:30:11
Hi.
Yeah.
:30:13
How are you doing?
l'm Jim Harrison.
:30:16
l heard there was
another American in the hotel,
l thought l'd buy you dinner.
:30:19
l'm from New York.
Oh, me too.
:30:21
Yeah?
Yeah.
:30:22
Great meeting you. l'm starved.
:30:24
You see, Jim,
all the big record companies
want to sign us for an album.
:30:27
But right now, we're just refining
our songs, you know,
so we don't get ripped off
:30:33
by people like Simon & Garfunkel
and, you know, Springsteen.
:30:37
So we do it in Morocco.
Then it's ours.
:30:42
You know, you're the first guy
in show business l've met over here.
:30:45
Do me a favour. Do me a favour.
:30:48
Do an autograph for my kid.
Here. Come on.
:30:52
Oh. Yeah, sure.
Just write ''To Jim.''
:30:56
l really appreciate it.
Sure. My pleasure.
:31:00
Jim?
Yeah.
:31:04
That's a nice pen.
Keep it.
:31:05
No, no, no, you...
Keep it. Go ahead.
:31:10
Keep it, keep it!
You can buy me a drink
when l get to Morocco.
:31:13
So, uh, what are you doing here, Jim?
l'm with the ClA.
:31:19
lnteresting work?
lt's okay.
:31:20
lt's a little rough right now
because the communists
are trying to instigate a coup
:31:24
against the emir
and take over lshtar.
:31:27
Why?
That's how it works.
:31:29
Today they get lshtar,
tomorrow they get North Africa.
:31:33
Why?
That's how it works.
:31:36
Every once in a while,
an American comes over,
:31:39
and we ask him to keep
his eyes and ears open for us
and we pay him a little something.
:31:43
You'd be surprised
how many harmless conversations
:31:45
are really the first step
toward recruiting agents
for left-wing organizations.
:31:48
A guy comes up to you
and he starts talking about
the poverty, the injustice in lshtar.
:31:53
And there is poverty
and injustice in lshtar.
:31:54
Of course.
:31:56
He could be sincere, he could be
saying exactly what he means,
:31:59
Sure.
or he could be feeling you out.
