03:34if his cheques are being refused what can it mean except... it means my dear silly
03:45woman he spent your thousand pounds he's getting into the reddities bank

14:37Daddy said you were staying at the Royal.

14:46Left under a bit of a cloud, actually.
14:48Money?
14:49Oh, no, nothing serious like that.
14:52Just a lady.
14:55I had heard you've got some girl with you.
14:57Now, please, don't you be angry with me, Pam.
14:59It's none of my business what you do, Ralph, is it?
15:02You know, sometimes I wish it was.
15:04Do you know that?
15:07You don't mean that, do you?
15:09How do you know what I mean?
15:11Lovely bus.
15:13Where's yours?
15:15In the garage.
15:1620 quid to get it out.
15:17You're broke?
15:18For 20 pounds?
15:20Three half-crans.
15:22In the world?
15:22In the world.
15:24Ralph, what am I going to do with you?
15:26Daddy, you look terrible.
15:48Where have you been?
15:48Oh, I was, er...
15:50Important business-making.
15:52Out of town.
15:53Turned on rather late.
15:58You remember Ralph, Daddy?
15:59Mm-hmm.
16:03He's looking for his old job back.
16:06And you've no idea where he can be?
16:08Wish I did.
16:09The rotten bastard.
16:11Leaving me to face all that.
16:13Yes, yes, it was rather nasty in there.
16:14They took my address.
16:16Still, can't get blood out of the stone.
16:19When I think of what I did for him,
16:21he never even left me the cab fare.
16:24Gorse never mentioned anybody he might go to
16:28if things were bad, huh?
16:29Ralph Gorse never tells anybody anything.
16:31No.
16:33Well, good luck.
16:35I'm going to need him.
16:36Hey, I say,
16:37you couldn't spare us a quid, could you?
16:39I've got to get to London somehow.
16:43I can manage five shillings
16:44if you'll help me.
16:46Oh.
16:47If you ever hear of Ralph Gorse
16:50or any of his whereabouts,
16:52telephone that number.
16:53Oh, I will, I will.
16:54Thanks, mister.
17:05Thanks.
17:06I've sacked you, remember?
17:14Yes, I want five quid basic
17:16plus commission on top.
17:18Are you mad?
17:19You're on commission only.
17:20This is different, isn't it?
17:22Very different.
17:23Oh.
17:24I need this job.
17:26And if I have to be unpleasant,
17:27believe you me,
17:28I will be.
17:29In what way?
17:30May I ask?
17:32You spent last night
17:33at the Hotel Royal
17:34with your wife,
17:35Mr. Bennet.
17:37It's in the hotel register.
17:39Mr. and Mrs.
17:41Oh, and I've got some
17:42very nice snaps of Mrs. Bennet.
17:45Yes.
17:45I'm sure she'd like to see them.
17:50I told you.
17:51I need the job.
18:01I'm glad your firm
18:02got the contract
18:03for the new estate.
18:05I'm glad you're glad, Joan.
18:07Oh, I mean,
18:07you've worked so hard for it.
18:09Hmm.
18:13Donald, don't sit there
18:14like a bear with a sore head,
18:15please.
18:17Mary, would you give
18:17Mr. Stimpson some more coffee?
18:19I don't want any more coffee.
18:21I can't sleep
18:21if I drink the stuff.
18:23No, I said no, gal!
18:24Sorry, sir, I'm sure...
18:25Mary, take the dishes
18:26into the kitchen.
18:27I'll ring if I need anything.
18:28Yes, ma'am.
18:32Oh, really, that girl.
18:49If she...
18:49If she wasn't so cheap,
18:51you'd fire her.
18:52Well, I would.
18:53As you know,
18:56I'm in somewhat
18:56reduced circumstances.
18:58Since you let
18:59Ralph Gorse
19:00go the whole hog.
19:04Donald,
19:04what a thing to say.
19:06Why not?
19:07It's true.
