00:02:24Open it.

00:02:54Open it.

00:03:19Don't.

00:03:24We've got to see if there's anything.

00:03:26I know.

00:03:28Not just yet.

00:03:30Let's stay this way for a minute.

00:03:49We don't have too much time.

00:03:59It's the darkness that's got you down.

00:04:02Nobody ever feels really safe in the dark.

00:04:04Nobody who's ever a child, that is.

00:04:06I'll open these, all right?

00:04:08There, that's much better.

00:04:21What a lovely evening.

00:04:28Pity we couldn't have done it with the curtains open in the bright sunlight.

00:04:38You can't have everything, can we?

00:04:41We did do it in the daytime.

00:04:44All right now, Philip?

00:04:46Yes.

00:04:47You better put those away.

00:04:48Put them in my checkbook drawer behind that metal box.

00:04:54You know, this is a museum piece now.

00:05:14We really should preserve it for posterity.

00:05:17Except it's such a good crystal and I'd hate to break up the set.

00:05:22Out of this, David Gently had his last drink.

00:05:29It should have been ginger ale or even beer.

00:05:34I've always thought it was out of character for David to drink anything as corrupt as whiskey.

00:05:39Out of character for him to be murdered, too.

00:05:42Yes, wasn't it?

00:05:43The good Americans usually die young on the battlefield, don't they?

00:05:47Well, the Davids of this world merely occupy space.

00:05:51Which is why he was the perfect victim for the perfect murder.

00:05:56Of course, he was a Harvard undergraduate.

00:06:01That might make a justifiable homicide.

00:06:04He's dead and we've killed him.

00:06:06But he's still here.

00:06:08In less than eight hours, he'll be resting gently but firmly at the bottom of a lake.

00:06:12Meanwhile, he's here.

00:06:13What are you doing?

00:06:14It's not locked.

00:06:15Oh, the better.

00:06:16It's much more dangerous.

00:06:17Anyway, the lock's too old.

00:06:18It won't work.

00:06:19I wish it would.

00:06:20I wish we had him out of here.

00:06:21I wish it was somebody else.

00:06:22It's a trifle late for that, don't you think?

00:06:23Uh, whom would you have preferred?

00:06:24Kenneth?

00:06:25Oh, I don't know.

00:06:26I suppose anyone was as good or as bad as any other.

00:06:29You, perhaps.

00:06:30You frightened me.

00:06:31You always have.

00:06:32From that very first day in prep school.

00:06:33Part of your charm, I suppose.

00:06:36I'm only kidding, Brandon.

00:06:37I obviously can't take it as well as you.

00:06:38So I'm turning on you a little.

00:06:39That's rather foolish.

00:06:40I don't know.

00:06:41I don't know.

00:06:42I suppose anyone was as good or as bad as any other.

00:06:45You, perhaps.

00:06:46You frightened me.

00:06:47You always have.

00:06:48From that very first day in prep school.

00:06:51Part of your charm, I suppose.

00:06:56I'm only kidding, Brandon.

00:07:00I obviously can't take it as well as you, so I'm turning on you a little.

00:07:05It's rather foolish, isn't it?

00:07:07Yes.

00:07:08Very.

00:07:09May I have a drink now?

00:07:14By all means.

00:07:15This is an occasion.

00:07:16It calls for champagne.

00:07:18Champagne?

00:07:19I put some in the ice box.

00:07:21When did you put it there, Brandon?

00:07:22Oh, just before David arrived.

00:07:24You were certain it would come off, weren't you?

00:07:26Of course.

00:07:27You know I'd never do anything unless I did it perfectly.

00:07:30I've always wished for more artistic talent.

00:07:34Well, murder can be an art too.

00:07:37The power to kill can be just as satisfying as the power to create.

00:07:43Do you realize we've actually done it exactly as we planned?

00:07:48And not a single infinitesimal thing has gone wrong.

00:07:51It was perfect.

00:07:52Yes.

00:07:53An immaculate murder.

00:07:55We've killed for the sake of danger and for the sake of killing.

00:07:58We're alive.

00:08:00Truly and wonderfully alive.

00:08:02Even champagne isn't equal to us or the occasion.

00:08:05I'll take it, though.

00:08:07You're not really frightened anymore, are you, Philip?

00:08:09You can't have fear, you know.

00:08:10Neither of us can.

00:08:11That's the difference between us and the ordinary man, Philip.

00:08:14They talk about committing the perfect crime, but nobody does it.

00:08:17Nobody commits a murder just for the experiment of committing it.

00:08:20Nobody except us.

00:08:21You're not frightened anymore, are you, Philip?

00:08:22No.

00:08:23Not even of me?

00:08:24No.

00:08:25That's good.

00:08:26You just astound me.

00:08:27As always.

00:08:28That's even better.

00:08:29To David, of course.

00:08:31Brandon, how did you feel?

00:08:32When?

00:08:33During it?

00:08:34I don't know.

00:08:35No.

00:08:36No.

00:08:37No.

00:08:38That's good.

00:08:39You just astound me.

00:08:40As always.

00:08:41That's even better.

00:08:42To David, of course.

00:08:54Brandon, how did you feel?

00:08:56When?

00:08:57During it?

00:08:58I don't know, really.

00:09:01I don't remember feeling very much of anything.

00:09:07Until his body went limp.

00:09:11And I knew it was over.

00:09:13And then?

00:09:14Then I felt tremendously exhilarated.

00:09:20How did you feel?

00:09:24Oh, I...

00:09:25I...

00:09:28Brandon, you don't think the party's a mistake, do you?

00:09:30No.

00:09:31The party's the inspired, finishing touch to our work.

00:09:34It's more.

00:09:35It's the signature of the artist.

00:09:37Not having it would be like, uh...

00:09:39Painting the picture and not hanging it?

00:09:41I don't think that's a very good choice of words.

00:09:44It may turn out to be a little too choice, thanks to the party.

00:09:47Oh, right.

00:09:48This party will be the most exciting ever given.

00:09:50With these people?

00:09:51They're a dull crew, all right.

00:09:53The Kentleys couldn't be duller if they tried.

00:09:55But we...

00:09:56We did have to have them.

00:09:58After all, they...

00:09:59They are...

00:10:00David's mother and father.

00:10:01That doesn't make them any easier to talk to.

00:10:04Oh, don't worry.

00:10:05Janet will be buttering them up, poor girl.

00:10:07She's banked everything on hooking David.

00:10:10Somehow, I...

00:10:11I don't think she's going to succeed.

00:10:14Do you?

00:10:15No.

00:10:17Somehow, I don't.

00:10:18Well, she can switch back to Kenneth tonight.

00:10:21You must admit, it was most considerate of me in view of, uh...

00:10:24Recent events to prevent...

00:10:33Philip.

00:10:34What?

00:10:35Take the other one.

00:10:36What for?

00:10:37Never mind.

00:10:38Come with me.

00:10:40What's this all about?

00:10:42You'll see.

00:10:43It's brilliant.

00:10:44It's brilliant.

00:10:54What the devil are you doing?

00:10:56Making our work of art a masterpiece.

00:10:59Brandon, you're going too far.

00:11:00Why?

00:11:01What do you mean?

00:11:03I just thought it'd be nice to have supper in here.

00:11:08On this.

00:11:11Isn't it a good idea?

00:11:14Well, at least this way no one will try to open it.

00:11:18I don't think you appreciate me, Philip.

00:11:21I'm beginning to, Brandon.

00:11:23Well, come on.

00:11:24We don't have too much time.

00:11:25Mrs. Wilson will be coming back soon.

00:11:27Did you forget to borrow her key?

00:11:29I might have known better than to...

00:11:30I didn't forget.

00:11:31I have her key.

00:11:32I told her I lost mine.

00:11:33Oh, good.

00:11:34How are you going to explain this to her?

00:11:35Why not?

00:11:36We've got to have some excuse.

00:11:38We don't want to leave our guest of honor alone during supper.

00:11:42Brandon, we've got to have an excuse for the others.

00:11:45All right, all right.

00:11:46Let me think.

00:11:51Really, you get much too upset much too easily, Philip.

00:11:54We have a very simple excuse.

00:11:58Right here.

00:12:03What are you worrying about, Philip?

00:12:05After all...

00:12:06Oh, Mr. Kentley's coming mainly to look at these books.

00:12:08Now, what could be better than to have them laid out neatly on the dining room table

00:12:11where the poor old man can easily get at them?

00:12:13Consider it, aren't we?

00:12:14Most consider...

00:12:23Hello?

00:12:24Oh, of course.

00:12:26You start on the books and I...

00:12:28Who is it?

00:12:29Mrs. Wilson.

00:12:43Brandon.

00:12:55Brandon!

00:12:58What the devil?

00:12:59Don't you have any more sense than to...

00:13:02What is it?

00:13:04Go on, yank it out.

00:13:05I can't.

00:13:06If Mrs. Wilson were here, she'd yank it out for you.

00:13:09A stupid display like that in front of somebody else will be just as good as a confession.

00:13:13Now, take these and get a hold of yourself.

00:13:16If you'd let me keep the light on before as I'd wanted, I would have seen...

00:13:18All right!

00:13:19You're perfect.

00:13:20We have to be, Philip.

00:13:22We agreed there was only one crime either of us could commit.

00:13:25The crime of making a mistake.

00:13:27Being weak is a mistake.

00:13:30Because it's being human?

00:13:31Because it's being ordinary.

00:13:32I won't let either of us to...

00:13:44You owe me $2.40 for taxis, including the tip.

00:13:48To run for the traffic, I'd have been here a half hour ago.

00:13:50Oh, it's just as well.

00:13:51We didn't expect you back until now.

00:13:53Well, I went to five stores for that special patty we like.

00:13:56But the prices, huh?

00:13:57I didn't see any reason for throwing away our good money.

00:13:59So, I went downtown to that little delicatessen where Mr. Cadell goes.

00:14:03But I tell you, the next time we give a party, I'm only going to...

00:14:07Good evening, Mrs. Wilson.

00:14:13What, may I ask, is happening to my table?

00:14:15We're just moving the things in here.

00:14:19Well...

00:14:22I personally thought my table was quite lovely.

00:14:25Oh, it was quite lovely.

00:14:26But you see, Mr. Ketley's coming to look at these old books I had in the chest.

00:14:31And I'm sure you wouldn't want the poor old man to have to get down on his knees to see them.

00:14:38Well, I think it looks downright peculiar.

00:14:40Peculiar?

00:14:41Very.

00:14:42Particularly those candlesticks. They don't belong there at all.

00:14:44Well, on the contrary, I think they suggest a...

