All language subtitles for Alfred Hitchcock s03e35 Dip In The Pool.eng

Oh, good evening.

I'm on vacation from the rigors of
television and coming to you by remote

pickup. Our cameras are quite ordinary,
but they are fastened to the longest

extension cords in history.

However, I find this vacation quite
exhausting.

Shuffle boards simply cannot be played
from the prone position.

Incidentally, the captain informs me
that changing channels is not only

foolhardy but also extremely dangerous,
so I don't believe you ought to try it.

I understand that in my absence you are
to see a play based on the story, Dip in

the Pool.

Having said that, I now return you to
our studios.

It has been said that the galleries of
Florence House have the great paintings

of the world.

Just off the magnificent square known as
the Piazza della Signoria is the

Uffizi, where one can see the
masterpieces of Botticelli, Raphael, and

Vinci. Adjoining the square is the
Medici's Palazzo Vecchio.

What?

The Palazzo Vecchio, the city hall,
which has been termed the most handsome

public building in the world.

But that took a lot of graft.

William, it's all very well for you to
act like a peasant in front of me, but

please make an effort to hide... And for
those culture vultures, don't worry,

don't worry.

I'll just stay away from them. I can
amuse myself in Europe.

No doubt.

And the Follies Berger, the Casino in
Cairn.

And all of the bistros in between.

Yes, I do like to have a little fun.

I know exactly what would happen.

You'd gamble away all of the money in a
week, and I wouldn't see anything but a

hotel room. No, thank you. Aunt Jessie
left that money to me, and I'm going to

do exactly what I've always wanted.

You're going to soak up $4 ,000 worth of
culture, and it's never going to show.

I could have gotten myself a
convertible. You know, that's the whole

with you, William.

If you can't drink it, wear it or ride
in it, you think it has no value.

Very amusing.

Oh, that's the steward I sent for a
drink. Come in.

I hear you are, sir. I think you'll find
these effective.

Oh, yes. Are you sure this is very, very
dry?

Yes, sir. Very dry indeed.

Oh, fine.

Have one on me.

Thank you, sir.

How much did you get him?

A dollar.

A dollar?

That's too much. You won't impress
anybody by over -tipping.

The proper thing is to do it at the end
of the voyage.

You don't understand, dear. These boys
expect those extra tips.

Oh, William, stop throwing off. You know
we have barely $1 ,500 left to spend in

Europe. If we're not more careful, we'll
have to forget about Azizi.

It would be just dandy if we could
forget about Azizi.

Florence and Rome.

And you can drop in Pisa, too.

All right.

You don't have to enjoy it, but don't
spoil it for me.

Why don't you send it back?

Maybe you'll get a refund.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I lost my balance.

Well, it's one of the fascinations of
traveling by ship.

There's adventure in every way.

Emily? Oh, I'm so sorry. I was talking
to the nicest man.

What man? Where?

Oh, he's gone now.

Come along. We'd better get dressed for
dinner.

Hello there, Mr. Renshaw.

Oh, hello, Bonneville. Nice to see you
again. Sit down.

My wife's still dressing.

So's mine.

Well, that gives us time for a drink,
doesn't it?

Martini? Sounds good.

But this time it's on me. I am fit.

Steward, two martinis, please.

Very, very dry.

Well, have you decided on your itinerary
yet?

No, I think we'll just knock around a
bit.

Try to avoid the usual vacation spots.

They can be a little desperate, you
know.

How well I know.

All those tourists soaking up all that
culture.

Well, this isn't your first trip abroad,
then?

No, first by ship.

The plane is much faster, but of course
it's not as pleasant.

How much is it? Oh, no.

Here you are.

Keep the change.

Well, here's... Oh, I'm so sorry.

Stuart, we've had a little accident
here.

Well, well, well.

Looks as if it's going to blow up into a
very dirty night.

Hope you've got your sea legs, Bottle.
What never bothers me, sir, we do a lot

more rolling than this on Long Island
Sound.

I didn't know you were a yachtsman.

Well, I've told him I have time to be
more than a weekend sailor, I'm afraid.

Would you have another drink? No,
thanks.

I limit myself to one before dinner.

But I would consider a brandy
afterwards.

Tell you what we'll do.

