（倫敦 西區 1953年）
阿嘉莎克莉絲蒂的作品《捕鼠器》 Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap.
在我看來 只是二流的兇殺推理小說 In my opinion, a second-rate murder mystery.
你要明白 我其實沒看過 Not that I've seen it, you understand.
但它是尋兇故事 But it's a whodunit.
看過一本 等於看了全部 You've seen one, you've seen 'em all.
你知鋪排是怎樣 You know the drill.
一段冗長的序章 An interminable prologue
介紹了所有主要角色 in which all the key players are introduced.
你會了解到他們所居住的世界 You get a sense of the world they inhabit,
然後最不討喜的角色被殺了 and then the most unlikable character gets bumped off.
有兇殺案 There's been a murder?
這句對白介紹了厭世警探出場 MAN: Cue the entrance of a world-weary detective,
他走進來四處調查 who comes in and pokes his nose around.
他查問證人 被誤導了幾次 Talks to witnesses. Takes a couple of wrong turns.
（電報 佩芝娜史賓莎） （大使劇院）
然後把所有疑兇聚集在客廳 And then gathers all the suspects in the drawing room
指控最不可能是兇手的平庸閑人 and points the finger at the least likely chump
因為那個人 because of the way the guy,
我不知道 I don't know,
綁鞋帶的方式吧 ties his shoelaces.
現在各位已看過我們的表演 你們也是兇案的同謀 Now you've seen our play, you're an accomplice to murder.
所以 我們請各位緊記 And so, we ask you to remember
為你自己著想 that it is very much in your interests
不要向這劇院外的人透露兇手身份 not to tell a soul outside of this theater who done it.
但我的想法不重要 But what do I know?
那些英國佬 他們受落得很 The Limeys, they just lap it up.
這舞台劇一炮而紅 The play's a smash hit.
而且更是搖錢樹 Not to mention a cash cow.
這位就是搖錢樹的老闆 佩芝娜史賓莎 Right there is the milkmaid in chief, Petula Spencer.
（決定不來派對 已送上蛋糕） （阿嘉莎）
這奢華派對是為公演了一百場而慶祝 This lavish affair is a party to celebrate the 100th performance.
難怪電影製作人約翰禾夫 No wonder film producer John Woolf
想把這套劇拍成電影 wants to turn the play into a major motion picture.
他現時身在他那略為多疑的妻子的懷抱裏 Here he is now in the arms of his slightly paranoid wife.
我感覺到死亡就在眼前 I sense that death is close at hand.
可能只是對流風 It's probably just a draft.
我就在此時出場 This is where I come in.
名叫里奧科佩尼 Leo Kopernick's the name.
荷里活的著名大導演 Big-shot Hollywood director.
受僱來令這改編電影 Hired to make the film adaptation
別跟舞台劇版一樣沉悶 marginally less boring than the play.
講易過做 尤其編劇是個自大狂 Easier said than done when the writer's a giant pompous ass.
默文洛羅 Mervyn Cocker-Norris.
你竟然那麼高 I say, you're rather tall.
是嗎 老實說 我沒想過這點 Am I? Haven't really thought about it, to be honest.
所以撞傷這裏 Is that what happened here?
算是 我在後台發生了意外 Sort of. I had a bit of an accident backstage.
當然 他受過教育亦知道很多故作艱澀的單詞 Sure, he's educated and he knows a lot of $10 words,
但他好像從未看過電影 but it's like he's never seen a film before,
更別說寫一套了 let alone try to write one.
哦 走開 Oh, ma vattinne!
這是誰 Chi è chistu?
只是閒人 No one important.
哦 雌性或野獸 只需呼吸 Omm, femmina o bestia, basta che respira!
有時你扮暴躁的那不勒斯人有點過火 You know, at times you do rather overdo the temperamental Neapolitan.
外套很不錯 That's a nice jacket.
不如給我一杯真正的酒 小朋友 Say, why don't you scare me up a real drink, will you, kid?
例如裸麥或波本威士忌 Like a pint of rye or bourbon
或機油 如果必須的話 or motor oil, if you have to.
好了 立即去 Yeah. Hop to it, now, huh?
在英國 這其實已算得上是優良服務 In England, that actually counts as good service.
戰時我曾駐紮這裏 I was stationed here during the war
要說兩者區別 現在的當地人 and, if anything, the locals are more uptight now
比德國空軍掠過時更拘謹 than when they had the Luftwaffe overhead.
默文 Mervyn?
你不是該在家 我以為交稿日快到了 Shouldn't you be home? I thought we had a deadline.
我也以為是 I thought so too.
但後來我們尊敬的導演撕了劇本 But then our esteemed director tore up the screenplay
叫我重頭寫過 and told me to start all over again.
他認為現代觀眾會走出來抗議 He's of the opinion that a modern audience will walk out in protest
若在電影開始時 沒有至少一人慘烈死亡的話 if they're not served at least one violent death in the opening frames.
我可以說 我們已互不理睬 Suffice to say, we are no longer on speaking terms.
默文 Merv!
倫敦最感性的作家 London's most sensitive writer.
《捕鼠器》寫得怎樣 How is The Mousetrap, huh?
他們抓到兇手了嗎 Did they catch the guy who did it?
我不會站在這裏受辱 I will not stand here and be insulted.
我猜他會去那邊受辱吧 Well, I guess he's gonna go over there and be insulted.
這裏最有魅力的人來了 What passes for glamour in these parts.
絲娜辛和迪奇艾登堡 Sheila Sim and Dickie Attenborough.
這孩子極愛說話 Kid likes the sound of his own voice.
我賭他會發表演講 Even money, he makes a speech.
我想我應該說幾句話 I suppose I ought to say a few words.
別說太多 Not too many.
- 我何時試過 - 我們的婚禮 記得嗎 - And when have I ever? - Our wedding, remember?
幾乎錯過了蜜月 We almost missed the honeymoon.
對 Yes.
各位親愛的 你們真客氣 Darlings, you're ever so kind.
我想請大家像舉球拍一樣舉杯 I'd like to ask you all to raise a metaphorical bat
向老劇院致敬 to the old pavilion.
慶祝《捕鼠器》演了一百場仍不倒 The Mousetrap is 100, not out.
- 乾杯 - 乾杯 - Cheers! - Cheers!
我告訴你還有甚麼是一百而不倒 I tell you what else is 100 not out.
佩芝娜的母親 Petula's mother.
這老瘋婦沉迷海鮮 The old kook's just crazy about seafood.
他們拿了更多海螯蝦出來 They just brought out more langoustines.
失陪 我要看著她 Excuse me, I just need to deal with that.
媽媽 拜託 Mother! Please,
- 你吃很多了 - 嗨 - you've had quite enough. - Hi.
我不是個愛說閒話的人 Now, I'm not one to tell tales out of school,
但要令這裏的女孩們瘋狂 but the girls over here,
只需要美國口音和答應送她們一雙尼龍絲襪 they go wild for an American accent and the promise of a pair of nylons.
但丈夫們嘛... But the husbands...
好了 是時候該有人給你教訓 Right. I think it's time someone taught you a lesson.
他們不太容易討好 they're not so easily won over.
為公平提醒你 我在英國皇家空軍學會了拳擊 It's only fair to warn you that I learned to box in the RAF.
是嗎 我在健身室學會了開飛機 Yeah? Well, I learned to fly a plane in Gleason's Gym.
這一切都明顯以迂迴的方式解釋了 All of which explains, in an admittedly roundabout fashion,
我怎麼會來到劇院後台 how I come to be in the theater's backstage area
並需要換衣服 in need of a change of clothes.
哈囉 Hello?
（出口）
慘了 Aw, jeez.
我猜我早該要料到的 I guess I should have seen this coming.
永遠都是最不討喜的角色被殺 It's always the most unlikable character who gets bumped off.
這是尋兇故事 It's a whodunit.
你看過一本 等於看了全部 You've seen one, you've seen 'em all.
（主演 理察艾登堡）
（理察艾登堡飾演特達警長）
關門了 We're closed.
走開 Clear off.
不是吧 Honestly.
對不起 先生 史托帕督察 Oh, I'm so sorry, sir. Inspector, uh, Stoppard, sir.
抱歉 我收到嚴格指示不能讓任何人進來 Sorry, I was under strict instructions not to let anyone in.
開門吧 Just open the door.
是 當然了 抱歉 我認不出你 Yes, sir. Of course. Sorry, I didn't recognize you, sir.
我剛調過來的 I've actually, uh, just been transferred myself.
以為今晚是利克和彼斯當值 Thought it was Leeke and Priestley on rotation tonight.
小心 長官 Careful, sir.
請進來 In you come.
- 警員 - 斯托克 長官 - Constable. - Stalker, sir.
天啊 你濕透了 God, you're all wet through, sir.
希望你之後不會感冒 Hope you don't catch a cold after that.
對 你先 長官 Yep, after you, sir.
受害者叫里奧科佩尼 電影導演 Victim's name is Leo Kopernick, sir. The film director.
疑似共產主義者 被荷里活列入黑名單 Suspected Communist, blacklisted in Hollywood,
所以他來這裏為約翰禾夫拍電影 so he came out here to work on a picture for John Woolf.
