I'm sorry, I'm taking up

so much of your time

Don't worry about it,

I'm not working tomorrow

- They're coming!

- Who's coming?

Don't get upset

- Let me out. I have to get out!

- No! What are you doing?

Simone, wait!

- I'll go with him

- Okay, I'll catch up

No, please! Let me go!

Lorenzo! He's not feeling well!

Simone, what's wrong?

Nothing

I just need...

to sit down for a bit

Good evening, Mario.

I'll have the usual, please

- Sorry, I'm not Mario

- Then have Mario come

No one named Mario works here

-What do you usually have?

- Vermouth

- I'll have a beer, please

- Make that two

Who are you?

Lorenzo. We were in the car

together just now

We met in front of the pub,

remember?

No.

What kind of work do you do?

I work in a bank

Do you like it?

I guess so. I'm about to become

a branch manager

Your wife will be pleased

Well...I'm not married

You're not married at your age?

Why not?

I don't know

Maybe I haven't found

the right person yet

What about you?

- What about me?

- Do you like your job?

- Do you like chicken?

-Yes, it's alright

I work in a chicken factory

I'm in accounting.

And I don't like it

I like your cakes very much.

The ones you bring to the pub

How did you know I make them?

I've seen you quite often

and I go to the pub a lot

And like I told you,

I live across from you

You've never seen me?

Maybe I have

Maybe in the neighborhood

Or maybe from my window

I don't know, what with

everything I have to do...

- Sir?!

- Oh, excuse me

Have you seen Sara? They're

even taking babies away!

Please help me find her,

please!

Help me find her

Remember to take the money

out of your jacket

These are Filippo's.

They might be small for you

I just need time to wash

your things, put them here

I don't like the sweater

You haven't even tried it on

I don't like the color

Alright, I'll get another one

for you

This robe is for you...

it's blue!

I'll take your clothes

to the cleaners tomorrow

Do you understand?

- Hello?

- Giovanna? It's Lorenzo

Sorry to call so late,

but I looked up your number

and I saw you were still awake

Yes

After I left you at your car,

I lost you and

I just wanted to know

if he's alright

Yes, he's taking a shower

I couldn't..

I couldn't tell you before

what he said to me

when he stopped me

So, here we are

My friends had gone

and I was getting into my car

At a certain point,

he was almost on top of me

He spoke to me...as if

he were talking to someone else

He...it was actually as if

he were declaring his love

I don't remember

the words exactly now

"I'll always love you"

More or less

that's what he said

And then?

"We have to love each other
