1 00:01:52 My jewels! My jewels!
2 00:01:55 I've been robbed! Someone stole my jewels!
3 00:01:58 Help! Help! Police!
4 00:02:19 My diamonds! My diamonds! They're gone!
5 00:05:24 Monsieur Robie!
6 00:05:34 Merci, Germaine.
7 00:05:40 - Lepic. - Mercier.
8 00:05:43 Monsieur Robie, we represent the Surete.
9 00:05:47 in reference to a number of jewel robberies.
10 00:05:50 We have reason to believe you could provide us with information...
11 00:05:53 that would help us in our investigations.
12 00:05:55 Would you be good enough to accompany us to our office in Nice?
13 00:06:09 All right, but would you mind if I put on something more formal?
14 00:11:35 Ah, Bertani.
15 00:11:38 Okay.
16 00:11:40 You left in a hurry, huh?
17 00:11:42 - They came for me an hour ago. - The police?
18 00:11:45 - Five of them. - Naturally you are innocent.
19 00:11:49 I haven't stolen a piece of jewelry in 15 years.
20 00:11:52 - Ah, honesty. - It has a good feeling.
21 00:11:55 What do you think of my kitchen? Works like a machine, yes?
22 00:12:00 Just like our little band in the Underground during the war.
23 00:12:03 Cutting, slicing, just like the old days.
24 00:12:07 They think I'm responsible for these robberies, don't they?
25 00:12:10 Well, once they were all imprisoned with you.
26 00:12:12 I know. If there's any crime on the Riviera...
27 00:12:15 we're the first to be suspected by the police.
28 00:12:17 But since the war, I've obliged all these men to be honest.
29 00:12:21 I have beat honesty into their skulls.
30 00:12:23 I did not want them to break their paroles and return to prison.
31 00:12:26 If my parole is broken, they'll throw away the key.
32 00:12:29 I came here for one reason... to tell these men and you...
33 00:12:32 that I had nothing to do with the robberies.
34 00:12:34 Perhaps I believe you, but your comrades are very angry with you.
35 00:12:39 - They think you let them down. - So long, Bertani.
36 00:12:42 I wouldn't put it past any of them to be doing the robberies.
37 00:12:45 Simple men without education?
38 00:12:47 - No, Robie. - Monsieur Bertani.
39 00:12:49 Excuse me. Business calls. Don't go.
40 00:13:10 Bonjour, Foussard.
41 00:13:49 But, you know, coincidence can be terrible.
42 00:13:53 These robberies all bear your mark, but you claim to be innocent.
43 00:13:57 I do more than claim. I insist.
44 00:14:02 I can't understand how this thief could imitate me so perfectly.
45 00:14:06 It has to be someone who knew every detail of my technique.
46 00:14:10 - Maybe somebody in the police. - Ah, voila!
47 00:14:15 He picks perfect victims with only the right stones.
48 00:14:18 Goes up walls, over the roofs, down through the skylights...
49 00:14:21 leaves no clue and then disappears in the night.
50 00:14:24 Just like John Robie, the Cat.
51 00:14:26 You don't believe me any more than the rest.
52 00:14:28 You're as nervous as a cat.
53 00:14:31 If somebody caught this imitator...we'd all be off the hook, wouldn't we?
54 00:14:34 - Surely. - No one believes me...but the police are chasing the wrong man.
55 00:14:38 Someone's got to start chasing the right one.
56 00:14:40 One day he'll make a mistake.
57 00:14:42 There's only one answer, and I should have seen it sooner.
58 00:14:46 I've got to catch this imitator myself.
59 00:14:48 You couldn't do more than the police.
60 00:14:50 Oh, but I could, and I'm the only one who could...
61 00:14:53 because I can anticipate him, try to figure out his next move...
62 00:14:56 and then get there ahead of him...
63 00:14:58 and catch him with his hand right in the jewel case.
64 00:15:00 If they catch you, nobody will believe what you say.
65 00:15:03 Who believes me now? The biggest problem is time.
66 00:15:08 I've got to hit this copycat before he hears I'm after him.
67 00:15:11 To catch him in the act, I need better information than he has...
68 00:15:13 the kind that takes months to dig out.
69 00:15:15 Like who has jewels that deserve to be stolen?
70 00:15:19 Where they live? Which room they keep the stones in?
71 00:15:26 Well, for old times' sake, perhaps I can help you.
72 00:15:35 Two days ago a man came into this restaurant.
73 00:15:38 - I did not like him. - Why not?
74 00:15:40 He called me to his table.He asked me about crime and criminals.
75 00:15:44 Me, a respectable, honest restaurateur.
76 00:15:48 You think he may know something about the robberies?
77 00:15:50 He asks me strange questions.
78 00:15:52 I refuse to answer.
79 00:15:54 Then he asks me about the jewels my clients wear.
80 00:15:58 I said to myself, "You are something to do with this new Cat.
81 00:16:03 Maybe you are the new Cat."
82 00:16:35 Foussard's daughter will take you out of here by boat.
83 00:17:16 Okay, Mr. Cat, let's go.
84 00:17:18 Danielle, do me a favor. Don't call me a cat.
85 00:17:21 I only do one favor a day.
86 00:17:25 Will you do as your father here asks?
87 00:17:27 Did I brush your fur the wrong way?
88 00:18:11 I'll thank you not to mention that word again.
89 00:18:13 A man should never regret his past.
90 00:18:17 I only regret one thing.
91 00:18:19 That you never asked me to marry you?
92 00:18:21 No, that I ever took the time to teach you English.
93 00:18:24 You only taught me the nouns. I learned the adjectives myself.
94 00:18:28 - The word cat is a noun. - Not the way you use it.
95 00:18:32 For you it means excitement, danger, affluence.
96 00:18:37 What do you think of that word, affluence?
97 00:18:39 It means wealth.
98 00:18:43 - What's on your mind? - Nothing.
99 00:18:45 I was just thinking about you...
100 00:18:47 imagining you in your expensive villa, enjoying life...
101 00:18:51 while we work like idiots for a loaf of bread.
102 00:18:54 I work for a living, too, raising grapes and flowers.
103 00:18:57 And rubies and diamonds and pearls.
104 00:19:06 or "How To Get Spanked In A Hurry."
105 00:19:08 You can't touch me. I've graduated.
106 00:19:12 You going to South America?
107 00:19:14 No, just the Beach Club at Cannes.
108 00:19:16 I've always dreamed of going to South America.
109 00:19:20 People say it's a virgin country.
110 00:19:23 I can cook, sew, keep my mouth shut...
111 00:19:28 and peddle stolen jewels on the black market.
112 00:19:34 You don't think I'm responsible for all those recent robberies?
113 00:19:37 - I think so, yes. - Yes.
114 00:19:40 Together with your father and the rest of my old Resistance pals.
115 00:19:43 But there is one great difference.
116 00:19:45 They are furious with you. I am not.
117 00:19:48 Danielle, listen carefully.
118 00:19:50 I stole once a long time ago. I went to jail.
119 00:19:52 I know. The Germans bombed the prison, and you all escaped...
120 00:19:56 joined the Underground and became heroes.
121 00:19:58 I joined because I wanted to make up for some of the things I'd done.
122 00:20:01 - I've never stolen since. - I don't know what you wanted.
123 00:20:04 I know what you got... pardons that are not worth anything.
