He's expecting you.

Good morning.

If you'd be so kind.

Here are samples

of our plastic hoses.

Plastac has

sole marketing rights.

There's green hose for lawns,

and here's our latest...

Remy in Lyon

is inquiring if we can deliver.

Of course.

Tell Mr. Hulot.

- Pichard, how are you?

- Oh, you know...

a bit stiff today.

Pichard, my right-hand man.

If you'll excuse me, sir.

Pichard, show him

around the plant.

My new car's here.

Sir, let me show you

our new production line.

If you'll come with me.

This way, please.

After you.

No, to the right.

Good morning.

Here she is.

Nice lines, eh?

How many cylinders...

Don't worry about cylinders.

You'll never have to open the hood.

Let's talk instead

about comfort.

And just look at this finish.

And the workmanship!

The door closes with one finger.

Same for the rear.

Look here.

Now that you've seen

all that...

The suspension can't be beat.

I'll be right back.

Keep an eye on No. 5, okay?

Here, polymerization

is accelerated by a catalyst.

I don't know what happened.

You almost have enough

to open a hot-dog stand!

Old man Arpel's going

into the sausage business!

Better get rid of that.

Cut the comedy.

The trunk can hold

several suitcases.

Here's the spare tire,

and the radio antenna.

The trunk can be

extremely useful.

Let me give you the papers.

Here's the registration

and the keys.

Everything's in order.

I showed him the entire plant.

He was very impressed.

- Thank you for coming.

- Not at all.

I must speak to you

about something.

- Excuse us.

- I'll be back.

Look what he's making.

It can't be! He did this?

Your signature, sir.

I'm sorry, but...

Send Mr. Hulot here at once.

Not a word about the car

to my wife.

It's a surprise

for our wedding anniversary.

You can count on me.

Turn the new dial, Georgette.

It's him.

Mr. Arpel's home.

Open the gate.

Happy anniversary.

What's all this?

It's a surprise.

It certainly is!

You just walk

between these posts.

No need for a key.

Just what you wanted, isn't it?

- Happy?

- Wait.

- Happy anniversary.

- A new car!

It's wonderful!

It's so beautiful.

Wait, I'll get in with you.

Daki!

Come here.

It had to be him.

He has to pass through again.

Come here, Daki!

Here he comes.

Daki, come on.

It's not working.

What do we do now?

- Daki, go back.

- If you yell at him...

We have to get out.

Let's call Georgette.

- Madame?

- Open the door.

The dial on the right.

Not that one.

The top one.

We're locked in the garage.

In the garage?

Georgette, listen.

- See the two lights?

- Yes, madame.

To open the door,

just step through the beam of light.

No, I can't!

I'm terrified of electricity.

There's absolutely no danger.

Just walk in front

of the electric eye.

The electric what?

I'll be electrocuted.

Just close your eyes.

Be brave!

Walk this way.

Come on.

- This is ridiculous!

- There's no need to be afraid!

It scares me.

I can't help it.

Close the gate.

At least that's not electric.

Someone jumped!

I see blood!

Don't go in!

Roger!

See? I told you.

- You'll get sick.

- Bastards!

Stay out of this.

Stay there.

We could go

to the Sexy Club.

I prefer Constantino

and his nice music.

Hey, wait for us!

Proud of yourself, ain't ya?

Just look at you,

driving all by yourself!

Hey, keep it down!

You'll wake

the whole neighborhood.

Who do you think I am?

Don't offend me.

Keep your money.

We had a nice time,

didn't we?

And what an orchestra!

That's our sofa!

This can't continue.

It's getting ridiculous!

He's a bad example

for Grard.

- Now, listen.

- What?

All he ever talks about

is his uncle!

- You're just jealous.

- What?

- You're jealous of him.

- Jealous? Me?

- Look at him.

- Try to be fair.

He has to go.

Hulot, Pichard needs

a sales rep in the provinces.

You'll be perfect.

My mind's made up.

What a mess!

Turn the dial!

You forgot your gloves.

You forgot your gloves.

You're leaving?

Leaving?

Too bad.

Mr. Hulot.

Good-bye.

How about a red stripe?

It could use it.

Grard!

Let's go!