你聽過約翰禾夫吧 是電影監製 You know John Woolf, the film producer.
他與堪富利保加合作拍了《東非抗敵記》 He made The African Queen with Humphrey Bogart.
「大自然是我們在這世上要超越的東西」 "Nature, Mr. Allnut, is what we are put in this world to rise above."
完全不像保加 That didn't sound anything like Bogart.
不 是嘉芙蓮協賓說的 No, that was Katharine Hepburn, sir.
她也有演 很棒的女演員 She's in it too. Wonderful actress.
我其實經常去看電影 I go to the pictures quite a lot, actually.
可以逃離現實 It's the escape, I suppose.
大銀幕的浪漫 The romance of the silver screen.
好的 謝謝警員 Yes, thank you, Constable.
是 長官 Yes, sir.
有掙扎的痕跡 Eh, signs of a struggle.
其實這是波爾夫人被殺時造成的 Actually, sir, I believe that happened when Mrs. Boyle was killed.
波爾夫人 誰是... Mrs. Boyle? Who's...
是的 Yes, sir. Um
她是第一排那位女士 She's that woman in the front row there.
看來她翻生了啊 Well, she seems to have bounced back.
抱歉 長官 她是在劇中被殺 同樣是勒死 Sorry, sir. No, she was killed in the play. Also strangled.
我沒看過 雖然我很想看 Not that I've seen it, although I would like to.
是阿嘉莎克莉絲蒂的作品 我喜歡推理故事 It's an Agatha Christie, and I do like a good murder.
好的 謝謝警員 Yes, thank you, Constable.
是 長官 Yes, sir.
雪橇造成的 長官 A ski did that, sir.
顯然在劇中有用到 They use it in the play, apparently.
如我所說 我沒看過 As I said, I haven't seen it.
然後顱骨上的大凹痕是衣車所致 And then the large dent in the cranium is a sewing machine.
看來他最初是在服裝間被殺 Seems he was killed in the costume store initially,
後來被搬到這裏 and then he was deposited here.
可以說是佈局 Staged, so to speak.
抱歉 長官 Sorry, sir.
應該就是用這雪橇板打臉 Yeah, that's the ski that he took in the face, sir.
恐怕之後事態急轉直下 And, uh, I'm afraid it was downhill from there.
對不起 我衝口而出 Oh. Sorry, sir. That one just came out on its own.
看來他是下來換衣服 Seems he came down here for a change of clothes.
為甚麼 Why?
（10公演）
當時正搞派對 慶祝公演了一百場 It was a party to celebrate the 100th performance, sir.
另一個數字牌定是... The other nought must have...
當受害者打翻蛋糕時 When the victim upset the sponge.
然後他跌坐到多種甲殼動物中 Um, and he then proceeded to sit in the assortment of crustaceans.
聽說他喝醉了 醉到站不穩 I'm told he was intoxicated, sir, as a newt.
這實際上比我想像中更有趣 This was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be.
然後他離場 沒人再見過他 直到屍體被發現 Then he left. No one saw him again until the body was discovered.
沒錯 長官 That's correct, sir.
或許他們全都是同謀 Perhaps they were all in on it together, sir?
看來兇手試圖拔出受害者的舌頭 Looks like the killer tried to pull out the victim's tongue.
怎會有人這樣做 Why would anyone do a thing like that?
不好意思 總督察 Excuse me, Chief Inspector.
只是「督察」 It's just "Inspector."
對 當然了 督察 Yes. Of course. Inspector.
抱歉打斷你 I hate to interrupt, I do.
真的 太糟糕了 There really is nothing worse...
佩芝娜史賓莎 著名劇團經理 Petula Spencer, sir. Prominent theater impresario.
好的 謝謝警員 Yes, thank you, Constable.
告訴我 你打算把我們都扣留在這裏多久 Tell me, how much longer do you intend to keep us all hostage here?
還是你打算「讓有毛病的馬兒退縮」 Or is that the idea? "Let the galled jade wince."
聚集所有疑兇 Gather all the suspects under one roof
然後逐一審問 直至謎團解開 and then interrogate each of us in turn until the mystery is solved?
默文洛羅 過譽的劇作家 Mervyn Cocker-Norris, overrated playwright.
著名劇作家 Celebrated playwright.
對不起 先生 Oh, I'm so sorry, sir.
我看不懂自己的字跡 I can't read me own handwriting.
我們肯定不是疑兇 Not that we are suspects, necessarily.
我們是疑兇嗎 Are we suspects?
我只是引用克莉絲蒂最愛寫的結局 It was just a reference to Agatha Christie and her penchant for denouement,
警探叫來所有... in which the detective gathers the susp...
我肯定這不會是... I dare say, that's not...
- 請繼續 - 好的 謝謝默文 - Please continue. - Yes, thank you, Mervyn.
督察 我想你知道 Inspector, I want you to know
我是無比尊重 that I have nothing but the utmost respect
倫敦警察 for the Metropolitan Police.
但你認為你可及時完成調查 But, well, do you think you might be finished in time
趕及明天公演嗎 for curtain up tomorrow night?
老天 Oh, for goodness' sake.
約翰禾夫 受敬重的電影監製 John Woolf, esteemed film producer.
好的 謝謝警員 Yes, thank you, Constable.
這是兇殺案調查 This is a murder investigation.
當然是最首要的不管戲票售罄與否 Surely that takes precedence, sold out or not.
這正合你意吧 禾夫 Yes, it's all going to plan for you, isn't it, Woolfie?
你想公演完結 You want the run to end.
我絕對不想 I want nothing of the sort.
只不過這樣做很恰當 It's the decent thing to do, that's all.
為尊重里奧而關閉劇院 Close the theater out of respect for Leo.
他的死是一大損失 Such a tragic loss.
督察 我懇求你別反應過度 Inspector, I implore you not to overreact.
我真的不想越過你 I would hate to have to go over your head and
直接找你上級談談 talk directly to your superiors.
我們都不想 對吧 夫人 Oh, we wouldn't want that, now, would we, madam?
但恐怕在這種情況下 But I'm afraid that under the circumstances,
- 為防範起見... - 防範 - as a precaution... - Precaution?
他已經死了 He's already dead.
沒錯 夫人 He is, madam.
但在查出可能動機之前 But until we have an idea as to a likely motive,
誰說這事已結束 who's to say this is the end of it?
甚麼意思 What is that supposed to mean?
我們不再僅是疑兇 We are no longer merely suspects.
我們亦是潛在的受害者 We are also potential victims.
天啊 沒拍到我吧 我看來定很糟糕 Oh, God, I wasn't in that, was I? I must look dreadful.
（蘇格蘭場） （入口 出口）
不好意思 Excuse me, sir.
史托帕 Stoppard!
來我辦公室 My office.
（警察總監）
你好 長官 Hello, sir.
你搞甚麼要關閉大使劇院 What in God's name possessed you to close down the Ambassadors?
按規矩做 那是犯罪現場 Uh, protocol, sir. It's a crime scene.
不 那是公關災難 僅此而已 No, it's a public relations disaster, is what it is.
公關甚麼 Public what, sir?
- 斯托克 - 長官 - Stalker! - Sir.
老實說... Not to put too fine a point on...
- 這裏 謝謝 - 這裏 - Yes, please. - Here.
老實說 督察 Not to put too fine a point on it, Inspector,
你這次疏忽已成頭條新聞 but your latest blunder is front page news.
（西區現瘋子 兇手於劇院行兇）
（荷里活電影導演死得可疑）
記者都搶著報導 像烏蠅黏蜜糖 Fleet Street is all over this, like hot jam on a Devonshire scone.
你是整件事的焦點所有 You are slap-bang in the crosshairs.
現在我們要盡其所能 Now, we need to do everything we can
確保子彈不會錯過你而射中我 to make sure the bullet doesn't miss you and hit me.
- 當然 長官 - 好極 - Yeah, of course, sir. Yes. - Good.
那你立即去通知劇院 Then you'll inform the theater at once.
我認為防範起見 我... Well, I thought as a precaution, I...
內政大臣是阿嘉莎克莉絲蒂的私人好友 The Home Secretary is a close, personal friend of Agatha Christie.
他的姐夫是力士夏里遜 His brother-in-law is Rex Harrison.
很棒的演員 Wonderful actor.
- 好的 謝謝警員 - 長官 - Yes, thank you, Constable. - Sir.
媒體被這事分散注意力對我們有利 It's actually worked in our favor to have the press distracted like this.
這代表我們可保密瑞靈頓街兇殺案 It means we can keep a lid on the Rillington Place murders.
瑞靈頓街兇殺案 沒錯 那是甚麼事 Rillington Place murders. Yes. What's that?
天啊 Blimey.
你沒聽說 Haven't you heard?
有連環殺手逍遙法外 We have a serial killer on the loose.
你不是以為那些人是來幫你吧 You didn't think all of this was for you, now, did you?
- 不 當然不是... - 不是 - No, of course... - No.
當然不是 Of course not.
所有資源都調去查那宗案了 Well, have all the resources been allocated to this other investigation?

