Frenchy : [on her company's expansion] That's right, yeah. We've been planning it for months. Yeah?
Frenchy's Lawyer : In order to do that, you needed a bank loan. Are you aware of that? Quite a substantial loan.
Frenchy : Get to the point. What?

Frenchy's Lawyer : Yes, but unfortunately, your accountants are in Venezuela.
Frenchy : This is all so confusing!

Frenchy : Bankruptcy? Bankruptcy? I'm not up to the B-words yet!
