Stai Sereno (Stay Calm) (2023) - full transcript
Giorgio Martini, the Minister of Culture in Italy's official third republic of government, is unpopular and needs fresh ideas for his election campaign. He spends the weekend away with his lover, but nothing goes as planned.
[Pamela] Is that a Hugh?
It's hard so don't worry about that.
Now, listen, you wanna-
- I'm done.
It's more exciting in the glass cube.
Meet me there.
Sure, bitch.
Now, listen, the secret to this business-
- Oh, you have the secret?
Yeah, I have one, too.
Do tell.
I have an idea.
You need a million
likes to have an idea.
This whole fucking business is based on
followers, and hashtags and likes.
Fuck you if you don't have likes.
You wanna hear it?
Of course, bitch.
Do it.
Okay.
Have I told you that I love you?
No.
Only sponsor for me.
I've always believed
in you, you know that.
Oh.
This one?
Really?
I'm an eight.
Oh.
I'm sorry, I have to go now.
Hurry up, baby.
And good luck.
Okay. Okay, okay, see you, see you.
You realize you are far
more beautiful when you smile?
Like while you're on TV.
There are three kinds of people.
Those who feel depressed
because they see other
better than themselves.
Those who feel better because
they see other worse off,
and those that they learn
to compare themselves
only against themselves.
But that's brilliant!
But of course, I would
expect that from you.
You are Roberto Cere, I
follow you on Instagram!
You need no introduction,
Pamela Galante.
This is my book. I hope
it's gonna help you.
This is a present from me to you.
And.
Oh!
Thank you.
"Io Ci Sono".
You know, you may be right.
I should want more from life.
There is not a better time
to start than the present.
Have a nice day.
Thank you.
Do you want me to connect
your phone to the Bluetooth
in order to listen to
some other radio station?
No, man.
I understand Italian. Just don't speak it.
Not by choice.
I don't think.
You know. I know.
I just find it incredible that someone
who doesn't speak Italian
could be appointed to our government.
I know. I know.
I mean like when I first
came to your country
and I met Sylvia and we
started our first businesses,
I could have never imagined that
an Italian American kid from Michigan
could ever have been appointed
to the Italian Ministry of Culture.
I mean, it's, it's insane.
I know only in Italy.
Only in Italy.
Oh geez. Hold on.
Oh, it's the wife, you're
not here. I'm on a plane.
Oh actually, sir.
According to my calculation,
you are in a car on the way to the hotel.
Oh, you are good!
I'm just, I'm just kidding, honey.
It was for the kid.
Marco, the driver. But, never mind.
How are? Sweetie, I miss
you so much already.
And yeah, we landed, we're,
we're already in Greece, driving,
but we're driving into a tunnel.
We're driving into a Greek tunnel
going into the underground.
So if you, if I lose you
don't look behind you.
You'll, you'll disappear.
You'll get dragged into Hades.
I'm having a hard time hearing you though
because of the reception.
This kind of spot.
No, I'm not on vacation.
I'm, hello?
Hello.
God, I love that woman.
Listen, I need a write
up on Athens, all right?
So gimme something prepared.
You know, all the shit you do that this...
Boy look at you.
That's the,
you're incredible.
You know, every,
every successful man needs the
right woman to lie to, Marco.
Maybe one day you'll meet
her when the time is right.
Wait, one day mean that I'm
gonna meet some girl to lie to
or I'm gonna meet your wife?
I really don't know.
Okay, see that over here?
This is one of our city's
most important monuments.
I won't apologize for the bird excrement,
but it is good luck, right?
The guy who said getting
shit on by a bird, Marco,
was shat on by a bird.
He's beautiful.
What the fuck are we
doing here? What's next?
Oh, I got this for you.
Olympiacos.
That's good thinking.
Thanks.
These guys killed Lazio on
the Champions League, right?
I'm impressed that you know that.
You gotta study your prey, my friend.
All right. You know that
little pedal next to the brake?
- Yeah.
- Step on it.
There's not a giant baby
on the loose is there?
No, sir.
It, it's a mock up of my
parents' latest project.
Okay.
How's that?
Well basically they're living in
a bigger glass cube for a month.
What do you mean living?
I mean, eating, drinking,
you know, sleeping. Maybe.
Where do they shit?
That's the mystery.
They're artists.
David Blaine lived in a glass cube.
He was dangling above London.
He's a magician. So, I guess
he made his shit disappear?
Artists sell their shit.
Write that down.
And sell it?
Exactly.
Okay.
I've written down the bullet points
for the reform bill of the theater,
basically fighting for the intellectual.
Ah, intellectuals.
They vote, sir.
I love the theater people.
Can the bipolar vote twice?
All right. Champagne.
Yeah.
You do speak Italian, sir.
Just enough to get by
with waiters and girls.
And I left you some
lasagna in the freezer.
You have to put in the
oven for 20 minutes,
but I left you some instruction anyway.
