Caro? He's here.
- Professor perlman. - Welcome, welcome.
- Thank you for having me. - Oh, my goodness.
You're bigger than your picture.
Well, I couldn't get all of me in the photo. That's the problem.
- Mrs. Perlman. - Annella.
Oliver. Nice to meet you. Thank you for having me.
Welcome. Uh...
Elio?
You must be exhausted.
What gave me away?
Hey.
Absolutely. Every single one of these will.
Yeah, yeah.
Elio, Oliver. Oliver, elio.
- How you doing? - Nice to meet you. Elio.
You must be exhausted.
- A little bit. - Come, come, come.
May I bring your things up to your room?
- Uh, sure. Yeah. - My room?
Follow him.
- You're very welcome here. - Si.
Our home is your home.
- Hello. - Hi.
My room is now your room.
I'll be next door.
We have to share the bathroom.
It's my only way out.
We're being called for dinner.
Oh... sorry. I, uh...
We're being called for dinner.
Oh, yeah, um, I'm probably gonna pass.
Will you make an excuse for me to your mom, though?
Thanks, man.
So, this is your old room, huh?
Later.
- Wow, look at this. - Ah...
Good morning, professor.
- Good morning. - Back from the dead.
- Was I out that long? - It seemed like it, huh?
- How are you? - I... uh, well, rested now.
- Thank you. - I'm glad.
Would you like some Espresso?
I would love some. Thank you very much.
This looks amazing. I didn't take your seat, did I?
No, no, no. It's okay. Please.
Did you... Did you recover from your trip?
Uh, I did. Yeah, big time.
- Thank you. - Good.
I could show you around.
That'd be great. Thank you.
Um, is there a... is there a bank in town?
I'd love to start an account while I'm here.
Sorry.
- Ah, it happens to the best of us. - Yeah, well...
None of our residents has ever had a local bank account.
-Really?
Should I take him to montodine?
I think they're closed for summer vacation.
You try, uh, crema.
Crema?
Is this your orchard?
These are annella's trees.
Oh, wow.
Pomegranate. "Melograno."
Mmm.
Have another egg.
Oh, stupid. No, no, no. I know myself too well.
If I have a second, I'll have a third, a fourth,
then you're gonna have to roll me out.
- Delicious. - Darling?
Thank you.
Shall I give him anchise's bike?
So, what does one do around here?
Wait for the summer to end.
Yeah? What do you do in the winter? Wait for summer to come?
Well, we only come here for Christmas and some other vacations.
- I thought you... - And easter.
- Thought you were Jewish. - We are,
but also American, Italian, French, somewhat atypical combination.
Besides my family, you're probably
the only other Jew to set foot in this town.
I'm from a small town in new england.
I know what it's like to be the odd Jew out.
So, what do you do around here?
Just read books.
Transcribe music. Swim at the river.
- Yeah? - Go out at night.
- I don't know. - That sounds fun.
All right, buddy, thanks for the help.
- Oop. Sorry. Sorry about that. - Whoa.
It's all right.
All right, later.
What do you have there?
- That should all be... - Ah...
Oh, what is this?
These are the continuation of these archaeology department...
- These are archaeology? - Yeah, those are archaeology.
- The rest of these should be history. - Okay.
- More apricot juice? - Yeah.
- Here, tesoro. - Thank you.
Help yourself to some more.
The word "apricot" comes from the arabic.
It's like the words "algebra," "alchemy," "alcohol."
It derives from an arabic noun combined with the arabic article "al" before it.
The origin of our Italian albicocca
is al-barquq.
It's amazing that today in Israel and many arab countries,
the fruit's referred to by a totally different name, mismish.
I may have to disagree with you there, professor.
Huh?
I'm gonna talk etymology, so just bear with me a second. Um...
You're right in the case that most Latin words
do find their origins in Greek words.
However, in the case of "apricot," it's more of a complicated journey.
Ah. How so?
Uh, well, here, the Greek actually takes over from the Latin.
Latin word being, praecoquum or precoquere.
It's, "precook" or, "pre-ripen," as you know.
To be precocious or premature.
And the byzantines, to go on, then borrowed praecox, which became
prekokkia, which then became berikokki,
which is how the arabs got al-barquq.
That's courtesy of philology 101.
Flying colors.
He does this every year.
It's about drink time. Let's go here.
Let's see. What have we got?
Thank you.
