So I did it, and then last year,

I'm sorry guys I have to go, I have to see someone
You want to come with me
I think you should come with me.
Pronto?
Pronto...
- Vieni - Yeah.
What is that?
They practice calcio storico
Is this sports?
Listen, calcio storico this is a very ancient game that we play here in Florence.
Soldiers from caesars use it to prepare for battle.
So how do you play?
All you have to know is to take the ball
to the other side of the field,
and throw it into the net. That makes you one point.
But if you throw it over the net,
then the other team gets half points
How do you stop the other team?
But you want to.
In renaissance,
Florentines starts compete with each other.
Leonardo DaVinci designs the ball
Now, every summer, there is a small tournament that we play between four quarters of the city.
We live in Saint Spirito, so this is our team I promise paolo to help choose them
Paolo is the person there, he is captain
And are they new players?
And that is a new player.
Hey, Gianni...
Si?
Let me play the game.
Maybe not so smart to do that.
It's easy for you to get hurt and
Anna is mad at me.
And your knee isn't so good, so it's not
I will be fine.
You won't be fine.
You're a good man, You go to a good school.
These people don't go to school.
I know, I used to play with them.
I think you said Whales and medicis are played?
It's been a long time.
Come on, those people are killed.
Well, maybe you can play a little.
Maybe it's good for them to play with real men,
not with boys
But if you get hurt I stop the game, okay?
I go talk to Paolo. Wait.
Come.
America, come.
We use you for practice.
Not bad.
- Paolo. - Eric
Ercole.
Maybe you can practice more with us?
I have a better idea.
Let me join your team.
You can use me.
No, americano, This game is only for Italians.
Only for people who live here.
I live here now.
- With my cousin, Gianni. - It is true.
Is a strange idea.
Come on, practice, come on.
I love you.
I love you too.
Oh, Eric...
You know I love you.
That's everything
You love me and I love you.
That's not real life, Eric.
We don't know what will happen.
I know you can do it Great things if you choose.
But I don't think are ready to settle.
How can you tell me what? I am ready to...
I'm ready for this.
You give NFL a shot and that doesn't work.
You must stop dreaming and move with real life.
Law schools can wait.
You said it last year.
You say this year and maybe
You will say it 5 years from now, I don't know.
I see what lives From hand to mouth to my parents.
I can't do that I can't
I'm sorry.
It's amazing, isn't it?
Two heroic statues are made by the same artist,
only a few years apart.
But they represent a completely different vision
what kind of hero is.
I need to borrow your computer tonight
Hey, ercole...
Come on, that's enough for today.
I want you to meet someone
You do it very well.
You remember my brother, You met him at my wedding.
Ummm...
Stefania...
Do you remember me?
- No, no - no.
It's okay, I'm still a teenager,
I am growing up now.
Nice to meet you again
You too.
May I introduce you to my friend, concetta.
He doesn't speak English,
but I don't think it's necessary right?
- Ciao, amore - Ciao.
So what do you think, paolo?
Can I play?
You want to play for saint spirito
Great! Maybe it gives us chance to win
We talk about it later.
Come to our team's dinner tomorrow night.
- Ciao. - Ciao.
If you play, it will surprise everyone Maybe you live here, I leave, I will see you at home, okay?
Ahh, that's good to meet you, concetta
Welcome to our family.
I remember at the wedding,
you are talking moving to Rome
Yes.
But I still can't afford it.
Anna lives in this country to be with me,
and years later,
we are still alive in my mother's place
It's embarrassing.
Just like our economy, disgrace.
I struggle every day for a few Euros more.
What do I get?
Come on, "euro," what is a euro?
This is deutschmark, what is it
- Ciao! - Hey, brother
Hey, easy.
Sorry, I have to take this
Pronto!
Ciao, ercole.
Ciao, stefania
You are not used to drink grappa
No, this is one more thing I'm getting used to it.
Sorry I'm not remember you from marriage
It's okay, really.
I don't even speak English at that time.
- You speak great now - Thank you.
I really started with that visit,
I mean learning English, and to love America.
- really - no-huh
What do you love about America?
No, I can't say this.
- You don't want to tell me - No.
Why?
- It's a shame - It can't be that bad.
- Not really! - Tell me. I want to know.
Please.
Well, this starts with you.
- me? - no-huh
I told you it was embarrassing.
It was at a wedding.
I have this teenager destroy it for you
You are really handsome,
and you have this Beautiful blonde girlfriend.
So I think you can a boxer or wrestler
I asked Gianni and he told me You are a soccer player.
So I started to follow American football
Come on, really I don't believe this story.
No, that's right. I'm serious.
Do you want to know the first English words I learned
Sure.
