Original subtitles

[Max] This is my boss, Jonathan hart,

a self-made millionaire.

He's quite a guy.

This is Mrs. H. She's gorgeous.

She's one lady who knows how to take care of herself.

By the way, my name is Max.

I take care of both of them, which ain't easy,

'cause when they met, it was murder.

[Theme music playing]

Oh, that's beautiful.

[Man] It is nice, isn't it, Mrs. Hart?

Uh, that's from the vandergrif collection.

We have several other pieces,

including one magnificent piece

that I've been saving just for you.

Would you like to see it?

I'd love to.

Excuse me.

I'll be right back.

[Sighs]

[Gasps]

[Man] But surely, Mrs. Hart...

Of course not, Mr. Pond.

Mrs. Hart may have been late for an appointment.

Or perhaps she simply walked out

without realizing she had the bracelet on.

Although I must admit,

it is a delicate situation.

But what are we going to do, Mr. Lajoie?

Send the bill to Mr. Hart.

By messenger.

Good afternoon, Mrs. Hart.

- Good afternoon. - How are you?

Excellent, thank you.

I know it's bad for business...

But when I look at you,

I wonder why you come here.

It is called preservation, darling.

All our customers don't have to be after-the-fact.

[Laughs]

When you get to be my age, you'll be so glad

you've had the benefit of my treatments.

Good afternoon, Lily.

Tell me,

you have been taking the vitamins as instructed?

Every morning.

Good. Very important.

Yeah, the, uh, tonal root cleanser and astringent?

- Every evening. - [Lily] Wonderful.

The avocado-and-egg beauty mask?

Religiously.

Oh, oh, except this morning.

Um...

Jonathan had it for breakfast. [Chuckles]

- Oh. - [Snickers]

Well, at least he has good taste.

Oh, he didn't seem to think so.

Shall I take Mrs. Hart, miss Von borg?

Now, you know very well that I always

take care of Mrs. Hart personally.

Shall we, dear?

Mmm.

[Sighs]

Now, let's see, you've completed five treatments.

Only seven to go.

Excellent.

Why don't you get undressed, relax,

and I'll be back in a moment.

All right, Lily.

Oh. And don't forget to put your bag away.

I won't.

Oh...

You know, a younger man would've gotten that shot, miles.

Sure, a younger man with a 12-foot reach.

Come on, let's get a drink.

- All right. - Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.

Loser pays the tab, as always.

Now, that's a tradition I won't argue with.

Thanks very much, miles.

Thank you, sir.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

You were just too good for me today, Jonathan.

I got lucky. I hit a couple of good shots.

You've improved a lot since our college days.

Oh, thanks a lot, miles.

Wasn't it amazing that we ran into each other

at that abco investors meeting?

- Mmm. - [Chuckles]

Did you get in on that deal?

- I sure did. - Now, how'd you do?

Well, frankly, I...

I took a beating on that one.

But, uh... all in all,

the market's been treating me well.

Now, look, uh, enough shoptalk, okay.

How's lovely Jennifer?

[Laughs]

-She's just that. I'm a lucky man. -Uh-huh.

You sure are.

Well, I guess I'll be seeing both of you tonight.

At the going-away party for Michelle and Gerry Cooper.

At Laura bevins' house, right?

They're a terrific couple, aren't they, huh?

Uh, excuse me, sir.

Um, may I have a word with you, please?

- Everybody wants a hot tip. - [Chuckles]

I'll be right back. Hold on.

Hi, sport, how you doing?

Good to see you.

[Inaudible discussion]

Anything wrong?

Oh, no, no, nothing.

Uh, just, uh... A mild mix-up.

I straightened it all out.

Well, uh, what do you say, next week?

Same time, same place?

I gotta get even.

[Laughs]

- You got it. - Okay.

I'll see you tonight, miles.

Quiet, everybody, quiet.

Grab a glass of something.

We're toasting the captain and his mate.

Oh.

To Michelle and Gerry.

Bon voyage. Have a wonderful cruise.

Don't buy too much, don't eat too much...

And don't forget the dramamine.

[All laugh]

Cheers.

Go, go. Do it.

[All laughing]

Music.

Music.

[Soft jazz music plays]

Jennifer. How about a dance

while the music is still slow?

That is if you don't mind, Jonathan.

Well, uh... no, I don't mind,

but, uh... Watch his backhand.

I'll do that.

You look smashing tonight, Jennifer.

Oh, thank you, miles.

You look pretty natty yourself.

I suppose you've heard that Jonathan

- nailed me to the wall today? - [Laughs]

Yes, well, he did mention it in passing.

You know, he's getting better all the time.

How true.

