- I told you I would come to class

for her. - She ran off.

I understand that,

it's the rest I don't understand!

They pushed me down the stairs.

If this happens again,

you'll be in serious trouble.

- Still hurt?

- Yes.

The next time you have to react,

beat them up.

What about the story

of the cheek?

If someone slaps you,

they can slap the other cheek too.

That's what the ones

who start the fights say.

You must defend yourself,

and protect yourself when you fall.

How?

- If you want to know, you must do

everything I say. - I accept.

Let's shake.

We should celebrate.

- I bet you like strawberries.

- You win!

I knew it.

The pediatrician says I can't eat them.

You won't tell my mother?

I'd betray our pact.

I keep secrets.

- Hurt you?

- No.

- Is this the game of salami?

- Sort of.

Get up.

I'll help you.

Good girl!

Up you go!

Come on.

By yourself!

Now alone.

Come on, up!

Come on, Tea! Get up!

Good girl. Get up.

- Good.

- I did it, now stop!

Get up by yourself!

Up you go!

- You're bad!

- By yourself!

Get up!

Again! Get up!

Come on, get up!

Come on, Tea! Come on!

- I'll tell my mother, I'll get you fired.

- Will you get me fired?

- Who'll you get fired?

- You're horrible!

You're bad!

- Again!

- You're bad!

Again! Again!

- Get up! Get up!

- Stop, please!

- Again!

- Stop it!

Get up, come on!

Again! Get up!

Whore! Whore! Whore!

Good girl!

See, you can do it?

Why didn't you slap me before?

Why didn't you do it before?

You're good, understand?

Come with me.

Tell Mrs. Adacher

she's one payment in arrears.

- I've just paid.

- Oh, sorry.

Here we are.

Here's the nicest guest

at Villa Robinia.

Gina, do you recognize me?

It's useless.

If it's not cold...

...she can go out for some air.

It'll do her good.

I'm sorry.

I know you'll never forgive me...

...but if I didn't go my way

I'd have died myself.

Understand?

I'll repay you somehow.

That's small for a large branch,

put it higher.

Sure, Madame President.

Put the star on top.

- Mr. Donato, staying for dinner?

- Well, Madame President?

It won't hurt you

to spend an evening with me.

- Want to eat with us?

- I don't think so.

- Daddy, you tell her too.

- Don't be a pest.

If I'm the president,

why do you always decide?

Irena, please...

Who taught you to cook so well?

No one, I've read lots of recipes.

- I'm still hungry!

- He's hungry!

- Now I need 3 kids!

- Me, me!

You, you and you!

- No, Tea!

- Let her go.

Let's help him digest, jump!

What a stink!

Mommy!

Get up.

Get up.

Up!

It's useless, leave me alone.

- Slap me, punch me!

- Please, stop!

I'll do everything,

but I want to go out.
