THE FINAL JUDGEMENT
At six, the Final Judgement ...
... will begin!
What'd that voice say?
"The Last Judgement will begin at six."
"The Final Judgement will begin at six."
It must be an ad!
The final judgement will begin at six!
Long live his excellency!
The citizenry is grateful...
for being graced with your presence...
...at the big gala for the unemployed.
The final judgement begins at six!
It came from over there.
No, from there.
No way, from over there!
What a pretty ruby!
The final judgement will begin at six!
Hi there.
The final judgement will begin at six!
Wait... what?
I was expecting you'd come later on.
I've still got to wash up, shave...
...and clip my nails.
I'll wait; I'll wait.
By the way... first we're going to the movies.
Giorgio, His Excellency has arrived.
I'll introduce you to him.
Thank you. Thank you. Thanks a lot.
Trust me, Giorgio.
You'll get the job and pay that you deserve.
Tell him who I am and how good I am.
Confidence, Giorgio.
Irene, Gianni's here.
Gianni's here!
There're a couple newspapers over there.
Pick one yourself, but hurry up, will ya?
- Good day. - Good day, ma'am.
I lost my heart to you.
One day it found its match...
One day... it went mad.
I'm living out this passion, ...
... o, my soul.
I've lost everything; even sleep, ...
... o, what great happiness.
Will my lady be attending the gala tonight?
It depends; maybe so.
Are you from Paris?
Kinda.
All the way! 100%!
You like it here in Italy?
I love it!
I came to learn about Art.
Art!
Above all art from the 16th century.
- And the 15th? - And the 17th.
I prefer art from the 15th and 18th centuries.
Also art from the 14th century, but only partially...
I told you I wanted it with milk.
Excuse me, but you said with lemon.
Think I can't tell the difference between lemon and milk?
As you like, sir.
No, as I like! Me! Idiot!
I'm no idiot.
When you can't tell the difference between lemon and milk...
...you're an idiot.
Idiot!
Excuse me, but you're the idiot.
He called me an idiot.
- Didn't he...? - He certainly did.
He said it first, I swear.
I'm not asking you!
Speak, mr. Ambassador, sir.
Democracy pleases me...
...but let's not exaggerate.
Exactly, your excellency. Let's not exaggerate.
The ambassador clearly said milk... milk.
White milk!
Antonio, since this is how it is, you're fired.
Wait, what? You're firing me?
This incident has been resolved.
Lemon for the ambassador.
Right away.
No! Milk!
Milk! Milk!
The final judgement begins at six!
But... is this really the last judgement?
For sure!
Well, then I guess we should consider ourselves dead already.
It's a trial. Everyone will be tried, one by one.
-Yeah? Who's the judge? -The eternal father.
And then you kick the bucket.
If you've done dirty deeds, straight to hell.
My God! Without any warning?
Just like that? All of a sudden?
Oh, come on! It's just some idiot putting one over on us.
No way..! That voice is coming from on high!
The lady's right. Look at that cloud...
There's gotta be an airplane with loudspeakers on it behind there.
Couldn't it be some kind of rocket in orbit or something?
Nope, can't be that... those make a "beep, beep, beep" noise.
The final judgement will begin at six!
- It's saint Januarius! - Aw, that ain't no saint Januarius...!
You're dreaming...
Hello there, Mateo.
- I was looking... - Still wearing that beanie, eh?...
Are you modest or just cheap?
Who, me?
Come on, man, get yourself a proper hat.
Your hat's your crown!
Be realistic, Coppolo.
...While we're on the subject; give it to me straight, as always:
...How do I look?
Huh?
Oh, just fine, just fine.
Pardon me... may I?
See?
Perfect!
You seem taller.
Keep it. It's yours.
But come on, a hat like this...
...requires a certain kind of a tie, a finer suit...
No, don't take it off, now. There you go.
I'm going through some tough times.
I've become...
You've always gone against the grain.
Remember? "Don't get married..."
And now look at you, a wife, all those kids...
"Don't mess with politics..."
And you're all about it now...! Politics, politics...
Will I see you at the dance tonight?
I'm not into dancing.
I'm all good...
You watch too much TV, man.
Me, I can't. The doc says it's no good for me.
You're sitting there eating, and look over there...
...bombs, corpses...
I don't have a TV.
OK, well, give me a call, will ya?
I don't have a phone.
It doesn't matter, I'll call you.
But...
Hooligans!
Murderers!
Criminals!
- What's going on - They're peltin' em with tomatoes.
Mr. President, I'm innocent!
For a false title of "knight"...
... he got 100 grand.
for a false title of commander ...
... 150,000.
200,000, Mr Prosecutor.
For a title of High Official, 250,000.
Isn't that right?
No, for a knight.
Put down "High Official".
Just knight. I don't look enough like a High Official.
Look at all his victims...
Good people, family men.
Upstanding citizens..
- Rip off artist! - Poet...!
They were living sad, disillusioned lives.
They'd waited a long time to have someone give them a little respect...
... just a little word with some honor to it.
Something like "Cap'n", ...
