Big Night Page #6

- Yes. Very beautiful.

- A little too vast for me.

- Too what?

Vast. Spacious. Big.

- Oh, vast?

- Yeah.

- How do you feel?

- I feel better.

- Do you want a puff?

- Thanks.

So, you prefer it here, East?

- Yeah, I do.

- I see.

Maybe I should go out West.

Find a cowboy with a horse.

The whole thing.

What do you think?

- A cowboy?

- Yeah, I want one.

Strong, silent,

like a statue.

Cool. Always there.

Cowboys are consistent.

A girl went back to Napoli

Because she missed the scenery

The native dances

and the charming songs

But wait a minute, something's wrong

Phyllis, what are you doing?

Oh, Gabriella, hello. How are you?

Hi. Hi. Hi.

What a f***ing ride!

Come on, Bobby, let's get a drink.

- Hey, Primo is cooking!

- Yeah!

- Let's eat.

- Yeah!

This is the green one that my brother

has made especially for you.

This is al pesto. This is regular risotto.

And this is seafood risotto.

And this one, yes.

- Can I come back for more?

- No, absolutely not.

What do you think, he'll make it or not?

- Who, Louis Prima?

- Yeah.

He better make it.

He doesn't know what he's missing.

Eat this, eat it. Taste it. You'll like this.

No, save this one for Louis Prima.

- Okay?

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Don't touch it.

Maybe too hot still.

I don't know, we have to serve now,

I mean...

- Okay. Okay.

- No! Wait!

Cut at the table.

- Okay. Okay.

- Okay.

I worry it's gonna be too hot.

It's gonna fall apart.

That's what I say, it's too hot.

No, no, no, we don't have time

for too hot, let's go.

Come on, come on.

Cristiano, open the door.

What is that?

It's timpano.

It's a secret recipe that they brought

from their hometown.

I have only heard about it,

but I never had it before.

God damn it!

God damn it, I should kill you.

This is so f***ing good I should kill you.

- Paradise!

- Paradise!

- What's the matter?

- My mother was such a terrible cook.

Listen,

I am gonna try and get someone

out here to write a review,

- but that could take a while.

- Oh, I see.

And I can't really do a story

about Louis Prima

because he didn't show up.

- Ah, I know.

- But you were right.

- It was the best. Ever.

- Thank you.

- Got to go.

- Okay. What time do you have?

- It's 3:
00. Good night.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Two, three. Now, careful, careful,

because if it's too much wind,

they fall over...

Careful, careful.

And they go... Yeah, isn't that beautiful?

Listen, I don't know what to say.

I'm so f***ing embarrassed. I'm sorry.

But you know what?

These people had

a great goddamn time.

You should be proud like hell.

You know, everything will be okay.

- Yeah.

- Well, hey, we talk tomorrow?

- Okay? Okay.

- Yeah.

You cannot be caught with the ring.

You must lie and cheat

and swear and kick.

Come, come and stand

in a circle, okay? Here, okay.

Everyone take... Take the string.

- You're not supposed to know what's...

- No, no.

- You're supposed to tell...

- Yes, you try to trick the person.

Everyone stand in a big round.

Good, good. Very, very nice.

No, Ann. Ann, you start.

You go in the middle first.

- Me?

- Yeah, go on.

Close your eyes.

Do we say we have it?

Are we supposed to say we have it, or...

- You're supposed to lie.

- Lie and cheat...

Okay. All right.

You don't like games?

Me, no.

They make me tired, too.

He was supposed to come.

It would have helped.

But now...

to begin again.

We're left with nothing.

What are you saying?

You have so much.

- Here. Have it.

- I got it right here.

- Take it. Take it.

- No.

Take it. Take it.

- Hey, where are you going?

- I gotta go.

- Why?

- I'm going.

- Gabriella, stick around.

- Yeah, we're waiting for Louis Prima.

Yeah, don't hold your breath.

What?

What do you want with me, huh?

Why don't you tell your new friend

about who's coming tonight? Huh?

What? What? What, what do you say?

Tell him. He worked very hard.

Come on.

Okay, okay.

We should go now. Let's go.

- Tell your new friend. Come on.

- Come on, let's go.

No one is coming tonight.

No one was ever coming.

Thank you for the best meal...

I will probably ever have.

Phyllis! Phyllis! Come here!

What are you doing?

Come here! Phyllis!

Come here! You'll catch cold!

I want to talk to you!

Phyllis.

What are you doing?

Phyllis. Phyllis, come here.

I want to talk to you.

Come here, please!

- I was just upset, and she was just...

- No!

- Don't do that. I hate that.

- Okay. Okay.

- Can I just talk to you?

- No.

I'm not here any more.

He's not coming.

Seco.

What?

Pascal never call.

- What do you mean?

- Pascal never call. So he's not coming.

- How do you know this?

- Gabriella.

Pascal lied to you. He lied.

Where is everybody?

I should go say something.

- Come on.

- No, no, no, no more. No more.

Secondo.

There is a job.

Just listen.

With Uncle Paolo.

At his new place in Rome.

I talked to him.

I called him. He said...

both of us. If you want.

- Good.

- Good?

Yeah. Okay.

Good.

Good.

You go. I'm going to stay here.

- No, no, no, Secondo.

- No.

No. You go, okay?

F*** him and f*** you.

You go back.

You let somebody else take care of you.

Okay?

Okay. Okay, good. Go! Stay!

Go, go, go! Stay! No good! Good!

Stay! Stay, go! Go!

You have rotted!

What? What?

You have rotted.

What did you say?

You! You! You are the one!

You are the one!

What do you think?

You think things are so simple, huh?

You think it is just like this

and like that? And that's all it is?

- Is that what you think?

- No!

- Is that what you think?

- No.

Who the f*** do you think you are?

You're in the kitchen

with your head in the pots!

We were dying and I did something!

For two years, I have been doing it all!

- What do you want?

- You have done nothing!

- What did you do?

- I asked for your help!

I need you to sacrifice!

And what do you do?

- You give to me nothing! Nothing!

- Is that what you think?

- That I give to you nothing?

- Yes, that is what I think.

This place is eating us alive!

Good, I'm glad!

Where are you going?

You're always leaving.

Stop!

Stay!

Stay still for a moment!

I've tried.

I've tried to teach you, Secondo!

But you've learned nothing!

You're like a child!

Why do you act like this? Why?

Why do you want to stay here?

This place...

This place...

this place is eating us alive!

No!

Primo.

You want...

You want me to make a sacrifice?

No.

If I sacrifice my work, it dies.

It's better...

that I die.

No, no, no.

Hey, Secondo.

Great party even if, you know...

- Can I take you somewhere?

- No, no, no. Thanks, Bob.

Okay. See you.

I used to play at one time.

You ruined me.

- Because of a woman?

- Oh, please, Seco, be serious.

Why?

Because I wanted to save you.

And then we would go with you?

Where else would you go?

What I did, I did out of respect.

He's a great investment, you know,

your brother.

You, too, of course.

You will never have my brother.

He live in a world above you.
