"They came in with a tapestry,they left with the same tapestry" "Good" "I wish it was not a religious painting" "Are you superstitious?" "I was brought up to respect religious property" "Of course,but if we make it our own property we can respect it all the more" "You go on duty in a few minutes" "Arrivederci" "You better get in the truck" "What's happened to Randana?" "Go and see" "In italian Vo preve portato un portait por favore" "Un momento la razza resta qui o no" "What's the matter are you hot?" "Hei,aqui no te fuma,niente cigarette niente cigarette,capito" "How are you captain?" "Very good" "Weather all right for Carthage?" "OK" "You got the lifeboat?" "Yankee surplus,very OK" "Yankee surplus?" "Gasoline?" "Benzina" "I like it" "Is this for sale,Miss Vasarri?" "Only two kinds of artists can afford to collect their own paintings rich artists and bad ones, Miss Vasarri is neither" "You wish to buy it?" "17000 francs" "That's about 50$" "Thanks" "Hello,Charles" "Cut any throats lately?" "Painting.You have it?" "Excuse me" "Felix!" "Dear boy,how is your health?" "At the moment fine" "Sam I want you to meet Mr Aramescu,Sam Conride" "How do you do,Sir" "Mr Aramescu is a great art collector and connoisseur," "Sam Conride is my loyal friend and partner" "It was for Aramescu we miraculously found the painting" "I waited a long time for this moment" "They say collecting art is a disease not dangerous but contagious" "Here's to art,the only world where age comes before beauty" "The painting let me see it,I'm ready to pay" "As anxious as a bridegroom on his wedding night" "Get him the painting,Sam" "I haven't got it" "He's right,this is no place for business we go to his hotel,is my car being used,Charles?" "Painting is gone" "Burned" "Do you mean burned?" "The boat accidentally caught fire, I was lucky to escape with my life" "Luck.You call it luck to destroy a masterpiece" "Such a,lose you idiot" "Burned?" "Waiting all these years and now" "How did you say it happened?" "I've told you" "Then tell me again" "The boat burned outside" "Why were there no life boats" "How?" "He's lying" "Get the police officials in Carthage" "So the painting is burned" "Police Carthage,s'il vous plait!" "I could either saved the painting or my life" "There are so many lives in this tortured world and so few clients willing to pay me a 100000 $" "Here you are alive, and so much money is dead" "I am in deep mourning" "Felix,you don't trust me,do you?" "I trust you as much as you trust me, the truth would melt in our mouths" "You think I kept the painting for myself?" "No,but someone else,someone less loyal than you might tried" "What good would it do him?" "None.He couldn't sell it on the open market the painting is too well known" "And the museums wouldn't touch it" "A few private collectors might buy it" "It has to be somebody you didn't know,it is hardly likely" "Sam, if I ever found out that the painting was not burned" "You'd kill me" "Yes,dear boy,I would" "Un moment s'il vous plait" "Ici Felix Guignol,quelle gens il bateau s'agit il ?" "What was the name of your boat?" "The Lucky Girl,La Ragazza Fortunato, registered out of Palermo, paid for with your money,not insured" "Oui,oui, Merci" "Give me one minute with him and he will tell the truth" "What would you do Charles?" "Squeeze all of my toes with a toehold or out of my ears with a headlock" "I thought you had to rehearse before you wrestle" "Charles,please,you know how I detest violence" "Well,dear boy,8000 $ in cash invested in this venture,lost 100000 $ client lost" "Not exactly" "We're the only people who know that the painting is burned" "For the rest of the world it is only stolen,right" "What's prevent us to have a half a dozen imitations made" "In that way we'd have six clients instead of one each of them,swearing that he owns the original" "My affection for you is returning" "You'll get out Feyden to do the imitation" "He's in jail in New York" "There is Max he paints in the renaissance style" "Poor Max,turned honest, is starving to death" "Send him a cable" "If I can help it,I never do business with honest people" "Are there any of the local talents to be persuaded?" "The best is here tonight" "I exhibit their painting, call it civic pride" "Hooray,hooray for Jersey" "Now,let's see" "That one,he is very good,the best, but too rich,he won't be tempted easily" "The one on the left is good but paints only modern" "The other one should be painting fences" "He could do it,then he is poor but .." "She has Benetti's style,she needs money" "In that case she is not my type" "But you are more her type than his,you take my word for it" "Excuse me" "My dear,I want you to meet Sam Conride, a lover of art" "Miss Anna Vasarri" "Maybe able to help you sell your paintings" "Je vouz cherchez,le chef, excusez n'est ce pas?" "Excuse me,she is really genius for renaissance" "You're very attractive to