[Music]

Well, I'm delighted you agree.

It will mean the end of Paz's
dictatorship and pave the

way for the Democratic
Liberation Government to take over.

You have my word.

Good night, Mr. President.

Congressman Marks.

Who are you?

How did you get in here?

Please forgive the intrusion, but I
wish to speak with you in private.

I have an office for appointments.
Call my secretary in the morning.



Now, if you'll please leave.

Representative Marks, the
privacy is for your sake, not mine.

Permit me to introduce
myself. I am Servante

Faldone, Commissioner
of Security in Parencia.

A ten million dollar aid bill to my country
is being considered by your committee.

I hope your plans are
to see that it is passed.

There's no reason for me
to divulge my plans to you.

However, it doesn't really matter if
you learn it tonight or in five days.

The bill will not be passed.

Premier Paz will be very disappointed.

Undoubtedly, since so little of the
money reaches the people of Parencia.

Now, if you don't mind, I... I must
insist on just a few more minutes.

Excuse the bad quality of these
photographs, they do not do you justice.

A bedroom is not a studio.



And that...

Who could blame you for enjoying
yourself with such a beautiful young lady?

Blank paper.

Of course.

Look at it this way.

What is an under ten million
dollars to your country?

[Music].

[Music]

[Music]

Oh, look, Al, I'm not asking you to spy.

Just asking you to steal.

[Music]

Oxen, I know that this is a frame up
and they're not gonna get away with it.

How did they get the pictures?

The usual way.

On his last visit to Parencia, he
suddenly became ill during a dinner.

And the last thing he remembers
is a doctor giving him a shot.

And the next morning?

And the next morning, Premier Paz
told him it was an attack of tomain.

And apologies were extended.

And that was the end
of that until yesterday.

When Cervantes Valdon,
Parencia's commissioner of

security, showed up here
in Washington with these.

Al, I want to put this
one on a personal basis.

I need you.

You need me to go to Parencia
to steal the negatives, right?

Right.

But you only have five days to do it in.

Because that's when the International
Business Affairs Committee meets.

You know, I haven't
been too happy on some

of the assignments that
you put me on, Noah.

But in this case, I agree with you.

Thanks, Al. I knew I could count on you.

I started the wheels turning last night.

Come on.

There's a plane leaving
for Rome in 40 minutes.

40 minutes?

That's right, 40 minutes.

And from there, you'll catch a connecting
flight to Milan, the capital of Parencia.

Not wanting to create any
suspicion, we didn't make

any sudden application for
a visa, so we borrowed one.

You'll be traveling as Thad the Great.

Who?

Thad Bronson, a magician.

In four days' time,
he's scheduled to give a

special performance
in front of Premier Paz.

It's a nut about magic.

That gives you a great cover
and perfect access to the palace.

Wait a minute.

What is it?

I'm going to give a magic show?

Well, I feel confident
that you will get the

negatives, destroy them,
and get back before them.

Yeah, but what if I don't?

Well, look, we didn't have
time to set up anything else.

We explained to Thad
Bronson that it was a matter of

national security, and he
was willing to go along with us.

The least you can do is cooperate.

Now, here is your burglar tools,
your passport, and your visa.

And don't worry about a thing.

I'll lock up the apartment, and
don't worry about the clothes.

You and Thad are about
the same size, and his

luggage is already
there down at the airport.

Noah.

What is it?

I don't know anything about magic.

Well, you can begin practicing
right now by disappearing.

Hi.

Well, they started by
serving meals, then movies.

I was wondering what they
were going to come up with next.

I'm Thad the Great.

How do you know?

I'm Thad's assistant, Roxanne.

How do you do?

Hello.

He told me the government
asked to have someone take

his place, and everything's
very, very hush-hush.

What was that about?

That was the recognition sign.

Didn't they tell you?

No.

That's it.

A counter sign.

You mean they didn't tell you either?

You're terrific.

You're terrific.

You're going to be a lot of fun.

You never can tell.

Do you know anything about magic?

Not a thing.

Well, I'll be glad to teach
you all the tricks I know.

I can hardly wait.

Welcome to Parencia.

Mr.
Young, Mr. Bronson, I am Sarvanta Valdomi.

How do you do?

It was very kind of His
Excellency to send his

limousine to meet
our plane at the airport.

Premier Paz wishes to see
that you are well taken care of,

so anything I can do to be of
service, you have only to ask.

Well, you could satisfy my curiosity.

