"Don't you ever go for a stroll?" "Sorry, I had to drive my wife to the station." "Marguerite?" "Where's she going?" " To Nevers." "An uncle who's dying..." "An inheritance?" " The poor guy's just a postman!" "Ready?" "Keep going!" "We'll do the chorus again tomorrow." "Ready in the gondola?" " Ready!" "You're walking in the water!" "This is the bridge!" "Go towards the wharf!" " The wharf?" " There!" "Let's go!"

"Lucky guy, 8 days alone!" "I wanted to send Louise to her parents." "I told her: "The country air will do you good... no way!" "No, no, no, no!" "What are you holding?" "An oar or a coal shovel?" "Who, me?" " You're paddling a canal, not shoveling cow shit!" "Shoveling cow shit!" "On a gondola it's not a paddle, it's a scull!" "Paddle, scull, who cares?" "Hold it like this!" "I don't have anything to hold!" "Give me a paddle!" "No one cares whether it's a paddle or a scull..." "I need to see if you can look like a gondolier!" "What a package!" "A little crazy, you could say, but designed by Le Corbusier!" "I don't need imagination, I need a gondola!" "Where's the gondola?" " It'll be ready tomorrow!" "Fine!" "Then I'll sing tomorrow!" "Goodbye!" "If I ever find an intelligent tenor, I'll bottle his blood!" "All in position!" "Bertrand, read your lines!" "Keep it moving!" "Music!" "Don't tell me you and her..." " So?" "She doesn't seem like a..." " Like what?" "She's a good girl!" "She sometimes gets people to supplement her finances trustworthy people." " And what do you tell Louise?" "Easy!" "Louise makes envelopes for me..." "One for rent, one for household, one for petrol...and I add one for me." "What do you write on it?" " Engine repairs!" "You got a break tonight..." "Go and visit her!" "Me?" "You crazy?" " I would if I could..." "Call her... here's her number!" "Tell her a pal sent you." "I've never deceived Marguerite!" "But you're doing it for her!" "You'll love her more!" "Love is like chewing-gum, it loses its taste after a while..." "You need to freshen it up..." "If Louise knew how you repair your engine..." "Shhh!" "God forbid!" "Take it!" "Her name is Eva." "Take it!" "No, I have work to to do at home." " What an idiot!" "Keep things neat!" "Hugs!" "And finally, listen to "Butterfly Love" by Van Parys..." "Hello, Miss Eva?" " Yes, who is this?" "I'm a friend of a friend and in the end, that friend said to send..." "I know:" "The melancholy, looking for a soul mate..." "That's to say..." "No, I'm alone, and so..." "Want to come and see me?" " You're busy, I wouldn't want to..." "When do you want to come?" " Perhaps it's a bit late now..." "Not at all... come over..." "I'm waiting for you." "It's in Montmartre..." "35 Rue St Vincent." "Second floor...first door on the left." "There's no concierge." "Well, too bad, I've been thinking..." ""35 Rue St Vincent..." "there's no concierge"." "Funeral home" "Come on... nice doggy!" "Lulu!" "Lulu, come here now!" "Sorry...she thinks she's a watchdog..." "Were you coming to see me?" " Oh, no!" "I'm all alone..." "come in and have a drink!" "No thanks..." "you're very kind." "Oh, good evening Eva." "My little treasure said nasty things to your friends again." "Friends of Eva's are friends of ours..." "I'm the one who called you." "You could have gone in..." "the door was open." "I was at the post office." "You know that man?" " Mr. Raphaël?" "He's nobody." "A piece of garbage!" " Really?" "You're wife won't know a thing!" " But I'm not sure..." "Only married men get so worried." "Make yourself at home." "You're the clarinettist?" " You recognize me?" "I saw you with Emile." " Emile?" " The oboist!" "Oh yes, Emile..." "He's spoken of you." "What do you know!" " Yes..." "I've never seen you..." "my place is back stage." "In ten years, I've never seen the show!" "But I'm wasting your time with all this chit-chat." "It's never wasted with a man like you..." "Oh yes?" " And presents are nice..." "Oh yes..." "You smoke?" " Thanks." "Are they Gauloises?" " No, dream sticks!" "You don't get these at the tobacconist!" "A little music?" " Yes, a little..." "You have a nice place here!" "That's me!" " Well, well..." "A friend of mine painted it." "That day, I had the blues." "Want a drink?" " I never drink." "It'll buck you up!" "I'll go and get comfortable." "OK?" " OK... but hurry back!" "I'll be back in a minute."

