:45:01
You remember.
:45:03
Why wouldn't I remember?
It was only three years ago.
:45:06
Of course. Claude Russo,
alias Claudine Russo.
:45:10
Armed robbery dressed as a woman.
:45:13
But he got five years.
:45:15
He was released on parole
three months ago.
:45:18
So it could have been Russo.
:45:21
He is clever.
:45:23
Clever enough to fool Francois?
:45:26
I like Francois, but fooling him
no longer constitutes...
:45:31
an act of more than average cleverness,
shall we say?
:45:39
I always thought
he was rather a good policeman.
:45:42
When he was my assistant,
he was a very good policeman...
:45:45
with a bright future.
:45:47
But then he was assigned to Clouseau.
:45:49
Now, Charles.
:45:50
- All that's in the past.
- Yes, of course.
:45:53
Tomorrow morning...
:45:55
when they plant him six feet deep
and shovel in the dirt...
:46:01
I shall be truly free.
:46:04
Unless he's figured out a way
to come back from the dead...
:46:07
nothing that anyone does or says about
him will ever make any difference again.
:46:13
- Shall we do some work?
- That reminds me.
:46:18
What is it?
:46:19
The chief thinks
that you should give the eulogy.
:46:23
- The what?
- The tribute.
:46:25
Me?
:46:26
- You knew him intimately.
- L hated him intimately.
:46:30
But you're the expert who's going
to track down his murderers.
:46:34
I'm the expert who would love
to kiss his murderers. Understand?
:46:38
The P.R. people loved the angle.
:46:42
Sacrilege! L won't do it.
:46:45
Politics.
:46:46
No. L'm a good Catholic.
:46:49
- So is the chief's wife.
- L don't care.
:46:51
- What's she got to do with it?
- She wrote the speech.
:46:57
Ladies and gentlemen...
:46:59
honored guests...
