Clouseau Questions Bizu About Yves Gluant
Clouseau
You are the soccer player known as Bizu?!
Bizu
Yes.
Clouseau
You are acquainted with Yves Gluant?!
Bizu
I'm glad he's pushing up daisies.
Clouseau
e is not pushing up daisies. e is dead!
Bizu
It's an idiom!
Clouseau
You, sir, are the idiom. Now, unless you want to spend ze rest of your life in prison, you will answer ze next question: did you kill him?!
Bizu
I would have loved to have killed him.
Clouseau
Duh!
Bizu
But, some lucky bastard beat me to it.
Clouseau
You disgust me! I'll be right back. Cigarette?
[Clouseau leaves, closing the door behind him, but immediately opens it again.]
Bizu
No. Thanks.
Clouseau
Good for you. Bizu, I know you didn't do it. Someone else did, and they are trying to set you up.
Bizu
You'll help me?
Clouseau
Of course I'll help you. Now, do you have any idea who could have done this terrible thing?
Bizu
His partner in those stupid restaurants, Larocque.
Clouseau
Raymond Larocque, the casino owner!
Bizu
Gluant would steal money from the restaurants and use it to gamble. My guess is Larocque got fed up and had him killed.
Clouseau
Bizu, I like you. I am going to help you. You and I are going to make a great team.
Inspector Clouseau
Ze good-cop, bad-cop routine is working perfectly!
Ponton
You know, usually, two different cops do that.