... "Sir", "Com", "Gra-cro".
Great Cross.
Like a fairy!
The neighbors waved, "Hello there, sir..."
They'd take off their hats.
They'd kiss your hand even, right?
They were the best days of his life, gentlemen of the court.
All over the place...
... you'd hear "Sirs", "Cap'ns", "Coms" y "Gra-cros".
In the plazas and streets they'd never seen...
... a real "High Official"
Absolve Pasquale Ruocco!
So he can go to the big dance for the unemployed
and make his modest, but useful contribution ...
... to those who only have one word to put after their names ...
... "jobless."
Mr President, Esteemed Judges ...
There's a big, booming voice ...
... saying that the Last Judgment is going to begin at six.
Gentlemen of the Court, my client ...
... will face it in all serenity.
one, two, three.
Mr. Andrea...
one, two, three.
The important thing is to do it smoothly, not all of a sudden.
so...
Legs together.
They'll be cheering for you this afternoon.
What's that?
Everyone says they're evil.
They've got letters of recommendation.
- Will you give me some caramel? - They're taking advantage of the fact that we're having elections today.
It's a kind of indirect fraud.
One day a guy comes in here crying, see?
It turned out that before he showed up...
... He'd rubbed onions all over his eyes.
One day a guy comes in with a big long beard...
... and says:
"I am very hungry".
And falls down on the floor.
So I went into the kitchen and I brought him half a chicken.
He dug right in.
And then he says, all calm now:
"Got any salt?"
This guy's healthy as can be.
I'll go.
I sure am hot...
- Is it from the north or south? - Right downtown.
- Do you have your card? - Of course.
- Do me a favor? - Sure.
Go down and run up the stairs.
What's going on?
At six the last judgment will begin!
Ms. Matteoni ...
It's been a half hour already since we heard it last.
My God! Are we at war?
No one's doing anything about it? What kind of men...!
What about the police?
But... the radio? The pope??
They're broadcasting songs.
- Songs? - Yep.
Did you hear that?
Everything's normal here. Calm down, stay calm.
Stay calm!
Bring the champagne, Stefano.
See that, my love? They're singing in Rome.
They're scientific experiments, Mister Matteoni.
Of course, my man. The world goes on.
- Listen to my heart. - You want to hear mine?
Come on, come here; it's the TV.
We have to call the bishop.
Must be a toothpaste ad.
I'll never use that junk!
Look, look!!
Dear viewers...
My dearest ...
See? It's nothing.
Let's give thanks to God!
My friends: what hand did I hide the little ball in?
I'll count to ten.
one ...
... two ...
... three ...
In the left.
a thousand bucks says it's in the right.
- Me too, a grand. - I'll go with that.
... seven, eight, nine... ten!
The right hand.
Pay, Matei, pay up.
Miss ...
My turn?
You have a little note here...
A note?
Yes, a note.
- Who's it for? - For you.
For me?
Yes, for you!
Toss it up.
Thank you, Mister Duke.
Thanks for remembering.
Got a pencil?
Giovanna wants to say hi.
The duke sent us some tickets for admission.
Tell him you'll be forever grateful.
Big hug, duke.
You have to say: "Pleased to meet you".
Thanks again.
Just a sec.
We're so moved.
Happy easter.
But there's still two more months left before it!
Better hurry it up.
What's the last judgement?
I dunno. End of the world I think.
What's the end of the world?
We all die.
What for?
What for!?
Me too?
No, no, not you.
And mom?
and Giovanna?
and dad?
Sir ...
Kind sir ...
... if what you have to say to me...
... is urgent, you can tell me this afternoon ...
... at the big dance.
The kid's not dumb!
The Last Judgement Begins at six!
Well, men, first of all, I don't believe ...
... in this stupid joke.
All I know is that the children...
... will have to go to America.
Got the list?
Sorrentino, Giuseppe.
Here.
The little posters?
Who else?
Giovanni Variale.
Are you nuts?
The last judgment begins at six!
Come now, Don't you start too.
This isn't a cruise.
I'm working.
The kids have to embark. We've got no time to lose.
Do it for the kids.
Let's be kind.
De Rosa, Salvatore.
Come on, don't cry. Shut up, dammit!
Nobody gets hit around here.
The kid was purchased healthy and he has to stay that way.
Come on, De Rosa, come on handsome boy.
Don't cry, don't be that way.
Carloni, Pasquale.
Which boat is leaving?
- Better off in a plane. - Come on already!
Shit!
Carloni isn't here.
He didn't come, doctor.
He didn't come?
Didn't he show up on the bus?
He must've ditched.
What's that?
They don't want to anymore.
What do you mean? What about the contract?
He signed it a month ago.
And now he doesn't want to?
There's a fixed quota for children.
I'll send the seven!
That's the deal.
Be humble...
... But can't you be serious?
Don't act ridiculous in front of everyone.
Which phone is yours?
What, like you have a phone!
If you had one you wouldn't be poor.
- Miss Davis. - yes?
Bring the kids up onto the boat and get going.
Whatever happens, don't lose anyone.
Candy for everyone!
Be good kids. I'll be right back
Obey Miss Davis in all matters.
Be careful.
We're off to the big dance.
