Notizie degli scavi Page #2

---

Thank you very much.

Don't worry, it'll be fine.

- Are you going to take him?

- Yes.

Are these ancient stones?

- What?

- Of ancient Rome?

Listen, he will take you to her.

Do you remember what I told you?

Yes, the keys.

The keys are in the little drawer,

the suitcase, I'll send someone for it,

and when she'll be discharged,

she shouldn't write because...

So, shall we?

OK, then... bye.

- I'm counting on you, OK?

- Yes... Thank you. Bye,

- Jeez, we made good money!

- Keep it down...

- Did my niece send you?

- Who?

Sorry, I thought my niece had sent you.

Hi... Lea sent me.

I was at the house in via Principe

Amedeo, I don't know if you remember.

She said that she left

her keys in the little drawer

and that when

you will be discharged, you shouldn't...

She can't hear you,

they gave her morphine!

She has

a splintered fracture in her ribs.

Jeez! That's bad!

Not at all, it's a miracle

she had no lung complications.

You know,

this will be my fourth surgery.

- Listen, are you from Rome?

- Who, me? Yes.

Actually,

not really, but I live in Rome.

I thought my niece had sent you.

No, I live

in a house in via Principe Amedeo.

- Oh, Via Principe Amedeo?

- Yes.

Although, I should say that I lived

there because I got kicked out.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I did chores in this house.

This morning,

the lady pretended that I...

Before, and that would be yesterday,

she told me what I had to buy,

including cheese.

If she hadn't told me, I never would

have bought it on my own initiative!

- What the heck!

- But this morning...

Look, do you have a special permission?

You are here outside visiting hours.

- Am I bothering anyone?

- Everybody, this is not visiting time.

- Is he a relative of yours?

- Of mine? I don't even know him!

I was actually going to tell him

that this is not visiting time.

- Well, what do you want?

- I have a message for her!

- Mancinelli!

- I'm her cousin. - Mancinelli!

See him out and find out who let him in

or I will hold you accountable for it.

What are you doing?

You have to leave!

Come back in the afternoon,

you can't get in now.

You better be careful,

the nun took it out on me.

I told that moron

he shouldn't stay too long!

Don't you have your keys?

- Do you know if...?

- Come on in! We already had lunch.

- But do you know if...?

- Come on! Get in!

No, don't even mention it.

I told you right away that

I should go for blood tests.

That's all for the best,

then, thank God.

Professor, hurry up and eat,

you have an errand to run.

- But then...

- Hurry up, don't make her mad again.

- Professor?

- Huh?

- Are you feeling sick?

- Huh? Oh, no, no...

- Aren't you going to eat the omelet?

- Maybe tonight. Right now...

You can do the dishes tonight.

- You have to go to via Farini, now.

You know where I mean? - Yes.

Tell her I'm sending her both girls

right away, as soon as they get dressed,

but I want them back by dinnertime,

because that's when it gets busy here.

- Understood?

- Yes, I have.

I'll go take a nap.

You're gonna have to hurry

because she needed to know before 2.

Don't be late

because I'm going for a pedicure at 6

and there's nobody here

in case somebody asks for the room.

Me too,

I want to go for a pedicure, on Monday.

- Listen, did you see Lea?

- Huh? Oh, yes, I did!

What did she want?

Nothing, just an errand.

I'll tell you tonight.

But... where did she go?

She didn't...

- Excuse me, she didn't...

- Surgery A.

Thank you, but how...

This is just for the admissions, now

she's in Surgery A, Giannantonio's ward.

Marquise?

Marquise?

Look at that!

Where is everybody else supposed to sit?

I'll be darned!

So much for good quality socks!

Just look at that...

- Professor?

- Sorry... I'm sorry.

I was at via Principe Amedeo's,

I don't know if you remember me.

I remember. How are you?

Well... so-so.

- And how are you?

- Well... so-so.

Does it hurt?

She has a splintered fracture,

they gave her morphine this morning.

Professor? Come here.

Sit down.

- Listen...

- Yes.

- Did Lea send you?

- She did.

I was here this morning

but they asked me to leave.

And they had given you morphine.

Are you better now?

- A lot better.

- Thank goodness!

When I got here, you were crying...

But... why?

Were you angry?

Because Lea said you shouldn't be.

- I shouldn't?

- No.

- Why not?

- I'm telling you, you shouldn't.

First of all, she had told you

right away that you shouldn't have.

And now, she's gone because

of this big time opportunity she got.

She said that when you get discharged

there's no point

in writing to her, you see?

You really want to get angry, then!

- Lea said...

- Who cares about Lea!

I don't care about Lea!

It's not for her.

Come on, come on!

How much she got?

Did you hear what the nun said?

"Come on, come on!"

Just go, Professor.

Please, go away!

Wail:
!

- I apologize.

- No, it's OK. What for?

- I'm sorry, I'm not angry at you.

- Thank goodness!

Because you know...

apparently everything else is my fault.

- I did nothing against you!

- No.

Did you see that?

Now, if there's a dent in a bed

she might say that a patient did it.

- What? - I mean, they

often say it's the patients' fault.

Oh... that's for sure!

Don't make me laugh, it hurts.

Get me my purse in the nightstand.

This one, that's right.

Thanks.

When I arrived, there was someone

in that bed on the other side,

and her hair was dyed just like yours.

I thought it was you.

- Huh?

- What is it?

No! I didn't mean

to say that you got dyed hair!

Professor, I'm going to kill you.

Are you checking

if someone damaged it?

So often, people move your stuff and

bruise it, even if it's quality stuff.

No, I was just looking at it...

It might not even

be quality stuff, is it?

- You had it for a long time?

- No.

Often, especially

these items they make nowadays

you only know when you use them.

Lately, I have...

- When are you coming to see me again?

- Well, I... What?

- I asked, when are you coming to see

me again? - Oh... yes, of course I am!

- I forgot to tell you two things.

- Tomorrow? - Yes, but, listen up...

Hey! You're still here!

You have to leave.

- I was telling her... - You can

tell her tomorrow, you must leave now.

Be good!

Be good!

Come on, don't start just yet!

Can you come with me to Tivoli today?

Same place I went the other day.

Didn't they tell you they would

give you the cab fare?

I added the cab fare to the price

but since I can go by bus...

We need to get on the bus at 4.

And we'll be back at... you can wait

for me at 7, just like we did before.

Then, maybe I should do the dishes

right away, so we won't be late.

- Aren't you going to see her?

- Who?

Oh! That's right, I got

so busy I almost forgot.

- Well, the dishes...

- They'll do the dishes.

You go see how she's doing

and tell her what I told you yesterday.

- I'll meet you at the bus, at 4.

- Alright, thanks.
