We've got to see if
there's anything...
7
00:03:25,289 --> 00:03:26,706
I know.
8
00:03:26,790 --> 00:03:30,042
But not just yet.
9
00:03:30,127 --> 00:03:32,628
Let's stay this way
for a minute.
10
00:03:53,567 --> 00:03:57,612
Phillip, we don't have
too much time.
11
00:03:58,989 --> 00:04:01,741
It's the darkness
that's got you down.

Nobody ever feels
really safe in the dark.

00:04:05,829 --> 00:04:07,997
I'll open these,
all right?

00:04:12,502 --> 00:04:14,837

Pity we couldn't
have done it with
20
00:04:29,811 --> 00:04:33,022
the curtains open
in the bright sunlight.
21
00:04:35,525 --> 00:04:41,197
Well... Can't have
everything, can we?
22
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:46,118
We did do it in daytime.
All right now, Phillip?
23
00:04:46,244 --> 00:04:48,120
- Yes.
- Good. You better put those away.
24
00:04:48,205 --> 00:04:51,707
Put them in my checkbook
drawer, behind that metal box.
25
00:05:09,476 --> 00:05:14,480
Now... This is
a museum piece now.
26
00:05:14,564 --> 00:05:17,441
We really should
preserve it for posterity,
27
00:05:17,526 --> 00:05:21,737
except it's such good crystal, and
I'd hate to break up the set.
28
00:05:23,657 --> 00:05:28,536
Out of this, David Kentley
had his last drink.
29
00:05:31,415 --> 00:05:34,667
It should have been
ginger ale or even beer.
30
00:05:34,751 --> 00:05:36,669
I've always thought
it was out of character
31
00:05:36,753 --> 00:05:39,505
for David to drink anything
as corrupt as whiskey.
32
00:05:39,589 --> 00:05:42,508
Out of character for
him to be murdered, too.
33
00:05:42,592 --> 00:05:45,094
(CHUCKLES) Yes, wasn't it?
But good Americans usually
34
00:05:45,178 --> 00:05:47,805
die young on the
battlefield, don't they?
35
00:05:47,889 --> 00:05:52,643
Well, the Davids of this
world merely occupy space,
36
00:05:52,728 --> 00:05:56,939
which is why he was the perfect
victim for the perfect murder.
37
00:05:58,483 --> 00:06:02,445
Course, he was
a Harvard undergraduate.
38
00:06:02,529 --> 00:06:05,031
(LAUGHS) That might
make it justifiable homicide.
39
00:06:05,115 --> 00:06:08,200
He's dead and we've killed him.
But he's still here.
40
00:06:08,285 --> 00:06:10,411
In less than eight hours,
he'll be resting
41
00:06:10,495 --> 00:06:12,538
gently but firmly at
the bottom of a lake.
42
00:06:12,622 --> 00:06:14,457
Meanwhile, he's here.
43
00:06:16,543 --> 00:06:18,044
What are you doing?
44
00:06:18,128 --> 00:06:19,545
It's not locked.
45
00:06:19,629 --> 00:06:21,380
All the better.
It's much more dangerous.
46
00:06:21,465 --> 00:06:23,966
Anyway, the lock's too
old, it won't work.
47
00:06:24,051 --> 00:06:27,219
I wish it would. I wish
we had him out of here.
48
00:06:27,304 --> 00:06:29,638
I wish it were
somebody else.
49
00:06:29,723 --> 00:06:33,392
It's a trifle late for that,
don't you think?
50
00:06:33,477 --> 00:06:36,312
Whom would you have
preferred? Kenneth?
51
00:06:36,396 --> 00:06:41,567
Oh, I don't know. I suppose anyone
was as good or as bad as any other.
52
00:06:43,153 --> 00:06:46,822
You, perhaps.
You frighten me.
53
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:50,910
You always have, from that
very first day in prep school.
54
00:06:50,994 --> 00:06:53,913
Part of your charm,
I suppose.
55
00:06:55,832 --> 00:06:56,999
(EXHALES)
56
00:06:58,376 --> 00:06:59,627
I'm only kidding, Brandon.
57
00:06:59,711 --> 00:07:02,213
I obviously can't
take it as well as you,
58
00:07:02,297 --> 00:07:04,715
so I'm turning on you
a little.
59
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,051
That's rather foolish,
isn't it?
60
00:07:07,135 --> 00:07:09,178
Yes, very.
61
00:07:10,222 --> 00:07:14,058
May I have a drink now?
62
00:07:14,142 --> 00:07:18,395
By all means. This is an occasion.
It calls for champagne.
63
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,730
Champagne?
64
00:07:19,815 --> 00:07:21,190
I put some in the icebox.
65
00:07:21,274 --> 00:07:22,775
When did you put
it there, Brandon?
66
00:07:22,859 --> 00:07:24,777
Just before David arrived.
67
00:07:24,861 --> 00:07:26,445
You were certain it would
come off, weren't you?
68
00:07:26,530 --> 00:07:27,655
Of course.
69
00:07:27,739 --> 00:07:31,450
You know I'd never do anything
unless I did it perfectly.
70
00:07:31,535 --> 00:07:34,370
I've always wished for
more artistic talent.
71
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:36,997
Well, murder
can be an art, too.
72
00:07:37,082 --> 00:07:40,126
The power to kill
can be just as satisfying
73
00:07:40,210 --> 00:07:41,544
as the power to create.
74
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:48,259
Phillip, do you realize we've actually
done it, exactly as we planned?
75
00:07:48,343 --> 00:07:51,178
And not a single infinitesimal
thing has gone wrong.
76
00:07:51,263 --> 00:07:52,263
It was perfect.
77
00:07:52,347 --> 00:07:53,472
Yes.
78
00:07:53,557 --> 00:07:55,141
An immaculate murder.
79
00:07:55,225 --> 00:07:58,936
We've killed for the sake of danger
and for the sake of killing.
80
00:07:59,020 --> 00:08:02,606
We're alive, truly
and wonderfully alive.
81
00:08:02,691 --> 00:08:05,401
Even champagne isn't equal
to us, or the occasion.
82
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:06,694
I'll take it, though.
83
00:08:06,778 --> 00:08:09,113
You're not really frightened
anymore, are you, Phillip?
84
00:08:09,197 --> 00:08:11,949
You can't have fear, you know?
Neither of us can.
85
00:08:12,033 --> 00:08:14,201
That's the difference between us
and the ordinary men, Phillip.
86
00:08:14,286 --> 00:08:17,037
They talk about committing the
perfect crime, but nobody does it.
87
00:08:17,122 --> 00:08:19,039
- Nobody commits a murder just for the...
- Here.
88
00:08:19,124 --> 00:08:21,876
...experiment
of committing it.
89
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,086
Nobody except us.
90
00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:27,214
You're not frightened
anymore, are you, Phillip?
91
00:08:27,299 --> 00:08:28,382
No.
92
00:08:28,466 --> 00:08:30,342
Not even of me?
93
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:32,678
No.
94
00:08:32,762 --> 00:08:33,929
That's good.
95
00:08:35,098 --> 00:08:39,351
You just astound me,
as always.
96
00:08:39,436 --> 00:08:41,228
That's even better.
97
00:08:42,772 --> 00:08:44,815
To David, of course.
98
00:08:53,658 --> 00:08:55,326
Brandon, how did you feel?
99
00:08:55,410 --> 00:08:56,577
When?
100
00:08:56,661 --> 00:08:58,245
During it.
101
00:08:59,748 --> 00:09:04,668
I don't know, really. I don't remember
feeling very much of anything.
102
00:09:07,130 --> 00:09:10,174
Until his body went limp,
103
00:09:11,051 --> 00:09:13,510
and I knew it was over.
104
00:09:13,595 --> 00:09:14,595
And then?
105
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:19,475
Then I felt
tremendously exhilarated.
106
00:09:20,602 --> 00:09:22,311
How did you feel?
107
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:26,023
(STAMMERING) I...
108
00:09:28,235 --> 00:09:30,361
Brandon, you don't think the
party's a mistake, do you?
109
00:09:30,445 --> 00:09:33,739
No, the party's the inspired
finishing touch to our work.
110
00:09:33,823 --> 00:09:36,742
It's more, it's the
signature of the artist.
111
00:09:36,826 --> 00:09:39,161
Not having it
would be like...
112
00:09:39,246 --> 00:09:41,997
Painting a picture
and not hanging it?
113
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:44,124
(LAUGHS) I don't think that's
a very good choice of words.
114
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:46,669
It may turn out to be a little
too choice, thanks to the party.
115
00:09:46,753 --> 00:09:50,339
Oh, rot. This party will be
the most exciting ever given.
116
00:09:50,423 --> 00:09:51,507
With these people?
117
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:52,633
They're a dull crew,
all right.
118
00:09:52,717 --> 00:09:55,135
The Kentleys couldn't be
duller if they tried,
119
00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:57,596
but we did have
to have them.
120
00:09:57,681 --> 00:10:01,433
After all, they are
David's mother and father.
121
00:10:01,518 --> 00:10:03,978
That doesn't make them
any easier to talk to.
122
00:10:04,062 --> 00:10:07,273
Don't worry. Janet'll be
buttering them up, poor girl.
123
00:10:07,357 --> 00:10:10,276
She's banked everything
on hooking David.
124
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,029
Somehow, I don't think
she's going to succeed.
125
00:10:14,823 --> 00:10:16,115
Do you?
126
00:10:16,199 --> 00:10:18,701
No, somehow, I don't.
127
00:10:18,785 --> 00:10:21,453
Well, she can switch back
to Kenneth tonight.
128
00:10:21,538 --> 00:10:23,747
You must admit, it was
most considerate of me,
129
00:10:23,832 --> 00:10:26,792
in view of
recent events, to...
130
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:29,503
(BLOWS)
131
00:10:33,675 --> 00:10:35,509
- Phillip.
- What?
132
00:10:35,593 --> 00:10:36,635
Take the other one.
133
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,761
What for?
134
00:10:37,846 --> 00:10:40,055
Never mind. Come with me.
135
00:10:41,266 --> 00:10:42,683
What's this all about?
136
00:10:42,767 --> 00:10:44,977
You'll see. It's brilliant!
137
00:10:53,695 --> 00:10:55,863
What the devil
are you doing?
138
00:10:55,947 --> 00:10:59,033
Making our work of art
a masterpiece.
139
00:10:59,117 --> 00:11:00,451
Brandon, you're
going too far.
140
00:11:00,535 --> 00:11:02,453
Why? What do you mean?
141
00:11:02,537 --> 00:11:06,915
I just thought it'd be nice
to have supper in here.
142
00:11:08,209 --> 00:11:09,543
On this.
143
00:11:11,212 --> 00:11:13,213
Isn't it a good idea?
144
00:11:14,257 --> 00:11:18,302
Well, at least this way,
no one will try to open it.
145
00:11:18,386 --> 00:11:21,347
I don't think you
appreciate me, Phillip.
146
00:11:21,431 --> 00:11:23,223
I'm beginning to, Brandon.
147
00:11:23,308 --> 00:11:25,225
Well, come on, we don't
have too much time.
148
00:11:25,310 --> 00:11:27,227
Mrs. Wilson will
be coming back soon.
149
00:11:27,312 --> 00:11:28,979
Did you forget
to borrow her key?
150
00:11:29,064 --> 00:11:30,272
I might've known
better than to...
151
00:11:30,357 --> 00:11:33,275
I didn't forget. I have her key.
I told her I lost mine.
152
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,526
Oh, good.
153
00:11:34,611 --> 00:11:35,778
How are you going to
explain this to her?
154
00:11:35,862 --> 00:11:37,029
I'm not.
155
00:11:37,113 --> 00:11:38,405
We've got to
have some excuse.
156
00:11:38,490 --> 00:11:42,785
We don't want to leave our guest
of honor alone during supper.
157
00:11:42,869 --> 00:11:45,204
Brandon, we've got to have
an excuse for the others.
158
00:11:45,288 --> 00:11:47,998
All right, all right.
Let me think.
159
00:11:51,544 --> 00:11:55,255
Really, you get much too upset
much too easily, Phillip.
160
00:11:56,049 --> 00:11:58,842
We have
a very simple excuse
161
00:11:59,803 --> 00:12:01,303
right here.
162
00:12:03,390 --> 00:12:05,516
What are you
worrying about, Phillip?
163
00:12:06,226 --> 00:12:08,727
After all, old Mr. Kentley's coming
mainly to look at these books.
164
00:12:08,812 --> 00:12:10,229
Now what could be
better than to have them
165
00:12:10,313 --> 00:12:11,814
laid out neatly on
the dining room table
166
00:12:11,898 --> 00:12:14,733
where the poor, old man
can easily get at them?
167
00:12:14,818 --> 00:12:16,402
Considerate, aren't we?
Most...
168
00:12:16,486 --> 00:12:18,529
(PHONE RINGING)
169
00:12:23,660 --> 00:12:26,495
Hello? Oh. Of course.
170
00:12:27,831 --> 00:12:28,914
You start on the books...
171
00:12:28,998 --> 00:12:29,957
Who is it?
172
00:12:30,041 --> 00:12:31,708
Mrs. Wilson.
173
00:12:50,728 --> 00:12:52,438
(SOFTLY) Brandon.
174
00:12:54,357 --> 00:12:55,816
(SHOUTS) Brandon!
175
00:12:57,902 --> 00:13:01,155
What the devil? Don't you have
any more sense than to...
176
00:13:01,239 --> 00:13:03,282
What is it?
177
00:13:03,366 --> 00:13:04,825
Well, go on, yank it out.
178
00:13:04,909 --> 00:13:06,368
I can't.
179
00:13:06,453 --> 00:13:09,121
If Mrs. Wilson were here,
she'd yank it out for you.
180
00:13:09,205 --> 00:13:11,081
A stupid display like that
in front of somebody else
181
00:13:11,166 --> 00:13:13,333
will be just as
good as a confession.
182
00:13:13,418 --> 00:13:16,003
Now, take these
and get a hold of yourself.
183
00:13:16,087 --> 00:13:17,963
If you'd let me keep the light
on before as I'd wanted,
184
00:13:18,047 --> 00:13:20,466
- I would have seen it.
- All right! You're perfect.
185
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:22,176
We have to be, Phillip.
186
00:13:22,260 --> 00:13:25,137
We agreed there was only one
crime either of us could commit.
187
00:13:25,221 --> 00:13:28,974
The crime of making a mistake.
Being weak is a mistake.
188
00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:31,018
Because it's being human?
189
00:13:31,144 --> 00:13:32,352
Because it's being ordinary.
190
00:13:32,437 --> 00:13:34,938
I won't let either of us stoop...
(DOORBELL BUZZING)
191
00:13:44,365 --> 00:13:48,035
You owe me $2.40 for taxis,
including the tip.
192
00:13:48,119 --> 00:13:50,329
If it weren't for the traffic, I'd
have been here a half hour ago.
193
00:13:50,413 --> 00:13:53,332
Oh, it's just as well. We didn't
expect you back until now.
194
00:13:53,416 --> 00:13:56,001
Well, I went to five stores
for the special p�t� we like.
195
00:13:56,085 --> 00:13:57,503
But the prices! (SCOFFS)
196
00:13:57,587 --> 00:13:59,505
I couldn't see any reason for
throwing away our good money.
197
00:13:59,589 --> 00:14:01,006
So I went downtown
198
00:14:01,090 --> 00:14:04,134
to that little delicatessen
where Mr. Cadell goes.
199
00:14:04,219 --> 00:14:07,346
But I tell you, the next time we
give a party, I'm only going...
200
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:09,515
Good evening, Mrs. Wilson.
201
00:14:13,478 --> 00:14:15,979
What, may I ask,
is happening to my table?
202
00:14:16,064 --> 00:14:18,815
We're just moving
the things in here.
203
00:14:19,609 --> 00:14:20,943
Well...
204
00:14:22,570 --> 00:14:25,322
I personally thought
my table was quite lovely.
205
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:26,698
Oh, it was quite lovely.
206
00:14:26,783 --> 00:14:29,201
But you see,
Mr. Kentley's coming
207
00:14:29,285 --> 00:14:31,703
to look at these old books
I had in the chest.
208
00:14:32,664 --> 00:14:35,582
And I'm sure you wouldn't
want the poor, old man
209
00:14:35,667 --> 00:14:37,751
to have to get down on
his knees to see them.
210
00:14:37,835 --> 00:14:39,211
Well, I think it looks
downright peculiar.
211
00:14:39,295 --> 00:14:40,629
Peculiar?
212
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:42,756
Very. Particularly
those candlesticks.
213
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,174
They don't
belong there at all.
214
00:14:44,259 --> 00:14:48,804
On the contrary, I think they
suggest a ceremonial altar,
215
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:52,683
which you can heap with the foods
for our sacrificial feast.
216
00:14:52,767 --> 00:14:54,851
Heap is right. Certainly
isn't enough room
217
00:14:54,936 --> 00:14:56,186
for me to set
things out properly.
218
00:14:56,271 --> 00:14:58,188
- Is there, Mr. Phillip?
- Oh, you can make it do.
219
00:14:58,273 --> 00:14:59,439
(SCOFFS) You two
will be the death of me.
220
00:14:59,524 --> 00:15:00,691
What's to be done
with the books?
221
00:15:00,775 --> 00:15:02,734
We'll lay them out on
the dining room table.
222
00:15:02,819 --> 00:15:04,736
A crazy idea,
if you ask me.
223
00:15:04,821 --> 00:15:07,114
Well, I have too much to do to
discuss this thoroughly, dear.
224
00:15:07,198 --> 00:15:10,117
However, I still
think it's peculiar.
225
00:15:10,201 --> 00:15:11,285
What on Earth's the matter?
226
00:15:11,369 --> 00:15:12,411
I was sure she'd notice.
227
00:15:12,495 --> 00:15:13,537
Notice what?
228
00:15:13,621 --> 00:15:14,580
The rope, of course.
229
00:15:14,664 --> 00:15:15,747
Brandon, we've
got to hide it.
230
00:15:15,832 --> 00:15:16,832
Why?
231
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:18,417
- Why?
- Yes, why?
232
00:15:18,501 --> 00:15:19,960
It's only
a piece of rope, Phillip.
233
00:15:20,044 --> 00:15:23,589
An ordinary household
article. Why hide it?
234
00:15:23,673 --> 00:15:26,258
It belongs in
the kitchen drawer.
235
00:15:45,111 --> 00:15:46,862
- Uh, Mrs. Wilson?
- Yes?
236
00:15:46,946 --> 00:15:48,572
There's champagne
in the icebox.
237
00:15:48,656 --> 00:15:50,324
Oh, we're not giving
them champagne?
238
00:15:50,408 --> 00:15:51,491
We are.
239
00:15:51,576 --> 00:15:55,495
Oh, well, it's going to be that kind
of party. I'd better doll up a little.
240
00:15:55,580 --> 00:15:58,957
We only serve champagne at
Mr. Cadell's on very high occasions.
241
00:15:59,042 --> 00:16:00,459
Matter of fact,
he and I once had
242
00:16:00,543 --> 00:16:02,836
a glass together
on my birthday.
243
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,087
Tonight, Mrs. Wilson,
244
00:16:04,172 --> 00:16:06,673
you'll have an opportunity
to renew that romance.
245
00:16:06,758 --> 00:16:10,302
May I?
Mr. Cadell's coming.
246
00:16:10,386 --> 00:16:13,930
Oh, my. Oh, Mr. Cadell's
terribly nice.
247
00:16:14,015 --> 00:16:14,973
Rupert's coming?
248
00:16:15,058 --> 00:16:16,058
Yes, I thought I told you.
249
00:16:16,142 --> 00:16:17,434
Oh, I must say I did enjoy
working for Mr. Cadell.
250
00:16:17,518 --> 00:16:18,810
No, you didn't.
251
00:16:18,895 --> 00:16:20,312
MRS. WILSON:
Such a gentleman!
252
00:16:20,396 --> 00:16:24,524
Of course some people say he's a
little peculiar, but I always...
253
00:16:25,610 --> 00:16:28,278
Well, you might
let me finish.
254
00:16:28,363 --> 00:16:31,448
I thought
you liked Rupert.
255
00:16:31,532 --> 00:16:32,532
I do.
256
00:16:32,617 --> 00:16:33,867
Well, then.
257
00:16:33,951 --> 00:16:35,452
Brandon, of all
the people on this Earth,
258
00:16:35,536 --> 00:16:37,829
Rupert Cadell is the one man
most likely to suspect.
259
00:16:37,914 --> 00:16:40,082
He's the one man who might
appreciate this from our angle,
260
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:41,208
the artistic one.
261
00:16:41,292 --> 00:16:42,334
That's what's exciting.
262
00:16:42,418 --> 00:16:43,919
I'm glad it excites you.
It frightens me.
263
00:16:44,045 --> 00:16:46,797
- I know...
- I suggest you keep your voice down.
264
00:16:46,881 --> 00:16:50,550
It would have been too easy with
the others, Phillip, and too dull.
265
00:16:50,635 --> 00:16:54,971
As for Rupert, I once thought
of inviting him to join us.
266
00:16:55,056 --> 00:16:56,515
Why didn't you?
The more the merrier.
267
00:16:56,599 --> 00:16:58,016
Because he hasn't the nerve.
268
00:16:58,101 --> 00:17:00,519
Oh, intellectually, he could've come along.
He's brilliant.
269
00:17:00,603 --> 00:17:02,521
But he's
a little too fastidious.
270
00:17:02,605 --> 00:17:04,189
He could've invented
and he could've admired,
271
00:17:04,273 --> 00:17:05,691
but he never
could have acted.
272
00:17:05,775 --> 00:17:07,067
That's where
we're superior, Phillip.
273
00:17:07,151 --> 00:17:08,735
We have courage,
Rupert doesn't.
274
00:17:08,820 --> 00:17:11,655
Mr. Cadell got a bad leg in
the war for his courage.
275
00:17:11,739 --> 00:17:13,907
And you've got your sleeve
in the celery, Mr. Phillip.

