Turn around! One.

And two.

And three.

And four.

And change! Look at me.

Again! From the top.

Four!

You're on fire! Let's boil that water, girls.

Go! Go! From the top.

Feel it, Alice! One!

-How did it go? -Very good.

-Bye. -Ciao. See you next week.

Did you send me my horoscope this morning?

Yes, but don't read it, otherwise you'll start crying.

But you haven't sent me anything, Tio.

There you go, Luisa. That's a typical Capricorn attitude.

I'm a Taurus, actually.

Yes, a long time ago.

Bye.

Hey!

Still alive? Here, here.

You know what? I prefer you as an actor. [pants]

I think your students need to be tested for doping.

They're either taking drugs or this is, uh…

the pool in Cocoon.

Wait.

Next time,

switch off your phone.

[upbeat music plays]

TAURUS

Look at this.

WHAT'S UP, ALICE? FANCY A DRINK?

ARE YOU SHY? I DON'T BITE!

He messaged me again.

You're saying that an Aries and I aren't compatible?

The funny thing is that, usually, I meet someone in a bar or at work.

-Mm-hmm. -I've never considered astrology as--

I just told you how I do it. Okay?

So, hold on. You really only date astrologically-compatible people?

[Tio] Mm.

-It never fails? -It's worked so far.

Wait, look. Luca's a little eager, but he's so cute!

[sighs] Of course he's eager.

The more you run away, the more he chases after.

He's an Aries, afterall!

Your signs are on opposite sides of the Zodiac, okay?

He rushes into things too hastily and makes a show of his feelings,

while you, instead, as a true Libra,

always make too much of an effort to balance your needs and those of others.

In other words, someone like that will eat you alive.

But not all Aries are equal.

Libras likewise. They can all be different, no?

He could be a vegetarian. Just saying.

-Hi. -Hi!

-How are you? -Super well, you?

Great, thanks.

Listen. Um, semolina. Have it in stock?

Sure do.

Sagittarius,

so we're both restless and fun-loving at heart.

Thanks.

Anyway…

I don't know what you and this Luca are like. That's for sure.

-But… -But?

They do know. And very well.

GOODNESS IS IN THE STARS

-[Paola on phone] Very good. Alice… -[Alice] Mm-hmm.

-They're really yummy, aren't they? -[Paola] They may be good,

but I'm a little skeptical that these yummy cookies,

however delicious,

also hold the truth about everyone in the world.

Always such a smartass, Paola.

I get the charm of your new friend, Mr. Astrologist.

[puffing] But you're exaggerating. Call Luca!

He's a nice guy!

You need to loosen up a little.

Okay.

And I will consider.

Hey, what's going on?

Nothing. Why?

-[Paola] Are you at work? -Mm-hmm.

Remember, when you pitch to that new boss of yours,

chin high and look self-assured.

[chuckles]

Yes, but they're not my ideas.

I just assist Enrico in putting his together.

[Paola] You need to pitch your ideas to him.

-Paola, I'm not a writer. -[phone ringing in the distance]

And plus, Sardi's got my number if I slip at all.

[Paola] Just a teaspoon, okay?

-Come on, you'll like it. -No, thanks.

I don't want any pet insurance. That's good. Thanks a lot.

[phone beeps]

Hello.

Hi.

Cristina?

Yes?

There was a miscommunication with my message the other night.

That one part at the end…

-"I'm pissed"? -Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

What I really wanted to write was,

"I'm pissed because I couldn't see your big moment together as a couple."

It's just that I thought I'd see you the following day,

and so I deleted it, but evidently, I missed this.

-Sure, that was obvious. -[Alice laughs] Of course!

[Enrico] Alice!

That's enough chatting. Get back here!

I better, uh… I better go.

Hmm.

Always wasting time with your girl friends. We're late.

We're perfectly on time. And Cristina, excuse me, is not my friend.

Then you're screwing up. Always befriend your boss' assistants.

[Alice] You should talk to Sardi on your own.

Why?

No. We worked on it together, we should present it together.

-We're a team. -[phone buzzing]

-No, not this time. -One sec, it's important.

-Alice, no more-- No! -[Alice] Sorry!

[phone buzzing]

-Hi, Luca! -[Luca] Hi, Alice.

You never called me back.

Yeah, I know. A little hectic recently, but--

-[Luca] So? Shall we grab a beer? -Yeah, sure.

Tonight?

-What do you say? -Tonight?

-Yup. -[laughs] Sure.

Tonight's perfect, yes.

-Alright, I'll come to pick you up at 7. -Let's go. Come on!

