1. THIS WORLD CAN'T TEAR ME DOWNCopy !req
2. They're killing us!Copy !req
3. killing us!Copy !req
4. Hey, buddy!Copy !req
5. We all have one sworn mortal enemy
that stays in our life forever.Copy !req
6. Like France and England
in the 100 Years' War.Copy !req
7. Mine was Simon the moron.Copy !req
8. This resentment was born
from a simple misunderstanding.Copy !req
9. One Saturday, we were at Eugenia's house,Copy !req
10. where all the parties were held
because she had a huge living roomCopy !req
11. and her parents didn't give a shit.Copy !req
12. We were doing something
that was similar to studying,Copy !req
13. possibly even perfecting
Isaac Newton's theory of gravity.Copy !req
14. We were throwing wet toilet paper
from the sixth floor.Copy !req
15. The most normal thing in the world.Copy !req
16. But that day,
it wasn't normal toilet paper.Copy !req
17. It was the Roll of Destiny.Copy !req
18. ROLL OF LONGINUS
FATUMCopy !req
19. So, with the precision of a sniperCopy !req
20. that only destiny could have,Copy !req
21. perhaps guided by God himselfCopy !req
22. or the Virgin Mary
of Toilet Rolls of San Vito Chietino...Copy !req
23. I hit Simone Luchetti,Copy !req
24. known sore loser from Tiburtino,
square in the head.Copy !req
25. A feud began that extended into our crews.Copy !req
26. Almost every Saturday,
we'd provoke each other, fight,Copy !req
27. look at each other with suspicion,Copy !req
28. make truces and then break themCopy !req
29. because we were dickheads.Copy !req
30. A huge mess that went on and on.Copy !req
31. There was this constant tensionCopy !req
32. since neither party was militarily ableCopy !req
33. to put a definitive end to it.Copy !req
34. Until Cesare came along.Copy !req
35. Cesare was the atomic bomb
that compelled everyone to stay quiet.Copy !req
36. The ultimate deterrent.Copy !req
37. With Cesare,
I felt like the driver of Steel Jeeg.Copy !req
38. Nothing can scare you when you're driving
an 800-ton giant made of steel.Copy !req
39. Of course, there was a question
that popped into my head sometimes.Copy !req
40. Why you, of all people?Copy !req
41. Doesn't it seem odd that someone
bigger and crazier than anyoneCopy !req
42. has made it their mission to protect you?Copy !req
43. I've thought about it.Copy !req
44. Maybe it's because I give him
the one thing he can't get himself.Copy !req
45. A space where even an 800-ton robotCopy !req
46. can show its weaknesses,
from time to time.Copy !req
47. TO MY FRIENDS
DON MATTEOCopy !req
48. Let me explain.Copy !req
49. I didn't know Cesare's friends that well.Copy !req
50. They were older and ran in other circles.Copy !req
51. Coffee shops, testosterone,
coke, and slot machines.Copy !req
52. A slice of humanity
with emotional intelligenceCopy !req
53. that deviates
from romanticism in literature.Copy !req
54. Danielino tells me you like Marzia.Copy !req
55. Are you an idiot?
I don't like her, I just fucked her.Copy !req
56. Well done! "Fucking" is for men,
"liking" is for fags.Copy !req
57. And "love" is for women.Copy !req
58. Let's say that,
in the suburban food chain,Copy !req
59. they were the predators
at the top of the pyramid.Copy !req
60. Showing weakness meant being downgraded
and getting mauled.Copy !req
61. Understandably,
Cesare adapted to that standard.Copy !req
62. But with me, he could be different.Copy !req
63. Partly because in the food chain,
I was the Muppet frog.Copy !req
64. And partly because Sarah used to tell me...Copy !req
65. Zero, look after that kid.Copy !req
66. Don't treat him like
he's only good for beating people up.Copy !req
67. He's messed up.
He's more sensitive than he looks.Copy !req
68. So he used to tell me things like...Copy !req
69. I think I'm an idiot
for dropping out of school.Copy !req
70. I tried to get him to understand
that it was okay.Copy !req
