Maybe in the future though...

I was born to be a businessman!

F***ing hell! I knew it.

Sh*t!

- It's no big deal.

- No big deal, my ass!

It's my first day of work.

They'll fire me and rightfully so.

- It's just a scratch.

- The whole bumper has to be replaced.

- It's nothing, chill out.

- Just be quiet, please.

Really? Then f*** you!

- Are you serious?

- I am serious.

Maybe I can wipe it off.

No luck!

I can't wipe the damn thing off!

I'm screwed!

What'|| I tell them now? What?

"I went bowling because.

Why did I go bowling?

What am I going to do? What?

I'm sorry.

That's right, you'd better apologize.

She jinxed me!

- Who?

- The bowling alley lady.

She's all happy now.

She's bitter that the priest

hooked me up instead of her son.

- The priest?

- Yes, he got me this job.

My mom did his hemming and mending

at her seamstress shop.

She's a pro, she works her magic

with needles.

Anyway, he got me this job

and she's jealous

her son didn't get it.

There she is, look at her!

That's why she was rude.

Exactly...

"That's six euros!"

I never paid before, I've bowled

for free dozens of times.

- But today she made me pay.

- You work now...

Slow down,

you don't want to hit another car.

I have an idea.

- Pull over.

- Oh God...

- Ever driven an automatic car?

- No.

It moves by itself

when you release the handbrake.

Look at this jackass cutting us off!

- Jerk!

- Release it...

- It moves by itself...

- Yes.

Nice and easy.

Concentrate, please.

Make sure you look around...

Slowly.

- Don't stress out.

- I'm not.

It feels different. This car is snazzy

but mine's more responsive.

- Make sure to look in the mirrors.

- I know.

- Eyes on the road!

- Yes, they are!

- Feel how smooth it is?

- Yes, I feel it.

It's like a cinch, once you get

used to it, it's like a game.

All right.

- Come on.

- This way?

Yes, be careful.

Fury!

- Scared?

- No.

I'm not scared.

Touch him.

Hi!

Like that...

- He's nice.

- Yes, but he's always all alone.

You know there are boars here?

- Boars?

- Yes, but don't worry.

They only come out at night.

You know...

a friend of mine from school

had a baby.

Yes... I went to visit her,

she was holding the baby,

he was beautiful,

so tiny with these little gray eyes...

His name's Alessio.

It was so strange though because

having a baby at our age...

isn't easy.

- How old is she?

- My age.

- How old are you?

- You don't know how old I am?

- How old are you?

- I'm 19.

But if you ask me...

having a baby is...

a way to resolve all of your problems.

- Does that sound odd?

- No, no...

I wouldn't say that...

But it is a huge responsibility,
