All language subtitles for Alfred Hitchcock s05e05 No Pain

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and
welcome to tonight's program of

boxing matches.

In this corner, for tonight's main
event, we have Stephen Forbush

and his opponent, Mrs. Stephen Forbush.

As you know, these two are traditional
rivals, having met many times before for

the middle class championship of the
world.

As you may have noticed, I'm quite at
home in the ring.

For me, boxing is very easy.

It's lifting my hand above my head after
I've won that I find difficult.

It's much too strenuous.

But so much for the preliminaries. Now
for the main event.

Cindy?

Cindy?

I'm right here, darling.

Why the hat?

Oh, for laughs mostly.

Arnold rented a little sailing boat from
a high school boy. It's hardly bigger

than the top of two.

That's very cute.

Ever occur to you Arnold's no high
school boy?

Oh, really, Dave?

Arnold's been very thoughtful and kind.

I know. Never mind, stupid finger.

You have a nice tail.

Bye -bye, darling. Bye.

Cindy? Yes?

You be back for dinner?

Of course.

I can't see you.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I was just wondering, you know, how
delicate you're, Mike.

You want to ask Arnold back?

For dinner?

Well, beachcombers have to eat, don't
they?

Besides, I think the guy's got charm.

This is fair share, if he must know.

I'll ask him.

I think he'd be pleased.

Fix the mirror?

Yes, sir.

Wait a minute.

That's fine. Very good.

Not many sailing today.

No, not many sailing.

Mr. Ramey?

Yes?

Mr. Ramey?

I was wondering if this might be a good
time to take you out of the respirator.

For what?

Well, we managed seven minutes so easily
yesterday.

Dr. Fabry told me on the phone we could
increase it to eight or nine.

I'm not interested now.

I'd rather watch the boats.

Of course, Mr. Adams.

I used to be pretty good with boats.

Pretty good with women, so...

Oh,

come here, Lila.

You talking to me? Yeah, you.

You're shaking like a dollar tambourine.

I'm cold. Give me the towel.

The towel! Yeah, I know.

Oh, it's better.

I've seen more cover on a loaf of bread.
You're funny, aren't you? I would be,

but I haven't got time.

So? Dave, you... This is no time for an
interview.

But people are waiting for us back on
the boat. Who owns the boat?

You do.

I'll let you answer.

What? Because when you own the boat, you
pay for the liquor, and you're the last

guy anybody wants around. That make
sense to you? Mm -hmm, I suppose so.

What are you going to buy next?

You.

That surprise you? I don't suppose so
either.

You gonna marry me and all that?

Yeah, I mean marry and all that.

Hey.

You never talked about marrying me
before. Well, excuse me for bringing it

now.

You know, Dave, you're taking a fright
for a plant.

I'm used to it.

It's the same as betting on the horses
or buying a block of real estate.

Well, Dave, no one ever owned me
completely.

Well, I don't own Florida either.

Just a fair percentage.

I was a mug five years ago.

So what makes you think you've changed?
You and six million dollars in the bank.

How's that, Mr. Ramey?

That's fine dandy, Greg.

Oh, Mr. Ramey?

Yeah?

Mrs. Ramey mentioned that I might have
this evening off.

That is, if it's all right with you.

Nobody asked me.

I see.

Well, Mrs. Ramey said she'd be here
herself.

Naturally, if you want me to, I'll stay.

No, it's perfectly all right, Miss
Collins.

Dave, darling, it was so nice of you to
have Max have everything set up.

It just looks lovely.

We stopped by the kitchen and the
herring's marvelous.

I'm glad you liked it.

Nice of you to ask me, Dave.

Well, it was nice of you to come.

Things get pretty dull here at night.

How was the sailing?

It was fun.

Not much of a boat.

But I will say this, your wife certainly
knows her way around.

Around what?

Around boats, of course.

I'll laugh later and show you how jolly
I can get.

Arnold, would you please make Dave a
martini, double dry?

Double dry.

What's wrong, Dave?

Nothing wrong.

Everything's as gay as Bluebird.

I hear you gave Miss Collins a night
off.

Well, I thought she deserved it.

You don't mind, do you, dear?

Oh, I don't mind a bit. That's nice from
Miss Collins.

Nice for Arnold and nice for everybody.

I was hoping to get the 627 bus to town,
Mrs. Rainey. There's one at midnight

that will bring me back.

I've got Miss Collins.

Arnold, would you mind driving Miss
Collins to the bar?

Oh, please, if it's any bother. No
bother at all. I have to stop at my

anyway to change my clothes.

Just let me remind you, Miss Collins,
there's a crooked bingo game at the

firehouse, and everything costs a nickel
at the Penny Arcade.

After that, you're on your own. I
usually find my way around with the bag,

I'll be careful.

Oh, he's a gay one, isn't he?

I wasn't talking about the Prince of
Monaco.

No, I guess you weren't.

But he does make a wonderful martini.

Yeah.

How many have you had already?

Four or five.

Where? His place?

A martini's a martini. Does it make any
difference where it's consumed?

How long has he had that cottage?

Four or five weeks.

