Violent Life Page #5

- Puzzilli.

First floor, flat number 2,

but there's no one there.

- No one?

- Who are you?

Tommaso, their son.

Ah, the convict?

Wait.

Your mother left me the key.

What a great place!

How did they get this?

The priest got it assigned to you.

He put in the application.

So priests perform miracles too?

If they're stupid,

then I'm going back to prison.

They have no worries,

they have fun and enjoy themselves...

and they get it on with the girls.

Where's the priest?

Come in.

Can I come in?

Come on in.

- I'm Tommaso Puzzilli.

- Oh, yes. Tommaso.

Your mother's told me

a lot about you.

How can I help you?

I have an important matter

to discuss.

- What's it about?

- Well...

I don't know where to start.

May I? I know, it's a nasty habit.

- But it's not a sin, right?

- Go ahead.

You already know my life story.

- First of all, thanks for the house.

- Thank the Lord.

Yes, but I thank you too.

You see, I want to get married.

I need your advice.

Only you can help me.

Tell me what I have to do.

- How old are you?

- I'm almost twenty.

Are you serious about it?

You know what it means?

Of course.

You're young,

you could have a nice family.

How old is your fiance?

When I left her to go to the can,

she was eighteen.

The "can"?

Of course, you were in prison.

Do your parents know?

Do they object?

Yes, two years ago,

when her father found us...

...he beat her and that's why

I got in trouble.

- I'll talk to her parents.

- Many thanks.

Watch out, her dad's a nasty man.

I'll tell him you've changed

and that you've got a job.

- But I haven't!

- I'll find you a job.

Tommaso!

Mom, why are you crying?

Is that how you greet me?

I get out of jail and you cry?

I'm not the prodigal son!

- Don't cry, get my bath ready.

- I'll warm some water up.

Everything will be different now,

you'll see.

I've met all the right people

who want to help me.

Life's looking up now, mom.

Tommaso.

Irene, I need to talk to you,

but I don't know where to start.

What about?

Seeing you again has made me

want to settle down.

I used to be a bit reckless.

I didn't tell you much

because I cared about you.

I couldn't tell you

I never worked.

If I'd told you the truth,

I wasn't sure what you'd think.

So?

I care about you,

that's why I want to change.

I don't want to be Tommaso anymore.

I know you've got good principals.

And you've never hurt me.

I'm going to speak to your parents.

We'll do things properly.

If you really care about me...

I spoke to the priest

about my intention.

- About the paperwork?

- Yes, it's no big deal.

Birth, baptism and confirmation

certificates

and unmarried status.

It costs 1,000 or 2,000 liras.
