Tony, don't make
that martini too watery.

:33:27
Now, where's the picture
of the maharajah?.

:33:32
When are you going to finish
pasting in those clippings?.

:33:35
I shall find time one of these days.
:33:37
Here it is.
This is the maharajah.

:33:39
-Isn't he dreamy?.
-He had four Rolls-Royces and jewels...

:33:42
...to sink a battleship, but all he wanted
was to play at Wimbledon.

:33:45
The poor darling was so shortsighted,
he could barely see the end of the racket...

:33:50
-...let alone the ball.
-You should--

:33:51
Thanks, Tony.
:33:53
You should write a book about all this.
:33:55
Why don't you two collaborate,
a detective novel with a tennis background.

:33:59
What about it, Mark?.
You provide me...

:34:01
-...with the perfect murder.
-Nothing I'd like better.

:34:03
How do you go about
writing a detective story?.

:34:06
You forget detection and concentrate
on crime. Crime's the thing.

:34:09
You imagine you're gonna
steal something or murder somebody.

:34:12
Is that how you do it?.
Interesting.

:34:14
I usually put myself in the criminal's shoes
and I keep asking myself:

:34:17
"What do I do next?."
:34:19
Do you really believe
in the perfect murder?.

:34:22
Yes, absolutely.
On paper, that is.

:34:25
I think I could plan one
better than most people...

:34:27
...but I doubt I could carry it out.
:34:29
Oh?. Why not?.
:34:31
In stories, things turn out
the way the author wants.

:34:34
And in real life,
they don't always.

:34:37
No. I'm afraid my murders
would be like my bridge:

:34:39
I'd make a mistake
and never realize it...

:34:41
-...till I find everybody looking at me.
-Drink up, Mark.

:34:44
-Yes.
-What are you doing tomorrow?.

:34:46
-Nothing.
-Why don't we drive...

:34:48
-...to Windsor for lunch.
-That's a good idea.

:34:50
Come along early, but not too early.
:34:52
-We may be nursing a hangover.
-How about 11?.

:34:54
-Fine.
-We can have lunch at the Kings Head.

:34:57
-Is that right in Windsor?.
-No, it's just outside.