00:14:47A ceremonial altar, which you can heap with the foods for our sacrificial feast.

00:14:53Heap is right.

00:14:54Certainly isn't enough room for me to set things out properly.

00:14:56Is there, Mr. Fetley?

00:14:57Oh, you can make it, too.

00:14:58She'll be the death of me.

00:14:59Wants to be done with the books.

00:15:00Oh, we'll lay them out on the dining room table.

00:15:02What a crazy idea, if you ask me.

00:15:05Well, I have too much to do to discuss this thoroughly, dear, huh?

00:15:07However, I still think she's cute.

00:15:10What on earth's the matter?

00:15:11I was sure she'd notice.

00:15:12Notice what?

00:15:13The rope, of course.

00:15:15Brandon, we've got to hide it.

00:15:16Why?

00:15:17Why?

00:15:18Yes, why?

00:15:19It's only a piece of rope, Philip.

00:15:20An ordinary household article.

00:15:21Why hide it?

00:15:23Belongs in the kitchen drawer.

00:15:25Uh, Mrs. Wilson?

00:15:26Yes?

00:15:27There's, uh, champagne in the ice box.

00:15:28Oh, we're not giving them champagne.

00:15:29We are.

00:15:30Oh, well.

00:15:31Going to be that kind of party.

00:15:32I'd better dollop a little.

00:15:33We only sell champagne at Mr. Caddell's on very high occasions.

00:15:35Matter of fact, he and I once had a glass together on my birthday.

00:15:38Tonight, Mrs. Wilson, you'll have an opportunity to read to me here.

00:15:40Thank you, Miss.

00:15:41I'm sorry.

00:15:42I'm sorry, Miss.

00:15:43For a very minute, Mr. Caddell says it.

00:15:44What are you doing to do?

00:15:45I'm having all of you.

00:15:46Like I'm going to give you a little bit of a coffee.

00:15:47I'm having to drink the coffee.

00:15:48Bye.

00:15:49Bye.

00:15:50Bye.

00:15:51Bye-bye.

00:15:52Look.

00:15:53This is.

00:15:54I'm not sure I was having to have a coffee in a coffee shop,

00:15:55but I'm not sure the coffee shop, I would have to have a coffee shop since I'm

00:15:56cooking, even if I'm cooking day for dinner.

00:15:57Oh, it's a coffee shop.

00:15:58I'm having to eat a coffee shop.

00:15:59A matter of fact, he and I once had a glass together on my birthday.

00:16:03Tonight, Mrs. Wilson, you'll have an opportunity to renew that romance.

00:16:06May I?

00:16:08Mr. Cadell's coming.

00:16:10Oh, oh, my.

00:16:12Oh, Mr. Cadell's terribly nice.

00:16:14Rupert's coming?

00:16:14Oh, yes, I thought I told you.

00:16:16Oh, I must say, I did enjoy working for Mr. Cadell.

00:16:18No, you didn't.

00:16:19Such a gentleman.

00:16:20Of course, some people say he's a little peculiar, but I always think...

00:16:25Well, you might let me finish.

00:16:27I, uh, I thought you liked Rupert.

00:16:31I do.

00:16:32Well, then.

00:16:34Brandon, of all the people on this earth, Rupert Cadell is the one man most likely to suspect.

00:16:38He's the one man who might appreciate this from our angle, the artistic one.

00:16:41That's what's exciting.

00:16:42I'm glad it excites you.

00:16:43It frightens me.

00:16:44I know, Rupert.

00:16:44I suggest you keep your voice down.

00:16:47It would have been too easy with the others, Philip, and too dull.

00:16:50As for Rupert, I, uh, I once thought of inviting him to join us.

00:16:55Why didn't you?

00:16:55The more the merrier.

00:16:56Because he hasn't the nerve.

00:16:58Oh, intellectually, he could have come along.

00:16:59He's brilliant.

00:17:00But he's a little too, uh, fastidious.

00:17:02He could have invented and he could have admired, but he never could have acted.

00:17:05That's where we're superior, Philip.

00:17:07We have courage.

00:17:08Rupert doesn't.

00:17:08Now, Mr. Cadell got a bad leg in the wire for his courage.

00:17:11And you've got your sleeve in the celery, Mr. Philip.

00:17:13Oh, they're here.

00:17:16Are we ready?

00:17:17As ready as we'll ever be.

00:17:19Well, now, mind you, don't you be so busy at that piano that you don't eat anything.

00:17:22It's getting too thin.

00:17:24And don't you let them gobble up all that patty before you have any.

00:17:27Let's hope it's a success.

00:17:29Oh, my, my tray.

00:17:30Take it in the kitchen, Mrs. Wilson.

00:17:31I'll answer the door.

00:17:32There wouldn't be this last-minute hustle bustle.

00:17:34It's been kept my table and blood bones.

00:17:36Now, the fun begins.

00:17:44Oh, hello. Come in.

00:17:45How are you, Brent?

00:17:46Fine. Just put your hat there.

00:17:48Thank you.

00:17:49It's been quite a while, hasn't it?

00:17:50Yes. That's why I sounded so stupid on the phone.

00:17:53Surprised, I guess.

00:17:56Hello, Kenneth. Good to see you.

00:17:58You too. Been up too much lately?

00:18:00Oh, nothing to speak of.

00:18:01You?

00:18:02No, just try and get ready for exams.

00:18:04I always have to start cramming before everybody else.

00:18:07Am I the first?

00:18:08You are.

00:18:10Why is it I'm always too early at parties?

00:18:12Probably because you're always on time.

00:18:14Mrs. Wilson, champagne.

00:18:16Oh.

00:18:18It isn't someone's birthday, is it?

00:18:21Don't look so worried, Kenneth.

00:18:22It's really almost the opposite.

00:18:25The opposite?

00:18:26Philip's bidding the world a temporary farewell tonight.

00:18:28I'm driving him up to Connecticut after the party.

00:18:30Oh. Where are you going?

00:18:31Just to Brandon's mother's place for a few weeks.

00:18:34I'm to be locked up.

00:18:36What?

00:18:37To make sure he practices six hours a day.

00:18:39I finally wangled a debut for him.

00:18:41Town hall at that.

00:18:42That's wonderful.

00:18:43I hope you knock him dead.

00:18:45Thank you.

00:18:46Hmm.

00:18:48Most decorative.

00:18:50Think so?

00:18:53Hey.

00:18:54What is it?

00:18:55I feel pretty honored.

00:18:56Oh, why?

00:18:57Well, looks like a pretty small farewell party.

00:19:00Oh, well, we're really killing two birds with one stone.

00:19:03The party's also for Mr. Kentley.

00:19:05David's father?

00:19:06Yes.

00:19:08Oh.

00:19:09Is David going to be here?

00:19:11Of course.

00:19:13Who else is coming?

00:19:14Oh, no one.

00:19:15You don't know if that's what's bothering you.

00:19:16The Kentleys.

00:19:17Janet Walker.

00:19:19Janet.

00:19:19Yes.

00:19:21I, uh, I thought you'd be glad to see her.

00:19:25Won't you be?

00:19:26Brandon, Janet and I are all washed up.

00:19:29Didn't you know?

00:19:30Oh, I'm sorry.

00:19:31I didn't.

00:19:33You knew Philip.

00:19:34Oh, I heard vague rumors, but I never pay attention to that sort of thing.

00:19:39I wish I had.

00:19:40Why?

00:19:42Well, Janet and David are...

00:19:45Hello, Mrs. Wilson.

00:19:46May I help you so?

00:19:48And cheer up.

00:19:49I have the oddest feeling anyway that your chances with the young lady are much better than you think.

00:19:53What do you mean?

00:19:54Janet.

00:19:57Hello, Docs.

00:19:58Angel.

00:20:00Be careful of my hair.

00:20:01It took hours.

00:20:02You smell dreamy.

00:20:04What is it?

00:20:04That swirl you gave me last Christmas.

00:20:07I always knew I had good taste.

00:20:08You do.

00:20:09You look lovely.

00:20:10I won't by the time it's all paid for.

00:20:13Was that funny?

00:20:14I never know when I'm being funny.

00:20:16Whenever I try to be, I lay the bomb of all time.

00:20:19Philip, sweet.

00:20:20Hello.

00:20:21What's this rumor I hear about you in town hall?

00:20:24I bet you're going to play a foul trick on all of us and become horribly famous.

00:20:29I believe you've met.

00:20:33Hello, Ken.

00:20:34Hello, Jan.

00:20:36Well, that was fascinating, wasn't it?

00:20:39I seem to have run down.

00:20:40What would you say to some champagne?

00:20:44Hello, champagne.

00:20:46You see what I mean about trying to be funny?

00:20:49How have you been, Ken?

00:20:50Fine, thanks.

00:20:51How's the new job?

00:20:52What are you doing?

00:20:53Writing that same dreary column on how to keep the body beautiful.

00:20:57For whom this time?

00:20:58Oh, an untidy little magazine known as Allure.

00:21:01Thanks, chum.

00:21:07Oh, isn't that painting new?

00:21:09Yes, it is.

00:21:10Do you like it?

00:21:11Well, what is it?

00:21:12New young American primitive.

00:21:14I have a new young American sister.

00:21:16She's only three and her stuff is really primitive.

00:21:19You dirty dog.

00:21:23Didn't I notice another new one in the foyer when I came in?

00:21:26Well, I don't think so.

00:21:27Uh, which?

00:21:29Anyone else coming?

00:21:31Yes.

00:21:32Another old friend of yours.

00:21:34This.

00:21:37I could really strangle you, Brandon.

00:21:40What have I done now?

00:21:41At times, your sense of humor is a little too malicious, chum.

00:21:44What are you chattering about?

00:21:46Why did you invite Kenneth?

00:21:47Why not?

00:21:48You know perfectly well why not.

00:21:50We called it quits ages ago, and I'm practically engaged to his best friend.

00:21:54David?

00:21:55Yes, David.

00:21:56Which makes everything just ginger peachy.

00:21:59I'm terribly sorry, but it is a little difficult trying to keep up with your romances.

00:22:04After me came Kenneth.

00:22:06Now it's David.

00:22:08Why the switch from Kenneth to David anyway?

00:22:11Obviously, I think he's nicer.

00:22:13Well, he's certainly richer.

00:22:16That's a new low, even for you, chum.

00:22:20Give me a D in conduct.

00:22:22How's your drink doing?

00:22:23All right.

00:22:23How many years has it been since I said, oh, it tickles?

00:22:27Don't you tell me.

00:22:28I hear Rupert's coming.

