All language subtitles for Alfred Hitchcock s07e29 The Matched Pearl.eng

Good evening.

I'm examining this pearl.

You should have seen the oyster.

I already have a customer for this.

He's a very wealthy but suspicious
gentleman who plans to give it to his

friend as a pendant.

I'm sure you agree that this is the kind
of gift which inspires fidelity.

That is why I've told him I don't think
it's necessary to attach it to her

ankle.

This is peculiar

There's

a very sinister gentleman in your
future.

I think he's trying to tell you
something

Good morning.

May I help you?

Why, yes. Are you the manager?

I am the owner, sir. Laurent Dubois. How
do you do, Mr. Dubois?

I'd like to see something really special
today for a very special occasion.

Oh, of course.

Mr., uh... Wilkins.

Hubert Wilkins.

How do you do, Mr. Wilkins? Now, if I
could have some ideas to the type of

jewelry and maybe the price range. Oh,
well, we don't have to worry about that.

You see, uh, it's for our wedding
anniversary.

Ah. Well, then, if I may suggest a
beautiful diamond necklace. Now,

this is a particularly fine one here.

No, I don't think it ought to be
diamonds.

My wife has a lot of diamond pieces
already.

Of course, it is not the gem alone that
matters, Mr. Wilkins. It is the design,

the workmanship of the piece.

For example, see here this bracelet,
this diamond? Yes, but ruby.

I don't think so.

I know.

I know. I have some gems which haven't
been placed in settings as yet. Some of

them were left with me on consignment.
Would you like to see those?

Well, now you're talking. Please be
seated.

Thank you.

Here we are, Mr. Wilkins.

Excuse me.

Now.

See? Here. Look at this one. This is a
star sapphire from Ratnapura in Salem.

Isn't this beautiful?

It's not bad.

And this... Pigeon's blood ruby, Mr.
Wilkins. Now, have you ever seen

like this before?

Well, it's all right.

Or this pearl here.

Now, look at the color of this pearl.

A black pearl of this size, you know, is
very rare.

This is a black pink tatter found only
in the Gulf of Mexico, and this happens

to be a very fine specimen.

Now, isn't that something?

Yes, and it would be so simple to have
it mounted in a beautiful setting, like

ring or a pendant. All right, all right,
Mr. Dubois, I'll take it.

Yes, but we haven't discussed the price
yet, Mr. Wilkins. Well, how much, how

much? Well, as I said, this pearl was
left with me on consignment, you see,

and... All right, all right, Mr. Dubois,
how much?

$5 ,000.

Without the setting, of course.

I know this is a large amount of money,
Mr. Wilkins, and I...

Wouldn't expect you to be carrying that
much cash. What's the matter, Murray?

Check no good? Oh, no, no, no, no, it's
not that. Oh, I understand, Mr. Dubois.

I'm a businessman myself.

Now, you just take my check over to the
Third National Bank and get your cash.

Then you deliver the pearl tonight to my
hotel suite.

I'm staying at the door.

Well, that would be fine, Mr. Wilkins.
Thank you. Just make sure you get it

there tonight.

I want it in time for our anniversary.

Mr. Wilkins, I will deliver the pearl
myself. Thank you.

Good day, sir. Good day.

All right.

Yes, sir.

Got an errand for you. Yes, sir.

You know that fellow McKay, the one who
left the pearl with us in consignment?

You mean that sailor person? Yes, that's
right. He lives on a boat at Pier 16. I

want you to take him a check this
afternoon.

Personally? Couldn't you mail it, sir?

No. Because I want to have his signature
on the bill of sale today.

As a matter of fact, you can make it out
now for $4 ,000, less one -third

commission. Figure it out, and I'll make
up the check.

$4 ,000?

I thought we had it priced at five.

Well, Roy, what did I promise you when I
first hired you?

You, uh, you said you would teach me the
jewelry business, Mr. DuPont.

You just had your first lesson.

What's all that hollering?

It's me, Mr. McCabe.

Conroy from Dubois Jewelers.

What do you want, sonny?

May I come on board, Mr. McCabe? I've
got some business with you.

Come ahead.

May I come in?

You're in, aren't you?

What did you do, sonny? Bring your
homework from school?

Mr. McCabe, I came here on a matter of
business regarding that pearl you left

be sold.

I'll buy a little drink first.

No. No, thank you.

Would you mind if I sat down?

Mr. Dubois asked me to bring you this
bill of sale for the pearl and his

You sold the pearl, did you?

I'll bet you got a good price for it,
too.

It sure was a beauty.

Well, what do I get?

Here's the bill of sale.

