00:00Hold fast to the law of the last cold tome
00:09Where the earth of the truth lies thick upon the page
00:17And the loam of faith in the ink long fled
00:23From the drone of the nip of blows off
00:29Till the last of the first depart
00:34And the least of the past is dust
00:39And the dust, the dust is lost
00:49Hold fast, common dust
00:58Common dust
01:08Congratulations, my ladies.
01:10You've never been braver or more brilliant.
01:12Will we get our coaches?
01:13Of course, but you must do as I've told you.
01:16Will we get our thrones?
01:17You will have everything.
01:19Now go back to your apartments and wait.
01:28Hero's stairway.
01:31As I say, Master Secretary, this day, two months hence,
01:37my lady the bird, I say, nurse the child.
01:45I want a breakfast for him.
01:47It's as simple as that.
01:49He is my son, isn't he?
01:51Are you hungry, my little love?
01:53The time chosen, Lordship, is when we should be celebrating the laureate.
01:57The poet can wait.
01:59Why is everybody so old?
02:00The solstice.
02:03The solstice.
02:04The solstice.
02:05Can't.
02:06Neither, therefore, can the consecration of the moth.
02:10My dear.
02:11It is scheduled for that day by rote and moon.
02:15What's wrong with your sister?
02:17It's a case of atmosphere, as far as I can judge it,
02:19and very short notice, your ladyship.
02:21Smoke, smoke.
02:23Flay, open the door.
02:25I think the matter is settled, Mr. Secretary.
02:27As this gathering was sanctioned without recourse to me,
02:30I shall consider its conclusions to be nothing more than an aberration.
02:34It shall go unnoted, unrecorded, and unrepeated.
02:38Door locked, Lordship.
02:39Locked, therefore, the door's locked.
02:41What's that?
02:43A bird, my dear, flying high out of the smoke.
02:48Mrs. Slagg, kindly convey his minute lordship to the door
02:52and hold his mouth to the keyhole.
02:54Keyhole? I never heard of such a thing.
02:56Where's my rook?
02:57It's getting thicker. What are we going to do, Dr. Proulx?
02:59Is there another door, Lordship?
03:01Locked for years. I don't know where it is.
03:03Then could we breach the original, battery and assault, that kind of thing.
03:07Flay!
03:08Out, Lordship. Forage!
03:10Ah! Flay!
03:13Slagg!
03:16Take his young master to the door, as I told you.
03:19Oh, we're going to be trapped by Flay, Delbert.
03:22Dr. Proulx!
03:23Damn gathering!
03:25This is what you get for unprecedented breakfast!
03:29Flay!
03:31My library!
03:33Slagg!
03:34I am the keyhole!
03:36My book! My book!
03:45Alfred!
03:47Oh, my humiliating sister, please sit down.
03:50Alfred will do the rest.
03:52We're going to die!
03:54Oh, sit down! Damn you!
03:56Father!
03:57Lady Pucca, be so good as to see that Mrs. Slagg keeps Titus by the door.
04:02Father! Is that you?
04:04It is. Or rather, Prune Squalor, which is, if I may say so, for strictly correct.
04:09Quiet, man! Smash a window!
04:11Yes, Your Ladyship.
04:12Dr. Proulx, over here. It's Mrs. Slagg.
04:16Madam Ladyship, the baby. Hold him to the keyhole.
04:19No, no, no. Lie still.
04:21There's air beneath the door. Yes. Lie still.
04:24Lie still.
04:25Yes, Dr.
04:26Flay!
04:28Mr. Flay, where is the largest window?
04:30North wall. Can't reach it. No balcony.
04:35Alfred!
04:37Madam Ladyship, give him the child. Give him the child.
04:40Now find your father and ask him to throw his cane at the window.
04:45Is that you, Pucca? Where's Master Torque?
04:48Damn the birds!
04:49Find your father and tell him to smash the glass.
04:52What do you say, Squalor? Come here!
04:54My books! My books!
04:57The doctor said your cane, father.
