Souris chez les hommes, Une (A Mouse with the Men) Page #2

---

You're a character. You don't let

anything get you down.

A real man always stays calm.

That's true.

The cab's coming.

- He'll wait.

It's downstairs.

- That's alright.

This is not possible...

Swear, Marcel.

Pretty and smart.

That must be her.

And our scaredy-cat.

The wheel.

I only see the girl.

Two minutes and 45 seconds,

not bad.

What are you doing there?

- Looking.

Continue. Or I scream...

She's crazy.

- Better be careful...

I'll kill her...

Careful. One wrong move

and I throw this through the window.

What do you want?

- I want to see what you'll do next.

I think we'd better leave...

- I'll scream, you know...

Alright. This is what we'll do.

We show you everything,

but you have to behave.

And be quiet. Promise.

Keep an eye on her and

make sure she's quiet.

An expert.

- Shut up.

Bravo, bravo.

- Enough. Shut up. Sit down.

And? Did you enjoy it? Was it amusing?

- Great.

A moustache makes you look

a lot older, Mr Blanchet.

Even if it's attached well.

Because it's fake, of course.

What's this? Do you know her?

- No, really.

But she knows you.

I'll kill her.

You shouldn't stay too long.

She's right. Hurry up.

How do you know me?

How is that possible?

Tomorrow, five o'clock, in the bar.

- No way.

Want me to get my memory back?

'There were two, chief. I knew one

of them. It was Mr Blanchet. '

Alright. Five o'clock, if you insist.

But not a minute later, understood?

You two. She knows your name.

She's not a psychic, though.

It's not what you think.

Are you suffering from amnesia?

- There's nothing wrong with my memory.

Anyway, we have to get rid of her.

First of all:
no violence.

And second:
I want to know how

you'll do it in broad daylight.

I have until tomorrow to think

about that. I'll go first.

Now you. The bag.

Damn. The bag.

- Haven't you got it?

It was full of money.

You gave it to me,

she called me by my name...

But then we have to go back.

- It's my mistake, so I'll solve it.

Stop it. We share the money,

so we share the risk.

If we do it together,

we won't get a lesser sentence.

The bastards. At my place.

Everything.

They took everything.

Police? I'm calling about a burglary.

At my place, yes. Lon Dufour.

That's fast. I just hung up.

Were you informed over the radio?

That's correct, Mathieu.

What did you think? Times have changed

Everything's electronic now.

Do you have a licence for that?

- You should. Oh well, never mind.

Gentlemen, my place was just burgled.

It's a disgrace.

Wait. You didn't touch anything?

- Nothing.

I walked from the door to the safe

and I called you right away.

Check the safe with the gentleman.

I'll look for clues.

Look at me...

Watch your step...

Now look well. Not at me.

Do you think there was a burglary?

Don't touch anything.

I'm not sure, but I've got the key

and no one knows the combination.

So burglary.

- Maybe.

Yes or no? I have to know.

A false statement at the start

can ruin the entire investigation.

How much was in the safe?

-90,000 francs. Nine million.

No time to lose. That safe has

been broken into... Papers... Come on.

This is a job by Big Loulou.

He has a head start of an hour.

And the fingerprints? Traces?

- Specialists will look for them.

Shouldn't I make a statement?

- We've got it.

Don't say anything else.

That would only confuse things.

The reception committee,

- And very close.

Dufour, which floor?

- The fourth.

We'll break our necks on the roof.

You too.

It's here.

Police, open up.

Already?

I lost all sense of time.

You were really very fast.

What happened? A little burglary?

- Not so little.

Where's your equipment?

For pictures and fingerprints.

In due time. First tell us how

it happened.

Do you want a statement?

- Exactly.

Let's not confuse things.

The statement is for your colleagues.

You're nervous for a professional.

The police might catch us.

Of course we're careful.

Have a sip of whisky.

Mummy's in Vichy, daddy's in Deauville.

Nobody will disturb us.

Except the cops.

The janitor saw me go up.

I'll have to open up.

Police, open up.

Police. Did you notice anything?

Did anybody sneak through your house?

I should have killed her.

Two unknown men?

- The window to the roof is still closed.

What's happening?

- I was robbed of nine million.

The liar.

And the worst thing is

that those gentlemen...

Go inside. It's crowded enough here.

You'll read about it tomorrow.

Please.

Did your partner do well?

Don't I get a compliment?

- Yes, you did very well.

What were our colleagues going to do?

- They were going to arrest Big Loulou.

Thanks a lot.

You could have told me. Look.

Lucille? Lucille Bayer? It's Lucille.

Five years later. Remember Houlgate?

- The weather was great.

And you almost really swam.

There was a flower festival. You put

a crab in your mother-in-law's handbag.

My mother-in-law... you know.

Enough.

Earlier you didn't know this clown

and now you're best buddies.

Don't get worked up.

We're just talking.

This lout is completely right.

May I?

Let's talk business.

I won't let you leave without

claiming my share.

Why did you have this much money in the

house? Don't you have a bank account?

Certainly. I deposit my money at the

trade bank, each Friday.

That would be tomorrow.

Tell me, are you insured for this?

Fortunately yes. Up to

ten million in cash.

Look at me.

nine million. He's got guts.

That's life.

If everybody was dishonest,

things would be a big mess.

Alright, I'll make a sacrifice.

I'll kill her...

Thanks for your hospitality,

but we have to go.

Don't move.

All clear. The janitor in the police-

men's car and Dufour with the inspector.

Thanks anyway.

- Not in the pub tomorrow.

No need to see each other tomorrow.

- Yes, there is.

Capriciousness?

- No, blackmail.

Tomorrow, four o'clock, Jardin des

Plantes. Near the dinosaur's head.

I prefer a less conspicuous animal.

- What do you suggest?

Four o'clock, Muse des Colonies,

near the crocodiles.

I bet they're not hungry.

Those animals eat less than you'd think.

Two or three kilos per day.

Really?

What about the explorers?

They're having a laugh.

They exaggerate the danger, of course.

I was worried because of that sign...

- Marcel's idea.

So good to know your name.

- It might not matter anymore.

Those faces.

Have you been bickering again?

We never bicker.

- Good. I don't want to cause a conflict.

Imagine:
My parents think

I ran away.

Then they find a letter with

the proof on my desk.

Such a nice girl.

- I trust you blindly, Francis.

Shall we discuss it quietly somewhere?

I've done some thinking

too, yesterday.

I've decided to join you.

Quite a combination, isn't it?

Not a bad idea. Francis and I provide

the tools, the car, the experience...

...and you get a third

of the profits.

Without doing anything for it.

I'm sure you wouldn't want that.

Listen, I'll be giving a lot.

I'll give you everything you need.

Precise information, thorough selection.
