"Maybe she is waiting(song).

Feel that again I like it

Darling

Who is that?

My husband

Tilda

You never told me you were married

You never asked me

Tilda? Have you got to bed?

What can I tell him?

What do you usually tell him?

Tilda

I'm in here,Tom

The old man decided to
send Jack instead of me

than he could go onto Edinburgh,
which is his territory anyway

I told them yesterday but
nobody pays any attention..

Good Evening,find your little
lady on the loose outside

Fortunately the address was on the collar

Tom, this is..

Easton,Max Easton

That's very good of you,Commander

I really am most grateful

Not at all

Now have a drink,won't you?

Thank you,now I really must be off

You have to be careful,little lady,
next time it may not end so pleasantly

Good Night

You wouldn't change
your mind,Commander?

Stay and have a drink with us

Actually I was on my way to bed

-I see you out
-Don't bother,please

My dear fellow,I'm very honoured

-It really was frightfully good of you
-Please,don't mess

I can't think how the little brute got out?

These things happen

You want to come to us again,won't you?

-Good Morning
-Good Morning

-Good Morning,Miss Pryce
-Good Morning,Commander

-Morning,Sutters
-Good Morning,Sir

-Good Morning,Jam
-Good Morning,Max

You are up and around early

Has war been declared in
the other departments?

No,serious I'll only got
squash at five o'clock

It's all very well for you and
Tommy start these people

the submarine hasn�t been built yet

But I can't slip away at 4 30

You may have been spotted

You know I think he had arm in
for the last two weeks

He probably suspects you have nothing to do

Probably

What's on our practice this morning,Sir?

Rather quiet,really Sir

Good Morning,Sir

-Good Morning
-Good Morning,Beds

Doing your blood hound act again,I see

What files have you lost today?

I do not lose files,other
people fail to return them

I see here the 27-928 has been
in your department,Easton

for two weeks and four days

-Really? Brian,have we got 27-whatever it is
-928

928?

27-928

I think that never happens in
my department I am glad to say

Now I remind you,Larkin,
of this afternoon's inter service meeting

the last one seems to slip your memory

Yes,right there,wrong time,
that was all,old boy

You're expected too,Easton

Oh,no that means I have to
go and change into uniform

I am sorry

2 30,Ministry of Supply

I don't think I like that man

Don't be silly,we change,we go and
we don't come back here afterwards

That's brilliant

Sub,confirm the squash court for 4 o'clock

Certainly,Sir

Look I am in a rather hurry

I got a date,do you mind I
have a shower first?

-Help yourself
-Thanks

Excuse me

-Your name is Easton,isn't it?
-Yes

Holland,Charles Holland
we met in Murmansk in 41

Your submarine was slightly damaged

Those were heavens years,
how nice to see you

You got me out of a rather nasty jam,
and I don't mean the submarine

We all grown up a little since then

You're still in the Navy?

That's a moot point,I am warming
a seat at the Admiralty

You are with the Foreign Office still?

Yes,I just finished four
years in Washington

Can I drop you somewhere?

Join in

Straight to Richmond

Right,Sir

I beg you pardon

I am sorry,Mrs Killain,Commander Easton

-How do you do
-How do you do

Whereabouts is King's Road,Easton?

Anywhere,Sloane Square will do

That's on our way isn't it?

I hope I'm not a nuisance

Run into Easton just now in the club,
haven't seen him since the war

We've been having one of those dreadful

whatever happens to old boys
conversation,isn't it not?

It's really makes one feel quite old

You must feel it more than most,Easton

Chair borne in the Admiralty after
spending most of your life at sea

Virginia,you must have read about Easton?

His fame must have reached America

He was one of our most distinguished
submarine commanders,he sank..

Holland this is most embarrassing,
Mrs Killain doesn't want to..

Killain? I met a Killain once
in Baltimore,charming man

He wouldn't be your husband
by any chance,would he?

Mrs Killain is a widow,her husband
was killed a few years ago

I am so sorry

All right,it's quite all right,
it's a natural mistake

It's not a very common name

-Here,Sir?
-Yes,that's fine

Good Night,Mrs Killain,
I do hope we meet again

I hope so Commander

Good Night,Easton,see you at the club

Of course

Let's not beat it off so long,next time

Indeed

Good Morning

-Good Morning,Miss Pryce
-Good Morning,Commander

-Good Morning,Sub
-Good Morning,Sir

What have we got on
our plate this morning?

Nothing that need us disturb on duty,Sir

There is a staff meeting,Clarence,
this afternoon at 3 pm

You're requested to attend a reception

for the Russian naval mission
on Wednesday 12th at 7 o'clock

Go on,I miss it

Admiral Essex requests views on
gyroscopic torpedo marked performance data

Telephone Directory,where is it?

Is that the last?

Admiralty Circular 64b
5204-7 reminding us yet again

we are all top secret in this department

And they never get tired of
keeping up the pretence

Will you get me Sloane 0181,please

To be read in a little time, Sir

All of which you can apply
your little atomic mind to

Hello

Hello

-Mrs Killain?
-Yes,speaking

Good Morning,this is Max Easton

Good Morning,Commander

Look,it sounds like a silly question,but
have you lost a glove by any chance?

Strangely enough,I have

I am so relieved,I wasn't sure it was yours

I found it on the payment
when you drove away last night

must have dropped off the car or something

I am most awfully sorry

That's quite all right,if you just
drop it an envelope and mail it to me

Yes,of course,I'm so sorry about this

Thanks,quite all right,
mail it to Flat 4 17..

