Sicilian Ghost Story Page #3

- because I keep dreaming.

But I can't keep going like this, -

- because thanks to dreaming alone

all the time, -

- I really will become a fool.

Only you can help me -

- because what I dream of is you.

I dream of you at every moment.

Day and night.

I'm in this dream as well.

So to solve this problem -

- you have to answer this very

simple question:

Giuseppe, -

- do you want to get together?

If you say no, I'll stop dreaming.

I admit it, I'll cry. That's normal.

Maybe we could stay friends, -

- that way, instead of copying

my homework, I could help you do it.

If you say yes, l'll dream the things

I've dreamt with you, -

- but it won't be a dream any more, -

- but the most beautiful thing

in the world, -

- us two together.

If we get together, -

- I'll still help you with your homework, -

- and you can teach me to ride horses!

Let me out of here!

Open up!

I want to get out of here!

Let me out of here!

He's small but troublesome, Puppy Dog!

You're nothing but cowards!

When's the new kennel going to be ready?

He can't stay here any longer.

Watch, he bites!

You know what they say in Russia?

What?

That every time

there's a moment of silence, -

- a cop is born.

In Russia.

Here, it's a Mafioso that's born.

I've got nothing to tell you.

You can imagine what hospital

was like.

Stuffed with pills...

Tell me about you, come on, otherwise

another Mafioso will be born.

Well, there is a bit of news...

You sure you want to know?

What is it, then?

I beat my father and my brothers.

Bye-bye, cheese and ricotta...

I'm going to secondary school!

In the city!

Can you imagine?

Loredana the cheesemaker at secondary!

And do you like it?

I don't know.

But something good has already

come of it...

Hold tight...

I've got a boyfriend!

No, it's not a joke.

Is he hot?

Hot? The word hot does not render

the idea.

He is literally superhot.

A force of nature. A cyclone!

Has he got a name, this superhot cyclone?

Calogero...

And he likes music. Rap.

We sing together!

His cousin Nino writes the lyrics.

His cousin's nice as well.

You must meet them!

I hate rap.

OK, but who cares?

Saturday we could do something together.

Loredana's right.

Go and enjoy yourselves, love.

Also because, when we go away, -

- you won't get to see each other

that often, love!

Don't pay any attention.

She's been like that for a while...

She became affectionate.

It happens, even to Swiss mothers.

"When we go away"?

Will you tell me what that means?

They say it's not good for me

to stay here, -

- that I need a change of air.

Which means...?

My mother is on the phone

to her brother every day

in Blimpliz.

I think they're going to take me there.

When were you planning on saying?

You'll never be rid of me.

Get that into your head.

The sea...

I can smell the sea!

I want to see it!

I want to see the sea!

I want to see the sea!

Never tell anyone.

I promise!

Can you see the sea?

But I can smell it.

Sure, in your head!

In mine at least there is the sea.

I recognised your voice.

You were a friend of my dad's.

That's why you never said anything.

If you ever want to get home...

I won't tell anyone.

We need to go.

I won't tie it too tight...

Sh*t, that is so wild...so wild!

A guy with a face like a pig...

First saw him in front of

Giuseppe's house, -

- then in the house in the woods...

So just in your nightmares?

They're not nightmares!

What are they, then?

We have to go that way.

Oh, what are you two doing?

Get a move on!

Well? What do you think?

So long as you like him.

You can say that again.

Nice vest.

You like it?

Especially with this cold.

Cold, hot, ice, sun, -

- like you teach us, little one,

it's all in our heads!

If you didn't rap

when you're speaking to me, -

- I'd really appreciate it.

Friendly...

Luna, -

- the woods are beautiful...

but where exactly are we going?

What are you looking for?

A house.

The house under construction I saw

the night I nearly drowned.

When you tried to kill yourself,

you mean?

If you don't want to follow us, -

- as far as I'm concerned, your

presence isn't exactly essential.

The house didn't have planning

permission, right?

I wouldn't know. I think so.

It was ugly, that's for sure.

It makes me sad as well.

But to kill yourself for that?

I don't know...

Cousin, that wasn't the reason...

Imagine if there was a suicide -

- for every home without planning

permission.

Where we're from, -

- humanity would be reduced

to hardly anything.

Nature would prevail again.

The rivers and lakes

would be clean once more.

Trees would grow everywhere.

Human ruins would be covered

with vegetation -

- and our island would again belong

to the gods -

- who once lived here numerous -

- the nymphs ran around in the woods -

- and Pan's flute rang out.

I'd like to hear that...

I think about it all the time.

Come on, Nino. Help me.

Let's go up here.

And people say Luna's mad.

Your cousin's not mucking about

either...

The house was there.

And now it's vanished.

Nature, like Nino says,

has won again.

Luna...

I hid here and then went in.

One thing matches...

The water.

You're right...

Lots of water.

This puddle, -

- the cistern beneath the trapdoor...

They're not coincidences.

Stop!

Stop right now!

What is it?

It was him, Loredana!

Him who?

Pigface! It was him, I tell you.

It's the same car!

Luna, calm down.

We have to report this!

Let's go home.

The woods was already a really bad idea.

Get on.

Let's go home, please.

I know what you're thinking.

Listen to me...

You can go...

I'm not leaving you here,

that's for sure.

You want to report it, no?

You need to follow him!

And he'll take us straight to Giuseppe?

Yes! Well, maybe not to Giuseppe, -

- but to those who were involved

in his kidnap, -

- for sure!

- Of course, -

- because we're all idiots?

You said it!

Put Giuseppe's house under surveillance

and find Pigface!

Giuseppe's grandfather meets him...

Luna!

They'll have tried to resolve -

- The situation among themselves!

- Mrs Conigliaro, -

- can you tell me what's going on?

Your daughter's a bit over the top...

You have to excuse her, sir...

My daughter...

Was recently hospitalised...

For treatment -

- of a psychological nature, -

- let's say.

I understand.

I understand and I'm sorry.

No, you don't understand anything!

Luna, don't dare!

Come on, let's go home.

Dad, you know him!

He was there at the marble factory

we went to.

Love, what nonsense are you saying?

Let's not waste the officer's time.

He's already been very patient.

I'm not talking nonsense!

- My husband and I are mortified...

- Leave me alone!

- But as you can see...

- Leave me alone!

My daughter's not well...

- Leave me alone!

- Luna...

You're a scumbag just like everyone else!

Why did you call them?

Why 7

Puppy Dog has totally shat himself!

What'll we do?

What d'you think?

We'll clean him up.

This is not for me.
