Lost in Florence Page #3

Maybe you stay here,

I go, I'll see you at home, ok?

Ahh, it was nice

to meet you, Concetta.

Welcome to our family.

I remember at the wedding,

you guys were talking about

moving to Rome.

Yeah.

But I still can't afford it.

Anna stayed in this country

to be with me,

and years later,

we're still living

in my mom's place.

It's a disgrace.

Just like our economy,

a disgrace.

I struggle every day

for a few more Euros.

What do I get?

Come on, "the euro,"

what is the euro?

It's the Deutschmark,

that what it is.

- Ciao!

- Hey, sister.

Hey, easy.

Sorry, I have to take this.

Pronto!

Ciao, Ercole.

Ciao, Stefania.

You're not used

to drinking grappa?

No, it's one more thing

I'm getting used to.

I'm sorry I didn't

remember you from the wedding.

It's fine, really.

I didn't even speak English

at that time.

- You speak great now.

- Thank you.

I actually started

with that visit,

I mean to learn English,

and to love America.

- Really?

- Un-huh.

What do you love about America?

No, I can't tell you this.

- You don't want to tell me?

- No.

Why?

- It's embarrassing.

- It can't be that bad.

- No, really!

- Tell me. I want to know.

Please.

Alright, it started with you.

- Me?

- Un-huh.

I told you it was embarrassing.

It was at the wedding.

I had this teenager

crush for you.

You were really handsome,

and you had this

beautiful blonde girlfriend.

So I thought you could be

a boxer or a wrestler.

I asked Gianni and he told me

you were a football player.

So I started to follow

American football.

C'mon, really?

I don't believe this story.

No, it's true.

I'm serious.

Do you want to know the first

English words that I learned?

Sure.

Alright, they were "blitz,"

"sack," "linebacker"...

Ok, I'm a wide receiver so

these are not my favorite words.

I know that.

But the next were better:

"Sweep,"

"cutback,"

"reverse" and "flea-flicker."

These words are much better,

trust me.

Did you ever play any sports?

I tried.

I played soccer, but I'm bad.

Then I played volleyball,

but I'm bad too.

So I decided to watch it,

and now I watch football,

and I love it.

And I love Calcio storico.

And you love Paolo?

He's a nice person.

He's a really lovely

and honest man.

And he loves me.

He's just a little bit

old-fashioned.

Do you know who this is?

Yeah...

It's David.

Not this one.

The other one.

Oh...

No.

It's you.

- That's me?

- Uh-huh.

It's Ercole.

Hercules?

Yes.

Do you know he had

to complete 12 missions

before he could be free.

I did not know that.

Come quickly.

Wow!

We have this sky fire

every year on this day.

It's for the festival

of San Giovanni,