一位很能幹的警員 A very capable officer.
至少以後可能會是 只要她得到正確指導 Or at least she will be once she gets the proper instruction.
對不起 我不確定我... Sorry, sir, I'm not sure I, uh...
你不是要我... You don't mean you want me to...
是 沒錯 我要你指點她 Yes, I do. I'd like you to show her the ropes.
希望她對警察工作的熱情會感染到你 I'm hoping some of her enthusiasm for police work might rub off on you.
但那子彈 那不是... But the, uh, bullet, sir. Is that why...
這不是辯論 史托帕 This is not a debate, Stoppard.
我有現代化主義者的形象 I have a reputation as a modernizer.
並要一直維持下去 I have to be seen to keep it up.
我曾公開說過 I have said in public
我認為女性是警隊的未來 that I think women are the future of the force.

你沒事吧 You all right?
沒事 有受害者的地址 Yeah. Do we have an address for the victim?
有 是「月桂峽谷 荷里活 美國」 Yep. It is "Laurel Canyon, Hollywood, USA."
他在英國住那裏 警員 Where was he staying in England, Constable?
對 Right.
（薩佛伊）
老實說 科佩尼先生並非好住客 If I am honest, Monsieur Kopernick, he was not a very good guest.
他欠租 In arrears, was he?
不 但房錢不是他付的 Là, non, but he did not pay for his room.
是禾夫先生出錢 Monsieur Woolf did.
你來自法國那區 先生 What part of France are you from, sir?
比利時 Belgium.
好吧 Ah, right.
老天 Oh, my, my.
狗竇一樣 What a bloody pigsty.
薩佛伊酒店沒人收拾房間的 They don't clean the rooms at the Savoy?
這間沒人收拾 Hélas, not this one.
女佣們拒絕來 The maids, they refuse.
我們願付更多錢 她們仍不肯 We offer them more money, but still they say non.
之前 There was
發生過一件事 an incident.
只要與科佩尼先生有關 Always avec Monsieur Kopernick,
就總有事發生 there was an incident.
（原創改編默文洛羅）
（根據克莉絲蒂劇本改編）
謝謝 警員 Thank you, Constable.
對不起 長官 Oh. Sorry, sir.
這些事件有演變成暴力事件嗎 Did one of these incidents ever turn violent?
有 有一次 Oui. Une fois.
你竟敢說我是差勁作家 How dare you call me a bad writer!
我沒有 我是說寫得差勁 I didn't say that. I said it's bad writing.
我已盡力貼合類型改編 I did the best I could within the confines of the genre,
而且禾夫很喜歡 and Woolf loved it!
禾夫不懂何謂好劇本 他懂個屁 Woolf wouldn't know a good script if it came up and bit him on the ass.
- 這是垃圾 - 不是 不完全是 - It's horseshit! - No, it isn't! Not all of it!
好吧 我看了的都是 All right, what I read is horseshit!
你沒全部看完 You mean you didn't even finish it?
我看到 I read enough, pal,
前十頁都沒人被殺就夠 to know that nobody gets killed in the first 10 pages!
你這騙子 還給我 You charlatan! Give it back!
- 聽我說 聽著 - 給... - Listen. Listen to me. Listen! - Give...
我們要用全新方向創作 We need to go in a completely different direction!
我會為此殺了你 科佩尼 你這混蛋 I'll kill you for this, Kopernick, you bastard!
是他了 那句就如自首 That's that then, sir. It's as good as a confession.
別妄下定論 警員 Let's not jump to conclusions, Constable.
我沒有 No, sir.
我們至少該找這人談談 The least we can do is talk to this other party.
知道 洛羅 Yes, sir. Cocker-Norris, sir.
（別妄下定論）
告訴我 你把所有事都寫進 Tell me, do you write everything down
這小小筆記簿 in that little notebook?
只寫重要事 長官 Only if it's important, sir.
你怎知道那是重要 How do you know if it's important?
知 Well,
我會記下一切 uh, I'll just sort of put everything in as we go,
隨著調查 當知道甚麼是重點後 and then down the line when we know what's important,
便知道那早已寫進筆記簿 we'll know that it's already in the notebook.
所以你寫下所有事 So you do write everything down.
對 所有事 Yeah, everything.
我就知道 That's what I thought.
你們自便 正巧趕及上午茶點時間 Make yourself comfortable. You're just in time for elevenses.
（《捕鼠器》）
抱歉這裏一團亂 You must excuse the désordre,
那是為電影改編作資料搜集 it's research for the film adaptation.
警方聲明 法庭報告 剪報 Police statements, court reports, newspaper cuttings.
《捕鼠器》其實根據真實案件而寫 The Mousetrap is actually based on a real-life case.
蕁麻茶 Nettle tea?
我感謝你在還未能接受 I appreciate you've not yet had time to come to terms
科佩尼先生之死時 仍... with the death of Mr. Kopernick, but...
他的舌頭真的被拔掉 Is it true his tongue was pulled out?
我恐怕不能透露細節 I'm afraid I can't divulge details
案件仍在調查 of an ongoing investigation.
真的很嘔心 It was disgusting.
愛 我這樣不累 Amore, non pozzo faticà così!
甚麼 What?
這太瘋狂了 È na cos' 'e pazz!
那是傑奧...我侄子 非常暴躁 That's Gio. Nephew of mine. Very hotheaded.
不知道是否和煙霧有關 I wonder if it isn't all the fumes.
來自化學品那些 You know, from the chemicals.
他是業餘標本剝製師 He's an amateur taxidermist.
對恐怖事物非常著迷 He has a fascination with the macabre.
我稱之為他的食人怪鳥系列 I call it his Stymphalian Bird series.
在「鳥類學」來說非常恐怖的東西 Macabre in a strictly "ornithological" sense, that is.
你想問我里奧的事 You wanted to ask me about Leo?
聽說你們在酒店曾有爭執 We heard there was an argument at the Savoy,
而我發現你有另一本的劇本 and I noticed you had the other half of this.
督察 那次僅是有分歧而已 Inspector, that was a contretemps, nothing more.
讀那一段 沒錯 Read that part. Yeah.
「我會為此殺了你 科佩尼 你這混蛋」 "I'll kill you for this, Kopernick, you bastard."
很顯然 我... Well, obviously, I...
單看這句話 我... Taken out of context, I...
這些話是我在憤怒並被極度挑釁下所說 Those words were spoken in anger and under extreme provocation.
我們有創作分歧 僅此而已 We had creative differences, that's all.
你認為《捕鼠器》如何 How did you like The Mousetrap?
對 那舞台劇 Oh, yeah, the play?
對了 我...我還沒看 Yeah, I, uh... I didn't see it yet.
你想的話 Well, if you'd like,
- 我可簡述... - 不 不用 - I can précis this... - No, no, no.
我知道大意 那是尋兇故事 對吧 I got the basics. It's a whodunit, right?
所以會有一具屍體 有位警探 So, you got a dead body, a detective,
然後所有疑兇都很碰巧地 and then all the suspects rather conveniently
最終同處偏遠的鄉郊別墅 end up in a remote country house together.
概括來說是 In a nutshell.
我們的任務是把這連串無理事件呈現給 Our task will be to present this improbable series of events
智商平庸的觀眾 to an audience of moderate intelligence
