“Ancora lei! Buonasera!”
“You again! Good evening!”
È martedì, sono le 9:15. L’uomo alto con la borsa nera sale. Il lungo cappotto. La faccia triste. Il primo posto.
It is Tuesday, 9:15. The tall man with the black case gets on. The long coat. The sad face. The first seat.
“Buonasera.”
“Good evening.”
“Io sono Rosa. E lei è...?”
“I’m Rosa. And you are...?”
Mi guarda nello specchietto per molto tempo.
He looks at me in the mirror for a long time.
“Jonas.”
“Jonas.”
“Jonas! Bene. Adesso siamo amici.”
“Jonas! Good. Now we are friends.”
Non dice di sì. Non dice di no. Guido.
He doesn’t say yes. He doesn’t say no. I drive.
Mercoledì chiedo della borsa. È nera e pesante. Ce l’ha sempre sulle ginocchia.
On Wednesday I ask about the case. It is black and heavy. He always has it on his knees.
“Cosa c’è lì dentro, Jonas? Una pistola?”
“What’s in there, Jonas? A gun?”
“No. Attrezzi.”
“No. Tools.”
“Attrezzi? Quali attrezzi?”
“Tools? What tools?”
“Piccoli attrezzi.”
“Small tools.”
Piccoli attrezzi, di notte, in una chiesa chiusa. Le vecchie chiese hanno oro e argento. Coppe d’argento, candele d’oro. Questa idea non mi piace. Provo a fare una battuta.
Small tools, at night, in a closed church. Old churches have gold and silver. Silver cups, gold candles. I don’t like this idea. I try to be funny.
