Marathon Man Edit

A chapter, I see. Yes, interesting.

A girlfriend in my building.

A guy in my office, a ski bum, a pain in the ass about skiing.

A live, freshly cut nerve is infinitely more sensitive,

A rich, successful businessman. My father would have disowned him.

A tiny place. Verbier.

Again.

Ah, Levy. Good of you to come. Won't you join us?

All finished, Henry. Thank you.

All right, guys. Let's go, move out of there.

All right, I got it. Here it is.

All right, you may go.

All right.

All right. I'll see you again.

All the branches are competitive.

All this happened because you were afraid you were gonna be robbed?

Also, LeClerc was not expecting me.

An explosion and fire, which you see behind me.

And if I'm unable to conclude my business by 1:00?

And if it matters, Levy, I wept the day he died.

And if you don't mind, I'd like to use you as bait.

And if you get hungry, I'll send the waiter to McDonald's.

And that you will once again fly with us. Muchas gracias.

And then, just when you think you have your possession sure,

And what the CIA doesn't wanna deal with, we step in.

And you two work together?

And you're on your way.

Any changes?

Any way you can skin it is your business.

Are you all right? Did you get my note?

Are you always so incompetent with women?

Are you sure?

Are you talking to me?

Around the size of my little fingernail.

As far as we're concerned, Mr Szell, you're a relic.

At any event, my writing is childish still, but I'm a fanatic about spoken language.

At least his fly is buttoned.

Babe, you gotta do one thing for me, just one thing.

Babe!

Babe!

Babe!

Babe! Babe.

Babe? What's the time?

Babe...

Behind schedule?

Blow it out your ass, motherfucker.

Bonjour. Commander. We're meeting tonight, right?

Boss, is that his name? Boss?

Boy, something has gotten you.

Brilliant, yeah?

But it won't come to anything.

But it's gotta be done, you can understand that, right?

But of the charges, I know he was innocent.

But there's no shortage of historians.

But they'll be your tracks, they won't be his.

But we must talk. Truthfully.

But we're talking about an objective doctoral thesis.

But whoever killed him will probably want to speak to you.

But you weren't sure.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Can I take you and Elsa to lunch tomorrow?

Can you move it?

Christopher Hesse. How do you do?

Close the door for the light, sir. No one can enter.

Come here. Listen, man, it's past my bedtime.

Come in.

Come on back!

Come on, unlock it.

Come on!

Come on!

Come on! Come on back!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Open. Open. It's okay.

Come on. Who said that?

Come.

Considering what your brother did. And your father, of course.

Coolidge breaking up the Boston police strike,

Cops will be here soon.

Creepy!

Cut the bullshit. Tell me where Szell is.

Damn it!

Der Weiße Engel is here!

Der Weiße Engel is here. Oh, my God. Stop him.

Der Weiße Engel. He has to be stopped.

Did you think I was dead?

Do I have to hear a lecture on the glories of a Burgundy again?

Do you know that, you senile, old cooker?

Do you miss home? I bet you do.

Do you want me to become a corporate hustler like you?

Doc lived in Washington, which is the centre of...

Doc was desperate to get here. Remember anything he said?

Doc!

Doc?

Doesn't matter. I could take you with one hand.

Don't give me shit about my behaviour. Not after what you've been pulling.

Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself.

Don't you ever clean this armpit of a place?

Don't you tell me to langsamer, you Kraut meathead!

Don't you think he was innocent, sir?

Don't you want to take a closer look than that?

Easy. Easy.

Eat.

Elsa, why don't you move away, give the boy some room to breathe?

Erhard!

Everything all right, sir?

Everything went fine till his brother got killed by an oil truck.

Excuse me, sir. Would you mind putting on this tie?

Excuse me, that's not my suit.

Excuse me.

Face it. The old man is dead. He was a drunk. He killed himself.

Fifteen...

First after a lifetime of being taken by friends and enemies alike,

For a liberal pacifist, you've got some sense of vengeance.

Frankly, I am disappointed in your silence.

Get a cab and get over here. I've got plenty of room.

Get going! How do you like that?

Get him!

