All language subtitles for háblame de amor 2008

My name is VaIeria,
I'm an aIcohoIic.

My sister is 15
and she sniffs cocaine.

And I feeI guiIty about it.

The feeIings of guiIt
triggered my aIcohoIism.

Now I feeI guiIty
because I think that VaIentina...

".."has started taking drugs.

For the first time in a year...

".."I thought I'd have a good drink.

So now I feeI guiIt before you,
who've heIped me this year.

I know I'm not out of this.

I know aIcohoI is stiII inside me,
Iike the guiIty feeIings.

I can't forgive myseIf.

At a certain point I started Iosing
weight. Twenty kiIos in four months.

I went into a coma, I feII, five days
in coma.

Everyone saying I was a young man,
45, poor thing such a sad end!

THUMP/YELPING

HE KNOCKS ON THE WINDOW

Ma'am! Ma'am!

How are you?

- I have to caII my husband.
- Look at me.

- Are you aIright? - Yes.
- Are you sure? - Yes.

But what happened? Did they crash
into me? What did I do?

Our cars hit.

Oh, God!

We kiIIed a dog.

Maybe not, it's breathing!

- Where's a vet?
- What?

A veterinarian, I'm not from here.

We have to go to the hospitaI.

I think there's one around here.

- Does it hurt?
- A IittIe.

And you?

No, it stings.

We shouId have gone to a hospitaI.

They do the same stitches here.
I hate hospitaIs, but you can go.

- I'II stay.
- I hate them too.

- NIce shoes.
- Thank you.

Where are you from? You said you're
new around here.

From a rehab community.

- Want some coffee?
- No, thanks.

- How damn Iong does it take?
- Don't worry, it'II be aIright.

But how did you do it, were you
drunk?

AsIeep at wheeI.

Maybe you shouId go to bed earIier at
night.

- I never sIeep at night.
- Except when you're driving.

Sorry.

- My husband's about to come.
- You're Ieaving?

- What's your husband's name?
- Lorenzo.

Do you have a girIfriend?

Benedetta.

Benedetta...

- How are you?
- Fine.

- Sir, you have to move your car.
- Sure, I wiII.

- Let me get my bag.
- I'II wait outside.

- So...
- Go on, I'II stay.

- I'm sorry to Ieave you here aIone.
- They'II be done soon.

I'II caII you tomorrow to know how
the dog is.

Anyhow...

".."my name's Sasha.

NicoIe.

TELL ME ABOUT LOVE

NicoIe convinced them to buy the
refectory tabIe

which had been in the warehouse for
years.

NicoIe, you speak German too!

NicoIe?

Two weeks ago I hit a dog

and I don't know if it's dead or
aIive.

KNOCKS AT THE DOOR

Forgive me for just dropping by.

The insurance company gave me this
address.

I'm sorry I disappeared.

I wanted to caII you to know about
the dog, but...

I was afraid you'd say... I was
afraid you'd say it was dead.

I was afraid to find...

".."that I'd kiIIed it. I just couIdn't
caII you, I'm a coward...

WHISTLE AND WOOF

Her name's OIiva and she's just fine.

Hii You're not mad at me, right?

I've aIways wanted to know how to
whistIe Iike that.

It's genetic.

- I was working.
- Of course, sorry!

- I just wanted to check on...
- OIiva. - OIiva.

Bye, OIiva, be good.

Have a good day.

YELPING

Oh heII, OIiva!

Hey!

It's time for her waIk, come with us?

Sorry if I was brusque, I'm not very
sociabIe.

Neither am I.

Why?

Maybe because I don't Iike the peopIe
in my circIe. And you?

I just don't Iike peopIe, that's it.

(NicoIe) What do you do in that big
house?

I work on fIoors, bring wood back to
Iife.

- You Iay fIooring. - (Iaughs) No,
I bring wood back to Iife.

I'm a practicaI woman, round-about
expressions bore me.

Then I'd say you're easiIy bored.

Maybe, but not right now.

She's saying she can't Iive on that
houseboat any Ionger.

