MUSIC: That's Amore by Dean Martin

# When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie

# That's amore

# When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine

# That's amore

# Bells will ring

# Ting-a-ling-a-ling Ting-a-ling-a-ling

# And you'll sing "Vita bella"

# Hearts will play

# Tippy-tippy-tay Tippy-tippy-tay

# Like a gay tarantella

# When the stars make you drool just like pasta fazool

# That's amore

# When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet

# You're in love

# When you walk in a dream

# But you know you're not dreaming signore

# Scuzza me but you see Back in old Napoli

# That's amore... #

Hello!

Thank you.

Hi, guys. Hi, my name is Marco.

This is my cousin Alessandro.

I'm Patrick and this is my fiancee Astrid.

Astrid, nice to meet you. Hi.

# When you dance down the street with the clouds at your feet

# You're in love

# When you walk

# In a dream... #

The villa!

Yeah, I can see!

Here is key. Is for you. Thank you.

Now we have to go but we come back tomorrow, OK?

We can discuss about food, wine.

And how you get ready for wedding, OK?

Ciao!

Morning.

Where is everyone?

Another bloody seminar?

No-one told me about it.

Good god. I hate this country.

Get me Romania on the line, would you?

How's he doing?

Morning.

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday, dear Philip

# Happy birthday to you! #

THEY START SINGING

No, no, no, no.

Ja.

Yes.

Well, I don't know what to say.

Yep. Come in.

Er...

High heels?

Thank you, Bitten. Really.

But I think you need to find yourself a younger partner.

Ah, Bitten.

You gorgeous, beautiful, sweet girl.

This is never going to happen.

I'm a guy who's chosen to be by himself.

Simple as that.

I thought we could have fun, though.

Yeah, well, that's a very nice idea

but I've danced all the tango I'm ever going to dance.

Now, Romania - get them on the line again.

Otherwise, I'm going to end up

with 80,000 worth of rotting cucumbers.

Appreciate the thought, though.

By the way, your son called from Italy.

He says everything is going well.

Wishes you a happy birthday.

Romania.

Cucumbers.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Oh, God! What?

Look! Look what you've done to my car!

What were... What were you thinking?

What were you thinking? Hello!

Are you hurt? Huh?

Are you hurt? No! Well, come out. Come out and see my car!

Come and see the side of my car!

ENGINE REVS

No, no, no, no!

HORN BEEPS

Stop! Stop! Just come out, OK?

Just come out before you kill someone.

Just get out of the car. Come on.

Just... Just get out of the car.

Stop! Turn it off! Turn it off! Please! Turn it off, OK?

ENGINE STALLS

OK.

Oh. Look, I...

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Are you...

I'm so sorry.

Lady, listen, you have to look, OK?

It's one of the things of driving,

you have to look when you're reversing the damn car,

do you understand what I'm saying? Are you drunk?

- No, I'm not drunk. - What's wrong with you?

- I didn't see you. - You didn't see me?

The car's huge!

Yeah, well, we all have to catch a damn plane.

You have to catch a plane, I have to catch a plane,

and now I'm not going to catch... And please stop crying.

Stop crying.

All right.

OK, er...

Just give us your licence. Let's just sort it out.

- Sort the thing out, yeah? - Yes.

- You've got your driver's licence? - Yes.

All right.

I can't find it.

I...

- I don't have it. - Yeah. Course not.

Your daughter's getting married?

Yeah?

In Italy? Your daughter's getting married in Italy?

What's her name?

What does that have to do with the car?

Well, my son's getting married in Italy.

Yeah.

I'm Philip.

So, Astrid's your daughter?

- Ja. - OK.

Erm... All right. Look, we'll sort this all out down there, OK,

the insurance and everything like that, and good luck parking.

No, no.

- Are you just leaving me? - Yeah.

Listen, I've got to go, OK?

Don't worry.

We've got lots of time, OK?

But...

ENGINE TURNS OVER

Hey!

Ow!

Oh, God.

No, I'm just watching something here.

I'll call you... You call me back, all right?

