All language subtitles for Alfred Hitchcock s06e08 O Youth And Beauty!

Good evening and thank you very much.

Naturally, I am pleased to have won the
race.

But I would like to console the losers
with this bit of philosophy.

It matters not who runs the race.

It's how you win.

I have a feeling I wasn't expected to
triumph.

The wreath is size eight and a quarter.

I'll have to take a tuck in it.

And now for the next event.

In the preliminaries, this contestant
made the distance in one minute flat.

Let us hope he can improve that.

doing, Cash?

Looking at the Hudson?

Yeah, it's a funny thing about that
river tonight.

It's flowing backwards.

Backwards?

Yeah, I've been watching it about an
hour.

It's flowing the wrong way.

Oh, you mean the tide's coming up, huh?
No, the whole river's flowing backwards

from New York to Auburn.

Time's flowing right along with it.

What have you been drinking?

Hair tonic.

Get your hand off.

What's the matter?

Look, I'm just sitting here peacefully.
I don't like anybody coming along and

messing up my hair.

Messing up your hair, Cash?

I think you're lucky to have enough to
muss at your age.

When does hubby start the race, Louise?

With Cass. On the veranda?

Cass?

Are you all right?

Oh, darling, you're not going to... Why
did you come out here? Did Jim tell you

something? Please, darling, not tonight.

I'm asking you, what did he say?

Darling, we haven't paid our dues in a
year, and every Saturday night you mess

things up. What do you mean I mess
things up? Honestly, darling, they won't

let us in the club anymore. I don't mess
things up.

Hey, Cash!

Hey, Champ!

What time's the race, boy?

There isn't going to be a race tonight,
Jim.

Hey, no race tonight, fellas.

Boy, I never thought I'd see this sad
day coming.

The champion races no more.

Cash, don't say anything. Just don't
answer them. Now the slob, his wife has

pick him up with a car every night. He
can't even walk up, shake it. Darling,

don't let them tease you.

What's the matter, Cash?

Have you lost your wind?

Fellas, I'm afraid that age has gotten
the better of our champ. Yay, champ!

Yay, champ!

Yay, champ!

Team, team, team!

I know what he needs. He needs another
drink. Hey, I'll get you started.

No, thanks, Jim. Not tonight.

What? It's your favorite drink.

I'm not taking the hurdles tonight.

That's right.

We're leaving now.

Hey, wait a minute, champ. It's gin and
tonic. And when I say tonic, you know

what I mean, champ?

I mean pure hair tonic.

All right, Jim.

So you make three times the money I do.

So you can pay your bills and I can't.
But you can't stand the fact that I was

once a champion. Who can't, Bill? And
I'm still healthy and I'm not getting

like the rest of you.

Ah, cut it out, will ya?

I just wanted a hurdle race.

I love a hurdle race.

All right, you'll get a hurdle race!

Attention,

everybody!

Cash is gonna jump!

Okay, gang, let's get everything
organized.

They're the fourth time for the hurdle
race.

If you want a race, I'll give you a
race. All right.

And I expect you to beat your best time
tonight.

See the whites of your eyes.

That was the best turtling I ever did
see.

Here's your coat, champ.

Wait a minute.

I haven't finished yet.

Finished what?

What I started out to do.

Don't forget your gun, Cash.

Mrs. Bentley, is that you?

Yes, Kathy.

Kathy, I hope he didn't scare you, did
we? Oh, not at all. I was just making

sure. Hello, Mr. Bentley. Hello, Eric.
Hello, Eric.

Oh, Kathy, are the children all right?
Oh, fine. They went right to sleep.

Did you close the window in your
bedroom?

Yes, I did. I thought I got chili in
there. Oh, good.

It's hard to ask you. Do you think
you'll be free next weekend?

Yes, Saturday evening.

Oh, well, I'm not definitely sure about
it yet, but if I call you in a little

bit a week, will that be all right?
Fine. I'll keep it open for you. Oh,

Thank you, darling.

Are you working for anyone else? Yes, I
am.

I'm working for...

You sure got a fine collection of
trophies, Mr. Bentley.

Thanks. Mr. Bentley, I ran those films
of you winning the Intercollegiate.

Mrs. Bentley gave me permission.

Sure. They're pretty old.

Eric, Kathy's waiting.

Good night, Mrs. Bentley. Good night.

Good night, dear. Good night.

Never smile again.

Until I smile at you, I'll never love
again.

You know those Russian ballet dances
that jump so high?

I'll bet I could have been one of those,
huh?

I spoke to the doctor about
straightening Jody's teeth.

I don't think we can do it now. It costs
too much.

All right.

I know.

Money.

