Text

Start: Carl: Why are we meeting here?

Harry Lime: Have you looked at the view from up here? It’s quite inspiring. No matter how old I get, I always love the ferris wheel.

Carl: I just came from your funeral.

[... … ….]

End: Carl: No. You’re not getting it. I’m taking it with me.

Harry Lime: Come on, give it up. Come to my arms, my only one. Dance with me, my beloved, my sweet—(Carl takes the stuffed rabbit and threatens to throw it out the window of the ferris wheel. A Strauss waltz plays very loudly, and Harry Lime and Carl waltz-struggle for the rabbit. Carl is pushed and Harry Lime waltzes off with the rabbit.)