Get off my back! They've been after me for two hours!

Get out!

Get rid of him.

Get up.

Go get them!

Go on, you son of a bitch!

Go on! Get going, you Mercedes bastard!

Go!

Go.

God, you are pretty.

Gonna time yourself in the shower?

Good evening, sir.

Good evening.

Good.

Goodbye.

Gotta change... Come on, start.

Ha!

Hardly original, but effective enough. I think you'll agree.

He did experiments at Auschwitz.

He didn't start to drink till after the hearings.

He died in your arms.

He had a bunch of political hacks called "the Tweed ring".

He knew nothing. If he'd known, he would have told.

He said my name a couple of times.

He started out with gold, naturally, but went on to diamonds.

He took it from the ****' teeth before he burned them.

He travelled far and in great pain to do that.

He was afraid you'd be disappointed in him, I expect.

He was bald.

He was called The White Angel, Der Weiße Engel, due to his white hair.

He was guilty of being arrogant and brilliant and of being naive.

He'll bring others!

He's a beast. He's a murderer. You must stop him.

He's always going on about Verbier. Right at the foot of Mount Rosa?

He's at a bank at 58th and Madison.

He's been dead for 20 years, and he was innocent.

He's hiding out in Uruguay.

He's not alive any more.

He's not coming to America, Mr Janeway. He's here.

He's on the north ramp. Come on, for Christ sakes!

He's shaved his head! He's here, and he's panicked.

Heard this?

Hello? Hi, Elsa.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help! Help!

Help! Help!

Help! Help! Please!

Here comes the Creep. Yo, Melendez.

Here is a dime, man. Here's some more change.

Here. Take this and just give me a dime.

Hesse of Golders Green, since '33, when we got out of Germany.

Hey, get some glasses.

Hey!

Hey! You maniac, you!

Hey.

Hey. Creepy! Hey, twinkle toes!

Highest marks.

His brother took the diamonds to America

Hold it!

How am I to fathom your mind if you continue to hide it from me?

How can you live like this?

How did you find it?

How do you like that?

Huh?

Hurry up!

I almost got my ass blown off at the flea market.

I always wanted to visit London.

I bet you still have that goddamn gun.

I can't give you that much. That much I don't make.

I can't hear.

I can't talk about how smart you are. I don't know you. I'm done lying.

I can't tell you if something is safe or not

I can't!

I come from a family of historians. My card is proof.

I could pay my tuition for what this meal costs.

I couldn't give a fuck about you...

I couldn't keep it in the shop.

I didn't mean to imply...

I didn't want this to happen, but I couldn't trust them.

I don't care. Forget it. It didn't happen.

I don't have to worry about clearing him, because he was innocent.

I don't know anything.

I don't know anything.

I don't know anything.

I don't know anything.

I don't know what it was about. The valet came into the wrong room.

I don't know, Babe. I...

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. About 5:00.

I don't mind you hiring him, but getting my brother involved?

I don't need work papers. I'm a student here.

I don't think he knows anything. I think he knows too much.

I don't think the police are coming.

I don't think you've heard the news.

I don't. It's just that you're pretty.

I envy you your school days. Enjoy them.

I find you rather detestable.

I got a gun in my desk. And get me some clothes.

I got a gun.

I got a gun.

I got a TV set. I got a hi fi. You can take it all. Do it.

I got it from his friends.

I had alexia as a child. Alexia is a disease...

I have things in my possession...

I haven't got anything for you here.

I haven't run a whole marathon yet, but I hope to.

I hope you all flunk! Dismissed.

I just have to get myself a new brother in law.

I just want you to read it.

I knew your father.

I know exactly how Doc made his living.

I know I behaved terribly, but I had to be sure what you knew.

I know it's risky, and I don't wanna force you to do it. It's up to you.

I know that man.

I know this wasn't easy and this is a bad time for you,

I know whereof I speak.

I know who you are, you murderer. I know who you are!

I know you.

I know you're trying to bait me. You know her name isn't Helga.

I know, it's where you can't understand written speech.

I know.

I like you, too.

I like you.

I must get the key.

I never even met him.

