"He's a lovely fellow" "It's an amazing story, you know?" "The Greeks in the early times used to wear a quilt" "What is this particular conference all about?" "It's not secret as far as I'm concerned but since you're handling the publicity you might give me a line on what's all about in this peace treaty and understanding" "What is that you'll like to know?" "In the first place, is this Mr. Fisher entirely on the level?" "Very much so" "He seems like a very nice guy" "He's, I assure you" "What is it that makes him or you think that an organization like this made out of well meaning amateurs back up against those tough military boys of Europe?" "If the well meaning amateur will go to fight when the war comes..." "Lunch is served!" "Oh please don't go yet You don't want any of those..." "But I'm sorry I must go" "Then sit at the press table with me" "Nobody ever listens to the speeches at the press table" "So we can talk, after all you don't even know my name yet" "Is it necessary?"

"I just trust you won't think this is a family affair when I refer to my daughter" "Miss." "carol Fischer" "Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen." "Please silence for Miss carol Fisher" "Ladies and Gentlemen I trust you'll forgive a father's exuberance" "You don't think of any way that I've been put forward as a substitute for" "Mr. Van Meer." "No one can take his place" "But I can do possible to clear a few misapprehensions that seem to have prepped into the public of this movement and revive some of the epithets that have been applied to us by some who don't go as deeply" "into the matter as they might, for example..." " A woman speech is better than man speech" "I've been referred today as a group of well meaning amateurs" "Now, I'm sure that some of you here today think of us as such" "But I would like to ask to anyone who has called us well meaning amateurs to stand up by his chair and tell me just why we're any less reliable than a professional at a moment like this" "but I won't take the time." "I think the world is been ruled by the well meaning professionals." "We might give the amateurs the chance now" "But what I really want to is to give you a very brief idea of just how far reaching our amateur plans are" "Use your notes" "Thank you" "That's why we ask for your support professional or amateur" "What I'm here to say is that..." "we should both... both of us" "Tell him to wait for me!" "Hello Mr. Fisher, how are you?" "Mr. Haverstock, when did you get here?" "Just now, I got a cable from Mr. Powel The Conference is my assignment" "Ironic, a peace Conference under the shadow of war" "Do you mean war is really coming?"

"He's lovely but I still can't understand him" "Dr. Wiliamson, Mr. Haverstock from The New York's Globe" "He's a little unfamiliar with Amsterdam" "Will you be so good as taking him under your way?"

"We shared a cab together on our way to the luncheon" "Excuse me" "May I have your picture Mr. Van Meer?" "." "Thank you." "There he goes!" "Let me go!" "Follow that car quickly" "Oh, you better get out of here this may be dangerous" "Don't say that" "What happened?" "Who was shot?" "Mr. Van Meer, has been assassinated" "Dead?" "That's what it looks like" "Not good" "It couldn't be worse from his point of view" "Would you mind moving your knees out of the way?" "You better hop in the back" "All right" "Safety windshield, I'd like to know the brand" "Is he a good chofer?" "Yes he is" "Did you know each other?" "Oh, I forgot Scott ffolliott, from the London Post." "Mr. Haverstock, Mr. ffolliott." "With double "f"." "How do you do?" "How do you do?" "I don't get the double "f"?" "At the beginning and both small "fs"" "It can't be at the beginning!" "One of my ancestors had his head chopped off and his wife dropped the capital letter to commemorate the occasion" "How do you say it?" "I say fo and that's it." "It's not raining, the sun coming out" "It's the most amazing disappearing trick I've ever seen" "You don't suppose they got that high do you?" "Vanished!" "Well, take a look at it yourself" "Look, tell him your name, tell him about the two small "fs"" "That would be too much for him" "This isn't catching any assassins" "We should've kept one of those policeman to play bridge" "I guess you're right" "I bet two to one on the hat" "Look at those sails on the wind mill" "You'll get used to them when you've been in Holland longer" "I could've sworn they were against the wind just now" "Why don't you lay down and cool off?" "I'll cool off but first I want you to do me a favour" "I want you to get me the police back" "The police Again!" "We don't want the police, I decided not to prosecute" "No, no, Scott." "You get the police because our man is in There" "In that mill" "But, why do you think so?" "Look, a lot of things can happen while I explain" "Could you take my word for it?" "I would go myself if I spoke the language" "And what are you going to do?" "I'm going to do a little bit of snooping" "This is serious, come on" "All right you'll have your police" "It's a signal for that plane to land" "Come in, come in" "and close the door" "Mr. Van Meer, it's impossible" "They gave me drugs, you know?" "I don't know exactly what" "But I saw you just now outside the conference" "They gave it to me and then they moved me from..." "I can't speak it now" "The man I saw shot was a dead image" "The man you saw shot wasn't me it was a substitute" "But why?" "They want to make them think that I have been assassinated and that I'm in their hands" "Where they?" "I can't explain it" "I can hardly think" "All that I can tell you is that they are going to take me away by plane" "like a bird" "There're always places in the city where birds come to get crumbs" "A pen, quick" "Old mill, up the road, look" "Man, old mill, understand?" "Does anyone here speak English?" "We speak English in school" "I know why you've been holding it on me" "Look, tell this two policemen to come with me" "Very important big old prisoner" "Old mill, tell them to follow me" "yes!" "That's what I've been trying to tell you" "They're gone" "They killed him" "But he isn't..." "who are you?" "Where are the others?" "Ask him where the others have gone" "He said he doesn't know what