"How much do you want?" "Solitaire?" "A girl like you?" "Go right ahead and cheat." "I won't tell anybody." "It's not solitaire." "I see - you're reading." "Which one is the most beautiful?" "This one." "Is that you?" "Will you leave me alone?" "No." "I would like to know which one is mine." " This one?" " No." "It's not your card." "Don't touch them!" " Hello, Angela." " Hello." "This is Maurice." "There, I introduced you old buddy." "Now, go have a drink on me." "If you insist." "You can finish." "There's no hurry." "What's in the cards?" "The cards say that I'm going to spend the night with a man." "That's right." "The cards said "money", right?" "I'll follow you." "As you wish." "If you please..." "We're going this way." "'52 Rolls." "The best year, the best model." "You mean Coco didn't tell you?" "Tell me what?" "That I'm not the one who pays." "It's alright now." "Come!" "Out!" "Sit down." "Aren't you going to sit down?" "How old are you?" "I'd rather have vodka." "How old are you?" "What does it matter?" "It matters to me." "23." "Some ice?" "Yes, please." "What's your name?" "Angela!" "Why all these questions?" "This is a friendly conversation, isn't it?" "Thank you." "English?" "American." "Can I have another one?" "Help yourself." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Why do you ask?" "This way." "Come here." "I said, come here." "You told me you are 23." "I believe you." "You like her." "Who?" "That little whore." "Don't be a clown." "Notice the way she looked at you when we left the room?" "Suppose I do like her?" "Nothing." "You can think what you like." "Yes sir?" "Right away." "She's leaving." "She's leaving?" "Angela, wait a minute!" "Here - take it." "Take it." "It doesn't matter if the client wasn't me, does it?" "Besides, we can take care of that." "Right?" " Turn it off!" " Let her have her music." "I'll tell you something about that girl last night, Mark." "What's that, sir?" "She has a body." "But she damn sure wasn't a professional." "I've never brought you a professional, sir." "If you had a body like hers, Natalie..." "Jealous?" "Of her?" "Or of me?" "That's right." "Just go on detesting me." "Both of you." "It's very simple, really." "You detest me because I'm paying you more than anyone else would." "And that forces you to put up with me." "By the way, are you two still making it together?" "Oh, Natalie the coffee is cold." "Rosa, I think Zasha has a fever." " Take care of her today." " Yes, madam." " You'll be back tomorrow afternoon?" " At 6." "Do you need anything from town?" "I'll be here to pick you up." "Hello!" "Your commission." "Okay?" "Listen, what happened with that girl last night?" "Why do you ask?" "She must be something." "She was here this morning." "Snooty to me." "Maurice was here and paid for her breakfast." "She left with him." " This is on you." " Okay." "You don't know her?" "First time I saw her was when she came in last night." "Said she was waiting for a money order." "Same old sob story." "I bought her a drink, and told her how she could do herself some good." " And all the thanks I get!" " Sorry." "Not this time." "Your client didn't make it with the boss." "This must be my lucky day." "Hold it." "Quiet." "That's it." "Good." "Just perfect!" "Wonderful!" "Feel alright?" "You can wash over there." "Mark!" "What do you want?" "Now just a minute..." "What's the matter, Maurice?" "Don't you trust me?" "Talk to you a minute?" "Can I?" "Yes, of course." "But we were going to have lunch together." "Look, I posed for you." "Now all I want is some money." "Okay." "But this isn't anything compared to what this pimp can get for you!" "Why am I always running after you?" "Here - take it." "Thanks." "Ciao." "Wait." "I came to tell you something." "Last night I... wished it had been me." "Have a nice trip!" "You too!" "Mark!" "Yes, sir?" "Wake up." "You've got to leave." "Yes, you do!" "If the maid finds you here..." "More gray hairs." "Am I right?" "You look fine, sir." "You're a great ass kisser." "You know how to lie." "Ready, sir!" " How's that?" " You're in great shape, sir." "Breakfast?" "No." "Let's see what else I can hit this morning." "The canary?" "Right, sir." "Good." "Tell me something, Mark." "That bird the other night - her name was Angela?" "I don't know, sir." "The nightingale." "Bring her back!" "But she's gone." "She probably left town." "Then find her." "Don't talk money." "And don't use Coco." "Just invite her for the weekend." "No strings." "You understand?" "Right. sir." "Why not?" "Imagine...the whole weekend together." "Together...with him." "This is him, and this is me." "Here's you." "That is you." "Now, he can't see anything." "You don't know him." "I'll