Short filmTranscript
00:00:30Good morning, Mr. K. Mrs. K., are you still enjoying London?
00:00:50I always enjoy London.
00:00:51It down seems so blase, but don't be fooled by it.
00:00:54Between you and me, my husband's like a kid with a new train set every morning.
00:00:57Oh yeah, and who dragged me out to see the tower last night?
00:01:00It's better when it's floodlit, she says.
00:01:02It's also better when it isn't raining.
00:01:05I'll take these in fives, please, and the way Susie's been spending, I'll probably be
00:01:09back for more within an hour.
00:01:11Fine.
00:01:12Mr. K., I wonder if you'd mind.
00:01:13My son, he likes very much jazz piano.
00:01:15Oh, sure.
00:01:16Frankly, I lean towards the classics myself.
00:01:19Well, do me a favor, don't talk him out of it, or I might not be able to cash any more
00:01:22checks.
00:01:23What's his name?
00:01:24Alec.
00:01:25Alec.
00:01:26Stand.
00:01:27Okay.
00:01:28Here, I'll swipe you.
00:01:30And now, Mrs. K.
00:01:31Mrs. K.
00:01:32Stay out of the way.
00:01:33You have sense.
00:01:34Have you finished?

00:07:19Ah!
00:07:20Ah!
00:07:21Ah!
00:07:22Ah!
00:07:23When I bought my partnership, Claudia was 12 years old.
00:07:26What did you buy it with anyway? You never had two fivers keeping company all your life.
00:07:29That's a question of the magic moment, isn't it?
00:07:31You've got to be ready to take your chance when it comes.
00:07:33Isn't that right, Alan?
00:07:34Like you with your first big scrap iron deal, how did you swing that?
00:07:37Oh, luck.
00:07:38Here's the piano wizard.
00:07:46How brave to come all the way from America on his own.
00:07:49Oh, he has a man who travels with him.
00:07:52But I read he got some kind of virus on the way over and had to stay in town.
00:08:02That very pretty girl with him is looking after him for now.
00:08:06Lucky girl. He's a dish.
00:08:08I wouldn't mind looking after him myself.
00:08:17Sir Peter's a self-made man himself.
00:08:19That's why he gets on so well with his future son-in-law.
00:08:21He seems self-made. I thought he inherited it all.
00:08:24Don't you believe it. He started with one wine store.
00:08:27Then about ten years ago, he foresaw that wine was about to take off.
00:08:31So he got some capital from somewhere and started to expand.
00:08:35Look where he's finished up.
00:08:37Robert Carroll, as I said, came like a rocket out of nowhere.
00:08:41It was my idea. I've got all his records.
00:08:44I think he was absolutely brilliant.
00:08:47Yes, well, we'll see you a little later, shall we?
00:08:49Oh, how nice.
00:08:57Well, he's certainly very good-looking.
00:08:59Who is?
00:09:00Robert Carroll, Claudia's fiancé.
00:09:02Oh, the boy wonder.
00:09:04How did you find out?
00:09:06Ladies and gentlemen.
00:09:08Ladies and gentlemen.
00:09:10Ladies and gentlemen.
00:09:12May I have your attention, please?
00:09:14The man you've all been waiting for, Mr Stan Kay.
00:09:20Why, you call Robert Carroll the boy wonder.
00:09:23Two years ago, he was a broker's clerk.
00:09:25Then some obscure aunt nobody'd ever heard of before died and left him a fortune.
00:09:29Now he's one of the biggest money brokers in the city.
00:09:31But he must have ability as well as luck.
00:09:34With luck and money, who needs ability?
00:09:36Just a truck to carry home the loot.
00:09:38Oh, they say men aren't gutted.
00:09:40Shh.
00:09:49Shh.
00:09:59Wait, did you say your first big deal?
00:10:00What do you know, sir?
00:10:01When I come to a party, I come to a party.
00:10:03Shh.
00:10:14Isn't she wonderful?
00:10:19She's wonderful.
00:10:41Ladies and gentlemen, there he goes once again.
00:10:43And now...
00:11:20Aah!
00:11:56Stan?
00:11:57Are you all right?
00:11:58Yes, sure. I'm fine.
00:11:59Don't look at him. You're shaking.
00:12:01Oh, that's just anger at myself.