All right, they are "flash," "sacks," "linebacker"...
Ok, I'm such a wide receiver this is not my favorite words
I know that.
But the next one is better:
"Sweep,"
"subtraction,"
"upside down" and "tick-flashing."
These words are much better, believe me.
Have you ever played sports?
I tried.
I play soccer, but I'm bad.
Then I play volleyball, but I'm also bad
So I decided to watch it, and now I watch football,
and I like it.
And I like calcio storico.
And you love Paolo?
He's a good person.
He is really pretty and honest person
And he loves me.
He's just a little old-fashioned.
Do you know who this is?
Yes...
This is David.
Not this one.
The other.
Oh...
No.
That's you.
- that's me - Uh huh.
This is ercole.
Hercules?
Yes.
You know he has to complete 12 missions
before he can be free.
I don't know that.
Come quickly.
Wow!
We have this sky fire every year today
This is for festivals from San Giovanni,
Patron Saint of Florence.
Huh, I thought It was my honor.
Today is my birthday.
No!
Why don't you tell me?
That's perfect!
That means today start a new year for you
I am very happy to be here with you
Are you ready?
I think so.
Are you afraid?
I still remember the first time I played.
I think, "what am I doing?"
But then you see your brother, and you hear the drum.
And at that time you reach the stadium,
You know why you are here
Hey!
If you find a problem, shout for me
Thank you, americano
Stand up!
- I need substitution. - there is no substitution!
You go there and fight. Your team needs you, come on!
The girl walking in the man's house?
I am unconscious That is the Italian way.
This is not, but you are not Italian
No, look, you think You can speak better,
but actually you can't.
I think I'm fine, ok.
Hey, do you like games today?
Yes.
Paolo plays very well today.
Yes, he did it.
So do you
Thank you.
Not just one person What's important, it's a team.
And to see you Join together...
That's beautiful
And I can tell you enjoy it too
Who are you
- Very strange. - What?
You understand me well.
And I still know very little About you.
What you want know about me
Do you have a job?
Do you go to school?
- Ah, no - What are you doing?
Tell me what you are doing
I just finished at the University.
What did you learn?
Architettura.
But here in Florence, to be an architect is not possible
Everything around you is history, holy,
and you can't touch anything
And if you want to build something new,
You have to go somewhere else.
You can't stay here
I think now you know own way
Hey, there he is.
Yes.
Listen, what will you do tomorrow?
I want to go to uhh...
- Fiesole. - Si...
Fiesole.
- Are you not busy? - Yes.
Yes, right.
- Buona notte - Good.
Buona notte.
Hey, how do you say "metaphor"?
La metaphor
Why?
You try to impress one of the Swiss girls?
I see...
Who is this?
I can't tell you.
You are very melodramatic
Ok, fine, can I just say something?
If he's Italian, be careful
because of Italian girls like Italian cars,
they are a little more
complicated rather than made in America.
But American women are a sexier way.
I like it when you lie to me.
So are you still going to play?
Because you know that the real authorities
Close the game in the past
because it is very cruel.
They bring in the worst of the worst to play.
They don't bring in future lawyers
Well, I used to play it.
But you are no longer!
Just because my beautiful wife doesn't let me
You know, ercole, before I get married,
I used to make my own decisions.
Hey, if you want to play, I won't stop you
Hey, there's no need to be angry here
You're the only one Beautiful thing in my life.
You don't need to be angry with me.
Besides, ercole is a big boy, so you don't need her mother.
- He knows what he is doing - I know what I'm doing.
You don't know what you do!
This is the final! The game will be even worse!
And the blue team has the most thugs of all of them!
But, alright, I'm not your mother.
I am the one who has to call your mother and tell her
why are you in the hospital with a comma
Am I just winning this argument?
You know, you are very when you agree with me
I will go.
Grazie.
Are you sure do you know how to drive?
You want to race
Do you like it?
You know, it's not bad.
Oh my God, look at this.
This is my favorite place.
That makes me happy.
That makes me happy to be here with you
Me too.
But Paolo is...
My teammate
And friends.
I know.
But paolo and I have a problem before you come
We only want different things.
I don't know, That just feels wrong, you know.
I'm not his, like a Vespa.
Of course not, but...
Tomorrow, You can be here with him.
Don't be jealous.
I'm not jealous...
- Coll, co... - Colleen
Girl.
You are with him for a long time right?
Maybe it is together again.
I don't know
Well, I don't know either.
We must make a decision.
But tomorrow, we think about tomorrow
Today you are here
And you're here with me.
There are differences between Italians and Americans.
I'm sorry.
See?
Oh
Other differences I must know about
So, you take the fruit from the truck,
and you bring them to this big table where they are sold.
