Foreign Correspondent1940

John Jones:
What do we do now, call Scotland Yard?

Stephen Fisher:
I thought it best to send Monsieur Krug away.

John Jones:
You let him get away? Listen...

Stephan Fisher:
If what you say is true, then it's important not to rouse Krug's suspicions.

John Jones:
Van Meer will be killed. Dead or alive, it's a story.

Carol Fisher:
Johnny, father's right.

John Jones:
Okay. I'll cable them what I've got.

Stephan Jones:
I wouldn't, if I were you. Van Meer's life may depend on our keeping this quiet a few hours.

John Jones:
Keep it quiet? A famous diplomat's kidnapped right under my eyes and I muzzle myself? I'm sorry, but this is a story with facts in it. This is the kind of story I'm here to get, the kind America's waiting for.

Stephen Fisher:
It'll be a bigger story if you can wait a few hours until we find Van Meer and discover what's behind this curious business.

John Jones:
I know what's behind it.

Stephan Fisher:
I don't mean who is behind it. I mean the why of it.
