- For simple-minded people.
- That's mine!
What's the use?
Ah, thank you.
Daddy's very democratic.
He doesn't mind who I marry.
You could have put that better!
If he's not asking for a pedigree,
you're fine, eh Bill?
You could have put that better too!
Oh! I was looking for Mr Cosgood.
Haven't I seen you before?
Really? I wonder where
that could have been?
- I'm not sure.
- Probably in another dimension.
Don't take any notice,
she's our weirdie.
No, it was in a dream...
she and you, George.
- Something to do with death.
- Oh, please, Eva. Can I help you?
I have an appointment
with Mr Cosgood.
on the stage. It's over there.
Oh yes, thank you.
I'll find him, young man.
Mr Cosgood!
Mr Cosgood!
Mr Cos.... oh!
- Are you Jane Marble?
- Marple, if you please.
- Very well, get on with it.
- It?
I have a performance
in half an hour.
Whatever you have
chosen to do, do!
Oh!
Throw your voice to the back of the
theatre. I want to hear you.
I can't catch what you say.
I want to hear every word!
Oh, very well.
The Shooting of Dan McGrew...
..by Mr Robert W. Service.
'A bunch of the boys were whooping
it up in the Malamute saloon
'The kid that handles the music-box
was hitting a jag-time tune
'And back at the bar...
'..in a solo game
sat dangerous Dan McGrew
'And watching his luck was his
light-o'-love, the lady known as Lou.
'When out of the night...
'When out of the night
that was fifty below
'And into the din and the glare,
'There stumbled a miner
fresh from the creeks
'Dog dirty and loaded for bear.'
Just give me the gist
and get to the climax!
Oh, dear me, that's very difficult.
It's a long poem
and there's a great deal behind it.
However, as you wish.
Well now... soon after the stranger
it becomes increasingly evident
there is a growing antagonism
between him and Mr McGrew.
An antagonism which is to end
in stark tragedy.
Shall I pick it up at the point
when the miner,
seated at the saloon piano,
is playing like a maniac?
Yes, yes, please do.
Thank you.
'Then the stranger turned
'And his eyes they burned
in a most peculiar way
'ln a buckskin shirt
that was glazed with dirt he sat
'And I saw him sway
'Then his lips went thin
in a kind of grin
'And he spoke
and his voice was calm
'Boys, says he, you don't know me
and none of you care a darn...'
Yes, yes, yes,
but get to the point, please!
'But I want to state
and my words are straight
'And I'll bet my poke they're true
'That one of you is a hound of hell
'And that one is Dan McGrew
'Then I ducked my head
and the lights went out
'And two guns blazed in the dark
