"What's going on?" "Move it!" "A trafic jam." "I'm stuck in traffic!" "It's a real mess..." "Where do you go?" "I can't go through with this." "This dinner's important for you." "It took me 2 months to arrange." "He's a two-faced bastard." "Remember my last novel?" "Don't worry." "He does that to everyone." "No, with Italians!" "That's different." "Don't start." "Swear that you won't squabble over Italy." "If I'm not provoked." "OK, I swear." "The first person who badmouths Italy..." "Stop!" "Now listen to me and look at me." "Not with him, not in his home." "For Pete's sake!" "Evening!" "What's odd is that you're Italian and you write in French." "Yes." "Yes..." "I came to France when I was 10." "But..." "I was born in Turin." "You're an example of my theory:" "Italian culture doesn't exist." "Not since Dante in Florence." "Italy's a blend of identities." "Italy doesn't even exist." "It's a dream or nightmare." "All depends on how you see it." "I'll be hosting a new show." "There'll be many guests:" "singers, writers, celebrities." "It'll be recorded here." "Each person'll bring his fave dish, fave wine..." " Good idea, huh?" " Amazing!" " You should guest." "Marie-Elisabeth, you should bring him." "We'll find a discussion topic." "I thought about that on our way here." "Now that you've met, why not?" " Wouldn't it be great, Luca?" " Fantastic." "He agrees." "You're agent's doing a great job." "And you put up with problems." "Just like an Italian!" " Oh!" "We're so sorry!" " No big deal." "What are you playing at?" "Your publisher received only half the manuscript... and there are chapters missing!" "I know." "I'm still working on it." "I'm always on the train between Paris and Lyon..." "No time to write." "Why don't you stay in Paris?" "What are you doing in that place?" "I can't sell it." "I bought it with Delphine." "And my sister has her restaurant downstairs." "I like my place." "At least I have room." "It's the 4th novel you haven't finished." "Your publisher wants to halt payments." "He's fed up." "I'm broke and I'm out of ideas!" "Why am I still writing?" "I'd be better off making pasta with my sister." "You better think hard before making pasta." "You have a wealth of talent and brilliant style." "Everyone thinks so." "Your problem's about basics." "I've always tried to develop my French side:" "rational, organized..." "But I can't hack it." "I'm no longer Italian, nor am I French." "I'm nothing anymore." "Alright." "I have something for you." "It's for Air France Magazine." "A series of articles on Italy." "The pay's good." "They want you." "And I've accepted." "Well..." "OK." "Why not?" "You're right." "After all, Italy's my ray of sunshine!" "Luca, can you give me a hand?" "2 waiters didn't show up and there's a rush." " I'm all alone." "I'm going nuts!" " Not this time, Isabella." "I'm tired and I have work to do." "Only 30 mins." "Please!" "No!" "When I say "no," it's no." " Enjoy!" " Thank you." "Rimini." "What do they call Rimini?" "Rimini." "Pearl of the Adriatic." "Well done!" "Thank you." "OK?" " What's your name?" " Alexandra." " And you?" " I'm Luca." "Do you speak Italian?" "Please show me the sports shoes over there..." "Amazing!" "Björn Borg-style." "Rimini, pearl of the Adriatic." "Luca, it's Marie-Elisabeth." "I promised them the article for tomorrow." "Take care, darling." "Rimini, pearl of the Adriatic." "Luca, little darling." "I tried to reach you on your cell." "I'm at the airport." "I'll come over anyway." "Mom, I was home, but I didn't hear the phone." "What are you doing at the airport?" "Why did you leave Maurice?" "No, wait." "It'd be better if you went to Isabella's." "I'm swamped." "Actually, I'm writing." "Yes, that's it." "I'm in the midst of a project." "That's it." "Take care." "Rimini, pearl of the Adriatic!" "What do you mean, "you're coming"?" "Hold on." "Luca!" "Luca!" "You have some nerve sending me Mom!" "I'm swamped, with no one to help out." "She's your mother too." "We've gotta split her." "I can't talk now..." "I also have work to do!" "Alright, come