All language subtitles for Alfred Hitchcock s07e23 Profit-Sharing Plan

Good evening and happy birthday.

I'm somewhat afraid to cut this cake.

The last time I attempted that, a young
lady stepped out. It was extremely

unnerving, especially since it was
obvious she was no lady.

However, there's little chance of a
recurrence of that memorable event, for

celebration is a more formal one. The
company is commemorating my many years

servitude.

This time, they will probably give me
blackbirds.

While I'm cutting this, I believe my
employer wishes to make a short speech

present us with a story.

Well, Mr. Cheever, somebody told me
today's your last day. Is that right?

Well, I just wanted to wish you good
luck.

Oh. I mean, in case I don't see you
later. Well, thank you. That's very nice

you.

I say they got you working right up to
the end, huh?

Well, business is business.

Yeah. That's what they tell me.

Take care now.

Surprise! Surprise!

You didn't think we'd let you get away
without a party, did

you? No, sir, Miles.

After all, you've been with us for 20
years.

Oh, well, I thought you wanted these
papers, Mr. Darcy. Oh, that was just a

trick to get you out of the office.

We've been planning this all week.

Well, shouldn't I file them?

Look at him.

I wish the rest of you were this
conscientious.

Just put them in there on my desk,
Miles. They're not important.

All right, sir.

Now, we need some ice cubes. Will you
get those?

Please hand Miss Lemon the cup and the
scotch out of the filing cabinet.

Come on, Miles.

What's keeping you?

You're the guest of honor.

I'll be right there, Mr. Doherty.

And you just come right over here and
get you a drink.

Don't drink it all at once.

Well, everybody got a drink?

Good, good.

Miles, you sit right down over here.

Sit here next to me.

There.

You know, I'm really going to miss you.

Uh -huh. Now it comes out.

Admit it.

You and Miss Lemon have been carrying on
behind our backs.

No, honestly, I mean, I'm a married man.

Oh, all the good ones are taken.

Well, people, I'd just like to say a few
words, and I promise I'll make them

brief.

The end of an era is not a time for
speeches.

It's a time for thought.

And when Miles Cheever leaves this
office today, it will be the end of an

A time for all of us here at Cumberland,
Inc.

to take stock of ourselves and of our
company.

Say this to you, Miles.

A toast to your 20 years of loyal
service.

We're really going to miss you, fella.

Please, please, please, come on.

I don't know what to say.

Oh, look, he's blushing.

You don't have to say anything, Miles.
Your work speaks for itself.

And now I'd like to present you with a
little token of our esteem.

When did I put that? Rudy had it.

Oh, Rudy.

Thank you, Rudy.

Here you are, Miles.

A little going -away present from all of
us.

What this is very nice out here open it

We

thought

you might want to write your memoirs
someday This is very nice

read the card

To Mr. Cheever from the gang at the
office, well, gee, thank you. I

appreciate it.

Nothing at all, nothing at all.

Well, it's almost closing time.

Miles, best of luck to you. Thank you,
sir.

You'll keep in touch?

Oh, yes, sir.

Fine, fine.

Well, the rest of you aren't retiring
today, so...

I'll see you all on Monday morning.

Bye. Bye.

And then what happened?

Well, then, Mr. Daugherty made a speech
about how my leaving marked the passing

of an era. It was really quite
embarrassing.

And then we had drinks.

Out of paper cups, of all things.

It sounds like Mr. Dougherty.

He probably made everyone chip in.

It wouldn't surprise me if you deducted
a party from your paycheck.

Maybe it did.

I can't believe you say give a banquet
when a man retires.

It's a special occasion.

To hire a room in a hotel.

To have a dinner.

Did they give you a gift at least?

Is that all?

That's all.

Well, he didn't even have your name
engraved on it.

Engraving costs money.

Not even a wristwatch.

I think it's a shame.

Imagine, after all those years, and this
is what they think of you.

You were nothing but a cog in a machine,
Miles.

Someone who just took up space in an
office.

Well, they're not going to get away with
it.

We'll show them, won't we?

Yes, I agree.

After all, how do they expect people to
live on the pensions they pay?

Impossible. Of course it is.

In the old days, I thought that when you
retired, we should take a nice long

drive across the country.

You've always wanted to travel, and I
was hoping we could stop by in

See my sister.

But now, I realize that's not enough.

After all those years of work, you
deserve much more.

I suppose I do.

You're a man who appreciates the good
things in life.

There's only one way to get them.

Isn't that right, Miles?

Well.

Well, I better get started.

More coffee?

No, thanks.

Might as well get it over with.

Yes, you're right. No sense putting
things off, is there?

How long do you think you'll be?

Not more than an hour.

Bye, dear. You better wear your coat.
It's getting chilly.

I'll be all right.

There certainly is a lot of money.

How much do you suppose there is?

Well, I haven't counted it yet.

It's quite a nest egg.

Did you have trouble at the office?

Not at all.

I must say, Miles, I've been looking
forward to our financial independence.

You worked hard for it, and you deserve
it.

Thank you, Digger.

I suppose there'll be a great hullabaloo
tomorrow morning when they discover the

money missing.

But if we just sit tight, time will take
care of everything.

