- Let it boil.

Will you...

You're very nice, Lucia.

That's nice, Lucia.

Okay, but Jonathan's got some food

cooking for Claire.

I can...

Come on, Claire.

All right, now it's burning! Now it's burning.

Food?

Can you smell the food, Claire?

- Jonathan!

- Damn it.

Crap.

- You okay?

- Yeah, I'm okay.

Great, blasting sea bass.

Okay.

Do you...

Dinner's served.

- It's good.

- Good. Thanks.

Well,

you're obviously not feeling satisfied.

I didn't say that.

No, I told you that our age difference

would catch up to us.

I did warn you.

Honey, that's not it.

It has nothing to do with it.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah.

I've been to your sets.

I've seen those perfectly chiseled

twenty-somethings

- with their abdomens of steel.

- They're gay.

Half of them are gay.

The other half's gay.

They just don't know it yet. Okay?

It's difficult, I suppose,

with these hormone shots and everything.

It just makes it so... What's the word?

- Clinical?

- Clinical, yeah.

Clinical is the word.

Well, but it's okay. I mean, I suppose,

it's just bound to happen anyway.

I mean, this is what happens

to couples, you know,

who've been married for a while.

The passion wears thin.

And we used to laugh.

Somehow we just have to establish

a method to bring back the laughter.

I love you.

Well, I love you, too. But it's not about love.

It's about the thrill. It's about, for example,

when you walked in the door, I should have

- become Roberto to your Lucia. I...

- It was a dumb idea.

No, I mean...

It's not necessarily a bad idea.

I mean, in theory...

Honey, enough with the theory.

All right, all right, enough with the theories.

Hey,

I want to make a toast.

- To your new campaign.

- Thank you.

Good luck with that,

and I just want to say maybe

sometime when you're out of town,

and you're lonely

in one of your hotel rooms,

a certain Italian gentleman will turn up.

And he'll do all kinds of

very bad things to you.

To Roberto.

These brain scans tell us who is suffering

and who is not.

Now let me just say

that I don't believe that there is

any one person in this room

who can claim for themselves

the title of "normal." I know I can't.

I definitely have a touch of crazy in me.

We all do.

Delays in treatment

can lead to multiple personality disorder,

serious paranoid delusional states,

violent rages,

suicide, self-abuse,

rape,

and murder.

Son of Sam,

Charles Manson,

Aileen Wuornos,

Jeffrey Dahmer.

And it all begins here.

- Hey, you.

- Hi!

- You have a long day?

- Just like all of them.

- Did you eat?

- Yeah,

I grabbed something from the set

before I left.

- Don't forget to eat.

- Yes, Dad.

- How was your day?
