"Of course,I shouldn't taken a chance otherwise" "You mean knowing him I shouldn't have been such a mug" "Certainly not.I know that my brother has always been a bit wild but he has never done anything dishonest" "I don't know what else to call this" "Did you circulate a description of the car it might have had an accident" "We got the car back.He sold it for 200 £ cash back to our Berkley Square branch" "Sit down" "They made no inquiries how about the registration papers?" "I said they paid cash,buying and selling cars is a tricky business these days" "Tricky seems to be the right word" "Look here Mr Ramsay how we run our business is entirely beside the point" "Your brother has swindled us out of 200 £ and he's not getting away with it" "The fellow is a scoundrel and I intend to see that he gets punished" "Wait" "Would you continue to take that highly moral attitude if you got your money back?" "Then you do know where he is?" "I'm suggesting that you might be prepared to forget this unfortunate affair" "If I made good your loss" "You'll do that?" "No.Why should you?" "Much as I disapprove of my brother" "I don't wish him to be the first member of our family to go to prison" "It's not right you know,the man is menace" "He ought to be locked up" "How do you sign yourself?" "Philip CronshawC-R-O-N-S-H-A-W" "How much we've got left?" "47000 Francs,about 45 quids" "If you've done what I suggested and played with the table and not against it we would be well in by now" "No one could foresee the last 14 spins, nothing over19 and zero coming up twice" "You can't compete against a thing like that" "Your system.Settle the account" "Never said it was infallible" "The only thing you didn't say about it" "What do we do now" "Isn't that Gertrud Wilmot over there?" "Yes it is" "She is only the third richest girl in the world and not a thing anyone can do about it" "At least I couldn't" "Don't tell me you know her?" "I certainly do" "For Pete sake introduce me" "Waste of time old boy" "That's one we've got plenty of,come on boy, dear,we start in about 10 seconds" "Count yourself out." "Gertrude is a tough character She can sport our sort a mile off" "Come on" "Won't get you anywhere" "I've tried" "Let me try" "Hello Gertrud.How are you?" "Hi,Philip,how's the luck running with you?" "I've no complaints so far" "Won't you join us,we've been delighted if you would" "I'd love to.Thank you" "May I introduce a very dear old friend of mine,Tom Ramsay" "How do you do Miss Wilmot" "How do you do Mr Ramsay" "What shall we drink" "Champagne cocktails,shall we?" "I'll fetch them" "Yes.You do that" "Won't you ?" "Thank you" "This is delightful" "What is?" "Meeting you at last" "Don't tell me I think I know you picked up a newspaper on some distant battlefield and in it was a picture of me" "From that moment you knew what love was" "No,not quite.When I first read about you,they didn't run a picture" "What I fell for was something they said about you" "Never believe a newspaper report" "What was it?" "They mentioned your bank balance" "Please don't make fun of me,you've no ideas the tortures I went through to fall in love with a bank balance knowing nothing of the woman behind it whether she was tall and thin or short and fat with legs like a piano" "and then the wonderful day when I did see your photograph and you were beautiful" "Go on.This is terrific" "And now today I meet you,and I find your intelligent too" "All the virtues I ever asked for, for the woman I intend to make my wife" "Hey,wait a minute" "Ah.Miss Wilmot,may I call you Gertrud" "Don't give me suspense no longer name the day lend me money for the license" "Three champagne cocktails." "Quiet.Please.The man is proposing" "Where were we?" "Never mind" "Excuse me Gertrud I got a phone call to make" "May I?" "Oh please" "There is something I like to know" "This paladin,this woman without a floor, what does she get out of it all?" "A man without any redeeming qualities whatever and that is something exceedingly rare" "You're certainly having a new approach,Mr Ramsay" "Meaning none of rivals ever sink so low as to mention your money" "That's the last thing they are ever interested in" "Very poor technique" "You really think you are doing better?" "I've seen longer shots come up" "George,I'm clearing up the desk in the ante room" "Do we have to keep all these overseas?" "It depends how far they go back, any you've had for six years" "That will mean going through them all" "There is some awful lot here" "Good Heavens" "What" "Fraulein big.They don't understand it." "Read that." "You can't deny it all my life I've been hard working,decent and respectable" "Yes dear,I know that" "My brother Thomas has been an idle, worthless,dishonorable rogue" "But he hasn't stuffed yet" "If there is any justice he would be in the workhouse" "No figures for Wilmot" "Only the second richest girl in the world" "Third ,dear" "Second,what does it matter, she's got millions" "What's more she is damned attractive" "It's not fair" "Not fair,I'll tell you,it's not fair" "You see he has the impertinence to use our address again" "Excuse me, Sir.You're wanted on the phone" "It's the office,Sir" "What did they want?" "I don't know,Sir,they didn't say" "Hello.I'm.He's there now?" "Will you keep him there ,Miss Farrar, don't let him go" "Yes.At once." "I'm going up to London" "But George they are moving there" "Never mind moving I'm going to get something back of this" "Hello George" "I suppose I should congratulate you" "It has really been quite an achievement" "Come into my office" "Good Morning,Miss Down" "Good Morning, Sir" "Cheer up Patricia,there are just as good patient as he" "Now I wish you kindly" "No,no please no more sermons" "I've come here for one purpose only, have you any idea how much I owe you?" "I can tell you exactly" "Including of course the amount that frightful chap Cronshaw took of you" "Naturally" "I must say,you are a little gullible,there,George" "The amount is exactly 1218 £ 7 shillings and 4 pence" "Does that include interest?" "No." "Let's say 1300 £ shall we?" "I'm easy" "I don't want any favors" "I don't want a writer's