00:00Oi! James! Oh, thank you so very much. Thank you. Thank you.
00:29Good morning Mr. Worcester. What? What's the time? Ten past nine, sir. Ten past nine?
00:39Is the building on fire? Not that I've been informed, sir, no. Mr. Fink-Nottle is
00:45here to see you, sir. Jeeves, I'm not awake. I've not had my tea and yet you
00:50you bring me Fink-Nottle's. Is this a time for Fink or any other kind of
00:53Nottle? The gentleman did say it was urgent, sir. Yes, well, he lives in the
00:58country, Jeeves. He gets overstimulated when he comes to London. Tell him I'll see
01:01him at the Drones at twelve. Very good, sir.
01:07Taxi! Taxi! I'm terribly sorry. It's all right. Happens all the time.
01:22Mrs. Travers to see you, sir. Tell Mrs. Travers I'm out and I'll deal with her in the morning.
01:31Bertie, you old ass, wake up. It's time you were dressed. I've got a job for you.
01:38Does your master always lie about like this, Jeeves? Mr. Worcester was detained at a business meeting until late last evening.
01:45Business meeting? How do you mean a job? Why a job? What sort of job? You'll enjoy it.
01:52You've heard of Market Snodsbury Grammar School? Never. It's a grammar school in
01:58Market Snodsbury. The prize-giving takes place next Wednesday. Thank you, Jeeves.
02:03You are going to give away the prizes. Me? What do you mean, me give prizes? I mean you give
02:13prizes. The vicar was going to do it, but he's strained a fetlock and he's had to
02:17scratch his nomination. No, Aunt Elia, no, no, no, no. Me give prizes? Make a speech?
02:25Don't start gargling now. This is serious. I was laughing derisively. Well, don't.
02:33No, I will not do it. That's final. I simply will not do it. You will do it, young Bertie.
02:38We'll never darken my doors again and you know what that means? No more of
02:42Anatole's dinners for you. Oh, now look here. No, not another bite of Anatole's
02:49cooking do you get if you refuse this simple, easy, pleasant job. No, but you have to be a
02:56frightful nib to give away prizes. When I was at school, there was generally some Prime Minister
03:00or other. Well, that was Eton. At Market Snodsbury, anyone in spats impresses us.
03:06Well, why don't you get Uncle Tom? He's got spats. Because, Bertie, quite soon now,
03:11I've got to sidle up to Uncle Tom and break the news that I need to check for 500 pounds
03:17off him for Milady's boudoir by August the 3rd at the latest. The boudoir on the rocks again,
03:23is it? Until you have run a weekly woman's magazine, you don't know what rocks are. You
03:31remember me losing all that money at Buckeye and Cannes? Don't I just? The casino wanted to put up
03:36a plaque, but that wasn't Uncle Tom's money, surely? No, but it was money that he'd given me
03:41to pay Milady's boudoir's bills. No law. So, if you think that I'm going to ask him to put on the
03:48top hat and the lavender gloves and distribute prizes at the Market Snodsbury grammar school...
03:54Yes, I see what you mean. I shall give you today to set your affairs in order and expect your
04:01brinkly court tomorrow. You'll enjoy it. I can't understand Gussie Finknottle being in London,
04:11Jeeves. Till now, he's always remained glued to the country, completely surrounded by newts. Sir?
04:16Warrant Jarvis. Newts, Jeeves. You know, those little lizardy things that charge about in ponds.
04:21Ah, yes, sir. The aquatic members of the family Salamanderidae that constitute the genus Mulga.
04:26Yes, they're the chaps. Anyway, he used to keep them at school. I believe young gentlemen frequently do, sir.
04:32Arrived at man's estate, he retired to the depths of the country and gave up his life to these dumb
04:37chums. I suppose he used to tell himself that he can either take them or leave them alone, and then
04:41found too late that he couldn't. It's often the way, sir. Morning, Molly. Morning, sir. He didn't say what he
04:47wanted, did he, Jeeves? He confided in me to the extent that he's enamored of a young lady, but
04:52that she makes him nervous. Well, are we surprised? I mean, look at the life he's led. I don't suppose he's even
04:57spoken to a girl in five years. Well, what a lesson this is to us, Jeeves. In this life, you can either
05:03shut yourself up at a country house and stare into a newt tank, or you can be a dasher with the sex.