71. Even people on the street
recognize the value of education.Copy !req
72. There's always time to go back.
You could go to night school.Copy !req
73. There are loads of ways, if you want to.Copy !req
74. You can say these things
to the others too.Copy !req
75. It's normal to have doubts.Copy !req
76. We don't have to be tough all the time.Copy !req
77. Get it? With me, he felt comfortable
with his vulnerabilities.Copy !req
78. Because although we came
in two decidedly different packages,Copy !req
79. him in an armed tank,
me in a salmon trout,Copy !req
80. inside we had the same insecurities.Copy !req
81. He had them even worse than me.Copy !req
82. So I tried to get him to open up
to the rest of the world.Copy !req
83. To lighten this burden
of having to be the big bullyCopy !req
84. who was only good at fighting.Copy !req
85. As though the role
the others had given himCopy !req
86. was the only one he could play.Copy !req
87. That's what big robots have to do.
They don't go to Montessori schools.Copy !req
88. One day, he was acting
stranger than usual.Copy !req
89. Then he said...Copy !req
90. I had a strange dream,
but I don't know if I can tell you.Copy !req
91. I wanted to say...Copy !req
92. Now you wanna tell me
about your fucking dreams?Copy !req
93. The dreamlike dimension!Copy !req
94. Who are we? Michel Gondry?Copy !req
95. But then I remembered Sarah's warning.Copy !req
96. Look after him, I said!
Otherwise, I'll slap your ass!Copy !req
97. So instead, I said...Copy !req
98. Do you really still think like that?Copy !req
99. It's a dream.
Everyone has them. It's not a weakness.Copy !req
100. You're being very hard on yourself.
Come on!Copy !req
101. No, it's that I dreamed about people...Copy !req
102. People I know, even my friends, you know?Copy !req
103. That's normal. When you dream,
you process things you experience.Copy !req
104. Those are the ingredients.Copy !req
105. It's just that... everyone was around me,Copy !req
106. and I was, like, on my knees.
It was a strange situation.Copy !req
107. You need to understand the symbolism.Copy !req
108. Why were you on your knees?
What does that mean?Copy !req
109. That's also why you need to tell people.Copy !req
110. Maybe it's something to do
with your relationships.Copy !req
111. It might help them loosen up too.Copy !req
112. Then...Copy !req
113. they cum on my face.Copy !req
114. Yes... Well... Oh God...Copy !req
115. Okay, don't tell them.
I don't know, maybe they're open-minded.Copy !req
116. But to be on the safe side,
I wouldn't risk it.Copy !req
117. Oh, I'm not a fag.
I like your friend Sarah.Copy !req
118. I've already fucked. With a girl, I mean!Copy !req
119. Easy! A dream doesn't dictate
your sexual orientation.Copy !req
120. And anyway, it's not like
if you find out you like boys,Copy !req
121. or boys as well as girls,
you need to feel...Copy !req
122. Oh, I don't like boys, for God's sake.Copy !req
123. That dream disgusted me, okay?Copy !req
124. Okay, I was just saying.Copy !req
125. Did they at least give you
the lottery numbers?Copy !req
126. We could try playing them.Copy !req
127. Because apart from numbers,
I don't know shit about dreams.Copy !req
128. I just said that to defuse the tension,
but it's true, I didn't know shit.Copy !req
129. Maybe none of us knew shit about it.Copy !req
130. I felt confident going to Eugenia's houseCopy !req
131. because my friend was huge
and no one could say shit to me.Copy !req
132. But then I'd spend three hours
standing over the mini pizzas,Copy !req
133. immobilized like Han Solo
frozen in carbonite.Copy !req
134. Because what was much worse for me
than getting slapped in the faceCopy !req
135. was being seen dancing like a jerk.Copy !req
136. Or worse still, ending up
talking with that French chickCopy !req
137. who made me go all red.
