03:09Leave me alone.
03:11Leave me alone.
03:13She said you're stupid, stupid.
03:15Come on down there, you stupid little son.
03:17He loves me.
03:19He loves me.
03:21He loves me.
03:23Mama, mama, poor little darling.
03:28Mama, mama, just like a woman when you have grown old.
03:36You'll be neglected and left in the cold.
03:44You'll be neglected and left in the cold.
04:00I love you.
04:02I love you.
04:04I love you.
04:06The door's on the way, man!
04:21Shut it up, boy!
04:22Shut up, bitch!
04:23Shut that back to me!
04:24Shut that back to me!
04:24Shut that back to me!
04:26He can't just say you give it to the exclusion!
04:29Come down, man!
04:30You just have to look at the car!
04:32You just have to look at the car!
04:33I've got to look at the car!
04:35I've got to look at the car!
04:37I've got to look at the car!
04:39Managers' compliments!
04:40And you can be aired on steeds!
04:42Well, that's right to me!
04:43Tell Mr. Reynolds I want a different dressing room!
04:44I want a dressing room my own!
04:45I won't be fretting!
04:46I'll fetch the police!
04:47Tell Mr. Reynolds it'll be all right now!
04:50Thank goodness!
04:52Join us over the road at the King's Head!
04:54I think we deserve a pint, Richard!
04:57Yeah, thanks.
04:58I'll see you over there.
04:59Do you think we should all tell Mr. Rollampton about him?
05:01That won't be necessary!
05:02He's got eyes!
05:04Not a temper!
05:06I don't like you anymore!
05:08You'll be sorry when you see me!
05:10Swimming on our garden door!
05:13You can't haul it down our rainbow!
05:16You can't climb our apple tree!
05:19I don't want to play in your yard!
05:21If you won't be good to me!
05:24We'll try too!
05:25Yay!
05:26Yay!
05:27Yes, good to see you!
05:29Yay!
05:30Yay!
05:31Yay!
05:33Yay!
05:34Yay!
05:35Yay!
05:36Yay!
05:39Yay!
05:41Yay!
05:42Yay!
05:43Yay!
05:44Yay!
05:49Yay!
05:51Which one are you?
05:54What are you talking about?
05:58Three of you here, isn't there?
06:00Ollerton, Mapes and Earncastle.
06:02I'm Earncastle.
06:05The other two are still in bed.
06:07Caught at last, are we?
06:08Superintendent Hill wants to see you at ten o'clock sharp on the stage of the palace.
06:12Shall I go up and tell the other two or do you?
06:14I'll go.
06:16Mr. Robinson won't pray for the police unless they give him some reason.
06:19There's been a body found.
06:21It'll all be told.
06:28A body found?
06:29We'll all be told about it.
06:31About the big chief, I suppose.
06:34Where's Sissy?
06:35She's probably sitting on the WC having a good cry.
06:39She's sentimental and constipated, so she spends a lot of time there.
06:45I wish you'd told that poppy to come up here.
06:47I'd have got more out of him.
06:48A body found.
06:50That isn't enough.
06:54If they're calling everyone on the bill to assemble on stage,
06:56that must mean the body was found in the palace.
06:58I'd already worked that out for myself, thank you, Sherlock Holmes.
07:03It might possibly be one in the company.
07:06Well, the stage hands down there, they've been dead for years and nobody's noticed.
07:11Right, I'll bring Sissy.
07:13The body that had been found belonged to Noni Colmar, the young French acrobat.
07:31Somebody had strangled her.
07:33Right, you!
07:34This is the second time I've had these Colmars going round with me.
07:39That girl looked a ripe little piece in her stage costume,
07:43and she was very fond of pushing out her tits and wagging her ass at any man.
07:47Ask that lad.
07:48Richard?
07:48Richard?
07:48My impression, er, it's only a guess,
07:55is that she didn't get much chance, er, outside to be with men.
08:00Because her uncle and the other two wouldn't let her,
08:02so she made the most of her chances backstage to amuse herself.
08:06She was a bit of a teaser, if you know what I mean.
08:08And she teased somebody once too often.
08:10So we needn't waste too much time with the stage staff?
08:13Huh.
08:14I wouldn't have anything to tease.
08:16Right.
