Are you gonna come for me?

Guest

Yeah.

Oh, my G... Oh, my God.

Guest

Hello?

Hey! The gays invited us to Palermo.

Guest

What?

We're gonna go on their yacht.

Guest

We're gonna spend two

nights at Quentin's palazzo.

Guest

He said he might

even throw me a party.

Guest

You're gonna need to

bring some cute things.

Guest

Do you have any cute things?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

Guest

You sure?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, actually.

Guest

We're leaving right

after breakfast, so...

come on, get over here.

Okay.

Bye.

Guest

Harper?

Guest

What is this?

You tell me.

Guest

Where did you get it from?

I found it yesterday.

Scene 2

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

Where?

Guest

Okay, look, it's

not what you think.

Guest

I haven't done anything. Okay?

It wasn't me.

It was him. I swear to God.

Uh...

Guest

He had sex on the couch?

Staff

In here?

Guest

Mm-hmm.

Guest

With who?

With these...

Guest

with these Italian girls

that we met at the bar.

Guest

They were... you know,

they were hookers.

Yeah.

Guest

You met two hookers at the

Guest

bar, and brought them back

Guest

to our room, and Cameron

Guest

had sex with them on the couch?

Guest

I can't remember 'cause,

like, I was wasted, but...

Guest

What were you doing?

Guest

Were you just watching?

Guest

I was... Honestly, I

Guest

was just, like... I mean,

Guest

I... I... I was

Scene 3

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

just sitting there.

Guest

I... I... I wa... I... I

was going to bed.

Guest

They came in, and

then... I mean, I don't know.

Guest

I can't remember. I

was really out of it.

Guest

And you didn't do anything

Guest

with these hookers?

Guest

No. I didn't do

any of the sex stuff.

Guest

I mean, one of them,

Guest

like, at one point,

Guest

one of them tried to kiss me,

Guest

but I freaked out, so

nothing happened. I promise.

Okay, look, w...

we took Molly...

Guest

I mean, I know that

sounds bad, but...

Guest

Yeah, it sounds

really fucking bad.

Guest

I was gone for

Guest

one fucking night,

Guest

and you did Molly with hookers?

Staff

Yeah... But...

Guest

And I come back and find a condom wrapper on the couch?

Staff

What the fuck?

Scene 4

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

Guest

Yeah, but, look... I swear

Guest

to you, I didn't do

Guest

anything. Okay?

Staff

I'm not lying.

Guest

You already have lied to me.

Guest

No, I have not. When

Guest

have I lied to you?

Staff

I haven't lied to you.

Guest

Yes, you have!

Staff

When?

Guest

I gave you every chance yesterday to tell me

Guest

what happened, and

you fucking bullshitted me.

Guest

Well, I didn't tell

Guest

you everything, yeah,

Staff

because...

Guest

To say the least.

Guest

He begged me not

Guest

to tell anyone, okay?

Guest

I don't know. I

Guest

guess I was worried

Guest

that if I told you, then

Guest

you would talk to Daphne,

Guest

and then it would become

Staff

this whole dumb thing.

Guest

That was your worry?

Guest

I'm sorry. I fucked up. Okay?

Guest

I should've talked

Scene 5

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

to you. But...

Guest

honestly, I kind of think you

should feel good about this.

I mean, I didn't do anything.

Guest

All of that was going... Like,

Guest

under those circumstances,

Staff

and then I didn't do anything?

Guest

It just...

it sounds insane. But...

okay.

Guest

Don't make a bigger deal

out of this than it is. Please.

Staff

Please.

Guest

Okay. Okay.

Okay? I didn't do anything.

I'm not lying to you.

Okay.

You know I don't lie to you.

Okay.

Staff

Look, I'm sorry.

Guest

Mm-hmm.

Okay, I'm going to go.

Guest

Can I, uh... Can

Guest

I see you again?

I, um...

Guest

I have to hang out with

my family today, but...

I don't know, maybe...

Scene 6

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

maybe tonight?

Yes. Yes, of course.

Okay. All right.

Guest

Yeah. That was, um... That

was fun. Yeah. It was cool.

Staff

Yeah, cool.

Guest

Yeah.

Um...

Do you...

Guest

do you have my money?

Guest

Money?

It's 2,000 for overnights. Um...

Guest

Uh... I'm sorry, for what?

