Interrabang

- Stop it, I can't go on.

- More!

You're the most beautiful sergeant

I've ever kissed.

- And she keeps on reading! What is it?

- Lin Yu Tang.

- Read it to me, is it a giallo?

- It isn't as simple as that, leave me alone.

I'll tell you, it's mine...

Who else would read something like that?

Fine, tell me what it's about, then.

It's difficult...

It's about the desire to destroy all

the sad and boring things in life, right?

It all inevitably leads to tragedy.

- I didn't understand a thing!

- Because you're stupid!

The more I read, the more I realise everyone

around me keeps saying the same thing...

It's an old philosophy now, the destruction

of tragedy is a French invention.

- I didn't realise you were so prepared.

- Really? I do like to read, sometimes.

And this is the oldest argument

in the world...

It's important to risk your life, games

are a means to look for and find freedom.

What freedom?

They all die in the end!

I'm sure they do,

because death is absolute freedom.

- You're boring me!

- Quiet! Culture is everything!

The typical dumb conclusion.

Fabrizio!

Try these.

- Fabrizio!

- What is it?

Give me your mouth,

I'll explain why later.

- What is it?

- I wanted to know if you're still alive?

- My wife's worried, I'll be back.

- Yes, come back, I really want to make love!

You're crazy!

You said the same thing when we did

that shoot in the mountains.

I wonder what she means by 'love'?

The simplest thing in the world,

my dear...

Put yourself in the horizontal,

and wait.

Such a wonderful description

of the art of making love!

- It's obscene!

- What did you say?

I said it's completely obscene.

What? The book you're reading,

or our conversations?

Stop upsetting yourself,

life's just a game, isn't that right, dear?

- A dirty game.

- Listen, they're talking about the fugitives.

- Have they caught them?

- Turn up the volume.

"...after a bloody shoot-out,

two of the men were captured..."

"Three police officers

were left slightly injured..."

"But time is running out for the third fugitive,

unless he's managed to get off the island..."

"Although that seems unlikely with

the coast guard on full alert."

"In a separate incident,

a police officer has gone missing..."

- Have they got them?

- No, one of them is still at large.

One's more than enough

to commit more crimes.

A man fighting for his freedom is stronger

and more ferocious than any animal!

It's nice here...

It's just right for us.

It really is beautiful.

It's also the ideal place for a fugitive.

- Yes, very nice, we have work to do.

- Lower the anchor.

What are you doing?

Don't stand there like a statue!

Hey, you idiot, I'm talking to you!

Are you going to move, or not?

- Can't I think for myself?

- No, you just have to pose.

Precisely!

- It isn't working.

- What about this?

Do something! Raise an arm or two!

Think about it... No, don't think.

- Like this?

- You make me sick.

Lower your arm, like that.

A bit more...

Back a little...

Wait.

There... Like that.

Not bad for an amateur,

but you're a professional...

So start doing something, you idiot!

Why do I agree to do

these stupid assignments?

- I'm tired, I don't feel like it.

- Come on, the other one.

Couldn't you have prepared

it earlier, you idiot?

Nervous, today?

Stupid...

Stupid...

Stupid!

Stupid but beautiful!

That's great!

A bit further back.

Virgin!

Smart!

Beautiful.

Now give me your body...

You're the most beautiful

piece of plastic in the world!

- Anna thinks I'm horrible.

- As a woman...

You're here as a model

because you're worth it...

But as a woman,

you're the dumbest, most vulgar...

- You're horrifying!

- And as a lover?

I'll spare you my judgement, dear,

it would be in poor taste.

- Valeria's ready for you.

- You women are so stupid...

I can't take much more of this.

I don't need you any more, I want to leave!

I want to be a war correspondent.

With the Negroes, perhaps?

Miles away from your stupidity!

Can we try and get one good shot?

Just one!

Look after this.

What is it? An Inca amulet or

something to do with black magic?

- Why do you have it?

- It's a good luck charm...

It's called an 'lnterrabang',

if you'd looked more closely...

You'd have noticed that it's an exclamation

mark and a question mark combined.

- How fascinating!

- Sure...

To someone as superficial as you

it doesn't mean a thing...

But it's the new symbol of doubt,

the uncertainty in all of us...

The uncertainty of these times,

the uncertainty of the world.

Very deep, my dear...

No, don't move, I'll do it.

That's a good one:

Land in sight

Great expectations.

More land sighted...

Change it, dear.

Abandonment...

Wickedness.

Stupidity...

Temptation!

You're so funny!

Funny and useless.

Fabrizio!

- What does she want now?

- If you wanted to write that...

You'd have to use an interrabang.

You see? It's the perfect day

for the perfect murder...

You know Valeria, if your sister didn't love

you so much, we could blame the fugitive...

- And get rid of you.

- That isn't funny, you're an idiot!

- Sure, as long as I'm hanging around you.

- Must you torment each other?

- Something stinks around here?

- Me and him?

- Not even if I was dead!

- You see? Death...

It's the second time you've

mentioned death today.

Death hovers over us...

I'm coming!

What are you doing there?