08:17Thank you very much, gentlemen.
08:22I'm going to see the manager.
08:24Unless he can find a good fill-in fast,
08:25we'll all have to spread our axe tonight and that'll take rehearsal.
08:30Come and wait with Sissy.
08:32Can I give her a drink round the corner?
08:35She probably needs one.
08:36Or you do.
08:38Go on with you.
08:40Miss Mary.
08:47I just had two numbers.
08:49Can I just have two numbers?
08:50Just tell me anything at all.
08:52Look, it's only happened last night, for God's sake.
08:54Leave us under the ring with me.
08:55We start, we do it.
08:58Take another two numbers, the very men.
09:01Ah, ah, ah.
09:03I don't understand you Richard you're a nice boy sensitive artistic and all that you should
09:32be feeling how horrible this all is and why aren't you I am really it's not so bloody strange and

13:00Richard?
13:04Are you awake?
13:08What's the matter?
13:14I'm so frightened, Richard, dear.
13:18And he doesn't care.
13:21Let me stay a bit, please.
13:24I just want you to hold me.
13:27Just tell me it's all right.
13:30I haven't come for that.
13:33I'm too frightened.
13:35Of course, I know what it's like for a man holding a girl.
13:39You're not holding a girl.
13:41You're not holding.
13:43I don't care.
13:45Just so long as you come for me.
13:47Sissy, this is a bad idea.
13:50It won't work.
13:52You'll be sorry in the morning.
13:54I don't care about the morning.
13:56I'm sorry, but I don't want you here.
13:58For your own sake, as well as mine.
14:01Richard, you're both.
14:04But you understand.
14:09He understands all right.
14:11He understands very well.
14:14Get out.
14:16Out!
14:27She thought I was asleep.
14:29Don't be too hard on her uncle.
14:31She really is scared out of her wits.
14:34She never had any.
14:36And if she's so scared, she'll be glad she's going.
14:39She finishes on Saturday.
14:41No argument.
14:58I desperately didn't want Sissy to leave the company.
15:11She was a real friend.
15:13Genuine and warm-hearted.
15:14Not somebody sinister or murderous.
15:16Uncle Nick.
15:19Don't make a final decision for 24 hours.
15:21I made up my mind some time ago.
15:23She's too fat.
15:24She's slowing down the box and pedestal effect.
15:25But don't you think if she's going, Richard, at the end of next week.
15:29I'll get in someone who used to work for me.
15:32Morning, gentlemen.
15:34Just a couple of questions before you get too busy.
15:37I'm busy now.
15:42What's the matter with him?
15:44He's sacked Miss Mapes.
15:46Oh, dear.
15:48And where is Miss Mapes at this moment?
15:50Still hiding her misery in bed.
15:51So, if you had to guess, who would it be?
15:53Heavens, I don't know.
15:54Mr. Mergan and Miss Ferris.
15:55Would you like to guess, who would it be?
15:56Heavens, I don't know.
15:57Mr. Mergan and Miss Ferris.
15:58Would you say they were popular members of your company?
15:59No, I wouldn't.
16:00No, I wouldn't.
16:01Who would it be?
16:02Heavens, I don't know.
16:03Mr. Mergan and Miss Ferris.
16:04Would you say they were popular members of your company?
16:05No, I wouldn't.
16:07Well, some have mentioned a dwarf, Barney.
16:09Hmm.
16:15So, if you had to guess, who would it be?
16:18Heavens, I don't know.
16:20Mr. Mergan and Miss Ferris.
16:24Would you say they were popular members of your company?
16:27No, I wouldn't.
16:32Well, some have mentioned a dwarf.
16:34Barney.
16:36I'm sorry.
16:37Did you say something?
16:38No.
16:41He did fool around with her now and again.
16:42He's a silly little man.
16:44He went off early with Sam and Ben Hayes.
16:47That's right.
16:48So he did.
16:50Any others?
16:54Duffield, perhaps.
16:56One of the three Americans.
16:58That's sheer prejudice.
17:01What I've been wondering, Inspector, is how you're going to continue your inquiries.
17:05Move to Preston on Sunday.
17:07Blackpool the following week.
17:09Oh, we know that, young man.
17:11That's the chief reason we're calling in the yard.
