The New Monsters Page #5

An autographed picture. An offering

While the boat floats, let it go

While the boat floats, don't row

What's that? What's that?

No, no, no. It's murky!

It's very murky, it's not

the same voice as before!

There's nothing to be done

That butcher of a surgeon

recommended we not operate

The butcher didn't want to operate

He didn't realize what we all have to risk

What will we say in time?

That's how god wanted it!

No one has any pity for our profession

If a soccer player breaks

his leg and plays like sh*t...

the public doesn't mind and applaudes anway

But a singer, once she

loses her voice, is worthless

Thank you, I ask my public to forgive me....

but I still haven't recovered from my accident

And that's why my voice is so weak

The grasshopper saw the ant one day...

Look what it says: "Fiorella,

to save a child,

fractures her legs."

Subtext:
"The singer refuses all publicity"

She threw herself under a car to save him

Fiorella, you saved a child

like Giuseppe Garibaldi

You're Beethoven's Heroica!

You're a great woman Fiorella!

When love arrives,

the bell will ring.

LIKE A QUEEN:

It's been so long since

we went out together, eh?

We're together today, are you happy?

Is this car new?

No, I've had it two years now

Then it must be two years since we went out

Mother, would you like a

coffee and cream ice cream?

I'd like it, but I wouldn't

be able to sleep afterwards

Remember when I took you to the gardens?

Of course I remember

One time you got lost and I worried so much

How could I not get lost? You were

always talking to your girlfriends

You didn't pay any attention to me. You did

to Sandro, he was always mommy's favorite

You were both the same to me,

I didn't have any favorites

- Equals, you say?

Yes, yes, equals

You're always looking at your

watch, is it getting late for you?

- No

- Oh, no?

This day is all yours. Eat

- So many trees!

- Yes

- So many!

- That's what I said, this is a paradise

Look. Smell the air

Better than at home

What is this? Where are you taking me?

Nothing. Where am I taking

you? To see a lovely place

I was on the way and I said

"Let's go see what it is!"

Have a look is free, right?

What are we going to see?

What are we going to see? Look!

Have you ever seen a place like this?

One gets tired of being at home

and comes to this great hotel

Free, calm, independant

Let's get off

Come on, off!

Come mother

Come, hug me, like that. Let's fly!

Are you happy?

Look mother

Look at that park. See how big

it is. It gets lost in the horizon

Where can you find this horizon in the city?

I'm alright with you and Patrizia too

We are too. Come on mother,

see what a palace this is

They say that it's wonderful inside

All very antique, come visit it mother

- This is the chapel

- A private chapel!

Like in a noble's house

What mother? You don't ask for the

Virgin's blessing? Little Virgin

Give me your blessing

This is the infirmary,

there are four doctors...

that alternate 24 hours a day

- Did you see the help?

- I'm alright

I know you're alright. What's that old saying?

"A doctor on hand, trouble won't land"

The single bed rooms are all taken

That's a good thing, this way

you'll have someone to talk to

Hello madam

The lady is mute, it's a nervous problem

Yes, I understand. Poor thing

It's alright. Mother is deaf

- I'm deaf?

- Instead of talking to someone...

who never shuts up, now

you'll be able to speak

- To myself?

- To yourself

It's like at home, nothing changes

- Is this the bathroom?

- No, the closet

The bathroom is in the hall, it's a common one

Very good, at least you'll get to talk,

it's not good always driving everywhere

Look at me, 50 and I'm already all rusty

Very well sister

Come mother

Do you like it? What are you doing? Singing?

Mother also knows it. That's good

Lovely voice, eh?

This is the games room

The dining room and the television

- Is it a color one?

- No

That's better, it's bad for your eyesight

It's been a month since it worked

If it's been a month, forget about it

There's the kitchen

What a smell! They told me

the kitchen here was great

- What is there today?

- Bread and cheese

- The lady is quite talkative

- Yes, quite

Excuse me sister

Perhaps it's just a rumor,

I don't believe it but...

...is it true they get beaten?

- You're kidding?

Us? Never! Sometimes, if

they throw a tantrum...

- Yes, of course

...a little slap, like this

Of course, just slow down with those hands

You're already getting used to it!

Very good. What are you talking about?

She wanted a token for the telephone because

she says they don't let her make calls

Can't you see she's joking?

She's pulling your leg

I'll ask her. Mrs Liberata,

may I make a phone call?

- Of course, come here

- You see? Wait here

I'll be right back, don't move

- Please

- Thank you sister

Hello? Hello Patrizia

- Want some? Please

- No thank you sister

No, it's the nun. Yes, we're here

How is it? Um...

How is it?

Patrizia...

You know what I think?

Listen...

I'll almost take her back home

Doctor! Doctor!

Excuse me sister

Mother?

My mother?

- You lost her?

- Yes

There she is. Damn it

Mother! Mother!

You were here? Why'd you go out?

- I told you not to move

- Why did you bring me here?

- Where?

- To the asylum

- The asylum?

- Yes

You frustrate me so easily!

- What does the asylum have to do with it?

- Don't get upset

Mother, we're doing it for you.

For your health. For your well being

Looked after, cared for. Do you

think they do all this for free?

Don't get upset, it's bad for mother

Why do you always get upset?

Who's upset? I'm laughing.

You laugh too mother

We're three little pigs,

we're three brothers

and no one seperates us

- Remember mother?

- I remember

When do you want to bring me?

Eh? When will we bring you?

Anyway, on Thursday

Patrizia and I have to go to Cetona,

the Cruscittis made a country home and...

- Are they fun?

- No, they aren't. I don't know why I'm going

And Patrizia took a month's vacation

The maid left and there's no one

What do you do all alone at home?

What I always do. I've done it many times

That's alright, but I'm always

thinking that you're not a girl anymore

I'm your son, I have the responsability

not like that favorite of

yours to whom you don't matter

No. To me you were both the same

Yes, but it wasn't like that

So you're bringing me Thursday?

Thursday you say? As you wish

What are we doing? We go,

we come, forwards, backwards

Now that we're here

But I didn't bring anything.

I don't have anything

No! You have everything.

You have everything mother

Look! Look what Patrizia prepared for you

Look at that suitcase. She had

a feeling you'd want to stay

She prepared everything, like a daughter.

You always underestimated her,

always treated her like a stranger

- I like Patrizia very much

- She's the one who likes you!

More than her German mother!
