YOU MAY WONDER WHAT I AM DOING

IN AN UNDERGROUND BUNKER,

SITTING NEXT TO A DEAD ELK.

THERE IS OF COURSE A SIMPLE EXPLANATION FOR THIS.

I HAVE BEEN TAKEN PRISONER

BY LOUISE OF THE COMMUNIST RESISTANCE

WHO HAS ANNOUNCED THAT I AM TO BE HER LOVE SLAVE.

NATURALLY MY QUICK THINKING HAS SAVED THE DAY.

FOR THE PAST 24 HOURS

I HAVE BEEN EXCUSING MYSELF WITH A HEADACHE.

I HAD CONTEMPLATED TAKING HER SLEEPING PILLS

TO END IT ALL,

BUT WITH MY LUCK I WOULD PROBABLY

JUST END UP WITH A REAL HEADACHE.

HANG ON.

I CAN HEAR THE RATTLE OF HER GRENADES.

EXCUSE ME WHILE I HAVE A RELAPSE.

OH, RENE,

THERE IS BAD NEWS.

YOU HAVE FOUND SOME ASPIRINS?

NO. COME WITH ME.

THERE IS A PARTY MEETING.

IS IT IMPORTANT?

THEY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO KEEP YOU

AS MY LOVE SLAVE.

AAAW,

AND JUST WHEN MY HEADACHE HAD GONE.

FOLLOW ME.

...AND SO I SAY TO YOU, COMRADES,

THERE WILL BE NO PRIVILEGED PARTY MEMBERS.

WE ARE ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL.

I SECOND THAT.

WHY SHOULD LOUISE HAVE THIS MAN TO HERSELF?

HANDS UP, THOSE WHO AGREE.

HIS SERVICES SHOULD BE SHARED

- AMONGST ALL OF US. - WHAT?

I SUGGEST...

WE SHARE HIM MORNINGS, AFTERNOONS,

AND HAVE A LUCKY DIP TO SEE WHO GETS HIM AT NIGHT.

MAY I PUT A MOTION ON THE TABLE?

I HOPE THAT IS THE CORRECT EXPRESSION.

IT IS. CARRY ON.

I DO NOT WISH TO BE IMMODEST.

BUT AS A WELL KNOWN RESISTANCE HERO,

SHOULD I NOT BE OUT ALL DAY BLOWING THINGS UP,

AND RESTING PEACEFULLY AT NIGHT?

IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE A HERO

THAT YOU MUST STAY HERE.

WHEN THE WAR ENDS,

YOU WILL LEAD OUR PARTY TO VICTORY.

I GIVE YOU COMRADE ARTOIS,

AND POSSIBLY THE NEW LEADER

OF THE FRENCH COMMUNIST PARTY.

COMRADE ARTOIS.

COMRADE ARTOIS!

All: SPEECH! SPEECH!

THANK YOU, COMRADES.

MY FIRST TASK WILL BE

GETTING A SHORTER WORKING WEEK,

WHICH I THINK I SHOULD START NOW.

OVERRULED.

- WHAT? - RIGHT.

LET'S PUT ALL OUR NAMES INTO THE HAT

AND SEE WHO GETS HIS SERVICES FIRST.

PASS IT AROUND.

I HOPE YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING TOO MUCH.

AND DON'T FORGET THE LUCKY DIP.

KEEP CALM, YOU KEEN COMMIE.

NOW LET US SEE.

FOR THE REST OF THE MORNING,

- HE BELONGS TO NOLA. - GOOD.

HE CAN HELP WITH THE COOKING AND WASHING.

YOU WILL FIND ME WILLING.

THE AFTERNOON, HE BELONGS TO CLAUDETTE.

GOOD, HE CAN HELP

WITH THE MENDING AND IRONING.

YOU TOO WILL FIND ME WILLING.

AND NOW,

THE WINNER OF THE LUCKY DIP IS--

DESIREE.

AND WILL I FIND YOU WILLING?

YOU WILL FIND ME HIDING UNDER THE BED.

I THINK MY HEADACHE HAS COME BACK.

IT IS SO SAD, COLONEL.

POOR RENE SACRIFICED HIMSELF

TO SAVE US.

HE DIED A HERO'S DEATH.

DON'T BE SUCH A NINNY, GRUBER.

