Transcript

00:00I don't know.

00:30Stop, please!

00:45Come on, do it!

01:00They fear me, Hastings.

01:10The criminals, they fear Hercule Poirot so much

01:13that they have repented of their naughty ways

01:15and they've become citizens of the most upright.

01:18Oh, rubbish, Poirot.

01:20I say, look at that schooner.

01:24Rubbish, do you say, Hastings?

01:27Well, I don't imagine most of them

01:28have ever heard of Hercule Poirot.

01:32You strike a man while he is down, eh?

01:37I wish you were right.

01:40I wouldn't mind retiring early.

01:43Strikes me, they're getting even cleverer,

01:45our criminal friends.

01:47I had a case last week.

01:48You would have liked Poirot.

01:50At the moment, my dear inspector,

01:51I would like any case at all.

01:54Burlington Arcade, broad daylight.

01:55Fellow walks in, pulls a gun

01:57and helps himself to a handful of precious stones.

01:59My dear Jeff, that sounds quite ordinary.

02:01A good bit's still to come.

02:03Now, this robber hasn't gone five yards

02:06when he's seized by a couple of passing citizens

02:08and held until a constable arrives.

02:11Constable marches him off to the station.

02:13There's the stones in his pocket.

02:14Very good.

02:16Very public-spirited piece of work

02:18by the worthy passers-by.

02:20Except...

02:21Except at what, inspector?

02:25The stones in his pocket

02:27aren't the real stones.

02:29He's passed the real ones

02:30to a confederate,

02:31one of the aforementioned worthy citizens.

02:34I say.

02:35Not bad, eh?

02:36I hope he gets ten years.

02:39Yes, very good.

02:41Mais pas de finesse.

02:43Solo un doula d'as.

02:46But yes, it is not badly imagined.

02:48You know, Hastings,

02:54sometimes I wish

02:55that I was not of such a moral disposition.

02:58Really?

02:58Would not Hercule Poirot do better than any criminal?

03:02Hercule Poirot would use his gross cells, eh?

03:04Hercule Poirot would change his modus operandi

03:07for every crime.

03:08Scotland Yard would never be able to pin me down.

03:12Ah, Hastings, Hastings.

03:15To work against the law for a change.

03:17I think it would be quite pleasing.

03:22Imagine it.

03:23Every morning, a new crime, eh?

03:26Every morning, Inspector Japp, tearing the hair.

03:30And on every street corner,

03:32the cries of the newspaper sellers.

03:35Read all about it!

03:38Monsieur Big reveals everything!

03:41Yes, Miss Lemon.

03:42A lady came to see you, Mr Poirot.

03:44Ah, bon.

03:45What sort of lady, Miss Lemon?

03:47Well, exactly, Captain Hastings.

03:49It was hard to tell.

03:51You couldn't see her face for the veil she was wearing.

03:54Where is she now, Miss Lemon?

03:56She said she had a matter of the utmost importance

03:58to consult you about.

04:00And would you go to see her at the Athena Hotel?

04:01And what does she call herself?

04:05She wouldn't leave a name.

04:07Room number at the hotel?

04:08She wouldn't leave a number.

04:10Yeah.

04:11Is it any wonder that my business,

04:12it is crumbling about my eyes?

04:15Yes, sir.

04:16Absolutely.

04:17Very good.

04:18Good afternoon, sir.

04:19Boy!

04:19Yes, sir.

04:21Yes, sir.

04:22Yes, sir.

04:23You'll be finished with me.

04:24Thanks.

04:25Thanks.

04:26Thanks, sir.

04:27Thanks, sir.

04:28Thanks, sir.

04:29Thanks, sir.

04:30Thanks, sir.

05:00Warren, I'm sorry I couldn't stay at your office,

05:04but I think I'm being watched, you see.

05:09Watched, mademoiselle?

05:11I can hardly believe that anyone can help me,

05:14but I've heard such wonderful things about you.

05:18Perhaps you can do the impossible.

05:22The impossible, it pleases me always.

05:24Allow me to introduce my associate, Captain Hastings.

05:27How do you do?

05:30Continue, I beg of you.

05:33You have heard of Lady Millicent, Castle Vaughan?

05:37The Earl of Killarney's daughter.

05:38I am Lady Millicent.

05:40I am Lady Millicent.

05:41Oh, I say.

