Mr. Jena in London.
Ambassador-2779.
Words cannot express
my gratitude.
Mr. Pollock,
very good of you...
to reconsider my proposal.
I always try my best...
to cooperate
with the very rich, Mr. Beshraavi.
Do sit down.
Ah.
You mustn't mind Hassan,
Mr. Pollock.
Hassan?
He's a peregrine falcon.
after our beloved prime minister.
They share so many
sterling qualities:
a sharp eye,
a fierce dedication, and very sharp claws.
Hassan won't harm you,
Mr. Pollock,
so long as you don't try
to separate him from his master.
He is excessively loyal.
You keep him well fed, I trust.
Of course. Nobody's that loyal.
I won't presume
upon your time, Professor.
I know how valuable
it must be.
What do you make of that?
It's a copy of
a Hittite inscription.
Second millennium B.C.,
I would guess.
Take a date, Mr. Pollock,
as a gesture of friendship.
I'm a very Arabian Arab,
I'm afraid.
Friends?
Flesh, Mr. Pollock.
Hassan eats only flesh.
I thought he looked at it rather wistfully.
It must have been your fingers.
I want to know
what that inscription means.
I want to know that
very much.
May I ask
an indelicate question?
- How much?
- $25,000.
Very well. I won't quibble, $30,000.
You go right ahead
and quibble.
How did you happen
to get hold of it?
Let us say,
I happened upon it by chance.
Oh.
Well, may the...
gods continue
to smile on you.
Thank you, Professor.
I value your good wishes.
But I won't keep you
from your work any longer.
- If you haven't finished by
- That is correct.
- I'm sorry.
I didn't mean
to interrupt your threat.
- If I'm not finished by 8:00-
- Then you'll be my guest for dinner.
I see.
And if I should happen
to run just a smidge over?
You'll find this house
a very comfortable place to work in, Mr. Pollock,
however long it takes you.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Hello.
Hello, hello, hello.
What are you doing?
are devilish, don't you think?
You're an American.
Yes, sir. Indeedy-do, ma'am.
I don't meet many Americans.
Actually, I don't meet
many people who are dressed like that either.
Do you like it?
Would you do me up, please?
Ah, ah.
Oh.
Can you manage?
Well, I- I always
tremble when I'm happy.
I take it that you're a houseguest here.
Why do you take that?
One doesn't usually
arrive for high tea dressed in a nightie.
One also isn't a houseguest in one's own house.
Oh, it's your house.
I got the impression it was
Mr. Beshraavi's house.
Nejim gives that impression
with everything he borrows,
but, I assure you,
it is my house, and he's the guest.
Would you care
to stay for dinner?
I'm afraid that
