"There are no profoundly good or bad men, only men with good or bad moods." "Hurry up, you're late." "THE GOOD AND THE BAD" " Late again?" "THE GOOD AND THE BAD" "As you know, the dance can replace culture or even a good meal, why not?" "It can replace conversation!" "In that spirit and knowing the importance it can have..." "You're late!" "When you work with me you must never be late." "In that spirit, and knowing the importance it can have for the lives of two dancers in the first three minutes of contact I am going to teach you how they dance in the leading ballrooms of Europe." "Play a slow fox trot with that thing there..." "You're always late!" "This slow dance is always the first one learned and is therefore the last one to be danced." "You learn it because it permits you to choose after only three minutes the partner for the rest of your life." "So the technique is very, very easy." "It permits you to listen to your partner's heart." "It's very easy, ...rhythmic and regular..." "in cadence." "But a demonstration is better than an explanation." "Sir, if you please..." "My pal's there..." "But I asked you, please." "Your cigar's in the way, give it to your pal." "Watch the arm..." "A little tighter." "The music a little louder, please!" "Boys and girls together." "Very good!" "That's how you do it..." "My pal hasn't got a..." "Dance with him, then..." "see if I care." "Very good, dear... that's it." "Tighter...!" "Very good..." "Not very good, but you'll learn." "Very good..." "a little emotion in the face." "This is a slow fox trot." "Next week I will teach you the waltz." "It will be unforgettable!" "It's magnificent..." "You can imagine what the waltz is like..." "Very good." "Very, very good." "Are you alone, sir?" "Come on, come on." "Yes, like this." "Like this." "Very good." "Very good." "Emotion." "Emotion." "Emotion in the face." "Here, This'll have to do." "Lots of luck, Jacques." "Shall I call?" "Sure, call them." "Is Jacques here?" "Lots of luck." "Tomorrow the white car has to go faster than usual." "Usually it has to go faster than the cops!" "Hispano-Suiza?" "King of cars..." "car of kings!" "When I make it big, that's the car for me." "How fast can it go?" "It depends on the weather and who's driving it!" "That's for cigarettes..." "That's for the trip." "And don't forget, ...if you ever need Mr. Lafont, Mr. Lafont is always here." "I'll remember." "And "faster than the cops!"" "Thank you Mr. Lafont." "Thank you Mr. Lafont." "Thank you Mr. Lafont." "Is your mechanic here?" "You here to take more pictures?" "Publicity for you." "All right then, but make it quick!" "For the Panhard the other day..." "I talked to the ship company." "Take that away." "Wait..." "They said that if you win the bout, they'll pay our way back." "They'll pay our way back?" "You're sure?" "Sounds good..." "You'd better knock on wood!" "You knock on wood!" "Where'll I find wood in a Hispano motor?" "Got enough?" "One more!" "The last one..." "Okay." "Pretty good, huh?" "Wait!" "The towel's in the way." "Marcel Cerdan, the winner in the third round." "What's my name?" "Jacques..." "What's your name?" "What's your name?" "What's his name?" "For God's sake, what's your name?" "How many fingers?" "We've got to find a boat to take us back to France." "That's my last fight in Casablanca!" "Wait'll I get our share of the purse from those rug merchants." "Rug merchants!" "What if they screw us?" "Maybe we can sue Marcel Cerdan for assault and battery, and collect damages." "Ready for more bad news?" "We've been fired." "Due to prolonged absence." "Nobody loves a loser." "Mr. Lafont still wants to work with us." "Keep away from Lafont." "He's rotten to the core." "Rotten, shmotten..." "Now it's different." "We saw this in Paris." "Not in Arabic." "You like it?" "I don't dislike it." "May I phone?" " Not without buying a drink." " Good, thank you." " I said no!" " I heard you!" "I'm calling the police." "Yes, the police." "Commissioner Blanchot, please." "Daddy?" "I made it, with honors!" "Henceforth, you are one of the nation's elite." "Going to college is easy, leaving it is what's hard!" "Life is simple today." "Just avoid Jews and Communists." "...and niggers, queers, crooks, bums and masons..." "Your brother and his little jokes..." "I'm not joking." "Anyway, congratulations." "Hello, yes?" "Wonderful!" "I'll be right there." "Thank you." "Excuse me the Odeon killer has been trapped on a rooftop." " I was going to give you this later." " Thank you." "I'm proud of you." "I'm coming to take your gun, just hand it to me and I promise I'll help you." "Nobody move." "I should have taken him alive." "He'd have been condemned anyway, ...and we're talking about capital punishment." "It's my fault, I must have scared him." "I almost had him." " Want a lift?" " Yes, thank you." " It ought to get you a promotion." " I should hope so!" "How many men are at your caserne?" "2,648." "Why?" "If you're satisfied, spread the word." "Ever fall in love with a customer?" "I love 100 guys because I don't love any." "What if you fall in love with one?" "Then I'll love him like 100 guys at once, ...and I know what I'm talking about." "Isn't Room 41 free yet?" "They sure take their time!" "What's your rank?" "Lieutenant." "I should've charged you more." " How about dinner tonight?" " No." ""No, Lieutenant."" "And tomorrow night?" "It's still "No, Lieutenant."" "A little extra here..." "Sorry, I