All right. So how much is
this fiasco gonna cost me?
Mm. I'll have the
final number by Monday.
And you charged it all
to the campaign finance?
Of course!
See, we can't be, you know, too clean.
Voters,
they don't trust you otherwise.
And make sure you leak that.
Okay.
De Angelis. I hate this bastard.
Yeah.
We checked his mother into a
clinic for Alzheimer's sir.
- Yeah.
- 4,000 voters.
Oh, of course he does.
4,000.
Ciao, my friend.
I'm so sorry to hear about your mother.
How is she?
Si, I, no, that's terrible.
Yeah, it's awful.
Yeah, these, these illnesses
they're, they're such a,
they're such a terrible part of life.
Oh!
Man, really!
I feel, I feel terrible
for the both of you.
No, that, it's absolutely my pleasure.
You know, the, the, the,
the clinic administrator.
He's a very good friend of mine.
It was my absolute pleasure.
No, she's in she's she's
she's in very good hands.
I, ah!
He's crying.
Don't forget the building amnesty.
No, no, no, we've been
very busy, haven't we?
We've been very busy with
the electoral campaign.
No, I can see the light at
the end of the tunnel though.
Let's hope it's not a drain.
Look as long as we're speaking amnesty,
if I win the election, I'm
gonna be very good to you,
but I want you to know
you gotta be very good to me too, huh?
Say it.
First class.
Marco will cover.
Yeah, well, he'll, he'll,
he'll take care of it.
From appetizer to dessert.
Dessert.
How do you say dessert?
Dolce.
Yeah, yeah, just, and say hello
to your 4,000 voters for me
and our, our, our prayers are with you.
Si, si. Okay, okay.
Jesus Christ.
Apparently we have to take care
of dinner for 4,000 people.
Keep it down to, I don't
know, 15 euros a head, yeah?
What if we held a dinner party
at the Balfour restaurant?
I like it.
- I will call them?
- No, no.
That's the shogun.
That's great.
Kendo.
(shouts)
See, that's a, that's a
kiai right there, right?
You can, you can, you can,
you can cripple your
opponent with your voice
even before the blade touches them.
Even before the fight, you can win, right?
Your horror is your belly.
You need a big belly.
None of these flat abs. You need a belly.
That's your horror, and your shin,
Your shin is the energy
that comes right outta your,
right outta your head.
You don't know a thing
I'm talking about, do you?
I don't, sorry.
Whoop!
Hey, watch your step.
Watch that step.
Hup!
This is actually my
parents' bedroom, sir.
Relax. They're in a box
somewhere aren't they?
What they don't know won't hurt 'em.
You're right.
What if we move the dinner to Bebo?
I can it down to 10 euros there.
Including appetizer and dessert?
Yes, sir.
And after dinner drinks, sir.
Sweet.
All right. Let's run through it.
Okay.
15 Minutes to noon.
Cameras go live online, everywhere,
but here, and the relax room.
Five minutes to noon, she arrives.
11:00 PM.
He shows up through this
door with a gun in his hand
and then ties you up.
Sir. Your hat on the bed.
It's bad luck.
And this is my parents' last installation.
It's a room dedicated to relax
and aromatherapy and chromotherapy.
Yeah. I don't remember this.
Oh yeah. What is that?
That, it smells the divine.
Oh, it's a mix of wild herbs
and Mediterranean spices.
God, can I put that on my salad?
Is it legal?
Yeah.
It shouldn't be.
Oh my God.
No, I wanna live in here.
No, better yet. Shoot me now, I'm done.
No, sir.
There are no guns in these
house. My parents are pacifists.
Of course they are. They live in a box.
It's all right. I still love them.
Okay. As of now, my phone is off.
Yep.
What if suddenly something
happens in the government?
How can I reach you?
Should I just show up?
Listen,
there are men far greater than us
slipping into that tall
black patent leather
woman's police boot called
Italy tonight, my friend.
We're fine.
Now everything is on. Camera is live.
You mean the public just saw me
take a honk and hit off of...
Yeah.
All right. That's good.
And message sent.
Cool.
Oh, it's the good stuff.
A statement for leaving
your security leaders
for their duties this weekend.
So none of my security
know that I'm here.
Correct.
Good.
My head of security. I
don't trust this guy.
Should have got rid of him
when I got into office.
Fire him Monday.
Okay.
So the girl she's here?
Yeah. She's in the shower.
She's good. Right?
I mean she speaks English, right?
Perfectly.
You touch that, I'll cut you!
All right.
Let's run through it again.
Okay.
Where am I?
[Marco] You are on a secret
diplomatic mission in Greece.
Does anybody know?
Of course, everybody.
- Perfect.
- Yeah.
They all think you're in Athens right now.
I made up this story for the
press and your family as well.
Until?
Until you are caught
on a state of the art
audio/video surveillance cameras,
and having a rendezvous
with your quote, girlfriend.