over." "What can I say?" "Rimini, pearl of the Adriatic." "The multicolored beach cabins embellish the coast like lanterns." "This noble city of Emilia reeks of drug money, heating oil, hydrocarbons and the Albanian Ma?" "a, whose whores line the coastline." "Have you ever been to Rimini?" "Rimini's the toilet of Italy!" "Luca!" "What's your problem?" "What a disgrace!" "Just after we arrived in Palma, the bastard ditched me for an old bag with a facelift." "I was stranded at the hotel." "He took all my money." "Not the first time." "Couldn't you be careful?" "I thought he was different." "He'd asked me to marry him." "That's what they all say." "Isn't marrying once enough?" "It was a failed marriage." "I'm entitled to a second chance." "The jerk emptied her account:" "30,000 euros." " You had 30,000 euros?" "No!" "I got an advance for the marriage." "You can't keep this up, Mom." "Enough!" "Please." "I'm in a hurry!" "I'll be right there, sir." "What about the coffees?" "Yes." "I only have two hands." "I'll be right back." "That guy's getting on my nerves." "Isabella, calm down." "No!" "No Italian here." "We're in France." " We speak French here." " Why so?" "Because of your father." "He left us, so we speak French:" "a revenge of sorts." "It's his birthday today." "Are you gonna call him?" "Did he call me on my birthday?" "He can go to hell." "I remember his birthday the day we met." "He'd come to the cabaret to celebrate with friends." "I was on the stage dancing." "He invited me to his table." "He was handsome!" "He looked like Mastroianni in The Eclipse." "It was Alain Delon in The Eclipse." "Whatever." "Don't look at me like that." "If I weren't for my follies, you wouldn't be here today." "It's so comforting to know where we come from." "Hi, Dad, it's me." "How are you?" "Happy birthday, Dad." "I'll call you back." "Or call me." "I'll call back." "Bye." "Looking for inspiration?" " Looking for inspiration?" " Delphine!" "What are you doing here?" "I was here by chance." "I had to pick something up." "I know this store inside out." "I can find you good underwear..." "I know." "How can I say it?" "I'm glad we met." "It's better than on the phone." "I wanted to speak with you personally." "Aren't you here by chance?" "I'm pregnant." "You're pregnant?" "Well, I guess congratulations are in order." "I'm sorry, Luca." "I didn't know how to tell you." "Was it that jerk, Pierre-Frangois-André?" " Yeah." " Sounds like a pope's name." "Don't start, Luca." "Don't take this bad, but you haven't moved on." "You're locked up in that villa." "You haven't even put it up for sale." "Still filling your sticker albums?" "Only for the World Cup." "Your last novel was amazing." "I really liked it." "I felt nostalgia for Italy and for you." "From now on, I forbid you to talk about Italy or to go there on vacation or for a weekend." "Never." "As for coffee, tiramisu, mozzarella and your Prada bag, it's all over." "No more Italy for you." "This parfs incredible." "Watch!" "I love it." "You'll break into tears." "He takes Bruno to a restaurant, but they're broke." "So they share a plate." "But Bruno has no table manners." "Your film's boring and not in color." "Have any others?" "Yes..." "No, no." "This is nee-realism." "Neo-realism and color don't go well together." "It's post-war Italy, so it must be black-and-white." "You don't wanna make love?" "Yes." "Gimme a break!" "Shit!" "Yes, it's me." "Yes, I'm Luca." "When?" "What happened?" "Yes, I'll let my sister know." "I'll call her now." "Bye." "Thank you." "What's wrong?" "My father died." "I'm leaving." "I didn't get a chance to talk to him today." "I wasn't even able to say good-bye for the last time." "I tried to reach him all day, but he didn't answer, as usual." "Don't be angry with him." "Why did the doctor call you?" "It should've been Monica." "She's so stuck-up, just because she's on TV." "She always wanted to steal Dad from us." "Now, she trying to steal his death as well." " All because of a boob job." " Huh?" "I know that if I'd had my boobs done, he would've