05:09But you can't do both. It's a sad reflection, sir. I guess he didn't mention this girl's name at all, did he?
05:14She's a Miss Bassett, sir. Miss Madeline Bassett. Well, I'm dashed. I'm positively dashed, Jeeves.
05:20Indeed, sir. Is the young lady an acquaintance of yours? Absolutely. Her father is the beak who fined me
05:25five pounds. Well, I must confess, Jeeves, until you supplied this information, I had definite doubts
05:30about Gus's chances. But now, hope begins to dawn. He's just the sort of chap that Madeline Bassett
05:35might scoop up with a spoon. This is indeed good news, sir. I won't go so far as to say she actually
05:41writes poetry, but when a girl suddenly asks you out of a clear blue sky if you don't think that
05:45the stars are God's daisy chain, well, I mean, you do begin to wonder, Jeeves. Indeed, sir.
06:01Not out, I'm afraid. In by a mile.
06:07What, oh, Gussie? Oh, hello, Bertie.
06:10So, what's all this about you and Madeline Bassett? I didn't know you knew her even.
06:14I didn't. Not until I met her. She was staying at a place near mine in Lincolnshire the week
06:19before last. A dog had got a thorn in its foot, and I managed to get it out for her.
06:23So, love at first sight, eh? Yes. Oh, Bertie, life would be so much simpler if we were newts.
06:30Yes, well, yes, I've said the same thing myself a hundred times. I mean, do you know how the male
06:34newt proposes, Bertie? He stands in front of the female newt, vibrating his tail and bending his
06:39body in a semicircle. No. Yes, like this. Yes, well, it's a change from champagne and flowers,
06:48I suppose. Now, Gussie. I say, I say, it's about time someone came up with something better than
06:54the foxtrot. This'll turn a few heads a quack's life. Madeline's gone to stay with these people
07:01in the country. I don't know what to do. We'll follow her, of course. I can't plant myself in
07:06a lot of perfect strangers. Ah, so you don't know these people? All I know is their name's Travers.
07:11It's a place called Brinkley Court in Worcestershire. Gussie, your troubles are at an end. This very
07:16afternoon, you will travel down to Brinkley Court as an honoured guest. I don't mean you
07:20know these Traverses. They are my Aunt Delia. But what do I do when I get there? Well, if you knew
07:32Brinkley Court, you wouldn't ask that question. Really? Place is simply soggy with atmosphere.
07:37I got engaged three times at Brinkley. Really? No business resulted, of course, but the fact remains.
07:43Thank you so much, Bertie. On consulting engagement book, deeply regret am unable to come
07:51down, so am sending my friend Augustus Fink... Nottle. Nottle, to enjoy your hospitality instead.
07:59He well known in Lincolnshire as distributor of school prizes, so there isn't any need for me
08:05now, is there? To Blue, your loving nephew, Bertie. Excellent.
08:17I stake everything on propinquity, Jeeves. At the moment, Gussie is a mere jelly when in the presence,
08:23but ask yourself how he's going to feel in a week or so after he and she have been helping
08:26themselves to sausages out of the same dish day after day at the breakfast sideboard.
08:31Golly, Jeeves. Sir? Well, you see, here is an instance of how you have to think of everything.
08:35You heard me mention sausages? Sausages? Yes, sir. Take down a telegram, Jeeves. I must warn Gussie
08:42without delay. He's got to create the impression in this girl's mind that he's pining away for love
08:47of her. This cannot be done by wolfing down sausages. Ready? Indeed, sir, yes. Fink, Nottle,
08:53Brinkley Court, Market Slodsbury. Lay off the sausages, Bertie. Very good, sir. No, no, wait a
09:01sec. P.S. Also, avoid the ham. Yes, don't you do it? I say, Jeeves, as a matter of interest,
09:11what are you doing? I merely ask. I'm sorting through these clothes, sir. These are for repair
09:18and these for discarding. Oh, wait a second. This white mess jacket is brand new. I assume it
09:26had got into your wardrobe by mistake, sir, or else that it had been placed there by your enemies.