For me.

Guest

I'm sorry, I

thought you knew it.

I... I had no idea.

It's okay.

It's okay, it's um... It's okay.

No, I just... Sorry, I just... I...

Guest

I've never done

anything like that...

before. So, I just...

I don't know, I just...

Staff

I didn't... I...

Guest

You didn't know.

Staff

You didn't know.

Guest

I didn't know. Yeah.

Scene 7

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

It's okay. I had fun.

I like you. You're nice.

You don't have to pay for this.

No. I mean now, I feel bad.

Staff

So...

Guest

It's just,

Guest

there is a man who will

Guest

ask me for the money

Guest

and, uh, he's crazy, you know?

Staff

Um...

Guest

Okay,

Guest

I'm gonna go to the... I'll go to

the bank. I'll get the money from...

Staff

the bank, I'll...

Guest

It's okay. It's okay.

Guest

Maybe we can

still meet later, or...

Guest

You don't want to see

me again. I understand.

Staff

No, no, no. I wanna se...

Guest

I understand.

I wanna see you again.

Guest

Sure, I wanna see

you again. For sure.

I do like you.

I like you, too.

Staff

Great.

Guest

Great. Okay.

Scene 8

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

Staff

So... Yeah.

Guest

Uh...

I'm sorry. I thought you knew.

No. It's... It's my fault.

Arrivederci.

See you later. Bye.

Guest

You

Guest

know, I talked to Billy Offer

Guest

last night about getting

the marriage annulled.

Guest

How did I not see

Guest

the signs, Portia?

Guest

Do you think I'm oblivious?

No.

You know, sometimes, I think...

Guest

I should've started

Guest

that spa for poor women

with that girl from Maui.

Guest

You know, 'cause she

was like a real healer.

Guest

The real deal. But you know,

Guest

sometimes I think those

healers are a little witchy.

Hm.

Maybe she put a curse on me.

Guest

How was your

Guest

night? You have fun?

Guest

I need to go the bank. I need,

Scene 9

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

Staff

um... I need to get some euros.

Guest

Yeah, sure.

I can give you, uh, 200.

I need more than that.

Guest

For what?

Guest

For whatever. Something. I

Guest

don't know. Does it matter?

I need to go to the bank.

Guest

What?

Daph's pissed at me.

Yeah, I am.

Guest

They had their big

night without us. Uncool.

Guest

Yeah, so,

Guest

I booked a car, so we

can head out to Etna.

Guest

Check out some

Guest

of these wineries,

Guest

little day-drinking,

little wine-tasting.

Guest

Apparently, the wine

Guest

has, like, a bunch

Staff

of volcanic minerals in it.

Guest

Yeah. Healthy wine.

Guest

So, we can get drunk,

Guest

and then tomorrow our skin,

Guest

and our hair, and our

nails will be glowing.

Scene 10

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

What do you guys think?

Guest

Huh?

Guest

Yeah, sure.

If it's good with Harper.

Guest

Yeah, yeah, why not? Let's

get drunk.

Guest

Maybe we can find some

Molly and really rage.

Hmm.

Oh, no.

Guest

Scusi!

No.

Hi.

Staff

Hi.

Guest

How are you?

Well.

Guest

Uh, have you been

Guest

charging stuff to my room?

Oh, not much. Just...

just little food. Yeah.

Staff

Is it a problem?

Guest

No, no. It's not a problem.

Guest

You wanna charge a

little food, that's fine.

Staff

Thank you.

Scene 11

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

Guest

Uh, maybe, in exchange, um,

you stay away from my son.

Guest

Whatever you do,

Guest

please do not say anything

Guest

to him about, you know,

Guest

you and me. Okay?

Guest

Have you been going

Guest

in my father's room?

No.

Guest

No?

Guest

Just one time. But

we took showers.

Guest

Do not go in my father's

room. That is not cool.

You wanna hang out here? Uh...

Guest

Fine, but we can't create

a situation. Okay? Please.

Okay.

Staff

Buona giornata.

Guest

Buona giornata a te.

Staff

Oh, my God. Hey.

Guest

Hey.

Staff

Hey.

Guest

Oh.

Guest

Are you, um... are you leaving?

Guest

Uh, we're going to Palermo

for two nights. Yeah.