" I thought you were sleeping." "Sleeping?" "I haven't closed my eyes!" "Fish?" " Fish?" "Yes, the smell can stay with you for ages." "Don't worry, I know what I need to do."

"Mr Bertrand!" " Yes?" "What is it?" " You have bags under your eyes!" "I'm tired cause I've been busy." " Busy with someone named Eva!" "Did you see this?" "It's Eva!" "But this scene needs Rosemarie as well as Giaccomo!" "She's cut..." " Cut?" " Yes, the scene's too long!" "But I'm the author!" " And authors talk too much!" "That's what you think!"

"Yes you do... the tall redhead with eyes like this..." "Acted a little crazy..." " Oh... that one!" " Yes." "She was well built!" "She didn't take strangers." " There's Nelly!"

""The fingerprints on the dagger show the murderer..."" ""has large hands and must be quite tall."" ""These conclusions were confirmed by a neighbor..."" ""Miss Trabot, 29, no profession"." "No profession?" "Well...in Montmartre we know what that means!" ""Miss Trabot was jostled by an individual..."" ""wearing a grey raincoat." "He was leaving the scene of the crime,"" ""and who fled after stunning her."" "Stunned?" "If she was stunned, she'd be in a coma." ""We asked Miss Trabot if she would recognize her wild aggressor."" ""She replied: 'You don't forget the face of a murderer.' "" "Gosh, all the same..." "How would she recognize him?" "He must have had a hat on and it was dark..." "Maybe there was a streetlamp beside the house..." "Perhaps..." "They have questioned another witness, Mr. Raphaël... who lives on the floor below." "What does he say?" " Nothing...he saw nothing." "These witnesses are all the same...blind!" "Have you decided?" "What are you having this evening?" "A little fish?" "A pepper steak!" "Well done, or rare?" " More than rare, raw!" "Omelet for me..." " And a carafe of Beaujolais." "Let me take your coat..." "It was getting cool..." "I took a winter overcoat." "May I?" " Yes." ""A murderer's face"..." "Everybody has one!" "With your pointy nose, you have the face of a murderer!" "I don't know what you did, but I won't be mixed up in it." "If Louise learns about Eva, there'll be hell to pay at home." "You gave me her address..." "you were a regular." "Not so loud!" "What did you do with the card?" "Which card?" " The card I put in your pocket... with her phone number." "I changed my suit, it needed stitching." " My god, where's the jacket?" "At home, there's no danger of someone finding it." "Good." "If I'm asked, I know nothing..." "I've never been there." "I don't know where she lives, I've never spoken to her, OK?" "OK?" " That's OK, yes." " Good." "After you..." "Why didn't he say anything?" " Who?" "The guy downstairs...the fat one." " If he hasn't seen anything..." "Guess so..." "The fat one..?" "How'd you know he was fat?" "The omelet and the extra-rare steak!" "It's still bleeding..." "Did the guy on the first floor see you?" " I wasn't there!" "Look at me..." "What do I have?" " A murderer's face!" "# When I met you for the first time #" "# Remember... remember #" "# It was one summer's evening #" "THURSDAY" ""Re-pot the geraniums, take the curtains for cleaning"" "A murderer's face?" "..." "That's it!" "Just a bit of touch-up and it's finished!" "Someone was looking for you yesterday... a big bearded guy." "Big bearded guy?" " I sent him to the theatre." "You did?" " Wasn't that OK?" "Yes." " You never know!" " Yes." "Big bearded guy..." "Good morning, Mr. Constantin." "Lulu, quiet!" "She thinks she's at home." " What do you want with