Dialogue

Gaston Morrell: Put your shoulders! Can't you straighten up? Not so square.

Francine Lutien: Well, I've asked you to pose me. I'm quite helpless about such things.

Gaston Morrell: Surely it can't be so difficult for you to be yourself. What's the matter?

Francine Lutien: Lucille's puppeteer.

Gaston Morrell: Lucille?

Francine Lutien: So you're Bluebeard?

Gaston Morrell: Who said so?

Francine Lutien: [Gasping] Lamarte.

Gaston Morrell: Lamarte? And you believe what Lamarte told you?

Francine Lutien: No!

Gaston Morrell: Lamarte, how many others have you told that I painted the pictures you have sold to the Duke?

Jean Lamarte: No one. No one.

Gaston Morrell: You're not telling me the truth.

[Gaston has closed the door. And finds that Deschamp was lying on the floor]

Gaston Morrell: And you were trying to sneak out of here leaving the blame for this to me as well.

Jean Lamarte: No. No, I wasn't!

[Doorbell ringing]

Gaston Morrell: So, and you even had it timed, didn't you? You were going to be gone from here when they got in.

Inspector Renard: We're breaking in! Renard, go on down to the road and keep a sharp lookout! Break it down!

[Lamarte is dead on the scene]

Inspector Renard: He's finished.

[the police and Inspector Renard find out there's another is alive. Deschamps was lying unconscious]

Inspector Renard: Rouhan, quickly!

[They wake Deschamps. He sees the dead body of Lamarte]

Deschamps: Lamarte.

Inspector Renard: Yes, his death certainly isn't going to help us any. Where's Francine?

Deschamps: He took her up there.
