Shock (Schock)

Put it near the piano.

- The trunk too? - Yes.

- Where is the piano, sir? - To your right.

Just leave them there, I'll take care of them later.

Gee, this weighs a ton. Must be books.

Why don't you use the Dolly, dummy?

Cos you grabbed it first, damn it.

Marco! Marco, where are you?

Oh, there you are.

Marco, that's my name.

Come along now. Your lunch is ready.

Here I come, mama.

You've been hiding from mama. Didn't you hear me call you?

- Mama? - Yes, dear?

Is this my house?

Of course. It's mine, therefore it's yours.

Are we gonna live here forever?

Who can tell?

Now, run along and eat your lunch. It's already in the kitchen.

Ah, there's that box of silvennare.

Anything else in the Van?

Nothing much, sir. Tony is taking care of it.

- Here's some more. - Oh, good.

No, put them there, please.

And take this one, too. Put them in the corner by the steps there.

Yes, sir.

- What about this one? - Yes, that one...

Hey, rubinstein, why don't you play something?

Er... there's still a big case of stuff in the hall. Where do I put it?

Oh, that'll be the dishes. Yeah... take them to the kitchen, will you?

- Be careful now. - Yes, sir. Don't worry.

Marco? Is that you down there in the cellar?

Yes, it's full of neat old furniture.

It is, eh? Well, how do you like your new house?

Are we gonna live here forever?

Well, that's difficult. For some time, anyway.

For the rest of our lives?

Thatdepends on how much we like it.

Why are you so concerned?

Uh... only in case anyone asked me.

- Thank you again. Goodbye. - Thank you.

- Ma'am. - Goodbye.

Let's roll, Tony.

Good luck, lady.

What is this, you're getting nervous already?

It's only me.

Seven years is a very long time, you know.

Yes, I know. But for an instant, I had a strange sensation...

Shh-shh-shh. Dora, you're forgetting our pact.

Bruno, are you coming out or not?

I said I'd fix up a swing for him.

- Are you coming too? - Oh, I have our dinner to fix.

You also promised me not to ovennork yourself.

Look, you'll have a maid at the end of the month.

Relax, don't worry. Everything's gonna be alright.

- You coming? - I'll join you in a little while.

Ok, good.

Oh, there you are. Good boy.

Well, the first thing we have to do is find a strong branch.

- This one here. - Yeah, it looks alright.

Oh, it's strong enough.

Is it? Well, you come on down and I'll have a look.

Go on, now.

Come on, let's put it up now. Put it up.

- That there! - This one?

- Yes, that one there. - Yeah, seems strong enough.

Do you like that?

Higher!

Hey, you've got it up already.

Go on, Marco up. Up we go! Up, that's the boy!

Oh, mama, look at me.

Oooh!

- Now it's your mother's turn. - Oh, yeah.

Yes, get on, mama.

Come on, Marco, push.

Oh, my god! I forgot the dinner! I hope it's alright.

That's enough for now. Come on, let's get there before it burns.

Hurry!

Now finish your apple.

- I'm full. - Oh, just one more bite.

Eat up.

Now that we have a garden, can I have a dog?

A police dog. Or maybe a collie if it's not too big.

Can I have a dog with long hair like mommy's?

Well, that's flattering.

Well, we'll see. Come on, it's getting late.

Long past your bedtime, young man. Go on.

- Oh... - Do as you're told, dear.

But I'm on vacation.

Be a good boy now, Marco. Off to bed, you're sleeping on your feet.

Oh, shucks! Ok, I'm going.

- Night. - Night.

Mama, can I keep the light on?

Alright, but just for tonight.

I could use that. He's sleeping at last.

Good. It's not cut crystal.

Anyway...

- Cheers. - To us.

Perfect.

I'm sorry I was so nervous earlier.

I know it's a long time since Carlo's suicide, but...

Coming back to this house where we lived together

it's like reopening a period of my life.

Anyway, I feel much better now.

With you at my side, I feel sure that's all behind us now.

And Marco is going to be very happy here.

Oh, you've been so good to him, like a father.

- He's very fond of you. - Mm.

- Maybe more of you than of me. - Besides, it would have been silly

to have sold a house like this so near the airport.

Why don't you give me a kiss?

Oh, dear.

Where are you going on this trip?

Oh... New York.

We layover in Baltimore of all places.

You're always flying off just when I need you.

You're wonderful, Bruno.

Pigs. Pigs. Pigs.

Pigs!

You can't catch me.

Oh, yes, I will. I'm coming after you.

Watch out.

I'm the wicked witch of the forest. I'm going to catch you if you don't watch out.

- And I will eat you up! - No!

There, I caught you!

Help. Help, let me up.

What do you say to our visiting the park, Marco?

Oh, yeah!

I'll take you with me and no one will be able to save you.

No you won't, you ugly ghost.

I'm a queen and my soldiers will arrest you and lock you in the old tower.

Hahaha, no one can arrest me because I'm a ghost, I'm invisible.

But I can see you.

Because I want you to, but only you can see me.

Now you must obey my orders and come away with me to the land of darkness.

No, no. Never! I don't want to.

Oh, dear, help me. Somebody!

Come with me, and you and I will reign in the kingdom of ghosts.

I will teach you black magic.

You will ride on the wings of a bat and a black cat will scratch...

Let's go now, this is where we came in.

- No, wait. - Oh, but doesn't it scare you?

You won't be able to sleep tonight. Mm-hmm.

Oh, boy, it's fantastic.

- Mama. - What's the matter, dear?

Are you tired? Hungry? Let's go home now.

- No, it's not that. - Well, what is it, then?

Why doesn't my real daddy ever come back to see me?

Look, Marco, you're old enough now to understand, I think.

You know your father was a man who liked to travel a great deal.

He loved airplanes, ships, sail boats, and he loved to visit faraway places.

Well... one day he went on one of his voyages and never came back.

Your daddy is dead, Marco.

What is death, mama?

Death is like going on a trip, darling, only one doesn't come back.

One goes away forever.

But we will keep daddy alive within us.

But why did he die, mama?

Why? Oh, baby, it's hard to explain.

Death is part of live and we must learn to accept it.

You'll understand some day.

What are you doing up at this hour?

Mama, can I sleep with you tonight? Please?

A big boy like you and you still wanna sleep with your mama.

Please.

Alright. Just for tonight though.

Oh!

- Uh-uh. - What's the party for?

It's not a party. Not in the sense you mean.

- Some friends are coming to visit. - How come?

Just to get together again. We haven't seen each other for a long time.

- I don't like them. - You don't like them?

Marco, how can you say that if you don't even know them?

What about Bruno? When is he coming back?

Today. I hope it will be a nice surprise for him.

The motors are off. Bruno!

Hi, Marco.

Bruno! Bruno!

- Well, big boy, how are you? - I'm fine.

Have you been having fun while I was away?

Been taking care of your mother for me?

Yes, but now that you're here, you've got to stay with me

and play with me more often.

Here, this is for you.

Oh, no, that's not it. You can't fool me.

Alright, then. If that's not your present, what is it?

I know. I know what it is.

Hi, darling. I missed you.

Where is it, Bruno? Where is it?

- Where's what? - The dog.

Would you believe that? Well, you're gonna have to wait for it.

They're sending it to you from New York.

Oh, boy, I'm getting a dog! I'm getting a dog!

- There you are, Eva. - Thanks.

- Are you alright? - Yes, dear.

Oh, if you want some others, I have lots of them.

There they are, over there. Right.

- Analisa. - Oh, dora, darling.

- Will you have a drink? - Thanks.

You're looking just wonderful. Isn't she, paolo?