How do you know about this place?
Dr. Oliver.
Okay.
No, no, no, no, no!
- Perfect timing. - Oh!
What's the matter?
- Are you all right? - Huh?
- What, pinch a nerve? - I'm okay.
Trust me. I'm about to be a doctor.
Hey, hey, come here. See? That's the problem.
You're too stressed. You just gotta relax.
I am relaxing.
Marzia, come here for a minute.
Back me up here.
- Feel that. Right there? - Oliver.
It's too tight. He needs to relax.
- Oliver! - Later.
You should relax more.
Okay, guys, ready?
Okay, our ball, our ball, our ball.
Twelve serving 11.
Mine, mine, mine, mine.
Go, go, go. Yeah, good. It's yours, it's yours.
I don't think he's arrogant.
Just watch. This is how he'll say goodbye to us.
With his... "Later."
Meanwhile, we'll have to put up with him for six long weeks.
Won't we, darling?
I think he's shy.
- You'll grow to like him. - What if I grow to hate him?
Darling?
Elio, play something.
Hm.
You're spoiling everyone's fun.
- Hey. - Hey.
What are you doing?
Reading.
How come you're not with everyone else down by the river?
- I have an allergy. It's... - Yeah, me too.
Maybe we have the same one.
Why don't you and I go swimming?
- Right now? - Yeah.
Come on. Let's go.
Do we have to go right now?
- I'll go get changed. - Okay.
- Meet you downstairs. - Mm-hm.
See you downstairs.
Elio, what are you doing?
Reading my music.
No, you're not.
- Thinking, then. - Yeah?
About what?
It's private.
- You're not gonna tell me? - I'm not gonna tell you.
He's not gonna tell me what he's thinking about.
Elio.
I guess I'll go hang out with your mom.
More apricot juice, please.
That's a good boy.
Thank god you're helping me.
Sounds nice.
Thought you didn't like it.
Play it again, will you?
Follow me.
That sounds different. Did you change it?
- Well, I changed it a little bit. - Why?
I just played it the way liszt would have played it
if he'd altered bach's version.
Play that again.
- Play what again? - The thing you played outside.
Oh, you want me to play the thing I played outside?
- Please. - Ah. Of course.
I can't believe you changed it again.
- I changed it a little bit. - Yeah. Why?
I just played it the way busoni would've played it
if he'd altered liszt's version.
What is wrong with the way bach would've played...?
Bach never wrote it for the guitar.
- We're not sure bach wrote it at all. - Forget I asked.
It's young bach.
He dedicated it to his brother.
Hey, professor.
Oh, here, please.
-Join me.
Just be honest.
How bad is it?
I think your insights here are persuasive, but, uh...
- Ciao. - Ciao.
Could do paradoxical.
And I can also do...
You sleeping?
I was.
Listen to this drivel. Tell me what you think.
- Wait. - What?
Can't hear you.
"For the early Greeks,
heidegger contends, this underlying hiddenness
is constitutive of the way beings are, not only in relation to themselves
but also in relation to other entities generally.
In other words, they do not construe hiddenness
merely or primarily in terms of entities' relations to human beings."
Does that make any sense to you?
Doesn't make any sense to me.
I don't think it makes any sense to your dad, either.
Maybe it did when you wrote it.
That might be the kindest thing anybody has said to me in months.
"Kind"?
Yep. Kind.
J“ time like silent stares j“
J“ with no apology j“
j“ move towards the stars j'
j“ and be my only one j'
- Hey, elio. - Hey.
J“ reach into the light j“
J“ and feel love's gravity j“
J“ that pulls you to my side... j"
J“ lady, lady, lady, ladyj'
j“ don't walk this lonely Avenue j“
J“ oh, lady, lady, lady, iadyj'
j“ let me touch that part of you j“
j“ you want me to j“
J“ in a room without a doorj'
j“ a kiss is not enough in j“
j“ love my way, it's a new road j“
j“ I follow where my mind goes, and j“
j“ they'd put us on a railroad j"
j“ they'd dearly make us pay j'
j“ for laughing in their faces j“
j“ and making it our way j“
j“ love my way, it's a new road j“
j“ I follow where my mind goes j'
j“ love my way, it's a new road j“
j“ I follow where my mind goes j'
We almost had sex last night.
Marzia and me.
Hm. Well, why didn't you?
I don't know.
Well, you know, it's better to have tried and failed, right?
