Mr. Nobody Page #4

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,

I want his car!

Even if you don't tell me,

I will find his f***ing car!

(In Russian)

We're in business

Hey, how about me?

Great!

(In Russian)

Get down!

Go get me the lint and

the gasoline from the trunk.

If you go again to the cops,

it will get worse.

And say hello to your

whore sister...

she knows exactly

what I mean...

He's got a knife!

Hello...

He's not here...

I'm his wife...

Yes, Tybalt...

I'm his mother...

Who is it?

You've got him, you motherf***er...

you butchered the f*ggot...

You f***ed him!

He pulled a knife, he pulled

a knife for the f***ing car...

Stop!

We'll get killed, man!

Get out...

(In Russian)

It's him

Pedra will get you in the ship.

(In Russian) Want some?

Tell him... no guns,

no drugs... just him.

Okay? Only him...

- He must bring his passport.

- It's okay, he understood.

So, if he's late he wont get in,

are we clear?

That's the best thing to do.

Go away.

Don't do like Mercut did.

At least one of you

should survive.

Come on...

we have to fix a few more things.

Everything's gonna be alright.

I don't know.

What do you mean

you don't know, man?

If you turn your self in,

you think the Albanians

will let you get away with it?

(In Albanian)

Yes...

Do we know where he lives?

It's a deal. I'll go home,

come there to settle it.

He goes with the car?

What's up?

- How's it going?

- Fine.

(In Russian)

For the road.

And don't go to your place.

Someone could be waiting

for you there.

Take care.

Okay, let's move on, kids.

Hey, man, shouldn't

we hide also?

What did I say, man?

Watch your head.

Previously I had fish here,

but it didn't go well...

You said you are Russian,

aren't you?

There, sit...

(In Albanian)

Tell your mother to get ready...

We leave in the morning...

we're taking Tybalt to Albania.

and you get your things...

you'll stay there... at grandma's.

Go tell her!

I'm the only one, no one

else has authentic passports.

All the others have fakes.

They are good only for Africa.

Where are you heading to?

The same sh*t is

wherever you go.

I became 50 and the only place I've

gone is my previous wife's village.

I have no urge to go anywhere.

Where would I find a worse place?

I'll tell you this,

so many passports pass

from my hands,

and still I don't own one.

Yes, I swear to God! Each time

I say it, it makes me shiver.

I don't have a passport

of my own...

Aren't you going to pick up

your phone?

Why don't you answer?

I called you so many times...

My parents want to take me

back to Albania...

Someone killed my brother...

I don't know what to do...

Is your daddy here?

(In Albanian)

Go to your room immediately!

- Who is this man?

- Nobody. Go to your room.

What are you staring at? Go!

There...

Roman Montegu.

Don't make any foolishness

and forget to learn your data.

My parents want to take me

back to Albania...

Someone killed my brother...

I don't know what to do...

I don't know how it happened...

Listen to me...

It was an accident...

he had a knife...

I was in self defence...

I didn't mean to hurt him.

It was an accident...

Go away!

Stop staring at me, go!

Listen to me

Let me go, don't touch me!

I am begging you... listen...

- It was an accident.

- I don't believe you.

Let go off me!

Don't touch me!

Please.

Please.

I've got nowhere to go...

I only want to be with you.

I don't know what to tell you.

Tell me anything...

You know what to do.

You always did!

(In Albanian) You can bang

your hand as much as you want...

We should let the police handle it.

He killed your son!

he police would do nothing,

the guy would remain unpunished.

Tomorrow we'll go back and

mourn him like we should.

We will mourn him

with the blood of someone else!

Stop it, the kid is here.

Where were you?

Out.

You haven't packed yet.

Go on!

What are you looking at? Go!

- Let's go.

- Are you sure?

BE BACK SOON:

I didn't hear you leaving.

I thought you changed your mind.

- Thanks a lot.

- Thank God.

Don't forget to learn the data.

Let go off me!

(In Albanian) Dad, pull over

when you can please.

- What's wrong with her?

- It's the car.

"We, the people of Achaia,

on our way back from Troy

through oceans and various winds,

longing to return home,

but took the wrong way..."

If you like it that much,

why don't you read it by yourself?

Homer wrote these

stories to be told,

not to be read.

"we beg of you to rescue us.

And if you do so,

we shall fill you with gifts,

as is customary in every place

around the world.

Hospitable Zeus protects travellers,

and lets his grace follow

them throughout the journey"

Do you know what

I like about this story?

What?

That someday he reached

his homeland.
