Mr. Ferren, I'll make you a very good offer.

- I'll give you 240 for your car? - How much did you say?

Two hundred and fifty.

Wait a minute, Mr. Ferren, listen.

Please. My last offer,

Two hundred and sixty. Okay? Because I don't get 300.

Do you know how much I paid for this only three months ago?

Oh, yes. But...

but it's very difficult to sell today.

- You see... - How much is this for?

- This? 300,000. - Nice car.

Yes, yes, yes.

All right, 300,000.

No, Mr. Ferren.

I'm so sorry, that's imposs...

Okay.

Thank you. Please.

"Mr. Ferren,

Three hundred thousand Schillings."

I'll take 50 Schillings in cash and the rest by check.

"Fifty Schillings in cash..."

I won't need you until five o'clock.

How are you, Andr�?

I really appreciate this information.

If they'd have told me, I'd have never gone into it.

Did you hear the rumor about Connecticut General?

Oh, they're just playing both ends against the middle, that's all.

- Don't pay any attention to it. - Are you sure?

Positive.

Good morning.

Good morning, Mr. Ferren.

- Good morning. - Morning, Susan.

Syatamin just went down four and a half in the last 20 minutes.

- You're new here? - Yeah.

- Do you like it? - It's all right.

Don't buy now.

- Susan. - Funds are dumping all over the place.

Listen, get me a 1000 shares of Dyna Bridge incorporated now.

- Dyna Bridge? Are you kidding? - Never mind.

I got a call from Baltimore last night.

They're going to announce a merger this afternoon.

- Andr�. - What?

Where's the money?

The last reserves.

Get me a 1000 shares of Dyna Bridge Incorporated, US.

Make up a receipt and duplicate for Mr. Ferren.

Okay.

Miss Winters.

- What is it? - Hermann Rolf,

in person.

Yes, Mr. Rolf.

Oh no, I haven't forgotten.

Hermann?

Hermann, you can speak with Mr. Ferren directly.

He's just arrived.

Uh huh.

A smile is marvelous therapy for confidence deficiency.

But many men are unaware of this,

because they have never attempted to smile in the face of fear.

Try this small experiment.

Andr�.

Try to pull your feet in, and smile broadly at the same time.

- It's almost... - Andr�?

Confidence flows from smiling.

A big smile conquers terror, pushes away anxiety,

downs despondency.

A genuine smile does more than cure your queasy stomach.

A genuine...

What's wrong?

- Something's wrong. - Hermann Rolf just called me.

He called you. Why you? It's my account.

He's unhappy.

Now, don't get excited.

He's unhappy?

Andr�, I'm not going to tell you if it's gonna make you horny.

He went over his quarterlies, and he's down nine million.

He's down?

The whole world is going down. Why should he be any different?

He doesn't like it.

Andr�.

Hermann Rolf is unhappy.

Yes, he's upset about the Europic.

Eupropic? How about Farpan International?

Yes, he screamed about that one.

What else did he say?

Andr�, if you can't control yourself,

I'm not going to tell you anything more.

He says you're gonna lose the account.

He wants to report you to the Commission.

He says you mismanaged his portfolio.

And he wants to make it public.

Andr�, he's going to ruin you.

But he wants to discuss it with me.

He wants to take me out.

He asked you out?

What did you say?

I said no.

You said "no" to Hermann Rolf?

Why?

Six hundred million dollars.

It's a catastrophe.

Andr�, you've got to learn to stop this.

Or find a place where you'll only hear good news.

Maybe the whole world is going under, but I'm not.

Really?

What do you propose?

Listen.

Maybe we can save ourselves.

- No, we can't. - Yes, we can.

But if it doesn't work out, we're done for.

We're ruined.

What's that?

That's for you.

I can't eat that. I hate pastries.

I know.

Come on, tell me what happened.

Nothing, I was very blunt.

I said, "You know a girl just doesn't get married on a whim."

Come on, you didn't say that.

Mm.

I said, "Hermann, you've already had four wives,

what do you want with another one?"

Now, why did you do that?