My psoriasis would flare up,Copy !req
138. I'd sweat, and look as gross
as a boiled crustacean.Copy !req
139. I think we were all messed up
and confused.Copy !req
140. Some were holding
onto the big Japanese robot armorCopy !req
141. because they were too scared
to look at what was inside.Copy !req
142. Others were trying to be brave,Copy !req
143. holding their breath
and putting their heads underwaterCopy !req
144. to see what was below the surface.Copy !req
145. We are just here toCopy !req
146. support the just cla...Copy !req
147. claims of the residentsCopy !req
148. and the Italian people.Copy !req
149. Next Wednesday, the city council
will be held here, among the people.Copy !req
150. And we'll tell them loudly
that the shelter has to close!Copy !req
151. - You need to leave!
- I'll smash your face in!Copy !req
152. Yes, I live across from here.Copy !req
153. We can't take any more.Copy !req
154. We don't need any more foreigners.
We need work, we need to be safe.Copy !req
155. I want my 70-year-old mother
to be able to go out on her own at nightCopy !req
156. without being scared
of running into one of these thugsCopy !req
157. who don't work
and think they're entitled to everything.Copy !req
158. If you have a heart, be here on Wednesday!Copy !req
159. - I swear, I'm in shock.
- I told you he was a dickhead.Copy !req
160. You've been excusing him for 20 years.Copy !req
161. One thing is saying he's a dickhead,Copy !req
162. and another is him becoming
the Nazis' spokesperson.Copy !req
163. EVENING DRIVELCopy !req
164. So, since the start of this story,
I know you've been thinking...Copy !req
165. Why is he saying "Nazis"?Copy !req
166. What year does he think it is, 1945?Copy !req
167. He's like grandad who thinksCopy !req
168. a bomb siren's going off
when the microwave pings.Copy !req
169. No, I'll explain it methodically.Copy !req
170. In this country,
"fascist" used to be a terrible slur.Copy !req
171. Now nobody gives a shit anymore. They say...Copy !req
172. Well, he's a fascist, but he's all right.Copy !req
173. - A bit like saying...
- Well, he's celiac.Copy !req
174. A bit of a pain
when you eat out, but no big deal.Copy !req
175. Nazism, however, is the last bastionCopy !req
176. still struggling to find space
in the democratic market.Copy !req
177. Maybe thanks to Jewish people still
a bit weirded out by this Shoah thing.Copy !req
178. So, basically, for me, if you think
that the Axis should've won WWII,Copy !req
179. you're a Nazi, the end.
We don't care exactly in which yearCopy !req
180. you were allowed to beat people up
and torture them with castor oil.Copy !req
181. I guess I'll go talk to him.Copy !req
182. It won't help. You'll waste time
that we could use to eat ice cream.Copy !req
183. How do you know?Copy !req
184. I know because it closes at one.Copy !req
185. I went, but outside his house
there was absolute chaos.Copy !req
186. So many journalists,
and he was the star of the show.Copy !req
187. Like Angelina Jolie on the red carpet.Copy !req
188. And in the middle of all these vultures
was Mauro Crocodile,Copy !req
189. from the show I was supposed to go on.Copy !req
190. We have nothing to do with those bombs
that were thrown last night.Copy !req
191. But that happens
because people are exasperatedCopy !req
192. and ready to take to the barricades
in this area.Copy !req
193. I was disgusted by this sceneCopy !req
194. because I could tell
they were looking for a freak show.Copy !req
195. Like when they ask me
those morbid questions...Copy !req
196. What can you tell us about the outskirts
as someone who lives there?Copy !req
197. What are people from the outskirts like?Copy !req
198. - I say...
