I'm searching to see if I can

find my God

I'm trying to learn

how to appreciate life

And practise the art of inner peace

Now you believe all that

is a crock of sh*t

- I do.

- You're right

All except the "I'm not available".

I'm not

Alright, I guess I can understand that

Well now, tell me, how did you find me?

I asked

Tell me, how's that 19 yr old

French beauty?

That 19 year old beauty is 29

and she lives in Paris

- She left you?

- Yes

She's Emile's mother She sees him

once or twice a year

I haven't see her since he was two

He goes to boarding school in Kent

What would I do with him full-time?

I love him. He's a wonderful boy

Weekends and holidays are my greatest

moments of my life

I'm taking him skiing for Christmas

3 weeks, leaving December 13th

- December 13th...

- I can't wait

Anyway, enough about me!

How's Jenny?

She died

- 3 years ago.

- How?

Some kind of bone cancer,

in a month she was dead

- I'm sorry.

- So am I. She was a good woman

- She was great Allen...

- The subject is closed

OK:

What's done is done

Come on, tell me, how are the kids?

They're alright. Grown up

Don't see them much any more

I think they're not too happy with me

These are beautiful

Yes, they are, aren't they?

I buy them, sell them...

I'm getting pretty good at it

They earn about 15,000 a year

- Julius Limbani is alive.

- I don't care

Yes you do

If there's one African leader you

do care about, it's Julius Limbani

Now I'm telling you, Allen I'm

finished with all of that

I'm getting too old.

By the way, so are you

You know, apart from your

charming personality

and the fact that you're the

finest planner I've ever known

What I've always admired about you,

Rafer, is your idealism

Bollocks

The money wasn't important to you

It was the bad guys

against the good guys

And you were never with the bad guys

Now me, I'd work for anybody,

as long as they paid me

It's an ineradicable flaw in my life

And that's why you've always

impressed me, Rafer, always

I'm glad to hear you say that

Do you know how many times

I've been wrong?

Out there somewhere

singing "Hallelujah!"

fighting and killing for

some god-damn saviour

who as soon as he's got in power

gets to steal his own treasure?

I don't know who the

good guys are any more

You know Limbani

You know he's the best there is

I have a contract to steal Limbani from

General Ndofa

If I don't do it, he dies

If I do, well, perhaps he's running

the country again

I need you, Rafer

The answer's still no

Now, we don't start training in

Africa until January 15th

So I can spare you your holiday with

your child

There's a very big pay-cheque, tax-free
