:27:01
That may not last long for me.
:27:03
- You were in the Underground Army.
- I was in the Resistance.

:27:09
- Did you kill many people?
- 72.

:27:14
I know what would have pleased you.
Not one of them was insured.

:27:19
You're a man of obvious good taste
in everything.

:27:22
- How did you... Why did you...?
- Why did I take up stealing?

:27:26
To live better, to own things,
:27:29
to acquire this good taste you enjoy
and which I'm reluctant to give up.

:27:34
- You were frankly dishonest?
- I tried to be.

:27:37
I thought you'd have
some tale of hardship,

:27:41
your mother ran off when
you were young, your father beat you.

:27:45
No. I was in an American trapeze act
in a circus that travelled in Europe.

:27:50
It folded, so I put my agility
to a more rewarding purpose.

:27:54
You have no other defence?
:27:56
I only stole from people
who wouldn't go hungry. Your plate.

:28:01
- Quiche Lorraine, you'll enjoy this.
- I've heard of it.

:28:05
- It looks delicious.
- Yes.

:28:10
It's wonderful.
The pastry is as light as air.

:28:13
Germaine has sensitive hands,
an exceedingly light touch.

:28:17
I can tell.
:28:19
She strangled a German general once,
without a sound.

:28:28
Extraordinary woman.
:28:31
I take it you were
a sort of modern Robin Hood.

:28:35
You gave away most of the proceeds
of your crime.

:28:38
Kept everything myself. Let's face it,
I was an out-and-out thief.

:28:44
- Like you.
- I say, steady on.

:28:47
Wait. Did you ever take an ashtray
from a hotel, or a towel?

:28:51
Souvenirs, they expect that.
:28:53
You're given an expense allowance
for your meals, right?

:28:58
This meal is free. Are you going to
deduct it from your expense account?