tell him you left town again, okay?" "Comfortable?" "Yes, very." "Natalie..." "Sir?" "Get the guest room ready." "Very well." "Thank you, Mark." "For what?" "Don't you know?" "Angela tells me that you were ready to drag her back." "The young lady must be joking." "It was hardly necessary." "...And then I went to California." "I was there for a year." "Painting backgrounds for movie cartoons." " I got tired of that." " And then?" "Then I met this guy who wanted to take me to New york on roller skates." "He was crazy, but lots of fun." "So I went with him." "Did you make it?" "No." "We got married in Oklahoma City and gave it up." "You are married?" "I was for 15 days." "You got tired of him?" "No." "Just sort of ran out of gas." "He got a job and wanted to save money." "And after the divorce, what did you do?" "Peace Corps." "South America." "It was exciting, but it didn't last." "And then?" "And then, England." "I was on King's Road for a few months, just having fun." "Then someone gave me my motorbike and my freedom." "Switzerland, Germany, France." "Now, here I am." "I am a lucky man it seems." "Why do you say that?" "Your motorbike could easily have taken you somewhere else." "You're nuts!" "I had to come." "I had to talk to you." " You should have waited at the hotel." " The cards changed my mind." "You and your cards!" " Who is it?" " The housekeeper, madam." "Just a minute!" "Excuse me, please." "I'm about to retire." "I thought you might need something." "No, just... privacy." "She was looking for me." "I should have told you before." "It happened a few months ago." "One evening, I hit the bottle and..." "So now, she thinks that I'm her private property." "Natalie has problems." "Don't laugh at my cards." "You don't understand, it's not a good idea." " Why don't you set her straight?" " Are you kidding?" "If she goes to the boss, I'll be out on my ass!" "So... we'll go away together." "Go away?" "Where?" "I would lose you, and all this." "All this?" "All this what?" "This house, the car, the yacht." "I don't have any special training, Angela." "He we can live like we could never live anywhere else." "What difference does it make if we can't be together?" "Do you know what you are?" "You are an opportunist." "And you?" "Me?" "I love you." "If you stop ringing that bell, do you think he'd find his way back to the yacht?" " Do you think he would find land?" " Yes, the sun tells him." "Don't you?" " Is he?" " Yes, I know him." "He never treats anyone the way he treats you." " Is it cold?" " Not at all." "Why don't you try it?" "I like it where I am." " Want to go fishing?" " No." "Sir..." "Why are you so embarrassed?" "About what?" "The color of your eyes." "I mean," "I've never seen you without your glasses." "My glasses!" "Give then to me!" "Mark!" "We are going home!" "Yes, sir." "Angela..." "Do you want me to leave?" "They are brown." "You have forgiven me." "I lost my temper." "Do me a favor, try to light it with your eyes closed." "It's hard." "Just a little trick to help me forget that I am blind." "I don't like people to remind me." "I know." "Ever since i can remember, people have been to darn nice to me!" "Or they have some contempt!" "I don't need their sympathy." "Or their contempt." "You understand?" "Yes." "Of course, I understand." "Angela... please stay." "Sir." "You take care of them as if they were a treasure." "They are to me." "I keep them wrapped in silk in that cedar box." "Cedar?" "Best kind of wood for them." " You trust them?" " Of course I do." "Would you let me try?" "I really shouldn't." "A woman." "That must be you." "A man." "That must be me." "Why look!" "This means marriage!" "First there has to be a card that means love." "I know you're not in love with me." "That's not important now." "Love will come later." "Oh, see!" "Here it is!" "I don't want to lose you." "Why?" "I've been lying to him long enough." "I know." "I know!" "We take your bike and we... and we take off." "No, Angela." "This isn't good." "Then what are we gonna do, you big lug?" " I've been thinking..." " You've been thinking?" "Marry him." "You don;t love me." "On the contrary, I love you very much." "That's why I think you'd better marry him." "We love each other, sure." "But without money, you and me..." "Don't you realize that? Let me go!" "Let me go!" "Listen, I'm only thinking of you." "If you want, I'll stop seeing you." "You won't have to deceive him." "I'll do anything you want." "I don't love him." "I love you." "But if you don't love him, you can cheat on him." "Listen, suppose you were already married to him." "Tell me the truth, don't you think you would cheat on him?" "Oh, Mark!" "I don't know." "I don't know." "I