Okay, I'm going. And you two secret agents can settle down and be secret agents.

André Devereaux

I wish you wouldn't use such words, my love.

Why? Who do you think you are fooling, my master spy? Everybody in Washington knows that you are not a Commercial Attaché. Everybody in Washington knows that the Chief of Russian Intelligence is the chauffeur who drives a car for...

André Devereaux

Everybody in Washington does not know these things. And I would thank you not to repeat them. Go to bed.

Michael Nordstrom

Nicole, where did you hear that about the Chief of Russian Intelligence?

André Devereaux

She is in the Cuban underground. She sometimes works for me.

Ah. What else does she do for you?

André Devereaux

But I do know, that's the trouble. I wish I didn't. I know that you go to Cuba four or five times a year. And that - she is beautiful.

André, I don't want you to go. I am afraid for you, for your career, for your life!

André Devereaux

I've got to. I promised. I started all this and I am going to finish it.

Let the Americans do their own dirty work.