Just a minute I'll get a pencil

Right what was that again?

Flat 4177 Eaton Square

Flat 4177 Eaton Square

Eaton Square well that's on my way
home I'll drop it in this evening,if I may

No,don't bother if you just mail it

It's no bother,it's the least
I can do to drop it in

Yes,Commander,do drop it in

Fine,Good Bye now

Right,where were we,Sub?

Riding to periscope depths and
closing in on an attacking course

Thank you

-Good Evening
-Good Evening,Commander

Won't you come in?

Thank you

May I offer you a drink?

I'd like that very much

Pink gin?

Yes

Thank you

This is a very pleasant room,
have you been here long?

Seven months,water?

Just a drop,please

You're staying for some time?

I'm trying to settle over here

Good

Thank you,I don't usually
lose gloves in that way

I don't usually find them

I'm sure

Do tell me,how did you come across Charles?

He was great friend of my husband

Really?

You sounded that I take it
you do not like Charles

On the contrary

I am very much impressed with dear
old Charles,he has come a long way

He'll probably talks some government
into starting the next war

Then I'll be able to go back to sea again

Charles has gone over to
Brussels this morning for talks

He may get the Embassy there

Splendid.How long is he away for?

A week or ten days

If you are at lose end by any chance

I would be delighted to
take you out to dinner

I'm so sorry,I can't,
I'm dining with friends

Some other time perhaps

Yes,of course

Yes I think old Charles would
make a splendid ambassador

Those are a breed of their own,aren't they?

Are they?

Yes,tall,elegant,highly
respectable and rather dull

Do you really think so?

Don't you?

You are talking about the
man I'm going to marry

Another drink,Commander?

Virginia

Been such a long time ago

I just knew something
was cocking last summer

When you and Charles spent
so much time together

Commander Easton,Mr and Mrs Parrish

-How do you do
-How do you do,Sir

Honey,we sure appreciate Charles
asking us to look after you

Charles is a real lucky guy,Commander

And we are so happy for the both of you

Hey,I am not left out of this,oh no

It's just great,honey

My favourite niece

I wish I could get to the wedding,honey

How about a drink

-Great
-Sure I'll love one

Commander,or have you time?

Martinis?

-Splendid
-Fine

Virginia,wherever are you
going to take us to dinner?

So long it isn't that terrible
place we went to last night

I don't think it was that bad

What about Claridge's?

Jason, we are staying there

How about a restaurant?

How about the Caprice's?

-Caprice's?
-We lunched there today,dear

(I doubt the crime outlives you)

I know a place

You do?

Wouldn't amuse you,it's
a little far away anyway

It's down beyond Tower of
London in the East End

In a cellar built by Napoleonic prisoners

-That sounds great
-Yeah

Do you know it,Virginia?

What's it called?

The Sly Old Fox

It sounds divine

I've never heard of it

It's an old smuggler's inn really

How do one get there ,Commander?

Little difficult to find do you know
Southwark at all,opposite Wapping steps?

Not intimately,no

You cross Tower Bridge passed the
Cathedral and on to the traffic lights

It's really rather complicated I am afraid

Commander,I was wondering maybe

if you are free this evening,
you care to join us?

I'd love to show you the way but I
really don't want to impose myself on you

Oh,but you wouldn�t be,Commander

we'll be indebted to you,
we'll be four,wouldn't we,Virginia?

Yes,we would

That's great then

This is really kind of you

Not at all,it's kind of you

Sounds more fun in any of
those divine places in Paris

You know,Commander,I don't think I like you

I�m sorry I thought I was
simply oozing with kindly charm

Which I find quite resistible

Commander,you are a rake

I wish you call me Max

All right,Max you are a rake

If we are going to sum each other up

you're heartless,beautiful but
heartless,you knew perfectly well

I was unaware of your engagement
with Charles,since you led me on

when I put my foot in it,you took pleasure
in me discovering it,that's being heartless

I'm sorry,I don't know how I did it

I accept your apology

That doesn't alter the fact, you are a rake

oozing with charm and you swapped
my glove to force your intentions on me

I'd never do a thing like that

Everybody,Cha Cha Cha

Come on,Jason,I just love
the cha cha cha,Commander

Will you have lunch with me tomorrow?

I don't think that would
be such a good idea

Besides,I'm having lunch with
some friends of Charles

All right,what about Saturday?

After all,Charles won't be
back until next week

and the least I could do for him
is to take good care of you

In memory of our wartime comradeship

You haven't answered my question

Will you have lunch with me on
Saturday aboard my ship?

That was fun

Commander,sure I'm grateful
to you taking us down here

I'm glad you liked it,now will you?

Commander has invited me
to lunch aboard his boat

-Ship
-Ship

Now you accept,Virginia

Last year in Jamaica we had dinner on
a naval boat, and it was really something

Even Adele couldn't complain

There you are,you see

Go on

So you accept it?

Tell me what else I can do

Why should I? I'm happy

To Saturday

We won't needing you this morning,Coldforth

Very good,Madam

There is a scarf in the pocket

Your sister's of course

Yes,you'd like her,she is very nice

Sure

What sort of a boat,pardon me,
ship are we going on,destroyer?

No

Cruiser?

