to be in your position.

In 24 hours you'll

have caviar withdrawal.

Let me stay with me, Jack.

I'll be good. I'm begging you.

Hey, come on...

It's all right.

Once I'm on Sylt, I'm trapped.

I'll never escape.

You're really my last hope.

I'm your last hope?

Know how much money

I have on my account?

Less than in your handbag, for sure.

How much do you have?

- Less than 300 marks.

That's all...

- I do have deals pending...

I don't care about money any way.

Our differences

aren't only financial.

I'm too old for you.

How old are you, 18 or 19?

Almost 21.

Is that so? I'm 31.

I'll be an old man soon.

Trendies are more your style.

- That's nothing.

I'm 15 years older than my wife.

Does she still love you?

- Throughout our long marriage.

Worships the ground beneath my feet.

How long have you been married?

- Three years.

Wait two more. By then she'll

have a fresh young lover.

Stay out of it.

You don't know her.

I don't mind your age

or your poverty.

Glad you're here.

I forgot the papers.

Curacao Blue, straight, no ice

- I'll have water.

Separate tabs.

It seems things have changed

since our conversation this morning.

Know what, Bruno?

You're like a carp.

Compared to the bigger fishes,

you're just a small one.

Jacky the poet...

What is it, Jack?

- Some old friends.

What's this, a new

girlfriend? - No. - Yes.

Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Bogart.

- Bogart. I like that name.

- Well, you can't have it.

What do you want, Bruno?

- Come with me.

Come on.

Here's how to pay your debt.

- I'm all ears.

I expect a delivery of medical

supplies from Finland.

The driver won't

be able to make the trip.

You'll take over and pay your debt.

And I might be inclined

to donate 15000 marks to you.

From Finland?

Would 15000 marks

make me compatible?

I don't care what mother thinks.

- It wouldn't buy the dress she has.

If the deal cannot be made,

many will lose money. Me too.

Do this, and I'll wipe your slate

clean and we can do business again.

No, Bruno.

You overestimate the attraction.

I trust you

despite what you did to me.

Your last chance, buddy.

- Borders arranged?

- They're no problem.

But you must leave tonight.

Give me the details

and I'm on my way.

There's 500 marks for expenses.

The plane leaves at 8:30 p. m.

500 marks? That's peanuts!

Be back in four days,

not a minute later.

Frau Bogart.

Popo!

Well then... Goodbye.

Jack!

I want to come with you!

- No way. Go back to your mother.

Jack!

What are you doing there!

- Go away!

I said go away!

This is fun.

You don't belong here, kid.

- Don't call me that!

Did you think I'd take you?

I overheard everything.

Finally I get to see Finland.
