:28:06
- You were joking, of course.
- Joking? Indeed, I was not.
:28:10
Oh, then I am not joking
when I tell you
:28:12
that if you persist
in joining our profession,
:28:16
your wisest course is to register
at once for unemployment pay.
:28:20
That will not be necessary.
I am of independent means.
:28:27
- Dear lady, I didn't finish.
- You made your view quite clear.
:28:31
No, no, no. I was about to say that
your performance had great merit.
:28:35
Your choice of material let you down.
:28:37
Yes, definitely duchess parts,
regal roles.
:28:41
I see you with other material
performing like an angel.
:28:45
Angel?
:28:47
Is not that the term for
a backer of theatrical enterprises?
:28:51
Droll, very droll.
:28:54
I meant that you have a lot
to offer the theatre, Mrs Marble.
:28:57
- Miss Marple!
- I'm delighted to hear that.
:29:01
The marital knot is often the bolt on
the door to the room at the top.
:29:06
Do I take it you are offering
me employment, Mr Cosgood?
:29:09
Well, as to that,
not exactly employment.
:29:12
I was thinking rather along
the lines of an apprenticeship.
:29:16
Unpaid?
:29:18
Well, in a word, yes.
:29:22
I accept.
:29:23
Splendid, splendid.
Welcome to the Cosgood Players.
:29:27
Well, now as to lodgings,
:29:29
I prefer to live
cheek by jowl with my colleagues.
:29:32
Naturally. We're at Westward Ho,
Prescott Street.
:29:35
Mrs Harris is an excellent landlady.
:29:38
Good, well, I'll just pick up my
baggage at the YMCA. Au revoir.
:29:45
- Cosgood...
- Drunk again!
:29:47
Now look here, George...
:29:58
This man is not drunk, Mr Cosgood.
He's dead.