me?" "Apart from congratulating you..." "I adored that piece..." "Your solo in the first act... a delight!" "And that song: "When I met you..."" " There's the man!" "Come inside here!" "You found him!" " Yes, yes." " Come on." "Who told you who I was?" " I'm nosey." "What do you want with me?" " To see you up close." "That was a good romp, eh?" " What?" "That poor girl Eva was very popular..." "was she expensive?" "I don't know what you're getting at..." "She didn't want anything to do with me." "Even for money!" "She had to like the face." "But you're not exactly pretty!" "Well, you could say I'm..." "No, of course...only..." "I just like to know the "why" of things." "In regards to which..." "why that way...?" "It was the work of an amateur." "Not very neat!" "Strangling's the usual choice..." "especially with big hands." "I could never hurt a fly!" "When my wife kills a chicken, I look the other way!" "When my wife kills a chicken, I look the other way!" "You don't quite fit the perfect killer." "You see, my Lulu, it's not him...it's the other one." "The other?" "What other?" "Our Miss Eva had a boyfriend." "An affair of the heart..." "They'd been arguing lately." "He came downstairs 15 minutes after you." "I didn't see him go up." " Didn't see him go up?" "So he must have been in the apartment while I was..." "That's him!" "You know him?" "Not exactly..." " Jesus, Mary, I'm saved... thank you!" "Come to the police with me!" " Take it easy... take it easy..." "The police are looking for the man in the raincoat... and that's you!" "You'll be locked up!" "Won't that make your wife happy..." "Marguerite!" "This nice place must be worth 4 million!" "It's not mine." "And the furniture?" " Not paid off yet." "You know... with rent, taxes, gas, electricity... by the end of the month we're living on noodles." "Too bad... we were counting on you." "Weren't we, Lulu?" "Let's go see the young man..." " What young man?" "The murderer!" "He's got money." "If it's enough, he'll help me a little." "Otherwise, make an effort!" "I've seen you going downstairs in the raincoat!" "I'll tell that to the police." " No!" "You are nice, but I have responsibilities..." "Come to my place this afternoon." " Your place!" "Don't be crazy!" "But we need to meet again." "Wait... at the cafe behind the theatre at 6 PM... after rehearsal." " OK." "It's nice at your place..." "I'm glad I came!" "I was looking for you..." "it's all finished!" " 'Bye." " I've got dirty hands." " No matter." "It's a sunny day." "On the other hand, it might rain." "The winds will be light to zero." "A low over Ireland creating an influx of air, may bring wind to the north and north east, or south and south east." "The temperature will be slightly higher... unless a depression causes cooling." "Then the temperature would drop!" "This was the National Weather Bulletin." "Sir!" "You dropped this!" "Thank you, madam, sorry." "Thank you, sister." " You're welcome, sir." "Does Mr O'Brien live here?" " O'Brien ?" "The art dealer." " I want to speak to Maurice..." "Maurice Langlois." "I was told he worked here." " Service entry: back street." "Me not supplier, no, friend... you, American?" "Is this Mr O'Brien's residence?" "..." ""The house"?" "Ah, Mr. Maurice..." ""Mister Maurice"..." "Piano!" "Sit down and wait!" "Careful, no pee-pee!"

"Notify Karl by code:" "next delivery by the lake!" "I'll go and see what this guy wants." "You want to see me?" " See you, no... but I know you!" " In a manner of speaking." " You know me?" "Oh..."

