"I didn't know what I was looking for when I came here but I certainly know what I'm leaving with." "I should be thanking you." "(SHE SIGHS)" "(CAR ENGINE IDLES)" "I need to tell you something." "But not here." "Has Monsieur Sabine sent you?" "No." "Come on." "Get in." "(DOOR SLAMS SHUT)" "(KEYS RATTLE)" "(CAT MEOWS)" "(THUNDER RUMBLES) subtitle by peritta"
