All language subtitles for Alfred Hitchcock s04e06 Design For Love

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

A simple incident can change one's life
with dazzling swiftness.

In a single day, my pet caught a glimpse
of his pedigree and my family tree.

Now he won't sleep anywhere but in the
house.

He's rather large, as you can see.

I shudder to think what he'll be like
when he grows up.

Tonight's narrative is called Design for
Loving.

And as the title suggests, it concerns
marriage and its problems.

But before our play, here is a message
from a gentleman who has designs on your

purse.

May I speak to Tom, please?

No, Polly, you absolutely cannot.

This is my sweet, darling, lovely Tom's
night to stay home and be spoiled by

me. And if he went out with you, he
wouldn't get home until after midnight.

All right, Anne, all right.

Lydia, what are we talking?

What about?

Oh, politics, maybe.

The world.

Us, you and me.

There is a subject.

Lydia, why don't we travel?

There's nothing keeping us here.

No children to hold us down.

That's right, Charles. There's no
children.

You could see London, Paris.

Rio.

And what will we do in Paris, Charles?

Lydia, let's make a clean break.

Start over.

Have fun.

Charlie.

You held my hand.

You haven't done that in years.

I remember once you kissed my hand.

That was silly, but it was so nice.

Kiss my hand, Charlie, and I'll go to
Paris with you, London with you, Rio

you.

Kiss my hand.

Really? I'm not joking.

It's the last chance for Rio.

It's the last chance for Paris.

Why does everything always have to be so
difficult? You make it difficult.

Hello. Hello, Tom.

Thank goodness it's you this time.

Oh, uh, hello, yes.

Tom, this is Charlie.

Oh, uh, Fred, how are you?

Tom, I've got to see you.

Well, you sound as though it's a matter
of life and death.

It is.

I'll be by to pick you up.

Once around the block.

Be back in ten minutes, please. Ten
minutes. No, sooner.

I gave her a chance.

I gave her a chance.

I don't want to do this to you, Lydia.

I don't.

Charlie, we drank too much.

It's ten o 'clock.

We've been out two hours longer than we
planned.

Two whole hours.

Ah, sorry.

Your wife doesn't want you to go out
because she loves you. Mine because she

hates me. Funny, isn't it?

Hey, Tom.

Tom,

I want to show you something.

Look.

A ticket for Rio de Janeiro on a
Saturday plane.

Ticket?

One ticket?

For myself alone.

And leave Lydia here?

How? How indeed.

I'm smart.

You're drunk.

Come on, Charlie. Let's go home.

Let's go home. I am home. That's part of
my plan.

What?

I'm sitting in my house right now.

Charlie, you are standing on the street
talking with old Tom Smith.

Fifty bucks says I'm sitting with Lydia
right now.

Charlie, you dead? Is that it? This your
ghost talking with me?

Fifty bucks.

Fifty bucks?

All right.

Fifty bucks.

Easiest fifty bucks I ever made.

Wait a minute, Charlie.

Who's going to hold the money?

He will.

Don't go away now.

Let me get this straight, Charlie.

Fifty dollars says that you are in there
right now with your wife.

Right? Right.

Okay. Here goes.

Don't move now.

Promise? Won't budge an inch?

Not a hair.

I got my eye on you, Charlie.

It's you.

You're a twin.

That's it. You're a twin.

No, Dom.

Then who... What?

What is more correct?

I'm drunk.

Not that drunk, Dom.

What's that? A whistle.

What's it for?

Watch the front door.

Hello, Mr. Brehling.

Hello, Brehling.

This is insane.

He's not your brother?

Not my brother.

I haven't drunk too much?

You haven't.

Then what?

Tom, you're looking at my passport to
freedom.

My release.

My escape.

Now I can do what I want, when I want,
where I want.

Stay out as long as I like. Come home
when I'm good and ready.

I've solved everything, as I've told
you.

You've told me nothing.

Put your head close to him.

Closer.

To his chest, his chest.

What do you hear?

It's a robot.

Marionette, if you please.

Marionette?

Marionettes Incorporated.

We duplicate yourself or your friends.

New humanoid plastic flesh.

1965 models, guaranteed against all
weather, priced from $5

,000 to our $15 ,000.

Deluxe model.

No. Yes, I tell you.

How long has this been going on?

Marionette's ink has been in existence
three years.

I've had him for about a month now.

I keep him in a toolbox in the cellar.

My wife never goes down there, and I've
got the only key to the box.

This is the first night I've given him a
real testing.

Other nights I just let him sit with my
wife for a few moments at a time.

But tonight, a three -hour test.

You're doing splendidly, Brehling.

Thank you, Mr. Brehling.

Your wife is rather nice.

It's not hard work.

Amazing. I can't tell you apart.

Nor can I.

Nor can my wife.

Do you see what a delicious thing
that...

Or am I being unethical?

Well, after all, Tom, what is it my wife
wants?

Me.

Me to keep home, pen up, frustrate.

All right, I'll give her me.

