I have to grease three different

people, but I don't want Davide to know.

In fact I don't want

to be asked questions.

- I'll find a way.

- Thank you.

This money has to be back in a week.

Sure... Neval

has a great idea.

She wants us all to go

to Lipari in two weeks.

- Angelica's excited.

- She already knows?

Of course.

Leave a message if you like,

I might return your call,

... it all depends on my mood.

Neval, I've decided,

in two weeks we'll all go to Lipari.

I'll arrange things, as usual.

I've already told everyone,

so you and Roberto have to come.

- How was work?

- As usual, why?

- Me asking about you, is that odd?

- No.

You have to talk to Giulia about

school, it's becoming a problem.

- You're better at that.

- You should give her rules.

And I should be the one

who protects her when she disobeys.

- Why is it so hard for you?

- There's a reason why she disobeys.

Find it out, I don't want to be

my daughter's psychologist.

- What are you doing?

- Using a night cream.

Neval's pissed off with Lorenzo

and it's my fault.

He said the trip

was her idea, but he lied.

I didn't know, so I told Neval.

It's Lorenzo's fault, not yours.

Yes.

Why go so far away?

How about our usual place?

Maybe I have to go away...

...for a training course.

- Over the weekend?

The bank pays me double.

Lorenzo's acting odd, isn't he?

Maybe he and Paolo...

I don't even know who Paolo is.

Lorenzo wanted Davide to read

his short story, no matter what.

You know Lorenzo,

he'd help even a stranger.

Maybe he's in love with someone

else or maybe he wants Davide...

...to fall in love with Paolo.

- You make life so complicated!

It happens, sometimes a person

wants to be cheated on...

...and puts the other

in a position to do so.

- Will you stop?

- Why?

Nothing.

What's wrong?

Davide...

Is it Angelica?

Is it your work?

Change jobs, go on!

You still have time.

Look, no one ordered Angelica

to write that book.

Lorenzo too, started his job just to earn

some extra money, now he loves his work.

What book?

I gave her the idea to write

on how to quit smoking...

...didn't she tell you?

- She will.

Sure!

After you call her.

- I'm having an affair.

- What?

Wait!

- Eat mine, too.

- Throw it out if you want!

- No, they'll notice.

- I can't eat twice.

You can eat much

more than that.

- I'll tell Daddy.

- If you don't eat...

...you'll pay for it!

You know what that means, right?

This is unfair!

- Shut up!

- Signor Antonio! Signor Antonio!

- Yes, Rosy.

- The children are eating.

- Will you wait for your wife?

- Yes, Angelica will get home late.

- You can go, thank you.

- Will you watch the kids?
