Fame chimica

Let's go, Beethoven.

#Burning your face, giving you what you don't need.#

#Chemical hunger, you'll never satisfy it.#

#Chemical hunger, chemical hunger!#

#I see the symptoms in the city...#

#...It burns my face, everyone feels it.#

#It kills our ideas and reasoning.#

#Chemical hunger, chemical hunger!#

#No one's out, just chemical hunger!#

#It's selling on every corner and in a work uniform...#

#...In instalment-paid cars, shirt and tie.#

#Chemical hunger, chemical hunger!#

#People can't sleep thinking about what they don't have.#

#Chemical hunger, chemical hunger!#

#Others can't sleep thinking about losing what they have.#

#Chemical hunger, chemical hunger!#

#No one sleeps tonight, everyone's got the hunger.#

#Chemical hunger, chemical hunger!#

#Tomorrow will be better.#

#Chemical hunger, chemical hunger!#

#There's no today, tomorrow or future plans...#

#...just chemical hunger...#

#...burning your face, it will leave its marks...#

#...everyone has them.#

#Hunger burns me, knocks me out.#

#...it gets worse every step I take back.#

#What you have is what you are.#

#And there's never enough...#

#...the big businessmen know what you want.#

#They tempt the world with their banquet...#

#...and leave the masses outside.#

#But you have to obey...#

#...respect property and freedom...#

#...do what they want and call it "democracy".#

#Chemical hunger and police!#

#Bloody suburban antennas.#

#Chemical hunger and police!#

#Instalments and warranty on dreams.#

#Chemical hunger and police remind you...#

#...stealing is a crime, unless it's embezzlement...#

#...so relax. Yes, relax and buy!#

#Don't use your brain. Look how sexy you are!#

#Chemical hunger, that's it.#

#Burning your face, giving you what you don't need.#

#Chemical hunger, you'll never satisfy it.#

THE MUNCHIES -

(I knew something was going to happen...)

(...but who could have guessed it would end like this?)

THREE DAYS EARLIER -

(An appropriate name considering how far out we are.)

(I learned the ways of the world here.)

(Everyone's talking about Barona these days...)

(because of all the shit that's happening and of the association.)

(I say it's the association that started all the shit.)

We'll show them our signatures...

...they'll know we're serious.

(All thanks to him, Grignani. Our tobacconist, our leader.)

As long as your life isn't affected!

What if they rape your wife or daughter someday?

(...to build a fence that will keep the immigrants out.)

(He thinks they're all drug dealers, of course.)

(Even Zakir, who works his ass off...)

(...but is "guilty" of running the other bar, where the immigrants go.)

(You can get anything here, with or without immigrants:)

(As long as there's demand, there's supply.)

Your family's coming, Fridas!

Who?

Oh, shit!

I knew you were here!

You, bastard! If my brother sees you...

...here every day, you know what he'll do?

(She used to hang out on the benches, then she got pregnant.)

(...they talked about cars, work...)

She's right, Fridas. You got your bike, pedal away!

Go buy your kid some milk, shithead. You want it to starve?

What the fuck are you laughing at? Mind your own business!

(You keep coming here and act like nothing's changed.)

She'd lock me up in the house, if she could.

We're not even thirty yet!

He pissed on my scooter!

Sorry, I didn't notice.

Sorry, my ass!

(So all the morons try and run the place.)

(Like Cuccu, always trying to show off...)

How'd you like me to piss on your house?

(But as long as Manuel's around, no way:)

(...He is the only real boss around here.)

(When he goes out, he reeks of cheap cologne.)

(The coolest wheels, newest Nike's...)

(He says he works on cars, like his dad...)

Aren't you dead yet, loser?

Where were you?

With Cosimo. Where were you? Working again?

Thought you couldn't stand Cosimo?

I have to work. He had tyres for my dad...

Did you charge him double?

If I wasn't born here, I'd be a kick-ass manager now.

Manuel, can I buy a quarter?

See how they set themselves up?

Yeah...

Guess who grabbed me in front of the bar?

Grignani. Until now, he's always hated me.

But today he was all nice asking me...

...if I'm going to the meeting tonight.

You going?

I'm going to cause trouble.

You got your hash. Now beat it.

Too many people for my business...

They bring the stuff with them! The square has to stay clean.

We're okay, we were born here...

...they have to leave.

Whatever, you were born in Porto Empedocle.

I'm splitting.

Come on, don't be an ass.

Since you're here, light this chillum.

Are you tripping?

Hi!

- Do you want some tea? - No, I'm going to the gym.

- Any laundry to wash? - No.

I'm making chicken, what time will you be back?

I'll be back when I'm back. Don't worry about it.

Same time as usual.

I've already got your things ready for the gym.

What did you do today?

Nothing much.

You didn't go out today either?

And go where? I went out to get some bread.

They want me to work...

...at the communist party office two hours a day next week.

How's your job?

Hell, they're slave drivers.

Remember Alberto?

Yes... Hold on a second...

...Recent rise in domestic violence...

...in both couples and parents and children.

62 deaths in the first few months of this year...

...especially in Piedmont and Lazio.

Three suicide-murders... - See you! - Bye.

...in two days in Lombardy: one in Brescia...

- The new trainer is obsessed. - He's a dictator.

- I ache all over when I get out. - Me too.

- You think they're going to build the fence? - Probably...

...no one's protesting.

Where is everyone? We can't be the only ones against it.

We practically are.

We held a rally...

...and no one came but the priest.

Sammy, follow me.

Wait here.

Can I get a beer?

Thanks.

- Plan on staring at me all night? - What?

Never mind.

You're Maja, right?

Yes, have we met?

We went to school together.

Well, I don't remember you.

- Claudio, Claudio Faggiano. - Uh-huh.

You've changed since I last saw you.

This afternoon?

No...

I didn't think Grignani's daughter would hang out in places like this.

No kidding! That's what my father says...

I meant I didn't expect to see you here.

It's better than rotting in Gagarin Square.

But you're not like everyone else. You have plans, right?

You're just waiting for the right chance to chuck it all and start again.

Maja!

Sorry, I have to go.

- Just one squad car? - Yes.

- They come every night now. - The cops are here!

You are always here...

...don't you have anything else to do?

Is this a raid or do you want a drink?

Let's make a deal.

We've got enough trouble with all the niggers.

- Right! - Good.

You guys stay here and be good, and we won't bother you.

But stay off the streets.

- All of you, got it? - Sure!

Or I'll come back and kick your asses out.

Have a good night, we'll be back.

Remember our deal...

...and we'll get on just fine.

Goodbye.

Well, Claudio Faggiano...

...Is it past your curfew?

You know...

...I waited for the right chance but it just didn't happen.

Sorry about earlier but I've had too much to drink.

Can you still drive?
