["The working class goes to heaven"]
Yep, the cranium
We are buying Beckenbauer
400 million
And we buy Riva
And who'll give you the money?
Lumu, we're not desperate like you
Coffee?
Do you want coffee?
How are you my love?
My love... my love
All here... the brain
In the brain there is the central headquarters it decides
Makes projects, programs and gives the go to production
They see
And the machine(?) Starts to move
Arms, legs, mouth, tongue... everything
It starts to move and...
takes up food, which is its raw material
What you talking about?
One. Time to eat...
what a discovery!
The food... goes down here is the machine that crunches it
And it's ready for exit
The same as in a factory so?
The same as in a factory! Yes, so what?
A shit... Making factory!
Shit, shit, shit! Why so early in the morning?!
No, no, listen... sorry... think about it...
imagine if it had a price!
Everyone nice and happy with their assured income... - Oh shut up-
Instead nothing... they don't know where to put it!
Shut that mouth of yours...
it pollutes water
You Arturo will be forced to eat it when you bigger
with the excuse that its good for preventing cancer
Leave him alone
What is he a boy? He's a fake... a fake
A Martian lunatic...
workers! Workers!
Do it for your student comrades
It is 8 in the morning! When you come out it will already be dark
Today for you the sunlight will not shine
You will be doing piecework... 8 hours of piecework
And you will come out old empty
Convinced you have earned yourselves a day-Wage
And instead you will have been robbed! Yes, robbed!
Of 8 hours... it's not with piecework that you have to earn more money
But with your involvement as a worker...
who sends you? Why don't you go back to university to study?
They earn more, they the owners earn 100
Workers! You are entering prison!
Today, after 8 hours of work, it will be dark
For you today the light of the sun will not shine
Workers! To split owners from union leaders
We propose a revolutionary alliance between workers and students
Between workers and students...
more money less work!
Good morning workers! The director wishes you good work
In your interest, treat the machine you have been given with love
Take care of it...
security measures suggested by the factory guarantee your safety
Your health depends on your relationship with your machine
Respect its needs...
and don't forget that a machine in condition equals a productive one
Good work!
Hey, come on... pass through...
Lulu, two new workers... for tomorrow I won't them ready to work... understood?
Menne Tarcindio... of Manfredonia...
What is it?
Municipality of Chiave what do I care what your name is?
You see... lost the rhythm...
between one ball and the other some 30 lire less...
I�m sorry, I didn't know silence...
this work even a monkey could do
So even you can do it
Lost the rhythm
Stand up! Like that you produce half - I have a prostate problem
Either you sign miss work, or I fine you or you stand up
But if I stand I have to go and piss all the time...
you want me to go and piss all the time? What the hell am I supposed to do here?
Why don't you go to the insurance? - What insurance... I either work or piss
I told them 200 times -Come on, you should be happy -The prostate maintains your heartbeat
You're losing 2 seconds on the return - Why don't you do the work leech
You didn't cut your hair? Then, as according to the security measures...
like female manual labor... you have to wear a cap
Piss off!
Workers! The unionists have called for an assembly
Go to it united and ask that they open up politically
Everything and immediately! More income, less labor!
Who pays those guys?
United against the unionists
Who pays those guys? They know everything
They're trying a "splitting" maneuver
And organized... for me, here there are spies
But why the union leader?
[More income, less work!]
They've taken me for a charity
Menne Tarcisio of Manfredonia - Menne, and the other one?
Quaranta Salvatore, born in Lecce
Massa Ludovico, known as Lulu
Lombardia, nearly Switzerland
This one is Eustaquia Narcisa.
Sit down both of you
If you also want my food take it take it because anyway I�m not hungry
I've got a split in here
Excuse me Mr. Massa, a curiosity, how do you work so fast?
It's that in the factory I get bored I break my balls
So I work, what am I supposed to do?
Listen to this concept: Life is a winning post, banner everyone on the racing-Track
We're all running here
I am a little champion in here she knows it doesn't she?
It's true
And then there are the "terroni", like this one eastern Sicily
That are all commuters they arrive in the morning already tired and I screw them on the rhythm
I was able to make 25,000 lire in a month of piecework, 25 cards
But pedaling eh! Pedaling because I concentrate
Because I am concentrated, concentrated
I have the technique for concentrating... she knows it
I fix something with my brain
I think of a bum
Her bum
There�s not much else to do here, what d'you expect
Since we have to work, let's work
Without fussing
Understood? Work! Without fussing -Yes yes
Yes I understood, but you... how old are you?
I've been working for 15 years, I worked twice with varnish...
Lulu. Lulu! We have to redo the work times
Ready? Ready.
We have to check the piecework
Boss, I�m going to smoke a cigarette
Let me see
Allow me?
14. 35.
12. 28.
12. 30.
8. 27.
12. 27.
12. 30.
10. 32.
10. 30.
Stop!
Do you want a cigarette?
Yield more no!?
Production on this machine has to increase from 115 to 320 an hour
It's only a question of rhythm come on - You are a bastard
Reason. Reason!
Bloody southerners!
If he stops the car he wastes time
Come on
You hear the noise?
If he takes the pieces while they move, he saves 3 seconds! - 3045.
Moving piece, 3 seconds...
30. - Paura does 90. 48.
3, 3 and 3 makes 9 seconds
30. 48.
Listen Lulu. You're not going to die in bed. You're going to die here. On the machine
What difference?
I'm going to smoke a cigarette boss. Yes.
So this machine has to increase production from 200 to 250 an hour, okay?
Boss!
In you opinion when do the new times come into play? - Immediately.
Who says? - The machines said it, and I decide it.
Well we're not happy with that
Before fixing new times you have to tell us how much we're pocketing
First you work, then the management decides
No no, no management. We have to discuss this immediately.
You want to increase production. Then increase our salaries as well
In any case all those who have left their work posts are fined
Look here. We're not in prison you know? You have to learn to discuss with us.
We have to discuss!
