All language subtitles for Alfred Hitchcock s04e23 Ill Take Care Of You

Good evening, television viewers.

Before we continue with tonight's motion
picture, allow me to call your

attention to some of the bargains
available in our used rocket division

Honest Alfreds.

All our rockets are late one -owner
models with very low mileage.

In fact, some never even got off the
ground.

They are also simple to operate,
provided you know how to count to one.

Listen to these typical bargains. A
vanguard rocket complete with extras.

This exceptional bargain traveled only
250 miles before

falling into the water off Cape
Canaveral.

Or perhaps you'd be interested in a late
model Thor.

which still has the original mouse in
its nose cone.

But now for our movie. It is a one
-minute condensation of a

1935 hit.

How was the party, John?

It was expensive, that's how it was.

It's a good thing we only have an
anniversary once a year.

I wonder what there is to celebrate
anyway.

It don't pay to get excited, John. Who's
excited?

My wife acted perfectly normal. You
could hear her purr through the whole

performance like a rattlesnake in a
small paper bag.

Get me some water, Dad.

And when the party's over out at the
country club, I walk out into the lobby

just as nice as you please, and I say to
the manager, send me the bill. Just as

simple as that.

But not for Dorothy.

Why don't you pay the man now, she says.

What are we, a couple of paupers, John?
Right in front of everybody.

I could have killed her right there.

I could have stuffed her big mouth with
that $60 hand of hers.

That's $1 ,000 I could have turned over
on this lot two or three times before I

even got the bill.

I'll go get some hamburgers, John.

What do I want with hamburgers? I just
had lamb chops for $482.

Nice cup of coffee, John? You always
feel better with a nice cup of coffee.

Yeah, I guess so.

Look at this one here.

No, no, no, no. Nice paint job, huh?

Yeah, what's that got to do with what we
want it for? What's wrong with it? It's

empty. It's too loose.

That's nice.

Very nice.

Okay, how about this one here?

Look, it's too much money.

You're a drag.

Hey, this is real nice. It's wonderful,
and it's beautiful, but what are you

going to pay for it with?

Okay, all right.

Come here, look at this one. This is
nice.

Low down payment. Can I help you, Paul?

Oh, you're Mr. Forbes. My name is
Lester. I'm from the City College.

friend Harry. Hi, Harry. Hey, we're
throwing kind of a bazaar. You know what

mean? A carnival. And you want me to
take a chance on an automobile.

Look, I've got 182 cars on the lot now.

No, we were looking for an old jalopy.

One you could hit with a sledgehammer.

For what?

Like, you know, three shots for a
quarter, man. You know, dynamo.

Guys like to show how strong they are.
That's just another human failing, sir.

The occasional need to destroy.

See, our psychology prof suggested it
for our carnival. He said the quarters

would be bound to roll in.

How much you got to spend?

Oh, we got $50.

Half a yard.

That's about enough to buy four used
tires if there's any rubber left on them

all. Never mind the car to go with it.
Oh, sir, this is a very important

to us.

We're going to give a small donation to
our library fund.

You can't make it cultural.

Yeah, very uplifting.

You'll be a patron of the arts.

Well, come back Friday. I'll see if I
can't find some loan for you to use. Oh,

hey.

You're all right, Mr. Forbes. Hey, sit
around like a donut, huh?

Nice kids, but lunatics.

They want something low they can pound
into junk with a sledgehammer.

Eh, just one of those things.

Enough sugar in here?

If I tell them to take their lousy 50
bucks and go buy a pair of roller

then I lose the college trade. So what
are you going to do?

If I'm not here Friday when they come
back, give them that green .48 coupe,

one with the transmission gone.

I couldn't unload that for more than 80
bucks anyway.

I'd be just as well off if I wholesale
everything on this lot and got out of

this business once and for all.

What's in it for me?

Oh, don't worry, Dad. I wouldn't be
dumping you.

My wife costs me more in that beauty
parlor every week than you get in your

whole pay envelope.

It ain't easy at my age, John. Nobody
wants to take you on when you're this

Not that I can't be useful.

Not that I don't move around like I was
only half my age.

I know. I heard you.

I'll take care of you.

Just forget what I said, Dad.

You got nothing to worry about.

Oh, Dad, your wife is here with your
lunch.

Hello, Mr. Farr.

Now, what does a nice old gal like that
have to wait outside for?

Kitty? Yeah, why don't you ever ask her
in?

Kitty don't like to come in the office
during business hours, John.

Don't mix business with pleasure, Kitty
and I always say.

Pleasure after 47 years?

Kitty needs to write these days.

Getting old, you know.

But her and I would get along pretty
good.

Excuse me, John.

You looking for John, Mrs. Forbes?

Yes. He's in the office.

Do you always call him John?

Yes, ma 'am.

Excuse me.

A trip to New Zealand to see your cousin
Nan.

The day after our anniversary party, I
have to get hit with that.

