Femme Fatale Page #3

Please forgive me.

It's OK. It's OK.

That is just awful.

Hi! Mister Bardo is not here

at the moment.

What are you doing?

Trying to dodge bill collectors?

- Nick, it's Johnny.

- I know who you are.

- What are you doing?

- Working.

- Something I can sell?

- Could be. I just need one more piece.

Another shot of that table?

What's happen' to you?

- Are you eating?

- Barely.

How would you like a break from your

masterwork and make some real money?

- What are you selling?

- You know who Bruce Hewitt Watts is?

As strange as it may seem to you, Jean,

photographers actually read.

You know books, magazines,

and even daily newspapers.

All right, all right, smart ass,

who is he?

- The new American ambassador?

- Bingo.

He's got a wife but no one seems

to have a picture of her.

- Maybe she's camera shy.

- No, she's not camera shy.

She's got a past and

she's not talking about it.

And I did some checking and

found out she's really French.

Married before

with a kid.

I've got an ex I don't talk about

either. What's wrong with that?

Nothing except that

you don't dodge photographers...

...like you've got something

to hide.

- So you want me to nail her, right?

- You are the best.

I don't like to do this.

I feel like sh*t.

- And besides, I am retired.

- On what? IOUs?

I'm not just your agent Nicolas,

I'm your bank and you're way past due.

Do yourself a favor and go to work.

I can get 5 figures for this picture.

All right. What's her schedule?

She arrives

by private jet tonight.

- I gotta go, I gotta go. Bye.

- Take that picture.

Be careful. You almost fell!

Where are you going?

Let's see if you understand me.

Listen, I'm looking for public toilets.

The Champs Elyses are

over there or over here?

I'd like to go to the public toilets

which are in that direction. Please.

If you understand me,

in that direction...

And thanks for the ride!

Can we jump in?

Nice wheels!

What did you expect?

I only steal the best!

- Is this Nicolas Bardo?

- Speaking.

You took a picture

of Mrs. Watts?

Who wants to know?

Leonard Shiff.

Head of Watts' security.

I'd like to buy it.

Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Shiff,

but it's already been sold.

Unsell it. We'll double

whatever you've got.

That's very generous but I...

I don't think you realize

who you're dealing with, Mr. Bardo.

We know all about you,

your overdrawn bank account...

...your criminal record.

I suggest...

...you get that picture back

and you bring it to me...

...at the residence tomorrow

morning 11a.m. Sharp.

- Don't keep me waiting.

- Sir, hold on! Hello!

Nice going, man. Really.

Thanks for keeping your mouth shut.

They must have offered you

some sweet deals to talk?