00:12:03I botched up the whole phrase.
00:12:05Stan, something is wrong.
00:12:07Maybe. Who was it?
00:12:08Who?
00:12:09Somebody spoke right toward the end there.
00:12:10Who was it? Did you see him?
00:12:12Just some fool suggesting you were drinking.
00:12:14Oh, no, no, not him. I made him.
00:12:15He was standing just off to my right, yes?
00:12:17Yes.
00:12:18Well, this was before, earlier.
00:12:19I caught just a snatch of it.
00:12:21It didn't even make sense.
00:12:23Does it matter?
00:12:26No, no, I guess not.
00:12:28It's just imagination.
00:12:31You sure you're all right?
00:12:33Nothing that a good drink won't cure.
00:12:35Champagne?
00:12:36How about bourbon?
00:12:37Right.
00:12:43Imagination. I don't know.
00:12:45A trick of memory?
00:12:47Let's leave it at that.
00:12:52I'm really sorry someone spoke while you were playing.
00:12:56I'll make sure next time they're really quiet.
00:12:59Oh, no, it's not them.
00:13:00You play well enough, they'll listen.
00:13:02Musician loses his audience, that's his own fault.
00:13:04Well, yep, you heard, I didn't.
00:13:07I warned you, remember?
00:13:09I have tricky hearing, a pin drop at 40 paces.
00:13:12The acoustics in this place are good, too.
00:13:15Maybe too darn good.
00:13:17Yeah, that voice, it just seemed to come out of everywhere.
00:13:20Couldn't place it.
00:13:22Hey, it was imagination, remember?
00:13:24Oh.
00:13:26Yeah.
00:13:28Please.
00:13:31Why was it so important?
00:13:32It wasn't important.
00:13:37Here.
00:13:39But don't let your host see you drinking whiskey.
00:13:41He's a wine shipper, remember?
00:13:43He might get a bit upset.
00:13:44That's true.
00:13:50Stan?
00:13:53Clear!
00:13:54What is it?
00:13:55Well, not enough to clear.
00:14:02It is him.
00:14:03Where is he? Do you see him?
00:14:05See who?
00:14:06Him, the man who spoke just now.
00:14:08Stan, everybody's speaking.
00:14:09I can't pick out one from this crowd.
00:14:11I can, he's there.
00:14:12He's over there.
00:14:13Mr. Kay, you were fantastic.
00:14:15Do you know that?
00:14:16I've always thought you were fantastic, but now I know.
00:14:19Stan, this is Claudia Hastings.
00:14:20It's her party.
00:14:21Oh, yes.
00:14:22Thank you very much, Miss Hastings.
00:14:24It's a wonderful party.
00:14:25Congratulations.
00:14:26Oh, thank you.
00:14:27I never dreamed we'd be able to get you.
00:14:29You will play some more for us later?
00:14:30Sure, it'll be my pleasure.
00:14:32More, darling.
00:14:33What is it?
00:14:43No, I...
00:14:44I can't hear him anymore, he's gone.
00:14:46Hear who?
00:14:47What are you hoping to hear?
00:14:48I'm not hoping, Judy.
00:14:51Stan, would you tell me what this is all about?
00:14:54Yeah.
00:14:55But someplace else, huh?
00:14:56Could we go someplace where it's quiet?
00:14:58Yeah, come on, yeah.
00:15:09Sorry.
00:15:10I forgot.
00:15:11They set up a disco in there for the pop fiends.
00:15:14Terrific, really marvellous.
00:15:16Thank you very much.
00:15:19Oh, I could listen to you all night, Mr. Kay.
00:15:22Mr. Kay, might I have your autograph, please?
00:15:25I'm sure you'll give it to me.
00:15:27I thought you wanted to.
00:15:29Stan.
00:15:41There's a couch over here.
00:15:42Come and sit down.
00:15:49Now, what is it?
00:15:52I think I told you that I digested.
00:15:54I said that things fade.
00:15:55Yes.
00:15:57Well, some things don't fade.
00:15:58At least one thing didn't.
00:16:00The killer's voice.
00:16:01The killer's voice?
00:16:02Yes, you see, I heard him speak.
00:16:04He said, you have sense?
00:16:06Help him fill it?
00:16:08Help him fill it and stay clear, stay clear.
00:16:13Only Susie didn't stay clear.
