Is this it?

Ok. Eh?

Yeah. Yes?

Is it ok if I come with you?

Here.

Marcellino.

Carmen.

Oh, Carmen.

Mamma Mia.

Cari Amati...

Summer!

Mom?

Sorry. I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Hi. Ah, honey.

What are you doing?

You're totally screwing up

this beautiful thing.

Listen to me.

You listen to me, ok?

The police are coming,

but it's ok.

I'm gonna fix everything, all right?

Fix what?

I need you to come with me now.

No, mom, I am not leaving.

Summer, you have

to come with me.

Do you know what I've

been through to get here?

Siamo qui riuniti

alla presenza di Dio...

Summer, come on, sweetie.

No. Stop it. We have to go.

Seriously, you have to come with me now.

I'm serious.

I'm not moving.

Seriously?

No, Luca. No. No, no.

Pap?

Carmen.

Carmen. Carmen.

Chiami un'ambulanza.

No, no, no.

Summer Falk,

you're under arrest.

No. No, no, no.

You can't do this.

Yes, we can, madam.

'Cause your daughter

has stolen a car,

kidnapped a defenseless old...

No, she didn't kidnap...

She's driven without

a valid driving license.

She forged your signature

and caused damage to a hire car,

stolen gasoline, broken a

fence, released chickens,

and caused what

could have developed...

For crying out loud.

Into a major fire

if the firemen hadn't

come very quickly.

And all of the above

in less than 24 hours.

Summer, summer, summer.

Stop, no! Mom! No, no, no.

Can't just take her.

I have to be with her.

What are you doing? Where

are you taking her?

I don't even know where

you're taking her.

To the police station, madam.

Hey, gentle! Gentle!

Stop it! Don't be

so rough with her!

She's not a hardened criminal.

What are you doing?

There will be a hearing tomorrow

morning at 9:
00 at the police station.

That will be your opportunity

to state your case.

- Arrivederci.

- Mom.

Honey, I'm coming, ok?

I'll be right there.

I'll be right there. I'll be...

Hey.

I'm sorry.

Maybe things got

a little out of hand.

W-why are you sorry?

You got your story. That's

what you wanted, wasn't it?

I wanted to help you.

Luca. You wanted to help Luca.

Call me if there's

anything I can do for you.

Please.

Hi.

Candy and Marcel. Heh.

The way we were.

It would have been so cool

just to have had one

more chance, you know?

Uh, she's in room 103.

This one. Thank you.

Grazie. Thanks.

S.

Maggie.

Hey. Hi.

I wanted to see

how Carmen was, and...

She was lucky.

She has a mild concussion

from when she fell and hit

her head on the floor.

She's recovering well.

Oh, my god, I'm glad.

I'm so glad.

I really wanted to apologize

for being so selfish.

What should I expect

from a woman

who just runs away

when it suits her?

It was the same back then.

You just...

Packed your bags and left.

You act unilaterally.

You cut off communication.

That's fine. Heh.

The message is clear, Chiaro.

But, Luca, back then, i...

What?

I thought you would forget it.

Sure.

Just because I...

I tell every girl I meet

that I love her?

Don't worry about it.

I'm fine. My mother is fine.

My daughter is fine.

Daughter?

Oh.

So ok.

Goodbye, Maggie.

Giulia Carni.

Giulia, it's Maggie Falk.

Giulia.

Oh.

Look, I've told you

I'm so sorry.

No, you said every story

can be viewed

from different angles,

and I would like to give

you another opportunity.

What is this all about?

Well, if you will listen,

I will tell you.

Ok.

I suppose I owe you that.

But I need a drink first.

Ragazzo, Martini per Favore.

Thank you for helping me.

I was concerned you might...

Have a negative attitude

because of him, Luca.

Luca? No.

I gave him up long time ago.

Too hard to get.

Well, we dated some...

But there was always

someone else in the way...

Some woman a long, long time ago

who he couldn't forget.

I think she was American.

I wish the two of you all luck.

Comprising 17 infractions

to be sentenced

under the juvenile court

with the expected outcome

of a significant fine,

criminal record, and

proceeding for deportation.

I'm...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Mom, where were you?

Sorry, honey.

Oh, yeah, that's all right.

We'll soon be finished here.

