- Yes.

- Are you sure?

Good night.

Hurry up and eat!

I know, you don't want

to talk about it, are you outside?

No, it's the TV.

Have you talked to Lorenzo?

No, why?

Changing the subject?

I made it all up.

- You're not having an affair?

- No.

- Then why did you say so?

- I don't know.

I was pissed off because I didn't know about

Angelica's book, you two have your secrets.

You and I were friends

before I met Angelica.

Who you meet first doesn't matter.

- Anyway, I'm here for you.

- I know, forgive me.

I'm a pain in the ass sometimes.

- A lot.

- Goodbye.

- Was that Antonio?

- Yes, why?

- He was acting weird yesterday.

- Were you at the bank?

I bumped into him on the street.

- So?

- So, what?

Your building...

Did you get it?

I'll know tomorrow,

but things are looking good.

- How is it?

- I'm not done, no judgement yet.

A sneak preview!

Your friend's in love with

me. He copies me.

- But he writes well.

- He's in love because he copies you?

He gets his style from me,

but he's got his own spirit.

- What's it about?

- Love.

About how we always fall in love

with the wrong person.

- There are exceptions, right?

- Until proven differently.

- Isn't that a beautiful building?

- Yeah.

What's so funny?

You think a building's beautiful

only when it's covered.

I do, if I did the covering!

Know how many of us

were competing for this spot?

Whoever won it,

got eight other spots too.

- It cost me a lot.

- In bribes.

Roberta, no bribes,

what are you saying?

- You could be more supportive.

- I didn't say a word!

Didn't you!

Let's go to that bookshop, your

book's probably not on sale...

- But if it's there, we'll laugh!

- I love you. I love you.

Let's go.

- Ok.

- Let's go.

And I'm the drug addict!

Everything has to

be perfect today.

I got what I wanted, Paolo will get

Davide's approval, he promised me.

And Antonio came without his usual excuses,

so maybe I really saw things wrong.

Today I want us all to be

relaxed and happy.

F*** off Lorenzo,

you're morbid and suffocating.

You want to see us cooped

up in a cage and feed us birdseed.

I just proposed a trip.

Why go tell everyone it was my idea?

We haven't done anything

together for a long time.

It's not our fault if you

and thatjunkie joined us later...

...all of us have been friends for

ages. You can't even imagine...

...all the things we've done together.

- Don't come if you don't want to.

Can't you step off the

stage just once?

Lorenzo! Lorenzo

wait a minute. Listen to me.

She'll come anyway.

Are you mad?

I'll get over it.

Neval had her usual outburst,

I think Lorenzo didn't take it well.

Why did you have to talk,
