Death Laid An Egg (La morte ha fatto l'uovo)

DEATH LAID AN EGG

- You have beautiful eyes. - Do you like me?

Why don't you take off your dress?

- Hey, turn around. - I'm too fat, I know.

Nonsense... you are very beautiful.

My leg...

Say it again.

You've got to hug me.

You've got to give me a big hug.

Say that you want to kiss me.

- I want to kiss you. - You have to cover me with your kisses.

Say it again.

Ye s, cover me with your kisses, darling.

Kiss me... kiss me everywhere.

What are you doing?

Mr. Erickson from Stockholm, please report to the reception.

We have a message for you.

Yes.

Mr. Erickson from Stockholm, please report to the reception.

Mr. Erickson, please.

Signor Marco. The new machine arrived today.

The new machine?

The machine from Belgium we were waiting for. They already installed it.

- The machine from Belgium, fine. - You need to sign this, Signor Marco.

- What? - These delivery notes.

Look, they are addressed to you. Here is your name.

Your wife was looking for you.

She said the workers are done.

She called twice, already.

- What was that? - Oh my God!

Did somebody throw it down here?

It was the workers.

No... I don't think so.

Someone left it up there and the vibrations of the machine...

That was no accident.

- But there is no one up there. - What exactly do you mean?

I mean someone did this on purpose.

To put the pliers like this. That it has to fall down.

And it did fall down.

Please, don't get so excited about that.

I also think, somebody did that on purpose. But who?

- They're all hating us! - Who?

The workers. It is obvious.

Your fault, because you couldn't solve the problem.

If you would have talked to them openly, nothing of this would have happened.

Thank God it is finished and we could get rid of them.

There they are.

They hate us. They were always hating us.

Why are they coming back, now that we don't need them anymore?

When will you do something about it?

How unfortunate, a photography is not like a mirror.

- Why? - The photography retains you forever.

You can't change... or pretend.

But you can rip apart a photography.

On this one I'm ugly. Throw it away.

No, you're beautiful. You're absolutely beautiful.

One can't ignore that you are the mistress here.

That's nonsense.

You're so proud and relaxed. That's really like you.

Have a look at this.

There is such a soft spot around your mouth.

Imagine, there was a time when I wanted to be soft.

- What do you mean? - I could have been soft.

But I didn't have the opportunity as you know.

Here you are both very beautiful. Really.

Yes? Well, that's the best photo.

And these? What are these pictures?

These are pictures of the new compounds. The engineer took them.

Have a look. They are quite interesting.

Good promotional material.

See how much we needed the new machine.

It was good that I insisted.

Now we are having the newest technology there is.

- We've got to make a lot of copies. - Yes.

Excuse me, I've got to do a phone call.

Have a look at this one.

Yes.

A moment, please.

- Who is it? - Why did you lock yourself in?

This morning, a young man was here. He wanted to talk to you.

- Who was it? - I don't know. I didn't know him.

I forgot to tell you. He didn't tell me his name.

Didn't you ask him, what he wanted?

He wanted to talk to you. He wanted to go to your office.

Why didn't you ask him?

I had the feeling, he wouldn't tell me. He wanted to see you.

How did he look like?

He was tall...

he was young, blue eyes. Quite a pretty guy.

Maybe some agent.

Yes, maybe.

I saw Gabrille today. In the bathroom. She has a nice body.

Gabrille? Why do you think of her?

She just came to my mind.

It is good to have her around. She is so young and tender.

Untouched... Shapeable like wax.

She is like a puppet you can play with.

You can't see a human being as a toy.

What kind of nonsense is that?

You could ruin a lot, by the way.

Come on... why ruin?

Better say shape... or change.

That's too abstract for me.

There is nothing more concrete than the naked back of that girl.

Her tight legs and her flawless belly.

Her skin that is always tight, no matter how she moves.

Gabrille is a girl you can't shape. Why would you?

It is nice to have her around.

The moments when she laughs... Or when she hides her face in her hair...

She is so young. She is doing it unconsciously.

If you are conscious about something doesn't only depend on you.

I dreamed of her last night.

She was lying on her bed...

not moving, like she was dead.

This is crazy.

That is not true. She was so beautiful.

So tender... and abandoned.

I know it was just a dream.

So we tumble into our dreams. So helpless and full of desire.

Gabri... Gabri...

Come here.

Come, come here.

Gabri...

We are preparing the guest list right now.

Is next Wednesday okay for you?

Yes, but don't invite too many people.

What's better, 9 or 10 o'clock?

- 10 o'clock. - So write, Wednesday at 10 o'clock.

What's the matter? Why don't you write?

- Excuse me. - Are you not feeling well?

It is nothing. I just hadn't enough sleep.

Did something happen?

It is nothing. I...

I just couldn't fall asleep. I had headaches.

I wandered around to find my pills. But I couldn't find them.

So I went to the kitchen and...

You could have called us. Why didn't you do so?

It can be tormenting if you can't fall asleep.

One shouldn't eat so much in the evening.

- Do it like me. - What does that have to do with eating?

Sometimes you think you can't sleep while you are dreaming.

So, how many people do you want to invite?

About twenty, like always.

I hope you didn't forget the people from the company. Can I have a look?

It is quite windy today.

But not the old ones. They are so boring.

What do you think? Gabri thinks we should have a fancy-dress party.

Is that supposed to be a joke?

No, it is quite amusing.

I really don't know...

Aren't we more interesting without masks? What do you think?

Sorry, I have to go now.

I am expected for a meeting at the company.

Now, are we doing it with or without masks?

One shouldn't eat so much in the evening.

- Do it like me. - Sometimes you think you can't sleep...

while you are dreaming.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

I just checked the automatic operation.

- It's working fine. - Yes.

One thing is strange.

Why is the automatic music stimulator not working, yet.

It should be ready.

Seems to be a broken relay.

We need to check all points of synchronicity.

How do you feel without your workers?

Very good.

My wife is providing the machine with feeding stuff.

That is quite easy.

Yes, man is building the machines which will make him redundant one day.

Do you want to stay here?

No, I've got to go back to the city.

There... listen.

Do you realize we just invited couples to the party on Wednesday?

Better say "so-called-couples".

I know them quite well.

Maybe it is inevitable fiction.

- Hey, Anna. - What's up?

Someone else is coming to the party.

Really? Who will that be?

The young man who wanted to talk to Marco yesterday.

He is quite nice and amusing.

I thought he would fit in, don't you think so?

Yes, let him come. I thought he was nice, too.

Tell me the truth, you are bored here around us.

Oh, no...

When I think about the day I'll have to leave you...

What are you talking about? How can you say that?

Sooner or later I will have to go.

Come on... what kind of nonsense is that?

You know, sweetheart... that you will stay with us always.

Do you know how pretty you are?

You are lovely, darling.

But we need to do something with your hair. You should try on some of my wigs.

No, better stay like this, sweetheart.

Like this I like you the most.

I'm late. How's the market?

Nothing out of the ordinary. It is steady now.

Cancel, cancel!

I'm buying, I'm buying!
