TRAFFIC
Sir, I'm ready to go whenever you are!
The chief!
Where's the foreman?
Here I am
Since you're the head of this shop...
I want you to hurry this job up!
We got no sketches!
We can't improvise!
Mr. Morel!
I'm glad to see you. We got problems!
But our model will be ready for the Amsterdam show
Who the hell runs this shop?
Gimme that! It's the wrong one
And the new sketches?
What's the stand's size?
The size of the stand!
That's your job. Call Amsterdam
- Hurry! - I'm wasting time!
I must know the size!
Get me Amsterdam
That's my job!
Go ahead!
- What'd you say? - Me? Nothing!
Wait, I don't understand a thing
I don't understand the sizes
You must come
A check?
I'll call Dad. No problem!
We're OK for the time being
It's 6:00!
Please! You can't stop now!
You must finish tonight!
The camping car must go to Amsterdam!
I can't take it all!
It goes in the car!
The boxes, in the truck!
How would I know?
Careful not to scratch it!
I take orders, that's all
- Easy, no? - For easy, that's easy!
Where do I put my bags?
On the roof
Careful! It may not be dry!
Off to Amsterdam!
Yes! So?
But it can't be true!
This is our salesman
You're doing public relations?
To Amsterdam!
You better give me a hand with the wheel
Go on to Amsterdam and look after the stand!
Be careful!
See for yourself!
May I use the phone?
I want the Amsterdam Auto Show
Probably not free!
Altra speaking
I want to tell you we'll be a bit late
I'm public relations
Red wine, please
Now what?
I'll get a mechanic
Yes, go find a mechanic
- What is it? - No gas!
Impossible!
I filled up before we left
And I have to do the cranking!
Never mind!
We're out of gas
I'm going to Amsterdam! Get out of this yourself!
What am I to do?
It's not my job either!
- Out of gas? - On the road
You're lucky it's a nice day!
You, too?
You've been running?
In the field!
It's shorter
There!
- 24 francs. - Thank you
Cyclone 70!
The new raincoat for sunny weather!
It's the clutch!
We stop, go, stop, go...
I think it's serious
Phone call for the Altra representative!
Yes, it's me
I can't hear you too well
A breakdown? You're still in Belgium?
How many cars do you expect to have in the show?
We expect...
530 cars
We've put them in 4 different halls
The Amsterdam show grows each year
It's already bigger than the Brussels show
It'll be bigger than Paris and London...
next year, I promise
Take it easy! That's our decor!
It's for our model
The Camping Car!
They already phoned you
A breakdown!
Call them!
Dial me this number, at once
I'll use the other line
Go ahead!
Ladies and gentlemen, we're here at the opening...
of the International Auto Show in Amsterdam
François, watch the stand
I'm going to the frontier
The visitors are pouring in
Sir, why are you here?
I hope you find one
Friends, last year's visitors were mostly Dutch
This year the whole world's here
There's a wide variety of styles...
and the colors are lovely...
and give the show a lot of class
I see a lot of visitors whose eyes sparkle...
as much as the cars do
Many can see themselves at the wheel already...
rolling down the holiday highway!
- OK? Can we go now? - Yes, it oughta hold
It seems better
I did all I could
You can't work miracles!
G'bye and thanks!
Advertising keeps you informed!
I'm just the driver
Us... Amsterdam... auto show!
Excuse me, can you tell me where Altra is?
Sorry, I don't understand
I'm a manufacturer. I have a stand
Yes, this is Altra
Hold on!
Take 'em!... Sir! Mr. President!
It's for you! It's urgent!
What is it?
- They're not here yet. I'm alone. - You should've told me!
Yes, I'm the head of Altra Paris
I didn't ask for the police!
Where are you?
Stop here!
We must inspect your load
It's a frame-up!
Cops're cops, the world over!
I understand you
Careful! It's a show model!
We'll show it to you
It's a regular car but...
specially fixed up for camping
So it's called the Camping Car!
Very well-planned and very practical!
Under there?
The bumper!
You pull it out and it's a chair!
Same thing on the other side!
Not bad, huh?
That's coffee
Cigaret lighter!
Here's something else!
Soap! For washing your hands!
My papers are in order!
You think I'm a thief!
It's perfume!
He sure got bashed!
Our inspection continues!
Hulot, get it!
See? It's simple, huh?
A barbecue!
You push and there you are!
Come over here!
My nerves are shot!
Mr. Hulot, help me!
Do something!
Alright! Put me in jail at once!