124 00:20:07 They weren't pardons. They were paroles.
125 00:20:09 We fought for six years to earn them...
126 00:20:12 those of us who were still around for the graduation.
127 00:20:14 Those paroles don't have much value today, huh?
128 00:20:17 At least they haven't been withdrawn from circulation.
129 00:20:20 No South America?
130 00:20:23 No, just the Beach Club at Cannes, please!
131 00:20:26 Well, in that case, we should hurry.
132 00:20:29 That airplane up there, it probably belongs to the police.
133 00:20:36 Hey, stupide, the contact.
134 00:20:49 What's he doing now?
135 00:20:56 - Suppose he's not my type? - Wave to him anyway.
136 00:20:59 Act as if you're a pretty girl just out for a ride.
137 00:21:02 Well...
138 00:21:10 Hey, hey, not that pretty. We want to get rid of him.
139 00:21:15 - How much further to the Beach Club? - About 15 minutes.
140 00:21:19 When you get there, pull closer to shore and mingle with other boats.
141 00:21:23 - And then? - And then I'm getting out.
142 00:21:25 I'll leave my clothes with you.
143 00:21:27 And I thought you hoped to be inconspicuous.
144 00:21:30 Nobody will ever recognize me in these.
145 00:22:39 - Hello? - The man I speak with you about...
146 00:22:42 the man who asked me the questions about the jewels...
147 00:22:45 He will wait for you at the entrance of the flower market in Nice.
148 00:22:48 He will find you.
149 00:22:50 I told him you will be tossing a coin in the air.
150 00:23:42 Tails?
151 00:23:50 H.H. Hughson, Lloyd's of London.
152 00:23:53 Am I to understand you're the man who knows everyone...
153 00:23:56 who owns the best jewelry in this vicinity?
154 00:23:58 We insure most of the important pieces.
155 00:24:01 Insurance. That's gambling, isn't it?
156 00:24:04 Well, shall we say betting?
157 00:24:06 Yes, let's just say betting...
158 00:24:08 because I have a long shot for you.
159 00:24:10 A little help in return for some of your losses.
160 00:24:13 - So Mr. Bertani told me. - Are you interested?
161 00:24:16 The proposition sounds intriguing, albeit a little unorthodox.
162 00:24:21 What does that mean, yes or no?
163 00:24:24 - My dear Mr. Robie... - Smith.
164 00:24:26 I beg your pardon. Ever been married?
165 00:24:28 No, but what has that to do with yes or no?
166 00:24:31 It might help you to understand my problem.
167 00:24:33 I have two wives... Felicity... God bless her... and the London office.
168 00:24:37 I must return worthy of both of them.
169 00:24:39 I see. And you don't think they'd approve...
170 00:24:41 of your giving me a list of your richest clients.
171 00:24:43 Officially, you come under the category of extremely bad risk.
172 00:24:51 Well, see you later, Hughson. It's always a pleasure...
173 00:24:54 to meet an insurance agent who enjoys paying off expensive claims.
174 00:25:01 However, unofficially, there's hope for you.
175 00:25:04 - I was sure there would be. - We're both taking a big chance.
176 00:25:07 Really? What happens to you if I'm caught?
177 00:25:10 I might be embarrassed, even censured officially.
178 00:25:14 They could put me away for good.
179 00:25:22 I take all the risks. You get all the jewelry back.
180 00:25:25 It strikes me that only an honest man would be so foolish.
181 00:25:28 Thank you.
182 00:25:33 - How much of a list do you need? - Only the top half dozen names.
183 00:25:36 - Anything else? - The addresses, habits... whatever.
184 00:25:39 Descriptions of the stones and settings.
185 00:25:43 - If it falls into the wrong hands? - Perhaps it already has.
186 00:25:46 - Unless you've pulled the thefts. - Not a bad idea.
187 00:25:49 - Where are you staying? - The Carlton, Cannes.
188 00:26:41 Police!
189 00:27:06 No, my dear fellow, not in the middle of the day.
190 00:27:12 Merci, Germaine.
191 00:27:14 Bring it to the table with you.
192 00:27:22 Come along.
193 00:27:31 Under the present circumstances, do you think it pays to advertise?
194 00:27:36 He hasn't left the villa in years.
195 00:27:40 Well, how do you like the place?
196 00:27:42 Immensely. It's a kind of travel-folder heaven...
197 00:27:45 where a man dreams he'll go when he retires.
198 00:27:50 Now, about that list of clients who have jewelry worth stealing...
199 00:27:55 Why don't we enjoy our lunch first? There's plenty of time.
200 00:27:58 I don't want to seem impatient...
201 00:28:00 but in 10 days I have to come up with something convincing...for the examining magistrate.
202 00:28:05 It's a very nice custom they have here in France:
203 00:28:08 Provisional liberty based upon insufficient evidence.
204 00:28:10 But, alas, that may not last long for me.
205 00:28:13 Bertani said you were a celebrity in the Underground Army.
206 00:28:17 I was in the Resistance.
207 00:28:19 - Did you kill many people? - Seventy-two.
208 00:28:24 I know what would have pleased you, though.
209 00:28:27 Not one of them was insured.
210 00:28:29 You're a man of obvious good taste in... everything.
211 00:28:33 How did you... I mean, why did you...
212 00:28:35 - Why did I take up stealing? - Yes.
213 00:28:37 To live better, to own things I couldn't afford.
214 00:28:40 To acquire this good taste which you now enjoy...
215 00:28:43 and which I should be very reluctant to give up.
216 00:28:45 - You were frankly dishonest? - I tried to be.
217 00:28:50 I thought you'd have some defense, some tale of hardship.
218 00:28:52 Your mother ran off when you were young.
219 00:28:55 Your father beat you or something.
220 00:28:57 No, I was a member of an American trapeze act...in the circus that traveled in Europe.
221 00:29:02 It folded, and I was stranded, so I put my agility...
222 00:29:08 I only stole from people who wouldn't go hungry.
223 00:29:11 Your plate.
224 00:29:14 This is a quiche Lorraine. I think you'll enjoy this.
225 00:29:16 Yes, I've heard of it. It looks delicious.
226 00:29:19 Yes.
227 00:29:23 It's wonderful. And the pastry is as light as air.
228 00:29:26 Germaine has sensitive hands, an exceedingly light touch.
229 00:29:36 without a sound.
230 00:29:42 What an extraordinary woman.
231 00:29:44 I take it you were a sort of modern Robin Hood.
232 00:29:49 You gave away most of the proceeds of your crimes.
233 00:29:52 Kept everything myself.
234 00:29:56 Let's face it. I was an out-and-out thief, like you.
235 00:30:00 - I say, steady, old man. - Wait a minute.
236 00:30:02 Did you ever take an ashtray from a hotel or a towel?
237 00:30:05 They're souvenirs. They expect that.
238 00:30:08 You're given an expense allowance to pay for all the meals...
239 00:30:15 Are you going to deduct the price of a lunch from your expense account?
240 00:30:19 Of course you're not. It would be stupid. Do you agree?
241 00:30:22 - Yes. - You're a thief.
242 00:30:24 Only an amateur, but it'll help you to sympathize with us professionals.
243 00:30:29 - I don't think I understand fully. - Let's look at it this way.
244 00:30:32 You're sorry you took the ashtray or towel, aren't you?
