The good die young

I think we can find some consolation in that

when we think of our great friend Rex Black

For whose memorial service we are gathered here today

Flying was Rex's religion

I saw him often

From my study window,driving to the airport in his little old good car

Too fast perhaps, OK for many

And I thought

That young man has everything

Youth,enthusiasm,the work he loves

The devotion and comfort of a Christian marriage

I am afraid I am a rotten hostess

Rex had been pouring you all drinks

Not for me,Stella

Well,my old darling,happy landing,remember?

You've said it every evening when he came Airmen's Arms

You all laughed at me but I knew that day something awful was going to happen

I knew it when I woke up

Here,take this

We've just been to Brighton I went there to get my hand read

Rex laughed when I told him about that

Expect a great sadness

That's what my hand had in it

-Oh,what is that,doctor? -You'll sleep well

There are ways and ways of telling us about the future

Those gliders of yours are dangerous things with no engines

Stands to reason you can't control them with no engines

Had he been gliding long?

No,

No,but he said it was wonderful

I don't know I never went up with him

-Well,Good Bye ,darling -Good Bye

Hope you don't go back to America

Oh,I can't live here

You ought to get away, get away to the sea air

The old man is right,Stella,go to Brighton

Get you hand read

Who knows you might run into a handsome millionaire waiting for you

Bye Stella

Good Bye

Thank you awfully kind

I'll see them at home

I thought only generals and poets are things had a memorial service

But then old Rex always did things in style

I'll put off,Stella

-I wish she often ?? -Oh,Rex was well insured

Do you mind coming to the Airmen's Arms?

There's a good idea

Oh I nearly died

I'd promise you,didn't I?

Three months dead and I said I'd be right back after the service

-And Rex nothing went wrong -Didn't it? Bang

Did give me a good character?

No,no they said

They said you weren't good in a conventional way

-You drove too fast -Oh they said that,did they?

I'm not going to all the trouble of dying just to be told that

-I've been so lonely -So am I darling

I can't tell you how dreary it was living in a boarding house by the sea

not daring going out during the day and live on pies and chips

-Oh,you got a new nice lampshade -Yeah

-And being Mr Erskine -Who is Mr Erskine?

Well I was

An unsuccessful shoe salesman suffering from a nervous breakdown

Oh,my poor darling

And I hope to do better next time you see me

Yes,love

This time you look so wonderful

And I'm so happy to be back home again

You know I got to hate that Mr Erskine

We hardly had any money and

And no sex life at all

-Honestly? -Mm,mm

It was getting very nervous

You know I was getting nervous too

-Are you expecting anyone? -No

-Who is it? -I don't know

Tell her not to bother about it now

-Mrs Black? -The flat upstairs

Oh,thank you

Sleep right good

-Mrs Black? -Yes?

I'm from the Excelsior Insurance Company

May I have a few words with you?

I hope it's a convenient moment,Mrs Black

If you've someone here?

No,no,no there is no one here at all

Come in

I'm afraid it's not very tidy

I've had a few people here

After the service -The service?

For Rex,my husband

I didn't know,perhaps I ought to leave you

No,no,I just assumed, get it over,please sit down

The head office thought it might be as well,if we had a little personal chat

Oh,they did?

Not that they are worried about anything in particular but..

This is not the usual type of paying money,surely you appreciate that

No, I suppose not

Not exactly run-of-the-mill

Shall we put it that way?

If you like

I mean they never actually found the body,did they?

No

The coastguard says he had the glider under observation before it actually hit the sea

And it broke up very soon afterwards

Now,presumably the body was washed away

But you heard all this before?

Yes,I know it by heart

You can't think of any reason why he should want to end his life?

Rex? No he loved life,you could ask anyone

I see there was an earlier claim

On an insurance for a Dove aeroplane that your husband took out for charter flying

-That was last year -Yes

The plane was written off totally

Does that mean that he was out of a job?

Well,in a way,yes

Did you find him moody, difficult to live with?

I'm sorry I have to ask you this

Oh,no he was quite happy he began to write books

What sort of things?

Thrillers?

Yes,as a matter of fact

Well,there's money in that,I suppose

Oh,Rex never made much money

While he was alive

-Would you sign this -What is it?

Just a simple declaration,that to your knowledge

your husband never said anything to you about suicide

Oh,I think I can sign that

I see this

Insurance was made only three months before your husband was lost?

Does that matter?

No,no I just meant it was lucky

Lucky?

I mean you are young

You'll be very well off,you'll have a new life ahead of you,Mrs Black

Well,if you don't think

I'll give every penny of that insurance to have him back

I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that

Mr Maddux,how long will all this take?

I,I want to go abroad

I want to go away from this flat and everyone we knew

Well,there shouldn't be any delay from us

-Oh,my hat,where did I -Oh,it's in here

Thank you,when you go abroad,Mrs Black, have you thought of going far?

