IT'S NO GOOD FOR A MAN TO BE LONELY

Goodbye, my dear. I'll call you.

-Good morning, Mr. Martin. -Good morning, Monica.

Would you come here, please?

Hello, sweetheart.

Did I wake you up? Sorry

It's very cold. You have to be careful.

You have to, Elena. You know it.

Well, I have to dictate to Monica now.

Yes, I'll call you back later. Goodbye, dear.

Is your wife better?

No, she's not getting better.

Write this down:

To Cantieri Banotti from Geneve

Subject: scrapping of Rontin ship.

Well, it's the same we told the Lionet from Marseille.

You can look for the copy and do it the same way.

That's all. Thank you.

-Are you tired? -A little.

Do you want to go to bed now?

Well, if you want...

Come on, ket's go. Let me take you, ok?

What things you think of...

You wanted it

I've spoken to the CEO today.

He was very kind to me.

I don't want to get my hopes up, but maybe I'll be promoted.

Mr. Alfonso told me he wants to have a party

for the opening of the new plant

You know, the whole board and their wifes

We're both invited.

I told him you weren't fully recovered yet.

I know you'd like to come with me

Me, too. But it's too soon.

You could have a relapse. You shouldn't get excited...

or stay up all night

If by then you're better, I'll promise you'll come with me

Don't think I like to see you always shut away here.

Sorry.

I don't let you sleep

I'm sorry.

Good night, darling.

Like every night.

Pretty... Let's have a drink.

I've already told you that'll be tomorrow

Come on! Why not now?

-Lina, what's the matter? -Weren't you leaving? Bye, then.

Katie, what are you doing here?

-Marilyn escaped. -I can't believe it.

She did, mum. Mauro came and she escaped.

Did Mauro come here?

Do you realize why I don't want you to go out?

I don't want you to find people like them.

I know it's sad to be always lonely

You'll have company soon.

It's a surprise.

-Come on, go to bed. -Would you tuck me in?

Go to bed right now, did hear me?

-Why did you let her out at this time? -Take it easy, Lina.

I have enough being your babysitter.

My babysitter? You're just a pimp.

Don't be vulgar.

I've told you.

-You haven't say hello like a "lady". -Leave me alone.

You're a litle nervous today...

-I'm the way I want it. -Lina, watch out.

-Go to hell! -Be careful, you know I'll beat you.

Beat your mother!

Son of a bitch! I'll kill you.

I'll kill you!

Marilyn, Marilyn.

Hello.

She always escapes.

-Aren't your parents looking for you? -I'm with my mum.

We live over there.

We're going to the parish now. I have to make my First Holy Communion

That's fine. Go and make it.

No, they're still teaching me how to be good.

Sure, sure. Go and be good.

-What's your name? I'm... -Katie, don't bother him!

I'm always running after her. Pardon her.

Katie, leave him alone.

Good morning, I beg you pardon.

Don't mention it.

We must improve these scrapping procedures.

There are more modern systems we should adopt.

By the way, the opening of the new plant is getting closer.

And I want you tu come with the company of your wife.

I wish I had, Mr. Alfonso.

Why don't your wife get over it?

Do you want me to send you my doctor?

No, no, thank you very much.

I appreciate it, but she's not seriously ill.

It's... just slow.

This summer, maybe...

-Doesn't this climate agree with her? -No

-Where's she from? -From the south.

-If she had five children like mine...

you'd see how fast she adapted herself.

Hello

You lost your cat again.

It's a she.

Your mother must be looking for you.

She sent me to play.

But not here.

Have you undestood? Go.

Don't you have any children?

But someone does live with you. I've seen her.

When?

Over there, in that window. The other day when you were fixing the blind

-Go somewhere else to play. -It's broken.

She used to say mum and dad. But she can't talk anymore.

Fix it, please.

Why do you think I can fix it?

Because you're old.

She stopped suddenly.

see?

