00:02:00 Oh dear, is this another war picture?
00:02:03 Let's go back to the quiet and peaceful days before the war.
00:02:06 [Music]
00:02:11 So this is peace. So these are the tranquil days of 1939.
00:02:15 Yes, for this is the age of speed and noise so much like war you hardly notice the difference.
00:02:19 This is the day of athletic sports of all kinds.
00:02:22 [Cheering]
00:02:28 This is the day of devotion to the graceful art of dancing.
00:02:31 [Music]
00:02:35 This is the day of the worship of the beautiful wide open spaces.
00:02:39 [Music]
00:02:42 And of giving thanks for all the blessings of the green and lovely countryside.
00:02:46 This is 1939.
00:02:48 [Helicopter]
00:02:49 No, this isn't what we want either.
00:02:52 Although it's very pleasant.
00:02:54 Let's go back further still to Grandmama's day.
00:02:57 Don't you think it was so much nicer?
00:02:59 So much more stately and dignified.
00:03:02 Lazy days and gentle evenings undisturbed by any harsh note of reality.
00:03:07 [Singing]
00:03:26 Yes, these were the days.
00:03:28 Grandmama knew that her place was in the home.
00:03:30 Although Grandpa could go in for a stern life of dangerous sport.
00:03:33 [Music]
00:03:36 Women were women and they didn't forget it.
00:03:39 Even if men forgot it.
00:03:41 And when they had finished their embroidery and needed a thrill of excitement,
00:03:44 they could always unpick it and start again.
00:03:46 While their men folk roved abroad. A wheel, a wheel.
00:03:49 [Music]
00:03:53 And you needn't think they never had their moments.
00:03:55 A young man was more or less expected to sow his wild oats.
00:03:58 Always providing that there was no harvest.
00:04:01 [Music]
00:04:03 But young ladies knew nothing of all that.
00:04:05 They lived in a world apart until the day of true romance.
00:04:08 The never to be forgotten moment in a young girl's life.
00:04:11 [Music]
00:04:14 So different from modern times.
00:04:16 Before the days of petrol rationing,
00:04:18 you moderns looked upon the motor car as a most useful invention.
00:04:21 [Music]
00:04:22 It's hard to believe that the biggest thrill a Victorian girl got out of a carriage was this.
00:04:27 [Sound of a carriage moving]
00:04:32 You can't get into much trouble doing that.
00:04:34 Very little remains undiscovered about the modern girl.
00:04:37 You can see she is beautiful. You know she is no fool.
00:04:40 But there used to be a song,
00:04:42 "Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever."
00:04:45 But she was clever enough to be good.
00:04:47 And the result, you must admit, was elegant and charming.
00:04:51 [Music]
00:04:54 If she seemed at times a little shy,
00:04:56 it was because where the dashing stronger sex were concerned, she had to be so modest.
00:05:00 She is gown for the theatre.
00:05:03 And I wonder what it would be like, that play she was going to see.
00:05:07 Would it be dull and stuffy?
00:05:09 Or would she hide her blushes in the programme?
00:05:12 "They say it's very modern and terribly daring."
00:05:15 [Music]
00:05:17 "Mm-hmm. Perhaps we're going to find out just why they were called the naughty nineties."
00:05:22 "I don't think he would know."
00:05:25 "Nor would she."
00:05:28 "Nor she. No, I'm sure she wouldn't."
00:05:31 "But he might. You see, he's a duke."
00:05:34 "And if you were a duke in the nineties, you could do almost anything."
00:05:36 "Hansom!"
00:05:38 "A cab would stop for you without even considering that you could scarcely pay the fare."
00:05:42 "Bristol House."
00:05:44 To Bristol House, historic townhouse of successive generations of the Dukes of Bristol,
00:05:48 where many a lovely Duchess of Bristol had been at home for all the brilliant functions of the London season,
00:05:53 attended by kings and princesses, by the cultured, the famous and the aristocratic,
00:05:58 and even occasionally by her husband.
00:06:01 But George is a bachelor and very hard up, and so this ninth Duke of Bristol...
00:06:05 "Tenth."
00:06:06 And so this tenth Duke of Bristol finds himself in the unusual position of having accepted an invitation to a ball at his own house.
00:06:13 Most remarkable.
00:06:15 "Tell me, Your Grace, how did you lose your money?"
00:06:20 "Women."
00:06:21 "Yes, I know. I mean your big money."
00:06:23 "Big women."
00:06:25 A gay and charming scene.
00:06:30 But who is rich enough to be able to rent this great house from a duke in need of money,
00:06:34 complete with his incomparable butler parks and a devoted staff of servants?
00:06:38 Only someone exceedingly wealthy.
00:06:40 But could anyone so wealthy be also young and beautiful?
00:06:44 Surely only an American.
00:06:46 Well, here you would say would be a bride for George who would satisfy all his trustee's requirements,
00:06:52 and indeed most of George's also.
00:06:55 But only in his dreams, lying in bed in the morning, can George contemplate the idea of marriage.
00:07:01 In his waking hours the thought fills him with horror.
00:07:04 He scarcely sees her.
00:07:08 "Good evening, George. How nice of you to come."
00:07:11 "Not at all, Helen. Not at all."
00:07:14 Well, there you are.
00:07:23 All this wealth and gaiety after that would taste more acid than the pickles from which Helen's father built his fortune.
00:07:28 As it does indeed to Richard Halton, who hasn't the advantage of wealth to sweeten the taste.
00:07:33 Being a friend of George is burden enough for any man to bear.
00:07:36 And for a man of the very highest breeding and the very lowest income,
00:07:39 life is one long attempt to accomplish the impossible.
00:07:42 "Damn it, sir, that's not cricket."
00:07:53 "Poor George, it must be very sad coming back to your own house as a guest."
00:08:02 "Better return as a guest than remain as a host to a broker's man."
00:08:05 "There's nothing for it, George. We must make some money."
00:08:08 "Try to think that I'm a duke, Richard, and talk sense. Good hope."
00:08:10 "We'll drink to the woman I love."
00:08:12 "Don't be disgusting."
00:08:14 "Look, here she comes. The one on the left."
00:08:17 "Do you mean to tell me that you love Maria Wislak? Having no respect for age."
00:08:22 "George, we must join them."
00:08:26 "Well, here we are again."
00:08:28 "Somehow I'm able to control my excitement."
00:08:31 "Splendid. Shall I get you some fruit cup?"
00:08:33 "Or perhaps our dear, revered old friend, Mrs. Wislak, will lend us her slipper."
00:08:38 "I'm not your dear, revered or old friend, and I'll have to..."
00:08:41 "Naughty, naughty, that's the third time you've spoken harshly to me tonight."
00:08:44 "Don't do that. You know how I dislike it."
00:08:47 "You had a little more brain, you big-headed fool."
00:08:50 "I'm not a fool, I'm a good man."
00:08:52 "You know how I dislike it. You had a little more brain, you've been in asylum."
00:08:56 "Richard has either enjoyed your joking mentally or has eaten something indigestible."
00:09:01 "One of these days I shall write to the Times on present-day matters."
00:09:04 "That should be highly interesting."
00:09:06 "I think it will cause a sensation."
00:09:08 "That you can write a letter at all should cause a great sensation."
00:09:10 "I forgive you, Maria. Old friends are old friends."
00:09:13 "George, if you use the word 'old' to me again, I shall throw something at you."
00:09:16 "Very well, Maria, but when I reach the age of 41, I was not ashamed."
