:32:00
And criminals are used
to having people not trust them,

:32:03
as you are not trusted by me,
:32:04
so I can clearly not choose
the wine in front of you.

:32:07
Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
:32:09
Wait till I get going!
Where was I?

:32:12
- Australia.
- Yes, Australia.

:32:13
And you must have suspected
I would have known the powder's origin,

:32:17
so I can clearly not choose
the wine in front of me.

:32:19
- You're just stalling now.
- You'd like to think that, wouldn't you?

:32:23
You've beaten my giant,
which means you're exceptionally strong.

:32:26
So, you could have put the poison
in your own goblet,

:32:28
trusting on your strength to save you.
:32:30
So I can clearly not choose
the wine in front of you.

:32:33
But, you've also bested my Spaniard,
which means you must have studied.

:32:36
And in studying, you must have learned
that man is mortal

:32:40
so you would have put the poison
as far from yourself as possible,

:32:43
so I can clearly not choose
the wine in front of me.

:32:46
You're trying to trick me into
giving away something. It won't work.

:32:49
It has worked. You've given everything away.
I know where the poison is.

:32:52
Then make your choice.
:32:54
I will. And I choose...
What in the world can that be?

:32:57
What? Where?
I don't see anything.

:33:02
Oh, I could have sworn
I saw something. No matter.

:33:08
What's so funny?
:33:10
I'll tell you in a minute.
First, let's drink:

:33:13
me from my glass,
and you from yours.

:33:31
You guessed wrong.
:33:32
You only think I guessed wrong.
That's what's so funny!

:33:35
I switched glasses when your back
was turned. You fool!

:33:39
You fell victim to one
of the classic blunders.

:33:41
The most famous is:
"Never get involved
in a land war in Asia."

:33:45
But only slightly
less well known is this:

:33:47
"Never go in against a Sicilian
when death is on the line."