05:00Mr. Flay, Dr. Proulx, the secretary's on fire. He's burning!
05:04Here, hold your son. Mr. Flay!
05:11Leave him, Flay.
05:13Take your master's cane. Throw it at the window.
05:19Try it, man!
05:21Not heavy enough, madam.
05:23Paperweight on the table. Find it.
05:26Throw the paperweight. Where? I can't find it.
05:28Then climb the shelves to the window and smash it with your father's cane.
05:33Well, help her, Mr. Flay!
05:35Master Torque! Master Torque!
05:38Master Torque!
05:41Alfred, I'm your sister.
05:44Keep steady, Alfred. Keep steady.
05:46Flay, hand your ladyship the cane. She can reach the window from there.
05:50Oh, my God, Flay!
05:59My books!
06:01Help! Help!
06:04Hold your horses! I'm letting down the ladder!
06:07My books! My books!
06:12Where's my bird? Where is he?
06:15Flay, wait!
06:17Master Torque! Where is he?
06:20Here. Take him. Take him out of here.
06:24Out of here! Hold him.
06:28Flay!
06:30Mrs. Slack!
06:34Good man, Flay. Good man.
06:37Come now, Mrs. Slack. First the left foot.
06:39Then the right.
06:41Your young ladyship. Thank you, Dr. Proulx.
06:43After you, your ladyship.
06:45You don't know how to speak, squalor. You've done my bird.
06:48Come, squirming sister. I need time to breathe the air.
06:52And you. You, sir. Mr. Secretary.
06:59Lordship. Lordship.
07:02My books. My books.
07:06This way.
07:12Now, not you.
07:21My books. My books.
07:32The A.B.M.
07:36The A.B.M.
07:41My son?
07:43You said the boy.
07:45My son. Where is my son?
07:48You said bring the boy, lordship, the rescuer.
07:52It's him!
07:55I meant my son, not him.
07:58I said I want my son.
08:00You'll see your son for this damned breakfast. Get out!
08:04It was a great privilege to have you. I said out!
08:07Standing grimacing like a red-arsed baboon. Get out!
08:10Thank you, lordship.
08:12I say the iron rule. No change.
08:15Who was that?
08:17Damned gatherings.
08:19I'm chosen. I'm celebrating the laureate.
08:22By the root, the way of the stone.
08:26Would you care to take the air of the day, lordship?
08:30Damned library! Damned breakfast!
08:33None of this should have happened!
08:35Doctor. Lordship.
08:37Who...
08:41Who burnt my books?
08:45They will all look at us at the breakfast.
08:48Because we're of the original blood and because we're perfect.
08:53Why don't you knock?
08:55I beg pardon, your ladyships.
08:57Where's our thrones? You said we'd have them when we're done the burning.
09:01Every successful revolution has its own pace, your ladyships.
09:05Too slow, you rot. Too fast, you fail.
09:08Slow? Rot? Fast? What?
09:10Don't rush. Power must have secure foundations.
09:16Do you want your coaches? Your servants?
09:19Our thrones!
09:20Do you want them for a weekend and then have to give them back?
09:23We'll never give them back because we haven't got them.
09:26Not yet. But you will.
09:30Why don't you listen to me? Haven't I helped you?
09:34Look how far you've come already.
09:37Don't you trust me?
09:40Do you want me to go away? I can. I can go any time you want me to.
09:44He told us to burn, didn't he?
09:46We can tell them what he said. We can say...
09:49Thrones!
09:51I have no doubt which one you'll choose.
09:53It is unique in a whole history of thrones.
09:56That one.
09:58And right you are. I shall see the goldsmith in the morning.
10:01I want mine soon. So do I.
10:03Ladies, why insult me?
10:05Why insult yourselves?
10:07These are objects of art. They take time.
10:12What?
10:14Do you want to be considered laughingstocks?
10:16Sitting on great big yellow stools?
10:20If you want the best, you have to wait.
10:22Wait? Did he say wait?
10:24I don't think we'll wait.
10:26I don't think we'll tell them what he said.
