The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! Page #2

as Americans we must be gracious

and considerate hosts.

Thank you, Lieutenant Drebin.

Of course, we all have a stake

in seeing that this portion

of the Queen's American tour

is completely protected.

And we can take pride

that the Queen...

Indeed, it is for all the people,

who will be able to share

in these... celebrations...

Especially exciting...

will be... the Queen's...

public appearances.

We also would like...

Ed and I drove to where Nordberg

had been found floating.

Without leads, you have to start

somewhere, and that was the harbour.

Please disperse. Please disperse.

There's nothing for you to see here.

Keep moving.

Where did they find him?

Out there.

Do you wanna take a dinghy?

No, I took care of that

at the press conference.

It doesn't make sense.

Good policeman, bright future...

then something like this happens.

He was found by the nightwatchman.

I'm gonna talk to the harbour-master.

I'll walk around and snoop.

- Yeah?

- Lieutenant Drebin, Police Squad.

I remember you. What do you want?

I wanna ask some questions.

Are you familiar with that face?

I don't know.

My memory ain't so great.

Oh, yeah?

Maybe this'll refresh your memory.

- Still hazy.

- How about this?

I remember. Why do you want to know?

- I can't tell you.

- Maybe this'll help.

- I don't think I should.

- Still don't think so?

- It's Nordberg, he's a cop.

- No, he was dealin' 'H'.

- What?

- He was dirty!

Scum! I ought to

run you in right now!

He worked at Ludwig's Shipping.

He tried to push something.

- What are you gonna do about it?

- Why should I tell you?

- Maybe this'll help.

- I shouldn't tell you.

Can you spot me a 20? How about now?

I'm going down to Ludwig's office.

I'll find out

if you're telling the truth.

Vincent Ludwig owned one

of the city's largest corporations.

A respected business man

and civic leader,

he was to chair the Queen's reception

committee.

Now I was about to question him about

drugs and attempted murder.

- Mr Ludwig?

- Yes?

Lieutenant Drebin to see you, sir.

Show him in.

- Lieutenant.

- The feeling is mutual.

Nice to meet you, too. Cuban?

No, Dutch-lrish.

My father was from Wales.

Sit down.

- What a magnificent office.

- Thank you, Lieutenant.

Most objects I have collected

over a period of many years -

my Gainsborough, Ming vases.

Priceless!

They are objects which I feel

reflect my personality,

like the Japanese fighting fish -

beautiful, graceful, elegant...

yet single-minded of purpose

and deadly when it finds

what it wants.

This particular one

is valued at over $20,000.

A luxury item, to be certain,

but I am a man who appreciates

the finer things in life.
