0:01:15 > 0:01:17Washington Square.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19HE WHISTLES A TUNE
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Good luck.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51I merely wished you good luck.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Why?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57No reason.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Do you think I need it?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Oh, no. Not at all.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04You mean...
0:02:04 > 0:02:07You just wished me good luck for no reason.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09For no reason at all.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12I see.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Well, thank you.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16HE WHISTLES
0:02:38 > 0:02:41< Nicolai!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Hello, Nicolas.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Come here.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Come on!
0:02:49 > 0:02:52What are you doing up steps?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55The I. The I got loose in your name. I was fixing it.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Something always happens to my name! - Hello, Nick.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- Ticket? We ain't got many left. - We ain't got many left.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Ain't that what I said? - Look, I'm off sweepstake tickets.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- I'm from the Book Nook. - Yes, miss. I'll tell Madame.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- I can't... - Sit for a moment, please.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Any man who'd do what he did to a woman is a beast!
0:03:23 > 0:03:25But he used to be so nice!
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Just sit down now, please!
0:03:27 > 0:03:29< I'm going to telephone him!
0:03:29 > 0:03:33< You are not! Start packing or you'll miss your train.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35< Maybe he didn't mean it.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40He meant it. No son-in-law of mine will strike a woman and get away with it.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Mother! Don't pack that dress.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Why not? Because HE picked it out. It reminds me of him.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I beg your pardon, Madame...
0:03:49 > 0:03:51We're busy. A lady from the shop is here.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Well, I'll get rid of this. What are you going to do?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Send it back. I don't know what you'd do without your mother.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Take this to Lucille. I'm making her a present of it.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06But I'm from the Book Nook.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10All right, then. You keep it. I make you a present of it.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I couldn't accept.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Please do. It cost over 300.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17It's never been worn. It's so lovely. >
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Well... Thanks.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24I really didn't expect it. I just came to deliver some books.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I'm sorry your husband hit you.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28But he didn't. He hit me.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43SHE WHISTLES
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Yes.
0:05:04 > 0:05:10Good morning. If you find anything interesting, the price is on the front.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26Aunt Lucy, people could take your entire stock and you'd never know.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30This passion for French novels! Shame on you.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I know they're not entirely moral.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36The French always make everything so logical.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Oh, dear. Oh, dear!
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Where in heaven's name did you get such a beautiful dress?
0:05:42 > 0:05:48- Oh, it's lovely.- Hold it. The funniest thing happened as I walked down the street.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- I passed a man... - Was he good-looking?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- I didn't notice.- Nonsense!
0:05:53 > 0:05:58A man gives you a dazzling thing like this and you didn't notice him?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- He didn't give it to me. - Please tell me how...
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- I just passed him.- On the street?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Yes!
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Uh-huh?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Do you want to know what happened?
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- If you'd rather not tell me, it's all right.- You make me furious.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- I was going to deliver some books. - Yes, dear.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- As I was delivering them, a girl walked up.- The man's girl?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24No. She had nothing to do with him.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Uh-huh.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Maybe I'd better tell you about this later.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Perhaps later it will all come back to you.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- There he is!- Who? - The man I told you about. - SHE WHISTLES
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Is that the man that gave you the dress?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03He didn't give it to me.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06If he didn't give it to you, what did he do?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08He merely wished me good luck.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Oh, he merely wished you good luck. - Yes, that's all. Good...
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Yes!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Yes!
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Here, hold this a minute.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29SHE WHISTLES
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Can I...?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Hello.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Oh, hello. Can I see you for a minute?
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Certainly. - I'd like to make you a proposition.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Good.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47A business proposition.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Oh.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Well? Do you want to or don't you?
0:07:51 > 0:07:57- I can offer you an open mind. - Good, then I'll meet you down at Nick's bar.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- You!- Me.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I might have known you'd find me.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10And it's taken me three years to do it.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- What do you want? - To talk to you.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18I've no time and I'm not interested. You want me to come back?
0:08:18 > 0:08:24Of course. Everywhere I go, people say, "Where is he? Have you heard anything?"
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- That's very kind.- You can step right back into your old position.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33- Money and reputation redoubled. - They don't interest me.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- What does?- If I told you, you wouldn't understand.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41What is this life you're leading? Caricatures at a dollar a throw.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- It's beachcombing. - I know. I even began it in Tahiti.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I like it better in New York.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51You feel bitter. You think of yourself as a jailbird.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54No, I don't feel bitter. But I am in a hurry.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I have a date, on business, with a lady.
0:08:57 > 0:09:03- A date, on business, with a lady? - Yes, so if you'll forgive me. Or even if you don't...
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Nick, I want to buy a sweepstake ticket.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- You said you was off them.- I was.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Now she's on them! We're not to put people off them!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- She ain't off them now. - Ain't that what I said?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- You're lucky.- Why?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- We only got one ticket left. - That proves it.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- What?- A hunch. - It's all you need to win.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Why don't we keep it?
0:09:28 > 0:09:33If that ticket draws a horse, I'll carry you round the block. Piggy-back.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34It's a bet.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Get training. That ticket's going to win.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41What do I lose? He's been riding me for years.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44The novelty would be that it's round the block.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- What nom-de-plume?- Two strangers.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Uh-huh. Me and him got that.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- How about "Two Pigeons"? - OK, "Two Pigeons".
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Here we are.- My name is...
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- Are you the other pigeon? - I don't know. Who are you?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- I'm a stranger.- Hi, stranger.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- I'm a stranger too.- Salutations.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- My name is Jean Newton. - My name is David.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- I'm sorry to interrupt you but I ought to tell you my name. - Thank you.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21Um... Don't you think we ought to sit down?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Yes.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- I hope you don't think this is silly.- Not at all.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I'm...playing a hunch.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Has it anything to do with me?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Oh, yes. It all began with you.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43This morning, you wished me good luck and I had some good luck.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48So, I began to feel lucky. You know how those things sometimes happen.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- I hope this doesn't sound too complicated.- Oh, no.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55I want you to go in with me on a sweepstake ticket.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- On a what?- A...sweepstake ticket.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Oh, I see. A sweepstake ticket. Mm-hm.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Well...
0:11:05 > 0:11:08It was just a hunch.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12You waved a dress at me. Was that something to do with this?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15It was given to me after you wished me good luck!
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Extraordinary. - That's where the hunch came from.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23If you took half the ticket, you would bring more luck.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25And if we should win...
0:11:26 > 0:11:29..that would be...
0:11:29 > 0:11:32very nice.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Mm. Quite.
0:11:37 > 0:11:43- What do you want money for? - I...plan to get married.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- A-ha! A fortune-hunter! - He's nothing of the kind!
0:11:46 > 0:11:51Why can't he take you as you are? As any decent man would.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55It has nothing to do with him. He'd marry me today if I wanted him to.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59It's private. What business is it of yours anyway?
0:11:59 > 0:12:06- You came to me with a proposition. - I just want you to go halves on a steepst... a stoops...
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Oh, forget it. I'm sorry I brought it up.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15- Just a moment, please. Why do people get emotional...- I'm not!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17..when they ought to be objective?
0:12:17 > 0:12:22It was just a matter of putting up 1 a piece on a million-to-one shot.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27One chance! Aren't you overlooking that? What about your hunch?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- What about it?- Suppose we win.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Then I get married.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- And then what? - We leave for Poughkeepsie.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37On your honeymoon?!
0:12:37 > 0:12:40No...We just plan to live there.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Well, what about your honeymoon?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44That will have to come later.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Oh, don't you believe it.
0:12:46 > 0:12:52- And why not? - A honeymoon isn't something you put in storage, like a mink coat.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56It just isn't the same moon. And it certainly isn't the same honey.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06Here, Nick. Here's your ticket back. Forget about the whole thing.
0:13:06 > 0:13:13You want to marry a man who, after a brief ceremony, will take you to Poughkeepsie and keep you there.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Give me a reason to be party to such a discreditable scheme.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21- What man would demand a dowry? Is he French?- Certainly not!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- I want the money myself!- What for?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Because I want to be independent!
0:13:27 > 0:13:33I make my own living. If I wanted to buy anything, I'd hate to ask someone for the money.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37And it would be a help if things didn't go very well.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Yes!
0:13:40 > 0:13:43What does your fiance do? Has he a job?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Certainly. He's an engineer.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Civil? Military? Mining?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- Insurance. - This is the age of new professions.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Will my helping you get married bring you good luck?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01You don't believe in money or marriage.
0:14:01 > 0:14:08That institution, like the Coliseum, is still standing. But it shows the ravages of time.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Look, do you or do you not
0:14:15 > 0:14:19care to purchase the other half of my ticket?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Money breeds avarice, cowardice, war.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Everything that spoils the charm of life.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29But in this case, I might be persuaded to sacrifice my principles,
0:14:29 > 0:14:34if I could do something valuable with my share of the winnings.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36But what's to stop you?!
