:52:02
Another one ? No, it's the same one.
We've been playing it all evening.
:52:06
It's called
"you're going to die, and
no one will suspect murder."
:52:12
You mean all that steal-the-jewels
stuff was just--
:52:16
I invited you round here to set up
the circumstances of your own death:
:52:20
the break-in, the disguise,
jewels in your pocket,
:52:24
the householder aroused,
grappling with the thief...
:52:27
and gun going off during the struggle,
and then,
:52:30
the final, fatal shot.
:52:33
Knock it off, Andrew, for God's sake.
:52:36
- It ain't funny no more.
- It ain't, ain't it ?
:52:39
- Can you find a flaw in it ?
- Marguerite.
:52:42
- The cops'll trace the connection
between Marguerite and me.
- What nonsense.
:52:45
They'll know that's why you did it.
:52:47
How was I expected to know who you were ?
The law will have every sympathy for me.
:52:50
Property's always been more highly
regarded in England than people.
:52:53
Even Marguerite will assume that
you were, after all, just an
adventurer after her jewels,
:52:57
a petty sneak thief who, in the end, found
larceny less burdensome than matrimony.
:53:03
The way you're finding murder
less burdensome than alimony ?
:53:07
Ha ! Wit in the face of adversity !
Good !
:53:10
You've learned something from the English.
:53:12
Oh, and here's something else--
a sporting chance. Why don't
you make a run for it ?
:53:15
And give you the chance to
shoot me down in cold blood ?
:53:17
Hotblood, you mean.
But I'll tell you what I'll do.
:53:19
I'll close my eyes and
count up to 20 slowly.
:53:22
That should give you a reasonable
chance. Come on, Milo. Off you go.
:53:25
One--
:53:27
One, two,
:53:31
three, four,
:53:34
five, six,
:53:38
seven, eight,
:53:40
nine, ten,
:53:43
eleven, twelve,
:53:46
thirteen, fourteen, fifteen,
:53:51
sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,
:53:56
nineteen and twenty.