I really wanted to say that...

I say, "Let us hush this cry of progress till 10,000 years have passed."

I should have thought you would have found me interesting.

I suggest you hurry while it's still there.

I suppose all.

I thank you for your time. I'm sorry, 90,000 is far too high for me.

I think I may have one left.

I think...

I thought you killed them. You killed them!

I took money from Paris into Uruguay, that's all.

I took your book. I didn't know how to talk to you.

I twisted my ankle on the way. I was hoping to rest it.

I wanna know where...

I want you to do something for me, to meet me.

I want you to rob my apartment.

I wanted to explain. I lied about the Swiss, because...

I was embarrassed, so I took your book.

I was here. Doc died. You came.

I was in a state of hysteria, you know.

I was just telling him how you fucked up my tennis game.

I wasn't.

I wasn't.

I will stop him! I will stop him!

I wish you good luck. Bye.

I won't.

I'd like to find out by whom and why.

I'd like to offer you half.

I'd like to see a three carat diamond.

I'll cut your finger off if you don't let go of that buzzer!

I'll get the ambulance guys.

I'll give you Szell for your brother.

I'll take that now, sir. Thank you.

I'm a demon for details.

I'm down in Washington.

I'm far too sensitive for this kind of work.

I'm glad to see you.

I'm glad you came down.

I'm going to talk to some people to find out what happened.

I'm gonna do you a big favour.

I'm just doing my job. I believe in my country.

I'm much too old and far too smart for that.

I'm not going into that cavity. That nerve's already dying.

I'm not jittery.

I'm not joking.

I'm not one to be mocked. Behave...

I'm not that familiar with Switzerland.

I'm not your friend.

I'm only interested in gem quality.

I'm over here to do a lot of things. You're only one of them.

I'm past it. I know it. Soon it'll become common knowledge.

I'm positive your brother meant to rob me

I'm smart as a whip.

I'm sorry about your brother.

I'm sorry I'm so late. I was down...

I'm sorry to intrude. I was a friend of your brother's.

I'm sorry.

I'm staying across the park, at The Carlyle,

I'm supposed to be the best in my business.

I'm the best because people think I am the best.

I'm told you are a graduate student.

I've been trying you for two hours. Finally, I just went running.

I've gotta make an appointment?

I've made all this up.

If he comes out to use it, he'll expose himself to great risk.

If he doesn't swear I'm practically giving this stone away,

If so, you wouldn't be here with me.

If the police were coming, you wouldn't be so panicky.

If you persist, I'll conclude you're a drone.

If you want cash, I'll give you cash. Let me take a look at it.

If you will just give me a chance to get this open.

In '45, Szell told **** in Auschwitz he'd help them escape for a price.

In a sense, one becomes more emotional with age.

In case you were wondering how I knew where you live.

In fact, they're the ones that most resemble diamonds.

Is Helga as morbid as you?

Is it not remarkable?

Is it safe?

Is it safe?

Is it safe?

Is it safe?

Is it safe?

Is it Szell's?

Is it Szell's?

Is that the truth, or are you trying again to upset me?

It belongs to her family. Ah.

It can't be... Szell?

It isn't safe.

It mustn't become a hysterical crusade. That's not the way to clear him.

It was a bad day for all of us, sir.

It was obvious you knew.

It will not happen.

It's a crazy world.

It's a deal.

It's a paper I'm writing.

It's a Rolex. My brother's watch. Hey, come on.

It's a rule of the house. You have to wear a tie here.

It's called progress.

It's my father.

It's not just the way things worked out. Your father got his at Columbia.

It's not safe.

It's not the same with flesh. Smashing bone is different...

It's okay.

It's Szell. Der Weiße Engel!

It's the last time in your life no one expects anything of you.

It's worse than that. It's a very long French opera.

Janey!

Jesus Christ.

Jesus!

Jude! You are a Jude!

Just a second.

Just get hold of a car. Please. In an hour.

Just keep moving.

Just think of me as any young executive on the come.

Karl!

Keep going, keep going.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have news, unfortunately,

Leave the ticket at the box office. I'll be there before it's over.

