Game of Love

Let me take that.

No way, I already told you, I can carry my one bag.

Sorry I dragged you all the way out here.

Give me a couple of days. I'll take care of things,

and we go back home, okay?

I'm actually really happy I came out with you.

That's nice to be out of the city and

unplug and

be in a place where time has kind of stopped.

Time passes in its own way out here.

Nothing has changed since I was a kid.

Oh my goodness. Not even the goats?

They're so cute! Ah!

Yeah, they used to drive me nuts when I was a kid.

That is awesome. I bet you were such a cute kid.

Yeah, I was crazy. Like a tornado.

Well, I guess, not much has changed.

Yeah, so you better not mess with me.

Hey!

Good, my shoulder hurts anyway.

Hey! Hello! Welcome! Vivien!

- So nice to meet you! -So nice to meet you, finally!

-So good to see you. -Oh, good to see you!

Come in, come in! Lunch is ready!

- You must be starving! - Yeah.

["La traviata, Sempre libera" playing]

- What? Really? - Yeah.

I like so much here.

-Oh. Here you are. -This house is so beautiful.

Oh. Thank you. May I introduce you to Roy's other aunt?

-Concetta. -Vivien.

They don't speak English very well, be patient.

So. Uhm. Are you guys engaged?

Why don't you tell her?

So what did he say?

Oh, it's a secret.

No fair, secrets don't make friends.

Mmm. No, they don't.

Uh, Roy. Did you go see the farmhouse?

Not yet.

Oh, it's in bad shape. Every time I go there, I get mad.

It's best for everyone if we sell it.

How's school going?

It's over. I lost my scholarship.

What happened?

I got it because I was on the swim team.

And I'm not on the team anymore.

Couldn't you find a job and pay for it?

You could work with your dad at the garage.

College is too expensive.

That's why I wanna sell the farmhouse,

so I can pay the tuition fees.

Whatever you want, Roy. Grandma left it to you.

What happened here?

There was a fire.

It spread to the house and destroyed it.

How old is this place?

It's been in the family for generations.

I'm actually a bit sad about selling it.

So many memories.

You grew up here.

Yeah, and I chose to leave.

Uhm Hey! You made it.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

-What are you? -Oh

-Are you an object? -Yeah.

Oh! This is my favorite. Okay, uhm Can I use you?

Yes, you can.

Okay. Uhm Can Does everyone use you?

-A lot of people, not everyone. -Are you a household appliance?

-Not only. -Are you a kitchen appliance?

No.

You're not a hose, are you?

Are you colorful?

Come on

Hello?

Hey!

I'm so sorry, I don't speak Italian. Do you speak English?

Yeah, I Uhm I didn't mean to scare you.

-Get up here. -Thank you.

-Are you okay? -Yeah.

Fine.

Uh That is very heavy. How do you ride this thing?

-Haven't you seen my muscles? -

I'm Vivien. Hi.

Anna, nice to meet you.

That actually does look kind of bad.

-Yeah. -Yeah. Let's get you inside and

We'll clean that up so that doesn't get infected.

I'm fine, really, I don't I don't wanna bother you.

No! Do not be ridiculous, come on!

-Are you sure? -Yes, of course!

Your English is so good!

I I studied in America for a while.

What are we doing here?

Come with me!

I'm sorry Sir, there's nothing I can do,

that reservation was definitely canceled.

Oh God

Hey. Did something happen?

Yeah, one of the artists can't come. It's a major disaster.

He supposed to check in this morning,

he didn't show up and now the whole show is falling apart.

I'm so sorry.

-Love, this is -Roy, right?

Yes.

Roy, I couldn't wait for you to get here. I'm Thomas.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

Oh

I'm so sorry, I have to go and take care of this mess.

-I'm so sorry. -It's okay. Go fix it. Love you.

Love you too.

- -So where did he come from?

I met him in London at an exhibition.

And Vivien's been putting up with you for what Six months?

Give or take.

She ain't exactly low maintenance either.

So you're made for each other.

Well This was your mother's.

We used to dream about meeting our true loves, getting married

and Vivien

I have a feeling she can't wait to get a ring on her finger. So

-Thank you. -Oh Don't make me cry.

Hey listen, I used up my film.

Is there anywhere I can develop it?

Sure! Thomas has a dark room at the gallery, let's go!

Thank you, you saved me.

No, trust me, you saved me.

My uhm

My boyfriend and I came to visit his relatives and

It's just really not been easy to find someone to talk to.

Yeah, I'm sorry, it's

A lot of Italians don't speak great English.

Yeah, but you're pretty fluent. Where did you go to school?

Oh, this place in In New Jersey.

New Jersey, really? That's where we're from.

-So, do you study Medicine? -Ah No. Physics.

That's really cool.

It always fascinated me, but I never thought I could

understand it.

So

How do you manage it while you're here?

I don't. Uhm, but I'll go back really soon

And I'm so excited

because my school got me

this internship with a big company.

-So, I'm happy! -Yeah, sounds cool.

-What do you do? -Oh I I do a bunch of things.

Right now I'm here for the vendemmia .

The grape

-Harvest. -Oh, cool.

And it starts tomorrow,

you really really have to come.

I can't tomorrow. I leave tomorrow morning.

You know, I've got an idea

-You're coming with me. -What?

Oh, it's your last day here and you

can't spend it cooped up in here all alone.

So, do you like it?

Oh "I like it" is an understatement.

It's beautiful.

Good, I'm happy.

It's one of my favorite places.

-It's just so nice to just walk. -Yeah.

Thinking

So serene

It is, it's quiet.

No people.

-Yeah. -Just the two of us.

What are you doing?

I'm gonna go for a swim.

-What? -Yeah.

You're gonna go swimming right now Isn't it like too cold?

Oh, it's never too cold in Sicily, believe me.

The water is great!

Oh my Goodness, it's gonna be so cold!

Oh, I'm good about that!

Oh yes! Freedom!

This is, honestly, breathtaking.

I told you. I knew you were gonna love it.

Uh How did that happen?

-Uhm Shark attack. -What?

Oh, you had me. You had me!

I got burned when I was a kid.

And I guess you really shouldn't play with fire.

Well

I think scars are kind of really beautiful.