Not beating your time, is he, Jonathan?

Well, I have to let him take advantage of me sometimes.

Come on. Let's give 'em something to be jealous about.

[Music stops]

[Applause]

Well...

Better luck next time.

Come here.

You know, Jonathan, I just realized

how much you remind me of my second husband.

Oh. How's that?

Tall, dark, handsome...

And very successful.

Well, thank you.

Will you excuse me for a moment?

I'll... I'll be right back.

Well, nothing I've said, I hope.

[Laughing]

Well, I thought the whole party was wonderful.

The champagne was certainly wonderful.

Oh, yeah, the champagne was wonderful.

And the cake.

- Oh, the cake. - Scrumptious.

And the champagne.

Yeah, you said about the champagne before.

- I did? - Mmm-hmm.

Oh. Well...

I thought the whole party was wonderful.

[Giggling]

You know, there's a lot of men

that could take advantage of a lady in your condition.

[Giggling] Oh.

Well, it's a good thing I'm not a lady.

[Laughs]

Oh...

- I love you. - Mmm.

[Barks]

- Not now, freeway. Go on. - [Whimpers]

Go on. Go on.

[Groans, laughs]

- [Jennifer] Aw. - Freeway.

[Whistles] Come here, boy.

- Come here. Come on. Come here. - Oh, Jonathan.

You didn't.

[Clicks tongue]

No, I didn't.

The night that we had our first date?

No, darling.

[Stammers] Oh, the night we met?

Uh, then it was... Had to be, uh...

Oh. Oh. The time you asked me to marry you. The time I said yes.

Oh, no. That was the same time.

-Darling... -ah, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

It's not our anniversary, I know that.

It's got to be... [gasps]

Oh, I've got it.

- What? - [Laughing] Oh.

- What? - Jonathan, that's so cute.

Our first kiss.

Oh, of course.

You were so shy.

Yeah, because your father was standing behind the door.

Ha-ha. That's it, isn't it?

Now, look. Let me tell you something.

- What? - We can go like this

- all night long, okay? - Uh-huh.

But... I did not buy that necklace for you...

- Yes, you did. - No, I didn't.

And it's the anniversary of a special date,

- but you're not telling me because you want... - you bought the necklace.

- [Laughing] No. - Yes, you did.

And I have the bill from the jewelry store to prove it.

I don't care about the bill.

The only thing I care about

is that I love you very much.

And you are the most wonderful person in the whole world.

Uh-huh.

- And so are you. - Thank you.

And you're also the most unpredictable.

[Laughs] Thank you.

But I wouldn't have you any other way, honey.

Good morning, darling.

Good morning.

Oh, I must have overslept.

I'm late for my appointment with Lily.

- Lily? - Uh-huh.

Again?

Haven't you been seeing a lot of her lately?

Well, it's a very intensive program at first.

You see, she gives you a series of treatments

that you can do at home,

uh, vitamin therapy.

And then she teaches you how to use all her own products.

What's the payoff?

The payoff is

that you keep the girlish complexion you were born with.

I like your face just the way it is.

Well, thank you very much.

That is precisely why I intend to keep it that way

as long as possible.

You see, this is an entirely new discipline.

And I don't want to be late.

Hey, wait a minute. I want to talk to you about last night.

Last night was wonderful.

Talk to you about it over lunch?

See you later.

Try to relax, Jennifer.

Let the tension flow right out of your body.

Now... open your eyes, Jennifer.

Focus on the light.

It is so tranquil, so serene.

You feel so peaceful as you go deeper

into your dream state.

Deeper and deeper.

You hear nothing but the sound of my voice.

Yes, Lily.

When we are together,

the power of my suggestions

become stronger and stronger.

Yes.

When you are in your dream state,

you follow my instructions.

Now, you did very well with the bracelet and the necklace.

When you wake,

you will remember nothing about them, Jennifer.

Do you understand?

I understand, Lily.

Good.

Tonight, when it is safe,

you will again enter your dream state.

I have another favor I'd like you to do for me.

[Jennifer] Anybody home?

Oh, yeah. Hi, darling.

Where are you? Oh.

- How was Lily's? - Oh, it was fine.

Only thing is I'm a little sleepy.

Must have been last night.

- Yeah, I have to talk to you about last night. - What about it?

Well, uh, the necklace.

Did you put it back in our safety deposit box or something?

What necklace?

[Telephone rings]

I'll get it.

Hello?

Hello, Laura.

Oh, yes. We had a wonderful time. Thank you.

Really?

How awful.

Yes, I certainly will.

Well, you let us know what happens, won't you?

All right. Bye-bye.

Well, Laura had a robbery.