- They're normal people.Copy !req
199. Some are crazy, some aren't.Copy !req
200. It's not a sentient blob
with one brain that thinks for everyone.Copy !req
201. But they're not happy with that,
because they're obsessedCopy !req
202. with the fact that the outskirts
must be full of monsters and barbarians.Copy !req
203. And the more folkloric
and ungrammatical and tattooedCopy !req
204. the monster is,
the more they have to show it.Copy !req
205. It's King Kong.Copy !req
206. It's King Kong
when they bring him to the continent.Copy !req
207. Look how huge his nostrils are,Copy !req
208. enabling him to smell his prey
from far away on his islandCopy !req
209. and sniff copious amounts of cocaine,Copy !req
210. making his jawbone swingCopy !req
211. like a galleon through the waves.Copy !req
212. It made my heart bleed
to see Cesare being treated like that.Copy !req
213. I waited for the circus to leave,
and then I steeled myself.Copy !req
214. In the end, all I said was...Copy !req
215. Ces, can I talk to you for a sec?Copy !req
216. What? Let me tell you.Copy !req
217. If you want to thank me, there's no point.Copy !req
218. If you want to lecture me,
even less of a point.Copy !req
219. I'm not gonna lecture you,
but you're fucking up. Don't you see?Copy !req
220. They have a hand up your ass.Copy !req
221. You're talking
like a ventriloquist's dummy.Copy !req
222. No, I would have said that
if his arms weren't as big as my rib cage.Copy !req
223. I tried to take a wider angle,
to get there through the Socratic method.Copy !req
224. Look, I know you're doing this
in good faith,Copy !req
225. but they're not nice people.Copy !req
226. You poor guy, you don't know
because you've been gone for 20 years,Copy !req
227. but these people...Copy !req
228. Don't treat me like a moron!Copy !req
229. Those are the only people who have
listened to me since I've been back.Copy !req
230. They're using you because
they need your help with their shit.Copy !req
231. Right. So I should listen to you instead,Copy !req
232. who came to me crying
that you work too much?Copy !req
233. Or that other bitch
who hasn't even bothered to come say hi?Copy !req
234. - Well, I know, but...
- What do you know?Copy !req
235. What the fuck do you know?Copy !req
236. You make money with your storiesCopy !req
237. with so many morons applauding you.Copy !req
238. You know what it's like
when no one gives a fuck about you?Copy !req
239. When you're just an ex-addict,Copy !req
240. and people can't even remember
who the fuck you are.Copy !req
241. You're just a ghost in a shitty,
godforsaken neighborhood!Copy !req
242. What the fuck do you know about this shit?Copy !req
243. What have those 30 poor people
got to do with our shitty lives?Copy !req
244. I don't give a shit about
those 30 poor people.Copy !req
245. I'm mad at everyone else,Copy !req
246. the state that supports them,
and gives them money and homes.Copy !req
247. I never got given shit!Copy !req
248. What are they getting?Copy !req
249. Can't you see they've filled your head
with this bullshit?Copy !req
250. Fuck off. You've pissed me off.Copy !req
251. I know you're not like this.
Let's go back to the Socratic method.Copy !req
252. Go away, for fuck's sake,
or I swear I'll kill you!Copy !req
253. Maybe when he was a zombie on heroin,
I could have taken him on.Copy !req
254. But now, he'd have squashed me.Copy !req
255. Let's say that a generic
spirit of self-preservationCopy !req
256. persuaded me that
the discussion had come to an end.Copy !req
257. That's it, fuck off.
Get the fuck out of here.Copy !req
258. He came to lecture me, this piece of shit.Copy !req
259. You're confused, aren't you?Copy !req
260. I don't know. I was thinking
about what he said to me.Copy !req
261. The bit where he said he'd beat you up,Copy !req
262. or the one where it wasn't smart
to explain how to get byCopy !req
263. to someone with issues
that you don't have anymore?Copy !req
264. The second.Copy !req
265. I'm not sure if I have the right
to tell him certain things,Copy !req
266. or if I should keep quiet.Copy !req
267. I don't know.Copy !req
268. Don't ask me.
I can only tell you the risks.Copy !req
269. The risks of what?Copy !req
270. The risks of embodying
the most unpleasant and mysterious tarot.Copy !req
271. Master I Fucking Know it AllCopy !req
272. I don't want to school anyone.Copy !req
273. - I'm not the master...