10:28You will wait. And you will sit down and wait.
10:32And any more talk of burning and you will be hanged.
10:35Hanged from your tree at the castle wall with the hangman's rope.
10:40I will see to it personally.
10:42Do you understand me?
10:45Good.
10:47Now you will have your thrones.
10:49They will be the finest ever made.
10:51All you have to do is listen to me.
10:54Now go to the breakfast as you have been invited as part of the family.
10:57Keep your mouths shut.
11:00Do you understand?
11:02You shall have it all.
11:04Gormenghast.
11:06All of it.
11:08All yours.
11:10Now.
11:12What do you say?
11:16One by one.
11:19We shall stock another three tonight.
11:23This is where the poets will be.
11:26The philosophers over there, I think.
11:29Takes much thought to build a library.
11:34How many have we done so far?
11:36Seven shelves, father.
11:37Then three more, child. Three more.
11:39Yes, father.
11:41That's it. That's it.
11:44Now we have space for the Sonean poets.
11:47Have you the books ready?
11:49I've collected them here.
11:53Who are you?
11:55I'm your daughter.
12:03I have a son.
12:06I know that.
12:09He is...
12:11Titus.
12:14He will be Earl of Gormenghast.
12:19He will be Earl of Gormenghast...
12:23when I am dead.
12:25He is my brother.
12:31And so you are my daughter, are you?
12:39What's your name?
12:41Fuchsia.
12:45Fuchsia.
12:49I don't think I know Fuchsia.
12:54Do I?
12:56Do I know you, Fuchsia?
13:01I suppose we don't know each other that well,
13:03but I should very much like to know you better.
13:08Oh, would you?
13:12Mm-hmm.
13:16Yes, I see.
13:20The books and Fuchsia.
13:32Here are the poets you asked for.
13:34Shall I start putting them on the first long shelf for you?
13:38The poets.
13:40Ah, yes, the poets.
13:43We should never have had the poets.
13:48They tell us, you see.
13:51Their pen is the pulse, Fuchsia.
13:57Their voice is the bell.
14:01Their words travel down...
14:07and down.
14:11And...
14:14on...
14:16and on...
14:19into nothing.
14:22And on... and on...
14:25into such nothing.
14:28Nothing. Nothing.
14:31Father, the books!
14:41No, no, no, no, no!
14:44Father, please! I can't bear it!
14:49Please!
15:02I think you've made a mistake.
15:11You are not my daughter.
15:14How could you be?
15:17Come here and I'll tell you.
15:20Come, come.
15:25I am not your father.
15:30You see, I live up there.
15:40You see, I am the Death Owl.
16:10I am the Death Owl.
16:41My little precious.
16:58Good night, Mr Flea.
17:10It won't be long before I go, little one.
17:13It's nearly my time.
17:16Feel your little sister.
17:18She's moving.
17:20Feel her.
17:23You'll learn from her things you'll never learn here.
17:26I promise you.
17:31I hate it here.
17:33They won't have me down outside, will they?
17:37I hate them too.
17:39She's better than all of them.
17:41And she's better than you, too.
17:43Though you'll never admit it.
17:47Sleep well, little boy.
17:50Dream of her.
17:57What's that? What's what?
17:59That's his lordship's kitchen bell.
18:01It's not sunrise. It's not time for the breakfast.
18:04What's he want to go and ring his bell for in the middle of the night?
18:10What?
18:12Breakfast?
18:14We haven't even done the quail's eggs yet.
18:16What's he playing at?
18:21Oi! Slugs!
18:23Get up!
18:25Move!
18:29Father!
18:39Father!
18:47Lordship?
18:52Lordship?
18:58Lordship!
19:03Lordship!
19:06Lordship!
19:09Lordship!
19:15Lordship?
19:19Lordship!
19:21Father!
19:23Father?
19:25Father! Stop doing that!
19:28Please listen. I love you.
19:31No! Out, fart!
19:34This is not for you. Back to vile kitchen!
19:37Chef, have you set your traps?
19:44Traps?
19:45Traps. Are you deaf?
