We Can Do That Page #4

Synopsis: Set in Italy in the early 1980s the film follows Nello (Claudio Bisio), the recently hired director of a newly developed work cooperative of former mental patients. After the closure of state psychiatric hospitals and asylums in Italy under the Basaglia Law many former patients were left with few resources and little hope of reintegrating into society. With the intention of actually improving the lives of his pupils, rather than just sedating them, Nello encourages them to expand their individual abilities and explore the wider world around them although, regardless of intention, there is sometimes a price to pushing boundaries too quickly. "We can do that" maintains a sometimes troubled, but ultimately unwavering faith in human nature and human potential.

I want this.

Mr. Fabio.

What's this per month?

- How much per month for that?

- One at a time.

If you make a mistake, it's a mess.

This isn't bad.

How much is it per month?

It's 850 thousand lire,

but there's a discount.

Mr. Fabio!

Excuse me,

do you work with clothes?

What?

I'd love a dress like yours,

even ripped, I can mend it.

It's out of production,

it will take time.

- What's your size?

- I don't know.

May I look?

- Convenient instalments.

- What?

- Mr. Goffredo, what are you doing?

- Taking a bath.

Hello?

Why can't they do monthly payments?

They all have pay checks.

I want to pay

in convenient monthly instalments.

I'm sorry, I can't,

we have rules.

I have a pay check,

why look at me like that?

Let's go to the snack bar,

I'll offer you all cappuccinos.

- A cappuccino from the snack bar?

- Sure.

Your head doesn't help you

nor does that nerdy face.

Give them those instalments

or I'll bust your face

and when I get out of jail,

I'll do it again.

I'm training them, my father

is the coach for the Inter team.

Pass the ball.

Goal!

By chance, would you like

to make love with me?

No, I'm sorry.

- Thanks anyway, you?

- Stop please.

It's not about competition,

we've just reduced medication.

if our products have problems let's

talk it over at the conference.

- Where?

- In Ibiza.

It's my break now,

maybe we could speak in Ibiza.

- What the f*** are you doing?

- Nothing.

You pervert.

I'm glad you're more lively

without medication,

but you can't bother

the women workers,

don't speak to a client

eight at a time

and don't stress our women members.

Poor things, they have yearnings.

I have an idea,

let's go to a disco one evening,

you meet someone

and one thing leads to another.

There are drugs in discos

and you get into accidents.

At the door, there's someone

who looks bad at you

and says:
"Go home, jerk!"

The Co-operative

has to find women for us.

Hey, hold on,

the Co-operative finds work,

you find your own women.

- And not like that.

- At least if he was kind like Drupi.

Be like Drupi... who's he?

Excuse me,

the doctor says it's good for us

to cook spaghetti,

good for us to do a wash,

to load a truck,

then it's also good for us

to make love.

Let's hear Carlo.

Let's ask the European Community

to send us women.

Great idea, good.

I'll write "EU women".

Hurrah for the new guards!

- You have a social security number?

- Are you joking?

No, I'll explain,

we're a co-operative

of mental disorders,

we have to do a course

on emotional growth.

- That means?

- Screw.

That's a word I understand.

But you need a social security

number, we have to account for it.

I'm working, get out of here.

We have 600 hours

financed at 50 thousand lire each.

Where do I get this social number?

- Comb.

- I'm done.

What are you doing?

Fabio told me

double knots are in style.

Will you lend me your aftershave?

It takes rhythm, three easy thrusts

and one strong one.

Asking her if she liked it is 'out'.

Will you lend me your aftershave?

But talking about emotions is 'in'.

Hurry up.

You start smoking today of all days?

Mr. Ossi, what are you doing?

I'm not interested in sex,

I'm going just for the company.

You've been combing your hair

for 6 hours.

Come on, Federico's waiting for us.

Will you lend me your aftershave?

Relax, you're not going to war.

Could you use third gear,

just to try it?

Do we want an accident

today of all days?

Let's sing!

Come on, some high spirits!

Who are the first two?

Me.

Are you all crazy?

Ivana is beautiful.

If you fall in love, I'll kick you.

Don't worry,

my father is a whoremonger.

Excuse me, I forgot our anniversary,

but I ordered your gift.

The gift is for Luisa,

our anniversary is in a month.

It was a surprise dinner,

tell me when you're going to be late.

You're right, but this time

I have a solid excuse,

I went whoring.

Mr. Carlo wouldn't stop,

he's 48 and had never done it,

I'd go crazy too.

- Do you know what Ossi did?

- I don't give a f***.

You play the hero,

all you talk about is you.

You didn't even ask

what we're celebrating.

Don't ask me now, please.

You're not interested if I have

my own line of sweaters,

if they're giving me an award.

It's all bullshit to you.

You save the world,

what do you care about sweaters?

May I?

Yes.

You're right,

I don't understand fashion,

I don't like it,

but it's a shortcoming of mine.

- I...

- Leave me alone.

I'm happy for your successes.

I'll come to the awards, I swear it.

I'm going to marry Berta,

we'll have a son and I'll call him

Gilles, like Villeneuve.

Who marries hookers?

Who are you?

We're the parquet guys.

I'd forgotten.

Can I sit on the terrace

with my girlfriends?

I'll bring coffee and you let me by,

what do you say?

Sure.

See you at seven.

- Did I do any damage?

- No.

Hello?

It's over!

Was that him? Who else?

Want some?

- I'm Caterina.

- Chiara.

What are your names?

He's Luca, I'm Sergio.

We're going out, see you tomorrow.

- I have to tell you something.

- What?

I'm in love with you.

We have to go,

they're waiting for us for drinks.

Listen carefully, this is our bible.

The most trendy drinks are:

Negroni, Bloody Mary and Cuba Libre,

but you have to use a slice of lime,

if you use lemon, you're nothing.

What's this girl like? Pretty?

Beautiful,

she's tall, blonde

and has a tattoo here.

You made a mistake, you don't say

"I love you" on the first day.

First you have to make her laugh,

then invite her to dinner,

you give her a ring and only then

can you declare your love.

If she says yes,

you make love tenderly,

that way, she understands

you love her.

You did well,

when a woman

hears "I love you", she melts.

I love you.

Excuse me for yesterday,

I shouldn't have said it right away,

but it just came out.

It doesn't matter, it happens,

even though not too often.

In fact, it's my first time in love.

- Would you like some milk?

- Sure.

Gigio's leaving?

His mother told him to come home

and he's packed his bags.

Do something, I can't lose a layer.

Hello,

thank you for what you've done,

but Gigio getting a big head.

In what way?

Some things are

confided only to a mother.

He wants to go out with a girl

who just wants a good time.

- How do you know? Do you know her?

- He's ill.

He's stayed a child,

my little Gigio mouse is so fragile.

- My name is Sergio, understand?

- Why are you like this?

I don't want to go home,

I want a girlfriend like Mr. Nello.

- He gets worked-up with no medicine.

- You get me worked-up.

This is my home, go away.

Go away!

Good, you're a responsible member.

But I'm not doing any more overtime,

I want to go have drinks

in the evenings.

Me too.

No, he has to do three hours

of overtime per day.

Don't violate union rights.

I don't f***ing care,

I have a company to tend to,

I have five work sites,

a baseboard to finish

and only two layers,
