What a great audience I can see here!
Everyone's eager to watch this amazing show,
Let's give this amazing audience another round of applause,
The crowd's giving us a thrill today,
Really heating up the atmosphere here,
THE TRAINERS
Loosen up!
Today's the big day,
We've trained hard for this, Yeah, I know you're nervous, Jump!
I don't want to pressure you, but you know I had that bet with Marta, If I lose,,,
Rotate your head,
Look, you're the only good thing I have left,
So, let's stay focused,
I'm sure this is going to be our lucky day, It has to be,
That's enough, Let's get rid of negative thoughts,
Loosen up! Jump!
Rotate your head,
Ready?
So,,, let's go!
Jump!
That's Bruto's second perfect jump,
He enters the pipe tunnel and comes out of it nicely,
He's on the dog walk, Brilliant! Jump!
Bruto jumps again, Then through the A-Frame obstacle,,,
Perfect contact zone here, He beautifully weaves through the poles,
And now the pipe tunnel,,,
Jump!
And he's crossed the finish line,
Bruto completes the race in 29'51",
What an amazing time for his trainer Marta Fiorini!
Since she started competing alone, she's been literally unstoppable
and has won the last two editions of the Agility Cup,
But here's the moment we've been waiting for,
They were once partners in business and life,
Today, for the first time,
they're competing against each other in a competition,
Here comes Pasquale Marolla!
Don't look at her,
Do not look at her,
Loosen up!
-Go, Pasqualino! -Go, Uncle!
Come on, Pasqualino, You’ve got to win this,
Let's see who will have the upper hand,
Tense looks,
Two completely different training styles are competing against each other here,
That's a great start by Cecchino,
Excellent exit from the pipe tunnel, Another perfect jump
and a memorable performance on the dog walk,
What a truly amazing animal he is!
A jump followed by a slalom,,,
Perfect jump by Cecchino!
Straight ahead!
A change of hands, people, The see-saw,,,
Goodness me! Pasquale Marolla has tripped over, What a pity!
Has the idiot got vertigo or what?
Pull yourself together,
Wait, what's Cecchino doing?
He's gone up to Pasquale and started to pamper him,
Wow, this is truly unbelievable,
What a pity! What a fatal mistake!
The dog and the trainer have made contact,
Cecchino and Pasquale Marolla have been disqualified,
We can't say there's no chemistry between them, though!
A deal's a deal,
I know, but,,, can't I keep him just one more month?
How will you provide for him?
You're broke and you have no clients or reputation left,
You sleep in a van,
-I don't sleep in the van anymore, -Everyone was laughing,
Not at Cecchino, They were laughing at me,
because I tripped over and that always makes people laugh,
Yes, That's classic,
I'm taking him to the Agility Cup, Do you really care for him or not?
Off we go,
-Off we go! -Easy,
What about the giraffe?
You, Come with me,
I'd made it clear, No dog hair, And look, it's everywhere,
It's on my shirts, on my socks, in my underwear,,,
Yesterday, I found a clump of it on my pc at work,
Cirimbelli, the engineer, was ill all morning,
-I can't stand him anymore, -Lower your voice,
Every time I have a shower, the bathroom turns into a swamp
because the drain is clogged up with dog hair,
When I wash my hair, my eyes look like two volcanoes
because he uses shampoo with flea repellent,
Cecchino's no longer here, anyway,
Can't you see he's making fun of you? That guy's crafty,
"I'm planning to use the prize money to rent a nice house--"
That's enough, Federico!
-Marta took everything from him, -Exactly,
These buttons are huge, I can't do them up,
They're driving me insane,
-Pasquale, come in, -Hi, Uncle,
-Good morning, -Morning,
-Hi, -Have some coffee,
Thanks,
Federico,,,
Don't worry about the bathroom, I'll sort everything out this morning,
Can I just ask you a favour? Don't look at me like that,
-Like what? -Like that!
At least don’t try to pull the wool over our eyes!
-What's wrong with him today? -Nothing, Never mind,
Let's smile, Cheer up everyone, life is wonderful!
Silvia, let's go with a smile on our faces!
-Bye, Mum, -Bye,
Bye, Uncle, Don't listen to him,
We'll sort things out somehow,
Get back on track, Then you can have Cecchino back,
What if our friends loved us so much
they wanted to always be in touch?
Love can make us do weird,,,
For my puppies, I always go for Marta Fiorini products,
She's won two,,,
Help! I'm drowning!
Thank God you're here, Charlie,
I love you so much!
Come and help me with the dessert,
If you'll excuse me, I'll just,,,
I'll have this in the kitchen,
I hate to see you like this, Pasquale, You must do something,
Why don't you open another dog school?
-How could I,,, -By the way,
you did a great job with the cleaning, What detergent did you use?
A marine breeze scented one, It leaves a clean fresh smell, doesn't it?
It does!
-I bought it, -Well done!
A school of your own, Your name, your training method,,,
You could start with a few classes, then in one year,
once it's taken off, she'll have to give Cecchino back to you,
-I'm not sure-- -Well, you should be,
Just believe in yourself a little more!
How much would you need to pay upfront?
While for the more stubborn stains, I bought a Magic Sponge,
I bought it online, You can't find it in shops,
-Congratulations! -I carried out extensive research,
-Wow! -I really made a lot of effort,
Great!
Ok, but,,, I need a place to host it,
Actually, there is one,
I'd rather get skinned alive than give you these!