LeClerc, want to hear something really silly?

LeClerc's dead.

Let her go. She's a phoney. She's after something. Can't you see it?

Let me come over.

Life can be that simple. Relief, discomfort.

Like I did something wrong, I don't understand it.

Listen.

Listen...

London got busy.

London was hectic, but I'm fair.

Look. I'll have it for you tonight.

Manufactured doctorates is called progress.

Many foreigners marry Americans to make things legal.

May I say that without hurting your feelings?

Maybe for you.

Maybe...

Melendez, it's me. I want you to do a job for me.

Merci, Scylla.

Mike, who you have for English lit? Bayley? He sucks.

Miss Opel!

Miss Opel!

Miss Opel. Hi. Sorry.

Mmm.

More.

More.

Morning, sir. Anything I could interest you in today?

Move that crate! Will you move that heap?

Move.

Move.

Mrs Melendez, I have to see your son, it's important.

My diet is going badly. I'm beginning to think I lack willpower.

My God! He gets away. Der Weiße Engel is here!

My God! Stop him!

My name is Peter Janeway. Call me Janey. All my friends do.

Name is Arnie, walks with a limp, green jacket, brown pants.

Naturally.

Neither can I.

Neither do I, but I could be wrong.

Neither do I. Not in today's market.

Nice.

Nicole?

Nicole?

Nicole.

No trade, I want cash for the ring.

No, Babe. Not again.

No, Babe. There's nobody here. Let's go.

No, don't slow down. Keep going.

No, I don't think so.

No, I think he was guilty.

No, it's not safe. It's very dangerous. Be careful.

No, please. Please don't. No.

No, thank you, but I prefer my hovel.

No, that wasn't it.

No, that's his nickname. William Marcy Tweed.

No, wait!

No, you can keep them.

No!

No! He worked for us. Everything we do cuts both ways.

No! Over here. Over here.

No.

No.

No. We'd have known it.

Not interested.

Nothing you write will change that!

Now, I think they are not so sure.

Now, which of these I next apply, that decision is in your hands,

Of having been picked from over 200 applicants for this seminar.

Of not being able to cope with the humiliation of being dismissed.

Oh, boy.

Oh, my God, there he goes! He's getting away!

Oh, screw appearances. I miss you.

Oh. Sit.

Okay, enough.

Okay, I'm just guessing now,

Okay, let's see what you got.

Okay? I'll take a shower, I'll be there? Thanks. Okay, bye.

Okay. Maybe we can make a trade.

Okay. One at a time.

On this traditional ******* holiday of Yom Kippur.

One more time and I'm coming down with the butcher knife!

One of the men killed here was Klaus Szell,

Only everything.

Or Ursula or Irmgard.

Our little shop isn't that fashionable. Thank you.

Our shop is quite fashionable now.

Pardon me, I'm not quite sure what you said.

Per carat, naturally.

Perhaps you could give me some of the details.

Perhaps you do. I'm pretty good at faces myself.

Plaza Athénée.

Please could you tell me, Boss Tweed, around 1875...

Please don't worry.

Please put the papers down. Tell them. Put the papers down!

Please stop.

Please, Babe. Let's go.

Please, start.

Please.

Please. I'm from across the street. I want you to do something for me.

Praise from Caesar.

Put a leash on that dog!

Rather well, in point of fact. He was my mentor.

Relax, relax.

Roosevelt putting Japanese Americans into concentration camps...

Run him down! Run him down!

See the watch he gave me the last time he was here?

Senator from Wisconsin? Ran a series of purges in the '50s?

She's crazy.

Shit!

Shit.

Shit. Jesus!

Shoot.

Simple oil of cloves and how amazing the results.

Sir.

Sit. Sit!

So did we all.

So I'll get this three carat stone.

So I'll just drill into a healthy tooth until I reach the pulp.

So take your time and tell me.

So that was Szell.

So you look at the phoque? How do you spell that?

So, how's business?

Some guys are after me.

Some interviews about Dad. Read them.

Somebody help me!

Something for your crash diet, LeClerc. The least I could do.

Soon.

Sorry.

