of work.
Gee, you’ve got everything it takes,
haven’t you?
We’ve got to scarper.
The chief just gave me the order
to find another pad.
So we move out of here.
Your mustache... one side has come off.
Thanks.
Hands up!
Copter Seven, what do you see
on the road? Will you report?
All I see is a milk truck
going towards town.
No sign of any taxi.
Am keeping on observing.

MOSFILM
THE DIAMOND ARM
A screen novel in two parts
from the life of smugglers,
with prologue and epilogue.
Synopsis of Part One.
Part Two
THE BONY LEG
No beige taxi
ever entered Dubrovka.
Will you inspect Quadrangle 45!
Stop!
Stop! Wait!
- Could you take me to town please?
- What’s up?
It’s a top secret affair of State!
- All right, climb in.
- You’ve got to hurry!
I’m just learning to drive,
don’t you see?
We’re short of time!
Time is money.
When you see money, don’t lose time.
We must strike the iron
when we’re close to the swag.
Hands up!
Both of you! Or this thing
will go off!
They did it all for nothing.
There’re no diamonds in there.
There’re not?
Who ever told you
they were in the plaster?
That man with the false mustache
figured the same thing.
The police took them long ago, chief.
Hey, hold it! Stop, you morons!
To quote an old friend of mine
who’s now buried,
‘I knew too much.’
Seven calling Five and reporting
that a cherry-colored ‘Moskvitch’
has been spotted
on the forest road
speeding toward
the national border.
Seven, listen to my orders!
Mama!
Lyolik, stop it!
Easy, Kozlodoyev, there’ll be room
for all of us in the can!
