Kaleidoscope (1966) Movie Script
1
Push it in then.
Push your choke in.
You're flooding the engine.
Can't you drive this thing?
Push the choke...
get down there
and push the choke in.
I'm terribly sorry.
You bully!
Bobby! Bobby!
Look! Get...
Push the choke in, lady.
Push it in.
Push the choke in.
Put it in there.
Get it started, then.
Oh.
Hey!
I'll have this.
Thank you,
sir.
Hmm, very nice book.
Violets for your furs,
madam.
Like the song.
Like the song.
Thank you
very much.
Do you like
Napoleon?
I've always been mad
about him.
Napoleon?
Can't pronounce
any of the latest countries.
Thank you
for the flowers.
They're lovely.
Madam.
The violets were lovely.
Thank you.
If you're going to be
obscene,
you'll have to make it
diamonds.
I saw you eviscerate
that truck.
Did you?
Yes.
Thanks.
Listen,
want to have dinner
with me tonight?
I'm going on holiday
in the morning.
I didn't ask you
for breakfast.
What about dinner
tonight?
Where?
Anywhere.
Name a place.
That way I'll know
a lot about you.
Then I'll know
whether to accept.
The Mirabelle.
You're not my type.
Just think you are.
Canabelle?
Don't be so Mayfair.
I'm not like that.
Give me a hint.
Like what?
Well, your name.
Angel mcginnis,
and I'm not married.
We'll drive out
to surrey,
and we'll have beer
and sausages.
I live in flask walk,
hampstead.
Next door
to the herbologist.
7:00.
I'll do as I'm told.
Listen,
I'll bring diamonds.
Funny,
you don't look obscene.
I'm not obscene.
I'm just generous
to a fault.
Me, too.
How lovely.
Yeah, lovely.
I absolutely adore
traveling.
I always wanted
to take a boat
and sail to salamanca
and tangiers
and all the thousand islands.
Do you have a name?
Just answer yes or no.
Yes.
Are you married
at the moment?
No.
Then what's your name?
Barney Lincoln.
You're splendidly gorgeous,
you know.
Thank you.
Mother thought so.
Do I remind you
of your mother?
Nor my father.
How super.
I expect you think
I'm just an ordinary pickup.
That's right,
Irving.
I'm rather well-connected,
actually.
Just thought
you ought to know.
To your connection.
My connections.
I'm going to be away
a couple of weeks,
but when I get back,
I'd take it kindly
if you'd let me call.
Oh, no.
You came out of nowhere
in a bright red sport car
with no mummy
and no daddy.
I'd hate to learn
that you were real.
We can take it
in stages.
Mm-mmm. That would
spoil everything.
Shazam!
Monte Carlo. Cinq cent
cinquante-huit.
Londres, monte Carlo.
Cinq cent quarante-six.
Doucement, doucement.
Estoril. Londres.
Monte Carlo.
Londres.
Estoril.
Monte Carlo.
Londres.
Monte Carlo.
Ace, king, 3, 4, 7.
Ace, king, 3, 4, 7.
6, 9, Jack, deuce, 3.
6, 9, Jack, deuce, 3.
Yes, straight.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Well, we're going to be
very rich
and live
happily ever after.
I can't tell you
what a help
this has been
to my research
project.
I've never seen
such beautiful
slides
of the tlupea
harengus.
That one. Yes.
Or the roccus
saxatilis.
Marvelous.
And that's not
even to mention
the protopterus
aethiopicus.
I'm so glad
you like us.
We're a little museum,
actually, totally
without pretension,
but we like to feel
our slide collection
is rather daring.
Ha ha ha ha.
Well, it left me
breathless.
Listen, there's
a nasty fellow.
Oh, yes.
Kill, kill, kill.
You know, that's really
all he likes to do.
Mmm. Naughty little
pristis antiquorum.
Ha ha ha.
He certainly
is a big one,
no doubt about that.
Will you be back
this afternoon?
Ah. No. Today's session
about wraps it up.
Tell your director
that I thank you both
very much
and that if
my thesis succeeds,
I owe you
a great debt.
No. It's been lovely
having you, Professor.
So few people
visit us,
we sometimes
forget we exist.
Ha ha.
Ha ha.
How sweet.
Uh.
Oh.
Ciao.
Ciao.
Bonjour.
Dites-moi,
qu'est-ce que
c'est...
Kaleidoscope?
Playing cards.
Oh?
Bonsoir.
Bonsoir.
Vous avez un banco?
Bien sur, monsieur.
Il contient trente mille

Voulez-vous changer...
A votre service,
monsieur.
How are you, Sam?
Really in love this
time, huh? Charmed.
A mettre au jeu.
Cinq mille francs

Oh!

Euh, dix-huit.
Dix-huit.

Quatre. A LA banque.
You followed me.
Did you follow me?
You followed me
first.
I never followed...
The tea shop.
But I gave you violets.
There's a difference,
you know.
And I bring you...
Diamonds.
You trying
to compromise me,
lady?
Absolutely.
Good girl. Come on,
we'll have a drink.
No, thanks.
I'll just nibble
at your champagne.
What you going
to do?
You mean
when I grow up
or now?
I don't care
what people do
when they grow up.
We'll think
of something.
Come here.

Daddy.
It's me... angel.
I'm having
a lovely time,
thanks.
I've got you
a present.
Very beautiful.
Exactly what you want.
It's a Lincoln.
I don't believe
you're a career girl.
I design kinky clothes
for baby-faced girls from...
What do you
really do?
I design kinky clothes
for baby-faced
Chelsea girls
who like to show off
their pretty little knees.
Well, I can't see
your pretty
little knees.
We could be doing this
anywhere else
in the whole world.
Why did we have to
come all the way
to France?
If we hadn't come,
we wouldn't have met
again.
Good thinking.
Of course,
if we hadn't come
all this way...
We'd probably be doing
exactly the same thing
somewhere else,
only with
different people.
Is that a...
Purely hypothetical
thought?
Purely.
Mmm. Very risqu.
Well, you know
what they say
about English girls.
Mmm. True.
You won pots of money
at the casino.
I was very impressed.
It was pots,
wasn't it?
Pots.
Then I'm obviously
lucky for you.
A rabbit's foot.
Mm-hmm.
Will you stay here
and win more?
Hmm-mmm. I'll go
someplace else
and win more.
Where?
Mmm... I'll...
Go to...
The Italian lakes...
Estoril,
baden-baden,
Nassau.
You'll lose without
your rabbit's foot.
You're fickle.
I thought you were
hung up on Napoleon.
Napoleon who?
Mmm.
Mmm. It's me again,
Manny.
He's off to Italy today.
Mmm. That's right.
Oh, I'll think
of something.
Buona sera.
Buona sera.
Grazie.
Oh, grazie.
Grazie mille.
If I went and sat
in one of those
comfy chairs,
would you bring me
a cup of tea?
My pleasure is to be
at your pleasure,
signorina.
I beg your pardon.
You're English,
aren't you?
You asked
the Porter for tea.
May I join you?
I've been playing
so long,
I long to sit one out.
Yes, of course.
Do sit.
If you ask
that waiter nicely,
I'm sure
he'll bring you
the times crossword.
If you'd stop
thinking of me
as a faded British
caricature,
we'd enjoy each other
so much more.
Isn't it nice of me
to share my discovery?
Mm-hmm.
Which one is he?
The one I came in with.
I'll go
and watch him play.
Manny, I don't mean
to be prickly.
No, I know you don't.
But then...
We don't really talk
the same language
anymore, do we?
No. We don't.
But we try every
now and again just
once in a while.
Don't get him hurt.
People around you seem
to get hurt sometimes.
And I don't want that.
Good heavens,
what an extraordinary idea.
I must go and watch
your Mr. Lincoln.
And thank you for getting
in touch with me.
Things may work out
very neatly after all.
For whom?
For me.
Isn't that why
you brought this man
to my attention?
You're looking very charming
this evening.
Carte.
Carte.
Neuf. A LA banque.
Deux.
Carte?
Carte.
No.

