[crunching continues]
- Son of a bitch.
- [Enea] Mati, what's going on?
Do we have that woodworm spray?
I need cellophane and a brush too.
[breathes deeply]
It's 4:00 a.m.
[sighs]
Okay, let's kill this son of a bitch.
[chuckles, sighs]
Uh
I'll get the stuff. [sighs]
Hey, would this spray for ants be okay?
Enea, wait. Um
We'll do it in the morning.
Let's go to bed.
[woodworm crunching]
["Bust Your Knee Caps"
by Pomplamoose playing]
- [Ines on phone] Know what day is today?
- I don't know, Ines.
I know it's Friday.
I have to see Punzo, pay my rent,
pay my mom's bills.
[sniffing]
[Ines] Is your mom still with
that traffic cop?
That guy's got no soul.
At least he's around.
So you really don't know what today is?
No, Ines. I don't.
So, you didn't get a gift
for Loredana, huh?
Oh God, no.
It's Lori's party.
I knew it. I knew you forgot all about it.
I should write down your answers
in advance,
then we can make it as a magic act.
What kind of gifts
do you want to buy for this?
Like, a bottle of wine?
A vibrator?
No, they'll all buy those.
We should stand out.
Speaking of party favors, did Enea get
the one you want for the wedding?
- Yes.
- [Ines] I knew it. You don't like it?
No, it's so sweet. It's just
That instead of the couple on the bench,
you wanted the bottle of limoncello.
I'm sure Enea will change it for you.
That man is a saint, unlike you.
Nothing happened, Ines.
You stood me up, so I stayed and had
a drink with a guy from middle school.
- Shit!
- [Ines] "A drink"?
Ten drinks.
With someone you had a crush on
in middle school. God knows why.
Oh, stop. He was cute.
Honey, no.
"He was cute." Come on.
[laughs] Oh my God, Ines
And if he stalks you?
Maybe he finally figures it out
and tracks you down.
How exactly would he do that?
- Ah, I forgot you two suck with tech.
- Actually, I have a cell phone now
and I can send voice texts.
When I send you them, you get mad.
'Cause you don't send voice texts, Ines,
you send audiobooks.
[Ines] Mati, anyway, listen to me.
Be careful.
What do you mean "be careful"?
Come on, I'm not some kind of carefree kid
living in a fantasy land.
Uh, and so I'm worried about you.
- Yeah, right.
- You've never been this careless.
I'll pick you up tonight at 7:00, okay?
Okay. Get a gift. Bye.
Bye, Ines.
[chuckles]
[munching]
Matteo, sweetie, are you done?
Are gonna eat the bowl too?

["La Bambola" by Patty Pravo playing]
[young Ines] I wanted a dog
and they had two.
27 OCTOBER 1998
A cute one and an ugly one.
In the end, we picked the cute one
because Dad didn't want the ugly one.
[Marina] Oh.
Mrs. Marina, Mama and Papa want to know
if you'd come to lunch on Sunday?
- All three of us?
- All four.
Papa's in Rome.
Yes, but he might come back
for the weekend.
You always say that,
but he never comes back.
Her dad's shooting an important film,
so he might not, uh
Mommy, in that film that Daddy's making,
are there naked people panting?
[school bell ringing]
- What are you saying, dummy?
- I'm not a dummy!
- Don't call her "dummy."
- She's saying dumb things.
- I'm not saying dumb things.
- No one here is saying dumb things.
Ugh.
[sighs]
Uh, what were you saying, sweetheart?
Yesterday, at the party for Raffaella,
they put on a cartoon.
Only it wasn't really a cartoon.
There were boobs and naked men.
And so everyone started screaming,
and I screamed too.
Honey, who gave you
that videotape to watch?
Do you know who it was?
Oh Jesus.
[students chattering]
- You're dead meat, you pervert!
- What'd I do?
- We didn't do anything!
- [man] Pastore! Mottola!
[students murmuring]
- She attacked him! She's insane!
- [man] Into my office!
Or I'll telephone your parents. Right now!
[sighs]
[bittersweet music playing]
[phone ringing]
- [phone continues ringing]
- [horn honking]
[answering machine beeps]
[Punzo] You've reached
the answering machine of Professor Punzo.
Leave a message after the beep.
What do I press now?
- [answering machine beeps]
- I'm coming!
- Hello?
- [Daniel] Good morning. I'm looking
for a girl who I think might work there.
She told me she's a restorer.
And I think her name is Magda,
but I'm not sure.
