00:00You
00:30You
01:01You
01:13Well Papa you can ride
01:22You taught me you wanted to learn Jenny I
01:26I tried to teach your sister to
01:29Clara only cares about clothes and her stupid little marquee. Does your mother know he's stupid. Of course. No, he's a marquee
01:35He can't be she only dislikes it because he's poor. I
01:40Don't know. Well, I suppose you'd be caring for some poor marquee yourself one of these days
01:47I'm getting a little tired of Paris
01:50Wish you came to see us more often. Oh, I know you don't
01:56I told you that oh, it's all right. The others don't even guess
02:04Getting to be a very clever young girl Jenny does your mother know that
02:10Mama doesn't know anything. Come on. I'll race
02:14Revolution is a very terrible thing girls
02:16All the dear Emperor's beautiful things simply handed out of the palace windows and auctioned off in the garden
02:22I went to see it
02:24Still managed to get the dinner service mama and brought it home in a wheelbarrow
02:27I don't think you can have what very much well, not just at that moment
02:31Yeah, of course and I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun
02:34I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun
02:36I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun
02:38I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun
02:40I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun
02:43At that moment what I felt was it was better his friend should have his things than his enemies
02:48But afterwards I felt well friends and he was such a friend to us. He wasn't a friend to me
02:53I never met him. I know love. I wish you had he was so wonderful. So
03:00Such a man. I'm not sure it wasn't a good thing. He was deposed
03:04Sorry, you're an American remember. I don't see what difference that makes Papa
03:08I think you sometimes forget you're the citizen of the Republic and your mother. Yes, indeed
03:13We threw off the monstrous tyranny of Kings years ago. You're a very bad influence on Jenny Papa
03:18Mom, and I've been trying to make her fit for decent society and along you come with your New York conversation
03:24New York is where I happen to make our living
03:26Yes, but we don't have to live there. Paris is the only place to bring up girls
03:31I realized that at once when your father and I first came here
03:34Only it's not what it once was
03:37Without the Emperor Napoleon III
03:39Well, no, it isn't Jenny. Oh, I don't know. I do
03:44Clara and I have noticed many very sad differences my dear. Well, you find Paris all that sad and you're both so stuck on royalty
03:51Why don't you try England? They haven't had a revolution there
03:54Yeah, I suppose that's why they're so snobbish about Americans
03:59We had a marvelous time at Cowes last year. Everyone was very nice to us. I like England
04:04Cowes is charming of course, but it's only a little place to go for the summer. Oh seems gay enough to me
04:09What do you want an invitation to Windsor Castle? Oh Papa the Queen wears black all the time and she never goes out
04:15Yeah
04:17Girls your father is beginning to be humorous. I think it's time we left him to his cigar
04:34Oh
04:47My family
04:48Now you can see why I'm getting tired of Paris Papa. I think I shall die if I don't get a change of air
04:54So we shall go to Cowes again this summer, shan't we? Of course you shall and you'll come too
05:00Please there's nothing I'd like better, but New York in August isn't like Paris Jenny. The men go on working
05:07and playing well
05:10little perhaps
05:14But this summer
05:15It's going to be mostly work
05:17poor Papa
05:19You make it sound as though we shouldn't go to Cowes. Oh nonsense. There's nothing I like better than to see you girls
05:24Enjoying yourselves. That's what I do it for. I'd like to see you happy. Oh, well, I always am. I'm not like Clara
05:29No, you're not not at all
05:32Clara
05:33Well, she falls in and out of love every six weeks, but you're not like that at all. How do you know?
05:40You're like your mother when you fall in love
05:43It'll be very dangerous
05:45For me or for the man?