What is the significance
of the bumper

stickers I saw on the
way in from the airport?

Bumper stickers?

Yes, a broken chain on a white background.

I noticed them everywhere.

There's one on your limousine.

Excuse me.

Stupid fools.

Maurice, take it off.

Forgive me.

It is obviously the work of
what you would call furor lumps.

Nothing more.

I see.

Would you come this way, please?

Your country is absolutely beautiful.

Thank you.

This way, please.

I'd be more than pleased to personally
escort you on a tour of our historic city.

I'd be delighted.

I'd like to see as much
as possible of the country.

Will we have time for that?

This is your room, Mr. Bronson.

I don't see why not.

We have four days before
we have to put the show on.

Oh, I forgot.

The premier asked if it would be possible
for you to do the show tomorrow night.

Do the show tomorrow night?

Yes.

Of course, you can stay
on on Parency as long

as you'd like, but urgent
matters have arisen,

and he would be most grateful if
you could accommodate the change.

Well?

Is there any reason why you could
not do the show tomorrow night?

No.

No.

Fine.

Good.

[music]

Hi.

I thought you might want
to go over a few things.

What do you have in mind?

Not what you have in mind.

Are you and Thad... Oh, no.

No.

Thad's a happily married man who
doesn't even think of me as a girl.

Nobody is that happily married.

Look, help me with some
of these things, will you?

What is this?

That is a flip-over box.

A flip-over box.

Hmm, I'll show you how it works.

First, you open the box.

Were they on the plane with us
or did they fly over by themselves?

Now, put the bird inside.

Close the box.

Voila!

Where's the dove?

(knocking at door)

Come in.

I hope you are both comfortable.

Yes, we are.

Thank you.

The premier is anxious to meet you.

Would you join him in the reception hall?

It would be our pleasure.

Excellent.

He'll be most pleased.

Oh, yes.

Michelle is looking
forward to seeing you again.

Michelle?

Yes.

Michelle, New York, three years ago.

Oh, yes.

Michelle.

I look forward to meeting her.

Again.

Who is Michelle?

I haven't any idea.

What are you going to do?

That's a good question.

What did you do with the dove?

What are you telling me, Valdone?

That you are incapable
of handling the situation?

Not at all, sir.

But in order to
successfully stop a total

revolution, I will need
a great deal of money.

Yes, well, our Washington
embassy informs me that our

annual foreign aid check will
come through any day now.

You will have your money.

I hope so, your excellency.

You may proceed upon that assumption.

After all, Uncle Sam
has never yet let us down.

Ah, Michelle, how lovely you
made yourself for our guest of honor.

Only to please you, excellency.

And you do know how to please me, my dear.

In words as well as deeds.

Duke of England, represents Miss
Roxanne Young and Mr. Fred Bronson.

How do you do, your excellency?

Charmed.

I look forward to meeting you.

And I you.

Magic has for long been my avocation.

I hope you have no objection to amateurs.

Oh, no, I have a deep sympathy
for the struggling amateur.

You have no idea.

I had expected a somewhat older man.

You must have started in
magic when you are very young.

As soon as I could say abracadabra.

Of course, you know Michelle.

Yes, we met before in New York.

It's nice to see you again.

I'd like to have you meet
my assistant, Roxanne.

How do you do?

Hello.

I'm so pleased you remember me.

It's not difficult to remember
such a beautiful lady.

Thank you.

Besides, I've seen your picture recently.

Oh, where?

It was in the society
column or in a magazine.

It ran with an article entitled
"Dictators I've Known".

You have a courageous sense of humor.

I like that.

Not many men would have said what you said.

Well, with my act, you've got to have guts.

[Laughter]

[Music]

Come in.

I'll be with you in a second, sweetheart.

Take your time.

I was expecting Roxanne.

Life seems to be full of the unexpected.

May I?

You are great.

But you're not Thad the Great.

Who are you?

I'm a thief.

I asked you who you were.

If you don't tell me the truth,
I'll tell Paz you're an imposter.

I am telling you the truth.

I'm a thief.

I read in the paper
that Thad the Great was

going to give a performance
here at the palace.

I also know that Paz owns a gorgeous hunk
of diamond, known as the Star of Madrid.

I want to own it.

If you were really a
thief, you wouldn't admit it.

If you didn't have an angle, you'd
have blown the whistle on me downstairs.

You're right about that.

You want something,
but how can I believe you?

(music)

That doesn't prove anything.

The way you kiss, I could
have stolen a lot more.

