"You see, my dear Suzanne?" "We got away with it again." "Who did that?" "Me, boss." "On Purpose?" "Of course." "I looked forward to it all day." "I prepared it all: the soap, the mop... it just needed you." "Solitary!" "Get him out of here!" "Out of my sight!" "And you only just got out!" "You must be crazy!" "Yoo-hoo!" "There he is." "Yoo-hoo!" "Yoo-hoo, dammit!" "Why is there no yoo-hoo?" "How can it be?" "I followed my map to the centimeter." "MEETING PLACE" "Yes!" "That's it!" "Oh, my word..." "must be firedamp." "Excuse me, sir, isn't this cell 34?" "No." "This is 108." "34 is next door." "Oh?" "Sorry!" "I don't bloody believe it." "Back inside!" "Are you free, driver?" "I have been for 5 minutes." "Thanks to you, mate." "Stop it, fool!" "Lower the blind." "Lower the blind!" "Pull the blind up!" "You're a wretch!" "A yokel!" "Not worth a dime!" "Next time I won't miss!" "You villain!" "You murderer!" "What is this relationship?" "Tell me his name!" " Go to hell!" " Just you wait!" "My life's been hell since you came back from America!" "When you're married, you can cheat on your husband." "Not your brother." "Especially when his name's Freddy Scannapieco." "Leave me alone!" "Sofia!" "Here, take this..." "I swore on our parents' deathbed I would keep you pure." "Why d'you think I never took you to America?" "You are pure." "You still have that most treasured of possessions." "Yes!" "Blinding headaches!" "I mean your virginity!" "My virginity?" "The first man who comes along can have my virginity." "For free!" "Who's that?" "None of your business!" "Go to your room, now!" "You lousy good-for-nothing!" "You stupid fool!" "This way." "Signor Scannapieco awaits." " Are the others here?" " Waiting by the pool." "After you..." "Give me my flask and my croissants." "I'm in a rush this morning." "See you tomorrow." "Awake, sir!" "Come in!" "Breakfast..." "Sleep well?" "With a clear conscience." " Have some croissants." " Thank you." "You get a mention in the newspaper." "There it is." "Listen: "Strange escape from Poissy." ""Last night, Arthur Lespinasse" ""escaped after digging a tunnel."" "The Brain." "They'll never catch him!" "Keep your hair on!" "Didn't get you far!" ""What could have driven this second-class hood..."" " sorry!" "" ""...to evade his captors now, four days before his release?"" "What's all this?" "Are you mad?" "Making me take risks just before your release!" "Every night spent digging!" "And every day removing." "Exactly." "Removals are my business." "Have you gone mad?" "No!" "It was for an immediate job." "A fabulous job!" "We know your "fabulous jobs"!" " Fifty-fifty, Anatole." " No!" "All my schemes work, don't they?" "Remember Indochina." " Did I ever drop you in it?" " Yes!" "OK." "But we got out, or we wouldn't be here." "That was rather thanks to me." "Be careful!" "Shut it, Granny!" "Thug!" "I'll find a taxi." "Then you're on your own!" "Will you launder the money, Scannapieco?" " The job's in 3 days." " OK." "Same percentage as last time." "No, not quite." "10% seems rather excessive." "This time, the best I can do is 5%." " What!" "?" "5%?" "I doubt the Mafia will appreciate these last-minute demands." "Listen to m..." "Bruno!" "Coming, boss." "Listen to me..." "It's the 2nd time you work for us." "Take care it's not the last." "And you won't tell us a thing about the job!" "Don't you trust Sig." "Scannapieco?" "Totally." "You'll know neither the place, nor the time, nor the target." "But you'll be the only ones to know that the sum will amount to around 5 million pounds sterling." "In cash!" "8 billion." "A tidy sum!" "But not easy to launder." "I can tell you the sum will be in 14 different currencies." "That should make things easier." "You're sure no one's in on this?" "Absolutely certain." "I do the heist, you launder the money." "I take all the risks." "So the commission is reduced by 5%." "5%?" "!" "That makes... $750,000." "You're putting me on!" "The Mafia won't weigh in for peanuts!" "Make it 8% and we might be interested." "6.5%, or I take it elsewhere." "7%, or I fly to New York tonight!" "Deal!" "6.5%." "Get her out of here, Pascalino." "Yes, Father." "Holy mother and father!" "The shame!" "You're soiling the Scannapiecos' honour!" "Your wife?" "No, my little sister." "But she's gorgeous!" "Look out!" "Come on, Anatole." "Don't sulk." "Here... eat this." "No!" "You know NATO?" "No." "Who's