Guest

Um, but then we're

Scene 12

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

coming back. Yeah.

Guest

Hey, I just wanted to say,

I'm sorry for yesterday.

Guest

I was planning on hanging

out and everything. I just...

Guest

you know, couldn't

get away, and...

Staff

So...

Guest

No. Yeah, that's fine. Um.

Guest

Yeah, I saw that

you were... busy.

Yeah, I guess...

Guest

Busy. And, um, you seemed

Guest

like you got a little bit

busy yourself.

Yeah.

Yeah, well.

Guest

Seriously, though,

have a... have a nice life.

Yeah, I'll try.

And you too.

Staff

Bye, Portia.

Guest

Yeah.

Ciao.

Ciao, Isabella.

Oh. Oh. Grazie.

Staff

Ready, honey?

Scene 13

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

Guest

Yeah.

Guys.

Staff

Sorry.

Guest

Oh.

Guest

So, we will start

with our Etna Bianco.

Mm.

Guest

It is juicy on the palate,

Guest

and it has notes of plums,

and prickly pears. Oh.

Staff

Oh.

Guest

Oh. Oh.

A bit more.

Staff

Cheers, party people.

Guest

Cheers.

Staff

Cheers.

Guest

La dolce vita!

Cheers.

Guest

What's next?

Mm. Yums.

Eh, eh, eh, eh.

Guest

Did you knit your little cap?

Guest

He doesn't understand

English. Or Italian half the time.

The boat is beautiful.

Guest

But does it go any faster?

Guest

To mm a so!

Scene 14

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

Make it go faster!

Guest

He's just gonna show

me around downstairs.

Guest

Wow. I think your

Guest

nephew and Portia

Staff

are really hitting it off.

Guest

Yes.

Staff

Wow.

Guest

I think it's nice for him

Guest

to have someone of

his own age to play with.

I'm just dying to know.

Guest

How did you end up in Sicily?

Guest

My father moved

here in about 1982.

Staff

Oh.

Guest

And then when I was about 32,

Guest

the silly old sausage died,

Guest

leaving me his

Guest

rather wonderful villa

and its never-ending upkeep.

Staff

And you love it here, right?

Guest

Oh, yes.

Guest

Come on. Let me

show you the bedrooms.

They're very fucking posh.

Hey, Rocco.

Guest

Si?

Scene 15

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

Rocco. Prego.

Guest

What was your guys' favorite?

I think mine was the Eruzione.

Guest

I liked the one in

Guest

I think that glass. Which

Guest

one was that, Cam?

Guest

I don't remember,

babe. We'll buy a case.

Staff

Okay.

Guest

I have a question.

Guest

Yeah, what's your question?

Guest

Have you two ever

Guest

slept with the same girl?

Staff

What?

Guest

What?

Just curious.

Staff

Where did that come from?

Guest

Yeah.

In college, come on.

Be honest.

Guest

Well, there wasn't exactly

Guest

a lot of overlap, you know?

Different dating pools.

Guest

Really?

Guest

You never invited a girl

Guest

over to your dorm room?

Guest

Played Naked Twister?

Guest

Naked Twister?

Scene 16

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

Come on. You guys

Guest

never had one orgy?

Guest

Just tell us!

Staff

Yeah, Cam...

Guest

No.

Staff

Did you have orgies?

Guest

No, only in my dreams, honey.

Guest

Never a threesome?

Staff

No.

Guest

No, not that I recall.

Staff

Right?

Guest

Cameron would always sleep

Guest

with the girls that I liked,

but before I could get to them.

Guest

If I ever told him

Guest

that I liked a girl,

Guest

he would swoop in and have

sex with them within a week.

Staff

Oh.

Guest

Cameron. Rude.

Guest

You have a bad case of

something called mimetic desire.

Guest

If someone with higher status

Guest

than you wants something,

Guest

it means it's more likely

that you'll want it, too.

Guest

You did not have

higher status than me.

Scene 17

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

Not then, maybe.

I mean, I was smarter than you.

Guest

Maybe you thought

Guest

that fucking women

Guest

I had a connection with

would make you smarter.

Guest

You guys ever watch

Guest

each other have sex?

Staff

Oh, my God.

Guest

Me and E?

Staff

Yeah.

Guest

Harper, what is with these questions?

Guest

I mean, it was college, right?

