00:30If I was rich, you beautiful thing, I'd have you.

01:00Max, you are a fool.

01:23Having a good time, Vicky?

01:28Red.

01:30I want you to have a good time.

01:34Always.

01:35Why, the two in Thrapenese, Edward.

01:37You can see just as well in the one in Sixpenese.

01:39Well, I just thought that it was...

01:41No, Edward, darling, that's just what you don't do.

01:44Think.

01:46Money doesn't grow on trees, you know.

01:49The farther back, the better, I say.

01:58Good night, Vienna.

02:02The one in Sixpenese would have been just as good.

02:05A good smell of fire.

02:08A heart of living through the trees that you play.

02:13From dawn to the daylight, night.

02:20Good night, Vienna.

02:23Where moonlight fills the air.

02:27Good night, Edward.

02:28No more.

02:29Finally.

02:30I don't know how Herbert can afford a motorbike who works in the same office as you.

02:44H.P.

02:45Typical.

02:46Oh, but more than a lot of people get things on high purchase.

02:47A lot of people doing something silly doesn't make it sensible.

02:48No.

02:49Life isn't like the cinema, Edward.

02:50No.

02:51Bill knew the moment was his.

02:52Oh, no.

02:53Bill knew the moment was his.

02:54Oh, no.

02:55No.

02:56No.

02:57No.

02:58No.

02:59No.

03:00No.

03:01No.

03:02No.

03:03No.

03:04No.

03:05No.

03:06No.

03:07No.

03:08No.

03:09No.

03:10No.

03:11No.

03:12No.

03:13No.

03:14No.

03:15No.

03:16No.

03:17No.

03:18No.

03:19No.

03:20No.

03:21No.

03:22No.

03:23No.

03:24No.

03:25No.

03:26No.

03:29No.

03:30What?

03:32What?

03:33What when the help of a night started,k premak one,kалась,

03:34before again?

03:35No.

03:36Herbert, what do you think of Maud?

03:59Very pretty, molto glamoroso.

04:02I mean, really.

04:03Well, she does sort of jump in a manner a bit.

04:08Meaning?

04:09Well, you know.

04:10Yes.

04:11She does a bit, doesn't she?

04:13But very pretty.

04:14And to see you two dance in the pally,

04:17all we clodhoppers just stop and stare.

04:20Absolutely ripping syncopation.

04:23She'll make you a marvellous wife.

04:26Look, help me with this before we have to go back to that dreary office.

04:30I ask you, who'd be a stockbroker?

04:33We would, given half a chance.

04:35Yeah.

04:37Anyway.

04:38Arrange the following girls' names in order of popularity.

04:42Oh, gosh.

04:43How are we expected to know that?

04:45Well, if I were you,

04:47I'd write them down in the reverse order of the way you think they ought to go,

04:51and then pray

04:53I don't see Maud down there.

04:56Oh, that's very funny.

04:57Ha, ha, ha.

04:58Elizabeth.

04:59Margaret.

05:00Herbert.

05:01Why does it know?

05:02You don't think it's true, do you?

05:05I don't think what's true.

05:07That girls turn out to be like their mothers.

05:11And how was the dancing last night?

05:17Not too bad.

05:18But they're putting up the price of admission next month.

05:21Well, I think I can afford it.

05:22I think we should make a stand.

05:24If we make a stand, we won't be able to dance, will we?

05:29Maud, would you go and put the kettle on?

05:32We should be wanting our tea soon.

05:34Yes, of course.

05:42Now, Edward.

05:43Now Maud's out of the room.

05:45I've simply got to know

05:48what exactly are your intentions?

05:51Intentions, Mrs. Livinglow?

05:53About what?

05:54Your intentions towards Maud, of course.

05:57But Mrs. Livinglow were engaged.

06:00To be married.

06:02So you say, Edward.

06:04And so Maud says.

06:06And yet I don't see an engagement ring on her finger.

06:10Oh, that.

06:12Well...

