Saturn in Opposition Page #3

- Sure, with Neval always yacking!

- I'll put you back in shape.

- I don't use that stuff.

- I've even got legal stuff.

- I don't want anything.

Not this one...

What's this pill?

I wish I was like you.

- Are you Paolo?

- Yes.

My wife told me about you.

Nice to meet you...

I'm Roberto, Neval's husband.

Hello, do I give this to you?

- What kind of pastry is it?

- A chocolate cake.

Too bad! I love fruit cake.

I can't come with you next weekend.

Lorenzo saw us. I was

about to tell Davide...

But I think he knows.

I can't lie anymore.

It has to stop here, it's best.

It has to stop here

because you can't lie anymore?

- Are you falling in love with me?

- No... yes...

I don't know. I can't

see you anymore, Laura.

Are you afraid?

It's my fault,

I'm not strong enough.

His cell is off,

how long can it take him?

He'll never find champagne

around here at night.

He's been acting so strange lately.

I told him about the book,

sorry. It really upset him.

Who knows, maybe... He's jealous.

- Of what?

- Of us.

Still, you gotta be kidding!

- How do I look?

- Out of it.

- Is it that obvious?

- What's she wearing?

- Is that mine or Davide's sweater?

- I'm wearing your sweater.

- No, it's Lorenzo's.

- Let's eat, I'm hungry.

Let's wait for Antonio.

Forget about Antonio.

Allright then.

You should have been a chef,

not a writer.

- I'll take that as a compliment.

- It is!

- I'll go change.

- Yeah, you stink!

- Not going to pick out his underwear?

- I already did.

To the guest of honor!

I must remember

to change the light in this room.

Guys!

It took me forever

to find champagne.

I'll try to massage him today,

after Davide comes out.

But Davide's never left the room.

- When are they going to operate?

- Nobody mentions it anymore.

At two o'clock

I'll see the doctor on duty.

You realize they're not

telling us everything?

Paolo wants one of his doctor

friends to do some asking.

- Between doctors.

- What's that little fag know?

Still here!

You can't stay

after visiting hours.

We'll be quiet, we won't move.

Wait outside, please.

- We'll be serving lunch soon.

- But he doesn't eat.

- Don't make me kick you out.

- What's your sign?

I'm serious.

Give me your birth-date and time

of birth, I'll do your horoscope.

It's the only thing she's good at.

- When will they let us in?

- In ten minutes.

Yesterday I said: "If you understand

me, move your lips" and he moved them.

- The lower lip?

- Yes.

- It's a reflex movement.

- No, he understood.

He doesn't understand.

Then why did the nurse

tell us to talk to him?

Because you never know.

His eyes were wide open last night.

- He never closed them.

- Hi.

Did your doctor friend

talk to the doctor here?

- Yes.

- And?

A subarachnoid hemorrhage

at the base of the neck...

It has invaded both lobes.

Even with a miracle, he'd

be paralyzed from the neck down.

But there'll be no miracle.

- How long can he survive?

- He told me to hope he dies.

I just can't leave him.

I'm in love.

I know, for a long time.

Not so long.

From the first

moment you saw her.

Yes, right away.

I bet you don't remember where.

Of course I remember.

In a cafe.

No, dummy! The first time we met

it was in the university auditorium.

This time it was

in a cafe near the bank.

- This time?

- Yes.

I have a thing going

with another woman.

- What kind of "thing"?

- I don't know.

- You have a relationship?

- Maybe.

Since when?

A few months.

I'd dumped her,

but I saw her again today.

- What a way to tell me!

- Is there a better way?

What timing, with

Lorenzo in that condition.

I don't want to know anything,

don't say another word.

I'll pretend you didn't say anything.

- Angelica?

- Shut up, nothing's happened.

Did you hear me?

I'm having sex with another woman!

Lower your voice,

you'll wake up the kids.

- What are they saying?

- Shut up!

No questions?

Don't you want to know who she is?

No.

You know what? Maybe you just want

to feel young with a young girl.

She's not a young girl,

she has two kids, one's 16.

Great! Then it's a

lot more complicated.

- What are you doing?

- I'm making the bed.

We won't be going back to sleep.

Stop moving your hand,

you won't die!

Help me, I don't

know what to do.

Want my congratulations?

Do you want my approval,

want me to make a scene?

Stop with that hand!

Want me to kick you out?

Okay then, get out!

- I don't want to leave.

- Alright, then I will.

Why does one of us have to leave?

Okay then, let's all live

together, bring her here.

Have you picked her room?

As of today we're

part of a majority.

- What's that?

- Now our parents are separated.

So, you'll be assigned to Dad

in another house...

...with another mother and other kids

and treated like a step-brother.

- You'll sleep in the cellar.

- Mommy!

- What is it?

- Will I have to sleep in a cellar?

- What did you say?

- Why are you fighting?

Haven't you heard

us argue before?

Be a good boy, we'll stop

now. Go to bed. Get up there!

So... I'm leaving.

- What are you doing here?

- Just passing through.

Won't you run after him?

On TV they always return if you do.

What if I run after him?

Don't you move.

A real mess, eh?

I saw Angelica this morning

at the hospital.

When are you going in there

to see Lorenzo?

- I can't.

- Then stay home.

I can't.

But you can come and go

from the bathroom.

She'll probably

ask for her horoscope!

Roberta would like to talk to you

about your horoscope.

You a**hole...

- I'd promised you.

- What's it like?

A sort of... Do you

believe in reincarnation?

We all have many lives,

some go better than others.

If you have a shitty life,

maybe the next one will be wonderful.

- I have a lousy horoscope.

- In fact...

I knew that, thank you anyway.

I didn't mean to...

She hates me and she'll

hate me in her next life.

- You could have lied, you're a liar.

- I never lie about horoscopes.

They're here. The

nurse said they're coming up.

- I'm Angelica, I called you.

- Thank you.

This is Davide.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- We saw you on TV.

- This is my wife.

Lorenzo is stable, they didn't

mention any operation for now.

Thank you, but I've already spoken

with the doctor.

- You can go in, one at a time.

- You go, I'll wait here.

- They're Lorenzo's friends.

- Are they?

- Hi.

- Hi.

What an awful moment to meet.

I'm Minnie.

- Like Minnie Mouse.

- It's a funny name...

But it's better than my real name,

Minerva. My father loved mythology.

He's Sergio, Roberta and I'm Neval.

- A foreigner?

- No, Turkish.

Ah, I see! Istanbul, how beautiful!

I was there two years ago.

- Do you work with Lorenzo?

- No, she's a translator.

Really, I'm an interpreter for

conferences, a simultaneous translator.

- I work with Lorenzo.

- She helps him out.

- What do you do?

- Nothing.

His mother left

him a small income.

I don't do anything either,

besides being a wife.

Since Vittorio sold the company, I