No

No,don't tell me it is a submarine

No Promise you that

We've arrived

I might have guessed,your ship

I've a good mind to make you
take me straight back to London

No,can't do that

I promised to give you a lunch

If you don't want lunch on
board we'll have it over there

Then we go for a sail afterwards

If you think I'm going for a sail in
these clothes you are mistaken

There is a pair of jeans
and sweater on board

-Your sister's?
-Yes,one of my sisters

You wouldn't happen to know
what size she was,would you?

She is about your size,I would think

The food here is terribly good

I wouldn't mind having you in my crew

I don't think I care to join it

But if you are afraid of my competence

I can tell you I crew the Pelican when
she won her class in Wakiki four years ago

That would be before
Charles's time,no doubt

I suppose what you
see in Charles is security

Perhaps

You are marrying for money in other words

You talk as if I don't love Charles,I do

Passionately

Could get into dangerous waters

I don't think there are
any rocks around here

I'm not talking about navigation or hazards

Then we are talking about the same thing

I was implying that I might be more
of a matrimonial hazard if I were wealthy

Which,fortunately,you are not

Getting money is easy

Most people find it very difficult,how
would you go about getting money?

How much do you want,50000L 100000L?

Don't let be too specific,just money

We are going about

In the first place,one has
to have incentives

Let's imagine you supplied me with that

All right,let's imagine I have

Go on

It doesn't have to be pound
sterling as russian roubles would do

Certainly

In that case I just sell some top secret
through our friends across the bay?

But you don't know any top secrets?

Yes I do the admiralty is
absolutely full of the right memorandum

Then Charles and I come visit you in jail

No,you see a file was
disappearing from the Admiralty

and they've assumed that I've taken it

You? Have you?

Let's bring the main closer

And have you?

No,I have hidden it

Yes

Then I go on leave and I disappear

Just imagine them all at
the Admiralty,can't you see it?

Everybody jumping to conclusions

The press would be on it in no
time,digging up my news worthy past

They'd have a field day

In no time I'll be branded as a traitor

Fascinating inside to your character

but I still don't see how that
helps you to get money

Nor do I,really

Yes I do

I'll sue them for defamation of character

The newspapers,they've just printed
libellous statement about me

they'd said terrible things,
they'd ruin my career

I could sue them for thousands,
we'll collect a fortune

There you are,simple

We are going about

You know,Max,that's quite an ingenious idea

I told you it was easy

I'd even now where I disappear to

I'll be shipwrecked in this little tub

How?

Yes,out of coast of Scotland,Western Isles

A little group of rocks called the Skerries

I spent a leave sailing round there once,
nobody goes anywhere near them

Then you just turn up with a perfectly
innocent explanation and collect

Exactly

That's not all

What else?

I marry you

Do you?

Fair is fair,you said you
supplied the incentive

What about saying,no thanks

Would you?

I certainly would

Wouldn't have me for a husband?

You can hardly be described as a catch

I'll just see myself cooking your dinner
and waiting for the phone to ring

I'm sorry darling but the Admiralty
want me to work late tonight

Wondering what new sister you've found

I'd reform

You successfully spent the
last twenty years avoiding it

you are too old to change now

You know the more we talk,the more
Charles seems absolutely right for me

Those squalls coming our right?

I shouldn't be a bit surprised

I think I shall have to sacrifice
the old Shelldag after all

Once she is safely at
the bottom of the ocean

I shall have enough money to sink
Charles,steam you up in awe and then

You'd actually go to all
those lengths just for me?

Certainly

I do want to thank you for a lovely day

It isn't finished yet

To absent friends

Better,not him,my sisters

It's a very sad occasion I
crowned on this afternoon

You know Max,one of these days,
somebody may take you seriously

I hope so

You'll take me home,Max

Thank you

This is not my door I live at 177

I know that

But when you get to the door
you'll just say,Good Night Max

thanks for the lovely evening,
it's been lots of fun

I can't bear the thought of
not seeing you again

Of course we will see each other again

That's not what I mean

Virginia

Would you marry me?

Do you realize what you are saying?

I know that sounds strange and
imbecilic before,that's probably why

Will you?

Thank you

Drink?

Thank you

What about you?

No thank you

Max,I don't think we should
see each other again

It's not quite as simple as that

No,please finish your drink,
I'm sorry,it's not your fault or mine

But please go

Good Afternoon

Do you speak English?

A little

I was with a British ship 2 months

-It's a very difficult
-Yes,I can imagine

Do you speak English?

Actually my friends don't,but I do

How pity

Eastman appears to had a few

More I should say

Would you like me a word with him,Sir?

No,leave it,never seen him like this before

He's been a bit under the weather
the last few days,I have noticed it

He is off for leave tomorrow,isn't he?

Yes,ten days

Good I suppose he'll go away
somewhere,change would do him good

Do you speak English?

Not a word

You�re just the man I am looking for

You mean you don't
understand a word I'm saying?

The banana a very strange fruit

You see it is round and section very small

It has a certain length,it's about
that long,it's slightly curved

A very good health,Sir

This is made from potato,is it not?

Not at all ,Sir,made from, uh, grain

The overhead

You mustn't look confused,that'll
never do,I shall have to think

Money,that�s the thing

Six pence

Those operations belong to government

the main distributors of that

of course after a few of them
you'll be very very jolly

I think those foundation
is well and truly laid

Thank you very much,old boy

You and that Russian fellow
seems to speak as beams

What exactly do you mean by that?

I just said that you two seem to
get along like a house on fire

"I have decided to go.You leave me no alternative.
May the future bring us both better things.Max

Will you post this letter for me,please?

