Lost in Florence

First one to see it gets to keep it.

Right, oh yeah!

I'm gonna get ya.

- Not bad. - I saw it first.

It's mine.

You can look, but don't touch.

Beautiful.

Come on.

No time to waste!

To my favorite cousin, Eric...

Thank you for being the last one of my cousins

to actually come and visit us...

And, sorry, to my...

Future cousin?

Whoa!

Just because you were a child bride

doesn't mean we all need to be.

Who's already giving me shit? And we're not even related yet.

Thank you, you're gonna fit in.

Cheers, you guys, glad you're here.

That was way too easy.

Who says treasure has to be hard?

Is it my birthday?

You know what day it is.

It's June 5.

The day we met.

So...

I have five boxes here.

Inside each one of these boxes

are two things that go great together.

That's the theme for today, okay?

Now this big box over here, you see this one?

- Yeah. - It only has one thing in it.

So you have to open that one last.

Where do I start?

I don't know, pretty much wherever you want.

I think I'm gonna go with this one.

Hmmm...

Hmmm!

I see...

Allow me...

Hey...

Ooh!

Oh, my god...

Who is... who is that handsome man?

Ohhh.

Alright...

- This is the big one. - Yeah that's...

That's the big one, alright.

Oh, Eric...

Come here.

Come on.

Eric!

Wake up! Come on!

Hey!

You're gonna miss your plane, come on.

- He's still in bed? - Yeah.

Where's Colleen?

She left.

Can I stay with you guys for a little while longer?

Sure! No problem.

Let me tell my mom so she knows.

She's not gonna mind. She thinks you're cute.

I'm gonna go back to sleep.

Okay.

I'm gonna go make some food.

Okay!

48 hours in bed is enough!

I'm not bringing you any more food.

Do you wanna talk?

No.

Okay...

Well, you cannot stay in bed forever.

In fact you can't stay in bed for another minute.

Come on, let's go.

It's "bring your cousin to work" day.

I didn't really like her anyway.

Bullshit.

You loved her.

Everybody loved her.

How could you not?

You spend so long...

Wondering if you're ever gonna ever fall in love,

hoping...

That it's gonna happen to you.

Then it does and...

You're happy. You think...

This is gonna last forever.

Maybe it'll still work out.

Come on...

We Italians believe in true love.

- We, Italians? - Uh-huh.

We're from Connecticut.

Shut up.

You're gonna be saying that soon enough.

Ciao.

Ciao.

That's Manuela.

I'm Sal.

My idiot cousin, dino.

Hi.

So I hear you play football.

Yeah.

Football?

American football, you dumbass.

Football?

- You familiar with the sport? - A wee bit.

You heard of the saints?

No, okay.

They're a team from New Orleans.

And they drafted me.

And I made it to the last round of cuts.

So they said,

"why don't you play in Canada, get some more experience."

So I did, and then last year,

ah...

I blew my knee out during a pre-season game.

So you can't play anymore?

No, I can play.

I've been rehabbing the knee.

Getting ready, they said to come out again this year, so...

Come on, Eric, all bad things lead to good things.

If you say so, Gianni.

Hey.

You're here now, this is good.

Drink.

Okay.

- Drink. - There you go!

That's the first time I've been able to drink expresso.

Bravo, ercole! Now you're almost as Italian as your cousin.

- Don't call him Ercole. - Why not?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, what does Ercole mean?

It's...

I... no, you...

Come on, what does it mean? Tell me what it means.

It's an Italian thing, don't worry about that.

Okay.

- Cin Cin! - Cheers!

Bloody hell, this Amaro's disgusting!

Did he say "bloody hell"?

Would you like some more "bloody hell"?

Ahh, yes!

Scusa.

- Here you go, guys. - Hey!

What is this?

This place has a specialty, this is not German-Belgian crap.

This is Pebber.

Pebber? What's that?

Pbr...

Pabst blue ribbon. Fantastic, I love it!

Wow!

By the way, you don't have a phone, you need a mobile.

- A mobile? - Yeah, a phone, like this.

A cell phone? No, I'm okay.

Listen, I can get you a very good deal with minutes...

Hold on.

- I gotta get this, sorry. - Okay, I don't need a phone.

Well, anyway, I've never seen soccer played like that before.

You've got an interesting way of playing football.

- Not exactly big on finesse. - Well...

I'm sorry guys I have to leave, I have to see somebody.

You want to to come with me?

I think you should come with me.

Pronto?

Pronto...

- Vieni. - Yeah.

What is it?

They are practicing Calcio storico.

Is it a sport?

Listen, Calcio storico is a very ancient game

that we play here in Florence.

The army of the Caesars used it to prepare for battle.

So how do you play?

All you must know is to take the ball

to the other side of the field,

and throw it into the net. That gets you one point.

But if you throw it over the net,

then the other team gets half a point.

How do you stop the other team?

However you want.

There are no more rules.

In the renaissance,

Florentines began competing against each other.

Many great men played it, popes, medicis, Caravaggio.

Leonardo DaVinci designed the ball.

Now, every summer, there's a small tournament

that we play among the four quarters of the city.

We live in Santo Spirito, so this is our team.

Tonight some new players are coming for the team to see.

I promised Paolo to help choose them.

Paolo is that guy over there, he's the captain.

And those are the new players?

And those are the new players.

Hey, Gianni...

Si?

Let me play a game.

Is maybe not so smart to do that.

Is easy for you to get hurt and

Anna gets mad at me.

And your knee is not very well, so no.