"Mr O'Brien is counting his bars." "No, don't start!" " Who wanted to see you?" " A man named Raphaël... 35 Rue St Vincent." "A funny guy, that Mr. Raphael..." "He claims the man in the raincoat didn't kill Eva." "He has his own ideas about the murderer." "And you... no ideas?" "You didn't like Eva very much." "She loved you too much!" " We didn't see each other any more." "Except every day last week!" "And who told you that?" " Her... she phoned me." "She wanted you to herself..." "she was furious." "Put yourself in her place!" "I'd leave you or she'd tell O'Brien about you and me." "Of course..." "No more marriage..." "No opera, no minks, no Cadillac!" "And for you, nothing in the bank." " So you went to see her." "Just to tell her what I think." " Between friends... quite natural." "I ring... no answer." "I turn the knob..." "I go in..." "It's usually locked." " She arrived with a guy in a raincoat." "Funny face, sadistic kind." "A real murderer's face." "And you jumped at the chance." " He looked the part." " Aha!" "The trouble is a half-hour later, I arrive." "I find the girl, nice work." "I thought of you, your kindness..." "Why'd you go there?" " To talk." "This Mr. Raphaël hasn't seen you, but he saw me coming down." "He thinks I killed her, and he wants a million to keep quiet." "Greedy!" "Have him wait until after the marriage." "He wants the million tonight!" " I don't have a sou!" "What a pity!" "Doesn't bother you?" " Me?" "If Raphaël is impatient, the police arrest me, question me..." "You know how hard it is for me to hide the truth..." "Especially when I'm pressured." "The scumbag goes!" "Rather, that is to say..." "Stop thief!" "Stop thief!" "Sir, I saw him steal your package!" "There wasn't any package!" " Stop him!" "Stop him!" "Stop him!" "Stop him!" "He stole this package from that man's car!" "Which one?" " Over there." "Come along..." " Let me go!" "We'll check it out." " It's not me!" "We'll see..." " Let me go!" "You're hurting me!" "Is this your package?" " No, it's not mine!" "So whose is it?" " It's not his!" " Is it yours?" "Yes!" " No!" "He took it!" "Where from?" " From this man's car." "Is this your car?" " Yes, it's mine." "And the package too?" " He told you no!" "OK, what's in this package?" "My cousin gave me some clothes for the laundry..." "I forgot." "You forgot?" " Yes, it's not usual." "You forgot...?" "Do you have your papers?" " My papers?" " Yes." " My logbook." " Driving licence?" " Driving license." "Constantin Albert." " Albert Constantin." "From Le Vésinet?" " Yes." " Musician ?" " Yes." "Thank you." " You making a complaint?" "No..."

"You should be thanking me!" "Yes..." "I'm sorry, madame..." "excuse me... thanks so much." "8, 9, 10... there!" "A million, as Mr. Bob said." " Thank you!" "Will you forgive me for not telling you why?" "I could tell you the truth, but..." "The truth is, no doubt, a lovely lie." "Hurry up, let's not keep the Minister waiting." "Thank you." "Sam, I am cuckold... eh?" "Bob... am I a cuckold?" "I've had my doubts..." "but this little punk is getting greedy." "Bob, find me a new piano player." "We're going to ship this gigolo off to South America!" "For the piano, get an old spinster... ugly." "With a moustache... a big moustache!" "Easier to change your woman than the pianist." "There are more of them." "Do you like wine, Bob?" "But you know it's made with rotten grapes." "I won't lose Florence because of this ivory tickler." "Get a new one!" "Bring him on board the yacht." "I'll see him tonight or tomorrow." "And get my cash back!" "It's unhealthy for a youngster to think that money falls from trees like that." "OK, boss!" "Nuts!" "..." "Rosemarie!" "I've been looking for you for three days!" "What are you doing there?" " Not so loud..." "They watch me." "The walls have ears." "Come closer, but beware!" "What are you doing?" " I'm coming up in my gondola!" "The quay comes up to there!" "You can't sail on the