:13:00
and I've had a very great deal...
:13:02
of not-altogether-innocent fun.
:13:10
Is there nothing you would
not consider a game, sir ?

:13:13
Duty ? Work ? Even marriage ?
:13:16
Oh, please, Inspector !
Don't include marriage.

:13:18
Sex-- sex is the game, marriage the penalty.
:13:24
Round and round we jog towards
each futile anniversary,

:13:27
pass "go,"
:13:29
collect 200 rows, 200 silences,
:13:33
200 scars in the deep places.
:13:35
Are you saying, sir, that because
of your indifference to your wife,

:13:39
you had no motive for murdering Mr. Tindle ?
:13:42
I'm simply saying, Inspector,
that in common with most men,

:13:45
I want to have my cookie and ignore it.
:13:47
It was rather witty, I thought.
:13:50
And what have we here, sir ?
:13:53
That's just an old dressing-up basket,
that's all.

:13:57
A traditional place...
:13:59
of concealment, I'm sure you'll agree.
:14:03
Only of the identity, Inspector.
:14:07
The game.
:14:09
Shall we go ?
:14:13
- Shall we go ?
- Oh, yes, sir.

:14:16
Coming.
:14:22
Anyway, I thought I'd teach
young master Tindle...

:14:26
a lesson for his presumption,
test his mettle, as it were.

:14:29
You may not agree with this,
Inspector, but take it from me:

:14:32
the shortest way to a man's heart
is through humiliation.

:14:34
You'll soon find out what he's made of.
:14:36
Oh. And, uh, how did you plan to
go about this humiliation, sir ?

:14:41
To begin with, by convincing him...
:14:43
that as my wife had expensive tastes,
and he was virtually a pauper,

:14:47
and he could solve that problem by
stealing some valuable jewelry,

:14:51
which I had in my safe.
:14:57
I further persuaded him to take off
his clothes and wear a disguise.
