so he travels the world.

But Uncle Cossiglio said

he's staying there now.

We have to find him.

Then what?

We kill him in his sleep.

What if someone see us?

No one will.

How will we kill him?

- With this.

- Are you crazy?

When do we do it?

Tomorrow, after school.

Mr. Antonini.

Mrs. De Angelis!

- Why are you here?

- I'm doing the shopping.

I mean, you should do it

in another neighborhood.

- I doubt you live around here.

- No, but I come here often.

My mother lives here.

She's elderly

so I shop for her.

- And it's cheaper here, right?

- It all seems expensive to me.

No, trust me.

For example,

this same bottle in a wine shop

downtown costs ten euros and

here it's only seven.

- Can I see?

- Sure.

This is no good.

Do you know wines?

No, I don't even drink.

Well, sometimes at lunch

with a glass of water.

I bought this exact same bottle

a few days ago

but I had to throw it out.

I'm glad you told me.

I'll put it back.

You have to know the brand.

Especially...

Take this can.

They're the most dangerous ones.

If you see a dent in one,

don't buy it

- because you might get botulism.

- Really?

Didn't you hear about that family

that was found dead

- after eating...

- Botulism

No, jam

- with the virus in it.

- Botulism, like I said.

I'm trying to help you

and you're mocking me.

No, I'm sorry.

That is very good advice.

I wish I had

someone like you

to help me do

the shopping.

You don't have anyone?

No.

God, I'm so nosy.

Sorry!

No, no one.

I guess no one can put up with me.

Well...

I come here every Friday.

If you come on Fridays too,

we can do it together.

Bye.

- You lied before.

- About what?

You said it was no good

but you're taking it.

Sorry, how silly!

I didn't realize it.

Would you have dinner with me?

No. Thank you but I'm married.

I figured that much.

All right, bye.

How about Friday?

Okay,

- what time?

- Is eight okay?

Eight o'clock, here.

When did I drill you last,

De Angelis?

I don't remember.

How many times have I told you!

"I don't remember, Madam. "

Better yet:
"I don't remember,

Madam. Thank you. "

Sorry.

Then again,

what can I expect from you people.

Come here.

Let's see,

have you studied?

Not much, Madam.

Not good.

I'll flunk you all if you don't study.

I've warned your parents.

All right, I'll help you out.

What subject do you

want to be drilled in?

Geography.

I know all the world capitals.

"Geography, Madam.

Thank you"!

Fine, since you know so much...

...what's the capital of the Philippines?

Quezon City.

Wrong, dunce.

It's Manila.

But it says Quezon City in my map.

Because your map is a dunce like you.

Let's try the back-up question.

What are the economic resources

in the Philippines?

Cattle?

Fishing?

Tourism?

You said you knew your Geography.

You don't know anything.

Good-for-nothing dunce,

is what you are.

I'm going to flunk you, boy.

And I haven't seen your girlfriend

in a week.

Tell her to come back

or I'll fail her too.

I don't know where she is.

She's working the streets!

What's wrong?

I shouldn't have listened to you,

I should have picked

the restaurant.

Don't you like it?

Ten forks,

I'll make you look bad.

You are so...

Here you are.

Isn't that what you say?

Let's get a little more personal.

Tell me something about yourself.

About me... like what?

Well, for example...

When did you start painting?

I don't know.

I used to watch my father paint

when I was little and I liked it.

He looked so important.

I wanted to be like him.

But what...

What do you like about my work?

I haven't thought about it.

But you...

You liked it

and bought some.

Of course I liked it.

I've never shown them to anyone.

Well, people have seen them

but I never

wanted to sell them.

I've never been able to

let go of them.

I don't know what happened,

but I feel so crowded now.

Then...

Then you bought them.

You made

me feel so important

for the first time.

When's Mom coming back?

She said she hasn't gone

out in years

and Dad's not democratic.

Your mother's a total b*tch.

Try and get some sleep.

Isn't she coming home?

Yes, she is!

Now get to sleep.

- Goodnight.

- Night, Dad.

How did you end up there?

Where?

In that neighborhood.

Why do you ask?

You don't seem to belong.

Am I wrong?

Yes.

All right, it's because of Alfredo.

Your husband?

Yes, my husband.

How did you meet him?

We went to school together,

I was young.

Then what?

Then, things just happened.

Are you happy?

I don't know anyone,

I never talk to anyone.

Over the years

I just stayed inside...

But no more.

What are you going to do?

Take Giampiero and run away.

I want to paint, I'm good at it.

I want to travel and be happy.

I want everything I can.

No more settling for things.

No more.

Did you have fun?

Yes.

Who did you go with

and where?

You promised you wouldn't ask,

I never go out without you.

Go dry off, you're all wet.

We're closed!

You guys are still out?

Don't you have a home?

Well?

We're closed, Pugliese.

I have something you might want.

Someone like you has something

I might want?

Look in a mirror.

All you have is lice.

- I haven't been feeling well.

- I can see that.

Giacinto said you might...

You f***ing idiot,

you want everyone to see?

Why would I want

this piece of sh*t?

He said you're an expert

- and might be interested.

- Give it up.

You're a collector.

I can give you 65 euros.

Sixty-five?

This is a gold Rolex!

This is locally made!

- At least 80.

- Sixty-five and go f*** off.

Sixty-five for that?

What now?

- Can't I get a beer?

- No way!

If they catch me giving you a beer

I'll get a 1,000 euro fine.

Now beat it.

- Are you Giampiero?

- Yes.

Romana's in the school theatre.

Hi, Romana.

Where have you been?

With him,

that guy.

But now I'm back because

I have a better idea.

Get me pregnant.

Why?

We have to get married

and live together.

He can't do anything to me

if we're married.

I don't know how.

It's easy, I'll show you.

Take your trousers off.

No, I'm too embarrassed.

- What if someone comes in?

- No one will.

How do you know?

They found a dead rat in here.

If there are rats, I'm leaving.

There aren't, I put it in here.

Why?

Just because.

It doesn't matter,

we can do it some other time.

No, now.

- De Angelis!

- What are you doing?

Do you think this is a whorehouse?

These are your students,

nothing like this has ever happened!

You'll be punished as an example!

You, with your trousers down,

you'll get the worst punishment!

What will they think of us now?

From now on, you'll listen to me.

- I'll whack you if you talk to her again.

- Stop it!

Stop, my ass.

He'll change his ways, you'll see.

You're so uncouth.

And you're a b*tch.

I did this one two years ago.

We were on holiday,

I was so happy then.

We were all happy back then.

Those were great times.

I was pregnant with Giampiero here,

- This was afterwards.
