At a book reading, a woman gives him her address, and the next day they meet and take a country-side drive to a local Italian village.

Go, I'll wait! Go!

Yes, you're in my office now?

''Well, then...

Pull the drawer, the middle one,

right from your left.

It has three drawers

and it's the middle one.

Then, pull!

- It is empty.

- Pull, you idiot.

Pull, at the bottom.

It's empty, why don't

you believe me?

Yes, I...

If I come home and find it, I...

I'll kill you!

No, no, no!

In the front!

Look hard, try to find it!

Wait, I'm putting the phone

down for a moment...

Yes. Then you found it?

It is at the bottom.

Well spotted!

Now just sit down to study, okay?

I still do not know...

do not call me.

And don't even call Marie.

But you're coming back tonight?

I don't know, really,

I don't know...

Get to work! Hurry up! Study...

Dumb!

The certified copy of his father.

There is nothing to do!

He wants, he wants to, can not hear

anyone, just does his own thing!

With children there is

always a solution.

Yes, but I can not find it,

and you're never...

One of them has to be severe,

so the other can be sweeter.

A good and bad.

If there is one person who

plays the two roles it's...

impossible, I...

And I'm supposed to play the

role of the bad, right?

You do not need to

pray, my dear.

The lady at the coffee shop said...

in life you have a husband,

good or bad,

let it be.

I told him that we got married

here fifteen years ago

and we are back to celebrate

the anniversary.

- Come on.

- No thanks.

He's dying to take a picture, come!

He asked me if we are happy.

And I said, yes, very!

Please! Otherwise I'll be really

embarrassed by...

- No.

- Come on.

Sir,

join us for a photograph

sorry

my wife would be really happy

I'm sorry...

Ok, as you want.

We're waiting for you...

for a long time.

Ok, we're coming soon.

Please, I insist,

come and join us!

You can't say no,

it's my wedding day!

You told him good things?

I do not understand why

that ironic tone.

You're just like your son.

I like it.

What do you like?

Not having to explain

anything or convince you.

I wonder how you can

convince yourself.

You're a real art expert, right?

Do not see it as a work of art.

It is the subject

that I like...

The subject?

I like how she leans her

head on his shoulder.

It's amazing how often

you are...

so banal.

For me it is amazing how

often you are so...

irresponsible.

Irresponsible, me?

But this man has nothing

to do but

protect this woman.

For this he was made immortal.

Immortalized?

You can not be

immortalized in this way,

it's ridiculous!

You do not understand...

Look, I'm not going to

share this debate.

Share with a friend, you know

what it means to share?

Have you ever shared?

Come on, you're really

exaggerating.
