02x05 - Aquarius

Post by bunniefuu »

What Libras should learn,

is to focus their energy

on the positive side of the experiences

they may have had

with people who hurt them deeply.

Only if they succeed

in this difficult balance,

will they enjoy peace and success.

He did my new birth chart

on the spot,

based on the exact time I was born.

BORN IN TURIN

25 SEPTEMBER 1983, AT 11:45 P.M.

The thing is,

now I don't know who I am anymore.

Give it to me.

So, ah, "You are very kind,

generous and creative."

"Cruelty and selfishness

profoundly wound you."

This is you. It's you.

Okay, Tio, but this applies to everybody.

See? Watch.

- Olmo?

- Yeah?

Excuse me.

What would you think

if someone said this to you?

Mm-hmm.

"You have a huge heart, Olmo."

"You're very kind, generous,

and creative."

"Cruelty and selfishness

profoundly wound you." Sounds right?

I'd say it's really spot on.

Yeah, I'm an extremely sensitive person.

Well done, well done. Thanks, Olmo.

What's he have to do with this?

This is all talking about you,

my little Libra.

That's what I'm also trying to say, Tio.

I'm still me, regardless of the chart.

Cool, I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

The journalists

are waiting for you in Studio B.

Journalists?

AQUARIUS

Everything's gonna be fine.

You got this.

- Oh, bonjour. You're back.

- Good morning.

- Good to be back.

- Oh, one sec okay?

Hello, Bodrato.

Hey.

Hey, Paola.

Oh, Tio.

What a nice jacket.

Hello, gorgeous. Thanks.

Beautiful.

Did you sew them on yourself?

We could raise the lights.

Lucia, let's take a few pictures

while we wait for Marlin,

if you don't mind.

Okay.

You can do it, Alice.

Hey.

Hi.

- Lucia

- Hi.

I want you to fit it all in,

everything.

I hope that everything went

well, you know

- when you got back.

- Move your finger like this.

- Yes.

- I'd also like to see

- I appreciate you asking.

- It's perfect! Shoulders back

Oh!

Alice,

come and take a photo with me.

Davide, get over here too.

We'll get one with everyone in production.

Look at me.

Smile.

Enough. Okay, thanks.

- All right.

- Thanks.

Paola, so where do you

want everybody to sit?

What about Marlin?

- I'll look for her.

- I'll go and see if

All good. I'll go.

Davide, you sit here.

And our Alice

we'll put her here.

Thanks.

Okay? Let's check everything

Don't move.

- and, uh

- Woo!

okay.

- Okay, I'll go.

- You go. Yeah, you go.

Mmm.

Who is she in there with?

No, I have no idea.

All I know is that

the stars saw her courting a Gemini.

Woo!

- Shall we begin?

- Yes.

I believe Marlin will be here in a bit.

Let's start.

Some people think that astrology

is just a load of crap,

a total sham.

- Oh really?

- Yes.

How do you respond to this?

Everyone can believe

what they want, obviously,

but for me,

astrology is a tool that enlightens

the whole mind and body.

Our whole being.

All right.

Tio, you're a Gemini, right?

Certainly am.

As a Gemini,

do you believe in love?

Well, yes, I do,

but love comes, in fact, in a

variety of forms.

Certainly, but

what I mean is a kind of love that

lasts forever.

Mmm.

Well, then I'd say, is there

anything in the world that lasts forever?

Oh yes! Don't stop, keep going!

I'll accept that as an answer.

Okay.

Alice, if I'm not mistaken,

you are a Libra,

Libra, Cancer rising.

Leo.

Leo rising, actually.

Since Paris, I mean.

Ah!

Okay. Yes,

I heard that you interviewed Professor

Klauzen, in Paris. Is that right?

The great guru of astrology.

How was that?

Um

I, um

Tell me what you want

Tell me what you want, baby

Tell me what you want

We

I am everything I need

I am everything I want, I am

Yes.

Yes, Alice filmed an exclusive interview

with a renowned professor

Mmm.

- Okay.

- that will be aired during our, um,

our special episode.

Yes, it will be, uh,

filmed entirely at Stupinigi.

It's our first live show.

So, don't miss all the action.

Mmm.

Please, excuse me. I've got to go.

I have another

production meeting to attend.

Bye.

Mmm, sorry, one last question.

What's your sign, Davide?

I really must go.

Thanks.

- Good morning, Davide.

- Hey.

My love

Mmm!

Oh!

Did I miss anything?

Obviously not.

See you soon.

Thank you, Mrs. Costa.

And we're very much looking forward

to reading your article.

Tonight, we'll try to post

something on our social media, sound good?

Great. Fabulous.

Thank you all.

Thank you, Paola.

- Bye, Tio

- See you very soon.

- and, mmm, everybody.

- Bye.

- See you soon.

- Goodbye.

- Ciao.

- Ciao.

- Come back soon.

- You're great, Paola.

Marlin, what did you want to do?

We are so honored.

You okay?

Yes, everything's okay.

- Cristina, wait.

- Leave me alone, Carlo.

Hi, Cristina.

What's wrong with the stars today?

Alice, it's a mess.

