tonight. Of course. No wonder they tried to kill me. I suspect my arrival there will surprise some of our old friends. - I want you to come with me. - I imagine you do. I suppose I could stand here all night asking you who's responsible. You wouldn't tell me, would you? If I told you everything, you'd be dead before you knew it. You're very good, you know. You're confident, you're convincing, you're... undressing. Be a dear and fix me a martini while I change. Mr. McMann? Yes. I'm sorry I'm late. The metro was... You're the secretary. I'm so excited to be working for you. I just love your mother's... books. Yes. Well, look, here. It's jolly decent of you to have come. Thank you so much. I'll give your regards to my mother. - Good day. - Good day, sir. I bet it was... Charles. It was... No, it wasn't. It was Jean Paul. Wasn't it? He's trying to get back at me for the time I persuaded him... to promise to marry two different women at the same time. The personification of mortal fear. What's wrong? You all right? Why don't we stop playing this game? You've more than earned your money. Tell me your real name. - Don Carlos Dominguez. - The Spanish Ambassador? He's the snake who tried to run me down. I thought we were going to stop this game. These diplomats will stab you in the back every time. You can count on me up to here. - I will never turn my back on you. - Thank you very much, my dear friend. - Marguerite. - There you are. At last. Bonsoir. Aren't you going to introduce us to your new friend? Yes. Marguerite Lasueur. Her husband, Rafael Lasueur, French Foreign Minister. Enchantй. Ivan Stanovonovitch, the Russian Ambassador. Na zdorov'e. Don Carlos Dominguez, the Spanish Ambassador. - May I present... - No, you may not. Excuse me. Oh, my God. The pressure is on. Bravo, madame. I never much liked that fascist donkey. Will you do me the honour, Miss... Ryan, Rebecca Ryan. And I can drink any man here under the table. I drink to Rebecca Ryan. She's the first real woman I have met in all of France. - Having fun? - Oh, yes. Who's that man? Sorry. That is Victor Marchand, he's the leader of the Opposition party... and he is very important, so stay away from him. Pieces are finally beginning to fall in place. - May I cut in? - By all means. I don't know what you hope to gain with this little game of yours. If you continue, you will get more than you bargained for. Of that you can be sure. What's with her name? Drumming up more publicity for your mother's books? More vodka. You are a very interesting woman. You are so... Yes, it's a mixture of English and Bantu tongues... spoken in the mining towns of South Africa. But German... Wasn't it Nietzsche who said: It's deep, isn't it? Oh, Lord. What on earth did you say to him? The wheels are in motion. There's no turning back now. Stay here. Don't move. I'll be right back. Above all, don't talk to anybody. "Terminate yourself immediately." Don Carlos? Oh, my God. Don Carlos, are you all right? - What happened? - I've got to get out of here. - Don Carlos, please, just one second. - That woman! How could she... How did she know? Whatever she said, she didn't mean it. My life is over. Agents are probably onto me right this very second. I didn't want to spy for them, but I had to. The money was too good. I must cite diplomatic immunity before I am a dead fish. What exactly did she tell you? Wait... maybe you are one of them right now. Na zdorov'e. - Hi. - Hello. I know. You do? How wonderful. What do you know? I... know that you are involved in a plot... that could very well cost you your life. Excuse me, Victor, we were just off. Weren't we? - Come on. - We are? I will do everything in my power to see that justice is done. Before it's all over, you'll be madly in love with me. - Good evening, madame. - It's a glorious evening, isn't it? ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Чёрная Акула на английском - текст Красная жара на английском - текст Дюна на английском - текст Летят Журавли на английском - текст Пираты XX века на английском |