We didn't have our own room.

So, probably.

Guest

So, I guess old

Guest

habits die hard, huh?

Guest

Mm. You guys wanna

Guest

hit up another winery or what?

Guest

Yeah!

Come on, let's go.

Welcome to Palermo.

Guest

You've never seen

a freak show like this.

Staff

Hey!

Guest

Hey.

Guest

Where have you been?

Guest

Um, he was just giving

Scene 18

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

me a tour of the cabin.

Guest

This whole time?

Mm-hmm.

Guest

You two have been

having sex on the boat.

That's what you've been doing.

No.

I'm jealous.

Guest

What happened to your head?

Guest

I banged

Guest

it on a corner of a nightstand

looking for the remote.

It's just a little scratch.

Guest

I'll feel better

after a martini.

Guest

I think I'm gonna

eat lunch at the pool.

Guest

Why not with us?

Well, that girl's over there.

The girl from last night.

Guest

You know, I... I... I don't

Guest

know how I feel about you

Guest

spending a lot of time

with those girls, Albie.

Guest

Why? What's the problem?

I think because they're escorts.

Guest

How do you know?

Scene 19

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

Well, because...

Guest

Because what?

Guest

Because I wasn't born

yesterday, and it's fairly obvious.

Guest

So what if they are?

Guest

I mean, you'll

Guest

sleep with escorts,

Staff

but then you'll judge them?

Guest

Who says I sleep with escorts?

Guest

I'm sure you've both

slept with escorts.

Guest

Albie, I... I just don't think

Guest

your mother would be happy

Guest

if she knew I was letting

Guest

you run around Sicily

with a couple of escorts.

Guest

Mom's not happy

Guest

because you cheat on her

Guest

with whoever you

can get your hands on.

Guest

And it's pretty hypocritical

that you would judge them.

I'm not judging them.

I'm just looking out for you.

Guest

They probably don't

wanna be escorts.

Guest

They're just poor and

victims of a fucked-up system.

Scene 20

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

Women aren't all saints,

Albie. They're just like us.

Have a good lunch.

Guest

Where you going?

Guest

Dad, what is the

Guest

matter with you?

I... I mean, you almost just...

Staff

Just what?

Guest

You know what.

Guest

I'm trying to smooth things

Guest

over with Albie and with everyone,

Guest

and that would,

Guest

you know... that would

really not be good.

Guest

I can't be responsible

Guest

for everything I say,

I'm concussed.

Staff

I just hit my head.

Guest

Yeah.

Oh, my God. Here, here.

I like it.

Guest

What the fuck! You told her?

Guest

You left a condom wrapper

Guest

on the fucking couch,

Guest

and she found it!

Staff

What?

Guest

Yeah!

Guest

What was I supposed to

Scene 21

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

do? She thought it was me.

Staff

Are you sure it doesn't...

Guest

I think she still does.

Staff

Oh, shit.

Guest

No.

Guest

How do you miss that?

Guest

I don't fucking

know, all right? I...

Staff

Cameron!

Guest

Sorry. I...

Coming.

Staff

Are you okay?

Guest

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Yeah. Strong as an ox.

I'm so sorry about the bag.

Staff

I tried not to over pack.

Guest

Nah, you're all right.

It's not a problem.

Guest

You got a fucking

Guest

dead body in here?

Oh, my God.

My God.

Guest

Are you kidding me?

Look at that pool.

Guest

Hey. I mean, these

are some high-end gays.

Guest

Oh, it's a good feeling

Guest

when you realize

Scene 22

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

that someone has money.

Guest

'Cause then you don't have to

worry about them wanting yours.

Staff

Mm. Must be such a relief.

Guest

It is. It is.

Guest

God, will you look at this?

Guest

Oh, my God. Don't

steal anything.

Come in. Come in.

Oh, my God.

Guest

You must have dumped

a fortune into this place.

Staff

Hey.

Guest

You all right?

Guest

Oh, yes, a

Guest

little one. I was hoping to get

Guest

some heritage subsidies

Guest

from the government,

Guest

but they said we had

to open it to the public.

Guest

So... that's not going to

happen.

Guest

Oh, yeah. You don't

want the public in here.

Guest

No. The public are not welcome,

but you are. Come. Sit, sit.

Guest

Would you like some

Guest

tea, some Moscato?

