:22:04
it's always mixed up with humour.
:22:06
It's the humour that
gives the edge to the horror.
:22:10
The humour makes you feel safe.
:22:12
After having been slightly scared,
:22:14
you feel very safe and you're laughing,
:22:17
and then, bang, there's
something there that hits you.
:22:21
I know what you are, really.
:22:24
You're a detective.
:22:26
There's something the matter,
and you're a detective.
:22:28
- Charlie, listen.
- I don't want to listen.
:22:31
(Boyle) He once said
if he got in trouble with a scene,
:22:34
he would always try to think
of a good dirty joke,
:22:37
because a dirty joke
had a pertect construction.
:22:41
It had a beginning, a middle, and an end.
:22:44
And it's true. (Chuckles)
:22:47
He loved, uh... He loved
that kind of succinct storytelling.
:22:52
If I brought you some mushrooms,
would you eat them, Joe?
:22:54
I suppose I would. Why?
:22:56
Then I've got it. You see?
:22:59
The worst I'd be accused of would be
manslaughter. Doubt if I'd get that.
:23:03
Accidental death, pure and simple.
:23:05
A basket of good mushrooms and...
:23:08
two or three poisonous ones.
:23:10
(Wright) Then as far as the Hume
Cronyn and Henry Travers characters,
:23:14
Charlie had heard him tell
these stories and murders
:23:17
and how to kill people hundreds
of times and it never bothered her,
:23:21
but to hear these same stories
:23:24
when she's now terrified of this man
:23:27
and wondering
how she's going to deal with it,
:23:30
and to have these two men there
talking about ways to kill people...
:23:34
A bathtub.
:23:36
Pull the legs out from under you,
hold you down.
:23:39
It's been done, but it's still good.
:23:41
(Charlie)
Oh, what's the matter with you two?
:23:44
Do you always have to talk
about killing people?
:23:47
(Cronyn) I had a scene
at the dining table with Teresa Wright.
:23:50
She said something to me.
:23:52
I was shocked and offended, and
I stood up and stepped back from her.
:23:56
And, uh, Hitch said, um,
:23:59
"That's fine, Hume,
but when you stand up