You'll just sign right here on the
bottom line. Now, wait a minute, Sonny.

did that skinflint boss of yours sell it
for? The price was $4 ,000.

Left the store's commission of 33 .3%.
Now, that makes your total price... What

did you say?

$2 ,666.

Sonny! Didn't they teach you at school
that black pearls cost more money than

that? Please, Mr. McKay, please.

I'm only Mr. Dubois' assistant. Mr.
Dubois made the sale.

You take that bill of sale back to Mr.

Dubois and tell him to... Did I take it
you don't want to make the deal?

You say you got the check with you?

That's right.

I am running low on money, and... That
pearl's been on the market a good two

months. It, uh... It really isn't a bad
price, Mr. McCabe, considering.

All right, let me have that bill of
sale.

The man here, Poopsie?

Yes, Sugarcup.

He's here.

Come on.

Come on.

Lolly, don't you want to see the pearl?

No.

Mr. Dubois, this is Mrs.

Wilkins.

Lolly, he came all the way over here
just to bring you this beautiful black

pearl.

Mr. Dubois, tell her where it comes
from.

Yes.

Well, this is a black pintada, Mrs.
Wilkins, and it is found only in the

Mexico. I don't like Mexico.

The hotel there wasn't even air
-conditioned.

Honey bunch.

Just look at it. Did you ever see such a
gorgeous pearl?

Well, I guess it's all right if I only
had one ear.

I beg your pardon?

Mr. Dubois, I'm afraid that's the
trouble. You see, I told Lolly

that I got her one pearl.

And I guess she just doesn't know what
to do with one pearl.

I see.

Yes.

Mrs. Wilkins?

Miss... Allow me. Mrs. Wilkins, may I
suggest

that the ring... A ring?

Oh, please now, take care. A ring?

She doesn't like rings.

Oh, that's how you ever bring me rings.

I've got rings for every finger, rings
for every day of the week, rings for

every month of the year. Where am I
going to put another ring in my nose?

Oh, now you're getting yourself all
upset.

Now, we won't say another word about
rings.

Not another word.

Oh, I want earrings. You know I like
earrings. I know. You used to say I had

such pretty ears, didn't you?

Oh, yes.

Oh, you certainly have.

Here, you dry your pretty eyes.

She's such a sensitive girl.

Yes, sir. I can see that, yes.

Mr. Dubois.

There's only one way to solve this
problem.

Yes? I'll have to get another black
pearl.

A matched one, of course. Then I can
have a pair of earrings made up.

Another black pearl? But, Mr. Wilkins,
I'm afraid that you don't appreciate how

rare a black pearl is. I mean... Oh, I
know. I know it'll cost a lot, but

all right. You just spend whatever you
have to spend. Oh, but you'll have it in

time for our anniversary, won't he?

Well, it just isn't possible. I mean,
it's so short a time. Oh, I know you can

do it, Mr. Dubois.

But it might cost you a lot of money,
Mr. Wilkins. Much more than you pay for

the first match fair, you know. That
doesn't matter.

You get me the pearl.

Let me worry about the money.

I want her to be happy.

That's all I care about.

Well, I'll do my very best, Mr. Wilkins.

Good.

Good night, Mrs. Wilkins.

Good night.

Good night, Mr. Wilkins.

Good night.

Good night.

Dubois, what do you want?

Clive, I have to talk to you.

Shove off.

I've got a proposition for you.

Big proposition.

Don't try to sweet -talk me, Dubois. I
know you cheated on that pearl.

I'm sorry you were disappointed in the
price, Captain.

So I thought I'd make it up to you.

Make it up to me, huh?

How?

By offering you a new deal, Captain.

Much more profitable deal.

You told me once that you had found
several black pearls on that expedition

yours. Well, now, if you happen to have
a match pearl for the first one, I'd be

willing to buy it myself, you know. No
commission, just a straight sale between

friends. You want to buy a pearl from
me, huh?

Yes.

And I'd give you twice the money you got
for the first one.

All right.

Suppose I do have another black pearl.

Yes.

Only suppose I set my own price, like $7
,000 net.

Really, McKee, let's be sensible.

But do you have such a pearl?

like, like,

like this?

Yes, yes, something like this, yes.

You know, Captain, you shouldn't keep
such valuable gems around loose like

I mean, you should put them in the bank
where they would be safe, you know.

You may be right.

I'd hate to lose a beauty like this to
any kind of thief.

Pretty, isn't it?

Yes, yes, it's not bad, yes.

Of course, it's not a perfect match to
the other one, but no.

Looks like a pretty perfect match to me.

Fine, yes.

That'll do. Fine.

So, $7 ,000, you said, huh?

Well, do you want to do business with me
or not, Captain? You give me the pearl

and I'll give you the check.

