- Darling, what are we doing tonight?
- We're going to Isobel's to dine.
2:13:12
What a bore.
2:13:29
Issie, let's get back
to that new book of yours.
2:13:32
The fellow comes into the room, locks it,
and starts to strum on the piano...
2:13:38
then somebody shoots him
through the locked door? That the idea?
2:13:43
That doesn't make sense. Why would he
lock the door just to play the piano?
2:13:47
Was he ashamed of his playing?
2:13:49
I arranged it this way.
2:13:51
A certain note on the piano was wired to
a revolver concealed in the wall paneling.
2:13:56
When the victim struck this note...
There you are.
2:14:01
I don't care much for that.
You're slipping, old girl.
2:14:04
- What's wrong with it, my dear chap?
- That's too complicated.
2:14:08
If you're going to kill somebody,
do it simply.
2:14:11
Am I right, Dr. Sedbusk?
2:14:13
You're right.
Just as long as you don't get caught.
2:14:17
- Do the wine, will you?
- Yes, Issie.
2:14:21
How would you do it simply?
2:14:23
I don't know, dear.
I'd use the most obvious method.
2:14:27
The most important thing
is that no one should suspect me.
2:14:30
- For instance?
- For instance, poison.
2:14:35
Just use the first one
that came to my mind. Say, arsenic.
2:14:40
Arsenic.
2:14:42
I remember...
2:14:45
in Gloucester, where
we exhumed the body four years after...
2:14:50
there was still enough poison,
even in the fingernails and the hair.
2:14:55
Yes, but did you get the murderer?
