1. The Castafiore Emerald - Part 2Copy !req
2. Thundering typhoons!Copy !req
3. This is outrageous!Copy !req
4. These wretched stairs!Copy !req
5. I could have been seriously hurt, just now!Copy !req
6. Well... Blistering barnacles... I!Copy !req
7. And such language, really, Captain!Copy !req
8. Uh... I...!Copy !req
9. You would never hear such disgusting
language from madame Castafiore...!Copy !req
10. Misericordia!Copy !req
11. Has anyone seen my little gold scissors?Copy !req
12. Ah! Lost your scissors, have you?Copy !req
13. Well, I...!Copy !req
14. Well, look for them!Copy !req
15. They didn't grow wings
and fly away, did they?Copy !req
16. No, madame...Copy !req
17. Signor Wagner!Copy !req
18. Where do you think you're going?Copy !req
19. I... er... well... I...Copy !req
20. This is not a time for a
stroll in the country!Copy !req
21. As my accompanist,
I expect perfect technique.Copy !req
22. I want to hear you practicing your skillsCopy !req
23. all day long!
- Yes, Signora.Copy !req
24. And I suggest you get that step fixedCopy !req
25. before someone gets hurt,
Captain Hammock...!Copy !req
26. Whew!Copy !req
27. Hello! Is this the stone mason?Copy !req
28. Ah... Mrs Bolt?Copy !req
29. Oh, you're the man up at the Hall.Copy !req
30. Said he'd stop by, did he?Copy !req
31. No... Mr. Bolt isn't here...Copy !req
32. Young people! Always in a hurry!Copy !req
33. Oh dear! I can't findCopy !req
34. my little gold scissors anywhere!Copy !req
35. Uncle Mateo, look!Copy !req
36. Aren't they pretty! Oh, God...Copy !req
37. Where did you get those, Miarca?Copy !req
38. I found them.Copy !req
39. Help!Copy !req
40. Help!Copy !req
41. What's the matter?Copy !req
42. There was someone in my room!
I heard footsteps!Copy !req
43. Mercy! My jewels!Copy !req
44. Thank goodness! They're safe!Copy !req
45. The window was locked tight.Copy !req
46. You must've had a bad dream.Copy !req
47. Go back to bed.
There's nothing to worry about...Copy !req
48. We'd better look around, Snowy.Copy !req
49. Maybe there is an intruder
on the estate...Copy !req
50. That might explain the
missing scissors.Copy !req
51. That must be coming from
the Gypsy camp...Copy !req
52. What haunting music!Copy !req
53. We'd better be getting back, Snowy.Copy !req
54. Aaa...! ahahaha! An owl!Copy !req
55. Well, everything seems okay, Snowy.Copy !req
56. Let's go back in.Copy !req
57. Aaa...!Copy !req
58. Great snakes!Copy !req
59. My emerald!Copy !req
60. Someone's tripped on the step again.Copy !req
61. Strange! No one here...Copy !req
62. And yet the piece of marble
came loose alright...Copy !req
63. Help!Copy !req
64. What's going on?Copy !req
65. I don't know... we'd better investigate!Copy !req
66. My emerald!Copy !req
67. Oh, my emerald!Copy !req
68. What happened, Senora?Copy !req
69. The emerald that the Maharajah
of Gaipal gave me...Copy !req
70. is gone, stolen!Copy !req
71. My emerald!Copy !req
72. Think back carefully, Senora!Copy !req
73. Are you sure you didn't misplace it?Copy !req
74. No, no!Copy !req
75. I put my jewel case on the
dressing table over there!Copy !req
76. I opened it to admire my treasure.Copy !req
77. Then I left the room for
about 15 minutes.Copy !req
78. When I came back
the emerald was gone!Copy !req
79. It may have fallen down somewhere.Copy !req
80. Impossible, it was inside the case.Copy !req
81. Well, in that case, I guess...Copy !req
82. Nothing here!Copy !req
83. Eh... I guess we better call the police.Copy !req
84. Why would Wagner have
fresh mud on his shoesCopy !req
85. if he was practicing his
scales all morning?Copy !req
86. And I'd still like to know who
just fell on that broken step?Copy !req
87. Woww...!Copy !req
88. In short... if the theft were committed
by someone in the house...Copy !req
89. then there are 6 suspects.Copy !req
90. Irma, Wagner,
Nestor, Calculus, Tintin...Copy !req
91. and of course you, Captain...Copy !req
92. Are you suggesting...Copy !req
93. Wait!
Three of you can be ruled out.Copy !req
94. You, Captain, because you can't
go upstairs in your wheelchair,Copy !req
95. Tintin who was with you,Copy !req
96. and Wagner who was playing
the piano in a marathon.Copy !req
97. Yeah! Same scales over
and over and over again...Copy !req
98. That leaves Irma, Nestor
and Professor Calculus.Copy !req
99. You must be out of your mind!Copy !req
100. If not, then who!Copy !req
101. Perhaps someone we haven't thought of,
or someone we don't even know...Copy !req
102. Perhaps.
Meanwhile... with your permission...Copy !req
103. we'll question each of the
suspect separately andCopy !req
104. and in private.
