Generation 56K (2021) s01e08 Episode Script

A NETFLIX SERIES
[young Lu] Did he give them to her?
Shut up, Luca! Not yet.
- Hi, Ines.
- Hey.
- How are you?
- Fine, thanks.
I bet he won't be able
to complete a sentence.
Yes, he will. She'll kiss him.
She has to kiss him after such a gift.
I would kiss him.
If Bruno hadn't given him
those 883 tickets,
he wouldn't stand a chance.
Tickets have got nothing to do with it.
They just give him a little confidence,
like Michael Jordan's secret stuff
in Space Jam.
Wait! He's giving them to her!
- Let me see!
- No.
Thanks!
Wait, she's kissing him!
She kissed him on the cheek.
[young Lu] Andrea's there.
This is looking bad.
[young Ines] Andrea, look.
[gentle music playing]
[gentle music swelling]
No! She left with Andrea!
[exhales]
[audience applauding]
[announcer]
We'll take a 15-minute intermission.
Matilda?
Yes, I'll go see now.
- So?
- Enea!
- How was it?
- It was awesome!
Mati?
Mati had some horrible stomach cramping.
She had to go to the bathroom.
- God. I'll go see
- No, you can't go to the ladies bathroom.
I'll see.
- What kind of cramping?
- Stomach pains, Andrea!
- [Andrea] Must be premenstrual.
- Oh, PMS is terrible!
But it's more a nerve pain,
not a stabbing pain.
No. Wait, it's PMS.
- A throbbing back pain in the spine
- Yes. Okay, I'll go see.
- Ines!
- Yes?
- Matilda's taking it bad, isn't she?
- I don't understand. What do you mean?
She was really close to that guy, Ciro.
The funeral destroyed her.
Yes, in fact, it is.
It's sort of a difficult time, Enea.
And her friend, Daniel
- Daniel?
- Yeah, he's Princess Betulla.
- No! [gasps]
- [Andrea laughs]
He gave such a nice eulogy, you know?
I was touched too
and I didn't even know Ciro.
[laughs uncomfortably]
Okay. Just let me go see.
Uh, Ines!
Um
I'm preparing a surprise to cheer her up.
- Really?
- Yes.
So, we should be finished here by 6:30.
- Then we'll all go home and
- [plane engine roaring]
[Matilda] At least you remembered this.
It all came back to me at once,
like a breakthrough.
Thanks to your postcard,
I even got an idea for an app.
I wanna call it Ciro's Bottle,
in his honor.
But I'm sure the marketing department
will turn it down.
Why? How does it work?
Basically, it's like a time capsule.
You can write or record messages,
and then the app keeps them
for the time you set.
When the time runs out,
it sends that message to the recipient.
[laughs]
Sounds like a load of crap.
No, why?
I have to work on it a bit
with Sandro and Luca,
but I think it's a good idea.
[female voice] This is
a Vodafone recorded message.
The number you dialed
Matilda, I hope you haven't gone, but
but if you're gone,
I swear I'm not judging you. That's okay.
You're following your instinct.
No regrets. Whatever.
I have to know right now if you're gone,
because Enea wants to serenade you.
He asked me where you were.
I didn't tell him you're gone
because I don't know if you're gone.
So, if you are gone and you don't
come back before the end, it's a mess.
So answer me now. Are you gone?
- [breathes deeply]
- [phone beeps]
It's just that your message
from the past was
I don't know.
It's like it came at the right time.
[phone chimes]
It's Ines, she sent me a voice message.
Eesh! Thank God I didn't marry her!
[laughs] You say that now.
- Do you know who she had a child with?
- Who?
- Andrea Russo.
- No! You must be kidding! [laughs]
[phone chimes]
Ines, we get it!
[sighs]
[gentle music playing]
I don't know what to do.
I have to go back,
the show is almost over.
[young Sandro]
And you didn't say anything?
What was I supposed to say? "Go have fun"?
[young Sandro] You should've hit him!
The tickets were for the two of you,
not for that idiot.
But Andrea is bigger.
And it seemed really rude to say,
"No, you have to come with me."
