0:39:02 > 0:39:05And therefore...feet.
0:39:05 > 0:39:06THEY LAUGH
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Was this a long time ago?
0:39:08 > 0:39:13Oh, yes, 10...no, 12. 12 years.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22And, er...
0:39:24 > 0:39:26..when was the last time you saw her?
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Actually, er...nine months.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38But I have good reason for hoping to see her again soon.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Check.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45Dad!
0:40:04 > 0:40:05Peter?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Peter?
0:40:24 > 0:40:25Hello?
0:40:44 > 0:40:48'You have one new message.'
0:40:48 > 0:40:53- RALPH:- 'Lisa, please, let me hear your voice again.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55'I know I swore I wouldn't ring you
0:40:55 > 0:40:59'but...your emails make me desperate to hear your voice.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01'Call me, please. Bye.'
0:41:26 > 0:41:29What do you do in Milan with those Giannis?
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- You made me jump.- Eh?
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Trade fair. It's hell.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Expect me to feel sorry for you?
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Mm-hmm.
0:42:01 > 0:42:06HE SINGS QUIETLY
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Do you desperately want to do that?
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- Was she often in Milan, your friend? - Oh, yes.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48'I will make things easy for you,
0:42:48 > 0:42:50but don't doubt my love because of that.'
0:42:50 > 0:42:51She would try to elude me.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- I'd like to... I'd like it to be that things were different.- I know.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56I was very persistent.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00Yes, you know. If we could be together, live for one another,
0:43:00 > 0:43:04let nothing else matter. But our world isn't like that.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05No, I know.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07- No, don't. You keep saying, "I know."- I know.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09- "I know. I know."- I know.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13I know, I know... # I know, I know
0:43:13 > 0:43:17- # I know, I know, I know... # - I know!
0:43:17 > 0:43:20# I know, I know... # I know.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Grazie.

0:43:45 > 0:43:47DOOR SLAMS
0:43:50 > 0:43:52You gave me a shock.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54I heard you coming.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57How was Milan?
0:43:57 > 0:43:59Lovely. Fun.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02- Everything all right?- Of course.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04I'm so happy to see you.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10BOTH LAUGH
0:44:12 > 0:44:17'You meet someone, you fall in love, you have the opportunity.'
0:44:17 > 0:44:19You make a choice.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25Lisa?
0:44:31 > 0:44:35Ever, er, met a woman you'd like to live with?
0:44:35 > 0:44:38Plenty of women desperate to live with me.
0:44:38 > 0:44:39But I don't live with anyone.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42See them, yeah, often for lengthy periods,
0:44:42 > 0:44:43but not live.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45- Are you married? - We have a daughter.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47- I have a son.- Hmm.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50- Married long?- Nearly 25 years.
0:44:50 > 0:44:54We've both had separate careers, with all that that means.
0:44:54 > 0:44:59We've had a good marriage, always trusted each other, never doubted.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01Oh, well, that's fine, very good.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04Grand. But not for me.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07'There's always doubt, my friend.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10'Marriage is hell, as I am sure you have found.
0:45:10 > 0:45:13'I prefer hotels and heaven.'
0:45:15 > 0:45:17Come and see.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26I kept it for you.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09'You have a bad bishop...'
0:46:09 > 0:46:12and I have a good one.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14"You swine, Ralph!"
0:46:15 > 0:46:17Excuse me. Forgive me.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20We Spanish are passionate people.
0:46:20 > 0:46:24You do have a good one, but...check.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27SPEAKS SPANISH
0:46:27 > 0:46:31Unless you can swindle, cheat.
0:46:31 > 0:46:35Not my game. I haven't got a spiteful bone in my body.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37- PHONE RINGS - Excuse me.
0:46:40 > 0:46:41Lisa?
0:46:44 > 0:46:45Lisa?
0:46:48 > 0:46:50I know you are...
0:46:50 > 0:46:52I know you are there, Lisa.
0:46:52 > 0:46:53Answer me.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56Answer me. I know you are there.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Lisa. Your emails.
0:47:03 > 0:47:07'Answer me. I know you are there, Lisa.
