Say, what does that
X stand for, eccentric?

1:03:04
Let me ask you something, my dear.
Do you find me repulsive?

1:03:10
No, not at all. You're rather nice-looking,
for a lord your age.

1:03:14
Thank you. You see,
my wife, Lady X, she does.

1:03:17
- Does what?
- Finds me repulsive.

1:03:19
Ignores me completely. Spends
all of her time cultivating the garden.

1:03:23
And what's worse...
cultivating the gardener.

1:03:27
- The gardener?
- The other day I was watching them...

1:03:30
...from the turret of the castle.
1:03:32
They were in the flower bed together...
1:03:35
...and he was pruning her begonias.
- They oughta be ashamed.

1:03:40
Yes, and it was such a jolly marriage,
those first few years.

1:03:44
We'd sit in front of the fire and play
double solitaire and Chinese chequers.

1:03:51
Solitaire? I play solitaire.
1:03:53
Capital! Could we?
1:03:55
That is, uh, would you? I mean, shall we?
1:03:59
I don't care, as long as
you're paying for my time.

1:04:02
Don't worry about the money.
You take the red, I'll take the blue, hm?

1:04:05
I once knew a gentleman and all he'd
do is scatter some marbles on the floor...

1:04:10
...and make me
pick them up with my toes.

1:04:12
How odd.
1:04:15
- I never played double solitaire before.
- We play off on each other's aces, hm?

1:04:27
The rain in Spain stays
mainly in the plain, you know.

1:04:30
- No, I didn't know.
- Hm, it's a fact.

1:04:33
That's where I met my wife,
in Spain, in the rain, in the plain.

1:04:38
I was stationed in Gibraltar.
1:04:42
- Your wife, Lady X, is she beautiful?
- Very, and very passionate.

1:04:45
So I can't really blame her.
1:04:48
You see, I came back
from the war a shattered man.

1:04:52
- I was wondering about your eye.
- Oh, bit of detached retina.

1:04:56
Happened at Navarone. Those beastly
guns popping off all the time.
