"Let's have a warm hand for our valedictorian Melissa Tyler!" "Ugh!" "And now Mrs. Grober will help me to hand out the awards to this year's graduating class of Edsel High 1991." "Yoo-hoo!" "Yoo-hoo!" "Smile." "Look in the camera." "Sir, this has been the best four years of my life." "Don't overwhelm yourself." "The best is yet to come." "Oh, no!" "I'm real sorry." "I don't know what to say, you know?" "Don't know what to say?" "I'll tell you what to say." ""I would like to have graduated high school, but I couldn't fit it into my dating and partying schedule,"" "or "I was too busy doing jack-shit instead of going to my French class!"" "Herb, take a pill." "Why didn't you tell us you were having trouble?" "We could have gotten you a tutor." "I hope you like pumping gas." "That's what I see in your future." "I see Brad just out of dental school, driving in his new oldsmobile..." " BMW, Dad." " And you're going to be checking his oil!" "Herb!" "Why don't I call Mrs. Grober about summer school?" " There is no summer school." " There has to be summer school." "Well, there's summer school, but Mrs. Grober's taking the French club to France, and the only way to make up credit is if I went..." "I'll be goddamned if you think I'm gonna send you to France for flunking high school?" "Mrs. Grober hates my guts." "I'm sorry." "I really let you down." "There goes college this fall." "Flunking high school's not the end of the world." "I'm calling Mrs. Grober, no matter how she feels." "Michael, son, potential failure, I love you to death, but I want to tell you something." "You have good intentions, but that's not enough." "Dad, is this the "no follow-through" speech?" "Right." "Now, you know what your main problem is?" " No." "What?" " No follow-through." "Michael, you've got to make things happen." "You can't go through life irresponsibly, and you can't depend on luck." "Mrs. Grober?" "Hello." "This is Marge Corben." "Be realistic, Monsieur Lafevre." "As Finance Minister of perhaps the most progressive nation in Europe, surely you must understand that your participation is imperative to this operation." "Anything to the contrary could be interpreted by the European community as a lack of good faith." "This is more than a matter of trust, Augustus." "France's gold must remain in France." "Well, I'm very sorry you feel that way." "Ah!" "He was followed!" "It's Blade." "Yaah!" "Aah!" "Look." "Zigesfeld is hurt." "Steranko." "Mr. Blade, I suggest you leave before you start an international incident." "You mean like the one you're planning?" "For business calls, you need an appointment." "Maybe next time." "There will be no next time." "Ah!" "Aah!" "Ah!" "Aah!" "We're all saddened by Blade's death." "Yesterday's discovery of Blade's body leaves us in a rather precarious position." "Not only have we forfeited our most experienced operative, but we have gravely underestimated the importance of his mission." "Our last contact with Blade was five months ago." "He was investigating a disturbing series of bizarre deaths involving the Finance Ministers of Common Market nations." "We can now add French Finance Minister Jacques Lafevre to the body count." "His body was discovered with Blade's, their murder disguised as a car accident." "If this pattern continues, Augustus Steranko, the newly appointed leader of the European economic community, will be next." "He must be protected." " Lieutenant Colonel Larabee." " Please continue." "Her majesty has contacted the President of the United States, and he's deploying one of their deep-cover operatives to our situation." "This operative has been living under an alias for the last five years, establishing deep cover in the United States." "Nobody knows what he looks like here." "They don't know his age, race, or background." "We do know he's arriving on Air Transat flight 35 departing Detroit tomorrow under the code name "Michael Corben."" "Lieutenant