The Pink Panther Page #4

My leaving has nothing

to do with last night.

- Hasn't it?

- You don't know me very well.

No, but l thought l was making progress.

That was champagne, nothing more.

- Whatever it was, it was very interesting.

- l don't remember.

- That's such an awful old clich.

- lt's true.

Women have half a glass too much

and let down the barriers a little,

then wake up guilty and try to reclaim

their virtue by saying ''l don't remember.''

- Are you saying my virtue is not intact?

- You know it is.

- Then why should l feel guilty?

- You're not worried about what happened,

but about what might have happened.

That makes you vulnerable.

That makes you a woman.

You're an arrogant fool.

Perhaps l am. But after what l just said, a

real woman would have slapped my face.

- l'm glad that's over. Friends again?

- Friends.

Good. The least you can do is

let me take you to the station.

All right.

- You really have to go?

- Yes.

That's too bad.

Nothing l can say to make you stay?

- Nothing.

- What time do you have to be there?

- Three o'clock.

- Three o'clock, on the dot, l'll be here.

Your Highness.

Three o'clock.

Do we have to start

the lessons right away?

That's what we're up here for.

l was hoping we could

talk about last night.

We can talk about that later.

- You were more fun in bed.

- Will you do me a favour, Mr Lytton?

- lf you call me George.

- Forget about last night.

l was impetuous. l had too much to drink.

l'd just had a fight with my husband.

That might make it easier for you

to forget, but l didn't sleep a wink.

lt was a very frustrating experience.

That's your problem.

But l wouldn't make any plans.

l never make any plans. l just sort of...

follow my instincts, you know?

George... it's four miles down the

mountain and l'm a very good skier.

Follow your instincts too closely

and you'll break your neck.

The first things to learn

about skiing are the fundamentals.

Let's see you turn around.

lt's not as easy as it looks.

Let me give you a hand.

- Let's try something easier.

- Now, George!

- lt's a lot easier.

- You were going to watch those instincts!

- l'm busy. You watch 'em.

- You're abominable!

That's me, the abominable snowman.

Now, George, stop it!

Oh, George!

lmbcile!

Perhaps we'll meet again.

Goodbye, Sir Charles.

Just a minute.

- That's him. There he goes.

- Who?

The man who stole your dog.

ln that little car.

Hup!

Hah-hup!

Hah-hup! Wah-hup!

Whoa.

- How's it going?

- l'll miss her.

Never get too involved with your victims.

- Shall we get out in the open?

- No, it's a bit hard here. Come on.

That's good. That's OK.

All right. Start. Give it to me now.

Now my turn.

- How close are they?

- Now!

Ready?

Come on, little doggy. Here we are.

Look out!

She's got the dog. l will see you later.

- You have a wonderful smile.

- l have a great deal to smile about.

l have Amber back,

and l'm having a wonderful time.

- You missed your train.

- There is one at midnight and tomorrow.

Perhaps l should arrange to have your dog

kidnapped again. You'd be bound to stay.

Did you arrange to have

her kidnapped the first time?

Of course.

Well, l am willing to bet you 10,000 francs

that the Phantom is in Cortina at this very

moment. Even, perhaps, in this room.

How exciting!

What do you think, Mr Tucker?

l agree. Ten of his last 15 victims have

been guests at Angela Dunning's parties.

What are we all talking about?

- The notorious Phantom.

- l'm afraid l've never heard of him.

He seems to be quite a fellow.

There are few thieves

who are as clever as the Phantom.

Each theft is completely different

and unique, classic in its conception.

l thought your theory is

that he does repeat himself.

Only as far as Angela Dunning's

parties are concerned.

However, there is one other duplication.

But that is his... trademark,

his calling card, so to speak.

He always leaves

a white monogrammed glove.

Sounds theatrical.

Your Highness, if l were the Phantom,

l'd have chosen my victim already.

Really? And who would that be?

Who owns the most fabulous

diamond in the world?

- l suppose l do.

- Exactly. The Pink Panther.

Such a prize, he could never resist.

He'd be disappointed.

The Pink Panther is in my safe at...

Your Highness, please.

Don't say it, not here.

Your Highness, l read there was a dispute

over the ownership of the Pink Panther.

lt belongs to me.

lt was a gift from my late father.

- l shall never surrender it.

- Why should you?

When the government seized power, they

claimed it was the property of the people.

There's talk of the international court

deciding the issue.

Why don't l steal the diamond,

and you and l can split the insurance?

All right.

l feel like dancing. Your Highness?

l'd love to.

- How about you, madame?

- Yes, of course.

- Your leg is better, Sir Charles?

- What?

- l say, your leg is better.

- Yes. Much better, thank you.

You know, Mr Tucker... Argh!

- That's my beer, old man.

- My hand, l burnt it. l'm sorry.

Sit down.

- lt is working out better than we expected.

- We've only found out that it's not here.

You'll have no trouble

discovering where it is.

Her Highness seems

to be completely captivated.

l'd say that's an exaggeration.

You're either showing a touch of senility

or you need glasses.

When l'm showing my senility, you'll

be playing with your grandchildren.

- One has to have children first.

- You wouldn't dare.

Jacques would make a wonderful father.

He has many redeeming qualities.

- Name one.

- He's kind, loyal, faithful, obedient.

- You married a boy scout or a dachshund.

- And he adores me.

That eliminates the boy scouts.

- Good night.

- Thank you.

- Ah.

- You seem to have lost something.

- Yes.

- How'd you like to borrow mine?

- Thanks, Uncle Charles. Yes.

- Madame.

- You've been avoiding me.

- That about describes it.

- Know what l've been thinking?

- Yes. That's why l've avoided you.

l don't think you were really looking

for me in my uncle's bedroom.

- Don't be ridiculous!

- l mean it.

Not the way you treated me today.

Know what l think?
