Scopone scientifico, Lo (The Scientific Cardplayer) Page #2

But this time, if Peppino

doesn't get justice,

I'll take a petrol can and

I'll set the villa on fire!

Stay still!

The two of you, stop playing and

come eat - it's late!

- Mama...

- How is the new dress on me?

You are a queen, my love.

Papa, you have to take her for

What? 20?! I'm gonna cut my hand off

if I don't take her for at least 100!

Who's going to claim the opposite,

this time papa and I have trained

all winter and we are unbeatable.

Why are we unbeatable?

Because mama and I love each other,

we go along together.

Just a glance and we understand each

other. That's playing in pairs!

That's why tonight we are confident.

- Papa is right!

- Love, have a rice ball...

- No, do you want to be sick?

Then you play badly.

You are right; better be light.

Hurry up, Anto'. The more we play

and the more money we take her for...

Don't forget - don't be late.

If we win a bunch of million,

we're going to wake you up,

otherwise, we'll let you sleep.

- Bye, goodnight.

- Bye. - Bye.

Cleopa', give a kiss to papa.

Are you sad?

Why, we are so hopeful,

now that the oldie is here.

Aren't you happy?

Yes.

- Good, that's how I like it.

- Eat!

Have a smile, Cleopa'.

Please, love.

At last! You are finally here.

If it was just me, I'm always on time,

but you know how women are,

a bit flirtatious!

Antonia had a bath, manicure,

an evening dress...

have you seen the fox stole,

Pasqualina? - Yes, I saw it.

Clean up your shoes.

- But we came by car...

Why did you come to the airport?

Who knew it... we thought she was dead.

No, she came back late because

she got a disease in her legs.

- Is she paralyzed?

- Yes, she uses a wheelchair.

Sometimes she is dizzy,

she has lost her memory.

- How does she play with no memory?

- That's better, give your best,

that you'll take her for lots of money,

let's go!

Let's attack her;

this is the right time. Let's go!

Entering here, it seems like a dream to me.

- I had given up on it!

Good evening, sir.

Madam, may I?

Too kind, don't bother.

Are you new here?

Yes, sir. This is the first

time I've worked at this place.

He's got a hook nose...

maybe it will bring me luck.

No, not the fur!

Would you like a drink?

- Maybe just...

- Thanks, we are fine.

- Yes...

- I go to call madam.

I just wanted a little French cognac...

- Come here!

- Tell me, love.

I told you so many times that

when they offer you a drink,

you must say no. You get dizzy

and you make mistakes.

Rest assured; a little drop

is not going to ruin me,

you can sleep peacefully, Anto'!

Let me have good cards...

That's our battle ground!

Our table...

with the usual unsteady leg.
