I hired 75 workers today.

Tomorrow, the new machines

will start to come in.

Another one. Careful.

And there's room behind the house.

-Behind the house?

Your vegetable garden.

-My vegetable garden.

-Guillaume...

Last autumn, I planted

vegetables there.

And in February, I'll plant onions.

Economic expansion, fine.

The Japanese, great.

But the rest, never.

-Never?

Never.

-We won't talk about it again.

Let me through.

One, two, three.

How many did you hire?

We need double that.

Wait. What's 7 + 7?

-15? 7 + 7 = 15?

Yes, nowadays it is.

Why are these machines standing in the rain?

-Sir!

We need more room.

-I know, I know.

We'll be 400 square metres short.

-I know.

I'll find something. Follow me.

-Re, mi, re, mi...

...so, re, do, la, do, mi, la, si...

...mi, do, si, la, mi, re, mi.

For the time being...

For the time being, you can...

...put a little machine here.

Go ahead.

Start over.

What are you doing?

I'm working.

-But you're in my house.

Who told you to go here.

-Talk to the guy out there.

Lift it.

-Guillaume!

You tricked me.

-Me? Never.

Yes, you did.

-In spite of all my problems and worries...

... I never cheated on you in 23 years.

-Yes, you did. With your factory.

It's taking over the house.

-But I have to produce...

...3000 CX22s in 3 months.

But I need to find room on our property.

-But the piano...

Put it in the greenhouse.

It'll be so quiet.

-Really?

Alright. 1, 2, 3.

B flat!

Where do we put the machine?

-Up there.

Up there?

-Yes, just do it.

Take it up, guys.

-Shh!

That's enough for now.

Let's go, let's go.

Hurry up, hurry up.

That's it.

Darling.

-Yes?

I'm going to bed.

-Won't you have dinner?

I had a sandwich.

-Wait for me. Wait.

We have to produce.

We have to.

In the night?

-Yes, I have three teams.

Around the clock.

I'll get undressed.

I never saw the boss in pyjamas.

And madam too.

Are you asleep, darling?

-I'm fine. Thank you.

Can't you be a bit less loud?

Can't you work with some feeling?

Keep it a bit quiet.

Sleep, darling.

What's that?

-In order to sleep.

Yes, but they go in the ears.

What's that? Ah...

Did you sleep well?

-Very well. I feel great.

To work!

Morning, gentlemen.

How are things going? -We have a

big problem, sir. -What's that?

Storage.

-Storage of what?

The CX22. We need a place to store them.

The machines take up all the room.

That's crazy.

-But it's urgent.

I'm going to find room.

Come with me.

Close it.

Make a hole in the wall.

Make a hole in the wall.

Put the hose in the hole.

Now open it.

Oh dear. Poor girl.

Sir, they're waiting for you.

Three marriages.

I don't have time for that.

-They all vote in the local election.
