Elio goes on a date with Marzia and the two have sex. Elio leaves a note for Oliver to end their silence. Oliver writes back, asking Elio to meet him at midnight.

The morning after, Elio cries about how little time he and Oliver have left together. Marzia confronts Elio after not hearing from him for three days. He responds coldly.

An upset Elio calls Oliver by his name and Oliver responds with his; Oliver also says that he remembers everything. After the call, Elio sits down by the fireplace and stares into the flames, tearfully reflecting, as his parents and staff prepare the holiday dinner.

Guadagnino was tempted to remove the scene in which Elio masturbates into a pitted peach, finding it too explicit.[25][44] Chalamet was also nervous about the scene,[45] describing it as "a metamorphosis of some of the strongest ideas in the movie" and the key to illuminating the character's "overabundant sexual energy".[29][46] Both Guadagnino and Chalamet believed it was implausible to masturbate with a peach, but each independently tested the method. To their surprise, it worked, so Guadagnino shot the scene and ultimately included it in the film.[47] A scene featuring Elio and Oliver dancing enthusiastically to The Psychedelic Furs song "Love My Way" in a small bar is not drawn from the book. It was inspired by Jonathan Demme's Something Wild (1986), and Guadagnino's experience of dancing by himself when he was young.[25][48] Ivory altered Mr. Perlman's profession from a classics scholar to "an art historian/archeologist type",[29][42] a decision that Aciman described as "perfect" and "more visual, [...] more exciting, as opposed to what a scholar does at his desk".[42]

As a fatherless kid I was often teased for having "bad blood" and in my 60's that became true. Initially, I thought the horde of freckles creeping up my feet and legs was just another old-age thing, but when they appeared where the sun don't shine, I decided to seek a medical opinion. Along with the zillions of freckles (purpura), I had more bruises than normal but being a klutz, I gave them no thought. Upon hearing the doctors and nurses discuss calling for an ambulance, I said a prayer for that poor soul. Then they came into my room and identified me as having a horrendously long named, life threatening bleeding disorder where my immune system destroyed my platelets faster than they could be made. Next, they explained that those freckles were pools of blood leaking from my veins...What?! They actually plotted a safe route to the hospital, ordered me to not go home, not buy a magazine, not stop for lunch, not hit a pothole, not get in an accident, and try not to sneeze! Yet I felt fine.


The account thus states the amount for which the ward's property was sold, but fails to reveal that part of this money was in the possession of petitioner and not deposited in the bank. If petitioner knew at the time he filed his final account in March, 1949, that the money had not been deposited in the bank, his defense to the charge of commingling, that he did not know the money had not been deposited until after the report of the referee in August, 1949, could not be true. If it is not true, and petitioner knew that the money had not [39 Cal. 2d 170] been deposited, Count Two is supported by the evidence, for it was petitioner's duty to disclose in his final account that he was the debtor for the amount entered under "Accounts Receivable." (See Civ. Code, 2228, 2229, 2233; Bone v. Hayes, 154 Cal. 759, 766 [99 P. 172].) On the other hand, assuming, as we did under Count One, that petitioner was telling the truth when he told the administrative committee that he "assumed always that the deposit had been made," fn. 3 the evidence again supports Count Two. If the money had been deposited, it should have appeared in the account under "Total Cash" deposited in the bank. What then could petitioner have meant by his entry of $1,788.02 under "Accounts Receivable"? When pressed for an explanation before the administrative committee, he stated, "I thought that the difference represented by that account receivable was a difference that had probably occurred in the transmission of monies from the general account of the guardian to the trustee account of Mrs. Gosman [the nurse who cared for the ward]." This explanation is unacceptable since the slightest investigation would have revealed that the money was not in Mrs. Gosman's trustee account. If petitioner had lost track of the money, it was his duty to reveal that fact to the court. The entry of $1,788.02 under "Accounts Receivable," however, would naturally mislead the court into believing that that sum was due to the estate from some unnamed debtor, such as money due from the sale of the ward's property. We cannot escape the conclusion that the entry was made to make the books balance and conceal the fact that petitioner's gross negligence had caused him to lose track of a large sum of his ward's money. fn. 4 The finding of the board under Count Two thus has adequate support in the evidence. [39 Cal. 2d 171]


[18] The finding of the board is clearly supported by the evidence. Petitioner testified that "I am not attempting to exculpate myself for being negligent, but I don't think it was gross negligence." We disagree. The money from the real estate transaction might never have been discovered without the investigation. Petitioner admitted that he completely lost track of the money for "about three and a half years." Petitioner justified his conduct by testifying, "I know previously I have been asked if it didn't strike me as rather peculiar that my account should be $1,800, or any amount, less than what it ought to be, but, you see, I have never personally handled the matters of deposit of my monies or keeping of records. Always that has been done by somebody else, and I am not an accountant and didn't presume to carry in my mind how much money the estate was supposed to have on hand. It is probably careless of me to have done that, but nevertheless that is the way the matter came to pass." [19] A guardian may properly employ an accountant to perform acts involving professional skills not possessed by the guardian, but he may not delegate all responsibility. (See Purdy v. Johnson, supra; Scott on Trusts, 171.2, 172.) Petitioner had the duty to make a reasonable check on the entries in the final account as prepared by the accountant. [39 Cal. 2d 174] The account contains his statement that he had read the account and that the statements therein were either true to his own knowledge or that upon information and belief he believed them to be true. But the account, described under Count Two, above, was confused and incoherent. His submission of the account to the court, without any attempt to ascertain if it had revealed the true state of affairs, significantly demonstrates petitioner's general conception of his professional obligations. "The purpose of keeping proper books of account, vouchers, receipts, and checks is to be prepared to make proof of the honesty and fair dealing of attorneys when their actions are called into question, whether in litigation with their clients or in disciplinary proceedings and it is a part of their duty which accompanies the relation of attorney and client. The failure to keep proper books ... is in itself a suspicious circumstance." (Matter of O'Neill, 228 App.Div. 518, 520 [240 N.Y.S. 183]; see Bruns v. State Bar, 18 Cal. 2d 667, 672 [117 P.2d 327].) In filing an incomplete, inaccurate, and misleading account petitioner was guilty of gross negligence in the performance of his duties as guardian and as an attorney. 2ff7e9595c