loved me and looked at me." "Don't say that, darling." "You have a nice chest." "Paul, do you like her with natural breasts?" "I dunno..." "Yes, I guess." "See, darling?" "People like you as you are." "What are you on about?" "Dad just died." "Or did you forget?" "What's that in your mouth?" "It's for my teeth." "I have to leave it in at night." "I forgot to take it out." "Do you know Turin?" "Yes, very well." "Something wrong?" "Everything's fine." "I was looking around." "I don't recognize anything." "Miss Morandi!" "Mr. Morandi!" "I'm sorry... but I couldn't do anything!" "It all happened so fast." "I wanted to help him." "It was too late!" "It happened at the stadium." "I'm Paolo Corsicato." "Do you remember me?" "We met in Porto?" "no." "I'm your father's lawyer." "Oh, yes." "You're Isabella." " Yes." " Hello." "I immediately recognized you by your glasses, your look..." "Still as ugly?" "No..." "We were at the stadium watching the game." "You should've seen him!" "He was jumping up and down like a kid." "Shouting: "Del Piero!" "Juventus!"" "Del Piero had the ball and when he kicked it..." "His heart stopped." "He fell in a heap." "Heart attack." "It was still 0-0." "He did liposuction on my husband." "I'm so grateful!" "Thank you!" "Thank you so much!" "OK, that's fine." "Ready?" "Yes." "Hello, Dad." "You OK?" "No... obviously not." "No, you can't be..." "What am I saying?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "You couldn't even do that!" "I'm OK." "Thanks." "Do you have children?" "Pardon me." "Pardon me." "Children?" "Two girls." "Do you love them?" "Of course." "Do they know?" "Did you tell them?" "Uh, no not really." "You ought to." "Call them and tell them." "It's important for them to know." "Don't forget." "Never forget that a girl always needs her father, even when she becomes a woman." "Later." "Isabella?" "Yes." "Look..." "Your father had this on him." "He was holding it in his hand." "Must've grabbed it before dying." "He was clenching it so hard." "So hard, we couldn't remove it." " This yours?" " Yes." "Look." "It's my bracelet." "Dad." "My dad!" "Come." "They must prepare him." " No." " We gotta go." "No." "I wanna stay with him." "I wanna be alone with him for a bit." "Leave me alone." "Dad." "Look, kids!" "This is a nice car!" "A real beauty!" "We already have one." "Not like this one." "Ours is ugly, gray and plain." "I want a red car." "A great Mother's Day gift!" "We wanted to buy her a toaster." "Are you kidding, Luca?" "An ex-ballerina deserves better." "Your mother'll love it." "But she has no license." "Let your father decide." "He knows what women like." "Soon you'll be a pretty woman." "Women love your father and convertibles... red ones." "A discount for Mother's Day?" "Alright." "Hello, sir!" "Who are you?" "What's going on here?" "And Monica?" "Go away!" "I don't wanna see you!" "What is it?" "They were here all night." "I've had it!" "Massimiliano!" "Your brother's here!" "I know they're doing their job." "The papers need photos." "But they're going too far." "Because of the show you're in?" "You know..." "I wasn't into being in a show with celebrities on an island." "I did crazy things to survive." "I ate raw fish." "I peed in the forest." "Now, I'm the paparazzi's prey." "I should've refused." "Is it my fault I'm in the final?" "How are you managing?" "You know..." "I already was a widow." "When?" "In Rebellious Women." "But I had cues and instructions." "I had to be sad and glad." "I had to put some heart into it, you know?" "This is real life... not fiction." "My father's dead." "Your Antonio won't come back." "Hello, Luca." "Hello, Massi!" "HOW you've grown!" "How are you?" "OK?" "Can I stay with you a few days?" "Sure." "Can I watch TV now?" "Sure, sweetheart." "Who's that?" "Can you go check?" "Yolanda?" "Luca." "We must learn to live without him." "Without Antonio, we're orphans." "Your father's irreplaceable:" "like Agnelli, Kennedy." "Judge Falcone, Berlinguer, the Communist Party..." "Like all the others who passed on." "I thought you were on