REHAN55

FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS

Pardon me.

Thank you.

They crushed my foot...

They crushed my foot and don't even apologize!

We're no longer lords in our own house!

- Shut up! - You shut up!

Just shut up, what did they do to you?

They've got a defense lawyer!

- Shame on you! - You should be ashamed!

- Knock it off! - Who are you anyway?

- Picking on an old lady? - Who's old?

I can't stand these people either.

Well said, you racist jerk!

- Ever had a good slapping? - You're not worth an answer!

What are you looking at?

- You know what you fucking need? - You're pitiful!

I'm pitiful? I...

Take your fucking hands off!

Great, good for you!

Just get a load of him...

What a shit... asshole!

- Do I call the police? - And the firemen!

Move it, I'm all alone and working my butt off.

Don't get obsessive,

Silvia's got a guy.

- Since when? - A week, she told me.

- Why didn't she tell me? - That's between you two!

Get to work, forget the bullshit!

Table 5.

- Fabio, get moving. - Going.

I live with her, I've more right than you.

- There she is. - Silvia!

I forgot the keys, can I have yours?

- Coffee? - No, I'm off, I didn't get a wink.

- Not only that! - Idiot!

- What cannibal did that to you? - You don't know him!

- When do we get the honor? - Never, you scare them off!

- Not true. - Can I have the keys?

- I'm on evenings, you? - Yes, all day.

I've always flaunted my boyfriends, you hide them, perfect!

- Three coffees. - The juice?

She changed her mind.

Table 1.

Maybe there should be more of us on Saturday nights.

Why? You're all so good, you work like crazy!

- We need four more. - That many!

The more you work, the more business and the more you earn.

I've got a list of kids who'd like to work,

but I don't take any, I do it for you.

The more of you there are, the less you earn, see?

Who else would give you a cut?

- Thank you, ma'am! - You're right to say, "ma'am".

He's monstrous, that's why we can't meet him.

- Mind your business! - I share with people I love.

Even too much! She needs her secrets.

- Friends have no secrets. - Stop being a baby!

Stop being a whore!

Finally, thought you'd never finish!

I'm beat, my legs are numb.

- Poor puppy! - No lay tonight!

- Fabio's not up for it tonight. - Same here, if we'd closed sooner...

Why's she always hanging around?

You're jealous!

- Of you? - Yeah.

- Bye, I'm off. - But tomorrow morning sharp!

Don't worry.

- Coming home tonight? - I don't know.

- I'd rather know. - Mind your own business for once!

Want to know who she's seeing? Follow her!

I will!

Luciano, let's go.

You're a drama queen!

Monkey, you're a pretty monkey!

You're nuts.

Five minutes and you leave!

Is Silvia really in love or is it just sex?

Silvia again?

- Does she excite you? - Silvia?

She's like a sister.

Am I like a sister to you too?

Let's go in there, I'll screw you.

Oh God, I'm sorry, forgive me, Giorgio.

Not the overhead light,

that would kill anyone, turn it off.

Aunt Carmela, when did you get here?

Viviana, now my name's Viviana.

Hi, Giorgio.

- Let's see how you've changed. - Not much in 5 months!

- I'll be off. - Bye, say hi to your mom and dad.

- Let me see. - What's the matter?

You're not a kid anymore, you're a woman!

A touch-up here and one there...

- I'm 25. - The right age to stop awhile.

- How long will you stay? - I'm just passing through.

No more roots, I want to be light, like a feather.

At a certain age, you must ask yourself a fundamental question:

How long will I live? It's the year 2000,

I can't wait for things to happen.

I have to grab what I want, get back in circulation,

I have to attack life, experiment.

I have to sleep, if you keep cackling, I can't.

Elena, get some sleep yourself, forget Tiziana, Viviana...

It's time to come to bed, or you'll wake me.

She's aged...

a lot.

So many cakes!

You could stay for lunch.

- A girl's already invited me. - She can come too.

No, she invited me, she must be around here.

Let's look for her!

