:28:00
One thing I've learned for sure, never
look in a window with women's hats.
:28:04
Good day, sir.
:28:08
Makes a very nice impression,
doesn't he?
:28:10
- Yes, rather. Give him the monocle test?
- Passed with flying colours.
:28:15
I hope he does as well in the dock.
This is sticky, you know.
:28:18
Of course. The prosecution will
blast in with their heaviest artillery.
:28:22
All you'll have is one little popgun,
an alibi furnished by his wife.
:28:26
Isn't that an intriguing challenge?
:28:28
I think I'd like it more if it was less
of a challenge and less intriguing.
:28:33
Miss Plimsoll has issued an ultimatum.
In bed in one minute or she'll resign.
:28:38
Splendid. Give her a month's pay
and kick her down the stairs.
:28:42
Either you take care of yourself
or I, too, shall resign.
:28:45
This is blackmail.
But you're quite right.
:28:47
For my first day this has already
been rather hectic. I should be in bed.
:28:55
I'd better get in touch with Mrs Vole
and have her come over. Will you sit in?
:28:59
Thank you, no. I'm in no condition to cope
with emotional wives drenched in tears.
:29:06
Miss Plimsoll, how alluring you look,
waiting like a hangman on the scaffold.
:29:11
Take me, I'm yours.
:29:15
Oh!
:29:16
About Mrs Vole. Handle her gently,
especially when you tell her of the arrest.
:29:21
Bear in mind she's a foreigner, so prepare
for hysterics, even a fainting spell.
:29:25
Better have smelling salts ready,
box of tissues and a nip of brandy.
:29:29
I do not think
that will be necessary.
:29:36
I never faint in case I don't fall gracefully,
:29:38
and I never use smelling salts
because they puff up the eyes.
:29:42
I'm Christine Vole.
:29:45
How do you do?
This is Mr Brogan-Moore.
:29:47
How do you do?
:29:49
- I am Wilfrid Robarts.
- How do you do?
:29:52
My dear Mrs Vole, I'm afraid
we have bad news for you.
:29:55
- Don't be afraid, I'm quite disciplined.
- There's nothing to be alarmed about yet.
