Delirium: Photo of Gioia (Le foto di Gioia)

DELIRIUM

Kim, tip your head back a little more.

Caress her more with your hands, Kelly.

That's good, Christine, keep going.

- All right, Roberto? - All right, it's perfect.

Move your hand up a little more while you caress her.

Kim, I want you to look like prey in their hands.

You need to look like you're experiencing pleasure you've never felt before.

Come on, more! Smile!

- Look at me, Kim. - No, not like that!

Put your hand down a bit.

Almost there, girls! Come on, Roberto!

Come on, move it!

Well done, Kim!

Start touching her.

Touch her! You want to possess her!

Kim, I want you to enjoy it!

- Yeah, like this. - Offer yourself to them.

You can't restrain yourself, you can only feel their hands on your body.

Good show, keep going.

Cradle her. Kelly, take her in your arms.

Snap away, Roberto!

Make it look more sensual!

Keep going, don't hide that hand!

Gently slide your hand down her thigh. Gently!

Look at them and smile, Kim. You don't know who to choose from.

Now close your eyes.

You're dreaming and you like it.

You like it and you wish it'd last forever.

Yeah, like this.

You think it was a good idea?

Remaking that old photo shoot? Yeah, I believe so.

But I don't agree on your substitute.

Tony knows his salt, and Kim is gorgeous.

But you were something else.

All right, let's take a break!

It's only been three years but it feels like a lifetime.

Where's the makeup girl?

Okay, okay. Christine, Kim, get out of the pool.

Gee, the weather's chilly!

- Evelyn! - It was warmer in the pool!

- Where's the makeup girl? - I don't know, maybe she's inside.

- What do you mean she's inside? - Where's my fur coat?

At last! I'm not paying you to do nothing!

The girls' makeup is running!

Where the hell have you been?!

How come your brother is always so nervous?

You vanished into thin air!

Let's get you dry or you'll get sick.

- Hello? - Gioia?

- Yes, it's me. - Hello, darling.

What if I said I'm masturbating looking at you?

Don't hang up, it's not true.

You're gorgeous today.

Even more than usual.

Are you wearing your panties?

Come on, guys!

Don't pull your skirt down, don't you want me to see you in the nude?

Your lips are incredible.

You like kissing your men all over their bodies?

Now listen, Mark.

I got you a nice show right under your window.

Why don't you look at them and leave me alone?

You're not like the others.

You're like a national monument.

Just looking at you is enough to get a real, healthy erection.

You sound like a broken record, and it's not funny.

Retouch the lips a little, yes.

- How much time do you still need? - A couple hours.

Maybe even less.

We're losing light.

Come on.

I'll go inside and help Evelyn.

I hope you're all staying for dinner.

What a shame, me and Christine have a plane at ten.

We have a fashion show in Paris tomorrow morning.

Thanks anyway.

Have a nice trip, see you.

We're ready.

Tony?

Tony!

You know the one about the guy who just made love with a girl?

"Sorry, dear, I'd have taken more time if I'd known you were a virgin."

"Why, honey, I'd have taken my panties off if I'd known you had more time!"

You're so silly, Roberto.

Evelyn, dinner was perfect as usual.

What would Gioia do without you?

You manage the magazine and you even cook.

- Don't act mean. - It's a natural gift for him.

Speaking of gifts, I have a surprise for you.

- To my dear Gioia. - Thanks, you're so sweet.

And now, after this coup de theatre, I shall be going.

- Good night, thanks. - Good night.

I'll join you.

The night is still young.

- Good night, Roberto. - Bye, Evelyn.

Don't stay up until dawn, Tony.

We have to choose the pictures tomorrow.

Okay, boss.

- You need a ride, Kim? - No, thanks, I'm staying a little longer.

- I came with my car. - As you prefer.

Aren't you scared to go home on your own?

You never know who you might run into.

If he's cute I won't complain.

You know, honey, we both have the same tastes when it comes to certain things.

I'm going to bed.

I want to be at the office early in the morning.

Now that you're back with us, the next issue will turn out great.

Good night, Evelyn.

- See you soon, Kim. - Bye.

You had not been involved with the magazine for months.

Almost a year, since the day of the accident.

- Would you like to talk about it? - Why not?

When you married Carlo, lots of people thought you were only doing it for power.

They were wrong. I really loved Carlo.

He was unique.

He never asked me to pose in the nude.

He gave me the chance to start a magazine of my own.

Then I decided to quit, because I wanted to spend my time with him and have kids.

I thought I wouldn't have time for work.

And I had Evelyn, who's always so efficient.

Perhaps life had given me too much,

and all it took to take my man away was a gust of wind.

I can still see it.

He was like a kid who refused to grow up.

He soared with his speedboat at 200 kilometers per hour.

He left me the house, financial security and the magazine.

But, most of all, some incredible memories.

I have to start living for myself again, as well as for him.

- Did I bore you? - No, quite the opposite.

I'd stay here all night if I didn't have to get up early.

Oh, you don't have to come with me, I know the way.

I'll call you tomorrow.

- Bye. - Bye.

Hello?

Gioia, somebody murdered your model and threw her body in the pool.

That's a stupid prank, Mark.

I'd rather hear your vulgarities than such a stupid excuse to phone me.

She was killed with the gardener's pitchfork!

It wasn't a pretty sight, believe me.

You need more details? Are you still there? Can you hear me?

If you wanted to frighten me, you have.

Now let me go to bed, please.

Too bad you turned the lights off before I could see the murderer's face.

Maybe it's a woman with long, blonde hair.

- You listening?! - Yes.

Do you want me to call the police?

- Are you telling the truth, Mark? - Of course!

Shall I call the police or will you do it?

No, let me have a look first.

You'd better not, believe me.

You wouldn't like what you'd see.

Not even a ferocious beast would kill with such cruelty!

Evelyn?

Evelyn?

Evelyn?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you.

I went into the kitchen to get something to drink.

Mark just called me.

He said he saw Kim getting murdered in the pool.

And you believe him?

That boy is sick, he has a morbid imagination.

Follow my advice, Gioia, go back to bed and have a good sleep.

I'm sure everything's fine, there's no point in going to check.

- Good night, Gioia. - Good night.

Asshole!

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Good morning, hello. - Good morning.

The lighting's good, but I'm not sure.

I don't like the face she makes, this other one's better.

No, I'd rather use this one.

Yeah, the pose is softer.

- What do you think, Gioia? - I agree, Roberto.

Tony, you're a wizard, and Kim is simply terrific.

I have something to tell you, Evelyn.

Last night Kim left her lighter at my house.

Could you give it to her?

She'll be happy to know she didn't lose it.

Why don't you use the other office to choose the pictures?

Because it's yours.

Well, I feel like a fish out of water in there.

Then ready your scuba tanks and spear gun.

- There's a shark waiting for you. - Flora?

I had to let her stay, she knew you'd come in sooner or later.

- She waited for you. - For a whole year?

Not a year, I'd say almost an hour!

You think she'd mind if I left?

She'd just come back another time.

To think I was in such a good mood.

Rip her to shreds, Gioia.

Don't give her the opportunity to do the same.

Looking good, Gioia.

You look pretty good yourself.

Are you here for the usual reason?

Sorrow made you even more beautiful.

But not willing to deal with you.

Why don't you want to sell me your magazine?

You'll have better things to do.

- For example? - Live your life.