But now you've let a brute on a scooter
steal your woman!
Ines doesn't deserve you.
You should just forget about her.
I don't know. I don't know.
Luca's right.
In high school, it'll all be different.
We'll have to go to Naples.
Nobody knows us there,
especially the girls.
Oh, shit!
[both] Antonio!
[suspenseful music playing]
- Do you think he found out?
- You never listen to me!
We have to jump!
We have to jump!
[thuds]
- What's that?
- I don't know.
- Did you stop it?
- No.
- Why did you stop it?
- What? I didn't
Why would I stop the damn elevator?
- What do we do now?
- I don't know.
The doorman is off today.
[button clicking]
- Push the alarm button.
- I am pushing it.
- Push it.
- [banging on door]
Is anyone there? Can you hear me?
Is anybody out there?
[banging on door]
Can you get us out?
Is anybody out there?
[laughs]
[sighs]
Do you have reception?
- Yeah.
- Call the fire department.
- The fire department? Are you serious?
- They don't just put out fires, Daniel.
- Call the fire department.
- Okay. It seems a bit extreme.
- Call them!
- Okay, I'll call them.
[dialing]
[line beeps]
[female voice]
You've reached the fire department,
All lines are busy at the moment.
Please do not hang up.
Very funny.
Help! Can you help us?
Can someone get us out?
[laughs]
- Why are you laughing?
- No, nothing.
- Why were you laughing?
- No, I was just thinking about something.
What?
No, it's just just that
You know Ciro Abate's theory?
To remember it, he used to say that
that we don't fall in love anymore
because of the elevators, right?
But, I mean, I was thinking that
he didn't take into consideration
that if two people
take the elevator together
and the elevator gets stuck
[romantic music playing]
Ah.
Maybe that's what we'll tell our children.
Come on, Daniel.
Because we can't tell them
about our first date, huh?
I'd really look like an idiot.
I didn't even recognize you.
And I threw up.
- Twice.
- Exactly. [laughs]
Not to mention the part where you did get
invited to my wedding to another man.
[laughing] No, please!
Let's absolutely avoid that part.
It's just that, I mean,
weddings are too complex to organize,
especially the way we get married here
in the South, with all those guests.
I mean, it's so stressful.
Why would you wanna do that?
And then, I just think
that men and women are the least
suitable people for getting married.
You see, they're just too different,
too far apart, you know?
Why don't you take a nice trip?
Go on a trip!
Like you wanted to do when you were a kid.
Do you remember that?
Yes.
[sentimental song playing]
[phone vibrating]
Oh.
It's Bruno.
Hello. Bruno, can you hear me?
What mozzarella? Listen, Dad, I got
I got stuck in the elevator
in my apartment building
Yes, you'll have to come here. Now!
[upbeat music playing]
What happened?
[young Daniel] Help!
Help!
- Don't touch me, asshole!
- Leave us alone!
- Shut up!
- You've been selling in church?
You don't even show respect
for the Virgin Mary!
We didn't want
to ruin your business at school.
Luca, shut up!
- What is this thing anyway?
- What is it? It's a floppy disk.
Where'd you get these photos?
- [Daniel] They're not ours.
- We'll never tell you.
We don't know.
- Bring me the other one.
- No, please.
We got them off the Internet.
It's this modern thing,
been in Naples for years.
Daniel's dad has it at home.
Please don't kill us.
[both] Shut up, Lu!
Oh really?
How much money did you make
with these Internet photos?
- 50,000 lire.
- That's not true!
You have to give it to me
or we'll drown you.
And you'll end up in jail!
[laughing] I won't go to jail, buddy.
I've got connections.
I told you.
- Please, Daniel, give him the money.
- No, don't!
We need it for the PlayStation.
- I don't have it anymore.
- What?
- What?
- I spent it to get 883 tickets for Ines.
You said your dad gave them to you!
[grunts]
You like my sister?
- No!
- Yes.
He likes your sister,
but she's with Andrea now.
And she's going
to the 883 concert with him.
- Shall we drown them?
- No!
We'll work for you.