00:16:14She got in the way.
00:16:17Well, he was wearing a hood over his head,
00:16:19so his voice was muffled,
00:16:20but I've got one of the best ears in the business,
00:16:22and the singer's called Perfect Pitch,
00:16:24and I could pick him out of a baseball crowd.
00:16:28And tonight, I heard that voice again.
00:16:33The man who killed my wife,
00:16:35who blinded me, is here.
00:16:37That can't be.
00:16:38Why not?
00:16:39Oh, because...
00:16:40Because our host wouldn't know such a man?
00:16:41Yes.
00:16:42Look, a man went to jail for armed robbery just a few months ago,
00:16:45and I seem to remember he had a big house near here.
00:16:47All right, there are some people...
00:16:48Well, criminals don't go around looking like criminals anymore.
00:16:50I mean, he might not even be a criminal now.
00:16:52He may have made his stake and gone straight.
00:16:54That can happen.
00:16:56Look, this is all just on a voice.
00:16:58You heard ten years ago.
00:17:00Can't you be mistaken?
00:17:01No.
00:17:04What did it sound like, this voice?
00:17:07Well, there's...
00:17:08There's nothing extraordinary about it.
00:17:10I mean, the way it sounds to me might not make sense to you,
00:17:13because I hear it differently, you see.
00:17:15I hear a certain register in it.
00:17:19How do you know I don't hear the same way?
00:17:21Oh, maybe you do, but I don't think so,
00:17:22because it's a question of tones, you see,
00:17:25vibes, half tones.
00:17:27Look, tonight, I didn't even hear the words.
00:17:29All I was getting was the shape, the structure of the sounds.
00:17:33Well, if we don't hear voices, what?
00:17:38There's someone outside the door.
00:17:40There are a hundred people.
00:17:44This one isn't moving.
00:17:48He's listening to us.
00:17:51Now he's moving.
00:18:00What are you doing in here?
00:18:01I didn't know that parts of this house were off-limits.
00:18:04Not that it's any of your business.
00:18:06Oh, but it is.
00:18:07Who are you?
00:18:08Ben Tamplin, security.
00:18:10There's lots of valuable stuff in this house.
00:18:13Them pictures, for instance.
00:18:15They're not my taste, but they run into thousands, some of them.
00:18:18You just stopped us from cutting them out of the frames.
00:18:21Eh?
00:18:22Passing them to our gang out the window, right?
00:18:25You're joking.
00:18:27That's right, I'm joking.
00:18:28And you're being presumptuous and rude.
00:18:30You must know who Mr. Kay is, even if you don't know who I am.
00:18:32Kay?
00:18:34Oh, the entertainer.
00:18:36Now, wait a minute.
00:18:37No, drop it, Julie.
00:18:38The man paid me a compliment.
00:18:40Entertainer.
00:18:41Look, I'm doing me job.
00:18:42Very badly.
00:18:43Leave it alone, Julie.
00:18:44After all, Mr. Tamplin is going to apologize to you.
00:18:46Aren't you, Mr. Tamplin?
00:18:49Oh, sorry if I was a bit abrupt, but there's lots of valuable things in this house.
00:18:55Come on.
00:18:56We'll leave this man to count his silver.
00:18:59I had no idea you have such a temper.
00:19:02I just get angry, that's all.
00:19:04I'm sorry.
00:19:05Don't be.
00:19:06I'm told that temper suggests a passionate nature.
00:19:08Oh?
00:19:15No?
00:19:16No.
00:19:17Maybe you were right the first time.
00:19:19Just imagination.
00:19:20I bought it the first time, yes.
00:19:22The second time, it's him, he's here.
00:19:24Look, there must be a guest list.
00:19:25Julie, I don't know his name.
00:19:27Just the sound, the feel, the nuances of his voice.
00:19:30Then what are you going to do?
00:19:32Look, I'll need your help.
00:19:34All right.
00:19:35Would you steer me around this place so I can listen?
00:19:41All right.
00:19:43And then he just stopped at the water and pitched me straight over his head.
00:19:49My dear, thank you.
00:19:50You're the man in the room.
00:19:52My dear, thank you.
00:19:53You're the man in the room.
00:19:55I have never seen such a polished bunch of customers in my life.
00:20:21Yes.
