Question to think about: What is FRANCESCA longing for in her life? Changes, friends, love?

ROBERT Are you comfortable? (she nods) Do you... want to move to the bedroom?

(She looks at him and starts to cry, shaking her head. The room is filled with memories of her family. She nestles in his arms. He folds her. She closes her eyes.)

ROBERT (thinks, then:) How about Italy?

ROBERT How about Bari?
FRANCESCA Yes. Tell me about the day you got off the train.
ROBERT Have you ever been to that station?

ROBERT You know that little place nearby with the striped awning that sells sandwiches and little pizzas...