you're talking about" "He's been asleep here the whole day" "He's lying." "I've talked to Van Meer in this very same room" "Well, there's something I can show you." "The assassin's car" "Rather unique" "I don't care what you say that car was There" "There's something fishy around here" "There's something going on here" "I'll find out, whatever it takes" "Nothing will stop me, understand?" "I'll prove it wasn't Van Meer the man that was assassinate" "All right, come in" "Who is it?" "What are you a house detective?" "In fact we asked at the desk" "Policemen eh?" "don't tell me you're here to apologize about the windmill" "We simply want you to come with us and tell everything to the chief" "Does this police chief speak English?" "because I'm a very busy man" "It will take no more than half an hour, we all speak English" "That's marvellous, that's more, I would say than my country" "I have to make a pone call to a young lady" "I'll call later Doesn't answer" "Look I'm a very good shaver would you excuse me just a minute while I jump in and out of the tub and get myself a quick shave" "Just look at some magazines There I'll be right back" "You couldn't Bring the police chief here, could you?" "Not, I'm afraid not" "No, I thought not" "It's not necessary of you to come" "You'll find it on my desk" "Well, we meet again" "So it seems" "Quite a lot has happened since I last saw you" "So I see" "I had quite a chase after that guy right outside Amsterdam" "It's quite a country, with the windmills and the tulips" "Did you find everything you..." " We were just talking about the tulips, don't seem to be any" "I think I should be going now Thank you" "Do you must be going now?" "Yes, I must be going now, really" "Good bye" "Well, you've made quite a day, haven't you?" "You made a fool out of me in front of the local police broke into my bedroom and disgrace me in front of a very important friend of my fathers" "What do you plan for me now?" "I'll tell you if you will" "You could at least have your clothes on" "This is some serious business I got to talk to you" "I've seen your business before what were you doing in my bedroom?" "I'm escaping" "Escaping, escaping from what?" "From a couple of fellows in my room that are about to kill me" "Who were they?" "Two gentlemen disguised as policemen waiting to take me for a ride" "Don't you think you've been talking through your head long enough" "I'm not talking through my head the organization isn't clean" "I know Van Meer is alive, that's the reason why they want to kill me" "I can think about that!" "You have to help me, not for me but this is the biggest story in Europe" "Your talisman is so out of place in Europe as you are in this bedroom" "Get over There!" "You see what you're doing don't you?" "This is going straight back to to London and will be coming back in gossip by tomorrow I don't care for myself but my father is engaged in a great work He's trying to abort a terrible war and this is the kind of thing to discredit him" "I know you care nothing about our work." "All that interested you is having fun with windmills and hotel bathrooms" "I tell you if you don't believe me I'm in trouble" "You'll be in plenty of trouble if you don't get out of here" "Now for the last time please go" "Ok but I want you to know exactly what's going to happen when I go" "I go back to my room and get dressed I'll try to shake those fellows off but I won't succeed" "They'll stick to me like a couple of tattoo marks until they get me" "They'll stop with nothing I seem to know too much" "I don't know the ins and outs here" "I don't know what's wrong with Europe but I do know a story when" "I see one and I'll keep after it." "Either I get it or it gets me" "Sorry you have those derogatory opinions of me but I guess I can't be helped Well, so long" "It's been nice knowing you I said good bye" "Don't go" "I guess I could handle those fellows all right with a little luck" "We shouldn't take any chances we should get some help" "That's what I had on mind at first" "I'll get Dr. Williams and Mr. Scott" "They might not understand" "They had understood" "We could catch the boat and go back to England tonight if you could only get out" "What's the name of that friend of yours?" "ffolliott." "Give me Mr. ffolliott's rom please left the hotel?" "That's estrange we were going to dinner tonight" "Do you realize how much I'm into it now?" "You would be much more in with your clothes on" "I know you like intellectual ones" "I like..." "I've got an idea" "Give me the manager, please" "Bush for the valet" "Hello, is this the manger?" "This is Mr. Haverstock, on 537." "What kind of hotel is this?" "My bathtub leaks, my phone is out of order, I've been robbed" "Would you send somebody up right away?" "Thank you" "Operator, send a waiter up to 537 and ask the chamber maid to" "Bring up some clean sheets, I set mine on fire and I'd like my windows cleaned and ask the boot cleaner to come up too, will you?" "Let's leave that room nicely for those two guys" "It's the valet Do you speak English?" "Yes sir" "Look, go to my room 537 and get me shirt, tie, a suit and a hat" "You see my husband is waiting in that room for that gentleman" "No sign of them yet Come on, let's hide in the cabin" "Sold out sir, sorry" "Not even a small cabin?" "Not a thing, you see how it is, everybody's in a hurry to get home" "I see well, I've a rather rare ticket, you must be interested in a memento that's if you collect rare tickets at all" "No sir, I would if I could but it isn't a place left" "In a British boat you may find corruption..." "As a matter of fact I just had a cabin returned" "Could I have your name, sir?" "One cabin isn't going to do us much good as if we got..." "Well, I fully intended to sep in the launch, I hope you didn't think..." "No, of course not." "It's very kind of you" "I'll take it" "I'm sorry sir, I'm afraid it's too late now." "You seemed to have some doubt about taking it, so I had to let that gentleman have it" "Oh!" "That's too bad" "Such a rare ticket, see the watermarks upside down" "I think you would've loved this." "Well, perhaps next time" "Were you really going to give it to him?" "But of course, I charge all my travelling expenses to the