Tony Wendice:
By the way does Mrs. Van Dorn know about "Mr. Adams" or "Mr. Wilson" and Miss Wallace? You were planning to marry Mrs. Van Dorn, weren't you?
C.A. Swan:
Smart, aren't you?
Tony Wendice:
No, not really. I've just had time to think things out. Put myself in your position. That's why I know you're going to agree.
C.A. Swan:
What makes you think I'll agree?
Tony Wendice:
For the same reason that a donkey with a stick behind him and a carrot in front always goes forwards and not backwards.
C.A. Swan:
Tell me about the carrot.

Yes, it was a bit crummy, wasn't it?
00:00:03.372 --> 00:00:05.832
Hardly the place to take Mrs. Van Dorn.
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.711
By the way, does Mrs. Van Dorn
know about Mr. Adams and Mr. Wilson...
00:00:09.878 --> 00:00:11.421
...and Miss Wallace?
00:00:11.588 --> 00:00:14.215
You were planning to marry Mrs. Van Dorn,
weren't you?
00:00:14.383 --> 00:00:16.342
- Smart, aren't you?
- No, not really.
00:00:16.051 --> 00:00:20.305
I've just had time to think things out,
put myself in your position.
00:00:20.472 --> 00:00:22.974
That's why I know you're going to agree.
00:00:23.809 --> 00:00:25.351
What makes you think I'll agree?
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.073
For the same reason that a donkey with
a stick behind him and a carrot in front...
00:00:28.897 --> 00:00:31.733
...always goes forwards
and not backwards.
00:00:32.234 --> 00:00:36.529
- Tell me about the carrot.
- One thousand pounds in cash.
00:00:36.989 --> 00:00:38.114
For a murder?
00:00:38.282 --> 00:00:41.993
For a few minutes' work, that's all it is.
And no risk, I guarantee.
00:00:42.161 --> 00:00:46.122
That ought to appeal to you.
You've been skating on pretty thin ice.
00:00:46.029 --> 00:00:50.585
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- You ought to know. It was in all the papers.
00:00:50.753 --> 00:00:53.796
Middle-aged woman found dead
due to an overdose of something.
00:00:53.964 --> 00:00:56.132
She had been taking the stuff
for quite some time...
00:00:56.003 --> 00:00:57.759
...and nobody knows where she got it.
00:00:58.469 --> 00:01:00.345
But we know, don't we?
00:01:01.263 --> 00:01:03.306
Poor Miss Wallace.
00:01:06.001 --> 00:01:09.562
This £1000. Where is it?
00:01:11.998 --> 00:01:13.733
It's in a small attaché case
in a checkroom.
00:01:13.901 --> 00:01:15.998
SWANN:
Where?
00:01:15.235 --> 00:01:16.736
Somewhere in London.
00:01:17.321 --> 00:01:18.738
Of course we don't meet again.
00:01:19.999 --> 00:01:21.999
As soon as you've delivered the goods...
00:01:21.408 --> 00:01:24.994
...I shall mail you the checkroom ticket
and the key to the case.
