CHIRAC: Allow me to say that tonight, I am not Prime Minister and you are not the President. We are two candidates who are equal and who are submitting ourselves to the judgement of the French people. You will permit me to call you Mr Mitterrand.
MITTERRAND: But you are absolutely correct, Mr Prime Minister
French presidential debate, 1988, cited in P. Short, Mitterrand: a study in ambiguity (2013), 461
