Attention, please. Attention, please.

A four-year-old boy has been reported lost.

His name is Peter.

Whoever finds him is kindly asked to bring him to a refreshment stand.

Hold on, you still... Well, how are you?

Good. Good. And a little asleep, but... Your folks, didn't they show up yet?

They ought to be here in about a half hour. And off we go. What do you do?

I imagine I'll take the boat out.

Not a good swim for me.

I feel sorry for you.

We're going to have to get started, sir.

It's getting late and we have other work to do. I understand.

Well, let's get on with it.

William, my dear, I'm sure you'll understand.

I would rather sit in the car while you go in there. I really don't feel up to

this. All right, my dear.

See Luigi your dear grandmother what's left Two

years in there. We'll do it

Ciao, Sonia.

I'm sorry to be so late.

Hi, Uncle Guillermo.

Awful traffic.

Yes, it is. Hi, Luigi.

You came alone?

Where's your father?

He's very busy today. He couldn't make it.

Fairly typical.

How can you look at that?

I think I'm impervious.

Just wrap her up like this. She won't fall apart again.

Well, sir, shall we proceed?

Yes, go ahead.

Is the burial plot upstairs, sir?

Yes.

Mmm, absolutely delicious.

Nobody can tell me I'm mean to you. I went all the way to Mergelina to pick

out the fresh clams for you.

I suppose that was the reason you couldn't make it to the cemetery.

Call me a coward. I'm too squeamish for that sort of thing. I prefer to remember

Mama as she was.

That's one excuse.

Do you think this is the time to talk about it? Mama wouldn't have approved.

Oh, Concilia, why is it we never see you around Bologna? Be nice.

You know what life is like with your sweet little brother-in-law. He haunts

the clubs till Friday end.

And it's no different, believe me, when we're on holiday on the Isle of Capri.

That's where my travels end.

All right, Gofredo, let's hear it. What was it you wanted to talk to me about?

This isn't the moment.

Let's finish dinner first. I prefer it.

You think discussing it would ruin my appetite, I imagine.

No, nothing like that.

Just a deal I've been offered and an investment.

Very sound.

And I need a loan.

Are you in trouble again?

Trouble? You're kidding? Just the opposite.

If I can back a certain deal in Venezuela, I'm a millionaire in six

months. Venezuela?

Yes. Let me get this straight. How are you hoping to raise the funds you need?

Well, selling this house.

You're joking.

Have you gone out of your mind?

I'd never allow you to do such a thing.

Sell the house you and I were born in. Our house.

You must have taken leave of your senses. I'm going through a bad time.

Try to understand.

So what? So I need money.

I know this house is yours too, but for God's sake, do something.

If you help me, I'll get out of your life, all right?

You live up north. You hardly ever come down to Naples. You don't need it.

That money would help me get to Venezuela.

And then, I promise you, you'll never see me again.

You're crazy, Goffredo.

Well,

it sounds like you're going to Venezuela.

Let's go into my room.

Those two are probably going to be at it for hours and hours.

You like mimosas?

They're full of joy, I think.

Don't you think they're kind of magical?

I left my diary open.

I'm sorry.

May I?

Sure, go ahead.

I'll show you.

That's me as a baby.

And this one's a granny.

And this?

Go on, can't you guess?

Can't tell, it's too blurry.

That's you, Luigi.

I took it when you weren't looking.

Really? Sure.

The last time you came down in April.

Sonia, you were 10.

You were 15 or 16.

And I worshipped you like a god.

I wanted a picture of you to keep under my pillow.

Good morning, sir. Morning, Julia.

I'm not Carla. I'm Alessia.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Alessia.

Mr.

Moscati? Yes. Good morning.

Good morning, Mary Ellen. I had a call for you. Mr.

Fabry is going to be here in about 15 minutes and wants to see you in his

office then.

Okay, thanks.

Fine with me. I'll meet you tomorrow at 6.

Just walk in. It's open.

Come on, Luigi.

Yes, that's right. Okay, bye.

