Welcome to the North Page #2

Synopsis: Now in the Far North (i.e. Milan!), Alberto has accepted to manage a program for efficiency improvement in the Italian Post. He devotes all his time and all his energy to this noble (?) task and neglects his wife Silvia, which of course annoys her beyond limits. Things do not fare much better in Castellabate where it is rather Maria, Matta's wife, who gets on his nerves by always blaming him for his lack of ambition. One day, due to a misunderstanding, Mattia is transferred to... Milan! And on whose doorstep does he land? Alberto's of course!

There's fog, the food's awful...

- The people are cold.

- And heartless.

Thanks, you're so kind.

Don't mention it, Alberto.

You're a friend,

transfer him to Milan.

At least there he'd have you.

Calm down, it's not my office.

I'd help if I could, but how can I?

A new guy's just arrived,

I can't get rid of him.

Plus he's an "untouchable",

you know what I mean?

- You see? They're heartlss.

- You're right.

Thanks, speak soon.

Hang up.

Bye, take care.

Hi, Magonza.

Magonza, I'm the manager.

I'd like to welcome you.

You're vey kind.

- Here. Shall I help you?

- Thanks.

- Be careful!

- It's my fault.

- May I ask... how long?

- Since birth.

Are you feeling okay?

I've got a sore throat.

- Is the air con too cold?

- No.

I feel cold now.

Now I feel hot.

- I hope you'll be happy here.

- Thanks.

- That money's mine.

- Finders keepers...

- Sorry.

- No problem.

I knew it!

Ciro!

Nice.

False alarm,

there'll be no unification.

- And no part-time.

- Great!

Mattia, a surprise for you.

Transferred to Milan?

- Happy? We saved you.

- Milan's much better than Pordenone.

- You did this?

- We're your friends, we help you.

Help? You've killed me!

Who wants to go to Pordenone?

I didn't want to go.

- That's why we contacted Milan.

- I don't want to go to Milan!

I said I wanted to die

so you actually kill me?

It was just to scare Maria.

Don't you understand the mechanism?

I tell you, you tell Maria.

It's called being a grass!

So it was all a farce?

What have we done!

You can always turn it down.

How? It's an immediate transfer.

I can't say no.

- He could resign.

- No, he'd lose Maria like that!

What was that about grassing?

- I tell you, and you...

- I tell myself.

Do you know that in our working life

we waste over 2 years

greeting each other?

Do you know that since

you started working,

you have spent 1.5 years

in the toilet?

Do you think that's healthy?

No.

A perfect office is an office

that abolishes time-wasting.

Colombo,

you will be our Marchionne!

- Hope I don't disappoint you.

- You won't. Your values...

are the values of our project:

efficiency, readiness, punctuality,

energy, smiles, in one word...

E.R.P.E.S.

I know, the Italian translation

doesn't really work.

In Japanese, it's "Banzai".

- Nonsense, Erpes is great.

- Yes, great.

You have a year to pull it off.

You're the right man to spread Erpes.

Every Saturday

you'll meet various Italian offices.

- He can't.

- Why?

He promised to go

to the mountains with his wife.

- How do you know?

- Silvia told me. I'm single.

So what? I'm separated.

I'm sorry.

My wife talks and talks,

but in the end I decide.

Yeah, right.
