Quote context

[...]

- Yes, I must admit the impostor... Very clever. Very clever, indeed.

- I'm surprised that half the police force of France hasn't descended on us by now.

- But of course they will.

- Without a doubt.

- But if you're innocent?

- Look, darling, I'm not only innocent, but I'm still smart enough that if I decided to get back in the business, I would not leave my calling card announcing the fact.

- No, but will the police think of that?

- No.

- But you can convince them.

- Not unless the real thief was caught.

- But then you're lost. If the police think that you're the real thief, then who will catch the impostor?

- Well, I can only think of one person really. Can't you?

- Charles.

- Since the alternative is prison, I don't have very much choice, do I?

- I'm frightened. This impostor's obviously very clever.

- It could be dangerous.
