:23:01
Not to speak to.
:23:03
You see, his outfit and mine
wouldn't have mixed much.
:23:05
Hi. My name's Hardman.
:23:06
I'm Indian army.
He was British army, serving in India.
:23:08
Call me Dick.
:23:09
Royal Scots.
:23:09
- Foscarelli. Call me Gino.
- How are you?
:23:11
- How did you know?
- It was in the papers
:23:13
when he shot himself
after the kidnapping.
:23:14
Beddoes.
:23:17
Mr. Beddoes.
:23:17
Rotten show.
:23:20
Thought he'd been tougher than that.
:23:21
For the pen of a Balzac.
:23:22
After all, he got a D.S.O.
And an M.C. In France.
:23:24
For three days, all these people,
these total strangers,
:23:27
meet in a single train whose
engine controls their destiny.
:23:29
Distinguished Service Order.
:23:33
Yes, I know. We are both
envious of the husband.
:23:34
Military Cross.
:23:35
Mon colonel,
:23:37
Is...?
:23:37
Ratchett was responsible
for five deaths:
:23:39
Is the husband as British
as his tweeds?
:23:42
Oh, heaven forbid.
He's a hot-blooded Hungarian.
:23:42
The suicide
of the falsely accused maid.
:23:44
If you but look at his wife,
he will cease to be a diplomat.
:23:46
Thank God we are not young.
:23:46
The murder of the Armstrong child.
:23:51
The death of Mrs. Armstrong,
:23:54
while giving premature birth
to a stillborn baby.
:23:59
And the ultimate suicide
of Colonel Armstrong,
:24:01
My second husband said
always to ask for change in dollars
:24:02
in the face of multiple
and intolerable bereavements!
:24:03
or at worst, sterling.
:24:05
So for Pete's sake,
what's a drachma?
:24:06
I would have understood his action
:24:07
It is... What do you call it...?
The currency...
:24:08
if, in addition to the D.S.O. And M.C.,
he had been awarded the V.C.
:24:10
My second husband also said,
"Take a book of food tickets, Mama,
:24:13
"and you'll have no problem,
no problem at all."
:24:14
Which stands, as you may know,
for Victoria Cross
:24:15
That just isn't so.
:24:17
First there's this ten-percent tip. Five
would've done the steward more...
:24:17
and is awarded for valor.
:24:19
I think Miss Ohlsson has a headache.
:24:20
Then, in my opinion,
:24:20
Would you forgive us if we went back
to the compartment, Mrs. Hubbard?
:24:22
Ratchett deserved what he got.
:24:23
Gladly, if you must.
:24:24
If you need aspirin,
I always carry it on my person.
:24:25
Though I'd sooner have seen him
properly tried by jury.
:24:27
I mistrust foreign drugs.
:24:29
You must excuse me,
Mrs. Hubbard is upon us.
:24:29
Trial by 12 good men and true
is a sound system.
:24:33
What's the matter with him?
Train-sick or something?
:24:36
Some of us, in the words of the divine
Greta Garbo, "want to be alone".
:24:38
We believe the murder
was committed at 1:15.
:24:42
What were you doing then?
:24:44
I was yarning with young...
What's his name?
:24:47
McQueen, in his compartment.
:24:49
He was interested in the future
of India, a bit impractical.
:24:50
And for dinner this evening?
:24:52
He thought the British
ought to move out.
:24:52
You will have the goodness
to serve me the poached sole
:24:55
How long did you stay yarning
after that?
:24:56
with one new potato
:24:58
and a small green salad
with no dressing. Hildegarde.
:24:58
Till 1:30. It's...