05:45You may have read of my engagement to the Duke of Southshire.

05:48Yes, indeed.

05:49They say it'll be the wedding of the year.

05:51I did not know that you were such an expert on the social calendar, Hastings.

05:54It's too public here.

06:24I shall trust you.

06:44Why were you so kind?

06:47There is a man, a horrible man,

06:54his name is Lavington.

07:00There was a letter I wrote.

07:03I was only 16 at the time.

07:05A letter that you wrote to this Monsieur Lavington?

07:07Oh, no.

07:08To a young man.

07:10He was going on an expedition up the Orinoco.

07:13He never came back.

07:15Rotten luck.

07:17I was very fond of him.

07:19I understand.

07:20It was a foolish letter.

07:22An indiscreet letter, but nothing more.

07:26But there were phrases in it which might bear a different interpretation.

07:33I see.

07:34So it is this letter that has come into the hands of Monsieur Lavington?

07:37Yes.

07:39And he threatens to send it to my fiancée unless I send him an enormous amount of money.

07:44Dirty swine.

07:47I beg your pardon, Lady Millicent.

07:50How much is he asking?

07:53£20,000.

07:56It's impossible.

07:57I doubt if I could raise a thousand even.

08:00And you have seen this letter?

08:03Yes.

08:03I went to his house in Wimbledon.

08:06He held it out for me to see.

08:08I tried to snatch it, but he was too quick for me.

08:12So where is it now?

08:14He folded it up and put it in a little wooden box.

08:18A Chinese puzzle box, he called it.

08:21It'll be safe in there, he said.

08:24And the box itself is hidden in such a clever place that you will never find it.

08:33It is repugnant to me that you should pay to this man even one penny.

08:37Hear, hear.

08:39The ingenuity of Hercule Poirot shall defeat your enemies.

08:44Yes.

08:45Please be so kind as to send to me this Monsieur Lavington.

08:51I don't see why this Lavington fellow should give up the letter just because we ask him to.

09:02What a stunning girl, though.

09:04I sometimes think when I mean that you are too easily stunned.

09:10Thank you, sir.

09:12Whitehaven mansions, please, driver.

09:21This is interesting, Poirot.

09:34Englishman mysteriously done to death in Holland.

09:38Always they say that Hastings,

09:41later they find that he has eaten the tinned fish

09:44and that his death is perfectly natural.

09:46Oh, if you're determined to look on the black side.

09:51He won't come now, will he, Mr. Poirot?

09:53Well, perhaps he is frightened of our same Miss Lemon.

09:57I'll stay, if you like.

09:59No, no, no, thank you.

10:00But Captain Hastings and I will manage.

10:05Well, good night, Mr. Poirot.

10:07Good night.

10:07Good night, Captain Hastings.

10:09Good night, Miss Lemon.

10:11I hope you have a pleasant evening.

10:26It's him.

10:27It's him.

10:28Sure, it's him.

10:29Calm yourself, Miss Lemon.

10:30It is only the simple blackmailer.

10:32There's something nasty about blackmail, Mr. Poirot.

10:35You have nothing to fear of that, I am sure.

10:38Now, please be so kind as to let in, Mr. Levington.

10:40As you go.

10:56Mr. Levington, to see you.

11:07Well, well, well.

11:09So this is the famous Hercule Poirot, is it?

11:15It is, monsieur.

11:18Hmm.

11:24The Castle Vaughan girl said that you wanted to talk to me.

11:28Don't you think I'm going to change my mind?

11:30Perhaps she does.

11:31She must think that I'm an idiot, then.

11:35Perhaps you are.

11:38Try me.

11:39Very well.

11:42Lady Millicent does not have 20,000 pounds or anything like it.

11:46Really?

11:47Just because she's got a title doesn't mean she's rich.

11:50Oh, I'm sure some of her gentleman friends would be willing enough to oblige such a pretty woman with a loan.

11:57Particularly if she went the right way about it.

11:59What?

12:00You swine!

12:02Hastings, please.

12:03I say, what an excitable office boy you have.

12:14Lady Millicent might raise with difficulty the sum of 5,000 pounds.

12:175,000 pounds.

12:185,000 pounds.

12:19You will have your little joke, won't you?

12:23Hercule Poirot does not joke, monsieur.

12:30Well, gentlemen, we don't seem to be getting much further.

12:35I have something for sale.