Federico, think about it,
No, that's my parents' house,
They'd be turning in their graves, All of my father's paintings are in there,
No one would touch them,
No one would, Federico,
-That place is a museum, -Don't start with that story again!
When the National Association for Hidden Museums sees that house,
which you'd like to turn into a doghouse, will become a museum,
The dogs would sleep outside,
-He only needs a couple of rooms, -Plus three or four dogs,
We'd soon move into a bigger house,
I'm sure your dad was very keen on dogs,
He absolutely loathed dogs!
-They could stay in the garden, -In the garden?
But my mother planted her flowers there,
That's even better, The dog poop will fertilise them,
Yes, let's just laugh about everything,
About our dear ones, memories,
people who are no longer around and can't protect
what they deeply, tenderly, loved for all their lives, Ouch!
Federico? Hey!
-He's fine, -Federico?
-Breathe, -Hey!
Federico, are you ok?
I don't want to see his face anymore,
"Pasquale Marolla, dog trainer,"
And then there's my motto, "Behave and be happy",
-I came up with it, Do you like it? -Yes,
It's quite straight-forward and catchy, isn't it?
-Go on, -Then,,,
"Bring your little ones to Pasquale Marolla's courtyard,
They'll be happier, calmer and more outgoing,"
I've added my e-mail address and phone number, Any thoughts?
Well, that's perfect,
Good,
Here you are,
-The money,,, -Yes,
Letizia, I don't know how to thank you,
Just leave, I'm about to begin,
Come here, Thank you,
-Thank you so much, -Go now!
Hurry up!
-Thank you, Bye, -Bye,
Please do come in,
Good morning, Doctor,
Let's go, Filippo,
I'm sorry, Dad,
These are Mum's dolls,
-This room is off limits, -I'll never get in here,
Well, this is Dad's study,
He painted over there,
-Right there? -Yes,
This room is also off limits,
Go ahead,
The mezzanine up there is off limits too,
-I thought so, -Good,
Here, Look at this rhino, Isn't it beautiful?
Remember, you mustn't touch it,
This was hand-carved in the mythic Valley of Qom,
-It's wonderful, -It is,
-You mean, that Qom? In that valley? -Yes,
And take a look at this vase,
-Hold on, this is extraordinary! -It's marvellous,
Oh, you meant that one, In fact, it looked a bit weird--
My Grandma gave it to my mother when I was born,
-Wow, -We'd call it the "magic vase",
The "magic vase",
-Well, it obviously has-- -It's got a symbolic meaning, yes,
It really looks magic, It's beautiful,
Can you feel the energy that flows through this house?
-Are you kidding me? -Out of these items,,,
The minute I got in here, I was swept away by something,
Then I realised it was the house,
It was the energy from this place, Yes,
Come here, You have to see this,
-Take a look at the sunset in this one, -No way!
Here, Look at the sky,
It contains shades of yellow and pink,
-It's unbelievable, -Yes, Unbelievable,
-Take a look from up close, -I can see it,
It portraits something so ethereal
that it seems to vanish into the grandiosity of the whole creation,
-Yeah, I,,, -It's wonderful,
I love the haystack on the hill, perfectly merging with nature,
What haystack?
The one we can see here, in the foreground,
That's my mother!
The haystack?
That's my mother,
Sorry, I,,,
Of course, That's a woman seen from behind,
That looked like a haystack from up close,
but you can tell that's a woman if you look at it from a distance,
On the contrary, from here it seemed so ethereal, like a,,,
Well, it's beautiful,
Dominique, you're next,
-Come in, -Stop it, kids!
-Hi, -Hi,
-Excuse me, Doctor, -Yes?
Is this Pasquale Marolla a relative of yours?
Yes, he's my brother,
Do you think it might be good for him?
Sure, That's a good idea,
I'm not saying this because he's my brother,
-but I can vouch for him, Trust me, -Thank you,
Hello to all mums,
My amazing paediatrician has recommended this,
Let's take them all there,
Don't worry, madam, Within a week,,,
What's her name? Mia,,,
Mia will be happy, cheerful and in a good mood,
She will behave,
and will be happy to be so,
Yes, I'd just need an accurate description of her behaviour,
attitude, eating habits, allergies, intolerances,,,
Sure! If you have any toys, feel free to bring them,
Yes, I have one spot left for the first week,
Ok, great!
I'll put her name down,
Yes, of course,
Don't mention it, madam, You're welcome,
Please don't cry, madam! I'm just doing my job,
In fact, thank you,
Thank you very much, Bye,
Yes!
See-saw!
Over here, sweetie!
Very good,
Turn around, Get down,
Get down,
Good boy! Over here, over here,
-Hi, Orlando, -What are you doing? She'll see you,
-Enter from the back, -Thank you, Orlando,
No worries, Mr Pasquale,
You've always been kind to me, I'll never forget that,
Thanks,
Lillo! Hi, sweetheart!
I can see you've put on some weight!
You're still good-looking, though, Be quiet, now,
Do you think you're still competing with that loser?
How can we go to the Agility Cup if you are so slow?
Look at me when I'm talking to you!
You feel embarrassed, don't you? Turning your back on me,
Losers have a hard time here,
Don't you like it all?
What's wrong? Too much flaxseed?
No, wait, Perhaps it's the argan oil,
If you could just give it a try, though,,,
Oh, come on!
Seriously? Alright,
Caterina, Hey!
You? If she finds out, she'll have you mauled,
Shut up!
