to persuade him.
- And did you?
- You don't know my father.
He's fearless, unshakable.
No two people were ever
closer than he and I.
He filled my life with
love and tenderness.
He's wonderful.
That's why I don't care what
I do to earn his freedom.
There's nothing, nobody I
wouldn't sacrifice for that.
- He must be.
- He is.
So I made a bargain with Graum.
He promised to let my father
go if I helped him find
the man who has been responsible
for all these escapes.
- And have you?
- Yes.
But I don't want to be
forced to give him away.
- Why not?
- Because I admire what he's doing.
- Why are you telling me all this?
- You are that man.
- What dreadful nonsense you do talk.
- I guessed it the moment I
saw you, and the admiration
of that boy David convinced me.
You and your party were
near the frontier post
when Karl Planker escaped.
Your diggings were only a few
miles from the concentration
camp where a scarecrow came to life.
You are that man, I know it.
Aren't you?
Tell me.
- Well won't that be enough for tonight?
- Tell me.
- I know you're quite harmless
but please, please go.
- Before I go, you've got to choose.
Either you help my father
to escape or I go straight
to the gestapo and tell them what I know.
- Very well, go there quickly.
I hope they'll prove
less skeptical than I.
What on earth are you crying for?
What have I done?
You brought this all on yourself.
I didn't ask you to come here.
I am horrified at the idea of
a strange woman in my rooms,
Or are they tears?
Yes, they are.
Well they don't have any
effect on me, believe me.
Here, mop 'em up with
that, you look awful.
And don't you try any
more fairy tales with me.
Here, you've forgotten your--
Have you noticed a delightful
smell everywhere this morning?
- You mean the egg?
- Everything smells delightful to me,
but of course you wouldn't
understand that, Mr. Maxwell.
- You're sure you feel alright, Prof?
- I feel splendid, thank you.
Now Dvorak, tell me, why are you here
so early in the morning?
- You asked me to get you some information
about a certain young lady.
- So I did.
- Well I've got it.
In the first place her
name isn't Coles at all,
it's Koslowski.
In the second place, she's--
- Don't tell me any more.
Now I feel even better.
- What is all this?
Trailing a girl with whom
I've a luncheon date.
- Have you?
- Sure.
- Good.
That'll save me a telephone call.
- Prof, I don't get it.
- Exactly.
You made the same mistake I did.
The trouble with us, Mr. Maxwell, is that
we don't understand women.
We've even forgotten they
- Monsieur.
Can I help you?
- Are you French?
- Yes.
- You're not German?
- No, I'm still French.
This is a French shop, you see.
- A French oasis in a German desert.
- What can I do for you, monsieur?
- Oh yes, yes.
Powder.
- Powder?
- Powder, yes, I'd like some powder.
- Certainly, but what kind of powder.
Bath, tooth, talcum?
Face?
- Face, face.
- Any special make?
- I beg your pardon?
- Which make would you prefer?
- Well I, what would you suggest?
- I always use Dory.
- Do you?
- Always.
- I'll have some of that.
- You won't regret it.
What shade?
- Well what shades have you got?
-
- I'm afraid all that's rather beyond me.
I'll be back tomorrow.
- Monsieur.
What is she like?
- Well, I really don't quite
remember, she's sort of--
- What's her coloring?
- Dark.
- I know what you want.
You take this.
- I'll have a pound of that.
- A pound?
That will last a lifetime.
This is the biggest box I've got.
- Alright, I'll have two of those.
- Two?
Very well.
- Don't bother to wrap
it up, I'll just take it
the way it is.
Thank you.
How much is that?
- That will be 42 marks, monsieur.
- 42 marks.
- Thank you.
Will you allow me?
- Born in France?
- Born in France.
- It's remarkable.
Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Hello Prof, been to a wedding?
- Good morning Mr. Maxwell.
Good morning.
I hope you'll forgive me
for having invited myself
to luncheon.
- Certainly fine that you are here.
- Yours, I believe.
- What's this?
- Your handbag.
- Thank you.
- Yes I would have run
after you last night
but unfortunately everything
fell and scattered
all over the place.
realized I had left it behind.
- Say, when did all this happen?
- As a matter of fact
your powder was spilt too
and I bought you some to make up for it.
- Needn't have bothered.
- Oh it was no bother at all, there.
- Oh, my favorite shade.
How did you know?
- Intuition.
- What's going on?
First you're darn rude to each
other and now look at this.
- Well now to business, where's the menu?
By the way, whose luncheon is this?
- Mine.
- No it's not, it's mine.
- So's the bill.
- Mr. Maxwell, if you heard
that a very remarkable man
had been imprisoned by the Nazis,
what would you do?
- My damndest to get him out.
- Isn't that amazing?
Every now and then he and I
have exactly the same idea.
- Could I have some water please?
- Certainly not.
Dvorak!
Some champagne.
- What kind of champagne?
- Oh, dash it, I've had
this conversation before.
Any kind.
Raschel. Natural.
The best you have, only hurry.
- I don't know what to say to you.
Can't quite believe it's true.
- Suppose we have some nice
cold trout to start with.
And we'll follow that with--
- I don't even know
where they've taken him.
No one knows except the gestapo.
- He's at Grosberg.
What's this?
Milk-fed lamb cooked in creme de menthe?
- She's being watched every minute.
There's the report.
- Went up to his room.
Enterprising.
- In my opinion she's wasting her time.
- Yes, the question is
is she wasting ours?
This idiotic archaeologist.
Lunch lasted two hours,
conversation appeared friendly
and animated, he presented
her with a box of powder.
How gallant.
How helpful love is.
I don't know what the
gestapo would do without it.
This is all nonsense.
Alright, show her in.
Ah, good day Miss Coles.
Sit down.
You're looking very
radiant, it must be love.
- I'm afraid not, even though
I did go to his room last
night.
- Room, whose room?
- The professor's.
Didn't you know?
As a new recruit I made
sure I would be followed.
- Quite so.
But we like to get our news at first hand.
- Very well, here it is at first hand.
You were right and I was wrong.
That professor's crazy,
and so was I to think
that he's your famous rescuer.
- So much for your intuition, eh?
- I made a mistake, and I'm afraid I made
rather a fool of myself.
- Well, Rome wasn't built
in a day, even by Mussolini.
And secret agents aren't made in a night.
You did your best.
- And our bargain still stands?
- Oh but of course.
I've given you my word as a party member,
isn't that enough?
- More than enough.
