Ciao.
Lucy, want to play?
Daisy, Lucy is helping Daddy...
with his work.
Miranda, want to come and play?
No. I'm not in the mood for playing with Piglets.
Richard, want to come play?
Richard! Come w--
Ow!
Uh--
Oops!
Oh! Oh!
Take that!
And that!
Oh, if I'm not ready now,
I'll never be ready.
You're free.
Ciao!
So when did Gabriella leave?
This morning. I asked her to.
Why?
I wanted to see you.
Lucy.
So this is an olive grove?
Yes.
You looked very beautiful...
back there.
I could not take my eyes away.
Like this.
I need to kiss your mouth.
After this long time.
Wait.
Please.
Lucy...
I'm dying for you.
I'm dying.
Not here.
I can't.
I can't! No!
Stop, please. Stop. No!
Stop!
What is it?
What's the matter?
This was my mother's...
from right before she died.
It's about me.
"Where have they gone, the green sandals?
I was not made to be a mother.
I had too stricken a heart,
so I wore green sandals to stay apart.
Then one night, a man stood in an olive grove.
he beat a viper till it bled,
then drew me down low.
One night was all there was.
he fed me an olive leaf.
And broke... the--
the strap of my dress."
Come here.
"I kept--
I kept on the green sandals,
but I could not get off that hill.
Italy, where did you take me that night so black...
and still?
He had an accent and a knife,
and somewhere, even, had a wife.
He took my face and tore my hips...
and planted in their place something new and strange...
and near to love.
I thought I had nothing left, but you came later,
curved anew.
Forgive me.
I did not have the means for catching...
when I got poor Lucy."
You.
It's my real father.
So it would seem.
It's not you, is it?
Can you picture me beating a viper?
I don't even know what a viper looks like.
I thought it was Carlo Lisca.
Really?
But I'm not sure anymore.
Just forget about it.
I already have a father I love.
No, no, no.
I was never very good at...
asking for the things that I needed.
Have you ever been in love?
Lots of times.
No.
Just once.
Alex.
Alex, are you okay?
Hmm. I'm sorry.
I feel a bit grotty today.
Here. Can I get you something?
I'll be all right. Don't fuss.
I'm just feeling a bit...
rough.
That's all.
Don't give up.
You'll find him.
You won't disappoint me.
Well, don't you look nice.
Can I see?
No! I mean...
I never let anybody look until it's finished.
Does it look like me?
It's not supposed to.
It's not?
Of course not.
Didn't anybody ever tell you...
that the true artist...
only ever depicts himself?
Thanks a lot.
You sure you won't come?
It's been the same for the last 20 years.
Why should tonight be different?
I thought life with you was going to be one long party.
Not so.
Bella.
This reminds me of dances I used to go to...
when I was a girl.
Silly, isn't it, to feel homesick...
in a magic place like this?
Beauty wounds the heart.
I can't believe...
you actually brought that thing.
You know,
something surprising always happens...
every year at this party.
You'll see.
Come on.Just a little more.
Carlo.
It's Christopher!
Yeah.
Bearing a torch.
Oh!
Hello.
Hi, Christopher.
Is this what you want in life?
I didn't realize...
he was a, uh--
He was what?
Uh--
Oh, Lucy.
Darling, would you hold that?
Uh, sure. Fine.
Can I do you a favor?
What?
Wait. See. It looks like a spaceship.
See? It looks so much better.
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
Carlo.
Would you like to dance?
Now?
Now.
("My Baby Just Cares For Me" By Nina Simone Playing)
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for
Cars and races
My baby don't care for
high-tone places
Do you happen to remember...
where you were in August 1 975?
I try to forget...
but that was after the fall of Saigon.
Hard to forget the fall of Saigon.
But after, did you come back to Italy?
I don't think I ever came back.
(Nina Simone) My baby just cares for me
Baby, my baby don't care for shows
And he don't even care for clothes
he cares for me
What?
I will show you what this bastard likes.
For cars or the races
Baby don't care for
My baby just cares for me
Marta.
My baby just cares
For me
("The Life" By Mark Tchanz Playing)
This is the life
This is--
Ha ha ha!