cramp" "One thousand and three hundred pounds" "I must say I never expected to see that again" "A gentleman always pays his debts" "And does a gentleman always give a false address in order to impress a lady" "I should hope not" "And how do you account for that address in your marriage announcement in the Times" "That address?" "Nothing false about it" "I happened to tell Gertrud about Chartfield" "She rather liked the sound of it" "She always wanted a country house in England" "Your friend Bateman did not need much persuading when he heard our price" "And he has made a very nice profit on the deal" "And you,George,you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that the old place still remains in the family" "Btw George,I seem to have let my self a bit short" "I wonder if you could lend me a fiver?" "Winter Cruise is a story that was suggested to me by a woman I met by a woman I met on a journey I took in the South Seas" "She had a heart of gold and she was a crashing bore" "I avoided her like the plague but all the same I couldn't help liking her and I hope you like her too" "Winter Cruise" "Miss Reid was a good mixer that was one of the reasons why she made a success of her business" "She owned a tea-room at a celebrated beauty spot in the west of England and she always had a smile and a pleasant word for every customer who came in" "She closed down in the winter and for the last four years had taken a cruise" "Now those formalities are over all I have to do is to force the ladder" "It looks a nice ship,cargo of course" "Just a few passengers" "I do think it was nice of you to come and meet my train,Laura" "I wish I were coming with you" "I think I better say good bye to you now,dear" "Au revoir" "Good Bye, Molly and don't forget I want to know all the details" "Things always seem to happen to you which only could happen to you" "Good Bye" "Bon voyage" "Good Morning,Madam" "Good Morning" "This way Madam" "This way Miss Reid" "Good Morning Miss Reid" "And just so you know the rest of us I'm the Captain" "This good looking chap is the Chief Engineer" "This is the Mate and this dour man is the one I only hope you will meet socially the ship's doctor and now it only remains for me to wish you all a happy and comfortable trip" "May I take upon myself to thank the captain on behalf of us all for his delightful speech of welcome speaking as a traveler,whom,if I may say so,knows the ropes" "I always feel that the happiness and the harmony of a ship depends upon as much upon the passengers as on the crew" "So I personally intend to banish all silly old stand-offishness and be really real fellow wherever we meet with each and everyone on board" "Well,now we are all shipmates aren't we?" "Does anyone know Benchester?" "Yes.I have an uncle there" "Fifteen years ago I opened a little tea shop there,it's called Molly's Parlour" "You know where the Cathedral is?" "Molly Parlour is.." "Have ever been in the Brazilian jungle,doctor?" "Now what?" "I was thinking of the parrots,the only difference between them and this female is that the parrot stop at nightfall" "Happily we'll not see much of her, there is rough weather ahead" "I suppose because I'm so interested in people and running a tea shop one gets to know a lot about things" "As you relieve me" "I'm just to find the.." "Good Morning is this fun?" "It doesn't worry you?" "No,this is nothing" "Likely to get worse" "A real gale,what fun!" "Captain I was wondering if you and the doctor were prepared to play bridge with me this afternoon" "I am not very good at it,but as I always say,it's only a game" "I might this afternoon" "Well we see" "Oh Dear,I've made another silly mistake" "Yes,you have" "Now,now I seem to notice that our Captain made a little mistake when he played his 10" "That was no mistake,it was to let you know" "Yes but as I never heard of that way of letting somebody know something" "I couldn't very well know,could I?" "Yes" "A message from Miss Reid." "Would we like to play bridge" "Tell her we are sea sick,yes,both of us" "Good Morning Mr Ballentine." "This is steady and so much warmer one can feel Jamaica getting closer" "Quite a tropical touch in the air" "Yes" "And how are we this morning?" "I'm all right,my dolls have been seasick" "Oh dear,oh dear" "How old are you?" "How old do you think I am?" "87" "Hello.Good Morning Mrs Robinson" "Good Morning my dear" "Good Morning Doctor.I thought you were sleeping" "Not now" "Where do you stay in Jamaica,Miss Reid?" "I'm not staying,I'm making the round trip, can't be too long away from Molly's Parlour" "I do think it is so clever of you to run a tea shop" "I should love to but I haven't got the graft" "You need a certain amount of organizing ability but though I say it myself I have got that" "My great friend Miss Price always says I very nearly have man's mind" "Do you think that is a bad thing,Doctor?" "Not at all,my great aunt Luise very nearly had a man's mind" "She also very nearly had a man's moustache" "Where are you going?" "Escaping" "Miss Reid?" "Yes." "As I am saying Mrs Robinson,Molly's parlour is not just one of these.." "Well Doc,all going,every blessed one of them" "Yes for the time being" "What does that mean?" "Our Miss Reid is still with us" "We are picking up new passengers in Trinidad" "So happy in Trinidad,so soon to be drowned in a sea of chatter" "Where is she,Miss Reid?" "Going into town to buy herself some junk no doubt" "It's a pleasure to be out of sound of that voice" "Ahoj,there" " You spoke too soon" "I had such an interesting day in Kingston" "Really" "I love new places,you see,that gets one something to talk about" "Yes,nothing like having someone to talk about" "I quite agree.Hello Captain" "Anything wrong Tom?" "I've just been seeing the agent.We've been ordered straight back to England" "Back to England?" "The passengers we were picking up in Trinidad have been accommodated on another ship" "How very disappointing.I've was so looking forward to our trip to Trinidad" "Why naturally Miss Reid, what I'll tell you we do" "I can easily arrange to have you transferred to another ship" "It's awfully nice of you,Captain, do