- Who's forcing you?

Open the door

in the name of the law.

Would you, please, sir,

answer the door?

Excuse me, darling.

Lady Litton,

I am "force-ed"

to arrest you.

And if you do not open

this door, I will have no...

alternative but to

break it down.

Very well.

Guy, you're all wet.

There was a defect

in my plumbing.

Lady Litton, listen to me.

I have-

I have deceived you.

I am not Guy Gadbois.

I am Inspector Clouseau

of the Suret,

and it is my painful duty

to arrest you.

Do you know my husband?

Yes, I must confess I do.

I met him several years ago.

When I meet him again

I shall arrest him immediately.

Then you must've met Colonel Sharki?

Oh, that idiot from

the Lugash Secret Police.

Yes, I know him. And when I-

Sir Charles Litton,

I arrest you in the name

of the law, and I warn you-

What?

Before you get all worked up,

there's something you must know.

He intends to kill all of us.

Who?

Colonel Sharki.

Good Sharki, Colonel God,

we were just talking about you.

Well, as you can see, I've got

the whole case buttoned up.

Everything is sewn up.

This is Sir Charles Phantom,

the famous Pink Litton,

who stole the-

What did you say?

He was going to kill us.

If you can persuade him

to change his mind-

You're joking,

of course?

No.

You're going to

kill me as well?

With pleasure.

Is there anything I can do that will

make you change your mind?

Uh, well, there's nothing

that I can think of.

Supposing that

I thought of something.

Hmm, for instance?

Well, uh,

for instance,

supposing I told you

that your fly was undone?

By remarkable coincidence,

so is yours.

Oh, no, not again.

Ah, I see you are familiar

with the "open fly" ploy.

Well, so am I.

Oh, you are so naughty.

"Falling on the bed with

the arm on the floor" ploy.

Very interesting.

He's been shot dead, idiot.

Don't you call me an idiot.

What? Who's that?

Be careful, darling.

Well, he's either reloading

or out of ammunition.

He's out of his mind.

That's what he's out of.

I'll kill him.

I'll kill him.

Monsieur!

Kill you!

Out of my way.

Chief Inspector Dreyfus

was tried and found not guilty

by reason of insanity.

Clouseau, the famous detective,

was decorated by General Wadafi.

Then, he went back to France

where I believe he took

over the position...

vacated by

the madman Dreyfus.

There it is, ladies

and gentlemen.

The largest diamond

in the world.

And surely the most famous,

or infamous if you prefer.

The Pink Panther.

What ever happened

to Sir Charles?

As far as anyone knows, he still

is living the quiet life...

at his villa

in the south of France.

Although, there has been a rumor

that the notorious Phantom...

is back at work, and although

it has long been suspected...

that Sir Charles and the Phantom

are one and the same,

it has never been proved.

Mark my words, Francois,

before the week is out...

I will definitely have proof that

Sir Charles Litton is the Phantom.

Did you enjoy your food?

Oh, yes. Very nice.

You probably guessed

I've got a passion

for the Oriental food, huh?

Cato usually does some cooking

for me, but recently he has taken

to attacking me at every chance.

It's very bad for the digestion.

That is very strange, Francois.

I don't ever recall receiving...

the fortune cookie

in a Japanese restaurant.

- What does it say?

- We shall see.

"Beware of Japanese waitress...

bearing fortune cookies."

Japanese waitress?

Cato! Cato!

No, you idiot!

Oh, I'm so terribly sorry-

Stop, Cato, no.

Enough, enough.

Enough I say.

Get your little yellow hands

off of me.

You must remember

my new position in the force.

You've devastated my-

my sukiyaki in there.

Ah, you fool.

You raving oriental idiot.

There is a time and a place

for everything, Cato.

And this is it.

Kill him. Kill him.