We're going to have a really fun night, my love.
I had to go today, but I'm staying.
I renounce all my sacred and important duties.
Ask me whatever you want.
Whatever you think is right.
Ask whatever...
- ... anything. - Anything?
Anything.
- Where are you from? - Torreannunziata.
- What do you do for a living? - History professor.
Let me think...
But look who he is!
It's been centuries since we last saw each other!
No, you're mistaken...
No I'm not.
Just look at you! look how you've done yourself up.
The last judgment begins at six!
It was all going so well...
she was smiling at me, talking to me...
The girls sure like you!
They'll stick you!
And who are you?
You don't remember?
In the war.
What war?
The war!
I wasn't in the war.
Come on, man, don't be so modest.
I didn't go to war.
Well.. it sure seemed to me...
You look just like a guy I know.
He must have died.
Hey, did you see that? What a pair of legs!
Run, run, ... please!
I'll pay you if I find her. Run!
Here we are in a vast, very depressed area...
... where there are a lot of citizens with no roof over their heads, ...
... and no culture.
But isn't that typical...
... everywhere, all over the world?
Sirs ...
... I can assure you that in this country ...
... this will come to an end within ten years.
Excellency, couldn't it be possible within nine years?
Let's look at the reality in an objective, statistical way...
...adding up the number of inhabitants ...
But out there universal things happen.
...adding up the number of inhabitants ...
...and dividing by 18 and sometimes, by 19 ...
I said the truth, I have seven kids.
I have seven too...
...and another on the way.
I need one porter,...
... not two.
Did you get that?
Mine are smarter and they suffer more.
what about me?
Recite the poem for the man.
Recite it to the nice man.
"Lady love ...
... infuse a feeling...
... of peace and vigor in my heart.
How solemn!.."
Enough! Get out of here!
Out! Get out!
I can't take any more!
Go home.
Get 'em off me!
Out! Get out! Get out of here!
Everyone out
Go! Go! Out!
Go home!
Get out of here!
Go watch TV ...
... everything's got to be real clean! Out!
Get them out of here!
I can't concern myself with your children.
I just have one job.
Shut up.
- What's going on? - There's a voice.
- What voice? - Coming from there...
- From where? - From the sky!
Earlier, I came from Via Giaia.
If you ask me it's some kinda joke.
It's over, my friend! Viva!
Shut up, dammit!
You're an agitator.
What do I care?
Do I have to put up with this nose for another 10 or 20 years?
We aren't all going to pay for your nose.
Fuck your nose, man!
I knew it. No one cares.
You're all a bunch of dirty egoists.
Watch your mouth.
Shameless!
Come down here! Get down! Come here, quick!
The last judgment begins at six!
How can it be?
The last judgment begins at six!
Hold yourself up here, please.
My God! Could it be true?
Yes, it's true.
What do we do? Laugh? Cry?
Who knows?
Let's go for "pizza", I mean let's go to the plaza.
- To the theater. - To the hospital.
I got an idea.
Since when?
since just now.
Since when?
for a year.
For a year...
... minus five days.
365 days ...
She said: "good day".
And I answered: "good day, my dear".
"Put this wool jersey on".
"Yes, my love".
My god!
365 days!..
I laughed happily ...
... and they kissed.
Kiss!
I heard your footsteps in the hall.
You came to tear me apart.
The last judgment begins at six!
Gentlemen, hey!..
At six ...
Get away!
... The last judgement begins!
I was reading over here ...
... and her over here.
"What would you like to have for dinner, my dear?"
"You decide".
Poor me!
"A chicken wing, my dear?"
My dear...
Darling...
It wasn't true...
It wasn't true!
We don't use tomatoes, they make us a little ill.
We're like little canaries; we just eat semolina and milk.
Pardon me, Sr. Admiral.
good day.
Wait for me, jerk!
Even now you're not kind.
Alright, OK...
Let's go to the terrace.
and see what we can see through the telescope.
Is mom here?
Is dad here?
Ah, the house!
Can we?
If you please.
Got any tomatoes in the house?
What'd you do that for?
Why'd you hit me with that tomato?
I wanna know why!
Come on, be good.
Why'd you throw a tomato at me?
Come on
The last judgment begins at six!
If you won't tell me I'm not moving from this spot.
But... come on, kids!
Here we are playing dumb, and the Last Judgement's on its way.
Well, so what?
I wanna get this thorn out.
My honor...
is ruined.
- hit him! - hit him!
- They'll all hear. - You're one brave guy!
Thanks, I just need a hand.
Buttons!
Where'd you put them? Pass me the gloves.
This is the last time I'll go to Napoli.
It's fear, Mister.
You believe that?
These days anything's possible.
I'm going back to Milan, milady.
Hey kid!
I want to know the truth.
I want to know.
Where's the director?
We were ordered to go on taking care of the clients.
But I'd like to find out...
Shut up, John; the money's going to America.
Let's go.
hit him! hit him!
This is Radio Paris broadcasting across the globe...
... we're here to inform you ...
... that an unidentified voice ...
... has announced that at six ...