that?" "It's here." "So what?" "So NATO is moving." "A removal!" "Yes." "A train from Paris to Brussels, filled with typewriters and desks and..." "And what?" "And what?" "Something only I know about." "In a special car, watched over by a NATO colonel, the secret funds of fourteen nations!" "You can't go attacking fourteen nations!" "I'd never offer you the job if France were still in NATO." "Of course." "That changes everything." "Look over there!" " The Colonel's car." " So what?" "We mustn't let him out of our sight." "He's the only way to find out the date and time of the transfer." "Then what'll you do?" " Guess." " I don't know." "The mail train job." "Like the Brain's job in England 5 years ago." "I studied every last detail in prison." "All we do is copy it!" "Easy to say." "There were 25 of them." " You're alone." " There are 2 of us." "No, you're on your own, mate." "Stay here." "I've an idea." "Look, they're British." "He must be Col. Matthews, the guy sent over at the last minute to supervise the transfer." " Who is he?" " A train specialist." "Come on." " What are you...?" " Hide yourself!" "Hey, I want to go!" "Quiet, Anatole!" "Down!" "There's a good boy." "You've a big dog." "He's a pest!" "Your car is in a real state." "Maybe my taxi could help you out for a few days." "Show you Paris, the cabarets, the ladies..." "No, thank you." "Don't touch, he bites." "That's enough!" " Thanks." " Keep the change." "I'm fed up." "To the teeth!" "He's our man!" "He didn't see you." "Tail him." "I won't be party to your schemes." "Wear this, you'll look like an American tourist." "Go!" "I don't believe it." "Take me home." "I don't feel at ease here." "My home?" "What, now?" "You don't know my brother." "He'd kill you if he caught us." "He might at least wait till we've done something wrong!" "Yes, let's!" "It's the aerial!" "Wait... sir!" "Do what I'm doing." "Look!" "There." "It's easy!" "Wait..." "Just take off your jacket." "Look..." "I'm fine as I am!" "Leave me alone!" "No more than you!" "Manage on your own." "Unpleasant chap!" " Well?" " I saw it all." "But heard nothing." "That's enough!" "Let's go home." "Come on!" "I'm sick of being a photographer." "There's not even a film in it!" "Follow that yellow car, there..." "Didn't you hear the gentleman?" "Go!" "Fast." "Faster!" "Take a left!" "Hear that?" "He said "sinister"." "It means turn left, fool!" "Oh!" "My father was a general in the India Corps." " I entered the army at 18." " Poor thing!" " Come on, we'll lose them!" " I'm doing it on purpose." "He must be the jealous husband." "Terrific!" "A crime of passion!" "You must know the sad fate of the British Empire, Sofia." "I arrived too late." "The last war provided a certain entertainment, derailing and blowing up trains all over Europe." "But postwar was such a bore." "If he takes her home," "I'll kill them both!" "What's he want?" "To kill them both:" ""Ammazzo tutte due"..." "" Tutti e due!"" "Grazie !" "So one fine day," "I awoke and decided to become "the Brain"." "Talk to me of love." "If he kills the Colonel, we've had it." " So I'm right." "We'd best lose them." " No." "If we lose him, we've had it anyway." "We have to find out where he lives." "We'll find all the information we need at his pad." "I'll be waiting in my garret on the 5th." "I'll pack and be right back." "Wonderful. 'Till then..." "Follow the girl!" "No, stop." "I shall alight here!" "Thanks for the ride." "Hey, I'm coming with you." "Bye!" "No, you drive the gentleman." "Ciao, boys." "Sofia!" "You're an irresponsible idiot!" "I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget in a hurry!" "Go to hell, you lame-brained hick!" "Faster!" "Imbecile!" "Why have you stopped?" "I'm no dumber than you!" "I can't run a red light!" "It's not red, it's green!" "Oh, you're right." "It is Verde." "Mind the step!" "Hey, check out this guy!" "Miss!" "Don't be afraid." "He's gone." "Where is he?" "I left him in a hole, temporarily." "Get in!" "No, in front." "The hole's still there." "Quick!" "Suzanne... watch the film." "What is my plan to snatch NATO's millions?" "We can't re-stage the Glasgow-London train robbery." " Can we, gentlemen?" " No." "Course not." "Absurd." "Yet that's just what we'll do." "For all the fools will react like you." "No one would imagine that the Brain would dare reattempt his feat." "I've told you a hundred times, no animals in my