- Who's that superb hunk? - He's ajerk.

- You know him? - No, I know he's a shit racist.

- He acts like only he has it. - Makes it exciting.

Who invited him?

Oh, he's the mystery man?

I guess so.

Nice buy!

He's just a piece of meat.

- Since when are you a vegetarian? - Fabio, Elena...

This is Antonio.

- Coming to the table? - He's Silvia's boyfriend.

My father.

Let's sit down.

You just brought him along?

I did it for you, you were curious! Satisfied?

I'd say you are, darling.

Why not keep it in a garage? It's safer.

He wants to flash it.

Are you jerking me? They tried to steal it twice!

You leave the hood down, you never raise it.

- They'd slash it. - It's hot, how about a motorcycle?

It doesn't start or it starts and floods.

It seizes.

- What? - That's what you say.

An engine that seizes is heating irregularly,

when it's not hermetically sealed, air can get in.

The friction increases for lack of lubrication.

That's a lot clearer, it seizes!

There's a simple remedy:

Tighten the cylinder nuts, the cylinder head and spark plugs,

that eliminates the lack of a hermetic seal.

Antonio is a mechanic, he owns a garage.

Is that where you met? He fixed your skates?

- No, we met at a disco. - How original!

Better than a chat room, I know who I'm getting!

- I noticed! - Would you like him?

It's my fucking fault he wrecked it again? He'll sue?

He's a fucking faggot!

Tell that frigging queer I'll bust his ass!

A scent of Oxford!

I won't, he'd like that! The car was perfect.

He has it in for me, he thinks I screwed his wife,

a mega whore who shoved it at me a thousand times,

even she knows her husband's a faggot!

You deal with it, or it won't end up pretty!

I can't stand these hysterical fairies, I'd like to send them!

So, you didn't find me, not today or tomorrow.

Sorry, problems with a customer, ajerk.

He's not the only one.

- Who's the other? - Think about it.

Thank you for this splendid evening,

our view of life is clearer now, so we can go off to bed.

Silvia, your surprises are endless! Will you be home?

Of course, tomorrow morning.

You live with him?

Yeah, with this hysterical fairy, poor thing.

Sir... Goodbye, ma'am.

Her men are her business, but just don't introduce him.

Silvia's irredeemable, she took this twerp!

You don't like him at all?

You do?

- Not a bit! - He's homophobic.

- Meaning? - And a racist.

- How do you know? - I just do.

- Silvia can't want that guy. - You can't say who I'm with.

He's a troglodyte, what do you talk about, cars?

- We don't talk. - What do they do?

We screw, it's great.

You can't be with a guy just for a good screw.

For lots less! You don't even know their names.

But you're having an affair, just screw him!

- Are you in love? - I don't know!

- But you're pushing me. - What's it to us?

Lots, everyone's against me!

The more you're against him, the more I stick.

- I'm better off with him. - You'd fall in love to spite us?

- Do what you want. - Tell Fabio!

He thinks our men are never worthy of us!

That's not true, I love Giorgio.

Antonio twists my balls and we do his.

- He said I'm... - What?

A touchy little faggot.

- And Giorgio? - A slick with money.

- How about Elena? - She's like Holy Mary.

Thinks acts like only she has it.

I don't give a shit about your friends.

I never want to see them again.

- Here's Gianna Nannini! - Idiot!

- What's your Tuscan Fascist doing? - Waiting for me.

- Why doesn't he come over? - He thinks the place is crap.

- Or we're the crap? - He knows you snob him.

I'd never snob a guy like that, I'd do other things.

I do those things myself.

Open them.

- And so? - What?

- Don't you see anything? - That old gas station?

- No. - No?

If I say: A sweet and savory American breakfast?

Still nothing?

A self-service because the university's nearby...

But the real business is cocktails in the evening!

You're a genius!

They're leasing it for twenty years,

we have to apply.

- The money to remodel? - We'll find it.

- We could get a loan. - With what guarantees?