just don't want to lose you." "You're not going to lose me." "Do you, Arthur, take this woman to be your wife?" "To have and hold from this day forward, for better or for worse;" "for richer or for poorer;" "in sickness and in health;" "to love and to cherish until death do you part?" "I do." "And do you, Angela take this man to be your husband to have and hold from this day forward for better or for worse;" "for richer or for poorer;" "in sickness and in health to love and to cherish until death do you part?" "I do." "The ring please." "By the powers vested in me," "I hereby pronounce you man and wife." "You may kiss the bride." "Angela." "This is very good." "Who did it?" "A sculptor in the village." "His name is Maurice Caron." "There's a note with it." "Want me to read it to you?" ""A wedding present from an incurable romantic." "To a woman who knows what she's after."" "Signed, Maurice." "To whom was the package sent?" "To your wife, naturally." "Then why did you bring it to me?" "Because in spite of everything, my loyalty belongs to you." "Arthur, she hates me." "I can't believe that." "It was just an accident." "Is that what she told you?" "Some accident." "I could have used that." "It would have been nice to keep my wigs in shape." " Get rid of her!" " But my dear," "We need her." "It will be difficult to find a housekeeper as good as her." "But I'm here now!" "We don't need her." "I disagree." "Then you have no confidence in me!" "We shouldn't quarrel on our wedding night." "I know." "Just...give me a little time." "Of course." "Have you lost your mind?" "I can't!" "I can't go through with it!" "Don't you understand?" "You're married to me, not to him." "For better or for worse." "Better or for worse." "Arthur..." " This is Mr. Caron." " Have you brought what I ordered?" "Indeed!" "There are 6?" "Yes, sir." "Now you've got 6 of them for your wigs." "Happy now?" "Yes, Arthur." "Thank you." "The note." "Did you happen to write it?" "Yes, I did." "Eat it!" "You're not deaf, old buddy." "The boss said eat it, and goddamn it, you will." "He ate it, sir." "He is a gentleman." "Buy him a drink." "Where are you supposed to be?" "At the beauty shop." "He believes you, doesn't he?" "I don't like cheating him." "He's good to me." "We're married, you and I. Aren't we?" "We're really married." "We have money too." "Do you love me, really love me?" "What did you want, Marc?" "I brought you something, sir." " I don't recognize it." " It's a new variety." "I spent all morning looking for it in the nurseries." " All morning?" " Yes, sir." "Why?" "Don't you remember, sir?" "We need a new signpost for you in the living room." "Where?" "Near the table where Madam plays with her cards." "You think of everything, Marc." "Thank you, sir." "Marc!" "What are you doing?" "My cards." "You really love them, do you?" "You called me?" "I left my cigar case upstairs." " Marc?" " Oh, yes sir." "Your cigar case." "Right away." "Go on, tell me my fortune." " You don't believe in them." " Maybe I do." "Come on!" "Tell me what's in the cards." "Okay, but you have to be serious." "I promise." "Now, I shuffle the cards." "You concentrate on the question you want the cards to answer." "With this hand, cut the cards three times to the left." " One, two, three." " Alright." "All these put them here." "All these, here." " What are you doing now?" " Laying out the cards." "The cards mean different things depending on where they fall, and who they're with." "There's water." "A voyage." "What did you say?" "A long journey by water." "Is that my fortune?" "Is that what you read?" "Or what you want?" "That's what I read." "I've never been happier than I am now." "In this house." "You may go, Marc." "Go on!" "There's a woman in your home." "She's... no longer young." "Wait a minute." "That's all." "The cards haven't got much to say today." "Go on." "Really, it's nothing serious." "They're not making sense." "Go on." "There's suffering." "An accident." "Disgrace." "Death?" "Why are you so upset?" "We all must die one day." "Don't you agree?" "Were you at the harbor yesterday?" "Why?" "Well, I got something for you." "I don't like being watched." "Worries you, does it?" "It does." "I worry about you." "I can take care of myself." "Don't be silly." "None of your old movies, please!" "I want you to lay out a suit for me." "Are we going into town?" "I am." "With Natalie." "I want to buy a gift for my wife." "Natalie can advise me better than you." "Yes, sir." "Of course she can." "Stop here." "I've changed my mind." " We're not going?" " I'm not." "You are." "Pick out something nice for madam." " And charge it." " Such as what?" "Anything!" " Are you sure you'll be