And now this:
"Wanted for murder: Erique Claudin,
:29:04
former violinist at Paris Opera House."
:29:06
"Age 48 years, height 5ft 8in."
:29:09
"The face has recently
been disfigured by acid."
:29:12
It's an outrage.
After 20 years with the Paris Opera,
:29:15
this miserable Claudin has
the insolence to commit a murder.
:29:18
After 20 years with the Paris Opera,
:29:20
- A man is capable of anything, Amiot.
- (knock on door)
:29:23
Come in, come in, come in!
:29:25
Monsieur, there is a thief
in the opera house.
:29:28
A costume has been stolen,
and two masks.
:29:31
Impossible. The wardrobe
woman must have lost them.
:29:34
- She should have been dismissed.
- She's too fat.
:29:36
That's not all. The thief has
broken into the restaurant.
:29:40
- The restaurant?
- Yes, monsieur. There is missing a...
:29:44
There is missing a bucket of pickled
pigs' feet in vinegar, a ham and a pâté.
:29:50
Call the police. This must be stopped.
:29:53
Monsieur, I am afraid
the police can't stop that. It's he.
:29:57
Who?
:29:59
Oh, please don't start that
nonsense again, Vercheres.
:30:02
You ought to know
there aren't any ghosts.
:30:04
Monsieur, you are sceptical, but
I don't like ghosts. I am a busy man.
:30:08
What's that?
:30:10
Our brilliant stage manager insists
there's a malicious ghost prowling about.
:30:14
If anything goes wrong,
he thinks this ghost did it.
:30:17
Oh, monsieur...
:30:22
- It has a long nose and a big, red beard.
- You make me nervous.
:30:26
It's gone!
:30:28
Did you hear that, Lecours?
My master key is gone.
:30:33
Do you realise what that means, Lecours?
:30:36
With that key in his possession,
the thief can open 2500 doors,
:30:40
to say nothing of thousands
of closets and cabinets.
:30:43
Perhaps the pickled pigs' feet will kill him.
:30:46
Oh, you don't seem to understand.
Why, he can hide everywhere.
:30:50
The entire police force couldn't find him.
:30:52
You don't realise the extent of this place.
You've never troubled to find out.
:30:56
Why should I? I have troubles enough.
:30:59
- What are you waiting for? Get the police!
- Yes, monsieur.
