:13:05
Thanks. Could you spare it?
:13:06
You know I'm something of a distinction...
:13:09
...a total albino.
:13:11
Even the slightest direct light
causes me intense pain.
:13:16
Does your physical disability preclude you
from coming to the point?
:13:19
All right, if you wish no small talk,
sit down.
:13:23
We'll discuss business.
:13:29
One of our agents
has been killed in Zürich by two men.
:13:35
We want you to sanction them.
:13:38
You'll have to get somebody else
to do your wet work.
:13:41
Please, that is a distasteful phrase.
:13:45
Call it what you want:
Wet work, termination, sanction.
:13:48
It all adds up to the same thing: Killing.
:13:50
It is what you do best.
:13:54
You don't seem to remember.
I'm a retired assassin.
:13:56
The operative word there is "retired."
:13:59
Get somebody else to do your "sanctions."
:14:02
I understand a new Pissarro
has come onto the black market.
:14:09
I'll just have to live without it.
:14:11
Your fascination with paintings
has always amazed me.
:14:16
You have how many now?
:14:19
- Twenty-one.
- Marvelous!
:14:21
I should think your collection
would be interesting material...
:14:24
...for the Internal Revenue people.
:14:28
How does an underpaid professor
buy rare paintings?
:14:33
Masterpieces worth millions.
:14:36
A professor with a balance of...
:14:38
...$2,137 in his checking account?
:14:43
You forgot the $0.42.
:14:46
I wonder what the tax people would say
if I revealed how I made the money:
:14:50
By killing people for the government.
:14:52
True, but of course,
no one will believe you.
:14:56
More importantly,
it won't do anything for your paintings.
