- Good evening. François Picard.
- You are early.
3:43:43
- We said eight-thirty.
- No, we said nine o'clock.
3:43:45
I am very sorry.
If it inconveniences you -
3:43:47
- No, come in, now you are here.
- Thank you.
3:43:58
- Sit down.
- Thank you.
3:44:00
- Could I give you something?
- No, thanks.
3:44:05
First I want to thank you
for permitting me to come.
3:44:07
Don't mention it.
Yours is a very good newspaper.
3:44:11
Not like some of these...
3:44:16
But I don't know exactly
what you want of me.
3:44:18
Nothing extraordinary.
3:44:20
I am just enquiring
into the workings of NATO.
3:44:23
Since you are one of its officials...
3:44:26
Do you mind if I sketch you
while we talk?
3:44:28
It is one of my specialties - sketching
the people I am interviewing.
3:44:32
- The newspaper likes it.
- Go ahead.
3:44:40
Just relax, Monsieur Jarré.
3:44:44
I am relaxed.
3:44:46
Good.
3:44:47
I only wonder what questions
you want to ask.
3:44:52
They are very simple. For example...
3:44:55
You are a civilian official of NATO.
3:44:59
How does your authority
compare with the military?
