Now sit down and relax, Bill Potter. 245 00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:49,560 Oh, yes. Oh, here's your cup. 246 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:50,560 Thank you. 247 00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:53,560 Charles, what's in that cup? 248 00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:54,560 Coffee. 249 00:13:54,560 --> 00:14:00,560 Charles, I'm sure that even in the atomic age, coffee does not come in the form of white crystals. 250 00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:04,560 Oh, yes, yes, yes. I'd finished my coffee and I was doing some other things then. 251 00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:06,560 Charles, what is it? 252 00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:08,560 Thyrochlorite. You see, at the moment I'm testing... 253 00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:09,560 Charles! 254 00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:10,560 What? 255 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:12,560 Why, that's deadly poison. 256 00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:15,560 So it is. You see, the thiocene radical follows its tendency to... 257 00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:21,560 Oh, Charles, I wish you wouldn't mix things up in the cups and dishes that way. It's dangerous. 258 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,560 Dangerous? 259 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,560 Suppose you got the cups mixed up. Suppose you'd... 260 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:31,560 Oh, this could happen, Slaughter. Half the stuff we use in chemistry is dangerous if you go to drink it, but who's going to do that? 261 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:37,560 It's like, well, like eating soap. You wash your hands with it every day, but who'd think of eating it? 262 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,560 Well, now you take that cup right back out to the laboratory and empty it and wash it out. 263 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,560 Well, all right. 264 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:48,560 Charles! 265 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:49,560 Yes? 266 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,560 I was wondering, since it's our anniversary... 267 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:52,560 Yes? 268 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,560 Let's go out to dinner and celebrate. 269 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,560 Why, yes. Yes, I think that's a splendid idea. 270 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,560 Oh, my goodness. 271 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,560 What? 272 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,560 I completely forgot. My brother's coming to see us today. 273 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,560 Your brother? 274 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:06,560 Well, my half-brother. 275 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,560 Charles, I didn't know you had a brother. 276 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:13,560 Oh, didn't you? Well, you see, he's been in the army for almost five years. He just got back a short time ago. 277 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,560 I forgot why yesterday, saying he's passing through town and would like to see me. So I thought naturally... 278 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,560 Does he know you're married? 279 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,560 Why, I suppose... Well, I suppose he doesn't. 280 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,560 As a matter of fact, we've never been very close. Neither of us much letter writing, you know, so on. 281 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,560 But he's the only relative I've got. 282 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,560 At all, the sympathy I've wasted on you because I thought you were an offer to something. 283 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,560 I was, practically. 284 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,560 When's he coming? 285 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,560 Why, this afternoon, sometime, I think. 286 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,560 Well, I guess there's your answer. I am sorry, my dear. 287 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,560 Why, Charles, that's all right. Maybe your brother would like to go out and celebrate with us. 288 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:47,560 Well, I... 289 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,560 Hello there. 290 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:50,560 Hello, Charlie. 291 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,560 Come in, come in. I want you to meet my wife. 292 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,560 Laura, this is my brother, Elmer. 293 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,560 There was no doubt that it was Elmer. There was no doubt but what he recognized me. 294 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,560 And there was no doubt in my mind as to how he intended to play his hand this time either. 295 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:13,560 For he gave no public sign of recognition, but simply looked straight at me. 296 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,560 And smiled. And smiled. And smiled. 297 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,560 So, you've gone into private practice, Elmer. Criminalized, I suppose. 298 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,560 Mm-hmm. Well, there's no appreciation in this country of men who hold public office. Financially, at least. 299 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,560 Ah, Elmer. You always did have your eye on the dollar, didn't you? 300 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,560 Well, what about your racket, Charlie? What have you been up to? 301 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,560 Oh, just puttering around here in my laboratory. 302 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:36,560 You mean right here at home? 303 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,560 Oh, of course. Oh, I guess that's new since you were here last. 304 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,560 Well, there's a lot that's new since I was here last. 305 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,560 Yeah, she's right in there. Right through those doors. 306 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:50,560 Yeah. Isn't that sort of a nuisance for a wife, or isn't it? 307 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,560 Not in the least. Why should it be? 308 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,560 Oh, now, Laura, don't try to cover up my feelings. 309 00:16:54,560 --> 00:17:00,560 Just before you came, she was scolding me for carrying thioclorate around in the family coffee cups. 310 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,560 Well, now, isn't that interesting? Isn't that a coincidence? 311 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,560 Why? 312 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,560 Well, I was just thinking what a fine setup for a murder. 313 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,560 Somebody poisoned the chemist in his own laboratory. It looks just like an accident. 314 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:13,560 You're right. 315 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,560 You'll find that Elmer has a morbid mind, my dear. 316 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,560 He used to try people for murder back in Illinois. 317 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,560 I tried the beauties, too. 318 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,560 Well, I've got to get along. Sorry I can't accept your invitation for the night. 319 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,560 Well, but you are staying over for a few days, aren't you? 320 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,560 Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I'll see you again. 321 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:30,560 Well, good. 322 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,560 Oh, don't bother to come to the door with me, Charlie. I know you want to get back to work. 323 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:35,560 Well, I'll try to... 324 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,560 You'll have to trap Laura, will you? Give her a little chance to get acquainted. 325 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:40,560 Why, yes, of course. 326 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,560 Well, call us, Elmer. Don't forget. 327 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,560 Oh, you can depend on it, Charlie. 328 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,560 Well, well, well. Little Laura with you. 329 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,560 What do you want? 330 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,560 Oh, you think old Charlie would say, given you? 331 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,560 I asked you a question. 332 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,560 Well, I suppose he'd go on loving you in his own peculiar fashion. 333 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,560 Never be quite the same, though, would it? There'd always be that little gnawing down, huh? 334 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,560 I'm afraid things would be kind of under strain around here, Laura. 335 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,560 You do have a price, I suppose. 336 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,560 Am I? By the way, why are you so eager to pay it this time? 337 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:25,560 I'm happy here. I'm at peace with myself and the world. I don't want anything to... to change. 338 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,560 No other reason? 339 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,560 What other reason would there be? 340 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:34,560 I suppose all this property would go to you in the event of another little accident, huh? 341 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,560 You don't really believe that. 342 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:43,560 The motive and the means. Money and poison. 343 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,560 How much, Elmer? 344 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,560 Oh, no, no, no, no. You've got me wrong, Laura. I don't want money. 345 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,560 When did that happen? 346 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:55,560 Does it ever occur to you that I might simply be interested in my brother's welfare? 347 00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:01,560 No. All that has occurred to me so far is to wonder why I had to pick the one man in the world who is related to you. 348 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,560 You want to hear my proposition? 349 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,560 I'm waiting. 350 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:12,560 The motive and the means. Well, there's always the means for an intelligent person such as you, Laura, but if we took away the motive... 351 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:13,560 The motive? 352 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,560 The money. The will.
