"Little difficult to find do you know Southwark at all,opposite Wapping steps?" "Not intimately,no" "You cross Tower Bridge passed the Cathedral and on to the traffic lights" "It's really rather complicated I am afraid" "Commander,I was wondering maybe if you are free this evening, you care to join us?" "I'd love to show you the way but I really don't want to impose myself on you" "Oh,but you wouldn't be,Commander we'll be indebted to you, we'll be four,wouldn't we,Virginia?" "Yes,we would" "That's great then" "This is really kind of you" "Not at all,it's kind of you" "Sounds more fun in any of those divine places in Paris" "You know,Commander,I don't think I like you" "I'm sorry I thought I was simply oozing with kindly charm" "Which I find quite resistible" "Commander,you are a rake" "I wish you call me Max" "All right,Max you are a rake" "If we are going to sum each other up you're heartless,beautiful but heartless,you knew perfectly well" "I was unaware of your engagement with Charles,since you led me on when I put my foot in it,you took pleasure in me discovering it,that's being heartless" "I'm sorry,I don't know how I did it" "I accept your apology" "That doesn't alter the fact, you are a rake oozing with charm and you swapped my glove to force your intentions on me" "I'd never do a thing like that" "Everybody,Cha Cha Cha" "Come on,Jason,I just love the cha cha cha,Commander" "Will you have lunch with me tomorrow?" "I don't think that would be such a good idea" "Besides,I'm having lunch with some friends of Charles" "All right,what about Saturday?" "After all,Charles won't be back until next week and the least I could do for him is to take good care of you" "In memory of our wartime comradeship" "You haven't answered my question" "Will you have lunch with me on Saturday aboard my ship?" "That was fun" "Commander,sure I'm grateful to you taking us down here" "I'm glad you liked it,now will you?" "Commander has invited me to lunch aboard his boat" "Ship" "Ship" "Now you accept,Virginia" "Last year in Jamaica we had dinner on a naval boat, and it was really something" "Even Adele couldn't complain" "There you are,you see" "Go on" "So you accept it?" "Tell me what else I can do" "Why should I?" "I'm happy" "To Saturday" "We won't needing you this morning,Coldforth" "Very good,Madam" "There is a scarf in the pocket" "Your sister's of course" "Yes,you'd like her,she is very nice" "Sure" "What sort of a boat,pardon me, ship are we going on,destroyer?" "No" "Cruiser?" "No" "No,don't tell me it is a submarine" "No Promise you that" "We've arrived" "I might have guessed,your ship" "I've a good mind to make you take me straight back to London" "No,can't do that" "I promised to give you a lunch" "If you don't want lunch on board we'll have it over there" "Then we go for a sail afterwards" "If you think I'm going for a sail in these clothes you are mistaken" "There is a pair of jeans and sweater on board" "Your sister's?" "Yes,one of my sisters" "You wouldn't happen to know what size she was,would you?" "She is about your size,I would think" "The food here is terribly good" "I wouldn't mind having you in my crew" "I don't think I care to join it" "But if you are afraid of my competence" "I can tell you I crew the Pelican when she won her class in Wakiki four years ago" "That would be before Charles's time,no doubt" "I suppose what you see in Charles is security" "Perhaps" "You are marrying for money in other words" "You talk as if I don't love Charles,I do" "Passionately" "Could get into dangerous waters" "I don't think there are any rocks around here" "I'm not talking about navigation or hazards" "Then we are talking about the same thing" "I was implying that I might be more of a matrimonial hazard if I were wealthy" "Which,fortunately,you are not" "Getting money is easy" "Most people find it very difficult,how would you go about getting money?" "How much do you want,50000£ 100000£?" "Don't let be too specific,just money" "We are going about" "In the first place,one has to have incentives" "Let's imagine you supplied me with that" "All right,let's imagine I have" "Go on" "It doesn't have to be pound sterling as russian roubles would do" "Certainly" "In that case I just sell some top secret through our friends across the bay?" "But you don't know any top secrets?" "Yes I do the admiralty is absolutely full of the right memorandum" "Then Charles and I come visit you in jail" "No,you see a file was disappearing from the Admiralty and they've assumed that I've taken it" "You?" "Have you?" "Let's bring the main closer" "And have you?" "No,I have hidden