Thanks.

Come have a drink.

Just a quick one.

Come have a drink.

Gaston, we're waiting.

Come on.

Gaston!

Bobette!

Georgette, be careful.

I've got it, ma'am.

My husband's on his way.

Charles!

The guests are due,

and nothing's ready.

- What do I owe you, my friend?

- 650.

Then you shall have them.

Keep the change.

Charles, take this tray.

Hurry!

Oh, never mind.

Georgette, come here.

Follow me.

They're here!

No, we don't need anything.

Charles,

handle that, please.

What is it?

Please don't insist.

You heard my wife.

We don't need any rugs.

We have all we need.

What?

It's our neighbor!

How good of you to come!

I hope I'm not early.

Come in.

We're expecting the Pichards,

the Walters,

and my brother.

Grard, come say hello.

Your right hand, dear.

Now I must go and...

Go right ahead.

Did we put on

our best little tie?

Are we a big boy?

Are we a good boy?

I know some nice stories.

And I can make

lovely paper birds.

Charles, your guests.

Ah, Pichard. I'm coming.

Mrs. Arpel...

Mr. Arpel...

Hello.

The flowers.

- How kind!

- Plastic. They never wilt.

They do smell like rubber.

Come see the house.

This is the fountain.

Walter, good to see you.

This is Pichard,

my department manager.

Please sit down.

I'll tell your mother.

We produced 131,000 feet

of plastic hose this month.

An impressive figure.

And we don't even have

our new equipment yet.

Interesting.

Follow me, Georgette.

Refreshments, my friends.

Help yourselves.

Georgette, the gate.

It's my brother.

We waited for you.

Come, Walter.

Let's talk on the terrace.

So what's new?

Stock prices look good.

Yes, certain indexes

show solid gains.

And listed securities

aren't the only active shares.

You two are too serious!

Come have

some delicious tidbits.

The ladies are asking for you.

- Pichard.

- Yes, Mr. Arpel?

Good old Pichard!

We've worked together

for quite a few years.

I had an idea this morning.

Business is good.

Production is up.

Come here.

This is my brother-in-law.

Mr. Pichard, my associate.

To continue with my idea,

my brother-in-law needs

to settle down

and have a goal in life.

I'm sure you understand.

It's time

he got set up in life.

So I plan on bringing him

into the factory.

Pichard,

you know how I trust you.

Go ahead.

This is the living room.

Oh, my!

It's kind of empty.

It's modern.

Everything's connected.

Grard's room,

and the kitchen...

but I can't let you see it.

- You must!

- Oh, you're terrible!

It's a triumph!

My dears,

this is my little kingdom.

For the dishes.

For the laundry.

I press here for vegetables.

Sterilization.

Ventilation.

Charles, Mr. Walter.

- He thinks of nothing but the factory.

- Just like my husband.

After you.

Very well.

I'll lead the way.

I'm right behind you,

Mrs. Arpel...

step by step.

Here we are again.

Let's all sit down.

- This is my brother.

- No, it's not me...

Our little neighbor.

Don't mind him.

He's a bit absent-minded.

Mr. Pichard

next to Mrs. Walter.

I'll be with you in a moment.

Some tea?

My dear...

won't you sit

on the other side?

You'll be more comfortable.

Come sit with us.

Our charming neighbor,

and my brother.

Charmed.

There's a chair for you.

Next to our friend.

Stick this in the ground.

Very practical.

My husband's hiring him

at the plant.

Some gin with lemon.

Very refreshing.

I'll leave you two.

You can be

her gallant escort.

I know a good one-liner.

Your sister

is truly charming...

and an amazing housewife

with exceptional abilities.

She's extraordinary.

And Mr. Arpel is remarkable

in every respect.

Authoritative, yet relaxed.

They're a model couple.

- Don't you agree?

- What?

I said

they're a model couple.

What a joy

for a woman to be able...

to run a home, have a goal,

have someone who...

But how I go on!

I forgot to pour your tea.

Bring your cup closer.

Oh, I'm so clumsy.

And when I say clumsy...

it's no exaggeration.

But never mind.

That orangeade

is indeed refreshing.

The ground's all wet here.

Let's move to where it's dry.

Where did it come from?

My fountain!

It's not working.

- Georgette!

- It wasn't me.

Don't just stand there.

Help me.

I'm sure you must have

fiddled with it.

Mr. Arpel tells me your husband

has a very important job.

What's going on?

Turn it off, Georgette.

No, the other way.

Keep calm, now.

It's probably just a leak.

I'll have it fixed tomorrow.

Boss, we can't leave it

like that.

- What can we do?

- You'll see.

Trust me.

I know what I'm doing.

Grard, get the toolbox.

My poor Pichard.

Let's move somewhere else.

Careful, Georgette.

I'll take the fragile items.

Come along, everyone.

I'll lead the way.

- Onward!

- Here we go.

- Let's take the central path.

- What an adventure!

We'll find a quiet spot.

Follow me.

Georgette, your umbrella's

blocking the view.

Come sit down here.

Georgette, stay there.

Mrs. Pichard... here.

And now the table...

lengthwise.

Everyone to the left.

We'll never fit!

Then you take over.

Mrs. Pichard, take the table.

I'll guide you.

Around this way.

Now we're on the right path.

Watch your step.

Stay out of the way.

Wait.

My brother will help you.

The chair. Help us.

Thank you.

You know the Champarts?

They remodeled

a Directoire bungalow.

It's just adorable.

I almost forgot tea

for our dear friend.

It's for your brother.

My escort

must have a match.

He's so tall!

I'm saved.

Search no longer.

He's truly attentive,

which is rare these days.

Admit it, gentlemen,

gallantry is dying.

Men think only of business.

Your brother's disappeared.

Where did he go?

Ah, there you are.

I haven't forgotten you.

Pichard?

I'm right here.

Workers first!

You should look after him.

You even make him work

on Sunday.

Darling, come undo my tie.

Hurry up.

I can't wait.

Let me help.

We can't let you do it all alone.

No, you stay

with your guests.

Such hard workers!

It won't be long now.

It's fixed!

Turn it on now.

Hurry!

Run to your controls.

Turn on the water.

My jacket.

Here you are.

It'll work. You'll see.

I don't understand.

I don't get it.

Wonderful water pressure!

You know who that is?

A friend has come for me.

An extraordinary horseman.

Pyramus!

Did you hurt yourself?

He's hurt.

This is no time

to play Indians.

My garden!

There he is!

Pyramus!

Grab the little one.

He's fierce.

Well done.

Congratulations.

Don't stand there gawking.

Help me.

Very funny!

You sure you're not hurt?

Not at all. Good-bye.

My poor Pichard,

you're a mess.

Someone had to do it.

It's fixed now.

Good-bye.

See you at the plant.

Your gloves.

It's nothing.

But you got our flowers?

That's what's important.

Your glass.

Go away!

Hide!

See you tonight.

Come on, hurry.

Would you hold this?

I'll get the door.

Go on.

It's a surprise

for my husband.

For our wedding anniversary.

It must all be working

by tonight.

Your client.

The director's here.