be an artist" "But also rather young to be a genius" "And you are a little old to be so rude" "Miss Vasarri,italian?" "Are you from Rome?" "Milan?" "I'll see Mademoiselle home" "Why?" "Because I'm never rude to the same lady twice" "Thank you,Good night" "Do you like to sell your paintings?" "I can help you" "Why?" "You're an artist and I'm a dealer" "We can both do with the money" "May I?" "You like it?" "It is bad?" "No,I'm thirsty" "Oh,excuse me" "What is these sketches here?" "I do them for a magazine in Rome" "Magazines.Corruptors of art" "Oh,no.Without magazines to pay us, most of us would not be painters" "And the rest of us would be starving" "To all those wonderful people who paint those,ah?" "You've got many more sketches to do?" "No,tomorrow I'm finished" "And then?" "Then I must find my work" "Here in Tunis?" "Wherever I can paint" "I have the feeling your future is here" "Did you do this?" "Yes" "Wonderful" "It's copied from Rafael, Madonna del Granduca" "It's not bad but it is a copy" "Texture,brushwork,details" "This were aged and cracked" "Of course in Rafael's time, the white did not have zinc and this blue is synthetic out of marine not used before 19th Century" "Rafael was dead long,long time ago" "Go on?" "You made any other copies of old masters?" "Yes" "Of the renaissance period?" "Have you ever thought of selling one of these?" "But who would buy a copy?" "Someone who did not know it was a copy" "I don't understand" "By painting it in the name of Rafael, ageing it,this could be sold as an original" "Good enough to get back in some markets" "You understand?" "Yes.Now I understand" "Good Night Mr Conride" "You're offended?" "Why do you paint?" "For art's sake or for money?" "My paintings are for sale, mine,not copies or imitations but mine" "My paintings,not me" "But nothing can't be bought or sold, people,things and especially copies" "Please Mr Conride,go away" "I believe you,you are telling the truth,I'm glad" "Otherwise,some other time perhaps" "Thank You,Anna,don't ever be anything except what you are" "Good Night" "R,F, Hartley,Art Galleries,Brussels, merchandise for sale,will cable arrangements, send Conride" "Eighteen other francs,please" "Yes" "Good Morning.Mr Conride" "Hello" "Keep waiting long?" "I beg you pardon" "You've been on my tail all morning, what's your problem?" "May I talk with you please?" "No" "Why,don't you trust me becoming rich?" "Don't you want to make me rich?" "Yes" "And happy?" "Why then first rich" "What can you lose?" "Please" "Hotel Internazionale" "Have you not wanted something so you could think of nothing else?" "So there is scratches inside you all the time" "That is the way I want to own a Benetti painting" "That particular Benetti painting" "I own many things,gold and silver ornaments, worth a fortune papyrus on which was written the Ten Commandments" "A vase said to contain the ashes of Hannibal" "They say the painting has curative powers" "It will heal blindness and sickness they say" "It belongs in my collection" "I would even kill for that painting" "I promised Felix 100000 $ to get it for me" "I'm offering you 5000 $ more" "I'd like to oblige but the painting is burned" "No,it is not,you will give it to me, because you have it" "I do not feel funny,Mr Conride" "No,but you look it" "Hello,Sam" "That cologne of yours is very loud" "But in Tunis very necessary" "I didn't know he was here,I swear it to you" "Sam,wait" "Sorry,I have an appointment with a lady" "Don't tell me that thing was loaded" "As much as I don't think it is in his nature,Sam maybe telling the truth" "The painting probably is burned" "No,it was not burned,I would not believe it" "Hello,Mademoiselle,recherches moi Antoine,c'est en bas" "Anton?" "Sam just left" "Did it ever occur to you he never stole it in the first place?" "It was someone else that Mr Conride only is capitalizing on his theft" "If it has a crooked aspect,it has occurred to them" "I go back to Taormina" "Twice before it has been stolen, twice before returned to the church" "This time I will intercept the painting" "This time I will succeed" "You seem very positive" "It's faith" "In that case accept my condolences" "Vous avez reserve 47" "Oui,Monsieur" "Have you ever heard of Enrico Benetti's painting The Saviour?" "I've seen it in the church of Taormina" "It was stolen" "Laddro,mascalzone.Steal from a church!" "I first heard about it last night" "A dear friend of mine.Anna, are you familiar with Syracuse?" "No" "This dear friend of mine from Syracuse,the Marchese D'Argento" "Phoned with the bad news" "This painting was a part of the Altar Piece" "The sick,the poor, they are happy people pray before it" "Even at Sartaloni it wasn't" "The Marchese feels the same way" "They will catch the thief,wait.You will see" "I don't think they will and neither does the Marchese" "He is so unhappy about the whole thing, he wants another