00:11:42,869 --> 00:11:43,911
They never taste the same.

168
00:11:44,079 --> 00:11:45,454
MRS. McLAIDLAW: Never, dear.

169
00:11:45,997 --> 00:11:48,540
Why did you say that
John Aysgarth was wild, Father?

170
00:11:48,917 --> 00:11:52,044
He was turned out of some club
for cheating at cards, wasn't he?

171
00:11:54,172 --> 00:11:56,423
I don't know. I didn't ask him.

172
00:11:56,591 --> 00:11:59,093
Or ought to have been.
Something unpleasant anyway.

173
00:11:59,260 --> 00:12:01,929
-What's he doing down here?
-Staying at Penshaze.

174
00:12:02,097 --> 00:12:04,348
Shouldn't have thought that
Lord Middleham would have had him there

175
00:12:04,516 --> 00:12:06,475
if he had been turned out of a club
for cheating.

176
00:12:06,643 --> 00:12:09,353
Maybe it wasn't cards.
May have been a woman.

177
00:12:09,687 --> 00:12:11,814
He was correspondent or something,
I believe.

178
00:12:11,981 --> 00:12:13,482
Or ought to have been correspondent.

179
00:12:13,650 --> 00:12:14,817
Good heavens, you can't expect me

180
00:12:15,026 --> 00:12:16,318
to remember every detail about everybody,
can you?

181
00:12:16,569 --> 00:12:18,278
Anyway, I'm going to see him again.

182
00:12:18,446 --> 00:12:20,322
He's calling for me this afternoon
at 3:00.

183
00:12:24,994 --> 00:12:27,329
You're wanted on the telephone, miss.

184
00:12:36,089 --> 00:12:37,297
LINA: Hello?

185
00:12:37,674 --> 00:12:38,882
Hello, Johnnie.

186
00:12:40,135 --> 00:12:41,468
You can't?

187
00:12:45,056 --> 00:12:46,682
Of course, I understand.

188
00:12:47,684 --> 00:12:49,017
Thank you for calling.

189
00:12:51,521 --> 00:12:53,689
I'd love to,
next time you come down again.

190
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:30,559
Hello?

191
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:33,437
Is Mr. John Aysgarth there, please?

192
00:13:34,439 --> 00:13:35,731
Oh, he isn't?

193
00:13:36,065 --> 00:13:38,066
I, uh, thought perhaps...

194
00:13:38,401 --> 00:13:41,153
Uh, are you expecting him
for the Hunt Ball?

195
00:13:41,946 --> 00:13:45,824
This is... It doesn't matter.
I'll ring again.

196
00:13:47,911 --> 00:13:50,621
-Nothing, Miss McLaidlaw.
-Are you sure?

197
00:13:51,915 --> 00:13:54,666
-Positive.
-I don't want to be a nuisance,

198
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:58,420
but couldn't it accidentally have been
put into somebody else's letter box?

199
00:13:58,588 --> 00:14:02,090
I'm sorry, miss. I'm sure it would have
been returned if that had happened.

200
00:14:02,258 --> 00:14:03,592
Well, thank you.

201
00:14:13,603 --> 00:14:15,729
Regent 0021, please.

202
00:14:21,611 --> 00:14:22,945
No reply?

203
00:14:23,947 --> 00:14:25,280
Thank you.

00:14:49,138 --> 00:14:50,931
-(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
-MRS. McLAIDLAW: Lina.

205
00:14:51,641 --> 00:14:52,641
Lina.

206
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,770
-Lina.
-Hello, Mother.

207
00:14:59,357 --> 00:15:00,732
It's 7:00.

208
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,694
Aren't you going to wear your new dress?

209
00:15:04,904 --> 00:15:07,239
No, Mother. I'm not in the mood.

210
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:10,826
-What's the matter, dear?
-My head's splitting.

211
00:15:12,036 --> 00:15:14,079
Mother, I'm not going to the ball.

212
00:15:14,497 --> 00:15:18,000
Not going? You mean...
What'll your father say?

213
00:15:18,251 --> 00:15:19,835
Perhaps some aspirin.

214
00:15:21,337 --> 00:15:22,504
You haven't a temperature, have you?

215
00:15:22,672 --> 00:15:24,089
-(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
-I don't know.

216
00:15:24,257 --> 00:15:25,424
Yes, come in.

217
00:15:26,342 --> 00:15:29,261
-Where's your aspirin, dear? I'll get it.
-In my bureau drawer.

218
00:15:29,846 --> 00:15:32,472
-A telegram for you, miss.
-Thank you.

219
00:16:00,543 --> 00:16:02,878
-Here's the aspirin, dear.
-What for?

220
00:16:03,046 --> 00:16:05,088
-Your headache.
-Oh, that's gone.

221
00:16:05,256 --> 00:16:09,635
-Tell Father I'll be down in a second.
-Really, Lina, I don't understand you.

222
00:16:54,972 --> 00:16:56,556
I say, Lina. I say.

223
00:16:57,308 --> 00:16:59,434
-Yes, Reggie?
-What about our dance?

224
00:16:59,602 --> 00:17:02,729
-Why, of course. Poor Reggie.
-Good.

225
00:17:09,112 --> 00:17:11,947
I say, General, that's not Lina
dancing with Wetherby, is it?

226
00:17:12,115 --> 00:17:15,367
-Yes, it is.
-By Jove, I didn't recognize her at first.

227
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:17,369
I hardly know her myself.

228
00:17:17,537 --> 00:17:19,746
(WHISPERING) There's somebody
at the door for General McLaidlaw.

229
00:17:19,914 --> 00:17:22,040
General, there's somebody
to see you at the door.

230
00:17:22,291 --> 00:17:23,917
This is General McLaidlaw.

231
00:17:24,085 --> 00:17:25,377
I beg your pardon, sir.

232
00:17:25,545 --> 00:17:28,463
There's a gentleman at the door
who says he's with your party.

233
00:17:28,631 --> 00:17:31,466
He has no card, sir. The name is Aysgarth.

234
00:17:31,843 --> 00:17:34,344
Aysgarth? Must be a mistake.

235
00:17:36,472 --> 00:17:38,306
-General McLaidlaw?
-Yes.

236
00:17:38,683 --> 00:17:39,683
I'm John Aysgarth.

237
00:17:40,017 --> 00:17:43,562
Well, Mr. Aysgarth, I don't recall
having invited you in my party.

238
00:17:44,188 --> 00:17:45,897
Oh, how awkward. I thought you had.

239
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:47,816
Otherwise I should never have come
all the way from London.

240
00:17:47,984 --> 00:17:49,568
(STAMMERS)

241
00:17:49,736 --> 00:17:51,153
I don't know what to say.

242
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,612
I suggest you say something, General,

243
00:17:52,780 --> 00:17:54,197
before you embarrass this poor man
to death.

244
00:17:55,491 --> 00:17:56,950

245
00:18:00,288 --> 00:18:01,747
-LINA: Hello, Johnnie.
-Hello, Lina.

246
00:18:01,914 --> 00:18:04,499
-Hello, Johnnie.
-We were wondering when you were coming.

247
00:18:04,667 --> 00:18:07,502
I'm sorry I'm late.
I believe this is our dance, isn't it?

248
00:18:16,888 --> 00:18:18,972
-Hello, Monkeyface.
-Hello.

249
00:18:20,933 --> 00:18:21,933
Hello, Monkeyface.

250
00:18:23,060 --> 00:18:24,060
Hello, Johnnie.

251
00:18:42,747 --> 00:18:44,706
But we can't do this. Where are we going?

252
00:18:44,874 --> 00:18:47,626
-Which is your car?
-This is ridiculous.

253
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:50,253
-Over there.
-Good. Come on.

254
00:18:53,549 --> 00:18:55,509
Roll up the window before you catch cold.

(ENGINE STARTS)

256
00:19:06,813 --> 00:19:09,648
Have you ever been kissed in a car before?

257
00:19:09,899 --> 00:19:11,900
-Johnnie.
-Johnnie what?

258
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:15,237
You mustn't joke with me.
I'm no good at joking.

259
00:19:15,404 --> 00:19:18,073
-I don't know how to flirt.
-I'm not joking. I'm serious.

260
00:19:18,241 --> 00:19:21,159
-Have you ever been kissed in a car?
-Never.

261
00:19:27,041 --> 00:19:28,834
Would you like to be?

262
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:30,752
Yes.

263
00:19:41,097 --> 00:19:42,097
Well, well.

264
00:19:42,265 --> 00:19:46,059
You're the first woman I've ever met
who said yes when she meant yes.

265
00:19:46,227 --> 00:19:49,771
-What do the others say?
-Hanged if I know. Anything but yes.

266
00:19:49,939 --> 00:19:52,440
-But they kiss you?
-Usually.

267
00:19:53,401 --> 00:19:56,486
-Have there...
-Have there what, Monkeyface?

268
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,657
-Have there been many?
-I'm afraid so. Quite a few.

269
00:20:01,284 --> 00:20:04,119
One night, when I couldn't fall asleep,
I started to count them.

270
00:20:04,287 --> 00:20:06,788
The way you count sheep
jumping over a fence.

271
00:20:06,956 --> 00:20:09,416
I think I passed out on number 73.

272
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:14,713
-Are you always frank with them like this?
-No, no, not particularly.

273
00:20:15,214 --> 00:20:17,966
Why are you frank with me,
because I'm different?