17:14I can't say I'm sorry.
17:15Ten to one, you'll get Inspector Crab.
17:20Now, he's a terror.
17:22Doesn't look like a crab, but behaves like one.
17:26Move sideways.
17:28Then, all of a sudden, it's a pinch.
17:31It's a pinch.
17:32Oh!
17:33Oh, my God.
18:03Darling Richard, I'm sorry to have gone without saying goodbye to you
18:09and giving you a last kiss, but I can't stand it anymore and I've got to go now.
18:16There's nowhere to go but back home.
18:19You're such a nice, dear boy, and I don't mind your being standoffish with me
18:25because I knew all the time you were really in love with Nancy Ellis,
18:29even though she's obviously not in love with you.
18:32Well, she can't be, can she?
18:37Don't forget me because I am a true friend and perhaps a bit more.
18:45Love, Sissy.
18:47Vindictive little bitch.
19:16She gets her money, an extra week, too, and off she goes,
19:22deliberately leaving us in the cart for tomorrow.
19:25That's a woman for you, lad. You can't trust her my bloody yard.
19:28She knew damn well I'd arranged for Doris Tingley to join us at Preston on Sunday
19:32and I hadn't the hope of getting her here before, so off she goes without a word.
19:36Female spiked. No loyalty!
19:38Well, you have to get hold of Sam and Ben and Barney.
19:45We'll put a lot of old material back in and do without her.
19:52Oh, wish to God I'd never set eyes on this bloody town.
19:55I tried to shake myself free of the pervading,
20:09enervating gloom by inventing a new trick,
20:11the magic painting.
20:14As for Uncle Nick, he was morose and silent.
20:16The truth was, though, he'd never have admitted it, even under torture.
20:22He was feeling lost without Sissy.
20:25He'd neglected her and treated her badly at times.
20:29But he missed her ego-flattering, intensely feminine companionship.
20:32He was not to find similar qualities in Sissy's replacement.
20:42Doris Tingley was the angriest person I've ever known.
20:47She was permanently angry.
20:50What about the box? What about it?
20:52I've already told you I didn't have a money or a bailout.
20:54Yes, I know, but that is dangerous.
20:56I mean, I could have been hurt, and they don't seem to know what they're doing.
20:58I mean, my God, this act's gone to the dog since I was last around.
21:02Doris, I don't think you...
21:03Oh, you too, Nick Arlott, and you haven't improved.
21:05Come on, now, let's start from the top.
21:07Listen, you, could you possibly get that tempo right?
21:10Come on, let's start. Come on.
21:12Where are you going?
21:26Mrs. Tingley, would you like to come for a drink?
21:28Who's paying?
21:29I'll pay, Mrs. Tingley.
21:30Oh, don't call me that. It sounds so damn silly.
21:32You're a, what's it, Richard, Dick, and I'm Doris.
21:35You can call me Doris.
21:36That doesn't mean to say I'm going to spend any money on you
21:38and you're in these ridiculous pro bars.
21:40Sign photos of great artists, I don't think.
21:43All powers of the landlord, I also don't think.
21:45You can buy me just one scotch and splat.
21:48And don't imagine I'm joining in any rounds.
21:50I'm here to save money, not to spend it.
21:52Well, last night, I beat that woman my days
21:54down to 19 balls for the week.
21:56That's bed, proper breakfast, and a hot supper.
21:59And I've got her down to say anything
22:00if it hadn't been time.
22:01I mean, it can be done, you know, if you set your mind.
22:04Hello, Harry.
22:04Oh, it's for me, is it?
22:05It's Lily Barris, isn't it?
22:07Hello, Lily Barris.
22:08I suppose you think she's a wonder.
22:10No, I don't for this night.
22:11Oh, that's right.
22:11Oh, good.
22:12So do I.
22:13On and off this day.
22:14Absolutely, we're in.
22:15What do you do for you?
22:16No, don't tell me.
22:18I see.
22:18I don't like smut.
22:27Hello?
22:28Now, what is all this about a murder?
22:31I asked Nick, but he didn't seem to want to talk about it.
22:34Did it himself, perhaps?
22:36Come on, come on, tell me.
22:38I'm sure you've read about it.
22:39I have, indeed.