A doll who doesn't talk is useless, don't you think?

"I'm Mae"

"I'm a good child."

-"I love you". -Thank you.

You did know how to fix it.

-Go to play. -Goodbye.

"I love you all"

"I want to go to the movies"

"Give me a kiss"

Elena, it's me.

Mum!

-Didn't you send her to the garden? -No, don't you see it's raining?

Baby, you're soaking

Look, she can talk again.

-You've fixed it very well -It wasn't me, it was our neighbor.

I told you not to talk to anybody.

-He's so weird... -Why is he weird?

He's afraid of me.

Don't get distracted, Elena

It's very easy.

Give it to me.

See?

You know very well how to do it if you want to

Embroidering is so boring...

It gives you pause.

When you make something with your hands, your mind rests.

If you say so...

Can you see?

I had to close the blinds.

I hate nosy people.

Unfortunately, it's plenty of people like that.

Don't you find that house weird?

You only see a guy coming in and out

Your daughter said he was weird and now you're making things up

He's strange, why is his house always closed?

Maybe he doesn't like light or your daughter, she's so irritating!

The poor thing doesn't have any friends and tries to amuse herself.

Just like her mother. But you have someone to play with

Don't talk nonsense.

Here.

-Thank you. -You're welcome, Mr. Martin.

Come here, let's dance.

-Straight whiskey, baby. -I'm Lina.

Whatever.

All of that is yours... let me see.

Just to let you see me better.

What are you doing, you fool.

Tell Lina not to be rude

Mauro said you should't be rude What's the matter?

Nothin, but I don't like his kind. And I could break his nose.

Never mind, but watch your own nose.

Listen baby, do you like being rough?

Who knows.

Watch your friend out. If she doesn't behave herself I'll fire her

-The guy's a moron -He's a good client.

Listen, Dario, why don't you like Lina?

You know it very well.

-She isn't a stylish woman. -What do you want me to do?

She has her faults, just like you do.

Leave me alone.

This bitch isn't good for you

But I am...

Don't start it.

Don't get puritan, that's not you.

Come, let's talk in a quieter place.

It'd do you good.

Elena, it's me.

Hello. You hadn't told me you had a doll.

It's beautiful. Much more than mine.

How did you come in?

I'm not telling you.

-Have anyone seen you? -I don't know.

-Well, let's go. -Wait

-What's your doll's name? -Elena.

-Don't you let me comb her hair? -No, no, no. It's enough.

Are you mad at me?

-You mustn't enter someone else's house.

Are you going to tell my mum?

Listen to me, Katie.

I won't tell your mother on one condition.

What?

You won't tell your mother either.

It will be our secret.

Do you like we have a secret?

Yes.

But don't tell anyone.

No one.

Look

I...

I have that doll because I have to fix it for someone.

Who for?

-A friend of mine. -Do you have to give it back?

Yes.

Remember that you have to keep our secret.

I'll give you a very nice present.

When?

Tell me, when are you going to give that present?

Very soon.

Can I play with Elena until you give her back?

I'll let you know. Don't tell anyone, anyone.

-Go home. -Goodbye.

For you.

For you.

And this one for me.

To you, Lina.

Cheers.

It's none of my bussiness, Mauro and the boss have been away for a while

-You disgust me! -What are you doing? Stop it

I can't be mad at you.

I can't reproach you for letting her in

And even combing your hair...

I'm the only one who can do that, though.

Do you want to go for a walk?

We both need a bit of fresh air.

Work, bedroom, memories, reconciliation, breakfast, walks...

Go on your own. I'll call you tomorrow.

-Are you coming back with that jerk? -I said I'll call you tomorrow

-No way, you hear me? -Lina, enough!

-I don't want to see you again.

-Did you tell her she's fired? -I'll tell her tomorrow.

On the phone.

Fucking bastards!

Open up

-Good evening. -Good evening.

You can't park here.

I'm sorry.

The documents, please.

