The Dinner (I nostri ragazzi)

Where the fuck do you think you're going? Can't you see it's red?

- You're even on your fucking phone! - Put your hand back inside...

You went through while the light was red!

Dad please, forget it. I'm scared. - It's nothing.

Still on your phone? Did you see what you did back at the traffic light?

- I've already said sorry! - You're a piece of shit!

- Brother, calm down. - Pull yourself come together.

- What'd you say? - Come on!

- I'm talking on the phone. - I want to grab you by the neck!

You're making your son cry.

- Leave my son out of this! - OK let's go!

- What are you doing, are you laughing? I want to kill you!

See you! See you!

- Now you're getting worked up! - Dad, forget it!

Dad, stop!

- Here you are! - Dad, forget it.

- What the fuck are you looking at? - Get out!

- Keep calm. - I want to smash your face!

- Now I'll show you! - Dad, stop.

- Open up! Open up! - Papa!

Stop! I'm a policeman! I am a policeman!

He wanted to kill me! I did nothing!

I did nothing!

Stop!

- Good morning. How are you? - Well.

What's your name?

- He does not answer, is he shy? - A bit.

- So I know, your name is Agilulf. - No, Funisbondo.

Ah! Funisbondo! Did Funisbondo eat today?

A little, doctor.

I see here that he had roast chicken and fried potatoes.

- If you aren't always careful, you might just end up in a hospital like you are now.

When will all this be over?

The doctor's being silly, this is the worst thing that has ever happened to you.

How is this young man?

- Better, I've been massaging his legs lightly as you suggested

Good, Keep doing it. Until we gradually have him back on his feet again.

Right, Stefano?

See you later.

Doctor, he's still not moving his legs.

Give it time. The first operation did go well.

- And he's also not speaking, why would that be?

- He is suffering from a serious case of shock.

Come and see me later and I'll explain a few more things to you.

- It's like not much liquid is going through I think... - No, everything's fine.

It's fine like this.

I think your colleague took offense earlier. All I wanted to say...

Not to worry, no one takes offense around here, madam.

Hear what the doctor called you? He called you "young man".

The bullet that hit him entered his chest and fractured a vertebra.

This caused a hematoma that compromised his spinal cord.

This is why Stefano can't move his legs.

The good news is that there are no lesions in the spinal cord.

We have to wait a few days for the hematoma to subside

and then we will operate again to stabilize the fracture.

- He will recover completely, won't he? - Of course Madam, Don't worry.

Stefano is a very strong child, he is a fine young man.

Oh, please don't cry.

Come on, Madam. Now, what more can we do?

I can't take it anymore.

You must try to remain calm, and help him do the same.

- You will operate on him, won't you? - Sure.

Do not cry in front of him, he needs strong support.

Alright? Laugh, talk to him, try to take his mind off it.

Thats what Stefano needs right now.

He'll start talking again, you'll soon see

Alright.

- I'll go over to him then. - OK.

Good, I'll be along soon.

Here we are.

- Good afternoon, Sir. - Good afternoon, how are you? Fine thanks.

- My wife? - She's putting the girl to sleep.

- When's dinner? - Whenever you wish Sir.

Fine. In about ten minutes then please. Perhaps you could bring it to my office

- Yes Sir - Thanks

Hi

- Hi - Is she asleep already?

She's just fallen asleep.

Hi

- You didn't make it today... - A last minute hitch, I'm sorry.

- The teacher is pretty, a bit 'old... - She sounds like she'd be better.

It seems like a very good nursery, they make a bit of a fuss about their "methods"...

It's not as if we're in Manhattan!

- The important thing is that you like it, right? - Yes.

Listen Love, I'm going to eat in the studio because I have a lot to do,

but I promise we'll spend some time together after..

Okay, I'll wait for you.

Hi Sofia. I'm having dinner at Michael's.

Ah, thats just great I suppose. That means I'll be having dinner on my own.

- Do you have a cigarette? - Don't you ever buy your own?

- Come on! I smoke one a month! - Always mine.

Come on come on. Thank you.

- Say "Hi" to your aunt and uncle - OK. Bye.

Oh no!

- Laura? - Yes Madam?

- Would you go now, please? - Alright.

- Benny! - Hi Uncle.

- Hi, how are you? - Fine.