Everyone fined!
What's he doing? He's putting his hands on me!
You will end badly.
- Ass-Kisser! - I didn't invent piecework
Now I invented piecework
Sheep all of those, sheep!
They talk and talk, then at the right moment they shit themselves
They screw you those guys
Do you have a piece of land? - I don't have anything.
If I have strength I work. Only that. I don't care.
I concentrate. I think of that girls bum
[? Some sort of song in dialect]
Youngsters... Look and learn. I'm already concentrating
I'm already in another world.
Think only about the piece. Even if it there is no use. Every piece is a hole
Every hole is a piece. Just don't fall in the hole
To not fall this this hole, think of the girls bum
How to concentrate? It's all a matter of technique.
I concentrate with my brain... and think of the girls bum
A piece, a bum a piece, a bum
Piece, bum,
I think I�m an ass-Kisser -Not with me.
Why d'you say this? - An ass-Kisser is one who is a slave of his boss.
Who knows his boss?
The factory
It's not like the hairdressers
This is why I work at my shop and not at the factory
But the boss is there
And if he feel like it he will even kick you
In the factory... the boss is not there. He's got his place
Switzerland, America
L- Legastan - What?
You're ill even tonight?
It's reforming, reforming
The return of the ulcer
Tonight its ulcer, one night its headache, another it's backache
All excuses. I'm fed up.
You have to tell me now do you.
Why not?
You're never in the mood
It's three months I�ve been taking the pill... - Stop it, stop it
Stop it... you stop it.
No. I say stop.
Give it a cut... cut it, cut it
What d'you want to cut?
Where are you going now? Don't go into the living room.
I'm not going to make a mess
I told you to not go into the living room stay here
But why? Isn't there a television there also? - If you want to watch TV you can watch it here.
[He mutters incomprehensible about making love to her] -What you muttering about? What?
Yeah. You try and do it
Fake hair
Poor man... it's all real dear -No
You seem fake... fake hair - Why should I have fake hair? '
Yes and fake breasts -No it's all my own stuff dear
Fake nails... - All my own stuff, don't look for excuses
Go and visit the doctor... go... go to the doctor
What d'you mean I look for excuses, what excuses?
What d'you think, I have a machine between my legs?
I don't remember
You know what I say to you? That I only get the urge in the morning -Hm, morning
In the evening nothing, in the morning... when I go to the factory, I would even do it 3 times
But you're not there... you're in the shop
In the shop...
in the evening nothing...
I don't know... it's probably fatigue
Damn it! Don't you want to understand that to make 20 cards more each month I bust myself!
And they attack me, tease me, they question me
And I�m the one that suffers... like a dog... like a dog!
Come on... come on... - Leave it
Don't behave like this
My love
Come here my love
Workers! The three united unions call you to fight!
Against the rhythms, against politics
To fight for health and to earn more money
And to have more time to be with your children and wives
When you made 1000 pieces a day they gave you 300 lire
Now you make 3000 with the new times and the piecework has remained the same
This means for them an increase in profits of millions
Whilst for you only the prices increase
Everything is more expensive except out labor which they get for free
Piecework should be paid more! More pieces, more money!
[Another voice] less pieces, more money, less work!
Workers! Workers! Impose on the unions a revolutionary platform!
Piecework is non-Contractable! It must be abolished!
The factory is a prison, and from prison there is escape!
Lets fix our feet to the ground, our aim is to improve the piecework contract!
Let's show the owners our strength!
This is the voice of the three united unions
Everything! Today!...
you have to give us the 10,000 lire this week because we need them
No, no... I�m not giving anything -What d'you mean
I live like the shit and maintain your child
And you live with my wife and keep my child...?
No no sir, at least you help your child,
instead of that child at home who is not even your relative
And anyway his father should do that...
but the father doesn't give anything, he refuses to
He's a worker, you understand?
I can't take the boy and throw him down the toilet...
Well this I�m not interested in... sort yourself out you know...
of course I�ll sort myself out - I won't give anything
Hey! I was actually thinking about you...
come on...
why don't you confess to me that you were lying about not knowing men... eh?
Come on... a cousin in the countryside?
[Something in dialect]
Hey but you always think about the same things you eh?
Why, what d'you expect me to think about... paradise?
And why not?
It's here paradise... here is paradise... - Hey stop it...
Massa!
What you doing sir...
I�ll break him...
Slowly... slowly... the money you lose we'll give you... we'll do a collection
Massa, they want you on the phone,
it's the administration... they want you to clean the toilets...
you would have to break you spine to keep up with me! Break your spine...
you'll break your spine because I�m not doing piecework...
They'd have to break their spines to keep up with me... - Massa
The life of a man is the only one...
Think of old age... think of when you'll have
your broken spine... from arthritis... in hospital
With bronchitis... half blind and deaf...
And without a friend... - I'll break you... break you...
break your head...
make your guts spill out...
break the spine... the spine...
go... go...
What did you do? - It's nothing... nothing... what did you do?
The finger! Let me see' -What finger? No... it's nothing...
go back to work!
Massa has injured himself... stop working! \
Stop, stop... there's been an accident!
Strike! Strike! These are the presents that piecework gives you...
let's strike together...
Strike!!!
It's just a little scratch... it's nothing...
calm, calm though... let's not lose our minds... calm
Why you pulling back now eh? - I'm not pulling back, I want to reflect you understand...
assembly!!! This is the result of piecework!
You cut our times, and we cut our fingers!
Assembly!
I can to visit my son -Come in, come in
He's over there? Yes, over there.
Hello, I came to visit Armando
Did you hear about the bad news? - What happened?
What? He didn't tell you that I lost a finger
Good morning! - Good evening
Even they didn't know I had lost my finger? - We didn't know anything about it...
Armando, what you doing? - Hi daddy, I�m drawing
'Even you didn't know that daddy lost his finger? - Let me see!
Here you go! - Dear dear!!