it" "Yes" "Then I go on leave and I disappear" "Just imagine them all at the Admiralty,can't you see it?" "Everybody jumping to conclusions" "The press would be on it in no time,digging up my news worthy past" "They'd have a field day" "In no time I'll be branded as a traitor" "Fascinating inside to your character but I still don't see how that helps you to get money" "Nor do I,really" "Yes I do" "I'll sue them for defamation of character" "The newspapers,they've just printed libellous statement about me they'd said terrible things, they'd ruin my career" "I could sue them for thousands, we'll collect a fortune" "There you are,simple" "We are going about" "You know,Max,that's quite an ingenious idea" "I told you it was easy" "I'd even now where I disappear to" "I'll be shipwrecked in this little tub" "How?" "Yes,out of coast of Scotland,Western Isles" "A little group of rocks called the Skerries" "I spent a leave sailing round there once, nobody goes anywhere near them" "Then you just turn up with a perfectly innocent explanation and collect" "Exactly" "That's not all" "What else?" "I marry you" "Do you?" "Fair is fair,you said you supplied the incentive" "What about saying,no thanks" "Would you?" "I certainly would" "Wouldn't have me for a husband?" "You can hardly be described as a catch" "I'll just see myself cooking your dinner and waiting for the phone to ring" "I'm sorry darling but the Admiralty want me to work late tonight" "Wondering what new sister you've found" "I'd reform" "You successfully spent the last twenty years avoiding it you are too old to change now" "You know the more we talk,the more Charles seems absolutely right for me" "Those squalls coming our right?" "I shouldn't be a bit surprised" "I think I shall have to sacrifice the old Shelldag after all" "Once she is safely at the bottom of the ocean" "I shall have enough money to sink Charles,steam you up in awe and then" "You'd actually go to all those lengths just for me?" "Certainly" "I do want to thank you for a lovely day" "It isn't finished yet" "To absent friends" "Better,not him,my sisters" "It's a very sad occasion I crowned on this afternoon" "You know Max,one of these days, somebody may take you seriously" "I hope so" "You'll take me home,Max" "Thank you" "This is not my door I live at 177" "I know that" "But when you get to the door you'll just say,Good Night Max thanks for the lovely evening, it's been lots of fun" "I can't bear the thought of not seeing you again" "Of course we will see each other again" "That's not what I mean" "Virginia" "Would you marry me?" "Do you realize what you are saying?" "I know that sounds strange and imbecilic before,that's probably why" "Will you?" "Thank you" "Drink?" "Thank you" "What about you?" "No thank you" "Max,I don't think we should see each other again" "It's not quite as simple as that" "No,please finish your drink, I'm sorry,it's not your fault or mine" "But please go" "Good Afternoon" "Do you speak English?" "A little" "I was with a British ship 2 months" "It's a very difficult" "Yes,I can imagine" "Do you speak English?" "Actually my friends don't,but I do" "How pity" "Eastman appears to had a few" "More I should say" "Would you like me a word with him,Sir?" "No,leave it,never seen him like this before" "He's been a bit under the weather the last few days,I have noticed it" "He is off for leave tomorrow,isn't he?" "Yes,ten days" "Good I suppose he'll go away somewhere,change would do him good" "Do you speak English?" "Not a word" "You're just the man I am looking for" "You mean you don't understand a word I'm saying?" "The banana a very strange fruit" "You see it is round and section very small" "It has a certain length,it's about that long,it's slightly curved" "A very good health,Sir" "This is made from potato,is it not?" "Not at all ,Sir,made from, uh, grain" "The overhead" "You mustn't look confused,that'll never do,I shall have to think" "Money,that's the thing" "Six pence" "Those operations belong to government the main distributors of that of course after a few of them you'll be very very jolly" "I think those foundation is well and truly laid" "Thank you very much,old boy" "You and that Russian fellow seems to speak as beams" "What exactly do you mean by that?" "I just said that you two seem to get along like a house on fire" ""I have decided to go.You leave me no alternative." "May the future bring us both better things.Max" "Will you post this letter for me,please?" "Certainly,Sir" "And cancel all deliveries till you hear from me,I'll be back on Monday a week" "Very good,Sir" "Hey,hey nobody lies on that