Here you will notice, as advertised
in our discussion earlier on today,
:40:10
the opening, a series of
interestingly photographed
:40:13
establishing shots.
:40:15
And here, the boy and the girl,
:40:19
if a middle-aged mysterious stranger
can indeed be called a boy, meet.
:40:24
You're not middle-aged, Mr Benson.
:40:26
In fact, I think you're remarkably
well preserved.
:40:29
As chilling a compliment as
I've ever received, Miss Simpson.
:40:33
However, to continue,
pages eight, nine,
:40:37
ten of romantic chitchat.
:40:40
- Which you do so brilliantly.
- Why, thank you.
:40:43
Now you can feel the unconscious
attraction between the two,
:40:47
the tremulous beginnings of love.
:40:52
You see how easy it is
with professional know-how
:40:56
and experience on your side?
:40:59
Miss Simpson,
I don't think you realise this,
:41:03
but a writer's life
is a terribly lonely one.
:41:08
- Mr Benson.
- Hmm?
:41:12
Have you any idea at all
what happens next?
:41:16
Do you, Miss Simpson,
have any idea what will happen?
:41:21
Well...
:41:26
We've got to remember
that no matter how charming he seems,
:41:30
he is a liar and a thief.
It says so right here.
:41:34
Mr Benson...
:41:44
I do know what happens next.
:41:47
What happens next
is the second switch.
:41:50
The audience gasps as they realise
they have been fooled.
:41:54
He has plied her with martinis,
white wine, red wine, brandy,
:41:58
for only one reason.
To make her drunk!
