00:00To be continued...
00:50I'm going to come to bed, David.
00:51Not yet.
00:52You're not flicking your ash on those people below, are you?
00:55No.
00:56What are you doing?
00:57I'm looking at the sea.
00:58Haven't you seen enough of it?
00:59Well, I never get tired of looking at the sea.
01:01Well, it's only water, David.
01:02How can you say that?
01:03It's like a mirror out there.
01:04No white horses tonight, Amy.
01:06No white horses?
01:08You usually say waves.
01:10What's the matter?
01:12Didn't you enjoy this evening?
01:14Oh, wasn't it a lovely evening?
01:16I thoroughly enjoyed it.
01:18In fact, it was a perfect evening in almost every respect.
01:22Of course, there was the atmosphere, but apart from that...
01:25What atmosphere?
01:26Oh, it was nothing, David.
01:27I shouldn't have mentioned the atmosphere.
01:28Why spoil the evening?
01:30Was there an atmosphere?
01:31Didn't you notice how silent Robert became?
01:34Oh, yes, but I just thought it was a comfortable silence.
01:37How do you know that?
01:38How do I know about what?
01:39Well, you've only known him for a few days.
01:41How do you know whether his silence was comfortable or uncomfortable?
01:44Yeah, you know Robert.
01:45I mean, he puts words together like somebody threading beads.
01:48Well, he didn't thread many beads tonight, did he?
01:50I think he was brooding.
01:52Why was he brooding?
01:54No idea.
01:58Why do you keep touching her all the time?
02:01Who?
02:02Linda.
02:03Well, I don't.
02:04It was very noticeable.
02:05You're becoming quite a toucher these days.
02:08Your eyesight isn't failing, is it?
02:11Nothing wrong with my eyesight.
02:12Are you sure?
02:13You kept running your hands over her like blind puke.
02:18Oh, that would be so ridiculous.
02:19Well, Robert noticed.
02:20I think he could turn quite ugly if he was cross.
02:23Oh, Robert?
02:26Do you think so?
02:28The way he kept opening and closing those big hands,
02:32I think he could become very jealous.
02:34And the trouble is, she flirts with everybody.
02:36No, she doesn't.
02:38I think she's a nymphomaniac.
02:40What are you talking about?
02:41She's nothing of the sort.
02:42How do you know?
02:43Just because you haven't met one
02:44doesn't mean to say they don't exist.
02:46They're rare, like the white rhino.
02:50Poor Robert, what he's got to put up with.
02:52And I think he'd do anything to keep the woman he loves,
02:56even murder.
02:57Murder?
02:59Do you love me, David?
03:01Well, of course I do.
03:02No, there's no of course about it.
03:03How much?
03:04How much?
03:06Well, you can't measure love, though.
03:07You certainly can't measure yours, David.
03:09Well, I love you, er, desperately.
03:12Yes, that's what I thought.
03:13In, er, in every way.
03:15Would you die for me?
03:18Is that necessary?
03:20I mean, suppose there were six-foot waves out there
03:23and I was in the middle of them,
03:24being tossed about like a cork,
03:26screaming,
03:26David, David, save me!
03:28What would you do?
03:30How high did you say the waves were?
03:33How high?
03:34Six foot!
03:35Would you dive in and save me?
03:36Well, wait a minute, Amy.
03:37I'm not a very strong swimmer these days.
03:39You're not a very strong swimmer.
03:40I'm drowning and you're hesitating.
03:42Now, what would you do?
03:44Oh, I'd form a chain.
03:46You'd what?
03:47Yeah, I'd line up all the holidaymakers,
03:49form a chain,
03:49and then move steadily out into the water.
03:52So that's it.
03:53I'm drowning and you'd organise a chain.
03:55Well, I suppose it's one way to meet people.
03:57Well, it doesn't mean I don't love you, love.
03:59I just believe in keeping a clear head.
04:01Oh, above water.
04:03Clear head above water.
04:04You certainly do, chain maker.
04:07Hey, suppose I drowned.
04:10Would you be grief-stricken?
