Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Look at what you're doing!

Excuse me, sir. Excuse me.

You're not a kid.

Cheerio!

Okay.

What's wrong with your cab?

You're completely nuts.

That's something.

I never heard such a thing.

Forgive me, madam.

I am an old hand at driving.

So what?

If I may say so, in principle, brakes are made to stop.

I really don't know what you are driving at. I am stopped.

A little late. There is a red light and my stoplights are working.

Oh, mister, mister.

Madam. It was the boys. They did it.

Excuse me, madam.

A little good for nothings.

So what's the matter?

You should get a good tanning

and I said to myself, I positively have to stop the sailor. But he never sees

you anymore.

Oh,

the garden is barely finished, you know. Indeed, I see.

It's really coming along, eh?

You see, it's beginning to look like something.

Here is the living room, you see.

Fine, fine. So practical.

All communicating.

Oh, that must be Jimmy.

Excuse me, excuse me for a moment. Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Oh, this gadget is my husband's play child. I hadn't realized she was a girl.

Oh, yes, yes. Not only that. My goodness.

And as you see, all the rooms face south, overlooking the garden.

It's very nice.

Oh, I see my hat intrigues you.

Oh, yes. You're still buying at Milady. Always faithful.

You're lucky, dear.

My head is so difficult to pick.

Oh, don't say that.

Well, let's go in and see Jimmy.

Jimmy, darling.

Say hello to Mrs. Des Moines.

Oh, Jimmy.

Excuse him, please, you know.

Jimmy, darling, don't mess up your room. Put your books away.

Take off your shoes and wash your hands.

Put your clothes in the closet.

Did you hear me, Jimmy?

Jimmy!

Jimmy, hang up your coat neatly and put your cap away.

You see, he doesn't even answer.

It's impossible to make him obey. Oh, that doesn't surprise me. On the other

hand, when his uncle calls for him, he's on the dot. That's another story. Oh,

for my goodness.

I thought it was much earlier. I'm keeping you. Oh, you know, with the

latest modern equipment.

Oh, I can well imagine what a chore it is to keep up a house.

Yes, it's work. But you must admit it, you love housework. Oh, you're terrible.

Well, I must be going.

I won't show you out.

It's on.

No, no, it's me.

It's only me.

Come quickly.

Come quickly.

And be quiet.

Television, dear? Yes, yes, by all means.

Monsieur, vous avez any grapefruit?

Let's look and see.

But

what's

this?

It's not right. Look at the scale. You have cheated me, my good man.

Your scale's inaccurate.

It's broken.

I won't pay for it. Three-fifths, it's too much. C'est voleur.

You just take them back.

I won't pay.

Look at that.

But of course, blow up the tire, allure, allure. I love the French people. J'aime

beaucoup le français.

Mais...

I'd be really grateful if you could give my brother-in-law a chance in your...

Well, all right. I agree.

Just tell your brother... My brother-in-law. Sorry, brother-in-law.

Tell him to see Miss Vernon.

Head of the personnel department.

Thank you very much. I'll see if I have his number. May I use your phone? Of

course.

It's not his house. It's a restaurant, but they will call him.

He lives right next door.

Hello?

Hello? May I speak to Mr. Hulot, please? Mr. Hulot? Yes.

Been looking for him.

Hello?

Is that you? Now, listen.

It's me. It's Opel, your brother-in-law.

Your brother-in-law, yes.

I found a job for you. The CCDC.

DC, yes. The Combined Coal Derivative Company.

No, coal.

Just ask for the personnel department.

Yes. Why don't you shut the door?

Be here in 15 minutes.

All right.

Sorry.

Well, I don't know how to thank you, sir.

not to be disturbed.

Right, mister.

Good morning.

There's little to explain.

It's simply this.

Your hours.

You start at 8. 8, shop.

At 12, an hour... An hour's break for lunch.

And... And Sunday's free, of course.

Just a minute.

All right, Mr. Udo. We'll call you when and if.

At the moment, we don't need any increbats.

May I suggest not that way?

Try going out this way.

So you can view it all without exerting yourself.

How do you do?

I'm your neighbor.

I'm sorry.

But I found this in my garden. Oh, you shouldn't have bothered, my dear. It's

nothing, really.

Please, do come in. I can't let you stand outside.

Oh, I don't want to bother you.

I can imagine how busy you are. Jimmy, darling, look.

You should be more careful.

Now, thank the lady.

Oh, boys will be boys. Do come in.

I'm embarrassed.

Oh, don't be.

Well, here is the living room.