245 00:30:40 I can't possibly deduct every item from my expense account.
246 00:30:43 - I frankly couldn't spare the time. - Someday you'll wish you had.
247 00:30:47 Every time an ashtray is missing, they don't come looking for you.
248 00:30:51 But let a diamond bracelet disappear in France...
249 00:30:53 and they shout, "John Robie, the Cat!"
250 00:30:56 You don't have to spend every day of your life...proving your honesty, but I do.
251 00:31:01 Let's get down to business. The list.
252 00:31:09 Something bothering you?
253 00:31:11 I told the police what you were going to do.
254 00:31:14 Well, I didn't expect them to like my arrangement.
255 00:31:17 You were wrong. They thought it a splendid idea.
256 00:31:20 They hope you'll provide them with evidence they need against you.
257 00:31:23 Ah, yes. It had to be something like that.
258 00:31:30 Suppose the whole thing goes wrong?
259 00:31:32 Come on, Hughson. You're wasting time.
260 00:31:56 Yes, I think I will.
261 00:31:58 I wish I'd known somebody in the insurance racket...
262 00:32:02 when I first started in the burglary business.
263 00:32:06 Let me see. My first bait will be this Mrs. Stevens...
264 00:32:10 the American woman with the diamonds and the daughter.
265 00:32:13 - Do you know them? - I'm having dinner with them.
266 00:32:16 I could possibly arrange a meeting.
267 00:32:19 In this business, you can't do things the honest way.
268 00:32:22 Remember that.
269 00:32:33 No, what I mean, Mrs. Stevens, wouldn't it perhaps be better...
270 00:32:36 if you left some of that jewelry in the hotel safe?
271 00:32:39 Stop acting like an insurance agent.
272 00:32:41 I didn't buy these for my old age. I bought them to wear.
273 00:32:46 Put your money away. You can cheat a little on your expense account.
274 00:32:58 That's France.
275 00:33:01 Everyone from the vegetable scrubber to the manager...
276 00:33:02 gets a tip whether he's earned it or not
277 00:33:05 Mother, everywhere you go you complain about tipping.
278 00:33:08 And I shall continue to complain. I've just paid for the privilege.
279 00:33:13 Let's go over to the casino. I want to hit the tables while they're hot.
280 00:33:17 Perhaps I should just mail them the money.
281 00:33:20 Oh, no. Don't bother, Pierre. I can't afford it.
282 00:33:27 Handsome. I wouldn't mind buying that for you.
283 00:33:30 - Oh, Mother. - Come along.
284 00:33:32 Maybe Mr. Hughson doesn't care for gambling.
285 00:33:34 Everyone likes to gamble, one way or another, even you.
286 00:33:37 I have an intense dislike for it.
287 00:33:39 Francie dear, when the stakes are right, you'll gamble.
288 00:33:43 Is it imitation? Really?
289 00:33:47 You mean, costume jewelry?
290 00:33:49 Well, what do you know? The things they make these days.
291 00:33:51 Why, you can hardly tell it from the real thing.
292 00:33:54 It's better than anything we have back in Portland, Oregon.
293 00:33:57 Almost everything is.
294 00:33:59 Thank you.
295 00:34:11 I should never have stopped here. Baccarat's my game.
296 00:34:14 Why did you let me get so close to this whirling pickpocket?
297 00:34:20 Wouldn't ya know?
298 00:34:51 I'm terribly sorry, madame.
299 00:35:01 Yes, but, madame, that...
300 00:35:04 Well, that was a ten-thousand franc plaque.
301 00:35:16 Well, maybe she doesn't...
302 00:35:20 Well, if you'd rather not take my word, it's all right.
303 00:35:27 Thank you. I'll trust you too. I won't count it.
304 00:35:43 If Jeremiah were only here...
305 00:35:46 But he'd think all this flying around...
306 00:35:50 from Palm Springs to St. Moritz to the Riviera...He'd think it was all foolishness.
307 00:35:52 He used to say, "I wouldn't be one of those silly society gadabouts...
308 00:35:55 if they promised me I could live forever."
309 00:35:59 Well, he got his wish.
310 00:36:02 - Mr. Burns, where are you from? - Oregon.
311 00:36:06 Jeremiah would have liked you.
312 00:36:08 A man with both feet on the ground, that's what he was.
313 00:36:11 Unfortunately for him, he never realized how valuable...
314 00:36:14 the ground was he had his feet on.
315 00:36:16 - We had a ranch. It wasn't... - Mother, please.
316 00:36:19 Mr. Burns would be very interested.
317 00:36:21 We had a ranch. It wasn't a very big one.
318 00:36:24 No plumbing, a little thing out back. Poor Jeremiah.
319 00:36:29 He'll never know how close he came to 20 million barrels of oil.
320 00:36:37 Bourbon's the only drink. You can take all that champagne stuff...
321 00:36:45 Grape vineyards, huge barrels aging forever...
322 00:36:50 poor little old monks running around testing it...
323 00:36:52 just so some woman in Oklahoma can say it tickles her nose.
324 00:36:56 Mother, I think we ought to go to bed.
325 00:37:00 Nobody ever calls me Jessie anymore.
326 00:37:06 Mr. Burns, would you call me Jessie?
327 00:37:08 - I'd be happy to. - Good.
328 00:37:13 Mr. Hughson, would you call me Jessie?
329 00:37:15 - If you like. - I like.
330 00:37:18 - Mr. Burns, you said lumber? - That's right.
331 00:37:22 How come you haven't made a pass at my daughter?
332 00:37:25 And don't say, "Oh, Mother" to me.
333 00:37:29 Mr. Burns, I asked you a question.
334 00:37:31 Very pretty, quietly attractive.
335 00:37:40 - Come on, Mother. - And so to bed...
336 00:37:45 where I can cuddle up to my jewelry.
337 00:37:51 I think I'd rather have 100,000 Jeremiahs.
338 00:37:54 I think I'll toddle along to my cot.
339 00:37:56 I'll be delighted to escort you to your suite.
340 00:37:58 That's very thoughtful of you. Come on, Jessie.
341 00:38:01 Mr. Burns, do you make much money at lumber?
342 00:38:04 Right now building is booming.
343 00:38:07 Would you mind if I had you investigated a little?
344 00:38:10 Not at all. With what object?
345 00:38:13 If I were Francie's age, you'd sound too good to be true.
346 00:38:31 Thank you, Mr. Burns.
347 00:38:34 You know, there's very little lumber around here.
348 00:38:37 Just why did you come to the Riviera anyway?
349 00:38:39 To meet someone as charming as you.
350 00:38:42 Boy, now I am going to have you investigated.
351 00:38:46 - Aren't you going in? - I'm down the other end.
352 00:40:09 How much did he get away with last night?
353 00:40:12 The gems were insured for 35,000... in dollars.
354 00:40:15 Somebody wins, somebody loses.
355 00:40:17 Hughson, I sympathize with you.
356 00:40:19 Pretty rough having to send bad news into your home office.
357 00:40:24 Yeah. Well, at least you know that the burglar...
358 00:40:29 - What do they call him? - The Cat.
359 00:40:31 Oh, yes.
360 00:40:33 At least you know he's still around and getting closer.
361 00:40:37 That's something, isn't it?
362 00:40:39 Would you kindly keep your jewelry in the hotel safe?
