"Like her mother, the painter." "She does that for pleasure!" "That's the bourgeoisie." "Hobbies, lovers..." "That's life." "Everyone's the same." "Everyone works, suffers, cheats." "Not everyone lies." "Some can't afford to." "The bourgeoisie lives to keep up appearances." "The truth would kill them." "Women who aren't rich lie, too." "They also don't tell husbands about lovers." "They have nowhere else to go." "Which women?" "Or they love both." "Husband and lover." "My mother cleaned houses." "No time to cheat!" " Maybe she didn't want to!" " Couldn't afford it!" "Maybe she didn't have deep emotions." "Maybe she simply wasn't passionate!" "Wait!" "I'm sorry!" "One billion." " Lira?" " No, francs." "Roughly 150 million euros." "OK." "Anything else?" "What if I don't want it?" " Don't want what?" " My inheritance." "What if I leave it to my mother, my sister or my brother?" " Why do that?" " I don't know." "People will think it's dirty money." "What if I don't want it?" "What if I can't..." "I have the right not to be rich." "Spend it!" "Women love to spend." "Buy clothes." "Just spend daily..." "A billion divided by 60 years..." "Divide that by 365..." "Roughly 43,000 euros per day." "Or I could take it out in cash." "Then put it all in my car." "And give it away in the street." "If I had your money..." "I would open a hospital in Africa." "That's not very complicated." "You have to eat." "Even if you don't want to." "It's important." "Sometimes we have to force ourselves." "To get better afterward." "This fruit was prepared by Gerard." "Who?" "Gerard, the cook at home." "So good..." "If you don't eat it, I will." "I didn't have lunch." "Come on, just a spoonful." "Open your mouth." "Don't be capricious." "Come on!" "Open your mouth!" "I'm sorry." "OK, give me a spoonful." "But only one." "Yes?"

"We'll confront each problem and try to solve it." "Calmly, and with hope." "If necessary, we'll change hospitals." "We'll go elsewhere." "A private clinic, if necessary." "The choice is yours, Madam." "I'm just offering a way to avoid suffering that's... unnecessary." "I don't get it..." "What's unnecessary suffering?" "I just wanted to inform you." "Of course, we'll keep trying." "We'll do our best, but..." "Miracles can happen sometimes." "I have to leave you." "I'm needed in surgery." "I never liked that doctor." "He's just doing his job, but he knows nothing." "None of them do." "They can't see beyond their own noses." "Shouldn't listen to them." "Should we call Aurelio?" "Maybe." "So, a miracle will happen." "Think so?" "Everything's a miracle." "Doesn't that mean miracles exist?" "He's so good-looking." "I know." " Those dark eyes." " I know." "Marry him already!" "He doesn't want to." "He doesn't like the rich." "Marry him and you'll be less rich." "Like I told you:" "I'll take him if you don't." "I'll tell him." "Or you can." "That nose." "That hair." "Those eyes." "So call him." "He looks like a revolutionary." "What are you saying?" "He wasn't with the Brigades." "30 years ago, he helped his cousin." "She was sort of involved with the Red Brigade." "If he goes to Italy, they'll arrest him." " Who said that?" " Mom told me." "It's not true." "I make puppets..." "With thread and paper..." "They're pretty, the little cuties..." "Let me introduce them..." "One is the most beautiful of all..." "She can say Mommy and Daddy..." "Her brother can forecast..." "If tomorrow brings rain or shine..." "Help!" "Thanks." "Go to the corner." "Don't stay near the door." "You and your friends can relax." "I won't try to escape." "Me..." "I'm happy to be here with you." "Then go in the corner." "I understand you." "I'm a communist, too." "You got pretty eyes." "Daddy!" "I want you to meet the kidnappers." "She's rich, but I swear she's nice." " Should I ask him?" " Yes, ask him." "I want to invite them to dinner." "Three of us." "With you, four." "They're good guys." "Really nice!"

"The people united will never be defeated..." "How is he?" "So-so." "Actually, we really don't know." " Sorry, your name?" " Celine." "Sorry." "With him, we lose track." "Thank you, Gerard." "Well, now he'll be on dialysis weekly." "To purify his blood." "Speak French so Celine will understand." "Sorry." "He'll be on dialysis." "To purify his blood, his kidneys." "Must be Pierre." "Met in the elevator." "Aurelio!" "Hello, Pierre." "Good to see you." "Sit down." "A drink?" "A martini?" "No, thanks." "It's a little early for lunch." "You're all so early today." "A first!" "It's Sunday." "Only Gerard is here." "No one wants to work on Sunday." "Can't even pay them to." "Where were you?" "Asia?" "Yeah." "A trip around the world." "I did it before." "But the other way." "Which is actually better." "The other way is better." "But my father..." "Then Celine..." "We met in Venezuela." "She's a stewardess." " The Caracas-Bangkok flight." " Nice." "But I prefer travelling alone." "More interesting." "Right?" "Carnival." "See the masks?" "Guardi's famous masks." "Venice again." "Federica's first communion..." "Bianca watching her..."

"And you?" "What do you do?" "I'm a history teacher." "You have to keep stirring well." "If not, it will clot." " Like that?" " Exactly." "You see..." "We have to sign the papers." " What papers?" " I'm not signing them." "Why not?" "I'll tell you..." "I want my money." "I need my money." "I don't want to ask for her permission." "This is in really bad taste." "You're sad, but..." "I'm not sad." "I want my money." "It's not important, just a signature." "It's important to me!" "It's not!" "Don't decide what's important to me." "You had his love." "I want his money." "Don't start." "You never wondered what's important to me." "Ice cream!" " Especially for Aurelio." " Thanks, Mom." "Keep some aside, Gerard." "For my husband." "I know it, Sandro was there." "He never went to your communion." "Yes, he did." "I saw him." "His ear was bandaged." "I hid behind the sofa." "He found me." "He asked me why I was hiding." "I was afraid to look at him." "You told us not to." "Speak in French!" "I remember." "It was..." "It was Uncle Stefano." "He came after losing his hair overnight." "Speak French for her!" "So I dreamt the sofa story?" "You confused it with Aunt Elena." "We were already in Paris." "Aunt Elena visited after her operation." "You were afraid of her artificial anus." "We lived on Rue Casimir Perier."

" One minute, Gerard." "I'd rather not sign." "Are you an idiot?" " I'd rather have my money." " You do have it!" "This is to avoid inheritance taxes." "We leave everything to Mom." "Then we don't have the taxes." "It's legal." "I'd still rather..." "What?" "Give up half?" "Stupidity!" "It's your choice." "I need to feel straight..." "Pay what I have to, do what I must." "Maybe give it..." "And become an adult." "Become an idiot, yeah." "OK..." "I need a coffee." "Give it?" "Give it to who?" "Don't listen to her." "She doesn't even know how much." "Yes, give it!"
