Come va? Let's sit. At least you dressed properly this time. [Kirk] Wait a minute. I can't believe you're taking me here? [Estefano] Why, you want the Ritz? [Kirk] Er... No, not really. [Estefano] If you're ashamed to be here, then go. We can continue the interview another time. [Kirk] No, no... It's just... [Estefano] You thought I was leading the dolce vita. [Kirk] Er...yes... [Estefano] You're too transparent. [Kirk] Am I? [Estefano] I'm an actor. I see these things. [Pre-chorus] [Kirk] How can it be like on the posters, How can it be? * How can it be?... How can it be? like on the big screen? How can it be? * I got a headache... * Oh my, oh my... * My head is spinning... [Chorus, choir] * Don't dawdle for too long * On the side of the road * Or you'll miss your hard-earned dinner. * Running back hungry * When the stomach's growling * Would be unpleasant... * Would it not be so? [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 2] [Kirk] And what do *you* see? [Estefano] Someone who has no clue what he got himself into. [Kirk] Is it *that obvious*? [Estefano] More or less. So, wanna try Giulia's ristretto? È semplicemente divino. [Kirk] If you insist. Can they make actually edible food here? [Estefano] Stai prendendo me in giro? Italians are the best cooks. You will see. Giulia, bella, vieni qui? Un ristretto e la tua famosa margherita per il mio stimato amico qui presente. E uno anche per me. Grazie. [Kirk] They're not going to poison me here, right? [Estefano] Pazzo. I am still here. Alive and kicking. [Pre-chorus] [Estefano] How can it be like on the posters, How can it be? * How can it be?... How can it be? like on the big screen? How can it be? * I got a headache... * Oh my, oh my... * My head is pulsing... [Chorus, choir] * Buon appetito! * Close your mouth while chewing. * Listen to the night brewing. * The night is still young * And the morning's away. * After eating, * Let's listen to some music. * It's not gondoliers * Nor la dolce vita * But it will do. [Instrumental bridge - Ghammaz section with taqsim - 2 bars] [Ghammaz Section - non-lexical vocalizations] * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... [Verse 3] [Kirk] I still can't believe you're driving this barely functioning fiat. [Estefano] Why? You thought I drove an Alpha Romeo? [Kirk] No... I thought you were into more exciting things. Perhaps races... [Estefano] I'm not a rebel without cause if that's what you think. So? Allora, che ne dici? [Kirk] It's exquisite. Really. I could eat another, really, but I'm afraid I couldn't eat the whole myself. [Estefano] I'll help you. We can take the rest back. Giulia! Bella!... [Chorus, choir] * No speedy cars * For thee tonight * Nor Tokyo drifts * And all that stuff. * Just be good * And it'll be alright. [start fade out, slow down] [Vorspiel - 2 bars, fadeout] [Outro] * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... [end]
