Do you work for the competition?

Unbelievable.

Let me show you.

This is completely crazy...

Understood?

Is that you?

-Yes, it's me.

What are you doing here?

-I'm working.

Why?

-My election campaign is expensive.

Bribing a candidate's

no small matter.

I'll throw you out then.

-Not possible.

Why?

-I'm with the union.

Already?

Go to work you.

And quickly!

Don't talk to my employee

like that. Brute!

Get lost.

I'll give you an easier

machine, darling.

Go to machine 12.

Is it going too fast?

Would you like some tea?

-Yes, if they all get some.

All the others?

-Yes, doesn't that make sense?

Lontine, tea for everybody.

-The whole factory?

Everybody here.

How many sugars?

-Did you forget already?

You're not here for the money.

-True.

Do you want to sabotage

the factory?

Do you think people would

vote for me then?

Why then?

She burnt herself.

Stop working.

I'm alright.

Why then?

Are you having lunch

with your workers?

They're my buddies.

Why are you here?

-The debate on TV.

I refused.

-Accept it. -Never.

So you wouldn't mind a strike?

Factory occupied, all that?

You wouldn't do that,

would you?

I'm your wife.

I know things.

You wouldn't dare.

-Comrades!

I have a few things to tell you

about the management of this factory.

You have nothing to say.

Alright, I'll be there.

Then I go back to the hotel.

See you in front of the camera.

I have faith in you.

You'll make her look like a fool.

Don't worry.

You'll make that old

conservative bite the dust.

I know what to do.

Besides, he's still my husband.

Would you like to

take your places?

Attention. Start of live

broadcast in 3 minutes.

Your collar. Collar.

There we go. My program consists of

Second:
enough jobs.

-Stop, it's not your turn.

Is it my turn? It's about

economic growth...

...and the quality of life.

-My program, my program...

First of all, enough jobs.

Secondly, enough jobs.

Thirdly, enough jobs.

Stop that.

We're not on air yet.

...all about more jobs, but we can't

grow at the expense of nature.

We need a new kind of growth.

Controlled, humane.

You talk like a woman

who's never worked.

You're a tyrant and a despot.

My program consists

of three points.

Can nobody shut him up?

-Yes, I can.

You destroyed our house.

-For the good of our company.

You destroyed my winter garden.

Ruined my vegetable garden.

You broke my dreams

and stepped on my heart.

Stop that.

-I didn't say a thing.

Your books.

-Which ones?

The real ones.

-They're hidden. -I know.

My program consists of 3 points.

Point 1:
enough jobs.

Secondly, enough jobs.

-All the shoe boxes.

Here. Examine it all.

Don't touch it.

Don't touch anything.

The program starts.

Nature's Defence Party

One picture, please, mayor.

Mrs. Daubray, ne Lacaze,

has voted.

Mr. Daubray... has voted.

Bernadette, Bernadette, Bernadette...

Bernadette, I couldn't help myself.

I voted for you.

And I voted for you.

Then our votes

are useless.

It's looking very good.

If you look at the percentages...

the turnout was high.

We're coming first.

Good news.

Silence. We're coming first.

We're ruined.

We're ruined and so are you.

The cheque bounced.

It bounced?

-It bounced. A bad cheque.

Your Japanese are broke.

My machines.

-Scrap, junk. Junk!

This is impossible.

Prefect, the elections...

-They're no longer important.

A cookie? A cookie?

Victory!

Let's drink to our

future mayor.

Mrs. Lacaze!

Hello, yes? The result.

It's your wife.

She won by one vote.

My vote.

Are you still here?

No. Shall we close?

Yes, it's over.

Wait.

We'll give them

one last spectacle.

To the boiler.

I won't be the mayor.

I don't like power.

I don't understand.

I didn't do it to be mayor,

but for my husband.

Can I take your place?

-With pleasure.

Your husband is blowing

everything up.

Guillaume! Guillaume!

Bernadette!

-Guillaume!

Bernadette, my love.

Get me out.

Get me out. I'm boiling.

-Do you have time for me now?

I'm starting to boil.

-One condition.

Which condition?

-We get rid of the factory...

...move to the province

and have goats.

Never.

-Alright. Goodnight.

Darling, come back.

I'm boiling, boiling.

Do you accept?

-Yes.

Yes, darling.

I was going to

suggest it myself.

Guillaume.

Guillaume.

Wait, this is an idea

that I had.

Look.

Send in a sheep.

Make this go round.

The sheep's shorn in there...

...and the wool

comes out here.

Up there it knits.

And there... the sweater.

Look. Isn't that beautiful?

How beautiful you look.

And it gets even better.

I painted the sheep.

In there. Careful.

The wool falls out here...

then up there... and...

...a sweater in two colours.

I sell these, make a fortune

and buy the mountain.

And then?

-I build a factory.

No.

-Yes.

No.

-Yes.

No,

-Yes.

No.

-Yes.

No.

-Yes.

No.

-Yes.

No.

-Yes.

No.

-Yes.

No.

-Yes.

NEIN!
