Jewel Robbery Page #4

---

I took stock of myself when

I decided to break with you.

- This is the result.

- But, Teri --

oh, it won't be lasting --

just the passionate,

fleeting desire

that my life should be

clear, simple, and pure,

like that stone.

What you've just said

convinces me more than ever

that you need me

as a husband.

Oh, Paul.

Congratulations, madame.

- All settled?

- We compromised.

I accepted his offer.

And here it is.

Lambie!

Oh!

By all means.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Anything

I can do for you?

I'm sorry to intrude

at this late hour.

Oh, its perfectly

all right.

Well, then, will you kindly

put up your hands?

Ohh!

All of you.

I'll shoot

anyone who moves.

Proceed, gentlemen.

Never mind the lady.

I think I'm going to faint.

There's no reason

why you should, madame.

You're really

very safe here.

Sorry.

Wha--

oh, wh-what are you

and your men doing?

With your permission,

Mr. Hollander,

we're robbing

your shop.

Ohh. Police!

Ohh.

Uh, gentlemen, will you

be seated, please?

I prefer to stand.

I won't attack you.

That's reassuring, but

I'd rather you were seated.

I don't like strangers

looking over my shoulder.

I wish they'd pass a rule

like that at my bridge club.

- This is preposterous. Something should be done.

- You do it.

I am unfamiliar

with the procedure

under the circumstances.

Henry.

Don't forget you're handling

our property now.

That's right, sir!

I was forgetting!

Do be a bit careful,

won't you?

Don't bother to look

after the police.

My chauffeur will attend

to that for you.

Oh, by the way, Mr. Hollander,

are you insured?

Yes.

- For the whole value?

- Yes.

Well, then,

why look so tragic?

Be happy that, in these

unspeakably bad times,

I'm turning your merchandise

into cash for you.

But I have

so many old pieces.

I'll never be able to assemble

such a stock again.

Subtle bit of business.

That's old-fashioned.

Can't you do something

to liven up our little party,

baroness Horhenfels?

You know me?

I know all the people

who own unusual jewelry --

one of the elementary

requirements of my trade.

Won't you chat, please?

Chat?

Yes, chat --

uh, airy nothings.

Can't you smile a little?

You look so charming

when you smile.

This is a joke,

isn't it?

Joke?

You're

not really a thief.

"Thief"?

That's an ugly word.

Uh, let's say "robber."

What's the distinction?

Well, there's more flavor

to "robber."

We're in the most exclusive

jewelry shop in the Ringstrasse.

In robbing

a place of this sort,

one must have

a drawing-room technique.

And this, I find,

always helps

to make the atmosphere

more congenial.

And nothing like music

to keep people
