:33:00
(Phillip) That's not true.
:33:02
l never strangled a chicken in my life!
(Brandon) - Now look here, Phillip -
:33:04
(Phillip) l never strangled a chicken,
and you know it.
:33:07
(Janet Laughing) Forgive me,
but it just seemed very funny,
:33:11
you two being so intense
about an old, dead chicken.
:33:14
(Brandon) Sorry.
We were ridiculous and very rude.
:33:17
l apologise for both of us and the story.
:33:20
Well!
:33:24
- Is it all over?
- I'm afraid so, Rupert.
:33:26
Oh, what a pity.
:33:28
In a moment, you might have strangled
each other instead of a chicken.
:33:32
(Atwater) - Mr Cadell, really.
- But a man's honour was at stake.
:33:35
And personally, I think a chicken
is as good a reason for murder
:33:39
as a blonde, a mattress full of dollar bills,
:33:42
or any of the customary,
unimaginative reasons.
:33:46
Now, you don't really approve
of murder, Rupert, if I may.
:33:50
You may, and I do.
Think of the problems it would solve -
:33:53
unemployment, poverty,
standing in line for theatre tickets.
:33:58
I must say,
I've had a perfectly dreadful time
:34:00
getting tickets for that new musical,
what's it called?
:34:04
- You know.
- ''Something'' with what's-her-name?
:34:07
My dear Mrs Atwater,
careful application of the trigger finger
:34:11
and a pair of seats in the first row
is yours for the shooting.
:34:14
And have you had any difficulty getting
into our velvet rope restaurants?
:34:18
- Frightful!
- A very simple matter.
:34:20
A flick of the knife, madam,
:34:22
and if you'll kindly step this way -
:34:24
Oh, no, step over the head waiter's body.
:34:28
Thank you, and here's your table.
:34:30
(Janet laughing)
Rupert, you're the end.
:34:32
(Kenneth) There's a hotel clerk
l could cheerfully flick a knife at.
:34:35
Oh, no, sorry. Knives may not
be used on hotel employees.
:34:39
They are in the
''death by slow torture'' category,
:34:43
along with bird lovers,
small children and tap-dancers.
:34:47
Landlords, of course, are another matter.
You seeking an apartment?
:34:51
Call on our Miss Sash Weight
:34:53
of the blunt instrument department.
:34:55
What a divine idea!
:34:58
If it suits your purpose, merely...