you know?" "I think I really rather stay with you" "I am already beginning to feel this ship is my home" "You realize of course you will be the only passenger aboard" "You mean I'll be alone with all you men" "Oh,I always say if a lady is a lady a gentleman will be a gentleman" "Now,don't you worry,we'll have a lovely time,cheery oh,see you all later on" "Alone with that female" "For all 14 days" "Nothing to be heard with the sea and the wind,the misery" "I shall rather take to my bed or the bottle" "Probably both" "Singing" I think it would be fine to throw you in the sea Miss Reid"" ""for the sake of Auld Lang Syne"" "Oh,Doctor,you look pretty ill" "I'm in pain" "Yes,I can see that,can't something be done?" "No,it will pass off presently" "I really feel I ought to do something" "Let me lend you my own special pillow, that I always travel with" "There,that's better" "I know what doctors are, they never bother to look after themselves" "Now I'm not going to let you talk, I'm just going to sit here and read" "They all say it is such a comfort to have someone near when one is not feeling well" "Hello" "You slept for over an hour.How's the pain?" "Gone" "Good." "Feel strong enough to come and eat something?" "Yes I think I do" "Fond of reading,Doctor?" "Yes" "So am I.The moment I saw you,I thought he looks clever" "One can always read a neigh fare of good talk too,in a good book,don't you?" "No" "It's very interesting,tell me why?" "Well I can't give you a reason" "That's very strange,but I always say human nature is strange" "Very kind of you to bother about me Miss Reid,thank you" "It was nothing at all" "I can't bear to see anyone suffering or anything for that matter" "Do you know I can get quite upset even if I see a tree being cut down" "You must live a very emotional life" "Come on,men,you need something to get through the meal with Delila" "Now,no,no ceremony,I just want to be treated as simply a member of the crew" "Just talk away,I won't hear at all" "What is those?" "Pink Gin" "I'll have one.I always think it is such a nice clean drink" "Nice clean strong drink" "You find it strong,do you?" "How interesting" "The pink parts come from East Indies, doesn't it.Mr Andrews?" "Now,come along ,you've been in East Indies,I know,tell us all about it" "I mean to draw you all out" "Really?" "Yes,I need to find all about each one of you" "It's a thing I think is so interesting of..oh thank you" "It's a thing I think is so interesting about the sea" "The restrictions,people throwing back on each other like the Brontees,you know what I mean" "Doctor,don't you agree with me,oh steward, we all have one more" "No,no,no" "Yes,yes.And this one on me" "The sea as I was saying make people forget on one and another" "Said of pink gins" "Did you know what I mean?" "The restricted space all living together forces people to do their own entertainment,like the Brontees" "Now I don't which one is Charlotte, but I know which one is Emily" "You with your quiet detached clever mind you, I should say, were Emily yes, definitely Emily" "What annoyed he is" "Captain,there is so much I want to know about the ship," "I've thousands of questions up my sleeve for you" "Nothing around just the sea and sky and yet there we should be in England in 13 days" "13 days" "What was it?" "A technical matter" "The technical matters is just the thing I'm itching to know about" "Tell me when.." "It would bore you" "But I'm never bored,that's why, if you won't think me conceited for saying so" "I'm never boring" "Help" "Oh,that's right just veer a way as though I weren't here at all" "Oh,Doctor I think it eaves a question for you" "For instance" "I'm delighted,but I think I better go and take some more medicines" "But...don't leave us now" "Perhaps you would be kind enough to drink that for me" "Thanks,Emily" "Rat" "who said I was white man's burden" "I had such a strange dream last night" "Oh Captain just one word in your ear" "Me?" "Tired?" "Never" "Come in Doctor.We were having a councillor of war about our female" "We were wondering how we are going to have a really good Christmas party with her among us" "For once could we just ignore her" "You can't ignore Niagara" "You know what she is.She is a human long playing record" "I wish somebody take her off" "I wish somebody would play along" "You mean for better or worse" "Yes.A nice single young man like Joe" "Yes.But I'm going" "Sit down,Joe.Are you serious?" "As a doctor I would say that all Miss Reid needs is how can I put it likely so as not to shock Joe" "All she needs is romance" "Romance?" "Yes, involve Miss Reid in a romance and we have peace and quiet" "We've quiet,you're sure?" "Certed" "For now we have to do is to find the man" "Yes" "No good looking at me I've got a girl in Tilbury" "No.Very well then.What about you Captain?" "Stop.I'm not romantic.And I don't want to lose my wife after all these years" "A little light romance with Miss Reid surely your wife wouldn't leave you because of that" "I wasn't thinking that I would lose my wife because she would leave me" "I would lose her she would die laughing" "How about you doctor?" "Yes.It was your diagnosis" "It's my professional duties to prescribe remedies but it's not my professional duty to administer the remedy in person" "I'm not standing another 10 days of blather" "A man has got to be found" "The answered gentleman is in the negative" "Well,we've got to find him" "Pierre?" "Yes Sir" "Are you married?" "No Sir" "Engaged?" "No Sir" "You know we have a lady aboard" "Yes Sir" "A very charming lady,a very delightful lady" "Well" "No ladies are delightful,Sir" "A real McCoy" "Pierre,you know on the world-cargoship the company is anxious to encourage the passenger side of the line and I've instructions to promote the happiness of those sailing in our ships and I think,we think" "Well,we felt if Miss Reid would find herself caught up in a romance it would be very nice" "Very nice,very unlikely,very nice" "Why unlikely?" "For a romance it's necessary a certain warmth" "That nonsense about English women being iceberg is mere a fallacy made up with the French" "Yes" "Yes.And