:33:01
He died at Tobruk.
:33:04
The rest of the lot there are cousins.
:33:07
There's two of them still living.
:33:09
I must say the family's been thinned out
nicely one way or another.

:33:14
Charlie, before we go out to my mum,
I must tell you...

:33:18
she's a bit mad.
:33:19
You'll like her very much.
She's very funny.

:33:21
But she may yatter away
about my father and my brother...

:33:24
as though they were still alive.
:33:26
Just go along with her.
Do you understand?

:33:29
I understand.
You don't want my Hershey bars.

:33:33
I think it profane to enjoy this war.
:33:38
I never realized what a sensual
satisfaction grieving is for women.

:33:42
I'm not sure that's a very tasteful thing
for you to say.

:33:45
I'm not sentimental about war.
I see nothing noble in widows.

:33:50
You're jealous of my husband. I like that.
:34:00
Mother.
:34:01
You've brought chocolates,
two whole boxfuls.

:34:03
- What a treasure trove.
- I already refused them.

:34:06
- On ascetic grounds.
- You're an absolute flatulent, Emily.

:34:08
Take the things if you want them.
:34:10
I shall have one later
and save the rest for your father.

:34:12
You must be Emily's new lover
since she hasn't bothered to introduce us.

:34:15
You must be her mother.
:34:17
You found the chink in my armor.
What are your religious views?

:34:20
- I'm a practicing coward.
- That's very fervent of you.

:34:23
I should have known
you two would get on.

:34:25
You're as dotty as she is, Charlie.
:34:27
Before the war,
I was an assistant night manager...

:34:30
of a diplomatic hotel in Washington, D.C.
:34:31
What made you say that?
:34:33
Lord, I feel like Alice at the tea party.
:34:35
He's going to tell us
about a religious experience.

:34:38
Yes. It was my job as assistant
night manager to arrange things...

:34:42
for many of the great historical figures
on great historical missions.

:34:46
What exactly did you arrange?
:34:47
Usually I arranged girls,
but individual tastes varied, of course.

:34:50
Of course.
:34:52
It's useful work, anyway,
especially in a war.

:34:55
I was offered all sorts of commissions
in the Army and the Navy.

:34:57
The one I have now. Adm. Jessup
phoned me to join his staff...
