00:04:09Do you have a match?

00:04:11No!

00:04:12No, no, no, I'm so sorry, I don't smoke.

00:04:15No,

00:04:19I don't know what you are.

00:04:35I don't know what you are.

00:04:36Ah, Wilbur, how nice to see you. Come in.

00:05:03Hope you had no trouble getting here.

00:05:04No, no, no trouble at all.

00:05:06Let me take your coat.

00:05:08Thank you. It's just a little cold.

00:05:23Go on in.

00:05:31Ah!

00:05:34I didn't know you had a cat.

00:05:41Oh, yes, yes.

00:05:42Sit down. He's perfectly all right. He won't bite you.

00:05:46I'm not so sure.

00:05:47No, as a matter of fact, you ought to be grateful to Sugar.

00:05:53If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't be interested in publishing your book.

00:05:57Then you are going to publish it.

00:05:59Oh, wait a minute. Just a moment.

00:06:01I said interested.

00:06:03As a matter of fact, I'm not convinced that the public is ready for the story yet.

00:06:07I've said that about my book on flying saucers. Now everyone believes it. And my theory regarding the pyramids.

00:06:12Do you believe this sort of thing?

00:06:17I believe everything I write.

00:06:18Everything.

00:06:25Let us suppose, just for a moment, to what you say is right.

00:06:29How are you going to convince the people that what you're writing about is true?

00:06:34For instance, the Malkin story.

00:06:37There could be dozens of explanations as to what really happened.

00:06:41I had access to the police statements and the doctor's report on the bodies.

00:06:45Believe me, I do know what happened.

00:06:47I know.

00:06:52I know.

00:07:22How are you today, Miss Malkin?

00:07:24Feeling stronger, I hope?

00:07:26Oh, battling on, you know.

00:07:28It takes more than a stroke to put me out of action.

00:07:31I'm sure it does.

00:07:33Now, here are two copies of the new will you ask me to prepare.

00:07:37Now, what I would like to do is to go through them both with you.

00:07:40Janet, what are you doing?

00:07:42I've just finished the ironing, and I thought it would be all right if I...

00:07:45It is most certainly not all right.

00:07:47Mr. Wallace and I have an important matter which we wish to discuss in private.

00:07:51You must find something else to do.

00:07:53Yes, Miss Malkin.

00:07:54Have you fed the cats yet?

00:07:57No, Miss Malkin.

00:07:58Well, please do so.

00:08:00Yes, Miss Malkin.

00:08:01Meow, meow.

00:08:02And shut the door behind you.

00:08:05Meow, meow.

00:08:07Not feeding, my precious darling.

00:08:11That girl will be the death of me one of these days.

00:08:14I'm quite convinced of it.

00:08:15Meow.

00:08:16Meow.

00:08:45Do you really wish to leave your bequeath to your nephew, as it stands, Miss Malkin?

00:08:51In your original will, he was a sole heir.

00:08:54Quite sure.

00:08:55Michael has squandered a considerable amount of my money already.

00:08:59And I have received remarkably little gratitude from him in return.

00:09:04No, Mr. Wallace.

00:09:06My money must go to the only ones who have been loyal to me all these years.

00:09:11To my own little family.

00:09:13Give me that.

00:09:25Now, if you would be good enough to sign these both here and here.

00:09:31You will keep one copy for yourself, and I will take the other.

00:09:36And I hope you'll feel better soon, Miss Malkin.

00:09:46The good Lord will see to that soon enough.

00:09:52Should you think of changing your mind about your nephew?

00:09:56I won't be changing my mind again, Mr. Wallace.

00:09:59You can be sure of that.

00:10:02My only regret is that I won't be here to see his face when you read the will.

00:10:09You can't stay, I envy you your job with all those cats.

00:10:28It'll give me the creeps.

00:10:29We have a mutual understanding.

00:10:31I scratch their backs, and they don't scratch mine.

00:10:34Mr. Wallace!

00:10:36Excuse me.

00:10:39Mr. Wallace!

00:10:43Yes, Miss Malkin.

00:10:44Would you put this in the safe for me?

00:10:47I'd rather you did it than the girl.

00:10:49Of course.

00:10:49Over there, behind that picture.

00:11:00Huh?

00:11:04Yes, I shall need the combination.

00:11:06Ah, yes, I have it right here in my diary.

00:11:13Ah, yes, here we are.

00:11:15Oh, man.

00:11:16Three, sir.

00:11:19What's the matter?

00:11:40Has that old witch been upsetting you again?

00:11:43Brace yourself for a shrunk.

00:11:44It's your aunt's will.

00:11:48Her new will.

00:11:51I hope she's not forgotten to include her devoted nephew.

00:11:55No, no, she hasn't forgotten.

00:12:04Ah, here we are.

00:12:05To my sister's son, Michael,

00:12:09whose kindness to me has always been conspicuous.

00:12:12By its absence,

00:12:14I bequeath the cost of one very good dinner

00:12:16at a fashionable restaurant

00:12:18because it will probably

00:12:21be the last you can now afford.

00:12:24and that's all.

00:12:30The cats get everything.

00:12:33Does anyone know you have this work?

00:12:35I took it from my lawyer's briefcase

00:12:36when he wasn't looking.

00:12:39So,

00:12:40auntie has made out a new will.

00:12:43But,

00:12:43if anything

00:12:44has to happen to it,

00:12:47my financial worries would be

00:12:49over.

00:12:50There's another copy

00:12:51in the safe.

00:12:54But you know the combination.

00:12:56No, I don't.

00:12:58But I know where she keeps it.

00:13:03Then how would you like

00:13:04to be married to a man

00:13:05who is

00:13:06very,

00:13:07very

00:13:08rich?

00:15:58Don't!

00:15:59Give me the police.

00:16:08No.

00:16:10No, don't.

00:16:13I was hoping I wouldn't have to.

00:16:16This was Michael's plan.

00:16:28No, don't.

00:16:58No, don't.