you're not all that busy on this ship and to cut the cackle I selected you to provide the romance" "Me?" "Sir, but I've all washing up to do, Sir" "You'll have to work your romance with your washing up like thousands others have" "But I'm not romantic Sir,I'm very timid" "Timid?" "You?" "A frenchman" "We are not all great lovers,Sir, that what the fellow say about the French made up by the English" "Miss Read is a lady of the highest distinction if she was French she would at least be a Countess" "Even so,Sir,I don't see why she must be provided with romance right in the middle of the sea to the middle of the sea is as good as any other place" "I'm very sorry Sir.." "Sorry" "It's not a request I'm making,you will present yourself to Miss Reid" "Where?" "I don't know,after dinner" "What shall I do?" "Do?" "Act naturally,that's an order" "Don't worry you'll get danger money for this" "What a delicious dinner I swear there was rum in that pudding" "I expect you brought it aboard in Jamaica,didn't you?" "I wonder if I dare try...oh thank you" "I wonder if I dare try it out on my customers at Molly's Parlour" "They all be so tipsy you know" "A penny for your thought Captain?" "I would like more than that" "And what are we thinking about Doctor hardly a word out ever since the soup" "We mustn't get brood in though" "Oh,I believe I am going to take my coffee out on deck the stars are wonderful tonight and there is nothing I adore more than to look at the sky" "I adore that vast silence" "She adores that vast silence" "I've never had much faith in you doctors as you know but if you can stand this tide of conversation,it will be a miracle" "Think of tomorrow that vast silence" "I don't care what you say it's just a matter of being firm go to the head office and say you've just got to take away those drab old curtains" "Just look at you three men, you look quite depressed and more than likely it's because of those old curtains" "I know I can be very persistent,but I shall go nagging about those old curtains, no matter of how much you may want to pick me up and throw me into the sea" "Doctor,am I not correct in saying but the right environment is the remedy for many ills" "Well,don't ask the doctor about remedies it's a subject he knows nothing about" "Come now Captain that's like saying you do not know how to steer the ship or whatever it is you get up to on the bridge" "Do you know I had such an amusing experience last night with the steward" "The steward?" "Yes" "I was just retiring to rest when there was a knock at the door" "Who is it I said,it's the steward, Madame he answered may I speak to you" "So I popped on a dressing gown and opened the door and said yes" "Excuse me Madame,he said,but would you like a nice cup of tea" "Is that all he said?" "Yes.I nearly laughed" "It appealed to my sense of humor if you know what I mean" "But I didn't want to hurt his feelings so I said "No thank you" wished him good night,pleasant dreams and shut the door" "I shall heed him.." "No,no,I know what just what it is, he is young and French and he has got the idea that English people drink tea at all times and he just wanted me to give me a little treat" "I shall.." "Oh,not to be cross with him" "I didn't mind at all I like those queer little things which happen to one when one is traveling" "I just did get a good laugh out of it" "Steward" "Sir" "For heavens sake,man, what possessed you last night to ask Miss Reid if she wanted a cup of tea" "I am a steward so you told me to act naturally so I thought it was a natural thing to do" "Now,look I'll have no more of this filly falling romance the lady needs,romance the lady is going to get" "Very good,Sir" "Who is it?" "It's the steward,Madame" "I didn't ring" "Madame" "I didn't ring,je n'ais pas sonne" "I have a radio message for you,Miss Reid" "I'll read your message,would you leave it outside the door please" "It's prepaid I must have an answer" "An answer?" "Oh,what a shock." "Oh dear I hope nothing has happened" "Would you put it through please" "What a silly billy I am" "Come in" "Bon soir" "Bon soir" "Won't you sit down?" "I should not.." "Let be unconventional" "What" "It means let us be boheme, well not exactly boheme" "Anyway asseyes vous!" "I am very lousy in my English" "You mustn't say that" "What?" "English?" "No,the other word.Yes I'm afraid your English is not the best that's why I thought we ought to have a little talk" "I'll know how you sent me that message" "You know?" "Yes.You said to yourself.Here is Miss Reid, all alone with the Christmas eve in the offing so I send her a little message to cheer her up and it's a very nice little message but and you won't mind me saying it" "because of the language difficulties I'm afraid your message is not quite correct" "I say it was correct" "What a nuisance these silly old languages are,aren't they?" "Well,now your message,it's a very nice little message but I'm afraid you haven't quite said what you wanted to say" "For instance,Happy Christmas, that's perfectly correct" "Peace and good will to all men, excellent" "How you are beautiful,no" "No?" "No.What you meant was you are very nice" "But I don't think I understand very well this word nice" "Oh,it is a splendid word, anything can be nice well that is to say if it is nice" "Now we come to, I love you,no" "No?" "No.There you are in difficulty with your French word,aimer which as you know can be used to mean I like you or I love you" "What you meant was I like you" "No" "I beg you pardon" "No" "So what did you mean?" "What I said" "Do you like a little walk around the deck?" "La vie est belle.Life is nice" "Correct?" "Nice is beautiful" "Very extraordinary" "You are very quiet today Miss Reid" "I say you are very quiet today" "I'm thinking" "Won't you tell us your thoughts,Miss Reid?" "If you don't mind,Doctor, I rather keep my thoughts to myself" "Have you ever been to Salaam, Miss Reid?" "No" "Have you ever been to Salaam,Doctor?" "Yes,I once saw a native production of Julius Caesar in Salaam" "That must have been rather interesting" "As a matter of the fact it was very depressing" "Do you care for some coffee