00:00Markov, find out if those two agents have arrived yet.

00:03But here are Singer.

00:05If they do not come here to collect the record, how will they receive it?

00:09At the end of La Palermo's act, it is usual for a little Turkish girl to move among the guests selling records of her song.

00:16She will give the record to the agents?

00:18Yeah. They will leave Baghdad at once, and the record will be in the hands of K7 very soon.

00:23How will she know they are the right men? How will you know?

00:26A very simple and effective signal, Ali.

00:28They will order certain dishes from the menu.

00:31With certain wines.

00:34Have you forgotten I'm traveling tonight?

00:36Ah, La Palermo.

00:38You need money, huh?

00:39I always need money. I have a hotel with windows, dress bills.

00:43How do you think I'll pay them?

00:44Yeah. I think this will cover it.

00:46This is Ali. You know I told you of him.

00:49No sign of the agents yet, Herr Rosenkrantz?

00:51No. They are late. They must have been delayed.

00:54I will tell Rakoff to put La Palermo over to the second half.

00:57And why must I play in the second half?

00:59You are passing over information to German agents during your act.

01:02Always business is interfering with my act. It is impossible, I tell you.

01:05How can I think of my unveiling and serve the Fuhrer at the same time?

01:08The graphics, isn't it?

01:10Oriental architecture, you know?

01:12Good evening, gentlemen.

01:13Good evening.

01:14Good evening.

01:15You are clear to leave your hats.

01:17Straight down the stage, gentlemen.

01:21I suppose we shall see those hats again.

01:23You are developing a very suspicious mind.

01:27Sir, do you think it's all right?

01:29Looks pretty good to me.

01:36Good evening, gentlemen.

01:37Good evening.

01:38Do you desire a table?

01:39Yes, two, please.

01:40Certainly, sir. This way, please.

01:54I'm sure you wouldn't like Venera.

01:56Positive.

01:57I don't wish to appear Victorian,

01:59but is that the sort of display you'd like to bring Edith to?

02:02But we haven't brought Edith.

02:04True, Carlico, but after all, you're engaged to her.

02:06And what is more, Charters,

02:07it never occurred to me to bring Edith to a show like this.

02:10I don't understand.

02:11I was only pointing out that...

02:12Here you are, gentlemen.

02:13The menu.

02:14Oh, thank you.

02:24Herr Rothinger.

02:25Well, what is it?

02:26They are here, the two agents.

02:27You hear that, Ali? You are certain?

02:29I have just taken their order.

02:30First, Potter's Celery.

02:32Second, Poulet Maryland.

02:34Third, La Pete Rothschild, 1929.

02:37That is the correct signal?

02:38Absolutely.

02:39Now serve them like any ordinary guests.

02:41What is their table number?

02:42Eight.

02:43Good. Let me see that.