- Giorgio, his parents... are rich! - I don't think so.

A little enthusiasm... a pub all our own!

- It would be so cool! - So?

You know what we have now?

- A dream? - No, much more.

A project!

It's beautiful.

Hi.

- Silvia needs the keys. - She starts at 7.

- Can I leave them with you? - Okay, I'll see to it.

- On the counter? - Yes.

You can't stand me, can you?

- You and I are opposites. - I know.

But you know the saying about opposites.

Would you read me the last three lines?

The last three lines on the right.

Well?

"Pussup weel... "

What does that mean, are you dyslexic?

Yes.

- Hi, Auntie! Hi, Mom! - Hi, darling.

This has to be done by tonight I'm behind.

Why's she crying?

Why are you crying?

I always cry when I leave a piece of my life.

Your mother's inflexible.

Her previous reincarnation was over,

so I asked her to free the house of her religious relics.

- I'm taking a new path. - Who knows where it will lead!

To a psychiatric clinic?

You'll be the one to lead me to a psychiatric clinic!

Elena,

please, talk to her.

- What should I say? - Ask how long she's staying.

- Ask her yourself! - Quiet.

Do you want her to go or stay? I don't understand.

There's nothing to understand!

Every time she changes personality and goes, I swear it's the last time,

then I fall for it again.

I can't have her sleeping under a bridge!

You feel pity for her? I don't believe it!

Glasses exist!

Please, tell her she can't treat me like this,

that this house is no hotel and I'm not her servant.

Mom, it's not...

- Don't get me into this! - No sense whispering.

I know you're talking about me.

Want me to leave again?

I'll just make a call and disappear!

- Some people want me. - Sure, the Internal Revenue!

Actually, even they don't, you have no income.

- I live on annuity. - Mine!

I had to sell the last property my husband left me.

We'd never go there!

Because you even hate nature, you love just yourself!

Here, Diana, this is on the house.

Thank you.

- How's it going? - Like shit.

I have an exam tomorrow, my roommates made ruckus all night.

Have you done the anatomy exam with cadavers?

- A long time ago. - Gross, isn't it?

A little,

but studying Medicine, you have to get used to it.

At first, whatever disease I studied,

I knew I had all the symptoms,

every one!

That doesn't happen anymore.

- How many exams left? - Not many, it's my last year.

Then I'll leave and do postgraduate work abroad.

I envy you, I'd love to travel.

- Call if you need anything. - Thank you.

Mom?

Mom?

Can't sleep?

- No. - Me neither.

- Can I sleep with you? - Sure.

Snuggle.

Snuggle up.

Oh, please!

Just on the edge!

Three can fit.

Tonight there are already three of us, remember?

And now there are four of us.

Michele would have been 22 tomorrow, I know.

You can hug me, I don't break.

An awesome cappuccino just the way you like it: Piping hot.

Thank you, today I'll get the subject of my thesis.

I should be charged up, but I'm just tense.

- Elena! - Excuse me.

A beer for that customer, please.

I have to go to the pharmacy a moment.

Have you ever fallen for a friend's boyfriend?

Have you ever fallen for a friend's boyfriend?

Just anyone's boyfriend, yes, a friend's, no.

- Why? - Do you like Giorgio?

- He's a handsome guy. - Would you lay him?

Are you an idiot? Sure!

- Really? - I'd give him little screw!

Would you lay someone you don't respect as a person?

I lay them even before I know they're people! What's with you?

Nothing, I'm stupid sometimes too.

Anyway Silvia won't be home tonight either.

And Luciano?

- We broke up. - So soon?

You're acting strange these days.

No, why?

Look, I know what you're up to, what's in your head.

Got nothing to tell me?

No.

What's got into you, you and that other guy?

What other guy?

You want to become...

real entrepreneurs?

Fabio told me about the pub.

No, it's just a dream for now.

I wish you'd told me, we've been together for two years.

Asshole!

Fuck off!

- Are you okay? - Yes.

It's Silvia.

It's Giorgio.