Certainly,Sir

And cancel all deliveries till you hear
from me,I'll be back on Monday a week

Very good,Sir

-Hey,hey nobody lies on that rod
-Sorry,Sir

Good Bye Max,enjoy yourself, have fun

Don't worry

I will

You just sign that

Thank you

Thank you

Havanna?

No,no

-Good Morning,Commander
-Good Morning

I thought you gone on leave

I left a one or two things in my office

-Anyway it's Saturday,you know
-I know

Miss Pryce

Yes,Sir

Have you seen "The world of Suzy Wong"?

Wong? No

A little paperback should be here,somewhere

Just say one of the girls that
swiped during the tea break

I don't think that's likely,Commander

It should be here,somewhere

That is if you left it here

Are you sure you didn't
take it home with you?

I know darn well I didn't
take it home with me

Then we'll find it

Did either of you take
" The world of Suzie Wong"?

No,Sir,but I read it

It must be somewhere here

It's a yellow book with a
chinese girl on the cover

Haven't you got any work to do?

Did you find it,Miss Pryce?

Not yet,Sir

It doesn't matter,it's not that important

This where I shall be in case
anyone wants to get in touch with me

Captain Dalfour in Scotland

-Good Bye
-Good Bye,Sir

-Good Bye,Miss Pryce
-Good Bye,Commander,have a nice time

We shall miss you

She be all right for 10 or
20 minutes,won't she?

As long as you are back by
12 I'll go for my lunch then

Fine

Won't be long

Excuse me,could you tell
me which is the "Karl Marx"?

That's over there,Sir

You have to get permission for the
Harbour Control if you want go aboard,Sir

I've no intention of going
to Harbour Control

I asked you a simple question

all I wanted is a straight forward
answer or is that asking too much?

Can I see your pass,Sir

My pass,is that all you can think of?

May I ask why you want to go on board her?

Did I say I wanted to go on board her?

And anyway what business is it of yours

Now look I am not here
as an ornament,you know

That is patently obvious

Can I have your name?

No,you cannot have my name

I've a good mind to report you

Forget it

What do you make of that bird?

What do I make of that? I'll soon fix him

Get me the gate

Charlie,who is that character in
a bowler hat you let in just now?

Late,thirties,good looking
I suppose,well dressed

la-di-da accent

What? You didn't

Right

Now calling the navy

Here the request from two
able seamen from HMS Eskimo

who sign themselves underpaid,
overworked and far from home

What? Yes

For their fianc�es Norina
and Rita of Muswell Hill

A lower eye

Darling,that's wonderful news,
I do congratulate you

First they didn't think I could
play bridge well enough

But you hate cards?

That's wasn't the impression
I gave our dear Lady Cynthia

who btw is a congenital card shark

Nevertheless than two trumps

did I seek concealed in that area
that fashion decree should be plunging

I think that though from the
point of view of concealing cards

and concealing Cynthia

would be preferable if our Ambassador's
wife was not such a slave to fashion

What about you has everybody
been looking after you?

Everyone has been very sweet

Even Commander Easton
took me under his wing

He took me sailing

And if I know our Max
he made a pass at you

He tried but I par him successfully

I am so glad you are back

I don't think we ever see Max Eastman again

I got a little note from
him yesterday I think it was

in which he,well,sort of apologized for his
behaviour and wished us the best of luck

You know at least he has principles

Your sleep service is
ready when you want,Sir

Thank you

I couldn't really ask my father
to come down to London

he is over eighty you know,
although you wouldn't think so

Half the time he behaves
like a retired eighty year old

And then there is my sister coming
out with her two little monsters

Yelling children and animals
all over the place

I'm afraid our romantic village
wedding in Scotland

is going to be a bedlam,my poor darling

I love it

And anyway I'm not marrying
them,marrying you

I just want to see what it
says about old Forrester

You mean your friend in Switzerland?

Good Heavens,they say he was
forced to resign from the Embassy

But it is true,he was

Yes but they hushed it all up

This is an outrage

He ought to sue them

It's funny you should say that

Max Eastman had a rather amusing idea
out of how to get money out of newspapers

No,what was that?

You know something about be
very funny if he disappeared

under highly suspicious circumstances

and when they said enough
terrible things about him

suddenly reappear with perfectly innocent
explanation and sue them for defamation

That's wonderful,he ought to do it

But you were expecting him?

Yes,we were expecting him

You didn't get any telegram
or message or anything?

No,nothing old boy,not a peep,
never showed up

But you know old Max,wish I could help you

You see that's rather awkward,
he over stayed his leave

Would you get in touch with me

if you hear anything from Commander
Easton,I would be most grateful?

-Yes,certainly I'll do
-Thank you,Sir,Good bye

I take your steam barging because we
want to disturb him over his weekend

He is not at home,Sir.He was due stay with
some friends up North he never showed up

Don't look so worried
about,Bran,hold the forth

Any calls for him put them through
to me,I'll deal with them

Surely he would have sent us a
telegram or something if he was ill

Should we report it?

Start their Lordship
flattering remember that

I'll be looking after his work for
a week,and believe me,Sub

the pair of us went to Paris for a month,
I don't anybody would notice it

Stop worrying and relax

Why was I not told about this before?

You see,Sir

I'm afraid it is my fault

What right did you to interfere?

It didn't seem to me to
be of any importance

He wanted to be seen in list in
case he got into trouble,is that it?

