:17:21
Oh, Mr. Hennesey. It's you.
:17:23
Whatever happened to you,
my darling?
:17:26
- You look like you've seen the dead.
- I have.
:17:30
In that case, come inside.
Tell me about it.
:17:32
We'll have a nice hot cup of tea.
:17:39
But it was so real. And that warning
about the murder was so sinister.
:17:43
Well, my darling, Gloria,
people just don't drop dead in cinemas,
:17:46
watching horror movies
and whispering, "Look out for the elf."
:17:50
It was, "Beware of the dwarf."
:17:53
Well, whatever.
He was playing a prank, that lad.
:17:57
So you shouldn't take it
so seriously.
:17:59
- Well, he did act rather strangely.
- Well, you see?
:18:03
So you don't think I should
call the police?
:18:04
The police? Whatever for?
:18:07
I don't know.
I just have this strange feeling
:18:10
that somebody's trying to kill me.
:18:13
To kill yous? Well, you gonna
call the police and tell them
:18:17
that you have a strange feeling?
:18:19
I mean, they got killings of their own
to worry about, you know?
:18:23
You're probably right.
:18:24
They have killings and executions
and assassinations.
:18:29
I think it's time we made
"murder" a four-letter word.
:18:33
- Would you have a cookie?
- OK.
:18:38
- They're good.
- Aren't they?
:18:40
Well, when you've been an
anthropologist as long as I have,
:18:43
you're working most of the time
in the field.
:18:45
You acquire what my old father
used to call "culinary expertise".
:18:50
I remember in Africa, in Kenya,
:18:55
I was studying the lbutu tribe,
fascinating society,
:18:59
and we could take a leaf from
their book, if they had books.