19:47Are they full?
19:49Or have the cats got them?
19:51Oh, my traps?
19:54No, no, no. The cats are out for the night.
19:57What are you waiting for?
19:59Bring me a mouse.
20:02Twigs! Every kind!
20:05I intend to study the twig as one should.
20:09Study and build.
20:13A nest, you idiot.
20:22Doctor, can you do something?
20:24Yes, take this.
20:28Lordship?
20:30May I be of assistance?
20:32May I be of help, Doctor?
20:35I heard the bell.
20:37Who are you?
20:38Steerpike, Lordship, my assistant.
20:41Talk to him, boy. Get his attention.
20:44I assist the Doctor in his dispensary, sir.
20:48You may remember me from the library.
20:52The library?
20:55My library!
20:58No!
21:00I told you, Steerpike, under the bed!
21:03Handle him carefully. Do not ruffle his feathers.
21:09A wing. Give me the wing.
21:11Arm! His arm, boy.
21:21That was quick work, Doctor.
21:23What chemical was that?
21:25I'm in no mood for the pharmaceutical, Master Steerpike.
21:28Mr. Flay, hot water, wash and brush.
21:30Get him dressed for the breakfast.
21:32And why not?
21:33Lordship is as Lordship does.
21:35Will he be able to go?
21:37We'll do our best, my little friend.
21:41My dear chef, why do you look so blue?
21:44I will prepare the breakfast as you say, Doctor.
21:48Soon, Mr. Flay.
21:53Oh, Doctor, why is everything going so wrong?
22:03Nothing!
22:07Nothing!
22:09And you, have you never seen a fork before?
22:12He goes here, here.
22:15How can I be expected to lay the table for a feast
22:19that isn't even in the damn book?
22:23And will the ass come, having put us through all this?
22:26Will the ass come?
22:28Thinks he's a bird.
22:30You, you can button your lip, arsewipe.
22:32Anything I say here is not for repetition by the likes of you.
22:36Do you understand? Damn breakfast!
22:39My husband is now an owl, Master Chalk.
22:43I'd say it was an improvement.
22:46Ladyship, he's in his lavender velvet, ladyship.
22:52So what?
22:54Well, I've never done a breakfast, ladyship.
22:56The secretary barked out and said,
22:58lavender, very smallness.
23:01So why are you asking me?
23:03Go away.
23:04Yes, ladyship.
23:06Wait.
23:07I know this is difficult for you,
23:10but I want you to try and answer a simple question.
23:12Ladyship.
23:13Stop saying ladyship, I haven't asked you anything yet.
23:16Who is that youth spear kite?
23:18Where did you meet him?
23:20Long ago, ladyship.
23:23I said where, not when.
23:27With Lady Fuchsia, madam.
23:31And where does he come from?
23:33Where could he come from, ladyship, madam?
23:36He must come from somewhere.
23:39The same brilliant slag.
23:48And stop crying.
23:52Birds don't cry.
23:54Cats don't cry.
23:56So why should nannies?
23:58Go away.
24:04Spear kite.
24:06What do you think, Master Chalk?
24:09Aargh!
24:19Marty for the madman.
24:21You should put bells on it.
24:23What do you want?
24:25You, as a matter of fact.
24:27Doctor says hurry up.
24:29Me, doctor?
24:31What for?
24:32You play lordship,
24:35Lordship.
24:37No trousers.
24:43Flay.
24:45Can't make whole sentence.
24:49Never mind.
24:51Flay.
24:54Good servant.
24:56If a bit simple.
24:58If you dare, boy.
24:59Lick my neck.
25:01Me dirty.
25:03Too much underling in the air.
25:10Out!
25:22You throw my cat.
25:26You touch my cat.
25:29You are no more.
25:37You are ended.
25:42This castle ejects you.
25:50You stay one week.
25:52One week.
25:54And another servant shall be found for the earl.
25:57One week.
25:58And one week only.
26:00And then you go.
26:14Now.
26:16We have seen true madness, haven't we, my little ones?
