"Yoo-hoo!

Come have some pasta,

come have some spaghetti!"

He's right, you two

are morons, animals!

How many times...

...how many times have I told you

girls mean trouble!

- How many times?

- Never!

If we can't get broads,

with all our money...

...what good is it?

I like men, not so much

because they're men...

...but because

they're not women!

I didn't see you two

fighting off those girls!

Who shut the door

when you left Ernesto?

- Aldo did.

- You're sure?

I was there.

Mr. Ernesto, you know that...

Jacques, you tell him.

What'd I say about him?

He said that...

...of all the men we'd met...

General, you were the best.

He said you were straight.

I even added

you were honest.

Yes, that's right.

Thank you very much.

You know the procedure:

One, kidnapping;

...two, ransom.

I'll only ask for the $2 million

from the plane.

Give me your Swiss bank

account number and you're free.

So, what's the number?

Mr. Ernesto, how did you find us?

You're noticeable

when you're on vacation.

Your behavior

isn't very Marxist.

But you aren't Marxists.

You're cheap hoodlums!

Easy, there!

I'll bet $1,000 he talks.

$2,000, he doesn't.

I'm with you, Jacques.

Well?

$2,000 he doesn't talk.

$3,000, he does.

$5,000.

$10,000, he misses,

and $20,000, he doesn't talk.

Double that.

What about that Swiss

account number?

Screw you.

Screw you!

I'm not as good a shot

as you are.

Screw you!

Paper tiger!

You're a paper tiger.

Relax, it's phony.

- What'd he say?

- $10,000 he won't talk.

- I'm in.

- How much?

$15,000.

I won!

- $15,000 he talks.

- $15,000 he talks.

I'll cover all three

for $50,000, okay?

Well, Mr. Bandit?

The Swiss account.

I don't remember.

We'll see.

Drop your pants.

Why should I

drop my pants?

You'll see.

It's funny!

Lino, try it!

It's funny!

It's funny, Ernesto!

Does little Poupoune

know Switzerland?

- I've got an offer...

- No!

UBS in Zurich, 9461.

Ask for Hugo Frichthafen,

he'll take care of it.

You are a humanist!

Lt'll surprise Frichthafen!

- But...

- But what?

- Ernesto, can I say...

- Shut up!

Go ahead, tell him in Italian!

- Go f...

- Very good, Lino.

Juarez!

I thought he was honest,

and straight!

He was a bastard!

Know what he did?

I gave him the number...

...and he took the $2 million.

But that's not all!

He pumped us dry!

Took all the money we had!

And that's not all.

He turned us in to the police.

And yes, to the French police!

These men are not innocent,

I know.

But they are prophets!

The innocent have full hands

and light hearts.

The accused have empty hands...

...but their hearts are heavy

with the threat of death!

Where, Mr. Prosecutor,

is their fortune?

Do the accused have

sumptuous villas by the sea?

Or mansions in rich suburbs?

No! They own nothing!

They own nothing

because they are fighting...

...against a political system

based on property!

With all due respect,

Mr. Prosecutor...

...the growing unrest

in the world today...

...the solidarity strikes...

...the riots...

...add proof,

if it's needed...

...this is a political trial!

In fact, politics

is on trial here!

The real defendant

is not sitting here today.

The real defendant...

...is our immoral modern world...

...its electoral chicanery...

...its tactical pacts

and tactical wars!

These men, the accused...

...have simply tried to blow up

an unsanitary atoll...

...called politics!

He's oversimplifying.

The system is not on trial here.

The accused placed it on trial

before I did.

Not to oversimplify, but...

The system is on trial here.

Its survival may even

depend on the verdict.

We know the political opinions

of the accused.

If any doubt still exists...

...this revelation

should clarify it.

All the money

from the hijacked plane...

...was turned over spontaneously...

...to Ernesto Juarez...

...so that the Revolution

might triumph in South America.

I assume that

the defense has proof?

Of course, Mr. Prosecutor.

A $2 million transfer...

...from anonymous account

UBS Zurich 9461

...to equally anonymous

account 26578 ZK.

What if they escaped?

What are you saying?

They escape, you're safe.

You haven't given in to pressure.

The protesters will stop...

protesting.

And you are no longer

embarrassed.

An escape!

That sounds good, but...

...someone will have

to be declared responsible!

Of course,

I'll assume full responsibility.

The accused will rise.

Everybody stay calm!

This is about those three clowns

dressed in red!

Let's go, baby-doll!

This is an escape,

and we want no trouble.

So let's all sing

"The Marseillaise. "

All together!

One, two, three!

Sing, sing!

Sing out!

Louder!

Aldo, the government's with us.

Slow down.

Leaving Paris

always means trouble!

But this time,

they've been very fair!

Fixed us up with an escape.

We have to go to Africa,

we promised.

Where's that damn plane!

Where the hell is it?

I've got it!

I know where it is.

It's behind us.

We have to go back.

It's behind a hill back there.

Hang on!

I'll make a U-turn!

I've already told you

this is a phony escape!

Take your time!

You'll kill us.

I'm telling you,

nobody is following us!

Slow down, we've got time.

There!

Unbelievable!

Stop.

- Stop!

- We can make it!

- I said stop.

- They can't catch me!

Stop!

We'll have to explain.

You missed a stop sign.

- Did you see a stop sign?

- Where was it?

Where?

- 150 yards back.

- There's no stop sign.

There's no stop sign.

- Officer...

- Tell him!

This car isn't ours,

it's a government car.

The plane over there

is a government plane!

The plane is

taking us to Africa.

We're not wanted here,

so we have to go.

Jacques, you try!

Well, it's an African problem.

Above all,

it's an African problem.

Because your bosses...

...made a deal with us.

They said, "We'll arrange for it. "

They arranged it.

"But you'll go to Africa!"

You are blocking us...

...and they just unblocked us!

You're making a big mistake.

They asked us to go to Africa.

You heard him.

They just unblocked us!

You can't block us

when they unblocked us!

He can't explain it.

He's a cyclical neuropath.

I'll have to explain it to you.

Silence! This neuropath

did plenty for you!

One at a time.

One at a time?

We're all together.

It's a question of Africa!

Gentlemen, please,

one at a time.

Your establishment is

uncoordinated!

You block us

when they unblocked us!

Makes no sense.

Your job is to unblock

so things flow.

Over that hill. Fast!

Not so fast, take the road!

- Faster!

- Not so fast.

- Not so fast!

- Not so fast.

- The road's faster!

- Watch out!

Stop pushing!

Well, let go!

He's holding me. Let go!

He had me by the tie.

That moron!

Come out of there!

A driving neuropath!

- Where is he?

- We never should've left Paris!

Let me tell you.

We're going to have a talk,

a nice little talk!

- You neuropath!

- Imbecile!

What's wrong?

There's the plane!

Here's the spectacular climax