IT WASN'T OUR FAULT HE WAS BLOWN TO BITS.

IT WAS A GERMAN SHELL THAT HIT THE WINDMILL.

HE SHOULD HAVE RUN AWAY FASTER.

WHAT CONCERNS ME NOW IS GETTING BACK THE PAINTING

OF THE FALLEN MADONNA WITH THE MISSING BOOBY FROM MADAME EDITH.

WE MUST GO TO THE CAFE AT ONCE.

THAT IS VERY CALLOUS, COLONEL.

SHE'S ONLY BEEN A WIDOW SINCE YESTERDAY.

OH, ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL GO IN HALF AN HOUR.

NOW PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER,

AND GET HELGA IN HERE.

( blows nose )

COULD WE HAVE A WORD, PLEASE, HELGA? ( sobs )

WHAT DO YOU WANT, COLONEL?

WE LEFT THE PAINTING OF THE FALLEN MADONNA

AT CAFE RENE FOR SAFEKEEPING.

YOU MUST HELP US RECOVER THE MISSING BOOBY FROM HERR FLICK.

ONLY IF I GET A CUT OF THE PROCEEDS.

YOU'RE IN NO POSITION TO MAKE DEMANDS, HELGA.

THEN THE BOOBY WILL STAY MISSING.

AND I MAY EVEN EXPOSE THAT COCK-AND-BULL STORY

YOU TOLD THE GENERAL ABOUT BEING CAPTURED BY THE RESISTANCE.

IT WAS NOT A COCK-AND-BULL STORY.

NO, IT WAS ALMOST ENTIRELY BULL.

GRUBER!

SHE KNOWS WE WERE REALLY DESERTING, COLONEL.

WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CUT HER IN.

OH, VERY WELL.

BUT YOU ARE A DEVIOUS, UNDERHAND,

SCHEMING BLACKMAILER, HELGA.

YOU FORGET, COLONEL,

I AM A WOMAN.

GENERAL VON KLINKERHOFFEN!

HEIL HITLER.

HEIL HITLER.

AFTER YOUR INCARCERATION BY THOSE RESISTANCE PEOPLE,

WHAT WE ALL NEED IS A LITTLE RELAXATION AROUND HERE.

YOU ARE BOTH INVITED TO JOIN ME

FOR MY SHOOTING PARTY IN THE FOREST THIS AFTERNOON.

WE SHALL BE DELIGHTED.

THAT'LL BE AN HONOR, GENERAL.

WILL THERE BE ANY WILD BOAR?

APART FROM YOU, NO.

A FEW RABBITS,

PERHAPS A DEER, IF WE ARE LUCKY.

- REPORT TO THE CHATEAU AFTER LUNCH. - YES, GENERAL.

AND, UH--

ABOUT THE PEASANT WHO WAS BLOWN TO BITS

- AT THE WINDMILL DURING TARGET PRACTICE-- - ( sobs )

GO AND SEE THE WIDOW.

EXPRESS OUR REGRETS.

SHOULD WE NOT APOLOGIZE, GENERAL?

AFTER ALL, HE DID SAVE US.

NO NEED TO GO QUITE THAT FAR.

BUT PERHAPS A SMALL OFFER

OF COMPENSATION MIGHT NOT GO AMISS.

WE DON'T WANT TO ANSWER ANY AWKWARD QUESTIONS

WHEN WE LOSE THE WAR.

DO YOU NOT MEAN IF WE LOSE THE WAR?

NO. I AM RAPIDLY LOSING CONFIDENCE IN THE GERMAN ARMY.

BUT, GENERAL, YOU STILL HAVE MEN LIKE ME AND GRUBER BEHIND YOU.

THAT'S WHY I'M LOSING CONFIDENCE.

HEIL HITLER.

HAVE YOU DONE ALL YOUR CHORES YET, COMRADE?

WELL, THE SNAKE STEW IS COMING ALONG VERY NICELY,

AND I HAVE ALMOST FINISHED BOILING YOUR UNDERWEAR.

YOU HAVE DONE WELL.

I WILL REWARD YOU WHEN I WIN THE LUCKY DIP.

THE "WELL DONE" IS ENOUGH FOR ME,

IF IT IS ALL THE SAME TO YOU, COMRADE.

OH MY GOD.

WHAT IS IT, COMRADE?

