A Night in Casablanca Page #4

Synopsis: In post-war Casablanca, Ronald Kornblow is hired to run a hotel whose previous managers have all wound up being murdered. French soldier Pierre suspects the involvement of ex-Nazis, specifically Count Pfefferman, in reality the notorious Heinrich Stubel. But Pierre himself is accused of collaborating with the enemy, and attempts to clear his name with the help of his girlfriend Annette and cagey buddy Corbaccio. They enlist the aid of Pfefferman's beleaguered mute valet, Rusty, and discover a hoard of war booty the Nazis have cached in the hotel.

- You're wasting your time. Cut him up.

- Get up and fight!

I would like to see a little blood.

Hello.

- Cigarette?

- No, thanks. Cigar?

- No, thanks.

- You want a light?

How are things down the other end?

This is like living in Pittsburgh,

if you can call that living.

I am Beatrice Reiner. I stop at the hotel.

I'm Ronald Kornblow. I stop at nothing.

- I am looking for something.

- Arert we all?

Mr. Kornblow, I lost my diamond clip...

and I thought it might have turned up

in the lost-and-found department.

The lost-and-found department.

Just slink yourself over this way.

Here we are in the lost-and-found.

I'm lost, and you're found.

My clip, please.

I'll take a look. If I can't find the clip...

perhaps I can interest you

in something else.

You think you lost something?

Get a load of this, a toupee.

- Who could have lost that?

- Some guy must have blown his top.

But I just love your hair.

It's so soft and silky.

Silky now, but next year I'm getting nylon.

I think you're the most beautiful woman

in the whole world.

Do you really?

No, but I don't mind lying

if it'll get me somewheres.

- I shall be in the Supper Club tonight.

- Supper Club?

- Yes. Will you join me?

- Why? Are you coming apart?

Come on now.

You wouldn't say no to a lady.

I don't know why not.

They always say no to me.

If you come to the Supper Club,

I shall sing some opera for you.

Bye-bye, now.

And remember...

I shall be singing only for you.

You don't have to sing for me.

Just whistle.

That reminds me,

I must get my watch fixed.

Come on now.

Everyone sings with me, all right?

Bravo. That was wonderful.

- Beatrice, you were magnificent.

- Thank you, Count.

We take no more chances with Kornblow.

We get rid of him tonight.

- Tonight?

- Yes.

Make a rendezvous with him later.

Some quiet corner away from the hotel.

Say, 11:
00.

- Exactly what corner?

- Rue Lafayette.

- Very well.

- Waiter.

You will find an excuse

to leave here in time.

You will drive the car and you will see to it

that it looks like a traffic accident.

And make it fatal. That's all, waiter.

- All right, what do you want?

- Not so quick, my friend. It costs money.

What are you talking about?

You know I'm broke.

I also know that you're looking for a man

who wears a toupee.

You know who he is?

This means everything to me.

If you know who he is, tell me.

The wheel has been unkind to me tonight.

I should like to try again.

- It would only take a few hundred francs.

- I'll pay you, I promise.

- A croupier doesn't accept promises.

- Tell me his name.

If you happen to find a few hundred francs,

I'll be at the Brass Monkey.

What's the matter?
