First Love Page #3

Synopsis: Vittorio is looking for a woman who matches his ideal. Through a classified ad he meets Sonia, a sweet, pleasant, intelligent girl. However, she weighs 125 pounds -- which according to Vittorio is way too much. A goldsmith by trade, Vittorio is obsessed with the desire to shape Sonia's body and mind as does a fire with gold. Almost imperceptibly Sonia becomes a passive participant and the relationship grows into a reciprocal masochistic game. When the two lovers isolate themselves in a country house in the Veneto hills, they dangerously lose touch with reality and the rest of the world.

I'll do it.

Thank you.

- We can close the deal.|- Good!

- 6, 7? How much?|- No, the price is an issue.

- 5?|- 3.

- What?!|- 3. - 3?!

- But we can do a large quantity.|- That doesn't even cover expenses!

Relax, they're watching.|They're important clients.

- 3 euros, Paolo!|- Take it easy, don't do that!

- We said 5, possibly even 6, 7...|- They are behind me!

I'm working for you,|I'm not getting a cut.

No cut, but your brand name|goes on it!

They know it's you, I'll introduce you.|What's the problem?

This is how I started too!

- Can I close? - Close it.|- It's important.

- Okay, three euro.|- Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.|Thank you.

- 50 and a half tonight.|- 50? - And a half.

- What's wrong?|- I would've guessed a bit more.

- No.|- I'm rarely wrong.

You're wrong,|grab the marker and write.

I'll write it down, but I think....

- It's 67 kilos.|- 60...

- 67.|- 67. 6-7.

It should be....|I weigh 68.

I weigh 68 on the one in my shop.

Let's try with weights|to see if this one's right..

..or the one at the shop is.

- The one at the shop is good.|- That doesn't mean it's exact.

- This weighs....|-....20.

It's right, let's add 20 more.

Doubling it up?

- In fact, 39 and....|- 950.

- 50 grams.|- 50 grams.

- Less.|- Less.

- That's not a little.|- It's not a lot either! - 50 grams...

Why is it so off?

- So off?|- It was perfect when I got it.

Everything drops with time.

Not much time has passed.

- I will fix it.|- Do you think..

..the scale could be off because|someone altered it on purpose?

- I don't think so. - Is it possible?|- Yes, everything's possible.

Is it hard or can anyone do it?

- You'd need a scale specialist.|- Really? - Yes.

- Are you sure?|- Yes.

- It's not that easy, is it?|- No, it's not that easy to do.

- Then make things easier for me!|- You too.

Don't eat when I'm not home.

- I told you I never eat!|- Please!

You ate them with your friends,|I'm sure.

I doubt you'd offer them some|and not eat any.

Yes or no?

- One. - If it were a cookie...|You ate it, right?

Did you eat it?

Sonia!

Did you eat it or not?|Just say yes.

- I had company, I probably ate one.|- You ate it?

See?

- I don't know... - Yes or no? Yes!|- You just said so.

See, you force me|to behave like this!

You think I enjoy it?

It's the principle that counts,|not eating one or ten.

It's not about the quantity.

If you do it once, you'll do it again,|and a third time,..

..then it'll become a habit.

And it must not.

Am I wrong?

- You like yourself more this way?|- Maybe a bit...

- Do you like yourself more?|- Yes, because you like me this way.

When you look in the mirror,|do you like yourself more?