09:31I will have you know, Jeeves, that I bought this in Cairn. And wore it, sir? Every night at the
09:36casino. Beautiful women used to try and catch my eye. Presumably they thought you were a waiter, sir.
09:42Now, look here, Jeeves. Excuse me, sir.
09:50Telegram for Mr. Worcester.
09:54Telegram for you, sir? Well, read it, Jeeves, read it.
10:03Deeply regret my foot. Consider your conduct the frozen limit. What do you mean by planting
10:10your loathsome friends on me like this? Who is this spink bottle? Deeply regret Brinkley caught
10:17a hundred miles from London as unable to hit you with brick. Come this instant, Angela broken off
10:24engagement with your other friend, Glossop. Love, Trevor's, sir. I say, Jeeves, sir, my cousin
10:32Angela has broken off her engagement with Tuppy Glossop. So I gather, sir. Well, you shall have
10:38to go down there at once. My aunt Taylor is obviously all over Twitter and my place is at her
10:42side. Very good, sir. This comes as a great shock, Jeeves. Tuppy and Angela. Why, they always seem
10:48like the paper on the wall. Life is full of sadness, Jeeves. Yes, sir. Still, there it is.
10:56What is it about uncles and aunts, Jeeves? I really couldn't say, sir. I mean, but one's parents.
11:03After a few preliminary skirmishes over Sago pudding and stewed rhubarb, one settled down into
11:08some sort of amicable, if humdrum, relationship. But aunts, Jeeves. Very true, sir. I don't even know
11:14the meaning of the word humdrum. Amongst the grim regiment of my aunts, only aunts and uncles
11:19stands alone as a real sportsman. I mean, look at my Aunt Agatha. Indeed, sir, yes. And Aunt Julia.
11:24Quite, sir. And Aunt Charlotte. Oh, she's the one who sent me that rather bitter postcard of Little
11:30Chilbury War Memorial, when I refused to take her frightful child to lunch on the way back to school.
11:35Aunts are noted for their strong opinions, sir. It's a distinguishing mark of the breed.
11:40Yes, but it's the things they say, Jeeves. I mean, it's the things they say.
11:44Aunt calling to aunt like mastodons bellowing across primeval swamps. But swamp or no swamp, Jeeves,
11:50we must hire us to Brinkley Court. We have a duty to Cousin Angela. Cousin in need is a cousin indeed.
11:55Very true, sir.
12:14Hello, Bertie. Oh, Angela, old thing. Mummy's in the library.
12:38Hello, Aunt Delia. Ah, Bertie. Amatol and I were just going over his wonderful menu for dinner.
12:45For you, Mr. Worcester, I added this, your favourite, my tambale de riz nouveau Toulousian.
12:53Wheel it on, Amatol, old friend, wheel it on. I will eat, Monsieur Worcester, have no fright.
13:01Bertie. Ah, dearest, eh?
13:04Oh, Bertie, decent of you to rally round. I don't know whether I'm on my head or my heels.
13:09Yes, it's a bad show, this, my dear old flesh and blood.
13:11If Tom finds out that that blasted glossop is making Angela unhappy, he'll very likely blow a gasket.
13:25The trouble is, Tom's just had a demand from the income tax people for an additional 58 pounds,
13:32one anthropence. He says he's ruined. And what will become of us all under the iron heel of the
13:39red menace? If it weren't for Amatol's cooking, I doubt if he'd bother to carry on.
13:44But what did Angela and Tuppy row about? Sharks, or rather one particular shark. You remember that
13:50brute that went for the poor child when she was aquaplaning in Cannes? Oh, that shark. Yes,
13:54I remember some talk of it. Well, Angela was telling the story last night, her eyes shining,
14:00her little hands clasped in girlish excitement. And what do you think that blasted glossop did?
14:06He sat there listening like a lump of dough. And then when she'd finished, he said,
14:10oh, probably a flatfish, quite harmless. No doubt he was just trying to play.
14:15Oh, I say. Exactly. I mean, Angela has pride. She's sensitive. She told him he was a fool,
14:23an idiot, and didn't know what he was talking about. Strong words. Yes, I can see why you
14:28needed me. Yes, or rather, not you, but Jeeves. Jeeves? That wonderful brain of his. No, no, no,
14:39no, no, Aunt Elia, I'm sorry. No, but Jeeves is not the only one with a brain. On this occasion,
14:43I am your man.
