The 39 Steps Page #5

- Take it now. Thank you.

Go in with the gentleman. He'll stay

with us till tomorrow morning.

- Your daughter?

- My wife.

- Will you now come in?

- Thank you.

Here's your bed.

I'll lift these things.

- Could you sleep there?

- You try and stop me.

You'll be tired.

I'll say I am.

I'm on the tramp,

looking for a job.

Won't you sit down

while I go on with our supper?

Thank you.

- Have you been in these parts long?

- No, I'm from Glasgow.

- Did you ever see it?

- No.

You should see Sauchiohall Street

with all its fine shops...

and Argyll Street

on a Saturday night...

with the trams

and the lights...

and the cinema palaces

and their crowds.

And it's Saturday night tonight.

You certainly don't get

those things out here.

No.

You miss them?

Sometimes.

I've never been to Glasgow,

but I've been to Edinburgh...

and Montreal and London.

I'll tell you all about London

at supper.

- John wouldn't approve of that.

- Why not?

He says it's best not to think

of such places and the wickedness there.

Why not listen now

before he comes back?

What do you want to know?

Is it true that all the ladies

paint their toenails?

Some of them.

- Do London ladies look beautiful?

- They do.

But they wouldn't

if you were beside them.

- You ought not say that.

- What ought he not to say?

I was saying I prefer living in town

than the country.

God made the country.

- Is the supper ready, woman?

- Aye.

- Do you mind if I look at your paper?

- I don't mind.

Thank you.

- You did not tell me your name.

- Hammond.

Well, Mr. Hammond, if you'll put down

that paper, I'll say a blessing.

Of course.

Sanctify these bounteous masses

to us miserable sinners.

O Lord,

make us truly thankful...

for them and for all

Thy manifold blessings.

Continually turn our hearts...

from wickedness...

and from worldly things...

unto Thee.

Amen.

I forgot to lock the barn.

There are cars coming.

It'll be the police. You best be going.

- Thank you. I was having a grand sleep.

- Don't let them catch you.

All right. I'll never forget you

for doing this for me.

- Which way do I go?

- I'll show you.

Aye. I might have known.

Making love behind my back.

- Get out. You too.

- Just a minute...

- Get out of my house before I...

- Aye. Go.

- And leave you like this?

- It's your chance at liberty.

You don't understand.

You're all wrong about this.

She was only trying to help me.

Aye, to bring shame and disgrace

upon my house.

She was helping me to escape

from the police.

- The police?

- Yes, they're after me for murder.

- What?

- They're here.

She was only warning me.

I had to tell her last night.

Don't let them in. Say I'm not here.