00:22:29Well, he was invited, but you never know with Rupert.

00:22:31I hope he does come.

00:22:32How is he?

00:22:33Who is he?

00:22:33Rupert Caddell.

00:22:35He was our housemaster at prep school.

00:22:38Housemaster for you, three little dears.

00:22:40Four little dears.

00:22:41He tried valiantly to teach David, too.

00:22:44Rupert's a publisher now, isn't he?

00:22:45Successful.

00:22:46Maybe he can give me a job.

00:22:47Well, Rupert only publishes books he likes, usually philosophy.

00:22:52Oh, small print, big words, no sales.

00:22:55Right.

00:22:55Rupert's extremely radical.

00:22:57Do you know that he selects his books on the assumption that people not only can read,

00:23:02but actually can think?

00:23:03Curious fellow, but I like him.

00:23:05You always did.

00:23:06Golly, those bull sessions you and Rupert used to have at school.

00:23:09Brandon would sit up till all hours at the master's feet.

00:23:12Brandon at someone's feet.

00:23:14Who is this Rupert?

00:23:15He used to tell you the weirdest things, didn't he?

00:23:18Really?

00:23:18What sort of things?

00:23:19Well, I suppose Kenneth means Rupert's impatience with social conventions.

00:23:25For example, he thinks murder is a crime for most men, but...

00:23:30A privilege for the few.

00:23:33Yes.

00:23:34A privilege for the few.

00:23:35Well, I searched high and a line of authority.

00:23:37It's all right, Mrs. Wilson.

00:23:38I'll answer the door.

00:23:40Oh, Mr. Cat Lady, so glad you could come.

00:23:41Thank you, Brandon.

00:23:43Mrs. Kentley isn't well, so I took the liberty of bringing my sister to law, Mrs. Atwater.

00:23:47She's been staying with us.

00:23:48Oh, delighted to have you, Mrs. Atwater.

00:23:50Delighted to come, dear boy.

00:23:52I've been in New York two weeks.

00:23:54Alice has been ill almost the whole time, and Henry is forever cataloging his library.

00:24:00Oh, no, Anita.

00:24:00Occasionally, I even read one of my books.

00:24:03But I'm on a visit, Henry.

00:24:04This is just my second party.

00:24:07I suppose it's only fair than to say that.

00:24:09No, let me take your thing.

00:24:10Thank you.

00:24:10I'm sorry to hear Mrs. Kentley so well.

00:24:12Oh, it's just a cold.

00:24:13Oh, colds can be very dangerous this time of the year.

00:24:15I hope Mrs. Kentley's staying in bed with lots of fruit juice.

00:24:18She is, thank you.

00:24:19Well, that'll do the trick.

00:24:21Cold's dangerous in this heat.

00:24:23I don't understand that at all.

00:24:25Exactly two years ago this summer, I had one myself.

00:24:28I was down for us three weeks.

00:24:30The doctors were just about ready.

00:24:31This way, Mrs. Atwater.

00:24:33Particularly at parties.

00:24:35Particularly this.

00:24:36This is all the way over my head.

00:24:38David!

00:24:39Oh, no.

00:24:40This is, you've made a mistake.

00:24:42This is Kenneth Lawrence.

00:24:43Oh, I'm so sorry.

00:24:45Oh, that's all right, Anita.

00:24:46Kenneth is often mistaken for David, even by people who aren't near sighted.

00:24:50We haven't had much opportunity to observe the resemblance lately, my boy.

00:24:55You haven't been studying, have you?

00:24:57I've been trying to, sir.

00:24:58Oh, dear, the resemblance is only physical.

00:25:01I believe you both know Miss Walker.

00:25:03Janet, my dear.

00:25:05I finished working out your horoscope just before we came.

00:25:09Oh, tell.

00:25:10The stars are very kind.

00:25:13They indicate a marriage very soon.

00:25:16For tall, pear-haired young man.

00:25:18With a very lovely father.

00:25:21Oh, come and eat.

00:25:21I told you that a week ago.

00:25:23Oh, well, I suppose you did.

00:25:24But the stars confirm it.

00:25:27Wonderful.

00:25:27Mrs. Atwater, may I present Mr. Philip Morgan?

00:25:30How do you do?

00:25:31Oh, you've hurt your hand.

00:25:32Oh, it's nothing.

00:25:33Just a little cut.

00:25:33What happened?

00:25:34Nothing.

00:25:35The glass was cracked and it broke.

00:25:36That's all.

00:25:37May I get you some champagne, Mrs. Atwater?

00:25:38Oh, I should adore some.

00:25:40Daddy used to have a glass every morning at 11.

00:25:43But, of course, Henry doesn't like it.

00:25:46Mr. Kelly, may I get you some?

00:25:49Well, I'd prefer a little scotch with a lot of water, if you don't mind.

00:25:52Is David here?

00:25:55I expected him to come with you.

00:25:58He called and said that he'd meet us here.

00:26:00Where did he call from?

00:26:01Oh, our maid spoke to him.

00:26:03He was at the club studying for his examinations.

00:26:07Tennis.

00:26:09The trouble with David is he doesn't have to study.

00:26:11He's too bright.

00:26:12Well, David does all right, very much so.

00:26:14Thank you.

00:26:16How's Mrs. Kentley?

00:26:18As usual, it's a cold this time.

00:26:21I hope David arrives soon.

00:26:22She wants him to call her.

00:26:24David's her only child, Mr. Kentley.

00:26:27Well, he's my only child, too.

00:26:28But I'm willing to let him grow up.

00:26:30Why don't I call and tell her he's been detained?

00:26:32No, no, you mustn't pant her, Gary.

00:26:34David might even have stopped off to see her.

00:26:36Mr. Kentley?

00:26:37May I use the phone?

00:26:38Of course, it's in the bedroom.

00:26:39How cozy.

00:26:40Aren't you ready for another?

00:26:41I will be.

00:26:44I am, thank you.

00:26:47What a charming young man.

00:26:48I wish David saw more of you.

00:26:50Yes.

00:26:51I'll go and call.

00:26:54Kenneth, there's too much air in your glass.

00:26:56Oh, mine's fine, thanks.

00:26:58Would you mind taking this into Janet?

00:26:59Sure.

00:27:01Why?

00:27:01No particular reason.

00:27:02It's hers.

00:27:03I thought you'd like to take it into her.

00:27:05She's in the bedroom, telephoning.

00:27:06Then you'd like David to walk in.

00:27:08No, no, that'd be too much of a shock.

00:27:10When were you born?

00:27:12July 14th.

00:27:13Can you really tell my future from that?

00:27:15Of course, I'm only an amateur astrologer.

00:27:17I'm sure you're very good.

00:27:19I do my best.

00:27:20I suppose you want to know if your concert will be a success.

00:27:23Yes, I do.

00:27:25Let me see now.

00:27:26You were born on the 14th of July.

00:27:30You're cancer the craft.

00:27:32You're a moon child.

00:27:33You're very much influenced by the moon.

00:27:35May I see your hands?

00:27:37You don't remember the hour of your birth by any chance?

00:27:41No.

00:27:43Good fingers.

00:27:44Strong.

00:27:46Artistic.

00:27:48What about the concert?

00:27:49Well, I consider myself a very fortunate man today.

00:28:02I'm on hand for the grand opening.

00:28:04Of what?

00:28:05Of your collection, so to speak.

00:28:07Oh, yes, of course.

00:28:08You've got to play.

00:28:09How lovely.

00:28:11Your wife sends her love.

00:28:13David wasn't there?

00:28:14No, he'll probably be here in a minute, though.

00:28:16Your touch has improved, Philip.

00:28:37Rupert.

00:28:39I was beginning to think you weren't going to show.

00:28:42You know me better than that.

00:28:43Mrs. Atwater, may I present Mr. Rupert Cadell?

00:28:48Delighted.

00:28:48Thank you.

00:28:49Mr. Kentley.

00:28:50How do you do, Mr. Kentley?

00:28:51Rupert Cadell, the housemaster of Somerville.

00:28:54I used to be.

00:28:54Then you must have taught my son, David.

00:28:56Well, you flatter me.

00:28:58How do you do?

00:28:58Hello, chum.

00:28:59Oh, Miss Walker.

00:29:01How'd you know?

00:29:02Brandon's spoken of you.

00:29:03Did he do me justice?

00:29:05Do you deserve justice?

00:29:07Well, little Kenneth Lawrence.

00:29:10How you've grown?

00:29:11Hello.

00:29:11Oh, now, come, Kenneth.

00:29:13School's out.

00:29:14You can say it.

00:29:15Rupert, you're the same as ever.

00:29:16It's awfully good to see you again.

00:29:18Why?

00:29:20Well, don't mind me.

00:29:22Very pleased to see you again.

00:29:24And that bears a curious resemblance to champagne.

00:29:28It is.

00:29:28It's very good champagne, too.

00:29:30What's the occasion?

00:29:31Well, I told you on the phone.

00:29:32It began as a little party for Mr. Kentley, so he could look over those first editions.

00:29:37Then it turned out Philip and I were going up to the country.

00:29:40Yeah, you told me that, too, Brandon.

00:29:42Did I?

00:29:42Yeah.

00:29:43Well, I thought I'd make it sort of a farewell for Philip.

00:29:46Therefore, champagne.

00:29:48Yes.

00:29:48I see.

00:29:50It's true.

00:29:50You always did stutter when you were excited.

00:29:55Well, I guess I'm always excited when I give a party.

00:29:58Really?

00:29:58Mr. Goodell.

00:29:59Oh, Mrs. Wilson.

00:30:00Well, what have we here?

00:30:04I got that special patty, if I...

00:30:07I don't like it anymore.

00:30:08No, no, no.

00:30:09I'm just teasing.

00:30:10Just teasing.

00:30:11Oh, you're awful.

00:30:13Thank you.

00:30:14You'd better get along with the carving.

00:30:16The rest of the things will be here in two shakes.

00:30:19Oh, Mr. Brandon, I found it.

00:30:21I haven't the least notion what it was she lost.

00:30:24Wonderful, Mrs. Wilson.

00:30:27I may marry her.

00:30:28Oh, it looks heavenly.

00:30:31I hope David gets here soon.

00:30:32Yes, where is David?

00:30:33I haven't the faintest idea, but he's so late, Mr. Kentley's getting annoyed.

00:30:37And you?

00:30:39Me?

00:30:39I'm hungry.

00:30:41Brandon, exactly what is this?

00:30:43A cassone I got in Italy.

00:30:44No, no.

00:30:45I mean, why are we eating off of it?

