He'd like to see you,

if you want.

How many times have I told you?

You don't have to be that smart

to understand.

I've told you a hundred times.

And what's more, with all my stuff.

- I didn't do it on purpose.

- Just as well!

Just get lost, will you?

Rina...

- lemon and...

- sugar.

Whites!

If you put some vodka in,

I'll get it in too!

Come on Rina, you did the right thing.

I'll do it with the sheets too,

I'll make the beds pink.

- What happened?

- Nothing, a red top.

Yes, with my whites.

You'd better fix it,

I want it to be white for tomorrow.

You give these to Eloisa.

She won't sing your praises!

I wish she would sing,

Miss Golden Voice.

- I wonder if she can still sing.

- Why "Golden Voice"?

Eloisa Baratta, a promising

pop star in '95.

- In '96.

- She came 2nd at Castrocaro.

- Atwo-year career.

- Yes, on her back.

On local TV channels, not Sanremo!

She sang with this sad Emilian band.

For a period, she even worked

as an actress.

She played Serena Grandi's friend

in a thriller, a B-movie.

She's had more men than

Vivian Leigh.

You know the nympho

in "Gone With the Wind"?

- Scarlet O'Hara was a nympho?

- Yes, I read it somewhere.

Anyway, Eloisa tells loads of lies.

She had plenty of men before Max,

that's for sure.

But she had a kid with Max.

They were always splitting up.

- He was a penniless musician.

- A cocaine addict.

And married too!

When they found Lucio, her kid,

she was in a bar, wearing a lame dress

and drinking a gin and tonic.

She said she didn't know anything.

Then she confessed.

Then she withdrew it.

Finished your session

with Dr. Scalia?

- It wasn't a session.

- Another warning?

Great.

Maybe he just wants to see me.

I was chatting with some girls

about Ray Charles and his wife.

- Have you ever seen her?

- No.

Neither has he!

- That's a good one.

- Good? It's brilliant!

- See what you're like?

- Tell me.

Bitter.

Listen Eloisa, I screwed up.

In the wash, your white shorts...

I prefer them like this.

Thanks, Rina.

Thanks, sweetie.

Mimmo!

Luigi!

You're here!

- When did you arrive?

- Yesterday.

Shall we go inside?

How are you?

It's tough.

- It's tough, Mario.

- Luigi...

I thought about it a lot.

I think that God

has a big problem.

I don't think He's been able

to fully separate...

good from evil.

So, to express His torment

He makes us experience...

this condition.

And through prayer...

we can...

share this problem with Him.

It's not easy to separate good

from evil, this is why...

you are unable to forgive her,

but that's precisely how

compassion can lead us...

to forgive that which

we should have the right to punish.