但方式又不能太冒犯 in a manner that does not cause too much offense.
簡單得很 Easy.
倒敘法 Flashbacks.
不行 No.
甚麼不行 No what?
用倒敘法不行 No flashbacks.
那手法粗糙 懶惰 還打斷了故事發展 They are crass, lazy, and they interrupt the flow of the story.
我認為那是想像力乾枯時的最後手段 In my opinion, they are the last refuge of a moribund imagination.
然後怎樣 Whatever next?
加標題說「三星期後」 A caption that says, "Three weeks later"?
（三星期後）
默文 別這樣好嗎 Merv. Merv, will you come on?
這太離譜 你開門好嗎 This is crazy. Will you open the door?
禾夫來之前我不會出去 I'm not coming out until Woolf gets here.
這次又怎麼了 What is it this time?
我來告訴你 I'll tell you what it is.
我提議了個新結局I pitched a new ending,
這洛甚麼傢伙就反鎖自己在浴室 Cockamamie-Novice over here locks himself in the bathroom.
用來取代追車戲 Is this instead of the car chase?
是再加一幕 As well as.
他認為「結局」代表「槍戰」的意思 I think he thinks "denouement" is French for "shootout."
你至少聽我說完 才說你不喜歡 Will you at least hear me out first, and then tell me you don't like it?
來嘛 我還準備了分鏡圖 來吧 坐下 Come on, I storyboarded it for you. Come on, have a seat.
為何不能讓警探 Why can't we just have the detective
把所有人叫來客廳 然後揭露誰是兇手 gather everyone in the drawing room and then reveal to them who did it?
為甚麼 因為那樣太老土 太悶 Why? 'Cause it's old, it's tired.
已經拍過幾千次 It's been done a thousand times.
那誰向觀眾解釋來龍去脈 So then who explains to the audience what on Earth's going on?
沒有人 No one.
我不知道 兇手吧 I don't know. The killer.
你明白我要忍受甚麼了 Now you see what I have to put up with?
你們請坐好嗎 Will you please have a seat?
好了 一間偏遠的鄉郊別墅 So, a remote country house.
所有疑兇都聚集在客廳裏 對吧 We got all the, uh, suspects gathered in the drawing room, right?
至此仍沉悶得很 So far, soporific.
突然 燈滅了 Suddenly, the lights go out.
我們的主角拿著手槍 慢慢走進大廳 Our hero grips his Colt Special, edges into the hall.
兇手挾持著人質 他無法瞄準 The killer's got a hostage, can't get a clear shot.
突然 砰 Suddenly, kaboom!
那地方著火 The place goes up in flames.
砰 砰 Blam! Blam!
主角射中兇手 Our hero plugs the killer.
一槍中腹 One in the gut!
一槍中膝 One in the knee!
然後 突然間... Then, all of a sudden...
他的槍卡住了 His goddamned gun jams.
他就像活靶 He's a sittin' duck.
抱歉 不是這張 Sorry, not that one.
很抱歉 I'm sorry about this.
他就像活靶 He's a sittin' duck.
我們的兇手 垂死但未死透 Our killer, dying but not dead,
他瞄準 takes aim.
砰 他開槍 Boom! He fires.
突然間 Out of nowhere,
主角的警察搭檔慢動作入鏡 our hero cop's partner dives in slow motion!
擋了子彈 Takes a bullet!
主角抱著拍檔 像父親抱子一樣 Our hero cradles his partner like a father would his child.
他臉上流露各種情緒 His face a gumbo of emotions.
我們定鏡拍攝這煉獄 We hold on the inferno,
然後鏡頭向左移 拍死去的管家 and we pan left, to a dead butler.
再響起漢克威廉斯的歌 Hank Williams plays us out.
《我看到光》 I Saw The Light.
你們討厭它 You hate it.
不 我不討厭 No, no, I don't hate it.
但你不喜歡 But you don't love it. -
當然不喜歡 Of course he doesn't!
太荒謬了 It's preposterous
而且與電影其餘部分的風格不同 and totally out of keeping with the rest of the film.
誰在乎 Oh, who cares?
觀眾只會記得最後二十分鐘 The audience only ever remembers the last 20 minutes.
荒謬 Oh, poppycock.
是希治閣風格 Uh, Hitchcock, actually.
他怎樣拿到槍的 How does he get the gun?
他是警察 He's a cop!
英國警察不配槍 Uh, police are not armed in England.
甚麼 他們怎樣殺壞人 What? How do they kill the bad guys?
不殺 They don't.
以法律之名要求犯人停止 They ask them to stop in the name of the law.
他上過戰場 所以保留了服役時的左輪手槍 Well, he fought in the war, so he kept his service revolver.
老天 我們下次再繼續談 God damn it, we're gonna have to pick this up another time.
對了 默文 Say, uh, Merv.
借這地方給我 好嗎 You wouldn't want to lend me this pad, would you?
就一晚 Just for the night.
有位我想討好的女爵把車泊在外面 Only I got this dame parked outside I wanna impress.
她真的是女爵士 As in, she actually is a dame.
你也知道的 And, well, you know.
我住處不像薩佛伊豪華 My place ain't exactly the Savoy.
我以為他就是住在薩佛伊的 I thought his place exactly was the Savoy.
不 他是一個月後才正式住在那 No, he didn't take up residence there till a month later.
而製作公司幫他付錢 And the production company footed the bill when he did.
他怎麼做到的 我永遠想不透 How he finagled that, I'll never know.
可能我需要換新經理人 或他有禾夫的把柄 Either I need a new agent, or he had dirt on Woolf.
你有遇過那些女人嗎 Did you ever meet these women?
她們是誰 Who were they?
他在戰時認識的女人 她們要求低 Oh, girls he met during the war who had low standards
自尊更低 and even lower self-esteem.
我從沒碰見過 I never had the pleasure.
等等 Oh, wait.
我更正 Tell a lie.
默文 別這樣 Merv! Come on.
我說該撕掉劇本 When I said we should tear up the script,
不是真的要撕 I didn't mean literally!
你好 里奧 Hello, Leo.
那小子為何來 What is that doing here?
他是科佩尼的兒子 He was Kopernick's son!
餅印一樣 Peas in a pod.
那母親呢 And the mother?
我沒看清楚 很平凡 很樸素 I didn't get a good look. A plain girl, rather homely.
黑髮 戴眼鏡 Dark hair, glasses,
厚鏡片 thick lenses.
有線索了 長官 「Cherchez la femme」 So there we have it, sir. Cherchez la femme.
甚麼 What?
是比利時語 「找出那女人」 It's Belgian, sir. It means, "Look for the woman."
我知意思 警員 甚麼女人 I know what it means, Constable. What woman?
科佩尼私生子的母親 The mother of Kopernick's illegitimate son.
洛羅不記得她的名字 Cocker-Norris couldn't remember her name,
但我猜一定在那黑色簿裏 but I bet it's in that little black book.
你在酒店房找到那本 長官 You know, the one that you found in the hotel room, sir.
找到她 就找到答案 If we find her, we have our answer.
要立即叫警察素描師來 We need to get a police sketch artist down here at once
免得他忘了 before he forgets anything.
我又再犯了 對吧 Mmm. I'm doing it again, aren't I, sir?
- 妄下定論 - 定論 對 - Jumping to conclusions. - Conclusions, yeah.
有點 Little bit.
對不起 Sorry.
警員 Constable.

