"Good for you." "What's your name?" "Manda, Georges." "Never heard of him." "Why would you?" "He's a carpenter." "That's enough, Jo." " You can see it isn't." "Then let's get started." "Just what do you want?" "Marie." "You selling?" "It depends." "Maybe the man's rich." "A carpenter?" "Even if I had money..." "I get it." "You'd rather fight to save money." "Maybe." "Let's start." "Search him, Guillaume." "Get inside." "Raymond and Guillaume, stay." "You too, Jockey." "Go sit inside with them." "You came out like chumps." "People will notice." "And shut the door." " That what you're looking for?" " Got any others?" "What would I do with them?" "Doesn't he get searched, too?" "Don't bother." "Do you mind?" "Got a third one, maybe?" " I wouldn't use it." " Really!" "Hold my watch while you're at it." "With pleasure." "You'II fight with this." "You, stand there." "And you, over there." "Back up." "Back up, I said." "Farther." "Step over to this side."

"Hey, you!" "Come here!" "Sergeant, there's a stiff here." "He's done for, all right." "Take him inside." "Boss, we'd Iike to pay and leave." "I'm very sorry, folks." "AII of this is beyond my control." "But we want to leave." "Excuse me, but did you people see anything?" "What could we have noticed?" "Did you witness a brawl?" "An argument?" "No, why?" "We just found a body." "Here it comes." "It's your dance partner!" "What?" "So sorry, ladies." "What a rumpus." "And the carpenter?" "He's okay." "Where is he?" "On his way home." "And tomorrow?" "He'II clear out." "Over here." "What?" "Someone ratted on us." "Thanks for the tip." "You know who it was?" "I'II tell you tomorrow." "Go on." "Scram!" "Move along!" "Run, I said!" "Marie!"

"At my age, you get to know what's what." "This is swell." "I'm staying here." "Give me your stick." "Kiss me, Manda." "Hurry on home." "My husband and I will come by tomorrow." "Thanks, Madam Gabriel." "I won't forget your kindness." "Hurry on home." " I won't forget this." " Don't mention it." "She's poor Anatole's grandma." "What happened to him?" "He's dead." "Dead?" "They found him with his head crushed." "Under some scaffolding." "It fell on him." " Where?" " Nearby." "Today, on his way to work." "You saw the accident?" "No one saw it." "No one was around."

"You give, too." "What for?" "For Anatole's grandma." " So, it's done?" " And how." "In that case..." "I found Marie." "And Manda." "No one's listening." " Go on." " They're together." " I know, but where?" "Sorry." "They're in Joinville at Ma Eugene's." "Okay." "Now beat it." "Fredo." "Here." "Hello, my pet." " Watch it!" " What?" "Queen, jack and master spade." "Will that do?" "If I were you, I'd watch her." "Raymond isn't pleased." "Let's go, Paulo." "I'm hungry." " Come eat with us?" " No thanks, I'm staying." "You coming or not?" "Coming!" "See you later." "Felix, you got a minute?" "Yes, but make it quick." "Quick." "I'm meeting my cop." "Listen, Felix..." "You want Marie, right?" "Why ask me that?" "You'II never get her if you hurt Manda." "Mind your own business." "Hands off Manda." "You two are such buddies?" "Yep, and old friends." "I didn't know." "I can count on Manda." "That's pretty rare." "You don't say." "It's no laughing matter." "Poor jerk." "I don't care about your Manda." "glad to hear it." "Scram, here's my cop." "Hello, my friend." "Nice weather, isn't it?" "We're being spoiled this season."

