Welcome to the North Page #3

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!

When will I get a chance

like this again?

- Never!

- Right, exactly.

Fried mozzarella,

rice croquettes, and dough balls.

- The stuffed peppers?

- Right there.

I put home-made pasta here.

And your main dishes are here.

- And here?

- Starters. I kept them separate.

- Great, that's tidier.

- Where do these go?

- All those woollen jumpers?

- It's cold in Milan.

- In August?

- It might not be summer there.

- Are the seasons different?

- The Po Valley...

They're rich, they work hard

and rush around.

And if you fall,

they'll tread right over you.

- Why would I fall?

- Because they rush around!

And if you get ill,

they'll let you die.

- Why would I get ill?

- Like she said, because it's cold!

Sorry, I was distracted.

And anyway, going to the north

isn't that bad.

My brother left 15 years ago

and never came back.

- Did he settle there?

- He died.

But remember...

Alberto came here to the south

with lots of prejudices too,

and they were all nonsense.

Those about the south are nonsense,

those about the north are true.

- Come off it, mom!

- You come off it!

Go easy, mom.

It won't close!

Daddy'll teach you

how to hit the ball with your head.

Yes, because daddy has a hard head.

I want to stay with you and our kid.

- Give me some hope.

- You need to grow up.

Grow up!

I've prepared a list

of Milanese words.

Good morning is "smagattelot".

Enjoy your meal is

"Nassabinicutanne".

Milk soup is...

I can't ask for that in Milan!

Come on!

I prepared this surprise

for you, look!

Anti-fog jacket, this'll be handy

in Milan because it's foggy

and you risk getting run over.

- Have a good journey!

- Bye, thanks.

Mattia, look what I've brought you!

- Inter FC and Milan FC.

- So you'll blend in there.

Like a chameleon.

- I'll miss you.

- Mattia!

Don't go, don't go up north!

Mom, take iteasy.

Don't wory,

Alberto is a true friend.

Let's hope so.

Mattia, don't go!

Don't go!

Where are you heading?

- Milan.

- Sweet Jesus!

- Hello?

- Have you arrived?

- I'm still in Salerno.

- Put your wool jumper on!

- Let me getto Caserta!

- Put it on, it's cold in Milan.

But it's boiling now.

- Hello?

- You didn't call to say you arrived!

- I haven't yet.

- Okay.

I put my wool jumper on,

I did!

Hello? He didn't even answer!

I sent Chicco

to sleep at his grandma's!

Alpine soldier, we're all alone!

Won't you ask me

what we're celebrating?

I know perfectly well...

We are celebrating our...

No, I know! Your...

Whose is it?

What are we celebrating?

- What is it?

- The house in the mountains!

I found it! There's even

a leopard-skin fireplace.

I signed a year contract

before we lost the chance.
