L'attesa Page #3

When Giuseppe invited me to come here

we hadn't spoken to each other in weeks.

He surprised me.

Our relationship was dissolving,

that's why he was sad.

Rosa called again this morning.

We argued, I won't speak to her.

Morning.

Good morning. Did you sleep well?

Come in, breakfast is ready.

Since I didn't welcome you properly,

I'd like to prepare something.

- No need.

- I want to.

- Can I help?

- No, Pietro will.

It will all be ready for you.

Can you buy those things

I wrote down, please?

I'm off, so I don't ruin the surprise.

Excuse me...

if you want to see the town,

come with me, I'm going shopping.

Thanks, but we got back late last night.

Unless you need help, I'll just stay here.

How do you say papillon?

Papillon...

- You stopped competing?

- Si years ago.

Why?

Too many rules, too many impositions.

- What brings you to Sicily?

- I'm waiting for my boyfriend.

You wait all day at the lake for him?

I'm staying with his mother.

We talk on the phone

but he has things to do.

He'll be back for Easter.

He'll be here for the holiday.

Let me see it.

What?

How long have you known each other?

Well, more or less forever.

But if I hadn't told him,

he'd still think I was shy with girls.

No way, I knew he was gay right away!

Don't say that or he'll kill you!

I was concerned at first.

I'd pick up girls

just to introduce them to him.

- You sacrificed yourself.

- He sacrificed himself...

- Do you have a boyfriend?

- From Monday through Friday.

That's his mantra.

- Is it true or just for show?

- Just for show.

- This pasta is divine.

- Thanks.

It's easy to make.

Why is it dark?

I used some carob flour.

We saw a valley of carobs.

- What are they?

- They're gorgeous trees.

They produce brown fruit.

They dry on the branch

instead of falling off.

Jeanne...

Drinking?

Just a bit.

To the girl who's become a woman.

What are you two secretly saying?

When Jeanne got here,

she was like a little girl on a field trip,

shy...

polite...

but here we are with two strangers!

You're no longer a little girl

who doesn't drink!

Sometimes I forget!

They didn't seem dangerous.

- He's a bit dangerous.

- I'm not dangerous.

Pietro, Anna made some delicious food.

Good evening.

- Come sit.

- No, thanks.

I'm tired.

May I speak to you, ma'am?

Yes. Be right back.

Put on some music if you'd like.

Why are you doing this to her?

We're dining with two guests.

What's wrong with that?

What'll you tell her tomorrow

when Giuseppe doesn't return?

Tell her the truth.

Let her leave.

If you don't want to help with dinner,

you can go.

Good morning.

What are you doing?

Preparing for tomorrow.

- Can I help you?