I said, "You're very generous and kind.

But I'm an ordinary girl from St. Paul,

and I don't think I can live up to your standards."

But, that's absurd.

"Hermann," I said,

"perhaps I can be your confidante,

your advisor.

Because everyone around you is trying to rob you blind."

What the hell did you tell him that for?

"Except Mr. Ferren,

who is the only one who has your best interests at heart."

What did he say to that?

His monocle twitched.

"Twitched?" What do you mean "twitched?"

Twitched.

And then...

And then? Then what?

Then he took my hand and said,

"But darling, you are my standards.

But..."

- But? - "But..."

But what?

"Why do you have to be so skinny?"

You'd better eat some more.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

May I help you?

No, thank you. It's all right.

Susan?

What are you doing in here?

Do you know that there are some of the best financial contacts

in Europe out there?

What's the matter?

I just realized I finally got married.

Now I won't be able to see you anymore.

Darling.

You can see me whenever you want.

Going away in an hour?

I don't know when I'll see you.

Don't worry, darling.

Look, he'll have to divorce you.

In six months' time, I'll create a scandal.

You'll be free again.

We'll be together wherever you want.

Come on, six months is nothing.

It's just... It's just two quarterly reports.

Come on.

Two horrible quarterly reports.

You're gonna get some money.

Susan.

The cake is arriving.

Will you cut it with me?

Yes, dear.

Hermann?

Hermann, I'd like to thank you

for giving my company the total of your account.

If it makes Susan happy.

Take the young lady wherever she likes

- and pick me up at 5 'o clock. - Sir.

It certainly has become more of a challenge

to stay abreast of rapid changes in the market.

However, proceeding as Mr. Ferren does,

goes far beyond our concepts of reasonable.

Gentlemen.

I'm sorry I'm late, but, my mother died this morning.

What am I saying? She died five years ago.

Hi. Hi, how are you?

Hey Don, how are you? How was your trip from New York?

Fine. Thank you.

Andr�, I'd like you to meet Howard Blatt,

whose expertise our company sometimes calls upon

to check on tough guys like you.

Mr. Blatt.

Mr. Ferren.

We went through your quarterly reports for the past nine months,

since you took over the entire Rolf account.

I would like to express my admiration for your capacity

for high quality performance

in this unstable and dangerous period in the world's economy.

If you hadn't been successful,

I wouldn't consider your pattern a sound investment policy.

But as we all know, one cannot argue with success.

I have to compliment your courage.

You sell short,

you create dubious markets,

you borrow from one account to cover another,

and you speculate quite dangerously

with the funds of your most valuable clients.

An over-extension of your ability to take extraordinary chances

could jeopardize your company's standing

in the international financial community.

This does not ignore the fact that you are a highly imaginative

and talented investment counsellor

of a particular type.

Based on my previous experience,

you will probably continue to be a hero to your superiors and clients...

until you happen to run out of luck.

I have just one point I would like to clear up.

Is this your signature?

It looks like it. I think it is.

On that signature, two and a half million dollars worth of stock were sold

from the Rolf portfolio.

It was deposited on the 9th of November,

into a numbered account in Basel, Switzerland.

Now, the company wants that money back.

I must compliment you again, Mr. Ferren.

This transaction would not have come to light so quickly

had it not been for the unanticipated audit

which was required by the revamping of the company's computer system.

You have two choices, Mr. Ferren.

Either return the money in the ten banking days

remaining before Hermann Rolf's next audit,

or you don't return the money,

and the company is forced to make restitution

to avoid an international scandal.

The company of course will do that.

But I leave to your imagination

the ultimate price you will have to pay.

You see, it's really very simple.

I had nothing to do with it.

I sign letters all the time.

That's my job.

Papers, papers. Bits and pieces, that's all.

Two and a half million dollars from the Rolf account?

Bits and pieces. That's all it is.

See, I sell short,

but I create markets.

I'm a particular individual.

Is this your signature? No, huh?

You're a particular individual.

See, I sign letters all the time. That's my job.

Papers, papers. Bits and pieces. Bits and pieces!