Of course, it means that we can't visit
my sister as soon as we plan to, but

it's worth the waiting.

Now, I'll go and finish things up, and
then we can count the money together.

All right.

Bladewinds, it's flight 106. Leave you
on schedule.

Eleven. Thank you.

Dear, I'm going to run down to the
drugstore. I need a few things.

All right, dear.

Do you have enough money?

I don't think so.

I'm here.

Oh, I'll be right out.

I had it all ready for you.

Thank you, my dear.

Nice and cold.

Hey.

He didn't even kiss me.

Everything work out all right?

Everything is lovely.

But we better drink up and get started.

Can I go like this?

Well, I would have preferred something
more conservative, but there isn't time

to change now.

You can wear your coat.

How was it today?

Oh, same as usual.

Except for a pathetic little retirement
party.

Mr. Doherty told me how much he was
going to miss me.

He's going to miss a lot of things
Monday morning.

So will your wife.

Never mind her.

The house is paid for.

A few thousand in the bank should be all
right.

Well, what can we drink to?

To Hawaii and to us.

No,

I still can hardly believe it. Well,
it's true.

Tonight we balance the books. Close out
one life and begin another.

Sounds wonderful.

I just wish I could take some things
with me.

No, indeed, I told you, not even a
toothbrush.

No, but all my beautiful dress.

You'd buy a whole new wardrobe.

Even a mink coat?

If your heart said I'm a mink, I'll make
it, you'll be.

Oh, Miles, I can hardly wait.

How much money was in it, say?

than all we'll ever need.

Thanks to Mr. Doherty.

We better go.

We don't want to miss that plane.

You ready?

Attention, please.

Flight 502 now loading at gate 5.

You want this loaded on board, sir?

No, I'll take it with me, thank you.
Flight 106 is leaving in a few minutes.

Enjoy your trip. Thank you.

Attention, please.

Flight 106 now departing at gate 7.
Immediate departure.

Last call for flight 106.

Now leaving immediately.

Good evening. How are you?

I'm sorry. There's no luggage.

Over the seats. I'll put it in the back.
Oh, no, no, no. It'll be safe there.

I'll just hang on to it if you don't
mind.

Excited? Oh, I think I'll sleep a wink
tonight.

Plenty of time for that.

A few hours, we'll be in Hawaii.

I'm glad they made it a state.

Means we don't have to go through
customs.

That was clever.

I'm terribly sorry, sir, but this is in
the way. I'll put it in the back for

you.

Oh, but miss... Are you worried

too much?

I suppose I do.

Why don't you just relax?

Now, once we get to Hawaii, I'm going to
make you lie and...

Done for a week.

Won't be long now.

Right on schedule.

Funny the motor's stopping.

Oh, now don't tell me there's gonna be
delay.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the
stewardess. Due to some slight

difficulty, we will be unable to take
off on schedule.

Oh, no.

Why does something like this always have
to happen?

Will you please leave the plane by the
rear door and go to the waiting room

until further notice? Thank you.

I'm going to be grounded for hours.

Are you going to be all right?

What can we do?

Just a few.

Just a few minutes to leave.

Isn't this terrible?

Gate 5.

How long is flight 106 going to be
delayed?

We don't know, sir. That's hard to say.

But it's been half an hour already.
What's the problem?

Just a few mechanical difficulties, sir.
Nothing serious.

Attention, please. Flight 101 now
arriving at gate 10.

Where have you been?

I was out on the observation deck, and I
saw policemen getting on the plane.

Policemen?

Two of them, and some other men as well.

Well, you don't think they found out
anything, do you?

Impossible.

Now, what's happened to Flight 106?

I told you, sir, just some minor
difficulty. Well, I don't believe it.

happened? What is it?

Really, sir, you're not going to believe
it? Don't really, sir, me. There were

policemen on that plane.

Now, why?

Do you want me to go to your superior?

All right, sir, I'll tell you.

We got a crank phone call.

It happens every once in a while.
Something about a bomb on the plane.

A bomb?

There's no truth to it, of course. But
they have to check.

As soon as they're finished, you'll be
taking off.

Just a bomb?

Yes, sir.

Well, thanks for telling me.

How much longer will it take them?

Another 10, 15 minutes.

They have to search the luggage.

Search the luggage?

Yes, sir. Just normal, Picard.

Mr. Cheever?

Police.

We'd like to ask you a few questions.

Hello? Tradewinds Airlines?

I called you before about that bomb on
Flight 106.

Well, there isn't any bomb.

Never mind who this is.

Just tell them it was a joke.

It was all a joke.

In all my years of employment, I have
never missed a show nor been late for a

performance. I occasionally step out for
a breath of air during the commercial,

but there are limits to what even a
company man can endure.

This unmatched record of loyalty has so
moved my sponsor that he has

granted me the rest of the evening off.

This struck him as the ideal gift, being
both appropriate and cheap.

In my place after the commercial, you
will see a bit of film, taken when I

joined the firm.

I am certain you will find it
interesting.

Oh, by the way, Mr. Cheever had the last
laugh at his wife's expense.

for she was subsequently prosecuted for
creating a bomb scare.

That is all for this evening.

Until next week, at the same time, good
night.
