All language subtitles for S01E12 - Hangover

Good evening and welcome to the Alfred
Hitchcock Hour.

This object plays an important part in a
new television series we are in the

process of creating.

Since the public, or at least the
producers, relish stories about the

we will soon launch our own series about
World War II.

World War II B .C., that is.

As wars go, I can't say this is a
favourite of mine.

I had hoped to get one with a catchy
title, like the Wars of the Roses or the

Whiskey Rebellion, but of course they
were snapped up long ago.

This trend is not difficult to
understand if you know it is an

that situations are more dramatic and
jokes are funnier if the characters

involved are dressed in uniform.

This explains a large number of shows.

about nurses, maids, butlers, etc.

Naturally, these remarks have nothing at
all to do with tonight's story.

They are only meant to divert your
attention so that our sponsor can sneak

you. And here he is, ready to pounce.

the worst one yet.

Sandy's going to raise.

Like yesterday morning at breakfast.

Hurry up, Hatch. You're late already.

Three times this week.

I feel so lousy.

A little sympathy, huh?

It's your own fault.

You don't have to go through it every
morning.

If I don't, who will?

I couldn't find my lucky necktie, the
one with the... the stripe.

Start your breakfast.

I'll find it.

had, not wine, not first thing in the
morning.

It's cooking, Sherry.

I'm cooking with it.

Old Purvis family recipe.

Hadley Purvis's instant morning joy.

I don't think you're very amusing.

I needed an eye -opener.

There's nothing else around the house.

I suppose not. You managed to drink
everything up the night before.

Here's your tie.

Thank you, my little helpmate.

What would I do without you?

I don't know, but you may have the
chance to find out.

Sandy.

Don't be so serious.

I am serious.

And you should be, too.

You're ruining your life and you're
ruining your career with your drinking.

Now, just a minute.

It's my idea, my campaign the agency's
presenting to the client today.

It's just about your last chance and you
know it.

Pat, I can't take any more of it. You're
drinking and carrying on.

You make me sound like an alcoholic.

You are.

Don't say that. Don't ever say that.

I'm not.

You won't face it, but I have to.

The next time, the very next time you go
on a binge, I'm leaving you. For good.

Sandy.

Oh, come on, don't be so mad.

Sandy?

You can't!

You can't!

Sandy? Well, I should hope not. I'm
marrying.

Where'd you come from?

Nice present, huh?

Sandy didn't bring me.

You did.

You want me to fix you some eggs, honey?

You better get out of here fast before
my wife finds you. Or has she already?

Your old lady?

Why worry?

You weren't worrying last night.

Catch on the rock.

Easy on the rock.

We're closing up. It's close to three.

I won't tell anyone if you don't.

I want a drink.

Get out of here. We don't want any
trouble.

You're a fink.

I'm a fink.

Come on.

Sit him up.

You're a fink.

I'm a fink.

I'll take care of the drunk.

It's all yours.

You're all finks.

I'll buy all fink strings.

Hey. Hey.

Sit him up.

I'll buy all fink strings.

Hello, honey.

Hey, you want a drink?

I'll get you one.

By the bottle.

Lady, you must have pull around this
joint. Just my good luck.

Where are we going?

Let's sit down. We have to be careful
about the drinks.

It's dark in here.

Just be careful. Don't worry. I'll take
care of you.

Now you sound like Sandra.

I don't want to sound like no one except
myself.

What's your name, honey?

Had.

Had?

That's a real mad name. What is it? Had
one, had two, had how many? Had enough.

I didn't mean to make you sore, honey.

You haven't even told me that you like
me yet.

Haven't I?

It's my error.

My oversight.

My loss.

I think you're lovely.

You're gorgeous. You're adorable. You're
desirable.

You're the eternal woman.

You're all women rolled up into one.

Yet, I don't even know your name.

Marion.

Oh, that's a beautiful name.

Marion.

Shades made Marion herself.

Let's run away someplace.

We'll start life anew in a forest dell
or a desert island.

You know, it's really no fun at all
being alone, is it?

No.

But we'll go away.

Have plenty of money. No worries.

What do you think of that, Sandra?

I think you're stoned.

Tell me what happened.

You don't remember?

When we got back here, did you have a
fight with Sandra?

No, honey, I sure didn't. She wasn't
even here.

You know what?

I don't miss her a bit.

the office. I'm late now.

Okay, honey.

No, it's not okay.

When I get back, I want to find you
gone.

Now, there's no way to talk, honey.

Marian, be a sweet child. Be reasonable.

Sandra finds you here, she could sue me
for broke.

No dough, no fun.

You wouldn't like that, would you?

No, but I like you.

See you at the club.

Mr. Purvis, you can't go in there.

