Especially with the train moving...

- What?

- For all we know she could be dead...

Can't you think

of something nicer?

Whenever I Went to see my mom

at night in the hospital

I'd check to see

if she was still breathing,

if the blanket

was moving over her chest.

It's hard to notice...

Love, I'm gonna catch some sleep

'cause I'm beat.

Okay, sleep then...

- Did I Wake you up love?

- Nope...

- What time is it?

-5...

- I'm going back to sleep...

- Okay...

So... it was the yoghurt and cheese

you bought at the supermarket?

Right! That yoghurt,

as normal as it may seem,

it ain't that normal a&er all...

it's fat!

And if, God forbid,

something had happened to my mom,

it would've been

because of all the fat in her blood.

- And I gave her that cheese myself.

- Wow!

Monday

We ran out of Espresso.

I made some Jacobs, okay?

My parents had some...

They were supposed to call by now...

They will call...

They might not be ready yet.

You Know how it works...

Yeah, they could've called

to tell me that.

They know I'm Waiting...

The phone could be on silent

and they don't know it...

- Try on Skype.

- I already did...

- What time are you leaving?

- Round 2...

Did you see that stain

in the bathroom? it's back...

I did, f***ing morons! I told them

it's from under the bathtub.

Take this one, it's sugar free.

Relax, they'll call, don't Worry

Who is it?

Dad.

Why aren't you answering?

I'm scared it's bad news...

So... you won't answer then?!

I can't...

- Should I?

- No, I'll call him later.

Why?

What if they made

a mistake in Petrosani?

- What if...

- Can I see the caller's ID?

No, Delia, forget it!

Go to the bathroom,

I'll call him later.

Why?

I'm scared...

- Why are you scared?

- I don't know...

- 'Cause it's bad news.

- Enough with this nonsense!

Let's see who called...

Hi! Right...

That's great, right?

I mean,

it ain't that big, right?

Right, from time to time

a diet doesn't hurt.

Yeah...

I'll put him through...

Or...

He could call you later...

That sounds good...

Perfect!

Great.

Bye, kisses.

She's fine...

Why are you so scared, huh?

She'll call you in 5 minutes.

She was with your father...

Your mom's fine, love...

Really fine!

Shall I Wash them?

Wait...

I'm afraid he's calling

and it's bad news.

That my mom... you get it...

- But she's fine now.

- Yeah, Delia...

But it could be a phone call

similar to my dad's...

Okay... But it isn't.

And it ain't bad news...

Not now...

But one day there will be, right?

- I should be going...

- I know...
