You know how much I want this!

Don't make such a big deal.

- Is that all you know how to do?

- I was just joking.

Joking? F*** off!

Don't talk like that.

You're being crude.

You know what it means to him,

you go making jokes?

Enzo?

- Who is it?

- Here, behind the grating.

Hi Enzo,

it's Luciano, remember? - No.

From La Sonrisa,

the mall, the audition, Beppe.

Right.

- What the f*** are you doing there?

- Don't ask, I had to.

- How did you get here?

- The air ducts.

It's okay.

I'm really sorry, but...

I tried another way,

but they wouldn't let me.

- You could have waited outside!

- I just couldn't.

I'm on the john, you have to leave.

Listen, don't tell me I did all this

for nothing.

The show's starting,

but no one's called me.

You scared me just to ask that?

Okay, don't worry,

if they liked you, they'll call.

Even at the last minute,

but they'll call.

- That happened to you?

- Yeah.

They called me at the last minute.

- So, there's still hope?

- Of course there is.

- You have to keep believing.

- I believe plenty.

- I've invested so much.

- You did good.

Keep believing, always believe.

- So there's hope right to the end?

- Sure.

You don't know

what a weight you've lifted, thanks.

- Never give up.

- Sorry for barging in like this.

- What do we say?

- Never give up!

F*** off...

Security!

Don't you check the dressing rooms?

Let him talk.

Guys, this is a dream come true.

The evening's just begun,

it's going to be quite a night.

Let's see how they're doing.

Guys, can you hear me?

You're right to be happy because

you're the contestants

on the new Big Brother show.

Let's let them enjoy this moment

while I give you some big news:

The surprises are not over yet,

in fact, next week, on Big Brother,

another two contestants will join.

With incredible, moving stories.

People with incredible stories,

that's you!

He. S in!

Here we go again!

Luciano's not going in, get it?

He's already messed up enough!

- Calm down!

- Calm down?

Don't get so upset, Maria.

Why not, she's right, isn't she?

- What, you think she's wrong?

- Stop!

You're his ma, you should ask him

what the heck he's doing.

- I want to see him happy.

- Yeah, happy on the street.

Take it easy.

- Look what a mess you made!

- Cut it out.

I gotta cut it out?

Where have you been?

Come have a coffee.

- No, thanks.

- All your friends are here.

- I'm busy.

- Just a minute, for your friends.

I looked for you in the House,

but I didn't see you.

Where were you, in a drawer?

They'll take you for sure.

Yeah, they'll reel you in!

Don't listen to them.

You're the best, if they don't

choose you, the show's over.

I'm sure of it.

Let's hope so.

Hi.

Want something to eat?

Don't be scared.

Ciro, give him something

to eat, okay?

What do you want?

- Some pizza?

- Give him this, and this...

This and more pizza.

And something to drink too.

- Give him a big one.

- You're sure?

Over here, eat.

Give him something to drink too.

This makes three, Vittorio.

Can you give him something to drink?

Brandy.

Give him some. What else?

Ciro, that bottle over there,

and this one here.

C'mon.

- I'm paying, Vittorio.

- Sure.

Don't worry Ciro.

Get another bottle.

And more pizza, more pastries.

Give him more pastries.

- More pizza?

- No, I'm all set.

Have a pastry.

This one.

Luciano, if he gets drunk,

you're taking him home.

Don't worry, he's my guest.

I'm so happy to see you!

That's my stuff!

Give me that, give me that lamp!

Come here!

Luciano, what are you doing?

Here, these are for you.

- What are you doing?

- It's okay.

- Okay?

- Just a little charity for the poor.

You're crazy!

Giving away our stuff

after all we've sacrificed!

- Put that down I.

- It'll all come back to us...

- Not once, but a hundredfold!

- No, not that chair, no!

Leave it there!

Put my chair down!

What's wrong, are you crazy?

- What are you doing?

- They're giving me a last chance.

Who?

The people from the show,

they said a hotshot's going in.

That's me, they're watching me,

trust me.

That's it! Understand?

I let you do all sorts of things,

but this is it!

You're sick in the head,

you need help.

You think TV's wasting time and money

on an fool like you?

Stop it, you're sick.

Give it to me!

Somethin' for me?

So you still don't get it.

Go, and don't come back.

You liked all that free stuff?

Go get a job!

Get out of here, and fast!

What are you looking at?

That's the one who got my lamp.

I'll give you something, alright I.

Hey, what's going on?

Don't listen to her, come back.

Get out!

Come back!

Get out of here!

Can't you see

they're sending them to me?

Sending them to you?

Excuse me, could you tell the TV

to stop sending you?

Don't be funny!

Will you get a grip?

It's all in your head, wake up I

I don't need to get a grip,

it's like I'm telling you.

What's the matter?

You gotta help me, he's lost it.

He has this thing

about the TV spying on him

so he's giving people our stuff.

She's lying! Sure, I gave

some things to the poor,

just a little charity.

Now look what she goes inventing!

So now I'm a liar?

- Just a little charity.

- Don't you start saying that too.

He thinks the TV's spying on him

so he's giving away our stuff

to make himself seem...

he's driving me nuts!

You don't understand me,

if that's what you think.

- You don't understand me at all.

- What's to understand '?

You're doing this

because you want to ruin me,

but I won't let you.

Then why's she inventing all this?

Calm down.

I'm not coming back, it's over.

- Go then, if you want to ruin me.

- Hear that?

I said go, if you want to ruin me.

She wants to ruin me,

but I won't let her.

Come down here, talk to her.

Everything okay?

Forget about her.

That's the way she is, sorry...

Come on in.

Something to drink?

Uncle Luciano?

Still not ready? Get moving.

Come here.

Look.

- What's that?

- A cricket.

Look how it moves!

Come and see, Auntie.

Look at that.

Do you think it's normal

having a cricket in here?

I've never seen one inside the house.

How'd it get in here?

From the window.

Right, but did you ever see a cricket

in this house, or anywhere here?

- Not me.

- Never inside.

And so, it's strange.

Let's open the window

and let it out.

A waste of time, it's not leaving.

Let's go, it's late.

I'll catch up with you.

- He's not coming?

- He'll be here.

Excuse me, ladies,

I can't go on like this.

This is getting to be too much.

- What's the matter?

- Just tell me, yes or no.

I keep giving things away, but still

no call about getting into the House.

What call?

If I have to do more,

just tell me and I'll do it.

What should I do?

Be patient, don't rush things.

I have plenty of patience,

it's just that I've invested

everything to get into the House.

Only death has no remedy,

everything else works out.

- You want to get into that house?

- Yes.

- Then you will.