gobble up all that p�t�

I'll answer the door.

last minute hustle-bustle

346
00:19:30,211 --> 00:19:32,671
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't.
347
00:19:33,422 --> 00:19:34,631
Well, you knew, Phillip.
348
00:19:34,715 --> 00:19:39,177
Oh, I heard vague rumors, but I never
pay attention to that sort of thing.
349
00:19:39,262 --> 00:19:40,303
(DOORBELL BUZZING)
I wish you had.
350
00:19:40,388 --> 00:19:41,429
(SCOFFS) Why?
351
00:19:42,765 --> 00:19:44,683
Well, Janet and David are...
352
00:19:44,767 --> 00:19:46,643
JANET: Hello, Mrs. Wilson.
353
00:19:46,727 --> 00:19:48,270
- May I?
- Help yourself.
354
00:19:48,354 --> 00:19:50,480
And cheer up. I have the
oddest feeling, anyway,
355
00:19:50,565 --> 00:19:51,857
that your chances
with the young lady
356
00:19:51,941 --> 00:19:53,191
are much better
than you think.
357
00:19:53,276 --> 00:19:54,359
What do you mean?
358
00:19:54,443 --> 00:19:55,443
BRANDON: Janet!
359
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,990
Hello, ducks. Angel!
(CHUCKLES)
360
00:20:00,074 --> 00:20:03,785
Be careful of my hair, it took hours.
You smell dreamy.
361
00:20:03,870 --> 00:20:05,161
What is it?
362
00:20:05,246 --> 00:20:06,872
That swill you gave me
last Christmas.
363
00:20:06,956 --> 00:20:08,582
I always knew
I had good taste.
364
00:20:08,666 --> 00:20:10,292
You do. You look lovely.
365
00:20:10,334 --> 00:20:12,961
I won't by the time it's all paid for.
(LAUGHS)
366
00:20:13,045 --> 00:20:15,714
Was that funny? I never
know when I'm being funny.
367
00:20:15,798 --> 00:20:18,758
Whenever I try to be,
I lay the bomb of all time.
368
00:20:18,843 --> 00:20:19,885
Phillip, sweet.
369
00:20:19,969 --> 00:20:20,969
Hello.
370
00:20:21,512 --> 00:20:24,222
What's this rumor I hear
about you and Town Hall?
371
00:20:24,307 --> 00:20:28,393
I bet you're going to play a foul
trick on all of us and become...
372
00:20:28,477 --> 00:20:29,811
...horribly famous.
373
00:20:29,896 --> 00:20:31,438
I believe you've met.
374
00:20:33,691 --> 00:20:34,733
Hello, Ken.
375
00:20:34,817 --> 00:20:35,817
Hello, Jan.
376
00:20:36,861 --> 00:20:40,780
Well, that was fascinating, wasn't it?
I seem to have run down.
377
00:20:40,865 --> 00:20:43,825
What would you say
to some champagne?
378
00:20:43,910 --> 00:20:46,077
"Hello, champagne."
379
00:20:46,162 --> 00:20:49,331
You see what I mean
about trying to be funny?
380
00:20:49,415 --> 00:20:51,124
- How've you been, Ken?
- Fine, thanks.
381
00:20:51,208 --> 00:20:53,043
- How's the new job?
- What are you doing?
382
00:20:53,127 --> 00:20:54,920
Writing that
same dreary column
383
00:20:55,004 --> 00:20:57,088
on how to keep
the body beautiful.
384
00:20:57,173 --> 00:20:58,590
For whom this time?
385
00:20:58,674 --> 00:21:01,635
Oh, an untidy little
magazine known as Allure.
386
00:21:01,719 --> 00:21:03,219
Thanks, chum.
387
00:21:07,391 --> 00:21:09,517
Oh, isn't that painting new?
388
00:21:09,602 --> 00:21:11,019
BRANDON: Yes, it is.
Do you like it?
389
00:21:11,103 --> 00:21:12,646
Well, what is it?
390
00:21:12,730 --> 00:21:14,564
A new, young,
American primitive.
391
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:16,483
I have a new, young,
American sister.
392
00:21:16,567 --> 00:21:19,361
She's only three and her
stuff is really primitive.
393
00:21:19,445 --> 00:21:21,112
(MEN CHUCKLING)
(QUIETLY) You dirty dog.
394
00:21:21,197 --> 00:21:22,822
Why?
395
00:21:22,907 --> 00:21:26,159
Didn't I notice another new one
in the foyer when I came in?
396
00:21:26,243 --> 00:21:29,788
I don't think so. Which?
397
00:21:29,872 --> 00:21:31,498
KENNETH: Anyone else coming
besides Mr. Kentley?
398
00:21:31,582 --> 00:21:34,125
PHILLIP: Yes,
another old friend of yours.
399
00:21:34,210 --> 00:21:35,794
- This.
- Even older.
400
00:21:36,671 --> 00:21:37,671
KENNETH: Who?
401
00:21:37,755 --> 00:21:39,881
I could really
strangle you, Brandon.
402
00:21:39,966 --> 00:21:41,049
What have I done now?
403
00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:44,219
At times, your sense of humor is
a little too malicious, chum.
404
00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:46,054
What are you
chattering about?
405
00:21:46,138 --> 00:21:47,347
Why did you invite Kenneth?
406
00:21:47,431 --> 00:21:48,640
Why not?
407
00:21:48,724 --> 00:21:50,308
You know perfectly well
why not.
408
00:21:50,393 --> 00:21:51,935
We called it quits
ages ago
409
00:21:52,019 --> 00:21:54,312
and I'm practically
engaged to his best friend.
410
00:21:54,397 --> 00:21:55,438
David?
411
00:21:55,523 --> 00:21:56,898
Yes, David.
412
00:21:56,983 --> 00:21:59,150
Which makes everything
just ginger-peachy.
413
00:21:59,235 --> 00:22:02,153
I'm terribly sorry, but
it is a little difficult
414
00:22:02,238 --> 00:22:04,239
trying to keep up
with your romances.
415
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:07,701
After me came Kenneth,
now it's David.
416
00:22:07,785 --> 00:22:11,162
Why the switch from Kenneth
to David, anyway?
417
00:22:11,247 --> 00:22:13,331
Obviously,
I think he's nicer.
418
00:22:13,416 --> 00:22:15,417
Well, he's certainly richer.
419
00:22:16,794 --> 00:22:19,921
That's a new low,
even for you, chum.
420
00:22:20,006 --> 00:22:21,798
KENNETH: Gave me
a "D" in conduct.
421
00:22:21,924 --> 00:22:23,425
- PHILLIP: How's your drink doing?
- All right.
422
00:22:23,509 --> 00:22:25,468
How many years has
it been since I said,
423
00:22:25,553 --> 00:22:27,846
"Oh, it tickles"?
And don't you tell me.
424
00:22:27,930 --> 00:22:29,180
I hear Rupert's coming.
425
00:22:29,265 --> 00:22:31,391
Well, he was invited, but
you never know with Rupert.
426
00:22:31,475 --> 00:22:32,642
I hope he does come.
How is he?
427
00:22:32,727 --> 00:22:33,810
Who is he?
428
00:22:33,894 --> 00:22:37,272
Rupert Cadell, he was our
housemaster at prep school.
429
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:40,191
Housemaster for you
three little dears?
430
00:22:40,276 --> 00:22:44,112
Four little dears. He tried
valiantly to teach David, too.
431
00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:45,613
Rupert's a publisher
now, isn't he?
432
00:22:45,698 --> 00:22:47,824
Successful? Maybe he
can give me a job.
433
00:22:47,908 --> 00:22:52,412
Rupert only publishes books
he likes, usually philosophy.
434
00:22:52,496 --> 00:22:53,872
Oh. Small print,
big words, no sales.
435
00:22:53,956 --> 00:22:55,206
Right.
436
00:22:55,291 --> 00:22:57,417
Rupert's extremely radical.
437
00:22:57,501 --> 00:22:59,544
Do you know that he selects
his books on the assumption
438
00:22:59,628 --> 00:23:03,381
that people not only can read,
but actually can think?
439
00:23:03,466 --> 00:23:05,258
Curious fellow,
but I like him.
440
00:23:05,342 --> 00:23:06,426
You always did.
441
00:23:06,510 --> 00:23:09,721
Golly, those bull sessions you and
Rupert used to have at school.
442
00:23:09,805 --> 00:23:12,432
Brandon would sit up till all
hours at the master's feet.
443
00:23:12,516 --> 00:23:15,518
Brandon at someone's feet!
Who is this Rupert?
444
00:23:15,603 --> 00:23:17,896
He used to tell you the
weirdest things, didn't he?
445
00:23:17,980 --> 00:23:19,355
Really?
What sort of things?
446
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:24,486
I suppose Kenneth means Rupert's
impatience with social conventions.
447
00:23:25,196 --> 00:23:30,492
For example, he thinks murder
is a crime for most men, but...
448
00:23:30,576 --> 00:23:33,244
A privilege
for the few.
449
00:23:33,329 --> 00:23:34,454
Yes.
450
00:23:34,538 --> 00:23:36,456
(DOORBELL BUZZING)
A privilege for what few?
451
00:23:36,540 --> 00:23:39,959
It's all right, Mrs. Wilson.
I'll answer the door.
452
00:23:40,044 --> 00:23:41,920
Oh, Mr. Kentley.
So glad you could come.
453
00:23:42,004 --> 00:23:43,254
Thank you, Brandon.
454
00:23:43,339 --> 00:23:45,381
Mrs. Kentley isn't well,
so I took the liberty
455
00:23:45,466 --> 00:23:47,217
of bringing my sister-in-law,
Mrs. Atwater.
456
00:23:47,301 --> 00:23:48,384
She's been staying with us.
457
00:23:48,469 --> 00:23:50,136
Oh, delighted to
have you, Mrs. Atwater.
458
00:23:50,221 --> 00:23:51,846
Delighted to come,
dear boy.
459
00:23:51,931 --> 00:23:54,140
I've been in
New York two weeks.
460
00:23:54,225 --> 00:23:56,392
Alice has been ill
almost the whole time,
461
00:23:56,477 --> 00:23:59,687
and Henry is forever
cataloging his library.
462
00:23:59,772 --> 00:24:02,690
Oh, no, Anita. Occasionally,
I even read one of my books.
463
00:24:02,775 --> 00:24:06,903
But I'm on a visit, Henry.
This is just my second party.
464
00:24:06,987 --> 00:24:08,613
I suppose
it's only fair...
465
00:24:08,697 --> 00:24:10,281
- Let me take your things.
- Thank you.
466
00:24:10,366 --> 00:24:11,616
I'm sorry to hear
Mrs. Kentley's so ill.
467
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:12,784
Oh, it's just a cold.
468
00:24:12,868 --> 00:24:15,453
Oh, colds can be very dangerous
this time of the year.
469
00:24:15,538 --> 00:24:18,665
I hope Mrs. Kentley's staying in
bed with lots of fruit juice.
470
00:24:18,749 --> 00:24:20,708
- She is, thank you.
- Well, that'll do the trick.
471
00:24:20,793 --> 00:24:25,088
Colds dangerous, in this heat? I
don't understand that at all.
472
00:24:25,172 --> 00:24:28,091
Exactly two years ago this
summer, I had one myself.
473
00:24:28,175 --> 00:24:29,759
I was down for three weeks.
474
00:24:29,844 --> 00:24:30,969
The doctors were
just about ready...
475
00:24:31,053 --> 00:24:33,263
Excuse me.
This way, Mrs. Atwater.
476
00:24:33,347 --> 00:24:34,639
JANET: ...particularly
at parties.
477
00:24:34,723 --> 00:24:35,974
KENNETH: Particularly
at this party.
478
00:24:36,058 --> 00:24:37,934
PHILLIP: This is all
way over my head.
479
00:24:38,018 --> 00:24:38,977
David!
480
00:24:39,061 --> 00:24:40,061
Oh, no.
481
00:24:40,146 --> 00:24:41,187
(GLASS CRACKING)
482
00:24:41,272 --> 00:24:43,273
You've made a mistake.
This is Kenneth Lawrence.
483
00:24:43,357 --> 00:24:44,858
MRS. ATWATER:
(LAUGHS) I'm so sorry.
484
00:24:44,942 --> 00:24:48,194
MR. KENTLEY: That's all right, Anita.
Kenneth is often mistaken for David,
485
00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:51,281
even by people
who aren't nearsighted.
486
00:24:51,365 --> 00:24:53,116
We haven't had
much opportunity
487
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,618
to observe the resemblance
lately, my boy.
488
00:24:55,703 --> 00:24:57,162
Haven't been studying,
have you?
489
00:24:57,246 --> 00:24:58,621
I've been
trying to, sir.
490
00:24:58,706 --> 00:25:01,124
Oh, dear. The resemblance
is only physical.
491
00:25:01,208 --> 00:25:03,501
I believe you both
know Ms. Walker.
492
00:25:03,586 --> 00:25:05,503
Janet, my dear.
493
00:25:05,588 --> 00:25:09,174
I finished working out your
horoscope just before we came.
494
00:25:09,258 --> 00:25:10,383
Oh, tell.
495
00:25:10,467 --> 00:25:13,011
The stars are very kind.
496
00:25:13,095 --> 00:25:16,181
They indicate
a marriage very soon
497
00:25:16,265 --> 00:25:20,935
to a tall, fair-haired young
man with a very lovely father.
498
00:25:21,020 --> 00:25:22,937
Oh, come, Anita, I told
you that a week ago.
499
00:25:23,022 --> 00:25:24,606
Oh, well,
I suppose you did.
500
00:25:24,690 --> 00:25:26,191
But the stars confirm it.
501
00:25:26,275 --> 00:25:27,442
Wonderful.
502
00:25:27,526 --> 00:25:29,861
Uh, Mrs. Atwater, may I
present Mr. Phillip Morgan?
503
00:25:29,945 --> 00:25:31,863
- How do you do?
- Oh, you've hurt your hand.
504
00:25:31,947 --> 00:25:33,072
Oh, it's nothing,
just a little cut.
505
00:25:33,157 --> 00:25:34,199
What happened?
506
00:25:34,283 --> 00:25:37,035
Nothing. The glass was cracked
and it broke, that's all.
507
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,661
May I get you some
champagne, Mrs. Atwater?
508
00:25:38,746 --> 00:25:40,538
Oh, I should adore some.
509
00:25:40,623 --> 00:25:43,541
Daddy used to have a glass
every morning at 11:00.
510
00:25:43,626 --> 00:25:46,127
But, of course,
Henry doesn't like it.
511
00:25:47,296 --> 00:25:49,214
Mr. Kentley,
may I get you some?
512
00:25:49,298 --> 00:25:50,632