Scene 23

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

I would like a

splash of Moscato.

Now...

Guest

you know, after hearing

Guest

the story of your love life,

Guest

we decided you were like

Guest

a tragic heroine

in a Puccini opera.

I told you this.

Yeah, but...

Guest

Is that a compliment?

Staff

Oh, yes.

Guest

It is?

Guest

So, we decided

Guest

it would be very fitting

Guest

while you're here if we

took you to the opera.

Guest

And tonight they're going

Guest

to show Madame Butterfly,

which will be fantastic.

Staff

Mm.

Guest

Would you like that?

Staff

Hm?

Guest

Hm?

Staff

To the opera!

Guest

All'opera!

Guest

The opera? Sounds like a fucking

shit idea. So, I say...

Scene 24

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

That we... we ditch the gays,

Guest

I can show you around

town. Get us in trouble.

Guest

What do you reckon?

I reckon that sounds great.

Staff

You takin' the piss outta my accent?

Guest

Yeah, maybe a little.

All right, fuck these lot. Hm.

Staff

Yes, yes. Maybe.

Guest

Oh, yeah.

Staff

Yeah.

Guest

Oh, I, uh,

I went to the bank.

I have the money.

Guest

Did you like last night?

Staff

Very much. Very much so.

Guest

Hmm. So did I.

Guest

What about tonight?

Yeah, um...

I... I don't mind paying.

Guest

I just... I would feel weird

being part of some situation.

Guest

Like, if you're being

exploited by some guy.

Guest

Do... do you know... Do

Guest

you know what I mean?

Yeah.

Guest

Yeah, but, I mean, I don't

Scene 25

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

want money. I like you.

Staff

Yeah?

Guest

Yeah. Very much.

Guest

Hey!

Guest

Isabella?

Ciao, buonasera.

Buonasera.

Guest

Ah. E Rocco?

E, Rocco...

Vai.

Wow.

That is absolutely incredible.

Wow.

Guest

Can you believe it?

Guest

We're finally free,

just you and me.

Staff

Do you like arancini?

Guest

Arancini. Yeah, totally.

Staff

Nice.

Guest

What is it?

It... Fuck's sake.

Staff

It's like a rice ball.

Guest

Oh!

Staff

Yeah.

Guest

A rice ball!

I love a good rice ball.

Guest

Bet you do,

Guest

you fuckin' slag.-

Scene 26

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

Well, the best rice

balls are down here.

They're the best in the world.

Guest

You're gonna love 'em!

Staff

I sit here?

Guest

Yes. Look up.

Look up.

Wow.

Oh, my gosh.

Hey.

Guest

Who's the lady?

Guest

Is it the Queen of Sicily?

Yes.

Psst. Psst.

Here we go.

Guest

Hey, uh, I'm gonna hit the

head. I'll see you guys over there.

Staff

Sure.

Guest

Okay.

Guest

Just... just a second, okay?

Staff

So sorry.

Guest

Okay.

Come on.

Guest

You can't be giving me looks

like that in front of my wife.

Guest

I don't care. Where is my money?

I know, okay? Just...

Guest

just relax, okay?

Scene 27

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

You're gonna get your

money. I've just been busy.

It's 1,300 euros.

Thirteen hundred...

It's nothing.

Guest

Okay? I just need

to go to a bank.

Staff

All right? Just... Relax.

Guest

No. Give me your number.

Guest

No!

Staff

I want it! I want your number.

Guest

No. Jesus Christ.

Guest

I'm here with my

wife. All right? I can't.

And I can't be talking to you.

Staff

Hey.

Guest

Hey.

Staff

Sorry.

Guest

Um. Who was that?

Um...

He owes me money.

Staff

He hired you?

Guest

Yeah.

Guest

And he didn't pay you?

Guest

And, um, Alessio is

asking me for the money.

Threatening me and...

Guest

Is there anything I can do?

Scene 28

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

No, no. It's not your

problem. Really.

Staff

Okay.

Guest

Yeah.

Guest

You can't really be surprised,

Staff

can you?

Guest

By what?

Guest

Well, that he's running around

with an escort.

Guest

What do you mean?

You've normalized it for him.

Guest

Right, like you

normalized it for me.

Guest

Oh, I never ran

around with hookers.

Guest

I don't run around

with hookers either.