Someone stole her diamond-and-emerald necklace.

Emerald-and-diamond necklace?

Oh.

Weren't you talking to me about a necklace?

Darling, are you all right?

Why is everyone suddenly talking about necklaces?

Maybe I'll just go upstairs...

- And lie down a little bit before lunch. - That's a good idea.

I hope I'm not coming down with something.

No, it's... Probably like you said, you're just tired.

I'll take a little nap.

[Door opens]

[Door closes]

[Telephone line rings]

Monsieur lajoie? This is Jonathan hart.

Yes, monsieur hart. How are you?

Oh, fine, fine, thank you very much.

I was just a little curious about that bill

that you sent to me yesterday.

Uh, I hope there is nothing wrong.

No, no. There's nothing wrong.

It's just that I need a description of the necklace for my insurance company.

You mean the bracelet.

Yes, uh, the bracelet.

Forgive me, monsieur hart.

I will send it over immediately.

It's just that the circumstances of the purchase

were a bit unusual.

What do you mean by unusual?

[Jennifer] Hi.

Hi.

- Feeling any better? - Oh, I'm fine.

I-I-I just couldn't sleep. I never can in the day.

Well, I just got off the phone with, uh, monsieur lajoie.

- Really? - Mmm-hmm.

What did he have to say?

Oh, nothing. I just called him about some Vanderbilt pieces

that he had a collection of.

Oh. How nice.

Darling...

You're not having any dizzy spells or headaches,

or anything like that, are you?

No. Why?

No blackouts? Nothing like that?

Jonathan. You're treating me like a patient.

- I feel fine. - You're sure?

- I just want you to keep feeling fine. - Oh.

So far,

our experiment is proving to be quite lucrative.

The drug I'm giving Jennifer hart

is working beyond my expectations.

- Uh, you mean the vitamins you're giving Jennifer hart? - Mm, what else?

You know something?

You're an amazing woman, Lily.

You're an amazing man.

And, you know,

with your social contacts,

there is no end to what we can do together, miles.

I mean, together.

[Drawer closes]

[Car starting]

- Jennifer. - [Gasps]

[Gasps, grunts]

Hey!

[Engine starts]

[Tires screech]

[Tires screech]

[Siren blaring]

Was I...

Able to drive home?

Well, um...

We drove home in my car,

and I managed to lose the patrolman.

Then Mr. H phoned me.

And I got a cab, and went back and grabbed your car fast.

Otherwise, you'd be begging some judge for adjoining cells.

I can't believe it.

I stole jewelry from Michelle and Laura.

Not Michelle.

But I tried.

What difference does it make?

My two good friends.

Jonathan...

What's happening to me?

That's what we're gonna find out, darling.

Do you remember Bob chase?

Mmm, no.

Bob chase was a psychologist

that I hired to test the effects of stress

on hart industry executives.

Don't you remember?

I'm going around the bend, aren't I?

I could wind up in an institution.

I could lose everything.

Not everything.

You've got me.

[Bob] All right, Jennifer...

I want you to open your eyes.

[Sighs]

Did it work?

It's not bad. It's the first session.

But if I'm gonna help,

we have to go deeper.

- [Sighs] - Send in Mr. Hart.

- How'd it go? - [Sighs]

We didn't get too far today.

You feeling all right?

Just a little opening-night jitters.

Sit down.

You-you're an excellent subject, you know.

Oh. [Chuckles] Thank you.

You've been hypnotized before, haven't you?

Uh... oh, yes.

But it was a long, long time ago.

Oh, that wouldn't account for it.

Account for what?

She was resistant at first, but once she went under,

she responded as if she'd been conditioned.

- [Knock on door] - Come.

It's your neurology tests.

Mmm.

Good.

It's just as I thought. There's no sign of any abnormality in your brain scan.

Well, I've always said

the lady's had a good head on her shoulders.

You mean, I'm not a kleptomaniac?

No. Kleptomania doesn't arrive full-blown like that.

You would have had earlier symptoms.

Well...

I'll see you both tomorrow.

Now, in the meantime,

I want you to just go on with your normal activities.

- Thank you. - Thanks very much, Bob.

Jonathan.

You read the report I did on your executives.

Yes, I did. I found it very interesting.

You'd better give a copy to Jennifer.

Stress kills.

See you tomorrow.

Do you want to pick me up later, darling?

There's no sense in you waiting around.

Oh. I don't mind if you don't mind.

Okay.

Oh, look, there's miles.

[Jonathan] Oh, what's he doing here?

[Jennifer] Oh, he's probably just visiting Lily.

They're great friends.

As a matter of fact, he recommended Lily to me.

