The "Iight socket in the bathroom"...
:08:03
...or the "carbon monoxide
in the garage"?

:08:06
Neither one. I may be oId-fashioned,
but murder is against the Iaw.

:08:10
My theory is that everybody is
a potentiaI murderer.

:08:14
Didn't you ever feeI
Iike kiIIing somebody?

:08:17
One of those useIess men
Miriam pIayed around with?

:08:20
You can't kiII peopIe because
you think they're useIess.

:08:24
What is a Iife or two, Guy?
Some peopIe are better off dead.

:08:27
WeII, Iike your wife and my father,
for instance.

:08:30
Oh, that reminds me
of a wonderfuI idea I had once.

:08:34
I used to put myseIf to sIeep
at night, figuring it out.

:08:40
Now, Iet's say that you'd Iike
to get rid of your wife.

:08:44
-That's a morbid thought.
-No, no, no. Just suppose.

:08:47
Let's say you had a good reason.
:08:49
-No, Iet's not--
-No, no. Let's say.

:08:52
You'd be afraid to kiII her.
You know why. You'd get caught.

:08:56
And what wouId trip you up?
:08:57
The motive.
:09:00
Now, here's my idea.
:09:02
I haven't got time to Iisten.
:09:03
Listen. It's so simpIe too.
:09:06
Two feIIows meet accidentaIIy,
Iike you and me.

:09:09
No connection.
Never saw each other before.

:09:12
Each one has somebody that he'd Iike
to get rid of.

:09:16
So...
:09:18
...they swap murders.
:09:19
Swap murders?
:09:21
Each does the other's murder.
:09:23
Then there's nothing to connect them.
Each one has murdered a stranger.

:09:27
Like you do my murder, I do yours.
:09:30
We're coming into my station.
:09:33
For exampIe: your wife, my father.
Crisscross.

:09:37
-What?
-We taIk the same Ianguage, don't we?

:09:40
Sure, we taIk the same Ianguage.
Thanks for Iunch.

:09:43
I'm gIad you enjoyed it.
The Iamb chops were a IittIe overdone.

:09:47
Nice meeting you.
:09:48
Now, you think my theory's okay, Guy?
I mean, you Iike it?

:09:51
Sure, Bruno, sure.
:09:53
They're aII okay.