bed!" "Poor Pompon!" "Such a good cat." "Poor Pompon's going outside." "Go and check out the girls." "Lucky sod!" "Come on..." "Out from under my feet, Pompon." "Now, my friends, the freight car with the money." "Here it is." "Inside, we have... fourteen lovely bags." "1!" "2!" "3!" "4!" "5!" "6!" "7!" "plus... 7 equals 14." "Watched over by four guards, all armed to the teeth." "Lights, please." "Gentlemen, as you know, for the Glasgow-London job" "I took leave from the army." "This time, there's no need." "I've been given the job of protecting the money we're about to steal." "Now, car number 7, compartment 11 and I, Colonel Matthews." "Afterwards!" "Evidence of a struggle..." "I kidnap myself." "And here, gentlemen, you make your entrance dressed as firemen." "The only possible spot we can re-stage the mail train heist." "The same bridge, similar roads..." "At 20.32 hours: the attack." "20.33: under the coupling between the two cars, an explosive charge separates the car from the end of the train." "20.34: same explosion at the forward coupling." "20.35:" "armed guards neutralized using sleeping gas." "Will you stop following me?" "Go on, beat it." "On your bike, Pompon." "In conclusion, gentlemen, the special train containing NATO funds will leave tomorrow, July 16 from the Gare du Nord at 18.56 and follow this itinerary to Brussels." "Suzanne, behave!" "Leave my slippers alone!" "What's that?" "That bloody panther bitch!" "The cow!" "That's about as much as I can take!" "You naughty animal!" "Look what you did!" "You'll sleep in the laundry tonight!" "Hello?" "Is that the Englishman on the 6th?" "Yes." "I'm at the end of my rope." "What's going on?" "You can go to hell, sir." "You, your fat, ugly wife and your lousy cat!" "You know who I am?" "The fat lump I see on the stairs." "Look, André!" "It's raining in my home!" "It's raining?" "So it should be." "I'll come up there and thrash you, sir!" "Come on up, then." "You... wimp." "Coward!" "Loser!" "nincompoop!" "Nincompoop?" "Coward?" "I'll show him!" "Wait... you want to go to Daddy?" "Off you go." "It's OK, I'm expecting someone." "John, it's Sofia." "I'll get it." "That'll teach you to be polite!" "Thank you." "I'll never forget what you've done." "Oh, no..." "I just wanted to shake your hand." "Right, then." "Thank you." "Sorry, sir!" "See you tomorrow." " To the country!" " Now?" "Col. Matthews was briefing a dozen plain-clothes cops." "The money leaves tomorrow." "Here's the map." "Hurry!" "We've got to scout a place to hide the taxi." "Get on with it!" " I'm not going." " OK." "Drive on." " Go on!" " Hang on a minute..." "I'm starting to get sick of you." "Squad!" "Forward march!" "Squad, halt!" "The squad is under your command, sir." "Squad, dismiss and form a single line." "Canada." "Turkey" "United States" "Great Britain." "Belgium." "Italy." "You're breaking everything!" "Grease it, it'll rust." "Grease this?" "Stop it!" "See anything?" "No." "You?" "Me neither." "What are you greasing here?" "Nothing." "Greasing nothing." "Then keep moving!" "No, not that way." "This way." "And Norway." "First three in the armored car." "Six men in the rear car." "And six men in the front car." "This special train will leave at 18.56 for Brussels." "Please board the train and close the doors." "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7." "I'm counting on your vigilance, gentlemen." "I shall lock you in as I leave... and release you in Brussels." "Use of your key is expressly forbidden, except in cases of derailment or fire." "Should anything abnormal occur, an explosion or something similar," "pull the alarm." "It's set off." "It's on this side." "This side." "No, he's going to the right." "Are you sure?" "No, he's going left!" "You're right." "Yes, he's going left." "No, he's going right." "Just here..." "Here." "Damn!" "The train's coming here." "Here!" "To the left!" "Come on!" "Jump." "Jump, for God's sake." "Jump!" "Anatole, can you hear me?" "Is that you?" "Who else would it be?" "Settled in?" "No, I've not settled in." "I'm on the wheels." "This is no way to travel." "Do what I'm doing." "Unhook your ladder and lay it across the buffers." "And I'll tell you something, your plan's a piece of crap." "We'll never succeed." "Don't switch off!" "Damn it!" "He hung up." "Why can't I ever stand up to that guy?" "Excuse me." "Would you have the time?" "It's half past seven, miss." "Thank