- What is that?

- It's limoncello.

We made this.

- You made it?

- Yeah.

We take the lemon, and we take

off the skin of the lemon,

and then we put in the bottle

with 3/4 of alcohol

and 1/4 of sugar.

Mm-hmm.

And you put the skin

of the lemon in the bottle,

and you leave it

until it's dried color.

And I forget the rest.

But just try it.

- Do you like it?

- I like it.

You got your ice cream.

Bravo.

My nephew.

Yes.

Hello.

Well, hello.

Hello.

Oh!

Ciao.

Ciao.

Veramente? No.

What?

He says,

"Take me home with you."

He does, does he?

Esattamente.

Ciao, piccolo, Ciao.

Ciao.

I run into you in the street

in Rome, and now we're here.

Didn't you have plans today?

Didn't you have something

you had to do?

So what?

If you smash

into something good,

you should hold on

until it's time to let go.

And now is not the time.

Not in my opinion.

No.

You have beautiful eyes,

Francesca.

I wish I could swim inside them.

What?

No. It's just that's

exactly what American women

think Italian men say.

I guess.

Thank you.

Marcello, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm really nervous, you know.

I was married for a long time.

And since then,

there hasn't been anybody.

Would you like to help me

change that?

You are asking me

to sleep with you?

Yes.

Hmm.

That is exactly

the kind of thing

we Italian men think

American women say.

Oh!

Yeah.

You honor me with your offer.

Francesca.

Yes?

I'm going to make love

all over you.

Okay.

Okay.

Ohh!

Yeah.

Mamma mia!

Che bella spalla.

- What is spalla?

- Shoulder.

And what do you call this?

La gola.

La gola.

Mm-hmm.

And this?

Il capezzolo.

Il capezzolo.

Uh-huh.

And this?

Esausto.

Exhausted?

Exhausted.

At least for the next 5 minutes.

Okay.

Okay.

Me too.

It's terrible that you bought

that villa in Cortona.

Why?

Because it's not in Positano,

and I am.

You have to promise

to come back here.

Promise me.

When?

Can you come this weekend?

I think so.

You think so?

Hmm.

You think so?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Thank you.

Thank you.

# I knew it, I knew it,

I knew it #

Whoo!

I still got it.

I still got it.

I still got it!

Thank God!

Oh, yeah.

Buongiorno.

Buongiorno!

Do I still look sad to you?

No.

Ladybugs, Katherine.

Lots and lots of ladybugs.

Lovely.

When do you see him again?

Tomorrow.

What?

What?

Oh!

Ha!

I would have told you

I was coming,

but you would have

talked me out of flying.

Oh, look at you!

God damn it, Frances.

- I...

- What?

I gotta go pee!

You must be so exhausted.

Oh!

Pbht! See this?

Tell me there's a baby in there.

Mm-hmm.

Big old baby in there.

Right now.

I'm with you.