00:30:46Oh, I've turned the dining room into a library.

00:30:50Trust you to find a new use for a chest.

00:30:52One was always turning up in the bedtime stories he told in prep school.

00:30:56The Mistletoe Bough.

00:30:59That was always your favorite tale, wasn't it?

00:31:01What was that one about?

00:31:03I don't remember exactly how it started.

00:31:05It was about a lovely young girl.

00:31:07She was a bride-to-be, and on her wedding day, she playfully hid herself in a chest.

00:31:11Yes, that's right.

00:31:12Unfortunately, it had a spring lock.

00:31:14Fifty years later, they found her skeleton.

00:31:17I don't think I'll get that playful.

00:31:18Would you all please help yourselves?

00:31:20Talking of skeletons.

00:31:21Have you seen that new thing at the Strand?

00:31:24Yes, I adored it.

00:31:25Did you?

00:31:26Good.

00:31:26I didn't like the new girl much.

00:31:28Definitely Scorpio.

00:31:30No, I didn't like her either, but her clothes were fabulous.

00:31:33Simply divine.

00:31:34Absolute heaven.

00:31:35I must see it.

00:31:37Of course, the man I have a passion for is James Mason.

00:31:39Is he good?

00:31:41Absolutely terrific.

00:31:42So attractively sinister.

00:31:44Tony's the bull, you know.

00:31:45Very obstinate.

00:31:47Really?

00:31:47But I have a confession to make.

00:31:49Do you know I think I like Mason as much as Harold Flynn?

00:31:53I'll take Cary Grant myself.

00:31:55Oh, so will I.

00:31:57Capricorn, the goat, he leaps.

00:31:59Divine.

00:32:00So much.

00:32:01Yes.

00:32:02Oh, absolutely.

00:32:03Oh, he was thrilling in that new thing with Bergman.

00:32:07What is it called now?

00:32:08The something of the something.

00:32:10No, no, that was the other one.

00:32:12This was just plain something.

00:32:14You know, it was sort of, you know.

00:32:16It was right on the tip of my tongue.

00:32:18Mine, too.

00:32:19It was just plain something, I'm sure.

00:32:20I adored it.

00:32:22And Bergman.

00:32:23She's the Virgo type.

00:32:25Like all these, you know.

00:32:27Oh, I think she's lovely.

00:32:29I once went to the movies.

00:32:31I saw Mary Pickford.

00:32:33I was mad about her.

00:32:35Didn't you love her?

00:32:36Oh, the Virgo type, rather.

00:32:38Like all these.

00:32:38Well, what did you see her in?

00:32:40I don't quite recall the something, something.

00:32:44Or was it just plain something?

00:32:47Or really, something rather like that.

00:32:49I don't believe you ever went.

00:32:52If I were you, I'd go easy on the patty, dear.

00:32:55Come on, Kenneth.

00:32:56Don't be polite.

00:32:58Philip, would you mind helping Mrs.

00:32:59Mrs. Atwater?

00:33:01I'd be glad to.

00:33:02You sit down, Mrs. Atwater.

00:33:03I'll bring it to you.

00:33:04Thank you so much, dear boy.

00:33:05I really must apologize for David.

00:33:07I can't think what's keeping him.

00:33:09Well, he's only in town for the weekend, Mr. Kenley.

00:33:10And David is a very popular young man.

00:33:12Here, let me help.

00:33:14White or dark?

00:33:15A little of both on this for Mrs. Atwater.

00:33:17What about you?

00:33:19I don't eat it.

00:33:21How queer.

00:33:22I never heard of anyone who didn't eat chicken.

00:33:23Did you, Brandon?

00:33:24Oh, you probably did.

00:33:27Why don't you eat it, Philip?

00:33:28I just don't.

00:33:30Well, now, there must be a reason.

00:33:31Freud says there's a reason for everything.

00:33:34Even me.

00:33:35There's no reason, Janet.

00:33:37Well, as I remember, Philip, you have a very funny reason.

00:33:40Doesn't he, Brandon?

00:33:41Yes.

00:33:41I knew there had to be one.

00:33:42Now, what is it?

00:33:43Oh, it's nothing too much.

00:33:45I think it's quite fascinating.

00:33:46Come on, Brandon, please.

00:33:47Well, it happened about three years ago in Connecticut.

00:33:51Mother has a place there, you know.

00:33:53We were going to have chickens, so we walked over to the farm.

00:33:57It was a lovely Sunday morning in late spring.

00:34:00Across the valley, the church bells were ringing.

00:34:03And in the yard, Philip was doing likewise to the necks of two or three chickens.

00:34:08Oh, dear.

00:34:09It was a task he usually performed very competently.

00:34:12But on this particular morning, his touch was perhaps a trifle too delicate.

00:34:16Because one of the subjects for our dinner table suddenly rebelled.

00:34:20Like Lazarus, he rose and...

00:34:21That's a lie!

00:34:22Philip!

00:34:22There's no word of truth in the whole story.

00:34:27I never strangled a chicken in my life.

00:34:29Now, look here, Philip.

00:34:29I never strangled a chicken, and you know it.

00:34:33Forgive me.

00:34:35But it just seemed very funny, you two being so intense about an old dead chicken.

00:34:40Sorry.

00:34:40We were ridiculous and very rude.

00:34:43I apologize for both of us and the story.

00:34:46Well.

00:34:49Is it all over?

00:34:51I'm afraid so, Rupert.

00:34:52Oh, what a pity.

00:34:54In another moment, you might have been strangling each other instead of a chicken.

00:34:58Mr. Goodell, really?

00:34:59No, but a man's honor was at stake.

00:35:01And personally, I think a chicken is as good a reason for murder as a blonde, a mattress full of dollar bills, or any of the customary, unimaginative reasons.

00:35:13Now, you don't really approve of murder, Rupert, if I may.

00:35:17You may, and I do.

00:35:18Think of the problems it would solve.

00:35:20Unemployment, poverty, standing in line for theater tickets.

00:35:25I must say I've had a perfectly dreadful time getting tickets for that new musical.

00:35:30What's it called?

00:35:31You know.

00:35:32The something with what's-her-name thing.

00:35:35My dear Miss Atwater, careful application of the trigger finger and a pair of seats in the first row is yours for the shooting.

00:35:42And have you had any difficulty in getting into our velvet rope restaurants?

00:35:46Frightful.

00:35:47A very simple matter.

00:35:48A flick of the knife, madame.

00:35:51And if you'll kindly step this way.

00:35:53Oh, no, a step over the head waiter's body.

00:35:56Thank you.

00:35:57And here's your table.

00:35:58Rupert, you're the end.

00:36:01There's a hotel clerk I could cheerfully flick a knife at.

00:36:04Oh, no, sorry.

00:36:05Knives may not be used on hotel employees.

00:36:08They are in the death by slow torture category.

00:36:11Along with bird lovers, small children, and tap dancers.

00:36:17Landlords, of course, are another matter.

00:36:19You're seeking an apartment?

00:36:20Call on our Miss Sashwaite of the Blunt Instrument Department.

00:36:24What a divine idea.

00:36:27If it suits your purpose merely, then we'd all be murdering each other.

00:36:34Oh, no.

00:36:35After all, murder is, or should be, an art.

00:36:40Not one of the seven lively, perhaps, but an art, nevertheless.

00:36:43And as such, the privilege of committing it should be reserved for those few who are really superior individuals.

00:36:52And the victims, inferior beings whose lives are unimportant anyway.

00:36:56Obviously.

00:36:57Now, mind you, I don't hold with the extremists who feel that there should be open season for murder all year round.

00:37:02No, personally, I would prefer to have cut-a-throat week, or strangulation day.

00:37:12Probably a symptom of approaching senility, but I must confess, I really don't appreciate this morbid humor.

00:37:19Well, the humor was unintentional.

00:37:21But you're not serious about these theories.

00:37:23Of course he is.

00:37:24Oh, you're both pulling my leg.

00:37:25No, why do you think that?

00:37:26Well, Brandon, the notion that murder is an art which a few superior beings should be allowed to practice.

00:37:32In season.

00:37:34Now, I know you're not serious.

00:37:35But I am.

00:37:37I'm a very serious fellow.

00:37:38Then may I ask, who is to decide that a human being is inferior and is therefore a suitable victim for murder?

00:37:43The few who are privileged to commit murder.

00:37:45And just who might they be?

00:37:49Oh, myself.

00:37:51Philip.

00:37:53Possibly Rupert.

00:37:54I'm sorry, Kenneth, you're out.

00:37:57Gentlemen, I'm serious.

00:37:58So are we, Mr. Cantley.

00:37:59The few are those men of such intellectual and cultural superiority that they're above the traditional moral concepts.

00:38:06Good and evil, right and wrong, were invented for the ordinary average man, the inferior man, because he needs them.

00:38:12But obviously you agree with Nietzsche in his theory of the Superman.

00:38:14Yes, I do.

00:38:15So did Hitler.

00:38:16Hitler was a paranoic savage.

00:38:18His supermen, all fascist supermen, were brainless murderers.

00:38:21I'd hang anywhere left.

00:38:23But then you see, I'd hang them first for being stupid.

00:38:26I'd hang all incompetents and fools anyway, the far too many in the world.

00:38:31Then perhaps you should hang me, Brandon, for I confess I'm so stupid I don't know whether you're all serious or not.

00:38:35But in any case, I'd rather not hear any more of your, forgive me, contempt for humanity and for the standards of a world that I believe is civilized.

00:38:44Civilized?

00:38:44Yes.

00:38:45Perhaps what is called civilization is hypocrisy.

00:38:47Perhaps.

00:38:47Well, I'm sure Rupert, fortunately, has the intelligence and imagination to...

00:38:52Jesus, Brandon, I think we've had just about enough.

00:38:58Philip, where did you put those books you set out for Mr. Kentley?

00:39:01I'd very much like to see them myself, if I may.

00:39:03Of course, sir, in the dining room.

00:39:05Mr. Kentley, wouldn't you like to see the books now?

00:39:08I apologize, sir.

00:39:10Again, I'm afraid I let myself get carried away.

00:39:13Oh, that's quite all right, my boy.

00:39:16I think it's a good collection.

00:39:17Her first editions, I mean.

00:39:19Yes, I'd like to see them.

00:39:21May I use the telephone first?

00:39:22I'd like to talk to my wife.

00:39:23She may have some words, David.

00:39:25Of course, it's this one.

00:39:26Oh, dear, dear, I'm afraid.

00:39:28Ah, Brandon.

00:39:31Yes?

00:39:31Well, thank you.

00:39:32You were really pushing your point rather hard.