274
00:20:18,134 --> 00:20:19,759
No, no, it isn't that.

275
00:20:19,927 --> 00:20:24,180
I'm honest because with you
I think it's the best way to get results.

276
00:20:26,475 --> 00:20:30,145
I hope I'm not saying the wrong thing,
but I love you.

277
00:20:34,483 --> 00:20:37,652
No, you haven't said
the wrong thing, Monkeyface.

278
00:20:38,905 --> 00:20:41,823
-Where are we going?
-I don't know, anywhere.

279
00:20:42,617 --> 00:20:45,785
I think I'm falling in love with you
and I don't quite like it.

280
00:20:45,953 --> 00:20:47,996
That's why I stayed away from you
for a week.

281
00:20:48,164 --> 00:20:49,456
I was afraid of you.

282
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,001
I didn't think it would happen like this.

283
00:20:53,169 --> 00:20:56,087
Neither did I. I saw an entirely
different sort of person.

284
00:20:56,255 --> 00:20:58,924
-So did I.
-I pictured it all rather conventionally.

285
00:20:59,091 --> 00:21:02,135
We'd meet at a garden party, and then
he'd call on me in the evenings,

286
00:21:02,303 --> 00:21:05,639
and we'd go for rides together,
and then afterward we'd...

287
00:21:05,806 --> 00:21:08,600
We're coming to my house.
Would you like to stop for a drink?

288
00:21:08,768 --> 00:21:09,809
Oh, no.

289
00:21:10,186 --> 00:21:13,897

as fast as possible.

291
00:21:22,198 --> 00:21:23,448
Get out.

292
00:21:27,828 --> 00:21:29,621
Why have you stopped?

293
00:21:29,914 --> 00:21:31,831
I'm sure I don't know.

294
00:21:33,376 --> 00:21:34,668
Now come on.

295
00:21:41,050 --> 00:21:43,802
-Good evening, Burton.
-I saw you coming up the drive, miss.

296
00:21:43,970 --> 00:21:46,554
We won't be needing you, Burton.
We've just stopped in for a drink.

-Very good.
-Shall we go in the study?

298
00:21:51,227 --> 00:21:54,771
Now, you sit down. I'll mix you a drink.
I think you need one.

299
00:21:56,691 --> 00:21:58,441
You must be made of iron.

300
00:21:58,609 --> 00:22:00,360
-Why?
-How can you be so calm?

301
00:22:00,528 --> 00:22:02,487
Look at me. I'm shaking.

302
00:22:02,697 --> 00:22:06,866
-The least you could do is swoon away.
-I know. I'm rather surprised myself.

303
00:22:07,576 --> 00:22:10,328
I think it's because
for the first time in my life,

304
00:22:10,496 --> 00:22:12,247
I know what I want.

305
00:22:28,305 --> 00:22:30,098

This is a wonderful moment.

309
00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:41,651
Here we are in my home,
the house that I was born in

310
00:22:42,695 --> 00:22:45,947
alone and together in my favorite room.

311
00:22:46,407 --> 00:22:48,283
Do you like this room?

312
00:22:48,784 --> 00:22:50,118
Very much.

313
00:22:55,249 --> 00:22:57,459
Well, what are you doing here?

314
00:23:01,380 --> 00:23:03,965
I say, old boy,
isn't that going a bit too far?

-I know.

00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:14,642
He doesn't trust me from here to there.
Do you?

You're right.

319
00:23:16,812 --> 00:23:19,606
Stop it before it's too late.
Tell her everything you're thinking.

320

That I'm no good to her,
I can only bring her unhappiness.

321
00:23:23,486 --> 00:23:26,362
Warn her. Speak up, man.
It's your last chance.

322
00:23:27,948 --> 00:23:29,199
Hear him?

323
00:23:29,658 --> 00:23:31,284
Very distinctly.

324
00:23:31,869 --> 00:23:33,578
He's not exaggerating a thing, dear.

325
00:23:33,746 --> 00:23:35,872
It's all true, every word he isn't saying.

326
00:23:37,833 --> 00:23:39,542
I love him, Father.

of that very subject.

00:34:33,113 --> 00:34:34,613
What was that?

501
00:34:35,824 --> 00:34:38,117
Yes, you've made me very, very happy.

502
00:34:40,328 --> 00:34:42,872
Oh, you've made Johnnie very happy, too.

503
00:34:45,167 --> 00:34:46,959
Just a minute, Father,
he wants to say something.

504
00:34:49,337 --> 00:34:53,174
Say something very nice.
These chairs really belong in a museum.

505
00:34:53,341 --> 00:34:54,508
Hello, General.

506
00:34:54,676 --> 00:34:58,387
Yes, but really, shouldn't you
have sent them to a museum?

507
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,515
Naturally we're thrilled. Who wouldn't be?

508
00:35:01,975 --> 00:35:03,392
What, a job?

509
00:35:03,852 --> 00:35:05,853
Oh, yes, Lina and I
were just going into that.

510
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,647
I have some excellent opportunities.

511
00:35:08,899 --> 00:35:10,733
What? What are they?

512
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,446
I've just received a letter
from my cousin, Captain Melbeck.

513
00:35:15,614 --> 00:35:17,698
Yes, he is a splendid chap.

514
00:35:18,241 --> 00:35:22,203
He wants someone to manage his estate.
I thought I'd take the job.

515
00:35:22,370 --> 00:35:24,205
I'm glad you approve.

516
00:35:24,372 --> 00:35:25,831
Yes, we must.
We'll get together very soon.

517
00:35:25,999 --> 00:35:27,708
I'll leave it up to Lina, shall I?

518
00:35:27,876 --> 00:35:29,877
All right. Goodbye, sir.

519
00:35:32,255 --> 00:35:34,715
That was a fib about Captain Melbeck,
wasn't it?

520
00:35:35,425 --> 00:35:36,675
Was it?

521
00:35:47,229 --> 00:35:50,314
-Did you have this letter all the time?
-I did.

522
00:35:51,233 --> 00:35:53,108
Why didn't you tell me?

523
00:35:53,902 --> 00:35:56,612
Because, dear,
I never dreamed I'd be using it...

524
00:35:56,780 --> 00:36:01,283
any more than I ever dreamed we'd be
receiving these two beautiful chairs.

525
00:36:19,594 --> 00:36:22,721
Hello. It's a nice place
old Johnnie's got here.

526
00:36:22,889 --> 00:36:26,559
It's an old Georgian house, isn't it?
I bet it cost him a packet to redecorate.

527
00:36:26,726 --> 00:36:29,061
-Who are you?
-I'm Beaky Thwaite.

528
00:36:30,063 --> 00:36:33,023
-You must be old Johnnie's wife.
-Yes, I am.

529
00:36:33,275 --> 00:36:35,109
Didn't he ever tell you about me?

530
00:36:35,277 --> 00:36:37,570
Beaky? Oh, you're Beaky.

531
00:36:37,737 --> 00:36:39,613
That's what they used to call me
at school.

532
00:36:39,781 --> 00:36:42,908
I happened to be driving by. I thought
I'd just pop in for a cup of tea.

533
00:36:43,076 --> 00:36:44,952
I've heard so much about you, Mr. Thwaite.

534
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,620
Johnnie told me about you, too.

535
00:36:46,788 --> 00:36:49,123
I ran into him at Newbury Races last week.

536
00:36:50,166 --> 00:36:51,458
The races?

537
00:36:51,626 --> 00:36:54,295
Put my foot in it as usual, have I?
Didn't he tell you?

538
00:36:55,463 --> 00:36:58,048
Johnnie has a job.
He couldn't have been at the races.

539
00:36:58,216 --> 00:36:59,466
Besides, he's given up betting.

540
00:36:59,634 --> 00:37:01,802
He has, has he?
Don't you believe it, not Johnnie.

541
00:37:01,970 --> 00:37:03,596
He's a great lad, he is.

542
00:37:03,763 --> 00:37:05,681
You mustn't mind Johnnie cutting up.

543
00:37:05,849 --> 00:37:07,433
That's what makes him Johnnie.

544
00:37:07,601 --> 00:37:10,060
Besides, he thinks you're a topper,
he does.

545
00:37:10,228 --> 00:37:13,856
-I think so, too. (CHUCKLES)
-Won't you sit down, Mr. Thwaite?

546
00:37:14,024 --> 00:37:16,775
I don't see why not. Something wrong?

547
00:37:16,943 --> 00:37:20,154
Yes. There were two chairs here
this morning before I left.

548
00:37:20,322 --> 00:37:22,948
Chairs? Disappeared, have they?

549
00:37:23,325 --> 00:37:24,366
Yes, apparently.

550
00:37:26,286 --> 00:37:29,997
-Were they expensive?
-Yes, they were. They were museum pieces.

551
00:37:30,457 --> 00:37:32,416
(LAUGHS)

552
00:37:32,584 --> 00:37:37,212
That Johnnie, he'll be the death of me.
Don't you understand?

553
00:37:37,505 --> 00:37:40,174
-No, I don't.
-I bet you 20-to-1 that Johnnie sold them.

554
00:37:40,675 --> 00:37:42,051
Sold them? What for?

555
00:37:42,218 --> 00:37:43,886
For money, of course.
A fellow's got to pay

556
00:37:44,054 --> 00:37:45,179
his racing debts, hasn't he?

557
00:37:45,722 --> 00:37:48,807
Johnnie dropped a packet of money
at Newbury, I can tell you that.

