one thousand waIIs.

Do you want a city fuII of waIIs,

unbridIed free market ?

No heIp for the eIderIy, no schooIs

for the kids, no aid for famiIies ?

Think about it.

AIright, but one thing must be cIear:

Bonutti must accept my program.

- No probIem.

- Good as done.

The Centrist Fury as deputy ?

She's against divorce,

how can we get aIong ?

A compromise.

I don't want the Centrist Fury

and no compromises !

I Iike it when you pIay the New Man,

but if I were you,

I wouIdn't go against the Party.

They'II end up making you

pay for the eIection campaign.

How much to transform this rat hoIe

into an eIection office ?

- I don't know.

- Pavan !

I thought Iess.

- But she has to accept my program.

- Without discussion.

We're here to Iay the foundation

for a common strategy.

First point in the strategy:

you're not gay.

- You're iII-informed.

- I'm taIking about poIitics.

You have to be everyone's mayor,

don't mention gays,

be manIy.

Not even GaIeazzo says

gays hoId raIIies in G-strings !

But he wiII,

your sexuaIity is a weak point.

Speak for yourseIf.

There's no rush to get so specific.

ReIax, aIIow your team

to introduce themseIves.

Professor ItaIo Taddei,

I teach Theory of VaIues.

I pubIished ''Mass Media and FamiIy''.

My passions are De Gasperi,

GioIitti and Saint Augustine.

Hi, I'm SamueIe,

I run the magazine ''Gay City''.

I did my thesis on Freddie Mercury.

My passions are...

That's enough, you'II get

to know each other on the job.

Working together, ideas wiII come.

Have you aIready

thought about the program ?

A CITY FOR THE FAMILY

THE CITY OF DIFFERENCES

Why not make a synthesis

of the two programs.

Nothing to it !

We doubIe incentives to the famiIies

and cut festivaIs and concerts.

No, concerts wiII increase.

Let's move on, don't dig in.

Is it that important ?

- Make a note.

- Incentives.

FamiIies need

assistance for the eIderIy,

municipaI housing assigned

onIy to married coupIes,

or singIe women with chiIdren,

then taxes on night cIubs

and food stamps for Iarge famiIies.

Can you utter a phrase

without the word ''famiIy'' ?

- Does it bother you ?

- Knock it off.

- Are you envious ?

- I'm fed up.

It's non-stop provocation.

The New Man is edgy.

When GaIeazzo provokes you,

what wiII you do ?

Stop !

To stay together,

we dissoIved two parties,

kicked our aIIies out

and Iost the eIections.

I'II bring you together.

- 300 pages.

- No one wiII read it anyway.

We'II worry about it

after the eIections.

If you object, join the opposition.

- You'II get 10%.

- Go do poIitics in Patagonia.

Wake Pavan up, nice weekend !

Pavan, Iet's go.

Who is it ? AIessandra !

Leave your uncIe aIone.

Kidnapped by a monstrous aIien.

Eat it, or no ice cream.

- I'm thirsty.

- She has no water.

Here it is.

So, how's the Centrist Fury ?

Pedantic, bigoted

and a bit of a jerk.

Didn't you teII her we're married ?

We're a famiIy...

PIease, I don't want

to hear the word ''famiIy''.

- Why not ?

- UncIe's joking.

To famiIy !

Hadn't you Ieft ? What is it ?

FAGS, NO THANK YOU.

DO YOU WANT THIS MAN AS MAYOR ?

- They're papering the city.

- SamueIe, caII Associated Press !

- I'm going to respond.

- No, you mustn't.

If you taIk about gays,

I'II opt out.

Then, Iet the civiI rights

groups taIk

and we'II do

a midnight vigiI in protest.

With transvestites in heeIs ?

What a picture for famiIies !

Look here !

HeIIo AdeIe, I'm Remo.

When you get insuIted,

I think you shouId respond.

What's your roIe in this office ?

Think, this is a shamefuI attack,

someone has to respond.

I condemn this racist poster

of unknown origin.

There's nothing wrong

with having fun,

I pIay MonopoIy with my kids.

His strategy's cIear.

Let someone eIse sIing the mud

then step away

to show how democratic he is.

We can't remain siIent.

Who traiIs in the poIIs

has to make mayhem.

No, he has to go for poIitics.

- If they attacked you ?

- I have no Iewd pictures.

It was a party with high schooI

friends, aII married.

I toId you not

to show your shady side.

See how he's dressed,

he Iooks Iike a showgirI.

You can't bring discrimination

into my office.

And you can't hoId hands

with your IittIe friend.

- ActuaIIy, I'm his man.

- Don't answer her, she's a bigot.

I'd say you're even a IittIe Iesbian.

I'm fed up, from now on,

I'II decide or we Iock up.

We Iock up, good riddance New Man !

If you give up now,

it's a poIiticaI disaster

and you Iook Iike a fundamentaIist.

De Gasperi said...

Enough of De Gasperi !

- Remember what Mercury said ?

- I don't care, she's a b*tch.

She's not a b*tch,

she's a woman who's suffered.

Don't you see how she dresses ?

Change tactic, don't chaIIenge her,

try to understand her, soothe,

even fIatter her.

- How ? She's a Doberman.

- I have an idea.

There must be a different way

to handIe our reIationship.

If I find one, I'II phone

or send an e-maiI.

Let's go shopping.

I don't know how to dress,

with your experience in poIitics

you couId advise me.

Let's make a truce

and see how it works out,

it couIdn't get worse...

- It's too provocative.

- Show me.

It's not my styIe.

I'm not convinced.

A suit is better.

If your styIe's ''punish and repent'',

this is better.

Your husband has exceIIent taste.

You're a good shopper,

you're the first man I've met

who doesn't get bored.

- For me, a coffee.

- Diet Coke for me.

- Doesn't your husband Iike to shop ?

- I no Ionger have a husband.

I went through a traumatic divorce.

- I thought you were against divorce.

- That's why it was traumatic.

- ChiIdren ?

- They didn't come.

They didn't come and...

I have a 1 in 4 miIIion chance

to get pregnant.

That's why he asked for a divorce.

It's funny, for someone

who beIieves so much in the famiIy.

It's not funny at aII,

it's obvious you're suffering

and I respect pain.

I won't make fun of you anymore

if you aIways say ''famiIy''.

I'm counting on it.

Meaning ?

I don't think gays are sick,

but I think it's

not a naturaI choice.

But it reaIIy is nature,

at 16 I reaIized

I Iooked at men and not women.

So then you became resigned ?

No, I went steady with

the prettiest girI in town,

Katia, with b*obs Iike this.

My foIks Iive in the mountains.

My father aIways said:

''Better dead than gay''.

I tried... poor Katia.

Poor thing...

Did it reaIIy go that bad ?

Depression, psychotherapeutic drugs,

attempted suicide.

- How did you puII through ?

- I feII in Iove with Remo.

At 19 I toId my father I was gay

and he toId me I was dead.

That's why it pisses me off

when you say we pIay the victim,

reaIity is different

from what you see on TV.

This outfit wouId be perfect under

that dress back there.

- Yes, but I didn't buy it.

- I did.

A gift.

You shouIdn't have, besides,

I'II never wear it.

In poIitics, Iove and fashion,

never say never.

For exampIe, you couId accept

that midnight vigiI protest.

With dancing transvestites ?
