You know what else I did today? You, uh, planted an unusual vegetable garden in the back yard? No, silly! That you have to do in the spring. - Oh. - No, I ordered my present that's from you. P-present that's from me? What? The guitar! The Esteban Harlequin model. - Oh. - I'm so excited. It comes in two days. I didn't get to speak to Esteban on the phone, though. Well, I'm sure he's really busy, honey. Don't make fun of me. Hey, look out, though, cos Nashville, here I come! Look out, Nashville! I'll get dinner ready! We're having something new! - What is it? - Quinoa! It's like a grain, sort of like couscous, but different. I read that it came from the ancient Incas. A-And it's really good for you. Oh.

How do you say his name again? It's like Gae-tan... - It's Gaetano Bresci. - That sounds interesting. Yeah, he, um, he co-founded this anarchist newspaper here in Paterson, but it was in Italian, um, called La Questione Sociale. - La Questione Sociale. - Yeah. He was born in Italy, but he lived here. He was a weaver, an anarchist weaver. This was in the 1890s. And at that time in Italy, people were starving. When they demonstrated, this Italian general had them fired upon with, like, muskets and cannons, which, of course, resulted in a bloody massacre with, like, a hundred people dead. Was Gaetano Bresci there? No, he was here in Paterson. But when he heard that the King of Italy, King Umberto the First, decorated this fucking general for bravely defending his royal house, Gaetano Bresci went over to Italy somehow and he shot Umberto the First four times with a revolver. Whoa. Did they kill Bresci? No, they captured him and they put him on trial with, like, a famous anarchist lawyer and everything. But since there was no capital punishment in Italy at that time, like 1900, I mean... nor is there now. You can't be a member of the European Union if you practise capital punishment, of course. - Yeah, not like here. - Yeah. Anyway, they sent Gaetano Bresci to, like, this prison island where they put all the other anarchists, and after, like, a year, he was found dead in his prison cell. Murdered? Well, yeah, most likely by the guards. But, there's a possibility that he committed suicide. Whoa, Gaetano Bresci.