Two and a half million!

Bits and pieces, that's all it is.

I want a complete audit of all that guy's transactions

during the past four year period.

We shall offer him an opportunity to resign gracefully.

Woo!

Yip yip, yoohoo!

Okay.

All right?

I can't see anything.

Come on, upright.

Follow me.

Mrs. Rolf, apartment 12, please.

I think she's out.

Susan?

Susan?

How can she do this to me?

Susan?

Two and a half million dollars.

I'm finished. I'm finished.

Well, well, well.

Sinbad the Sailor, right out of the blue.

No, not out of the blue.

Just over the roof, from around the corner.

Hi, partner.

Hey, what's the matter?

- Aren't you glad to see me? - Oh, I'm thrilled to see you...

partner.

But, wasn't it supposed to be someplace else

by this time? Just you and me. Remember?

Look. It didn't work out the way we planned, but...

Not doing too badly, huh?

No. Serving my time.

Doing all the dirty work

while you've been out gallivanting all over Europe.

But it's nice of you to drop by.

Hey, Susan, you're not going to believe this, but...

someone's been putting the screws on me.

Somebody set me up. Me? Can you imagine?

And you know for how much?

Are you ready for this?

For two and a half million dollars.

I've got get myself out of this mess.

That's why I came back.

Well, I don't know how to help you, Andr�.

And, I don't think I want to.

I think I need a hug.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Whoa, Susan. - Watch out.

Sit down.

Whoa, wait.

Whoa.

Come on.

- There you go. - This is just ridiculous.

You're doing much better. Really you are. Come on.

I just want to die.

Why can't I have a helicopter to get me out of here?

Look how far down you've come from the mountain.

- Come on. - That's as far as I'm going.

Andr�, you're really doing better. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Woo hoo!

What the hell was that?

Woo hoo!

Oh!

Susan. Susan.

- I have to talk to you. - Come on in and let's talk.

I almost got killed on the slope after you left.

Oh Andr�, with the way you ski, it's no wonder.

Now, listen to me!

Somebody tried to run a pole through my body.

What?

Somebody tried to kill me with a ski pole.

I want to know what you know about it.

I don't know why anyone should try to kill you on a ski slope.

You can do that all by yourself.

There's only one person I can think of.

I've got to get the answers right now.

Hey. Thought we were going to have dinner tonight.

Why don't you listen to me? I didn't do it.

Do I have to die to convince you?

All right, okay. I'm sorry.

So I didn't call you all the time.

I'm telling you I was busy. I was busy.

Yes, you were very busy for ten months,

with brunettes, blondes and redheads.

That is a lie. I swear it.

Two days after I got married,

you started having an affair with that new girl in office.

- What's her name? - Anne Marie?

- Hmm. - Who told you that?

- She told me herself. - She...

Bitch! I should have fired her.

Hermann called me tonight. He knows you're here.

This is the last time we'll be seeing each other, Andr�.

I forgot to tell you.

If you want the money, why don't you ask him yourself?

It's his money.

Don't underestimate me, Susan.

When I'm really squeezed, I'll do something. I have to.

Now, why don't you write a letter to say

that you ordered me to sell those stocks?

- What's your lucky number? - Seventeen.

Seventeen.

Or you can lend me two and a half million dollars.

It's only for six months.

I promise you, I'll give them back to you.

Susan,

that's over 10,000 dollars.

Hey. Whew. Hey, Susan.

Hey Susan.

Can I just...

Can I ask you a question?

- If it isn't personal. - Okay, okay, okay. Not personal.

In the beginning of November, do you remember where you were?

Like, were you in Paris?

Vienna?

Zurich?

Look, I know. Maybe you were in Basel.

Yes?

In November, Hermann was at the castle and I was in the Mediterranean.

Good night, Andr�.

Don't follow me to the hotel, I don't want to be seen with you.

Hey. Why not? Listen, I mean...

If Hermann finds out, he'll give you a divorce.

That's what we wanted, isn't it?

No, Andr�.

I found out what Hermann...

does to his wives after the divorce settlement.