I HAVE PUT YOUR KNICKERS IN THE STEW.

BUT YOU HAVE RUINED THEM.

I DO NOT SUPPOSE

THEY HAVE DONE MUCH FOR THE STEW EITHER.

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?

I AM NOT USED TO BEING UNDERGROUND

WITH A BUNCH OF DESPERATE WOMEN.

WE ARE NOT USED TO LIVING UNDERGROUND

WITH SUCH AN ATTRACTIVE MAN.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE LUCKY DIP, HOLD ME NOW.

NO NO, PLEASE. CONTROL YOURSELF, COMRADE.

CONTROL YOURSELF.

THINK OF LENIN.

WOMEN LOVED HIM AS WELL.

HE HAD CRUMPET ALL OVER THE KREMLIN.

PLEASE PLEASE, LOOK-- STOP STOP!

YOUR KNICKERS ARE BOILING OVER.

OH, YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.

I HAVE JUST BEEN SORTING THROUGH SOME

OF RENE'S BELONGINGS.

POOR RENE.

HOW I MISS HIM.

I MISS HIM ALSO.

OH, HE IS A GREAT LOSS TO US ALL.

TAKE SOMETHING OF HIS

FROM THIS BOX TO REMEMBER HIM BY.

HE WOULD HAVE WANTED IT.

I SHALL HAVE HIS MOUSTACHE STIFFENER.

IT WILL REMIND ME OF HIM.

AND I WILL HAVE THIS LUCKY RABBIT'S FOOT.

WHAT A PITY HE WAS NOT WEARING IT

WHEN HE WAS BLOWN UP.

MADAME EDITH,

I MUST SPEAK WITH YOU URGENTLY.

WHAT IS IT, MICHELLE?

LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY,

I SHALL SAY THIS ONLY ONCE.

I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE PARISH PRIEST,

AND HE HAS AGREED TO HOLD A SPECIAL MEMORIAL SERVICE

FOR RENE THIS EVENING.

OH, THANK YOU, MICHELLE.

EVERYONE IS BEING SO KIND.

WELL, RENE WAS A TRUE HERO OF FRANCE.

A PAIN IN THE BUM SOMETIMES,

BUT STILL A HERO.

GOOD MOANING.

GOOD MORNING, OFFICER CRABTREE,

MONSIEUR ALPHONSE.

I HAVE HERE SOME THINGS OF RENE'S.

PLEASE TAKE SOMETHING.

HOW VERY KIND.

I AM MOVED.

THINK YOU.

I WILL TAKE THESE BURCYCLE CLAPS.

THEY WILL STOP MY TROOSERS FLIPPING IN THE WOND.

AND I WILL HAVE THIS BOTTLE OF HAIR POMADE.

OH, THAT SMELL WE REMEMBER SO WELL.

NO, HE WAS MORE GARLICY THAN THAT.

ANYWAY, HE HAS NOT USED MUCH.

HE DID NOT HAVE MUCH HAIR TO USE IT ON.

MADAME EDITH,

I WILL NOT BEAT ABOUT THE BUSH.

I WANT TO PRESS MY SUIT.

I WILL PLUG IN THE IRON.

NO NO, I MEAN MY PROPOSAL OF MARRIAGE,

NOW THAT YOU ARE A WIDOW.

OH, MONSIEUR ALPHONSE,

IT IS TOO SOON.

ANOTHER DAY PERHAPS?

BUT NOW RENE IS STILL FRESH IN MY MEMORY.

HE IS FROSH IN ALL OUR MAMMARIES.

PERHAPS WE SHOULD PUT UP SOMETHING

THAT WILL REMIND US OF HIM.

BUT WHAT?

NOTHING SPRINGS TO MIND.

WHAT ABOUT A PLAQUE WITH A KNIFE AND FORK

MOUNTED ON A BREAD ROLL?

HE DESERVED MORE THAN THAT.

TWO BREAD ROLLS.

WHAT ABOUT A STITUE?

THAT IS A GOOD IDEA.

MONSIEUR ALPHONSE,

DO YOU THINK YOU COULD MAKE A STATUE OF RENE FOR THE SQUARE?

I WOULD NEED A PHOTOGRAPH OF HIM.

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ALREADY WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE?

MY SHORT TERM MEMORY IS NOT TOO GOOD.