-No,I haven't made any plans -No,well..

I'd suppose you hadn't any chance to have any

Good Night

Stella,Stella here,come on let's celebrate

Rex

That man,look,was from the insurance company

Yes,I know,I know

Just routine

But he said you took out the insurance just three months before the accident

What about it?

Well,he said it was lucky

Of course we are lucky

We're just terribly lucky

But after he said it he looked

-So guilty -So he should

All insurance men should look guilty and haunted by ghosts

Now,darling,there is nothing to worry about

He said that it was all fixed,didn't he?

Yeah

I guess he did

We did it

We finally made them pay

What is it,Stella?

I know I am so sleepy

Doctor gave me something to sleep

Then that awful service,just as if you were really dead

And all those questions that didn't have an answer

You know,darling

I loved it when you said

I'll give every penny of that miserable insurance to have him back

It nearly brought tears to my eyes in the kitchen

There are so many questions about insurance on the plane,that's so frightened

Enough darling there's no need to worry

Please don't worry

Rex

Is it crazy,isn't what we are doing? Just crazy

It isn't crazy at all

We are only getting what they are asked

What they really owe us for that old Dove

I'm sorry,darling,I'm so sleepy,that silly doctor

But that's

Stella,you know,please don't,not now,

Not tonight

I'm leaving in a few hours I..

I got to get up the first thing in the morning

Stella,Stella,wake up

Stella

You won't make much out of this cargo

Oh,just trying to deliver foundations garments to the women of Hamburg

Part of about a million pounds worth of dopes stuck to the cleavage of those bras

You know ,in a one man operation

You got to take it what you can get

-Right,here's the clearance -Thank you

-Everything all right Sam? -Fine

-Bye darling -Bye,bye-See you to dinner

Hello,Hamburg

Hamburg,I've been trying to get you for the last 10 minutes

Hello,hello is that you,Hamburg?

Insurance,I'll tell you is a wonderful thing

I mean you have a crash a disaster something like that

And you're better off than you were before

A new aeroplane,you know ,so we can do something bigger than that old Dove

I'll tell you,it pays to crash, it literally pays to crash

Don't make a habit of it,will you?

-He will see you now,Mr Black -Thank you

-Mrs Black? -Yes,this is my wife

-How do you do -How do you do

-Please take a seat -Thank you

-Do you smoke? -No,no thank you

I mean,if we are going to take around 20000 of the old Excelsior

at least I needn't pinch their cigarettes

Now,Mr Jenkins,the reason I wanted to see you so quickly was

I mean without that form filling and all that jazz

I wanted to see you,Mr Black

but we didn't want you to worry you in hospital

Worry me?

You could come and worry me with 20000 any time of the day or night

Well after all,what have I lost?

A load of bras,a couple of two way stretchers,

a bit of the right knee cap and what are we going to get?

What?

Shall we tell him?

We are going to get a super powered

twin engined Viking

that I can fly passengers in all over the world

It's going to be start of the Black Elephant Lines

That's what we are going to call it

Does the name appeal to you?

Please,please

I've been over your file very carefully,Mr Black

Now you must understand

This is an insurance company

Yes,we guessed that

And we must have certain rules

One of them is

If the cover isn't paid the insurance lapses

What do you mean?

You crashed on the 3rd of October, your cover expired on the 1st

Well,I must have sent a cheque

I am afraid not,Mr Black

What happened?

I,I suppose I must have forgotten

The money was in the bank, damned it was there

Please,please phone the bank

And ask them

I'm afraid that's not the point,Mr Black

Look,the matter has already been before my board

You got a cheque regularly from me on the first of each month

You could trust me

But it was only two days

No extension is ever given when insurance is on a monthly basis

We have a duty to our shareholders

What do they know about flying aeroplanes

Are they going to miss one meal?

We are not a charity,you know

Well,I thought you were

I thought you existed to help people who'd done

Well,who had a bit of bad luck

But because of your rules and regulations, we are going to go broke

With your experience, you'll find a job,Mr Black

I don't want a job

The hell with working for other people

I want my own aeroplane,and I'll tell you,I'm going to get one

But it was only two days, surely you could stretch a point?

Look at him

He looks as if he couldn't stretch anything

I really don't think it is necessary to talk like that

You know what I am going to do?

If I have to put myself in hock for the rest of my life

I'm going to get the best lawyer and sue the Excelsior

Come on,darling,so tell back to your board

You'll be hearing from my lawyer

You see in Law

the insurance company was perfectly entitled to refuse payments

I can't advise you to sue you're only literally throwing good money away

That's what the Law says

I've told you,Mr Black,not once but several times

And is this your idea of justice?

If that the attitude you wish to take, I'm hardly the person to come to,am I?

I'm sorry

you might find another firm to take your case,there are such lawyers

Yes I know,I've tried them

They may do it for the cost they could get out of you

That's the Law is it?