What do you mean, Albert, I can't go
into my own office?

I'm sorry, Mr. Purvis, but those are Mr.
Driscoll's orders.

He told me himself.

Right, Albert, get me Mr. Driscoll on
the phone.

And he said he didn't want to talk to
you.

Let's see about that.

Ed, why not save yourself further
embarrassment?

He wouldn't believe me, Mr. Hunter.

Oh, well, my old colleague.

What are you doing in my office, Bill?

If you don't remember, you'd better come
in.

Oh, Bill, I always knew you wanted my
job.

I didn't think you'd get it overnight.

I didn't get your job, Had. You kicked
yourself out of it.

I'm fired.

That's it.

And you can't blame Dave Driscoll.

What happened? The Colton bunch didn't
like the campaign?

Well... Don't interrupt me, Bill.

Whole kit and caboodle.

Newspapers, magazines, radio,
television.

It's all my idea.

on it for a full eight months.

Do you mean to tell me that you don't
remember that you were staggering drunk

the presentation?

What?

Are you putting on an act?

No!

Bill, I don't remember.

I don't remember!

If you say so.

It doesn't make any difference.

Not anymore.

You've really ripped it.

You ripped it for good.

It started in a bar, in the convention
room at the hotel.

Have a very dry martini, please.

Sorry, sir, but the bar was closed and
the meeting started.

That's odd. I'm the meeting and I just
got here.

Well, maybe they don't know that.

Gentlemen, the chart indicates the best
available estimate in the various media,

as you can see for yourselves.

Now, in magazines, we have 14 ,270 ,616.

Newspapers, 174 ,922 ,707. Radio spots,

68 ,000... 68 ,919 ,445.

You ever seen me make a $10 bill appear?

Nope.

Thank you, sir. I need a glass.

You have one in your hand.

Yes, sir.

That may not be Houdini, but I'm working
at it.

Outdoor, billboards and so on.

7 ,243 ,555.

Television, 337 ,780 ,000.

322,

making a grand total of 603 ,136

,641. And with this combined impact in
all the media,

confined to the post -announcement
period of six weeks, then the cost per

or listener is reduced to a very
respectable minimum.

Are there any questions?

Oh, well, good. I thought there wouldn't
be. I think the little pamphlet we

passed out is very explicit.

We've tried to indicate exactly what we
have in mind for the entire campaign.

And, of course, we intend to give
everyone a certain amount of leeway in

area.

Well, let's all turn to page 19, shall
we? Out of the little booklet that you

have in your hands there.

Now, on page 19, which is in reference
to billboards, outdoor spots,

we are carrying on, I think, a rather
subtle campaign there. We are carrying

a campaign to do away with billboards.

Good evening,

William.

Driscoll's been looking all over for
you. He's beginning to get pretty sore.

That meeting's been going on in there
for about two hours. Yes, I heard

putting everybody to sleep.

You know, next year, we've got to get an
alarm clock account to keep our other

clients awake.

There may not be a next year. Oh, don't
be so grim. What you need is a drink,

old man. Fix this fella up.

Not now.

All right, Had.

You can't pretend not to know how
important this is.

I know.

Then act like it.

All right, Had. You're here. The whole
ball of wax is yours. We've been

till you got here.

On with the dance.

Now, everything's riding on this. If you
have any doubts... Bill, old buddy,

take me to your leader.

Okay.

I'll tell Driscoll you're ready.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Then lay off the Inquisition.

Make it so that everyone concerned
should have a certain amount of

the campaign in his own area.

However, there are certain guidelines
that we try to put down so that there'll

be more or less a unanimity of approach
throughout the entire country on our

latest campaign.

Do you have a pitcher?

Oh, yes.

Yeah? Ordinary water glass?

recommend you to all the youth hostels.

Thank you.

Well, gentlemen, we've heard from
marketing and merchandising, and now we

to the high point of our campaign, the
sales messages themselves, which will

blast out additional sales from a highly
competitive market for Colton cars.

And now the man who is responsible for
this campaign, our creative director,

Hadley Purvis. Had?

anything happen on the way to the
office.

It rained.

Not enough to stop the drought, though.

Supposed to have a flip -flop here.
Where's the flip -flop?

It's backstage, Had.

Are you sure?

Yes, I saw it.

Well, if you saw it, that's good enough
for me.

Oh.

and a grand piano.

Try taking that home on the subway
sometime.

Rush hour.

Now this agency client presentation is
important

because it will later be shown in the
dealer meetings throughout the country.

The dealers...

As I was saying...

As

I was saying, we considered and
discarded 31 different themes for this

campaign, before finally determining
upon the Colton Cosmic, opening

the space age to the highways.

Colton Cosmic, out of this world with
the Cosmic.