I know Eastman,it didn't
seem very important

Who are you to judge whether
things are important enough

you know perfectly well

what the normal procedure is for
an officer who overstays his leave

Eastman is not in his flat,
his car is not in his garage

and he never reached the people
he was intended to stay with

For all we know the poor chap
may have had an accident

And you think you're doing him a favour

with this childish covering up,
Larkin you ought to know better

Go down to the local police and ask
them what has happened to Eastman

That's all

Don't seem right you coming with a warrant

It is not if has done anything,
you said so yourself

I'll get into trouble,and
you won't care,will you?

Decided to go,you leave me no alternative

When the future brings
us both better things

Where did you find this?

In his desk when we went over his flat

And you think it proves
he's been blackmailed?

No,it doesn't prove it
but it does suggest it

I can think of half a
dozen other explanations

He could be finishing off
an affair with a girl

It is just not the letter on its own

It's the letter taken into
conjunction with other things

What other things?

His bank balance was low

At the end of the month,is not
your bank balance low,mine is

The fact is that he sold his car

Could have bought another one,I don't know

Anyway there is no crime sell a car

How do you explain his behaviour
at the Russian embassy 10 days ago?

Vodka

Why did he fail to turn up in Scotland,
where he was expected on leave?

I don't know,may have changed his mind

Decided to go somewhere else,
perhaps had an accident

Strange it hasn't been reported

You're policemen ,you've
got suspicious mind

It'll take more than this to convince me

All right,Sir,we won't trouble
you any more,for the moment

"Sweden has already placed many large
orders for many kind of consumer goods"

"Cloudy weather with slight rain is
expected in most Eastern districts tomorrow

and in the West it will be
warmer with light gale"

"The time is now nine and
a half minutes past one

that is the end of the news but
here is a police message"

"The police is anxious to trace the
whereabouts of Commander Max Easton RN.

Cmdr Easton will probably
be better remembered

for his wartime exploits as Rammer Easton

Here we go."Will anyone,
who can give information

please communicate with New
Scotland Yard Telephone number..

-Hear,Bert
-I?

Here,look at this

Isn't this the bloke who was in here
the other week? You remember

Asked about the "Karl Marx"

-Look ,who he was,Rammer Easton
-Reported missing

Two rowdy Australians missing..,
he went on the" Karl Marx"

Good grief,Rammer Easton been
seeing boarding a Russian ship

-Rammer Easton? Where?
-Liverpool

Hello,dear,can I get you a sherry?

Yes,please

I wonder if anybody take
these sort of things seriously

The member of a South Grinstead
moved the resolution

to the accompanying chairs
from the back benchers

undoubtedly, reports our
political correspondent

the House was swayed

by Mr Siddons sterling and impassioned
plea" that ass couldn't stir a coffee

He is a cousin of Georgina

failed his entrance exam to Eaton,
now that takes talent

Thank you,darling

I suppose somebody reads this stuff
otherwise they wouldn't bother to write it

You know,I believe these
days people are intelligent

in direct proportion to our
disbelieve in the newspapers

That's suppose that's why my
father helped them around

-Good Heavens
-What is it dear?

Max Easton he's done and done it

Done what,Charles?

Look, exactly what you said

You see?

He's going to let them have their say

and turn up later and sue them for damages

This isn't funny

You laughed in the train

I didn't take it seriously on the train

Something got to be done on this at once

Charles

Realize that the whole
country is being duped?

The entire press is printing
this in good faith

their integrity is at stake

There is sure some explanation

Of course there isn't

We don't know that

Virginia,we cannot be parties to a fraud

Perhaps it isn't a fraud,perhaps
there is some innocent explanation

Perhaps he show up and sue us
instead of the newspapers

Don't be ridiculous

In anyway,if he has done this and
we report him he is in serious trouble

You don't want to put Max
Eastman in jail for five years

Best place for him

I mean fun is fun and all that
but this is going a little too far

Charles,really all we have to go
by is one frivolous conversation

I think we're taking awful lot for granted

There it is

Good Evening my dear

Jewish people put the evening papers
back where they belong on the hall table

You might remove your tadpoles while
you're about it,I almost drunk them

Tadpoles in alcohol? Hmm,possible

Charles don't worry about
this,it will be all right

For Goodness sake,don't mention
a word of this to the old man

We can't keep him from
reading it in the newspapers

He doesn't know that we know Easton

He will,if we tell the police

Blast that man

"Question was asked in the
House of Commons last night

about the missing naval
commander,Max Easton

in a written answer the First Lord said
there had been no confirmed information

about the movement of Cmdr Easton
and he cannot propose

to make any further statement until
enquiries now proceeding were finished

He ended by referring to
Cmdr Easton's war record

as a submarine commander,
Rammer Easton as he became known

was three times decorated

and was responsible for sinking
many tons of enemy shipping

Another opposition speaker
asked whether Cmdr Easton

had ever shown

any indications of unreliability
as regards his political beliefs

The First Lord repeated that he
didn't intend to comment further"

At this stage,The Admiralty are
not prepared to comment

No I cannot see the naval
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph

Ask him to wait

John,see what the fellow wants,will you

No,no,no..That's a silly question

-DSWS for you,Sir
-What?

Evans here,Sir

Don't let any of the press
crawl all over this office

I'm sorry,Sir,it must have been a mistake

Mistake?

We are having all calls put through here
but we can't stalling much longer,Sir

If I'm interrupted again I'll
have your guts for garters

I'm sorry,Sir

Bunch of idiots

Just disconnect the telephone

Don't speak to them at all

That,Sir, would only result in
the publication of wild rumours

What's wrong with "No comments"?

