-...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.

:35:02
Did I lend you my latchkey?.
I can't seem to find it anywhere.

:35:05
I don't know. I may have them
both in my handbag.

:35:07
I'll just look.
:35:29
-No. I've only got one here.
-Are you sure yours isn't in your overcoat?.

:35:33
No, I've looked.
May I borrow yours?.

:35:36
-Well, that's a bit awkward.
-Why?.

:35:38
I may want to go out.
:35:40
Tonight?.
:35:41
Yes, I thought I might go
to a movie.

:35:43
What about the radio?.
Saturday Night Theatre?.

:35:46
Oh, no. It's a thriller.
I don't like thrillers when I'm alone.

:35:49
-I see.
-In any case, I'll be back...

:35:52
...before you, so I can let you in.
:35:54
But we won't be back until after midnight.
You may be asleep by then.

:35:57
You can always put your key
under the proverbial mat.