alright?" " Of course, I'm sure." "Go on!" " You're running my bath?" " Certainly, madam!" " But I'm hungry!" " One moment." " Give it to me." "I'll take it." " Okay." "Your breakfast." "He's gone to town." "He won't be back before lunch." "Put me down!" "You're going to be so sorry for that!" "Next time I'll tell him that I've gone to the dentist." "Maybe he needs another operation on his eyes." "That's a great idea!" "We'd have days together, weeks maybe." "He can never regain his sight." "Arthur!" "I thought you'd gone to town." "I came back." "I didn't like to leave you alone, my dear." "Why?" "I don't know." "Perhaps I was worried about you." "You said there was death in the cards." "I didn't mean that!" "I've never loved anyone before." "I don't want to lose you." "Don't be silly!" "You'll never die!" "Never?" "Well... At least not before you, my love." " No!" " You won't suffer." "You knew I loved her!" "You darn swine!" "And you had to..." "Both of you were so sure you fooled me!" "No, stop it!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Stop it, stop it!" "Stop it, stop it!" "No, Marc!" "No, Marc!" "Stop it!" "Will you shut up!" "Will you listen to me?" "Shut up!" "Shut up!" "Clean that up while I get rid of these!" "I told you he would try to kill us, remember?" "Run downstairs and keep Rosa busy." "Don't let her out of the kitchen." "Fix your face." "Look!" "The car!" "Natalie's back!" "You have to keep her busy too." "You're not supposed to know that they were going to town." "You just gotta..." "Get me?" "Get me?" "Good morning, madam!" "Good morning." "I want to talk to you and Rosa." "Will you turn that off, please?" "Good morning, Rosa." "Can we have some coffee, please?" "You just got up, madam?" "Where's the boss?" "I don't know." "I guess he's in the swimming pool." "Please, listen to me both of you." "My arrival in this house was... unusual to say the least." "Sit down." "I realize that I may have caused some problems, but" "I did marry the boss." "And, even thought I may be hard to get to know," "we do have to live in the same house together, don't we?" "Don't we?" "Yes, of course." "But..." "Well, as far as I can see we can't go on this way." "That's all." "Just what are you trying to say?" "We will be better off if we try to be friends." "You must be joking, madam." "I could never be your friend." "If you will excuse me now, I really must be on my way." "But madam, you asked for coffee." "It's cold." "Arthur?" "Alright." "You were here waxing the alley?" "Yes, sir." " You didn't hear anything?" " Yes, a splash of water in the pool." "And, afterward?" "Nothing at all." "Until the maid screamed." " Was he in the habit of swimming alone?" " No." " He wasn't." " No, I was usually with him." "But, sometimes...he insisted on getting around by himself." "Poor child." "She has suffered so much." "These things happen." "Seems so unfair." "I'll take good care of her, doctor." "She's asleep." "I gave her a sedative." "We don't need to trouble her." " You say you've worked here for 12 years." " That's right." " Did the deceased suffer from epileptic seizures?" " No." " Moods of depression?" " No." "There is such a thing as swimmer's cramp." "It's my job to ask these questions!" "Yes, of course." " How long had they been married?" " I don't know." " Has it been two weeks?" " Two weeks and 3 days." " If you need anything I can help." " Leave her alone!" "But Marc, for how long?" "We can't afford to rush." "You know that." "But we have each other." "And if we have his money..." "I don't want it." "Not like this." "Baby, we have our live to live!" "He was old and blind!" "You look a little insecure." "Both of you." "Maybe you'd better sit down." "Didn't you hear me?" "I said, sit down!" "This is your chair." "Marc, the wine please." "You know, I couldn't understand why he left his glasses in the bath tub." "Then I found this!" "Lucky, weren't you?" "The water stopped it." "So no damage to the tub." "Of course, I found his clothes in the closet." "I left them there." "But it seems rather strange that they were wet." "He never wore his clothes when he took a bath." "Is Madam feeling better?" "Oh, it's a little too soon but she will." "If I can do anything..." "Madam appreciates that I am sure, but from now on she can rely on two good friends." "Why didn't you tell the police?" "Two reasons: one, I hated Arthur." " And your 2nd reason?" " What do you think?" "If she hadn't butted in, the whole estate would have been mine." "But as it is now, now I want exactly half of everything!" "You'd better go hold her hand." "Don't be silly!" "Cut it out!" "What are we going to do?" "Don't you know?" "No." "No, Marc." "No more!" "No,no,no!" "No