1:23:00
But I can't get over the way
you gave your evidence.

1:23:03
Everything so exact,
down to the smallest detail, you know?

1:23:07
I'll never forget the night it happened.
I don't mind telling you I was upset.

1:23:11
My first case, you know.
Quite a beginning one.

1:23:13
Do you mind if we sit down?
1:23:15
No. No, of course not.
1:23:19
The most beautiful plantation in Sumatra.
1:23:21
Three thousand acres, young trees. Belongs
to a Malacca Chinese. He's forced to sell.

1:23:26
-Sounds good.
-Always wanted a fine plantation...

1:23:28
...one that I could work for myself
and for my family.

1:23:32
-This is the one.
-Where do you ship from?

1:23:34
It's near a good harbor,
five, six miles only.

1:23:37
I could ship my rubber for less money.
Ought to get ahead fast.

1:23:41
In five, ten years,
I can travel, do anything I please.

1:23:44
I'll visit you boys in Singapore.
1:23:46
Bob, how about a little fresh air?
1:23:48
Not now, Howard. Maybe later. I'm telling
these boys about my new plantation.

1:23:52
I didn't tell you about the bungalow.
Beautiful!

1:23:54
Large veranda, shade trees all around.
There are three bungalows.

1:23:58
Two smaller ones. The Chinese planter
had a funny idea. He had three wives...

1:24:04
...nice Malay girls, and he kept a house
for each wife, but none for himself.

1:24:08
-That is a plantation.
-I wouldn't mind a place like that.

1:24:11
For me, the one house will do.
1:24:13
We shall miss Singapore.
1:24:15
Our friends are here,
and we've had some fine times.

1:24:18
No English in that part of Sumatra,
only Dutch and natives.

1:24:21
It's going to be lonely,
but we'll get used to it.

1:24:24
There'll be the two of us.
1:24:26
But my wife's a good sport.
Always can count on her.

1:24:29
She's not afraid of anything.
1:24:31
We'll have each other.
That's the important thing, isn't it?

1:24:34
Would you excuse me, please?