558
00:37:48,975 --> 00:37:51,060
You know,
these bookies don't trust a chap for long.

559
00:37:51,269 --> 00:37:52,728
Not a chap like Johnnie, that is.

560
00:37:52,896 --> 00:37:55,689
I don't believe you.
I don't believe a word you're saying.

561
00:37:56,358 --> 00:37:57,983
Put my foot in it again, have I?

562
00:37:58,151 --> 00:38:00,778
My dear, you mustn't take it so seriously.

563
00:38:00,987 --> 00:38:02,655
After all, it's Johnnie.

564
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,616
Wonderful chap, Johnnie.
There's nobody like him.

565
00:38:05,825 --> 00:38:07,493
But I needn't tell you that.

566
00:38:07,661 --> 00:38:09,328
He couldn't have sold them.

567
00:38:09,537 --> 00:38:11,830
He wouldn't, without asking me.

568
00:38:12,374 --> 00:38:15,084
BEAKY: (WHISPERING) Here he comes.
Don't tell him I've said a word.

569
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,294
Now, if you want to see old Johnnie
at his very best,

570
00:38:17,462 --> 00:38:20,756
just say something about chairs.
He doesn't need more than one second

571
00:38:20,924 --> 00:38:22,883
to invent the most howling lie
you ever heard.

572
00:38:23,051 --> 00:38:24,551
I wouldn't have missed this
for anything in the world.

573
00:38:26,221 --> 00:38:28,514
-Beaky.
-Johnnie, how are you?

574
00:38:28,682 --> 00:38:31,225
-What are you doing here?
-I just popped in to see you, old boy.

575
00:38:31,393 --> 00:38:33,018
I'm so glad to see you.

576
00:38:33,561 --> 00:38:35,688
How's my little Monkeyface? Hmm?

577
00:38:36,731 --> 00:38:38,941
-What's the matter, darling?
-Nothing. Why?

578
00:38:39,109 --> 00:38:40,401
You sure?

579
00:38:41,069 --> 00:38:44,321
Your wife seems to be missing
some chairs, old boy.

580
00:38:45,198 --> 00:38:47,491
Beaky, your pipe's not lit.
Let me get you a match.

581
00:38:47,659 --> 00:38:48,951
Oh, thanks, old bean.

582
00:38:49,619 --> 00:38:50,619
Hmm...

583
00:38:54,958 --> 00:38:57,584
-Here you are, Beaky, catch.
-Thanks, old boy.

584
00:38:57,836 --> 00:38:59,044
About those chairs, old bean?

585
00:38:59,212 --> 00:39:01,463
-Hmm?
-The missing chairs, old man.

586
00:39:01,881 --> 00:39:03,048
Oh, yes, the chairs.

587
00:39:03,466 --> 00:39:05,300
I imagine the American came
to get them this morning.

588
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:06,719
What American?

589
00:39:07,137 --> 00:39:10,139
Didn't I tell you about him, darling?
Oh, how stupid of me.

590
00:39:10,432 --> 00:39:13,892
He dropped by about a week ago.
A friend of Melbeck's.

591
00:39:14,185 --> 00:39:15,436
I think you were out riding.

592
00:39:16,062 --> 00:39:17,062
Go on, old man.

593
00:39:18,648 --> 00:39:21,650
Anyway, he admired the chairs.
Extravagant fellow.

594
00:39:21,818 --> 00:39:24,945
Offered £100 apiece for them.
Can you imagine? Anyone would take that.

595
00:39:26,072 --> 00:39:27,072
I wouldn't.

596
00:39:29,659 --> 00:39:31,702
Wouldn't you really, dear?

597
00:39:32,579 --> 00:39:34,288
That never occurred to me.

598
00:39:34,456 --> 00:39:35,581
I, uh...

599
00:39:35,749 --> 00:39:37,082
As a matter of fact, I told him you would.

600
00:39:38,501 --> 00:39:40,544
Why didn't you mention it?

601
00:39:40,795 --> 00:39:42,963
I'm sorry, darling, but I thought I did.

602
00:39:43,131 --> 00:39:46,133
That's all right.
If they're gone, they're gone.

603
00:39:46,301 --> 00:39:47,760
They're gone, all right.

604
00:39:48,595 --> 00:39:50,679
LINA: Shall we change for dinner?

605
00:39:51,222 --> 00:39:52,347
You are an angel.

606
00:39:54,309 --> 00:39:57,895
Hold on a minute. You say
he offered you £100 apiece for them?

607
00:39:58,354 --> 00:40:00,564
-That's right.
-Let's have a look at the check.

608
00:40:00,732 --> 00:40:03,233
-He'll send it along.
-I bet you £10 to a shilling

609
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:04,985
you wouldn't dare let
your wife pick up the telephone

610
00:40:05,153 --> 00:40:06,695
and ask old Melbeck,
or whatever his name is,

611
00:40:06,863 --> 00:40:08,906
if he ever saw this American.

612
00:40:09,074 --> 00:40:11,909
Are you implying
that my husband is a liar, Mr. Thwaite?

613
00:40:12,077 --> 00:40:14,995
Oh, Monkeyface, don't mind Beaky,
he's only joking.

614
00:40:15,455 --> 00:40:17,831
I prefer jokes on other subjects.

615
00:40:18,083 --> 00:40:20,167
Are you staying for dinner, Mr. Thwaite?

616
00:40:20,335 --> 00:40:23,420
Dinner? I'm spending the weekend
unless you throw me out.

617
00:40:23,588 --> 00:40:25,756
Johnnie's friends are always welcome,

618
00:40:25,924 --> 00:40:28,342
as long as they remain Johnnie's friends.

619
00:40:44,192 --> 00:40:45,859
Hello, Isobel. Good afternoon.

620
00:40:46,027 --> 00:40:47,945
-I'll see you tomorrow.
-Admiring your display?

621
00:40:48,154 --> 00:40:49,488
ISOBEL: It's nice. Isn't it?

622
00:40:49,656 --> 00:40:52,616
After all, we have to do well by
our only local celebrity.

623
00:40:52,784 --> 00:40:54,409
-Are you going my way?
-Yes, I am.

624
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:56,120
-How's Johnnie?
-Oh, he's fine.

625
00:40:56,287 --> 00:40:59,623
I just bought your latest for him.
He's an ardent admirer of yours.

626
00:40:59,791 --> 00:41:01,708
I don't believe there's
one of your stories he hasn't read.

627
00:41:02,669 --> 00:41:06,046
-What's the matter?
-Oh, I just remembered something.

628
00:41:06,297 --> 00:41:08,465
Will you excuse me, Isobel?
I want to make some inquiries.

629
00:41:08,633 --> 00:41:10,551
-Certainly, my dear.
-I'll see you for dinner soon.

630
00:41:10,718 --> 00:41:13,554
-Delighted.
-I'll phone you, then. Goodbye.

631
00:41:19,727 --> 00:41:21,353
BEAKY: Hello, old girl.

632
00:41:21,729 --> 00:41:24,773
Mr. Thwaite, I owe you an apology.

633
00:41:25,024 --> 00:41:26,775
Good. I mean, what for?

634
00:41:26,943 --> 00:41:30,737
I'll explain to you later,
but I'm afraid I've done you an injustice.

635
00:41:30,905 --> 00:41:32,990
You've done me an injustice?
Thanks very much.

636
00:41:33,158 --> 00:41:35,242
I, my dear, forgive you
from the bottom of my heart.

637
00:41:36,244 --> 00:41:37,744
You seem a bit hot under the collar.

638
00:41:37,912 --> 00:41:40,080
Not angry, are you? Don't answer. You are.

639
00:41:40,248 --> 00:41:42,916
-Must be about old Johnnie.
-Would you excuse me? I--

640
00:41:43,084 --> 00:41:45,961
Dear, you mustn't be angry with Johnnie.
It's a waste of time.

641
00:41:46,129 --> 00:41:48,964
If you want to get sore with me,
that's a different thing altogether.

642
00:41:49,132 --> 00:41:50,299
I annoy everybody, always did.

643
00:41:50,508 --> 00:41:52,926
But not Johnnie. No, no, no.
You mustn't, really.

644
00:41:53,094 --> 00:41:55,137
JOHNNIE: Lina! Beaky!

645
00:41:55,638 --> 00:41:58,473
Would you mind, I want to speak
to Johnnie alone. Could you--

646
00:41:58,641 --> 00:42:00,100
-You mean out in the garden?
-Please.

647
00:42:01,895 --> 00:42:04,104
Hello, hello, hello.
Don't move. Just stay like that.

648
00:42:04,272 --> 00:42:06,190
I must watch the expressions
on your faces.

649
00:42:06,441 --> 00:42:07,774
-Ethel !
-What've you got there, old bean?

650
00:42:07,942 --> 00:42:10,611
You'll find out soon enough, Beaky.
This is a red-letter day. Ethel.

651
00:42:10,778 --> 00:42:13,197
-Yes, sir?
-What have we to drink in the house?

652
00:42:13,364 --> 00:42:15,574
Gin, brandy, champagne
and Pimm's No. 1, sir.

653
00:42:15,742 --> 00:42:18,160
-Bring them all, Ethel, and get a move on.
-Very good, sir.

654
00:42:18,328 --> 00:42:20,037
Stand aside. Stand aside, Beaky.

