Do you have a favorite brand

to suggest?

You'll find the right one.

Try it when it's cold

and when it's heated.

The water must always be clear,

have no smell,

be pleasant to the taste

and be absolutely low

in alkaline

How do you know all this?

Maybe I knew someone...

who knew how to bake very well

Then you must remember

something

If I'm late

at the police station,

would you put my kids to bed

after yours?

- Want Giambo to go with you?

- He is just what I need...

I'll take two minutes,

wait for me here

No, you could have brought them

a little later

for closing time!

Sorry, I'll bring them early

next time, life is a mess at home

Send your husband if you're in

a mess, or don't you trust him?

It's you I don't trust!

He works nights anyway, so...

Excuse, excuses. If I had the

chance, I'd show him a good time

Do it! You'd get him off

my back then!

- Trouble is, he'd never do it

- Oh yes he would

- Isn't Giorgio enough for you?

- Still?

After 15 years,

it's incest now

- Irene, the cash register

- I'm coming!

I can't,

I'm in a rush

Relax a bit or your brain

will blow up, honey

By the way, the pies

aren't selling very well

What can I do for you then?

That's my favorite question.

Make sure it's good

Be serious,

tell me what you want

How should I know?

Invent something, shock me

Make something new

You think that's easy.

'Bye

Pardon me, I think your

grandfather isn't feeling well

I was standing by him and he

was saying some strange things

- Then he walked off

- He's not my grandfather

Sorry, it's just that

I saw him with you before...

I live in the building

across from you

Really?

I don't know who he is,

we found him in the street

The police said

they'd inform us

if they find out anything

Where did he go now?

I met him

there in front of my car

Excuse me, but you took him

to the police

and they left him

in your care?

- Impossible, right?

- It seems a bit strange to me

You're right I wasn't the one

who brought him anyway

Well, he can't be too far

He's not well

- What's wrong with him?

- His memory is gone

What's the name?

Giovanna

I'm Lorenzo.

But, I meant his name

Oh! Simone

I should have taken him to the

police before going to the pub

Now what can I do with him...

I can't chase him around

all night

You've been very kind,

but I'd better go home now

Simone, what are you doing?

Why did you get out of the car?

My life is already a mess,

you are just what I need!

Come back to the car

I'll take you where you want

We can go ask again,

maybe they've found out

- where you lives

- I'll take you there

No, thanks anyway

My car is right here.

Two people are better than one