12:38Either I get my price or I don't.

12:41There's no room for bargaining.

12:43It would appear, monsieur Levington, that you are quite experienced in these matters, huh?

12:54Oh, all right.

12:58I'll let the lady Millicent off cheaply, as she's such a charming girl.

13:03Go on.

13:05We'll say 18,000.

13:07That is not so cheap.

13:08Take it or leave it.

13:10I'm off to Paris today.

13:14I shall be back on Tuesday.

13:17Unless 18,000 is paid by Tuesday evening.

13:20The Duke gets the letter.

13:31A tout à l'heure, monsieur.

13:40Hastings?

13:56Hastings?

14:02Hastings?

14:10Hastings?

14:11Hastings?

14:12I've lost him.

14:37Monsieur Lovington?

14:38He got into a cab.

14:41What did you want him for?

14:42I was going to follow him, find out where he lived.

14:44We know where he lives.

14:46I don't.

14:47Yes, Lady Millicent has already told us. He lives at Wimbledon.

14:49Oh, yes. Wimbledon's a pretty big place, you know.

14:52I had an aunt who lived in Wimbledon.

14:54I ain't an uncle, actually. I used to go and stay there sometimes.

14:57Buena Vista, Cedars Avenue.

15:00Oh, I see.

15:03It is a volume packed with useful information, Hastings.

15:06You never think of looking for people's addresses in the telephone directory, though, do you?

15:10Yes, Hastings, I do.

15:16Why did you wish to know where Monsieur Lovington lives, Hastings?

15:19I don't know. He was so beastly, the way he talked about Lady Millicent.

15:23I wanted to kick him down the stairs.

15:25Ah.

15:26You wanted to do it in the comfort of his own home, yes?

15:29What?

15:30Well, no.

15:32I don't know.

15:33Something's got to be done.

15:35Something is going to be done, Hastings.

15:38You're going to his house.

15:55You're going to his house while he's in Paris.

15:58And you're going to burgle it.

16:08What did he say?

16:11Or a little gold quartet will be through His own house with my own husband.

16:13Of course.

16:14What?

16:16I'm walking for a park just for sure for your friends.

16:24I did a reason why they were singinginhos and keep going back every day.

16:27Oh, my God.

16:57Oh, my God.

17:27Round the side.

17:29You're not selling onions, are you?

17:31Pardon?

17:32Your people come over here doing that a lot.

17:36Monsieur Lavington came to see me.

17:38He sees a good many people.

17:40I'm not responsible for all that.

17:42I'm only the housekeeper.

17:43And I am the locksmith.

17:48I specialize in burglar-proof locks.

17:51Well, he didn't say anything to me about it.

17:55But I can't say I'm surprised at the way things are around here.

18:02You'd better come in.

18:05Wipe your feet.

18:15Hasn't been the same around here since they started the tennis up the road.

18:20You get all these riffraff come to watch.

18:22Oh, very alarm.

18:23I'm to hear them speak.

18:25But you're not safe in your own home, are you?

18:26Look at all these people asking directions.

18:29Wanting cafes.

18:31I don't know where they think they are.

18:32You did know, madame.

18:33It's been beyond all since that Fred Perry one again this year.

18:39Now, Monsieur Lavington was most eager that I should fix these special locks whilst he was in Paris.

18:44Oh, that's where he is, is it?

18:47I can't keep up with him.

18:49Well, you get on with it, then.

18:53Madame, Monsieur Lavington admitted to tell me your name.

18:57You are called Madame...

18:58Godfrey.

19:02Charming.

19:03How come you're being a locksmith here when you're French?

19:18Because I am not French, madame.

19:20No?

19:21No.

19:22Where are you from, then?

19:24Madame Godwell, tell me, what is the country that is very full of the mountains and divided into cantons?

19:33You're never Chinese.

19:36No, no, madame.

19:38Switzerland.

19:39A country famous for its watches, its clocks and its locks.

19:44I've heard about the watches.

19:46My late husband had one.

19:48God rest his soul.

19:50Never did him much good.

19:54Well, I can't stand here talking.

19:56I've got to get my work done.

19:58Get home to Streatham.

19:59Ah, I was under the impression that you lived in, madame.

20:02Oh, no, I certainly don't.

20:05I'm finished here at six.

20:07Don't matter what.

20:08Chosep.

