Scenes with M/The Phantom

12 scenes
Karl Draper
(in German)

What do you want?

The Phantom

The world, Herr Draper. I want the world.

Karl Draper
[The Phantom is thrown a rocket launcher by one of his men]

Are you crazy? This place is full of hydrogen gas!

The Phantom

Really? That's so frightening. [Fires the rocket at a zeppelin]

Nigel
[After Allan reveals his identity to Reed]

Shall I toddle off, then, Allan?

Yes, of course, Nigel, toddle off.

Nigel

Toddling.

Where is your sense of patriotism?

[stands up with a drink]

God save the Queen.

Nigel
[the other patrons of the club mutter an apathetic return to the toast]

God save her.

[to Reed]

That's about as patriotic as it gets around here.

Well, we were the faster, but now we're the tortoise to his hare.

So, we're done?

No, we're alive. If M has any idea to the contrary, that gives us an edge.

The sea is vast, he could be anywhere.

Yeah, well, I'm an optimist, now maybe that's a crime to you twisted so-and-so's but it keeps me from going crazy.

Your optimism's out of place.

You're wrong! Because we'll get out, man... at least, *I* will. That other agent I told you about... was my childhood friend. We were agents together until the phantom shot him dead. Now you can be done, but I am not. I will avenge his death.

It's not about any one of us, Tom, it's bigger than that.

Yes, it is, Jekyll! The fate for the world is in our hands... the world! So M tricked you, he brought you all together and you walked straight into his trap. But the way that I see it, that's the part he did wrong... He brought you together.

He has a point.

And the boy becomes a man... perhaps a leader of men.

And Women.

[Seeing one of M's men who has taken a large amount of Hyde's formula]

What is that thing?

He's me on a bad day.