- Did you see that? - Yeah, I did.

It just wouldn't stop giving me cola!

PHONE RINGS

Don't worry, I won't bother you.

Hello?

Yep. OK.

Listen, it's the radishes, OK?

Radishes are top priority.

Forget about everything else, you understand?

OK.

Speak to you soon.

It's actually funny that we haven't met each other before.

Yeah, well, you know, I travel a lot and I've been very busy.

Actually, I'm very busy right now.

With those radishes?

I thought you only sold lemons.

I started out with the lemons.

But then you moved into the radish business?

I'm not...

in the radish business. There's no such thing.

OK.

What exactly is it you do, then?

We sell a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.

Tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers,

aubergines, runner beans, broccoli,

oranges and lemons,

and, of course, radishes.

Yeah.

THEY LAUGH

OK, now try this.

This is for when guests come.

Right, Franciacorta, very nice.

- Patrick. - Thank you.

Cheers.

CAR HORN BEEPS

- Sorry. - No, I like that one.

That's very good.

HORN BEEPS

And you just carry on tasting wine and I'll be back in two seconds, OK?

OK, fine. Bye.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

How do you say cheers in Italian?

Ciao!

You're emotional.

You've got your finger up your bum and your brain in neutral.

Now sign them and send them, thank you.

Car's waiting outside for us.

My suitcase hasn't come.

Fine.

Great.

Just dandy.

Michael, Michael, you can't be both worthless and unambitious.

It's his seventh birthday.

He won't even remember you being there.

Just buy him a card and get on the plane.

Are we clear?

Good. Thank you.

I really don't understand why anybody will work for you,

when you're so awful

and stupid and not nice.

I pay them good money.

And why are you travelling alone, anyway?

I mean, where's Astrid's father?

What about your wife?

I'm sorry.

It's all right, I just thought Patrick might have said...

Well, never mind.

What?

It's just that, when he was younger,

he used to lie about his mother being alive.

No, no, no. He told us she died,

but it was just me. I'm really sorry.

It's all right.

Anyway,

tell me...

..what exactly do you do?

What do you mean?

Well, what are you trained as?

Trained as?

I'm not a dog.

What do you do for a living?

Ah.

Well, it's nothing exciting, I'm just a hairdresser.

Ah.

A hairdresser.

Why is that so funny?

Is it because I wear a wig?

No. No, no, no, no, no. It...

It looks...

..nice.

It looks really pretty.

You're very pretty.

Sorry. I'm just not very good at compliments.

You should practise doing it more often.

You're a little thin at the top.

You should also trim your sides a bit.

Hi!

Hi!

Hi!

- It's good to see you. - And you. And you.

How was your flight?

Oh, the flight was good. The flight was good.

- I'm just going to take your bag. - Yeah, thank you. I...

Thank you so much for letting us do this, Dad.

Astrid is completely over the moon. It's amazing.

Yes, of course.

We've had to spend a bit of money, though.

Quite a lot, actually.

We've almost maxed out all our credit cards.

Well, I told you it was a mad idea.

You should have chosen a hotel instead.

- Yes, I know. - Never mind.

We're here now.

You can borrow one of my credit cards.

OK.

Is it strange being back?

No.

No, it was just a long trip.

I didn't think you wanted your old bedroom

- so I've given you the purple one. - That's OK.

OK. Great.

Here you go.

I think this is going to be brilliant.

It'll be a small wedding but that's good.

And there'll be plenty of fruit.

You'll like it, Dad.

At least I think you will, so...

If you're happy, I'm happy, Patrick.

OK.

OK, I'm going to unpack, and...

all that kind of thing.

Yes, yes, of course. That's fine.

I'm really glad you're here, Dad. It means a lot.

OK.

- Well, bye, then. - Yeah, bye.

That's it.

- Bye, now. - Bye.

Oy.

Patrick?

- Ciao. - Ciao.

Ja.

When's the electrician coming?

He's here in two hours.

In two hours? OK.

Benedikte?

SHE LAUGHS

Philip! Why don't you come over here, darling?