20:09Oh.

20:10Chosep.

20:11Chosep.

20:11Let's go.

20:41I shall be back at the same time tomorrow, madam.

20:57And until then, please don't let anyone touch the windows.

21:01They are connected up already.

21:03Connected up?

21:04To the electricity.

21:06I can't see any wires.

21:09Naturally.

21:11I can't see them anymore.

21:41Hastings, use stealth and policemen patrol us every 17 minutes.

22:11Do not put on the lights, the neighbors will see.

22:41Do not put on the lights, the lights will see.

23:11Do not put on the lights, the lights will see.

23:29Shh, shh, shh, shh.

23:31Anything?

23:32No.

23:33Me neither.

23:59No, no, no, no, no.

24:21No.

24:24I've searched everywhere. I even took the fruit out of the fruit bowl.

24:35These things let us be calm. Let us reason. Let us, enfin, let us employ the little grey cells.

24:54I am an imbecile. The kitchen.

25:14The kitchen? That's impossible. What about the servants? They'd be bound to come across it.

25:20Exactly. That is just what 99 people out of 100 would say.

25:26And for that very reason, the kitchen is the ideal place to choose.

25:32One of all.

25:50The kitchen.

25:55The kitchen.

26:00The kitchen.

26:07The kitchen.

26:43He can't have buried it under the coal.

27:01If you will use your eyes, Hastings, you will see that it is not the coal that I examine.

27:13What is that?

27:18What is that?

27:20Direct your light for me, Hastings.

27:27And your knife, if you please.

27:33Ah!

27:34Well done!

27:40Shh, shh, shh.

27:41Gently read the voice.

27:43What an extraordinary place.

27:47Anyone might have used the logs.

27:49In July.

27:50And it was hidden at the bottom of the pile, a very ingenious hiding place.

27:56You know, I think this will be quite a tease to open.

28:03You know, I think this will be quite a tease to open.

28:20I think this will be quite a tease to open.

28:21I think this will be quite a tease to open.

28:27All right, boys.

28:28The game's up.

28:29I want you to come quietly now.

28:50Officer.

28:51I want to explain.

28:52My friend and I are here at the request of your letter.

28:57It's him.

28:58He's the main one.

28:59Never mind about the other one.

29:00Madame Godwell.

29:01It makes you shiver when they use your own name, doesn't it?

29:03I knew it would be him pretending to talk in that silly accent.

29:06All right, my lad, you're coming down the station.

29:07He's obviously...

29:08Try to tell me some cock and bull story about being Chinese.

29:10Madame.

29:11Don't you, Madame, me, you tyke.

29:13Casing the joint.

29:14That's what he was doing.

29:15I fooled him though.

29:16Told him I didn't live here.

29:17I didn't live here.

29:18Oh, it's him.

29:19It's him.

29:20He's the main one.

29:21Never mind about the other one.

29:22Madame Godwell.

29:23It makes you shiver when they use your own name, doesn't it?

29:24I knew it would be him.

29:25Pretending to talk in that silly accent.

29:26All right, my lad, you're coming down the station.

29:27He's obviously...

29:28Try to tell me some cock and bull story about being Chinese.

29:30Madame.

29:31the joint. That's what he was doing.

29:34I fooled him, though. Told him

29:35I didn't live here. I was suspicious right

29:37from the start, you see. Look at his eyes.

29:40Look at his

29:41shifty little eyes.

29:43Oh, you can always tell, can't you?

29:46Come on, Sonny, Jim. It's down

29:47the lock-up for you.

30:01Morning, sir. Morning.

30:26Vicious-looking character, isn't he?

30:35He hasn't been any trouble.

30:38No, he's too clever for that.

30:41We wanted to get our hands on him for months.

30:44Apart from not giving a name.

30:47What is his name?

30:49This is not funny, Jim.

30:51Well, nobody knows his real name.

30:53But everyone

30:55calls him Mad Dog.

30:57Mad Dog, eh?

31:01One fancy ring.

31:04One pair of pinched

31:05spectacles.

31:06One... What is that?

31:10That

31:11is my moustache comb.

31:13Moustache comb? Yes.

31:15You didn't tell me it was one of your

31:16unnatural, sir. Just give him his things.

31:19What I don't understand

31:23is how you got to Lavington's house

31:24so quick, Poirot.

31:26I only heard myself last night.

