- No, just to come.

- Not even how it happened?

- No.

- Was it a car?

- I don't know!

They only said to come.

- Listen.

- Tell me.

- Are you a little fond of me?

- Of course.

Even though I'm not your dad?

I'm fond of lots of people

even though they're not my dad.

- You're right.

- I know.

Listen...

No, nothing.

Vincenzo?

- I want to get married.

- That's lovely!

It's lovely to get married.

- Can people get married at 16?

- Meaning?

You're a lawyer, by law

can people get married at 16?

It depends. Why the question?

Because in a month

I'm getting married.

Why do you two love each other?

You don't know.

- Of course we do.

- Then tell me.

Because...

Because we found each other.

In other words?

He was looking for me

and I was looking for him and...

We found each other!

That's love, meeting the person

you've been looking for

and being convinced it will last...

all your lives.

That you'll be together

all your lives.

That's what Marta and I want too.

For three days I've had soup,

mashed potatoes and an apple.

In the hospital,

apples taste like mashed potatoes,

mashed potatoes

taste like soup and apples too.

I was right,

the whore had crossed on red.

She went home

with just a lump on her head.

She came to see me yesterday.

#She's a lovely woman, we chatted,#

#she invited me to dinner. #

#I said I'd think about it. #

If you need money, don't hesitate.

I don't have big problems,

least of all is money.

I'm rich, but no thanks to me.

My father, who died seven years ago,

invented the plastic ball

for washing machine detergents.

Every time you buy one,

you contribute to my well-being.

And then there's Gianni.

He was a gift from Francesca,

my ex-girlfriend.

He'll show you how egocentric,

selfish and boring you are.

One more thing:
go f*** off.

I don't want a dog!

You have to take him for walks,

talk to other dog owners.

- What's the name?

- Gianni.

- Not you, the dog.

- The dog's name is Gianni.

I'm Gianni too.

Colanzi?

You're hiding? You've been released.

I couldn't stay for dinner, could I?

Guys, my mother.

Ezio, sweetheart!

Sweetie, come here,

give your mom a kiss!

The net's cute.

- What's this f***ing car?

- I bought it yesterday, like it?

Naturally, she benefits

from the plastic ball too.

- You've been in the sun?

- It shows?

You look like Nelson Mandela.

Strap in,

when I hit the gas, it takes off.

Mom!

Hello?

It's Anna Agosti,

the one you ran down on your bike.

The one who crossed on red.

The invitation is still valid,

this time you can't say no.

We're giving a dinner party tomorrow,

there'll be other guests too.

The problem is

my son wants to get married,
