out for myself.
I think that's marvelous.
Where do you begin?
I don't know. May go on to
Berlin. Like to come with me?
Berlin? Yes, I'd like to,
but I don't think I can.
Later.
Yes, sir.
I was almost sure when I
got your letter, Christopher.
Now that I see you,
I am sure.
Of what are you
going to die?
Whatever made you think
I was going to die?
Your letter of resignation sounded
more like a last will and testament.
All right then.
You see, the germs you find in China
are almost as unclassified as the people.
They don't even know the name
of the ones I've collected.
But they do know
what they're doing to me.
By "they" I suppose
you mean the doctors?
Yes, I've been
to enough of them.
Is that why they sent you
to Switzerland?
Yes, they thought it would
prolong things a little.
There's nothing much to say,
except you've done good work.
stories buried in the files.
Yellowing files, Chris.
Don't forget the adjective.
Thanks for not being
sympathetic.
How about the famous
Cicely Tyler?
I haven't told her.
Don't you think
you'd better?
One last wifely gesture
wouldn't do her any harm.
I had a cable from her
this morning.
She wants me to meet her
in Saint Anton in a month.
Saint Anton?
Yes. We spent several weeks
Suppose she guesses
when she sees you?
I'm a pretty good
actor myself.
Aren't you being a little on the
heroic side? No. No. It's not heroism.
It's just that we've both
known the best of each other.
And I want it to end
with that still true.
I wonder if you have any idea how rarely
one finds a couple like you and Cicely.
Not just one of you having the
courage to live alone, but both of you.
Most of the time,
there hasn't been much choice.
Oh, one of you could have got
frightened and hung onto the other's neck
and drowned both of you
in a sea of matrimonial bliss.
That's what
usually happens.
It's amazing the things
people ask of love.
They expect it to protect them,
keep them from being bored,
make them work harder.
In fact, they want
everything except love.
I should be talking
of love at my age.
But I've seen it so seldom that when I do,
I like to stop and warm my hands before it.
I met her.
There was a look in her eyes when
she spoke of you. I'm sorry, Chris.
What you and Cicely have
together or apart doesn't die out.
Now, let's order a bottle of wine and
discuss the only proper topic for you and me,
the newspaper business.
All right. On one condition, that
you let me buy the bottle of wine.
You know, it was my ambition
when I was a cub reporter
to know the managing editor well enough
to take him out and buy him a drink.
Waiter.
How are you, Gottlieb?
Fine.
Thank you.
Mrs. Tyler, it's good to have
you back again. We missed you.
Otto, it's so nice to be here.
Is Mr. Tyler in?
Yes, in his room. Yes.
Have you got a room for me?
Yes, as you requested in
your telegram. Thank you.
Please.
What number's
Mr. Tyler's room?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Come in.
Hello, Cicely.
Hello, Chris.
You didn't let me know
what time you'd get here,
or I'd have been downstairs
to meet you.
I motored up, you know.
You're looking marvelously.
Thank you.
How's Kit?
Oh, he's fine.
He's staying at Tommy's ranch
in California.
Well, that ought to be
fun for him.
Chris, you look
terribly tired.
Well, I've been working
rather hard.
On your book?
Yes.
How's it coming?
Oh, it's beginning
to shape up.
Yes? Tell me about it.
Well, it's the novel
Well, won't you sit down? I'll get
you some tea, something to drink.
No, thank you.
In your last letter, you
asked me if I wanted a divorce.
Naturally, you can't
go on like this,
being half married,
half not married.
No. I suppose not.
Tell me, Chris, it isn't just because of
your book that you're staying away, is it?
No.
No, I didn't think so,
but I had to make sure.
What is it, Chris?
Well, it's rather
hard to explain.
It's just that one day
I realized that I had
for quite some time.
Things like that
seem to happen.
Well, that seems a fairly
complete explanation.
Why didn't you write me
that in your letter?
It's peaceful here, isn't it?
Yes. I like it much better
out of season.
How's Tommy?
Oh, fine.
Is he still
in love with you?
Yes.
Just before I left, he asked me if
I wouldn't divorce you and marry him.
Do you want to?
Might be a very good thing for you
after the rotten time you had with me.
Chris.
Did you ever hear me say I'd
had a rotten time with you?
Well, we've been happy when
we've been together, of course,
but that's not enough
for a lifetime.
It's enough for me.
Cigarette?
No, thanks.
I've given them up.
Well, there doesn't seem to be much left
to say or much reason for my staying.
Innsbruck in time for dinner.
Oh, must you go now? Well, I thought
perhaps you'd stay here for dinner.
Of course,
if you'd rather not...
Goodbye, Christopher.
Maybe next time we live,
we'll have time for each other.
I'm being rather stupid,
aren't I?
I'm making such a tragedy
of things.
I don't have to go
Couldn't we just forget
everything that's happened
and have a very gay and
amusing time like old friends?
There's so many places here we never
saw, Chris, and I've got the car.
Let's have a real holiday.
First of all,
we'll have dinner.
I know. We'll go to that little place up
the valley where we went the last time.
You remember?
Yes. Yes, I remember.
All right.
Call for me about 7:00.
Thank you, that's right.
By the way, will you give
this to Mrs. Tyler please?
Yes, Herr Tyler.
Shall I send it up to her?
No. Give it to her when
she comes down for dinner.
Goodbye, Otto. Goodbye.
Hope to see you back soon.
Thank you. Bye-bye.
There you are.
Thank you. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Chris. Chris.
What is it, Chris?
Didn't you get my note?
You said you suddenly
found you had to go.
I tried to explain
this afternoon.
Yes. You don't love me
anymore. I can understand that.
But not your
running away from me.
Chris, you never ran away
from anything in your life.
Just that I realized that
it wouldn't work, that's all.
Three days of pretending,
it would make us both unhappy.
You can't even be my friend?
What is it, Chris?
Nothing.
You're hiding
something from me.
It's nothing, I tell you.
Chris, this isn't you talking.
It isn't.
You can't make me believe it.
Not even when you tell me you don't
love me. I'll never believe that.
But, Cicely, I can't explain
anymore. I just want to get away.
We'll have to say goodbye.
Not this way. No.
Oh, Cicely, I can't. I can't.
Chris.
Chris.
In that coat pocket. Tin box.