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Only you.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Me?- I'll do it if you let me put my winnings
0:14:41 > 0:14:45towards a proper honeymoon before you live in Poughkeepsie.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Oh... Oh, gee.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52That's awfully nice.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Oh, but I couldn't let you pay for my honeymoon.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00A pleasure. Honeymoons are one of the things I believe in.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Well, if you insist,
0:15:02 > 0:15:05I'm sure I can convince Freddie.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Nick! The Roget, 1926.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Come on! Get the glasses!
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Miss Newton, let us seal the bargain.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20That's how a good business deal should go.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23At first, a few little misunderstandings.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Each side trying to drive a hard bargain.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29At last, things clear themselves up.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Differences are ironed out.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Frowns turn into smiles.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- And the little cork... - CORK POPS
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Exactly right. Let us drink a toast.
0:15:38 > 0:15:44To what I confidently expect will be the most wonderful experience of my life.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46To our honeymoon!
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- What did you say?- When?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Just then. Those last few words.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Did you say...
0:15:59 > 0:16:01OUR honeymoon?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04That's right.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- Would you mind waiting here for just a few moments?- Of course.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- You'll be back? - You can count on that.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44PHONE RINGS
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- Get the phone. - Have you a couple of nickels?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Mm-hm. Nick and Nick.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52NICK SPEAKS GREEK
0:16:54 > 0:16:56..65 cents.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00NICK REPLIES IN GREEK
0:17:00 > 0:17:02..dinner's Russian.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06NICK REPLIES IN GREEK
0:17:06 > 0:17:08..lunch Italian.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Say, where do you live? - Across the street.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- You move in lately?- Yeah.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Uh-huh.- How much do you weigh?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19158.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Mm.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Could be.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Maybe.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Well, well!
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Well...
0:17:48 > 0:17:51This is Mr Freddie Harper. Meet Mr David...
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Mr David Grant.- How are you?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55How do you do?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Would you mind repeating to my...
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- Shall we sit down?- Why not?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Hi, Nick!
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Have any fights around here?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Every night.- Like clockwork.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16- Make yourself at home.- Yeah, make yourself at home.- Thank you.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Ain't that what I said?
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Would you mind repeating to my fiance the proposition you made me?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Yes, what is the proposition?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Um... First, I'd like to point out it's your problem, not mine.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- Tell him what you told me. - What's my problem, chum?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Miss Newton here tells me you plan to marry.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- I have every hope... - Will you tell him?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Or are you afraid he will misunderstand, too?
0:18:42 > 0:18:48Unless I'm a poor judge of character and intellect, Freddie will understand.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53- Your problem...- Leave his problem alone!- Give the man a chance.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57I just wanted him to go in with me on a...sweepstake ticket.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Sweepstake ticket? - And he insulted me.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- He did? - He said that if we win,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I'd have to go on a...trip around the country.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08What's the matter with that?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11With him!
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Before I marry you!
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- He did?!- Yes.- Did you say that?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I did, but I was really thinking of you.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Oh, you were(?)
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- Come outside.- What can we do outside that we can't do here?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Plenty. Outside, chum.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Stay here, honey. This is not for your eyes.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43This way, chum. In the alley.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46You've got to get us some new glasses.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Want to play some chequers?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12BOY WHISTLES
0:21:28 > 0:21:30DOOR OPENS
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- Jean...- Oh, the poor fella...
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- Your hunch...- Oh! Didn't you... - No, we didn't have to.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- Your hunch is that if Dave goes in on the ticket, you'll win?- Yes.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Dave will go in on the ticket with you.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59On what condition?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01That you marry me, win or lose.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08You said yourself that nothing can go wrong. It's the strongest hunch you've ever had.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13If this hunch goes wrong, when will you ever get another one as good?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- We can't wait forever.- No.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19All right. I agree.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- It's a deal.- It's a deal. Miss Newton, we'll make a list
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- of the things we want to do on our trip.- There! He said it again!
0:22:27 > 0:22:29You misunderstood him.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Yes...- Let me tell it, pal. - You tell it, pal.
0:22:32 > 0:22:38He's an eccentric chap with peculiar principles that you and I don't understand.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41He just wants to make people happy.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- He's not going to make me happy. - Why not?
0:22:44 > 0:22:51- You dare suggest that I go on a thing with a stranger?- He says you'll travel as brother and sister.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- He just wants to be company for you. - Huh! I'll say!
0:22:55 > 0:22:58He's harmless. Look at him!
0:23:00 > 0:23:04He was shocked when you jumped at the wrong conclusion.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Oh!
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Now I suppose I owe you an apology?!
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Oh, that's quite all right.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Honey, he'll show you the sights. The Mississippi, Grand Canyon.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20But for my promotion, I'd like to make the trip with him.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30All right, mister.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I'll get the ticket.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Hey, chum. What are the chances of winning?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Ten million to one.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- Are you sure? - Suppose it's only a million?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50What have I got to be worried about?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Now, non-de-plume,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54two pigeons.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56No. Just say, "Good Luck".
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Wait a minute.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Put down, "You asked for it".
0:24:00 > 0:24:03That's cute.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05That's not bad.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07First prize £30...
0:24:07 > 0:24:09First prize £30,000!
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Say, that's about 150,000!
0:24:11 > 0:24:15It just occurred to me, who's going to hold the ticket?
0:24:15 > 0:24:22- Freddie!- With only this name on it, anybody can say "You asked for it" and walk out with the dough.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- Would it be too much bother for you to hold the ticket?- Me?
0:24:26 > 0:24:32- I trust him, don't you?- I'd be glad to oblige.- Wait a minute.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35You asked for it.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Ah!
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Looks as though you scored a touchdown that day.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47All America, 1935. You tell him, honey.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Er... We went to school together.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53A-ha, how cosy. Well, it's been a great pleasure.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56And don't lose the ticket.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Good luck.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Very strange duck.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06Just what kind of a duck does that make you?
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Those aren't meant for you to look at. You or anyone.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Paul, you're crazy.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Either me or everyone else.
0:25:27 > 0:25:33That's what the world and I couldn't agree on. Even jail didn't settle that for me.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38- That's blown over.- I know, but I like the way I'm living now. I like the view.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43Are you in love with that Greenwich Village maiden? Is that it?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46No. Love is something else I've given up.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Then what is keeping you here?
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Among other things, the prospect of a journey.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57Into the absurd with a delightful companion, no consequences and no regrets.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02- A million-to-one chance, but it's worth taking.- I give you up.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I rather hoped you would.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Oh, Freddie, look! - What's it all about?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- I knew he'd bring me luck! - What did you say?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Hey, Jean. Your ticket drew a horse!
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- Isn't that wonderful! - But my horse talks. Talk, dummy!
0:26:33 > 0:26:36The race isn't run until next week.
0:26:36 > 0:26:42She drew a horse so the ticket is worth 12,000. If you want to sell, get in touch with the man.
0:26:53 > 0:26:5612,000! Don't you think you should sell?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- I can't until I talk to him.- Who?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- That fella.- Wait till he hears about the 12,000.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07- You'll miss your train.- How can I go with this hanging over me?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Good evening.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14He's lucky enough to draw a horse and all he says is good evening.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17You heard the news? Good night.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- Wait! What's his name?- David Grant. - Come back, Dave.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24- We've got to have a talk.- Really?
0:27:24 > 0:27:29That's no way to act, walking out like that. We have a problem.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- Have we?- You're peculiar.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Isn't he, Jean? Popping in and out like that.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38- I'm sorry.- We haven't got just a ticket any more.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42We've got a negotiable asset worth 12,000. Cash.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47- Perhaps Dave... Mr Grant...- I have to catch a train so I'll be brief.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51We've got to make up our minds what we want to do.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Take the cash or risk it all to win 150,000.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Taking everything into consideration, we have to sell.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02What do you say, Miss Newton? It's fair to warn you,
0:28:02 > 0:28:06that selling won't furnish the honeymoon I hoped for.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- What?! - I beg your pardon, what, what?
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- You can't go through with a mad scheme like that!- Why not?
0:28:13 > 0:28:15It's impossible.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17It will be misunderstood.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19By whom?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Well... By everybody, that's by whom!
0:28:22 > 0:28:27It's your opinion. A deplorable lack of confidence in Miss Newton.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30In any event, I leave it to Miss Newton.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Jean, before you commit yourself,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35there's more than one side to a question.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38There's the short view and the...long one.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43Not taking the cash now might be from one angle pleasant enough.
0:28:43 > 0:28:49Suppose Patsy Q wins! How will we feel when, instead of a few thousand,
0:28:49 > 0:28:51we might have 150,000.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55Let's take a chance and play for big stakes! What do you say?
0:28:55 > 0:28:58I say nothing.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01I leave it entirely up to Mr Grant.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03How about it, Dave?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06If we sell now, we'll get something out of it.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10Perhaps not a glorious safari, but something.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12But if we gamble and lose,
0:29:12 > 0:29:15which is theoretically not unlikely...
0:29:15 > 0:29:17What's the answer?
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- Er... Let's gamble. - Great! That's great!
