The Impostors Page #5

You see...

on every voyage...

all my life I look for

a woman I loved...

so long ago.

Almond eyes

and the mouth of a cherub.

Hmm.

Oh, who's that?

He's turning around.

Good Christ, he's ancient!

But look at those rings.

Obviously he's loaded.

Oh, God. Wretched.

Probably drop dead

before he gets here.

Waiter.

Evening.

Good evening. Martini, please.

Right away, sir.

Oh, no, not in that glass.

That glass.

- That is for display, sir.

- It'll do just fine.

- Should I have an accent, too?

- What?

I don't know.

What kind of accent

would it be?

I don't know.

That's up to you.

How about Indian?

I've always wanted to do Indian.

Yeah, but you don't really

look Indian.

That's true.

Oh! There we are.

Thank you so much.

Very good man.

Very kind. Thank you.

There they are.

Pardon.

Oh, my.

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Jean Lagasse,

entrepreneur and poet.

Oh, charmant.

I would like a...

Grasshopper, s'il vous plait?

Forgive me. I do not

speak very well English.

I am a French woman

traveling alone unaccompanied.

Alone.

We gotta do something.

We gotta find the bomber.

- Mm-hmm.

- First, look for Lil.

Gotcha.

Do you know the gentleman

who stole your wife?

Danny Sussman.

Excuse me?

He was my agent.

Some agent.

He was a great agent.

I loved him like a brother.

I loved my wife

like a mother and a hooker...

and look where it's got me!

Look! Alone, afraid...

and I just want to die!

Don't give up, Hap.

You don't want to die.

Sorry I'm late.

For what?

May I get you some champagne?

Oh, too kind.

Garcon, champagne.

Parlez-moi

D'amour

Reditez-moi

Des choses tendres

Votre beau discours

La la la la la la la...

Abend.

Do you hear a ticking?

No.

Tick-tick-tick, like that?

No.

Hey, hey, the actor!

Boy, you look so bad.

I found them!

They tried to murder me!

- Who?

- The stowaways!

Stowaways? Where?

Oh, God!

Gentlemen, you must help!

I've found them!

- The stowaways?

- Yes...

I told the captain, but he

doesn't seem to understand!

You must do something.

The detective, he's missing.

- Haven't seen him for hours.

- Pity.

Meistrich, tell the crew

to step up the search.

I will.

- Thank you.

- Calm yourself.

- Thank you.

- Not at all.

- Do you hear...

- No.

God, where is she?

I don't know, Arthy.

I don't know.

God, Maurice. We're gonna die.

Hey, there she is! Lily!

- Lily!

- Come on!

May I have this dance, please?

I'll have her back in a jiffy.

- The stowaways were spotted.

- Where? Are they here?

No. They are still

being sought out.

Did Marco find them?

Nein.

He seems to have disappeared.

What?

May I have this honor?

Excellent!

That mouth...

the mouth of a cherub.

Could it be?

Is it she?

Amore mio...

My love!

Are you you?

No, I'm not me.

Yes, you are.

Not anymore.

Since that night,

I have longed for you.

And I for you.

Amore.

Amore. No.

Si. Si.

When we are dancing

and you're dangerously near me

I get ideas

I get ideas

I want to hold you

so much closer than I dare to

I want to scold you 'cause

I care more than I care to

And when you touch me and

there's fire in every finger

I get ideas

I get ideas

And after we have

kissed good night

And still you linger

I kind of think

you get ideas, too

Your eyes are always saying

The things you're never saying

I only hope they're saying

That you could love me, too

For that's the whole idea

It's true

Lovely idea

That I've

fallen in love with you

Shall I come to

your stateroom at midnight?

Oh, yes. Yes.

Yes, again.

Hey.

He wants to kill you.

He's trying to kill you!

Oh, sh*t!

Please excuse me.

What a grotesque woman.

Your eyes are always saying

The things you're never saying

I only hope they're saying

That you could love me, too

That's the whole idea

It's true

Lovely idea

That I've fallen in love

with you

Oh!

Lily! Psst!

Lily! Lily! Psst!

Lily! It's me!

Arthur! It's me! Lily!

Ooh! Ow!

Why don't you look

where you're going?

Terribly sorry.

Please forgive me.

You're British!

Thank God for that, old boy!

I've been drowning

in this sea of Americans.

- Oh, sure.

- They're all colonials.

Every man Jack of them.

- Now I've found you...

- Yeah?

- Let's go have a drink.

- No, I'm fine.

I'm not a drinker.

I'm a teetotaler.

Oh! What the...

Was that your best shot,

savage gypsy lover?

- Come to my stateroom.

- Non, non.

I will give you things.

I will take them,

but tonight at midnight.

In my country,

they kill the insane.

Where exactly

in England are you from?

Chester near

Chichester-on-Manchester.

- Never heard of it.

- Quite small.

Keep your eyes open, old boy.

They could be anywhere.

Here we are. Bottoms up.

Oh, thank you very much.

Don't give up, Hap.

Don't want to die.

Don't be afraid of love.

Don't kid a kidder, kid!

People are afraid of poverty,

of war, of pestilence...

of not knowing who they are

or what they want, of dogs!

And I say don't... don't

fear these things!

They're not real!

You want something to fear?

Do you know what to fear?

Love. Fear love.

Love is real,

and it is terrifying.

If you're gonna be afraid,

be afraid when someone says...

I love you.

Je t'aime.

Ti amo.

Ich liebe dich.

I...

I love you!

I love...

Oh! Ha! I think...

It's you.

No!

Impostor.

Impostor!

Impostor!

Impostor!

Impostor!

Impostor!

Impostor!

Unh!

Impostor!

Arthy!

Stop them! Stop them!

Impostor!

I think I have been found out.

Our plan must be

carried out now.

I will seize the queen and

escape with her immediately...

then detonate the bombs myself.

Meet me in one hour

at the appointed place.

This is Voltri, over and out.

We've been found out, Johnny.

What are we gonna do?

Don't tell me we're gonna

jump ship because I can't swim!

Come on.

It was him! I knew it!

The stowaway is an impostor!

Come on.

Let's go and get those bastards!

We haven't been found out.

They're the impostors.

Our cover ain't been blown.

It's business as usual.

Did you tell the sheik

to meet you in his room?

I did, Johnny.

Aces. I'm meeting

the old broad in hers.

Go seek the sheik.

I'll catch up with you later.

Hey.

You knock him dead, kid.

You bet I will, Johnny.

Johnny? You're a genius.

Don't flatter me, babe.

I don't know what to do with it.

I'm sorry, Johnny.

Stop!

I'm a man!

And so am I!

Oh, my God!

Hey!

Hold it!

Hi, Lil.

- Arthy?

- Yeah?

- Can I be the man next time?

- Sure. OK.

Fellas,

we gotta find the first mate.

Step on it, fellas!

Shh! Shh!

Marco!

Oh, Lily!

I have done something awful!

Marco, these are the stowaways.

It's nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you.

Oh! Madonna!

No! It's OK!

No, it's OK!

Marco, these two are actors.

They are pretending

to be the stowaways?

No, they are the stowaways,

but they're actors.

So I didn't... You didn't die?

No.

I just pretended.

Very good.

Really?

Yeah... Wha... I believed you!

Thanks.

And you're an actor, too?

Yeah.

Yes, I am also an actor.