I suppose you wish you were married to
Jim.

Then you'd have three times as much
money.

You'd have a slob, but you'd have money.

Did you put the cat out?

No, I didn't. Give me time.

What were you doing?

I was dancing.

Since I'm not allowed to hurdle anymore,
I thought I might be allowed a dance

step or two before I die.

Why do you want to keep me from
hurdling? Hurdling's my life.

Listen, Cash, that means how much you
want to jump over the dining room table

every morning.

You think I can't?

I said, do you think I can't jump over
the dining room table?

Yes, of course you can.

What about the sofa?

Yes, of course you can.

And the hedge?

Yes. Your five -foot hedge at the patio?
Yes. You think I can jump over that?

Yes, yes, yes.

You mean you really have gut faith in
your husband? Well, sit down and watch.

Cass, you can't be serious.

is the course.

Over this table, over this chair, into
the patio, around the pool, over the

hedge, back around the pool, over that
chair, and we'll end up right here.

Cash, if you do this, I'll never talk to
you again.

You worried about my heart?

You'll get the insurance.

Cash, I beg you.

On your mark.

I'll call the doctor.

I

never

told you it wasn't a serious break. In a
sense, all breaks are serious.

And after we get to a certain age, they
tend to become more serious.

Tell me honestly, Doc.

Will I walk again?

Of course you'll walk again.

Will I run again? Yes, you'll run again.

What kind of an answer is that?

What do you mean?

Well, the tone of your voice belies the
words. I didn't say you were going to

run from here to San Francisco.

Will I... Will I hurdle again?

No, of course you won't hurdle again.

It's an idiotic question because you
never should have been hurdling in the

first place.

You're not a kid anymore.

Okay, Doc.

So I'm not a kid anymore.

I'll just take your advice and grow up
and die.

Well, it's something we all have to
face.

I told him I'd take the cast off before
long.

But he's got to be very careful.

Thank you, Doctor.

Goodbye.

or some Saturday night.

Why don't we go to parties anymore?

Stop everyone that comes into the house.

They did have a party. I don't see why
they'd have to invite us.

You're trying to know a bitter woman.

What are they going to do, dance all
night?

Teenagers. How stupid can you get?

Perhaps.

Just having a little fun.

Well, that's more than I am.

Cash?

Cash, it's the Blackwoods. They want us
to go to the club.

What for? We don't even belong anymore.

Well, they do. They want us to be their
guests.

How nice.

How Jim Dandy.

I wonder why they're being so nice.

Maybe he's going to tell me I'm fired.
Cash, they're on the phone. What shall I

tell them?

Tell them sure.

Sure Cash wants to come.

He's going to do the hurdles for them.

Well, you wanted to go, didn't you?

Good night, sweetheart.

On your mark.

Get set.

Bang!

Ye cash, ye champ, ye team. Got the
books to sign them off, huh? Sure thing.

On your mark, get set, go!

Question four.

What did Wordsworth mean when he said,
The thought of death rests easy on the

man who has been born and dies among the
mountains.

Please be careful, Kat.

What's the matter? Don't you think I can
walk?

Hello, Kat. Good evening, Mrs. Bentley.

Hello, Eric.

Hello, Mrs. Bentley.

Is everything all right? Fine.

I'm sorry. Where were you? Well, that's
all right. Tomorrow I'll see you.

I'll go to church, but not till 11.

Good night, Ed. Good night, Mr. Bentley.

Good night, Ed. Good night, Mr. Bentley.

You're coming now, dear?

You go ahead. I want to look at
something.

Cat? What are you doing?

The darn cat goes under the sofa. I
can't catch it.

Are you moving the furniture?

I'm not going to do it.

I'm a hurdle.

I'm going to hurt.

Now you fight.

I'll never fight again.

I'll say on your mark.

Get set.

And you fight.

Yes, I won't.

Just pull the trigger.

On your mark.

Get set.

Come on, I can't wait all night.

On your mark.

Get set.

Yes.

I don't know how to do it.

That little lever.

Just push that little lever, then you
can pull the trigger.

On your mark.

Yes?

That is known as domestic skeet
shooting, with live skeet.

I see another commercial is coming up.
It's amazing what you see when you don't

have a gun.

By the way, tonight's story has inspired
something new and exciting in track

meets.

Spectators are sold pistols.

instead of popcorn, but the bag is
limited to three hurdlers per person.

I'm told it adds a great deal of zest to
the sport.

Next week, we shall continue our study
of the strange byways of American

folklore. Until then, good night.

Up next, he's an innovator, an
iconoclast, and an ever -energetic lover

women. Good for him. He's Bertolt
Brecht, and he's featured on Writer