00:09:20 "My sister will be 41 in August, isn't she?"
00:09:23 "You beast!"
00:09:25 "Bounder!"
00:09:29 "Am I a bounder, Helen?"
00:09:37 "I don't think so, George. Not really."
00:09:40 "No, I don't think so either."
00:09:42 "Good evening, Helen. Good evening, Angela. Good evening, George."
00:09:45 "Good evening, Angela."
00:09:47 "I didn't know you knew her."
00:09:49 "We have a sneering acquaintance."
00:09:51 "She's also strongly fancied by my trustees."
00:09:54 "Oh, Helen."
00:09:55 "Richard, is Maria very upset?"
00:09:57 "Oh, terribly. I couldn't do anything with her. Would you go to her?"
00:09:59 "Of course. Excuse me, George."
00:10:02 "I suppose it amuses you to have made a woman cry."
00:10:05 "I said nothing that could possibly make her cry."
00:10:07 "Didn't you, in a sneering way, accuse her of being 41?"
00:10:09 "I did, but she's not crying because I said she's 41."
00:10:12 "She's crying because she is 41."
00:10:16 "Well, if you must know, I'm the same age as his sister."
00:10:19 "That damn woman can't keep her mouth shut about anything."
00:10:22 "Oh, how I dislike him."
00:10:24 "I'm sorry because I like him so much."
00:10:28 "Yes, but you wouldn't marry him."
00:10:30 "How far is it in the Hanson from here to St. George's Hannover Square?"
00:10:33 "Twenty minutes. Why?"
00:10:35 "If he asked me to marry him tonight, I'd run it in five."
00:10:38 "But if he did marry you, it'd only be for your money."
00:10:41 "Well, why not? Plenty of women have lived with him for his..."
00:10:44 "I've loved her for more years than I care to remember."
00:10:47 "Do you mean to tell me that you've loved that old..."
00:10:49 "Silence! You were about to call her by a name that would have prevented me ever speaking to you again."
00:10:53 "Have a drink. Or have you had too many?"
00:10:56 "I will have a drink, and I've not had too many."
00:10:58 "You should know, boy, I love you as a brother, but I must say I would rather see you dead than..."
00:11:02 "George, I warn you, if you say another word against Mrs. Wislak, our friendship is at an end."
00:11:07 "Very well. But you can't stop me wishing you were dead."
00:11:10 "Are you addressing me, sir?"
00:11:12 "I see your point."
00:11:13 "You'd never marry again? Not even if you loved someone terribly?"
00:11:16 "Well, I shall require to know a great deal more about my next."
00:11:19 "Well, how can you until you marry him?"
00:11:21 "I shall take him away with me for a month alone."
00:11:24 "Take him away? On approval?"
00:11:27 "Take a man away with..."
00:11:30 "But, Maria, how can you think of such a thing?"
00:11:33 "Oh, Helen, I thought you Americans were unconventional."
00:11:36 "Well, I don't think we'd go as far as that."
00:11:39 "No?"
00:11:40 "Well, our men are different. Perhaps Englishmen are less amorous, less enterprising."
00:11:45 "I shouldn't rely too much on that."
00:11:48 "Did you know her late husband, Arthur Wislak?"
00:11:51 "Did I know him? Did I watch him with murder in my heart, treating that divine creature with cruelty, neglect, and eventually die of drink?"
00:11:58 "He hated drink."
00:11:59 "Then why did he?"
00:12:00 "He chose it as the most agreeable way of being unconscious while waiting his release."
00:12:04 "George, I warn you, if you said another word..."
00:12:06 "Oh, boy, if I have in any way hurt your feelings, I apologize. Have a cigar."
00:12:11 "Now I know your apology is sincere. Is it yours?"
00:12:15 "Certainly not. It was provided by our hostess."
00:12:17 "But, Maria, is it fair to expose a man to such temptation?"
00:12:20 "Suppose his love for you overcame him and he should attempt to..."
00:12:23 "I should, of course, take a revolver."
00:12:26 "Yes, but suppose you came to care for him?"
00:12:28 "Then my aim might not be so accurate."
00:12:30 "But what is more important? Have you asked her if she loves you?"
00:12:33 "Can I? My income is 300 a year. Hers is 25,000."
00:12:38 "Oh, now, I take everything back. You have given me a reason why you are right to love her."
00:12:42 "Are you suggesting that I love her for the money?"
00:12:44 "I'm suggesting it's a reason you should."
00:12:46 "What do you think you could learn about a man in a month?"
00:12:48 "As much as I wish. But, Maria, the scandal!"
00:12:51 "Oh, I should choose someone less inclined to gossip than those men."
00:12:54 "Maria, I believe you've got someone in mind."
00:12:57 "Well, as a matter of fact, there is a man in your party tonight who within a month might surprise me."
00:13:01 "There's nothing, Boyd, Richard. You must propose to her."
00:13:04 "I haven't the courage."
00:13:05 "Ever tried brandy?"
00:13:07 "One day I sat with a bottle of brandy in front of me and recited to it the language I should use when asking her to be my wife."
00:13:13 "With the result that when I went into the room I was unable even to wish her good evening."
00:13:17 "Ah, bad luck. But, Richard, do as I say and I give you my word that a month from tonight you'll pop into her bed with a cry, 'Maria, here I am.'"
00:13:25 "George!"
00:13:27 "That is an observation which I consider most unsuitable, either here or in the place you suggest."
00:13:32 "I was speaking metaphorically."
00:13:34 "I trust, sir."
00:13:35 "You must have courage, Richard. Think what marriage to Maria means to you. Someone to be with, to talk to, no money cares, no cares of any kind."
00:13:42 "It's not for me."
00:13:43 "Think of the little ones prattling up and down the room."
00:13:46 "No, no, I take that back."
00:13:48 "Why?"
00:13:49 "Very well, if you insist."
00:13:50 "My dear George, married life to me without children is... Are you laughing, George?"
00:13:55 "No, no, I've got a cold coming up."
00:13:57 "It's the sort of thing you would laugh at."
00:13:59 "One other little thing. Please be polite to Maria."
00:14:04 "Mm, that's not a little thing, but I will help you, Richard. I'll even warm Maria up for you to make your proposal."
00:14:10 "Cigars and the drawing will not impress Maria favourably."
00:14:13 "Number 16, then, after the lancers."
00:14:16 "Charm and I'm sure."
00:14:18 "Thank you."
00:14:19 "Maria."
00:14:22 "Well?"
00:14:23 "Tonight I apparently said something quite unintentionally that hurt your feelings."
00:14:27 "Oh, well?"
00:14:28 "I'm sorry."
00:14:29 "Obviously you have been drinking."
00:14:31 "Why?"
00:14:32 "Otherwise you would never have apologised."
00:14:34 "I admit I have been drinking. I drank because I was depressed. Richard depressed me."
00:14:42 "Oh."
00:14:43 "Richard has been pointing out to me my limitations, but so gently, so understandingly, that I was compelled to listen."
00:14:50 "Oh."
00:14:52 "Until tonight I never knew the real Richard. Dear Richard."
00:14:55 "Oh."
00:14:56 "Have you lost your voice by any chance?"
00:14:58 "No, why?"
00:14:59 "It's unlike you only to be able to say, 'Oh, George.'"
00:15:02 "Ah, there you are. Let's all have some supper."
00:15:05 "You see?"
00:15:08 "Would you mind, Dr. Graham?"
00:15:13 "What's that?"