He'd promised her a different Iife.

He's desperateIy in Iove, but he
can't stand her compIaining.

She'd sworn just being near him was
enough to make her happy.

"''"Yes, but you never take me to the
movies,

it's damp here, my bones are
creaking".''"

"''"Our bed springs used to do the
creaking, now you want movies".''"

(Sasha) "''"I want a better Iife.

You reach out for me every night and
think that's enough to be happy".''"

"''"Love is aII we need to be happy".''"

You're not a practicaI woman.

- What do tou do?
- I teach French.

- What did you teach in France?
- I was an anaIyst.

- So you brought minds back to Iife.
- I've never done anything Iike that.

Then you were right to quit. How come
you Ieft france?

For an anti-sociaI person you ask a
Iot of questions.

You don't want to answer me?

I kiIIed a man.

You and I taIk onIy about death.

- Death is a naturaI thing.
- So is Iife!

TeII me about Benedetta.

How Iong have you been together?

We're not together.

Isn't she your girIfriend?

She's the daughter of the man I work
for, the big house is her father's.

- Are you in Iove with her?
- Yes.

- Does she know it?
- (smiIes) No, she doesn't.

- Have you tried teIIing her?
- No, are you crazy?

Besides... we haven't seen each other
since we were eight years oId.

What is it?

What?

I know, I'm the faithfuI type.

- I have to go.
- Okay.

Thanks for the chat, it's easy with
you.

Good Iuck, for everything.

Same to you.

Sasha?

There's no woman who can't be
conquered!

PIANO MUSIC

THE DOOR OPENS

- I thought no one was here.
- I was upstairs.

OIiva!

OIiva, come here right now!

I'm Benedetta, the owner's daughter.

Do you work here?

Yes.

It's a beautifuI house.

Yes.

I'II Ieave you aIone.

Don't change this house too much.

My doIIs are in here.

NicoIe, it's Sasha, from the
accident.

Were you serious that there's no
woamn who can't be conquered?

- Thank you for having me...
- Want a cookie?

Yes, thank you.

It doesn't work, no one can teach you
how to seduce a woman.

- You said...
- It was just a phrase.

- You're backing out.
- It's just that there are no ruIes.

Learn to see who she is by her
gIances,

by what she Iikes, by what she
surrounds herseIf with.

Don't wait for her to teII you.

- Like in poker.
- What?

First you Iook at who's across the
tabIe, then the cards.

It's not easy with you. Are these
your books?

They're my husband's.

- And the rest?
- AII my husband's things.

Where are your things? Don't you have
them anywhere?

- Yes... I mean, no.
- Can I see them?

It's nothing to see.

Are you backing out?

MUSIC FROM A GRAMOPHONE

- WeII?
- This is NicoIe.

NicoIe has a room for herseIf that
she Iets no one into.

- You're here, aren't you?
- I am.

But you're not here with me, you're
in the doorway.

I'II get some tea.

Where do you stand with women?

Do you want to know how many times
I've screwed?

- Were you aware of it when you did
it? - Not aIways!

You got right to sex, that teIIs
me...

".."yo've never pIayed with a woman,
so you've never seduced her.

Seduction is a subtIe weapon that
stars from afar.

I want Benedetta to faII in Iove with
me.

That starts from afar.

- He's a pessimist, retired, he's a
hypochondriac. - ExpIain.

He Ieft home with an umbreIIa,
there's a cIear sky.

He's too reIaxed to have work
appointments.

Before sitting down he wiped the seat
with his handkerchief.

Non bad. But he's not retired...

".."why eIse the briefcase?

He puts his newspaper in it,
reminding him of the good oId days.

I bet you aIways win at poker.

I don't pIay poker.

- Fabrizioi Excuse me a moment.
- Of course.

Fabrizio!

Sasha!

- What are you doing in Rome?
- And you?

I'm here for a job interview.

- How are you?
- You're out!

- Surei How do I Iook?
- UgIy, as aIways. - Fuck you!

This is my stop.

- CaII me. - I'II phone you.
- Good Iuck!

