:10:03
"Killed" Tindle, sir ?
I never mentioned the word "kill."
:10:06
Oh, come now, Inspector.
You can't pull that old one on me.
:10:11
"Garroted, sir. May I ask how you knew...
:10:13
her ladyship had been garroted ?"
:10:15
"You told me so, Inspector."
"No, sir.
:10:17
I never mentioned the word 'garroted.'"
:10:21
I'm sorry you find us so comic, sir.
:10:24
On the whole, what we do is necessary.
:10:26
"You're just doing your job"
is the overworked phrase, isn't it ?
:10:29
Possibly, sir. Very possibly.
:10:31
"The overworked phrase." I like that.
:10:34
Your wife and Mr. Tindle have been
associating closely for some time, sir.
:10:38
Yes, I thought you'd know about that.
:10:40
- You can't keep anything
quiet in a small village.
- Perfectly true, sir.
:10:45
You're not suggesting a crime passionnel,
I do hope.
:10:48
Not with Marguerite. Oh, God !
:10:50
That would be like knifing somebody...
:10:52
for the sake of a tablespoon
full of cold rice pudding.
:10:55
I'm very partial to rice pudding, sir.
:10:58
I find it a great standby.
:11:00
That's perfect.
:11:02
"'All of you had either the means,
motive or opportunity,'
:11:06
"said Inspector Doppler,
as he thoughtfully digested...
:11:08
"another spoonful of his favorite pud.
:11:10
'But only one of you had all three !'"
:11:13
Exactly so, sir, and that person is you.
:11:17
That is divine.
:11:21
Well, I suppose I'd better
tell you what happened.
:11:23
- That would be helpful, sir.
- Perhaps another drink would be helpful too.
:11:26
I'd love another drink, sir, but I think
you'll find that the bottle is empty.
:11:30
Quite right, Inspector.
:11:32
That too can be corrected.
Do come with me, won't you ?
:11:36
Now, as you seem to know,
:11:37
Tindle was having an affair with my wife.
:11:40
Now, I belong to that rare breed of men...
:11:42
who genuinely don't mind losing gracefully...
:11:44
to a gentleman who plays
the game by the same rules.
:11:47
But to be worsted by a flash,
crypto-italian lover boy...
:11:50
who mistakes my indifference for inadequacy...
:11:53
is altogether too much !
:11:55
You mean, you couldn't bring yourself
to accept the situation, sir ?
:11:58
Is that what you're saying ?
- I mean,