painting made" "Exactly like Benetti,like the one that was stolen, and put back in church" "He'll pay 400 $ to an artist who begins the work and another 400 $ when the painting is finished" "You wish me to?" "You were thinking of this last night?" "Please help me ,Anna, if you won't do it yourself perhaps you know someone who would perhaps" "But the way you paint,the feeling you have to the subject no one could do it better than you" "Then last night why did you not ask?" "It was sensitive artist,imitations" "I was more than own original work" "Then you'll do it?" "You could certainly use the money" "And it would mean so much to the people of Sicily" "It is not easy without Benetti's painting to copy" "No,there are lots of photographs, lithographs in all sizes and colours" "When are you starting?" "I must first arrange for the cloth" "That's already done" "And canvas" "It will,Benetti's Saviour was painted on wood" "Yes I know but for a cloth" "For us nothing but the genuine article" "The cheapest thing in Africa is life" "What is the most expensive thing?" "Harlow" "British?" "You're far from home" "You've many children?" "None that I know of" "You do not like babies?" "Shouldn't you ask me if I'm married first?" "No." "Because I do not wish to hear the answer" "OK" "Are you?" "What?" "You know" "No" "I like you Sam" "What do you do?" "I mean,how do you make your living?" "I live" "But the money?" "Money.What's that?" "The salary,the wages" "I would have pay all those taxes" "Tell me,have you been to Carthage?" "I think I better begin to paint" "No,in this part of the world,no one works when the sun is high" "Think I know some people who don't work when the sun is low either" "Why did you do that?" "Salty" "We must go back now yes?" "I must begin to paint" "I must earn my money" "You are" "Good Morning Sam" "Good Morning,what a coincidence" "Yes,isn't it?" "I was looking for you,and you are looking for me and we meet,coincidence" "First accept my apology" "What did you do to me now?" "I stood and waited in the room" "You thought I was trying to sell the painting to Aramescu,remember?" "Dear boy,what else could I think?" "For Mr Aramescu all roads lead to the Benetti's painting" "Still doubtful about it?" "Knowing you,yes" "My dear boy" "Don't be" "I've started things moving on the imitation" "Good" "And I gave up a whole day to this desire" "I know,Anton saw you" "You had me followed?" "Don't you can trust my relations with her?" "Knowing you,no" "A whole day,why would I do that except for business?" "Why not?" "She is a very nice girl" "To me its her least appealing feature" "Won't you be grateful for any little favours extended by an attractive woman?" "She is a kind of woman who wants to get married" "Shall I have a little talk with her?" "Oh no,the better she knows you the less she will trust me" "Fake?" "You ought to be ashamed of yourself" "How much progress have you made with Miss Vasarri?" "Either she is extremely naive or what is worse,she is just plain honest" "But she will do the imitations?" "She's agreed to do one" "Not bad" "Always easier after the first time" "That work" "I promised her 400 $ to start" "Not bad" "I was afraid it would cost 5 times worth" "How good is she,professionally I mean?" "Her own works is mediocre but as a copyist she would be invariable to us" "I need a few more hundred of dollars for expenses" "Dear boy,when you ask for money you are appealing to the most unresponsive side of my nature" "How is my credit?" "I'll have a look at you" "Flush" "Hamadi my friend" "If you wish to be my friend, your troubles must be great" "All I want is for loan of 400 $" "Have you ever heard of the Marshall plan?" "We don't lend money,we borrow it" "Hello" "Who's?" "Hawkley?" "Where are you talking from?" "The hotel lobby?" "This hotel?" "All right,come right up, room 302" "This is Mr MacWade of Edinburgh" "He is an art expert,I'm sure you don't mind if he checks the painting" "May I?" "You shouldn't have come here" "Why not?" "According to your cable.." "According to my cable I was ready to make arrangements a few days I would have brought the goods to you in Brussels" "You're too hot to be in Brussels" "You are in the same temperature in Tunis" "Police?" "It's other complications" "I don't want to hear about them" "The same plane which brought me leaves in an hour I intend to be on it" "May we please get on with our business" "What's this?" "I'm not intending to pay 100000 $ for a fake" "Do you think I tried to fool you?" "You would,you have,you would try again" "When did you need someone else to back up your opinion of a painting?" "Since people like you started selling" "Won't that thing hurt the painting?" "It's only an ultra violet ray,Mr" "It'll show if the painting has been retouched if it has we will see differences in fluorescence" "I'm satisfied,if you are Mr Hawkley" "Do you realize it sounds