First no answer, then it's off.

- You don't know where she went? - No.

- You really like this place? - Why not?

Look!

I'm an idiot for asking her to be in the project!

Darling, absolutely no way.

It's shitty, got bad energy, I don't like it.

- I do. - You do?

A lot.

I thought I'd knock this wall down and put in a counter,

refined stuff.

A bit uppity!

Yeah, uppity, not bitchy!

- I'd like it to be a hangout. - If no one comes?

Good grief!

If you never risk you'll never do anything!

What risks have you taken?

I'd use fake rust fixtures

and then colored tiles, it'll be nice.

Thanks.

- Got a map of the place? - In my scooter.

I'll get it.

What does that guy do to you?

Nice things.

He does?

Fabio and I want to have a pub, a snack bar, a restaurant.

I have a thousand ideas.

What's it like inside?

I don't know.

This way!

13 YEARS TOGETHER, YOU'RE SUPER!

THE GAS STATION

They'll give us the place, it's ideal, right on the beach.

The rent still hasn't been set...

Aren't you racing a little?

We can't miss the season,

with the recession, this is the time to invest, to enlarge.

Will you make the deposits?

What's wrong?

I don't know, I don't want to work to death,

besides what I've got is enough.

Not for me, I need new stimulus.

So, one place isn't enough? You want a chain!

Yeah.

Why not in the morning, Giovanni's sleeping, it's a shame to wake him.

I'm not, you could pick us up a bit earlier.

She's back? Come on, let's go!

Who was she last time?

Isabella, Sme... no, Cosima!

Now it's Dorinda.

It's too exotic, we can call her Dora, it's leaner.

Giovanni, sweetheart, let's go!

- When did she get back? - This morning, from Montreal.

She spent a week in jail,

she was demonstrating against using animals in beauty creams,

they kicked her out of the country!

At least she didn't pay for the trip.

- What is she now? - Herbivorous!

Vegan and animalist, not like your kids.

You make us eat other's pain, you feed us on suffering,

our plates are dripping blood.

- She's already making converts. - We'll hold out.

I'll help you.

Come on, honey.

Guenda, get going!

You'll come back to Grandma!

Get going!

Dad went overboard.

It was Sunday for him too, wasn't it?

Why leave the living room like that?

We watched the game.

I don't care what you did, just clean up.

- I was tired. - You?

I worked like crazy and picked up the kids, right?

I'm fresh as a daisy!

Turn off the light.

Aliens can't get into the water, can they?

No, they're not little fish.

You were supposed to wash him, not bathe, he'll be late for school.

He's not going and I'm not going to work, he'll stay with me.

Why didn't you get a house with two bathrooms instead of a pool!

Guenda, get dressed.

Aliens!

You have aliens on the brain.

Hear what these women say?

What did I tell you?

Isn't it wonderful?

Yes, but I won't let it become a habit.

Well, I don't say every week,

but at least twice a month,

you should dedicate one afternoon to yourself,

the body should be reconciled with nature, both inside and out.

You know what? I'm going for a breast check in two hours

and you're coming too.

No objections, today we do everything together.

- What's this? - A fine.

- Another? - No, the same one.

- But it's increased! - I didn't pay it.

- Why not? - I forgot, I'll do it tomorrow.

- Right, but with interest. - Stop it!

Stop what? It's now 400 euro!

You can read numbers, at least!

You always pay the bills,

I thought this fucking time too.

Now I pay your fines? I'm fed up checking everything,

running after you like a kid! What do you do all day,

except check on that garage?

Get changed, we're not going out.

What the fuck's wrong? All this for a fine?

He's Mr. Show Off on his motorcycle, it's me who pays!

You're rubbing it in?

Who's paying for the car and the watch you like so much?

And Guenda's swimming lessons?

Fuck off, Elena.

- Good. - Look at me! Fuck off.

- Good. - Fuck off!

- Run off, you coward! - Bitch!

You can't even hold a conversation.

Why did you take your jacket off?

