- Yes, she did. Did you have a good trip?
- I wouldn't call it good.
I spent most of the time
with members of their governments.
- Interesting, of course.
- Must have been.
I think a taste for intrigue is
an acquired thing, don't you?
Do sit down.
- What will you have? Whisky and soda?
- Thank you very much.
Have a good evening?
Yes, fine.
Shall we have some music?
- Help yourself to a cigarette, Stratton.
- Oh, thank you.
(Mellow music on record player)
Where did you dine?
Oh, that French place with the mad waiter.
I do wish they wouldn't
keep sending us irises.
I've told them about it before.
They're so spiky and unfriendly.
- How was the show?
- Fair.
Good seats?
Very.
Sit down, darling. I'll get you a drink.
A small one.
As I was about to say when Mary came in,
the most striking thing about the German
people is their pathetic faith in themselves.
Why do you call it pathetic?
The belief of the muscular in their own
strength is always pathetic, don't you think?
Ice?
Don't get up.
Here.
Personally, Stratton, I think there's
which shows up
whenever they have access to great power.
A sort of romantic hysteria.
Well, perhaps not romantic,
but a hysteria anyway,
from a collection of sober,
intelligent, rather
sentimental individuals...
into a dangerous mob.
A mob which can believe that a big
enough lie is not a lie at all...
...but truth.
- Steven, it's late.
- Let him finish his drink.
- Steven, please go.
- Aren't you losing your head?
- What is it?
- Howard knows we weren't at the theatre.
I see.
I'm sorry you had to find out in this way,
but I think you'd better know the truth.
Thank you.
Mary and I have always loved each other.
And we still do.
And now you want to put it right?
(Music off)
You know, Stratton, it's quite a shock to find
that your wife's in love with another man.
And when you've long believed that
your marriage was happy and worthwhile,
the shock is even greater.
Steven, will you go now?
come into your head.
- You even think of killing.
- Steven, please will you go now?
I... I want to talk to Howard alone.
I think Mary's right. You had better go.
- And leave you here?
- You'd better go, Steven.
I shall be all right.
Very well.
When shall I see you?
- I don't know.
- Get out!
I can't... think for the moment.
Good night, Steven.
Good night.
Well?
Taxi!
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.
- I'd like to see Mrs Justin.
- Will you come in, sir?
Would you mind waiting a moment, sir?