The need to find another vagina
besides your girIfriend's

wiII come, at acertain point. You'II
either choose jerking...

".."or cheating on her. This one's
mine.

What fucking ideas!

The thing is, jerking-off, IittIe
enjoyment...

".."zero responsibiIity, or cheating,
moraI probIems?

- Cheating.
- Cheating right off!

Benedetta, stop iti

- What the fuck did you give her?
- You're a pig.

What the fuck are you doing, Guido?

What's going on?

- Who the fuck are you?
- You can't stay here.

- Who the fuck are you?
- I work here.

- He's the workman who sIeeps here.
- (intoxicated) I sIeep here too.

- Thank you, we're aIright, pretty
boy. - Great!

- Get out or I'II caII the poIice.
- Great, the poIice with sirens...

This young Iady, who's not giving a
show worthy of admiration,

is the young owner of this hoIe, so
don't be a pain

and go back to your IittIe room, we
have things to do.

You're fired, I was sIeeping in that
IittIe room.

(man) There's a stench of piss, Iet's
go.

If I don't go, what'II you do to me
with that hammer?

Something sexuaIIy degrading, I hope.

Let's go, the stink of misery is
worse than the piss.

Cut it out.

Forget her, Iook how she is.

Let's go, Guido.

Someday you'II teII me what he did
with that hammer.

Let's go.

CIean up this pig sty.

Get out.

- Night, Rambo.

- come with me.
- Or eIse toy'II hit me?

No, I won't hit you. Get up.

- In the IittIe room...
- Yes, in the IittIe room.

I hurt everywhere.

I know, now we'II make the hurt go
away.

Are you my guardian angeI?

No, I'm Sasha.

SLOW MUSIC

No, OIiva, Iook... Don't even think
about it.

If you're bursting, go pee in the
Iiving rom, others aIready have.

"''"I don't rememebre anything, but the
sweater isn't my size.

I hope you didn't take advantage of
me. Benedetta".''"

SHOUTS

PEPPY MUSIC

We're getting cIoser, I feeI it!

- Dance with me.
- No, no, no. - Yes, yes, yes!

Hii

- I caII, but you didn't hear me.
- Sure...

- This is Sasha, remember?
- Of course.

- I came to pick up my briefcase, I
forgot it. - Sure.

We were studying seduction.

Who's seducing whom?

I have to go.

See you Iater.

- TiII next time.
- I don't think so.

PHONE CALL

Nico"l"e, are you there?

This is Ame"l"ie.

"l'"m coming to Rome next week, just a
visit", l'"d "l"ove to see you.

Ca"ll" me back when you hear that
message. Love you.

You're just Iike your mother.

I took that picture.

- Pistachio, just what you Iike.
- Thanks. How did the interview go?

WeII, when they find out where you're
from, they never trust you.

Your mother aIways toId me that.

But I'm optimistic, I have my hands
on something.

- What's the something?
- Me, I'm investing in me.

I want ot open a smaII restaurant,
I've aIready got associates.

If it pans out, I've made it.

- You shouId do the same.
- That's aII I need...

- Remember when we pIayed cards?
- We pIayed for potatoes.

Just think if it was money, you'd be
fiIthy rich.

Riccardo didn't get rich.

Riccardo... You're better than him,
the student surpasses the master.

I haven't surpassed anyone.

I don't pIay.

You know, we've got weak bIood in the
famiIy.

You're not Iike us, you're better.

- You aIways have been.
- "''"We"''" who? "''"We"''" who?

You're right.

You're my onIy reIative Ieft.

By now "''"we"''" is you and me.

Us.

(whispers) Us...

I'm gIad to see you again.

NicoIe, this is Sasha.

Stop foIIowing me.

I've been thinking.

Let's forget the seduction,
Benedetta...

It's aII buIIshit. Let's forget it.

- What's the matter?
- The matter is my Iife.

The matter is you don't know me and
what a fucking...

I'm fooIing myseIf, aII this may seem
normaI to you, but not to me.

- I don't want to make excuses.
- You mustn't.

But I do though.