363 00:40:43 What do I do when I go out, wear the safe around my neck?
364 00:40:45 Well, not literally. It's just that...
365 00:40:47 It's just that your insurance company goes into shock...
366 00:40:54 That's what it was, a bet. Now, you want to welch?
367 00:40:58 If your jewels are stolen, you will be paid, of course...
368 00:41:00 but we couldn't replace the sentiment and affection...
369 00:41:07 than I have for a train ticket that gets me somewhere.
370 00:41:10 They're pretty, and they attract attention.
371 00:41:13 Most of all, they make it possible for my daughter...
372 00:41:16 to go to the right places and not be ashamed of me...
373 00:41:18 that is, too ashamed of me.
374 00:41:20 - Good morning, Mr. Hughson. - Good morning, Miss Stevens.
375 00:41:24 - Mr. Burns. - You sent for me?
376 00:41:26 Yes, I thought we might go for a swim...
377 00:41:28 or if you're not athletic, sunbathing.
378 00:41:31 I think I can manage to stay afloat. Thank you.
379 00:41:34 Mr. Hughson's been telling us about a robbery last night...
380 00:41:36 - after we went to bed. - Oh? Who?
381 00:41:39 Madame Leroux, wife of a high government official.
382 00:41:41 - $35,000. - Oh, too bad.
383 00:41:45 You should find a more happy business.
384 00:41:47 The famous jewel thief, the Cat's loose again, they say.
385 00:41:51 Well, Mother, you're next.
386 00:41:53 I'm insured.
387 00:41:55 I'll get my bathing trunks. Meet you in the lobby.
388 00:41:58 I'll just slip into something and be down in a few minutes.
389 00:42:06 Weren't we what? Going to what?
390 00:42:08 - Last night we discussed going up... - Up?
391 00:42:11 - Up the funicular railway. - I can't even spell funicular.
392 00:42:19 - What are you doing this afternoon? - I went to a real estate agent.
393 00:42:22 He gave me a list of furnished villas for rent.
394 00:42:25 You plan that long a vacation?
395 00:42:27 I might even retire here.
396 00:42:30 It says that some of the villas aren't in very good repair.
397 00:42:33 Quite a few of the roofs need careful examination.
398 00:42:37 Good-bye, Hughson. Don't let the robbery spoil your day.
399 00:42:40 It's only money and not even yours at that.
400 00:43:02 Should I ask the social director to introduce us?
401 00:43:04 No. I was just wondering which was the best way out of here.
402 00:43:08 Well, the Mediterranean used to be this way.
403 00:43:10 Well, I'm a gambler. Let's try that.
404 00:43:28 There's a message for you.
405 00:43:35 Thank you.
406 00:44:57 You performed a very beautiful robbery last night.
407 00:45:00 - Strictly routine. - You're marvelous.
408 00:45:03 Last night you steal a small fortune...
409 00:45:06 and today you lie on the beach with an American beauty.
410 00:45:09 That's why one needs a small fortune.
411 00:45:11 Is this your next victim?
412 00:45:14 Well, let's just say she's a useful friend.
413 00:45:17 You know, your old friends of the Resistance...
414 00:45:23 they called the police all sorts of terrible names...when they had to let you go yesterday
415 00:45:28 Would it be bad manners to ask who tipped off the police...at the flower market?
416 00:45:32 They'd never say anything to the police. You know that.
417 00:45:35 Somebody did.
418 00:45:36 Still they would be very happy...if you were caught during your next job.
419 00:45:40 It's nice to know I have friends.
420 00:45:43 Perhaps it would be better if you were caught.
421 00:45:49 They say what a pity if they must kill the Cat.
422 00:45:53 They will do all they can to avoid the prison.
423 00:45:55 Well, now isn't that amazing? The police want me in jail.
424 00:45:58 My old friends want me dead. The Cat wants me out of town.
425 00:46:05 Seems the sky is about to fall in on me.
426 00:46:07 Then, don't you think it's foolish to remain here...
427 00:46:10 without knowing what will happen to you?
428 00:46:12 But if you were in South America with me...you will know exactly what will happen.
429 00:46:18 You make it sound dangerous either way.
430 00:46:20 It would be so much nicer to be killed by love, no?
431 00:46:24 Pardon me while I get the water out of my ear.
432 00:46:28 John, you know what sort of men they are at Bertani's.
433 00:46:31 Another robbery and they will do something to you.
434 00:46:35 Well, I better get back.
435 00:46:38 But what has she got more than me, except money?
436 00:46:42 And you are getting plenty of that.
437 00:46:45 Danielle, you are just a girl. She is a woman.
438 00:46:50 Why do you want to buy an old car...if you can get a new one cheaper?
439 00:46:55 It will run better and last longer.
440 00:47:00 It looks as if my old car just drove off.
441 00:47:03 No, it hasn't. It's just turned amphibious.
442 00:47:06 I thought I'd come out and see what the big attraction was...
443 00:47:10 and possibly even rate an introduction.
444 00:47:11 You didn't tell me your name.
445 00:47:14 - Danielle Foussard. - Miss Foussard, Miss Stevens.
446 00:47:23 We only met a couple of minutes ago.
447 00:47:31 That's warm, friendly France for you.
448 00:47:35 I was asking about renting water skis.Would you like me to teach you how to water-ski?
449 00:47:39 Thank you, but I was women's champion at Sarasota, Florida.
450 00:47:43 It was just an idea.
451 00:47:46 Are you sure you were talking about water skis?
452 00:47:49 It looked as though you were conjugating some irregular verbs.
453 00:47:54 Say something nice to her, Danielle.
454 00:47:57 She looks a lot older up close.
455 00:48:03 To a mere child, anything over 20 might seem old.
456 00:48:15 Enjoying yourself, Mr. Burns?
457 00:48:18 It's very nice out here. You know, the sun and all.
458 00:48:20 It's too much for me. I'll see you at the hotel.
459 00:48:22 - I'll come with you. - You didn't finish telling me...
460 00:48:26 why French women are more seductive than American women.
461 00:48:29 You know what I'd like to tell you.
462 00:48:32 Wait a minute!
463 00:49:19 Here.
464 00:50:05 Yeah. Well.
465 00:50:07 What about cocktails? 6:00 suit you?
466 00:50:09 - We can talk about that on the way. - To where?
467 00:50:12 To rent you a villa.
468 00:50:15 Picking out a villa is... It's a personal thing.
469 00:50:18 I have my car and a basket lunch with chicken and beer.
470 00:50:26 You'll get lost. A stranger who doesn't know the language.
471 00:50:30 I was going to hire an English-speaking chauffeur.
472 00:50:38 I must say your terms are generous.
473 00:50:44 - Too generous to refuse. - My terms usually are.
474 00:50:47 - Where's your car? - It's right there.
475 00:50:50 I can't seem to get out of this gracefully, so let's go.
476 00:51:45 I've been waiting all day for you to mention that kiss...I gave you last night.
477 00:51:51 Back home in Oregon, we'd call you a headstrong girl.
478 00:51:54 Where in Oregon, the Rogue River?
479 00:52:02 I've lived in 27 different towns and cities.
480 00:52:04 Why, somebody chasing you?
481 00:52:06 - Boys. - You can stop running now.
482 00:52:09 When I was ten my father died, and they discovered oil on our land.
483 00:52:12 That's when I really started to travel.
