And if we did it with famiIies ?

With famiIies ?

Hetero or gay,

they're our kids any way !

Mr. Mayor,

why do you Ieave posters

offending gays on City HaII waIIs ?

You yourseIf couId have

been born gay !

What does this puny group want ?

If you had a homosexuaI son,

what wouId you do ?

Can thatjinx me ?

Respect for homosexuaIs !

Who's that man speaking ?

My father.

Your father ?

Didn't he say:

''Better dead than gay'' ?

His joining our gay rights group

was the greatestjoy of my Iife.

What's aII this bedIam ?

Are you crazy ?

I'd never thought of the gay issue

in terms of famiIy.

Did you think we were

stem-ceII test-tube babies ?

What Iuck !

The attack on the cIub,

my broken Ieg and cracked jaw

wiII give us 4 points in the poIIs.

Just think about getting better.

OnIy winning wiII get me better,

send the news to the TV,

magazines...

This time I'm reacting

and I'II hit hard.

What do you say ?

That I'II hit harder than you,

want to bet ?

This attack was spawned by the waII,

taIking about a safe city

and then using words as stones

generates vioIence against gays.

I ask these hoodIums

why they have it in for my staff.

You cowards, come visit,

I Iive in Via Marchi 32,

my car Iicense pIate is CP868EV,

I Ieave home every day at 7:30,

drop by, I'II offer breakfast.

Excuse me, I'm a IittIe...

- Good !

- Yeah ?

ShouIdn't I have been

a IittIe more poIiticaI ?

No, you were a reaI man.

Man, sort of.

You're not bad as a man either.

I got this crazy idea:

why don't we invert our roIes ?

I'II defend gays

and you'II taIk about famiIies,

that'II throw them.

- WeII ?

- I'II need some advice.

GALEAZZO:
THE ENEMY OF GAYS

BONUTTI:
A PROGRAM FOR FAMILIES

These posters are symptoms

of a maIe chauvinist cuIture

and GaIeazzo is the Ieading figure.

Today I won't speak about gays,

but about kindergartens

because I want

to be a mayor for everyone.

As Fanfani said.: ''The famiIy

is the foundation of society''.

He's cute even as a moderate.

GaIeazzo is bewiIdered,

we're gaining ground.

- Look at the poIIs !

- Great team !

Before, he wasn't supposed

to taIk about gays, but now you do,

he's a moderate now and SamueIe

announces:
''Gays under attack''.

What's our message ?

You have to raise heII

when you're Iagging in the poIIs.

A gesture of thanks.

I'm embarrassed,

it's not often in poIitics that...

Thank you.

Come to my home for dinner,

you can score my cooking.

- You Iike cooking ?

- OnIy traditionaI recipes.

- FamiIy ones.

- Yes, how did you know ?

I beIieve in famiIy too,

my onIy regret is

that we can't have chiIdren.

I envy those who can, Iike you.

Wine ?

- What did I say ?

- I don't drink, can't have chiIdren.

Forgive me.

It's aII deIicious, no exaggeration.

Your famiIy couId open a restaurant.

We had one,

but it was our downfaII,

we fought over the inheritance

and now we're not speaking.

It's a shame, we used to be so cIose.

Pour me a drop.

Let's taIk about your misfortunes:

what's Piero Iike in private ?

The cIassic hunk,

seIf-centered, vain and a pIayboy.

- You're justjeaIous.

- Be quiet.

- He wanted a dog.

- Why's that matter ?

- You pick up more guys.

- ReaIIy ?

It's common knowIedge.

I'II take this caII,

so you can taIk behind my back.

He's generous, sensitive

and is a cut above in bed.

I couId teII !

Oh no, what did I say !

I'II caII you back.

AdeIe and I

have the same taste in men,

curtains, cooking and sex.

You taIked about sex with him ?

Sex is important,

my husband and I did it every day,

when you can't get pregnant easiIy,

you have to do it often.

Guys, I'm not drinking

with you anymore,

you make me say just anything.

A toast to my friend AdeIe,

who'II keep an eye on my guy

when I'm away.

We're here today to inaugurate

the painting of the waII.

We're here today to inaugurate

the painting of the waII.

You're gaining, but we couId use

a proposaI on crime.

Crime isn't an issue here,

the crime IeveI is the same,

but peopIe are more afraid.

The waII soothes them.

Do you know why

he's aIways inaugurating it ?

Because he gains 1 .8%

at each inauguration.

The waII, as a deterrent to crime,

must be eIegant.

The waII is useIess,

pushers just waIk around it,

it's just propaganda.

Crime issues are just propaganda,

the mayor has no power,

his promises are aII fIuff.

So Iet ours be Leftist fIuff,

soft safety instead of waIIs,

meetings,

instead of prohibitions,

peopIe stroIIing.

Right, Iet's bring back

the grandpas in their chairs,

who observe everything

and are better than cameras.

- Safety in sociaIization.

- Nice !

- Did you work this out beforehand ?

- No.

LateIy it's been Iike that.

For the eIderIy I'd Iike chairs,

teIephones to caII the poIice

and discounts on buses.

I'd Iike to see kids

pIaying in courtyards.

Let's make a Iist

of courtyard custodians

and get voIunteers and retirees

to watch the parks.

- Want a Campari Orange ?

- No thank you, I don't drink.

AIright, just a drop.

- Love, what are you doing ?

- I'm working.

Asparagus 'carpaccio'.

- And you ?

- Me too, I'm at home.

- Who with ?

- AdeIe.

No, you're too upbeat.

Put her on.

He's with me,

he's happy about the poIIs.

- Can I reIax ?

- I'II keep an eye on him.

Thank you.

Have fun, bye.

His jeaIousy means

you're a bit of a pIayboy.

I've strayed, but never more

than twice with the same person.

Being with someone Iess than 3 times

is not an affair.

I think it's an affair from the

first moment, from the first kiss.

If a man said that,

I'd kick him in the teeth.

Let me show you something.

I have a surprise for you.

A doubIe poster,

since we cover aII the vaIues.

SamueIe came up with various sIogans:

''Vote the CoupIe'',

''The Perfect CoupIe''

is my favorite.

Why shouId a mayor share poster space

with his deputy mayor ?

You've earned it, you're good,

you know how to change your mind.

And with you at my side

I feeI stronger.

UsuaIIy Centrists taIk about

famiIy and then go whoring,

you're sincere,

you embody your vaIues.

I esteem you as a woman

and as a Centrist.

It's beautifuI,

and from one

who wants unconventionaI coupIes...

- It's beautifuI, thank you.

- PIeasure.

- Oh no, why did we kiss ?

- You did it.

In fact, I'm asking me.

It's not right, forgive me.

I'm so warm ! Sorry.

I don't usuaIIy kiss men Iike that.

I don't feeI very weII, excuse me.

Okay, I'm attracted to you.

I shouId have reaIized it,

I aIways fought with my husband too.

But this reIationship

is impossibIe, right ?

Now what do I do ?

I'II resign, Ieave poIitics,

even the city.

Don't exaggerate, nothing happened.

What ? I kissed you,

you even toId me

I was a sincere Centrist.

- Do you think badIy of me ?

- I don't care, I'm gay.

But I'm not.

SIeeping aIone is ruining me.

Are you sure it was

an orange drink ?

- No, it was Campari Orange.

- I just heard ''orange''.

Sorry.

Stop it, nothing serious happened.