Sometimes I'd like to be the child of separated parents.

Glasses exist.

I won't reply to that!

Two weeks ago Dora offered me the works at a spa:

Massage, facial, manicure.

We even had a sauna.

It was so nice.

Then she asked me to come with her to a doctor friend,

she had an appointment for a breast check-up.

She insisted I have an examination too,

even though I had no appointment.

They were very kind.

So, I had a thorough check-up, a mammogram...

and forgot about it.

A week ago the doctor called:

"Hello, your exams are ready

please come by so I can explain them".

I went the day after.

He was very professional.

Very nice too... but that's beside the point.

He had me sit down,

pulled the exams out,

he started explaining

and I started understanding and not understanding.

Then he put the X-rays on one of those film readers

that light up.

He pointed with his finger:

"Here... here...

here... " and went on talking,

he was explaining and saying:

"Like this... like this...

this and this".

'Like this' what?

I did more exams and...

things were positive every time.

Okay...

Caught in time it can be cured.

- And you caught it in time! - Certainly! Right?

An operation is enough,

I'll talk to the doctor.

Not like it is now.

It has to be reduced first.

Today I'm having a preparatory injection

for the chemo

and I start the first cycle tomorrow.

The same thing happened to a friend two years ago.

- She was cured, right? - No, she died.

No... in an accident!

- She got hit by a car. - She committed suicide?

No, actually, it was all going fine,

she was in remission.

You're an idiot, you know?

I'm sure you've been told you're an idiot!

I'm sorry to give you such a shock.

Things will change,

who knows about the side effects,

maybe I won't be able to...

Antonio!

Let him go.

You'll be cured of it,

I'm sure, don't worry.

I can't lose you too.

It's mathematically impossible.

Why couldn't it have happened to me?

I'm useless,

I don't have anyone.

Not even cancer wants you!

- Elena Vergari? - Yes.

Come please.

Last room on the left.

- Vergari? - Yes.

Take a seat in that chair, I'll be right with you.

Are you done?

Sorry.

Are you stealing my side effects?

How are you feeling?

I don't know, I'm fine for now.

- Want a wash and set? - I have no time for an act.

- Is Antonio with you? - Not here, please.

Teresa! Will you do this lady?

This way.

I'm not making a scene. Is he sleeping at your place?

No, he left me this morning forever:

"Maricla, this is the end" and he walked out.

I never tried to take him and I was okay with that.

A screw whenever he wanted...

I didn't even mind when I learned about the others.

Great, there are others!

Don't you know him?

He can't keep it in his pants.

He's generous, just ask.

But don't worry, he won't leave you.

Even if I love him, I won't stand in the way.

- Thanks a lot. - No problem!

Are you through?

What's all this?

Why didn't you say anything? You're screwing someone else too?

Not yet, but it's none of your business.

One thing, if you see him, tell him I'm looking for him.

No, he'll never come back to me!

He made me go nuts, I got seborrhoeic dermatitis.

I got cancer, imagine that!

I can do your hair, if you want, I'm really good.

Thanks anyway, but I'm going to be bald.

I make great wigs, it's free for you!

I'd pay you, I don't want a thing from you.

- Blonde or brunette? - Redhead!

Redhead.

Good god, you have no shame!

Let go of me!

You dickhead, let go!

I'll kill you, you asshole!

You piece of shit!

Piece of shit.

Hi.

Hi.

The kids have just gone to sleep.

Giovanni fell asleep at the table,

there was nothing on TV so Guenda went to bed too.

- Did you see Fabio? - No, why?

He left a few minutes ago.

- Have you eaten? - I'm not hungry.

There's some vegetable soup.

Should I heat it up?

It's fine like that.

Guenda got excellent in mathematics.

She's smart!

I'm at the pub all day tomorrow.

Should Mom take Guenda to the pool or will you?

- What time? - At 5.

I can pick her up...

Don't worry, if Mom goes, she'll just stay.

The soup's good.

Thank you.

I found your glasses today.