05:47You weren't born to love lightly must be
05:50Way down or nothing
05:52if you get the right man, then that's wonderful, but
05:56If you're disappointed
05:59Is mama unhappy
06:05What do you think
06:09She's certainly disappointed
06:12Yeah
06:16You just be careful how you fall in love Jenny
06:29Oh
06:49The girl in white the dark one
06:53Jerome sir, miss Jenny Jerome. She and her sister were presented to you and the princess here last year, sir
07:00American oh
07:03She's come on a lot
07:06She's an absolute charm and a sister American though you say
07:11Nice Americans I did
07:14Frank
07:15Introduce me
07:19I'm sick of English girls. They're all so anemic
07:24Even Randolph has noticed
07:26Oh
07:28Hello, mr. Room
07:31Splendid, isn't it?
07:35It's not a battleship it's a cruiser
07:37Mr. Oh, may I present an old friend who's just arrived in cars Lord Randolph Churchill. How do you do?
07:43This your first visit to cows. Mr. Room. No, we come every year in that case. I can't think how I'm missing
07:49May I write my name in your program?
07:56I
08:02You yachting no, I know he's only interested in hunting and there's nothing to catch in the sea
08:10Yes, and wet feet and toes that's not my idea of sport I think one's much better off on dry land
08:17Especially not tonight. I can't think of a nicer place to be I believe you're American. Mr. Room
08:26I've been told
08:28Perhaps I'd given myself away somehow
08:31My parents have spent so long trying to eradicate my transatlantic bowels. I haven't even been allowed back
08:38Your bowels I assure you your accents your manners generally I did like
08:47They're indistinguishable from the real thing
08:50They should seem rather French we live in Paris, you see. Oh, well when a French things are charming of course
08:57You take an interest in politics, mr. Oh, I say now that is an English frankly, I have that now, please
09:06I've came the dance after next mystery with your permission
09:12I suppose the French dance quite disgustingly well being frogs
09:17They don't talk like some Englishman I've met well no true Englishman dances really well, you know, it's not done
09:24It's not manly
09:32Mr. Rome if I promise to try not to tread on your toes
09:36May I have the pleasure of this dance?
09:40Yes, well we can only try
09:46Oh
09:56Randolph looks a lot when he's chasing something without a pack of hounds
10:03Hey, oh
10:04I'm awfully sorry. Mr. Rome. Yeah, perhaps I shouldn't have ventured on anything quite so
10:09Extremely one might say offensively French as a quadrille
10:13I
10:14Wanted to get to know you and if I hadn't asked to dance someone else would have done and then it would have been impossible
10:20Well, what have you learned about me so far that you dance very much better than I do
10:26What have you learned about me?
10:27That's a little French polish would not come amiss don't deny it for a moment
10:32May I now criticize you?
10:35By all means a little English discretion would save some of my blushes. Oh, I'm sorry, but I believe in speaking the truth
10:42Surely not about a chap's dancing. Why ever not? You need improvement Lord Randolph. It would not be the act of a friend
10:48Pretend otherwise. Oh
10:49Then you're my friend. I say that is progress
11:11I
11:42You see before you two men who between half the world
11:47futures are Russia the future King of England
11:52Doesn't it stir your blood
11:56Surely it does
12:11Oh
12:26Alexander my new fellow
12:28I
12:41Certainly hope so because when world it takes the floor even aristocrats and Americans must stand and watch. Thank God
12:48No, how can I it's brought us together
12:51If it hadn't been for this ball these poor sailors deprived of feminine company and tired of horn piping to each other
12:58We should never have met
13:00As a matter of fact, I find myself very much in favor of dancing after all
13:09May I see your program please mr. M. Don't you believe me? Oh, yes, of course, I believe you
13:14Now I free you from your promise and you can dance with me. Oh, it's all right. You can cut Frank. He won't mind
13:20He's an old friend of mine. God Randolph. All right. I'll explain to him later as a matter of fact
13:24I'm not half bad at a waltz. Am I Frank?
13:33Clara Lord Randolph is dancing with Jenny again
13:38What would have expected the son of a Jew to dance rather better than that
13:42These jokes aren't like our French jukes mom. They all live in the country and hunt
13:50Oh
13:53Good
13:54Are you no more?
