Ah, yes, excuse me.

A noble activity.

You should tell him to calm down.

-No way.

He just signed a great contract.

He's on top of the world.

I think it's great.

-You're gorgeous.

If you'd want...

I'm faithful.

-Ah, yes.

And a man like Guillaume needs more than

Or surveillance.

-Of course.

Careful. It's a carnivore. And venomous.

Spit it out.

The local elections will

be held in one month.

I plan to run against your husband.

That would be a mistake.

It wouldn't be nice and you'd lose.

I'm on good terms with the majority.

-He is the majority.

Always laws and counter-laws.

-Then I'll talk to the opposition.

He is the opposition.

The opposition holds the majority.

Don't worry. I'll be very gentle.

-It's still a needle.

I'm sorry.

That has never happened before.

Mr. Prefect is waiting for you, sir.

Mr. Prefect. Mr. Daubray-Lacaze.

-Mr. Prefect.

Sir.

We'll continue playing while we talk.

-Of course.

They touched. It made contact.

I saw it.

What brings you here?

-The Japanese did.

They ordered 3000 of my CX22s.

You know how small my factory is.

I have to expand.

How?

-Well, the state owns...

... a piece of land that

borders on my factory.

Rent it out to me.

-That's very difficult.

You haven't had any good press, lately.

Your factory is a big source of pollution.

We have to take that into account.

-But I need that land.

It's impossible.

So that's a no?

Yes.

-A final no?

I'm afraid so.

-Your turn.

Alright.

That's a point. Did you see?

Still my turn.

What are you doing?

I'm playing billiards.

Both again.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Another one. Thank you.

Mr. Prefect, about the land...

Do you still say no?

No.

-No?

No.

It's your turn now.

The chairman of the bank is waiting.

-I didn't understand a word.

The chairman of the bank is

waiting in the room.

The chairman of the bank.

Can I sit down.

-No, remain standing.

May I insist...

-Is this again about my deficit?

Yes.

-I don't care.

You know, the board

of directors in Paris...

Turn around.

-But I'm your banker.

All the more reason.

Cover your ears.

-Listen, Mr. Daubray-Lacaze...

Cover your ears.

Better than that.

Like that.

Look. What's that?

A cheque. But in which currency?

-In yens.

The strongest currency in the world.

Come in.

-Mr. Director...

My cheque, my cheque!

Where is it?

Don't touch it.

I forbid you to

touch my cheque.

Back to work!

My cheque, my cheque!

Hands off!

Alright, back to work.

Go get it. Go get it!

I've got it.

-Thank you!

My cheque!

Sign it, please.

Bernadette, we have an urgent problem.

What is it, my darling?

-I have to expand.

Well, here's the bed.

-No, I mean expand.