Where were they?

Under the cushion on the couch.

Has Monday's reservation been confirmed?

Yes, we're full.

- The mayor's outside, will you go? - No, I will.

- You're sure? - Yes.

Elena, remember when you did your last school play?

You talked about it for years!

I saw the photos, you took them in secret.

She was so proud of you.

Elena, can you hear us?

Are you in stereo?

This isn't intensive care, she's not in a coma.

All that's missing is her favorite music

and I'll be in coma myself.

She's just sleeping, they gave her a sleeping pill.

But, if you want to chat,

I'm wide awake.

I'll keep you company.

Did I wake you?

Sorry, I get hungry at night.

Green apples, the doctor prescribed them.

You know: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away".

I eat three, at night, and get the opposite effect.

Pleased to meet you,

Egle Santini, your roommate.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma, bad stuff in the lungs.

- It's my breast. - Yeah, yeah...

I know all about you, how do you feel?

Confused.

- I hadn't seen you yet. - You've been asleep since you came!

But I met the clan,

Mom, Auntie and those two hunks who never say a word.

One's a real piece, too bad he's lost to us women.

He really looks gay?

The sand-colored T-shirt with pink edges,

sleeveless, so those tattooed muscles bulge out,

the tight pants leaving nothing to the imagination,

the surly face, shaved head...

He's too manly to be hetero.

He's a macho-queer.

A vintage throw-back of the Village People.

- That's Antonio, he's my... - I don't miss a one!

I have radar... believe me.

When I was 12 I had a fling with the son of family friends.

Michele was his name, gorgeous!

One Sunday, big dinner at my house,

with friends and relatives,

among which were Michele's parents.

I take him to my room and...

After a while my father goes to smoke on the terrace

and glances into my room,

he sees us with our pants down.

He comes into the room and hauls off at me, punches Michele.

We burst into tears and start pulling our pants up,

but he doesn't...

want us to, and know what he does?

He opens the door and shouts: "Come here!

Come and see what the little queers are doing!"

Fabio, I'm making the deposit, should I wait?

No, I'll see you at home.

Bye, Antonio.

- And did they come? - No, but it's the same humiliation.

- Did you ever see him again? - No.

- Why not? - They separated us.

Soon after that he had an accident

and left us forever.

In time I became good friends with his sister.

Elena?

He was Elena's brother?

It's the beach pub! Weren't you against it?

I changed my mind. Sign it!

I wish I had someone doing things for me. Always there, affectionate...

Good for you, you married a younger man!

- Look, it's not... - My husband's perfect, right, honey?

How many children do you have?

- Her and me... - Two, a boy and a girl.

Egle has an exceptionally sharp eye for detail,

she saw right off: Fabio's my husband and Antonio's gay.

Good for you!

- What are you eating? - Seeds.

Excellent for the intestine.

- They look really good. - Want some?

No, thank you.

Help yourselves but no one eats until we're all here.

- Are they happy chickens? - Why happy?

If they were raised in the open, they're happy.

Did Auntie tell you that?

Auntie's right, they were such happy chickens!

Sure, at least before they got eaten.

Go tell the nutritionist her sawdust soup is ready.

It's not what it seems.

- So? - She's coming.

Are there happy pigs too?

I guess so.

- Want some? - The salad's ready.

- When was she hospitalized? - Four days ago.

Chemo doesn't agree with her. Have we tried taxanes?

Isn't it too experimental? I'd like to do another cycle.

No, let's try it!

A very dark cappuccino.

Piping hot and extra frothy.

Bar Tarantola, Elena.

Of course! Bar Tarantola.

It was a long time ago and with all the patients I see...

- Diana, right? - Yes, Diana.

Elena...

When you get out now,

do everything you never had the courage to do,

do like I will when I get out.

I like a guy? I'll screw him.

I want to tell someone to fuck off? I will.

Take it like an opportunity.

If you say "think positive", I'll jump out the window.

You can't imagine what I'll do when I get out!