13:57Light-headed. Do you want to stop? Absolutely not. Now stand by I'm going to attempt to reverse
14:07Good Randolph never reversed on principle just as he never apologized
14:12Perhaps she insisted sir. You know these Americans are
14:20Oh
14:30Men are the best judges of mothers, mr. Oh
14:37It's yours let you ride she couldn't stop me if she wanted to and do you want to I've written since I was a child
14:43My father's a great racing man. You see he founded the American Jockey Club
14:47Good heavens did he really? Yes. I mean, I didn't know there was one
14:52Have you ever heard of a horse called Kentucky? Of course. He was my father's. I've ridden Kentucky. I don't believe it
15:00My father put me on his back after he won a race once
15:03Good heavens. So what's a sensible girl knows about racing doing wasting her time in a hole like Paris
15:09Well, I ride every day in the summer in the blood balloon blood balloon. Yeah, that's not racing
15:14And this isn't dancing
15:29Good now we can have a breather
15:32And this way
15:43Good
15:44Now we can talk. I
15:46Thought we had been talking. I'll be starting now. Tell me why if you're American, do you live in Paris?
15:51Because my mother refuses to live in New York
15:54New York's pretty awful. I imagine. Oh, you imagine quite wrong. I wish we spent more time there. We have the most beautiful house
16:01And my father loves opera. So he's built a little theater in one of the wings
16:06My mother is tone-deaf almost and politically speaking completely so
16:13If you came to Paris five years ago, mr
16:16Rome you were just in time for a major European war closely followed by the bloodiest revolution in modern history
16:23Perhaps your mother found New York too quiet for her. She wanted more passion and violence in her life
16:32Well, she could hardly know there was going to be the war and the Commune Lord Randolph I
16:38Suppose you fled
16:40As a matter of fact, we were on the last train out of Paris before the Russians began the siege good
16:44I hate to think of you eating rats like the people left behind rats must be so unnourishing
16:49My father said there weren't even enough of those to go around. Oh, you mean he was left behind
16:53No, he went back with some peace proposals from the American government to Bismarck
16:58This
17:00Mean you met Bismarck in the middle of the seat of Paris
17:04Wish I could have done
17:06Bismarck
17:08There's a great man a really really great smile we all think he's a monster I dare say but great
17:18Is that what you want to be a great man, of course
17:25They're not a monster I hope
17:27Can one be great without being a monster?
17:31I shall try
17:39What's Paris like without an Emperor
17:41Paris is Paris
17:43Mama says it isn't what it was. Your mama sounds very difficult to please
17:47I should have thought she'd been grateful for a quiet life after all that
17:52No, but I
17:55Know very few Americans to tell you the truth
17:58There are plenty about I
18:00Expect you don't think they're good enough
18:04But
18:06Why do you say it in that tone of voice?
18:08We didn't find people very friendly when we were in London. Oh, I am sorry
18:12But what a very interesting life you've led. Mr. Oh
18:16Well, it makes up for being dull in myself. Oh, don't talk like that
18:24I
18:27Dear mr. Rome
18:28Do you really know why I hate dances so much?
18:32because of a nonsense people talk
18:35Polite conversation. It's the greatest single bane of life
18:40Well, I can see you must think that why
18:43You don't attempt it. Why should I and why should you I'll be too intelligent of that sort of thing
18:49My dear mr. Rome life's dreadfully short, it's a pity to fill it with toss
18:56Well, that's what I say but no one in my family will ever listen I will
19:05I say do you mind awfully if we dance again?
19:08We could sit out. No, I rather think we might be disturbed. May I have the pleasure your programs empty?
19:13I've seen it
19:19I'm afraid being rather monopolized by your friends. Mr. Barty. Really? She'll enjoy that. It's jolly good company. May I?
19:31Take the Napoleons for instance now who were they?
19:34Nobody's you think the first one became an emperor by chatting to a lot of fat dowagers in drawing rooms
19:39The man must act if he's going to be anyone
19:43How do you act Lord Randolph?
