DUMBLEDORE

It’s an address of a very old acquaintance of mine. A safe house in
Paris, reinforced with enchantments.
NEWT

Safe house? Why would I need a safe house in Paris?
DUMBLEDORE

One hopes you won’t, but should things at some point go terribly
wrong, it’s good to have a place to go. You know, for a cup of tea.
NEWT

No, no, no—absolutely not.

SCENE 30
EXT. LAMBETH BRIDGE—NIGHT

They Apparate onto a bridge.
NEWT

I’m banned from international travel, Dumbledore. If I leave the
country, they will put me in Azkaban and throw away the key.

DUMBLEDORE stops.
DUMBLEDORE

Do you know why I admire you, Newt? More, perhaps, than any
man I know?
(off NEWT’S surprise)
You don’t seek power or popularity. You simply ask, is the thing
right in itself? If it is, then I must do it, no matter the cost.

He walks on.
NEWT

That’s all very well, Dumbledore, but, forgive me for asking, why
can’t you go?
