The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) Edit

A circle in a spiral

A criminal record?

A deal? Sure, Vicki girl, I'll make a deal.

A salesman's wife from Long Island.

A something like the mind that planned it.

A Tommy Crown property.

A tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own

A week of thinking, and what have you got?

A wheel within a wheel

Across the street, on the roof.

Advertise?

Aeroplane luggage they hardly ever check at all.

All clear. Ten after three. Check in again at 3:40.

All my love, Tommy.

All right, Eddy.

All right, so he plays polo. Now what?

All right.

All right.

All right. Come on, baby.

All right. I'll squeeze,

All right. Move in. Box him up.

All right. Sit down and shut up!

Almost done.

Almost.

And a black, black day for law enforcement,

And a thousand twenty for me if you miss.

And an elevator.

And an inky day for the insurance people when you have to pay off, right?

And down that corridor.

And five is the proper price.

And he'd have to make more than one trip.

And I can do it again.

And I'm not gonna jump through any more hoops for her, so get off my back.

And no trips. Just your selling.

And remember, the proceed

And ten seconds.

And ten seconds.

And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space

And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space

And they're still very cheap. At $500. At 500.

And whose head are you after?

And, Marvin, we're lookin' for suitcases, cartons, anything that'll hold money.

Any year,

Anyhow, it's for charity

Anyone else here?

Anything for me, Ross?

Anything in particular?

As the images unwind

At $500 they're going

At 325. It's against you now.

At 350. 350.

At the tone, the time will be

At the tone, the time will be

At the tone, the time will be

Back of the car, please. Step to the back of the car.

Be a fink for $25,000.

Beautiful.

Before we ask you any questions, you must understand your rights.

Bermuda? The Bahamas? The rest of the world?

Betting the spread in two different markets.

But fifty, anyhow.

But I'm building a summer house down at the beach.

But then, you know all about that, don't you?

But why? He could have met them one at a time.

But you will do it.

But, what name?

But... we do not know you.

Bye bye, Charlie.

Bye bye.

Cable to Richemond, have Georges meet me at the airport.

Call your man.

Can we drill the box?

Car coming.

Carol, have Legal simplify these mutual accounts, huh?

Check.

Chicken salad sandwich. On white.

Code name and the number.

Come on, Jimmy.

Come on, Tommy.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Wake up, fella. You're under arrest for drunkenness,

Could be in Switzerland in numbered accounts.

Could you please give a message to Joe Meagher?

Couldn't we just pick up the car?

Criminal Investigation.

Damn it to hell. Only you. Never.

Depends on the return.

Did you ever bring

Did you have a good afternoon, sir?

Did you tell me everything?

Dinner.

Do you have any idea how much they're costing you?

Do you have that breakdown yet?

Do you play?

Don't move.

Don't move. And keep your head down!

Don't put your labels on me.

Don't test me.

Don't touch the button. Shut up!

Don't you see?

Drivin' to endanger, drivin' under the influence of alcohol.

Drop! Drop!

Earn it!

Eddy, I know he's our man. I know it.

Enjoy my money.

Enjoyment's enjoyment, Sandy. Don't worry about it.

Er...

Erwin, get the kid off the bicycle. We're gonna be late for Mother's.

Erwin.

Erwin's gonna stick around for a while. We're gonna have a little talk.

Every crime has a personality,

Every penny you spend, they'll wanna trace.

Everybody over to the wall.

Everyone who ever worked there, every customer.

Everything's here: Licence, registration.

Exactly.

Excuse me. I'll be down in just a moment.

Fifty thousand. Maybe more.

Find me a revolver.

Fine. Just fine.

Five ways in, five ways out.

Floors, please?

Folks, keep it quiet.

Folks, let's keep it quiet.

For this very rare and unusual lot of lithographs depicting the five senses.

Four million dollars. 36. Divorced.

Four out.

From old Poison Tongue. You must be terribly impressed.

Gee, thanks.

Georges.