Until you can get it changed

Hey,Rex,I'll be ready for you in a couple of minutes

Let's figure over again,Rex

Darling

We got to do it today

The wind is right,everything is all right

We've waited long enough

I cannot think I can do it,I..

Of course you can

Just wait

Well,try and look a little bit miserable

That won't be difficult

Stay away behind,you know I wouldn't ask you to do this but

We are only getting back what is really ours

We can't let them get away with it now,can we?

No,no,I suppose not

Right,Rex

I'll be right with you

Come on sweetheart

Come on

You will be careful,won't you?

Now you don't think that I am not coming back to spend that 50000,do you?

Not for any silly reason like being dead

When are you going up again,my dear?

You know my wife,she's got a terrible head for heights

Too bad,are you going away on a weekend or something?

Yes, I'll try to make it to Brighton

Brighton? Well you'll have a nice day for it,with all the numbers I taught you

You're all right there!

OK

I'll call you from Brighton

You know what it is about this gliding?

It's dead opposed to our materialistic civilisation

I mean you can't imagine anybody doing it for money

Rex,are you ready yet?

All right,come along

Here you are

All clear above and behind

All clear above and behind

Take up slack

-What's all the fuss about -There's been a plane crash

Oh,really!

I believe you have a room for me

My name is Erskine

Stella

Stella,wake up

Wake up,darling

Darling,concentrate

Look,it's getting light,I have to get that plane to Paris

Now listen to me,carefully

When they pay you the money

I want you to go to the bank and tell them that you're emigrating

That's true,now

I want you to get that money transferred to the bank in Malaga

-Malaga? -Malaga in Spain

-Right? -OK

Now,when that's fixed,I want you take an ad in the Daily Telegraph,personal column

Here I've got a little ad for you

Short elderly American diplomat

wishes to dispose of dress suit

good as new,offers

OK

Good,when that's in,three days later

I want you to get on a plane and go to Malaga

When you get there I'll tell you what to do

-Will you meet me? -Of course I'll meet you

I must go now,babe

Rex

Rex

When this is all over, we'll be ordinary,won't we?

I mean,wherever we have to go, it will be just like we were before

Of course

Only richer

Le Soir,English newspapers

Paris-Midi

Le Soir

Paris-Midi

Paris-Midi

Le Soir,English newspapers

You know what these are?

Sheep

Yeah,I'm going to tell you,I've got half million of them in South Australia

You know why I am going back to?

Because they respect me

That lousy Sheila,she

You know what I told her?

I told her,I've got half a million sheep

I told her that I've got a million pounds Australian

I've told he I've got three farms big as the whole of Wales

And you know what's to be said?

Ah,boy,did you ever know a woman

you told her that you've got a million pounds Australian and they say,how boy?

Seems unnatural

-She's dumb -Come on

Look

If you ever in Wong Bong,South Australia

I'd just want you to look me up

just ask for me,Jim Jerome because I want to buy you a drink

Don't forget,Jim Jerome

Is that the advertising department of the Daily Telegraph?

Well,I like to place an ad,please, in tomorrow's newspaper

Ready?

Short elderly American diplomat

Hey,un momento,one moment please

La señora,I give in,Mrs Black?

Yes,who are you?

Para Usted Flores

Que? Habla usted Espagnol?

No,do you speak English?

You go

me

Parlez vous francais?

-Oui,vous parlez francais? -Oui,je,toi,oui

No,no,Mrs Black

No,no,no,la maletita aqui

Ahora vamos al hotel

Pero antes fiesta,Si,fiesta,party

-Party -No,no

Si,very critical

Con twist y toreadores

Sit down,Mrs Black

Mrs Black,no por favor

Finish,arrivato

I'll be right down

-I'm Madge Penderby -Oh

-Of course you must be Stella -Yes

What a pretty girl

Jim certainly knows how to pick them

Jim?

Of course he's the Australian with half a million sheep

Anyway he was most anxious for you to come right away

you know how these millionaires are, I hope you are no too tired

Stella,Ricardo,Juan

Where is Jim?

Jim?

You got ?? in my living room you wouldn't believe it

Jim

I got her for you

Hello,Mrs Black

You remember me,don't you?

-Jim Jerome, we met in London -Oh,yes I,I think I remember

-I'm sorry about your husband -Oh,are you?

Yes,I liked him a lot

Oh,so did I

I hope you can stay a while

this is a marvellous place to forget all your problems

Well,things do work for you,doesn't it?

Isn't it a charming house,you really must see the terrace

Come on Mrs Black,you can see all over Malaga,excuse me Madge

-Is this your first time in Spain? -Yes

I'm beginning to feel like a native already

-Did you get it? -The flowers? Yes

-Thank you very much -Good

No,I mean the money

Oh,that,yes,they paid me

And?

You got a transfer?