Neuf a LA banque.

Neuf LA ponte.

Neuf LA ponte.
Six.
You know,
you puzzle me.
Lucky streaks
don't last forever,
and you always
quit so soon.
It's funny. I can't
sustain my interest
in some things.
Barney?
Hmm?
Barney,
are you awake?
Mm-hmm.
I mean really awake?
I want to talk to you.
Do I detect
a new note in your
cheerful bird song?
I hope not.
That would be dreary, and
being dreary embarrasses me.
What is it,
miss mcginnis?
Is your vacation
getting you down?
My vacation's lovely,
thank you.
A bit different
than the one I planned.
Much more sexy,
lovely.
You see, I've never
eaten roast larks before,
sat on a black cow...
I haven't finished.
I'm making a speech.
I certainly never meant
to get involved...
Damn! Why did you give
me those lousy violets?
None of it would have
happened if you hadn't.
I loathe violets.
I adored you for that.
You're building up
to a scene.
Surprising.
You're not the type.
That's a stupid
thing to say,
and you know it.
I'm simply trying
to explain to you
something about me,
about my instincts
and things.
Instincts?
Yes.
They're not very clear,
a bit all over the place,
but they're mine,
and I trust them.
That's why I loved
your ugly purple flowers,
why I'm with you now,
why I'm going.
Stop acting
like a little girl.
I'll thump you if
you say rotten, stupid
things to me.
I'm going back to London.
You can't.
You're my rabbit's foot.
No, I'm not.
Shut your eyes and
start counting to 100.
Never tell yourself
I didn't really exist.
I think
you're serious.
Yes, I am.
Start counting.
Count!
1, 2,
3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8,
9, 10...
Danke.
It does not make you
happy to win money?
What'd you say?
32,000.
You asked for pounds?
Good.
You have been in deauville
before, monsieur Lincoln,
but it was
a long time ago,
am I not right?
You have a good memory.
Yes. I'm perfect.
Then suppose you
tell me
what time the first
plane leaves for London.
8:30.
You will be early.
If you say so.
Bonjour,
monsieur Lincoln.
Isn't it
awfully boring
winning all evening?
I can't take
the excitement of losing.
Mr. Lincoln?
Tony Anderson.
Oh, yeah.
You deserve a drink.
Care to join me?
Sure, sure.
Uh, I got to...
Jean, tell Louis
to change the plaques.
Shall we
go to my office?
It's the first time
it's happened at my tables.
To your health, sir.
We should
be drinking to
the poor devil
who held the bank
against you.
I like how
you pay your winners.
To your health, sir.
Oh, come in.
Thank you,
gentlemen.
Your winnings,
sir.
Our receipt.
Ah, my pleasure.
Well, that's that,
I guess, huh?
Not quite, Mr. Lincoln.
Who is this?
Immanuel mcginnis,
new Scotland yard.
Tomorrow morning,
10:00.
Do try to be punctual.
You won't disappoint me,
will you?
What if I did?
That would be very rude.
Oh.
All right.
Promise?
You want me to
cross my heart,
darling?
That would
be charming. Ha.
Tomorrow morning,
then.
10:00, my place.
Good night,
Tony, dear.
Good night.
Hey, uh,
where's, uh...
Listen, uh, could you...
Could you...
Uh...
No time.
Inspector mcginnis?
Mr. Lincoln?
You're very hard
to find, inspector.
Good morning, Mr. Lincoln.
Do come in.
I found it, miss Albert,
and, uh, tea for two, huh?
Uh, excuse me.
You needn't be
alarmed, Mr. Lincoln.
I'm not going
to arrest you.
Never dreamed
you were.
Oh, really?
Ah, tea.
Thank you,
miss Albert.
Milk and sugar?
No, neither.
I would like
to ask a question.
Before tea?
One of our more...
Acceptable British customs,
don't you think?
Inspector mcginnis,
you wouldn't be related
to a certain
miss angel mcginnis,
would you?
My daughter.
She brought you
to my attention.
Later, she regretted
having done so.
Daughter?
I can't find him
anywhere, sir.
He's here, aimes.
Oh, Mr. Lincoln.
This is my assistant,
Mr. Lincoln.
That'll do, aimes.
I'll be on
the firing range
if you need me, sir.
Another member
of the family, right?
Don't ask.
Now, by way of background,
my interests are
not primarily concerned
with gambling.
The department
I'm in charge of
deals with homicide,
extortion, narcotics,
and related pastimes
as practiced by britons
at home and abroad.
It's a constant irritant
to my national pride
to realize how busy
this keeps me.
I'm going to
offer you a job,
one I hope you
won't find too tedious,
one which you
might even enjoy.
Are you interested?
Well, my time is
your time, inspector.
Like the song.
Like the song.
How best to
get this started?
Ah, yes.
In 1925, there
was born in London
an ambitious lad
of nimble brain
and no means
by the name
of Harry.
I shan't bore you
with the details
of his early career.
Suffice it to say
that real opportunity
presented itself
with the coming of
the second world war.
Well, if you were British,
you'd remember
a wartime scandal
involving
the disappearance
of a fortune
in morphine.
And although his name
kept cropping up during
the investigation,
Harry left the service
with nothing more serious
than a tarnished reputation.
There are those,
and I am one,
who believe he also left
with about 500,000 sterling,
deposited
in Swiss bank accounts.
You must take that
as wicked gossip.
I hope I haven't
lost your interest,
Mr. Lincoln.
Is Harry going to
turn out to be you?
Wouldn't that be fun?
After the war,
as Harry dominion,
he ran little
business ventures
on the continent.
Extraordinarily successful
little ventures,
which have provided him
with enough capital
to buy an old London
gaming club.
He calls it,
with elegant simplicity,
dominion.
Do you know the place?
That's a description
of the man.
Legal in every respect.
Of course, if I were
to listen to gossip...
Let's. You're having
such a good time.
Gossip has it
that Mr. dominion
also runs
the largest narcotics
delivery service
in the world.
You're putting me on,
Sherlock.
That's too big
and fancy.
I wish I were.
He picks up the stuff
in China
and dumps it in Europe
and the United States.
Rakes in vast amounts
of money for his efforts.
And we don't like him.
Cut up
his tricycle tires.
I really hate him.
He's bad.
Bad, huh?
Doesn't sound dumb.
Exactly.
He's a wonderful challenge,
do you see?
That's why the business
of getting him...
Finally really getting him,
is going to be full
of interesting details.
You're going to love
your new job, Mr. Lincoln.
Wrong.
I haven't worked
in years.
Do let me finish, sir.
Dominion has gone
heavily into debt
to finance the largest
cash-and-carry scheme
of his whole career.
But he's made himself
vulnerable.
This is where
you come in.
I didn't make
myself clear.
I don't come in.
Didn't I make
myself clear
that I don't come in?
Cut.
Queen of clubs.
King of diamonds.
King of spades.
10 of diamonds.
That's good.
Uh... So?
I'm afraid this is
one hand in the game
you can't win,
Mr. Lincoln.
This file contains
a record
of all your activities
since you arrived
in Europe,
down to
the minutest detail.
There's a copy
of a hotel register
