Pietro, what is it?

Did you call me?

You're not well.

I'm off, I'm already late.

Listen, I've been thinking

about this all night.

You need to get laid.

I don't know how, or who with...

...man, woman, your choice

but you have to get laid.

Bye.

Maria!

Hold it, don't move.

- Maria! - What is it?

- Don't move.

What is it?

Oh, right.

What an idiot!

My bosses would freak out!

Oh, my God!

- Tell me I wasn't wearing earrings.

- You weren't! - Good.

So I haven't lost them.

So, everything's okay.

Have a good day, Pietro.

Wait, I'll come with you.

You gave me a contract

for a house that's already occupied,

Did you know that?

You thought I was an idiot, right?

I trusted you.

You seemed like a nice person.

Do you have to be

an a**hole in this world?

Listen, I have a signed contract.

Kick them out, whatever,

but you have to resolve this.

Thank you so much, ma'am.

"Let's make it Thursday night,

send the address. Massimo".

"Let's make it Thursday night,

send the address. Massimo"...

Thursday night...

Let's make it Thursday night...

Send the address.

Thursday night.

Let's make it Thursday night...

Thursday night, thursday night.

Where's Garibaldi?

I don't know.

- Where's Garibaldi?

- Give me that, I'll look.

I'll look.

Excuse me, do you have Garibaldi?

Have you got Garibaldi?

I don't have Garibaldi,

it's extremely rare.

- Don't touch my things.

- You're very aggressive.

- You're scaring the boy.

- I'm scaring the boy?

You're scaring me.

Don't touch, they're my things.

You can't go into someone's home

and start touching things...

- I'm helping you.

- I can do it, I don't need any help.

Who turned this? I want it facing

the living room, okay?

Okay?

Yes.

And they even want to be in charge

with what I paid for this place.

Yusuf, what are you doing?

He's the only one who can help.

Do you want him to report us?

- We have to talk, you know that?

- Talk? About what?

You have to get out

this is my house.

You have to leave me alone.

Hear me?

Just wait, I'll show you.

- What would you like?

- I need an eviction letter.

You saw them again?

- Do you know who they are?

- No, I don't.

Yes sir, what is it?

- You did something to your hair?

- I'll call you later.

- Usual place for lunch?

- Let's say coffee? - Okay.

Seeing as...

...Massimo's coming to dinner...

Massimo's coming?

- Are you an idiot?

- At last.

He's a successful assistant director,

he doesn't have much time.

I need the house to be free.

Of course, dining with people staring

at you in the dark can't be easy.

Don't be funny.

You still owe me a favor.

- What?

- It's me who told you to cut your hair.

Remember that.

Leone Attorneys & Associates

Notice of summons...

...for the release of an apartment,

occupied without authorization.

I, the undersigned,

Pietro Pontechievello...

...tenant of the apartment

situated at 37 Via Cavalcanti...

...hereby make known that

I have signed a rental contract...

...and have paid a deposit,

equal to four month's rent.

Furthermore, there's all

the money I spent...

...on new furniture,

the energy spent moving.

This is my house, mine,

even the contract says so.

And...

...on Thursday evening...

...a very important person

is coming to dinner here.

So, for that date, I'd like

your definitive departure.

Have I made myself clear?

Coming...

- Hi.

- Hi.

Here we are... well?

- I prepared a small aperitif.

- You shouldn't have.

A drop of wine...

For a toast.

Have a seat.

Sorry.

Cheers.

Correct me if I'm wrong...

...you and I were together for three

days, and we spent a night together.

Was that three years ago?

Actually wasn't even a night

it was an evening.

An hour.

One hour three years ago...

...cost me 300,000 text messages

...notes, letters...

Do you remember those phone calls

with all that sighing and crying?

Not to mention the flowers!

You buried me under like

the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

I changed numbers twice

but you always tracked me down.

Now you're in Rome

and say I told you to come.

You stalk me,

leave poetry on my car...

...and invite me to dinner.

What the f*** do you want from me?

Tell me, what the f*** do you want?

I have a private life, you know?

Why don't I answer your texts

your e-mails, and the rest?

Either I have to slap you

or you apologize.

Apologize, pack up and get back

to where you f***in' came from.

You're crazy, you're sick.

Stop bustin' my balls.

Forgive me,

but you're doing it all wrong.

You're too insistent,

it's like you were asking...

- Stop, Lea. - Why?

I wanted to tell him a few things...

I wanted to compliment him

on the table, the food, the wine.

- It's all wonderful.

- Good evening.

- Fruitcake!

- Yusuf!

Sorry.

I understand it's a bad moment

but we have to talk.

My name's Filippo Apollonio.

Elena Masci, Lea Marni,

Beatrice Marni. They're cousins.

- Actually our parents are cousins.

- We're almost not related.

- And then there's Yusuf Antep.

- My husband.

- And little Ivan.

- You know it's not allowed.

Ambrogio Dardini, a pleasure.

Well, that's all of us...

no, one's missing.

Here he is, Luca Veroli.

Now this gentleman will help us

get out of here, right?

- We'll never make it.

- Elena!

What's the plan?

- Did you talk to Countess Casanova?

- So, did Livia send you?

Livia Morosini.

Tell me, is Livia safe?

Talk, don't be afraid.

Don't worry, we won't betray you.

- Never!

- We're used to these things.

And besides, for us you don't exist.

Well?

- Good night.

- Good night.

I'm sorry,

I didn't mean to wake you.

I was just watching you sleep.

I thought you wouldn't wake up.

You know, when you sleep

you have a special glow?

If I were a painter,

I'd do your portrait...

...but unfortunately, I only write.

Stay like that, don't wake up.

While you sleep, you're my secret.

In waking you will be real

and be everyone's.

Can you confirm

that the house is occupied?

- Yes, it's occupied.

- Of course it's not!

Old houses are solid,

but they do make strange noises.

Thet creak.

And anyway,

I've never seen a soul in there.

If my client has proof

the house is occupied...

...you must consider

canceling the contract...

...and refunding the deposit.

- That's going overboard.

No, we haven't been clear.

I've never returned the deposit

to any of the previous tenants.

They hear noises, they leave,

they don't respect the contract...

...and I should return their deposits,

oh, come on!

- May I say something?

- Of course.

Ma'am, there's actually

been a big misunderstanding.

I've already spoken with them...

...and they told me they're leaving.

- Well, it's all settled.

Pardon me, what does that mean?

- You won't be leaving the house?

- I'm just fine in your house.

- You are?

- I am.

You text me every minute,

drag me all this way...

...and you won't even leave the house?

What manners!

I'm warning you, if you're even just

half a day late with your rent...