like a menace to the decent hard working forgers?" "And do you realize that of the 3000 paintings by Corot about 10000 of them are in the US alone?" "Think what it has done for art" "You mind if I take the painting with me?" "You mind if I see the cash" "I'm not sure do you think I would bring all that money with me" "I think I will resent that remark,baby stays here" "Very well,MacWade will remain also" "I'll cable you a bank draft for the cash in a few days" "You'll turn the painting over to MacWade, check it before you accept it" "Agreed?" "Make a deposit though of this." "1% of the price as usual" "I'll take a receipt please" "Wouldn't you look silly going to court to collect on a stolen painting you wanted to buy" "You receive instructions about getting the painting out of here and into Brussels" "Yes,Sir" "Glad to see you again" "Yes" "You know anybody in Tunis?" "No,Sir" "Anybody in Tunis know you?" "Not likely" "Good.We'll keep it that way" "I will get you another room somewhere in another hotel" "And stay away until you've got the cash" "Yes Sir" "Isn't that a beautiful picture?" "He is a handsome guy Franklin" "Madison's portrait of one of these is worth 5000" "Chase is 10000 and Wilson a hundred thousand" "One of these pictures worth a 100000 $?" "Very interesting" "Forget it chum,there is only one Wilson and that's framed and hanging on the wall of the bureau of printing and engraving in Washington" "Madame,I bring these flowers" "Thank you" "The day of my luck changed and you changed it" "It's a night dress and you don't have to press it and it doesn't crease whatever you do with it" "Since this will fit you" "It does" "And a bag to match" "Latest from Paris" "And Madame,your fee 400$" "And get dressed for that big night I promised you" "It's coming along fine,just fine before that is finished" "I think a lot of people will sooner own that than the original" "What's the matter?" "You don't mind me of my fad?" "Are they good or bad?" "Both,thank you.It is like you, I am very happy in excess" "But it was always exciting to be with you" "Did it make you happy?" "Mostly happy sometimes sad, but it was a "happy" sad" "Where shall we go tonight?" "Surprise,surprise,I'll be back in an hour" "Half an hour" "Sam" "Good evening,Sam" "You lose something?" "You are not even warm" "Please put that horrible looking thing away" "I told you the painting was burned" "Charles is sceptic,he doesn't believe you" "Scepticism requires intelligence, something Charles hasn't got" "Just keep making jokes at me" "Not a joke to be stupid,Charles" "Look at it our ways,Sam, Mr Hawkley arrives in Tunis,who is Mr Hawkley?" "One of the cleverest art dealers, one of the few men in the world who could buy Benetti's painting and know how to get rid of it" "He comes here to see you.Why?" "He's not here for pleasure" "He stayed for a few hours,and I saw him leave the country" "So it must be business,his business is with you" "Now what could you have,that would interest Mr Hawkley" "The Benetti painting naturally" "I cabled Hawkley it was for sale, he came a little sooner than I expected" "I knew you wouldn't leave the 100000$ burn up, we re-arrange our deal 70-30" "Felix" "I wouldn't hold it against you,dear boy" "Felix,I'm talking bout the imitation of the Benetti painting" "I'm sure he is going to buy it" "Not Hawkley,you can't deceive Hawkley with an imitation" "I don't expect to,he will be our middle man,sure he will get a cut" "We can peddle all our work" "Why did he leave here so quickly?" "Would you let him see an imitation that wasn't finished?" "No offence,but how good can a forgery be without the original to work from" "The work is amazing,to put it short" "Great deal seems to pin upon Miss Vasarri" "I would rather see the end of it" "Mr Hawkley did not come alone, there was a man, a stranger with a suitcase" "Him?" "Yes." "A jewellery salesman.He came to show a few samples of the ring" "Oh" "For Anna" "Already?" "Well if we wanted to do more than one imitation the ring gives her a rosy feeling about the future" "Excellent." "Marriage would make a silent partner of her" "Who's talking about marriage?" "I am.It's necessary" "Wait a minute" "Why should you object,statistics prove that married men live longer than bachelors,Good night,dear boy" "About that stranger with a suitcase,find him and find out what was in that suitcase" "Remarkable" "Thank you" "And you copied it only from this photograph?" "Remarkable" "For what are you looking?" "Charles is looking for the original Benetti painting" "He is not believing that anyone ,not even you, could make so realistic forgery" "Oh" "Imitation without copying from the original" "But if it was stolen how could?" "Do you think I stole it?" "But the church,but my painting will go to the church" "What?" "The Marchese D'Argento paid me 400 $" "No,it is him you are working for" "Charles" "It's his