in Geneva.
A piece of a padlock.
O.K., inspector,
it's your ballgame.
What next?
Well, as I said,
dominion is in debt,
so I'm putting
financial pressure
on him.
While I squeeze
from my side,
I want you to squeeze
from the other side.
What other side?
Poker.
The man plays poker.
Every evening,
in a high-stakes game
at his own club.
And he plays poker
very, very well.
And you want me
to beat him?
I want you
to beat him.
I want you to beat him
and beat him.
I want you to drive him
to the ground
like a wicket.
I want the man ruined.
That's all?
That's all.
Then we can forget
your transgressions
up to this point.
Donate what you win
from dominion to charity,
and tell the card company
to revise the designs
on the backs
of their plates.
But, uh...
What if I lose?
My dear chap,
how can you?
Well...
Oh, what wicked gossip.
Tongues will wag.
Wait until you hear,
gentlemen.
It's too good.
I really should save it
for the Brandy.
Ah, be patient, Paul.
Be patient.
This is a classic
moment.
You will
appreciate it
if you'll just
be patient.
Billy, will you check
everyone's glass for wine?
Sir.
Thank you.
Do you like
the wine, Paul?
I picked it
with you in mind.
C'est... c'est
le travail, eh?
Ah-ah-ah-ah.
Now first...
A toast.
To... All of us.
To us.
To us.
To us.
Ho ho ho ho!
Wait till you hear.
It's absolute heaven,
it's so classic.
Are you ready?
Well...
I have just heard...
From an unimpeachable
source
that one amongst us...
Is a traitor.
Don't you love it?
Hmm? Funny?
It's hysterical.
A traitor, Johnny.
A traitor.
I don't know
how else to say it.
A police informer.
A betrayer.
It's so pure.
Will the real
Judas iscariot
please stand up?
Please come
to the point,
dominion.
Is this true
or another of
your little games?
Oh, it's velly, velly
true, Mr. han.
All right,
who is it?
That's the lovely part.
I don't know.
Until my unimpeachable
source calls back,
I have no more idea
than the rest of you.
That's what's so perfect.
Shall we guess?
You can be first.
Ce n'est pas du tout
amusant.
You don't find it
amusing, but I do.
Oh, I do, indeed.
Would you care
to have a guess, Johnny?
Oh, no, thanks.
Pity. Edmund?
Han?
Anybody?
What about you, Billy?
I hardly think
I should presume, sir.
Oh, well,
maybe I should
start the game.
Well, perhaps
the traitor is...
Me?
Oh.
I wish we could have
played longer.
Will we?
Won't we?
Will we?
Won't we?
Will we join
the dance?
Answer it!
Thank you, Paul.
Yes?
Merci.
Who would have thought?
Billy, you can
take the phone away.
And you might call Eddie.
Sir.
Will you excuse me
for a moment, gentlemen?
Uh, Johnny, will you
join me for a moment?
Eddie?
Dominion wants you.
Do you want
some water?
You liked the wine,
didn't you?
Yeah.
Marvelous.
Paul didn't.
What exactly
did he do?
Paul?
Nothing.
What's the matter,
Johnny...
Feeling cold?
And then there were eight.
You've been
most understanding.
We'll be in touch
with you before long.
Let me know
if you have any questions.
I've got a question.
Uh... Angel...
Is, uh...
She a member
of the police force?
Good lord, no.
That would be chaos.
No, she just gave
her doddering old daddy
a present.
Something she knew
he'd like.
Oh, Mr. Lincoln.
My turn now.
From your history,
and of course
I've checked,
you have
no criminal record.
You're independently
wealthy.
A gambler, investor,
and that sort of thing,
but you're not
a criminal.
Would you mind telling me
why you went
to so much trouble
just to win at cards?
You promise
not to tell?
Mm-hmm.
Well, once the idea
occurred to me,
it was absolutely
irresistible.
I suppose so.
And, uh, inspector.
Hmm?
You're an unusual
father.
So I've been told.
Goodbye, Mr. Lincoln.
Do you think he can
beat dominion, sir?
Oh, yes.
Is there likely
to be any trouble?
Not for Mr. Lincoln.
Does it make me
look fat?
I think you look super.
Really? You think?
Marvelous.
O.K. I'll take it.
Thanks.
Aah! Barney!
I'll wait.
I'll wait.
But...
Go.
It's 20 guineas.
Do you want to
pay or charge?
I've never seen 20 guineas
in one place.
Charge it.
Thank you very much.
Bye.
Before you
get started on me,
I want to explain.
You've seen Manny.
Manny?
If he's your father,
why not call him daddy
like other kids do?
I don't see
what that's got
to do with anything.
You've set me up,
given me an option
on a prison cell...
You're right,
it doesn't.
Call him
the easter bunny.
I've just got
some questions,
and give me
yes or no answers.
1... did you turn me
into the police?
Yes, but it's not fair
asking questions you know.
Did you do it
when we met
in London?
No.
Nice? Cannes?
No.
Monte Carlo?
Monte car...
Why?
Well, I'd never seen
anybody who gambled
so beautifully before.
Did your daddy tell you
what he wanted me for?
No. He just wanted to meet
a beautiful cards player.
I thought that you...
Did you 86 me
because he asked you to?
Dump? Walk out on me.
No, of course not.
And are you still part
of his little project?
No.
Will you believe me
if I tell you
it doesn't matter?
Could we possibly
have some tea
and discuss your
inconsistencies
alone?
Can I ask you
something?
Is it a good one?
You're in love
with me?
That's right.
Right.
Oh, I say.
Oh, I say.
Aimes?
Sir.
Mm-hmm.
Bring Mr. Lincoln in,
will you?
Oh, yes, sir.
And, aimes...
Do it quietly,
won't you?
Oh, yes, sir.
Let's go.
Get in the car.
Go on, get in.
Get in.
That's it. Good.
Mcginnis!
Mcginnis!
Mcginnis!
Come on!
Mcginnis!
Grab his feet.
Come on!
Mcginnis!
Mcginnis!
I got him, sir.
That'll do, gentlemen.
Mcginnis, if I ever lay eyes
on this little creep again,
the whole thing's off.
You can play games,
but Barney Lincoln
doesn't play.
Run along
to the rifle range, aimes.
We'll talk later.
Right, sir.
You let this twit loose
with real bullets?
He's a brilliant shot.
What a distorted outfit.
I beg your pardon?
Nothing.
What's the emergency?
Tonight's the night.
What night?
For you to meet
dominion.
All right.
I'll start tonight.
And finish.
Stop being
a surrealist.
It'll take time.
Something's come up.
If I do it in one night,
he'll know.
That's a chance
I'm prepared to take.
Bully for you, pally.
Look, Mr. Lincoln,
I have you in a vice.
I could squeeze you
until there's nothing left.
I choose not to do so
because you're useful to me.
Do I make myself clear?
The game starts at 9:30
in the salle privee.
Make arrangements to play.
I don't think
they know me.
I'm sure you can get in
if you try.
Evening, sir.
Lincoln.
Barney Lincoln.
An introduction
was arranged by
lord kleiman.
Yes, sir. You're expected.
You and...
Constant companion.
The salle privee, sir?
Barney, it's lovely.
Thank you
for bringing me.
The salle privee, sir.
Could you get me
some plaques?
Certainly.
I think that you should
stick to roulette.
But...
Queens fold.
Hand to
Mr. giordi.
Mr. Lincoln.
Ah, Mr. Lincoln!
We'd begun to despair.
I'm Harry dominion.
Place number 5.
This is Edward kelp,
Alfredo giordi,

