Happy Family Page #2

#Everyone knows#

#what effect a woman's hand,#

#even if Chinese,#

#produces in that place. #

#This action is repeated#

#over and over again. #

#Even when the massage#

#moves to the legs... #

#Here Yoko asks me to turn over. #

Turn over.

#I turn over... #

#Guys, it looks like#

#Benny Goodman's clarinet!#

- I don't understand.

- Nice hard-on!

#She began massaging my pectorals,#

#moving down to my abdominals and... #

Done.

#Guys, I came#

#in just 14 seconds flat. #

Best of everything.

No, not the hand...

#I feel great, I feel really great. #

#But... #

#What the f***'s a seagull doing#

#in a city with no sea?#

What the f***...

#Hi. #

#You know me, don't you?#

Yes.

#Can I say something?#

#I thought I was#

#the main female character,#

#pretty, with some hang-ups,#

#I'd have fallen in love... #

#so then, excuse me if I say so,#

#how's the Chinese fit in?#

I'm still on the introduction,

creating the premises,

shaping characters,

you'll see how the Chinese...

#It's been ages#

#since you mentioned me. #

#I agree,#

#the scene's just for a laugh. #

#Good thing it was#

#to be an art film. #

#And me?#

#I had a few lines then nothing. #

- Relax.

#- We all agree. #

#We're secondary characters, okay,#

#no names even,#

#but you could#

#give us some development. #

#Get lost, scram. #

Please! Can I say...

#You talked only about you. #

#Me too, I'm Filippo's mother#

#and stepmother to Caterina,#

#she's the main character. #

#I'd say my part is a bit too small,#

#wouldn't you?#

Yes, you're right.

#Leave him alone! He's an artist,#

#he needs his space,#

#his tranquility, right Ezio?#

Good Vincenzo,

I'm still finding my style,

the right words,

you know what I mean.

#Of course I know, the words... #

#You could have me say#

#just a little more. #

#The idea of the illness is nice,#

#but it goes nowhere. #

#What happens next?#

#Will I die?#

#Or recover? I'll will if you want. #

#- Can I ask a question?#

#- Yes, Mom. #

#Who's Ezio?#

I'm the author!

The one writing this movie

and who decides, if you don't mind.

#But I want to fall in love. #

You want to fall in love?

Great, she wants to fall in love!

Know what we'll do?

#I feel great, I feel really great. #

#But... #

#What the f***'s a seagull doing#

#in a city with no sea?#

Watch out!

Hold it!

Hold it everyone, I'm a doctor!

You're in good hands.

Do you feel anything?

Dizziness, shortness of breath,

flashing scotomata...?

- I'm fine.

- Nauseous feelings?

Guilty feelings, at least!

Stay down, the ambulance

will get you on your feet.

The lady crossed on red.

Call the police, witnesses,

she crossed on red.

Stay down!

#I'm on an old streetcar,#

#the kind with wooden seats,#

#I'm going home. #

#I'd been shopping, some lingerie. #

#At a certain point#

#I smell a strange smell,#

#like trash or something. #

#I try to figure where it's coming#

#from and feel all eyes#

#are staring at me. #

#I have to get off this streetcar!#

#It was my father,#

#he was the one stinking. #

Yes?

#There's an urgent call#

#for Miss Caterina. #

#I'll transfer it to your office. #

- I'm sorry I...

- Please.

When?

How is she?

Alright, I'll be right there.

Is something wrong?

I apologize for changing

the agenda without notice,

I know how urgent the

Mortaretti case is, I'll be brief.

I'm forced to resign.

I've been diagnosed with a tumor,

malignant, of course.

I'm not sure

I'll undergo any medical treatment,

I want to decide calmly.

I need time with my family,

I hope you'll understand.

Mr. Agosti, your wife's been hit.

Is it serious?

Your wife or the fact she was hit?

My wife, how is she?

They didn't say,

but they'd like you to come.

Call Filippo at tennis,

I'll pick him up in ten minutes.

- Did they say how she is?

- No, just to come.

- Not even how it happened?

- No.

- Was it a car?

- I don't know!

They only said to come.

- Listen.

- Tell me.

- Are you a little fond of me?

- Of course.

Even though I'm not your dad?

I'm fond of lots of people

even though they're not my dad.

- You're right.

- I know.

Listen...

No, nothing.

Vincenzo?

- I want to get married.

- That's lovely!

It's lovely to get married.

- Can people get married at 16?

- Meaning?

You're a lawyer, by law

can people get married at 16?

It depends. Why the question?

Because in a month

I'm getting married.

Why do you two love each other?

You don't know.

- Of course we do.

- Then tell me.

Because...

Because we found each other.

In other words?

He was looking for me

and I was looking for him and...

We found each other!

That's love, meeting the person

you've been looking for

and being convinced it will last...

all your lives.

That you'll be together

all your lives.

That's what Marta and I want too.

For three days I've had soup,

mashed potatoes and an apple.

In the hospital,

apples taste like mashed potatoes,

mashed potatoes

taste like soup and apples too.

I was right,

the whore had crossed on red.

She went home

with just a lump on her head.

She came to see me yesterday.

#She's a lovely woman, we chatted,#

#she invited me to dinner. #

#I said I'd think about it. #

If you need money, don't hesitate.

I don't have big problems,

least of all is money.

I'm rich, but no thanks to me.

My father, who died seven years ago,

invented the plastic ball

for washing machine detergents.

Every time you buy one,

you contribute to my well-being.

And then there's Gianni.

He was a gift from Francesca,

my ex-girlfriend.

He'll show you how egocentric,

selfish and boring you are.

One more thing:
go f*** off.

I don't want a dog!

You have to take him for walks,

talk to other dog owners.

- What's the name?

- Gianni.

- Not you, the dog.

- The dog's name is Gianni.

I'm Gianni too.

Colanzi?

You're hiding? You've been released.

I couldn't stay for dinner, could I?

Guys, my mother.

Ezio, sweetheart!

Sweetie, come here,

give your mom a kiss!

The net's cute.

- What's this f***ing car?

- I bought it yesterday, like it?

Naturally, she benefits

from the plastic ball too.

- You've been in the sun?

- It shows?

You look like Nelson Mandela.

Strap in,

when I hit the gas, it takes off.

Mom!

Hello?

It's Anna Agosti,

the one you ran down on your bike.

The one who crossed on red.

The invitation is still valid,

this time you can't say no.

We're giving a dinner party tomorrow,

there'll be other guests too.

The problem is

my son wants to get married,

I'm having his girlfriend

and her parents over to talk,

my son's 16!

- I can't.

- Don't say you can't.

I'll be offended.

At 9 pm, 12 Via Conservatorio.

- Ring "Agosti".

- I can't.

- I'd like to, but...

- No "buts", you must.

Okay, see you tomorrow.

What a shitty day!

CONFIDENCES:

What beautiful shrimp!

For starters, steamed shrimp,

so we'll have white wine,

and eat shrimp without forks.

Like the Japanese!

Vincenzo loves shrimp,

he's crazy about them.