Colonel Larabee's code name is "Mother."" "Kelly?" "It doesn't sound like the operative's cover is as deep as you think." "How do you mean that?" "No one knows what he looks like?" " Sir, we know he's male." " Shut up, Kelly." "American male, age unknown, departing Detroit International terminal on Air Transat flight 35 tomorrow." "A call will be placed to him one hour before flight time." "Excellent." "I'll be there." "I advise extreme caution." "The man is a jackal." "By the way, Kelly, did you get his name?" "Michael Corben." "Good morning, Monsieur Corben." "Traveling with us first-class today?" "Yes." "White zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers." "Corben!" "Michael Corben!" "Kent, my man." "How's it going?" "Oh, pretty good." "I don't believe this one." "This was the only way." "I think we're very lucky." "Lucky?" "Lucky?" "Yeah, I feel damn privileged to send my son to Europe for only $300-plus a day." "Thanks, Dad." "Oh, Mom, while I'm gone, think about switching Dad over to decaf." " Michael." " What?" "Look who's here..." "Melissa Tyler." "Well, take her." "And lose my geek status?" "Kent, you're sticking with me." "In the daytime we'll do the French bit, but in the nighttime when the nerd patrol crashes, it's you and me, pal, on a Parisian babe safari." "What about Grober?" "Don't worry about Grober." "I can handle her." "Don't count on it." "I'll be on your ass every minute!" "I'll sit next to you during the day and check your room at night." "I even booked your seat on the plane right next to mine." "I didn't see you in class all year." "That credit is not coming easy." "We're going to make up for lost time starting now." "Repetez." "Je m'appelle Michael Corben." "Class, follow me." "Repetez!" "Repetez." "Je m'appelle Michael Corben." "Phone call for Mr. Michael Corben in the first-class lounge." "Can that call be transferred?" "No, but the first-class lounge is around the corner." "When you come back, I'll have your ticket ready for you." "Marie, I'm taking my break!" "Good morning." "I'm Michael Corben." "There's a telephone call for me." "Sorry, we're closed for cleaning." "Our club room's down the hall." "It's important." "If you can stand the noise, take it in there." "Thank you." "Michael, it's Mother." "Hello, Mother." "Honey, I can barely hear you." "Repeat, please." "Listen, Michael, pick up an extra bottle of Chanel when you go shopping." "Grandma will want one, too." "Chanel... shopping..." "Grandma?" "Right, and try to sleep on the plane." "You sound tense." " I will." " Bye, honey." "I'll miss you, sweetheart." "Uh!" " Here you go." " Thank you." " Ah, yes, we have your ticket right here." " You do?" "Well, what about..." " Michael Corben." "First-class." " First-class?" " Have a nice flight." " Thanks." "What's your seat number, Michael?" "Maybe we can sit together." "I really don't think that's possible, unless you're traveling first-class." "Right, like, I'm sure." "What?" "How..." "Paging Michael Corben." "Please report to the yellow courtesy phone." "Excuse me." "Hey, check it out." "First-class." "How?" "Ow!" "Did you really think I would sit next to Grober?" "There's been a mistake." "Where are you going with that cart?" "This should be disposed of." "Exactly." "Paging Michael Corben." "Phone call for Mr. Michael Corben." "It's for you." "Ha ha!" "Yeah?" "Corben?" "Yeah?" "It's Mother." "Who is this?" "Listen." "An operative will be meeting you on the plane." "I know who this is." "If you guys are on a speakerphone, tell your sister she has nice tits." "Corben, we shan't do anything of the kind." "Who's that?" "Sanderson?" "Haywood." "Haywood?" "Nice accent, mate." "Thank you." "Get this, guys, I'm traveling to Paris, first-class." "We're with you in spirit." "Be careful." "Good luck." "Mother." "We've got less than five minutes to get on the plane." "Let's go." "Let's go!" "We've got a plane to catch." "Uh, hey."