31:28Heard what, Inspector?

31:30About Lavington being murdered

31:31in Amsterdam.

31:33Murdered?

31:34When?

31:35When?

31:36Last week, of course.

31:38Last week?

31:39Last Tuesday.

31:39But you knew that.

31:41Yes.

31:43Yes, of course.

31:44Well,

32:13yes.

32:13Good morning, Hastings.

32:32You are well, yes?

32:33This is impossible, you know.

32:35I am glad to see you looking so rested this morning, Hastings.

32:38And what a turn of speed you displayed last night.

32:41What agility to jump through the window, eh?

32:44And to leave your poor old friend Poirot in the soup.

32:47Well, if I hadn't managed to escape and get Jap to come and bail you out,

32:49you would have been up in front of Wimbledon Beak this morning.

32:52Housebreaking, at the very least.

32:55I didn't have a very good night anyway, as a matter of fact.

32:57I couldn't sleep a wink trying to get this thing open.

32:59My heart goes out to you, Hastings.

33:02I don't think it's a box at all.

33:04I think it's a solid block of wood.

33:06Really?

33:07I'm usually pretty good at anything mechanical.

33:10You try.

33:11I think we should take a hammer to it.

33:21A moment, mon ami.

33:24Hmm.

33:26Perhaps poor old Poirot can do it.

33:33Ah!

33:34Oh, yes, it's a charmant.

33:47Is that it?

33:47Lady Millicent's letter.

33:50Well, you're not going to read it.

33:52Well, how will I be able to tell you if it is the letter of Lady Millicent, Hastings, if I do not read it?

33:56First burglary.

33:57First burglary, now this.

34:00Ah, oui, c'est charmant.

34:03It's her, Lady Millicent.

34:04She wants to see you.

34:06Well, at her hotel in one hour.

34:12She says the hotel isn't safe.

34:13Well, well, then.

34:21A strange circumstance has arisen which will amuse you, I think, Hastings.

34:26Oh, really?

34:27Mr. Levington?

34:29He's dead.

34:30Good heavens.

34:31Yes, in fact, he was already dead when he came to see us on Friday.

34:35Already dead when he...

34:37He was your Englishman mysteriously done to death in Holland.

34:42Done to death in Holland?

34:44Well, how did he get to London?

34:46Must have been someone else.

34:48Good, Hastings.

34:49Yes, very good.

34:50Oh, Monsieur Poirot, how wonderful.

35:11How did you do it?

35:12By the methods rather reprehensible, I'm afraid, my lady.

35:16Oh, dear.

35:16In an operation very difficult and dangerous, Captain Hastings was particularly valorous.

35:21Oh.

35:21But I'm sure Monsieur Levington will not prosecute.

35:24Oh, how can I ever thank you both?

35:28Where was it hidden?

35:30In the Chinese box, just as you said.

35:32And the Chinese box was hidden inside a fire log.

35:34And you found it.

35:36Oh, you are both wonderful, wonderful men.

35:43Where is it now?

35:44Come on.

35:45The Chinese box.

35:47Where is it now?

35:49The box?

35:50Mm-hmm.

35:52I don't know.

35:57You don't know?

35:59One could hardly lose a thing like that, surely.

36:06Hastings, whatever did we do with that box?

36:10Didn't you throw it away?

36:11Oh, surely not.

36:13It was such a beautiful little box.

36:15No, I remember now.

36:16You put it in your pocket.

36:19Right, look.

36:21Ah.

36:22Voila.

36:25Oh, there it is.

36:28Isn't it lovely?

36:30Well, it looks pretty ordinary to me.

36:31You can buy them for tuppence in Limehouse.

36:33Oh, no.

36:34Oh, I would dearly love to keep it as a souvenir to remind me of such a very clever French gentleman.

36:43Belgian.

36:44How quaint.

36:45And I had hoped that you would permit me to keep it, to remind me of a very beautiful English lady.

36:56Oh, but I shall give you a much better souvenir than that on my wedding day.

37:01You shall not find me ungrateful, Monsieur Poirot.

37:06And I have far more pleasure, my lady, in serving you than to receive the money check.

37:13You must permit that I retain the box.

37:22But, Monsieur Poirot, you don't understand.

37:25I simply must have it.

37:26I think not.

37:29What do you mean?

37:34Inside this box is a cavity.