15:02Watto Tuppy? Oh, hello, Bertie.
15:07You've heard of this business, I suppose? Me and Angela? Yes, some little friction,
15:12I gather, in Ray Angela's shock. Angela had just been most offensive, the little squirt.
15:17I merely seized the opportunity to get a bit of my own back. Offensive? Most offensive.
15:22Just because I happened to let fall some casual remark to the effect that I wondered what Anatole
15:26was going to give us for dinner, she said I ought not to always be thinking about food.
15:31But you still love her, don't you? I'm not saying I don't love her,
15:35little blighter. I mean, I love her passionately, but that doesn't alter the fact that in my humble
15:40opinion, what she needs most in this world is a kick in the pants. Tuppy, old man. It's no good
15:44saying Tuppy, old man. Well, I do say Tuppy, old man. One is, one is shocked, one raises the
15:51eyebrows. Where is the fine old chivalrous spirit of the Glossops? Well, where's the sweet gentle
15:56womanly spirit of the Angelas? I'm telling a chap he's getting a double chin. Oh, now, be fair,
16:02Tuppy. Remember the time you told her that her new hat made her look like a Pekingese?
16:06May as well. It did make her look like a Pekingese. But that wasn't vulgar abuse.
16:13Just sound constructive criticism.
16:18Well, I mean, the only way to work the thing might be to tip her off in some,
16:22well, indirect way that I'm prepared to open negotiation.
16:26Tuppy, I've got it. There is one infallible method of indicating to a girl that you love her.
16:33Don't eat any dinner tonight. What? Well, think how impressive it would be. She knows how devoted
16:38you are to food. I am not devoted to food. No, no, no, no, of course not. No, all I meant was
16:43that if she sees you push your dinner away untasted, well, she will realise that your
16:47heart is aching and, and she'll probably be the first to suggest blowing the all clear. Look,
16:51I have a healthy appetite, that's all. Food, qua food, means nothing to me. No, no, no,
16:56of course not. No. Push away a dinner cooked by Anatole. That's right. It's pretty extreme, that.
17:04The extremer the better. It will be agony. Oh, not for long. You can always slip down tonight
17:11when everyone's in bed and, and, and raid the larder. Oh, yes, yes, I see. I could, couldn't I?
17:18Yes. I expect there's something cold there. There is something cold there. What? Steak and kidney pie.
17:24We had it for lunch today. One of Anatole's ripest. Oh, it was a masterly pie, Bertie. You should have
17:30seen it. Not too much kidney, just enough to give it that touch of bite. A lashing of steak.
17:36That's a good steak, too. Top it. What? Oh, right. Yes, right. Pushed away it shall be.
17:46Terrific idea, Bertie.
17:53Thank you, James.
18:16Psst. Psst. Psst. What's up, Gussie?
18:28I like your nerve, bounding about the place saying what ho, Gussie. It was a dastardly act to call
18:49out of that pie's giving and shove it off on me. My dear old Gussie, just think of what it's going
18:54to do for you. There you'll be up on the platform, a romantic, impressive figure, the whatchamacallit
18:59of all eyes. And Madrid will see you in a totally new light. Oh, will she? Of course she will.
19:05Fink Nottle, the newt's friend, she knows. Fink Nottle, the dob's chiropodist, she is acquainted
19:10with. But Fink Nottle, the orator, Fink Nottle, the man of affairs, eh, it'll knock her sideways.
19:15Do you think so? Sure of it. Suppose it might be all right. But you seem so aloof, Bertie,
19:21so remote, especially when I see her sideways. Have you ever seen her sideways, Bertie?
19:27That cold, pure profile? Just takes all the heart out of one. Yes, well, you see, she needs to be
19:33softened up, sweetened. I've been thinking about this, Gussie, and you'll be pleased to hear,
19:36but I have a plan. Be so good, Jeeves, as to shove that ballet black thing back in the wardrobe
19:54and bring me my white mess jacket with the brass buttons. Oh, good heavens, sir, it was most
20:00remiss of me, but I fear I inadvertently omitted to pack the garment. I know you did, Jeeves,
20:05but I didn't. You'll find it in the other wardrobe. Very good, sir.
