Florian de Groot, Susan "Susie" Glass and others in “I've Hundreds of Cousins”

[Eddie and Susie appear in front of him at an eating establishment table] Oh, Susie, Eddie. It’s so good to see you. [speaks French to server who leaves]

Not for us. Keeping a cold stomach.

Oh, there is always time for lunch. You are in Europe, my friends. And in Europe, we like to live a little. In England, you’re always so busy, huh? Tick-tock, tick-tock. Like the Big Ben. [chuckles]

[places down dish] Voilà, monsieur.

Ah... Tartare de cheval. This is hor–

Yeah, I know what it is.

I always found the horse more delicate than the bull or the cow. [eats a forkful] I assume your presence here signify a willingness to reopen negotiations?

In a manner of speaking.

So you agree to my terms?

Actually, we’re here to offer you something... far more valuable.

Oh, what is that?

The antidote.

An antidote for what?

For the poison that’s currently sitting in your system that should be about to work around... now.

That’s the thing about running an international crime syndicate. We can get to anyone. [scene of server administering a drop into Florian's dish]

Your heart is beginning to beat at three times its normal rate on account of trying to keep your blood pressure up. In about five minutes, your body will go into shock. You’ll lose control of your bodily functions, and you’ll suffer from a massive cardiac arrest on account of the trauma done to your internal organs. Then... Well, then you’ll suffocate. Lying on this restaurant floor, gasping for air like a dying fucking fish. Unless you take that antidote. [Florian attempts to grab antidote vial and Eddie snatches it away] We need a name.

[chokes] I don’t know what you mean.

The clock is ticking, de Groot. Tick-tock, tick-tock. Like Big Ben, eh?

You Europeans. So very slow. The name. [Florian writes out in notebook while heavily choking, hands it to Susie who shows it to Eddie] Disappointing.

Very.

Here. [hands over vial to Florian who drinks it] You should be fine within the hour.

Should you develop a sudden urge to inform said person of recent developments, remember how easy it was to get to you in the first place.

Have a good lunch, Mr. de Groot. [He and Susie walk away]
