Luciano, where are you going?

Michele, you tell him!

What can I say?

No, I'm sick of this!

You gotta go, I have things to do.

- Get out!

- The lady's right.

Convinced now?

Thanks for your patience.

It's okay.

Get out, that's it.

Ma, I'm making pastries,

bread too.

I need that for the pastries.

Shame on you, ma'am.

I was wrong.

What happened to that one?

- It doesn't look so good, but...

- Doesn't look so good?

- Just dirt.

- It comes off.

Who can I give this thing to?

- Don't give me 500, just 250.

- No way!

- Don't yell.

- I'm not yelling.

Calm down!

My customers

want these things neat and clean.

Don't want it? Don't take it.

Michele, hold this.

- Pay me for four.

- Always the same old story.

- What can I give 'em now?

- Nothin'.

It's not my fault.

Here's 2,000 euro,

the rest tomorrow.

- We'll see.

- Four plus one...

- Five.

- Even he can count, see?

- Luciano, you always do this stuff.

- No, it's the first time.

The door.

- I'll be back tomorrow.

- I'll call you.

Happy now '2.

- See what you got me into?

- I don't know what to say.

Take it easy.

Forget your pay this week.

Goddammit, jeeze!

I'm job-hunting,

I have a degree in Economics.

- Why Big Brother?

- It's important to dream.

- I agree.

- Next, 562.

And my passion's techno music.

- Let's go see.

I play soccer.

- What position?

- Forward, in the D league.

From soccer to Big Brother?

Yes, you can earn more.

Not bad,

Thanks a lot, bye.

And now it's...

Enzo!

Good evening.

It's the only thing

they can't take from you.

People die of worry!

Excuse me.

Papa?

You gotta come, there's tryouts

for Big Brother, even Enzo's here.

I can't, I'm busy,

I'd love to, honest.

Talk to Martina.

Papa, come on,

these guys can't do a thing.

I don't know, I'm really busy.

Get off the phone!

Put Mommy on, please, I'm busy.

Maria, what should I do?

I'm busy.

Nah, don't come and don't worry,

I'll handle this.