I'm setting up a dog school and I thought about you,
-But-- -Caterina, you're amazing,
You've created the "Pawdding",
Yes, dogs hated it, yet that pun was so unique,
Thank you, Pasquale, But you see, I get a steady paycheck here,
Obviously, you'd still be getting a paycheck,
Well, of course not from day one, but,,,
I could give you some money upfront, then as soon as things take off,,,
Yes, sure, but,,,
The thing is, Marta's been very kind to me recently,
Now we're really getting on,
And I'm fully satisfied with my job,
Caterina! Are you still in the kitchen?
Don't forget the rat extermination,
And clean the sewer!
I know what you're thinking, Don't worry!
We need him, He's so good at what he does,
You have to know how to handle him,
How did he end up in jail, then?
No big deal,
He had some anger issues, something concerning uncontrolled rage,
But you know what? He sounded great on the phone,
-Oh,,, -Yes,
He says he's making progress thanks to a tantric breathing technique,
or something like that,
In fact, he looks more cheerful, doesn't he?
-Hi, Pietro, -Hi,
-Let's get out of here, Now! -See?
WELCOME
That's perfect,
-Would you like some water, Pasquale? -No, thanks, Not now,
-I'm too concentrated on this, -Oh, I'm sorry,
It sure takes courage to give up a steady job with Marta
to follow Pasquale Marolla,
Look, Pasquale's really good at what he does,
And not only at that, He's good at many things,
People should trust in him,
You see, everyone always underestimates him,
They'll be here any minute!
Welcome!
-Hi, -Hi,
Pasquale Marolla, Nice to meet you,
Nice to meet you,
Pasquale Marolla,
-Nice to meet you, -Marolla, You too,
-Davide Serrano, - Marolla, nice to meet you,
Here we are, This is Pietro, my assistant,
-Nice to meet you, -Hi,
Please excuse me, I,,,
I just wanted to tell you that Omar's been a little constipated lately,
Elvis, sweetheart,,,
Elvis?
Sweetheart, please,
Honey, where are you going?
I can't deny I find it rather hard to empathise with him,
I understand he needs to grow self-esteem
but this year alone he's broken his wrist, shoulder and collarbone,
-Elisa Rodà, Nice to meet you, -Marolla,
When I saw the poster in your sister's office, I thought,
"It's a sign,"
Mia, will you please be quiet? Calm down, honey,
-Take me back home! -Calm down,
Mia, look what you've done to your dad!
Honey, where are you going? I'm talking to you, Come back here!
I'll set fire to the whole place!
We need experts like you,
Here! We’ve got some biscuits for you!
Good morning,
-Good morning, -This is Caterina De Rossi,
our nutritionist, with a welcome buffet,
-Everything's organic, -I'll have one, then,
Help yourselves!
-I'll have one too, -Here you are,
Are these dogs?
She's very creative,
Can I have one?
Sure! As many as you want,
Yummy! Such a unique taste!
What's going on?
They've mistaken us for children's entertainers,
-Dad, they taste like feet, -What?
They're organic,
They'll be good for our bowels,
Excuse me, I need to get back inside with Caterina to discuss the menu,
I'll leave you here with Pietro,
Don't say anything,
What time will the children go to bed?
Caterina, what are you doing?
I'm calling Marta, Maybe if I beg her, she'll take me back,
No, wait!
Listen to me, please, I swear I don't know what happened,
Now you'll go out there,
explain what we do and give them their money back,
There's no money left, I've already spent everything
on that organic stuff of yours,
This is fraud, Punishable by imprisonment from six months to three years,
Let's talk this over,
People always say that dogs are similar to young kids, right?
So why can't young kids be like dogs?
You're out of your mind!
None of us has ever worked with children, What should we do?
Guys, how hard can it be to deal with five kids?
We're dog trainers,
But we don't have any permits or certifications,
We have nothing,
-What if the police turn up? -Since when have you worried about that?
-Why did I leave my job? -Please, help me,
It's one week, after all,
Just one week, What can possibly go wrong?
I'm sure we'll sort everything out, Don't worry,
And who knows, things might turn out well for once,
This is wonderful!
Yes, this place is beautiful,
Are these made of wood?
We have to get rid of them,
What do you mean?
-Tell them to go away, -Oh, yes, Sure,
Thanks, guys,
Caterina, thank you,
Don't touch me!
Pietro, thank you,
Thanks,
Here I am,
Sorry, I was just checking the menu,
Everything looks great,
-Good, -It's amazing,
Why are these games so weird?
The games,,,
Do they look weird to you?
I guess it's a psychomotor therapy course,
Yeah, exactly,
Here, we firmly believe in psychom,,,
Also because that's one of our strengths,
-But, these really look like-- -Montessori beds?
So, you're no longer using tents,
Exactly,
Well, I'm not entirely sure they're from Monte Soro,
but they're of the finest quality,
-Can we see where they'll sleep? -No,
-We can't? -There's a reason why you can't,
No, because our method revolves around independence and autonomy,
They're really crucial for us,
That's why you can't,
Excellent,
Thank you,
Thanks,
Don't worry, we're real experts,
See you on Saturday, Come on, kids, say goodbye!
Come on, Bye, bye!
Here I am,
Sorry, I was tied up at work,
And then I got lost, How come this is not signposted?
What's it like, anyway?
Hi, I'm Marolla, I run the whole thing,
-Paola, Nice to meet you, -Hi,
They've never stayed in a place like this,
Well, I think we should leave, now, They have a busy day ahead, right?
