The GRA, Great Ring Road,

is the longest urban motorway in Italy.

It encircles the city of Rome

like a ring of Saturn.

Hi, it's 617 speaking, do me a favour:

Can you cancel the fire department

intervention for my rescue?

We took the patient out of

the ditch by ourselves.

Keep calm! We're going to put

this on you to stay warm.

OK?

No, no...

- It'll keep you warm.

It's good for you! It keeps you warm,

understand? You won't feel cold.

Then we'll unwrap you on Easter!

Stay calm with your hands!

No, no, no, no, no.

Keep calm, please!

You need to stay warm,

it's cold outside, come on!

We put this on you on purpose.

South-east palm...

number 06...

absence of noise.

Oasis' eye...

palm 6, side...

South-east.

Presence...

of noise...

larvae's squeaking...

And adults' noise,

immediate intervention.

Stop.

We are at...

at the exit of the Ring Road.

You must take exit number 2,

Boccea, and drive through via Boccea.

We can rent

for any kind of location.

For cinema, theatre,

fashion shows,

birthday parties.

Yes.

Yes, of course.

For an aristocratic house, let's say.

Yes, we have a huge hall.

Yes, sure.

We offer bed-and-brecfas.

We offer bed-and-brefast.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

About ten episodes, yes.

Only one, it's one episode at the moment.

A pilot, let's say.

Yes.

The eyelash of a mask, oh my!

Wait, wait, I'll put something!

The report says:

"Lewd acts, completely naked".

- With nothing on?

But I'm completely dressed!

The report says, "We caught her

in the car, completely naked".

So, it's an offence!

- I went to the police.

So, now...

- I went to the police,

I spoke with the captain:

"It says completely naked...

and I am dressed!

I come to work dressed as

when I go out. Why naked?

I can report you, y'know?"

- Sure!

"Lady, go on, talk to a lawyer", said he.

- Sure!

I'll talk to a lawyer.

- Go to the peace officer,

tell him the situation.

- Lots of people at his office.

No, no more now.

I went, but the queue was f***ing long.

Make a sacrifice, gal.

- No, I'll get a lawyer!

OK, get a lawyer,

tell him they're piling...

A bunch of lies.

- I get a lawyer, I tell him the facts,

so I'll write to the mayor,

they can't do this! "Naked in the car"...

I'm really... composed.

Eat it, this mozzarella is good.

Yes, but it's not mozzarella.

- They're called braids.

I like braids more than mozzarella

- I know but...

is it your food or mine?

I'm starving.

If I take...

French eels. Right?

Then I take those from America,

then those from Africa,

and I bring them to Italy,

with our waters, and our problems,

if this eel that I bring over

has 10 microbes

in Italy they grow to 2 million,

because they have

a different life and habitat.

Then we mix all these microbes...

we put them all together...

But I say,

if you wanna do research, OK?

Then do it...

In Russia, in America, do it where

the hell you want, with your stuff...

but don't mix it up!

You want to create an eel livestock?

Do it with the Italian eel!

What's the need to go elsewhere...

to do some crap?

Here's another, Ir.

This is a real laugh!

Listen to this, Ir!

So then...

"Eels are traditionally fished

and eaten during winter". Right!

"That is, right after reproduction".

Says who?

If they reproduce in the Sargasso Sea,

how can I eat an eel

right after reproduction?

I'd have to fish it in the Sargasso Sea!

This is a jumbo nonsense!

"Once again it shifts on who buys...

Dear citizens, our 30% of land,

for the obstruct..."

Aw, come on, go learn the language!

Go to school!

This is really rubbish, Ir!

Better throw away everything,

and so long!

We're truly in the hands of people

that understand nothing, and zilch.

But us, who spend an entire life

on the water, nobody consults us.

Nobody cares about us.

Right, Ir?

What do you say, Ir?

It's alright as is?

Let's go on, what do we care!

If you keep on cutting and sewing...

We'll call you Penelope!

Yes!

Yes, yes, tell him yes.

Exactly, this is it. Stop the other unit,

we're already there ourselves.

Alright, I'll call you back soon.

Look at all those flyers!

What the f*** did he do? - They went on

a binge. Look at how he wrecked the car!

Where is he, still inside? - I don't know.

- Careful for the gasoline.

Gentlemen, will you go away

with those cars? We can't pass.

One is fine.

Come give me a hand.

Unit 617 heading to Sant'Andrea Hospital.

Where is the Sant'Andrea?

- Here on the Ring Road.

Unit 617 heading to Sant'Andrea.

Headquarters?

Received?

Look, the 113 does not respond.

Hey, can I work tomorrow?

I don't think so.

Moreover, some rest won't hurt you.

Rest? Who the f*** will pay me?

Come to me.

I give away money!

Are we already there?

- Yes. - Wow!

I could have gone on foot to the hospital!

- No, you'd have gone in projection!

Going!

Go, it's loose...

Look what a show!

Over there, St. Peter's dome. No doubt,

the dome can be seen just everywhere!

Look.

Over there.

You know, I was observing that...

I don't know!

These houses, are they inhabited?

Which ones? - These here.

- The terraced houses? - Yes, those.

There is nobody!

- These up front or over there?

Here there was a light, last night.

You know, this new house?

Yes, they're inhabited, at times...

- This one, yes.

But in those ones there is never a light.

Nothing - Maybe they're not as blind

as me, so they don't need light.

Don't you say, come on,

but it's not possible!

When a house is occupied and inhabited,

some light can be seen.

Not that I spend the evenings to check,

but definitely I would see something.

I don't know, I never noticed.

No, there is someone there,

on the ground floor.

Those who have, y'know, dogs, the black

and white dog... - No - that play... Here!

In the lawn

adjacent to this ours,

where there are those two trees.

Do it right, look - Yes Mum, I understand.

- This way. Careful, it drips.

At least we leave it all clean.

Got it?

Well, I did all these signs myself!

- You've done them all indeed!

You don't write on the walls.

- But it's fun writing on the walls.

I know, but you can't.

- Can I write in the bedroom? - No!

Not in the new room.

Nor here you may,

because here there'll be another family.

No, because Lawrence Durrell

was in workforce at...

At the Foreign Office.

Like his father.

He's dead? - Don't you remember his story

of the famous fan, that is, this blade

made of palm leaves, which

came and went over the table of

of the dining room, which

at one point dropped a boa,

a python, what was it?

In the midst of the diners.

Funny, huh?

Exciting.

Poor thing!

It too put itself in a cool place!

What happened to that book there?

We left it somewhere

during our peregrinations.

Nothing. Here nothing moves.

A plane is coming from afar...

Yes, there's a nice view.

You gotta come some day.

Yes, it's nice. I just don't know how is

called that one there. A neighbourhood,

to my right, I don't

know what place it is.