Let's go, Martin, I'm tired.

-She's my wife. -Really?

Can I see her papers?

It's OK. Go.

Good evening.

People are weird.

We can't go out anymore.

I know it was embarrassing

Sorry.

Do you remember I had a surprise for you?

I'm going to tell you what it is

Your sister is coming tomorrow.

Are you happy?

Paula will keep you company.

When I'm not with you.

"I'll tell you my problem..."

"I'm 21 and had a love affair. My parents didn't like it"

I don't like cream.

"He's really interested in me..."

-Drink your milk. -It's too hot.

"My dear, you have to accept your parent'a decision"

Yes?

What do you want?

You, sons of a bitch!

You know what? Go and fuck yourselves

I'll get over it on my own.

"We only have our values"

Are you upset?

Do you want to tell you a secret?

But don't tell anyone.

Our neighbor has a blonde doll.

She's as tall as you.

Don't talk nonsense. Drink your milk.

I'm not talking nonsense.

He doesn´t have a wife, just a big doll. Her name's Elena.

It's in his room.

-Leave me alone. -It's true, it's true!

Paula

We want you to make yourself comfortable.

Your sister missed you.

She needed you.

We're really glad you came.

To you.

To my family.

Ladies and gentlemen!

My dear family

I'm happy tonight.

And I really want you to join in my happness.

The only two people that fulfill my life.

Paula

and above all Elena.

-Yes? -Could I speak to the lady, please?

-What number are you calling? -32-21-36

Yes, this is it.

But there's no lady here.

We've had fun.

Your sister is a charming woman.

I saw it.

What did you see?

That you found her charming.

I don't know what you mean.

You paid more attention to her.

Elena...

Are you jealous?

We've never had an argument.

Don't get mad at me today.

Why don't you go to bed?

All right.

Good night, sweetheart.

Good night.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow, Elena.

-Yes? -His wife on the second line.

-Tell me. -Who did you say?

His wife.

-Are you sure? -Yes, sir.

All right, put her through

Yes?

Hello, my dear. I'm Elena.

-Who do you say you are? -Your wife, Elena.

That's not possible.

Why not?

Who are you? What do you want?

I'm Katie's mother. The child who was in your house.

Do you remember me?

Yes.

But I don't understand this stupid joke.

Katie told me everything.

The three of us know the secret now.

Well, the four of us counting your doll. What do you think?

I don't understand what do you want.

I'll explain to you at your house tomorrow

Not at my house!

In your office then.

Not here either.

Where would you like to meet?

It's OK, I'll wait for you at my house.

At nine.

OK.

What are you up now?

Not much... Don't be gossip.

You always get into trouble.

That's why you can't find a job.

Do you want my advice?

Keep it. This time everything is going to be fine.

First your duaghter and now you. Why don't you leave me alone?

Don't be angry.

What kind of woman you are?

Don't you realize yet?

I do know what kind of man you are.

-Me? -Yes.

Shy, passionate, repressed...

But above all rich.

You're wrong.

No, I know.

What do you care? It's none of your bussiness.

It depends. I don't care about your doll.

I've seen worse things.

If I tell you...

But what if your friends know too

I don't have any friends.

Or the people in your company.

It's not a crime.

It doesn't have to be a crime. A scandal is enough.

Have you thought what your bosses will think?

I get paid for my work. Not for what I do at my house.

What you do at home is important in this country.

You can lose you career.

Let's finish it. How much do you want?

There are more important things

What do you mean?

You're alone, so do I.

We can help each other.

-I don't need you. -Are you sure?

Do you think you can hide your secret if I know it?

Tell me how much and leave.

I've already told it's not only about money.

Look, I'm not happy either.

I'm sick and tired of wandering with my daughter.

What I need is...

This.

This?

Aren't you telling me...

I want to live with you.

That's it.

Spite of the luxury, you need a real woman.

-What you're saying doesn't make any sense. -How can you talk about...