My, quote, very famous girlfriend.
Very famous, yes, yes.
What's her name?
- Pamela Galante.
- Pamela Galante.
She's an internet sensation.
She's an actress.
And she speaks English?
And she's memorized her
lines, she knows the script?
Yeah.
Enrico's memorized the script.
He's memorized everybody's lines.
All right.
We just gotta think positive Marco.
'Cause if we can pull this off,
we can win the majority with this scandal,
do you know what this means?
Yeah. You probably become
the head of the party.
Possibly prime minister.
Yeah, and?
And yeah, of course.
That's bring massive value increases
to all of your branded-
- You're goddam right!
- Yeah!
That's exactly what it, what it does.
Look at there's Gardenia
and Schoffnolinger,
and, and, and, oh gosh, you got Joyce.
I didn't know you read Ulysses?
He is one. My favorites.
Hmm. Yeah, America has
produced some fine writers.
Yep!
Sir, take a look.
That her?
Oh, look at that.
She looks good.
Oh, very nice.
Yeah. She's fab.
I'm never wrong about women.
Marco!
Darling!
I'm so glad we could spend this
time together at long last!
So relaxing.
You think that blissful peace relax you?
I know you.
Three days on a blissful
peace and you are just like,
he, me, you be ready
to blow your brains...
Out!
I know you wanted to go.
I know you wanted to go to Ibiza
but we'd end up on the
front page of every paper!
Marco!
Unfortunately the political fact
has become super big, there
is no longer an adversary.
That's the wrong line! Learn the script!
That's our girl. I mean, that's our girl.
We'll talk about her later.
Darling!
I'm gonna go slip into something
a little more comfortable, darling.
Like a noose.
Oh, sorry Marc. It's important.
Oh yeah.
Hi.
I speak all in English now.
Yeah.
We are filming a viral scandal
with American Minister of Culture.
Shh!
No you! Shh!
What?
Is it me or is that crazy?
What's crazy!
I have to go to visit
my mom in the clinic!
No, no you don't!
Oh, what's wrong with your mom?
- It's Alzheimers!
- It's Alzheimers!
- Hey!
- Hey!
[Pamela] I'm sorry.
Thank you.
She says to call, I
can't keep her waiting!
No!
And we are out of cigarette.
Okay.
- I have to go!
- I'll go with you.
- Don't worry.
- It's okay.
- No, don't bother.
- It's not a problem.
[Marco] No need.
- It's my pleasure.
- No, really.
No, I'm, I'm-
It's fine.
You don't need that.
- Yeah, I-
- It's fine, it's fine.
I'll walk you out.
Who the hell did you hire?
Sir, sir. I think she's very promising.
- Promising?
- Yes.
Promise, I promise to kick
100% of your ass!
No, no, no, stop!
Stop, sir! Sir!
You hired an Insta model!
She's not even real! What?
The comments on my Instagram profile
are very real for your information.
I imagine likes are something
you wouldn't have to worry about?
Darling, sweetheart.
So sorry, honey.
Please!
Look, the cameras are on,
please, please, I understand.
We, honey! We don't wanna, listen, we.
Honey, I'll bend over backwards
to make this nice for us.
Can we just please?
I could do some prime time!
I know, and you will. I promise you.
You will!
If I don't make a jump now when?
Yeah.
Fair enough. Okay.
Who do I have to call?
The director name is Mascio.
Forget the director.
No one cares about the
director. Who's the boss?
Bertolami.
Bertolami. I know Bertolami.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, it's fine.
Boss. Look I'm, I'm sorry.
[Georgio] Bertolami? It's Martini.
- Oh. Minister!
- Ciao, Guido.
Listen, my niece, Pamela Galante, is,
she's got an audition, okay?
And the, what's the director's name?
Machio!
With Machio.
She has audition with Machio on Monday.
Monday, and apparently, rumor has it,
that someone else is being
considered for the role.
Someone with more haters than likes, and,
who, what's her name?
Nina Cavani.
Nina Cavani is being
considered and that,
we can't have that on prime time, can we?
So can I count on you?
Can we, can we get a
meeting for, for Pamela?
[Marco] I'm sorry, minister,
but we cannot accept recommendation.
Let me plant that back
in your brain again.
I'd like a meeting for
Pamela Galante on Monday.
Oh, whatever, man. Let me think.
What about massage treatment
at Basiliani Spa, for two?
Thank you very much.
Sure.
No, of course.
Oh, it would be my pleasure.
You're so kind.
Ciao. Good bye.
You do the guy a favor
and he's trying to screw ya.
It all revolves around sex.
Yeah, except sex. Sex
revolves around power.
Which reminds me.
We are going to power down our phones.
Don't move.
I'll be right back.
All right. Let's, let's try
the lines again from the top.
Okay?
Okay.
All right, so I'm gonna
say, "Look what I brought you.
I brought you some champagne.
Oh, let me take a picture.