So that guy didn't say anything? - I didn't want to worry everyone
Yes, he's right -What sort of reasoning is that?
A guy loses his finger... seems important that at least his son should know, at least... no?
The finger of a father, for the son, is always the finger of a father
Yes, but you should also have other things to worry about
Even with 9 fingers a father should have money for his son
Unless someone is interested in twisting the truth...
I�m going out
Where you going daddy?
I'm going for a moment to the branch... - Come back soon please
Shouldn't he have called him uncle? - It just comes out like that... spontaneously
Spontaneous? Brainwashing...
yeah... I�m stupid... stupid...
To be called father you have to pay... now the father is him
Grandmother... be quiet
Ginevra... can I have a word? - Stay here my dear...
don't you start! - What... no I won't do anything, who is the father?
Stay calm and stay put... - What have I done? Everything!
What have I done? What have I done? - And don't touch me
What have I done?
Don't do as you always do... don't touch me... leave me...
leave me... leave me...
I don't want to anymore... leave me... leave me...
go, go!
[Background music says "happiness"]
How is your finger my love? Eh?
Does it hurt today my love?
You went into the living room yesterday... I�ve told you many times not to go
There was a mess everywhere...
I even found ash on the ground. And me there cleaning.
There were 1,000 lire missing last night my love... - Straighten the cutlery! Aligned!
Who was it that took 1000 lire...? It's that guy that robs!
What d'you mean that guy!
You took them to give them to your wife... and she's not missing things
Eh...?
You could have just asked me eh... I couldn't find them...
straight the pepper! Straight!
Arturo saw you take them...
tidy up will you!! - Don't get angry with Arturo now
It was you my love wasn't it? Tell me the truth
Watch out that I�ll stick it in!
Christ damn-It!
Have you seen the Militina?
Have you seen the Militina
Have you seen the Militina? - No. How old are you?
- Who's seen the Militina? - Who's seen the Militina?
Repeats it! - Who's seen the military?
Hi militina! I came to visit.
Did you hear that I lost my finger?
Eh?
I even brought that book you asked me about
And also the salary bags... it says...
normal hours, 17,400 lire... - Yeah... normal hours...
Piecework... - Wait a second I�m writing piecework...
9,918... you see I�ve lost my finger?
Look here, chimpanzee Joe from Stockholm...
"chimpanzee really believes its a man"
Poor beast! - Come on them... let's check it
Holidays: 1,600-1,600
You pretending to write? - No no... I�m writing... 17,400
Then you tell me why you need this stuff... - Error... error
Listen! - Yes, what is it?
What's the food like? - Like the food in the factory
Only that at night they don't let me leave
But where do you want to go? - To the cafe'
Coffee with the comrades... by the way, do they still talk about me the comrades?
They do they do... you're still a symbol -I don't believe it
I'm an asshole... - They talk about you, they do... you're still a symbol
So they talk... they talk badly of me, because...
there is always the "but"
What is this "but"? - "But" means that...
they talk well but when the discussion is over they add a "but"
And so down to destroy... they say...
Listen. Listen... you promise you won't get pissed off like last time?
And why should I get pissed off? - I'm just asking you something... talk, talk...
how did you... I mean... how did you realize you were going crazy? '
It is others who decide when one should become mad... but...
but to tell you the truth, I arrived before them,
I fooled them... I already had my suspicions
Suspicion is like a nervous fox, sour, bitchy, villainous, reactionary
Every so often some strangeness would come out... - What strangeness was it?
At the table... when one eats...
the cutlery...
has to be all nice and straight, in line, you know, like soldiers
I was at the table, eating,
and in that moment dreaming of being in the factory
I knew that, I knew it... - You would like to know...
What the hell we produce in the factory? - This I know, I know this
Even those piece they make in their millions?
No no! I know, I know... I make these piece...
that are necessary for a motor this motor...
and this motor then ends up in another machine which isn't there, it isn't there...
ah, it's not there? - No
Imagine that one day, I met the engineer...
I grabbed him by the collar and I said
"what the hell are we making in this factory... what the hell are these shits for?"
Look I�m going to kill, I�ll kill you! - Look I�m going to call the nurse!
Be good, we're here to reason, why d'you come out with this stuff?
I reason but... heh...
if they didn't take him away I would really have strangled him
But this Lulu is not madness because a man,
a man had the right to know what he's doing
What it's for
Yes or no? Am I right?
Yes, yes. -You seem them? You see all those over there?
They were all workers, peasants...
manual laborers, builders, policemen...
lawyers, drivers, mechanics
of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, categories even of 6th, 8th and 16th
The real crazies are not here, they're hidden in private clinics...
and of course, it's understandable...
just imagine if people realized that even the rich go crazy!
It would make them cry, wouldn�t it?
They're crazy those guys, leave it alone, don't get involved
Lulu, it's the money, it all starts there...
we're part of the same group... owners and slaves
We become mad because we have too little, and they because they have too much
And so, in this hell, on this planet full
of hospitals, lunatic-Asylums...
cemeteries, factories...
barracks and buses...
The brain slowly slowly... runs away
It goes on strike... on strike... see you later
Have a nice stay -Thank you
Strike, strike, strike...
hey, where you going?
Away!
Actually it's me who has to leave... - Oh yes, I always get it wrong.
Bye!
Lulu!
When they admit you... bring weapons
Comrades. Management has suspended 6 workers
following the agitation born from your indignation...
of the accident received by Massa, victim of the work rhythms
But we will be clear to the directors and owners of the factory
That if they don't remove their suspensions we will... united, I mean united!
We will shift our struggle to a tougher level
Workers! To the violence of owners, we reply with the violence of workers!
[Another] to violence of owners, we respond with the unity of unions...
[another] who pays those guys?
Union unity! Union unity!
Down with the owners!
Always with these damn things in the ear... I have to ask for some information
Who are those who were suspended?
Me first of all... - Yeah but apart from you - De Simoni, De Antoni, Delori...