655
00:42:20,205 --> 00:42:23,457
Remember that necklace you admired
in the shop window in Regent Street?

656
00:42:23,625 --> 00:42:24,625
It's yours.

657
00:42:24,792 --> 00:42:26,210
And here... Oh, no, that's for Ethel.

658
00:42:26,377 --> 00:42:28,295
Oh, Beaky,
here's a little present for you.

659
00:42:28,463 --> 00:42:30,130
-What is it, old bean?
-It's a secret.

660
00:42:30,298 --> 00:42:33,300
-Oh, stick.
-That's the finest that money can buy.

661
00:42:33,468 --> 00:42:35,844
-Thanks, old bean.
-Hold those a moment, will you?

662
00:42:36,012 --> 00:42:37,930
Darling, do you remember this?

663
00:42:38,097 --> 00:42:39,765
I saw the hungry eye you gave it

664
00:42:39,933 --> 00:42:41,808
last time we were up in London.
It's yours.

665
00:42:41,976 --> 00:42:43,977
Thank you, Beaky.

666
00:42:44,312 --> 00:42:45,687
Here are some hats for you.

667
00:42:45,855 --> 00:42:48,273
Never did like your hats
from the first moment I ever saw you.

668
00:42:48,441 --> 00:42:50,025

you wore on the train?

669
00:42:50,193 --> 00:42:51,693
Johnnie, I don't understand.

670
00:42:51,861 --> 00:42:54,571
-What made you do all this?
-Now, dear, don't be angry.

671
00:42:54,739 --> 00:42:57,658
If you don't like the hats,
you can always return them.

672
00:42:57,825 --> 00:42:59,493
I got a present for myself. Do you mind?

673
00:43:00,995 --> 00:43:02,955

-That's right.

-All dogs are fond of me.
-Go to Monkeyface.

what this is all about.

681

-What do you mean?

683
00:43:27,605 --> 00:43:29,606
-The way you worked that out so quickly.
-What?

00:43:29,774 --> 00:43:31,024

Oh, I suppose you disapprove
of my betting.

-Go on, darling, smile.

691
00:43:46,457 --> 00:43:48,458
Johnnie, where did you get the £200?

692
00:43:48,626 --> 00:43:51,378
-That's not a very tactful question.
-Where did you get it?

693
00:43:51,546 --> 00:43:53,130
You know very well there was no American.

694
00:43:53,298 --> 00:43:54,548
I got it for the chairs, of course.

695
00:43:55,425 --> 00:43:57,968
You sold the chairs
to gamble all your money on a horse.

696
00:43:58,136 --> 00:44:00,012
Not exactly.
I owed the bookies some money.

-Think that will work?

703

Come on, smile. Come on, dear.

704
00:44:18,072 --> 00:44:20,365
-Do you see the glimmer of a smile?
-No, not a thing, Beaky.

00:44:20,533 --> 00:44:21,658
-Know any other tricks?
-Yeah.

Do you really read them all, my dear?

-Oh ! Detective stories.
-Yes, he adores them.

753

So Johnnie's settled down
to the simple rural life.

-And it seems to agree with him.
-Abandoned all his vices, has he?

Vices? What vices, Mrs. Newsham?

756
00:47:26,427 --> 00:47:29,262
Such as betting at the races,
for instance.

00:47:29,472 --> 00:47:31,848

He's much too busy with his job.

Is he? Then he must have taken
an afternoon off last Tuesday.

but you're Johnnie's cousin
as well as his employer,

I told him I wouldn't prosecute.

when I discharged him?

-When did you discharge him?
-Six weeks ago.

I haven't a very keen sense of humor.

If this is a joke,
I wish you would tell me.

00:53:56,317 --> 00:53:57,609
It seems pretty obvious

827
00:53:57,776 --> 00:54:00,278
that your father would've left you
a lot more than his portrait

828
00:54:00,446 --> 00:54:02,655
if you'd been anybody else
but Mrs. John Aysgarth.

829
00:54:02,823 --> 00:54:04,824
Oh, so that's what you meant.

830
00:54:04,992 --> 00:54:06,618
You haven't answered my question.

831
00:54:07,828 --> 00:54:10,455
What about you? Have you any regrets?

832
00:54:11,999 --> 00:54:16,544
Monkeyface, marrying you is the one thing
I've never changed my mind about.

833
00:54:17,296 --> 00:54:20,548
-Do you really mean that, Johnnie?
-Yes, I really mean that.

834
00:54:21,342 --> 00:54:24,302
I want nothing
but to spend the rest of my life with you.

835
00:54:24,470 --> 00:54:27,013
And if you were to die first, I...

836
00:54:27,222 --> 00:54:29,140
If I were to die first?

837
00:54:31,810 --> 00:54:33,728
Listen, what about you?

838
00:54:34,521 --> 00:54:37,148
I couldn't stop loving you if I tried.

839
00:54:39,068 --> 00:54:40,610
Have you tried?

840
00:54:42,071 --> 00:54:44,155
Yes. Once.

841
00:54:45,950 --> 00:54:47,158
When?

842
00:54:48,994 --> 00:54:51,746
When I found out you'd lost your job
with Captain Melbeck.

843
00:54:56,293 --> 00:54:59,212
-How long have you known?
-Since last Friday.

844
00:55:00,047 --> 00:55:03,132
-Who told you?
-Captain Melbeck. I met him.

845
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,721
-Did he tell you why?
-No.

846
00:55:11,100 --> 00:55:12,725
Suppose you tell me why.

847
00:55:13,394 --> 00:55:15,395
We just didn't get along.

848
00:55:16,438 --> 00:55:19,732
Quite nice here.
Shall we stop and look at the sea?

849
00:55:28,075 --> 00:55:30,493
Why didn't you get along with him?

850
00:55:30,661 --> 00:55:33,287
I don't know.
He's a bit of an old fogy, you know.

851
00:55:33,455 --> 00:55:36,207
I suppose my ideas
were too daring for him.

852
00:55:36,375 --> 00:55:38,334
Monkeyface,
I've always had the notion that

853
00:55:38,502 --> 00:55:41,087
the secret of success
is to start at the top.

854
00:55:41,547 --> 00:55:43,089
(CHUCKLES)

855
00:55:43,257 --> 00:55:46,384
You think I'm talking through my hat,
don't you? Well, I'm not.

856
00:55:46,552 --> 00:55:49,595
The way to make money
is to think in a big way.

857
00:55:51,181 --> 00:55:54,350
Look at all this land, for instance.
Look at the view.

858
00:55:54,518 --> 00:55:56,436
Why isn't something done about it?

859
00:55:57,229 --> 00:56:00,898
If I had £10,000, or better still, 20,000,

860
00:56:01,191 --> 00:56:03,651
I could start a development here.

861
00:56:08,282 --> 00:56:10,533
All you need is £20,000?

862
00:56:11,076 --> 00:56:12,618
Mmm-hmm.

863
00:56:12,786 --> 00:56:14,203
Or £30,000.

864
00:56:15,289 --> 00:56:17,832
An extra £10,000 wouldn't hurt a bit.

865
00:56:18,751 --> 00:56:20,960
You see, Beaky, this is the ground plan.

866
00:56:21,128 --> 00:56:23,921
BEAKY: Wonderful, old bean.
We could put the large hotel there.

867
00:56:24,089 --> 00:56:26,841
That's the idea. And down below here,
we could build the beach huts.

868
00:56:27,009 --> 00:56:28,009
Beechnuts, old bean?

869
00:56:28,177 --> 00:56:29,635
-Huts, Beaky.
-(DOOR OPENS)

870
00:56:29,803 --> 00:56:31,929
Hello. What goes on here, anyway?

871
00:56:32,097 --> 00:56:34,140
Monkeyface, we're organizing
a real estate company.

872
00:56:34,308 --> 00:56:37,143
We're about to buy a very beautiful
piece of land right by the sea.

873
00:56:37,311 --> 00:56:39,687
What a view, what sun, what air.

874
00:56:40,022 --> 00:56:42,148
Then we're going to sell part of it
at a profit.

875
00:56:42,316 --> 00:56:43,858
Yes, but all of this
will need financing, won't it?

876
00:56:44,026 --> 00:56:45,068
Of course.

877
00:56:45,319 --> 00:56:46,819
You found somebody to put up the money?

878
00:56:47,071 --> 00:56:48,321
Of course.

879
00:56:48,489 --> 00:56:50,156
-Who?
-Me.

880
00:56:53,452 --> 00:56:54,494
Oh, I see.

881
00:56:55,412 --> 00:56:57,872
The idea is mine,
but the money is Beaky's.

882
00:56:58,540 --> 00:57:02,168
And the corporation, Beaky borrows
against those securities he has in Paris.

883
00:57:02,336 --> 00:57:05,588
Then we issue stock, and...
Let me show you, dear.

884
00:57:07,591 --> 00:57:10,176
The company's going to be in my name.

885
00:57:10,344 --> 00:57:12,762
-LINA: Yes, but...
-Look, darling...

886
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,598
let me show you how simple it is.

887
00:57:17,726 --> 00:57:20,353
-Does Beaky understand it?
-Perfectly.

888
00:57:20,938 --> 00:57:22,230
I think.

889
00:57:23,232 --> 00:57:24,273
I beg your pardon, sir.

890
00:57:24,525 --> 00:57:26,484
Captain Melbeck would like to talk to you
on the telephone.

891
00:57:28,695 --> 00:57:29,695
Oh.