WELL, HE WAS...

TALL.

YES, TALL.

THINNING ON TOP.

YES.

AND RATHER PLIMP WITH A BIG BIM.

YES YES, THAT WAS HIM.

TALL, BALDING AND FAT.

WHATEVER DID YOU SEE IN HIM?

I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER.

( tires squealing )

IT IS THE COLONEL AND LIEUTENANT GRUBER IN HIS LITTLE TANK.

THEY ARE GETTING OUT AND COMING THIS WAY.

I WILL DISAPPEAR UP YOUR BACK PASSAGE.

YVETTE--

GIRLS, GO UPSTAIRS AND GET ON WITH THE CLEANING.

I WILL HANDLE THIS.

AND I MUST BE ABOUT MY BOSSNESS.

GOOD MOANING, COLONEL VON STREAM,

LIEUTENANT GREEBER.

YOU LITTLE TONK IS BADLY POCKED.

DO NOT LEAVE IT TOO LUNG,

OR I SHALL PUT A TOCKET ON YOUR TIRRIT.

GOOD MORNING, COLONEL,

LIEUTENANT GRUBER.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

WE HAVE COME FOR THE PAINTING

OF THE FALLEN MADONNA WE LEFT WITH RENE.

I'M SORRY, COLONEL,

I DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT IS.

RENE HID IT SOMEWHERE

BEFORE HE DIED.

LOOK AROUND FOR IT.

WE MUST HAVE IT.

OF COURSE, COLONEL.

AND, MADAME EDITH,

WE DEEPLY REGRET WHAT HAPPENED TO RENE.

PERHAPS WE COULD OFFER YOU

SOME SMALL SUM BY WAY OF COMPENSATION?

OH, LIEUTENANT GRUBER,

NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD POSSIBLY

COMPENSATE ME FOR THE LOSS OF A MAN LIKE RENE.

HOW MUCH?

MONSIEUR ALPHONSE, PLEASE.

WE WISH TO HELP YOU, MADAME EDITH.

WELL, PERHAPS THERE IS SOMETHING YOU COULD DO.

WOULD YOU PAY FOR A STATUE OF RENE

TO BE ERECTED IN THE SQUARE?

WHAT A SPLENDID IDEA.

DEPENDS HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST.

HERE IS A LIST OF MY CHARGES.

THAT ONE IS FOR A LIFE-SIZED STATUE IN MARBLE,

THAT ONE IS FOR SANDSTONE,

AND THAT ONE IS FOR CONCRETE.

AND THAT ONE IS FOR A WATERPROOF CARDBOARD CUTOUT.

WE'LL PAY FOR THE CONCRETE ONE.

COME ON, GRUBER.

CHEAPSKATES.

I AM SO VERY SORRY ABOUT OUR LOSS.

THANK YOU.

OH, MADAME EDITH,

YOU HAVE ME NOW.

AND SOON YOU WILL HAVE HIM,

IN TWO OF SAND AND ONE OF CEMENT.

YOU WILL HAVE TO PEDAL FASTER THAN THAT, COMRADE,

OR OUR KNICKERS WILL NEVER DRY.

I AM DOING MY BEST, CLAUDETTE.

YOU MAY STOP... FOR A MOMENT.

AH!

WHAT IS THE MATTER?

I AM SADDLE SORE.

WE ARE GOING OUT NOW ON PATROL.

OH.

BUT I WILL BE BACK, IN A SHORT WHILE.

TAKE YOUR TIME.

DO NOT GET IDEAS ABOUT ESCAPING--

AS IF I WOULD.

--BECAUSE I AM LEAVING ONE OF MY COMRADES BEHIND,

TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOU.

HOW THOUGHTFUL.

DESIREE?

UNTIL LATER, COMRADE.

NOW GET BACK TO YOUR PEDALING

OR OUR KNICKERS WILL GO MOLDY.

OW!

FASTER, PEASANT, FASTER.

MY KNICKERS ARE NEXT.

I AM NOT TRAINING FOR THE TOUR DE FRANCE, YOU KNOW.

BE VERY CAREFUL

HOW YOU TAKE OFF THE BANDAGES, VON SMALLHAUSEN.

MY NEW FEATURES MAY STILL BE

A LITTLE DELICATE.

YES, HERR FLICK.

