00:00Hey, you. Come along in here, hmm?
00:04I'm talking to you two.
00:07Us?
00:08I got an after-hour run to be done for a couple of days.
00:10Maybe you didn't understand our position. We didn't come here to find work.
00:13Uh-uh.
00:14No, we just came here by chance, see? Working makes us real sick.
00:18Yeah, work rains his stomach. After his last job, he had to go in for an operation.
00:23Oh, well.
00:25Didn't hear a word.
00:26Here.
00:28Hmm.
00:29Geez, my stomach hurts.
00:32You'll get another two hundred when the job's done, okay?
00:35Yes, sir.
00:36Your documents.
00:38Stay here, you dummy. He ain't the police. He's a bit backward, you see.
00:41He's, uh, not too quick.
00:44Here.
00:45Almost new. No violations.
00:50The truck's already loaded. You'll find it at 38 Via Basqueto.
00:54All right?
00:55All right!
00:56Would you guys like to know the place you're going?
00:58Sure.
00:59You have to drive directly to Marseille.
01:01Marseille? Wow, what a coincidence. I was born in Marseille.
01:04I know it like the back of my hand. It's my old happy hunting ground.
01:07Good. Makes it easier, then.
01:08Now, what you do is this.
01:10Deliver the goods to 29 Rue Bazarin, Marseille.
01:12You unload the crates, collect the rest of your money from the gentleman up there,
01:15and take the first train home. Is that clear?
01:18That's clear.
01:19Good. Now repeat it.
01:20That's clear.
01:21No, no. The instructions.
01:23Deliver the goods to 29 Rue Bazarin, Marseille.
01:27Good. Off you go, then.
01:28Oh, just one thing.
01:30Go easy, huh?
01:31You're carrying spray cans full of insecticide, and that's based on benzoic acid.
01:35Understood?
01:36Understood.
01:40Hmm.
01:42You sure you know how to drive this?
01:46This truck is a Fiat 691.
01:49Two hundred and thirty-three and a half horsepower.
01:52Eight gears, four high and four low.
01:55Three hundred and fifty kilometers, and a tank of gas, and a quart of oil.
01:59Hmm.
02:00You mean you know this truck?
02:02No.
02:03Now, here. Here's what you think I'm telling you. Come on, let's go.