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention." "We can take a walk later, if you're free." "I'm at your disposal." "It's not Sunday." "Must be a funeral." "Come in." "Let's go." "It's a wedding." "Let's watch." "Do it for me." " Oh, all right." "Shall we go?" "Do you love me, Manda?" "Let's go." "See that?" " It's Felix." " Sure enough." "He's waving to us." "He seems in a good mood." "That's funny." "What's he doing here?" "We'II find out." "Visiting the priest?" "When's the wedding?" "That'd give you a shock." "No, why should it?" "Everyone's got a right to marry." "Right, Fredo?" "I didn't know you Iike to fish." "Did you catch a Iot?" "Just some small fry." "We mainly came out for the air." "It's a nice little spot here." "You staying a while?" "Maybe." "We don't know." "Why?" "If you Iike it here, make the most of it." "We have to be getting back." "Be seeing you." "Enjoy yourselves." "By the way..." "No, I was talking to Manda." "You can go back to town." "The danger's past." "Why's that?" "They arrested someone else." "Who?" "Raymond." "I forgot, he's your buddy." "When was this?" "Yesterday." "Don't worry, he won't talk." "Well, so long." "My day's done." "I'm turning in." "Good night, all." "Come to bed, Manda." "Stop thinking about it." "Think about me." "I always think about you." "Where's Manda?" "He left an hour ago." "And you didn't wake me." "You're crazy!" "How was I supposed to know?" "He went to get the newspaper." "Yes, over there." "And then he came back." " And?" "He left the newspaper on the table for you." "I forgot, he gave me 1 00 francs." "For you." ""Raymond 'The Baker' stupidly continues to deny his guilt," ""despite overwhelming evidence." ""He was in possession of objects belonging to the victim:" ""a gold watch with his initials," ""and an elegant switchblade knife" ""with an ivory handle and coat of arms bearing his initials."" "So, what do we do?" "We can't leave Raymond locked up because of this Manda!" "Right, Guillaume?" "They could learn other things." "Next thing you know, we're all in hot water." "Not at all." "Anyway, one thing's certain." "They'II never suspect it was Manda on their own." "So what?" "Raymond certainly isn't going to squeal." "But you will, maybe?" "Why not?" "No, sir." "That isn't done." "Not among us." "But Manda isn't one of us." "How do you know?" "Not a carpenter." "So?" "I think he's a regular guy." "He won't risk the guillotine." "What do you know?" "Go see who it is." "Is Felix in?" "You want to see him?" "He's upstairs." "If it isn't Marie!" "Come in." "Come in." "You alone?" "What's up?" "Cat got your tongue?" "Manda turned himself in." "We have to talk, Felix." "We'II be going." "It'II all work out." "It's not Iike you to cry, Marie." "Only you can help me." "Be glad to." "But it's up to you." "What do you say?" "Captain." "Nothing in particular?"

"Yes, sir." "Let me see." "Bring him in." "Are these the facts?" "Sign it." "Here." "Hello, Raymond." "What are you doing here?" "Take him away." "Let's go." "Stand over there." ""Your Leca was badly misinformed!"" "Captain!" "Feel free!" "Getting the killer doesn't mean you're free." "Recognize these?" "Accessory to murder, fella." "You'II explain it to the judge." "It's out of our hands now." "You look surprised." "And how!" "It's in the paper." "They're taking him to La Santé prison." "Today or tomorrow." "Look." "Isn't it time to act?" " Want us to attack the paddywagon?" " Why not?" "In broad daylight?" "Sorry, madam." "Not even for your pretty face." "You're a real louse!" "You're a louse!" "You hear me?"

" Shut up." "Move it." "Here are the goods." "You have their things, sergeant?" " So long." " Go on." "Where are you going?" " To give them this." " You can't!" " It's cake and cigarettes." " They can't smoke." "Hold on!" "The cake, at Ieast." "You can keep the cigarettes." "Give me the cake." "What is this?" "C'mon!" "Get in!" "Here are their things." "See his girl?" "I wouldn't mind her." "If you can afford her." "What was that?" "If you can afford her." "Jo!" "I hear you." "Listen." "It's Leca who turned me in." "I found out this morning."

"Go get a doctor." "So long, Raymond." " Call Leca." " He's not here." " Get him." " I'm alone." "Where do you think you are?" "I told you he's not here." "He's gone." "What?" "I want to see Inspector Giuliani." " He's not in." " What's it about?" "Arrest him!" "Don't you recognize him?" "Here we are." "Keep the change." " Can we go up?" " Payment in advance." "I figured as much." "I can't leave you the lamp." "It's the best view of the boulevard." "You can leave when it's over." "I'm going back to bed." "You shouldn't, Marie." "Go, if you want." "No way!"
