ARCHIE GATES:

Is that what you got from this

experience? A goddamn watch?

HAVICHON:

Ees a great f***ing watch.

Close up:
portrait of a sheik on a Rolex.

ARCHIE GATES:

There's 700 million in gold out

there and you're f***ing around

with a watch?

HAVICHON:

Bon dieu de merde, that's a lot of

gold, man.

ARCHIE GATES:

One bunker of gold and we retire

from this horseshit, Hashy--

BILL SMITHSON:

Gates.

ARCHIE GATES:

Just a second. The problem, Hash,

is how do you find it?

HAVICHON:

Like one sowsan bunker out sair --

ARCHIE GATES:

Maybe two sowsan bunker out sair,

Hash, how do you find Saddam's

bullion?

BILL SMITHSON:

Could I have some help over here,

for Chrissakes?

ARCHIE GATES:

My goodness, Bill, what seems to

be the problem?

BILL SMITHSON:

I'm trying to do a story here and

the f***ing sand is blowing in my

face --

ARCHIE GATES:

You want me to stop the sand? I

can't do anything about that.

BILL SMITHSON:

No, you're too busy talking about

the f***ing gold, which by the way

makes a great story if you'd get

me a goddamn lead on it --

ARCHIE GATES:

I think the Saddam story goes more

for the jugular, journalistically

speaking, I mean, he's still here

beating the sh*t out of his

country.

BILL SMITHSON:

Would you just be my guide and not

my f***ing producer? You're my

guide.

ARCHIE GATES:

OK, go do your celebration story,

Bill.

SMASH TO:
Rowdy soldiers mug for Smithson's camera.

SOLDIER #5

We're number one.