- For example.Copy !req
274. From my loft in New York,Copy !req
275. I'd like to bestow my sophisticated
advice on how to live in the suburbs.Copy !req
276. I don't talk like that.Copy !req
277. I never said you did.Copy !req
278. I don't have a loft in New York either.
I live 100 meters from him.Copy !req
279. I'm telling you the risks
of looking in from the outside.Copy !req
280. Do you have a guilty conscience?Copy !req
281. We have to love each other.
We are all brothers.Copy !req
282. Please excuse me,Copy !req
283. I have an interview with Cosmopolitan
and a series for Netflix.Copy !req
284. Blessed are ye
who are in line for benefits.Copy !req
285. What a beautiful day. You might get a tan.Copy !req
286. You've done the voice.
Anyway, I'm not that much of a dick.Copy !req
287. I keep a low profile.
I stay at home working.Copy !req
288. It's not being a dick.Copy !req
289. You've got to ask yourself
if you have the right to lecture someone.Copy !req
290. I don't want to lecture anyone.Copy !req
291. Basically, I need to mind
my own business all the time.Copy !req
292. Yes, you can mind your own business.Copy !req
293. Here's the risk.Copy !req
294. Yeah, you know, I had ideals,Copy !req
295. values, hoodies.Copy !req
296. But now I've made cash!Copy !req
297. I'm not flushing it down the toilet
for a few tramps who came on a boat.Copy !req
298. Nazis read comics too.Copy !req
299. I can't burn half my audience.Copy !req
300. Your mom is right, you know.Copy !req
301. Dear son, you are a shit.Copy !req
302. What do you mean?
First I'm not qualified to talk,Copy !req
303. and now I'm a shit if I don't talk?Copy !req
304. Your mom said it.
I'm just telling you the risks.Copy !req
305. The choice is up to you.Copy !req
306. Stop being so damn cryptic!
What do I need to do?Copy !req
307. The changes in society
and the growing attention on gender issuesCopy !req
308. allow us to see how the phrase,
"getting fucked in the ass"Copy !req
309. has some critical issues.Copy !req
310. Because it associates anal sexCopy !req
311. with unfounded and discriminatory
negative connotations.Copy !req
312. So?Copy !req
313. So, you need to find another phrase
that means the same thing.Copy !req
314. I was right, wasn't I?Copy !req
315. I was right, wasn't I?Copy !req
316. What does "right" mean?Copy !req
317. It's not something
we can judge in this manner.Copy !req
318. So I was right.Copy !req
319. Yes, it went badly.Copy !req
320. He's really one of them now.Copy !req
321. He's stubborn.
There's no reasoning with him.Copy !req
322. Wanna get an ice cream
to celebrate me being right?Copy !req
323. I was going to get my 40th ice cream
of the week when I heard...Copy !req
324. Zero! Secco!Copy !req
325. It was our Pterodactyl Friend.Copy !req
326. Let me explain.Copy !req
327. Our Pterodactyl Friend
is one of those peopleCopy !req
328. who is particularly active locally
and driven by noble ideals.Copy !req
329. I represent those people as dinosaursCopy !req
330. because I think they're cool people,Copy !req
331. and dinosaurs are
the coolest thing in nature.Copy !req
332. Also because they date back to a timeCopy !req
333. when Mother Nature cared.Copy !req
334. There's a cool documentary on NetflixCopy !req
335. with all the interviews
and original recordings.Copy !req
336. Yes, back in those days
we did wonderful things.Copy !req
337. We even had a bit
of a creative design idea.Copy !req
338. We wanted people to see them and say,Copy !req
339. "Wow, why wasn't I born a dilophosaurus?"Copy !req
340. Then we might have got a bit complacent.Copy !req
341. If I had to pinpoint
the start of the decline,Copy !req
342. it was when we got stuck with the monkeys.Copy !req
343. Look at that ugly baboon
with its red bum hanging out,Copy !req
344. making those stupid noises...Copy !req
345. What is the point?Copy !req
346. I don't even remember why
we were hell-bent on these animals.Copy !req
347. You look at them today and think, "What?"Copy !req
348. But we were always stoned back then.
It was confusing.Copy !req
349. Here, look.Copy !req
350. Horses.Copy !req
351. Some sort of peacock.Copy !req
352. What a mess we made!Copy !req
353. FATHER TRAGEDY
SINCE CHILDREN HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA...Copy !req
354. Well, anyway,
as well as being as cool as dinosaurs,Copy !req
355. they share the fact that they are...Copy !req
356. Are you sure you can say this?Copy !req
357. Yes, to explain that they're...Copy !req