Pull up a chair.

I'd like you to know I'm pleased with the way you're working out.

Thank you very much.

The report on our investment possibilities in Romania is a very big

import trendsetter. I even heard that because of it, the Japanese are sending

a representative here.

It's very kind.

So, you're about to get married.

Yes, sir. As a matter of fact, I am.

The girl's from a good family, I hear.

On Cinzia's behalf, I thank you, too.

Do you know my wife?

Yes, I met her in the office once.

If you don't mind my saying so, I think you've made a good choice.

Thank you.

By the way, there's a favor I'd like to ask you. Would you view a piece of

property with her?

I'd like to know what you think.

So, what's your opinion?

I see potential.

I think I should buy it.

According to the data that I've compiled, you're not going to have a

problem with building permits.

I mean, the town council's a brew bringing water, sewage, electricity in

here, as well as planning new roads.

This particular property overlooks the whole valley, so, uh, kind of perfect

for your Ashita's retirement home plant.

I'm puzzled as to how a Japanese company should get the idea. It's cross

-reference data I was asked for and used a little creative guessing.

You're a very bright young man.

It's just a pity that this beautiful bit of countryside is bound to be ruined.

But you're within zoning requirements.

You're not going to have a problem with environmental control.

I know, Luigi, I know.

Put you in the car. Keep your weight off of it.

Just lean on me.

Right here.

God, it hurts.

That's it.

Now let's see.

Here? I don't think it's broken.

I can hardly stand it.

Well, it's getting late.

We can go now.

We've seen all we came up here for.

This morning, Fabry sent me to look at a building site with his wife.

Really?

What's she like?

She's not so bad, really, if you think about all she has to deal with.

Would you believe if she asked me if I could... Stop here a second.

How do you like that china?

Great.

When am I going to get a sensible comment out of you?

I might as well try to have a conversation with a complete stranger.

It's not my fault if I like it, is it?

Cincy, I was talking to you first.

Have you no interest in making a list of possible wedding presents, darling?

I didn't say that.

Oh, Lord, you better take me home. It's getting late.

What do you mean, home?

Don't question everything I say. I have my reasons.

Yeah, all right.

Whatever you want.

Oh, Luigi, come on. You don't have to look so offended.

Ciao Luigi Sonia Aren't you supposed to be in Venezuela? Am I invited

in?

Yeah, let me help you with your bags This is a surprise right this way

Hungry

Mm-hmm.

You want a little wine with that?

I had no choice.

I was forced to come here.

I may have called your father from Venezuela.

He wouldn't answer. He must have thought it was my father.

I'm sorry, but he really pulled it faster than my dad.

By selling the house in Naples?

He sold 50% of something that didn't belong to him.

I know.

Oh, you know that Ford's...

His signature on the authorization.

I know that, too.

He could have had him put in jail.

I know.

He could have, but he avoided a family scandal.

I know.

Your father's a smarter asshole than my father.

I was hoping things might work out for

us in Venezuela.

Sorry to interrupt.

Where were you?

Then his gambling reared its ugly head again.

And soon the money was all gone.

One day he and my mother got in the car and left Caracas.

And didn't come back again.

What do you mean, didn't come back?

What I said.

I've had no further contact.

They told you where they were going, right?

No.

Your parents took off, but they didn't tell you where they were going?

No, they didn't. All they said was they'd be back in three days.

Like a fool, I waited almost 10.

And men that he owed a lot of cash to kept dropping in.

It was really very upsetting.

So then you went to the police?

Yes.

What'd they say?

That they'd be investigating it.

Only every time I asked, I got a different answer.

A whole month wasting time down there, and I never heard a thing.

I pawned a ring of granny's I had, bought myself a ticket, and flew back to

Italy.

You know the rest.

There must be an explanation.

I'm sure to hear from them.

Communications are tough down there, are you?

Phone.

Would you put me up for a while, Luigi?

Stay as long as you want.

Tell my dad, and after we explain everything that happened, I'm sure he'll

be glad to help you.