00:15:14 "May we join you?"
00:15:15 "Oh, yes, yes, certainly. I'm just going when I finish this."
00:15:20 "Dr. Graham, famous ear specialist."
00:15:22 "A great success, apparently. We were talking of Richard."
00:15:25 "You were talking of Richard?"
00:15:27 "Of his gentleness, his love of little children."
00:15:30 "How many has he got?"
00:15:31 "Richard is a bachelor."
00:15:32 "That has not answered my question."
00:15:34 "None."
00:15:35 "How do you know?"
00:15:36 "He's not that kind of a man."
00:15:37 "I trust not."
00:15:40 "And it is through Richard that tonight I have a feeling I'd like to get nearer to nature."
00:15:45 "To walk on grass, to hear the birds sing their simple songs of love."
00:15:49 "Birds don't sing at night."
00:15:51 "Perhaps not for you, Maria."
00:15:53 "Would it amuse you to accompany me, Helen?"
00:15:55 "I'd love to, George."
00:15:56 "Well, how about supper?"
00:15:57 "We are to move to eat."
00:15:59 "Besides, there's a buffet at the marquee."
00:16:03 "I'd not forgotten that."
00:16:05 "Just what were you saying to George?"
00:16:07 "I was telling him of the need men have for the affection of a good woman."
00:16:13 "Go on."
00:16:16 "I drew a little picture of returning to one's home in the evening."
00:16:19 "Where'd you be in the afternoon?"
00:16:21 "Oh, nowhere in particular."
00:16:24 "I see. Go on."
00:16:27 "And there, seated at one's dinner table, a divine lady."
00:16:32 "To whom you would address a few kind words before going out to dine with someone else."
00:16:36 "Oh, not at all. I should stay and dine with her."
00:16:39 "That's original."
00:16:41 "I've never really thanked you for letting me rest this lovely house of yours."
00:16:44 "I've never really thanked you for renting it."
00:16:47 "Somehow I hate the thought of leaving it when I go back to America."
00:16:50 "Somehow so do I."
00:16:52 "You know, Helen, I am not appreciated."
00:16:55 "You easily could be."
00:16:57 "But how?"
00:16:58 "Well, don't you ever want to do anything for anyone?"
00:17:01 "My dear, the most that can be expected from any duke is to think."
00:17:05 "Well, then, if you feel you're not being appreciated, why don't you marry?"
00:17:09 "Ah, that I will tell you."
00:17:12 "Feeling as you do, Richard, I wonder you never married."
00:17:15 "Ah."
00:17:16 "Meaning?"
00:17:17 "Well, the love of a good woman is not for me."
00:17:20 "Then why not try one of the others? There's plenty to choose from."
00:17:24 "Oh, no, you don't understand."
00:17:26 "There's only one woman, and she's too good, too beautiful, too noble for such as me."
00:17:32 "Oh, shut up."
00:17:34 "I'm sorry."
00:17:35 "How much longer are you going on beating about the bush?"
00:17:38 "Why not come out in the open like a man and say, 'Mariah, I love you.'"
00:17:41 "Will you or won't you be my wife?"
00:17:44 "I've no idea, you know."
00:17:46 "Go on, then, say it, say it."
00:17:48 "You have a sweet voice, Helen."
00:17:54 "Thank you, George."
00:17:55 "But you seldom sing. That is a great accomplishment."
00:17:59 "You were talking of marriage."
00:18:01 "Alas, yes."
00:18:03 "It has no attraction for you?"
00:18:05 "On the contrary, the husbands of no less than three women I've known have threatened me with it."
00:18:09 "No, I meant some unmarried girl who was fond of you and might make you happy."
00:18:14 "I've often thought of marriage with distaste."
00:18:17 "But there is one woman."
00:18:19 "Yes?"
00:18:20 "The one woman in the world. Beautiful, charming, gracious, intelligent."
00:18:25 "You'd marry her?"
00:18:26 "Happily. But where is she? Where?"
00:18:30 "Where, indeed?"
00:18:34 "Now tell me, Richard, do you love me?"
00:18:38 "With all my heart, with all my..."
00:18:39 "I love you, embrace us all, then."
00:18:41 "Now, then, is your object matrimony or the other thing?"
00:18:46 "I'd give ten years of my life to be your husband."
00:18:48 "Thank you, but I've no desire that our marriage ceremony should take the form of a burial service."
00:18:53 "Richard, I should like you to know I'm very fond of you."
00:18:57 "But I can't believe it. Why should you care for me?"
00:19:00 "You'd be wise not to let me dwell on that."
00:19:02 "This is too wonderful."
00:19:04 "Don't get excited. You're getting the best part first."
00:19:06 "Now, get up and sit down."
00:19:09 "Now, let's be practical. My income is 25,000 pounds a year."
00:19:15 "Many congratulations."
00:19:16 "Thank you. What's yours?"
00:19:18 "Mine? Well, it varies. Sometimes it's up, and then again it's down."
00:19:25 "Mm-hmm. What is it when it's up?"
00:19:27 "Well, you know, money means so little to me I really haven't an idea."
00:19:31 "Where do you bank?"
00:19:32 "Anywhere. I simply don't care."
00:19:34 "Fortunately, I can provide for both of us in a style to which I'm accustomed."
00:19:38 "I love you."
00:19:39 "Thank you. Now, then, what is today?"
00:19:42 "Tuesday."
00:19:43 "Very well. On Friday, we'll leave on the midday train for Scotland, where, to all intents and purposes, we shall spend a month together as married people."
00:19:51 "Right."
00:19:52 "Well?"
00:19:53 "You and I spend a month together alone as married people."
00:19:57 "Yes."
00:19:58 "You're not serious."
00:19:59 "I am."
00:20:01 "But what an extremely good idea. What an intensely good idea. But this is perfectly delightful, and the courage of it all."
00:20:10 "And if at the end of the month I find that we both feel alike, as it were, we will get married."
00:20:15 "If not, we'll have had a grand time and no harm done."
00:20:18 "None."
00:20:19 "Oh, I really must congratulate you. I never remember looking forward to anything so much, and the courage of it.
00:20:25 Oh, if there were only more women in the world like you, what a happy world the world would be."
00:20:31 "Really, George."
00:20:35 "But I feel Richard needs my protection."
00:20:37 "Oh, one more thing. Every night you'll hear the clock in the hall strike eleven."
00:20:41 "Oh, now that's original. I really must congratulate you again."
00:20:45 "Which will be the signal for you to start putting on your coat."
00:20:48 "With what idea?"
00:20:49 "With the idea of going out."
00:20:50 "Oh, but I shall have had all the exercise I need during the day."
00:20:53 "Oh, I know, the dog."
00:20:55 "On the table in the hall you'll find a lantern, which will enable you to find your way down to the boat so that you can row across to the mainland."
00:21:01 "Why should I want to go to the mainland?"
00:21:03 "That is where you'll be sleeping."
00:21:05 "Oh, so I don't sleep in the house?"
00:21:09 "You do not."
00:21:11 "Oh, how about wet nights?"
00:21:14 "I should advise you to bring a raincoat."
00:21:16 "Raincoat. You know, I must say I feel you'd learn a great deal more about me if I were actually in the house."
00:21:22 "The whole time. After all, I hope I'm a gentleman."
00:21:25 "That I should be able to decide in a month's time."
00:21:28 "Ah, number fifteen."
00:21:29 "Oh, let's sit this one out."
00:21:31 "Nonsense, I never sit out the lances. Your arm, Richard."
