"Episode 10:" "Drets Ltd." "Morning, Export." "Alain." " What?" "Do you have to?" " Eh?" "Do you have to wear that cap?" " Yes, Free." "Frankie said so." "You don't think so?" "Yes, Bucky will love it." " I think so too." "But I have to make a ponytail first." "Linda." " Let me do something crazy." "I left mine at home." " Frankie's got some left." "Have you all gone crazy?" "Come on, it's fun." "Let's call it team spirit." "There he is." "Morning, Bucky." " Ouch." "Bucky's on the floor." " Where is he?" "Desk 3, Alain is there too." " Okay, thank you." "Come on, join us." "I'm not putting that cap on." "It marks you as the odd man out." " Well that's too bad then, Frankie." "Why don't you put that cap on?" " I don't want to." "Yes, he's here." "You're not supposed to wear that cap here." "Sorry, I thought that the group..." " You were mistaken." "Here's another one." "You're not supposed to wear that cap here." "No?" " Please take off your cap." "Of course, I'm sorry." " You don't have to be." "You showed initiative, albeit the wrong kind." "I also had another initiative in mind but we should talk about it first." "Yes, I have to see Michel first." "Come on, guys..." "Take off your cap." "See?" "I told you so." " Go and gloat somewhere else." "Frankie made me do it." " No." "Yes you did." " No." "Yes you did." " No I didn't." "Come here." "Both of you." "Drets." " Don't put that cap on." "What?" " Don't put the cap on." "Take it off." "Morning, Guido." " Hello, Bucky." "Are you working?" " Ah, yes." "Was that Michel?" " What?" "Were you talking to Michel?" "Why?" "I wanted to ask him something." " What?" "Was he wearing his cap?" " Yeeeees." "You wanted to warn him not to?" " Yes." "Frankie, we'll talk in a minute." "Hello, Bucky." " Morning, Michel." "That's unfortunate." " What?" "Some people were wearing their caps." "I hoped you'd join them." "I can put it on now." " No, it's all right." "No problem." "Stay there." "What are you doing?" " I'm working on a plan." "Winnetou attacking." " What?" "Winnetou." "All those arrows." " Ah, Winnetou." "Yes, of course." "Explain it to a layman like me." " I wouldn't call you a layman." "No, and you can't either, but please explain." "You've got five minutes." "I feel so stupid." "Why?" " Because of Bucky's cap." "He looked at me as if he thought:" "'You too.'" "No, he didn't." " He was really disappointed." "Come on, Linda." "Stiff upper lip and all that." "I think it will increase the efficiency." "At the depot and at Stock Management as well." "But I haven't talked to them yet." "Did you dye your beard?" "A rinse?" " Some colorizing shampoo." "Did it yourself?" " Yes." "Well, my wife." "Good, isn't it?" " Yes?" "It's better." "Thanks, Michel." " You're welcome." "Right." "Let's begin then." "Would you wipe the board clean?" "I need some room." "Of course." "Do you feel it, Alain?" " What, Frankie?" "Electricity." "Ideas are being exchanged at a higher level." "I think these those two are a perfect match." "They're hitting it off." "You're probably sorry Bucky wasn't here when you sat there." "I don't believe you." " Neither do I." "It's true." "I like doing my job." "I've got everything I need and I've got my work cut out for me." "I think we'll need a lot more than your work alone to turn this bunch into a real team." "A lot more." "In order to shape a team out of a group, I need a captain." "A this moment that is Drets Ltd." "How many people work for that company?" "Nine." " One." "And that's you, Michel." "Fine, you've got a company." " Look at that." "You're the manager." "Your capital is 100 billion brain cells." "Those nine people are subcontractors." "What they want is motivation, clear-cut decisions and inspiration." "In return Drets Ltd." "Will get..." "foundations." "If you don't get this interaction:" "Michel Drets Is Fucked." "Do you get the picture?" "I get." " Hold on to it." "That's mine, I'll need that." "But even more important is who stands next to you and above you." "That's your network." "This network pulls you up." "This is where it gets interesting." "The wider your network, the higher it will pull your company." "This means less pressure on the floor and more efficiency." "In the long term Drets Ltd." "Will be pushed up from below." "And if this works:" "Michel Drets Is Flying." "It's a circle really." " Exactly, Michel." "How big is your network?" "What, Sir?" " Sir isn't in." "How many people do you know here?" " A few." "How many people know you?" "Nobody whom I talked to seems to know who you are." "Could be." " No, it can't." "I explained why not." "Have a look