: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,

:37:02
happy invention;
:37:05
to face out its emptiness...
:37:09
and its terrors by playing.
:37:13
By just playing.
:37:18
Haven't you forgotten
the jumped-up pantry boy...

:37:20
who doesn't know his place ?
:37:23
We are from different worlds,
you and me, Andrew.

:37:26
In mine, there was no time...
:37:28
for bright fancies and happy inventions.
:37:32
No stopping for tea.
:37:35
The only game we played was to survive...
:37:39
or go to the wall.
:37:41
If you didn't win, you just didn't finish.
:37:44
Loser lose all.
:37:49
You probably don't understand that.
:37:51
Understand or not, nothing
you've said disproves my point.

:37:54
Look at the way you chose to get back at me--
by playing Inspector Doppler.

:37:59
Simple revenge.
