Mediterranean Food Page #3
For how long?
I don't know. Some months,
until the contract expires.
Now I need to be selfish,
I need to think of myself.
Shut the door.
But...
- There's nobody, right?
- Right.
- I mean, your roommate left.
- I asked her to leave.
You asked her to leave
so that we could...
I have to serve breakfast at seven.
We have half an hour.
I'll add a dish.
One...
Two...
The day after, Frank bets
for the fish dishes on the menu.
He gets sea bass, turbot,
tuna fish and gilthead
added to the menu.
The sea climbs up to the mountain,
my mum steps forward in her carrier.
Take over, I'm going out
to talk to some clients.
Excuse me, can you call me a cab?
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
- What's going on?
- I'm pregnant.
What?
- No!
- No, what?
You can't do this to me.
"Me, me". You can only say "me".
- You're not keeping it.
- Is that a question? It's an order.
- You're very young.
- My son is younger.
For how long have you known?
Why didn't you tell me'?
- Because it's four months.
- Four?
Relax, the baby's not yours.
And seeing you now,
I'm really glad.
It's mine. Tell me the truth.
It's mine and Toni's,
and don't pretend you care, you don't!
What are you both doing here?
The dining room is full!
No.
That's it.
If you leave now, you'll never be
the best cook in the world.
Let's bet, Frank. Let's bet.
My mum goes back home.
Toni and her get married
and are very happy for five years.
Sofia.
But five years ?y by.
Sofia.
Toni, bring the car.
I can't feel my feet.
Thanks.
Are you gonna eat
all the hearts?
Don't come near me, I'll scream.
- I just want to talk.
- Help!
You'll make the baby cry.
Toni is about to come.
He'll hit you if I ask him to.
I might hit him, too.
- Really?
- Because of what he's done to you.
- What is it?
- Three children in five years. Enough?
The children we made together.
No, you won't kid me.
That's his plan, not yours.
How can you be satisfied
with a lousy restaurant and a hubby
who's turning you
into a baby machine?
I'm no baby machine!
Hold the baby.
Are you OK?
No, I'm not. I was before.
Sofia,
I've been everywhere
and seen a lot of people,
but you don't know
how good you are.
I look at you and see it.
Sofia, look at me.
- You can get very far.
- Get away from me, Frank.
You're unique. If you won't see that,
- My baby.
- You have a lot to learn.
You're not holding him properly,
his head is hanging.
There's a wonderful chef
in France, Andre.
He's open and willing to teach.
I talked to him and he'd love you
to go take a 6 month stage there.
France, I'm offering France.
Toni!
- I'll wait at the gas station.
- At one o'clock.
- You're on drugs. You're crazy.
The baby.
- The baby.
- At one.
Surprise!
Baby, you cutie!
Come, baby. Look,
it's 1.250 square meters.
Garage, guests house...
This is the first scooter
your dad had.
The garden is big and representative.
And a swimming pool.
A swimming pool!
Honey, how can we pay
for all this?
First things first.
Let's see the house, everybody in.
The sitting room
Air conditioning, central heating,
quality furniture.
an interior decorator. He was German.
Honey, honey...
How are we going to pay for this?
Well...
- Let's drink a toast!
- Yes, let's drink a toast!
Toni, come here,
I'm asking how we're going
to pay for this.
My dad is retiring.
We're selling the hair saloon.
I asked for a loan,
and I'll work evenings.
Come here.
Who's taking care of the children
while I work at the restaurant?
No, Sofia. The restaurant is over.
It's over for you.
Enough of that!
That's my second surprise.
Are you happy?
Mum, don't!
- It's only a little bit.
- Don't!
- He's only four, for Christ sake!
What's wrong?
Three children is a lot.
You've been working
since you were sixteen,
it's time to take a rest.
I sorted it out with your parents.
You should sort it out with me,
I got the business back on its feet.
Who's going to cook?
Gambinos is closing,
we'll get the cook.
Go play, son.
Toni,
that cook is bad, he's really bad.
Here you can cook
as much as you want to. It's huge!
Look at the garden.
The children can be
really happy, here.
Look at them, look at them.
If you give that cook my recipes,
I'll kill you.
I'll kill you!
What's wrong?
You're hungry again, right?
You're so beautiful!
- Let's see the bedrooms.
- Not now.
I'm tired, later.
- But you like it, don't you?
- I like it a lot.
Who wants to see the jacuzzi?
Come on, let's go!
- I thought you'd take a cab.
- No, I'll follow you.
- No, let's take mine. Do you like it?
- Very much.
Sofia, no.
If you take over, you take over.
- This is crazy.
- They're my children.
You know how hard it is
to be abandoned by your mother.
- What's this about?
- You can't behave with women
'cause your mum left,
that won't happen to my children.
No, no. No way. No.
You're dumping me
at a gas station again.
Fine.
Toni!
- Toni, honey!
- Be careful!
Honey, don't move!
- What are you doing here?
- Don't move, don't move!
Turn the scooter off
Come on, call an ambulance.
- I don't want an ambulance.
- Don't take the helmet off!
Where were you taking my children?
- Calm down.
- Shut up.
- Get off!
- Calm down.
- Don't let him take the helmet off.
- Calm down, it's OK.
He wanted to help you!
- I can see how he helps.
- We need to take you to he hospital.
I don't want a hospital,
I want my wife and children!
And some explanation!
I don't want to be a housewife.
Look at my dad.
He's been hiding all his life,
I don't want to hide.
Hell.
What?
Toni, Toni!
Take the children and go home.
Sofia, go home, now!
Toni, calm down, look at me,
look at me, Toni.
The ambulance is coming,
don't worry.
For the first time,
Frank does something for Sofia
without food involved.
I want to cook, it's not a job.
When I cook, things happen to me.
- What kind of things?
- Things that don't happen otherwise.
You can't leave at night,
like a thief,
take the children and leave
with this bastard.
And you can't lock her in a house.
I know you love her a lot,
but you don't know who she is.
- And you do?
- Toni!
- You do know who she is?
- I'm not hitting back.
We were happy, you sneaked in.
There are a lot of women, why mine?
Stop, people are staring, stop.
- You love her!
- He doesn't!
- You do love her!
- He doesn't love anybody. Tell him!
- I want her in my restaurant.
- What restaurant?
- The one I'm opening.
- Where?
It doesn't matter!
If you were a decent man,
it would be here, with her family.
This place is ugly and tasteless.
Your stitches are going to come off.
Are you OK?
Fine, fine.
The Gambinos is being transferred.
Gambinos?
They're not selling high