You mean you're the daughter of his brother, right?

Luigi.

Already? Did you get to bed late last night?

No, no, no. I was just being lazy. That's all.

Good morning.

Who said that?

Is someone there?

No, no.

I've got the TV on.

Look, I'm going to call you from the office, OK? OK. Talk to you later. Love

you. Yeah. I love you, too.

Big kiss. Ciao.

I'm sorry. I didn't know you were speaking to someone on the telephone.

I apologize.

No, I don't even worry about it. I thought you might be hungry.

So I brought a little something for you to eat.

All right?

Forgive me. I haven't unpacked yet.

So I thought I'd just borrow this.

Okay?

Luigi?

Yeah?

Your cordless is asking you to answer.

Your phone's ringing.

OK, hold on. I'll be right there.

There's a call for you. You know I can't answer.

Where is it?

Having a bath now.

Can I come in?

Sure, come right in.

I suppose you're dashing off to work.

Have a nice day.

Sure.

Aren't you going to answer?

See if it's important.

Oh, yeah.

Right.

Hello?

Yeah.

Patricia.

Well, actually, actually, I'm in my car.

I've got an appointment.

No, you... What?

No, I promise. Six o'clock tonight.

Yeah.

Oh, me too.

Kiss, kiss.

Bye.

Is that your girlfriend?

Yeah. Again?

You don't get a moment alone.

Did you tell her that I was here?

No, but I'm gonna. She's coming over tonight.

And be here the whole night?

Absolutely not. She'll probably take off around 1.

I'll go take in a movie. I think it's better that I'm not here and you can

tell her the whole story.

Good idea.

Ciao.

So long.

What's this?

What's what?

All these flowers.

This mimosa.

Who bought them?

Mimosa?

Yes, my darling. Someone put this bouquet here.

Why these mimosas? I just thought they'd brighten up the house a little.

Men.

I do like them.

My makeup box has disappeared.

It's right down there.

One of your habits that have got to go.

I won't marry a slob.

When are you going to fix that dripping faucet in the bathroom? It's beginning

to stain the bidet.

And when you get the plumber, don't forget to tell him about the broken

drain pipe on the terrace. It's disgusting out there.

I will, I promise.

You're not serious, Luigi. Promise you'll do it.

And I wish you'd shave before we start. You're taking the skin off my face.

Oh, you're drooling, darling.

Be careful.

I'm cold. Pull up the covers.

Oh, God, have you been filing your elbows?

Oh, when you get there, pull out in time. I don't want to start a family

yet.

Luigi! Who's that?

Sonia. Who's Sonia?

My cousin.

Your what? I didn't know you had a cousin.

She's my cousin.

Luigi, you in here?

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Give me an explanation at once.

Cinzia, forgive me. I'm so sorry. I only arrived in town last night.

Last night? Yes, well, yesterday evening.

I'm surprised I wasn't told.

Why, Luigi?

Because I didn't have a chance.

I was working all day. Then when we came to your parents' house, Ginzi, I was

going to tell you all about it.

Later. How many days do you expect to be here?

I don't know. I suppose till I find a place to stay.

After all, I mustn't take advantage of his kindness.

She's having some problems with her parents, and when she gets all this

stuff straightened out, she's gone.

Are you staying permanently in Rimini?

What about Luigi's parents?

She could go to Bologna.

You see, there's a problem down there, too.

I couldn't possibly stay there.

My cousin Luigi will explain it to you.

He's the only one who can help me.

This is the area, gentlemen. It extends all the way down to that blue line.

The building land that surrounds it, by the way, is entirely our own property.

Go ahead, Luigi.

Please, have a look over this.

If you'll kindly read my summary, you'll notice that on

page one, I've summarized the net earnings of those companies that have

already invested in this field, as well as present market conditions.

cost overruns, liabilities involved, and it sums up with a best and worst case

scenario of the general population over the age of 70 mortality rate as it

affects their social status.

You can't tell him.

Did you have to bring her with us tonight?

I asked if you had to invite her to join us, Luigi.