never kiss." "See you next week, beautiful." "Sure, next week, Lieutenant." "I've got it!" "We'll buy a taxi." "I'll drive days, you drive nights." "Why do I drive nights?" "Because it was my idea." " How do we buy a cab?" " Don't complicate things." "Wait till the newsreel's over." "Place de l'Opera in Paris, ...the big star isn't Josephine Baker or Maurice Chevalier." "It's the new car created by Mr. André Citroën." "Last year's revolutionary 1934 model caused a sensation." "It is still the only car with rack-bar steering, ...hydraulic brakes, torsion-bar suspension, ...hydraulic shock absorbers, independent wheels, ...overhead-valve engine and, of course the legendary "Traction avant," the road-holding front-wheel drive." " How much?" " 20,150 francs." "I mean the speed." "80 MPH." "Main characteristic?" "Front-wheel drive, 2nd and 3rd gears synchronized." "What's the matter with first?" "Is that all?" "This one won the first Paris-Moscow Rally as well as at Monthléry and Le Mans." "Care to sit in it?" "Comfortable, huh?" "It's hard to beat." "I'm not catching anything." "Because of your hat, I'm not catching anything either." "Because you talk too much." "You're supposed to fish in silence." "It's the new Citroën!" "The traction like in the newsreels!" "Yes, like in the newsreels." "Look at how pretty it is!" "See what I catch when I fish?" "Is it indiscreet to ask how we pay for it?" "How soon could I get delivery?" "10-15 months, if you order today." "The price of success." "Could I try it, to make up my mind?" "Absolutely!" "It's the best way." "Try it and you'll buy it!" "Is that so?" "Hey!" "You can't try it without me." "How can we drive cab in a stolen car?" "You always miss the boat." "Doesn't a buggy like this deserve a better fate?" "You just missed another boat." "What's on your mind?" "Naughty thoughts." "Care to explain?" "Some jerk'll think them some day, ...I might as well be the first." "Hey, boys, soup's on!" "No, we're going to break the car in." "It's all ready!" "We want to beat the rush hour." "Let's eat." "Let's go!" "I'm fed up!" "Look, Miss France, shut up or walk home." "You and your big talk make me sick, you hear?" "Same question, same answer." "Let me show you how the brakes work." "Brakes, my ass!" "You're kicking us out." "Exactly!" "Goodbye." "You faggots!" "Phony pimps!" "Who you calling phony?" "You dirty Jew!" "You bunch of damn dirty Jews!" "Say, I'm not Jewish." "Are you?" "Just a little bit." "How did she know?" "Want me to draw you a picture?" "Now isn't this too much car for a taxi?" "You're right." "Watch how it holds the road." "It won't leave the road, no matter what you do!" "It's not 100% foolproof yet." "No." "Look at us!" "Are you hurt?" "In any other car, we'd have been dead." "What a car!" "Isn't it terrific?" "Yes, it's terrific." "Well then?" "Did you kill the Odeon killer?" "Yes, I'm the one who killed him." "Was your picture in the papers?" "Yes, my picture was in the papers." "I'm listening." "We'll trade you some information for some protection." "Why do you need protection?" "We're sort of what you might call peripatetic." "You're what?" "Streetwalkers..." "Arlette and me..." "Well, you tell him!" "Tell me, Arlette." "No, you tell him." "You tell me." "No, you'd better..." "Go on, Arlette." "Well, we were picnicking with these fellows and..." "Look at the motor!" "Take off your hat." "Those two guys worry me." "Listen, my Jewish schnozz would smell any trouble." "Like it did with Marcel Cerdan?" "Look at the motor!" "You like that post office?" "From the outside, yes." "We'll soon know." "Tails we don't, heads we do." "Heads!" "Anyway, I'm so sure of this car..." "Once they're inside, we get into our cars." "No shooting, right?" "They're not even loaded." "You got all the money out?" "Shit!" "Let's go!" "Would you mind?" "Let's get out of here!" "What'll I do?" "Shovel coal and hang on tight!" "Your Jewish schnozz!" "The rabbi snipped it by mistake!" "You should talk!" "A great post office, ...with cops posted all over it!" "Anyway, this car is making hold-up history." "Until we get Tractions, we're in trouble." " Are you okay?" " Okay, chief." "Okay over there?" "Okay, chief!" "So are we." "Do you need a corkscrew?" "Coming, chief." "Where can we find the bitches who squealed?" "At the dance hall where we picked them up." "Make it Saturday night." "A Suze, a Ricard, a Dubonnet, a Martini!" "Thanks, no slow dances for me." "No slow dances." "No slow dances." "I saw a girl in back who likes them slow." "Over in the corner." "Yes, a little brunette." "You like slow dances?" "Not me." "We can try a waltz later, though." "Want to dance, Miss?" "Thanks, no slow dances." "Why not?" "I don't like your mug." "You heard the lady." "Boy, are you heavy!" "You've put on weight." "I'm starving!" "Sure." "Here's your dough." "One more?" "Thanks, I earned it." "True." "Go out that way!" "What's wrong with slow dances?" "What happens afterward?" "How'd you get that scar?" "That's what I'm talking about." "A fox trot that turned into a war dance?" "Very funny." "It's not ugly, it's kind of... virile." "You sure know how to compliment a girl." "I probably stopped that guy from tattooing you." "I haven't forgotten." "We're dancing, aren't we?" "Independent, aren't you?" "I might depend on a man, never on a pimp." " Do I look like a pimp?" " In that suit, yes." " I didn't make the suit." " You're wearing