Since your daughter is a minor,

you'll be called to a separate

meeting with social services,

um, so we can go through

details and...

And, uh, discuss...

I'm sorry. I have to take this.

Pronto, Comandante.

S. S...

Scusi?

Grazie. Grazie.

Wow, mom, that was amazing.

How'd you get her

to go along with you?

Oh, I appealed

to her sense of...

Journalistic sisterhood.

Well, you journalized

the hell out of it.

Did I? Totally.

You were like, "I came,

I saw, I crushed."

You were Caesar.

Wow. If you say so.

You were like the

mother of all Caesars.

You really...

A caesarian section.

You operated. You liberated

Caesar from your womb.

Oh, I did.

Mmm.

I liberated my little rabbit.

Don't call me that.

Well, it's true.

You're free.

And when I say free,

I mean free.

You mean I can do whatever I

want and call Tyler free?

I am backing you 100%.

Even if I drive off a cliff?

Yes. I mean, not physically.

In that case,

can I borrow your phone?

I'm getting you a new one.

Thanks.

Tyler?

Summer. Heh.

Baby, yo, how'd it go?

Um, are you... are you

cool to head back?

Yeah. I can do whatever I want.

That is awesome.

So that's settled.

It turns out I'm not going

to be able to help you.

But you promised.

I did,

but I'm breaking that promise,

'cause I realized

you have no honor.

Honor?

Yeah, honor,

an apparently outmoded

patriarchal concept that I'm...

I'm...

That I'm... I'm re appropriating

as a nongender term

for the furtherance of

individual responsibility.

Can you just tell him that?

No, no. It's better

coming from you.

What I mean is,

Tyler, you're a dick.

What are you gonna do now?

Go back to uncle

George's cottage?

Nah, nah, nah. We're gonna

stay in Rome for a few days,

'cause there's something that

I promised to make right.

Hmm.

Grazie.

Ok.

Hey.

Grazie.

Hi.

You're right.

I do cut people off

when I'm scared.

Maggie, i... I wish...

I wish I had been

straight with you.

I wish I had stayed

instead of running away.

Yeah, but... you don't

have to explain.

Honestly, it doesn't matter now.

I just came because I want

to return the favor you did

me when you opened my eyes,

because your mother is genuinely

very much in love with that man,

and she is gonna do

what she wants to do

with or without your say-so.

So...

Say so.

Maybe.

I don't know.

By the way, how old

is your daughter?

So you already

had her back then.

I mean when we were...

When we were together.

Why didn't you tell me?

Would you have gone

with a divorced guy

with a young daughter?

I'm gonna take that

as rhetorical.

Hey.

Could you...

Accept one now?

See how you feel about that

thought in 20 minutes' time.

What?

Where are you going?

Shh.

Oh.

Did you arrange this?

A woman takes what she wants

when she wants it,

right, Carmen?

Marcellino e Carmen...

Josh Appignanesi

Josh Appignanesi (born 1975) is a British film director, producer, and screenwriter. Appignanesi is best known for the feature film Song of Songs (2006), starring Natalie Press, which he directed, co-wrote and co-produced. The film won several awards including a special commendation for Best British Film at the Edinburgh Film Festival. Made on a tiny budget, the film is a dark study of the intense relationship between a brother and highly religious sister in London's orthodox Jewish community. The film had a small, arthouse UK release but received critical acclaim; The Observer said it "reveals a distinctive and bold new voice in British cinema." He recently directed and script edited the comedy feature film The Infidel, written by David Baddiel and starring Omid Djalili, Richard Schiff, Archie Panjabi, Amit Shah and Yigal Naor. Produced by Arvind David at Slingshot, the film follows the adventures of a British Muslim everyman (Djalili) who discovers he was born Jewish. The film was released internationally in Spring 2010, in the UK with distributor Revolver Entertainment. He has written and directed several short films, most notably Ex Memoria (2006) which also stars Natalie Press as well as Sara Kestelman in a study of a woman with Alzheimer's disease, funded by the Wellcome Trust; and Nine 1/2 Minutes (2003), a romantic comedy starring David Tennant. He lives in London and studied anthropology at King's College, Cambridge, where he was a contemporary and close friend of the novelist Zadie Smith. He is the son of writers Lisa Appignanesi and Richard Appignanesi. more…