...the last judgement will begin.
But... the ambassador must know what's going on.
We're always the last to know, ma'am.
I think this is all my fault.
Because I came to Italy to see the statues ...
... but I'm really here with a man.
Like a slut!
don't put yourself down, ...
... Ma'am.
don't be so hard on yourself.
aren't you scared?
Not of God, ma'am.
The last judgment begins at six!
at six...
... I'll throw myself out the window.
Cossima ...
... cocaine.
just a pinch ...
you forget everything.
Ms. Carmela, that's my shirt.
No, it's mine!
I'm telling you, it's mine.
I'm taking it 'cause it's mine.
"And uniting with the sky,
and passing through the streets to the sea,
a voice,
a sweet voice.
Let us sing one more verse,
So that this music,
may never die".
don't worry about it, the wind will blow it all away.
damn your soul!
"oh this woman shall cry no more..."
I like funerals that have music.
"And, uniting with the sky..."
My son, were you scared?
Not me, mom.
That guy's singing.
It's nothing, don't be scared.
Dad's asleep.
Are you hungry? thirsty? Want an orange?
No, mom, I gotta get dressed.
- Whose is that? - Salvatore's.
I'm off to the Big Dance
The big dance?
Yes, my son, go to the dance, have fun.
What are you lookin for?
I need a pair of shoes. good looking, shiny, black ones.
Where's the money from?
Enough already with the music!
I'll make em like new.
No, mom, they'll notice.
I know where to get em real cheap...
... just 3 bucks.
My god!
Oh god!
We've only got 5 bucks in the house.
I gotta pay rent.
Should we wake him up?
He works the night shift.
Let him sleep.
Anyway, he doesn't believe in that kind of stuff.
The last judgment begins at six!
Mama Rosa, this shirt's mine.
Give it to me, please.
"In Marechiaro, when the moon comes out in Ma-re-chiaro..."
The last judgment begins at six!
A year and three months.
Men, let's sign.
let's see if we look like fools when six rolls around.
come on, what're you talking about?
the tribunal!
Let's recap a bit more.
The general director of the TV station has invited three important personages ...
... in the worlds of science and politics.
they'll be giving their opinion...
... on the phenomenon that has captured the world's attention.
professor Mariani, from our university.
professor Piani, From the scientific institute.
senator Gustavi, member of the Academy.
but they didn't come.
The genital directors of the TV ...
Excuse me!
The General Directors of the Union ...
... of Genita-vision ...
uh, of television!
please excuse me...
"We interrupt this broadcast due to technical difficulties"
Bring him here.
he's too sensitive.
What'll they do with the thieves?
I knew this had to happen.
calm down, Letizia!
-see how calm I am? -quiet!
Excuse me...?
I'm waiting for an answer.
The last judgment begins at six!
I don't wanna hear that voice anymore!
My dear Letizia ...
I wanna be deaf.
It's all my fault.
I should have told you:
"I'm fine with just a little handwarmer."
"I'll give up the mink and the yacht".
"I'll give up the mansion".
Then you wouldn't have stolen anything, my dearest.
But... my love...
... what strange things you're saying!
Yes, my love, you sinned for my sake...
... robbed, cheated, bribed, speculated ...
- Shut up! - Embezzlement, ...
... illegal conversions, corruption.
No.. shut up!
usurpation, ...
... defamation, mortification, ...
... falsification, lying...
...corruption!
Carloni!
what are they saying downtown, sir?
- about what? - the Judgement.
What are you asking that for? It's the last judgement.
Mister, is 18:00 six?
yeah, that's six.
and look out, these guys are punctual.
- so it's for sure? - yep; are you scared?
Mister, this one's fainted.
Excuse me.
what happened, Ms Carloni?
He's a cute kid but bad.
Ms Carloni, the organization I represent ...
... doesn't allow me to be incorrect.
I'm gonna lose my job cause of you.
Please... don't bug me.
I put the kid with the Williams family in Cincinnati.
One just doesn't do such things.
You know where the kid's going?
To a house where he can eat every day.
they've got a black servant lady, a maid, a pool, and monkeys.
the monkeys jump around from tree to tree.
you like monkeys?
If there weren't so many of them... if they had a father...
...this wouldn't happen.
you signed, so you can't go back on it now.
my dear lady ...
... Luckily, in America they like our kids.
let's act like we deserve the privilege.
otherwise they're gonna pass us up and get little black kids or Chinese kids ...
... they're cheaper.
The Williams, see, they're very caring.
here's their house.
garden and pool.
the white monkey with the long tail.
the well-trained black servant.
Pasqualino ...
... you can trust this man; he's a good person.
I love you very much.
do you hear me, Pasqualino?
He's like dad.
Very well, Madam.
you may call me dad.
You can trust em, you know?
- you can write to them every day... - I don't know how to write.
Good bye, madam, and thank you for your understanding.
come on.
let's go.
Excuse me. Pardon me.
excuse me.
Pardon me.
The last judgment begins at six!
Maltese coffee!