You said you wanted something?

I want to get out of Parencia.

Why?

I'm just another one of Paz's possessions.

Sooner or later, he's going to get tired of
me, and I don't want to wait around for it.

Why don't you just leave?

I've put in too many years
to just leave with nothing.

Listen, I'll make a deal with you.

Steal a few other pieces of
jewelry from me, enough for

me to get a start somewhere
else, and I won't expose you.

All right, you've got a deal.

Where is his private safe?

There's a government vault in the
library, someplace behind the bookcases.

Is that where he keeps his
important papers? Jewelry?

I don't know if the Star of Madrid is
there now, but he has kept it there.

Fine.

You have saved me a lot of time.

And when you've taken the Star of
Madrid, if you're still in a taking mood...

I am always in a taking
mood, but one job at a time.

A job?
I was offering you recreation, not work.

I always take everything
I do very seriously.

We'll get into that later.

Ah, Tony, I want you to meet someone.

Tade, Roxanne, this is Antonio
Agne, my young fencing instructor.

How do you do?

Tony, will you seat Michelle over there?

Tade, Roxanne, on that side, if you please.

Thank you.

I wonder where my
commissioner of police is.

Valdone!

Premier Paz has invited me to
your performance tomorrow night.

I understand you are
an extraordinary talent.

I can promise an evening full of surprises.

Excuse me for being late.

Tony, where is your car?

My car?

Yes.

It's in the driveway
in front of the palace.

Valdone, what is this all about?

I just looked. It is not there.

Valdone!

Forgive me.

Tony, your car is outside.

I parked it there not
more than ten minutes ago.

There is no green roadster
in front of the palace.

Green roadster?
I reported it stolen last week.

Has it been found?

Yes, with four bullets.

Later, we have guests now.

Yes, we should talk
about it tomorrow morning.

Will you sit down?

Last month, when I was in England,
I made a point of seeing Chadwick.

Oh, yes, he's one of Thad's
favorites, especially his lighting bulbs.

One of my very favorites.

You know, I've never figured
out how those bulbs work.

I was given to understand that
you designed that trick for him.

Well, I did.

But don't ask me how it works.

You're too modest, Thad.

That's one of my faults.

Oh, excellent!

Excellent! Isn't that marvelous?

Thad, as a special favor for me, will you
do your famous shredded newspaper trick?

After dinner, perhaps.

Oh, of course. Forgive me, I've been rude.

Ladies and gentlemen, I propose a toast.

A toast to Thad the Great.

Thank you.

[Music]

All right.

[Music]

This goes like this.

[Music]

Right?

[Music]

Right.

[Music]

How do you do that?

I don't know how it works.
I just know it does.

[Music]

Well, I told Paz we'd be back in 15
minutes. We have time to try one more.

[Music]

One complete.

[Music]

Bravo, bravo! That's marvelous.

Oh, just this one trick that...
Oh, please, you must teach me this.

Your Excellency, it's against
the magician's unwritten code.

But perhaps in this case,
I'll make an exception.

[Chuckles]

But that'd be sleep, I would.

[Music]

[Music]

[Dog barks]

[Music]

Mr. Bronson, I should
appreciate an explanation.

Well, it, uh...
It looks like you've caught me.

I am in no mood for humor.

I'm setting up a trick.

A trick?

Yes, I'm sure that with your
knowledge of magic, you realize

that certain tricks take a
great deal of preparation.

You see, tomorrow morning I
was going to have you think of a

card, and then you would find
that card here in your desk drawer.

Yes, that would be quite
a good trick, if it could

work, and a very good
explanation, if I believed you.

Do you?

We shall see.

The guards will escort
you back to your room.

Good night. I'm sorry I disturbed you.

Oh, by the way, name a card. Any card.

Two of clubs.

Clubs.

Diamonds.

Spades.

Hearts.

You're right, that is an easy trick.

Sure, you just have to
remember what pocket each suit of

cards is in, and then come
to it from the top or bottom.

Well, it sure saved my
neck last night, I think.

Michel is right, you are great.

What's the matter?

This may sound trite, but
business before pleasure.

[Music]

Anyway, I am convinced that Tony is
mixed up in the resistance movement.

Have you located his car yet?

Yes, it was definitely used
in the raid on the armory.

But hadn't he reported it stolen already?

Yes, but I'm sure it was on
as a cover so they could use it.

And then, an hour ago, my men found two
of the stolen rifles in his mother's house.