rod" "Sorry,Sir" "Good Bye Max,enjoy yourself, have fun" "Don't worry" "I will" "You just sign that" "Thank you" "Thank you" "Havanna?" "No,no" "Good Morning,Commander" "Good Morning" "I thought you gone on leave" "I left a one or two things in my office" "Anyway it's Saturday,you know" "I know" "Miss Pryce" "Yes,Sir" "Have you seen "The world of Suzy Wong"?" "Wong?" "No" "A little paperback should be here,somewhere" "Just say one of the girls that swiped during the tea break" "I don't think that's likely,Commander" "It should be here,somewhere" "That is if you left it here" "Are you sure you didn't take it home with you?" "I know darn well I didn't take it home with me" "Then we'll find it" "Did either of you take " The world of Suzie Wong"?" "No,Sir,but I read it" "It must be somewhere here" "It's a yellow book with a chinese girl on the cover" "Haven't you got any work to do?" "Did you find it,Miss Pryce?" "Not yet,Sir" "It doesn't matter,it's not that important" "This where I shall be in case anyone wants to get in touch with me" "Captain Dalfour in Scotland" "Good Bye" "Good Bye,Sir" "Good Bye,Miss Pryce" "Good Bye,Commander,have a nice time" "We shall miss you" "She be all right for 10 or 20 minutes,won't she?" "As long as you are back by 12 I'll go for my lunch then" "Fine" "Won't be long" "Excuse me,could you tell me which is the "Karl Marx"?" "That's over there,Sir" "You have to get permission for the Harbour Control if you want go aboard,Sir" "I've no intention of going to Harbour Control" "I asked you a simple question all I wanted is a straight forward answer or is that asking too much?" "Can I see your pass,Sir" "My pass,is that all you can think of?" "May I ask why you want to go on board her?" "Did I say I wanted to go on board her?" "And anyway what business is it of yours" "Now look I am not here as an ornament,you know" "That is patently obvious" "Can I have your name?" "No,you cannot have my name" "I've a good mind to report you" "Forget it" "What do you make of that bird?" "What do I make of that?" "I'll soon fix him" "Get me the gate" "Charlie,who is that character in a bowler hat you let in just now?" "Late,thirties,good looking I suppose,well dressed la-di-da accent" "What?"

"Yes" "For their fiancées Norina and Rita of Muswell Hill" "A lower eye" "Darling,that's wonderful news, I do congratulate you" "First they didn't think I could play bridge well enough" "But you hate cards?" "That's wasn't the impression I gave our dear Lady Cynthia who btw is a congenital card shark" "Nevertheless than two trumps did I seek concealed in that area that fashion decree should be plunging" "I think that though from the point of view of concealing cards and concealing Cynthia would be preferable if our Ambassador's wife was not such a slave to fashion" "What about you has everybody been looking after you?" "Everyone has been very sweet" "Even Commander Easton took me under his wing" "He took me sailing" "And if I know our Max he made a pass at you" "He tried but I par him successfully" "I am so glad you are back" "I don't think we ever see Max Eastman again" "I got a little note from him yesterday I think it was in which he,well,sort of apologized for his behaviour and wished us the best of luck" "You know at least he has principles" "Your sleep service is ready when you want,Sir" "Thank you" "I couldn't really ask my father to come down to London he is over eighty you know, although you wouldn't think so" "Half the time he behaves like a retired eighty year old" "And then there is my sister coming out with her two little monsters" "Yelling children and animals all over the place" "I'm afraid our romantic village wedding in Scotland is going to be a bedlam,my poor darling" "I love it" "And anyway I'm not marrying them,marrying you" "I just want to see what it says about old Forrester" "You mean your friend in Switzerland?" "Good Heavens,they say he was forced to resign from the Embassy" "But it is true,he was" "Yes but they hushed it all up" "This is an outrage" "He ought to sue them" "It's funny you should say that" "Max Eastman had a rather amusing idea out of how to get money out of newspapers" "No,what was that?" "You know something about be very funny if he disappeared under highly suspicious circumstances and when they said enough terrible things about him suddenly reappear with perfectly innocent explanation and sue them for defamation" "That's wonderful,he ought to do it" "But you were expecting him?" "Yes,we were expecting him" "You didn't get any telegram or message or anything?" "No,nothing old boy,not a peep, never showed up" "But