:13:18
- Yes?
- ChieflnspectorDreyfus.
:13:21
Send him right in.
:13:28
I came when l got your message,
Commissioner.
:13:30
I commend your promptness.
:13:33
- You have heard of the theft in Lugash?
- The Pink Panther?
:13:36
Yes, of course. It is in all the papers.
:13:40
Soon, l imagine, they will be
sending us a request
:13:42
for assistance in catching the criminals.
:13:45
I have already received such a request
from the president of Lugash personally.
:13:50
I see. How many men
did the president ask for?
:13:53
Only one. Inspector Jacques Clouseau.
:13:57
Clouseau?
:13:59
- See that he's on the next plane.
- Of course.
:14:02
But, um... Commissioner.
:14:05
Don't you think that someone more...
conventional would, uh...
:14:09
Not to take anything away
from Clouseau, you understand,
:14:12
but in view of the tense
situation in the Middle East...
:14:16
I am aware of the tense situation
between you and Clouseau.
:14:20
However, Lugash has requested
Clouseau, and Clouseau they will have.
:14:24
Your finger is in my ink.
:14:28
Hm!
:14:35
Mm-hm.