Maltese coffee!

- I like the ladies. - You do well with em.
You have a good heart.
but i'm a widower.
so what are you worried about?
since when?
since yesterday.
just yesterday and here I am running after the ladies...
don't be like that...
don't get bitter, what the hell!
nature is like that. It's natural.
tomorrow, if we're still alive ...
... when I go into my classroom I'll tell my students...
...that the truth must be taught in the schools.
that the truth must be known and practiced, starting with me.
I'm such a pig!
it's all very noble, what you're saying...
... but I've gotta go. I got a family, kids, ...
... real little kids. I gotta see em.
See ya, Gaetano.
Giovanni!
What's up?

I was in the war with you.
i'll give you whatever you want, just don't leave me.
don't leave me!
Your attention please!
Attention! Attention...
Now we must give an example of total control...
...of our nerves.
Citizens, ...
...at this special moment, ...
... an important personage...
...is a guest here in Napoli, our beloved city.
Citizens, you know how much he means...
...to the life of our nation.
Since I was a child...
I never even killed a fly.
All I think of is art.
It's true.
Have no fear. the artists will be saved,
children and artists will be saved.
...gotta go all the way... gotta be comprehensive...
We've all got our faults.
for instance, ...
...you're suspicious.
that's not true.
Look at the little electric machine.
Just a shady guy like you could plan out something like that.
i didn't plan it, i swear.
- I didn't plan it. - Pay no attention, Giorgio.
What's that compared to infinity?
Giorgio, be humble.
look how you've mussed your hair.
There's a guy out there that wants to talk to you.
How much time is left?
Twenty minutes.
All appointments are delayed til after the last judgement.
- So? - We've got to wait for the judgement.
Dammit!
Sweet momma! Baby!
Were you afraid?
Be calm.
Come on, smile, nothing's wrong.
are you the collector?
No, ma'am, I'm the tomato guy.
your kid threw a tomato at me.
my love! what did you do that for?
that's it! ask yourself.
I want to know why.
Don't waste tomatoes, my child.
I'll leave him alone; I gotta work. The porter lady'll watch him...
I'll never leave you alone again. Your mommy will never leave you.
Look how scared he is.
The last judgment begins at six!
What are the kids painting there?
Don't touch it, it's mine!!
I don't know who it's gonna be, but I'm gonna poke someone's eyes out.
Ma'am I just want to know why he did it.
Tell mommy why.
My dearest.
Whisper in my ear.
You sure look nice!
You need a button. You break everything.
Come here, my son. You can tell mom.
Don't make that face.
No one's going to touch you.
Imagine that.
Smile for me, my dearest.
"Obey mom or the boogeyman will get you".
That's it, good.
Open your heart to mommy.
Come on, tell me in my ear.
What?
Yeah, but what did you do?
Tell mom how you did it. Show me.
Excuse me... but the child says...
Say it, say it.
That you were walking...
I was walking...
That you were walking along ...
...going like this.
Understand?
I don't get it.
Furthermore he's lying. If he's lying he's a thief.
He's just a little kid.
A bad future's in store for him.
- What can I do for him? - That's a bad family!
excuse me.
Pardon me.
Vacation! we're on vacation!
The last judgment begins at six!
hey kid!
kid!
I have to ask you to forgive me.
Pardon me.
Why?
If we aren't sincere now, when will we be?
I always envied you.
not for your smarts; you're not too smart...
I was jealous of your well-being. I wanted you to be mute.