I'll call you back in half an hour, okay?

-[Luca] Okay. -Bye. Sorry.

-Okay. Are you ready? -Mm-hmm.

-Take a deep breath. -[inhales deeply]

[Enrico] And for the last pitch, um,

and if I may say so, my favorite,

here it is.

We are convinced that a classic quiz show

could be a nostalgic attraction for a particular audience.

[mischievous music plays]

Alice?

Do you have anything to add to Enrico's brilliant presentation or no?

[chuckles]

No. I think that, more or less…

I was mainly responsible for the graphics.

Look, I can guarantee her contribution has always been wholly fundamental.

Essential, in fact. [clears throat]

[Davide] Sure enough.

All your ideas were presented very well.

Thank you.

Tonight I'll take the time for another look and be in touch.

Perfect. Thanks again for your time.

-Bye. -Thanks.

Miss Bassi.

Sorry to insist,

but I'm interested in your opinion on the ideas you pitched.

Do you like them?

Well, uh…

They were pretty good, sure.

Then we have the same taste, you and I.

But only for cookies.

Oh man, look at you!

I may as well give this night my best shot.

Plus, he's so, uh--

-[Tio] Sexy? -Hmm.

You've got it.

[sighs] What's wrong with that?

Nothing.

I'm just saying that, you know, don't get your hopes up.

That's all.

What have you got going?

[Tio] Semolina gnocchi.

And while we're speaking seriously, have you decided what to wear or not?

What do you think?

With a pair of jeans.

Oh. That's superb.

Yes. Your evening will end before it's even begun.

That's good. [chuckles]

Alice, we've discussed how the male Aries are totally carnivorous.

You gotta play the role of their tasty prey. Do you agree?

I'll open the top button, then.

Oh, dear Lord. Are you sure?

Come on. And those colors, Alice, seriously?

He will need prey with some…

Some… [clicks tongue]

…glamour.

That will drive the other boys to envy.

You need something…

rouge.

Red?

Uh, I don't got any red.

No, wait!

I've got this.

I wore it to a Halloween party with Carlo.

[Tio] Perfect.

-[woman] Tiziano! -Are you kidding?

Gran!

[grandmother] Who are you talking to?

Well, I'm talking to a good friend here. But I'm almost finished. Mm?

-Come here. -It's who? Rosaria?

Yes, it's Rosaria.

Rosa,

tell your son that he should cut his hair

It's really getting so long!

Be right there.

Sorry.

She mistook you for my mom.

Every so often, she gets things mixed up.

She's adorable.

Yes.

Listen, I gotta go now.

Be bold. And conquer.

Enjoy your evening. Have fun!

[phone chimes]

[door bell dings]

-Hi. -Hi.

Wow.

No-- Well, I'm on my way out.

And who's the lucky guy?

A colleague of Paola's.

Well, then a journalist. Must be an intellectual night.

Great choice.

I was putting it on to see how it looked.

[Carlo exhales]

What are you doing here?

I heard that you talked to Cristina today.

But why are you here?

Well, since we missed the celebratory toast the other night--

But I'm about to leave, Carlo.

Not yet. Just one. Will you give me that?

Thank you.

To the future.

[Alice] To your future.

I was wondering if we could do a rough edit of our movie a bit?

I got stuck at scene 52.

And it's missing your magic touch.

[both chuckle]

Like here. Here, look.

Remember your initial idea?

-Something like that. -[phone buzzing]

Oh, fuck! He's here!

[grunts]

Listen, it's chill if I stay here to work, right?

[Alice] What do you mean?

I can't think at my house now. It's impossible.

Cristina lives there now, and there's all her mess, and…

It's just chaos.

[Alice] You two are getting married. Shouldn't you start getting used to it?

Yeah, funny.

I require total silence.

Plus, we both know how your nights usually end up.

Nine times out of ten, you hate them and come back early.

That means we can get back to work.

Perfect!

Tonight I don't think I'll come back early.

[light chuckle]

Alright now. Aries or not, you are not coming home.

'Cause, hey, why not?

[church bell tolling]

Hi.

Sorry I'm late, Luca.

No worries.

After you.

Thanks.

Old school. I like it!

[engine turns over]

[indistinct chatter]

Do you like this place?

[loud music playing over speakers]

-Oh, sorry. -Oh.

Here, follow me.

Wait, wait. It's probably better if I'm there.

For one simple reason: there's a window.

There's a draft. I would never want you to catch a chill. [chuckles]

[Alice] Thoughtful.

[waiter] Here you go.

-Thanks. -What are these?

