- Hot stuff! Hot stuff! Must bolster our sales, Bertrand, must beat the big drum, make a parade, draw the attention of the mug. It's hot! It's hot! Let’s attack eachother in the papers, write to ourselves, reply to ourselves, retort, insult ourselves and above all advertise ourselves... - You believe the public hasn't the key to such bunkum? - Forget that, it's like our locks, everybody has the key except the public.