Magda? No, I'm sorry,
there's no one called Magda here.
- No Magda?
- [Punzo on phone] No, no, no, no.
Are you sure? Maybe
Jeez! I said no. [laughs]
Okay. Thank you.
And sorry for the inconvenience.
- Not at all. Bye-bye!
- [Daniel] Have a nice day.
And fuck off! [scoffs]
Mmm, smells good.
- [phone ringing]
- Mmm.
- Ah! Not again!
- [phone ringing]
Hello?
Oh, Mrs. Turco! [chuckles]
Oh, I'm so sorry.
The second hand makes too much noise?
Then let's just take it off completely,
why don't we? Destroy
[laughing] Mrs. Turco, good morning.
- Don't worry. You're never a bother.
- Uh-huh.
Yes, yes, I know.
If you were sleeping, that would be very
Ah. [mouthing]
No. No, no, I'm sorry.
The professor's schedule is full,
but I could take a look.
[mouthing] Shh!
Good. I'll be expecting you then.
See you soon, Mrs. Turco.
[chuckling] All right, Mrs. Turco.
We'll be We'll be expecting you. Yes.
Mm, goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye!
[laughs]
Oh my God,
she's a real big pain in my ass.
Matilda, believe me,
I'm gonna buy her a nice digital alarm.
But at least Mrs. Turco pays on time.
And to keep her happy
I have to talk to you.
Next week, I'm out of here.
You'll get the keys to the shop
and I'm off.
- Are you sure about Paris?
- [Punzo] You're questioning me?
- [laughs]
- I think you're making a huge mistake.
Why? Because I'm old?
No, it's not because of that.
But that's exactly why I have to go
and do it now.
If I don't do it now,
I'm never gonna do it.
- Of course.
- Get it? I want to live for myself.
I'm sick of living for everyone else and
doing what everyone else wants me to do.
You gave me the idea for Paris
because it's the city of magic.
I know. I know.
You even got admitted to Versailles,
you lucky girl,
in that restoration contest.
You, and I'm stuck here.
Give an old man some good news.
Tell me you'll accept it.
No, no, Professor. It's expensive.
It lasts a year. And I'm getting married.
[laughs] What's the point
of all the wedding gift money then?
- [scoffs] To pay for the wedding!
- [laughs]
And what about poor Enea?
He gave up everything to come to Naples.
Now he's got that job at the theater.
I'm supposed to make him move again?
Oh, come on, Mati. We're talking
about Paris, not flying off to Mars.
That's not an excuse.
That man would follow you anywhere.
Yeah, sure. Hey, I got to go.
Uh, do you spray for woodworms?
Mati, just imagine, huh?
You open your own workshop in Marais, huh?
Then you come to my place
to eat scarpariello.
- [laughs]
- Yeah, right.
Mrs. Turco can fuck herself
and all of her clocks! [laughs]
By the way, do you think
I should invite Mrs. Turco to the wedding?
Jesus.
What an awful generation you are.
[phone ringing]
[sighs] All right now,
tell me what's going on.
Matilda, hiding your problems
and pretending they don't exist
doesn't make them magically go away.
- There are no problems.
- Really?
"When I assigned her a paper on Cleopatra,
Matilda Pastore refused,
adding that she'd rather burn down
her house while inside than do it."
- He's got it in for me.
- No one's got it in for you.
- You can't punch your classmate.
- He's not my classmate.
- I don't even know her.
- Be quiet.
Matilda, you used to be such
a sensible girl, what happened to you?
You want to become like Antonio?
Like Daniel and his friends? God forbid.
- I'm the victim. Nothing to do with her.
- Daniel!
- Matilda!
- I'm sorry. Yeah, no more.
[sighs]
- What's gotten into you?
- You know how girls can be.
Right. [sighs]
By tomorrow, do the paper on Cleopatra,
with Daniel.
- He's not in my class!
- It's not even
I don't care. Bring it to my office
before you go to class. Is that clear?
[Daniel sighs]
- [Ines] You really don't want to be here.
- [Matilda] No, as long as we leave early.
[doorbell buzzing]
[gasps] It's not like I jinxed Loredana
just by being her maid of honor.
- Jinxed how?
- I didn't curse her marriage.
Well, maybe you think I'm bad luck.
Ines, you'll be my bridesmaid,
no matter what. It's confirmed.
Okay.
If we leave early.
Okay.
- [doorbell buzzes]
- Have you heard from him?
- Who?
- Daniel, of course.
Ugh, Ines! You're still on that?
You said you liked him.