Americano, of course.

They're the best in the city.

[Alice] I would have preferred something else.

Actually, I…

Sorry, I thought I might have recognized someone.

Cheers.

The reality is that there are so many amazing places in the world

that I really couldn't even plan where I would start.

I'd like to take the Trans-Siberian again.

Hmm!

-You've done it? -Yes.

I went a couple of years ago, but my ex thought it was too cold,

and then she complained the whole time.

[girls laugh and chatter indistinctly]

So, I bet you've got your speech ready for when you win your Oscar.

Am I right?

[laughs] Come on…

It'd be very, very unlikely

that any kind of production assistant would win an Oscar.

[Luca] Mm.

-And you? -What?

What part of journalism do you think is the most compelling?

I like uncovering stories people choose to keep hidden.

Are you hiding any secrets?

Well…

-[sighs] I… -[phone chimes]

Excuse me. One minute.

CARLO: HOW LONG WILL YOU BE? I'M STRUGGLING HERE…

Good.

ALICE: I'LL BE A WHILE. I LIKE THE GUY. SORRY.

Hi!

You wanna eat something?

Can you get me a gin and tonic and a whisky sour, please?

What a coincidence!

Hi.

[Luca] I didn't think you still came here.

[girl] Well, here I am.

Alice?

This is Anna.

His name is Wolf.

[laughs loudly]

[Alice] Trans-Siberian!

Pleasure, Anna, and Wolf.

Pleasure to meet you.

His ex.

He brought me to their bar.

To their…

table, Tio.

She's got it all. She had…

Um, the miniskirt…

Her legs are amazing.

God, the red…

Shoes and um…

Wait.

Wait, let me check out her shoes. One sec.

She's perfect.

But you know all of this, right?

Do you think

one, two, three mini pizzas here…

Um… One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine…

Okay, ten olives,

will neutralize

Americanos on an empty stomach?

[laughing] Ah! Idiot. Voicemail. [sighs]

Wolf?

But is Wolf written on the birth certificate?

No.

No, Wolfgang is my surname.

Therefore…

You are not going home, Alice.

Have you been dating for long?

[scoffs] Nah, first date.

-From Tinder. -[Alice chuckles]

And you with…

Um, a friend.

A friend of a friend.

Which doesn't guarantee your night will go well, does it?

It seems not.

[laughs] No.

No, thanks. I'm already reeling over here.

It helps with the spinning. It will spin you in the other direction.

[Alice] You are not going home!

♪ Jerry Gary Ricky They're all the same ♪

[exhales]

And what is your sign, huh, Wolf?

Taurus.

Taurus.

Only if you've had a terrible accident that entirely prevents you from moving,

speaking, simply thinking,

or even just deciding

if it's best to breathe through your nose or your mouth.

Only in those cases,

when you're on the brink of death or comatose,

is Taurus, then, the best choice.

When a Taurus speaks,

a Taurus decides,

And nothing,

nothing…

prevents him from putting his plan in action.

That means your precious little opinions.

[Alice] Good thing you're not a Scorpio, huh?

[chuckles]

You'd be in hot water.

Ah, sure. Good to know, then.

My wise friend said.

He's brilliant, this guy.

-Have you got a brilliant friend? -Oh, no.

-All my friends are foolish. -[Alice laughs]

You're just gonna anger the bull like that, eh?

Hey!

Davide!

[Wolf] Alice. Do you know him?

-[Davide] What are you doing here? -Davide…

I want you to meet Wolf,

who lives right…

uh, there, in front.

It's chill. She's had a little to drink. She'll sober up soon.

[Davide] You okay?

Im fine.

[Davide] Okay.

[Davide sighs]

Davide.

Uh…

Could you give me a lift home by chance?

[Davide] Yeah.

[moans]

[Wolf] Bye, Alice.

[exhales]

[Davide] Are you dizzy?

Very.

Wait.

Um, do you always work so late?

-Here, drink some water. -Okay.

Wow, hey! Hey.

Wait.

[Davide grunts]

Bravo, Alice. That's how you do it.

-What did you say? -[Alice] Fuck!

[Davide chuckles]

You should drink more slowly.

Really.

Small sips, otherwise it's worse.

I'm fine.

I'm certain I can make all the right choices

for my big decisions.

[chuckles] Actually, I don't know.

I can't do it myself.

Not alone.

Who with, then?

[Davide chuckles]

Ah, yes. Too many people underestimate the wisdom of fairy lights.

[Alice chuckles]

The stars.

I think that we should all let ourselves be guided by the stars.