you know old Max,wish I could help you" "You see that's rather awkward, he over stayed his leave" "Would you get in touch with me if you hear anything from Commander Easton,I would be most grateful?" "Yes,certainly I'll do" "Thank you,Sir,Good bye" "I take your steam barging because we want to disturb him over his weekend" "He is not at home,Sir.He was due stay with some friends up North he never showed up" "Don't look so worried about,Bran,hold the forth" "Any calls for him put them through to me,I'll deal with them" "Surely he would have sent us a telegram or something if he was ill" "Should we report it?" "Start their Lordship flattering remember that" "I'll be looking after his work for a week,and believe me,Sub the pair of us went to Paris for a month, I don't anybody would notice it" "Stop worrying and relax" "Why was I not told about this before?" "You see,Sir" "I'm afraid it is my fault" "What right did you to interfere?" "It didn't seem to me to be of any importance" "He wanted to be seen in list in case he got into trouble,is that it?" "I know Eastman,it didn't seem very important" "Who are you to judge whether things are important enough you know perfectly well what the normal procedure is for an officer who overstays his leave" "Eastman is not in his flat, his car is not in his garage and he never reached the people he was intended to stay with" "For all we know the poor chap may have had an accident" "And you think you're doing him a favour with this childish covering up, Larkin you ought to know better" "Go down to the local police and ask them what has happened to Eastman" "That's all" "Don't seem right you coming with a warrant" "It is not if has done anything, you said so yourself" "I'll get into trouble,and you won't care,will you?" "Decided to go,you leave me no alternative" "When the future brings us both better things" "Where did you find this?" "In his desk when we went over his flat" "And you think it proves he's been blackmailed?" "No,it doesn't prove it but it does suggest it" "I can think of half a dozen other explanations" "He could be finishing off an affair with a girl" "It is just not the letter on its own" "It's the letter taken into conjunction with other things" "What other things?" "His bank balance was low" "At the end of the month,is not your bank balance low,mine is" "The fact is that he sold his car" "Could have bought another one,I don't know" "Anyway there is no crime sell a car" "How do you explain his behaviour at the Russian embassy 10 days ago?" "Vodka" "Why did he fail to turn up in Scotland, where he was expected on leave?" "I don't know,may have changed his mind" "Decided to go somewhere else, perhaps had an accident" "Strange it hasn't been reported" "You're policemen ,you've got suspicious mind" "It'll take more than this to convince me" "All right,Sir,we won't trouble you any more,for the moment" ""Sweden has already placed many large orders for many kind of consumer goods"" ""Cloudy weather with slight rain is expected in most Eastern districts tomorrow and in the West it will be warmer with light gale"" ""The time is now nine and a half minutes past one that is the end of the news but here is a police message"" ""The police is anxious to trace the whereabouts of Commander Max Easton RN."

"Perfectly reasonable statement" "If we refused to comment they would imply our refusal is an attempt to cover up something" "All right,say something then" "If we make some vague statement,Sir because we don't know all the facts it will be exaggerated beyond all recognition" "The press and the public have a genius for twisting things" "You might have seen to have granted, before Easton made a buck he was transferred to the RAF, give them a headache for a change" "We still have no definite proof,Sir" "The question in the House is definite enough" "Apart from a possible predilection for Kerry isles can somebody please explain to me why Eastman should disappear?"

"Did he have tight fisted lips with grey steely eyes?" "Not that I remember,and anyway we don't know that he is a traitor" "Ex submariner flees with file,it is obviously he sold atomic secrets to Russia" "What is that submariner?" "Someone who goes in a submarine,silly" "It doesn't say he went by submarine" "It doesn't even say that he has done it" "It does in my paper,uncle Charles" "That's quite enough,finish your breakfast" "You really are a child,Charles, of course he did it" "I happen to know.." "Well,he is very unlikely to have done it" "Of course,he is unlikely to have done it,darling that's why the Admiralty employed him" "Finish Charles?"