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Then it's all settled.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Who... I've got to catch my train and I'm late.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30I'll take a taxi to 14th Street.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Will my honey miss her boy alone in Poughkeepsie?
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- Goodbye.- Don't miss your train.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Bye, chum. I hope we didn't make a mistake.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- Goodbye, honey.- Bye-bye.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50See you at the races.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Miss Newton.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Just a minute.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57I'd like to ask you, why didn't you want to sell?
0:29:57 > 0:30:02- Would you rather have a smaller excursion?- Don't be silly.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- That's why I didn't sell. To please you.- Me?
0:30:05 > 0:30:09To please both of us. The trip will take a lot of money.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11JEAN GASPS
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Oh...
0:30:13 > 0:30:16What kind of a man are you?
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- I like to travel.- What makes you think I'd go with you anyway?
0:30:20 > 0:30:24It almost escaped me until I looked a little closer.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29- What?- An adventurous little twinkle in your right eye.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31You're crazy.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33You are crazy!
0:30:33 > 0:30:37I am a perfectly conventional person. Straight-laced!
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- But you're not dull.- I am.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43I am! I could be the dullest person you ever met!
0:30:43 > 0:30:47My dear Miss Newton, would you allow me to take the risk?
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Good night.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20I never heard of such a thing!
0:31:21 > 0:31:23- MUSIC ON RADIO - I'll go.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Oh, it's you! It's him!
0:31:25 > 0:31:27May a neighbour listen in?
0:31:27 > 0:31:32- Certainly. We take you for a very interesting man.- How right you are.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Don't be frightened. He won't bite. - I don't know.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- We think you have a very fine head. - Lucy!

0:32:10 > 0:32:12I guess I'd better be going.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21At least we won't have to pose for the newsreels.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Cheer up, Aunt Lucy. Maybe it's just as well.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36Perhaps for you. But you know, I'm sorry she missed that trip with you.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39I appreciate the very nice compliment.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Aren't you even sorry?
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Of course I'm sorry. I've been stupid.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46I am stupid. Very stupid.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52PHONE RINGS
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Yes? Oh, hello, Freddie.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Honey, I suppose you just heard the news.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06- Yes.- Too bad, huh? Well, didn't you get it?
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- What?- You mean to tell me... Didn't they deliver an envelope?
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Envelope? Who?
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Oh, well, here they come now.
0:33:15 > 0:33:20Jean, we were supposed to deliver this to you at one o'clock!
0:33:20 > 0:33:22- One o'clock on the dot.- What is it?
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- Ten hey!- Ten hey!
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Well, what is...?
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- What is it, dear? - Freddie's on the phone.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Where did it come from?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- Did you count it?- Count it. Whose is it?
0:33:37 > 0:33:41It's ours! I sold our...your half of the ticket.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45My half! He sold half the ticket.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Sure, six thousand bucks.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Did you think I'd let that guy go off with my girl?
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Freddie,
0:33:53 > 0:33:55we went 50-50.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20Mr Grant!
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Mr Grant?
0:34:54 > 0:34:56- Is something up?- Yes.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- The other 28 horses were disqualified?- No.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01It's just that er... I mean, er...
0:35:01 > 0:35:04He sold half the ticket and here it is.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Who sold what?
0:35:06 > 0:35:11Freddie decided we should gamble only with one half. There's the money.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Six thousand dollars! Good old Freddie.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- Well, that's why I came.- Wait.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Half of this is yours.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Thanks.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29I guess my hunch was right. We were lucky together.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Yes. Together, nothing can stop us.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Well, when shall we start?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Oh...
0:35:36 > 0:35:40You're not still thinking of going on the trip?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- Why not? It won't be... - I can't go away with you!
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Why not?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Because I can't.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Well, what do you think people would say?
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Oh, yes. People. I forgot.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- You must see... - You mean that you won't come?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57I can't.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Ah. I'm sorry. Very sorry.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04You must take this and spend it on something sensible.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Oh, no. This is yours.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09I mean... You need it. You know you do.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Oh, no. I only needed it for one thing.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- What?- An experiment. An artistic experiment.
0:36:15 > 0:36:21That, as you say, people would confuse with an improper suggestion.
0:36:24 > 0:36:30Once before in my life, I did something that I hoped would turn out to be beautiful.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34But people came along and thought it was improper.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- You can't beat people.- No.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39But I didn't think that you were people.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- Oh, well, I'm not. - You mind what they think.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47It's not that, it's...
0:36:47 > 0:36:49It's...
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Oh... You said experiment. What did you mean?
0:36:52 > 0:36:58Of taking someone who is to settle down happily and prosaically in Poughkeepsie
0:36:58 > 0:37:04and giving them one shot in the arm of magic, on a quite impersonal plane, beforehand.
0:37:04 > 0:37:09And then seeing if it will last them for the rest of their life.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Um... What do you mean, impersonal?
0:37:11 > 0:37:13I mean...impersonal.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Purely impersonal.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Like a guide or a scientist making an experiment.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Ah... It's...
0:37:23 > 0:37:28- It's crazy.- Experiments are always crazy until they're proved.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30But as this one never will be now...
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Well, maybe I'm the one who's crazy now, but er...
0:37:45 > 0:37:48All right. You can make your experiment.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50I'll be the guinea pig.
0:37:50 > 0:37:55But...the strictly impersonal guinea pig.
0:38:02 > 0:38:07- It's nice being a guinea pig on a day like this. - Glad you like it. Like your car?
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- Mine?- I bought it in your name.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Oh...
0:38:11 > 0:38:16- Why?- I told you, I don't believe in possessions.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Well, thanks.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21I wish I could understand you.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25You're crazy or running away from something.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Maybe.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29What?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Perhaps the same things you're headed for.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Security and respectability. I had them once.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- What happened?- This is an adventure.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Let's forget my past and your future,
0:38:41 > 0:38:43and enjoy the poetic present.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Er...
0:38:45 > 0:38:50I don't wish to be too prosaic, but could we stop at a Western Union?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- What for?- I'd like to send a wire to Aunt Lucy.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56And I think I ought to wire Freddie.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Freddie.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00He'll be worried about you?
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Well... Yes, really.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06I... I know it's all right and everything is purely impersonal.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09- Mm-hm. - But Freddie might not understand.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Uh-huh.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16I'll just let him know where we are and that I'm having a good time.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20That'll show him that everything is all right.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- Won't it?- Sure.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Sure, we'll wire him.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26We'll wire him everywhere we stop.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29I don't think we need to go as far as all that.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Panicky?
0:39:48 > 0:39:51There aren't many people here, are there?
0:39:51 > 0:39:53This is only the lobby.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57The eyes of all the sisters in the world are watching you now.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Welcome to Niagara Falls. Welcome.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05And welcome to this splendid hotel. Famous for its immaculate service.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09Thank you. I hope you have a very happy time here.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13We hope that our stay will be a source of great rejoicing
0:40:13 > 0:40:16to yourself and excellent staff.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Oh, thank you.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Mr Grant.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24Oh, yes. We have your wire right here.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Mm, let me see.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Excuse me.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54I'm sorry, but all we have left is a double room on the third floor
0:40:54 > 0:40:56and one on the fifth floor.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- That's fine.- That will do very nicely.- Thank you.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02For the lady and 526 for the gentleman.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07- I hope you find everything satisfactory.- Thank you.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10How about a bite of supper?
0:41:10 > 0:41:12I'm not hungry.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Just a little champagne?
0:41:16 > 0:41:19I'm really not thirsty. I'm sleepy.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Three.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Five.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Mine's 526. What's your room?
0:41:35 > 0:41:37- Er...- The lady is in 355.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Thank you.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46- Good night.- Good night, sis.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Connect me with Mr David Grant, room 526, please.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38PHONE RINGS
0:42:40 > 0:42:41Hello?
0:42:41 > 0:42:45Hello. I'm sorry if I was abrupt or overly suspicious, but...
0:42:48 > 0:42:50He went out?!
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Er... No message, thank you.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20KNOCK AT DOOR
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Come in.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28Good evening, miss. I'm the night maid.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30Hello.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32May I come in?
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Er... Help yourself.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52- How did you make such a mistake? - I don't know.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55I must have lost a day somehow.
0:43:55 > 0:43:59Here's your party. You'd better square it.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02- Good evening, Mr Grant. - Where is the bar?- To the right.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05I made a mistake about those rooms.
0:44:05 > 0:44:09The adjoining rooms ARE available if you care to move now.
0:44:09 > 0:44:15Thank you, but I think Miss... my sister has already retired for the night.
0:44:15 > 0:44:17- Perhaps tomorrow. - Perhaps. Thank you.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20Uh-oh.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22- Well? - I'm very unhappy.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25- Didn't he accept your apology? - Yes and no.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28I'd feel better if I could get him to switch.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01Miss Grant.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03Miss Grant!
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Good evening, Miss Grant.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09The bar is around the corner.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14Way around.
0:45:29 > 0:45:33- I think you'll find the toast thin enough.- Very nice.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35Well!
0:45:35 > 0:45:37Won't you sit down?
