:35:01
You didn't do that yourself, did you ?
:35:03
I am a hairdresser, don't forget.
:35:06
I do have friends in the, uh, arts.
:35:12
I suppose you, uh, sneaked--
:35:14
slipped in here yesterday
while I was in Salisbury.

:35:16
- Yes.
- Dumped your clothes into my wardrobe...

:35:20
and sprinkled a little sacrificial
blood onto the bannisters, hmm ?

:35:25
It wasn't my blood, I know
you'll be relieved to hear.

:35:28
I got it from a pig's liver.
:35:31
I suppose you could've used
almost any dago wine.

:35:34
- Oh, I'll have that drink now.
- Of course.

:35:36
- Gin and tonic, I think.
- You richly deserve it, my dear fellow.

:35:39
Come along.
:35:43
You know, I haven't congratulated you yet...
:35:47
on your, uh, game.
:35:49
- Oh ?
- It was jolly good.

:35:51
You really think so ? Good.
:35:53
I must say, I was rather
delighted with it myself.

:35:55
I say, did you really think...
:35:58
your last moment on earth had come ?
:36:00
Yes.
:36:02
You're not cross, are you ?
:36:06
Cross ? I don't understand.
:36:08
That's one of your words.
:36:10
Look, as I explained to you,
when you were playing Doppler,

:36:15
I had to test your mettle
to see if, as I suspected,

:36:18
you really were my sort of person.
:36:21
A games-playing sort of person ?
:36:24
- Exactly !
- And am I ?

:36:27
There's no question about it.
:36:29
Compare your experience this weekend,
:36:32
my dear Milo, with any
other moments in your life.

:36:35
Now, if you're honest with yourself,
you'll have to admit...

:36:37
that you lived more intensely in
my company than in anybody else's.

:36:40
Now, even with Marguerite.
:36:44
Now, we know what it is
to play a game, you and I.

:36:49
That's so rare.
:36:51
Two people brought together,
:36:53
equally matched, having the courage...
:36:56
and the talents...
:36:58
to make of life a continuing
charade of bright fancies,
