as if by magic.

- You may go in, ma'am.

- Wait!

What's wrong?

Everyone says he's a dangerous man.

Andreotti isn't dangerous.

He's daring.

That's quite a different thing.

Is there anything I should know

about him?

Yes, his hands. Watch them closely.

If he twiddles his thumbs,

he thinks you're intelligent.

If he plays with his ring,

it means he disagrees

with what you're saying.

If he rhythmically taps

his fingertips together,

it means you'll be dismissed

within the next five minutes.

What about when his eyes

suddenly dilate?

I don't know, no one does.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Giulio, it's midnight,

we have to go.

Don't forget you're leaving tomorrow.

Yes, Livia.

- Thank you for coming, Andreotti.

- Goodbye, Paolo.

MOSCOW. THE KREMLIN

Hello, I'm the Premier.

I'm more important,

I'm his wife.

- Did you go to play cards?

- Yes.

I wore the coat

that Saddam Hussein gave you.

Marisa loved it

and asked where I bought it.

I was a bit hesitant to say because

it seemed like I was boasting.

- How's Gorbachov?

- State Secret.

Is that birthmark on his head

unsightly?

I don't mind it.

Are you going to bed now?

First I have to do

some Cossack dancing.

- Say "trimarri".

- "Tvimavvi"

- Say "vrigliari"

- "Vigliavi". That's enough.

Goodnight, Giulio.

What will they remember

about you, Honourable Mr Andreotti?

I don't intend to rake up

your dull career,

that's not a crime.

What will they remember about you?

A cold organizer: Inscrutable,

incapable of doubts or thrills.

Incapable of pity.

What will they remember about you?

Postscript:

The Pope did ever so little,

perhaps he'll feel guilty.

Your government's immobility damages

your race for the presidency.

The government's about to fall,

but it shouldn't happen like this.

Better to bluff it than snuff it.

Politically, you're naive.

Naivety and intelligence

always go together.

- Are you calling me a bastard?

- Of course not.

You're angry because I didn't defend

you from Cossiga's accusations.

That's water under the bridge.

I couldn't oppose Cossiga,

we've been arguing for months.

I'm just trying to see things

from a political viewpoint.

You always want to talk

political strategies.

I, on the other hand,

have a dreadful migraine today.

Yes, but you always have a migraine.

Remind Fiorenzo about Tedax.

Let's make sure it stays

in the pharmaceutical codex.

Amintore...

Good morning ma'am.

I'm well, thank you. How about you?

Go ahead.

Actually it's not true.

I'm not very good

at making recommendations.

I hate lies and I don't tell them.

I've never believed

one can divide humanity

into two groups:
Angels and demons.

We're all average sinners.
