"You were a kid, you can't remember who cleared the Chinese through customs." "Hi, tell you..." "The Americans" "And if they hadn't gotten bogged down in Vietnam... we wouldn't all be in the gutter now." "Get it?" "Nixon gave them a finger and they took the whole hand." "Same old stow." "Capitalists and arseholes." "Dismantle the Soviet Union." "Throw down the wall." "Give them Hong Kong." "11 September." "The Gulf war, Afghanistan, crisis." "You know what's new?" "How much time do I have left?" "15?" "20 years?" "I'm going to enjoy them, Nicola." "I don't want a stroke for chasing after the banks, or getting fucked around by this crooked government." "I don't get you." "Why are you so worried?" "For whom'?" "Do as I do." "A handshake with the workers, a nice emotional hug with the eldest of them, and let them all ask Obama for redundancy arrangements!" " Right?" " I don't know, but..." " But?" " I'm not giving up." "Ferrero, is it true that you bought a new two-seater car'?" "No, it's two-bedded!" " Rematch tomorrow?" " Pay the dinner first." " And your American friend?" " Yeah, you wish..." " I'll make you look good." " Yeah, like you did in the doubles." "Do you like it?" "Oh, Nicola!" "I haven't seen you come in!" " How come you're not at the office?" " If you reduce your fee by half," "I'll bring you the American." "Weren't you supposed to get a call from Germany at 9'?" "We postponed." "If they see we're in a hurry, they'll start lowering the offer." "Don't you understand that I'm out of time?" "I do, I do." "THE ENTREPRENEUR" "May I?" "Ranieri, we have examined your refinancing request." "Temporary overdraft." " Six months." " Whatever." "There aren't sufficient guaranties." "It's been a long time since you've made any relevant credits to your account." "There's no movement!" "If I may..." "Could I show you something?" "I beg your pardon." "So..." "This is an old generation photovoltaic module and this is what I want to manufacture." "It's a bet on the future!" "We never make bets!" "I read in your report that, for the time being, this product of yours is still in the experimental stage." " Of course." "And if you can't manage to industrialize this product of yours'?" "If I'm here it means that I'm certain I can." "How will you finance it?" "We can't even cover the overdraft with a mortgage." "Because your entire estate is already mortgaged." "There's no capacity." "You stated in your business plan that you're negotiating a partial sale of your holdings to a German stock exchange group." "Yes." "Zenith should take over 49%" "So, you would keep the majority." "And the management?" "Yes." "Does that worry you?" " Shouldn't it?" " Listen I've always generated profit." " Not in the last three years." "At this time you don't even have a recovery plan." "We're working on it with the Germans." "Do you believe you'll obtain 3 million euros on the basis of a gerund?" "Nicola!" "Nicola!" " Listen..." " That gentleman, your boss, told me:" ""I regard you highly." "I want to be your friend. "" "Today, he didn't even have the courage to look me in the face." " Money is the only thing that matters." " Money that you give to pigs and dogs, but you ask for a blood test from me for every euro!" " But we are a bank!" " That buys out newspapers, televisions, soccer teams..." "That finances parties, that swindles people with those bullshit shares." "The only thing that you don't do is help people that work." "Nicola, listen I'll give you an advice." "Do you want to avoid taking your books to the tribunal?" "Ask your wife, or your mother in law, to sign that refinancing request." "Go fuck yourself!" " Sir." " What?" "The city center is blocked, we'll have to take another road." " There's a student strike." " Another one'?" "Yesterday the teachers, today the students." " Who are those kids?" " Sons, nephews..." "I don't know." "It's crazy." "They've been there for 135 days." "MACHINE SHOP RANIERI" " Good day, sir." " Hurrah!" "Good day!" "All's well!" "Marvelous!" "Just ask and they'll cover you in gold." "There's our Olivieri!" "Always lying in wait." "Come with me." "Any news?" "Tell me we have the world in our hands." " Do we?" " Actually, I don't think so, sir." " Good day, sir." " And what do you think?" " I don't know." "About what?" " She doesn't know." "Close it." "So, how did it go?" " Zero." " What do you mean?" "Zero." "Actually, less than zero." "Oh, my God!" "Not even a temporary overdraft?" "Not even a handshake." "How much "oxygen" do we have left?" "Approximately 11- 12 days." "After that, we either pay or they'll present a bankruptcy petition." "I'll be over there." "This is the most