Now, a lot of calcio storico Players work there, right?
On the market, everyone is a friend
Everyone works really hard.
When the sun rises, the work is complete
Paolo will make sure everything is fine with you
Paolo?
Does he always work? in the market?
No.
When he was eighteen, he was a soccer player,
very good, the best in Florence.
I think he's a king.
Then he enters for a large professional team.
But that doesn't work.
What happened? Is he hurt?
Worse...
He is not good enough.
He returns home, and
Difficult, I understand.
Usually you have to be old human before your dreams die
But not for him, you know?
Yes.
However, you need to find a new _ dream, maybe a simpler one.
And try to be happy with it.
So we work together.
Pomodoro...
Ohhh.
I played for years.
And now the new rules, they say I'm too old next year
The last five years, our team lost
Against the blue team in the final
It is important for me to win.
This way, I'm always a hero here.
If I lose, I'm nothing.
Gianni says you play professional soccer
No one remembers no more.
I tried for years. Finally, no team wants me.
So I stopped.
At least you give it your best shot right?
Can it be!
That's what you say to boys.
"Oh, you're trying hard, The most important thing."
We know the difference, we are men, you and me
Trying nothing. Thinking and wanting is nothing.
The world remembers only what we do
- Hey - Hey
Do you understand?
Something about her girlfriend...
My girlfriend.
I try very hard with him.
But that's not good.
I am sorry to hear it.
You and me, Now we are brothers.
Let me give a little advice.
Be careful with whom you give your heart
Find a good American girl, a traditional girl
What's wrong with Italian girls?
You don't want an Italian girl.
Too difficult.
That keeps you awake at night.
Massimo, basta, please...
Tell the next person I can't drink anymore
Good.
Oh, this is not for you, this is for me
I need to drink because is my dear friend
has kept secret from me
No, make two dear friends.
You did not tell me you are playing calcio storico.
The only reason I know is because now
all local girls ask me if I know you
You must tell them you are me.
Tried it, it didn't work.
More important,
My friend Gianni
not telling me that he has a younger sister,
moreover he's crazy hot!
Yes, I wonder why.
Let me give you a little a little advice here, bro.
I think a lot of things will be good with chiara...
He teases me, leads me in...
And what do I get?
Niente. Zero. There isn't even a kiss.
I think I understand Italian women, but...
Ciao, ragazzi.
Hey, this is Salvatore,
people who are always too busy to come to my wife's class
I will be next to the bar, pretend I am you
- Trying to learn the future. - Learn the future?
- That's impossible. - No, the future is tense.
Oh...
Listen...
Is everything okay? Anyone causes you problems or problems?
Doesn't it matter?
No, no, nothing...
Only...
Just try to stay in our environment lately
until calcio storico is finished.
Stay with stefania, he takes care of you
What is happening?
None, nothing, Forget it.
- Sure. - Yes yes...
- I will help you learn the future. - Good.
Oh my God...
You will give me concussion again
- concussion - Yeah.
What is a concussion?
A concussion is when your head goes...
Then I experience a concussion you.
Can I ask something about audibles
- Audibles? - Uh huh.
You want to know about audibles now
- Yes. - Good.
When quarterback says, "Omaha," everyone knows what to do?
Everyone.
But what does "Omaha" mean?
"Omaha" means
it's quarterback know better games

Are you busy on purpose?
No, what are you talking about?
Come here
Gianni and I are pregnant!
Oh my God!
- Congratulations! - Thank you.
I don't even know you're trying
This is not something you say
And we took it for a moment, you know
You will be like a great mother
Do you think so?
I do
Gianni is very happy.
This is, like, everything for Italians, to be a father.
Wait a minute...
Your child will become Italian Not Americans
That must be rather strange.
No...
This is home now.
Good...
I hope I can meet you with your big stomach
You can.
Just stay
You can move to apartment with mother Gianni
What do you mean? What about you
I think we moved to Rome!
Gianni said something he was working on it
might actually come out.
- That's amazing! - I know.
We have dreamed about this forever,
I can't believe this is...
Will happen!
Hey...
Look, come here.
You need to read me on this game, okay?
If I take my first step towards you,
you release upfield
If it's far from you,
You delay, and then cut around otherwise, okay Understand?
No.
Okay, okay, take water.
I can't wait until next year,
when someone will get water for me
Why do you play calcio storico, huh?
Just like everyone else.
I play for glory.
And for girls.
Look, man,
when I play soccer,
In high school, they play because
Their parents want them.
In college, they play because they have scholarships.
And other people play for glory or for girls
or because they like to say it they are soccer players
Do you know what these people have in common?
No.
They suck.
Now the actual player...
Are people playing because they have to.