GOOD MORNING, HERR FLICK.

AH, HELGA,

YOU ARE JUST IN TIME TO WITNESS

THE REMOVAL OF MY BANDAGES.

I CAN HARDLY WAIT.

VON SMALLHAUSEN,

- GET THE SCISSORS. - YES, HERR FLICK.

AS SOON AS THE ALLIES INVADE,

I WILL HEAD FOR ARGENTINA.

WILL YOU BE TAKING ME WITH YOU?

ONLY IF YOU HELP ME RECOVER

THE PAINTING OF THE FALLEN MADONNA

FROM THE COLONEL AND LIEUTENANT GRUBER.

- BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE IT. - WHAT?

THEY GAVE IT TO RENE ARTOIS,

THE CAFE OWNER WHO WAS BLOWN UP AT THE OLD WINDMILL.

THEN WE WILL GET IT FROM HIS WIDOW.

SURELY SHE WILL NEVER GIVE IT TO YOU?

MY BRILLIANT MIND IS EVEN NOW DEVISING

A CUNNING PLAN TO PERSUADE HER.

BUT FIRST,

VON SMALLHAUSEN,

CUT THE BANDAGES.

YES, HERR FLICK.

I'M AGOG WITH EXPECTATION.

HOLD THE MIRROR.

YES, HERR FLICK.

( ripping )

WHAT A SHOCK!

IS THIS REALLY YOU, HERR FLICK?

EVEN I AM UNSURE IF IT IS REALLY ME.

I SHALL CARRY OUT THE ULTIMATE TEST.

I WILL KISS YOU,

TO SEE IF I STILL SHUDDER WITH ECSTASY. #############

WELL?

I STILL SHUDDER,

BUT THE ECSTASY IS MISSING.

THEN I NEED A SECOND OPINION.

NOT FROM YOU.

IS THAT DANDELION TEA READY YET?

IT IS ALMOST COMING, COMRADE.

( jingling )

HA HA.

HERE IT IS.

DRINK IT ALL DOWN IN ONE GO,

IT WILL DO YOU GOOD.

AH, I NEEDED THAT.

YOU MAKE FINE DANDELION TEA.

IT IS A KNACK.

I HAVE WAITED A LONG TIME

FOR THIS MOMENT, RENE ARTOIS.

AT LAST I HAVE YOU ALONE.

NO, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, YOU DO NOT GET ME

UNTIL AFTER THE SUN GOES DOWN.

I DON'T CARE.

COMRADE, I LOVE YOU PASSIONATELY.

- AND I KNOW YOU FEEL THE SAME. - YOU DO?

I'VE SEEN THE WAY YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING AT ME--

THE HUNGER IN YOUR EYES.

I AM NOT SURPRISED,

I DID NOT FANCY THAT STEW.

PLEASE, NOW CONTROL YOURSELF.

DO NOT BLOT YOUR PARTY CARD.

OH, I FEEL FUNNY.

IT MUST BE THE AIR IN HERE.

COME BACK.

AH!

FANCY LURING ME INTO THE BEDROOM,

YOU NAUGHTY BOY.

I ASSURE YOU IT WAS--

IT WAS NOT INTENTIONAL.

AND WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST WE DO NOW?

HOW ABOUT A NAP?

LATER.

AND NOW MY HERO OF THE RESISTANCE,

HOLD ME, KISS ME,

MAKE ME FAINT WITH ECSTASY.

REMEMBER YOUR PART WELL,

VON SMALLHAUSEN.

SHE IS ONLY A SIMPLE PEASANT.

SHE WILL BE COMPLETELY FOOLED BY OUR STORIES.

BUT REMEMBER, SHE WILL NOT RECOGNIZE ME.

YES, HERR FLICK.

GOOD MORNING, HERR FLICK.

HERR VON SMALLHAUSEN.

DO YOU NOT NOTICE ANYTHING DIFFERENT ABOUT ME?

A NEW HAT?

PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A SURPRISE.

QUITE A BIG ONE.

I AM PREPARED, I HOPE.

I AM NOT REALLY OTTO FLICK OF THE GESTAPO.

I AM, IN FACT,

A MEMBER OF THE BRITISH INTELLIGENCE SERVICE.

MY REAL NAME IS BASIL DE VERE COURTNEY.