- And furthermore...Copy !req
105. If you insist, I'll send Nestor in,
but you're wasting your time.Copy !req
106. Where were you
at the time of the crime?Copy !req
107. I was raking the path on the
garden near Professor CalculusCopy !req
108. when I heard Signora
Castafiore scream.Copy !req
109. I looked up at the windows and...Copy !req
110. Aha...! You admit you could...Copy !req
111. see the windows
from where you were!Copy !req
112. Certainly, Sir.Copy !req
113. I dropped my rake and
hastened towards the house.Copy !req
114. You hastened then...Copy !req
115. Ah, hastened!Copy !req
116. Uh... yes...Copy !req
117. I was busy sewing in my room...Copy !req
118. when I heard Madame screamed.Copy !req
119. I rushed into her room...Copy !req
120. just in time...
to catch her in my arms...Copy !req
121. as she fainted...Copy !req
122. Aahh..., but your mistress spent...Copy !req
123. 15 minutes outside the room!Copy !req
124. You had timeCopy !req
125. to enter her room...Copy !req
126. take the emerald...Copy !req
127. and throw it out the windowCopy !req
128. to an accomplice... say,
Nestor, for example!Copy !req
129. Right! Admit it!Copy !req
130. - Help! Help!Copy !req
131. Irma! Stop!Copy !req
132. What's going on?Copy !req
133. These beasts have accused meCopy !req
134. of stealing Madame's emerald!Copy !req
135. Do you really accuse her?Copy !req
136. Er... there is... Well... Sort of!Copy !req
137. It's a police trick that
sometimes works.Copy !req
138. After all...Copy !req
139. police work is a tricky business.Copy !req
140. Please send in Calculus!Copy !req
141. Very well, but if I were you,
I'd try a different approach this time.Copy !req
142. Enough said. Is it true thatCopy !req
143. Nestor was near you whenCopy !req
144. Signora Castafiore screamed?Copy !req
145. I've been told what happened, andCopy !req
146. I'm heartbroken for the dear lady.Copy !req
147. Just look at my pendulum!Copy !req
148. Ehm... well... er... well...Copy !req
149. to repeat my question...Copy !req
150. Exactly!Copy !req
151. It's swinging to the South-East.Copy !req
152. In fact, it's pointing in the
direction of the Gypsy camp.Copy !req
153. Gypsy camp!Copy !req
154. The gypsies are our villainsCopy !req
155. without a shadow of a doubt!Copy !req
156. You've no right to suspect them
just because they're gypsies, you know!Copy !req
157. Furthermore, I expect they've bolted by now.Copy !req
158. I don't think so... Huh?Copy !req
159. - What's the matter?
- They have left!Copy !req
160. But they were here yesterday!Copy !req
161. I told you so!Copy !req
162. They took the emerald and ran.Copy !req
163. But they won't run far.Copy !req
164. The emerald must be here.Copy !req
165. The emerald's not here.Copy !req
166. You see? Nothing?Copy !req
167. We are not thieves.Copy !req
168. Nevertheless...Copy !req
169. we're obligated to search
every last caravan.Copy !req
170. Furthermore...Copy !req
171. the last caravan must be searched.
- Precisely...Copy !req
172. No! You can't come in here!Copy !req
173. Aha! Now we've got you!Copy !req
174. No! Stop! Wait!Copy !req
175. - Hey! Get off my hat!
