I mean,

we may not follow him

as much as we'd like,

but we care about his education,

we want him to continue.

We want him to go

to high school and university.

Good luck.

What does that mean?

You remind me of

how I used to be.

My students were my own kids,

maybe a little more active.

I thought they'd be smart,

go to university...

Some might be teachers...

Years went by,

some ended up dead or in jail.

But most ended up

at the local bar doing nothing.

All of them,

even the brightest ones.

They all had that same stupid

and ordinary look on their faces.

No, none of them

went to university.

Come on, please.

We've been friends for 15 years,

we've never had problems.

So?

Friends have disagreements

sometimes.

You just have to talk about it.

- A coffee, please.

- Two.

And we worked it out,

didn't we?

Are you fighting

about the other day?

When Marisa wanted

to call the cops?

- What did you do?

- Nothing!

I just slapped a gypsy girl around.

- You almost killed her!

- Killed her?

You can do what you want,

but not in my store!

That's the problem.

You did a lot of damage in it.

I apologized.

They burnt my van,

those crooks.

I wish I had proof it was them.

Alfredo's right,

you can't cause trouble in a store.

Especially a friend's store.

This time those f***ing gypsies

got me,

but all of you could be next!

That's another story.

See, you don't solve anything

by beating them up,

so you have to find

another method.

I know how to get rid of them.

Fear,

we have to scare them.

Really scare them.

I'd better leave.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!

One shoots little girls,

the other beats them.

Wait.

- Good thing you're here.

- Why?

There's someone who wants

to buy your paintings.

Who?

A certain Antonini.

He's a good kid.

Well, kid...

He must be at least forty.

He's a lawyer

and wants to decorate his new office.

- Is it a sure thing?

- Quiet!

- But why mine?

- Because you're good.

And you can trust me.

You should see how happy he is.

He was so excited

when he saw "The Annunciation".

He said you're an amazing artist

and can't wait to meet you.

He's even made an offer

that I consider reasonable.

But you have to decide

on the price.

- No you decide.

- Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

This is your client...

She is our artist.

Luciana De Angelis,

- nice to meet you.

- My pleasure.

Your paintings are wonderful.

Thank you.

Shall we sit down?

Make yourselves comfortable.

If you like her work,

make a serious offer or

we'll have to pass.

My offer...

I'll give you 4,000 euros.

Half now and the rest when I can.

Let's say 60 days.

Plus I want widow Rampichini's

oak-wood desk.

All right.