Peter Leeds,
and Freddie Dawson.
And this is Billy.

the way out.
My lord.
So hard to be
young and rich
all at the same time.
Queens over 10s.
Hand to Mr. Lincoln.
You must excuse me,
gentlemen.
I'm called away.
Continue without me.
I shall be back shortly.
Vivre I'empereur.
Merci, mademoiselle.
I didn't realize
I had any fans left.
Since I was 11.
How nice.
All right,
who's the clever bastard?
Barney Lincoln.
American.
Bonafide.
Does he cheat?
The mustafa syndicate
says no.
They checked him out
after he took 50,000
from monte Carlo.
Even sent velasquez
to Italy
to watch him play.
Nothing.
Where's he from?
New York, Nevada,
the Caribbean,
all over.
Known as a good,
solid card player.
Not flashy.
Young,
but not flashy.
Well, he's very flashy
tonight.
Very.
He had a girl with him.
She's here.
Where?
The one
you just spoke to.
She's killing time
waiting for him,
I'd say.
Interesting.
Anything else?
He's carrying a note
on a midland bank
for 250,000.
Endorsed it for 50,000
when he came in.
For plaques.
O.K.
Bon soir, Josephine.
What's a pretty child
like you
doing amongst all these
grownup delinquents?
Isn't it funny
how they like losing?
I like them losing.
I own the club.
You really are
incredibly like him.
A bit taller, perhaps.
Um...
What happens in there?
That's where the real
delinquents play.
How lovely.
Let's add loveliness
to loveliness.
Hand to
Mr. Lincoln.
Gentlemen, may I introduce
my rabbit's foot?
Captain, would you see
that the lovely lady
gets a comfortable chair?
Wasn't there a house rule
that no women...
There was. I just had
a board meeting
and changed it.
Now then, gentlemen,
I'd like to propose
a change of stakes.
Would that be
all right with you,
Mr. Lincoln?
What do you have in mind?
No limit.
Oh, my!
The table limit
is 20,000.
It was.
Edward?
Yes, all right.
Seor giordi?
Very interesting.
Very interesting.
Sorry to lose you,
Mr. Dawson.
Well, Billy.
Nice to see you,
Freddie.
Give Mr. Leeds.
Good night.
Uh, more cards,
please.
Very good, sir.
Wake up, Willie.
I want some cards.
They eating them?
These are for
the salle privee.
Himself.
LA Dee da.
You ain't half
a sloppy devil.
Hurry up, will you?
I haven't got
all night.
Hand me that crowbar, mate.
I've got to break out
a new crate.
Willie,
what you doing?
I'm filing me nails.
Only there's an open
box of cards down there.
They're all dusty.
Ain't we grand?
Mr. dominion has the deal.
Something wrong,
Mr. Lincoln?
No.
Stud.
Five card stud poker.
I can't understand it.
I was terribly good
in front of Mr. Lincoln.
Do you ever clean this?
Did you have a good
annual dinner, sir?
Dreadful, as usual.
I suppose management thinks
just because people
are interested
in steam engines,
they never notice food.
I'll take two.
Thank you.
Just a minute.
I'll bet 5.
I just wonder
how it's going.
I hope he's having
better luck than I am.
Your bet.
Oh, yes.
Cover the 5,
and, um...
Raise you 10, sir.
Do you think
it was right
miss mcginnis
going along tonight?
There's nothing
I can do about it.
Anyway, Lincoln knows
she mustn't be told
of this affair.
Yes, but...
Dominion doesn't know her.
The place is surrounded
with policemen.
They'll telephone
if anything happens.
We must just be patient.
I'll... See you.
Well, play the game,
aimes.
Hand to Mr. Leeds.