358. Not extinct, but let's say,
witnesses of an era...Copy !req
359. Why do you want to antagonize
the only peopleCopy !req
360. who might not want to kill you
after they've seen this series?Copy !req
361. No, I'm sayingCopy !req
362. that they're heirs to a tradition
that has now partly faded away...Copy !req
363. Have you talked
to a professional about this?Copy !req
364. Have you discussed
that when something goes well,Copy !req
365. you start doing circus tricks
to ensure it turns into a shitshow?Copy !req
366. MASTER IN SELF-SABOTAGECopy !req
367. Fine, anyway, they're dinosaurs.Copy !req
368. So we said to our Pterodactyl Friend...Copy !req
369. I meant to call you.
Have you seen what these shits are doing?Copy !req
370. I've seen, yeah.
We had a meeting about it last night.Copy !req
371. Are you guys coming tomorrow?Copy !req
372. What's tomorrow?Copy !req
373. We're going to head down
to the town hall to tell themCopy !req
374. they can't do everything the Nazis say.Copy !req
375. Next Wednesday, they want
to hold the town council outside,Copy !req
376. so all the Nazis in Rome can comeCopy !req
377. and make it look like
people want to close that shelter.Copy !req
378. We have to say that it's unacceptable
to give them that space.Copy !req
379. Today, that piece of shit
Mauro Crocodile was there,Copy !req
380. interviewing all those liars.Copy !req
381. You know he's going on the show
next Wednesday?Copy !req
382. Mind your own fucking business.Copy !req
383. Really? Well, it's great you'll be there.Copy !req
384. - At least you can say something.
- Yeah...Copy !req
385. I don't know what scope I'll have.Copy !req
386. It's up to you. We trust you.Copy !req
387. Surely you won't stay quietCopy !req
388. after that Muppet said
he wanted to send us to jail, right?Copy !req
389. How many of you are coming?Copy !req
390. We're counting, since loads of us
have work in the morning.Copy !req
391. Uh, us, so two.Copy !req
392. We're not Gremlins.
We don't multiply if we get wet.Copy !req
393. Why don't you call your friend Sarah too?Copy !req
394. She seems switched on.
We'd have an extra body.Copy !req
395. Do you know who your friends talked with?Copy !req
396. Who had this idea?Copy !req
397. No, I don't know. I had a meeting.Copy !req
398. And where was this meeting?Copy !req
399. At school, with other teachers.
We had loads of shit to sort out.Copy !req
400. Can we have a word?Copy !req
401. So, what can we do
to help our DIGOS colleagues?Copy !req
402. They've just called from the hospital.Copy !req
403. - One of them is badly hurt.
- How badly?Copy !req
404. I wish I knew how to respond, Tonelli.
I really do.Copy !req
405. Do you know why?
Because that would mean I'm a doctor.Copy !req
406. And that day in September,
I had listened to my mother.Copy !req
407. And now in the mornings,
I'd be going around the wards asking,Copy !req
408. "How are you today, Mrs. Bianchini?"Copy !req
409. Instead, I spend my life watching
Instagram stories of people I don't knowCopy !req
410. who are now familiar to me,Copy !req
411. crossing my fingers
that eventually they commit a crime,Copy !req
412. to make sense
of all these hours of cats and sunsets.Copy !req
413. Couldn't you have minded
your own fucking business?Copy !req
414. I don't know what to do with that show.Copy !req
415. Why? You told me
you wanted to say something.Copy !req
416. Yes, but they're things I say
when I get delusions of grandeurCopy !req
417. and feel guilty because I have visions
of Sandrina rotting in jail.Copy !req
418. Anyway, they told me
that I can't say a damn thing.Copy !req
419. What do you care? It's live.Copy !req
420. You can say what you want.
They can't cut you.Copy !req
421. I don't know if I have the guts
to cause a scene on live TV.Copy !req
422. Why? Do you think
Crocodile will freak out?Copy !req
423. Or that he's so crazy he'll attack you?Copy !req
424. I don't think
he'll ever attack you live on TV.Copy !req
425. No, I don't think that he'll beat me up.
He's a gentleman.Copy !req
426. But this is something
that could cause a mess.Copy !req
427. Anyway, if he attacks you,
take Peppe spray.Copy !req
428. As soon as you see him
about to attack you, spray himCopy !req
429. and punch him twice in the face. Boom!Copy !req
430. Except it's "pepper spray." Pepper.Copy !req
431. Like the vegetable.
Not "Peppe," like short for Giuseppe.Copy !req
432. Peppe spray.Copy !req
433. - Pepper, with an R!
