Ladies and gentlemen!
Ladies and gentlemen...
I would like to propose a toast...
to Michael and Elizabeth Courtland...
this world's last romantics.
Happy tenth anniversary!
Happy anniversary!
And if you'll allow me,
a special toast to this man...
a man of endless energy
and ambition...
the cream of the new South...
my dear friend
and new senior partner...
in what will soon be the finest real
estate development in New Orleans...
the new Pontchartrain Estates!
Thank you, Bob.
Bob has very generously
referred to me...
as part of the cream
of the new South.
I would be more inclined
oh, skim milk of the Middle West
or something.
Energy...
ambition.
I would hope...
that we could direct
those qualities...
to try and retain...
for the new South...
some of the graceful values
of the old South.
- Daddy.
- What?
- Will you dance with me?
- Will I dance with you?
What will you do
if I dance with you?
I'll dance with you.
- Good night.
- Good night, John.
Bob, thanks again.
Thank you, Bob.
Good night, Debbie.
Good night.
Thank you.
It was nice having you.
Good night, Carl.
Mommy! Mommy!
Honey?
Turn it on.
Come on, kid. Talk, damn it!
Tell your daddy how much
you want him to bring that money!
Daddy, please bring the money,
please!
- That's real good.
- Please come get me and Mommy, please!
That's good. That's real good.
Yes?
to Mr. Courtland.
Come in.
- What is it, son?
- Mr. Courtland?
The man said you'd give me a tip.
Five dollars! Gee, thanks.
- What did he look like?
- Who?
The man who gave you the bag.
Just a man.
Let's start at the beginning.
Slow down.
Come on, kid! Talk, damn it!
Tell your daddy how much
you want him to bring that money!
Daddy, please bring the money,
please!
Please come get me and Mommy,
please!
Call the police.
I guess I'll have to take my money
out of the Pontchartrain project.
I know, Court.
Just thinkin' about it
makes me sick.
You know, I'm not gonna
take advantage of this.
just as you planned.
We'll build your park.
Hell, I like trees.
If you pick up the option,
you're not obligated to do my plan.
You can do anything you want with it.
You know that.
I want to do this thing for you.
Thanks, Bob. I appreciate that.
Of course, there's still
a week on the option.
If the police can get your money back,
it'll be just like before.
Well, I guess somebody
oughta get to the bank.
I'll go there myself.
Inspector Brie is here.
He'd like to see you right now.
- Would you send him in?
- Okay.
Hello, Inspector.
Thank you for coming out. Sit down.
Thank you.
Would you like a cup of coffee?
No, thank you, Mr. Courtland.
It's an excruciating situation.
I guess I don't have to
tell you that.
Preparing for the worst
and hoping for the best.
I've seen many cases
very similar to this.
They all ended up with the successful
return of the hostages...
and the apprehension
of the kidnappers.
It's just a matter of intelligence
and calm nerves.
Just try to leave this as much
as possible to us, Mr. Courtland.
There's nothing you can really do.
I'm willing to pay the money.
The money isn't important.
That's the hell of it, Mr. Courtland.
These men are professionals.
If they're caught without the loot,
they give up.
If they got the money in hand,
we may have a very dangerous fight.
Are you sure?
Absolutely.
It is, of course,
finally your decision.