office" "You're just a little bit unscrupulous" "Aren't you unscrupulous?" "Just enough It's just that I'm in love" "It's the same thing I suppose" "I beg your pardon?" "I beg yours" "You see I love you and I want to marry you" "I love you and I want to marry you" "Quite a love scene, isn't it?" "You mind?" "Not at all, you've made a new man out of me" "I hope not entirely new, it took me some time to get used to the manual" "To be perfectly frank with you I expected a little more argument and" "I'm really left with quite a few things that I very much want to say" "Don't say them until after we're married" "I saved some things to say them too" "You were really quite sure of yourself, weren't you?" "It's funny, the guy never thinks he's a chance." "I have the right to dream" "Evidently" "You think your father will understand?" "I think that father will be delighted, frankly" "Thank you sir" "Good morning Mss." "carol." "Good morning, this is Mr. Haverstovk." "Is father up yet?" "Yes Miss, he's having breakfast" "Come on" "Hello father" "What are you doing in London?" "Mr. Haverstock brought me back in a boat" "How ironic, are you sick?" "You look perfectly healthy" "No, I'm fine" "I hope you don't mind my bugging in like this" "I'm glad to see you You cover the world, don't you?" "You didn't even send me a word I bet your trip was perfectly uncomfortable" "It wasn't so bad, the boat was terribly crowded, we didn't get any cabins but we managed to sep in the deck" "Mr. Krouk, nice to see you Again!" "You haven't met Mr. Haverstock" "Mr. Krouk is a member of the Bavarian Embassy" "Sit down Let's have breakfast" "I should tide up but I'm simply starved" "So you were in Amsterdam yesterday" "Poor Van Meer it's been a great lost" "Out of all the people, why Van Meer?" "You can't pass judgment in a world like ours" "Did you by any chance met him?" "Not formally but I saw him die" "Horrible" "As a matter of fact I chase the men who shot him and I almost caught them" "Mr. Haverstock is a newspaper man" "It would be cool to get your first assignment around an assassin" "I think I should go getting along" "Should we send along for the peace petition now or leave it for later?" "We can do it right now" "If you'll excuse us" "Father" "Could I speak to you for a moment It's terribly important" "Ask Mr. Haverstock if he likes eggs and bacon" "Mr. Fischer What's that man doing here?" "But he's Mr. Krouk!" "Van Meer is not dead" "But I just read..." "That was his double who was shot Van Meer himself was kidnapped" "I talked to him in a windmill outside of Amsterdam" "But what Mr. Krouk has to do with it?" "Remember my description of the man in the mill?" "You mean the sweater, of course" "But that's impossible we know Mr. Krouk." "I tell you Mr. Krouk brought here Van Meer by plane last night" "Are you positive about this?" "But of course I am." "I was as close to Van Meer as I am to you now" "We can't make a mistake, on the other hand we can allow him to..." "Leave it to me" "I don't want to do it but I was asked you to leave my house" "Mr. Haverstock is going to ask me to turn you into the police" "Mr. Haverstock seems to be something of a trouble maker" "I thought that was something to take care about by our agents in Amsterdam" "I thought so too" "I don't understand unless perhaps Mss." "Fisher being with him may had cause complications" "It would have been ideal if she had been in our confidence" "Don't talk about my daughter" "I beg your pardon" "It's just bad luck he came here I never had to cope with these things" "Thanks to you" "Someone has to take care of the dirty details" "But this is my home" "After all I'm a politician and it's not my job to get rid of my guest" "Quiet!" "Not in your house, but I have an idea" "Do you remember Rouli?" "The little man who used to work at your father's stables in Austria" "I seem to recall he was present when a mutual friend of us accidentally fell off the bridge" "He's retired now" "He lives somewhere in Clapen, here in London" "We could convince Mr. Haverstock to hire him in the capacity of a private detective" "For who?" "Well, you should warm him that it's very dangerous for him to go about London with the knowledge he has" "Yes, I see, yes" "You know, you can really use the English language, Mr Krouk" "Thank you sir" "It will be too dangerous" "What do we do now?" "Call Scotland Yard?" "I thought the best was to send Mr. Krouk o his way" "You let him get away?" "Wait a minute, if that's what you saw, it's important not to be suspicious in front of Mr. Krouk Van Meer would be killed immediately" "Dead or alive it's the new" "My father is right" "Well, I'll cable them what I got" "I weren't if I were you" "Van Meer's life depends on us by keeping it quiet for a few hours" "Keep it quiet?" "A famous diplomat is kidnapped right under my own eyes and I muscle in" "But this is a story with facts in it this is the kind of story I was sent over here to get This is what America's waiting for" "It would be a bigger story if you could just wait for a few hours until we can find Van Meer and find out what's behind this whole curious story" "I know what's behind it" "I don't mean who's behind it I mean the why of it" "Dear, will you get all my correspondence with Mr. Krouk?" "Please, do what father says, it will be best for you and poor Mr. Van Meer" "Ok, I'll wait" "And what about you, Mr. Haverstock?" "I'm a little worried about myself I feel a bit weak minded" "I don't like you dashing about without some kind of protection" "Oh, forget it" "What you need is protection" "Listen, I've covered mob killings and race mass meetings since I was a toddler without even carrying a rabbits foot" "These people are criminals not house breakers" "They're fanatics, they combine love with indifference for loyalty" "They don't respect life, theirs or the others" "They're unscrupulous" "I couldn't look at Mr. Powel again if you didn't live long enough to turn in the best story of the year" "I'm going to be a fine foreign correspondent hiding in an attic" "I'm not suggesting you hide anywhere Just get somebody to watch out" "Jonny Jones goes to Europe and hires a nurse" "That's going to look great on the expenses account" "No, I know a very