You can't send that!

It's true, isn't it?

Listen!

He's Lucien's customer...

You can't do that!

I can't?.. Then you write him!

I will!

You're a selfish monster!

Everybody has to help you!

I didn't ask for anything

I didn't want the damn telephone!

Why?

Because friends might call us?

What if we're bored?

I don't know what boredom is!

I know some people get bored...

but I don't know what it means!

There's always something to do...

cut the pages of a book...

do crossword puzzles, take notes...

always something to do!

I'd like a 30-hour day...

because I'm never bored!

I wish I were 60...

I'd only need 5 hours sleep!

I'm going to the toilet!

Going to school?

Aren't you on strike?

You're an early bird...

- It's cold...

- Want a set of keys?

Anyway, they're right here

Give me a hand...

Get a move on, Marcel!

No more noise?

They're plastic...

On wheels?

No!

The new management got them...

they're noiseless!

You look nervous

I'm testing a product I invented

If it works,

I get Absolute Red...

If not, I read the want ads!

I studied our horoscope.

Very favorable!

Big things ahead for you and me

I used too much...

What do you think?

Read the want ads!

Important new

American hydraulic company...

seeks dynamic

young man speaking English...

"Dear sir:

I wish to recommend..."

"the son of an old friend."

"Former Scout leader

and a loyal Frenchman...

"he is completely fluent in..."

the language of Shakespeare."

"His dynamism should be useful

to your firm."

Could you give this letter to the

director?

You can come in now

Just a minute

The applicant is here

- Say hello first

- Hello! Now hurry up

Monsieur Max, please

- My little cream puff!

- Down, boy!

Monsieur Max?.. He's here

Watch out! I love cream puffs!

If I had breasts

I'd fondle them all day

A very nice letter...

You speak...

You speak English well?

A little...

You read it better than you speak it

The problem...

for our employees here...

is transportation.

You have a car?

You can't start at the top,

of course

I'll put you on the scale-models

We've made a model of a harbor...

with the port installations

You'll maneuver the boats...

Like the job?

You'll see:
my employees...

are so happy here...

they hate to stay home on Sundays!

That is the port...

based on future plans

At present, the harbor silts up

So we've built a dike

from there to there

Otherwise, it's accurate to scale

Your job will be...

to run the boats by remote control

Push a button and away they go!

Like the job?

"You'll see:
my employees..."

"are so happy here..."

"they hate to stay home Sundays!"

He says that to all the new ones!

François Truffaut

François Roland Truffaut (French: [fʁɑ̃.swa ʁɔ.lɑ̃ tʁyfo]; 6 February 1932 – 21 October 1984) was a French film director, screenwriter, producer, actor, and film critic, as well as one of the founders of the French New Wave. In a film career lasting over a quarter of a century, he remains an icon of the French film industry, having worked on over 25 films. Truffaut's film The 400 Blows came to be a defining film of the French New Wave movement, and was followed by four sequels, Antoine et Colette, Stolen Kisses, Bed and Board, and Love on the Run between 1958 and 1979. Truffaut's 1973 film Day for Night earned him critical acclaim and several awards, including the BAFTA Award for Best Film and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. His other notable films include Shoot the Piano Player (1960), Jules et Jim (1961), The Wild Child (1970), Two English Girls (1971), and The Woman Next Door (1981). more…
