Robert Macaire is reading a large poster while a man man is laughing next to him. The caption reads: "To anyone with capital to lose. For a hundred francs, one and a quarter centimes' worth of food every twelve hours... How's that for a revenue!! New principle. We distribute the interest in centimes per hour... How's that for an invention!!! Guarantees offered to shareholders. The manager will take the company's money and will deposit some of it in the bank... how's that for a bank!!! Capital... We won't tell you, you have to see it to believe it... if you want industry, how about that!!!!!"
