All language subtitles for Alfred Hitchcock s03e20 On The Nose

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and
good evening to the rest of you as well.

We've ceased being particular.

I'm training to become a jockey, and
this is the mount they assigned me.

This is an improvement.

It usually takes three cents.

Will one of you please get off?

I forgot to tell you, this machine is
very impudent.

It's all very discouraging. I don't know
what to do.

Why don't you cut out that two o 'clock
feeding?

I think I'd better get off these scales.

Tonight's story touches on racing and is
called On the Nose.

But before we see it, a very worthy
organisation would like to make this

urgent appeal.

I have some more, honey. Okay.

Better hurry, dear. You'll be late.

No.

Hey, my watch has stopped.

What time is it?

Twenty -five -two.

Where's your watch?

It's, uh, being fixed.

I overwound it.

Again?

When are you going to learn to be more
careful?

I don't know.

What are you going to do today, honey?

Well, I thought I'd go downtown and do a
little window shopping.

So long as it's just window shopping.

Hello?

Oh, hi.

Yeah.

Oh, yes, I am.

Well, that'll be fine.

In about an hour?

Okay, bye.

Who's that?

Lila Shank.

Oh.

What's she want?

She's going shopping with me today.

You sure you're just going shopping?

Of course I'm going shopping. Where else
could I possibly... Well, knowing Lila

Shank, you could be going to the races.

The track opened again yesterday.

Do you think I'd lie to you and go to
the races after what I... No, no, no.

I... Of course not.

Fran,

it wouldn't be the first time.

Now, if you started playing the horses
again, is that what happened to your

watch? Did you hock that? I told you I
broke it. It's being fixed.

Oh.

Where did you take it? I could pick it
up on my way to work.

You don't have to.

I could do it myself and save you the
trouble.

No, it's no trouble.

Now, just tell me where you left it.

Honey, don't you trust me?

I'll have it back by the time you get
home. I give you my word.

All right.

And it isn't the watch, you know that.

It's the bedding.

See, you told me that you stopped, and
if it turns out that you haven't... But

have. I haven't placed a single bet
since I promised.

Okay, okay.

But if I find out that you're lying,
say, help me, it'll be the last time.

No more scenes, no more tears, no more
quarrels, no more promises.

We're finished.

I've had it, do you understand?

Yes, dear.

Oh, honey.

I hate to start the day off like this.

But I've got to make you realize how
serious,

how terribly dangerous this disease of
yours can be. It can destroy everything

that we've got.

If you let it.

I won't.

I promise.

Okay.

Oh, hey, I gotta run.

So long.

Ed?

Yeah, what is it?

Ed, you didn't really mean what you said
about leaving me, did you?

Honey, I love you, but I can't live with
this any longer.

I've done everything I could because I
know that if you so much as place one

more bet, you can't stop.

But I can.

I can walk right out that door and never
walk in again.

Ed, don't say that.

I mean it.

I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but
I had to go out. Oh, that's all right,

honey.

Say, wait till you hear my big news.

I didn't want to tell you over the phone
because I knew how excited you'd get.

What big news?

I hit the Daily Double yesterday.

No! Yes! For 268 bucks!

200! My gosh!

And there it is.

Cold, beautiful cash.

Ain't I pretty?

Come on, hurry up and get dressed. We're
going off the track today with our real

bankroll.

You are.

I'm not.

But we had a date.

I changed my mind.

How come?

After I talked to you on the phone, Ed
guessed about us going to the track. He

said he'd leave me if he ever caught me
gambling again.

So, don't let him catch you.

I'm through.

My marriage is worth more to me than
going... Yeah, sure, I know. I've heard

that before.

This time I mean it.

Look, honey, you can lick it, so why
fight it?

And why should you?

We're all entitled to a little
excitement, a good time. And who does it

So what if you lose a few bucks
occasionally?

Every pleasure costs something.

Well, I have my husband and my home.

And that's enough?

Has to be.

Listen, friend.

Okay, sister.

Good luck to you, and good luck to me.
Good luck.

boy, because I'm seeing pink angels.

And here it is, our record of the week.

Pink angels.

Well, Miss Boy, sure shot, Washington
Flyer, pink angel.

Hello,

is Mr. Cooney there? This is Mrs.