footpath, get back!" "The sets are coming... when?" " Let's get going." "The walls have ears." "Come closer, but beware!" "That's enough. sweetie..." "She doesn't like domestics!" "A pink martini and a bottle of Vittel for Lulu." "But not too cold, it bothers her teeth." "A pink martini and a bottle of Vittel... iced!" "I'll show you domestics!" "That'll do for the climax..." "we have four minutes of extra time!" "Hey 'Jack the Ripper'..." "what about your dirty deed?" "What's going on?" " Some mongrel said I knew Eva." "And...?" " I swore I didn't on my children's' heads!" "You're involved!" " They don't know." "He wants to see me again." "If he knows all about me," "I tell him everything." "I won't take the rap for you." "No time for jokes!" "Level with me: were you there?" " In a manner of speaking... yes." "And you killed her!" "Emile, we've been friends for 10 years." " What were you doing with her?" "It's you who sent me there." "Marguerite goes to the station and you go to anybody!" "A hooker, a stranger, a nut-case, a junkie!" "You told me it was an opportunity." " An opportunity!" "I was feeling low..." "I fried myself an egg..." "Why did you go to her place?" " You're irritating me now!" "Where were you?" " Me?" " Yes." "You gave me the address." "You know where she lives." "You went there before me." "Why did you hide at her place?" "What were you doing there?" "Me?" "I never went!" " The crime happened while I was there." "You were hidden in the bathroom." "She found you and...!" "Albert, you've known me for 10 years!" "You tell the police that you gave me the address... and I'll tell them you were hidden in the bathroom!" "I wasn't me!" " You swear?" "On the head of Louise!" "And you?" " On the head of Marguerite." "So who is it?" " There's a guy who saw the murderer." "I said room temperature!" "He's seeing me and he wants money." "Don't like the idea of going." "You have to get us out of this mess..." "Meet with him!" "Make him give you the guy's name...understood!" "?" "Make him?" " Make him!" "You grab the murderer and take him to the police!" "I grab him?" " And you take him to the cops!" "They'll ask what I was doing there." "Then the newspapers..." "Marguerite will hear about it!" " No, no, no!" "If they have the murderer, they won't care about the rest!" "Then the mess is over..." "we're in the clear!" "You're right, I'm going there." "What about the money?" " What money?" "No money, no name!" " Give him some!" "How do I get through the month?" " What do you do with your money?" "What about the envelope?" ""Engine repairs"?" "Empty!" " You're disgusting!" "We're done for!" " If you're pushed... take action!" "What can I do?" " Make him tell you the bastard's name!" "How...?" " To save yourself... there's nothing you wouldn't do?" "Nothing!" " Good, wait...!" "Take this!" "It's an illegal weapon!" " Just threaten him and he'll talk." "I might get hurt!" " No, no, put the safety catch on." "Now what?" "Make a frightening face and he'll talk!" "Don't worry... he'll talk." "I've dreamed about going backstage." "What a fun place!" "That was from "The Trumpet of the Berezina"." "Give it to me!" "The murderer's name... quick!" "But... but..." "what do you have over there?" "No, don't touch!" "Talk or I shoot!" "My poor Mr. Constantin, if you kill me, who will tell you the murderer's name?" "And the crime will be yours for sure!" "That's right." " You can't think of everything." "Oh, I recognise that!" "It's for the Sioux in "Around the World in 80 Days"!" "Back to childhood..." " You've seen the murderer?" "I saw him." "That young man is very understanding." "He's bringing me a little present..." "Lulu!" "I have an appointment with him in a quiet place." "Oh, I have to go!" "Lulu... where are you?" "I could take you in the car!" "That's a good idea..." "especially since you're armed." "That could be useful!" "Show me!" "It's real!" "The young man is charming, but you can't be too