00:39:35You aren't planning to do away with a few inferiors by any chance.

00:39:39I'm a creature of whim.

00:39:41Who knows?

00:39:42I see.

00:39:42I think he's definitely Scorpio.

00:39:44I know exactly what you mean.

00:39:45Ah, Mrs. Atwater, wouldn't you like to see the books?

00:39:49Oh, I love it.

00:39:51You know, when I was a girl, I used to read quite a bit.

00:39:54Oh, we all do strange things in our childhood.

00:39:56We do.

00:39:57We're getting older.

00:39:58That's it.

00:39:58What do you think of the books?

00:40:00Kenneth, why don't you switch on the radio or play some records?

00:40:04A little atmospheric music goes a long way.

00:40:07He's such a sly little devil, isn't he?

00:40:13Bringing us back together again with sweet music.

00:40:16Don't let it get you.

00:40:18He's always doing something like this.

00:40:20I'm going in the other room.

00:40:21To see the books?

00:40:22No, to let Brandon see me.

00:40:24Do you care what he thinks?

00:40:26I know what he thinks.

00:40:27He thinks I threw you over because David has a bigger bank account.

00:40:32Then why do you go?

00:40:33Oh, because I'm embarrassed at being here with you.

00:40:39Oh, Janet.

00:40:41Never thought I could be, did you?

00:40:43Honestly?

00:40:45No.

00:40:46Well, I am.

00:40:48I don't like it one bit.

00:40:50I should think you'd have the decency to be embarrassed yourself.

00:40:54Why?

00:40:55Well, you threw me over, John, remember?

00:40:58My, wouldn't friend Brandon love to know that?

00:41:05What's the matter?

00:41:06Nothing.

00:41:07I'm just thinking.

00:41:09What about?

00:41:10Female vanity.

00:41:13Well, I'm also embarrassed because...

00:41:17Go on.

00:41:19Well, you and David used to be such good friends, and you're not now.

00:41:22It's my fault.

00:41:23I'm such an idiot, girl.

00:41:25No, you're not.

00:41:26Then I'm certainly giving a good imitation of one.

00:41:30Why must I try and be so smart with everyone but David?

00:41:33Don't you kid with David, too?

00:41:37I relax with David.

00:41:39Thanks to you.

00:41:41To me?

00:41:42Yes.

00:41:44That...

00:41:45That grim Sunday at Harvard, when you called it quits,

00:41:51David took me for a walk.

00:41:52My chin was about an inch from the ground.

00:41:56I just couldn't be the gay girl.

00:41:59I just relaxed and let everything pour out.

00:42:05And the real, real me stuff.

00:42:08Did you hear that little phrase?

00:42:09I hear myself saying things like that.

00:42:12Oh, where's David?

00:42:13You know, I'm not very smart.

00:42:18Why?

00:42:20I never realized you were...

00:42:24Brandon and his atmospheric music.

00:42:27You are in love with David, aren't you?

00:42:31Yes.

00:42:33I don't get it.

00:42:35Get what?

00:42:36Brandon made a crack when I got here.

00:42:37Well, he sort of implied I'd have a better chance with you again

00:42:40because David would be out of the running.

00:42:41Wait.

00:42:42You mean before I got here, Brandon knew we had broken...

00:42:45He even knew about you and David.

00:42:46What?

00:42:48Kenneth, he pretended to be completely ignorant when I told him.

00:42:51He said...

00:42:51What's going on here, anyway?

00:42:52I don't know, but I'm going to find out once and for all.

00:42:57Brandon.

00:42:58Yes?

00:42:58May I see you for a moment?

00:43:00Certainly.

00:43:00Why can't he keep his hands off people?

00:43:03Mr. Kendrick.

00:43:04Well?

00:43:04Just exactly what are you up to, Chum?

00:43:09I'm up to getting you a coffee, if you like.

00:43:10Let's dispense with the charm.

00:43:12I'd like to know why you had the gall to tell Kenneth.

00:43:14He wouldn't have to worry very much longer about David and me.

00:43:17I don't think that's precisely what I said, Kenneth.

00:43:19It's what you implied, and I want to know why.

00:43:21Some women are quite charming when they're angry, Janet.

00:43:25Unfortunately, you're not.

00:43:26Cut that out, Brandon.

00:43:27Well, chivalry rears its ugly head.

00:43:29I don't believe David's coming.

00:43:31Wait and see.

00:43:31I don't have to.

00:43:33He's never this late.

00:43:34He's never late at all.

00:43:35And if something had come up, he'd have phoned.

00:43:37I think you deliberately arranged it so that he wouldn't come.

00:43:40How clever of me.

00:43:42I might have known you couldn't just give a party for Mr. Kendrick.

00:43:45No, you'd have to add something that appealed to your warped sense of humor.

00:43:49Well, I hope you've enjoyed yourself, Brandon.

00:43:51I haven't.

00:43:54It's really impossible.

00:43:56Shouldn't let him upset you so, Janet.

00:43:57Something gone wrong, Brandon?

00:43:59No.

00:44:00Janet just has a talent for being bothersome at times.

00:44:02However, I suppose I'd better...

00:44:05What did you mean, something gone wrong?

00:44:11Well, you always plan your party so well, it's odd to have anything go wrong.

00:44:15She seems to be missing David.

00:44:17As a matter of fact, I'm beginning to miss him myself.

00:44:23Aren't we all?

00:44:25Two desserts, Mr. Cadell?

00:44:28One for you and one for me, my love.

00:44:30Oh, Mr. C.

00:44:31Well, the others don't seem to be in the mood for ice cream.

00:44:34No, though they could all do with a little cooling off.

00:44:38My, it's a peculiar party.

00:44:39Not that that surprises me.

00:44:42Why not?

00:44:43I could have predicted it this morning.

00:44:45Both of them must have got up out of the wrong side of the bed.

00:44:47They've been in the state all day.

00:44:49Oh, Mr. Brandon says he's always in the state when he gives a party.

00:44:52It's the first time I've seen it.

00:44:54Usually, he lets me prepare everything in my own way.

00:44:56But look at this.

00:44:58Chicken's hardly been touched.

00:45:00Oh, what was so different today?

00:45:01What wasn't?

00:45:02Mr. Brandon was in a maddest rush for me to clean up and get the table set.

00:45:06And, oh, it looked so lovely.

00:45:08But then when I was whisking out to do the shopping,

00:45:11he suddenly told me to take the whole afternoon for it.

00:45:14The whole afternoon.

00:45:16After that mad rush in the morning.

00:45:18Did he say why?

00:45:19No, just a whim, I suppose.

00:45:21But when I came back, he and Mr. Phillip were going at it hammer and toss.

00:45:27What about?

00:45:27Well, now, Mr. Goodell, even if I did know, do you think I'd tell?

00:45:32Well, I hope so.

00:45:34Not me.

00:45:35Really?

00:45:35I'm like the grave.

00:45:36Look at this, Nis.

00:45:37Just makes double the work.

00:45:39After I had this cleaned off, I just had to clear all those books off the dining room table,

00:45:45bring them in here, and put them back in the chest,

00:45:48which is where they were in the first place.

00:45:49Why did you serve from here, anyway?

00:45:51It wasn't my idea.

00:45:52I had everything laid out in the dining room, and it was just beautiful.

00:45:57I had a, of course, I had a nice day as they have a floor.

00:46:00I didn't think of it.

00:46:01I was like, oh, Mary, do you ever think of anything that broke a foot?

00:46:06Mary, well, I've been the day before.

00:46:08Mary, yes.

00:46:10But you saw a bunch of stuff on the plates, yourself.

00:46:12Where are the healthy self-students?

00:46:13Is she still harping on her table and how awkward it is to serve from this?

00:46:18But it's really much more convenient, you know.

00:46:20Because this way, people don't have to go all the way into the dining room to get their food

00:46:23and come all the way back here to eat.

00:46:25Hmm.

00:46:25Seems to me they've gone all the way in there now for their dessert and coffee.

00:46:29Mrs. Wilson, please serve the guests.

00:46:31Don't lecture.

00:46:36We did get up on the wrong side of the bed, didn't we?

00:46:39I'm in quite an embarrassing position.

00:46:57How do you mean?

00:46:58Well, I seem to be the only one having a good time.

00:47:02You and Mrs. Atwater?

00:47:03What's going on, Philip?

00:47:09Would you mind turning that off?

00:47:12Sorry.

00:47:14I don't like to play with light in my eyes.

00:47:20You know, Philip,

00:47:22I get quite intrigued when people don't answer questions.

00:47:26I'm quite curious.

00:47:28Did you ask me a question?

00:47:29Yes, Philip, I asked you a question.

00:47:33Well, what was it?

00:47:38I asked you what is going on here.

00:47:42A party?

00:47:43Yes, but a rather peculiar party.

00:47:47What's it all about, Philip?

00:47:49What's what all about?

00:47:51Stop playing crime and punishment, Rupert.

00:47:53You want to know something, come out with it.

00:47:54Otherwise...

00:47:55No, no, temper, temper.

00:47:57Now, don't stop.

00:47:58I'd like a drink.

00:47:59Wait, I'll get it for you.

00:48:00Keep playing.

00:48:01What would you like, scotch?

00:48:02No, brandy.

00:48:09You're very fond of that little tune, aren't you?

00:48:13You know, Philip,

00:48:14I wish I could come straight out with what I want to know.

00:48:17Unfortunately, I don't know anything.

00:48:19I don't know anything.

00:48:20but I merely suspect.

00:48:25I said that I heard you.

00:48:27Is this all right?

00:48:28Thank you.

00:48:28You use this?

00:48:39Sometimes.

00:48:40I thought only beginners did.

00:48:41I must say...

00:48:42I must say...

00:48:43All right, Rupert.

00:48:44I'll ask you.

00:48:46What do you suspect?

00:48:49Oh, I've forgotten.

00:48:52Where's David, Philip?

00:48:53I don't know.

00:48:54I don't know.

00:48:55I don't know.

00:48:56I don't know.

00:48:57Why don't you ask Brandon?

00:48:58I have.

00:48:59But he's too busy maneuvering the other two points of the triangle.

00:49:01What for, Philip?

00:49:03Just what is Brandon trying to do with Janet and Kenneth?

00:49:06What's the matter?

00:49:08What are you laughing about?

00:49:09Nothing, Bill.

00:49:10What am I so far off the track?

00:49:11There's nothing going on at all, Rupert.

00:49:14You're, uh...

00:49:15You're, uh...

00:49:16You're, uh...

00:49:17You're, uh...

00:49:18...and you're not afraid to have.

