The Pink Panther Strikes Again Page #2

This is Chief lnspector Clouseau's

residence.

This is Chief lnspector Clouseau...

speaking on the phone.

What? Oh, put him on.

Good evening, Commissioner.

How are you? How is Madame

and all the little commissioners?

I see.

Well, you can rest assured...

that I shall take every precaution

that is necessary.

Thank you, Commissioner,

and good evening.

I have just received word

that former Chief lnspector Dreyfus...

has escaped from the insane asylum.

For some reason,

the deputy commissioner...

thinks that he might try

to kill me.

Obviously, the poor man is crazier

than anyone gives him credit for.

Nevertheless, I am ordered

to take every precaution.

See that the back and front doors

are locked...

while I slip into

my new hunchback disguise.

Both doors are locked now.

Who are you?

What have you done

with lnspector Clouseau?

Chief lnspector Clouseau.

Fooled you, didn't l?

Oh, Chief lnspector,

that is fantastic.

If you think this is fantastic...

wait till you see the full effect

with the hump.

The bells!

They deafen me!

Chief lnspector Clouseau?

Yes, this is

Chief lnspector Clouseau.

Who is speaking?

My name is Duval.

Claude Duval.

I have the honor to be chairman...

of the Jacques Clouseau

presentation committee.

The presentation committee?

For me?

For what purpose, may I ask?

For what purpose, you ask.

How modest of you.

The purpose, monsieur,

is to honor...

one of the city's most dedicated...

brave and selfless public servants.

You are most generous, monsieur.

Most.

Yes, I must admit I have often wondered,

considering my years on the force...

and my numerous accomplishments, why

recognition was not forthcoming earlier.

Absolutely right.

Nine years faithful service

at the Surete...

and not as much as a single decoration

in all that time.

Yes, that is quite correct.

However,

as you are no doubt aware...

I have recently received

an important promotion.

Really?

I have replaced the lunatic Dreyfus

as chief inspector.

I know, and I'm sure Paris sleeps

the more safely because of the change.

You're very most kind.

But I can assure you when it comes

to matters of keeping the peace...

I'm always on my toes.

Chief lnspector.

One moment, please.

Can't you see

that I'm on the phone?

Oh, yes, Commissioner.

Fortunately, there was sufficient air

still left in my hump...

to keep me afloat

until the rescue.

Yes. Well, thank you very much,

Commissioner. Good-bye.

That was the commissioner.

He was most concerned.

Well, you have been

very, very lucky, you know.

Yes, I know. Poor Cato

will be in the hospital for weeks.

Do you know what kind

of a bomb it was?

The exploding kind.
