Hell live here.

Of course he will.

- I wont bother you, madam.

Youre not bothering me.

Of course youre

not bothering her.

No, youre not bothering her.

Here! Now you just have

to sleep:
this is your home.

Dont you have any luggage?

I didnt have the time

to pack a suitcase.

No, he doesnt have a suitcase.

And he doesnt have

pyjamas either.

Well, you can lend

him some, cant you?

What do you mean, lend?

Im going to give them to him.

And Im not going to

give him some pyjamas,

Im going to give him

all my pyjamas.

I cant put on several pyjamas.

I dont have a toothbrush either.

Did you hear that, Marie-Jeanne?

He doesnt have a toothbrush either.

You must admit hes unlucky.

Indeed. Now you should

go to bed.

Come on,

let your friend take a rest.

We cant let him sleep

stark naked, can we?

Say, you must show him your

book about Gothic cathedrals,

Im sure hell be pleased.

This guys knows a lot of things,

and he just loves Gothic stuff.

Youre getting crazy, Denis.

Of course Im not crazy.

Im a little bit in my cups,

but theres no harm done.

Dont you realize?

Such a gangster, here!

First hes no gangster:

hes a paratrooper.

Where is he from?

Well, better to come from there

than to go there.

I met him in Rushes Plain,

in 1950.

You werent even born yet.

Thats putting it a bit strong.

Thanks to me, he could get away

with his papers in order,

because they were

all on his trail:

the Vietnamese, the cops,

the Foreign Legion...

It keeps getting better.

We must hide him, because the others

are going to try and off him.

If I understand correctly,

somebodys always chasing him.

Cause hes a lion.

A crack, if you prefer.

I dont prefer anything.

Earlier, when he saw me...

well, he couldnt do it.

He straightened the situation,

so you should be happy.

Who wouldnt be?

Weve got to be careful:

nobody must see him.

What about the servants?

Tell them hes your American cousin

who works in export-import.

The things that I get to see,

living with you!

What about the pyjamas?

Wont you give him pyjamas?

See this car?

The bloke who gets out with a

briefcase, is a bank employee.

Every penultimate

day of the month,

there are several of them going back

and forth between here and

the "Banque de France".

As a measure of precaution,

they fetch the money

in small successive sums.

Alright, now this is the next

morning around 7:20 or 7:25.

The Americans prefer to come

and take away their soldiers pay

before the bank opens,

they think its safer.

You can see the captain

whos in charge of the operation.

This police van is a reinforcement

bonus, courtesy of the city council.

At this point, the money

is still in the strongroom