it." "Been dancing long?" "It's instinctive." "Like it?" "Never had one that sang before." "Can't you sing?" "Come on, sing." "You're better than I am!" "That's too high for me." "That's reverse." "Now what are the gears?" "Well, I guess you start in first, ...then shift into 2nd, and so on." "When you're in 3rd, what then?" "There are no more." "But I want to go faster." "If you're in 3rd, what do you do?" "You mean to go faster?" "You said you shift from first to 2nd to 3rd." "What then?" "I stay in 3rd!" "That's an idea." "Do you know what that is?" "The windshield..." "and the wipers work there." "We don't just work summers, you know." "That's the ignition." "I showed you how it works." "Try to start the motor." "Start the car." "You're in neutral." "I shift into first?" "You said to start in first." "After you start the car." "All right, but you can see I'm not..." "You're doing it on purpose." "No I'm not." "I just can't get it." "Turn on the ignition." "Now the starter." "Like that?" "Is it on?" "Yeah." "Now the starter." "See?" "Nothing happens." "I pull it but nothing happens." "Use the accelerator." "You have to work at it." "It's smoking!" "Pretty, isn't it?" "See what you've done?" "I pushed and pulled like you said and it's smoking!" "What we're going to do, ...is practice at home, at a table, with a drawing." "As you were, and I'll show you." "Swing your arm." "Now where's your gun?" "Aren't there ladies' guns?" "When you're ready for one." "Now step back." "Keep your distance." "Swing your arm." "Now what does he look like?" "A jerk!" "Okay, start again." "Hands up." "Go ahead." "What did I tell you?" "What?" "To keep your distance, damn it!" "Again." "That's better!" "It isn't loaded, is it?" "You said no." "I should have loaded it." "Easy does it." "Bitch!" "The bitch is that the bottle's still there." "Don't turn your head when you shoot." "We'll go closer but you've got to relax." "I am relaxed!" "You're a bundle of nerves." "Raise your arm." "Bitch!" "What a blast!" "It didn't blast the bottle." "If you don't hit it from here, we're through." "No dead weight on this team." "Shit!" "Well, you show me how." "Not from this close." "Watch out!" "If you miss, we're through!" "Well, goodbye!" "No hard feelings." "Yeah, well..." "let's go." "I did it!" "Stop bragging." "The noise did it!" "I tell you the noise did it." "It was probably cracked." "Now there is a man!" "Did you see that?" "Am I in the way?" "Who's coming tonight?" "What matters is that the Rothschilds be there." "Turn off the motor." "Hello sir and madam." "Sir, please." "I'm sorry, that's all I can do for you." "It'll do fine." "Have a nice day." "Follow them." "Difficult, sir, it's a Traction." "What is that?" "Mr. Citroën's new car that wins all the races." "To Citroën, then." "A one-year wait, sir." "To André Citroën's, then." "He's dead, sir." "To our insurers, then." "Very well, Madame." "Not too scared, my dear?" "No!" "It was quite entertaining." "Only the big stuff, no rings." "Get to the car!" "You get going, too." "They got here?" "They got here." " About time." " You said it!" " Who tipped them off?" " I did." "I wanted to test the new buggy." "You're crazy!" "Consider this modest Medal of Merit as a small token of our esteem." "The Prefect of Police and I thank you for you crime-fighting exploits." "History teaches those who would learn from it." "Today's social unrest, inflation and unemployment warn the Police of tomorrow's crime wave." "That is why I thank you for this medal." "It will reinforce my enthusiasm for a job I chose and that I love." "Please help yourselves from the buffet." " You've met my family?" " No." "Let me introduce you." "My wife." "My sincere congratulations." "My wife's brother." "My daughter." "And my son." "You speak as well as Dad does." "True!" "He's told us a great deal about you." "He sings your praises daily." "And I feel I know all of you." "We were surely fated to meet." "It's a little boring, isn't it?" "Fortunately, you're here." "What time must you be home?" "No special time, Dad trusts you." "He doesn't know me very well." "It won't be too late if we leave now." "Oh, yes... if you want to." "How can you say I look like Anabella?" "I'm no movie star!" "If any cops saw me now!" "What would they say?" "That I was in love." "How could they tell?" "I'm acting like a kid!" "Speak louder!" "I can't hear you." "Hello!" "Can you hear me now?" "That's better." "Where are you?" "In New York." "In New York?" "What are you doing in New York?" "I'll be here for 2 or 3 years." "That's terrible!" "I won't see you for 2 or 3 years." "Yes, it's awful." " What's New York like?" " New York is terrific." "It's immense." "Some buildings are taller than the Eiffel Tower." "I'm on the 100th floor." "It's fantastic." "Why not come over?" "I'd love to be on a tall building with you." "Come on!" "I'm waiting." "We must have been cut off, I can't hear you at all." "Is it an old family custom to sit so far apart?" "My mother calls it "intimate dining"." "It's different." "Not bad at all." "But it might be even better like this." "That's shocking!" "What if my mother came in now?" "Do I scare you?" "Have you ever seen two people dining so close to each other?" "I've never seen them sitting so far apart!" "You're a very sexy boxer." "Where do I put these?" "We don't have any vases." "Well?" "Wait." "Keep it in the family." " How much?" " Small