Under The Tuscan Sun Page #9

How are you ever going to be

happy if you keep wallowing?

Listen,

when I was a little girl,

I used to spend hours

looking for ladybugs.

Finally, I'd just give up

and fall asleep in the grass.

When I woke up,

they were crawling all over me.

So?

So go work on your house

and forget about it.

I said go!

I'm going!

Work on the house

and forget about it.

Gee, why hadn't

I thought of that?

There comes a time

in every remodeler's life

when one doesn't want

any more helpful advice.

There comes a time when you

no longer want shaky guys

staring at you thinking

God knows what,

whispering things in Polish

you're really glad

you don't understand.

There's only so much you can

take before there comes a time

when you just have to get out.

Signorina.

Bella!

Great.

Hilarious.

Goodbye!

You are American?

English? Irish?

There you are.

I've been looking for you.

You said you were gonna meet me.

I've been looking for you

for 20 minutes.

- Who are you?

- I'm sorry.

Mi scusi.

Thank you.

Wait. You just kissed me

and you're going?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

You are too late.

I'm sorry?

I've already found

somebody else.

My loss.

I was wondering

if you'd help me.

I'm trying to find

an antique store

that sells replacement parts

for a chandelier.

Chandelier.

- Vetre-ria.

- Vetreria.

- Vetreria, yes.

- Okay.

Via di La Casanova.

Ah, Via di La Casanova.

- Si.

- You know it?

No.

Oh.

But I know where there is

another store.

- My cousin owns one.

- Your cousin owns a vetreria?

Yes. Antiques.

Is it far?

About three hours.

Two if I drive fast.

Two hours?

Okay. One if I drive really,

really, really fast.

That's very nice, but thank you.

No.

I know you think maybe I'm

just trying to pull you up.

Pull me up?

Pick me up.

Pick me up.

Yes.

There is that chance.

But you are the one who grabbed

me and pretend I'm your husband.

You're probably one of those

crazy American women

like "Charlie's Angels",

and you are going to kung-fu me

and steal my car.

But I'm willing to take

the chance.

You're willing?

What is your name?

Marcello.

Of course it is.

Do traffic lights mean anything?

Sure.

Green light.

Avanti, avanti.

- Avanti.

- Yellow light. Decoration.

And what about red lights?

Just a suggestion.

Marcello. You're crazy.

Thanks a lot.

He doesn't have it.

Why am I not surprised?

- Uncle, I want an ice cream.

- You want an ice cream?

- How many have you had today?

- Two.

Only two? Then get another one.

Give me a kiss first.

Maria, get her an ice cream.

Nice and big.

This is your bar?

We are a family.

I work here.

And I sleep there.

Above my cousin's antique store.

Did you ever taste this?
