Scusami...

EXPLICIT SEX and ADULT LANGUAGE

Maya apologizes to Jack for the way she broke up with him. She also calls Carina, just wanting to
hear her lover's voice: the problem is, that Andrew is at Carina's condo, experiencing a mental health crisis.

JACK

When Captain Bishop summons Jack Gibson into her office to begin the new shift, he expects a much different result than he gets: "I apologize, Jack. The way that I treated you is inexcusable. You said once that *I'm sorry* is a good start, but I find that inadequate in this case. I could have handled our break-up differently than I did. If you aren't able to forgive me, I'm willing to
transfer to 23, so that you won't have to see me every shift. I'd offer to move to B shift, but we'd still be in the same house. Please tell me what you'd like me to do, to make amends, and I'll do it."

"Don't fuck it up with Carina-that's how you thank me."

"JESUS, Jack...that's it? No rant, or lash-out? You can call me a cold, uncaring, bringing up the Olympics every other sentence BITCH if you want..."

"You've apologized, My-I can't afford to lose family-I'm short on that as it is. We're good."

"OK...thank you for being so good about everything. Now I just have to make Carina understand."

"Start with I'm sorry...you're on a roll."

CARINA

"Hello"

"Ciao, amore mio"

"Maya...we agreed to give me space, and also time-Hai Accettato-you agreed."

"I'm sorry...I couldn't keep my agreement. I love you and I just wanted to hear your voice. I also wanted to say that my therapy with Dr. Diane is going so well, and I'm realizing some hard truths about what I went through as a young girl and Woman, and how my anger toward my Mom for not standing up to my Dad was maybe misguided. I went to see her, Carina. She explained that she just wasn't strong enough to say anything against him-he hit her years ago, which my brother than I didn't know..."

"Sorry, sorry to interrupt--Andrew is here, and he's in crisis. I'm glad for you, I am. Call back if you like; Andrew's awake and I need to go. I love you too. I'm not there, Bella. Not yet. I'll say keep up the good work--I really have to go-sto andando."

"Okay...alright...good luck with your brother, and thanks for wishing me well. I love you; 'bye."

ANDREW

"Sto esplodendo Carina!" (I'm blowing up)

"Calmati, Andrea. Respirazione profonda (Calm yourself, Andrew. Deep breathing)

Andrew, struggling for calm, says "Okay...okay..."

"Venire, Fratellino...siediti con me" (Come Little Brother-sit with me). They stretch out on her big sofa, with Andrew as the 'little spoon', although he's a head taller and many pounds heavier than she. She sings softly to him, stroking his wild mane of hair:

Riposa amore mio (Sleep My love)
Dormire in pace (Sleep In peace)
Quando ti svegli (When you awake)
Le cose saranno più luminose (Things will be brighter)

Drifting off in the comfort of his loving sibling's arms, Andrew murmurs: "Ti adoro sorella Maggiore"(I adore you, Big Sister).

A kiss on the top of his head from his sorella maggiore: "E io tu" (And I you).

JACK GIBSON

A surprise knock on their door interrupts Andrea and Robert, who are about to engage in some afternoon delight; with a frustrated groan, Sullivan stomps to the door. "GIBSON...what's up?" he says, taken aback.
