:40:02
It's much too hazardous.
:40:04
How do you account for all this?
Who brought it in?
:40:09
There is a tribe of porters
some 500 miles from here.
:40:14
That is our only contact
with the outside world.
:40:17
Every now and again, depending upon
favourable weather, they make the journey.
:40:23
-How can we get in touch with them?
-In that respect you are very fortunate.
:40:28
We are expecting a shipment from them
almost any time now.
:40:31
What do you mean
by "almost any time now"?
:40:36
We've been expecting this particular
shipment for the past two years.
:40:40
-Two years?
-Yes.
:40:45
Well....
:40:49
But I assure you, gentlemen,
if there is a prolonged delay...
:40:53
...Shangri-La will endeavour
to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
:41:00
And now, if you will excuse me,
it is getting late.
:41:05
I do hope you all sleep well.
:41:07
Good night.
:41:14
Good night, Mr. Conway.
:41:18
Good night, sir.
:41:25
That's what I mean, mysterious.
I don't like that man. He's too vague.
:41:29
We didn't get much information
out of him, did we?
:41:32
lt seems we should be grateful.
We were in a bad mess this morning.
:41:36
After all, this is quite pleasant.
:41:38
Why not make ourselves comfortable
until the porters do arrive?
:41:41
That's what I say.
:41:43
What do you say to a rubber of bridge?
:41:44
-I saw some cards in the other room.
-Not for me, thanks. I'm too weary.
:41:48
How about you, Lovey? Come on.
:41:51
Let's you and I play a game
of honeymoon bridge.
:41:56
-I'm thinking.
-Thinking?
:41:57
-What about some double solitaire?
-In fact, I'm very good at it.