0:47:07 > 0:47:08'Speak to me.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10'Let me hear your voice.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13'Darling, come on, speak to me.'
0:47:14 > 0:47:15Lisa?
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Answer me.
0:47:18 > 0:47:22Answer me, I know you are there!
0:47:23 > 0:47:24Lisa?
0:47:24 > 0:47:26'Darling, speak to me.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28'Lisa!'
0:47:34 > 0:47:38'My love, the passion I give you,
0:47:38 > 0:47:43'can't be without you any more than you can be without me.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46'If you leave me, I'll crash.'
0:47:46 > 0:47:48You frighten me.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51'I will.
0:47:52 > 0:47:53'Don't let it come to that.'
0:47:55 > 0:47:57What else can I do?
0:48:02 > 0:48:04Who are you happiest with?
0:48:07 > 0:48:09- Now?- This moment.
0:48:11 > 0:48:12You.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24Soon I will be happy with another.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28- Him.- Of course him.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40Excuse me. What do you think you're doing?
0:48:42 > 0:48:45I got a call yesterday.
0:48:46 > 0:48:50It was a call from a shoe designer.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52I can only describe her to you
0:48:52 > 0:48:55as the most beautiful woman in the world.
0:48:58 > 0:49:03I do now know she is the only woman I could ever love.
0:49:08 > 0:49:09Check.
0:49:16 > 0:49:18She's rung you, has she?
0:49:19 > 0:49:21She has.
0:49:22 > 0:49:23You spoke to her?
0:49:25 > 0:49:27She has acknowledged my call.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30BOTH LAUGH
0:49:36 > 0:49:38Do you ride?
0:49:39 > 0:49:44With horses as with women, and of course you know that,
0:49:44 > 0:49:48to have good hands is essential.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00Check. Mate.
0:50:02 > 0:50:04You bastard, how dare you?
0:50:04 > 0:50:07It is only a game of fucking chess, man!
0:50:07 > 0:50:10Oh, lord, three o'clock, I must fly.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13SHOUTS IN ITALIAN
0:50:13 > 0:50:16THEY SPEAK ITALIAN
0:50:38 > 0:50:40- Dad!- Abigail.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43- We wondered where you were. - Is George here?
0:50:43 > 0:50:45- No. No, he's not.- Come on.
0:50:45 > 0:50:46- Where are we going?- How to tell you?
0:50:46 > 0:50:48I've talked to him.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51- What?- Her lover.- How?
0:50:51 > 0:50:54Not really talked to him, I didn't say anything.
0:50:54 > 0:50:55Mum's phone. I used ring back.
0:50:55 > 0:50:58Did you? Of course you did.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01I talk to him every day, we play chess together.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03What?
0:51:03 > 0:51:06He doesn't know who I am. He's monstrous.
0:51:06 > 0:51:09His hands in particular revolt me. Pink hands!
0:51:09 > 0:51:12- I really don't want to know. - It's not the same for you!
0:51:17 > 0:51:20He doesn't have horrible hands.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22Read his emails, here.
0:51:29 > 0:51:32- SHE SNIGGERS - Dad...- Listen!
0:51:32 > 0:51:36"I didn't touch you until you put your arms around my neck
0:51:36 > 0:51:37"on our first night.
0:51:37 > 0:51:39"Don't you remember?"
0:51:39 > 0:51:42We never spent days and nights in bed together.
0:51:42 > 0:51:46"It was cold, so cold you didn't want to come out
0:51:46 > 0:51:49"and so I sat up and leaned across you
0:51:49 > 0:51:52"and turned out the light on your side
0:51:52 > 0:51:55"and then you finally took your arms from under the blanket
0:51:55 > 0:51:56"and took me to you.
0:51:56 > 0:51:59"I don't dare ask to see you again,
0:51:59 > 0:52:02"but you should know I would like that very much, Ralph."
0:52:02 > 0:52:05Calls himself Ralph.
0:52:05 > 0:52:07Says things like, "The most beautiful woman in the world,"
0:52:07 > 0:52:11in his well-pressed jeans, yellow socks, sacred Gucci loafers.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14Fucking prick! Gucci loafers!
0:52:21 > 0:52:24- Have you been replying to him? - Mmm?
