Why not? She's the right type of girl.

You should marry someone like that.

No way will I marry her.

Be quiet. You still wet the bed.

Isn't our new home beautiful?

What did I tell you?

Say hello to them.

- Ettore, are you coming out later?

- Yes, he'll be right there.

Here.

Take this, my little pimp.

Give me that hat.

Come on.

See her? Her name's Bruna.

Why tell me?

She's something.

Everybody knows it.

You can ask them.

Everybody goes with her,

even the garbage men.

She's good-looking, though.

You should see her legs.

Come on, we'll introduce you.

Hi, Bruna. How are you?

What are you doing here?

I brought the baby out

for some fresh air.

Look how cute he is.

When are you boys

going to have one like him?

Isn't that pretty? Let me see.

- Don't touch. It's dangerous.

- It's a skull. How ugly.

Is it porcelain? Can I have it?

Are you crazy?

You're so mean.

I want to introduce you to a friend.

- Nice to meet you.

- I'm Ettore.

He's a good guy, like us.

He told me he likes you.

That's not true.

Have you lived here long?

I've never seen you.

Not long.

Where did you live before?

In Guidonia.

His mother's the brunette

with the new stall near yours.

Signora Roma?

Such a good-looking woman.

I know her.

You work with her?

No, I don't.

Look.

It's Maria and Assunta

and their friends.

Let's go.

Assunta, where are you going?

Dancing.

Damn, it was only a vision.

Got any money?

None at all.

If we had some,

we could go see a show.

Let's go see the whores

in Caracalla and have a few laughs.

Let's go!

There's a black girl who likes me

and gives me smokes.

Have you ever been

with one of them?

One used to come to Guidonia,

for the soldiers.

There's Arsenal and Thunderbolt.

What's going on?

Listen.

Can I talk to you?

Is it safe?

Wait for us a minute, Ettore.

We have to talk.

You're patient.

You can wait, eh?

Are you guys up

for a job at the hospital?

It's visiting hours for relatives.

We pretend we're visiting someone.

We look for a good target,

walk by his bedside table

and grab his things.

We have to be careful, though.

Some don't have any visitors,

but they don't want to look lonely,

so they pretend to be asleep.

But we'll be careful.

Are you in?

- Shall we try it?

- Sure. Can't go anywhere without money.

See you tonight, Ettore.

We have stuff to do.

Ettore.

Ettore, what are you doing here?

I saw you from my window.

Right over there.

My baby fell asleep, so I took him home.

What are you doing here?

Just wandering around.

Bruna...

do you have a father and mother?

- Of course. Why?

God knows where those boys took you.

Watch out - they're a bad bunch.

- Do you like it?

Pier Paolo Pasolini

Pier Paolo Pasolini (Italian: [ˈpjɛr ˈpaːolo pazoˈliːni]; 5 March 1922 – 2 November 1975) was an Italian film director, poet, writer, and intellectual. Pasolini also distinguished himself as an actor, journalist, novelist, playwright, and political figure. He remains a controversial personality in Italy due to his blunt style and the focus of some of his works on taboo sexual matters, but he is an established major figure in European literature and cinematic arts. His murder prompted an outcry in Italy and its circumstances continue to be a matter of heated debate. more…