06:13Is it that you can't afford it?

06:14Oh, no.

06:15No, no, no.

06:16It's just that I haven't got around to it yet.

06:21You must understand, Edward, that if...

06:25Don't clutch the wool, dear.

06:27Sorry.

06:28Sorry.

06:29You must understand that if Mr. Livinglow were alive,

06:32he would be the one asking these questions.

06:34Oh, I do understand.

06:35But the fact is that Maud's always going on

06:37about being careful with money.

06:39And I must say that I agree...

06:40The fact is, Edward,

06:42that my daughter is engaged to be married

06:44and yet has no ring on her finger to...

06:47Well, how shall I put it?

06:48I won't say to advertise the fact,

06:51but to cement the relationship.

06:54I'll take care of it tomorrow, Mrs. Livinglow.

06:56Promise.

06:58There's a good boy.

07:02Ed.

07:04It's beautiful.

07:08Very good taste.

07:10But...

07:11But what?

07:14It must have cost a small fortune.

07:16Well, you wouldn't want a cheap engagement ring, would you?

07:18No, darling, of course not.

07:19I mean, I have a good job on the stock exchange.

07:20You're still only a red button.

07:22Yes, but I shall be a blue button next to you.

07:24Yes, darling, I know what I have.

07:26But it just doesn't do to be extravagant.

07:30Do you mean you want me to change it for something cheaper?

07:36I really wouldn't mind.

07:38I mean, I wouldn't want to feel guilty wearing it.

07:43Well...

07:45As a matter of fact,

07:47I was hoping we could have a short engagement.

07:49How short?

07:51I'd like us to be married early next year.

07:53Oh, Edward.

07:55That is sweet of you.

07:58But don't you think it would be more prudent

08:00to wait a bit longer?

08:02Why?

08:03We've already been engaged for three months.

08:05Yes, darling, I know that.

08:06But...

08:07Well, I know you're going to be a success.

08:10You'll probably be a partner in ten years.

08:13Ten years?

08:14But at the moment, your salary isn't that large.

08:21Now, sometimes I wonder whether you want to marry me at all.

08:24What?

08:25Or that you even love me.

08:26Edward, darling, you're just being silly.

08:29Because I try to be practical doesn't mean I don't love you.

08:33It could mean I love you more than you think.

08:38You see...

08:40You're a bit of a dreamer, aren't you, darling?

08:45Am I?

08:46All I'm saying is let's wait a bit till we marry.

08:50You'll see I'm right.

08:56Well, it's up to you, Maud, of course.

08:59And all right, I'll change the ring.

09:02Five hundred pounds?

09:06First prize.

09:07What for?

09:08That competition.

09:09You remember?

09:10Arrange the girls' names.

09:11Yes, yes.

09:12Well, I did what you said, and I won it.

09:13I've been bursting to tell you all morning,

09:15but old eyebrows never took his eyes off us.

09:17I see.

09:21Five hundred jolly old pounds.

09:24You're rich.

09:26I'm rich.

09:28Maud will marry you pronto now.

09:32Yes.

09:33Tell her you're invested in a gill-edged or conversion loan

09:36and she'll love you to distraction.

09:38She'll collapse in your arms.

09:39Yes, of course.

09:41A little nest egg for the future.

09:43Yes, I...

09:44I realise that's the sensible thing to do.

09:55Thank you very much.

09:57Arrange is very, very keen.

10:09She is the loveliest thing.

10:23What does Maud think about it?

10:25Well, actually, yeah.

10:28I haven't told her yet.

10:30What?

10:31Oh, my God.

10:34Just wait till she finds out.

10:37Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

10:38Well, I...

10:41I have to learn to drive it first.

11:56The moment has come, Edward, to tell you that there's more than one gear.

12:00I don't understand. Again?

12:03It's the New York Stock Exchange, you see.

12:06It's still not tickety-boo.

12:19Splendid.

12:21You're getting better every day.

