THE SCHOOL FOR POSTMEN
Article 16, paragraph 5 of our manual.
We must ensure delivery of all air-mail to the plane
that leaves exactly on the dot of ten thirty.
So, after this intensive training, your delivery time,
which is now 2 hours and 50 minutes,
will be reduced to 2 hours and 25 minutes.
Keep it up, Sir, keep it up!
Listen. Ride at normal speed for a letter.
Good, good. Now - when I say - telegram!
Good, good. Very good.
Now, to dismount. Quickly – one, two, three.
At my order,
pay attention, bicycle steady - one, two.
Bag - one, two.
Find the letter – one, two.
Hand it over - one, two, three, four. In time! In time!
(they repeat procedure)
Hey, hey!
It's not easy when one speeds up. Ask them!
Silence!
Silence, I said!
Now, from this moment, you have graduated from
the Study Centre of the Distribution of National Correspondence.
From now on, you must honour the Postal Services' code - letter or no letter.
Gentlemen – you may now go.
Take this.
Thanks, boss.
- And for you. - Thanks, boss.
Goodbye, boss.
Next bicycle!
Greetings!
Hello, gentlemen!
Well, do you want it or not?
Hello!
What is it?
Oh, that is for my brother, next door.
Right-oh.
Until next time.
Anyone there?
What's wrong with this one? It's sticky.
It's not my fault.
Hello, all. Anyone here?
Hey, watch out! You've got a letter.
Postman.
Good bye.
- Are you Francois? - Yes.
Lucky I found you. I have a letter for you.
Here. Take it easy down there.
For the butcher.
Well, you...
At least those won't hurt your feet.
Ah! What is it? What's going on?
My bicycle!
Look, there goes the postman's bike.
He knows his route well, it's been so long.
He's stopping at the cafe.
- How are things today? - Ah, old friend.
What would you like?
- A letter for me? - Yes.
Ah, very good. You'll stay for a quick glass?
Just a drop.
Here, try this. See what you think?
It's good stuff, right?
Mm?
Yes. It's good.
It's not easy!
Eh, the plane.
See you next time!