親愛的 怎麼了 Darling, what's the matter?
你知道承諾是要遵守的吧 You do know a promise is only a promise if you keep it.

你真的要回羅慕勒斯 You do actually need to get back to Romulus.
- 好吧 - 好 - Oh. Right. Okay. Yes. - Yes.
（羅慕勒斯電影公司）
真令人興奮 對吧 This is exciting, isn't it, sir?
就是這種事 I'd say this is the type of thing
令你想成為警察吧 that made you want to become a police officer, was it?
我 我其實是碰巧入行的 Me? I just sort of fell into it, really.
戰後他們需要人 我需要錢 所以... They needed people after the war, and I needed the money, so...
真的 工時長影響交際 No, it's true. The hours can be unsociable,
但我不懂打字 又見不了血 but I can't type or stand the sight of blood,
所以做不到秘書 so that ruled out secretary for me.
介意我問你意見嗎 You don't mind if I pick your brains, do you, sir?
我一個月後要考警長試 Only I have sergeants' exams in a month,
有一 兩個問題想問問你 and I just have one or two questions that I'd love to run by you.
警員 其實 Actually, Constable,
我剛記起 我約... I've just remembered that I have a, uh...
約了牙醫 dentist appointment.
對不起 我不知道你牙痛 Oh. Sorry, sir. I didn't know you were suffering.
只是例行檢查 Just a routine checkup.
- 那我要做甚麼 - 在這等 - What shall I do, sir? - Wait here.
如果禾夫出現呢 But what if Woolf turns up, sir?
我不會去太久 而且你有 Won't be long. And you have your, uh,
記事簿 notebook.
留神盯著 Keep your eyes peeled.
知道 長官 Yes, sir.
- 氈酒 - 氈酒 - Gin. - Gin?