And all these guys supposedly acted the heroes because of my finger?
Yes for you. For you, for your finger...
not for your finger! For the class war!
Owners are more arrogant... - But why didn't they suspend you? Because he's a "straighty"'
They know I�m good at my work.
Owners! Bourgeoisie! Only a few months left!
Union unity! Union unity!
Good morning workers!
The director wishes you good work
In your interest, treat the machine you have been given with love
Take care of it...
security measures suggested by the factory guarantee your safety
Your health depends on your relationship with your machine
Respect its needs... and don't forget that a machine in condition equals a productive one
Good work!
Hi Piero!
Hey how�s it going?
Hey Lulu!
Finally! - I lost my finger.
From when that disgrace happened to you production has gone down 7%
7% it went down!
Here we have to do like before... we have to find that spirit of collaboration between you...
which had made our factory a jewel! A jewel! '
In which the interests of the workers and capital combined!
I say this for you, I am a worker like you'
What d'you think I get in my pockets?
We want to destroy everything for a stupid discussion on the timings of piecework
No no no, and no. I guarantee we are not going back!
For four poor guys who we suspended, we are not going back...
even if it means paying, I tell you...
you agree?
You Lulu are with us aren't you?
"Militina" says hi -Okay, and good work! - To work! To work!
Your under the average. Your rhythm is below 80
Sorry Mr. Stop-Watch, but I time myself according to my speed of masturbation
You understand?
Work "terrone" if you don't want to return to living amongst pigs -Shut up!
[Singing] love, love is beautiful!!!
[Singing in dialect]
My love my love my love...
fuck love...!
At night I sleep...
Lulu how is your finger?
[Something in dialect, possibly:] really great...
come on! Work! Work!
What shall I do? '
Leech! Obey the boss, you have to check me...
Lulu! What are you doing? Your output is very low
You have to make an effort, otherwise you'll lose the piecework (bonus). Understood?
Maybe in these few days of holiday you became rusty?
Rusted my penis!
Look here, look at this stuff, look!
What did you think leech? It's not that I can't... it's that I don't want to!
I have other thoughts in my head
But the times you're doing is like kids would do. - Kids? Yeah, kids who go to school...
Its all a fake that... what you don't think we're treated like kids who go to nursery school?
In fact, who go to the house of correction
Look that if you continue like this, not only do you lose the bonus
but you go under the average and I have to fine you
Oh yes the fine! The fine! I was forgetting about the fine!
Why don't you just fine me! Come on fine me!
But then you'll have to give me back everything
you stole from me when I worked before...
you'll have to shit everything out! Even the finger!
What is this?
A pipe
And this? - A trumpet
And this one?
A calendar, and that�s a protractor and a flower-Pot
These pens... always in disorder...
why you laughing?
Because I�m happy you see... I�m happy
How's it going with the finger? - The finger is no longer there
Do you feel less crazy?
What d'you think I care... finger more or finger less...
think about this carefully...
what does this finger make you think of? - "Luzelle"
No. The penis! - You allude to the male organ?
Just that!
If we want to follow this through... you feel that finger is as if you were castrated
Look that since the accident my rhythm has increased... I do it even 3 times a night
Listen, joking apart... what d'you think of me, what have they told you?
I have always like women... I�m normal, like all the others...
if I separated from my wife, it's because of questions of character
With Lydia, the hairdresser, she attracts me just like the first time...
we care for each other
And she's the sort of woman who would split herself into 4 piece for me.
And we even have some saved money, just imagine!
You like money? - Of course
And yet since the accident
you show clear signs of problems towards work and therefore towards money
Why? - Yes exactly, why?
[Sign: Impartial]
It's red, let yourself get searched...
But I don't rob oh come on, the "impartial" decides not us
The search Massa! Come on! - Take your hands off me!
Worker! Don't let yourself get searched! Violence in labor follows you everywhere!
...your body and you mind! - What are you saying!? What are you saying!?
They think you are the thieves, but they are the thieves!
We have to perceive where they hide their profits, created with your blood!
With your lives, with your work, don't let them search your bodies!
...and your minds!
And now where are you going? To spend your free time? And how do you spend it?
In front of the television? Or talking about football?
About Juventus... you have to phone Daniele and make decisions... eh?
Or maybe time passes and your wife come home... and what do you tell her?
Or maybe you go and work another job, because the money your boss gives you isn't enough?
Damn you! Damn you!
Why do you get angry with me?
Get angry with the directors! If you're so strong, get angry with them!
Pick on a work-Mate!
Tomorrow morning, when you go back to work, pick on a director if you're brave enough!
Comrade, come on! Come on! I'll break you!
You have to forget it!
Go to your dad go!
Join us instead of faking!
Lulu? What is this, life? This is life?
Stop it and go away! - Let him pass!
Slave, slave! 8 hours of work and on Sunday the football game! Shame!
Shame on you! You only know how to do this?
You're only capable of doing this! You're a slave and nothing else! You understand!?
So. Here until now only the negative aspect of piecework has been spoken about
But my dear comrades, the 20,000 lire of piecework... I�ll throw them in the bag
I think the piecework is important, I mean...
when we open up the bag and there�s 20,000 lire in there, what's the problem?
[General yelling] fuck off!
We're fed up of hearing good things about piecework whilst they exploit us!
We're fed up of this, let's vote!
I'm for the piecework but negotiated down to the last penny...
I mean, to obtain the maximum possible...
listen! Listen! I repeat...
for who hasn't understood, or has just arrived...
who is in favor
of the immediate abolishment of piecework raise your hand!
1, 2, 3, 4... 1212 votes, 12 votes!
One moment! One moment!
Slaves! Slaves! Slaves!
Who is for an reasoned fight that leads us to negotiate
Through a representative.
Piecework, moment by moment, situation by situation
Raise your hand!
Wait! Listen!
I propose something... this:
Who is in favor of striking to the end, raise your hand!
