function, elegance....
Proportionally strong...
enduring...
reliable.
And cost-effective.
You're talking to an architect's wife.
I wish I was talking | to an architect's mistress.
God, Caspasian!
Kracklite was never that forward.
-He was never that talented. | -Or that arrogant.
Still, you've taken your time.
I've been here for 10 weeks.
I would have thought, with your reputation, | you would have made a move before now.
Maybe I was waiting for a sign from you.
What kind of sign?
Putting on a little more weight...
becoming more Roman.
I've guessed.
What?
It's all right.
Have you told Kracklite?
-No. I haven't. | -Why not?
If you could guess that I was pregnant, | why couldn't he?
July 31. Dear Boulle...
the Italians are catching on at last. | They're actually beginning to like you...
though it doesn't seem | to make them work any faster.
Caspasian has already spent 400 million lire.
There seems to be very little to show for it.
Careful.
If we intend to open on your birthday, | as we must...
we have barely six months to go. Six.
Six months.
-Why is it so difficult? | -Difficult?
Everything has got to be debated, | or qualified, or contradicted.
They're not difficult. You have them excited.
This is the first time the Victor Emmanuel | Building is being used for an exhibition.
-You ought to be grateful. | -Grateful.
Where is Caspasian? He should be here.
-Caspasian's out buying. | -Buying what?
He's having the staircase repainted.
He's ordered 2,000 liters | of blue matte emulsion...
and the same of green.
Blue and green? No.
There's gonna be no blue and no green | in my exhibition.
-Boulle hated those colors. | -How did you discover that?
Caspasian's found...
$25,000 worth of laser equipment.
What the hell for?
He's got a plan to use laser beams...
to join all the buildings in Rome | that influenced Boulle.
Jesus Christ!
He's turning this exhibition | into a goddamn carnival.
He's got no business doing that.
-Don't you think it's a good idea? | -Good idea?
All right. What's the scale?
It's what you asked for.
-ls it centimeters or inches? | -Centimeters.
No self-respecting architect uses inches.
Did Boulle use inches?
He used Boulles.
How long are they?
The distance from the nose to the navel.
His buildings were based | on human anatomy.
He certainly wasn't a prude.
Are you a prude, Signor Kracklite?
Ask my wife.
Ask your son to ask his wife.
Why did you do that?
To prove, if proof were needed, | that you bleed very easily.
No more, no less.
He deserved it, | but it was an unwise show of anger.
It is said that Hadrian, | the man who built all this...
was a man who suffered from skin disease...