at your mail." "That's your identikit." "I've already filled in most items." "I would like you to tell them who you are in one sentence." "Why, if I may ask?" " Always that 'why'." "Just do as I say." "Take your time." "I'm meeting Frankie." " Frankie?" "Where are your ideas, man?" "You wanted to suggest something?" "Yes." "It's..." " Come on, I'll get some tea..." "Of course." "Even better." "Trivial?" "Where are they going?" " No idea, but he's got his Trivial." "And please don't call me any more when Bucky's here." "Who are you, Michel?" "Bucky, there's warm water here." " Warm but no boiling water." "You need boiling water to make tea." " I didn't know that." "A lot of people don't know that." "It enhances the aroma." "Bucky, you know everything." "I'm glad Michel has got you to work with." "I learn a lot from working with Michel too." "Michel man." "I learn from everybody, from you too." "You had an idea?" "Something I used to do with Michel and Guido." "Oh my God..." "I'm not answering." "Answer the phone." " What's the matter?" "How would you describe me in one sentence?" "Who am I, in one sentence." "I don't know." "Why do you ask?" " Always that 'why'." "Say something." "But Michel..." "A friend." "He's coming, I'm hanging up." "Come on, Michel." "Are you getting anywhere?" " No problem." "It's fine but I've got some problems with that sentence." "What have you got?" " I'm putting some words together." "Friend." "Did you call Guido?" " No." "I hadn't expected 'friend'." "It's a strong statement." "It might help if I knew what this is for." "You're sending this to everyone in the company." "Everyone?" "Sales, Marketing, the depot, the cleaners..." "Cynalco needs to know there's someone behind this paper." "I want it in half an hour's time." "I'll dye your beard a bit." "The foundations." "Are you happy with your subcontractors?" "About whom?" " Your people." "Ah." "Yes, of course." " About everybody?" "Things could always be better." " That's what I think too." "That's why Drets Ltd." "Has to fire someone today." "What?" "What did he say?" " No, Alain." "Bucky asked me to keep a low profile." "He'll talk it over with Michel and he will give the go-ahead." "But I can tell you the outlook doesn't seem too bad." "What do you think?" "Gosh, Bucky." "I don't know what to think." "That's to be expected but it's part of the job." "So sudden." "Impossible." " No." "It's not, Michel." "But not today." " Why not?" "Frankie, come here." "The train is at the station." "You're the engine-driver." "You make decisions and you can make your first one now." "Come on in." "Frankie told me you used to have a quiz." "Oh no." " Trivial Time." "Frankie wants to organize one for the whole floor." "I let you decide." "The whole floor?" " For the team spirit." "That's a pro, Frankie." " That's a pro then." "Will you give the go-ahead?" " Yes, sure." "What if someone doesn't want to?" "You can't force people to give up their breaks for a quiz." "What will you tell them?" " That it isn't compulsory." "But then you'll create quizzers and non-quizzers." "I didn't think about that." "We'll soon know who the sourpusses are here." "Thank you, Frankie." "It was a bit intense but your train is rolling." "Try not to fall off." "Is it compulsory?" " No, you don't have to participate." "Will you?" " I don't know." "Yes." " My father has got a good set." "I'm the quizmaster." " Yes." "Are you joining in?" " If I can." "Sammy." " That's me." "Hi." "Bucky and Michel approved one of my suggestions." "It's called Trivial Time, a daily quiz where everybody..." "Not everybody, but as many as possible, will play." "I invite you for the first one in the kitchen during our break." "What?" " Michel, I'm not participating." "Guido, you have to supervise it." " What?" "I have to focus on other stuff." "But I've got loads of orders to take care of." "Nothing's moving anymore." "Why did you sanction it?" "Try looking further than your desk." " I've sat there too." "I learned you can't please everybody." "You have to make choices." " I've made my choice." "I made it because I thought I could count on you." "If it turns out I can't, then that's most deplorable." "Is it possible that I haven't received anything yet?" "Affirmative." "It's a lot more difficult than I thought." "I doubt if this is a good idea." "I didn't hear that." "What have you got?" "Nothing?" "Come upstairs, immediately." " Guido, I've got to go upstairs." "Please." " Michel, I'm..." "Hello, I've got five contestants." "Two refusals and Linda is out." "Here you are." "What's this?" " A list of people not