I couldn't just leave her locked up in the house all night.

It's the worst thing of all.

If you see one coming up to you, down the street, in the middle of the list,

in the fog, with the sun setting like a skillet of blood.

You can never tell Jim, Levi. They can take the skin out of you as soon as they

can manage. They can drive a stake through your heart. You never know. You

never know who's going to be the next one. Eh, Jim?

What, you're still coming down the street now. What would you do about him,

Jim, Levi?

Good night. Bye.

Well, that wasn't too bad. What did you think?

The movie was all right. The rest stank.

Huh?

I'm sick of the way she acts.

I've seen the way she looks at you.

She's my cousin.

Oh, really?

Is that the way cousins look at each other?

I can't believe you're getting worked up thinking I'm having some kind of

relationship with my cousin.

You better get that bitch out of town. And soon.

Just be patient, okay?

I'm getting my father involved. He'll do something about it.

I'd be scared to live in this building.

Isn't it deserted in winter?

Not really.

There's an old couple lives on the first floor, but it's kind of like being

alone. They're deaf.

So again?

Luis.

You're the only person who cares about me.

But I'm going away.

I don't want to mess up your life.

It isn't fair to chance.

Why are you smiling?

I never told you. I saw you two making love the other night.

It must have been awful.

You saw us?

I stood and watched for a while.

Why did you think I made all that noise?

Why?

Because I was jealous.

And I wanted to see if you enjoyed it with her.

So you want me again?

Luigi?

If it was debts, why not say it?

My father left me without any message.

My dear, you must know you can expect anything from a man like your father.

He may well be back home again and waiting for you.

He might even be worried about where you are.

I'm not so sure.

Because I left a letter that says I've gone to Italy and that they can call

Luigi if they want me. Well, the best I can do is get in touch with the

consulate and tell them to try and find them. Thank you.

I promise not to cause any problems.

My dad's hurt you, but I won't Well, it's time to find somewhere to live

Sonya and get yourself settled I don't think you better stay with Luigi any

longer, huh wait, I Told her she could stay here. What about your fiance Luigi?

I Talked to chin say she understands everything If all else fails Sonya can

stay with us up north.

I know your mother would agree to No, thank you

I refuse to put you out. I have a choice, Naples or Venezuela.

If you want me to, I'll go now.

This doesn't make any sense.

There are plenty of hotels around here. I'll book you a room.

There's a party Friday, the wedding anniversary of your future in-laws.

Remember that.

I wouldn't want to do anything to spoil the atmosphere of the party. Would you?

hotel if i sneak out and sleep at your place every night you know my father

he's not entirely wrong is everything your father says like a royal decree no

it's not like that but you got to take some basic precautions or people are

going to think we're sleeping together but that's exactly what we are doing

yeah don't you get it you and i are cousins oh

god what's so funny

Luigi, we're not related.

What? I'm another man's child.

My mother had a lover when I was born.

You didn't know that?

Then you're not my cousin.

No. So you see, there's nothing incestuous about our sleeping together.

It's still pretty rotten if you think about what it does to Cinzia.

No, it's not rotten. It's you and me together.

And she should be told about it.

No. It's not the right time yet.

That's phony and hypocritical and typical of you all.

It's okay as long as nobody knows, huh?

What else should I expect from someone like you? Stumbling through life with

blinkers on, keeping up appearances.

It's not like that. What are you saying?

Why don't you try to face reality?

I bet you don't even know what your father is.

Yeah, I think I do.

You know nothing about him.

The reputable lawyer Moscati is as big a swine as anyone else. He even did all he

could to force my mother to get into his bed, saying he'd cover his brother's

debts, and she'd even pay back the interest on her husband's loan.

That's who he is.

What? You want to know something else? He's been screwing his secretary.

Who told you that?

Well, I heard it, and I'm telling you.

My father?

I really can't believe this.

Now can you smell the filth that surrounds us?

Have a good wash.

Knocking you in your ass was easier than I thought.

Why don't you try to get even?

