1:17:01
I hope you'll forgive me for....
1:17:05
You know, each time I see you,
I hear that music.
1:17:07
What is it?
1:17:09
You mean my pigeons.
1:17:20
It's these little flutes
that I attached to their tails. See?
1:17:25
Come along with me
and I'll show you how I put them on.
1:17:41
This is how we tie them on.
1:17:43
By varying the size of the flutes,
I can get any notes I wish.
1:17:46
The wind does the rest.
1:17:49
Here's a little fellow who has lost his.
1:17:53
-Was this your idea?
-Yes.
1:17:55
Hold this pigeon.
1:17:59
You suggested my being brought here,
didn't you?
1:18:02
What gave you the idea I'd fit in?
1:18:04
-That was easy. I'd read your books.
-You've read my books?
1:18:08
You do more things.
1:18:10
What have my books got to do with it?
1:18:12
I saw a man whose life was empty.
1:18:14
"A man whose life was empty."
1:18:16
I know, it was full of this and full of that.
But you were accomplishing nothing.
1:18:21
You were going nowhere and you knew it.
1:18:23
As a matter of fact, all I saw
was a little boy whistling in the dark.
1:18:26
"A little boy whistling...."
1:18:30
Do you realise that there was
a British cruiser waiting at Shanghai...
1:18:34
...smoke pouring out of its funnels,
tugging at its moorings...
1:18:37
...waiting to take Mr. Conway
back to London.
1:18:40
Do you know right now
there are headlines shrieking the news...
1:18:43
...that Conway's missing? Does that look
like a man who's life was empty?
1:18:47
Yes.
1:18:49
You're absolutely right.
1:18:51
I had to come to a pigeon house in
Shangri-La to find the only other person...
1:18:55
...who knew it. May I congratulate you?
1:18:59
I only brought you here
to show you my pigeons.