Guest

Dom. Didn't you run around

Guest

with that exact hooker?

You gave her the key to my room.

Guest

You know the reason I am

the way I am is because of you.

Guest

You're blaming me

for your situation? That's rich.

Guest

Do you think you

Guest

were so discrete?

Guest

Do you? I mean, how

Guest

many nights did I hear Mom

Scene 29

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

cry herself to sleep? Get real.

Everybody knew, Dad.

Everybody knew.

Staff

Everybody knew.

Guest

We had a great marriage.

Oh, my God. You are deluded.

Guest

You made her life hell

my entire childhood.

Guest

Do you have amnesia?

Guest

If I made her life hell,

Staff

why'd she stay with me?

Guest

I have no idea.

She didn't know any better.

She was a martyr. I don't know.

She loved me.

She was a bitter woman.

Guest

And she died a bitter woman,

Guest

and she knew about

everything you did. Believe me.

Guest

You were just too

self-involved to even notice that.

Yeah, and you know what, I...

Guest

I don't blame you

I sure fucking could.

Because you never...

showed me how to love a woman.

Guest

You never... showed

me how to be intimate.

Guest

You never showed me

how to put others first.

You always put yourself first.

Always. So I did the same thing.

I loved your mother.

And she loved me.

It's not that simple.

Yes, it is.

Staff

Cheers.

Guest

Cheers.

Guest

To volcanos, and all

Guest

the threesomes of past,

and...

present, and future.

Guest

I feel like you sow your

Guest

oats when you're young,

Guest

and then you just, you know,

you get it out of your system.

I don't know.

Staff

Not sure it works like that.

Guest

I know, but that's the idea.

Guest

Well, it's kinda like

Guest

food, you know?

Guest

You... gorge yourself

until you're sick.

Guest

You swear you'll never

eat another bite, and then...

few days later,

you're hungry again.

So, Harper.

Guest

You've grilled me and E

Guest

all day. What about you?

Guest

What about me?

Guest

You ever had a threesome?

Yes.

Staff

Right?

Guest

Mm-hmm.

Staff

Maybe.

Guest

Really?

Guest

With who?

Staff

Uh, with my friend Paola...

Guest

Mmm, Paola?

Staff

Mm-hmm? Oh.

Guest

And this guy Oscar.

This was in San Juan.

Guest

Were they your

Guest

cousins or something?

Very funny.

Staff

Yeah.

Guest

Okay, okay. How old were you?

Um...

I don't know. I was, um...

I was in college.

Guest

Were you a good

Guest

girl or a bad girl?

I mean, I wasn't...

I wasn't bad, but I had fun...

in college.

Guest

In college?

Guest

What, not now?

Guest

No, I mean it's just hard

to... You know, Ethan...

Guest

Ethan loves his porn, you

Guest

know? So, it's just hard to compete

Guest

with "Slutty intern gets triple banged..."

Guest

"For not listening

Guest

to her bosses."

Guest

Maybe we should

slow down on the wine.

No, let's not slow down.

Staff

Let's keep it going, right?

Guest

Yeah, fuck it.

Staff

Yeah! Why not?

Guest

Right? Why not?

Ah. Camerieri.

Okay.

Guest

Let's see what you

Guest

have. Give it a little twirl. Okay?

Perfecto.

Staff

It's okay?

Guest

What's your name?

Luca.

Staff

Luca.

My name is Harper.

Guest

Nice to meet you.

Piacere...

Grazie, Valentina.

Grazie Mille! Grazie.

Grazie, Valentina.

Guest

Grazie!

Guest

Grazie, grazie!

Let's go.

Guest

I've never eaten

so fast in my life.

Seriously, you were right.

That was the...

Best rice ball I've ever had.

Staff

Yeah?

Guest

Yeah.

Guest

Palermo's amazing. Seriously,

Guest

there's, like, so much

going on all the time.

Guest

I think there's, like, uh, a

club somewhere around here.

But, it's a bit early.

Guest

They don't really get

going until 2:00 A.M. here.

Hm.

Guest

Hey!

Guest

Oh, keep walking, keep walking,

Scene 34

keep walking.

Staff

Wait, what?

Guest

Hey!

Staff

Come on, run, run, run!

Guest

What's happening?

Guest

Go, go! Get behind

that bin there.