Oh, bubbles get us some likes.
Wait, I need a stro."
- Straw.
- Stro.
Stro.
And I say, "Let, no drink it like this!
Oh, it's cold.
You are getting me wet all over.
Ooh. Talk about likes.
Oh yes!
You like that?
Oh, give me luxury and
I renounce necessities."
Necessities?
Exactly. Just like that, yeah.
Okay.
No, from the top.
Freeze your hands!
You, your hands!
What are you? What are you doing?
Okay. You're you're early.
It's not now?
No, it's not now.
No, please! Don't shit!
- D-Don't?
- Shoot!
That's early too. Okay?
That's not now. Don't shit or shoot.
That's not now. And that's not here.
Neither of those things are
here. They're in the other room.
Both of those lines are supposed
to happen in the other room
where there are cameras, see,
there are no cameras here.
So if you can just wait-
How do I look?
- You look beautiful.
- Me?
No, not would you get the outta here?
All right. That was, that was good.
Are you gonna do it like that?
Oh my God! You said.
Oh, God! Not the video.
Oh, my God. It's horrible.
You! You now.
Watch my pig face.
Look.
I know you!
All right.
I know you.
I see you in prison.
You're beautiful.
I do much with you in my mind!
I see you are, Squizzando.
You saw me, Squizzando?
Yes! You, you're very, very good.
I love on Squizzando when
you, you move your body,
and-
Dance now!
Do the dance now!
No. Don't dance now.
Let's, so help me, if you do.
You don't, okay, that's not.
Oh.
You are oh, good.
Why don't you sit down?
Please sit down.
Please sit down.
Whoa, sit, sit down!
Thank you. Thanks.
You!
Your name!
Name? I'm Giorgio.
Giorgio Martini.
Yes. He was on TV often?
Yes.
That. I'll never want you with no clothes!
All right?
Yeah. I can see that.
You are who?
Giorgio Martini.
You are, who?
George. Giorgio Martini!
I said that.
- You!
- I don't know
what you're saying.
What are you saying?
Jesus!
Okay? What is your job?
- Do, my, minister
- What!
I'm the Minister of Culture
and my bodyguards will be here any minute.
What are you saying?
You are important man?
That's right. What?
Don't you speak Italian?
My men'll be here. So you
might as well give yourself up.
You?
Yeah.
No!
Yes.
No!
Yes.
Would, would you tell him please what.
He think he's a very,
very important person.
(laughs)
Thank you.
How much this country make me laugh.
In Italy, anyone can
become whatever they want!
You are the Minister.
What are you saying? Why
don't you stick to the script?
Listen.
My men will be here.
All right. Give yourself up or so help me.
I'll take you down.
You say, you say men arrive, huh?
But who believes you? Huh?
You a politician.
You liar. Every breath you take.
- That's not-
- Look at my pig face.
- Why isn't he-
- Look at my pig face!
Okay. You wear a mask every day.
No difference between you and me.
- That's good.
- Oh no, no, I no need.
I no need mask.
What, what are you doing?
No, I no need mask!
(country rock music)
The fuck are you doing?
You are a pig.
No, okay?
That's insane!
You, you are the pig.
Now, I open your eyes.
You doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
You can see everything.
Not with your eyes, but with your ride.
Feast your eyes!
What, are you!
What are you doing?
You! Dance!
He's very good.
Where did you find him?
He used to work for me.
It's your production
value. How fantastic.
Please, please, please call me anytime.
This guy's a maniac. He's
gonna blow everything up.
This isn't in the script?
No Squizzando, this isn't the script.
All right. We gotta stay rational.
We're gonna take a deep breath,
'cause he can come in
here any minute, okay?
Just gotta keep our heads.
We just gotta stay calm.
Help! Help!
Yeah, we can do that.
We can do that too. Just do that.
What the fuck is going on?
Hey. Hi.
Did you like our explosion?
I heard it.
Let's see.
There's been some changes to the script,
Enrico dropped the Romanian accent and,
and he no longer wants
to work with the mask.
Two very strong choices, I know.
Which means he either doesn't
mind going back to prison,
or he wants to kill himself
in front of the world.
Not before killing us first.
Which reminds me. The gun?
It's loaded.
- Loaded?
- Yeah.
Did you get your cigarettes?
- Yeah.
- Can I have one?
How are we doing?
Look, no-
- Incoming. Here he is.
Relax, huh?
There's nowhere to go.
Many bombs outside.
I have control.
I'm dead before I create my foundation.
What is it for, very noble.?
To teach girl to code.
Very noble.
Who. are you?
I'm his personal assistant.
Huh? I feel bad for you.
You want the gun, huh?
I see you.
He keeps saying that.
Why is he doing this?
What? Exiting up stage to the kitchen?
I have no idea.
He has been off script all night.
[Enrico] And I hear you!
Sir.
I didn't wanna say anything
but how did it happen?
Bad casting.
And now what, we're gonna do?
