Perfect Strangers Page #4

Synopsis: On a warm summer evening, a loving couple, Rocco, a plastic surgeon and Eva, a therapist is expecting his long-lasting friends to share a pleasant evening over dinner. Everything is in order: the first course is ready, the roast is in the oven and the table is set. Without a doubt, this is going to be a gathering of true friends and the waiting comes to an end when the first couple arrives. The bell rings and it is Lele and Carlotta, followed subsequently by Cosimo and Bianca; the only one missing is Peppe, their friend who is still single. Before long, the group is complete and without any delay, they begin the feast. Surely, this is a nice but somewhat usual dinner, when suddenly someone makes a proposition: to place their mobile phones on the table and like a Russian roulette, whatever arrives (texts, WhatsApp messages, calls) they would share it with the others. Clearly, this uncommon truth or dare game has no point among friends who share everything with each other, nevertheless,

Rocco would rather swallow his,

wouldn't you, love ?

That's not true. Here.

You'll find a few tits and asses,

but all tools of the trade.

So you're saying

that none of us has a secret ?

- All saints, apart from Diego ?

- Eva, what...

- What secrets could we have ?

- We know each other too well.

Yes, let's hope there are some secrets

or what a bore !

- Let's play a game then.

- What kind of game ?

- We'll find out.

- What ?

Come on, we'll all put

our phones on the table.

- Then what ?

- While we're eating,

texts, WhatsApp messages, calls,

whatever arrives, we share it.

- We don't have any secrets.

- What sort of game is that ?

- It might be fun.

- Think so ?

- Yes.

- Come on ! Let's do it.

- Do what ?

- This is mine.

- Of course, Lucilla's at home.

- I'd take part anyway.

- Not even your mom calls you.

- What kind of game is this, Eva ?

- Afun game.

- I don't think so.

Got something to hide ?

I'm worried that

you might have something to hide.

I don't want to know

ifyou're cheating.

If I were cheating,

I wouldn't have suggested this game.

Or you are

and you want to be found out.

There's this psychological mechanism

according to which...

serial-killers do all they can

to get found out.

Let's do. We can stop ifwe get bored.

Yes, it's like when we played

truth or dare as kids.

So what ? We used to jerk off

together as kids too.

- I didn'tjerk offwith you.

- No, you did it alone.

- Cosimo, put your phone on the table.

- Huh ?

Get your phone out.

- Should I be worried ?

- No ! Of course not !

Here you go, it's not a problem.

Are we really doing this ?

It's rude to keep phones

on the table while eating.

- Yes, Diego always switched his off.

- Lele leaves his face down.

- What ?

- You leave it face down.

Think I haven't noticed ?

It's not intentional.

I pull out my phone and place it down.

Ifyou scratch the screen

it costs 200 euros to replace it.

- 50 in Chinatown.

- Let's scratch it then.

Look here, look...

I'll put it face up.

I'll get mine.

But I'm warning you...

- If mom calls, I'm not answering.

- If the allergic dog client calls,

I'm not answering it,

otherwise it's all yours.

- Come on, let's see what happens.

- You do agree this is really stupid ?

- It's really stupid.

- F***ing stupid, come on, guys !

Dad ?

- Sofia.

- Hi, Sofia !

- Hello, everyone.

- She gets prettier every day.

- She takes after her mother.

- Can you come here ?

Excuse me.

Can I have some money, please ?

- Why didn't you ask in there ?

- Not in front of mom.

- What happened ?

- The usual.

You argued ?

- How old is Sofia ?

- 17 in June.

I remember when we celebrated