19:46I don't
19:48yet
19:49But I shall I shall
19:52Wow
19:53I'll go into politics. I can have the family seat in Parliament anytime. I want it
19:57That doesn't sound like much of a challenge. That's exactly it. That's exactly my trouble things are too too easy for me
20:04That's your spoil. Of course. I am and so are you
20:08So are we all for all the spoiled darlings of our age?
20:13Perhaps the most spoiled of all time
20:17Dancing on a warship on a lovely summer's night all this
20:21hours and for nothing
20:25No, what have we done to deserve it for our forefathers? Yes, they they struggled and fought and killed and starved
20:32Just so that we can go round round round
20:34Round round round
20:39Mind you I'm very glad they did
20:41I'd rather be one of those who struggle than just one of those who go round and round
20:46So would I
21:00Why don't you do something?
21:05I'm waiting for my challenge a
21:09Man
21:11Has to wait for his moment, you know, like your Emperor Louis Napoleon. He's not my emperor. It's my mother's
21:17The last time we saw him was here as a matter of fact. He invited us out on his yacht
21:23His moment was over
21:25he just
21:27leaned against the mast and
21:30Stared at the sea
21:31Looking very old and very sad
21:35He seemed to have nothing left to live for but he had lived
21:39My god, he'd lived
21:42Yes, he he took great risks
21:46He gambled and lost
21:50Well in the end
21:52We all lose in the end. We all die after all
21:58What fun he had winning for 20 years first
22:00Politics, you know is a greasy pole
22:0420 years is a long time to be at the top
22:08And that's where you're going to be
22:12Where else
22:30Frank one thing we must say for these Americans they have courage and stamina
22:36They'll need it sir if Randolph's going to pursue them. I wonder you suppose they have ambition
23:00I
23:16Think I have a headache and it was crowded wasn't it mama
23:21Lara was the best ball I've ever beat
23:27Mama
23:29Will you invite Lord Randolph to dine tomorrow night if you wish dear?
23:34Did you think he was nice?
23:39What do you mean
23:42Well, he's so
23:45Energetic
23:47Didn't have time to think about whether he was nice or not
23:52Said he doesn't believe in polite conversation. So I
23:56suppose he's not I
23:58Believe he's one of the Marlborough house
24:02He's the son of the Duke of Marlborough
24:05Really Jenny the Marlboroughs don't live it Marlborough house. The Prince of Wales does don't you know anything?
24:13He's got very poppy eyes, doesn't he
24:20He's only the younger son, of course
24:24I'm not about to marry him. I can we just met him. Well
24:29Clara every time you and mama meet a bachelor you see a husband
24:33What nonsense one simply wants to know who someone is
24:38Simply wants to know who someone is
25:08I
25:32Sometimes wonder if perhaps they don't play a little too well
25:38Well, I like music of course
25:41No, I can't follow it the way the girls do
25:45Do wonder if perhaps people really want to listen to very good music after dinner
26:05What about that tremendous
26:09Miss Jerome, I owe you a sincere apology
26:11Whatever for I was so boorish and stupid about my dancing last night. I had no idea you were such a musician
26:17Don't be so silly
26:18No, I mean it anyone as musical as you must find my sort of galumphing painful in every way
26:23Only when you try on my toes
26:25Please forgive me and play again
26:32Yes, we ought to be going mr. Barty's had quite enough
26:38That's not what I said
26:41It seems your mother wants us to go I
26:45don't
26:46Look here and I'm leaving cows the day after tomorrow. Oh
26:51I see
26:54Whenever you like we're here till September. No, I mean tomorrow before I go and where there's no polite conversation where we can talk
27:01I'll walk on the cliffs near Gurnard most mornings. Thank you. Good night Jenny
27:08Good night, mr. Rome
27:10Good night, Randolph. Good night, Lord Randolph
27:16Good night, mrs. Jerome. Thank you so much. Thank you so much
27:21These ladies are exhausted. You've kept them up far too long with all your chatter
27:38I am rather tired. I
27:41Think we should all go to bed in a moment. Mama. Don't stay up too late. Will you know mama? Good night
27:46Good night, Jenny
27:47You know, I wish you wouldn't show off at the piano people might think you were professional mama go to bed
27:56Good night. Good night
28:00Lord Randolph does have poppy eyes
28:02Isn't he fun? Oh, yes, who great party, of course
28:08Lord Randolph's a little intense. Don't you think no and that dreadful mustache
28:14Clara. Mm-hmm. I think I'm gonna marry him
28:19What I?