All I had to do was find the courage to reach out and touch.
She would have said yes.
Well, try again later.
Try what later?
I just heard from the people in sirmione.
They say they've come up with something.
Oh! Fantastic.
Going there today.
- Would you like to come along? - I would love to. Thank you.
- Smell this. - Can I come too?
Uh, on the condition you remain silent.
Silent as in, "he has too many opinions,"
or as in, "just not telling anybody what an amazing thing you've dug up"?
Well, nothing has been dug up.
It's what has been brought out, out of the water.
Ciao, chiara!
So, I'm gonna be a little late today.
Only if you promise to wait for me
when I come back.
Dad always sits up front with anchise to navigate.
She seems to like you a lot.
She's more beautiful than she was last year.
I saw her naked on a night swim once.
Great body.
Trying to get me to like her?
What would be the harm in that?
No, no harm. Just typically like to go those things on my own, if you don't mind.
Uh-uh-uh.
Just don't play at being the good host.
What's going on, boys?
Oliver, come. Sit up front. Be my navigator.
What? What?
And then another thousand, and add five score.
Well, the dissension is whether it's named for a poem by catullos
or for the man himself.
- Oh! Dr. Roseburg. - Samuel!
- Benvenuto. - Look who's here.
He's grown a bit, eh? And this is Oliver.
- Ciao. - Ah! Ciao, Teresa.
Oh!
Hey, boys.
The ship went down in 1827 on the way to isola del garda.
Gossip has it this statue was a gift from count lechi
to his lover, contralto Adelaide malanotte.
There are four known sets, after the praxiteles originals.
This fellow's at number three.
The emperor hadrian had a pair, dug up at tivoli,
but, uh, one of the more philistine of the farnese popes melted them down
and had them recast as a particularly voluptuous Venus.
Who'd like to go for a swim before we head back?
We're all such pros.
- Yup. - Our statue, it's probably on the...
Elio!
Oliver!
- I have to go. I have to go. - Hey! Hey!
I have to go.
Goodness.
- Are you going too? - No, no.
I should stay and do some work on my book.
Come on. How about a drink to celebrate the day?
- Okay, maybe just one. - All right!
Marzia?
The cosmic fragments by heraclitus.
The meaning of the river flowing is not that all things are changing
so that we cannot encounter them twice,
but that some things stay the same only by changing.
Hm? Mm.
Darling, have you seen my heptaméron?
Mafalda.
It's in German.
Okay.
I can't remember where we left off, but I think you'll like this one.
So, I'll translate, huh?
"A handsome young knight is madly in love with a Princess.
And she, too, is in love with him,
though she seems not to be entirely aware of it.
Despite the friendship...
That blossoms between them,
or perhaps because of that very friendship,
the young knight finds himself so...
Hm...
So humbled and speechless
that he's totally unable to bring up the subject of his love.
Till one day, he asks the Princess point-blank...
"Is it better to speak or to die?"
I'll never have the courage to ask a question like that.
I doubt that.
Hey, Elly-belly.
You do know that you can always talk to us.
My mom's been reading this 16th-century French romance.
She read some of it to my dad and I the day the lights went out.
About the knight that doesn't know whether to speak or die?
Right.
So, does he or doesn't he?
"Better to speak," she said.
But she's on her guard.
She senses a trap somewhere.
So, does he speak?
- He fudges. - Hm.
It figures. He's French.
I gotta go to town in a little bit to pick some things up.
Oh, I can go. I'm not doing anything today.
Then why don't we go together?
Right now?
Yeah. Right now.
That is, of course, unless you have more important business going on.
- Mind if I put this in your bag? - Yes, please.
I fell. I was coming home the other day, and I scraped myself pretty badly.
Anchise insisted on applying some sort of witches' brew.
I think it helped.
- Hold this for a second, will you? - Sure.
- Want one? - Sure.
Notbad, huh?
I thought you didn't smoke.
- So, world war ii, huh? - Oh, no. This is world war I.
You'd have to be at least 80 years old to have known any of them.
Huh.
I never even heard of the battle of piave.
Battle of piave was one of the most lethal battles of world war I.
170,000 people died.
Is there anything you don't know?
I know nothing, Oliver.
You seem to know more than anybody else around here.
If you only knew how little I know about things that matter.
What things that matter?
You know what things.
Why are you telling me this?
Because I thought you should know.