"No,I don't mean thinking you may be drowned,I mean thinking you might have" "You know" "Sort of.." "Thinking I might have what,Sir?" "You know" "Behave badly,I mean you know what people are" "You mean people might have thought that I had done something dishonourable and then" "Cleared out?" "No,not exactly" "They tend to think that you'd" "Gone over to the other side" "The other side?" "The other side of what,Sir?" "You know,I mean" "Politically" "No" "Yes they did" "But who was it who thought this?" "More than one person,all of them really" "All of them?" "But not the Admiralty,Sir?" "We fought against it,of course but eventually,the evidence" "Evidence.What evidence?" "It seems trivial now but at the time it was hard to go against the tide of popular opinion" "But haven't you any faith?" "Faith,yes.But I'm afraid our faith was not strong enough" "You must have known that I wouldn't do a thing like that?" "I did know,at least I should have known" "But you see there was a file missing,and the you behaved so strangely at the embassy" "And then you'll be seen in Liverpool" "I just popped ashore and send you a picture postcard" "Yes,I know" "But you see there was also this business about a file of yours,one of your files was missing" "One of my files?" "It dropped down behind a back of the cabinet,not even yours" "Of course there is a perfectly logical explanation to everything but at the time it all seemed to point to you" "Yes,yes" "I see that" "And now I suppose you want my resignation" "You resignation?" "Whatever for?" "I have been rather heavily tarred,haven't I?" "You've been completely vindicated" "But some of the mud the papers flourished should stick" "They live their world, they have to eat their words" "No,be realistic,Sir,my usefulness to the Admiralty is finished" "They've no right to cast against a perfectly innocent officer no right at all,they wry at you,they should be sued for defamation of character" "I couldn't do that,Sir" "Why not?" "You should have read some of those who said about you,makes your blood boil" "Really" "Absolutely,outrageous" "Surely the whole thing is best forgotten" "I don't agree at all" "You should make them suffer" "The only way to make the papers suffer is to make them pay,make them pay handsomely" "You really think I should do that?" "Definitely.Let them know" "They can't play fast and loose with an officer in the Royal Navy" "Everything is ready,Sir" "Oh,yes.Thank you,Jones" "Do you feel up to it now?" "Up to it?" "The press" "You mean I have to see them?" "Would be better,straight a word or two" "I don't think I could be polite to them" "I know how you must feel but remember these aren't the same fellows" "If you think I ought to" "Stout fellow" "What shall I tell them?" "Just tell them the truth" "Hello,darling,can I fix you a drink?" "Yes,please" "Looking for something?" "I was wondering if the evening newspapers was anywhere here" "Haven't you seen it?" "Not really important" "What sort of bottle?" "That's gin isn't it?" "No,I mean what sort of bottle did you put the SOS message in?" "SOS message?" "The one that rescued Easton from the Skerries" "It spread tonight on every front page in the country" "Virginia,this has gone too far" "You knew a long way where he was,didn't you?" "I didn't know,sort of had a hunch" "Because he sort of mentioned it" "In a way" "According to one report the bottle was found by a small boy" "So when you've taken the car out and you've supposed be having your hair done you were actually turning some innocent little schoolboy into a juvenile delinquent" "No,Charles I saw this little boy on the beach and I told him that I thought the bottle was a crab and by the time he found the crab was a bottle I wasn't there" "Just answer me one question,that's all I ask" "Why in heavens name did you do it?" "Somebody had to bring him back,you said so yourself" "Yes,but do you realize what you have done?" "You've become an accessory to what obviously is going to be a gigantic fraud" "But I can only say it is going to take all of my influence to keep your name out of it" "Fortunately I think I can do this if I catch the train to London tonight" "Of course the whole thing is criminal that why we felt it had to be brought to your notice" "He mustn't be allowed to get away with it" "How can you be certain of this, if I may ask,Sir Charles" "We have our sources of information as you do" "Which you rather not disclose?" "I understand,Sir" "One