Amsterdam?
No.
Constantinople?
No.
You've never been in Constantinople?
No!
But you <u>have</u> been in Venice?
Yes!
Let me tell you, Venice <u>can't</u> <u>compare</u> with Constantinople.
But
I don't care <u>what</u> you say! In Constantinople at least you have streets, sultans, pashas
And harems ... ?
<u>All</u> <u>kinds</u>.
The representative of the police wants to know how much money you had, M'sieu Filiba.
I had exactly twenty thousand lire. I had just cashed a traveler's check and put it in my wallet.
Why did you let this man in, M'sieu Filiba?
Well, he knocked at the door. You see, I was expecting twouhtwo business associates.
And then what happened, M'sieu Filiba?
I said, "Come in." And there he was. A finelooking man with a moustache and long sideburns. He said, "Good evening. I'm the doctor." I said, "Doctor?" He said, "Yes, the doctor. I came to see about your tonsils."
The representative of the police wants to know if there is anything wrong with your tonsils.
No!
<u>Niente!</u>
That's just what I tried to tell him. Well, one word led to another. He really was a very charming fellow. So we talked for about ten minutes.
What did you talk about?
About tonsils.
<u>Tonsili!</u>
So I said to myself, "All right, if he wants to look at them, let him look at them. No harm in that." And then he said, "Say ah." And then I said, "Ah." And that's all I remember ... And when I woke up, I still had my tonsils, but my pocketbook was gone.
still studying the vase. Mariette appears. He turns to her.
Where did you find it?
Is this what you mean, M'sieu Laval?

in doorway. He bows, returns into office; door shuts.
Eleven o'clock!
A man in love, completely shaken. He sits on bed, thinks, then takes telephone slowly, decisively.
With the compliments of Colet and Company!
He bows, goes. Door shuts behind him.
M'sieu Laval, Madame would like to talk to Mademoiselle Gautier for a moment.
Very well, Jacques.
Pardon me, m'sieu. Madame Colet would like to see you in the living room.
At once, Jacques. We'll continue later.
M'sieu Laval, M'sieu Filiba would like very much to see you.
In a moment.
on staircase; from Gaston's point of view. He stops.
Yes, M'sieu Laval?
Madame has changed her mind. She'll be down in a minute.
M'sieu Giron is downstairs.
Tell M'sieu Giron I can't see him now. Impossible! And, Jacques. Dismiss the car! Madame is not going.
Yes, M'sieu Laval!
What? I may lose it again? But I haven't found it yet! I'm sorry. Goodbye! Yes?
So you lost a handbag, madame?
Yes.
And it had diamonds in the back.
Yes.
And diamonds in the front.
Yes.
Diamonds all over.
Well, have you found it?
No! But let me tell youany woman who spends a fortune in times like these for a handbagphooey, phooey, phooey!
Captain...
Reilly, what the hell happened out there? Why didn't you call for backup?
Sir, I
Take it down to the Bomb Squad, Artie
I'll do it.
What?
It's detonation cord, for a bomb.
I'll do it.
Goddamit, Reilly
Look, I saw these guys, I can i.d. them.
I know you're anxious to get back but... just stay out of homicide's way or I'll have you classifying fingerprints, understand?
Yes, sir.
Sir...
I thought I told you
What's this?
Report on the case so far.
You know after a shooting I would normally take your badge and weapon, but Glass called in already and confirmed it was clean.
Yes, sir.
But from now on, any leads on this case go to Pluchinsky. He's primary investigator and you are unofficially assigned to the Bomb Squad... you and your new friends are not to be playing detective any more. Got it?
Yes, sir.
She's refused to say a word to anyone. What made you think you could get her to talk?
I didn't. But I had to try.
Glass, sorry about Pooch, he was a good man. We don't have time to give you a break right now, we're going ahead and
My God, you're going to use her, aren't you?
Glass, you're to stand by with your team.
I promised her she'd be safe.
It's our only option.
It won't work, he'll know it's a trap...
Reilly, you're done for now. What the hell were you thinking directing the Bomb Squad Team into hot pursuit. They had no business
I know.
You've been at the center of two suspect fatalities and two Police Officer fatalities. I'll need your badge and your weapon.
Reilly, what the hell are you?
Fire me later. Close in and we got the bastard.
Pull back. You're only an observer.
Reilly, what's happening? Reilly! Reilly! Do not engage. We're five minutes
We'll keep him pinned in, you guys hurry up!
Reilly, Vice. I
Quiet!
Make an appointment.
It's about this.
P.E.T.N ...