melancholic time for a vineyard." " It resembles you." " Mother, please." "Did you come to ponder over your misfortunes, or to have breakfast with me." "To have breakfast with you." "And you?" "Will you carry on reading or have breakfast with me?" "I think it's beyond imagination." "He went to the bank this morning, asking for more money." " So?" " They said: "No"" " Does that make you happy?" " He's a failure, I always told you that." "His father would never find himself in a situation like this." "He always knew what to do, where to go and what to bring." " You mean bribe?" " What a trite, hideous word!" "You young people are so touchy when one talks about business." "Pride over bankruptcy, right?" "Of course!" "On the bones of your ares, with your head held up high." "By the way, is he enjoying grandfather's comfy house'?" "Mother, I did not come here to listen to you speak ill of my husband." " Who is it?" " It's Marcella." "Nice... she can play!" "Does she like music?" " Alberto, could you tell my friend I'm coming?" " Straightaway." "It's a shame that, sooner or later, this will sully your name too." " What did you say?" " That, in the end, he'll force me to intervene." "No one will ask you to intervene, don't worry." " It's become impossible to talk to you." " Maybe it's because you're always saying the same things, and you're boring me." "Look at the state of you!" "Wearing those rags!" " You weren't like that before." " Like what?" " Dowdy." " OK, I'm leaving." "By the way..." "Instead of wasting time renovating the cafe in that horrendous fashion incidentally, they all close down in the end why don't you design a nice label for my new sweet?" "Thank you, mother, I couldn't wish for anything else." " So?" " I can't stand her." " Is she still angry?" " She does not shut up." " What happened'?" "Sometimes she's right, but the way she speaks is irritating." "Now she's convinced that I dress like a bum." " That is a novelty." " As a matter of fact, I don't dress like a bum." " For once, Beatrice was right." " Marcella..." "Lately I've been going crazy, even in my judgements." " Nicola?" " It's not a great period for him." " Good day." " Good day, Gabriel." "The phone!" " Here." " Thank you." " Shall I bring your car?" " No, there's no need." "I'll be in my office 'till late." "Thank you." " Is he always that nice to you?" " Who?" " Your Romanian." "Stop it!" "Can someone tell me why we can't cash in these transfers?" "Good day, what are you doing here?" "ls there a meeting?" " No, but we heard some rumors that..." " What rumors'?" "That there's no money for the salaries, for example." "We are very worried." " Accountant!" " I'm here, sir." " I want to speak with the workers." " When'?" " Now." "The workers' council says that they heard rumors, and now they shall hear me too." " You could've warned us." "So, gentlemen, let's speak clearly." "You already know most things." "I do not like, nor do I know how, to twist words." "The contracts are scarce, the payments are always late, our warehouses are full and the banks said: "Enough!" " That's the situation." " Does that mean we're closing down?" " He's sending us away." " We're always the ones who pay in the end." " These explanations can't feed us." " There must be a solution!" "What do you want me to say?" "That everything is OK?" "Your representatives have asked me about the money for the salaries." " And?" " I don't have it." "There's no money." " How am I supposed to feed my kids?" " What will we do?" "I took over this factory from my father." "For 40 years we paid everything and everybody on time." "We never fired anybody." "I'm currently battling to save the factory and your jobs" "Even though no one gives a shit about our ecological products." "I will take this responsibility, but you must decide whose side are you on." "You want to go on strike?" "Go ahead!" "You want to give me a hand?" "Thank you." "You can stand by my side." "For those who don't fell like it, there's the door." " I cleaned the glasses." " Why'?" "They were already clean." "There was no need, Gabriel." "I know what should be done." " Do you have a concert again tonight?" " No, I'll lock myself in until morning." "I like your legs." "You scared me." "Are you spying on me?" "You're so beautiful." "Sorry." "Hard day?" "Well..." "Tell me." "Thank goodness you're always there at the end." " Why don't you let me help you then?" " I can do it, you know." " Don't worry." " For once in your life, put your pride aside." "It didn't go well at the bank'?" "Did your mother tell you that?" "She offered to be your guarantor." "I don't want your mother to be my guarantor." " But