money" "That's enough" "No" "Everyone thinks I'm stupid but I'm not" "You and Sam had Benetti's painting this forgery.." "Pull it outside" "We apologize,my dear" "What did he mean?" "It was your money" "Charles is very impulsive, and even though he denies it,he is stupid" "What did he mean working for you?" "Only that when you work with Sam, you also work with me" "Sam is my most cherished friend and partner" "But what have you to do with Benetti's painting?" "As an art dealer my interest is only natural it's a valuable work of art and we wish only see it returned to its rightful owner" "No need to be alarmed my dear, you are very young very talented and very lovely,and I'm sorry that we interrupted your work" "Politics,business and art bring together strange bedfellows,au revoir" "Hello" "Hello,Felix" "Hang on a minute will you?" "Hello,darling" "Sam" "Oh,excuse me,I'll be with you in a minute" "Yes" "We visited Miss Vasarri this morning" "Charles was with me,I'm afraid he alarmed her,you know Charles" "Hello,Sam,Hello" "Yeah" "Somebody with you?" "Call me back,and Sam, hold on to her no matter how you do it,promise her anything as a last resort you can even promise her more money" "But only as a last resort" "I know,I know" "I'm a liar.I'm also a cheat and a fraud, you're angry,and you've every right to be" "There is no Marchese,the money it came from Felix" "See when I read about the painting being stolen" "Well,I thought we could make something out of it" "Oh,Sam.You're like a child" "You think to sell my painting,a poor imitation, but you cannot" "You might as well try to sell a fake tower of Pisa" "I have tried" "Look.People buy paintings for four reasons" "One,they love art and beauty." "Two,to make their friends respectable" "Three,to furnish their homes and Four,to make money out of it" "That's the only one you can't fool" "The one who is in it for profit" "You fooled me too,you made a cheat out of me" "You are in good company" "Look for customers give you money's worth, he doesn't know the painting is a fake" "What does he lose?" "You can't smell a rose with somebody else's nose" "The artist who fakes he cheats himself, in the end they would pay but to sell the fake, to cheat the innocent,that is" "That is business" "I agree,business,it's that why you made love to me?" "Business?" "To make out of me a profit" "Do you believe that?" "What else can I believe?" "Hello Darling,I love you" "After I left you I felt a great emptiness, I only hope it is not too late" "I must confess something to you but I don't know how" "In want you to know the truth,I'm guilty of" "That as far as I got with my letter" "I love you,baby" "As much as I have ever loved anybody,more" "How can you use somebody you love?" "If you can't use those whom you love, whom can you use" "I want to marry you,tomorrow, tonight if you like" "Oh, what we do is wrong?" "Best to hold me,Sam,hold me" "Everything is arranged,the marriage licence the wedding ceremony even the honeymoon" "No delay is no problem" "I'm very pleased" "You are very pleased.You are not getting married" "Here is your boat tickets.You leave this afternoon about an hour after the ceremony first stop Palermo then Naples then a train to Rome,we'll join you there at Excelsior" "You're going to chaperone me the entire honeymoon?" "We are changing our base of operation from Tunis to Rome" "It's quite necessary" "Police?" "They've been asking questions" "About me?" "About somebody who arrived in a burning boat chartered out of Palermo" "Someone who entered the country without going through customs.Coffee?" "No" "Breakfast?" "Don't be so unhappy.Marriage is a lottery,you maybe getting a prize" "If it is a lottery it ought to be a law against it" "See you in church" "You think deep down he loves her?" "Dear boy,love is something which takes place before marriage, not during and never after" "For proof ask any of my four ex wives" "Au nome du protectorate Francais de Tunisie y le lois, nous Gerard Filin,maire du Tunis vous pronouncent marie etat" "Madame?" "Mes compliments" "Le certificate du marriage" "Mes felicitations,the book of family" "Thank you" "Sam,congratulations,I'm so happy" "(Mumbling) Good for you" "Good luck" "Thank you" "What are these 12 spaces for?" "Our children's names" "I'll be with you in a minute" "Let me tell you about this cloister" "What did you think you were doing on your knees?" "Praying" "How did you make out?" "Nothing happened.No burning bushes, no voices,no miracles,nothing" "Just a pain in my knees" "I was praying you would give me 2000 $ as a wedding present do you think my prayer would be answered?" "I don't know.No one got in touch with me yet" "What's the matter?" "I'm very happy" "Hotel Invalide" "Will you get me MacWade's room,please" "Hello,MacWade,hang on a second" "Darling,go downstairs and pay the bill at the desk,will you?" "I love you baby" "You made