Monsieur Verdoux Page #14

---

Do you know anybody that wants a job?

No, I don't.

I can't keep on doing this sort

of business all the time.

- I don't want any money.

- What do you want?

Nothing, I just wanted to say hello,

that's all.

You don't believe me?

However, take this.

- No, I don't want your money.

- Take it. Don't be a fool.

Will I see you again?

You go on about your business.

That's my call.

Hello? Annabella?

This is your pigeon.

I'm flying home. I've been

at the shipping office all day.

No, the boat's still up on the ways.

The damage was more serious.

They're still scraping her sides.

You would say something like that.

We won't be ready for days,

so I'm coming home.

Immediately.

Goodbye, dear.

- Good afternoon, Captain.

- Good afternoon.

Will you take this up to my room?

Thank you.

- Pigeon.

- Annabella.

- What's that?

- Pretty?

It's for the woman next door.

I'm worried about the deed to this

house. I want it back in my name.

- Why, of course.

- We can go to the lawyer's now.

- Today?

- I want it done and over with.

Oh, not now! I've only just arrived.

Besides, I want this day to be ours.

Just you and I,

alone in the waning twilight.

If you talk like that,

I'll put it off.

Good! We'll dine alone. We'll prepare

it ourselves and let the maid go.

If I knew it was going to be

this kind of an evening.

- Annette!

- Oui, Madame?

- You may have the afternoon off.

- Merci, Madame.

- Drink?

- Bordeaux'd be nice, pigeon.

Bordeaux?

What are you up to?

- Oh, nothing, Madame.

- Did you break something?

No, I was just closing the window.

Do it more carefully next time.

- Corkscrew.

- There's none here.

It must be in the living room

somewhere.

- Dinner'll be ready in a half hour.

- You deserve a little drink.

I certainly do.

What are you drinking?

- Sarsaparilla.

- Sarsaparilla?

Doctor's orders, my dear.

I can see how this evening will be.

Playing dominoes.

It's good, nice and dry. I like it.

It makes me so thirsty.

I've finished this whole bottle myself

and you ain't touched yours yet.

You've done nothing

but stare all evening.

We were going to enjoy

the waning twilight.

Be careful.

Be careful of the furniture.

Oh, honey, you're always complaining.

Here, drink your drink.

I don't see how you can drink

that vile stuff.

Very good, just like wine

and very dry too.

You're drinking my wine!

Pigeon! Pigeon!

No! No!

Pigeon! Pigeon, let me in!

- Pigeon, darling!

- Milk!

- Qu'est-ce que c'est?

- Woman, leave me alone!

Let me help you, please, darling!

Annette!

Come down, quickly! Hurry!

What happened? Tell me, darling.

I'm poisoned! I'm dying.

- Telephone my wife.

- I'm here.

- Oh, dear! Here, take some wine.
