The Thomas Crown Affair

Wordskill

l want you to talk about women.

Mr. Crown?

l'm sorry. Women.

You've yet to talk about women.

l enjoy women.

Enjoyment isn't intimacy.

And intimacy isn't necessarily enjoyment.

How would you know?

Has it occurred to you that you have a problem with trust?

l trust myself implicitly.

Yes, but can other people trust you?

You mean society at large?

l mean women, Mr. Crown.

Yes, a woman could trust me.

Good.

Under what extraordinary circumstances

would you allow that to happen?

Awoman could trust me

as long as her interests didn't run too contrary to my own.

And society at large,

if its interests were to run counter to your own?

Jimmy, l think l'll walk for a while. l'll meet you at the office.

You want me to take your briefcase?

No, l'll carry it.

Whoa! Jesus Christ!

Look at this jerk.

Morning, Mr. Crown.

Bobby.

Back for your haystacks, huh?

Don't ever let it go on tour.

Oh, l'll lay down the law.

You're an odd duck.

Everybody else goes right for the Monet.

lt's very nice.

Nice? Do you know what it's worth?

l just like my haystacks.

Yo, you gonna move it?

Come on, buddy. Let's go. Move it.

Jesus Christ.

Bring it on.

Something's screwed up.

My list says some kind of sarcophagus.

What do you want me to do? lt's a horse.

You want l should take it back and dump it?

Just unload the damn thing.

Boy, it's gonna be hot today.

Good morning, Mr. Crown. Good morning, Sam.

You can't let 'em know what's going on. Know what l mean?

What, do you own the building?

Excuse us, sir.

OFFlCER: What the hell? What's going on?

He does own the building.

Good morning, Mr. Crown.

Good morning, one and all.

Good morning, Mr. Crown. John, welcome back.

Good morning, Mr. Crown. Good morning.

Give me good numbers, Jimmy. Good morning, Daria.

Good morning, Mr. Crown.

You forgot your briefcase, right?

l must've left it here last night.

We have a disparity here.

l saw that.

Well, we can't leave it here.

Let's find out what the problem is.

That is not a sarcophagus.

lt's Friday.

What did he mean by that?

l'd say, come Monday, there's gonna be hell to pay.

Deuce!

Times in this thing l never thought l'd see that.

Thomas Crown forced to sell something.

So what do you think?

You don't have any regrets about the way you played this?

Regret is usually a waste of time.

As is gloating. Have you figured out

what you're gonna say to your board

when they learn that you paid me 30 million more

than others were offering?

Good morning, gentlemen.

All right, English only from now on.

Gentlemen, upon closer inspection,

your proposal is not as generous as you led us to believe.

There is no mention of executive compensation.

Look, gentlemen, we understand your objection to the merger.

lt's not a merger!

Your stockholders have spoken.

The stock price was manipulated.

We've anticipated your reluctance.

We won't be a Crown subsidiary.

Our attorneys are prepared to go head-to-head with you at the SEC.

l thought that kid would bust a gut

when you went into that thing about SEC.

That was brilliant! How's it go?

"lt's sad to see another tired man. . ."

"Lay down his hand and quit the holy game of poker."

That's the line, Danny.

He's right, you know.

Third-generation company, you think they would have shown more grit.

DARlA: Don't forget about the Douglaston conference call in 1 0 minutes.

Speak to Scully. Miso soup, Daria.

DARlA: On its way.

Go, go, go!

This painting is considered to be the first lmpressionist work in history.

lt started the lmpressionist movement.

lt influenced dozens of major artists

who went on to found the first major school

or style of the 20th century.

Okay. Try this.

lt's worth 1 00 million bucks.

And the government guy we paid off to make the state deal is back.

No, this is the second time they lied. Screw 'em.

Daniel, you had turkey. Mr. Schmidt called from UBS.

There's an opening for the board.

DARlA: Conference call in 1 0 minutes.

Young lady,

do not touch.

l'll let you go this time. On your way.

Jimmy, would you take a look in the compressor room?

There's something wonky with the A.C.

Can't we pass it on to Engineering?

The book says we check it first.

All right.

lt would be one of the hottest days of the year.

Can you believe it's nearly October?

Why don't you bring the kids?

Are you kidding?

You know how she is.

She'd probably run to court saying l was endangering them.

You're not kiddin'?

You wouldn't believe the shit the woman deals out.

The whole air-conditioning plant's crapped out.

Why didn't they call Maintenance?

See you in the morning.

Found your briefcase, l see.

Evidently.

Good night, sir.

That's good. Here you go. Okay.

Thanks.

They want to talk to you upstairs.

Me, or the regular proctor?

Because McKinley'll be back in a couple seconds.

l think you should talk to them.

Call them if you like.

Administration. Hello?

This is Jeff in wing eight.

l was just told you wanted to speak to me.

l'll be right up.

l'll just go up.

Sorry. This exhibit is closing.

l'll have to ask you to leave.

This exhibit is now closed.

Please use the nearest exit.

This exhibit is now closed.

We are closed for the evening.

We're closing. Thank you.

Please exit through the rear.

Thank you. Right this way.

Good night.

Thank you very much.

l'm sorry, sir. This exhibit is closed.

What have we got here?

lt's only a quarter to 5:00.

We are closed. For cleaning.

Hey, Bobby, l've been evicted. What do you mean?

The lmpressionist Gallery, closed for cleaning.

Cleaning?

Doing it right now.

Ed, want to lend me a hand here for a minute?

Certainly.

Excuse me.

What do you think you're doing?

Yes.

What?

Upstairs sent us down to clean this exhibit.

They've got some VlPs coming through.

l didn't hear about it. l oversee this section.

Call upstairs if you like.

No, you're right.

They've been having people down here all week.

Stop him ! Watch it now!