Well, I'd prefer
a little scotch
513
00:25:50,716 --> 00:25:52,550
with a lot of water
if you don't mind.
514
00:25:52,635 --> 00:25:54,886
Is David here?
515
00:25:54,970 --> 00:25:58,097
I expected him
to come with you.
516
00:25:58,182 --> 00:26:00,141
MR. KENTLEY: He called and
said that he'd meet us here.
517
00:26:00,226 --> 00:26:01,643
Where did he call from?
518
00:26:01,727 --> 00:26:02,936
Oh, our maid spoke to him.
519
00:26:03,020 --> 00:26:05,980
He was at the club, studying
for his examinations.
520
00:26:06,982 --> 00:26:09,067
Tennis.
(CHUCKLES)
521
00:26:09,151 --> 00:26:12,612
The trouble with David is he doesn't
have to study. He's too bright.
522
00:26:12,696 --> 00:26:14,614
Well, David does all right,
very much so.
523
00:26:14,698 --> 00:26:16,282
Thank you.
524
00:26:16,367 --> 00:26:18,034
How's Mrs. Kentley?
525
00:26:18,118 --> 00:26:20,995
As usual,
it's a cold this time.
526
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,332
I hope David arrives soon.
She wants him to call her.
527
00:26:24,416 --> 00:26:26,918
David's her only child,
Mr. Kentley.
528
00:26:27,002 --> 00:26:30,421
He's my only child, too, but I'm
willing to let him grow up.
529
00:26:30,506 --> 00:26:32,590
Why don't I call and tell
her he's been detained?
530
00:26:32,675 --> 00:26:34,008
No, you mustn't
pamper her, Janet.
531
00:26:34,093 --> 00:26:36,010
David might even have
stopped off to see her.
532
00:26:36,095 --> 00:26:38,012
- Mr. Kentley?
- May I use the phone?
533
00:26:38,097 --> 00:26:39,097
Of course.
It's in the bedroom.
534
00:26:39,181 --> 00:26:40,223
How cozy.
535
00:26:40,307 --> 00:26:41,808
Aren't you ready
for another?
536
00:26:41,892 --> 00:26:43,017
I will be.
537
00:26:44,770 --> 00:26:46,354
I am, thank you.
538
00:26:47,189 --> 00:26:48,439
MR. KENTLEY: What
a charming young man.
539
00:26:48,524 --> 00:26:49,983
I wish David
saw more of him.
540
00:26:50,067 --> 00:26:53,027
JANET: Yes.
I'll go and call.
541
00:26:53,779 --> 00:26:56,614
Kenneth, there's too
much air in your glass.
542
00:26:56,699 --> 00:26:57,991
Oh, mine's fine, thanks.
543
00:26:58,075 --> 00:26:59,617
Would you mind
taking this in to Janet?
544
00:26:59,702 --> 00:27:01,786
Sure. Why?
545
00:27:01,870 --> 00:27:03,413
No particular reason.
It's hers.
546
00:27:03,497 --> 00:27:04,998
I thought you'd like
to take it in to her.
547
00:27:05,082 --> 00:27:06,457
She's in the bedroom,
telephoning.
548
00:27:06,542 --> 00:27:08,084
Then you'd like
David to walk in.
549
00:27:08,168 --> 00:27:10,420
No, no, that'd be
too much of a shock.
550
00:27:10,504 --> 00:27:12,005
MRS. ATWATER:
When were you born?
551
00:27:12,089 --> 00:27:13,548
PHILLIP: July 14.
552
00:27:13,632 --> 00:27:15,300
Can you really tell
my future from that?
553
00:27:15,384 --> 00:27:17,719
Of course, I'm only
an amateur astrologer.
554
00:27:17,803 --> 00:27:19,095
I'm sure you're very good.
555
00:27:19,179 --> 00:27:20,513
I do my best.
556
00:27:20,597 --> 00:27:23,641
I suppose you want to know if
your concert will be a success?
557
00:27:23,726 --> 00:27:25,101
Yes, I do.
558
00:27:25,185 --> 00:27:26,978
Let me see now.
559
00:27:27,062 --> 00:27:30,106
You were born on
the 14th of July.
560
00:27:30,190 --> 00:27:33,318
You're Cancer, the crab.
You're a moon child.
561
00:27:33,402 --> 00:27:37,905
You're very much influenced by the moon.
May I see your hands?
562
00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:40,908
You don't remember the hour
of your birth, by any chance?
563
00:27:40,993 --> 00:27:42,160
No.
564
00:27:43,579 --> 00:27:47,498
Good fingers.
Strong. Artistic.
565
00:27:48,292 --> 00:27:50,752
What about the concert?
566
00:27:50,836 --> 00:27:55,048
These hands will
bring you great fame.
567
00:27:57,676 --> 00:27:59,010
BRANDON: Extremely.
568
00:27:59,094 --> 00:28:02,430
MR. KENTLEY: Well, I consider
myself a very fortunate man today.
569
00:28:02,514 --> 00:28:03,931
I'm on hand for
the grand opening.
570
00:28:04,016 --> 00:28:05,391
Of what?
571
00:28:05,476 --> 00:28:07,018
Of your collection,
so to speak.
572
00:28:07,102 --> 00:28:08,561
Oh, yes, of course.
573
00:28:08,645 --> 00:28:11,356
Are you going to play?
How lovely.
574
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,024
JANET: Your wife
sends her love.
575
00:28:13,108 --> 00:28:14,359
MR. KENTLEY:
David wasn't there?
576
00:28:14,443 --> 00:28:17,070
No. He'll probably be
here in a minute, though.
577
00:28:17,154 --> 00:28:19,072
(PLAYING UPBEAT
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
578
00:28:35,672 --> 00:28:37,298
Your touch has
improved, Phillip.
579
00:28:37,383 --> 00:28:38,633
Rupert!
580
00:28:39,134 --> 00:28:42,595
I was beginning to think
you weren't going to show.
581
00:28:42,679 --> 00:28:44,597
You know me
better than that.
582
00:28:44,681 --> 00:28:47,600
(STAMMERING) Mrs. Atwater, may
I present Mr. Rupert Cadell?
583
00:28:47,684 --> 00:28:49,268
- Delighted.
- Thank you.
584
00:28:49,353 --> 00:28:50,395
Mr. Kentley.
585
00:28:50,479 --> 00:28:51,479
How do you do,
Mr. Kentley?
586
00:28:51,563 --> 00:28:53,564
Rupert Cadell, the
housemaster at Somerville?
587
00:28:53,649 --> 00:28:54,732
I used to be.
588
00:28:54,817 --> 00:28:56,567
Then you must have
taught my son, David.
589
00:28:56,652 --> 00:28:57,944
You flatter me.
590
00:28:58,028 --> 00:28:59,695
- How do you do?
- Hello, chum.
591
00:28:59,780 --> 00:29:00,863
Ms. Walker.
592
00:29:00,948 --> 00:29:01,989
How did you know?
593
00:29:02,074 --> 00:29:03,408
Brandon spoke of you.
594
00:29:03,492 --> 00:29:04,742
Did he do me justice?
595
00:29:04,827 --> 00:29:08,329
Do you deserve
justice? Well!
596
00:29:08,414 --> 00:29:11,249
Well, little Kenneth Lawrence.
How you've grown.
597
00:29:11,333 --> 00:29:12,417
Hello.
598
00:29:12,501 --> 00:29:13,543
Now come, Kenneth.
599
00:29:13,627 --> 00:29:15,211
School's out.
You can say it.
600
00:29:15,295 --> 00:29:16,671
Rupert,
you're the same as ever.
601
00:29:16,755 --> 00:29:18,381
It's awfully good
to see you again.
602
00:29:18,465 --> 00:29:19,465
Why?
603
00:29:19,550 --> 00:29:20,550
Well...
604
00:29:21,427 --> 00:29:24,762
Don't mind me. Very
pleased to see you again.
605
00:29:24,847 --> 00:29:27,807
And that bears a curious
resemblance to champagne.
606
00:29:27,891 --> 00:29:29,016
It is.
607
00:29:29,101 --> 00:29:31,144
It's very good champagne, too.
What's the occasion?
608
00:29:31,228 --> 00:29:32,562
(STUTTERS)
I told you on the phone.
609
00:29:32,646 --> 00:29:35,273
It began as a little
party for Mr. Kentley,
610
00:29:35,357 --> 00:29:37,650
so he could look over
those first editions.
611
00:29:37,734 --> 00:29:39,777
Then it turned out Phillip and
I were going to the country...
612
00:29:39,862 --> 00:29:41,946
Yes, you told me that,
too, Brandon.
613
00:29:42,030 --> 00:29:43,156
- Did I?
- Yeah.
614
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,492
Well, I thought I'd make it
sort of a farewell for Phillip.
615
00:29:46,577 --> 00:29:47,577
Therefore, champagne?
616
00:29:47,661 --> 00:29:48,619
Yes.
617
00:29:48,704 --> 00:29:49,954
I see.
618
00:29:50,038 --> 00:29:51,789
Well, it's true.
619
00:29:51,874 --> 00:29:54,917
You always did stutter
when you were excited.
620
00:29:55,002 --> 00:29:57,920
Well, I guess I'm always
excited when I give a party.
621
00:29:58,046 --> 00:29:59,630
- Really?
- MRS. WILSON: Mr. Cadell!
622
00:29:59,715 --> 00:30:01,340
Oh, Mrs. Wilson.
623
00:30:02,509 --> 00:30:05,011
Well, what have we here?
624
00:30:05,095 --> 00:30:06,971
(WHISPERING) I got that
special p�t� you like.
625
00:30:07,055 --> 00:30:08,598
I don't like it anymore.
626
00:30:08,682 --> 00:30:09,807
- Oh, no!
- No, no, no,
627
00:30:09,892 --> 00:30:10,975
I'm just teasing.
Just teasing.
628
00:30:11,059 --> 00:30:12,894
Oh, you're awful.
629
00:30:12,978 --> 00:30:14,729
Thank you. Thank you.
630
00:30:14,813 --> 00:30:16,731
You'd better get
along with the carving.
631
00:30:16,815 --> 00:30:18,900
The rest of the things'll
be here in two shakes.
632
00:30:18,984 --> 00:30:21,277
Oh, Mr. Brandon!
I found it.
633
00:30:21,361 --> 00:30:24,113
I haven't the least notion
what it was she lost.
634
00:30:24,198 --> 00:30:26,115
Wonderful Mrs. Wilson.
635
00:30:27,075 --> 00:30:29,368
I may marry her.
636
00:30:29,453 --> 00:30:32,371
(GASPS) It looks heavenly.
I hope David gets here soon.
637
00:30:32,456 --> 00:30:33,623
Yes, where is David?
638
00:30:33,749 --> 00:30:34,957
I haven't
the faintest idea.
639
00:30:35,083 --> 00:30:37,502
But he's so late, Mr. Kentley's
getting annoyed.
640
00:30:37,586 --> 00:30:39,253
And you?
641
00:30:39,338 --> 00:30:40,922
Me? I'm hungry.
642
00:30:41,006 --> 00:30:43,049
Brandon, exactly
what is this?
643
00:30:43,133 --> 00:30:44,759
A cassone
I got in Italy.
644
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:46,677
No, I mean why are
we eating off it?
645
00:30:46,762 --> 00:30:50,056
Oh, I've turned the dining
room into a library.
646
00:30:50,140 --> 00:30:52,600
Trust you to find
a new use for a chest.
647
00:30:52,684 --> 00:30:56,812
One was always turning up in the bedtime
stories he told in prep school.
648
00:30:56,897 --> 00:31:01,692
The Mistletoe Bough, that was always
your favorite tale, wasn't it?
649
00:31:01,777 --> 00:31:03,277
What was that one about?
650
00:31:03,362 --> 00:31:04,904
I don't remember
exactly how it started.
651
00:31:04,988 --> 00:31:06,322
It was about
a lovely young girl...
652
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,657
She was a bride-to-be.
653
00:31:07,741 --> 00:31:10,701
And on her wedding day, she
playfully hid herself in a chest.
654
00:31:10,786 --> 00:31:11,827
Yes, that's right.
655
00:31:11,912 --> 00:31:14,205
Unfortunately,
it had a spring lock.
656
00:31:14,289 --> 00:31:16,707
Fifty years later,
they found her skeleton.
657
00:31:16,792 --> 00:31:18,668
I don't think
I'll get that playful.
658
00:31:18,752 --> 00:31:20,211
Would you all
please help yourselves?
659
00:31:20,295 --> 00:31:24,173
Talking of skeletons, have you
seen that new thing at the Strand?
660
00:31:24,258 --> 00:31:25,383
Yes, I adored it.
661
00:31:25,467 --> 00:31:26,509
Did you? Good.
662
00:31:26,593 --> 00:31:30,054
I didn't like the new girl much.
Definitely Scorpio.
663
00:31:30,138 --> 00:31:31,264
No, I didn't
like her either,
664
00:31:31,348 --> 00:31:33,057
but her clothes
were fabulous.
665
00:31:33,141 --> 00:31:34,392
Simply divine!
666
00:31:34,476 --> 00:31:35,726
Absolute heaven!
667
00:31:35,811 --> 00:31:37,019
I must see it.
668
00:31:37,104 --> 00:31:39,605
Of course, the man I have a
passion for is James Mason.
669
00:31:39,690 --> 00:31:40,731
Is he good?
670
00:31:40,816 --> 00:31:41,816
Absolutely terrific!
671
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:45,653
So attractively sinister!
Taurus, the bull, you know?
672
00:31:45,737 --> 00:31:47,280
- Very obstinate.
- Really?
673
00:31:47,364 --> 00:31:49,240
But I have
a confession to make.
674
00:31:49,324 --> 00:31:53,244
Do you know I think I like
Mason as much as Errol Flynn?
675
00:31:53,328 --> 00:31:54,912
I'll take Cary Grant,
myself.
676
00:31:54,997 --> 00:31:57,081
Oh, so will I!
677
00:31:57,165 --> 00:32:00,585
Capricorn, the goat.
He leaps divine!
678
00:32:00,669 --> 00:32:02,420
- So much... Mmm!
- Yes.
679
00:32:02,504 --> 00:32:03,754
Absolutely.
680
00:32:03,839 --> 00:32:07,174
Oh, he was thrilling in that
new thing with Bergman.
681
00:32:07,259 --> 00:32:10,595
What was it called now? "The
Something of the Something."
682
00:32:10,679 --> 00:32:14,515
No, that's the other one. This
was just plain "Something."
683
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,684
It was sort of...
You know?
684
00:32:16,768 --> 00:32:17,768
It's right on
the tip of my tongue.
685
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:18,853
Mine, too.
686
00:32:18,937 --> 00:32:21,814
It was just plain "Something." I'm sure.
I adored it.
687
00:32:21,898 --> 00:32:23,441
And Bergman!
688
00:32:23,525 --> 00:32:25,276
She's the Virgo type!
689
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,278