the most beautiful bride in the world" "Hello MacWade" "I was just to go to telephone you,Mr Conride" "Look I have to change my plans,I'm leaving Tunis" "All I want you to do is this, get in touch with Hawkley tell him not to send any money I'll bring the painting to him in Brussels" "That's what I was going to call you about, I have a cable around here from Mr Hawkley" "I received it this morning.Here" "It says,widespread investigation" "Widespread investigation has made sale to my client impossible deal off,notify Conride" "Excuse me a moment,there is someone at the door,don't go away now" "Just a moment Mr" "Operator,I want Hotel International,please" "Could I speak to Aramescu please" "When did he check out?" "Did he leave a forwarding address?" "Hotel Tramanto,Taormina, Sicily,thanks" "There is not much room" "We won't need much room" "It is only one night to Sicily and I do not take up much space" "Where will you sleep?" "May I come in?" "My dear,I wish you every happiness it's my sincere desire that everyone gets what he wants" "Bon voyage" "Get into something comfortable" "Thanks for the flowers" "It was nothing,dear boy" "That's what I thought" "Btw don't get off the ship at Palermo,stay in your cabin for people who are just married this will not seem so strange" "Well,keep her busy,my boy,painting I mean" "If this deal with Hawkley works out I'll make you an equal partner" "Have a pleasant honey moon" "With what?" "With your bride of course,what else?" "Nobody got in touch with you yet?" "Oh,your prayer.Here.You see." "I am casting bread upon the waters" "Make it another slice" "Tell him.Tell him what you told me" "The painting I examined was genuine" "He's an expert.He tested it" "Well I am not that stupid" "Please,Charles,I have a violent headache" "Knowing Sam he made a deal to sell Hawkley the original painting and then suggested we make imitations for two reasons" "First,to make us believe the original was burnt and second whilst selling the fakes he could sell the original and keep the money for himself" "Not bad,hey" "Hawkley is out,knowing Sam he will not go to Rome but to his next customer" "Darling I'm sorry I kept you waiting" "Sam" "That's right.I stole it" "We shan't be going to Rome after all" "Taormina is better for us" "The church that owned Benetti is in Taormina" "That's right" "And we go there to return the painting?" "No.To sell it" "Why don't you say something?" "All right.I'm a thief" "Say something" "Nothing like a wedding night to get acquainted with your husband isn't it?" "Sometimes people take pains because they cannot help it" "Thank you" "That's not my reason." "And let's not blame it on environment either" "I wasn't born in the slums,my father didn't beat me and I don't hate my mother" "In fact,I can't think of a single reason why you should forgive me,or even want to" "I'm only trying to understand" "You lied to me,all right, but Felix is your friend you told him the painting was burned" "Why?" "Oh,him.That's something else again" "The golden rule,baby you know, do undo others and what he did to me,he's got it coming" "What did they do?" "We had an equal partnership,you know" "I took all the risks and he got all the money until now" "That's between him and me" "As for us.." "Do you want some good advice,Anna?" "Walk away from me now before you get hurt any more" "You want me to go away?" "No" "And you expect me to?" "Yes" "Always you think bad of people" "I do not go.I stay" "Why?" "Because I love you" "You really do,don't you?" "Hello" "You just met me?" "Of course,I think so" "Mr Aramescu,please" "Who is calling?" "Conride.Sam Conride" "Mr Aramescu is not in his room" "Do you know where he might be?" "Yesterday he goes to Mopere when he comes back,who can say, tonight perhaps tomorrow" "You wish to leave a message?" "No" "Tell him that Sam Conride is here, I'm staying at the hotel Nazionale" "I would tell him" "Thank you" "Well,he is here" "Don't be so cryptic Charles" "Conride is here,he was asking for Mr Aramescu" "What are we waiting for?" "We know he had the painting" "Yes,dear boy,but the question is where, where does he have it?" "What are we supposed to do?" "Wait until he sells it?" "Exactly.We wait.Aramescu comes back." "Anton waits for him" "You wait for Sam" "When Aramescu and Sam get together one with the money,the other with the painting" "That's what we make our entrance" "Until then we wait" "Vanity,vanity,you think that mighty glands would be easier" "I agree it is a terrible thing,a crime not only against the church but against these people,who regards this place as a shrine" "Scuzate me,prego" "With your permission,Signora Conride, I am detective Massiro" "Police" "Non me niente fare di polizia" "Speak English,please,no need to alarm anyone about the painting" "You arrived yesterday in Palermo" "You shopped,you buy things but you do not go to church" "You arrive