<\/a><\/p>\nPeel: \u00a0Hi, Lazzaro; I really loved your movie. \u00a0What was it called again?<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0“Happy as Lazzaro”…<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0Glad you’re so happy. \u00a0You look happy.<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0I’m not right now…but this guy Nico came up to me and told me not to give away the ending.<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0Oh, sorry.<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0What was the name of your movie, by the way?<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0“Peel”.<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0 That’s pretty easy. \u00a0What was your movie about?<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0So…I really love my mom and I lived with her for a long time until she died.<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0Sorry.<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0It’s ok. \u00a0So, I was kind of confused for awhile because I didn’t know what to do. \u00a0So, I went to this lawyer who did my mom’s money and he told me that I got…inherited the house.<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0That’s nice; go ahead…this is interesting.<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0So, I had to get some roommates because I still had the…what’s it called…?<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0The rent?<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0Yeah…well, something else…something that starts with an “M”. \u00a0Anyways, I found these two nice guys named “Roy” who had this real masculine body and this strange guy named “Chuck”. \u00a0Oh, he’s a Mexican guy like you, Lazzaro.<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0I’m from Italy, but that’s ok.<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0Oh, sorry. \u00a0So, they help me kind of get adjusted to things…you know, I never dated girls before. \u00a0So, I have this neighbor name Chun Ja. \u00a0She’s Asian.<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0Where’s that?<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0Have no idea. \u00a0So, anyways, they put this big party for me and it was kind of fun.<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0I never had that happen to me. \u00a0Everybody seems to laugh at me.<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0Oh, my. \u00a0So anyways, I really want to find my two brothers. \u00a0Do you have any brothers?<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0No…I don’t even know my parents.<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0God; so sorry. \u00a0So, then why are you “happy”, like the title?<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0I just like living…just like you. \u00a0That’s why those guys brought us together in this..whatever this is.<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0I like life, too! \u00a0So…well, I won’t give the ending since I end up finding my brothers and then…well, I’ll shut up.<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0I’ll try to see it; sounds real good.<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0People say I’m really innocent and have a fresh outlook on life.<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0Yeah, me too. \u00a0Life is so wondrous and beautiful in its own way.<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0Well, I’ve got to go.<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0Why?<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0The writer of this interview has to go the bathroom and then eat something.<\/p>\n
Lazzaro: \u00a0Oh, I see. \u00a0Ok, take care! \u00a0Nice to meet you, Peel. \u00a0Like your name, by the way.<\/p>\n
Peel: \u00a0I like Lazzaro better.<\/p>\n