Really?
Oh, yeah, Sure, Very busy,
I'll drop by to check on you, ok?
Don't worry, Mum, I'll take care of Leo,
Please be quiet, kids,
Pietro, do something!
Look at them!
Pietro, help me out here!
Let's tear down something else!
Who's this Pasquale Marolla, anyway?
Who is he? Well, people say he's great,
What will Leo think?
That we don't like that he's so isolated, or won't commit to playing any sports,
That he's falling behind with his piano lessons--
Enough with the piano lessons!
I bet he'll never get into the musical academy,
Paola, I'm sick and tired of his whining,
Stella doesn't do that,
He's nine years old!
And I've told you, you shouldn't compare one child to another,
I'm going to be late for my rehearsals, Bye,
Ta-da! Here is your sleeping area,
See?
These will be your beds,
Each of you will have one,
How does that look?
-Why can't we sleep in real beds? -It'll feel like being in a scouting camp,
I've been to a scouting camp once, I hated it,
It was all smiling, mosquitoes and smelly feet,
They'll still be wondering who destroyed that guitar,
The food's ready,
Did you hear him? The food's ready, Let's go wash our hands, Follow me!
-Omar, are you in there? -Yes,
Do you need any help?
No, I'm alright, Pasquale,
What have you prepared?
-Lasagne, -Lasagne,
Why is it fluorescent?
Did you put,,,
We had nothing else,
,,,dog food in it?
Well, it's organic,
A nice lasagne for our hungry kids,
Here you are,
-It looks like splattered brains, -It's organic,
Guys, there are plenty of rooms with real beds in them!
No, don't!
Pietro, they're just kids, Caterina, stop him!
Kids!
Federico, my dear friend!
Hi, Pasquale, How's it going?
Everything's fine,
I'm glad to hear that, Have they arrived yet?
Yes, sure,
Of course they have,
-What about the house? -It's just perfect,
Can I hear singing in the background?
-Singing? -Yes,
I don't think so, Perhaps you meant 'barking',
Yes, that's,,,
It's the dogs, They're barking,
By the way, I've had a better look at the paintings, They're amazing,
They're out of this world, When that guy from the museum comes--
And tell me, which is your favourite one?
My favourite painting?
The,,, apple,
Yes, that one,
"The hateful stubbornness of unaltered change,"
-Pardon? -That's the name,
Oh, yes, That's the one,
What does it convey to you?
It conveys a feeling of,,, I mean, it's a really nice apple,
The concept of fruit finds its best expression here,
You look at it and think, "That's an apple,"
Ok, but what do you see beyond that?
Absolutely nothing,
That's a beautiful concept, I'd never thought of its 'nothingness',
Indeed, I think that's what makes it great,
It's just an apple and beyond that, there's nothing,
It's so exciting, Yes, that's great,
Sorry, I can hear the dogs barking in the distance from their houses
in the garden, I have to go,
Sorry for bothering you, Have a good day,
-Will you say hi? -Yes, Letizia says hi too,
A hug to you all, Talk soon, Thanks, bye,
It's pointless, Whatever you say, they won't do it,
It's not what I say that matters, but what I do,
The trainer has complete control over non-verbal communication,
That's the power of calm, assertive energy, It's all about your eyes,
Hey!
-Get out of here! -Go away!
-Elvis, -I'm here,
-Ok,,, Mia, -I'm here,
-Stella, -I'm here,
Leo,
Omar,
-Omar? -I'm here!
Sorry, I was in the bathroom,
Right, the circuit you're about to go through
will teach how to behave, ok?
Now, listen,,,
We'll start with a few jumps,
Go through every single one of them,
This is the see-saw, You'll walk up here
and then you'll navigate through these poles,
Great, After that, you'll jump through this tyre, like this,
And finally, the A-Frame,
Then, run towards the starting line,
-where you'll get your final time, -And a little prize,
Well, let's start with,,, Leo,
-Come on! -He said he doesn't want to,
-Give me some sweets, -Did I not make myself clear?
You can have just one prize after you've completed the whole--
You accidentally dropped a few sweets here, kiddo!
Pick them up,
You pick them up,
Ok, I'll pick them up,
-I'll go first, -Good, Well done, Elvis,
Let's start!
This is the starting line,
-Will that take long, Caterina? -Oh, no, I'm done,
Are you ready?
On the count of three, run, One, two, three, go!
See-saw!
Faster! Through the poles,
Tyre!
Quick!
A-Frame,,,
-And back to the starting line, Time? -10 point 50 seconds,
Well done,
Your little prize,
-And now? -Now what?
Can I try it?
What? Hey, give it back!
Give it back to me,
Let go!
-Give it back to him, -I think he got that, Didn't you, Elvis?
Do you want it back? Come and get it, old man!
We want blood! We want blood!
Pietro,,,
Pietro, he's only a child,
He's just a little child,
Elvis, what's wrong?
He's choking on a sweet,
-Oh, my God! -He's choking,
-He's going to die, -He's choking on a sweet,
You saved me,
Thank you,
I'm losing my patience!
There has to be a way to calm them down,
There's always the "Paolone method",
Now I've lost it!
-Who's Paolone? -My former cell mate,
Caterina,
Caterina?
I'm going to do some shopping for the kids,
What should I get? Baby food, fruit puree, semolina?
They're not babies anymore,
Please let me sleep,
Ok, I'll choose then,
I beg you, don't wake them up!