26:22True, true madness.
26:28Doctor!
26:30Where the hell is he?
26:32I'm here, sir.
26:58Mr. Secretary, you may begin.
27:01Chef!
27:03Now!
27:11The first breakfast, as unwarranted by tradition, creates a precedence.
27:19A precedence.
27:21As unwarranted by tradition, creates a precedence.
27:26A precedence.
27:28Once accepted, becomes tradition.
27:31I can't bear it.
27:33I love him so much.
27:35I must be brave.
27:37There's no one else to look after him.
27:39Or as in this case, caused by the unhealthy love of a father for his son.
27:44Get on with it, you idiot.
27:46Cat thrower.
27:47Remarkable phenomenon.
27:50Mother won't look after him.
27:53Banished.
27:55Of course not!
27:57Therefore, clearly, our precedent cannot be founded on love.
28:02Neither can it on the accidental or the irrational.
28:05We, therefore, of necessity.
28:08Darkness.
28:10Must seek our precedent as one founded in reason.
28:15I can't keep giving him the pills.
28:18That damned owl will hoot again sooner or later.
28:22I must get a man. A man. A man. A man.
28:25What else is there?
28:26Reason is the all and everything.
28:29Soon, Mr. Flea.
28:32Is developed thus.
28:34Point one, the child.
28:36Titus.
28:38Before us is young lord.
28:41Point two, young lord is heir to it.
28:44All and everything.
28:46We want our thrones.
28:51We want our thrones.
28:53Point four, breakfast is food.
28:56And finally, point five, food is produced by the peasants.
29:02So, simply put.
29:03I want my daddy.
29:05Is set and laid in the stones as follows.
29:08Darkness.
29:10On this day.
29:13At this time.
29:15Every year as the years roll.
29:18Darkness.
29:19In honor of the heir's right to sustenance.
29:24By the people.
29:26The peasants shall provide his lordship's breakfast.
29:32I want my books.
29:34Daddy.
29:35I want my books.
29:37I want my daddy.
29:41Pull me weaker.
29:43Daddy.
29:45Lordship.
29:48Get him down.
29:50I have a son.
29:52Where is my son?
29:54Master George.
29:58Lordship.
30:00Lordship.
30:01Mr. Flea.
30:03Who has done this?
30:14Hi sweetie.
30:28Let go of my lord.
30:31Your son is elsewhere.
30:33Come on, fly.
30:35Fly on, let we.
30:37Let weep.
30:42Anything I can do, Doctor?
30:48No?
30:50Sure.
30:52Anything at all?
30:59Is there any hope for him?
31:00A hope? For his lordship?
31:03Hope?
31:04Oh, that is a concept of the highest order, Ladyship.
31:06A hopeful concept, hope.
31:08Squalor, do we have any?
31:13My sister hopes for a male, Ladyship.
31:15I beg...
31:17My sister?
31:18I heard you the first time.
31:19Your sister? A man?
31:22Spends her days in the bath.
31:23Hope springs eternal, I believe, is the correct...
31:26Squalor, get out.
31:27I want reports on his lordship every hour on the hour.
31:31Have I made myself clear?
31:32Yes.
31:33As the great chime of the great...
31:36Out.
31:47Something stinks, my dears.
31:50And it's not Squalor.
31:59Poor little lordship.
32:01Oh, you poor old nanny.
32:02We mustn't let that little wethead get cold.
32:06Ah, where's that girl?
32:09Where have you been, you naughty girl?
32:11You know very well it's the day for his little lordship's all over.
32:16What are you doing?
32:17It's time, nanny. I've been waiting for you to get back.
32:20You can't go.
32:22I'll tell her, Ladyship.
32:23Don't I have enough on my plate?
32:25Come here, little one.
32:27You can't go back to them out there,
32:30because they hate you.
32:32You're having a bastard.
32:34Maybe I won't go there.
32:35Where, then?
32:36I don't know.
32:39I wish I could take you with me.
32:42I love you, little one.
32:44You'll remember your tiny sister, won't you?
