Short filmTranscript
00:00One cup of your best coffee, eh?
00:10One coffee coming up.
00:11How much are these sandwiches?
00:12Twelve hundred.
00:13Too much.
00:14Uh, listen, could I ask you to heat this milk a little for my baby son?
00:20Pass it over.
00:22Okay.
00:23Oh, I really need this.
00:24I'll put some steams through it.
00:28And would you do this one as well?
00:30Your little baby's got a thirst, eh?
00:32I'm going all the way to Germany.
00:41Mind if I take one?
00:43Yeah, help yourself.
00:45Lots of sugar.
00:49How many babies you got?
00:51I'll put it in his milk later.
00:56We got a long way to go.
00:59Grateful to you.
01:01Thanks.
01:07Very good.
01:09His name's Michele Abagnano.
01:11He's a small-time crook who rides the train selling coffee without a license.
01:14Been doing it for years.
01:15Yeah, well, why do those jerks sitting on their asses in Rome suddenly tell us to jump
01:19on him tonight?
01:20Come on, I'll buy you all a drink.
01:23We got to wait for the connection anyway.
01:25Thanks, I'll have a grappino.
01:27You must have a grappino, scotty, I mean it.
01:29No, no, no, nothing alcoholic.
01:30It's dangerous to mix it with cough medicine.
01:32Okay, then I'll get you a double suppository.
01:34In a tall glass.
01:36What'll you have?
01:37I think I'll pass.
01:38I've got enough poison in me already.
01:40Hey, lend me your umbrella.
01:42Where are you going, sanguine?
01:43I won't be long.
01:44I want to find out something.
01:47Rome can wear me in the middle of the night.
01:50I don't see why I shouldn't.