efficient private investigation agency." "Ok." "Whatever you say" "I can arrange it all for you and if it will make you feel any better" "I won't mention it to anybody" "Excellent, if she finds out I hired a bodyguard I'll shoot myself" "If that's Mr. Rouli tell him to wait outside" "Could you tell Mr. Haverstock Mr. Rouli is here" "Yes, wait here please" "Mr. Haverstock, your cab is here" "Where are you going?" "I'm going down to the office I have work to do" "Oh, but you mustn't go!" "Listen, I was sent here as a writer for a newspaper not a refugee What about lunch at the Savoy?" "I'll see you There" "Please be careful" "I'll be all right" "Is this the man?" "Who's protecting who?" "I'm not tall but I'm quick" "I think you understand exactly what you have to do" "Yes sir, you can trust me to take good care of Mr. Haverstock" "Take me down to my office and if you're good" "I'll let you come to the American Club" "You'll keep after this other thing" "Of course, as son as I know I'll let you know and then you can write the story" "Good bye" "Oh carol!" "Nothing must happen to him, father" "I just couldn't..." "How do we go sir." "Would you like me to walk a little way behind you or besides you like a friend" "What's the custom?" "Different people like different things things, when I was with the" "Albatross Duke I used to walk along side with him man to man" "I was with another lady who thought I was disrespectful" "Three steps behind, she said and don't smoke on duty" "Well what's good for you is good for me" "We better work as a team" "Oh Thank you." "If you want to go to the American Club we better take a cab" "Here there's one" "What's the trouble?" "Gangsters?" "Not exactly" "We aren't scared of gangsters here." "The police don't carry guns" "What do they do then?" "Fight with the stick" "Did you see that?" "Somebody has deliberately pushed me" "That was me sir, if I wouldn't had pushed you would've been caught" "A push or nothing" "Thank you very much" "That's what I'm here for" "Cab!" "To the American Club" "Yes sir" "I'm not sure sir but I think that two men just got a cab behind us" "I don't see anyone suspicious" "I may have been mistaken but all of a sudden I saw them" "They may know where we're going" "Driver, go down Victoria St." "and turn around Buckingham Palace" "We might be safest taking the long way around" "Our best plan is to pull down in the next corner and change cabs" "Driver, take the first to your left and pull out" "We'll take a little walk" "I understand the money I'll be quicker" "I think our best plan is to slip into the cathedral for a bit" "Let's call the officer, let him catch up with this, have him show" "No, I wouldn't cause a scene Our job is to give them the slip" "I thought so" "Do you mind not going right in?" "I saw it was a sacred mass You know a mass for the dead" "These things always depresses me Prying for the dead" "The music and the candles give me the creeps" "I'm serious" "What about a trip up to the tower?" "that will put us off the scene" "Boys, careful There" "I can't see" "Here, here, There you are my boy" "Look boy" "Oh, look!" "It flew away, I'll get you another one" "careful boys You better be careful too, sir" "Not yet boys" "Come on, I've seen it all I have a luncheon date and plenty to do before" "I have that in mind, don't you worry, really" "Isn't it worth a while coming up here?" "Look, that's the Parliament over there and that's Saint James Park, that green patch" "Come along boys" "If you'll excuse me for getting so scared when you leaned forward sir" "I was once with a man on a bridge in Switzerland, he had a very nasty fall" "Killed him, always makes me a bit nervous these things" "Don't go down just yet, sir I'd like you to see..." "It's just coming out of the mist" "Look, the Royal Guard going to Buckingham Palace." "My legs are shaking" "I'm scared, let's get down Again" "We have just come up Why didn't you say so?" "Excuse me Miss, I know how you feel You're afraid of heights and there's nothing we can do" "And what I have to do with you, I'd like to know" "All right, keep your head on, I was only sympathising with the lady" "I'm going down anyway" "Wait for the lift" "No stairs for me I'm going to take the elevator" "Wait a minute sir You haven't seen the Royal Guard yet" "You must seen the Royal Guard" "Where?" "I don't see them" "Right There, down the road" "Just going towards the white building" "Boys, this way" "Well, for the grace of God" "I still don't know what instinct made me step aside when he came at me" "You need a drink" "I heard the lift and I turned" "I saw that look in his eyes and the whole thing went through my mind" "All I could think it was Fisher" "Fisher planed this, and I guess I just stepped aside" "It went all right Do you want this?" "No, thank you" "When are you going to send the story to our newspaper" "When I get ready" "There it goes one of my lessons I thought you were one of those journalist that nothing could stop" "Floods, small pox, love The story must go on" "It will go on" "No, I can understand you not wanting to drag Mss." "Fisher into it but on the other hand she's probably in it already" "You dirty mouth!" "As a second thought, I'm sure not I'm sure she's a fine girl, upstanding, honest and great soul" "I can't send the story over on Van Meer until he's safe" "We have to find Van Meer first" "Here's our man now probably Van Meer, come in!" "How are you?" "Congratulations on your little set with Rouli" "What do you know about Rouli?" "ffolliott knows a lot of things, he probably knows about Fisher" "I was after Fisher a year ago but then the fellow with the high collar" "Krouk, he knew me" "So you were after him too" "I followed him to London" "I thought you were cold on the story" "I've been doing what you might call a little bit of noticing" "Do you remember that tramp you found asleep in the mill?" "Well it wasn't a tramp at all" "Van Meer I suppose" "Not quite" "He did a strange thing, he dirty his hands with some of that Dutch soil" "I can't follow the work in these days of master minds" "No, tell him it's ridiculous" "You had disappeared and I follow Krouk" "I got to the same place" "You mean Fisher?" "The good, the kind, the genius