Like all these...
You know?
690
00:32:27,362 --> 00:32:29,030
Oh, I think
she's lovely.
691
00:32:29,114 --> 00:32:33,367
I once went to the movies.
I saw Mary Pickford.
692
00:32:33,452 --> 00:32:36,370
I was mad about her!
Didn't you love her?
693
00:32:36,455 --> 00:32:38,414
The Virgo type, rather,
like all of these...
694
00:32:38,498 --> 00:32:40,082
Well, what did you
see her in?
695
00:32:40,167 --> 00:32:41,792
I don't quite recall.
696
00:32:41,877 --> 00:32:44,503
"The Something Something."
697
00:32:44,588 --> 00:32:47,048
Or was it just
plain "Something"?
698
00:32:47,132 --> 00:32:48,799
Really something
rather like that.
699
00:32:48,884 --> 00:32:49,967
I don't believe
you ever went.
700
00:32:50,052 --> 00:32:51,093
Really?
701
00:32:52,721 --> 00:32:55,097
(SOFTLY) If I were you, I'd
go easy on the p�t�, dear.
702
00:32:55,182 --> 00:32:56,307
Calories.
703
00:32:56,391 --> 00:32:58,017
Come on, Kenneth,
don't be polite.
704
00:32:58,101 --> 00:33:00,978
Phillip, would you mind
helping Mrs. Atwater?
705
00:33:01,063 --> 00:33:02,021
I'd be glad to.
706
00:33:02,105 --> 00:33:03,981
You sit down, Mrs. Atwater.
I'll bring it to you.
707
00:33:04,066 --> 00:33:05,650
Thank you so much,
dear boy.
708
00:33:05,734 --> 00:33:07,360
I really must
apologize for David.
709
00:33:07,444 --> 00:33:08,861
I can't think
what's keeping him.
710
00:33:08,945 --> 00:33:10,613
He's only in town for the
weekend, Mr. Kentley,
711
00:33:10,697 --> 00:33:12,573
and David is a very
popular young man.
712
00:33:12,658 --> 00:33:15,493
Here, let me help.
White or dark?
713
00:33:15,577 --> 00:33:17,662
A little of both on this
for Mrs. Atwater.
714
00:33:17,746 --> 00:33:19,246
What about you?
715
00:33:19,331 --> 00:33:20,748
I don't eat it.
716
00:33:20,832 --> 00:33:23,751
How queer. I never heard of
anyone who didn't eat chicken.
717
00:33:23,835 --> 00:33:26,921
Did you, Brandon?
Oh, you probably did.
718
00:33:27,005 --> 00:33:28,839
Why don't you eat it,
Phillip?
719
00:33:28,924 --> 00:33:30,091
I just don't.
720
00:33:30,175 --> 00:33:31,425
Well, now,
there must be a reason.
721
00:33:31,510 --> 00:33:34,887
Freud says there's a reason
for everything. Even me.
722
00:33:34,971 --> 00:33:37,348
There's no reason, Janet.
723
00:33:37,432 --> 00:33:40,017
As I remember, Phillip, you
have a very funny reason.
724
00:33:40,102 --> 00:33:41,352
- Doesn't he, Brandon?
- Yes.
725
00:33:41,436 --> 00:33:43,479
I knew there had to be one.
Now, what is it? Tell.
726
00:33:43,563 --> 00:33:44,730
BRANDON: Oh,
it's nothing too much.
727
00:33:44,815 --> 00:33:46,190
RUPERT: Well, I think
it's quite fascinating.
728
00:33:46,274 --> 00:33:47,650
JANET: Come on,
Brandon, please.
729
00:33:47,734 --> 00:33:51,278
Well, it happened about three
years ago in Connecticut.
730
00:33:51,363 --> 00:33:53,531
Mother has a place there,
you know?
731
00:33:53,615 --> 00:33:57,576
We were going to have chicken,
so we walked over to the farm.
732
00:33:57,661 --> 00:34:00,663
It was a lovely Sunday
morning in late spring.
733
00:34:00,747 --> 00:34:03,708
Across the valley, the
church bells were ringing.
734
00:34:03,792 --> 00:34:05,835
And in the yard,
Phillip was doing likewise
735
00:34:05,919 --> 00:34:07,878
to the necks of two
or three chickens.
736
00:34:07,963 --> 00:34:09,213
Oh, dear!
737
00:34:09,297 --> 00:34:12,216
It was a task he usually
performed very competently.
738
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:13,718
But on this
particular morning,
739
00:34:13,802 --> 00:34:16,721
his touch was, perhaps,
a trifle too delicate,
740
00:34:16,805 --> 00:34:20,099
because one of the subjects for our
dinner table suddenly rebelled.
741
00:34:20,183 --> 00:34:21,183
Like Lazarus, he rose...
742
00:34:21,268 --> 00:34:22,226
That's a lie!
743
00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:23,978
BRANDON: Phillip!
744
00:34:25,230 --> 00:34:27,314
PHILLIP: There isn't a word
of truth in the whole story.
745
00:34:27,441 --> 00:34:28,524
I never strangled
a chicken in my life!
746
00:34:28,608 --> 00:34:29,608
BRANDON: Now,
look here, Phillip...
747
00:34:29,693 --> 00:34:32,278
I never strangled a chicken,
and you know it.
748
00:34:32,362 --> 00:34:33,738
(JANET LAUGHING)
749
00:34:33,822 --> 00:34:36,449
JANET: Forgive me, but
it just seemed very funny,
750
00:34:36,533 --> 00:34:39,744
you two being so intense
about an old, dead chicken.
751
00:34:39,828 --> 00:34:42,913
BRANDON: Sorry. We were
ridiculous and very rude.
752
00:34:42,998 --> 00:34:46,083
I apologize for both
of us and the story.
753
00:34:46,168 --> 00:34:47,334
Well.
754
00:34:49,629 --> 00:34:51,172
Is it all over?
755
00:34:51,256 --> 00:34:52,506
I'm afraid so, Rupert.
756
00:34:52,591 --> 00:34:54,383
Oh, what a pity.
757
00:34:54,468 --> 00:34:56,927
In another moment, you might
have been strangling each other
758
00:34:57,012 --> 00:34:58,095
instead of a chicken.
759
00:34:58,180 --> 00:34:59,180
MRS. ATWATER:
Mr. Cadell, really!
760
00:34:59,264 --> 00:35:01,891
No. But a man's
honor was at stake.
761
00:35:01,975 --> 00:35:05,436
And personally, I think a chicken
is as good a reason for murder
762
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,856
as a blonde, a mattress
full of dollar bills,
763
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:13,068
or any of the customary,
unimaginative reasons.
764
00:35:13,153 --> 00:35:16,822
Now, you don't really approve
of murder, Rupert, if I may?
765
00:35:16,907 --> 00:35:19,992
You may, and I do. Think of
the problems it would solve.
766
00:35:20,076 --> 00:35:25,289
Unemployment, poverty, standing
in line for theater tickets.
767
00:35:25,373 --> 00:35:28,125
I must say, I've had
a perfectly dreadful time
768
00:35:28,210 --> 00:35:31,420
getting tickets for that new
musical, what's it called?
769
00:35:31,505 --> 00:35:32,546
You know.
770
00:35:32,672 --> 00:35:35,424
- "The Something," with what's her name?
- Mmm-hmm.
771
00:35:35,509 --> 00:35:38,928
My dear Mrs. Atwater, careful
application of the trigger finger
772
00:35:39,012 --> 00:35:41,972
and a pair of seats in the first
row is yours for the shooting.
773
00:35:42,057 --> 00:35:43,474
And have you
had any difficulty
774
00:35:43,558 --> 00:35:45,976
getting into our
velvet rope restaurants?
775
00:35:46,061 --> 00:35:47,144
Frightful!
776
00:35:47,229 --> 00:35:48,437
A very simple matter.
777
00:35:48,522 --> 00:35:52,983
A flick of the knife, madam, and
if you'll kindly step this way.
778
00:35:53,068 --> 00:35:56,779
No, step over
the head waiter's body.
779
00:35:56,905 --> 00:35:59,990
Thank you, and here's your table.
(LAUGHS)
780
00:36:00,075 --> 00:36:01,283
JANET: Rupert,
you're the end.
781
00:36:01,368 --> 00:36:03,661
KENNETH: There's a hotel clerk I
could cheerfully flick a knife at.
782
00:36:03,745 --> 00:36:07,998
Oh, no, sorry. Knives may not
be used on hotel employees.
783
00:36:08,083 --> 00:36:11,627
They are in the "death by
slow torture" category.
784
00:36:11,711 --> 00:36:12,795
Ohh!
785
00:36:12,879 --> 00:36:16,966
Along with bird lovers, small
children, and tap dancers.
786
00:36:17,050 --> 00:36:18,843
Landlords, of course,
are another matter.
787
00:36:18,927 --> 00:36:22,972
You seeking an apartment?
Call on our Ms. Sash Weight
788
00:36:23,056 --> 00:36:24,682
of the blunt
instrument department.
789
00:36:24,766 --> 00:36:27,852
What a divine idea!
790
00:36:27,936 --> 00:36:30,604
If it suits your purpose,
merely...
791
00:36:31,439 --> 00:36:33,732
But then we'd all be
murdering each other.
792
00:36:33,817 --> 00:36:35,359
Oh, no. Oh, no.
793
00:36:35,443 --> 00:36:40,030
After all, murder is,
or should be, an art,
794
00:36:40,115 --> 00:36:43,534
not one of the seven lively,
perhaps, but an art nevertheless.
795
00:36:43,618 --> 00:36:48,122
As such, the privilege of
committing it should be reserved
796
00:36:48,206 --> 00:36:51,750
for those few who are really
superior individuals.
797
00:36:51,835 --> 00:36:53,961
And the victims,
inferior beings
798
00:36:54,045 --> 00:36:55,754
whose lives are
unimportant anyway.
799
00:36:55,839 --> 00:36:59,383
RUPERT: Obviously. Now mind you,
I don't hold with the extremists
800
00:36:59,467 --> 00:37:02,428
who feel that there should be open
season for murder all year round.
801
00:37:02,512 --> 00:37:07,600
No, personally, I would prefer
to have "Cut a Throat Week."
802
00:37:07,684 --> 00:37:08,684
Oh!
803
00:37:08,768 --> 00:37:11,729
Or "Strangulation Day."
804
00:37:12,814 --> 00:37:15,733
Probably a symptom of approaching
senility, but I must confess
805
00:37:15,817 --> 00:37:19,403
that I really don't
appreciate this morbid humor.
806
00:37:19,487 --> 00:37:21,071
Well, the humor
was unintentional.
807
00:37:21,156 --> 00:37:22,573
You're not serious
about these theories?
808
00:37:22,657 --> 00:37:24,033
Of course, he is.
809
00:37:24,117 --> 00:37:25,367
Oh, you're both
pulling my leg.
810
00:37:25,452 --> 00:37:26,744
No. Why do you
think that?
811
00:37:26,828 --> 00:37:29,246
Well, Brandon, the notion
that murder is an art
812
00:37:29,331 --> 00:37:32,207
which a few superior beings
should be allowed to practice...
813
00:37:32,292 --> 00:37:34,209
RUPERT: In season!
(ALL CHUCKLE)
814
00:37:34,294 --> 00:37:35,669
Now I know
you're not serious.
815
00:37:35,754 --> 00:37:37,087
RUPERT: But I am.
816
00:37:37,172 --> 00:37:38,130
I'm a very serious fellow.
817
00:37:38,214 --> 00:37:39,256
Then may I ask,
818
00:37:39,341 --> 00:37:41,467
who is to decide
the human being is inferior,
819
00:37:41,551 --> 00:37:43,719
and therefore
a suitable victim for murder?
820
00:37:43,803 --> 00:37:45,429
The few who are privileged
to commit murder.
821
00:37:45,513 --> 00:37:47,681
And just who might they be?
822
00:37:49,351 --> 00:37:52,019
Oh, myself, Phillip,
823
00:37:52,938 --> 00:37:54,897
possibly Rupert.
824
00:37:54,981 --> 00:37:57,274
RUPERT: Oh, I'm sorry,
Kenneth, you're out.
825
00:37:57,359 --> 00:37:58,442
Gentlemen, I'm serious.
826
00:37:58,526 --> 00:37:59,610
So are we, Mr. Kentley.
827
00:37:59,694 --> 00:38:03,322
The few are those men of such
intellectual and cultural superiority
828
00:38:03,406 --> 00:38:06,825
that they're above the
traditional moral concepts.
829
00:38:06,910 --> 00:38:08,535
Good and evil,
right and wrong,
830
00:38:08,620 --> 00:38:10,329
were invented for
the ordinary, average man,
831
00:38:10,413 --> 00:38:11,747
the inferior man,
because he needs them.
832
00:38:11,831 --> 00:38:12,998
Then obviously you
agree with Nietzsche
833
00:38:13,083 --> 00:38:14,249
and his theory
of the superman.
834
00:38:14,334 --> 00:38:16,210
- Yes, I do.
- So did Hitler.
835
00:38:16,294 --> 00:38:18,212
Hitler was
a paranoiac savage.
836
00:38:18,296 --> 00:38:21,632
His supermen, all fascist supermen,
were brainless murderers.
837
00:38:21,716 --> 00:38:23,467
I'd hang any who were left.
838
00:38:23,551 --> 00:38:27,054
But then, you see, I'd hang
them first for being stupid.
839
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,723
I'd hang all incompetents
and fools anyway.
840
00:38:29,808 --> 00:38:31,058
There are far too
many in the world.
841
00:38:31,142 --> 00:38:32,393
Then perhaps you
should hang me, Brandon,
842
00:38:32,477 --> 00:38:33,978
for I'm convinced I'm
so stupid, I don't know
843
00:38:34,062 --> 00:38:35,604
whether you're
all serious or not.
844
00:38:35,689 --> 00:38:37,439
But in any case,
I'd rather not hear any more
845
00:38:37,524 --> 00:38:41,193
of your, forgive me,
contempt for humanity,
846
00:38:41,277 --> 00:38:43,696
and for the standards of a world
that I believe is civilized.
847
00:38:43,780 --> 00:38:44,863
- Civilized?
- Yes.
848
00:38:44,948 --> 00:38:47,199
Perhaps what is called
"civilization" is hypocrisy.
849
00:38:47,283 --> 00:38:48,450
Perhaps.
850
00:38:48,535 --> 00:38:49,660
Well, I'm sure Rupert,
fortunately...
851
00:38:49,744 --> 00:38:50,828
Now, gentlemen. Really...
852
00:38:50,912 --> 00:38:51,996
...has the intelligence
and imagination...
853
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,457
Please, Brandon, I think
we've had just about enough!
854
00:38:58,086 --> 00:39:01,213
