Mr. Nobody Page #2

Synopsis: In the year 2092, one hundred eighteen year old Nemo is recounting his life story to a reporter. He is less than clear, often times thinking that he is only thirty-four years of age. But his story becomes more confusing after he does focus on the fact of his current real age. He tells of his life at three primary points in his life: at age nine (when his parents divorced), age sixteen and age thirty-four. The confusing aspect of the story is that he tells of alternate life paths, often changing course with the flick of a decision at each of those ages. One life path has him ultimately married to Elise, a depressed woman who never got over the unrequited love she had for a guy named Stefano when she was a teenager and who asked Nemo to swear that when she died he would sprinkle her ashes on Mars. A second life path has him married to Jean. Their life is one of luxury but one also of utter boredom. And a third life path has him in a torrid romance with his step-sister Anna, the two who,

Why don't you dance?

I'm dancing.

I'm dancing I tell you...

In my thoughts.

I'm ok.

(In Russian) What do you think

you're doing, man?

She is the rat's sister.

Wait. Wait.

I'm sorry for the incident,

my friends are

a pain in the ass sometimes.

Wait!

Since yesterday,

when we...

bumped into each other...

What?

I think about you all the time.

Those friends of yours...

are they Russians?

- How about you?

- Yeah...

No...

I am Nobody.

That's what you'll say to

your friends if they ever ask you.

I was with Nobody!

I was with Nobody!

Let's go inside?

- I have to go.

- We'll be the two of us only.

Really, I've got to go home.

- Can I... can I take you home?

- Have you got a car?

No.

I've got a scooter.

...but I don't have it here

I kind of like that

you don't have a car.

My brother cares only for his car.

That is why I'm saying this.

I know.

Do you know Tybalt?

Give him my regards.

Regards from Nobody?

Afterwards...

are you going back...

to the night club?

Maybe. I don't know.

- Why?

- Nothing...

Yesterday, when

I saw you at the stairs...

went out the balcony to see you...

But you didn't see me.

If you'd looked up,

you would have seen me.

- My telephone number...

- I have it.

I have to go now.

- What is your name?

- Julia.

Julia...

I haven't felt like this before.

You are the most beautiful girl

I have ever met.

The most beautiful

girl in the world!

No, no!

If they wake up...

If they hear you...

One kiss and I'll leave.

Just one kiss.

Go now.

One more

(In Albanian) First you run away and

then you bring your steady here!

So everyone in the neighborhood

should learn that you are a slut.

I sweat all day

at the construction sites,

and both of you became outcasts!

Why? Why?

What's up, man?

Was it the rat's sister the one

you're head over hills with?

I didn't know she was his sister.

And when you found out?

Something changed?

What's up, a**hole,

are you totally mad?

you think you'd become

a lawyer and f*** the rest of us?

How do you know he is

the one who gave you to the cops?

Before jail, you pushed drugs to

everyone. Anyone might have been.

Correct, wanker!

- It could have been you maybe?

- Cut the crap!

What are you staring, wanker?

Are you the rat?

Tell me, you prick,

did you tell the cops?

F*** you,

I'm sick of this bullshit, car

races and Albanians and sh*t!

You may be pretending

to be a local but...

deep down inside

you are still the same guy.

Take it easy with the girlie.

It's gonna get worse with them.

Worse than what?

Motherf***er...

Like the guy in the cell.

- What guy?

- You're leaving us one day at a time.

And you're leaving us

f***ing quickly.

I'm gonna sit and watch.

You've got nowhere to go!

He didn't f***, man...

it's hard...

Get lost or I'll f*** you

first thing in the morning!

Who told you this sh*t, that

the nose gets soft when you...

It's scientifically confirmed,

squeeze mine.

It's because of the black chick,

yesterday.

Now, tell me about the sister

of that Albanian rat.

Is her p*ssy tight or not?

He doesn't answer to this kind

of questions, he is a gentleman.

Guys, cut the bullshit with Albanian

and stuff, cause you pit against me.

After all, we don't know that this

nice guy told tales on me, do we?

What do you want now, huh?

(In Russian)

Let's hit the road now!

Coming or you have to check

whether you're having your nails done...

or a golf game?

Come on, pal...

I told you!

I was with the kids from school.

Really?

I hear other things.

They told me they saw you

leaving the club with a Russian.

Is he the one who climbed up

onto the balcony?

Did he screw you?

I asked you something. Tell

me, did he screw you?

- Answer me! Did he screw you?

- No.

Are you telling the truth?

I'm sorry,

I'm sorry, ok?

You 're young and you don't get it.

They have quarrel with me

and they...

Look, he doesn't like you.

He'll screw you, he'll record

you on his cell phone,

and he'll humiliate you to our folks.

So, you are protecting me?

Like mum and dad do.

No to be humiliated.

I don't give a sh*t for

whatever our folks tell you.

I don't want you to get into trouble.

You're never gonna see him again.

Ever!

Or else? What's gonna happen?

You'll protect me some more?

He shoots you with

his cell phone, so what?

Do you know in how many

videos I'm on?

- I could open a video rental!

- Stop it, Nelly!

This is not like him. He's not

that kind of a guy.

These guys are the worst kind!

Pricks, they play it nice and stuff,

I can recognize them at once.

He doesn't pretend to be nice. He

doesn't pretend to be anything!

Its like... whatever he does and says,

the way he smiles,

the way he looks at me,

like nothing else counts for him...

Only I count for him.

- I hadn't realized that you...

- What?

Go talk to him, not over

the phone, in person,

so that you can see his eyes.

- If he gets pissed off?

- He won't.

If things are like you say

they are and he sees you so in love,

he wont get pissed off.

- He was different before...

- Before prison?

Before the car crash.

He couldn't cope with it.

After that he began doing

some crazy sh*t.

Before, even if he was to push

one joint he would be careful.

- After that...

- I remember.

You know what I think?

I think he did it on purpose.

He wanted to get caught.

And when he got caught

he liked it.

He wanted to be punished...

be punished for the

other guy who got burned...

And what's the deal

with the Albanian guy?

Prison was not enough for him.

He won't rest until

he gets killed...

Did you see our pal...

I just got out and he's already

found me a job. He's a real friend.

No, I'm not at work.

Alright, in half an hour.

Yeah.

- I've got to go.

- Sure you do.

Are you going to

the Albanian chick?

At least,

if you f*** her this time,

shoot her with your

cell phone to send it to...

Come off it, alright?

What are you doing, a**hole?

Are you nuts?

- Don't be angry.

- I'm not angry.

If your brother told you so,

that means he knows.

That's what I want.

To humiliate you.

I didn't believe him.

But I wanted

to hear it from you also.

What is this?

- Did he do this to you?

- No.

He didn't...

It's because we were

late last night...

...they heard...

Did he hear me climbing

onto the balcony?

Can we please not talk about it

any more... Please...

It doesn't matter.

I've been beaten up before.

At least...

yesterday it had a meaning.

It's ok, honestly.

What's up...

are the prisons overcrowded so

they're cutting loose the murderers?

They're making room for the rats.

I heard that ten of our guys

f***ed you while you were in there.

There's even more...

they f***ed me with their asses

and I was caressing their back...

Cut it off, man!

Cut it off! The boss.

He doesn't like this kind of sh*t.

One of these days

we'll have a talk.

I don't think so.

First you have

to learn how to drive.

Try not to kill someone again.