There's no use in raising your voice,
John.

I've already called the travel agency,
and I'm determined to get away.

Then you just get down off that high
-octane horse and call the agency back.

Tell them your husband can't afford a
trip to New Zealand.

And keep your big mouth shut about this
till you find friends in the country

club.

I'm telling you, Dorothy, the answer is
no.

If you advertise it that you're going
and then you don't, they'll think I've

money problems.

I can't afford that now when business is
slow.

First thing you know, the bank will
tighten up on me.

Thanks for the suggestion.

What suggestion?

The value of publicity, darling.

I'll let you figure that one out.

Oh, Zealand.

I'll get her a one -way ticket right out
of Cape Canaveral.

Zoom!

She's got her pants right off the man on
the moon.

Did you ever hear of a woman like that?
With me and Hop and things so slow in

the lot?

I've got to cut expenses.

Who am I working for anyway? The country
club? The department stores? The

steamship lines?

I'd be better off collecting a salary
from some other poor slob. For motor

fails.

You got a walk?

A 53 coupe, nice and clean?

Well, that's exactly what you told me
about that mobile hen coupe you tried to

unload on me last week.

All right, we'll be over, Murph.

But I'll tell you right now, I wouldn't
give you more than five bills for a 53

if you loaded it with blondes.

Okay.

That was Eddie Murphy. They took a 53
coupe on a trade.

Go over and pick it up.

I've got to get back to the house before
the Empress takes off with the country

club and starts to blab about New
Zealand.

That's all I need.

Oh, if that car's any good, bring it on
out to the house.

Take the car over to the garage and have
them check the universal joint.

I can hear it clanking all the way over.
You need gas, John.

I've got enough to take me home.

Okay.

All right, so I'm a slob without the
social graces.

I'm a meatball married to a dime store
queen.

Why do you bother changing?

If you're going to act like an
orangutan, you might as well look like

I'm asking you for the last time to get
your car out of the driveway. It's

blocking mine.

And I'm telling you for the last time,
you're not going there alone.

Any speeches made at the country club
tonight will be made by me.

And if you so much as open your mouth
about that cruise to New Zealand, I'll

tell them you haven't got the price to
take a tin canoe up McCluskey's Creek.

Good evening, Mrs. Borg.

You come back here!

I'm sorry for your troubles, John.

It ain't my business, understand, but
it's not the way a woman should act.

all I told her, after everything I
said... Get her out of the gas in that

like I told you it was almost dry.

Let her run out of gas.

I hope she has a six -mile hike in her
open -toed shoes.

Oh, I better pick her up. Pour yourself
a drink and watch TV.

I'll be 20 minutes, maybe half an hour.

Well, I'm back. I didn't see my wife.

Pour me a drink.

I had an accident.

Did you hear what I said? I had an
accident.

Anybody hurt much, John? You run into a
car?

No, it wasn't a car. It was somebody
walking out on Mosley Road.

A person's got no right to be walking
after a dark along the road like that.

You better take that car right back to
the lot now.

We were here all night, right in this
room. Just the two of us.

We were watching TV, understand?

Come on.

Don't put the lights on yet.

Come in.

Funny how it got busted.

I don't know if somebody threw a rock at
me or if a bear jumped out and bit a

hole in it.

You know what I mean?

I've got a pair of 53 headlights on the
lot.

You take care of this, Dad, and I'll
take care of you.

I figured you'd take care of me, John.

You told me that before.

Sorry to bother you at this time, Mr.
Ford. Well, that's all right. I

you fellows have your jobs to do.

Look, is that the one over there, Pop?

Man, that must be the car. Oh, wow.

It didn't take three years to knock the
fenders off a tree.

Come on, how about it, Pop?

The fenders off of this. Come on, how
about it, Pop?

No, boys, not this one.

Got a souped -up motor and overdrive.
The boss has got a couple of parties in.

Oh, you're kidding.

Now, come along. I'll show you.

What do you got in your mind, Todd?
Well, now, look.

Take this one.

For 50 bucks? You're kidding.

The rear end of the transmission is
shot. Now, the boss says if you take it

now, you're going to have it for your
carnival.

Thanks, Bob. Thanks a lot.

Hey, I'll grab your... We estimate

that

your wife was knocked about 30 feet into
that clumpy shrubbery, Mr. Forbes.

Hit and run, you figure?

Yes and no.

Whoever it was sure ran.

there were some interesting tire tracks
along the shoulder of the road.

Someone could have taken dead aims.

Do you think that's possible?

Anything is possible, Mr. Ford.

But we checked the tire tracks.

They don't match those of your car or
your wife.

Come on, get it going.

Hey, Pops. You know what's the matter?

This thing won't run. The battery's
dead. Oh, there's nothing the matter.

get going, that's all, and back it out
of here. Come on, Lester. Give me a job.

Try it again.

I understand that you were home last
night.

Yes, that's right. I was home all night.

Was anyone with you?