22:40Nonny Colmore wasn't she called?
22:42But what else?
22:44Uh, well, the police have called in Scotland Yard,
22:46and we're all to be interviewed again by an Inspector Crabb.
22:49You can't drag me into it.
22:51I haven't worked for Nick Ollerton for three years,
22:53and only left to marry Archie Tingley.
22:55More fool me.
22:56If the man who did it's one of those sex maniacs
22:59I saw at the band call, I'm not surprised.
23:02Just let them try any funny business with me, that's all.
23:04Just let them try laying a finger on me, that's all.
23:07One night when a certain comedian tried some hanky-panky,
23:11I kicked him right in his best joke.
23:14Well, he hasn't forgotten that, I'll be bound.
23:17I'll tell you what variety's full of, mostly.
23:20Riff-raff.
23:20Just downright common riff-raff,
23:22earning ten times as much money as they're worth.
23:25Some of them.
23:26I agree.
23:27Right, come on, then.
23:28But didn't you miss the variety stage when you were there?
23:38Missed it?
23:39Not a bit of it, but he married to Archie Tingley
23:42and that variety stage for me.
23:43He's in and out of more jobs than any other man in England.
23:48When people ask me what he's doing, I have to think,
23:50and even then I'm sometimes two jobs behind.
23:53He can get almost any job he wants,
23:55but as soon as he's started,
23:57either he can't keep it or he doesn't like it.
23:59And what do I say?
24:01Nothing.
24:01Well, hardly anything.
24:03He twists me all the time around his little finger.
24:06I wish to God I'd married a steady man I didn't much like.
24:09What job's he doing at the moment, Doris?
24:11Oh, for heaven's sake, Richard, have a bit of wit.
24:13I've just told you that's the kind of question I hate.
24:16He's selling something.
24:17Turkish tobacco or electrical fittings or bicycles.
24:21He can't even ride one.
24:23Jerry, he'll tell us himself when he gets here tomorrow.
24:26I don't know about you.
24:30But I'm off.
24:42Archie's here.
24:44If you've nothing better to do,
24:45you might as well come and have a look at him.
24:47Mr. Hearncastle, what a delight for me, my dear fellow.
24:53How do you do?
24:53Your uncle doesn't care for me, you know.
24:55I suppose because I stole Doris away from him.
24:56Yeah, well, that helped, but he wouldn't like you any.
24:58I don't know why anyone does.
24:59I'm sure you and I will get along famously.
25:01Will you have a drink, will I?
25:02No, you're not starting that.
25:03Doris, please remember, I've come over 200 miles.
25:05Yeah, to see a man about a job, you told me so.
25:07I came to see you, my dear.
25:09I've been missing you terribly.
25:10And now when I suggest a friendly drink.
25:13Oh, well, all right.
25:14But just one.
25:15Right, I'll call a taxi.
25:17Did he say a taxi?
25:19That man, I can't imagine how I'd put up with him.
25:22Not that he's not better than most of you.
25:24I mean, he does try to please.
25:26Not like most men who would think they're doing you a favour
25:28just by yawning or blowing smoke in your face.
25:31And it's not Turkish tobacco or bicycles,
25:33but boats now.
25:35Boats!
25:35I ask you.
25:37What sort?
25:37Oh, little boats for Park Lakes.
25:39And I doubt if he's ever been in one all of his life.
25:42He gets talking to this fella in an expensive saloon bar
25:45and within half an hour he's bought 50 boats
25:47with money he hasn't got.
25:49I mean, one time I just stopped him
25:51from buying 7,000 roller skates.
25:53I don't care for him.
25:54I don't care for him at all.
25:56But I'm stuck with a mountain.
25:57I don't care for him at all.
26:27Richard, there are one or two things you should know about me.
26:57My interests are far and wide, but not deep.
27:01Oh, you can bet your boots on that.
27:03I try this, that, and the other.
27:05Why?
27:06For two good reasons.
27:08First, I'm accumulating experience,
27:10giving me, well, an insight.
27:13Oh, into what?
27:14Secondly, I'm waiting for the proper moment
27:17to enter the moving picture business.
27:19Not at the producing end.
27:21Oh, no.
27:22But at the distributing, exhibiting stage.
