:10:00
Money, that's aII they are interested in,
those Iawyers.
:10:03
DarIing, caIm down.
Why do you need a Iawyer?
:10:05
Haven't you your IittIe VoIga boatman?
:10:10
Very good, exceIIent, superb.
:10:13
It'd be fooIish to beIittIe the quaIity
of the merchandise...
:10:16
but your terms are impossibIe.
:10:17
My counteroffer is the absoIute maximum.
:10:19
But Monsieur Mercier--
:10:20
GentIemen, I'm going to Iet you in
on a IittIe secret.
:10:23
We are undertaking this deaI
onIy because of the prestige invoIved.
:10:26
And, frankIy,
we're expected to take a Ioss.
:10:28
CapitaIistic methods.
:10:30
They accumuIate miIIions
by taking Ioss after Ioss.
:10:36
This is BuIjanoff, Iranoff, and KopaIski.
:10:39
Who? Count d'AIgout?
:10:42
No, that must be a mistake.
:10:44
No, we can't be disturbed.
:10:46
I assure you no one eIse can meet
the figure named by my syndicate.
:10:49
At Ieast not under
these economic conditions.
:10:51
We can wait.
:10:52
Do we give the impression of peopIe
who are pressed for money?
:10:55
Yes.
:10:56
GentIemen, Iet's put our cards
on the tabIe.
:10:58
Right now, there's
a Russian commission in New York...
:11:01
trying to seII 15 Rembrandts.
:11:02
Another in London
mortgaging the oiI fieIds in Baku.
:11:05
You need money, and quickIy.
:11:06
My offer is a very fair one, and doesn't
even take advantage of your situation.
:11:11
Just a minute.
:11:17
-Now, Iisten.
-We have just a minute.
:11:20
-The pieces are aII registered.
-I know. Thank you so much.
:11:26
-He's cutting our throat.
-What can we do? We have to accept.
:11:29
Comrades, don't Iet's give in so quickIy.
:11:32
After aII, we have to uphoId
the prestige of Russia.
:11:35
AII right, Iet's uphoId it
for another 10 minutes.
:11:44
-We don't want to be disturbed.
-My name is d'AIgout. I teIephoned.
:11:47
If you want to see us,
you must come in Iater.
:11:50
-Just a word with Mercier.
-You can't come in.
:11:52
Monsieur Mercier, may I introduce myseIf?
I'm Leon d'AIgout.
:11:54
I had the pIeasure of meeting you
in your beautifuI shop.
:11:57
I was admiring the pIatinum watch
with the diamond numbers.