No, never mind.

What's the matter with me?

Well, no, I didn't.

It's funny.

Well, I was just going to call you
anyway to make sure you were home.

I want to come up and see you.

See me? What for?

Small matter of the money you owe us.

$26 .40 to be exact.

$26?

Well, that's not so much. I mean... It
all adds up, Mrs. Holland.

$26 here, $26 there. Before we know it,
we're out of barrel.

Know what I mean? No, I don't.

Look, I've always managed to pay my
debts, and I don't like being treated

an ordinary deadbeat.

Now, don't get excited, Mrs. Holland. It
ain't me. It's the boys upstairs. They

hand down the orders, and I carry them
out.

Or else.

And the order I got is, collect the
dough.

All right, you'll get it.

Fine.

I'll be right over.

$1 .55.

Here I am, Mrs. Holland.

I got here as fast as I could.

What's all this about?

Well, like I told you, $26 .40.

Get it up.

I can't.

I haven't got it.

I'll have to wait until Friday when I
get my household money. Oh, not Friday.

Now. That's my order.

How can I give you what I haven't got?

How much have you got?

A dollar or so.

Change.

Let's have it.

Buck.

Water.

Are you leaving me without a cent?

I wouldn't do that, Mrs. Holland.

As, uh...

Fifteen cents for L or bus fare.

That makes it a dollar forty from twenty
-six forty.

Make the twenty -five bucks even you owe
me now.

Where am I supposed to get it with this
fifteen cents?

You might try a hawk shop.

That watch ought to be good for a couple
of bucks.

No, I can't do that. I have to have this
watch when my husband gets home.

What time does he come home?

Around five.

Why? I'll be here for the rest of the
money then.

What? That way, if you don't have it, I
can wait a few minutes and get it from

your husband.

Oh, no, listen.

Oh, no, no, you listen, Mrs. Holland.

All I want is my 25 bucks. I don't care
how or where I get it.

See you at a quarter to five.

Mr. Coney!

15th birthday.

Oh, heavens, how do you like that? I
left the house without a cent.

I've got to get downtown right away.

What'll I do if I go back home now? I'll
never make it. Oh, look, why don't I...

Oh, could you? Could you loan me 15
cents? I feel like such a fool.

Oh, it could happen to anybody, miss.
Oh, thank you.

After you, miss.

Oh, no, this is my bus. I have to wait
for number five.

That is able to help us.

Pardon me.

I feel like such a fool, but I realize
I've come out without a cent, and I've

simply got to get downtown right away.

Well, if you'd like to float a little
loan, I think we can arrange it. Oh,

you loan me 15 cents? You're saving my
life.

For 15 cents, I'd call that a bargain.

Oh, pardon me.

Yes? I feel like such a fool, but I seem
to have left the house without any

money, and I've simply got to catch the
next bus downtown.

I was wondering if I could impose on
you... Go find a policeman.

That's what they're for.

195 .5.

15.

30.

945.

945.

I didn't make it.

May I help you, please?

I was just looking.

Well, could you tell me the price of
this?

49 .50.

It's lovely, isn't it?

Of course, this is sterling, imported
from Italy.

Oh, Miss Reed, telephone.

Oh, would you excuse me just a moment?
I'll be right back.

Just a second, lady.

What do you want?

I think you'd better come along with me.

What for?

Who are you?

Well, if you want to see the badge, I'll
flash it. But for your sake, let's do

this nice and quiet.

But I... I know. You meant to pay for
that compact in your bag, but you just

forgot.

We can go all through that later.

Now, come on.

Where are you taking me? You ought to
know.

Inside. Look, if you just give me a
chance... Don't get your chance.

Inside, lady.

It was a mistake.

I didn't know what I was doing.

You see, I'm in trouble and I... You're
in trouble, all right.

Here, please. Will you take this? I
don't want it. I don't want it either,

except as evidence.

But I'm not a thief.

You've got to believe me. I've never
taken anything in my life and I never

again. Save it. I've heard the whole
record before. But it's true.

I only did this because I was desperate.

Well, I need some money. I don't know
where to get it. So you stole a compact,

tag 4950.

Well, that shouldn't get you more than
30 days.

You can save that, too.

Next, you'll be giving me your sob
story. Which is it, the sick mother?