Because it's in their blood.
I play for girls.
Come on.
Signora Artusi wants to see you tomorrow
Who is he?
He is a capo calcio storico
The boss
Signora Artusi will like you to sit down
What do you know about calcio storico?
I understand tradition.
Game history, and the history of Florence.
- Where do you live? - Via dei pepi
Where are you born?
Why is that important? This was in the past.
Where are you born?
In this building.
Okay, that's not fair.
You are American
Calcio storico is for Italians, for fluorine.
I live on via dei pepi.
Maybe tomorrow I won't,
but I did it today
Today...
I'm florentine
And I will play like florentine.
You speak well.
But you speak in English.
Good.
You can go.
Don't embarrass me, mister via dei pepi
Respect the game.

Prego.
Come here, I want to show you something
- That's good. - you're stupid
Okay, this is vicolo Dell'onesta
Street honest people.
- Quite narrow. - Yeah.
Not many honest men in Florence.
But Paolo is one of them.
- So you know - Yeah.
And he will immediately find out too
Florence is fair a small town.
Good.
Is this between you and real stefania?
I don't know
Do you want to go and get some gelato?
Yes.
- That's rude - Hands down?
These are chemicals.
This is not chemistry, is biological I need a few more hands to do your justice too.
- Who are those people? - no
Are they friends with Paolo's?
No, they play for the blue team.
Just fast
Trust me.
- What? - Just run away!
Are you okay?
Yes.
So what do they say?
Ahhh...
They think you should not play calcio storico because...
Because you are American
What do you think?
I think...
You are good at this, ercole.
You have paddled before, I think?
Paolo...
Are you tired?
- No. - are you sure
I have to tell you something.
Good.
Sometimes...
Something happened...
That...
You don't expect it.
Stefania and I...
I'm sorry, man.
I'm sorry.
This is an annoying thing to do.
Yes, that's bad luck.
You are bad
I'm sorry, paolo
- I really care about him. - And I love him.
Come on.
Exit.
- Paolo... - Now.
I don't want to see you again.
Go home!
I'm sorry, this is my fault
I should have told Paolo about us before
But I don't know, maybe...
Maybe I'm just waiting for until calcio storico is finished.
I mean, after that, things will be different, right?
What do you mean?
You know what I mean.
You will go home
And...
Who knows what I'm going to do
However...
Let's enjoy today.
Being a tourist together.
Tourist, huh?
I think this is where everyone comes to heat chocolate?
Right...
But where to sit out here is three times the price.
And to hold hands,
like their lover first visit in Florence
But sometimes It's very pleasant to be a tourist.
Yes.
Let's go somewhere tomorrow
What about San gimignano?
Final calcio storico What is tomorrow.
What are you talking about?
Paolo kicked me from the team.
So you don't want to play?
Of course I want to play.
He kicked me from the team.
- This is the team. - No, this is not the team.
This is our team, This is the team of Saint Spirito.
It's easy for you to say it.
Look at you.
Always do what Other people tell you to do.
Paolo says you don't play, so you don't play
So what should I do?
Stop letting other people decide for you, Eric
Choose yourself!
Why are you here
In Italy? In Florence? Right now?
I don't know
That just happened. That just happened?
Things don't happen for no reason. That is stupid.
- That's ridiculous! - Good.
You know why I'm here, you tell me.
You have to do what your heart tells you to do...
If you know what it is.
He must complete 12 missions
before he can be free.
Ercole.
Do you fight with Paolo?
We don't fight. But he kicked me from the team.
Dirt! They can't win without you!
Come on, let's talk to him with
I don't know That's a good idea.
Hey...
Let's get ready.
I'll be back soon. We will fix this...
Fast!
If you forget your key once again, man!
Hi.
Can I enter?
Yes.
I see...
How are you doing?
Good.
Okay, I guess. How are you
I don't know...
I came 5,000 miles to say one thing...
Go home.
Home?
I know what I am like, I'm worried about a lot of things.
- I need security - Jesus, col...
What should I say?
You appear out of nowhere.
What do you expect?
I know.
I know this all becomes sudden for you
But I've been thinking about this every day
And I just really want you to go home
We can leave tomorrow.
There is a match tomorrow.
Ercole!
Uhhh...
This is Colleen.
We only talk.
Then talk.
One day you can tell about him
Look, I know you need time to adjust
You want to go to your game tomorrow, it's okay
We can talk afterwards.
I really miss you.
So, are you ready?
Hi, Gianni.
Hey, Gianni...
No problem, You need to dress.
Come on!
Gianni...
Ercole!
That...
So are you ready go home
Ten years from now, I might become a lawyer.

For paolo.
One mission is complete, ercole.
Eleven more to go.
