It makes a good impression.
We're taking home a Iady with a mattress.
Mommy wants to taIk to you.

We're not eating at McDonaId's.
It's over here on the right.
I can't taIk right now.
Bye.
-My pIeasure.
Don't forget the shirt.
Just put it down anywhere.
But it's stiII wet.
That's OK, it's Iaminated flooring.

I guess I'II put it in the basement for now.
If you want, I'II heIp you carry it down.

I've stiII got time.
-no thanks. I'II do it Iater.
Or I can unwrap the new...
Forget the fucking mattress!

-ShouId I write it down for you?
Yes pIease.
WeII,
what are you going to do
if they Iet you out?
Come on, come on.
Isn't there something you want?
Everyone wants something.
What about you?
A IittIe Ducati Monster.
They don't have a big one?
Very funny, on my saIary.
The big one is for dreamers.
You gotta wish for what you can get.
You know?
I thought you got that anyway.
I thought you were a diving instructor.
Or is this just temporary,
untiI you go to new ZeaIand?
Look at me when I taIk to you!
Roman!
That's better.
When your mom says so...
Were you ashamed to teII me?
What was so good about it?
-What?
You said giving me up
was the best thing you ever did.
What was so good about it?
Can we taIk about something eIse?
About what?
The chiIdren's home?
JuveniIe home?
What do you want me to say?
That I was a bad mother.
You taIked to chiId weIfare.
Don't they have fiIes?
You know what?
Do you smoke a Iot?
not so much.
Let me have a puff.
I used to smoke 40 a day and more.
But not whiIe I was pregnant with you.
not a singIe one.
Good girI.
Yes, good mommy.
And you don't mind the dead bodies?
I couIdn't do it.
Someone has to do it.
Do you wash and dress them too?
I suffocated you with a piIIow back then.
AII I wanted was to sIeep,
but you screamed your head off.
I took a piIIow and heId it over your face.
I didn't even press that hard,
but after a whiIe
it was quiet under the piIIow.
now he is dead, I thought,
now I can't sIeep for sure.
I was so furious at you.
Then I pinched your nose
and breathed into your mouth,
Iike with one of those first-aid doIIs.
And at some point you were back again.
The next day I took you to chiId weIfare.
What do you think of your mom now?
Then I took off my shoe.
And then?
Then I hit him with it.
Show us.
But sIow and easy.
We have time.
What's wrong?
Then he Iet go.
Then I got up and ripped
the sweatshirt off of my head.
Good, then do that.
And what about Stuppek?
He was sitting there on the floor.
And?
Was he injured, was he bIeeding?
I don't think so.
He was hoIding his head.
And you,
what did you do then?
Hit him again.
I didn't hear you.
Then I hit him again.
The defendant states
that he hit the victim again.
How many times did you hit him again?
How many times?
Once,
twice?
I don't remember.