（牙醫）
（基爾 牙醫） （莫里 牙醫）
（華金臣 牙醫） （亨里 牙醫）
你在這 警員 There you are, Constable.
我四圍找你 I've been looking all over for you.
我聽說是你付錢 So, I gather it was you that, uh, paid
讓科佩尼先生住進那挺奢侈的酒店套房 for Mr. Kopernick's rather extravagant hotel suite.
沒甚麼稀奇的 督察 Oh, nothing unusual in that, Inspector.
恐怕監製就是要縱容人才的任性要求 I'm afraid a producer is expected to indulge the whims of the talent.
尤其他們是美國人 Especially when they're American.
雖然如此 薩佛伊的房租不菲 But still, a pretty penny, a room at the Savoy.
意料之中 Par for the course.
當我在剛果拍《東非抗敵記》時 When I was in the Congo for The African Queen,
侯斯頓和保加拒絕喝水 Huston and Bogart refused to drink the water.
堅持要用威士忌 Insisted on bourbon,
連刷牙也是 even to brush their teeth.
我敢說 在森林可不容易找 Not so easy to get hold of in the jungle, I can assure you.
斯托克警員是那套戲的大影迷 Huh. You know, Constable Stalker here is a great admirer of that film.
是嗎 警員 Aren't you, Constable?
那是套出色電影 先生 It's a marvelous film, sir.
謝謝 警員 Why, thank you, Constable.
百科全書 Encyclopedia.
腦袋是電影百科全書 Cinematic encyclopedia up there.
- 我不會那樣說 - 真的 - I wouldn't say that. - Yeah.
好吧 Right.
故作謙虛 Being humble.
我沒有 I'm not.
所以科佩尼沒有你的把柄 So, it's not true that Kopernick had dirt on you?
誰跟你們說的 Who told you that?
看看是誰啊 Well, now, what do we have here?
禾夫 Huh, Woolfie?
坐在安靜的角落 Sittin' in a quiet corner,
舒適又親密 all very nice and intimate.
不介意我同坐吧 Say, you wouldn't mind if I joined you, would you?
絕不介意 老友 Not at all, old boy.
你一定是禾夫太太了 對吧 And you must be Mrs. Woolf, huh?
很高興認識你 Swell to make your acquaintance.
不 里奧 她是安 No, no. Leo, this is Ann.
她是我的助理 She's my assistant.
加班 對吧 Workin' late, huh?
失陪了... If you'll excuse me...
對不起 Um, I'm sorry.
祝你今晚愉快 You have a nice night, now.
好了 Well, now.
這令我很為難 This puts me in a tough spot.
恐怕我不得不趁機佔便宜 That I'm afraid I'm gonna have to take advantage of.
他要求住進薩佛伊 我同意了 He asked to be put up at the Savoy, and I agreed.
我知道他不會住很久 I knew it wouldn't be for long.
我指只要我找到合適機會... That is, just until I found the right moment to...
告訴我太太 tell my wife.
明白 那麼 I see. Well,
若有其他事會再找你 we'll be in touch if there's anything else.
警員 Constable.
走吧 Shall we?
長官 是禾夫殺了科佩尼為了隱瞞外遇 結案 But, sir, Woolf killed Kopernick to hush up the affair. Case closed.
若真是如此 I think if that was the case,
他不會主動透露 he wouldn't have volunteered the information.
所以 他仍沒嫌疑 So, then he's in the clear?
不 不一定 No, not necessarily.
他或因為其他原因殺了科佩尼 He might have killed Kopernick for another reason entirely.
我跟你說 I tell you,
我絕對趕不及掌握這些竅門來應付警長試 I'll never get the hang of this in time for sergeants' exams.
警員 剛才的事 Constable, about earlier.
我知我看來像從酒吧出來 I know it looked like I'd just come out of the pub.
你是剛從酒吧出來 You had just come out of the pub.
沒錯 That's right.
但我只是進去 But I'd only gone in there
沖走漱口水的味道 to get rid of the taste of the mouthwash.
所以你喝了氈酒 長官 So you had a gin, sir.
它是種殺菌劑 我補了牙 It's an antiseptic. I had a filling.
你說只是例行檢查 I thought you said it was a routine checkup.
看來你讀過審問技巧那一章 I see we've read the chapter on interrogation techniques.
長官 Sir,
我知我還沒有作為可令你讚賞 I know I haven't done anything yet to impress you
或令你對我有信心 而且... or to inspire any confidence, and...
我知你不希望我參與這調查 I know you'd probably rather that I wasn't on the case.
但也不是我要求查這件案的 But I didn't ask to be put on this case either, sir.
我以往太緊張 現在仍是... I was nervous, and I still am...
而且我可能越幫越忙 and I'm probably trying a bit too hard.
但你知嘛 即使我會犯錯 But, you know, even if I do make mistakes
或妄下定論 or if I jump to conclusions
或像別人所說 我說話有點多 or talk a little bit too much, that has been said,
我只想你知道 你可信任我 I just want you to know that you can trust me.
長官 Sir.
好 好極... Okay. Good. Um...
（保衛爾牛肉汁）
不是吧 Oh, you're joking.
- 警員 - 總監 - Constable. - Commissioner.
史托帕在嗎 Stoppard about?
不在 他今早還未出現 Er, no, sir. He's not yet made it in this morning.
快十一點了 It's almost eleven o'clock.
他...他約了牙醫 長官 He, uh... He had a dentist appointment, sir.
他好像說過要補牙 A filling, I think he said it was.
好像是補大牙 A molar, it might have been?
我被內政大臣傳喚 I have been summoned to the Home Secretary.
他想了解進展 He wants a debrief.
我說我有好消息 I said I had good news.
你看過那舞台劇嗎 長官 -Have you seen the play, sir? -Huh?
看過 Oh. Yes.
太太生日時和她去看 I'm afraid I took the wife for her birthday.
我當然沒被騙到 Of course, it didn't fool me for a moment.
當下就知道誰是兇手 I knew who did it right away.
不過她不明白 She was baffled, though.
即使那小子已解釋了一切 Even after the chap explained everything.
那晚大家都很難捱 It was a trying night for all concerned.
以後送花算了 I'll stick to flowers in future.
對 穩陣為上 Yes, always a safe bet, sir.
對不起 Sorry.
警察 Police.

