1:10:00
Anyone feeling like a bath or a shower
before dinner better be getting at it.

1:10:04
-Personally, I feel a bit sticky.
-A shower for me.

1:10:07
Well....
1:10:08
-I'm going to tidy myself up a bit, darling.
-No, don't go.

1:10:11
I shan't be a minute.
1:10:13
No. There's something I want
to talk to you about.

1:10:16
-Don't go, old man.
-I think I'd better clean up, Bob.

1:10:19
No, I want your legal opinion.
1:10:22
-Darling.
-Oh?

1:10:25
What's up?
1:10:27
I want to get Leslie away from here
as soon as possible.

1:10:30
-A holiday would do you both good.
-What's the use?

1:10:33
-We've got to get away for good.
-How could we?

1:10:35
Can't very well throw up your job.
1:10:37
But I have something in view that's
much better. Come on. Sit down.

1:10:41
We can neither of us live at that place now.
I'm convinced.

1:10:45
-We've gone through too much.
-Well, what is it, Bob?

1:10:47
Something has just come up.
In Sumatra.

1:10:50
We'd be away. The only people around us
would be Dutch. We'd start a new life.

1:10:55
The only thing is, you'll be awfully lonely,
darling, at the start.

1:10:58
I wouldn't mind that.
I'm used to being alone.

1:11:01
-I'd like to go. I don't want to stay here.
-That settles it, then.

1:11:06
I'll go ahead and we can fix things up
at once.

1:11:08
-Is the money as good as here?
-I hope it'll be better.

1:11:11
I'll be working for myself and not
for a company in Liverpool.

1:11:14
-What do you mean?
-Why sweat out my life for others?

1:11:17
This is a chance in a thousand. It belongs
to a planter who's in financial difficulties.

1:11:22
He's willing to let the whole thing go
for $30,000...

1:11:24
...if he can get the money
the day after tomorrow.

1:11:27
How on earth are you
going to raise $30,000?

1:11:30
Well, I've saved about ten...
1:11:33
...and Charlie Meadows promises to let me
have the balance on mortgage.

1:11:36
It seems rather rash to put
all your eggs in one basket, old boy.

1:11:40
I wouldn't like you to
take a risk on my account.

1:11:43
I'll be perfectly all right here. Really.
1:11:45
Nonsense. Just now you said
you wanted to go.

1:11:48
But we're making a mistake
in running away.

1:11:50
Everyone's been so kind,
and they'll all make it so easy for us.

1:11:53
The thing to do is to stick it out here.
1:11:56
These Chinese estates are never any good.
You know how careless they are.