19:09It is not true,
19:10Donald Stimpson,
19:11and you know
19:11it isn't true.
19:13I...
19:13I'd never do
19:15a thing like that.
19:16If he's years
19:17and years younger
19:17than me.
19:18Well, I think,
19:19maybe not years...
19:20Oh, Joan, Joan, Joan,
19:21you're a silly woman.
19:22I don't know
19:23whatever I saw in you.
19:24Donald, please,
19:25not so loud.
19:26Oh, it's all right
19:27if I say it softly.
19:28That stops it being true,
19:30does it?
19:30It is not true.
19:32You know it isn't true.
19:34I swear it.
19:35You do?
19:36Yes, I do.
19:38Hmm.
19:41Oh, let me get
19:42your brandy.
19:45It'll make me sleep.
19:46Not like some people
19:49with no consciences.
19:58What is it
19:59that's keeping you awake,
20:00dear?
20:05The thought of having
20:06Ralph Ernest Gorse
20:07at my mercy
20:09in the palm of my hand
20:12like that.
20:14Oh, Lord, you...
20:15You've cut yourself.
20:18So I have.
20:19So I have.
20:23Haven't I?
20:34It's not much of a place
20:35to ask a girl to,
20:36but it's all I've got,
20:36I'm afraid.
20:37I don't mind.
20:38I just wish we had
20:38something a bit nicer.
20:40Really, I don't mind.
20:42The only thing that worries me
20:43is your landlady.
20:44I have a feeling
20:45she knows who I am.
20:46I have been here
20:47pretty often.
20:48Well, that'd be a big worry.
20:51If she talked.
20:53Well, it would be
20:53if Daddy found out.
20:54Well, he won't, will he?
20:55I mean, I won't tell him
20:56if you don't.
20:58Ralph, you scare me sometimes.
21:01You don't seem to care
21:02about anything or anybody.
21:04Maybe I don't.
21:05Not even me?
21:06Sometimes, when we make love,
21:14I...
21:14You can be very violent,
21:18Ralph, sometimes.
21:21Can I?
21:23I love you, Ralph.
21:26I always have.
21:28Ever since the first day
21:29I saw you.
21:30I died when you left.
21:31I never thought
21:32I'd see you again.
21:33Well, here I am,
21:33so stop worrying.
21:43Daddy might sack you, Ralph.
21:44No, no, you won't.
21:45Well, how can you be so sure?
21:46Ralph, how are you for money?
21:54How do you think?
22:06Here.
22:07You can at least get your car
22:08out of the garage.
22:12I'll pay you back.
22:13I don't care.
22:16I'd do anything for you, Ralph.
22:46Oh, hello, Mummy.
22:55I thought you'd be in bed.
22:57Well, it is half past eleven.
22:59Sit down a minute, dear.
23:02Well, I rather wanted a word, Pamela.
23:04Oh, what about?
23:05I think you know.
23:08Well, I'm a bit tired.
23:09Can't it wait?
23:10And I expect Daddy
23:11will come bursting in any minute now.
23:13No, he won't.
23:14He's at the club
23:14and it's poker night tonight
23:16so he'll be two o'clockish
23:17if I know him.
23:18I'm with a bad head
23:19in the morning.
23:20Oh, sit down, darling.
23:22Please.
23:24Oh, well, all right.
23:25Would you like a cigarette?
23:26Or drink?
23:27Oh, no, thanks.
23:28I'm fine.
23:33Ralph Gorse.
23:34You're seeing him, aren't you?
23:38That's my business, Mummy.
23:39Oh, I'm not criticising.
23:40Well, not exactly.
23:42He is very attractive.
23:43I can see that, but...
23:44So what's the problem, then?
23:47The problem, darling,
23:49is that he has no money.
23:51No probability of ever having any.
23:53And you are the daughter
23:54of a comparatively rich man.
23:56I don't want Daddy's money.
23:58You won't get it.