You're gonna be a hero
because I only have one life.
So you better figure it out.
We have two lives.
The second begins when we
realize we have only one.
I think is it in your carrier?
Pearls on swine?
Well, how can you eat this shit?
Well if you miss
prison food, that badly,
there are easier ways my friend.
Five years in prison. It's a long time.
You imagine five years?
Listen. Our party has
fought hard for prison reform.
We're the party for prisoners.
Do you know what they
do? First thing in prison?
No, I'm...
No idea.
No idea.
If he just go out of prison,
he's broke. Offer him cash.
You're right. It's, I,
you're absolutely right.
You've been, five years is a long time
and you probably do need some money.
So in a couple hours I
could get you 10,000 euros.
What's the first thing
they do in prison, you know?
Don't be cheap. More.
20,000. You want 20,000.
You're good for 10,000. Right?
20,000 euros. How does that sound?
First thing when you arrive.
Oh, you know, I don't know.
Help me out here, Marco.
Any ideas?
None, sir.
I have a perfect record, so.
- No idea, huh?
- No idea.
No idea.
First thing. Be baptized.
Baptized.
Well, I know they have
a chapel, don't they?
It's not entirely clear.
So if you can tell us exactly
what this involves in details.
Hey, don't be stupid.
Everyone knows what's happening in prison.
Yes.
(soft music)
You decide who takes, who gives?
Of course I have heard of this.
Now you too decide who takes, who gives?
I'm sorry?
You like your secretary?
Let me assure you, sir.
I don't have that level
of security clearance.
All right. Look.
That's quite enough, Max, Katie, Laine.
Firstly, I'm hetero,
okay? And I'm married.
Okay. And I've never cheated on my wife.
Come on, Marco.
Help me out here. Say something would you?
And that something will be what sir?
You're secretary?
- Yes, yes.
- Yeah.
And boss?
Yes.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Now,
- Now?
Fuck him!
And now I'm going to have
an intelligent conversation
with this woman.
Don't worry. I don't touch you.
I just want you away from this pig.
Oh!
I'm sorry.
I mean, she nice! I like!
Boobs like mother. (grunts) Pig man!
Well, at least that was in the script.
- Sure.
- Was she smiling?
Don't be scared.
This is the right path.
He's planted bombs all around the house.
Even if we could grab her
without you getting shot,
where would we go?
I wouldn't want my flesh
would slowing us down, sir.
Unless of course, you
know, you swept for mines,
but that would just
take too long with your-
- With my gunshot, sir.
- With your gunshot wound.
Exactly.
No, although I'll appreciate it
and your sacrifice would be remembered.
I, I do not advise this.
I'm sorry, man.
I just, I can't sign off on this Marco.
I see.
I hope she's alright.
Really something, huh?
Well, I don't really know, sir.
I'm not very experienced with female form.
What?
Yeah. I'm gay.
It's true.
(chuckles) You're not
gay. You're engaged.
I am engaged, but, and I love them.
I just never said he was a man.
Well, first, (mumbles).
Okay.
Congratulations.
Thank you. I thought you would fire me.
No, no. Why would I do that?
Because you would have a gay secretary?
No!
I mean, look, I mean, I
hire male secretaries,
'cause I want to avoid
sexual harassment suits.
I mean and this is certainly
a gay change, game changer!
But I've, you know, your
work's always been exceptional,
except this, of course,
this is a shit show,
but, I wouldn't not keep you on because,
now I kind of have to keep you, don't I?
Otherwise I can sue you?
Yeah.
I won't, sir.
That's not my leg
touching you, by the way.
No.
Bertolami.
Bertolami.
So how does it work in the holidays?
Like, do you go visit
his parents or does he,
does he, does he visit yours?
Well, it depends.
It's Christmas at mine.
Easter at his.
Or vice versa.
Very democratic.
[Enrico] It's me!
Come on now, Enrico!
Okay. Look what?
How can I help you, man?
Huh? The ways you helped her.
What?
You called Bertolami, didn't you?
Please, call him again.
Wasn't it the last call the minister made?
You're a little shit.
Call him. Go ahead.
This helps no one.
(phone rings)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
It's your phone?
Just trying to help.
And you? What you have to say?
She calls Bertolami and
it's you on the other end?
Typical.
Oscar winning performance, Martini.
In the role of the man.
What did she just say?
Oh, a compliment, sir.
Wasn't I your most trusted man?
Yeah.
Yeah. You were.
I trusted you.
And you're turning your back on me.
That was the trial.
And now we can make it right.
We can make it right right now.
Hmm.
What about Sylvia?
What about Sylvia?
Leave my wife out of this.
You always told me that
I was part of the family,
but I, I never met her.
I never met her either.
And trust me, you never will.
What do you think? Shall we call her?
She has nothing to do with this.
Now let's talk cash,
'cause clearly that's what-
- You think cash can solve your problems?
You really are a pig.