Floppy disks with all the porn we find
on the Internet,
we'll give them to you. You'll sell them.
Have you gone crazy?
The cassettes plus the disks.
You'll make a lot of money.
And as soon as you make 50,000 lire,
we'll split it in half.
[laughs] Oh really? In half?
I'd say 80 for me, and 20 for you.
- We accept.
- 60/40.
We accept!
- 30/70.
- We accept!
- I want ten disks a week.
- [young Lu] We accept!
Let's go.
Sandro, Sandro, please. Let me explain.
- Sandro.
- You don't have to explain anything to me.
Sandro, come on.
Can't you see he's in love?
[young Sandro] I don't care, Luca.
He's a liar and a traitor.
And you spilled the beans too.
Now you work for Antonio.
We're not friends anymore!
[clicks]
[button clicking]
- Damn door! Call the fire department.
- Bruno's coming.
- Calm down.
- Call the damn department!
Bruno's coming.
Oh, Mother of God! Holy Mother of God!
Mother of God!
[breathes deeply]
Hey.
What happened?
[dog barking]
- Ines told me about the tickets.
- Mm.
- She's not a bad It's
- [young Daniel] It doesn't matter.
[Matilda] A selfish bitch.
That's what I am.
It's my fault.
Enea doesn't deserve this.
It was the most important day of the year,
and instead of being with him,
I run off with you
like some stupid fucking little girl
who doesn't even know what she wants!
Yes, because I was dying
to get stuck in an elevator too.
That's not what I meant, Daniel.
You clearly don't want
to be with him anymore.
I'm sorry.
But that's how it is.
Because bringing up Enea right now
feels like a cop-out.
You're wrong!
You're afraid.
You're afraid of me, of what you feel.
You don't understand
a fucking thing anymore.
You put the blame on yourself
while we're acting like 15-years-olds.
- It is my fault!
- What is it? What is it?
That you're afraid to screw up
by marrying someone you don't love?
Because there can be only one reason
you're here with me.
Not everything that breaks can be fixed.
You can go back to Enea
and tell him nothing happened.
You can, but you know that's not true.
Try, for once, to do what's right for you.
Try, for once, to do what's right for you!
Hey, damn it, are you done?
Do you think you know me so well
that you can tell me what to do?
- I'm just trying
- We aren't all like you!
We don't all just dive head first
into things until we throw up.
We don't destroy other people's marriages!
I did it only because
I'm in love with you!
That's the same reason why I'm here!
Wait
[romantic music playing]
[banging on door]
- [Rosaria] Daniel, are you in there?
- [Bruno] Daniel!
Uh, we're here.
[Rosaria] Bruno, he's here.
[sighs]
Oh, Matilda Pastore!
Oh my God,
look how beautiful she's become!
I told you.
He's been talking our ears off
since he met you again.
So sorry you had to come.
I told him
to call the fire department, but
The fire department! Please!
Why don't you come over
for lunch on Sunday?
We're having a housewarming.
Raffaella will be there too.
Mama, we have to go.
Did I say something wrong?
If you want to come,
you know you're welcome.
Thank you.
The same address, you already know it.
Let's go.
- Come on, help her.
- Yes.
- [phone vibrating]
- Here she is!
Where the fuck are you?
[Matilda] Ines! Ines!
It's a total mess.
You have to help me.
- [Ines] Want me to talk to him?
- No, I have to do it alone.
We're almost at your house.
The musicians are there too.
- What are you doing?
- What?
- You'll ruin the surprise!
- Oh, fuck off, Andrea.
[Matilda] Ines, listen
- No How long before you get here?
- The time it'll take me to get there.
Ugh!
Faster, Daniel. We're late! Go, go, go!
Ah! It wasn't PMS.
Andrea, are you serious?
Go, go!
- What do you think?
- They're beautiful.
The tambourine.
Be sure to accompany me
or I'll miss the beat.
Don't you worry, sir.
Are you certain
you really want to sing this song?
- Yes. Why?
- Maybe something in English.
"I Can't Help Falling in Love"
- This is why I learned Neapolitan.
- Such a good Neapolitan!