Dear,I was hoping that was a shadow

Don't you like it?

I thought it made me look reliable

And your voice

The sound of the Outpack

I'm starting to lose it now in this civilised community

Oh,it is that what they are?

You've been marvellous,darling, absolutely marvellous

There is nothing more to worry about

Nothing to worry about?

First I have a husband,and then he disappears

and back comes a nervous little shoe salesman called Erskine

I got one night out of him,just one night and then he is off again

and now I'm told he is Jim Jerome and he's got half a million sheep

Please

I won't,I just want to know whom I'm married to,that's all,is that much to ask

Well,no one at the moment, of course,you might get a proposal

Ah,from whom?

This Jerome character, attractive man,don't you think?

Are you going to ask me to marry him?

When you know him a bit longer

It's ridiculous,you can't keep on marrying the same person

-Who is she? -I don't know

Some widow he met in London

Where do you live?

-Here -Oh

Madge picked me up in a restaurant

she asked me to stay so much easier being a millionaire than somebody else

-And who is that girl? -Which?

-That? -That? That's Madge's daughter,Dianne

Does she stay here too?

Well,of course,

What about me? Do I get to join you?

Not tonight,darling

After all,we only just met, it's very comfortable at the hotel

I'll see you tomorrow for lunch

Oh,thank you very much

Oh,Stella,darling

Be reasonable,Stella,please

We've done our worst part

All you need is a new name and we'll be off to South America

We'll be charter flying and will be

Just..

What did you say,ordinary people

That's all

You didn't even meet me at the airport

I couldn't,darling,we have to do it this way

Now cheer up

We'll be together

When?

Tomorrow

Lunch

Jim

The Gonzalez are here, they are asking for you

Be right with you,Madge

See you later

They are over there

Thank you

Have you been a widow long,dear?

Tres,quatro,200000 pesetas

That's the petty cash

We'd like our joint account turned into a draft that we can cash anywhere

Anywhere in the world,you understand?

We're going abroad, now how long will that take?

Well,the balance stands at 7 million pesetas

Excuse me a second,Mr Jerome

Of course,it's nothing like that in English money

but do you know what I am?

A pesetas millionaire

After all,I did die for it

Glad to see you still getting on so well

Hello,Madge

I was just showing Mrs Black the site

Yes,he was just showing me the site

And that price it should be well worth seeing

The draft would be ready in one week's time,Sir

There are certain arrangements to be made,you understand

Yes,yes,of course,thank you, we'll be back in a week

Come on,darling

Well,it tastes like lemonade anyway

White wine should be served cold, it's the only way not to taste it

Now,please, would you bring me bucket of ice

you understand,put this wine in a bucket of ice

Can't you see you're a flop, can't you see

You know,France is the only place where we can get a decent white wine

You never did that before

What?

Talk like that to waiters

Someone got to,I mean they never learn

Oh,wouldn't they?

Shoe shine?

Places like these should give some value for our money now that we are..

Rich?

Is that you were going to say?

So now we're going to have all a lifetime of shouting at waiters

-Not at all -Shoe shine?-No

Well I'm sorry but I don't like Mr Jerome

You don't?

No,I don't

I'm so glad you said that,darling

I'm getting a bit bored of him too

What do say we get rid of him?

You mean it?

Poor old Jerome has been feeling a little under the weather lately

His heart,you know

Yes,that what it is,it is poor old ticker

I'm glad he's going

So am I

As long as he is insured

Now,would you like to eat?

Let me see

Entremeses? Hors d'oeuvres?

What do say if we got stuck into the hors d'oeuvres

What makes you nuts(??)?

Waiter

Very well,Mr Jerome

you seem to be in a good state of health as far as I can make out,very good indeed

No immediate danger of dying,ah?

Not that I can see,I will be getting in touch with your insurance company

Will you sign here please

Yes,a pleasure

You know

I work here for many American and English, if ever you have need of a doctor

Well I don't think I will now after what you've told me

I hope not but none of us can foresee the future Señor

You are absolutely right,doctor

That's why I was so anxious to get this fixed up

We are all in the hands of God

Yes,so we are

Still there's no harm in taking out a little insurance now,is there?

Sorry,old darling,I had a lot to do

I just hired this car,like it?

It must have cost a fortune

Now Stella we are not in Croydon anymore

Isn't it a bit ridiculous?

That's what I like,and that's the way we're going to live

I've been for a check up

At the doctors

Are you ill or something?

No,not me,old Jerome

I told you his heart wasn't all it should

-Rex,you are not going -Never mind,old darling

Just leave it all to Rex

I've,I've bought you a present

Oh,Rex,they are beautiful

An engagement present

About time we made it legal

I've got to get a paper,see how the old pound is doing

I got to watch that now,you know

Global currencies,stocks get me a bloody Mary would you?

Dear Miss Señorita?

