and a plain salad. That'll be fine. Thank you. Forgot the mustard. That's that, I guess. Fine impression we're making. Tony, how could you make such a mistake? You knew it was for tomorrow night. Yeah, I guess it wasn't such a hot idea. You mean you did it on purpose? Tony, that's dreadful. How could you do such a thing? I didn't want to bring them down here at all, but you insisted. If they have to meet you, I want them to meet you as you are. Not on some trumped-up evening with everybody acting unnaturally. There's nothing unnatural in wanting them to like us. If they don't like you the way you are, too bad. It doesn't make any difference to me what they think. If you'd just left things alone, everything would have been all right. But, no, you had to go and get funny and spoil everything. It was a pretty stupid idea, I know. But, Alice, I'm just trying to be honest about this thing. I brought my family down here just as they are, stuffed shirts and all. I'm not trying to put on an act with them. Why should you? I'm trying to be honest, too. Can't you understand? I've got to get their approval. I'm not going to stand for your mother looking at me as if I were a thief. What do you think I am, a goop? Start the eggs, Rheba. Have you any hobbies, Mrs. Kirby? Well, as a matter of fact, I have. I'm a student of occultism. -What's that? -That's spiritualism, dear. Spiritualism? Why, Mrs. Kirby, I'm surprised. -Everybody knows spiritualism is a fake. -I beg your pardon? Now, Penny. You mustn't criticize other people's hobbies. -You got one or two of your own, you know. -Yes, but not silly ones. The perfect hobby should improve the body as well as the mind. The perfect hobby should improve the body as well as the mind. The Romans were great people. Why? What was their hobby? Wrestling. In wrestling you must think quick with the mind and act quick with the body. Yeah. I agree with you. When I was young, I was pretty good at it. -But, unfortunately, as one grows older-- -Foolishness. Once a wrestler, you never forget. I have not done it for six years, but I forget nothing. Look. What's happening in here? Sit down, Mr. Kirby. -Where are my glasses? -Here they are. Mr. Kirby, they're broken. I am sorry, but when you wrestle again, Mr. Kirby, you will of course... ...not wear your glasses. -I do not intend to wrestle again, sir. -That was very silly, Kolenkhov. I'm sorry you did that. I'm sorry, Mr. Kirby. If you don't mind, I think we better be going. -That's the best idea I've heard yet. -Please don't go. You're absolutely right, Mrs. Kirby. I think you should go. The whole thing was a mistake. I'm terribly sorry for everything. Alice, let me stay. I want to talk to you. I'd rather you didn't. There's nothing to talk about. -Good night, Mrs. Kirby. -Good night. Good night, Mr. Kirby. I hope you didn't get hurt. No. It's a pleasure to have met all of you. -Tony, come on. -Alice, I-- -Will I see you tomorrow? -I don't know. -But I-- -Good night, Tony. Good night. -Stay right where you are, everybody. -For heaven's sake. What's this all about? -Which one is it? -That one over there. Who? Me? What do you mean? -Look here. We don't belong in this house. -Keep your mouth shut, you. What's your name? Ed Carmichael, and I haven't done anything. See here. This seems very high-handed. -What's it all about? -Police Department. J-men. -G-men, Penny. -Ed, what have you done? Nothing. I told you somebody was following me. But these people don't belong here. Please let them go. Don't let anybody out that door. This is outrageous. Do you realize who I am? -What's your name? -Beton Batopevitch Kolenkhov. -Where are you from? -Omsk. -Where? -Omsk. -These stairs lead to the cellar? -Yes, they do. Look out, Chief. -What do you call this? -It's called the New Monster. Oh, playing boogieman, huh? Yeah. Get over there. ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Особенности национальной охоты на английском - текст Красные очки на английском - текст Июльский дождь на английском - текст Хоттабыч на английском - текст Приключения Бакару Банзая в восьмом измерении на английском |