Oh, it's very simple.

Of course, all of it was designed in my husband's factory.

Oh, very original.

May I? Please do, my dear.

U-A helium-4

Think of me alone in my big barn.

Bye.

Bye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Hello? Yes, this is Mr. Opel. Ah, he was there. No, not Ulo. Ulo.

What's that?

He stood where?

Hello? On the desk? What?

To see?

To see what? Hello, Mr. Lambert? Hello?

Well, your brother.

Shh, don't get excited. Keep your voice down. Go, go inside.

What happened?

He lasted exactly 30 seconds on the new job. And after I went to all the trouble

of recommending him right on the top.

No, no, no, no.

Irresponsible.

Everything okay?

Fine.

Charles, dear, I have an idea.

Yes, his uncle has no work now, so he can take Jimmy. Hooray!

Your coffee's ready.

At your coffee table, dear.

Come on, kids,

let's go swimming!

Hey, JB, do you have any money?

Hey,

come on Jimmy.

Come on, come on!

Johnny, ma'am, quick.

Jimmy, your turn.

Oh yes, frankly, no, excuse me, I swear.

Oh la la, oh, it's sad to see that.

Come on children, look at the coast, look at the swamps, all hot, all hot.

Come on children.

What a sight.

Oh, dear.

No, no, no, it makes no sense.

What kind of manners are those?

He treats me like a stranger.

I won't stand for it.

I don't have to put up with that kind of thing.

No, I don't.

No, sir, and I'm not going to.

Maybe he doesn't like it here.

Ah,

no, no, no. It's the limit.

This house, who paid for it?

It's my work, my efforts.

His uncle.

Maybe he wants to take my place. I wouldn't be surprised.

Is that it?

Is that it?

You're not eating.

What's the matter, darling? Are you sick?

I've had enough.

No, no, no.

This just can't go on.

His uncle.

His uncle. He's a fine example, his uncle. Believe me. Oh, I don't know

where I am anymore.

Charles, dear, please.

Listen, Charles, it's no use getting angry.

What my brother needs is...

Something to work for. A home.

And all this.

Listen.

It's our neighbor.

Come and see.

She's not married.

And she's really a wonderful housekeeper.

And I bought that for my brother. Well, that's it.

Look, child, at that.

Her house is better kept away than ours.

Yes, I really mean it.

Now, here's my idea, Charles.

On Sunday, I'll invite a few friends.

Just like that. Nothing formal.

Very simple. Like a garden party.

Some sandwiches, tea and pastry.

I'm going crazy.

Cheerio!

PUSSY LO-

Oh, what a beautiful fireplace.

Hello, Mr. Vincent.

Ah, there you are, sir.

Hello,

sir. Oh, Benito.

Ah, merci bien.

No,

no, no, no.

No, no.

Ah, it's beautiful!

What did you say?

Gaston! Gaston!

But my old man, I'm in the same boat. Only we have so much to accept.

So why are you coming? I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Be careful with those trays, Georgette.

Oh, give it to me. Give it to me. My husband is coming.

Charles!

Oh, hurry or nothing, you'll be ready when the guests come.

Good morning, my good man.

How much is that?

Very well.

Here you are.

Oh, keep the change.

the tray oh be careful now can you manage it all right then leave it

georgette are you coming now go on get out of my way come along the

bell

I don't need anything, anything at all.

Charles, please, darling, get him out.

Now, now, what is it?

Now, listen, don't bother us, don't insist.

You were just told we need, we don't need any coppers. We can't buy any rugs.

What is it?

Darling, for heaven's sake, it's Miss Amber.

Oh, dear.

Not at all.

Welcome. Oh, thank you. Well, let's go over there.

Jimmy,

come here and say hello to the lady.

Hello, how are you? Excuse me, I've got to make some more.

Well, what a big boy he is.

Charles,

our gift.

Ah, Pichard.

Mrs. Arpeth.

How do you do? Mr. Arpeth.

My pleasure.

Oh,

how nice of you. They are plastic.

Flowers that last.

Yes, the smell of rubber.

Would you like to see the house? Come this way.

Welcome, dear lady.

My dear Walter, I'm delighted to see you.

Let me introduce you to the others.

Mr. Pichard, my right hand.

How do you do? Mrs. Walter, Mr. Walter, Mrs. Pichard.

And now make yourselves at home, get acquainted.

I think we can put it here in the garden.

Well, after all, we've produced a million feet of plastic hose this month.

This is a considerable amount.

And besides that, we don't even have our new extruder.

That's very interesting.