Oh,may I have a bloody Mary and a coffee,please

Bloody Maria and a coffee,muy bien

Isn't it Mrs Black?

It is Mrs Black isn't it?

Well,yes,yes it is

May I join you?

Yes

I so often hoped I might see you again

It's extraordinary,isn't it? How one runs into people one knows abroad

Oh,you don't remember

Yes,of course I do,I ,I just can't remember where

Never mind

You are on holiday I suppose?

Yes,are you?

Yes

You are on your own?

Travelling on your own?

Yes,I am

Jim! Come and join us

You did say you are on your own

Yes,I did

Would you excuse me a moment,I'll be right back

Yes

Hello,darling,I was wondering when you are going to show up

Pull out a chair and sit down!

-There's a man out there -Yes I know

But he calls me Mrs Black

What about him?

Well,I don't know,but I think I've seen him

He is English

-Did he say anything about me? -No but..

Don't get excited

Just try and find out about him

Take the car and see if I can help you later

They are pretty aren't they?

Did you order this for me?

Oh yes,yes I hope you might like it

It is not as innocent as it looks,is it?

They use vodka in it,don't they?

It's very kind of you

Did you know Sam by any chance?

-Sam? -Sam Christian

I thought,perhaps, we met at Barbara's party

-I don't think.. -He was a friend of my husband

You never met my husband

Well I hardly would

Mrs Black,I don't quite know how to say this but

But what?

It's my birthday

Many happy returns

No,what I meant was,would you have dinner with me tonight?

We could eat here

No,no I'm afraid I can't

Well,look then,you suggest a time

Because I'm quite free really

I mean

I got nothing planned

You're staying at the Miramar I expect?

I have some places here, somebody gave them to me

In London and..

See now we could go to

Of course it's Mr ...

Maddux

I came about the insurance and I wasn't very tactful,I'm afraid

Yes,I...

I remember

You said I was lucky

But my husband had died and I was going to get an insurance policy

I hope you wouldn't remember that

And I remember you said I should be celebrating

I've got nothing to be happy about,I can assure you

Nothing at all

Good Bye Mr Maddux

Good Bye

It's a nice car

You realize we'll have to leave

You think so?

I can't risk meeting him

But I don't think he wanted to

All right

What did you think he wanted?

Well,he wanted to take me out to dinner

But that was quite nice of him

Now look

If he is after us

your nice little insurance friends going to get us 10 years in jail

I didn't think he was..

Start thinking now

You're in this every bit as much as I am,my sweet little darling

How was he when you left him?

He didn't seem to want to say good bye but other than that he seemed all right

Every time I ask you a question all you do is give me impressions,

but please tell me exactly what he said

I can't remember

Well,try and remember

I'm not supposed to be a bloody mind reader

Well you have changed since you became Mr Jerome

I'm not being him much longer

Can you really stop?

Darling

Darling I'm sorry I

I shouldn't have said any of that

I make it too much of it anyway

We'll go down the coast

Find somewhere to stay

Just till the money is fixed

And then it's all over

All right?

You know they make a fortune these bullfighters

Thousands and thousands of pounds,ole

You know what?

They don't do it for the money

They do it for all these stupid people,and they don't care,eh,eh

This is ??

You know I'm not doing this new tricks just for the money

We can't waste a marvellous character like Jerome

he was born to be insured, come on,let's have a drink

There's no need for you to look so sad all the time

Let's see if we can find a room in that hotel

Well,all right

Stella,what's the matter?

Anyway,my darling,I haven't signed anything

Besides I can't find life anything without you

Insurance companies are doing well as usual

Now see your old pounds going up very fast

There has been two days and you hardly said a word

I'm sorry

I mean after all I brought you to this beautiful place

There's the sun out there

Fresh air

Flowers

And a bit of sea that actually wouldn't freeze you to death

if you put your bottom into it

Oh and these clothes

I bought you these exquisite dresses which you would at least

Can't you be just a little bit grateful?

Oh,is that what you want

If you ever decide to enjoy yourself I'll be downstairs having a drink

Bloody Mary please

No entiendo

A bloody Mary

Don't you know what that is?

Señor quiere una vodka con tomate,lemoni,Sal y pimiento

Lo siento pero no tengo vodka

He really hasn't vodka

All right I'll have a whiskey

Ah una whiskey

Y un jerez para mi

Ah Si

Thank you

It's quite useful knowing a little bit of the language you know

It's only commercial Spanish but it gets me right

You're staying here?

Yes

Your car?

She goes well,does she?

Like a bomb

Lot of power there,you know, certainly got the power

Doesn't it come from Malaga?

From the garage on the..

Yes

Yes I thought of getting one of these myself

and then in the end I decided they looked a bit like a get away car

Yes, you know in gangster films the cars used to escape in

Hello

You don't seem to be able to get rid of me

No

It's terribly hot isn't it?

