:34:00
getting tickets for that new musical,
what's it called?
:34:04
- You know.
- ''Something'' with what's-her-name?
:34:07
My dear Mrs Atwater,
careful application of the trigger finger
:34:11
and a pair of seats in the first row
is yours for the shooting.
:34:14
And have you had any difficulty getting
into our velvet rope restaurants?
:34:18
- Frightful!
- A very simple matter.
:34:20
A flick of the knife, madam,
:34:22
and if you'll kindly step this way -
:34:24
Oh, no, step over the head waiter's body.
:34:28
Thank you, and here's your table.
:34:30
(Janet laughing)
Rupert, you're the end.
:34:32
(Kenneth) There's a hotel clerk
l could cheerfully flick a knife at.
:34:35
Oh, no, sorry. Knives may not
be used on hotel employees.
:34:39
They are in the
''death by slow torture'' category,
:34:43
along with bird lovers,
small children and tap-dancers.
:34:47
Landlords, of course, are another matter.
You seeking an apartment?
:34:51
Call on our Miss Sash Weight
:34:53
of the blunt instrument department.
:34:55
What a divine idea!
:34:58
If it suits your purpose, merely...
:35:01
- But we'd all be murdering each other.
- Oh no. Oh no.
:35:05
After all, murder is, or should be, an art.
:35:10
Not one of the seven lively, perhaps,
but an art, nevertheless.
:35:13
As such, the privilege of
committing it should be reserved
:35:17
for those few who
are really superior individuals.
:35:21
And the victims - inferior beings
whose lives are unimportant anyway.
:35:25
(Rupert) Obviously.
:35:26
Now mind you,
l don't hold with the extremists
:35:28
who feel there should be open season
for murder all year round.
:35:31
No, personally, I would prefer to have...
:35:35
''Cut a Throat Week.''
:35:37
Or ''Strangulation Day.''
:35:41
Probably a symptom
of approaching senility,
:35:43
but I must confess I really don't
appreciate this morbid humour.
:35:47
- The humour was unintentional.
- You're not serious about these theories.
:35:51
(Brandon) - Of course he is.
- You're both pulling my leg.
:35:53
No. Why do you think that?
:35:54
The notion that murder is an art
which superior beings should practice -
:35:59
(Rupert) ln season!