today in Taormina many fine shops here,places of interest, ancient ruins to visit but,no, you come first to church" "This church" "Either you are very religious or very guilty" "You have nothing to say to me?" "Your husband is a person we know all these things" "You are saying this policeman is bluffing if he could prove my husband is a thief, he would arrest him,I see,raggione" "But most important is the return of the painting" "What can I do you say?" "A woman is more sensible in these matters as she does not want to see her husband in prison" "And that what he will be if the painting is not returned" "You ask what if it is returned?" "What terms?" "What will happen to my husband?" "Very good question" "I guarantee it will go much easier with him" "Who knows?" "Perhaps even freedom" "You have other questions?" "No?" "Good.Shall we go to get the painting?" "The day after tomorrow,Sunday evening, can I give my answer then?" "Why not now?" "Time will not buy his freedom,Signora," "Before you leave Sicily, I will have that painting or your husband will be in prison" "There is no third way" "Va bene?" "Until Sunday then?" "Arrivedere" "Hi" "Hello" "Where have you been?" "All around looking.It is very beautiful here" "And you?" "Around looking" "You know I owe you an apology" "These sketches are good.I guess I really never looked at them before" "I guess I never looked at you before,either" "Like some wine?" "Darling" "That imitation of Benetti was meant to,remember?" "I told you to forget it" "How are you going to make it look old,like a real Benetti?" "Why?" "A wife should know her husband's business" "No?" "No" "Tell me,please" "After it is finished,comes the vanish" "Then one must make tiny cracks in the paint" "But how?" "First" "Second" "and third" "For our British customers this is the ancient greek theatre built in 358 BC" "There is Monte Etna" "Is Mr Aramescu back yet?" "Yes Sir,I believe he is in his room" "Never mind,thank you" "Yes" "What are you doing,sleeping?" "No" "Hotel Tramanto please.Baby take a walk for about an hour" "Something is wrong" "No,no,just business" "Sam" "Hello?" "Mr Aramescu,please" "Can we go right from here?" "Maybe" "Tonight?" "I will see" "Go on.Run along baby" "Hello,Mr Aramescu" "This is Sam Conride.Can you come over right away?" "Yes" "You got the cash?" "You got the painting?" "Of course,if you got the cash" "Of course" "Room 206 please" "Yes.Good" "Stay with him.I'll join you and tell Charles to forget about Mrs Conride" "Business my dear" "Where is the painting?" "Where is it?" "Where is it?" "Where is Charles?" "I don't know" "You look on the roof,I'll wait in the lobby" "And put that weapon away" "How do you know?" "I have three extra senses, caution,suspicion and distrust" "What kept you away for so long?" "The police" "Detective Massiro" "That's why I went away" "He is the one who found the painting when it was stolen before" "This is a very important moment in my life" "Mine too" "They say it is supposed to heal people" "Fix,cure and other things" "You tried to cheat me again" "Do you think I'm blind?" "Do you think I would be deceived by this cheap imitation?" "Where is the inscription?" "The latin inscription from the Pope to the church" "Look.Look at it.Is that Benetti's work?" "It was burned after all" "No it wasn't" "Yes it was,it was" "Shut up" "All these years, only found a fake" "You think me a fool?" "You don't understand.How can you?" "To you the painting means only money to me possessing it is the exact ecstatic moment of love" "To possess something no one else can have" "Wait at your hotel,I'll get the painting, the real one" "What about them?" "They'll follow you,but knowing Felix,they won't touch you" "But I can't go out" "Go out there" "Sam" "Here" "Turn on the light,Anna" "No,please I do not feel well" "Friend of your's phoned" "Detective Massiro" "Mrs Conride has business with me he said" "What business?" "You made a deal with him didn't you?" "Didn't you?" "Yes and no" "What did he promise you?" "Part of the reward?" "Sam,please" "Oh,excuse me,I forgot,you are an artist,gentle" "What else did you have to turn over beside the painting, me too?" "No,if I give him the painting you are free" "He will let us alone" "Where is it?" "The painting?" "Where is it?" "He was going to arrest you,that's why I finished the imitation" "That's why I took the Benetti to.." "Where is it?" "Where did you put it?" "I asked you where.." "What happened?" "Charles?" "He also wants to know, where is the painting?" "I do not tell" "There is much pain,but I do not tell" "Did you know why?" "No.Because you believe in nothing.Not in me,or us or even yourself" "You do not change.I do not change." "The Benetti is under the table" "Anna" "You told me.You said for me to go" "You are right.Now I go" "Wait a minute" "You have what you want" "Anna" "Hello" "Operator,tell Mr Aramescu, tell him I