 "...but in the English you say, 'take your picture' and it sound like ehhhhhh -- TAKE! Like it take something FROM you. Si? A picture is something you GIVE someone so why in the English it not say, 'Hey, want to give me your picture?'" |

 "Piazza San Marco. / I know what it's called, Helen..." |

 At last... Piazza San Marco... |

 "Zia Gettare -- I am not gay." |
||
 Vivaldi leads Helen into the Campo di Meraviglia... |
||
 "“Four days will quickly steep themselves in night. Four nights will quickly dream away the time.” |
||
 "...and even if we find the Ponte Storto -- how will we know it’s the right one? Seven bridges all with the same name." |
||
 AUNT CHUCK and MARCO in a gondola with a GONDOLIER. In the Campo: HELEN and YOUNG HELEN. |
||
 "“Venice is a garden that's in the middle of the sea... the aroma of theatre hangs on the dark canals... I am plagued by happiness.” |
||
 Nick Mills as Marco and Rob Nagle as Aunt Chuck |
||
 "O Sole Mio..." |

 "When a Venetian woman places a beauty mark by the corner of her mouth it means she is ready for anything." |

||
 Nick Mills as Young Gordon and Lenne Klingaman as Young Helen |
||
 Aunt Chuck meets Young Gordon in the Campo di Meraviglia... |
||
 GORDON grabs their many bags. YOUNG HELEN suddenly throws her arms around HELEN. No words, no lingering... |
||
 Then the newlyweds are gone. |
||
 "Ciao, luggages. I am happiness to see you." |
||
 "Ran out of time. I ran out of time.” |
||
 HELEN and AUNT CHUCK stand side-by-side, listening to VIVALDI and the STREET MUSICIANS who have begun to play. HELEN and AUNT CHUCK: they are leaning on one another. |
