Mum...
Hi!
So, you dont kiss me?
Do you offer me something to drink?
A coffee?
Yes.
Come on. Have one too.
Thank You.
You learned how to make coffee.
Yes.
You lost weight.
A bit.
A little bit.
A bit.
She s the one i just saw, the girl you live with?
Yes.
How is she called?
Stella, I told you in the letter.
Ah, yes, i remember.
I have seen..
Yes, well..
You re very close.
I am in love.
Do you like this place?
Yes, i am happy.
You think you re happy, now, as long as it lasts, but after?
What will you do?
You will look for someone to take care of you, as you cant do it by yourself?
Please, stop this kind of speach!
Ah no, ah no, Eleonora, sorry, you havent given any news for 2 years!
You dont give me your phone number or your new address. Nothing!
I am here to help you, OK?
It s why i am here.
Let me talk for a minute!
OK, so?
So, what?
I am just worried.
I am very worried for you.
Are you worried because i am with a woman?
Because i am not dependant on you anymore?
Dont bullshit me!
Or because i am happy at last?
Eleonora, dont speak to me like that, you mind?
I am still you re mother, dont forget it.
...
What?
What are you mumbling?
Look at me.
Eleonora, look at me!
What you re saying?
Nothing, mum.
Let s do like that.
The excuse is the money.
If you want to give it to me, do it, if not, go.
OK.
Thats it. Can you see? Can you see?
You always force me to act as the stupid mother.
What did you think you were doing, hein?
Shock me?
The girlfriend, the petrole statio...
But do you realise?
You dont realise that...
Listen, i dont know what to do with you anymore. You understand?
And these little glasses?
These little lesbian glasses you wear, are they of any use?
Do you manage to see this shit?
That s the reason you stop college?
To come here and become a lesbian petrol pump assistant?
Go away.
Yes, i am going, but you come with me.
Stand up and dont cry.
Dont cry!
We are going in a clean place, you re going to have a wash, and then we will talk quietly. You understand?
Leave me.
No i wont let you go.
Now you come with me, understood?
Let me go.
But why are you forcing me to do that?
Leave me alone. Go!
Leave me alone!
Stop! I tell you to stop!
Move!