Phillip, where did you put those
books you set out for Mr. Kentley?
855
00:39:01,297 --> 00:39:03,424
I'd very much like to see
them myself, if I may.
856
00:39:03,508 --> 00:39:05,342
PHILLIP: Of course.
They're in the dining room.
857
00:39:05,427 --> 00:39:08,137
Mr. Kentley, wouldn't you
like to see the books now?
858
00:39:08,221 --> 00:39:11,056
I apologize, sir,
again.
859
00:39:11,141 --> 00:39:13,267
I'm afraid I let
myself get carried away.
860
00:39:13,351 --> 00:39:16,228
Oh, that's quite
all right, my boy.
861
00:39:16,312 --> 00:39:17,730
I think
it's a good collection.
862
00:39:17,814 --> 00:39:19,106
The first editions,
I mean.
863
00:39:19,190 --> 00:39:22,317
Yes, I'd like to see them. May
I use the telephone first?
864
00:39:22,402 --> 00:39:25,237
I'd like to talk to my wife. She
may have some word of David.
865
00:39:25,321 --> 00:39:26,864
PHILLIP: Of course.
It's this way.
866
00:39:26,948 --> 00:39:28,657
MRS. ATWATER: Dear, dear.
I'm afraid Henry...
867
00:39:28,742 --> 00:39:29,950
Uh...
868
00:39:30,035 --> 00:39:31,702
- Brandon?
- Yes.
869
00:39:32,454 --> 00:39:35,122
You were really pushing
your point rather hard.
870
00:39:35,206 --> 00:39:39,293
You aren't planning to do away with
a few inferiors, by any chance?
871
00:39:39,377 --> 00:39:40,711
I'm a creature of whim.
Who knows?
872
00:39:40,795 --> 00:39:42,046
I see.
873
00:39:42,130 --> 00:39:44,089
MRS. ATWATER: I think
he's definitely Scorpio.
874
00:39:44,174 --> 00:39:45,758
KENNETH: I know
exactly what you mean.
875
00:39:45,842 --> 00:39:49,053
Uh, Mrs. Atwater, wouldn't
you like to see the books?
876
00:39:49,137 --> 00:39:51,055
Oh, I'd love it.
877
00:39:51,139 --> 00:39:54,558
Do you know, when I was a girl,
I used to read quite a bit.
878
00:39:54,642 --> 00:39:57,603
Oh, we all do strange
things in our childhood.
879
00:40:00,065 --> 00:40:04,610
Kenneth, why don't you switch on
the radio or play some records?
880
00:40:04,694 --> 00:40:07,654
A little atmospheric music
goes a long way.
881
00:40:10,241 --> 00:40:13,410
He is such a sly,
little devil, isn't he?
882
00:40:13,495 --> 00:40:16,872
Bringing us back together
again with sweet music.
883
00:40:16,956 --> 00:40:19,208
Don't let it get you. He's always
doing something like this.
884
00:40:19,292 --> 00:40:21,335
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING ON
RADIO) I'm going in the other room.
885
00:40:21,419 --> 00:40:22,544
To see the books?
886
00:40:22,629 --> 00:40:24,880
No, to let Brandon see me.
887
00:40:24,964 --> 00:40:26,381
Do you care what he thinks?
888
00:40:26,466 --> 00:40:27,800
I know what he thinks!
889
00:40:27,884 --> 00:40:31,762
He thinks I threw you over because
David has a bigger bank account.
890
00:40:31,846 --> 00:40:34,181
Then why do you go?
891
00:40:34,265 --> 00:40:37,017
Because...
892
00:40:37,102 --> 00:40:39,436
Because I'm embarrassed
at being here with you.
893
00:40:39,521 --> 00:40:41,522
Oh, Janet.
894
00:40:41,606 --> 00:40:43,607
Never thought I
could be, did you?
895
00:40:43,691 --> 00:40:45,984
Honestly? No.
896
00:40:46,986 --> 00:40:50,739
Well, I am, and I don't
like it one bit.
897
00:40:50,824 --> 00:40:53,784
I should think you'd have the
decency to be embarrassed yourself.
898
00:40:53,868 --> 00:40:55,327
Why?
899
00:40:56,538 --> 00:40:59,081
Well, you threw me over,
chum, remember?
900
00:41:00,166 --> 00:41:03,377
My, wouldn't friend Brandon
love to know that?
901
00:41:05,338 --> 00:41:06,463
What's the matter?
902
00:41:06,548 --> 00:41:08,882
Nothing. I'm just thinking.
903
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:10,467
What about?
904
00:41:10,552 --> 00:41:12,052
Female vanity.
905
00:41:13,638 --> 00:41:17,141
Well, I'm also
embarrassed because...
906
00:41:17,225 --> 00:41:18,809
Go on.
907
00:41:18,893 --> 00:41:21,061
Well, you and David used
to be such good friends,
908
00:41:21,146 --> 00:41:23,522
and you're not now,
and it's my fault.
909
00:41:23,606 --> 00:41:25,107
I'm such an idiot girl.
910
00:41:25,191 --> 00:41:26,441
No, you're not.
911
00:41:26,526 --> 00:41:30,028
Then I'm certainly giving
a good imitation of one.
912
00:41:30,113 --> 00:41:33,657
Why must I try and be so smart
with everyone but David?
913
00:41:33,741 --> 00:41:35,993
Don't you kid
with David, too?
914
00:41:37,412 --> 00:41:40,873
I relax with David,
thanks to you.
915
00:41:41,583 --> 00:41:43,083
- To me?
- Yes.
916
00:41:43,168 --> 00:41:44,793
(GUESTS LAUGHING)
917
00:41:46,421 --> 00:41:50,507
That grim Sunday at Harvard,
when you called it quits,
918
00:41:51,426 --> 00:41:53,510
David took me for a walk.
919
00:41:54,429 --> 00:41:56,889
My chin was about
an inch from the ground.
920
00:41:56,973 --> 00:41:59,850
I just couldn't
be the gay girl.
921
00:41:59,934 --> 00:42:02,853
I just relaxed and
let everything pour out.
922
00:42:04,939 --> 00:42:07,107
The real, real me stuff.
923
00:42:08,026 --> 00:42:12,196
Did you hear that phrase? I hear
myself saying things like that and...
924
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,114
- Oh, where's David?
- You know,
925
00:42:15,491 --> 00:42:17,201
I'm not very smart.
926
00:42:18,077 --> 00:42:19,453
Why?
927
00:42:20,288 --> 00:42:22,456
I never realized you were...
928
00:42:25,043 --> 00:42:27,711
Brandon and
his atmospheric music.
929
00:42:27,795 --> 00:42:30,631
You are in love
with David, aren't you?
930
00:42:30,715 --> 00:42:31,965
Yes.
931
00:42:33,927 --> 00:42:35,093
I don't get it.
932
00:42:35,178 --> 00:42:36,345
Get what?
933
00:42:36,429 --> 00:42:38,263
Brandon made a crack
when I got here.
934
00:42:38,348 --> 00:42:40,390
He sort of implied I'd have a
better chance with you again
935
00:42:40,475 --> 00:42:41,516
because David would
be out of the running.
936
00:42:41,601 --> 00:42:43,894
Wait. You mean,
before I got here,
937
00:42:43,978 --> 00:42:45,103
Brandon knew
we had broken...
938
00:42:45,188 --> 00:42:46,521
He even knew
about you and David.
939
00:42:46,606 --> 00:42:48,273
What?
940
00:42:48,358 --> 00:42:51,276
Kenneth, he pretended to be
completely ignorant when I told him.
941
00:42:51,361 --> 00:42:52,653
- He said...
- What's going on here, anyway?
942
00:42:52,737 --> 00:42:56,198
I don't know, but I'm going
to find out once and for all!
943
00:42:57,158 --> 00:42:58,659
- Brandon?
- Yes?
944
00:42:58,743 --> 00:43:00,535
- May I see you for a moment?
- Certainly.
945
00:43:00,620 --> 00:43:03,413
Why can't he keep
his hands off people?
946
00:43:04,165 --> 00:43:05,582
Well?
947
00:43:06,751 --> 00:43:08,919
Just exactly what
are you up to, chum?
948
00:43:09,003 --> 00:43:10,462
I'm up to getting
you coffee if you like.
949
00:43:10,546 --> 00:43:12,464
Let's dispense
with the charm.
950
00:43:12,548 --> 00:43:14,424
I'd like to know why you had
the gall to tell Kenneth
951
00:43:14,509 --> 00:43:16,927
he wouldn't have to worry very
much longer about David and me?
952
00:43:17,011 --> 00:43:18,929
I don't think that's precisely
what I said, Kenneth.
953
00:43:19,013 --> 00:43:21,598
It's what you implied,
and I want to know why.
954
00:43:21,683 --> 00:43:24,434
Some women are quite charming
when they're angry, Janet.
955
00:43:24,519 --> 00:43:25,602
Unfortunately,
you're not.
956
00:43:25,687 --> 00:43:26,770
Cut that out, Brandon.
957
00:43:26,854 --> 00:43:28,855
Well, chivalry
rears its ugly head!
958
00:43:28,940 --> 00:43:30,816
I don't believe
David's coming!
959
00:43:30,900 --> 00:43:32,859
- Wait and see.
- I don't have to.
960
00:43:32,986 --> 00:43:34,945
He's never this late.
He's never late at all.
961
00:43:35,029 --> 00:43:37,364
And if something had come up,
he'd have phoned.
962
00:43:37,448 --> 00:43:40,534
I think you deliberately arranged
it so that he wouldn't come.
963
00:43:40,618 --> 00:43:42,119
How clever of me!
964
00:43:42,203 --> 00:43:45,122
I might have known you couldn't
just give a party for Mr. Kentley.
965
00:43:45,206 --> 00:43:47,082
No, you'd have to
add something that appealed
966
00:43:47,166 --> 00:43:49,334
to your warped
sense of humor.
967
00:43:49,419 --> 00:43:52,879
Well, I hope you've enjoyed
yourself, Brandon. I haven't!
968
00:43:54,132 --> 00:43:55,757
He's really impossible.
969
00:43:55,842 --> 00:43:57,384
KENNETH: You shouldn't
let him upset you so much.
970
00:43:57,885 --> 00:43:58,885
Something gone wrong,
Brandon?
971
00:43:58,970 --> 00:43:59,970
No.
972
00:44:00,054 --> 00:44:03,390
Janet just has a talent for
being bothersome at times.
973
00:44:03,474 --> 00:44:05,892
However,
I suppose I'd better...
974
00:44:08,396 --> 00:44:11,231
What did you mean,
"Something gone wrong"?
975
00:44:11,316 --> 00:44:13,567
You always plan
your parties so well,
976
00:44:13,651 --> 00:44:15,819
it's odd to have
anything go wrong.
977
00:44:15,903 --> 00:44:18,238
She seems to be
missing David.
978
00:44:19,574 --> 00:44:22,951
As a matter of fact, I'm
beginning to miss him myself.
979
00:44:23,036 --> 00:44:24,578
Aren't we all?
980
00:44:25,788 --> 00:44:27,998
Two desserts, Mr. Cadell?
981
00:44:28,082 --> 00:44:30,250
One for you
and one for me, my love.
982
00:44:30,335 --> 00:44:31,668
Oh, Mr. C.
983
00:44:31,753 --> 00:44:34,796
Well, the others don't seem to
be in the mood for ice cream.
984
00:44:34,881 --> 00:44:37,799
No, though they could all do
with a little cooling off.
985
00:44:37,884 --> 00:44:41,595
My, it's a peculiar party,
not that that surprises me.
986
00:44:42,597 --> 00:44:43,722
Why not?
987
00:44:43,806 --> 00:44:44,848
I could have predicted it
this morning.
988
00:44:44,932 --> 00:44:47,517
Both of them must have got up out
of the wrong side of the bed.
989
00:44:47,602 --> 00:44:49,519
They've been in
a state all day!
990
00:44:49,604 --> 00:44:52,522
Oh, Mr. Brandon says he's always
in a state when he gives a party.
991
00:44:52,607 --> 00:44:54,024
It's the first time
I've seen it.
992
00:44:54,108 --> 00:44:55,817
Usually, he lets me
prepare everything
993
00:44:55,902 --> 00:44:57,903
in my own way,
but, look at this,
994
00:44:57,987 --> 00:44:59,988
the chicken's
hardly been touched!
995
00:45:00,073 --> 00:45:01,365
Well, what was
so different today?
996
00:45:01,449 --> 00:45:02,657
What wasn't!
997
00:45:02,742 --> 00:45:04,451
Mr. Brandon was
in the maddest rush
998
00:45:04,535 --> 00:45:06,536
for me to clean up
and get the table set.
999
00:45:06,621 --> 00:45:08,538
And, oh,
it looked so lovely!
1000
00:45:08,623 --> 00:45:10,874
But then when I was whisking
out to do the shopping,
1001
00:45:10,958 --> 00:45:14,419
he suddenly told me to take
the whole afternoon for it.
1002
00:45:14,504 --> 00:45:17,923
The whole afternoon, after
that mad rush in the morning.
1003
00:45:18,007 --> 00:45:19,383
Did he say why?
1004
00:45:19,467 --> 00:45:21,551
No, just a whim,
I suppose.
1005
00:45:21,636 --> 00:45:23,887
But when I came back,
he and Mr. Phillip
1006
00:45:23,971 --> 00:45:26,306
were going at it
hammer and tongs.
1007
00:45:27,016 --> 00:45:28,392
Oh. What about?
1008
00:45:28,476 --> 00:45:32,687
Well, now, Mr. Cadell, even if I
did know, do you think I'd tell?
1009
00:45:32,772 --> 00:45:33,814
Well, I hope so.
1010
00:45:33,898 --> 00:45:35,065
- Not me.
- Really?
1011
00:45:35,149 --> 00:45:36,566
- I'm like the grave.
- I see.
1012
00:45:36,651 --> 00:45:39,277
Look at this mess!
Just makes double the work.
1013
00:45:39,362 --> 00:45:41,488
After I have
this cleaned off,
1014
00:45:41,572 --> 00:45:45,075
I just have to clear all those
books off the dining room table,
1015
00:45:45,159 --> 00:45:48,036
bring them in here, and put
them back in the chest,
1016
00:45:48,121 --> 00:45:49,496
which is where they
were in the first place.
1017
00:45:49,580 --> 00:45:51,540
Why did you serve
from here, anyway?
1018
00:45:51,624 --> 00:45:53,500
(SCOFFS)
It wasn't my idea.
1019
00:45:53,584 --> 00:45:57,838
I had everything laid out in the
dining room and it was just beautiful.
1020
00:45:57,922 --> 00:46:00,590
Of course on this thing,
there isn't half of the room.
1021
00:46:00,675 --> 00:46:03,009
(CONTINUES SPEAKING
INDISTINCTLY)
1022
00:46:13,813 --> 00:46:15,772
Is she still harping
on her table
1023