I'm not that crazy,
BEHAVE AND BE HAPPY
DOG TRAINER
Let's go, kids,
-Why? -I don't like the look of that man,
Dear customers, we're now opening till No,6,
THE FOOD FOR CHAMPIONS
RECOMMENDED BY THE WINNER OF THE LAST TWO EDITIONS OF THE AGILITY CUP
Who's there?
-What are you doing in here? -Ssh! Be quiet!
What's going on?
They've found out, They know who we are,
They even blackmailed us,
I talked to them but they wouldn't listen,
-They're merciless, -Who?
-The kids, -Are they armed?
Yes,
But,,,
The kids threatened to call their parents
and I was afraid Pietro could,,,
Well, I had no choice,
How did you do that?
Are you out of your mind?
-Should I untie him? -Are you out of your mind?
You've found us out,
Do you think we'll do everything you want, now?
Don't move!
Look, we can't stay like this all day,
If you do, they'll spot us,
-I'll talk to them, -No,
It's too humiliating,
This in inhumane, I'll talk to them,
No!
Listen, kids,,,
There he is!
Let's get him! Fire!
Let's get him!
Aim for his head!
We want blood!
Fire! Fire!
Let's get him!
I've got him,
I'm the queen and you're Prince Charming,
-And you're the "Poo Fairy", -Great,
I think I'll give it another try,
-Don't move, -Oh, I'm sorry,
-Not in my mouth, come on! -Shut up!
And now, the T-Rex,
-I think that'll do, don't you? -The brontosaurus,
Oh goodness gracious!
All three of them looked the same anyway,
Brontosauruses aren't aggressive, They're herbivores,
Dinosaurs are extinct, so you can't be certain,
Get your facts right!
He doesn't even know that Brontosauruses were herbivores,
-Pardon? -Crisps!
Leo! Leo! Leo!
Crisps again?
You shouldn't eat them,
They're not good for you, It's fried food,
How dare you disturb us?
-Go do your homework! -I'm not going to do that,
Ok, we'll tell your parents then,
Do you think that scares me?
"To get to the market, a mum walks down three roads,
One is 53 m long, another one is 1,425 mm long,
and the other one is 10,450 cm long,
How many kilometres will the mum walk
if she forgets the apples at the coffee shop?"
But, this it total nonsense,
Don't worry, he won't hurt us,
I won't hurt you,,,
,,,or any kids,
No, no, no, Pietro, don't!
Pietro, stop!
No, no, no!
Pietro, stop,
Pietro!
-Mum's here, -We're screwed!
-Hi, -Hi,
-How are you doing? -I promised Leo I'd,,,
-What happened? -What?
-I mean, your face, -Oh, I was just--
-Were you playing a drama game? -Yeah,
I'm playing the part of Prince Charming,
I guess they went a bit over the top with the makeup,
-How are the kids? -Oh, they're having such fun!
-Really? -Yes, definitely,
-Leo too? -Yes, Leo too,
-Can I see them? -Well,,,
Sure, but,,,
-The thing is,,, Where's she? -This way, right?
-It's so dark here, -It's this way, actually,
It's dark because we're trying to recreate the stomach of the whale from Pinocchio,
What's that got to do with Prince Charming?
It's a mash-up of different fairy tales, something I wrote a long time ago,
-It's called A Platter of Tales, -"A Platter of Tales"?
The title is only temporary, though,
-Ouch! -Are you ok?
-Yes, -You must have hit something,
This way, Go ahead, please,
"All children, except one, grow up,
He had already had his chance to grow up, and he messed it up,
When it was time to go back to his mother, instead he decided
-to keep on flying," -That's Peter Pan,
I told you, it's "A Platter of Tales",
How have you managed? Did you have to torture them?
Well, in fact,,,
Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt, I just wanted to say hi,
-Hi, Mum, -Hi, Mum,
How are you?
Are you ok?
-I'm better, -Are you sure?
My ex-husband was right this time,
I'm glad you feel reassured,
Well, as you'll know by now, Leo's a very sensitive child,
He sure is,
I really like him,
He's adorable,
He's smart and polite,
One can tell he has a loving mother who takes care of him,
Thank you,
Are you sure they're not causing any trouble?
No trouble at all,
Good,
Well, then,,,
I'll inform the other parents
I've dropped by and the kids are perfectly fine,
That's very kind of you,
Good,
-Do you need a hand? -No, It's just a little tricky,
Oh, my God!
-No worries, I'm alright, -I'm sorry,
Look, it's my fault,
I was too intrusive, I'm rather cumbersome, so to speak,
-Physically, I mean, -No,,,
I'm so sorry, Does it hurt?
-No, no, no, Please, -I'm sorry,
-Are you alright? -I'm alright,
I hadn't seen her smile like that for a long time,
It must be because you're so average,
so utterly insignificant,
Thank you,
Mum, wait, There's something I need to tell you,
Where are you going?
I'm going back inside, and then I'm going to bed,
You're good,
I am, unfortunately, But I don't like it,
It's not what I want to do,
But my father wants me to be like him,
What do you want?
I don't know, but I don't want to play the piano,
I should just find the courage to tell him,
For me, you're far braver than you think,
You remind me of dachshunds,
Did you know that dachshunds are the bravest dogs on earth?
Yes, They're badger dogs, They hunt for badgers,
Badgers are really aggressive and fierce,
If you try to stick your nose into their dens,
they'll bite it off,
For me, dear Leo,
you're just like a dachshund,
How do you know that?
