I’m afraid you’re making a mistake. You’ve obviously got me confused with someone else. (Curtly) I’m not attempting to be humorous, miss. I just don’t happen to be the man you think I am. . . . Now if you’ll excuse me . . . |
(Quietly urgent) Let me in your room, Margot. I don’t want to be spotted out here in the hall. I tried Lamont’s room first. Is he here by any chance? . . . Hi, Lamont! . . . Boy! Did you two give me a turn when you jumped at me in the street! . . . You were about the last people I expected to see here in Athens. . . . Say . . . I hope you understood that brush-off I gave you |
There’s a plot afoot here, Lamont . . . a plot so foul, so treacherous, that it almost defies description! . . . (Pauses briefly) The Communist underground is flooding the country with counterfeit currency. The aim, of course, is obvious. . . . It’s to destroy the economy of Greece! |
So . . . he’s not the first. And he won’t be the last. What’s there to get excited about? . . . Did the underground supply you with his address? To me? What would I do with him? . . . No, my friend, bring him to Hohlmayer! He’ll know what to do with him! (Laughs ominously) How Hohlmayer loves to do experimental work on these American agents! (With an ugly laugh) I can imagine! He loves American agents! They’re his favorite subjects. |
(Warmly) How’s Gyp, anyway? How’s he look? How’s he feel? . . . (Chuckles) That sounds like Gyp, all right. . . . Say, what did you say your name was? (Cuts in) Listen, why do you keep on kickin’ up all this fuss? . . . I told you – I’m not trustin’ Lefty with nothin’ confidential – not until I get an O.K. on him from Massi. . . . So what’ve you got to worry about, huh? After I make this call, Pete, I do not want to hear no more outa you about Lefty and Margot bein’ spies |
(Enraged) So you play games with me, huh, Margot? . . . You and Lamont – you make fool of me, huh? . . . I show you what it is to make fool of Nick Campos! Yes . . . yes, you’re right. . . . Hohlmayer – he will know better than me what to do with her! But I will watch while he works on her! (To Margot) Come, my dear little spy! You have an appointment to keep . . . with the Master of Torture! |
(Greek accent) Without a doubt. . . . (Grimly) Captain Davis – I regret to say – is in the hands of Walter Hohlmayer None whatever – I again regret to say. Mr. Cranston, have you any ideas? Captain Davis spoke highly of your prowess in matters of this sort. As you wish, Mr. Cranston. . . . Before anything else, let me write down my private telephone number for you. . . . (As he writes) You can reach me at this number any hour of the day or night. . . . Here you are. |
(Filter) Hello . . . (Slight pause) hello . . . hello?
Up with your hands!
The place is surrounded! I warn you . . . do not put up any fight
Take them in, men. . . .
