Bring the camera for an audition.

- Your name again?

- Luciano.

- Last name?

- Ciotola.

- Where are you from?

- Naples.

- What do you do in life?

- I sell fish.

I run a fish stand.

- How come Big Brother?

- My kids pushed me.

If it works out,

so much the better...

Yes, hello, what is it?

Sure, of course.

In Rome? Sure, of course.

When, more or less?

Yes, I can go to Rome.

Alright, thank you.

So you'll let me know.

Okay, fine, goodbye.

They called me from Big Brother,

just now.

We're going to Rome

for an audition.

- Can I come in?

- Ma?

- Hello.

- Hi, Grandma.

I brought sausages

with broccoli, eggplant,

macaroni omelet.

I'll put it all in containers.

You look good, stop.

You've been at this all morning!

Of course, I have to decide

what to wear!

I'll wear my green pants,

you wear your white ones.

- And on top 7

- Something that matches me.

Mary, I don't know.

Wait.

This one's light, if we walk a lot

it won't stick to you

and looks good on you.

- I'm Luciano Ciotola.

- Here to see...?

Beppe Arena.

Have a seat,

we'll take you inside in a moment.

Thank you.

May I sit down?

Follow me, folks, we're going inside.

Where are the auditions?

- Follow me, you'll see.

- Not there.

They're taking me that way,

see you later.

I made a huge one before.

- Well '?

- All set.

I did like you said,

it was good advice.

I told them everything,

even about the past.

I'm still a little...

It was really terrific.

A psychologist helped me,

he began asking me questions...

you wanna know?

I started talking...

- Good for you, well done.

- We'll let you know.

That's the psychologist.

- Which one?

- This short guy here.

He helped me, he pushed me to talk.

You know, when I get going,

there's no holding me back.

The most incredible thing is

everybody else took 5-10 minutes,

and they kept me an hour!

I was awesome!

I said things

I never even told my Pa.

It was really amazing.

I bet they're still talking about me.

They said "Stop, that's just fine".

They looked at me like this.

- Stunned?

- Yeah, like this.

I shocked them.

Let's go, girls.

Papa said he'd do the tryout

and he did, see?

Yes, it was a real live tryout.

I blew them away!

They didn't say so,

but it's a sure thing.

Put Ma on.

You just can't imagine,

I shocked them.

They were stunned,

didn't say a word.

Put Aunt Rosaria on.

Auntie, you can't imagine!

Auntie, you gotta go on TV too!

Congratulations, lots and lots I.

Thanks a million.

Here you go, all the best.

I'm giving fish away today.

Don't worry.

Luciano's crazy this morning,

he's givin' fish away!

- Congratulations, are you happy?

- Thanks.

Did they call?
