Così passano i giorni: Mast'Errico gli insegna il mestiere e Don Rafaniello, uno scarparo che Mast'Errico tiene ospite a bottega, gli insegna a pensare sugli uomini e sulle cose.

And these are the risks: police dogs, scanners, customs, infiltrators - and if you do it right, it will make you rich. And if you don't, you'll spend your life in jail.
