"Chairman, excuse my intrusion." "It's about the survival and future of this company." "Chairman, this is an internal matter." "This is a crucial matter on which Mr Maltard and I have opposite views." "Please take a seat." "Mr Maltard, the other day you upbraided me." "You said I was a menace, I believe." "I say you're behind the times and your time is up." "You're a dead weight, Mr Maltard." "You're clueless." "Everything goes over your head." " Chairman..." " I want to hear what he has to say." "You're obsolete and have no vision." "You're a man of inaction." "A pen pusher." "Too bad you want to keep Sogetec in the past." "Too bad you don't see computers are the future." "While our competitors change, invent and innovate, we..." "Well, we verify." "We..." "We make sure, we stall, we improve." "But we don't create." "You see, Mr Maltard," "I allowed myself to dream." "I dreamt we were the first to invest in IT." "I dreamt we created a network." "Not only to hold meetings, but also to reach our customers, to connect with our partners and our allies, and to keep an eye on our rivals." "Mr Maltard, I beseech you, if you want Sogetec to succeed, you need to move with the times or else we'll all fall behind." "Two hundred and fifty employees on the street." "Inertia would be costly." "The meeting is closed." "Mr Mercier!" "Mister Mercier." "Why are you not further up the ranks of this company?" "We"..." " Mr Maltard..." " Maltard is a dolt." "You know that." "We both do." "I was looking for his replacement." "I've just found him." "You start next month." "Meanwhile, take some time off." "Tell me...are you never apart?" "You and...it?" "No." "Why, you don't like it?" "That's to say..." "You're not Indiana Jones, but it suits you." "Don't change a thing." "Dear friends, dear friends." "Dear friends," "I am pleased to present your new finance director." "Please welcome him!" "Thank you." "No, no." "OK, all right." "All right, thank you." "Right, listen up." "I don't do speeches." "But I do promise you that from now on everyone will be treated equally." "No more tongue-lashings." "No more public humiliations." "This is now a free country, we're friends and fellows, co-workers eager to innovate and move forward." "We're here to help one another." "A month ago I promised change." "From now on, no more basement!" "It's all in here!" "I also want to thank Chairman Desmoines for his sound judgement and to give him the last word." "Thank you, Mr Mercier." "To all of you who work at Sogetec," "I have only one thing to say." "Once we've all had a drink, it's back to work!" "Cheers!" "Granny!" "Granddad!" "So good to see you." "I did it, pop!" "My proposal went through!" "MY Pay has gone up." "And Maltard is gone!" "Maltard got the push!" "I have my team, my budget, I'm the boss!" " Well done!" " Mummy, it's all thanks..."

"Allow me to present myself:" "Paul Lefort," "Elysée presidential staff." "I saw you on St Mark's Square and I noticed your hat." "And?" "I assume you've seen the initials inside?" "Yes." "And so, unless I'm mistaken, it doesn't belong to you?" "I assume you know who it belongs to?" "If you don't mind," "I will keep this hat." "I'd like to give it myself." "We're at the Hotel San Luca." "Daniel Mercier." "Of course, Mr Mercier." "Good day." "Signore?" "I'm supposed to meet the President." " Frangois Mitterrand." " This way."

"You were going barmy over that hat." "I'll show you barmy!" "You're both barmy!" "He's expecting you." "Mr President, we created a crisis unit code named "Hat"." "Yes." "Do we retain it?" "Disband it." "And the agents following Mercier and the others?" "Dismiss them." "And the file?" "Destroy or archive?" "Destroy it, of course." "Lefort!" "Private archives." "Private archives." "He's elegant, charming." "It's mine now." "You're mine now." "Mine!" "Well, I like it." "This hat is in grave danger!" "You haven't worn a hat for a while." "Take off that silly hat!"