- Are you going to be joining us for dinner? - Yes!

- How's it going? - Well, you?

Not bad. A bit tired.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Hello. - Hi, dear. Michael is in his room.

- I picked up some wine. - Thank you.

- You're late. - I went to see my mother.

She usually calls me and I run over, then she's better. But I'm dead tired after.

- And tonight I have the night shift. - Wasn't it tomorrow night?

- No, tomorrow it's dinner with Massimo. - Oh god, what a drag.

I'd forgotten. Let's use that as an excuse not to go..

- Come on, its only once a month! - We could change restaurants at least

He's taken us us to the same place for 10 years!

- But you like it. The foods great - It should be, for what it costs him.

Your brother certainly loves it though.

When they bring us the wine list, he likes playing at being a connoisseur...

- And do we really want to talk about his missus? - We don't have to talk about her.

- I wonder what she'll wear tomorrow. - Shall we ask Benny?

- Benny! - Yes

It's nothing.

You're being silly!

Oh God, look at this!

- Watch this. - That must be really painful!

What a beating! The other day, I was watching a Jackass.

There was a guy standing there who took about 20 punches in the face!

real hard punches.

- What about the guy who gets electric shocks to the nipples, have you seen that?

- What a complete fool. Anyway, maybe you should try it too. - No thanks.

- I want to see if you've got the guts. go on, try it! - No, maybe you'd like to try it too, instead.

- Watch this! - He's gonna kill him now.

Imagine the pain he must be feeling!

Foods ready. It's on the table.

Coming.

I'm going to the hospital.

- Why, do you feel unwell? - Now that's a funny joke.

What's that you're watching?

It's a show called "Next stop"

Whats that about?

- It's an insane web-series in which they get to beat each other up.

- But it's cool. - Interesting.

- Have you finished your homework? - Yeah

Uh, huh.

I bet.

- Alright. Bye - Bye

I do not understand how this fella we're watching does not end up in a hospital.

Why are you rushing so much?

Michael, Benny, Hurry now!

There is something in the air. A calling.

Look at her run!

Hurry up, it's nine o'clock already.

Outta my way.

Hold on! I happen to be watching something on the telly.

I thought we are supposed to run this house in some democratic manner.

Oh well...

Now, where did I put it?

Please, you're blocking my view!

- I don't see my cellphone. - It's probably in your case!

- Do you know if anyone's seen my cellphone?

You should perhaps watch something else on TV... like the show "A day in court"

- Or "Killer women", for another option. - Well, I happen to think it's great!

- Really? - Yeah. Not bad.

- OK I'm off to work. - OK Bye.

- If they do catch someone on the show give me a call. - Ok.

- Bye. - Bye.

Some news we repeatedly broadcast to you, such as reports of missing persons

We air such news here as soon as we receive such reports.

- Good evening, doctor. - Good evening.

Hey, what are you doing still up at this time?

Mom's snoring and I couldn't get to sleep.

Go straight back to bed the nurse is coming.

- When you take my bandage off. will I be able to see like before?

Much better than before!

If mom snores, go like this to her... and she'll stop.

Come on, go to bed.

Good night.

- Good evening doctor. - Good evening.

Everything went well with the kid who had an aneurysm.

It was the drug or analgesic that caused the reaction.

- I don't understand why they changed it. - We'll have to check into it further.

- And how's Stefano? - Fine, fine

- His mom's sleeping too, at last. I gave her a tranquilizer

- I gave her an anxiolytic. - I'll pretend I did not hear that.

Did I say something I shouldn't have?

Michael, are you there?

Michael? Are you playing?

No, I'm still sick, it still hurts, sir.

If you continue like this playing video games, you'll get cramps in your hand.

Should we find an excuse for tonight?

No.

- Thanks, you're very sweet. - I know, everyone says so about me.

- Anyway, it's absurd. - But it's really important to him.

But not to you.

I pretend.

- Basically it does not cost me anything. - Not you...

Ouch! That hurts!

Do you realize that your brother is an obsessive compulsive maniac?

He's really scary. I swear. I'm petrified to even think about it..

Should I shave off my beard?

What do you say? - That you aren't listening to me speak.

Should I go to the barber's? Shall I have it shaved off? I better not.

You deserve a brother like that!

That bathrobe really suits you.
