1:27:02
By myself, in fact. And on
a more formal basis than hitherto.
1:27:07
l dare say that'll come
as a bit of a relief to you, Andrew.
1:27:10
Equipping an army, tedious business.
1:27:13
Not the sort of task
for your mercurial brain.
1:27:16
Best left to us humble
planners and plodders, eh?
1:27:19
lt's fine in principle, Scotty.
Just one snag.
1:27:24
They won't talk to anyone but me.
1:27:28
l think you'll find that,
however shy they are...
1:27:30
...they'll talk to a candid friend...
1:27:33
...who has $1 5 million
to spend on them.
1:27:36
Wouldn't you say, ambassador?
1:27:38
You know, for quite a while
l was skeptical...
1:27:42
...about this extraordinarily
silent opposition.
1:27:45
And l always thought that Mickie
Abraxas was just a harmless drunk.
1:27:51
Funny how wrong you can be.
1:27:54
Andy may have a real problem conjuring
up one of these people for you.
1:28:00
Afraid so, Scotty.
You could put it like this:
1:28:03
lf you don't go through me,
there is no Silent Opposition.
1:28:07
lt doesn't do to be too possessive.
1:28:10
We must be brave and wean them off
the Osnard teat, my boy.
1:28:14
Might l offer myself
as a go-between, so to speak...
1:28:19
...to verify Andy's dispersal
of these funds?
1:28:23
Kind of you to offer, ambassador.
Perhaps so.
1:28:26
Meanwhile, Andrew can brief me
on the details.
1:28:29
We have a lot to catch up on, eh?
1:28:31
Whiskey till the small hours
in the privacy of your abode...
1:28:34
...is indicated for Osnard
and Luxmore, l believe.
1:28:39
-Sure.
-Excellent, gentlemen.
1:28:41
Andrew, l take it you have
a secure safe in your apartment?
1:28:45
Absolutely, sir.
1:28:47
Fort Knox.
1:28:48
Ambassador.
1:28:50
l'll get my files.