484 00:52:15 - The boys' fathers chased you? - Yes.
485 00:52:17 But I had the funny feeling all they wanted...
486 00:52:23 On second thought, back home in Oregon...
487 00:52:31 - Do you honestly believe that? - I've proved it.
488 00:52:33 - You're a singular girl. - Is that good or bad?
489 00:52:36 It's good. It's quite good. You know what you want.
490 00:52:39 You go out after it, and nothing stops you from getting it.
491 00:52:42 You make it sound corny.
492 00:52:44 You're a jackpot of admirable character traits.
493 00:52:47 I already knew that.
494 00:52:50 You do things with dispatch. No wasted preliminaries.
495 00:52:53 Not only did I enjoy that kiss last night...I was awed by the efficiency behind it.
496 00:52:58 I'm a great believer in getting down to essentials.
497 00:53:00 Inviting me for breakfast, planning a swim, this drive.
498 00:53:06 I must say you are a girl in a million.
499 00:53:08 That's a routine compliment, but I'll accept it.
500 00:53:12 May I ask you a personal question?
501 00:53:14 I've been hoping you would.
502 00:53:16 What do you expect to get out of being so nice to me?
503 00:53:19 Probably a lot more than you're willing to offer.
504 00:53:22 I know.
505 00:53:24 You're here in Europe to buy a husband.
506 00:53:26 The man I want doesn't have a price.
507 00:53:29 Well, that eliminates me.
508 00:53:53 You're right. Give me a woman who knows her own mind.
509 00:53:57 No one would give you a woman like that. You have to capture her.
510 00:54:00 - Any particular method? - Yes.
511 00:54:03 But it's no good unless you discover it yourself.
512 00:54:07 Are you sure this is the right address?
513 00:54:10 It is a little large, but it's on the real estate agent's list.
514 00:54:26 That sounds more like your mother than you.
515 00:54:28 There's not much difference between us...
516 00:54:34 I don't like cold things touching my skin.
517 00:54:37 Why don't you invent some hot diamonds?
518 00:54:39 I'd rather spend my money on more tangible excitement.
519 00:54:42 Tell me. What do you get a thrill out of most?
520 00:54:45 I'm still looking for that one.
521 00:54:53 I thought we were going to look at the gardens.
522 00:55:00 I was interested in the architecture.
523 00:55:02 Mediterranean, turn of the century, isn't it?
524 00:55:11 You never mention your wife.
525 00:55:13 Never found the time to get married.
526 00:55:15 You don't seem to be pushed for time now.
527 00:55:18 Or did you just come over to add interesting items to your diary?
528 00:55:21 Like the name and description of that French girl you swam out to.
529 00:55:25 You are husband hunting, after all.
530 00:55:27 That wasn't jealousy you heard working...
531 00:55:29 merely disappointment in your limited imagination.
532 00:55:32 Teenage French girls yet.
533 00:55:35 I'll bet you snowed her under... the big handsome lumberman from America.
534 00:55:40 I'll bet you told her all your trees were sequoias.
535 00:55:42 That certainly sounds like jealousy to me.
536 00:55:45 Don't be ashamed of it. Let it out.
537 00:55:47 - You're somewhat egotistical. - Fighting fire with fire.
538 00:55:51 - Miss Stevens? - Yes, Mr. Burns?
539 00:55:55 - You know what I think? - About what?
540 00:55:57 - You. - I don't really care.
541 00:56:02 Tell me.
542 00:56:04 You're an insecure, pampered woman accustomed to attracting men...
543 00:56:09 but you're not sure whether they're attracted to you or your money.
544 00:56:14 - You may never know. - Anything else?
545 00:56:17 What you need is something I have neither the time...nor the inclination to give you.
546 00:56:22 And just what is that?
547 00:56:24 Two weeks with a good man...at Niagara Falls
548 00:57:05 I'm hungry. What about opening that picnic basket?
549 00:57:08 Not till we get to the picnic grounds.
550 00:57:11 - Which you've already picked out. - Which I've already picked out.
551 00:57:15 - Is it far? - Oh, a few miles.
552 00:57:17 - Lonely and secluded? - Naturally.
553 00:57:29 Well, then why are we dawdling like this?
554 00:57:32 That's exactly what was running through my mind.
555 01:00:09 - Hey, slow down. - And let them catch us?
556 01:00:13 - Let who catch us? - The police in the black car...
557 01:00:19 Yes, police following you: John Robie, the Cat.
558 01:00:46 Oh, lovely day.
559 01:00:49 Have you ever seen anyplace in the world more beautiful?
560 01:00:52 Just look at the colors of the sea down there and the sky...
561 01:00:55 and those little pink and green buildings on the hill.
562 01:00:58 Think of all those roofs you could climb over.
563 01:01:02 - Who did you call me? - Robie, John Robie.
564 01:01:05 One of the world's cleverest jewel thieves known as the Cat.
565 01:01:08 I read all about you in the Paris paper.
566 01:01:14 Well, the picnic basket's in the trunk.
567 01:01:26 I hope you try to bluff me, Mr. Robie.
568 01:01:28 Then I can have the fun of telling you how clever I was.
569 01:01:31 Since I'm not Mr. Robie but Mr. Burns...
570 01:01:34 there would be hardly any point in trying to bluff you.
571 01:01:36 Nevertheless, tell me how clever you were.
572 01:01:39 Well, the first thing I noticed about you was...
573 01:01:40 Don't sound so pleased with yourself.
574 01:01:43 I've never caught a jewel thief before. It's stimulating.
575 01:01:45 - It's like... - Like sitting in a hot tub?
576 01:01:51 Here, let me serve.
577 01:01:53 The first time I saw you was on the beach at Cannes.
578 01:01:56 You swam ashore from a motorboat driven by that little French girl.
579 01:02:00 You got an opener? Thank you.
580 01:02:06 That was two days before you showed up at the hotel as Mr. Conrad Burns.
581 01:02:16 Oh, now don't be disappointing and sound like Mr. Burns.
582 01:02:19 I can only be myself, Miss Stevens.
583 01:02:21 Then be yourself, John.
584 01:02:24 - I prefer Conrad. - You can't be serious.
585 01:02:27 And I think it's about time you called me Francie.
586 01:02:31 I have to look out for Mom. They've tried to steal her jewelry before.
587 01:02:34 So when I read about the... you in the paper...
588 01:02:37 just a small item, but I picked it up...
589 01:02:39 I was sure Mother would catch your eye.
590 01:02:42 Well, she did because I liked her.
591 01:02:44 And so far, Miss Stevens...
592 01:02:47 So far, you haven't said anything that sounds even remotely clever.
593 01:02:50 Stick around. The next thing I noticed about you was remarkable.
594 01:02:53 - Well? - All evening long...
595 01:02:55 you only looked at my mother, never at me.
596 01:02:58 - I kissed you, didn't I? - I kissed you.
597 01:03:02 - I wasn't looking at her then. - You were thinking about her.
598 01:03:05 Otherwise, you never would have let me say good night so easily.
599 01:03:13 I must remember to yell "timber" occasionally.
600 01:03:17 Now, here comes some of the clever part.
601 01:03:21 You're just not convincing, John.
602 01:03:23 You're like an American character in an English movie.
603 01:03:27 You just don't talk the way an American tourist ought to talk.