0:45:37 > 0:45:39- Waiter, another glass.- Yes, sir.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42You didn't sleep for very long.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44No.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47My, what a lovely painting.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50Yes, I'll hate to give it up.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52Oh, isn't it yours?
0:45:52 > 0:45:55No, I've only rented it for a month.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59I want to thank you for the flowers.
0:45:59 > 0:46:02It was a pleasure.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05That's what I came down for.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08I mean, to thank you. Thank you.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10Thank you.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12Thank you.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28People just wouldn't believe this.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30What?
0:46:30 > 0:46:33Our being together like this.
0:46:33 > 0:46:34Why not?
0:46:34 > 0:46:37They'd think it wasn't like this.
0:46:37 > 0:46:42I mean, they'd look wise like my Aunt Lucy and say, a-ha!
0:46:42 > 0:46:44Mm-hm.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47I didn't visualise it like this.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50Did you think we'd never eat or drink?
0:46:50 > 0:46:52I mean...
0:46:52 > 0:46:54I didn't mean that.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57I mean, this is so...pleasant.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59Mm-hm.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19- Are you thinking about something? - Yes.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22- Is it a secret?- No.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24- Well, what is it?- Freddie.
0:47:24 > 0:47:28- Freddie?- Uh-huh.
0:47:28 > 0:47:30Why?
0:47:30 > 0:47:32We do owe it all to him, don't we?
0:47:32 > 0:47:34I suppose so.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37Of course we do. Practical man, Freddie.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43Oh, yes.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49Tell me, did you ever spend much time in Poughkeepsie?
0:47:49 > 0:47:53Oh, no. I've only been there twice.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55Oh. I see.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00- What happens after?- After what?
0:48:00 > 0:48:02- The trip.- Oh, I take you home.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05No, what's going to happen to you?
0:48:05 > 0:48:08Something will turn up. It always does.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10Well...
0:48:23 > 0:48:27Mr Grant, I took the liberty of changing you to the adjoining rooms.
0:48:30 > 0:48:36- That must have given you a lot of bother.- You've done me...the hotel a great favour.
0:48:36 > 0:48:40- So long as it's a favour. - The management will appreciate it.
0:48:40 > 0:48:44- The management can call upon us at any time.- By all means.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46- Thank you.- Not at all.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56Floors, please. Six for us.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58Same for us.
0:48:58 > 0:49:01- Did you just get here, honey?- Yes.
0:49:01 > 0:49:04- We've been here a week. - How are the Falls?
0:49:04 > 0:49:06We're seeing them tomorrow.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08Sixth floor.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14- Pleasant dreams.- Good night.
0:49:17 > 0:49:20If you feel lonely, he'll keep you company.
0:49:25 > 0:49:27Any questions? No? No?
0:49:27 > 0:49:29Thank you very much.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31Good night.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Oh!
0:49:43 > 0:49:44Oh...
0:49:46 > 0:49:48Oh..!
0:49:48 > 0:49:51Oh, no.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55- Oh, no?- No.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22KNOCK AT DOOR
0:50:22 > 0:50:24Come in!
0:50:24 > 0:50:26MAID SCREAMS
0:50:27 > 0:50:29KNOCK AT DOOR
0:50:31 > 0:50:33What's the screaming about?
0:50:33 > 0:50:36Er... Somebody just scared somebody.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39I'm afraid I sort of owe you an apology.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41Oh, really?
0:50:41 > 0:50:43I don't...
0:50:43 > 0:50:46You see... You see...
0:50:51 > 0:50:55- Well, here we are again. - What are you doing here?
0:51:15 > 0:51:17It's nice.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23It's very nice.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26One of you had better start lying.
0:51:26 > 0:51:30- After you, my dear Freddie. - What are you doing here?
0:51:30 > 0:51:33To find out what you mean by coming on a trip with him.
0:51:33 > 0:51:38- What do you mean, what do I mean? - Come home and marry me like we agreed!
0:51:38 > 0:51:41You agreed about me taking this trip.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44- I can testify to that.- Shut up!
0:51:44 > 0:51:47- If you think you can take my girl... - And what?
0:51:47 > 0:51:50That I don't know.
0:51:58 > 0:52:01Perhaps you'd like to talk it over alone.
0:52:01 > 0:52:03Let me know if you need me.
0:52:03 > 0:52:05Goodbye for now.
0:52:09 > 0:52:13I used to think he was just crazy. Now I don't trust him.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15That means you don't trust me!
0:52:15 > 0:52:18Why should I, now that I know he ain't crazy?
0:52:18 > 0:52:22- You'd better go back.- All right. If that's the way you feel.
0:52:22 > 0:52:26Don't be surprised if I'm not waiting for you.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29- All right. - I'll go but it may be for good.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31Maybe.
0:52:50 > 0:52:52KNOCK AT DOOR
0:52:58 > 0:53:02I feel I ought to apologise for Freddie's behaviour.
0:53:02 > 0:53:06Looking at it from his angle, I might have felt the same way.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09You wouldn't. Anyway, he's on his way back.
0:53:09 > 0:53:13Poor chap. I don't envy him travelling all night.
0:53:13 > 0:53:17- It will teach him not to be so suspicious. Good night.- Good night.
0:53:17 > 0:53:23- What a lovely fireplace. I love fireplaces in bedrooms. - Haven't you one?
0:53:23 > 0:53:26- Change rooms. - No, I didn't mean that. Good night.
0:53:41 > 0:53:43SHE TURNS KEY
0:53:43 > 0:53:46Anything else? Have me called at two o'clock.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48PM? AM. Tonight.
0:53:48 > 0:53:52Yes, sir. Don't forget. Turn out those lights.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58CLOCK STRIKES TWELVE
0:55:29 > 0:55:33Operator, connect me with Mr David Grant in 609, please.
0:55:33 > 0:55:35PHONE RINGS
0:55:43 > 0:55:46- Hello, Jean.- Oh...hello.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48I...
0:55:48 > 0:55:54I was just noticing the moonlight was shining on that painting.
0:55:54 > 0:55:57And it's really very beautiful.
0:55:57 > 0:56:00I'm glad you like it. It's comforting.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02Mm.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04Well, er...
0:56:04 > 0:56:06That's all.
0:56:06 > 0:56:10- Good night.- Good night.
0:56:12 > 0:56:15- Good night.- Good night, Jean.
0:56:18 > 0:56:20- Good night.- Good night.
0:56:33 > 0:56:35Operator, will you give me 611?
0:56:36 > 0:56:39PHONE RINGS
0:56:44 > 0:56:46Hello, David.
0:56:46 > 0:56:48- Did I wake you up?- No.
0:56:48 > 0:56:50- Can you hear the music?- Yes.
0:56:50 > 0:56:52- Lovely, isn't it?- Yes.
0:56:52 > 0:56:54- Soft.- And dreamy.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57- Like a lullaby.- Yes, it's lovely.
0:56:57 > 0:57:00- Is the moon shining in through your window?- Yes.
0:57:00 > 0:57:05I can just see you, a shaft of pale blue light falling across your bed.
0:57:05 > 0:57:10- And your face like a soft shadow on your pillow. - Can you really see me?
0:57:10 > 0:57:13Of course. Let me hear you put on the light.
0:57:13 > 0:57:16All right.
0:57:16 > 0:57:21Now you're lying in a horrible glare and it hurts your eyes. Quick, put it out.
0:57:21 > 0:57:24That's better. That's more restful.
0:57:24 > 0:57:26Oh, much.
0:57:26 > 0:57:28Well...
0:57:28 > 0:57:31Pleasant dreams, Jean.
0:57:31 > 0:57:34Pink-eyed rabbits and curly-haired lambs.
0:57:34 > 0:57:37In ribbons and bells.
0:57:37 > 0:57:40In sunny meadows.
0:57:40 > 0:57:43Are you asleep yet?
0:57:43 > 0:57:45Oh, no! Not yet.
0:57:45 > 0:57:48- Jean...- Yes?
0:57:48 > 0:57:53How would you like to put on that dress and have a few dances with me?
0:57:53 > 0:57:55- I'd love it!- Put on your light!
0:57:55 > 0:57:58- It's on.- I'll meet you in the lobby.
0:58:03 > 0:58:05JEAN LAUGHS
0:58:16 > 0:58:18- You dazzle me.- I dazzle myself!
0:58:18 > 0:58:24I feel like making a grand entrance to a fanfare of trumpets and a wild burst of applause.
0:58:24 > 0:58:26Perhaps I can arrange it.
0:58:26 > 0:58:29I hope your rooms are satisfactory.
0:58:29 > 0:58:35- Perfect. My sister should have the fireplace. Will you switch? - It would make me happy.
0:58:35 > 0:58:38- That's a lot of trouble. - Oh, make them happy.
0:58:42 > 0:58:44MUSIC PLAYS
0:58:56 > 0:58:58- Having a good time?- Mm.
0:58:58 > 0:59:03It's nice. Nobody knows who we are or what we're doing here.
0:59:03 > 0:59:05Kinda like playing hookey.