Yes, Dad was.

He's the man that works for me.

He came over a little while after my
wife left.

What for?

To keep me company.

Have a couple of drinks.

I'm not much for the country club.

All right, Mr. Forbes.

I guess that's all for now.

Thanks for your help. That's all right.

Is that the right mileage on this 56?

One thing we never do is change the
speedometer.

Not a bad buy at that price.

Hey, Buck.

Where were you last night?

Me? I was out with John.

What time were you there?

Oh, after 5 .30. I guess I stayed till
10 o 'clock.

What did you do out there?

Oh, we had some drinks and watched some
television.

Two westerns and a giveaway.

Come on, Lex, give me a shot. John's
very nice about those things. I had a

chicken leg, some olives, and a half box
of candy.

Was Mr. Forbes there all night?

Sure he was there. He and me together.
We had a ball.

Okay, come on. Come on.

All right,

Pop. Thanks.

I may call on you later to make an
official.

Charlie?

You think it went all right? It went
better than that, Dad.

Don't worry, I'll take care of you.

I have to get back to the undertaker
now. Make it look good with the

You don't have to worry about that car
no more.

I don't?

Them college boys is just here.

They just bought that problem for 50
bucks.

I keep it, Dad.

Why do you think I got it for you?

How much was it?

Never mind how much you want.

It didn't steal it, did you?

No.

Here,

come on, come on.

It's a nice carnival, huh?

Yes, it is.

Mr. Forbes was very nice to me when I
see you this afternoon.

He said you don't have to worry anymore
about your job.

John said that, huh?

Well, I guess that's the least he could
say now.

Bye. Mr. Forbes gave me ten dollars.

Ten dollars for what?

He said we might have a real nice time
at the carnival. I thought maybe we

eat here tonight.

At the carnival, Dad.

Well, maybe we will.

Come inside and see the death car. Only
50 cents. Three shots for 50 cents.

All right, folks, come on, gather
around. You only get three shots for a

rock now. Come on, step inside.

Come on, shake the angel cake out of
your blood. Come on, see how strong you

are. Step up. Come on inside.

You know, maybe the last chance you'll
ever have to see that death car.

Well, let's go inside. Come on, that
way. Come on inside. Come on in now.

on, 50 cents. Only 50 cents. Three shots
for 50 cents. Come on, come on inside.

Come on, get out of here.

Thank you very much. Who'll be next?
Step right up, sir. Step right up, sir.

Thank you, sir. Roll your sleeve up a
little higher so the ladies can see that

pretty tattoo.

This may be modern man's last chance to
strike back at the Industrial

Revolution, so right this man's own.

to worry about that car no more.

You couldn't tell us from a plate of
pizzas.

You didn't talk to anybody about it, did
you? Who, me?

Why would I talk?

After all, we're kind of partners now.

You know what I mean?

No, what do you mean?

I mean, I wouldn't want to mention that
busted headlight, except a man my age,

he's got to be practical.

Yeah, I suppose that's true.

You said you'd take care of me.

You told me you would.

Listen, John, I never said a word to a
soul.

All right, Pop.

Carnival's over.

You better come with us. You fellas are
kidding, huh?

Yeah, that's right, Pop.

We're playing a game.

The same as you were Wednesday night
when you ran over Mrs. Forbes on Mosley

Road.

I'm telling you, fellas, I was out of
your house. We had some drinks and we

watched a show. No, Pop.

You got there after Mrs. Forbes left.

You saw her walking along the shoulder
of the road. And you knocked her off

a ten pin.

He did it.

He killed her.

He didn't give away a $500 crate for 50
bucks, Pop.

Not so that some crazy kids could whack
it into junk.

We checked with the boys at the college.

But I'm telling you, he hated her.
You've got to listen to me. We're not

checking into Mr. Forbes' love life,
Pop.

The fact of the matter is, he didn't
have a broken headlight hidden in his

house. At least, not one that matched
the glass we found on Mosley Road.

Come on, Pop.

Get in!

Get in!

Get in!

Did you hear Dad?

Was he calling me?

Oh, I'm not sure. He might have been.

He's been a good husband to me, Dad has.

We ate out tonight, the two of us.

I want to thank you for the $10, Mr.
Forbes.

That headlight you asked me about today,
I never asked him why he had it hid.

I get so nervous at night when I can't
find Dad.

Would you take care of him?

I'm sorry to say that Honest Alfred's
Cold War surplus store has been forced

close. Our buyers just didn't keep up
their monthly payments, and it was

difficult for us to get in touch with
them after they got into orbit.

Here is news from a more successful
entrepreneur, after which I shall

By the way, those of you who witnessed
tonight's crime will be glad to learn

that the party who perpetrated it has
been justly punished.

I refer not to the recent commercial,
but to John Forbes' murder of his wife.

When I last heard, the person
responsible for the commercial was still

The big ones always get away.

Next week I shall be back with another
story.

Until then...

Good night.
