Straighten that cap, Anatole. The pleasure's mine, Herr Schneider. The strap's busted. These are not acceptable. I fully agree. Education? I studied reading and spelling. I started my primary school. I almost... Education, zero. Now it's exploded. Good morning, Cicero. Call the goddamn plumber! This afternoon, Monsieur Gustave? Without fail, Frau Liebling. What in hell is this? Not now. Family?