Perhaps we better all meet

Oh Mr Maddux this is Jim Jerome

Yes,we were just talking, pleased to meet you

So you are the man from the Prudential?

Well sit down,sport

-I hope you join us Mrs Black -Thank you

What would you like to drink,Mrs Black?

Oh,coffee please

A café con leche

Didn't you tell me that Mr Maddux came to see you about your insurance?

-Oh yes -That's how we met

Yes

I never thought I'd see Mrs Black again

-It's all quite a coincidence -Yes

I was telling Mr Jerome how I noticed the car.I thought it might have been yours

Oh no,it's Jim's

-He was driving -I see

And you just happened to stop

As a matter of fact I have to find somewhere to stay for tonight

Well,why not here?

-Oh but I.. -No please do

Mrs Black and I well we just about to run out of conversation

You'll be something new for us to talk about

Do you mind?

No,no

Well I'll just go and see about a room

Good sport

Why don't you do just that!

All right

Why did you ask him to stay here?

We can't spend the rest of our life running away

We got to find out just how much he knows

What do we do? Ask him?

No

No but we are going to be very nice to him

We are going to treat him like a long lost brother

Sooner or later he will give himself away

And if he does?

What will we do?

We'll decide upon that when the time comes

A professor

He claimed

That he burned his trousers standing in front of the fire giving lectures

Do you know

he got three new suits out of the company for that before anybody spotted that

-Three new suits -Look,Steve

It's fantastic,it's fantastic how insurance brings out the very worst in people

Stephen,here we are on a hot Spanish night listening to these gypsies

and all you can talk about is insurance

Gypsies are terribly (?)

Will you dance?

-Oh,yes -Do you mind if we dance?

Please,please be my guests

Have you known him long Jim?

Oh,yes

Well,not.. not very long I mean

I met him once in London and then of course here

He is very charming

Yes he is

He's Australian isn't he?

And rich?

Yes,he seems to have an awful lot of sheep

I hope you don't mind me saying this but

You seem very worried about something,are you?

Well,you know the last few months haven't been

Yes I am sorry

I suppose you still miss him very much

Yes I do

Do you fly?

Why?

I thought all Australian farmers flew to cover distances

Oh yes

Yes of course

How many sheep did you say you have?

I didn't

I only count them at night when I can't sleep

Is that often?

Might what you ask a lot of questions

You know it comes from being on a holiday alone

Every evening for the past week

I'd put on a clean white shirt and I've sat in front of some café or other

And I've been looking for a big adventure

And you know,nobody has spoken to me

Nobody at all

How strange

So now when I've met you two I can't stop talking

All those white shirts,it's very sad

You know the answer is you shouldn't go on holiday alone

But you did,didn't you?

I thought you met Stella when you were on holiday by yourself

Or isn't it a holiday at all? Are you on some kind of business?

I never go anywhere unless it's on business

Big business

Excuse me

Oh,incidentally I had to get you another room

Unofficially we are not married as yet

Besides he might,he might open up with you if he thinks he gets a chance

You know that book I told you about

-Is that your diary? -Yes

You know I had a diary once when I was a child

I used to write when I got up, breakfast rainy day

I bet yours is more sensational

Come on Stephen let me have a look

No it's private

Is there anything in there about us?

Stephen Stella come on

What's the matter?

I dreamt

You know I don't think he is so sure about us

I'm not so sure either

I just don't like being alone all night,that's all

You didn't seem to want me when I was there in with you

But I want you now

Now look,we are not supposed to be married

Now we didn't have to be married,don't you remember?

I'm sorry,darling

But just now you have to be an honest respectful and heartbroken widow

You love it don't you?

I mean you love taking risks and and

Teasing him because you think he's trying to catch insurance..-Quiet

You think you are far too clever for him and everyone else in the world,don't you?

You like that much more interesting than just us being together

Now please be patient

It'll only be another few days

You know what I really got to be worried about?

In another few days you may have forgotten who you are

Good Night

It's a pity it all got to end,isn't it?

Now what got to end

Stella

Can't always go on pretending,can I?

Pretending what?

That I am a rich millionaire with no work to do

Where is Jim?

I don't know he

Stella thought you drowned or something

He never seem to like us

First reach the beach

I didn't bring it with me today

What? Cigarettes?

Oh? It's that what you were looking for?

Yes I was looking for some cigarettes

Well,let's go and take some of Stella's,OK?

Thank you

Do you see what he is doing now?

What do you take with that thing? Wild game over the Essex marshes?

-No I take everything -Yes I bet you do

Now here we go

Jim

Jim,don't be bashful

Now turn round,hold it,ready

Marvellous

Here,let's me

Come on,I'll take one of yours with Stella

and then you can have her in a large picture at home

and it will go all through the lonely summer

Now come on now

Now,Stephen,Stephen get a bit closer to her

And now put your arms around her

That's better,now come on, look at each other

Now let's see those happy smiling faces

Trying it?? Oh,hoo

I'm terribly sorry

-That's a pity because that was a.. -Never mind

-pretty good camera -I'll get you a new one

Stephen

That was very stupid of me

Was it?