28:22Don't know why I just feel sure I'm gonna marry him
28:33Aren't they hmm
28:35They're Americans what's wrong with Americans? Oh, look at the mother
28:41She's silly mothers always are oh no, but she goes on and on about the beastly French Duke
28:46She knows I really can't stick up then shut up about her. I say you are already smitten. Are you Randolph? Yes
28:53No, but you only met them yesterday. What does that matter? Well
28:59Good heavens, which one?
29:02The fair ones, you know with some frog Marquess
29:06Hmm Jimmy then
29:10Well, she's very pretty I grant you
29:13I'm going to marry her if she'll have me
29:18Good God
29:22Then she will
29:32I
29:53Think we're really very alike
29:56identical
29:57You say you're very ambitious
29:59So am I
30:00With your mother
30:07Money and marriage, I'm far more ambitious than that
30:12Well, what are you ambitious for Jenny I
30:15Don't know yet
30:17That's why I was so alike
30:19All I do know is I want far more out of life than anything. Anyone's even suggested yet
30:25Look here I'm leaving tomorrow. I must see you again
30:29Well, I'll get mama to invite you to dinner again
30:32Can you do that Jenny? Can you manage your mama?
30:36When it's something important
30:38Yes
30:40I
31:10I
31:13I
31:38Look here there's no point in mucking about I'm leaving tomorrow anyway
31:43When I made up my mind to do something Jenny I do it
31:46Will you marry me?
31:48Yes, I
31:50Knew you put I knew you'd ask me
32:12Oh
32:14Oh
32:38Randolph is very free and easy about his plans
32:41He seemed so set on leaving this morning, I don't expect he has anything to do but please himself I
32:48Hope he's reliable. I do think it's a bad sign when people keep changing their plans
33:03When should we tell the sooner the better the only reason for keeping it to ourselves will be that we weren't quite sure that
33:08We are aren't we? I am and shall we say we'll be married before
33:13Christmas tomorrow if you like darling
33:18Does it matter
33:30It is quite out of the question I
33:34I
33:35Shall be the judge of that mama
33:38You've only known the girl a week on your own admission. Who is she? Her name is Jeanette Jerome
33:44I know that who is she as far as I'm concerned?
33:48The only thing that matters is that she's going to be my wife with my dear old man. Who is she?
33:55She's an American she lives in Paris
33:59Who is the father? Oh, I understand. He's something on Wall Street. Oh, I really don't know
34:05He's in New York and you propose to marry a girl. You know nothing about with one parent in America and the other in Europe
34:11Yes
34:13But my dear boy
34:15You are not ready to settle down now there Randolph. Mama has a sizable point learn from my example
34:22Marriage is best postponed for as long as possible
34:26preferably forever
34:27Learn to be quiet
34:30Now Randolph you must be reasonable
34:33What may I ask do you propose to live on?