00:21:34 "Very hot."
00:21:44 "What do you mean?"
00:21:45 "So you and she go off alone for a month together to see if you'll be alright married."
00:21:50 "I dislike your phraseology, but the answer is, we do."
00:21:54 "What is George talking about? He's a bad influence, that man."
00:21:58 "I think they're under chanting."
00:22:00 "They look quite innocent."
00:22:03 [Music]
00:22:32 [Music]
00:22:34 "I sleep in a hotel on the mainland."
00:22:36 "You mean you leave her every night?"
00:22:38 [Music]
00:22:57 "Very hot."
00:22:58 "Not in mine."
00:22:59 [Music]
00:23:08 "You're not suggesting that I should stay in the same house at night alone with her, are you?"
00:23:11 "Why not?"
00:23:12 "How dare you."
00:23:13 [Music]
00:23:26 "I suppose it's raining."
00:23:27 [Music]
00:23:29 "I'm tired of that. I'm taking a raincoat."
00:23:32 "You haven't got one?"
00:23:33 "No, but Bruce hardly has."
00:23:35 [Music]
00:23:40 "What are you two up to?"
00:23:41 "Plotting, Maria, just plotting."
00:23:43 [Music]
00:23:54 "I trust this is not too violent for you, Maria?"
00:23:56 "No, I love it."
00:23:57 [Music]
00:23:58 "Good."
00:23:59 [Music]
00:24:02 "Look at that, George."
00:24:03 "Stop, George, stop!"
00:24:05 "Handsome."
00:24:16 "Here's one."
00:24:17 [Knocking]
00:24:21 [Knocking]
00:24:25 "I'm sorry to disturb you. What is your name?"
00:24:27 "Horace Hoggs."
00:24:28 "I'm delighted. This is Mr. Richard Halton, Mr. Horace Hoggs."
00:24:32 "How do you do? Pleased to meet you."
00:24:34 "Will you guard that for me?"
00:24:35 "Yes, certainly."
00:24:36 "Thank you very much. Hurry, Richard, hurry."
00:24:38 "Here you go."
00:24:45 [Music]
00:24:55 "Richard."
00:24:56 "Yeah?"
00:24:57 "Do you really think you can convince Maria that you'll be all right married?"
00:25:00 "I am all right."
00:25:01 "Of course, you know, you really ought to stay in the house with her."
00:25:03 "Maria will never consent. I wish you wouldn't refer to it again."
00:25:05 "Very well, but I still can't help wishing you were dead."
00:25:08 "Richard."
00:25:13 "It's a nice party."
00:25:14 "Yes, very nice."
00:25:15 "I forgot to say goodnight to Parks."
00:25:18 "Who's Parks?"
00:25:19 "My butler. Let my house for the season, let Parks for the season."
00:25:22 "George."
00:25:24 "Yes?"
00:25:25 "Bought it back and said goodnight to him."
00:25:26 "That's right."
00:25:27 "Around we go."
00:25:28 "Here you go."
00:25:29 [Music]
00:25:35 [Laughter]
00:25:38 [Music]
00:25:44 [Music]
00:25:48 "Is Mr. Parks below?"
00:25:49 "Yes, Your Grace."
00:25:50 "Good, I wish to visit him."
00:25:51 "We have arrived, Mr. Odd, sir."
00:25:55 "Thank you."
00:25:57 "Ooh."
00:26:00 "That'll be half a crown."
00:26:02 "Half a crown?"
00:26:03 "Here's the sovereign change. Say goodnight to your horse for me, will you?"
00:26:06 [Music]
00:26:13 "Good evening, Parks."
00:26:14 "Good morning, Your Grace."
00:26:15 "Mr. Halton and I would like to take a drink with you."
00:26:18 "Your room's somewhere at the back here, isn't it?"
00:26:20 "Yes, Your Grace."
00:26:21 "Near the cellar."
00:26:22 "You'll find Madam has made very few changes, Your Grace."
00:26:23 "That's very proper."
00:26:24 "Good evening, Mrs. Daggett."
00:26:25 "Good evening, Your Grace."
00:26:26 "How's it getting on with your new visit?"
00:26:27 "Well, things are very queer these days."
00:26:30 "Queer?"
00:26:31 "Hardly any noise."
00:26:32 "No."
00:26:33 "Hardly any drinking."
00:26:34 "No."
00:26:35 "Hardly any..."
00:26:36 "Oh, I'd be surprised."
00:26:37 "And we get spared regular."
00:26:38 "That's very queer."
00:26:39 "You weren't here in my time, were you?"
00:26:45 "No, Your Grace."
00:26:46 "Pity. You beast."
00:26:48 "That's very handsome of you, Parks."
00:26:50 "I know Your Grace's preference."
00:26:53 "Have another drink?"
00:26:56 "Definitely."
00:26:58 "Good."
00:27:00 "Whiskey?"
00:27:02 "Cereal?"
00:27:05 "Whiskey?"
00:27:06 "Cereal."
00:27:08 "We'll drink to Maria."
00:27:11 "That's nice of you, George."
00:27:12 "You're right at all. There you are."
00:27:13 "Thank you, George."
00:27:14 "To Maria."
00:27:16 "To Maria?"
00:27:17 "I still can't help wishing you were dead."
00:27:19 "Good help."
00:27:21 "This whiskey tastes funny."
00:27:23 "You have no palate. Taste again."
00:27:25 "It's McQuish's Highland liquor."
00:27:27 "All right. I apologize."
00:27:31 "If you apologize, I'll come to Scotland with you."
00:27:35 "Oh, no, George. I ask you not to."
00:27:37 "Give me another drink. Not so strong."
00:27:40 "All right."
00:27:41 "Whiskey?"
00:27:42 "Cereal."
00:27:44 "Whiskey?"
00:27:46 "Cereal."
00:27:48 "There you are."
00:27:49 "Thank you, George."
00:27:51 "Now you've drowned it."
00:28:00 "I mistrust you, George."
00:28:02 "Why do you want to come with me?"
00:28:04 "Oh, trustees."
00:28:06 "Marriage."
00:28:07 "Bankruptcy."
00:28:08 "Get away from it all."
00:28:10 "You'll have to sleep in a hotel."
00:28:13 "Hotel's full."
00:28:14 "It isn't."
00:28:16 "Make it full."
00:28:19 "Just a minute."
00:28:20 "You're full. I'm full."
00:28:26 "But the hotel's not full."
00:28:29 "What's the name of the hotel?"
00:28:31 "Dandronach Arms."
00:28:35 "Kyle of Loch Elsh."
00:28:37 "What's the name of the hotel?"
00:28:40 "Dandronach Arms."
00:28:44 "Kyle of Loch Elsh."
00:28:46 "Reserve."
00:28:49 "All."
00:28:51 "Rooms."
00:28:52 "Saturday."
00:28:54 "Family."
00:28:56 "Eight."
00:28:57 "Eight."
00:28:58 "Do you think of a name?"
00:29:00 "Twelve."
00:29:02 "Oh, yes. Very good."
00:29:04 "No, no. American name."
00:29:07 "All hotels impressed by Americans."
00:29:09 "Silas K."
00:29:12 "Must be Silas K."
00:29:14 "Oh, yes. Very good."
00:29:15 "Silas K."
00:29:18 "McQuillis."
00:29:21 "That reminds me."
00:29:23 "Give me another drink."
00:29:26 "Who says birds don't sing at night?"
00:29:28 "Good morning, Parks."