participating." "I don't want it, and that's not the idea." "No problem, I know who they are." "Listen:" "I'm not participating, up to five, no quarrelling and no argueing." "That's four checks." "You won't regret this." "You're not on his list." "He takes it for granted." " He didn't ask me." "That's what I'm saying." "Gosh, Free." "A quiz." " Great." "You'll have to be real good to beat me." "I'm a knowledge man." "I know nothing about everything and everything about nothing." "Nixon?" "Watergate." "1-0." "You have to be quick." "A shame Liesje didn't want to come." " She doesn't like quizzes." "Women and competition..." "Here you are." " I'm talking to Free." "You've got to save up your breaks to be able to quiz." "Sit down and work." "Now, please." "What do you think?" " There's a friend... behind the paper?" "That's it." "Nice, surprising..." "I like it." "It's in your mailbox." "You can start networking." "You want me to send it to everyone?" " I know what I'm doing, believe me." "Isn't it exiting?" "Can't you feel the adrenalin flowing?" "I feel something." "Try to enjoy it." "It only gets better." "Ah, fine." "Do it, Michel." "What?" "You're finished." "Michel, what's that?" "My identikit." " Your what?" "Networking, something you never did." " Did everyone get that?" "But why?" "Because I need a network." "Brilliant, Michel." "Bucky?" " The two of us." "Now everybody knows you." "Hi, I want two pounds of potatoes." "Potato head." "Yes, of course." "Thank you." "Well, that's one contact." "You'll get there." "You're busy, we'll leave you to it." "This it not like you." " Maybe it is." "I need to work now." "Gommers from the lab." "Do you fill out tax papers?" "No, I'm establishing a network." " Pity." "Thanks." "I heard you were establishing a network." "I'm volunteering." "Thanks." "I'll think about it." " We could have lunch together." "Just go away." " Yes, all right." "What do you mean 'friend'?" "Why don't you answer then?" "It's nice and warm, Alain." "That was meant for Alain." " I'm fine here." "You're welcome to it." " Attention please." "Welcome quizzers to our first rendezvous." "Most of you are here, that's nice." "The absentees, except for Michel, are at fault." "Everybody ready?" " Ready." "The first question is a pink one." "What's the name of Blackadder's naive sidekick?" "Tiktiktik." " Baldrick." "And were off." "The first point goes to Alain Vandam." "Cool." "I paid it out of my own pocket." "They told me to give the receipt to you." "That's the right procedure." " That was four months ago." "Four months for 6.5 euros." "Is that normal?" " No, it isn't." "A friend keeps his promises." "Right." "What was your name?" " Marijs Depaepe." "Thank you for bringing it to my attention." "I'll call you right back." "At last." "Your phone was busy." " Who is this speaking?" "Tony Paillard, Maintenance." "Have you got a sec?" "The next question is a green one." "Which bird lays the smallest egg?" " Colubris archilogus." "Wrong." " It probably says hummingbird." "You can only give one answer." " That's the same." "The card is the reference." " They're the same." "No arguing." "Frankie sets up the rules." " You can leave." "Thank you, Alain." "I can't help with everything." " But you can talk to me." "You don't have any questions." " I sit alone here all day." "It's nice to get a mail like that." "It proves they haven't forgotten you." " Good." "I'm working on a transformer cap." "What do you call someone who always follows you around?" "A stalker." " Indeed." "Free was first." "You get this one, Free." " Is the sun shining, Michel?" "What?" " There are no windows here." "No daylight." "Is the sun shining?" " It's a bit cloudy." "Tony, I've got to ring off." "Are you leaving?" " I've got work to do." "Can I come and say hello?" " No." "Why don't you come here?" "I've got some nettle soup left." "I'll think about it." "Leave me alone." "What's the singer of the Sex Pistols called?" "Johnny Rotten." " Point for Alain." "His real name?" " No." "John Lydon." " Point for Free." "You can leave, boy." " No, Frankie, we're almost there." "I only want to hear questions and answers." "A nice fast quiz." "That's what I promised Michel." "Those who can't live with that can leave." "I'm also looking for a friend." "That's been a long time." "Bucky isn't in, leave your message after the beep." "Hello, Bucky." "Luc, did you see that?" " What?" "This." " What now?" "This." " Who's that?" "Drets from Administration." "Everybody got it." "I'm fed up with it." "What's his number?" "597." "How much meg is he using?" " Nearly a gig." "Come