And now...

we'd better get the dynamite.

Oh, yes,

Florence, Florence, the detonator.

- Now

- Shh, shh, please, shh.

I think they're singing the finale.

Gloria and Prince what's-his-name.

- Herbert.

- The show will be over in five minutes.

- Adam Worth will be here in ten.

- There's no time!

Back to work.

Here we go.

- What are you gonna do, Harry?

- Just help me down here.

Stop!

Ben!

Ben.

What are you... doing here?

Excuse me.

Hurry.

I don't think it worked.

What? What?

Get me outta this!

What the heck

are you doing here?

Harry, it didn't work.

- What?

- You have to do it again.

"The Kingdom of Love."

We have to get ourselves

into the slave costume.

The Nubian slave costume.

- Just

- B*tch!

And they'll soon

be here to rescue us.

Is that not right, Othello,

my personal Nubian...

You've been sleeping

as stage manager!

There's a performance going on.

Where's my makeup for the Nubian slave?

Just a second, master.

We're having a bit of a problem.

My Nubian slave!

My... personal Nubian slave.

Yes?

You wait here.

I shall return.

Make sure this impostor

does not abduct fair princess...

Got it?

Rook to your king five.

Check and mate.

Well, gentlemen,

shall we go to work?

Ho, ho, ho?

That's in here?

Somehow we've gotta get

the dynamite behind the door.

Behind the door,

behind the door.

Behind That's it!

That's it.

What, what?

Behind the door.

Now we know how to do it.

That Adam Worth is a genius.

- How simple, how beautiful.

- What is it?

The bicycle pump, darling girl.

The bicycle pump.

Ben, get the enamel pan

and the putty from the tunnel.

Lewis, unwrap the dynamite

and cook it with the torch.

Fill up all the cracks

with, uh, putty.

Make a cup at the top

with a little hole on the bottom.

Behind the door!

I knew it!

At last he's gone.

Be careful.

Be careful

whatever you do.

That's the last of it,

Mischa.

Lewis, be careful.

Strain it...

with a handkerchief.

And pour it into the pitcher.

Hurry.

I am the real prince!

Darling!

Christ!

No, no, no, no!

I shall tell you the story

of the young child

who was taken from his parents'

carriage by the gypsies.

And brought to the forest

where he was brought up by owls who...

Owls whoooo.

And wolves and sheep.

By alley cats

and I have the arrangement.

The arrangement?

What kind of arrangement?

The arrangement is right here,

and it will unravel this tale.

Play that for me,

piano player.

And we'll straighten out

the court.

Gently.

We have to hurry.

The ballet music.

Number 12, number 12.

It must be running late.

The damn play's still on.

All we need

is five more minutes.

I'm on my way.

Red, get in the front door,

see what's happening.

That Adam Worth is a genius.

You see, by reversing the tube,

you create a vacuum.

Instead of blowing,

it draws the liquid.

With luck, it'll come down.

Oh, that Adam Worth is a genius.

Keep pouring, keep pouring.

No, no!

That's it! That's it!

Look at this. We got it.

That's it.

Hey, Nubian slave!

I have news I care to share

with you, ol' slave.

My armies, in a few minutes,

will be victorious.

Your armies? You mean my armies!

For I am the real Prince Herbert.

That's the first

I heard that.

You weren't here

when I explained.

Everybody heard when I explained.

You're a duke.

- I'm a duke?

- A duke, a duke!

- What's the matter?

- I don't know.

My God, it's Leary.

Try it again.

Try it again.

We did it.

Come on!

Go, go, go!

Okay, Florence,

you go down now.

Damn it! It's got

to be one of these!

All right, boys.

Adam Worth, you and your associates

are under arrest

for the robbery of the Commercial Bank

and Trust Company.

I know this seems unusual,

but as you can plainly see,

I'm on my way in, not out.

- Bravo!

- More! More!

Giddap.

Thank you.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Here you are, my good man.

Here you are.

We should like

the best table

in the joint.

Would you excuse me

one moment, please.

Sure, make it quick.

Watch yourself.

Watch yourself.

Harry.

It's all right.

- I've got my cane.

- All right.

You're gonna leave quietly,

aren't you, Harry?

Well, uh-uh.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

My partner.

Thank you.

Dighby, planned

your next job yet?

No, no, no. We're

We're going to take a little time off.

We haven't worked out that yet.

Oh, the wine '79.

Mr. Hill, where did you learn

to sing and dance like that?

Miss Chestnut...

may I have a word in private

with you, please?

You are an extraordinary

woman, Miss Chestnut.

Tell me...

is it your intention to continue

in your life of high adventure?

Mr. Worth, our share of the money

has been used to start what I hope...

will one day be the largest permanent

milk fund in this city.

If you care to make a donation,

I think you know our address.

Calmly, Miss Chestnut.

You've already won the war.

Shall we discuss

the terms of the treaty?

Shall I tell you

about the party?

She mentioned it.

She is a decadent woman,

don't you think?

Yeah.

Finger bowl, sir.

Refresh yourself.

Refresh yourself.

My, my, my.

You're a very healthy girl.

Walter.

Excuse me.

Refresh yourself.

To us.

Partner, to us.

Lissa.

Where are you going?

Walter, don't worry.

I'll be all right.

Nothing matters anymore.

Stop it. Look, I like her too.

I'm not cryin'.

Look where we are.

This is probably the fanciest

room in the whole world.

My life is over, Harry.

I always promised you we'd play

a room like this someday.

Look, we own this joint.

We can do it.

- Where's the music?

- What music?

Don't give me that.

You always carry the music.

I don't want to pull

the music out.

- Aha!

- I don't wanna take the music out.

Trust me, trust me.

- Harry, Harry

- Trust me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me,

will you stop please?

Hey, they stopped. Great.

Can you play this?

This is an elegant place.

It's very complicated and...

We can't do that here.

We don't have our makeup...

- We can play it, sir.

- You can play that?

Well, pick it up a little.

A little more tempo.

I don't know whether we...
