:11:00
That's perfect.
:11:02
"'All of you had either the means,
motive or opportunity,'
:11:06
"said Inspector Doppler,
as he thoughtfully digested...
:11:08
"another spoonful of his favorite pud.
:11:10
'But only one of you had all three !'"
:11:13
Exactly so, sir, and that person is you.
:11:17
That is divine.
:11:21
Well, I suppose I'd better
tell you what happened.
:11:23
- That would be helpful, sir.
- Perhaps another drink would be helpful too.
:11:26
I'd love another drink, sir, but I think
you'll find that the bottle is empty.
:11:30
Quite right, Inspector.
:11:32
That too can be corrected.
Do come with me, won't you ?
:11:36
Now, as you seem to know,
:11:37
Tindle was having an affair with my wife.
:11:40
Now, I belong to that rare breed of men...
:11:42
who genuinely don't mind losing gracefully...
:11:44
to a gentleman who plays
the game by the same rules.
:11:47
But to be worsted by a flash,
crypto-italian lover boy...
:11:50
who mistakes my indifference for inadequacy...
:11:53
is altogether too much !
:11:55
You mean, you couldn't bring yourself
to accept the situation, sir ?
:11:58
Is that what you're saying ?
- I mean,
:12:00
it was the situation I refused
to accept, Inspector.
:12:07
Playing the game is very important to you,
is it, sir ?
:12:10
Playing the game and games-playing.
:12:13
Yes, Inspector.
- I'm not quite sure I see the difference, sir.
:12:16
Oh, it's perfectly simple, Inspector.
:12:18
Playing the game is what
every gentleman does,
:12:21
but playing of particular games
is my special passion.
:12:24
In a way, my whole life.
:12:34
That sounds a bit sad to me, sir.
Like a child not growing up.
:12:37
What's so sad about a child
playing, Inspector ?
:12:41
Oh, nothing, sir, if you're a child.
:12:44
Let me tell you, Inspector,
:12:47
I have played games of such complexity...
:12:49
that Jung and Einstein would have been proud
to have been asked to participate in them.
:12:53
I have achieved flights of the mind
and flights of the psyche...
:12:57
unknown in ordinary human relationships,