What's that?

He has them killed.

Good night.

Hey, tell me something.

A kid like you, shouldn't you be in bed at this hour?

With a very tough lady.

It was you playing the pet dolphin

at the local swimming pool this afternoon, wasn't it?

Are you trying to pick a fight?

No. Come on, let me buy you a drink. Come on.

Don't worry. I've never had a fight in my life.

- What would you like to drink? - Oh, a large glass of milk.

Large glass of milk?

What's wrong with a glass of milk?

I don't know. Nothing.

It's just... It confuses me. It's confusing.

Bartender, a double scotch and a large glass of milk.

What's so confusing?

You know what?

I would have bet that she was sleeping with you.

Who's sleeping with me?

Nobody's sleeping with me.

That's right. That's right.

If Susan was sleeping with you, you'd be worrying about

why she isn't sleeping with you right now.

And you'd be getting drunk as I am, right?

Right.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I'll tell you what I'm talking about.

You want to go to bed with Susan, right?

Right?

You're doing it all wrong.

If you want to go to bed with Susan, you've got to start at breakfast.

You've got to wake up early in the morning.

Because if you don't, you know,

she'll be gone.

Gone for good.

You'll never see her again. Never. Do you hear me?

You'll never forgive yourself for having missed your big chance.

Do you understand?

So now I'll tell you how to stop her. Right?

Right.

I missed you last night.

I stopped by your hotel but they said you weren't there.

Mm hmm.

Hmm.

Silly.

Jesus, that was close.

What's the matter?

How many little minkies do you think they killed to make that jacket?

Please don't ask.

Ninety three.

Hey, if you could be an animal,

what kind of animal would you like to be?

A bird.

Some kind of bird.

Well, which kind of bird?

A white bird, with a big feathered headdress.

Wow. Why?

I don't know, it's pretty.

It flies. It's free.

Okay.

That's your first choice.

Now, if you can't be a bird, what's your second choice?

A black panther.

- Wow. - What?

Your bird, beautiful and free.

But you see, your second choice, is what you really are.

A panther.

Hey, you weren't kidding.

Looks a little bit like Frankenstein's place to me.

Doesn't it?

My God, it does.

This place looks like it's haunted.

Oh, it is. At midnight you can hear the footfalls of the headless knight.

Do you think we'll see him?

Hey! Are we gonna see him?

Yes, from the neck down.

They say that those who see him, die.

No, I don't care. I've gotta see him.

- Where is he? - Larry,

what if what they say is true?

What can happen to me?

I'm an American citizen.

- Unreal! - Do you like it?

It's sensational.

- You really live here? - Uh, no.

So where does this ghost hang out?

In the tower. He has his own room up there.

The tower, yeah. The tower.

Oh, that's unreal.

- Hey can I go up to the tower? - Sure.

But bring a penny to pay the toll.

You know, we had a guy in class who used to go out with a married lady.

But she only took him to a motel.

That's it, isn't it?

Aren't you hungry?

How'd you get here?

I just came to make sure you didn't get lost.

It's up there.

Man, really spooky.

I'll fix your room.

Ah, so there you are.

Sorry pal, I haven't got any pennies.

I hope you don't mind.

I guess not.

Hey, you know you've got a really incredible place here.

This is really nice.

Hey listen,

I would give anything, really anything, to see you in person.

What do you say?

Okay.

I'll be back at midnight, maybe we'll hit it off then.

Hey, why don't you give me some sign, so I'll know you're really here?

Can I have a room, please?

We will prepare a Sulphur bath for you, sir.

That will warm you up.

Silvia.

Silvia!

Your luggage will be in your room.

Sulphur bath for Mr. Ferren.

Come this way, please.

Excuse me.

You can get ready now.

Would you like a massage, sir?

Yes! Yes.

Yes.

Very well, sir.

# She'll be coming Round the mountain #

# She'll be coming Round the mountain #

# She'll be coming round The mountain when she comes #

# She'll be wearing silk Pajamas when she comes #

# She'll be wearing Silk pajamas when she... #

Come in.