0:59:05 > 0:59:08That was the whole idea of the experiment.
0:59:08 > 0:59:10Well, it was a good idea.
0:59:23 > 0:59:25MUSIC ENDS TO APPLAUSE
0:59:34 > 0:59:36Very nice, thank you.
0:59:44 > 0:59:46I hope we're not intruding.
0:59:46 > 0:59:48And I hope we don't sound foolish.
0:59:48 > 0:59:53- But there's something we'd like to know.- Just a question.
0:59:53 > 0:59:55We'd be very happy to answer it.
0:59:55 > 0:59:59- Are you superstitious? - Do you believe in luck?
0:59:59 > 1:00:03Oh, yes, we do that, don't we, David?
1:00:03 > 1:00:06Yes, yes, we've been very lucky. Up to now.
1:00:06 > 1:00:11- Do you think they might be? - They might be just the very two.
1:00:11 > 1:00:13- I wonder.- I think so.
1:00:13 > 1:00:15Oh.
1:00:15 > 1:00:19- Would you come out with us? - Out? Where?
1:00:19 > 1:00:21Just out.
1:00:21 > 1:00:24- Just to the garden. - It isn't a garden.
1:00:24 > 1:00:28There's something we'd like to show you.
1:00:28 > 1:00:31- Perhaps share with you.- Perhaps.
1:00:32 > 1:00:34All right.
1:00:40 > 1:00:42Well, where are we going?
1:00:42 > 1:00:45- On a trip.- A long trip?
1:00:45 > 1:00:49It took us 50 years to get back to the beginning.
1:00:52 > 1:00:55Just a moment, Mr... I didn't quite catch the name.
1:00:55 > 1:00:57Albert W Sylvester.
1:00:57 > 1:01:00Perhaps he means your other self.
1:01:00 > 1:01:02Do you?
1:01:02 > 1:01:04Er... Do I?
1:01:04 > 1:01:06Why, I think so.
1:01:06 > 1:01:08I am...
1:01:08 > 1:01:10I am Peter Possum.
1:01:10 > 1:01:12Peter Possum?!
1:01:12 > 1:01:17Well... If you're Peter Possum, then she must be Jenny Wren.
1:01:17 > 1:01:19She's always been Jenny Wren.
1:01:19 > 1:01:22Er... Look, are you all right?
1:01:22 > 1:01:24Yes, why?
1:01:24 > 1:01:26Who is Peter Possum?
1:01:26 > 1:01:28They write stories and fairy tales.
1:01:28 > 1:01:31I used to read them as a child.
1:01:31 > 1:01:32Over this way!
1:01:32 > 1:01:34- Let's make a dash for it.- No.
1:01:34 > 1:01:37We mustn't hurt their feelings. Come on.
1:01:37 > 1:01:39This is the threshold.
1:01:39 > 1:01:45- The threshold to what?- To whatever you want. Isn't that right? - Of course, my dear.
1:01:45 > 1:01:49But you must pick her up and carry her across.
1:01:51 > 1:01:53Well...
1:01:58 > 1:02:01- Aren't you coming? - We crossed it a long time ago.
1:02:58 > 1:03:00Now the wishing well.
1:03:08 > 1:03:1350 years ago tonight, we stood here and wished our marriage might last forever.
1:03:13 > 1:03:16We threw in little white pebbles.
1:03:18 > 1:03:20Just like these,
1:03:20 > 1:03:22to make sure.
1:03:22 > 1:03:26You looked so happy and shining when we first saw you.
1:03:26 > 1:03:28We had to tell you.
1:03:28 > 1:03:32We hope our little fancy will do the same for you.
1:03:39 > 1:03:41Come, Alice.
1:04:07 > 1:04:10I guess we'd better go back.
1:04:10 > 1:04:12Jean...
1:04:12 > 1:04:16I'm afraid the experiment's got a little out of hand.
1:04:16 > 1:04:18- Yes.- I apologise.
1:04:18 > 1:04:20- What for?- For letting it.
1:04:20 > 1:04:24I promised it should be... strictly impersonal.
1:04:24 > 1:04:29Jean, either we must go back to being as we were and forget this happened,
1:04:29 > 1:04:32or else we can't go on with the trip.
1:04:34 > 1:04:36Why not, David?
1:04:36 > 1:04:40Because...that's how it was going to be, remember?
1:04:42 > 1:04:44David, do you want to go on with it?
1:04:44 > 1:04:46Very much.
1:04:48 > 1:04:50OK, then.
1:04:50 > 1:04:52Well...
1:04:52 > 1:04:54Shall we go back and dance?
1:04:54 > 1:04:57The champagne should be very cold by now.
1:04:57 > 1:05:01No. If you don't mind, I'll go to bed and be fresh for the trip.
1:05:01 > 1:05:03All right.
1:05:14 > 1:05:16- Good night.- 'Night.
1:05:16 > 1:05:20We can shake hands, can't we? Quite impersonally.
1:05:20 > 1:05:24- Good night.- Good night. Oh... This is your room now.
1:05:30 > 1:05:32What time do we leave?
1:05:32 > 1:05:34Would nine be too early?
1:05:34 > 1:05:36Nine would be swell. Good night.
1:05:36 > 1:05:38Good night. Sweet dreams.
1:05:49 > 1:05:51CLOCK STRIKES TWO
1:06:25 > 1:06:27KEY TURNS IN LOCK
1:06:43 > 1:06:45Freddie!
1:06:46 > 1:06:48What are you doing here?
1:06:48 > 1:06:51I dropped in to see what was going on.
1:06:51 > 1:06:54I think I picked a pretty good moment.
1:06:54 > 1:06:56Let me ask you the same question.
1:06:56 > 1:06:58What are YOU doing here?
1:06:58 > 1:07:00This is my room now.
1:07:00 > 1:07:02Oh. Sure(!)
1:07:02 > 1:07:04We changed rooms!
1:07:04 > 1:07:06Oh?
1:07:06 > 1:07:08Was the other one haunted?
1:07:08 > 1:07:13Freddie, I don't like you following me. Spying on me is disgusting!
1:07:13 > 1:07:16You can't put me in the wrong.
1:07:16 > 1:07:19What are you going to do?
1:07:19 > 1:07:21You'll hear it in a minute. Stay here.
1:07:35 > 1:07:37David, I...
1:07:50 > 1:07:52Skipped, eh?
1:07:54 > 1:07:56No, he's...
1:07:56 > 1:08:00just gone for a walk, maybe.
1:08:00 > 1:08:03Probably took his baggage along for exercise.
1:08:07 > 1:08:09Hello, give me the desk.
1:08:09 > 1:08:13Wouldn't be surprised if he stuck you with the bill.
1:08:13 > 1:08:15What's happened to Mr Grant?
1:08:15 > 1:08:17Mr David Grant.
1:08:17 > 1:08:19Uh-huh.
1:08:19 > 1:08:22He's checked out. Did he pay his bill?
1:08:22 > 1:08:24Oh, he did, huh?
1:08:24 > 1:08:26Give me that. When did he leave?
1:08:26 > 1:08:30Oh, this is Miss Jean Newton... Er... Miss Grant.
1:08:30 > 1:08:32Oh, he did?
1:08:32 > 1:08:35Will you send it up right away, please? Thank you.
1:08:35 > 1:08:37Send up what?
1:08:37 > 1:08:40- He left me a note. - That's very nice of him.
1:08:40 > 1:08:44Always a gentleman, even when he's ditching you.
1:08:44 > 1:08:48I don't ever want to talk to you ever again!
1:08:52 > 1:08:55Give me a quarter for the boy.
1:08:59 > 1:09:01OK, Grant. Is this your car?
1:09:01 > 1:09:03Er... Well, not exactly.
1:09:03 > 1:09:07- Well, whose exactly is it? - It belongs to a Miss Newton.
1:09:07 > 1:09:10- Does she know you've got it? - In a sense, no...
1:09:10 > 1:09:13That's the sense I'm interested in.
1:09:13 > 1:09:18- You see...- Sure, you can explain what you meant to the sergeant.
1:09:18 > 1:09:20Now drive.
1:09:28 > 1:09:30I hope he's well.
1:09:30 > 1:09:35- Would you drive me to New York tonight?- Got a date with him there?
1:09:35 > 1:09:37- No.- Well, what's he say?
1:09:37 > 1:09:39That's my business.
1:09:39 > 1:09:42Has he walked out on you or hasn't he?
1:09:42 > 1:09:44Since you're so curious,
1:09:44 > 1:09:46yes, he has walked out on me.
1:09:46 > 1:09:49And he's never going to see me again.
1:09:49 > 1:09:52When we get back, I'm never going to see you again.
1:09:52 > 1:09:58But it would be a convenience if you would drive me. I'm going to pack.
1:09:58 > 1:10:01Where is this Miss Newton you say the car belongs to?
1:10:01 > 1:10:04She's at the Aragon Hotel, Niagara Falls.
1:10:04 > 1:10:09- Hm.- She must be asleep now. I'd rather you didn't wake her.
1:10:09 > 1:10:11I won't wake her.
