:40:00
Well, you've had your talk with Cairo.
:40:03
Now you can talk to me.
:40:05
Yes, of course.
:40:07
I'm listening.
:40:10
I'm still listening.
:40:11
- Look at the time! I must be going.
- No. Not till you've told me all about it.

:40:15
Am I a prisoner?
:40:17
Maybe the boy outside
hasn't gone home yet.

:40:21
Do you suppose he's still there?
:40:23
Likely.
:40:26
You can start now.
:40:32
You are the most insistent person.
:40:34
And wild and unpredictable, huh?
:40:37
Say, what's this bird, this falcon,
that everybody's all steamed up about?

:40:41
Supposing I wouldn't tell you anything
about it?

:40:43
Would you do something
wild and unpredictable?

:40:47
I might.
:40:50
It's a black figure, as you know,
smooth and shiny...

:40:53
...of a bird, a hawk or falcon,
about that high.

:40:56
Here.
:40:59
- What makes it so important?
- I don't know. They wouldn't tell me.

:41:03
They offered me £500 if I'd help get it away
from the man who had it.

:41:06
That was in Istanbul?
:41:08
Marmara.
:41:10
Go ahead.
:41:11
But that's all.
:41:13
They promised me £500
if I'd help them, and I did.

:41:17
Then we found out that Joel Cairo intended
to desert us...

:41:20
...taking the falcon with him
and leaving Floyd and me nothing...

:41:23
...so we did exactly that to him.
:41:26
But, I wasn't any better off than before.
:41:28
Floyd had no intention
of keeping his promise...

:41:30
...about sharing equally.
I'd learned that when we got here.

:41:33
What's the bird made of?
:41:35
Porcelain or black stone. I don't know.
I only saw it once for a few minutes.

:41:39
Floyd showed it to me
when we first got hold of it.

:41:41
You are a liar!
:41:46
I am.
:41:48
I've always been a liar.
:41:50
Don't brag about it.
:41:53
Was there any truth at all in that yarn?
:41:56
Some.
:41:57
Not very much.
