(Secretary) Hello.

327
00:24:04,791 --> 00:24:07,500
(Nicola) The aim is to have you see
what the furnishings cost...

328
00:24:07,541 --> 00:24:10,541
..so you'll understand
what the return must be.

It sounds very difficult,
but if you reflect, it's also simple.

(Nicola) The pediatrician guru says elementary
things that never crossed your mind.

334
00:24:30,708 --> 00:24:35,250
(Pediatrician) Not sleeping, not eating,
is perhaps his only way to be heard.

335
00:24:35,291 --> 00:24:40,166
(Nicola) And you cry, moved either
by the simplicity and power of those words...

336
00:24:40,208 --> 00:24:43,250
..or by the imagined cost of the visit.

337
00:24:43,291 --> 00:24:47,291
Sorry, I don't know why
I feel like crying.

338
00:24:47,333 --> 00:24:52,416
Now I'll make all those faces we make
when we're trying not to cry.

It's been only three months but I feel
my husband has stopped seeing me.

344
00:25:17,333 --> 00:25:20,625
(Nicola) For some psychoanalytical reason,
in front of the pediatrician guru,...

345
00:25:20,666 --> 00:25:23,125
..we say things that we don't at home.

353
00:25:47,958 --> 00:25:54,083
(Pediatrician) You should each try putting
yourselves in the other's shoes.

354
00:25:55,416 --> 00:25:58,500
And you must spend more time
with the baby.

How? Nicola works
and I'm soon going back to work myself.

takes a quantum leap.

No, not work.
Think up something, work can wait.

- (Pediatrician) Don't you have an income?

(Pediatrician) A house to rent on the beach,
in the mountains?

360
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,708
(Pediatrician) An income, a monthly revenue.

- (Nicola) You were moved too.

(Pediatrician) If you're not frustrated,
he won't be.

1145
01:28:03,458 --> 01:28:06,250
(Pediatrician) He's what you are,...

1146
01:28:06,291 --> 01:28:09,583

That's why you must
give yourselves peace.

1152

So, he'll also give you peace.

be relaxed,...

..without counting the minutes,
being with him,...

1159
01:28:59,291 --> 01:29:03,333
..you'll look at him
and he'll already be sleeping.

(Pediatrician) If you accept the baby,
she will too.

1162
01:29:13,500 --> 01:29:18,458
(Pediatrician) You have to move to acceptance,
you have to accept him.

1163

Things can change
only if first you accept them.

to buy them, remember? - (Nicola) I'm off.
