:50:03
Come in.
:50:06
I want to talk to you,
Dr. Mercheson.
:50:09
It's rather late,
and you need rest, Constance.
:50:12
I must talk to you.
:50:13
Nocturnal conferences
are bad for the nerves.
:50:16
- Is it something about work?
- Yes.
:50:18
- Can't it wait till morning?
- It can't wait.
:50:22
Do sit down.
:50:26
Now, what's your problem?
:50:30
It's a dream one of my patients
reported...
:50:33
- May I ask who the patient is?
- The patient is John Balentine.
:50:38
I fancied that.
:50:41
You're still working
on the possibility of his innocence?
:50:44
Charming loyalty, one of your most
attractive characteristics.
:50:50
What did he dream?
:50:51
That he was in a gambling house, full
of people playing with blank cards...
:50:57
Blank cards? Obviously he was trying
to deny it was a gambling house.
:51:05
One person went around cutting
the drapes in half...
:51:08
another was a scantily dressed girl
who was kissing everybody...
:51:12
With a little imagination one could
imagine them inmates of Green Manors.
:51:15
That's what I had in mind.
:51:19
Interesting notion to play around
with, do go on.
:51:25
There were eyes painted on
the curtains around the walls.
:51:29
Oh, the guards at Green Manors.
:51:32
The patient was playing cards,
no longer blank...
:51:36
a game of 21 with a bearded man,
who was evidently Dr. Edwardes...
:51:40
Yes, one usually dreams of one's
analyst with a beard.
:51:43
He dealt Edwardes the 7 of clubs, and
Edwardes said, "That makes it 21".
:51:49
I'd say the patient was trying
to mention a locale...
:51:53
- The 7 of clubs might mean a club.
- Yes, with the word 21 in it.
:51:58
There is such a place in New York,
it's called the 21 Club.