Fisher" "Hello, this is Stopins, I want to place a bet, Piper Tichine the first.." "The race is over?" "I didn't know about that, I'll call you back latter" "Any objections about working the rest of this thing together?" "Catch Fisher, find Van Meer and all that" "It's all right with me but I would like to know why they kidnapped him" "He was one of the signatures on the second treaty" "The most important clause at that treaty was memorized by the two people who signed the treaty" "I see, and they are going to beat it out of him" "They're going to try hard enough and I think it would be a good idea to put a stop to them." "It contains a peace of information that would be valuable to the enemy of the war that breaks out tomorrow" "Why doesn't somebody let me in on this?" "We have to get busy" "Oh!" "Plenty of time" "Do you mind waiting a minute, you might be of some help" "I thought a little plan for pausing Fisher's hands" "What is it?" "Well, the neatest thing to do would be to kidnap Fisher's daughter" "One of Fisher's few genuities is the affection to Miss Fisher" "You're speaking to the young man who loves her" "Even better because you'll have a chance to get charming and keep her out of this mess" "And this is my little plan." "I walk in in Fisher's office and I tell him that his daughter is in the hands of someone who means business just as he means business when he kidnaps people" "I think he'll get it" "Not with me" "I thought you were a newspaper man" "Well, that doesn't include kidnapping your fiancée where I come from" "Maybe if your country is in danger" "No, this is not my country" "But it's your story" "Don't be so gloomy about it, she does not need to know what you're doing" "Just keep her away for a few hours" "I want to grab Fisher and have a show down with him" "That's not good, we got nothing on Fisher and he'll slip out of it anyway." "He's been slipping out of it for years" "until we do get him and kill him" "Darling, what were you doing up there on the tower?" "Keeping out of the assassins way but they followed us" "There was a scuffle, that's all" "They won't stop until they get you you must leave London immediately" "But the only thing everyone forgets is that I'm a reporter and there's a war." "I can't run out on this war" "He can't stay here, tell him how desperate these men are" "You can't stay here another minute, why don't you take her somewhere?" "I won't go" "Don't you have an aunt in the country or something?" "Yes, my aunt Margaret in Harpenter." "Please darling let me take you there." "What do you say?" "You stay out of this" "May I use your pone?" "Hello, this is carol speaking Would you tell Mr. Fisher that I'm driving down to my aunt's Margaret in Harpenter?" "I don't care what you arrange, I won't go" "I'll get back in time for dinner" "It's all set" "Dear carol, it's not good" "I wonder if that aunt's idea is so good, let's say we go up to" "Cambridge" "But there's no place as secure as Harpenter" "Somebody might know you and connect you with him" "You're right, let's make it to Cambridge" "All right, in the mean time I'll pone your father so he doesn't worry" "That was a break walking in and suggesting to go to the country" "As a matter of fact I suggested it to her about an hour ago" "Well, There haven't been a sign of anybody for the last 30 miles" "What's the matter?" "Nothing" "Well' you might at least talk to me, it's unfair of you to sit there just because I kidnapped you from your so called duties" "You kidnapped me?" "Well' just remember that, will you?" "Please forgive me" "I don't think kidnapping is the wrong thing when it's the right kind of kidnap, so do you?" "Hello?" "No, Mr. ffolliott, is not in yet." "Very well sir" "You don't love me?" "You're crazy" "You looked unhappy when you kissed me" "I haven't been happier in my life" "Jonny, what's happened?" "The war I guess, they say it's coming tomorrow" "Oh, so you've changed your philosophy since yesterday." "There're more important things in the world than love" "I've a lot to do of the important things, it will take me 3 hours" "I'm not going to be misunderstood I'm so in love with you" "I'm going mad" "Won't do" "I suppose I can't be helped" "That's unfair, I'm just a big jackass as I ever was, bigger" "You're not going back to London for dinner tonight, you can't run out on your kidnapper like that" "I mean, well, you know what I mean" "If you run out I'll go back straight to London and let them bang me off" "I'll be a relieve" "Well, you're in a bad mood Am I the cause of it?" "If you knew how much I love you you wouldn't think" "There, what did I tell you?" "Come in" "A call for you from London" "Well, have them switch it out" "I'm sorry sir, the only pone here is in the office" "All right, I'll be down" "Just a moment" "Hello?" "Is that you Haverstock?" "Are you alone?" "I mean, ca I talk?" "I can't get a hold of Fisher." "He's been out all the afternoon" "I'm afraid you're going to have to keep her There longer than we planed" "I don't know what time he'll be back but I've to catch him up alone" "I think you'd better keep the girl there for the rest of the night" "But that's absolutely impossible" "We can't let this thing go now" "I can't explain but I simply couldn't pull a thing like that" "There isn't anything else that could be done." "I'm counting on you" "Hello, hello" "Are you quite satisfied with your room, sir?" "Not exactly, that's..." "I mean yes I really want another single room" "Mr. Ardy, this gentleman wants another room, is it for the lady?" "And how long would you require it?" "She's just going to be here this one night" "The gentleman has # 7" "What about #8?" "It doesn't really make any difference as long as it's a good room" "Perfectly, sir" "The room next to you," "It's quite a cozy room, isn't it?" "They're all very much alike to me" "It will do" "Will you Bring the lady down to sign the registry please?" "I'll go her" "It's terrible." "The man that was here this morning..." "Are my bags all packed?" "And Miss carol's, what about hers?" "Ms. Stars packed them too." "She hopes she put the right things in It's been such a rush" "Miss." "carol is not back here yet" "Mr. ffolliott is here now, he's sitting in the sitting