Why don't you meet me later for the
pool, and we'll have one then.

The pool at night?

Oh, no, no, no. The ship's pool.

The auction.

You thought I'm... Of course, it's your
first trip by boat.

No, it works this way.

Each day, the captain makes an estimate
of the day's run.

The distance we'll travel in the next 24
hours.

And chances are auctioned off to the
passengers.

And the winning number walks up with the
proceeds.

Minus 10 % for Siemens Charities.

Sounds interesting.

How many chances are there? 20.

10 each way from the estimate.

And, of course, there's the high field
and the low field.

And how does that work?

Well, the low field covers all the
numbers below the smallest number in the

range. And the high field works the same
way at the other end.

You thinking of taking a flyer?

I might.

How much do the chances sell for?

Oh, it depends on how stiff the bidding
goes.

I've known numbers to go for as low as
100 pounds.

British ship, of course.

Well, that's almost $300.

Almost, but the chance of winning 6 ,000
or 7 ,000 attracts an awful lot of

people.

7 ,000.

Well, have you pictured a number yet?

No. No, I'm not much of a gambler, I'm
afraid.

What do you call playing the stock
market?

That's an entirely different
proposition, my boy.

That's an investment based on the
knowledge of the market, the soundness

stocks. We have detailed reports and a
complete history of the company to guide

you.

Inside information, eh? You could call
it that if you like.

By the ship's pool, that's a guessing
game.

Ah, there you are.

You know Baudible?

Yes, of course, Mr. Baudible. How are
you? How do you do, Mrs. Renshaw? May I

say that you look extremely beautiful
tonight.

Thank you.

Shall we go into dinner now?

Of course.

Later, Baudible? Later.

See you, Mrs. Renshaw.

What on earth do you see in that awful
man?

Oh, Bottom's not a bad chap. He tries.

Much too hard, if you ask me.

He's a bit of a break -up, I suppose,
but he's not too hard to take in small

doses. I feel sorry for his wife.

She seems like a nice little woman.

But I do wish she'd ask him not to wear
that black dinner jacket.

He looks like a third -class master of
ceremonies.

Given half a chance, I think that's just
what he'd be. He'd be quite a funny

one, too.

I suggested we have a brandy later at
the ship's pool, and he said, the pool?

Tonight?

He thought I meant a dunk in the pool.

Don't worry.

Rents are paid for the drinks.

William, never mind. Let's go in to
dinner.

and we're in for a bit of weather.

But it won't amount to very much, and it
sort of livens things up, don't you

think?

Anyway, we're all good sailors at this
table.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, purser.

Yes, Mr. Bartle, what's the trouble?

Oh, there isn't any trouble. I just
wondered if the captain had made his

estimate yet of the day's run.

I imagine so, yes.

About how long ago would that be?

Sometime this afternoon.

Would you say that that was before it
started to get rough?

Yes, I suppose so. He usually does it
about four o 'clock.

Oh, I was saying it was six when we
started to roll, wasn't it?

About then.

I said, one other thing.

Do you think the captain knew that we
were going to run into bad weather?

I really couldn't say, Mr. Butterball.

You see, it works like this.

The captain holds a little conference
with the navigating officer.

They study the weather, then they make
up their estimate.

I see, but if the weather were to be bad
all night, it might be a very good idea

to pick a low number. What do you think?

Well, perhaps it would.

I doubt if the captain allowed for a
really rough night.

Yes, but if you could choose a number,
what number would you choose?

I really couldn't say, Mr. Bottable. You
see, I don't know the range yet.

That isn't announced until the auction
starts right after dinner.

Isn't that delicious?

And I can already imagine a sense of
grandeur on seeing Michelangelo's

in the Sistine Chapel.

Excuse me, all.

You think we slacken speed because of
this weather?

Oh, my word, yes, sir.

We'd have to slacken off speed in this
weather, or you'd be throwing the

passengers all over the ship.

You know, I have a notion I'm going to
make a bid.

That's how I thought you had.

Are you dead? Why?

It's written all over your face,
Butterball.

You've got that gambler's gleam in your
eye.

Well, now, I wouldn't mind picking up $7
,000, would you?

No, not at all.

I'd prefer better odds.

Or some inside information?

