♪♪♪ -Um, I don't know if you've noticed, but -- -There's no Internet connection.

-Hm.

-Only fig trees in the garden where you can sit and... read books, drink wine.

-I have children.

I have a job that I love.

I'm not that young girl out of university chasing wars.

-You are exactly the same to me.

-Yeah, because I haven't had the chance to become anything else.

Believe me, within a year, you'd be affectionately thumping my ass and asking me to warm the milk for your coffee.

-How dare you?

I would never ask for milk in my coffee.

-[ Laughs ] -I need water.

I need water.

-[ Sighs ] [ Cellphone beeps, vibrates ] -Anna?