00:29:37 "Good morning, madam."
00:29:38 "Lovely party, don't you think?"
00:29:40 "Yes, madam."
00:29:41 "I thought everything was perfect."
00:29:42 "They all stayed on and on."
00:29:44 "Yes, madam."
00:29:45 "And that's always a good sign, isn't it?"
00:29:46 "Indeed it is, madam."
00:29:47 "In fact..."
00:29:48 "Yes, Parks?"
00:29:49 "Some of them haven't gone yet."
00:29:51 "Yes, madam."
00:29:52 "I'm sure they'll be back."
00:29:53 "Yes, madam."
00:29:54 "They haven't gone yet."
00:29:55 "Haven't gone yet?"
00:29:56 "Well, where are they?"
00:29:58 "What is the matter with you, Richard?"
00:30:21 "Why are you so nervous?"
00:30:22 "I'm all right, ma'am."
00:30:23 "I'm glad to see you've brought your raincoat."
00:30:25 "Yes, I hope I shan't have to use it, ma'am."
00:30:27 "If you're still cherishing the hope that you're going to stay in the house with me, you're very much mistaken."
00:30:32 "Oh, no, ma'am, I'm only cherishing the hope that it won't rain."
00:30:35 "The hope that it won't rain."
00:30:36 "We're off."
00:31:01 "Oh, dear, for goodness' sake, stop fussing, Richard. You're making that gentleman most uncomfortable."
00:31:05 "Excuse me, sir, I hope we haven't bothered you too much."
00:31:08 "Not at all, madam."
00:31:09 "Thank you. Did you remember to bring..."
00:31:11 "Did you remember to bring..."
00:31:12 "Here we are. One of your hats, Maria, I believe."
00:31:40 "Goodbye, Maria. Pleasant holiday to you. I'm afraid we shan't meet till it's over."
00:31:44 "If then, goodbye."
00:31:46 "Goodbye. Hurry with the luggage, Richard."
00:31:48 "I shall expect you in the morning to breakfast at 8.30. You will find the dinghy by the jetty, and you can row yourself across."
00:31:59 "Yes, Maria. I'm looking forward to our first day together, alone."
00:32:03 "You haven't any rooms, have you?"
00:32:06 "No."
00:32:07 "Good."
00:32:09 "Stop, stop!"
00:32:10 "What's happened? Is anything the matter?"
00:32:12 "The hotel is full. Not a room left."
00:32:14 "Richard, did you forget to reserve a room for yourself?"
00:32:17 "He did not forget. They received his wire, but too late. McQuilsh has them all."
00:32:22 "McQuilsh?"
00:32:23 "Silas K. McQuilsh, his wife and six children."
00:32:26 "I must look into this. Excuse me."
00:32:31 "Excuse me."
00:32:32 "Have you no accommodation whatever?"
00:32:45 "We're full."
00:32:46 "Oh, but did you not receive a telegram from this gentleman?"
00:32:48 "Mr. McQuilsh?"
00:32:49 "No, no. Richard Horton. He says he sent one."
00:32:52 "Ah, he did. We're full."
00:32:54 "Have you no odd corner where I can stand up and sleep like a horse?"
00:32:57 "Why, Maria!"
00:32:59 "Oh, Helen."
00:33:00 "Why, Helen, what on earth are you doing here?"
00:33:03 "Darling, I've been trying to reach you. The McQuilshes are over from the States and I'm showing them round."
00:33:08 "I told Silas he simply had to see your island."
00:33:11 "Did you receive a wire from Mr. McQuilsh?"
00:33:15 "I... Unfortunately, your friends, the McQuilshes, have taken all the rooms and the hotel's full anew."
00:33:20 "Well, as it happens, that can be fixed."
00:33:22 "Silas has had to go to a conference in Glasgow and the family won't be here for two or three days."
00:33:27 "I'm the advance guard. Richard and George can have their rooms."
00:33:32 "Splendid!"
00:33:33 "Splendid."
00:33:34 "One of the rooms Mr. McQuilsh reserved was for me and I thought that..."
00:33:38 "Mr. McQuilsh reserved no rooms. There were no rooms left for Mr. McQuilsh to reserve."
00:33:43 "We're full. The new."
00:33:45 "The new."
00:33:46 "The new."
00:33:47 "If you'll excuse me, I'll have my tea."
00:33:51 [door opens]
00:33:52 [music]
00:34:14 "Hurry along, Richard. Don't lag behind."
00:34:17 [music]
00:34:36 "You will guard this very carefully. It contains my old friend Mrs. Wislak's favorite toque."
00:34:41 "Tell me, Marat, which is the late Mr. Wislak?"
00:34:46 "Oh, George, please."
00:34:48 "Mrs. McQuilsh, are the rooms ready?"
00:34:50 "You said in your letter it was only you and a guest."
00:34:53 "Well, that's quite right, but..."
00:34:54 "You said nothing about the two gentlemen."
00:34:56 "I know. That happened afterwards."
00:34:57 "Afterwards? Is it your honeymoon you're on?"
00:35:00 "Oh, nonsense. I'm not married. Nobody's married."
00:35:03 "Go to the kitchen."
00:35:05 [music]
00:35:12 "Shut the door."
00:35:13 [door closes]
00:35:14 "Will you kindly explain?"
00:35:16 "I don't have to explain anything to you, Mrs. McQuilsh."
00:35:19 "Please see to the luggage."
00:35:21 "I'll take no part in your plans."
00:35:23 "You'll be here two weeks and you'll do as you're told, or you won't receive a penny."
00:35:27 "Bring me a bottle of whiskey."
00:35:28 "Oh, I'll have nothing."
00:35:30 "No, you won't. Not a penny."
00:35:32 "Very well. I'll stay. But mind you, I'll be watching and biding my time."
00:35:38 "Bring me a bottle of whiskey."
00:35:39 "I'm the one to give orders in this house."
00:35:41 "The whiskey will be unpacked and locked up in due course."
00:35:45 "I like your little cottage, Maria. It's so simple."
00:35:49 "Thank you, George. I'm glad you like it."
00:35:51 "Where'd you get the staircase?"
00:35:53 "Arthur picked it up in Venice on the first night of our honeymoon."
00:35:57 "Picked it up on the first night of your honeymoon? What a man."
00:36:03 "Unpack for me, will you?"
00:36:04 "Yes, mistress."
00:36:05 "Mistress? Not yet."
00:36:08 "It's a nightdress."
00:36:16 "I hope you'll find your bed comfortable."
00:36:29 "Eh? Oh, I can't use that very much."
00:36:31 "You ought to be ashamed of yourself."
00:36:37 "Can't you get me some whiskey?"
00:36:59 "I can see through it."
00:37:01 "Come away."
00:37:03 "Richard, there's a speck of dust in my eye. Will you kindly remove it?"
00:37:15 "Pack your things."
00:37:29 "Richard, count the silver."
00:37:35 "Well, is dinner ready?"
00:37:37 "No."
00:37:38 "Don't be a fool, George. All the servants have left."
00:37:40 "Well, we'll have to manage ourselves. I'll cook. You and Helen, I know, will help."
00:37:44 "Delighted, delighted, Maria."
00:37:45 "George, of course, will be utterly useless."
00:37:47 "On the contrary, Maria, you'll find I'm incredibly useful."
00:37:50 "I'm at my best at beds, I welcome washing up, and I'm a dab at dusting."
00:37:54 "You can leave everything to me."
00:38:06 "I'm just 17, and I've never been..."