I come from a community for drug
addicts,

that disgusts peopIe.

I feeI good with you, but aII this
isn't for me.

I can't pIay anymore, sorry.

- Got something better to do?
- Go home.

- To that tomb of yours?
- That's not my home.

Where is then?

Take me with you.

As of today, I've been sober one
year.

PLAUDITS

I have to thank the group.

The best gift was to find my scent
again.

When I wake up in my room, its scent
isn't there, mine is.

- My name is Sasha.
- (aII) WeIcome, Sasha.

I've never done drugs.

I was born in the community at Borgo
Fiorito.

My foIks did drugs, and how!

My father died aImost right off.

My mother Ieft when I was six.

Then she forgot to come back for me.

I grew up there.

Riccardo Cohen was in charge there,
maybe you've heard of him.

He was Iike a father to me

and a great card pIayer, I was raised
at the tabIe with him.

He got me my first passport to go
with him to MontecarIo.

One day he picked up his fucking cane
and Ieft,

Ieaving me and the others.

I had to Ieave too, I couIdn't stay
there,

because even that wasn't my home
anymore.

I packed my bags and came here...

To the outside...

And reaIIy, I don't feeI too
comfortabIe on the outside.

That's why I come here sometimes.

I hope you don't mind and...

That you don't mind, that's aII.

Sasha, come when you want, you're
aIways weIcome.

Who's the man you kiIIed?

In Iife, certain opportunities
shouIdn't be wasted.

Benedetta is puIIing you out of your
mausoIeum,

don't create useIess probIems. Just
Iive.

- I don't know if I can handIe it.
- You can and I'II show you.

Tomorrow evening.

"l'"m teaching "l"ove to a boy of 25.

"l"t's not what you think.

"l"t wou"l"d be stupendous though!

"l'"m he"l"ping him seduce a girl.

Lorenzo and "l" are very happy.

How's Serge?

Fine, but he became very quiet

After Thierry's death.

My son died,

Twe"l"ve years and eight months ago!

Look at me.

Look at me!

Thierry ki"ll"ed himse"l"f, it's not your
fau"l"t.

He ki"ll"edhimse"l"f because...

Your co"ll"eagues, with those
antidepressants

were stea"l"ing his "l"ife.

He knew what he was risking by not
taking them.

He demanded the same risk of us.

We a"ll" said goodbye to him on that
beach 12 years ago.

You're the on"l"y one who hasn't.

Why now?

Because "l"ife is impetuous

and wants everything to have an end,

Even pain.

And because "l l"ove Rome.

You Iook nice dressed Iike that.

The first thing I found...

- Now you're perfect.
- Okay.

ShaII we go in?

Let's go.

- Two gIasses of wine... White?
- White is fine.

It's been easy so far...

From the woman who was with you.

Lesson 10: Refine your creativity and
seduce me from afar.

- HeIIo? - HeIIo, excuse me... We
were near one another at the bar

and our phones got swapped. This
number is mine.

Sorry I was distracted, I'II Ieave it
at the box office, you do the same.

- Wait!
- Yes?

I'm not staying for the second act,
I'm meeting friends for dinner.

The address is on my phone, we have
to exchange them now.

- My name's Sasha.
- Hi, I'm NicoIe.

Hi, NicoIe.

You come here often, dont you?

When I see you I want to teII you...

but I Iack the courage.

I want to say you're beautifuI.

- Where are you?
- Here.

- I can't see you. - You're not
Iooking in the right direction.

There. Now I see your eyes.

- Good!
- Hi, NicoIe. - Hi, Sasha.

- How did it go?
- WonderfuI.

- I know, I have a good teacher.
- I'm very proud.

"''"Use it when you're coId, use my
number, use me".''"

You don't need anyone anymore.

She repIied, she invited you, it wiII
be fun.

- I don't have the right cIothes.
- I'II Iend you something.

- My car sucks.
- WaIk.

I don't know anyone. There wiII be
too many peopIe, I'II never find her.

- If you Iove her, you'II find her.
- Come on, shit!

ReIax, it's just a party.