The classes between the classes exist,
especially where classes are absent.
All right, enough Confucius.
Now, listen, we there's nothing
to be embarrassed by here.
Okay?
What are you doing? What are you doing?
Repent!
- What am I, Fredo?
- Repent!
Just, I mean, come on man!
You're just your little,
you're trying my patience.
Patience is everything in life.
You know? Do you know
much patience I've had?
Excuse me?
What exactly you were in prison for?
Falsifying financial records.
The truth will come out.
You're going to love what I
have on this little device.
What is that?
It's a screenplay for my film.
Jesus.
Did you write it or did you steal it?
I have a little role for you.
Yeah. Careful, honey.
No matter what he says,
never sleep with a writer.
I don't have to sleep with anybody.
Fair enough.
My role is perfect for you.
He is a real prick.
And you, feel free to improvise.
Thank you.
Careful what you wish for.
He's a very complex and
multifaceted personality.
Hmm. Now, we can have a little talk.
Come on.
Come on, guys.
Go ahead.
Yeah, go ahead.
Please.
Now, we are going to play a little game.
Come on, everyone on the sofa.
I thought he missed those.
I think they heard it in Otranto.
Now, we are going to play
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
Eeny, meeny, miny,
moe was in your script?
Yeah.
We're not doing the Eeny,
meeny, miny, moe scene anymore.
Oh yes, we are doing
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
I love Eeny, meeny, miny,
moe. It's my favorite to sing.
Do you have the fake finger?
I think he's serious.
Eeny-meeny...
Okay. What do you want?
No. (screams)
I want you to confess.
To confess what?
That all was bullshit!
Catch a tiger by the toe.
Which part?
If he hollers let him, go.
This lie you are telling
the public with this farce.
Eeny,
meeny,
- Okay.
- Miny,
What? All right, look!
All right, it was me, it was me! Me all!
Okay, I did it! It was me. Io!
It was all bullshit, okay?
And we were going to leak to the media,
showing me in a affair with a
woman I had never met before.
Lovely actress.
And you, my friend,
were going to rob us posed as an immigrant
Romanian, I think with a
very believable accent.
And I was going to save
the day and prove heroic
in the eyes of the nationalist voters.
Happy?
So ironic. Coming from an immigrant.
You took the job.
Now is the hypocrisy.
Let's examine the full
extent of your treachery.
You'll never work in
this province again.
Can I take my finger?
Yes.
You two stay here.
Giorgio and I are going to
have a nice private chat.
Why don't you use the relax room?
That's a very good
idea. The, the relax room.
Yes, is a, is a perfect
place for a private chat.
It's very private and, and very
- Relaxing.
- Relaxing, yes.
Sounds like the perfect place
for the tooth to come out.
The, for the tooth to come out?
The tooth!
Look, the man, we just did the finger.
I don't know if we can.
I don't have a tooth.
Okay.
- You said tooth.
- I said truth,
sounds like tooth.
I never lost one of
your social engagements.
Such parties to masquerade callers.
Invitation all the TV shows.
And what?
A bullshitter.
That was the job description. Yeah.
Get on with it. Would you?
What is your, what's the play?
What's your play man?
I'm getting high in here. Okay?
You mean my screenplay?
[Georgio] Seriously?
Yes.
Fuck, this is it?
- Yes, this is it.
- Okay, let's do it.
Wait, the role of Giorgio?
And I read role of-
- Enrico?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.
We're doing this now.
Don't gimme me that sad face, Giorgio.
You remind me of when I was in prison.
That's your line. All right.
Okay.
I want to cry,
but I sucked it up every single day.
I'm sorry!
(tense music)
Finally!
Now Minister Martini will
explain why I, Enrico Altieri,
had to do five years in prison.
I don't un, I don't understand
what you're trying to do.
We all make mistakes.
Tell me why I did the time!
Because you wanted to do it your way.
This is what you told the court.
I'm sure there must
have been another episode
that I missed, one that I didn't know of?
Perhaps a few?
That's enough!
No. Line says I shout here.
- Shout.
- No, no!
So, talk! Talk fat fuck!
What was I, what did I do?
You, you played tennis
and you know what?
You know what?
You had talent.
When you were 20, you
could have been a champion,
but it takes more than
talent to be the best.
It takes heart, and height.
And that you never had.
Okay.
And so the years went by
and you became just
another washed up athlete,
giving bored housewives lessons
and fucking them on the side.
And to make some extra money,
you started putting the fix on matches.
You were just a common,
low life piece of shit,
until I came along and saved your ass.
You're right.
You saved me, if you want to call it that.
You brought me in your so-called family
and you made me an important man.
Yes.
But there was a price for that.
Yes!
I, covered your eyes, and forget.
I burned my soul and I lost
five years rotting in prison.
And now, I am a man with no
life, no money, no family!
All these years being your right-hand man!
And, what do I have to show for it?
Obviously the 400 euros a month
that you drop into my account.