1:10:11 > 1:10:14Oh, I forgot. She isn't registered as Miss Newton.
1:10:14 > 1:10:17Oh? What is she registered as?
1:10:17 > 1:10:21As a matter of fact, she's registered as Miss Grant, my sister.
1:10:21 > 1:10:24- Why?- That's rather a long story.
1:10:24 > 1:10:27OK, you can tell it to the judge in the morning.
1:10:27 > 1:10:30- Yes, but... - We're booking you, mister.
1:10:30 > 1:10:35- What for? - Suspicion of stealing an automobile. And anything else we find out.
1:10:35 > 1:10:39- The blue room, Bob. - Oh, dear, dear! Here I go again!
1:10:45 > 1:10:47Get me the Niagara Falls station.
1:10:53 > 1:10:55This is to go, too.
1:11:03 > 1:11:05Good evening.
1:11:05 > 1:11:07Leaving?
1:11:07 > 1:11:10Who are you?
1:11:10 > 1:11:13I had an idea you'd ask me that.
1:11:13 > 1:11:16So I brought along the answer.
1:11:16 > 1:11:19Who are you?
1:11:19 > 1:11:21My name is Harper. I'm engaged
1:11:21 > 1:11:25to this lady and we're on our way back to New York.
1:11:25 > 1:11:28- Yeah? Why? - She had a misunderstanding with...
1:11:28 > 1:11:30With who?
1:11:30 > 1:11:34Er... Well... With the man she was travelling with.
1:11:34 > 1:11:36Who's that?
1:11:36 > 1:11:39That was a Mr Grant. You see...
1:11:39 > 1:11:42Wait a minute, pal. Now we're getting somewhere.
1:11:42 > 1:11:44Er... Yeah.
1:11:44 > 1:11:46- Are you Miss Newton?- Yes.
1:11:46 > 1:11:50You wouldn't be Miss Grant? No... That is, I...
1:11:50 > 1:11:55On Thursdays, maybe. Miss Newton Grant, do you own an automobile?
1:11:55 > 1:11:57No. Er... That is, yes.
1:11:57 > 1:11:59I think it is in my name.
1:11:59 > 1:12:01He said it was.
1:12:01 > 1:12:04The guy you've had a misunderstanding with?
1:12:04 > 1:12:07Were you and he working a racket? Now just...
1:12:07 > 1:12:09Is this yours?
1:12:09 > 1:12:12No, no. That belongs to Mr Grant.
1:12:12 > 1:12:14It doesn't exactly belong to him.
1:12:14 > 1:12:16Why?
1:12:16 > 1:12:18He...sort of rented it.
1:12:18 > 1:12:21And now it's part of your baggage, eh?
1:12:21 > 1:12:23Well...
1:12:27 > 1:12:29Who busted this door?
1:12:29 > 1:12:31The door?
1:12:34 > 1:12:36I did that. I...
1:12:36 > 1:12:40- A gang war, huh? - You're crazy! I just...
1:12:40 > 1:12:42OK, pal. Save it for the judge.
1:12:44 > 1:12:48- What's this? - Automobile theft. Something to do with a painting and a busted door.
1:12:48 > 1:12:50Now, then. How do you plead?
1:12:50 > 1:12:52ALL: Not guilty.
1:12:52 > 1:12:54Swear them.
1:12:54 > 1:13:00Put your hands up. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing
1:13:00 > 1:13:03- but the truth, so help you, God? - Not guilty!
1:13:04 > 1:13:05I do.
1:13:05 > 1:13:10Well, let's see who you all are. What's your name?
1:13:10 > 1:13:13Frederick Victor Harper, Your Honour. I'm in insurance.
1:13:13 > 1:13:16All right! You know the other defendant?
1:13:16 > 1:13:20- This young lady is my fiancee. - I am not.
1:13:20 > 1:13:23There seems to be a little bit of confusion.
1:13:23 > 1:13:28One at a time. You say that you're engaged to her?
1:13:28 > 1:13:29Yes, Your Honour.
1:13:29 > 1:13:31- You say?- No, Your Honour.
1:13:31 > 1:13:34Well, now. One of you is committing perjury.
1:13:34 > 1:13:37Remember you're under oath.
1:13:37 > 1:13:42We'll see. That's what we're here for. What's your name?
1:13:42 > 1:13:46- Jean Newton. - Jean Newton, alias Jean Grant.
1:13:46 > 1:13:50No, Your Honour. Er... That is... Yes, Your Honour.
1:13:50 > 1:13:55The owner of the stolen automobile? Allegedly stolen.
1:13:55 > 1:13:58No, Your Honour. Er... Yes, Your Honour.
1:13:58 > 1:14:00You'd better make up your mind.
1:14:04 > 1:14:07We'll see. That's what we're here for.
1:14:09 > 1:14:11You're Mr David Grant.
1:14:11 > 1:14:13Well, no, Your Honour.
1:14:13 > 1:14:15It says here you are.
1:14:15 > 1:14:18- I know, but we're under oath? - Of course!
1:14:18 > 1:14:22Then I'm not David Grant, Your Honour. My name is Somerset.
1:14:24 > 1:14:27- Paul Knight Somerset. - Paul Knight Somerset...
1:14:27 > 1:14:30Paul Knight Somerset!
1:14:30 > 1:14:32- What's going on? - Paul Knight Somerset!
1:14:32 > 1:14:35THEY ALL SHOUT AT ONCE
1:14:43 > 1:14:48As owner of this paper, this could put our town on the map forever!
1:14:48 > 1:14:53As mayor of this town, we've got something we can't afford to neglect.
1:14:53 > 1:14:59On behalf of the chamber of commerce, you must have a trial for the electors!
1:14:59 > 1:15:03As president of the woman's club, these electors include women!
1:15:03 > 1:15:10The elections are next month. The taxpayers will be sore if this isn't milked to the full!
1:15:10 > 1:15:14The court room was full. The hotels are overflowing.
1:15:14 > 1:15:17You can't let this thing peter out overnight!
1:15:17 > 1:15:22- Can they make anything of this? - I'll get it dismissed in minutes.
1:15:24 > 1:15:26Excuse me.
1:15:26 > 1:15:30- Hello, Jean... - How are you, David? I mean Paul.
1:15:30 > 1:15:34I tried to give her your messages but she wouldn't listen.
1:15:34 > 1:15:38Women, David! I mean Paul. You just can't figure them.
1:15:38 > 1:15:41I'd like my attorney to represent her.
1:15:41 > 1:15:47She says she hasn't done anything she can't explain herself. She'll be her own counsel.
1:15:47 > 1:15:50We must go in now. They can't begin without us!
1:15:53 > 1:15:55She's going to be her own counsel.
1:15:55 > 1:15:59Wendell, I don't need you. I'll be my own counsel too.
1:15:59 > 1:16:01I'll be nervous if you watch me.
1:16:01 > 1:16:03MURMURING
1:16:08 > 1:16:12Say, he sure is something. Do you recognise all these folks?
1:16:12 > 1:16:17Cafe society. I wish I had their insurance policies!
1:16:17 > 1:16:19THEY GREET EACH OTHER
1:16:21 > 1:16:24I understand him walking out on you now.
1:16:24 > 1:16:28A guy like that, a celebrity, you can't expect...
1:16:35 > 1:16:41- I wish I could make you understand...- It was fun for you to make an experiment
1:16:41 > 1:16:43and then walk out when you got bored.
1:16:43 > 1:16:46I congratulate you on its success.
1:16:46 > 1:16:49- Well, I... - < Everybody, please stand.
1:16:51 > 1:16:54< Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye!
1:16:54 > 1:16:57The Supreme Court is now in session.
1:16:58 > 1:17:00Be seated.
1:17:05 > 1:17:07Are the defendants in court?
1:17:07 > 1:17:10- Yes, Your Honour.- Yes, Your Honour.
1:17:10 > 1:17:12Yes, Your Honour.
1:17:12 > 1:17:14You may be seated.
1:17:14 > 1:17:17Now, where did we leave off?
1:17:17 > 1:17:22I think we'd better start at the formal evidence of the arrest.
1:17:22 > 1:17:25Will Officer Clarke please take the stand?
1:17:29 > 1:17:34Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? >
1:17:34 > 1:17:36I do.
1:17:36 > 1:17:39Officer Clarke, when you made the arrest...
1:17:39 > 1:17:44The picture Mr Somerset rented from you was painted by him?
1:17:44 > 1:17:47- Yes, Your Honour. - Why would he rent it?
1:17:47 > 1:17:49I imagine he wanted to look at it.
1:17:49 > 1:17:52Crazy! Why couldn't he have painted another?
1:17:54 > 1:17:56Next witness.
1:17:56 > 1:17:59By what name did you know the defendant?
1:17:59 > 1:18:01They was different.
1:18:01 > 1:18:03First it was Pigeon.
1:18:03 > 1:18:05Then it was Good Luck.
1:18:05 > 1:18:08Then it was You Asked For It.
1:18:08 > 1:18:10It looks to me as if he got it.