32:46He's not his sister. Don't ever say that.
32:49Sister, indeed.
32:51Don't matter what you say, nanny, or me.
32:53He'll know.
32:56Don't go.
32:59What'll I do?
33:01Bye, nanny.
33:03Bye, my little boy.
33:06Bye.
33:09Don't go.
33:11You can't.
33:16Oh, my weak heart.
34:01Tonight,
34:03my precious.
34:09Tonight,
34:11Mr Flea.
34:31I'll be back.
34:58What is it, Master Chalk?
35:01For you, my little red and wet pretty one, then I shall wipe you dry with silk.
35:30Mr. Fyre!
35:43Kitchen scum!
36:26They will take me in.
36:49Lordship.
36:50Good night, Mr. Flea.
37:14Kitchen slug at your service.
37:19Delicious.
37:20Scum!
37:21Where are you?
37:22Nightmare servant, Flea.
37:23Wait.
37:24Wake, my precious.
37:25You shall be clean and silvery before you eat.
37:26And now, for dinner.
37:28Ah!
37:29Ah!
37:30Ah!
37:31Ah!

38:29Ah!
38:34Ah!
38:35Ah!
38:39Ah!
38:45Oh!
38:46Hey!
38:47Hey!

38:49Hey!
38:50Yeah!
38:51Ah!
38:52Ah!
38:53Ah!
38:54Death, servant, now!
39:10There is much to be done, Flea.
39:24They will enjoy him.
39:33Lordship?
39:36Heave, Mr. Flea!
39:41Heave!
39:44This is my hour, you see.
39:49Heave, Mr. Flea!
39:52Heave!
40:01This is my time.
40:04Lord?
40:06Go now.
40:12Goodbye, my dear Mr. Flea.
40:16Oh, no, Lordship! No, no, no!
40:41Go on, go on.
41:11Goodbye, Mr. Flea.
41:40Anything?
41:43No, sir. Come on, let's be having you.
41:45Are you? Third stairs, take the dog.
41:48Yes, sir.
41:50Is the east wing completed?
41:52The east wing has 638 rooms on the first floor,
41:56503 on the second and 700 on the third.
41:59Captain Rutcock!
42:01Not counting auxiliary buildings, extensions,
42:04anterooms, closets, attics, basements,
42:07unfrogged passages, unknown regions, darkness and rot.
42:11And have you found him?
42:13Not a log grown in any of them, master sneer-bite.
42:17Steer, Pike.
42:19And don't get on the wrong side of me, Rutcock,
42:21or I'll see you scrub stone on the jailhouse floor.
42:24Look and look again.
42:26His lordship will be found.
42:28Captain Rutcock!
42:30Call off the dogs.
42:32Come with me, snake-shite!
42:39You'll regret that.
42:44Not found him?
42:45Nine days.
42:47Not found him?
42:48Such nine days!
42:5275 hours in the history of time,
42:55not one has ever gone missing.
42:58They die, abdicate, go mad,
43:01take up arms, kill each other,
43:03eat their children, mutilate themselves,
43:06split, shriek, decompose,
43:08but never, never disappear.
43:13And Earl is the mast.
43:15He is the path, the marrow in the bone.
43:18Without him, we are hollow.
43:20I am aware of the traditions and history of this castle.
43:23The chef, Swelter, have you found him?
43:25Chef? A chef cooks?
43:27What is there to cook if the master is not there to eat?
43:29Chef, he comes, he goes, he's nothing.
43:32Lordship is all...
43:34Secretary Barkentine.
43:35No!
43:37Your Lordship,
43:39greatest, greatest respect.
43:43I'm secretary to us.
43:46Responsible to it all.
43:48Nine days, nine days,
43:51no ceremony, no obeisance,
43:53no authority,
43:55no daily rite and passage,
43:58no heart pumping the blood of rule.
44:02We are disrupted.
44:07His Lordship is gone.
44:09Long live his Lordship.
44:11What did you say?
44:12Long live his Lordship.
44:13Titus.
44:14Exactly.