892
00:57:30,197 --> 00:57:32,115
Thank you, Ethel.
I'll take it in the study.

893
00:57:32,282 --> 00:57:34,492
-Excuse me, Beaky.
-All right, old bean.

894
00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:39,330
Beaky, please explain it to me, will you?

895
00:57:39,498 --> 00:57:41,082
You see, my dear girl...

896
00:57:41,250 --> 00:57:45,294
I say, I rather like this feeling of
big business and all that sort of thing.

897
00:57:45,754 --> 00:57:48,172
George, I keep telling you
not to worry about it.

898
00:57:48,340 --> 00:57:50,716
I've got something on now that'll make it
certain I can pay you back

899
00:57:50,884 --> 00:57:51,884
within a couple of weeks.

900
00:57:52,344 --> 00:57:55,388
Well, you see, we buy up this land
and then we sell part of it.

901
00:57:55,556 --> 00:57:57,974
That gives us a 100% profit in no time.

902
00:57:58,142 --> 00:58:01,060
On the other part,
we build something or other.

903
00:58:01,228 --> 00:58:04,272
But from whom do you buy the land?
How much do you pay for it?

904
00:58:04,439 --> 00:58:07,900
-To whom do you sell it?
-That shouldn't be difficult.

905
00:58:08,735 --> 00:58:11,070
Beaky, isn't it about time you grew up?

906
00:58:11,238 --> 00:58:14,073
-I say, old girl. You're scolding me.
-You need a scolding.

907
00:58:14,366 --> 00:58:15,658
-Do I?
-Yes, you do.

908
00:58:15,826 --> 00:58:17,368
Shall I go and stand in the corner?

909
00:58:21,290 --> 00:58:24,750
-Beaky, you're not being fair to Johnnie.
-I say, old girl, that's a bit thick.

910
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,211
Why, he's president
of the whole bally thingamajig.

911
00:58:27,379 --> 00:58:30,756
-Gets a salary, writes his own checks.
-Yes, that's what I mean.

912
00:58:30,924 --> 00:58:32,842
What's wrong with that?

913
00:58:33,552 --> 00:58:37,597
Old bean, Lina's been telling me
you're a bit soft in the head. Is that it?

914
00:58:37,764 --> 00:58:41,392
-It sounded like that to me.
-Come now, that's not very wifely.

915
00:58:41,727 --> 00:58:44,770
Beaky, hadn't you better change for
dinner? It's getting late, you know.

916
00:58:44,938 --> 00:58:47,273
Darling, Beaky's staying with us
for a few days.

917
00:58:47,441 --> 00:58:50,234
-You know your room.
-I shan't be a jiffy.

918
00:58:55,115 --> 00:58:58,784
Look here. What right have you
to interfere in my affairs?

919
00:58:59,453 --> 00:59:02,788
I wasn't really. I was only...

920
00:59:03,707 --> 00:59:05,333
You were only what?

921
00:59:05,500 --> 00:59:09,003
I was only trying to tell Beaky that
he shouldn't leave everything to you

922
00:59:09,171 --> 00:59:10,254
because if something went wrong,

923
00:59:10,422 --> 00:59:12,924
he should take
a little responsibility, too.

924
00:59:13,133 --> 00:59:16,469
It's not as if you're both
experienced businessmen.

925
00:59:17,012 --> 00:59:18,554
What the devil do you know about business?

926
00:59:18,764 --> 00:59:20,890
Very little. I was only--

927
00:59:21,058 --> 00:59:22,725
Suppose Beaky had taken you seriously?

928
00:59:22,893 --> 00:59:25,186
You'd have ruined the whole scheme,
you realize that?

929
00:59:25,354 --> 00:59:29,273
-But if it weren't any good...
-That's my business, not yours.

930
00:59:30,484 --> 00:59:32,693
If I say it's good, it's good.

931
00:59:33,237 --> 00:59:34,654
I'm going through with this deal.

932
00:59:34,821 --> 00:59:37,240
I don't want any interference
from you or anyone else.

933
00:59:37,407 --> 00:59:39,867
-Is that clear?
-Yes, that's clear.

934
00:59:51,964 --> 00:59:53,631
Hello, Monkeyface.

935
00:59:54,049 --> 00:59:56,926
Oh ! You frightened me.
I didn't see you coming.

936
00:59:59,304 --> 01:00:02,598
I thought you might like to know
I'm calling off the real estate plan.

937
01:00:02,766 --> 01:00:04,016
Why? What happened?

938
01:00:04,184 --> 01:00:07,019
-Nothing.
-Does Beaky know about this?

939
01:00:07,437 --> 01:00:09,939
-No, not yet.
-Why are you doing it?

940
01:00:10,607 --> 01:00:13,943
I don't know. Perhaps the land
isn't any good. Who knows?

941
01:00:14,111 --> 01:00:17,530
Or perhaps I don't like the idea
of risking Beaky's money.

942
01:00:17,698 --> 01:00:20,700
Or perhaps it's a stiff job
and I'm too lazy.

943
01:00:22,077 --> 01:00:25,705
-Are you still angry about last night?
-No, I'm not angry.

944
01:00:26,123 --> 01:00:29,333
Are you sure?
Because I couldn't sleep all night.

945
01:00:29,501 --> 01:00:32,670
You'd never spoken so sharply
to me before, and I was afraid...

946
01:00:32,838 --> 01:00:34,380
Afraid of what?

947
01:00:35,007 --> 01:00:37,633
I was afraid you'd stopped loving me.

948
01:00:38,051 --> 01:00:40,303
No, Monkeyface, I'm not angry.

949
01:00:40,721 --> 01:00:42,763

Take that, old girl.

954
01:01:07,372 --> 01:01:09,749
Personally, old bean, I don't see
what's wrong with the scheme.

955
01:01:09,916 --> 01:01:12,918
But if you say there's no good
going ahead, don't let's go ahead.

956
01:01:13,086 --> 01:01:14,587
Do I get another turn?

957
01:01:14,755 --> 01:01:19,091
I still don't understand why we have to go
all the way out there to look at it.

958
01:01:19,259 --> 01:01:22,553
Beaky, I won't be responsible
for calling the scheme off

959
01:01:22,721 --> 01:01:24,263
without first proving to you it's no good.

960
01:01:24,431 --> 01:01:26,766
If you say it's no good,
that satisfies me.

961
01:01:27,351 --> 01:01:30,061
After all, you discovered the land.
It was your idea.

962
01:01:30,228 --> 01:01:33,773
If a fellow has an idea,
he jolly well ought to follow it up.

963
01:01:33,940 --> 01:01:37,026
All the same, you have to go up there
early tomorrow morning and take a look.

964
01:01:37,194 --> 01:01:39,195
Why are you so insistent?

965
01:01:39,529 --> 01:01:42,114
Because, as I told you,
I won't be responsible.

966
01:01:42,282 --> 01:01:46,285
BEAKY: That's a long one. "Mudder."
There's no such word.

967
01:01:46,620 --> 01:01:47,787
Try the "R."

968
01:01:47,954 --> 01:01:49,121
I don't want to go up there
in the morning.

969
01:01:49,289 --> 01:01:52,124

and cold, and wet.

BEAKY: What time do we have to start?

971
01:01:55,337 --> 01:01:59,131
If I had an "E" and an "R",
I could make that murderer.

972
01:01:59,966 --> 01:02:01,300
The earlier the better.

973
01:02:01,468 --> 01:02:04,470
I'd say about 7:00. There won't be
so much traffic on the road.

974
01:02:04,638 --> 01:02:08,140
BEAKY: 7:00? That's a bit pig's tail.
JOHNNIE: Pig's tail?

975
01:02:08,308 --> 01:02:12,311

Did you never hear that one, pig's tail?

No, ma'am, he wouldn't wait.

-Hello, darling.

988
01:06:28,109 --> 01:06:29,234
(CHUCKLING)

989
01:06:29,402 --> 01:06:32,279
What's all this?
I've only been away a few hours.

990
01:06:32,447 --> 01:06:35,783
-It seemed like a thousand years.
-Seems like that to me, too.

991
01:06:35,950 --> 01:06:37,368
Shut up, Beaky. It was nothing.

992
01:06:37,535 --> 01:06:40,788
Nothing? I came very close
to losing my life. You call that nothing?

993
01:06:42,082 --> 01:06:45,376
-You nearly lost your life?
-Came very close to it.

994
01:06:46,711 --> 01:06:50,089
-Let's drop the subject.
-No, Beaky, go on. I want to hear.

995
01:06:50,882 --> 01:06:54,259
There we were at the top of the cliff.
I finally agreed that Johnnie was right.

996
01:06:54,427 --> 01:06:56,136
There was too much chalk in the soil.

997
01:06:56,304 --> 01:06:58,305
I was trying to turn my car

998
01:06:58,473 --> 01:07:01,100
near the edge of the cliff.
I never was very handy with a car.

999
01:07:01,267 --> 01:07:02,643
-Was Johnnie in the car?
-No.

1000
01:07:02,811 --> 01:07:04,895
He was a few feet away
looking over at the view.

1001
01:07:05,063 --> 01:07:06,605
It's hardly worth talking about.
Let's all have a drink.

1002
01:07:06,773 --> 01:07:07,773
Go on, Beaky.

1003
01:07:07,941 --> 01:07:10,484
I didn't realize I was backing the car
towards the edge.

