Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.68,0:01:05.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I'm very nervous fellow, you know.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.58,0:01:37.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know I once made the\Nerror of putting suspense

Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.26,0:01:43.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I did a picture called Saboteur, Sabotage,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.48,0:01:51.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I built up the time element\Nof when the bomb was
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.18,0:01:54.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to go off and I even went\Npast the time when the bomb

Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.80,0:02:15.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I think one of the marks of your films
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.68,0:02:19.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the wry touches of humor\Nthat you inject to relieve the--

Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.29,0:02:28.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which reminds me of a story, I think it
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.08,0:02:30.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was a famous comedian, Harry Tate,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.92,0:02:35.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,English comedian died,\Nand was being buried.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.10,0:02:38.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At the graveside were\Nall his fellow comedians,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.100,0:02:43.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,including one very old\Nman named Charles Coburn.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.76,0:02:47.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A rather brash young\Ncomedian, just as the coffin
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.45,0:02:50.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was being lowered into the\Ngrave, leaned over to him
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.75,0:02:53.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and said, how old are you Charlie?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.68,0:02:57.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this old, old comedian\Nsaid, oh, he said, I'm 89.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.96,0:03:00.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The young one said, hardly\Nseems worthwhile going home,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.82,0:03:02.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,does it?

Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.62,0:03:07.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think the British have a sense of humor,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.95,0:03:10.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,especially about the macabre.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.24,0:03:14.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think a lot of people, you\Nknow, object to playing around

Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.46,0:03:19.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But actually I don't think\Nit really matters, you know,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.86,0:03:23.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and sometimes people can't\Nhelp, especially certain types
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.62,0:03:26.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of English people, can't\Nhelp but make a joke.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.26,0:03:29.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Whether it's for their own relief or what.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.18,0:03:33.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I remember at a fairground\Nonce outside London
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.31,0:03:37.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there was a sideshow going\Non in a tent where a man

Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.41,0:03:44.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and there were two women,\Nblousy sort of women
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.17,0:03:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the back of the tent,\Nwatching this scene
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.00,0:03:51.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with fascination but with\Nclenched teeth and horror.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.52,0:03:53.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But one of them couldn't help make a joke,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.82,0:03:55.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,she had to call out, she said,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.60,0:03:57.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don't you want any bread with it?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.74,0:04:00.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Colin laughing)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.37,0:04:02.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- [Colin] You haven't put\Nthat in any of your films yet?