00:49:19I have.

00:49:20But he's too busy maneuvering the other two points of the triangle.

00:49:23What for, Philip?

00:49:24Just what is Brandon trying to do with Janet and Kenneth?

00:49:27What's the matter?

00:49:28What are you laughing about?

00:49:29Nothing, Bill.

00:49:30What is...

00:49:31What am I so far off the track?

00:49:32You're, uh...

00:49:35More than usually allergic to the truth tonight, Philip.

00:49:38That's the second time you haven't told it.

00:49:40Thanks.

00:49:41When was the first?

00:49:42When you said you'd never strangle a chicken.

00:49:46You're confused.

00:49:47Brandon dreamt that up.

00:49:49For the sake of a very unfunny joke.

00:49:51No, he didn't.

00:49:52No, he didn't, Philip.

00:49:54And if you'll think back very carefully, you'll realize that I know he didn't.

00:49:59About a year ago, I was up at the farm, do you remember?

00:50:06One morning I saw you display your handiwork.

00:50:10You're quite a good chicken strangler, as I recall.

00:50:14Well, I...

00:50:15I just meant that Brandon's story wasn't true.

00:50:17I...

00:50:18I didn't mean I hadn't killed any chickens.

00:50:19That's what you said.

00:50:20Well, I...

00:50:21I didn't think it was a suitable topic of conversation while we were eating.

00:50:23You could have said that.

00:50:24All right, I didn't.

00:50:25We're not eating now, Philip.

00:50:26What did you lie to me for?

00:50:27Because I don't like to talk about...

00:50:29About what?

00:50:30Strangling chicken?

00:50:31I can't play with that thing.

00:50:32I want you to have them very much.

00:50:33It's extremely generous of you, Brandon.

00:50:35I don't know...

00:50:36Please, I know you appreciate first editions far more than I, Mr. Kenley.

00:50:39It's really very nice of you, Brandon.

00:50:41What's wrong?

00:50:42You and Philip must come to dinner, that is...

00:50:44What's wrong?

00:50:45I'll...

00:50:46Don't you want Mr. Kenley to have the books?

00:50:48No.

00:50:49I mean, I don't care if he has them.

00:50:50I just...

00:50:51And no word from David.

00:50:52I just think it's a clumsy way of tying them up, that's all.

00:50:54You're all right.

00:50:55David never had any trouble taking care of himself.

00:50:57I know, but I cannot understand this.

00:50:59Whenever he's been detained before, he's teleported me from that so, Dennis.

00:51:02Oh, yes.

00:51:03He's always been after me to be more punctual.

00:51:05And well he might.

00:51:06Oh, you wouldn't know me these days.

00:51:08I'm a new woman.

00:51:09Punctual as a clock.

00:51:10Oh, that's very unfeminine, my dear.

00:51:12Perhaps.

00:51:13But I prefer manners.

00:51:14I mean...

00:51:15Oh, Henry, you sound just like that.

00:51:17I remember once when David was very tall.

00:51:20Take it easy, Philip.

00:51:23Rupert's on to something.

00:51:25He isn't.

00:51:26Now let up.

00:51:27Have a drink, Brandon.

00:51:28Take your hand off my arm.

00:51:30Don't you ever again tell me what to do and what not to do.

00:51:35I don't like it, Brandon.

00:51:36And I'm not going to...

00:51:37You're going to take that voice down.

00:51:38I, uh...

00:51:39I hope I didn't upset Philip.

00:51:42You'll never listen to Philip.

00:51:43No, no.

00:51:44He's more likely mixing his drinks.

00:51:46You seem rather upset yourself.

00:51:48To what?

00:51:49Yes.

00:51:50There's something upsetting both of you a great deal.

00:51:53Something that, uh...

00:51:54Excuse me, sir.

00:51:56There's a lady phoning for either Mr. Kentley or Mrs. Atwater.

00:52:01Oh, it must be at it.

00:52:02I'll talk to her, Henry.

00:52:04All right.

00:52:05Down the hall to your left, dear.

00:52:06Thank you.

00:52:07The first bedroom.

00:52:08Mr. Kentley, do you suppose David could possibly be home?

00:52:11I don't know, Janet.

00:52:12I hope so.

00:52:13I, uh, hate to throw a damper, but if David was home, I should think he'd be calling instead of Mrs. Kentley.

00:52:19Wouldn't you say so, Brandon?

00:52:20I wouldn't know.

00:52:21David, I remember, was very polite as well as very punctual.

00:52:25He hasn't changed.

00:52:27Of course.

00:52:28If he's not at home, where could he be?

00:52:30Don't ask me.

00:52:31I don't know.

00:52:32He might be any number of places.

00:52:34Such as the club or the Bradleys are giving a party.

00:52:38Or maybe he went down to Janet's.

00:52:40Why?

00:52:41Perhaps he decided to pick her up after all.

00:52:43I phoned my place after I spoke with Mrs. Kentley.

00:52:45He wasn't there?

00:52:46No.

00:52:47I left a message just in case, but...

00:52:48We might have a better chance of finding out where he is now if we knew where he was this afternoon.

00:52:53What do you think, Brandon?

00:52:54I haven't the least idea where he was this afternoon.

00:52:56But don't you think it would help if we found out where he was?

00:52:59I suppose so.

00:53:01I know he went to the club this afternoon to play tennis and I know that he got there.

00:53:05Why?

00:53:06Because someone phoned from there with a message that David would meet us here.

00:53:09What, do you know who gave the message?

00:53:11No.

00:53:12Well then, obviously, David ran into someone at the club who changed his plans.

00:53:17You weren't there this afternoon by any chance, were you, Kenneth?

00:53:19No.

00:53:20I wish I had been.

00:53:21I don't suppose you or Brandon were, Philip?

00:53:24No.

00:53:25Hardly.

00:53:26We had our hands full getting ready for the party.

00:53:27Oh, there was a lot to be done this afternoon.

00:53:29You know.

00:53:30Yes.

00:53:31You didn't speak to David at all today?

00:53:35No.

00:53:36Why do you ask?

00:53:37Well, I just thought that perhaps he might have called to say he'd be late or something.

00:53:41He didn't.

00:53:42Well, neither Philip nor I have talked to David since the day we invited him to the party.

00:53:46That's odd.

00:53:47What do you mean?

00:53:48I thought I heard David on the phone to Philip yesterday morning.

00:53:52Really?

00:53:53Yes, you did.

00:53:54I'd forgotten.

00:53:55Oh, what were you talking to him about?

00:53:57Did he call about the party?

00:53:58Yes.

00:53:59He wanted to make sure about the time.

00:54:00That was all.

00:54:01Here, I'll help you with that.

00:54:03Oh, thank you, Mr. Cadet.

00:54:05That's all right, Mrs. Wilson.

00:54:08You can put the books back when you come in to clean in the morning.

00:54:11Well, I didn't have any idea of coming in in the morning.

00:54:13Well, I'm afraid you have to.

00:54:15Just let the books go for now.

00:54:17Well, all right.

00:54:21Henry, Alice hasn't had a word from David.

00:54:25She's frantic.

00:54:26I'd better talk to her.

00:54:27She hung up.

00:54:29She began to cry so badly.

00:54:31Oh, Henry, I'm worried.

00:54:32What did she say?

00:54:34She's been calling every place he might be.

00:54:36Not once, but several times.

00:54:38And now, Henry, she thinks he may have had an accident.

00:54:42She wants you to call the police.

00:54:44The police?

00:54:45Oh, no, Anita.

00:54:47I don't think that's necessary.

00:54:49David's no longer a child.

00:54:51I'm quite sure he's all right.

00:54:53I...

00:54:54Randall, I think I'd better go home.

00:54:57My wife needs me.

00:54:59This isn't like David.

00:55:01He...

00:55:02Oh, of course.

00:55:03I understand.

00:55:04May I go with you, Mr. Kentley?

00:55:06Thank you, Janet.

00:55:07I'll get your thanks.

00:55:08Thank you.

00:55:09Oh, Mr. Kentley.

00:55:10Your books.

00:55:11Oh.

00:55:12Oh, yes.

00:55:13Thank you.

00:55:14I can't tell you how sorry I am.

00:55:16Would you call me as soon as you hear from David?

00:55:18Be glad to.

00:55:19I'm sure the dear boy will turn up somehow.

00:55:22Of course he will.

00:55:23Janet.

00:55:24Yes?

00:55:25This is hardly the time, but I'm very glad we had that talk.

00:55:28So am I.

00:55:30And David will be, too.

00:55:32Good.

00:55:33Well...

00:55:34Kenneth, why don't you come along with us?

00:55:36Oh, I don't...

00:55:37Please.

00:55:38Thanks.

00:55:39This yours, Janet?

00:55:40Yes.

00:55:41I'll just carry it.

00:55:43Oh.

00:55:44Thanks.

00:55:45I'll get my hat.

00:55:46Oh, going with Janet?

00:55:47Yes.

00:55:48We're all going together.

00:55:49What did I predict?

00:55:51Oh, good night, Mr. Kentley.

00:55:53I hope Mrs. Kentley's feeling better very soon.

00:55:55Thank you.

00:55:56Uh, you will call me the moment you hear from David.

00:55:58I will.

00:55:59Say good night to Philip Forrest.

00:56:00I'll get your hat, Mr. Cadell.

00:56:01Mrs. Atwater, thank you so much for coming.

00:56:03Thank you for listening to David.

00:56:04I will.

00:56:05Say good night to Philip Forrest.

00:56:06I'll get your hat, Mr. Cadell.

00:56:07Mrs. Atwater, thank you so much for coming.

00:56:08Thank you for letting me come.

00:56:10I'm so sorry we have to leave.

00:56:12Bye.

00:56:13Good night.

00:56:14Good night.

00:56:15That's not yours.

00:56:17I'm very sorry we had to spoil it.

00:56:21You couldn't possibly spoil it, Mr. Kentley.

00:56:23Well, I meant by leaving so early.

00:56:25Good night.

00:56:26Be careful.

00:56:27Here we are.

00:56:28I'm all right then.

00:56:29Good night, Mr. Cadell.

00:56:31Good night, Mr. Cadell.

00:56:33Oh, you going too?

00:56:34Yes.

00:56:35Yes, I'm lost.

00:56:36Good night.

00:56:37Good night.

00:56:38Can I help you with those books, Mr. Kentley?

00:56:40Thanks.

00:56:41Thank you for a lovely evening.

00:56:42Good night, good night.

00:56:43It's been charming.

00:56:44Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:56:45Oh, Philip.

00:56:46This party really deserves to come.