Get it on tape, all the details, everything.

Give 'em time to think. Don't make 'em hurry.

Go out there and tell them we're gonna buy them dinner, two bucks a head.

Go.

Go.

Go.

Good day.

Good evening.

Good play by Thomas Crown.

Good. Go celebrate.

Goodnight, Erwin, dear. That's good.

Graduated from Dartmouth and Harvard, business administration.

Half remembered names and faces but to whom do they belong

Harry, why don't you take Jimmy home to his mother? With the money.

He doesn't know if I do have something.

He doesn't know if I do have something.

He knew the bank routine, he knew the layout.

He made eight trips to Europe.

He made three trips across in the last 90 days.

He put a gun in my face. You know, I was really scared.

He wants to make a deal.

He was an ordinary Iooking businessman.

He was at the bank six months. That was a long time ago.

He's a nice Iookin' boy.

He's had two full hours to himself.

He's not gonna say a thing until he sees his lawyer? That's pretty good.

He's pulling out now. Pick him up outside the cemetery.

He's the one.

He's too square.

He's too square.

Hello there.

Hello, Charlie?

Hello, Charlie?

Hello?

Hello.

Hello.

Her again. Dirty old man.

Hey, Dad!

Hey, folks! All right!

Hey, listen.

Hey, Lou,

Hey!

Hey!

Hey...

Hm mm.

Hold it.

Home to meet Mother?

How about life? No deals.

How are you, boy?

How did he get it through customs? It's rather bulky, you know.

How do you do?

How do you know there's only five?

How tactful you are.

I can't get that kind of money! I can't...

I can't tell you.

I can't. You know the Swiss. I've tried.

I could compare them in the computer.

I could contact the airlines, have them make up a list of names.

I could give you the power of attorney.

I did even worse yesterday.

I did it once

I didn't mean her.

I got the registration here.

I have more important things to do than to meet some insurance investigator.

I hope so.

I hope so.

I investigate.

I just feel it. I know he's our man.

I just sit here and do nothing?

I know it doesn't matter to you, but it drives me crazy

I place it an even thousand.

I really am.

I say I can do it again.

I still feel trapped.

I think he's in General Settlement.

I think this is Danny, the Bank Squad, isn't it?

I understand. Thank you.

I want everybody to stay real quiet

I won't be needing you tonight, John.

I wouldn't know what to do with it.

I'd like you to meet Thomas Crown. Mr Crown, Lieutenant Eddy Malone,

I'll bet you did.

I'll bury it.

I'll take your acknowledgement.

I'll tell you what I see. I see a fiasco.

I'll tell you where the pickup is.

I'm all hung up.

I'm just asking you to give her as much help as you can, to meet her.

I'm not gonna say a thing until I talk to my lawyer.

I'm on my way.

I'm running a sex orgy for a couple of freaks, on government funds!

I'm sorry.

I'm starved.

I'm sure.

I've been all over this thing.

I've got all I need.

I've got all the numbers. Steady.

I've gotta know where you're at.

I've gotta know you're on my side.

I've heard about yours.

I've missed you. It's been more than a year.

I've never brought anyone here before.

I've never seen such records. And we've been over them all.

Ideas.

If you answer questions without a lawyer...

If you didn't spend money all over, you wouldn't have so much to complain about.

If you don't have anything, what does he have to say?

In a hurry? Gonna worry?

In a minute you're gonna walk past me, in front of me

In monthly instalments, so no quick spending.

In the elevator, sweetheart, with the rest of them.

In the Supreme Court decision, Miranda case.

Internal Revenue.

Is going to charity, so have charity in your hearts

Is it dangerous?

Is that one of those red Italian things?

Is that what it all comes down to? Kicks?

Is the sound of distant drumming just the fingers of your hand

Isn't he, though?

It can't, huh?

It just can't.

It may be months, but, Erwin,

It shouldn't be. If anyone shoots, you're on your own.

It won't be easy. It won't be fast.

It'd be a shame to have to give all this up.

