- Im saying, when the IRS--

I have nothing to hide

from the IRS,

- you purchased a first-class ticket--

- I explained that. The ticket was--

- You got any undisclosed bank accounts?

- What?

No gold, no foreign money?

I'm just a salaried employee,

No Swiss bank accounts?

No, I told you--

you've got

at the Credit National de Geneve...

a numbered account

opened last week,

There's nothing in that account,

- Then what's it doing there?

- It's just a joke.

Goddamn it, man,

Won't you come clean?

Don't you know you're beat?

It's over, It's all done,

I told you, look,

Believe me, look.

The man is--

He's obviously--

you must have a file on him.

- Who?

- Jimmy Dell,

you must have a record of him,

He's a career criminal,

A record?

Where would we find

such a record?

you want to give us

a photograph, fingerprints?

- His fingerprints?

- Something with his fingerprints,

Anything he touched. Anything?

Is that your signature?

yes.

Planning a trip to Venezuela?

Why would I go to Venezuela?

They have no extradition treaty

with the United States,

Im not going to Venezuela,

This is a request for political asylum

from the Republic of Venezuela,

you just told me you signed it.

Now, Mr. Ross,

if I told you this story...

would you believe it?

I want a lawyer,

I would say so,

If the process is gone,

if we've lost it...

why, then, my family and I--

This is my retirement, Joe,

This is what I've worked for.

I have nothing in the bank,

If this goes--

Well, look,..

I brought this on myself,

and I apologize,

If my actions drove you to this--

Mr. Klein, this is not the time,

and it's really not required of you--

Be quiet,

I'm going to finish this.

Im asking you--

no, I'm pleading with you--

however you want to put it

and whatever trouble you're in...

I swear I will help you,

Ive paid your bail,

I won't press charges,

I've asked that

my charges be dropped.

But please bring it back to me,

Don't let it go to the Japanese,

Bring it back,

Thank you,

youll be back.

- Hey, George.

- Yeah, Joe.

- I need to talk,

- Im not well.

George, I need to talk to you,

I know you're sick, but--

Yeah. The problem?

I need your help and your advice,

So come over.

yeah.

Get up,

I'm in the living room,

Then I thought that perhaps

I had done it,

But you haven't done it,

What are you talking about?

My greed.

you've done nothing,

Someone has singled you out...

to take advantage of you.

No, it has something to do with--

Who are you calling?

Im calling in sick,

Please enter

your security ID number...

and the extension of the person

you wish to speak with...

or leave a message

after the tone.

This is Susan Ricci,

I've got the flu, I won't be in today,

Well, you're always

getting it wrong.

That's why they picked you, isn't it?

you're the innocent, you're the victim,

Im the Boy Scout,

Call it whatever you want,

but we're gonna get out of it,

Now listen,

Here's what we're going to do.

What?

That's just Mrs. Ramon.

All right, now listen,

There's gotta be some record of this

Mr. Dell, some record of his face,

There's gotta be something

he left his fingerprints on.

- When we find that, the police--

- Security camera,

The hotel had a security camera.

They save the tapes for insurance.

His face is on the videotape,

I have very little money.

Why don't you take this?

I don't have a passport.

Don't need a passport for St, Estphe,

you got a driver's license?

I left my bloody fingerprints

all over the apartment,

Well, that's what happened then,

isn't it?

And Im the only one

with a motive,

Well, let's clear it up then,

Hey, what do you think?

Don't you doubt me

for an instant?

- I don't doubt you, no.

- Why?

Because I'm stuck on you.

I believe we have a problem,

Good morning, ma'am, sir.

Scream at me,

Well, this is the end,

you stupid Mick!

Do you think wanted to go

to your drunken family?

you call it a holiday?

It's a disgrace!

Its 8:
00 in the morning, you are drunk

and you forgot the tickets!

- And you expect me to drive home--

- Could you please pull your car over?

I am not pulling the car over,

I am not going to Toronto...

and I am not going anywhere

but dump this disgrace at home!

Do you think it's all Irish

and charming to behave this way?

you disgust me!

All right, keep moving

out of the terminal.

you bet I'm gonna keep moving

out of the terminal! Don't smile at me!

Let's go. Come on.

What is it?

They played me for such a fool,

Such a fool.

training early on,

What do you mean?

Somebody screws around with you,

you don't get morose.

you go out

and get even with 'em,

Look, there's bad people in the world,

you just ran into some of them,

How do I get to St, Estphe now?

The traditional way, you fly.

They're looking for me

at the airports.

Not gonna be looking for you

in Boston.

- How do you know?

- St. Paddy's Day in Boston.

Aren't gonna be looking too hard

for much of anything.

- I don't have a ticket,

- Then it's a good thing I do,

you just take everything in stride,

Next time be born Italian.

- That's the thing to do,

- you thought of everything.

Ain't hard to do,

Im fond of you,

What?

Crikey!

When in Rome--

Oh, yes, Erin go brag.

Thanks.

- We'll be here for an hour,

- They won't be looking for you here.

Take the camera. Get a picture

of the girl who played the princess,

- Can that help?

- It can't hurt.

If you can think of any other thing,
