we'll have the law in to turn him out.

And take him his bill.

Three pounds ten.

And see you get it before you come out.

Go on.

Let's leave him a bit, Jenny,

till he cools off.

Go on, do it now. Him and his goggles

and his chemist's shop!

If you don't kick him out, I'm clearing out

myself, and I mean it this time!

And a whole day's work ruined

by a foolish, ignorant woman!

There must be a way back.

- God knows there's a way back.

- (knocking)

If only they'd leave me alone.

Look 'ere, mister,

we can't have this no more.

You broke the wife's best china, you're

behind with the rent. Pack up and go.

I'm expecting some money, Mr Hall.

I'll pay you directly it comes.

You said that last week.

I came here for quiet and secrecy.

I'm carrying out a difficult experiment.

I must be left alone. It's vital. It's life

and death that I should be left alone.

- You don't understand.

- I understand all right.

You don't pay. And what's more,

you're driving folks away from our house.

Mr Hall, I've had a serious accident.

It's disfigured me, affected my eyes.

I mean the way you carry on, throwing

things about on the carpets and swearing.

- It's no good, mister, you've got to go.

- I implore you to let me stay. I beg of you.

The wife says if you don't go, she is,

so it's gotta be you.

Come on. I'll help you

to get this stuff packed up.

Leave that alone and get out of here!

Look here! Is this my house or yours?

What are you doing?

(groaning)

Help! Help! Police!

(screaming and sobbing)

He's a raving lunatic!

Go and get a policeman.

Please don't cry, now.

- He's all right.

- (screams hysterically)

Oh, shut up!

- Come on, Jaffers!

- Here, what's all this?

It's the stranger with the goggles.

He's gone mad. He's assaulted Mrs Hall

and nearly killed her husband.

Oh.

- Where is he?

- He's upstairs in the sitting room.

He's in there, in the sitting room.

He's homicidal.

Oh.

Let that there.

(wails)

Here, keep back, you kids there.

- Here, what's all this?

- Keep back there.

Keep back, me?

Do you know who you're talking to?

I give you a last chance

to leave me alone.

Give me a last chance? You've committed

assault, that's what you've done,

and you can come along

to the station with me.

Come along, now. Come quietly, unless

you want me to put the handcuffs on.

Stop where you are.

You don't know what you're doing.

I know what I'm doing all right. Come on.

- Get hold of him.

- Lock him up!

All right, you fools.

You've brought it on yourselves.

Everything would have come right

if you'd only left me alone.

You've driven me near madness

with your peering through the keyholes

and gaping through the curtains.
