she's by his first wife, Anna.

No, I'm sorry, I can't,

I'm edgy today,

I'm not usually like this.

Know why?

It's four months today

my husband and I haven't made love.

The strange and bad thing is

I couldn't care less.

Like I'm getting used to it.

#This morning I got up,#

#I had coffee and left the house. #

#I bought my favorite paper#

#at the newsstand. #

#I saw an announcement:#

#"Chinese relaxation rubdowns,#

#discreet environment, 024312... "#

#I waited for the flush to subside#

#and I called. #

#Colini 21, intercom 3.#

I'd like to have the street name.

Colini 21, near Paolo Sarpi.

You said Sarpi?

Wait, sir.

- Who's this?

- Like I'm gonna tell you!

#It's 21 Via Niccolini. #

Ring at Ha To Ho, number 3.

Can I come right now?

I'm here now, so you can't.

The lady will tell you.

I'd like to know when...

#"Go fom-fo".#

#What's that mean?#

#Ground floor! "Go"#

#means ground and "fom-fo"... #

#She stammers?#

#Chinese and a stammerer!#

#We'll never understand each other!#

#Thid flol. #

- What, third floor?

- #Thid flol. #

Oh, "thid" floor!

- Should I undress?

- Want massage with clothes?

Everything?

Yes.

Lie on belly.

Colini 21, intercom 3.

Wait, sir.

Please, I'm talking.

The address is 21 Via Niccolini.

Ring at Ha Ho To, three.

Don't mention it.

- Thank you.

- "Velcome. "

- There, that's what I don't...

- Down!

#She pushes me down#

#and starts massaging. #

#As she's massaging my back,#

#one of my favorite spots,#

#en passant, she runs her hand#

#between my buttocks. #

#Given my position,#

#I'm right on display. #

#Everyone knows#

#what effect a woman's hand,#

#even if Chinese,#

#produces in that place. #

#This action is repeated#

#over and over again. #

#Even when the massage#

#moves to the legs... #

#Here Yoko asks me to turn over. #

Turn over.

#I turn over... #

#Guys, it looks like#

#Benny Goodman's clarinet!#

- I don't understand.

- Nice hard-on!

#She began massaging my pectorals,#

#moving down to my abdominals and... #

Done.

#Guys, I came#

#in just 14 seconds flat. #

Best of everything.

No, not the hand...

#I feel great, I feel really great. #

#But... #

#What the f***'s a seagull doing#

#in a city with no sea?#

What the f***...

#Hi. #

#You know me, don't you?#

Yes.

#Can I say something?#

#I thought I was#

#the main female character,#

#pretty, with some hang-ups,#

#I'd have fallen in love... #

#so then, excuse me if I say so,#

#how's the Chinese fit in?#

I'm still on the introduction,

creating the premises,

shaping characters,

you'll see how the Chinese...

#It's been ages#

#since you mentioned me. #

#I agree,#

#the scene's just for a laugh. #

#Good thing it was#