call him back" "Good Morning" "Mrs Conride asked me to call her on this morning" "Not in" "I'm detective Massiro" "Yes" "May I sit down?" "No" "My purpose of coming here" "Doesn't interest me" "I have the authority to arrest you,Mr Conride,now" "We must respect authority,mustn't we?" "About the painting" "What painting?" "I gave my word to Mrs Conride to do nothing until Sunday" "Today is Sunday" "Today ends tonight at eight o'clock" "I will come back then" "Sure you will" "You will be waiting for me?" "Yes?" "Eight o'clock.I won't make a move without you" "Come in" "Hello,Sam" "Dear,boy" "What kept you so long?" "Remarkable,isn't he remarkable?" "I won't keep you a minute, help yourselves to a drink" "Shall we discuss business?" "Why need discuss?" "We've got the painting,we got the customer" "Delightful.Doesn't give us much time though,does it?" "Plenty of time to discuss a few details" "Yes,I think we all like to apologize for the unfortunate incident concerning Mrs Conride especially Charles,isn't that right Charles?" "Charles?" "Yes" "Btw how is our dear little Anna?" "I'll tell you what,I forget that I want to kill you,if you forget Charles's impulsive act" "Shall we see the painting and get started,might miss our customer?" "There is plenty of time" "You are a clever man,Felix, tell me something?" "Anything,dear boy,anything" "Why did Anna take that beating?" "Knowing Charles I don't suppose he had not much choice to you" "She could have told you were the painting was,why didn't she ?" "Money,is a as good reason as any,the best" "Wasn't her reason" "Was it a bad beating?" "You know Charles" "She probably loved you" "Yes,I am certain that what it was" "My experiences is that you can never trust people who are in love especially women,extremely unpredictable,very impractical,very" "She might have been killed" "And she knew it" "And it made not a difference to her" "Dear boy,the world is as we know is populated with all sorts of lunatics now take the ancient christians,they were ready to be eaten by lions and were there are only two kinds of people, the impractical and the practical" "and you cannot do business with the impractical the best thing to do is to stay away from them" "They confuse faith and ethics with business" "Have you got a faith,Felix?" "Certainly.My faith is that nothing is worth believing in my faith is faithlessness,and so is yours" "We give that up,what are we going to live by?" "Man has to believe in something even if it is nothing" "Let it ring" "First the painting please" "Remarkable" "I'll wrap it for you" "Hold this please" "Get him out of here" "Anton" "Well,Sam" "You'd better hurry" "Yes,that's right,not much time" "About your share" "I'll get it,don't worry" "Bye" "Operator,this is Mr Conride is there a detective Massiro waiting for me at the desk?" "Yes,Sir" "Just one moment please,teniente?" "Hello,detective Massiro?" "This is Conride.About that painting I was on my way down with it when three men came in there was a fight" "And they took the way the painting from me,the painting is wrapped in newspaper" "I managed to hit one of the men and his nose ought to bleed" "Just a moment please" "Mr Conride" "You received my telegram" "Yes" "Good.I was afraid you wouldn't come.Let me see it?" "Quickly man,the bus" "What is it?" "The money,yes I have it" "Yes,yes in cash" "And the painting?" "In there?" "Quickly man,the bus" "Do you ever do something for anybody, I mean without getting paid for it?" "Once I had such impulse, but I managed to overcome it after all why should I be a hypocrite" "Mr Aramescu,forget about the painting,I never had it,not really" "You are giving it back" "My friend,the world is not what it used to be" "Avanti" "It is very beautiful,but ours was inscribed by pope Nicholas V" "No,it is not our painting" "You see,you think I would steal from a church,my eye would.." "Quiet you" "If you will excuse me please" "I'm sorry" "Padre" "Si,dite?" "Qual cosa te dire" "You are British?" "You were here in the war?" "No,not here,Sir" "How may I help you?" "I am not of your faith,Father" "How may I help you?" "If something was stolen from your church, something valuable and the thief returned it" "Yes" "Someone else was involved,someone who is of your faith,someone,you see" "It wasn't her fault,Father," "Will she be punished?" "It is not our duty to punish" "What moves the thief to repent?" "What brings you her,son?" "Il quadro,nuestra quadro" "Faccia fare il campane" "Who returned it Father?" "I did not see him" "But you heard him?" "Did he speak English?" "Never question nor miracle" "But Father?" "Do you object now Father to put someone to watch the painting?" "But somebody does watch the painting" "Yes,Father" "Conride" "Mr Conride,don't come back here again,please" "Good Night" "It's no use.I'm afraid we lost him" "And he had such a wonderfully crooked soul" "Subtitles by Seglora"
