Teeth Page #2

---

Say something sweet to me?

I like it when you

whisper to me, in the dark.

Then I have lovely dreams.

My mouth hurts too much.

What is it?

Nothing.

I heard a noise.

Tell me what's wrong then!

Nothing, I told you.

I wanted to see

who was in our bed.

Maybe there's a set amount

of happiness for each of us.

Maybe I've already had mine.

REMEMBER THE APPOlNTMEN WlTH LUCA AT 3:00.

I should have paid more attention

to those happy moments.

Professor Calendars office.

It's urgent, I need

an appointment right away.

I'm a good friend

of Doctor De Rosa's.

But life, when it's happy,

goes on casually.

What are my teeth hiding?

What secrets?

Someone help me discover

what's dwelling in my body.

Good morning.

Are you Doctor De Rosa's friend?

Please take a seat.

Did I ever show you my catalogue?

Uncle Nino!

Didnt you ever see

my collection?

Sit down.

These are Angela's hairs.

If you like, you can touch them.

Gently.

This is Angela.

Maria.

This is Teresa.

Antonella!

- Are they all loves?

- All loves.

Of course!

You need strength

to have all these loves.

Your uncle is very strong.

Touch my muscle, it's like steel.

Please, come on.

Please, come on.

It's like steel.

Come on, please.

Right away.

Don't be afraid.

I'm not afraid of dentists,

I hate my teeth,

sooner you pull these out,

the better.

What's wrong with them?

They grew in unexpectedly

and ruined my face.

I'd like you to change

the two front teeth.

Open your mouth.

Watch it,

I'll chomp your fingers off!

They are not unsightly.

Prognathic, of course.

Too big.

The molars are enormous!

Who broke those incisors?

Took a lot of energy

to break teeth that strong.

Open your mouth again.

Do you have children?

Their teeth like this too?

Spit.

See that? It's blood.

Don't underestimate this,

many things can hide

in that pulp.

- Like what Doctor?

- Anything.

Take nothing for granted.

- Something serious?

- Ever had X-rays taken?

- What's tomorrow look like?

- It's a long day.

- Find an hour there.

- I'll try.

Find an hour there!

Women are excellent organizers.

It's a painkiller,

one each morning and evening.

Excellent organizers, but never

give them too much rope.

Maria, for example,

has taken over too much power.

Women enter your life quietly

then slowly take over.

They organize your existence,

start telling you

what you should do.

Maria was hired

to answer the phone

and little by little

got the others sent away.

She was monstrously clever.

I know!

I allowed her to do it!

Now I can't do without her.

I need her

and this makes me nervous,

you know?

I've become dependent.

I've always had to do

everything myself!

Just as I feared.

There's widespread inflammation,

infiltration of something.

We'll have to investigate.

X-rays tomorrow,

take nothing for granted.

Maybe cut into the gums.

We'll see what's hiding in

that sharks mouth of yours!

- Beaver!

- Bucky!

- Bugsy!

- Biter!

The next time your

classmates say that,

you bare your teeth to them.

Take your hand from your mouth.

Bare your teeth and say:

"With these teeth..."

and pause here

for dramatic effect,

then speak clearly so

they'll know you're not joking.

"With these teeth,

if you don't stop, I'll savage

your mothers' hairy sex.

One after the other."

Don't be angry, it's me.

I'd like to stop by

to see the kids.

Really?

Great, thanks.

Be right there.

See?

See where that girl's

back ends?

Just a span from where the curve

of her bottom begins,

her butt, in other words,

that's where your thumb goes,

the other fingers must be

in tension, far from her butt.

It's time for you to learn

to dance the tango.

Just the thumb, remember.

Give your lady the impression

you are a trustworthy partner,

not one of those who seize

the opportunity to touch.

Let's start, slowly.

One, two, three...

Concentrate on the lady.

Half turn.

The idea of the tango

isn't to feel the music.

The idea is to feel the lady.

And above all,

to make her feel you.

Feel the leg?

The leg should go deep,

drives women mad.

One, two...

Legs together, excellent.

Why is it so difficult

to find a mentor?

To stop being children

and become fathers.

I've got homework.

Hi Michela, how are things?

He's got no more teeth.

Were you in a fight?

Did they beat you up?

And you?

It went... like this!

Help! Michela jump on!

- Jump on who?

- On him!

Cinzia.

If you're going to be

an idiot, you can leave.

We were wrestling.

Michela, come here.

Can I see your teeth?

Don't be afraid.

They're very nice.

Good girl.

Go do your homework now.

- What are you doing?

- There's a rat in the house.

- Where'd it come from?

- Give me a hand.

I can't stand rats.

- Is it a big one?

- I don't know.

Why don't you just set out

a trap with cheese?

It's quieter.

What a great idea!

Good thing you showed up.

Just an idea, then if you still

want to tear the house apart...

Why don't you calm down?

You're making me jittery.

- There it is!

- Where?

Are you crazy?

You're completely out of it!

You'll kill me like that.

Cinzia, you're primitive.

You've got a primitive way

of reacting to things.

You're still in the Stone-Age.

Can't make you out!

Anyway Michela needs

an orthodontist.

He wants five million lire

to start, have you got it?

I don't.

- I'll get it.

- What a thoughtful father!

You haven't been around or given

us any money for four months.

I'd keep the children

with me if I could,

don't forget they're my kids too.

The kids belong to who looks after

them, you use them for loneliness.

You show up,

roughhouse around and leave.

You're cheating them.

That's wheedling, not love.

The same thing you did with me.

The run-around!

Don't tell your Mama lies.

I was the last to know about Mara,

when everyone was already talking.

How can you have

so little respect?

- Who the hell are you?

- I was seized by passion!

Something which you evidently

know nothing about.

You are rationality personified.

The groceries,

the house, the rat.

Me, the groceries,

the house, the rat

and you the passion.

His heart was pounding

and he lost himself.

No more house, or kids, or wife,

no more years of sacrifice,

no more promises of eternal love!

Jerk!

You should have

ripped your heart out.

Mara will do to you

what you did to me.

If you make Mama cry,

someone will make you cry too.

Did Mara do this to you?

Get your mouth fixed,

maybe then you'll improve too.

He's a dentist, Lotto,

a friend of mine's brother.

Take care of your own teeth,

I'll see to Michela's.

How many secrets do

the people we live with hide?

What did I hide from Cinzia?

What is Mara hiding from me?

You cant ask others

to be transparent,

if you yourself are not.

Yes, but I...

...don't have a family,

don't have a house, I don't

even have my teeth anymore.

I feel lonely, you know?

You're not the only one.

At least there was you before,

but now?

And I should teach