Berlusconi's side." "5 years ago, I was." "But not anymore." "Now it's the anti-globalists." "I feel 30 years younger." "It was better than a facelift." "Monica!" "Over here!" " Yolanda!" " Monica." "What are you doing here?" "I had to see Luca." "She was his wife too." "It's only normal..." "The second wife!" "Hierarchically speaking, that gives her no right." "Hierarchy?" "What nonsense!" "She wrote a malicious article about me in Corriere della Sera!" " What did you write now?" " The truth." "30 million Italians watch her defecate under a palm tree." " It's worse than terrorism!" " I didn't know it was on film!" "And I didn't kill anyone!" "She doesn't kill, she lobotomizes... even worse." "I can just picture it." "I should do a write-up in Le Manifeste." "Let's say this is for Bruno." "Not sleeping?" " Whatcha watching?" " A show." "She's the host?" "She's half-naked!" "It's a game." "She must choose a husband." "After each correct response, she removes a piece of clothing." "I think he answered correctly." "Massi." "Do you understand your dad..." "Yes." "He died from a heart attack." "One of the principal causes of death in the world." "Well done." "Was he embalmed?" "Who?" "Dad." "Like mummies in Egypt." "Things have changed." "There are other methods." "I embalmed my cat, Malfatti." " Wanna see it?" " No, thanks." "Oh, what a shame!" "Hey." "Angelina!" "How tall are you now?" "10 feet?" "Only 6 foot 6." "Playing basketball?" "I'm gonna sign my 1st contract with Bologna at year's end." "Incredible!" "You haven't changed." "A veritable Mona Lisa!" "Come sit down next to me." "Excuse me." "Allow me to explain." "Your father, Antonio, was paying a compensatory allowance to Mme Bijou de Saint-Phalle." "This allowance... is 3500 euros." "That much?" "I had Angelo." "There were 2 of us." "I still do some modeling, but there aren't as many magazines." "But you have your anti-wrinkling cream and dentures to pay for." "You will also have to pay Madam Yolanda's allowance:" "4000 euros." ""4000"?" "But you're working!" "Hold on!" "I won't pay it." "That's more than my income from the restaurant." "Angelo...say something!" "Sign for Bologna now!" "It's the law, Luca." "I don't give a damn about the law!" "I'm a writer, not the owner of Fiat!" "I didn't write The Da Vinci Code!" " Me neither." " Well, I'm leaving." "See you at the funeral." "I adore you." " Good-bye, my love." " Good-bye." "You must be putting me on." "No." "No... and there's something else." "You'll have to pass by the clinic." "Antonio had completed some minor renovations." ""Minor renovations"!" "Is this some kind of joke?" "Mr. Morandi!" "My condolences." "We were expecting you." "Antonio wanted an avant-garde clinic." "Nice, huh?" "It's a shame he died so soon." "He wasn't able to enjoy it." "He often spoke about you." "Luca, the great writer..." "He was so proud of you and your books." "My books?" "My father?" "Follow me." "You nut!" "Mr. Morandi?" "This is Ms. Berti." "Young man, I was your father's best client." "He granted me the best years of my life..." "My youth!" "He did surgery on me 3 days ago." "He worked on me from chin to chest." " Touch." " No, thanks." "Admire your father's work." "What talent!" "We lost an artist." "This is Ms. Mayer:" "Cervico-facial facelift." "Look, not a single scar." "Ms. Ravanelli:" "a perfect blepharoplasty!" "What an improvement!" "Ms. Maldini:" "liposuction of the hips and buttocks." "Your father saved them." "Had God given him more time, he could've saved all Italy!" "Now it's all over." "We'll die old and disfigured." "Don't cry, Ms. Berti, it's not good for the healing." "Luckily, Dr. Morandi's son has come to our aid." "Me?" "I'm not a surgeon." "I'm a writer." "What are we supposed to do with a writer?" "You should've been a surgeon." "You would've been of some use." "What did you do to my country?" "Is this Italy?" "What a nightmare." "And Pavese?" "Moravia?" "Fellini." "Gassman, Pasolini..." "Judge Falcone!" "Have you all forgotten?" "Who are all these people?" "Fellini?" "Pavese?" "We were at the