I'm a dog trainer,
The best,
I wish I had a dog,
Caterina told us you have one,
-Yes, -What's his name?
Cecchino,
Is it true you can't bring him here as he's with your ex-wife?
Can we go and see Cecchino?
You must be joking, Absolutely not,
Why can't Pasquale keep Cecchino?
-Because they had a deal, -But why?
Because Cecchino's a champion and he needs a trainer who has--
Character,
Hasn't Pasquale got character?
That's enough girls, with those straws, Those little balls really hurt,
Goodness me!
Stop aiming for my eyes!
Cut it out, please!
Stop it,
Ouch! Oh, come on!
What does it take to be a trainer with character?
You must be a winner,
Like Marta,
The next Agility Cup will be in two weeks, 1st prize, 50,000 euros,
I'm sure Marta will win again,
And she'll get a lot of publicity, too,
You hit me in the eye,
-They're coming, -No, no, no!
-Guys, just freeze, -What?
I haven't seen anything! I haven't seen anything!
Did that really work?
-Quick, -Let's go, kids,
Hurry up!
Go! Quick!
Go, go, go!
You scoundrel!
-How cute! -He's so funny!
-He's so sweet, -Good boy,
Be quiet, or they'll hear us,
I said be quiet,
-He's so sweet! -He's beautiful,
Why don't we steal him?
We could train him for the competition, win it, and then use the 50,000 euros
to open a beautiful dog school,
Are you out of your minds?
We're talking about the Agility Cup,
-Not now, Cecchino, -What's he doing?
It's a kind of thing we have,
He wants to dance,
-To dance? -Let's dance, then,
What are you doing? No!
Kids, no! This isn't the right time or place for that,
Plus, there's no music,
Great, now you're singing too? Stop it!
Kids, please,
You want to tame us
Now we'll make you pay
Jump, dance, do a twirl Do it all again
He's dancing!
Who stole my dog?
-I knew it, -Let's hide somewhere,
Go, go, go!
Hey!
Who's there?
Get out!
I'll unleash my bulldogs on you, I'm not joking,
Who's there?
Oh,,,
It's you,
Cecchino?
Let's go,
Wait, The giraffe,
The giraffe? Not again!
Sorry, sorry,,,
I'm sorry,
Hi, Paola, Good morning,
Good morning, Pasquale, How's it going?
-Everything's fine, -How are the kids?
-They're fine, -Good,
I've just called to tell you
I won't be able to get off from work before 9 p,m,
Yesterday, Stella told me you'll happen to be
in the Gianicolo area around that time tonight,
Can I leave something with you? It's a bag with some clean clothes for Leo,
I'll be in the Gianicolo area around that time,,,
Yes, sure,
And do you mind giving me a lift? I don't want to drive at night,
No, I don't mind at all,
Great, Thanks,
Well, see you at 9 p,m, then,
I'll see you at 9 p,m, by the fountain,
See you later,
Are you ready for the most romantic walk ever?
I told her all of Leo's trousers are dirty
so she'd have to bring some clean ones,
I said, Leo, mind you! My clothes are never dirty,
Hey! You're going to poison me here,
Remember where you should park your van?
Yes, you've told me hundreds of times,
-Don't talk about dogs, -Yes,
-It's fraud, remember? -Yes, I know,
-You're a children expert, -Right,
-Talk about children, not dogs, -Children, not dogs,
-Is that clear? -Yes,
-I don't want to do time again, -Right,
-Pasquale, -Yes?
Have fun,
No dogs,
Bye,
Through the poles!
Pipe tunnel!
Loser!
Did you call for me, madam?
I was just wondering,,,
How did Pasquale get in?
I don't know, madam,
-Are you sure? -Believe me, I,,,
You know I hate him, I'd have never let him or the kids in,
Which kids?
Which,,, kids?
BEST KIDS' CAKES
Oh, my God!
So you work long hours,
Yes, I do,
I try to deal with the children too,
but being alone that's a bit hard,
It was easier when my ex-husband was around,
Unfortunately, we were too different,
You know, I should have realised that earlier,
The thing is,,,
He was so handsome, so famous, so clever, so,,, pianist,
too much of everything,
You see, it was love at first sight,
When we met, we fell madly in love,
It was just incredible
and literally breathtaking,
And you? Are you with someone?
No, I'm separated,
I have no children,
I've only got a d,,, a dinghy,
I'm sorry, A dinghy,
-Oh,,, -We had this dinghy when we were together
and we'd go fishing, inflate it, then row off and,,,
get terrific sunstrokes together,
Yes, that's what we did,
That somehow helped us bond with each other,
-Of course, -Yes,
Anyway, one thing I know for sure,
the next time I fall in love, it'll be with an ordinary man,
Do you know what I mean?
An average guy,
Someone who is utterly insignificant,
Yes, Exactly,
That's good to know,
I mean, that's good,
because utterly insignificant men are usually amazing people,
I have a couple of utterly insignificant friends who are simply amazing,
They're great,
Really?
Sorry, but,,,
-Is that your car? -Yes,
Really? It's parked right in front of my van,
I always park it there,
Wow, this is unbelievable, What an amazing coincidence!
That's probably a sign,
Well?
-What is it? -Did you kiss each other?
What? No! We just said goodbye,
Were you an average, utterly insignificant guy?
Goodness gracious me!
