Quote context

[...]

- Well, that's fine. Now all I have to do is kill every mountain climber with a sore foot.

- Not quite. Our man will be involved in a climb in the Alps this summer.

- You're getting warm now. That narrows it down to three or four thousand men.

- Fewer than that.

- We know which mountain he will climb. The Eiger.

- North face, of course.

- That is correct.

- You are familiar with it?

- You know I am.

- I tried to climb it twice. It tried to kill me twice.

- Look, if the target's trying to climb the north face of the Eiger, chances are my work could be done for me.

- I cannot trust to chance, Dr. Hemlock.

- Now, the only climb planned for the Eiger is a goodwill climb with a team from Germany, Austria, France and the United States.

- Now, the target is one of the other climbers, the Frenchman, the German or the Austrian.