AND I AM GEORGE MARMADUKE ST. JOHN

FOTHERINGTON SMYTHE.

BUT YOU CAN CALL ME BUFFY.

BUT THE GERMAN ACCENTS?

BOTH BORN IN GERMANY,

BUT WE WERE TURNED AT CAMBRIDGE.

HE WAS TURNED A BIT MORE THAN ME.

WELL, THIS IS A SURPRISE.

I HAVE HERE SOME PHOTOGRAPHS,

TO PROVE TO YOU THAT WE ARE REALLY BRITISH.

THIS IS ME PLAYING POLO WITH KING GEORGE.

AND HERE I AM ON THE CENTER COURT

OF WIMBLEDON IN 1936.

BUT THIS IS THE LADIES' SINGLES.

EVEN THEN I WAS IN DISGUISE.

THIS IS THE 1937

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ROWING EIGHT.

WHEN YOU LOOK CLOSELY,

YOU MAY RECOGNIZE THEIR COX.

WILL I?

I WAS THE COX.

HE STEERS THE BOAT.

OH-- OH YES, OF COURSE.

HAVE WE CONVINCED YOU?

WITH SUCH OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE,

HOW COULD I DOUBT IT?

GOOD.

NOW I UNDERSTAND

YOU HAVE THE PAINTING OF THE FALLEN MADONNA.

I HAVE THE MISSING BOOBY.

YOU MUST GIVE ME THE PAINTING.

THEN WE WILL INSERT THE BOOBY

AND SEND THE WHOLE THING TO ENGLAND

SO THEY CAN SELL IT TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE WAR EFFORT.

THEY'RE JOLLY HARD UP.

BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHERE THE PAINTING IS, BASIL.

RENE HID IT SOMEWHERE.

SEARCH THE BUILDING FOR IT,

AND BRING IT TO ME AT MY HEADQUARTERS.

I WILL DO MY BEST.

YOUR LOYALTY TO THE CAUSE

WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.

AND WHEN THE WAR IS OVER,

PERHAPS WE CAN GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER.

I WOULD LIKE THAT.

I WILL TAKE YOU TO ENGLAND

AND SHOW YOU MY COUNTRY SEAT.

THAT SOUNDS INTERESTING.

OH, IT IS. I'VE SEEN IT.

COME, BUFFY,

WE MUST GET BACK FOR SOME TIFFIN,

AND A CUP OF CHA.

GOOD DAY, MADAME EDITH.

WHAT IS CHA, HERR FLICK?

IT IS ENGLISH FOR TEA.

HOW QUICKLY YOU FORGET, BUFFY.

OH, SORRY, BASIL.

WHAT A VON TWIT I AM.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A GOOD SPOT.

LAST ONE TO BAG A RABBIT

BUYS ALL THE DRINKS.

I AM SLIGHTLY WORRIED.

ISN'T THIS GENERAL VON BLINKHORN'S ESTATE?

HE IS RENOWNED FOR BEING RUTHLESS

WITH POACHERS.

TO HELL WITH VON BLINKHORN,

WE HUNT WHERE WE LIKE.

AN ELK!

IN THESE WOODS!

QUITE EXTRAORDINARY.

NOT A VERY BIG ONE.

MY SHOT, I THINK.

AAH! OOH!

I THINK YOU WINGED IT, GENERAL.

I AGREE. BUT THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN ONE

RUN OFF ON TWO LEGS.

Rene: AH, OOH!

DID YOU JUST HEAR A SHOT?

LOUISE, LOOK,

THERE ARE GERMANS OVER THERE.

THEY WILL NOT LEAVE THE WOOD ALIVE.

OPEN UP.

VON BLINKHORN'S GAMEKEEPERS ARE RATHER KEEN.

QUICK, BACK TO THE CAR.

( guns firing )

THERE.

OH, WHAT A WONDERFUL

TOUCHING SERVICE THAT WAS.

AND WHAT WONDERFUL THINGS THE PRIEST

SAID ABOUT RENE.

IT IS CUSTOMARY TO EXAGGERATE

ON THESE OCCASIONS.

DO NOT FEAR, MADAME EDITH.

RONNIE'S MAMMARY WILL LIVE ON,

EVEN THOUGH HE HAS PISSED AWAY.

( sobbing )

OH, DRY YOUR EYES, GIRLS.

