-I want to work for you.

You want to work for us?

I don't have any money.

I can only pay you with my time.

I'll work for free

until my debt is paid off.

I've seen how you do it. I can do it too.

-Hello, Candy!

-Hi.

-How are things?

-Fine, and you?

Fine.

Take a look at this,

then tell me I'm not number one.

I've brought home five out of ten cases!

-Five out of ten?

-Yes.

Well done.

You can say that again!

Make sure the right person hears it!

What about the other five?

Give me a bit more time

for the other five. Three need persuading.

I'll take Angelo with me now.

You're not taking Angelo today.

You're taking him.

-Who?

-The guy in the waiting room.

-Who the f*** is he?

-A new guy. You have to train him.

-Did he say that?

-Yes.

-I'll have a word with him.

-He's not in a good mood today.

Why do I always have

to train the dumbasses?

I'm not doing it. I can spot idiots

straightaway! And that guy's an idiot!

No! I'm the best here.

Let Rolando take the idiot out.

I said no! I've got work to do.

I'm not taking him!

Let's go.

-What was your previous job?

-Warehouseman.

Warehouseman...

With that face,

you'll have lasted half an hour!

I meant before. Your real job.

-I was a computer technician.

-And?

What?

Did you get fired?

No, I resigned 'cause I always dreamed

of being a warehouseman.

I mean if they went bust

or they fired you.

The company went bust,

and we were all made redundant.

What about the warehouse?

Did that go bust too?

No, they got rid of me.

Why did they get rid of you?

Why did they get rid of you?

Are you married? Any kids?

Didn't they tell you all about me?

I'm sorry to be a nuisance to you,

but I'm not that keen

about being with you either.

So show me how to do this damn job

and no hard feelings.

-No hard feelings?

-It's just an expression.

Listen up...

Willy.

Do you know why I called you Willy?

Do you?

F***, I have to drag things out of you

with pliers.

It's easy. I ask you a question.

If you know, say yes. Otherwise, say no.

-Do you know or not?

-No.

-Didn't you watch Wile E. Coyote?

-Yes.

Wile E. Coyote thought he knew everything,

but he didn't know sh*t.

Then Road Runner came along...

The ostrich,

and he screwed him every time.

He's not an ostrich.

Then what? You a philosopher?

What do you mean?

You're in exactly the same situation

I was in eight years ago, Willy.

Except now I have a beautiful home

and a wonderful family...

and I'm a respectable person.

I'm not married, I don't have kids,

and I live on my own in a dump.

Well, fewer expenses. You'll save money.

When the firm went bankrupt,

I did a series of short-term jobs.

Short-term jobs?
