[Nancy] Growing up,
I knew that I had a very special mother.

14
00:00:38,913 --> 00:00:41,332
And we were raised

15
00:00:41,416 --> 00:00:46,004
in a very wonderful,
loving, Italian heritage background.

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,843
I didn't have Cheerios for breakfast.
I had frittata with broccolini.

I never followed the herd. Never.

18
00:00:57,223 --> 00:00:58,600
It didn't occur to me to do so.

19
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:05,023

telling me what they felt I should do.

00:01:05,857 --> 00:01:07,567
"Mommy, you should run!

21
00:01:07,650 --> 00:01:12,697
You should jump.
You should do all kinds of exercises."

22
00:01:12,781 --> 00:01:16,326

"And you know,
Mom, don't eat all that fruit.

00:10:07,231 --> 00:10:10,985
Because it was
the first time that they, uh…

173
00:10:12,028 --> 00:10:16,073
gave the possibility
of winning an award to a foreign film.

174
00:10:16,741 --> 00:10:20,202
So I said, "Well, if I am among the five,

175
00:10:20,286 --> 00:10:23,289
I'm going to be very happy,
but I would never won it."

176
00:10:23,372 --> 00:10:24,749
So I stayed home.

177
00:10:24,832 --> 00:10:26,250
The telephone rings.

178
00:10:28,794 --> 00:10:30,212
And who is on the phone?

179
00:10:31,255 --> 00:10:32,673
Cary Grant.

180
00:10:32,757 --> 00:10:35,134
[audience laughs]

181
00:10:35,217 --> 00:10:38,512
Saying, "Sophia, you won!
Sophia, you won!"

182
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:46,270
[Nancy] In Two Women,
she depicts a very strong woman,

183
00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:48,189
who no matter what was happening,

184
00:10:48,272 --> 00:10:51,692
the bombings everywhere she went,
by her feet, by her…

185
00:10:52,526 --> 00:10:56,113
she was going to protect her child.

186
00:11:02,411 --> 00:11:05,831
[soldiers chattering, shouting]

187
00:11:10,586 --> 00:11:13,381
That no matter what you do sometimes,

188
00:11:14,548 --> 00:11:19,929
you can't always… get it right.

189
00:11:21,847 --> 00:11:23,224
You just can't.

190
00:11:26,727 --> 00:11:29,689
In this scene right there,
she sighed relief.

191
00:11:29,772 --> 00:11:31,649
She believed with all her heart

192
00:11:31,732 --> 00:11:34,443
that nothing would happen
to her in the church.

193
00:11:34,527 --> 00:11:36,612
[suspenseful music playing on screen]

194
00:11:36,696 --> 00:11:38,698
[footsteps approach]

195
00:11:55,506 --> 00:11:58,509

-[women screaming]

199
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:08,477

201

-[man grunting]
-[wailing]

203
00:12:21,866 --> 00:12:23,492
[in English] Mama!

204
00:12:29,248 --> 00:12:32,960
I find that excruciatingly painful.

205
00:12:35,087 --> 00:12:37,590
Actually excruciating.

206
00:12:42,762 --> 00:12:47,057
Parents can't protect kids
every single minute.

207
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:49,059
I mean, you try.

208
00:12:49,810 --> 00:12:52,062
You live every moment to protect them.

209
00:12:52,772 --> 00:12:55,399
But what does it take?

210
00:12:59,153 --> 00:13:02,573
Alfred was the first born, in 1960.

211
00:13:03,449 --> 00:13:07,077
Glenn, 1962.

212
00:13:07,161 --> 00:13:10,831
Regina, 1963.

213
00:13:11,499 --> 00:13:14,043
Dominic, 1964.

214
00:13:18,047 --> 00:13:20,007
I knew I had to be strong.

215
00:13:20,591 --> 00:13:22,426
I knew I had to be very strong.

216
00:13:23,427 --> 00:13:25,054
With those three boys?

217
00:13:28,599 --> 00:13:30,100
Regina was an angel.

218
00:13:30,184 --> 00:13:32,728
I always felt
that she was the gift for me…

219
00:13:33,354 --> 00:13:34,772
to do what I had to do.

220
00:13:39,944 --> 00:13:42,947
I was destroyed
when Alfred told me he had cancer.

221
00:13:43,447 --> 00:13:45,783
Fourth stage Hodgkin's disease.