Stay out of it!

Stop him! Der Weiße Engel!

Stop him! Stop him!

Stop it! Stop it! Tell me when they're coming.

Stop it.

Stop!

Strength is often inherited.

Such as?

Surely, you came to our antique shop in London?

Swallow!

Swallow?

Swallow.

Szell ratted on all his buddies. He kept track on all the Nazis.

Szell saw the end early.

Szell thinks Doc said something to you before he died.

Szell was a dentist.

Szell!

Szell!

Szell! Stop Szell!

Szell! Szell!

Szell.

Szell. Stop him! Oh, please help me.

Szell's brother had the key.

Szell's brother's been killed in Manhattan, an accident with an oil truck.

Szell's brother's.

Szell's?

Take it easy, will you? I can't understand.

Take it easy. What's in the papers?

Taken target practice, have you? A wizard at hitting paper?

Tell me what the "it" refers to.

Tell me when they're coming. What did you do for him?

Tell us the subject of your dissertation, please?

Ten four.

Tennyson, Alfred Lord Tennyson.

Thank God!

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks.

That ain't the catch, it's the fun.

That man who was here has seen your gun!

That there's been no solution to the strike at Kennedy Airport.

That's a quote. Who said that?

That's it?

That's it?

That's it.

That's not bad.

That's okay. Take your time.

That's ridiculous. I expected you three days ago, that's all.

That's too bad. I could make you so happy.

The bakery workers' strike continues with no bread for a week.

The beast! The beast!

The bomb was not imaginary.

The brother of the infamous Nazi, Christian Szell,

The catch is it's dangerous. Please do it.

The closest he got to the oil business was when he filled up with gas.

The dentist almost killed me. He kept saying, "Is it safe?"

The great Chablis of the world are almost always green eyed.

The gun had blanks, the knife a retractable blade.

The land of plenty.

The man needs help here! Help! Quick! A doctor! Quick!

The McCarthy section is central to your dissertation, yes?

The McCarthy section is central to your dissertation, yes?

The only other key Szell kept in Uruguay.

The opera!

The price is too high.

The truffles en croute here are marvellous.

The use of tyranny in American political life.

Then you'll take these from me. If I could say a word about that?

There has to be a reason.

There you are, sir.

There's a shortage of natural resources, breathable air and adequate claret,

There's no Mount Rosa in Verbier or Claude LeSeur.

There's something going on here that we don't know about.

They are a pain in the ass.

They are protesting against pollution.

They called him Boss, because he was a corrupt politician.

They looked like you. They had suits on.

They told me they were done! What are you saying?

They were always so confident God was on their side.

They're all dead. Move.

They're getting all the couriers.

Things are coming together. Down, or your head gets blown off.

Think of it as a warning. Nothing more.

Think of that as a warning and nothing more.

This I know. Thank you.

This is a Beaujolais, schmuck. Moulin a Vent, '71.

This is madness!

Those two guys I wasted work for Christian Szell.

Thought to have perished fleeing Berlin at the end of World War II.

Three bombs a day have gone off since the strikes began.

Till now.

To a safe deposit box in New York.

Tom Ellis, reporting direct from the scene.

Tomorrow, I must go and find out before I go to the bank.

Truth is they're all paranoid schmucks.

Tub.

Turn it off. All right.

Turn it on.

Two five nine six six.

Two men have been killed in this accident.

Tyranny, sir.

Under no circumstances do anything, but call as soon as you...

Unless I know specifically what you're talking about.

Unless, of course, you can tell me that it's safe.

Unseasonable temperatures for New York...

Verbier?

Very worrisome.

Wait a minute. Elsa! Wait!

Wait, let me think.

Wait. If this is a joke, it's not funny.

Wait. Let me see what you got.

Waking me up in the middle of the night.

We can work out what you wanna work out, but shouldn't we do it inside?

We do not involve family, ever.

We grind you out like link sausages.

We haven't done anything right on the whole voyage.

We heard that you were not there, but I wouldn't say it was relevant.

We still have time. I can get you out of here.

We trust this won't cause you too great an inconvenience

We use you because you're the best.

