The Maid

Woman's voice: Wake up, you gorgeous example of male physionomy.

Go on, wipe the sleep from your dozy little peepers.

Get up and smile! It's time to face the day.

Your life begins anew each morning.

Celebrate the dawn of new opportunities,

- fresh horizons, bold adventures. -

Rise to the occasion.

Get up, Anthony Wayne.

It's 7:00 a.m.,

and a multitude of life's surprises awaits you.

Wake up, you gorgeous example of male physiognomy.

Go on, wipe the sleep from your dozy little peepers.

Get up and smile! It's time to face the day.

- - Your life begins anew each morning.

Celebrate the dawn of new opportunities,

fresh horizons, bold adventures.

Rise to the occasion.

Get up, Anthony Wayne.

Good morning, Elisabeth. Yeah, it's me.

Listen, I feel really badly about what happened last night,

so I thought I should be mature enough

to call and give you a chance to make up.

Hello?

She needs space.

- Morning. - Man: Morning.

Morning.

- Morning. - Woman: Oh, Ms. Chantrelle,

your daughter would like you to call her back.

- I will. - She says it's urgent.

Tell her I'll call her back as soon as I can.

Has Laurent Leclair's office called?

No, not yet.

Find out when he's expected to arrive in Paris.

Oh, and find out where he's staying.

Ask Pierre Meyer to come into my office.

- Yes. - Ugh!

Is this for me?

No, they're for me.

Ah. Of course they are.

- Secretary: Line three. -

Hello?

- Three-pointer! -

- Ah! Mrs. Wellington. - What are you, nervous or somethin'?

No, no, you just caught me off guard.

Come in, please. How are you this morning?

How would you be if you had to clean your apartment?

Yeah, well, I tried to straighten up for you a little.

Yeah, sure. You couldn't straighten up

if somebody put a broomstick up your ass.

- It'll be extra this week. - Well, why should this week be any different?

Have a nice day, Mrs. Wellington.

I suspect you know why you're here.

I'm happy you took the initiative.

Maybe we should put some time aside--

find out about one another...

Nicole.

You should know that in keeping

with standard industry practice

regarding confidentiality in the terms of your contract,

we do expect you not to take employment

with another financial institution

for at least 30 days from today.

What are you talking about?

You're fired. Didn't I mention that?

- We're from personnel. - Nicole: Hi.

Ms. Chantrelle, Mr. Leclair arrives at the end of the week.

We're here to help you with your adjustment.

- He's staying at the Regina. - I'm fired?!

- - What is this sexist shit?

Mr. Olivier wants you in his office immediately.

- I'm on my way. - Wait a minute. You like me!

- We need the keys to your Porsche. - My Porsche?

You like me. What's going on here?

Your daughter on your private line.

Tell her I'll call her back in 10 minutes.

Anthony: Good morning, boys and girls. Don't get up.

Still smokin', huh? Someday, someday.

How are you, kid? Richard, still not talking to me, huh, kid?

Someday you'll learn to play handball.

How are you, Clark? Roy? Michael?

How 'bout those Mets, huh, Pete?

Next time you wanna make some money, maybe you'll listen to me.

- Elisabeth, I gotta talk to you. - No.

Ay-yi.

Good morning, you outrageously exploited, wonderful creatures.

Now, now, I know you think you're just a gang of capitalist pigs

engaged in the squalid pursuit

of making other capitalist pigs very rich,

but what you really are, in fact, is the cavalry

who have fought through the long, dark night very bravely

to protect this little outpost, which is our client,

from being overrun by a giant gang

of unscrupulous capitalist pigs.

- - Do these numbers really work?

- Yeah, they work. - My man.

And now, with this new ammunition you've given me,

I intend to end this war once and for all.

Luke, saddle up, we're movin' out.

I can't believe you've done this without asking my opinion.

When Walker resigned, we had to make a fast decision.

We wanted to strengthen the mergers and acquisition team immediately.

I'm sorry if it has upset you.

Well, it has.

I mean, I'm the one who has to work with him.

Do you mind telling me who it is?

Olivier: Anthony Wayne.

He's head of Mergers and Acquisitions

in Biggi Bank, New York.

- Do you know him? - Nicole: No.

Olivier: He has a reputation for unorthodox methods.

Am I to believe from your lack of interest

that your client is giving up

and will sell their shares to the Weir Corporation

- at the price we have offered? - On the contrary, Mr. Hampton.

I was just waiting for you to run out of steam.

And now that you apparently have, I want you to understand the following--

number one, this is a family firm.

Number two, they wish to remain a family firm.

Number three, if you do not cease and desist immediately

from trying this corporate raid on this family firm,

this family firm, in turn, will be forced

to attempt a corporate raid on your firm,

and you, sir, will be out of a job.

Gentlemen, thank you.

Olivier: He gets the results his client wants.

He's tough, he's sly.

And when he gets his teeth into something,

he won't let go.

He's been highly recommended...

and we want him.

- Are you firing me? - Of course not.

You're very highly valued.

Let me be honest with you.

One of the reasons Walker left

was that he couldn't get along with you.

I can run this department, C.P.

Nicole, we're making a big investment

- in bringing Wayne to Paris. - Hmm.

Yeah, for the Weir Corporation, it's like ordering Chinese.

They pick a number, they eat their fill,

and you can bet in a couple of hours they'll be hungry again.

What?

Who told you I was looking for a new job?

Don't be ridiculous.

You'll be the first to know. Right. Bye-bye.

Speaking.

All right.

Nicole: When does he start?

Olivier: If he accepts,

he'll be out of the market for 30 days.

He'll join us in a month from now.

Elisabeth: I just don't trust Leclair.

We can't get behind this deal.

No, if you'd listen, you might have

a better understanding of the problem.

That's the point.

Think about how we can do it and call me back.

- For you. - What do you need?

I need to talk to you, Elisabeth.

- I'm in the middle of something. - Me, too.

I'm in the middle of talking to you.

Hurry up, Anthony. I don't have time for this.

No, listen to me seriously. I've got a big decision to make.

Well, you're in trouble, then,

as you're incapable of making a big decision.

It's going to affect you.

No, it won't, Anthony.

Sorry, pal, but I'm not waiting around for you to grow up.

Getting up in the morning is a big decision for you.

I've moved on.

And the best advice I can give you is to do the same.

Thank you, Liz. You've been a great help.

- Stop calling me, Anthony. - What do you want me to call you?

You're not funny. Put those flowers back.

Everywhere you go, you make a mess.

Au revoir, Elisabeth.

Olivier: I want you to do your best to work with him.

- Just make him feel comfortable here. - Oh, Ms. Chantrelle--

How are things going with Laurent Leclair?

He'll be in Paris soon.

We have a good relationship with him.

We don't want to damage it. Look after him.

See he gets everything he needs.

- Ms. Chantrelle-- - I'm not a hostess.

Your daughter says she needs you at home right away.

- Oh, right. - I think you better call her.

- Girl: No! - I said, go to your room and clean it up now.

- No, I'm not going to my room! - Go to your room!

Girl: I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!

Sitter: Don't speak to me like that!

What is the problem here?

Mummy, I'm so glad you're here.

Marie, what is the problem?

There's no problem really, Mummy.

It's just that she's a horrible, mean person

and I don't like her and she's not very good at her job.

- Go to your room! - No, I don't want to go to my room!

I ask her time and time again to clean her room!

You never do anything!

- Right. Back to your room! - Marie: Leave me alone!
