Istanbul

Look, Charlie, look. Istanbul!

What do you expect in Turkey?

Pittsburgh?

Look, Charlie, it says: "Istanbul

is the threshold of Asia..."

"the colorful city of 444 mosques."

- Huh?

- 444 mosques.

You want to take me to them.

You? Who needs you?

Listen, I can go alone

anytime I want to and...

- Maybe not alone, you know?

- All right! All right!

I mean there's lots of interesting

people one can meet while traveling.

People interested in

culture and things.

Can I trouble you, Mr. Brennan?

No trouble, but no

smoking, it says there.

We're going down.

Oh, oh! Sure. Well, this is sort of

like coming home for you, isn't it?

Sort of like.

Scandinavian Airlines System,

Flight 100...

from Karachi, Tehran, Damascus and

Beirut, arriving at the gate five.

Welcome to Istanbul.

I am the guide.

You're the guide?

Istanbul is all right.

- Excuse me. Mr. Brennan?

- Right.

Would you step this way, please?

May I have my passport, please?

Brennan.

Thank you.

Ah most welcome, Brennan.

You are not exactly unexpected.

Nice to be remembered.

You have no idea what a pleasure

it is to see you again.

How often I have

wondered about you.

- May I?

- Please.

Five years is a long time

to stay away.

When one has a particular attachment.

The war had something

to do with that.

Korea.

James Brennan,

Captain U.S. Air Force...

Devastation Swan Cico power plant...

Distinguished Service Cross.

Honorable discharge.

It's a very fine record, Brennan.

I congratulate you.

And now you've given up flying?

No, except it's a little difficult

without an airplane.

The one I had got lost.

Or would you remember that?

Perfectly. Your papers, please.

Thank you.

And the purpose of your visit?

Travel through here to Iran,

on business.

I heard the oil

companies need pilots.

You are passing through

Istanbul on your way to Iran.

Most interesting.

Inspector, you're such

a suspicious type.

You know that's the kind of thing

that breaks up old friendships.

Oh, I hope not.

But you know I must ask myself

why you have come back.

A sentimental journey perhaps?

Pilgrimage to the scene

of the former happiness?

But that would only

reopen an old wound.

So I must feel that it is not

sentiment that brought you back...

But diamonds.

I wish I could help you

to find them...

But I never did know what

you were talking about...

Thanks.

It's been delightful

chatting about old times.

There reminds for me to hope that

we all enjoy your stay in Istanbul.

Thanks.

And if there is anything that I can

do for you at all, inspector...

You'll be sure and let

me know, won't you?

I will be at the same hotel.

Have a pleasant visit.

- Mr. Brennan.

- Kazim, good to see you.

Good to see you.

It has been a long time.

Yep. I'd like my old room, eh?

Ah yes, I remember. 424.

I'm sorry, Mr. Brennan,

your 424 has already been taken.

An American couple, just arrived.

That wouldn't be Mr. and

Mrs. Boyle, would it?

- Yes, you know them?

- Mmm.

If you wish, I will move you in

when they check out.

Good.

In the meanwhile, I will put

you next door, room 422.

Take it up.

Bonjour, monsieur.

This way, please.

Do you wish anything, sir?

- Yeah, two vodka gimlets.

- Two?

Thanks for James Brennan.

Thank you, Istanbul,

thank you, beautiful night.

And thank you, whatever

you are called.

That sounds just a little

bit too much like goodbye.

I didn't mean it. Really I didn't.

What shall I say to

remove the spell?

Being In Turkish, it won't not work.

- Turkish?

- Yes.

That sounds like wonderful magic.

What does it mean?

The truth comes from the heart

not the tongue.

I like that.

Did you keep make it up?

Of course.

Know what we used to say in Munich...

when we feel the way I do now?

Tell me.

I love you.

When I fall in love

it will be forever.

Or I'll never.

Falling in love with me.

In a restless world like this

love ends before starting

many moonlight kisses.

They look cool

in the warmth of the sun.

When I give my heart

it will be completely.

Or I'll never give.

My Heart.

And the moment I can fell that

you feel that way too

is when I fall in love.

With you.

And the moment I can fell that

you feel that way too

is when I fall in love.

With you.

Danny!

You old spell-binder.

If I could sing like that, man,

I wouldn't do anything else.

Come on. Sit down. Have a drink.

No Thank you. Like the cop

says "not when I'm on duty."

That's a good boy.

How is going with you, Miss Bauer?

Thank you. Danny.

What a lovely song.

You've never sang it

more beautifully.

You should know. You've heard it

every night for a solid week.

But today was special.

Let's say the way you

heard it so special.

Get him. One month in Turkey and he's

already giving with the proverbs.

What's with you?

Flying dynamite to the island...

Or fertilizer to Italy?

I'll fly anything, anytime.

You know me.

However, I am temporarily retired.

And I feel temporarily

unnecessary.

No, Danny, please.

Please, nothing.

I can't afford you two.

- What?

- Translation please.

Every time I come over here and

look into her love-laden eyes...

I start moping about

my girlfriend in New York.

Do you know how much it cost

to call New York from Turkey?

I got to go up with the fellows who

make the music. I'll see you later.

- Nice guy. First class.

- Mm-hmm.

It's my ship, eh?

Getting ready to sail.

No regrets?

It's going away.

I don't want to go.

Are you going home?

Home is not the place

where you were born...

It's where you are happy.

There she goes.

Two weeks ago, I stood on her

decks when she came in...

wondering whether

Istanbul would like me.

Where were you two weeks ago?

Flying in a load of

machinery from England.

Flying in. Flying out.

You like that, do you?

The Army taught me how.

I haven't found anything

I like to do better..

Besides, I've got my own plane.

It's a lot nice, not getting shot at.

Jim, did you say goodbye

to a girl in England?

A girl? Uh-hm.

Safety of numbers, I always figured.

The important thing though is that...

Up till now there has never been

a place I was sorry to leave.

When I think of the vacations

I have wasted elsewhere!

Italy last year.

And North Africa the year before.

Don't think of yesterday.

Today is the important thing.

3.30! And I've been

here since half past 2.

Where is he?

When I finally find

him, he's having lunch.

He said he'd be right over.

Hi, Florian. What's wrong?

Ali said it was urgent.

At 2:
30, I came here to ask him to

take a load of machinery to Cairo.

It's already loaded in your plane.

Now it's most important.

Ali, that's all?

I should break your neck,

interrupting my lunch.

But Jim, I thought I

you wanted the business.

You mean to say

you're not interested?

- No, sorry.

- But it means a tidy sum.

Yeah, I know but I'm not

taking any jobs right now.

My firm has given you a

lot of business, Brennan.

Sure, I'm appreciate that but I'm

sticking around Istanbul awhile.
