00:03:55 Roberto!

00:09:15 --Who was it? --Nobody. Never said anything.

00:11:53 - the neck stiff, a nice clean cut and off with his head.

00:18:22 I don't know. That's what's so crazy. He never asked for money.

00:20:45 Let's run away. Get away from here. It's the only way.

00:23:10 --You see, I killed this guy, and now someone's after me. --Is that all?

00:24:50 Have him check around... Tail you, protect you too.

00:26:54 --What do you want from me now? --Nothing. You don't understand---

00:33:44 --If I'm a nuisance, I'll go. --Don't be stupid. I'm delighted.

00:35:26 I was busy.

00:40:02 Hello? It's me. See you at my place, huh?

00:44:03 Oh, can I help you?

00:45:45 --The odds? --Exactly.

00:47:19 --What do you mean 'oh haha'? --Oh, nothing, just 'oh.'

00:49:51 Don't get exited. It'll all work out. You'll see.

00:53:53 --Good evening. --Good evening.

00:58:33 Roberto, telephone.

01:06:51 Why don't you do as she says? Is there another woman?

01:09:26 You're very kind.

01:11:01 Why don't you try taking your wife's advice and clear out for a while?

01:19:47 It's a very difficult procedure, but it is possible to photograph this image.

01:28:02 God, Nina, you sure picked the right moment.

01:30:58 Why?

01:33:25 --I came here as quickly as I could. --She's crazy.