12:23Now it's time to learn reverse.

12:25You mean, it goes backwards?

12:36I wish I knew why you were behaving like this.

12:39I'm trying to explain, Lord.

12:41It's the Cantangos, and so do one day.

12:43There's a lot of...

12:48Is there no one else in that office who can take any responsibility, Edward?

12:55You see? Driving is just a matter of confidence, experience.

13:10Well, thanks very much for helping, Herbert.

13:12It's a pleasure.

13:13So, when are you going to tell her?

13:15Her?

13:16Maud, I mean.

13:17Maud, yes.

13:18Well, I thought I'd tell her after Christmas.

13:21You mean you won't be going away?

13:23Away?

13:24Well, why should I?

13:25What?

13:26A spanking new car, a nice long holiday, and you're going to loll around in Maud's place,

13:29with mother in attendance.

13:31Yes.

13:32Well, I did say I'd spend Christmas with them.

13:35Oh, well.

13:36Chocant à son goût.

13:40Why, what would you do?

13:42Well, to start with, if I had a car like this, I'd ask Millie to come down to Brighton.

13:47Yes.

13:48And if she refused?

13:49I'd take off by myself.

13:51Spend the evening at Sherry's.

13:54And what happens there?

13:56What doesn't happen there?

13:58Dancing.

13:59You'd like that.

14:00Big bands.

14:01Really?

14:02And there's always more mares than stallions.

14:05Expensive?

14:06It's one and six at the door.

14:08Now, you take a look around, you pick your partner, it'll cost you a drink or two.

14:12Is it a small portion lemon or a sandy gaff?

14:15And, on the way back, cut over to Horsham and Dorking, beetle up the Kingston Bypass,

14:21and stop for breakfast at the Ace of Spades.

14:24There's scarcely a girl you wouldn't have in the hollow of your hand.

14:29Well, thanks for your advice, Herbert, but I shall have to spend Christmas with Maud.

14:34I can't let her down.

14:37Well, it's up to you, old boy.

14:43My motto is gather your rosebuds while you meet.

14:53But you always spend Christmas with us.

14:55That's right.

14:56I know.

14:57And I'm sorry.

14:58But, you see, it's this pal of mine.

15:00Which pal?

15:01You've met him, Maud, at the Flicks first with Millie, Herbert Maynard.

15:04Oh, yes.

15:05I remember him.

15:06Rather shallow, I thought.

15:07Didn't he come here to tea once?

15:09Yes, that's right.

15:10We worked together in the city.

15:12As for her.

15:13And what has he to do with Christmas?

15:16Well, you see, he spends it in the country.

15:19Why?

15:20Does he live in the country?

15:22No.

15:23But his parents do in Surrey.

15:25And so, of course, he spends Christmas with them.

15:28That's right, Mrs. Livinglow.

15:29And I've been asked.

15:31Well, that's very kind of them.

15:32Well, I thought so.

15:33But what has that to do with your not spending Christmas with your fiancée?

15:36And her mother.

15:39Well, I promised, you see.

15:41Why?

15:42Because...

15:49Herbert's father is almost blind.

15:53And?

15:55And?

15:57His mother is a cripple.

15:59He feels she can't cope.

16:01How could you help?

16:03Oh.

16:05Christmas tree, holly, plum pudding, that sort of thing.

16:09I mean, I promised.

16:11Well, you can't let her pile down.

16:12Well, I find it very odd.

16:15Must you hardly come to see me all this week?

16:17I've already explained that, Maud.

16:19I've been kept late at the office every night.

16:20Well, it's not for me to interfere, of course.

16:22But I'm surprised you find your pal, as you call him, more important than your affianced.

16:31Well, I can't go back on my word now.

16:32But I'll be here Boxing Day, if all goes well.

16:38Sorry.

16:45Well.

16:47Well.

16:50Tell me, dear.

16:52This cheaper engagement ring he was buying, has he given it to you yet?

16:56No.

16:58No, Mother, he hasn't.