604 01:03:30 Don't you know that the guidebooks say don't behave like a tourist?
605 01:03:33 You never mention business or baseball or television...
606 01:03:38 or wage freezes or Senate probes.
607 01:03:40 All the things I left America to forget.
608 01:03:43 You're just not American enough to carry it off.
609 01:03:47 Tell me, how long has it been?
610 01:03:49 - How long has what been? - Since you were in America last?
611 01:03:53 Oh, I don't know, about four or five days.
612 01:03:55 - And Oregon? - Two or three days before that.
613 01:03:58 Name me three deciduous trees indigenous to the Northwest.
614 01:04:01 Listen, you're a very nice girl, but you've got too much imagination.
615 01:04:05 You go around talking like that about me...
616 01:04:07 I'll wind up in a French jail for something I didn't do.
617 01:04:09 Are you going to rob Mother first or somebody else?
618 01:04:11 Under the circumstances, somebody else.
619 01:04:14 That's nice. Mother likes you.
620 01:04:16 I think Lady Kenton should be our next job.
621 01:04:20 Isn't she on your list? She ought to be.
622 01:04:22 The Kenton jewels are famous. I know every inch of her villa.
623 01:04:25 - I can already hear your next line. - The Cat has a new kitten.
624 01:04:29 - When do we start? - Don't talk like that.
625 01:04:32 You're leaving fingerprints on my arm.
626 01:04:34 I am notJohn Robie, the Cat.
627 01:04:36 Why are the police following you? Show me that real estate list.
628 01:04:40 That villa we went to isn't for rent and you know it.
629 01:04:42 The Sanfords have owned it for years. I'm going to a party there.
630 01:04:46 You have a very strong grip, the kind a burglar needs.
631 01:05:02 That's why you came up here, isn't it?
632 01:05:07 We'll have cocktails at 8:00 and dinner at 8:30, all in my suite.
633 01:05:10 - We'll talk about it there. - I can't come.
634 01:05:14 I'm going to the casino and watch a firework display.
635 01:05:17 You'll get a better view from my place.
636 01:05:20 Already got another date.
637 01:05:22 Everywhere you go, I'll have you paged as "John Robie, the Cat."
638 01:05:27 8:00 and be on time.
639 01:05:30 I haven't got a decent watch.
640 01:05:33 Steal one.
641 01:05:37 Excuse me. I could not speak with you today, Monsieur Robie.
642 01:05:40 I did not know your new name.
643 01:05:42 I figured you had a good reason.
644 01:05:54 You prepare also, no?
645 01:05:56 There will be many women, rich jewels.
646 01:06:00 - Just the bait I need. - Something the Cat can't resist?
647 01:06:04 I suppose all your boys will be there?
648 01:06:06 - Naturally. - That's nice.
649 01:06:14 - Well, you keep them busy. - Good-bye, Robie.
650 01:06:17 Oh, who was the pretty American girl?
651 01:06:21 You bring her to my restaurant for dinner, yes?
652 01:06:23 Not tonight. She made some small plans for the two of us.
653 01:06:26 Well, soon.
654 01:06:37 Good night.
655 01:06:39 If you really want to see fireworks...it's better with the lights out.
656 01:06:44 I have a feeling that tonight you're going to see one of...
657 01:06:47 the Riviera's most fascinating sights.
658 01:06:49 - I was talking about the fireworks. - I never doubted it.
659 01:06:53 The way you looked at my necklace, I didn't know.
660 01:06:57 You've been dying to say something about it all evening. Go ahead.
661 01:07:12 Some nights a person doesn't need to drink.
662 01:07:17 Doesn't it make you nervous to be in the same room...
663 01:07:19 with thousands of dollars worth of diamonds...
664 01:07:26 Like an alcoholic outside of a bar on election day.
665 01:07:30 Wouldn't know the feeling.
666 01:07:33 All right. You've studied the layout...
667 01:07:35 drawn your plans, worked out your timetable...
668 01:07:38 put on your dark clothes with your crepe-soled shoes...
669 01:07:41 and your rope, maybe your face blackened.
670 01:07:51 All that elation turned into frustration. What would you do?
671 01:07:55 I'd go home, get a good night's sleep.
672 01:07:58 Oh, what would you do? The thrill is right there in front of you...
673 01:08:01 but you can't quite get it.
674 01:08:03 The gems glistening on the other side of the window...
675 01:08:07 and someone asleep, breathing heavily.
676 01:08:10 I'd go home and get a good night's sleep.
677 01:08:12 Wouldn't you use a glass cutter, a brick...
678 01:08:15 your fist, anything to get what you wanted...
679 01:08:17 knowing it was just there waiting for you?
680 01:08:20 - Oh, forget it. - Drinking dulls your senses.
681 01:08:24 And, if I'm lucky, some of my hearing.
682 01:08:27 Blue-white with just hairlike touches of platinum.
683 01:08:32 You know, I have about the same interest in jewelry...
684 01:08:35 that I have in politics, horse racing, modern poetry...
685 01:08:37 or women who need weird excitement... none.
686 01:08:39 Hold this necklace in your hand...and tell me you're not John Robie, the Cat.
687 01:08:45 John, tell me something.
688 01:08:47 You're going to rob that villa we "cased" this afternoon, aren't you?
689 01:08:51 I suppose "rob" is archaic.
690 01:08:53 You'd say, "knock over"?
691 01:08:56 Don't worry. I'm very good at secrets.
692 01:08:58 Tell me, have you ever been on a psychiatrist's couch?
693 01:09:01 Don't change the subject. I know the perfect time to do it.
694 01:09:04 Next week the Sanfords are holding their annual gala.
695 01:09:07 Everyone who counts will be there.
696 01:09:09 I'll get you an invitation. It's an 18th century costume affair.
697 01:09:13 There will be thousands upon thousands of dollars' worth...
698 01:09:19 I'll get all the information. We'll do it together. What do you say?
699 01:09:23 My only comment would be highly censurable.
700 01:09:30 Give up, John. Admit who you are.
701 01:09:36 Even in this light, I can tell where your eyes are looking.
702 01:09:51 Look, John. Hold them.
703 01:09:54 Diamonds...
704 01:09:56 the only thing in the world you can't resist.
705 01:10:00 Then tell me you don't know what I'm talking about.
706 01:10:18 Ever had a better offer in your whole life? One with everything?
707 01:10:25 I've never had a crazier one.
708 01:10:28 Just as long as you're satisfied.
709 01:10:35 You know as well as I do, this necklace is imitation.
710 01:10:39 Well, I'm not.
711 01:11:17 - Give them back to me. - What did you have in mind?
712 01:11:22 Give them back to me! Mother's jewels!
713 01:11:26 I don't have them.
714 01:11:32 Now, tell me... Wait a minute.
715 01:11:42 There's only one place to look, and that's obviously here!
716 01:11:45 Help yourself.
717 01:11:51 Did you see Francie? Did she tell you what happened?
718 01:11:54 Yes. She's downstairs, searching my room.
719 01:11:56 That doesn't make sense. She said she knew where my jewelry was.
720 01:11:59 She was wrong. May I look into your bedroom?
721 01:12:01 If it'll do any good. Should we call the police and the hotel manager?
722 01:12:09 I'd be just as happy if you didn't find anything.
723 01:12:15 It was exciting at first. Now it's more exciting to have them stolen.
