Entendons nous bien !
Bertrand va se faufiler dans tous les groupes de la bourse et chauffer les actions du Bitume bitumineux, il les fera mousser, il dira qu’elles s’enlèvent, qu’on se les arrache, qu’elles montent comme des ballons……..Vous, Baron, qui avez un certain chic, vous allez en acheter à 20/00, 30/00, 100/00 d’augmentation. je les ai toutes en portefeuille, on ne pourra donc pas vous les livrer, nous les vendrons ce que nous voudrons et la providence fera le reste.
(Bertrand) En avant, marchons
Contre les dindons,
Volons……. etc.

Translation:
Let's be quite clear.
- Bertrand is going to sneak in and out of the groups at the stock exchange and polish up the tarred bitumen shares, he'll make them sparkle, he'll say they're being snapped up, snatched up all round, that they're rising like balloons... As for you, Baron, you have a certain 'savoir faire', go and buy some for 20%, 30%, even 100% more. I've got the whole lot in my wallet, they won't be able to deliver any, we'll sell them for what we like and providence will do the rest.
- (Bertrand) Forward march against the dupes, let's cash in... fly... etc.