So you...
So you can feel good about,
so you can feel good,
so you can wash the feet
of your wife and your son!
Fuck you!
There's only the two of us.
No one can hear you.
It's not really them I'm
worried about, you know?
What made it.
You cheated me. You screwed me over.
And I took it and I kept
quiet for some change.
You raised me, your
chief financial officer,
thrown out like a piece of garbage!
Who set me up? Who?
No one, no one set you up!
We agreed.
We agreed.
It was graft.
Okay, it was graft.
You signed, okay. You
signed, you go to jail.
We agreed.
We, you, five months, five
months is all, not five years!
You made it five years,
you fucking lunatic!
Like anger management.
That's all I can recommend.
I'm sorry.
This is why your wife left you. Okay.
This is why, not my fault!
So take some fucking responsibility
for once in your god damn life.
Jesus Christ.
It's never you.
If I would've said Enrico,
go jump in front of a train,
would you do it?
Si!
Yes!
Going into politics
against someone is easy.
Just like in business, I suppose.
And I've done that many times,
but going into politics
for an ideal, for a belief,
that's where the true beauty lies.
The world needs more of that beauty.
Like in business, I imagine.
Be proud of that kind of beauty.
Go into politics for your
children, for your future.
Go forward with a brave
heart for the less fortunate,
not for the pleasure of
your corporate masters.
This video of your alleged
affair and kidnapping
has been all over the world.
It's been viewed by millions.
Honestly, it's a little puzzling.
More so because of the fact
that you, Minister Martini,
admittedly staged at all
to fool the Italian voting public,
and leaked and added
surveillance tape yourself
of your admission to the fact.
Yes, I did.
Then agreed to drop all
charges against your kidnapper,
an ex-business associate,
even though it appears
he meant to actually
to cause you harm in the end.
Look, if you wanna be
happy for one moment,
then you avenge yourself.
But if you wanna be happy for
a lifetime, then you forgive.
Look, I didn't press charges because,
because as crazy as it
sounds, he, he opened my eyes.
They all did.
Everyone who was present that
long and informative day,
I am deeply indebted to.
Marco, how many times
have I taken your, your,
your generosity and your
professionalism for granted?
How hard it must have been to,
to maintain my private life
while keeping your life
private and your life partners.
Thanks, Marco.
At times, dangerous roads are
taken a blessing in disguise,
as it happens with Pamela.
Your profound insights are a testament
that beauty is much more than skin deep,
and that likes are just
are wants, but only less.
But you are so much more.
Thank you, Pamela.
(country music)
You know, everyone has their demons.
Mine just happens to
be a guy named Enrico.
And I'm okay with that.
You know, they say you have
to embrace your shadow,
even if it doesn't exactly
match your physical form.
The sooner we accept
that the better, I think.
I won't deny that in life
circumstance plays a vital role.
A man makes plans, the universe laughs.
Could have been me in that place.
Pretty soon it will be.
Don't worry, Georgio's the new orange.
A friend of mine taught
me a little something
about responsibility
while I was lecturing him
on the subject I might add.
Tonight, you've seen me with my flaws.
I stand naked before
you for the first time.
Maybe not the first time,
I'm really not sure,
there might have been
cameras in that bedroom.
I, I really can't remember.
Might be. Lost track.
But I want you to see me as I am. A man.
People think that
politicians are unreachable.
I'm here to tell you that
that's just not true.
And that is really what
I came here to show you
because I am a live streamer now.
You can watch me every
day at gogeorgiogo. go
But you already have
millions of follower.
I can only imagine what that
is going to mean to your base,
and to your position, your party.
I know, it's, but you will see,
you'll, you'll, you'll
all see that I'm just,
that I am just like you, like you,
only, probably more rich and
certainly more famous, but-
- And under investigation.
Indictment, please get
it right, Carlo, okay?
I've, you know, I worked
hard for this, okay?
Don't shortchange me.
Now enough for the monitors.
Not, all right, look.
I want you to know.
I have the blind certainty of my beliefs
and the flexibility of character
suited for public service.
I think I have your
friendship and your affection.
I'm really not certain until
I finally learn your language.
And I promise to get on that
as soon as I get out of prison,
which I hope will be soon.
As soon as I get in, which
I hope will be sooner.
We're also working on
that and we're in talks
to hopefully live stream from
the general public in there.
The rest of the time
will be in house arrest,
though comfortable,
I don't think it will provide
as much interesting content,
but feel free to send us any questions.
We'll be sending updates on prison tats
and recipes from in the inside.
Please don't send any, any
contraband in any cakes.
I don't wanna extend my, my sentence any.
Buddy of mine knows all
about that. Don't you Enrico?
I'm grateful for the time you afforded me
and the kind invitation to
participate in your process.
And I, I also want to throw a shout out
to Pamela's Instagram at Pamela Galante.
Okay?
