:40:09
BARRY: You don't know what a relief it is
to see you perking up.
:40:12
BARRY: It's good for you
to get away from that house.
:40:15
BARRY: I wonder why your aunt
was so insistent I couldn't see you.
:40:18
Aunt Martha was acting
for my own good, to protect me.
:40:22
To protect you? From what?
:40:27
Look, darling...
:40:29
I know something's been bothering you...
:40:31
and I want you to tell me what it is.
:40:34
It isn't anything so serious
we can't overcome it together.
:40:37
After all, we are going to be married.
:40:40
We can't be married, Barry. Ever.
:40:44
Why not?
:40:45
I can't tell you that.
:40:48
It's just that it wouldn't be fair to you.
:40:52
I think I understand.
:40:53
You're not going to let me in
for the curse of the Allenbys...
:40:56
and all that sort of thing. Is that it?
:40:58
How did you know?
:40:59
Carol mentioned your being
frightened of howling dogs of late.
:41:02
I merely added up the facts.
:41:04
Please, let's not talk about it anymore.
:41:07
We've got to talk about it.
:41:08
You can't let yourself go to pieces
over a thing like that.
:41:12
I'm sure you place no stock
in that silly legend...
:41:14
about your family
being cursed by the wolves.
:41:17
I'm not sure.
:41:20
I know you scoff at the Allenby curse...
:41:23
but ever since my parents were killed...
:41:25
I've had the strangest dreams.
:41:28
Dreams in which it seemed
I lived a long time ago.
:41:32
I took part in pagan rites.
:41:35
I assumed the form of a wolf.
:41:38
I even hunted with the wolves.
:41:40
Those dreams are easily explained.
:41:42
Someone probably told you
weird stories about the curse...
:41:45
when you were a child.
:41:47
Certainly, you don't believe
in werewolves, do you?
:41:50
Many people do.
:41:51
There was an ancient tribe, the Hirpini...
:41:54
which worshipped wolves.
:41:55
- But that was centuries ago.
- Yes.
:41:57
But even today in Scotland,
on nights when the dogs howl...