room" "Another gentleman phoned but he didn't leave his name" "I thought I recognized his voice as the foreigner who was here" "Did he say if he would call again?" "Yes, he said it was urgent" "Show Mr. ffolliott to the study" "Hello sir." "You caught me in a very busy moment" "I'm getting ready to go back to America tomorrow" "Are you taking carol with you?" "Yes, she doesn't know about it yet." "It's been a rush, I'm waiting for her" "Well' what's your worry?" "It must be important" "Yes it is It's a bout carol, I'm afraid..." "What is it?" "Anything happened to her?" "No sir, but I don't think you'll be able to take her to America with you" "It might sound silly but carol's been kidnapped" "A joke of some short?" "What do you mean Kidnapped?" "She went to see an aunt in Harpenter" "I'm afraid she isn't" "Who gave you the mesage that Miss carol had gone to see her aunt?" "Miss Fisher herself" "That's where she was going" "Harpenter 43422." "Hello Margaret, is carol with you?" "No, no, she said she was going up to see you, I didn't know whether to expect her back for dinner" "No, she isn't There." "What makes you think that she's been kidnapped?" "Because I arranged it" "Well, this has gone far enough Where is carol?" "carol is been held as a short of hostage by honest people like you" "Don't be so cryptic What are you talking about?" "I want to know where you're hiding Van Meer" "You've been talking to Haverstock, he said Van Meer's still alive" "Didn't you promise Haverstock you would look into it?" "Trying to put him out of the way, how delightful it's the way you work" "A couple of lifes don't mean anything to you" "The people who are with carol could learn from your book" "Where is she?" "Where is Van Meer?" "I think I can get our friend to talk if you come here yourself" "Sorry to drag you here but I think it's the only way if you want to leave tomorrow" "When you get here ask at the cashier desk to use the pone" "I'll go as son as I can" "If you want carol to go with you you'd better tell me where Van Meer is" "Bring her back and I'll give you the address" "She'll be here in 3 hours I'd better get the address now" "I give you my word, you'll have it as son as carol is home" "I can't possibly wait 3 hours, besides I want Van Meer alive" "Well, I delivered him all right" "I think I'll be going along now, thank you very much for those notes" "Sorry but I heard my daughter's car coming" "This is not like you, what is what upsets you?" "I've been silly." "I behaved stupidly, I know" "Please forgive me." "I didn't think he was that short of person" "Something to do with that Haverstock." "You like him very much, don't you?" "Not after what happened today" "I drove him down to the country today to get him away from those people" "I thought you were going to aunt's Margaret" "We were but Scott ffoliet thought it would be better to go farer away" "So I thought St. James College in Cambridge would be a good place" "When I got There I found out what he wanted" "He seemed to be joking about it but when I heard him book an extra room I knew he meant it" "That's a cheap trick, that's what hurts, it was so cheap!" "He wasn't at all like I thought he was, so what difference does it make?" "I don't care if I ever see him Again" "You won't have to see him." "We're going back to America tomorrow" "Tomorrow?" "But I can't!" "I suppose I can." "Why tomorrow?" "It's our last chance." "War will be declared tomorrow" "I have to get to Washington, the planes are crowded" "I'd have to wait two weeks for a passage" "But father, what about Mr. Van Meer?" "We did all we could" "This afternoon I went to the Foreign Office, they're taking over" "The lights are off" "I had forgotten, I've a couple of people I must see before we leave" "It won't be long Ms. Stars is done packing" "I thought to go to Southampton by car." "We can stay over at the Western." "My hat please!" "Good night darling, I'll be back as soon as I can, in the mean time help to load the car so we don't loose any time" "You'd better get something to eat" "I'm not hungry, I'll just have a sandwich later" "242 Charlot Street, half way to Tottenham CarI Road." "Wait for Haverstock, he's about to come here." "As son as he arrives bring him to" "Hello?" "Here he comes, be careful" "May I use your pone?" "Where is he?" "In there, we can't make him say anything" "I'm afraid it's up to you" "We better go in Is this place save?" "There'll be no interruption, it's closed for redecoration" "What about the people downstairs?" "They won't make any problem, they know what it will happen to their relatives in their home land if they do" "It's not a nice place and the music is annoying but it serves a purpose" "Get lost" "Put your arm around him and hold his head forward" "The lights, can't they cut them down?" "Thank you, thank you very much" "You're like my friend Mr. Fisher" "I'm sorry, it's so dark, I can't tell but you're so like my friend" "I'm Fischer, Mr. Van Meer, I'm your friend" "That's okay Is the police here?" "They mustn't get away, you must get these people" "Pardon gentlemen, I represent Jupiter Insurance, can I introduce you our..." "Why did you bring him up there?" "I didn't know what to do" "She didn't want to leave me uninvited to this but you know how women they have no sense of timing" "Look, I'll just sit here and you just carry on with what you're doing" "Don't mind me Sometimes I sit like this for hours" "Who's there?" "Is this the police?" "Oh, tell me where I am" "You're in London Mr Van Meer" "Have I been here long?" "You must send a telegram to my wife." "Tell her that I'm save with you" "You have to understand Mr. Van Meer the police are not here" "I'm here to talk to you" "But these people..." "They don't know that I'm your friend" "Let's fool them" "fool them?" "They want me to ask you to tell me what they're trying to find out" "But I can't do that, you know that I can't" "You can tell me Mr. Van Meer just that one clause in the Treaty" "Clause 27, clause 27." "But it's a secret clause, I know clause 27, but they mustn't know it it would help them if they make war" "Fisher, you don't want to help them, do you?" "Of course I don't, just get them see you telling it to me, it'll be enough" "Just get