724 01:12:22 I'd be crazy to take this attitude if I did.
725 01:12:26 Why on earth did Francie suspect you, Mr. Burns...
726 01:12:29 a simple woodcutter from Oregon?
727 01:12:31 I'm anything but that, Mrs. Stevens.
728 01:12:34 My real name is John Robie.
729 01:12:36 I used to be a jewel thief, several years ago.
730 01:12:39 What a wonderful surprise!
731 01:12:42 Somehow, I can't get worked up over it.
732 01:12:45 - Where did you keep the stuff? - In the case over there.
733 01:12:50 - Watch out for fingerprints. - There won't be any.
734 01:12:56 - Did they get everything? - Everything.
735 01:13:00 Francie must have known about you all along.
736 01:13:02 She guessed today. You must sleep soundly.
737 01:13:07 I do.
738 01:13:11 He came down through the air shaft.
739 01:13:14 If you're not Mr. Burns from Oregon...
740 01:13:30 Don't touch anything. You're not going to cover up any clues.
741 01:13:33 There aren't any clues to cover up. He came down the air shaft...
742 01:13:35 took the stones and went away the same way.
743 01:13:38 You know how he got in here as well as I do.
744 01:13:40 - Find anything in my room? - I certainly did.
745 01:13:43 - Nothing of your mother's. - You gave those to your accomplice.
746 01:13:46 I did find that the clothes of Mr. Burns...the American, all had French labels in them.
747 01:13:56 Listen to what it says about us...
748 01:14:13 His name isn't Burns. He's a notorious jewel thief, the Cat.
749 01:14:17 And what's he doing here now, lamb, if he already's got the junk?
750 01:14:22 Returning to the scene of his crime.
751 01:14:24 Since when is love a crime?
752 01:14:27 His name is Robie, and, for my money, he's a real man...
753 01:14:30 not one of those milksops you generally take up with.
754 01:14:33 - Mother, after all... - After all, my foot.
755 01:14:36 Why do you think we moved so many times?
756 01:14:39 Your father was a swindler, dear, but a loveable one.
757 01:14:43 This one's a bigger operator on every level.
758 01:14:58 Well, if she doesn't have any common sense, I do.
759 01:15:00 Oh, shut up. They were my baubles that were stolen.
760 01:15:03 If I don't care, why should you? They're insured.
761 01:15:07 The big question is, where do we go from here?
762 01:15:12 To jail.
763 01:15:34 Never heard of him.
764 01:15:40 Mother, the book you're reading is upside down.
765 01:15:54 We may be in France, but I'm still an American.
766 01:15:56 A man is innocent until he's proved guilty.
767 01:15:59 - Proved! - That won't be hard.
768 01:16:06 Mother, he played us both for fools, and you know it.
769 01:16:15 He's a low, worthless thief. Just what did he steal from you?
770 01:16:20 Oh, Mother!
771 01:16:21 Sit down while I tell you something about life and John Robie.
772 01:16:25 Sit down before I knock you down!
773 01:16:49 So for three days you've been doing nothing but fishing.
774 01:16:52 Keep it down.
775 01:16:54 Do you still believe I did the Stevens'job?
776 01:16:56 Well... Yes, until you sent for me.
777 01:16:59 If you had done it, you'd hardly risk my bringing the police.
778 01:17:02 - Thank you. - As you've been safely in hiding...
779 01:17:07 - I need your help. - Perhaps I need yours even more.
780 01:17:10 My superiors at the London office...
781 01:17:12 This time I might solve some of your problems, possibly all of them.
782 01:17:16 That's too much to hope for.
783 01:17:18 For three nights, I've been watching one of the villas on your list.
784 01:17:20 - Which one? - The Silvas, the South Americans.
785 01:17:23 Somebody else is watching it too. I've seen him in the dark.
786 01:17:26 I haven't gotten close enough to catch him and find out who it is.
787 01:17:29 - Has he seen you? - Probably.
788 01:17:33 To do that, I'm going to need the assistance of the police.
789 01:17:36 Naturally, I can't approach them.
790 01:17:38 How do you know he'll be there tonight?
791 01:17:40 Somebody gave this to Germaine, my housekeeper.
792 01:17:46 But it's in French. What does it say?
793 01:17:47 Roughly, it says: Robie, stay away from the Silvas' villa tonight.
794 01:17:51 It's my night to yowl, not yours.
795 01:17:53 Who gave it to Germaine?
796 01:17:54 It was left in her shopping basket.
797 01:17:57 Look, Hughson, get back to town and convince Lepic...
798 01:18:01 to have the police at the villa soon after midnight.
799 01:18:04 - You're actually going there? - Of course.
800 01:18:06 But that note is obviously bait for a trap.
801 01:18:08 Someone wants you to go to the Silvas' tonight.
802 01:18:10 - I know it. - Possibly to kill you.
803 01:18:14 - Will you talk to Lepic? - All right.
804 01:18:17 Look, if this Cat doesn't show up, the police might get you...
805 01:18:21 and the whole thing will turn out rather badly.
806 01:18:24 Maybe I'd better go along tonight as your alibi.
807 01:18:27 Hughson, I know you get your insurance rates at a discount...
808 01:18:29 but why be foolhardy?
809 01:20:35 Almost everybody in Philadelphia reads the Bulletin.
810 01:20:37 Just a minute, Mother.
811 01:20:49 The cat burglar's dead.
812 01:20:57 Honey, you better start practicing your apologies, in two languages.
813 01:21:05 You are positive Foussard was the Cat?
814 01:21:07 We have no reason to change the story I gave to the newspaper.
815 01:21:13 I cannot give you another. Now, if you'll excuse me...
816 01:21:16 One more point, Monsieur Lepic.
817 01:21:18 This is a check for $280,000.
818 01:21:21 That's nearly 92 million francs.
819 01:21:23 Since you caught and, unfortunately, killed the Cat...
820 01:21:26 In our opinion, he killed himself, attempting to escape justice.
821 01:21:29 Either way, I've been instructed by my company...to pay off the Stevens' claim.
822 01:21:33 I'm disinclined to do this if recovery of the jewelry is imminent.
823 01:21:37 - Is it? - It will take time.
824 01:21:40 I'd say several centuries.
825 01:21:43 I just came in to congratulate you on your capture.
826 01:21:50 All's well that ends well, huh?
827 01:21:53 Newspapers have their headlines, all the rich tourists can relax...
828 01:21:56 and you got your publicity and possibly a commendation from Paris.
829 01:22:00 Almost everyone got some good out of it. Except Hughson's company.
830 01:22:07 It has cut into their assets.
831 01:22:10 Poor Foussard. Never guessed it was him. Ordinary wine waiter.
832 01:22:14 Family man. Wooden leg.
833 01:22:20 Oh, didn't you know? Why, certainly.
834 01:22:23 He lost it during the war. That's remarkable, isn't it?
835 01:22:26 A man with a wooden leg teaches himself to climb up walls...
836 01:22:29 and to run over the roof with the agility of a four-footed cat.
837 01:22:33 - Is that true? - I believe he had a bad leg.
838 01:22:36 Yes, you showed such good taste in keeping it out of the newspapers.
839 01:22:41 I think I'll drop in to Foussard's funeral, pay my last respects.
840 01:22:44 And at the same time get a look at the real Cat...
841 01:22:47 who will certainly be there purring.
