French Intrigue Page #2

Where should I drop you off?

At the ministery? - Please.

To the ministry.

Is it already healing a bit?

A bit.

It looks better already,

but you shouldn't move the arm.

Above all, you should sleep now.

When i feel better,

i will sleep more.

For the injections.

I got that a long time.

I had a head injury,

the sleep center got damaged by that,

nobody can fix that.

Well, I dream and I dream.

The nights are so long

as if i was living twice.

I miss the natural dreams,

that everyone usually have while sleeping.

Who are you? What are you doing?

It's you!

Now you are knocked over,

aren't you?

I'm quite fast, aren't I?

The doctor called in New York.

You should be happy to see

me again. Hey, man.

Is there anything drinkable here?

- Everything you want.

I really came in a rush.

When they told me,

that they will send me...

Boy, you dont picture this.

- I told you before.

A job in Paris is not an

everyday opportunity.

Two americans that

can do what they want.

Let's put it this way,

that can almost do what they want.

You don't have to get mad

about these guys.

That's peanuts.

We will get them quickly.

Do you want to see my new invention?

I fooled the customs with this.

Not bad, eh?

You see? It's great, isn't it.

Open, Close.

Great toy.

Look, do you understand

what this means?

We'll find your deaf-mutes.

Now you got me and i got you.

Ain't that funny?

Say, isn't that a joke?

Paul and Serge in Paris.

Nothing can go wrong now.

Thats for sure:
Nobody can hold the candle to us.

We are never going to have the short end of the stick.

We are inseperable, undiscoverable

and unbeatable.

I'm glad, Paul.

I knew you'd come.

Why do people put such crap on their walls.

Do you get that?

That's really a drag.

I'd prefer mirrors.

What can i see there? Myself!

At least i am alive.

There is action, it's moving.

Strange guy, your friend Paul.

He must be really attached to you.

I guess so.

Thats entirely mutual.

He helps me. The attitude he has

towards life. He sings, he dances.

I feel as if

he is watching me.

He is interested in everything,

has fun with all kinds of this.

And besides that he is a good shooter.

He passionately loves weapons.

Soon you are fit again.

And you'll be able to go.

Both of you will go then.

- Yes.

We are not her for fun.

- No.

I think we've got better things to do

than asking each other questions .

Everything has an end sometimes.

I am like you on that question.

I have always done everything

very thoroughly.

You don't need to move out from here.

Just stay.

Both of you can stay here,

if you want.

Yeah, i am alive.

I am laughing.

And living.

The bill, please.

Look Madame, i am looking

for a Mme. Carbona. - Who?

She is the wife of a guy,

whose name is Carbona. You know him?

I am looking for two guys,

that can't speak, deaf-mutes.

Ah, no.

Why don't you go to the Police.

- The Police? Thanks.

Look, over there at the Bar

There is a young american,

he was asking for you.

- An american?

Yes. Do you want to talk to him?

- No, by no means.

Somebody should follow him.

- Alright.

Looks as if we have the same drink.

The color is the same.

But his is pure alcohol.

Take a guess how nutritous that is.

It just contains

Vitamins and Lecithin.

It's incredibly healthy,

raw eggs and tomatos.

Thats my line.

Thats the best for me.

It gives me strength.

You know,

When i think of those guys,

that cannot stop boozing...

Remember Andr? Do you recall shortly before

his death how he was sitting in the Casino?

We watched him gambling.

He knew that he had to bite the dust / believe in it(?)

The more he won,

the more he drank.

I always brought him the champagne.

At his table the 22 came three times in a row .

Three times, really.

He has never been so cheerful.

I can tell you that.

Though he even knew it.

- And that made quite an impression to you?

Why? It's actually not true that

he drank so much.

He had tuberculosis since 20 years.

You wouldn't have been able to save him too.

And now he's dead. So what?

I always tell myself that I'm already dead.

That's why I am so quiet.

- Do you know why he has been released?

He should have been able to die in his bed,

and because to stop him from

doing foolish things.

He kept too much confidence

in his girlfriends.

What do you think?

What if he had kept on talking?

Don't make me laugh!

I don't like that.

I want tomatoes.

- Bring some tomatoes.

Hey, what's up?

- Do your stuff alone!

Bring me something to smoke.

She'll recover soon.

No, it says "where they were happy".

I'm quite done now.

No, no, I've got plenty of things to do.

No, it's not that important.

I just don't like to go out now.

No, I just told you

I want to be alone for a while.

No.

- I could go mad.

It's not because of the work.

I actually don't work, at the moment.

Do you like a new one?

A punch from the house.

- There's not enough industry.

The only industry down there

is in the region of...

Well, I don't know the name of the region.

But further down there, up to the

Chinese border, there's nothing there.

That's the way it is.

Punch is a great drink for a young woman,

and it lifts you up. But I believe

you put too much sugar in it.

You get the best punch in a small bar

close to Quai d'Orsay.

- I always said "no".

I want to talk to you.

Come on, let's sit down.

A Martinti.

Calm down.

Let me explain.

You cannot do that in France.

You cannot shoot around just like that

like in Detroit last year.

They don't do that in Paris.

Let me explain.

The cop's mentality in France...

Bullshit. Cops are cops.

- You have to know what you want.

I know what I want.

I want revenge.

I can imagine.

- I know. You don't like that.

Exactly, it doesn't work.

I want to ask you something

which may appear indiscrete.

Who's the American you

met at the flight from New York

a few days ago?

You know who I mean?

Oh, I actually don't know.

You've met him again in the meantime?

He was very nice, you know,

but a bit shy.

He never introduced himself to me.

I can understand.

He may have realized

that he isn't the right acquaintance

for the daughter of an ambassador.

Even if social differences are

blurred nowadays...

Whatever,

for sure this guy is dangerous.

He is a professional killer.

If you should stumble upon him,

on the street or whereever,

please call me immediately at this number.

Don't be scared.

You are being protected.

Please call me at all costs.

That would be it, Mademoiselle. Goodbye!

You're on a lucky streak today.

I continue.

Here, i'll get more und i got a

lot of these in my pocket.

And if this runs out,

i'll make a call to New York.

Ok, i'll win the next game.

Let's try again.

Pick it up.

That's it?

That'll come back to me.

Poker is a game where

spectators interfere.

Come on, continue. You can't just

quit like that.

Are you leaving again. I don't like
