Saturn in Opposition Page #2

I'll be 10 minutes late,

could you tell them?

Are you jealous now?

- Does Angelica know her, too?

- Mind your own f***in' business.

- It is my business.

- Knock it off and try to get here...

I've got a busy day.

It's none of my f***in'business,

maybe I was wrong.

And just when I needed him! Did I upset

him? Maybe he's just getting laid, so what?

Where's the harm?

What if Angelica finds out though?

If they break up?

Your daughter missed school,

today. Angelica told me.

- Did you call her?

- I was on my cell with her when I saw you.

- But I didn't say a thing.

- What was there to say?

I've known that woman for years,

she's almost a friend.

Angelica doesn't know

all my friends at work.

Do you know all

of Davide's friends?

- Yes.

- Even those at the publishing house?

Yes.

- I didn't kiss her on the mouth.

- On the lips.

You phoned me just to say this?

You call that normal?

No, maybe you're right.

Now tell me why you're here?

I came to ask you a favor.

I need 15,000 euros right away...

...but I can't take it

from the company account.

Take it from your own, it's there.

I have to grease three different

people, but I don't want Davide to know.

In fact I don't want

to be asked questions.

- I'll find a way.

- Thank you.

This money has to be back in a week.

Sure... Neval

has a great idea.

She wants us all to go

to Lipari in two weeks.

- Angelica's excited.

- She already knows?

Of course.

Leave a message if you like,

I might return your call,

... it all depends on my mood.

Neval, I've decided,

in two weeks we'll all go to Lipari.

I'll arrange things, as usual.

I've already told everyone,

so you and Roberto have to come.

- How was work?

- As usual, why?

- Me asking about you, is that odd?

- No.

You have to talk to Giulia about

school, it's becoming a problem.

- You're better at that.

- You should give her rules.

And I should be the one

who protects her when she disobeys.

- Why is it so hard for you?

- There's a reason why she disobeys.

Find it out, I don't want to be

my daughter's psychologist.

- What are you doing?

- Using a night cream.

Neval's pissed off with Lorenzo

and it's my fault.

He said the trip

was her idea, but he lied.

I didn't know, so I told Neval.

It's Lorenzo's fault, not yours.

Yes.

Why go so far away?

How about our usual place?

Maybe I have to go away...

...for a training course.

- Over the weekend?

The bank pays me double.

Lorenzo's acting odd, isn't he?

Maybe he and Paolo...

I don't even know who Paolo is.

Lorenzo wanted Davide to read

his short story, no matter what.

You know Lorenzo,

he'd help even a stranger.

Maybe he's in love with someone

else or maybe he wants Davide...

...to fall in love with Paolo.

- You make life so complicated!

It happens, sometimes a person

wants to be cheated on...

...and puts the other

in a position to do so.

- Will you stop?

- Why?

Nothing.

What's wrong?

Davide...

Is it Angelica?

Is it your work?

Change jobs, go on!

You still have time.

Look, no one ordered Angelica

to write that book.

Lorenzo too, started his job just to earn

some extra money, now he loves his work.

What book?

I gave her the idea to write

on how to quit smoking...

...didn't she tell you?

- She will.

Sure!

After you call her.

- I'm having an affair.

- What?

Wait!

- Eat mine, too.

- Throw it out if you want!

- No, they'll notice.

- I can't eat twice.

You can eat much

more than that.

- I'll tell Daddy.

- If you don't eat...

...you'll pay for it!

You know what that means, right?

This is unfair!

- Shut up!

- Signor Antonio! Signor Antonio!

- Yes, Rosy.

- The children are eating.

- Will you wait for your wife?

- Yes, Angelica will get home late.

- You can go, thank you.

- Will you watch the kids?

- Yes.

- Are you sure?

Good night.

Hurry up and eat!

I know, you don't want

to talk about it, are you outside?

No, it's the TV.

Have you talked to Lorenzo?

No, why?

Changing the subject?

I made it all up.

- You're not having an affair?

- No.

- Then why did you say so?

- I don't know.

I was pissed off because I didn't know about

Angelica's book, you two have your secrets.

You and I were friends

before I met Angelica.

Who you meet first doesn't matter.

- Anyway, I'm here for you.

- I know, forgive me.

I'm a pain in the ass sometimes.

- A lot.

- Goodbye.

- Was that Antonio?

- Yes, why?

- He was acting weird yesterday.

- Were you at the bank?

I bumped into him on the street.

- So?

- So, what?

Your building...

Did you get it?

I'll know tomorrow,

but things are looking good.

- How is it?

- I'm not done, no judgement yet.

A sneak preview!

Your friend's in love with

me. He copies me.

- But he writes well.

- He's in love because he copies you?

He gets his style from me,

but he's got his own spirit.

- What's it about?

- Love.

About how we always fall in love

with the wrong person.

- There are exceptions, right?

- Until proven differently.

- Isn't that a beautiful building?

- Yeah.

What's so funny?

You think a building's beautiful

only when it's covered.

I do, if I did the covering!

Know how many of us

were competing for this spot?

Whoever won it,

got eight other spots too.

- It cost me a lot.

- In bribes.

Roberta, no bribes,

what are you saying?

- You could be more supportive.

- I didn't say a word!

Didn't you!

Let's go to that bookshop, your

book's probably not on sale...

- But if it's there, we'll laugh!

- I love you. I love you.

Let's go.

- Ok.

- Let's go.

And I'm the drug addict!

Everything has to

be perfect today.

I got what I wanted, Paolo will get

Davide's approval, he promised me.

And Antonio came without his usual excuses,

so maybe I really saw things wrong.

Today I want us all to be

relaxed and happy.

F*** off Lorenzo,

you're morbid and suffocating.

You want to see us cooped

up in a cage and feed us birdseed.

I just proposed a trip.

Why go tell everyone it was my idea?

We haven't done anything

together for a long time.

It's not our fault if you

and thatjunkie joined us later...

...all of us have been friends for

ages. You can't even imagine...

...all the things we've done together.

- Don't come if you don't want to.

Can't you step off the

stage just once?

Lorenzo! Lorenzo

wait a minute. Listen to me.

She'll come anyway.

Are you mad?

I'll get over it.

Neval had her usual outburst,

I think Lorenzo didn't take it well.

Why did you have to talk,

you're not even coming to Lipari.

- Why not?

- He has a training course.

I said "maybe",

I could change my mind.

Not even a bottle of champagne?

Lorenzo doesn't like it

and it's his party.

- Coming in all wet?

- I have to dry off.

What about your clothes?

I'll hang them in the bathroom!

It's not a "nude party".

Where are you going?

- To get some champagne.

- God bless you!

Pato, I made a bit of a mess,

but I'll clean it up.

What's the matter?

Pato, what's wrong?

- A little headache.