00:20:22Yes.
00:20:23Yes.
00:20:24Yes.
00:20:25Yes.
00:20:26Yes.
00:20:27Yes.
00:20:28Yes.
00:20:29Yes.
00:20:30Yes.
00:20:31It's that wonderful touch.
00:20:32One can recognize it instantly.
00:20:35My son has something of the same quality.
00:20:38He's very lucky to get Claudia.
00:20:40He kept some pretty strange company a few years ago.
00:20:43Well, I suppose we've all sown our wild oats.
00:20:46Indeed, sometimes.
00:20:48I can hardly distinguish his playing from that of dear Mr. Kaye's.
00:20:53How old is he?
00:20:54Eight.
00:20:55But he has been learning for nearly two years.
00:20:57Would you excuse us, please?
00:20:58I might have.
00:20:59Sorry.
00:21:01Excuse us.
00:21:11Oh, Mr. Kaye.
00:21:12Please play for us in here.
00:21:13Do.
00:21:14I'm sorry.
00:21:15Not right now.
00:21:16Well, but you must.
00:21:17You said I'm sorry.
00:21:18Julie, would you get me out of here?
00:21:19Mr. Kaye's promised to play again later.
00:21:37I'm sorry about that, Julie.
00:21:39Stan, can't you possibly be mistaken?
00:21:41I know what I heard.
00:21:42I know.
00:21:43Now stop treating me like a child.
00:21:45Look, I don't mean to start on you.
00:21:48I'd like another drink.
00:21:50You've already had two large ones.
00:21:55All right, another drink.
00:21:57Come on.
00:22:00Wait here.
00:22:15I've never seen you.
00:22:16I'll be with you in a moment.
00:22:18Hey, look.
00:22:25Hey, look.
00:22:26Oh, God.
00:22:27Not you again.
00:22:28You must.
00:22:29You've had about a 70 million.
00:22:30I've just tasted it.
00:22:31Well, you always did get ahead of the game.
00:22:33Well, don't worry.
00:22:34I'll catch up with you as soon as I've done Nancy's coat.
00:22:37See you in a moment.
00:22:45Oh, Mr. Kaye.
00:22:47Something wrong?
00:22:48I'm sorry.
00:22:49Ludo.
00:22:50Where's Ludo?
00:22:51Ludo's a game.
00:22:52No, he's a man.
00:22:53He was just here.
00:22:54Blind drunk.
00:22:56Dear Mr. Kaye, can I help you?
00:22:58Mr. Kaye.
00:23:00Julie.
00:23:01Miss Gordon.
00:23:02Miss Gordon.
00:23:03Julie.
00:23:04Stan.
00:23:05Stan.
00:23:07What is it?
00:23:08He's there.
00:23:09On the stairs.
00:23:10Who is he?
00:23:11Who's on the stairs?
00:23:12The stairs are there.
00:23:13There's no one there.
00:23:14But he was there.
00:23:15I heard him.
00:23:16Stan, you're beginning to lose your reputation.
00:23:18You know, the cool pianist.
00:23:19I heard him loud and clear this time.
00:23:21Oh, Stan, I believe you.
00:23:23He'd gone when I looked.
00:23:25Well, do you know where he went?
00:23:27Did you get the feeling that he'd come past you?
00:23:29I don't think so.
00:23:30All I could hear were stairs.
00:23:31People going up and down stairs.
00:23:32So maybe, maybe he went up.
00:23:34Maybe.
00:23:36Well, this is not really your problem, is it?
00:23:39Absolutely out of his scope.
00:23:42I know.
00:23:44Come on.
00:23:47Here's the first step.
00:24:03Here's the next step.
00:24:12Come on.
00:24:25There are four doors here.
00:24:27This is your bedroom.
00:24:28Have a look.
00:24:38There's no one there.
00:24:41Come on.
00:24:52That was the bathroom, and it's empty.
00:25:06That was the bedroom.
00:25:08It was just full of coats.
00:25:10Nancy's coat.
00:25:11What?
00:25:12Ludo, the man that he was talking to.
00:25:14He said he was going to dump Nancy's coat.
00:25:16Let's find it.
00:25:17Here.
00:25:25What's wrong?
00:25:27Well, you can see for yourself.
00:25:29Stan, the bed is just piled high with them.