20:19The rift between Tuppy and my cousin Angela appears to be serious, Jeeves.
20:23Indeed, sir. Well, I've had rather a stunning idea, Jeeves, and I've been in conference with
20:29Mr Glossop, and everything is taped out. Indeed, sir. Jeeves, I'm sure that nothing is further
20:38from your mind, but you know, you have a way of saying, indeed, sir, which gives the impression
20:42that it's only a feudal sense of what is fitting, which prevents you from substituting the word
20:45says you. I'm distressed to hear this, sir. Well, sir, you should be, Jeeves. Correct it.
20:50Very good, sir. You'll be glad to hear that I have taken steps in the matter of Tuppy and Angela.
20:55Indeed, sir. Jeeves. Sorry, sir. Please continue. Right. This is the plan. I have recommended to
21:03Tuppy that at dinner tonight he lay off the food. Sir? Tut, Jeeves. Have you forgotten the telegram
21:11that I sent to Gussie Fink-Nottle, steering him away from the sausages and ham? Well, this is more
21:14of the same thing. Pushing away the scoff is a universally recognised sign of love. Nothing
21:19elaborate, you see? No, sir. Nothing strained or bizarre or far-fetched, just nature's remedy.
21:24It cannot fail to bring home the gravy, Jeeves. Surely you must see that. Well, sir? You don't
21:29think my scheme will work? I fear that Miss Angela may merely attribute Mr. Glossop's abstinence to
21:34indigestion, sir. I say, Jeeves, I've just had another thought. Oh, I am relieved, sir.
21:41Help me on with the jacket, Jeeves. Um, which way up does it go, sir?
21:53Tom! You're not going to stutter me about that blasted money for your magazine again, are you?
21:59What are you doing with that gun? What? Oh, uh, there was someone creeping around outside
22:05last night. Tonight I'm going to be ready for them. I forbid you to play around with that gun.
22:10Blasted, Delia! Not another word, Tom. I forbid it. You know you always shoot the wrong people.
22:41What do you think you're made up as?
22:53What? The jacket, you mean? You look like one of the chorus and act two of a touring
22:58musical comedy. Tut. What did you say? I said tut. Say it again and I'll biff you where you stand.
23:04I have enough to endure without being tutted at. Well, quite. Any tutting that's required I'll attend
23:11to myself. My dear old aunt, your troubles are over. The Worcester brain has shifted smoothly
23:17into top gear once more. Oh, no. What have I done to deserve this? There is only one course for you
23:23to pursue. You must go on the Worcester diet. The Worcester diet? What is all this drivel? No, no,
23:30this is the real Tabasco. No, all you have to do is to refuse your oats at dinner tonight.
23:34Just sit there looking blistered and wave away each course with a weary gesture of resignation.
23:40Why? Why should I? Because. Because I'm prepared to bet, age a day, that at the conclusion of dinner
23:46Uncle Tom will come up to you and he will say, Delia, darling. I take it he calls you Delia?
23:52Yeah. Delia, darling, I noticed at dinner tonight you were a bit off your feed. Is there anything
23:56wrong, Delia, darling? These travesties sound a pretty soppy couple of blighters to me. Is there
24:01anything I can do, Delia, darling, to which you will reply, yes, there jolly well is. Viz, reach
24:07for the checkbook and start writing. Bertie, that's positively bright. When did Jeeves think it up?
24:16I'll have you know, Aunt Delia, that this scheme is guaranteed 100% Worcester brain material.
24:20It's bound to work. Do you know, I think it might. I'll do it.
24:28I'm dreading sitting across the dinner table from Glossop, Madeline.
24:31Oh, poor Angela. Are you still upset about you and Tuffy? Love is such a heartbreak, isn't it?
24:37A heartbreak? I'm just boiling mad. The man is a blithering oaf.
24:51Oh, it's magnifique. Tonight will be the top of Anatole's career.
24:59Can't give a penny nowadays. Tax on this, tax on that. Income tax, no one shall be paupers.
25:07I said to Delia only the other day, they begrudge you the very food you put in your mouth.
