00:09:49 Dr Malic? I'm the one who called.
00:14:11 - I'm bound to see him. - Not his face.
00:18:41 That's better. I'll be back in five minutes.
00:22:12 Nobody forced you to take the job.
00:28:00 Right... very well.
00:32:38 - Your name? - Sorry?
00:37:05 Relax...
00:41:38 Don't be afraid. What an idiot!
00:46:21 - Let me in. I'll wait for him with you. - I'm not expecting anybody.
00:51:44 - Did you spot him, yes or no? - Spot who?
00:57:52 None and all. They are agents.
01:02:56 Mr Valette, I'm not responsible for the noise outside.
01:07:07 - No, that's it. I'm giving up! - You can't.
01:11:54 But to meet a person like you, Doctor, certainly has an educative value.

01:45:42 We'll go together, all right?

01:57:25 - What did you do with it? - They threw it out.
