:24:03
Be quiet.
:24:05
SIMON: What is it
you request of my employer?
:24:07
TRETIAK: Do you know
what cold fusion is?
:24:10
SIMON: Of course.
:24:11
It's the theory...
:24:13
of nuclear fusion
at room temperature...
:24:16
free energy forever.
:24:17
TRETIAK: Yes.
:24:18
SERVER: Kaffee?
:24:19
SIMON: Klein, Bitte.
:24:22
SIMON: As far as science goes,
it ranks just above astrology.
:24:26
Those who claim to
have achieved the experiment...
:24:28
have never been able
to duplicate it.
:24:30
TRETIAK: Until now.
:24:33
There is an electrochemist
working at Oxford.
:24:37
We believe
that this good lady...
:24:39
made a breakthrough
in cold fusion.
:24:42
Your employer
will obtain the formula for me.
:24:46
He's very busy,
and you are very boring.
:24:50
Your offer must inspire him.
:24:51
This woman
has repeatedly avoided...
:24:54
my agents' attempts
to find the formula.
:24:58
She's cagey, difficult.
:25:01
Maybe your agents are stupid.
:25:07
I think this inspiration would
cost you three million dollars.
:25:11
TRETIAK: [Chuckles]
Ridiculous.
:25:13
SIMON: Why? You will have
the world market in energy.
:25:18
Cost you a nickel
for every million you make.
:25:20
His deposit should go--
:25:22
Hey. It is not for me.
:25:25
It is for mother Russia.
:25:26
But you want mother Russia,
too, Mr. Tretiak.
:25:30
Three million on deposit
in a bank account in Zurich. Agreed?
:25:36
Yes.
:25:37
And... How long to get
your employer's agreement?
:25:42
I'll ask.
:25:58
Your offer has inspired her.