23:59Not if you tie yourself up
24:01in any way with Ralph Gorse.
24:02Yes.
24:04Mummy, I'd rather you
24:05didn't say any more.
24:10You've seen Ralph tonight,
24:11haven't you?
24:13You've been spying on me.
24:15Oh, darling,
24:16anyone with eyes in their head
24:17can see that your lipstick
24:18is fresh.
24:19Your clothes are
24:20rather crumpled.
24:22Need I go on?
24:23Oh, my dear,
24:24I was a girl myself once.
24:25I'm not a girl.
24:26I'm 24.
24:28Yes, I know
24:29how old you are.
24:30The point is,
24:32whether you like it or not,
24:34your father dislikes Ralph
24:35very much indeed.
24:36And sooner or later,
24:37for one reason or another,
24:39he'll sack him.
24:39Take my word for it.
24:41I don't know why Daddy
24:42dislikes Ralph so much.
24:43He works hard.
24:45He sells cars.
24:47Well, anyway,
24:47as often as anyone else does,
24:48including Daddy.
24:49Yes, well,
24:50that might not endear him
24:51to your father.
24:51I don't see why not.
24:53Darling,
24:54don't you know anything
24:55about men?
24:57I know that
24:58when I meet someone
24:59I like
25:00and who likes me,
25:01and I haven't met many
25:02who do, have I,
25:04I'm going to do nothing
25:05to drive them away.
25:06Not for you,
25:08not for Daddy,
25:08and particularly
25:09not for Daddy's money.
25:12Bravely said.
25:13but
25:20I have a feeling
25:22that Ralph Gorse
25:24might not be quite
25:25so interested in you
25:26if you had absolutely
25:27no money at all.
25:31That's a foul thing to say.
25:34Absolutely foul.
25:35Darling, it's fact.
25:38When I married your father,
25:40he had a lot of ideas
25:41but no capital.
25:42Well, I lent him
25:43that capital.
25:44Well, perhaps I should
25:45lend Ralph some money
25:46if I had any,
25:47which I don't.
25:48All I'm saying is
25:49if you can't
25:51resist
25:52Ralph Gorse,
25:54at least
25:54don't go into
25:55deep water with him.
25:58Are you following
25:59what I'm saying?
25:59No.
26:00And I'm not trying to either.
26:02I don't want to talk
26:03about this subject.
26:04Your father
26:05will find out
26:06sooner or later.
26:08He won't
26:08if you don't tell him.
26:10One thing I do know
26:12Ralph loves me.
26:14Nobody else ever has.
26:16Not you,
26:16not Daddy,
26:17nobody.
26:18Just think,
26:19Pamela.
26:20It's all I'm saying.
26:22Think.
26:23About what?
26:25Ralph loves me.
26:27I trust him
26:28and he trusts me.
26:29There's nothing more to say.
26:31Good night,
26:33Mummy.
26:33Oh, Ralph.
26:54You scared me to death.
26:55You know how I hate
26:56your silly games.
26:57Do you?
26:58I'm not here.
26:59Daddy will see us.
27:00He's with a client.
27:07Do call by,
27:08Sir Robert.
27:09Any time.
27:16Always try to help.
27:17Well, I stick with
27:18the old dame,
27:19you know.
27:20Oh, for business,
27:21naturally.
27:22I say,
27:23what's this?
27:23Oh,
27:24thank you.
27:29Near me,
27:29swaddled.
27:31First on the coast.
27:32Really?
27:33Yes,
27:33the ultimate sports car,
27:35sir.
27:36Yeah,
27:36wonderful machine.
27:36Do you realize
27:37this car is capable
27:38of 97 miles an hour?
27:39Ah,
27:40yes,
27:40well,
27:40it's a young man's car,
27:41but I agree with you,
27:42it's a very fine-looking machine.
27:43Yeah,
27:43I think a young man
27:43would like to drive for,
27:44sir,
27:44but only a mature man
27:46could drive.
