Thinking about a time early on well Cass is still struggling to learn how to speak, where maybe she understands most of what people say to her, but she still can't make her voice form the words the way it should, and someone snaps at her about it. Maybe Barbara is frustrated with how long it's taking, or she can see the disappointment in Bruce's expression, or Tim makes a misguided joke. And she doesn't say anything, both because she can't and because she doesn't know what to say even if she could, she just retreats to her room.

Dick is the one to find her. He knocks before he enters, but he doesn't wait for an answer. He asks if it's alright for him to come in, but only after the door is already opened so she can simply nod. He sits on the bed with her, and for a long moment he doesn't say anything. When he does it's softer than Cass has ever heard from him. Maybe from anyone. "You know, Bruce and Babs, they want what's best for you, and to them that obviously means you need to learn how to speak so you can interact with people. But speaking isn't the only way to talk."

Cass frowns, but that just makes Dick smile a little. "I had a friend once who couldn't speak. His vocal cords had been cut when he was a kid, so he used sign langue to communicate."

And when Cass doesn't protest Dick goes on. He tells her about Joe, about the boy who was raised by assassins but had the heart of an artist. Who seemed to know what everyone around him was feeling and exactly how to help without having to be told. How even though the entire team learned sign langue so he could talk to them, most of the time Joe preferred to just sit and listen anyway, how he'd only interject when he had something important to say. It wasn't because he was mute, it was just the way Joe was, and that was okay. They enjoyed just having him there with them, a friendly presence and a kind smile. He stops just short of telling her how Joey died.

Dick signs every word he says as he talks, and Cass watches. Not just the signs, but Dick as well, the way he talks about his friend. The small smile despite the sadness in his eyes. Even the signs themselves seem to be caring, they're precise, but not automatic. Dick is thinking about every single one, remembering Joey with each movement.

When he's done Cass smiles in return and nods, accepting the unspoken offer.

Sign langue is still hard, it's still learning a new langue and her brain isn't prepared for that, but at least her hands don't fight her the way her mouth does. She can mimic the signs perfectly, it's just about remembering them and what they mean. Luckily Dick is always more than happy to show her.

SLEUTH (1972): Inventive, deliciously sardonic thriller, adapted by Anthony Shaffer from his stage play and starring Sir Laurence Olivier as wealthy, snobbish mystery writer Andrew Wyke and Michael Caine as Milo Tindle, an Anglo-Italian hairdresser who is having an affair with Wyke's wife. Wyke invites Milo to his country estate to offer him an unusual proposition, which turns into a far more sinister game.

Ably directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz (his last feature), it often feels like an elongated COLUMBO episode: a playfully acidic, class-conscious game of cat and mouse centered on an arrogant aristocratic prick who's confident that he's clever enough to get away with murder. To say more than that would be spoiling things.

The film's chief weakness is its extreme length — 138 minutes — but even if you find yourself getting a bit restless, it remains many orders of magnitude better than the appalling 2007 remake by Kenneth Branagh. The remake features a typically fine performance by Caine (this time as Wyke), but Jude Law is badly out of his depth as Milo, and it's made almost unendurable by Branagh's exhaustingly heavy-handed direction, singularly off-putting production design, and a dreadful Harold Pinter script that retains precisely none of the 1972 film's sublime dialogue. The 2007 version is much shorter, at just 88 minutes, but Pinter guts the story so severely that it barely makes sense unless you're familiar with the earlier version, and it's mean in all the wrong ways. (It's viciously homophobic, too.)

CONTAINS LESBIANS? This would first require the story to have female characters. VERDICT: The 1972 version is marvelous, especially if you're a COLUMBO fan, but you may long for an intermission. The 2007 version is an indefensible cinematic atrocity from which only Caine emerges with any honor intact; in a more just world, it would have ended Branagh and Pinter's careers.
