- My plane is at 10.

- Did you tell her I'm here?

- It does not matter.

I'll call Inge.

Who?

I've hired a substitute daughter.

Perfect. She will call on your birthday

instead of me.

It was a joke.

I don't know if I still have

make-up anywhere.

Oh, I'd forgoten. Thanks.

- Let's talk on Skype soon.

- Sure. My Skype's working again.

- She shouldn't work so hard.

- She's doing great.

Come in.

In your basket.

You're my little Willi.

Excuse me, please!

Mr Conradi?

Yes, I got him. Just a moment.

I'm Anca Pavelescu.

I'm Ms. Conradi's assistant.

Are you still there?

Just a flying visit.

I know, it was a little...

No, you don't need to come.

I'll go to a hotel.

No, really, nothing's wrong.

Fine. See you later. Ok.

Bye.

Yes, please?

Yes, I'm here.

Ok, sure.

See you later.

She asks if you would like

to accompany her...

This evening, to a reception

of the American Embassy.

- Was that her?

- Yes, she's still on the meeting.

Ok. When she will...

I will let her know.

And how is my daughter?

As a boss?

As your chief?

She is very...

honest.

She gives me a lot of feedback.

About my performance.

No, "performance"

means my work in general.

For exemple,

in meetings, with the team,

dealing with the clients.

And what's most important

when dealing with the clients?

That no concept makes sense

if the client doesn't want it.

The art is to tell the clien

what he actually wants.

I'm sure my daughter is good at that.

Wow. What a long day, right?

Yeah, well, sure, you have to work.

And I've really invaded you here, huh?

How long were you waiting?

Three hours.

I wasn't even sure

you'd recognized me.

I did, but that was the entire

Romanian board of Dacoil.

How was everything with Anca?

They were all very nice to me.

The driver too.

So listen, about tonight's event:

It's a business reception given by

the American Embassy

There will be speeches,

appetizers, small talk...

That's it.

Great. Can I go like this?

That will pass.

Just one last thing.

If there's a chance to have a drink

with Henneberg, the CEO, our client,

I will go alone, ok?

I'm fighting right now

to get out contract extended.

Of course. No concept makes

sense without the client.

You can say...

that you're my father, but...

but maybe that you're

tired after your cultural program.

Go.

We are late already.

That guy looks like Tiriac.

Maybe.

Can you grab us something from the buffet?

- Something. The buffet?

- Right. Sure.

Thanks.

- Our third time today. Good evening.

- True. Good evening.

That was a fascinating speech.

We are not yet where we want to be...

but Romania has really shown great