Well, what's the matter?

You must want that pearl awful bad, huh,
Dubois?

Well, you're not getting it.

Not for $7 ,000, not for $50 ,000.

The only thing you're getting off this
boat is your own ugly hide. Now get off

before I throw you off!

Get off my boat before I throw you off!
Off!

Hello, Laurent Dubois.

Yes, Mr. Leggett, how are you?

Fine.

Yes, that's right, about 18 or 20
carriages.

You don't have it.

You can't.

All right, thank you, Mr. Leggett.

Yes, thank you.

Well, there goes my last hope.

I thought Leggett would be sure to come
through.

If Mr. Wilkins was willing to go as high
as $20 ,000 for the pearl, perhaps we

could offer McCabe more money, say $10
,000.

$10 ,000? Are you out of your mind,
Conroy? You know that pearl isn't worth

,000. But if Mr. Wilkins was willing to
pay 20, well, you'd still have 100 %

profit, Mr. Dubois.

100 %?

Yes, that's not bad.

100%. All right, get me a bottle of
whiskey, Conroy.

I just thought we would have a friendly
drink together, Captain.

I brought the bottle so we could
celebrate.

Celebrate what?

Give me one reason why I should have a
drink with you.

A business deal, Captain.

Here.

What's your proposition, Dubois?

I bet you you've faced danger many
times.

Diving for those pearls, ten fathoms
below the surface. I get to the point.

do you want from me?

You know what I want, Captain.

I want the pearl.

And I'm willing to give you a price.

And even you can't resist.

Is that so?

That's so.

$10 ,000, Captain.

Now, even you know that the pearl isn't
worth $10 ,000, but that's what I'm

willing to offer.

$10 ,000, huh?

Uh -huh.

That's how much I value your goodwill,
Captain.

Is that a deal?

That sure is a lot of money.

Mm -hmm.

Oh, allow me.

Captain McCabe.

Captain McCabe.

Nothing sweetens a smoke like a $10 ,000
check.

All right, McCabe.

What do you want?

I came here to do business with you, and
I'm not going away empty -handed.

So you name your price.

What's that, sport?

All right.

$13 ,000, McCabe.

That's a lot of money.

Not enough.

All right.

$14 ,000.

You can't turn down an offer like that.

Yes, I can, and that's exactly what I'm
doing.

McCabe!

McCabe!

$15 ,000.

the pearls here anymore.

You don't? No, I took your advice and
put them all in a safety bonded box at

Third National Bank.

Oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

That's... That's all right. They'll go
to the bank right away, young 'un. You

give me the pearl and I'll give you a
check. Does that suit you?

All right, that, uh... That suits me
fine.

Wait a minute, aren't you forgetting
something first?

You strike a hard bargain, McCabe.

Any more sport?

It's all yours.

Thank you.

I think I'd better take it to my client
right away.

Bye, Captain.

This is Laurent Dubois, Mrs. Wilkins.

Please,

Mrs. Wilkins.

Huh? Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins, this is their
suite, no?

Ain't nobody here now, mister.

You mean, ain't nobody.

That's ridiculous.

Mrs. Wilkins?

They told me they'd be here on...

It's gotta be here.

They can't do that to me.

Hello, darling.

Daddy? Yes, dear?

That Mr. Dubois.

He wasn't a very nice man, was he?

No. No, I wouldn't say he was.

But perhaps he's been taught a lesson.

Feels better now.

That was the worst part of this job,
that beard.

Oh, and living on that filthy boat.
Well, you played your part to

Randolph. Yes, darling, you were
wonderful.

Oh, thank you. You were pretty wonderful
yourself.

Oh, and so was your father.

Daddy's always marvelous.

Oh, thank you, daughter.

Oh, say, let's take a look at the
balance sheet, huh?

Oh, this is beautiful.

I pick $5 ,000 for the pearl.

Dubois gave you $2 ,600, then he paid
$15 ,000,

making a profit for us of $12 ,600.

Not bad, huh, sweetheart?

Poor Mr. Dubois. He's probably tearing
his hair out right now.

Wait till he finds out he had to pay $15
,000 to buy the same pearl twice.

Well, head your course due south, sport.

Bigger and better suckers on the
horizon.

see evil do as punished will be

to know that is exactly what happened in
the next reel however to make the rest

of you happy we shall spare you the pain
of actually seeing it and shall show a

commercial instead after which I shall
hustle back in closing

I would like to explain something to
Miss Ethel T of Pasadena, California.

She doesn't care for our cynicism and
has asked, why don't we present more

sweet little stories?

We would like to, Miss T, but they are
much too fattening. So, until next week

at this time, good night.
