So great. That ending monologue followed by one of my favourite song-endings was just epic. By the way Matt, have you read the English translation of Compagna Luna ? It seems doubtful to me that Balzerani would have been able / wanted to stick around so long and pretend to be a leftist, even up til today, if she had been a CIA plant.
