Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Mr. Director.

Madame.

- Madame, how is Madame?

- Who's a Madame?

Madame, how is Madame?

- Who's he talking to?

- To you.

My mom's used to ma'am,

we don't use Madame here.

Sorry.

- What did I do?

- That's my place.

This has been my mug

since I was a kid.

So much, there's no need,

I always have tea, and

maybe one slice of toast.

You have to eat,

or she'll be offended.

Eat up.

Have some sausages,

the zabaglione's for me.

She makes it for me every morning

with fresh eggs.

- It's dynamite!

- I can imagine.

Eat something.

- Just to...

- Don't you like it?

It's delicious, but I don't...

A taste.

Sausage?

A little dessert?

Mom, some dessert for the Director.

- I'm really fine as is.

- Taste it.

It's good, a kind of chocolate.

Kind of, it's called blood pudding.

It's chocolate with pig's blood.

- You have to eat it.

- I got that.

Your mother's right,

it's not so hot here.

They told me

it was very hot here, but...

Camels used to bring the mail,

the director was a Bedouin.

- Are you making fun of me?

- No...

- Mattia!

- How's it goin'?

This guy?

Looks like the Michelin man.

He's joking.

He's the new director, from Milan.

- I get it.

- What?

He always gets things late.

- Buy you a coffee?

- No, I have to work.

Wait, let me introduce

two stalwart co-workers.

Little Costabile,

one of our greatest employees.

- Welcome to the famous Castellabate.

- Wait!

Big Costabile,

a senior worker, close to retirement.

Big Costabile and

Little Costabile?

It's our patron saint's name,

they're not related.

- You're from the "nor-d"?

- No, from the "north".

I don't know where "nor-d" is.

A coffee to welcome you?

Is drinking coffee all you do here?

I've had 3 already!

To work!

Bye, doll, see you later.

Hello to everyone.

Shut your mouth

or you'll be catchin' flies.

Good morning.

Maria Flagello, insured mail

and financial services.

- You're late, it's 9.

- We always open at 9.

You take life easy here.

- Would you show me my office?

- Of course.

What's the difference between

"nor-d" and "north"?

A guy tries to be polite!

I can tell right off,

this guy's a nice person,

you can see by his ears.

During office hours

let's dress appropriately.

He means me.

This guy wants us to sweat blood.

You'll see.

- Who brought Maria here?

- I don't know.

You forgot your snack.

I'm 35, and you still

bring me snacks?

Wait, take a little mozzarella.

And a piece of macaroni omelet.

In case you get hungry...

Am I leaving on a trip?

- You have a tape worm.

- When I was a kid!

Besides, if it eats the omelet,

the ham and the bread,

it's no little tape worm,
