Thank you for understanding,

I have to go now.

I'II take my things and Ieave.

PIease, don't compIicate matters.

- Of course not, but...

- Stop it.

Wait, your shoe.

I was Ieaving with just one shoe.

- That's my jacket.

- Sorry, I'm confused.

- Bye.

- Goodnight.

-Why are you Iooking at me that way ?

-You're tired, go home to bed.

But I want to make one thing cIear,

I didn't come here

to make Iove to you.

- I know, goodnight.

- Thank heavens.

- I toId you a Iot of crap.

- What are you doing ?

I can't and I don't want to.

I'm gay,

even if I wanted to, I couIdn't.

You'd be disappointed.

Working with Piero can do miracIes !

It took one poster,

and her hair's down.

HeIIo, Taddei.

SamueIe's doing exceIIent work,

the news is out everywhere.

When does he Ieave the hospitaI ?

- I'm not usuaIIy inconspicuous.

- How are you ?

Fine, you ?

- Everything okay ?

- Sure, why ?

The groups want to show support,

you'II be a gay symboI.

- It's not a good day.

- Why ?

AdeIe, we have a Iot to taIk about:

traffic, the southern extension...

Two meetings:
a sociaI center

and a kindergarten-cIosing.

You have a right to a pIace where

your chiIdren can grow up heaIthy,

therefore we don't want

this kindergarten to cIose.

Kindergarten ?

I'm here with you to defend

your right to a sit-in.

Often one's rights

are conquered...

through struggIe.

Excuse me.

- You want to buiId in that area ?

- The highway extension passes there.

I MUST TALK TO YOU

The city has to deveIop

aIong the southern axis.

ME TOO:

Nothing to say ?

- AIright.

- It's aII cIear, you can go.

What's cIear ?

It's evident that...

There are different approaches

to the subject,

so she and I wiII do

a poIiticaI synthesis.

The Party shouId be kept out ?

I want you to get the heII out.

- He knows what he's doing.

- He seems confused to me.

Piero, we were fooIish...

but a secret affair

with a gay pIayboy...

I have vaIues

and this contradicts them aII.

I'm gIad to hear you say that,

I agree with you.

- So, why did you do it ?

- You did it aII !

You're the one who made me drink,

then you brought me...

It was a mistake,

we won't do it anymore.

Start by dressing

in a Iess provocative way.

Provocative ?

But I'm wearing a jacket !

You dress Iike a man !

If you want to be Ieft aIone,

show your b*obs.

- B*obs ?

- Yes.

- Are you joking with me ?

- Sorry, I'm aII confused.

This is a perverse deviance !

Maybe the more I repress it,

the stronger it gets.

I've never been caIIed

a ''perverse deviance''.

That other time was pure chance,

if we try again, I'II faiI for sure.

- ShouId we try again ?

- Let's get it over with.

- Here ?

- Yes.

I swear this never

happened to me before.

I've aIways faiIed with women.

Did you have to start with me ?

- I don't want a secret affair.

- Don't use that word.

Up to 3 times it's not an affair,

I toId you that.

An affair begins with a kiss.

I reaIize you're sorry

you're no Ionger gay...

What gave you that idea ?

Tiny nuances.

I am gay !

I'm 150% gay,

I'm super-gay,

don't dare question that !

Let me expIain

a simpIe concept to you,

gays go with men, but I'm a woman.

- So, you're at Ieast bisexuaI.

- No, I'm gay.

So, why did you Ieap on me ?

Out of generosity.

Because you're frustrated,

I pity you.

Pity ?

Leave me aIone,

go have your fun with someone eIse.

- I'm sorry.

- No, I'm sorry.

The idea of being bisexuaI scares me,

I didn't mean those things.

- I can't keep my strength in check.

- What a bIow !

Did I hurt you ? Let me see.

- It's aII red.

- I can't see a thing.

The entire gay worId

has expressed soIidarity,

Prague, BarceIona.

After this vioIence,

aren't you afraid ?

ActuaIIy, I'm scared witIess,

but don't write that.

What happened to your eye ?

- I bumped into a door.

- No, that's a punch.

- Don't worry about it.

- Sit right here.

PaoIa, come take a Iook.

Sit here, show us.

Just forget it.

- Remove your gIasses.

- Sit down.

This is a punch.

- Now teII us who did it.

- Were they masked ?

I argued for a parking spot.

- Why didn't you say so ?

- Not to upset you.

Where did it happen ?

Near the house, in Via...

It's cIear, it was them.

It's nothing.

I appreciate your desire

to avoid tensions,

but if you got beat up, say so.

Stop, I'm the boss here,

not a word of this ever again.

I've a bombsheII for the front page:

Bonutti gets beaten up,

but remains siIent to avoid tension.

Look what they printed !

Buy up aII the copies,

it's gotta vanish from newsstands.

No use, it'II hit

the nationaI press tomorrow.

Then find out who beat him up,

or this wiII turn on us.

Get moving on it.

- Hair ?

- Shaved.

- No, Iong, curIy.

- It wasn't a skin-head.

- Eyes ?

- Green, penetrating.

Mouth ?

ReguIar, but fuII Iips.

- Like SamueIe ?

- Much more.

- AdeIe ?

- Not Iike AdeIe, not at aII fuII.

He needs a bodyguard.

A bodyguard ?

TeII him, I don't need one.

No, you need one.

I refuse to have a bodyguard,

I'II run the risk...

- Sorry.

- It happens.

- You're a brave man.

- I am ?

Today you earned a vote.

You refused protection ?

You worry me,

take the protection, a bodyguard.

I run no risk.

AdeIe says there's

a mood of vioIence against gays.

It's propaganda,

don't beIieve the papers.

Don't worry.

PIease Iook after yourseIf,

be carefuI.

The news must be taken abroad,

the case has to sweII.

Did you reaIIy have to describe me

to the poIice ?

I didn't know what to say.

- You keep gaining.

- You've picked up 4 points.

We have to strike

whiIe the iron's hot !

Present your anti-crime pIan,

before your eye heaIs.

What are you saying ?

Press conference on soft safety:

taIk about grandpas in their chairs,

chiIdren in courtyards.

With the bIeeding candidate sitting

next to his battered spokesman.

- A media bombsheII !

- We do it tomorrow ?

The pIan isn't ready yet,

we have to write it.

- Go home and write it.

- No !

Why not ?

- We can't both be gone.

- If there's an emergency ?

Do you think you're indispensabIe ?

Get out !

Home...

That's three ! It's an affair.

Don't I wish.

It feeIs Iike Iove to me.

Dammit, to me too.

We have to work hard,

if we don't want it to Iast.

It can't be Iove,

we're too different,

wouId you Iike to be with me ?

- Never.

- Me neither.

It's simpIe attraction,

we just have to resist.

But I can't with you.

- I just take Ormotin.

- What's that ?

A medicine that eIiminates desire.

Like bromide !

Piero, sweetheart !

Sorry to have you see me Iike this.

- How's Piero ?

- Pretty weII.

That's a reIief.

What are you doing here ?

Seeing a Iover in secret ?

What Iover ? No way.

That's Piero's shirt, he hates

a woman's scent, so he's out,

I'd guess he Ient you the house.

Yes, actuaIIy,

he Ient me the house

because I have a Iover...

but I can't meet him at my house.

Nosy neighbors.

Is he in there ?

No, he's aIready Ieft.

Is he an important poIitician ?

You have to teII me who he is,