"Not only is Michael Corben still alive, but he's working with an American woman they call "the French Teacher."" "There!" "Michael!" "Michael!" "No!" "I'll take care of her." "Follow Corben." "Kill him." "There can be no more mistakes." "Michael!" "Nasty business!" "I wonder how it happened." "The ticket had my name on it." "I didn't want to sit there." "What else could you do?" "Nothing." "You're lucky to be alive." "In Spain, with their security, they'd have killed you." "Listen, I'm an American citizen, and I know my rights." "Corben, don't go asking for special privileges." "I want to speak to the American Embassy." " Relax." "They know you're here." " What'd they say?" "They wished you good luck." "What the hell is that?" "Our new bomb scanner, almost 90% effective." "Come along." "This way." "Ha ha ha!" "Oh, I love this place." "Stand back, gentlemen." "Well, we'd better stand here for now." "Uh!" "Isn't it marvelous?" "Ready to go again?" "Maybe later." "Hello, lan." "Sorry to interrupt." "Excuse me." "Ha ha!" "Very good!" "Michael Corben, allow me to introduce Miss Galante." "So, you're Corben." "Uh-huh." "We expected a much older man." "Interesting." "Very interesting." "Your equipment." "How old are you, Corben?" "I don't have to answer any of these questions." "Relax, Mr. Corben." "We'll respect your cover." "We prepared for someone more conservative." "These won't do at all now." "The French Police forwarded your call to their English-Speaking Bureau." "Oh, thank goodness!" "We are fully apprised of the situation." "It will be best if you just forgot whatever you thought you saw." "How can I?" "We're talking about Michael Corben!" "Are you sure you're completely aware of the full import of this situation?" "Of course." "I am the French Teacher!" "I'll kill that kid." " Keep her talking." " Oh, that won't be a problem." "I want all references to the operative called "the French Teacher."" "Go back 20 years if necessary." "Corben will have to go it alone." "Then somebody must call his mother!" "Mrs. Grober, do you know Mother?" "I certainly do." "Shh!" "Despite what you are saying, if I don't have Michael Corben this week, she will be one unhappy lady." "Is that a threat?" "French teachers do not threaten, Monsieur." "They say s'il vous plait." "My people have adjusted the armament provision designated for your mission, Corben." " My what?" " Surely you're familiar with the knapsack." "I'm sure you'll find these interesting." "You'll be the first agent to use the working prototype." "No way." "X-ray specs?" "Of course, x-rays are impervious to lead." "Of course." "May I?" "You're such a boy, Derek." "My, my!" "Chewable plastic explosives." "Sugarless, of course." "Quite ingenious." "Simply chew like an ordinary piece of gum." "Combine with the silver foil to activate the explosive compound." "These are quite new." "Press these pads to activate." "They'll adhere to any surface." "NASA technology combined with British ingenuity." "I wouldn't gain any weight if I were you." "Ha ha ha!" "This is all very cool, but you guys are making a big mistake." "Isn't this charade getting tiresome?" "Just who do you think I am?" "Michael Corben, deep-cover agent for the CIA." "Michael Corben, French-class reject." "I've seen it before." "They've got them so brainwashed in America, you can't penetrate his cover." "Here, look." "Check this out." "Here's my driver's license, my school i.d., my fake i.d." "Track down Mrs. Grober, my French teacher." " She'll tell you I'm..." " Your car." "Michael Corben, deep-cover operative for the CIA." "This is a photograph of Augustus Steranko, Orenbourg's Chancellor of Finance." "Steranko is an ally and a friend." "I got to get a boat." "Steranko will be hosting a summit at the Chateau Richlieu in Orenbourg." "This is cool." "Prime ministers from every Common-Market nation will bring their countries' gold." "The Chateau will become the Fort Knox of Europe." "When you say, "your car," did you mean "your car,"" "or did you mean "your car," as in my car?" "The assassin has already murdered three Finance Ministers and Blade, who was our own top agent." "We suspect Steranko will be his next target." "Under no circumstances should you indicate to him that you're working for British Intelligence." " Control panel open." " Get out of town." "Damn!" "Now... in here, you'll find a wet suit, scuba gear, camouflage, and a tuxedo, all outfitted with standard hands-up survival protection." "There's a map in your glove compartment." "You'll find 100,000 francs for expenses in your pack, along with the key to your room at the Palace Hotel." "It's near the casino where Steranko will be playing cards tonight." "Buy whatever you need... some new clothes, perhaps... but save the receipts." "Uh... you won't need this." "I'll keep it for you." "Ok, so basically, you want me to blaze down to Orenbourg, hang out for a while, right?" "And keep an eye on this Steranko guy." "More or less." "Uh-huh." "In this car?" " Good luck." " Yes, godspeed." "Uh-huh." "So..." "I can drive this baby out of here right now, right, without you guys?" "Um... yes."

"No." "Surviving is more important." "Good news about the French Teacher." "Our sources pegged her as a second-rate double agent from the cold war days, who the CIA left for dead."

"But this time, I'm going to make things right." "I'm going to help you get Steranko, and you're going to help me get my friends out." "I'll come up with a plan." "Just give me a chance." "Ok."