them see you whisper it to me" "He's not your friend Mr. Van Meer, don't tell him" "Who's that?" "Someone just said you're not my friend" "Why didn't you bring the police?" "Why aren't you taking me away from here?" "Ah!" "You didn't come to get me out!" "Fisher?" "Are you?" "Help me!" "Help me Fisher!" "I see it now, there's no help for the whole poor suffering world" "You cried peace and there was no peace, only war and death" "You're a liar!" "You can do what you want with me, that's not important, but you'll never conquer them" "Little people everywhere who give crumbs to birds... they whip them, force them into war" "When the beast like you devour each other, the world belongs to the little people." "We're wasting a lot of our time" "All right, I will speak, I will tell everything" "In the event of an evasion..." "There's only one restaurant, look" "Come on, let's go downstairs" "Call Scotland Yard." "All that I can say is that you're an idiot if you don't get Fisher" "Don't be a fool, how can we arrest him without an evidence?" "Don't be so abstinent." "Isn't Van Meer himself proof enough?" "No it isn't and you had to know it" "What Prof. speaks of Fisher personally?" "If you stopped behaving like a boy scout and let us handle this." "Ask Mc Henem to come in here" "Why don't you go to see Doctor Funny Face, he's very good" "Can I have the case of Mr. Van Meer?" "He's still unconscious but there's no doubt that is Van Meer" "All right, you'd better get back here." "Take a man with you so you can give a statement as soon as he comes too, in the mean time send a man to keep an eye on that plane and wait instructions from us" "Why do we have to be related to Scotland Yard?" "I can't get that fool up there to do anything" "Scotland Yard Can't solve my problem" "Is Scotland Yard involved?" "Everybody but me" "Come on, we have to get on that plane and keep an eye on Fisher" "Why don't you call Meifer, 24574..." "What?" "Meifer, 24574, he's my cousin Jeffrey Queen, director of the airline and tell him that I need 2 tickets for the Clipper to America, tomorrow morning." "you got that?" "Then go to Houston Hospital and don't leave Van Meer." "Then call Miss." "Amaró, Kensington Hotel 66255, and ask her to have dinner with me on Monday instead of tomorrow and then call Stephen and tell him I'm off to America" "The call the Dance Academy and cancel my class" "And two ham sandwiches with white bread" "I have several thing I have to do" "It's hard to say how soon he'll recover maybe some moths." "Frankly, I don't know much about this my friends are on the Clipper" "I'll be in touch with them sending a telegram to the plain" "Did you hear the radio?" ""War declared"" ""Read the news" "War declared"" ""War declared, war declared" "Extra"." "I've found the picture" "I'll put this bag here, we'll be more comfortable" "Good thinking" "It's a nice flight" "Is there a message for me?" "I'm Miss Benson, Is there a message for me?" "This is for me" "Van Meer conscious." "Has provided all necessary evidence." "Steps have been taken to meet plane other side"" "It's lovely, isn't it?" "Short of makes you forget of the war" "It would be nice if we could keep flying for a long time" "But it's time for me to make our landing, a forced landing" "What's the matter?" "Anything happened?" "carol, it's very complicated but I need to talk to you, that's the most difficult thing, I don't mind about the rest, really" "It's about Van Meer?" "You guessed!" "I've been worried but I believed in you" "You shouldn't't" "I shouldn't, why I shouldn't believe?" "I'll be arrested as a spy and shipped back to London" "That's quite all right except just one part of it, you" "That's why I want to talk to you." "I would like you to see it from my own point of view." "That might help you afterwards" "First about yourself." "I didn't want you involved in any part of it because your English, half English, I'm not," "I just cultivated the English accent" "I fought for my country in my Herat on my own little way because sometimes it's hard to fight honourably in the open" "I've used my country's methods because I grew up with them," "I don't intend to make a confession that's why" "I make it to my daughter whom I love dearly and whom I confess I feel ashamed" "What you say to me means now more than any other verdict" "Waiter!" "This is not for me, it's a mistake" "I'm not going to sit here for another 14 hours and play hide and seek with her." "I'm going to talk to her and have it over with." "I don't see why you can do any harm Nobody knows we're on the plane" "And I don't want a word in front of her, do you understand?" "I didn't mean of talking" "How do I know?" "I'm all mixed up" "I'm in love with a girl and I'm going to help hang her father" "I have to say something or I'll go crazy" "Why don't you have a Cognac, It will make you feel better" "You know it always makes me cry harder" "Surprised?" "What are you doing here?" "Taking myself for a ride." "Look carol I have to speak to you." "Do you mind Mr. Fisher?" "Is ffolliott with you?" "In a way" "You're both after my father, you're going to have him arrested" "I've never arrested anyone in my life" "That's a lie, you've been following him from the beginning, that's why you wanted me out of the way yesterday at the Inn pretending you loved me, trying to keep me overnight." "It was a lie, that's all" "Hello, quite a reunion!" "You too!" "Why don't we have a drink?" "I'll be right back" "Where are you going?" "I want to stretch my legs." "By the way, I read the cable you've received" "It was given to me by mistake" "That's all right sir" "You're not leaving without me" "I know you both think my father is a traitor and a renegade but he isn't, not to me" "At least it's a minority report, you're very welcome" "carol, I have nothing to do with spies or anything, I'm just a reporter and I came here after a story beside I never heard of them" "I would blow up the Globe and cut Mr. Powel's throat rather than do anything to harm you" "What do they think they're doing?" "They're crazy, what's this?" "Call, tell them we are being attacked" "I'm sorry ffolliott, it has nothing to do with me" "Why the life jacket?" "We're heading towards the water" "You're