French customs authorisation!
See? It's our permit
I'll show you... We have to wait for water pressure
Turn on the hot water motor
What's that?
Sir, just tell me what that is
See? The pressure!
It's coming
It's too hot. Turn it off
Have a look
There!
You see?
What does declared value mean?
Fine, I'll put down any amount!
It can be a ceiling light, too!
Mr. Hulot, our designer, is full of ideas!
His head's loaded!
That's the kitchen
Here, I'll show you
Yes, it's connected
Well, that's not my department!
It's a bed for 2
I'll show it to you at once!
Very comfortable!
There!
See? It works!
It was a big hit at our auto show!
See? The TV works!
I don't know why, but I love the decor!
Where do we sign?
Maybe we can go now!
Car B, level...
We have to learn Dutch, too?
The show is open!
Thanks for understanding!
- I don't know what to do! - Really fine!
I've never seen work like this!
With me as public relations, it's always a success
They could at least give us our visas!
Orders and counter-orders!
We'll never get to Amsterdam!
Your suitcase!
On the other side!
- I can't take it all! - Ready?
You talked to Paris?
What's going on?
You're at the police station?
Hand me my briefcase!
Let me write that down
Yes?... Rosental... I'm on my way!
Turn off those birds!
Where's a taxi stand?
Out front
You can eat and sleep in the country
Thanks. We can go now!
I heard a ping!
There!
Look at that! Not even tied tight!
Why didn't you stop?
What're you up to?
We need a garage to fix the car
We need a mechanic
Let's go!
Follow me, Marcel!
Broken!
Madam, your husband had an accident
An accident!
Anybody here?
Good evening
- A truck accident. - French?
From Paris, going to Amsterdam
Yes, take a look
I'll fix it
Tonight?
Not before?
You sleep here
You sleep there
For you!
I've had enough of bags!
Each carries his own
No stairs!
That's cute!
It's easy to do the cleaning!
Go right in! You'll sleep like a princess
Hand me the other one
It's nice!
I forgot him!
Piton'll go beddy-bye with his mama...
- and maybe... - G'night!
Yeah... good night!
Do you know Mr. Shriffel?
I have his suitcase
- Can you help me? - I can!
- Know him? - He's my dad!
Here?
Let me help you
- Your name? - My first name, yes
Very charming!
Peter, we can't stay here all night
Be reasonable!
It's getting quite late!
What a beautiful night!
The silence!
The stars!
Peter, let me go now!
- Why? - I have a job!
I love your soft hands!
Stay here tonight!
I must go!
Let me go!
You're crazy!
The Altra car's here?
Do me a favor?
Get me the same thing
You see?
Yes, right away
This is not a picnic!
A little baby!
Nice doggy! Nice doggy!
Stay here!
I'll be back soon
You found it!
Yes, just the same
I brought the picnic lunch
Speak English and I'll understand everything!
It's lousy!
Lousy! What's that?
Altra!
Hulot, what's the phone number?
It's urgent
I must phone the auto show
What's wrong?
I've seen everything!
It's not my problem!
Piton's there!
Thank you so much!
Come see the astronauts!
The what?
The astronauts' rocket!
Incredible!
Look at that! Great!
If you want to get to Amsterdam, hurry!
What's going on?
I'm furious with you, Marcel
Lots of excuses but no work!
How much do we owe?
The bill?
Mr. Hulot, please help me!
Something to clean with please!
What?
No, nothing
There, Marcel
No, here!
Where? Here or there?
There?
Marcel, here!
I don't see a thing!
No that's all!
Ready to go?
Who's running things around here?
There! It's closed!
No, it was the 6th
Here's the bill
Get me François!
What's this bill?
300,000 francs of electricity!
What does this mean?
I won't hear of it!
What does this mean?
You lit the stand day and night!
I'm talking to you!
Get the director! Tell him I'm fed up!
You think I'll pay this?
We didn't occupy the stand!
Our car is the result of French imagination!
It was designed by us!
Our invention wasn't even shown!
You didn't see the Camper!
Rules are rules and you are wrong, sir
That's the rule!
We'll find a solution
I'm sure
I'll see to this myself!
You could've at least helped me
I follow orders. I don't make decisions on my own
Hulot, I'm talking to you! I've had enough!
You understand?
Here's for your taxi!
Here's for your train or plane!
Here's for you!
And thank you very much!
Wait a second!
We accept orders!
It's a success!
Take this gentleman's name!
I'll go with you