Well, our fencing lesson this
afternoon should be most instructive.

Good work, Valdone.

Thank you, sir.

Have I cut enough strips?

Yes, yes, yes.

Now, this is the way.

We take it here carefully, fold it once
here, bring it round, and a half turn.

We should...

Sir, by the way, I took the
Liberty after last night's incident to call

our embassy in Washington to make
sure Mr. Fabb the Great is a magician.

I personally have no doubts on that matter.

A magician without any sidelines.

And then Chi-Chi started
barking, and he caught me.

But I found the safe.

You found it?
I thought the idea was to open it.

You really know how
to hurt a guy, don't you?

Michel and Fabb must
be discussing old times.

Sir, there is a call from
the embassy in Washington.

Thank you, I'll take it here.

Excuse me.

I found out the safe is on a time lock.

What does that mean to an amateur?

Bad news, even to a professional.

It's tough to get around,
but it can be done.

Do you know what time
the safe is set to open?

Well, I never really paid much attention.

Sometime in the afternoon, I think.

I've got to know exactly.

You have access to the palace.

You're the only one that can help me.

See what you can find out.

How soon do you need to know?

By tonight.

I'm going to crack that safe during
Fabb the Great's performance.

Oh, but that's impossible.

Your shows in the reception
hall, that's right on top of the safe.

You'll never get away with it.

They'll see you.

They won't see me.

If Fabb the Great's performance is any
good, now get going, you've got work to do.

Thank you, well done.

Oh, and by the way, will
you please let us know

about any progress on
Congressman Marx's aid bill?

Goodbye.

Well, that is a very interesting report.

Our embassy confirms that Mr. Fabb
the Great is nothing more than a magician.

Well, what is so interesting about that?

Who has been appearing
professionally for over 30 years.

He looks remarkably well preserved
for a man who must be at least 50.

Yes, that is very interesting.

And isn't it also very interesting
that Michel met him previously

and did not bother to let us
know he was an imposter?

Why do I have to watch you fence?

I had a headache and
was on my way to my room.

I said you will stay.

Good afternoon, Your Excellency.

Good afternoon, Tony.

A new epee?

Yes, a gift from Valdone.

It suits me perfectly, don't you think?

Oh, no, I think we shall practice
this afternoon without those.

After all, the epees are tipped.

There is always a
possibility of an accident.

My dear boy, there will be no accidents.

Shall we?

Valdone is rather concerned
that your car was used in the raid.

I explained to him that it was stolen.

Yes, of course, but Valdone
is suspicious of everyone.

Foolish, I know what that is after all.

Why, he is my commissioner
of security police.

Valdone was not satisfied with the
fact that your car was reported stolen.

So he searched your house.

Tony, you yourself have often
told me, always keep your guard up.

Of course, he found nothing.

I could have told you that.

Of course, you could have.

But then he had your
mother's house searched.

Would it surprise you,
Tony, to learn that they

found there several rifles
stolen from the armory?

And the most curious
cache of automobile placards.

Yes.

Is this not, Tony, the
symbol of this new so-called

Democratic liberation
party of our country?

Yes?

Don't bother trying to remove
the tip of your own weapon, Tony.

That one has been welded on.

Remember, Tony, you
yourself taught me how to fence.

So if I kill you today, you've
only yourself to blame.

You've got to be out of your mind.

There is no way you can get away with it.

There's only one thing
that can get in my way.

Valdone.

Chi-Chi.

Why did you keep me here?
So I could watch you murder him?

Murder?

It was an accident, Michelle.
You saw it yourself.

Somehow the tip loosened on my épée.

After all, accidents can happen to anyone.

Even to you.

Why should I have an accident?

Because you did not tell me
that Thad the Great is an imposter.

I don't know what you mean.

Who is he?

He's Thad the Great.
He's the man I met three years ago.

You're lying.

I'm not. He's Thad.

Oh, darling, what's happened?
Why are you accusing me?

Haven't I always done
everything you wanted?

After all, I helped you
frame Congressman Marx.

Yes, so you did.

Aside from Valdone.

Who else have you trusted with
the knowledge that he was doped?

I'd forgotten how very
much I have trusted you.

Yes, I do trust you.

Excuse me.

You must forgive me now, my dear.

We must go to report this tragic accident.

Oh, Thad, have you seen Roxanne?
She was supposed to meet me at 2.15.

2.15?

Yes, that's right.

No, I haven't seen her.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Anytime.