And a very special thank
you to my wife, Sylvia,
who has forgiven my weaknesses
and transformed them for me.
Thank you, Sylvia.
You are always there for me.
Thank you. Where are you, honey?
Stand up, babe.
All right, look,
if you're still gonna
withhold your trust for me,
just remember one thing-
- At at, Pamela Galante, I'm sorry.
(gentle music)
If someone judges your path,
let them walk in your shoes.
If they can fit in them
or something better.
Eh, wasn't that it?
Anyway, ciao duty. Anyway, bye-bye!
I'll see you.
(applause)
Waiting long?
A bit.
Ah, sorry. No time
is me time these days.
Thanks for coming. I
ordered your favorite tea.
Oh, no. No thank you.
So I see you have over
2 million followers.
Business is good.
I getting closer to 15,
but did you invite me here to dazzle?
Did you have something
important to talk about?
Well, there's a client and they want to
finance a reality show.
He wants to work with us!
You mean me?
And Martini.
Of course, Martini.
Won't be cheap.
I didn't expect it to be.
Okay.
Tell your client if they
want to do the show,
they cover production
costs and we take 50%.
50%?
They never go for that.
If they want our faces in the show.
That's the deal.
If they wait I tell 15
million, the cost would be 16.
Okay. I make it happen.
Okay, good. I like it
when you do your job.
Is 15 million going to make you happy?
Happy doesn't matter
when you are the one
that decide what makes people happy.
[Georgio] I won't deny
that in life circumstance
A man makes plans the universe laughs.
Could have been me in that place.
Pretty soon it will be.
Don't worry. Georgio's the new orange.
A friend of mine taught
me a little something
about responsibility,
while I was lecturing him
on the subject, I might add.
Tonight, you've seen me with my flaws.
I stand naked before
you for the first time.
Maybe not the first time.
I'm really not sure.
There might have been
cameras in that bedroom.
I, I really can't remember.
Might be. Lost track.
But I want you to see me as I am. A man.
People think that
politicians are unreachable.
Well, I'm here to tell
you tonight, they're not,
because I wanted to show you that
I am now a live streamer.
You can now watch me and
follow me at gogeorgiogo.go.
What did I miss?
[Enrico] Nothing big, really.
You were standing naked before us.
Exactly.
- Hey.
- Oh, in prime time!
That's a very noble concern. I know.
You know, they're considering
me for prime minister.
I should make you Minister of Education.
No, thank you.
I want a position with the some power.
I want my own talk show.
In what language?
(snorts)
As crazy as it sounds.
What about you, Marco?
How does Minister of Culture sound?
Hmm. Like the name of a rapper.
I can see that.
Yeah. See what you did there.
But I like it. Thank you.
Cheers.
Enrico. Marco.
I can't offer you a low
level position in government
due to your felony conviction.
That's unfortunately
reserved for higher offices,
but I would very much like you to
come back to work with
me at Geodio Enterprises.
- No, thank you, Georgio.
- Okay.
Oh, sorry.
Thanks.
But, I have a feeling, I
know how that may end up.
Besides,
As it happens,
I have some personal projects
I'm working on right now.
All right. Okay.
As a matter of fact,
I really must be going.
[Georgio] But you have so much promise.
Thank you, Pamela.
Thank you.
Mine just happens to
be a guy named Enrico.
I'm okay.
You know, they say you have
to embrace your shadow,
even if it doesn't exactly
Hey. Yo, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Is there any way I can
get you to reconsider?
Because I really think
that I need you right now.
No, you don't. Trust me.
I carried you around for a long while.
I just realized that the
only thing it was good for
was get rid of you.
No, none taken.
Did you write that?
- I suppose.
- Yeah, it was good.
Wish I did.
I'm gonna read this.
Is there more?
Is that the personal project
you were you're gonna work on?
No, I just said that
to get away from you.
Oh, okay.
And yes, there was more.
You know, in prison,
I wrote one act plays.
Really?
See, I would've never,
I would've never guessed that about you.
Yeah.
One was about Tim Buckley
meeting Jeff Buckley
and in afterlife and Chama with her son.
Okay. Now that is insane!
In the very best sense of the word.
Oh.
And another is about a man in submarine
that malfunctions at 500 meters.
And he writes a sonnet in Morse code
before oxygen runs out.
Dude, you are killing me right now.
Right. And, and, and there are more.
Yeah, but you don't know me, really.
Excuse me, but now I have to go.
Huh?
All right.
All right. But can I still call you?
And you have Marco's number, right?
I mean, he could, we can,
I guess parents are coming back too.
And I, I guess it might be a good idea
if you come back and clear
up some of those landmines,
and you get, if you're
in the neighborhood,
I guess they can put us on a group text
or something like that.
But if it's convenient,
or don't worry about it.
I reach out.
I should really get going now.
Yeah, I don't hold you up.
Man, thanks for coming,
all right? Thank you.
Good to see you.
You're gonna like me again.
