Letters to Juliet Page #3

---

and l'm still beating you?

-Congratulations.

-What? Yeah. What?

l mean, how was Verona?

How was it without me?

Empty? Half-empty? Completely empty?

Half-empty.

-l met the Secretaries of Juliet.

-Juliet?

-Like Juliet Capulet?

-Yeah.

There are these women that call themselves

the Secretaries of Juliet,

and they write letters to people

that write letters to Juliet.

And then these secretaries,

they work for the city of Verona,

and, like, all these people,

these brokenhearted women

all over the world,

come and they write letters

-and leave them on the wall.

-What's in the bag?

l don't know.

So, they post these letters.

They post them on the wall

in Juliet's courtyard,

and then these secretaries come back

with this basket

and they retrieve the letters every day.

And then they write back, as Juliet,

to all the letters

that have return addresses on them.

Mmm-hmm.

This is theirjob.

l mean, it's so unbelievable.

This is their passion.

lt's what they do every day.

Mmm. Mmm.

-They literally will work all day, every day.

-Mmm! Oh, my God!

-And they've been doing it for years.

-Sophie. Wow. This is incredible!

And they...

This is incredible.

This is incredible. Oh, my God.

This is great. Try this, try this.

You have to try this. Oh, my God.

No... Give it a good bite. Come on.

Your Victor is very passionate.

Yes, yes, l know.

But he seems to think that he's ltalian

since we got here.

And although imitation is, of course,

the highest form of flattery,

his imitations are not very good.

Okay, that woman is amazing.

l mean, she's incredible.

She's incredible. l think l'm in love.

-Absolutely.

-You're in love with her?

-Yeah. Yeah.

-Really?

Okay. Just say no.

Just say no, and l won't do it, really.

l mean, l'm dying to do it, but l won't.

Okay. What?

Angelina's offered

to teach me some secrets today.

-Okay.

-Yeah.

Okay, right now and all day?

Like, right now. That's crazy, right?

l mean, now. That's amazing.

l mean, she's making

risotto all'Amarone, right? Yeah?

-Good risotto.

-You see?

You see, it's, like, 300 years old

or something, her recipe. lt's fantastic.

Okay. That's great. But...

So, no Lake Garda then today?

Oh, yeah. Lake Garda...

l mean, Lake Garda's been there

for, like, 500,000 years, you know.

And right now,

Angelina's offered to help me.

And, you know,

l mean, l'm here, we're here, you know.

-We're having a good time.

-You, Paul Newman,

you want to work, you have to watch!

You see? l mean, you see,

l became Paul Newman. All right?

Okay, what shall l do?

l mean, my hands are tied.

l don't know. l don't know.

You could help us if you like.

-- Yeah! Yeah. The letter thing, right?