stadium, watching the game." "You should've seen him!" "He was jumping... like a kid." "Shouting: "Del Piero!" "Juventus!"" "Del Piero had the ball... and when he kicked it..." "His heart stopped." "He fell in a heap." "I can't believe it!" "Lilla!" "It's me..." "Oh, my God!" " Luca Morandi?" " That's me." "I can't believe this!" "Luca!" "How are you?" "Fine." "How did you find me here?" "I can't believe it." "He's an old schoolmate." "So, Luca..." " Where's your girlfriend?" " There." "Lilla." "She has legs like a penholder." "You mean, like a toothpick." "Look at the brunette... with the nice round buttocks." "Isn't she better?" "No, I prefer Lilla." "You should be ashamed!" "Dirty pig!" "You pervert!" "Amazing!" "After all this time!" "How did you recognize me?" "When I saw you on the field," "I thought of you right away." " It had to be you." " You've been thinking about me?" "Yes." "I think about so many things that..." "Haven't I changed?" "Of course!" "You've become a woman... a beautiful woman." "Thank you, Luca." "You couldn't talk to girls, now you can't talk to women." "Never mind." "You don't look so bad yourself." " You've become a handsome man." " Thanks." "We're lucky we're both good-looking." "You're still here?" "Don't you have somewhere else to go?" "Evening." "Stop making me suffer!" "Custody of Arnaldo?" "Why?" "He's in chemo." "I'm working hard, but they won't give me a raise." "Hello, my darlings." "OK?" "I couldn't stay alone, I was going nuts." "I have to see Antonio one last time." "You can't see him." "He's dead." "Get it?" "Dead!" "Yes, I understood, Luca." " Pay the fare, please." " You have no money?" "I'll take it." "Pay for the cab." "I reserved a room in the same hotel as you." "Room 108." "Why did you sleep under the same roof as that bitch?" "We feel at home at Dad's place." " It's not our place." " See what she did to your sis?" "She did everything to keep me from Dad." "And all her dumb shows:" "Femmes Rebelles, Adultéres..." "She made everything stupid." "Maybe Dad simply loved Monica." "Did that ever cross your minds?" "He never had a heart attack with me." " He was in fine shape." " He was 25." "Perhaps." "Regardless, she's the reason his heart stopped." "God knows what she made him do." "It's strange... being here after all these years." "When I left your father," "I swore I'd never return to Italy." "I couldn't bear hearing Italian." "Last time I was in Turin," "I woke up at San Giorgio Hospital." "They told you I had an attack." "That was a lie." "I didn't wanna die." "I wanted him back." " My Antonio..." " Mom!" "Sorry." "They still have sales here?" "I have good news, but it may be bad news for you." "I also have other bad news." "What first?" "You choose." "Lamborghini Diablo, metallic gray, V12, 200 mph." "DVD player." "Leather seats, the works!" "A real beauty." "But he'd only paid part of it." "10 percent." "Is that good news or bad news?" "Good news." "Here's the bad news." "So..." "I dissected your dad's accounts." "Luca..." "Isabella..." "Antonio never paid his taxes." "He ran up debts on account of his lifestyle." "He owes quite a bit." "How much?" "3,800,000 euros." "Not counting the Lamborghini." ""You could renounce the will."" "We've a wide variety of coffins in different colors." "Is color important?" "No." "Who cares?" "The natural wood color's good." "The choice of color's important!" "What'll the mourners say?" "It's best to match the walls." "That's true!" "He's right." "Solid mahogany." "1 3/8 inches." "The best in its category." "White satin lining." "Very comfortable." "15,000 euros." "15,000 euros?" "It's for Antonio!" "Hold on." "15,000 euros for a coffin?" "That's over the top!" "That's the price of a car!" "He's not gonna drive it!" "He's dead!" "Price is no object." "I loved him." "I don't care if it's too expensive." "I want everyone to see him in a beautiful coffin." "A satin one... with handles." " Gold ones!" " Yes!" "I agree with the lady." "The gold handles are ideal to carry the dearly deceased." "Monica." "you're a great actress." "May