Ladies and gentlemen, the captain has
estimated the day's run, ending at

tomorrow, at 515 miles.

As usual, we will take the ten numbers
on either side of it to make up the

range.

That means from 505...

Up to 525.

And for those who think the true figure
will be still farther away, we'll have a

low field and a high field.

Now we'll draw the first number.

515.

You've made this trip before, Mr.
Renshaw.

How do those figures stack up with you?

Oh, you know?

About average, as I recall.

Number 515.

Are you sure they don't seem lower than
usual?

No, I don't think so.

You haven't got this auction rigged,
have you, Butterball?

Not in the bag, but I did have dinner
with the press here.

Oh, what did he say?

Oh, he doesn't know any more about it
than I do, but he did say that the

figured his estimate about 4 p .m. this
afternoon.

And that was before the storm slows
down.

Mm -hmm.

One of the low numbers.

Oh, better than that.

Lower field.

If the storm keeps up all night.

Butterball, I really think you're onto
something.

Oh, no, no, no, no. I won't bid against
you.

You worked it out. You're entitled to
it.

If somebody doesn't, I'll bid you.

Now we have 505.

What am I bid for 505?

150 pounds.

160.

That's a pretty high bid, isn't it?

I imagine these fellows notice the
weather, too.

200 pounds.

Do I hear any advance on 200?

How high do these bids go?

It's hard to say. I'd be prepared to go
250, 300 pounds.

That's almost 900 dollars.

I couldn't go that high.

Well, I mean, I don't carry that much
cash. Oh, well, they'll take a check,

sure. Oh, yes, a check, of course.

Lowfield next.

As you all know, Lowfield covers every
number below the smallest figure in the

estimate. In this case, every number
below 505.

So, what am I bid for Lowfield?

90 pounds.

That's the lowest bid of the night.

Don't be fooled by it, my boy.

90 pounds, I'm bid.

100.

Thank you.

175. Thank you, madam. 175. We're going
nicely, ladies and gentlemen. 175

pounds. 200.

200.

250. Thank you, sir. 250 pounds. Is
there any advance?

Going for 250.

260. 70.

80. 300.

325.

350. I have a bid of 350 pounds.

Is there any advance?

Going for 350 pounds.

Going.

Going.

Gone.

Congratulations, Bottle.

Oh, yes, thank you.

350 pounds.

$980.

Shouldn't wonder if the pool runs a bit
higher than usual.

There's almost 10 ,000 in it.

10 ,000?

That much?

Well,

that's fine.

That's fine. I can use it.

Ethel, will you turn out the light,
please?

There are no lights on, William. It's
morning.

Hmm?

William, I've been revising our Paris
tour.

If we do the Louvre and Napoleon's tour
the same day, we can manage one evening

of entertainment.

I suppose you'd prefer to have it in
Paris, but we have to watch the pennies

watch the tips.

Look, Ethel, you're going to find out
soon enough, so I might as well tell you

myself.

I had a little bad luck.

Oh, William, you haven't been gambling
again. You know every penny of that

is budgeted. But I was so sure that I
could win.

And if I had, we could have taken all
the tours and had something left over.

But you didn't win. You never do.

Well, if we bypass SEC, we can save $50.
Was it that much, William?

No.

It wasn't $50.

Well, that's something.

What's the matter with you? You look
terrible.

I think I'm going to get seasick.

Oh, William, you always manage to do
things backwards.

Last night they could barely keep the
dishes on the table and didn't bother

at all.

And now when the sea is flat as a pond,
you have to go get seasick. Just leave

me alone, please.

Lovely weather, isn't it, Mr.
Butterball? Lovely.

Yes, it certainly cleared up in a hurry.

What time did the wind drop?

About 4 a .m., I think.

And we're going quite fast now, aren't
we?

Yes, we certainly are.

We have to make up the time that we
lost, you know.

Excuse me, please.

Well, hello, Butterball.

Oh, how do you do, Mr. Renshaw? Mrs.
Renshaw?

Hello, Mr. Butterball.

Won't you sit down here and amuse my
husband?

Oh, now, don't let me chase you away,
Mrs. Renshaw. I have an appointment with

hairdresser.