27:47Oh,
27:48yes,
27:48you have a very
27:49persuasive salesman here,
27:50for a minute.
27:51Yes,
27:52very.
27:54Well,
27:54if I were,
27:55if I were 15 years younger,
27:58Mr.
27:59Gorse,
27:59sir,
28:00not Furs,
28:00not Bracken,
28:01Gorse.
28:02Gorse,
28:02yes.
28:03Well,
28:03I agree with you,
28:04she's a lovely-looking instrument.
28:06Well,
28:07I hope you sell her soon.
28:08Well,
28:08whoever has the first model
28:09would be a celebrity.
28:10There's no doubt about that.
28:11Really?
28:12Oh,
28:12no doubt about that at all,
28:13sir.
28:14A talking point,
28:14I should say.
28:15Whoever has this car,
28:16well,
28:17all eyes would be on him.
28:20Ah,
28:20tell me,
28:22that,
28:22that tie,
28:23it is the Frontier Scouts,
28:25isn't it?
28:26Yes,
28:26sir.
28:26Matter of fact,
28:27it is.
28:29Well,
28:30I must go.
28:31Business.
28:32Yes,
28:32of course,
28:33Sir Robert.
28:40Of course.
28:41They're not only
28:42an unprincipled rotter,
28:44but an idiot to boot.
28:46If you say so,
28:46Mr. Bennett.
28:47Sir Robert Simons
28:48will never buy a car like that.
28:51I don't know who would buy it.
28:55I don't know why
28:56I stopped the bloody thing
28:57in the first place.
29:02We will never ship it.
29:04Never.
29:04Never.
29:04stay dressed like that,
29:24Mr. Gorse.
29:25Yes.
29:25It's Captain Gorse,
29:26you know.
29:27Sorry,
29:27Army, sir?
29:28Yes,
29:29for a while,
29:29nothing special.
29:30Yes,
29:30he was.
29:30He was on the Northwest Frontier
29:32with the Scouts.
29:32He was ever so brave.
29:33You are?
29:34Pamela Bennett.
29:35Uh-huh.
29:35Bennett Motors.
29:36Oh,
29:37I see,
29:37Mr.,
29:37I mean,
29:38Captain Gorse,
29:39works for your father,
29:40is that right?
29:40In what capacity?
29:42Manager,
29:42actually.
29:43Oh,
29:44marvellous.
29:45Now,
29:45all right,
29:45Margie,
29:46it's the car we're here for,
29:47dear.
29:48Get some old pictures,
29:49will you,
29:49Charlie?
29:50Um,
29:51this is the first model of its kind
29:52on the south coast.
29:53Isn't that the case,
29:54Mr.
29:55Captain Gorse?
29:55Yes,
29:56there's only a dozen in the country so far.
29:57It's going to be at the motor show,
29:58of course.
29:59What was the price again?
30:00Eight hundred guineas
30:01and worth every penny.
30:02Cool.
30:02I'll have two.
30:03This way,
30:03both.
30:05Miss Bennett,
30:06are you and Captain Gorse
30:07friendly?
30:09Yes,
30:09of course we are.
30:10May we expect an announcement?
30:12Not really,
30:13no.
30:14But possibly.
30:15One day.
30:16Uh,
30:17Captain Gorse?
30:18Who knows?
30:19Captain Gorse said modestly
30:20that he was willing to return
30:21to the colours
30:22in the event of an emergency.
30:24Captain Gorse,
30:25whatever it was he captain of.
30:26That doesn't matter,
30:27Harold.
30:27The bloody man's taken my car.
30:29What matters
30:29is the last paragraph.
30:31What was Pamela thinking
30:32about going off with him like that?
30:34Have you spoken to her about this?
30:36No,
30:36not yet.
30:37And I'm not going to.
30:38You are,
30:38if anybody is.
30:39Me?
30:40Well,
30:40you employ her here.
30:41Presumably,
30:41she went in office hours.