37:37This cavity is divided into two halves.

37:40Please to observe.

37:43In the one half,

37:45with the compromising letter.

37:51And in the other...

37:59If I mistake not.

38:01The jewel's from the necklace stolen in the Burlington Arcade robbery.

38:05Precisely.

38:07Oh, no.

38:09Hello, Gertie.

38:11Oh, gold nabbed.

38:14You'd know each other.

38:19Gertie runs the best tomfoolery gang in the country.

38:22Tomfoolery?

38:23Jewelry.

38:25Does he know everything?

38:28No.

38:28Why don't you go and get yourself mixed up with this Lavington, Gertie?

38:33That's what I can't make out.

38:35Me neither.

38:36Nasty bit of work he was.

38:38Blackmailer and all sorts.

38:39Don't I know it?

38:41He done the dirty on us.

38:43But it was him who gave me the idea about the job in the first place.

38:46He found out about the jewelers from one of them poor devils he was blackmailing.

38:50And he rode himself in.

38:51That's right.

38:52He persuaded me to let him be the civilian who grabbed old the shiner.

38:55And this shiner handed the tomfoolery over to Lavington.

39:00That's right.

39:02Lavington agreed to meet us in his house in Wimbledon.

39:06But he didn't show up, did he?

39:08Dirty crook.

39:09And I didn't know where he did in the tom either.

39:12But he showed me before where he put the letter.

39:15And so I guess perhaps he might have hidden a jewellery in the same place.

39:20And so, my dear Mademoiselle,

39:23you decided to call in Hercule Poirot to do your searching for you, huh?

39:27Well, I told you it was good.

39:31So you put the fix on Lavington,

39:33and then your people followed him to Holland,

39:35and that's where they killed him, eh?

39:38All right, you.

39:39Sorry.

39:39So you will be, my lad.

39:40They've got reason to believe you've got stolen museum exhibits concealed about your person.

39:44What?

39:44Quick, she's getting away.

39:48It's a prestige, it's all right.

39:50You got the box?

39:51Never mind the box, I've got the tom, come on.

39:54Look at the warrant card.

39:56Ah, we know, you're armed.

39:57He's not armed.

39:58Look at it.

40:01Oh.

40:04We wasn't there now, was we?

40:10It's Lavington.

40:12Never.

40:13That's Joey Weatherly.

40:15Gertie got him to impersonate Lavington

40:17after the real Lavington was killed in Holland.

40:19Right.

40:20Weatherly?

40:45Weatherly?

40:46Shhh.

41:16Here, Joey, I've just found one of your relations.

41:46You're not going to get away, you know, Joey.

42:10Come on, Gertie, give yourself up.

42:13You're in with bad company here.

42:16They're in here somewhere, Poirot.

42:28It is a waiting game, I think, mon ami.

42:31Not my way of doing things.

42:34I'm going to have every one of these dust covers off.

42:37Well, the museum will not be delighted, I think.

42:40I don't care about that.

42:43Benson, Ted Marsh!

42:44I don't care about it.

43:03Ah!

43:03I don't know.

43:33I don't know.

43:34They're here!

43:35Good.

43:36Joey!

43:37Go on!

43:38All right, Joey.

43:39Come quietly.

43:40Give yourself up, Weatherly.

43:41No, on your life, Mr. Jack.

43:50Come on, Gertie.

44:04Hand them over.

44:06Oh, my God.

44:52Sit here, Hastings.

45:09Now, I hope that you will not again wound my feelings by saying that I am unknown to the criminal classes.

45:16I didn't mean that exactly.

45:18That's why they even employ me themselves when they do not know which way to turn.

45:21What do you think?

45:22Well, I think that we have made a good choice, Hastings.

45:28Not bad, eh?

45:29Poirot?

45:30Hastings?

45:32I thought she'd never stop talking.

45:35What do you think?

45:36It's a beauty.

45:38I thought you were going to get the smaller one.

45:40Oh, I'd feel silly with the small one.

45:43Are you going to try it out now?

45:44Well, Captain Hastings has not brought it here for the good of his health.

45:57Do you ever think of going to sea, Poirot?

46:00No, no, my friend.

46:01This is as close as I'd like to get.

46:05I used to dream about the sea.

46:07I used to dream about the sea.

46:10No, I have no idea.

46:12Come on, thanks.

46:14Bye.

46:16You