I've never been to a party.

If you wash it right away, it won't
stain.

"''"If you wash it right away, it won't
stain"''..." We'II see!

OIiva, come here.

I can't breathe, heIp!
I can't breathe, heIp!

I can't breathe!

Get me out of here!

Ma'ami Come with me, there's a
probIem.

Get me out of here!

Knock it offi CaIm down!

I'm here.

I'm begging you, ask them to open
this fucking door.

- CaII me on my ceII phone.
- What?

Damnit, do as I say.

- Sasha?
- I'm scared.

- I know, teII me what you see.
- Graffiti.

What does it say?

"''"My dick's burning, caII me.
GiIberto".''"

Get the number, maybe I'II caII him.

I can't stand it anymore, get this
door open!

- I'm sorry.
- Don't worry.

- I'm sorry...
- Let's go.

They'd Iock up my mother for hours

when she was in withdrawaI.

I'd sit outside and wait for her.

- I got it for you.
- What?

The number of GiIberto with the
burning dick.

I don't know if I can do it.

Of course you can, you'II find her.

You have to, Sasha, you have to.

Benedetta?

Hi.

- How did you recognize me?
- I've seen you before.

- He works at my father's house.
- The hammer guy!

- What use did he make of it?
- You can sit down, Benedetta sucks.

- No use covering up.
- I'm coId.

- You're a good bIoodhound!
about you two.

You're her bIoodhound, and then?

My fathers says he's sharp, serious
and eager, but he's had a tough Iife.

I'm a chiIdhood friend of
Benedetta's.

We met at Borgo Fiorito.

What is it, a hoteI?

It's a community.

Benedetta, what were you doing in a
community?

My dad was a benefactor.

Yes...

You were with him every time he came.

Like a gift.

Fuck you aIIi Go sniff some dust, it
might make you more entertaining.

A IittIe advice, don't go after her,
she's fuII of shit.

A IittIe advice for you, too.

Don't caII his hand. He's got good
cards.

- I'II see you.
- FuII house. I win.

I aIways wanted to pIay the piano,

but I'm hopeIess.

Just this IittIe song,

but everyhting possibIe through
imagination.

In my imagination I'm giving a
concert

and you are my audience.

We had Iots of imagination as kids.
Remember?

I thought you were the one who didn't
remember.

I have an iron memory, I remember
everything.

I didn't want to share our secret
with those jerks.

Do I have the scent I did as a chiId?

I saw the pictures of me...

that you hide in the cIoset.

I remember everything, Sasha.

The way you Iooked at me.

You wanted to put your hands in my
underpants, right?

I'd have Iet you.

I was a very naughty girI.

You're sweet...

but I'm the Wicked Witch and you're
Snow White.

It's no fun with guys Iike you.

You weren't sIeeping, were you?

Sorry, but I didn't know where eIse
to go.

If it weren't my chance of a
Iifetime...

I might finaIIy end this shit, Borgo
Fiorito, the whoIe past!

I'd finaIIy be a normaI person.

You know what I mean?

Remember your mother?
She aImost made it,

it was this fucking worId that kiIIed
her.

She needed some faith in herseIf, a
chance

One!

This restaurant is my chance and I
can't miss it.

How much do you need?

- 2,000 euro.
- Jesus, Fabrizio!

It's the minimum to get in, they want
it by tomorrow night.

I might have 700 euro aside, I can
ask an advance on the restoration,

but it won't do a fucking thing.

- The bank?
- With what guarantees?

You couId ask your friend.

No, not her! I can't.

- I need that money.
- I know.

You couId gambIe.

Listen...

I'II find it for you.

I'II take care of it, don't worry.

She says she's Circe, I'm Snow
White...

A perfume won't soIve the probIem.

Just do what I say.

What comes to mind when you think
about her?

FreshIy cut grass.

Moss

Honey.

Okay, but everything's too expensive
here.

I aIready asked for an 800-euro
advance and I've spent it.

I'II Iend it to you!

Don't be an idiot.

Wait, it needs warmth.

It's so good.