30:43Well,
30:43it says here Wednesday.
30:44Wednesday,
30:45I was up in London
30:45at the motor show.
30:47Of course he's going.
30:48He's going,
30:48and that's that.
30:49I never knew
30:50why you gave him the job
30:51in the first place.
30:52Well,
30:53he's a good salesman.
30:55But he might have crashed it.
30:56Anything might have happened.
30:57He's not insured.
30:58Harold,
30:59read the last paragraph.
31:01The handsome,
31:02gallant Captain Gorse
31:03would not deny that there...
31:05I don't believe this.
31:08Deny that there's a romantic
31:09association between himself
31:10and his charming companion,
31:11Miss Pamela Bennett,
31:13daughter of local businessman,
31:15Harold W. Bennett,
31:16proprietor of Bennett Motors,
31:18where the captain is a manager.
31:21Manager,
31:21romantic association,
31:22I'm not playing mad.
31:23I think she's been seeing him.
31:25Seeing him?
31:27What does that mean,
31:28for God's sake?
31:31You don't mean
31:32she's going to bed with him?
31:33No.
31:35No,
31:36of course not.
31:37But,
31:38well,
31:38he is attractive,
31:40and she...
31:41Well,
31:42she doesn't have a lot of luck
31:43in that department,
31:43does she?
31:45You sound as if you like the fellow.
31:46I don't like or dislike him.
31:50I simply want to know
31:51what we do about that newspaper report.
31:53I mean,
31:53what do we say to our friends?
31:55Well,
31:55we deny it.
31:56Of course we say the paper got it wrong.
31:57I suppose we'll have to.
31:59If it is,
32:01go downstairs and ask Pamela
32:02to step up here with you.
32:04Harold,
32:05be careful.
32:07Just do as I say.
32:07Handsome,
32:14gallant,
32:15my Aunt Fanny.
32:24An evening paper,
32:25would you both?
32:28Mrs. Bennett,
32:30it's not often we get the pleasure
32:31of seeing you here.
32:32Ralph,
32:32my husband is absolutely
32:33blazing out
32:34about this car business.
32:35How about that?
32:36That was just a nice little
32:37publicity stunt,
32:38that's all.
32:38Have you seen the article
32:40in the paper?
32:40No,
32:41as a matter of fact,
32:41I've just sent Bob out
32:41to get one.
32:42You are in the doghouse.
32:44Pamela,
32:45too,
32:45I'm sorry.
32:45I'm sorry about that.
32:47I must say,
32:48you're looking
32:48very pretty today,
32:51Phyllis.
32:51All this excitement
32:52must agree with you.
32:53Ralph,
32:53don't try it on with me.
32:55All I'm saying
32:56is how lovely you look.
32:57Is that a crime?
32:59No,
32:59but...
33:00I'm sure you'll be able
33:01to cool your husband down.
33:03Of course,
33:04that's not the effect
33:04you have on other men.
33:06Ralph,
33:06you are the absolute end.
33:10Oh,
33:11good afternoon,
33:12Sir Robert.
33:12Sir Robert,
33:13can I help you?
33:14I just read that bit
33:15in the Argus.
33:17I've come over to buy it.
33:18So accept my check,
33:19let me drive it away
33:20before I change my mind.
33:22Delighted,
33:22Sir Robert.
33:26Will that be all, ma'am?
33:27Yes,
33:28I'll call you
33:28if I need you.
33:29Yes, ma'am.
33:30I'll do the dishes now, ma'am.
33:31Is there anything
33:42in the paper, dear?
33:45Property prices
33:46are going up.
33:48If you sold this place,
33:49you'd get a good price for it.
33:52Where would I live, dear,
33:53if I did that?
33:54With me.
33:59Is that a proposal?
34:00Oh, perhaps it is.
34:02Perhaps it isn't.
34:03If it is,
34:04why don't you come and live here?
34:06Your gloomy old place
34:07depresses me,
34:08I must say.
