The Third Man Page #2
Propaganda. Very important
in a place like this.
We do a little show each week.
Last week we had Hamlet.
The week before
we had... something.
- The striptease, sir.
- Yes, the Hindu dancers. Thank you.
This is the first opportunity
of making an American author welcome.
- Welcome ?
- l'll tell you what, Mr. Martins.
On Wednesday night,
on the contemporary novel.
- Thought perhaps you'd like to speak.
- They wouldn't know me.
Nonsense. Your novels are very
popular here. Aren't they, sergeant ?
- Very popular.
- Are you staying long ?
How long can one stay here
Listen, Mr. Martins,
if you'd agree to be our guest,
- we'd be delighted to have you.
- Would you ?
- As long as you care to stay.
- He's due to leave tomorrow.
- Have you got a toothache.
- Number 8, Mr. Martins.
- Come upstairs a moment.
- l know a very good dentist.
- l don't need a dentist.
Somebody hit me, that's all.
Goodness. We must report that.
Were they trying to rob you ?
Oh, just a soldier. l was trying
to punch his major in the eye.
l've heard of him,
but l didn't exactly know him.
- l was going to stay with him,
but he died Thursday.
- Goodness, that's awkward.
ls that what you say to people after
death ? Goodness, that's awkward ?
- Mr. Martins ? Excuse me. Telephone.
- Who is it ?
- Baron Kurtz.
- Must be some mistake. Yes ?
[ Man On Phone ]
l'd very much like to meet you, Baron.
Come around.
Austrians aren't allowed
in your hotel.
- Couldn't we meet at the Mozart Cafe ?
- Where ?
- Just around the corner.
- How will l know you ?
l'll carry a copy of one of your books.
Harry gave it to me.
Be there in a moment.
Wait a minute.

you'll put me up here a while ?
- Certainly.
- lt's a deal.
- Did you ever read
- No, not that one.
was victimizing his best friend.
- Seems exciting.
- lt is.
l'm gunning just the same way
for your Major Callaghan.
Sounds anti-British, sir.
- Mr. Martins ?
Delighted to meet you.
Come, let's sit down here.
- What would you like ? Tea ? Coffee ?
- Coffee.
lt's wonderful how
you keep the tension.
- Tension ?
- Suspense.
- At the end of every chapter
you are left guessing.
So, you were
a friend of Harry's ?
l think his best.
Except you, of course.
The police have a crazy notion that he
was mixed up in some sort of a racket.