Because you thought I should know?
Because I wanted you to know?
Because I wanted you to know.
Because there's no one else I can say this to but you.
Are you saying what I think you're saying?
Don't go anywhere. Stay right here.
You know I'm not going anywhere.
They mixed up all of my pages.
They're gonna have to retype this whole thing.
I'm not gonna have anything to work on. This is gonna set me back a whole day.
Damn it.
I shouldn't have said anything.
Just pretend you never did.
What does that mean? We're on speaking terms, but not really?
It means, we can't talk about those kinds of things.
Okay?
We just can't.
- Ready? - Let's go.
Pretty much.
Oh, my god.
- You thirsty? - Yeah.
Ii duce.
That's Italy.
Come on.
This is my spot. It's all mine.
I come here to read.
I can't tell you the number of books I've read here.
Oh, my god. It's freezing.
The spring is in the mountains.
The alpi orobie.
The water comes straight down from there.
I like the way you say things.
I don't know why you're always putting yourself down, though.
So, you won't, I guess?
You really that afraid of what I think?
You're making things very difficult for me.
I love this, Oliver.
What?
Everything.
Us, you mean?
Eh, it's not bad.
It's not bad.
Better now?
No, no, no.
- We should go. - Why?
I know myself. Okay? And we've been good.
We haven't done anything to be ashamed of, and that's a good thing.
I wanna be good.
Okay?
Am I offending you?
Just don't.
I think it's starting to get infected.
We can stop by the pharmacist's on the way back.
Excellent idea.
No, no, no.
Elio? You all right?
Sit for a second.
If you insist.
That wasn't my fault, right?
I'm a mess.
Well, the kitchen table sure is.
Where'd you learn to do that?
My bubby used to do this for us when we were sick.
Trust me, it helps.
I used to have one of these.
- You used to? - Yeah.
How come you never wear it?
My mother says we are Jews of discretion.
Well...
I guess that works for your mother.
Funny witch.
Fuck, you'll kill me if you do that.
I hope not.
Ciao.
Hey, are you leaving?
- Where's elio? - He's inside.
He had a nosebleed during lunch, and he's resting.
- Okay. I'll be back in a minute. - Bye.
Don't go anywhere.
J“ it's been a long, long time since I've memorized your face I“
j“ it's been four hours now since I've wandered through your place j"
j“ and when I sleep on your couch I feel vely safe j'
j“ and when you bring the blankets I cover up my face j“

j“ love you I“
j'idoj'
j“ love you I“
J“ and when you play guitar I listen to the strings buzz j'
j“ the metal vibrates underneath your fingers j“
J“ and when you crochet I feel mesmerized and proud j“

Traitor.
Please don't avoid me.
It kills me. Can't stand thinking you hate me.
Your silence is killing me. I'd sooner die than know you hate me.
I am such a pussy.
Way over the top.
Can't stand the silence.
I need to speak to you.
Did someone have a good night last night?
Hm?
Well, you must be tired, then.
Or were you playing poker too?
I don't play poker.
Several hundred color slides of our boxer and the others like him
arrived yesterday from Berlin.
We should start cataloging them.
That'll keep us busy until lunch, I imagine.
Sure.
Beautiful, aren't they?
They're all so incredibly sensual.
Because these are more hellenistic than 5th century athenian.
Most likely sculpted under the influence of praxiteles.
Right.
Greatest sculptor in antiquity.
Grow up. I'll see you at midnight.
"Grow up. I'll see you at midnight."
Muscles are firm. Look at his stomach, for example.
Not a straight body in these statues. They're all curved.
Sometimes impossibly curved. And so nonchalant.
Hence their ageless ambiguity.
As if they're daring you to desire them.
Don't forget, Isaac and mounir are coming for dinner.
- Also known as Sonny and Cher. - Okay.
I'd like you to wear that shirt they gave you for your birthday.
- Darling, they got it for you in Miami. - I'm sorry. It's too big.
It will make them so happy.
I'll try it on for Oliver. If Oliver thinks I look like a scarecrow,
I'm not wearing it.
Hey, what time you got?
- Well... later. - Later.
Mafalda.
- Ciao. - Ciao.
J“ words don't come easy to me j'
j“ how can I find a wayj'

j“ words don't come easy j“
j“ words don't come easy to me j'

j“ for me to say I love you j'

j“ to make you see I love you? J"
j“ words don't come easy j“
j“ this is just a simple song that I've made for you on my own I“
- How are you? - I'm good.
