The Solitude of Prime Numbers Page #3

- It's too foggy.

- No, the sun is blazing.

- Everyone is waiting for you.

- I don't want to go.

- It's starting to snow.

- Let me handle her.

- A puzzle?

- Yes.

- Drink your milk before we leave.

- I don't want to.

Drink your milk.

- It's too foggy out.

- Listen...

- I don't think Riccardo will like it.

- Everyone likes puzzles.

It's an educational toy.

- Is Michela ready?

- Almost.

Dad is dressing her.

Mom?

Does...

Michela...

really have to go

to the party with me?

Michela will go to the party.

- It's starting to snow!

- Who cares!

Her friends are waiting for her.

My daughter will not be absent!

I'll drive her.

Then if you're up to it...

we'll meet later. Okay?

If not, stay in bed

and stare at the walls.

- I need to use the bathroom.

- What?

No, you had plenty of time before!

Hold it.

- I'll be quick.

- No! N-O!

Move it!

- Are we late?

- We're only 5 minutes late.

I'll go get the door.

Hello, ma'am.

Sorry, I can't offer you my hand

with this box...

I'm preparing the kids for a party.

This fur is lovely!

Do you wear it often?

I've made something for you.

Let me show you.

Hold this. Listen, honey,

make sure you thank

Riccardo's parents.

And look after your sister,

don't let her eat junk food.

Bye honey. Bye duckling.

Have fun, my darling.

Can you drop off

De Andreis' fur on Via Po?

- Bye.

- See you later.

Come in, ma'am.

Come on, Michela!

Wait for me!

I'll be gone for 30 minutes,

stay here.

Stay here.

Michela, understand?

Michela, look at me!

I'll be gone for 30 minutes.

Michela!

Stay here, okay?

Do not move for any reason.

Understand?

I'll be gone for 30 minutes,

stay here.

Stay here.

Don't move.

- RICCARDO'S PARTY -

- Hi, who are you?

- Mattia.

Hello, where's your sister?

- She has a fever.

- Too bad! Come in!

Riccardo, Mattia's here.

Hi!

Where should I put this?

- What is it?

- A puzzle.

Now I'll transform them

into chickens!

Who wants to play blind man's buff?

Pay attention now,

you need to form two teams.

Boys to the right,

girls to the left.

Two teams.

Come on, everybody over here.

- Who wants to play blind man's buff?

- Me!

- You sure?

- Me!

Whoever tickles me most

will be captain!

Yes!

It stopped.

I'm going to Germany.

Maybe.

It's freezing up there.

Right?

Dunno.

- I think it is.

- Do you?

To do my PhD,

they offered me a spot.

They have the best structures,

the best research centers.

Everyone wants you.

Only there.

They just need to know

where you're hiding.

Here.

In a car.

How long will you be away?

For 3 years.

No, it's just 3 years.

Don't say "just",

because you don't know what it means.

What'll I do without you?

Don't laugh.

I'm serious.

I'll be bored to death.

Even if...

#When you're in view

I try not to see you.#

#When you come into view

I close my eyes to not see you.#

What'll I do without you?

Tonight's your big night,

make a move on that boy you like.

- His friend is glued to him.

- Who cares! I'll take care of him.

What'll I do

when I'm alone with him?

What do you mean?

- What do I do?

- You kiss him!

- I make the first move?

- Of course.

Can you show me how to do it again?

You liked it, didn't you?

- What are you doing?

- We have to pee too!

Look at my face!

- Stick with me.

- Okay. - Come on, let's go.

- Your sister?

- In the bathroom.

- Hi!

- Hi!

- How are you?

- Fine.

Like the party?

Loud music gives me a headache.

And you?

It doesn't give me a headache.

Hey, listen...

Come with me over there.

- Where?

- Over there.

Okay.

Where are you going?

Sit down.

- How's your hand?

- Fine.

It's bandaged.

- I have a scar.

- I have one too.

Look.

That's huge.

What happened?

I had an accident.

How?

I was skiing.

- Did it hurt?

- Kind of.

I hear you're a genius.

A genius...

Dunno.

You like studying?

It's all I know how to do.

And me?

- You like me?

- Dunno.

- I never thought about it.

- You shouldn't have to think.

If I don't think, I get lost.

How long was the operation?

- What operation?

- Your leg operation.

Dunno.

I don't remember.

Listen,

I was thinking you and I,

you know...

Do you like me?

I mean... want to kiss me?

Lots of doctors in the OR?

I think so.

So, I was saying,

would you like to kiss me?

I'd like to get up.

You don't like me at all?

Will you sit down a second?

Here I am.

Promise not to tell anyone.

What?

That we didn't kiss.

Okay, I promise.

Prime numbers can be divided

only by themselves and by 1 .

They're special numbers,

suspicious and solitary.

Some prime numbers

are even more special:

they're called "twin primes,"

a pair of prime numbers

that only differ by two,

like 1 1 and 13 or 17 and 19.

But twin primes never touch

because they're always separated

by an even number.

Now have fun and dance!

I'm going.

You'll never guess what happened!

I don't care!

- You don't care?

- I don't care!

- I want to tell you about it.

- Go away, dummy!

- What's wrong?

- I said I don't care!

Viola!

I got a tattoo!

Want to see it?

- Look!

- Stop it!

I want to talk.

Gimpy's deaf too.

I got a tattoo, look.

- Viola, I got a tattoo!

- Will you leave me alone?

Gimpy fell down!

- Come with me.

- Seen Dennis?

- No, come with me.

- Where?

Help me remove it.

Please.

I can't do it.

I never want to see it again.

- Do we know each other?

- Yes.

I saw you photographing your mom

in the hospital.

I'm a doctor.

My name's Fabio.

Alice.

Bye.

Little Red Riding Hood,

Little Red Riding Hood...

Don't walk alone in the dark.

Never trust a stranger

who approaches you with kindness.

Beauty

does not accompany wisdom.

The wolf takes on

the strangest forms of life.

But never,

never will it reveal its real intent.

Remember,

the sweeter the tongue,

the sharper the teeth.

I have to go.

- Leaving?

- I have to go.

But we're about to have the cake.

- My dad's outside waiting.

- Okay, Riccardo show him out.

I have to blow out the candles.

Here you are!

I searched all over for you.

Let's go inside.

- Sit down.

- I have to work, let's go inside.

Please sit down.

What is it?

Mattia, what is it?

What is it? Tell me.

I was 8.

So was Michela.

She was my twin sister.

Michi!

Michela!

Michi!

Michela!

I've never told anyone.

Miss, I was looking for you,

it's time to cut the cake,

they're waiting for you to start.

Kiss, kiss, kiss!

- SEVEN YEARS LATER -

You've reached Alice and Fabio,

we're not home

so leave a message after the beep.

Alice, are you there?

I found a place to live.

It's a one-bedroom.

It's kind of dingy,

but better than a boarding house.

I need to come by

and pick up some things.

And you? Are you okay?

Yes.

Are you eating?

I eat.

I'm a bit concerned, as usual.

I eat and I'm fine.

At times it doesn't seem real. I...

Under the table.

Where are you? Alice, come out.

Find it?

Alice, it's Fabio, are you here?

She's dead! She's dead!

She's dead!

Are you Michela?