careful." "Hurry up, my show starts at 8:15!" "Lulu, Lulu, Lulu..." "Lulu!" "It's a chicken in a box!" "Let's go and see the nice man." "He'll pay you and you'll leave him to me!" "Gladly...we'll see what happens later." "Your wife won't learn the circumstances under which we met." "You can give me a small monthly allowance..." "Your cigarette money." "Do you smoke a lot?" "Here he comes." " Get going!" "Here's the nice young man." " The murderer?" "Wait for me here." "Unforeseen complications." "Going for a walk?" "The boss wants to hear some music." "I've done my 8 hours." "He can turn on the radio." "The boss thinks you're pale." "He's offering you a cruise." "Are they going to beat him up?" "Oh my, I hope he can swim." "Oh my!" " We're not alone!" " Scram!" "What are they doing?" "You OK...?" "Oh!" "Oh my!" "Your second corpse!" " What?" "Help me here!" " What are you doing?" "Corpses should be left alone... they're a big bother..." "And you've already got one to worry about!" "There!" "That's one thing taken care of!" "They have the murderer." "Let's catch them!" "They'd be too far away." " I'm done for!" "Not yet..." "I know the kidnappers." " Really... so...?" "I'll give it some thought." "I'll sleep on it." "God, it's 8 o'clock!" "If I'm not in my place, I'll lose my job!" "Don't you want me to come along?" "FRIDAY" "Hello?" "Yes, it's me... yes, it's me!" "A telegram..." "I'm listening..." ""Uncle Charles recovered." "Arrive tonight at 8.12 PM."" ""Will see you at the theatre." "Love." "Marguerite."" "Oh dear... no, not you!" "Thanks." "This evening, 8:12 PM..." "This time... this is it!" "Is Mr. Constantin in?" " I haven't seen him go out." "Was it you who called?" " Certainly!" "His radio was blaring half the night!" "Half the night?" " 'Til one in the morning!" "It's not his fault." " So I'm wrong?" "His wife's away." "He's gone out without turning it off." "No excuse... he'll get a fine." "Look, there he goes!" " No matter, he'll get it just the same!" "Oh, what a nice little boy!" "The cops found me." "My wife returns tonight." "We must find the murderer before 8:12 PM!" "You have fire insurance, right?" " Yes." " How much?" "Two million." " Wonderful!" "We'll start a fire and split it!" "I'll be kind and take only 50%." "Tell me where the murderer is or I'll kill you!" "Go play somewhere else!" " She's cute!" "Get lost!" " He's nasty, isn't her?" "Put that away before somebody gets hurt." "Yesterday evening, someone snatched our murderer from us." "Why?" "That is the question." "Who kidnapped him?" "That is the other question." "And your second corpse..." "What corpse?" " That you threw in the Seine." "It's the young man who..." " Just try to prove it, eh?" "That corpse was working for an art dealer... who keeps a very beautiful lady." "This young lady, in turn, keeps a small young man..." "And this small young man is your murderer." "You follow?" "Good." "But the pretty lady lives with the art dealer." "I'll go right over there and put two questions to her." "She's aware of what my conversation costs... and I'm fixed for life!" "Where are you going?" "To the kidnappers?" "I'll go with you!" "You're stubborn and a bad payer." "But you can drive me." "The kidnappers!" " The dealer." "They'll lead you to the killer." "You stay with me!" " The lady should be alone now." "I'm going!" " No!" "This young man no longer interests me." "Come to my place at 7 PM." "I'll have something new and you too perhaps." "Don't forget the insurance, and the man in the raincoat." "See you at 7!" "Good day...it's me, the crazy one!" "I hope you're not too worried." "It's Florence who should be concerned." " Here's the money." "It was on top of a cupboard." "Sorry, but the singing lessons were becoming a bit too expensive." "And now..." "Tonight Sam will give you an airline ticket for Buenos Aires." "There's a great demand for artists like you down there... to tap on the piano." "They prefer the guitar..." "and