You have to imagine her skin.

I want this.

Buy this.

Here.

Wait for me outside.

Do you want that?

No.

No, thank you.

Have you got it?

It's a thousand.

It's not enough, I need it aII!

What the fuck, take it!

I aIready feeI Iike shit with NicoIe
and I can't find more.

With a hand of poker you'd doubIe it,
pIease.

I don't gambIe.

And besides, I wouIdn't know where to
find a tabIe.

Doesn't Benedetta have friends with
money?

I need that money.

If you won't do it for me, do it for
your mother.

I said no.

Do your best!

- Knock it off, jerk!
- I thought you were a good kid.

Come dance at my cIub in Riccione,
you'II get rich.

I'm aIready rich.

Good evening.

Each stake is a thousand euro, you
pIay for the baIance.

GentIemen, good Iuck.

Remember the potatoes.

Two hundred to see you.

I'II see you.

Three hundred.

- I'II see you - Three jacks.
- Poker.

Give me another stake.

- Five hundred euro.
- Five hundred.

- DoubIe to the ace.
- Draw.

- Bring me something to drink.

- I'm tired, I'd Iike to go home.
- I said bring me something to drink!

- We doubIe the stake.
- Put another in and we'II see.

Three jacks is okay, but I think four
is a good hand.

It's a good hand.

Two pair, three of a kind...
three of a kind, you win.

Lucky!

I'm not sure it's Iuck.

Three hundred.

- We have what we need, Iet's go.
- Wait a minute.

We've got everything, Iet's go.

- We've reached the time Iimit, I'm
Ieaving.

- That doesn't work for me.
- I'm sorry, count it.

He's that great pIayer you toId me
about?

Grab the aIIowance and run to buy
fIowers for Mom.

- I couId stay and skin you.
- I'm not scared.

Look at me!

Let's go, don't be a jerk, we have
what we need.

- Let's doubIe the stakes.
- Okay.

So we doubIe... Let's make it...

".."a thousand.

One thousand.

Seven thousand.

Seven thousand, you've got nothing!

DoubIe to see.

Cards.

Check.

AII my change.

You made a mistake, you shouId have
gone when you couId.

I know, but I was waiting for the
right time.

A fIush.

Fuck it, pay him.

He's much better than you!

- Get up!
- It was a pIeasure.

(croupier) Ten thousand...

".."twenty thousand.

Come on!

Starting to remember where you are?

Benedetta went overboard Iast night,
as usuaI.

Coffee?

- No, thanks, I have to go.
- How did you do it with those cards?

I've never seen anyone taIk to cards

Sorry.

If Benedetta were here, it wouId be
perfect.

I'm Iooking for NicoIe, her phone's

Take back your money and your
fucking car, I've had enough.

This is about 5,000 euro, you owe me
another 7,000,

pIus what I gave you for your dog.
Not to mention the moraI debt.

You'II get it, but you cannot
pronounce the word "''"moraI"''"!

Sasha...

You owe me money,

I have a game.

I've aIways wanted to naiI him, but
he aIways beat me at the tabIe.

Tomorrow night at 10, wipe him out
and then...

".."and then you're free.

Did you have a good trip?

I needed to get away, get some
siIence.

Sure!

It aIways happens around me. At a
to Ieave.

My father, my mother,

Riccardo, you, my cousin.

Right, you don't know that.

You don't...

Fabrizio is dead, he kiIIed himseIf.

- I'm sorry.
- You couIdn't have known.

You were doing siIence inside. Let's
waIk.

- Now how do you feeI?
- Just great!

Benedetta and I screw Iike hedgehogs,
I'm her friends' pet,

money's no Ionger a probIem. I'm a
king!

I'm Iiving, you were right, it's
awesome!

This isn't Iiving. And it's not just
for your cousin.

I'm just fine, don't be the teacher.

You're not weII and trying to hurt me
won't heIp. What's wrong?

Don't you ever stop?

Aren't you ever sick of judging,
patronizing, teaching?

"''"Live Sasha!

Not Iike that, Sasha, you couId do
better"...''"

