1:06:02
though I now hold
Hungarian citizenship.
1:06:05
Unfortunately, the first letter
of your married signature
1:06:08
has been almost obliterated
by a grease spot.
1:06:14
I must say, I find immigration officials
are often less than cleanly. They...
1:06:18
They sit in their little box,
eating a buttered roll with one hand
1:06:20
and stamping the spilt butter
into your passport with the other.
1:06:23
Precisely. Therefore,
I would be greatly obliged
1:06:27
if you could duplicate
the mutilated entry of your passport
1:06:32
there.
1:06:37
Elena Andrenyi née Grunwald.
1:06:53
Allowing for the difference in pens,
the duplication seems exact.
1:06:59
There would be little point, then,
in asking
1:07:01
whether this handkerchief is yours?
1:07:05
Since it contains neither of my initials,
no point whatsoever, monsieur.
1:07:09
And even less point in asking
the color of your dressing gown?
1:07:14
None, unless monsieur takes
a professional interest in apricot silk?
1:07:19
I take a professional interest
in crime, madame.
1:07:22
Have you and your husband
ever visited America together?
1:07:25
No. We first met in Wiesbaden...
1:07:28
...much later.
- Later than what?
1:07:30
Later than the days of my youth,
when I was on post in Washington.
1:07:34
You lived in Washington?
1:07:35
Oh, what diplomat of promise has not?
1:07:39
You did not sleep well last night?
1:07:42
On the contrary, apart from one of
Mrs. Hubbard's customary outbursts,
1:07:46
I slept very soundly.
1:07:48
- And you, madame?
- Oh, even more soundly.
1:07:51
We, neither of us, woke till after 8.
1:07:54
As is my custom on night trains,
I took Trional.
1:07:57
Diethyl-sulphone-dimethyl-methane.
1:07:59
One dilutes the white crystals
with water, it is a strong hypnotic.
