It's totally pointless to talk about income and taxes
untill we don't make clear rules to assign contracts and jobs
- Sure... sure...
Serena is right...
It's pointless to talk about money if we don't face the problem of work.--
and we don't understand how big contracts are assigned...
Anyway... Allright... We are here to talk about something else... I know.
How much is the rent? 1600 euros
Allrigh 1600...
ok, well... considering my actual economic situation...
if we could divide this amount let us say in three parts
instead of four... Just for the moment...
It would mean... For each one of you...
530 euros each...
Only 130 euros more for each one... It's nothing...
But we are all students and retired...
You think I've got an income?
No, the only difference between you and me is that don't have anymore the age
to go and ask money to my parents... Sorry, but I disagree totally.
Totally disagree... You too
And your last word madam? It's no. It's no.
No no no...
You are wrong Guarnaccia. I am working a lot.
What do I do? A lot of things.
Expriments... Reinterpretation...
Re-elaborations... Prototypes... I try not to work under commission anymore...
dear Guarnaccia.
Don't hang up. Don't!... I said I try not to work under commission, but...
In your specific case...
and despite the fact that the last time you did not pay us...
I will make an expetion.
sure
and so we can meet let's say...
today half past four.
Sure sure...
Very well, interesting... We can talk about it today at half past four.
Are you talking to me?
I don't seee nobody here.. Are you talking to me?
***! *** ***!
Stud stud... ***! ***!
Are you talking to me?
I don't see anybody here..
Parma 14? Yes...
Goodmorning
Goodmorning. Where do we go?
No, wait a second... I'm waiting for my wife.
(whispers) She's got the money.
Most strange animals come out at night....
pushers, ***, pimps...
Thank God it's noon.
But you know what I think?
One day it will come a storm and it will wash out the dirt and the *** from all the streets...
once and forever
you know? Wash out the ***!
It's "Taxi driver"
the line "Are you talking to me" was not in the original screenplay... Did you know that? They added it during the shooting.
On the spot.
They improvised.
I didn't know that.
But, I'm sorry to say that you do not look like De Niro... At all.
Yes I know that but look... I didn't study to be an actor... It's not my specific...
I'm a screenwriter.
that's what I've studied for... And I use my cultural background to speak to my costumers here...
Otherwise we would end up talking only about football and meteos, meteos and football...
Please. That's enough.
I take the metro.
No, please... Don't get upset. I'll take the subway.
But if you want we can talk about football. I take the metro.
I have decided.
We can talk about footbal right now.
It is the very idea of the frustrated writer that gives me big problems...
Why?

Frustrated who?
Guarnaccia!
Guarnaccia... Old slaimy pig!

Wow!...
Look. If you get me out of this car for funerals and give me back my life I am ready to do anything...
mm.... who is it?
Hello...
Guarnaccia...
But what time is it?
11 A.M.!...
No, I'm not ***... I worked late... At my pc.
No... Nobody filled me up...
Duke!
Yes I remember... Very well...
You've already told me years ago...
you'll always find a place at my desk.
but you meant under our desk... This I understood later.
What?... But something like... Father of all fathers...
I see...

Who are the others?
Did he already sign?
I see... It's one of your Guarnaccia things...
All right...

One film in the last three years. Yes but it's been seen.
I bet you came here by bus. No, I used my cab.
Yes right because you work with it. And how's your wife?
Does she already know that you will work with the family breaker?

And just because I did not pay them...
Tha a life!
They tried to poison me... Poison! Serious thing...
I was forced to hire a taster...
Yes... A personal taster. The man who would taste the first spoon of my soup every evening.
every day!
My taster's name was... Camillo!
Camillo, yes...
you can't have an idea
of the kind of bindings that generate between a taster and the man that he protects
The one
who is ready to take your poisoned hamburger in his stomach...
My history fortunately ended quickly...
Come on Balestri... Thank you. Shut up.

No, not now... This is not the moment. I have to...
I don't think it's the case... Really... Ok, no problem...
It's not that I'm following you...