I call you "Monica"?" "Of course." "Please come to my office." "In Femmes Adultéres, you were magnificent, colossal." "I was wearing heels." "There were tears in my eyes." "Makes me cry thinking about it." "You really liked it?" "In one episode, Gigi, your half-brother..." "Please." "...was dying in Africa." "Some form of AIDS." "My God!" "That's true." "I'd forgotten." "Another death!" "You told your sister-in-law:" ""My love for Gigi's priceless." "I wish to bestow upon him" ""what I didn't during his life."" "Exactly!" "Wow!" "You have a great memory!" "Luca..." ""My love for Antonio's priceless." ""I wish to bestow upon him" ""what I didn't during his life."" "So..." "Solid mahogany." "gold handles..." "I'll take a look around." " I'm over here, Mom." " Oh, my little darling!" "What's wrong?" "What's all this?" "Gimme my debit card, please." "It makes me so sad!" "Me too, Mom, but it's my account that's in dire straits." "Enough with compulsive buying." " Come on." " Alright." "Yolanda?" "Rose!" "What are you doing here?" "I'm here for the funeral." "I was the first woman he loved." " You came second." " Of course." "As far as age is concerned." "He left me for a terrorist!" "Enough to turn you off men." ""A terrorist"?" "What do you know?" "Stop arguing!" "It's waste of energy." "Let's make a pact." "Everyone against Monica!" "I'll call Bijou." "Oh, no!" "Not Bijou!" "No!" "Not her!" "I can't bear her." "But you just signed the pact." "Everyone against Monica!" "Oh, Monica!" "What do you think that annoying woman'll wear?" " To Antonio!" " To Antonio!" "When we met, I was barely 20." "I was dancing in a show to pay for my studies." "I was shy." "I'd always hide at the back." "He was the only one to spot me." "We met at the stadium." "At the time, I was working with my father at Fiat, in the press department." "I'd just joined the Red Brigades." "I'd come to Turin for a march." "He was on hand." "He was wearing a red jacket." "A nice tie, a little mustache..." "He smiled at me, he spoke to me." "He was handsome." "He said:" ""Bijou, stop fooling around." ""I'll take you with me." ""You're strong and beautiful." ""I'll make you happy."" "Without you, Antonio," "I might already be dead." "I never sensed fear again." "With you, I became gutsy." "I was able to confront anyone." "That never changed." "Even when you left me." "Even if you made me miserable, you gave me the best years of my life." "He'd always say: "My daughter's my most beautiful woman." ""She's the Mona Lisa," ""with glasses."" "Where ya going, sweetheart?" "Excuse me, darling, for everything I said" "and for what I didn't say." "The last time I dined with my father, it was in this restaurant." "We sat at the table over there." "I was here on a trip, as usual." "I recall." "I saw him here often." "Always at the table over there." "He'd eat alone and flirt with the waitress." "Is that it?" "What do you think about my book?" "I didn't finish it." "Frankly, I didn't understand it." "Why don't you write in Italian?" "Italian isn't so complicated." "Writer..." "Is it a profession in France?" "Yes, for many centuries." "Listen, Luca," "Even if you win the Nobel Prize, never forget the Juventus team." "I don't care about Juventus!" "You're such an egoist." "Look around you." "You're blind like everyone else." "Italy's on the brink and what do you do?" "You go to the stadium to cheer." "How are you changing things?" "By writing?" "The sensitivity of the French spirit!" "He writes." "Think you're better than me?" "Listen carefully, Luca..." "We've become dull, vulgar, egocentric and dishonest." "That goes for France and Italy." "Everything's gone." "except for pizza." ""Pizza"?" "Pizza." "The only thing neither the Mafia nor politicians have corrupted." "Some dough, tomatoes and you're done!" "They even eat it in China." "Cheers." " He really said that?" " Just another theory of his." "And you..." "What are you doing writing at La Gazetta dello Sport?" "I ended up there by chance." "Gradually, I got drawn in." "Now I cover Juventus games:" "I