Who's that? Stay right behind me.

My friends, we are refreshments.

Help yourselves.

Open it, open it. It's my brother.

You know him? Uh, no.

Would you like some ice in that, Mr. Sharp? Come along, Walter.

Let's go to the terrace.

We can talk better there.

Well, what's new?

Quite a lot is happening. You're on the in.

To my mind, one has to watch not only the big board, but the over-the-counter

deals. That's what counts, believe me.

You're right. I have confidential information.

Real profits, rest, and bonds, in spite of a decline of 2.5.

Ah, you're telling me. But we mustn't get panicky.

The market has been affected by world events, no doubt. I'm sure that we're

standing the pressure.

And watch.

Uncorded stocks at 7% would make no sense, but dividends have gone up to 80.

And that's been the situation for the last two quarters.

Figure it for yourself. You'll see.

Stocks have a tendency to stabilize.

No one can deny it.

There's nothing to worry about.

Except that little deficit of four million.

After all, the dollar still remains the yardstick in your finances.

Well, Walter, I'm glad to see you were in complete agreement. You two men stop

talking business now.

Mr. Walter, don't be an outsider.

The ladies want you. May I help you? Thank you. Pichard. Come on. Come over

here.

Now, my friends, I've just interrupted a financial discussion. My dear Pichard.

Yes, Mr. Arpette.

We've been working together for so many years.

Oh, yes, Mr. Arpette. Well, I've been thinking lately.

Our plant is doing well.

Production is increasing every day.

Business is improving.

Come, come over here.

This is my brother-in-law.

Mr.

Pichard.

Delighted.

And so, Pichard, let me tell you what I'm driving at.

My brother-in-law needs an opportunity, something he can get his teeth into, an

objective, see what I mean? Absolutely.

The time has come for him to make his mark in the world.

I'm considering taking him in with us.

Into the factory. Yes, yes.

You know, be sure, how much I value you.

Go ahead.

Oh, lovely!

Oh,

what a lovely kitchen.

And here, my dears, I am the boss.

I want to introduce you to my brother.

Excuse me.

It's our neighbor.

Our charming neighbor.

Don't worry. I'll get him over here. You know, he's always a little vague.

Charles, please.

Miss Amber.

Mr. Pichard next to Mrs. Walton.

I'll be with you in a minute.

Oh, my dear, wouldn't you rather sit over there?

I'm sure you'd be more comfortable.

Now come along over here and meet our charming neighbor. At last, the two of

you together.

My brother. I'm enchanted.

Sit down, dear. Have a chair.

Take it. It's very practical.

Never exaggerate. Put your glass here.

I must tell you, my husband is taking my brother into his business.

Ah!

And now I leave you two alone.

Get acquainted, have a nice talk.

Well... It's lovely weather.

I'll go get some drinks. Wait, wait here. I'll be right back. And you, I dub

her knight in shining armor.

Oh, yes, yes.

Now, don't be bashful.

Mr. Walter, orange juice?

Thank you. Where's your glass, Bichon?

It's that way.

A little more?

Yes, please.

For my brother-in-law, by the way, I can put the bottle in.

Really, really good.

Good thing?

Yes.

Qualities. She's extraordinary.

And Mr. Harper is a man.

Yes, exactly. Here I am chattering on, forgetting your tea completely.

Here's your cup.

Not exactly. Just a little. Your glass.

Teddy.

There you are. Isn't tea a marvellous drink?

So interesting.

I drink it every day.

I couldn't live without it.

But everyone adores tea.

My aunt never got up before she had a cup of tea. You can't imagine how much

good it is.

Yes.

Oh,

let's go.

Where do you want me to go?

What happened?

It's soaking wet.

My fountain.

Did you touch it, Georgette?

Take this.

We must do something.

Your work must be very interesting. Mr. Arpelt tells me your husband has a very

important position.

Oh, what is it?

Stop it.

Stop it, Georgette. Stop it.

No to the water. Like this. Not like that.

I really don't understand what's going to happen.

Must be a leak.

We'll have it repaired in the morning.

Oh, look, we can't just leave.

It's all right. Let me.

It's easy.

No, no, no, no. Yes, yes, yes. I'll do it. Don't worry.

Jimmy, don't look round. Get a two-by. Excuse me. Everybody take something.

Now, everybody.

There's plenty of room here. You take that. Let's go over there, Walter.

Everybody follow me.

Here I go. Follow the leader. Excuse me.

Rather than. I don't care.

I'm going to leave.

I'll find a dry spot.

In this corner.

