- Fingers crossed!

- Break an ovary!

- Good morning...

- Not interested, thanks.

And lastly,

let me sum things up for you:

Artificial reproduction

is an obstacle course.

If Antonia reacts well

to the hormones

and the oocytes are inseminated,

we have a 30-35% success rate.

Not now, I'm with patients,

I'll call you back.

Questions?

- You seem a bit perplexed.

- In fact, I don't understand.

Especially that pick-up

and transit stuff.

Pick-up is the retrieval

of follicles

to see if there are oocytes.

And transfer, not transit, my love,

is when they place them in you

upon insemination by spermatozoids.

- That's when they're embryos.

- It's all here in this pamphlet.

- No, that freaks me out!

- It seems worse than it is.

Even if I don't understand

I trust you because I like you.

Thanks, likewise.

If you agree, we'll start

the treatment with your next cycle.

Puregon injection,

morning and evening.

Good evening.

Could we kindly have a double room?

Do you have a reservation?

No. If you don't have a room

we'll go elsewhere.

No need to. I just need

your IDs and we're all set.

Thanks.

- You're Guido?

- I am.

Chamomile for Mrs. Rosetta

and a coffee for Mr. Domenico.

No need to go to all this trouble.

I called Antonia

but her phone's off,

she'll hear my message tomorrow.

I doubt she'd want to see us anyway.

She doesn't take our calls anymore.

She never gave us her address.

Her mother's been worried sick.

Tell him.

We thought she was pregnant

and was having problems.

Not pregnant, no problems.

Antonia is perfectly fine,

she works, writes her songs.

- She's told me lots about you.

- Really?

I can't understand

why she won't see any of us.

Her cousin Stefania, they were

so close, her sister Carmela.

Her brothers, Valentino and Salvo.

All her nieces and nephews.

She's never seen them.

This... this is Susanna,

Flavio, Vincenzo, and Maria Claudia.

And that's our supermarket,

Antonia's brothers work there.

What a lovely family.

Is this her?

She was always sulking.

Is she cheerful and nice with you?

- Of course.

- With us, she never even smiles.

- What did we do to her'?

- We must've done something wrong.

- Yes, we loved her too much.

- Come on...

- Go ahead.

- How lovely!

If you need anything,

you can reach me by dialing nine.

I'll wake you up tomorrow

at 7:
00 AM.

- Are you sure this is a good idea?

- Yes, it'll be great.

- Good night.

- Good night, Guido.

Good night.

Friday, January 28th,

St. Miliano of Trevi.

Martyr under Diocletian who killed

him while tied to an olive tree.

Real cheerful.

You didn't hear my messages?

Why?

Is it time for another injection?

- Who's here?

- Stay calm.

They come in peace

and with the best intentions.

Who?

Jesus Christ!

Mommy's darling!

Come here, Domenico.

My sweetheart!

My darling!

- You like your car dealership job?

- Car rental. Yes.

Do you get benefits,

in case you need maternity leave?

- Mom, knock it off with the plates.

- I finished.

- We have a dishwasher.

- Sorry.

Almond cookie? They're delicious.

What's the deal with this house?

Do you have a mortgage?

No, we're illegally squatting.

We're squatters.

She's kidding, we rent,

we have a rental contract...

But why? You should buy a place,

we'll help you!

When her sister had her first kid

we bought her a new house.

- Classy...

- Classy, with two bathrooms.

Enough mom, for f***'s sake!

Quit cleaning and sit down!

- Sorry...

- Sit down.

Don't treat your mom like that!

She keeps cleaning up

to remind me that I'm messy.

I wanted to help.

No need to remind me, I know

my home isn't spotless like yours.

We work, I can't go crazy cleaning!

Leave her alone,

she didn't say anything.

Please, don't! - And are you done

interrogating me?

I'm innocent, Your Honor.

You always lash out at us,

at me and her,

we specifically came to Rome

to help you,

worried about

your children's future.

What children? You came here

to bust my damn balls!

Is that how you talk?

I woke up this morning

and found two pains in the ass here.

Now I have to traverse the city

to go to work, and I'm late!

I even have a headache,

hope you're not here when I return.

And you, Guido, well done!

Great f***ing idea, thanks!

F*** you!

- You upset her.

- Me? What about you?

Why couldn't you sit still

instead of cleaning everything?

Now what?

I can take you around

to see the Colosseum, St. Peter's...

Let's go see the Pope

for a blessing.

I'm sorry,

she's a bit worn out lately.

But I'm certain she loves you,

things will get better soon.

Thanks, you're a real darling.

Bye.

Have a good trip, call me anytime.

Thanks.

Here we are...

"Mom, what's a deficit?"

Got it! Needle please.

Aspirate...

Here it is, it's beautiful!

Fabrizio, Efisio, and Guido,

the pick-up went well,

your women were brave,

now it's your turn.

Hurry up and go do your duty now.

We have one room on the 3rd oor,

no bickering.

Guido, we found seven oocytes.

We'll pick the nicest ones,

we're in your hands now, get to it!

I'm off.

Please be patient,

your pick-ups will be next.

Be strong, have faith,

it'll all go well.

- Excuse me!

- No running in the hospital!

- Last room on the right.

- Thanks.

You can't do this!

First here, seminal liquid sample.

Second!

I'll use the bathroom.

Come on, damn you!

Do me a favor this time, come on!

- Are you done?

- Coming...

- Nurse, this man is...

- Coming, coming.

- Be patient, sir.

- I'm done.

Go on.

Not in the bathroom,

it's a matter of principles.

Are you all right?

I'm swell, what did you give me?

- Some good stuff.

- Damn good.

Your man is having a hard time,

he's still at it.

- Go, faster!

- You'll get me fired.

- Where is he?

- Here.

- I paid for this service too.

- Hold on... You okay?

- Baby, it's me. Excuse me...

- Are you nuts?

- No fair!

- This isn't The Amazing Race.

Sweet Mary!

Hurry, quick!

I'm sorry, really. Quick!

Sorry, I used to be first-rate.

- I apologize.

- I got here first.

Go to sleep, will you?

Go to sleep.

What's that, doctor?

All three inseminated?

Holy sh*t!

The implant, yes.

The transfer, right? Of course.

Perfect. Of course,

I'll rest, I'll stay home.

Thanks doctor, I love you!

Sir, do you have a second?

Call you right back.

"Sir", really?

Have you come to ask for a raise?

I wanted to tell you that I'll

need some time off as of Monday.

May I ask for what reason?

- Personal reasons.

- Personal reasons?

Have a seat, please.

So as of Monday?

- What did he say?

- He went along.

I'll be off till next month.

Fantastic! A toast!

After the transfer, no more beers.

You don't need to tell me.

- Imagine if all three are born!

- Oh please.

Triplets are common

with artificial insemination.

We'd have to pick three names.

We're not naming them after family.

- Elpidius, Agatho, Geminus.