1, 2, 3, 4... 12
Now we vote on another proposal. Who is in favor of a reasoned action...
that beginning on Monday, for two hours a day, we strike... raise you hand!
This is the answer to provocations...
because it's the majority that decides, democratically, you understand back there?
We created these assemblies by fighting and now you sabotage them!
No, no... let him talk please...
it's you, all your fault and the piecework that I got ill!
You don't think about the conditions over there... the humidity! Go and try!
Now I�m going up to talk! - Go Massa!
I don't know what to call you...
workmen, comrades, workers... I don't know
Stop it! Come here and talk into the microphone, come here!
Just to talk for a moment... the student, the student outside said
that we come in when it's dark, and leave when it's dark
What sort of life is ours?
Whilst we're at it, why don't we double the piecework? Eh?
Then we can work on Sunday too, maybe we could work throughout the night...
actually maybe we could bring in our children and wives
We force the children to work, whilst our wives stuff a sandwich in our mouths
And we just go on and on without a break, onwards! Onwards!
Onwards for these 4 damn lire, until we die!
And so from this hell... always with no break...
we pass directly to the other hell!
Listen to me carefully Massa, you who talk so much now...
where were you when we all with the comrades of the unions
created the union in this factory, of the B.A.N.?
Eh? Answer?
Where was I? I was a piecework laborer.
I followed the politics of the unionists,
I worked for productivity, I increased output, increased it!
Hurray! You're right!
'And now? And now what have I become? I've become a beast, a beast...
you are a beast, not us!
The student outside says... he says
That we are like machines! Understood? That I am a machine!
I am a nut, I am a screw,
I am a transmission belt, I am a pump!
But for me, my pump is broken,
I don't have it anymore, and there's no way of fixing it now
I propose this:
To immediately leave work, everyone!
And who doesn't immediately leave work now, is a scoundrel!
Is a shit-Face!
Massa! Wait', listen to me...
The breaking of union unity, which with great effort we conquered... -
Re-Enters the political game that the owners play... we have to be all united
If we really want to win
An extremist and adventurist politics, would dissolve itself...
therefore try to understand! Comrade Massa!
Let's try to all understand, we have to remain united! United!
Look at the tramps how they run! They wait for the workers!
The shit-Faced workers!
Go and have fun, you who have money!
Waiting for the workers, look how they run!
How did it go? - I said what I had to... a few concepts
They're still going in those guys!
Come on! Let's go to the other side!
Losers! Fascists! Coward!
Ass-Kisser!!
At what time does this shift end? - Now! Let's go!
To the gates! To the gates!
Here we are. Look at this stuff. There's nothing here.
This was a place where I worked. Building frames.
Empty now. The owner is in prison. For fraudulent bankruptcy.
Here we are. We'll stop here, put on the heating- -But I�m cold!
Listen is it really your first time? - Well...
let's not waste time, we'll strip, put our clothes back there... \
Come on, we're well here...
but how does one do this... I�m scared -Scared? Come on...
but you'll hurt me... - No, let me guide you
You're not going to hurt me? - No, I won't do anything... come on... I won't hurt you
If I feel bad you'll help me? - Put them behind...
wait wait... I haven't taken anything off. I have to take everything off... trousers...
hey! I have a mini-Bar here!
I'm a teetotaler. I don't drink... I�m scared...
scared of what? Throw it down, throw it down!
Why are you taking your trousers off? - I'm also taking off my underwear
No, underwear no... - Everything, everything
Hold something -Yes, I�ll hold the underwear
I'm taking everything off -I want a kiss
Take this off... - No, not this...
Who knows what will happen? - No, no, you'll see that nothing will happen. It's good for you.
Now get up while turning... - But I�m hitting my head!
Look! - But it's complicated no it's not complicated...
careful with the gear-Shift! You have to only be careful with the gear.
Be very careful.
Now I just do this... - Ouch! The steering wheel!
Ouch! The gear! Listen, I�m scared -Come on!
What's there to be scared of? - Yes, but...
Look, look, only this arm here -But I�m embarrassed!
The gear!
Ouch!
Like that!
Your hurting me! - But no!
But come on... how am I hurting you? Did I hurt you just now?
Yes! You hurt me! - No, I didn't do anything
No no, wait, now you're hurting me
Calmly... - Where do I go? Wait, wait...
Ok. The leg no? The leg!
Come on, listen to me...
Put... - Where?
Where do I put it? - The foot? Yes.
If you put you foot... - Don't pull! No, come on!
I have the gear! - There! What's the problem!?
Come here. Come here!
Pass me... pass me the other foot...
lean it there...
hair... hair, hair!
How damn cold it is!
There you go, finished! Finished!
Nice. It's a year I�ve had it, but I still look at it.
Nothing to say... nice car...
you have no idea what pleasure you gave me, because...
that ugly pig over there doesn't attract me anymore!
So you see, you want to bet I finish off like militina?
I had blamed the factory... all day there... pedaling! I mean...
how? At 31 years? - I didn't feel anything
Haha... felt nothing!
I just feel pain, that's all... and now?
Now what?
Is this love?
Love? Love...
Love... is done. And when it's done it's done. And one returns to oneself.
Exactly. Like animals?
Like animals.
I have hands, feet and a penis, like animals... so... just like animals.
The nicest thing is that when it's done... it's done, no?
Go to hell.
Take me home. I have to wash myself.
Women... the first time they don't feel anything.
They feel it at 30.
There's no need to insult
You should pay your Lulu for this nice maneuver he made for himself
Reality is reality... there's nothing else.
[Sign: Every hour is an hour of our life]
Comrades, your assembly has decided on 2 hours of strikes
For the regularization of the piecework.
The three united unions invite you to not attempt provocations...
Workers! 2 hours of striking are not enough to resolve the problem of piecework!
Come!
Workers! Don't let yourselves be fooled!
No, no, no! Enough of these provocations!
Why all these police? It's a peaceful strike of only two hours!