It's really much more
convenient, you know?

Because this way, people
don't have to go all the way

throw a damper,
1163
00:52:15,716 --> 00:52:17,550
but if David was home,
I should think
1164
00:52:17,635 --> 00:52:19,511
he'd be calling
instead of Mrs. Kentley.
1165
00:52:19,595 --> 00:52:20,637
Wouldn't you say so,
Brandon?

polite as well as very punctual.

1169

at home, where could he be?

PHILLIP: Don't ask me.
I don't know.
1171
00:52:32,233 --> 00:52:35,735
BRANDON: He might be any number
of places, such as the club,

or the Bradleys
are giving a party,

00:52:37,863 --> 00:52:39,739

down to Janet's.

RUPERT: Why?
1175
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:42,617
BRANDON: Perhaps he decided
to pick her up after all.

I spoke with Mrs. Kentley.

JANET: No. I left a message
just in case, but...
1179
00:52:48,582 --> 00:52:51,000
RUPERT: We might have a better chance
at finding out where he is now
1180
00:52:51,085 --> 00:52:53,837
if we knew where he was this afternoon.
What do you think, Brandon?
1181

where he was this afternoon.

help if we found out where he was?

MR. KENTLEY: Because
someone phoned from there
1187
00:53:07,768 --> 00:53:09,519
with a message that
David would meet us here.
1188
00:53:09,603 --> 00:53:11,229
RUPERT: Well, do you know
who gave the message?
1189
00:53:11,313 --> 00:53:12,564
MR. KENTLEY: No.
1190
00:53:12,648 --> 00:53:14,858
RUPERT: Well, then, obviously,
David ran into someone
1191
00:53:14,942 --> 00:53:17,443
at the club
who changed his plans.
1192
00:53:17,528 --> 00:53:18,695
You weren't there
this afternoon,
1193
00:53:18,779 --> 00:53:19,863
by any chance,
were you, Kenneth?
1194
00:53:19,947 --> 00:53:21,656
KENNETH: No.
I wish I had been.
1195
00:53:21,740 --> 00:53:24,284
RUPERT: I don't suppose
you or Brandon were, Phillip?
1196
00:53:24,368 --> 00:53:26,286
- PHILLIP: No.
- BRANDON: Hardly. We had our hands full
1197
00:53:26,370 --> 00:53:27,662
getting ready for the party.
1198
00:53:27,746 --> 00:53:30,039
RUPERT: Oh, there was a lot
to be done this afternoon.
1199
00:53:30,124 --> 00:53:31,332
BRANDON: Well, you know.
1200
00:53:31,417 --> 00:53:36,212
RUPERT: Yes, I see. You didn't
speak to David at all today, then?
1201
00:53:36,297 --> 00:53:38,631
BRANDON: No.
Why do you ask?
1202
00:53:38,716 --> 00:53:40,425
RUPERT: I just thought that
perhaps he might have called
1203
00:53:40,509 --> 00:53:42,051
to say he'd be late
or something.
1204
00:53:42,136 --> 00:53:44,429
BRANDON: He didn't. Neither Phillip
nor I have talked to David
1205
00:53:44,513 --> 00:53:46,556
since the day we
invited him to the party.
1206
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,057
MR. KENTLEY: That's odd.
1207
00:53:48,142 --> 00:53:49,142
RUPERT: What do you mean?
1208
00:53:49,226 --> 00:53:53,229
MR. KENTLEY: I thought I heard David on
the phone to Phillip yesterday morning.
1209
00:53:53,314 --> 00:53:54,397
BRANDON: Really?
1210
00:53:54,481 --> 00:53:55,857
PHILLIP: Yes, you did.
I'd forgotten.
1211
00:53:55,941 --> 00:53:58,735
BRANDON: Oh? What were you talking to
him about? Did he call about the party?
1212
00:53:58,819 --> 00:54:01,571
PHILLIP: Yes, he wanted to make
sure about the time, that was all.
1213
00:54:01,655 --> 00:54:03,907
Here, I'll help
you with that.
1214
00:54:03,991 --> 00:54:06,284
Oh, thank you,
Mr. Cadell.
1215
00:54:06,368 --> 00:54:07,577
Very good.
1216
00:54:07,661 --> 00:54:09,078
That's all right,
Mrs. Wilson.
1217
00:54:09,163 --> 00:54:11,831
You can put the books back when you
come in to clean in the morning.
1218
00:54:11,916 --> 00:54:14,042
Well, I didn't have any idea
of coming in in the morning.
1219
00:54:14,126 --> 00:54:15,627
I'm afraid you have to.
1220
00:54:15,711 --> 00:54:17,921
Just let the books
go for now.
1221
00:54:18,005 --> 00:54:19,714
Well, all right.
1222
00:54:21,926 --> 00:54:26,596
Henry, Alice hasn't had a word from David.
She's frantic.
1223
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:28,097
I better talk to her.
1224
00:54:28,182 --> 00:54:31,392
She hung up. She began
to cry so badly.
1225
00:54:31,477 --> 00:54:33,061
Oh, Henry, I'm worried.
1226
00:54:33,145 --> 00:54:34,312
What did she say?
1227
00:54:34,396 --> 00:54:38,775
She's been calling every place he might be.
Not once, but several times.
1228
00:54:38,859 --> 00:54:42,779
And now, Henry, she thinks
he may have had an accident.
1229
00:54:42,863 --> 00:54:44,739
She wants you to
call the police.
1230
00:54:44,823 --> 00:54:45,990
JANET: The police?
1231
00:54:46,075 --> 00:54:49,911
MR. KENTLEY: Oh, no, Anita, I
don't think that's necessary.
1232
00:54:49,995 --> 00:54:52,455
David's no longer a child.
1233
00:54:52,539 --> 00:54:54,958
I'm quite sure
he's all right. I...
1234
00:54:56,210 --> 00:54:59,837
Brandon, I think I'd better go home.
My wife needs me.
1235
00:54:59,922 --> 00:55:01,798
This isn't like
David. He...
1236
00:55:01,882 --> 00:55:03,967
Of course.
I understand.
1237
00:55:04,051 --> 00:55:05,468
May I go with you,
Mr. Kentley?
1238
00:55:05,552 --> 00:55:06,844
Thank you, Janet.
1239
00:55:06,929 --> 00:55:08,638
- I'll get your things.
- Thank you.
1240
00:55:08,722 --> 00:55:11,557
Oh, Mr. Kentley,
your books.
1241
00:55:11,642 --> 00:55:13,476
Oh. Yes.
1242
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,396
I can't tell you
how sorry I am.
1243
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,523
Would you call me as soon
as you hear from David?
1244
00:55:18,607 --> 00:55:19,649
MR. KENTLEY: Be glad to.
1245
00:55:19,733 --> 00:55:22,694
MRS. ATWATER: I'm sure the
dear boy will turn up somehow.
1246
00:55:22,778 --> 00:55:23,820
Janet.
1247
00:55:23,904 --> 00:55:24,988
Yes?
1248
00:55:25,072 --> 00:55:28,658
This is hardly the time, but I'm
very glad we had that talk.
1249
00:55:28,742 --> 00:55:30,326
So am I.
1250
00:55:30,411 --> 00:55:31,577
And David will be, too.
1251
00:55:31,662 --> 00:55:32,829
Good.
1252
00:55:33,747 --> 00:55:34,831
Well...
1253
00:55:34,915 --> 00:55:36,666
Kenneth, why don't
you come along with us?
1254
00:55:36,750 --> 00:55:38,668
- Oh, I don't...
- Please.
1255
00:55:39,586 --> 00:55:40,795
Thanks.
1256
00:55:40,879 --> 00:55:42,005
This yours, Janet?
1257
00:55:42,089 --> 00:55:43,965
Yes, I'll just carry it.
1258
00:55:44,049 --> 00:55:46,009
Oh... Thanks.
1259
00:55:46,093 --> 00:55:47,260
I'll get my hat.
1260
00:55:47,344 --> 00:55:48,469
Going with Janet?
1261
00:55:48,554 --> 00:55:50,346
Yes, we're all
going together.
1262
00:55:50,431 --> 00:55:52,140
Well, what did
I predict?
1263
00:55:56,228 --> 00:55:57,895
BRANDON: Good night,
Mr. Kentley.
1264
00:55:57,980 --> 00:55:59,731
I hope Mrs. Kentley's
feeling better very soon.
1265
00:55:59,815 --> 00:56:00,815
MR. KENTLEY: Thank you.
1266
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,276
BRANDON: Uh... You will call me
the moment you hear from David?
1267
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:04,610
MR. KENTLEY: I will.
1268
00:56:04,695 --> 00:56:05,862
Say good night
to Phillip for me.
1269
00:56:05,946 --> 00:56:07,030
MRS. WILSON: I'll get
your hat, Mr. Cadell.
1270
00:56:07,114 --> 00:56:08,865
BRANDON: Mrs. Atwater,
thank you so much for coming.
1271
00:56:08,949 --> 00:56:13,036
MRS. ATWATER: Thank you for letting me
come. I'm so sorry we have to leave.
1272
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:14,203
Good-bye.
1273
00:56:14,288 --> 00:56:15,830
- BRANDON: Good night.
- MR. KENTLEY: Good-bye.
1274
00:56:16,582 --> 00:56:18,166
(LAUGHS)
That's not yours.
1275
00:56:20,169 --> 00:56:22,086
MR. KENTLEY: I'm very sorry
we had to spoil it.
1276
00:56:22,171 --> 00:56:24,172
BRANDON: You couldn't possibly
spoil it, Mr. Kentley.
1277
00:56:24,256 --> 00:56:26,632
MR. KENTLEY: Well,
I meant by leaving so early.
1278
00:56:26,717 --> 00:56:28,676
- Good night. Be careful of those
stairs, Anita. - Here we are.
1279
00:56:28,761 --> 00:56:30,386
MRS. ATWATER: I'm all right.
1280
00:56:30,471 --> 00:56:31,888
(SOFTLY) Thank you,
Mrs. Wilson.
1281
00:56:31,972 --> 00:56:33,389
Good night,
Mr. Cadell.
1282
00:56:33,474 --> 00:56:34,682
You going, too?
1283
00:56:34,767 --> 00:56:37,143
Yes. Yes, I must.
Good night.
1284
00:56:37,227 --> 00:56:38,686
Good night.
1285
00:56:38,771 --> 00:56:40,605
RUPERT: Can I help you with
those books, Mr. Kentley?
1286
00:56:40,689 --> 00:56:41,689
MR. KENTLEY: Thank you.
1287
00:56:43,984 --> 00:56:45,526
(SIGHS SHAKILY)
1288
00:57:05,422 --> 00:57:07,507
Thank you for
a lovely evening.
1289
00:57:07,591 --> 00:57:09,967
Good night, good night.
It's been charming.
1290
00:57:10,052 --> 00:57:11,719
(LAUGHS)
1291
00:57:11,804 --> 00:57:15,431
Oh, Phillip, this party really
deserves to go down in history.
1292
00:57:16,016 --> 00:57:19,727
Well, come on, it's over, and it
couldn't have gone more beautifully.
1293
00:57:19,812 --> 00:57:22,105
Yes, it could.
Without Rupert.
1294
00:57:22,189 --> 00:57:23,272
Oh, but he was brilliant.
1295
00:57:23,357 --> 00:57:24,440
He helped me
say all the things
1296
00:57:24,525 --> 00:57:25,858
I've wanted to say
to those idiots.
1297
00:57:25,943 --> 00:57:28,402
He gave the party
the very touch I predicted.
1298
00:57:28,487 --> 00:57:30,279
The touch of what?
1299
00:57:30,364 --> 00:57:34,784
Prying? Snooping?
Or just plain pumping?
1300
00:57:34,868 --> 00:57:36,744
Do you know how busy
he was questioning me?
1301
00:57:36,829 --> 00:57:38,246
About what?
1302
00:57:38,330 --> 00:57:40,164
Oh, what difference?
1303
00:57:40,249 --> 00:57:43,126
You were busy in there arranging
that other little touch of yours.
1304
00:57:43,210 --> 00:57:44,544
What touch?
1305
00:57:44,628 --> 00:57:46,587
Tying up the books
that way.
1306
00:57:46,672 --> 00:57:49,132
Oh, I thought that was wonderful.
Didn't you like it?
1307
00:57:49,216 --> 00:57:51,926
No, Brandon, I didn't
like it one bit.
1308
00:57:52,010 --> 00:57:53,719
You'll ruin everything with
your neat little touches.
1309
00:57:53,804 --> 00:57:56,389
Be quiet.
Mrs. Wilson's still here.
1310
00:57:58,308 --> 00:58:01,644
Determined to get drunk,
aren't you?
1311
00:58:01,728 --> 00:58:03,146
I am drunk.
1312
00:58:03,230 --> 00:58:06,649
And just as childish as you were
before when you called me a liar.
1313
00:58:06,733 --> 00:58:08,317
You had no business
telling that story.
1314
00:58:08,402 --> 00:58:09,777
Why did you lie, anyway?
1315
00:58:09,862 --> 00:58:12,321
I had to.
Have you ever bothered,
1316
00:58:12,406 --> 00:58:15,324
for just one minute, to understand
how someone else might feel?
1317
00:58:15,409 --> 00:58:16,993
I'm not sentimental
if that's what you mean.
1318
00:58:17,077 --> 00:58:19,120
No, that's not what I mean,
but it doesn't matter.
1319
00:58:19,204 --> 00:58:23,207
Nothing matters, except that
Mr. Brandon liked the party.
1320
00:58:23,292 --> 00:58:28,087
Mr. Brandon gave the party.
Mr. Brandon had a delightful evening.
1321
00:58:28,172 --> 00:58:30,381
Well, I had
a rotten evening.
1322
00:58:31,133 --> 00:58:33,801
Keep drinking and you'll
have a worse morning.
1323
00:58:33,886 --> 00:58:37,263
At least if I have a
hangover, it'll be all mine.
1324
00:58:40,350 --> 00:58:42,435
You know, Phillip,
I've been thinking.
1325
00:58:42,519 --> 00:58:45,062
We deserve a real holiday
after it's all over.
1326
00:58:45,147 --> 00:58:46,981
Where would you like to go?
1327
00:58:47,065 --> 00:58:49,525
Of course, I think we should come
back here for a few days, first.
1328
00:58:49,610 --> 00:58:50,860
Otherwise, it might
look a little like...
1329
00:58:50,944 --> 00:58:54,614
I've been praying I'd wake up
and find we hadn't done it yet.
1330
00:58:54,698 --> 00:58:56,073
But why?
1331
00:58:58,869 --> 00:59:02,997
I'm scared to death, Brandon. I
think we're going to get caught.
1332
00:59:03,081 --> 00:59:04,540
Oh, there's not a chance.
1333
00:59:04,625 --> 00:59:07,043
There was, I suppose, but not anymore.
Why, we're...
1334
00:59:07,127 --> 00:59:08,127
(DOOR OPENS)
1335
00:59:09,796 --> 00:59:11,756
Uh... Is that you,
Mrs. Wilson?
1336
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:15,384
MRS. WILSON: Yes. I'll need a key to
get in and clean up in the morning.
1337
00:59:15,469 --> 00:59:18,095
That is if you're still driving
up to the farm tonight.
1338
00:59:18,180 --> 00:59:19,722
Oh, we're driving up,
all right.
1339
00:59:19,806 --> 00:59:23,935
Oh, well, that's good. You don't look
well, either one of you. Thanks.
1340
00:59:24,019 --> 00:59:25,937
Of course, I could
do with a rest myself.
1341
00:59:26,021 --> 00:59:29,398
But I want both of you to come
back in tip-top, A-one shape.
1342
00:59:29,483 --> 00:59:30,858
- We will.
- Well, I'm off.
1343
00:59:30,943 --> 00:59:34,862
Enjoy yourselves.
Don't forget to write.
1344
00:59:34,947 --> 00:59:37,657
- And mind your P's and Q's.
- Mmm-hmm.
1345
00:59:43,789 --> 00:59:45,248
PHILLIP: Who are you calling?
1346
00:59:45,332 --> 00:59:46,791
Only the garage.
1347
00:59:48,252 --> 00:59:50,169
Hello?
This is Mr. Brandon Shaw.
1348
00:59:50,254 --> 00:59:54,507
Would you send my car around, please?
Yes, right away. Thank you.