me, I prefer Paris." "I understand." "Me too." "But the air here has become unhealthy for you." "After the sudden death of my dear Bob, the police may be interested in you." "And even more on certain crates of art that you receive, Mr. O'Brien." "Make our friend comfortable." "I'll make you an offer." "I need a lot of bricks to build a house." "With ten bricks, I'll disappear into thin air... and leave you Florence, her charms and her golden voice." " Ten million... that's expensive." "But Florence is worth more than that, hmm?" "OK." "Sam will bring the money tomorrow." "For now, stay here." "You'll be safe here!" "Come on, Sam!" "That boy needs a travelling outfit, nicely fitting." "Sure boss, I have everything we need." "One made of cement, very stiff and very heavy... a raincoat for the Seine." "Sam will come along to help you." "Come!" "They're going to kill you!" " What?" "They're going to kill you..." "and sink you in cement!" "Come on!" " Are you crazy?" "With you in the Seine, what will become of me?" "Oh dear... don't hurt him!" "I still need him!" "Come on!" "I'll be late for my rehearsal." "Where's that?" "I just saved your life, so do me a favor." "Come on!" "Where to?" " Some nice people." "Come on!" "Is this your car?" " You're just in time!" "Your papers!" " Arrest him!" "Arrest him!" "He's the Rue St. Vincent murderer!" "Hey!" "Where are you going?" "Hey!" "Oh dear!" "Where did you come from?" "Hello!" "It's me...the drowned one!" " Maurice!" "My guardian angel saved me." "Up you go!" "Off to the cash box!" "What do you want?" " The 10 bricks!" "And for interest:" "Everything else in the box." "I just killed a cop..." "I'm in good form this morning!" "You'll never be more than an ignorant little thug." "I've been waiting for you for an hour." "With Florence back you wanted to get rid of me, eh?" "I was in your way." "I leave you to your love affairs." "Maurice." " You make a lovely couple:" "A swindler and a killer." "May I present the killer of Eva!" "Eva?" " The little singer at Rue St Vincent." "The young miss who wanted to block your marriage." "Florence..." "You did that for me?" "See for yourself..." "You know I did it for you... you know!" "Come on." "Mr. Maurice, it's ridiculous, but I'm sentimental." "I'm keeping Florence." "I don't love her but I'm keeping her." "If you take her, you won't get far." "If you touch Maurice, I'll tell the cops all about you!" "If I lose you, my dear, nobody will get you." "Don't forget Eva!" "Pardon my interrupting this charming family scenario... but I may be of use to you." "Who are you?" " Mr. Raphaël." "We're all good people..." "Pardon." "The solution to your problems is..." "The Man in the Raincoat!" "The Man in the Raincoat?" " That's who the police are looking for." "What man in a raincoat?" " Your guardian angel!" "The police are looking for him for the murder of poor Miss Eva." "We'll give them the others too!" " What others?" "The other corpses..." "instead of blaming them on you!" "It was his gun?" " Yes." "He helped you this morning?" " Yes." "Good!" "Imagine they find the man in the raincoat at the crime scene..." "Imagine he is in no condition to say anything!" "His revolver lies by his side..." "what would the police think?" "That the man in the raincoat was a suicide... remorse... despair." "But where will we find this person?" " I'll bring him." "You just have to fix the..." "suicide... understand?" "And Miss Florence will be white as snow." "And Mr. Maurice will have nothing to be blamed for." "And you three can go back to loving each other in peace." "That's worth an extra tip!" "That's enough!" " For the moment." "So... the man in the raincoat this evening at 7 PM... will be at 35 Rue St Vincent," "2nd floor, first door on the left." "Mr. Maurice knows it well." "I'll wait for you downstairs in front of the building." "This evening, 7 PM, 35 Rue St Vincent." "Goodbye." "Come on Lulu!" "Hello, my treasure!" "Don't