Like a captain at sea?

Mm. Tio's better.

Who?

If I had listened to him, I wouldn't be in this situation.

What situation is that?

Oh, well…

So I am drunk

sitting on some steps in the middle of the night with you,

my new boss.

[Davide chuckles]

I see your point.

You would prefer to be with Wolf?

You gotta have a bad opinion of me.

Why?

'Cause since I've known you I've done nothing but look ridiculous.

No.

You're not ridiculous.

Hey,

what sign are you, Davide Sardi?

[chuckles]

-[laughing] Come on! -Let's go back.

No, not my house.

I'll call my friend.

Here.

[electric bike whirring]

You know, this is the first time I've seen my city from a motorcycle.

[upbeat instrumental music]

[Alice] It's incredible!

And do you ever think of how many things the stars have seen?

[sighs] Usually, I only have the strangest ideas.

Get what I'm saying? Like a program…

based all around astrology.

I figure twelve contestants,

one from each sign of the zodiac.

And plus another who's lonely and single

and who's looking for the right person.

But then again, the person isn't really alone,

because Tio's there as a guide.

He reads the stars

so that the contestants pick the best match, yeah?

You can't imagine how many errors I could have avoided

if there had been a show like this.

[upbeat music continues]

[bike whirrs down]

[Davide] Alice?

[Alice] Hmm.

[Davide] We've arrived.

-Whoa. -[Alice] Oh.

Take it easy.

[grunts]

The only good thing I've done tonight is convincing you to call me Alice.

It was a pleasure for me as well.

[emotional music]

I want you to know that you witnessed the worst possible Alice.

Carlo is moving on.

Paola has her son.

[light chuckle]

And even my folks have their own busy schedules these days.

And, as for me,

I've had my chance.

And I blew it.

And the worst thing is that it was all my fault.

[retches, coughs]

[Sandro cooing]

[sighs]

-[continues cooing] -[Alice laughs]

Where's Auntie? There she is!

[laughs]

Ah, you woke up Auntie Alice!

Why?

Poor Auntie.

We go to Auntie Alice and tell her, "Sorry for waking you, Auntie."

-Sorry. -No worries.

[Paola] I've put the coffee on the stove.

I made enough coffee for ten, so help yourself.

Mm. Good idea.

This new thing,

that every time a guy goes and disappoints you,

you get drunk, can we end that?

Please?

Giovanni hates me, is that right?

[Paola] A little bit.

But I also said that I'm to blame.

I swear to you that Luca is so nice at work.

That asshole!

[Sandro laughs]

What are you laughing at, kid?

You know that Aunty kissed goodbye to her job yesterday?

Don't exaggerate.

Your boss, he seemed really kind. And not just kind, he's also…

extremely beautiful.

[Sandro] Mama! Mama!

[Alice sighs]

I was gonna tell him that, you know…

Ugh.

I was such a mess last night, Paola. Couldn't stop talking about Carlo.

And I was so close to…

Then what?

I vomited all over him. Oh, God.

[laughs]

How fuckin' embarrassing!

[upbeat Italian music playing]

Hey, there you are.

What happened to you?

Ah, good.

But there's no time to recover.

Bodrato is waiting for you in Sardi's office.

Cristina, excuse me.

Yes?

Do you know what he wants to discuss?

No, but Sardi is in there too.

No, uh, Cristina. Wait.

-I wanted to ask you a favor. -Mm-hmm.

Last night,

I futts things up badly with Sardi.

Could you maybe put in a good word with Bodrato?

But did you futts everything up

before or after my fiancé was at your house?

[chuckles] No, after.

Ah!

No, that is…

No, he just came over to work on a script, but I left the house straight away.

Yes, he told me.

I'm pissed,

but I can't

do anything to help.

[Bodrato] Come in! Close the door.

Thank you.

Miss Bassi, there we are.

I'm sorry I'm running late today.

Oh, it makes sense.

Davide tells me you had a crazy night. [chuckles]

Well, it certainly seems like it was, um,

an interesting night.

I'm very embarrassed. It was a horrible night.

I wasn't in control.

But I promise it's the last time it will happen.

What Mr. Bodrato is trying to tell you

is that he was thrilled about the pitch that you told me on the motorcycle.

Oh.

Yeah, the game show, you know? About love and astrology?

Ah!

Yeah. [chuckles]

Well, sure, for now, it's just an idea,

but Davide is sure that you, Miss Bassi,

you could really pull it off thinking totally outside the box.

And that you will, without a doubt, be able to make it all work.

Don't you agree?

Um…

Don't let him down.