... I wanted you to die, pop! dead!
look man, i'm better now, ok.
I'll go face the last judgement...

Long live the last judgement!
Where'd I put it?

We couldn't educate them.
I hope they find you sweeping.
Then when will I get ready?
What dance are you talking about? No one's going to any dance.
Not even the duke.

It was just a moment.
My wife was complaining.
She's seven months.
She gets a bad impression...
...From all those magazines.
It's so easy to get an abortion!
I always tell him:
"She shouldn't read, the little creature shouldn't read anything".
I just showed you a couple photos.
The one with Kruschev.
All handsome and smiling.

And then the one of Kennedy.
Looked pretty normal, with a little girl holding hands with him.
They won't be able...
I just always dream...
Nightmares.
Yesterday she dreamt ...
...she was breastfeeding the future baby...
And suddenly i heard something like a siren.
And the baby exploded In my arms, the poor thing.
one arm ended up in a tree.
Why should he be born?
Calm down, nothing's wrong.
They're people like us, they won't do anything stupid.
- right??

You could explain better.
It's been explained.
- He's gone. - Must have gotten pissed off.
Hang on a minute...
yes, he's gone.
-What do we do now? -What's going on?
-did he change his mind?
What if it's not the last judgement, but, I don't know ...
... -the flood?
-What, has there been a change of plans?
It's over, he's gone.
But i had so much to tell him.
I had to read him this list of things, look.
-The first. -The last.
Don't say stupid things. That stuff's from the gospels.
The first.
More of your silliness. -Wouldn't you rather see the sun?
This is the final flood.
-wait, did you say flood?
i'm leaving.
We live in a basement. my family will be all drowned.
The little one with water up to his neck...

Don't be that way.
I agree with you.
Certain things you just don't do.
I promise i won't do it again.

good day.
-Where you going, Miss?
I was just taking a walk.
-may I accompany you?

If you've got something to say, say it now.
It's hard with all this water.

They say it won't end.
- You think so? - Don't you?
no, not me.

Pardon me, I'm all emotional.
Cry, don't be ashamed, you're a man aren't you?
It's beautiful, even.
Take your card.
-Are we sure it's all over with now?