It'd end all my worries.

It'd spoil the fun.

It's 3.30, so wait.

It's a funny, dirty little job

It's all there.

It's an interesting picture.

It's either the Ritz upstairs or Joseph's.

It's for your birthday, but I thought I'd better give it to you now.

It's me and the system.

It's me.

It's my duty to inform you of your rights

It's my funeral.

It's not the money.

It's not the only bank. You've got Erwin and descriptions of four more.

It's the line I'm in. It's all ladies' stuff.

It's the Rolls.

It's tomorrow.

Jamie, we don't know who they are, where they are

Jamie!

Jimmy!

John, are the drinks in the bar in the library?

Joseph's.

Jungle.

Just a big, empty place, three floors

Just keep movin'

Just knock off for a bit, Sandy.

Keep following him closer all the time.

Keys that jingle in your pocket Words that jangle in your head

Left early.

Let me make a deal.

Let's advertise.

Let's cover his phones.

Let's cover his phones.

Let's finish this later.

Let's keep it quiet now.

Let's play something else.

Let's start with the money.

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face

Like a snowball down a mountain or a carnival balloon

Like a wheel within a wheel

Like ice.

Like the circles that you find

Like the circles that you find

Like the circles that you find

Listen. I have a telegram for you.

Look at him! He's filthy! I'm gonna have to give him another bath!

Looking for what?

Looks like... it's a goal!

Lovely?

Lovers walk along a shore and leave their footprints in the sand

Make out a list. Send for it now. Keep it simple. Paper plates, lots of napkins.

Marcie, get me the Turnpike Authority.

Marcie, give Phil a pencil and pad.

Marvellous.

May I say 225? Thank you very much.

Maybe he didn't.

Meanwhile, where's the money?

Merci.

Mm hmm, 6 o'clock.

Mobility? You've got more than most.

Money. What's in it for me?

Money's not funny.

Monsieur Crown. Do you have the tickets?

Moral support.

Move.

Mr Crown wishes you good luck.

Mr Crown, it's Geneva again. They've repeated the offer.

My wife.

Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel

Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel

Never, never before, after, ever met again.

Nice and easy.

Nice.

No complaints.

No numbers. Just small bills.

No questions. What you don't know can't hurt you.

No tears.

No, I said it. And not just practically.

No, it's impractical.

No, not down there at the bank.

No, we couldn't. And you won't. It's against the law.

No.

No.

No. No mother, no more wife.

Not a thing.

Not all at once.

Not for us.

Not if you love me.

Not this way.

Nothing.

Nothing. A great, big nothing.

Now boarding at gate 52.

Now I have $500. This is more near their value.

Now just stand there and turn the pages.

Now we wait.

Now what?

Now, Mr Wexler, what about the numbers on those bills?

Number one. Bank vice president, age 46.

Number two. This one is a lawyer.

Of course I'm sure.

Oh, I'll be there.

Oh, I'm sorry, but John called earlier about the rug men.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, unexpected.

Oh, Walter, why don't you take a shot at this mutual account?

Okay, now...

Okay?

Okay. Come on.

On the floor. Everybody on the floor.

On the principal accounts of all five portfolios.

Once, twice,

One of those.

Open the bags, please.

Or the ripples from the pebbles someone tosses in a stream

Or what they did with the money... your money.

Organised.

Pan American flight 863 for London

Parking in this area is limited to three minutes.

Perfect!

Perfect.

Perhaps a trip around the world.

Phil, better play waiter.

Pictures hanging in a hallway and the fragment of a song

Piranha.

Please do not leave your car unattended.

Police station?

Prove it.

Quit, run, do what you want.

Quit. Get out. Now.

Real estate. Securities.

Retire? You?

Right.

Room 515.

Round three.

Round, like a circle in a spiral

Rug men?

Samba.

Scientific.

She didn't like the sand.

She kept the children. He sounds just perfect for you.

She was just a way of putting you in touch with yourself.