44:15Titus is barely a year old.
44:16Long may he live.
44:18We shall prepare the earling...
44:21Barkentine.
44:22Next Thursday, the longest day.
44:25It is propitious.
44:28You may go.
44:29An earling, Your Ladyship.
44:31There is much to be done.
44:34Lord Graham?
44:39It's gone.
44:41History.
44:43There is no alternative to what I say.
44:49Then you must do it, Mr Secretary.
44:51Now go.
44:54Oh.
44:55Oh.
44:56Oh.
44:57Oh.
44:58Oh.
44:59Oh.
45:13Open them up, you bastard.
45:18What is this?
45:19That is the book of the law, sir.
45:20What is law?
45:22Which always has been, sir.
45:23Right.
45:24Which always has been.
45:26Good, good, good.
45:27What else?
45:28It is destiny, sir.
45:29Law is destiny.
45:31And...
45:33obedience...
45:37is tradition.
45:39Don't forget that.
45:40That is the all and everything.
45:43Do you understand?
45:45Yes, sir.
45:46Good.
45:48You're in a secret house.
45:50There is work to be done.
45:52Too much work.
45:54Who is your master?
45:56None, sir.
45:58I try to make myself useful here and there.
46:00Oh, don't try and rook me.
46:02Sneer sight I see through you.
46:04Bones and brain.
46:06Your master is the doctor.
46:07No doubt he'll be pleased to be rid of you.
46:09No more here and there, here and there for you.
46:11Here, here, by me.
46:12You understand?
46:13I'm now your master.
46:16You may be useful.
46:18We have an early...
46:21raft to be built.
46:23It's all here.
46:26Come on, come on.
46:29Read it.
46:30Study.
46:36How much will I be paid, sir?
46:37What?
46:39Rats!
46:40You'll keep.
46:42In the honour of studying time itself,
46:46the runes of Gormenghast.
46:54Are you ready?
46:56I have never been more so, sir.
46:58Then start.
47:00The earling.
47:02Read!
47:13Well, well.
47:15You did ask me.
47:19Earling.
47:21Earling.
47:26An earling?
47:27Our brother's dead.
47:29Our brother's gone.
47:30So why give the power to a baby?
47:32It's ours.
47:38So why should we wait?
47:41Mr Steerpike.
47:43Mr Steerpike?
47:44We must see about Mr Steerpike, mustn't we?
47:47He told us to do it, didn't he?
47:49He told us to burn, didn't he?
47:51So we can tell them what he said, can't we?
47:54Of course we can.
48:02Oh, look at you, me lovely smallness.
48:06No father.
48:08Not that I'd call him a father to look after you.
48:11No fat chef to cook for you.
48:14No Mr Flay still.
48:16We can do without that long string of black bone, can't we?
48:20No, we can't.
48:22I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to your little brother.
48:25I don't care who you were talking to.
48:27We can't do without Mr Flay.
48:29We can't do without my father either.
48:32I don't care how wonderful Titus is.
48:34He's just a baby.
48:37The top. And by the top,
48:39I mean the very last cubic inch of the morning to you, my dears.
48:43Are we enjoying this delicious breeze?
48:47Dr Poole, I'm so glad you've come.
48:50I'm delighted to see you, my dear.
48:52And Mrs Slag? At peace, I hope. Carnally speaking, that is.
48:55I ebb and I flow.
48:57And what is it that ebbs and what that flows, my dear little woman?
49:00Is it your heart that's tidal, or your nerves, or your liver?
49:03Doctor, can I talk to you?
49:05Yes.
49:06And please don't use any long words.
49:08I have some terrible worries.
49:10My dear ladyship,
49:12always a shoulder, or an ear,
49:14or indeed, any part of my anatomy,
49:17at your disposal.
49:19Oh, Alfred! The ladyship!
49:21To hell with the old trouts.
49:23Breastless as wallpaper.
49:25My last post-mortem and more life in it.
49:27Ladyships!
49:33We've seen someone.
49:35Are you referring to me, ladyships?
