Perfect Strangers Page #2

Synopsis: On a warm summer evening, a loving couple, Rocco, a plastic surgeon and Eva, a therapist is expecting his long-lasting friends to share a pleasant evening over dinner. Everything is in order: the first course is ready, the roast is in the oven and the table is set. Without a doubt, this is going to be a gathering of true friends and the waiting comes to an end when the first couple arrives. The bell rings and it is Lele and Carlotta, followed subsequently by Cosimo and Bianca; the only one missing is Peppe, their friend who is still single. Before long, the group is complete and without any delay, they begin the feast. Surely, this is a nice but somewhat usual dinner, when suddenly someone makes a proposition: to place their mobile phones on the table and like a Russian roulette, whatever arrives (texts, WhatsApp messages, calls) they would share it with the others. Clearly, this uncommon truth or dare game has no point among friends who share everything with each other, nevertheless,

- No, it's for Peppe.

- Thanks.

- But Lucilla's not here.

- Right.

But I am.

And you were saying... what ?

- The usual things.

- Such as ?

Just... we don't know her,

so we were trying to guess.

Will she be tall, short...

The usual, no...

Is she a redhead, brunette...

- Blonde.

- We even thought she might be gray.

- Gray ?

- Yes.

Leave him alone !

- Come on, the eclipse has started.

- Let's go !

- I can see two.

- There are two.

- I can see two because I can't see.

- Use this to focus it...

Now I can see it ! It's lovely.

Lucilla's a nice name.

- Peppe and Lucilla. Sounds good.

- Yes.

About Lucilla, why don't you

tell us something about her ?

- What do you want to know ?

- Are you in love ?

How do I know...

Eva, how do you know

ifyou're in love ?

- Why are you asking me ?

- You study these things.

I'll tell you. Ifyou talk to her

for 30 minutes a day, you're in love.

- What if I talk for 60 minutes ?

- Then you're madly in love.

Then you stop talking,

which means you're married.

- How long have you been together ?

- Awhile, a few months.

Great ! The first sparks.

Are you ablaze ?

- Are you ?

- I'm ablaze.

- He's ablaze.

- I'm ablaze.

Why did you choose tonight

to introduce us ?

I didn't choose, itjust happened.

Do you remember the evening

I met you all ?

- I was so anxious !

- Why ?

- She was so tense, poor girl.

- Meeting Cosimo's friends !

All for this sweet deal here...

From that point ofview,

Lucilla wasn't worried.

- Lucky her.

- That's why she has a fever !

- I changed outfits 10 times that day.

- 20.

But apparently it went well,

I feel like one of the gang now.

- Who, you ?

- One of the gang ?

No way !

Darling, look at their faces.

They're teasing.

- They're teasing.

- Of course we are.

- You're our favorite.

- Cosimo, you got lucky.

It wasn't luck.

Hands off, surgeon.

- Leave me alone !

- Hands off.

How many do you see ?

Two.

- This sauce is good. What is it ?

- Capers and olives.

This summer we'll bring a ton of capers

back from the seaside.

Here they charge 7.50 euros

for a jar this size.

Damn ! I should grow capers

on my land in hills.

- Capers in the hills ?

- Yeah, 7.50 euros !

Please, you're not growing

capers now !

Laugh all you want,

it's a good business.

- Any news on the house in Salina ?

- Not yet.

- First trip without Chiara and Diego.

- I spoke to her, she says hello.

- How is she ?

- Miserable, back with her parents.

Her husband's having an affair

with a girl their daughter's age...

- It'll take time to get over it.

- She's nearing menopause, almost 50.

- She'll never get over it.

- I have lots of patients like her.
