All language subtitles for Alfred Hitchcock s02e38 A Little Sheep

Good evening.

This is Alfred Hitchcock speaking to you
from the bottom of the world.

I mention this so that if snow should
appear on your screen, you won't waste

time adjusting your set.

Ah, man's best friend, and a dog, too.

Even though I have all the comforts of
home, I'm afraid it is time for our

and I wouldn't want everyone to watch
this standing on his head.

Well, we seem to have lost the dog, but
it's nice to feel the blood rushing to

my feet again.

Ladies and gentlemen, here proper side
up is our story, A Little Sleep.

Lover, you danced like a gigolo.

Is that supposed to be a compliment?

When it left me, it was.

When it reached you, no.

A horse's neck.

What? That's what I want. Go make me
one, lover.

Harvey.

Let's dance.

After I get my drink.

You've had one too many now.

I told you to keep score.

All right, I'll make it another.

Another and another and another.

If I scream, every glass in my mouth
will shatter. That wouldn't stop me.

Just drink out of the bottle. You want
to see me do it? No, I'll get you a

crank.

I really ought to marry you, Chris.
You'd be such a good influence on me.

I love you, Barbie.

You're my guy.

One drink, please.

Stand on your head.

Feet up.

And right.

Don't move.

Don't move.

If that drink is for me, I accept with
profound gratitude.

It's for Barbie. Have you seen her?

Certainly. I've been studying her
portrait all evening.

Don't be funny. Chris, my boy.

This painting is the very essence of
Barbie Hallam.

No form or reason except...

When viewed through a veil of fever.

Then you begin to get the meaning.

An idiot's delight.

A nightmare backwards.

A trauma in three acts.

You don't know what you're talking
about. Do you know where she went?

Oh, they've had a powder room, I
believe.

Kick -ups any better?

Fine. Just stay right there and you'll
be all right.

Campaign, please.

Don't move.

Don't just stand there, love. I'll bring
you my drink.

I think I need one myself.

I'm sure I'm excused.

Starting more to lie to me again.

Why do you do this to me?

I didn't tell anybody to do anything. I
did it because I wanted to. Are you in

love with him?

With Austin? Don't be silly, he's a
bore.

I wonder how he got all those women to
marry him.

I should have hit him.

Of course you should have, Pat. You
ought to have fought to a gory finish.

But you didn't.

This is flat.

The party's flat. This whole bunch is
flat.

Come on, Marley.

Let me take you home.

No.

I want to go up to the mountains.

Where?

To the mountains and rejections.

Men are much more fascinating in the
mountains. But it's one o 'clock.

So what? I've got a cabin up there
someplace. I want to see it.

You've got a cabin?

Since when?

Uncle Alex left it to me in his will.

Pet?

Wasn't that great of him?

Wait a second, I'll come with you.

I don't need you. I've been in the
mountains before.

Alone.

Harvey!

I'm getting out. All right, get out.

Barbie! Get out and walk home. Let's go
back. It's too late to be going

anyplace. Besides, you don't even have a
coat on.

I'm going up to my cabin.

Here. Put this around you.

You'll catch cold.

Is that better?

All right. Now you slide over and I'll
drive.

All right?

All right.

Coffee. That's all, just coffee.

What is it? What's wrong?

Well, they've just come down off the
mountain. They've been up there all

looking for a kid.

Who?

You didn't hear about it?

I just got here.

You driving through?

And it don't matter.

The boy they're looking for.

Benny? He's no boy.

He's not in most ways.

He's old enough to be accountable.

Accountable for what?

For what he did.

You don't want to know what he did.

What are you laughing?

I wouldn't laugh.

Lady, I know your kind. I saw you drive
up in that fancy car out there.

Got a lot of money and nothing to do,
huh?

Just like her.

Like who?

Like that girl.

Look where the sheriff's been. He's been
in and out all night.

Yes, I know.

I'm going to stay, aren't you?

kind of passing time of day.

I'm going on to the Hallam place. You
know where it is?

Sure. It's about 10 or 12 miles down the
road. There isn't anybody there,

though. The owner's dead.

The owner is me.

You?

My uncle left it to me.

You better talk to Ed Mungo about that.
He looks after the place.

Who's Ed Mungo?

He owns this cafe.

He was just talking to him.

He wasn't very friendly.

That's because of Benny.

They're brothers.

It was Ed who found her.

You mean the girl?

She was up near the last cabin, near the
trees, her and that dog.

Did Benny hurt her?

Well, I guess so.

He broke her neck.

Why?

I don't know.

Maybe it was because she teased him.

Maybe it was because of that dog. Benny
never did like dogs.

He killed it, too.

But he can't get very far on foot.

Want me to get ahead for you?

What for?

I have a key.

Well, he looks after the place. He don't
look like people snooping around.

I own it.

You tell him just that.

I'll tell him.

You do that.

You don't need a key. The door's open.

What are you doing here?

I'm trespassing. How about you?

I own the place.

What's your name?

Barbie.

Barbie Hallam.

