I think the dialogue between the heroine and the proprietress is the most exciting part, far more interesting than the quarrel with the writer.

Boss lady: He is a good husband

Hostess: How do you know?

Boss lady: I ​​can see it. where are you from?

Hostess: I'm French

Madam: Where did you learn Italian?

Hostess: I lived in Italy for five years....

Boss lady: How do you speak English together?

Hostess: He's British

Boss lady: He doesn't speak your language? Can't speak Italian? He doesn't speak your language or Italian, he only speaks his own language? But you speak his language, great!

Hostess: He is not interested in language, he is not interested in anything, he only cares about himself and his work.

Boss lady: Very good. Men should love their work.

Hostess: What about us women?

Boss lady: If you are busy, just live your own life

Hostess: I didn't get married to live alone. I want husband and wife to live together. Is it hard to find a good husband?

Madam Boss: Life wasn't that hard. After all, what you complain about is that your husband works too hard, and it is better for him to be chased by work than to chase after women.

Hostess: We also have jobs, but it will be enough.

Madam Boss: It's our choice to have enough. They can't do it. They think not working is like not being able to breathe. It's impossible.

Mistress: I never asked my husband not to work

Boss lady: Of course, why ask? This way the world will stop and they don't have to put the brakes on them

......

Hostess: Don't you think everything should be balanced?

Boss lady: Ideally, this is not the case. Don't ruin your life for ideals.

Hostess: How can I put up with my husband who has been absent?

Boss lady: It's not that he's absent all the time. He made you a married woman. That's the most important thing. You'll understand when I'm my age. ...there's suspicion in your eyes, but I admire him.

Hostess: Why?

Boss lady: What do most men do on Sunday morning? Everyone is making up for sleep, and he doesn't. He takes you out for coffee, tells you stories happily, seems to be chasing you, and as long as you have a clean shave, it's perfect.

Husband and wife, how should life be? What is respect for each other? How is it different from relocation?
