He'd talk to me only on Saturday.
On weekends it was like old times.

:06:12
Eventually, Nino stopped
coming over even on Saturdays.

:06:16
I guess word got around
that he was hanging out with me.

:06:23
That's when my Aunt Yolanda
became my best friend.

:06:35
She was something, my aunt.
:06:37
She wanted to become
an actress, a movie star.

:06:40
But the famiglia
had other plans for her:

:06:45
And shortly after
they married her off...

:06:52
Don't cry, figlio mio.
Yolanda is in heaven now.

:06:57
After she died, the only thing
that brought me joy was television.

:07:02
I'd tape my favorite shows,
watch them...

:07:04
... and write down
every word of the script.

:07:10
A couple of hours a day I would forget
that I was nothing but a piece of shit.

:07:15
Unlike me, my sister
was quite popular in high school.

:07:21
Who knew all those Icesuckles
would pay off one day.

:07:28
I made it through high school
and decided it was time...

:07:31
... I tell the world a secret
that was buried inside me.

:07:34
I'm gonna be a television writer.
:07:36
My mother still refers to this as:
:07:38
The day you took 10 years off my life.
:07:40
So I went to university to study law.
:07:43
But I quit after three months
of mind-numbing boredom...

:07:46
... and found a job in the
glamorous world of corporate travel.

:07:50
A perfect occupation for a
go-getter thirsting to be abused...

:07:54
... by rich business people
and/or their assistants...

:07:56
... and/or their assistant's assistants.
:07:59
I am so sorry, sir.
I take full responsibility.
