:51:02
True. It's not as funny as all that.
:51:05
There's an open season all year
round for some creatures,
:51:09
seducers and wife stealers, for example.
:51:11
Now, that's a bad italian joke.
:51:14
You should know. It's your
country of origin, is it not ?
:51:16
No, actually, I'm English.
:51:19
I was born here, in England.
:51:20
Were you now, actually ?
:51:23
Where ? In dear old cradle-
of-the-parliamentary-system,
:51:26
Who-screws-my-wife-merits-
a-large-pink-gin England ?
:51:29
Sense-of-humor-fair-play
England, I mean.
:51:32
Oh, don't you believe it.
:51:34
That's the way a foreigner talks.
What he really thinks in private is,
:51:36
"Filthy, wet country.
Ugly, red, cold men...
:51:40
who don't know how to treat
their pale, pink, cool women."
:51:42
What brought all this on then ?
:51:48
- What are you doing with that gun ?
- Obviously pointing it at you.
:51:51
I can see that, but why ?
:51:53
Because I'm a-gonna kill-a you.
:51:56
You're a-gonna kill-a me ?
:51:59
Jesus ! Here we go again with
another one of your games.
:52:02
Another one ? No, it's the same one.
We've been playing it all evening.
:52:06
It's called
"you're going to die, and
no one will suspect murder."
:52:12
You mean all that steal-the-jewels
stuff was just--
:52:16
I invited you round here to set up
the circumstances of your own death:
:52:20
the break-in, the disguise,
jewels in your pocket,
:52:24
the householder aroused,
grappling with the thief...
:52:27
and gun going off during the struggle,
and then,
:52:30
the final, fatal shot.
:52:33
Knock it off, Andrew, for God's sake.
:52:36
- It ain't funny no more.
- It ain't, ain't it ?
:52:39
- Can you find a flaw in it ?
- Marguerite.
:52:42
- The cops'll trace the connection
between Marguerite and me.
- What nonsense.
:52:45
They'll know that's why you did it.
:52:47
How was I expected to know who you were ?
The law will have every sympathy for me.
:52:50
Property's always been more highly
regarded in England than people.
:52:53
Even Marguerite will assume that
you were, after all, just an
adventurer after her jewels,
:52:57
a petty sneak thief who, in the end, found
larceny less burdensome than matrimony.
