Charlie Chan in Rio Page #3

- You don't go to Marana for a reading.

He calls it a psychog...

A psychognosis.

That's what makes it so expensive.

Seriously, honey. You're not going to

see this Marana person, are you?

He'll only take a few minutes. You won't

mind waiting in the car for me, will you?

Wait in the car? Not on your life.

If you go, I'm going with you.

I should say not.

That's just like letting you read my diary.

Oh, no. My skeletons in the closet

are my skeletons.

How do I look?

- Beautiful.

- Hurry up now.

I'll straighten up a few things here

and see you at home later on.

- All right, Helen. Good night.

- Good night.

See you later.

I'll only be a minute, darling.

He tells you I love you, he's a faker.

#L-I-I-I-I I like you very much

#L-I-I-I-I I like you very much

#I-I-I-I-I

I think you're grand

- Good evening, Miss Dean.

- Good evening.

- Won't you come in?

- Thank you.

#My heart starts to beat

to beat the band

#I-I-I-I I like you to hold me tight

I was just listening

to your latest recording.

I hadn't heard it myself.

- Not bad.

- I should say not.

I've heard you sing many times at the casino.

You have a lovely voice.

- Thank you.

- Won't you sit down?

# Oh, I like your lips

Please take off your hat. You'll be much

more comfortable during the psychognosis.

I've made some fresh coffee.

Will you have some? It's delicious.

- Yes, please.

- Interesting, isn't it?

Yes, very.

I value it highly,

not only because of its artistic merit...

because it's associated with

my early days in the Orient.

But that's another story.

Isn't it amazing, the amount of stimulation

we feel we need in our daily lives?

Coffee, cigarettes.

Everyone but my fianc.

He doesn't indulge in either.

I can understand his abstinence.

Being near you,

he doesn't lack stimulation.

That's a very pretty compliment.

- Your coffee.

- Oh, thank you.

And now let's go

from the sublime to the infinite.

Let's peep around the corner of infinity

and see what we can see.

Answer my questions, please.

What is your real name?

Lola Wagner.

How long have you lived in Rio?

Over a year.

- Where did you come from?

- New York.

How long were you in New York?

About six months.

- Where did you live before that?

- Honolulu.

Why did you leave there?

- I ran away.

- Why?

L... I killed a man.

What was his name?

Manuel Cardozo.

He came to Honolulu on a business trip.

Why did you kill him?

I was madly in love with him.

- Didn't you know he was married?

- Yes.

I wanted him to divorce his wife

and marry me.

He refused, and I killed him.

What happened?

Don't be alarmed, Miss Dean.

- I must have fainted.

- No, You were in a semi-comatose state.