I have to have $25 by 5 o 'clock.

What for?

To pay a bet before my husband finds
out.

Oh, finds out what?

I've been gambling on the horses.

Oh, pony player, huh?

What happens if he finds out?

He'll leave me.

And that's bad, hmm?

How much do you say you need? Twenty
-five?

Well, I have about five, maybe a little
over. So you only need twenty by five o

'clock, hmm?

Well, you've still got a couple of
hours.

You mean you'll let me go?

You want me to give you a break?

Please.

Okay, dollface, maybe I will.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I never know how to thank you.

Well, if you put your mind to it, I'm
sure we can figure out a way.

What? You know, you're cute, dollface.

Your husband ever tell you that?

What do you think you're doing?

Helping you out of a jam.

But you're not out of it yet, dollface.
You still need 20 bucks, right?

That's okay.

I got 20 bucks.

There.

Now all you gotta do is be agreeable.

What are you, anyway?

What do you think?

You're not arresting me.

This is just a trick. Come on, now,
honey, be smart. I may not be a cop, but

you're still in trouble, and I can help
you if you'll let me. I don't want your

help. Oh, come on, now, be nice.

Here, let me out of here. Pretend I'm
your husband.

Yes? Police officers.

Is this your purse?

It's got your name and address in it.

Yes, it's mine.

Do you have any idea where you lost it?

Do you mind if we come in?

What made you run away?

Well, I don't know.

The shock of the accident. It must have
shaken me up.

I didn't know what I was doing.

Are you hurt?

No, no, no, no.

The driver, is he all right? A
concussion, but he'll be okay.

Well, here it is.

You want to take a look and see what's
inside?

No. $25 .15, right?

$25? It was a $20 bill on the floor
alongside the compact.

Compact?

Did you just buy it? I see it's still
got the price tag on it.

No, take it back.

What? Well, it's not mine.

Well, we'll take it back to the store.

They probably got a record on who bought
it.

You sure you're okay now? Oh, yes.

That about wraps it up, I guess.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hello again. It's me.

Quarter to five, right on the dot, like
I said.

Come in, Mr. Cooney.

I'm sorry I can't ask you to sit down,
but I expect my husband back in a few

minutes, and I'd like to keep this just
between you and me.

So, here's your money.

You actually got it?

Actually, Mr. Cooney, I told you I
always manage to pay my debts.

There's $20 and $5 in change.

I think you'll find there's 15 cents
extra, but you can keep that for Ellen

Fair.

Mrs. Holland, you're a wonder.

How'd you do it?

Oh, now, please, Mr. Cooney, I told you
I expect my husband back, and you

understand. Oh, of course, the last
thing in the world I'd want to do is

embarrass you.

You know, especially now that you're a
customer back in good standing again.

Oh, which reminds me, you still have
time to place the bet in the last race.

Not me, Mr. Cooney.

I'm through.

I've learned my lesson.

Never again. I'd rather die first.

It's been nice knowing you, Mr. Cooney,
but goodbye forever.

Well, if you ever have the urge to place
two bucks on a good thing, you still

have my number.

Hello?

Well, Ed, darling, where are you?

I was just beginning to wonder why you
weren't home.

You're flying to Washington?

Well, but can't you come home before you
go... No, I see.

I guess you better go right away, hmm?

Of course I'll worry about you.

I always worry about you. Don't you know
that?

I, uh... I worried about you all day
today.

Why?

Because I love you.

Now, tell the pilot to fly safely.

And call me as soon as you get to
Washington, will you?

Flying to Washington.

Mama's boy.

Sure shot.

Washington flyer.

Hello, Mr. Cooney.

This is me again, Mrs. Holland.

Am I still in time for the last race?

Well, I'd like to put two dollars on
Washington Flyer. On the nose!

So much for our story.

I've decided to give up horse racing.

The shirts are much too loud.

Besides, I couldn't go on after the
touching tribute I received.

The horses chipped in and bought me an
automobile.

But the show must go on. You understand,
of course, that all you have seen so

far is merely a prelude to the
extravaganza which follows.

I do wish we had longer commercials.
They are so short that one must be very

agile to get to the kitchen and back.

I know you said that.

Next week we shall be back with another
story, but without the services of my

rude friend.

Until then, good night.
