Happy Family Page #4

it's clear!

Okay, but the ambulance?

He found the dead hamster

combed and washed,

he had a stroke and the ambulance

took them both away.

Now I get it!

#I'm doing great, you let her#

#get away, you're a fool. #

#They even sat you next to her!#

#She has a wonderful smell. #

#I don't want to make love to her,#

#just give her a kiss. #

- How old are you?

- 27 and you?

- 38.

- I'm 45.

- What sign are you?

- Libra.

But my rising sign's Gemini,

that makes it bearable.

- And you?

- Cancer, Cancer rising.

I'm Taurus.

Sorry,

I thought it was the chair's arm.

You were saying?

Here's first course,

fettuccini with shrimp and mushrooms.

Mom, the second course comes now.

Don't you want fettuccini?

It's with shrimp and mushrooms.

We've just had that.

The second course comes now.

- Was it good?

- Certainly, right?

The second course is fish kebabs.

That's lovely!

You don't expect

rich people to be nice,

but these people are,

it's like a luxury campground here.

I thought this one was a nerd,

but he's a good guy.

Ezio, your dog is...

- It's not what it seems.

- No, it's what it seems.

Don't worry, it's happened before,

I know what to do.

There.

He's just euphoric, behave, Gianni.

- Heavens, we didn't need this!

- But they found each other.

She charmed him,

maybe with a "Husky" voice...

He's just euphoric. Gianni, come.

Come away, say goodbye.

Excuse us.

Think she got pregnant?

Let's hope not.

I'd never seen a canine coitus.

I must say I'm not up on dogs,

I know a Greyhound because it's gray,

a Pointer because it points,

or a Retriever, 'cause

it picks up stuff and brings it home.

A Chow-chow for its hellos,

a Black Russian Terrier,

'cause they love to drink.

I once saw three Bull Dogs

shootin' the breeze,

triple bull!

Great Danes are foreign to me,

I mean...

What's wrong?

No,

it must be all the laughing.

- Will you tell me another story?

- What story?

Something you make up.

Well...

Towards mid-century,

the Earth had a start

and decided to do her best for once,

maybe for the last time.

She called the ocean tides,

the most famous winds,

rare flowers, the Nile, the Ganges,

the Plata and the Mississippi.

Then not knowing

what to do with all of this,

she asked a passing wayfarer

how he saw perfection.

She asked me too,

and so...

she made you.

- Caterina, Ezio, cake's here!

- There's a birthday?

- His.

- Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday, counselor.

With all those candles,

I thought it was my wife's birthday.

Before we cut the cake,

I'd like to make an announcement.

You already know,

but I'd like to make it official.

Wait.

No Marta, I'll tell them,

I'm the man.

I don't want to marry you.

What?

I don't want to marry you,

I don't feel ready.

- We agreed.

- No.

I didn't agree,

you did the whole thing, as usual.

You get an idea and it's law.

Any idea:

if I want to see a movie,

he says it's crap

and we see what he wants.

The ones he wants make me puke!

You and your knitted vests

make me puke.

And that's not all:

I'm in love with someone else.

Want to know who?

Do you want to know?

Do you all want to know?

Why not...

If you want to tell us...

Francesco.

Who's he?

Francesco Rossini.

The kid in section C?

Yes.

- I'm speechless.

- Good.

So you'll shut up for once

and I won't hear

that little childish, jerk-off voice.

I'm done.

May I serve the fettuccini?

- It's with shrimp and mushrooms!

- Mom, please!

Wait a moment.

It'll get cold and be ruined.

Mom, Dad, stay if you like,

may I go home?

- No.

- Sure.

Goodbye and forgive me.

- I'm going to my room.

- I'll come with you.

No, I'd like to be alone.

Happy Birthday Vincenzo,

can I give you my gift tomorrow?

Certainly.

Goodnight.

I'm a little warm,

maybe it's just me...

Nice house.

It was my grandparents',

I grew up here.

Mine was different.

Francesco Rossini!

How in the world?

Talks soccer, got pimples

and the culture I had when I was 3.

Women are all alike,

and at 16 they're even idiots!

But I love her,

I can't live without her.

Call me.

Please, Marta.

Call me.

Please, call me.

I'll count to five and you'll ring.

One, two,

three,

four,

four and a half,

almost five,

five.

Six,

seven...

Mind if I smoke a joint?

- Go right ahead.

- Can I?

Strange evening.

- But I'm starting to like it.

- Me too, strange, but nice.

Want some?

You know I've never,

in all my life, smoked one?

Maybe the time has come,

how old are you?

55 today.

It doesn't show, I'd have said 54.

Why not...

You and Vincenzo get along well.

- You're a beautiful couple.

- Yes.

Thank you.

Have you been married long?

16 years.

- What do you do?

- I've been lots of things.

A nurse in Tunisia,

a chauffeur in Brazil,

a deejay in Thailand, I opened

an ice cream shop in Chechnya,

a cock-up.

One day they shot me

in the chocolate chips!

I met my wife in Ibiza

and then started as a skipper

and now, whenever I can, I go to sea.

But in simple terms, what do you do?

I find Filippo very inflexible.

- Can I confess something?

- Sure.

I can't bear him.

For him, to be grown

means to be serious,

he's now more serious

than adults, but he'll change.

And Marta?

I don't understand her anymore.

Maybe I'm changing too.

Sometimes I realize I'm unbearable.

The slightest thing irritates me,

my husband, her...

I wasn't always like this.

At work too.

Until a few years ago

I'd listen to everyone, not now,

they irritate me!

- Am I irritating you?

- Absolutely not.

- I was thinking what you said.

- If I am, say so.

I tell you you're not.

What do you think causes this...

- That you're a little...

- Irritating? Or irritable?

There's a big difference!

Irritable. I don't know.

I don't want to smile

all the time anymore.

I work for a company

that builds yachts.

When the boat's ready,

I deliver it to the owner.

Can't he come and get it?

Those people

don't buy boats to sail them.

They buy them

to keep moored and be admired.

Most they do is swim off it.

But a boat's female,

she wants to sail,

feel the sea, the wind.

It makes her alive, beautiful.

If you leave her in the harbor,

she gets melancholy.

I've been only to Morocco.

Maybe we saw each other there,

I've seen you before.

Didn't we meet there?

I don't think so,

Morocco's a big place.

It must be nice to sail.

Next week I have

to deliver a boat to Panama.

It's twenty days of sailing,

the Atlantic Ocean.

I can't wait to leave.

- You and Vincenzo have a nice...

- A nice?

You get along well.

Yes, yes.

Do we change the subject?

With sugar or black?

Black.

Listen,

I'll just say lay it on you,

with this...

Do you think

I could come along too?

Where?

With you.

To deliver that boat.

#Why has he stopped talking?#

#Maybe he's getting bored. #

#I can't stand silence. #

#Listen to the serene silence. #

#When two people are silent together#

#and don't feel edgy,#

#they're well-suited. #
