What are you going to do?
Go down there and kill everybody, I guess.
Oh shit.
Wait here. If you have to use this, use it. Don't choke. Okay?
... you should have seen your father, standing there all covered with spaghetti sauce. He looked like such a dope.
I told the guy I told the guy, this isn't even my order.
Not yet. But we'll find him.
Dance?
This is Persian, if I'm not mistaken.
Very good. It's sixth century B.C. Do you like the period?
I adore it.
Call me, if you'd like to see some of my other pieces.
I'd like that.
Well, what's the point of waiting?
I agree.
So your clients want something for the lobby of their new corporate headquarters?
That's right. They want something... dramatic. I spoke to a number of people who said you're the one to see.
Let's see... that you can read ancient Sanskrit without having to sound out the words. And that other dealers and archeologists don't like you much.
Those wimps. It's because I use * my diplomatic contacts to export cultural treasures from countries which tell them to take a hike. I told you to move those crates an hour ago. Come on guys, let's get going.
Do you like my tomb? The museum * financing fell out, so I thought * your clients might be interested.
It's certainly... dramatic.
Especially in this light. This is the only light they had then, * so I like to study it this way. I love this place. I love all ruins.
Is that why you got into this business?
I've always been a collector at heart. When I see something I want, I have to have it.
And you have a reputation as someone who gets what she wants.
Yes.
Yes what?
Uh, yes, it is important.
Hello, Harry.
Juno. I wish I could say it's a pleasure to see you again.
This is Samir. See if you can guess his specialty.
Oral hygiene?
Not exactly.
You think I care about their * cause? Or yours? Not at all. * See, America is on top now . . * . but so was Rome, once. All * civilizations crumble. One nation succeeding over another. What does it mean in the long run? The only important thing is to live well. And... living * well takes money. *
You're damaged goods, lady.
Did you tell her about us, Harry?
There is no us, you psychotic bitch.
Sure. Say that now.
Janice, how many years have you been buzzing us in?
Ten, Mr. Gibson.
And you still reach for your piece every time.
Yes sir.
God! You have no idea how much that turns me on. I've never had the courage to say this before but... I love you, Janice.
Yes, sir.
I should have gone to the police, I suppose.
But you didn't. Why not?
I don't know. I guess... I wanted to see what would happen.
Is this a common thing for you? Cheating?
No! Never!
So, it was your first time.
I wasn't cheating!
My husband is a good man.
But he's not exactly ringing your bell lately, right? I mean
Look, if you ask me everything twice, this is going to take a really long time. And I have to get home to my family.
You're not going anywhere.
Switching to subvocal. Gib, you copy?
It's Talkradio. You're on the air.
Harry! Where are you!
In the helicopter.
Harry? HARRY?!
What?
What's this for?
For Dana, schmuck. Bring your kid something. You know. The dad thing.
Got it. Nice touch. Okay, pick me up at eight. The debrief is at ten hundred.
What a team. See you at eight.
Yep. Sleep fast.
Thanks dear.
Here, check these out.
Son of a bitch!
What?
Kids. Ten seconds of joy. Thirty years of misery.
She knows not to steal. I've taught her better than that.
Yeah, but you're not her parents, anymore, you and Helen. Her parents are Axl Rose and Madonna. The five minutes you spend a day with her can't compete with that kind of constant bombardment. You're outgunned, amigo.
See, kids now are ten years ahead * of where we were at the same age. You probably think she's still a virgin
Don't be ridiculous. She's only how old is she?
Fourteen, Harry.
Right. She's only fourteen.
Uh huh. And her little hormones are going like a fire alarm. I * say even money that physicist on * the bike is boinkin' her. *
No way. Not Dana.
Okay. Okay. Denail ain't just a river in Egypt. She's probably stealing the money to pay for an abortion.
Will you just open the door! *
Twenty here, fifty there... I figured my wife's boyfriend was taking it.
I thought you moved out.
Well . . . I moved back in. My lawyer said it would give me a better claim on the house in the property settlement. Don't change the subject... you owe me two hundred bucks.
Harry Tasker. One zero zero two four.
Albert Gibson. Three four nine nine one.
You better watch it. She might file on you for sexual harassment.
In her dreams.
It doesn't mean anything. She buys antiquities for Khaled.
Nope. The art buys are in a separate ledger.
It's all set up... ghost phones and fax, all the usual stuff. You have a suite at the Marquis Hotel under Renquist. Okay, reality check. Go.
Hi, I'm Harry Renquist. I own a
She's importing stuff from all over the mideast.
She could be moving money, guns. Anything.
What? It's on the way. She says she's got something for me.
Yeah, right.
Station wagon?
Uh huh. Want me to lose them?
Helen's going to be pissed.
See, that's the problem with terrorists. They're really inconsiderate when it comes to people's schedules.
