in the Virginia Slims tournament?

In women's tennis, I always

root against the heterosexual.

- Have you heard from Cedric?

- Yes, he was just here.

Wait in your hotel room.

He will meet you there.

This letter has to be

in New York by Tuesday.

Now go. Quickly.

Excuse me. I am sorry, madam...

but this evening is only

for guests of the cultural festival.

Your Ripple Blanc, sir.

I have explained to you...

Jurgen, escort this lady out.

Excuse me,

but this lady's with me.

Ah, Mr. Rivers.

A thousand pardons, madam.

After you, my dear.

You're just in time.

You know, I don't think I've ever

seen you looking so lovely.

Thank you.

That was very kind of you.

My pleasure. I was looking

for someone to dance with.

- You're an American.

- That's right.

- My uncle was born in America.

- Oh, really.

But he was one of the lucky ones.

He managed to escape in a balloon

during the Jimmy Carter presidency.

I bet he's got

a lot of great stories.

Yes.

He would tell me about all the

large houses and expensive cars...

and how the young people waste

their time watching television...

and listening

to rock-and-roll music.

What's wrong with television?

Not all television. MASH was okay,

and the old Mary Tyler Moore Show.

It just seems like the young people

of America take freedom for granted.

Now, wait a minute.

I don't think you're being fair.

You know, my history class

once spent...

an entire week in Philadelphia.

Maybe so. You can talk about freedom

all you want...

but still you don't know what

it's like to have to fight for it.

Perhaps my lecture was unwarranted.

I am grateful

for what you did back there.

Well, you know,

I think you'd really like America.

We've got the Liberty Bell,

Disneyland on both coasts.

It's happening.

I'm sorry.

I really don't know any German.

That's all right. I know a little

German. He's sitting over there.

Anything's fine.

- Thank you, um...

- Hillary.

Hillary.

That's an unusual name.

It's a German name. It means

"she whose bosoms defy gravity."

Pleased to meet you.

My name is Nick.

Nick? What does that mean?

Oh, nothing. My dad thought of it

while he was shaving.

Are you in some kind of trouble

with the police?

Some things are much better

left unsaid.

Like what?

Well, you know...

sometimes when you blow your nose

into a tissue...

and you put it in your purse,

then a little while later...

you have to reach in there

for your lipstick or something...

- and your hand gushes into it and...

- Okay, you're right.

Some things are better left unsaid.

Thank you very much.

Ladies and gentlemen...

we are fortunate

to have with us tonight...

a singer whose great talent...

is exceeded only by his devotion

to his country.

He truly has the gift of song,

a golden voice...

- inspired talent...

- Is there something wrong?

And a charming personality.

I was afraid something like this

might happen.

General Streck of the high command

is a most fervent admirer...

and owns a complete set

of his works.

Now, he is a very shy

and gentle man...

but perhaps we could persuade him

to sing for us.

Shall we ask him?

I'd better do what they want.

I promised my manager.

Thank you, sir.

Okay, watch the change

in the second chorus.

Oh, my God.

Tutti frutti au rutti

Got a girl named Sue

She knows just what to do

She knows how to love me

yes, indeed

Oh boy, you don't know

what you do to me

Tutti frutti au rutti

Got a girl named Daisy

She almost drive me crazy

She rocked me to the East

She rocked me to the West

But she's the girl

that I love best

Tutti frutti au rutti

Cedric!

Cedric, what have they done to you?

It was a trap.

They must have known I was

staying at the Howard Johnson's.

- But who did this?

- Never mind about that.

We've got to rescue your father

before it's too late.

But what are we going to do?

I was...

supposed to go

to the ballet tonight...

meet a man called "The Torch."

Thank you.

He's the leader of the Resistance.

He'll help us find your father.

- I'll go.

- No, you can't go.

It's too dangerous.

But I must.

He'll be tortured.

All right, but be very careful

at the ballet.

- Where is the ticket?

- In the glove compartment.

Can you reach it from the inside?

How about the other hand?

Oh, no, that's not it.

Let me try.

Here it is.

- We've got to get out of here.

- We oughta wait for the police.

That was the police!

In here!

Here. We can get out this way.

Wait a minute.

First you can explain a few things.

I'm not sure I can.

I only know I've put you

in great danger.

Please trust me.

You must come with me!

Look, I don't know

what kind of trouble you're in...

but don't worry about me,

I'm a guest of the government.

- I can explain everything.

- You're mistaken. They'll put you...

Go while you still can.

They can't do anything to me.

Martin!

Boy, am I glad to see you.

I've been here 20 minutes already.

Nick, I tried everything.

The embassy, the German government,

the consulate...

I even talked to the UN ambassador.

It's no use.

I just can't

bring my wife to orgasm.

Gee, that's a shame, Martin.

Well, have you tried one of these?

Wow. Well, thanks.

I'll give it a whirl.

Now listen, Martin. I'm getting

a little worried about this place.

I don't think they've

ever even heard of a trial.

All I know is after you left

the cafe last night, I met a girl.

Then, later at the ballet,

she's sitting all alone.

Then all of a sudden I see a guy

who has a gun at her head...

and he's looking like

he's gonna kill her.

And he might have

if I hadn't stepped in.

There's gotta be

someone you can call...

that can straighten this mess out.

I figure they gotta let you out

for your concert Friday night.

They're beaming it live by satellite

to 85 countries.

Now, you just relax. And remember,

there's nothing to worry about.

Amen.

We wish to impress upon you,

Mr. Rivers...

that we have methods of dealing

with those who will not cooperate.

Now for the last time,

why did you attack Sergeant Kruger?

I didn't know who it was.

I just saw him pull a gun on a girl.

Might I remind you, Mr. Rivers...

that the penalty for murder

is death by firing squad.

Let us hope for your sake

that Sgt. Kruger survives.

Ja.

It is the hospital,

mein General.

What is the condition

of Sgt. Kruger?

Yes. I see.

Well, let me know if there's

any change in his condition.

He's dead.

I'm afraid you leave me no

alternative but to introduce you...

to two of my associates.

Bruno is almost blind...

has to operate wholly by touch.

Klaus is a moron who knows only

what he reads in the New York Post.

I believe they never let a man

lose consciousness...

how ever long

they may work upon him.

You don't scare me.

My manager is on his way right now

to the American consulate.

Do not be so sure, Mr. Rivers.

Evidently, your friend did not

realize that here in East Germany...

we use 220-volt current.

He was found in his hotel room...
