Complexes (I complessi)

I've got a handkerchief... and cigarettes as well.

Maybe I should've left the umbrella at home.

But no no..it could rain.

Generally I dislike these outings...

but I had to come... that way I can speak to Gabriella.

Should I buy her a flower?

Then they'd know right away that because of me

a rose sits on her table every morning.

In just the right circumstance...

I'd ask her...to marry me.

In any case, today I need to make a decision.

I see I'm the first one here.

Now I'll look like a real fool.

Not even the driver!

I can't hide but as soon as someone gets here...

I'll pretend I just arrived.

Hey! Are you part of Ultramarket?

Yes, why?

Me too! Carloni. -Raganelli.

How come you're here so early?

Why are you?

I come from Ferentino.

The train gets there at 5:00am and continues to Rome

Where are you from? -I'm from here.. Rome.

No, I meant at Ultramarket. -Ah, Via Libia

I'm with the Director General.

For the luncheon, the Chairman wasn't able to get us into The Castle

So I saved myself 200 kilometers.

Should I buy the rose now?

Then I can put it on her seat on the bus?

This lunch is already costing us 2500 lira.

And another 1000 for the medal we're presenting the Chairman.

Of course, the medal. -Couldn't you scrape together the 1000 lira?

What do you mean? I was one of the first!

It's well deserved after 10 years of work. Poor devil!

Yeah. -Do you know if the florist is open already?

You want to to give him flowers too?

No, if anything I was thinking of his wife...

Sure, when he dies a nice wreath.

Well...oh...no!

Here they are finally!

It's 7:30, they're right on time!

Good morning Raganelli. -Miss Milani...-Carloni.

Watch out!

Sound asleep or wide awake? Let's go!

You almost killed the lady. -Oh, looks what's written on the bus...

..."Entrance Forbidden to Cuckolds." Perelli, go home!

Attention folks. Good news! "A bus...

of picknickers drove off a cliff. Twenty dead."

If something happens to us it's your fault.

In 1940 he had a hunch..

and the war broke out!

Ciao, Quirino! -Ciao, Alvaro!

Oh God, there she is!

Stay calm Quirino! Play it cool. Just one word.

And if she says no? Now I'll just walk up to her and say...

What'll I say?.. I'll say, "how lovely you are this morning!"

Hey Quirino, can you give me a cigarette?

Right now? -When then? For a Christmas present? -Of course.

Ernesto, on the bus I'd like you to put me near Gabriella.

What for, with all these beautiful girls...

Seems to me that with her you'll just strike out.

Still I'll give it a try. -Okay, I'l take care of it.

I hope the Chairman doesn't make us eat the products he sells!

Ciao! You made it after all!

Good morning. -Guys, a round of applause...

for Signora Julia! -Good morning, thank you.

Good morning Miss Gabriella.

Good morning Raganelli. -Good morning.

How lovely you are this morning. -Thank you.

Really stylish. -A real model!

It's true! -Has the lawyer arrived yet?

He's just pulling up over there.

Oh yes. If you'll excuse me.

Quirino, why are you carrying an umbrella? You want it to rain?

No, this morning when I left the sky was dark.

Good morning Chief. How are you? -Fine, fine.

Good morning all. Come on, let's go!

We've got 150km ahead of us.

Alvaro...

Is it true you're left-handed? -Why?

Then I'll take the seat on the right.

Everyone to their battle stations!

The manager is here, Garbuglia, Carloni... -Here!

Palombi... -I'm here.

Ah, they let you go! Where's Raganelli...

I'm here Ernesto. -So have a seat, okay?

Where should I sit? -I saved you a seat near Gabriella...

like you asked me. Go on, there.

Sit down! I need to see who's missing.

Yes Boss, sir.

I never told him to save me a seat near you.

If you want to change... -No. This is fine for now...

Nice! What do you mean, "for now?" -No, I said for now,

there are no more seats! -Okay then, I get it.

I'll try to disturb you as little as possible.

Oh, this is really starting off well!

Turn around Carloni! Toto's got something to say!

The other morning, I'm on the street, on via Chiai,

I meet a guy. He grabs me by the lapels,

he says, "So Don Juan, we finally meet!"