she's worried!" " About what?" "Tell your mother that we don't need her." "I need you." "Let me understand." "You stopped telling me things!" "Nicola, wait a minute." "Wait!" "Please, wait a minute." "If only you knew how much I need you." " What are they doing?" " Politicians and their friends." "Cars, escorts... in spite of the crisis." "Could you please stop at the next taxi rank." "Stop here." "Take a taxi, please, I want to drive." " From tomorrow don't come for me." " Are you firing me?" "No, don't worry." "I'll talk to Olivieri now, you'll see." "I won't fire you, don't worry." "You chose a spot where lovers meet clandestinely." "Get in." " Hi." " Hi." "What can you tell me?" "He wants me to go to Germany right away." "He expects the Germans to do what he wants, but he doesn't realise." " And you?" "I'll go." "I'll go even though it won't do any good, because they know how things are." "I told you not to throw away your money on that factory." " It's an empty box." " I didn't throw it away, I just tried to help him." "With a 10% share?" "You practically gave him a gift, but you have no power." "Go to Germany, I'll cover the expenses." " But promise me that you'll really try to do something." " I already did." "I'm doing it for you." "Please, don't start." "Why'?" "You used to like me." "Marco, lots of women like you, but I never liked you enough." " You've got nothing to lose." " What are you doing?" "Please, get out." "I don't want to be seen." " What happens if not?" " What has to happen." "Come on." "Don't worry, I won't abandon him while he's going down even though he deserves it." "The advantage of our finance company is that our mechanisms are much more agile than those of a bank." "Because we answer to no one but ourselves." " This tuna is delicious!" " Yes." "Mr Ferrero told us that your company is in urgent need of a certain amount of cash." "We can help you." "What guarantees do you require?" "A time deposit on a part of your shares." "The keys to the factory?" "The company would still be of your property." "25%?" " Are you alright, sir?" " Yes." "We're asking for 51%, but it's only proforma." "Of course!" "If I don't pay back in time, you'll devour the company." "I don't understand why you make it sound so harsh." " How should I make it sound?" " Nicola the banks hold all the other assets." "You must give them something, right?" "In exchange you'll get another 6 months of autonomy, and you can continue negotiating with the Germans without racing against time." "Compared to your finance company the bank seems like a charity." "Our clients think differently." "I think it's legalized usury." " Nicola, please!" " I'm just saying the way things are." "Your company is in grave difficulty." "It's not a secret." "Do you realise the amount of risk we're undertaking?" "If you only knew how many risks I've undertaken in these past years!" " Excuse me for a moment." " Please." "Alternatively, if your wife or a member of your family..." "I know the rest." "...Takes the role of a guarantor." " Could you excuse me for a minute?" " Please." " Who do you work for?" " Nicola, what are you saying?" " For me or those loan sharks?" " It's a finance company." "That fucks people up!" " You're obsessed!" " Oh yeah'?" "You also think I'm an idiot, like that guy does?" " I can't follow you any more." " I know, I see..." "Otherwise you'd be on a plane to Frankfurt, trying to save the company." "Instead, you're here with a guy that wants to fuck it up." "You're raving." "You've gone crazy." "Calm down." "I'll leave tomorrow, OK?" "That's it." "I like it when you're playing the part of my lawyer." "And don't come back until they sign the preliminary contract." "You think it's certain?" "I think that it's been years that we've been filling your pockets!" "First your father and then you!" "Pay your dues, arsehole!" " That gentleman will pay the bill!" " Sir..." "Miss, may I have my coat, please." "It's hard to choose." " I'll take a box of..." " Of gianduiotti." " Yes!" " Here." " Can you put it in a bag'?" " Of course." " How much is it?" " 15." " Here." " Gabriel, what are you doing?" " Absolutely not." " Absolutely yes." "Thank you." " You're embarrassing me." " I like it." " You like embarrassing me?" " No, buying you chocolates." "You are very kind." "You are very kind too." "That thing you left on my seat was very sweet." "Thank you." "I made it out of a champagne cork." "I made it for you." " You're courting me, right?" " Yes." "No... it's no good." " Why?" " Because you can't." "I have to go now." " How was the concert?" " Nice." " I'd like to see you perform sometime." " It would be a