the most amazing woman I've ever seen" "Make sure my father has it on" "Hey!" "Put this on!" "That's it, keep trying" "Why don't you get out sir?" "You'll go crazy out There" "All right, I'm coming, this is not like a storm" "Do whatever you can" "I know it's difficult to keep calm but we are doing everything we can" "Why don't you sit back?" "It could be dangerous" "I'm not going to put this on Who are they shooting at?" "I haven't seen anything like this I'll talk to the British consul" "She's dead" "What are they doing?" "My God!" "Turn off the gas" "Turn off the motor, we'll go down slower" "It's the German boat, he said he's sorry, he's coming to our rescue right away" "Look at the wing coming off!" "It's not save to stay here, once it hits the water the taiI will be the safest place" "Come on" "I can't straighten it" "It's coming under" "Quick on the wing" "Look, there's a pilot" "Don't pull anyone fools or we'll all drawn" "I'm going to push him out" "He's right, I'd better stay on the other wing I'll go to the other side" "Father is gone Jonny, no, you'll be washed away!" "Look, it must be the enemy trying to pick us up" "Is it the enemy?" "We're safe" "An American ship, the Mohican, took us all up is taking us back to London." "We're not allowed to say anything" "I'll write from London in a couple of days" "I've just been having an argument with the captain." "The fellow insists on making the true neutral, neutral waters, he said, not allowed to the press" "Can't I send out any stories?" "We have to use a pone for private messages" "Hello I'm Haverstock, saved from the Mohican, felling deeped off!" "Two days before we get to London, we'll get scooped out of the story" "Why don't you have a talk with the captain?" "What's the use?" "Even if he says okay what good does it do to me that answer?" "What are you talking about?" "carol, I came 4.000 miles to get a story," "I get shot like a duck, I get pushed off a building," "I get the story and then I have to shut up" "What are you laughing at?" "I'm sincere, I'm not going to throw up her father" "I don't care how he lived, he died like a hero, he saved her and the rest of us." "Anyway the whole point of this is that he was her father" "I'm not going to play Judas to the only girl I've ever loved" "I'm glad you said that, very glad." "Are you all right?" "I'm all right, I want you to send the whole story" "We'll talk about that later" "I don't want you to feel that way, you can't help me protecting my father" "I'm in love with you, I can hit you over the head with a scandal" "My father fought for his country his way, it wasn't a straight way but it was the hard way and I have to fight for my country the hard way" "Is that the way you feel about it?" "I guess that's for me, I put on a call to my uncle, uncle Powel" "Jonny Jones on the line calling from the Mohican" "What is he doing There?" "Wait a minute, he wouldn't call if There wasn't a story" "Stop it Tell Bradley to come" "Tell him we are breaking page 1" "Mr. Powel?" "This is Jonny Jones." "Easy, here comes the captain" "Keep your eras glued to this pone and don't hang up" "I want to talk to you" "I just found out you're a newspaper man" "Why didn't you tell me that when I questioned you?" "You lied sir" "My dear captain when you've been shut down in a British plane by a" "German destroyer 300 miles off the coast of England, latitude 45, and I have been hanging on a half immersed wing for hours waiting to drawn with another half of streaking human beings you're allowed to forget that" "You're going to have to forget it for longer than that, for as long as you are on this ship" "I can't understand your attitude sir." "You performed an heroic rescue" "Captain John Martin, you took us all out of the sea" "You're not sending anything from this ship, that's final!" "We mustn't do anything to embarrass the United States Government" "Exactly, that's my point" "If you don't want me to print it I think you have to hear it first" "That's only fair captain" "You know who was the head of that spy movement in London?" "Mr. Stephen Fischer." "You mean the man that run the Universal Peace Movement?" "The same Mr. Fisher who had drawn a few hours ago" "He was using the Peace Treaty as a cover" "He was going to be arrested as son as we landed and sent back to England Those are facts" "I can't believe it, he was a friend of mine" "The same Stephen Fisher would engineered the kidnapping of Van Meer" "You don't expect anybody to believe that?" "Captain, I think this young lady should know the truth" "Yes, Mr. Fisher was my father and I want the story printed" "What is that?" "I guess that's my uncle Hello, hello uncle, how are you?" "I'm calling you from the Mohican." "I'm all right, we got a little accident but I can't tell you now" "I'll tell you later, I'll write you." "Do you have any instruction for me?" "Yes, keep on the job!" "Have you get all that down?" "Rush it out at once" "This is London, we have as a guest tonight one of the soldiers of the press, one of the historians who were writing history from behind the canyon's mouth." "A foreign correspondent from the New York Globe, Huntley Haverstock." "Hello America!" "I've been watching a part of the world being blown into pieces, a part of the world as nice as Vermont, Ohio and Virginia and... it's been ripped out and bleeding like a stair on a Florida house and" "I've seen things that make history look like a fairy tale" "We should have to postpone the broadcast" "Let's go as long as we can" "No if we have to go downstairs" "What do you say carol?" "They're listening to you in America" "I can't read the rest of the speech because the lights have gone out so I just have to talk of what I see" "All that noise you hear is the static is dead coming to London" "You can hear the bombs falling on the streets and the homes" "Hang on a while, this is a big story and you're a part of it" "It's too late to do anything here except stand in the dark" "The lights are all out everywhere except in America" "Keep those lights burning, cover them with steal" "Bring up your guns, build a vessel, battle ships and bombing plants" "Hello America!" "Hang on to your lights!" "They're the only lights left in the world!"