She's a nice lady. We were lost.

Show me your feet. Keep your hands on that book.

Sit down.

Sit up. You're not hurt.

Sit!

Six, please.

Smile.

So am I.

So do 20,000 others.

So is the world. I'm here for the money, okay?

So shoot me in the leg.

Socially acceptable, smart as a whip and plenty of money.

Sold to Mr Thomas Crown. Thank you very much.

Some sort of business.

Someday you ought to buy a motor for that thing.

Sorry to bring you down here like this, but they can't leave the premises.

Sort of an American type head hunter.

Speaking.

Squeeze him. Keep the pressure on.

Station wagon, a Ford station wagon.

Stay just the way you are.

Steady, boy.

Step out and open up the back, will you?

Stupid?

Sugarloaf.

Suppose they only met once?

Sweet Jesus! You are something else.

Sy! Anything?

Take your time, Fred. It's only another stroker.

Taxes, records, shaky currency, people to know, people to trust.

Tell 'em I've left for the day. Book me Thursday to Geneva.

Ten percent of everything recovered.

Thank you very much, Warren. Thank you, Anna.

Thank you very much. At 250.

Thank you, Mr MacDonald.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. 350, it's the young lady's bid.

That hurts.

That the autumn leaves were turning

That wouldn't be an easy matter.

That's a sucker bet. You're faded.

That's buying and selling currency.

That's hilarious.

That's it.

That's not bad, since the first of May.

That's plus all the trading gains.

That's the third time this week.

That's too bad, Tommy. You almost made it.

That's two grand for you if you drop it in

The back side, the eighteen, less the front. I make it 20 bucks.

The bank has a computer. We have 32 witnesses who saw everything.

The bank, Mr Crown.

The big one, the one with the wood on the side.

The caper, sir.

The five files you asked for are on the desk, Lieutenant.

The hell with it. I say, pick him up.

The instructions can be any month,

The lithographs. May I give them to you?

The man in charge. I've read your reports.

The one that paid your bank. In Boston.

The same day he bought the car, he also rented a safe deposit box.

The Swiss are notoriously casual about certain formalities.

The third and last time

Then how'd he pay them off?

Then you call them. And let me know when the Bureau checks in.

There she is.

There we are.

There we go.

There we go.

There'll be further deposits, in cash, also.

There's no way out.

There's nothing here, Lou.

There's someone, a special, that we like to bring in...

They all had sunglasses and hats.

They are?

They can't make you testify.

They get their funds from a bank in Geneva.

They got Jimmy. They want $5,000.

They were measuring the house for the wall to wall carpeting you wanted.

They're all ready, sir.

They're down a full half point on that block of French francs.

They're gonna be awful nervous.

They're gonna be great.

They're gonna have a hell of a time getting it out of this marble.

They're on your back, my love.

They're right, Lou. Looks like an Army surplus smoke bomb.

Think you'll get me?

This is all my identification.

This is stupid.

This isn't my reunion, so I'll be leaving you here.

Three more days.

Three o'clock

Three seventeen

Three seventeen

Three seventeen

Thursday, Georges, Richemond. Got it.

To the colour of her hair

Tommy, for God's sake, come on.

Tommy, look out!

Tommy, you just sign there on the top line.

Tommy?

Tomorrow?

Try me.

Try.

Two trips to Geneva in May, and six since our robbery.

Two witnesses saw you drive away.

Uh huh.

Very clever.

Very good, Walter.

Vicki Anderson, Mr Crown.

Vicki, I want you to meet Lieutenant Eddy Malone of the Boston Police.

Vicki.

Wait a minute, baby.

Wall to wall carpet.

Want with two million more?

We could ask for a warrant, but we wouldn't get it.

We just saw you give $5,000 to the Goodwill.

We'll ask you a few questions, take your name and address, and you can go home.

We'll bring it in now. See you this afternoon.

We'll monkey with the bike later.

We're a pair, you and me.

We're Boston's finest.

We're both in the same business.