Perfectly reasonable statement

If we refused to comment

they would imply our refusal is
an attempt to cover up something

All right,say something then

If we make some vague statement,Sir

because we don't know all the facts it
will be exaggerated beyond all recognition

The press and the public have
a genius for twisting things

You might have seen to have
granted, before Easton made a buck

he was transferred to the RAF,
give them a headache for a change

We still have no definite proof,Sir

The question in the House
is definite enough

Apart from a possible
predilection for Kerry isles

can somebody please explain to me
why Eastman should disappear?

I take it like all other
operational officers

his knowledge of scientific matters is
as a profound as of my maiden aunt

he is as much use to a potential
enemy as she would be

Who are you?

Well,Brown,what is it?

I thought you ought to be
informed right away,Sir

I've been checking Cmdr
Easton's personal filing cabinet

There is a file missing,Sir

-It's a.
-Go on,man

It's a file on Starfish1

Help,help,help

All right,I tried

Commander Easton

Did you manage to salvage any
food before "Sheldagh" found on the rocks?

No

So what did you live on?

Shellfish mostly and limpets
and things like that

Occasional gull's egg,raw

What about water?

There were rain puddles in the rocks,
little stale but one gets used to it

Why didn't I light a bonfire before?

Have you ever tried to light damp
see weeded bogs with soggy matches?

That's all I had

Why was I asking the cop about Karl Marx?

I was told there was a ship chandler's just
opposite and I needed a tin of colour

Why didn't I try swimming?

I am unable to swim then

Come on,say something awful about me

Call me a traitor

So I can start packing up

"by officers having access
to secret information

finally there is an unconfirmed report that
Commander Easton has been seen in Warsaw"

Obviously high time I was
turned to civilisation

I'll buy you a new one

Time a lit the bonfire

Was he really a friend of yours,Charles?

Good heavens no,just a chance acquaintance

But you knew him,you
knew him too,Virginia

In a casual sort of way

What did he look like?
Did he look like a spy?

Did he have tight fisted
lips with grey steely eyes?

Not that I remember,and anyway
we don't know that he is a traitor

Ex submariner flees with file,it is
obviously he sold atomic secrets to Russia

What is that submariner?

Someone who goes in a submarine,silly

It doesn't say he went by submarine

It doesn't even say that he has done it

It does in my paper,uncle Charles

That's quite enough,finish your breakfast

You really are a child,Charles,
of course he did it

I happen to know..

Well,he is very unlikely to have done it

Of course,he is unlikely
to have done it,darling

that's why the Admiralty employed him

Finish Charles?

I'm not hungry

Virginia,I'd like to have a word with
you when you finish your breakfast

I'm not very hungry either

Excuse me

Virginia,this has got to stop

I don't know what we can do

It maybe be unpleasant but we
have to do it,we have to report him

Charles,couldn't we just pretend like we
knew nothing about it for a while longer

It is essential they ask you why
you haven't come forward sooner

I could just say I wasn't sure

I wish to never sat eyes on the man

I hope he is gone for good

Is there anyone reading the
newspaper without Eastman's name in it?

You can flog a dead horse for so long

I think if I ever hear that
blasted man's name again,I'll scream

Help,help

Here I am

There he is

We'll be right with you,Commander Easton

You're feeling better

You led us a merry dance,
right up and down the country

You had me fooled all along

I wasn't the only one,mind you

More tea? Come in a flask

Still we came just as soon
as we got your message

Look,there he is

It's amazing,there is not
the slightest sign of exposure

None?

No, absolutely none.
You must be a very fit man

You'd think he had 10 days holiday

You needn�t worry,he can travel
with you if you want

I'll be on my way,it's nice to have
met the notorious Commander Easton

Righteo

Would you leave us alone,Mr Gregson

We'll be downstairs if you want us,Sir

Easton

My dear Easton I'm so glad
that you are all right

That's good of you to come up,Sir

My dear fellow as soon as I heard
about the message I got on a plane

You know you were damned
lucky that bottle was picked up

could have been smashed
on the rocks, anything

Sort of a thing you read
in children's books

Quite amazing

Yes,amazing

The main thing is,the bottle with
your message was found

you're safe and I can't tell you
how good it is to have you back

It's good to be back, Sir

Very good

Easton,whilst you've been away
from,how shall I put it,civilisation

One or two unfortunate things have happened

Naturally,during your absence ,
you've been out of the touch with news

I didn't have the newspapers
delivered to my door step

if that what is you mean,Sir

Joking apart,it must have
been a bit of an ordeal

I don't know,Sir

Not knowing when you'll be rescued,
wondering what people would be thinking

I don't have any very close relatives..

No,I don't mean thinking you may be
drowned,I mean thinking you might have

You know

Sort of..

Thinking I might have what,Sir?

You know

Behave badly,I mean you
know what people are

You mean people might have thought

that I had done something
dishonourable and then

Cleared out?

No,not exactly

They tend to think that you'd

Gone over to the other side

The other side? The other side of what,Sir?

You know,I mean

Politically

No

Yes they did

But who was it who thought this?

More than one person,all of them really

All of them?

But not the Admiralty,Sir?

We fought against it,of course
but eventually,the evidence

Evidence.What evidence?

It seems trivial now

but at the time it was hard to go
against the tide of popular opinion

But haven't you any faith?

Faith,yes.But I'm afraid our
faith was not strong enough

You must have known that I
wouldn't do a thing like that?