222
00:13:46,867 --> 00:13:49,703
He said, "I have six months to live, Mom."

223
00:13:50,371 --> 00:13:56,293
But with the savage beating
of chemotherapy, he did make it.

224
00:14:01,048 --> 00:14:01,882
And Glenn,

225
00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:06,095
he had an early experience
that he didn't tell anybody.

226
00:14:11,851 --> 00:14:13,602
I never had them sleep out.

227
00:14:14,270 --> 00:14:17,940
I asked if they wanted their friends,
they could sleep here by me.

228
00:14:18,023 --> 00:14:19,358
They had overnights.

229
00:14:19,859 --> 00:14:23,445
But no, no. This one time…

230
00:14:24,947 --> 00:14:29,076
they asked me right at this swim meet,
"Can your son sleep over?"

231
00:14:30,703 --> 00:14:32,329
The uncle,

232
00:14:32,413 --> 00:14:35,958
a boxing champion, they looked up to him.

233
00:14:37,585 --> 00:14:38,752
And he was abusive.

234
00:14:40,296 --> 00:14:43,007
He was told,
"If you tell your parents anything,

235
00:14:43,507 --> 00:14:44,925
we're gonna kill them."

236
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:48,512
I didn't know anything till he was 18.

237
00:14:55,436 --> 00:14:58,939
When she sees them,
what they're doing to her daughter,

238
00:14:59,815 --> 00:15:01,901
she can't do anything about it.

239
00:15:05,613 --> 00:15:08,282
And then, of course,
the mother's destroyed.

240
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,662
And the fact
that the mother actually gets up.

241
00:15:14,955 --> 00:15:18,542
Gets up instead of just dying.

242
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:21,962
That's courage. That's strength.

243
00:15:22,046 --> 00:15:25,341
That's a power
that you pull that you don't even have.

244
00:15:25,841 --> 00:15:29,803
You create that power
right out of your gut.

245
00:15:31,138 --> 00:15:33,682
And that's what she conveys in this scene.

246
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:37,144
No matter what, you have to go forward.

247
00:15:40,314 --> 00:15:42,316
[chattering]

248
00:15:48,864 --> 00:15:50,866
[speaking Italian]

249
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:52,451
Action!

250
00:15:53,994 --> 00:15:56,413
[speaking Italian]

251
00:16:04,213 --> 00:16:06,090
[Edoardo in English] Cut! Perfect.
Moving on.

252
00:16:07,341 --> 00:16:08,759
[in Italian] Bravo, Mama!

253
00:16:11,929 --> 00:16:15,349
[in English] Perfect. Perfect.
That's it. That's it.

254
00:16:15,432 --> 00:16:17,810
[in Italian] That look was just right.

255
00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:20,562
Absolutely.

256
00:16:22,481 --> 00:16:25,109
[Loren in English]
You're always trying to find an answer.

257
00:16:26,318 --> 00:16:28,028
Sometimes there is no answer.

258
00:16:29,238 --> 00:16:33,534
What really counts
is your truth, your belief in life.

259
00:16:34,284 --> 00:16:35,119
In people.

260
00:16:35,202 --> 00:16:39,999
In children,
in your son, in everybody, you know.

261
00:16:41,166 --> 00:16:44,086
[Edoardo] Mama, you're beautiful.

262
00:16:44,169 --> 00:16:46,505
I'm seeing you right here. Stunning.

263
00:16:46,588 --> 00:16:48,590
[men and women chattering]

264
00:16:55,222 --> 00:16:58,767
[Nancy] She wanted, more than anything
in the world, to be a mother.

265
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:01,854
My journey was a tough one.

266
00:17:01,937 --> 00:17:03,897
But I think her journey
was a tough one too,

267
00:17:03,981 --> 00:17:07,526
because even though--
look, she got an Oscar and this and that,

268
00:17:07,609 --> 00:17:11,155
when she wanted to have the babies,
she had to stay in bed.

269
00:17:12,156 --> 00:17:15,117
[man] What was the point of the actual
staying in bed for eight months?

270
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,995
Well, because, uh…

271
00:17:19,246 --> 00:17:22,875
if I didn't,
I was going to lose my babies.

272
00:17:26,628 --> 00:17:30,090
[Nancy] She wanted those kids,
and she made it happen.

273
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:32,843
She never gave up.