Pardon, pardon.
Ooh, Barney...
Midland bank.
Hand to Mr. Lincoln.
Va-tout.
Can't you ever lose?
Hey, uh, haven't seen
my girl, have you?
Blonde girl.
She left a few minutes ago
with Mr. dominion.
You're to meet them later
at his home for a party.
Wait, wait, wait.
Where's home?
Oh, knotting hill gate,
sir, with my mother...
Not yours, Evelyn,
his.
Oh, Mr. dominion.
He has a rather splendid home,
like a castle.
It's in the country
near boggs-on-slyly.
Boggs-on-what?
Thank you, Billy.
Welcome to
my country cottage.
It's small,
but we love it.
Don't move
or make a sound
or I shan't be able
to control the dog, sir.
How lovely.
Look, no hands.
So soon, Mr. Lincoln,
you must have flown
on the wings of Eros.
We're having
a cup of tea.
Do join us, Mr. Lincoln.
Oh, how lovely.
Thank you.
Scones or sticky buns,
Mr. Lincoln?
Oh, uh,
sticky buns.
They're absolutely
delicious.
Isn't she lovely?
Oh, this is fun.
It's almost like a party.
Won't you sit down,
Mr. Lincoln?
There's a small matter
I'd like to discuss with you.
Perhaps the lady
would like a tour.
Eddie, show the lovely lady
the seashell collection
or the suits
of iberian armor.
No. You must see
the napoleona.
Oh, that would be lovely.
And, Eddie, you can close
the dogs in now.
It's almost daylight.
Yes, Mr. dominion.
Well...
Now that, uh,
we're alone,
what do you want?
Mr. Lincoln, I find myself
in a temporary financial
embarrassment.
I require a loan.
Anything for a friend.
How much?
All.
Everything I won
from you?
And everything I would have
won from you. All.
Your money or your life.
And the young lady's life,
too.
Do you, uh,
have a pen?
Huh?
Sir.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Uhh!
We play poker my way now,
Mr. Lincoln.
I'm afraid we shall
have to curtail the tour.
Would you get the car?
Yes, sir.
Has something happened?
I think your friend
needs you.
What do you mean?
I'm afraid he's met
his Waterloo.
Barney.
Barney!
Barney, Barney,
what's happened?
Speak up. Talk to me.
Leave it running
and get Billy.
Yes, sir.
Hey, Billy.
Where's Lincoln
and the girl?
But you said
fetch Billy.
Give me that.
Get up, lovely lady.
He can't walk.
Then he can crawl.
Aah!
Are you all right, sir?
Twit.
The terrace, Billy.
Right.
I hate guns.
Oh, you bastard!
And I don't like
fighting.
How does living grab you?
Ahh. Eddie.
Yes, sir.
Get the car.
Yes, sir.
Now run, will you?
I am.
How powerful
is our car, Eddie?
About 350 horsepower.
350 horses against
two breathless children.
350 horses.
Well.
Eddie,
feed those horses now.
Harry dominion.
My name is
immanuel mcginnis,
new Scotland yard.
Come with me.
I was coming
to give his money back.
Do you usually
deliver money
at the point of a gun?
You have a point.
I think you'll find
we have several points
to discuss.
Shall we go in your car
or shall we go in mine?
Perhaps we'd better go
in mine.
Morning, lovely lady.
Incidentally,
you owe me a chauffeur.
Well done, aimes.
Oh, thank you, sir.
I thought your timing
rather super.
You two all right?
Yes.
Can I give you a lift
back to town?
Uh-uh.
Manny, that was
about the nicest thing
you've ever done for me.
Well, better late
than never, I suppose.
I suppose.
Interesting father.
Guess what.
Uh, we're getting
married.
You guessed it.
I wish
we didn't have to be
like everyone else.
I mean, I do
love you completely.
It's the inevitability
somehow.
Is living in sin
actually a crime?
It's frowned upon.
By who?
In this case, by me.
Where are you going,
Barney?
Well, we're going
to tangier, salamanca,
all the thousand
islands.
Guadalupe, new Mexico,
kashmir.
Push it in then.
Push your choke in.
You're flooding the engine.
Can't you drive this thing?
Push the choke...
get down there
and push the choke in.
I'm terribly sorry.
You bully!
Bobby! Bobby!
Look! Get...
Push the choke in, lady.
Push it in.
Push the choke in.
Put it in there.
Get it started, then.
Oh.
Hey!
I'll have this.
Thank you,
sir.
Hmm, very nice book.
Violets for your furs,
madam.
Like the song.
Like the song.
Thank you
very much.
Do you like
Napoleon?
I've always been mad
about him.
Napoleon?
Can't pronounce
any of the latest countries.
Thank you
for the flowers.
They're lovely.
Madam.
The violets were lovely.
Thank you.
If you're going to be
obscene,
you'll have to make it
diamonds.
I saw you eviscerate
that truck.
Did you?
Yes.
Thanks.
Listen,
want to have dinner
with me tonight?
I'm going on holiday
in the morning.
I didn't ask you
for breakfast.
What about dinner
tonight?
Where?
Anywhere.
Name a place.
That way I'll know
a lot about you.
Then I'll know
whether to accept.
The Mirabelle.
You're not my type.
Just think you are.
Canabelle?
Don't be so Mayfair.
I'm not like that.
Give me a hint.
Like what?
Well, your name.
Angel mcginnis,
and I'm not married.
We'll drive out
to surrey,
and we'll have beer
and sausages.
I live in flask walk,
hampstead.
Next door
to the herbologist.
7:00.
I'll do as I'm told.
Listen,
I'll bring diamonds.
Funny,
you don't look obscene.
I'm not obscene.
I'm just generous
to a fault.
Me, too.
How lovely.
Yeah, lovely.
I absolutely adore
traveling.
I always wanted
to take a boat
and sail to salamanca
and tangiers
and all the thousand islands.
Do you have a name?
Just answer yes or no.
Yes.
Are you married
at the moment?
No.
Then what's your name?
Barney Lincoln.
You're splendidly gorgeous,
you know.
Thank you.
Mother thought so.
Do I remind you
of your mother?
Nor my father.
How super.
I expect you think
I'm just an ordinary pickup.
That's right,
Irving.
I'm rather well-connected,
actually.
Just thought
you ought to know.
To your connection.
My connections.
I'm going to be away
a couple of weeks,
but when I get back,
I'd take it kindly
if you'd let me call.
Oh, no.
You came out of nowhere
in a bright red sport car
with no mummy
and no daddy.
I'd hate to learn
that you were real.
We can take it
in stages.
Mm-mmm. That would
spoil everything.
Shazam!
Monte Carlo. Cinq cent
cinquante-huit.
Londres, monte Carlo.
Cinq cent quarante-six.
Doucement, doucement.

Yes, straight.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Well, we're going to be
very rich
and live
happily ever after.
I can't tell you
what a help
this has been
to my research
project.
I've never seen
such beautiful
slides
of the tlupea
harengus.
That one. Yes.
Or the roccus
saxatilis.
Marvelous.
And that's not
even to mention
the protopterus
aethiopicus.
I'm so glad
you like us.
We're a little museum,
actually, totally
without pretension,
but we like to feel
our slide collection
is rather daring.
Ha ha ha ha.
Well, it left me
breathless.
Listen, there's
a nasty fellow.
Oh, yes.
Kill, kill, kill.
You know, that's really
all he likes to do.
Mmm. Naughty little
pristis antiquorum.
Ha ha ha.
He certainly
is a big one,
no doubt about that.
Will you be back
this afternoon?
Ah. No. Today's session
about wraps it up.
Tell your director
that I thank you both
very much
and that if
my thesis succeeds,
I owe you
a great debt.
No. It's been lovely
having you, Professor.
So few people
visit us,
we sometimes
forget we exist.
Ha ha.
Ha ha.
How sweet.
Uh.
Oh.
Ciao.
Ciao.

Did you follow me?
You followed me
first.
I never followed...
The tea shop.
But I gave you violets.
There's a difference,
you know.
And I bring you...
Diamonds.
You trying
to compromise me,
lady?
Absolutely.
Good girl. Come on,
we'll have a drink.
No, thanks.
I'll just nibble
at your champagne.
What you going
to do?
You mean
when I grow up
or now?
I don't care
what people do
when they grow up.
We'll think
of something.
Come here.

I'm having
a lovely time,
thanks.
I've got you
a present.
Very beautiful.
Exactly what you want.
It's a Lincoln.
I don't believe
you're a career girl.
I design kinky clothes
for baby-faced girls from...
What do you
really do?
I design kinky clothes
for baby-faced
Chelsea girls
who like to show off
their pretty little knees.
Well, I can't see
your pretty
little knees.
We could be doing this
anywhere else
in the whole world.
Why did we have to
come all the way
to France?
If we hadn't come,
we wouldn't have met
again.
Good thinking.
Of course,
if we hadn't come
all this way...
We'd probably be doing
exactly the same thing
somewhere else,
only with
different people.
Is that a...
Purely hypothetical
thought?
Purely.
Mmm. Very risqu.
Well, you know
what they say
about English girls.
Mmm. True.
You won pots of money
at the casino.
I was very impressed.
It was pots,
wasn't it?
Pots.
Then I'm obviously
lucky for you.
A rabbit's foot.
Mm-hmm.
Will you stay here
and win more?
Hmm-mmm. I'll go
someplace else
and win more.
Where?
Mmm... I'll...
Go to...
The Italian lakes...
Estoril,
baden-baden,
Nassau.
You'll lose without
your rabbit's foot.
You're fickle.
I thought you were
hung up on Napoleon.
Napoleon who?
Mmm.
Mmm. It's me again,
Manny.
He's off to Italy today.
Mmm. That's right.
Oh, I'll think
of something.
Buona sera.
Buona sera.
Grazie.
Oh, grazie.
Grazie mille.
If I went and sat
in one of those
comfy chairs,
would you bring me
a cup of tea?
My pleasure is to be
at your pleasure,
signorina.
I beg your pardon.
You're English,
aren't you?
You asked
the Porter for tea.
May I join you?
I've been playing
so long,
I long to sit one out.
Yes, of course.
Do sit.
If you ask
that waiter nicely,
I'm sure
he'll bring you
the times crossword.
If you'd stop
thinking of me
as a faded British
caricature,
we'd enjoy each other
so much more.
Isn't it nice of me
to share my discovery?
Mm-hmm.
Which one is he?
The one I came in with.
I'll go
and watch him play.
Manny, I don't mean
to be prickly.
No, I know you don't.
But then...
We don't really talk
the same language
anymore, do we?
No. We don't.
But we try every
now and again just
once in a while.
Don't get him hurt.
People around you seem
to get hurt sometimes.
And I don't want that.
Good heavens,
what an extraordinary idea.
I must go and watch
your Mr. Lincoln.
And thank you for getting
in touch with me.
Things may work out
very neatly after all.
For whom?
For me.
Isn't that why
you brought this man
to my attention?
You're looking very charming
this evening.