- No, stop!Copy !req
176. Miserable beast!Copy !req
177. How about these gold scissors?Copy !req
178. Where did they come from?Copy !req
179. I found them! They're mine!Copy !req
180. Haha... likely story!Copy !req
181. You stole them.Copy !req
182. They belong to Miss Irma.Copy !req
183. She reported the theft
before we came here.Copy !req
184. I found them! Lying under
a tall tree by the river.Copy !req
185. Officer! This is stolen property.Copy !req
186. The emerald is bound to be nearby.Copy !req
187. And there's the guilty party!Copy !req
188. I'm sure those
gypsies are innocent.Copy !req
189. Me too. But the scissors they
found are not going to help.Copy !req
190. My dear friends!Copy !req
191. I have extraordinary news!Copy !req
192. Really?Copy !req
193. No! I've just
invented the television set!Copy !req
194. You old pioneer!Copy !req
195. Precisely!
In high definition colour too.Copy !req
196. And extraordinary picture,Copy !req
197. better than the cinema...Copy !req
198. But somebody's already
invented television.Copy !req
199. Why... certainly! I invite you
all to a demonstration
in my laboratory...Copy !req
200. I call it 'Super Cuthbert Colour'.Copy !req
201. Now watch carefully.Copy !req
202. This is an historic moment.Copy !req
203. Today's news...Copy !req
204. Police confirm today that
there was a spectacularCopy !req
205. jewel theft at historicCopy !req
206. Marlinspike Hall over the weekend.Copy !req
207. Thundering Typhoons! What a coincidence!Copy !req
208. He's talking about me!Copy !req
209. The picture isn't too clear.Copy !req
210. Is that to be better?Copy !req
211. The sound... the sound...!Copy !req
212. Good isn't it? But how's this?Copy !req
213. No! The sound...!Copy !req
214. The diva Bianca Castafiore...Copy !req
215. is currently a guest at Marlinspike Hall.Copy !req
216. That's not me, is it?Copy !req
217. How ghastly!Copy !req
218. With her, of course is her famous
and exotic collection of jewellery...Copy !req
219. the most unusual of which is the emerald,
now missing and presumed stolen.Copy !req
220. Our on-the-scene reportersCopy !req
221. spoke to the detectives
in charge of the case,Copy !req
222. and send this report:Copy !req
223. Yes, it's obvious that
the gypsies who areCopy !req
224. camping in the grounds are guilty.Copy !req
225. We've searched their
caravans, and not onlyCopy !req
226. did we find a pair ofCopy !req
227. stolen scissors,Copy !req
228. but also...Copy !req
229. a trained monkey...Copy !req
230. Now, this robberyCopy !req
231. could only have been committedCopy !req
232. by a small agile creature, capable
of climbing up the wall of the house.Copy !req
233. We brought the monkey in
for questioning...Copy !req
234. but he's not talking.Copy !req
235. Stay tuned for further development.Copy !req
236. Meanwhile, in other news...Copy !req
237. Enough!Copy !req
238. Misericordia! Stop!Copy !req
239. Of course, it stillCopy !req
240. needs a little work...Copy !req
241. Snowy... I just can't believe
those gypsies are guilty.Copy !req
242. But if they didn't steal
the emerald...Copy !req
243. who did...?Copy !req
244. Oh, Snowy!Copy !req
245. Well, well, Mr. Wagner
must have the day off!Copy !req
246. That's funny.Copy !req
247. Who's playing the piano?Copy !req
248. What have you found, Snowy?Copy !req
249. Good boy! A ladder!Copy !req
250. Great snakes!Copy !req
251. A tape recorder!Copy !req
252. You're going to have some
explaining to do, Mr. Wagner...Copy !req
253. So... the ladder falls
right back in place.Copy !req
254. Go and hide, Snowy!
It won't be long now.Copy !req
255. Can I give you a hand, Mr. Wagner?Copy !req
256. No thanks! I can manage.Copy !req
257. I... er... do this for the exercise.Copy !req
258. Original, don't you think?Copy !req
259. Very!Copy !req
260. And how do you explain
the tape recorder and the piano?Copy !req
261. Look... er... please don't
tell Signora Castafiore...Copy !req
262. I can explain...Copy !req
263. Now explain!Copy !req
264. I'm a gambler, you see...Copy !req
265. and I go to the village
everyday to place my bets.Copy !req
266. But you weren't in the village when
the emerald was stolen, were you?Copy !req
267. It was you falling downstairs
that day, wasn't it?Copy !req
268. Yes, I was up in the atticCopy !req
269. and on my way back down I fell...Copy !req
270. What were you doing up in the attic?Copy !req
271. I thought I heard someone
walking around up there...Copy !req
272. so I went to investigate.Copy !req
273. Madame Castafiore heard them too,
but because she was half asleep,Copy !req
274. she thought someone was in her room.Copy !req
