"Ford goes from here to there." "Good morning." "I'm ready when you are, sir." "Well?" " The boss!" " What are you waiting for?" "Where's the foreman?" "Here, sir." "I'm counting on you to speed the work up." " We have no blueprint." " No blueprint?" "We can't just improvise." "Mr. Morel." "Hello, Mr. Morel." "We've run into a few problems, but our model will be ready for the show in Amsterdam." " Your name, please?" " Maria Kimberley." "It's every man for himself here!" "What a madhouse!" "I see you've considered every detail carefully." "Give me that!" "It's the wrong design!" "Where's the new design?" "We have no measurements for the booth!" "That's your job!" "Call Amsterdam!" "Time's running out." "I have no measurements." "Get me Amsterdam." "I handle public relations." "That's my job." "Go right ahead." "Doesn't he look handsome?" "Morning, sir." "He's so nice." "A call from Altra for the expo organizer." " What's that?" " I didn't say anything!" "Hold the line." "I don't understand." "They're giving measurements, but I don't understand." "Please come." "You need a check, right?" "I just have to call Dad." "We can get by for now." "It's 6:00." "Gentleman, you can't leave!" "We have to finish tonight!" "The camping car must leave for Amsterdam tomorrow!" "That goes in the station wagon." "The boxes go in the truck." "Then say so!" " Don't break anything!" " Just following orders." "How can I work with these people?" " Go on!" " Easier said than done!" "Come on." "More brochures?" "We won't run out!" "See there?" "Check out our "public relations."" " On the roof." " Move it forward so it's level." "Careful, that's my car." "All aboard for Amsterdam!" "What'd you expect?" "You gotta be kidding!" "I don't believe it!" "You speak English?" "Allow me to introduce..." " We've met." " Hello." "So you're our PR?" " To Amsterdam!" " See ya, Marcel!" "You go on to Amsterdam!" "Well?" "Hey, watch it!" "Order some white wine." "Waiter, may I use the telephone?" "I'd like the Amsterdam Car Show." "The manager's wife is at the beauty salon." "Telephone for Mr. Van den Brink from Altra." "That's up and that's down." "Sorry, no." "Other way." "You men figure it out." "Convention center here." "Good morning." "Good morning, sir." "This is Altra calling... to say that we're running late." "No, this is public relations." "Bartender, a glass of Cotes du Rhone, please." "Two Cotes du Rhone." "It's not my fault!" "Here she is." "What's wrong?" "We'll never make it at this rate!" "I'll get a mechanic!" "Fine!" "We'll stay here." " What's wrong?" " It's out of gas!" " Impossible!" " You left the motor running." "Of course!" "I've had enough cranking!" "Don't bother!" "We're out of gas!" "I've had it!" "I'm going to Amsterdam!" "This isn't my job!" "Well, it isn't my job either!" "Out of gas?" "It happens." "You were lucky." "It's a nice day." "Let's see... one gallon." "Here." "Thanks." "You too?" "It's one of those days." "You've been running." "You came through the fields?" "Yes, it's shorter." "Twenty-five francs." "Slim down fast with Slim-Thin!" "The Cyclone 70." "A new raincoat..." "especially made for the sun." "It's the clutch." "All this stopping and starting." "This time it's serious." " Look at that!" " Let's help him." "For the Altra booth." "Will the Altra representative please come to the phone." " Telephone?" " Over there." "Hello?" "Yes, it's me." "What's that?" "I can't hear you!" "Broke down?" "You're still in Belgium?" "...in the show, Mr. Van den Brink?" "This year we expect to have... 530 vehicles on display in four different showrooms." "Damn it!" "It's the most important car show in Europe." "Yes, we've already beat Brussels, and we'll beat London and Paris next year." "Just watch!" "Jeez, look at that!" "They hit my car!" "That's too much!" "I can't leave my car for a minute!" "I'll do something about this!" "Now there's something!" "You see that?" "How many cylinders is that?" "Look at those accessories." "Well-equipped!" "We've got a good spot." "Uh-oh, cross-traffic!" "Ultrachic!" "Careful there!" "That's the scenery for our model." "And our model is the camping car." "You made it!" "They called for you." "They had a breakdown!" "You must call them back." "You call that working?" "Pick it up a bit!" "You're not here to nap." "Get lost!" "Stop!" "What are you doing!" "Don't touch that!" "That thing ran in the Monte Carlo Rally, you idiot!" "I'm public relations." "Get me this number immediately." "I'll take it there." "Get her!" "Information." "You're wanted in showroom No. 1." "Go ahead!" "It'll fit!" "Francois, you watch the booth." "I'm going to the border." "Get out of here, quick!" "The crowds are pouring in." "Sir, why have you come to the show?" "Because I like cars." "I love sports cars." "I trust you won't be disappointed." "This year's models will be an international success." "There's a huge variety of models." "Colors are subdued, with lots of warm tones, and quality and style are uniformly high." "Visitors stream by, their eyes aglow at the sight of these gleaming vehicles, imagining themselves behind the wheel en route to their holiday destination." " Everything okay now?" " It should be." "Try it out." "Yeah, it feels better." "I did what I could." "I didn't have much time." "Good-bye, and thanks." "Commercials... keep you informed." "Are you nuts?" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Quick, the license number!" "I was looking somewhere else!" "It was a French truck marked "Altra."" "Attention, attention." "Immediately apprehend a blue truck with the name "Altra."" "It did not stop at border control." "I'm just the driver." "May I see what you have in back?" "You want my papers?" "The car show in Amsterdam." "Do you really need that?" "Could you tell me where the Altra booth is?" "I don't understand." "Come see the latest model." "No obligation." "I'm a vendor myself." "I have a booth here." "Sorry." "Careful, please." "Have a look." "Very comfortable." "Will someone from DAF please call the operator." "Isn't this a nice car?" "What do you think?" "It's all right." "Yes, this is Altra." "Hold on." " May I?" " Take it!" "Boss!" "It's for you." "It's urgent." " Telephone." " What is it?" "They're still not here." "Our model's not here?" "You should have said so." "What?" "Yes, I'm general manager of Altra." "Police?" "I didn't call the police!" "Hey, where'd you go?" "Stop there." "We must inspect your cargo." "You're all in on it!" "Cops are the same the world over!" "Open that." "I understand." "It's an exhibition model." "Slowly." " Other side." " Hold your horses!" " Watch my feet!" " Come on." "Let me do my job, sir!" "Careful!" "Stop." " Not so fast!" " That's good." "Who does she think she is?" "What's inside?" "Wait a minute." "We'll show you." "You'll see." "It's a standard model decked out for camping." "Keep going." "Carefully designed." "Very practical." " What's under there?" " That's the bumper." "You pull like this, see?" "A chair." "Wait." "Here's a table." "Not bad, eh?" " What's that?" " For coffee, and a cigarette lighter." "Built-in cigarette lighter." "Very nice." "Watch this." "Look." "Soap for your hands." "Let's have it analyzed." "Of course the papers are in order!" "You think I'm a thief?" "I need this analyzed." "May I look in your purse?" "This is customs." "Let's see what's in here." " An atomizer." " Perfume?" "Of course it's perfume!" "Check all of it." "That's what I call a smash-up." "Here are the papers." "This is your citation." "Go with the sergeant." "No, go with the sergeant." "Other way." "Let's continue our inspection, sir." "Watch." "Simple, right?" "Fantastic!" "Very interesting." "You push it back in." "Ingenious, right?" "Come this way." "Get inside, and no tricks." "I'm gonna lose my mind!" "Mr. Hulot, please help me!" "We've got to do something!" "Just throw me in jail right now!" "Yes, sir?" "Authorize..." "French customs." "The papers for the French car are not in order." "The stamp's no good either." "This is no good either." "There's a mistake here too, see?" "With your permission, sir." "See... old permit." "Wrong form." "Understand?" "To the right." "A shower." "I'll show you." "But we need water pressure." "Just a second." "Watch out!" "You'll get soaked!" "Start the engine for hot water." "What's that there?" "This here..." "It doesn't work." " I didn't do anything!" " Explain it inside." "A few more questions, sir." "What's that?" "Oil pressure." "There we go." "Even too hot." "Turn it off." "Come on." "Careful." "Have a seat over here." "Authorization for the camping car." " What's this?" " Come see." "See?" "And that's that." "What's this mean?" "Fine!" "I'll just put down anything!" "It's an overhead light too." "Good idea, eh?" "Mr. Hulot is our designer." " What's in there?" " Ah, that!" "How do you call it?" "I'll show you." "Yes, it's connected." "That's not my area." "It's water." "Sweetheart, are you okay?" "It's so cold in here." " This is awful." " I don't care, baby." "Suspenders." "A little French ingenuity." "Impressive, eh?" "Shall I give you a hand?" "Look at this." "It's for camping." "For God's sake, it's just a twin bed!" "I'll show you!" "Very comfortable, eh?" "Watch this." "Ignition." "Watch out." "Very nice, gentlemen!" "Works well, right?" "It was a big hit at the car show." "See?" "Even a working TV." "I don't know why, but I love this decor." "Hurry!" "To your posts!" "Go!" "Where are they going?" "Maybe we can get going again." "Car..." "leave?" "Car not go." "Stay." "Well, that's that." " The car show is open!" " It's not going anywhere." "Thanks for understanding!" "I don't know what to do anymore!" "I should never have taken this job!" "I've always been a success wherever I've done public relations." "At ease!" "They should have at least tried to get us visas." "We'll never get to Amsterdam!" "Give me your suitcase." "Ready?" "Was there a call from Paris?" "Will someone from Morris please call the operator." "Yes?" "What's going on?" "What?" "The police station!" "Francois, get my briefcase." "Just a moment." "Go ahead." "I'll be right there." "Francois... turn off those birds!" "Where's a taxi stand?" "Out in front." "You can sleep and eat in the great outdoors." "Thank you." "So we can go?" "The papers