Night Watch1973

Appleby:
How nicely you've done the house. Did you know this was three rooms when I was a child? Beautiful, quite beautiful. I do love Indian art. Erotic, violent... your inspiration for this whole scheme, I assume. So charming. Oh... will you be away long?

Ellen Wheeler:
At the moment, that seems to depend on... you Mr. Appleby.

Appleby:
Oh, Mrs. Wheeler... Inspector Walker wouldn't believe me either. But I do admire you. How many "abandoned wives", or cockhols for that matter, would have had your courage to pull off what you did? I myself, did nothing.

Ellen Wheeler:
It's a great favor to ask you, but since you are so fond of this house...

Appleby:
Yes?

Ellen Wheeler:
Would it be possible for you to take care of it while I'm away?

Appleby:
[flattered] Well... I don't know what to say.

Ellen Wheeler:
The garden too of course. Here are the keys.

Appleby:
[takes the keys] It will be a pleasure. I'll see that nothing is disturbed.

Ellen Wheeler:
Thank you, Mr. Appleby.

Appleby:
No... thank you, Mrs. Wheeler.
