The Unknown Woman Page #2

...or substitute old housekeepers?

It's not easy

and for a foreigner it's even worse.

They all have trusted help.

- Morning!

- Morning!

Your friend Gina's been there forever,

she'll never be sent away.

Stairs, stairs, stairs, stairs...

Hello, Gina!

How did the party go?

Well, just like

every child's birthday:

...the more kids have fun,

the more adults think of old age.

Did she like the gift?

- Her mother was astonished.

- And the girl?

She didn't understand it.

Taken with her new toys...

But no matter,

one day she'll realize.

- She got another bump on the head.

- What?

She has a rare disease

inhibiting her defense mechanisms.

She's always bruised.

If something falls on her,

she doesn't protect herself.

If she falls,

she doesn't stop herself.

- There must be some cure.

- Doctors say there isn't.

She just has to be careful.

There's worse.

- I have to go now.

- See you later. - Bye.

- Goodbye.

- Bye.

Yes, she'll do fine.

You're Irena?

Yes.

- Sojourner's permit?

- All in order.

- 32... Are you married, children?

- Married, no children.

- Your husband?

- He works in Ukraine.

- Can you cook?

- Yes.

What, for example?

Cutlets, pasta with pesto,

spaghetti Bottarga style...

...fruit pies of all kinds.

- How strange.

- Don't you like pies?

- No, the contrary!

- Do you have experience

with small children? - Yes.

- Have you taken care of them often?

- Very often.

You sound perfect!

Gina and the porter

have spoken very highly of you.

Let's do a trial period,

then we'll see.

- When do you want me to start?

- Is Monday alright?

Perfect, thank you.

- Ah! One very important thing!

- Yes.

- Can you drive?

- Absolutely!

- Is this okay?

- Better.

- Now into second.

- Yes.

- Did we have to come here?

- Not a soul yesterday.

Turn at the roundabout.

Just go away!

Careful! Want an accident?

I like you! You and me

will do great things together.

So I want a stage name for you.

Something special.

Giorgia.

Giorgia,

like the song.

# Giorgia, Giorgia. #

Like it?

Untie me, even just one hand,

and I'll answer.

You've got great eyes.

Hello?

Hello?

Who is it? Hello?

This is the laundry room.

Sorry for the mess...

The washer leaks when it spin-dries.

I have to get it fixed.

There's a small problem

with the hood.

When you turn it on from here,

you have to hit it or it won't start.

- Where do I turn off the gas?

- Oh, yeah, sure...

For the first weeks...

...can you work on Thursdays too?

- Of course.

Do I change the sheets here

every week too?

No, this was Gina's room,

no one sleeps there now.

I work here.

For no reason whatever

you set foot in here...

...or touch anything in my absence.
