Hello, boys!
:31:11
Am I glad to see you!
:31:14
And we are certainly glad
to see you.
:31:19
Wait a moment!
You know me.
:31:21
I'm Chief Inspector Clouseau
of the surete.
:31:24
And I am Officer Bardot.
:31:26
But you can call me Brigitte.
:31:28
Listen, Brigitte. You are making
an understandable mistake.
:31:32
Don't let my legs fool you.
I'm really a man. Listen!
:31:38
The palace flag is lowered
to half-mast.
:31:43
The president has declared a day
of national mourning.
:31:48
Only a few hours ago...
:31:50
the great detective stood
in this very courtyard...
:31:54
and was decorated by the president...
:31:56
for outstanding service
to his country.
:32:00
According to the coroner's report...
:32:02
Chief Inspector Clouseau
was probably dead...
:32:06
before his car hit the telephone pole...
:32:10
and burst into flames.
:32:15
The president called me at 6:00
this morning.
:32:19
A dozen countries have offered the
services of their finest detectives...
:32:23
but the president
made it painfully clear...
:32:25
that this must be solved by Frenchmen,
and quickly...
:32:28
or we can all hand in
our resignations.
:32:30
I spoke with Dr. Laprone
at the hospital...
:32:32
and he assures me that Dreyfus
is completely cured.
:32:37
It's amazing.
:32:39
I've seen some lunatics
in my time.
:32:41
They were all pikers compared
with Dreyfus. He was like a wild animal!
:32:45
Didn't he actually bite you?
:32:47
Oh, yes. On the leg.
:32:50
I had to take rabies shots
just in case.
:32:53
The doctor swears
that his recovery is complete.
:32:56
He said that in the last 12 hours,
Dreyfus has literally become a new man.
