That's quite natural.
I'm sure a jury will find it endearing.

:32:04
Leonard can be very endearing.
He hates that particular shade of green

:32:08
and the socks were two sizes too large,
:32:11
but he wore them just the same
to give her pleasure.

:32:13
Leonard has a way with women.
:32:15
I only hope he has an all-woman jury.
They will carry him from court in triumph.

:32:21
A simple acquittal will do. Now, you know
Mrs French left your husband money?

:32:26
Yes. A lot of money.
:32:28
Of course, your husband had
no previous knowledge of this bequest?

:32:33
Is that what he told you?
:32:35
Surely you're not suggesting different?
:32:38
Oh, no, no. I do not suggest anything.
:32:42
Clearly, she had come to look upon your
husband as a son or favourite nephew.

:32:48
You think Mrs French looked
upon Leonard as a son? Or a nephew?

:32:52
I do. An entirely natural
and understandable relationship.

:32:55
What hypocrites you are in this country.
:33:00
Pardon me, Brogan-Moore.
:33:03
- Do you mind if I ask you a question?
- Go right ahead, Sir Wilfrid.

:33:07
You realise your husband's entire
defence rests on his word and yours?

:33:11
- I realise that.
- And that the jury will be quite sceptical

:33:15
of the word of a man accused of murder
when supported only by that of his wife?

:33:19
- I realise that too.
- Let us, then, at least make sure

:33:22
- the two are not in conflict.
- By all means, let's.

:33:26
I assume you want to help your husband?
:33:28
Of course I want to help Leonard. I want
to help Mr Brogan-Moore and to help you.

:33:34
There. Isn't that
more comfortable for you?

:33:38
Now, Mrs Vole. This is very important.
:33:42
On the night of the murder your husband
came home before 9.30. Correct?

:33:45
Precisely. Isn't that
what he wants me to say?

:33:49
Isn't it the truth?
:33:51
Of course.
:33:53
But when I told the police,
I do not think they believed me.

:33:56
Maybe I didn't say it well.
Maybe because of my accent.

:33:59
My dear Mrs Vole, in our courts
