The Flesh Page #5

It wouldn't be easy because

I love him so much.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Did you sleep well?

Let me see your nails.

Now, have a bath, then

a good breakfast

and then off to school.

At 1pm, we'll pick you up

with a yellow minibus.

Such a shame you have to go.

We could've spent some time

strolling along.

One word more.. and I'll stay.

And get covered with kisses.

And me?

Stop!

This is our border.

We can't go beyond.

That's enough now.

Isn't Giovanna nice?

She's gone. So?

I see now that you haven't got

a grain of poetry.

I wonder if the pirate flag

is authorized?

Is this the Regional Coastline,

civic number 66?

Yes, sir.

May we come in?

Of course you can.

This house is open.

Open to everyone.

Even to officers of the law.

Very clever.

Are you Mellerio Paolo?

Yes, I am. Why?

You are Mellerio Paolo, aren't you?

And You ask us "why"?

You came here to get

witty with me?

We are here on investigation

at the request of your employer.

You've been absent from work

for 3 months and 5 days

without providing us

with any written evidence.

I don't need to justify myself.

I'm sick. A nervous

depression. Is that enough?

I need a rest period.

Do you know what is it?

Follow the procedure:

Medical certificate.

What procedure?

Chicken, wine, bread.

You are having a picnic?

- Yes.

- And the music as well.

Are you of legal age, miss?

She is of legal age.

She's my mistress.

There's one more thing.

Drop it.

Let him speak.

You wife called this morning.

What does my wife want?

She left you a message.

A message?

Yes, a message.

Here, her exact words:

Giovanni is dead.

He'd been looking for you

for months.

He called you. Cried.

He didn't eat at all.

He died on your sofa.

The one with flowers."

What do you mean?

It's not in the text.

Why did you let him die?

What had he done to you?

I would send you to prison

right away.

What the f*** are you

talking about?

I had no space to keep him.

I've always paid for food.

But that hyena was giving him

the school canteen leftovers.

And she kept the money

to herself.

In summer, she would give him

the hospital leftovers.

I'm going to report her!

I'll kill her!

Your private life is no

concern of ours.

I'll bring you bread and milk,

at least you'll eat that.

No, I don't want to eat!

He died because of me.

It wasn't your fault.

He was old.

He would have turned

Exactly. 7 by 15 makes 105.

He would have been like a

He would have been 105

but he died all alone.

Stop it. It's worse for you

living all alone without him.

Let's make love like

Giovanni used to do.

What was it like?

Poor dog.

I'm coming in!

Poor dog.

A disaster. 3 litres on the floor.

This is an ecological disaster.

Yuk!

Bye, I'm going out.

Where are you going?

You can't leave me alone here.

So, it was you

who unplugged the freezer.

Anyway, I'll be able to

recover it all.

And you aren't moving from here!

You should end up

like Count Ugolino.

If they cut you into pieces

The wind would pick them up

The spiders would

sew on your skin back on.

Take.

She needs affection just like me.

Where are you going?

I'm coming with you.

No, I want to go alone.

Sorry, but tell me at least

where you are going.

I mean, you will go back?

Why shouldn't I?

Faustino? I saw a stork.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

I'll come to say goodbye.

And God's pollen

The smile from God

I found you along the river

while you were playing a gum leaf

You were singing gentle words

Words of love

I tasted your lips

of a red, red honey

I said:

"Give me what you want

And I'll give you what I can."

I've decided to leave.

I saw a stork on the beach.

I'm going with her.

You're going with a stork?

Alright. Where to?

I don't know.

Wherever the stork goes.

You come across as good,

but you're an hyena.

Anyway, wherever I go,

it's there I must go.

Wherever you may go

I'll follow you

You can't.

Why should you come?

You are a liar.

You lied to me.

Little liar.

You told me you had never seen

a stork.

It's not true.

I swear I've never seen

a stork.

You don't love them.

So, you don't love me either.

Sorry but are you a stork?

Mom.

We've been in this house

for months loving each other.

We eat, make love.

All of a sudden, she tells me:

"I'll take a walk along the beach"

She goes back and tells me

she met a stork. A stork!

She has to go with a stork.

How can I understand such

a bizarre behaviour?

It's all quite simple.

Quite simple.

I'm not a stork, mom.

I can't leave the ground.

I will never become a stork.

I can't fly up. Yet, I try.

I do try.

Corpus Domini...

What about me?

Don Guiseppe, what about me?

Because of Paolo's communion

my husband beat me black and blue

and you are refusing

him the host.

Don't get angry, ma'am. A mysterious

force moved my hand away.

We did it.

Under daddy's nose.

We finally did it.

Under daddy's nose.

I'm here.

We have to say bye.

You can't go away

just like that.

True.

I won't leave just like that,

I like making love with you.

So, you aren't leaving?

I'm leaving...

I'm leaving but before that

let's make love.

How clumsy you are.

You're leaving but

we'll always stay together.

Our story will never end.

But I want to make love.

I can't live without you.

I want to make love.

Let me speak. Let me...

What are you doing?

You want to eat me?

Sorry.

Paolo is a bit extreme. I see

now why my hand slipped.

Francesca...

The flat studio offer

is still valid.

I give you the keys.

It's in Tigli Street 19.

- Easy to remember.

- You're generous.

I'm staying here.

I'll take up painting.

My portraits?

Rather still life

or seascapes.

Let's say goodbye here. I don't

feel like getting emotional.

Are you sure you want to leave?

Yes.

You're throwing it in the air,

like that?

We've already said goodbye.

Francesca, come! Look!

Look at the stork.

She came to live with us.

Did you see, liar?

It's the one from yesterday.

She came to take me away.

You can stay too.

Don't you see you're a liar?

I'm not a liar.

I cut off your arm.

I used a very, very

noiseless saw.

You felt no pain.

So I didn't disturb your rest.

I'm coming, I'm coming.

you're such a bore, mom.

Be reasonable.

I wanted to eat her, but couldn't

do it without killing her first.

We have our limits. We are still

unable to make some miracles.

Not a piece of God.

I wanted to eat God whole.

I don't think I'll make it.

I'll get arrested before that.

Believe and you'll be eating.

Stork, I screwed you big time.

Actually, I have to thank you.

Without you

God would already be gone.

Why did you come?

You had never come before,

today you're here?

You made such a mess.

Francesca was happy.

She didn't need you.

It's all your fault, b*tches!