"Hey, scorpion boy, why don't you try that shit with me?" "They can't do this." "They can do anything they want." "If we don't have a plan, we don't stand a chance." "We have Corben." "Good." "Don't kill him yet." "I want to talk to him." "Why do you want to talk to him?" "I never get to talk to anyone." "Talk, talk, talk." "Talking is your tragic flaw, Augustus." "And you, grunt, are single-handedly killing the art of conversation." "Excuse me." "Um, excuse me." "I hate to interrupt, but could you help us get out of here?" "You." "Who are you?" "Who sent you?" "How are you associated with Michael Corben?" "I'm Patricia Grober." "I work for the Detroit Municipal School System." "Michael Corben is my student." "Are you satisfied?" "Don't toy with me, French Teacher!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Ohh!" "Who sent you?" "I'll come up with a plan, ok?" "Put that on." "You're having dinner with Steranko in 10 minutes." "Jerk." "If he thinks I'm wearing this army surplus reject, he's out of his mind." "It ain't my style." "Michael, number one, this is a very nice Armani suit." "Number two, you have no style." "Don't you see?" "This is the perfect opportunity." "You have to go to dinner with Steranko." "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." "Augustus and I are very proud and honored to welcome you." "Here's my plan..." "I'm going to look him straight in the eye and tell him we're all walking out of here." "Michael, you have to kill Steranko." "What do you mean, kill him?" "When will you realize the kind of people we're dealing with?" "They're going to kill your friends." "They're going to kill us, too." "Jeez, talk about peer pressure." "Michael, this is not a game!" "You can't reason with these maniacs!" "Mariska!" "Very touching." "Ok, Corben, let's go." "Dinner time." "Move it!" "Schnell!" " Easy on the jacket, man." "This is an Abalone suit." " I know that." "How pleasant to have this opportunity to dine with you." "Careful, Mr. Corben." "That China is priceless." "It once belonged to Catherine the Great." "You've proven such a worthy and persistent adversary." "Can't you lose like a gentleman?" "I want my friends." "You refuse to eat with me, and now you ask me for favors." "Where are your manners?" "What could you possibly have that would be of interest to me?" "I don't know." "I mean... how about this?" "That belongs to me." "Scorpion on the back." "Kind of your trademark, isn't it?" "Kind of an insult to scorpions." "Excuse me." "Have you been checked for rabies?" " Rrr!" " Uh..." "Augustus, this looks like a prototype." "You wouldn't be stealing that gold and making coins, would you?" "With this bug on one side and your butt-ugly face on the other?" "Bravo, Mr. Corben." "You're brighter than you look." "Let me illuminate you further." "A unified Europe... this has been the dream of great men for over a thousand years." "Now, Europe has unified out of economic necessity, and history has played into my hands." "Tonight, the key leaders will be here." "They will raise a fatal toast to the new Europe, to my Europe." "Inevitably, they will need a new leader, a visionary who can realize a utopia... a new, united Europe... a genius who can go beyond the failed dreams of Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Hitler." "Now, who will they turn to?" "They will turn to me!" "You can sure run a line of shit." " You mock me?" " Mock you?" "You're a lunatic." "Fatal toast... you're going to poison everyone?" "You'll never get away with it." "Indeed, I will." "You forced me to deviate from my original plan." "The champagne that they're drinking tonight is laced with a special poison, a poison developed by your own CIA." "It lays dormant for several months, until it attacks unpredictably." "And those who ingest it die at random intervals, apparently of natural causes." "But now, of course, that plan is useless, since you and British intelligence know so much." "Now that I no longer have the luxury of time, they must all die tonight." "You can't kill all those people." "No, of course not." "I can't kill anyone." "It's my fatal weakness." "Violence completely unnerves me." "No, when all is said and done, I didn't kill anyone." " It was you." " Me?" "When the authorities arrive, I will show them the bodies of the terrorists who infiltrated my chateau... burned beyond recognition." "Beautiful, isn't it?" "I want my friends out of here now." "Kill his friends." "Kill the girl and make him watch." "No, you can't." "Don't blame me for their fate." "You led them here." "Your ineptitude paved the way for their demise." "Your good intentions are not enough." "To