First, she tells me

she wants to fight for our relationship.

Don't worry. I'm almost done.

The next minute, everything's over.

- She said that she won't marry me.

- I'm sorry, Carlo.

I'm trying.

I'm trying to prove to her

that I'm not the same guy anymore.

You're an Aquarius.

Aquarius.

When you're about to just give up,

an Aquarius

will loyally hang by your side

and stay with you until the end.

But then act

as if nothing had happened to you at all.

Opportunist, you ask?

Well, of course.

It makes sense from someone

whose favorite words

are "free" and "spirit,"

and who never wants

to be a part of the crowd.

Just as a solid basic principle,

they will argue any idea

as long as it contradicts one of yours.

It doesn't matter if they're claiming

that the Earth is actually flat,

or that they've seen life on Mars

because

"being like the others"

is the worst crime there is.

Carlo, she's pregnant.

Yeah.

So you gotta be the one convincing her.

Excuse me a sec.

We'll post it

on Instagram tonight, all right?

- Paola?

- Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

Okay.

I was very insensitive.

Please forgive me.

I thought

of all people,

you would've understood what I felt.

My fears.

I understand, Paola, I do.

I really do.

I'm the one who's forced

to sacrifice my career.

Not you.

Not Giovanni.

I thought I could talk to you

openly about this

without being judged and hurt like that.

And most of all,

without your crazy astrological advice.

I was wrong.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I just assumed that

a woman in your position

would have probably shared

this important decision

with her husband, no?

That's all it is.

I, uh, I better go and get Sandro.

- Bye, Lucia.

- Bye, Paola. See you in the office.

- Alice.

- Hey.

Listen.

"I, Carlo,

standing here wholeheartedly

in front of you, Cristina,

promise to always love you."

"Your love to me is like the water."

"No form, no contour."

"It's peaceful,

yet powerful."

"And I need it."

"I need it to keep me alive.

It gives me life!"

"You're my heart."

"I promise to support

to support you

in good times and bad times."

"And I promise that even if there were

to be a zombie apocalypse,

you can count on my ax, Cristina."

"And I can't wait to start spending

the rest of my life with you."

What do you think?

It's impressive.

I put that zombie part in

because those films she really likes,

so, well, you know,

I'll see

I may keep it or I might change it.

Yeah, but listen,

if you keep trying

to convince her with just words

you won't need to write

any wedding vows, you know?

I think what Cristina needs are actions.

Clear, honest, bold.

Actions.

Actions?

- Yes.

- Actions.

I'll make a note of it.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Actions. Thanks.

- You got it.

- Actions.

Young Siddhartha went down the promenade

Wearing a graphic tee of a Basquiat

Matcha in hand with a newly lit

Newport cigarette

ALICE: PAOLA, I'M SORRY

I LOVE YOU.

Yes, my grandfather liked them.

So I wanted to keep them more classic.

I like them. It makes it brighter.

Oh sh*t.

Alice, hi.

How are you?

We have a visitor today.

Barbara came to say hi.

I was in the area and came

to check out the famous Dora TV,

now that I have the chance.

This is it.

This is where all the magic happens.

What the hell are you talking about?

While I'm here,

I was wondering if I, uh

could meet up with you for dinner, Alice?

Huh?

I just had some ideas for the show,

and I'd like to speak with you about it.

Well, that's wonderful, right?

I'm sure that Alice

will certainly be honored

to accept your invitation,

isn't that right?

Alice?

I

Think of an excuse, Alice.

Think of an excuse.

You and I?

Yes.

Tonight, if that works for you?

Eight o'clock, maybe?

Tonight, um

Tonight sucks.

um, is perfect.

Great.

I'll tell Cristina

to book it for 8:00 p.m.

- Well, shall we?

- Yes.

- Have a good day.

- See you later.

See you later.

And now,

my humble office is right over here.

I've been reduced to this hall.

Please excuse the mess.

What am I gonna do?

Well,

you've got nothing to hide.

Do you?

So are you going to tell me

what happened in Paris?

Nothing.

I told you.

Nothing happened at all.

Oh

my

Lord.

Oh my dear Lord.

Mmm.

Mm-hmm.

Tio, what are you doing?

Mm-hmm!

This is amazing.

Surprising me each day

a little more, my little Libra.

And now,

you're afraid because of Barbara

Yeah.

Yeah, it's a problem.

It's a big a*s problem.

Okay.

No need to panic, okay?

I have a plan.

Tonight, I'm your co-pilot.

Like in Top g*n?

Yeah,

only that nobody dies tonight, okay?

Let's pretend we bump into each other

outside the restaurant,

and, uh, you introduce us,

and I ask if I may join

your tête-à-tête because

- Because, uh, uh

- Because?

Because

after my torrid story

with my cousin Martinez's girl,

I simply gotta vent my anger!

No good?

Okay.

I'll figure out another story.

ALICE: PAOLA, I'M SORRY I LOVE YOU.

They're just words, Alice.

I can't drink while I'm pregnant.

It's for me.

In case I decide

to drown out all my feelings.

Thanks.

- Mama.

- Sweetheart.

