No cage birds, l stipulated. No cats.
:54:05
No livestock of any kind.
:54:07
Somebody got in here and stole her things.
:54:10
Somebody took Bunnys things.
:54:12
-Bunny?
-Did you see anyone?

:54:14
They came up here while l was out.
:54:19
What sort of a name is that?
:54:21
Bunny rabbits,
with those long, mean heads...

:54:25
and those wet noses
going up and down all the time.

:54:28
Just who is this Bunny?
:54:31
How can you make jokes
when l told you shes lost?

:54:35
Bunny is my little girls name.
:54:38
And you, little duchess,
what exactly does that make you?

:54:42
lm Bunnys mother.
:54:44
And lm expecting a phone call
from the police and my brother.

:54:48
Probably my brother first.
:54:50
The telephone,
that miracle of modern communication.

:54:55
l often wonder why it is...
:54:57
that we communicate so much less
with all these marvels at our disposal...

:55:01
than we did in a more primitive day,
without the wireless and the television.

:55:06
l appear on the television, you know.
:55:10
They pay me
to make use of my melodious voice.

:55:14
l sing rude old Welsh ballads.
:55:18
l recite a few things of my own...
:55:21
and then l give them Elizabethan drama.
:55:23
And all in exchange for one whiskey...
:55:26
served to me in the first aid room.
:55:30
l could, if you like...
:55:32
give you a private performance.
:55:35
Please, just go away.
:55:38
lm told that my voice...
:55:42
is extremely seductive.
:55:45
lt seems to unleash
whole hurricanes of passion...

:55:48
in the breasts of the females
who watch me on the BBC.

:55:54
Perhaps you should sample the wine...
:55:58
before sending the bottle back to the cellar.