You want war?

I'll give you war.

Hello, Luigi.

Thank you for the beautiful flowers.

Very welcome.

May I present Sonia.

Your cousin?

Oh, well, more or less.

My pleasure.

Congratulations on your 25th anniversary, Luigi told me. Thank you.

We meet at last.

Cinzia has spoken so much of you. I hope she continues to do so.

What do you mean?

That I hope we'll become good friends.

Luigi. Ciao, Cinzia. Hi, darling.

The man who's always late.

Ciao, Sonia. Hi.

Now, you have to come and be introduced to some nice people.

Oh, your parents are here already.

Oh, they brought an expensive present.

Good evening.

Excuse us, Sonia.

Go ahead.

You won't enjoy them long.

Hi, Dad.

Senora, how are you?

Congratulations.

Looks like a good party.

Okay. I'd like a nice family group now, so get together.

Don't take it yet. I'll get left out.

The most important one of all. Closer.

A little closer.

That's it. Fine.

That's great. Now let's have a picture of the younger generation. Let's get the

youngsters in here.

Ladies and gentlemen, have your attention, please.

with a great deal of pride and pleasure that I announce that next spring, Cinzia

and Luigi will be wed.

Oh, congratulations!

And maybe to announce

that I welcome Cinzia with a token gift into our family.

Once it belonged to my mother, and now to our future daughter-in-law, Cinzia.

Thank you.

Let's get that champagne open.

Such a great ring.

Everyone fill up your glass.

Here you go. Here, drink up.

No, no, no, no!

Listen, everybody, I'm... I'm really, really sorry.

You see, I love somebody else.

I mean, what are we doing this for, right? We're pretending?

For the sake of appearances?

Thanks.

I couldn't have said it better.

I'm sorry we ruined your party, but we love each other.

And there's nothing anybody can do about it.

Passionately.

But she's your cousin.

No.

Look,

it's too complicated to explain.

You filthy scum. Get out!

Out of my house!

If you ever show your face around here again, I'll take the horsewhip to you!

Go!

Sorry.

Look, I just got tired of pretending.

Swine!

Luigi!

You gotta be crazy.

Did you get a look at their faces?

Sorry about Cinzia.

You can't marry a girl who gets in bed and says, call the plumber.

I never imagined you could do something as low as this.

Your behavior tonight with your cheap little whore has shamed us all.

But I was just trying to tell him. That'll do.

Keep your filthy hands off me.

I'm not your little boy anymore.

Mr. Head of the family.

You think I don't know what's been going on between you and your brother's wife?

Why don't you fill me in on the secretary?

Please stop it, both of you.

Never come to our house again.

What are you doing?

This is for me.

Fun and games interest you?

What are we going to do that we haven't already done?

Notice that girl?

Yeah. What about her?

She's been staring at us for at least ten minutes.

So what?

Can you do that?

Uh-huh Show me

Thank you.

Witchcraft.

What are you doing?

I'll never forget this, you know.

Ah, Luigi.

Your name's certainly on everyone's lips.

Well, I owe you an explanation, sir. I'm sorry.

You don't have to justify yourself to me. I'm not going to change my opinion

of you just because you broke off with your fiancée. Sure you had your reasons.

Some other girl you've fallen for.

Well,

the deal with the Japanese has gone through.

Now it's up to you.

I need you to put the finishing touches on that contract.

That's incredible.

Thank you very much.

Okay, I'm not... And don't screw yourself to death, huh?

I want you in good shape in the office.

Beautiful. Beautiful goddesses, I love you all.

Wait till you hear this.

All hell broke loose at the granite party Saturday night when he broke up

his engagement, ran off with his cousin. No.

She's not my cousin.

But she's the best sex I've ever had.

My dear.

Good choice.

This one.

Oh, no.

Not that.

This is serious.

Okay.

Oh.

How about a cake?

Pumante? No.

No.

Champagne.

Good night.

Okay. I feel like a celebration.

Come on, let's go home.

We've had enough for a month in here, maybe two.