Of course.

Had, uh, Mr. Blake would like to ask you
a question.

Certainly.

I'm a little confused, Mr. Purvis.

You said the new theme was going to be
the Colton Cosmic, opening the space age

to the highways.

But now you indicate out of this world
with the Cosmic.

I don't understand.

Yes.

I did say that, Mr. Blake.

And there's a good reason.

A very good reason.

Let me explain to you in just one
minute.

two different themes.

We don't have two different... We don't
have two different themes.

But the same theme put differently. Is
that clear?

No.

I'm sorry, but it isn't.

Well.

Let me see if I can put it a different
way, then.

We have Golden Cosmic opening the space
age to the highways.

Then we have the other one.

Out of this world with the cosmic.

Now.

Here we have again, as you can see,
opening the space age,

etc., etc., etc.

Mr. Blake, I had a saying that the theme
opening the space age to the highways

is for magazines and newspapers.

The other is for radio and TV.

That's one way of putting it.

As a matter of fact, it's correct.

I guess that answers your question, Mr.
Blake.

Not quite, Mr. Purvis.

Why use another slogan for radio and TV?

Right.

Now... You asked me a very good
question.

The theme, Out of This World with a
Cosmic, is better adapted to music.

Exactly.

I'll thank you, Mr. Hunter, to let me
handle the explanations.

Miss Blake!

Who would ever try to sing with music?

Out of this world... No.

Colton Cosmic!

Opening the space age to the highway!

Voice isn't very good.

Now we try.

Out of this world with a cosmic...

See what I mean?

Well, gentlemen, we may as well continue
this meeting after dinner. It's late

and I'm sure we're all hungry.

Anything you say, David?

I could also use some fresh air.

And a drink.

See you later, Bob.

Go home, Purvis. You're through.

And don't bother to clean out your desk.

We'll send your things and your check.

I didn't think you had enough nerve to
fire me, Potsy.

I'm not worried.

But a lot of other people whose job
you've put in jeopardy are.

You're a clever man, Purvis.

A real personality kid.

But this town is full of clever men who
can hold their liquor.

Goodbye.

completing the first half of our play
has so exhausted our actors that they

a rest.

However, in television, it is a cardinal
sin to allow the viewer a single moment

when his ears and eyes are not assaulted
by sound and fury.

Therefore, we shall now ask your local
stations to take up the battle.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, a
commercial.

after which we shall show a few scenes
from this week's show.

Oh, yes.

Now I remember.

There isn't anything more to say, is
there?

Need a drink?

It's perfect.

Albert, to what do I owe the intrusion?

Well, I didn't get a chance to talk to
you before you left the office.

I wanted to tell you how sorry I was
about how all this worked out.

Thank you very much, Albert.

Very, very kind.

Well, when Mr. Driscoll came in so angry
this morning, I... Gee, I didn't want

to tell you you couldn't go at all. I
understand, Albert. That's very nice of

you to tell me. Thank you very much.

You know, we're going to miss you around
there.

You've helped me an awful lot.

You've been very nice to me. And, you
know, I've learned something from you.

I've taught you abstemiousness.

Beware of demon rum, Albert.

You know, Mr.

Driscoll doesn't believe in paying us
very much.

I don't know how to say this. I don't
want to trouble you with this at this

time, but... Well, do you remember the
errand you sent me on?

Hmm?

Yes, you know, that day that you had a
cold.

Oh, you remember. You came to me and you
told me you had a cold and you sent me

out to the liquor store?

Yes.

Well... Well, I had to pay for that out
of my own pocket.

How much do I owe you, Albert?

Oh, well, I have a receipt right here. I
don't want the receipt. Just tell me

how much I owe you.

$7 .70.

Buy your mother a present.

Thank you, Mr. Purvis.

You're a nice man, Albert.

I'm sorry I bothered you at a time like
this. Thank you, Albert.

Mr. Purvis.

I don't want the receipt, Albert.

Oh, this isn't mine. It fell out of your
wallet.

The Sweaterama.

What did I buy for ten dollars?

What is it?

Can't make it out.

I must have bought it sometime last
night.

But what was it?

Thank you very much, Albert.

Well, thank you, Mr. Purvis, and good
luck.

Hello. Good evening.

This is Sweaterama, isn't it?

Must have gotten this here.

What do you want to do? Exchange it?

I'm not surprised. I thought you would.

Say, you two look... Have I seen you
before?

You certainly have.

Last night.

That's right.

You waited on me.

Good evening, sir.

May I help you?

May I

ask you a question?

Certainly, sir.

You think I'm drunk?

Why, no, sir.

Not necessarily.

Oh, I drink it too before dinner,
perhaps.

Is that all you want? Drunk can't go
shopping, right?