worry, I know the way out." "My respects, miss." "Hello?" "Yes?" "Who?" "Sam!" "Yes, Sam!" "Maurice escaped!" "Be careful." "Don't worry... he's here!" "Maurice!" "You'll take care of the man in the raincoat, eh?" "Yes, I know!" "I'll take care of it." "Fine." "How did it happen?" "Yes." "Yes." "Wait a moment..." "Maurice, while you're there..." "Take care of Mr. Raphaël, he knows too much." "And get back the money!" " Agreed!" "What do we do about him?" " You marry him and I disappear." "One of these days..." "he has an accident!" "You'll make a beautiful rich widow." " Scumbag!" "Maurice must be eliminated tonight." "He'll be at 35 Rue St Vincent... 2nd floor, first door on the left." "I've ordered him to get rid of two individuals." "Get there a few minutes after 7 PM." "His work will be finished and you can finish him." "Understood?" " OK, boss." "With Mr. Raphaël, the police will have one body too many!" "So much the better!" "The more there are..." "the less they'll understand." "Sam, I'll wait for you in the car on the corner of the Rue des Soles." "And make sure you don't mess up this time!" "Mr. Raphaël!" "The murderer!" "Help!" "The murderer!" "Help!" "The murderer!" "Help!" "Stop screaming!" " Help!" " Stop screaming!" "Help!" "The murderer!" "Help!" "Help!" "I'm not a murderer!" "I have four dead bodies on my hands!" "Help!" " I'm a very gentle person!" "He's here!" "Help!" " I don't want to hurt you!" "I didn't hurt you, did I?" "It's not my style." "You OK now?" "Not too cold?" "Wait..." "Wait..." "I just have to see a friend, then I'll come back and free you." "But... promise not to scream any more!" "Be right back." "I see you got Eva's stuff..." "You scared me with the coat." "Mr. Raphaël..." "Mr. Raphaël!" "Mr. Raphaël..." "Don't play jokes like this, Mr. Raphaël!" "He's killed someone and he'll kill me too!" "Quickly!" "Here he is!" " What have you done?" "I called the police!" " The police!" "The real murderer is dead." "Mr. Raphaël is dead." "There's no one left to tell the truth!" "I'm no killer." "I'm a musician..." "the clarinet." "I've never hurt anyone!" "Why is it that wherever I go, corpses fall on me?" "My poor Marguerite..." "what will she think of me?" "You're a funny sort of tough guy!" "There's Maurice!" "No... it's Sam." "Don't be nervous." "I told you not to come." "Sam... what's he doing here?" "I found only one corpse, the bearded one." "And Maurice?" " What about Maurice?" "Just fine." "He's dead." "Maurice is dead?" " The little thug... would have taken you for a ride." "I've freed you from him." "The cops are not here yet..." "get going!" "Blow!" "I'll tell them you didn't wait... that you were small and swarthy with a big moustache." " Yes." "You're very kind." " Off you go!" "My scarf!" "Thanks." "My hat...there..." "The art dealer's there!" " Who?" "There they are!" " Escape through the window!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Oh dear!" "Take your hands off me, you animals!" "Hands off!" "He killed them!" "He killed them all!" "Ask her who killed a certain girl named Eva!" "Get the dog out of here." "Take them all in!" "Was it you who called?" " Yes, it was me." "You had a lucky escape." "Another one here?" " He threatened me, so I killed him." " Good!" "It's true he has a killer's face!" "You don't have any others, miss?" " Me?" "No, Mr. Inspector." "You've been very brave!" "Ahh, you've got to keep warm!" "We've nabbed the whole gang, thanks to you!" "I'll see you tomorrow in the police court." "Good night." "It's all over... they've gone." "You'll see your geraniums again." " Ah, yes!" "Here!" "Have a drink." "It'll buck you up." "You look like a poor wet dog." "A nice face!" "What are you doing tonight?" " Tonight?" "I'm free." " Oh dear!" "Oh dear!" "Oh dear!" "No!" "No!" "So, the fat guy?" " He's dead." "And the murderer?" " He's dead." "Seven dead!" "What happened?" " Nothing... absolutely nothing!" "Anyway... your wife!"