are in order now." "Hurry up!" "I heard a "ping"!" "Just great!" "Not even tied down, of course." "What happened?" "Why didn't you stop?" "What did you..." "It's nothing serious." "I can manage." "I'll make a phone call." "No, take a left." "Forward." "No, right." "What are you doing?" "We're looking for a mechanic to fix the car." " We need a mechanic." " Let's go!" "Left." "Straight ahead." "Follow me, Marcel!" "No, the doorbell's broken." "Ah, broken." "My wife's hard of hearing." "What's going on?" "What are you doing?" "What is it?" "An accident?" "I'll be right there." "Thanks." " Okay?" " Yes, fine." "I'm all right." "What happened to you?" "That car, of course!" "And this whole thing came down!" "This is terrible!" "Come inside." "You look just awful!" "Anyone home?" " Who is it?" " Go back to bed." " Accident." "Truck." " French?" " Great." " We're going to Amsterdam." " Wanna have a look?" " May I?" "I can fix it." " You can?" "No idea." "You fix tonight?" "Tomorrow?" "No sooner?" "You sleep here." "No, ma'am, you're not sleeping here." "Here I am." "Get the luggage?" "This feels familiar..." "Bring your bags." "A quick housecleaning!" "Go ahead, ma'am." "You'll sleep here like a princess." "Pass me the other one, please." "Mr. Piton will sleep with his mistress." "Maybe I could..." " Good night." "Good night then." "Back to my palace." "Need some help?" "Do you know a Mr. Schriffel?" "Hey, what about me?" "I have his suitcase." "Can you help me?" "Of course I can." " You know him?" " He's my father." " It's nothing." " You're just saying that." " Were you drinking again?" " Just two beers." "That's what you always say." "You want your slippers?" " No." "I'll make up the bed." "I'll have to do everything tomorrow, with your leg like that." "It'll be better tomorrow." "You say that now." "Is this the place?" "Let me help you." " That's your name?" " Yes, my nickname." "Very, very charming." "Peter, we can't stay out here all night." "Be reasonable." "Come on." "It's very late." "Look!" "What a beautiful night, darling!" "The silence, the stars!" "Peter, let me go now, all right?" "I have a job to do." "You understand?" " I love your soft hands." " That's sweet." "Maria, stay here tonight." "I absolutely have to go!" "Let me go!" "You're out of your mind!" "You're all the same." "Get lost!" "Are you fixing the..." "What a mess!" "My wife never straightens up!" "Do me a favor." "Find me one just like this." "Look." "Come now, quickly!" "Please leave quickly." "Come on." "Back up." "Come on." "The chair!" "No, clear out." "This isn't a picnic." "Why'd you put it there?" "And don't tell me how to do my job." "Good morning." " A little baby!" " Say hi." "Quiet!" "Sit." "Go lie down." "Good dog." "Sit!" "Stay right there." "Don't go outside." "You never know with that dog." "You need a tire?" "I've got everything." "Special stuff." "Keep the dog quiet!" "I'll be right back." "I brought a picnic too." "Take the handbrake off and push, guys." "If you speak Dutch, I won't understand a word!" "Makes me want to puke." "What's that mean, "puke"?" "Get in the kitchen and fix us some eggs." " Joke, fix us some eggs." " Coming right up." "Wait a minute, you big baby." "Damn it!" "Mr. Hulot, the phone number!" "This is very serious." "I must call the car show right now." "Maria, what's wrong?" "That takes the cake!" "But what do I care?" "Thank you." "You're so kind." "Come look!" "Astronauts!" "What?" "A spaceship and astronauts." "Unbelievable!" "Amazing!" "Eh, Tony?" "Listen... we have to hurry!" "What's going on here?" "I've had it with you, Marcel!" "All excuses and no work!" "Hey, you!" "What do we owe you?" "Joke, the bill!" "Do you have our bill?" "Here it is." "Darn it!" "Mr. Hulot, please help me." "Two hundred." "To clean..." "What?" "No, nothing." "Marcel, right there." "No, there." "Well, which one is it?" "You've got to..." "Are we going?" "Who's in charge here?" "Pull!" "Keep it coming straight." "My God!" "Give me a hand here." "That's really something." "You've got customers." " The show's over." " Over?" "No!" "No, it was the 6th." " Here's your bill." " Call Francois for me." "What is this bill?" "We didn't use this much electricity!" "What's the meaning of this?" "300,000 francs!" "What's all this about?" "Did you light the booth day and night?" "I'm talking to you!" "Get me the manager." "I've had enough of this!" "Please come with me." "I have no intention of paying this!" "We never even occupied the space." "That car is specially designed, a product of French imagination!" "Let's find a compromise." "You used our facilities!" "Our invention was never even put on display!" "We can't make an exception, sir!" "Those are our rules." "You're in the wrong." "You read the rules and approved the contract." "We can work this out." "Trust me." "I'll handle this." "Francois, you could have tried to help." "Just a moment." "Hulot!" "I'm fed up, and you know what that means." "Take a cab, a plane, a train..." "I don't care!" "Here, take it!" "You're fired!" "Easy, ladies and gentlemen!" "Yes, we're taking orders!" "We're a big success!" "I'll walk with you."
