Shadow of a Doubt Page #5

---

It's not good

to find out too much, Charlie.

But we're sort of like twins.

Don't you see?

- We have to know.

- Give me your hand, Charlie.

Thank you.

- You didn't even look at it.

- I don't have to.

No matter what you gave me,

it'd be the same.

Here. Let me show you.

It's a good emerald. A really good one.

Good emeralds are

the most beautiful things in the world.

- You've had something engraved.

- I haven't, but I will if you like it.

Yes, you have, Uncle Charlie.

It's very faint.

"T.S. from B.M."

But... Why, it must be someone's initials.

Well, I've been rooked.

The jeweller rooked me.

- Oh, it doesn't matter. Really.

- Give it back. I'll have it taken off.

No, No. I like it this way.

Someone else was probably happy

with this ring.

Oh, it's perfect the way it is.

You bring the coffee.

Sing at the table,

you'll marry a crazy husband.

Superstitions have been

proved 100% wrong.

Yes, I've been thinking of transferring

some money out here from the East.

I could put it in your bank, Joe,

until I found out what's what.

Uh, I suppose your bank

does take money, huh?

That's one thing we do.

Rake in the dough.

Can't promise to give it back.

Well, I'll go downtown in the morning

and open an account.

- 30 or 40,000 just to start things off?

- That's a lot of money.

He won't have it long.

The government will get it.

- The government gets -

- Don't talk against the government.

The way men do things.

I can't get that tune out of my head.

Maybe if somebody tells me what it is,

I'll forget it.

- It's a waltz.

- I know it is, but what one?

You know, it's the funniest thing.

Sometimes I get a tune

in my head like that

and pretty soon, I hear

somebody else humming it too.

I think tunes jump from head to head.

Do you know what it is,

Uncle Charlie?

Uh, no. No. I-I-I don't know what it is.

I remember.

Uh... It's on the tip of my tongue.

It's a waltz and it's Victor Herbert.

- Victor Herbert wasn't a waltz.

- It's the Blue Danube Waltz.

Oh, yes. Of course it is.

No, it isn't, Uncle Charlie.

I know what it is. It's the Merry -

- I'm terribly sorry, Emmy.

- Nothing to make a fuss about.

Charles, while we do the dishes,

why don't you come in the living room

and stretch out on the sofa

and read the evening paper?

You never were much on helping.

- Joe, here's Herbert.

- Ann, Roger, help me here.

Herbert's a friend of Joe's.

They're literary critics.

Hello, Herb. Had your supper?

- Had mine an hour ago.

- Hour ago, huh?

- Oh. A watch.

- Yeah, a present.

Here, Herb.

I'd like you to meet my brother-in-law.

- Charles, this is Herb Hawkins.

- Nice to know you, Mr Hawkins.

- Fine, thank you.