17:01I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

17:03I've sure I've gone.

17:05I'd like to look at the other people.

17:06I love them.

17:08Oh, come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphful.

17:13Oh, come all ye...

21:17I'll be right back.

22:47Do your family live in the country?

22:49Yes, but I don't.

22:51Where exactly?

22:53Surrey?

22:54No, Aberdeen.

22:56And your father?

22:58Is he blind?

22:59Well, no.

23:00Well, no.

23:00Not all the time.

23:01And your mother a cripple?

23:04Good heavens, no.

23:05No, she's the ladies' caroling champion of the Eastern Highlands.

23:09I say, what's this all about?

23:10No, no.

23:11No, no.

23:12No, it's as Maud said, it's nothing important.

23:15Right.

23:18Then I'll be on my way caroling.

23:21A little something for those less fortunate than ourselves.

23:24Give him sixpence, mother.

23:28Oh, look at that.

23:29Hello, thank you, sister.

23:31Agnes Loretta's been boggled.

24:00To work.

24:02To work.

24:06Come on, now.

24:07Oh, come on.

24:08The ice.

24:09You know, I can't.

24:11Good girl.

24:13Come on.

24:13Good grief.

24:28Good grief.

24:42The police.

24:48The police.

24:48Meet me, little Chessington.

25:02Corner Salters Lane, ten o'clock.

25:15Meet me, little Chessington.

25:17Corner Salters Lane, ten o'clock.

25:22dann o'clock.

25:22It's good.

25:23It's a success.

25:27Hi.

25:28Let's do it.

25:28mesmerile h轉

25:33You're right.

25:34Yes, sir.

25:35You're right.

25:36Oh, you're right.

25:37Hi.

25:38I'm feeling like you were trying to motel

25:39to do so.

25:40I'm feeling like you're trying to lose your weight.

25:41I'm feeling like this guy.

25:42You're really pretending to be a bet.

25:45Gerald?

25:56I say, Gerald.

25:59What an age you've been.

26:02Oh, heavens to Betsy.

26:05It's not Gerald.

26:06No.

26:09My name is Edward.

26:11Oh, Gerald's brother.

26:12Of course.

26:13I'm so glad.

26:15That idea of Jimmy said that he was sending Gerald.

26:18I say, it's jolly good of you to come.

26:20I've been dying to meet you.

26:21Yes, but I think there's been some kind of a mistake.

26:23Do you know, I haven't seen you since I was six.

26:26Isn't that a scream?

26:27This necklace.

26:28Oh, shh, put it away.

26:30In case the village bobbies abroad.

26:32I say, would you like me to drive?

26:34You can't have had much practice in Boloweo.

26:36It's awfully tricky around these lanes till you get the hang of it.

26:39Yes, but I...

26:39Especially in this weather.

26:41Jolly good, move over.

26:42There you are.

26:47Oh, Dad.

26:57Right.

26:58Off we go.

26:59Too pacey for you?

27:06No, no, no.

27:07That's fine.

27:09Fast as you like.

27:11Damn.

27:13There are others.

27:14For the police?

27:15Why, do you hope not?

27:16Do you hope not?

27:35Have a good one.

27:37Good one.

27:38Oh, jeez.

27:55Right. Off we go.

27:58Right. You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road.

28:10Hang on to your house, Edward.

28:18How's poor old Jimmy?

28:20Uh, which Jimmy?

28:23My Jimmy.

28:25Your, uh...

28:27Jimmy, my fiancée.

28:29Oh, he's all right.

28:31Shame about his ankle.

28:33Yeah.

28:36Did he have time to tell you the whole story?

28:39Actually, no.

28:42Well...

28:47Well...

28:53Of course, we'd planned it down to the last detail.

28:57I borrowed one of the maid's rooms, the tantalus, changed it to a dark sweater and slacks, and dashed across the road.

29:05Some eating room nearly ran me down.

29:07Really?

29:08Then, up the ivy.

