Who can tell me the difference between a leader and a boss?

Now, let me show you how a boss walks.

Doesn't stop.

Doesn't care who's on his way.

Even turning is like...

so perfect...

Winston!

Thank you.

It was... it was most kind.

I mean, it was very thoughtful of you to mend the hem of my trousers.

It's part of my work, Mr. Kinsky.

Well, thank you all the same.

Good night.

Good night.

Morning, Shandurai.

Good morning, Mr. Kinsky.

You are ten minutes late.

Come on in.

He goes out very little.

I don't think he has any friends.

What does he do all day?

He play the piano.

He give a few lessons.

Then he must be very rich.

He had this rich aunt...

When she died, she left him the house.

You'll end up in bed with him.

You're crazy.

So then, come to bed with me.

What are you saying?

Anyway, you are always telling me you are gay.

Exactly.

You're the only woman in the world I could sleep with.

Next.

For my residence permit.

Miss, you the head of the family?

You must come with the head of the family or your landlord.

We've been in line for two hours.

Are you the landlord?

Then stay out of this.

Next.

I'm going home.

I stood in line with you and now you give me the brush-off?

I have an exam soon, Agostino, you know?

Me, too.

Well, it's important to me, and this is a waste of time!

You Africans don't even know what time is.

Tell me, who invented the clock?

This is my cupboard!

I think this is yours.

It belonged to my aunt.

I do not understand you!

I don't understand this music!

I rather hoped you might keep it.

It's not possible I keep this. You know?

Why?

Why do I keep this?

I love you.

I absolutely...

Look, I'm in love with you.

I'm sorry.

I think I should go.

Marry me!

- Marry you? - Marry me, yes! Please.

- I cannot marry you. - Marry me!

You're crazy.

I've never felt anything like this before. I've never...

I've never said such things.

I love you.

I love you.

We could go anywhere.

I'll go anywhere with you.

We could go to Africa.

- Africa? - Yes, yes.

What do you know about Africa?

What do you know?

Let me go.

Please, love me.

Please, love me!

I'll do anything.

What do I have to do to make you love me?

I'll do anything! I'll do anything!

You get my husband out of jail!

I'm sorry. I didn't realise you were married.

May I ask you why he's in jail?

"Single room..." "Wide and elegant room..."

Are you all right?

I believe this is yours.

Sorry.

Uh, it just slipped.

He said to the disciples...

"People were eating and drinking...

"buying and selling...

"planting and building...

"but the day Lot left Sodom...

"it rained fire and brimstone from heaven...

"and it destroyed them all.

"Anyone who tries to preserve his life...

"will lose it.

"And anyone who loses it...

"will be kept safe."

Cholera...

Tuberculosis...

Meningitis...

Hepatitis...

Ebola...

Ebola...

You want coffee?

Something?

No, no, no. I don't think so.

Thank you all the same.

The symptoms include fever,

Cephalalgia and often macular-papular eruption.

Treatment can only be symptommatic.

Prophylaxis, considering the great contagiosity of the infection,

requires extremely rigid precautions.

- I'd give her an "A". - Yes, yes...

Sign here.

Keep up the good work.

Congratulations.

Miss...

Your purse.

Excellent! An "A"?

What are they like? Tough?

Very homophobic.

Shandurai

I have to go out for the day.

Someone's coming to collect the tapestry from the music room...

so if you could just show them where it is.

I suppose they'll need the ladder.

Okay.

Coming.

Oh, no, I clean later.

No, no. Please, please, please.

Shandurai, could you please pass me...

some of the manuscript paper over there?

Thank you.

There's not much to dust now.

Yes. I know.

The carpet could do with some hoovering, though.

You sure I don't disturb you?

No. Go ahead.

The bookcase.

Uh, I'll get it.

Yes, hello.

Father!

Yes! You're here?

Well, uh...

Carry on, carry on.

Well, wonderful, wonderful.

Where?

I'll see you in one minute.

I must go out.

Look, here's a contracted colon. A sausage?

Give me your hand.

Feel that contracted colon? The sausage?

I feel it...

a contracted colon.

Give me your hand.

There's the sausage.