potatoes." "It was a small bank." "Want to change the oil in the car later?" "I changed it yesterday." "Why didn't you say so?" ""Article 213."" ""The spouses assure the moral..."" ""...and material welfare of the family."" ""They provide an education for the children..."" ""...and prepare their future."" "Kids get born without Article 213, right?" ""Article 215."" ""The spouses pledge mutual fidelity."" "Article 215 is life imprisonment." "One prisoner, one jailer, and vice-versa." "We cross it off, right?" "A big "X" and a little kiss." "That's enough!" "Little kisses are short." "Do you, Bruno Deschamp, take for your lawful wife, ...Dominique Blanchot here?" "I do." "Do you, Dominique Blanchot, take for your lawful husband, ...Bruno Deschamps here?" "I do." "In the name of the law, ...I declare you united in wedlock." "Since the Civil Code makes no sense, ...neither does marriage, right?" "So by the powers I've given myself, I declare you united by the bonds of free love for better or for worse." "Why did they choose Vichy?" "Why did you choose me?" "That seems obvious!" "Thirsty?" "Want something to drink?" "If you could find a beer!" "Hold my place." "A little kiss." "This hotel and this town are sinister." "You'll have to get used to it." "Because, my love, France is now Vichy." "Beautiful France..." "In Vichy, yellow with fear, not jaundice!" "What is a Frenchman today?" "What is a Frenchman?" "A free man or one who's occupied." "What do I become in all this?" "You?" "A first lady of Vichy, hence of France." "Ah, yes, again France!" "But what has France become?" "Germany's whore!" "Where'd that idea come from?" "From looking around me." "Germany's whore, I tell you!" "And so she is parked in Vichy hotels." "There are no hangers." "The bed's hard." "It'll all work out." "What about you?" "What'll you be doing here?" "I'm to participate in the organizing of Vichy's new police force." "There are no crooks in Vichy." "No, but money's coming." "Where money goes, crooks follow." "Come here and stop griping." "How I feel depends a lot on you." "Is that so?" "Why don't we just see what that bed's like?" "Let's try it out." "Yes, I'd like a nap." "I'm very sleepy." "Marshal!" "We are here!" "How dare you!" "The exodus continues in cars, on bicycles, on foot fleeing German-held parts of France taken with little resistance." "The German advance is amazing." "By June 20th, German troops cover half of France with salients in all directions." "Marshal Pétain decides to halt the combat that had never really begun."

"The French Army is disarmed and demobilized, ...France is divided into two zones an occupied zone and a free zone." "The dividing line is Geneva-Chalons-Moulins-Tours." "In small villages on the line of demarcation daily dramas occur." "In order to go to work papers must be shown." "But it could be worse." "These are the fortunes of war." "And conquered France may yet benefit from Germany's reportedly interesting proposals." "Talk about damn fools!" "It's to stop kids coming out of the park." "That's what I mean." "Talk about damn fools..." "that beats all!" "Your papers." "Coming back tonight?" "It's where we live." "Biggest damn fools I ever saw." "Still want to go to Vichy?" "Money goes where money's hiding and right now, that's Vichy." "Got an idea for crossing?" "I got." "Marcel Cerdan was his idea, too." "Some of his ideas aren't so bad." "Some of them are even good." "They just cost a lot." "Give me some money." "What's he up to?" "Look at the river!" "Give me a real kiss." "Give me a real kiss!" "Got a bathing suit with you?" "What did he say?" "Something about bathing suits." "The French!" "The faster you go, the faster you dry." "Step on it!" "No brakes!" "Brakes?" "I said to go faster!" "You're the champ, okay?" "I can't hear you, speed up!" "I've got no brakes!" "Don't brake." "Accelerate!" "Hurry up, you guys!" "Only 30 miles to go." "France pays Germany 400 million francs a day." "How do they get it there?" "Switzerland, I tell you!" "And that's where we should go." "Let's get to Vichy first." "Switzerland is it!" "If Switzerland is so great why are all the crooks in Paris?" "They're working for Lafont." "Why aren't we working for him?" "Forget about him!" "Some day you'll be glad to remember him." "Pierre Loutrel... very good." "Gentlemen." ""Dry-mouth", ...vicious but effective." "Hi, Jo!" "Jo the Corsican." "Gentlemen." ""The Mammoth."" "How many is that?" "About fifteen." "Let me talk to them." "What's up?" "I'll explain." "Are we in for it?" "What're you doing here?" "Just a second." "Hi, Pierrot." "As crazy as ever?" "Riding the gravy train now?" "You can ride it, too." "The deal I'm offering you is what the Germans offered me." "First, liberty." "Second, money." "Money and liberty, ...two things the Resistance can't offer you." "A third benefit I hope you'll appreciate, ...starting now, if you accept, you're clean." "No more record." "Total impunity." "One last thing." "I'm your boss." "And my boss is the Gestapo Chief." "The Germans have the power." "Absolute power!" "The more effective you are the more you will be free, rich and unpunished." "That's all." "It sounds good but how does it work?" "Mr. Bonny will explain." "Denounce 100 Jews and you get to pull a hold-up with our protection." "100 Communists... same thing." "Go to it!" "The 100 Years War is over." "And the Germans can't lose this one." "Cures, baths and Marshal