I'll stay home every night for the next
20 years. Only it won't be me, it'll be

him. I'll be off to Rio.

May I suggest, Mr.

Brearling, that I go back inside now?

Your wife may come out.

Oh, yes.

You go on in and I'll call you when I
want you.

Very well, sir.

Good night, Charlie.

I mean... Good night, Charlie.

Well, I better get home.

You know Anne.

I know Anne. Oh, she means well.

She loves me. She loves you. But,
Charlie, after ten years of marriage,

not expect your wife to sit on your lap
for two hours every evening or to call

you up at work ten times a day or to
talk baby talk when you come home.

I'm smothered, Charlie.

Smothered. I need a rest.

Marionettes are made to eat, sleep,
walk, run.

Everything natural as natural can be.

Marionettes, Inc.

33 Elm Terrace.

Oh, Charlie, you are a friend.

I'll be there at 8 o 'clock tomorrow
morning.

Good night.

They don't open till 9.

I should tear up that card right now.

Wake her up.

Beg her forgiveness.

Take her in my arms.

Now, it's the savings account.

Last month, the balance was $9 ,000.

Now, if I was to borrow $5 ,000, $5
,000?

Yeah, but how do I explain the missing
money to Ann?

I'll think of that later.

The important thing now is to buy a
marionette tomorrow.

Ah, let's see.

Deposit. Deposit. 1 ,000 May

1st. 2 ,000 deposited July 15th. Making
a total

of...

That's $5 ,000 missing.

$5 ,000 withdrawn August 10th.

That's last week.

Ann. Ann, wake up.

Ann. Do you hear me? Ann, wake up.

Our money.

$5 ,000.

Checkmate.

You win. Brilliant.

Am I?

That's the first time I've won a game in
years.

How about another drink?

Oh, well, I shouldn't. Just one to wash
out the eyes.

All right.

Charlie. Yes.

Tonight, I... I do explain, but... I
don't know you and me.

We're, well... You're...

Excuse me a moment.

Yes, of course, dear.

Well done, Brayling.

Did you think so?

Perhaps a little too well done. Too
nice, too kind. She might notice the

I'll watch it.

I tend to forget myself.

I'm rather fond of her.

Good. Good.

I want a happy employee. I want you to
enjoy your work.

I wouldn't call it work.

Yeah, well.

Well... I'll watch you for the next few
nights. Make sure you play the part

perfectly.

Then I'll leave for Rio on Saturday and
you take over for a month.

Now, back in the toolbox with you.

Now, in with you.

There's something I'd like to discuss
with you. What?

I don't like it.

You don't like it?

It's too damp in there.

Cramped. Oh.

Well, I'll... I'll look for something
more comfortable.

A closet? I don't like closets.

Say, what's going on here?

They didn't tell me at Marionette's Inc.
that I was getting such a difficult

specimen.

There's a lot they don't know about us
yet.

We Marionettes are far more sensitive
than you think.

I have a good mind to send you back to
the factory for readjustment.

Do you?

Do you?

I do.

Now get back in the box.

Now lie down and behave.

I've been thinking. You can't think.

All right.

Processing data, then.

Rio de Janeiro is a better climate than
this, isn't it?

I mean, much less rain and cold.

It's fine. And you're going there.

I am if you ever shut up.

I'll never get to Rio. Do you know that?

That's really too bad.

Now get in.

And your wife, as I was saying, she's
nice.

I'll give you till I count five.

I like her very much. She's a fine
woman. Fine. And Rio.

Rio's fine.

Fine. Excuse me, will you?

I'm... Use the phone. What?

Call Marionette's Inc.

No, no, no.

No, nothing like that.

Iris, you're breaking it. Let go.

Rio, better weather.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to buy another ticket for Rio
and take your wife.

My wife put you up to this. No.

He knows about you, doesn't he?

He's charming.

He planned it. He did. He did.

You'll never know, will you? Goodbye.

What do you mean, goodbye?

You're here.

I'm here, Tom.

My wife.

She's gone.

She left a marionette in her place.

I thought she'd run away with you,
but... You're here, Charlie.

You are here, aren't you?

I'm here, Tom.

The nan is somewhere out in the city
tonight with someone else.

I don't understand.

She said she loved me.

Tom, these are strange times in which
strange machines

with even stranger functions are moving
into our lives and taking over.

But I must go now. My wife is waiting.

You kissed my hand.

To us, Lydia.

To us.

That story is a somewhat disturbing one,
but only to people.

Our next story is also disturbing, and
that is why I think I shall take this

opportunity to walk my dog. I shall be
back.

I hope.

Fortunately for me, he slipped his
collar and disappeared in a herd of

percheron. This concludes our show.

Next week we should be back with
another.

But before I go, there's something I
would like you to consider.

You keep me in this box all week and
then allow me to peer out for only half

hour before closing me up again.

I don't like it. You see, I keep
running.

There's no way to shut me off.

After all, I have feelings too.

Think it over.

Good night.
