Cul-de-sac Page #4

Baby, come back! You'll drown!

Dames!

You can't imagine.

You have no idea.

What do you think, I'm a square?

She's just a girl, a child.

She's a naughty little girl.

A child, my foot.

I worship her.

I'm absolutely crazy about her.

You're a sucker.

Have you ever been in love?

- Answer me!

- Shut up!

Have you ev -

I'll be damned. It's unbelievable.

A helicopter!

Ah, good old Katelbach!

Who but him would think

of a thing like that, huh?

Come on, fellas. Here I am!

Here I am, boys!

- Katelbach!

- Dickie -

Katelbach! There's my little boys!

- Dickie, it's not -

- They're searching for us!

- Dickie, it's not a helicopter.

- Come on, let's build a fire!

- Here I am, boys!

- It's the regular plane!

- Here! Here!

- It's not a helicopter!

- I'm right here, boys!

- Dickie, it's the regular plane!

- Hey! Hey!

- I swear, it's -

- It's the regular plane!

- You want me to shoot you?

- Is that what you're asking for?

- No! Dickie, look! Look!

You see, it's going away.

It often passes over this place.

It's the regular plane.

Dickie. Dickie.

It's the regular plane, I swear.

You've gotta always be regular -

always - with Dickie.

- Always.

- I'm -

I'm regular with you.

Dickie. Dickie. Dickie, I -

I - I'm regular with you.

Aren't I, Dickie?

- I want to tell you something.

- What?

Rob Roy.

Rob Roy?

I...

can't...

stand it!

Well, you were just telling me

how great it was.

Nah! The castle.

It's, uh - It's impossible to heat

in the winter.

It's not practical, and there's...

drafts.

There's something p -

Something peculiar.

- Peculiar?

- That's right, something -

- Like peculiar noises?

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, it's... something inexpliss -

inexpressible.

Something unpleasant.

And you spent all that dough on it?

Everything.

Everything. It took everything I got.

Mind you, I'm not, uh, complaining, but -

You poor bugger.

Took everything.

Must be asleep!

No, she's swimming. She -

She can swim for hours.

I'm talking about the owl.

I don't regret anything!

- Ah. No.

- No sense crying over spilt milk.

- No.

- What's done's done.

Yes, it's done. It's done.

But just to give you an -

Take, for example, the chicken house.

- The hell with the chicken house!

- You're right.

How long have you been married?

I've - Ten months on the 27th of October.

It's only just beginning.

You can't imagine. She -

She was in the - Dickie. She -

She was in the -

When I met her.

I know something I could tell you, but -

Nah, you're too square.

Oh, come on, tell me.

Nah, you're too much of a square.

Wouldn't do you no good.

Well, go on. Go on.

Dickie, is it something that you know?

Yeah, but I ain't telling you.

Well - Now you really are

being nasty to me.

I don't want to talk anymore!

They're all whores!

I don't give a damn for you

or your goddamn love life.

Will that bloody tide be down

tomorrow or not?

Uh, I think -

I'll have to consult the almanac.

Consult an almanac!

You gotta be out of your skull

to live in a hole like that!

Will that bloody tide be down

tomorrow morning, or will it?

- Answer yes or no!

- Yes.

- What do you mean yes?

- The bloody tide will be down.

- What time?

- I don't know. I have to check.

- What's going on?

- Baby, baby, come on!

What's going on?

- Come and join us!

- What were you shooting?

No, Dickie loosed off a few shots.

What?

He was shooting.

He thought it was Katelbach.

You're pissed.

We just are having a quiet little talk.

Let me alone!

Let me alone! Go away!

- Go away!

- Ah! Baby!

Baby, come here.

Dickie's rather nice.

Darling, let me take it for you.

- Baby -

- Go away!

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby!

Come back, baby!

Baby, come back.

Darling, come on.

Get up, you artists!

It's time!

It's time?

Come on, get up.

He'll be arriving any minute.

I'm borrowing one of your shirts.

You make breakfast.

And a tie.

For four people.

And make it snappy!

Are - Are you sure you won't

let me use my electric razor?

I told you, it tears my flesh.

I got delicate skin.

- Ow!

- Ow! Oh! Oh!

Well, what about this coffee?

The water is boiling.

It has to be ground.

I'll do it.

Make it snappy.

Unbelievable.

Cut out that music.

I'm getting sick to death of it.

There they are!

They're tearing along!

I'll bet that's Fat Tony at the wheel!

Boy, look at him zip along!

Boy, oh, boy, has he got nerve!

Good old Fat Tony!

Come on, let's go!

Not there. In here.

No -

Swine!

I'm coming, boys. I'm coming!

- You did nothing! Nothing at all!

- Teresa - Teresa -

You were in a blue funk the whole time.

Don't you understand?

They're ready to shoot us down like dogs.

How do we get out of here?

How?

Be quiet.

Be quiet.

The main thing is that Dickie

should go off with his gang.

Why didn't you tell me? Why?

What have I -

What have I done?

You were expecting someone.

Someone?

- What?

- They're here. Outside. No time to talk.

One word about me,

and I'll let her have it.

The first one is for you.

George!

George! George!

Oh, it's good to see you again!

What on earth are you doing here?

It is good to see you!

Oh, so this is were you've been

hiding yourself, is it?

Yes.

You're a dark horse, you know.

Oh - What's the matter?

Is there something wrong?

You look a bit put out.

Aren't you glad to see us?

Yes, of course I am.

Oh, darling.

- This is my wife, Teresa.

- How do you do?

Old friends of mine, darling -

Mr. And Mrs. Fairweather.

- How are you? How very nice to meet you.

- And Cecil Yorke.

- Jacqueline.

- Cecil has a divine place near here.

Oh! But nothing like this castle of yours.

- Well -

- Treasure? Where are you, treasure?

Where has the little monster gone?

You know, Marion had a grudge

against you for a long time, old chap.

Thanks to Cecil,

we can at last meet your wife.

Oh, she is gorgeous.

Oh, dear me, all these chickens.

Come here, my darling.

Come and say "How do you do?"

Must have cost you a pretty penny.

Oh. Dear lady,

please forgive this intrusion.

But it was the only way we could get

to meet you and to congratulate you.

My poor child, keeping you

cloistered up here in this -

- Oh, Philip, listen.

- Yes?

Of course! Pardon me a moment.

Oh. Thank you.

Have you got the - Is the boot open?

You're getting to be a big boy now,

aren't you, Nicholas?

Horace.

You know, we mustn't spoil

this lovely kite.

Must we, my little Horace?

Or else when we want it to fly,

it won't work.

Will it?

Ah.

Well -

Well, it's rather late,

but please accept this little offering.

And -

Let me kiss you and wish you every

happiness with this old devil George...

because, by Jove, you deserve it!

James, bring the drinks in.

Well, you see, Marion thought

that a really useful present like this -

Just let me show you.

Ah. Here we are. Now - Ah.

You hold that for a moment.

There now.

Now, here's the book of instructions.

Uh -

Uh, yes. Well, you'd better look at that.

Um - Now, here -
