I'm going to the country for a weekend with my brother.
You better take this along, Don. It's going to be cold on the farm.

:14:06
Hello, Mr. Birnam.
Happy to have you back with the organization.

:14:09
Hello, Gloria.
:14:10
I wish I could take you along, Nat.
You...and all that goes with you.

:14:15
Not that I'm cutting myself off from civilization altogether.
:14:23
Now of course there arises the problem
of transportation into the country.

:14:27
How to smuggle these two time bombs past the royal guard.
:14:30
I'll roll one bottle in a copy of the Saturday Evening Post,
so my brother can discover it like that.

:14:35
And I want him to discover it,
because that'll set his mind at ease.

:14:38
The other bottle...Come here.
:14:40
That one I'm tucking into my brother's suitcase.
:14:43
He shall transport it himself,
without knowing it, of course.

:14:47
Then, while he's greeting the caretaker,
I'll slide it out

:14:51
and hide it in a hollow of the old apple tree.
:14:55
Aw, Mr. Birnam, why don't you lay off
the stuff for a while?

:14:58
Well, I may never touch it
while I'm there. Not a drop.

:15:01
What you don't understand, all you you...
:15:02
is that I've got to know it's around.
That I can have it if I need it..

:15:06
I can't be cut off completely. That's the devil.
That's what drives you crazy

:15:09
Yeah. I know. I know a lot of guys like that.
:15:11
They take a bottle and put it on the shelf.
:15:14
All they want is just to look at it.
:15:15
They won't even carry a corkscrew along,
just to make sure.

:15:18
Then, all of a sudden...
:15:19
they grab the bottle and bite off the neck.
:15:23
Nat, one more reproving word
and I shall consult our lawyer about a divorce.

:15:27
Now don't forget, quarter of six.
My brother must find me home, ready and packed.

:15:34
Shall we dance?
:15:37
- You're awfully pretty, Mr. Birnam.
- I bet you tell that to all the boys.

:15:42
Why, natch. Only with you it's on the level.
:15:45
- Yeah. Sit down.
- No thanks. Thanks a lot, but no thanks.

:15:49
- There's somebody waiting.
- Him?

:15:52
I bet he wears arch supporters.
:15:54
Oh. He's just an old friend of the folks.
Lovely gentleman.

:15:57
He buys me dimpled Scotch.
:15:59
He sould buy you Indian rubies,
and a villa in Calcutta overlooking the Ganges.