1004
01:07:10,652 --> 01:07:12,444
But I was, by Jove. Right up to it.

1005
01:07:12,612 --> 01:07:15,447
If Johnnie hadn't taken a flying leap
and grabbed the brake,

1006
01:07:15,615 --> 01:07:17,616
I should be in kingdom come by now.

1007
01:07:18,493 --> 01:07:21,078
-Johnnie saved your life?
-He certainly did.

1008
01:07:21,246 --> 01:07:23,956
Came jolly close to losing his own, too.

1009
01:07:24,249 --> 01:07:27,167
Johnnie, I can never tell you
how much this means to me.

1010
01:07:27,335 --> 01:07:30,129
-To you, darling?
-It means a good bit to me, too.

1011
01:07:30,296 --> 01:07:33,507
The old fellow deserves a reward.
How about a night out?

1012
01:07:34,551 --> 01:07:36,135
A spot of celebrating on me.

1013
01:07:36,302 --> 01:07:38,512
That's kind of you, Beaky,
but don't you have to go to Paris?

1014
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:41,598
-Paris?
-Yes. My securities are over there.

1015
01:07:41,766 --> 01:07:43,934
I've got to go over there
and cancel all the arrangements for them.

1016
01:07:45,353 --> 01:07:47,354
Why don't you come over with me?

1017
01:07:47,522 --> 01:07:49,982
The cad seems to forget I'm a married man.

1018
01:07:50,150 --> 01:07:51,483
I'll tell you what I might do, Beaky.

1019
01:07:51,651 --> 01:07:52,985
I might drive up
as far as London with you.

1020
01:07:53,153 --> 01:07:54,486
Take you up on that evening out.

1021
01:07:54,654 --> 01:07:57,656
-How about that, Monkeyface?
-Yes, Monkey-- Lina. Do let him come.

1022
01:07:57,824 --> 01:07:59,491
It seems to me that--

1023
01:07:59,659 --> 01:08:02,119
Yes, I know. It seems to you
I should be looking for a job.

1024
01:08:02,287 --> 01:08:04,455
It seems to me I'd have much more chance
of getting a job in London

1025
01:08:04,664 --> 01:08:05,664
than I would anywhere around here.

1026
01:08:05,832 --> 01:08:08,000
Yes, of course he would.
Do let him come, Lina.

1027
01:08:08,168 --> 01:08:10,669
(CHUCKLING) I don't see
very well how I can stop him.

1028
01:08:10,837 --> 01:08:12,337
-Hooray!
-Hooray!

1029
01:08:12,505 --> 01:08:14,840
Pity that he won't come to Paris with me.

1030
01:08:15,008 --> 01:08:17,926
Did I ever tell you what happened to me
last time I was in Paris?

1031
01:08:18,094 --> 01:08:21,013
A very curious incident.
I was walking down the Champs Élysées...

1032
01:08:21,181 --> 01:08:23,724
and I met the most charming girl.

1033
01:08:23,892 --> 01:08:25,476
Took her out
and gave her a spot of dinner.

1034
01:08:25,685 --> 01:08:27,561
-And it wasn't till much later...
-(CLEARS THROAT)

1035
01:08:28,354 --> 01:08:31,273
Oh. Sorry, old bean. Sorry, old girl.

1036
01:08:34,027 --> 01:08:36,028
Nearly put the foot in it again, have I?

1037
01:08:48,208 --> 01:08:49,833
(DOG BARKING)

1038
01:08:55,006 --> 01:08:57,174
There's an Inspector Hodgson
in the hall, ma'am.

1039
01:08:57,342 --> 01:08:58,759
He wanted to see Mr. Aysgarth.

1040
01:08:58,927 --> 01:09:01,804
But when I said he was away,
he asked if he might speak to you.

1041
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:07,893
Show him to the study,
will you, Ethel, please.

1042
01:09:08,061 --> 01:09:09,728
Very good, madam.

1043
01:09:17,111 --> 01:09:20,239
-Will you come this way, please, sir?
-Thank you.

1044
01:09:29,707 --> 01:09:31,917
-Mrs. Aysgarth?
-Yes.

1045
01:09:32,085 --> 01:09:35,963
My name's Hodgson. Inspector Hodgson.
We're from the county police.

1046
01:09:36,130 --> 01:09:38,090
This is my colleague. Mr. Benson.

1047
01:09:38,258 --> 01:09:40,092
-How do you do, Mr. Benson?
-How do you do?

1048
01:09:40,260 --> 01:09:42,553
-Won't you sit down?
-Thank you, ma'am.

1049
01:09:42,804 --> 01:09:45,305
I understand your husband's not in.

1050
01:09:45,515 --> 01:09:47,599
No. He's been up in London for two days.

1051
01:09:47,767 --> 01:09:50,936
As he's not here,
I thought you might be able to help us.

1052
01:09:51,104 --> 01:09:53,897
Yes, of course.
Won't you have some tea or something?

1053
01:09:54,065 --> 01:09:56,316
No, thank you. We've had ours.

1054
01:09:56,651 --> 01:09:59,027
I believe you know a Mr. Thwaite.

1055
01:09:59,195 --> 01:10:01,405
Yes, he's a close friend of my husband.

1056
01:10:01,573 --> 01:10:03,907
I don't know how to put it, quite.

1057
01:10:04,576 --> 01:10:07,202
Perhaps it would be easier
if I showed you this.

1058
01:10:07,370 --> 01:10:09,037
This afternoon's paper.

1059
01:10:11,624 --> 01:10:13,083
Excuse me.

1060
01:10:50,663 --> 01:10:53,957
I'm sorry. This is a shock.

1061
01:10:54,167 --> 01:10:58,003
You see, we knew him so very well.

1062
01:10:58,504 --> 01:11:01,089
Sorry to have to do this, ma'am,

1063
01:11:01,257 --> 01:11:04,760
but we're making inquiries
on behalf of the Paris police.

1064
01:11:04,928 --> 01:11:07,137
They found papers on Mr. Thwaite's person

1065
01:11:07,305 --> 01:11:10,015
which indicated he'd just formed
a corporation with your husband.

1066
01:11:15,188 --> 01:11:18,523
What do the French police believe
caused the death?

1067
01:11:18,900 --> 01:11:22,444
This is the copy of a telegram
we received from Paris.

1068
01:11:31,037 --> 01:11:34,748
"Thwaite visited the place
in the company of another Englishman.

1069
01:11:34,916 --> 01:11:37,417
"Both men had evidently been drinking.

1070
01:11:37,585 --> 01:11:40,712
"On arrival, Thwaite ordered
a bottle of brandy.

1071
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:44,633
"According to the statement of one of
the waiters belonging to the establishment

1072
01:11:44,801 --> 01:11:49,221
"Thwaite's companion asked for
the brandy to be served in large beakers.

1073
01:11:49,514 --> 01:11:52,808
"Apparently, as a result of a bet
between the two men...

1074
01:11:52,976 --> 01:11:57,062
"Thwaite filled one of these beakers
to the brim and drank it all.

1075
01:11:57,355 --> 01:12:00,440
"The other man was not present
when the actual tragedy happened

1076
01:12:00,608 --> 01:12:03,360
"having left the place
a few minutes before.

1077
01:12:03,528 --> 01:12:07,406
"French police have not yet succeeded
in establishing his identity.

1078
01:12:07,699 --> 01:12:11,368
"According to the waiter, who has
a slight understanding of English,

1079
01:12:11,536 --> 01:12:16,248
"his name would appear to be
'Awlbeam' or 'Holebeam."'

1080
01:12:19,752 --> 01:12:22,004
I'm sorry to upset you, ma'am.

1081
01:12:22,588 --> 01:12:25,757
But do you or your husband
know of any friend of Mr. Thwaite's

1082
01:12:25,925 --> 01:12:28,093
who would answer to such a name?

1083
01:12:28,928 --> 01:12:32,931
Perhaps Mrs. Aysgarth could enlighten us
about this corporation.

1084
01:12:33,516 --> 01:12:35,517
Yes, I believe I can.

1085
01:12:36,144 --> 01:12:39,646
My husband had planned
a real estate development with him.

1086
01:12:40,231 --> 01:12:43,900
Mr. Thwaite had gone to Paris
to dissolve the corporation.

1087
01:12:44,277 --> 01:12:47,195
He apparently died
before he could do this.

1088
01:12:47,739 --> 01:12:50,574
Thank you, ma'am.
Any further questions, Benson?

1089
01:12:50,742 --> 01:12:52,284
None that I can think of.

1090
01:12:52,452 --> 01:12:55,287
-Thank you very much, Mrs. Aysgarth.
-Thank you.

1091
01:13:04,297 --> 01:13:05,630
Oh, I'm sorry.

1092
01:13:14,223 --> 01:13:16,391
When does Mr. Aysgarth return from London?

1093
01:13:16,559 --> 01:13:17,976
I expect him this evening.

1094
01:13:18,144 --> 01:13:20,187
HODGSON: Would you ask him
to ring me at the station?

1095
01:13:20,354 --> 01:13:22,814
Yes, of course.
Goodbye, Inspector Hodgson.

-Benson.
-Goodbye, Mrs. Aysgarth.

1099
01:14:10,029 --> 01:14:12,489
He didn't go to Paris, I tell you.

01:14:23,084 --> 01:14:25,085
May I speak to Mr. Aysgarth, please?

