- When will you...

- Another liqueur, sir?

- No, thank you.

- No, thank you. Bring the bill, please.

When will you tell him? Tonight?

I'm not sure. I shall know the

right moment when it comes.

You mustn't worry.

I shall worry all the same.

I know exactly what he'll say.

It's what he said before.

That our love - yours and mine -

wasn't what I wanted, not in my heart.

And that I can never stand, really,

belonging to someone.

I shall belong to you.

Yes. Justin.

Yes. Justin.

But she's left them behind.

Yes.

They're stalls. Row D. Numbers 24 and 25.

Yes.

And you'll let her have them if she asks?

- Thank you so much. Goodbye.

- All right. Let's get on, shall we?

Where was I?

"The President said..."

Yes.

"The President said that while the establishment

of very low rates of interest by the Reichsbank"

would not necessarily keep the rate of

investment up to the rate of saving...

...in a free market...

...the restrictions

imposed by the regime...

...has ensured a margin of safety...

in this respect.

He explained that since other means had been

found of stabilising internal price levels...

...the effect of the natural market

had been largely... neutralised.

Throughout this conversation with him,

"I had the impression that his earlier

protestations had been quite insincere."

I think I'll go on with this

in the morning, Miss Layton.

Very well, Mr Justin.

- Shall I do what you've given me so far?

- No. Leave it till tomorrow.

- Anything else?

- Nothing, thank you. Good night.

Good night, Mr Justin.

(Orchestral flourish)

ROMANTIC LEADS:
First love and last love,

my heart always knew

I knew from the first it was you

East love and West love

in Spring time or Fall

My first love's the best love of all

Since there was salt here in the sea

It was intended - you're meant for me

First love and last love,

it's always been true

I knew from the first it was you

Oh, yes, I knew from the first

(Characters laughing)

(Music finishes)

We're nearly home.

Yes.

Will you telephone me tomorrow?

- About midday?

- Mm-hm.

Good night, my darling.

(Car pulls up outside)

Is that you, Mary?

Yes.

Thank you, Steven. I enjoyed it immensely.

- Good night, Mary.

- Good night.

We can't let you go like that, Stratton.

Won't you come in?

I don't think I will, thank you.

My taxi's waiting.

Pay it off. You'll get

another at the corner.

- Come in and have a drink.

- Yes, do, Steven.

All right. I won't be a minute.

- How much do I owe you?

- Three bob on the clock.

- Thank you.

- Thank you, sir.

- Let me take your coat.

- Thank you.

Mary will join us in a minute.

I expect she's told you

I've been away in Germany and Italy.