Calm down, calm down... we have to guarantee the freedom of the worker!
Workers, comrades! Do not accept provocations.
Calm down! Neither from the police nor from the extremists!
Workers! They have called the police...
we have to remain united!
Workers! Follow the example of your comrades that are here with us!
Two hours of striking are useless! Better to stay outside all day and night!
Rather than working at the factory! For 36,000 lire a month, I pay it with my life!
What are your intentions? - Today no one goes in. Not even the directors
But the police is around. What are we supposed to do? - The police is always around.
And if it isn't, there's always some loser who calls them... - Of course!
The factory works when we are inside. But if we are outside, why would the directors go inside?
Yes ok. Ok. But for us, the moment hasn't arrived
Neither here nor anywhere to create a confrontation!
For you there has never been a moment for a confrontation,
neither with the owners nor with the police!
Listen listen... as if I still haven't understood you...
we will continue to strike for two hours a day until we get what we demand, is that clear!?
In the assembly we decided on two hours, not a revolution! Two hours of strikes!
And which side are you on?
Calm, calm... today the directors will not enter!
Let's go.
Form the picket-Lines up here!
Comrades! The committee of worker-Students
calls you to fight for the abolition of piecework!
No one must go into the factory, not even the directors!
Outside, outside in the cold with us.
These directors who scientifically organize your exploitation.
Comrade-Workers! Picket-Lines are the strength of the working-Class!
The expression of class discipline!
Everyone must be in the picket-Lines
The other scoundrels must fight against the strength of united unions!
Let them get out of their cars!
Make way, make way... let them pass!
Let us know who you are! Let me show us their faces!
My god! These guys will get on! I hate... hate violence!
Workers! United! Let's not let anyone pass!
Where you going? Where you going!? It's dangerous...
Get down! Get down! I'll pull off your ear! What are you going to do?
What you going to do in there? - No, not the ears!
Give me the microphone... tell everyone what you're going to do in there! - I'm not going!!
What d'you mean your not going? - Inside...
You're not going inside... so you stay here...
stay here... here with us... he's not going inside
Come on... let's pull him up... tell the others you're not going inside!
Go back! Back... back!
Calm... stay calm...
I say this for you...
good morning engineer... there's a bit of disorder here,
a workers strike, you go ahead... we'll take care of everything...
stop! Go away!
Where you going engineer!? Where you going? Don't take me with you!
Help! Help!
Come on!
I'm an employee... I have nothing to do with this!
Yes? - It's me.
Are you alone? - With who should I be?
Here, take these. - Come in. Come in... come on.
You got hurt again eh?
But!
Come on...
this is my wife.
She works at a hairdressers
These are the comrades. - What are they?
Students no?
Arturo! - Leave him there, then he'll learn something
He's a student to no? - Arturo!
Out!
House full of strangers...
I was missing something... ah...
at least we meet people - Yes, what nice faces we see
If you were head how I talk... you won't understand a word!
I'm missing the clip... - Which one's that? - The one with the dog.
There it is.
They're fugitives. - You brought them to not be alone in the house with me.
Let's not let them recognize us... and take this stuff off your head.
Come on. Come over there.
Who is it? - It's me.
Come in! - Hey there... we're so hungry here...
the engineer collapsed and they took him to a doctor...
all the newspapers are talking about it!
Where is the kitchen?
8 wounded among the police... we had 20 hurt
You going to make a sandwich there?
Hey! You were photographed!
What do they say about this in the city?
The unionists are isolated... beaten!
Lydia... be good... I forgot to tell you
that these fugitives will sleep here for two or three nights...
hey let me see! - Yes, sorry, there's the televisions
Are there any eggs? - No, there are none left.
The theory is correct. The struggle against the whole.
If we had a strong revolutionary party,
we would reach the critical point within a few months...
the workers are ready for power... forget the piecework
The workers? The workers? This guy is totally incapable!
I know workers... forget communism...
listen... go across the road and borrow a few eggs... be good
No!
You go and get them yourself, there's your communism...
What's communism go to do with it?
Of course it's got something to do. Because after you will behave like that -The eggs!
When you go to Rome to govern, what will you do? What will you do!?
We'll get rid of all the bosses no? Obviously!
What would you be without a boss? A starving wreck!
And instead look, they've given us everything... you have security with bosses...
what are you saying? What are you talking about?
Let her talk no?
She cuts out the pictures of Agnelli, she does!
Why doesn't she talk?
Here's you freedom and liberty...
I�ll talk, because anyway I�ll never become a communist! Never!
Because I�m for freedom, you understand!
And I like mink, I like it, and one day I�ll have it,
because I deserve it, you understand? Because I work!
I've worked since 12 and I deserve it because I�m good...
poor Arturo! - Arturo!
Go Arturo! Go with you mum who'll make a fur coat for you too!
Agnelli will make you a mink coat...
to think that even she is exploited!
Poor girl!
It's just amazing...
exactly the sort of contradictions that explode in this sort of family!
The average proletarian is exploited in factory
but he models himself on the examples given to him on the television...
newspapers... cinema... - Of course, of course...
he lives in misery but always imitating his exploiter
Mummy, why are we leaving?
What d'you want to do? What d'you want to do now?
No no, stay put! Put this stuff back. Put it back!
Then you pay me back for all the times I�ve forgiven you
Look, I�ll get the fur-Coat for you -You jacket Arturo!
Stop it! - I didn't say a word...
tell your mother! What did I say? What did I say? Did I say anything?
Stop it! I can't take it anymore!
Stay here with us. Even the students are here! Stay here...
Arturo come with me! He's not your father that guy... you idiot!
No, not the kid! Not the kid!
Go with you mother... come on... with done enough embarrassing things in here
What you crying about?
Lulu just pretends to care about you. Don't you remember the slaps he gave you? Stop it!
She's not gone to call anyone! - I think that girl went to call the police!
She votes for the Christian democrats but she�s good... please...
listen... you tell him... no... come on!