Good to see you.
No, no. I have to go.
- Okay. - Have a nice evening.
Oh, thank you, thank you.
This right here is the brand-new China
that you guys so kindly sent to us.
It looks wonderful. Come here, mounir, mounir.
- Come, come. - Yeah.
I can't put it on now. They've already met me.
- It'll look like a put-upjob. Papa. - Yes.
- Papa, it'll look like a put-up job. - No misbehaving tonight.
No... no laughing. When I tell you to play, you'll play.
You're too old not to accept people for who they are.
What's wrong with them? What's wrong with them?
You call them Sonny and Cher.
- That's what mom calls them. - Then you accept gifts from them.
The only person that reflects badly on is you.
Is it because they're gay or because they're ridiculous?
If you know as much about economics at mounir's age,
you'll be a very wise man, indeed.
And a credit to me.
Now, just get into this, you.
Lots of lovers at court.
I don't think so, I think... Oh, my god. Look at this.
These are unbelievable. I just...
Hey, look who's here.
Bravo.
Sorry. I have to go to bed. I'm sorry. I'm so tired.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Good night.
- Good night.
Do I know you?
Thank you again for everything.
- They're never gonna make it. - No, no. They're fine.
I'm glad you came.
Yeah, I'm nervous.
I like what you've done with the place.
It's nice.
You okay?
Me okay.
- Can I kiss you? - Yes, please.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Does this make you happy?
You're not gonna get a nosebleed on me, are you?
I'm not gonna get...
Off, off, off, off, off.
Yeah. Just pull it.
Or I'll pull it.
Oliver.
Call me by your name, and I'll call you by mine.
Oliver.
Did we make noise?
Nothing to worry about.
I don't know. Mafalda always looks for signs.
Well, she's not gonna find any.
You wore that shirt the first day you were here.
Will you give it to me when you go?
Let's go swimming.
Are you gonna hold what happened last night against me?
Elio. Come here.
Take your trunks off.
Well, that's promising.
You're hard again.
Professor, I got your note. Uh, thank you for reminding me.
I'm gonna pick up those typed pages today,
so maybe this afternoon would be a good time to...
Later.
We'll lock them over later, before you leave.
Okay. So, later.
Later.
Oliver.
You're not sick of me yet?
No, I just... I just wanted to be with you.
I'll... I'm gonna... I'll go.
Do you know how happy I am that we slept together?
I don't know.
Of course you don't know.
I don't want you to regret anything.
And I hate the thought that maybe I may have messed you up or...
I don't want us to pay...
- No, I... - One way or another.
It's not like I'm gonna tell anyone.
- You're not gonna be in trouble. - That's not what I'm talking about.
Are you happy I came here?
I would kiss you if I could.
Oh, fuck.
What did you do?
Oh, I see.
You've moved on to the plant kingdom already.
What's next? Minerals?
I suppose you've already given up animals. You know that's me.
I'm sick, aren't I?
I wish everybody was as sick as you.
Please don't do that.
- Wanna see something sick? - Don't do that.
- You wanna see something sick? - Please don't do this.
Hey. Please don't do it.
Why are you doing this to me?
- What are you doing? - Stop.
- You're fucking hurting me. - Then don't fight.
Sorry.
It's okay.
I don't want you to go.
God, we wasted so many days.
Why didn't you give me a sign?
- I did. I did. - You didn't give me a sign.
When?
You remember when we were playing volleyball
and I touched you?
Just to show you that I liked you?
And the way you reacted made me feel like I'd molested you.
- I'm sorry. - No, it's fine.
I just decided I should keep my distance.
I don't know.
I come out here for hours almost every night.
I didn't know that.
That's funny, I...
I thought that...
- Yeah, I know what you thought. - Stop. Stop.
"For Oliver.
From elio."
Elio?
I had to work.
Yeah, I don't know. I just, uh...
Am I your girl?
Oliver has to go to Bergamo for a few days.
Oh?
Research at the university.
Then he'll fly home from linate.
But what about elio?
Maybe it could be nice for the two of them to get away for a couple of days, no?
What do you think?
You know you've been our favorite student?
- You must come back. - You're not just saying that?
- Oliver. - Thank you very much, professor.
Oh, man.
Please, please come back soon.
