- Or Gentilini cookies. | - A sure shot!

What do you want?

I think I like someone.

I want a monologue about him! | I think!

Let down your guard, | finally some good news!

Who is he, what's he do?

He's Filippo's vet, | his name is Filippo.

33, not handsome but we like him. | And I don't know.

You have to know!

Okay.

This is what happened.

Filippo, dog, had otitis.

I took him there, | he prescribed some drops.

We get home and Filippo | won't let me put the drops in.

- So? | I had to call him again.

And he came over.

He closed early and traversed Rome | to come over.

- Nice. | - Wait, he wouldn't let me pay him!

I invited him to dinner.

Good!

He stayed until 2,...

...we talked all night, amazing.

- When did this happen? | - Thursday.

Have you spoken since?

He called to ask my weekend plans, | but I was coming here.

- Call him! | - Now? It's 2!

Then call him tomorrow!

Okay.

I thought you'd be sleeping.

Did anyone call, | are there any messages?

They'll call. | What'd you do?

- Hungry! | It happens.

How's it going with...

I never remember her name. | - Elisa?

- Your girlfriend. | - Elisa.

Good.

We argue. | I was on the phone with her.

Was she mad | because you came here?

No, not at all.

Is she pretty? | - You never saw her?.

- No, when would I have? | - She's pretty, Polanski-esque.

Pretty, blonde.

And?

That's it.

So you're only with her | because she's Polanski-esque?

No, because she's pretty, | smart, isn't an actress,...

...and when we went out | she didn't ask about my father.

What?

Sometimes I feel like I've settled.

No, relaxed.

I feel I'm not well | and I'm not happy,...

...then I think it over | and, all in all, things are fine.

What would you call this?

- Sad. | - Sad.

You'd say "sad"?

Then I'm a bit sad.

Let's hug.

Let's both cry, | and get all emotional.

You never told me why you left me.

I did tell you.

Then maybe I didn't understand.

- What time is it? | - Maybe I'm a fag?

Already 3!

Forreal, if I were homosexual?

You?

You, homosexual?

I've thought about it lately, | seems we all are a bit.

With this hormone deal, | we all have a female side.

Yeah, we're all fags!

Good night!

Latently, some more, some less.

Shut off the light!

- No, think about it! | - About what?

The fact that | you always have to touch, kiss.

- That's affection, got it? | - Gimme a cigarette.

But even these gestures | of affection...

...could latently...

Latently, you smoked joints | and drank,...

...now everyone seems like a fag.

I haven't had a woman | in a year and a half.

A year and a half.

And I could care less, actually.

Let's say I'm fine anyway,...

...I mean, if I think about it, | it bothers me.

But there must be a reason.

- You think you're... | I'm thinking about it.

- But do you like women? | I don't know.

What?

Yes,...

...but I don't know how to explain.

If you like pizza, you eat it.

Some people eat a different kind | every night...

...and some eat the same one | each night.

"Margherita" pizza, every time.

Occasionally, | you don't like the pizza,...

...it's too raw, too cooked...

Or you want pizza | but the pizzeria's closed.

For me, either it's closed...

...or I don't like the pizza, | I can't find one.

One what, a woman?

Maybe it's a transitional period,...

...maybe first you stop | thinking about women,...

...then you start | thinking about men.

Listen,...

...I'll help you, | we'll find you one.

Maybe a "Capricious" one.

You men!

Gianmaria!

The ashtray!

I'll put it back.

SATURDAY MORNING

Carola!

Carola!

Let's go to the cafe.

- What time is it? | - 11.

I'll wake everyone up.

Okay.

Breakfast at the cafe!

- You still feel like a fag? | - A bit less.

See, you slept on it.

So cold, the big chill!

- Edoardo? | I'll let him sleep.

You bet!

Open the window?

How do you feel?

Like someone who acted like an ass.

Is there anything I can do?

Come on! Come on!

It wasn't me!

I hope that wasn't my aunt's vase!

Was the blue vase valuable?

Why can't they all disappear | at the blink of an eye?

I'll go see | what's left of my house.

It's colder inside than outside.

Enough, are you sick?

It's so nice here,...

...we should come more often.

Some friends you are, really.

Good moming to you too!

You could've called me, | the cafe, breakfast...

We brought you some!

- You have something to do. | I know.

And I feel ready.

Filippo? Carola!

Fine.

Filippo's fine too.

I'll be here until tomorrow, | maybe even Monday,...

...we haven't decided yet.

How are you?

I have a tape in the car.

Sorry, I lost you for a sec.

Good!

Filippo and I were wondering | if you wanted to come by.

Filippo insisted.

Exactly!

You decide, I'll be here | for at least 40 more hours.

If you come, bring warm sweaters.

Maybe he'll come by later.

Ace.

Ace.

15-0.

That's it,...

...one of those cute, nice guys | who make you think:

..."Yeah, I'll put out".

I don't know.

- Why'd you f*** him? | I liked him, he made me laugh!

- Nice. | - What's that mean?

"I f***ed him because he's cute". | Atad superficial!

Right, and you...

You can sleep with a cute guy, | but if you're not enraptured,...

...it's fine all the same.

Let's not forget to buy bread, | we're out of it.

I told you there wasn't enough. | If you eat 4 buns each time...

I ate four, | maybe because I'm nervous.

- Why? | I had an important audition.

I was hoping to hear | something yesterday.

What audition?

That film in Morocco, | the leading role.

I'm petrified!

Everyone knew, | there were 300 people.

- You did it last week? | - 10 days ago.

- You did it too? | - Yes.

- Oh! | - Yes, but not...

I'm not convinced, | plus I have a TV gig soon.

What?

A disputed love-story, | two episodes.

A doctor who falls in love.

Well, you should give | your agent a call.

If they hear anything, | they'll call.

Okay...

- Who is it? | - The frigid chick.

- Who? | - The cell phone gal.

Edoardo, will you open it?

Okay!

Oheck the gate too!

It's you?

- Hi! | - Hi!

- How are you? | - Fine.

- You know Monica? | I've seen your face before.

Claudia!

May we come in?

- Hi! | - Hi!

Sorry, I was washing dishes.

I'm Francesca.

- You have a great house. | - Really!

I'm Monica. | - Nice to meet you!

- Sorry for barging in. | - No problem!

Everyone's in there.

Go in, I'll be right there.

- Thank you! | - This way.

- Hi! | - Hi!

- Hi! | - Hi!

- How's it going? | - Okay, and you? - Fine.

Sorry, I'm such a scatter brain!

Don't worry.

Sorry you had to come | all the way here, but I couldn't...

No problem!

I'll get your phone, | or we'll forget again.

- Gianmaria! | - What?

- What are you doing? | - Guess.

The frigid chick brought a "pizza" | that'll make you go nuts.

- Got it? | - Yes!

Hurry, orit'll get cold.

- Want some coffee? | - Sure.

Gianmaria makes a mean coffee.

- Where is he? | - Right here!

- Monica, want coffee? | - Sure, thanks.

- Hi, Gianmaria. | - Hi, Monica.

- The coffee man? | - The cell phone girl?