Pétain..." "I'm fed up!" "Want to see a Jean Gabin movie?" "Screw Gabin!" "What I want is to pull a big job." "I tell you the big jobs are in Paris with Bonny and Lafont." "Lay off me about Lafont!" "Finding a way to sneak Jews into the Free Zone would pay off big." "These days, just forget the word "Jew"." "Don't you think so?" "Those women really can't play!" "It isn't possible to be that bad!" "What do you know about music?" "When I was so big, my mother had me learning piano." "I've never seen you play." "I'm too modest." "If you could play, we'd know it." "Want to play the piano?" "Go ask the lady." "I made a vow not to play till the war's over." "That day, I'll play the Marseillaise." "Are you getting drunk on Vichy water?" "They're awful!" "Are they doing it on purpose?" "With most of France on ration tickets today you sit here and sulk." "I'm unhappy and your answer is ration tickets." "Ration tickets for happiness?" "It's hard to be a cop any time, but now in Vichy...!" "Then be a Gaullist in London!" "They can't help France!" ""Good guys" who can't do any good!" "History is happening elsewhere and without you." "Within 90 days we won't be in Vichy." "We'll be in Vittel?" "I got my transfer to Paris." "And you didn't tell me!" "I've contacted Pierre Bonny." "Who's he?" "A former police inspector, ...now head of the French Gestapo." "I thought you said it was some gangster." "That's right." "His name's Lafont, he and Bonny work together." "Now can we change the subject?" "You hear those sour notes?" "If you've lived in Paris it's hard to die in Vichy." "You're right." "We've got to find a way out of here." "I got..." "I got." ""Gabriel Fermier?"" "Better than Simon Choulel?" "I'm Jacques Fermier?" "You stick together like brothers." "How about you?" "Our sister?" "His wife." "How'd you get these?" "Some slow dances with one of Premier Laval's collaborator's." "The check, please." "Charge it to Room 240." "Laval's room." "Nothing happened!" "Saved by the "belle!"" "You do good work." "Doesn't she?" "I think she deserves a little kiss." "Done!" "Another one?" "Another one!" "The line of demarcation." "Passes and baggage will be inspected." "Your papers, please." "The same family." "In that case, ...I must ask you to leave the compartment a moment." "A routine check." "Not you, Father." "Excuse me, Father, ...but so many Jews dress as priests now." "Please lift your cassock." "Lift your cassock!" "Faster, please." "You won't see anything because when I was little..." "I did peepee sideways so they operated." "I know." "Since 1939, many Jews do peepee sideways." "Mr. Fermier, I suppose you also do peepee sideways." "We don't know what you're getting at, ...but we do know Mr. Lafont." "Mr. Henri Lafont of the Rue Lauriston, Paris." "Who is this Lafont?" "He's the the new director of the French Gestapo." "I tried to tell you." "He's a friend of my husband's and of his brother." "The gentlemen are to think they seduced you." "So no one ask for money!" "No one... not even the guys." "Mr. Lafont will pay the bill." "Wait here, I'll be right back." "Mr. Lafont, want to see the girls?" "With pleasure." "All right girls, line up." "We'll take it up later." "Bonny, come see the girls." "Not very sexy." "Don't worry, wait till tonight." " They need more..." " They will have!" " They aren't shy?" " Just the opposite." "The gentlemen are very shy." "Don't worry." "Ladies, I'm counting on you." "I'd rather not see you than see you like that." "You... out of the question!" "Jacques is here." "Just in time." "Can you do anything about those uniforms?" "The King of the Tractions!" "The King of the black market!" "No one knows how to fake papers any more?" "I guess not." "Thanks for springing us." "Nothing at all." "That outfit... not bad!" "Better than a cassock." "Right, Simon?" "Let me introduce you to my wife, Lola." "Good taste." "Delighted!" "Thanks for helping us." "A pleasure." "I'm giving a little party tonight." "I'd like you to join us, if you can." "Sure." "Right, Lola?" "Is it formal?" "Don't even know your sizes!" "How about this war?" "I don't know what to make of it." "Are you kidding?" "No, it's true." "War is a time of peace for crooks!" "Here, phony Havana but real Belgian." "If you're interested, we can do business." "Very good business." "But first you have to know what they want from us." "What do they want?" "Simple!" "First, turn all soldiers into civilians." "Second, turn all civilians into collaborators." "Third, turn all collabos into Nazis." "Simple, but you'd better explain." "Mr. Lafont, want to hear the music?" "I'll think it over." "I'm not used to selling Jews, ...I've never done it." "We're pulling a job tomorrow, come and see." "You don't mind arresting Frenchmen?" "In peacetime, Frenchmen arrest us." "We have to be going." "Thanks again for what you did for us." "See you tomorrow." " Till tomorrow perhaps?" " Perhaps." "No more cassocks, Simon." "The difference between Hitler and his predecessors was his organization of gangsters throughout Europe more like a Mafia boss than a Head of State respecting certain rules." "This Jewish family is arrested its property confiscated demonstrating how theft, robbery and the extermination of 6 million innocent creditors enabled Hitler, unaided, to finance the most costly war in history." "Berlin." "Rue Lauriston." "Gestapo... they like marble." "You mentioned some paintings?" "After