pleasure." "Thank you." " Good day, madam." " Hi." "Yes." "Aqua green." "Yes." "It's 2-3 KM from there, tops." "I'll come and get it." "We'll use mine." "Of course they'll wait for us." "See you tomorrow." "Hurray!" "Guys!" "Guys!" "Laura, I'm an absolute genius!" "I convinced him." "He'll put a mosaic in his pool." " You deserve it." " Thank you." "Beautiful!" "Pure sex... almost." " Want some?" " No, I don't feel like it now." "You know what, honey'?" "You must turn things around." "You can't depend on your husband's moods." "I know." "Either you sublimate with chocolate or you get yourself a lover." "Must I choose?" "Sport is bad for you." "Do you have a cigarette?" "No, I left them at the tobacco shop." "You know I've quit." " You know that you can go bald without nicotine?" " And impotent too." "Laugh away!" "When you start losing your hair, call me." " And you'll tell me what to do?" " No, maybe I'll just tell you to bugger off." "With due respect for your father, who would've closed down that crappy factory by now." "Are you doing it for him?" " Not for myself?" " Or for Laura?" "I haven't seen her in a while." "Do you have a lover?" "No, thank you." "I'm fine." "Never say never." "There's always a reason for a lover." "Dear Barbera, I'm going to take a cup of coffee, and maybe I'll leave one for you." "That's very kind, thank you." "Find me a cigarette." " Who's there?" " What?" "It's me." " You have a hidden number." " Oh, yes." "Sorry." " How are you?" " So-so." " You?" " I'm holding on." "I never doubted that." "I'm sorry for last night, sometimes I'm not myself." "It's not a happy moment." " It's been lasting for a long time." "I can't seem to get out of it." "Because you're doing everything on your own." "Can't we be together for a while?" "You're the only important thing I have." "Nicola, I'm always there." " You're the one that's not." " That's not true." "I spend so much time with you that I feel bad for an entire day when I behave like a jerk." "Dinner tonight?" "No, I promised Marcella I'll go to the theater with her." "I told you that." "Yes, you're right." "Forgive me." "I've completely forgotten about it." " Tomorrow?" " We'll see tomorrow." "Please." "See you tonight." "Bye." "We can't even cover a quarter of salaries with our surplus." "And then there's everything else." "Everything else can wait." " What's the word down there?" " They're convinced we won't come out of it." " And you?" " I'm..." "I'll be over there." "Hi." "Come in." "Saverio." "Take a seat." " Do you need something." " No." "I liked your speech yesterday." "You reminded me of your father." " Thank you." " No, really." "A nice speech, full of passion." "With me or against me." "In or out..." "A call to the arms." "Listen, Nicola, you can tell me." "How high has the shit piled?" "Why did you tell them you were fighting?" "It's the truth." "You know very well that we can't hold out, let alone win." "That's not true." "Nicola, I've known you ever since you were wearing short trousers." "Look here." "The one to the left of your father is me." "38 years ago." "Therefore, you can't expect me to believe your bullshit." " I don't want to send them home." " It is you who doesn't want to go." "It is you." "It's not your fault, you know'?" "The world around us is falling apart." "And we can't do anything about it.." " Good evening, Pilar." " Good evening, sir." " My wife?" " She's gone out." " She didn't take the car?" " No, she went with miss Marcella's." "Laura here, leave a message and I will call you back." "What the fuck are you doing!" "You could've killed us!" "Get out, you shit!" "Cuckold!" "Hi!" "What are you doing there at this time of night?" "I fell asleep on the sofa." " How was the show?" " Incredibly boring." "We went out at the end of the first act." "You?" " I called you." " My phone battery died." "Honey, I'm tired." "After you." "When you close the deal with Zenith, bring us the contract, and we'll evaluate if your position needs to be reconsidered." "I must pay the salaries in 20 days' time." " So?" " It's 70 families." "Listen, Ranieri, those are your workers." "They are not this bank's employees." "Let's speak clearly." "One more month certainly won't change the state of things." " And what state is that?" " That you must deal with the facts." "Your company is dead." "Too much humidity this morning." "They don't even feel the cold." "Lucky them." "When I was little, I couldn't keep the line in the water for a whole minute." "Then, one day, a fisherman told me:" ""Just keep your eyes on the float, and think about whatever you wish." "If a fish bites, consider it an extra. "" "I don't feel like going