Lend me your gay friend, I'll convert him.

I'll come visit.

I wonder who'll be here. No old hag, I hope.

Here they are! All three of them came.

What good girls!

Hi.

Don't give a damn.

I don't like being photographed like that.

- You look good in a wig. - That's a lie.

Look, you came out nice.

So, so...

Why are you taking all these pictures?

Why do you have to take all these pictures?

To remember you.

Why do you have to remember me?

If you're gone...

Who said I'll be gone?

Dad?

No, he said no, but I know you will be.

Does Giovanni know that too?

No, he just thinks about Martians!

Dad has nothing to do with it, really,

don't scold him.

Darling, I'm undergoing treatment.

I don't want to hear it.

I don't want to hear it.

Elena?

Breathe!

Open your eyes!

C'mon, open them!

Stay here.

Anna, I'm taking Elena to the hospital.

Yes, she's not well.

Come to the house, keep an eye on the kids.

Okay, I'll call you when I get there.

Dad!

Sweetie, Grandma is coming, watch your brother.

Isn't this a pretty scarf?

I'm wearing it for you.

If you'd warned me, they could have put you with me.

Where are you now?

In our room, but someone else is in your place,

Tutankhamun, an ancient mummy.

All that's missing are Japanese tourists snapping photos.

I'll speak to the head nurse, there's a free bed here,

I'll reserve it for me, before it goes to someone else.

I'm warning you,

your gay friend won't get away from me.

I've got to bite his butt.

- I wouldn't do that. - Why?

Egle, come here,

I have a confession.

Tell me.

Antonio's not gay,

he's my husband.

The gay one's Fabio.

Why didn't you tell me before?

I didn't want to ruin your radar.

So I'll bite your butt instead!

- Don't make me laugh! - You have to.

It's like the other time, you're just more stressed.

You'll be out in a few days,

so we can meet outside.

You're getting out?

I'd say so this time.

You won't pretend you don't know me outside?

Why?

Some evil people say I cause

embarrassment in society.

But it's not true,

I've always had one motto in life...

sobriety.

I don't know what to do anymore.

I don't know when to eat, when to sleep.

It's like having to learn everything over again.

I feel disoriented.

I feel lost even at home.

Will you cut it out with that fucking phone?

Here I am with my heart on my sleeve and you send messages.

- No, I'm playing. - Think that's nice?

I'm playing with Elena.

She invited me.

- Who's winning? - Guess! She's got all the tricks.

Now I'll sucker her.

Suckered!

Now it's her turn.

Will you teach me?

Sure.

You...

at the start, with me...

The kids?

- They're fine, they're with Anna. - Good.

At the start, with me,

at the start of our affair, was it just physical?

Please!

Have you ever esteemed me?

I love you, Antonio,

and have from the first moment.

I love you for what you are, I never wanted you to change.

They all thought I was too much for you.

Bullshit!

I'm the only one who knows what you're like,

the only one who knows how much,

despite everything, I can love you.

What are you doing?

Antonio?

Stop it!

- Egle! - She's sleeping.

Antonio, please...

Please, no!

Please, I'm not clean...

Thank you.

Just one word, thank you.

For what?

Oh my god, you weren't asleep?

- No. - How embarrassing!

Why?

Luckily I wasn't sleeping, it was a gift.

Just think,

reduced the way you are...

I guess nothing's disgusting to men!

Egle!

I'm so sorry, Elena.

What can I say?

The truth is every patient is different,

each one has his own story.

When I recognized you, I took it as a sign,

I thought: "I know her,

it can't be coincidence after all this time".

I wanted to think you were here for me.

For you like for everyone,

but you're luckier than others.

- I don't see how. - You are though.

Because you're not alone,

you have lots of people who love you

and this counts for so much.

Because your markers are normalizing,

you respond well to the drugs, Egle didn't have these things.

Did you say this to Egle too?

I never lie to my patients, not even to Egle.

You're all specialized in lying

and maybe you even enjoy it.

