[Enea] What is going on?

Ines just sent me a message.

[Enea] You should turn it off at night,

at least.

I know.

- [Enea] Try now, come on.

- [engine stalling]

- [Enea] Again.

- [Matilda] No.

- [Enea] Try again.

- [Matilda] It won't start!

- [Enea] Pump the accelerator.

- [Matilda exhales]

- Try now, come on.

- [Matilda] Come on! f*ck!

[exhales]

- [Enea] Try it again.

- No! It's f*cked.

- It's f*cked, Enea.

- Okay, go again.

- [Matilda] Oh my God!

- [car starts]

There you go.

See?

You just need a little bit of patience.

Yeah, but we just gave the mechanic

200 euros and it's still not fixed.

We should think about

finding you a new mechanic.

- [sighs]

- The man is a crook, huh?

Let's go.

- Will you be home for lunch?

- No. I'll see you tonight.

These kids are gonna need a lot more help.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

Um, the printers called,

I'll stop by and pick up the invitations.

Maybe I should go.

Oh, no, no, I'll go.

We split up the to-do list.

Yeah, but if you're busy,

I don't even have to go to Punzo's.

I'm just going home

to spray that old side table.

- And I'll go to the printers.

- Okay.

- Andrea!

- But I kissed you.

My Dad was gonna get the tickets,

Andrea, you're a legend!

- [boy 1] Way to go, Andrea!

- It was a dare.

- The 883 concert was a plus.

- I can't believe you have a crush on him.

[boys] Andrea! Andrea!

And I can't believe you don't like anyone.

[boy 1] Again.

[boys] Ooh!

Olé!

- Truth or a dare?

- Truth.

Come on, you can't pick truth every time.

Of course I can.

The game's not called "only make dare."

It's just a little smooch, Mati.

I don't want to smooch any of them.

Especially buttfluff.

Truth it is.

Is it true that your father left you?

No, that's a lie.

If she doesn't tell the truth,

she's gotta give me a kiss.

- It's a lie! He's sh**ting a film.

- Whose going next?

[Andrea] My aunt says

he's not coming back.

She told me the newspaper

had a picture of him

with a famous girl from TV.

Mati. Matilda! Come on!

Mati! Hey, come back!

Mati! Where are you going, Mati? Stop!

Matilda! Mati!

Where are you going, Mati? Stop!

Mati!

Come on out.

Oh my gosh, this is too much!

Come on, Ines. Please.

I'm gonna cry. [sniffles]

[both chuckle]

It's gorgeous!

I mean, it's perfect.

It feels a little tight

in the waist, though.

No way! It's aspirational.

Are you following the diet I gave you?

- Mmm. [laughs]

- Mm. [laughs]

- As long as you won't be suffocating.

- [phone vibrating]

Maybe I'll faint in the church. [sighs]

That would be so romantic.

1 NEW MESSAGE

FROM DANIELMOTTOLA1

You don't you like it?

- Huh?

- You don't like it?

Ines, I told you, it's gorgeous.

You're amazing. I'm serious.

- [Ines] What's wrong, then?

- Nothing's wrong.

A change of heart?

No! As if. No!

If you have doubts, it doesn't mean

you don't want to get married.

- You're just scared shitless. It's normal.

- [pouring liquid]

Wine will help.

[laughs]

Why do you think I make all brides drink?

- To loosen them up at the cash register.

- [laughs]

[gulps]

This has nothing to do

with Princess Betulla, right?

- No! No!

- No?

[Matilda] No

[sighs]

He sent me a friend request

to my old profile.

- So he worked out it was you?

- Mm-hmm.

[sighs] Maybe I should just see him

to say, uh

that I'm sorry,

that I told him all that horseshit.

Mm. And will you tell him you just

tried on a 2,700 euro wedding dress?

Wait, what's the price?

Mati, seeing someone to dump them

means "not dumping them."

It's scientific.

If you talk to them for ten seconds,

you won't break up.

That's why a text to break up with him

is always better.

Ugh, Ines, a break up text?

Are we 12? Huh?

I told you, ten seconds.

It's science, you know.

I don't know what's going on with you.

Enea will let you do whatever you want.

He cooks for you!

I cook too.

Mati, all you can make is frittata. Badly.

And he only eats them because

he knows how much it means to you.

Wait a minute.

What's wrong with my frittata? [laughs]

If there's one man

you can stay with forever, it's Enea.

[sighs]

He'd do anything to make you happy

for the rest of your life.

- Enea's from another world.

- He's perfect, though.

He's too perfect.

- Or we can swap him for Andrea?

- [chuckles]

[chuckles]

Let's get this dress off.

I'll do your alterations.

- I love you.

- Love you too.

Behave yourself.

And stick to the diet I gave you.

Yeah.

from school.

Can you open the door? Okay.

That cop's coming onto you.

Oh, we've got

some fresh sea bream for dinner.

Are you into him too?

What's your problem? Huh?

He's clearly flirting with you.

Mati, that cop will never notice me.

Do you see how bad I look right now?

I look like sh*t.

- No, you don't.

- Uh-huh.

You should wear something

other than that track suit.

You're getting more beautiful everyday.

Oh, I hate that damn birdcage.

Your dad bought that cage for you in Rome.

But is Papa really coming back

after the film?

Of course he is, sweetheart.

Why do you ask?

- Did you hear some town gossip?

- No.

Mati, listen.

They're all just jealous of you, okay?

- Where are you going now?

- To see Ines.

On my own.

- Andrea's a doofus. He's clueless.

I don't like him either.

One time,

Mrs. Barone tried to hit on my dad.