to the factory today." " What should I say to our suppliers?" " That maybe they'll find me tomorrow." " What do you mean "maybe"?" " Maybe." "Or maybe not." "We should've renovated the old plant where my father began." "We didn't have the money." "If Ferrero calls, tell him he's only got three days left." "Goodbye." "Isn't this a creative masterpiece?" "Perfect!" " How much do I owe you?" " The usual." " Hello." " Hello, I'm Mrs Ranieri's husband." " I wanted to..." " What?" "I'm Mrs Ranieri's husband, I wanted to surprise her." " I wanted to put these inside her car." " She's out." " What's that?" " That stuff?" " The Romanian makes them." " What Romanian?" " Gabriel, the other garage worker." " Does he sell them?" " Eh?" " Does he sell them?" "Who would ever buy them?" "He gives them away." "They're nice." "That's exactly it." "Mrs Ranieri, what a pleasure." " Please, take a seat." " No, thank you." "There's no need." " Was this encounter your idea?" " You're so aggressive!" "I allowed myself to suggested this encounter to your mother, because..." " I already know why." "Since we're here, let's end this once and for all." "I have no intention of buying the land bordering my mother's estate." "Did you hear that?" "No sense for business, no foresight." "Absolutely none!" "Who do you think will inherit everything, since I only have one child?" "Who, among other things, didn't even give me the pleasure of having a grandson." "Mrs Ranieri," "I beg you to consider this possibility." "The proprietor of these lands is in a very difficult financial situation." "I would rather say disastrous." "He would sell these lands at half of their value." "Explain to her why we're here." "Tell her." "Our bank is highly exposed to the seller, so we would be able to guide the sale." "So, you're trying to convince me to take part in an operation of usury, mother?" "There." "That's her logic, you see." "I would like to point out that it's not an operation of usury, but a normal financial operation, from which all three parts could benefit." "You would make a great deal, the bank could cover its credit exposure, and the seller could avoid an ugly bankruptcy." "Splendid!" "So you're actually doing charity work!" "I have no intention to buy land, let alone produce wine." " I'm an architect, mother." " If you don't invest the capital your father left you, its value will drop by half in 10 years." "My capital is mine, and I know what to do with it." "Thanks for the opportunity." "DISGRACE!" "DISGRACE!" " I'm here." " Finally you've pick up." "I'm out since morning." "I had tons of stuff to do." "I wanted to ask you about tonight." "Nicola, I don't know." "Right now I'm going to the hotel to meet with my mum." "I don't know when I'll be back." " We could have dinner later." " Couldn't we reschedule?" "You promised." "OK, but not before 21.30." " OK." " I'll call you when I'm on my way." " OK, bye." " Bye." " Hi." " Hi." "Bye." "Why are you looking at me that way'?" " Are you bothered?" " No, but..." "You have a strange face." "Have you found traffic going to your mother's hotel?" "No." "A bit..." " How is she?" " As usual." "She only speaks of money." "The richest mother in law in the whole town." "Can we change the subject, please?" " What is it?" " Can't I take your hand." "Yes, of course you can." "Can I ask you a question?" " Yes." " If I told you that I was jealous, what would you say?" "What question is that?" "I don't understand." "It's..." "Nothing." " Can I take your order?" " Just a moment, thank you." "I have to go to Nice tomorrow." "There's a Russian group that seems to be interested in the company." "I'm going away too." "I'll be away a couple of days with Marcella." "We have to lower the price on a tender." "Better than the Russians." " Can you do it?" " What do you mean?" "Can you save the company?" "You were negotiating with the Germans, where did the Russians come from?" " They're no longer communists, you know." "I'm not kidding." "What is it?" "The fact I'm giving myself another chance bothers you?" "You're always underestimating me!" "You know I never quit!" "I just want to see you as you were." "I want my Nicola who always told me everything." "I'm still the same." "No." "And I miss you." "I'm jealous." "Order me some wine, please." "Not your mother's." "It's not as bad as she is." " I need a car for a day or two." " What type?" " Medium is fine." " I need your driving license and your credit card." "Of course." "You must sign here and here." "Here you go." