:42:02
I think this is a mistake.
Tell her l'm out of town on a case.
:42:05
- Do you think that's wise?
- Is talking to her wise?
:42:08
You were his immediate superior.
:42:11
"Were." You really think he's... past tense?
:42:15
- It seems possible.
- It would be wonderful.
:42:17
Sooner or later,
a persistent reporter, like Marie Jouvet...
:42:21
But what can l say? What can l tell her?
:42:23
- That l thought him an imbecile?
- No.
:42:25
That l thought him the luckiest man in the
world with the brain of a retarded clam?
:42:30
Of course not.
:42:32
You know he was an idiot,
l know he was an idiot,
:42:35
but to everyone else he was the greatest
detective since Sherlock Holmes.
:42:39
- If l tell the truth...
- Then don't. He's gone.
:42:42
Give them the hero they want.
It's no skin off your nose.
:42:46
But is he really gone?
:42:49
I've got this ghastly feeling that one
of these days - next week or tomorrow -
:42:53
I'll open the trunk of my car
or my closet and "Peekaboo!"
:42:57
But even so,
l really don't think you have a choice.
:43:01
What if l don't bring it off? You know me
where Clouseau is concerned.
:43:05
My emotions are just lurking
below the surface like a floating mine.
:43:09
- Oh, God. I can't do it.
- You can do it.
:43:12
I can do it? Yes, l can do it.
:43:16
No, you do it.
:43:29
Miss Jouvet.
:43:32
Ah, Miss Jouvet. How nice of you to come.
:43:36
Please, make yourself comfortable.
Pull up a clam.
:43:40
How would you describe
lnspector Clouseau?
:43:43
Well... I've neverknown a man like him.
:43:48
He was... He was unique.
:43:51
- (Marie) Could you be more specifiic?
- (Dreyfus) l could be, but...
:43:55
To start with, he was...
:43:59
unorthodox.
