:27:01
One doesn't talk about that.
One gets by.
:27:04
Allow me, gentlemen.
Another round.
:27:07
A little schnapps with your beer
can't hurt, Inspector.
:27:09
Besides, it's all tax-deductible.
:27:13
Karl, one more.
:27:15
The hotel engineer is,
of course, included.
:27:16
I'm sorry, Mr. Mistelzweig.
Perhaps later, though.
:27:18
The freezer for the kitchen
downstairs is on the blink.
:27:20
Most likely it's a short. Do you have
the key to the machine room?
:27:24
No, but there must be
a spare downstairs.
:27:26
I can't find it.
Please come with me.
:27:28
Go ahead and pour my drink.
I'll be right back.
:27:34
Do you have an office
here at the hotel?
:27:36
My office? No, no.
:27:38
My office is here--
in my head.
:27:41
I do my business at the Luxor...
:27:43
but I wouldn't take a permanent office
here if they gave it to me for free.
:27:45
What don't you like
about the hotel?
:27:47
Just between you and me:
It's not under a lucky star...
:27:50
like anything the Nazis started
near the end of the war.
:27:53
What does that have to do
with the Luxor?
:27:56
People aren't the only ones influenced
by the constellations upon their birth.
:28:01
- A building is too.
- Come on now!
:28:03
- A building isn't born!
- Oh, yes, it is, Inspector.
:28:06
The placement of its cornerstone
is its birth hour...
:28:10
and the cornerstone for the Luxor
was laid by the Nazis in May '44...
:28:14
when they still believed
in final victory.
:28:17
The bigwigs in the SS wanted
to build a few grand hotels...
:28:21
for politicians and diplomats...
:28:23
all in one huge cluster,
so they could spy on everybody.
:28:27
No, the Luxor has a negative aura.
:28:30
But your business is thriving here
nevertheless.
:28:32
Well, in a hotel like this there are
always people with a lot of money.
:28:34
There's jewelry or baggage to insure,
or travel insurance to write.
:28:39
My wife has always wanted me
to buy life insurance.
:28:42
It all depends on the stars,
Inspector.
:28:45
It's all in the stars.
:28:47
Considering your profession...
:28:50
you could be dead tomorrow,
right?
:28:53
I mean, since you're always
in dangerous situations.
:28:55
Criminals never sleep,
do they?
:28:57
But perhaps we could
work something out.
:28:59
Call me at the office
in the morning.
