So I have to tell you something.
OK, what?
Sorry, it’s not easy...
I don’t even know where to start...
It’s about Stella, right? No... Look, I know everything.
I didn’t fuck Stella, OK? Come on, just admit it!
OK, but you weren’t really together...
Listen, I’m sorry, OK?
Did you pretend to be from Puglia to her, too?
Nooo, of course not! I don’t do that anymore.
Anyway... Mm? That’s not what I wanted to tell you.
It’s not?
No, I can’t tell you.
How ’bout we have our spritzes and then I’ll tell you?
No. The problem is that..
Why not?
Uh... it’s something big this time.
Have you seen the news? Oh god... let’s not get into it!
So... you gonna tell me or what?
Give me half an hour.
I’ve already seen a couple old people going around Padua with masks on.
Hmmmmm
How many times did you see her?
What, you’re not scared, are you?
Yeah, you’re right, it’s just psychosis.
Seriously, people have lost their minds! I mean, they’re saying it’s no big deal...
While we’re at it... What?
I wanted to ask you about... Stella. I figured.
Three times.
Then what happened?
Go ahead.
Nothing. It ended.
Pshaw...
How come?
Ehhh, she’s always talking shit!
It bothers me.
Ha ha, oh, sure
That’s not true! It’s not?
You think you’re better?
Alas, I do, Daniele.
The last time we got into a big fight.
Over what?
Always picking on me— take a look at yourself! See— Um, ’scuse me, did you order a spritz?
I did.
Listen, Dani... I don’t want to fight, OK?
You know that, you’ve known her for years.
Well... you know, it’s because the people she talks about really are assholes.
Even when you manipulate people? Aren’t you ashamed?
What the fuck?
When’d you order that??
When you were in the bathroom.
I didn’t have to say anything.
Ah, I already forgot.
Maybe we could just forget it?
Huh?
About the thing I was going to tell you.
That’s the whole reason we met up!
What? No! You forgot about it... that means you didn’t really care about finding out what it is.
Oh, that’s good!
Can I at least have another spritz first?
So? You gonna tell me?
Ha ha, are you serious?
Another one? Trying to get drunk before dinner?
I wish! At least I’d have the guts to tell you what’s going on!
Jesus, do we have to sit here all night?
Is it that bad? Yes!
Alright. I can wait.
It’s just, it’s not something you have to know.
Well, I’m all ears.
But now I don’t know. I... I... I don’t think I can do it!
No. We could do something else. You’re acting like I was the one who brought it up!
Then why invite me to come out and tell me you have an unspeakable secret?
I don’t know... I couldn’t sleep last night... Actually I haven’t slept well for days and...
So, once and for all, tell me: What did you do?
... I thought it would help to talk to someone.
Can we go back in time and forget the whole thing? NO.
You know, if I tell you, you’ll never want to see me again.
Ah.
Well?
Well, we never hang out much anyway, right?
Yeah, that’s true... Mmok.
Ufffffffff Daniele, I... Hey, what’s going on?