He's perfect,
Now we only need a dog,
-It's out of reach, don't you get it? -Cecchino recognised you,
What if time goes by and he doesn't recognise you anymore?
-If you win, you'll have him back, -Straight away,
You could open a real school, full of dogs,
And we'll be always around,
I'm sorry, kids,
Pasquale!
Pietro is,,, Come inside!
At least tell me why, Pietro, look at me! Answer me!
-Pietro! -Pietro?
You can't leave like this, What happened?
I don't owe anything to these kids, Or to anyone,
Look, I know him,
He does that when he cares for someone, He'll come back,
Come on, cheer up!
Come to think of it, I know the best dog trainer in the world,
I'm sure he can lend us a dog for the Agility Cup,
Are these all yours?
They're not mine, They live with me,
-Have you got leashes? -They don't need them,
What if they run away?
Why would they?
Can't you see what we are?
What are you?
We're a pack,
So, what do you want from me?
We'd like to compete in the Agility Cup, We need a dog, A fast one,
I see,
One like,,, Jolly, for instance?
-Jolly? -Yes,
That Jolly? The one and only Jolly?
-Who's Jolly? -"Who's Jolly?"
Don't you read the papers, kids? He's the champion of champions,
Hearing that name makes the world of the Agility Cup tremble,
-Would you lend him to us? -Why ask me? You should ask him,
Jolly!
Jolly, if you don't mind,,,
We'd like to participate in the Agility Cup,
Basically, it's a competition--
You think he doesn't know what the Agility Cup is?
Right, I'm sorry,
Go on, Tell him more,
Fascinate him,
Seduce him,
I'll seduce him,
Jolly, you're absolutely gorgeous!
You're an extraordinary dog,
Should I hint at your good looks? At your elegance?
At your energy?
Jolly,,,
I need to participate in this competition,
-And I need to win for the money-- -Don't talk about money!
He hates that subject,
See? He's outraged, Look at him,
Apologise to him right away, Humiliate yourself!
Jolly, I'm mortified,
-Please forgive me, -Good,
-Sorry about mentioning money, -Entertain him,
-That was really-- -Make him laugh,
-"Entertain him"? -Make some funny faces, come on,
-Are you pulling my leg? -What do you think?
Ready, set, go!
Tyre, Up!
See-saw,
Up!
-Jump! -Through the poles!
Great!
Is he too slow?
It's an open competition,
He'll compete against much taller dogs,
-He needs to be faster, -What can we do?
He needs to feel we're a pack,
Loosen up,
Well done, Jolly!
Rotate your head,
Jump! Jump!
And,,, energy!
We are a pack!
Legs!
Never mind this one,
I'm sorry,
Three, two, one,,,
Tyre,
Through the poles,
Nine point two seconds,
Yeah!
Your little prize,
No!
You Taliban, iconoclastic Vandal!
Oh my goodness! My sister's here,
Now, I'll show him, I demand an explanation,
If Marta hadn't told me, how long would you have gone on?
And with my patients!
Letizia, I can explain,
-We will destroy you, -Tell us everything,
It'll take them years of therapy,
-Mia, come here, -Mum, listen, Pasquale's really good,
-Let's go, -Look, he's great,
Omar, let's go home,
-It's our fault, too, -We knew everything
and we didn't tell you,
I don't want to leave, I want a dog!
-I've pooed! -Not like this, kids,
It's my fault,
I'm the one to blame,
My friends have nothing to do with this,
Go home, kids,
Go,
I'm sorry, he's a shame for all dog trainers,
Have fun suing him, Bye,
What were you going to do with this imitation of a dog?
Someone may have made the right choice here,
Have you got any lawyer friends?
Or any friends at all?
I'm going to do my invoices, Bye,
"Someone's made the right choice,"
You traitor!
I hate you! You're horrible!
Traitor! I hate you!
Pietro, back to work now,
Traitor! I hate you! It's all over now, I don't want to see you anymore,
We used to be friends, And you've betrayed me, I hate you!
You don't know me at all,
How could you ever think I would betray you?
Start again,
Leo, please, Focus,
You've been distracted since the lesson started,
I'm done with playing the piano,
I don't like it,
I never have,
I only did it to please you,
Wake up! Wake up!
Hey,
Hi, good morning,
How kind of you to make coffee,
Yes, I really needed some,
Listen, I've talked to my kids here,
Apparently, things have changed here over the last few weeks,
There's been a bit of jealousy, a few misunderstandings,,,
Jolly wanted you to stay, which for me is perfectly fine,
What should I do?
We need to restore the balance at all costs,
I'll tell you what,
since I don't want them to be jealous,,,
I get it,
,,,I'm going to treat you really badly,
calling you something they loath, say "Tick",
How you do like that?
"Tick" sounds nice,
Come on, Tick! Let's get down to business,
Always sitting around,
Tidy up this place, mow the lawn, clean the roof, hang out the washing!
I see, we're doing all this for the dogs,
Of course, You have to take it seriously,
It's for our reputation, Got it?
Give me your wallet,
Pardon?
Give me your wallet! It's for the dogs, too,
-I see, but-- -Come on,
-I've only got-- -Just give it to me,
Come on, buddies!
Let's have some breakfast!
Let's go,
We're going to have great fun with Tick,
I've talked to my father,
I told him what I think about the piano lessons,
Now it's your turn,
You have to take part in that competition,
I gave up, Leo, I've only caused trouble,
That's not true, You're a great teacher,
Stella's never been this happy before,
Mia's no longer aggressive, Elvis hasn't broken any bones lately,
and Omar's bowels are as regular as a Swiss watch now,
-What are we? -A pack!