-...having a doll as your wife.

Do you want me to tell everyone?

If you have any heirs they'll lock you up.

-I'm not crazy! -Sure?

I'm not! I'm not afraid of your threats. You're just a bi...

Watch your words

Leave! Get out of here!

Not very long

Think it over for two days

Then we'll meet again.

She wants to live here.

I don't know how to stop her.

She knows that such a scandal would destroy my life and career

Why can't I live the way I like it. I don't hurt anyone!

If I don't give in to that

She'll eventually take just the money

If she keeps threating me

I'll give her more money. More, more!

All of it, all of my money!

No, she won't live here.

No, she won't dare.

Hello, my dear.

Don Martin, I'm glad to meet your wife. She looks fully recovered.

Pardon me?

He got distracted again. He only thinks about his work.

Sorry for coming here, my dear. But I needed to see you.

Don't forget what I told you.

Well, It was nice to meet you. I was so excited about meeting you.

-Me too, Monica. -Do you need anything from me?

No, thank you.

How do you dare?

I warned you, my dear.

It's been three days.

Let finish it.

-How much? -I told you I didn´t want only money.

Don't you realize? The people here think I'm you're wife.

I can tell them the truth, if you prefer so.

Monica has told me about an opening party.

It'll be a good chance for everybody to meet your wife.

It's not that hard. You can keep on with your life

I'm very understanding.

Is that OK, Martin?

I see that you're not only shy, passionate, repressed and rich

but intelligent, too.

Ladies

Gentlemen.

Members of the board. Dear colleagues of this family which is our company.

I want to start this meeting with some of my father's words

The man who founded this company.

-Did you know Freire's wife? -Nobody knew her.

It's the first time I see her.

-She's nice. -She's good-looking.

-You mean she's hot.

Why is he so weird having a woman like that?

-What's his illness? -Nobody knows.

-She seems cheeky. -You find cheeky every beatiful woman.

-I think she's vulgar. -I think she's divine.

We finally meet her.

-What a bunch of stupids. -Someone's going to recognize her.

They're going to realize.

You didn't talk to me since we went out.

I think I did it very well.

Martin

Don't you want anything from me?

Mum!

Katie, go to sleep.

-Did you see? We have a new boss. -He seems a good guy.

No, a boss is a boss.

Will we stay here forever?

Forever, for sure. But you'll go to an in-house school.

You must study and have friends.

-When will I go? -Martin will tell us later. He's taking care of it.

Why can't I play with the big doll?

Listen to me, you can play in the garden or in this floor...

but don't ever go upstairs.

-Never ever? -You'll do what I tell to.

I don't want any trouble.

-This is Martin. -Hold on, I'll get it.

Go and play.

Hello, Lina.

Let me in, don't be rude.

-Who told you I was here? -Come on, I know everything about you

What do you want?

First of all, I have to congratulate you.

You've settled in really well.

You're smarter than I thought.

What about you? How's your master?

My what? Listen to me, Lina. You know it.

I'm my own master.

Good for you. Now you can leave.

What a fool you are.

Changing your life isn't like changing your haircut.

Get out of here!

Darling, I only want to help you.

You know you can't do anything without me. You need me.

Admit it.

Hello, Martin.

I've cooked a great dinner. Will you come?

I'm not hungry.

Did you take care of the school of Katie?

We have to take her there next Sunday.

There were other things here. Where are they?

They were so corny... I haven't seen a calendar in the whole house

It's better to know what day we are in.

I spent hours tidying everything up.

You should be grateful!

This is a indecency.

Leave everything like you found it. Our deal was...

We didn't have a deal!

This house is full of junk!

It's unbearable, Elena.

But it's not my fault.

It's not yours, either. I know.

They've invaded our home.

They've destroyed our intimacy.

There must be a solution.

I'll find it.

What are you doing here? What do you want?

I was a little rude before. I apologise.

I want to show you that here...

I can play the role of wife too.