No, no, to the left.

Let's see now.

How shall we do this?

Mr. Walter, you girls there.

Everyone to the left.

Is that all right?

Yes,

yes, of course. But we can't all sit here.

Mrs.

Pichard, please take this.

Look out for the steps.

We go back up.

Hey, hey, the chair, the chair.

Thank you.

Oh.

Do you know the Melvilles?

Lovely, sweetest couple. They've built such a charming little cottage.

Colonial style, very cute, and right next to the country club, so exclusive.

Now, let's have our tea. May I help you? Mr. Walton, may I pour?

Oh, I almost forgot.

And who hasn't had a tea?

Oh, I like it that way.

And you, Mrs. Walter, do you like... It's for your brother.

Oh, yes, we all do.

I guess we all do.

There you are.

Oh,

he takes it the English way.

It's a charming dress, my dear.

Oh, excuse me. Have you seen my cigarette holder?

Oh, there it is.

Who has a light? The gentleman, your light is... Anyone have a match?

Oh,

how tall he is. So big.

He's so sweet.

I'm saved. Stop looking. Charles, I wish you could be more attentive.

No, dear. You could be, you know. Thank you.

Oh, he's really so attentive.

We have our troubles. A quality so rare these days. Well, it's understandable.

And we have to watch the stock market. You are very patient, I know, but you're

right. It's essential. Oh, your brother's gone.

He's disappeared. Where is he? Oh, don't worry. He will surely come back right

away. Oh, there you are. I haven't forgotten.

You haven't eaten at all.

But where is Pika?

Get him a drink. Pisha!

Pisha!

Tell him to stop working. What are you doing there?

Oh, come on, have a drink. He's been forgotten.

Well,

a just reward for a working man. Well, is it?

Oh, your sleep driver.

Your brother has gone.

Come on, honey, hurry up, please.

But hurry, dear, I can't wait much longer.

Now, wait. I can help, too.

No, no, no.

Stay there, stay there. Your place is with your guest.

Walter, really, let me help you.

Okay, let's go.

Come on, come on.

Give it to me, please.

Look, fellows, I'm sick.

It won't be long.

Hooray, it's fixed. Can we turn it on?

Hurry, then. Do the controls, dear. Hurry.

Ma'am, the pumps.

The pumps.

Here, Mr. Walter.

Thanks. Sorry, I can't do it. It's all right.

Hurry.

Open her all the way.

How do you do, everyone?

Do you know who he is?

Stranger to me. Stranger to me, too.

There, you know him? Oh!

I don't. Oh, no, I don't know him. It's a friend. He's come to fetch me. He's a

magnificent horseman. Oh, no, you're not going to leave us. Why don't you join us

for a coffee?

Yes.

Baby! Oh, baby!

Come here.

Come here,

baby. Oh, something.

Charleston! Baby!

Oh, this is awful. Call him for heaven's sake. Wait.

Oh, Walter. Did you hurt yourself? Help him.

But he hurt himself.

Now, this is no time for Indians.

Oh, my God.

Jackie. Jackie.

Jackie.

Oh,

I've got him.

Oh, this is terrible.

Jackie.

Bravo.

Somebody does something.

And you, stop staring and at least help me.

That was clever.

It must have been horribly painful. Oh, it's nothing.

Nothing. Goodbye. Oh, look at you, Pichard.

Oh, it's nothing, boss. At least it's fixed. Well, so long, old man. So long,

Mr. Appel. See you tomorrow at the office.

Come on, dear.

Goodbye, Mrs. Bichard.

Oh,

Walter, I'm so sorry. It's nothing.

Nothing at all. Really, nothing. Did you receive our flowers? Yes, indeed.

Thank you very much.

Goodbye, Mrs. Oh, pardon me. Your glass, please.

Oh.

Thank you very much.

It's a surprise for my husband.

A wedding anniversary present.

It must be working by tonight.

Thank you.

Morning, sir. Morning, miss.

Oh, I forgot.

Mr. Pine, the director is here now. Oh, thank you.

Aha, Pichard. How are you?

Fine, but a little stiff.

A little stiff?

This is Mr. Pichard, my right hand. How do you do?

Pichard, please show Mr. Fine through the factory. I must leave you. Excuse

me. Sorry, Pichard.

It's the new car.

Well, now, sir, I'd like to show you our various departments.

Would you come with me?

This way.

After you.

No, no, no, no. Here.

Excuse me.

Good morning, sir. You do. How do you do?

This it? Well, here she is.

Ah. She's quite a car, eh?