Madame?" "No thank you" "Nice looking young chap,yeah" "Who?" "Steward" "Is he?" "I suppose so" "I'm afraid I have to go,the port parted" "Excuse me" "Well" "Sir?" "Have you not anything to tell us?" "About what Sir?" "You know very well about what" "Well if it is about Miss Reid" "Go on,go on" "You told me she was a lady of exalted ranks" "Surely it is not customary among British gentlemen to discuss such a lady behind her back" "No.Yes." "What are you grinning at?" "Oh,go away,it doesn't matter" "Very good Sir" "Worried Tom?" "With me?" "No,nothing,I was just thinking." "Where is Miss Reid?" "Sitting out on deck" "Does she know that the party has started?" "I think so,Sir" "Then go and ask her,would she give her pleasure of her company" "The Captain's compliments,Miss Reid, will you join him in the lark" "Very well if he really wants me to" "Good Night" "Good Night,Miss Reid" "The old pass might belong to you I said, but this happens to be Dublin and those happen to be my feature standing lines" "Miss Reid,how dear you are won't you join us in a little something" "Champagne or something a little milder" "Champagne" "Champagne" "And a Merry Christmas" "Merry Christmas" "Coming in for breakfast Miss Reid?" "Oh,I had mine already,thank you,Doctor" "Happy Christmas" "Oh,yes.Merry Christmas" "What's this?" "From Miss Reid,Sir" "Tell the cook I like my coffee black and strong" "Happy Christmas" "Happy Christmas" "They are from Miss Reid" "What is it?" "Presents you idiot" "She ought not give us presents" "Merry Christmas" "You too" "That's a jolly good tie" "There is a present to you too, from Miss Reid" "Makes you feel a bit.." "Me too" "Cigars" "Come on.I suppose we got to go and thank her" "Come on" "Miss Read.We don't know how to thank you for your kind thoughts" "I'm afraid there wasn't a very large collection in Kingston and you've been all so very kind to me" "We appreciate it so much" "Miss Read,I wonder if you care to come down to have a look at the engine room after breakfast,I'm happy to show you" "No thank you" "Just say a word and I would very please to show you.." "I brought you something myself" "Oh,doc" "It's indeed Miss Read I'm afraid I feel the same" "Would you excuse me" "Of course" "There you are.I just want to say how much appreciated your kindness both of you" "Not at all" "No.Really you have been wonderful you thought of everything, everything,even romance" "What?" "Don't deny it,I'm not a complete idiot,you know" "When a good looking young man appears and tells me he is in love with me something tells me something fishy is going on" "I can assure you" "I tried to make the best of myself but I'm perfectly aware I'm not a young man dream of peace" "But thank you so much for thinking of it,it was a charming idea" "Miss Read I feel I owe you an apology" "It was really my thought" "It was really nothing to apologize for,I was highly amused" "And who knows,your idea might have been a great success" "Hello Molly" "Good bye,Captain" "Good bye Miss Read" "And good bye,Doctor" "Good bye,Miss Read,I hope you forgive me" "And I hope you forgive me too" "Miss Read you're not going before saying good bye to me" "Of course not.Good bye, Joe" "Miss Read,I'm afraid I underestimated your common sense" "Good bye Captain" "Good bye,Miss Read" "Nora,dear,how nice to see you" "She was really a good sport" "You look so well" "Oh,I just must wait" "Look she is waiving" "Yes but not to us" "What about a cup of tea?" "What a nice ship" "Goodness how chilly here" "Do you like your coat?" "No we'll wait for the luggage and have a cup of tea they won't be long,I assure you" "That will be lovely" "And as I always say Nora,one has to take things as they come" "What sort of things do you mean?" "Just funny unexpected rather nice things" "There's no doubt about it Nora, travel definitely broadens the mind" "It does and have such fun" "How I wish I could go on a cruise,but my brother say it is a waste of money" "Why don't you tell your brother that your doctor has ordered you to go" "Yes.But would he believe me?" "My dear,if one puts one's mind to it, one can make men believe anything" "I expect you will be quite glad to get back to Molly's parlour" "Do you know I think I am going to change the name,I'm rather kind of Molly's parlour" "I thought I call it Chez Molly" "Chez Molly?" "French" "Yes." "Miss?" "Gigolo and Gigolette is a story about two people in the show business" "In it you are going to see something of their private lives from the inside" "For my part I wish there were laws to prevent such people from risking life and limb, night after night to give the public a morbid thrill but there aren't so in order to earn a hazardous living they will continue to break their backs and break their necks for your amusement" "Gigolo and Gigolette" "The food in the restaurant at the Ritz Hotel in Monte Carlo was expensive but good" "The orchestra was highly paid and there were two cabaret shows besides other more sensational entertainment" "These were the means by which the management saw to attract visitors and get them to win or lose money at the gambling tables" "It was a gala night and the bar was crowded" "Hello Cotman,have a drink" "I don't mind if I do,Sir,Scotch,thanks" "Scotch and soda and dry martini,please" "How's the wife?" "Stella is all right.." "..nice to have a bit of a lie-down before the show,you know, steady the old nerves,she said" "I wouldn't do that stunt of hers for 10000 pounds" "Don't suppose you would,no one can do it but her" "Hop from that height I mean into that only 5 ft of water" "Terrifying.Paco Espinal is the biggest draw the Ritz ever had" "I'm glad he admits it,I do know they serve as many dinners in July as they usually do in August" "Salut" "Cheers.I hope you are making a packet" "I can't exactly say that,you see we got to have a contract naturally we didn't know it was going to be riot" "Still Paco Espinal is talking of booking us for next month" "I don't mind telling you,he's not getting us for the same money or anything like" "Why?" "A letter from an agent early this morning asking us go to Deuville and the money he's offering" "Excuse