A Five Star Life (Viaggio sola)

THE SAFE WORKS?

CLEAN SHEETS?

SCENTED ROBES?

Goodbye.

- Did you forget something? - No, thanks.

Hello, may I help you?

Mr. Manager...

we have the mystery guest.

Thank you.

He'll be right here.

I TRAVEL ALONE

Will you show me the spinach you meant?

Looks perfect, what's wrong?

We found snails.

Great, that's proof it's really organic.

Why else would our company be "Turf"?

Our customers know this, it's you I worry about.

Hi.

It's the Paris report, will you give it to him?

He's on a conference call, but wants to see you, can you wait?

No, I have so much to do, I've been all over for two weeks.

- You ripped them apart! - With what they have you pay!

I could have done much worse.

Don't lose the enclosed photos, they're worth seeing.

I'm Andrea, the one in charge.

They say there was a problem with the last delivery, what happened?

This cheese is inedible.

Yes, you're right.

Tell Carrozzoni we have a problem with the cheese,

then let's e-mail an apology to our customers

and with the next delivery everyone gets complimentary cheese.

Thank you for bothering to come all the way here.

I had to come this way and thought I'd show it to you...

- The rest of the box was delicious. - Good.

May I send you a complimentary box? We have some wonderful pumpkins.

Thank you.

What box do you usually order? The family-size or single?

Simona is pregnant and has resigned

and Marzia is getting married.

Marzia s getting married?

- What about the girlfriend? - They re getting married in Spain!

She wants to quit working to have time for the family.

They re thinking of having a baby, maybe of adopting one

For Thursday.

So they both gave notice on the same day?

Right,

you're the only woman inspector left,

you'll have to take over their hotels.

- More traveling, but more salary, is that okay? - Sure.

With women, it s always like this

This is a job for singles with no husbands, kids, girlfriends.

Irene, are you there? Are you following?

I get it, I'm your ideal inspector because I don't have a life.

Goodbye.

- Can I take a bath? - Are you crazy?

It's almost dinner time, besides you know I'm against it.

Against what?

The tub, it takes too much water, in 20 years there won't be any left.

More reason to have one now!

- You're smoking? - No!

I'll be dead in 20 years anyway.

- I wasn't smoking. - Sure...

Please, taste it!

- Delicious, did you make it? - No.

I got it from the Lebanese place, the expensive one.

The expensive one!

It feels so good here!

I should stay with you when I get back from traveling.

- Is it too much? Candles, roses... - It's a bit over the top.

- Better without? - No, leave them.

- You're sure? - Yes.

I'm off.

Okay...

- Where are you going now? - The movies.

- Who with? - Me, myself and I.

Nice little group!

I can see going in the afternoon... but isn't it a bit sad at night?

Nighttime shows are for losers?

As the day progresses, a person's desperation increases?

- Meaning? - I'll explain later.

- Please come in. - Thank you.

- I brought some wine. - Thank you.

Did you do the cooking?

- Can I take your jacket? - Yes, thank you.

The work of a mystery guest starts in the hall of a hotel

Did the concierge look the guest in the eyes when speaking?

Did he smile?

Did he use your name when he welcomed you?

Was the wait at the desk less than two minutes?

Was the desk clerk s uniform clean and ironed?

Were his shoes adequate standard?

Does the hotel use a distinctive scent in the halls and rooms?

Were you given a full explanation on how

lights, the air conditioning, work?

Was the temperature suitable?

Did the steward wish the guest a pleasant stay?

FULL-LENGTH MIRROR?

DVD PLAYER?

- Do you need anything, Mrs. Lorenzi? - No, thank you.

You're not going skiing on this beautiful day?

Oh God, no, I hate snow.

Are you here for work?

No...

A funeral.

I'm sorry, please forgive me.

Can I do anything for you?

Maybe the music.

Of course, I'll see to it right away.

Come on!

Good evening, we are...

I'm sorry, the concert's started, you can't go in now.

- If we slide into a side seat? - The doors are closed.

Just imagine what they'll say!

That's good, we know the concert by heart, he practices everyday.

But she said to get here on time!

- Did you know it's dodecaphonic? - It is?

Okay... Ice cream?

A nice ice cream cone.

Here they are!

Daddy, I'm so sorry.

- We got held up. - Don't tell me, traffic?

Let's go have a pizza, I'm starving.

Can I have a calzone before the pizza?

- I want the one with lots of cheese. - Have what you like.

Where did I leave it?

- Shall we meet there? - Wait a minute.

- She did it again. - She always parks on the crosswalk.

Dammit...

Where is the fucking car? It was here!

I'm in front of the Auditorium, you towed my car.

Wait, I'll ask my husband. The plates?

I don't remember.

- Who's she talking to? - To the guys that tow cars.

She's got the number stored on her phone.

You took just mine, then that's it.

I'm starving.

- Me too. - Be patient.

I'll call a taxi again.

Another one? No, we all stay here together.

No more taxis, they mustn't get into the habit.

- They've taken two this evening. - You count the cabs?

Of course, they're regular kids, not Paris Hilton!

Paris Hilton? Restaurants close at 11.

They'll wait, they need to learn solidarity,

meaning we'll have a nice falafel all together,

they're open till late. What is it?

- No... - Felafel...

It seems they finally found it.

- Let's go or I'll faint away. - Let's go!

You have the keys.

Have you got them?

- Have you got them or not? - Yes!

Good morning, Mrs Lorenzi, it s 8 a m

and the outside temperature is 18 degrees celsius

Did you bring some money?

Do we have to pay to get in?

I don't think so.

Maybe you'd better go ask downstairs.

The spa is free of charge for all hotel guests.

- Thank you. - Not at all, don't mention it.

Good morning, I'll bring the menu right away.

- Are you alone? - Yes.

Hello, I'd like to order a club sandwich,

a Thai soup

and a berry mixture with mango.

No mango. Then an orange Bavarian cream

and a Franciacorta to drink.

What happened?

You don't mind if I stay?

No, I'm glad, but what's wrong? You put me in a state.

I didn't want to tell you on the phone, sorry.

- Oh God, then it's serious. - Can I smoke here?

We'll get arrested here, we can go to the terrace.

Great, you started again?

- Is she the one I passed in the elevator? - Yes.

What did you tell her?

I don't want to have a child with a stranger.

She's forcing it on me.

Fuck it, it's unfair!

Now it feels that way, but at that moment... sorry to say so.

She said she'll have the baby anyway,

because given her age, it's crazy not to,

it's her decision, and,

if I don't want to be the father, she won't expect anything from me.

She said that?

Hang on.

Hello, Mrs. Lorenzi.

Please sign.

Thank you, goodbye.

- What did he do wrong? - He didn't pour me a glass.

You know what worries me the most?

What are you doing?

The wine is two degrees too warm.

The soup should be at least 40 and it's not.

What a tragedy!

I know, but these are the kinds of problems I'm paid to deal with.

Done, tell me.

What troubles me the most is that...

Have a little soup.

- Not now, will you just listen to me. - Because it was hot, sorry.