Benedikte, please!

Your voice would wake the dead.

Love you!

Leif...

Drama!

Philip.

Ja.

What are you doing?

Are you crazy? Come out!

Come out! Come out! There's a rip current out there!

Why are you swimming out there?

That's crazy.

I mean, really, really crazy.

I mean, with your treatment and everything...

I'm not staring.

It was really wonderful.

That's cold.

It's fresh.

Here, take my jacket.

No, it's OK.

Thank you.

Wait a sec.

Sorry.

Ants.

That's not good.

If there's ants,

you can be sure the tree is infected with scale.

What is that?

It's an insect.

A parasite.

It's a really nasty, little horrible bug

that destroys the fruit first and then destroys the whole tree.

Actually, the females are the worst.

The males...

They're harmless.

They don't have a mouth

so they can't eat and they just die in a couple of days.

His life is absolutely without meaning.

But he must do something.

No. Nothing.

Now, the females, on the other hand,

they can actually reproduce asexually.

They're a very odd creature.

Very annoying

and very...

..dangerous.

The lemons almost look like oranges from here.

Yeah, they all are.

I mean, that tree back there,

that was an orange tree for 100 years

before it was pruned with a lemon.

I mean, most of the trees you see here were oranges,

so they have to be nurtured the whole time

so they don't grow back as oranges.

It's a very time-consuming and ongoing process.

So the tree can make both lemons and oranges?

Yeah.

- I like that. - Mm.

But, you know,

lemons, they are my favourite fruit.

Oh.

I really can't imagine the world without them.

No.

No. Nor can I.

Mm.

Did you know that,

botanically speaking...

..the lemon is a berry?

No.

Yeah.

PHONE RINGS

Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry.

OK, thank you.

There you are, Philip!

Was it a nice walk? Did you clear your head?

Yeah, my head is clear, thank you.

So worried about you.

- You look wonderful. - Thank you so much.

Ida and I bumped into each other.

You had a tag-along!

Astrid, this is amazing.

There are two wines, Dad. I don't know which one you like.

I don't mind.

I don't care.

- Both are good. - OK.

OK.

GLASS CLINKS

LAUGHTER

- Philip, Philip, Philip! - Yes.

Philip, you should put your fingers in your ears

because I'm saying that are going to make you blush.

No, I mean it! Just put your fingers in your ears!

- Are you serious? - Yes, I'm serious!

Put them in! Go on! Fingers in the ears!

Thank you.

Didn't we, though! A wink at each other

and had a little flirting going on, you know!

EMBARRASSED LAUGHTER

You look very...

different in that outfit.

I know.

I tried all of Astrid's dresses on,

but then I washed this one again.

Even the wedding dress?

Yeah, almost! She wouldn't let me.

Ungrateful children.

No respect.

Er, well, the property goes back about 16 acres that way.

OK.

Hi.

Hey. Hi.

Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

No, no. I'm OK. I'm fine. Thank you.

If I were you, I would get that credit card back

before it's too late.

You just bought me a very expensive dress.

Oh. Have I? Good God.

Yeah, I will pay you back, of course.

That's even better.

Is it pretty? The dress?

I never had anything that nice before.

Yeah, look at that.

Well, you're going to look very beautiful in it, I'm sure.

What would you like?

- Buongiorno. - Buongiorno.

Cappuccino.

- Two cappuccino, please. - Grazie.

Grazie.

You know, you haven't said one nasty thing to me in over six minutes.

It's a magical thing, silence.

Yep.

So you really think I'm that angry?

Yeah.

How did you meet your wife?

We met here, actually.

Here?

Well, no. Not right here but we met in Italy,

in the south.

Then she went to Denmark and...

..I stalked her.

Did she like that?

No, not really.

She got used to it, though.

I mean, I...

I worked on her and, eventually,

she kind of softened up and...

..married me.

What happened?

What do you mean, what happened?

I mean, how did she die?

Do you... Do you mind that I asked?

No.

She

was just...

..unfortunate.

It was a little...

..stupid accident.