We're dummies.

We're gonna have statements from every one of them, in detail.

We're in this together. You wanted in.

We're up three point seven percent

We've been all through that, Jamie.

Well, a.38's a.38. No special markings.

Well, all you have to do now is bribe your way through a numbered account.

Well, gentlemen, it's a black day for banking

Well, I guess we bought ourselves a property.

Well, you were right. Erwin's cheques come from the Chase Bank in New York.

What a funny, dirty little mind.

What a man.

What about me?

What do you get for a man who has everything?

What do you have to worry about?

What do you want?

What does a guy with four million bucks

What else can we do to help you, sir?

What is this, the last supper?

What to hold,

What to sell.

What would it prove?

What's his name?

What's in this for you?

What's the big one in the back?

When five men walk in off the street and just calmly scoop up...

When the best thing you can do is to pray for an informer!

When you knew that it was over you were suddenly aware

When you start buying pieces you don't know anything about.

Where have you been? How are you, son?

Where should we go to celebrate?

Where?

Where? Where is he?

Where'd you get the money? Where'd you get the money for the car?

Where's the elevator? We're gonna miss our coffee.

Who do you work for? Bazaar? Vogue?

Who I want to be tomorrow.

Who is this?

Who is this?

Whoa! Whoa!

Why did summer go so quickly Was it something that you said

Why not?

Why should he trust them to know each other?

Why?

Why?

Wide open. There we are.

Will you open the back window, please?

Work an hour, you do an errand,

World Wide Polo?

Would you like to know where he went when he left you last night?

Wow.

Yeah?

Yeah. One's out of... order.

Yes, sir.

You aren't gonna start with that again stuff again, are you?

You can't ever spend it. Not yours. Not the bank's.

You come when I call.

You could do it for me.

You could put it that way, yes.

You couldn't get down from there in two. Never.

You do live very well, don't you?

You do now.

You don't expect us to take the loss of over $2 million lying down?

You don't love me, don't call me, don't need me, don't pay me.

You know the first thing I'm gonna do? Goose up all the rents.

You know, the one you robbed.

You know... you practically said I had something to do with the...

You let me try.

You lied to me. You ran off to New York.

You like your bike? It's a good bike, Jimmy.

You Miss Vicki?

You or me,

You said it was your funeral...

You stole a car. You kidnapped a kid. You blackmailed his father.

You sure he'll come?

You understand me? There'll be no deals.

You work your way and I'll work mine.

You'll squeeze, and so will he.

You're crazy. It can't be done.

You're gonna get ten percent, so you earn your keep.

You're joking.

You're just along for the ride.

You're lucky. We're givin' you a chance.

You're mad. Absolutely mad.

You're overpaid.

You've done too good a job.

You've gotta know what to look for.

Your finding out just what I've got.

Your wife'll divorce you. You'll never see your kid again.

Yours, mine,

Yours.

2,666,527 dollars and 62 cents.

16,24020 dollar bills.

34,4655 dollar bills.

129,000 one dollar bills.

150 years ago.

200 I have. At $200.

200. Thank you very much.

225. At 225.

About six? Perfect.

All right? Get his tie.

All right. Look.

And what address? No address.

Any calls? They're by your phone, sir.

At $300. 325.

Bill, check the airport and trains. Right, Lieutenant.

Bruno, you got something for me? Yeah, Lou, I have.

Business or pleasure? Business.

But only the nineteenth. Thank you, sir.

Buy a car. I don't...

Bye, darling. Bye.

Call the police... No, I can't call the police!

Clicking. We're clicking at last. Not so fast.

Come on. You won't like her, she...

Currency arbitrage. What's that?

Danny? Loosen his belt.

Did he have anything to say to you? He said to get in the elevator.

Did you get a receipt? No.

Did you write out a cheque for Mother? Yeah, I wrote a cheque for Mother.

Do you have anything to declare? No, nothing.

Ford wagon? Yep. And he paid cash.

Hello, boys. How much did they actually get?

