I asked why. You said,

you come back with gifts.

Did you say that or not?

I asked you:
"Do you swear it?"

And you said:
"I swear it."

Did you say that or not?

Did you say it?

I was waiting for you! Speak!

Speech, you wanker! Speak!

- Speak, Lefteris, so that it is over!

- Speak!

- Say Yes!

- Yes. Yes. Yes.

And why did you never come back?

- Dany back.

- It is enough.

It's over.

It's over. Do you understand me?

So ...

I will give you all the cash,

what I have here.

Then you go, all right?

And tomorrow we'll meet for the rest.

Recognition, DNA test ...

I will not be recognized by you.

Me neither. I want you

never see again, fascist pig!

Stop. Go.

My bag.

Go now. Upwards.

Thank you, Dad!

Real cool house.

Goodbye, Ms Vivi.

Best wishes to the little ones.

Before you came, I was

not sure it's him.

- What are you doing there?

- Dany, stop.

It is enough.

Come on. Come on.

He was it, right?

Probably.

- Was it him or not?

- Who cares it? Dany, let it be good.

- He was an idiot definitely.

- Yes.

Damn,

not a single damn taxi.

And nowhere a kiosk. For no money

of the world I would live here.

- Maria is waiting for me.

- Then call her, fool.

It's all right. Where are you?

We'll be there in 20 minutes. Bye Bye.

- I'm not getting with you.

- Why not?

Must do something.

So what? Are you next?

Probably not,

as I ran away like a madman.

But I was good, wasn't I?

Are you kidding?

You were absolutely awesome!

Next month is the casting

for "Greece's Supertalent".

We are taking part.

- Isn't that a stand?

- Where?

Come on, come on!

The last one is a loser!

- First.

- Second.

Thank You.

Riccardo.

Get cigarettes and please

the white mint chewing-gums, okay?

Thank You.

Hello. Hello my dear.

- Look!

- What?

Damn.

- Run!

- Where?

Damn!

- What is now happening again?

- Have you not seen her?

- Who?

- In the car!

- Who was that?

- It was Patty Pravo!

- Stop this nonsense.

- She was there, I swear.

Yes, certainly.

She even talked to me.

- Patty Pravo?

- Yes!

And what did she say?

She said:
"Ciao."

"Ciao" ... something.

The goddess!

Oh, Dany,

you'll never grow up.

You and your imagination.
