The Walls of Malapaga

---

Look, Here's food for

two days. I see you later.

Ah, I don't want to

eat. I got a tooth ache.

Listen, I don't have time

to waste. I'll come back later.

Look out, the police

here is always aware.

It's no good to get

offshore empty handed.

- Want one?

- No, no...

Hey, leave the lamp!

I'm here for three

days. I'm getting nuts.

Ok, here you are.

So, what are you gonna do?

You know... I'll disembark.

Are you crazy?

Do you want them to chase you too?

I can't take it anymore, this

tooth ache is making me nuts.

It won't kill you.

I don't want to end in this cellar.

I want to go on shore and

take care of this tooth.

And if you get caught? It's not

the tooth they will take from you...

...But your head.

Don't worry.

It's my head, not yours.

I'm going to Naples.

If you going to the

shore, pay me now.

Don't you trust me?

No, because it's easy to get off...

But you can't come back

without the documents.

First you give me the money,

them I give you the the suitcase.

Keep it for me.

Come here... You're a mess.

You won't get off

looking like this.

Go on, clean it up.

There's some soap there.

Do you know where I

can find a dentist?

Oh, never mind.

I will find one.

Be aware!

Don't talk much.

Excuse me, do you know

where I can find a dentist?

A dentist!

The best there is. I

give you a piece of it.

Cool down. Thats a Palmolive soap.

- Pardon, I'm not from here.

- Do you want to eat?

Enter, there's fresh fish.

No, no eating. A dentist,

I have a tooth ache.

Oh... A Dentist! He's

looking for a dentist.

He's French.

There's a good one on that

street, on Corbetta Square.

On Corbetta they

really get it done.

It's better to go to Doctor

Benetti, on So Bernado Street.

It will be cheaper, I know him.

You shut up, understand? I

know what I'm talking about.

Trust me. You go straight

forward, then turn left...

...Then turn right.

You'll find a big sign.

You can't go wrong.

- Poor thing. He's got a tooth ache.

- Yeah, I know.

Take the Mister to Dr.

Benetti, on So Bernardo.

- She will lead you.

- Merci.

- I speak French, too.

- Hmm...

I'm from Nice.

- Is it far away?

- No, It's right there.

We'll soon get there.

The tooth ache is just like

being in love, isn't it?

Yeah, just look at my face.

Sir, you speak French, don't

you? I got you a good offer.

Look here... Leather.

I brought it from Rhodes.

Look, It's strong... Strong.

It's good to make shoes.

I need to sell it tonight.

I can't take aboard. I don't

know what my captain will do.

Leave me alone, go away.

I beg of you, make a good offer.

How long will you take...

Go away, can't you see

he's got a tooth ache?

Here it is. It's

on the third floor.

- Hey, mister...

- Sh*t! Leave me alone!

Do you want to

exchange some francs?

I can exchange some francs.

Hmm?

So...

- 1100 per 2000 Liras.

- How much?

Take care. Hey... Go there.

- Say, How much?

- 1100 for 2000 Liras, official exchange.

- Official or not, I ain't got any choice.

- Here you are.

Well, farewell, monsieur. Bye.

I wait for you here.

Take a seat, please.

I beg you to be quick,

it's very painful.

- You're not from Genoa, are you?

- The only thing I care is the tooth ache.

- Excuse me.

- Oh...

Open your mouth, please.

Will have to take it off.

But I got to sterilize

the instruments first.

Yeah... First...

Without the anesthesia, It will be

450 liras... Otherwise, 800 liras.

Look, get this

f***ing chloroform...

...That I'm in a

hurry. I got the money.

There! Get it!

- It's not the right moment.

- Get it!

I'm sorry but this is false.

- Oh, sh*t!

- It's common. Got another?

Yes, but I think it's her sister.

Yes, it is. I'm sorry.

You won't let me

in this condition...

- I've got francs, are there any good?

- Yes, but at the official exchange!

Lost it?

Do you want to here a

good news? I've got robbed.

But you're gonna get it

off anyway... And now.

But, sir...

I'm gonna spend the night in a place

where I can't have a tooth ache.

- It's not good anywhere.

- Especially in jail.

- What?

- Yeah, in Jail. Go ahead, you can't say no.

So, without anesthesia.

It would have been

better with anesthesia...

Ah, what a relief!

And now, Are you

really going to jail?

Ah...

It's better when you

have someone like that!

Here. For tonight. When you

feel the pain you'll be in jail.

Thank you doctor.

Now I can really eat.

- I'm sorry but the lunch...

- I don't meant this way.

In prison, they'll give you food.

Oh... You're very good, sir.

And remember, don't chew

too much on the left side.

So... Farewell and good luck.

- Still here?

- I've been waiting for you.

Waiting for me... Hmmm...

That man that exchanged the

money for me, do you know him?

No.

He stole my wallet and

gave me two false bills.

- You don't have any money?

- No. And one tooth less.

So, go to the police.

It's a good idea...

- Do you know where is the police station?

- Yes, it's near here.

I'm hungry.

But without any money,

what are you gonna do?

I got to eat for free.

Here we are.

This is the police Station?

Yes, on the first floor.

I'm going up, You stay here.

Aren't you gonna need me anymore?

No, I won't.

Goodbye, girl. Tell

me, what's your name?

Cecchina.

And you?

Pierre.

Nice name... Pierre.

- Original, hmm?

- But you'll be coming down soon?

Yeah, but I won't be alone.

Well, go now. Goodbye.

Hello!

Hello?

Good morning.

What do you want?

Well, I'm in a hurry. Does anyone

speaks french?

- What?

- Can I talk to someone?

Are you french?

The commissioner speaks french.

Hello.

I can talk to any police officer.

The commissioner will

soon be here. Just wait.

He hasn't arrive yet. Seat there.

Hello.

Hello!

You may come in.

Come in!

Thank you. Where can I put it?

Here.

He is being questioned.

No wine. No knife.

OK.

In France they don't

like knifes, either.

- French?

- Hmm.

These things interfere

with my appetite.

Mine is going to be

hard to take it off.

Do you like Italian food?

I answer you later... Or never.

You will never know

if I like Italian food.

Are you a good cook?

Experienced. It's near by.

No, not for me. For me it's

like the end of the world.

No, is the restaurant

here at your right.

Sh*t.

This conversation

is making me hungry.

And if I went to the restaurant?

I ain't got any

money, but who cares?

Cecchina! What are you doing here?

Go home, quickly.

Common.

- See? Made me hungry.

- It's a pleasure.

Don't say this too soon.

Good morning, Marta.

I thought we were finished.

You know how hard it is.

- Oh, look who is here...

- Cecchina, look out! Run!

Run!

Thanks. Without you, she

would have been caught.

- Who is that?

- My husband.

- You don't get along well, it seems.

- No.

It's a pity.

- The fruit, Madam, please.

- Ok, I'll bring it.

- A Glass.

- Yes, I'll bring it too.

It's my daughter. He wants to take

her away, but he will not succeed.

- Ah, Are you the mother of that child?