274
00:17:37,639 --> 00:17:40,559
[Sophia]
I worked very hard to have two children.

275
00:17:40,642 --> 00:17:43,145
I worked very hard to have a husband.

276
00:17:43,228 --> 00:17:46,190
I worked very hard for whatever I had.

277
00:17:48,025 --> 00:17:50,861
[Nancy] So this is Marriage Italian Style.

278
00:17:50,944 --> 00:17:52,362
[speaking Italian on screen]

279
00:17:52,446 --> 00:17:54,198
[Nancy in English] Well, here she is.

280
00:17:54,281 --> 00:17:57,910
Absolutely delighted that she persevered

281
00:17:57,993 --> 00:18:01,705
and reached exactly what she wanted to do.

282
00:18:02,831 --> 00:18:05,334
Making herself very legitimate.

283
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:16,136
[Sophia] I thought I had a great complex
because my father never married my mother.

284
00:18:16,220 --> 00:18:17,930
And that's why I needed legality.

285
00:18:18,013 --> 00:18:20,808
I needed children.
I needed a family of my own.

286
00:18:21,725 --> 00:18:27,606
[Nancy] Carlo Ponti
was already a very successful producer

287
00:18:27,689 --> 00:18:29,691
when he met Sophia.

288
00:18:32,194 --> 00:18:35,614
He helped her become a movie star,
and then, of course, later on,

289
00:18:35,697 --> 00:18:37,282
it became a romance.

290
00:18:39,076 --> 00:18:44,248
When a guy helps you be
who you wanna be and who you are,

291
00:18:44,957 --> 00:18:46,583
they become very sexy.

292
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:51,964
And do you know,
she could have married Cary Grant.

293
00:18:53,340 --> 00:18:56,760
Now, when they made
their second film together, Houseboat,

294
00:18:56,844 --> 00:18:58,637
he said, "Let's get married."

295
00:19:00,973 --> 00:19:03,892
[Sophia]
He was truly very much in love with me.

296
00:19:05,352 --> 00:19:07,271
But when the moment came,

297
00:19:07,354 --> 00:19:11,608
that I had to decide,
that I had to choose,

298
00:19:12,484 --> 00:19:15,237
I chose for Carlo because I thought,

299
00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:19,825
he belonged to my world, to my people.

300
00:19:19,908 --> 00:19:25,080
And to marry
somebody that was not Italian,

301
00:19:25,164 --> 00:19:27,332
that was not of my hometown,

302
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:30,460
I would have felt completely lost.

303
00:19:34,548 --> 00:19:36,592
[Nancy] And so she made the decision.

304
00:19:36,675 --> 00:19:40,804
"I'm gonna marry the person
who knows me and adores me.

305
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,101
And we will make a life together
through thick and thin."

306
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:49,021
[laughing]

307
00:19:50,189 --> 00:19:52,816
-Okay.
-One type of drops or more than one?

308
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:54,568
You're getting several.

309
00:19:54,651 --> 00:19:57,029
-[man] Oh. Drop away.
-[Nancy] I have to shake it.

310
00:19:57,112 --> 00:19:59,114
Now, just lean back a little now.

311
00:20:01,575 --> 00:20:04,411
Okay. Okay.

312
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:06,163
Alan and I…

313
00:20:07,164 --> 00:20:08,916
went to high school together.

314
00:20:09,833 --> 00:20:13,587
Alan was voted best-looking
and best athlete.

315
00:20:14,463 --> 00:20:16,256
I was voted most popular girl.

316
00:20:17,090 --> 00:20:19,927
He said he knew exactly who I was

317
00:20:20,010 --> 00:20:24,473
and that he thought,
"One day, she'll be my girl."

318
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:28,101
I said, "How could you think that?"

319
00:20:28,185 --> 00:20:29,978
He said, "Easy.

320
00:20:31,188 --> 00:20:35,776
I knew that if I married you,
I would never have a bad day."

321
00:20:37,694 --> 00:20:40,239
And I said, "Are you serious?"
He said, "Oh, yeah.

322
00:20:40,322 --> 00:20:41,949
And it's true.

323
00:20:42,032 --> 00:20:45,494
I've never had a bad day married to you."

324
00:20:46,954 --> 00:20:47,788
Alan.

325
00:20:48,372 --> 00:20:50,374
[laughing]

326
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:54,294
-Yeah.
-You really are cute, Alan.

