Bellhop- Let me tell you something.
Hoffman-What?
Bellhop- Dino comes home from a hard-working day and meets his wife on the porch
Hoffman- You mean on Prescott Street? I used to see them there; they lived in a wooden building with a small door outside that goes to the basement; they were my neighbors.
Bellhop- This is it! he noticed that she was in a bad mood, so he asked her. " what's wrong? ", " Nothing," she replied
Hoffman- Nothing! ( laughs ), it means somethingBellhop- Yeah, he had some water, and a few minutes later, he sat by her side on the porch stairs, tousled her blond hair, and asked again: what's wrong with you? I don't like seeing you sad; where's your sweet smile? What's the matter? Don't you know I love you?
Hoffman- Only fools fall in love, and those kinds of guys are always scared to be heartbroken; he might be one of them
Bellhop- She replied: " I've made a mistake in marrying you; I just want to live alone; I don't love you anymore."
Hoffman- Damn! They lived together for ten years, and they had an eight-year-old son; only now she realizes that?
Bellhop- At first, he didn't care what she said; he thought, she must be stressed, you know what I mean, Aunt Flow!
Hoffman - I see; what about their old dream to bring up their little boy in the US as a blessed family?
Bellhop- She kept saying, she wanted to live alone, with no husband and no marriage rules.
Hoffman- Holy shit! there's something hidden.
Bellhop- She told him to leave the house as soon as possible; she didn't want any intimacy with him anymore.
Hoffman- Shit ! she asked him to move out? Why?
Bellhop- No answer; he hoped that a few days later, she would be in a better mood
Hoffman- Where would he go? It's not easy to find a place in Worcester.
Bellhop- She didn't care; he had to leave the house.
Hoffman- Damn!
Bellhop- So, he left the house and then whispered to himself, " She needs time alone."
Hoffman- I wouldn't leave the house; what about their son? He will miss his father; where did he go?
Bellhop- He took a bus to Boston, and he went to the unification church, I mean, Rev. Sun Myung Moon's church where he used to be a Moonie in 1980.
Hoffman- Stupid! As always, a religious stupid Idiot.
Bellhop- So, he spent a week there, waking up at five in the morning to be in the prayer room; he prayed for God to change his wife's mind.
Hoffman- He called his wife from the church, didn't he? I suppose, Did he?
Bellhop- Yeah, after five days of praying, he called her, but he didn't tell them that he was in a safe place; I mean, he didn't tell them he was in the Unification Church
Hoffman- So, what did he say?
Bellhop-- He told her he was wandering on the streets of Boston, begging for food and sleeping on the Bus station bench.