Oh!
ha ha! Oh!
("Superstition" By Stevie Wonder Playing)
Very superstitious

Seven years bad luck
The good things in your past
You look as if you've lost something.
I haven't lost anything.
Huh. Well, perhaps I can help you find it.
Do you have a cigarette?
Um...
cigar do?
Oh, please.
Mmm. huh.
What do I--
Yeah, that's it.
Hey.
Ew!
Come.
Home.
Do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream
Keep me goin' strong
Do you ever get the feeling...
you're being watched?
Mm-hmm.
Sad is my song
When you believe in things you don't understand
Then you suffer
Wait. I want to ask you something.
Yeah?
I'm coming to America,
and I want to ask you about it.
Okay, maybe later--
Good night, Lucy.
Good night. We could--
When?
Tomorrow?
Okay. I'll come over tomorrow.
Are you sure he can drive?
Of course I can drive.
Come on.
Thanks for the party!
Shh.
Hug me.
No kiss.
Let's go.
Absolutely no kissing...
because... I am, above all, an Englishman...
and a gentleman.
Grab my ass.
Mmm.
Hey, baby. Come here.
You got to see this.
No kissing.
Oh!
Look at her! Look at that!
Richard!
What? I like it when you're mad.
Right over here.
Get on that bed!
Right back on the bed. Right back on the bed.
I know how it looks.
They're wonderful, wonderful friends.
They just--
They just have this habit of disappearing,
which means, as usual,
I've been completely abandoned.
I'll be right back.
Right. Good.
Come in.
Hi.
So I brought someone back.
Yeah. I heard.
Who's the lucky fella?
Huh. Guy from the party.
Uh-huh.
Italian?
English, actually.
Oh, English.
So... good.
Well, I'm... proud to be nearby...
at such an auspicious moment.
What are you doing?
Oh, I've lost something.
I think it might have been...
one of the better things I've written,
but, of course,
I would think that since I can't find it.
Go on. Off you go.
Okay.
Night.
Good night.
Off you go.
What?
Nothing.
Hello.
Where are we?
Nowhere.
What are you doing?
Going to sleep.
No. Of course not.
I will absolutely sleep there.
Oh...
spinning head.
It's okay.
No. No. I absolutely insist.
("Anna Mae" By John Lee Hooker Playing)
("Anna Mae" By John Lee hooker Playing)
Need you night and day Anna Mae
Anna Mae, Anna Mae
I want you for my own Anna Mae
Anna Mae, Anna Mae
Don't ever leave me by myself
Anna Mae, Anna Mae
Don't leave me here to cry
You, you, you leave me Leave me
I believe I will die
Uh! Ahh.
Ah!
Oh, Anna Mae, Anna Mae Anna Mae
My own My own Anna Mae
Huh.
Shh.
Come on.
I don't know...
what you're complaining about, you know?
You've been getting what you want,
when you want it.
So I'm supposed to be grateful?
I can already picture your next summer on Nantucket...
with some WASP heiress.
Excuse me. have I misled you in some way?
Whatever happened to...
"What you see is what you get," huh?
Oh, come on.
This isn't you. I know you.
Tell that to your wife.
Tell your wife how well you know me.
All right.
I'm going to call Dr. Signorelli.
Oh, God, no.
He smells like rotten meat.
Mmm.
Alex, you need more help.
Did Lucy choose a good one?
She chose her first one.
It's ludicrous, isn't it?
What?
About to snuff it, and still--
Still chasing tail.
Huh.
That's how you are.
Thank you.
Thank you for what exactly?
Nothing.
Right.
Hee hee hee!
Bye.
Ciao.
Uh.
Better?
Yeah.
Great. Oh, give me a ciggy, Ian.
Oh, for God's sake, Alex.
Have you ever actually bought a cigarette?
I bought a cigarette...
the last time you bought a shirt.
Alex.
It's like being in a parade, isn't it, darling?
All the bloody doctor's fault.
You know, I'm quite able to walk.
If you could see yourselves.
I don't want to see him...
at the hospital.
