He may have overstepped
his function as a waiter...

1:20:02
but he fuIfiIIed his duty as a Russian.
1:20:05
I just put this on for sentiment.
The rest are absoIuteIy safe, I assure you.

1:20:10
-But if you feeI Iike notifying the poIice....
-You Ieave me no choice.

1:20:13
Won't it be rather embarrassing
for a Soviet envoy...

1:20:15
to discIose the circumstances
under which she Iost them?

1:20:18
I'II have to face the consequences,
but so wiII you.

1:20:21
Don't forget,
they'II ask you how you got them.

1:20:23
That's very simpIe to answer.
They were given to me by my mother.

1:20:27
They were given to her by her mother.
1:20:29
In fact, they're mine.
You can't steaI what beIongs to you.

1:20:32
They aIways beIonged
to the Russian peopIe.

1:20:34
They paid for them with their bIood,
their Iives, and you'II give them back.

1:20:37
I toId you we had pIenty to taIk about.
ShaII we sit down?

1:20:41
Let's free ourseIves from emotionaIism...
1:20:43
and try to soIve the probIem
in a practicaI way.

1:20:46
Our situation has considerabIy changed.
1:20:48
Before I had onIy a cIaim to the jeweIs.
Now I have the jeweIs.

1:20:52
In other words,
moraI ideas have no weight with you.

1:20:55
AII right, then Iet's deaI with IegaI facts.
You know...

1:20:58
-France has recognized the Soviet.
-UnfortunateIy.

1:21:00
Under the Soviet Iaw,
the jeweIs beIong to the State.

1:21:03
-France is going to uphoId that ownership.
-Yes, my Iawyer agrees with you.

1:21:06
He says that France wiII uphoId it
in every court...

1:21:09
but I wiII drag you through every court,
don't forget that.

1:21:13
And when I say it wiII take two years...
1:21:15
I am, as aIways, conservative.
1:21:18
Won't those two years in court
be expensive for you?

1:21:21
I know money was no object...
1:21:22
as Iong as you couId squeeze it out of
the pockets of the peopIe.

1:21:25
I may run out of money,
but you have aIready run out of bread.

1:21:28
Two years is a Iong time
for your comrades to wait.

1:21:32
I see. You've caIcuIated it
in terms of hunger.

1:21:36
No, I just wanted
to be absoIuteIy impartiaI.

1:21:40
Both of us are faced
with two rather uncomfortabIe years.

1:21:43
We can condense those two years
to two minutes...

1:21:46
-if you want to accept my proposition.
-Go on.

1:21:50
I am wiIIing to hand over the jeweIs
and sign any necessary papers...

1:21:55
if you wiII take that 5:40 pIane to Moscow.