- Peppe spray.Copy !req
434. Anyway, he's the anchor.
He can't beat people up on live TV.Copy !req
435. That's what I'm saying.
He can't attack you, that's impossible.Copy !req
436. But I could be in the audience with bombs.Copy !req
437. Just give me a signal.Copy !req
438. I did it at my cousin's wedding.Copy !req
439. I brought the church down
because she didn't want to say no.Copy !req
440. Do you, Antonella, take MaurizioCopy !req
441. to love and to cherish...Copy !req
442. I googled it. It's not bullshit.Copy !req
443. FIRE IN A 14TH-CENTURY CHURCHCopy !req
444. I'll call SarahCopy !req
445. and ask her to join us tomorrow
at the town hall,Copy !req
446. or she'll get offended.Copy !req
447. Yeah, ask her. What do I care?Copy !req
448. She didn't answer, and I was glad.Copy !req
449. I'm always glad when people don't pick upCopy !req
450. because it earns you
"ass-covering points."Copy !req
451. I actually note them down,
so the next time she says...Copy !req
452. - You never pick up the phone!
- I can say...Copy !req
453. October 20th, 2019.
Fourteen rings, and then voicemail.Copy !req
454. Put it in your pipe and smoke it.Copy !req
455. Have a look and see
if there's anything new on the local news.Copy !req
456. - If not, we'll meet up tomorrow.
- There's a video.Copy !req
457. Due to this shelter,
the school is depo-populating.Copy !req
458. This school is at risk of closing.Copy !req
459. The pre... prereg...
preregistrations are opened,Copy !req
460. but no one signed up.Copy !req
461. And the parents don't want
their children to spend timeCopy !req
462. close to a place that causes degradation,Copy !req
463. where these people hang around.Copy !req
464. Yes, we also have some teachers
from this school here.Copy !req
465. Let's ask them what they thinkCopy !req
466. of this story and these requests.Copy !req
467. Boom! It was Sarah!Copy !req
468. I didn't even know that was the school.Copy !req
469. But then I thought it was obvious.Copy !req
470. Sarah is always there when she's needed.Copy !req
471. It's almost like she's summoned
whenever I mess up.Copy !req
472. She puts the pieces back together.Copy !req
473. Basically, she's the person
who keeps my life bar upright.Copy !req
474. Bye-bye, Crocodile!Copy !req
475. I'm going to get the popcorn readyCopy !req
476. and watch her make them look like shitCopy !req
477. and send them straight into the trash.Copy !req
478. I... I don't know.Copy !req
479. I think these are
very delicate situations,Copy !req
480. and politics shouldn't exacerbate them.Copy !req
481. What's she saying? She seems... a bit shy.Copy !req
482. What does "exarbate" mean?Copy !req
483. But the schools in working-class
neighborhoods are important.Copy !req
484. And if the only way of keeping them open
is to close the shelter,Copy !req
485. maybe that's what needs to be done.Copy !req
486. Just think,
if you always had a go-to person,Copy !req
487. a beacon that reminded you
where you needed to go.Copy !req
488. You could be lost in the dark, in a storm,Copy !req
489. you could be completely abandoned...Copy !req
490. But you knew that whatever happened,
that beacon was there.Copy !req
491. And you relied on that beacon so muchCopy !req
492. that you built the whole village,
your whole life around it,Copy !req
493. taking for granted
that it would always be there.Copy !req
494. Stop it, will you?Copy !req
495. Then one day, suddenly...Copy !req
496. So you'll come to the special
town council meeting next week?Copy !req
497. Yes. If we need to, we'll be there too.Copy !req
498. And you're left in the dark,
in the middle of the debris.Copy !req
