We Can Do That Page #2

Not one idea, total void.

Thank you, this also contributes

to the discussion.

Let's write "no ideas",

thank you.

- Other proposals?

- I have an idea.

As a good professional,

anything is alright with me,

but I'd like to be the manager,

if possible.

Manager, of course it's possible.

Other proposals? Mr. Goffredo.

- A co-operative of sheriffs.

- What bullshit!

It can be done.

A co-operative of sheriffs, why not?

- What is it?

- Let's buy a truck.

- I drive and they change the tires.

- It can be done.

Mr. Robby.

Thank you for your intervention,

we'll write "Robby's proposal".

Other ideas? Ms. Luisa.

My grandpa had a sawmill,

it had a nice wood smell.

Work with wood? It can be done,

I laid parquet floors as a kid.

My boss says no one's willing

to sweat in sawdust anymore,

are you?

- We are.

- I am!

- Good.

- Not me.

It's not one of my interests.

- In life, we all have to work.

- I work miracles.

The UFOs pay me

as an invalid retiree,

it comes on the 27.

Lucky you.

Who wants to work with parquet?

Hold it, that's not the way,

we can't decide by voting,

we have to ask Dr. Del Vecchio.

No, in a co-operative, the doctor

doesn't decide, the members do.

- And who are they?

- The heads of the co-operative.

All of you.

Hi member, how are you?

Members, this is our first job.

I know you'll do your best

to face this challenge.

Come on, Miriam.

- It's their first job?

- Nello will pay any damage.

- Don't you trust your sister?

- It's Nello I don't trust.

Give him a hand,

are you or aren't you a Leftist?

A parquet master will guide us,

Mr. Cicconi.

An applause.

- You're not offended, are you?

- No.

- How's he driving?

- In second gear.

He says he saw too many accidents

at the speedway.

Do I walk on this side

or that side of this machine?

Do as you like.

You've been bullshitting with me

for 14 years.

They're smarter than they look.

Rule number one:
stay on the piece.

Take the drill out,

but first turn it off!

Mr. Goffredo, we have to get clean.

- What's he doing?

- Ossi, go left.

Rule number two:
your work tool

is like your mother,

if you lose it, you're orphaned.

The laying requires delicate

gestures, like with your girlfriend.

- Aren't you working?

- No, I work miracles.

We'll need them.

Up with morale!

We made mistakes because we tried,

if you don't try, you don't make

mistakes, we learn from errors.

I don't have to learn anything,

those two made the mistakes.

In a co-operative, blame is shared.

- Why?

- Because earnings are shared too.

That's 200 thousand lire each.

- It's all ours?

- No.

One is mine.

One more room and we're done.

- You paid them yourself?

- Sure, they worked.

Wring it well, or it'll happen again.

Do you think they can ever make it?

It's worth a try, it's a nice thing.

- You'll learn a craft, you yacker.

- The coal miner has spoken.

Sorry.

Problem is, when they hear

the word "crazy", they hang up.

- Our living room...

- No, Nello.

I think parquet wouldn't look bad.

Okay.

We found two layers anyway.

So, do we put that baseboard on?

I want the gun

with the sheriff's belt!

Fire!

- In the bathroom too?

- That's what we decided.

- Sure, but not on the walls.

- They need to practice.

Mr. Ossi, how are things?

Bad, we're off the market.

It takes us 3 times longer

to lay parquet than normal workers,

if you add expenses and taxes,

we're off the market.

Good, but redoing the figuring,

you'll see it's not quite right.

He didn't do it, Del Vecchio did.

He says we can't do real work.

Why are you discouraging them?

I do all I can to motivate.

You aren't motivating them,

you're deceiving them.

They're mentally ill,

they can't even paste stamps.

But they can fool doctors,

these aren't done wrong,

they're designs,

you weren't even aware of it.

This means that

schizophrenics need symmetry?

They have capabilities,

why not make use of them?

Because as a physician I know

they can't withstand

the pressure of real work.

I manage a co-operative of work

not a hospital

and I'll treat them as workers.

You're frustrated because

the Union kicked you out,

you want to get even by deceiving

these poor mentally ill.

This thing will never work.

Then why do I have a job contract

in the center of Milan?

We have a job contract,

in the center, in Milan!

Adrianna!

Congratulations, from my father too.

To work!

I'll fill the truck tank.

When do we start on Monday?

I have to organize.

You have lots of stores,

why can't we have one?

Are you zonkers?

Give a store to the mentally ill?

You called me "dirty bourgeois" when

I wouldn't burn designer shops.

Keep your voice down.

I'm not ashamed of a thing, are you?

- What do you want?

- A job contract.

We've known each other 20 years,

what do I have to do,

lick your shoes?

Give me this store

and get it over with.

What do you think?

They're good, they did

a great job at our house.

- But I'll give them my art director.

- Padellari, can you come?

And they do everything he says,

translate to Trotzky.

What did I say?

Just so it looks like his victory.

What are you doing, member?

I'm on the piece.

Hi, members.

What's happened?

- Berlinguer died.

- Who's he?

I'm going to the funeral,

continue on your own.

You're responsible for the work site,

the laying is to be done by Thursday.

Get moving,

delivery is Thursday,

get to work

or I'll fire you all, workers.

Why are you stopping?

"Work finished 12/16/84."

What do we do?

We wait till they finish.

- We're out of wood.

- What?

- Where are Nicky Lauda and Ossi?

- I don't know.

She doesn't know.

This guy's sleeping.

You can't sleep,

you're a layer so you have to lay.

What the f*** do I lay

if there's no wood?

I need my wood, understand?

I'm the foreman and I want my wood.

If we jump

to page 26, up Tinti Street,

then we enter

at page 23B, then...

- I know the way.

- You do?

I do.

- Then, go.

- I'm off.

I want to know

where those two jerks went.

In co-operatives wrongs are shared,

we're all jerks.

- Jerk!

- You jerk!

You've left "City Streets",

these streets don't exist,

you must go back to "City Streets".

It's best to ask someone.

- I'm embarrassed, you ask.

- I can't, I'm the driver.

Let's wait till they ask us.

Good moments,

bad moments.

With no delivery, there's a fine.

My father got put in jail for a fine,

they gave him electric shock

and made sick dogs bite him.

Why did Nello's friend

have to die just now?

A meeting!

Out with ideas.

We ring all the doorbells

and ask if they have wood.

- That's bullshit.

- Don't say that.

You mustn't say that,

you say "it can be done".

He's right,

let's use the discarded wood.

Who can place all those pieces?

It would take a UFO

with 7,000 years of experience.

Delivery time met,

Congratulations.

What the f*** did you do?

The Red Brigades symbol

in Padella's store?

You want to paste stamps

all your lives?

They did it, I told them not to.
