A Quiet Life Page #2

I didn't even see her.

I did, she followed you

into the bathroom.

What did you say to each other?

She was drunk, I hadn't seen her

for over two years.

I forgave you once

because I love you,

but don't think I'm stupid.

Let's go to bed.

I'm not sleepy.

Do you mind?

Don't stay up too late.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Do you speak Italian?

- Yes.

Isn't anyone around?

Dad's outside, he'll be right in.

Rosario's your father?

What's he doing?

He's killing the trees.

Hi.

Nobody around?

I wanted an outside terrace

with tables and chairs for summer,

a sort of biergarten.

But they won't let me

cut down the trees.

They'll only give authorization

if they're dead,

so I kill them with copper nails.

- Eat up.

- Now you even cook?

I learned here.

- Is the salt right?

- I guess so.

They've got weird tastes here...

Sorry I didn't come up

to say hello yesterday...

- I was wrong not to let you know.

- Okay, you're here now.

How long are you staying?

Two, three days, is it a problem?

No!

What did you tell your colleague?

That you're Mom's cousin.

Good.

- What's the matter?

- It's strange seeing you here.

Why's that?

Because I remember you as a child,

I couldn't imagine...

I mean, I knew you'd grown,

but not...

Anyway, you understand.

- Hello.

- Hello.

This is my wife,

he's Diego, my cousin's son.

Rosario never talks

about his relatives.

I always say to invite them,

but he won't.

I'm taking Mathias to school.

See you later.

She's 42, but still

a beautiful woman.

If you want something particular,

just ask.

- I've got things to do, we'll see.

- As you like.

Stay as long as you want.

Remember Enzino's brother,

the guy who ran the car wash?

- Gaetano?

- Yeah.

- Know how he died?

- He fell off the balcony.

And know how he happened to fall?

I don't know,

he leaned over too far.

Okay, so you don't know!

He was having a spittin' game.

A spittin' game?

Yeah!

Enzino, his brother, told me!

Gaetano took a run to spit

and fell off the balcony.

Couldn't it happen?

He took a run,

the railing was low...

And he fell off the balcony.

That's him.

We gotta do it down here.

Go 500 meters

and take the second left,

at the bowling lanes,

see you there.

In theory he should sign the

contract at the end of the month,

but he wants to screw them

so he's signing early.

Enzino,

are his hours always the same?

Like clockwork:
he leaves the office

at 5 and rides his bike home.

Okay, we'll wrap it up in 2 days.

Did you bring it?

Here.

If you need anything,

call me by tomorrow,

then I'm on vacation

and want no trouble.

- Tell us how your brother died?

- That again!

- A spittin' game.

- My brother is dead and you laugh?