Come back? I'm just going home to pack. I'm moving here.
You're welcome.
Oh, well...
- Thank you guys so much. - Of course.
Oliver, Oliver.
- Come back. - It's been...
Come here, come here.
It's been amazing. Thank you guys.
Well, later, perlmans.
Later. Later, later, later.
- Ciao. Ciao. - Ciao.
- Arrivederci. - Arrivederci.
- Arrive-ciao! Ciao. - Ciao, ciao.
- Ciao! - Ciao, ciao. Ciao, ciao, ciao.
Tell elio to call when you get there.
Oh, no.
- What? - Nothing.
J“ oh, to see without my eyes j"
j“ the first time that you kissed me j“
j“ boundless by the time I cried j“
j“ I built your walls around me j'
Yes!
J“ white noise, what an awful sound... j“

j“ oh, oh, whoa-oh-whoa, is me j“
j“ the first time that you touched me... i“

j“ ba-dum-ba-dum-ba-dum j'
Oh, fuck.
You hear that?
Wait, wait, wait.
No, no, no, it's this way. Come on. Come on. You're missing it.
Come on.

Guys, don't stop.
Don't stop.

This. This.
This. You. You are...

j“ there's dust in all their hearts... j“
What'd she say?
J“ it's a new road I“
j“ I follow where my mind goes... j“
Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.
Did you get your passport?
You get your passport?
Ciao.
How are you?
Missed you at dinner.
Welcome home.
- Oliver enjoyed the trip? - Yeah.
You two had a nice friendship.
You're too smart not to know how rare,
how special what you two had was.
- Oliver was Oliver. Mm-hm. - Mm.
- Oliver may be very intelligent, but... - Ah.
He was more than intelligent.
What you two had
had everything and nothing to do with intelligence.
It was good.
You're both lucky to have found each other
because you too are good...
I think he was better than...
I think he was better than me.
I'm sure he'd say the same thing about you.
Yeah. He'd say the same thing.
It flatters you both.
And when you least expect it,
nature has cunning ways of finding our weakest spot.
Just remember, I'm here.
Right now, you may not wanna feel anything.
Maybe you never wanted to feel anything.
And, uh...
Maybe it's not to me you'd want to speak about these things, but, uh...
Feel something you obviously did.
Look, you had a beautiful friendship.
Maybe more than a friendship.
And I envy you.
In my place, most parents would hope the whole thing goes away.
Pray their sons land on their feet, but...
I am not such a parent.
We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster,
that we go bankrupt by the age of 30.
And have less to offer, each time we start with someone new.
But to make yourself feel nothing
so as not to feel anything...
What a waste.
Have I spoken out of turn?
Then I'll say one more thing.
It'll clear the air.
I may have come close,
but I never had what you two have.
Something always held me back
or stood in the way.
How you live your life is your business.
Just remember,
our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once,
and before you know it, your heart's worn out.
And as for your body,
there comes a point when no one looks at it
much less wants to come near it.
Right now, there's sorrow, pain.
Don't kill it,
and with it, the joy you felt.
Does mom know?
I don't think she does.
Ooh, iatkes.
And then there's this one.
She looks a bit weak.
She comes highly recommended by my...
Her special area of study is...
I'll get it.
Elio, you there?
- Hi. - Hey.
- How are you? - I'm good.
I'm good. How are you?
- How are your parents? - I'm good. They're fine.
I miss you.
I miss you too.
Very much.
- I have some news. - News?
What, you're getting married?
Isuppose.
I might be getting married next spring, yeah.
You never said anything.
Been off and on for three years.
That's wonderful news.
Do you mind?
- Oliver. - Oliver.
- Hey, hey, hey.
Darling, when are you coming back?
I wish I was.
You caught us in the process of choosing the new you for next summer.
- And guess what? He's a she. - Oh, nice.
Well, speaking of "she" I'm calling to tell you guys I got engaged.
Ah! Wonderful!
- Congratulations. - Mazel tov!
- Congratulations Oliver. - Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Listen, we'll leave you... We'll let you speak to elio.
- Happy hanukkah! - Happy hanukkah!
Bye, sweetheart.
They know about us.
I figured.
How?
Well, from the way your dad spoke to me.
He made me feel like I was a part of the family.
Almost like a son-in-law.
You're so lucky.
My father would have carted me off to a correctional facility.
Oliver.
I remember everything.
