Knock on Wood Page #2

second dummy you've broken this week.

You've got to see Dr. Kreuger.

Oh, Marty, that stuff

takes 3 or 4 years.

Kreuger's got a new technique.

He's cured some people in a week.

Now I'm a four year

job, I just know it.

- You open in London in 10 days.

- I'll be alright in London!

You will not be alright in London!

Jerry, listen to me!

I've been with you 10 years now.

Like a brother. This is the end.

If you're not with me on the plane

tonight, and you know about me and planes.

If you don't go and see Kreuger

and straighten yourself out,

so help me, I'm walking out.

- Alright, I'll go.

- Good.

Now Kreuger will probably want

to see you work with Clarence.

What's the name of the guy who patches up the dummy?

The fella who's fixing up Terence.

- Papinek.

- Papinek.

I'll take Clarence, Jerry,

you go to the hotel and pack.

No, I'll take him over.

Poor little guy.

Now look, you've got to stop

thinking about being as a person,

it's just a hunk of wood.

Don't you think I know that?

Just a hunk of wood.

- Let me take him.

- I'll take him over.

He'd liked it better this way.

As Jerry Morgan leaves

for the shop of Papinek,

the wet-book circumstance

tightens around him.

For at that very moment,

at 26 Ru Di Orlan,

Brodnik, having gained

access to the secret files,

secures the 2 precious

blueprints of Lafayette X.V.27.

when...

as Brodnik escapes into the night,

the alarm goes out to the French police.

The news finally

reaching a high official,

who is a guest at

Godfrey Langston's party.

Olivia.

Excuse me, Monsieur.

Cash, I'd call quickly, will you?

Yes. Yes, I see.

The authorities have

sealed off the area.

Get down there, find that man.

Get hold of those plans

before the police do.

Papinek!

Papinek!

The police!

- Shhh... goes the bell.

I just managed to escape.

- The plans. Have you got the plans?

- I have them now.

Their coming in the streets.

Choppa choppa. Horsepower.

- We must get them out of here at once.

- How?

You take them. Plane, train,

they must leave Paris tonight.

Impossible, I'm being watched.

Paris will be sealed like a drum...

Every airports, every

railway station...

Mr Papinek, are you almost

finished? It's passed eleven.

Just be patient, it will

be ready in a minute.

The ventriloquist. He leaves

tonight for Zurich by midnight plane.

Midnight plane...

- Which one is his?

- Both. We put one in each.

- One in each?

- Should anything go wrong,

should one piece fall into the wrong

hands, it's no good without the other.

Good.

Hurry.

I sure hate to put you through

all this trouble, Mr Papinek,

but this is kind of an emergency.

We're leaving for Zurich tonight.