34:10Well, your answer
34:10isn't exactly yes,
34:11is it?
34:11It's not exactly no.
34:12Ah, but it's not exactly yes either.
34:14Now, what you have to realise
34:16is that your only liquid asset
34:18is this house.
34:21Since your capital
34:22was stolen by Gorse.
34:23Not all of it.
34:25I still have a few hundreds.
34:27And poor dear
34:28Geoffrey's pension.
34:29Well, that'll get less and less
34:31as time goes by.
34:32I mean, if there's a war.
34:36Oh.
34:38Come on, Donald.
34:40Let's go down to the F&H
34:41and have a few drinks
34:42and cheer ourselves up.
34:44All we seem ever to do
34:45these days
34:46is sit in the house
34:47and listen to the wireless.
34:48In case Gorse
34:48or somebody like him
34:49comes in,
34:50you'd like that, wouldn't you?
34:51Donald, you are unutterably tiresome.
34:53Am I?
34:53Am I really?
34:54And shall I tell you
34:54what you are?
34:55Oh, come on,
34:56you old silly boots.
34:57Let's go down to the F&H
34:58and have a few drinks
34:58and forget about Hitler
34:59and Mr. Chamberlain
35:02and Mussolini.
35:05You go if you must.
35:07I think I'll go home.
35:09Have an early night.
35:10Well, then.
35:11Good night, Joan.
35:14Good night, dear.
35:28Stimson and Snell?
35:32If you hold on,
35:33he's just coming.
35:34It's for you, Mr. Stimson.
35:38Oh, right, thanks.
35:43Uh, Stimson here.
35:48Yes, yes,
35:48I do remember you.
35:52Where and when?
35:56Right.
35:56I'll be there.
36:21Hello, Miss Burrows.
36:22I wasn't sure you'd turn up.
36:25Now, may I ask
36:26what is your tipple?
36:28Oh, gin and orange, please.
36:30Aye, gin and orange, please.
36:32Do you have some news for me?
36:34Yes, sent to me
36:35by a friend at the club.
36:36She thought I'd be interested.
36:38Can I cost you a five?
36:39Sight unseen, dear.
36:41Oh.
36:44Um, sit down, please.
36:56Very well.
36:57Oh, yeah.
37:13Oh, Mrs. Rawlings.
37:28Is Mr. Gorse in his room, please?
37:35Oh, I see.
37:43I wish you'd come to France, Ralph.
37:57Would have been great fun.
37:58I'm sorry to miss out on that.
37:59I was expecting to hear from you, you know.
38:01I believe you.
38:02What happened?
38:03Didn't your money come through?
38:04Actually, it did.
38:06Well, what happened to it?
38:07What usually happens to money, my darling.
38:09It got spent.
38:10Well, I had no address for you, no telephone number.
38:14I was furious.
38:15He stood me up.
38:16I was terribly upset.
38:17Not for long, though.
38:18What?
38:19Who was he, that tall, handsome friend,
38:21the one you went to France with?
38:23Who?
38:24Oh, Archie, you mean?
38:26Was that his name?
38:27Archie, as I suppose he would be.
38:28Oh, Archie's an old friend.
38:30He wants to marry me, actually.
38:31Does he now?
38:32Hmm.
38:33Don't worry, darling.
38:35Whoever I marry, it won't be him.
38:37He's too unenterprising.
38:40You like that, don't you, Enterprise?
38:42Yes, I do, rather.
38:43I thought you did.
38:45Ralph, you've never gone too far, have you?
38:50I can't imagine what you can mean.
38:51Yes, you can.
38:56Four o'clock, good God, is that the time?
38:58You're not going, are you?
38:59Afraid so.
39:00But I thought we were going out for the evening,
39:01dinner or in the theatre or something.
39:03Oh, really hard.
39:04Oh, well, there it is.
39:06Ralph, you aren't married or something absolutely stupid like that, are you?
39:09No.
