There is some humor in Monsieur Lazhar and in all my other films, but this one I'll try to make a real comedy from start to finish.

I see that you are not sure of what you should do. You must remain steadfast, Monsieur. It would be a great wrong for you to leave and an irreparable scandal to the town and the Company. If you were to abandon the house, I do not think people would ever be willing to welcome us back. Fear not calm will follow the storm, and perhaps soon.

Holland is a dream, Monsieur, a dream of gold and smoke-smokier by day, more gilded by night.

Que me voulez-vous?' said he in a growl of which the music was wholly confined to his chest and throat, for he kept his teeth clenched, and seemed registering to himself an inward vow that nothing earthly should wring from him a smile. My answer commenced uncompromisingly: - 'Monsieur,' I said, je veux l'impossible, des choses inouïes.
