Richard Walker : You goddamn right, there is some mistake.
Man in Leather : Cool it. Cool it. Just cool it, mister. We're only asking the young lady a few questions.

Michelle : He was.
Man in Tweed : So, then you left the statue in the locker, right?
Michelle : The suitcase.
Man in Tweed : The suitcase?

Man in Leather : Bullshit! That's bullshit! The plane was packed. She didn't know where I was sitting.
Michelle : Oh the stewardess spilled coffee on you. He has a bad temper.
Man in Tweed : Yes, he has. So, you saw him at the station, right?
Michelle : By the lockers.
Man in Tweed : And you panicked? And...

Michelle : No, just the suitcase.
Man in Tweed : You took the statue out.
Michelle : No, it wasn't there.
Man in Tweed : Where was the statue, dear?
Michelle : In another suitcase.
Man in Leather : [starts pulling Michelle's hair] What is this crap? What other suitcase? What other suitcase? Do you think we are idiots? Or what?
Michelle : I don't think you're an idiot. Please.

Michelle : What do you want from me?
Richard Walker : [holding matches from the Blue Parrot] Look familiar?
Michelle : Where did you get that?
Richard Walker : Your suitcase.
Michelle : So you have it! Then pay me what you owe me. I did my job.
Richard Walker : Job?
Michelle : That's right. You know what I mean.
Richard Walker : No, I don't know what you mean. All I know is I that I have your suitcase and you have my wife's. Do you understand?
[shouting]
Richard Walker : You picked up the wrong suitcase at the airport!

Man in Tweed : Once again, where is it?
Michelle : I don't know!
Man in Leather : Like hell you don't! Slut!
Man in Tweed : They don't teach you to talk to young girls. Keep it in English and cut the good cop, bad cop shit. There's no time. Come on, we're French. We understand each other, don't we? Trust us. We don't go around cutting throats. We're no bandits. We're just not that kind of people. We can protect you. Show us some good will and we'll show you good will, okay?
Man in Leather : At the airport in San Francisco, a blond guy kissed on both cheeks? What did he say?