27:24I want to be in a position to meet the demand
27:31for moving pictures, which is about to grow and grow.
27:34Richard, I assure you, nothing can stop them.
27:38Doris doesn't understand the position
27:39because, in some respects, she's high-barred.
27:41It's his husband's barred, you mean?
27:43My dear, I'm talking to Richard,
27:44not only because I like him, but to be perfectly frank,
27:47because I hope he'll pass some of this on
27:49to his Uncle Nicolitan,
27:50who might just be wondering what to do with his money.
27:53That's what she transferred!
27:54It's absolutely inevitable.
27:56What is?
27:56Moving pictures will go up and up.
27:59Variety, down and down.
28:02Oh, nonsense.
28:03The end of an era.
28:05You mark my words.
28:12Oh, aren't you listening?
28:14Charlie Pierce is rehearsing a new musical comedy.
28:17The girl in the band.
28:18One of our dear old pals.
28:19Oh, we must get to see it.
28:21Opening shortly at the region,
28:23Tom Bowen,
28:23Gertie Mae,
28:24Nancy Ellis,
28:25Charles Pierce.
28:25Did you say Nancy Ellis?
28:27Know her?
28:28Of course he knows her.
28:30Just look at him.
28:31Aha!
28:33Stop it, Archie.
28:34Sound like a really good.
28:36Well, Richard?
28:39She and her sister were touring with us
28:40until they went into pantomime.
28:41I'm wondering what happened to her.
28:44And she been wandering, too?
28:49Well, if she hasn't,
28:50she ought to have a bedroom worth ten of her.
28:52Well, I need you, ladies and gentlemen.
28:54How did it work now?
28:55Bring the children there.
28:56How did it work now?
28:58In ten years' time,
29:00Doris will be riding behind a chauffeur
29:02in a big car.
29:03Oh, you daft idiot.
29:05I'll probably be running a lodging house
29:06and you'll be doing the washing up and cleaning the shoes.
29:09The only moving pictures you'll be able to afford
29:10is what the butlers saw on the pear promenade.
29:12Daughty!
29:13Aren't she?
29:20Dear Nancy,
29:23I've just heard that you are rehearsing at the Regent,
29:27so this ought to reach you quite soon.
29:32If you've ever sent any replies to my letters,
29:34I've never had them.
29:37I shall not write again after this.
29:43But it wouldn't hurt to send me a line.
29:47Even a postcard.
29:50To tell me you are not interested.
29:55Then perhaps I could stop thinking about you.
29:57For the next three weeks,
30:03I shall be at the Palace Blackpool.
30:07Yours,
30:08very sincerely,
30:11Richard Hencastle.
30:12I've been to Blackpool before on holiday.
30:40And possibly that was the trouble.
30:43From the first,
30:44it felt strange to be working there instead of playing.
30:47To breathe the strong sea air
30:49and yet not be rushing across the promenade to the sands.
30:52A carefree boy again.
30:55Strange and melancholy.
30:58I didn't belong to the bustling crowds of holidaymakers.
31:02In fact,
31:03I felt as depressed there
31:04as I had done in grim, scowling Burrington.
31:08Or was it simply that the perceptions
31:09and events in Burrington
31:10were crawling from under their stone again?
31:12It was so wonderful.
31:12Let's go.
31:42Nancy hadn't replied, of course, either.
31:51And to cap everything, we were staying in a boarding house full of strangers.
31:56Their cheerful bonhomie grated as much as that of the crowds outside.
32:00And there was a coolness between us which took a long time to thaw.
32:12Only calm and cold, for the hotmail will be said the day and the land.
32:25Still not at twilight, comes lots of sun, comes lots of sweet sun.
32:41Once in the dear dead days beyond recall,
33:03when all the world amidst began to fall,
33:09now let me see, what's your name?
33:15Mine's Crab, by the way.
33:18Oh, so you've heard of me?
33:21I'm Richard Hancastle.
33:22That's right, so you are, of the Ganga Dunn Company.
33:26Well, you've done what you have to do here, haven't you?
33:29What do you usually do now?
33:30Have a drink, I'll go for a walk.
33:32I'll tell you what we'll do, Mr. Hancastle.
33:34If you've no objection, we'll do both.
33:37Wonderful air, isn't it?
33:49I don't like this place.