I did know,at least I should have known

But you see there was a file missing,and
the you behaved so strangely at the embassy

And then you'll be seen in Liverpool

I just popped ashore and
send you a picture postcard

Yes,I know

But you see there was also this business

about a file of yours,one
of your files was missing

One of my files?

It dropped down behind a back
of the cabinet,not even yours

Of course there is a perfectly
logical explanation to everything

but at the time it all seemed
to point to you

Yes,yes

I see that

And now I suppose you want my resignation

You resignation? Whatever for?

I have been rather
heavily tarred,haven't I?

You've been completely vindicated

But some of the mud the papers
flourished should stick

They live their world,
they have to eat their words

No,be realistic,Sir,my usefulness
to the Admiralty is finished

They've no right to cast against
a perfectly innocent officer

no right at all,they wry at you,they should
be sued for defamation of character

I couldn't do that,Sir

Why not?

You should have read some of those who
said about you,makes your blood boil

Really

Absolutely,outrageous

Surely the whole thing is best forgotten

I don't agree at all

You should make them suffer

The only way to make the papers suffer

is to make them pay,make
them pay handsomely

You really think I should do that?

Definitely.Let them know

They can't play fast and loose
with an officer in the Royal Navy

-Everything is ready,Sir
-Oh,yes.Thank you,Jones

Do you feel up to it now?

Up to it?

The press

You mean I have to see them?

Would be better,straight a word or two

I don't think I could be polite to them

I know how you must feel but remember
these aren't the same fellows

-If you think I ought to
-Stout fellow

What shall I tell them?

Just tell them the truth

Hello,darling,can I fix you a drink?

Yes,please

Looking for something?

I was wondering if the evening
newspapers was anywhere here

Haven't you seen it?

Not really important

What sort of bottle?

That's gin isn't it?

No,I mean what sort of bottle
did you put the SOS message in?

SOS message?

The one that rescued
Easton from the Skerries

It spread tonight on every
front page in the country

Virginia,this has gone too far

You knew a long way
where he was,didn't you?

I didn't know,sort of had a hunch

Because he sort of mentioned it

In a way

According to one report the
bottle was found by a small boy

So when you've taken the car out

and you've supposed
be having your hair done

you were actually

turning some innocent little schoolboy
into a juvenile delinquent

No,Charles I saw this
little boy on the beach

and I told him that I thought
the bottle was a crab

and by the time he found the
crab was a bottle I wasn't there

Just answer me one
question,that's all I ask

Why in heavens name did you do it?

Somebody had to bring him
back,you said so yourself

Yes,but do you realize what you have done?

You've become an accessory to what
obviously is going to be a gigantic fraud

But I can only say

it is going to take all of my influence
to keep your name out of it

Fortunately I think I can do this if I
catch the train to London tonight

Of course the whole thing is criminal

that why we felt it had to
be brought to your notice

He mustn't be allowed to get away with it

How can you be certain of this,
if I may ask,Sir Charles

We have our sources
of information as you do

Which you rather not disclose?
I understand,Sir

One small point

I would appreciate if my name was kept
out of this rather unfortunate business

-I think that can be arranged,Sir Charles
-Thank you

You put a fine show,Easton

shouldn't be at all surprised

if thanks to you, our recruiting
figures are up this month

It was little else I could do,Sir

Fine effort.You are going to
be a rich man by the look of it

They haven't a leg to stand on,
it's an open and shut case

You mark my word I would only be too pleased

to settle out of court

And that in spite of leave wouldn't coming here ,
Sir,we'll have to see what we can do

-Thank you,Sir
-Jolly good

See you out,will you Bates

Yes,Sir

Lucky fellow this time

Only three weeks

Only three weeks

for three weeks to be able to be away
from this place,I go to the North Pole

I'm sorry about the fishing line,John

I'll buy you another

That's what I am afraid of

You can choose yourself

Can I?

It's the least I can do for you

Have you any idea what
a rod can set you back?

Come in

You choose I pay

Captain Graham would like
to see you before you go

Thank you

Good I forgot you are in the money now too

He probably wants you to
guarantee his bank account

You know you couldn't have it
better if you planned it yourself

See you characters in three weeks

-Good Bye,Sir
-Bye.So long Max

I wonder if they do gold
mounted fishing rods

You wanted to see me,Sir?

Yes,come in,Easton,you remember,Gregson?

Yes,of course I caused you a lot
of unnecessary inconvenience,I'm afraid

Easton,Gregson here made a
very disquieting accusation

Really,Sir?

Yes,he says he has reasons to believe
that you planned the whole thing

What whole thing,Sir?

He says you planned to disappear
so you could sue the newspapers

Sue the newspapers?

But with respect,Sir,you remember,
that was your idea

That's true

It was.Easton was dead against it

There we are,straight forward enough

Well,Commander,what do you say?

I could only say that this accusation
takes me by completely by surprise

I can quite believe that

You see,Sir,I think that the bottle

which enabled us to rescue you,
was planted by an accomplice on land

What on earth are you talking about

Do you still maintain,Commander,
that you threw the bottle into the sea?

Certainly

Then of course you know
what kind of a bottle it was

And you will be sure to remember the
contents of the message,the actual wording

What sort of a bottle was it,Commander?

Tell him,Easton

Then we can settle this ridiculous
matter once and for all

Excuse me

Well,Commander

I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea

I thought not,Sir

You see,I am afraid I don't
know which bottle was picked up

I must have thrown in at least half a dozen

At various times

Different messages of course

I was in a pretty desperate situation

I can imagine that

You had several bottles available?