me,I think I see my people coming" "I knew we would find you here Sandy,I am not too late am I?" "Only half an hour" "Hello Paco.Have you got me a good table?" "The very best.You've seen her" "Three times.." "I think it is the most frightening thing I ever seen" "Only three?" "Sandy comes here every night" "I want to be until her death,she is bound to kill herself one of these nights and I don't want be petrified to help him" "She is been quite a success,we'll keep her around for another month" "So I ask her not to kill herself before the end of August now from that she can do whatever she likes" "My Goodness,don't tell me I have to eat trout and roast chicken every night until the end of August?" "Is Mr Cotman here?" "He was here a few moments ago ,Sir,he was here having a drink with Mr Wescott" "If he comes again tell him I want to see him in my office" "We'll order later" "Very well,Madame" "You know we should get a very good view from here" "I like to sit right next to the tank" "But why?" "So that I can see her face" "Why?" "Is she pretty?" "No.It isn't that.It's the expression in her eyes" "In my opinion she is scared to death every time she does it" "I don't believe it.It is undoubtedly a phoney" "You don't know what you are talking about" "To dive from that height into as little water as that" "She has to turn in a flash the moment she touches the water" "She doesn't,she bash her head against the bottom and break her back" "There is no danger" "If there is no danger,then it is nothing to it anyway it's only to admit,unless she is risking her life it's the biggest swindle I ever heard of" "Pretty well everything is a swindle, you can take my word for it" "Well,you should know,Prince" "Ladies and Gentlemen,you are now going to see the most marvelous feat of the century" "Madame Stella,the greatest diver in the world is about to dive from a height of 80 ft into a lake of flames" "5 ft deep" "This is a feat that has never been performed before" "And Madam Stella is prepared to give 1000 pounds to anyone who will attempt it" "Ladies and Gentlemen I have the honor to present Madame Stella" "Not pretty" "Good figure,you'll see" "You're quite right about the figure,Eva" "A little underdeveloped of course" "Ladies and Gentlemen" "This amazing feat is made possible only by Madame Stella's supreme judgment and skill" "It requires absolute concentration, the slightest distraction may prove fatal" "I must therefore ask you when I give the word to remain absolutely still and silent" "Thank you" "Mesdames et Messieurs Ils exigent une concentration absolute" "La moin destraction pouvre cette fatal" "Je vais donc vous pris lorsque je donne la signal" "De vouz tenez absolutement immobile et observe la plus profond silence" "Ladies and Gentlemen" "Absolute silence please" "Are you ready Madame Stella?" "Ready" "Go" "It's over so quickly,you don't really get you money for it" "Thank goodness we can order dinner now" "Angelo?" "You are imaging" "I tell you before it was set again somebody slandered me" "Darling" "And in all of this I catch the side of the permanent it was not because I turned to you late the board was slack" "Darling" "Stella,look here,nobody touch the board it's just the same as it always is, I check up the scene" "I always check up,you know that" "Yes I know that Syd,it's just that I had a bit of scare" "Now there.You are just tired,that's all" "It's those sleeping pills,I don't think they give a proper rest with those things" "I'm all right" "I should hope so,can't have you getting sick now,you know" "There is only for a little while longer,darling" "Yes I know" "What you need it is a drink" "Slip on your flap,we are going to have a glass of champagne in the bar" "Yes.That's what I suppose I need" "Syd,you do love me,even if I'm silly?" "Shall we go now my love?" "Yes it's too late" "She is sensational" "Yes.We should introduce ourselves" "It's the Warbecks.It can't be true" "I like to ask Angelo.Angelo?" "Yes my lady" "We can't wait to know.Who are they?" "They begged me to give them a table because they wanted to see Madame Stella through her dive" "They were in the profession themselves once" "And I think they are heavenly" "Be so good and direct us to the artist dressing room" "We wish to pay our respect to Madame Stella" "Madame Stella?" "You won't find her there" "She has not gone?" "I thought she give a second performance at 2" "That's true.They might be in the bar" "It won't hurt her to go and have a look,Carlo" "Right away my love" "Better?" "That's right.Hey,Philips encore deux coups." "No.No more" "Let see how you feel" "You know I can't bear see you upset" "Syd" "Excuse me,dear but I had to come and congratulate you" "Being English the same as you are,ever the professional soul." "It's a grand act my dear,and deserves to be a success" "Is it your husband?" "Yes.This is Syd" "Yes, matron" "And this is mine.Mr Penezzi." "He is a Count really" "And I'm the Countess directly by rights" "But when we left the profession we dropped the titles" "Will you have a drink" "No.You have it with us" "Carlo,you order" "Champagne" "What was your line?" "Tell them who I am,Carlo" "The Human Canon-Ball" "Yes.Flora the human canon-ball" "Must been before our times" "Oh,naturally,while we retired from our profession,the same year as Millberg" "It made quite a sensation when we did too" "But you heard of me of course" "I was the biggest draw in London all the swells came to see me the King Edward, I don't know who all" "I was the talk of the town, isn't that true Carlo?" "She crowded the Old Aquarium for a year" "It was the most spectacular act they ever had" "What did you do?" "I was fired out of a cannon,believe me it was a real sensation but you know what the public is they only want a change however what it is,they get sick of it,then they don't get to see me no more" "It will happen to you ,my dear, same as it happens to me" "It comes to all of us but Mr Penezzi always had his head screwed on right" "What's the good of going on risking your neck,when they don't care anymore so we came down here and bought a cafe" "Here's to you both" "Cheers" "We