small point" "I would appreciate if my name was kept out of this rather unfortunate business" "I think that can be arranged,Sir Charles" "Thank you" "You put a fine show,Easton shouldn't be at all surprised if thanks to you, our recruiting figures are up this month" "It was little else I could do,Sir" "Fine effort.You are going to be a rich man by the look of it" "They haven't a leg to stand on, it's an open and shut case" "You mark my word I would only be too pleased to settle out of court" "And that in spite of leave wouldn't coming here , Sir,we'll have to see what we can do" "Thank you,Sir" "Jolly good" "See you out,will you Bates" "Yes,Sir" "Lucky fellow this time" "Only three weeks" "Only three weeks for three weeks to be able to be away from this place,I go to the North Pole" "I'm sorry about the fishing line,John" "I'll buy you another" "That's what I am afraid of" "You can choose yourself" "Can I?" "It's the least I can do for you" "Have you any idea what a rod can set you back?" "Come in" "You choose I pay" "Captain Graham would like to see you before you go" "Thank you" "Good I forgot you are in the money now too" "He probably wants you to guarantee his bank account" "You know you couldn't have it better if you planned it yourself" "See you characters in three weeks" "Good Bye,Sir" "Bye.So long Max" "I wonder if they do gold mounted fishing rods" "You wanted to see me,Sir?" "Yes,come in,Easton,you remember,Gregson?" "Yes,of course I caused you a lot of unnecessary inconvenience,I'm afraid" "Easton,Gregson here made a very disquieting accusation" "Really,Sir?" "Yes,he says he has reasons to believe that you planned the whole thing" "What whole thing,Sir?" "He says you planned to disappear so you could sue the newspapers" "Sue the newspapers?" "But with respect,Sir,you remember, that was your idea" "That's true" "It was.Easton was dead against it" "There we are,straight forward enough" "Well,Commander,what do you say?" "I could only say that this accusation takes me by completely by surprise" "I can quite believe that" "You see,Sir,I think that the bottle which enabled us to rescue you, was planted by an accomplice on land" "What on earth are you talking about" "Do you still maintain,Commander, that you threw the bottle into the sea?" "Certainly" "Then of course you know what kind of a bottle it was" "And you will be sure to remember the contents of the message,the actual wording" "What sort of a bottle was it,Commander?" "Tell him,Easton" "Then we can settle this ridiculous matter once and for all" "Excuse me" "Well,Commander" "I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea" "I thought not,Sir" "You see,I am afraid I don't know which bottle was picked up" "I must have thrown in at least half a dozen" "At various times" "Different messages of course" "I was in a pretty desperate situation" "I can imagine that" "You had several bottles available?" "Bottles are typical on the sorts of islets you find on the West Coast of Scotland" "Surely you don't think he put in one bottle and rely on that one being picked up?" "Be too much of a coincidence" "Hello" "Graham?" "Yes" "We made up the statement" "Good" "You like to see it?" "Fine.I'll come up right away" "Foreign relations is putting out a final statement about you,Eastman" "That should put an end to all this nonsense" "Your informant must be someone with a very peculiar sense of humour or someone with a grudge against him,excuse me" "You know I really did think to start with that you had gone to Russia" "I'd staked everything I had on it" "Really?" "Strange everything you did seemed to point to all this" "The long arm of.." "Coincidence" "Coincidence" "Then I changed my mind" "Probably just another case of fraud,an unusual one, mind" "Usually it someone trying to swindle an insurance company" "You thought I was try to swindle the press?" "How could anyone with integrity do anything like that?" "I mean that would be dishonest" "Wouldn't it?" "Exactly,Commander" "So you see what silly ideas, you can get sometimes" "You are back among us now and no one is worse off that's the main thing" "Good Bye,Commander" "Good Bye,Sir" "Good Bye" "Hello,Virginia" "I suppose you expect me to fall into your arms" "I wouldn't rather worry" "Knowing you I am sure you wouldn't" "All right,I want it" "Going away?" "Yes,as a matter of fact I'm going back to the States there is nothing more to keep me in London" "I see" "What do you want,Max?" "I