這個 你不是剛看完牙醫 Well, haven't you just been to the dentist?
沒錯 長官 Yes, that's right, sir.
是啊 只是檢查 Yeah. It was just a checkup.
雖然我也補了牙 Although I did have a filling as well.
反正都在診所了 Since I was there.
我來問進展 督察 I've come down here for an update, Inspector.
有好消息 長官 We have good news, sir.
有嗎 We do?
有 你不是這樣跟內政大臣說嗎 Yes, sir. Isn't that what you told the Home Secretary?
對 我在電話是這樣跟內政大臣說 Yes, that's what I told the Home Secretary on the telephone.
我來是要取得實際消息 I came down here to get it.
所以我們沒有好消息 So we don't have good news?
我們有目擊者 長官 We do have a witness, sir.
目擊到兇案 To the murder?
是啊 那就好了 對吧 Yeah, that would be nice, wouldn't it?
不是 一位帶位員看到了可疑人物 Um, no. One of the ushers saw a suspicious character.
他在裏面等我們 He's waiting for us inside.
好極 Very well.
我會跟內政大臣說有可靠線索 I'll tell the Home Secretary we have a promising lead.
我希望你別令我變成騙子 And I'll rely on you not to make a liar out of me.

當然 那是在他死之前 Um... This was before, you know, he died.
然後你回來 And then you came back,
就在那時看到可疑人物 and that's when you saw the suspicious character?
正是 Exactly.
類似吧 Well, sort of.

中等吧 Oh... Just average, I'd say.
中等高度 還是中等體型 Average height or average build?
兩者都是 Both?
不 別反問我 No, don't ask me.
我可不知道 我在問你 I don't know. I'm asking you.
中等高度 Average height,
中等體型 medium build.
例如督察那樣 Would you say like the Inspector?
沒錯 Yeah.
算是 差不多 Suppose so. Pretty much.
他做了甚麼令你懷疑 So what did he do that made you suspicious?
不是他做了甚麼 It wasn't so much what he did,
而是他的行徑 it was more, you know, the way he did it.
好吧 那他行徑怎樣 Right. How'd he do it?
這個...就是行徑可疑 Well, sort of... suspiciously.
好到極 This has been great.
你走吧 Off you go.

只是微跛 It's very slight.
那晚你在台上我便注意到 我... I noticed it the other night when you were on stage. I, um...
我想借用這點 若你不介意 Well, I thought I might borrow it, if you don't mind.
主角有身體缺陷總令人印象深刻 It's always good for the lead character to have a physical defect.

有傳他們想請明星演這套戲 Rumor is they want to put a name in the picture
大眾都認識的明星 that people have heard of.
真正的荷里活明星 Bona fide Hollywood star.

我有厲害的舌頭 I've got a very, uh, silver tongue.
我不會說謊 督察 I won't lie, Inspector.
他死了我不遺憾 I was not entirely sorry to learn of his demise,

就像《捕鼠器》的電影版一樣 Much like the film adaptation of The Mousetrap, it would seem.
別這樣 你還未確定 Oh, come now, darling, you don't know that.
禾夫答應過讓你演 Woolf promised you the role.

等等 這一條重要嗎 Hang on a minute. Is this important?
我不確定 寫了甚麼 I doubt it. What does it say?

「須在首輪舞台劇公演完結至少六個月後」 "is to enter into production until a minimum of six months have elapsed"
「方可開始拍攝」 "since the end of its first theatrical run."
你不用擔心 Oh, you don't need to worry about that.

只是跌倒 失陪 I just fell over. Excuse me.
老實說 像請了個諧星做助理一樣 Honestly, it's like having Buster Keaton for an assistant.
聽著 我剛見了冼勒夫人... Now, I've just come from Madame Zena...
我真不想你去見那個... Oh, darling, I really wish you wouldn't see that...
請別叫她騙子 Please don't call her a charlatan.
我本想說「瘋子」 I was going to say "crackpot."
- 這是甚麼 - 塔羅牌 - What's this? - It's a Tarot card.
我看到 那是甚麼意思 I can see that. What does it mean?
背叛 Betrayal.
背叛是指他的外遇 不是那合約 Betrayal as in his affair, not the contract.
簽約當時是光明正大的 現在仍是 That was above board. Is above board.
是阿嘉莎堅持執行那條款 不是我 Agatha insisted on that clause, not me.
不 她非常保護她的作品 因為... No, she's fiercely protective of her own work, you see, because...
她必須這樣 Well, she has to be.
人們太激動 People get so riled up.
她收到死亡恐嚇 She's had death threats, you know.
她可憐得連給《泰晤士報》寫信 Poor girl can't write so much as a letter to The Times
都會收到一堆律師信 without a deluge of legal action
謊稱她抄襲了劇情或角色 and spurious claims she stole this plot or that character.
但這作品不就是嗎 Isn't that what happened here, though?
《捕鼠器》不就是根據真實案件而寫 Isn't The Mousetrap based on a true story?
對 藍本是的 我指大綱框架 Yes. Well, originally. I mean, tangentially.
總之 就是這原因 In any case, that's the reason
所以禾夫那晚迫切想終結公演 Woolf was so keen to shut the theater the other night.
他開拍不了 He can't make his film
除非舞台劇在西區公演完畢 until the play ends its run in the West End.
亦因為這舞台劇取得空前成功 As it is, what with the play being such a phenomenal success,
他被困在這劇院煉獄 he's stuck in theatrical purgatory.
禾夫是個無情的人 He's a ruthless customer, is Woolf.
他會為開拍電影不擇手段 He'll stop at nothing to get his film made.
肯定是禾夫 長官 It's definitely Woolf, sir.
不是百分百肯定 Well, not 100%.
大約73 74%吧 我想 More like 73-74%, I'd say.
他在劇院殺死科佩尼 迫劇院關閉 He killed Kopernick in the theater to force it to close down
那他就可開拍電影 so that he could make his film.
他可娶情婦 He could marry his mistress.
然後便可擺脫勒索者 And then he could get shot of a blackmailer.
不是禾夫 那太費神了 It's not Woolf. It's too elaborate.
他燒了劇院就行 Burn the place down, if that's what you want.
況且他拍電影不需要導演嗎 Besides, doesn't he need a director to make a film?
那就回到洛羅 Well, then it's back to Cocker-Norris.
排除法 Process of elimination.
不 不是默文 No, it's not Mervyn.
但舌頭被拔掉 Yeah, but the tongue business.
而且他顯然不喜歡里奧 And he clearly didn't like Leo, did he?
人們不會因創作分歧而拔舌 People don't rip out other people's tongues because of creative differences.
那樣做是出於報復 They do it out of revenge
或憤怒 因為痛失了摯愛 or rage because they've lost a loved one.
無法原諒或忘記 They can't forgive or forget,
所以獨自在黑暗中任憤怒發酵 so they just stew and fester alone in the dark
直到最後以突然的瘋狂暴行來發洩 until finally it all comes out in a sudden, frenzied act of violence.
你怎麼跛的 若不介意我問 How did you get the limp, sir? If you don't mind me asking.
打仗時 在意大利阿爾卑斯山中槍 Uh, in the war. Got shot in the Italian Alps.