00:38:18 "I'm just 17."
00:38:25 "I'm just 17."
00:38:32 "I'm nervous something's happened to George."
00:38:34 "I'm nervous that something hasn't."
00:38:36 "Having spent three weeks practically alone with him, I wonder you can tolerate his miserable selfishness."
00:38:41 "Well, he's completely unconscious of it."
00:38:45 "Richard's been a long time gone to the village."
00:38:47 "Well, it's a long pull there and back."
00:38:49 "Now, there's the kindest, sweetest man I've ever met."
00:38:52 "You don't think he's merely giving a good impression?"
00:38:54 "Well, you haven't left much undone to find out if he has any weaknesses, have you, darling?"
00:38:59 "Are you suggesting that I haven't been nice to him?"
00:39:01 "How could I, when he always describes you as an angel?"
00:39:05 "He probably knew you'd repeat it to me."
00:39:15 "Oh, thank heaven you're safe."
00:39:17 "Why, Helen, did you think something had happened to me?"
00:39:19 "Well, I did, rather."
00:39:20 "You see, when you went out and I asked you, as there were no servants, to be back at one for lunch..."
00:39:24 "Well, naturally, when two o'clock came, I began to think something terrible must have happened."
00:39:28 "Oh, that's very charming of you, Helen, but I don't in the least mind having lunch late."
00:39:32 "Is it ready? I'm very hungry."
00:39:35 "Dinner's been ready for over an hour."
00:39:36 "Really? I hope it isn't spoiled."
00:39:38 "I'll get it for you, George, dear."
00:39:40 "Well, I'll have it."

00:41:43 In the cellar there's some champagne,
00:41:45 Moselle, hop.
00:41:47 Please let me fetch it for you.
00:41:49 Maria, you know I never drink at lunch.
00:41:50 Oh, but I want you to.
00:41:52 I want you to let me fetch it for you.
00:41:53 If you'll allow me to say so, I find your joke singularly unfunny.
00:41:56 Would you like some rice pudding?
00:41:58 To say I would like some rice pudding would be both inaccurate and insincere.
00:42:02 To say that I'm hungry and will eat some isn't an entirely different matter.
00:42:05 Where's the cream?
00:42:06 There is no cream.
00:42:07 What, no cream?
00:42:08 George.
00:42:09 Maria.
00:42:10 Look at me.
00:42:11 Does my face express anything to you?
00:42:15 No.
00:42:16 Do you know what would give me more pleasure than anything in the world?
00:42:20 I can't imagine.
00:42:21 To rub your nose in the rice pudding.
00:42:23 You should try to avoid crudity, Maria.
00:42:26 I'm afraid I haven't put enough milk in it.
00:42:28 I agree, but what it lacks in milk, it makes up for in price.
00:42:31 Throw it at him.
00:42:32 Throw it at him.
00:42:33 I can quite see why you don't keep your servants, Maria.
00:42:35 George, please.
00:42:36 Are you suggesting that it's my fault that my servants left me?
00:42:38 I'll put it another way.
00:42:39 I suggest that one has to like you very much to remain in the same house with you, Maria.
00:42:44 Just one second.
00:42:45 Ouch!
00:42:47 Come on.
00:42:48 Richard, you must be quite exhausted.
00:43:04 Oh, thank you, Helen.
00:43:05 I am rather.
00:43:06 Where's Maria?
00:43:07 In the kitchen.
00:43:08 She all right?
00:43:09 Well, of course she's all right.
00:43:10 That is not true.
00:43:11 Richard, my dear fellow, I have some very bad news for you.
00:43:13 You mean she's annoyed with me for being so long?
00:43:15 No, no, no.
00:43:16 Listen, listen.
00:43:17 Far worse.
00:43:18 What?
00:43:19 What do you think?
00:43:20 She pulled my nose.
00:43:21 Why isn't that damn thing bleeding?
00:43:22 Why did she pull your nose?
00:43:23 I've no idea.
00:43:24 It doesn't seem to have improved it.
00:43:25 So this is the return I get for coming up here to help you win her, hmm?
00:43:27 Now let me tell you something.
00:43:28 I haven't got a chance in the world of winning her.
00:43:30 And even if I had, it would be in spite of you at least 50 times.
00:43:33 I don't want to hear any more.
00:43:34 I shall go outside and read.
00:43:35 Give me my newspaper.
00:43:36 I didn't have time to get it.
00:43:37 You mean to say you haven't brought me my time?
00:43:38 I have not.
00:43:39 Of all the selfish devils.
00:43:40 Oh, I've forgotten to send Maria's telegram.
00:43:44 Come on, Manchu.
00:43:45 Oh, there you are at last, Richard.
00:43:47 I hope you remembered to send my telegram.
00:43:49 Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
00:43:50 I'm afraid I didn't.
00:43:51 Really?
00:43:52 It's too bad of you.
00:43:53 Do you realize I shall have nothing to read for two or three days?
00:43:55 Oh, I know.
00:43:56 I can't tell you how sorry I am.
00:43:57 Well, if I'd known you weren't going to send it, I'd have gone myself.
00:44:00 I noticed you brought all the things you want.
00:44:02 Tell her to go to hell.
00:44:07 What did you say?
00:44:08 Tell her to go to hell.
00:44:10 What?
00:44:11 I said you look tired and not at all well.
00:44:13 Nonsense.
00:44:14 Oh, I'm all right, really I am.
00:44:16 He's quite all right, aren't you?
00:44:17 Yes, of course.
00:44:18 Oh, tell me, something I can do to make up?
00:44:20 Why, I could match you his little bath.
00:44:22 Think you could?
00:44:23 Oh, yes, of course.
00:44:25 I have a way with animals.
00:44:26 They take to me, you know.
00:44:27 How you can hope to impress Maria favorably by ill-treating her little dog.
00:44:36 I don't know.
00:44:38 I bent down in a friendly way, nothing more than the little beast bit me.
00:44:41 Oh, what's the use?
00:44:42 Ah!
00:44:43 Give me that, Richard.
00:44:44 It's lucky for you that I feel particularly good tempered tonight.
00:44:47 What caused that?
00:44:48 Drink, food, or money?
00:44:50 None of those.
00:44:51 I have decided to make Helen a faithful husband.
00:44:54 Jolly decent of you.
00:44:55 Well, it's the most unusual thing in our family.
00:44:57 I agree.
00:44:58 Yes, I've been watching Helen carefully.
00:45:01 And I've come to the conclusion that she's a very good wife.
00:45:04 I agree.
00:45:05 And I've come to the conclusion that she's a fit and proper person to be the Duchess of Bristol.
00:45:10 Well, does she think you're a fit and proper person to be the Duke?
00:45:12 Tonight, after a simple meal, a glass of wine, I hope, and a cigar.
00:45:17 Where do you hide your cigars?
00:45:19 I only brought 50, very considerate.
00:45:21 I only smoke them when you're not there.
00:45:23 You mean devil.
00:45:24 As I was saying, tonight, after a simple meal, et cetera, I shall ask her to become my wife.
00:45:30 I have the experience that after a meal, simple or otherwise, you invariably go to sleep.
00:45:34 Sleep? On this, my night of romance? Sleep?
00:45:38 Ha!
00:45:39 [snoring]
00:45:53 [singing]
00:46:03 Damn it, is there no peace in this house?
00:46:05 I agree.
00:46:06 That's very, very interesting.
00:46:08 Oh, Maru, I'm terribly sorry. You frightened me. I was asleep.
