where to go and help make up the rest.

There's nothing even to forget.

Can I see the hat?

I wish we could hang out.

It's my birthday.

I tell you what...

I was saving these for the dinner party.

Ambassadors.

The finest smokes you can buy. You and I

will fire them up when you get back.

Havana.

- Birthday cigars.

- That's them.

It's early.

I already laid out 117.50.

- What's that in real money?

- Pick up the phone.

Spenser.

They want Spenser.

That's your character name.

Go on, say something back. Go on.

- Hello.

- Number 6 Bishops Mews.

The back door is open.

The girl is upstairs.

Radio contact only from now on.

And Spenser, this time...

...remember to flush. Out.

What'd they say?

Remember to flush.

They were supposed

to give you an address.

6 Bishops Mews, England.

That's right around the corner. Come on.

I'll drop you off. It's gonna be great.

Speak.

- Help me! He's going to kill me!

- Give me that phone!

- Who is this?

- I'm in the flat across the street!

You can see me in the window!

Help me, please!

Liar! You stupid cow!

You lay one finger on me

and I'm calling the police.

Call the police now, then! Go on!

Bang on cue, your favorite john.

Johnny, tell him

he can't talk to you like that.

Tell him to go to hell.

Tell him anything you want.

Yeah, tell me anything you want!

Come on!

Do you know what your problem is,

apart from being a really ugly bastard?

Come on! You big pansy!

Give us your best shot, mouseballs!

Excuse me, are...?

Hello.

Why have we stopped, people?

Is there a problem?

- Break a leg. Gotta go.

- Okay, later.

All right. Have fun.

Wait. What am I supposed

to do when this is over?

- I have no idea where I am.

- Take my phone.

When the show's over, around 11:30,

don't worry, call me.

I'll pick you up and we'll smoke

those Ambassadors by midnight.

- Gotta be my birthday so 11:59, the latest.

- 11:
59.

Knock them dead, big brother.

There'll be bodies all over the place.

Have you got any spare change?

I don't have any of your money yet.

You sure about that?

No, I'm not. I'll give you what I have.

I do have American money.

It's just as good. Here.

I'm sorry.

Nobody told me it already started.

All right, then, just go back to "Give me

your money" or whatever the heck.

Just give me money or I'll cut you!

Let me just do my line, first.

Please don't kill me.

I'll give you all the money I got.

I'll give you everything. I got no jewelry.

I just got a couple of kids.

They're expecting me

to come home tonight.

They don't want to see their daddy

dead on the street.

I don't want to kill you.

I'm sorry. I was not prepared

for any of this stuff.
