Yeah, I just wanted a holiday.

We've been over this.

MUFFLED VOICE ON THE PHONE

Alex, you know, I was just phoning to have a nice talk with you, and...

- Oh, my God, I just saw a shooting star.

- Where?

- Where? Just up there.

Bollocks, I was looking there, I didn't see a shooting star!

- Well, you're not looking hard enough, clearly. I definitely saw one.

- I want to see a shooting star.

- Did you wish for something?

- Of course.

- Of course.

But you know, in Italy, we have this...some saying,

when you see a shooting star, you say, "stella, bella stella, desidero che."

Ah! What's that, what's it?

Which means, "Star, beautiful star, I wish for..."

- Whatever you wish for.

- Yeah.

- It's Stella...

- Stella.

- ..Bella stella...

- Bella stella.

- ..Desidero che...

- Desidero che.

And wish for... And you just wish for whatever...

OK, what is it? Stella...

Bella, Stella...

- Desidero che.

- Desidero che.

- Exactly.

- And then I make my wish, so silencio for my wish.

- OK.

OK, that's it. I made my wish.

What do they call you, Giovanna? Do they call you...Giovanna,

- or do you have, like, a nickname for short?

- G.

- G.

- It's either G or Gio.

What?! I was completely myself.

That's true. All that romancey-shmancy,

"Oh, look at that star, look at this star."

Mate, I saw a shooting star. What could I say?

Listen, man. I wasn't buying it, she wasn't buying it.

There was nothing to buy!

- What're you talking about?

- Not smoking, enough said.

You didn't offer me a cigarette.

Well, did you?

- Don't be an a**hole.

- What is this?

It's noth...

- You really?

- I... she's great.

Yeah. She is GREAT. F***ing great.

It's just, you know...

That stupid grin on your face ever since you met her.

THAT grin, exactly.

What grin?

Come on, what am I going to do?

You're off on your ownsome in a couple of days.

So when you leave I need a little company.

I do, I do! It'll be great.

She'll come over, we'll go swimming,

put a little sun cream on her back...

I know you'll do whatever you want any way.

- That's right, I certainly will.

- That's the problem with you.

What? The problem with me? Come on, man.

Hi, Al.

I'm sorry too.

You know, Al, I think in a way, I'm doing the same thing here.

In a way.

Course I'm coming back.

SHE SIGHS:

It's just that it's just been so nice

just to lose myself in this big group of people.

It's like a big family. Well, it IS a family.

It's a big extended family, and I don't know, I've just been able to sort of...

go with the flow and not think about anything.

MUFFLED VOICE ON PHONE

Family isn't just two people on their own.

Well, I mean, that's just not my understanding of it.

Did you hear me? I said it's not my understanding of it.

- THUNDER

- Certainly a fine wine.

Does the name Vino Nobile di Montepulciano mean anything to you?

Vino certainly does.

Two bottles of it, rather expensive bottles, disappeared,

drunk by a person or persons.

- By you, I should think.

- No, I left it in the usual place in the kitchen,

on the shelf where I always leave the good stuff, and they've gone.

With all the others.

Hmm? No, I keep those good ones that I was intending for us to...

Don't smirk at me, you sneering little bastard. Did you drink them?!

No.

You didn't drink them? They just disappeared, did they?

So you're a liar as well as everything else.

- F***ing arse.

- You just said...

- It doesn't matter.

THUNDER:

CICADAS CHIRRUP:

- VERENA:

- We just used to sleep with anybody.

You know, it was just like...

- How many times?

- How many times?

- How many people?

- How many people before you first got married?

- Oh, gosh.

- Go on.

- Hit me with double figures.

- Who's counting? It's definitely double figures.

Definitely double figures?

I have a very fond memory of one on a beach

in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

- We just had sex and then he went on down the beach.

- Did you know he was a vet before you started?

Oh, yeah, because he had these incredible tattoos which I inquired about.

- These people are wild!

- I know, but I was 18 on a beach.

- You don't know what he could've done.

I didn't think about the consequences, this is what I mean.

Yeah, but I wouldn't sleep with a Vietnam vet!

He was pretty gorgeous. He was strong.

- VERONA:

- Badge's ignoring me at the moment. I don't know what I've done.

I asked her if she wanted to come out shopping, she loves shopping.

Didn't even answer me.

Jack is behaving really strangely.

I just wonder if he's angry with me or Charlie or...

- You'd tell me if something was going on, wouldn't you?

- Of course.

Normally they tell me everything.

It's not like them to keep things from me.

They seem to be so much more chatty with you.

Anna, if something has happened, I need to know.

Look... I...

I want to talk about it with you,

but please can you assure me it's not going to go any further?

- I've made a promise...

- No, I can't.

- I've got to tell Charlie.

- I've made a promise.

- Oh, f*** your promise.

These are my kids.

Were you in the car?

- Yeah.

- So you weren't going to tell me?

- We have got that car on loan from Elisabetta and Jonathan.

- I know!

It was given to us in good faith.

How well aware are you of it? Obviously not THAT aware.

- It's an old banger, V...

- Don't! I don't care whether you think it's an old banger or it's a new car,

that is NOT the point. The principle is that we borrowed that car in good faith!

I know. I know.

- I don't get it...

- V, I made a promise.

VOICES ARGUING:

- JACK:

- I'm sorry. It was an accident. We didn't mean...

- VERONA:

- You lied to Elisabetta as well!

You told her the car had a fuel leak or something, didn't you? Ugh!

I thought it was... I... We didn't want to get YOU in trouble by telling Elisabetta.

- Oh(!)

- We thought it would be better...

- You were thinking of us, were you, Jack?

- No, but seriously!

- CHARLIE:

- You just calm down.

- Seriously, seriously.

- You are responsible for yourselves!

You're also responsible for Archie.

Did that enter your head at any point?

Or were you so pissed that you couldn't even think?

We don't say no to you and you just take advantage

and that's what's REALLY upset me.

- I trust you and I trust Badge!

- V, V, V, come on.

- I trust you both and you just take advantage!

- See what you've done?

You've just ruined this whole thing.

How is this reflected just on me, like it was just me who was driving?

- It's not just you!

- I wasn't even doing anything!

- Oh, Jack, come on.