1103
01:14:26,045 --> 01:14:27,295
When do you expect him?

1104
01:14:29,632 --> 01:14:31,716
He left yesterday morning?

1105
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:35,345
No. It doesn't matter. Thank you.

1107
01:15:13,759 --> 01:15:16,219
You've read about Beaky, have you?

1108
01:15:17,972 --> 01:15:20,223
I was terribly fond of Beaky.

1109
01:15:20,892 --> 01:15:23,768
-Were you?
-Yes, dear.

1110
01:15:24,270 --> 01:15:27,314
I loved that silly, generous,
good-hearted fool.

1111
01:15:27,648 --> 01:15:30,650
-Did you?
-Of course I did.

1112
01:15:31,485 --> 01:15:34,487
Next to you, I loved him
more than anybody in the world.

1113
01:15:34,655 --> 01:15:36,489

Here I am thinking only of myself
and forgetting all about you.

1116
01:15:45,416 --> 01:15:46,833
You liked him, too, didn't you?

1117
01:15:48,586 --> 01:15:50,879
I liked him very much.

1118
01:15:53,966 --> 01:15:55,300
The police were here.

1119
01:15:58,304 --> 01:15:59,304
What did they want?

1120
01:16:00,556 --> 01:16:02,807
They wanted you to help them.

1121
01:16:03,017 --> 01:16:04,893
They had a telegram from Paris

1122
01:16:05,061 --> 01:16:08,647
and it seems there was
an Englishman who made a bet--

1123
01:16:08,814 --> 01:16:12,192
Yes, I know.
The whole story was in the late edition.

1124
01:16:12,401 --> 01:16:13,401
What else?

1125
01:16:14,278 --> 01:16:16,905
The inspector wants you to phone them.

1126
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:20,992
He thought perhaps you could
help identify this Englishman.

1127
01:16:21,786 --> 01:16:22,786
Hmm.

1128
01:16:28,668 --> 01:16:31,461
What did you tell them?
Did you mention the corporation?

1129
01:16:32,213 --> 01:16:33,546
Naturally.

1130
01:16:34,048 --> 01:16:37,342
I told them that Beaky
was planning to dissolve it.

1133
01:16:42,139 --> 01:16:43,431
That's about all.

1134
01:16:43,599 --> 01:16:46,142
I said I was expecting you
back from London at any moment.

01:16:58,739 --> 01:17:02,075
Hello. Wickstead police station, please.

Yes.

1139
01:17:12,586 --> 01:17:15,005
Yes, well, I drove up to London with him
on Tuesday evening.

1140
01:17:15,172 --> 01:17:16,715
We dined at the Savoy.

1141
01:17:16,882 --> 01:17:18,967
No. Yes.

1142
01:17:19,135 --> 01:17:21,219
Then I saw him off at Croyden Airport.

1143
01:17:21,387 --> 01:17:22,470
Yes.

1144
01:17:23,264 --> 01:17:25,598
No. I stayed in London
until this afternoon.

1146
01:17:29,186 --> 01:17:30,228
Yes.

1147
01:17:31,897 --> 01:17:32,939
Yes.

1148
01:17:35,192 --> 01:17:36,526
Not at all, Inspector.

1149
01:17:36,694 --> 01:17:38,695
If I can help you in any other way,
be sure to let me know.

1150
01:18:01,052 --> 01:18:02,761
Isobel, may I come in?

1151
01:18:02,928 --> 01:18:05,388
Lina, how nice.
I was thinking only yesterday

1152
01:18:05,556 --> 01:18:07,599
that I don't see half as much of you
as I'd like.

1153
01:18:07,767 --> 01:18:09,017
How sweet of you.

1154
01:18:09,185 --> 01:18:11,728
I couldn't put my light out
until 3:00 this morning.

1155
01:18:11,896 --> 01:18:14,105
I was so interested in your last book that

1156
01:18:14,273 --> 01:18:15,940
I had to come over
and talk to you about it.

1157
01:18:16,108 --> 01:18:19,694
That's the most thrilling compliment
I ever got. Come and sit down.

1158
01:18:20,821 --> 01:18:22,781
-Had your tea?
-Yes, I have. Thank you.

1159
01:18:22,948 --> 01:18:25,283
I never knew you were
such a murder story fan.

1160
01:18:25,451 --> 01:18:27,243
Neither did I until recently.

1161
01:18:27,411 --> 01:18:29,871
-Did you really like it?
-I couldn't put it down.

1162
01:18:30,039 --> 01:18:32,457
I was completely fascinated
by the way your villain--

1163
01:18:32,625 --> 01:18:34,709
My villain? My hero, you mean.

1164
01:18:34,877 --> 01:18:37,128
I always think of my murderers
as my heroes.

1165
01:18:37,296 --> 01:18:40,799
But I didn't mean to interrupt. You were
saying you were completely fascinated.

1166
01:18:40,966 --> 01:18:44,135
When he enticed his victim
across the footbridge,

1167
01:18:44,303 --> 01:18:46,513
knowing that the bridge
had been sawn through--

1168
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:50,100
He also knew that his victim
couldn't swim. Don't forget that.

1169
01:18:50,559 --> 01:18:54,646
What I want to know is this.
Would you call that an actual murder?

1170
01:18:54,814 --> 01:18:58,066
From a moral standpoint,
there's no question at all.

1171
01:18:58,234 --> 01:18:59,609
It is murder.

1172
01:18:59,902 --> 01:19:01,277
I suppose it is.

1173
01:19:01,445 --> 01:19:02,779
What does Johnnie think?

1174
01:19:02,947 --> 01:19:05,323
Johnnie?
I haven't discussed it with him yet.

1175
01:19:05,491 --> 01:19:07,158
I should think he'd be interested.

1176
01:19:07,326 --> 01:19:10,245
The same situation
with this friend of his in Paris.

1177
01:19:11,122 --> 01:19:12,122
The same?

1178
01:19:12,289 --> 01:19:14,290
That brandy business
is just like my footbridge.

1179
01:19:14,458 --> 01:19:16,543
If they get his companion,
the question would be:

1180
01:19:16,710 --> 01:19:18,253
Was it murder or an accident?

1181
01:19:18,421 --> 01:19:20,380
The brandy thing isn't new at all,
you know.

1182
01:19:21,715 --> 01:19:24,801
-It's been done before?
-Yes, and in real life, too.

1183
01:19:24,969 --> 01:19:26,052
I have it here.

1184
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,264
Richard Palmer got rid of
one of his victims that way.

1185
01:19:29,432 --> 01:19:31,057
A man called Abbey.

1186
01:19:31,225 --> 01:19:32,350
Was he hanged?

1187
01:19:32,518 --> 01:19:36,980
Trial of Richard Palmer. Where can it be?

1188
01:19:37,148 --> 01:19:40,191
They got him eventually,
after he killed half a dozen other people.

1189
01:19:40,359 --> 01:19:42,902
The fool got bored with the brandy
method and went on with real poison.

1190
01:19:43,487 --> 01:19:46,197
-He was a fool, wasn't he?
-Maybe I put it under the "T's."

1191
01:19:46,699 --> 01:19:50,577
If he'd stuck to brandy, he might have...
That's an interesting idea.

1192
01:19:50,744 --> 01:19:52,745
Suppose I ask my brother about it.

1193
01:19:52,913 --> 01:19:56,666
He's the Home Office Analyst. Conducts
post-mortems and all that sort of thing.

1194
01:19:56,834 --> 01:19:58,168
I get some of my neatest ideas from him.

1195

It really doesn't matter, Isobel.
Please don't bother. It's not important.

1196

then somebody shoots him

That doesn't make sense.
Why would he do that?

Why would he lock the door
just to play the piano?

Was he ashamed of his playing?

01:29:25,777 --> 01:29:28,696
When you wouldn't let me unbutton
the top button of your blouse.

1312
01:29:28,864 --> 01:29:30,448
Do you remember?

1313
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:35,161
I shall never forget it.

1314
01:29:38,623 --> 01:29:41,542
Get undressed, old girl.
What are you waiting for?

1315
01:29:41,710 --> 01:29:46,130
Johnnie, I'm in a state tonight.
I don't know why. I'd like to be alone.

1316
01:29:46,298 --> 01:29:49,133
Would you mind sleeping
in your dressing room?

1317
01:29:51,970 --> 01:29:53,721
Of course I'd mind.

1318
01:29:56,475 --> 01:29:59,727
Please, Johnnie.
I haven't been sleeping very well lately.

1319
01:29:59,936 --> 01:30:01,437
I understand.

1320
01:30:01,646 --> 01:30:05,149
You used to sleep badly
when I wasn't here, and now you...

1321
01:30:06,526 --> 01:30:10,029
All right, if that's the way
you feel about it. Good night.

1322
01:30:37,182 --> 01:30:38,766
Feeling better?

1323
01:30:39,226 --> 01:30:40,810
Yes, thank you.

1324
01:30:42,687 --> 01:30:44,772
-Hello, Isobel.
-How are you, my dear?

1325
01:30:44,940 --> 01:30:46,315
All right.

1326
01:30:47,609 --> 01:30:50,194
I've been asleep all day, haven't I?

1327
01:30:50,821 --> 01:30:53,280
Isobel's brother gave you
a sleeping pill this morning.

1328
01:30:53,448 --> 01:30:55,658
Your nerves seemed to be all upset.

1329
01:30:56,284 --> 01:30:58,119
We were quite worried about you.

