First Love Page #3

You go down,|I brought the red plates.

Put them aside and we'll continue.

We don't need them!

- We need to do the tablecloths.|- No, move them!

We'll put the red plates here!

They don't belong here.|Sonia...

Sonia! Sonia, enough!|Anto! Anto!

- I can't stand her anymore.|- What's going on? Sonia...

I can't deal with her.|You try!

She's out of it!

Seems things are getting worse.

You're never there,|he's always complaining,..

..I'm sick of this situation.

What're you trying to say?|Speak, damn it!

The situation's ugly, I wanted to see|if you had something to say.

I've already told you.

It's a rough moment,|try and be patient.

- We can't anymore.|- It has happened before, right?

The money has always come in|and so have the orders.

We can't manage anymore,|an opportunity's come up now...

Are you saying|you're abandoning me?

Possibilities for an interesting job|have come up.

We wanted to see if you had something|interesting to say.

So you found another job?

- Then say so!|- Yes. - Then say so!

Now I told you, sorry,|it's awkward...

Say it, you haven't yet.

- We want to leave.|- We want to leave.

We came to tell you|we're quitting.

Send me a letter then.

I see, we'll work out|the money situation later.

If you give me time, you'll do me|a favor, if not....

We've always tried|to meet you half-way.

There's nothing more to say.

- If you have to leave, just leave.|- Alright, then we leave.

- We're sorry, but....|- Bye. - Bye. - Bye.

After years of working|with his father....

My final offer.

- Can't we do 5,000?|- No, I've already wasted time.

That's all it's worth,|nothing more.

- Can I start loading?|- Fine.

- Or we'll unload it all.|- Go ahead and load.

Load it up!

Load it up!

You bring me down.|I finally freed myself of that job.

I have time for me, you.

We can consider|doing something together!

I can start|playing the drums again.

You don't seem to care at all.

- Sonia!|- No, no... - No, no, what?

What's important is|that you're with me.

- But I am with you.|- Like this you're not!

This way, you're not... at all.

What happened?

Sonia!

Is there a doctor?

Give her room to breathe.|Let an expert take a look, sir.

Tell them you feel better.

- What?! How's the lady?|- She's fine.

- Let the doctor decide.|- I know what's wrong.

- What?|- Low potassium level.

Is this the first time it happened?

- She's fine. Sonia!|- Her pulse?

She's my girlfriend,|I know what's wrong.

Leave her alone, let her breathe.

- I just want to be sure.|- Doctor, take a look.

She doesn't need a doctor!

What are you doing?

Take it easy, please.|Let the doctor look.

- Let the doctor look!|- Leave me alone!

I'm going to throw you out.

- I'm going to throw you out.|- Leave me alone, damn it!

- There's a doctor, I don't want|trouble in my club. - Vit!

Please, don't stand up.

- Stop it!|- Vit! I'm fine.

Leave her alone!|Where are you taking her?

- Leave him alone!|- What?

Vit, I'm fine. I'm fine.|Just go away!

I planted eggplants there,..

..huge black cabbage here,|the ones mom liked,..

..then strawberries...|- Wow...

Plus celery....|What are you wearing?

You silly boy...

- Where did you get those?|- From Mars.

Cute...

- You're funny, cute.|- I'm handsome, right?

But you seem wilted.

- Think so?|- Like a thirsty flower,..

..keeled over. Understand?

Almost thinned down.

- Have you lost weight?|- A bit.

I'm fine.

- When are you leaving?|- Next week.

- So soon? - I'm going|to Bolivia, Lake Titikaka,..

..the Uyuni Desert,|the Atacama Desert,..

..on the border|of Bolivia and Chile,..

..where roses bloom once a year|for only a few hours. - Really?

- Very beautiful flowers.|- How nice!

You look worn out.|Are you having problems?

- Is there something wrong?|- Nothing. - Are you sure?

You're not telling the truth.

Come here.

I'll make you fly!

(A bit more work|and it'll be over.)

(It's odd,|because I should be sad.)

(lnstead I feel more free.|As if everything is losing weight.)

(Sonia, first you have to remove|everything, understand? )

(When there's nothing left,|then you begin to scrape,..)

(..nice and easy.)

(You throw nothing away,|you gather it all into bags..)

(..and have it burned.)

(But something still remains.)

(After you've burned it all,|the ashes remain.)

(Then the ashes melt away..)

(..and finally|only what's precious,..)

(..what truly counts, remains.)

Sonia!

Sonia!

Sonia!

Sonia!

Sonia!

Sonia!

Vit!

Where did you go?

- Where were you?|- I went for a walk.

I'm here.

Don't ever disappear.

You're not you anymore, get it?|You're you with 1 5 kilos less.

I know it's no joke.

The mind needs to get used|to a body that's transforming.

When you reach the right weight|and stabilize....

Understand?

Sonia!

Are you listening?

I can understand|if you're not here.

I'm not here either,|in some senses.

You're lagging behind,|your mind is.

It's not at 45 kilos,|maybe it's still at 50.

But I'm ahead, I'm already thinking|of when you'll be at 40.

In some ways, neither of us|are here in this moment.

Understand what I'm saying?

You live a bit behind, in the past,|I live a bit ahead.

When you reach 40|with your mind too,..

..I'll already be there.

Then finally,|we'll both be there.

And we'll begin to live.

May I suggest a particular dish?

Potato dumplings with|white asparagus, quite delicate.

Perhaps you'd prefer|tonight's special,..

..something very particular,..

..fettuccine with St. George's|mushrooms. - St. George's mushrooms?

They're special mushrooms which are|in season and have a delicate flavor.

- From around here?|- Local, exactly.

- Would you like to try?|- Yes.

Has anything particular|caught your eye, ma'am?

Yes, sir?

Let me finish ordering...|Fillet.

- Fillet?|- Yes.

- Well done.|- No problem.

Ma'am?

A first course, a starter,|or a second course?

- For me, a green salad.|- A salad as a starter...

A generous portion.|No dressing, make sure.

- No problem. And?|- Enough....

A de-boned guinea hen?|Grilled meat?

The gentleman ordered a fillet,|the same for you?

Something roasted?

Or mixed cold cuts,|our local meat,..

..it's quite interesting.

Didn't you already order?

Very well, excuse me.

Thank you.

You can drink|half a glass of wine.

No... You think?

Vit! Hi, everything okay?

- May l? It's a pleasure, Mauro.|- Sonia.

The others are over there,|come to our table.

- Danilo, the others, Luciano...|- Luciano?

- Come to our table.|- The whole crew's there?

Come on,|we'll have a drink together.

- Maybe....|- Come on!

- Maybe for coffee.|- Can I steal him from you?

- Go ahead.|- Come on!

- Fine, I'll come say hi.|- You have to!

- Be right back.|- Excuse me.

Guys, big surprise...|Vittorio!

- How are you doing?|- Fine. And you?

Sit here!

- I have to....|- Come on, just a second.

- Here's a glass for you.|- You can't refuse a drink,..

..we played together for ages!|- Exactly!

What do you mean?

Sonia!

Ma'am! Ma'am!

Sonia! Sonia!

What is she doing here?