Take that Don Juan! Pum Pum..

and he gives me two powerful slaps. He lets me have it good!

But in the end I had a good laugh.

And why is that? -Because my name IS Don Juan.

Ha Ha Ha -Carloni, that's an old one!

Who knows a dirty joke? -He does.

There's two mountain climbers on their honeymoon....

If it's indecent, I don't want to hear it!

It's okay, I'm married!

Quirino, we're at the 72km mark,

and she still hasn't said a word.

I could tell her I finished second,

in the ping-pong tournament.

I can imagine how interested she'd be..

Wait a minute!

The experts write that to overcome shyness

you have to try to imagine your partner

with a chicken on their head.

How do they come up with these stupid ideas?

What a racket! -Yes. -At least you don't talk much.

In truth, I'm a man of few words.

You think a lot? -Yes, actually I think a lot.

I'm glad you noticed.

I knew it the moment you first came by our office..

so strict looking it gave me a fright.

I'm sorry to have given you that impression,

because actually, as a rule, I'm very cheerful.....inside.

Actually, I have that effect on people.

Not at all, but...

Look, you don't have to compliment me.

I prefer your type to those people over there.

Thank you. -Don't mention it.

Q uirino, you're off to a good start! You mustn't lose ground now.

Maybe I should make her laugh a little.

What if I show her that little trick they showed us at the ski resort?

Still, you need snow for that one, damn!

I wonder why I've always found men with umbrellas...

a bit ridiculous.

Yes, really. -Oh excuse me.

But it's not mine.

Perelli, is this your umbrella? -No, no.

So...let's put it over there.

If there's an owner, he'll turn up.

Come on, you guys! The biggest fool pays for drinks!

Well then Canestrini, get your money out!

No I don't drink, but I'll come out. -'Scuse me doctor!

But you'll have to tell the Chairman.

The big department stores have all opened food departments.

Why are we waiting to open a packaging department?

I wrote a letter to the Chairman on the 15th,

outlining the opportunity to carry out this plan.

But he had no idea who

I have to fight about this. Blockheads! I remember the last time...

Are you stepping down, Raganelli?

No, no I'm not. -Look, you need to understand,

I didn't understand the last part. Would you mind repeating it?

Did you forget something? -No, no, the Director...

asked my opinion about opening a new packaging department.

Really! And what do you think?

Well...it needs a lot of discussion.

A real sweetheart, she waited for me...She'd make a perfect wife.

If we marry in May, in a year I could be a father.

Papa! Papa!

Where were you? -Mind telling me where you were hiding?

Do you like kids?

Other people's not so much, but my own...

Why, you have children? -Me? No no no! You didn't know...

I'm a bachelor. -Well, one day then.

Oh yes, yes! No, no...I... -I'd also like to have them.

Well then...why don't you get married? -Like they say, for a marriage,

it takes two. -Yes...that's true.

Great! Another missed opportunity!

Girls, choose whatever you want. Alvaro's paying!

Okay I'll take Bambi. -I'll take Bambi too!

Didn't you understand? You get to choose either coffee or cappuccino.

Hey Quirino, come watch this gag.

Girls, girls, listen up... Carla!

Huh? -Last night when I took you home..

You left this in my car. -Are you sure?

Of course! -I don't think so.

I'm telling you it's yours. -I didn't forget anything!

Underwear!

The brain of a turnip!

Paoletti! Don't forget we represent Ultramarket! Is that clear?

Certainly Mr. Director!

What a beauty! I'm physically shaken by her.

I've a mind to go there and kiss her in front of everybody.

Too bad there are people around.

Hey Quirino, everything alright? -Yes...you know..

When we get to the villa I'll tell you where you can take her.

Lemme have a cigarette. -Alright...I'm almost out.

How much are these puppets? -A thousand lire.

Each? -Yes. -I think we can handle that.

If you'll allow me... -No, don't bother.

I assure you it's no bother at all.

No, it's too expensive. -Perhaps you'd prefer this one?

This smaller one is funnier.

Miss! -Oh thank you.

Like this you'll have a reminder of me.
