- Last time you came? | - Almost a year ago.

- Yes, last summer. | It was June.

- The shelf that was here? | - The bookshelf that was there?

What happened to it?

I'll tell you later, | go put your stuff in yourroom.

Which?

The one where you slept | when you were pissed off.

Okay.

Watch out for drafts.

- Sh! | I said nothing wrong.

What, when he was pissed off?

When we fought he'd go | sleep in the other room.

It seemed so childish. | - Why?

Not childish,...

...but like a film, he'd grab | his pillow and go to the otherroom.

I'd laugh, the more I laughed | the angrierhe got.

Too bad we don't hang out | like we used to.

Oh well.

No, not at all.

- Nothing. | I hearyou.

He's involved, I'm involved.

- Why didn't he come? | - Alberto?

He works in Milan!

He'll be back Monday night.

But I'm fine, totally happy.

He's a guy that...

He's really...

He's cute, really sweet.

He's delicate.

- Alberto? | - Alberto.

He's very sweet, thoughtful,...

...considerate, | he always surprises me.

Sweetie, he surprises her!

Where's the bookshelf?

Don't bother, Edoardo.

It only works nearthe window | in the living room.

- You got a cell too? | - Are you kidding?

No, I noticed | everyone put them there.

I'm waiting for an important call. | - Coppola?

Said he'd call in the aftemoon.

Francis Ford | doesn't function before lunch,...

...but you'll see, he'll call.

I had an important audition last week | forthe leading role,...

...I'm waiting for a call | from my agent...

How are you?

I've been waking up with a rash | on my legs, then it goes go away.

I took an allergy test, | but no results.

Guess I'm allergic to the moming.

Let's go downstairs.

- Should I put on a CD? | - Yeah. I'll roll a joint.

- Are the doors closed? | - Yes, Carola! Which CD?

I wouldn't want Filippo to run away.

I'll help.

- He's good, right? | - He didn't do a thing!

He's good anyway.

- Put on something fast. | - No, something relaxing.

- Nina Simone? | - She depresses me, memories.

- Put on whatever you want! | - Gianmaria will decide.

- This. | - Who?

It's a group, you don't know them.

How do you know?

- The Bathers, know them? | - Of course!

He doesn't know them!

I swear, the song that goes...

Make me a filter.

Do you have a paper?.

- Just old ones. | It's for Filippo anyway.

Forhis needs, poop, pee...

- No, Filippo reads! | - And sings too.

He's correcting Claudia's thesis.

It's forhim to pee on. | - Let him out.

Filippo doesn't go out!

He's a dog, dogs go out!

There's lots ofland, | he can have some fun.

He's always closed inside.

Ifhe gets lost in the dark, | you'll go find him!

You're right,...

...I'm cold in here, nevermind | outside searching forthe dog.

Are you cold? | I'll get anotherheater.

It's mine!

I was getting worried. | - Lowerit.

Then we'll all play the "shut off | our cell phone" game, okay?

- No, you're waiting for Coppola. | - Right.

Yes.

Tomorrow afterlunch, | I'll ask Claudia.

- Afriend is coming | to pick up her cell. - Okay.

Directions? Claudia will tell you.

Put this...

There's a plug behind the sofa. | Hello!

Hello! Hi!

Hi!

- Listen... | - Where's the joint?

- Claudia's got it. | - What's she doing?

She's talking to that cell phone | chick, what a pain!

- Who? | - Exactly, who is she?

You took her phone,...

...you make her drive 100 km | and it bugs you?

It's not like I stole it, | she forgot it!

You've got the cell phone disease!

I gave her directions.

She's coming tomorrow | with a friend.

- Oan I raise the volume? | - Let's hear these Beatles.

I hand in the first chapters | of my thesis...

...and my professor says | I wrote a load of crap.

Great!

At this rate, I'll never graduate!

I think it's possible. | - But it's too complicated!

Sure, just taking off...

You need money, time.

We don't have to stage a show | in fifteen minutes,...

...but we need to know | if we want to do it.

- We'll need a director, right? | I'll find you plenty!

The truth is | you don't want to do it.

You're already pissed, | imagine if we actually do it.

They ask you for autographs | and it's goodbye theater.

- Only films! | I wish!

Anyway, you didn't think that | three months ago.

- What does "anyway" mean? | - Nothing.

No, you're talking about me.

Seems the ego inflates | all too easily.

- You're bugged because I work? | - That's not it.

You're bugged | 'cause I work more than you.

- Oalm down. | - No!

You can afford to get the urge | to set up a 1970's troupe.

What?

Since I can't afford that | 'cause urges don't pay...

What does "afford" mean?

Don't make me say | what you already know.

If I had your last name, | I'd play theater too,...

...and if I failed I could say | I was kidding.

Sorry they're giving me work!

Instead ofbeing happy, | you throw this at me?

You misunderstood.

Let's pretend | I misunderstood.

I hate when people fight!

I neverknow what to do | in these cases.

It's better for things to surface | orthey'll linger.

They'll straighten things out | and it'll be fine.

Don't worry, people fight!

But now I'll have to calm Edoardo.

When it comes to his father...

You know how he is.

- That's his problem. | - Unfortunately, it becomes mine too.

You'll sleep with him tonight?

But this is part of the game.

If you get involved with a person, | you have to help...

Or you send each other to hell, | like Luca and I did.

Or you remain alone.

Or...

Or?.

You buy a dog.

Dinner's on!

Gianmaria, grab the trivet.

Where is it?

- The pot holders! | - The dishes!

- Not too much forme. | - Eat up!

- This is all we have. | - How much, Edoardo?

Is there bread? | - Bread with pasta?

- He eats bread with bread. | It's a habit!

- There's nothing for you! | - Filippo, come here!

Don't bug uncle Andrea, | you've your own food.

- How much, Carola? | I've got my own tidbits.

- Here you are. | - Thank you.

Lovely!

Afork?

- Buon appetito! | - You bet!

- The cream is good, huh? | - Great!

I always like to add some in.

- Odd that you're not Taurus. | - What?

- Tauruses adore cream. | - What are you saying?

Are you Sagittarius?

- Do you like mozzarella? | - More or less.

No, you really like it.

Ooffee!

Oareful, it's very hot!

Ooffee!

- You make it next time. | I make bad coffee.

I'll teach you.

I have to tell you something.

Unfortunately, | good things come to an end,...

...and quickly.

Sometimes | it makes you feel like dying.

You're sad when something good | gets taken away.

We had to sell it all, | the house, everything.

Please don't ask me anything,...

...please.

So 27 years of wonderful things | and memories...

You know how I am.

It was yourhouse in a way too.

I wanted to have you here | for these days.

Strange I haven't cried yet.

- You're not tired? | I'm hungry.

I'll get a snack, want anything?

- Good question. | - Too vague?

I thought I saw:

...friendly cocoa cookies,...

...wild potato chips, | but at this time of night...
