:41:01
- Won't you sit down?
- Thank you.
:41:07
Come in.
:41:12
Thank you.
:41:14
- Will you excuse me for a minute?
- Certainly, Countess.
:41:26
Lord Dunsmore wants us to join him
on a Mediterranean cruise.
:41:42
I beg your pardon. I was so interested
in reading about this case.
:41:46
You mean the one about the pearl necklace?
:41:48
I don't know how it got in the papers.
:41:49
It just makes it
so much more difficult for me.
:41:52
The woman in the case
seems to be very clever.
:41:54
Yes, but what makes it so difficult for me
is that her description varies.
:41:59
It's one of those typical cases
where one has to take a chance.
:42:03
Well, señor, you'll excuse me.
:42:05
I have an appointment at my hairdresser's.
:42:07
Now, Countess...
:42:10
It's so silly, but as I told you,
I have to do my duty.
:42:15
You see, this afternoon
an American arrived by plane...
:42:19
and he has made a complaint.
Oh, a fantastic story!
:42:22
A woman took his car and wrecked it.
:42:24
He's taken up so much of my time.
:42:26
But he threatened to go
to the American Consul, so I had no choice.
:42:30
I had to take the case in my hands.
What could I do? I am the police.
:42:35
We made the rounds of all the hotels,
Countess, but the description...
:42:40
Fits me?
:42:41
Well, it's absurd, Countess, but it does.
:42:45
Furthermore, you arrived this afternoon.
:42:47
It's all such nonsense, but everything fits.
:42:50
Now I'm forced to confront you
with this American...
:42:53
but, of course,
if you will assure me that you...
:42:55
- Oh, no. I insist on seeing this young man.
- Absolutely.
