:32:03
You're looking very well, Leslie.
:32:05
Well, this is a wonderful place to rest.
:32:08
Well, it's only five days more.
:32:10
I know. Every morning when I wake up,
I say, "One less."

:32:13
Just like I used to when I was in school
with the holidays coming.

:32:17
Don't feel sorry for me.
The time has passed very quickly.

:32:20
Done a good deal of reading,
and I've worked on my lace.

:32:24
It's Robert I'm worried about.
:32:26
He's taking it terribly hard.
:32:29
Poor darling.
:32:30
He's much more anxious about you
than you seem to be about yourself.

:32:34
Well, Howard, I must confess to you...
:32:36
...I'm not looking forward to testifying
in court.

:32:40
One thing that's impressed me
is that every time you've told your story...

:32:44
...you've told it in exactly the same words.
You've never varied a hairsbreadth.

:32:48
And what does that suggest
to your legal mind?

:32:51
Well, it suggests either that you have
an extraordinary memory....

:32:55
Or?
:32:57
Or that you're telling the plain,
unvarnished truth.

:32:59
I'm afraid I have a very poor memory.
:33:04
I suppose I'm right in thinking that you
had no communication with Hammond...

:33:08
-...for several weeks before the catastrophe.
-I'm positive of that.

:33:11
The last time I saw him was at
a tennis party at the McFarrens' .

:33:15
Don't suppose I said more than two
words to him.

:33:17
They have two courts, you know,
and we played different sets.

:33:20
-And you hadn't written to him?
-Oh, no.

:33:23
Well, at one time you were on
fairly intimate terms with him.

:33:28
How did it happen that you stopped
asking him to anything?

:33:31
Well, we didn't have much in common,
and he's very popular, you know.

:33:35
A lot of calls upon his time, and...
:33:37
...well, I didn't see the necessity
of showering him with invitations.

:33:41
You're quite certain that was all?
:33:45
Well, I may as well tell you....
:33:48
We heard about his wife.
:33:51
And once, quite by chance,
I actually saw her.

:33:54
Oh?
You never mentioned that.

:33:57
-What was she like?
-Horrible.

:33:59
She was all covered with gold chains
and bracelets and spangles...
