1:04:00
You're going to see one of the
Riviera's most fascinating sights.

1:04:04
- I was talking about the fireworks.
- I never doubted it.

1:04:08
The way you looked at my necklace,
I didn't know.

1:04:12
You've been dying
to say something about it.

1:04:15
- Have I been staring at it?
- You've been trying to avoid it.

1:04:19
May I have a brandy? Care for one?
1:04:22
No, thank you. Some nights
a person doesn't need to drink.

1:04:31
Aren't you nervous to be in a room
with diamonds, unable to touch them?

1:04:38
No.
1:04:40
Like an alcoholic outside a bar
on election day.

1:04:44
- Wouldn't know the feeling.
- All right.

1:04:47
You've studied the layout,
worked out your timetable,

1:04:51
put on dark clothes with crìpe-soled
shoes and a rope, face blackened.

1:04:57
Over the roofs, down to the right
apartment... and the window's locked.

1:05:03
All that elation turned into frustration.
What would you do?

1:05:08
I'd go home, get some sleep.
1:05:11
What would you do? The thrill is
in front of you, but you can't get it.

1:05:15
The gems glistening
on the other side of the window.

1:05:19
- Someone asleep, breathing heavily.
- I'd go home, get some sleep.

1:05:24
Wouldn't you use a glass cutter,
your fist, to get what you wanted,

1:05:29
knowing it was there waiting for you?
1:05:32
- Forget it.
- Drinking dulls your senses.

1:05:35
And if I'm lucky, some of my hearing.
1:05:38
Blue-white with hairlike touches
of platinum.

1:05:43
I have the same interest in jewellery
as in politics, modern poetry,

1:05:47
or women who need
weird excitement: None.

1:05:50
Hold this necklace in your hand
and tell me you're not Robie The Cat.

1:05:56
John, you're going to rob that villa
we cased this afternoon, aren't you?
