The Fallen Idol Page #4

If you like.

This is our kitchenette.

Handy for getting a cup of tea.

It's from Mrs. Baines.

Her aunt's not well.

She won't be back for a day or two.

Do you think it's true?

True? Why, yes. Of course it's true.

She wouldn't say it if | it wasn't. Would she?

Does Mrs. Baines keep secrets?

We don't want to waste | good time cooking.

Got plenty of tins. | What we want's a good spread...

and every man his own drink.

How long does | a telegram take to get to a place?

Depends where it comes from.

I'm going to make a dart of this one.

Move along now, Phile. Move along.

- Do telegrams cost much? | - Oh, don't natter.

Couldn't we eat out here?

We could easily make a... | table out of some of the cases.

- Don't you think? | - Yes. Of course.

- It would be a picnic. | - Oh, must we have a picnic?

- Well, you'd like that, wouldn't you? | - Can I feed Macgregor first?

Of course you can, | while I'm taking out the things.

- Can I come too, Phillipe? | - Show her Macgregor.

Mmm. But won't you need me here?

Oh, I think I can manage.

Mrs. Baines doesn't like Macgregor.

- She doesn't, huh? | - She doesn't like you either.

What do you mean? Phile.

What do you mean she doesn't like me?

She doesn't like anybody really. | But Baines doesn't like her.

- How do you know? | - She won't give him his... freedom.

Did he ask her?

Oh, yes. I heard him. | But I didn't mean to listen.

No, no. I'm - I'm sure you didn't.

- When was this? | - Yesterday after Baines and I came back.

- What did he say, Phile? | - "I want my freedom. "Just like that.

And she went on. Natter, natter. | Always nattering.

Poor Baines. | He did want it so badly.

When she comes back | I'll ask her for my freedom too.

That was a good dart. | Why did you throw it away?

Oh, I can make lots more like that.

- What room is this? | - The guest room.

For very important people.

- Oh. It's very pretty. | - Macgregor lives here.

Supper.

- What's the matter? | - He's gone.

How could he have got out?

She must have killed him.

It's just a bit of bad luck you've got to take.

She never really liked him.

- She said he was vermin. | - Well, tomorrow we'll -

we'll put up a little stone | in the garden...

and we'll write his name on it.

"Macgregor, killed by Mrs. Baines. "

- And the date. | - No, no. No. Not that.

Something like...

"My Macgregor. | Very lovely he was in his life. "

And then the date.

No. We -We'll just have "Macgregor. "

That'll be plenty. | We'll remember.

How about a bite of supper? | Then we'll play a game.

Come on.

Well, sit down,Julie. | Let's - Let's have a drink to happier days.

Let me.

- Hey! | - Hey!

There he is. What is | it? I've caught a fish?

Is it a rabbit or a roly-poly pudding?

Where is he? Where is he? Where is he?

We'll catch him this time. | We'll catch him and kill him.

Puss, puss, puss, puss, | puss, puss, puss, puss.

Thunder and lightning! | Lightning and thunder!

Terrible storm in the jungle now.

I catch - I catch - I catch you.

Oh, what a run.

Where is he? Phile? Bedtime.

- Come along. | - Phillipe.

Think he went along here.

Come on. Come on. | Where are you?

- Phillipe. | - No?

I'm only going because -

because it's not possible to stay.

All day long I've wanted | to talk to you,Julie.

Now's my last chance. | Now we're alone, I just want -

I just want you around always.

- Baines. | - What is it?

- What's the matter? | - I saw -

What frightened you?

I'm - I thought I saw a ghost.

Aw.

The game's gone on too long. | Come on. Upstairs.

Where are they?

Where are they?

Don't lie to me.

I know they're here.

I have been here all the time.

That's not nice, Master Phillipe.

All I want to know is where they are.

I want -

I want to talk to them. | Help me. Help Mrs. Baines.

Master Phillipe, we -we've always | been friends, haven't we?

No.

We were friends, last night.

Do you remember that secret we had? | About them?

We didn't have a secret.

Oh, you know all about them.

You're not such a child | as you pretend to be.

You've got a nasty, wicked mind, | and it ought to be beaten out of you.

Phile? Phile? | Is that you?

Baines!

Look.!

Help.! Help.!

She's in there! | You've got that girl in there!

Now, wait a moment. Listen to me.

I don't want to hear any excuses.

I know all about it. Let me get at her. | I'll tell her a thing or two.!

We can say what | we've got to say to...

...each other downstairs. | Don't make a scene.

Get out of my way! | Don't you tell me what to do!

You're a fine one to dictate to me! | How dare you! Let me go!

I'll put you and her in the gutter | before I'm finished with you!

I'll give you something you'll remember | for the rest of your life!

Will you let me go!

Thought you had me safely out of the way, | didn't you? Hypocrite.!

And you.! You needn't go on | hiding in that room.! I recognized you.!

You needn't think you can come back here | on Monday to your safe littlejob.!

- I'll get you deported out of the country.! | - Quiet.!

For heaven's sake, | don't go on like this.!

If you've no thought of yourself or of me, | at least think of the boy.

Him? When I'm finished with her, | I'll give him what he deserves!

Be quiet!

He'll think twice | before he starts on his...

...sneaking ways, the lying, | beastly little brat!

- Stop, or I'll lose my temper!

Now, you go downstairs.

I'll join you, and we'll -

He pushed her.

Hello, sonny.

What are you up to?

Out a bit late, aren't you, sonny?

What's your name, sonny?

Come here.

Here.

Cold, sonny?

Come here. | Put this on.

How about | a nice, warm cup of tea?

Yes?

You would? Good.

Come on.

Yes?

Well, I'm going to have one anyway.

- Yes? | - And so I arrested her.

Well, Rose, what have you | got to say this time?

Nothing, | except it's not my turn yet.

Same address?

There we are.

- Now, round here. Come on. | - Come here.

Bring him here.

Who is he?

What's all this about?

I found him wandering about.

- Pickin' up kids now, are ya? | - Quiet, Rose.

Where do you live, sonny?

- He won't speak. | - Quite right.

Come on, sonny. | You come over here.

So, what have you been up to, eh? | Playing about, have you?

Come and sit over here. | There you are.

Now, then, what were you doing?

- Walking in your sleep, were you? | - That's all I was doing.

Remember where you live, sonny? Eh?

Come on. Try to think.

Come on, sonny. | There's nothing to be frightened of here.

Nothin' at all.

Shh. Shh.

We just want to help you, see.

You tell us where you live, | and we'll take you home.

Come on, sonny. | Tell us where you live.

See what you can do, Rose.

- Hello, deary. Where do you live? | - Rose, Rose.

- Not like that. | - Not like what?

- Well - | - Here! Not like what?

You know. Just find out where he lives | and tell him we'll take him there.

- Shall I take you home? | - Rose!

Can't you do it without - | without the smile?

Just ask him naturally.

Naturally?

Come along, deary.

Now, you would like to come home | with me now, deary, wouldn't you?
