:28:01
The reason for that is because
in the last 19 and a fraction weeks
:28:06
I have received 134 telegrams
from Mr Alexander Meyerheim,
:28:10
all saying exactly the same thing.
When will the script be finished?
:28:15
When will the script be finished?
:28:17
How can I write
with him badgering me this way?
:28:21
Day and night, wires, messages,
telephone calls.
:28:24
How was it today? Did you work well?
When will it be finished?
:28:28
Talk about men in trench coats!
He spies on me constantly.
:28:31
His people are everywhere.
For all I know, you might be one.
:28:35
Mr Benson!
:28:37
I'm sorry. Some days I just feel like
whatshisname in "Les Misérables".
:28:40
- Jean Valjean.
- I guess so.
:28:43
Only last night... Last night
I swore to him on the telephone
:28:47
that I had 138 pages in front of me.
:28:50
I said, "Alex,
any man who takes your money
:28:53
and tells you he's got 138 pages
in front of him and doesn't
:28:57
is nothing but a liar and a thief!"
:29:01
Sometimes I get the feeling
he doesn't trust me.
:29:23
I know
who the mysterious stranger is.
:29:27
He's a liar and a thief.
:29:30
Sure. A latterday François Villon,
:29:31
who lives by his wits
and what he steals.
:29:34
A jewel thief, maybe.
:29:36
Expert safe-cracker.
:29:38
There isn't a safe in the world
:29:41
he can't open with his bare hands.
I've got it!
:29:44
We have to start all over again
:29:47
but that's not too serious.
We've only got eight pages.
:29:50
Let's see. We're alright through
Alexander Meyerheim production,
:29:53
Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower,
story and screenplay, Richard Benson.
:29:57
We keep the Bastille Day jazz, only
this time we don't start on Gabby,
