Maybe he has microfilm concealed in a tooth.

- That old trick?!

- Right.

So take one of our dentists

and get that tooth for me.

How do I know which tooth?

Yeah.

Well, better... better just yank 'em all.

Let's go!

Subject in transit.

Has changed his shoes.

Riding a bicycle. Ten-speed, I suspect.

No, that's a 12-speed.

Peugeot Grand Prix.

How does he do that?

I can't do that. Can you do that?

Now, where is he?

There he is. Stop the car.

What do you think you're doing?

His dentist is in 312.

Your target is the noon appointment.

I know what to do.

- Hi!

- May I help you?

Hi.

Uh-uh.

- Speak to Cooper?

- Yeah?

Bad news. He's changed his mind. He's left

the dentist. Looks like he's heading home.

Get ahold of Maddy.

This guy's nobody's fool. Keep following him,

but change surveillance vehicles.

What is it?

He's on his way back.

He's on his way back.

He's on his way back.

Got 'em all.

Get me some aspirin.

- He's here!

- It's too late. He's back.

Pro butte. Third strain.

Welcome home, Mr. Drew.

I hope you don't mind, your landlady

was kind enough to let me in.

I know you.

You're the woman from the airport.

You've got a good memory. Yes.

I'm with Landmark Tours. We're conducting

a survey of historic homes in Georgetown.

Congratulations. You happen to live in one.

- That's the reason that you're here?

- We hope to include this home in our tour.

I don't think so. I think you're here

because of a much bigger reason.

I think it's fate.

Destiny.

Kismet, say.

It's a confluence of energies... and powers

far beyond those... of mortal men.

Something wrong, Mr. Drew?

No.

No, Mom! I'm not watchin' TV.

I... I'm practicin'.

I'm practicin'!

Amazing!

Usually one is sufficient.

Francis Veber

Francis Paul Veber (born 28 July 1937) is a French film director, screenwriter and producer, and playwright. He has written and directed both French and American films. Eight French-language films with which he has been involved, as either writer or director or both, have been remade as English-language Hollywood films: Le grand blond avec une chaussure noire (as The Man with One Red Shoe), L'emmerdeur (as Buddy Buddy), La Cage aux Folles (as The Birdcage), Le Jouet (as The Toy), Les Compères (as Fathers' Day), La chèvre (as Pure Luck), Les Fugitifs (as Three Fugitives), and Le dîner de cons (as Dinner for Schmucks). He also wrote the screenplay for My Father the Hero, the 1994 American remake of the French-language film Mon père, ce héros. Some of his screenplays started as theater plays (for instance, Le dîner de cons). This theatrical experience contributes to his films' tight structure, resulting in what has been called "marvels of economy".Many of his French comedies feature recurring types of characters, named François Pignon (a bungler) and François Perrin (a bully). more…