What would you be without patients?

With or without patients, we're still people.

Think about what I said,

Egle's death isn't your own

and you can't give up.

Elena...

Elena...

Here's Elena!

- She's so pretty! - Auntie's little love!

Can I hold her?

- She's been baptized, she'll cry. - I make babies laugh.

Here's the cake, I made it myself.

Stop pulling at my clothes, hear me?

Sorry, darling.

My love.

Want some cake?

Come on, I made it for you.

Hello?

Yes, speaking.

What?

Elena?

When did it happen?

What? She ran away. How could that happen!

Wait.

Yes, she's here.

Don't call her Elena,

please, don't call her Elena.

- I love you. - Me too.

Doctor?

Yes, we're almost there, two minutes.

Okay, thank you.

Asshole!

- Are you okay? - Yes.

- Silvia's coming in an hour. - I'm not here for Silvia.

Want coffee?

Giorgio's outside with friends, Fabio's there, are you crazy?

Yes...

for you.

Drink your coffee and go!

- What is it? - Open it.

Have you flipped?

We've met just a few times and you give me a ring?

I don't even know if I'll see you again.

That's why,

so even...

if I don't see you again, you'll know

you're the woman of my life.

50 lire, that tightwad!

Thanks for the coffee.

There can be no secrets among us.

Fabio's right, if you've been with Antonio, Silvia has to know.

- She's your best friend, call her. - Giorgio will kill himself.

- That's not our business. - If you're honest, tell him.

Not him, but Silvia's a friend...

- You have to tell her! - Or what friendship is it?

- You have to know who Antonio is. - It was just three times.

- Three times? - Actually, four.

Wow!

To confess one quick lay, okay, but four...

- Four's an affair. - Or a bad habit.

If she finds out like I did, it would be worse.

You didn't find out, I told you.

No, he found out himself, he's no idiot.

- C'mon, call her. - Absolutely no way.

You've always been honest.

You need the courage of your actions, be yourself,

being consistent is important.

Look who's talking!

I've always been consistent.

Consistent? You have no idea what consistency is!

I've been consistent in putting up with you!

You? What about me?

I put up with your oddities, your personality changes,

Who knows your name anymore?

Are we together or not? I left Carlo for you.

No, you've never forgiven him for what happened to Michele.

Don't you dare talk about him, not even his name!

Silvia, it's Elena,

I have to talk to you,

it's important, can we have lunch?

At Simone by the Sea, okay?

Not tomorrow at the pub, it concerns just us.

No, it's nothing serious.

Bye.

- Go get dressed. - I'm already dressed.

You can't confess to your best friend that you screwed her boyfriend

dressed like a truck driver.

- Bitch! - Yeah, I know.

What's the matter?

We have to talk.

How long have we been friends? You're my best girlfriend.

- Yeah, except for Fabio... - Sure, Fabio.

He lives with you, I introduced you

and thanks to me you have ajob, we do everything for each other.

Yes.

And even if we'd done

something very serious, we'd say so.

Friendship comes before anything else.

This means not judging, forgiving...

Even if it might seem hard sometimes,

friends have to tell all.

There should be no secrets, they'll come out sooner or later anyway.

How can you lie to your best friend?

A terrible thing, it makes you feel sick,

you feel like a piece of shit!

I can't stand this.

I told him every way possible, he didn't believe me,

he said I was a paranoid nutcase, but I'm not crazy.

Please believe me,

I didn't do it on purpose, I swear, neither did he,

he tried to resist every which way.

Poor Giorgio!

We did all we could not to fall in love.

- Please, forgive me. - You're in love with Giorgio?

And him too, with you?

- And Antonio? - Antonio, huh?

It was just to break up with Giorgio.

Could I love that guy? He's a hick, short on neurons!

How can you talk? He's good for a quick lay.

But he doesn't even screw well.

I used him to say to Giorgio: "Stop, stop... "

But we just can't.

Elena, please...

Please, forgive me!

I need something stronger.

I'm such a shit!
