With a capital of hundreds of millions, with thousands of millions of shares. We'll smash the Bank of France, we'll sink the bankers, the charlatans ... we'll beat everyone! - Yes, but what about the police? - Don't be silly, Bertrand. Whoever heard of a millionaire being arrested?" - Bottom edge closely trimmed.
