Bye, Lucia.

Bye, see you.

Broadcast at 9:
00.

Alright.

Come on! What truth or dare is it? You're

only telling us lies! - You're so boring!

The truth, the whole truth!

- It's my turn. I know one thing...

I'm the truth in person!

- No dirty questions!

Here we go! - Thank goodness - Perfect!

But Sandro, stop it! You are a pain!

Elena, you know you're really elegant?

Why, it's ugly?

- No, it's beautiful, I swear.

There's no fun, this is not truth or dare!

- Oh, I swear it's the truth.

No, enough! Next one.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,

Catch a tiger by the toe.

If he hollers, let him go,

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Guys! There's Pierr!

Hello everybody!

Guys, I brought a gift to the monastery.

Question:

Would you like a watermelon cocktail?

Yes!

- To me the melon!

There!

Hooray! - Bravo.

And now, bring me some whiskey,

some Cognac, Benedictine,

Cointreau and 3 drops of angostura.

And..

You know, Pierr? We're playing truth or

dare. - Oh, yeah? And who's under? - Me.

I ask the questions!

Silence!

Bottles, knife and ice.

Excuse me!

Excuse me!

Silence!

You tell the truth, you?

- Of course!

What did you do that night in Ostia

when you remained alone with the inmate?

You said, sorry?

They asked you what you did that night

on the beach with Daniele.

I looked at the moon

and saw a falling star.

Well, what's so funny?

- May I ask her one more question, I?

Shut up, be quiet!

Standing,.. or lying?

Lying!

Now the third question!

And the angostura? You didn't bring the

angostura! You did not bring angostura!

The marathoner!

Hello!

I'm sorry, I didn't know you had people.

Since I can not tonight, I must go

to the radio, I wanted to warn you.

The phone was always busy.

- Get off! - It's them!

Come play. - I'll be right.

- Excuse me, guys. - If you want to go...

Don't go away, sorry. I had to

invite these people after that mess.

I didn't want to give the impression

of being guilty, to hide.

What do you care

about these people's opinion?

And then, hadn't we said...

- Lucia, are you offended? Are you upset?

No, nonsense.

Look,.. I have to go now.

I want to make you a proposal.

I took a job in England, a good post.

I'm leaving in a week.

I'm leaving the radio, come with me.

Massimo, we are going to dance.

It is not a proposal for a pleasure trip.

I mean, come with me.

Leave everything, we liquidate everything

Entrust to a lawyer

the chores to be settled.

I spoke with Daniele.

It was not an easy thing.

I see that your girlfriend, rather...

- Cause she's here?

Love, I could not do otherwise.

But you think that..?

Okay, dear.

Tonight I'm at the radio until late,

then I'll go home.

Think about what I said.

You'll answer yes or no.

Love, my love...

Go, your guests are waiting.

- Give me a kiss!

Goodnight.

What does she want?

Now you bring her even here at home!

She came looking for Daniele.

Beware, Massimo! Don't challenge me.

In the state I'm in, I might do anything.

You're cute when you're mad.

Sandro! How do I close here?

I'm under the water, Sandro!

You play. You like irritating me.

Don't you realize my state?

But no! No, Elena.

You know how much I'd like to.

But not now.

Not now that I feel so down.

That I have so much trouble.

But why?

It's the same.

Eh, you'll see yourself in a month or two!

If you could be free...

No!

No, Massimo! I won't! I can't!

So what should I do, my love?

It's you not to realize.

My situation is disastrous.

You know, we don't have a penny!

I don't want, don't want...

All right!

I don't know what else to tell you.

I'll do what you want, love.

You're a smart girl, Elena!

Master, watermelon in the room

is almost ready!

But yes, now! Alright.

Cheerful, little star!

Just, don't be concerned,..

if I'll be a bit... fugitive these days.

Hello!

How are you?

My bones are broken. Nice friend you are!

I didn't sleep. Rehearsals all night...

- Rehearsals?

"The blond Tiber".

And where are we? Aren't you at

the "Circe"? So why get off here?

So now you take the bus again

and go right back to Rome? - What?

But you're crazy! I'm going to sleep.

Then, once I'm here, take a dip.

You can do it at home in the tub!

Want a drink?

They got no whiskey, I warn you.

Get some milk to detox.

You'll explain all these mysteries.

I've yet to understand why you left Rome.

They say you ran away.

That it's not true that you sold

the hall, but it was the Agency.

Phoned me a lawyer.

To learn about my IOUs!

You know they seized your car?

See now the reason why I called you here?

I must talk to you exactly about this.

Then, there is another small matter...

I'm going to leave Rome for some time.

I have in mind a good deal, out there.

And I would take with me Elena.

But, I want her alone, understand?

Without hassles.

It's something delicate.

And you're the only one who can help me.

You know about life.

And it also takes money that I have not.

If you...

- Me? And what do you want me to do, I?

I never had children.

Will you help me or not?

You saw Mr. Fontana? - Yes, he left early.

He left you a note. Want breakfast?

No, thanks, after the bathe.

- All right.

Here it is, miss.

You're awake, honey?

Seen that good weather?

Be right back, I'm looking for a

sailboat and we go out. Your Massimo.

Sandro, for once that I ask you a favor.

- Ha!

And then, is not even for me, after all.

It's for Elena.

To think that you like her so much.

- Yes, she's so likable.

But it's you who...

Well, never mind.

I can not leave her in trouble.

- Again!

But I have breakfast now,

and we'll talk tomorrow.

Not a chance. You go, and hurry.

- Why? What's the rush?

A lot. I want Elena to be able to leave

in 3 or 4 days at the most, get it?

You won't go without settling my IOUs?

Don't give me trouble with my father!

Sandro, I have one friend only.

I won't risk him for peanuts.

Think of Elena. Go!

- Wait!

Phone right away what you've done.

- But when are you coming?

When you tell me it's all done.

Bye!

- MINISTRY OF FINANCE-

Come.

They have no objection to show you.

Of course, I explained the matter,

and that we appealed. - So then?

But of course!

He denounced you and took the prize.

Which at that time...

You were arrested

at the very moment that the rascal

had to give you the exact

account of everything.

To avoid it, he got rid of you.

Lawyer Passamonti knew it, he defended

you in agreement with Massimo Fontana.

Were it for me, in jail would be him.

Come, come!

- No, what's the point?

You told me all.

Enough, let's go.

But no! Now that you're here, come.

And then, it's better.

Sir, you allow me introduce you my client?

- Please, please, come in.

Well! It seems ridiculous

that I should come to teach you

that you can avoid

getting to such consequences.

I assure you, mom, I've always tried...

- It is not true!

But, it's her. Do not worry.

I know that kind of girls.

She's done everything

to get you a fait accompli.