Yes. Yes.

Some lines, eh?

Um, tell me, how many cylinders are there? Don't talk about cylinders, sir,

nor about the motor. It's not necessary. Look, everything's automatic.

Comfort's the key word here. Yes.

Interesting.

Now, superhydrocell, which reaches top speed through the function of a

catalyzer. Now, these are the polyhomogenes. The catalyst compounds

here, they are combined at this point, and all the mixing takes place.

Oof.

ratios in every sense.

Now, of course, pressurization tubes follow along here and above and over

into this tube.

And because of our own pattern of phosphatization, the pressure is

produced 500 pounds per square inch.

This is controlled by the application of a pre-phosphatizer.

It's under automatic control of the catalyzer.

It follows this course into the homogenous.

The trunk will take a lot of luggage.

And here you have a radio aerial.

One over here as well.

Now here is the bell of sale.

and all the other papers.

I wonder if you would mind taking my little car with you.

There.

I also hope that you will come again, Mr. Arpels.

Well, that's perfect.

Thank you very much.

Bye. Bye.

Goodbye. Bye.

Mr. Arpels.

Excuse me, just a moment. It's all right. I'll be right back. I have a

great liking for your brother-in-law. Fact.

But look what he produced for us.

No. Yes, and many more just like him. But really, it's... Your signature,

please.

Thank you.

I'm really sorry, sir. But have you not... Yes.

Set Mr. Udart here immediately.

Maybe if you would just... You know there's enough factory things like this

one. It's admissible.

Plagues cannot happen.

No, no, never.

Ah,

Tunky, I'd like a break.

I agreed to take you on for family reasons, and it was your duty to set an

example for my whole staff.

Now tell me what possible use could this be, because it was a blast act.

This is the first time it's happened, and I swear it's the last.

This plan is 100% my crime, and it's impossible to make a mistake.

It was carefully planned that way.

And you don't seem to be able to adjust yourself.

Oh,

Pichard. Come here. Yes, sir?

Don't call Mrs. Rappel about the car. She doesn't know. I want it to be a

surprise to you. I understand, sir. Today's our anniversary.

Understand? Of course.

You may be sure. Very well.

I'm going, huh? Take your time, Ibarra.

Can we put this in our aquarium?

Yes, of course.

Come on, let's do this.

Dad,

are you on the road?

Georgette, turn the switch in the hall. The new one!

What happened?

Happy anniversary.

Oh, now, really, dear.

Come, come and see. I'll show you how it works.

There,

no more keys.

Happy? Happy anniversary.

A new one.

Go see.

Beauty! Wait, wait, I'll go with you.

Oh, Jackie, come here.

Jackie, come here.

We must get him to cross there again. Ducky, come here.

Ducky, here, here.

Look, he's too low.

Go back, Ducky. Back, boy.

Go back, Ducky. Go, go. Back.

Back, I tell you.

What shall we do, then?

Idiotic dog. Out, go out. Well, if you shout at him. But we have to do

something, don't we?

Now she's turning on the fountain. No, Georgette, the one over there.

Oui, madame.

Oh, she's so stupid.

Now she's opening the windows.

Georgette, we're in the garage. We can't get out. Come, come help us.

Hurry, hurry up.

Now, Georgette, listen.

Oui, madame. You see the two little lights?

Walk between them, that's all.

Let me talk to her. Well, now, Georgette,

it's a simple electric gadget.

It's just an electric eye.

Georgette, be brave. Come on, now.

That's the girl.

This is ridiculous.

You have to get used to these things.

You have to be modern.

We told you there was nothing to be afraid of.

You just have to get used to them.

Close the little door. There's no electricity there, nothing to fear.

A suicide!

Roger!

Ah, you see?

I told you to stay there!

. .

.

All right, all right.

Whoa!

What about the Blue Angel?

Hmm? Well, I think I prefer ringtones.

You're happy, aren't you?

You're proud, aren't you?

Look at this.

I'm not touching it.

The violinist was good, wasn't he?

But look at the mess.

Oh, no, no, no. This just can't go on any longer.

What? No, I simply won't have it.

And besides, he's setting a bad example for Jimmy.

Silly. I'm sick and tired of always hearing about his uncle. Darling, you're

jealous. What?

Jealous me? Yes, jealous.

Oh, really?

He must leave now.

I have news for you.

We need a salesman who will be traveling constantly.

And you're just the man for the job.

I've made up my mind.

You'd better take the job.

Thank you.

You're going away?

Jimmy. Let's go. Come on, son.