you, please." "You're seeing a very big haul." "Understand how it works?" "Servants and concierges have grudges to settle." "Very pretty!" "Who got us this job?" "Corsican Jo and Mammoth." "They're going to make a fortune." "How does it open?" "As a boxer, you'd have been disqualified." "I think I'd have been World Champ." "50% for your gang on jobs you bring us." "And 50% for me and my... associates." "All concierges do it for ration tickets?" "Not just concierges, these days." "Don't just stick to concierges." "Want something to eat?" "I have two badly wounded men in my ambulance!" "Help me get them on the Paris train." "Don't you have any help?" "You know how it is these days." "What's this?" "The Resistance!" "Call those two clowns out there." "The other one!" "You get back to the truck!" "But I won't see anything!" "I never get to see anything." "First, the ignition." "Just keep going." "Pour it on!" "Only 30 minutes till the next train!" "Smells good." "The truck!" "Looks like war." "Since '39..." "How about lending a hand?" "What a haul!" "Number 12." ""Gestapo."" "Black silk with sequins." "Number 13." ""Confidence."" "Embroidered satin with precious stones." "Number 14." ""Alhambra" a dress with white fringes." "Last night, resistants attacked a train in the North." "This is the 753rd violation of the 1940 armistice." "Approximately 30 terrorists savagely killed 5 German soldiers." "They stole a boxcar containing war damages owed to Germany by France." "English terrorists were involved." "The stationmaster recognized British material." "Occupation authorities have again warned Vichy." "In reprisal, 50 hostages will be taken at random in nearby Laon." "The hostages will be shot in 4 days if the resistants don't return the stolen property." "I'm no resistant." "I deserted in '39!" "Are you a resistant?" "Are you?" "No, we're not resistants." "You told the stationmaster." "The blabbermouth!" "And there were five of us, not thirty." "Five!" "They really are liars." "Do I look like a resistant?" "I'm a small-time crook, a gangster with no ideals, nothing." "A small-time crook with no ideals but with 50 guys on your conscience." "The stuff goes back!" "Out of the question!" "Screw their war!" "I want no part of it." "It's got nothing to do with me." "It's out of the question." "Ladies and gentlemen." "A regrettable incident obliges us to take certain precautions." "I must ask the men in this church to follow us for a routine check." "I ask you to facilitate my task." "Follow me, please." "It's not Romans or Lativolé." "It's not the Appolinaire group." "It's not the Sixth Destroyer group, either." "Then gangsters did it." "They're worse than the Gestapo!" "In war or peace, private speculators screw everything up!" "And the Resistance gets the blame." "Maybe it's Bonny and Lafont." "They're with the Gestapo, why should they risk it?" "Locate the hostages, maybe we can help." "Anything new?" "Not one tip, not one lead." "Isn't there one gangster among us who can tip us off?" "Crooks are either with the Gestapo or with us." "After the war, I'll get those bastards!" "The truck is there, now to see what's in it." "Where is he?" "Upstairs." "Are they all here?" "I hope so." " Can we free the hostages?" " Yes." "Announce that I am offering a very large reward for information about these resistants." "500 thousand?" "A million." "And let Mr. Lafont know that has happened." "He'd begun to suspect it was one of theirs." "Françoise..." "The hostages are to be released immediately." "And have Lafont call me at Gestapo Headquarters." "Yes, it's all settled." "Two million!" "Two million." "Another bottle of your rot-gut wine." "Not suffering too much from the restrictions?" "Look, good Samaritan, what about us?" "What does that mean?" "We didn't know about returning the stuff." "Right." "You'll get your share after the war." "Screw that!" "Screw you." "Go to work for Lafont." "Come on." "Take it easy, I'll play you a record." "I bought it on the black market for 10 pounds of butter." "It's worth it, you'll see." "Does your 1900 model work?" "Know why the Americans will win the war?" "You don't know?" "Because the krauts will never have music like that!" "Listen..." "Great, isn't it?" "Care to dance, sir?" "No slow dances for me." "Can you imagine Hitler's Gang making music like that?" " How'd it go?" " Very well." "Been enjoying yourselves while I risk my life?" "What's wrong with you?" "He'll explain." "What's with them?" "I'll explain." "German Military Police!" "Open up!" "Lola, the record!" "We're in deep shit." "It is forbidden to listen to Radio London." "It's just a record." "Listening to American records is also forbidden." "I'm sorry." "Your establishment will be closed." "It's already been closed." "The bum does all right!" "He really can play." "You did the right thing, returning the paintings." "Come to the Kommandatur tonight to get your record." "Get married because you're pregnant!" "Are you nuts?" "Haven't you heard?" "There's a price on my head!" "And you want to post the banns!" "Out in the country, in secret." "What's the point?" "Stop that." "Why are you painting your stems?" "Buy me some stockings." "You've got real problems!" "Stockings..." "Mr. Mayor..." "You should have found yourself a bank clerk!" "Bastard!" "Want to know something, little man?" "You're scared because I'm going to have a kid!" "Dumb broad!" "Gigolo!" "The gigolo says you're a pain