Colin Morris: [Ed is waiting outside the Tiffany store for Diana] You're very good. You're really very good. I'm amazed we've not met before.
Ed: I beg your pardon?
Colin Morris: I've been watching you ever since you left Caper's yacht. Very impressive.
Ed: Oh yeah?
Colin Morris: You can stop performing now, Ed. If that's your name.
Ed: Heh, I don't know, what are you talking about?
Colin Morris: OK. I represent Monsieur Melville, and I can assure you that he will be far more reasonable than the SAVAK.
Ed: The SAVAK?
Colin Morris: The Shah's secret police. Death squad. Iranian gestapo. *Shaheen's* boys.
Ed: ...Shaheen's boys...
Colin Morris: Heh, heh, I like you Ed. I do like you. You're very good.
[Draws pistol, puts it in Ed's mouth]
Colin Morris: The stones.
Ed: What?
Colin Morris: Where are the stones?
Ed: I can't help you.
Colin Morris: [Cocks pistol] We do understand each other, don't we?
Ed: Uh, I don't know.
Colin Morris: [Sees police car approaching, puts pistol away] Very good. Very impressive. I'm sure we'll chat again.
