Orazio (Vol. 1) Orazio and the Isis hormone.

Esther's gift

Suddenly the door to the room opens. It is Mrs. Johnson.
She looks menacing.

Mrs. Johnson: (in a low voice) "What are you two doing?"
Orazia: "Nothing, We are getting ready to leave here."

Mrs. Johnson: I see. Are you aware of what you have done?
Orazia : "No, what are you talking about?"

Mrs. Johnson: You almost provoked a fight with the Mayoress' aide. Are you crazy?

Orazia: Nothing happened. The mayoress and that Esther wanted to take Orazio and he didn't want to go with them. That's all.
Mrs. Johnson: Well, you've come close to causing a serious incident. I'll take care of this. (To Orazio) You, come with me.

Orazio looks at Orazia without knowing what to do.

Orazia: "I'm sorry I caused trouble for you."
Orazio: "It's alright."

Orazio follows Mrs. Johnson to her study.

Mrs. Johnson takes a seat and pours herself a drink while Orazio stands trembling.

Mrs. Johnson: This is serious Orazio. (drinks)
Orazio: "Why did you call me to your study?"

Mrs. Johnson: (drinks) Are you an idiot? How could you think of offending the Mayoress in this way? She just called me very angrily. She paid a lot of money at your auction. She just wanted to spend a fun evening with you. Was that much of a sacrifice for you?
Orazio: "I'm sorry. Please, I just..."

Mrs. Johnson: (angry) And to top it all off, that gigantic creature you have for a girlfriend was about to provoke a fight. In my house!!!!!
Orazio: "(Sob) I'm sorry, it will never happen again."

Mrs. Johnson: (calms down) Stop apologising. I know you were just stupid. I have managed to calm down the Mayoress. But you have to go to her house immediately. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes right now. You'd better behave yourself.

Orazio: (nods nervously)

Mrs. Johnson: And before you go. Talk to Orazia. Tomorrow she will have to appear before the Mayoress and apologize. Hopefully with all that things will calm down and there will be no further consequences.
Orazio: "You will give me some time to prepare?"

Mrs. Johnson: No! Of course not! Go right now and talk to Orazia and as soon as you have convinced her that tomorrow she has to go to apologize, you go to the Mayoress. She has sent a car for you.
Orazio: "I'm sorry."

Orazio returns to his room where Orazia is waiting for him.

Orazia: (nervous) What did she say?
Orazio: I have to go to the Mayoress's house. Right away.
Orazia: (nervous) But -- but that's impossible. She'll kill you.
Orazio: (calm) No, don't be exaggerated. It's not going to be pleasant, but she's not going to kill me. She's the mayoress! It would be bad press.

Orazia hugs Orazio. "If she does anything bad to you I swear I'll..."
Orazia: (nervous)   I love you.
Orazio: I know you do.

Orazia kisses Orazio on the cheek and hugs him.

Orazio: There is something else...
Orazia: If this is about that bitch you're hanging around with I swear...
Orazio: No, no. But tomorrow you too will have to come to the Mayoress's house and apologize.
Orazia: (looks worried) Why?
Orazio: (sighs) Because of before. She says you were about to start a fight.
Orazia: (angry) Well I'm not apologizing because I didn't do anything wrong!
Orazio: (calm) No, of course you didn't. But I think you should apologize anyway. Mrs. Johnson told me it's a serious matter.
Orazia: (angry) Serious? It's a fucking insult to me, that's what it is! I'm not apologizing for something like this!"