39:10If you are, I'll say so.
39:11Probably won't make any difference to us,
39:12but I'd rather like to know.
39:14I could marry you, if you like.
39:16And what would we live on?
39:18I told you, I'm broke until my father fixes
39:20some kind of marriage settlement
39:22with some eminently suitable bloke.
39:24Which I'm not.
39:25Which, however much I wish you were,
39:28you're not, darling.
39:31But we're two of a kind.
39:34I don't think I'll ever meet anybody else like you.
39:37Anybody I'd want to do all this with
39:39as much as I want to do it with you.
39:41Anybody who's just right for me in this way.
39:45I mean for an afternoon quickie.
39:48Yes, that.
39:49But not just that.
39:52Whatever it is, it isn't the stuff marriages are made of.
39:55Anyway, not the marriages I've seen.
39:58So can't we leave it, just as it is,
40:01and enjoy it for what it is?
40:03Yes, of course we can.
40:05Ralph, make love to me again now, please.
40:11I'll tell if I knew later, perhaps.
40:21Hello.
40:23Hello.
40:24What are you doing here?
40:25Waiting for you, remember?
40:26Where have you been?
40:27Oh, Lord, yes, my fault.
40:29Had a prospect of a sale.
40:31Turned out MBG.
40:33Your landlady let me in.
40:34She wasn't very pleased about it.
40:36Shame.
40:37Well, I could use a drink.
40:38Well, don't get too comfortable.
40:40Mommy's waiting for us.
40:41She wants to talk.
40:43What about?
40:44I don't know.
40:45Well, no idea at all?
40:46None.
40:46Except she knows about us.
40:49Well, yes, I know.
40:50I guess you knew.
40:51You'd better get home.
40:53Right.
40:55We'll go and charm the old girl.
40:57In a minute.
40:58Ralph.
40:59It's not nice to have the car again, isn't it?
41:10Yes.
41:12Thank you for that, darling.
41:13It's not nice to have the car again.
41:43Well, come along, you two.
41:46Your father will be home in 30 minutes.
41:47They're coming, Mommy.
41:50What's it all about, anyway?
41:53Come along.
42:09Ralph.
42:11Hello, Joan.
42:14Donald.
42:16Well, I see you do know one another.
42:19This is my daughter, Pamela.
42:21Mr. Stimson, Mrs. Bruce.
42:23Plumley Bruce, in fact.
42:24I'm so sorry.
42:25Won't you sit down?
42:27May I offer anybody a drink?
42:29Well, not for me, thank you.
42:31Mr. Stimson?
42:32Thank you, no.
42:33Well, I'm going to have a very large sherry.
42:36And I suggest you have one, too, Pamela.
42:37I think you're going to need it.
42:40Well, I don't understand.
42:42Ralph?
42:43There's all been a terrible misunderstanding.
42:44These two people used to be friends of mine.
42:47One of them, if she will allow me to say so, a very, very dear friend.
42:51And the other, a willing accomplice on at least one occasion that we both of us enjoy, but over which I will draw a veil.
42:59Sufficient to say that it was naughty, but nice.
43:02What are you talking about, Ralph, really?
43:04Mr. Stimson, do you know what Mr. Gorse is talking about?
43:06Yes, I do, but it's not relevant, Mrs.
43:08Oh, I would have thought it was, Donald.
43:10No.
43:11And my name's Stimson, and you can't blackmail me.
43:14Do you really mean to use that word, Mr. Stimson?
43:17I mean, seriously.
43:19Unfortunately, madam, I do.
43:20Donald, please.
43:22There isn't any need for unpleasantness.
43:23Yes, there is, my dear.
43:24There's a very great need for it.
43:25Will you please get to the point if there is one?
43:28Oh, there is one, my dear young lady.
43:31Very much so.
43:34Allow me to gift to you this passbook.
43:38It's issued by the bank.
43:39I do know what a passbook is.
43:41Look at the signature in the withdrawal column.
