: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.
:30:11
Poisoned.
:30:13
Poisoned?
:30:16
Poisoned.
:30:18
Arsenic, I'd say.
The autopsy will prove it.
:30:21
Nonsense! He drank too much. It's
as plain as the nose on his face.
:30:24
You say you were on the stage when he
came out from the dressing rooms?
:30:29
Yes, Inspector.
:30:30
The curtain is due up in ten minutes
and I now have two roles to play.
:30:34
There'll be no curtain up today.
:30:36
My audience will tear the place up!
:30:38
We'll risk that.
I've got questions to ask.
:30:41
- Questions? What about?
- A man is dead - it's usual.
:30:44
Damned inconvenient.
:30:46
- His dressing room?
- Number two.
:30:48
Can't you get George off
the stage and come back later?
:30:51
No, sir. Number two, you said?
:30:55
- I knew something would happen.
- Really, miss?
:30:59
Yes, I have premonitions
about these things!