04:12Oh, of course I would, love.
04:13I'd be absolutely grief-stricken.
04:16Would you be very upset at the fumes?
04:18Oh, terribly upset.
04:20Would you weep?
04:22I suppose so.
04:23Would you throw yourself on the coffin
04:25with great racking sobs and scratch at the lid
04:27and groan, too late, too late?
04:30Well, I don't know about that.
04:35Would you marry again?
04:37Marry again?
04:38Well, I don't know.
04:39Well, of course there'd be the children to consider.
04:40Oh, yes, of course there would be the children.
04:43Would you wait six months?
04:44Oh, I wouldn't marry as quickly as that.
04:46It'd be indecent.
04:47What about a year?
04:49No, don't answer that, David.
04:50I think I'll settle for six months.
04:51Look, do we have to have this morbid conversation?
04:53I mean, we're on holiday.
04:54Do we have to talk about death all the time?
04:56Hey, we're going to the...
04:57Ta-da!
04:58The bullfight tomorrow.
04:59Well, I'm glad you're looking for a joy
05:00because I'm not.
05:01Why did you say we'd go with them?
05:03Well, I don't know.
05:03Well, it was just that Linda wants...
05:05Oh, and Robert wants to go with somebody
05:06who knows the ropes.
05:07Well, you don't know the ropes.
05:09You'll probably be sick.
05:10We should stop talking like that, you know.
05:12People will think we've never been anywhere.
05:13Oh, we haven't.
05:14Yes, well, they...
05:15they think we've been to a bullfight.
05:17Now, how could we have been to a bullfight?
05:19We haven't even been to Spain before
05:20and they certainly don't have them in Northampton.
05:23How did they get that impression?
05:25Well, I don't know.
05:25Well, I just happened to be discussing
05:26the finer points that they seemed to assume it.
05:29Did they, really?
05:30Yes, it was their...
05:33I think I'll clean my teeth.
05:35David?
05:36Yes?
05:37Oh, nothing.
05:39David, if I was in this field
05:42and this bull was charging towards me
05:44and I was shouting for help...
05:45Oh, no, not again.
06:00What are you drinking?
06:01Oh, a Pimm's.
06:03Oh, good.
06:04Just what I need.
06:09Do you have to do that?
06:11I have to make myself beautiful for tomorrow, Robert.
06:13Never mind tomorrow.
06:14What about tonight?
06:15Why, is someone coming?
06:17No, I don't think so.
06:18Well, not at this time.
06:20I'm talking about me, Linda.
06:22I'm here.
06:23Well, yes, of course you're here, Robert.
06:25I can see that.
06:26And I'm doing this for you.
06:27Don't you want your wife to look beautiful?
06:28Well, yes.
06:29Look at the trouble I'm going to.
06:31Olive oil, lemon, cucumber,
06:33nothing synthetic.
06:34All God's gifts, just for you.
06:36And don't forget,
06:37we're going to the bullfight tomorrow.
06:39I must look my best.
06:40Oh, wouldn't it be wonderful
06:41if the matador dedicated his bull to me?
06:44No, he wouldn't.
06:46We'd never get it home, Linda.
06:49And if we did,
06:50it'd be too big for the deep freeze.
06:51It's been a gesture, Robert.
06:54David was explaining it to me.
06:55Oh, yes.
06:56What's the matter?
06:57Aren't you looking forward to it?
06:58What, a bunch of dagos
06:59baying for blood,
07:01throwing cushions in the air?
07:02I should think not.
07:03That's because you don't understand it.
07:04David's going to explain it to us.
07:06Oh, is he?
07:08Don't you think you've been seeing
07:11rather a lot of David these days?
07:14Robert, you're not jealous.
07:15Well, of course not.
07:17Seen the state of his shoes.
07:19Then there is cuffs.
07:21Cuffs?
07:22Cuffs.
07:23Frayed.
07:25Caught in the other day,
07:26trimming them with a pair of nail clippers.
07:28Poor devil.
07:29He seems to have been
07:30in a state of deterioration
07:31ever since he arrived.
