Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Page #3

---

Oh, yes.

- Yes. Yes.

- You'll be all right in the morning.

Wait!

Wait.

My ankle.

Don't you think you ought

to look at that?

No.

No, your ankle's all right.

But I'll tell you one thing.

You wear your garter too tight.

- That stops the circulation. That's bad.

- There, you see?

You did find something.

You are my doctor, aren't you?

I ought to pay your fee, oughtn't I?

I haven't presented you with a bill yet.

How about this to begin with?

Not that it's enough.

It's fine. It's fine.

It's much more than most people pay.

It doesn't seem near enough to me.

Harry, listen...

Oh, sorry.

Come along, will you?

It's getting late.

Well...

But...

But you aren't really going

just because he says?

No, no, no.

But I have to go now.

But look here.

Don't you understand?

I ain't no...

I ain't no...

No, I know you're not.

You're a girl with her heart...

...just where it ought to be.

Maybe a little too generous.

Because you're a nice, pretty girl,

next time be more careful...

...about the company you pick, huh?

Well, but...

But you are here, ain't you?

Yes, but I shouldn't be.

And if you really knew me,

you'd know I don't wanna be.

Well, I...

I picks only them

as wants my company.

- I'm sorry. It was my fault.

- What you sorry about?

I am not.

Then let's just say

that we were foolish...

...and next time we'll drink

to one another's health.

I suppose it was all in fun

when you kissed me.

Yes.

It wasn't all in fun then.

I know that.

Well, goodbye and good luck.

Come on, John. Don't be stuffy.

After all, the lady wasn't injured,

nor was anyone else.

I imagine she might be a tempting

morsel in an off moment.

- What do you mean, "off moment"?

- Yours, according to your theory.

I imagine what I just witnessed...

...was the momentary triumph of the evil

in your soul over the good, huh? Correct?

Yes, yes. I don't think it was a triumph,

but it was an attack.

But one which would have been repulsed

even without your help, John.

Wouldn't you run less risk if you

confined your experiments to the lab?

That's where you'll find me

from tonight on...

...until I get what I'm looking for.

I'm worried, John.

- He ought to have let us know.

- He'll be along.

Maybe it's all for the best, Dr. Jekyll.

That wasn't my son in there.

It was as if the evil one

had crept into his heart.

My poor Sam.

- Burke, take Mrs. Higgins home.

- Yes, sir.

- I'll walk.

- Oh, thank you, Dr. Jekyll.

- Thank you.

- Good night, Mrs. Higgins.

Good night, doctor. Good night.

- Hello, Dr. Jekyll. How are you?

- Good evening, Mr. Weller.

Just in time, sir.

Just locking up.

Wait half a moment until I fix

this thing over here...

...I'll walk up to the east gate with you.

Wonderful nights we're having, sir.

And don't you believe about

this here comet...

...and the "world coming to an end"

business.

If you ask me,

it don't amount to a row of beans.

Newspaper talk, that's what I calls it.

Don't you believe it.

Step down to Lloyd's and take out an

insurance policy and it won't cost you...

...more than it did last week when

there was no talk of a comet...

...or the world running into one.

Those fellows know what they're talking

about, sir. You take that from me.

Mr. Weller, here's a point.

If you had a balloon that carried a man

to Mars and the pilot you picked...

...suddenly disappeared, would you

get in the balloon yourself and cast off?

A balloon?

Well, that's a good one, sir.

I think you got me there.

I don't know though. If I had a balloon

that would take me there...

...and back, mind you, I don't know

that I wouldn't have a go at it.

Might get me away

from me mother-in-law for a while.

How's that for an answer, Dr. Jekyll?

Fair enough, Mr. Weller. Fair enough.

Yes?

What?

Oh.

Oh, no.

Can this be evil?

Dr. Jekyll.

Dr. Jekyll?

- What's happening, sir? Are you all right?

- What is it? What do you want?

Is that you, Dr. Jekyll?

Now, wait a minute.

Wait a minute, Poole.

Dr. Jekyll, who is that in there?

Dr. Jekyll, answer me, sir.

Yes, Poole?

I'm sorry, sir, but I...

I heard an odd noise and a strange voice.

I thought something was happening, sir.

No, no, no. It's quite all right, Poole.

There was someone here.

A friend of mine.

A Mr. Hyde.

I let him out the back door.

Oh, I see, sir. Very good, sir.

Miss Beatrix is here, sir.

I showed her into

the consulting room, sir.

I hope I did right, sir.

Yes, yes, that was quite right, Poole.

Tell Miss Beatrix

I'll be there immediately.

Very good, sir.

Harry.

What are you doing here, Bea?

- Oh, Harry, then you're not...

- Not what?

Oh, I don't know.

I had the strangest feeling.

- I thought...

- Yes? You thought?

That you were going away...

...without ever seeing me again.

Well, why would I do that, Bea?

- I love you. Why...

- Oh, I know.

But I lost you for a moment, Harry.

- I was afraid.

- But you're not afraid now?

Of course not.

Well, you see that everything's

all right...

...nothing has happened,

that I'm the same as I ever was?

Of course.

- It must have been a dream.

- Yes, yes, a dream.

You're not angry with me?

Angry?

Oh, I don't want you to leave me. Ever.

Oh, darling.

I love you so much.

- Please don't send me away.

- No.

Yes, Father?

It's a good thing I was worried

about your behavior tonight.

I couldn't sleep myself.

Sir Charles, I know it's strange to find

Beatrix here but I want you to believe...

All I can believe is that your ideas

are not normal, Jekyll, not fit...

Sir Charles, I asked Beatrix

to come here tonight because...

No, Harry.

Father, I know my being here is difficult

to understand, but I'm not ashamed.

Then, my dear, I shall be for you,

because I do understand.

We leave for the Continent

tomorrow on the boat train.

Father, please.

Oh, come, Sir Charles. After all,

you could eliminate all this difficulty...

...if you'd set an early date

for our marriage.

You don't understand. We're very much

in love. We wanna be together.

- We don't wanna wait any longer.

- Please, Father.

In view of what's happened,

the engagement should be broken off.

However, I'll be lenient. We shall see you

on our return. Come, my dear.

Father, I've never

disobeyed you in my life.

But, Harry,

if you don't want me to leave...

...I'll refuse.

- Beatrix.

- I mean it, Father.

I don't want you to go, Bea...

...and I can't agree with

your father's decision, but I know...

...he's thinking of your happiness.

I can't argue against that...

...and I can't ask you to.

- That's highly commendable, Harry.

Will you see us off at the train?

Better have two engines.

I might try to hold it back.

Try. Try anyway.

A glass of sherry wine, sir?

No. No, thanks.

Well, would you consider

a letter from Monte Carlo, sir?

- I'll take the sherry wine too.

- Yes, sir.

Miss Beatrix should be returning home

soon now, shouldn't she?

Yes. Yes, Poole.

Hobson was telling me
