The Lady Vanishes

Somebody died. Just then.

And another one. Gone. Dead.

God, how awful.

How can you not care?

You of all people should.

We live and then we die.

No-one can escape that.

Not even them.

Ah!

She's going to sing.

The chimpanzees in the zoos

do it...

Oh, not to the beautiful people!

..I know some courageous kangaroos

do it

Let's do it

Let's fall in love...

Julij!

..I know sometimes on the sly

YOU do it.

I'm going to try

and cheer up that poor Freddie.

Can we have another

bottle of champagne, please?

Yes, of course, Miss Carr. And can

you do it quickly, please, Julij?

It's almost time to

change for supper. Our last one.

Oh!

Argh!

Do I need to save Miss Carr?

No, no. Just make sure the bottle of

champagne is here for when she gets out.

Put the bottle on Miss Carr's bill,

won't you, darling?

I've had enough of that.

Yes, ah... thank you very much.

In fact no, I need more.

Considering his behaviour -

utterly putrid. If my so-called...

Why don't you do something about

your wife? She keeps glaring at me.

She's jealous.

To get me

a decent bloody drink...

You're beautiful

and we worship you...

Shut up, Freddie.

For God's sake. Don't!

Oh, lord. One of us ought

to help her up.

Judgement is not a quality

we should encourage.

In our position, we have special

opportunities to influence others.

We must not allow ourselves to

become uneven.

I'm becoming rather

fond of the Reverend and his wife.

Strange he won't let her

talk about their little boy.

And have some water. Oh, stop!

I think we should leave.

Come this way.

I know what you're up to.

Good night. You think you can have

anyone you want.

Diana! Admit it!

You were trying to steal my husband.

I've had enough of this stupid

argument. Someone put her to bed.

Really, Diana. Get off me.

Don't look at me like that.

Dreadful people.

Awful to think they're English.

And you! Don't TOUCH me!

Iris. It's me. Open up.

Yes?

Coming!

What do you mean, you're not leaving?

Don't be ridiculous. I'll help you pack. No.

You can't possibly travel

back on your own. Why not?

Is this because of what

happened last night? No.

Oh, I don't know.

I'm so bored with everyone.

I'm so terribly sorry we bore you.

Not you. Bored with myself.

If I spend a bit of time on my own

getting on with it, it might help.

What about me?

What am I going to do?

You're not bored!

Fine.

Don't be angry with me.

You need us, Iris.

You don't have anyone else.

Now, I'll see you out the front

with your bags packed.

Well, then I should stay

here with you. Absolutely not.

All the English news this morning is full

of some new flu in England. Everyone's dying.

We could stay here until...

You are not going to die.

It's because of that silly old

Diana. I don't care what you say.

God! What an odious man.

I can't believe you actually

felt sorry for him.

How do you expect us to have any fun

if we're leaving you behind?

You know it's you I love.

Me, or my money?

You really are staying.

I simply cannot bear a single

day without you so...

Odette! Go home.

Iris, I... Goodbye.

Come on, Iris, you've got to come.

Charlie, put me down. Stop it.

Odette. In you go!

Let's drive, go, go, go!

Iris! Iris!

Stop it, now go home.

Bye! Bye!

Leave early?

I have matters to attend to.

But I can't suddenly arrive

home two days early.

Well, that's not my problem.

SLAP!

Ah! Don't you ever do that again!

You promised me!

I made no such promise.

Oh!

Oh, ah!

Oh, ah!

This is just an adventure.

That's all.

Oh, apparently there has been

rain in England.

Goody. She's quite dedicated

to our rose garden.

We may need to get back to it.

That man's face seems very

familiar to me.

There is definitely something

mysterious going on.

A honeymoon?

I wonder

if they're really married.

Do you?

Isn't it simpler to believe we are

all of us what we assume to be?

I think I'll take a stroll

down to the village

for a chat with my friends.

If you'll excuse me.

How can he talk to them

if he doesn't know their language?

Oh, he makes them understand.

Sympathy and common humanity.

Oh!

Ah!

Excuse me!

You there!

Where is the Hotel Cigoc?

Cigoc. Hotel?

Cigoc. The Hotel Cigoc.

I am lost. Do you understand?

Do you understand English?

Oh, for God's sake.

What is wrong with you people?

English. I speak English.

Just a moment.

Damn it!

I'm sorry we drove your husband

away by talking scandal.

I know he disapproves but I'm

fascinated by the honeymooners.

I do wonder why they have not

bothered to speak to any one of us?

Because they're lying.

I thought they'd all left.

I know I shouldn't judge others,

but I can't understand how

anyone can tell a lie.

I mean people like us.

You're rather young to be

travelling without friends.

Your family will be

worried about you.

I have none.

No family at all?

No, and no relatives.

Aren't I lucky?

She could do with

a lesson in manners.

She could do with a bit

more than that.

Yes.

Miss Carr?

Please, can I help?

I'm fine.

It's just a couple of scratches.

Where did you go?

For a walk but I got lost.

I'm sure I heard gunshots

and shouting.

There are bad people

in the mountains.

You should have taken a guide.

No. No.

I was once told that because I

have this square on my palm...

do you see it?

It means that

I live in a protected area.

That I'll always be safe.

Thank you.

Quiet tonight.

You must get tired of all that

horrible rabble.

It is quiet. But I happen to miss my

friends.

Would you like to join our party

for the return journey to London?

We're going back to our little son.

May I?

Please.

He's very beautiful, I know.

Hard to think he came from us!

If you'll excuse me.

Ah, dankeschon.

Would you send some supper up to my

room? Yes, of course, madame.

And would you prepare my bill for me?

I'd like to leave tomorrow.

Oh, I thought you were staying on

with us for... I've changed my mind.

Would you book me a seat on the

afternoon express? Yes, of course.

Thank you.

You have a telegram for me?

Oh, yes.

The concierge from the Cigoc Hotel

booked it for me.

As I said, there is

nothing in the name of Iris Carr.

Fine. I'll buy another.

I'm sorry, madame,

there are no more reserved seats

left on the afternoon express.

What?

The reserved class is fully booked.

Well, surely you can find

a seat for me.

You are welcome to wait and see

if there are cancellations.

There is still

time before the train.

I have to get on that train.

I don't care how much it costs.

I cannot sell you a seat

when there are no seats to sell.

Please.

I need to get back to London.

There is a seat, but...

I'll take it.

Ah!

Oh!

Somebody hit me on the head.

Oh, God! Oh, I'm stranded!

I have no money and no passport.

The sun. You fall on ground.

Sunstroke.

No. They stole my money.

I have bag.

I'm too late!

Thank you!

Excuse me.

I have a ticket, for this seat.

Would you mind terribly - the window?
