and she'd have stressed me out.

It's best they all think

I'm in the mountains.

- How long will you stay here'?

- Till Saturday.

- Got any beer'? - No, there's fruit

juice over there. - There?

Look how organized you are!

All your snacks are in order, tidy.

You bought all this junk because

they don't let you eat it at home'?

The only thing missing

is a "Royal with cheese".

- Where were you going skiing?

- Borca di Cadore.

- Okay but what is it'?

- Don't move it, you'll upset them!

- What is it'?

- An ant nest.

You'd rather stay in a basement

watching ants

than go skiing'?

Yes, I'm better off by myself.

- You might be right about that.

- Whose stuff is this?

- Countess Nunziante's.

- Who the f***'s she'?

She lived in our apartment before us.

Dad bought the house and

let her stay there till she died.

He did it to help her,

she had no money left.

I see, a bare ownership deal.

- You know what that is'?

- No.

Imagine you're old, poor

and have no one left.

But you have a beautiful house.

You sell your house cheaply

but you still live there

and when you die, the house and

your things go to whoever bought it.

So to get the house,

he had to hope she'd die soon.

- Right.

- That's not nice.

No, it sucks.

Well, I'm going to get some sleep.

I traveled all day yesterday,

I'm dead tired.

- Where were you coming from'?

- From my house, Catania.

Does your mom still have

the shoe shop in Catania'?

Excuse me young man, is there

a restroom down here?

Of course.

Where did you go'?

- Dancing. - Where'?

- Somewhere outside Rome.

Oh, my God!

Water.

Anyway, I knew

about the bare ownership deal.

I couldn't tell you

but Dad and I killed the Countess.

By poisoned chocolate.

I'm cold.

I'm here to make sure

no one finds the body

and to wait for it to turn to dust.

Understand'? Do you understand'?

- What's wrong'?

- My bones hurt.

You're not going to give me the flu,

are you'?

When you go,

there's a pharmacy in the square.

You're going, right'? You promised.

Remember you promised you'd go!

Where are you'? Call me. Mom.

When will I see you'?

Not before, then'?

It's just that I have

nowhere to stay here.

Okay, I'll see what I can do.

What'?

No, I swear, I'm just a little tired.

I wrote to you, I'm clean.

Marco. Marco, listen,

I so want to see you.

Okay my love,

I'll wait for you to call me.

lamb!-

- No, you're leaving now.

- Spying on me, you little sh*t?

I'll do whatever I like.

This is my place.

Give me a break.

What do you want '? Look at yourself.

Standing there,

pointing your finger at me...

"No, you're leaving now!"

Did you learn that from Dad'?

Ordering people around'? No, there's