00:25:32Where's the bed?
00:25:33Here.
00:25:34Nancy's coat should be near the top.
00:25:37Find Nancy, find Ludo, find the man I'm after.
00:25:40It's possible, I suppose, that Nancy, whoever left something in her pocket,
00:25:43something with her name on it...
00:25:44Stan!
00:25:45Well, help me!
00:26:07Ann!
00:26:19Julie.
00:26:20What is this, a notebook, a packet book?
00:26:22What?
00:26:23Julie!
00:26:24Stan, we're not alone.
00:26:30That's right.
00:26:32Well, the entertainer.
00:26:36Funny kind of entertainment this look I know this looks odd very odd
00:26:41Going through people's pockets. You're just jumping your conclusion. Oh am I because you don't know the full facts
00:26:46Well, you better give them to me then and yeah, that's enough. I'm gonna find sir Peter
00:26:53Not until I've had the full facts
00:26:56well
00:26:58All right. Look it was more than 10 years ago a bank raid
00:27:06And that's it. He's here. I heard it. It's crazy
00:27:12Recognizing a voice after 10 years
00:27:14You believe this? Yeah. No, maybe she'd like to maybe she even half believes, but completely
00:27:21Nevertheless, the man who killed my wife is in this house
00:27:25What did he say this man you heard tonight? He said
00:27:29Ludo you've lost your bet about the Santa Emilio. I've just tasted it
00:27:34Look if we could just find this Ludo and ask him who said that to him
00:27:38Well, I'm not saying I believe you but you have heard crazier things
00:27:41maybe
00:27:44Tell you what I'll do
00:27:46Got some police friends. I'll check up on the bank race and if it checks out and I'll start looking for Ludo
00:27:53I'm not saying I'm convinced mine. It's gonna check up. That's all
00:28:04Julie
00:28:09What did his face look like our security friend was a skeptical humoring or does he really mean to do something I
00:28:15Think you'll do what he said he'll do
00:28:18Now, come on. Let's go back to the party. Oh
00:28:24Stan I don't think you ought to tell anyone else about that boy
00:28:27You say like me
00:28:29What do you mean? I mean if it's true then if it's true, you see I was right about you
00:28:34You'd like to believe but you can't I was going to say if it is true
00:28:38Then the fewer people who know the better in case he gets to know then you'd be in danger, wouldn't you?
00:28:47Your hand
00:28:49You know Julie, I thought I'd adjusted ten years of adjustment and for the first time I find myself wishing for the impossible
00:28:57my sight
00:29:08Well, if this is a party, do you suppose you could find me some champagne
00:29:16Anyway, I'm pleased Robert's a fine chap came right out of the blue
00:29:23Well a few years ago
00:29:27That's the way things are these days meteoric besides that excuse me, sir. Yeah, is there a phone up?
00:29:32Do you say it's private? Oh in the study there? No, thank you, sir. Something wrong. Oh, it's nothing I can't answer
00:29:39Oh
00:29:55Say so he's telling the truth about the back right anyway
00:30:04George I'll call you back
00:30:09Oh
00:30:19The nuances of fine wine mean nothing absolutely nothing the uninitiated but to the connoisseur
00:30:25Well
00:30:33Is it all right to speak or are you listening sit down Julie tell me all your hopes and fears Oh
00:30:40Yeah
00:30:42Thank you. Oh
00:30:44Happy life husband kids, but most of all the hope that you were mistaken about that voice
00:30:50That's sad. I mean the forlorn hope is always sad, isn't it?
00:30:54But I'm sure the husband and kids will work out
00:30:58Well, and then that brings me to my fears I
00:31:01Know a lot of those people down there
00:31:04My fear is that it might be one of them. No doubt. Oh, you mean old Ludovic Bates?
00:31:09Why you have a bet with him sir about some wine some?
00:31:1470 million or something. No
00:31:17No, dude, I haven't the slightest idea. Look here. What is all this? It's important. I have a world
00:31:22So, you know what it is? Well, he was around here when I yelled at him
00:31:28Seems to shoved off. Ah
00:31:30I know follow me
00:31:35No one yet
00:31:37soft
00:31:39Span an octave. Uh-huh
00:31:42Musician, huh? Go on. Mr. Holmes. Well, the accent doesn't fool me. I'd say half and half
00:31:48mother European
00:31:50Father
00:31:55Too young to be a war baby, so I guess he was a salesman some kind
00:32:00He was
00:32:01He's dead now, but mum is alive looking half her age and twice as beautiful
00:32:07like mother like daughter
00:32:10No, I checked all this out with your boss my agent and he tells me you're a really sensational
00:32:20Oh, what's going on? Art is livening up. What do you see template?
