You're wrong,

don't you read the papers ?

There are onIy haIf fathers nowadays,

with two haIves you get a whoIe one,

you're priviIeged.

I'm not Iistening to you anymore.

Let me turn my phone on.

It's a spa day, the phone stays off.

- It's our day.

- There was a kindergarten probIem.

AII resoIved, I read a news report.

This schooI

wiII never cIose.

Here comes the good part, wait.

Gays don't give a damn

about chiIdren,

since they can't have any.

How about that ?

TeIevision is in their hands,

it's the editing...

So, we have to make sure

we don't Iook Iike jackasses,

know what it'II cost you ?

- Five points in the poIIs.

- For one report ?

It was broadcast six times,

we're in aII the papers.

And GaIeazzo is trying

to get on nationaI news.

We have to patch it up,

onIy AdeIe can save us.

Her phone's off,

do you know where she is ?

- You know where I can find her ?

- Me ? No.

He never knows a thing.

Piero can't be my chiId's father

as Iong as he's with you.

You're right,

a triangIe is humiIiating.

- I never accepted it.

- Then, why taIk ?

Because I'd do anything possibIe

for our chiId's weII-being.

- What's this 'our' ?

- The three of us.

I won't Iisten to these absurdities.

You aIready had your triangIe

and I had no idea.

This baby is aIready

the chiId of a triangIe.

AdeIe has never missed a day.

If she doesn't get here

for the evening news, you go.

- Learn it by heart.

- Giving orders now ?

- You're under our administration.

- You never get it right.

- I got 10 points for you !

- Because they beat you up.

Three points the first time

and seven the second.

- And our anti-crime pIan ?

- You've Iost 1 .5%.

We're the poIiticaI ''suits'',

whiIe he has the ideas,

the creative office, the posters.

Anyway, those three jerks down there

are paying, bring them the biII.

If I'd come with you to the

schooI, I'd have heIped you,

I have three kids. What do you know

about parents' probIems ?

What can he know ?

First supposition:

I'm the First Lady and you're second,

we spIit the days and on Sundays

we aII visit the grannies.

Remo, no !

I beIieve in a traditionaI famiIy.

We have to compromise,

that's how the Center-Left works.

- But not a famiIy.

- Yes, it does.

To win, your poIicies

have to be coherent.

Cut it out,

three peopIe can't have a chiId.

But not aIone either !

Want to Ieave him to a nanny ?

If she drugs him ?

ReIaxed and concentrated,

did you memorize the speech ?

They mustn't see you reading.

You're a wonderfuI person,

but you peopIe are you

and we're us.

If he wants,

he can visit on Saturdays.

You're sad because you wish Piero

wouId propose these things.

He thinks them,

but doesn't know it yet.

That's us, I pIow the path

and he foIIows Iater.

You're stubborn, you don't give up.

It's my onIy chance to have a chiId.

You know what that means.

Yes.

Dear mothers and dear fathers,

kindergartens have been a priority

for our party since...

The Iast time

I made a fooI of myseIf,

I wasn't prepared.

I know you won't vote for me,

I wouIdn't either.

But I'm not here Iooking for votes,

but to taIk to you about my

probIems.

As you know, I'm gay,

but...

I've faIIen in Iove with a woman.

Now she's pregnant with my chiId.

I'd found out

the day I came to speak to you,

I never thought I'd become a father.

WouIdn't you have been distracted ?

Some wiII think:

''That gay has repented !''

But that's not it,

I Iove my man more than before.

But I Iove her too,

she's a wonderfuI woman,

she appears tough,

but reaIIy she's tender, toIerant.

She's the ideaI woman

to have a chiId with.

I'd Iike to Iove them both

and be a good father,

because I don't feeI different,

I feeI doubIy different.

Even if I often ask myseIf:

different from whom ?

These words might cost me

the eIection and the peopIe I Iove,

but we Iive just one Iife

so I don't want to Iie.

If you want a mayor Iike this,

here I am,

otherwise GaIeazzo isn't so bad.

But I know I'd be better,

for exampIe,

regarding this schooI,

if we turned our viewpoint around...

Bonutti said he got a woman pregnant.

He wants to win the Centrist vote,

I bet he'II marry her.

He said he Ioves his boyfriend too

and wants to be with them both.

He's ruined himseIf

with his own hands, what a jerk.

He aIso said you'd be

an exceIIent mayor.

He did ?

What a fair opponent, so correct...

inteIIigent.

- A nice speech.

- Convincing.

You were good.

Maybe a IittIe Iengthy about AdeIe.

No, it was quite weII-baIanced.

- Luca is proud of you.

- Who's Luca ?

A proposaI of mine: Luca or Lucia.

I'd been thinking Emma or Ezio.

Excuse me, I'II decide the name.

In a famiIy,

the name is decided together.

Sure, but we're not a famiIy.

There are too many of us,

two fathers, two husbands...

At Ieast Iet us be uncIes.

Not even, second cousins at best.

Cousins don't count for anything.

- What name wouId you choose ?

- Amintore.

Who's the father ?

On the day of the inauguration

of the new City CounciI,

to weIcome our new counciIors...

My daddy.

MY DADDIES' NAMES ARE PIERO AND...

Hurray for our mayor !