Come on,
Loosen up!
Rotate your head,
Jump!
Do stretching!
Energy!
Kyra, with Jennel Weber, from Germany!
Cecchino and the two-time winner of the Agility Cup, Marta Fiorini!
That's a new pair, which I'm sure could get excellent results,
Ladies and gentlemen, this is so exciting,
Apparently, not everyone in the crowd
is rooting for Marta Fiorini,
And hear this, we have a legend of our business,
The great, unparalleled, indestructible Jolly!
He's here with Pasquale Marolla,
Go get'em, Tick!
He's won the Agility Cup six times, I repeat, six times,
His wither height is just 32 centimetres,
Did you think he'd make you look taller?
Shall we make a bet?
What are you betting?
You've got nothing left to lose,
If I win, I'll take Cecchino back,
What if I win?
I'll quit for good,
We have a deal,
-Are you sure? -You proposed that,
Oh, right,
And finally, Lucky, with Tom Jackson, from Scotland!
They all start at once, Amazing,
A-Frame,,, Wait!
Cecchino seems to have sped up, He gets on the see-saw,
Perfect contact zone, He jumps! Cecchino!
Jolly sprints out of the gate,
Great start by Muffin too, He perfectly weaves through the poles,
Jump!
He gets on the see-saw, This one's very tight,
Jolly crosses the finishing line!
He weaves through the poles, That's brilliant, He jumps!
Cecchino climbs on the see-saw, He jumps!
Cecchino's the first to reach the final,
Ladies and gentlemen, Bruce has the lead,
Such an amazing stride, Bruce's definitely going to win this,
Wait, he gets a penalty!
It means five seconds will be added to his time,
Let's wait for the judges' decision,
The winners are Jolly and Pasquale Marolla!
We have our second finalist, ladies and gentlemen,
It's Jolly, with trainer Pasquale Marolla,
Unbelievable! Let's give it up for Jolly, Pasquale Marolla
and their little fans,
-We're a pack! -We're a pack!
We had very exciting semi-final rounds here at the Agility House,
dominated by one trainer,
Marta Fiorini and Cecchino seem to be perfect duo,
Some have criticised her strict, perhaps extreme ways,
but considering her results,
this is going to be a very tough final round for Pasquale Marolla and Jolly,
I know he's going to lose, He'll come back to our place, You'll say,
"Poor him, we can't leave him alone like a tramp,"
I'll start finding tons of dog hair in the shower box again,
-That's enough, Federico, -Yeah, sure,
The wonderful circuit at the Agility House is being inspected,
Every obstacle is being checked like two meticulous directors would do,
Will you let me shake hands and congratulate myself?
I would've never imagined you and that sketch of a dog
could make it this far,
Thank you,
May the best one win,
We're just waiting for the referee's signal,
As soon as he blows the whistle, they can start,
Cecchino,
Cecchino! It's me, Do you recognise me? Cecchino!
Pasquale, get a life, Forget about us,
The trainers are kindly asked to get to the starting line, Thank you,
We're waiting for the signal from the referee, Mr De Felici,
He's gained decades of experience,
He's about to blow the whistle,
Here we go!
Jolly with a great start, already at the tunnel,
Cecchino's behind, Jolly's at the see-saw,
Cecchino enters the pipe the tunnel, he's now at the A-Frame,
Jolly has the edge,
This is unbelievable, ladies and gentlemen,
-Go, go! -Cecchino jumps,
He's not giving up,
Cecchino's at the A-Frame, Perfect contact zone!
Jolly jumps, He flawlessly weaves through the poles,
Both fast and accurate,
Go, go, go!
Cecchino jumps, weaves through the poles,,,
Great entrance in the second pipe tunnel by Jolly,
Wait, what happened? Jolly's stopped!
-What are you doing, Jolly? -What's wrong with him?
-What's he doing? -Why?
Oh, no!
Jolly, no! Please, don't!
Cecchino jumps, He's catching up thanks to his immense class,
Who put biscuits over there?
She runs alongside his furry four-legged friend,
Guys, it was Marta, She cheated,
I saw everything,
Cecchino's at the second tunnel,
Marta Fiorini's radiant, Brilliant performance by Cecchino,
while Jolly keeps eating,
to the disappointment of his trainer Pasquale Marolla,
You want to tame us
Now we'll make you pay
He's at the see-saw,,, Cecchino has stopped!
Come on, move!
We're like the wind, then
Jump, dance, do a twirl Do it all again
This way,
Jump, dance, do a twirl Let's make it plain
Jump, dance, do a twirl Do it all again
Let's make it plain
He's now standing on his hind legs,
You idiot!
We're hearing some bad language at the Agility House,
Let's make it plain
Jolly's back on track!
Do it all again Jump, dance, do a twirl
Perfect contact zone, Jolly jumps!
Jolly wins the 33rd Agility Cup, the first open edition!
We're looking at something unbelievable here,
This is really amazing!
You are so incompetent!
Competition's not your thing, Victory's not your thing,
Life's not your thing!
Pasquale Marolla's little fans have invaded the circuit,
Surprises aren't over, apparently, Cecchino is dancing,
I was the first of his financial backers,
Yes, I believed in him from the very start,
I want a happy dog like that,
Jump, dance, do a twirl Here we go again
The world's turned upside down, I'd say
