:42:00
The Ritz? Again?
:42:19
You realize what you're asking
is extremely difficult and dangerous?
:42:23
-Yes, l know that, Mr. Dermott.
-Please, no names.
:42:26
We may be up against
some very desperate characters.
:42:31
-Them?
-Those.
:42:34
Fortunately, l've a few contacts.
ln fact, this morning...
:42:37
l made a few inquiries, you know,
put out a few feelers. Just idle curiosity.
:42:41
-You've got a lead?
-Too early for anything concrete.
:42:43
Let's just say l suspect who was involved.
:42:47
ls it, you know, what we're talking about,
is it still in France?
:42:51
l think so. l think
l can definitely state it's still in France.
:42:58
You realize you might be paying
a great deal of money...
:43:01
for something you could never exhibit,
acknowledge, or even display...
:43:04
-not even in your house?
-Yes, l know. l want it!
:43:08
l just want to take it out of the vault,
all alone, just look at it now and then.
:43:13
Know that it's mine, that l own it,
that l can touch it.
:43:18
One more thing.
:43:20
Do you happen to know the owners,
any member of the Bonnet family?
:43:24
l've met Bonnet. l know his daughter, too.
:43:26
As a matter of fact,
l'm going to see her tonight.
:43:30
Drop her! Don't see her.
Don't even telephone her. That's vital!
:43:34
Any contact with any member
of the Bonnet family would be fatal.
:43:37
-The criminals would suspect a trap.
-But we're engaged.
:43:42
You know, you're a lucky fellow.
From what l hear, she's an enchanting girl.
:43:48
What the hell! The world's full of statues.
Forget the Venus.
:43:51
No! Listen!
:43:53
l'll do anything you say.
l'll give you my word.