29:10The only useful thing I ever learned to finish.

29:12Well, the maid was in the room, of course.

29:16But the minute Jimmy started the fire, she rushed out.

29:20I rushed in.

29:21I rushed in.

29:22Grabbed the necklace.

29:23Back down the ivy.

29:24Bob's your uncle.

29:26Well, of course, when Jimmy didn't turn up, I was a bit worrying.

29:32All I could do was race back to the car park, shove the necklace on a note in Jimmy's car and pray.

29:40Then I crept in through the back of the hotel.

29:42Back off the dance hall before you could say quick step.

29:45I don't think anyone even noticed I'd gone.

29:47Is it, er...

29:49Is it very valuable?

29:51The Lorella diamonds?

29:53My dear Edward.

29:54They're priceless.

29:55My dear Edward.

29:56They're priceless.

30:18Now, come on in Edward.

30:20For a quick wash and brush up before we dash off to the Café de Parry.

30:24The Café de Parry?

30:26Oh Lord, not a duck.

30:28Didn't Gerald tell you anything?

30:31Yes, but...

30:32What about my clothes?

30:34We'll rig you up in something.

30:36Oh, you're not going to desert me now.

30:40Hello, Grosvenor.

30:41What do you name your editor?

30:43Come on, Edward.

30:50Hello, Grosvenor.

30:56Shh.

31:11You're gonna see the endangered

31:20Now, what to imbibe, gimlet, horse's neck, white ladies?

31:29Uh, what are you worried about, imbibing?

31:33Well, I think cocktails are also boring, don't you?

31:36Let's stick to champagne, shall we?

31:38Let's.

31:39Champagne, please don't.

31:47Oh, godly, I nearly forgot.

31:49What?

31:50With a necklace.

31:52What, here?

31:54Yes.

31:55They really get you should.

31:57Well, that's the whole point.

31:59Maybe you're saying.

32:19It's quite an adventure.

32:20I'd rather.

32:21Do you dance?

32:22Yes.

32:23Actually, I do.

32:24Any good?

32:25Actually, I am, yes.

32:26Oh, come on then.

32:39There she is.

32:40There she is.

33:01Who's she with?

33:02I don't know, darling.

33:05Right.

33:07Four sides of the floor, and we'll try a pencil.

33:10Good evening, Noreen.

33:35Whatever you do, don't let go.

33:38Do you mind if I steal it?

33:39Hello, Melbury.

36:23Now it really is my time, don't you think?

36:37You don't mind old chap, do you?

36:39No way.

36:40Afraid?

36:41No, of course I'm not afraid.

36:43Edward, watch this gentleman like a hawk.

36:45Perhaps like that.

36:46No, Sebastian.

36:47Oh.

36:48No, Sebastian.

36:49Play first.

36:50Sebastian!

36:51That's enough.

36:52Keep your filthy hands off her.

36:53I beg your pardon?

36:54I can see what you're up to.

36:55You're trying to steal the necklace.

36:56That's a good one.

36:57Well, I'm here to return it to its rightful owner.

36:59Sebastian!

37:00Quick!

37:01Oh, Sebastian!

37:02Oh, Sebastian!

37:03Play first!

37:04Sebastian!

37:05That's enough.

37:06Keep your filthy hands off her.

37:07I beg your pardon?

37:08I can see what you're up to.

37:09You're trying to steal the necklace.

37:10That's a good one.

37:11Well, I'm here to return it to its rightful owner.

37:14Sebastian!

37:15Quick!

37:16Oh, wait!

37:17Stop her!

37:18Come on, Sebastian!

37:19Quick!

37:24Quick!

37:25No!

37:26No!

37:27Oh!

37:28Oh!

37:29Oh!

37:30Oh!

37:31Oh!

37:32Oh!

37:33Oh!

37:34Oh!

37:35Oh!

37:36Well done, Edward!

37:37Keep going!

37:38Oh!

37:39Well done, Edward!