succeed, you must..." "how can I put it?" "You must follow through." "You're history, pal." "I'm going to nail your ass to the wall!" "That sounds very painful." "Get in there!" "You missed a great dinner, pal." "I dropped some leftovers in your trough." " Yes?" " No... but we're getting out of here right now." "We're going to chew our way out?" "You know the gum that goes squirt?" "This is the gum that goes boom." "All right." "Ok." "Oh, shit." "Ha!" "Corben?" "Oh, no!" "Where is he?" "Step on it." "Double your pleasure, double your fun." "Corben, show yourself!" "Yes!" "Corben!" "Hmm." "Looks like he stepped out." "It's them!" "I knew I should have taken Spanish." "Somebody help us!" "Please let us out!" "God!" "They look like an order of fries." "Oh, my God!" "Michael!" "I'll get you down!" "Michael, help us!" "We're all going to die!" "No, Corben's here!" "That's what I mean." "Hurry!" "Michael, help us!" "Michael, hurry!" "Hurry!" "Michael!" "Pay attention, Mrs. Grober!" "I'm going for extra credit!" "What's happening to us?" "We're sinking!" "I got everything under control..." "I think." "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "The nitrogen... it can freeze the gold." "Don't worry, Mrs. Grober." "The nitrogen..." "I'll freeze the gold... never mind." "All right, Michael!" "Way to go!" "Oh, God, it was terrible!" "It was awful!" "And they killed that man!" "Michael, what is going on here?" "Mrs. Grober, there's no time to explain, but now you are "the French Teacher."" "Hurry!" "I understand." "Get to the reception, and don't let them drink the champagne!" " Move out!" " Go!" "Go!" "Hey!" "Your dick's on fire!" "Made you look!" "Shit!" "Rrrr!" "I was kidding about the rabies." "Aah!" "Aah!" "Oh!" "Ladies and gentlemen, raise your glasses with me now, as we sweep aside centuries of animosity and ignorance and grasp at the power which has eluded us for so long." "Alone we are nothing." "Together we are supreme." "To a thousand years of peace..." "and prosperity." "The bar's closed!" "No!" "Continue with the toast!" "Keep calm." "The champagne's poisoned!" "Poisoned?" "That's preposterous." "We must stand together against this terrorist anarchy." "Who will drink with me to the new Europe?" "I'll drink with you." "Here's to a long life." "I'll nail your ass to the wall." " Mariska, no!" " You killed my father!" "No, dear." "I killed your father." "I'll kill her." "Amazingly enough, I will." "Augustus, hurry!" "Michael!" "You hurt her, and you're dead!" "Corben!" "We're sitting on a time bomb." "This place will explode!" "Everybody out!" "All right!" "Everybody move out!" "Augustus, we've got to get out of here." "No." "Just a few more bags." "You, more bags!" "Hurry!" "Mariska." "I'm not afraid to die." "I'm not afraid to die." "Who am I kidding?" "Damn it!" "Nothing's happening." "Michael!" "There's too much weight, Augustus!" "Get rid of the girl." "Aah!" "No!" "We're still too heavy!" "We've got to get rid of the gold!" " Not the gold!" " No!" "Augustus!" "Aah!" "Augustus." "It's not over." "Who will kill for you?" "You taught me well." "Aah!" "No!" "No!" "Time to cash it in, Steranko!" "My money!" "No!" "My gold!" "No!" "No, not my gold!" "Aah!" "Keep the change." "Oh, no!" "Come on!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Move it!" "Help us!" "Help us!" "I'm the French Teacher!" "She's coming right to us." "Contain that woman." "No, you don't understand." "I'm a good guy." " What now?" " Don't ask." " Hang on to me real tight." " What are you going to do?" "Mariska, these sneakers walk down walls." "Put me down!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "I'm used to living on the edge..." "just not this close." "Hang on, all right?" "Don't worry." "It's all downhill from here." "Where's Corben?" "Oh, he's on the roof." "What will I tell his mother?" "Oh, dear, Michael." "I'm so sorry." "You don't understand." "That's Michael Corben." "Oh, dear, Michael." "Oh, Michael." " Corben, you're alive!" "Good job!" "Well done!" " Congratulations." " Corben." "Michael Corben." " Kent, man!" "Thank you, Michael." "Michael!" "Michael, do something!" "The French Teacher... she's with me." "You've got the credit!" "And take my advice." "Don't piss her off." "Oh, fine." "Uh, let her go!" "Thank you." "Thank you very much." " We'd like to get you back into service as soon as possible." " Hold on." "He's our operative, remember?" "We've got plenty of things lined up for our top man." "Guys, I don't even want to try to explain who I really am, ok?" "The only thing that's going to happen now is I'm going to take a vacation and learn a little French." "Au revoir... or something."
