Catch Me If You Can Page #10

that Pan Am will be initiating

a new recruiting program

this year.

I'II, uh, be stopping

by your campus tomorrow morning.

Thank you all very much

for coming.

At the end of the day

I'll be choosing eight

young ladies to be a part of...

...Pan Am's future stewardess

flight crew program.

Now, these eight young ladies

will accompany me

on a two-month public relations

tour through Europe.

They will discover firsthand

what it takes

to be a Pan American stewardess.

Give me at least two men...

Nah, one man

per every two counters.

- Mm-hmm.

- All right?

Amdursky?

Yeah?

Make sure your uniforms

are covering

the sidewalk entrances

and exits.

Hey... let's have, uh, periodic

sweeps of the men's lav.

You, here.

What qualifies me

to be a future stewardess?

Well, I think

that I'm really friendly

and I can really help out

and, um, make people

feel welcome on the plane and...

We'll be traveling

at 6,000 miles per hour

at an altitude of 300 feet.

All my bags are packed,

I'm ready to go...

Ilene Anderson.

Miggy Acker.

Debra Jo McMillan.

Candy Heston.

Come fly with me,

let's fly, let's fly away

If you can use

some exotic booze

There's a bar in far Bombay

Come fly with me,

let's fly, let's fly away

Come fly with me,

let's float down to Peru

In Ilama land

there's a one-man band

And he'll toot his flute

for you

Come fly with me...

Hi.

...Let's take off

in the blue

Once I get you up there

Where the air is rarefied

We'll just glide starry-eyed

Once I get you up there...

You see that blonde out front?

I should have been a pilot.

Exactly.

Mr. Carl Hanratty

please pick up

the courtesy telephone.

Hanratty.

Carl, your walkie-talkie

wasn't working.

There's a guy

in a Pan Am uniform

sitting in a white Coupe DeVille

out in front of Terminal J.

That's the charter terminal.

Can you get a look at his face?

He's got his pilot's cap on.

Carl, I think it's him!

...Just say the words,

and we'll beat the birds

Down to Acapulco Bay...

Watch out, watch out,

watch out!

...It's perfect for a flying

honeymoon, they say...

Out of the car, Frank.

Frank?!

step out of the car!

Keep your hands

where I can see 'em.

Don't shoot me!

I'm just a driver.

A man paid me $100

to wear this uniform

and pick someone up

at the airport.

Who you picking up?

Hey!

Pack up, let's fly away.

South America, Australia

Singapore, Egypt.

The kid's gone

completely out of control.

Why wasn't I called?

Nobody was called, sir.

The banks didn't know what

was happening till last week.

That's impossible.

They didn't call

'cause it's not counterfeiting.

- It's something else.

- Well, what is he doing?

He's making real checks, sir.

These are so perfect

the airline didn't know

the difference.

Last check was cashed

in Madrid a week ago.

My guess is he's still there.

We have to leave now, sir.

Today.

Go where?

spain? You want to go to spain?

Well, eventually,

he's got to go back

to where the checks

were printed.

I think that's why

he's moving back through Europe.

Look at the map, sir.

He's making a circle.

He's running out of checks.

I know it's a...

it's a long shot, sir

but if we track him from Madrid,

sir, we could still catch him.

I'm sorry, Carl,

if you couldn't catch him here

you're not going

to catch him there.

But, sir, we're going

to let him get away.

No, Carl, you let him get away.

A perfect one-16th

all the way around.

Hmm!

Color separation is flawless.

There's no bleeding. Hmm.

Nobody does work like this

in the states.

Nobody but us.

Where was it printed?

It was printed on a monster...

A monster.

...a Heidelberg, an Istra...

Heidelberg.

...a dinosaur, four colors.

You can smell the weight.

Two tons, without the ink.

Where do they do printing

like this?

Germany, Great Britain...

France.

France!

France. Frank's mother said

the name of a village in France

where they didn't have sara Lee.

The village where

she met Frank's father.

Oh, yeah,

I don't remember, uh...

It started with an M.

It was, uh, "Mont" something.

"Mont." Mr. Fox?

Uh, yes, yes.

Question:
"You met your husband

during the war?"

"Yes, I lived

in a small village in France.

Yeah, right.

"The kind of place where

they never heard of sara Lee."

Tell me you wrote down the name

of the village, Mr. Fox.

Montrichard.

Laeti triumphantes

Venite, venite

In Bethlehem

Natum videte

Regem angelorum

Venite adoremus,

Venite adoremus

Venite...

Carl?

Carl!

Merry Christmas!

How is it that we're always

talking on Christmas, Carl?

Every Christmas

I'm talking to you!

Put your shirt on, Frank.

You're under arrest.

Hey, are you hungry?

Do you want some beans, Carl?

They got the best

French beans here.

Here, give these a try.

There's two dozen French

police officers outside.

Carl, I gotta tell you,

they're delicious.

They wanted to bring you in.

You want a bite?

But they needed the help

of an American.

Are you hungry?

You want a bite?

But I told them

I wouldn't bring them to you

unless I could put the cuffs

on you myself.

Well, you have a gun?

You have a gun?

- No gun?

- No.

No gun.

And-and you're...

and you're telling me what?

There's, uh,

there's uh...

there's two dozen

French police officers out there

right now on Christmas Eve?

That's what you're telling me?

Yeah.

All right, all right.

Well, there's no windows here.

I'm going to take a look

out the front door.

No! No!

I told them I'd walk out first

and give a signal.

Here, you can

put these on yourself.

No, I can't do that!

I can't do that.

You know why?

'Cause I think

you're full of sh*t.

I don't... I don't think

there's anyone else out there.

I think... I think

it's just me and you.

That's right.

I think it's just me and you,

and you know what?

You're going to have

to catch me yourself!

I wo... we don't have time

for this.

Ah, that's good. That's good.

Tell me what you want me to see,

huh?

I wouldn't lie to you.

Look, you're wearing

a wedding ring.

You're wearing

a wedding ring, Carl!

You lied to me about that!

Didn't you lie about that?!

You asked me if I had a family.

I did, but I don't anymore.

Yes? No, no, no,

there is no problem.

We're coming out right now.

Whoa, that was good.

That was good.

What, did you...

you pay some hotel desk clerk

to make that call for you,

is that what you did?

It was Captain Luc.

I've got one minute

to bring you out.

Captain Luc? Captain Luc!

Ooh, Captain Luc.

Well, Carl, I gotta say

that-that sounds

pretty official to me

but like I said, I...

I think it's just

me and you here,

it's me and you.

so you're going to have

to catch me.

Frank. Frank!

You have to trust me on this!

These people

have been embarrassed, Frank.

They're angry.

You rob their banks,

you steal their money

you live in their country.

I told you this was

what was going to happen

that there was no other way

for it to end.

Don't make a mistake!

That's good.
