Nice! A beautiful panorama.

Yes, yes.

Should I put this on?

- Yes, nice.

Where did you buy it?

- It's old, from Yamamay.

Y'know that I never find

anything at Yamamay?

OK!

- That is, none of these things, I mean.

I've been trying to take off

this lipstick for two hours.

Then red! It's beautiful, by all means!

Only that Valeria made me

put it on for an event...

When we did the Playboy girls.

With red lipstick I become truly a whore.

Yeah, I get a slutty face.

- Yes, red is vulgar on some girls.

True, I'm brunette, dear...

Even without make-up,

with red lipstick I seem a slut.

I mean, I give really the idea of a whore.

- Yeah, it stresses you more. - Yes.

Despite that they told me that

red lipstick suits me, honestly.

Yet I see myself as a b*tch with it.

- I know...

Ready?

- Ready to go!

Vamos.

I'm at work, now I stopped

for a second, alone.

Lallarella! Good morning!

Hi, Lapiz!

So, tell me the menu today.

- Menu today:
cold pasta...

I put tomatoes...

tuna...

and mozzarella.

Why not some oregano?

I don't have it! Now don't start, though!

It's already so much what I'm doing!

Are you sighing, lover?

I was on a second motorbike,

a friend of us was ahead alone,

because he had...

Some provisions with him...

A truck overtook us,

with a trailer.

Unfortunately,

getting back in lane,

it hit full on

our friend who was ahead.

- I'll be damned!

He was thrown on that...

rocky...

wall...

I won't tell you where

they found his brain.

Darling, tell me something good.

You're only saying ugly things.

I work all day on an ambulance,

and you come with all these misfortunes!

Do I get in too?

- Come on, get in.

Get in. Long as we're here.

Now comes the police: "Your ID"...

"What are you doing here?

You gotta go away, it's time."

What can you do?

This is our shitty life, sadly.

Some got a lot

and some have not.

Look at that pot belly!

He looks like Buddha, and is even a cop.

Look at his belly!

The belly gets there a mile before him!

What can you do? That's life.

It's gonna get cold, winter...

I gotta buy a pair of boots...

tomorrow.

What can you do? That's life!

Why are you singing a lullaby?

This song?

Quiet!

Headquarters, unit 617 on the spot.

Come in.

Warn the Sant'Andrea that we're coming

with a code 3. We need a resuscitator.

I'll call them.

One...

Go on, two.

- One, two,

three, four five, six, seven,

eight, nine, ten...

Go, one...

- Some more oxygen.

Two.

- One, two, three, four five, six, seven...

...24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.

Go!

Red palm weevil...

The true enemy of the palm.

They have a social structure

perfectly organised.

Some individuals,

particularly gifted,

can smell the prey

at a long distance.

And thus,

they call

their peers

to organise group orgies.

They then hurl themselves

on the individual and start,

after having spawned,

to colonise it.

They feed on it

until its destruction,

and they are not interested

in other individuals

except when

that being

has been completely destroyed.

And the cycle begins again.

And it's bad!

For the world of palm trees

and symbolically, even for man, because

the palm tree

is shaped like the human soul.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women, and

blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour

of our death, amen.

Glory to the Father, the Son,

and the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning,

is now and ever, forever and ever, amen.

Virgin of Revelation, pray for us

and give us the love of God.

No, she saw it...

It's blurry.

Look, look at the red now!

We are here for them as well,

for those who are not present.

We prayed also for the sick,

for all the souls in purgatory.

Here, look at how much red there is now!

Look! How can you not see it?

No, I don't see anything.

Then, when I develop the pictures,

I'll show you. - Yes.

Pity, because it's something...

Nice to see, and...

I think it's a gift that Our Lady gives us.

Watch how red! - It's brighter...

There is the red that pulsates! - Brighter

and dimmer, yes! - Can you see it now?

You see? Look how red it is now!

- Yes. - Look!

Oh! Finally!

Hi Umberto!

Well, just getting by!

How about yourself?

Holy crap! This Ring Road! Goddammit!

I'd swear every saint,

I can't stand it anymore!

And good thing that I took off early!

And then,

a girl I'm helping is waiting for me,

we're shooting together.

I was called by the director

of a photonovel, I'm working,

he gave me a role as butler.

You come into the field, and wait...

...and you stay farther there.

I say "Let's go"...

So, are we ready?

Let me see the framing... Good.

Hold it!

Hold on just a sec.

Here it is. The framing,

I just need to tighten it a bit.

The camera is acting up.

We're good.

Hold it.

Okay...

I go a bit more on them.

Hold it like that, still.

Hold on.

That's it. This is good.

"Doctor, maybe...". Twist your hands.

"I've never heard about that agency".

Touch him here, "Are you sure?"

"Are you sure that...?"

Gaetano, you must look this way.

Good.

I'll take you like that,

now you're also wondering that they

sent you something...

Hold on. He suspects that...

That you're in cahoots

with someone else...

Hold on.

All right. You're gone. It's all Ugo on

Ugo's thoughts. Hold still, look here.

And you say:
"There's something wrong."

There, even more in the foreground.

Perfect!

Now, come closer.

Gateano stays behind to listen to what...

That's it, stay there in the middle.

Now you turn.

"So, little girl!"

Put your hands like that. Here you are.

"Little girl, I spoke with your father.

I know everything". Hold it!

Hold it, it's good.

Look how pretty you are!

Yes, these photos came out good.

Did the director like them?

Yes. Indeed he chose these,

he took some of yours,

he didn't consider at all the other ones,

the more professional ones.

He said that for the photo novels

he preferred this kind.

Just think, you make me remember

when I was an extra.

I was in my twenties.

Me too, do you think it's been easy?

Oh, yeah!

I even found who wanted to bang me!

I've always avoided that.

Got it?

You've never given yourself?

I never gave myself. But I'll tell you,

if they had chosen me

as the leading actor for a movie,

I'd have given it.

I'm telling the truth.

Do you believe me?

The worst thing, if they had said:

"Hey, Gaetano...

see what you can do."

I'd have never done that!

But, if they had asked me

"to pick up the coin" we say in Rome,

in doggy position,

do it softly...

I'd have done it!