Oh, well.

Well, you walk right in. It's a very
nice place.

You're just in time for dinner. You want
some?

No, thanks. I ate on the way.

Would you like a beer?

I haven't got any glasses.

Who needs a glass?

Is there any left?

What do you do around here?

Do?

I don't do much of anything.

Then what are you doing in my cabin?

Waiting.

Are you one of the sheriff's men?

Not exactly. I'm just a trespasser.

I really got permission from Ed.

Ed Mongo?

My brother.

I'm Benny.

What's the matter? Don't you want to
dance?

I think I'll be going.

Let's have another beer.

No.

What's the matter? Don't you like me? I
thought you did.

Of course it's not that.

I know what it is. You're remembering
about the dog.

What dog?

Well, didn't I tell you what I did?

No.

Sure they did. Look, do you like dogs?

Sometimes. Well, so do I.

But just look at this. Look what it did
me.

You see, I didn't know it was her dog
because she never brought it before.

Well, maybe I should have known because
it was outside her cabin, but... Well, I

didn't.

You should have seen the way Marcella
carried on.

Oh, then she'd been up here before.

Oh, sure. Marcella comes every week. She
likes me.

She goes for the rugged outdoor type, I
guess.

What did you do after you killed the
dog?

Nothing. I just sat around and waited
till Marcella quieted down and then...

Well, Ed came in and he ran me out.

You didn't see it down there, did you?

Well, look, if you stay, you'll get a
chance to meet her because Ed's going to

bring her up.

Here? Well, he better. I told him last
night I wouldn't go away unless he did.

Benny, when you left her cabin, was
Marcella all right?

She was fine. She was asleep.

Then Ed came in?

Yeah, Ed came in and after a while he
brought me up here.

Ed brought you here?

Well, yeah, he told me to wait.

Did he like Marcella, too?

That's a funny question.

Did he?

Well, sure, he's crazy about her, but it
won't do him any good because Marcella

comes to see me, not Ed.

I don't think you better wait any
longer.

Why? Is something wrong?

Marcella isn't coming, Benny.

What makes you say that?

You better not wait for Ed. You better
come with me. I'll drive you down. Well,

you see, I'm supposed to wait.

But Marcella... And he's right.

I told him to wait.

Uh, Penny, why don't you go outside and
wait for me in the car? Did you bring

Marcella in?

I told you you would.

I'll bring her right in, then.

You, uh, better sit down, miss. We've
got some things to talk about.

I'll stand if you don't mind.

Tell me you're the owner. I guess you
can do what you like.

I plan to.

Oh, not that.

Now we talk. I gotta see where we stand.

We already know that.

No, Benny don't.

You don't even know what he's done.

He killed a dog, that's all. He doesn't
even know Marcella's dead.

Well, she is.

She got just what she asked for.

Look, I got to get Benny out of here.
I'm going to take him over to the next

county. Some people I know.

Why?

Why? I can't let him put Benny away. He
ain't responsible.

I figure it'll be safe enough if you
drive us.

Suppose I won't do it.

You ain't got no choice.

Ed, why don't you drive him over?

Then come back.

I'll wait here for you.

I never learned, did I?

You think all you've got to do is smile
pretty and a man will forget everything

he ever learned?

Bet you tried that on a lot of men.

Benny!

Shut up.

You're just like her.

Fancy car, no brains. Never know when to
keep quiet.

You're crazy. You killed that guy. I
don't want to see you. You'll accelerate

out here, Ed.

Benny.

Benny. What's going on in here?

Nothing, kid.

Told you to wait outside.

Ed, look, I've been outside, but
Marcella ain't there and your car ain't

either. It's down the road a ways.
You'll find it. Now, go on out there and

for me.

All right, Ed, but don't take all that.

Marcella isn't there.

What? He didn't bring her.

Ed?

How come? How come you didn't bring her
like you said? Why don't you tell him,

Ed? Go ahead. Tell him what you did to
her.

Ed, you did something to Marcella?
Benny, look, it's all right. I told you

stay away from her. We're going now.
I'll tell you about it in the car.

I want to know what you did.

I didn't do anything. He just broke her
neck, that's all.

Now tell me it ain't true. Tell me it
ain't true.

You did it, didn't you? You killed her,
you said you would, and you did it. You

killed her.

Are you hurt?

Oh, you missed me.

I'm all right.

Sure acted crazy.

Come on, I'll drive with you.

I'll get my purse.

What about him?

I'll leave him there.

A little sleep will do him good, and
when he wakes up, he can find his own

back. You got a cigarette?

No.

Where'd you get the jacket?

A friend of mine lent it to me.

Where is he, in town?

I just made him get out of the car. He
bored me.

That's funny.

What is?

What you just said.

You know, Marcella said the very same
thing last night, just before I put her

sleep.

Just like I did Ed.

I'd do it real quick.

I'll show you.

And

he

did too.

Naturally, Benny was properly punished,
as is always the case.

on this program.

Next time we should be back again with
more crime and punishment.

Pax Pobiscum.