write articles, follow the players..." "The national team as well." "I covered the last World Cup in Germany and I'll be in South Africa in 2010!" "I'm also on a first-name basis with the national players." "You're on a first-name basis..." " Do you give them pointers?" " Sometimes." "So you 583/1" ""Del Piero: 7 out of 10"?" "Lilla, you're the most important woman in Italy!" "Me?" "Come off it." "I have a 10-year-old girl." "Congrats!" "10 years old!" "And you?" "No." "I have nothing." "I have no kids." "You must have someone in France." "No woman?" "Aren't French women beautiful?" "Yes." "But I'm not attached." "You must have a nice apartment, a country home, a nice car..." "Yes, I have a house." "I have a house alright." "Here we are." "4-2 for me." "It's time for the comeback." "Monica?" "Monica?" "I didn't hear you." "Was it you playing piano?" "Of course!" "You play really well, you know?" "Very well!" "I studied piano for 12 years." "What are you thinking?" "You're like everyone else." "You think I'm a dummy who can only recite crummy lines and show her butt." "I didn't say that, Monica!" "Antonio..." "He knew who I really was." "He thought well of me." "You had it easy." "Everything was for you and your sister." "You were formidable and intelligent, and I never got anything." "I'm from the shit-hole of Italy." "I was desperate to get out." "I wanted to be Sophia Loren." "I had to choose between porno and trashy series." "I made a choice." "Was I wrong?" "Antonio is the only man who ever respected me." "He loved me." "He gave me Massimiliano." "With him, I felt pure." "Come help me choose my dress for tomorrow." "No!" "No." "I..." "Come on, Monica, go to bed." "Go to your room." "For your father, I chose his black Armani suit." "He'll look great." " G'night." " G'night." "A toaster!" "Are you kidding?" ""Death'll come and then you will see."" "Who's this "Ada Vanini"?" "Wait, wait!" "Come, come!" "Come!" "Wait!" "Back up." "Antonio's here, but I'm not ready." "Where do we put him?" "Didn't you want him by the window?" "Oh, yes!" "Follow me." "Over there." "Oh, no!" "Wait!" "To the left!" "That's it!" "Luca, what do you think?" "Yes." "Where are you?" "They're lost." "Yes, hello." "Don't shout." "What's wrong?" "Isabella?" "Isabella?" "Why not by the piano?" "He enjoyed it when I'd play." "He loved your spaghetti, but that's no reason to expose him in the kitchen." " I can't take it!" " Yes, you can." "Sir, it's heavy." "Yes..." "Marie-Elisabeth, it's not the right time..." "Everything's OK." "Nice funeral." "Don't even have time to be sad." "I'll call you back." "It's disgraceful!" ""I have other things..." Couldn't you hold off?" "You have to sleep with everyone?" "Your father was the same, but he knew how to behave." "It doesn't make sense ethically." "I'd never thought you'd..." "You disappoint me so much." " What are you talking about?" " About this:" ""Monica Morandi:" "romance by the coffin."" "You really had to sleep with her, huh?" "What's all this nonsense?" "How could you believe this junk?" " You picture me with Monica?" " Yes!" "Get real!" "You too, Isabella?" "Bunch of vultures!" "Don't you have anything better to do than cause trouble?" "Bastards!" "On a day like today." "They should be ashamed!" "And you're all wearing the same dress as me!" "You did it on purpose!" "You hate me!" "At least we look like widows." "Antonio stayed with me longer than all of you put together." "He died in my arms." "What could I have done?" "He loved me." "I also loved him." "I have the right to be sad." "I may not be the only widow, but I'm just like you." "We all lost the best love of our lives." "Luca!" "Lilla!" " Hi, Luca." " Hi." "I invited myself." "You couldn't have chosen a better moment!" "You're the only person I wanna be with." "Oh, Luca!" "Gimme me a drink, please." "Is that Lilla Vianello over there?" "Yes." "You know her?" "Seeing her 25 years later, I must say..." "Anyway..." "That's ancient history." ""Ancient history"?" "Oh, no!" "Let's not stir up old memories." "Your father died and I