who are you and what are you doing here?
really? and you thought if you simply showed up i might give it to you?
the penny drops. you are not job. yes, job is not given to quoting scripture in his communications. and there was its tone -- aggressive but playful. job is not playful. so you're something of a paradox.
on what?
it's quite out of the question.
and how might you know that? are you another company man?
ah, but, we're asking about you.
why, may i ask?
i don't know job any more than he knows me.
why should i?
it's easy to say the disk is worthless when you say i can't look at the information and see if it's worthless. not a tenable position, sir.
mm - hmmm.
very good.
that's not so good for you, my friend.
doesn't mean it's a signal. could just be the hard drive heating up.
oh dear, gunther will never let me use one of his apartments again. phew, sorry i doubted you, dear boy. you're a good sport. do accept the compliment.
i don't have to tell you what a comfort anonymity can be in my profession -- like a warm blanket. my deal with job was subject to a successful boot scan. obviously it didn't pass muster. deal's off.
six million dollars. i'll give you the same. but i want the complete list now, not just eastern europe. i won't do this piecemeal, it's too dangerous. i want the entire list, the true name of every non-official cover agent throughout the world.
done. bring it to me in london. i want it by the end of the week.
how will you make sure i'll have the list in three days? it's been a delight. now where can i drop you dear boy?
i'm going to have to front you personally. don't lose that money without losing your life.
how long until we reach the chunnel?
this wasnt what we discussed.
ha, dear boy! i do hope this doesnt prelude a meeting in private.
the possibility alone is worth ten million. baggage car, rack 3. silver briefcase. combination 314.
i wouldnt worry about him. once youve got the money -- hell find you.
hes in the baggage car.
whats the problem.
try it again.
is something wrong with the phone? well is something wrong with the batteries?
run it through from the top.
phew! weve got five minutes.
damn!
my lawyers will have a field day with this. entrapment, jurisdictional conflicts --
i'm sure we can find something i have that you need.
