"Now your trousers." "Yes." "Now you." " I want to see you naked." " Naked ?" " Okay, but you get naked too." " Of course." "Now close your eyes." "Giulia, you really turn me on..." "There." "Holy cow, it's tiny !" "That's why you never strip at the gym !" "What are you doing there ?" " We're your orgy !" " Your forbidden fantasy !" " Giulia, do you know them ?" " Yes." " She's my cousin." " Sorry, it was a joke." "Well, screw you... all of you !" " Massi, dinner's ready..." " Dad !" "It's so hot today !" "When you're done, will you get dressed ?" "You know your mum..." "Sorry." "The joke had been perfect, but it hadn't cheered me up." "The exam was soon, but that was the least of my problems." " Luca !" " Cream horn ?" "Thanks, but I'm allergic to yeast and milk." "Great." "Forgive me for coming, but... what's going on ?" "Am I mistaken or did something happen between us ?" "Come in." "You're right." "There's something I haven't told you." "I know." "The guy you went to Rimini with." " No, there's no one else." " So why then ?" "I didn't have the guts to tell you, but..." " I'm going away tomorrow." " On holiday ?" " I'm moving to Paris." " To live ?" "Yes, I've got a job at an aquarium." "It might be for a year or maybe for good." "I'm going to do a PhD in marine biology." " It's 1,500 km away !" " That's not far !" "I can't do long-distance relationships." " Why not ?" " Because I'd hate it !" "You'd text me 10 times a day, then 9, then you'd forget me..." " That's not true." " Let's be honest." " I've decided." " Right." "My train leaves tomorrow..." "and that's it." "That's it ?" " How can you be like this ?" " This isn't easy for me." "Try to help me." " Who's he ?" " Pierre." "How come he's here ?" " He's my friend." " And he walks around half-naked ?" " Are you jealous ?" " No, but I don't understand." "You said you don't want a relationship, then I find him here in his underwear." "What do you expect me to think ?" "You want to know if we screwed ?" "Go ahead and ask me." "Did you screw him ?" " Would it be a big deal ?" " What ?" "Right..." "You're smart, Azzurra." "You're the greatest." "I fell for the distance thing !" " You're a baby." " Am I ?" " Yes." " Fuck you, Azzurra !" "You like cream horns, Pierre ?" "Choke on them !" "Use this cream twice daily, until the rash is cleared up." " Stay out of the sun." " I'll do my best." " Thank you." " Goodbye." " Sorry." " Miss Paliani !" " Mrs. Molinari !" " Wait." "Are you lost in the chaos of this hospital too ?" "No, I had a check up." "How are you ?" "I heard..." " Did Luca tell you ?" " Yes." "Not bad." "These things happen." "I've got much worse problems !" "I really admire your strength !" " You're so brave..." " Nonsense !" " I get it every year." " You do ?" " Yes, in different places." " That's awful !" "I get itchy, then I use a cream and it goes away." " A cream ?" " Yes, it gets rid of the rash." " So you have a rash ?" " Yes." "I'm running late, I have to go." " See you soon." " Goodbye." "A rash !" "Dr. Doom, your time has come !" "In The Fantastic Four, the Thing's my favourite because he's sad and ugly, but he's funny too." "When he goes like this..." "It's the Invisible Woman, there must be an emergency." "Wait here." "Darling, why are you here ?" " You piece of shit !" " Keep your voice down !" " What's wrong with your wife ?" " She's so sick, poor thing..." "You're the sick one !" " She looked really sick." " Really ?" " But it was just a rash, right ?" " The doctor got it wrong." "It wasn't cancer, but a rash." "You have no respect for me !" "You make me sick !" "You told her mum had cancer ?" " Why the hell did you say that ?" " Just because..." "Grandpa's right, you're a jerk." " Who let you in ?" " Your sister." "She was going out." " What do you want ?" " To apologize." "I made a mistake, I've changed my mind." "Let's get back together." "Let's go to Alice's party and let's pretend nothing happened." " Come on..." " Forget it." "I've been thinking too." "We're 18, we're too young to settle down." "That's what I think." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." " Where the hell is Massi ?" " I don't know, his phone's off." " He's sulking." " I'm not surprised." "Yeah, right..." "Listen up everyone !" "I'm single !" "You want to do it with me ?" "Sorry, you're busy." " I'm going to be sick." " How gross !" "I told you not to mix cola with sangria." "I mean it, get in line !" "I'm single !" " Simona, stop it." " You're just a jealous cow !" "Your party sucks !" " I'm leaving." " Riccardo !" " Yes ?" " Can't you take her home ?" "Now 7" "I came on foot." "All right, wait." "Santilli !" " Yes ?" " Lend me your car." " Be careful, it's new." " Come on !" "What a pain !" "Thanks, Alice !" " Get off her." "Let's go !" " Where ?" " To screw ?" " Yes, but first we'll go home." "Simona, we're here." "Remember when you tried to kiss me in Paris ?" " Three years ago." " Yes." " What the hell are you doing ?" " Come on !" "I know you've always liked me." "I can't !" " I can't do this to Massi." " Why not ?" "Don't worry about that jerk !" " Get out, you bastard !" " Calm down." " She's my girlfriend !" " Okay, I haven't touched her." " Get out !" " Okay, but put that thing down." "What ?" "I'll turn it into a Mini !" "Holy shit !" " Come out !" " Calm down." "I'll kill you !" "You piece of shit !" "She's a slut !" "This is my favorite part of the party." " Cleaning up ?" " No." "Being alone with you." "What are you thinking about ?" "You're still thinking of her ?" "Fuck you, Luca !" " Luca, help me, please !" " Were you here the whole time ?" "Yes, but I didn't look." "Riccardo took my car and he hasn't come back !" "Santilli, I couldn't care less." "But it's new, it's only done 12 km !" "I'm worried !" "Shit !" "You again ?" "Not again !" " Sorry, I didn't..." " You're sorry ?" "You will be !" "Hello ?" "Emergency ?" "Where are you going ?" "Stop !" "Just get lost, okay ?" "I can't stand you !" " Take your damn books !" " Darling, wait..." "Excuse me." "Take your damn comics !" " Get lost !" " Antonella..." "And your guitar !" "Just go home everyone." "What are you looking at ?" " These things happen..." " And your computer !" "Darling, let me explain..." " Just calm down." " And take these too !" "Darling, please..." " Don't..." " And your dinosaurs !" "No, not my dinosaurs !" " Please..." " Get lost !" "She read about him on the internet, her son's friend's blog." "And she found some e-mails he'd written to her." "Everyone knows, when you chuck e-mails you have to delete them too." "You just press the delete button, right ?" "You have to be smart to have an affair, not like this idiot !" "Look what's he's done !" "Right ?" "Let's end this reality show." " Let's go." " So you can talk !" "Two syllables ?" "You're scaring me !" " Get lost !" " Feeling better, darling ?" " Stop it..." " I'll try to have a word." " I'll mediate." " Don't worry, it's fine." " Is it ?" " Yes." " She looks pretty mad to me." " No, she's not..." "In fact, she's furious !" "No, it's just that..." "I'm off on a work trip, mum's just helping me pack." " Have a good trip !" " You see, it's done now." "Hello ?" "They did what 7" "I'm coming." "I'll kill him, look what he did !" " Shut up or I'll hit you again !" " Don't talk to me !" " This is an emergency room !" " So what ?" " Just behave !" " Fuck you too." "What's up with you ?" "Can't you grow up and be civil ?" "Tell this story on your blog like all the others." "You shut your mouth !" "You're a traitor." " Me ?" " You pulled a sick stunt on me." "It was just for a laugh." "Anyway, Simona and I split up." "What do you care ?" "If you'd screwed that girl, you wouldn't care !" " Massimiliano Apolloni." " Here I am." "As far as I'm concerned, you're dead." "You're a piece of shit." "Great." " What the hell did you do ?" " What ?" " With Simona ?" " Is that what you think ?" " You don't touch your friend's girls." " Who said I did ?" "Who are you to judge me ?" "I'm sick of your nice-boy face." "Just go home and get off my back." " Did you hear me ?" " You want me to go ?" " Yes, fuck you !" " Same to you." "It was the night before finals." "It wasn't how I expected it to be." "My friends had gone and so had Azzurra." "It was just me and my bad luck." "Schweinsteiger makes his move." "Cannavaro tackles him." "And gives him another chance." "Totti faces Ballack, Italy-Germany." "You know, Luca..." "I used to go skiing on the Abetone." "My nickname was Brunello di Montalcino." "I was always drunk." "I'd race down the black slope, and crash at the end." "My teacher used to say:" ""Well done, Brunello !" "Learn from your mistakes !"" " You must've learnt a lot then." " Well..." "Dad, I know we learn from our mistakes, but what's