00:46:12 Really?
00:46:13 Oh, you know how one says things when one's half unconscious.
00:46:16 The last man I married was frequently in that condition.
00:46:19 I found that was the only time he spoke the truth.
00:46:21 But you know I didn't mean it.
00:46:22 You know I say it.
00:46:23 Well, good heavens, woman, I...
00:46:24 Don't call me woman and don't shout at me. I'm not deaf.
00:46:27 I'm sorry, Maru.
00:46:28 And if you must smoke cigars, which I've told you I hate, kindly don't drop your ash on the floor.
00:46:33 Now get something and clean it up.
00:46:35 Yes, darling.
00:46:37 [piano note]
00:46:46 There's another bit there.
00:46:49 [piano note]
00:46:53 Why, Richard, what are you doing?
00:46:55 Sweeping up George's cigar ash.
00:46:58 I'm sorry to have interrupted your after-dinner nap, Richard.
00:47:01 Since you're awake now, perhaps you've no objection to my going on practicing.
00:47:05 No, of course not, Mariah.
00:47:07 Thank you.
00:47:08 [piano music]
00:47:09 I can't understand it.
00:47:11 Before I came here, she always gave me the impression that she liked me.
00:47:15 It's too bad, Al.
00:47:17 What do you suggest I should do?
00:47:19 Tell her to go to hell.
00:47:21 What?
00:47:22 Tell her to go to H-E-L-L.
00:47:24 Oh, I couldn't do...
00:47:25 [piano music]
00:47:30 Richard, when I'm married, you can live with us.
00:47:33 I'll even insist on Helen making you a small allowance.
00:47:35 Certainly not.
00:47:36 How much?
00:47:37 Well, Helen's a very well-to-do girl.
00:47:40 Five shillings a week.
00:47:41 [piano music]
00:47:46 Why, Helen.
00:47:48 What a charming answer to my thoughts.
00:47:51 You were thinking of me, George.
00:47:53 Indeed I was.
00:47:54 [piano music]
00:47:56 Do you remember this music?
00:47:58 Yes, I know it very well.
00:48:00 Do you remember where you heard it last?
00:48:02 Mmm, I've heard it so often, you know.
00:48:04 Oh.
00:48:05 [piano music]
00:48:06 You don't mind cigars?
00:48:08 No, I like them.
00:48:09 Ah, that's why you're so delightful, so sympathetic.
00:48:12 You always seem to understand.
00:48:14 I hope you'll always think so, George, dear.
00:48:16 I shall. Believe me.
00:48:18 Helen, I'm anxious to tell you something that's long been in my mind.
00:48:24 Please do.
00:48:26 I beg of you not to consider it the impulse of youth.
00:48:29 I won't, George, dear.
00:48:31 Very well.
00:48:32 [piano music]
00:48:34 There is only one woman in the world I would ask to be the Duchess of Bristol.
00:48:38 That's very interesting.
00:48:40 And if you ask me who she is, I will tell you.
00:48:44 Who is she, George?
00:48:46 You, Helen.
00:48:48 I'm very touched and very flattered.
00:48:51 And I am very happy.
00:48:53 [piano music]
00:49:00 Ah, thank you, George.
00:49:03 I suppose there's only one woman in this world who would refuse to be the Duchess of Bristol.
00:49:08 And if you ask me who she is, I will tell you.
00:49:11 Who is she, then?
00:49:13 Me, George, dear.
00:49:15 Do I hear correctly?
00:49:17 You're hearing it perfect.
00:49:18 You refuse to be the Duchess of Bristol?
00:49:20 I do.
00:49:21 May I ask why?
00:49:23 Only because you happen to be the Duke.
00:49:28 Are you insulting me, Helen?
00:49:30 Not nearly as much as you've insulted me.
00:49:33 What do you mean?
00:49:35 You should have only asked me for my money.
00:49:37 You should not have included me with it.
00:49:39 I emphatically deny that I asked you to be my wife merely on account of your money.
00:49:43 No.
00:49:44 No, and I'd have you know there are many women who would be delighted to marry me.
00:49:46 I'm sure there are many women who would have loved to have been the Duchess of Bristol.
00:49:50 Frankly, I wanted to myself, until I spent three weeks with you here.
00:49:58 May I give you a piece of advice, George?
00:50:00 Marry Mariah.
00:50:02 How dare you?
00:50:03 For sheer selfishness, you'll both win the cup outright.
00:50:05 Do you mean to tell me that I'm anything like Mariah?
00:50:07 If she doesn't get away about everything, she sucks.
00:50:09 So do you.
00:50:10 If Richard doesn't wait on her hand and foot, she's...
00:50:12 I've never allowed Richard to wait on me once.
00:50:14 Only because you were too busy allowing meat.
00:50:17 I thought you liked it.
00:50:19 Anyway, yours is a grand position.
00:50:21 I envy you.
00:50:23 It's something for a profiteer's daughter to have refused a Duke.
00:50:28 George, many years ago, there was a butcher's shop.
00:50:31 An august person passing it one day was not attracted by the meat in the window, but by the butcher's wife.
00:50:38 The butcher, with an ambitious eye to a knighthood, encouraged him to pass it frequently.
00:50:44 With the result, he became a baronet.
00:50:47 Now, the butcher's wife was encouraged.
00:50:50 She, too, acquired an ambition.
00:50:52 So she left the butcher.
00:50:54 With the result, her son was born a Duke.
00:50:59 So far as I can see, the only difference between our two families is...
00:51:03 My father only profiteered in pickles.
00:51:06 You are divine, George, dear.
00:51:18 I hope I shall always know you.
00:51:21 What are you laughing at?
00:51:23 If ever another girl falls in love with you, marry her the next day.
00:51:29 I'm not going to marry you.
00:51:31 I'm not going to marry you.
00:51:33 I'm not going to marry you.
00:51:35 I'm not going to marry you.
00:51:37 I'm not going to marry you.
00:51:39 I'm not going to marry you.

00:52:07 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:09 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:11 I'm not going to marry you.

00:52:19 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:21 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:23 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:25 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:27 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:29 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:31 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:33 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:35 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:37 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:39 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:41 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:43 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:45 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:47 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:49 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:51 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:53 I'm not going to marry you.
00:52:55 I'm not going to marry you.

00:53:07 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:09 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:11 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:13 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:15 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:17 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:19 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:21 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:23 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:25 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:27 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:29 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:31 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:33 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:35 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:37 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:39 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:41 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:43 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:45 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:47 I'm not going to marry you.
00:53:49 What on earth are you talking about?
00:53:51 Don't tell me I'm a liar because I'm not.
00:53:53 Do you know what she said when I asked her to marry me?
00:53:55 She said I'm an ass, I'm conceited, I'm selfish, I nag.
00:53:57 I'm the descendant of a...
00:53:59 No, no.
00:54:01 I'll tell you who I am.
00:54:03 Or she says I am.
00:54:05 I've never been so disappointed in anybody in all my life.
00:54:07 Everything would have been all right if your old woman hadn't started this unapproval business.
00:54:09 Are you referring to Mrs. Wisdak?
00:54:11 In the last three weeks, Helen's found out a thousand things about me and she doesn't like one of them.
00:54:15 I'm leaving tomorrow in the midday train.
00:54:17 Did you love her, George?
00:54:19 How could a man harassed to death with financial troubles as I am concentrate on love?
00:54:23 It's unreasonable, Richard.