- Is she already upstairs?
- Yes, she wasn't feeling well.
- Uh, here.
- Nothing serious, though.
As soon as Andrea and Ines get here,
we can start.
It's such a beautiful, romantic gesture.
I think I'm gonna cry.
Ines is here!
[Marina] They're here too!
- Hurry up! Come on!
- Hi.
Hey, guys. So nice to see you.
So, we're all here. She's upstairs.
We can start.
Go!
[band playing]
[singing in Neapolitan]
[people clapping]
I had a good time.
Thank you.
[Daniel] Wait.
[Matilda] Daniel,
I have to sort some things out first.
- Wait.
- I just need some time, okay?
Good luck with your app.
Hope so.
[Enea continues singing]
[delicate romantic music playing]
[kisses]
[continues singing]
[Enea mumbles]
- [Matilda sobbing]
- What?
[Matilda] I'm
[both sobbing]
[sentimental music playing]
So did you finally have your first kiss?
No.
And I think I'll have to wait quite a bit.
[gentle music playing]
What is it?
How was it?
You taste like bubblegum.
[chuckles]
[Daniel] Do you know what's always
fascinated me about the Internet?
That feeling that you can have it all.
Right away.
Let's say you've met a girl.
Online perhaps.
And then you meet her in real life.
She's beautiful.
You really like her.
And when you go home, you're
so taken with her,
that you write her, right away.
But then something goes wrong.
She doesn't answer you.
You become paranoid.
Ask yourself a thousand questions.
"What happened?"
"Did I do something wrong?"
"Why isn't she writing me?"
And suddenly
we think about something else.
Simply because the world
makes it available to you.
You have so many inputs, it's amazing!
The speed at which we're always
allowed to focus on something new.
The speed at which we evade
everyday problems in life.
Speed. Speed. Speed.
But this has made us forget
that certain things in life
they take time.
My Message in a Bottle,
might seem, at first glance,
simply like another messaging app.
Like many others.
Wrong.
My Message in a Bottle
is a time capsule,
where each user can keep messages,
safeguard them, and send them,
only to decide later when the recipient
will be able to open them.
Whether it's at a specific time
on that same day,
weeks later, or even years later.
What matters is that message
cannot be changed or deleted.
Even if you uninstall the app.
And it will reach its destination.
It's important.
- There are choices to be made.
- [sobbing]
[Daniel] And you need to take your time.
This idea isn't just to fit into a trend.
- It has the ambition to create a trend.
- [Aurelio] Okay.
Okay? [laughs]
Okay?
Okay!
Okay.
It's
a good idea.
Romantic.
And we needed something romantic,
and not practical.
Yes. It's a good idea.
[doorbell chimes]
[Raffaella] I'll get it!
- [Rosaria] Look who's here!
- [Bruno] Hello.
[sentimental music continues]
[Daniel and Matilda laughing]
[Matilda] No, he knew
that something was off.
Enea's like that.
When I told him it was over,
he couldn't get mad at me, not even then.
"You have to follow your heart,"
he told me.
[in British accent] "You have to follow
your heart," that's how he said it.
[laughs] No, no!
I swear. I swear.
Daniel, I only came to say goodbye.
I have a flight to Paris tonight at 8:00.
[bittersweet music playing]
You're leaving?
My master's program starts next Monday.
[sighs] Okay.
So, you decided to leave.
If I leave now, I'll have a whole week
to find an apartment,
to see the sights.
I said you should go on a trip,
and you took me quite literally.
[chuckles]
Maybe this thing won't lead anywhere
but it's mine.
[bittersweet music continues]
Oh well, in the end, what's Naples-Paris?
A two-hour flight?
Maybe I'll come visit you.
[bittersweet music rising]
[woman on TV] From Naples to Paris,
from Lisbon to Dublin,
and in another 11 European countries,
you will be able to go shopping
using one currency through Europe.
Rosaria, you haven't been making
overseas calls, have you?
You think if I knew someone overseas,
I'd still be here?
[shouting] Daniel!
[exhilarating music playing]
[music continues]
[music ends]
