Franchement, le type a loupé sa carrière ! Il aurai dû faire comique, comme Atkinson ...
Avec un stetson, ça peut ressembler à ça :

Well, partners, we're out here wranglin' with our creditors, both them banksters and bondholders, tryin' to lasso up a solution for our mountain of debt, 'fore it stampedes over us in the next 18 months.
The yammerin's been as cheery as a cowpoke at a rodeo. We're playin' nice under the watchful eye of a mediator, like a campfire bringin' folks together. And I reckon everyone's hitched their wagon to the same star. Shoot, we even managed to squeeze some liquidity from them same bondholders and banks recently.
Seems like everyone's dustin' off their hats to find a way outta this here mess.

You rode into town just a few moons ago, but Atos been ridin' a rough trail these past years. Shares done shriveled up like a raisin in the sun, losing over 90% in seven years, and more than 80% in just one year. Why would anyone want to wrangle up more cash for Atos now?
PAUL 🤠
Well, doggone it, Atos is still one heck of a bronco. A top dog in the IT corral, and that ain't no tall tale.
The outfit's got some mighty fine cowhands. 'Bout 95,000 of 'em, last I counted.
And can you believe it? 80,000 of those hands are engineers, which is rarer than a three-legged jackrabbit in these parts. What sets Atos apart is them 2,000 patents. That's rarer than hen's teeth in the IT world.
So when you round up all that Atos can offer, from IT trickery to cyber-fortifications, or even some fancy computing and digital doodads, the outfit's sittin' pretty with its clientele. And that, partner, is what gives this here outfit its real value.
Sure, it's carryin' a load of debt bigger than a bull moose, but we've got ourselves a plan, and it's comin' down the chute real soon.

So what else might be ridin' alongside these bondholders in the roundup? Might we see some assets headin' for greener pastures before next week's hoedown? Or is that off the table?
PAUL 🤠
We've rounded up a whole herd of ideas that include every last steer in Atos' brand. Now, we'll just have to see which calf tries to join the stampede. Some reckon on keepin' the whole dang herd together.
One of them notions might come from one of our bigwig ranchers. And there'll be others from our bondholders, who seem keen on keepin' the whole posse together.
But we ain't about to turn up our noses at any idea that comes our way, even if it means partin' ways with some cattle.
BLOOM 🐮
So, you're not shootin' down any ideas at this here stage?
PAUL 🤠
You bet your boots we ain't. We're open to any and all notions, ready to rustle up some solutions quicker than a tumbleweed in a tornado.
BLOOM 🐮
Even a spinoff?
PAUL 🤠
Well now, we'll just have to wait and see. Can't rightly say if a spinoff's the magic beans.
We'll have to weigh it up good and proper, within the framework we've laid out. Ideally, we'd like to keep the whole herd together 'cause it's worth more than gold. But we ain't shuttin' the barn door on anyone bringin' their own lasso to the rodeo.
BLOOM 🐮
Will this grand ol' hootenanny save Atos?
PAUL 🤠
Well, I'll be hornswoggled if Atos ain't a sturdy old nag, like I done told ya. It's bound to ride off into the sunset. I reckon we'll rope us up a plan, and the outfit'll be chasin' them sunbeams for the long haul.
BLOOM 🐮
So it's gonna make it?
PAUL 🤠
You bet your bottom dollar it's gonna make it, partner.
En redevenant sérieux, pas drôle son job quand même !