00:56:47Thank you for a lovely evening.

00:56:49Good night, good night.

00:56:51It's been charming.

00:56:52Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:56:53Oh, Philip.

00:56:54This party really deserves to go down in history.

00:56:56Well, come on.

00:56:57It's over.

00:56:58And it couldn't have gone more beautifully.

00:56:59Yes, it could.

00:57:00Without Rupert.

00:57:01Oh, but he was brilliant.

00:57:02He helped me say all the things I've wanted to say to those idiots.

00:57:03He gave the party the very touch I predicted.

00:57:04The touch of what?

00:57:05Prying?

00:57:06Snooping?

00:57:07Or just plain pumping?

00:57:08Do you know how busy he was questioning me?

00:57:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:57:14What a difference?

00:57:15You were busy in there arranging that other little touch of yours.

00:57:17What touch?

00:57:18Oh, you very much?

00:57:19You know, I've got to mention that, sir.

00:57:20It's the best thing I've talked to you about.

00:57:22You've got to get out of the house.

00:57:25No, no, you must have to get out of history.

00:57:26No, you can't.

00:57:27Wow.

00:57:28I'm going to get out of history.

00:57:29Well, come on.

00:57:30It's over.

00:57:31And it couldn't have gone more beautifully.

00:57:32Yes, it could.

00:57:33Without Rupert.

00:57:34But he was brilliant.

00:57:35He helped me say all the things I've wanted to say to those idiots.

00:57:37He gave the party the very touch I predicted.

00:57:38The touch of what?

00:57:39Prying?

00:57:40Snooping?

00:57:41Or just plain pumping?

00:57:43Qu'est-ce que ça ?

00:57:44C'est un des livres.

00:57:46Oh, je pensais que c'était génial.

00:57:48Tu n'as pas aimé ?

00:57:49Non, je n'ai pas aimé.

00:57:50Un peu.

00:57:51Il y a tout.

00:57:52Il y a tout.

00:57:53C'est quiet.

00:57:54Mrs. Wilson est encore là-dessus.

00:57:58Vous êtes déterminé à être drôle, non ?

00:58:01Je suis drôle.

00:58:03Et c'est juste comme ça que vous étiez avant,

00:58:05quand vous m'a dit un liar.

00:58:06Vous n'avez pas besoin de vous dire ça.

00:58:08Pourquoi vous étiez-vous ?

00:58:09Je m'ai dû.

00:58:11Est-ce que vous étiez en train de comprendre

00:58:14comment quelqu'un peut se sentir ?

00:58:15Je ne suis pas sentimentale.

00:58:17Non, ce n'est pas ce que je veux,

00:58:18mais ça ne s'agit pas.

00:58:19Ça ne s'agit pas.

00:58:20Ça ne s'agit pas.

00:58:21Mais que Mr. Brandon aimait le déjeuner.

00:58:23Mr. Brandon aimait le déjeuner.

00:58:25Mr. Brandon aimait le déjeuner.

00:58:26Mr. Brandon aimait le déjeuner.

00:58:28Alors, j'ai un déjeuner déjeuner.

00:58:31Continue à dormir,

00:58:32et vous allez avoir une journée worse.

00:58:34Au moins, si j'ai un déjeuner,

00:58:36c'est tout pour moi.

00:58:38Vous savez, Philippe,

00:58:40je pense que nous devons un déjeuner

00:58:43un déjeuner après tout le déjeuner.

00:58:44Où est-ce que vous voulez ?

00:58:46Bien sûr, je pense que nous devons revenir

00:58:48un peu d'un déjeuner,

00:58:49sinon c'est peut-être un peu comme...

00:58:51J'ai pensé que je devrais réunir

00:58:52et trouver que nous n'avons pas encore.

00:58:54Mais pourquoi ?

00:58:58Je suis désolé, Brandon.

00:59:00Je pense que nous devons être déjeuner.

00:59:03Oh, il n'y a pas d'un déjeuner.

00:59:05Il n'y a pas d'un déjeuner,

00:59:06mais pas encore.

00:59:07Nous...

00:59:10Est-ce que vous, Mrs. Wilson ?

00:59:12Oui.

00:59:13Je vais vous demander un déjeuner

00:59:14dans le matin.

00:59:15C'est-à-dire,

00:59:16si vous êtes en train d'un déjeuner

00:59:17à la maison.

00:59:18Nous sommes en train d'un déjeuner.

00:59:19C'est bon.

00:59:21Vous n'êtes pas trop bien,

00:59:22d'un déjeuner.

00:59:23Oh, merci.

00:59:24Bien sûr, je peux faire avec le reste

00:59:25moi-même.

00:59:26Mais je veux que vous de tous

00:59:27vous venez de retourner

00:59:28à la forme.

00:59:29Nous allons.

00:59:30Alors, je suis en train d'un déjeuner.

00:59:32N'oubliez pas d'un déjeuner.

00:59:34Et ne mindez pas d'un déjeuner.

00:59:36Oui.

00:59:43Qui est-à-dire ?

00:59:45C'est-à-dire le garage.

00:59:48Bonjour, c'est M. Brandon Shaw.

00:59:50Pouvez-à-dire mon voiture ?

00:59:52Oui, c'est-à-dire, merci.

01:00:00Oui, c'est-à-dire mon voiture.

01:00:01Oui.

01:00:02Non, c'est-à-dire que j'ai pas de retourné.

01:00:03Oui.

01:00:16On s'en dessous.

01:00:18Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada

01:00:48Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada

01:01:18Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada

01:01:48No, but we'll find it in no time

01:01:52Right

01:01:54Philip, Philip, listen to me

01:02:06Rupert's on his way up now

01:02:08And you've got to pull yourself together

01:02:09Philip, did you hear me?

01:02:13Come on, have another drink if you must

01:02:16But get hold of yourself

01:02:17And keep your mouth shut

01:02:19It'll be over in five minutes

01:02:22I don't know how much

01:02:25If anything, Rupert knows

01:02:26But I promise you

01:02:28He'll be out of here in five minutes

01:02:30One way or the other

01:02:31Philip, for those five minutes

01:02:34You've got to pull yourself together

01:02:37Brandon, Brent

01:02:38Oh, look

01:02:39I'm not going to get caught

01:02:42Because of you

01:02:43Or anyone else

01:02:44No one is going to get in my way now

01:02:47It's not loaded, is it?

01:03:16Sorry to bother you, Brandon

01:03:25It's no bother at all

01:03:26Come in

01:03:27I knew you were leaving tonight

01:03:28And I didn't want to be left without my case

01:03:30Hello, Philip

01:03:32Hello

01:03:32I didn't mean to alarm you before

01:03:34You didn't alarm him

01:03:36I'm afraid Philip's a little antisocial tonight

01:03:38Oh?

01:03:39I thought perhaps

01:03:41Any idea where you left the case?

01:03:43No

01:03:43No, not at all

01:03:44Completely unlike me to forget it, isn't it?

01:03:49I suppose a psychoanalyst would say

01:03:51That I didn't really forget it at all

01:03:52I unconsciously left it

01:03:55Because I wanted to come back

01:03:56But, uh

01:03:59Why should I want to come back?

01:04:03Yes

01:04:04Why?

01:04:05For the pleasure of our company

01:04:06Or another drink

01:04:07Well, that's a very good idea

01:04:09May I have one for the road?

01:04:10Of course

01:04:11A short one?

01:04:12No, I'd prefer a long one

01:04:13If you don't mind

01:04:14Not at all

01:04:15Now, Philip

01:04:16Will you fix Rupert a drink?

01:04:17Now, let me see

01:04:18Now, last I remember having the case

01:04:21Was when I was there

01:04:25I was just going to open the chest for Mrs. Wilson

01:04:30When you came over, Brandon

01:04:32And then what?

01:04:39I think I, uh

01:04:41I wonder where it could be

01:04:46Oh

01:04:48Well, here it is

01:04:50Right where I left it

01:04:51Gentlemen, I beg your pardon

01:04:52I'm very sorry

01:04:53I, uh

01:04:55Well, uh

01:04:57May I have that drink anyway?

01:04:59Of course

01:04:59You really don't mind?

01:05:01No, why should we?

01:05:03Well, you might be

01:05:04What?

01:05:05Tired

01:05:06You're sure it's all right?

01:05:08He said you could have it

01:05:10Thank you

01:05:10Don't mind, Philip

01:05:11I'm afraid he's, uh

01:05:12He's had a few too many

01:05:14Well, why not?

01:05:14Why not?

01:05:16After all, it was a party

01:05:18Well, it's very pleasant to sit here with a

01:05:25Good drink and good company

01:05:27I'm glad

01:05:28Please don't let me be in the way

01:05:33Of what?

01:05:35Well, I know you have things to do

01:05:36What do you mean?

01:05:38Well, packing, last-minute odds and ends

01:05:40You are driving up to Connecticut tonight, aren't you?

01:05:42Yes, but we're all packed

01:05:44Oh, I see

01:05:45Already

01:05:46All except one guest

01:05:49Must be gotten rid of

01:05:50Well, I'll be off

01:05:52As, uh, as soon as I finish my drink

01:05:56There's, uh, no need to hurry, Rupert

01:05:59Thank you

01:06:01I, uh, would like to stay a bit

01:06:03Perhaps even see you off

01:06:06I always hate to leave a party

01:06:11Especially when the evening has been

01:06:14Unusually stimulating

01:06:16Or strange

01:06:19Like this evening

01:06:21What do you mean, strange?

01:06:27Did I say strange, Brandon?

01:06:28Well, you often pick words for sound rather than meaning

01:06:32Well, I don't exactly know what I meant

01:06:34Unless I was thinking about David

01:06:38Well, what was, uh, strange about David?

01:06:45Well, he's not showing up

01:06:46You don't think anything really did happen to him, do you?

01:06:49What could have?

01:06:51Well, he could have been run over or held up

01:06:53In broad daylight

01:06:54That's right, I've forgotten

01:06:55Yes, it must have been broad daylight when it happened

01:07:00When, uh, what happened?

01:07:07When whatever did happen to David

01:07:09Nothing, probably

01:07:12Still

01:07:18Where is he?

01:07:22What's your theory?

01:07:23Mine?

01:07:25I was considering Janet's for the moment

01:07:27Oh, I didn't know she had one

01:07:28Yes, you do

01:07:29I couldn't help overhearing Janet

01:07:32I gather she thinks you kidnapped David

01:07:35Or did something to prevent him from coming

01:07:38I'm not interested in Janet's prattle

01:07:40But you always interest me, Rupert

01:07:42Do you think I, uh, kidnapped David?