- Really? - Mmm-hmm.

He raves about her whenever he gets the chance.

You're scheduled for a body wrap today.

That takes several hours.

You see, we don't really have facilities for guests.

But if you insist.

- I insist. - I see.

Well, make yourself comfortable.

Jennifer, shall we start?

Sorry. Ladies only.

May I help you with something?

Sir?

[Lily] Let's get you all nice and relaxed.

Why don't you concentrate on the lights? It's so peaceful.

[Exhales]

Take one deep, cleansing breath.

[Inhales and exhales deeply]

That's right.

Now close your eyes, Jennifer.

Shut out all the other sounds around you,

and listen to the sound of your own breathing.

Deep and rhythmic.

Hear the world around you.

Now you will hear only the sound of my voice.

She even cured me of my migraine headaches.

I've had them forever, and nothing ever worked before.

How did she do that?

She taught me self-hypnosis.

Simple as one, two, three.

Really?

She does that too, huh?

Sure.

How long have you been working here?

Not long. A couple of months. Why?

Well, I was just wondering,

does, uh, miss Von borg...

Uh, when she gives her treatments,

does she have an assistant in the room with her

- or does she give them alone? - It depends.

What is it that you wanted, anyway?

Well, I was, uh...

Just waiting for my wife.

Oh.

[Laughs]

Well...

I guess I'd better get back to work. [Giggling]

The jewelry you took from the coopers is not here.

What happened?

Jonathan followed me.

And then what?

He took me to a doctor this morning.

Who?

Dr. Chase.

He's a psychologist.

I want... [sighs]

I want you to come back here this afternoon.

You will find a way.

Yes, Lily.

See you soon, Jennifer.

Thank you, Lily.

How was the body wrap, darling?

I'll find out about it later.

I had a long talk with Lily's assistant today.

- [Jennifer] Oh? - Yeah.

- Did you know that Laura is one of her clients? - Really?

And a lot of your friends go to her.

Well,

her treatments are certainly wonderful.

Word gets around, darling.

Why shouldn't some of my friends go to her?

When she gives the treatments,

Lily is alone in the treatment room with the client, right?

That's right.

I think she's getting a lot of information that she shouldn't have.

Like what?

Like the code to the coopers' alarm system.

I had the code to the Cooper alarm system.

They gave it to me when they asked me to water their plants

while they were away last week.

Did Michelle also give you the combination of the safe in their bedroom?

Don't you see, darling?

It all ties together, and there's something wrong.

And I've gotta figure it out.

Now, the woman is not legitimate.

But she's world-famous.

She may be world-famous,

but I still don't think she's legitimate.

- What are you doing? - I'm gonna call the club.

I had a tennis date with miles. I'll cancel it.

Not on my account, I hope.

No, it's just that I don't want to leave you alone.

Darling, I won't be alone.

Max is here.

I don't need a babysitter.

Maybe you're right.

I wouldn't mind seeing miles, anyway.

I can find out a little bit more information

about his friend, Lily.

Uh-huh. Good.

And remember, Dr. Chase said that we're just supposed to

carry on our lives as usual.

You're not to treat me like an invalid.

Okay.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna wheel myself into the kitchen and play gin with Max.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Hey, miles.

I saw your Lily Von borg's salon today.

Is that how you keep those boyish good looks?

[Laughs] It was just, uh, a minor skin irritation.

She took care of it for me.

- Oh, yeah? I thought she was strictly for the ladies. - Well, uh...

Wherever the ladies are, old miles can't be far behind.

Come on. Serve up.

[Hisses in frustration]

Follow the bouncing ball.

Guess I don't feel much like singing today.

Service.

[Telephone ringing]

I'll get it.

Hello?

Jennifer?

I want you to come now.

All right.

Max. Uh...

Let's finish this later.

Mrs. H, you can't quit on me like this.

All I need is one card for gin...

I feel like getting some fresh air, Max.

And why don't I just go pick up some...

Some special dessert for dinner?

- I'll keep you company. - No, no, no.

I'd rather go alone.

Look, I know Jonathan's on to something.

He was asking questions about you.

Yes, I had a feeling he was a bit too chatty with my assistant.

But be calm, miles.

There is no reason to panic.

I mean, soon Jennifer will have

outlived her usefulness, and we will simply move on to another subject.

I mean, Jennifer has no memory of any of this.

So your Mr. Hart can't really prove

that we're involved in any way.

I think you're underestimating Jonathan hart, Lily.

He's a very shrewd man.

Well, if he's shrewd enough to become an obstacle,

that's too bad.

We will just have to deal with that.

[Sighs]

Oh, Lily, come on, uh...