It was a mother

and her three screaming kids in the back seat.

It was snowing.

The roads were slippery...

..and she didn't brake in time.

I mean, she didn't even hit her that hard,

it was just, Elizabeth...

..just landed badly.

That must have been horrible.

You get over it.

I got over it.

Patrick got over it.

Get on with life.

Driver never did.

She insisted on meeting Patrick and me.

She wanted to apologise to us

and then, when she came into the room on that particular day,

all she did was just sit there and cry.

She didn't say a word. She just cried. She just blubbered.

Are you still angry with her?

No.

I'm not angry with her.

Now I'm just angry with everyone else.

KNOCKING ON DOOR

Ah! Benedikte!

Good evening.

I just wanted to make sure you were all right.

All's good.

I know, with all the painful memories and everything...

No pain.

Good.

- I'm too excited to sleep. - Ah?

Yeah, so much going on.

Still love Italy.

The food, the wine, the romance.

Don't you?

No.

Actually, you're absolutely right.

Yeah.

It's going to be a great day tomorrow, isn't it?

Yeah. Great.

Why don't we go to the harbour and have a glass of wine

and go over old days and just talk and be ourselves?

Yeah, that would be a great idea. Yeah.

It's a great colour on you, this one.

You should wear that more often.

- Goodnight. - Yes, goodnight.

Yes, of course, yes.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

HE SIGHS

Buongiorno.

Buongiorno.

- A cut? - Yes. Si. Grazie.

- A little trim on the sides. - Yes.

Prego.

Grazie.

- Just trim? - Just trim. Just...

Little trim over the ears.

OK, OK.

Alessandro!

Hey. Hi. Hi.

Can I have you for a sec?

Hi.

Hi.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

Want a drink?

Eh? It's a loan.

That's very nice of you, Philip.

Just lending people money for clothes. It's wonderful.

It's very nice, also. Did you pick it out, too?

Oh, my God!

I can't believe we're pretending, you know, to be one of them.

I mean, have you seen the father? He looks like a Lucian Freud painting!

You remember the dress I wore yesterday?

Oh, yeah. I remember the dress.

Well, this is not the same dress. This dress is for dancing.

Miss... Miss, please come with me.

- Come, come. - What?

- Oh, Alexandra! - She drunk?

Oh, no!

Oh, no, no, no! God forbid!

I'm not sure if I can remember how this works,

but I'd be honoured if you'd have the next dance with me.

Of course.

Go in.

Kenneth!

That was a great left hook your son's got. Boosh!

But he can't hit his father.

Well, he had it coming.

He deserved it.

I'm sorry, we're such a crazy family.

No, don't be. It's great, it's great.

It's just...

It's just, this past year has just really been strange.

I mean, a lot of thing have happened,

but many of them have been nice.

I'm sorry.

I really, really am sorry.

Your illness.

- Want to talk about it? - No.

- No? OK. - No.

- It's fine. - Yeah.

But I mean, right now you're well...

PHONE RINGS

What did you do that for?

Because...

I don't know.

Right now though, are you well?

I don't know.

I finished the treatment.

I don't know if I'm cured yet.

Right now, there's so many things, but...

Why are you so nice to me?

Because you're wonderful.

- No, I'm not. - Because you're beautiful.

No, I'm not really not beautiful.

That was a long time ago.

No, come on, you still are.

You just have no idea how beautiful you really are.

Truly you are so beautiful.

Philip! Philip, I heard about the violence in the house.

Oh, my God! I hope you're all right.

Yes, I'm great.

That's what I'm telling you, that family's just...

Oh, whoops!

Yeah.

- Alexandra's finally asleep. - Good.

Just lying there looking like a baby, you know.

- Still vulnerable when they're... - Oh, yeah.

What were you two talking about?

Listen, I just want to be alone right now.

Oh, that's what I'm here for, darling.

You don't have to do everything on your own.

And by the way, you owe me a dance.

No, I don't. I don't own you a dance.

Let's cut the charade.

I mean, who are we kidding? Honestly.

