:38:01
The police? Man, where's your spirit?
lf we wait for the police...
:38:05
the Venus will be out of the country!
We'll never set eyes on it again.
:38:09
De Solnay, l'm still vitally interested
in the Cellini Venus, hot or cold.
:38:14
Do you know what l mean by that?
:38:16
Leland! Do you know what you're saying?
You're compounding a felony.
:38:21
Offering to become
a receiver of stolen goods.
:38:24
l'm an art lover.
:38:27
As a public service, l want to make
an independent inquiry to help the police.
:38:32
ls that a crime?
:38:33
And if you find it,
a step ahead of the police?
:38:36
You let me worry about that.
:38:38
-No, l'm an art dealer, not a fence.
-A fence?
:38:42
l'll do it entirely on my own.
All l need is an opening contact.
:38:47
-De Solnay? All right.
-Wait!
:38:52
There happens to be a man in Paris
at the moment...
:38:54
who specializes in matters of fine art.
:38:57
His name is.... No, Leland, please!
Think of what you're trying to do.
:39:02
-What about Nicole Bonnet?
-l want both. Nicole and the Venus.
:39:05
Leland, remember?
l sold you your first painting.
:39:08
l made you a collector.
l thought it'd help you relax.
:39:11
lt's great!
l've never been so relaxed in all my life!
:39:14
-Yes, l can see that.
-All right. The name!
:39:17
The name is Simon Dermott.
He is staying at the Ritz.
:39:20
Night Fighter calling Dawn Patrol.
:39:23
Our telephone may be tapped, so we will
conduct this conversation in Swahili.
:39:27
How are you?
:39:29
Did you sleep well?
:39:31
Simon, isn't it too awful?
l slept beautifully!
:39:34
And l've just eaten an enormous breakfast.
lsn't it ghastly?
:39:38
lt's your tainted blood.
:39:41
Who? What?
:39:43
She's fine. She's wrapped up in one
of my old shirts, just as snug as can be.
:39:48
l rocked her to sleep in my arms last night.
:39:50
lt's the first time
l ever did that with a grandmother.