33:51Never did as soon as I had any sense.
33:53It's one big money trap around with idiots and sharpers.
33:57The air's wonderful.
33:59Shouldn't be, but it is.
34:01A pity we can't pipe it into Westminster.
34:02Do you know what all this does to me, Mr. Hancastle?
34:08Frighting me.
34:10Do you understand that?
34:15I called at your boarding house this morning.
34:17I spoke to Mr. Ollenton.
34:19Your uncle, I believe.
34:21He said you'd be at the palace.
34:22That's all he did say.
34:24He didn't express any opinion about a crime.
34:26He shut me up and shut himself up.
34:29Why should he do that?
34:30You don't think he's a suspicious character, do you?
34:33I think everybody's a suspicious character, Mr. Hancastle.
34:37I've enough suspicion in me to choke a horse.
34:42Uncle Nick's a very clever man.
34:45He's also very proud and he's in the mystery business.
34:47You've done that?
34:49So far, this murder's a mystery bigger than any of his.
34:52This one's a real thing.
34:57He could solve it at all fast enough.
34:58But it baffles him.
35:02The great Nick Ollenton.
35:05So he won't even discuss it.
35:07Very neat.
35:08You might be right.
35:09And again, you might not.
35:11Excuse me.
35:11Well, it isn't Spider Evans.
35:23Oh, hello, Inspector.
35:24You wouldn't be working up here, would you, Spider?
35:26No, I wouldn't.
35:29Just don't know how to die.
35:31Simon's everybody else here.
35:32Not everybody, Spider.
35:34I've only been here since last night and I've spotted six or seven white boys I know without
35:38even looking for them.
35:39So watch it, Spider.
35:41Just play on the sounds.
35:44Here, what does he want?
35:45Nothing.
35:45He's far, me love.
35:46Here, you up to something?
35:49Oh, no.
35:49I'll be watching your show tonight.
35:55And many other nights, too.
35:57And I'll be round at the back.
35:59Because after all, there you all are.
36:03And one of you did it.
36:05Well, it wasn't me.
36:08But you'd like this case solved and done with, wouldn't you?
36:12You're all I've got to talk to.
36:13You follow?
36:14I don't really know the others on the bill.
36:20I see very little of them.
36:22Stand-offish, are you, Mr. Herne Carson?
36:25I don't think so.
36:28On an earlier tour.
36:31Different people, well.
36:34Made a lot of friends.
36:35But not this time, eh?
36:37That's the sort of thing I like to know.
36:40Very helpful.
37:14One for whom in vain you sigh.
37:19You're of lonely birth.
37:22Just a thing of birth.
37:24While the star shines in fortune's eye.
37:31Shine on, bright star.
37:35Softly in the sky you're beaming.
37:38Shine on, bright star.
37:43For your tender love I sigh.
37:47Shine on, bright star.
37:51Of you I am fondly dreaming.
37:55Listen to the wail of the night and day.
38:00Star of the eastern sky.
38:10What did you say to me?
38:38Ham!
38:42Again!
38:44There must be more ham eating in this town than any place in the world.
38:48Perhaps it's ham that makes them so stupid.
38:51Tonight's audience was the stupidest I'd ever known. Talk about dense.
38:55Poor Sid Baxter. He's our comic.
38:58Was down to making mother-in-law gags and kippers and WC jokes. It must wreck his heart.
39:03Peggy, I didn't tell you. When he came off after the sketch, he coughed and coughed and he was blood.
39:07He was blood on his handkerchief.
39:09Lorna. That's his wife. Our vocalist.
39:14She was terribly upset. She started crying in the dressing room.
39:20I don't like life. I've tried it and I don't like it.
39:27Couple of glasses, Richard. And perhaps these young ladies will take a glass of champagne with me.
39:33Oh, thanks very much, Mr. Ollington. I could just do with one.
39:37So could I. Thank you.
39:39But what about it then, Mr. Ollington? You're a star turn. Booked up for years. Loads of money.
39:46I suppose you think life's wonderful.
39:48Well, I don't dislike life like you do. But there's nothing wonderful about it.
39:53Most of the time it's like living with a lion. One day you make it jump through the hoops.
39:58But get careless. It'll have you in a corner tearing an arm off.