Guest

Wait, what?

Guest

What are we doing?

Staff

Okay, get down. Relax.

Guest

What's that? What...

Staff

You all right?

Guest

Why is he chasing us?

All right.

All right, we're good.

We're good, we're good.

Guest

Whoo!

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Guest

What just happened?

Well, I forgot my wallet.

Staff

I could've paid.

Guest

Nah.

Staff

Yeah.

Guest

Wouldn't ask you to pay. You're a lady!

Guest

How'd you run in them

things anyway? I'm impressed.

Guest

Ow, yeah. My

feet do really freaking hurt.

Do they?

Guest

Yes.

Guest

It's all right, I can lick

'em better later if you want.

Staff

Will you?

Guest

Give 'em a little massage.

Staff

Yeah?

Guest

You like that?

Thank you. Thank you.

Okay. Grazie.

Hi.

Nice.

Staff

Where'd they go?

Guest

To find cigars.

Mm.

Guest

You okay?

I think something happened.

When we were in Noto.

Guest

Like what?

Guest

I'm sure whatever

happened wasn't a big deal.

Guest

And if anything ever

did happen, you just...

Guest

do what you have to do to

make yourself feel better about it.

I have this trainer in the city.

Lawrence. He's so handsome.

Guest

He has blonde hair and

Scene 36

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

these, like, big, blue eyes.

He's really funny, too.

Guest

I spend more time with him

than Cameron sometimes.

'Cause he's so busy at work.

Guest

Such a cutie. Wanna see a pic?

Guest

This is just a

picture of your kids.

Is it? Whoopsie.

We'll find it later.

Anyway, the point is...

maybe you should get a trainer.

Guest

This is the best gelato

Staff

you can have in Taormina.

Guest

Really?

Staff

Yeah.

Guest

In just Taormina?

Guest

Um, no, I mean,

in all of Sicily.

Staff

Mm. Well, I would hope so...

Guest

Yeah.

Guest

Because it took us,

like, an hour to get it, so...

Guest

Lucia!

Oh, no.

I'll be right back. Just...

Guest

just stay here, okay?

Okay. Yeah.

Scene 37

Sorry.

Guest

Who is that?

Alessio.

Guest

Is everything okay?

Guest

I just don't want

to talk about it.

Okay.

Poor Madam Butterfly.

Seppuku.

I can relate.

Gore Vidal, who is a friend...

Guest

Actually, he used to sleep

in the room you're staying in.

Guest

He once said, "I can

Guest

understand companionship."

Guest

I can understand bought

sex in the afternoon.

Guest

"But I cannot understand

Guest

the love affair."

I'm the same.

Guest

You've never been in love?

Guest

Ever?

Once, yes.

Before I got wise.

I was young.

Staff

Who was he?

Guest

He was an American, actually.

Guest

I was... restless, and I'd

Scene 38

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

read too much beat poetry.

Guest

And I decided to go bumming

Guest

around the American West

Guest

in the hopes of

out-scandalizing my father.

Guest

And I met this young

cowboy in Wyoming.

Staff

Hm.

Guest

And I fell absolutely

head over heels for him.

Guest

And of course, he

Guest

was heterosexual

Guest

and completely uninterested,

Guest

which only added to

the torturous pleasure.

I'd have done anything for him.

Guest

And the amazing thing is

after 30 odd years, I still would.

Guest

Well, whatever happened to him?

Well, he got old.

Guest

Which, though unforgivable,

Guest

is not strictly-speaking

his fault.

No, no.

Guest

Other than the cowboy,

Guest

love's never been

my Achilles heel.

It was always beauty.

Scene 39

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

Hm. I live for beauty.

I know you do.

I do. Hm.

Guest

I'd also die for

Guest

beauty. Wouldn't you?

Hm.

A world without beauty...

Guest

is not a world I

want to live in.

Well...

Guest

you couldn't ask for a

more beautiful world...

than this.

Here's to beauty.

To beauty.

Staff

You want a fag?

Guest

Yes.

Guest

Oh, that was a wild

Guest

night, weren't it?

Guest

Can't believe you

almost got me arrested.

Guest

Thought I gave zero

Guest

fucks, but you give, like,

negative fucks.

Staff

Is that a problem?

Guest

No.

Guest

Well, you

ain't seen nothin' yet.