You know,
you puzzle me.
Lucky streaks
don't last forever,
and you always
quit so soon.
It's funny. I can't
sustain my interest
in some things.
Barney?
Hmm?
Barney,
are you awake?
Mm-hmm.
I mean really awake?
I want to talk to you.
Do I detect
a new note in your
cheerful bird song?
I hope not.
That would be dreary, and
being dreary embarrasses me.
What is it,
miss mcginnis?
Is your vacation
getting you down?
My vacation's lovely,
thank you.
A bit different
than the one I planned.
Much more sexy,
lovely.
You see, I've never
eaten roast larks before,
sat on a black cow...
I haven't finished.
I'm making a speech.
I certainly never meant
to get involved...
Damn! Why did you give
me those lousy violets?
None of it would have
happened if you hadn't.
I loathe violets.
I adored you for that.
You're building up
to a scene.
Surprising.
You're not the type.
That's a stupid
thing to say,
and you know it.
I'm simply trying
to explain to you
something about me,
about my instincts
and things.
Instincts?
Yes.
They're not very clear,
a bit all over the place,
but they're mine,
and I trust them.
That's why I loved
your ugly purple flowers,
why I'm with you now,
why I'm going.
Stop acting
like a little girl.
I'll thump you if
you say rotten, stupid
things to me.
I'm going back to London.
You can't.
You're my rabbit's foot.
No, I'm not.
Shut your eyes and
start counting to 100.
Never tell yourself
I didn't really exist.
I think
you're serious.
Yes, I am.
Start counting.
Count!
1, 2,
3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8,
9, 10...
Danke.
It does not make you
happy to win money?
What'd you say?
32,000.
You asked for pounds?
Good.
You have been in deauville
before, monsieur Lincoln,
but it was
a long time ago,
am I not right?
You have a good memory.
Yes. I'm perfect.
Then suppose you
tell me
what time the first
plane leaves for London.
8:30.
You will be early.
If you say so.
Bonjour,
monsieur Lincoln.
Isn't it
awfully boring
winning all evening?
I can't take
the excitement of losing.
Mr. Lincoln?
Tony Anderson.
Oh, yeah.
You deserve a drink.
Care to join me?
Sure, sure.
Uh, I got to...
Jean, tell Louis
to change the plaques.
Shall we
go to my office?
It's the first time
it's happened at my tables.
To your health, sir.
We should
be drinking to
the poor devil
who held the bank
against you.
I like how
you pay your winners.
To your health, sir.
Oh, come in.
Thank you,
gentlemen.
Your winnings,
sir.
Our receipt.
Ah, my pleasure.
Well, that's that,
I guess, huh?
Not quite, Mr. Lincoln.
Who is this?
Immanuel mcginnis,
new Scotland yard.
Tomorrow morning,
10:00.
Do try to be punctual.
You won't disappoint me,
will you?
What if I did?
That would be very rude.
Oh.
All right.
Promise?
You want me to
cross my heart,
darling?
That would
be charming. Ha.
Tomorrow morning,
then.
10:00, my place.
Good night,
Tony, dear.
Good night.
Hey, uh,
where's, uh...
Listen, uh, could you...
Could you...
Uh...
No time.
Inspector mcginnis?
Mr. Lincoln?
You're very hard
to find, inspector.
Good morning, Mr. Lincoln.
Do come in.
I found it, miss Albert,
and, uh, tea for two, huh?
Uh, excuse me.
You needn't be
alarmed, Mr. Lincoln.
I'm not going
to arrest you.
Never dreamed
you were.
Oh, really?
Ah, tea.
Thank you,
miss Albert.
Milk and sugar?
No, neither.
I would like
to ask a question.
Before tea?
One of our more...
Acceptable British customs,
don't you think?
Inspector mcginnis,
you wouldn't be related
to a certain
miss angel mcginnis,
would you?
My daughter.
She brought you
to my attention.
Later, she regretted
having done so.
Daughter?
I can't find him
anywhere, sir.
He's here, aimes.
Oh, Mr. Lincoln.
This is my assistant,
Mr. Lincoln.
That'll do, aimes.
I'll be on
the firing range
if you need me, sir.
Another member
of the family, right?
Don't ask.
Now, by way of background,
my interests are
not primarily concerned
with gambling.
The department
I'm in charge of
deals with homicide,
extortion, narcotics,
and related pastimes
as practiced by britons
at home and abroad.
It's a constant irritant
to my national pride
to realize how busy
this keeps me.
I'm going to
offer you a job,
one I hope you
won't find too tedious,
one which you
might even enjoy.
Are you interested?
Well, my time is
your time, inspector.
Like the song.
Like the song.
How best to
get this started?
Ah, yes.
In 1925, there
was born in London
an ambitious lad
of nimble brain
and no means
by the name
of Harry.
I shan't bore you
with the details
of his early career.
Suffice it to say
that real opportunity
presented itself
with the coming of
the second world war.
Well, if you were British,
you'd remember
a wartime scandal
involving
the disappearance
of a fortune
in morphine.
And although his name
kept cropping up during
the investigation,
Harry left the service
with nothing more serious
than a tarnished reputation.
There are those,
and I am one,
who believe he also left
with about 500,000 sterling,
deposited
in Swiss bank accounts.
You must take that
as wicked gossip.
I hope I haven't
lost your interest,
Mr. Lincoln.
Is Harry going to
turn out to be you?
Wouldn't that be fun?
After the war,
as Harry dominion,
he ran little
business ventures
on the continent.
Extraordinarily successful
little ventures,
which have provided him
with enough capital
to buy an old London
gaming club.
He calls it,
with elegant simplicity,
dominion.
Do you know the place?
That's a description
of the man.
Legal in every respect.
Of course, if I were
to listen to gossip...
Let's. You're having
such a good time.
Gossip has it
that Mr. dominion
also runs
the largest narcotics
delivery service
in the world.
You're putting me on,
Sherlock.
That's too big
and fancy.
I wish I were.
He picks up the stuff
in China
and dumps it in Europe
and the United States.
Rakes in vast amounts
of money for his efforts.
And we don't like him.
Cut up
his tricycle tires.
I really hate him.
He's bad.
Bad, huh?
Doesn't sound dumb.
Exactly.
He's a wonderful challenge,
do you see?
That's why the business
of getting him...
Finally really getting him,
is going to be full
of interesting details.
You're going to love
your new job, Mr. Lincoln.
Wrong.
I haven't worked
in years.
Do let me finish, sir.
Dominion has gone
heavily into debt
to finance the largest
cash-and-carry scheme
of his whole career.
But he's made himself
vulnerable.
This is where
you come in.
I didn't make
myself clear.
I don't come in.
Didn't I make
myself clear
that I don't come in?
Cut.
Queen of clubs.
King of diamonds.
King of spades.
10 of diamonds.
That's good.
Uh... So?
I'm afraid this is
one hand in the game
you can't win,
Mr. Lincoln.
This file contains
a record
of all your activities
since you arrived
in Europe,
down to
the minutest detail.
There's a copy
of a hotel register
in Geneva.
A piece of a padlock.
O.K., inspector,
it's your ballgame.
What next?
Well, as I said,
dominion is in debt,
so I'm putting
financial pressure
on him.
While I squeeze
from my side,
I want you to squeeze
from the other side.
What other side?
Poker.
The man plays poker.
Every evening,
in a high-stakes game
at his own club.
And he plays poker
very, very well.
And you want me
to beat him?
I want you
to beat him.
I want you to beat him
and beat him.
I want you to drive him
to the ground
like a wicket.
I want the man ruined.
That's all?
That's all.
Then we can forget
your transgressions
up to this point.
Donate what you win
from dominion to charity,
and tell the card company
to revise the designs
on the backs
of their plates.
But, uh...
What if I lose?
My dear chap,
how can you?
Well...
Oh, what wicked gossip.
Tongues will wag.
Wait until you hear,
gentlemen.
It's too good.
I really should save it
for the Brandy.
Ah, be patient, Paul.
Be patient.
This is a classic
moment.
You will
appreciate it
if you'll just
be patient.
Billy, will you check
everyone's glass for wine?
Sir.
Thank you.
Do you like
the wine, Paul?
I picked it
with you in mind.
C'est... c'est
le travail, eh?
Ah-ah-ah-ah.
Now first...
A toast.
To... All of us.
To us.
To us.
To us.
Ho ho ho ho!
Wait till you hear.
It's absolute heaven,
it's so classic.
Are you ready?
Well...
I have just heard...
From an unimpeachable
source
that one amongst us...
Is a traitor.
Don't you love it?
Hmm? Funny?
It's hysterical.
A traitor, Johnny.
A traitor.
I don't know
how else to say it.
A police informer.
A betrayer.
It's so pure.
Will the real
Judas iscariot
please stand up?
Please come
to the point,
dominion.
Is this true
or another of
your little games?
Oh, it's velly, velly
true, Mr. han.
All right,
who is it?
That's the lovely part.
I don't know.
Until my unimpeachable
source calls back,
I have no more idea
than the rest of you.
That's what's so perfect.
Shall we guess?
You can be first.
Ce n'est pas du tout
amusant.
You don't find it
amusing, but I do.
Oh, I do, indeed.
Would you care
to have a guess, Johnny?
Oh, no, thanks.
Pity. Edmund?
Han?
Anybody?
What about you, Billy?
I hardly think
I should presume, sir.
Oh, well,
maybe I should
start the game.
Well, perhaps
the traitor is...
Me?
Oh.
I wish we could have
played longer.
Will we?
Won't we?
Will we?
Won't we?
Will we join
the dance?
Answer it!
Thank you, Paul.
Yes?
Merci.
Who would have thought?
Billy, you can
take the phone away.
And you might call Eddie.
Sir.
Will you excuse me
for a moment, gentlemen?
Uh, Johnny, will you
join me for a moment?
Eddie?
Dominion wants you.
Do you want
some water?
You liked the wine,
didn't you?
Yeah.
Marvelous.
Paul didn't.
What exactly
did he do?
Paul?
Nothing.
What's the matter,
Johnny...
Feeling cold?
And then there were eight.
You've been
most understanding.
We'll be in touch
with you before long.
Let me know
if you have any questions.
I've got a question.
Uh... Angel...
Is, uh...
She a member
of the police force?
Good lord, no.
That would be chaos.
No, she just gave
her doddering old daddy
a present.
Something she knew
he'd like.
Oh, Mr. Lincoln.
My turn now.
From your history,
and of course
I've checked,
you have
no criminal record.
You're independently
wealthy.
A gambler, investor,
and that sort of thing,
but you're not
a criminal.
Would you mind telling me
why you went
to so much trouble
just to win at cards?
You promise
not to tell?
Mm-hmm.
Well, once the idea
occurred to me,
it was absolutely
irresistible.
I suppose so.
And, uh, inspector.
Hmm?
You're an unusual
father.
So I've been told.
Goodbye, Mr. Lincoln.
Do you think he can
beat dominion, sir?
Oh, yes.
Is there likely
to be any trouble?
Not for Mr. Lincoln.
Does it make me
look fat?
I think you look super.
Really? You think?
Marvelous.
O.K. I'll take it.
Thanks.
Aah! Barney!
I'll wait.
I'll wait.
But...
Go.
It's 20 guineas.
Do you want to
pay or charge?
I've never seen 20 guineas
in one place.
Charge it.
Thank you very much.
Bye.
Before you
get started on me,
I want to explain.
You've seen Manny.
Manny?
If he's your father,
why not call him daddy
like other kids do?
I don't see
what that's got
to do with anything.
You've set me up,
given me an option
on a prison cell...
You're right,
it doesn't.
Call him
the easter bunny.
I've just got
some questions,
and give me
yes or no answers.
1... did you turn me
into the police?
Yes, but it's not fair
asking questions you know.
Did you do it
when we met
in London?
No.
Nice? Cannes?
No.
Monte Carlo?
Monte car...
Why?
Well, I'd never seen
anybody who gambled
so beautifully before.
Did your daddy tell you
what he wanted me for?
No. He just wanted to meet
a beautiful cards player.
I thought that you...
Did you 86 me
because he asked you to?
Dump? Walk out on me.
No, of course not.
And are you still part
of his little project?
No.
Will you believe me
if I tell you
it doesn't matter?
Could we possibly
have some tea
and discuss your
inconsistencies
alone?
Can I ask you
something?
Is it a good one?
You're in love
with me?
That's right.
Right.
Oh, I say.
Oh, I say.
Aimes?
Sir.
Mm-hmm.
Bring Mr. Lincoln in,
will you?
Oh, yes, sir.
And, aimes...
Do it quietly,
won't you?
Oh, yes, sir.
Let's go.
Get in the car.
Go on, get in.
Get in.
That's it. Good.
Mcginnis!
Mcginnis!
Mcginnis!
Come on!
Mcginnis!
Grab his feet.
Come on!
Mcginnis!
Mcginnis!
I got him, sir.
That'll do, gentlemen.
Mcginnis, if I ever lay eyes
on this little creep again,
the whole thing's off.
You can play games,
but Barney Lincoln
doesn't play.
Run along
to the rifle range, aimes.
We'll talk later.
Right, sir.
You let this twit loose
with real bullets?
He's a brilliant shot.
What a distorted outfit.
I beg your pardon?
Nothing.
What's the emergency?
Tonight's the night.
What night?
For you to meet
dominion.
All right.
I'll start tonight.
And finish.
Stop being
a surrealist.
It'll take time.
Something's come up.
If I do it in one night,
he'll know.
That's a chance
I'm prepared to take.
Bully for you, pally.
Look, Mr. Lincoln,
I have you in a vice.
I could squeeze you
until there's nothing left.
I choose not to do so
because you're useful to me.
Do I make myself clear?
The game starts at 9:30
in the salle privee.
Make arrangements to play.
I don't think
they know me.
I'm sure you can get in
if you try.
Evening, sir.
Lincoln.
Barney Lincoln.
An introduction
was arranged by
lord kleiman.
Yes, sir. You're expected.
You and...
Constant companion.
The salle privee, sir?
Barney, it's lovely.
Thank you
for bringing me.
The salle privee, sir.
Could you get me
some plaques?
Certainly.
I think that you should
stick to roulette.
But...
Queens fold.
Hand to
Mr. giordi.
Mr. Lincoln.
Ah, Mr. Lincoln!
We'd begun to despair.
I'm Harry dominion.

