From Paris With Love Page #3

Synopsis: James Reece is an ambitious aide to the U.S. Ambassador in Paris, doing little jobs for the CIA and hoping to get into black ops. On the night he and his girlfriend, Caroline, become engaged, he's told to pick up Charlie Wax at Orly. Charlie is an unorthodox government employee - large, bald and bearded, foul-mouthed and eccentric. Charlie immediately takes James on a wild ride of murder and mayhem, through ethnic enclaves. As bodies pile up, the purpose remains opaque to James. Caroline, unhappy that James has been out of touch for a day, tells him to bring Charlie for dinner. Charlie can be charming - where will it lead? Does the chess-playing James have what it takes?

Oh! So you're not only a chessmaster,

Level 2 Mandarin at Cambridge Night school .

- Oh really?

And the Chinese word for "egg" is Da.

Excuse me! Sir!

Listen.

I'm born in Bristow.

I don't speak Chinese.

Hey take it easy the guy says he doesn't speak chinese.

- He does speak.

What the F***! Wax that guy's just a waiter.

- Well he's a waiter he can help us order dessert, can he?

I was looking for a Pakistani chinese dish.

- No dessert, just fortune cookies.

Oh! Then just order off the menu then.

Cream brulee pastry.

No, no, no, I'm more in the mood for

something you can sniff off a spoon.

Something you buy by the kilo.

You good?

Let's just get outta here.

- Did I say we were done?

Look! if you really want to score some coke,

I'm sure I can find someone someplace else.

We're not going anywhere.

Where's the blow?

Not blow.

F*** aargh!

Where is the blow?

No blow!

Empty that vase and collect some of that sh*t.

Do you ever noticed the closer you get to

the people who cook this sh*t the better it tastes!

And from the taste we'll about two people removed

from the chef has got the recipe for this fine product.

You tell whoever you work for. I didn't

Wax on, Wax off.

Come on, partner.

Give me the keys, come on.

Wax.

Wax on, Wax off.

What about it?

- I don't get it.

What are you the karate kid or something?

If you want to be a secret agent man,

you have to roll like a secret agent man. That's code.

Code?

- Yeah Code.

Wax is gonna take you off.

Gives them something to think about.

Throws them off balance.

Got it?

- Got it. Good.

What about this? Evidence?

Evidence my ass. Where we're

headed that's better than cash.

As long as it's all official business, right?

Well, if you knew this car was a girl name Charlotte.

Charlotte!

Yeah.

Scored some sh*t at that Chinese restaurant

and the next things you know she was overdosing.

You got me riding in along on

some personal off the book job?

F***! yeah it's personal. Trying to take it down

to some kid who lost a party.

Look! I'm sorry about your friend, Charlotte,

whoever she is...

but if this isn't about national

security I'm not going along with this.

It is when she is the Secretary of Defense's niece.

The Secretary Of Defense wants us to

shut these guys down, right?

The whole operation, top to bottom, chef to chief,

Hmm? Nope.

- Good.

- Well, I just did.

C'mon well merci you pard...