There's something I forgot to get. What?

A surprise.

Luigi?

You find it?

No. They've run out.

Maybe next time.

Go!

Why'd you have to steal it? I mean I had the money I could have paid for it.

Tastes much better if you don't have to pay for it.

I'd never done it before.

Then what?

Stolen.

I never did. I mean, it's my first time, even when I was a kid.

The other guy did. I mean, the dumb ones.

But I never did it.

You must have been a perfect little angel.

But now it's high time you did a little catching up.

Have a quick look at that.

You see what I see?

Yeah.

Sure I see it. So what?

You and I are going to rip that place off right now.

What?

I'll repeat what I said.

You and I are going to rob that jeweler's and make millions out of it as

it happens.

Well, please tell me you're joking.

No. This is serious.

Is it real?

Your tummy is gay?

No.

I never had a gun before.

It'll be fun. You'll see.

What are you doing?

Use your mask.

No one will recognize you.

Oh, this is crazy.

This is my first robbery. I'm going to be wearing panties on my head?

What about you?

Look.

A wig. Like it?

Come on.

Hi.

Good evening.

Can I help you?

Yes.

I want a gold chain to put around my foot. Have you got something like that?

Well, I have one for the ankle, if that's what you mean.

Yes. I think I could find one that you might like.

It's in the back. I'll get it.

I'll be here.

I thought I really liked it.

Hands up or I shoot. Don't move.

Don't kill me. Take what you like.

Quiet. Get in there. Go on. What are you waiting for?

Shit. It's locked.

What do you expect, to find it open and move?

Now what are you waiting for? Load up. Go on.

No police is setting off the alarm.

Unless you want to be a more customer.

So what do I do with this?

Get rid of it. It's a toy.

Stay.

For one thing, you could drive a bit slower.

You're being a little obvious.

How'd I get into this?

Don't be so uptight.

I know you think you're on your own, but we're in this together.

Just let me try to calm you down.

I think

we

agree on everything, Major.

The contract is solid.

We'll meet again in September.

After you.

All right, dear.

Well then, sayonara.

Luigi.

Sonia.

You don't mind, do you?

I dropped by to see you in your office.

Please allow me to introduce Sonia.

How do you do?

Delighted.

Well, how nice. Sonia.

Come into my office. I just had an idea. Luigi, why don't you come to dinner with

us tonight?

That means the two of you, of course.

What a pretty girl Sonia is. You're lucky.

Thanks, you're more than kind.

Well, I must say I find your story very interesting, Sonia.

You deserve better luck.

A better future.

Well, I'd be happy to get some job offers.

Especially if I could work near Luigi.

I think we can solve that problem.

Drop by my office in the morning, okay?

Fantastic.

What do you think, darling? Yeah, it's great.

Any university degrees?

No, unfortunately not.

After high school, I had to work and my education came to an end. Oh, I'm sorry.

Don't let it get you down. You'll make it up the ladder.

You seem to have all the necessary attributes.

I'm inclined to think so, too.

So, tell me, how do you like old Fabri?

The man's just an asshole.

I'm ready to prove it.

Thinks he's an irresistible lover.

Yeah. Could have fooled me. I mean, you didn't do anything but look at him all

night.

I had him eating out of my hand.

But as soon as I get to work, I'll be a touchable merchant.

I don't want to be a financial burden to you, that's all.

This looks like the right place.

Yeah?

For what?

Don't worry about it.

Drive on, straight ahead.

What do they want?

Can't you guess?

No.

You live in this town and don't know what goes on down here?

Let's get out of here. Just a minute.

Let's see what happens.

They look kind of cute, huh?

What's going on?

You're impossible.

They want to make an exchange.

Exchange what?

You've got an imagination.

Tell them to fuck themselves.

Luigi, come on.

Come back.

What are you doing?

Sonia.

He needs a bit of warming up.

It's his first time. Leave him to me.

Are you as shy as they say?

Don't worry, it's fun.

Relax and enjoy it.

I like it.