0:52:24 > 0:52:25He thinks she is.
0:52:25 > 0:52:30Oh, no. Dad, please... Just leave it, yeah?
0:52:30 > 0:52:33Says things like, "Took me to you."
0:52:33 > 0:52:36What was she thinking? Who believes that sort of crap?
0:52:36 > 0:52:37How could she? Don't cry.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40I'm not crying!
0:52:40 > 0:52:41I wasn't enough for her.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44I'm so bloody angry I could kill him.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49I was always faithful to her.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52I thought we were close, I thought we told each other everything.
0:52:52 > 0:52:54She was a different person, she must have been.
0:52:54 > 0:52:59Which is worse, the person you love is someone else with another man, or that they're the same?
0:52:59 > 0:53:03- Please, Dad. Please, stop it. - It's so bloody insulting.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05I can't take it anymore!
0:53:05 > 0:53:07Just let it go!
0:53:08 > 0:53:13'I sat up and leaned across you and turned out the light.
0:53:16 > 0:53:21'Then you finally took your arms from under the blanket
0:53:21 > 0:53:23'and took me to you.'
0:53:28 > 0:53:30BUZZER SOUNDS
0:54:14 > 0:54:15You...
0:54:15 > 0:54:17- You scared me.- Yes, I'm sure.- Yes.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20I... I wasn't, erm...
0:54:20 > 0:54:21You'll love this.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23This is just...
0:54:23 > 0:54:28What I am doing down here is just taking care of the house,
0:54:28 > 0:54:31er, tortoise... How do you say that in English?
0:54:31 > 0:54:33- Tort...tort... - Tortoises?
0:54:33 > 0:54:37Tortoises. Tortoises. Do you like tortoises?
0:54:37 > 0:54:39Don't touch me, please. RALPH CHUCKLES
0:54:39 > 0:54:43I don't blame you, messy business.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45Come here. Come here.
0:54:47 > 0:54:50You know, when the old girl started digging in the dirt...
0:54:50 > 0:54:52watch this.
0:54:52 > 0:54:57I thought of everything except she might be burying eggs.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59But that's what she was doing, three eggs...
0:55:06 > 0:55:09But she was, three.
0:55:11 > 0:55:16So I moved it down here, and tiny little tortoises hatched from two.
0:55:32 > 0:55:35Are you all right?
0:55:40 > 0:55:43Tartaruga, the Italians call them.
0:55:43 > 0:55:44Two of them hatched out.
0:55:44 > 0:55:50But I lost one and I am sad to say she went down the pan.
0:55:57 > 0:55:58Sentimental sod!
0:56:00 > 0:56:02Bastard! CHILD CRIES
0:56:02 > 0:56:04How dare he?
0:56:10 > 0:56:13I'll pay. I'll pay. I'll pay you.
0:56:13 > 0:56:15- I will pay you! - What are you doing?
0:56:15 > 0:56:17I've got time to get my flight.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19None of this you're doing is right, Dad.
0:56:19 > 0:56:21It's making you ill and it's making you awful.
0:56:21 > 0:56:26You're not stable, yeah? It's over! Just let it go, move on.
0:56:26 > 0:56:27She's gone!
0:56:32 > 0:56:33Aeroporto.
0:57:05 > 0:57:06EMAIL ALERT TONE
0:57:22 > 0:57:25PHONE RINGS
0:57:33 > 0:57:35Hello?
0:57:35 > 0:57:38'Peter, I have a little problem.'
0:57:38 > 0:57:41Let me give you lunch tomorrow.
0:57:43 > 0:57:45Shall we meet at my apartment?
0:57:58 > 0:57:59Buon giorno?
0:58:07 > 0:58:09Peter. Come on up.
0:58:09 > 0:58:12To my apartment.
0:58:12 > 0:58:14- Your apartment?- Come on.
0:58:19 > 0:58:22- Is this...?- When I am in town, yes.
0:58:25 > 0:58:27I've had some very exciting news.
0:58:27 > 0:58:31Though it's rather hush-hush for the fear of publicity.
0:58:33 > 0:58:37She wants me to go to spend the weekend with her in Lake Como.
