"Your friends, madam..." "used to be very open here." "You have time until tomorrow." "You won't be married to Hartog then, but you will give me the tapes." "Isn't that right?" "In your very own interest." "Yes?" "Oh, you!" "You got 20 plus 10." "You'd better get the 30000 quickly, or you'll be behind bars." "Pffft!" "I couldn't care less!" "Otherwise?"

"You're not curious at all." "Yes, I am." "I am, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you." "Well, but that doesn't help you." "How do you know?" "You don't benefit from it." "To the contrary..." "Yes?" "Yes, he called me already." "Tonight?" "What do I care about your cartel?" "You are also at the Rialto bar." "You're all there." "What did you say?" "Me?" "You said I don't benefit from from sitting here with you, but that's false." "You actually look quite nice." "You wanted to ask something." "I was thought about it, but it's no use." "To tell you something now..." "Yes?" "Well, look who it isn't!" "How everybody's suddenly concerned about me." "And why?" "Because you're scared." "But I'm not scared!" "Not true." "I'm scared too."