Here it is, all my coats. All right.

Hey, Ben, hold it. What's the matter?

How do I know I'll get... You don't.

How long do you plan to stay in Geneva? Three days.

How you doin', chief? Okay, baby.

Huh? What do you want to eat?

I can't even read it myself. Yes, sir.

I can't. They stole your car.

I do my job. Your job?

I don't like it any more than you do. But they work for you.

I don't want any trouble. Careful with that thing.

I take it. Bury it.

I take it. Bury it.

I talk about it. He talks around it. Talk?

I want you and Alan to cover this. Vicki Anderson.

if you please. 350.

If you want to take... We'll wait.

In or out? I'm in.

It's a pleasure meeting you, Miss... Vicki.

It's all cosmetics. Open the bag.

It's exquisite. Is that the elevator? That's the elevator.

It's not worth a cent over 500. Right, Sandy.

Keep walkin'. Hold it, sweetheart.

Let's see what they got here. 300.

Marvin, State Police call in yet? Not that I know of.

May I have the pictures? Yes. They're all in order.

Meagher? Yeah, Joe Meagher.

Morning, Marv. But I'm excited.

Now, another grand. Even money?

Oh, Jesus. What else is he gonna do with it?

Oh, that's beautiful. Wait a minute.

Okay, you can go on. Right.

Ready? Goodnight. Have a good time.

Right here. Two baggages?

Same thing. Open it.

Say good night to Erwin, dear. Goodnight, Erwin, dear.

Six. Ten, please.

Stick around. I wanna talk to you. Okay.

Thank you. What a lovely old house.

That goes right to the bottom. What's in the other bag?

That's my car! Watch where you're goin'.

That's my personal belongings. Let's take a look.

That's pure geometry. Never?

That's quite a view from here. Here. Take a good look.

The fella they shot, how's he? Just a slight wound.

The same lie? Fifty to one.

The same lie? Fifty to one.

Then I can make up another list. The bank list.

Then why did you... Because I wanted to buy.

They win, we lose. So far.

This one has... That's clever.

Those characters that follow us around? Following you is following me.

Tommy, don't... Moral support. That's what I need.

Ty, is the cheque certified? I think it's all in order.

Wait him out. You'll see. I'll see, all right.

We got one good lead on our ad. Oh?

We're late as it is. All right, Sandy.

We've been doing well... Mr Crown's office.

Well, I don't have it. What would you do if you did?

What a mind. Yeah. Terrific.

What about it? Us.

What are you doing? Quiet.

What did he say? How'd you like to make 50 grand?

What the hell kind of a job is that? All right. I'm immoral.

What wall to wall carpeting? I don't know. That's why John called.

What'd he look like? I didn't see him. He was behind...

What's goin' on here? Licence and registration, please.

What's that? The bank.

What's the matter, officer? Step out of the car, please.

Where are you goin'? That's a Diners. Portland.

Where are you stayin' in Portland? Portland Motel.

Where did you meet him? New York, in a hotel.

Where's Jimmy? Hello?

Where's your camera? You remember.

Who are you, anyhow? I'm your friendly insurance man.

Who shall I say is calling? Horan. Michael Horan.

With the money returned, nobody hurt... I said, no deals!

Wouldn't the banks co operate? No, they wouldn't.

Yeah? Eddy.

Yeah. What do you want? I wanna get outta here.

Yes, sir? No calls, no exceptions.

Yes, that seems to be in order. The Mercantile account.

Yes. You're sure you find time?

You call me before you leave town. Right.

You don't need the money. It's not the money.

You find him attractive? Yeah.

You know what you are? I know what I am.

You wanna go in a different direction? I do.

You want to sign? Where'd you get the car?

You're a love to meet me. I want you to meet...

You're being had, Vicki girl. Why?

Yours. Mine?

... and fifty seconds.

'cause we're gonna be here just a little while, okay?

$2,600,000 in cash.

150. 150 I have.

250. 250 I have.