Just wanted you to think about it.

You were right about one thing, though.

- What's that?

- Ah-ta-ta-ta-ta, stop gossiping, ladies.

I just found out.

And I couldn't be any happier.

Ah, you women are wonderful.

Just give us guys a chance

every once in a while. Come on.

A little bit of champagne?

It won't harm you or our baby.

Oh, all right.

- Here.

- Thanks.

Cheers.

Okay, raise your glasses to

Day Care with Papa Giovanni.

He's decided to take

a bit of time off work

so that he can look after a

Our little

- Sagittarius, you say?

- Mm-hmm.

I figured it was my turn this time.

Hey, Tio.

At 7:30. I'm just reminding you.

What makes you think

You're too good for me?

What makes me miss

The way we used to be?

Woo!

It's getting late

Staying around yours

Elegant?

Or simple?

Both, Alice.

- Well, I don't know, babe

- All right now

I think I can move on

You can do this.

You've got it.

I'm tryna get my life on track

I'm not joking, all right, Tio?

If you forgot, I'm gonna k*ll you.

Stuck wasting time

Oh sh*t.

Heaven only knows I need them

One day you are here

The next day you are gone

What's that all about?

Where'd it all come from?

You say I'm the wrong guy

To sit with and stand by

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Damn you, Tio!

It's nice to know my life's on track

Right this way.

Thank you.

Excuse me?

Uh

Could I have a minute, please?

Of course.

Thanks.

Good evening.

Alice.

I was beginning to think

you had snubbed me.

No, of course not.

Please.

Thanks.

Marvelous place.

I've never been here.

- No?

- No.

- Although, I do know it's very famous.

- Yes.

Um

My fiancé

used to bring me here often.

I imagine you know about Claudio.

Davide doesn't talk much about it.

But you seem to be

an exception to that rule.

Am I wrong?

- How about something to drink.

- Yes.

They make an incredible French 75.

Yes, ma'am.

Two of the usual. Thank you, Marie.

Of course.

May I also bring you some water?

Uh, yes, if you would.

I guess you might be wondering

why I really invited you

to dinner tonight.

And you've obviously figured out that

the work meeting was

only an excuse.

Well, yes.

A bit.

I just want to know if you love him.

Oops.

What?

Alice, I've seen the way

he always looks at you.

Davide has never looked at me like that.

So, I

I, um

just want to know how

How you

feel about him.

Excuse me for being so bold,

it's just that

It's just that I know too well

how brief life is.

How useless

how entirely useless it is

to waste what little time we have.

I've never seen Davide

as happy as when he's with you.

I've never seen his eyes light up

like whenever you're around.

Or seen him

so intensely focused on his job since

since Claudio passed away.

And it was difficult.

And it is difficult.

And plus, Davide believes

that if he left me, I'd fall to pieces.

Would you fall to pieces?

I don't love him.

He reminds me of him.

Being with Davide is

my way to feel close to Claudio.

I don't want to hurt anybody, though.

We hurt people sometimes.

It's inevitable.

Dessert?

Mm-hmm.

Thank you for this surprising dinner.

It was a pleasure.

Barbara,

may I offer you a ride?

If you'd like.

Of course, you'll have to put up

with the mess and all, but

Yes.

Yes, thanks.

- Right here.

- Okay.

Am I allowed

To look at her like that?

Could it be wrong

When she's just so nice to look at?

And she smells

Like lemongrass and sleep

She tastes like apple juice and peach

Oh, you would find her

In a Polaroid picture

No, don't. It's broken. Wait.

Okay.

There you go.

Thank you.

I think we could be good friends,

Miss Bassi.

After all, us women are

are always pitted against each other,

especially when a man is involved.

Wouldn't it be nice

if it wasn't like that for once?

Yes.

And she smells

Like lemongrass and sleep

She tastes like apple juice and peach

Oh, you would find her

In a Polaroid picture

Have a good night.

Good night.

means everything to me

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh my God, Tio!

Oh

I'm outside your house.

You'd better open up, Tio.

You traitor.

No.

- Hey.

- Why say it was just an interview, Andrea?

An interview.

I didn't mean it!

You didn't, hmm?

Then you didn't mean it

when you told everybody

that you never believed

in everlasting love?

No! It was just a sound bite.

They're just words, okay?

Words are never just words, Tiziano.

Listen.

You knew perfectly well what I believed

about love when we met, right?

I think I've made some progress.

Haven't I?

Hey, wait, what's going on here?

Okay, listen.

This isn't working.

Not like this.

All right?

No, it's not all right, Tiziano.

Because I'm ready to share

my whole life with you, completely,

in every possible way.

But you

I?

You complicate everything

that's easy and simple.

You always need drama.

Whereas for me,

just being with you is more than enough.

Living together, being toge

You knew a relationship

wasn't going to be easy for me!

It's not easy for anyone, Tiziano!

But you don't even try.

Okay, um

I'll need time, though.

I need time to

think about everything.

Okay?

I need time to think.

Okay.

Give him time.

What use would it be?

He's already decided.

I'm not sure love,

as we feel it, really exists, Alice.

Maybe it's time we grow up.
