"You show us round and we lose no time, okay?" "I need it." "You'll get it, baby." "Get a move on." "I'll start without you." "This'll stop them messing us about." "I need it." "It's coming!" "Just cool it!" "Get a move on, Coyotte." "For Christ's sake!" "Fuck it!" "Fuck it!" "The light!" "Are you guys nuts?" "What are you shits after, apart from trouble?" "Is that your old man, Coyotte?" "Antoine?" "Dad." "It's not you?" "We need a fix." "Going to shoot your baby boy?" "Asshole!" "Asshole!" "Kill him!" "Is that it?" "Come on!" "My name's Rico." "My name's Rico!"

"I've seen more intelligent bananas." "Give him a break." "Why don't you invite your friend?" "Who?" "You made a friend in a store, a blond, didn't you?" "Last week?" "Yes, but I don't know if she's a friend yet." "This is your chance to find out." "If it doesn't work, Léon will peel her bananas." "We get on well, huh?" "We've been together six months now." "Marie, how come you never bring people here?" "No relatives, no friends." "Nobody." "Because I love only you." "There you go." "No!" "Tell him I hate his guts." "Hello?" "Joséphine?" "Yes."

"I have to go now, Marie." "Good luck for the next." "Bob?" "Yes?" "I'd like you over for dinner." "I'd be delighted." "Bob?" "Uncle Bob?" "Come in." "She's in the bathroom." "Let me help you." "You shouldn't have, for the flowers." "Champagne was a good idea." "Sorry." "I'm really pleased to meet you." "It's..." "I haven't met her family before." "The others aren't worth it." "I'll put it in the fridge before it gets cold." "Delicious." "Really." "Wonderful, fine, light..." "Stop." "I'll never be able to match that." "One last compliment, okay?" "I haven't seen her for a while." "She's..." "She's radiant." "I'm sure that's thanks to you as well." "My charm's really deceptive." "It's not immediate." "It can take 10 or 15 years." "Tell me, what was she like when she was little?" "No, Marco." "When she was 8 or so." "Marco, you promised!" "It's him I'm asking, Marie, not you." "See?" "I can't even ask questions." "Do I ask you things?" "No, but I wish you would." "I love you all the same." "See?" "She's a brick wall." "So people say." "Marie!" "At 8, she was so pretty." "She had golden hair in a pigtail." "There was a cousin called Caroline." "Only Caroline could touch her pigtail." "No one else." "She wore a ribbon, and always had white dresses." "I only saw her when the family rented a farm in the summer." "Between the cousins and neighbors, there were 20 kids, always causing trouble together." "Marie had her specialty." "She imitated frogs." "She'd squat by the pond and jump into the mud, going, "Croak, croak." That cracked the other kids up." "She'd come back, soaked to the skin, but always with the same excuse:" ""I slipped," she'd say, in her quiet little voice." "That's just like her!" "Has she told you what I do?" "No." "See, I can't ask her questions." "I work in a travel agency." "I'm one of the partners." "Two tickets to Venice." "An engagement present." "I don't know what to say." "Don't say anything." "Mahogany?" "I feel rough." "Mind the step." "This way!" "Oh, no, not the gondola, Marie!" "Not the gondola, not the gondola." "I want you." "Me, too." "I'm thirsty." "Me, too." "I'm hungry." "Me, too." "Copycat!" "Undo my skirt!" "Right away." "It's undone." "No, take it off." "Take it off!" "Here, hold this." "We'd like some San Daniele ham, a portion of cheese and two bottles of water." "We get thirsty after sex." "She's crazy." "What did he say?" "He has the same problem." "It's all okay, then?" "Don't move." "Joséphine?" "Joséphine?" "Yes." "The bathroom cabinet has a secret compartment." "Fine, make that a green salad, then." "Thank you." "They're out of ham." "Call the management." "I want a bath." "Relax and wait for room service." "Joséphine, in position." "The first items are under the sink." "Assembly completed." "Open the window." "There's no fucking handle!" "I don't care!" "Sweetheart?" "Yes?" "Know what I'm thinking about?" "No." "That day at the store." "Your beauty." "I thought, "Life's a bitch." ""I'll never have a girl like that" ""to share my life with." ""Never."" "I can't believe I'm saying this." "The white boat on the canal with a driver in a blue shirt." "To the left, there are two people outside a door." "Take aim on them and get ready." "We're awaiting orders." "Yes." "Can we talk?" "Okay, but stay there." "Marie..." "I know questions piss you off." "I don't know what's up, what shit you've been through to put you in that state." "But I've got an imagination, okay?" "And I imagine the worst." "The worst would be a relief." "Who is it?" "Room service." "Coming." "Hello, sir." "Beautiful day, isn't it?" "Weren't you out of ham?" "Sorry?" "Okay, it's no big deal." "How many targets?" "One but double." "What's he like?" "I haven't been informed yet." "My name's Roberto." "If you want to call me..." "Yeah, Harry Vederchi." "Target visible in 10 seconds." "Which one of them is it?" "I haven't the data yet." "The target, damn it!" "The woman." "The woman in brown." "For Christ's sake, the woman!" "The fucking woman!" "What's up?" "Why don't you respond?" "You promised not to come in." "I know, but I heard a noise..." "I spent 15 minutes at the door." "You could have replied!" "You didn't hear me, huh?" "Fine." "This'll keep you going." "Miss?" "Hot chocolate." "Cake." "Interested in my vacation?" "I know you and your sadistic games." "You're sick, Bob." "I need to tell you