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "This is the room." "After you." " Will you be staying just for the night?" " Yes, I think so." " Good day." " Thank you." "Excuse me, do you have a euro to spare?" "Can you offer me a drink?" " You're a nice person." " Thank you." " I'll ask God to bless you." " Nice." "Stop playing that guitar!" " You promised me a kiss yesterday." " Yesterday, not today." " Really?" " Yes." "Let me go!" "Excuse me." "You must give me the money, understand?" "Get it wherever you want!" "You asked for a divorce!" "Go away, junkies!" "I recognize you!" "You too, dealers!" " I'll report you, bastards!" " Stinker!" " Beast!" " Why didn't you come up?" " Because it's better this way." "Are you afraid?" "Not of you." "I like you a lot, you know." "I like you too." "I can't." " Why?" " Because I'm not able to." "I can't." "I just want to keep seeing you." " I thought you were with Marcella." " Aren't you supposed to be in France?" "There was an airline strike." "I've worked whole night in the factory with Olivieri." " Do you want to have breakfast with me?" " No, I'm leaving." "Don't you have time at least for a coffee?" " Nicola..." " What?" "I'll be away for a few days." " You need to think?" " Yes." " I need to be alone for a while." " Why?" "You already know what you need to do, right?" " I can't follow what you're saying." " Look at me!" "I'm looking at you." " You're having an affair." " What are you saying?" " Answer me!" " You're hurting me!" " It's easier for you now, right?" " No, but you're helping." "Nicola!" " Hi." " He wanted to speak to you." "My son is working on a fixed-term contract, and my wife and I are helping him pay the mortgage a mortgage for a small home." "He wants to know if the factory is closing." "If it closes, the son would lose his home, and they would lose the money they've given to the bank." " Did you hear what I said the other day?" " Yes." "You decide whose side are you on." "Nicola." "You won't get far alone." "Are you working or are you spending my money on German whores as usual?" "I'm working, Nicola." " What's the situation?" " Standstill." "We're stuck." "At least they didn't back down." "No, but they know they can get a lower price if they stall." "They're not stupid and they know there's no competition knocking at the door." "I'll tell you what they have in mind." "What?" "To become the majority shareholders." "There's no doubt about it." " Out of the question." " Nicola, between zero and something, what would you choose?" "Zero?" "No." "And if someone else had made an offer?" "Did they think about that?" "I wish, but there's nobody." "And who told you that?" "Even if there is someone, you never mentioned it to me." " I'm doing it now." " Splendid!" "And who would that be?" "Would you mind telling me?" " Another foreign group." "Nicola, please, they want facts down here!" "They won't bite." "Give me 24 hours and I'll give you the facts." "In the meantime, tell them." "What am I supposed to do?" "Should I trust you?" "You should do your job." "Is it true?" " What?" " That there's another group willing to buy'?" "Of course there is." "What does Beatrice care about what you'll do with the money your father left you?" " She wants me to buy some land bordering on her estate, so she can double the production." "You know how she thinks." "More land, equals more wine, equals more money." " As if she didn't have enough already." " Exactly." " Cheers." " Cheers." " It's him." " No, no... not now." "It's him." " What is it?" " I'm sorry." " We'll talk when I get back." " Wait, don't hang up." " What else do you want, Nicola?" " I already told you." "To say I'm sorry." "I heard you." " I'm beside myself." " You should take a break." " I could learn from you." " I don't want to fight." "Me neither." "Is Marcella there?" "Yes, she's with me." " Are you leaving?" " No, I have some business to take care of." " We'll talk tomorrow." " Do you forgive me?" " Fuck!" "Pissed off or desperate?" "Neither." "Could you do me a favour?" " Would you like a pizza?" " I'm not so hungry, but..." "Laura here, leave a message and I will call you back." " Hello?" " Marcella, it's me." " Can I speak to Laura, please?" " She's asleep." " At 10 p. m.?" " She was very tired." " We're coming back early in the morning." " I tried calling her, but she rejected my call." " You know how she is." " Tell her I called her many times." " OK, goodbye." "Hi." "Even if she already knows it." "Nicola just called me." "30?" "Lift the last one." "Come on!" "Can you do it or not?" "Are you looking for these?" " Come and get them." " Run!" "Come here!" "Bastard!" "Well done!" "They stole my new car years ago." "Well done!" " Fucking junkies!" "What kind of a place is this?" "Here." "40.000 in notes of 50."