00:32:50I
00:33:11Thought we might find him in there usually start for paying off the broken glass man
00:33:20It looks as if you'll have to chase all through the wine cellars now
00:33:50I
00:34:21Don't know it's my
00:34:28Mr. Bates security like a word
00:34:41You there
00:34:50I
00:34:56Didn't get into the company mr. Bates
00:35:02Father why you'll bet with someone
00:35:20Mr. Bates you
00:35:50I
00:36:21Oh
00:36:32Mr. Bates
00:36:51Mr. Bates
00:37:13There you are you wanted to see it that little bottle set me back 3,000 to the wine auction
00:37:203,000 for one bottle of wine. It's not just a bottle of wine. It's an investment
00:37:261812 burgundy just think
00:37:30Victoria not on the throne yet and probably quite undrinkable
00:37:34Without a doubt. Oh surely not. That's right Peter. Why not crack it open now? Let's try something. Oh, I
00:37:41Must get back to the party
00:37:43Find that daughter of mine and her fiance
00:37:48Where is he anyway deserted her already
00:38:02I might have known you've been down in the cellars looting daddy's car. I've been doing nothing of the sort as a matter of fact
00:38:08I dropped my lighter behind a radiator. I'd be contorted just to get it back
00:38:13Now you come and have a talk Stan K you haven't exchanged a word with him all night later, sweetheart
00:38:17I've just got to complete a deal with old Townsend
00:38:22So I decided to join the agents, I'm sorry look I hate to keep bothering you
00:38:25But Tamplin's been such a long time now just one phone call. He said maybe he's found him. Are we still looking?
00:38:35All right, I'll go see what's happening
00:38:42Oh, sorry, I'll be right back
00:38:53I know I left the cigarette somewhere
00:39:12I probably left them in my coat
00:39:42I
00:39:55Acting strangely all evening. Yes
00:39:57Now look don't hang about all is well. We'll get on with it now do carry on with the party. Will you?
00:40:03Thank you very much
00:40:06Miss Gordon luckily it seems we have a doctor in the house. Dr. Mase

00:41:28Where are you taking?
00:41:35You wait and see
00:41:59I
00:42:08Think he's all right. There's no concussion more shaken than anything
00:42:13Just you take it easy for a bit. Mr. K. Thank you
00:42:16Thank you, Julie. Yeah
00:42:20No
00:42:24No, I mean it are we alone yeah
00:42:28Julie I'm right
00:42:30I've been proved right
00:42:32See, I heard that voice and I started toward it and he hit me with something
00:42:37But don't you see it proves that I know what I'm talking about because he attacked me
00:42:42Not only do I know about him now, but obviously he knows about me. I
00:42:46Was moving up the stairs toward him because he planned it that way
00:42:48He spoke so I would hear him so I would move toward him and he was just standing there waiting for me
00:42:54boy lamb to slaughter
00:42:59I
00:43:16We go he's still here you don't know that. Oh, yes I do now I do
00:43:21Oh
00:43:25Look Julie
00:43:27Julie if I'm right
00:43:29How does he know that I know when you were telling Tamplin?
00:43:33Sure, you mean in that room upstairs? Yeah, it was quiet. He must have been outside the door listening
00:43:39But suppose not hearing out if he did here
00:43:42Then why didn't he just leave this party? Why didn't he run?
00:43:46Because he can't
00:43:48Because he's important and it would be noticed if he left early he's stuck here Julie
00:43:53I'm gonna find it, but how Tamplin what's happened to Tampa? Does it matter?
00:43:56You bet it does because Tamplin must know now to he left that room
00:43:59You remember half believing me. He was gonna check out my story find Ludo
00:44:02Whoever he is the man with the voice would never let that happen
00:44:05Do you mean that Tamplin could be on his way to an accident to?
00:44:08Well, hold on. Where are you going? Well to find Tamplin to ask some questions, but ask who who can you trust?