You wanted to see me, Your Excellency?

Yes.

I'm busy preparing some things for my show.
Was there anything special?

I'm so sorry to disturb you,
Thad, but there's been an accident.

An accident?

Yes. You see, the tip on
my new epée became loose

and it fell off without my
realizing it. Poor Tony.

Yes, it was a horrible, dreadful accident.

Oh, well, I am sorry.
He seemed like a very nice man.

He was.

Oh, you want me to cancel my show
tonight out of respect for poor Tony?

No, that's not why I called
you down here, Thad.

No?

You see, I am more
concerned with another

matter. More concerned
even than for poor Tony.

What is it, Your Excellency?

You.

Me?

Yes, I wonder if you can
explain something to me, Thad.

It has come to my
attention that Thad the Great

has been performing
on stage for 30 years.

Can you explain to me
how you can be that man?

Well, sir, I am waiting.

Can you explain to me
how you can be a man

who has been performing
on stage for 30 years?

Your Excellency, I am
obviously not that man.

I'm Thad Junior.

Thad Junior?

Yes, my father retired five years
ago, and I took advantage of being

Thad the Great's son and started
with an already established career.

Who'd you think I was?

Well, actually it's... Well, Michelle
met me three years ago in New York.

She certainly would have
said something to you.

Yes, I had considered that.

Well, then if that's all you wanted
to know, I do have things to take

care of for this evening's show,
Your Excellency. May I be excused?

Yes, of course you may go.

Thank you.

Well, what do you think?

I think I will watch Thad
the Great's performing

technique with
special interest tonight.

(applauses)

I'm worried about Michelle.

She hasn't shown up.

You better worry about
Thad the Great. Paz is

watching you like a hawk
and he knows his magic.

You're right.

Thank you.
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm going to depart
from my usual routine this

evening and make a
special offer to Premier Paz.

Instead of my making Roxanne
disappear, she will make me disappear.

You may come up and examine
the apparatus after the trick.

And if you can figure out
the illusion, I will then divulge

to you the secret of my famous
shredded newspaper trick.

I'll need three minutes.

One, two, three.

[applause]

[music]

[dog barking]

[music]

[music]

Kissing, now, yeah?

[laughter]

[dog barking].

[laughter]

Well, I must admit it, I
don't know how they got out.

Would you care to check the panels again?

No, I'm afraid it would be no use.

You may make them reappear now.

Now?

Yes, right now.

Why don't you have a seat and watch the
whole illusion from a better vantage point?

(music)

One.

Two.

Three.

[applause]

That's me.

[laughter].

[applause]

Feel better?

I've just never been so scared in my life.

You've been great up till now.

There's something I want you to do for me.

I want you to go and change into
a negligee and come back here.

A negligee? At a time like this?

I know this is hard to
believe, but I won't be here.

Well, then why?

Because if someone
comes in here looking for

me, and they find you in a sheer negligee,
they'll know that I'm somewhere close by.

And besides, I'm not
going to be gone all night.

[clock ticking]

[clock ticking]

[clock ticking]

[tense music]

[tense music]

(tense music)

Excuse me, Excellency, I saw the lights.

[groans]

Almost.

Almost is not good enough for pants.

But please show me.

Well, you've been such a gracious host.

Oh, thank you, thank you.

Did you see who it was?
Servant? Rebel, perhaps?

I caught only a glimpse, but as I
turned around, I thought I recognized...

Well, go on.

It looked like His Excellency's
guest, Thad the Great.

Now, this is the most difficult part.

Do not move, Mr. Bronson.

Well, darn it, point those guns away.
What has happened?

Someone attempted to break into the vault.

Did they succeed?

We don't know yet.
The technicians are opening the vault now.

In the meantime, I have your
permission to search, Mr. Bronson.

Mr. Bronson is my personal guest.

I understand, Your Excellency,
but one of the guards claims

he was attacked by someone
closely resembling Mr. Bronson.

And may I remind you that
the vault contains valuables of

specific interest to America, and
that Mr. Bronson is an American.

Yes, that's true.

Thad, I do apologize for this,
but after all, I am in charge of

security for my people, so if you
would not object to being searched...

Your Excellency, may I remind you that we
are in the middle of a very complex trick.

Now, if you want to forget about
the trick... No, no, no, no, not at all.

Well, darn it, as you can
see, Mr. Bronson does not

object at all to being searched
after we finish the trick.

Now, turn around, both of you.

Excellency!

Turn around!