327
00:20:55,379 --> 00:20:57,839
I'll tell you something,
and this is hilarious.

328
00:20:57,923 --> 00:21:00,884
I was married with two children,

329
00:21:00,968 --> 00:21:04,805
and we were fortunate enough
to have a babysitter one of the nights.

330
00:21:04,888 --> 00:21:09,935
And-- and-- and that's when I saw

331
00:21:10,018 --> 00:21:12,020
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

332
00:21:12,104 --> 00:21:13,897
[upbeat music playing on screen]

333
00:21:13,981 --> 00:21:16,024
[man singing in Italian]

334
00:21:20,612 --> 00:21:22,614
[Nancy laughs]

335
00:21:25,033 --> 00:21:26,285
[man on screen] Mmm, yeah!

336
00:21:26,368 --> 00:21:30,038
I was a little-waisted girl, like this.

337
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:33,959
Not wasted, as in drunk.
I mean my waist, my shape.

338
00:21:34,042 --> 00:21:37,629
[laughs]
And I wanted to imitate Sophia Loren.

339
00:21:39,423 --> 00:21:42,259
I thought,
"We have to keep fun in this marriage.

340
00:21:42,342 --> 00:21:44,219
We can't be too serious.

341
00:21:44,678 --> 00:21:46,305
When he comes home,

342
00:21:46,388 --> 00:21:48,807
I am gonna have this garter belt on,

343
00:21:49,683 --> 00:21:51,101
à la Sophia Loren."

344
00:21:51,184 --> 00:21:53,562
So I put a bathrobe on
and nothing else on.

345
00:21:53,645 --> 00:21:55,439
And Alan came home. [chuckles]

346
00:21:55,522 --> 00:21:58,483
He said, "Okay, hon. The kids are asleep.
Are we gonna go to bed?"

347
00:21:58,567 --> 00:22:00,152
I said, "Al!"

348
00:22:02,321 --> 00:22:04,406
[howls]

349
00:22:06,450 --> 00:22:09,745
Goes fast. I can't believe
60 years have passed so fast.

350
00:22:09,828 --> 00:22:11,955
-[Nancy] I know. It's hard to believe.
-It is.

351
00:22:12,456 --> 00:22:15,625
I know
you always told me you loved my brains.

352
00:22:15,709 --> 00:22:18,045
[Alan] I thought
you were gonna say something else.

353
00:22:18,128 --> 00:22:20,881
-I heard that "B."
-[laughs]

354
00:22:20,964 --> 00:22:24,468
Well, I knew that you loved my brains,

355
00:22:24,551 --> 00:22:27,095
-and I know that you loved my figure.
-Mm-hmm.

356
00:22:27,179 --> 00:22:28,930
[Nancy] What else did you really always--

357
00:22:29,014 --> 00:22:30,974
-Really. No, really. What did you really--
-No.

358
00:22:31,058 --> 00:22:33,977
[Nancy] 'Cause there were so many girls
that really were crazy about you.

359
00:22:34,061 --> 00:22:35,145
What I really liked

360
00:22:35,228 --> 00:22:38,440
is how you could handle
every little situation that came up.

361
00:22:38,523 --> 00:22:41,777
How you address every challenge.
It's very intense.

362
00:22:42,694 --> 00:22:45,655
You don't ease up on anything.
Very intense.

363
00:22:46,531 --> 00:22:51,119
And yes, you do show passion
and emotions on a lot of things.

364
00:22:52,204 --> 00:22:55,582
[man] Did anyone like Cary Grant
ever sweep you off your feet?

365
00:22:59,211 --> 00:23:01,296
That's a really good question.

366
00:23:02,214 --> 00:23:03,048
Once.

367
00:23:04,591 --> 00:23:05,425
Yeah.

368
00:23:07,427 --> 00:23:12,682
Yeah, and I had to hold myself
in definite demeanor

369
00:23:12,766 --> 00:23:14,643
because I was already married.

370
00:23:16,728 --> 00:23:19,272
I was the one at the pool with the kids.

371
00:23:19,773 --> 00:23:21,191
I knew it would go nowhere.

372
00:23:21,691 --> 00:23:22,859
Nowhere at all.

373
00:23:23,693 --> 00:23:26,780
My husband knew enough that

374
00:23:27,531 --> 00:23:32,119
his wife was very often liked very much.

375
00:23:32,911 --> 00:23:36,081
And-- but he also knew
I always knew my place.