25:14Then there was that clown Harriman, messing about down at Hastings when he should have
25:18been at Westminster, trying to think of a way to cut taxes. You and I paid for his little jobs.
25:26We shouldn't have had those damned Saxons walking in us as though they owned the place.
25:33They'd have us begging in the streets. I swear to God, they'd have us begging in the streets.
25:41I remember, I'm such a rambler. The whole family's there in the streets.
25:48The streets can't govern us.
25:54You do not like my consommé au pomme d'amour? No, it is not possible.
26:00They will love my tambour de riz d'ivoire toulousien.
26:09Then look at that Benjamin Disraeli. Him and his damn book writing.
26:14Ruination of the Conservative Party.
26:19I saw it coming.
26:22No, I mean, that uncertainty that was running me. That was only the beginning.
26:26It would be downhill from that moment on, in my humble opinion.
26:30What now? Well, five minutes, not more, and on comes that Oliver Cromwell.
26:36Terrible man with a face no fear.
26:38Oh, Scarborough.
26:41Even when they buried him, they dug him up again, put his head on a pint outside Westminster.
26:49I blame the Romans. If Magnus Maxwell had hung on here, instead of pulling out his boots,
26:55most things got a bit tricky. A picture today would be a very different one.
27:00Well, did I turn wrong? What bad articles did I do when I was small?
27:38No! No, I say! I'm not far as it sounds!
27:59They wait for Anna Cole. She seems a nice world. She flattens him.
28:03Then, making jealous of his artisticness, they leap. Well, Anna Cole can leap too!
28:10In the words of the so-called poet Shakespeare,
28:14if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? Anna Cole shall have his revengement.
28:22Right. Now, I shall take Madeleine to the garden and talk to her of hearts that yearn,
28:28intimating that there is one such actually on the premises.
28:31Then, after about a quarter of an hour or so, you'll turn up and take over,
28:34because by that time, her emotions will be so churned up, it'll be like leaping on a moving bus.
28:39The last time I leapt on a moving bus, Bertie, I hurt myself rather badly.
28:43Yes, it was more sort of in front of a bus, wasn't it, Gussie?
28:46Yes, but Bertie, what shall I say?
28:47There are hundreds of things you can say. You can say
28:50how you often thought that the stars are God's daisy chain.
28:54God's daisy chain?
28:57Do you mind if I take some notes?
28:58Note away.
28:59God's daisy chain.
29:01And then you can go on to say that twilight always makes you feel sad.
29:05Why?
29:07Well, yes, well, that's precisely what you'll ask you, and then you'll have her.
29:10Your reply will be that it's because yours is such a lonely life.
29:14In fact, it might be a good idea to give her a description of a typical evening at home
29:18in Lincolnshire, intimating how you pace the meadows with a heavy tread.
29:21I generally sit indoors and listen to the wireless.
29:23No, you don't, Gussie. You pace the meadows with a heavy tread,
29:27wishing there was someone there to love you.
29:29After that, it's easy. You just grab her by the hands,
29:31tell her you've got something to say to her, and then say it.
29:34Better have a couple of quick ones first.
29:35What, dinks?
29:36Do you mean?
29:37But I don't drink.
29:39You don't drink?
29:40No.
29:41No, I didn't know that.
29:43Fitty.
29:44It's generally acknowledged that a moderate skinful on these occasions is of the essence.
29:48Well, I suppose I could have some orange juice.
29:52Well, yes, if you think it would help.
29:54It might be a good idea to heave a bit of a sigh at this point.
29:57Heave a sigh.
29:59Then grab her by the hand and give her the works.
30:01Grab hand, give works.
30:05And that's all there is to it.
30:07Thank you, Bertie.
30:12Well, would you, um, uh, would you like some, uh, coffee, Andrea?
30:21No, thank you, Mr. Blossom.
30:28Hello, Angela.
30:30Hello, Tuppy.
30:37Yes.
30:42Ah, Jeeves.
30:43Haven't seen Miss Bassett around anywhere, have you?
30:46No, she is, I believe, sir, in the sewing room.
30:48Sewing room.
30:50If it'll allow me, sir.
30:51Ah.
30:52I trust your dinner plan was a success, sir?
30:55Howling, Jeeves.