842 01:22:52 In a phrase, I do.
843 01:22:54 - Tell the commissioner who it is. - He wouldn't believe me.
844 01:22:57 - Then try me. - You'd find it hard to believe.
845 01:23:01 When I catch the Cat on a rooftop with a handful of stolen diamonds...
846 01:23:04 Monsieur Robie, it's because I gave this story...to the newspapers, you're at liberty.
847 01:23:09 But the day I catch you on a roof, I'll call the reporters again!
848 01:23:13 Lepic, that's all I wanted to know.
849 01:23:16 Good day.
850 01:24:07 A most unhappy affair, eh, Robie?
851 01:24:11 Unhappy because it isn't me down there?
852 01:24:16 Poor Danielle.
853 01:24:18 I have a great compassion for her.
854 01:24:22 I'll look out for her.
855 01:24:25 What do you suppose happened to all the stuff he stole?
856 01:24:27 Ah, that's a mystery.
857 01:24:30 The police have looked in everyplace.
858 01:24:35 - The boys owe you many thanks. - For what?
859 01:24:39 You know, for risking prison to capture the Cat.
860 01:24:44 Oh, that.
861 01:24:46 But you have no reason to complain, eh?
862 01:24:51 Could you be a little more specific?
863 01:24:54 The American girl... What's her name?
864 01:24:57 Oh, Francie Stevens. That the one?
865 01:25:06 rich beyond your dreams.
866 01:25:11 When are you going to America?
867 01:25:14 I didn't know I was.
868 01:25:17 You will make a great mistake if you don't marry her...
869 01:25:23 and return to your native country.
870 01:25:24 Let's talk about it at the Sanford gala over the weekend...
871 01:25:29 you know, between your catering duties.
872 01:25:31 - You are not invited. - I will be.
873 01:25:36 What costume will you wear?
874 01:25:39 I'll figure out something to surprise you.
875 01:25:42 Ah, good luck.
876 01:26:07 Get out! Get out of here!
877 01:26:10 Killer! Murderer!
878 01:26:41 John
879 01:26:50 John
880 01:27:11 Are you going to make it hard for me to apologize?
881 01:27:15 You know I am.
882 01:27:18 Until Mother told me, I had no idea the things you were up against.
883 01:27:20 Yeah, well...
884 01:27:23 - What are your plans now? - Now what?
885 01:27:26 - That the cat burglar's dead. - Foussard isn't the Cat.
886 01:27:29 - But the newspapers... - The man had a wooden leg.
887 01:27:34 He wasn't trying to rob it. He was trying to kill me.
888 01:27:41 Then who killed him?
889 01:27:43 If I ever find out, I'll let you know. Good-bye.
890 01:27:46 John, why bother?
891 01:27:50 It's sort of a hobby of mine... the truth.
892 01:27:53 - Let me do something to help you. - Oh, no, thanks.
893 01:28:01 Mr. Robie, I was wrong about you, I think.
894 01:28:04 You might possibly be wrong about me.
895 01:28:11 - Pardon me. I have a bus to catch. - I won't pardon you.
896 01:28:16 I'm in love with you.
897 01:28:23 That's a ridiculous thing to say.
898 01:28:31 Were playthings.
899 01:28:36 I'll make you a sporting, exciting offer.
900 01:28:40 I don't know if I'm up to it now.
901 01:28:43 Get me an invitation to the Sanford gala, I'll take you there.
902 01:28:46 It's costume, you know. You can't go without a costume.
903 01:28:49 - What are you wearing? - Louis XV.
904 01:28:52 Mother and I got them in Paris.
905 01:28:56 I'll phone you in a day or two.
906 01:29:00 Oh, you probably wonder why I want to go, huh?
907 01:29:09 Will it be dangerous?
908 01:29:13 Not for tourists.
909 01:32:14 My nerves could stand a drink.
910 01:32:16 Your nerves and your mother.
911 01:32:57 There they are: Police Commissioner Lepic and one of his men.
912 01:33:01 Wigs, pantaloons and flat feet.
913 01:33:04 Come on.
914 01:33:08 Champagne?
915 01:33:15 Where do you think you left them, Mother?
916 01:33:18 Upstairs in our room. They're in my purse.
917 01:33:20 Would you be a sweetie, John, and get them for me?
918 01:33:23 Of course. I'd be delighted.
919 01:33:26 - Mother. - All I said was...
920 01:33:28 Never mind what you said.
921 01:34:34 Thank you, dear.
922 01:34:40 Shall we dance?
923 01:38:19 Well, I hope the London office appreciates what I've done for them.
924 01:38:24 My feet are killing me.
925 01:38:27 Mother was quite a little actress tonight.
926 01:38:29 I thought she played her part rather well. "Heart pills."
927 01:38:34 I didn't believe this scheme of yours would work, but it has.
928 01:41:28 I figured it was you the night your father died!
929 01:41:30 He couldn't climb anything. You always did his legwork...
930 01:41:32 even during the war when you were a kid.
931 01:41:34 Come down, Robie!
932 01:41:49 Come down, Robie, or we shall be forced to shoot!
933 01:42:27 Put that gun down. He's not the Cat.
934 01:42:29 - Then what does he do on that roof? - Your job!
935 01:42:32 - I can only believe what I see. - You shoot him and I'll...
936 01:42:34 John Robie is just where I knew he'd be someday.
937 01:42:52 He's not alone up there.
938 01:43:37 Oh, pull me up!
939 01:43:40 Don't shout. It makes me nervous. I might drop you.
940 01:43:42 - Then drop me. - Whatever you say.
941 01:43:45 All right, you've got a full house down there.
942 01:43:47 - Begin the performance. - What performance?
943 01:43:50 The one in which you tell them what is what and who is really who.
944 01:43:53 But, please, John, I might slip!
945 01:43:55 I figure I can hold you for about 30 seconds, no more.
946 01:43:58 - I did it for my father. - That's fine, but I already know it.
947 01:44:06 If you get up here. Tell them!
948 01:44:09 I was working for my father! Now, please...
949 01:44:12 Your father is conveniently dead. Who else?
950 01:44:19 Tell them who was behind it, who engineered the whole thing...
951 01:44:26 Bertani. Bertani was behind it.
952 01:44:29 - We're telling them down there! - Bertani was behind it!
953 01:44:32 - That's right. - Please, please...
954 01:45:05 - Who brought you up here? - The police.
955 01:45:08 And we would have caught you if my dress hadn't gotten caught...
956 01:45:11 all over the steering wheel and gearshift.
957 01:45:12 It was only 20 minutes ago I said good-bye.
958 01:45:14 - As quickly as you could. - Didn't I thank you?
959 01:45:21 I had work to do up here.
960 01:45:24 Were you afraid to admit you just can't do everything by yourself?
961 01:45:28 That you needed the help of a good woman?
962 01:45:31 And you just aren't the lone wolf you think you are?
963 01:45:34 All right. Without you, I couldn't have done it.
964 01:45:37 I needed the help of a woman.
965 01:45:40 I guess I'm not the lone wolf I thought I was, Francie.
966 01:45:45 Well, I just wanted to hear you say that.
967 01:45:50 Thank you.
968 01:45:53 - Good-bye. - Good-bye.
969 01:46:09 So this is where you live.
970 01:46:12 Oh, Mother will love it up here.