40:03I'll tell the truth. To hell with girlish reticence. I can bang and rattle on a piano for hours. Keep her cows, cook, scrub, sew if I have to. And I'm not afraid to take my clothes off.
40:16Darling, what's this?
40:20Sorry, Miss Camford. But to begin with, I'm married already. We could live in sin.
40:25You wouldn't suit me. You're too intelligent.
40:27This is your chance, Maisie. Why don't you like intelligent women?
40:32Not to live with. Richard here's different.
40:35Oh, he's too young.
40:37He wasn't for a certain West End actress I could name.
40:40Oh, shut up, Uncle.
40:42I should never have booked us into this monkey house.
40:50At least they're cheerful monkeys.
40:52That Inspector Crabb got hold of you, I imagine.
40:55Yeah.
40:56He wanted to scourge that.
40:58And do his own work.
41:00We didn't kill her.
41:02Who did?
41:12I don't know.
41:16And I no much care either.
41:19By the way, I almost forgot.
41:21You know that dwarf I picked out at Joe Bosonby's?
41:25Philip Tubey, the serious one.
41:27Yeah.
41:28Had a wire to say he's arriving tomorrow.
41:30His train gets in at four.
41:32I want you to meet him.
41:35Have you worked out the two dwarf effect?
41:38Give me time, lad.
41:40No.
41:42I just thought it might be safer for us to have another dwarf.
41:48He can take over one or two of Barney's jobs
41:50if Barney gets any more I'm reliable.
41:52Barney will yell his head off.
41:54It's difficult enough as it is.
41:55I know he is.
41:56Don't tell me my job.
41:57But with a rival,
41:59he'll sharpen up his P's and Q's in five minutes.
42:01You'll see.
42:04Well...
42:05You're half asleep, lad.
42:09Get to bed.
42:11Good afternoon, Mr Tubey.
42:15It's a very kind of you to meet me.
42:17Not at all.
42:18Can I carry that bag?
42:19No, that's extremely kind, but I think I can manage quite well.
42:22Shall we say the grip?
42:23I think that might be a good idea.
42:25Tell me, Mr Tubey.
42:26Have you any idea what's been planned for me?
42:27No, I don't, Mr Tubey.
42:28No doubt my uncle will explain.
42:29No doubt my uncle will explain.
42:32Thank you, Mr Tubey.
42:33Thank you, Mr Tubey.
42:34Thank you, Mr Tubey.
42:35I'm sorry.
42:36Thank you, Mr Tubey.
42:37Thank you, Mr Tubey.
42:38Thank you, Mr Tubey.
42:39Thank you, Mr Tubey.
42:40Thank you, Mr Tubey.
42:41Thank you, Mr Tubey.
42:42Thank you, Mr Tubey.
42:43It's very kind of you to meet me.
42:44Not at all.
42:45Can I carry that bag?
42:46No, that's extremely kind,
42:47but I think I can manage quite well, thank you.
42:48Shall we say the grip?
42:49I think that might be a good idea.
42:51Tell me, Mr Tubey,
42:52have you any idea what's been planned for me?
42:53No, I don't, Mr Tubey.
42:59Have you been to Blackpool before?
43:10Yes, I did a season here quite a few years ago
43:13at the Tower Circus,
43:15running on and falling about in between the acts
43:17with the clowns
43:19to amuse the children.
43:21I'm very fond of children.
43:23I like to hear them laughing,
43:25but not the others.
43:26Certainly not the others.
43:28I'm a serious man,
43:30and I think life's a very serious business.
43:32In a whole town,
43:34lending itself to frivolity and greed,
43:37foolishness.
43:39Can that be a good thing for how I come to ask myself?
43:42Invertible, I reply,
43:43no, Philip, it certainly cannot.
43:47Oh, by the way,
43:49I have a message for you from my uncle.
43:51I'm seeing him at, er,
43:53half past eleven tomorrow morning at this address.
43:55If you could be on time, my uncle seems to think it's very important.
43:58Well, if it's important to Mr Allerton,
44:00it's certainly important to me.
44:05I'm looking forward to working with Mr Allerton.
44:07He's very much respected in the profession.
44:09Do you know this Mrs Shuro I'm going to be lodging with?