哦 Oh.

我已造好嬰兒床和所有東西 I'd made a cot and everything.

你想要甚麼 What do you want?
那一晚 死了的美國人 Uh, the other night, sir. The dead Yank.
是史托帕督察接報到場而不是利克和彼斯 Inspector Stoppard got the call and not Leeke or Priestley.
所以呢 So?

幾點 What time?
十一點半 當時在播《睡前故事》 Half-past 11:00. Book at Bedtime was on.
你見過史托帕的太太嗎 Did you ever meet Stoppard's wife, sir?

混蛋 Stronzo.
《捕鼠器》要符合公司要求 照當初那樣 The Mousetrap in the house style, as it were.

- 是那引座員 長官 - 我知道 - It was the usher, sir. - I know.
他一直在我們的眼皮底下 He was under our noses all this time.
- 他在裏面 - 不 但我發現了這個 - Is he in? - No, sir. But I found this.
我們現在出發便可... If we get going now, sir, we can...
現在起交給我 警員 I can take it from here, Constable.

是丹尼斯 劇院的帶位員 It's Dennis. He's an usher from the Ambassadors.
噢 丹尼斯 Oh, Dennis!
很高興見到你 So nice to see you.
真巧 你怎會在這 This is a strange coincidence. What are you doing here?
是我邀請你們的 Well, I invited you.
天啊 Oh, my God.
你殺了里奧和默文 You killed Leo and Mervyn!
是我 I did.
我想中止電影和舞台劇 I wanted to stop the film and the play.
甚麼電影和舞台劇 What film? What play?
《捕鼠器》 The Mousetrap!
聽著 丹尼斯 Now, look here, Dennis.
我們都對劇院有強烈感受 We all have strong opinions on the theater.
某種意義上 劇院存在就是為了激發情感 In a sense, that's what it's there for, to provoke emotion.
我感謝你不喜歡《捕鼠器》 And I appreciate you don't care for The Mousetrap.
我會第一個承認這完全比不上《哈姆雷特》 I'll be the first to admit it's not exactly Hamlet.
但你要明白 But you must see
這樣做有點太誇張 that this is a bit of an overreaction.
不是這個原因 That's not what this is.
那是為甚麼 Then, what... what is this?
那不是你們的故事 是我的 It's not your story to tell, is it? It's mine.
我就知道 Oh, I might have known.
心懷不滿的作家 A disgruntled writer.
別說是你先想出那故事 Don't tell me, you had the idea first?
不 那是我的遭遇 No. It happened to me.
抱歉 我完全聽不懂 I'm sorry, I am completely lost.
我沒戲劇背景 I don't have a theatrical background.
你不會是丹尼斯科里根吧 You're not Dennis Corrigan, are you?
你真可憐 Oh, you poor boy.
甚麼意思 How do you mean?
他在現實中真的痛失弟弟 He lost his brother in real life.
那是很可怕的事 Dreadful business, it was.
很多年前了 我跟你說過的 It was years ago, now. I told you about it.
《捕鼠器》根據那宗案來寫 It was the case The Mousetrap was based on.
只是啟發 母親 而且只是很表面 Inspired by, Mother. And loosely.
但你是帶位員 Oh, but you're an usher.
你每晚都要看那舞台劇 You had to watch that play night after night.
一定很折磨 It must've been torture.
我以為可幫到我 I thought it would help.
我弟弟死時只有六歲 He was only six when he died, my brother.
《捕鼠器》其實根據真實案件而寫 The Mousetrap is actually based on a real-life case.
被本應照顧我們的人忽視 Neglected and left for dead by the people
任我們自生自滅 who were supposed to look after us.
報紙因此大賣 但沒人關心我們 It sold a lot of newspapers, but no one cared about us.
我以為這套劇會不一樣 I thought the play would be different.
一位著名作家會講述我們的故事 A famous writer was going to tell our story.
兩兄弟相信英國的社會服務 Two brothers who put their faith in the British social services.
但當我看到阿嘉莎克莉絲蒂所做的 But when I saw what Agatha Christie had done,
利用我們的痛苦和苦難作為瘋狂殺手的動機... used our pain and suffering as a motive for a deranged killer...
我弟弟的死被貶低成低俗的插曲... my brother's death reduced to a cheap sideshow...
有兇殺案 There's been a murder?
我知道公演不完結 他不會安息 I knew he wouldn't be able to rest in peace until the play ended.
但它總不完結 But it didn't.
它就不斷 不斷 不斷公演 It just went on, and on, and on.
慶祝《捕鼠器》演了一百場仍不倒 The Mousetrap is 100, not out.
當我聽說要改編成電影 DENNIS: When I heard about the film adaptation,
我失控了 I just snapped.
沒有我便拍不成電影 明白嗎 Without me, there is no movie. You understand?
你有事嗎 老友 You got a problem, buddy?
我殺了導演阻止電影開拍 I killed the director to stop the film,