Don't try Ioading me with guiIt, it
won't work.

Why did you Ieave?

Why did you sneak off Iike a thief?

- Can you teII me?
- I toId you, I needed siIence.

How can anyone Iike you need fucking
siIence? Your Iife drowns in siIence.

If you're pissed off with your Iife,
don't take it out on mine.

I'm pissed off with you!

- You didn't imagine this, right?
- I didn't imagine anything.

Yes you did, your mind never stops,
predict, define.

Then teII me, what shouId our meeting
have been Iike, after your escape?

Me, wagging my taiI, happy you'd
thrown me another bone?

You don't Iike what you see, right?

Know something? I did what you toId
me,

I got in touch with the reaI Sasha.

Here he is, don't you Iike him? Know
what I found out?

My bIood's as rotten as my parents"'."

Thanks to you, I know that.

But why weren't you with me when I
found out?

You're pathetic, if I were you, I'd
ask myseIf a few questions.

When do you start asking your own?

It's aII I've done, my whoIe Iife.

AII you've done your whoIe Iife is
waIIow in seIf pity.

It's handy pIaying the widow,

you're scared to death.

Rather than Iive, you prefer to mourn
in eternity.

Know what I think?

That asshoIe did you a favor by
getting rid of himseIf.

Why did you Ieave?

Can we change this dirge? No wonder
you're depressed...

Put make-up on me.

Come here.

Come on, come here.

Put make-up on me.

When it comes off, it stings, you
know.

I have to get out of here.

Sasha?

What's the matter? Did I do something
wrong?

I don't Iove you.

So what?

We're fine Iike we are.

- Stop!
- PIease!

- You and I are just aIike!
- Benedetta! No!

Do you know why I stopped coming to
Borgo Fiorito?

Because I got engaged.

At 10 I was aIready engaged.

He was one of my father's associates.

He was 40.

He said it was my fauIt he got
excited.

I was a naughty girI.

Don't you dare!

Don't you dare pity me, you bastard!

Fuck you! I hope you die.

It's over.

He's here.

Yes.

Hi, Sasha.

Hi, Riccardo.

(croupier) Let's begin.

Cards.

Five hundred.

(croupier) FuII.

Everything.

Pass.

Can I have some water?

Don't Iet up, you're doing great.

Fabrizio's dead.

I'm sorry.

Sure, of course...

Five hundred.

He didn't pass away, he kiIIed
himseIf.

- So, you knew. - I aIways know what
Fiorito.

Not a fucking thing.

Not a fucking thing.

You went away, Ieaving me and the
others in the shit, so shut up.

Can we pause, I need a break?

(Riccardo) Everyone out.

I went Iooking for a Iife, it was my
right.

CongratuIations, nice Iife!

Look at you. You're aII aIone,

you're an oId drunkard. Why don't you
kiII yourseIf too?

To pay for the bIame of not being
abIe to save my kids.

Yes, sure... I think about it every
day,

but don't make my mistake, don't
shouIder the dead.

I did it my whoIe Iife and then I had
to escape.

At sixty you can never get rid of
those ghosts. At twenty you can.

- You're a piece of shit, know that?
- And you're a coward.

Quit whining about aII who abandoned
you,

you keep us aIive with your anger,
but we're dead.

I'm aIive.

It's not a fauIt.

I brought you something.

It's yours, you Ieft it there.

I aIways know what happens to my
kids.

Don't fuck around with me.

Just don't.

Come on, Iet's get going!

Let's get going!

Cards.

- It wasn't your fauIt.
- Fuck off!

- Cards.
- (croupier) PIace your bet. - Sure.

Ten thousand.

(croupier) The pair of queens opens.

(Riccardo) It wasn't your fauIt.

PIay, damnit!

Twenty thousand.

DoubIe.

- (croupier) That's forty thousand.
- I can count. Cards.

- It wasn't your fauIt.
- Cards!

It wasn't your fauIt.

I know.

Everything.

Good, it's yours.

CongratuIations.

See you around.

I hope not.

BLOWS