34:36Well, since I obviously cannot ask mrs. Jerome for her daughter's hand on my present allowance
34:41I shall ask Papa to increase it. I see
34:45What do you imagine he will say? He will understand that my happiness is at stake and do so perfectly
34:50Well, he'll do nothing of the sort
34:52He will bow to the inevitable Baba as you will too
34:56I'm afraid I cannot possibly give my approval to such a rash and foolhardy venture
35:01I shall inform your father. I've already informed him
35:05Very well, then we will await his answer
35:08Jenny you hardly know him. I don't care
35:11I know quite enough to know he's the only man I want in the whole world. Oh, you feel that now
35:15I shall always feel it Jenny. He's got no money of his own. I don't care
35:20I don't care if we have to live on pigs trotters. I want to marry him
35:23He wants to marry me and what we want we shall have now. There is no need to talk like that. I
35:29Perfectly understand your feelings, but mama. I love him
35:34Well, I can't possibly give my consent until we hear from your father and it will say yes, I know he will I am sure
35:41Papa will feel like I do that. This is all very rash and precipitate Jenny
35:46Meanwhile, I'm afraid I must forbid you to see him. Oh, mom. Yes, I
35:52Have decided that we will cut short our stay in England and return to Paris. I won't go
35:59It's probably wisest love and you needn't think that just because you allowed mama to bully you out of your marquee
36:04But I'm going to be bullied too
36:06I won't be you can do what you like and say what you like and lock me up if you want to
36:11But I'm going to marry Randolph. I don't see how that's going to work
36:15I don't see how you could Jenny. Mm-hmm. His eyes really are poppy. Of course, they're not
36:21Clara says they are well, they're not and give that to me. Oh, let me look give it to me
36:26What's the matter? Did you promise you'd be fettered to him by this golden chain for life?
36:31Did why don't you go to bed you shouldn't have taken it off you promised not to I didn't promise anything now
36:36Will you go away promise to marry him Leonie? I wish I'd been there. I'm extremely glad you weren't poking your nose into everything
36:43I'm always in school when something exciting happens and you're as hopeless as Clara. You never tell me what I really want to know
36:50What are you writing in your letters mind your own business? I
36:54Don't know how you and Randolph find things to say every day. I
36:58Should have thought one letter a week would have been quite enough and
37:02So much more exciting think how you'd look forward to it Lainey. Will you please go away?
37:07Why because Randolph's always complaining that my letters aren't long enough and if you don't stop chattering
37:12I'll never even get to page two
37:14Haven't you got any homework? I've done it. Well go pester Clara. Oh, it's too easy
37:19I can make her cry anytime. I want to you are an extremely nasty ugly little sister. Yes
37:27If you said so far you may not see I'll read one of his letters no
37:32Why not?
37:33Is he swell as badly as he dances?
37:38Missed go away
37:42Softly light, isn't it? I suppose it is solid gold
37:48It's a pity about having to get married
37:52Be so much nicer if men would just give us things when we wanted them. They just might want something in return. Yes
37:58My dear Randolph if her mother will not hear of it and your mother will not hear of it
38:03Surely, I'm at a loss to understand either of them Papa
38:06It would seem to be a maternal conspiracy to be resisted to the utmost
38:11You should reflect a little older and wiser heads on both sides
38:16Contain a great deal of folly at mr. Glanston's for instance
38:20Don't be perturbed
38:22You're not a boy. No, I am a man and like all men I wish to marry
38:25Yes, I quite understand that and I have no wish to dispute with you
38:29But I cannot avoid saying that anyone on the outside cannot but be struck by the unwisdom of your proceedings
38:38When two people feel towards each other what mr. Jerome and I feel Papa
38:43It becomes a great responsibility for anyone to assist in thwarting their union
38:56I have made inquiries about mr. Jerome and I must say they are not encouraging
39:02It seems he is a sporting and I should say vulgar sort of man
39:07And a rational even violent speculator mainly in railways as a result of which he has recently suffered a severe loss
39:13I can't see that that has any bearing on the matter either way
39:19No one in their senses could call such a connection respectable
39:23It appears that he drives six and even eight horses and has founded a race course. I do not
39:30Understand you Papa
39:32American customs are different from our own of course
39:34But an interest in horses and horse racing is hardly a mark of vulgarity among our own class indeed rather the opposite
39:41Is your objection that he's not rich enough?
