Yes. Of course.

So, where's Charlie?

We'll give you a drive there straight away.

No, l'm...

Claire, l can't take you away

from this place, so...

My son can drive you.

-Just a moment.

-Yes. Grazie.

l'm so happy for you.

ls something wrong?

No! No.

No. lt's just, you know...

And you're leaving?

An angel brought you to me.

Thank you.

Thank you. l'll be eternally grateful.

Thank you.

lt's very kind. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

-You're always welcome here.

-Thank you.

-Thank you, Lorenzo.

-Ciao.

Speak soon.

Bye.

Darling, you're family,

so l think you'll understand

why l'm telling you you're a total idiot.

Okay, okay, then don't sugarcoat it, Gran.

l won't.

How many Sophies do you think there are

on this planet?

Don't wait 50 years like l did.

Go. Go! Go!

l missed you so much! So much.

...in person because l couldn't

send you an e-mail,

because it was... lt just didn't make sense,

because l know you were having...

One second.

Hello? Hey. Yeah, yeah.

We just have to sort out all the deliveries

that we need to make. l mean...

What happened?

You don't like the ending?

No, the ending's fine.

lt's actually quite moving.

But what happened to the people?

l mean, are they still together?

What about... What about the kid?

What about Charlie? Where's he?

l don't know. l didn't keep in touch.

Do you have any advice?

l think you should buy stock in Alitalia,

'cause all the ladies are gonna be flocking

to Verona.

Are you gonna publish this?

Yeah, l'm gonna publish it.

lt's a good story.

You got anything else for me?

No, not at the moment.

Oh, my God.

You said Tuscan gold, right? Tuscan gold?

Look. This is yellow.

Yellow. Tuscan gold. Yellow.

l mean, there's no Tuscany, there's no gold.

-lt's just like Limoncello, you know.

-Sure.

-Yeah? Can we do it again?

-Yeah. Yeah.

-Yeah? All right, all right, all right.

-Let's go. Come on.

Let's try it again.

-Hey, Sophie.

-Hi.

Hey, how's your day been?

-l showed my story to Bobby.

-Did he like it?

Yeah, he's gonna print it.

-Print it?

-Yeah.

Wow! Wow. That's pretty great, huh?

-l know. Did you read it?

-Yeah, yeah.

-No. l...

-Last night l left it out for you to read.

l don't need to.

l mean, l know it's gonna be great.

Plus, l'm gonna see it...

l'm gonna see it when it comes out.

That's why l prefer to buy it.

-You know, l'm surprised, like...

-Yeah.

-- You know? Like...

- Watch out! Watch out!

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

-Thanks for lunch.

-Oh, my God. You so deserve this.

l want to be your fact checker for life.

Don't ever think

about going anywhere else, ever. Ever.

l promise.

-Hi, guys.

-Hey.

Sophie, these messages are for you.

Oh!

-And a letter came for you.

-Thank you.

New Yorker.

We were both young when l first saw you

l close my eyes and the flashback starts

l'm standing there

On a balcony in summer air

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns

l see you make your way through the crowd

And say hello

Little did l know

That you were Romeo

You were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet

And l was crying on the staircase

Begging you please don't go

Hey, what's that smell? What...

Hey, Alfonzo, Alfonzo.

No, no, no, no. We said...

We said we were gonna sweat

the onion, yeah.

No, this is caramelized.

No. Sweat. Sweat, okay?

l don't know where you got that from.

Okay, come on, do it again.

Hi.

Hey, Sophie.

Hey, Sophie. How're you doing?

Everything all right?

Lorenzo and Claire are getting married.

Really? Wow.

-When?

-On Saturday.

Saturday? This Saturday? Yeah?

Yeah. l'm gonna go.

Alone.

Alone?

Guys, can you step out

of the kitchen, please?

Yeah, everyone. Yeah, just leave...

Leave everything as it is.

lt's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

Everyone, please!

Just out of the kitchen, come on.

Come on.

-Wait. No, no, no. Sophie, wait...

-No, no, no. Just...

Let me get this out. Please?

l really don't know what this is anymore.

l don't know what we're doing.

l mean, we went on vacation

and we didn't spend any time together.

Yeah, because you were busy writing.

-l didn't mind.

-Yeah, but...

-l didn't mind.

-l know you didn't mind.

-And you were busy.

-Come on...

You went to Livorno and l didn't mind.

-No, no, no, Sophie! No, no, no...

-No... Which is what l'm saying.

Victor, we went on, like, a honeymoon

and we didn't mind

being apart from each other.

lt's not supposed to be that way.

We're supposed to want to be

with each other all the time.

Well, l wish l could tell you

that things are gonna be different

and that l'm gonna be different,

but l...

-This is who l am.

-l know, but l love...

l love who you are.

But l've changed.

lt's not working.

l have to go, Victor.

Romeo, save me, l've been feeling so alone

l keep waiting for you but you never come

ls this in my head?

l don't know what to think

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet

You'll never have to be alone

l love you and that's all l really know

l talked to your dad

Go pick out a white dress

lt's a love story, baby, just say yes

'Cause we were both young

when l first saw you

-Sophie?

-Hi.

-Hi.

-Hey!

Hi.

Can't believe you're here.

You look beautiful.

When did you get in?

Where are you staying?

l haven't figured that out yet.

Well, no need. You'll stay here.

Lorenzo wouldn't have it any other way.

l hope so. How is...

How's our great Lorenzo?

ls he as amazing as ever?

-Even more so.

-Yeah?

-- Actually, l wanna just...

- There you are!

l think we're ready in there,

and she'll be here any second.

Sophie, this is Patricia.

Hi.

The Sophie?

The Sophie.

lt is so nice to finally meet you.

-Well, l'll see you inside.

-Okay.

-Don't trip.

-As if l'm not nervous enough.

-Bye.

-Bye.

Okay.

-lt's great to see you.

-l'm gonna go in. l will...

-l'll... l'll see you after, okay?

-Okay. Yep.

-Hi.

-Hi.

-Hi, Sophie.

-l'm so happy to see you.

-How are you? How are you?

-l'm happy to see you.

Beautiful. Beautiful.

Boy!

-We're here.

-lt's amazing.

l just want to say thank you

on behalf of myself and my lovely wife,

la mia bella Claire!

And now it's your turn.

-Well...

-Go on.

Dear friends,

50 years ago,

l went to Juliet's house in Verona.

l wrote her a letter

and l asked her a question.

And two months ago, l received a reply.

And without that letter,

none of us would be here today.

Sophie, would you mind

if l read out the words you wrote to me?

All right?

"Dear Claire, 'what' and 'if'

"are two words as non-threatening

as words can be.

"But put them together, side by side,

"and they have the power

to haunt you for the rest of your life.

"What if?

"l don't know how your story ended,

"but if what you felt then was true love

"then it's never too late.

"lf it was true then,

why wouldn't it be true now?

"You need only the courage

"to follow your heart.

"l don't know

what a love like Juliet's feels like,