0:58:37 > 0:58:39Our usual hotel.
0:58:39 > 0:58:44My friend, the celebrated shoe designer.
0:58:45 > 0:58:47It's nice.
0:58:47 > 0:58:51You know, I was thinking, you know me,
0:58:51 > 0:58:56a second honeymoon in the Lake Como, sort of thing?
0:58:56 > 0:58:58Then we both go to London.
0:58:58 > 0:59:03To be honest, things are becoming a little hot for me here.
0:59:03 > 0:59:07You know, the usual temporary cash-flow problems.
0:59:07 > 0:59:11I was thinking about throwing her a surprise party.
0:59:11 > 0:59:14You know, push the boat in, mark the beginning of our life together.
0:59:14 > 0:59:15London?
0:59:15 > 0:59:18- A celebration. But er... - No, no buts, do it properly.
0:59:18 > 0:59:22- Push the boat in, well and truly. - Out, I mean!
0:59:23 > 0:59:26- Do you think so? - Let me foot the bill.
0:59:26 > 0:59:30The least I can do to help a friend who's temporarily on his uppers.
0:59:30 > 0:59:32Uppers.
0:59:32 > 0:59:34How much?
0:59:34 > 0:59:36Oh, cash, of course.
0:59:38 > 0:59:40I hope I'm going to get invited to this London party.
0:59:40 > 0:59:42- Yeah.- Who do you have in mind?
0:59:42 > 0:59:45Colleagues of hers, cosmopolitans like myself.
0:59:45 > 0:59:48More?
0:59:48 > 0:59:50- Fashionistas, you know.- More.
0:59:50 > 0:59:52Why not?
1:00:40 > 1:00:43BELL CHIMES
1:01:15 > 1:01:20Good evening. Reservation in the name of Carentis.
1:01:20 > 1:01:22Your guest is already here, sir.
1:01:42 > 1:01:47I'm sorry to disappoint you. She won't be coming, Lisa.
1:01:50 > 1:01:51Lisa?
1:01:51 > 1:01:53She's dead.
1:01:58 > 1:01:59Lisa.
1:02:01 > 1:02:03My wife.
1:02:03 > 1:02:04Dead.
1:02:14 > 1:02:16Me.
1:02:16 > 1:02:18It's been me, you see.
1:02:23 > 1:02:25Aperitif, signore?
1:02:32 > 1:02:35- What did she die of?- Cancer.
1:02:39 > 1:02:41Bad?
1:02:41 > 1:02:42Bad?
1:02:45 > 1:02:49She got so thin I could carry her with one arm.
1:02:50 > 1:02:53They say they know how to cope with pain nowadays.
1:02:53 > 1:02:55They do and they did.
1:02:57 > 1:02:59Peter. Come through.
1:03:10 > 1:03:13'I wish she had screamed sometimes.'
1:03:13 > 1:03:14It'll be fine.
1:03:16 > 1:03:19'She didn't tell me she was ill until it was too late.'
1:03:19 > 1:03:23I don't know why she did that, it was so...stupid.
1:03:23 > 1:03:25Her doctors suggested vanity.
1:03:25 > 1:03:29HE STUTTERS Shut up! Of course it wasn't vanity.
1:03:29 > 1:03:31She knew I wouldn't have cared how she looked.
1:03:31 > 1:03:33'You do know she refused surgery?'
1:03:40 > 1:03:43I do now.
1:03:47 > 1:03:49Is Lisa proud of her looks?
1:03:50 > 1:03:53She...didn't talk about it.
1:03:56 > 1:03:57I suppose she, er...
1:03:59 > 1:04:02She didn't want to...
1:04:12 > 1:04:14She never complained.
1:04:17 > 1:04:19She...
1:04:35 > 1:04:37She liked being beautiful.
1:04:39 > 1:04:41'It isn't a crime.'
1:04:41 > 1:04:45- What isn't? - If she cared how she looked.
1:04:45 > 1:04:47- It wasn't vanity.- How dare you?
1:04:47 > 1:04:49She would've been waiting for it to go away.
1:04:49 > 1:04:51- Go away?- Yes, go away!
1:04:51 > 1:04:54It was part of who she was.