Don't get offended Lulu... we'll see you later Lulu...
it is 7:45... go back to work calmly... but remember,
watch out for provocations and don't play the owners' game
There will be a workers assembly in the canteen
with the three united unions... thank you!
Watch out for provocations! Don't accept the unionist blackmail
The unionists are the slaves of the owners!
They are reformists!
To the violence of the owners, respond with revolutionary violence!
Sabotage production and refuse to work!
Workers! Don't let yourselves be insulted!
Massa, you can't come in... - What d'you mean can't come in? Just wait a moment...
There is a letter for you. - What letter? Why can't I come in?
They're not letting me in!
There! You see what happens with your extremism?
You have to get in the middle of the road! A worker is not a daddy's boy! Enough!
I won't do anything... stay calm... - Lulu!
You see? I've lost my job!
First they run me over, then they fire me!
They want me dead! Strike!
Strike comrade-Workers! Let's go on strike!
To the assembly! - Wait for us Massa!
This one they will pay for... let's have an assembly!
...but a worker like me? Where do I go?
Where are we going? Eh? Are we going to school?
To the theatre? To the cemetery? To our mums?
Where do we go? Where? Where!?
Where is the little one with the beard?
At the "pizacar" school what d'you mean at the pizacar? I lost my job!
Lulu! Lulu! Who made you do it!?
Come on! Your brain turned upside-Down! Who made you do it?
And to think you were the engineers favorite! Have you gone mad?
Go away! Go away! Stay calm Lulu!
Go home a sleep! Go on Lulu!
Massa! Massa! Listen. The assembly is long and tough...
listen... don't get discouraged... - Tell me the truth!
At the exit. Wait for me at the exit. Stay calm. At the exit Massa!
At the exit?
What's the result? Is it good?
Listen Lulu. The assembly has rejected the proposal of a long-Term strike
Now we will try again? - Rejected it?! We will return and try again,
listen to the workers... maybe trying again they will be convinced...
the assembly has decided to not leave the current plan of struggle
You understand?
I knew it, I knew it... - You know what they're like.
You see Lulu, the situation is about adjusting the piecework...
here it's not about making a revolution... you are always doing somersaults
Look that each time we go on strike, it's not only the owner who losses out
it's also us who don't bring home any money... you understand?!
The money! Look, the 10,000 lire for maintaining the kid, I�ll give it to you now!
And give the kid this letter... he'll frame it... damn it!
They rejected me...
You can't keep them... he needs them. Go and give him them! - Lulu?!
Lulu. I assure you that the unions will defend you to the end.
I don't care. - But you be careful. Help us.
Try and understand -What do I care?
Isolation is ugly Lulu... be careful...
now I have to go inside... stay calm.
This is an occupied school!
At this moment students discuss the essential problems of their life!
They discuss politics.
Parents are asked to leave and return to their houses!
To watch television! - Excuse me! Excuse me!
He knows me. I'm the guy from the B.A.N. I lost my job, my finger... you remember?
Where do I go? - Over there!
Why do you let him pass? Why can he pass?
Would you be students as well? - We are Sicilian immigrants.
Look at him... look at him over there...
hey it's me Lulu... it's me.
You heard that I lost my job? - I know, I know...
I know, I know... you're here sleeping. But this morning you could have come over there...
we can't be everywhere
But at least you? - I do what I can... there are still few of us.
Yesterday we were in the offices. Today in the schools.
And tomorrow maybe we'll be down there...
yes... Yes... In the lunatic-Asylum with militina...
we try, with our work, to make the contradictions explode.
To change this way of life... - But you've changed me 'cause I lost my job.
It's because whilst you obey your boss no one touches you...
then you become aware and your fucked.
But this you already knew, didn't you Lulu? It's not new to you.
I'm not stupid. Even I know how things stand, even I do.
Leave now! - Why?
Let's go with these students in front of the factory no?
We are divided, and we are few. - Few?
I have to eat, eat! You understand? - You should know that one always finds food.
I don't what charity eh...
imagine I never said anything. Look, I�ll just pedal... indifferent
Yours is an individual case, a personal case, and this is not what interests us.
We want a class-Based story... you want a personal story? You want mine?
What do I care about a personal story?
Look me in the face. I'm 30 years old. Look at my condition!
Don't shout! - I've only done three exams, I�m sick with pyorrhoea
I got factory-Intoxicated... - And I have pyorrhoea ok?
Massa where were you? - Where have you popped out of? We were waiting for you
What do I have to do now? - What do I care what you have to do?
Do whatever you like. There are a thousand ways to live.
Try to change. Try to change! To not live as you were used to.
Stay here with us. Now you're unemployed you can do what you like.
Anyway, something to eat is always found.
If you feel like it, you can even be a full-Time activist.
Listen... don't try and be funny. Keep your hands down!
Massa you will be hired again!
I've taken decisions that... I know what I have to do for myself...
goodbye and best wishes again!
Massa why don't you stay here? - You are a student.
Yes it's true, I�m a student - In the evenings... - You are a student!
Of course! I work and I pay for my studies! Don't talk shit.
And what are you, a student too now? - Me? Why?
Tell everyone to leave... - Why don't you stay here?
Yeah... with the students!
The worker has to make it alone... even for three people
Before in the factory you didn't have anything to do... you can't go away like this!
Listen. To hire you again we will need to fight. Why are you going?
Don't isolate yourself! Stay with your friends, it's better for you...
damn it!
Arturo! - Hi Lulu!
You all look like little workers!
What you doing around here?
Nothing. I'm here. I came to see you.
I'm glad. Mother never comes to pick me up at school.
I go home alone.
Instead I came to meet you... didn't I?
And your son Armando what's he doing? Is he with you?
It's a while that I don't see him
One day we'll take a trip together -Have to see if my mum let's me go with you
She has such a character that one!
What does she say about me now, your mother?
She always says, "that disgrace", and then she cries.
Why do you always shout?