Get out of here.

There are things you can't force certain men to do.

But I want you to take out of the bed that disgusting doll.

No!

Mum, didn't you hear Marilyn shout? I don't find her.

Let's go to bed. Tomorrow I'll take care of your kitten.

I assure you.

What did they do to you?

Then, her name was Paula.

I told you I can't stand those dolls in my house.

-This house's mine. -Get that rubbish out of here.

I'll burn it myself.

Get rid of the other one or I'll take care of her.

Not Elena.

-Don't you dare. -You'll dare.

Or... if you like it more, we can introduce her to your bosses.

What are you going to do with that?

It's the best solution, Elena. It will be simply.

We must be brave. Then we'll be together forever.

Forgive me. I'm a coward.

I'm a coward.

1-2-3-4-5-6...

7-8-9-10... My ball bounces and jumps

Why aren't you sleeping at this time?

A polite man like you shouldn't come in without knocking

-Who's he? -What a stupid question.

How do you dare to get him at my house?

Leave, do you hear me? Get out of here right now.

listen, the one who has to leave right now is you.

-Take it easy. -You don't want me to make love in your room...

let me make it in mine.

-This isn't a brothel. -Of course not. Lina isn't a whore, either.

So get out of here.

-Everything is OK. Congratulations. -Thank you.

-You too. -Why?

-Don't you know yet? I shouldn't have told you.

-What do I have to kanow? -You're going to be promoted.

Don Alfonso is preparing a party at his house to celebrate it.

-A party for who? -For you and your wife, who else?

Be still.

Put aside that doll, don't you see it's in my way?

Where are your gloves?

We'll be late

Mum, where will be Marilyn? I want to sya goddbye to her.

-Nonsense! -She'll be hungry!

Marilyn

Where are you, Marilyn? I'm going to school.

Come out!

Marilyn, they're waiting for me.

Where are you?

It's OK.

Did you get locked in?

-What are you doing up here in the loft? -Is it called loft?

-What were you doing? -looking for my cat.

Listen. Katie.

You did't keep our secret once.

But I know you'll keep it this time.

Don't tell anyone I was up here. Will you?

-Swear to me! -I swear.

-I'll buy you a little dog. You'll have it when you come on vacation.

But don't tell anyone I was here.

I won't tell anyone.

You swore.

Where are you?

Here, mum!

I'm coming.

I was saying goodbye to Martin.

Hurry up, we're going to be late.

I can take her to school if you want

No, thank you. I want to talk to the nun.

It's better.

Can I take the car?

Thank you.

-I'll be back late. -I usually don't go out on Sunday.

Goodbye, Martin.

What did Martin tell you when you where upstairs?

Do you hear me? What did Martin tell you?

How would you call a little dog?

Don't think I'm a coward.

I'm so stunned...

Without the child it will be different.

You'll see.

Everything will be like it used to.

Nobody will bother you again.

Trust me.

It will be only a minute.

I'm going to make it clear.

Hello.

How's the family doing?

They left you watching the house like a doggy doggy.

Who gave you that set of keys?

Come on, don't ask silly questions now.

Since we're alone, let's talk about bussiness.

Like good friends.

Don't you get me a drink?

It's OK. Then I'll get you one.

That's Elena, of course.

The sweet, tender, faithful...

selfless and perfect wife.

Well...

How do you do?

Do you know? She's nice. Honestly.

I know about women.

What's more, she doesn't talk

She's prudent, discreet, perfect.

I'm sure she's never been unfaithful to you.

Listen, you're not as crazy as I thought.

Nice haircut.

She has every detail. You have a refined taste.

Then his name was Mauro.

Get that rubbish out of here or I'll burn it myself.

No, thank you.

-This Freire is a weird guy. -I like him.

The party is for him and he didn't show up.

It's almost eleven. And the only one missing is our honoree.

He'll be arriving any minute now. He's very punctual.

That's Freire.