Well, Baltimore, before it slips my
mind, there's a small card game brewing

for after lunch.

Would you care to sit in?

No, thank you.

Oh, really?

I had an idea you'd be just the man for
a little table of steaks.

Well, how does your low field look this
morning?

Looks like I ran out of the money.

Oh, I don't know.

That storm lost us considerable time. It
might have lasted.

We've made all that time up.

The only way I could possibly win now
would be to put this vessel in reverse

go full speed astern.

You might be able to get the captain to
do that for you, for a percentage of the

profits.

I'm sorry about it.

It wasn't a very good joke, was it?

I remember now you said that most of
your cash had gone into the pool.

That can be very embarrassing.

You must know. You play the market.

I can remember a few bad days.

Oh, well, then you're just a man to give
me some expert advice.

Anybody can have hindsight, my boy.

I thought myself it was a good venture.

Last night.

But how did you break the bad news to
the little woman?

Frankly, I didn't.

Never let on there was anything wrong.

Yes, well, you see, that won't work in
my case.

I have just enough money left to tide us
over until the next boat back.

Really?

Well, sorry to hear that, Butterball.

But it's only nine o 'clock.

Anything could happen in the next three
hours.

Such as?

Oh, engine trouble, bad weather.

Anything that would slow us down.

Well, if you'll excuse me.

Thanks.

Or I could drown myself.

That could do it.

I wouldn't drown.

I'm a very good swimmer.

I could keep afloat until they came back
to pick me up.

They'd have to stop the ship, lower a
lifeboat, row back, and then return to

ship.

The whole thing would take at least an
hour.

That would be enough.

That would take 30 miles off the day's
run.

Lofield would be a cinch then.

I've got to be sure that someone sees me
go over.

Can't take any chances there.

Somebody with good eyesight and good
hearing.

A woman.

Let her get hysterical.

The louder she screams, the better.

Well, hello.

Oh, it's you.

I do believe it is.

How did you know?

Well, you said every wave has... That's
right, that's right. I remember.

Well, I'm relieved. I thought for a
moment you were being psychic.

Why do you say that?

Well, I don't know. I came up here and I
said hello and you turned around and

said, oh, it's you.

Well, I mean, how did you know I was
here?

I was listening.

I have on tennis shoes.

Well, I had no trouble hearing you.

Are you going to play deck tennis?

Oh, yes, yes. I have to get my exercise.
Never miss it, you know.

Well, nice to see you again.

Thanks.

Hearing good.

Eyesight adequate.

You're it, lady.

Screen the goals down when I go over.

Take a deep breath.

That goes for you too, lady.

Remember, this is for $10 ,000 on low
field.

Maybe she's got a number herself.

A high one.

Well, she wouldn't screw you at all.

For $10 ,000, she'd let me drown.

By the way, we were wondering why we
don't see you around much in the

Oh, I am, sometimes.

Oh, really?

Well, were you at the auction last
night?

The auction?

Well, you know, the lottery they hold in
the lounge.

Where they sell chances on the ship's
daily run.

I didn't know.

I go to bed so early.

I'm very lazy.

I see. Well, maybe we'll see you there
this evening.

Have to get back to my exercise.

been searching the ship from top to
bottom. I can't take my eyes off you for

second. The man just jumped overboard
with all his clothes on.

Nonsense. He said he wanted to get some
exercise and he just dived in.

Oh, Emily, for heaven's sake, there's no
one there. Come along. Come along.

Let's go back to the cabin.

And you must promise me not to go
wandering about alone anymore.

Otherwise, you'll not be allowed to take
any more trips.

Such a nice man. He waved to me.

You will be pleased to know that our
story had a happy ending.

The ship was delayed by engine trouble,
so that Mr. Botterball won the pool.

Regrettably, Mr.

Botterball was not there to enjoy the
money, but his wife and her second

had a very good time with it.

Our voyage should be over in a few
minutes, but we're approaching rough

I think I shall move nearer the railing.

You stay here, however, for I shall
weave back in just one minute.

That was worse than I expected.

And to add insult to injury, the captain
has asked me to get off the ship.

He claims I'm tipping it over.

It's absurd, of course, but all the
passengers are with him.

and its jump or be pushed.

So, until next week, bon voyage.
