Summer nights are pleasant
in Caulfield.
They smell of heliotrope
and jasmine,
honeysuckle and clover.
The breeze
that stirs the curtains
is soft and gentle.
There's the hush,
the stillness
of perfect peace and security.
Oh, yes.
The summer nights are pleasant
in Caulfield.
But not for us.
Not for us.
The house we live in
is so pleasant.
The lawn always seems
freshly watered,
the beds of flowers so neat,
the dazzling whiteness
of the porch supports
the satin finish
of the rich, old floors,
the smell of wax.
This is a home,
warm and friendly
as a home should be.
But not for us.
Not for us.
I love him and he loves me.
I know he does.
And yet I know just as surely
that someday he'll pack
his things and leave.
Though he won't want to.
But even if he doesn't leave,
I know it will be I
who will walk out
and never come back.
We've fought this thing.
We've driven it away
a thousand times,
and it comes back again
in... a look,
in a thought.
You believed our love
would be strong enough
to make us forget.
But we haven't.
This is a thing apart.
This is...
murder.
Wanna go out somewhere?
It's a nice night.
If you think we should.
Come on.
You can put him to bed.
He's asleep now.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes, I knew him.
We'll be here.
What?
The police.
Are they coming here now?
In a few minutes.
Did they say...?
Which one of us they want?
No.
I'll put him to bed.
Don't let him suffer
for the mistakes I've made.
I was wrong.
Terribly wrong
in what I tried to do.
But I was desperate.
So desperate.
Steve.
Steve.
Steve.
She's here again.
Steve. It's me, Helen.
Steve.
I know you're there, Steve.
Let me in, please.
Please.
Please let me in, please.
Oh, Steve, don't do this to me.
I came all the way here
to find you.
I don't know anyone in New York.
I haven't anybody.
I have to see you.
Steve, I'm gonna stay here!
I'm gonna stay here!
Will you pipe down!
Show a little consideration for
people who stay up all night.
Things is tough enough
without having my sleep
disturbed by you.
Now, scram!
Steve, please.
Oh, Steve, please.
Don't ever try
to brush me off like that.
Would you take my seat, please?
Oh. No, thank you.
Go ahead.
Take my place for a while.
Come on. We want you to.
You can't stay out there
like that. Come on.
We want you to.
There you are.
Isn't that better, hm?
Thank you.
You look dead.
It's this awful train.
It's his fault we're on it.
to go home for the 4th of July.
You wouldn't think a firecracker
could be that important,
would you?
We had tickets on the plane
and everything,
and at the last moment
he wouldn't let me fly.
You know, for the same reason
your husband probably
wouldn't let you fly.
And look where that bright idea
of his landed us. Here.
Well, go someplace.
Just don't stand there hovering.
Well, if you're sure
you're all right,
smoke a cigarette.
Smoke two.
Okay, boss.
See how henpecked I am?
He's nice, isn't he?
I mean, giving me his place.
Oh, he's tolerable.
He has his good points.
about you I mean.
I am too. It's that month.
Eh--
Oh, wonderful.
Where's your husband?
Are you meeting him?
No.
Oh, did you leave him
in New York?
No, I...
I've lost him.
I'm sorry, I'm such a fool.
I--
That's all right.
It's funny.
You never think, do you?
No, you never do.
He's coming back.
He didn't smoke--
We just got rid of you.
What are you doing--?
Special inside information
from the porter.