in the ass!" "Little jerk!" "What are you knocking for?" "Come in." "Come in!" "Where's your guy?" "I haven't got a guy." "You wear ties now?" "I give one to each customer." "You give them suits, too?" "You give them these, too?" "I don't know anybody." "You know how we make people talk?" "I know." "You're coming with us." "Can I take my purse?" "Come and see, quick!" "What's up?" "I don't know." "Forget it!" "You'll be more useful here." "That's it." "Bye-bye two pals." "Tell me where your guy is and we'll stop." "My guy means more than my life." "Where this elevator stops is really hell." "You know you speak perfect French?" "If you won't tell me, I'll have to send you to Lafont." "He's still mad about the train." "When your head is under water, ...if you're ready to talk, just open your hands." "Mr. Deschamp, a telephone call for you." "Bring her up, stop everything." "You took my wife, I've kidnapped yours." "If you give mine back, I'll give yours back." "If you mess up mine, I'll mess up yours." "And if you kill my wife, I'll kill yours." "I'll call tonight with the details." "How is she?" "Bad." "She's in bad shape." "Get her up to my office!" "Quick!" "Hurry!" "There's trouble." "I'm not sure." "My wife may be a hostage." "I'm sure it's a bluff." "Hurry!" "Call my home and see if she's there." "If she's not, call her parents." "How is she?" "Not good." "Pulse is weak." "You've got to fix her up." "I don't love my husband any more." "That's not a sin." "For me it is." "Why don't you love him any more?" "I hate him." "He disgusts me." "He arrests Communists, Jews, resistants..." "We'd better discuss this with your usual confessor, who's sick today." "He'd be delighted if you'd say hello." "He's sick." "Tuberculosis." "He was fine last week." "Tuberculosis works very, very fast." "Know how we found out you confessed regularly?" "Your concierge." "It cost us 10 lbs of butter and 2 quarts of oil." "I apologize." "It's all right." "I just talked to your husband on the phone." "Don't worry, he's fine." "Stop that, you're bothering the lady." "It doesn't bother me at all." "Oh?" "All right, go on." "Well it bothers me, so stop!" "It'll end badly." "What time is it?" "4 o'clock." "Fix her up by tonight!" "Not much chance." "Mr. Deschamp, your wife's parents, ...they're downstairs." "Have them come up." "Send them up." "Still as stand-offish?" "I tried to break the ice a while ago." "I didn't do too well." "If they rape my wife, ...we'll both rape you." "Don't you want to eat?" "Go on." "There's plenty." "Is it good?" "But if they kill my wife," "...I'll have to kill you." "Some more wine?" "Not mad, are you?" "Of course not!" "We're all French." "You're not mad?" "A little kiss." "Are you mad?" "We both failed." "Is it good?" "A little kiss." "He's crazy!" "How about me?" "A little kiss." "You know, ...I don't think he could kill your wife." "Who?" "My husband." "Who does he work with?" "He doesn't work alone." "Could you kill me?" "He could." "Sure." "Even if she dies, we use her for the exchange." "Make them believe she's alive, no matter what." "A cop whose wife is kidnapped!" "Some other time!" "Why not talk to Lafont?" "He has the power..." "Lafont only looks out for his own interests." "Your daughter's return runs counter to them." "I don't agree with you." "Lafont always adored Dominique." "He courted her long enough." "You tell me that now." "Is she still alive?" "Here's what we'll do." "She's alive!" "If she's dead, I won't hesitate." "Is she alive?" "Is she alive?" "Is she alive or not?" "She's alive." "She's breathing." "Don't move till we go." "It's all right now." "We'll see you at home." "Yes, at home." "They didn't torture you?" "They were perfect gentlemen." "What do you mean by that?" "I mean they didn't return me in a coma." "What's he look like?" "He's short and bald." "What's his name?" "He changes name and address daily." "Still want to marry a gigolo?" "Ever see a gigolo marry an invalid?" "You're going to see it." "You know, ...I think I lost the baby." "I'll get every one of those bastards!" "Hitler's Gang is going to hear from me." "What's he look like?" "An average Frenchman." "Hi." "How'd you find me?" "You should have blindfolded me." "Now what?" "I want to cheat on my husband." "You want to...?" "You middle-class dames!" "Is this to get revenge on your husband or because you like me?" "I don't know yet." "When do we start?" "Tonight, if you're free." "Your husband lets you out at night?" "He's trapping a Resistance leader, it'll take all night." "What's this big shot look like?" "Interested?" "The train's packed, he'll be hard to spot." "Stay awake!" "For all passengers arriving from Lyons there will be a check of ID cards, ...passes and Ausweis by German police at the exit." "Have your papers ready, please." "Get on." "Hide in a toilet." "Tight squeeze." "Toilets usually are." "Either he was tipped off, or we missed him." "Let's go." "Where are we going?" "The switching yard." "A pal's waiting for us." "To switch what?" "Nothing." "Whose pal?" "Yours, or mine?" "A pal." "We go over the wall when the train passes." "Who are you?" "I've got a score to settle with Hitler's Gang, ...I'm looking for partners." "Watch out!" "Tarzan!" "What can you contribute?" "Enthusiasm and first-hand information." "Who says I'm in the Resistance?" "You got back on the train." "True." "Who told you what I looked like and when I was due?" "It's