1:18:12 > 1:18:15When did you first meet Somerset?
1:18:15 > 1:18:18That was the day he gave her a 350 gown.
1:18:18 > 1:18:20- < It had silver beads... - < All right.
1:18:20 > 1:18:26- How did your niece explain such an expensive present?- She denied it.
1:18:28 > 1:18:30This trip they went on.
1:18:30 > 1:18:35Where would a man living as he did get the money to pay for it?
1:18:35 > 1:18:37My niece gave it to him.
1:18:42 > 1:18:47"Please reserve two rooms, not necessarily adjoining. David Grant."
1:18:49 > 1:18:55In your experience as a hotel clerk, what do you understand those words to mean?
1:18:55 > 1:18:57Judge, that they must adjoin!
1:18:57 > 1:18:59Ahem. Yeah.
1:19:01 > 1:19:05I opened the door and there she was, waiting to pounce on me!
1:19:05 > 1:19:08Then I went to 611. There she was again!
1:19:08 > 1:19:10Waiting to pounce on me!
1:19:10 > 1:19:12It got me so nervous,
1:19:12 > 1:19:19I've been scared to open the door ever since for fear I'd find her waiting to pounce on me!
1:19:20 > 1:19:23Now that we've heard the witnesses,
1:19:23 > 1:19:27we're in even deeper confusion than we were before.
1:19:27 > 1:19:29THEY LAUGH
1:19:29 > 1:19:31< Order! Order!
1:19:31 > 1:19:35Will the defendant Frederick Harper please take the stand?
1:19:35 > 1:19:38He says he and the girl were engaged.
1:19:43 > 1:19:47Mr Harper, are you or are you not engaged to Miss Newton?
1:19:47 > 1:19:51I was engaged to her and I have every confidence I shall be again.
1:19:54 > 1:19:58You were engaged to her when she went on that trip with this man?
1:19:58 > 1:20:01Yes. Did she go with your approval?
1:20:01 > 1:20:05Not then, but I realise now I was unnecessarily suspicious.
1:20:05 > 1:20:07What made you realise that?
1:20:07 > 1:20:11I found out who Mr Grant really was. A celebrity...
1:20:11 > 1:20:16Celebrities are no more to be trusted with women than anyone else.
1:20:16 > 1:20:18LAUGHTER
1:20:21 > 1:20:23Order! Order!
1:20:26 > 1:20:28Miss Jean Newton, please.
1:20:32 > 1:20:34Courage, dear. Courage!
1:20:34 > 1:20:38Tell everything. Don't be ashamed, whatever it was.
1:20:41 > 1:20:45- She's been sworn in, Your Honour. - I know that. Sit down.
1:20:49 > 1:20:55Miss Newton, don't be scared. Tell the truth. We are here to protect you.
1:20:55 > 1:20:58- Thank you, Your Honour. - Don't mention it.
1:20:58 > 1:21:01Miss Newton, would you give us your version
1:21:01 > 1:21:05of how you came to go on this somewhat unusual trip?
1:21:05 > 1:21:10I was talked into it. First by Mr Harper and then by Mr Somerset.
1:21:10 > 1:21:13< I thought Mr Harper was against it?
1:21:13 > 1:21:16He was, but Mr Somerset talked him into it too.
1:21:16 > 1:21:19< He must have unusual powers of persuasion.
1:21:19 > 1:21:21Oh, yes.
1:21:21 > 1:21:25- How did he represent the trip? - As an experiment.
1:21:25 > 1:21:27Experiment? And you agreed to it?
1:21:27 > 1:21:30It wasn't that kind of an experiment.
1:21:30 > 1:21:32I was to be a guinea pig.
1:21:32 > 1:21:35LAUGHTER
1:21:38 > 1:21:40Order! Order in the court!
1:21:40 > 1:21:43A what?
1:21:43 > 1:21:46Look, Your Honour, do we have to go into all that?
1:21:46 > 1:21:48I'm afraid so, Miss Newton.
1:21:48 > 1:21:52I know it's going to sound crazy, Your Honour.
1:21:52 > 1:21:55It was crazy and I was crazy to fall for it.
1:21:55 > 1:21:57Well...
1:21:57 > 1:22:00It was to be just a friendly little trip.
1:22:00 > 1:22:02As brother and sister.
1:22:02 > 1:22:04He was going to show me things.
1:22:04 > 1:22:08He wanted to make the experiment of taking someone and...
1:22:08 > 1:22:11Oh, I can't make it sound like he did.
1:22:11 > 1:22:13It sounds even crazier if I try.
1:22:13 > 1:22:16That was the idea. A sort of a...
1:22:16 > 1:22:18A...
1:22:18 > 1:22:20You know what I mean...
1:22:23 > 1:22:26Yes, yes. You trusted him.
1:22:26 > 1:22:29Yes, Your Honour.
1:22:29 > 1:22:31Yes. Was your trust justified?
1:22:31 > 1:22:33I don't know, Your Honour.
1:22:33 > 1:22:36You don't know? But you must know.
1:22:36 > 1:22:41Did he keep his word about it being brother and sister?
1:22:41 > 1:22:43Mm. Er...
1:22:43 > 1:22:45Not entirely, Your Honour.
1:22:45 > 1:22:49- He overstepped the mark? - In a way, Your Honour.
1:22:49 > 1:22:51LAUGHTER
1:22:53 > 1:22:55Order!
1:22:55 > 1:22:58Did he kiss you?
1:22:58 > 1:23:01Do I have to answer that question, Your Honour?
1:23:01 > 1:23:06- I'm afraid so. Don't be scared. We're here to protect you.- Thank you.
1:23:06 > 1:23:10- Don't mention it. Well, then? - Well, then...
1:23:10 > 1:23:12yes.
1:23:12 > 1:23:19He kissed you and then he drove off in your automobile without a word? Is that right?
1:23:19 > 1:23:22- Oh, well, it wasn't... - Answer yes or no, please.
1:23:22 > 1:23:25- Yes, Your Honour. - Thank you, Miss Newton.
1:23:25 > 1:23:28- That's all.- Thank you, Your Honour.
1:23:28 > 1:23:32- Don't mention it. - Your Honour.- Yes?
1:23:32 > 1:23:35As my own counsel, may I cross-examine?
1:23:35 > 1:23:38Sit down again, Miss Newton. Proceed.
1:23:43 > 1:23:47Thank you, Your Honour. Ahem!
1:23:48 > 1:23:54Miss Newton, is it a fact that since he left you, my client has made attempts to see you?
1:23:54 > 1:23:57- Who's your client?- That's myself.
1:23:57 > 1:24:00And that you refused to let me explain my behaviour?
1:24:00 > 1:24:06Your Honour, will you be so kind as to instruct the witness to answer my questions?
1:24:06 > 1:24:09What? Oh, yes, you have to do that.
1:24:09 > 1:24:12Don't be scared. We're here to protect you.
1:24:12 > 1:24:16- Thank you, Your Honour. - Don't mention it.- You've refused to listen to me?
1:24:16 > 1:24:20- Yes!- You'd better listen to me now. - Your Honour!
1:24:20 > 1:24:23- What's that? - It's nothing! Nothing at all.
1:24:23 > 1:24:25Did my client leave you a letter?
1:24:25 > 1:24:28Before he left you at Niagara Falls?
1:24:28 > 1:24:32You know perfectly well you did. He did. You did!
1:24:32 > 1:24:34Have you the letter with you?
1:24:34 > 1:24:38- I destroyed it.- Do you remember what was in it?- I object!
1:24:38 > 1:24:40- Objection sustained.- Your Honour?
1:24:40 > 1:24:45There has been no foundation laid for the introduction of a lost letter.
1:24:45 > 1:24:49- Thank you, Your Honour. - Don't mention it.
1:24:49 > 1:24:54In that letter, did my client tell you that it was in your own interests
1:24:54 > 1:24:56that he was walking out of your life?
1:24:56 > 1:25:00I... I don't know. Yes. I object!
1:25:00 > 1:25:03Mention that letter and it's contempt of court!
1:25:05 > 1:25:10Do you believe that my client was sincere in his feelings for you?
1:25:10 > 1:25:13Your Honour! You said you were here to protect me.
1:25:13 > 1:25:18He's trying to make me talk now because I wouldn't talk outside.
1:25:18 > 1:25:23Mr Somerset, you will confine yourself to the facts of the case
1:25:23 > 1:25:26and not discuss your personal feelings.
1:25:26 > 1:25:28But I can't explain...
1:25:28 > 1:25:31If Miss Newton is interested in your reasons,
1:25:31 > 1:25:34she can ask you when you are on the stand.
1:25:34 > 1:25:37In that case, I have no further questions.
1:25:37 > 1:25:40Thank you, Miss Newton.
1:25:40 > 1:25:44- Thank you, Your Honour. - The pleasure's entirely mine!
1:25:56 > 1:25:58Mm?
1:25:58 > 1:26:00Oh. And now Mr Somerset.
1:26:00 > 1:26:03I have a lot of questions to ask this Casanova.