00:54:25 Anyway, you go and get your old woman to turn you down and see how you like it.
00:54:27 Thank you. I have more sense than you have.
00:54:29 I'm not risking it.
00:54:31 I'm leaving with you.
00:54:33 Coward.
00:54:35 Not at all. I want to save her the embarrassment of telling me I failed her.
00:54:37 Are you better?
00:54:45 Are you better?
00:54:47 Please don't shout at me, Maria.
00:54:49 I wish to tell you that your behavior was perfectly disgraceful.
00:54:51 And shall I tell you why my behavior was perfectly disgraceful?
00:54:53 Why?
00:54:55 I wish to be known that I've not one thing in common, nor am I in the least like...
00:54:57 George!
00:54:59 Very well, Richard. For your sake, I won't.
00:55:01 But I'm writing to you, Maria.
00:55:03 Your hand is all wet, Richard.
00:55:09 I'm sorry, Maria. I was about to wash up.

01:00:23 Of course, Helen. What?
01:00:25 The colour of my eyes.
01:00:27 What a funny question. Green, of course.
01:00:29 How observant you are.
01:00:31 Thank you, Richard.
01:00:33 Tomorrow. Tomorrow.

01:01:00 - Not a sound.
01:01:22 Not a sound.
01:01:26 - I hardly believed they were in the house.
01:01:27 - Well, how dare they stay here?
01:01:29 - Well, you can't expect them to wait
01:01:30 on a cold railway platform.
01:01:32 - Why not?
01:01:33 To think that I brought that brute here
01:01:37 to see if I liked him.
01:01:38 And he has the audacity to say he doesn't like me.
01:01:41 - My stomach is cold, my head is hot,
01:01:43 my arteries are hardening.
01:01:45 Only alcohol will get me on the train.
01:01:47 - Nonsense.
01:01:48 Never again do I raise a finger.
01:01:50 Besides, you shouldn't have drunk all the cookies, Harry.
01:01:53 - I would not have asked you, Richard,
01:01:55 were it not for the fact that I knew
01:01:56 those extremely unpleasant women.
01:01:58 As it is, I shall die standing.
01:02:01 - I'm not sure which of us is the luckier.
01:02:03 I, to have lost a vulgar little man,
01:02:06 or you, to have avoided marrying a congenital idiot.
01:02:09 Well, George isn't entirely an idiot.
01:02:11 - I quite agree.
01:02:12 - What do you want?
01:02:14 - The rain is now coming through the roof in 15 places.
01:02:17 - Well, what of it?
01:02:18 (metal clanging)
01:02:20 - We have only 14 receptacles.
01:02:22 - Well?
01:02:23 - What do you suggest?
01:02:24 - I suggest that you will find the railway platform
01:02:26 far less uncomfortable than my house.
01:02:28 - Well, Richard and I have talked it over
01:02:29 and decided we'll find it exactly the same.
01:02:31 - Then why not get Richard to mend the roof?
01:02:32 - I don't think he'd agree.
01:02:33 Ever since he told you the truth about yourself,
01:02:35 he's so conceited there's no holding him.
01:02:37 - Is he boasting about that?
01:02:38 - Rather.
01:02:39 Now he's bragging that one day
01:02:40 he'll turn you into a decent woman.
01:02:42 - How dare he?
01:02:43 - Well, he says it can be done.
01:02:44 He's very childish today.
01:02:45 Mrs. Wislak, would you give me the key
01:02:50 of the alcohol cupboard?
01:02:51 - I will not.
01:02:52 - Did you have that brandy and sodas I told you?
01:02:54 - She whom you once loved refuses to cough up the key.
01:02:57 - Give me the key of that cupboard
01:02:58 which should never be locked.
01:02:59 - I'll do nothing of the sort.
01:03:00 - Give it to me, I tell you.
01:03:02 - No.
01:03:03 - Then you place me in the hideous position
01:03:05 of having to reveal myself as a man
01:03:07 who has always known where it was.
01:03:09 - You mean to say that all this time
01:03:16 you've had access to the liquor without telling me?
01:03:18 - You had your cigars.
01:03:20 And it's only because you're cold that I'm relenting.
01:03:22 - Sir.
01:03:23 - Helen.
01:03:25 - Yes?
01:03:26 - Be good enough to get George a small brandy and soda.
01:03:30 Better go and get ready.
01:03:31 - How dare you whisper to my late fiancee?
01:03:34 - Ah.
01:03:34 - You libertine, blowing kisses to a girl
01:03:38 young enough to be your daughter.
01:03:40 - Mrs. Wislak, for me to have been Helen's father,
01:03:43 I should have had to have been an enterprising boy of 14.
01:03:47 - 14.
01:03:48 - How long?
01:03:54 - Four minutes.
01:03:55 - In the kitchen.
01:03:56 - Go down the back stairs.
01:03:57 - Four minutes.
01:03:58 - Mrs. Wislak.
01:04:02 - Araya, I don't want to speak to you, but I must.
01:04:05 - I don't want to speak to you and I won't.
01:04:06 - Stop.
01:04:08 You love Richard?
01:04:08 - Shh, don't shout.
01:04:09 - Do you love Richard?
01:04:11 - Yes, you beast.
01:04:12 Must you shout the facts of life outside Richard's bedroom?
01:04:15 Come to my room.
01:04:16 (dramatic music)
01:04:19 - I never thought I would willingly enter here.
01:04:25 Please be seated.
01:04:29 I feel less frightened of you when you're sitting down.
01:04:31 - What have you got to say?
01:04:32 - Are you prepared to call a truce for 10 minutes?
01:04:34 - The reason?
01:04:35 - Love.
01:04:35 - Five minutes.
01:04:36 - Very well.
01:04:37 In a few hours, Richard and I will have left this house
01:04:38 forever.
01:04:39 - Thank heaven.
01:04:40 - Stop pretending.
01:04:41 - Well, surely a woman's entitled to some modesty.
01:04:43 - Not when you're about to lose your loved one.
01:04:44 - I close my eyes, I see a divine face, her little hands.
01:04:48 I am in love.
01:04:49 - With yourself, perhaps.
01:04:50 - Shut up.
01:04:51 (dramatic music)
01:04:54 - Out.
01:04:57 What are you doing?
01:05:09 Kindly put down my nightdress.
01:05:11 - It's a nightdress no longer.
01:05:12 It's a flag of truce.
01:05:13 Sit down.
01:05:14 - Now, to continue.
01:05:16 I propose to stay here and keep Richard too.
01:05:19 - Oh.
01:05:20 - In such moments, damnable as it is,
01:05:22 we must forget the word honor.
01:05:23 - That should be easy for you.
01:05:25 - Aye.
01:05:26 - I beg your pardon.
01:05:26 - Granted.
01:05:27 Now, I thought of a way to win them back.
01:05:30 - Oh.
01:05:31 - Maria, I imagine few men have been in love with you.
01:05:34 - Ah.
01:05:35 - I beg your pardon.
01:05:36 - Granted.
01:05:37 - Of one thing I am certain.
01:05:39 I must never let Helen see my heart is broken.
01:05:43 I have a pain here.
01:05:45 - Wind.
01:05:46 I beg your pardon.
01:05:48 - Granted, but you try me very hard, Maria.
01:05:50 Now, what I suggest is that we shall be so pleasant
01:05:53 and friendly and even affectionate to each other
01:05:56 that Richard will not dare to leave me here with you.
01:05:58 If we show them a united front,
01:06:00 we'll lose confidence.