30:56As you'll no doubt be surprised to hear,
30:58Tuppy and Miss Travers are reunited in the drawing room.
31:01This is indeed good news, sir.
31:04Ill-informed servants haul gossip,
31:06had it that the cook, Anatole, had given his notice, sir.
31:09Yes, well, of course, I'm not in a position to comment on chit-chat, Jeeves,
31:13but I suppose there is always a possibility.
31:14Anatole is foreign, Jeeves.
31:17Really, sir?
31:18And therefore, excitable.
31:20I shall bear it in mind, sir.
31:24The sewing room, sir.
31:26Thank you, Jeeves.
31:30Ah, man, that old thing.
31:31Care for a stroll?
31:32Jolly good.
31:34That dinner tonight, I couldn't eat any of it, of course.
31:39Far, far too upset.
31:43But look, I don't suppose you noticed,
31:45but I actually pushed away a whole plate of roast lamb.
31:49For God's sake!
31:51Oh, Bertie, what a beautiful night.
31:53Rather.
31:54All the little flowers have closed their eyes.
31:56Really?
31:56And all the little stars have woken up.
31:58Oh, good Lord.
32:00Oh, look, the little bunnies.
32:03How still they are.
32:06Yes, yes, they are marvellously still, they are, yes.
32:09You know, Madeleine, it's a funny old world.
32:12As a matter of fact, where are you going?
32:15I thought we were going for a walk.
32:17I, uh, I thought we had.
32:22Oh, Bertie.
32:26Psst, psst, are you there?
32:30Psst, psst, Psst, Gussie.
32:38What are you doing, Bertie?
32:39Oh, well, I thought there was a snake or, no, maybe not.
32:44I think old Mr. Moon is ever so shy, Bertie.
32:48He keeps hiding behind the clouds.
32:50Yes, yes, he does, doesn't he?
32:52Yes, now, Madeleine, um, talking of being shy, you know,
32:56there's an aching heart here at Brinkley Court.
32:58Oh, yes.
33:00Life is very sad, isn't it?
33:02Yes, well, it is for some people, yes.
33:04Well, now, we can take this aching heart, for instance.
33:06Um, this.
33:08Oh, yes.
33:11Now, we can take this aching heart, for instance.
33:13Um, this heart that I'm talking about is aching like bilio.
33:17You mean for love?
33:19Problem is, it can't quite bring itself up to scratch
33:21to tell you the position.
33:23Just as it's about to give you the ESP,
33:25it catches sight of you sideways and words fail it.
33:27It's silly, of course, but, uh, there it is.
33:29Oh, don't say any more, Bertie.
33:33No, right.
33:35Well, I wasn't going to, actually, uh, that's about it, I think.
33:38I suspected this at Cairn
33:40when you used to stand and stare at me
33:42without saying a word,
33:44but with whole volumes in your eyes.
33:46No!
33:48Yes!
33:50A girl always knows.
33:52And then you followed me down here
33:54and there was that same dumb,
33:56yearning look in your eyes
33:58and now you stammer out these halting words.
34:00Now,
34:02it doesn't come as a surprise.
34:04But I'm
34:06Sorry, Bertie, but I'm afraid it's impossible.
34:10Oh, really?
34:12Oh, well, it can't be helped.
34:14Oh, dear.
34:16Life is such a muddle, isn't it?
34:18Yes.
34:20Well, yes, I always say that.
34:22Life is such a muddle, I say.
34:24Wait a minute.
34:26Do you mean there's someone else?
34:28But he doesn't care for me.
34:30Well, at least he hasn't said anything.
34:32You see, I was staying with some friends in the country
34:35and I'd gone for a walk with my dog
34:37and a poor wee mite got a nasty thorn in its little foot
34:39and I didn't know what to do.
34:41And suddenly
34:43this handsome man came along.
34:45What?
34:47I beg your pardon?
34:49Nothing, nothing.
34:51I've just remembered there's a letter
34:53I must write tonight without fail.
34:55Good heavens!
34:57There's Gussie Fink-Nottle.
34:59Where?
35:01Over there.
35:05Ah, yes, there he is.
35:07Um...
35:09Yes, well, I think I'd better be going in.
35:11Gussie will take care of you.
35:23Ah, Tubby, I wanted to see you.
