You see, when I put on a disguise,

Nobody ever knows it's me.

That's why they call me...

Le master of disguise!

(Chuckles)

There's only one problem with being

Le master of disguise.

That guy.

He's always chasing me.

Bonjour!

That means hello in french.

I am inspecteur austin of the paris police.

Tell me, have you seen any suspicious characters?

You see, it's my job

To chase down suspicious characters.

And I'm chasing the most suspicious character

In all of france...

Le master of disguise!

But I know how to tell who he is.

I have information

That le master of disguise

Is planning to escape the country,

Aboard the most famous train in the world -

The orient express!

Pablo: heh, heh, heh!

It's him, le master of disguise!

Vites! Quickly!

After him!

Heh, heh, heh!

Austin: to paris...

Where there's a grand train station,

(Steam whistle blows)

And the orient express is waiting to leave!

Hmm?

You there!

I am inspecteur austin of the paris police.

Is this train the orient express?

Oui, monsieur. Yes, sir.

And you are the conductor of this train?

Oui monsieur!

I am the conductor.

Have you seen a suspicious character

Trying to get aboard this train?

Suspicious character?

Mais non! No, no, no!

What does this suspicious character look like?

I don't know,

But he laughs like this?

Heh, heh, heh!

Hm...

But no one has said anything funny.

(Steam whistle blows)

I am sorry, monsieur,

But the train is preparing to leave for istanbul!

I must get the passengers on board.

All aboard!

All aboard the orient express!

Hm...

Tyrone: 'scuse me, pardner.

Hmm.

That could be le master of disguise!

Tasha: pardon me.

And that could be le master of disguise.

I just can't tell!

(Steam whistle toots)

I am sorry monsieur l'inspecteur,

But you must step back,

The train is leaving now.

The orient express is now departing for istanbul!

All aboard!

(Train begins to chug)

Pablo: heh, heh, heh. Heh, heh, heh!

(Gasp) that laugh!

Only le master of disguise laughs like that.

Heh, heh, heh! Heh, heh, heh!

Le master of disguise is on the train!

I must catch him before the train reaches istanbul!

Ugh!

(Panting)

I made it!

I'm on the train

And so is le master of disguise!

And that means, I've got him!

I just have to figure out

Which one of the passengers is...

Le master of disguise!

Uniqua: tickets!

Mesdames et messieurs, ladies and gentlemen,

Tickets, please!

(Gasps) the conductor!

Ticket, please!

Wait a minute. Who are you?

I'm the conductor of this train.

But you are not the conductor!

But I am the conductor!

But you are not the conductor that was in the station!

But I am conductor uniqua!

And I am the only conductor on this train.

Now, show me your ticket!

(Gasps)

If she is the conductor,

Then the conductor in the station must have been...

Le master of disguise!

All aboard!

Or...

Maybe she is le master of disguise!

There's only one way to find out.

Laugh!

But you haven't said anything funny.

Something funny...

Something funny...

Okay, what is big, red and eats rocks?

Hm...

I don't know.

A big, red rock eater!

(Giggles)

That's not how le master of disguise laughs.

He goes, heh, heh, heh!

She must really be the conductor!

Conductor uniqua!

I am inspecteur austin of the paris police.

Sacre bleu!

One of the passengers is...

Le master of disguise!

(Gasps) but which one?

Who can it be?

♪ Who can it be? Who can it be? ♪

Both: ♪ it's got to be someone else ♪

And question the passengers.

There are passengers in the dining car.

This way!

Hmm...

Ah... The cowboy.

Do you think he is le master of disguise?

Hmm...

I will question him.

Thank you, waiter.

De rien.

You are welcome, monsieur.

May I join you, monsieur?

Help yourself, pardner.

So, monsieur,

I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy.

I certainly am, pardner.

I'm from texas.

If you are really a cowboy,

Then you will be able to do rope tricks.

Of course I can do rope tricks.

All cowboys can.

Then prove to us that you are a real cowboy, monsieur.

Do some rope tricks!

Okay.

I got my rope right here.