376
00:23:37,207 --> 00:23:38,583
And I'm not sorry.

377
00:23:39,084 --> 00:23:41,253
You know, you make these decisions.

378
00:23:41,753 --> 00:23:47,717
But I would like to think that every woman
has had more than one experience where,

379
00:23:47,801 --> 00:23:50,679
you know,
someone made them feel very special.

380
00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:52,431
You know.

381
00:23:52,514 --> 00:23:55,016
The difference is,
what do you do about it?

382
00:24:30,719 --> 00:24:34,639
-[men and women clamoring]
-[bell tolling]

383
00:24:40,020 --> 00:24:41,229
[Sophia] It's very…

384
00:24:50,197 --> 00:24:52,491
…uh, very difficult.

385
00:24:57,537 --> 00:24:59,331
You try to forget about it,

386
00:24:59,414 --> 00:25:04,377
but then the torment
that you have inside comes back again.

387
00:25:04,878 --> 00:25:10,383
What can I do?
And then I start to think positively.

388
00:25:10,467 --> 00:25:13,553
I tell the story of my life to myself.

389
00:25:13,637 --> 00:25:17,974
Say, "You were born
in a very poor neighborhood

390
00:25:18,058 --> 00:25:19,726
during the war,

391
00:25:19,809 --> 00:25:21,186
and you made it.

392
00:25:21,269 --> 00:25:23,563
And you didn't know that
you were going to make it."

393
00:25:23,647 --> 00:25:26,608
And then I see my children, my family.

394
00:25:27,108 --> 00:25:29,528
And then I feel a little better.

395
00:25:36,993 --> 00:25:38,787
Life is not easy. It's hard.

396
00:25:39,746 --> 00:25:42,082
Think about it. Yeah.

397
00:25:48,838 --> 00:25:52,467
[Nancy] How many things
have we all had in our lifetime…

398
00:25:53,593 --> 00:25:55,554
that happened beyond our control?

399
00:25:56,596 --> 00:25:58,265
And what do we do with that?

400
00:26:01,101 --> 00:26:04,729
My son Dominic, he loved the ocean.

401
00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:07,357
Waves. Surfing.

402
00:26:08,233 --> 00:26:11,319
His friends said, "Dom,
come with us to Puerto Rico,

403
00:26:11,403 --> 00:26:12,737
and let's surf."

404
00:26:16,408 --> 00:26:17,534
He broke his ribs.

405
00:26:18,994 --> 00:26:22,581
What no one picked up
is that his artery was severed.

406
00:26:24,416 --> 00:26:27,294
It took him three days
before his heart gave out.

407
00:26:34,634 --> 00:26:36,177
I still…

408
00:26:37,137 --> 00:26:39,806
I don't think it's real yet.

409
00:26:42,642 --> 00:26:45,937
My God,
I miss his hugs, his kisses, his light.

410
00:26:46,730 --> 00:26:50,025
He could light up a room.
You didn't need electricity.

411
00:26:50,108 --> 00:26:51,026
His love…

412
00:26:52,777 --> 00:26:53,612
And yet…

413
00:26:54,904 --> 00:26:56,990
I spent a lot of my time thinking

414
00:26:57,073 --> 00:26:58,783
that I could fix anything.

415
00:26:59,284 --> 00:27:02,454
And that backfired.
Because how can you fix everything?

416
00:27:03,330 --> 00:27:04,414
I thought I did.

417
00:27:04,497 --> 00:27:06,166
Well, had four kids.

418
00:27:06,249 --> 00:27:09,169
It's like, you study for an exam,
you're gonna get an A.

419
00:27:09,586 --> 00:27:10,462
[smacks lips]

420
00:27:10,545 --> 00:27:14,424
You know, you take care
of your family, devote yourself.

421
00:27:16,134 --> 00:27:19,846
Well, it doesn't always
turn out the way one expects.

422
00:27:24,434 --> 00:27:25,894
Alan couldn't handle it.

423
00:27:26,770 --> 00:27:29,481
It was hard for me, but I swallowed a lot

424
00:27:29,564 --> 00:27:32,067
because I had a job, a serious job to do.

425
00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:38,865
To show Dominic's boys
an example of how you deal

426
00:27:39,449 --> 00:27:41,201
with death of a loved one.

427
00:27:42,410 --> 00:27:44,287
They had not seen that before.

