IRANOFF:

Oh, yes, but have you a safe here

big enough to hold this?

MANAGER:

I'm afraid we have no boxes of that

size in our vault, but there is one

suite with a private safe...

IRANOFF:

That's even better.

MANAGER:

But, gentlemen, I am afraid...

BULJANOFF:

He's always afraid.

The other two exchange a look of agreement again.

MANAGER:

(a little annoyed)

I just wanted to explain. The

apartment may suit your convenience

but I doubt that it will fit your

convictions. It's the Royal Suite.

The mention of the Royal Suite startles the three.

BULJANOFF:

Royal Suite!

(To the manager)

Just a minute.

The Three Russians take a step away from the manager and go

into a huddle.

BULJANOFF:

(in a low voice)

Now Comrades, I warn you... if it

gets out in Moscow that we stay in

the Royal Suite we will get into

terrible trouble.

IRANOFF:

(defending his right

to a good time)

We'll just say we had to take it on

account of the safe. That's a perfect

excuse. There was no other safe big

enough.

The other two welcome the suggestion with relish.

BULJANOFF AND IRANOFF

That's right. Good, very good.

Suddenly Buljanoff grows skeptical again.

BULJANOFF:

Of course, we could take out the

pieces and distribute them in three

or four boxes in the vault and take

a small room. That's an idea, isn't

it?
