The Thomas Crown Affair Page #4

Synopsis: Self-made billionaire Thomas Crown is bored of being able to buy everything he desires. Being irresistible to women, he also does not feel any challenge in that area. But there are a few things even he can't get, therefore Thomas Crown has a seldom hobby: He steals priceless masterpieces of Art. After the theft of a famous painting from Claude Monet, the only person suspecting Thomas Crown is Catherine Banning. Her job is to get the picture back, no matter how she accomplishes her mission. Unfortunately, Catherine gets involved too deeply with Thomas to keep a professional distance to the case. Fortunately, Thomas seems to fall for her, too.

What, are we channeling now?

How long you been doing this?

A while.

- Where? In Europe?

- And other places.

You're a real self-promoter.

Give me a for instance.

- How many legs?

- What?

The bench.

Two.

You still have that tape up?

Great. Back it up to

the morning part of the tape.

Stop.

Hello.

Jesus.

So they bring this thing in

earlier in the day. What's in it?

It could be a heater.

- What?

- In the briefcase, on a timer.

Bring the temperature up

ten more degrees.

You ever eat?

Lunch, for instance?

You like pizza?

I know a great place we could stop.

I'm on London time.

And pizza's not your thing.

What's the matter, Lieutenant?

Did she leave you for a stockbroker?

It's Detective, First Grade.

And he was a urologist.

Can I drop you someplace?

At your hotel?

One, I keep an apartment here,

and two, I'm going to your office.

She keeps an apartment.

I keep goldfish.

Hello there, little lady.

How are you doing?

- Detective.

- They don't seem to be Russian.

Tadross thinks maybe Romanian.

- The witness is here.

- Right.

Come on in.

Number four.

You're sure?

I'm sure.

- Would you mind indicating that here?

- Certainly.

Just check it off.

And if you could sign down here, please.

These gentlemen will take you out,

finish the paperwork.

- Appreciate it.

- Thank you very much.

We're gonna go beat up the Romanians.

Thank you, thank you.

Wait a minute.

I'm gonna go get some coffee.

- That sums it up, gentlemen.

- And you'd be willing to testify?

Absolutely.

I have to tell you, people like this,

they might have friends.

You realize they might try

to make it ugly for a witness.

I understand, gentlemen,

and I guess I'll take my chances.

We'll nail these jokers.

I can't imagine somebody thinking

they'd get away with a thing like this.

They say anything yet?

Not in English. They're still

trying to find somebody to translate.

- Let me try.

- Do not tell me you speak Romanian.

God, who would ever bother

with Romanian?

Give me the quiet one.

They do speak English.

It was a prepackaged robbery.

He picked them up in Little Odessa.

They were given timetables, electrical...

Who's "he"?

You don't think they know,

do you?

I mean, there were intermediaries. They

never saw his face or heard his voice.

One-time hires.

That's why they failed.

What makes you think they failed?

Oh, maybe it was

a successful robbery.

Maybe they were set up to fail.

- Why?

- Diversion.

Make a lot of noise over there...

so over here in this room you can

take a hundred million off the wall...

and waltz right out the front door.

- Oh, that's good.

- Doesn't matter.

As soon as he tries to sell it,