37:40Keep going!

37:45Oh!

37:46Well done!

37:47Edward!

37:48We've won!

37:49Won?

37:50Yes!

37:51Fair enough, old girl.

37:52Congratulations.

37:53Oh, thank you.

37:54Jimmy will be proud of you.

37:55Well done, old boy.

37:56Congratulations.

37:57But I still don't see why you had to wear the necklace.

38:00Oh!

38:01Good gracious!

38:02Didn't Gerald tell you anything at all?

38:05Very little.

38:06Well, it's all rather stupid and difficult to understand, I suppose.

38:13The truth is, Edward, I'm bored.

38:16Oh, I'm not like you with herds of cattle to look after and hundreds of workers.

38:21I'm bored because I was brought up to lead a thoroughly useless life.

38:26So, first of all, it was hub crawls.

38:29And then treasure hunts.

38:31And last month I invented burglaries.

38:3450 quid entrance fee and lots to be drawn.

38:37Jimmy and I drew Agnes Lorella.

38:39Isn't that the girl who jumped off Henley Bridge for a bet?

38:43Oh!

38:44That's right.

38:45And her cammy knickers.

38:46And just missed the umpire's launch.

38:48Well, the rules are, one, you operate in pairs.

38:55Two, the burglary must be carried out within three days of the draw.

38:59And three, the loot must be worn for at least one hour in a public place.

39:06Regardez, the Café de Paris.

39:09As public as they come.

39:11And if you don't do all that, you forfeit your 50 quid and pay a hundred pound fine.

39:16That's why they were chasing us.

39:18Yes.

39:20Well, as I said, it all sounds rather stupid.

39:23No.

39:24No, it's very exciting.

39:26It's romantic.

39:27It's an adventure.

39:31I'm glad I was part of it.

39:33Mm, so am I.

39:39And you're going to marry this Jimmy fellow?

39:43That's the idea.

39:46The moment of going to press.

39:48Well, you don't sound very sure.

39:52Well, as I said, I'm bored.

39:56Oh, I'm sick of living at home.

39:59Jimmy's rich.

40:01My class, as they say.

40:04Household cavalry, all that.

40:08Looks quite tall on a horse.

40:10I shall have five children and fade into obscurity.

40:15Oh, I'm sure you won't.

40:16You'll always be the life and soul.

40:21Are you married, Edward?

40:23No.

40:24Like you.

40:25Engaged.

40:26To some dusky, Bulawayan maiden?

40:29Actually, no.

40:31A missionary's daughter.

40:33Not exactly, no.

40:34Well, I hope she likes to dance.

40:40Actually, yes.

40:42Where do you dance when you're over here?

40:43The Hammersmith Palace.

40:45Oh.

40:46Where's that?

40:49It's at Hammersmith.

40:52Is she over here with you?

40:55Yes, actually.

40:57Then where is she tonight?

41:00Well...

41:02It's a bit difficult to explain.

41:06A row?

41:08A blazing row?

41:10Not exactly, no.

41:12Not yet.

41:14Another love?

41:16In a way.

41:18Then where's she?

41:20Outside.

41:23Outside?

41:24Oh.

41:28Thou speakest in riddles, O Edward.

41:38Well, come along.

41:39Drink up.

41:41Thou must take me home.

41:43Yes, of course.

41:45Oh, and then I know you'll be a sweet man

41:48and take these back to Agnes.

41:49What, tonight?

41:51Well, the battle is lost and won.

41:52I should like you to have them back at once.

41:56You're not tired?

41:58No.

41:59Of course not.

42:01On Captain's phone, let's account, please, Gaston.

42:11Oh, well.

42:14What a night.

42:20What's the time?

42:22Er...

42:24It's nearly two.

42:25Oh, good.

42:26Then we've just got time to drop off at the palace.

42:28Awesome.

42:29Good for you.

42:30I'll see you next time.

42:32Bye, darling.

42:36Bye, darling.

