A senior for a master's thesis?

Yes. The examiner's evaluation
is appended right there, in fact.

Um...he had a good point there
about why I didn't get full marks.

As your work experience,
you have given law firm...

Huttemann. Yes, that's right.

I started already
while I was studying,

so I didn't have to take out a loan.

Right. Good for you.

Does the law firm... Huttemann.

..have any special areas
of expertise?

Tenancy disputes,
housing transaction disputes

and building contract disputes.

And now the ¤64,000 question.

Why you, and why human rights laws?

Human rights are the foundation
for everything.

I have always considered human being
to be the foundation of it all.

The subject of my thesis was the
legal semiotic rhetoric of the...

In the international
court observer minutes

during the Nelson Mandela trial.

Yeah, I see it here.
A fine subject, really.

Rather theoretical.

OK, good.

We have your details. Thank you.

I'm sorry, could you tell me,

how did this go?

Well, er...unofficially then...

..this world of ours is quite rough.

We're looking for a warrior,

and I didn't quite find a sort of
warrior attitude in you, you know.

Yeah, yes, I understand.

Thank you.

So...it was a Mr Idestam
who founded Puuhiomo

in 1865,

that later became Nokia.

And this is actually a funny story,

because almost from day one,
Nokia has been a wood company,

a timber company, turning to
new horizons along the way.

..Electronics.

Leaving behind a sort of ancestry.

Hmm. But are we ready to start soon?

He will be here shortly.

Huh.

Hello, friends.

Mr Brenton S. Halsey
from James River Company.

Pleased to meet you, sir!
Nice to meet you.

So...let me begin...

..by telling you that I'm
very sorry to inform you that...

..that there has been
a miscommunication.

And it is very tragic

that it has led to you good people
coming to Finland in vain.

In... What do you mean?

You see, although your offer
is well thought of,

Nokia's business model
is a conglamerate

of various different industrial
and technological companioes

that rely on the multifaceted

nature of its different sectors.

They're all interconnected, you see.

What are you getting at?

To be blunt, there is no possibility

for us to agree to the
selling of Nokia paper for now.

Nokia is a paper company,
and it always will be.

And now, if you'll excuse me,
I must leave.

Er...I'm sure Mr Saarinen here

will show you around the city
and treat you well.

Of course, yes. Yes.

Goodbye, gentlemen.

while we wait. Of course.

Mm-hm.

OK, I'm ready.

And let's clear the shot, please.

Sir, sorry.

OK.

Look at the camera, please.

And a smile.

Yes!

Nice!

One more. Smile.

Excellent!