Opla!

Yeah?

Are you afraid of me, Larry?

Me?

Afraid of you?

Hmm.

Hell, no.

When we we're with other people, like at the swimming pool, you seem okay.

Then...

when we're alone...

you seem kind of shy.

You think so?

I'm not shy.

Why do you sit so far away from me?

Why don't you come closer?

Closer? You want me to come closer?

Mm.

Tell me what you did,

with that woman who used to take you to the motel.

Oh.

Oh, no. No. That wasn't me.

No, it wasn't. Really.

It wasn't?

No. No.

What makes you think it was me?

Then I guess you have no idea what married women do to young men like you.

Do you?

Oh, sure I do.

What do they do?

We're gonna have to do something about that.

Oh, we don't have to do-

Oh, yes.

Let's...

do something about that.

Larry, what's wrong?

I just saw the ghost.

I just saw him, the ghost.

He was just in here. There!

You saw the what?

Oh, Christ.

Larry,

you didn't see a ghost.

First of all, it isn't midnight.

Second of all, it's only a legend.

I knew you were afraid of me.

No. No, I know I saw him.

I swear it.

Don't you remember I told you

that if you saw the ghost you'd be dead?

And there you are. Now, get down.

Man, this is even weirder than that guy said it would be.

Than what guy said it was going to be?

That guy who screamed at you at the swimming pool, remember?

He was telling me how to make it with you.

- He was what? - He was trying to help me out.

Give me some good advice.

He was just trying to help you out.

Now, listen to this, I agree that you may have cause to resent me.

Oh?

This is much too dangerous, Susan.

It's not even funny anymore.

Susan?

Look, Mr. Rolf is a personal friend of mine.

I mean, I handled all of his accounts.

Millions of dollars all over the world.

I'm practically one of his best friends.

This could make him very upset.

Vous parlez Fran�ais?

Huh?

Sprichst du Deutsch?

Parla italiano lei?

You?

Look what you're doing.

Did you lose your mind? Let me out of here.

No, I'm not gonna be the one to spoil the game.

Would you want me to do that anyway, would you?

Am I right?

Well, Susan would kill me.

This thing, just put it down over there, okay?

Then run along, and tell Susan...

Hey, I know.

I know exactly what you mean.

Susan explained everything to me.

Just stay where you are.

Hey. Everything is gonna work out fine.

Thirty, thirty-six...

Forty, forty-five...

- Larry. - Fifty!

Can you do me a favor?

Fifty-six! Fifty-seven! Fifty-eight! Fifty-nine!

Sixty!

Sixty! Did you ever hit 60?

Larry?

Will you come here, please?

Sure thing.

I tell you,

you guys sure have a strange relationship.

How long do you usually keep men there, anyway?

It varies.

Didn't seem to me like he enjoyed it too much, this time.

That's part of it.

You said he was pleading for me, didn't you?

Yeah.

I don't think I could have done it

if you didn't tell me that's what he really likes.

Larry,

I want you go to Basel, in Switzerland

and deliver this letter I've addressed to a bank there.

Switzerland?

How am I gonna get to Switzerland?

Take my car.

- The Maserati? - Hmm.

You like it, don't you?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Well, I thought we wanted to let him out

and do all those other things you wanted to do.

Larry, just do this one thing for me.

It's really important.

Get it to Mr. Barnard. He'll be waiting for it.

The Maserati, huh?

Wahoo!

Don't miss, Henkel.

Far out.

All right, Susan,

I demand to know the meaning of all of this.

I mean, you may be Mrs. Rolf to the whole world,

but to me you're plain old Susan.

Susie. Sue.

We're partners, remember?

Larry, this has gone too far.

I mean, you really have flipped out, haven't you?

You've gone bananas.

Now, cut it out, Larry.

Look, you put that ridiculous thing away and come and have a drink with me.

Larry. Larry. Look.

Come and have some wine, 1885, you've never had anything so good before

and you never will.

Who are you?

What do you want?

Susan!

Susan! Help! For God's sake, help!

Go away! Go!

Move it!

Ach!