You spent the whole night with him.
I didn't do anything bad.
You could've at least told who you were.
I know. Only I didn't tell him right away,
and then I couldn't find a moment.
- Ah-ha.
- Stop that!
- Stop what?
- You said, "Ah-ha."
"Ah-ha." So what?
Ah-ha means,
"You didn't tell him who you were
'cause you didn't want him
to find out you have a fiancé."
- No, I just said, "Ah-ha."
- Well, I'm done with him.
Or else I would have told him. I swear.
- Well, as long as you're happy.
- I am happy.
- Marriage is something to be happy about.
- I'm happy.
- Happy forever.
- I said I'm happy.
I'm happy for you.
[breathes deeply]
[women] Happy divorce! Whoo!
[women laughing]
[slow dance music playing]
So, did you give him back the ring?
When he hired a lawyer,
I said I'd lost it.
Good for you. Franco took his,
the fucking dickbag.
He said keeping it
would've been an affront to God.
[women] Mmm.
Ines, what about you?
Are you still make wedding dresses?
Well, let's not talk about it in here
or they'll burn my store down.
[woman] Haven't you left Andrea yet?
So I could raise the kids all by myself?
- No. No.
- [woman] You're right.
At least you didn't bring your man along
like Carmen did.
Come on, they're cute.
The only men that belong
at a party like this should be naked ones.
Ah, did you bring any? [laughs]
Mmm. [laughs]
Mati, they told me you're about to take
the big leap into the void.
There's still time.
Well, we've already announced
the marriage, so I'm, uh
Look, I know her fiancé. He's a doll.
This is from me and Ines.
- You shouldn't have!
- Ooh.
It's not a vibrator.
I'm sorry.
Make my dreams come true ♪
Um, you wanted to be a singer as a kid.
Um, well, if you want to try
and use it as one, it's up to you.
[all laugh]
What a sweet thought. Really! Beautiful.
- [woman] To a new life!
- [all] A new life!
- A new life.
- A new life. [chuckles]
[young Matilda]
I didn't even want to be here.
I shouldn't even have to do this paper.
- You showed my sister a porno movie.
- That's more than I ever saw.
- Hurry up with the encyclopedia.
- It goes up to "CIP."
Cleopatra's with an L. It's the one after.
There's no book after.
[grunts] Mom, where's the rest
of the encyclopedia?
[Rosaria] Your father
didn't finish paying it off.
Now what do we do?
Do you have the Internet?
- How do you know about it?
- My cousin lives in Naples.
Everyone has it there.
She talks to strangers with it.
- About what?
- I don't know.
Anyway, I can't go on there. I'm grounded.
And it's for my pa's work.
He searches for things.
Can you search for Cleopatra?
[playful music playing]
[dial-up Internet connecting]
CONNECTING TO INTERNET
STOP
MERCURY SEARCH
We could ask strangers,
like your cousin does.
[typing]
- Dad said you can't use the computer.
- [Daniel] We're doing homework.
If you tell him,
I'll burn all your stuffed animals.
I'll tell your girlfriend
you kiss the mirror!
- Shut up! That's not true!
- [young Raffaella] It is.
[sighs]
It's not true.
Cleopatra VII or just Cleopatra?
You found her.
- What do we do now?
- We copy it.
Thanks for not telling on me
about that tape today.
Mmm, change a few words
or the Principal will know.
So, you can search for anything
you want, huh?
[gentle music playing]
[man] Want one?
No, thanks.
I promised my fiancé I'd quit,
and I've been good so far.
Oh. Yeah, it bugged Carmen too.
But I honestly don't give a shit.
It's my life.
And it's my choice.
Mati, come, he's here. Come, come, come.
There's only a few drags left,
I'll leave it here. In case.
Thanks.

You just divorced Maurizio.
You've been saying for six years to me
you don't love him.
- You did the right thing.
- When did I ever do the right thing?
I throw away my only shot
at music school for this?
It's our fault.
That microphone was a bad idea.

Lori, now
Do you want the advice
of a happily married woman?
You've got to make some time for yourself.
You need to understand what you want.
Otherwise, you'll spend
the next six years of your life
pretending you don't have a huge problem.
[takes deep breath]
You don't love Maurizio, Lori.
You're just afraid of going out
and finding someone you actually do like.
[sighs]
Ines is right, Loredana.
Yes. Of course, I'm right.
or you wouldn't have picked me
as your maid of honor, huh?
There. [laughs]

Let's go.
I'll help you fix it. Come on.