01:07:45Well, it's the sort of mischief

01:07:47That would have appealed to you in school

01:07:49For the experience, the excitement, the danger

01:07:52But it, it will be slightly more difficult

01:07:54To, uh, pull off now, though, don't you think?

01:07:57Eh, you'd find a way

01:07:58How?

01:07:59No, I mean, suppose you or I

01:08:02How would you get David out of the way?

01:08:06No, you're much better at this sort of thing than I am

01:08:08No, but what would you do if you were I?

01:08:13Well, if I wanted to get rid of David

01:08:17I'd invite him for a drink

01:08:20At the club or some quiet bar

01:08:23Or better still, I'd invite him here

01:08:25And no one would see us together

01:08:26Well, that's good

01:08:28And no witnesses

01:08:28Yes, that's right

01:08:29Then what?

01:08:34Well

01:08:34Well, let me see

01:08:40At the appointed time

01:08:43At the appointed time

01:08:44David would arrive

01:08:46I'd walk slowly out of the room

01:08:47Into the hall

01:08:48And greet him

01:08:49Tell him how fine he's looking

01:08:51And so forth

01:08:52And, uh, take his hat

01:08:55And I'd bring him in here

01:08:58Make some small talk

01:09:01To put him at his ease

01:09:03Probably offer him a drink

01:09:05And then he'd sit down

01:09:09Yes

01:09:10I'd try to make it all very pleasant

01:09:12You understand

01:09:13Philip would probably play the piano

01:09:17Now, as I recall

01:09:21David was quite strong

01:09:22He'd have to be knocked out

01:09:24So I'd move quietly around behind the chair

01:09:28And hit him on the head with something

01:09:30His body would fall forward on the floor

01:09:34Then, where would you put him?

01:09:44Well

01:09:44Uh

01:09:47Well, let me see

01:09:50Well, I think I'd get Philip

01:09:56To help me carry him out of the room

01:09:57Down the back stairs

01:09:59And the two of us

01:10:00Would put him into the car

01:10:01You'd be seen

01:10:04What?

01:10:05Well, you said yourself

01:10:06That if anything did happen

01:10:07It must have happened

01:10:08In broad daylight

01:10:10Oh, that's right

01:10:10I've forgotten

01:10:11Well, that means

01:10:12I'd have to find some place

01:10:13To hide the body

01:10:14Until dark

01:10:14Yes, you would

01:10:16But, uh, where, Rupert?

01:10:19Yes

01:10:20Yes, where?

01:10:28Cat and mouse

01:10:29Cat and mouse

01:10:30Philip

01:10:31Which is the cat

01:10:32And which is the mouse?

01:10:33That's enough of that

01:10:34Mind your own business

01:10:35That's enough, Philip

01:10:36I told you before

01:10:38Mind your own business

01:10:39It really isn't any of my business

01:10:43I'm not his keeper

01:10:44With him in this condition, though

01:10:49There doesn't seem to be much point

01:10:51In your staying, Rupert

01:10:52That is

01:10:53Unless you came back

01:10:55To find something

01:10:56Besides your cigarette case

01:10:58You mean, for example

01:11:00To find if you really got rid of David

01:11:02Yes

01:11:03That's what I mean

01:11:04Oh, you're as romantic as Janet

01:11:06I don't think for a moment

01:11:07That you kidnapped David

01:11:08Oh, I will admit

01:11:10That Janet put the notion in my head

01:11:12But I never would have mentioned it

01:11:14If it weren't that you seem to be carrying

01:11:17Fear of discovery in your pocket

01:11:19What?

01:11:20That's a gun, isn't it?

01:11:24That teased my suspicions

01:11:25More than anything else

01:11:26And to tell you the truth

01:11:28It, uh, really scares me a little

01:11:32Oh, I'm terribly sorry, Rupert

01:11:34I don't blame you

01:11:35But, well, here

01:11:37You can relax

01:11:38I have to take it up to the country

01:11:40There have been several burglaries

01:11:41And mothers have been on edge

01:11:43Finished, uh, Philip?

01:11:46All right

01:11:47Did you hear what Rupert said about the gun?

01:11:50He thought

01:11:51It's odd the way one can pyramid simple facts

01:11:56Into wild fantasies, isn't it?

01:11:58Oh, we all do it, don't we, Philip?

01:12:00Yes

01:12:00Particularly after a few drinks

01:12:02Uh, how is, uh, yours, Rupert?

01:12:05I think I'll be running along

01:12:06Philip, you'll feel much better

01:12:09Once you get out in the open air

01:12:10I don't think there'll be much traffic

01:12:12And we ought to make good time

01:12:13It's a lovely night

01:12:15You'll be driving up in good weather

01:12:16I almost wish I were going with you

01:12:20It might be rather exciting

01:12:21Driving at night always is

01:12:24But driving with you and Philip now

01:12:28Might have an additional element of, uh, suspense

01:12:32You were right, Philip

01:12:35Those books were tied clumsily

01:12:38He's got it

01:12:40He's got it

01:12:41He knows

01:12:42He knows, he knows

01:12:44All right, he knows

01:12:45Easy, I'll take care of it

01:12:46No, you won't

01:12:47I'd just as soon kill you as kill him

01:12:50Sooner

01:12:52That's what you wanted, isn't it?

01:12:54Somebody else to know

01:12:55Somebody else to see how brilliant you are

01:12:57Just like at school

01:12:58I told you we'd find out

01:13:00But oh, no

01:13:01No, you have to have him here

01:13:02And now we're done for

01:13:03Now it'll shut up

01:13:04No, you made me do it

01:13:05And I hate you

01:13:06I hate both of us

01:13:07Stupid, babbling, drunk

01:13:23I'm sorry, Rupert

01:13:25He's all right

01:13:26All right

01:13:28If you really want to kill

01:13:30You don't mess, not at that range

01:13:31Of course he didn't want to kill you

01:13:33He didn't know what he was doing

01:13:34Any more than he knew what he was saying

01:13:36He, I didn't want anyone to know this

01:13:39But he's been becoming an alcoholic

01:13:41Rupert

01:13:41Brandon, will you step over there, please?

01:13:45I'm drunk, Rupert

01:13:46Surely you don't take those

01:13:48Those nightmare ideas of his seriously

01:13:50Brandon

01:13:50Brandon, I'm tired

01:13:53And in a way I'm frightened, too

01:13:56But I don't want to fence anymore

01:14:00What are you going to do?

01:14:01I don't want to

01:14:02But I'm going to look inside that chest

01:14:05Are you crazy?

01:14:07I hope so

01:14:08With all my heart, I hope I'm crazy

01:14:10Rupert, this has nothing to do with you

01:14:12It's got to

01:14:12Don't

01:14:13I've got to look inside that chest

01:14:14All right

01:14:15Go ahead and look

01:14:18I hope you like what you see

01:14:21Rupert, I couldn't believe it was true

01:14:33Rupert, please, please what?

01:14:35Listen to me, just listen

01:14:36Let me explain

01:14:37Explain, do you think you're going to explain that?

01:14:40Yes, to you I can

01:14:41Because you'll understand

01:14:42Understand?

01:14:43Rupert, remember the discussion we had before with Mr. Ketley?

01:14:47Yes

01:14:48Remember we said the lives of inferior beings are unimportant?

01:14:52Remember we said we've always said you and I

01:14:54That moral concepts of good and evil and right and wrong

01:14:58Don't hold for the intellectually superior

01:14:59Remember, Rupert?

01:15:00Yes, I remember

01:15:01Well, that's all we've done

01:15:02That's all Philip and I have done

01:15:03He and I have lived what you and I have talked

01:15:05I knew you would understand, because you have to, because you have to, don't you see?

01:15:30You have to

01:15:31...

01:15:33...

01:15:37...

01:15:48...

01:15:51...

01:15:53...

01:15:55...

01:15:57...

01:15:59et incompréhensible pour moi.

01:16:01Et j'ai essayé de faire de la voie avec logique

01:16:04et de l'intelligence superbe.

01:16:08Et vous avez mis mes mots à la face, Brandon.

01:16:12Vous avez raison, si autrement, un homme doit rester par ses mots.

01:16:17Mais vous avez donné mes mots un mot que je n'ai jamais rêvé.

01:16:20Et vous avez essayé de faire des excuses

01:16:23pour une excuse logique pour votre mort.

01:16:29Oh, ils n'ont jamais été ça, Brandon.

01:16:32Et vous n'avez pas de faire ça.

01:16:34Il m'a pas été quelque chose d'un côté de vous

01:16:37de l'un de la première fois que vous avez fait ça.

01:16:42Mais il y a toujours quelque chose d'un côté de moi

01:16:44qui ne va jamais faire ça.

01:16:46Et qui ne va jamais faire ça maintenant.

01:16:49Qu'est-ce que tu veux?

01:16:50Je veux que vous avez fait que vous me aiment

01:16:52de tout concept que j'avais eu de plus ou de plus ou de plus ou de plus.

01:16:56Je vous remercie.

01:16:57Je vous remercie.

01:16:58Je vous remercie.

01:16:59Mains et à vous remercie.

01:17:00Parce que maintenant je sais que nous sommes tous les deux êtres, Brandon.

01:17:05Avec le droit de vivre et de travailler et de penser comme des individuels.

01:17:10Mais avec une obligation à la société que nous vivons.

01:17:13Qu'est-ce que vous vous êtes prêts à dire que vous êtes un peu plus grand que vous êtes prêts ?

01:17:20Qu'est-ce que vous êtes prêts à dire que ce garçon-là était inferior et donc pouvait être mort ?

01:17:29Tu pensais que vous êtes prêts à dire que vous êtes prêts à dire que vous avez pris la vie de lui ?

01:17:36Est-ce que vous avez pensé que vous avez mangé la vie de lui ?

01:17:39Je ne sais pas ce que vous avez pensé ou ce que vous êtes, mais je sais ce que vous avez fait.

01:17:44Vous avez fait la vie de une vie humaine qui pouvait vivre et aimer comme vous n'avez jamais pu et ne jamais encore.

01:17:53Qu'est-ce que vous faites ?

01:17:54Ce n'est pas ce que je vais faire, Brandon, ce que la société va faire.

01:17:57Je ne sais pas ce que ça va, mais je peux le dire et je peux le dire.

01:18:01Vous allez mourir, Brandon, vous allez mourir !

01:18:04Vous allez mourir !

01:18:27Vous pouvez…

01:18:29Je vais mourir dans le quartier.

01:18:35T'est-ce que vous ivez à dire le quartier de la planète ?