35:25Oh, yes. Well, I'm here, aren't I?
35:27Has Angela come clustering round yet?
35:29No, she has not.
35:31Oh, that's very odd.
35:34She must have noticed your lack of appetite.
35:36Lack of appetite?
35:38I'm as hollow as the Grand Canyon.
35:40Oh, be brave, Tubby.
35:42Fix your thoughts on that cold-staking kidney pie in the larder.
35:44You would go and bring that up, wouldn't you,
35:46just as I've managed to stop thinking about it?
35:48Well...
35:50Why don't you just buzz off, Wooster?
35:52Right.
35:58Hello, Aunt Delia.
36:00How dare you
36:02show your face in here?
36:04Oh, Aunt Delia, if I may say something,
36:06you seem somewhat pipped.
36:08Pipped?
36:10But stand fast, Aunt Delia, because pretty soon Uncle Tom
36:12will be along here full of sympathy and anxious inquiry.
36:14Do you know where my husband is?
36:16Well, he was here at dinner.
36:18I know he was here at dinner,
36:20you nincompoop.
36:22He is now in his study,
36:24his face buried in his hands,
36:26groaning about civilisation.
36:30Any chance that I had of getting the money off him
36:32is now gone.
36:34Why?
36:36Because Anatole has given notice.
36:38What?
36:40Anatole has given notice
36:42as a result of one of your driveling schemes.
36:44Oh, good heavens.
36:46It's no God saying good heavens.
36:48Well, yes.
36:50Now, you're upset,
36:52and that's understandable.
36:54Certainly this is a nasty jar for one and all.
36:56The only nasty jar there is
36:59is the one I'm going to put your remains in.
37:01Now, Aunt Delia, don't do anything hasty
37:03because I can fix everything.
37:05Don't you dare
37:07try one of your lunatic schemes.
37:09Ah!
37:11Ah!
37:15Oh!
37:27Something missed, Jeeves?
37:29Mr Fink-Nottle is feeling unwell, sir.
37:33Everybody's been very kind.
37:35No complaints to make.
37:37No complaints at all.
37:41I wish the world was a newt.
37:45But how could anything go wrong?
37:47All he had to do was propose.
37:49So one would be disposed to imagine, sir.
37:51However, upon finding himself alone
37:53with the young lady,
37:55he confesses to having lost his nerve.
37:57In such circumstances,
37:59gentlemen frequently talk at random, sir,
38:01saying the first thing that chances
38:03to enter their head.
38:05This, in Mr Fink-Nottle's case,
38:07would seem to have been the newt,
38:09its treatment in sickness and in health.
38:11Bad, Jeeves.
38:13Yes, sir.
38:15And how long did he go on talking about newts?
38:17According to Mr Fink-Nottle,
38:19he supplied Miss Bassett with very full
38:21and complete information, sir.
38:23Very bad, Jeeves.
38:25Indeed, sir.
38:27He was just observing that newts differ
38:29from salamanders in the shape of the tail
38:31and that a marked sexual dimorphism
38:33prevails in most species
38:35when the young lady rose
38:37and said she thought she would go back to the house.
38:39And then?
38:41She went, sir.
38:43Difficult, Jeeves.
38:45Yes, sir.
38:47I shall have to try and burnish the brain a bit,
38:49see if I can't find a way out of this.
38:51I'm sure Mr Fink-Nottle will be most grateful, sir.
38:53Will that be all, sir?
38:55Yes, thank you, Jeeves, yes.
38:57One moment,
38:59my fine chap, Mrs Travers.
39:01I can take a few smooths with the rough,
39:03it's true,
39:05but you do not play larks against me on my food.
39:07No.
39:09I do not remain no longer in this house.
39:11No.
39:13I dissolve and do not stay planted.
39:15I am a blighter of principle.
39:27I am a blighter of principle.
39:57I am a blighter of principle.
40:27How the English animals for the food, eh?
40:37I'll cut some of my life's English,
40:39I'll return to...
40:41Oh, no, no, no.
40:43I do not remember my knives.
40:45I'll cut some of my life's English,
40:47I'll return to...
40:49Oh, no, no, no.
40:51I do not remember my knives.
40:53I'll cut some of my life's English,