42:38Bye, darling.

42:40Bye, darling.

42:43Happy New Year!

42:44Happy New Year!

42:45Happy New Year!

42:47Oh, Mary!

42:49Happy New Year!

42:51Thanks very much.

42:52Oh, thank you.

42:56Shame about poor Jimmy's ankle.

42:58Still, we won the prize.

43:00How did he do it?

43:02He caught his foot in a rabbit trap.

43:04He's only really safe on a horse.

43:06It wouldn't have happened if he climbed the ivy instead of you. Why didn't it?

43:10No head for heights.

43:22Norrie!

43:24Gerald!

43:26Thank the Lord, I've got hold of you at last.

43:28I say, I went to the cafe to pee, but you left.

43:32How's Jimmy?

43:33Well, Jimmy's an ass.

43:34Oh, Gerald.

43:35Sorry, I'll go over the years.

43:37But it's not his fault that he got his foot caught.

43:41It's nobody else's fault.

43:43I had to keep going. A vex the neck.

43:45Of course.

43:46I trust Jimmy to call back to Agnes's house to ask for help.

43:48I know. What did she do?

43:50Well, she sent a chauffeur to pick up his car in the cantalus car park.

43:53It's taken to the cottage hospital.

43:55Yeah.

43:56But he picked up the wrong car.

43:57Oh, no!

43:58So some poor blight has lost his measure.

44:01God bless. No, the diamonds.

44:03What?

44:04What do you mean?

44:05We've got them.

44:06Well, well, Edward has.

44:08Don't you say hello to your own brother?

44:10What?

44:11To Edward.

44:13Yeah, after Edward's in for a while.

44:16Oh, sir.

44:17Oh, heavens.

44:18A real burglar.

44:19But you said that.

44:20I have to thank you, Lady Noreen, for a most delightful evening.

44:23Toodalooch.

44:24Who the devil is that?

44:25Edward!

44:26Look!

44:27Wait!

44:28There's Jimmy's car.

44:29Edward!

44:30Wait!

44:31Wait!

44:32Wait!

44:33Stop, wait!

44:34What?

44:35Oh, please.

44:36You...

44:37Just toodalooch.

44:38Oh, the devil is that!

44:39Edward!

44:40Edward!

44:41Wait!

44:42There's Jimmy's car!

44:43Edward!

44:45Wait!

44:46Edward, give me the necklace, please.

44:48Please.

44:49Edward, please, look!

44:50I've gotta get it there to阿健as!

44:51Guys.

44:52Please.

44:53Edward, please look!

44:55I've got to get it on to Adonis!

44:55God bless you, Lady Noreen.

44:57Oh, go on, be a sport.

45:03We've had a good evening together.

45:07A lovely adventure, please.

45:20Oh, you lovely, lovely man.

45:27You'd better have these, too.

45:34Take me with you.

45:36Where?

45:37Wherever your next job is.

45:39Job?

45:40I wouldn't be a handicap to you.

45:42I promise.

45:44I might even get quite good at it.

45:46Sorry, good at what?

45:49Just look at what you nearly got away with tonight on your own.

45:53A diamond necklace, a string of pearls.

45:56Just think what you could do with an accomplice.

46:06That's terribly kind of you.

46:08But what about Jimmy?

46:11Oh, well, Jimmy's all right, but he's got no sense of adventure or...

46:18Well, romance.

46:27Supposing we're caught?

46:29Isn't Jimmy better than six months in Holloway?

46:32Hmm?

46:35Yes, I suppose.

46:36I'm being rejected.

46:43No, no.

46:47It's only that I couldn't ask that big a sacrifice from such a...

46:52Such a very wonderful girl.

46:55You mean...

46:59This is goodbye?

47:03Goodbye.

47:07We'll never meet again.

47:10I didn't expect so.

47:13But I shall never forget you.

48:45the truth is I won a magazine competition.

48:48five hundred pounds as a matter of fact.

48:58I bought a car.