49:37Don't be stupid. We're talking to you, aren't we?
49:42There.
49:44Oh, raft-makers preparing for the earling.
49:46Only four days now, young lordship.
49:48What was that? I heard a splash.
49:50I'm not surprised, my butterfly.
49:52Alfred, why are you so tiresome? Why are you not surprised?
49:55Because that is exactly what it is, my peahen.
49:58An authentic, undiluted splash.
50:01And made by our ex-dispenser,
50:03now assistant to Barclayntine.
50:05If these eyes can recognise a certain naked appendage
50:08as one attached to a certain seapike.
50:12We are the only ladies present, aren't we?
50:15What about it?
50:17We'll go down to the water's edge
50:19and unbend to him.
50:21Will it hurt?
50:23Oh, why are you so ignorant?
50:27I only just saw you, Lady Fuchsia.
50:30How is your health, Miss Anna?
50:34Watch yourselves, ladies. You'll get wet.
50:39Ladies!
50:41You do me too much honour.
50:43Ladies!
50:52We're unbending to you, Mr Theodore.
50:55We're unbending to you, Mr Searpike.
50:57Because there's so much that you told us to do
51:00and so much that we could say, Mr Searpike.
51:03Be quiet, you idiots.
51:05Sit down at once.
51:09Ah.
51:15Now go back to your apartments.
51:17Any more talk of fire
51:19and it'll be the hangman for you.
51:21Hangman. Do you understand?
51:24Hangman.
51:43Beats me, Doctor.
51:45You beat me to the very pack, dear boy.
51:48Have a heart and swim away.
51:50We're so tired of the sight of your abdomen.
51:54Good day to you, Lady Fuchsia.
52:04You will be careful of him, won't you, my dear young ladyship?
52:07Of course, Doctor Poo.
52:11Whoo!
52:14Ah!
52:17Your throats are white and long for strangling.
52:20Sisters of a brother send mad by burning.
52:23You shall hang.
52:25You shall hang!
52:27Ah!
52:29Ah!
52:31Whoo-hoo!
52:33Whoo-hoo-hoo!
52:35Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
52:37Ah!
52:39Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
52:42Ah!
52:44Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
52:46Ah!
52:48Ah!
53:12Are you skunks ready?
53:15Then push off, idiots!
53:17Push off!
53:28So, the tiniest thing in the world is an earl today.
53:33Someday, they're going to come and take him away from me.
53:37They didn't take me, did they?
53:39Well, they don't take silly girls, do they?
53:41Well, they should. Shouldn't they?
53:48Mmm!
53:50Ah!
53:52Ah!
53:55Come on! Come on!
53:58It'll be winter before we're done!
54:01No!
54:10No!
54:11Hold!
54:13Forth to the west!
54:15And hide your damned selves under the dead water!
54:22Under the dead water!
54:31The day has come, young lordship.
54:37The castle awaits your sovereignty.
54:42Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
54:46From horizon to horizon,
54:51all is yours.
54:55For God's sake, pick it up!
54:59Pick it up, one of you!
55:01Give the little runt his stone back and the ivy!
55:05I'll do it.
55:06Stay where you are, beardspot!
55:13Come back here, you idiot!
55:24Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
55:43Ah!
55:48Come back, you idiot!
55:52Ah!
56:06Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
56:12Ah!
56:18Ah!
56:20Ah!
56:26Ah!
56:28Ah! Ah! Ah!
56:43Ah!
56:45Ah!
56:47He's behaving his damned self!
56:50Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
56:56In the view of all,
56:59I, warden of the immemorial right,
57:06do proclaim you to be the only legitimate lord
57:14between earth and sky.
57:19Oh, my beard.
57:22Titus Gros,
57:27the seventy-seventh Earl of Gormengold.
57:34Ah, Tidus, Tidus.
57:40Tirgus, Tirgus!
57:45Tirgus!
57:48Tirgus!
57:52Tirgus!
57:58How nice to be born a groom.
58:25How nice to be born a groom.
58:55How nice to be born a groom.
59:25How nice to be born a groom.