43:45Against the sum of £1,000.
43:47Do you recognise the signature?
43:51A 12?
43:52I can explain that.
43:53Total misunderstanding.
43:55Total fraud would have been my description of it.
43:59Now look at the names at the front of the book.
44:04Mrs. Joan Plumley Bruce
44:06and Mr. Ralph Ernest Gorse.
44:11A joint account.
44:13Both names.
44:14Either to sign.
44:16You understand?
44:17Go on.
44:17Gorse took that money
44:21and ran away with it.
44:22It's as simple as that.
44:24Mrs. Joan Plumley Bruce's money.
44:27That was six months ago.
44:29And we haven't seen him from that day to this.
44:31Joan?
44:35Oh, Ralph, why?
44:36Well, I had an opportunity to double it
44:39and it went wrong.
44:41And I couldn't face you.
44:42I'm terribly sorry.
44:43Oh, was that it?
44:44Was it really?
44:45He spent your money
44:47and since it went
44:48he's been bouncing checks all over the coast.
44:54If it hadn't been for certain information
44:55laid as to his whereabouts
44:56we'd still be looking for him.
44:58There'll be a lot of creditors
45:00coming after you.
45:02We just happened to be the first.
45:03Joan,
45:04there was no intent to deceive.
45:05That's why you sent you the passport back.
45:08You do believe that, don't you?
45:09Ralph, I'd like to.
45:11But why do you see how it looks?
45:13Just so.
45:14Exactly so.
45:17Well, Mrs. Bennet.
45:19I fail to see
45:20how this concerns my family.
45:22I understand from the local newspaper
45:24that your daughter is engaged to Gorse.
45:26You understand wrong.
45:28Then I must talk to your husband about this matter.
45:31I thought you wished to avoid that.
45:32I didn't know the amount involved then.
45:35But is there no
45:36accommodation possible, Mrs. Bennet?
45:40If people are silly with their money
45:42for whatever reason
45:43it's really no business of ours, is it?
45:46And I imagine Mr. Gorse is free of prosecution.
45:49Legal prosecution.
45:50Not when his creditors find out where he is.
45:53You can go to prison for debt, Mrs. Bennet.
45:55Oh, thank you for telling me
45:56but shouldn't you be telling Mr. Gorse?
45:58I imagine he'll be leaving my husband's employee anyway.
46:01Oh, stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
46:02Oh, Pamela.
46:04I'm pregnant.
46:05Oh, my God.
46:11Oh, Ray.
46:13Naturally, I will stand by her.
46:16Naturally.
46:16I'll marry her.
46:27But I'll have to ask a price, I'm afraid.
46:29You pay those people in there.
46:35And all my debts.
46:37I'd have to insist on that.
46:39I'm sorry.
46:40That'll be at least another thousand pounds.
46:44You wouldn't want me going to prison for debt now, would you?
46:46Not as your new son-in-law, eh?
46:48Did you know about Pamela?
46:51Absolutely not.
46:52It just happened.
46:53How do I make out the check?
47:11Joan Plumley Bruce.
47:15That's L-E-I-G-H.
47:21Well, I'll say good evening.
47:51You think you're oh-so-bloody-clever?
48:12One of these days, you'll go too far.
48:17And when you do, I'll be there.
48:20Waiting.
48:21You're the top.
48:36You're Mahatma Gandhi.
48:39You're the top.
48:42You're Napoleon Brandy.
48:45You're the purple light of a summer night in Spain.
48:48You're the national gallery, you're Garbo's salary, you're cellophane.
48:55You're sublime.
48:58You're a turkey dinner.
49:01You're the time of a Derby winner.
49:05I'm a toy balloon that's faded soon to pop.
49:10But if, baby, I'm the bottom, you're the top.
49:14I'm a worthless check, a total wreck of luck.
49:28But if, baby, I'm the bottom, you're the top.
49:32You're the top.
49:48I'm the top.
