know what's good for you?

But I... I feel

her presence.

She's not

two paces behind.

Please, be quiet!

How can I be quiet

When I know

the devil's abroad?

The people in the street

should be notified.

I should cry out

the truth.

But you won't!

I will! I will!

It is my duty regardless

of consequences.

I'll shout out a warning

from the housetops

So all may know

and hear the truth.

It is my duty.

You, sir...

You, sir, I have

something to tell you.

Never mind...

My friend had

one drink too many.

If you don't

be quiet now,

I'll leave you

right here.

Let go of me, sir.

I must speak.

The devil's abroad!

Murder has

been committed!

Murder! Murder!

Murder! Murder!

I tell you,

the devil is beside me.

True, you cannot

see her nor hear her,

But nevertheless

she's at my side.

You wish proof?

I'll give it to you.

A stone's throw

from here is the room.

In that room is

a dead woman.

She was murdered!

Man:
been a murder,

he says, a woman!

It's true, and I'd be glad

to lead you to the victim.

Man:
who murdered her?

Why, the devil,

of course,

I was her instrument.

I struck the blow!

The devil was

responsible!

The devil!

I myself struck

the blow,

But the devil

was responsible!

Give us a half-And-Half.

Same here.

Billy Johnson had 5 bob.

I'd have had a bet

on it meself

But me missis

wouldn't have it.

How about you, pal? Did you

have anything on the winner?

What winner?

Blimey, where have

you been?

Haven't you heard that

the cracker won the national?

No-Oh, yes, yes.

Some lucky blighters

was in on it.

I know one woman,

she had a ticket on...

Did you see him?

I was just trying to make a

little polite conversation.

Some blokes can't stand to see

anyone else having any luck.

You forgot this,

Mr. West.

Thank you.

First time I've known you

to walk away from a drink.

You looking

for somebody, ducky?

Johnny! Johnny!

Johnny, I'm so glad

to see you.

Welcome home.

I missed you so,

Johnny.

They let me off easy.

How have you been

getting along, Johnny?

Icy, don't ever get mixed up

with a Chinese goddess.

No, Johnny.

That's the worst thing

that can happen...

The very worst.

Johnny, you're not

in trouble again?

No, I'm not in trouble.

Not anymore.

Found out just in time.

Found out what?

Oh, that things don't

just happen to us,

That we can do

something about them.

The fault lies not

in our stars.

It lies in ourselves.

Yes, some people have to go to

prison to be free, you know it?

I even had to win

a sweepstake ticket.

Sweepstake ticket?

Johnny, do you

mean it?

Yes, that's it.

The winning ticket.

What did they win?

No, Johnny!

Oh, Johnny,

For a minute there

you had me believing it.

So help me, you had.

I thought it was real.
