Transcript

00:00A good clean honest whack over the head with a brick is one thing.

00:04There's something British about this, but no.

00:08The news of the crime is everywhere.

00:11Alice is at a table and is asked to cut a slice of bread,

00:15while a neighbor, or maybe she's just a regular customer,

00:19tells everyone present about the murder.

00:22But all we hear is each time the woman says the word knife.

00:29Alice, cut us a bit of bread, will you?

00:31The rest of her dialogue is purposely garbled.

00:35The poor girl responsible for the killing

00:38is hesitant in handling the knife.

00:45And eventually drops it when the neighbor delivers

00:48one last and loud knife.

00:51You ought to have been more careful.

00:53Might have cut somebody with that.

00:56But now observe the same scene in the silent version.