are going into car business when we got some capital together" "That is good" "What you did.Was it very risky?" "Not if you kept your head it wasn't, and I never lost mine" "Except over Rizzo Penezzi" "He was a proper old match I can tell you and seems like that,so long as you love each other it was really safe,isn't it right Carlo?" "That's right Madame" "It's funny isn't it.With ordinary people they have a buzz stop or get sucked over and all it happens that they lose their gloves or scratch themselves with a safety pin but with us is different" "You remember the Patanelli?" "Mr Cotman.Monsieur Espinal was looking for you" "Wants to see you particularly" "Where is he?" "In his office,I think" "We'd be going.We just want to congratulate you" "Good Bye" "Good Bye" "Who was the Patanellis?" "They were a high wire act,you must have heard of them" "Very sad it was,you know,they never used a net,and Mrs Patanelli fell" "She was right up on the wire,and suddenly she stopped and couldn't move" "Lost her nerve,it was awful,she stayed there for about a minute quite still and then people in the audience began screaming and the poor little thing fell,they couldn't understand it,but we guessed" "You see we dredged an extent,on that day we heard that she and Mr Patanelli had a row" "He said he was sick of her, she said she didn't care but she fell just the same, tragic wasn't it?" "But you don't have to worry,I could tell the minute I saw you two here together just now,they are all right I said" "Yes that's right" "We must go Carlo" "Come and have a drink with us one day will you dear and I'd like you to show my photographs,press cuttings" "Yes we'd like to" "Good Bye" "I'll just finish my drink and go and see what Paco wants" "You stay here or would you go to the dressing room" "What about the old girl?" "Isn't she a riot?" "Pity her being a draw and him too" "Relax my love" "What's the matter darling?" "Syd I can't do it again tonight" "Why on earth not?" "I'm afraid" "No I know you better that that.You are the bravest little thing in the world" "Have a brandy,that will pull you together" "No.It will only make it worse" "You can't disappoint your public like that?" "That public.That pack of chattering fools with more money then they know what to do with" "They don't care" "Of course it is the thrill they come for" "But you know and I know that there is no risk not if you keep your nerves" "I've lost my nerves,Syd" "Gently ,darling" "You don't know what it feels like up there at the top of the ladder when I look out at the pack" "I'll tell you I can't do it again tonight, Syd,you got to get me out of it" "If you funk tonight it will be worse tomorrow" "No it won't it is just having to do it twice" "Syd,you must tell Mr Espinal that I can't give two shows a night" "But they will never agree,the whole set of trade depends on it it's only to see you they come at all" "I can't help it" "Anyway Espinal now wants to see me" "What about" "I don't know.I'll tell him you had fainting or something and see what he says" "Will you wait here?" "I am not going on again Syd" "All right.I tell him.Where will you be the dressing room?" "No.I'm going to the hotel" "I see" "Syd" "I suppose you'd rather go back to the old life" "I'll see you later" "What are you doing sitting in the dark" "It seems cooler" "What did he say?" "He wasn't too pleased.I didn't think he would be of course" "But you explained to him" "I worked the thanking fig gag, tell me his father about that" "I've got great news,they are keeping us for next month,twice the money" "What do you think about that?" "Have I got to do it twice?" "You see.." "Have I?" "Yes" "You see I tried to make it only one show a night but he wouldn't hear of it" "He said it would be absolutely essential you should do the supper at 10" "You can see his points,mean after all double of money is worth it" "No" "No.Darling" "No" "I can't Syd.I can't" "Come on darling,back up.We can't turn down an offer like that" "Means more than 400 pounds with that extra we can be in business next year and forget all this" "After all is not that long now" "I'm frightened,I don't want to die,Syd" "I love you" "I know you do,darling,and I love you, since we been married I've never looked at another woman" "But we've never had money like this before and we won't again" "You know what these things are we are a riot now but we can't expect it go on forever,we've got to cash in" "Don't you mind if I die,Syd?" "Don't talk so silly,what would I be without you?" "You mustn't give away like this you've got yourself respected, think of you,famous" "Yes.The human cannon-ball" "No.Stella" "That was quite an eye opener to me" "What do you think they come and see me over and over again for?" "On a chance to see me kill myself" "And a week after I'm dead they will even forgotten my name" "That's what the public is" "And when I looked at that old woman tonight I saw it all" "No good Syd.I can't go on" "I told you what Paco said it's the supper trade now after all" "If you can do it once" "I can't do it again" "I mean ever" "Syd,dear I'm not being silly it's not just today this has been growing on me" "I can't sleep at night thinking of it and when I do doze off" "I see myself standing at the top of the ladder looking down" "Tonight I don't know how I got up there I was trembling so" "And when you lit the flames" "Syd if you really loved me you wouldn't want me go through this torture" "300000 francs and 150 odd dollars that's what we've saved" "Nearly enough" "It seems a pity to throw it all away" "I'm sorry Syd" "Well can't be done" "I'll see Paco tomorrow and tell him" "I should be able to rest if I were you" "I think I go for a bit of a walk" "Did you see Paco?" "He wasn't there" "He went into Nice just before lunch and won't be back until this evening" "What will they do then?" "I suppose he could sue us for breach of contract or insist on a medical examination" "Still got a few days to go on the old one,you know" "I doubt it would be worth its while" "What he can do is make sure we never get any job of any sort down here" "And then it will be the old life