Pierre Morhange:
What about the solo?
Clément Mathieu:
Which solo?

Oh. Your solo. No, there's no solo. You don't have a bad voice but no-one's indispensible.

If I tell you, do you promise not to tell anyone?
Clément Mathieu:
Promise.

I was going to use it to buy...
Clément Mathieu:
To buy what?
Corbin:
My Montgolfier balloon.