done is done." "What do you mean ?" "That... generally speaking, when a kid needs his father, and he's never around... that's something he never forgets." "And so generally speaking, is there any chance that this kid could forgive his dad ?" " No." " I know." "Even though he loves his dad very much." "You know what ?" "I don't believe in sayings." "You don't learn jack shit from your mistakes." "Del Piero, 13th minute, extra time." "What's up 7" "I have to go." "Sorry, bye." "Del Piero crosses." "He gets away from Gilardino." "Pirlo, the ball's on the right." "It's a goal!" "Fabio Grosso, 13.30 minutes into extra time." "Italia 1" " Germany 0 !" "They played a great game." "I don't want to talk to you !" "Are you nuts ?" "It's me." " Sorry, dad." "I thought it was..." " How are you ?" "Awful." "Know what I mean ?" "Yes." "You want to come out ?" "I'll only take yes for an answer." "Yes." " How dare you ?" " Sorry." "Sorry." "Why are you here ?" "Listen..." "I've been stupid." "Sorry, forgive me." "I'm a fool." "There's so much I want to say..." "I'd like you to..." "I had a cool speech ready, but I've forgotten it." "Improvise." "You can do better than that." "1" " O !" "Want a return match ?" "Dad 7" "You haven't brought me here since I got braces." "There's something I want to tell you." "Remember when I went to America, you were a kid," "I stayed away a year ?" "Yes, but I don't follow..." "You see, I've never been to America." " Never." " What ?" "I cheated on your mum with the neighbour." "She was hot stuff !" "So she threw me out." "I'd messed up, but I loved your mum." "She realized that and forgave me." "Dad..." "what are you trying to tell me ?" "He's trying to tell you I messed up." "You're the only woman I love." "You don't need me anymore." "Give me 20 euros for a cab, you jerk." " Thanks." " You owe me." "These are for you." "I'll put them here, in case you want them." "The last time you bought me flowers was when Luca was born." "And after you had liposuction." " I don't want to talk to you." " Antonella." "Wait a minute." "I know, I'm a jerk." "You're right to be mad." "But let me explain." "We had our first kiss here, 22 years ago." " Do you remember ?" " Yes." "And this is where we got two flat tires, when we were rushing you to hospital to give birth to Luca." "Remember ?" "Yes." "So many things have happened here." "Shall we show these ninepins that we can start afresh ?" " Come on, Antonella !" " Paolo..." "You know why I loved you ?" "Because you made me laugh." "You were full of the joys of spring, like Peter Pan." "But Peter Pan never gets old." "Because if he did... get old, in his green costume, he'd be a laughing stock, right ?" "Goodnight, Paolo."

" They're on strike." "Hey !" "Stop !" " Are you crazy ?" " No, it's an emergency." " I've got my final exams tomorrow." " Who gives a shit ?" "Please !" " Where's your school ?" " It's in Rome." " No way." " Come on, you're from Rome." " Is my accent that strong ?" " Well..." "All right." "But tell me something." "Which team do you support ?" "I support..." "Roma FC ?" "No, wrong answer." "But we Lazio fans are good sports." "Get in." " I can take you to Arezzo." " Thanks." "A Roma fan in my truck, this is a first." "Hello ?" "Luca..." "Where are you ?" "Near Bologna ?" "You want me to come get you ?" "Arezzo ?" "What time's your exam ?" "All right." "Wait there, I'll come right away." "What are you doing, buddy ?" "Being a father." "Dad, we're late."

"Let's hear what the commissioner has to say." " He's on his way." " Okay." " Here he is." " What's the problem ?" "You again 7!" "You've already met ?" "Luca Molinari showed up a bit late... could we turn a blind eye ?" " What do you think ?" " You want to know ?" "Rules are rules:" "Luca Molinari showed up late... he can't take the exam." "Wait, please." "It was just 15 minutes." "Don't insist." "You could only be excused for serious health problems." "But I'll attest you're in good health, so you'll take the exam next year." "Let's start." "Well ?" "Shall I call emergency ?" "If he can't take the exam, I won't either." "Nonsense, sit down." "If they don't..." "Have a good day." "Now stop messing around, sit down !" "Is this what you want ?" "Good." "Get out !" "Go on." "You'll be set back a year." "Good." "My compliments to you all." "What's your name ?" " Santilli." " Carry on." "Santilli too ?"