forgave him." "Amen." "There." "I better be careful." "I'm getting a little tipsy." "Stir up the old memories... now!" "OK." "At the time, Lilla's mother had a job at the San Pietro clinic." "Your father was seeing patients there." "Antonio and I ran into them on Via Roma a few years later." "Antonio was embarrassed." "I saw the little girl." "This is a good thing." "It's good you've all gathered here today." "The family's getting bigger." "Let's celebrate." "What are you talking about?" "What are you trying to say?" "What's wrong with you?" "Are you some kinda nut?" "Now I understand why you said she wasn't for me." "Are you done getting on my case?" "Leave me alone!" "Get out of my life!" " Luca, calm down." " Do you know why he'd invite you to dinner without coming on to you?" "Do you know why?" "Where are the papers to renounce the will?" "Here." "That's not them." "Let's get it over with now." "I, the undersigned, Luca Morandi, alas, that's me," "renounce Antonio Morandi's will." "And how!" "At least that's done." " Hello, Luca." " Hello." "Hey." "Luca!" "What are you doing all alone?" "Waiting for my dad." "He's late." "Wanna wait inside?" "No, he won't be long." "He's always late." "Come on, Luca." "Oh, you're here." "Are you coming?" "Whatcha waiting for?" "Hello, I need an address for Ada Vanini." "Yes, in Turin." "Thanks." "Anyone home?" "Ms. Vanini?" "But... who are you?" "I'm Luca Morandi," "Antonio's son." "Luca!" "Oh. yes!" "I remember you." "Are you the dancer's son?" " Yes." " The one who went to France?" "Yes." "I'm Ada." "Hello, Ada." " He never spoke of me?" " No." "I'm not surprised." "But..." "There's no point in keeping secrets anymore." "I met him so long ago." "He was good-looking." "He was 20." "He was showing off on the beach." "He was diving to impress the girls." "And..." "I was married to an Italian and I'd just turned 35." "We fell in love... at first sight." "He wanted to marry me and take me to Switzerland!" "But I was already married." "In those days, you weren't allowed to get divorced." "Then, he met your mom." "He had kids." "Then he came back." "He came back each time." "After the divorce law passed, he returned." "He was just as handsome." "As for me, I'd aged." "After my husband died, I still refused him." "I was too old." "We bought this apartment." "He stays here from time to time." "Where's Antonio?" "Ada..." "Oh, no!" "Not Antonio!" " So long, darling." " So long." " Ciao, Luca." " Ciao." "Here's my cell number if you need to reach me." "Thanks for your help." "I'll be right back." "Listen, Luca..." "One last thing." "I don't wanna know." "Talk with Isabella." "Don't worry." "Antonio had tests done for his alleged children." "He wanted to keep tabs on the situation for future payments, as you already know." "This is for you." "Lilla Vianello's test results." "Open it, I can't." "No, I can't either." "Wait." "If I'm really his daughter..." "You're my sister and we're in deep shit." "What if I'm not his daughter?" "We'll make love like animals for 50 years." "A year later" "Welcome to Made In Italy!" "Today, I'd like to talk about a book and its author." "This book has a special place in my heart." "It gives me great pleasure to introduce the most French of Italian authors, the most Italian of French authors." "His latest novel recalls the life of his father:" "The Star of Juventus." "Winner of the Stresa Prize." "Please welcome" "Luca Morandi!" "Hello, Luca!" "Welcome home!" "Thank you." "Come over here." "Glad to have you here." "I'm happy to be here." "Let me say that in this book," "I put everything,"" "Buy The Star of Juventus, by Luca Morandi!" "Music!" "Sometimes I wonder if it's really him." "At the same time, it's Luca." "Luca Morandi." "He's so much like his father." "Sometimes, I get the impression I'm with Antonio." "Look at him." "He's worse than Antonio." "He's letting off steam." "It's normal." "It's his hatred of liberalism." "How much did the sales of the book fetch?" "A lot!" "Lots of money." "To Luca!" "To Antonio!" "Translation:" "Mark Horonczyk"