And I waited till my "Billy" boiled

come a-waltzing Matilda, with me

-Waltzing Matilda -That's an Australian song,isn't it?

Clever music you get,go South folks for ??

You're being Australian this evening

I can't help it,it's the drink you know

-Puts me in my own home -I'm tired,I'm going up

-Coming? -That sounds like an invitation

Now doesn't that sound like an invitation,Stephen?

-Ah,Good Night -Good Night,dear Mrs Black

You know I wish she meant it that way

-Charming woman Mrs Black -Yes

Wonderful

It's a shame about her husband

I met him once

-Did you? -No,never

What was he like?

He was a nice enough sort of chap but..

Hopeless in business,you know how it is

No sense about money

I bet she does better in the future

Of course,she still misses him terribly

Oh,I don't know

I think she'll forget about him

Eventually

Well,I think I'll go in now

-Good Night -Good Night

You know it's awfully good of you to ask me out tonight

It's a pleasure.

I didn't want won't to be a nuisance to you in any way..

-..at all -Not at all,why do you say that?

Well,I wouldn't want to interfere in any of your plans

You won't interfere with them,old sport?

Happy dreams

Good Night

See you in the morning

When the ??

Sleep well

Rex

Come up here

Get inside

-I got him! -Oh,thank you

Good shot!

You know when I was a child we used to have traps for wasps all over our garden

Horrible little pots full of jam and water

They used to fall in and drown

Would you like me to make you a trap?

No,thank you

I've got to go to Malaga

Can you two take care of each other?

We'll find something to do

Yes I'm sure you won't and you both

-What's the business today,Jim? -Sheep,what else

I've just had a letter from the bank, everything is been finally fixed

What do you want to do with him all day?

Try and get a look at that little notebook of his

You'll find a way,you clever little old darling

And I'll get those earrings insured for you,the full value

You want to light one of these?

Why?

For a wish

Something like that

Will it make it come true?

No I'm trying

All right

Well,if it doesn't work,they'll be pretty anyway

-Quanto por El... -50,senorito

Gracias

Here is a present for you

Oh,mighty,makes me feel

-Rather grand and unapproachable -Oh,I'm sorry

Like a great duchess or something

I didn't mean it that way

You know,Jim would never spend a day like this

I mean he,he hates museums and hate the smell of churches and things

Were you married in a church?

-Married? -To Mr Black

-Well,before.. -I'm just curious

What a laugh

No,as a matter of fact

we married in the Croydon Registrar's Office one rainy afternoon

I remember Rex was just flying off some place

So we just picked up two witnesses off the street

I told you he hated the smell of churches

I thought you said that about Jim

They are rather alike

I suppose if you got married again

You'd be very rich

With all those sheep

I'm not particularly attracted by them

Stella,you can't go on like this,can you?

I mean you may enjoy for a little while but you can't really go on this way

What do you mean?

Drifting around the world spending insurance money some time you got to stop

Look there's something I got to say to you

No,please don't

Why?

Well,I...

I just

Can't bear it,that's all

When anybody said this, something got to say

I don't know why but I never want to hear it

Please don't say it yet

All right

Guess we'd better going back,ah?

I don't know when I've had such a lovely day

Thank you

What are you doing here?

Don't you know?

Well,there it is the draft

You can cash it now anywhere in the world

I don't have to stay here any longer?

No

No charges but when you wish to draw

Please allow a few days so the bank can notify us and we can clear it

BTW

I'd like you to do something else for me

I've bought a pair of earrings,I wonder if you mind insuring them

-Of course -There's the bill

Yes I'll have

Our insurance department will take care of that

-Yeah -Thank you

The white shirt

It worked at last

I guess that was it

It wasn't just something that happened on a holiday,was it?

I know these things never happen on holidays

Not that they ever happened on my holiday before

Or is just that?

You know,I've been thinking all this time

You must been in love with him

?? or a sheep farmer

And nothing strange or romantic about working in paint

Working in what?

Paint

You don't

I'm sorry I work for the new Quick Dry Paint company

The insurance company

I got a better offer from the paint people just after I met you

They gave me this holiday before I started

I've been so lucky

Lucky?

Yes,seeing your car when I was driving to Gibraltar

What do you keep writing in that

little book of yours?

My little charge book? I've kept it

Oh,places,things,restaurants

A lot of nonsense about you

You want to read it?

Paint

-Do you think I was wrong? -Oh no

Insurance is safer

Did you think so?

Oh no,I love you being in paint

It's a wonderful job for you,stay in paint

Please stay

Rex!

She is a maid

Why do you say Rex?

