The Rainbow Thief Page #2

You lack a proper uniform, Dima!

No uniform, no discipline!

-Fire me!

Call your Uncle Rudolf in the hospital.

Your one and only Uncle Rudolf,

lying there, in a coma.

Ask him to come and babysit for you!

Revolting smell. What have

you got there?

Too good for you, huh?

Coldness of death was spreading

to his waist...

...when a philosopher, Socrates,

uncovered his face...

...for he had covered it up, and said:

"Kriton...

...we shall offer a cock to

Asclepios, I owe it to him."

But we're not offering this rooster

to Asclepios, I can tell you!

Kriton said:
"It shall be done."

How I'd like to talk with such nonsense!

Socrates covered his face and

made no reply.

By and by, Kriton uncovered it

and saw that his eyes were fixed.

He closed them, weeping.

And that, Dima, was the end of one...

...who was the bravest and

most noble of men.

I feel I'm pretty brave, myself.

I stole this dinner from the basket

of an old woman.

You know I don't eat stolen food!

Since when?

-Where you going?

-Out!

-When will you be back?

-Later!

Let me advise you, before

you go, just a small detail:

Instead of gold, you may

be looking for truth.

And you can keep your Uncle Rudolf, too!

They've been on their crosses for 17

hours now, ladies and gentlemen.

A world record is about to be broken.

Our two champions are still

in great shape.

They hail from India, the land

of the transcedental mind.

From the ancient steppes of Russia,

ladies and gentlemen...

I give you the one and only,

the great...

-Hey, hey. Hello!

-Ladies and Gentlemen...

You are about to witness a miracle.

One bullet right through the heart.

Copal Karankanti, the World's Greatest

Living Fakir, cannot die!

He is indestructible!

On my right, Copal Karankanti...

-Help the blind!

-Youth fades!

Think on your end!

-Help the Blind!

-Youth fades!

-Help the blind!

Cigarette for dinner, my friend?

Cigarette?

I ain't your friend and you're

blocking my light!

Put it back!

-Put it back!

By the way, a cop came by yesterday...

asking questions about a Prince

who's disappeared from sight.

Now, you wouldn't know him, would you?

Now I remember.

It was you, Dima. It was you.

I saw you standing with that tall

man with the funny cape.

And he had a dog as big as a horse.

So, it was you. It was you.

Then you both disappeared.

That for me?

Here. I'll take it. I'll take it!

-Youth fades...

-It was him.

Help the blind!

No! No No! No! No!

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Science will never admit

itself defeated!

And if I am here today, it is

to present to you...

the greatest invention of all time:

Dorikill!

The Anti-Potato Bug Powder.

In French:
Pomme de terre!