39:44Randolph you will have to make your own way in the world. I know that
39:49And I'm glad of it. Well, you know best how I can help you
39:52There'll be a general election soon the seat here at Woodstock is yours for the asking after that. It's up to you
40:00I
40:02You may have noticed Papa
40:05But I have rather lost interest in politics in recent months to the great regret of your mother and myself
40:11You know how much we've set our hearts and you're making a name for yourself in Parliament. Yeah, I believe mr
40:17Rowe would encourage me to do that. Indeed. She does already
40:19I
40:22See
40:24Hmm. I mean I I need
40:27Support in anything I do Papa without hers
40:30I do not see myself having a career of any distinction indeed. I think I should find life very dreary altogether
40:36No one goes through what I have gone through. Oh my dear Randolph
40:40You were engaged in three days that surely indicates the intensity of my feelings Papa
40:49I
41:01Think you must wait a year. But yeah, you must show proof of your affection and so must she
41:08And if there is an election within the year
41:13That might alter my view we shall have to wait and see then you do not positively refuse consent
41:20My dear boy. All I'm thinking of is your own happiness
41:23Why do people always say that when they are in fact creating as much unhappiness as they can of course Randolph
41:29They can see beyond the emotion of the moment happiness is not just a question of hours and days now
41:36If at the end of one year's time you and mr. Rome are of the same mind
41:41Then your mother and I will receive her as a daughter and with all the affection that you can desire
41:50I
41:52Thank you Papa
41:54So he thinks my daughter isn't good enough for his son
41:59I only gave general permission now. I see the lie of the land. I withdraw my consent
42:04But you said no son of his can be good enough for my daughter. Who does he think he is English?
42:09Jukes don't walk on water. Let me tell you something else
42:11I've been making inquiries about your young Lord Randolph and let me tell you Jenny. I'm not too pleased with what I've heard
42:17I don't think there's much truth in what you've heard. I thought he must love you
42:20He does because the English are so damn prejudiced against Americans. Only love could overcome it all money
42:26I knew I'm aware. So it couldn't be that Papa if he loves me
42:29Why do you object because I'm not having any damned English Duke telling me that my daughter isn't good enough for his his his his idle
42:36Western son, that's why
42:38It's all of the whole thing
42:43No one's going to stop me
42:45Not even you
42:51It was yours and not another's hand that built the funeral pyre near which you tarry
42:56The daggers plunged into its bleeding hilt. My fate is sealed if thou dost marry
43:03I am fit for God's sake shut up. I've only just started old man
43:07Perambulators and the baby's rusks shall be amongst thy chiefest cares
43:11See thou to the bottle that it sucks. Revolt thy spirit will not dare
43:15And when thy better half shall whine or fret because thou dinest not at home perchance the scene
43:21I said shut up
43:24Look here. I'm only trying to give you good advice
43:27I don't care if the girl's the incarnation of all the physical beauties on God's earth
43:31She is and I want them now, but why do you want to marry her for her fortune?
43:35No to have children. No because you adored her for years. No, because I love her
43:41Which is something you could never possibly understand
43:44You're in love with an ideal my dear man
43:47If you wish to live to inherit this damn great morgue, you will now shut up
43:52But Randolph look at me. Look what marriage has done to me. I plan to learn from your mistakes
43:57All I'm saying is marry in haste
44:00Any more advice from you will amount to sufficient grounds for fratricide. Well, you're a damn fool
44:05That's all I can say
44:06You don't know what you're letting yourself in for
44:09This father of hers. He sounds like a first-rate crook. He seems a perfect gentleman to me
44:15Belongs to our first-rate club anyway
44:18As if all crooks didn't. They said I drank
44:23I'm afraid so
44:26Well, of course I drink every gentleman drinks look here, I mean I don't drink
44:31Well, I can see that for myself now
44:37Do you know what they said about you?
44:41Who?
44:43You had your spies on me. My father had his on you
44:50Did he by God?
