Are you spending the night in a farmhouse?

Is he a nice man? -Who?-

The owner. Is he nice?

- Hes weird, mysterious.

- Hes charming!

- That looks serious...

- I like him

- Just tell me how he looks like.

- I cant. Im having dinner with him soon.

I need to look nice. Bye.

- Mamie!

See? Im wearing a tie.

I know I should also wear a coat...

- Is dinner ready?

- Yes, it is.

- We must WAIT for our guest.

- But we said half hour!

Its more than 31 minutes. I am eating.

What a nice butterfly!

Its an euchelia nupta.

Its a very rare nocturnal species.

There are 20 left all over Europe.

- Do you like it?

- Its cute.

- Look, Mamie. Do you like it?

- Its disgusting!

- Is it really disgusting?

- Yes, it is.

Collectors would pay a lot of money to have it.

- Do you like animals?

- A lot.

- And people?

Not so much, especially if they are strangers.

Then we could try to become

less strangers to each other.

I dont know your name.

- Whats your name?

- Lisa. And yours?

Elia.

- Nice name.

Its the name of a prophet

and you look mysterious too.

- Can you tell the future? - I do.

- And what can you tell?

That your soup will get cold

if you keep talking.

I am thirsty.

THUNDER:

Thanks.

- You know something, Elia?

Elia?

Yes. I was thinking

you have a nice house.

Its comfortable, warm, silent.

I live in the centre of Milan.

Theres a lot of traffic.

I cant even sleep at night.

I went to Portofino to relax.

But I met the same old people...

.. like in Milano.

In Portofino I own a house on the beach.

You are invited.

- What about next summer?

- I must work in the fields.

- What about next December, on the snow?

- I must work to bottle the wine.

- Dont you never go on holiday?

- I dont need to.

Holiday is when you do something you dont like.

I like my job.

But you have time to red...

Interesting bookshelf!

I read before going to sleep.

I like spy stories. And you?

I have no preferences.

- What happened?

- The electric power is off.

- Hold my hand. I am scared.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, dear Elia.

Happy birthday to you!

- Is it your birthday? - Yes, it is.

- Happy birthday!.

What shall I do? - Blow the candles.

And a very big blow.

Sh*t! Too big!

- one, two, three, four...

- Theyre forty. - Are you 40?

- You look younger. - I know.

- I am 25.

- I wouldnt say that. - Thanks.

- You look 26.

Stupid!

Miss, hes not a nice person!

- You are so rude!

- I was kidding.

Can you believe I was kidding?

A little gift.

- Is it for me?

- Sure.

I bought it in Portofino

- What is it? - Dont ask, just open it!

CARILLON MUSIC:

Where shall I put it?

I can put it here.