44:12No, but, er,
44:14I believe my uncle knows her.
44:15The town's full of me.
44:17He must have asked her if she could find a bed for you.
44:19I appreciate that very much, Mr Herndcastle.
44:22He's most considerate of me.
44:24The town's full of me.
44:30The town's full of me!
44:31The town's full of me!
44:33The town's full of me!
44:34Mrs. Shurer, my name's Erncastle.
44:42Oh, Nicollerton's nephew, isn't it?
44:45Pleased to meet you.
44:47Come in.
44:48And this must be the little...
44:49Mr. Tooby.
44:50Pleased to meet you.
44:52Come in.
44:53It's just a small attic room, Mr. Tooby, but it's clean and comfortable.
44:56And it's just what I'm looking for, thank you, Mrs. Shurer.
45:00This is Max, my husband.
45:02You may have overheard us having a few words.
45:04Pleased to meet you, Mr. Shurer.
45:06I'll take you into your room, Mr. Tooby.
45:08Leave your case here for Max.
45:10You can let off steam talking to this young man.
45:13I swear, Mr. Tooby.
45:14You very can.
45:15Come to here, young man.
45:19You wish a glass of beer?
45:21No, thanks.
45:23Then excuse me.
45:25I'm very thirsty.
45:27After shouting with my wife,
45:29I make a big argument.
45:32I say we leave this country.
45:38We get out quick.
45:40Not to Germany or...
45:42But to Holland or Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden.
45:47What's wrong with this country?
45:52Sometime.
45:53Perhaps I tell you what is wrong with this country.
45:57But now I wish to leave.
46:00To go to one of those places.
46:02Because soon here will be war.
46:07Yes.
46:08Yes.
46:09War!
46:10War!
46:11War!
46:11Archduke Francis Ferdinand is assassinated at Sarajevo.
46:20Have you seen?
46:21I've heard about it, yeah.
46:23I have worked in Vienna.
46:26I have worked in Budapest.
46:29I think about international affairs.
46:31Austria will ask too much of the Serbs and there will be war.
46:39But there's always some sort of war down there.
46:43Down there?
46:45It is not down there.
46:47It will be here.
46:48Why do you think I tell my wife we must go?
46:57It will not be a little war.
47:01I do not mean a little war.
47:06Fifty years have been spent making Europe into explosive.
47:11Five days will be enough to blow it into pieces.
47:15Oh, do stop it, Max, for goodness sake.
47:19And take poor little Mr. Tubi's case up to him.
47:22Doesn't it useful for a change?
47:24Holland.
47:25Switzerland.
47:26Denmark.
47:27Sweden.
47:28I heard him going on at you just now.
47:31There's not a nicer kindy man than my, Max.
47:34But you will go on and on about all this foreign politics.
47:38What Austria said to Italy.
47:40What Germany's going to say to Russia.
47:42Just as if there were all a lot of quarrelsome people in next street.
47:46Listen, poor little Mr. Tubi's getting it now.
47:50He's like I'll be with him.
47:52I wish he'd take up fretwork or stamps or something instead.
47:56He has two pals at the Metropole.
47:58And some nights they come round here talking at tops of the voices till all hours.
48:02I have to keep knocking on the ceiling to get any sleep at all.
48:04Every damn time you see all those boys marching, I can't stop myself crying.
48:32I ought to put my head in a bag.
48:34Please, come.
48:36We haven't started yet, Doris.
48:38There'll be plenty of crime before we're out of this.
48:43See that poster there, Richard?
48:45Kitchener wants you.
48:46What do you say to that?
48:56What do you say to that?
48:57There were echoes in what Max Scherer heard.
49:15There were echoes in what Max Scherer had said.
49:28Of the dire prophecies of Uncle Nick's old Hindu.
49:32He had foretold of rivers and oceans of blood.
49:35And he had insisted that it was exactly what we wanted.
49:38There were echoes in what Max Scherer had said.
50:08There were echoes in what Max Scherer went back to us,
50:08and the voll absolveiated thou tunes.
50:09He had wayne waned to arrive for the Shaher Manpins,
50:10so he told me only hope I was getting rid of them.
50:11The força had spoken to us while Max Scherer had subscribed to us.
50:25He had sworn to 나�észes and toxins.