I meant Jim,of course Jim

Poor Jim

Yes

-Hello Stephen -Will you do with a drink?

Yes,thank you

What will you have?

Well,whatever

A cerveza

-And you? -Scotch,please

-How the sheep? -Fine,fine closed the deal

Well,what have you been up to all day?

Oh,we went around

See the bullring?

No

Then I had to write letters,reports, telephone calls,took me ages to get through

Where to?

London

The head office

That was a bit extravagant of you,wasn't it?

I reversed the charges

It was urgent

What was it about?

Just something they wanted me to find out for them,while I was in Spain

-Cheers -Cheers

Rex

What?

-There's something I felt. -Who did you say?

Jim,of course I meant Jim

You know it's just as I felt I want..

-Hello,Stella -Hi

Would you excuse us please Stephen

-Yes -Thank you

It's finally beginning to give himself away,he called me Rex

Oh,that's a rather a good name for you, don't you think that Mr

Do you know that he's been telephoning London all afternoon?

Yes

Obviously talking about the case of the late Rex Black

That has put an end to a perfectly sound business

The future death and disappearance of James Jerome

Now listen Rex let me tell you

You mean

You're not going do another trick?

Look I got the draft today

I want you to keep it,put it in your bag

Before he tries to get us arrested

He's going to keep right up with us

We'll leaving first thing in the morning

Before he gets up

We get across the border to Gibraltar and get lost in North Africa

Now,wait a minute,you mean to say that

That you're not going to be able to do any more tricks

not for Jim Jerome or anything?

How can we now when they are on to us

What were you going to tell me?

Oh,nothing

I'm going upstairs and start getting some things together

In the last two weeks you haven't been able to eat a thing

Now I am hungry

Suddenly you are eating everything,why is that?

I don't know really,I don't know

Excuse me I'm going inside again

Stella

I wish you tell him

Oh,no

But he's bound to find out some time

I wish we could just be out

I've only got a small flat

Stephen

It's like the place you used to have when I first came to see you

Listen

Stop dreaming

I mean

I mean just don't count anything

They shouldn't have done it

What?

Married her,I mean look at mum

that's what she is going to turn into at no time all

Blasted fools

Why do you get so speak so angry in cars

What's going on here?

I did tell you not to count on anything

You didn't even leave a message

I know

This is what you really want,isn't it?

A big car and lots of money

Please

It's all right I didn't come to make a scene

I thought you'd better have this back

If you want to explain why you lost it

Stephen

We left a message for you at the hotel,didn't you get it?

No

That's why I'm here to say good bye to you

That was very thoughtful of you

Won't you go for a drink further up in the mountains?

Follow me

Yes I follow you there

-You killed him -He should get out of my way

Stop being hysterical we'll be at the frontier in a minute

The draft still in your bag?

Passports

Gracias

Diga me? Si

Coche blanco americano

Con aleta rota

Si

Espero un momento

Si

Muy bien acuerdo

Sight seeing my old darling

Go away

Does it not shun(?) you the smell of these places?

Horrible old ?? bones

Leave me alone

You were so pure,won't you?

Oh,you were way above the sort that looked to make a quick 40000

Now you got your hands on that money, you might get a little bit greedy

Come on,how did you do about it?

It's old Rex's hard earned cash what he has been saving up for his old age

I shout it out,I tell them you've killed him,I'll tell them

Give it to me it's my money

Nobody can cash it unless they are want to be tried for murder

Why not?

-You insured my earrings didn't you? -Yes

-At that bank? -Yes

One of them is in Stephen's pocket

They'll find out and then they knew the one who killed him

If you try to cash that draft anywhere in the world,they'll catch you

How did he get it?

I lost it

Where?

In his bed

At the time he was just after me,he left insurance and he worked in paint

He is just a nice man I find him kind

You

You filthy

Oiga

Por favor,venga con migo

Por favor venga accompanarme

Un momento

Would we be delayed here long?

No,the plane will take off in a couple of minutes

How did he find out?

I told him

Well it's all right to be jealous, but he needn't gone mad with it

I always thought he was watching me

Perdon Señora

Please,Madam

It seems that you were in the car which was the cause of the so called accident

Perhaps you can help us

I was too close behind him, we had no quarrel at all

Mr Jerome why should he wish to cause my death?

He just invited me to a pick-nick

So you wish to make no complaint against Mr Jerome?

You don't kill someone when you just invited him to a pick-nick?

Very well,I shall accept your explanation

One have to put up the insurance premium

on anyone who wants to make love to you

You're an occupational risk that's what you are

Señora,Mr Jerome's passport been found

this is the place to go to, you may use black car

You really not going to love this?

Take care of it

What a pity

Jim Jerome

Isn't it insured?

James Jerome an Australian citizen

Have you known this person a long time?

He was just a man I

Met on holiday

I'm sorry
