but I'm perfectly capable

of taking care of myself.

I congratulate you, Chief,

on your excellent facilities.

Of course you understand

that my visit here must be

of the utmost secrecy?

Of course. My department

will do everything possible

to assist you.

However, there is

one question...

that only you can answer.

Oui?

Does Sir Charles Litton

have a swimming "peul"?

A swimming "peul"?

Back before you know it.

Take care.

Now what identity

will you travel under?

Well, I shall be, uh,

dreary old

Sir Charles Litton

leaving the country-

and, um,

fearless, dashing,

young Dr. Marvin Tanney...

arriving in Lugash.

Hmm.

Watch it!

I have the report here.

Someone has trifled

with your brakes.

The underworld

will stop at nothing.

This is the second

attempt on my life.

I may have caught

my death of pneumon-

Gesundheit.

I have fixed your doorbell

from the ringing.

There is no charge.

Thank you.

What do you want?

I am from a telephone company.

There is something the matter

with your "pheun."

My "pheun"?

What?

You said there's something

the matter with my "pheun."

Yes.

My "phone"?

That is correct, yes.

That is what I've been saying.

There's no trouble with

the telephones here.

I know when there is trouble

and when there is not trouble.

And I can definitely tell you

that there is trouble.

You may rest assured of that.

Since when?

Since it was reported.

I see.

What is the trouble

with the telephone?

If I knew that I could simply

call you up and tell you

what the trouble is.

What's the trouble?

This man says we have trouble

with our telephones.

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Emile Flournoy,

communications expert

and chief troubleshooter

for the Nice telephone company.

Oh, please come in,

monsieur.

Now what can we do

to help you?

Which is your nearest phone?

- There.

- What? Ah, yes.

Hmm. Yes.

This phone will not do at all.

Show me another phone.

It won't do at all, I'm afraid.

Show Monsieur Flou-

Flournoy.

Flournoy the telephone

in Sir Charles's study.

I hope you locate

the trouble, monsieur.

Madame, it is my business

to locate trouble.

No trouble back there.

If you require anything-

Monsieur, all I require is a phone,

my little bag of tools,

and some privacy

in which to work.

That is all I require.

Take that phone, but don't

pick it up until I tell you.

Raymond?

S.

I'm taking the 5:00

plane to Switzerland.

Have you got that?

S. Switzerland.

Have you got

the merchandise?

S.

Good. I'll see you

tomorrow...

at the Palace Hotel

in Gstaad.

- S.

- Good-bye.

S. Good-bye.

Inspector?

Do not come in.

Do not come in.

I am making final delicate

adjustments to the phone.
