Description

Having tasted Harlan's super-bullets, Olimpia has no interest in sticking around for a confrontation. Sergio hustles her out of harm’s way:

“Let's get out of here! Rocco, Orazio, cover us!”

“You have to kill him! Kill the Dampyr!”

“Go! Hurry!”

“We need to stop her from getting in there! The door is armored.”

“I'm doing my best!”

“Close the door, Orazio! Quick!”

“Aahh!” (Kurjak shoots Orazio in the chest.)

“Come on!”

“Help me open it! But wha…?”

“Oh, crap! In his hand...” (grenades)

“You know something, friends? In Rome they say: nun se buggera er cantaro… ‘There’s no fooling the clever one.’” (Rocco tosses the grenades at Harlan and Kurjak.)

I am not sure what language Rocco is using there. It's not Italian or Latin. It may be the Roman blue collar dialect known as Romanesco, which was mentioned earlier in the story. Hence the "In Rome they say..."

Olimia better go hide in the bunker underneath her new ballroom.

He was speaking Grenadian.

It apparently is a Roman proverb incorporating Italian slang.

I like how the writer and artist are being authentic to the setting.

Damn things DID escalate pretty quickly! I wasn't expecting the cliffhanger to be grenades dropping but I'm sure Harlan and Kurjack will get themselves out of this mess!
