For George Manolescu, the day begins at 7 a.m. ...
"Don't switch on the light! ... Let the sun shine in ..."
"What's going on? - We will arrive too late at the club."
"Attention, Jack! Watch the second column."
"There is a villain aboard the train."
"I fled my husband ...
... I badly feared he would order someone to bring me back ..."
"I am very grateful to you, but ..."
"Dearest, I left my umbrella in the compartment."
"What room is the lady in?"
"Yes, Mister Marquis ..."
"As you wish, Mister Marquis ..."
"Will be done for you, Mister Marquis ..."
"Please notify room 217, Count Lahovary wishes to speak to the gracious Lady."
"Right away, Mister Count."
"... For three days, I've been searching for you, without success ..."
"I'm not mistaken ... we know each other very well ... from the train."
"Count Lahovary! The charm of a train- acquaintanceship is its brevity."
"Do you have a room available?"
"Do you wish a room at the southside, Mister Count?"
"I found your umbrella."
"What do you want from me?"
"Ask for the house detective."
"It's me, baby, your little Jack."
"One moment please ... I have to get dressed ..."
"Wait at the balcony ... I'll explain to you later."
"Please get dressed for dinner ..."
"Go! Please leave! I will explain you afterwards ..."
"I will leave shortly ... we must seperate now."
"I don't let you - we stay together."
"We stay together? ... Could you then, offer me the life I am used to live?"
"Come on, get packed."
That's how George Manolescu's life as a swindler began.
"Did you bring some samples?"
"We would like to try it out."
"Could you please exchange 20 fifty Mark notes for a thousand Mark bill?"
Telephone booth
"I am convinced ... Your 100,000 in exchange to 40,000 real ones. -
... But I only take over the 'goods' after we get on the train."
"You wanted these 100,000 Mark changed for fresh 50 Mark bills?"
"I left my briefcase in the train ..."
"... a briefcase wearing the initials V.T. ... containing 50 bills of 100,000 Mark"
"I will have it investigated immediately ..."
"A briefcase has been left behind in here."
"Thanks to you ... everything is in order."
"A very clever forgery, - the real pearl necklace must have been interchanged."

"I won't tolerate your behavior."
"We will drive back home in a minute ..."
"Why are you so upset? ... I only make friends in favor of our 'business' ..."
"Be cautious! We are being watched."
"Your Cleo is in Paris. I know where she lives."
"For once I need to speak to you ...
I have enough of your tempers and your jealousy! ..."
"Leave me alone ... I cannot, and won't continue life as we live it now ..."

"This is your creation ...!"
"I have to urge you to leave the ill alone."
"Aren't you a little bit too concerned about your patients?! .."
"I am only fullfilling my duty as a nurse."
"Doctor, I believe I will recover faster in reclusion than over here."