more, please!" "Please." "No more." "Is there any other way?" "There's got to be." "There's got to be!" "When will you be finished digging?" " Late this afternoon." " Okay." "What's going on?" "They're planting a palm tree." "A gift of mine to Angela." "You've really got it for her, don't you?" "She's something very special." "Don't you think so?" "You know what she said to me on the way back from the cemetery?" "What?" "She said, "I didn't like the way you treated Maurice." "He's an artist."" "Nice." "Do you think she would go out with me?" "Why not?" "She's all alone and bored." "She doesn't know anybody." " Would you talk to her for me?" " No, man." "I've given up pimping for Lent." "You better see CoCo." "But if I were you, I would talk to her myself." "Maybe you're right." "I could do that." " You owe me something." " Yes, pimp!" "Hello?" "I'll see if she's in." "Who's calling, please?" "One moment." "Hello." " It's for you madam." "Mr. Maurice Caron." " Put him on." "Hi!" "That's great!" "I'd love to." "Super!" "What time?" "Angela!" "Angela!" "She's not here!" "Where is she?" "I didn't know you cared." "A friend of yours came by to pick her up." " Is that so?" " Don't give me that!" "You care alright!" "It was Maurice." "Was it?" "Yes it was." "What's more," "I overheard their conversation on the phone." " He called her for a date, you know." " Did he?" "Come off it!" "Do you want me to repeat what he was saying to her?" "I'd hang up if anyone talked to me like that!" "I wouldn't go out with him!" "He's a square!" "You've got to be kidding!" "She agreed to pose for him tonight." "And I don't mean her head." "She practically asked for it!" "Okay, let's go!" "But if you're lying... you'll be sorry!" "Me?" "Why should I go?" "This is your problem!" "Now, it's ours." "You see..." "No, Natalie." "No, Natalie, no." "I'm sorry this mask doesn't smile." "Ladies and gentlemen, we have here the Great Natalie!" "Sure, they were here." "Just long enough for her to leave the door open." "Did you really think that we would give you half of Arthur's money?" "Don't you know that blackmailers are very poor insurance risks?" "Why did you bring me here?" "Well, it's like this..." "I do good work." "Rosa thinks you've gone away on vacation." "You decided very suddenly." "She doesn't know that it will be a very long vacation." "But you'll be close by." "I fixed you a special place to stay." "A place that has a very pretty palm tree on the premises." "Just this afternoon, I fixed it up for you." "Your little gift to Angela?" "Sorry about this." "Very sorry." "Marc, no!" "You'll never get away with this!" "I think I will!" "No Marc!" "Remember the good times we had?" "You bitch!" " When will you come back to my studio?" " I don't know." "Maybe next week." "I'll call you." "To pose for me." "You promised, you know." "I know." "I'll call you." "I had a wonderful time." "Marc!" "Marc!" "Marc!" "Marc!" "Marc, where are you?" "He's not here." "Where is he?" "Where both of you wanted to send me." "My inheritance from Arthur." "I didn't want to do it." "I had to." "You didn't kill him, I did!" "For better or worse, we're in this together now." " You understand that, don't you?" " I did it!" "It was me!" "I killed him!" " Announce us to Madam, please." " One moment." "They are here!" "The police!" "Ask them to wait." "I'll see them." "Remember one thing:" "you fired Marc last night." "Is that clear?" "You fired Marc last night!" "I did it." "I did it." "Good morning, ladies." "I'm afraid I have a warrant for your arrest, madam." "The charge is murder." "I killed him!" "You wish to confess?" "That may wise." "It will go easier on you." "There's something you must tell us:" "the name of your accomplice." "We know you couldn't have possibly done this by yourself." "It was both of us." "But you...you!" "She must be mad!" "She doesn't know what she's saying!" "Compose yourself, please." "We know you were his mistress." "That had nothing to do with it." "There's just one thing that needs to be cleared up." "Yours?" "A sample of the tissue of your husband's lungs has been examined." "Our lab reports traces of this oil in it." "You drowned him." "You drowned him in the bathtub." "Isn't that right?" "That's what happened!" "But I wasn't there!" "It as she and..." "Go on!" "She and..." "After you drowned him, the two of you took him to the pool." "Then you attempted to create an alibi by having coffee in the kitchen." "By the way, where's the man-servant?" "The chauffer?" "He left last night." "He worked for my husband." "I didn't need him anymore." "It would have been nice." "You're wrong inspector." "That's not why she's crying." "Come on." "Let's go!"