all at the same time.
Queens over 10s.
Hand to Mr. Lincoln.
You must excuse me,
gentlemen.
I'm called away.
Continue without me.
I shall be back shortly.
Vivre I'empereur.
Merci, mademoiselle.
I didn't realize
I had any fans left.
Since I was 11.
How nice.
All right,
who's the clever bastard?
Barney Lincoln.
American.
Bonafide.
Does he cheat?
The mustafa syndicate
says no.
They checked him out
after he took 50,000
from monte Carlo.
Even sent velasquez
to Italy
to watch him play.
Nothing.
Where's he from?
New York, Nevada,
the Caribbean,
all over.
Known as a good,
solid card player.
Not flashy.
Young,
but not flashy.
Well, he's very flashy
tonight.
Very.
He had a girl with him.
She's here.
Where?
The one
you just spoke to.
She's killing time
waiting for him,
I'd say.
Interesting.
Anything else?
He's carrying a note
on a midland bank
for 250,000.
Endorsed it for 50,000
when he came in.
For plaques.
O.K.
Bon soir, Josephine.
What's a pretty child
like you
doing amongst all these
grownup delinquents?
Isn't it funny
how they like losing?
I like them losing.
I own the club.
You really are
incredibly like him.
A bit taller, perhaps.
Um...
What happens in there?
That's where the real
delinquents play.
How lovely.
Let's add loveliness
to loveliness.
Hand to
Mr. Lincoln.
Gentlemen, may I introduce
my rabbit's foot?
Captain, would you see
that the lovely lady
gets a comfortable chair?
Wasn't there a house rule
that no women...
There was. I just had
a board meeting
and changed it.
Now then, gentlemen,
I'd like to propose
a change of stakes.
Would that be
all right with you,
Mr. Lincoln?
What do you have in mind?
No limit.
Oh, my!
The table limit
is 20,000.
It was.
Edward?
Yes, all right.
Seor giordi?
Very interesting.
Very interesting.
Sorry to lose you,
Mr. Dawson.
Well, Billy.
Nice to see you,
Freddie.
Give Mr. Leeds.
Good night.
Uh, more cards,
please.
Very good, sir.
Wake up, Willie.
I want some cards.
They eating them?
These are for
the salle privee.
Himself.
LA Dee da.
You ain't half
a sloppy devil.
Hurry up, will you?
I haven't got
all night.
Hand me that crowbar, mate.
I've got to break out
a new crate.
Willie,
what you doing?
I'm filing me nails.
Only there's an open
box of cards down there.
They're all dusty.
Ain't we grand?
Mr. dominion has the deal.
Something wrong,
Mr. Lincoln?
No.
Stud.
Five card stud poker.
I can't understand it.
I was terribly good
in front of Mr. Lincoln.
Do you ever clean this?
Did you have a good
annual dinner, sir?
Dreadful, as usual.
I suppose management thinks
just because people
are interested
in steam engines,
they never notice food.
I'll take two.
Thank you.
Just a minute.
I'll bet 5.
I just wonder
how it's going.
I hope he's having
better luck than I am.
Your bet.
Oh, yes.
Cover the 5,
and, um...
Raise you 10, sir.
Do you think
it was right
miss mcginnis
going along tonight?
There's nothing
I can do about it.
Anyway, Lincoln knows
she mustn't be told
of this affair.
Yes, but...
Dominion doesn't know her.
The place is surrounded
with policemen.
They'll telephone
if anything happens.
We must just be patient.
I'll... See you.
Well, play the game,
aimes.