428
00:27:45,580 --> 00:27:47,749
So, I spent the next three years

429
00:27:48,541 --> 00:27:50,335
concentrating on them.

430
00:27:56,591 --> 00:27:59,177
-[woman] Happy birthday!
-Hi, Dolly!

431
00:27:59,260 --> 00:28:00,804
My favorite people. [kisses]

432
00:28:00,887 --> 00:28:03,431
-There's my girl!
-How you doing?

433
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:04,933
I'm doing all right…

434
00:28:05,433 --> 00:28:09,896
-Everyone has their own life journey.
-[chattering]

435
00:28:09,979 --> 00:28:11,564
-[woman] Aww, life is good.
-[Nancy] Yes.

436
00:28:11,648 --> 00:28:13,942
-Happy birthday, all of us.
-[man] Whoo!

437
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:17,237
-[Nancy] I'm 82 and a half already.
-[all laughing]

438
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,408
[Nancy] I just lived my journey
the best I could do each day.

439
00:28:22,701 --> 00:28:24,452
We know about the pitfalls,

440
00:28:24,536 --> 00:28:27,831
but one of the joys in life

441
00:28:28,581 --> 00:28:31,251
is about who we meet along the way.

442
00:28:49,310 --> 00:28:51,771
[woman]
We're going to 6067 Wilshire Boulevard.

443
00:28:53,148 --> 00:28:54,649
We're on our way.

444
00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:56,651
Oh, this is the sweetest thing.

445
00:28:57,610 --> 00:28:59,529
Where is our girl?

446
00:29:01,406 --> 00:29:05,410
[in Italian]
Oh, dear! How much I love you!

447
00:29:05,493 --> 00:29:06,911
How are you?

448
00:29:06,995 --> 00:29:07,954
Good.

449
00:29:08,037 --> 00:29:10,623
It feels like we know each other.

450
00:29:10,707 --> 00:29:12,959
We know each other very well.

451
00:29:13,042 --> 00:29:14,794
I really think so.

452
00:29:14,878 --> 00:29:19,507
All the things
that you've done, you represent us.

453
00:29:20,175 --> 00:29:22,302
One hundred percent.

454
00:29:22,385 --> 00:29:25,305
I'm so happy to meet you.
I'm really happy, truly.

455
00:29:25,388 --> 00:29:28,433
[woman in English] Thank you
for coming here too. I have grown up…

456
00:29:28,516 --> 00:29:29,642
[Sophia] To find this family…

457
00:29:31,311 --> 00:29:35,648
it was, for me,
a kind of, uh… wonderful miracle.

458
00:29:35,732 --> 00:29:37,066
-[chattering]
-[laughing]

459
00:29:37,150 --> 00:29:40,403
[Sophia]
She said that their family loved me a lot.

460
00:29:40,487 --> 00:29:44,032
That each time
the daughter was doing something,

461
00:29:44,115 --> 00:29:45,909
the mother was always say,

462
00:29:45,992 --> 00:29:48,286
"Sophia is there.
She's going to help you."

463
00:29:49,412 --> 00:29:53,208
Like I was an image, which at that time,

464
00:29:53,291 --> 00:29:55,460
maybe it was something
that she was looking for,

465
00:29:55,543 --> 00:29:58,171
-and she couldn't find.
-[chattering]

466
00:29:58,254 --> 00:30:01,466
-[Sophia] It means something to people.
-[glasses clink]

467
00:30:01,549 --> 00:30:03,134
I think it's wonderful.

468
00:30:03,218 --> 00:30:05,929
["That's Amore" by Rocco Granata playing]

469
00:30:06,513 --> 00:30:10,016
[Nancy]
No one gets everything they want in life.

470
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:11,976
No one does.

471
00:30:12,060 --> 00:30:15,688
But we all get enough to feel

472
00:30:16,397 --> 00:30:18,149
that our lives are important.

473
00:30:19,234 --> 00:30:21,736
-I get good advice from Sophia.
-[Sophia] I'm a good teacher.

474
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,071
[all laughing]

475
00:30:23,154 --> 00:30:24,781
You're a very good teacher.

476
00:30:24,864 --> 00:30:28,201
-I come in whenever it's necessary.
-That's right.

477
00:30:28,284 --> 00:30:29,828
[laughing continues]

00:30:29,911 --> 00:30:31,120