You like to be with me? - Yes
You look like small workers!
Which way are you going?
I go that way, no? - And I go this way... bye.
See you! - Yeah...
bye!
The storm that moved over the Atlantic, moved slowly towards Kazakhstan...
It's been raining piss for 10 days on all of Lombardia... 100 dead and 10 disappeared... - 20
[A nonsense rhyme]
How are you today...? - Well...
if you tighten your eyebrows, you get a brilliant plan
But Ugo... if you want to become mad as I am...
believe me... you have to return to the factory
I became mad in the factory.
[Nonsense talked in the background]
Down with this wall... the wall...
down... down...
down with this wall!
I brought that stuff.
The wall!
Massa! We got our first victory! They transferred the engineer!
Lulu! We know you're there! Come out!
Open up! What you doing in there alone?
Come out! Go back to the factory! - Lulu, the comrades need you!
Massa! Now you're a symbol... you have to come out... all the comrades are waiting for you!
You understand that 30% of the workers went on strike with us today?
You have to come out... to the gates!
Lulu, even you have to participate in the fight if you want to be hired again!
Come outside, come on!
I'm selling

Various animals... prizes.
All natives
If I meet that guy who had the idea to make all this stuff...
wizard in the kitchen opens cans... prepares mayonnaise... sharpens knives
Magic moment
[Reads English]
Get out of here!
If I meet that guy... who has the idea to make this stuff...
it hurts my cranium!
Four alarm clocks? Who knows why?
A museum...
where did I put them... memories...
one day I�ll put myself in here...
Bitch of a cow!
Look for them! Here they are.
Nice packet... packet of stocks
One day I�ll put myself in there... go in there... damn it.
What you doing, checking? Checking? You're falling now?
Being a ghost? To scare me? To scare me? What you checking?!
I'll break you! What you checking? I'll break you!
He checks! What are you checking?
Look mum! ' The duck exploded.
Wall... the wall.
Lulu!
Wall... the wall
Who is it? - It's us! Open up!
Is your dad not here? - Yes he is.
Quickly, wake him up! Tell him it's important!
What is it? - There's a man.
Lulu, there are people! - There's a man who want to speak with you
He said it was important -Who is it?
Excuse me? - It's two or three of them...
come in!
Excuse us... It's something important.
Come into the living room, Lulu will come right away.
Lulu! We did it!
You have been hired again! You're going back to work!
We signed tonight, at 2. We got everything! Even on the piecework!
Lulu, what you gave was decisive
Well? Aren't you happy? - I'm happy.
You want some "grappa"?
Well, I told you we would succeed.
You told me. - This is the result of union unity
Just imagine, it's the first time in the province
that they hire a worker fired for political reasons.
Important isn't it? - Damn! The first time?
Militina... - Who is militina? They didn't hire him again.
Those were other times... today we are much stronger
More aware... today we scare them... don't we Lulu?
Lulu, you see? Are you happy?
I am.
Come forward too... - Come forward Bassi!
You want coffee? I'll go make coffee.
Well then... your health! "Chin-Chin"!
Is it true? - Of course.
Worker-Comrades! We have brought victory on the two aims we had given ourselves!
The re-Hiring of Massa, and the regulation of piecework... - Workers!
But the fight has not ended...
...still dark! Today, after 8 hours of forced labor, you will come out
And will be dark again! The sun, for you, today...
will not shine! You might see a little of it if the boss gives you permission!
Workers! Rebel!
What you gained today, is not because of the unions!
But to your will to fight! Fight with us students!
Your immediate aim is, and will be, all and at once!
Work! Slaves!
You behaved badly... they put you on the assembly line!
Look at the man's destiny!
I was back there dreaming... hey! You hear me? I'm talking to you!
What?
I was there dreaming! - Dreaming of what?
A wall! - Massa dreamt of...
what are they saying? I don't understand? I can't hear!
Massa dreamt of a wall! - Dream of a wall! Massa! An ass?
I was there dreaming of a wall... I was... I was dead no?!
Who? - I died!
Massa dreamt that he was dead! - Who died?!
I was buried alive... and militina left me... - Massa died? Nice dream!
Militina? - At a certain point, militina says...
He explains... - He says he died!
Who militina? - Militina died!
He died in the lunatic asylum! - No, militina didn't die!
Militina says... he shouts... - What did militina say? - Militina shouted!
He says... let's break everything an go inside!? - We're going inside!
Yeah, let's break everything and take over paradise!
Where is that? Where?
I don't know that, inside the wall... on the other side of paradise...
he says, let's break everything and go inside
I don't say anything... and anyway... I have a tremendous vision!
Just imagine! There was a guy with his head in one place and his body 10 meters away.
I still remember it. Down with this wall!
Down with the wall...
and the wall went down!
It went down. - Yes but what was there!? What was there?
Inside this wall?
There was fog. - What fog?
Yes, but what was there in this fog?
At first nothing. Then I started to look, and I saw militina come out of it
Who? - Militina! Who is militina?
A guy at the lunatic asylum
Then I saw a manual-Laborer, an idiot with a missing finger
And I said, who is that? And I thought... but that's me! Holy shit!
Try to fix it! One by one you all came forward...
we were all there... in the wall... In the dust, in the fog...
but what does it mean? - What does it mean!?
3, 6, 42, eternal century here...
hey Napoli! 6, 7, 42!
Wow he's slow in understanding that guy... what does it mean?
It means that if there's a wall to knock down we knock it down, no?!
Wow, he's slow that guy! Damn...
I understood Massa! - But I haven't yet understood you... who you are, what you want...
I want to immediately knock down the wall, that's who I am!
Was I there? Was I there? - I don't know, I think so... where was I!?
In the fog? In paradise? Is there fog in paradise
Was I there? - I don't know if even you were there!
What do I care? - Why don't you have a nice dream then?!
At the lunatic asylum, was I there? Inside the wall?
Look! Even I wasn't there... there was no one there!
Forget what I said!