Oh, that's fine. You stay.
Say good-bye to him.
Hi.
Ah, Lucy. Let me see if you look different.
I didn't really.
Oh, you must not mind me.
I so enjoyed watching you.
All that beauty.
Aren't we lucky? hmm?
Ah, there's my girl.
Take it with you.
Mmm. I'll share it with the nurses.
See you.
Mmm.
Do you... remember where you were...
in August 1975?
Mmm. We bought the house in the spring of that year,
so we would have been here, I think. Why?
It's when I was conceived.
What?
Oh, nothing.
You look like something.
Ah, it's just that... thinking.
What?
I think that was when I did your mother's portrait.
That's what I thought.
I couldn't be sure.
Diana would remember. But, no, no, no.
She was in London then,
sorting out her divorce and the custody of the kids.
Be no point in asking her.
It was one of the few times we've ever been apart.
No. I wouldn't ask her.
These are for you.
So am I... done?
What?
Oh. Almost.
Can I see now?
I'll show it to you now,
it must be our secret.
Okay.
You can keep a secret, can't you?
Yes.
I learned from the master.
How did you get to be such a lovely girl?
Oh!
Fuck!
Come. Come with me.
Where did they get you?
Here.
This clay is good for it.
Are you okay?
I'm not dying.
And... here.
Here. You better do it.
Come walk with me.
("I Need Love" By Sam Phillips Playing)
I left my conscience
So you want to come to America?
I can't stand it here anymore.
But it's beautiful here.
Lock the doors behind me
Put the pane on fire
Broken like a window
I see my blindness now
And I need love
Not some sentimental prison
I need God
Not the political church
I need fire to melt
Whoo!
The frozen sea inside me
I wrote you once, you know.
You did not.
I didn't sign it,
so you probably thought it was from Niccolo'.
What was it about?
I don't know.
How much I liked you.
How I thought of you when I was in the woods.
you wrote that letter? I loved that letter.
You didn't write that letter.
I don't believe it.
That was my favorite letter.
I knew it by heart.
Dear Lucy, I'm on the top of the hill...
Wait.
Alone with my dog and thinking of you.
Where are you going?
This is my tree.
You must miss your mother.
I can't even picture her face.
Why are you crying?
Because I want to kiss you.
I'm not-- I'm not able.
I can't.
I want to leave.
What?
Here.
What are you saying?
I want to go home.
This is home.
Not really.
This is where Daisy was born.
I don't want to die here.
I want to die where I belong.
You're upset about Alex.
And... moving is not going to change that.
I'm getting tired of taking care of people.
I want to go back.
I want to go back...
where it's... gray...
damp...
and the milk goes off.
I feel... I'm not... this anymore.
We can't go back, Diana.
I put Richard...
on the train to Pisa.
Did you?
I'd had it.
Oh, darling, good for you.
Oh, Mummy.
Did you think I was mad?
No. We all have ones like that.
Where is everybody?
Gone. Mmm. ha ha.
Bonsoir.
Ciao.
What's for dinner?
I'm starving.
Chips?
Where's Lucy?
Could you... help me?
No. Stay.
I want to come with you.
Now?
No. To America.
Then do.
It was my first time too.
("Say It Ain't So" By Roland Gift Playing)
When I'm out of sight
You think you're free
Out of my mind
Where can you be
You say you're sorry
You were with a friend
I know, why worry
But it happens
I get it again
Just say it ain't so
And I'll deny I ever asked you to go
Just say it ain't so
I want to believe you won't deceive me anymore
Sooner or later
I'll give up this lie
Wish I could hate you
I know I try
how can you tell me
There's nothing to be said
You took my money
With another guy laying in your bed
Just say it ain't so
And I'll deny I ever asked you to go
Just say it ain't so
I want to believe you won't deceive me anymore
how can you tell me
There's nothing to be said
You took my money
With another guy laying in your bed
Just say it ain't so
And I'll deny I ever asked you to go
Just say it ain't so
I want to believe you won't deceive me anymore
Just say it ain't so
And I'll deny I ever asked you to go
Just say it ain't so