44:54They said you're very extravagant and spend all your money on horses and opera singers and
44:59Oh you belong to a very fast set mr. Jerome
45:08Well, it's all true
45:10They tell you I used to be rich
45:13Hey
45:14Said you've had difficulties recently. I most certainly have but don't you worry we'll arrange everything your father and I
45:20That's very decent of you, sir
45:23It's just one thing. I love Jenny
45:25So do I
45:29Well, I
45:31Wouldn't go against her choice for anything in the world
45:35Unless it was a Frenchman
45:38She said you'd be on our side
45:41I am
45:43Jenny's very special. I hope you are. What do you mean?
45:48What are you going to do with your life?
45:50and hers
45:53I'm going into Parliament
45:56Don't worry about me
46:00I'll make a name for myself. All right
46:03They'll even hear of me in New York
46:06I'm sorry, mr. Jerome. I'm sorry too Marlborough, but that's the way we do it in America
46:12Well, it's really not at all the way we do it in England
46:15But what you suggest would make your daughter quite independent of Randolph from a financial point of view
46:20Well indeed it would in my country a married woman's property is absolutely entirely her own
46:26Jeanette is marrying an Englishman and thereby loses her American nationality
46:34She will become an English woman. Mr. Jerome
46:37And therefore the settlement really must be in accordance with English laws and customs
46:41But that would make her completely dependent upon Randolph. Yes, that is the way we do it
46:46I see
46:50I consider that most unwise
46:53I hope you're not implying that Randolph is in any way untrustworthy. No, no, no, not at all
46:57I can't think of a safer young man. No, it's just that well
47:01It's a matter of principle. I'm afraid you must yield. Mr. Jerome
47:08Very well
47:11You have some very curious customs Marlborough. I don't know how your women put up with them
47:15We found it better on the whole not to allow the women any say in these matters
47:20Yeah
47:23So it's
47:26Entirely your decision is it that neither you nor the Duchess will be attending the wedding?
47:32I regret very much that we will be prevented from coming over
47:36My wife the Duchess and I are both
47:40Extremely fond of Randolph. Mr. Jerome
47:43We've had a little trouble with our elder boy.
47:47I quite understand
47:48All our hopes are in Randolph. So are mine. I'm very glad he took his chance and did so well at the election
47:54He needed something to do
47:58We were very pleased naturally
48:00That's why we agreed to let the marriage take place earlier than we had originally said the House of Commons would
48:08Yes, you're quite right, of course it will give him something serious to do I
48:13Have great faith in Randolph. Believe me. I have no doubts about your daughter. I
48:18Assure you we both wish them every happiness
48:24Merci mademoiselle
48:26I wonder if you've got enough dresses Jenny. How many are they? There are 23. I think it'll be enough
48:32Well
48:34You know how badly English women dress I shouldn't think there'd be anyone at Blenheim with as many Paris dresses as me
48:4023 yes, but you mustn't let us down Jenny if the Duke and Duchess are too proud to come to the wedding
48:46I don't care if nobody comes just so long as Randolph does and he I expect will want to see you without your dresses
48:58I'm sorry, they're not coming. I don't care
49:04I'm a favorite son. I'm afraid well, then obviously no one could ever be good enough for you
49:08And I refuse to be offended. Oh, you do take it well, Jenny
49:12But we've won they tried to stop us and they couldn't if they're too grand to admit defeat
49:17It won't be my goodness, but we did defeat them didn't we?
49:20We vanquished them at least you did. Well, thanks to the election compared to winning it over my ma
49:25That was a walkover. Nonsense. You fought very hard. You weren't there. I would have been if I could
49:32You've not had any doubts then? Never. I have
49:36Randolph well after the last few months isn't married life going to seem rather humdrum
49:41With this ring I thee wed. With my body I thee worship. With my body I thee worship. And with all my worldly goods I thee endow.
49:57And with all my worldly goods I thee endow. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
50:08In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
50:15Those whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder.
50:37Let no man put asunder.
51:07Thank you for watching.
