Mortimer Brewster:
Look, Aunt Martha, men don't just get into window seats and die! Abby Brewster:
We know, dear. He died first. Mortimer Brewster:
Wait a minute! Stop all this. Now, look, darling, how did he die? Abby Brewster:
Oh, Mortimer, don't be so inquisitive. The gentleman died because he drank some wine with poison in it. Mortimer Brewster:
How did the poison get in the wine? Martha Brewster:
Well, we put it in wine, because it's less noticeable. When it's in tea, it has a distinct odor. Mortimer Brewster:
You mean, you... You put it in the wine! Abby Brewster:
Yes. And I put Mr. Hoskins in the window seat, because Reverend Harper was coming. Mortimer Brewster:
Now, look at me, darling. You mean, you mean you knew what you'd done and you didn't want the Reverend Harper to see the body? Abby Brewster:
Well, not at tea. That wouldn't have been very nice. Mortimer Brewster:
Oh, it's first-degree. Abby Brewster:
Now, Mortimer, you know all about it and just forget about it. I do think that Aunt Martha and I have the right to our own little secrets

-What happened to him?
-He died.
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.117
Aunt Martha, men just don't get
into windowseats and die.
00:00:06.032 --> 00:00:08.993
No, dear. He died first.
00:00:09.036 --> 00:00:10.918
Wait! Stop all this.
00:00:12.024 --> 00:00:13.958
Now look, how did he die?
00:00:14.008 --> 00:00:16.064
Mortimer, don't be so inquisitive.
00:00:17.002 --> 00:00:21.083
The gentleman died because he drank
some wine with poison in it.
00:00:23.088 --> 00:00:25.996
How did the poison get in the wine?
00:00:26.998 --> 00:00:28.514
We put it in wine
because it's less noticeable.
00:00:28.006 --> 00:00:31.999
When it's in tea, it has a distinct odor.
00:00:32.002 --> 00:00:33.394
You mean you....
00:00:34.044 --> 00:00:35.839
You put it in the wine?
00:00:35.092 --> 00:00:39.276
Yes. And I put Mr. Hoskins
in the windowseat...
00:00:39.036 --> 00:00:41.635
...because Reverend Harper was coming.
00:00:44.006 --> 00:00:46.158
Look at me, darling.
00:00:48.998 --> 00:00:51.675
You knew what you'd done and didn't want
Reverend Harper to see the body?
00:00:51.076 --> 00:00:54.832
Well, not at tea.
That wouldn't have been very nice.
00:00:57.052 --> 00:00:58.919
It's first-degree.
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.549
Now, Mortimer, you know all about it
and just forget about it.
00:01:02.092 --> 00:01:06.001
I do think that Martha and I have the right
to our own little secrets.
00:01:10.036 --> 00:01:13.875
Abby, while I was out I dropped in
on Mrs. Schultz. She's much better.
00:01:13.999 --> 00:01:16.315
But she wants us to take Junior
to the movies again.
00:01:16.001 --> 00:01:18.001
We must do that, tomorrow or next day.
00:01:18.999 --> 00:01:21.001
Yes, but this time we'll go
where we want to go.
00:01:21.008 --> 00:01:25.839
Junior's not going to drag me
into another one of those scary pictures.
00:01:26.001 --> 00:01:30.999
They ought not to be allowed
to make pictures just to frighten people.
00:01:49.052 --> 00:01:50.001
Operator?
00:01:51.006 --> 00:01:52.871
Can you hear my voice?
00:01:53.001 --> 00:01:54.999
You can?
00:01:55.028 --> 00:01:56.474
Are you sure?
00:01:57.999 --> 00:01:58.874
Then I must be here.