a bedtime story." "I'll tell you in the car." "I've got something for you, Mr. Berger" "I'll take it right now." "THE CONCIERGE IS UPSTAIRS" "Don't take too many risks." "The latest!" "Better and better." "He isn't too tired?" "He may not last 15 rounds." "She's got a punch!" "THE CONCIERGE IS DOWNSTAIRS" "Aren't you ever tired?" "There are the 50 planes, ...Messerschmidts, I don't know." "The fuel storage tanks are there." "Anyway, so she says." "I can't draw worth a damn, but..." "After the war, you'll get a medal." "They can shove it..." "Then why do this?" "I told you:" "I've got a score to settle." "Want a drink?" "A short beer, yeah." "There's only water." "We'll have a drink after the war." "What were you before?" "Grease-monkey." "Married?" "What were you, a cop?" "For four weeks, all secrets passed on to you have turned into sabotage." "Awkward coincidence." "Know what Lafont said to me?" "Watch out for this Bruno." "If the tide turns, he'll defend France." "I've always defended France, ...and I've never betrayed you." "You must admit that, these days it's difficult to reconcile the two." "Very difficult." "I'll order an investigation in my section." "And I'll conduct one outside your section." "This is the right place." "I don't think I need to introduce you." "Madame, there are two solutions." "Either I phone your husband or else..." "Who was the information for?" "You won't tell me?" "In 3 minutes, that man will be dead unless you tell me who he works for." "It's my husband." "Your husband... what?" "My husband was informing the Resistance." "He's been working for them since 1942." "You sent for me?" "Sit down." "I have something important to say." "I'm listening." "Bruno, this isn't easy for me to say..." "The last ones!" "Feeling better?" "Well?" "Well..." "I don't know." "He's not at any of the usual places." "It's the Resistance, we never see him." "Because of you, he wants to rub out Hitler's Gang." "Sure, blame it on Hitler's Gang." "The good old days..." "He's cheating on me." "I know he's cheating on me!" "What are you talking about?" "Lately, his shirts smell funny." "Mine, too!" "It's the lousy laundry soaps..." "No... smell!" "I don't smell anything." "Wait!" "There..." "Do you smell it?" "I don't smell anything." "You don't...?" "Tell me." "What do you want me to tell you?" "Everything." "But I don't know anything." "Yes you do!" "Tell me everything." "All right, listen." "To begin with, ...remember that everything he's done is for France." " What?" " Yes." "I never betrayed." "I never was a resistant." "Since 1942, according to your wife." "But you know me." "Very well!" "For two years I've seen you be a patriot and a collaborator, ...so why not a double agent?" "She's protecting her lover by accusing me." "That's what I must find out." "This will help us save time." "I'll bring your wife in." "If she's the traitor, kill her." "Don't traitors deserve to die?" "Afterward we'll say it was a murder of passion." "On the other hand, if you are the traitor, ...I trust you will be elegant enough to commit suicide." "Afterward we'll say it was a suicide of passion." "Please repeat, before your husband, what you told me." "My husband has been in the Resistance since 1942." "He's been passing information since then." "Dominique, it's not true!" "It is true." "I'll go crazy." "Now I know." "Only a resistant could make such a sacrifice!" "Who were you passing the information to?" "I'm not in the Resistance." " Well?" " Hello." "Well?" "Everything's okay." "It's not true, I saw your face outside." "My face is thirsty, that's what you saw." "You swear it?" "I swear it, everything's okay." "On my head?" "On your head." "Anyway, Jews don't swear." "Yes they do!" "More than anybody." "Look at what I brought you." "An American record from London parachuted just for Lola." "You swear everything's okay?" "I re-swear it." "No, the other hand." "I swear that everything's okay and that he's okay." "Who's the record by?" "I don't know, but it's American." "America must be a great place." "The Americans have landed in Normandy!" "Yours is better than mine." "My compliments, sir." "I congratulate you, Madame." "Very simply, in the name of the Provisional Government, ...the National Resistance Council and the Parisian Liberation Committee you are appointed second deputy to the Prefect of Police of Paris." "This appointment gives me great pleasure." "I will use it to fight the usual post-war danger an increase in gangsterism." "A Suze, a Ricard, a Dubonnet, a Martini..." "Still love me as much as ever?" "Did you love her?" "A little." "Just a little." "And what became of him?" "She said he was a dirty collabo, others say no." "And her?" "I heard she was deported." "I know, yours is better than mine." "You didn't say what became of him." "I don't know!" "He's been chasing me for 10 years, ...but I don't know what he looks like." "I do!" "I'd recognize him even at a masked ball!" "Now that you've got a real medal, ...how about finding a real job?" "I've been trying, you know." "Medals don't impress anyone very much." "Little kiss?" "Another?" "Oh, yes!" "Gladly." "Can I try it out?" "Watch out..." ""If you try it, you'll buy it!"" "Is that so?" "A hold-up at Cartier's?" "The Traction Gang?" "I'm on my way." "The story of the Traction Gang really begins here." "Maybe some day we'll tell it." "Subtitles by Harold BRAV." "Subtitling by TVS" " TITRA Paris"