I mean, I need money, and I've been willing to betray old friends to get it.

But I'm not getting involved in anything heavier.

Neither am I.

Directly.

You see, she's completely under my control.

She'll do anything and everything I suggest.

Including disposing of her husband, if necessary.

I don't know, Lily. Uh...

You know, miles...

You have to get over that innate distrust you have of people.

It doesn't become you, my dearest.

Hmm?

[Exhales]

[Max] She wanted fresh air.

Said she might pick up some dessert for dinner.

I already called the pastry shop.

She was as okay as you or me.

She made it very clear she wanted to be alone.

Said she'd be right back.

Yeah, she'd better be right back.

Look, Mr. H. You told me to keep an eye on her.

You didn't say hold her a prisoner.

Yeah, I know, Max. I know.

Stop.

Come away from the air, Jennifer.

That's right.

Walk to me.

- She was really gonna jump. - Of course.

With the drugs I've been using,

she's been able to respond to my every command.

You've made your point, Lily.

No more doubts?

Good.

We have one more job for you, Jennifer.

Concentrate on the sound of my voice.

Yes, Lily.

This afternoon, you will pay a visit to your bank.

And if Jonathan tries to interfere,

you will kill him.

You will kill Jonathan if he tries to get in your way.

Now, Jennifer, tell me,

what will you do

if Jonathan tries to get in your way?

I will kill him.

[Jonathan] Darling?

Iwas thinking that it would be a good idea to drive up to Mrs. Johnson's

and have a piece of homemade apple pie.

[Jennifer] But I have some errands to run.

I thought you already did some errands.

[Jennifer] I did, but I didn't get them all done.

Well, uh, can't they wait?

[Jennifer] Well, I'd sort of like to clean them up.

How about tomorrow?

Sure, tomorrow would be fine.

[Jennifer] Good.

You sure are busy these days, aren't you?

Well, I'm trying to keep my mind off things.

And Dr. Chase did say that we should carry on

with our normal routine.

Is Max gonna drive you?

No, I'm gonna take the station wagon.

Well, why don't I take you, and then afterwards...

Oh, that's all right, darling. I feel fine.

I really do.

I'll see you at dinner.

Punctual until the very end.

I like that, Jennifer.

Come in.

[Lily] Quite a collection, isn't it?

[Exhales]

[Laughs]

This will be worth a small fortune on the black market.

And this is only the beginning.

As we have proved that it can work,

thanks to Mrs. Jennifer hart.

Where is she, by the way?

In the treatment room.

Out.

- [Whispers] Darling. - [Small gasp]

- Darling. - Jon...

[Exhales]

Lily, um...

Oh, miles, we already discussed this.

We can't carry this amount of jewelry

without some sort of protection. Take it, now.

Come on.

I'm going to awaken Jennifer and send her on her way.

I'm sure that she'll be very happy

to go back to being Mrs. Jonathan hart.

A lot poorer and none the wiser. [Gasps]

It may not work out that way, Lily.

I believe that that belongs to us.

I'm amazed at you, miles.

Treating an old school chum like that.

Not to mention what you've done to my wife.

Jonathan.

Give me the bag.

Give me the bag.

[Gunshot]

You don't mind if I let the police in on your treatment?

Jennifer.

Remember our previous conversation?

Lieutenant grey, please.

Jonathan...

Put down the phone.

Grey: Hello?

Hm?

- Kill him, Jennifer. - Hello.

[Inaudible over phone]

Now.

Do it.

[Gun cocks]

[Object clatters]

Hey. What's going on in there?

[Jennifer] I'm just trying to get

Lily Von borg out of my life.

A-ha.

That is it. From now on, it's just soap and water.

Au naturel. Just the way I like it.

Uh-huh.

Oh, there's just two more things in my bag over there.

Lip-gloss and blusher.

Darling, did you go shopping today?

Shopping? No, not really.

What did you really do?

Well, to be perfectly honest, I...

I went to thank Mr. Lajoie for being so understanding.

Dr. Chase...

Said you could have some reoccurring impulses.

- Really? - Mmm-hmm.

Well...

[Laughs]

to be perfectly honest again...

I did see something there

that was absolutely irresistible.

- Uh-huh. - A gold watch.

[Laughs] Isn't it beautiful?

- I knew you'd love it. - Oh, it's marvelous.

- But, uh, do... - Jonathan.

- You don't think that I... - No, of course not.

- Are you sure? - Did you?

Well...

To be perfectly honest, I...

I did pick up a little

- something to go with it. - What else?

[In French accent] The bill for the watch.

You are bad.

Ain't I just?

[Theme music playing]