Drunk can't buy anything.

I'm sober. I'm perfectly sober.

I buy something to prove I'm not drunk,
right?

Well, I suppose if you... And Sandra
can't say I was drunk?

Proved at Driscoll and Blake I'm not
drunk?

I'm sure I don't know what you're
talking about.

A nice present.

Here we have a string of genuine
cultured pearls.

Exquisite.

Solid gold clasp.

Only $50.

No, that's too much.

Everybody say I was drunk.

What's that over there?

That's a silk scarf. It's only $10.

Okay.

Well, that's very pretty.

I'll take it.

Would you like me to gift wrap it?

No, thank you. I don't have time.

I'll put it in the bath.

That'll be ten dollars.

Here you are, sir. Thank you.

Very much.

Good night.

Would you like to exchange the scarf for
something else?

Would you like to exchange the scarf for
something else?

No.

I'll keep it.

I, uh... Did I say where I was going
last night?

No.

I didn't use your telephone.

You didn't? No.

Thank you very much.

I thought I heard you, honey.

Didn't I tell you to get out?

I guess so.

May I speak to Mr. Hunter, please?

Well, Bill, I had purpose. I'm awfully
sorry to bother you at home like... No,

just wanted to ask you one question.

Did either you or Driscoll call Sandra
last night? Give her the bad news?

No, I didn't think I had.

Well, I haven't seen her since yesterday
morning.

Pretty pajamas Sandra left behind.

Thank you very much. I guess she got
sore and went to some hotel.

She runs out of money. She'll come home.

But you won't be here, will you, honey?
You'll be with Mary, won't you?

I told you this morning to get out. Now
pack and get going.

Call your cab.

Not so fast, Mr. Blake.

Who do you think you are ordering me
around?

Oh, get lost.

And after all the lousy time I've wasted
on you.

You make me sick.

Let me tell you, you creep, you drunk.

When you loaded your revolter,
disgusting.

No woman arrived and I would spend two
seconds with you. Oh, shut up.

And I don't blame your old bag of a
wiper running right on you.

Your taxi's out front.

I heard you.

Marion, I'm awfully sorry I lost my
temper.

I should say you did.

I've never done anything like that
before.

Nerves, I guess, and losing my job.

All I can say is that you sure have an
awful mean way of taking things out on

people. Well, I'm trying to make it up
to you.

No, I want you to keep it.

What you want is for me not to go to the
cops.

Cause any trouble.

Afraid your wife will find out about it.

All right.

I know when to keep my mouth shut.

Birthday party.

Extra bottle left over.

I hid it from Sandra.

Sandra? Sandy?

Out of your head.

How'd things go at the... I don't need
to ask that, do I?

I came home early.

It's only one o 'clock.

I told you, Hadwood, I was going to do
if you got drunk again.

I'll pack my things and leave in the
morning.

Oh, if you can't, Sandy, you can. Why
can't I? Give me one good reason why I

have to live like this. You're my good
luck without you, Sandy. I've cried for

nearly ten years. It's hopeless,
Hadwood.

Now I'm going to bed.

You've got to stick with me.

Stick with you? What do you mean?

I wasn't drunk, Sandy. Can you
understand that?

I can prove it.

I'll show you. Did you lose your job, is
that it?

Driscoll's an oaf.

Blake's words, afraid of facts, can't
face the truth.

I asked, did you lose your job? I'll
find a better one. You stick with me,

Sandy. You won't be sorry.

It's the beginning of the end, and you
don't know it. From now on, there'll be

lot of jobs. Each one less and less
until one day.

There won't be any job at all. No, don't
say that. It's not true. Listen. Wait,

Sandy. It wasn't my fault.

I wasn't drunk. I just had two drinks. I
can prove it.

It doesn't matter. We're through. Sandy,
look. I went shopping. I bought it just

for you. I couldn't have gone shopping
if I was drunk, could I? It's real

genuine silk.

Try it. Put it on. I don't want it.
You've got to want it!

It's yours!

It proves that Driscoll was wrong!

And Blake was wrong! And all of them
were wrong!

And it proves that you're wrong about my
drinking.

And it proves that I bought it. And it
proves that I love you. Can't you

understand that? Can't you realize
you've got to put it on? What are you

Take it off.

I detest it. Just wear it.

You're beautiful, Sandy.

And the scarf is beautiful.

It's just for you.

This concludes tonight's story.

Of course, there was a legalistic
footnote, but the jury was charitable.

I customarily close on a light note, but
I feel that tonight's subject is an

unsuitable one for humour.

Alcoholism is being recognised as one of
the most serious diseases of our

society, and I hope this programme has
helped dramatise some of the frightening

aspects of the problem.

Good night.