You dumbass.

How many times have I told you not to mingle in my affairs?

Stop the car.

I said stop the car and pull over!

They mustn't see me in the village.

Now, go up there.

Take care of him.

You know what to do.

I thought we understood each other, Hermann.

I thought we understood each other so well,

we didn't have to talk about it.

But I was wrong,

wasn't I, dear?

People always wondered why we got married.

They'd guess at what dirty games we played,

what I'd take, how much it would cost you.

But we knew it was none of that,

didn't we, Hermann?

We were married.

Not our bodies, but our minds.

You have a brilliant mind, Hermann.

There aren't many like you around.

You always knew why I wanted to marry you

and so you gave me more than I could ask for.

Power. Freedom.

And I did...

become fond of you.

But now I see...

it wasn't because of your generosity,

or because you loved me.

You were peeking in on me.

Did you have fun?

Hermann?

Did you have a good time?

I only wish I'd known that's how I was paying for all this.

Then you would have had a much better time, Hermann.

You deprived yourself.

Hmm.

Really, you did deprive yourself.

And why try to kill Andr�? Was it the money?

I don't think it's because he stole the money, Hermann.

- I'm getting out of here. - You stay where you are.

Because, tonight the only place you're safe, Andr�, is close to me.

I wrote a letter to Basel tonight, Hermann.

You saw me send it.

Maybe you'd like to know what was in it. I'll tell you.

In the letter I said that Andr� sold the stocks

with the consent of Mrs. Hermann Rolf and not for his own benefit.

So, you see, he doesn't need me anymore.

I freed Andr� because I realized he wasn't worth

giving up everything I had with you.

I got spoiled, Hermann.

You spoiled me.

I was willing to exchange the only man I've ever loved

for what I thought you were.

Come here, darling.

Take off your clothes.

I said take off your clothes.

This is really gonna be the one worth seeing, Hermann.

But this one's just for me.

Andr�?

Andr�, if you leave, they'll kill you, and you'll be dead.

Andr�, you mustn't leave me alone here.

Andr�, where do you think you're going, back to the office?

I'm getting out of here, that's where I'm going.

They'll be waiting for you there.

They'll be waiting for you everywhere!

Andr�! You mustn't leave me here alone.

Where do you think you're going?

Back to the office?

So what are you going to do now?

I'll figure something out.

They'll get you wherever you, Andr�, you're dead.

- You keep saying that... - You're finished.

There's no way out.

Still turns you on, doesn't it?

- No... - Doesn't it?

Yes!

Hermann is waiting for you at the bottom of the hill.

I promise you, sitting in his car.

- All right. Give me the key. - What key?

What do you mean, "what key"? The door's locked.

- I don't have the key. - So, who has the key?

The door is never locked.

But it's locked now.

Well, Hermann has the only key.

- I'll find a way out of here. - Hermann.

He must be inside the castle.

He's in there waiting for us.

I think we've had it, Andr�.

They're gonna find our bodies in the spring.

Covered with blood, Andr�.

The worms will eat us.

No, I mustn't. Stop this. Stop.

Ants will eat our bodies up, Andr�.

You only have one choice,

and that's to break your back,

or clean shot.

Andr�, Andr�. Look over here.

Henkel.

Yes, because I thought you abandoned me.

- I never abandoned you. - You did.

Just like all the others.

And you also believed that I took that two and a half million.

Yes. I felt terribly betrayed.

But I decided I wasn't going to let you get away with it.

I was sure it was you who sold the stocks.

You almost got me killed.

Well, it got you excited, didn't it?

Do you know I never realized it was Hermann.

Never.

Don't be so sure of it.

Sometimes I really wanted to kill you, Andr�.

You did?

But then why did you shoot the knight?

I was practically dead.

Oh. I missed.

You missed?

Susan, you know what you are?

A killer.

No,

I'm not a killer.

Maybe I'm an iron maiden.

How would you like that?

But now it doesn't matter anymore, darling.

Hermann is going to kill us both.

Susan, I think I'm falling in love with you.

And you're going to die for it.
