bedchamber in our entire...

Hello. Hello.

And now if monsieur would inspect

the rest of the apartment?

If you please, monsieur.

Does he go with the place? No,

no, monsieur. It is nothing.

Just a slight misunderstanding.

If you please.

(INDISTINCT MUMBLING)

Monsieur le Marquis,

you have caused

this hotel grave embarrassment.

You had ample

warning to move out.

I have not yet

given up this apartment.

You have been moved

to Apartment 53.

Next to the servants'

quarters? Never.

May I remind you

that you haven't paid

your bills for the

last two months?

And may I remind you that I am heartily

disgusted with the food in this hotel?

You are in no position to complain.

Last Wednesday, for instance.

That steak was tough.

Maybe it was.

But that was no reason for you

to disturb the whole dining room

by calling for

a hammer and chisel.

I do not permit any such criticism of

my behavior from a hotel employee.

Then why don't you leave the hotel?

I will.

Not before you've paid

your 60,000 francs.

You're going to be paid,

to the last sou.

(SCOFFS) I've heard

that before, monsieur.

Oh, you'll regret

this, my good man.

I am in communication with an

American multi-millionaire.

(GRUNTS)

I have submitted to him a business

proposition of such magnitude

that the mention of 60,000

francs makes me laugh.

Has he accepted?

Well, he hasn't refused.

I mailed my letter Monday.

Well, you can wait for your

answer in Apartment 53.

I will not.

Unless these rooms are vacated in one

hour, we'll clear them by force.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

This is the Marquis

de Loiselle speaking.

I'-.-'Ir. Brandon? Oh, I'-.-'Ir.

Brandon, how do you do?

Bonjour, bonjour,

bonjour, Mr. Brandon.

Did you get my letter,

Mr. Brandon?

What do you think

about my proposition?

Hello? Hello?

You're talking from New York?

From New York?

(TALKING LOUDLY) Oh, I thought you

were in Nice, I'-.-'Ir. Brandon.

I said, I thought you were

in Nice, I'-.-'Ir. Brandon.

Can you hear me? Hello?

Mr. Brandon. Mr. Brandon.

What? You want to

speak to Mr. Brandon?

(EXCLAIMS)

Hold it. I'm coming. Thanks.

New York? Brandon speaking.

How's the market, Jeff?

Canadian General dropped to 85?

Buy 300,000 more. How's Pacific Limited?

Fine. Sell it.

Add another $500,000 and buy Gusher

Petroleum to the whole amount.

Yeah.

Did you get an estimate on

the tin factory at Peepeck?

$2,125,000?

It's a bargain. Buy it. Operator.

Don't interrupt, Operator.

I know it's three minutes.

Hello, Jeff.

Say, did you read

the Sunday paper?

How did Flash Gordon get out

of that burning submarine?

He didn't? Oh,

not till next Sunday?

All right. Send me a wire.
