Perfect Strangers Page #8

Synopsis: On a warm summer evening, a loving couple, Rocco, a plastic surgeon and Eva, a therapist is expecting his long-lasting friends to share a pleasant evening over dinner. Everything is in order: the first course is ready, the roast is in the oven and the table is set. Without a doubt, this is going to be a gathering of true friends and the waiting comes to an end when the first couple arrives. The bell rings and it is Lele and Carlotta, followed subsequently by Cosimo and Bianca; the only one missing is Peppe, their friend who is still single. Before long, the group is complete and without any delay, they begin the feast. Surely, this is a nice but somewhat usual dinner, when suddenly someone makes a proposition: to place their mobile phones on the table and like a Russian roulette, whatever arrives (texts, WhatsApp messages, calls) they would share it with the others. Clearly, this uncommon truth or dare game has no point among friends who share everything with each other, nevertheless,

and a nice hard G.

Did I say it right ?

Did I say it right, or not ?

- Not such a good idea, was it ?

- I'd say not.

- Why didn't you tell us before ?

- Why didn't I tell you before ?

Because I didn't know before.

- Then when I realized...

- I'll tell you why he didn't tell us.

Because I was a fag for two hours,

and that was long enough.

We're all open-minded here, right ?

We all like to have a fag for a friend.

And now we've got one too.

- And it seems we took it very well.

- F*** off !

There, you see ?

You think they didn't renew

my contract because I'd put weight on ?

- Was it because you're gay ?

- Rocco, for God's sake.

Not gay ! It doesn't befit you.

Carry on saying "fag" !

It comes more naturally.

Peppe, why don't you sue

the school ?

Sue them ?

I can't even tell you I'm gay...

never mind a court of people,

a judge, the lawyers...

my relatives...

I liked this game, it was a bit like

the story ofthe serial killer,

I wanted to be unmasked too.

But not like this though.

At least you can introduce us

to Lucio now.

I really don't think so, Rocco.

Because tonight...

you're the ones

who came out, not me.

No...

I won't introduce you.

Not because

I'm scared ofyour wisecracks,

I've heard enough of those.

But because I know he'd be hurt

at the first weird glance.

And I don't want him to be hurt,

I want to protect him.

Because ifyou love someone,

you protect them, from everything.

From this...

and all this.

Bianca. Come on, open this door.

That's enough, open this door.

She's locked herself in.

Bianca !

Open the door !

- Get her out of there !

- How ?

- Break it down !

- Let's try.

- Break the door down.

- Bianca !

- Open this door !

- Get out of the way !

Your mother called.

I told her you're going to be a father.

She was very happy.

She congratulated me.

You're right not to introduce

Lucio to them. Keep him to yourself.

Go on.

Go, go on !

Look how beautiful it is !

It's full again.

It's amazing !

That's enough !

You're always at it !

- Hurry up, darling, it's cold.

- I'm on my way.

Bye, Peppe.

- Bye, Lele.

- I'll call you.

Are we on for soccer tomorrow ?

- I haven't heard from anyone.

- It's probably been called off.

- Call me if there's a game.

- Of course.

- Come on !

- I'm coming.

Peppe,

next time we want to meet Lucilla.

Okay, as soon as she's feeling better.

Bye, good night.

- Why didn't you want to play the game ?

- I didn't like the idea.

No, you insisted on not playing.

Got something to hide ?

No.

Why then ?

Because we're breakable... all of us,

some more than others.

You're right, this has become our

black box, it's got everything inside.

Perhaps too much.

And it's wrong

to play around with it.

But I have nothing to hide.

You can do whatever

you want with it.

You can take a look.

There's no passcode.

Nice earrings, are they new ?

Yes.

Marika:
Call me, it's urgent !

Eva:
I wanted you so bad tonight...

- Who are you texting ?

- Eva and Rocco.

- To thank them for tonight.

- Good.

- We had a good time, right ?

- Yes.

"That makes two of us"

- It's Marika, what a pain !

- For a shift change, don't answer it.

I'm not going to.

Listen... no more biodynamic wine.

I bought six bottles of it.

Figures !