1330
01:30:58,286 --> 01:31:00,246
ISOBEL: Cheer up.
Bertram had a good look at you.

1331
01:31:00,413 --> 01:31:02,331
Although he doesn't usually
attend living people,

1332
01:31:02,541 --> 01:31:04,291
I must say he's a very able doctor.

1333
01:31:04,459 --> 01:31:06,293
He says all you needed was a little sleep.

1334
01:31:07,546 --> 01:31:09,880
I'll run down and tell Ethel
to fix something for your supper.

1335
01:31:15,387 --> 01:31:17,555
He's one in a million,
that Johnnie of yours.

1336
01:31:17,722 --> 01:31:18,722
Isn't he?

1337
01:31:18,890 --> 01:31:19,890
Do you mind if I smoke?

1338
01:31:20,892 --> 01:31:22,226
Have you been here all afternoon?

1339
01:31:22,394 --> 01:31:24,895
Naturally. Ever since Johnnie phoned.

1340
01:31:25,063 --> 01:31:26,647
I warn you. You'd better get well.

1341
01:31:26,815 --> 01:31:29,108
If you leave me alone much longer
with this husband of yours

1342
01:31:29,276 --> 01:31:30,693
my career will soon be over.

1343
01:31:31,361 --> 01:31:34,738
-He flirted with you, I suppose.
-Flirted? Worse than that.

1344
01:31:34,906 --> 01:31:37,324
He's worming all my secrets out of me.

1345
01:31:37,492 --> 01:31:40,661
I suspect him of writing
a detective story on the side.

1346
01:31:42,205 --> 01:31:43,664
What secrets?

1347
01:31:43,832 --> 01:31:45,749
He's always pestering me.

1348
01:31:45,917 --> 01:31:48,794
I always swear I won't tell him
and I always do.

1349
01:31:49,379 --> 01:31:51,088
Did you tell him anything today?

1350
01:31:51,256 --> 01:31:53,591
Did I? Bertram was furious.

1351
01:31:53,842 --> 01:31:55,426
Said he'd never confide in me again.

1352
01:31:56,094 --> 01:32:00,097
But honestly, have you ever been able
to deny Johnnie anything?

1353
01:32:01,099 --> 01:32:02,474
Never.

1354
01:32:03,185 --> 01:32:04,977
It was about that poison, wasn't it?

1355
01:32:05,145 --> 01:32:08,731
Don't remind me of it.
I'm ashamed, and mortified, and disgraced.

1356
01:32:08,899 --> 01:32:12,985
I'm just a fool, that's all. If he writes
a story on that one before I do...

1357
01:32:13,153 --> 01:32:14,945
I suppose I'll deserve it.

1358
01:32:15,113 --> 01:32:18,449
Imagine. A substance
in daily use everywhere.

1359
01:32:18,950 --> 01:32:20,784
Anyone can lay his hands on it.

1360
01:32:20,952 --> 01:32:25,080
And within a minute after taking,
the victim's beautifully out of the way.

1361
01:32:25,248 --> 01:32:28,250
Mind you, it's undetectable after death.

1362
01:32:30,086 --> 01:32:32,630
Is whatever it is painful?

1363
01:32:32,797 --> 01:32:34,256
Not in the least.

1364
01:32:34,424 --> 01:32:37,968
In fact, I should think
it would be a most pleasant death.

1365
01:33:52,043 --> 01:33:53,711
Good night, Lina.

1366
01:34:31,624 --> 01:34:34,126
JOHNNIE: You're still
annoyed with me, aren't you?

1367
01:34:34,294 --> 01:34:37,212
No, Johnnie, really.
I still don't feel well, that's all.

1368
01:34:37,380 --> 01:34:40,716
A few days at your mother's house
will do more good than staying at home.

1369
01:34:40,884 --> 01:34:44,178
It's not exactly that. Don't you
understand? Mother telephoned me and--

1370
01:34:44,346 --> 01:34:46,805
She got on that telephone
awfully early, it seems to me.

1371
01:34:46,973 --> 01:34:50,184
Mother gets up early,
and she's lonely down there.

1372
01:34:50,352 --> 01:34:52,603
I happened to mention I was a bit nervy

1373
01:34:52,771 --> 01:34:56,148
and before I knew it I'd agreed
to spend a few days with her.

1374
01:34:56,483 --> 01:34:58,776
All right.
I'll run down and get the car ready.

1375
01:34:58,943 --> 01:35:01,945
-Oh, no. I'll drive myself.
-I prefer to drive you.

1376
01:35:56,376 --> 01:35:58,168
(TIRES SCREECH)

1377
01:36:04,509 --> 01:36:06,718
I think I'll take the short cut.

1378
01:36:12,183 --> 01:36:13,183
LINA: Johnnie!

1379
01:36:13,351 --> 01:36:14,351
(SCREAMING)

1380
01:36:15,311 --> 01:36:17,354
Johnnie!

1381
01:36:18,857 --> 01:36:20,774
(LINA SCREAMING)

1382
01:36:22,527 --> 01:36:24,361
Lina, what's got into you?

1383
01:36:24,529 --> 01:36:28,532
Lina! Stop it, you little fool !

1384
01:36:28,700 --> 01:36:31,702
I've had enough ! How much do you think
a man can bear? Listen to me!

1385
01:36:31,870 --> 01:36:33,871
You throw me out of your room,
you go running off to your mother's

1386
01:36:34,164 --> 01:36:35,539
and now you're shrinking away from me
as though you hated me.

1387
01:36:35,707 --> 01:36:36,707
You're my wife, Lina.

1388
01:36:37,625 --> 01:36:39,126
You almost killed us both back there.

1389
01:36:39,294 --> 01:36:41,170
You had to pull away,
even when I was reaching over

1390
01:36:41,379 --> 01:36:42,629
to save you from falling out of the car.

1391
01:36:45,425 --> 01:36:47,843
You don't have to put up with me anymore.

1392
01:36:48,553 --> 01:36:50,762
Johnnie, where are you going?

1393
01:36:51,306 --> 01:36:54,391
-First, I'm taking you to your mother's.
-And then what?

1394
01:36:54,559 --> 01:36:56,894
Don't worry. I won't bother you again.

1395
01:36:58,438 --> 01:37:00,522
Johnnie, you mean you're going to...

1396
01:37:00,690 --> 01:37:03,942
Why were you asking Isobel
those questions about the poison?

1397
01:37:04,110 --> 01:37:05,235
What were you planning to do with it?

1398
01:37:06,070 --> 01:37:07,988
Johnnie, you were going to kill yourself.

1399
01:37:08,156 --> 01:37:10,282
My darling.

1400
01:37:10,533 --> 01:37:13,160
Yes, but I saw that was a cheap way out.

1401
01:37:13,328 --> 01:37:15,829
I'm going to see it through,
prison term and everything.

1402
01:37:15,997 --> 01:37:18,415
Prison? You mean Melbeck,
that money you took?

1403
01:37:18,583 --> 01:37:19,917
I can't pay it back.

1404
01:37:20,084 --> 01:37:22,753
I made the last attempt to raise the money
when I went away with Beaky.

1405
01:37:23,379 --> 01:37:25,255
-Paris?
-I went to Liverpool.

1406
01:37:25,423 --> 01:37:28,926
I tried to borrow on your insurance,
but it didn't work.

1407
01:37:29,177 --> 01:37:31,261
You were in Liverpool when Beaky--

1408
01:37:31,429 --> 01:37:33,597
Then you didn't go to Paris.

1409
01:37:33,765 --> 01:37:34,765
Of course not.

1410
01:37:34,933 --> 01:37:38,727
You think I'd have let some idiot
give poor old Beaky that brandy if I had?

1411
01:37:39,854 --> 01:37:41,855
Johnnie, if I'd only known.

1412
01:37:42,023 --> 01:37:43,649
This is as much my fault as yours.

1413
01:37:44,734 --> 01:37:48,070
I was only thinking of myself,
not what you were going through.

1414
01:37:48,238 --> 01:37:51,073
If I'd been really close to you,
you could've confided in me,

1415
01:37:51,241 --> 01:37:54,284
but you were afraid to.
You were ashamed to come to me.

1416
01:37:54,452 --> 01:37:56,370
Oh, if I'd only understood.

1417
01:37:57,455 --> 01:37:58,455
Oh, Johnnie.

1418
01:37:59,165 --> 01:38:01,625
But it will be different now.
We'll make it different.

1419
01:38:03,127 --> 01:38:04,670
People don't change overnight, Lina.

1420
01:38:04,837 --> 01:38:05,837
I'm no good.

1421
01:38:07,090 --> 01:38:10,592
Let's turn back. Let's go home
and see it all through together.

1422
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:13,345
No. It won't work.
I'm driving you on to your mother's.

1423
01:38:13,513 --> 01:38:15,973
It will work.
I know it will, Johnnie, please.

1424
01:38:16,975 --> 01:38:19,101
This isn't your problem, Lina.

1425
01:38:19,644 --> 01:38:21,645
But it is. You can't shut me out.

1426
01:38:21,813 --> 01:38:25,482
Turn the car around and let's go home.
Please, Johnnie. Please.

1427
01:38:26,192 --> 01:38:27,859
No, Lina. No.

1428
01:38:29,988 --> 01:38:31,488
My darling.

1429
01:38:32,782 --> 01:38:34,700
(ENGINE STARTS)
