:44:03
squinting his eyesight away, and for what ?
:44:08
To give me an education at
a second-rate public school.
:44:13
I suppose he thought he had to,
that he owed it to me...
:44:18
And the brand-new anglo-saxon
world he'd adopted.
:44:24
Silly old bugger.
Never thought his son...
:44:27
would be tucking a fortune
away into his pocket then.
:44:31
Family reminiscence,
no matter how touching,
:44:33
is something we just haven't got time
for at the moment, do you mind ?
:44:42
Now, this is the fun bit,
where the householder,
:44:44
wrenched from his dreams
by the sound of the explosion,
:44:47
surprises the burglar, and,
in the ensuing fight,
:44:50
the house is sacked.
:44:51
Why is it necessary for you
to surprise me at all ?
:44:55
Because, if I've seen you at close quarters,
I can always describe you to the Police.
:44:59
Wrongly.
:45:02
"Did you get a good look at
the intruder's face, sir ?"
:45:04
"Yes, Inspector, I did.
:45:06
I don't know if it was a trick of the
light, but somehow his face seemed...
:45:10
not wholly human--"
- How much sacking do you want done ?
:45:12
Oh, a decent bit, I think--
a few chairs upturned,
:45:15
ornaments put to the sword,
that sort of thing, you know.
:45:17
Convincing but not carthaginian.
:45:29
Surely you don't call that convincing.
:45:32
Milo.
:45:41
Let literature fly to the four winds !
:45:45
Let the contents of drawers
be strewn like autumn leaves !