07:32I think it must be the heat.
07:35It can have a very strange effect on people.
07:38What do you mean?
07:39Well, you.
07:40You seem to have changed
07:41since you've been here.
07:43Hardly spoke to me at dinner.
07:44I mean, it's even as if
07:45there was someone else.
07:46Someone else?
07:47Well, so could there be.
07:49Who could possibly compete with you, Robert?
07:51Look around you.
07:52What do you see?
07:53A bunch of foreigners
07:54and a man with frayed cuffs.
07:57Yeah, I suppose you're right.
07:58You're not enjoying it here, are you, Robert?
08:00No, too many Germans.
08:02And all that singing in the bar.
08:04What are they trying to prove?
08:05They're only singing, Robert.
08:07Yes, I think they're trying to raise Hitler.
08:08Oh, no, not a good one, John.
08:11We would have done much better at Bournemouth.
08:13You were different, though.
08:15There is something the matter.
08:16What is it?
08:17Well, to tell you the truth, Linda,
08:19I was rather hoping
08:20that you might be feeling a bit...
08:23a bit...
08:24A bit what?
08:26You know, fruity.
08:29Oh, fruity?
08:30I thought you were going to say something romantic.
08:32Oh, but, Linda...
08:33When you start word-spinning,
08:34it takes the breath away.
08:36Here we are in this exotic paradise
08:37with the guitars playing
08:39and the sound of cicadas on the night air
08:41and you feel fruity.
08:42Well, if you feel so fruity,
08:44have a lemon.
09:02Hello, Linda.
09:03Oh.
09:04Where's Robert?
09:05Oh, he's in the bar,
09:06bracing himself for the ordeal.
09:07I don't think he's very keen on bullfights.
09:09The sight of blood usually makes him queasy.
09:12He does surprise me.
09:13Poor Robert.
09:14I would never have guessed.
09:15Doesn't worry you, then?
09:16No, no, no.
09:17I hardly notice it.
09:18Mind you, I am more interested in the cape work.
09:21Oh.
09:22And do you know who's fighting today?
09:23El Macho, the man.
09:25He's got quite a following.
09:26I'm really looking forward to studying his style.
09:29Oh, I think I should be terrified.
09:30No, no, no, no, you won't in there.
09:32Just look on it as a pageant,
09:34as a sort of ballet.
09:35Don't you feel sorry for the bull?
09:38No, you mustn't feel sorry for the bull, Linda.
09:42Just remember the man alone in that arena
09:45with a thousand pounds of aggressive, malevolent arm and muscle
09:49bearing down on him.
09:50And the only thing between him and sudden death
09:53is his skill with the cape.
09:58Or, uh, mulatto, as we aficionados like to call it.
10:03You seem to know a great deal about it.
10:05Well, it's just something that's always appealed to me.
10:09I don't know if life would have been different.
10:11It might have been me out there today.
10:13El, uh, gringo, the foreigner.
10:15You see, I've always been fascinated by cold courage,
10:17the moment of truth.
10:19El Toro.
10:21Oh, I'm sorry.
10:24The, uh...
10:25The hushed silence of the bullring,
10:27the matador looks up,
10:29catches the eye of a beautiful woman
10:30and raises his sword
10:31and dedicates the bull to her.
10:33David!
10:34El Toro comes nearer.
10:35The woman watches,
10:36her heart in her mouth,
10:37her face pale,
10:38a cry of fear,
10:39a sudden thrust.
10:41And the bull lies dead at his feet.
10:45Daddy.
10:49Dedicated to the woman he loves.
10:51Oh, David, that's lovely.
10:53Oh, hello, Amy.
10:55David was just describing the bullfight.
10:57I didn't realise he was an aficionado.
11:00Didn't you?
11:02Oh, yes.
11:04He's the biggest aficionado around you.
11:10And two whiskies and soda and no ice,
11:14if you'll be so kind.
11:21Are you feeling better now, David?
11:23Oh, much better.
11:24Thank you, Linda.