IT IS OVER.

COME LET US GO INTO THE BACK ROOM.

I HAVE PREPARED SOME SANDWICHES FOR US.

SPLONDID.

I COULD DO WITH A NOBBLE.

HERE, HELP YOURSELVES.

FOR MY PART, I COULD NOT EAT A THING.

I AM TOO UPSET.

NOR ME.

MY APPETITE HAS VANISHED ALSO.

OH WELL, ALL THE MORE FOR MOO.

DO NOT WORRY, MADAME EDITH,

I WILL LOOK AFTER YOU.

NO ONE WILL EVER FORGET

A MAN SUCH AS RENE ARTOIS

IN A HURRY.

DO YOU THINK HE IS UP THERE, MONSIEUR ALPHONSE,

WATCHING OVER US?

WHO?

RENE OF COURSE.

SHOULD WE TRY AND GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM?

IT IS A BIT LATE FOR THAT, IS IT NOT?

WELL, MAMMA USED TO DO IT.

PERHAPS SHE HAS PASSED THE GIFT ON TO ME.

LET US ALL SIT ROUND THE TABLE AND HOLD HANDS.

MIMI, LIGHT THE CANDLES,

YVETTE, PUT OUT THE LIGHT.

ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING?

DO NOT WORRY.

I WILL BE IN CONTROL.

I HOPE SO.

IT IS DANGEROUS TO ENTER THE SPIRIT WORLD.

OH, I MUST TRY AND GET IN TOUCH WITH RENE ONE MORE TIME.

PERHAPS HE COULD TELL US WHERE HE HAS HIDDEN

THE FALLEN MADONNA PAINTING.

AND I WOULD NOT MIND

A WORD WITH ONE OR TWO CLIENTS OF MINE

WHO DID NOT LEAVE ENOUGH MONEY

TO PAY THEIR BILLS.

HERE, LET US ALL HOLD HANDS.

OH, IT HAS SUDDENLY GONE VERY COLD IN HERE.

I CAN FOOL ICY FONGERS DOWN THE BOCK OF MY NICK.

IT IS VERY CROOPY.

OH, I HOPE WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.

IS THERE ANYONE THERE

WHO WISHES TO SPEAK WITH ANYONE HERE?

TWO KNOCKS FOR YES,

ONE KNOCK FOR NO.

( rattling )

OH OH! I HEARD A RATTLE.

I THINK WE ARE GETTING THROUGH TO HIM.

- ( rattling ) - I FEEL HIS PRESENCE.

HE CANNOT BE FAR AWAY.

OOOH! BE CAREFUL, MADAME EDITH.

I HAD A FRIEND ONCE

WHO DREW A PENTACLE AND SUMMONED UP

THE DEVIL ACCIDENTALLY--

IN A DESERTED LAUNDRY.

THAT MUST HAVE PUT THE WOOLIES UP HIM.

RENE, IF YOU ARE HERE

MAKE YOUR PRESENCE KNOWN.

HE KNOCKED.

OH MY GID.

( knocks )

OH, THERE IS SOMETHING AT THE WINDOW.

CAN IT BE HIM?

BACK FROM THE GROOVE?

SUDDENLY MY TICKER IS VERY DICKY.

( knocks )

I AM NOT AFRAID,

FOR I AM PURE IN HEART

AND LOOKED AFTER BY THE ANGELS.

( screaming )

I THINK THE ANGELS ARE ON STRIKE.

Edith: OH MY GOD, IT IS THE DEVIL.

WE HAVE CONJURED UP THE DEVIL.

( screaming )

THE KNOB HAS COME OFF IN MY HAND.

HELP!

SHE IS FIGHTING WITH THE DEVIL.

WHAT DOES SHE SAY?

THE KNOB HAS COME OFF IN HER HAND.

HE WILL NOT LIKE THAT.

RENE!

All: RENE?

YOU STUPID WOMAN.

OF COURSE IT IS ME,

ALIVE AND WELL

AFTER A WEEK UNDER THE GROUND.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU SAY?

HOW DARE YOU COME BACK TO HAUNT ME?

NO NO, EDITH. I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT SOMETHING FOR ME.

LOOK, THERE.

BACK! YOU FIEND! BEGONE!

Yvette: OH, RENE! STOP IT!