Hand to Mr. Lincoln.
Va-tout.
Can't you ever lose?
Hey, uh, haven't seen
my girl, have you?
Blonde girl.
She left a few minutes ago
with Mr. dominion.
You're to meet them later
at his home for a party.
Wait, wait, wait.
Where's home?
Oh, knotting hill gate,
sir, with my mother...
Not yours, Evelyn,
his.
Oh, Mr. dominion.
He has a rather splendid home,
like a castle.
It's in the country
near boggs-on-slyly.
Boggs-on-what?
Thank you, Billy.
Welcome to
my country cottage.
It's small,
but we love it.
Don't move
or make a sound
or I shan't be able
to control the dog, sir.
How lovely.
Look, no hands.
So soon, Mr. Lincoln,
you must have flown
on the wings of Eros.
We're having
a cup of tea.
Do join us, Mr. Lincoln.
Oh, how lovely.
Thank you.
Scones or sticky buns,
Mr. Lincoln?
Oh, uh,
sticky buns.
They're absolutely
delicious.
Isn't she lovely?
Oh, this is fun.
It's almost like a party.
Won't you sit down,
Mr. Lincoln?
There's a small matter
I'd like to discuss with you.
Perhaps the lady
would like a tour.
Eddie, show the lovely lady
the seashell collection
or the suits
of iberian armor.
No. You must see
the napoleona.
Oh, that would be lovely.
And, Eddie, you can close
the dogs in now.
It's almost daylight.
Yes, Mr. dominion.
Well...
Now that, uh,
we're alone,
what do you want?
Mr. Lincoln, I find myself
in a temporary financial
embarrassment.
I require a loan.
Anything for a friend.
How much?
All.
Everything I won
from you?
And everything I would have
won from you. All.
Your money or your life.
And the young lady's life,
too.
Do you, uh,
have a pen?
Huh?
Sir.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Uhh!
We play poker my way now,
Mr. Lincoln.
I'm afraid we shall
have to curtail the tour.
Would you get the car?
Yes, sir.
Has something happened?
I think your friend
needs you.
What do you mean?
I'm afraid he's met
his Waterloo.
Barney.
Barney!
Barney, Barney,
what's happened?
Speak up. Talk to me.
Leave it running
and get Billy.
Yes, sir.
Hey, Billy.
Where's Lincoln
and the girl?
But you said
fetch Billy.
Give me that.
Get up, lovely lady.
He can't walk.
Then he can crawl.
Aah!
Are you all right, sir?
Twit.
The terrace, Billy.
Right.
I hate guns.
Oh, you bastard!
And I don't like
fighting.
How does living grab you?
Ahh. Eddie.
Yes, sir.
Get the car.
Yes, sir.
Now run, will you?
I am.
How powerful
is our car, Eddie?
About 350 horsepower.
350 horses against
two breathless children.
350 horses.
Well.
Eddie,
feed those horses now.
Harry dominion.
My name is
immanuel mcginnis,
new Scotland yard.
Come with me.
I was coming
to give his money back.
Do you usually
deliver money
at the point of a gun?
You have a point.
I think you'll find
we have several points
to discuss.
Shall we go in your car
or shall we go in mine?
Perhaps we'd better go
in mine.
Morning, lovely lady.
Incidentally,
you owe me a chauffeur.
Well done, aimes.
Oh, thank you, sir.
I thought your timing
rather super.
You two all right?
Yes.
Can I give you a lift
back to town?
Uh-uh.
Manny, that was
about the nicest thing
you've ever done for me.
Well, better late
than never, I suppose.
I suppose.
Interesting father.
Guess what.
Uh, we're getting
married.
You guessed it.
I wish
we didn't have to be
like everyone else.
I mean, I do
love you completely.
It's the inevitability
somehow.
Is living in sin
actually a crime?
It's frowned upon.
By who?
In this case, by me.
Where are you going,
Barney?
Well, we're going
to tangier, salamanca,
all the thousand
islands.
Guadalupe, new Mexico,
kashmir.
