The Man Who Knew Too Little Page #3

---

It's not possible.

With a mere...

...three hours, 11 minutes till zero hour?

Keep calm.

We'll send in the plumbers

to flush Spenser.

I call in Boris from deep cover.

Boris Blavasky?

The maniac who decapitated

poor old Ponsonby in Helsinki?

Boris the Butcher?

Phone for you, love.

Thank you, sweetie.

I know you, Sergei Nikolivich.

There's more to this than just dirty letters.

Why so gloomy?

Is better than being butcher.

I like being butcher.

You know exactly who you are killing...

...and why.

What impresses me most...

...during our visits to Germany

are his people.

There's a warmth, a quiet charm.

Everyone welcomes you with open arms.

You're sure you were in Germany?

Downtown Brussels.

- Wally.

- Hello, everybody. Jimmy's brother.

Don't get up.

What happened?

We need a place to lie low for a while.

I thought this place would be safe.

Won't you introduce us to your friend?

Everybody...

...this is Lori.

She's the defense minister's call girl.

Bastard!

That really hurt.

I should've called her an actress.

She's great.

Jimmy paid for the whole thing.

I should go, I suppose.

Okay, bye.

We got these smutty letters

we're going to blackmail some guy with.

Okay.

Later.

See you.

What line of work is your brother in?

He's in the movie business.

The movie business. Of course.

I'm sorry I was a little insensitive.

But, you know, I'm a hit man.

I'm only going to say this once.

I'm not a call girl.

I met Gilbert.

He liked giving me money. I needed it.

So I let him, okay?

Was that a tear?

How do you people do it?

Do you poke yourself in the eye?

Or are you thinking right now:

"My dog is dead"?

What's the matter with you?

Are you enjoying this?

Enormously.

My dog is dead.

My dog is dead.

The letters are upstairs in the spare room.

You go get them. I'll keep watch, okay?

Yeah, sure, pintsize.

Last time we split up,

you locked the door...

...and got strangled. Let's go in together.

You don't trust me, do you?

Say it. Go on, say it.

I don't trust you?

Wait.

I don't trust you.

I was going to ask you:

Are we all going to stay afterwards

and clean up?

I think Goldilocks wears Old Spice.

You should pay your light bill.

There's a lamp over there on the table.

Oh, God!

Gosh!

You got me. Did he get you?

You got both of us.

I've never seen a dead body before.

I've seen lots, but this is...

What're you doing?

You gotta check and see

just how dead they are.

You can never be sure.

Guy could be able to catch this!

I'm impressed.

You are so twisted.

I would think you'd be impressed by

the kind of concentration that is being...

Oh, man!

I feel sick. Do you think

you trust me to go to the loo?

The loo.

Off to the loo with you.

I know you worked together...

...but if I find the letters before she does,

it'd be a real hoot. How about a clue?

Do you know anything about this girl?

Is she going out with anyone in the cast?

Spenser? Are you there, Spenser?

Do that again.

Spenser? What's going on?

Are you receiving me?

You jerk.

You've got a radio.

Spenser, come in immediately.

This is a 42-20.

Cool.

Hello. Spenser, here.

Have no fear, good buddy.

What's he talking about?

- Why is he using that American accent?

- Cover.

Ask him if he's eliminated the girl.

Did you take the girl to the bathroom?

No.

She went to the loo...

...by herself.

By herself?

Suicide.

Finally, a spot of luck.

Ask him if he has disposed of the body.

Did you flush?

I think she's going to do that,

don't you, pal?

I'll ask her. Lori!

He's talking to her.

She's still in the bowl?

Maybe he tried but she floated back up.

Tell him to flush her.

Spenser knows how to deal with floaters.

Tell him to use the plunger or we're sunk.

Oh, no.

Listen here, you have to recycle the waste.

I don't know if we mentioned it,

but there's a time limit on the operation.

I figure you got to tie up

all your loose ends by...

...11:
30 at the latest.

- Did you tell him?

- Of course not.

Spenser, how did you arrive

at that hour specifically?

For one thing...

...I know a couple of guys who are hoping

to fire up some big Ambassadors at 11:59.

Disaster!

Disaster!

He knows every detail.

Keep him talking, sir.

The plumbers will be there any minute.

I think I've screwed you guys

completely up.

I'm way off the script.

I should've gone into the bathroom

and flushed her and everything else.

I'm just gonna recycle her now,

and we'll go from there, okay?

Spenser.

Over and out.

Lori.

We know you're out there.

So you've decided to recycle me after all.

I think it'll be a little bit easier,

a lot less confusion for everyone.

Sure, right.

Thank you. Over here, then.

All right, say cheese.

Let's find the letters.

Oh, my God, what have I done?

From three feet, I missed you.

I thought that was it.

- We gotta get out of here.

- We do?

Oh, great.

Come on!

Very good news.

Excuse us.

Hold it.

What?

I'd just like to do one thing.

I'll be right down.

I have a lot more appreciation

for what you people go through.

Thanks. Nice working with you.

The letters.

You are the best.

Thanks for making it fun.

- Freeze!

- Don't move!

Hello?

Wait up, Lori!

The letters!

Watch the foot.

Mail call.

Look what I found.

You're not going to give them to me.

No.

For half a second back there,

I thought I saw a real human being.

Nobody asked me to be a human being.

- Why don't we change it?

- Change it?

What were you going to do with these?

I'll help you.

Why would you do that?

Because I'd much rather be a good guy.

You're not just acting?

Well, we both are.

In the Theater of Life, I mean.

I suppose we are.

You know...

...l'm helping you out, but...

...l'm not a completely good guy.

There's something I want,

and you're gonna have to let me do it.

It's like that, is it?

I'm afraid so.

Typical man.

Oh, that feels good.

Thanks a lot.

It was really kind of you to let me drive.

So, partner. What are you going to do

with your share of the money?

I'm going to get out of here.

Go to New York, buy a flat

and I'm gonna study acting.

You don't need acting school.

You're a natural.

Think so?

Know so.

Other side!

He's good.

The stars are out tonight

as statesmen and celebrities roll up...

...to celebrate the signing

of the Midnight Peace Accord...

...by the leaders

of Russia and Great Britain.

After many months of shuttle diplomacy

and behind-the-scenes negotiations...

Listen, Sergei, you said,

"Kill Spenser, kill girl and get letters."

You said nothing about

American Superman.

Daggenhurst here.

You did not tell me about American agent!

- Say again.

- Don't play with me!

If we cannot trust each other, how

can we bring back Cold War together?

Now, listen here, comrade.

I know nothing about any American agent.

If you're afraid your pinpoint bomb

can't take out that top table...

...at least tell me.

Russian explosive is perfect!

Will destroy everything in five-meter circle