Brandon, who's that?
1352
01:00:27,124 --> 01:00:29,250
Probably the garage man with my car keys.
Answer it.
1353
01:00:29,334 --> 01:00:31,127
There hasn't been
time for him to get here.
1354
01:00:31,211 --> 01:00:33,671
Then maybe Mrs. Wilson forgot something.
Answer it.
1355
01:00:33,755 --> 01:00:36,882
Brandon, couldn't we pretend
we're not home?
1356
01:00:36,967 --> 01:00:39,927
With all these lights on?
Answer it, Phillip.

Brandon. Brandon,
it's Rupert.
1360
01:01:03,952 --> 01:01:05,161
What?
1361
01:01:05,245 --> 01:01:07,872
He wants to come up. He says
he left a cigarette case here.
1362
01:01:07,956 --> 01:01:09,290
He wants to come up.
1363
01:01:09,374 --> 01:01:10,958
Well, let him come.
1364
01:01:11,043 --> 01:01:12,835
But you know he's lying! He's caught on!
He didn't leave...
1365
01:01:12,919 --> 01:01:14,295
Shut up and get
back to that phone.
1366
01:01:14,379 --> 01:01:15,671
I won't.
1367
01:01:15,756 --> 01:01:16,839
Get back to that phone.
1368
01:01:16,923 --> 01:01:17,965
Brandon, I can't.
1369
01:01:18,050 --> 01:01:19,967
- You've got to.
- No! He knows!
1370
01:01:20,052 --> 01:01:21,469
Shut up!
(GASPS)
1371
01:01:36,610 --> 01:01:38,944
Rupert? Come on up.
1372
01:01:41,531 --> 01:01:46,452
No, of course not.
He's just a little tight.
1373
01:01:48,830 --> 01:01:52,416
No, but we'll find it
in no time.
1374
01:01:53,543 --> 01:01:54,960
Right.
1375
01:02:03,970 --> 01:02:06,722
Phillip.
Phillip, listen to me.
1376
01:02:06,807 --> 01:02:10,518
Rupert's on his way up now, and
you've got to pull yourself together.
1377
01:02:10,602 --> 01:02:13,562
Phillip, did you hear me?
1378
01:02:13,647 --> 01:02:15,898
Come on, have another
drink if you must,
1379
01:02:15,982 --> 01:02:19,902
but get hold of yourself
and keep your mouth shut.
1380
01:02:19,986 --> 01:02:22,780
It'll be over
in five minutes.
1381

I don't know how much,
if anything, Rupert knows,
1382
01:02:26,660 --> 01:02:28,285
but I promise you,
1383
01:02:28,370 --> 01:02:32,123
he'll be out of here in five
minutes, one way or the other.
1384
01:02:33,166 --> 01:02:35,126
Phillip,
for those five minutes,
1385
01:02:35,210 --> 01:02:37,128
you've got to pull
yourself together.
1386

1387
01:02:38,380 --> 01:02:39,422
Now look,
1388
01:02:40,382 --> 01:02:45,094
I'm not going to get caught
because of you or anyone else.
1389
01:02:45,178 --> 01:02:47,847
No one is going to
get in my way now.

bother you, Brandon.

