:29:02
...they won't even let you
clean the sewers.
:29:05
I hate to see a young man like you
take a defeatist attitude.
:29:09
The world is full of opportunities.
Just look around.
:29:14
There's one-armed Jojo,
used to be a safecracker...
:29:18
...till he put a little too much
nitroglycerin in a vault.
:29:21
And Casablanca Charlie. Five years ago
he walked in with holes in his shoes...
:29:26
...and a pocketful of dirty postcards.
:29:29
Or take Hippolyte the Ox, used to be
a purse-snatcher around the market.
:29:34
They all started at the bottom, but they
had perseverance and drive and vision.
:29:40
Now they've got it made. They're retired.
They let their girls work for them.
:29:47
I'm afraid I wasn't
cut out for a life of crime.
:29:49
There you go, selling yourself short.
:29:52
Oh, maybe I could snatch a purse
or crack a small safe...
:29:56
...but to sit around in a striped suit
while some girl out in the street... never.
:30:01
You're being petit bourgeois again.
:30:03
Life is total war, my friend. Nobody has
a right to be a conscientious objector.
:30:15
- Cigarettes.
- A pack of Gitanes coming up.
:30:17
- Hello.
- Hello.
:30:20
- Nasty night, isn't it?
- It never fails.
:30:22
Wouldn't you know, just
this afternoon I gave her a permanent.
:30:26
- Put them on my bill.
- Uh...
:30:29
Can I buy you a cheap drink?
:30:31
Why not? Do you think
you can afford a peppermint tea?
:30:35
- Certainly.
- One peppermint tea coming up.
:30:39
- Here we are again.
- Again? Have we been together before?
:30:44
I guess you don't
recognise me out of uniform.
:30:48
Uniform? Oh, about a month ago.
:30:51
You're that sailor with Brigitte Bardot
tattooed on your chest?
:30:54
No, it was just this morning...
I arrested you.
:30:58
Oh. Oh, of course.
