body-snatchers under her roof.

Here, you let go off me!

Unless you mean it.

Unless you've got...

half-a-grand.

Get off of him!

Where are Burke and Hare now?

Burke's up there!

We give a lift-up in the world.

Burke by name, and a burke by nature.

Come on, Doctor. Let's get away from here.

- No! Hare...

If I could only see Hare...

Oh, you can see him...

But I doubt very much

if he'll be able to see you.

Not after he gets out of the lime pit.

I'm sorry...

It's got nothing to do with me,

but I've heard you pacing there for hours.

I know you haven't eaten.

Please don't be offended.

I'm flattered.

Not offended.

Would it compromise you if you

took a glass of wine with me?

Thank you.

You must think me a strange man.

No.

I think you're noble.

I think you're working on something good.

And dedicated to it. Far too dedicated.

I'm delighted to make you eat.

But I wish I could make you rest.

To stop driving yourself so hard.

I can't.

Not untill I've made a decision.

Your health and my gratitude.

Please.

What kind of decision?

- It's a question of morality.

I have to weigh an evil againt non-questioned good.

A life-boat with...

half-a-dozen people aboard.

And a big steamliner with,

perhaps, five hundred.

Would you sacrifice the life-boat

to safe the steamliner?

- It's absolutely necessary

to sacrifice the life-boat?

To save the liner, yes.

Then you must.

Any means is worth the end-result?

- If the end-result is worthwhile

and important enough...

Then you have no alternative.

- Any means?

I decided I must take human life

so as to eventually prolong it.

And then came the next terrible decision.

Who?

At the end of the next long street

He'll be there

Around the next-up corner

Waiting there

Hello...

Looking for something?

Well, it wasn't me!

I can tell you it wasn't me!

- What a twat are you!

Want a punch of bogus ratching-o?

- Come on, Jack.

Leave her!

Come on! Do you want the law here?

That... That filthy, dirty...

Come on. She's not worth it.

I should have killed her...

I'd be doing everybody a favour if I killed her...

Thank you, kind sir.

You're a gentleman.

- May I escort you?

Oh...

A real gentleman...

I knew it.

I'm really popular with real gentlemen.

On the account of the fact

that I speak langue French.

'Course, I come from very good stock too, you know.

My father was a gentleman.

But he wasn't gentleman enough

to marry me mother.

Oh, that's by-the-by.

Point is, I can tell a real gentleman.

Not by the way he looks...

But, well...

Real gentlemen...

... they have such...

sophisticated taste in...

... certain things.

A quiet one, aren't we?

You've hardly said a word.