you." "Arthur!" "Yes?" "Do you see what I see?" "Yes." "Fourteen bags full of dough." "And four men-mountains guarding them." "How long do we wait before attacking?" "Less than an hour." "What do you reckon to the little Italian girl last night?" "I only saw her legs on the stairs." "In the taxi, I saw her head!" "Between us, she's not bad!" "Arthur!" "Can I chat, even if it wears the battery down?" "Of course, now we're sitting pretty for once." "And now, my own kidnapping." "20.31 hours." "The countdown, Anatole." "Yes!" "At zero, throw the stink bombs." "Are you sure they work?" "I tried them." "They're awful!" "Five..." "Four.." "Three..." "Two..." "One..." "Zero!" "There's a very curious smell in the carriage." "Smell?" "I can't smell anything." "You hear me?" "I'm going in!" "I don't wish to be rude, but this stinks!" "We arrive in ninety minutes." "We'll never last!" "This can't go on!" "The key..." "Anatole!" "Yes?" "This is it!" "Didn't you fall off?" "No, I blocked the door." "They can't close it now." "It won't close!" "Something's blocking the lock." "This isn't normal!" "20.32 and 40 seconds." "Unhook the car, Anatole!" "Well done, Anatole!" "I didn't do a thing." "It just went." "Wow!" "Hello!" "It's been cut." "Two explosions!" "I'll pull the alarm." "Is this yours?" "No, my little nephew's." " They're asleep!" " What luck!" "I told you we'd do it!" "Eight billion!" "Quite a bag!" "Now, John, you'll see why they call me the Brain." "All the bags are loaded." "I'm totally bushed." "We'll sleep later." "Hurry." "No time now." "The bags are loaded?" " Where?" "How?" "By whom?" " Darling!" " Sofia, you're here!" " Yes, my love." "You look gorgeous as a fire-fighter." "One minute, darling." "I don't get it." "I knew I was smart, but that smart...?" " The bags..." " Well I never!" " Where did you throw the bags?" " Here!" "From up there." "They should be here!" "No shit!" "What did you do with them?" "Hey, the firemen!" "The firemen!" "The firemen nicked the bags!" "Stop, thief!" "Shut up, and let's get them!" "The taxi!" "The best way to go unremarked is to be noticed." "OK, go ahead." "Alert: police roadblock!" "Holy Mother!" "How could they have been alerted so quickly?" " There's a fire ahead." " Get out." "Burst through the roadblock!" " Get out!" " Hands up!" "Get out!" "Hands UP!" "The cops!" "You have just had an accident." "Do not panic." "Remain calm and lie down." "Shit!" "My taxi's toast." "Hello?" "Who are you talking to, miss?" "You!" "Don't mind him, miss." "It's just Anatole." "...Fourteen." "That's the lot." "Operation completed." "The Sicilian guy!" "The Sicilian girl!" "Whore!" "Gangster!" "That hurt, boss." "You, in the car!" "Watch her, Bruno." "Yes, boss." "They're not real firemen." "Or cops." "Be quick!" "Line them up." "...Two, three, four..." "Well done!" "Look!" " He kidnapped Col. Matthews." " Who's the Italian?" ""You'll know neither the place, nor the time, nor the target."" "You think Frankie would let 8 billion fly away?" "Along with his pretty little sister?" "To think I liked you." "You're a bit too greedy, Colonel." "The old fart forgot one thing:" "Frankie Scannapieco has a brain too!" "And I think it's getting heavier by the second!" "Get in!" "The Sicilian is the Brain." "The real one, from London?" "Dead right!" "You've 2 hours to make Paris and stash the money in the piggy bank." "Go!" "He put the Colonel in a trunk." "He's putting our cash in a piggy bank." "Let's go, Bruno!" "Fake coppers, fake firemen, a fake roadblock..." " Arthur..." " Yes?" "Lucky you told me that no one else was on the job." "Tonight at midnight, at the ruined castle, a giant fireworks display and, as every year, a dance in the town square!" "That's your fault, fool!" "Sofia!" "Don't go." "Stay here!" "It's empty, boss!" "He can't be far." "He'll see us, idiot!" "Let's go." "Bruno..." "You go this way, I'll go that way." "General panic!" "I surrender." "Don't shoot!" "Bruno..." "Come on." "There he is." "That's him!" "Go and take him from behind." "Holy Madonna." "Enough!" "Yes?" "Now who'll be replacing the Brain in that nice little trunk?" "Me." "And who'll take me to the mysterious piggy bank where he's hidden my money?" "Not me!" "Not me!" "Me!" "I'm glad we didn't pull it off." "Imagine where we'd be this morning." "Being chased by every policeman in the world!" "How can it be these two blokes?" "We got