275. Why didn't you tell us?Copy !req
276. I wasn't sure.
It could have been a false alarm.Copy !req
277. I never did find anything.Copy !req
278. One last point. I found your footprints
under Signora's window.Copy !req
279. Very likely. I wanted to make sureCopy !req
280. no one could climb up on the ivy.Copy !req
281. Well, that explains everything.Copy !req
282. Except the footsteps in the attic.Copy !req
283. Shhh, Snowy! Listen!Copy !req
284. An owl!Copy !req
285. Well Snowy, we've solved the
mystery of Bianca's monster.Copy !req
286. But we're still no closer
to the jewel thief.Copy !req
287. Why, Captain! You're up!Copy !req
288. Yes... the doctor just left.Copy !req
289. He took off the cast!Copy !req
290. Captain! Professor!Copy !req
291. Professor!Copy !req
292. See you soon, Doctor!Copy !req
293. Captain Bangkok! What happened?Copy !req
294. It was the wheelchair. It... uh...Copy !req
295. I have some bad news for you.Copy !req
296. You have bad news?Copy !req
297. Yes, I must leave tomorrow.Copy !req
298. They're clamoring for meCopy !req
299. at La Scala in Milan to
do a Rossini opera.Copy !req
300. I'm terribly upset.Copy !req
301. Shattered!Copy !req
302. Are you sure you can't stay?Copy !req
303. I know you would like me
to stay, Captain, but alas...Copy !req
304. I've made my reservations.Copy !req
305. Yippee! Oh, happy day!Copy !req
306. What was that, Captain?Copy !req
307. Oh... happy... day!Copy !req
308. My wheelchair's gone away!Copy !req
309. Oh, happy...Copy !req
310. Goodbye, dear Captain Hatbox!Copy !req
311. It grieves me to leave you...Copy !req
312. but Rossini calls.Copy !req
313. What opera will you be singing?Copy !req
314. "La gazza ladra",
a magnificent role!Copy !req
315. Thank you again, one and all!Copy !req
316. I'll be back soon, I promise.Copy !req
317. Heh...Copy !req
318. And my poor emerald...Copy !req
319. let me know at once
if you hear anything.Copy !req
320. Of course.Copy !req
321. Dear lady, I beg you to acceptCopy !req
322. these humble roses...Copy !req
323. the first of a new variety
I have created.Copy !req
324. and have named 'Bianca'.Copy !req
325. What a sweet idea!
They're exquisite.Copy !req
326. And what perfume!Copy !req
327. Dear Professor, let me kiss you!Copy !req
328. Arrivederci!Copy !req
329. Goodbye!Copy !req
330. Come back soon!Copy !req
331. Wait a minute!Copy !req
332. That opera "La gazza ladra"...Copy !req
333. I've got it!Copy !req
334. What do you mean?Copy !req
335. Be careful!Copy !req
336. Steady there!Copy !req
337. Two bits of glass... a marble...Copy !req
338. and...Copy !req
339. the emerald.Copy !req
340. I've got it!Copy !req
341. Wonderful, Tintin!
You're a genius!Copy !req
342. There you are, gentlemen!Copy !req
343. Now all we have to do is return
the gem to Signora Castafiore.Copy !req
344. - Lovely, isn't it?
- Furthermore, it's really... Ooops!Copy !req
345. - That was close!
- It could happen to anyone!Copy !req
346. - Hang on to it this time!
- Trust me!Copy !req
347. Tintin.Copy !req
348. What made you guess
the magpie had it?Copy !req
349. The name of the opera "La gazza ladra".Copy !req
350. What about it?Copy !req
351. La Gazza ladra means
"The Thieving Magpie".Copy !req
352. Magpies will pick up anything...Copy !req
353. that sparkles or shines, like...Copy !req
354. a pair of gold scissors or... an emerald.Copy !req
355. I knew there was a magpie around here.Copy !req
356. Then when MiarkaCopy !req
357. mentioned the tall tree by the brookCopy !req
358. and magpies only nest
in the tallest trees,Copy !req
359. the rest was simple. The scissors
must have fallen out of the nest.Copy !req
360. Splendid! You've clearedCopy !req
361. the gypsies of any wrong doing.Copy !req
362. Some apologizing to do, gentlemen?Copy !req
363. Just our luck... The one time we
managed to catch the culprits,Copy !req
364. they turned out to be innocent.Copy !req
365. How true! You'd think they'd
done it on purpose.Copy !req
366. Haha! Look! That broken step has
finally been mended!Copy !req
367. But the cement's still wet. We can't
walk on it for a few days...Copy !req
368. You have to step
over it... like this.Copy !req
369. Very well, Sir.Copy !req
370. Aye, aye, Captain!Copy !req
371. Hello, who's that?Copy !req
372. - I just pop by to tell you...
- Ah, Mr. Bolt!Copy !req
373. You did a wonderful
job on the stairs...Copy !req
374. I just pop by to remind youCopy !req
375. to keep off that
step for a few days.Copy !req
376. Too bad, too!Copy !req
377. It was a lovely pair of marbles, it was!Copy !req
378. Blue blistering barnacles!Copy !req
379. The End...Copy !req