I don't know. He had tried it.

Has he got any money?

$4 .60.

Tell me that this afternoon.

Here.

We've got prospects.

Yeah, I know.

I hope it'll be painless.

Painless?

However you planned it for tonight.

A killing, I mean.

When did your person stay?

Not a matter of suspecting. It's simple
logic.

I figured the odds, knowing the way your
mind works.

You have to be so clinical about it.

You wouldn't think I'd enjoy having to
do it.

You want one of your own? This time,
shall we shave our glass again?

happening now?

Is this the time?

Of course not, darling. I wouldn't be
that clumsy or cruel.

Turn it back on.

What are you doing now?

Nothing more than the doctor prescribed.

Miss Cullen said you could be out with
perfect safety for ten minutes.

Ten minutes to seven.

That's much better, isn't it? We can
talk more comfortably.

You're taking it very well, darling,
aren't you?

It wasn't my fault this horrible thing
had to hit you.

Well, was it?

No, it's not your fault, Cindy.

We had a few good years.

Bet we did.

They were fine, Dave.

Really fine.

Too tough for you now, though.

Too tough the way things stand.

Dave, let's not kid ourselves.

You're more dead than alive.

And you know me.

I was never meant for those nobler forms
of solitaire.

Arnold.

Gonna fix that, huh?

What difference does it make if it's
Arnold, if it's a mailman, if

somebody's Uncle Joe?

Where can you be there?

You're lying there day in and day out.

Like an airtight pound of coffee in a
can.

Well?

Thanks.

You put it so sweetly. I'm not being
mean.

Only practical.

Seriously, Dave.

Remembering how you used to be?

Fighting and forcing your way up from
the shadiest side of things to the

legitimate power you managed to attain.

Seeing you now, I think you'd want to
die.

I'm sorry, Cindy.

I'm not that cooperative.

Could it be any worse than this?

It's bad enough.

It's not that bad.

I'll hang on to what I can keep.

What can you keep?

Plenty.

My mind's not paralyzed.

I can think.

I can read with help.

I can count my money without any help.

I haven't figured out yet why a man with
six million dollars would want to die.

But when he had to fight for it the way
I did.

I can't stand all this moralizing.

Put me back in the lump.

Seriously, Dave.

I wonder if you know how unfair this
whole thing is to me.

Really.

Just try to see my point of view.

I gave as much of myself to you as I
could possibly give to anyone.

And it was wonderful.

It was great.

I'm admitting that.

It's heartening.

Now, to get back to what I was saying,
what else is there

left for me to do?

You mean short of murder?

I wish you wouldn't use that word right
out.

I couldn't up and divorce you, heavens
knows.

First thing anybody would say is, look
at her.

Man's lying there flat on his back, and
she runs off as gaily as you please.

What kind of woman is she?

Now, they do have those reactions.

Isn't that true?

Just put me back in the room.

I told you, darling, it would not be
now.

Where's Arnold?

He went to change his clothes.

I have to take him as Collins to the
bus.

You depend on him a lot, don't you?

Let's not talk about Arnold.

I thought you liked him so much.

I adore him, if you must know.

Sit down.

I don't want to sit down. I feel steady
of standing.

I'll be back in just a minute. I feel
like a mess and I must look like one,

Sandy?

No need to be upset, darling.

Put me back.

You're half drunk.

I'm two -thirds, and I'm doing better
all the time.

Put me back alone.

Just like I said, darling.

Cindy.

Huh?

Oh, of course, darling.

How many drinks did you have?

I think you're so normal.

He knows.

I just told him. All right.

He knows.

All right.

Did you have anything to eat?

Now, how could I be expected to eat and
drink at the same time?

What you need is some air.

We could still go for a swim, couldn't
we?

A what?

A swim, I said. Sober you up and then
have some dinner.

I'd like that, Arnold. You're just so
calm and dependable.

That's what all the girls say, Cindy.

They say it's nice to know they're
dealing with an old, dependable firm.

Oh, I hope you don't think you're too
cheeky of me, old boy.

But I'll have to borrow your trunks.

It's all over, Dave.

They'll find her body tomorrow with the
early change of tide.

Are you sure?

I checked the currents just the way you
told me to.

It was a nice, clean job.

No pain?

No pain at all.

Well, thanks, Arnold. You're always good
at these things.

Less than a trade.

It's like old times, huh, Dave?

I'm glad you came when you got my call.

You'll get your dough in a couple of
weeks.

Just a grand.

Fair enough.

I think I'll have that drink.

Arnold, do you make you any better
offers?

Well, I can't say I wasn't tempted,
Dave.

But as you might have heard me tell her
earlier, I'm an old, reliable firm.

as Cindy's body slowly sinks into the
bay, we take leave of the lovely seaside

setting for our story.

Of course, as it must to all men, the
law caught up with Arnold and Dave.

As for our boxing match, it turned out
to be the shortest fight on record.

They met in the center of the ring, and
it was over faster than you could say,

who was that lady I seen you with last
night?

I think this should be a lesson to all
of us.

Next time we should be back with another
story. Until then, good night.
