The coffee.

Watch out for the stairs.

The other evening this kind man...

Oh, what a mess. It's flooded again.

This is no way to live. Damn it!

Wait there a moment.

The engineer!

He should have been a gravedigger!

That'll be the day.

I've been paying for all the devil's sins!

Come on!

Hold on, I'll have you go in the bedroom.

Good God.

It's flooded here too. Have a seat

in the bedroom, I'll make you coffee.

I need to know someone important.

That's what I need.

I'm so sorry.

I put in a request two years ago, but...

Don't worry about it.

In the meantime,

I'll make some coffee, okay?

Would you close the door?

You want to make love here?

No?

I'll leave your coffee here.

You didn't agree on the terms before?

Are you crazy?

Hey, I don't know.

They did everything on their own!

Was I supposed to kick them out?

- Hopefully they'll give me 2000 lira.

- 2000 lira? I set the price around here!

- Are they husband and wife?

- Yeah, right.

Here. Many thanks.

Must I back up,

or is there room to turn around?

No. It's easier if you turn right

at the end.

Can I give you a little kiss?

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

- Come back when you want!

- Bye.

Don't go speeding with that car, now!

Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God!

Emma.

Emma! Emma!

Emma, what's wrong?

Answer me, what happened?

What did you do?

What did you do, you crazy fool?

Emma!

It's nothing. Stay calm!

I'll take you to the hospital.

Why, I ask?

Why are you so crazy?

Do you...

Do you want to ruin me, huh?

One of these days I'll just let you die.

I'll let you die!

Emma, answer me.

Stop it now.

Emma, honey...

My love. Emma.

Hurry!

Rubini! Did you bring that woman

who poisoned herself?

Giannelli, do me a favor,

don't write anything.

I'll be in trouble with the police.

- What happened?

- Nothing.

- What is her name?

- I can't tell you. Leave me alone, please.

You can come in.

Yes.

- Emma.

- Don't tire her. She needs to rest.

You can take her home

in a couple of hours.

In the meantime, see the brigadier

for the report. It's mandatory.

Emma.

Emma, why did you do it?

Tell me. Why?

The brigadier is waiting for you.

I'll be right back.

Wait there, please,

he'll be right with you.

- Sister, can I use the phone?

- Sure, go ahead.

- You come here. Come down!

- I just want to take one picture!

Get your hands off me!

Sylvia! Sylvia!

Your glasses! Your glasses!

Take your glasses off!

No! Go! Go back.

Sylvia, take your glasses off!

Come on, smile!

Do we give her the flowers first

or the pizza?

- The pizza!

- Be careful not to drop it!

Please bring your luggage

to customs,

Hurry up with this pizza,

you morons!

Stand back, stand back.