"My dear Shandurai...

"Good news of your husband.

"He is alive.

"He is being transferred...

"from the military jail...

"to an ordinary prison...

"and his trial has been set for next week.

Who is this?

Mr...Kinsky.

Mr. Kinsky?

Mr. Kinsky!

Why?

That's enough!

- Found you. - Agostino.

- Let me in. - No, no, no.

- Please, let me in. - What are you doing here?

Let me in. Please, please, please. Let me in.

Get out!

Shut up! Please!

He's good, your pianist.

Come here!

I have to take the exam over.

I can be a student for the rest of my life. Why not?

Was it so bad?

Dreadful. They were really homophobic.

Let's get drunk.

Where is the whiskey, the cognac?

No, let's go out!

What?

- Go out? - Yes.

Where?

Wait, you're a vampaire, you want my blood!

Yes, Count Dracula!

That one, price is 35 million lira!

I need 50!

Resign yourself. It's not s piano; it's a wheelbarrow.

Add a couple of handles and you can push it around!

Let's make it 40!

Bingo! Don't say a thing, or I'll blow my top and give you 30.

35, okay.

Thank you.

You OK, Mr. Kinsky?

Yes, I'm fine.

Are you sure?

It's just... you seem...

Seem what?

Maybe something I can do for you, okay?

No, thank you.

Well, as a matter of fact, um...

I'll be giving a small concert next Friday for some friends.

Perhaps you could arrange to be there to help.

Yes, of course.

I'll be performing a little piece I composed.

You'll probably find it rather... trivial.

What is it?

Mr. Kinsky, I want to ask you something.

Yes?

Yes?

I wanted to ask you if, uh...

What?

There's this friend of mine...

and it's his birthday on Friday...

so I wanted to give him a present...

and I thought that maybe he could be at your concert.

Yes, of course.

The one who was making so much noise.

I meant to say sorry.

I didn't know he was coming, and...

he was very, very drunk 'cause he failed his exam...

and I said, "zitto, zitto, quiet," but he still...

He's not my boyfriend!

Shandurai

What are you doing there? Come on up. Come on!

Shandurai, where are you going?

Shandurai

Why are you running away?

Shandurai

Wait! What's the matter?

My husband.

"Freedom. Arriving Sunday at dawn. Winston."

The day after tomorrow? That's great!

We must give him a big party.

Flowers, Champagne, whiskey.

Aren't you happy?

You'll make love for a week. You get a baby, yes?

Aren't you happy, Shandurai?

- I don't know. - Why?

Shandurai, just think how nice!

Go away!

- Have you found it? - There's nothing here.

Everybody, look!

How much?

35,000 lira.

You can't stay here, get out.

Move it, that's dangerous!

Hello.

Come in.

An incredible thing has happened.

I heard from my husband...

and he is alive.

He's been freed. He's free.

Well, that's marvelous news. You must be very happy.

Yes.

I wanted to ask you if...

it would be OK that Winston...

stays with me downstairs for a few days.

Of course, of course.

When is he arriving?

Very early tomorrow morning.

Well, that's very exciting for you.

He's a brave man, you know.

He's a good man.

I respect him very much.

I found the ball.

Look forward to meeting him.

To our Lord, who once again has given us proof of his mercy.

And to you, for your... for your kindness, your help...

and your tenacity.

I hope one day you'll invite me to one of your concerts.

I don't really give concerts.

What?

I don't play in public.

Why not?

Well...

One of the finest pianists of our day, Vladimir Horowitz...

he stopped playing at the peak of his career.

Became convinced that his...

his fingers were made of glass.

Each time he struck a key...

he was terrified that the finger might just shatter.

Franco Ferarro, wonderful Italian conductor.

Every time he mounted the podium...

he sensed this terrible little..., this terrible force...

pushing him backwards. He just...

fainted away, just fainted every time.

You faint?

No.

That is why you don't give concerts.

I don't... I don't faint.

Dear Mr. Kinsky:

- No, no, no, no, I've had enough. - Yes. Yes.

Oh, well.

We've all had enough.

Now, what about you?

Why don't you play in public?

Me?

I'm just

not

good enough.