on..." "Busy." "I'll go and have a talk with our friend behind the paper." "Mister Clean." " Good." "Your first point." "One, three, four, nought, one." "You should be ashamed of yourself." " Why?" "I asked questions you used to know the answer to." "Get a grip on yourself." "Green question." "No, I don't want your nettle soup." "Leave me alone." "Come on." "It'll get out of hand with that quiz tomorrow." "Sorry, Guido." "It went perfect." "Ten minutes and they all had a great time." "And I won." "Back to work now." " Yes, Frankie." "Michel, thanks for supporting me on this." "It meant a lot." "You're welcome." "How's your network doing?" " It's growing." "You focus on the important things." "I'll keep them in hand." "Marijs Depaepe." "You called me." " I'm working on it." "Are you Drets?" " Yes." "Could you leave, please?" " Are you talking to me?" "You can't tell me." " No." "Frankie." " It's your office, isn't it?" "Leave us alone for a minute." " No problem, Michel." "Sorry." "Good morning." "Do you know who I am?" " From IT." "And you're using our network to send your picture around." "Is there a problem?" " Yes." "Do you know how much bandwidth you're using?" "A lot and I'm fed up with it." "It's for my network." " Your what?" "I want to meet people." "Then put an ad in the paper but don't touch my network." "Hi, Bucky." "At last." "Is your phone off the hook?" " It's getting out of hand, Bucky." "What do you mean?" "I've been called for trifles, laughed at and given a roasting." "Come here straight away." "Free, is that you?" " Alain?" "Sure." "Everything all right?" "That one can go for a swim." "Would you rather have me shut up?" " No, it's all right." "Do you sit on the seat?" " Of course." "I put some paper on." "I read in the newspaper once that..." "What was that?" "No second thoughts." "You're doing fine." "We should have known people wouldn't know how to react." "But everybody's positive upstairs." "You're name is being mentioned." "And delegate." "Don't think you have to solve everything." "Make your people work for you." "Yes, Fien." " Mr Nallaerts wants to see you." "Okay, Fien." "Thanks." "By the way..." "What did Mr Nallaerts say?" "I'll hear it in a minute but I wouldn't worry." "This is rubbish." "What is this and who thinks of such a thing?" "Is this his own idea?" " It seems so." "He told me this morning there's not enough respect for Administration." "Maybe that's what this is about." " Not enough respect?" "And he wants something like this?" " I've got my work cut out with him." "Keep him on a short leash." "I don't need no bellyachers." "And if he acts up tell him I'm on your side." "I will." "'There's a friend behind the paper.' My God..." "Hi, Free, it's over there." "But why are you calling me?" "Michel Drets gave me your number." " Ah, Michel Drets." "6.5 euro, that can't be difficult." "If it isn't difficult then he can solve it himself." "I'm not putting up with this." "Hi, guys." "Everything all right?" " Perfect, Bucky." "How did the quiz go?" " Fantastic." "I won." " Yes, Alain." "Congratulations." " Thank you." "Did you participate, Guido?" " No points." "That's not much." "Thanks anyway." "Here you are." " What's this?" "People who didn't attend." " I don't need that." "How's the captain doing?" " It's been busy whole day." "He'll have to get used to that." " He's so ready for it." "I'll go and have a look." "Alain, have you got a sec?" " Not now, Sammy." "Maybe later." "When is later?" " Later." "All right, later." "What did Mr Nallaerts say?" "He didn't like it, did he?" "I knew it." "I knew it." "No, Michel." "He didn't like it." "He thought it was... fantastic." "This is the kind of idea he expects from his people." "Yes." "And you are the first one." "Your train is gathering up speed." "I really enjoyed working with you today." "We trust each other and I look forward to more." "See you tomorrow." "Sorry I doubted you." "Thank you." " You're welcome, Michel." "A fine man." "A very fine man." "Michel, my man." "4.34 pm." "It hasn't been an easy day for me." "That's the least I can say." "I've got the impression Bucky's happy with me." "I've learnt a lot today." "It seems Mr. Nallaerts is happy too." "I'm very glad..." "Drets." " Michel, Tony speaking." "Tony, I'm far too busy right now." "What are you doing?" " I'm in the middle of a meeting." "No you're not, Michel." " Yes I am." "You're not in a meeting." " And how would you know?" "Because I'm right behind you." "I know where to find you." "What's that?" " My identikit." "Your what?" " It's called neckworking, Guido." "Neckwork?" "Neckworking."