00:44:13So Peter you've heard him speak. It's not him the waiters the staff
00:44:17Well a waiter would hardly be making a bet with a guest. Would he know?
00:44:21No, you're right. Okay. Take me with you. I I can't do much but I can listen
00:44:26You promised to stay put
00:44:28I
00:44:58Just want to ask him some questions
00:45:28I
00:45:52Told you he's not
00:45:54That's I think we're engaged Ludo hello you made a bet about wine
00:46:02Can't you get him some black coffee
00:46:04I would
00:46:17Do you have mr. K? I've been trying all evening to get your autograph. Oh
00:46:26Tell him there you are. I've been looking for you. Where did you disappear to drinking the profits?
00:46:34Okay, it'll keep I'll see you later
00:46:41Fully recovered, I'm
00:46:43Sorry here about your accident. I wasn't drunk. So yeah, I can see that but you heard I was
00:46:49Places like a battlefield rumors fly. I'll bet old Ludo went along
00:46:55Yes, he's a guest here. I don't know. I don't know half the people here Claudia's friends, you know
00:47:01Well, that must make things pretty tough for security
00:47:05Looking after that a chap called template say is he anywhere around?
00:47:10See him. Why do you want him? There's just something I wanted to ask
00:47:15Got the impression. I saw him heading towards the wine cellar, but that was half an hour ago
00:47:20You
00:47:26Know I've heard so much about these famous wine sellers of yours
00:47:30I was wondering is there any chance that I might go down there? Well, I really would love to sample it Clara
00:47:36You shall and so shall I come along. I
00:47:41Didn't want to put you to all this trouble no trouble at all. Frankly, I'm glad of an excuse to get away from this
00:47:50Yeah
00:47:59Here's the staircase
00:48:01Fine steps all together not too slippery. Put your hand on my shoulder. Oh, thank you
00:48:05I thought if you had a wine steward or a cellar man that I could talk to him. He'd take care of me
00:48:10Well, there's Parkinson, of course, but he'll have retired past by now. I should think huh over zealous sampling of the product
00:48:18The good wine is stronger than his Yorkshire
00:48:22Yeah, he usually manages to get to his room collapse on the bed occasionally. So that makes it to the staircase
00:48:29Next morning he resigns. Yes, did it? I
00:48:33Reject his resignation. It's a game. We've been playing for years. He sounds like quite a character. I'd like to admit it
00:48:38Well, you may be lucky but I doubt it at these parties. Can just anybody come down and taste the wine
00:48:44Oh close friends and
00:48:46Have any of them done it tonight? Well now steady
00:48:49I believe Alan Richard said something now. He's got a good palate even though he's a millionaire
00:49:15I
00:49:26Concerned
00:49:28Curious how sound deadening displaces. Yes, it gets absorbed because there's no feedback
00:49:32This is what they made their studios like at the beginning of radio sound is a living thing
00:49:36You see and they just took all the life out of it
00:49:39Parkinson
00:49:42Parkinson
00:49:44Did he?
00:49:46Yeah, that's right. Just over to the left a bit down a step there. That's right
00:50:01I'm sorry. I thought I heard something. No, yeah
00:50:11Oh
00:50:27Yeah
00:50:29That's a patch in the centimillion drink it one drink it. Oh, I do so admire a dominant woman
00:50:37Oh
00:50:40Parkinson, I'm afraid. Oh
00:50:43He's been at the 69 Shauvetain again and the 66 cent a million. You have to admit the man has taste
00:50:51What is this?
00:50:52Visitors book no seller book name of the wine name of the shipper
00:50:57Vintage where we bought it price comments and so on comments
00:51:02Well what we thought of it what I guess thought of it, but it's still improving
00:51:05Sir, well, you mean if anyone had been tasting tonight Parkinson would have written down their names and what they said
00:51:11We might have done depending on a how conscientious he was feeling and be how drunk he was
00:51:18Well, I've heard a couple of people mentioned the centimillion. Has he written about anyone tasting man?
00:51:23Well, he was just about able to hold the pen apparently two friends tasted it John Pelham and James
00:51:30Townsend Pelham said
00:51:32Excellent and Townsend knockout
00:51:36Would you like to taste something? Oh, well, how about that centimillion? I've been hearing so much about good idea and so shall I