BRANDON: It's no bother
at all. Come in.
1396
01:03:27,095 --> 01:03:28,554
I knew you were
leaving tonight,
1397
01:03:28,638 --> 01:03:31,390
and I didn't want to
be left without my case.
1398
01:03:31,475 --> 01:03:33,017
- Hello, Phillip.
- Hello.
1399
01:03:33,101 --> 01:03:34,477
I didn't mean to
alarm you before.
1400
01:03:34,561 --> 01:03:35,853
You didn't alarm him.
1401
01:03:35,937 --> 01:03:38,647
I'm afraid Phillip's
a little antisocial tonight.
1402
01:03:38,732 --> 01:03:40,774
Oh? I thought perhaps...
1403
01:03:40,859 --> 01:03:42,818
Any idea where
you left the case?
1404
01:03:42,903 --> 01:03:44,820
No. No, none at all.
1405
01:03:46,490 --> 01:03:48,657
Completely unlike me
to forget it, isn't it?
1406
01:03:48,742 --> 01:03:53,120
I suppose a psychoanalyst would say
that I didn't really forget it at all.
1407
01:03:53,205 --> 01:03:56,707
I unconsciously left it because
I wanted to come back.
1408
01:03:58,627 --> 01:04:03,339
But why should I
want to come back?
1409
01:04:03,423 --> 01:04:04,882
Yes, why?
1410
01:04:04,966 --> 01:04:07,927
For the pleasure of our
company, or another drink.
1411
01:04:08,011 --> 01:04:10,179
Well, that's a very good idea.
May I have one for the road?
1412
01:04:10,263 --> 01:04:12,097
Of course. A short one?
1413
01:04:12,182 --> 01:04:14,517
No, I'd prefer a long one
if you don't mind.
1414
01:04:14,601 --> 01:04:15,684
Not at all.
1415
01:04:15,769 --> 01:04:17,520
Phillip, will you
fix Rupert a drink?
1416
01:04:17,604 --> 01:04:19,271
Now let me see.
1417
01:04:19,356 --> 01:04:22,107
The last I remember
having the case
1418
01:04:23,610 --> 01:04:25,694
was when I was there.
1419
01:04:28,114 --> 01:04:30,533
I was just going to open
the chest for Mrs. Wilson
1420
01:04:30,617 --> 01:04:32,952
when you came over, Brandon.
1421
01:04:33,578 --> 01:04:35,120
And then what?
1422
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:41,627
I think I...
1423
01:04:45,131 --> 01:04:47,132
(MURMURS)
Wonder where it could be.
1424
01:04:47,968 --> 01:04:48,968
Oh.
1425
01:04:49,052 --> 01:04:50,928
Well, here it is
right where I left it.
1426
01:04:51,012 --> 01:04:53,973
Gentlemen, I beg your pardon.
I'm very sorry.
1427
01:04:56,768 --> 01:04:59,103
Well, may I have
that drink anyway?
1428
01:04:59,187 --> 01:05:00,563
Of course.
1429
01:05:00,647 --> 01:05:01,772
You really don't mind?
1430
01:05:01,856 --> 01:05:03,357
No. Why should we?
1431
01:05:03,441 --> 01:05:04,567
Well, you might be...
1432
01:05:04,651 --> 01:05:05,693
What?
1433
01:05:05,777 --> 01:05:08,445
Tired. You're sure
it's all right?
1434
01:05:08,530 --> 01:05:09,863
He said
you could have it.
1435
01:05:09,948 --> 01:05:11,198
- Thank you.
- Don't mind Phillip.
1436
01:05:11,283 --> 01:05:13,826
I'm afraid he's
had a few too many.
1437
01:05:13,910 --> 01:05:18,247
Well, why not? Why not?
After all, it was a party.
1438
01:05:22,627 --> 01:05:24,503
Well, it's very
pleasant to sit here
1439
01:05:24,588 --> 01:05:27,339
with a good drink
and good company.
1440
01:05:27,424 --> 01:05:28,757
I'm glad.
1441
01:05:32,345 --> 01:05:33,762
Please don't let me
be in the way.
1442
01:05:33,847 --> 01:05:35,139
Of what?
1443
01:05:35,223 --> 01:05:36,682
Well, I know you
have things to do.
1444
01:05:36,766 --> 01:05:37,891
What do you mean?
1445
01:05:38,018 --> 01:05:40,102
Oh, packing,
last-minute odds and ends.
1446
01:05:40,186 --> 01:05:42,479
You are driving up to Connecticut
tonight, aren't you?
1447
01:05:42,564 --> 01:05:44,481
Yes, but
we're all packed.
1448
01:05:44,566 --> 01:05:47,401
Oh, I see.
All ready.
1449
01:05:47,485 --> 01:05:50,613
All except one guest,
who must be gotten rid of.
1450
01:05:51,364 --> 01:05:53,449
Well, I'll be off,
1451
01:05:53,533 --> 01:05:56,243
as soon as
I finish my drink.
1452
01:05:57,537 --> 01:06:00,331
There's no need
to hurry, Rupert.
1453
01:06:00,415 --> 01:06:03,751
Thank you. I would
like to stay a bit.
1454
01:06:05,211 --> 01:06:07,212
Perhaps even
see you off.
1455
01:06:08,381 --> 01:06:11,634
I always hate
to leave a party,
1456
01:06:13,053 --> 01:06:17,014
especially when the evening has
been unusually stimulating,
1457
01:06:18,224 --> 01:06:21,852
or strange,
like this evening.
1458
01:06:21,936 --> 01:06:24,188
What do you mean
"strange"?
1459
01:06:27,317 --> 01:06:28,776
Did I say "strange,"
Brandon?
1460
01:06:28,860 --> 01:06:32,613
Well, you often pick words for
sound rather than meaning.
1461
01:06:32,697 --> 01:06:35,115
I don't exactly
know what I meant,
1462
01:06:36,618 --> 01:06:39,078
unless I was
thinking about David.
1463
01:06:42,415 --> 01:06:44,833
What was strange
about David?
1464
01:06:44,918 --> 01:06:46,168
His not showing up.
1465
01:06:46,252 --> 01:06:49,380
You don't think anything really
did happen to him, do you?
1466
01:06:49,464 --> 01:06:51,090
What could have?
1467
01:06:51,174 --> 01:06:53,092
He could have been
run over or held up.
1468
01:06:53,176 --> 01:06:54,802
In broad daylight?
1469
01:06:54,886 --> 01:06:56,428
That's right.
I'd forgotten.
1470
01:06:57,639 --> 01:07:01,225
Yes, it must have been broad
daylight when it happened.
1471
01:07:02,310 --> 01:07:05,688
When what happened?
1472
01:07:07,816 --> 01:07:10,275
When whatever did
happen to David.
1473
01:07:11,778 --> 01:07:13,529
Nothing, probably.
1474
01:07:17,826 --> 01:07:21,412
Still, where is he?
1475
01:07:22,163 --> 01:07:23,330
What's your theory?
1476
01:07:23,415 --> 01:07:24,498
Mine?
1477
01:07:25,250 --> 01:07:27,292
I was considering
Janet's for the moment.
1478
01:07:27,377 --> 01:07:29,002
I didn't know she had one.
1479
01:07:29,087 --> 01:07:30,671
Yes, you do.
1480
01:07:30,755 --> 01:07:33,298
I couldn't help
overhearing Janet.
1481
01:07:34,175 --> 01:07:35,801
I gather she thinks
you kidnapped David,
1482
01:07:35,885 --> 01:07:38,053
or did something
to prevent him from coming.
1483
01:07:38,138 --> 01:07:40,222
I'm not interested
in Janet's prattle,
1484
01:07:40,306 --> 01:07:42,099
but you always
interest me, Rupert.
1485
01:07:42,183 --> 01:07:45,352
Do you think
I kidnapped David?
1486
01:07:45,478 --> 01:07:47,146
Well,
it's the sort of mischief
1487
01:07:47,230 --> 01:07:48,856
that would have
appealed to you in school
1488
01:07:48,940 --> 01:07:52,151
for the experience, the
excitement, the danger.
1489
01:07:52,277 --> 01:07:54,486
But it would be
slightly more difficult
1490
01:07:54,571 --> 01:07:57,364
to pull off now,
though, don't you think?
1491
01:07:57,449 --> 01:07:58,449
You'd find a way.
1492
01:07:58,533 --> 01:07:59,533
How?
1493
01:07:59,617 --> 01:08:02,911
I mean, suppose you were I.
1494
01:08:02,996 --> 01:08:05,914
How would you get David
out of the way?
1495
01:08:05,999 --> 01:08:08,041
You're much better at this
sort of thing than I am.
1496
01:08:08,126 --> 01:08:11,003
No, but what would
you do if you were I?
1497
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:17,885
Well, if I wanted
to get rid of David,
1498
01:08:18,678 --> 01:08:23,223
I'd invite him for a drink at
the club or some quiet bar,
1499
01:08:23,308 --> 01:08:25,476
or better still,
I'd invite him here.
1500
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:27,186
Then no one would
see us together.
1501
01:08:27,270 --> 01:08:28,854
That's good.
And no witnesses.
1502
01:08:28,938 --> 01:08:30,105
Yes, that's right.
1503
01:08:30,190 --> 01:08:31,273
Then what?
1504
01:08:34,402 --> 01:08:35,778
Well...
1505
01:08:38,907 --> 01:08:40,866
Well, let me see.
1506
01:08:42,619 --> 01:08:45,788
At the appointed time,
David would arrive,
1507
01:08:45,872 --> 01:08:49,875
I'd walk slowly out of the room
into the hall, and greet him.
1508
01:08:49,959 --> 01:08:53,128
Tell him how fine
he's looking and so forth,
1509
01:08:53,213 --> 01:08:55,547
and take his hat.
1510
01:08:57,550 --> 01:08:59,760
And I'd bring him in here,
1511
01:09:00,345 --> 01:09:03,597
make some small talk
to put him at his ease,
1512
01:09:03,681 --> 01:09:05,933
probably offer him a drink,
1513
01:09:08,061 --> 01:09:09,228
and then he'd sit down.
1514
01:09:09,312 --> 01:09:10,437
BRANDON: Yes?
1515
01:09:10,522 --> 01:09:14,358
RUPERT: I'd try to make it all
very pleasant, you understand?
1516
01:09:15,109 --> 01:09:18,070
Phillip would
probably play the piano.
1517
01:09:19,072 --> 01:09:22,991
Now, as I recall,
David was quite strong.
1518
01:09:23,076 --> 01:09:25,244
He'd have to be knocked out.
1519
01:09:25,870 --> 01:09:28,413
So I'd move quietly
around behind the chair
1520
01:09:28,498 --> 01:09:30,999
and hit him on
the head with something.
1521
01:09:32,168 --> 01:09:35,379
His body would fall
forward on the floor.
1522
01:09:35,463 --> 01:09:37,756
Then where would
you put him?
1523
01:09:44,013 --> 01:09:45,430
Well...
1524
01:09:46,391 --> 01:09:47,474
Uh...
1525
01:09:48,935 --> 01:09:50,894
Well, let me see.
1526
01:09:54,274 --> 01:09:58,110
Well, I think I'd get Phillip to
help me carry him out of the room,
1527
01:09:58,236 --> 01:10:02,447
down the back stairs, and the two
of us would put him into the car.
1528
01:10:03,241 --> 01:10:05,033
- You'd be seen.
- What?
1529
01:10:05,118 --> 01:10:07,536
Well, you said yourself
that if anything did happen,
1530
01:10:07,620 --> 01:10:10,038
it must have happened
in broad daylight.
1531
01:10:10,123 --> 01:10:11,874
Oh, that's right.
I'd forgotten.
1532
01:10:11,958 --> 01:10:15,043
That means I'd have to find someplace
to hide the body until dark.
1533
01:10:15,128 --> 01:10:18,046
Yes, you would,
but where, Rupert?
1534
01:10:19,632 --> 01:10:20,841
Yes.
1535
01:10:23,636 --> 01:10:25,053
Yes, where?
1536
01:10:27,599 --> 01:10:28,599
(GLASS SHATTERS)
1537
01:10:28,683 --> 01:10:30,309
Cat and mouse!
Cat and mouse!
1538
01:10:30,393 --> 01:10:31,476
Phillip!
1539
01:10:31,561 --> 01:10:33,520
Which is the cat
and which is the mouse?
1540
01:10:33,605 --> 01:10:34,730
That's enough of that.
1541
01:10:34,814 --> 01:10:35,898
Mind your own business.
1542
01:10:35,982 --> 01:10:36,982
That's enough, Phillip!
1543
01:10:37,066 --> 01:10:39,985
I told you before,
mind your own business!
1544
01:10:41,821 --> 01:10:45,490
It really isn't any of my business.
I'm not his keeper.
1545
01:10:47,869 --> 01:10:49,453
With him in
this condition, though,
1546
01:10:49,537 --> 01:10:53,040
there doesn't seem to be much
point in your staying, Rupert.
1547
01:10:53,124 --> 01:10:55,542
That is,
unless you came back
1548
01:10:55,627 --> 01:10:59,087
to find something
besides your cigarette case.
1549
01:10:59,172 --> 01:11:02,424
You mean, for example, to find
if you really got rid of David?
1550
01:11:02,508 --> 01:11:04,301
Yes, that's what I mean.
1551
01:11:04,385 --> 01:11:06,136
Oh, you're as
romantic as Janet.
1552
01:11:06,220 --> 01:11:09,473
I don't think for a moment
that you kidnapped David.
1553
01:11:09,557 --> 01:11:12,768
Oh, I will admit that Janet
put the notion in my head,
1554
01:11:12,852 --> 01:11:14,978
but I never would
have mentioned it
1555
01:11:15,063 --> 01:11:19,650
if it weren't that you seem to be carrying
fear of discovery in your pocket.
1556
01:11:19,734 --> 01:11:20,859
What?
1557
01:11:20,944 --> 01:11:22,027
That's a gun, isn't it?
1558
01:11:22,695 --> 01:11:24,279
(LAUGHS)
1559
01:11:24,364 --> 01:11:27,282
That teased my suspicions
more than anything else.
1560
01:11:27,367 --> 01:11:29,076
And to tell you the truth,
1561
01:11:29,744 --> 01:11:32,412
it really scares me
a little.
1562
01:11:32,497 --> 01:11:37,626
I'm terribly sorry, Rupert. I
don't blame you, but, well, here.
1563
01:11:37,710 --> 01:11:40,128
You can relax. I have to
take it up to the country.
1564
01:11:40,213 --> 01:11:43,340
There've been several burglaries,
and Mother's a bit on edge.
1565
01:11:43,424 --> 01:11:44,716
(LAUGHS)
1566
01:11:45,218 --> 01:11:46,593
Finished, Phillip?
1567
01:11:46,678 --> 01:11:47,970
PHILLIP: All right.
1568
01:11:48,054 --> 01:11:50,263
BRANDON: Did you hear what
Rupert said about the gun?
1569
01:11:50,348 --> 01:11:52,099
He thought... (LAUGHS)
1570
01:11:53,726 --> 01:11:55,519
It's odd the way
one can pyramid
1571
01:11:55,603 --> 01:11:57,771
simple facts into wild
fantasies, isn't it?
1572
01:11:57,855 --> 01:11:59,398
BRANDON: We all do it,
don't we, Phillip?
1573
01:11:59,482 --> 01:12:00,565
PHILLIP: Yes.
1574
01:12:00,650 --> 01:12:05,153
BRANDON: Particularly after a few drinks.
How is yours, Rupert?
1575
01:12:05,238 --> 01:12:07,572
RUPERT: I think
I'll be running along.
1576
01:12:07,657 --> 01:12:09,032
BRANDON: Phillip,
you'll feel much better
1577
01:12:09,117 --> 01:12:10,450
once you get out
in the open air.
1578
01:12:10,535 --> 01:12:12,285
I don't think
there'll be much traffic,
1579
01:12:12,370 --> 01:12:14,079
and we ought to
make good time.
1580
01:12:14,163 --> 01:12:17,582
RUPERT: It's a lovely night. You'll
be driving up in good weather.
1581
01:12:17,667 --> 01:12:22,004
I almost wish I were going with you.
It might be rather exciting.
1582
01:12:22,797 --> 01:12:25,590
Driving at night always is,
1583
01:12:25,675 --> 01:12:28,176
but driving with
you and Phillip now
1584
01:12:28,261 --> 01:12:32,639
might have an additional
element of suspense.
1585
01:12:34,142 --> 01:12:39,312
You were right, Phillip. Those
books were tied clumsily.
1586
01:12:39,397 --> 01:12:40,605
He's got it.
1587
01:12:40,690 --> 01:12:41,857
- He's got it!
- Phillip!
1588
01:12:41,941 --> 01:12:44,234
He knows.
He knows. He knows.
1589
01:12:44,318 --> 01:12:46,153
All right, Phillip. Easy.
I'll take care of it.
1590
01:12:46,237 --> 01:12:47,988
He knows!
No, you won't.
1591
01:12:48,072 --> 01:12:52,451
I'd just as soon kill
you as kill him. Sooner!
1592
01:12:52,535 --> 01:12:55,370
This is what you wanted, isn't it?
Somebody else to know.
1593
01:12:55,455 --> 01:12:59,041
Somebody else to see how brilliant
you are, just like at school.
1594
01:12:59,125 --> 01:13:02,502
I told you he'd find out, but, oh, no!
No, you had to have him here.
1595
01:13:02,587 --> 01:13:04,004
- And now we're done for!
- Shut up! Shut up!
1596
01:13:04,088 --> 01:13:07,424
No! You made me do it, and I hate you.
I hate both of us! I...
1597
01:13:21,606 --> 01:13:23,565
Stupid, babbling drunk.
1598
01:13:23,649 --> 01:13:24,900
(STAMMERING)
I'm sorry, Rupert.
1599
01:13:24,984 --> 01:13:26,193
It's all right.
1600
01:13:27,904 --> 01:13:30,363
It's all right. If you
really want to kill,
1601
01:13:30,448 --> 01:13:31,656
you don't miss,
not at that range.
1602
01:13:31,741 --> 01:13:33,158
Of course he didn't
want to kill you.
1603
01:13:33,242 --> 01:13:35,118
He didn't know
what he was doing,
1604
01:13:35,203 --> 01:13:38,163
any more than he knew
what he was saying.
1605
01:13:38,247 --> 01:13:39,748
I didn't want
anyone to know this,
1606
01:13:39,832 --> 01:13:41,333
but he's been becoming
an alcoholic, Rupert.
1607
01:13:41,459 --> 01:13:44,377
Brandon, will you
step over there, please?
1608
01:13:44,837 --> 01:13:46,713
Phillip's drunk, Rupert.
1609
01:13:46,798 --> 01:13:49,591
Surely you don't take those
nightmare ideas of his seriously?
1610
01:13:49,675 --> 01:13:51,051
Brandon.
1611
01:13:52,303 --> 01:13:54,262
Brandon, I'm tired.
1612
01:13:55,014 --> 01:13:57,557
And in a way,
I'm frightened, too.
1613
01:13:57,642 --> 01:14:00,185
But I don't want
to fence anymore.
1614
01:14:00,269 --> 01:14:01,478
What are you going to do?
1615
01:14:01,562 --> 01:14:03,230
I don't want to,
1616
01:14:03,981 --> 01:14:06,108
but I'm gonna look
inside that chest.
1617
01:14:06,192 --> 01:14:07,442
Are you crazy?
1618
01:14:07,527 --> 01:14:10,278
I hope so. With all my
heart, I hope I'm crazy.
1619
01:14:10,363 --> 01:14:11,446
Rupert, this has
nothing to do with you.
1620
01:14:11,531 --> 01:14:12,614
I've got to.
1621
01:14:12,698 --> 01:14:14,616
- Don't! Rupert!
- I've got to look inside that chest.
1622
01:14:14,700 --> 01:14:18,495
All right!
Go ahead and look.
1623
01:14:19,205 --> 01:14:21,456
I hope you like
what you see.
1624
01:14:38,933 --> 01:14:41,685
Oh, no. No!
(SLAMS CHEST LID)
1625
01:14:41,769 --> 01:14:43,270
BRANDON: Rupert...
1626
01:14:43,354 --> 01:14:45,897
I couldn't
believe it was true.
1627
01:14:46,983 --> 01:14:48,066
Rupert, please.
1628
01:14:48,151 --> 01:14:49,151
Please what?
1629
01:14:49,235 --> 01:14:51,945
Listen to me.
Just listen. Let me explain.
1630
01:14:52,029 --> 01:14:54,239
Explain? Do you think
you can explain that?
1631
01:14:54,323 --> 01:14:55,407
Yes, to you I can.
1632
01:14:55,491 --> 01:14:57,409
- Because you'll understand.
- Understand?
1633
01:14:57,535 --> 01:14:59,661
Rupert. Rupert,
remember the discussion
1634
01:14:59,745 --> 01:15:01,538
we had before
with Mr. Kentley?
1635
01:15:01,622 --> 01:15:02,914
- Yes.
- Remember we said,
1636
01:15:02,999 --> 01:15:06,001
"The lives of inferior beings
are unimportant"?
1637
01:15:06,085 --> 01:15:09,671
Remember we said... We've
always said, you and I,
1638
01:15:09,755 --> 01:15:14,009
that moral concepts of good
and evil and right and wrong
1639
01:15:14,093 --> 01:15:16,428
don't hold for
the intellectually superior.
1640
01:15:16,512 --> 01:15:17,888
Remember, Rupert?
1641
01:15:17,972 --> 01:15:19,306
Yes, I remember.
1642
01:15:19,390 --> 01:15:23,310
Well, that's all we've done. That's
all Phillip and I have done.
1643
01:15:23,394 --> 01:15:26,730
He and I have lived
what you and I have talked.
1644
01:15:26,814 --> 01:15:29,566
I knew you'd understand, because
you have to, don't you see?
1645
01:15:29,650 --> 01:15:31,109
You have to.
1646
01:15:45,833 --> 01:15:47,292
Brandon.
1647
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:54,466
Brandon,
till this very moment,
1648
01:15:55,801 --> 01:15:57,385
this world
and the people in it
1649
01:15:57,470 --> 01:16:01,014
have always been dark
and incomprehensible to me.
1650
01:16:01,849 --> 01:16:07,145
And I've tried to clear my way
with logic and superior intellect.
1651
01:16:08,272 --> 01:16:12,234
And you've thrown my own words
right back in my face, Brandon.
1652
01:16:12,318 --> 01:16:14,194
You were right to.
If nothing else,
1653
01:16:14,278 --> 01:16:16,821
a man should
stand by his words.
1654
01:16:16,906 --> 01:16:20,951
But you've given my words a
meaning that I never dreamed of!
1655
01:16:21,869 --> 01:16:24,788
And you've tried to
twist them into a cold,
1656
01:16:24,872 --> 01:16:27,749
logical excuse for
your ugly murder!
1657
01:16:29,168 --> 01:16:31,836
Well, they never
were that, Brandon.
1658
01:16:32,838 --> 01:16:34,881
And you can't
make them that.
1659
01:16:34,966 --> 01:16:38,760
There must have been something deep
inside you from the very start
1660
01:16:38,844 --> 01:16:40,929
that let you do this thing.
1661
01:16:42,181 --> 01:16:44,724
But there's always been
something deep inside me
1662
01:16:44,809 --> 01:16:47,143
that would never
let me do it,
1663
01:16:47,228 --> 01:16:48,937
and would never let me
be a party to it now.
1664
01:16:49,021 --> 01:16:50,105
What do you mean?
1665
01:16:50,189 --> 01:16:54,484
I mean that tonight you've made me
ashamed of every concept I ever had
1666
01:16:54,568 --> 01:16:57,153
of superior or
inferior beings.
1667
01:16:57,822 --> 01:17:01,783
But I thank you for that
shame, because now I know
1668
01:17:01,867 --> 01:17:06,371
that we are each of us a
separate human being, Brandon,
1669
01:17:06,455 --> 01:17:10,583
with the right to live and
work and think as individuals,
1670
01:17:10,668 --> 01:17:13,878
but with an obligation
to the society we live in.
1671
01:17:15,006 --> 01:17:17,299
By what right do you dare say
1672
01:17:17,383 --> 01:17:20,635
that there's a superior few
to which you belong?
1673
01:17:22,138 --> 01:17:24,764
By what right
did you dare decide
1674
01:17:24,849 --> 01:17:29,394
that that boy in there was inferior
and therefore could be killed?
1675
01:17:30,563 --> 01:17:33,315
(SHOUTS) Did you think
you were God, Brandon?
1676
01:17:33,399 --> 01:17:36,693
Is that what you thought when
you choked the life out of him?
1677
01:17:36,777 --> 01:17:40,280
Is that what you thought when
you served food from his grave?
1678
01:17:40,364 --> 01:17:42,699
I don't know what you
thought, or what you are,
1679
01:17:42,783 --> 01:17:44,200
but I know
what you've done.
1680
01:17:44,285 --> 01:17:46,077
You've murdered!
1681
01:17:46,162 --> 01:17:48,997
You've strangled the life
out of a fellow human being
1682
01:17:49,081 --> 01:17:54,002
who could live and love as you
