Naples in Veils Page #5

---

- No, I only saw him once.

Sorry, I really have to go.

Semola!

You coming?

My condolences, my dear.

All these sorrows in such a short time.

Poor Pasquale...

Who would have imagined?

I can't bear to think about it.

He died in your arms, better this way.

He wasn't alone.

It happened so suddenly.

Adriana even thought someone

might have poisoned him.

And why?

- Who would have wanted to hurt him'?

- No one.

You'll get over it,

time heals all wounds.

Be strong.

Adele, how awful.

I'm sorry, dear Adele.

Poor Pasquale, like that, so suddenly.

Pasquale was right.

It's a miracle you're still on your feet.

You're a liar,

you're bad.

You're a b*tch.

Murderer!

You only want to kill, kill, kill...

You don't love your kids.

She's not a shadow, admit it! Admit it!

Have the guts to say it!

Yes, I love her, all right?

I've always loved her, you know why?

She notices that I exist,

she knows how to listen.

Since when have you had anything to say?

If I haven't got anything to say,

then we should break up.

Just try it and I'll do something crazy.

Domenico, I'll do something crazy.

Domenico!

Adriana...

darling, don't stay here.

Go to your room.

Go to your room!

- Domenico!

- Go!

Domenico, don't leave me!

I'm capable of doing anything.

- Stop it!

- She'll leave you, she'll lie to you.

- You're insane!

- I'll never leave you.

You need me, I'll stay with you forever.

I told you!

It was the faucet in the bathroom.

- Would you make me a coffee?

- Sure.

Adriana, tell him to go.

Please.

Adriana, tell him to go, please.

There's milk in the fridge,

could you get it, please?

Adriana, tell him to go.

Please, stay with me.

I love you more than anything.

Please, look at me.

Have you got any trash bags?

The big ones.

Yes, they're there.

Please, stay with me.

Adriana, look at me.

Don't get up.

Adriana, don't get up, don't go to him.

Don't go to him.

Adriana, I love you.

He'll cheat on you,

I'll never leave you.

Please... Adriana, please.

I'll call you later.

Adriana!

Adriana!

Giovanni, why are you shouting?

I'm here, I can hear you.

Are you ready yet?

I'm not coming with you.

I'll take him to the pool,

I'll call you when I'm done.

See you later.

Bye, Giovanni.

This is what art represents above all.

Art is also the veil of Christ.

At last!

They've already paid homage to Pasquale.

In the middle of a move

it's already a miracle.

Anyway, I'll stay ten minutes

and then I'll leave.

Art is an abuse of truth

and we are its accomplices.

And this is why when you acknowledge

us with such an honor,

you make us very happy

and you give us great pleasure.

Thank you.

Have you ever gone down there?

Never.

Look who's here.

Liliana?

Liliana?

Adriana!

- Such a pleasure. How are you?

- I'm very well.

I'd like you to meet my Aunt Adele.

Liliana is the doctor who worked with me,

and Catena, a friend of mine.

It's been ages! You look well.

Yes, I am well.

Have you heard the news?

I've been promoted.

You've no idea how much we miss you.

I didn't know you knew

the award winners.

Yes, of course, but we didn't

know each other very well.

It was a pleasure

to listen to them today, wasn't it?

How are you?

It's been so long

since we've seen each other.

Anyway, thank you so much

for all the kind things

you said about Pasquale.

Of course.

Is it true the prince had the sculptor

blinded so he couldn't make copies?

Always with this nonsense, Catena!

Legend, it's never been proved.

When it's said but there's no proof,

it remains a legend.

Good night.

Pardon me.

I have something to give you,

that young man dropped it.

What young man?

The one who came in with you.

With me?

Yes, that young man

with a backpack on his shoulder.

But I came in by myself.

It fell out of his pocket,

a few minutes ago, when he left.

I didn't make it in time to stop him.

Lucky it didn't break,

it's very beautiful.

Thank you.