11:25Oh, it must have been those,
11:26those tortillas we had at lunchtime.
11:28I thought it might have been the sight of all that blood.
11:31No, that didn't worry me.
11:32Then why did you disappear?
11:34I keep telling you, I didn't disappear.
11:36I just wandered off for a while
11:37because I was, because I was bored.
11:39Bored?
11:40Better bored than gourd.
11:42Yes.
11:43El Macho was a disappointment.
11:44He's lost his touch.
11:45Oh, he wasn't anything like I expected.
11:47He wasn't like you expected.
11:49Well, he was exactly what I expected.
11:51It's the same result every week.
11:52Matadors three, bulls nil.
11:55But El Macho was almost gourd.
11:57Didn't you see that, David?
11:58How could he see it?
11:59He was throwing up behind the stump.
12:01I was not.
12:03Have a drink, David.
12:05Settle the stomach.
12:05Look, there's nothing wrong with my stomach.
12:07It's just that...
12:08The tortillas.
12:10Yes, the tortillas.
12:10Oh, yes.
12:11You went very pale in there.
12:13I got quite worried about you.
12:14Oh, no.
12:14He was just bored, that's all.
12:16He always goes that colour when he's bald.
12:18Well, of course, David appreciates the finer points.
12:21I found that when he'd explained it to me,
12:23I enjoyed it much more.
12:24It's a pity he didn't explain it to the bull.
12:25He might have enjoyed it as well.
12:27You'd have loved to have been a bullfighter,
12:29wouldn't you, David?
12:30David!
12:32Well, I just happened to mention
12:33that it was a childhood ambition of mine.
12:35Oh, yes, I can just see you.
12:37El Blanco, the white one,
12:40disappearing behind the stands.
12:42Now, you see, Emmett, you, you don't understand.
12:44I wasn't interested.
12:46Now, to the untrained eye,
12:47it may have looked like a daring display,
12:49but El Macho was played to the crowd.
12:52Ha-ha.
12:52He was conning you.
12:53But he was almost gold.
12:55Oh, he may have looked like that, Linda,
12:56but he wasn't standing close to the bull.
12:58He was closer than you were.
13:01Look, er, look, I'll show you.
13:03Could you, er, oh, just,
13:04just lift your glasses, would you please?
13:05Aiming, glass.
13:06Oh, thank you.
13:08Now, you see, he was,
13:09he was leaning forward like this,
13:12like this,
13:12so that when the bull charged,
13:14he had all this room to move back
13:16without, without, in fact, moving his feet,
13:17you see?
13:18It was a con.
13:19Excuse me, senor,
13:20but, er,
13:21that is not quite right.
13:22Now, do you mind, show me,
13:22do you mind?
13:23I'm just explaining something here to my friends.
13:24Would you just please stand aside?
13:26You see, of course, now,
13:26what he should have done.
13:27But, senora.
13:28Now, please,
13:28please, do you mind?
13:31Of course, you see,
13:33of course,
13:33what he should have done,
13:34he should have achieved
13:35total mastery of the bull,
13:37allowing it to pass close to the body,
13:38and allowing him to make use
13:40of the more intricate passes,
13:41such as the, er,
13:43oh, the, er,
13:43oh, the rondolero
13:44and the pendulo,
13:46you see?
13:46Senor,
13:48if, if I may.
13:50Now, look.
13:51What?
13:52Would you stop bothering me, please?
13:54But, senor,
13:55if you'll allow me just for a moment.
13:57What is it?
13:58That is not correct.
14:01This is how it is done.
14:03Eh!
14:04Torf!
14:05Torf!
14:06Hooray!
14:07Eh!
14:08Torf!
14:09Hooray!
14:11Ha ha!
14:12Hooray!
14:13Hooray!
14:19Hooray!
14:22Yes, I know.
14:23That's what I was doing.
14:25Now,
14:26could I have my tablecloth back, please?
14:31Did you see that?
14:32Who does it think he is?
14:34That's El Macho, David.
14:36baby.
14:40Oh,
14:40that's what I was saying.
14:56Oh,
