La bonne absinthe Page #3

---

He received the subpoena

yesterday.

It's a delicate case and it

must be treated intelligently.

I wish you'd defend him.

Why me'? We've always

been on opposing sides.

What's the problem'?

It's about defending a boy

who has been

a little exuberant.

You can go to

one of my colleagues...

You are the best lawyer in town.

- And my son...

- Your son resisted arrest.

He punched a cop

and had a knife on him.

Unfounded allegations.

There's no witness.

Don't you need an evidence'?

I only ask you to do your

work and defend him.

You don't need to pray.

After all, it's a simple case,

and I'm here because

I trust you.

If you accept,

I can sleep peacefully.

I will think about it.

- Shall we?

- Yes, of course.

- Good night, Angela.

- Good night, sir.

- Anna!

- Yes, here I am.

- Good night.

- Good night, signora.

Have you called more

for that house?

Actually, no.

I was very busy.

Is it so urgent?

Do you hate it so much'?

It's not that.

I don't hate it at all.

- My mother'?

- No. It's so much your house.

I would prefer one

that is ours.

- A house we choose together.

- I'll do it first tomorrow.

- I promise, okay?

- Okay.

Tell me.

Are you contented with

Angela at home'?

Do you think she is

the right person'?

Why do you ask'?

Has something happened?

I just wondered.

We never talked about it.

I wanted to know

what you thought.

Are you sure

you don't hide anything?

If anything has happened,

I'd rather know it now.

Is this about you and her

or about mom'?

Nothing has happened, really.

I was only wondering.

What do you think?

I think...

she's a good girl.

She's very patient with mom...

What can I say'?

- Pour me some wine, please?

- Of course.

I'm sorry for the delay.

I didn't realize the time.

It's no big deal.

The keys.

- There's someone at home anyway.

- What do you want'?

The water's finished.

May I have some water'?

What's up?

'5 anything wrong?

You shouldn't drink so much.

It's not good for you.

Time for the medicine.

Who is it'? Can't you tell me'?

- It's about Angela.

- So what?

Come on, don't do that.

You know you have to take it.

I read the package leaflet.

They cause arteriosclerosis.

- Please.

- I don't need that crap!

In my days those pills

didn't exist,

and people were healthier.

- Okay. Do what you like!

- Just call if you need anything.

- But...

Then'? What's going on here'?

- Signora...

- My husband.

I'll put them aside.

Carlo came with new cigarettes.

Try to get ready soon.

- You've got to go.

- Just one moment.

- I'll be fired. You've got to go.

- Come here.

Please, Carlo.

If you send me away,

I'll never come back.

- Who was it'?