want to thank you among other things" "You may not know it but you saved my life" "Obviously that was a mistake" "You can't have felt that way when you put the message in the bottle" "That was a mistake too" "Virginia,why did you have me rescued?" "I don't know" "I wish I hadn't,I wish I never sat eyes on you you are like a dangerous drug, if one isn't careful one can become an addict and I don't want to be an addict,so I wish you go,Max" "Good Bye" "Hello,darling,Clare told me you caught the morning train,had a good trip?" "I think you'll find that my trip was thoroughly worthwhile making" "I handled the situation rather well I think,you see they'll keep us out of it" "Good Evening,Charles" "Good Evening" "I'd appreciate,Eastman, if you left this house at once" "I don't want any unpleasantness here" "I suggest you go and get yourself your arrested somewhere else" "So that's how you handle the situation,Charles,that's despicable" "You are a stool pigeon, even crooks don't do that" "I don't propose to discuss with you the rather curious ethics of American gangster doom" "And as for you,Eastman,I think you'll be lucky if you get away with 5 years" "For what?" "For fraud.For attempting to hoax the public and try to swindle the news papers" "You are going to get everything you deserve" "You get publicity,all right, but it won't be the sort you're expecting" "Some of the less reputable news papers will no doubt,print the story of your life in prison" ""How I learnt to sew mailbags"" "Fascinating reading,they won't pay very much,of course by the time you come out you'll need every penny you lay hands on" "What a wonderful vivid imagination you got,Charles" "It was no figment of the imagination that has an accomplice who should be named as,for obvious reasons, planted the bottle that exposed you" "They always say that crooks slip up on some minor detail and I am glad to see that you are not exception to the rules and in your case was the bottle" "Which bottle?" "You may well ask,you never saw it" "Yes,but which one?" "There are lots of bottles now" "Funny enough half a dozen turned up on this afternoon" "I shouldn't be surprised if they start popping up all over the place from now on" "This is true?" "Virginia?" "Is this true?" "Virginia,did you plant more than one bottle?" "You do have silly questions, Charles,of course I did" "Do you realize what that means?" "Yes,I do,Charles,I'm terribly sorry that's why I thought it might be better if I went home for a while" "I know you'd never understand why I did it,and I really can't explain" "Don't you see this man is a thief" "He means to sue the newspapers" "What on earth gave you that idea?" "They acted in good faith,I couldn't possibly do a thing like that" "At least I could,I am too honest that's my trouble" "The trouble with you,Eastman, you have no principles" "A quality I find singularly unattractive" "I emphasize the singular because I seem to be alone in this view" "Charles" "One of the hardest lessons in life is to learn to accept defeat gracefully" "Charles,I'm sorry" "I haven't learnt it yet" "I thought you handled that very well" "Good Bye,Max" "I don't feel saying Good Bye" "Good Bye,Max" "You're always saying,Good Bye Max" "Seemed inappropriate last time and seems even more inappropriate now" "Nothing has changed you have been to all these lengths with all these troubles for nothing" "Not nothing for you" "Nothing has changed,Max" "Yes it has,I'm famous ,I'm going to be rich" "So you are going to sue them,I thought for once you were telling the truth" "Was.Of course I'm not going suing" "But you say you are going to be rich?" "We,darling,Charles has giving us a wedding present wonderful idea,the more I think about it the better it seems" "I am going to sell my story,the true story,to the highest bidder" "The true story?" "How you planned it all?" "And laid all those red herrings?" "And pretended to be a.." "No,don't be silly,darling,the true story how I miraculously survived without food or water after that terrible shipwreck" "The true story" "I'll probably get even more than if I sued them" "Now nobody could called that dishonest,could they?" "You are the most outrageous person" "The best people always are" "You are dishonest,deceitful, untrustworthy,unscrupulous" "Yes,dear" "Unprincipled,rascal,rogue,rake" "Scoundrel?" "A scoundrel" "A snake" "dishonest" "We had that one,dear" "Unreliable,untrustworthy but I love you" "Subtitles by Seglora"