What are you talking about? What are you trying to say?

I love you and you love me.

And you always did.

Perfect match.

You've always loved me, I know that.

Don't, don't.

And to be honest with you,

I mean, you're not really trying to convince yourself

that you're falling in love with that...

..hairdresser. Are you?

I mean, you might as well fall in love

with a Russian postal bride on the internet.

- You should be ashamed of yourself. - I know.

Let me tell you something, Benedikte.

I never like to be impolite,

but for many years now it's been an absolute mystery to me

that you and your sister Elizabeth could actually be related.

Because she was the kindest, the most beautiful soul

any man could meet. She was everything that you are not.

Now, I've put up with you,

but only because of Patrick and Alexandra,

and I will continue to do so.

However...

there is absolutely nothing about you...

that I find remotely attractive.

You are the most awful person I have ever known.

Sit down.

Now, I'm going to go to bed.

Stay away! You understand?

Alessandro, I'm sorry.

I thought you were...

You and Astrid.

You know?

KNOCK ON DOOR

KNOCK ON DOOR

Benedikte! If that's you I'm going to kill you!

I'm going to kill you.

You just...

Oh, sorry.

Is Patrick here?

No.

I can't find him anywhere.

Erm, what happened?

I don't know, he just...left.

You go back to bed. Come on. Go back to bed.

Don't worry.

Hey.

- What's going on? - Nothing.

It was a stupid idea getting married.

- No, it wasn't. - Yes, it was.

I thought that me getting married and you coming back here

would solve everything, but it didn't.

I'm so stupid! I'm so stupid!

- And you always thought so. - That's not true.

It is.

I have spent so much time trying to figure out how to make you happy.

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

Patrick, I know I haven't always been...

Been the greatest dad in the world.

But I've never wanted you to do anything for my sake.

Shut up!

- I just wanted you to... - Shut up!

You're such an idiot, Dad. Such an idiot.

You've just been too busy feeling sorry for yourself.

Yeah.

Perhaps you're right.

I'm sorry.

But why do you suddenly care about all that?

Patrick...

I don't know what the hell I want, for Christ sake!

I don't know anything.

I feel empty inside.

Patrick, there's nothing wrong with you.

Just go.

I'll get it together.

- Hey, come on. - No!

No! Just go!

Just go. Please.

I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Thank you very much for having us.

Hi.

Hi.

So...this is where you've been hiding?

Yeah, this is Patrick's father.

- Hello. Philip. - Hello, there.

- Yes, I've heard a lot about you. - What are you doing here?

I just came to get a haircut.

Have my sides trimmed.

I don't think we can fit you in today.

So, how is Patrick?

He's much better.

He's good.

And Astrid?

She's going travelling with Kenneth.

I've decided to go back to Italy.

Cut down on my workload and just...

Sounds like a good idea.

I know you think I'm an idiot and this is all very strange, but...

..would you like to come and visit me?

Why would I do that?

Because...

..I've been thinking about you ever since we left.

You have to turn your head so I can cut your hair.

Would you at least consider it?

- I can't. - Why not?

- Because I can't. - Why?

You shouldn't be with someone like me. You could have anyone.

I don't want just anyone.

I want you.

You don't want to be with someone like me.

You don't know what might happen, anything could happen.

You can't just...

come in here and invite people to Italy.

Besides, Leif has moved back in.

Would you please leave?

I'm sorry.

I really didn't mean to upset you.

Just go.

Ida!

Ida!

CHATTERING

Ida.

- What are you doing here? - I've come to find you.

Well...here I am.

And I want to ask you for a favour.

I have a letter from the hospital, I don't know what it says.

I've been afraid to open it alone.

This probably sounds silly.

I can do it if you do it with me.

Shall I open this?

Would you?

Whatever it says in here,

I want you to know how happy I am that you came here.

I mean, the mere fact that we ever met in the first place

is something to be happy about. At least I am.

And I will be for as long as I have the pleasure of your company

whether it's for...

ten minutes, two years or 30 years.

Would you mind if I kissed you first?

No.