again" "I know you think I'm unreasonable Syd" "No I don't darling but just for a while I thought that one day we might be able to get out of this whole filthy business and live like human beings" "Not to make a fortune,I don't mean but just to get something behind us something steady,we are not clever people we are not in the profession that matter to us" "Nobody would care if we went down the drain" "What a stunt.The only chance we ever had was to make our money quick save it and buy ourselves out" "I just take my medicine I am just sorry for my self" "I'll be all right, and we make plans" "I'll think I'll be going to the dressing room Syd" "I've got things to do" "Packing up,before the blow falls,any help?" "No I can manage" "You stay here and have a sleep" "Want to leave the cigarettes?" "Good Bye Syd" "Will you come back here?" "Yes.All right" "Quatre premiere" "Hello dear" "Hello" "I'm just going to say I've been playing on carre the all afternoon and that's the first time it's come up" "Here come on I had enough,take my seat" "The first time I've seen you in here" "Yes" "You know I come here every day" "I wouldn't dear" "Never mind,dear,we all have all our ups and downs" "What you need is something to drink here,this is yours" "It was his money not mine" "Your husband's?" "Well I'll expect you pay it back,dear" "Maybe because it is Thursday,that table is always bad on Thursdays" "He'll never forgive me" "Has it all gone?" "You fool" "Syd" "Any with the old brag is giving him a frightening" "Yes she is quite a girl" "Hello Paco" "Good Evening Countess" "Has Mr Cotman been here?" "I haven't seen him at all this evening,Sir" "You sure?" "Quite Sir" "You know before Paco Espinal lost his money,he was quite attractive" "Is Mr Cotman there?" "No he isn't" "You are quite sure" "Mr Espinal" "Good Evening Mrs Cotman" "I am looking for your husband" "Doesn't seem to be about anywhere it is very important that I see him" "He won't be here" "What do you mean won't be here" "It is supposed to be a new contract tonight" "I got to get the new posters out and the printers are waiting in my in my office" "For instructions." "Is the contract signed?" "No it isn't" "What is it good worrying her, can't you see she is upset" "Who are you,Madam?" "I'm a friend of hers" "I must ask you to excuse us" "I don't know what is going on here" "Your husband has the terms on your behalf are you now refusing them?" "No.I'm not refusing" "No,dear,don't be silly.Can't you see they had a row" "She can't go on and do that show" "She must go on otherwise complaints" "Don't take notice of him.You can't do that show,dear, you know it" "It's madness" "Would you mind getting out of here" "Anyway how is she going to do it without him.Tell me that" "No risk.She is doing it night after night." "She is used to the risk" "Get out and don't interfere" "I am finished getting ready" "But you are not going to do it tonight" "Yes I am" "The bandleader can make the announcement and I tell him when to light the flames" "Thank you very much I tell him,you'll see" "But you can't dear,you can't" "Yes I can.Tonight and every night." "Until I kill myself" "I mustn't disappoint my public" "Qui et la?" "It's me" "Me and Carlo" "Good Evening" "Good Evening" "May we come in?" "Sure,if you want to" "I was with your wife this afternoon" "She did it for you,you know?" "Don't you think you should mind your own business" "I've never been one for that,have I Carlo?" "No my Dear" "You see she does want you to love her,that's all" "Excuse me for saying so but do you know what you are talking about" "Please" "All right Carlo" "All I'm telling you,my lad is if you do not do something quickly you'll lose her that's all" "What are you getting at?" "She will kill herself when she does that dive tonight" "If that's all you are worried about you can forget it" "She is not doing the dive anymore she has lost her nerves" "If you don't mind my saying so with all that talk of yours last night that did it" "If you believe that,my lad,you are even bigger fool that I took you for" "She lost her nerve because she's come to think it's the cash that matters to you,not her" "Cash?" "What do you mean that cash?" "What do you take me for?" "I love Stella and I don't care who knows it" "I wouldn't let her make that dive again for all the money in the plate" "That's not what she thinks,and if you don't believe me you'd better get down there now before she does put on a show for them" "You are crazy,she can't do a show without me" "Can't she?" "I mustn't disappoint my public she said" "The bandleader can make the announcement" "The colonel thinks that I am out of my mind" "I tell her it is a phoney but she insists about coming just the same" "For the trout and the roast chicken" "I'm simply starving" "Madame Stella vites" "Are you all right I thought something had happened" "Save your excuses,bandleader understands" "When you say he is ready to light the flames" "You are all right.Aren't you?" "Will an accident be bad for business?" "You are joking my dear" "Madame Stella,the greatest diver in the world is about to dive from the height of 80 ft into a lake of flames 5ft deep" "I said what is happening to Cotman" "Who is Cotman?" "Her husband,the man who usually make the announcements" "I wonder what happened" "Does it matter?" "She does the dive" "I have the honor to present Madame Stella" "I think there is something wrong" "Perhaps her husband has gone off with a lady" "There is something wrong" "Ladies and gentlemen this amazing feat is made possible only by Madam Stella's supreme judgment and skills" "It requires absolute concentration" "She has stopped" "Ah Monsieur Cotman vouz etes retard" "Wherever have you been?" "Stella is not going to do that dive tonight" "What are you talking about?" "Are you mad" "You want to kill herself" "She was all right she told me herself" "She is not all right,if you won't stop her,I will" "Stella" "Stella" "Wait I'm coming up" "She is going to fall" "Hello Syd" "Nothing else matters but us,hold on" "I just felt a bit faint I am all right now" "Are you ready Madame Stella?" "Ready" "Subtitles by Seglora"