Bottles are typical on the sorts of islets

you find on the West Coast of Scotland

Surely you don't think he put in one bottle

and rely on that one being picked up?

Be too much of a coincidence

Hello

-Graham?
-Yes

-We made up the statement
-Good

-You like to see it?
-Fine.I'll come up right away

Foreign relations is putting out a
final statement about you,Eastman

That should put an end to all this nonsense

Your informant must be someone
with a very peculiar sense of humour

or someone with a grudge
against him,excuse me

You know I really did think to start
with that you had gone to Russia

I'd staked everything I had on it

Really?

Strange everything you
did seemed to point to all this

-The long arm of..
-Coincidence

Coincidence

Then I changed my mind

Probably just another case
of fraud,an unusual one, mind

Usually it someone trying to
swindle an insurance company

You thought I was try to swindle the press?

How could anyone with
integrity do anything like that?

I mean that would be dishonest

-Wouldn't it?
-Exactly,Commander

So you see what silly ideas,
you can get sometimes

You are back among us now and no
one is worse off that's the main thing

-Good Bye,Commander
-Good Bye,Sir

Good Bye

Hello,Virginia

I suppose you expect me
to fall into your arms

I wouldn't rather worry

Knowing you I am sure you wouldn't

All right,I want it

Going away?

Yes,as a matter of fact I'm
going back to the States

there is nothing more to keep me in London

I see

What do you want,Max?

I want to thank you among other things

You may not know it but you saved my life

Obviously that was a mistake

You can't have felt that way when
you put the message in the bottle

That was a mistake too

Virginia,why did you have me rescued?

I don't know

I wish I hadn't,I wish I
never sat eyes on you

you are like a dangerous drug,
if one isn't careful

one can become an addict and I don't want
to be an addict,so I wish you go,Max

Good Bye

Hello,darling,Clare told me you caught
the morning train,had a good trip?

I think you'll find that my trip was
thoroughly worthwhile making

I handled the situation rather well
I think,you see they'll keep us out of it

Good Evening,Charles

Good Evening

I'd appreciate,Eastman,
if you left this house at once

I don't want any unpleasantness here

I suggest you go and get yourself
your arrested somewhere else

So that's how you handle the
situation,Charles,that's despicable

You are a stool pigeon,
even crooks don't do that

I don't propose to discuss with you

the rather curious ethics
of American gangster doom

And as for you,Eastman,I think you'll
be lucky if you get away with 5 years

For what?

For fraud.For attempting to hoax the
public and try to swindle the news papers

You are going to get
everything you deserve

You get publicity,all right, but it
won't be the sort you're expecting

Some of the less reputable news papers will

no doubt,print the story
of your life in prison

"How I learnt to sew mailbags"

Fascinating reading,they
won't pay very much,of course

by the time you come out you'll
need every penny you lay hands on

What a wonderful vivid
imagination you got,Charles

It was no figment of the
imagination that has an accomplice

who should be named as,for obvious reasons,
planted the bottle that exposed you

They always say that crooks
slip up on some minor detail

and I am glad to see that you
are not exception to the rules

and in your case was the bottle

Which bottle?

You may well ask,you never saw it

Yes,but which one? There
are lots of bottles now

Funny enough half a dozen
turned up on this afternoon

I shouldn�t be surprised if they start
popping up all over the place from now on

This is true?

Virginia? Is this true?

Virginia,did you plant
more than one bottle?

You do have silly questions,
Charles,of course I did

Do you realize what that means?

Yes,I do,Charles,I'm terribly sorry

that's why I thought it might be
better if I went home for a while

I know you'd never understand
why I did it,and I really can't explain

Don't you see this man is a thief

He means to sue the newspapers

What on earth gave you that idea?

They acted in good faith,I couldn't
possibly do a thing like that

At least I could,I am too
honest that's my trouble

The trouble with you,Eastman,
you have no principles

A quality I find singularly unattractive

I emphasize the singular because
I seem to be alone in this view

Charles

One of the hardest lessons in life is
to learn to accept defeat gracefully

Charles,I'm sorry

I haven't learnt it yet

I thought you handled that very well

Good Bye,Max

I don't feel saying Good Bye

Good Bye,Max

You're always saying,Good Bye Max

Seemed inappropriate last time and
seems even more inappropriate now

Nothing has changed

you have been to all these lengths
with all these troubles for nothing

Not nothing for you

Nothing has changed,Max

Yes it has,I'm famous ,I'm going to be rich

So you are going to sue them,I thought
for once you were telling the truth

Was.Of course I'm not going suing

But you say you are going to be rich?

We,darling,Charles has
giving us a wedding present

wonderful idea,the more I think
about it the better it seems

I am going to sell my story,the
true story,to the highest bidder

The true story?

How you planned it all?

And laid all those red herrings?
And pretended to be a..

No,don't be silly,darling,the true story

how I miraculously survived

without food or water after
that terrible shipwreck

The true story

I'll probably get even
more than if I sued them

Now nobody could called
that dishonest,could they?

You are the most outrageous person

The best people always are

You are dishonest,deceitful,
untrustworthy,unscrupulous

Yes,dear

Unprincipled,rascal,rogue,rake

-Scoundrel?
-A scoundrel

A snake

dishonest

We had that one,dear

Unreliable,untrustworthy but I love you