We were very close for many years. Believe me.

We won't be playing doubles for a while.

We'll take it to this independent appraiser I know.

We're all gonna take it easy. Isn't that right, Erhard?

We're all just gonna sit here and wait for the police, right, Karl?

We're awaiting further instructions. Do we take three giant steps or what?

We're talking of my safety.

Well, somebody must know the answer!

Well, you four have the dubious honour

Well?

Well...

Were you Szell's mistress?

What are you going to do now, shoot me?

What are you going to do?

What are you saying?

What are you?

What did he say?

What do you miss most of all? The people? The country? Skiing?

What happened to you?

What part are you from?

What the fuck...

What was all that about?

What was it yesterday? 16:02. I was faster. Shit!

What were you?

What you offer us is valuable, but it's not worth the chaos you're causing.

What?

What?

What?

What's in it for me?

What's the catch?

What's this?

What's this? More bullshit for your thesis?

When I left the bank with my diamonds.

When the gap gets too large between what the FBI can handle effectively

When we wanted to bring one in, we went to Szell.

When you race 26 miles, you don't give in to pain.

Where can we contact him?

Where is he?

Where is he?

Where is it?

Where is Janeway?

Where is Szell?

White hair? Keep your head down! Did he have white hair?

Who else knows I'm here?

Who is it?

Who's there?

Whose house is this?

Why are you at Columbia for your doctorate?

Why are you walking away? You guys are crazy!

Why ask about this? It has nothing to do with it.

Why did you let us get so close?

Why didn't Doc tell me? Why did he lie to me?

Why didn't you answer that Tennyson question?

Why do you have so little accent?

Why do you keep it?

Why do you need to be reassured?

Why do you pursue people who sit at your library table?

Why don't we begin with what happened tonight, hmm?

Why don't you ask me if I love him? Why don't you...

Why don't you finish what you're doing and get your ass over here?

Why don't you say you'll see me? Huh?

Why was it natural to start with gold?

Why were you surprised to see me?

Why?

Why?

Why? If you just wanna see, go window shop.

Why? Tell me what...

Will passengers who have identified their baggage please go to customs?

Would you tell me who this is?

Wrong.

Yeah, swallow.

Yeah!

Yes, I can.

Yes, I have the number.

Yes, I'm aware of that, sir. I was planning a chapter on him.

Yes, it's safe. It's very safe. So safe you wouldn't believe it.

Yes!

Yes.

Yes.

You anti Semitic bastard, you!

You are all so predictable.

You can afford to think what you wish. I can't.

You can drop me at the corner.

You can keep as many as you can swallow.

You can't compete on a doctoral level and not know Locksley Hall.

You can't fill his footsteps, I'm sorry to say.

You can't tell.

You can't.

You did it, huh?

You didn't say they needed to be clean, asshole.

You do speak English?

You forgot your book. I thought it might be important.

You fucking killed them!

You have any clean sheets?

You have quite a cavity here.

You keep me waiting. Why? To upset me?

You killed my brother!

You killed them!

You killed them!

You like it?

You Limburger loving schmuck!

You look at me like I'm doing something wrong,

You might consider the McCarthy business?

You might end up leaving larger tracks than that,

You must know Claude LeSeur.

You Nazi bastard!

You never answer me!

You say "good night", but you don't go.

You see...

You see...

You should realise we're only authorised to go to certain limits.

You should take better care of your teeth.

You sure you're not overusing your limited imagination?

You were picked for his seminar?

You were when I came in.

You weren't?

You wish to write about a period in our history that destroyed your father.

You won't meet another thief like me in a library.

You won't.

You'd be foolish to do anything hasty.

You'd like to fight, wouldn't you?

You'll have it tonight, won't you?

You'll have to come to the opera.

You'll have to shoot me.

You'll just have to manage that, won't you?

You're a menace!

You're a student.

You're all in my killing range now.

You're an historian, and I am part of history.

You're full of shit.

You're not Swiss. What are you?

You're talking six carat, sir. More probably.

You're too weak.

You're uncontrollable.

You're very tired.

Your brother was incredibly strong.