1:04:54 > 1:04:56Everything she did was perfection.
1:04:56 > 1:04:58Don't be bloody silly, it was the opposite.
1:04:58 > 1:05:00She lived in perfection of the moment.
1:05:00 > 1:05:04It was blindness! What about the future? Did that not matter?
1:05:14 > 1:05:20You know... I've been very happy with you, Peter.
1:05:22 > 1:05:24Where?
1:05:25 > 1:05:27Where were you happiest?
1:05:32 > 1:05:34- Peter, I...- Write it down.
1:05:39 > 1:05:40Go on, take a pencil.
1:05:44 > 1:05:45Write it down.
1:05:49 > 1:05:53I bet it'll be the same, right?
1:05:59 > 1:06:03- Smug bugger. - HE CHUCKLES
1:06:05 > 1:06:08I have a better idea.
1:06:08 > 1:06:11Write down somewhere we've never been that I can take you to.
1:06:15 > 1:06:17You could take me anywhere.
1:06:23 > 1:06:25How did you find out about me?
1:06:29 > 1:06:35You were on a file called "Love" on my wife's computer.
1:06:38 > 1:06:40You read my emails?
1:06:41 > 1:06:42All of them.
1:06:45 > 1:06:50I...pretend that everything is better than it is.
1:06:50 > 1:06:53That there is money, when there isn't.
1:06:53 > 1:06:56Make things more beautiful than they are.
1:06:56 > 1:06:59I can do that, I am good at that.
1:07:00 > 1:07:05Losers are brilliant at making things pretty.
1:07:06 > 1:07:10I try to make the world beautiful when I can.
1:07:10 > 1:07:13Bring it out, reach the core.
1:07:13 > 1:07:15The heart of things, sort of thing.
1:07:16 > 1:07:21You...you only see the surface.
1:07:21 > 1:07:25George isn't the man for him, but he is for me.
1:07:27 > 1:07:29I know that.
1:07:29 > 1:07:32It doesn't have to be either or, does it?
1:07:32 > 1:07:37You can love two people at once, I think so anyway.
1:07:37 > 1:07:38That's right.
1:07:40 > 1:07:42Sweetheart, you know I've always loved your father.
1:07:42 > 1:07:45Mum, I know.
1:07:46 > 1:07:49It's simple, really.
1:07:49 > 1:07:52It's not just me any more, it's me and George.
1:07:52 > 1:07:57Dad thinks that's messy and he does so love everything in its place.
1:07:57 > 1:08:00And he'll probably change all this, but he can't change me
1:08:00 > 1:08:04and sometimes I want to say to him, "Get a fucking life."
1:08:07 > 1:08:09Mum...
1:08:11 > 1:08:14- Get your father.- No, I can do it. I can do it.- Get your father.
1:08:20 > 1:08:23So, well, that's it. It's over.
1:08:23 > 1:08:25You can still have your party for her.
1:08:25 > 1:08:27I shan't be there, of course.
1:08:27 > 1:08:31Of course. You've had your revenge already.
1:08:33 > 1:08:36I am a bullshitter, who is a janitor.
1:08:36 > 1:08:39Who would take any job, any.
1:08:39 > 1:08:42Brags about the past as if it was a catalogue of glory.
1:08:42 > 1:08:46Not unpaid bills and bankruptcy and prison.
1:08:46 > 1:08:47Oh, I'm sure.
1:08:47 > 1:08:50I should have noticed.
1:08:50 > 1:08:54Those emails sounded as prickish as you are.
1:08:57 > 1:08:59I saw them as beautiful, of course.

1:09:45 > 1:09:46He'll find it.
1:10:02 > 1:10:04You know what?
1:10:05 > 1:10:09She knew everything about me and she paid my debts
1:10:09 > 1:10:13and she loved me in spite of it.

1:14:03 > 1:14:05So, I said to Berlusconi,

1:14:11 > 1:14:13He followed my advice.
1:14:13 > 1:14:17Then he said to me, "Be my personal assistant."
1:14:17 > 1:14:19I said, "I am attending a number of these now,
1:14:19 > 1:14:23- "I don't know if I'll have time." - Ralph. You're looking well.