Let me get in.

Wait!

Sonia!

Don't be a fool.

It can feel good.

Let them enjoy it.

You can too, with me.

Forget her for a while.

Come with me.

Oh.

I mean it.

How could you make it with a complete stranger?

What the fuck are you talking about? Are you playing some kind of game with me?

You're the one who made me do it.

You failed my test, my love.

Because I came back here to see if you were weak enough to fuck that slut.

You must never tell your father I met you here.

But I found out something I think you ought to know about.

Open this. It could be important to you.

Good morning, Mr. McCaffrey. Good morning, sir.

Good morning.

Excuse me, your door was open. I just... Luigi, just the man I wanted to see.

We need to have a talk. Sonia.

Your president was just congratulating me on becoming his new secretary.

That's wonderful.

I'm really grateful.

Luigi. You don't have to carry on like that.

Really. We decided to become friends the other night.

You said, Bradley, your terms.

Sonia tells me she speaks several languages and can handle a computer. In

other words, she possesses all the most important qualifications.

This is great.

All right, come on.

Here, I'll introduce her to the other secretaries.

Mariella. Yes?

Would you show her around?

Certainly.

Our friends the Japanese are coming back sooner than expected.

They want to sign now. It's up to you.

Well, I've got it right here. All you have to do is go over it. If it works,

I'll put it into the computer.

Perfect, Luigi.

Okay.

Listen, could you... It's nothing earth-shattering, but there's this

wretched charity benefit my wife organizes with her friends every

January.

Would you mind being her escort?

Don't even think about it. I'll take care of it.

No problem. I appreciate it.

Good evening, Marcella. I'm glad to see you, Luigi.

I've got the car waiting.

Oh, sorry to say, our plans have changed.

You're saying there's a mix-up?

Yes, the benefit's been cancelled.

I've had a little dinner put together here.

But if you prefer to go to your Sonia, that's all right.

No, uh, no, that'd be great.

What about your husband?

He's in Bologna.

Big conference.

If it's true.

My husband's not the man you think he is.

His company would be exactly nowhere now if it weren't for all the money I've

invested in it.

Personally,

I can't say a bad word against him.

Of course.

I owe him a lot.

But not as much as he owes you.

His success depends completely on your energy, tact, and style.

Without you, he'd be nothing.

Thank you.

i kept an eye on your work and followed the way you do things many dozens of our

clients came to us because of you the time has come for you to open a more

important door

That day when you took me to visit the land we were thinking about getting.

Do you remember?

Yeah.

You're lucky I didn't break your ankle.

You know, I'm not wearing panties tonight, are there?

Thank you.

What are you doing?

Don't you feel like bed yet?

Uh, no.

I didn't have that much to eat, so I couldn't sleep.

Want me to cook you something?

It won't take a second.

Just needs healing.

Yeah, sure. That'd be great.

How is it?

Good.

Real good.

Different taste, though.

Kind of sweet.

It's an oriental recipe I got.

An aphrodisiac.

Told you I was a little out of shape.

Look.

Mysterious disappearance of Rimini girl.

That's Francesca.

I hope it isn't.

Give me the local paper.

Still no word concerning missing local girl Francesco Bini.

Police have sent out an appeal for all information from anyone who might have

seen her in the last few days.

I can't believe it. It's really her.

My God.

Anything could have happened to her.

Shit! Shit!

Come on, let's go. I got a meeting with the Japanese in a half hour.

To recap, an initial capital investment of up to $30 million.

Divide it into two basic installments, payable after an interval of six months.

Now a son.

And you're an asshole if you sign.

Your idea of a joke?

I don't understand.

Fabri is kept by his horrible wife.

We are most extremely offended and we have decided to withdraw from

negotiations definitively.

Not sign the contract?

Out of the question.

Goodbye.

Come.

By an hour and up yours.

You miserable asshole. You should be shot. I swear, I didn't... Don't make

excuses. Get out of my office and stay out. If you ever come back, I'll break

both your legs. Sir, you gotta believe I didn't write a word of this. You just

screwed up a multi-million dollar deal.

because you didn't know it was written in the contract.