that." "Your job's a sewer for you." "I'm happy to see you." "I miss the time when I had you to myself every day." "An ambassador, leaving in five months." "Get him before he goes." "It's your mission." "Choose your team." "You've got five months." "The boss wants a clean, smooth job." "I thought of you." "Always on two jobs at once, huh?" "It's to show I love you." "What a welcome!" "I'll try again." "There, that's much better." "From now on, no more "Mr. Cashier." I resigned." "Exactly." "To make boats?" "You bet!" "Champagne!" "It's taken care of." "Who taught you to smile?" "You did." "I think we should move." "I thought something bigger might suit you better." "He's seeing his mistress there." "You're in for a two-hour wait." "Got a light?" "See you later." "Sorry, I got held up." "Maximilien Jedreck, posted in Paris 7 years ago." "He's keeping data in the embassy safe, waiting until he goes home." "Classic." "What sort of data is it?" "All sorts: computing, electronics, mechanics..." "Who's the girl?" "Anne-Marie." "Been together for two years." "She's an art dealer." "Seems safe enough." "We're not interested in him." "We're after the companies selling the data, and to get them, we need proof." "The proof's in the embassy safe?" "Yeah, and the keys are in his pocket." "So we know where to look." "Relations are strained." "Go easy and don't hurt him." "Try to work magic, not havoc." "Sweetheart?" "Sweetheart?" "Shit, you scared me!" "How do you smell so good in a hospital?" "That's my secret." "Tell me about these three months of night work." "Tonight's the last." "Damn paintings!" "I'm to look after you." "Marie-Hélène, how do you do?" "How do you do?" "I won't be long." "That'll take some selling." "Who's it by?" "A guy who was a pain in the neck even before I carried his stuff." "What'll you drink?" "Whiskey." "So you work with Anne-Marie?" "Sometimes." "Dad's gallery's near hers." "In the same street?" "Yes, a bit further up." "A bit further up, a bit further up." "Ah, I see." "Thank you." "After the Finnish gallery." "No, further up." "Your elbow!" "Glug-glug." "Lie down." "It's time to sleep." "Christian, it's just a housewife coming up." "Okay, message received." "Joséphine?" "Yes." "The ambassador uses a code with his guards." "Yeah, but we got it." "They changed it." "Surveillance just told me." "So we drop everything?" "Hold on, I'll find out." "No, mission maintained." "What do you mean?" "I mean we're sending you a cleaner." "It's my mission, for six months..." "Shut it!" "Orders are orders!" "Mission maintained with maximum priority." "Fuck your goddamn cleaner!" "Shall we get out?" "No, we wait and talk to him." "Maurice?" "Maurice, who's coming up?" "It's okay." "It's okay!" "Calm down!" "Calm down!" "Okay!" "I'll go." "Victor, the cleaner." "Bathroom?" "Over there." "Bring that one, too." "And the driver?" "In the trunk." "Go on then, talk to him." "Drop it, okay?" "Maybe you've a better idea?" "Victor, we've got to talk first." "After." "What are you doing?" "Cleaning up your shit." "Fuck, he's not dead!" "You're out of your mind!" "Hold him down, asshole!" "I've had it!" "Come and help me." "Here, here!" "I've had it!" "Shut your mouth." "Calm down." "Help me." "You go to the embassy!" "Here are the keys!" "Cut it out, asshole!" "Yeah, I'll cut it out!" "Stop it!" "Victor..." "I'd better call for orders, huh?" "Victor!" "No, no, Victor!" "I don't stop missions in progress." "You'll make no calls." "We're going to finish this or I'll burn your face off, okay?" "I'd better come." "No, you'd better not." "Stay here." "Give me an hour." "And just calm down." "Calm down." "See you in an hour." "You said an hour." "Time to clean up." "No!" "You're not cleaning anything, Victor." "We'll just go for a little drive." "Okay?" "The mission's not over." "Please, Victor." "I can't take any more of this." "Please, let's go!" "Who's that?" "I don't know." "Sir?" "What's happening, sir?" "Oh, shit!" "Let's get out of here!" "They're ready." "Nothing's wrong." "False alert." "Calm down." "They've shut the gate." "We can't get out." "We'll call back." "Stop!" "A quick drive and we'll call back." "Please stop!" "Move over." "Look at me, Marie." "My poor love." "They'll wear you out." "The job's too tough for you." "Look at your tiny hands." "They need protecting." "They mustn't get old." "Stop before it's too late." "Why do you say that?" "I know everything, Marie." "There never has been a Marie Clément at your hospital." "I also know about" "the stakeouts, the tailings, the video cassettes." "Why didn't you say so?" "Because I love only you." "Thank you." "My little Marco." "You're the most beautiful person I ever met." "The only one who helped me, too." "Are you going away?" "Got a little place for me?" "You're better in a big place." "I love you." "Mathieu!" "I'll go up first." "I'll call if there's trouble." "Come to shoot me?" "No." "Don't you think she's paid her dues?" "Hasn't she the right to live?" "Her life's been ruined." "I know all that." "But she ruined a life a few years ago." "A policeman's." "Those are heavy dues." "She killed for you, too." "It only counts when it suits you." "Okay, Marco, you know what it's all about now." "I'm listening." "What do you want me to do?" "Protect her." "I'll try, but she's in danger, Marco." "She took the embassy documents." "She's out of danger, then." "I've got the documents." "She left you a note, but I tore it up." "What did it say?" "We'll miss her, huh?"
