LEO Back to square one.
RAFFAEL Osteria Zeno is very close by.
LEO The closer the better. Everybody into the car!
MARIANNE Such an afternoon!
CLAUDIA Afternoon? It's almost suppertime!
LEO Like they say: Later than we think.
PAUL Yeah.
MARIANNE I adore afternoons. They're my favorite.
FRITZ What?
MARIANNE What?
FRITZ Favorite what?
MARIANNE Favorite time of the day, darling.
CLAUDIA Leave it alone.
PAUL Something's happening,
Something very odd.
LEO Odder than the food situation in this town?
FRITZ Okay, boys. Shall we talk semolina?
PAUL "Semolina"?
FRITZ Drug money.
PAUL Oh, that semolina...
FRITZ Fifty million bucks or I tell the Feds about your pumpkin cartel.
LEO What're you planning to do with 50 mil?
FRITZ Destroy capitalism.
PAUL Do we have that much in the, you know, the silo?
FRITZ You want to save your asses, 50 mil's the price.
LEO You can't dig into your trust fund for that? Oh, I'm sorry. Did I say a dirty word?
FRITZ Okay. I'm calling.
RAFFAEL Gentlemen? Do we save ourselves and "destroy capitalism"?
LEO Sounds like a bargain to me. Paul? Raffi? It's a deal! You got robbed, kid.
MARIANNE , CLAUDIA What a perfect,
What a perfect day!
PAUL Something's happening,
MARIANNE , CLAUDIA On a day like today,
What could ever go wrong?
PAUL Can't you feel it?
I can feel it...
Something's going on...
MARIANNE I know! It's like me blanking on this thing I was supposed to do.
PAUL Something doesn't fit,
And I don't like it, not one bit
CLAUDIA You know what's wrong, Mare?
Your brain is on the Fritz!
RAFFAEL Ah, the sight of beautiful ladies laughing. And behold! Osteria Zeno!
LEO Everybody out of the car!
