Put these in water, blabbermouth!
Come on in, Carter.

:04:11
Look at this room.
It's ugly, old and musty.

:04:15
But I never knew
I could miss anything so much.

:04:19
- Missed you too, you musty old buzzard.
- Oh, thank you, sir.

:04:22
I'm not a religious man, but when they
carted you off, I went out and lit a candle.

:04:27
- Why, thank you, Carter.
- Actually, sir, I was lighting it for myself.

:04:30
If anything happened to you,
what would happen to me, after 37 years?

:04:34
37 years! Has it been all that long?
:04:37
Yes, sir. This is 1952, that was in October
1915. The Shepherd's Bush murder.

:04:42
The chemist accused of putting
cyanide in his uncle's toothpaste.

:04:47
My first murder trial.
I was more frightened than the defendant.

:04:52
First time I rose to make an objection,
my wig fell off. Where's my wig?

:04:57
Right here.
:05:00
- I've guarded it with me life.
- I hope it still fits.

:05:04
I lost 30lbs in that wretched hospital.
:05:07
Still, I suppose my head isn't any smaller.
:05:15
What's all this?
:05:17
- We've put it in mothballs.
- Mothballs? Am I not to practise again?

:05:22
Of course. The solicitors
have been breaking down our doors.

:05:25
- I've got some interesting briefs for you.
- That's better.

:05:29
Divorce case, a tax appeal,
and an important marine insurance claim.

:05:33
- Nice smooth matters with excellent fees.
- No, Carter.

:05:37
I'm sorry, but you're not to undertake
any criminal cases. Your doctors have...

:05:41
Doctors! They've deprived me of alcohol,
tobacco, female companionship.

:05:45
If only they'd let me do
something worthwhile!

:05:48
Sorry, sir.
:05:49
Might as well get a bigger box,
more mothballs, put me away too.

:05:53
- 2.30, Sir Wilfrid. Time for our little nap!
- Oh, get out!

:05:57
Beddy-bye. We'd better go upstairs now,
get undressed and lie down.