1:26:08 > 1:26:13Now, Mr Somerset, you are the painter Paul Knight Somerset?
1:26:13 > 1:26:17- I was.- And what are you now? What do you do for a living?
1:26:17 > 1:26:22- Not much, Your Honour.- Would a loafer be the right description?
1:26:22 > 1:26:24MURMURING
1:26:24 > 1:26:29- A little harsh, but depends upon your point of view.- Exactly.
1:26:29 > 1:26:32Mr Somerset, did you accept 3,000 from Miss Newton?
1:26:32 > 1:26:37- Yes, Your Honour.- You persuaded her to go on a trip with you?
1:26:37 > 1:26:41- Yes, Your Honour.- And on that trip, you made love to her?
1:26:41 > 1:26:44- Once.- I don't care how often. Answer me.
1:26:44 > 1:26:48- Yes, Your Honour.- And then you made off in her automobile?
1:26:48 > 1:26:51- Yes, Your Honour. - You admit it was her automobile?
1:26:51 > 1:26:55- Yes, Your Honour. - Bought with her money?
1:26:55 > 1:26:58It didn't take long to get that cleared up.
1:26:58 > 1:27:01Miss Newton, do you wish to ask questions?
1:27:01 > 1:27:07It was his money and he bought the car so he did have a right to take it back.
1:27:07 > 1:27:11That is for the court to decide. Do you wish to question?
1:27:11 > 1:27:13No, Your Honour.
1:27:13 > 1:27:16That's all, Mr Somerset. Thank you.
1:27:16 > 1:27:21Being my own counsel, am I entitled to ask myself a few questions?
1:27:21 > 1:27:23Certainly. Proceed.
1:27:23 > 1:27:28When you asked Miss Newton to go on this trip, were you in love with her?
1:27:28 > 1:27:31I didn't think so then but now I know that I was.
1:27:31 > 1:27:33I object!
1:27:33 > 1:27:36- Mr Somerset! - When did you fall in love with her?
1:27:36 > 1:27:42- I object!- When she called a sweepstake ticket a stoopsnake swicket.- Mr Somerset!
1:27:42 > 1:27:47- I shall commit you for contempt of court!- I've said all I want to say.
1:27:47 > 1:27:53Oh, one more. Did you think a man with your record had a right to make love to her?
1:27:53 > 1:27:57I do not. That's why I ran off. I'm extremely sorry.
1:28:02 > 1:28:06Your Honour, I would like to ask a few questions.
1:28:06 > 1:28:10- Very well. Proceed. - Thank you, Your Honour.
1:28:13 > 1:28:19Mr Somerset, was it because you served a sentence in prison you walked out on me?
1:28:19 > 1:28:21- I mean my client? - It was partly that.
1:28:21 > 1:28:25- And what else was it? - It was...my whole mode of life.
1:28:25 > 1:28:32- What's the matter with it? - Nothing from my point of view but a great deal from everyone else's.
1:28:32 > 1:28:35It has been described as beachcombing.
1:28:35 > 1:28:39- You were considered one of the best painters living.- Yes.
1:28:39 > 1:28:43- For three years, you haven't painted. Is that right?- I object.
1:28:43 > 1:28:46- Objection...- Overruled.- Yes.
1:28:46 > 1:28:48As a matter of fact, I have.
1:28:48 > 1:28:50- Only no-one has seen them.- Why not?
1:28:50 > 1:28:52I didn't wish them to.
1:28:52 > 1:29:00- Three years ago, you were sent to prison for illustrations you did for a book of legends.- Your Honour!
1:29:00 > 1:29:01Continue.
1:29:01 > 1:29:07- These illustrations were considered...- Indecent was the word the judge used.
1:29:07 > 1:29:11- You did not consider them... - Indecent? No, young lady.
1:29:11 > 1:29:15Since then, this volume has practically become a classic.
1:29:15 > 1:29:19- It's even recommended in universities.- So they tell me.
1:29:19 > 1:29:25It was bitterness at the injustice that made you stop showing your paintings?
1:29:25 > 1:29:29And that keeps you loafing and making caricatures now.
1:29:29 > 1:29:31- Yes or no, Mr Somerset?- Yes!
1:29:31 > 1:29:35And you are in no way ashamed of yourself and your attitude?
1:29:35 > 1:29:39If you're interested, I am thoroughly ashamed of you.
1:29:39 > 1:29:44- That's all. Thank you, Your Honour. - Thank you, Miss Newton.
1:29:49 > 1:29:51Mr Somerset, you may step down.
1:29:51 > 1:29:54LAUGHTER
1:29:58 > 1:30:01Now then, we'll sum up the case.
1:30:01 > 1:30:05We have three defendants charged with various offences.
1:30:05 > 1:30:08I'll take Mr Harper first.
1:30:10 > 1:30:17Mr Harper seems to me can best be described as what in modern slang is called a dope.
1:30:17 > 1:30:22A man who would make a deal involving his fiance going on a trip with another man,
1:30:22 > 1:30:25even at a ten million to one chance,
1:30:25 > 1:30:29deserves that that one chance should turn up against him.
1:30:29 > 1:30:33If Mr Harper wants to change his plea to guilty,
1:30:33 > 1:30:39I impose a fine of 25 for damaging hotel property, plus the cost of repairing the door.
1:30:39 > 1:30:41Otherwise, he can stand trial.
1:30:41 > 1:30:44You can sit down now and think.
1:30:44 > 1:30:46LAUGHTER
1:30:51 > 1:30:54Next we come to...
1:30:54 > 1:30:56Miss Newton.
1:30:57 > 1:31:02Miss Newton seems to me to be a very much wronged young lady.
1:31:02 > 1:31:06A little trusting, perhaps, but otherwise in no way to blame.
1:31:06 > 1:31:09There is obviously no case against her.
1:31:09 > 1:31:12You may sit down, Miss Newton.
1:31:12 > 1:31:15- Thank you, Your Honour. - You're welcome.
1:31:15 > 1:31:18Last but not least, we have...
1:31:18 > 1:31:21Mr Paul Knight Somerset.
1:31:25 > 1:31:30Mr Somerset has acted throughout with an entire lack of principle.
1:31:30 > 1:31:33His record is a retractive one,
1:31:33 > 1:31:39as Miss Newton elicited in her very able questioning. As she pointed out,
1:31:39 > 1:31:44his whole behaviour has been sulky, like a spoiled child.
1:31:44 > 1:31:48- Your Honour, I protest! - Young lady, I'm talking now.
1:31:48 > 1:31:53- You can't say things like that.- It's what you said!- I can but you can't.
1:31:53 > 1:32:00- I've granted you a great deal of latitude.- You owe him an apology in the name of the whole bench.
1:32:00 > 1:32:03Just because a judge couldn't tell a work of art...
1:32:03 > 1:32:06I'll commit you for contempt of court!
1:32:06 > 1:32:13Artists aren't ordinary people! They're so sensitive, if you hurt them just a bit, they run off.
1:32:13 > 1:32:18They let their feelings run away and they don't know what it means
1:32:18 > 1:32:21to a girl they made fall in love with them.
1:32:21 > 1:32:26You're to blame! You stand for the law and it was the law that did it.
1:32:26 > 1:32:28If art and beauty mean anything,
1:32:28 > 1:32:32you apologise to Mr Somerset in the name of the law!
1:32:32 > 1:32:34You can commit me, I'm finished.
1:32:34 > 1:32:37Bravo! >
1:32:37 > 1:32:40APPLAUSE
1:32:42 > 1:32:47- You heard the judge. You heard her. Good luck, chum.- No hard feelings.
1:32:47 > 1:32:49Order!
1:32:49 > 1:32:51< Order! Order!
1:32:54 > 1:32:58Order in the court!
1:32:58 > 1:33:02Mr Somerset, will you please approach the bench?
1:33:04 > 1:33:06Thank you.
1:33:06 > 1:33:08Order, please.
1:33:08 > 1:33:11Did you say you were in love with Miss Newton?
1:33:11 > 1:33:15- You're under oath. - In that case, yes, Your Honour.
1:33:15 > 1:33:19Miss Newton, in that somewhat hysterical outburst,
1:33:19 > 1:33:22did you say you were in love with Mr Somerset?
1:33:25 > 1:33:29- I believe I did let it slip. - Yes, I thought I heard it.
1:33:32 > 1:33:36I don't know what else to say. There's no case against you.
1:33:36 > 1:33:39Miss Newton thinks I ought to apologise
1:33:39 > 1:33:43to Mr Somerset in the name of the bench for the injustice.
1:33:43 > 1:33:46She thinks that it would make you feel better.
1:33:46 > 1:33:50And that you would start a useful life again with her.
1:33:54 > 1:34:00Mr Somerset, it gives me great pleasure to apologise in the name of American justice
1:34:00 > 1:34:04for the insult that you have been under for three years.
1:34:04 > 1:34:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
1:34:12 > 1:34:17If you'd send me a copy of that classical book, I'd appreciate it.
1:34:17 > 1:34:19Case is dismissed!