the first guy's fingerprints." "He's just escaped from prison." "You shouldn't have told the press, Duboeuf." ""Arrest imminent"." "Huh!" "They'll be in Basie, Belgium or Bolivia by now." "Everyone says the Brain's British." "He's Italian, but only we know that." "Forget about all that, it's in the past." "Tomorrow you go to prison, apologize to the warden, and serve your last four days." "Hello?" "Inspector Pochet here." "Pochet!" "Duboeuf here." "I'll put him on." "Sir!" " Pochet's spotted them!" " Where?" " Not far away." " Send me the phone." "Hello?" "Is it them?" "You're sure?" "Then do exactly as I say." "Stay with them." "No, don't arrest them." "Make it easy for them." "If anyone blows the whistle, haul him in." " He doesn't get it." " Me neither." "Eight billion, Mazurel." "Eight billion stolen, and these idiots are our only lead." "Hurry, or we'll miss the bus!" "Look..." "WHICH OF THESE IS "THE BRAIN"?" " Want my opinion?" " Yes." "They reckon you're the Brain." "I'll give myself up to the police." "Definitely not." "What else can we do?" "We'll go to Le Havre, like we said." "We'll never make it." "Oh, you will." " You reckon?" " Sounds like it." "What do we do there?" "We've no papers, no money." "No matter." "You're sounding pretty positive this morning." "It's them." "Do we arrest them?" "Definitely not." "Clear the way for our arrival." "The fools caught the bus." "They'll get arrested!" "What a turkey!" "He didn't spot us." "Where could he have hidden the money?" "He mentioned a piggy bank." "But where?" "Maniacs!" "72 KD 75, boss." " Cutting in, no overtaking..." "KD...?" " 75." "I'll report him!" "The trunk!" "The Sicilian girl!" "The trunk!" "The Colonel!" "We must get him out!" "Only he can clear us." "Driver!" "Police!" "Follow that trunk!" "Police!" "Let me in!" "Faster." "Faster!" "Move it, you useless lumps, or get out and I'll drive!" "Honestly, boss!" "We've had it now." "We won't catch them." "Be a nice boy, Frankie, tell him where the money is." "No!" "He promised he'd do nothing if you tell him." "No!" "What does he say?" "He says no." "He'd better say yes at Le Havre!" "Hurry it UP!" " Why don't you do it yourself?" "!" " No snide remarks, now." " Incredible!" " Inspector, is the trunk so important?" "Read the papers." "Oh, we never read the papers, Inspector." "This is what we do with papers." "How silly!" "Slow, aren't they?" "You explain." "We'll give you the low-down." " There was a great holdup..." " They accused the wrong guys!" "Poor boys!" "That trunk contains proof of our innocence." " Theirs." " Of their innocence." " What proof?" " Colonel Matthews!" "You know who kidnapped him?" "The Brain." "Then I bet my bottom dollar we'll get your trunk!" "This is a one-way street." "We're with cops." "Let's live it up!" "Yes, but don't go too far!" "Jean-Frangois!" "How clumsy!" "Congratulations!" "Well done!" "It wasn't my fault." "He cut in!" "Come on, get out of here." "Or do you want a push?" "Right... driving license, insurance, tax and registration." " But officer..." " Can't you speak French?" " Listen here..." " No, I won't..." "Bravo!" "All that and all we get is a ticket." "Not just yet!" "What's got into you?" "Hang on!" "It's them!" "Catch them." " Well done!" " How could I know?" "There!" "Arthur!" "What's up?" " We were going together." " Come on." " Don't you like my coupé?" " Oh, hush!" "My brother!" "We can't leave him there." "Hey, the Colonel!" "Look!" "The piggy bank!" "The bloody piggy bank!" "Don't worry, Colonel, we'll get you out." "Oh!" "The Brain!" "Arthur, come quick!" "The police!" "We might all be arrested." "Go, Sofia." "I'll meet you in New York." "Go, quickly." "Quick, Colonel!" "He's in the trunk." "It's him!" "He's the Brain!" "Look at his head." "Me?" "No!" "He's Col. Matthews." "You wouldn't happen to be a policeman, would you?" "I'm not the Brain, inspector..." "Look out!" "Don't worry, brother-in-law." "I make sure my men escape." "Anatole!" "I found the money!" "That's Arthur." "Recognize him?" "Excuse me." "Do something, Anatole." "I can't hold on." "coming!" "He's fallen." "He must have hurt himself." " Is that yours?" " No." "Then it's mine." "New York's pretty good." "Right!" "I still don't see why you paid our fare, Colonel." "Know how much is in that train?" "Fifty million dollars, on its way to Fort Knox." "Tell me, do you have any plans while you're in America?"