Now get out of here!

Somebody got into my computer.

I checked yesterday. I told you to get out!

You blew it, darling.

Where you been?

I don't have to tell you.

I do whatever I like.

Yeah?

Like making me lose my job.

I don't know anything about that.

Yes, you do. You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Come here.

Read that.

Fabri is a kept man.

I didn't write that.

Right. Then who the fuck did?

That's ridiculous. How would I know?

You don't know?

You don't know I lost my job today.

Is that funny? See, I got fired.

I got fired. Is that funny for you?

Sonia, you're insane.

You're schizophrenic. See, I know all about your treatments in Napoli. I know

that you're schizophrenic.

You're seeing a psychiatrist.

That's not funny.

It's not even true, I tell you.

Who says so?

It's signed by a doctor.

It's a forgery.

It's a fake.

It's my crazy parents.

They're trying to get me destroyed because I know I'm...

And now you want to destroy me?

I have to admit I added that stuff to your text.

Why?

Because... Because I know the little games that Fabri woman is playing with

you. She's no better than some kind of hooker. The bitch!

What?

Yeah, you heard.

Are you telling me that evening at her house you did nothing?

Yes, she wanted to, but I didn't do it.

I don't believe you.

You swear to me. I don't need to swear. Take my word for it.

But you love me, and you must make love to me.

with the battalion consul of Caracas?

Thanks.

destroy the bastard, tear the pig to pieces.

What? That bitch has paid for sticking her nose in my business.

Where are you going?

I need some time.

Don't leave me alone.

Didn't think you'd do it.

Luigi. Pull yourself together.

I'm here to help you.

I couldn't stop myself the other night.

Try to understand.

Oh, honey.

What's that supposed to mean?

You'll be fine in the a-

She won't bother me anymore.

Ciao, Luigi.

You know, I feel like having sex.

Well, darling, you would like to fuck me, wouldn't you?

Say yes!

Forgive me.

Did I hurt you?

I didn't mean to.

You must want me.

I'd like to teach you a few new tricks.

Doesn't my body excite you?

You don't mean to touch me anymore.

Smell the scent of me. No.

Well, it's a real pity, my dear.

It's a problem.

So you've finally woken up, huh?

No, don't be sad. Please don't cry.

I don't like you to be sad.

I said stop crying!

Is it the pain you don't like?

Is it the pain that's making you cry?

But you have no idea what real suffering is.

What it's like to be raped when you're only ten.

Yeah. And the man who raped me then was your uncle.

That filthy pig.

And do you know how long he went on abusing me?

Six long years!

And do you know what else?

In Caracas, he wanted me to become an old man's lover.

He paid in cash.

I was sold. You know what that means, darling?

No, you were rich.

Honest, good.

Polite.

The brat whose daddy ran the money pool.

Oh, I hated you. I had nothing. You had it all.

Speak to me.

Tell me you're sorry.

I can't speak.

Scream, nobody will hear you.

Your lip.

You've got blood on your lip.

Poor Luigi.

Please forgive me.

You'll be sorry!

This is the Italian consulate in Caracas.

We have an urgent message for Signor Moscati.

Will you please call us as soon as possible?

You want to know what happened in Caracas?

They're both dead.

My darling dad and mother.

I did it and I didn't leave any trace.

As soon as they saw that they were about to die, he begged me not to kill them.

That bastard and his whore.

They forgot how they'd humiliated me.

You forgot too?

Please.

My heart, it's broken.

Did you wonder where that slut Francesca is?

She saw the diary.

All my secrets.

She was good.

You didn't mind eating her. You said you liked it.

And now it's my Luigi's turn.

My plans for you are set!

No you don't!

Did you call the police, ma'am?

The top floor apartment. Someone's in trouble.

Send a squad car to via Roma 24.

Seems to be some trouble in an apartment here.

You've just got to get up there. I'm worried.

It means breaking down the front door.