Thad, please go.

Now, put this here, see?

Yes.

Now you take this.

Yes.

Fold the top part of the paper up.

Yes.

Now here's the problem.

Ah.

Put the thumb here.

Ah, yes.

Now, then this... Mm-hmm.

Turn it over.

Yes.

Wait.

Now, you see, this is the
most difficult part, right?

Yes.

Right in here.

Yes, it's your... Ah!

Oh, how stupid of me.

I made the wrong... Ah.

I'm terribly sorry, Your Excellency.

Sir, I must insist.

If your guest is not involved,
I'm losing valuable time.

Ah, yes, Valdone, you are right.

Thad, I am so sorry, but
Valdone must conclude his search

here so that he may continue
the investigation elsewhere.

Your Excellency, I've never been
subjected to this kind of treatment before.

Thad, I cannot tell you
how much I regret this,

but after all, it is a
question of state security.

I'm sure you'll understand, Valdone.

Search him!

Ah, Thad, please let me do it.

That's nonsense.

Now, what have we here?

Mr. Bronson, these amateurs
have no knowledge of magic.

Your Excellency, you explain.

Well, I do not wish to pry into your professional
secrets, Thad, but I would prefer you to

explain this to Valdone personally, because
he has a latent fear of anything mechanical.

Oh, I see.

Commissioner Valdone, that is a light
dimmer, as Your Excellency well knows.

In the world of magic,
sometimes we do tricks that don't

function well under a bright
light, so we use a light dimmer.

Certainly, I knew that all
along, but for Valdone's

enlightenment, I wished him
to hear it from your own lips.

I am not convinced.

Mr. Bronson was not with
you at the time of the attempt.

Sir, the technicians will have
the vault open within minutes.

Thank you.

Now, when we know what was stolen,
we will know where to find the thief.

Now we'll see.

The film is gone.

It is the American, exactly as I predicted.

Except of our other valuables,
for example, the Star of Madrid.

Yes, it's gone, and probably
everything else of value here, too.

Well, if it's not the American, then who?

There's your answer, Valdone.

It should have been obvious to you.

The Democratic Liberation Party.

Of course.

Did you not yourself tell me they
have friends close to the palace?

We will not receive our annual foreign
aid payment from the United States.

The revolutionists will
have a stranglehold upon us.

Who knows what they will demand?

How did they get in?

Why didn't we see them
on the palace grounds?

Why didn't we see... Valdone!

With the revolutionists in the city,
do not stand here questioning me.

Go on, move, do something.

(ominous music)

My dear Thad, can you ever
forgive this unfortunate incident?

Oh, it's all too exciting
for me, Your Excellency.

When I couldn't do my shredded newspaper
trick, one of my simplest delusions,

I realized I've reached
an emotional impasse.

I'm terribly sorry, but I'm afraid I'll
have to show you my secrets on a...

on a future trip.

I will not let you go...

until you promise me that Thad the
Great will one day return to Parencia.

Oh, you have that promise. On my word.

As a magician.

Thank you, I'm just happy to
have been of service, Mr. Bain.

Oh, incidentally, you have a
very fine man in Mr. Mundy.

He always put the job first.

I mean, even in the face of temptations
that would have crumbled a weaker man.

Temptation, huh?

Look, what could she be talking about, Al?
Nothing.

There was this girl,
Michelle, very obvious type.

She was trying to get Al to
steal the Star of Madrid for her.

But was he taken in by her primitive wiles?

Not on your life, he stuck straight
to the job and never flinched.

I'm not even sorry what happened to her.

What did happen to her?

Look, Roxanne, there's no
need to bring that up now.

That's just it, nobody knows.
She disappeared.

Oh, she disappeared.

Well, that can happen in Parencia, yes.

Again, our thanks, Miss Young.

(door bell ringing)

Oh, that must be the men coming to
pick up Thad the Great's equipment.

Wait a minute. What?

Picking up Thad the Great's equipment?
Yeah.

Well, no, I haven't had a chance to check
it out between Parencia and the apartment.

Well, that's all right.

But, you see, we left there
in such a hurry that Thad...

Just put up Mark Thad the Great. Start
in the living room and leave the luggage.

I'd feel terrible if anything happened
to poor old Thad's equipment.

Oh, stop worrying.
My men can check it out thoroughly.

(music)

Poor old Thad's equipment, huh?

Mm-hmm.
I'll take the Star of Madrid, too, please.

I wonder what happened to the dove.

[Music].
