Transcript

00:00Flower's meant to stay for a weekend. It's been nearly five days. What could she be doing

00:18down there? Riding, walking. Farm's very charming.

00:23And yet insists on being in London. Bang, Ribbentree has seen her friends.

00:29Well, I'd love to have you to dinner, dear boy, but, um, I'm going out myself.

00:35Why to? The theatre.

00:38I wouldn't have thought Dartie's concentration span was long enough.

00:41What? What should I be concentrating on?

00:44I'm not going with Monty. I'm going with Prosper.

00:49Why don't you take Soans to your club, Monty?

00:52No, no, really. I'm meeting George.

00:55It's a revival of a Restoration play. The Country Wife.

00:59Sounds a dead bore. It's salacious.

01:01Annette wanted to go, but I didn't think it appropriate.

01:04Really? What's it about? Infidelity.

01:15Parfait. Comme toujours.

01:23Are you both coming too? That is an excellent thing.

01:27Not me, old chap. Oh, er, Mr Forkside?

01:29Bawdy muck. Think not.

01:34Then we shall have to go another time. I'm out of the picture too.

01:40Oh. But that's such a shame.

01:43A small business matter. I don't want to go. It's a dead bore, but...

01:50I'll make it up to you.

01:54If I am allowed. Of course.

02:00Then lunch? Tomorrow?

02:07I'd like that.

02:10A bientot.

02:16What does the fellow do for goodness sake?

02:18Oh, does it matter? Of course it does.

02:21Amuses me. And if you want to stay to dinner, Soans, I won't hear another word.

02:28Where did you first meet Profond?

02:31He was with you, old chap.

02:33No, no, you introduced him to me.

02:36Surely not. No, what of it?

02:39He was about. He's a good company, and he's generous with it.

02:43He's a member here now, you know.

02:45He's a good man.

02:47He's a good man.

02:49He's a good man.

02:51He's a good man.

02:53He's a good company, and he's generous with it.

02:55He's a member here now, you know.

02:57His name was on the list as I came in.

02:59Now, who put him up? They'd have the lowdown.

03:04You.

03:06Why not?

03:08You're meant to know the pedigree of the person you're proposing. It's club rules.

03:13Times have changed. The rot set in when we let you in through the doors.

03:19I was never like this, Bunch.

03:23Money talks.

03:28And that's 30. That's all right.

03:33You getting the hump about the wife?

03:35No, no.

03:37No, Freddie's just having a bit of fun.

03:40Gentleman's agreement. He pays your debt, you leave the bedroom door open.

03:45She's your cousin, George.

03:47Bit of respect, please.

03:49That's the way they do it on the continent, Dartie. All above board. It's expected.

03:53Dukes and princesses are at it, leaping in and out of each other's beds.

03:57That's why we call them frogs.

04:10Good Lord.

04:13Hello.

04:18Frogs, indeed.

04:33Hello.

04:36I was on my way to London.

04:38I can't get over the fact you're here.

04:41You can drop in and...

04:43How is John?

04:45He's harvesting. Flat out all day.

04:48And reading poetry by night.

04:52I'll get some tea.

04:56She misses him.

05:03Fleur Forsyte is staying.

05:06With you?

05:07She invited herself down. Forced my hand.

05:10And John?

05:12We tried to keep them apart, but...

05:15Have they met before?

05:17In June's gallery. Why?

05:20I think they like each other.

05:23Really like each other.

05:26This is a one thing. A one thing.

05:30Well, perhaps it's not such a bad thing. They could bring the families together.

05:35Dad, are you all right?

05:39No, of all times.

05:42You mustn't tell Irene.

05:44I won't, of course, if it's so very awful.

05:49I'm sorry. What's she like?

05:51A rather having sort of a person.

05:53Fleur Forsyte, then?

05:55I saw her kiss him.

05:58Not a word.

06:01Here you are.

06:04Oh.

06:09Ahem.

06:12Well, you wrote in your letter that you needed to see me urgently.

06:15I can assure you that unless it was of the utmost importance, I wouldn't be here now.

06:30Sir, if you couldn't commit the matter to paper...

06:33Keep your daughter away from my son!

06:36You probably know they are together as we speak.

06:43I had no idea.

06:45They met at June's gallery.

06:47My son is staying with Val and Holly.

06:49Your daughter invited herself down, inveigled her way in.

06:52Val Dartie and his wife extended Fleur an invitation.

06:55She forced their hand. She must be like you.

06:57She sees something and decides to get it.

07:01Sir, what do you want me to do?

07:03Make sure this doesn't happen again.

07:06Stop it, you mean?

07:08Absolutely.

07:12You come here, behind your son's back,

07:16and tell me to break this up.

07:20You, of all people,

07:24the man who once lectured me on the importance of happiness,

07:27the man who once lectured me on the importance of happiness in marriage,

07:30the man who spurned his own family to follow his heart,

07:34who stole another man's wife in the name of love.

07:38John and your daughter aren't in love.

07:41Have you asked them?

07:51This liaison is repugnant to me too.

07:55Your son with my daughter.

08:00I'll do my utmost to stop it, and I presume you will too.

08:04But at least I don't have to play the hypocrite.

08:10Good evening to you, sir.

08:26John? John!

08:29I've come to say goodbye.

08:36I wish you didn't have to leave.

08:38Oh, I told Dad it was only a weekend.

08:40Besides, I want to keep him sweet.

08:43You look wonderful.

08:46Who's still hungry, boy?

08:48Me!

08:50Who's still hungry, boy?

08:52Me!

08:55Anyway, you're going home this weekend.

08:58We could fix it to go part of the way on the same train.

09:01It'd give us an extra two hours and 45 minutes.

09:05You've got it all planned.

09:20I love you.

09:50I love you.

10:08Fuck!

10:16I wish this journey went on forever.

10:20I'll tell Miss Hester you're here, sir.

10:50Oh, you should have said.

10:54Aunt Hester.

10:56I've autopsied Derby.

10:59Oh, my dear.

11:04Have you bought Fleur?

11:06Isn't she back yet from the country?

11:08No.

11:10The view of the old hall?

11:13The view of the old hall?

11:15Yes.

11:17The view of the old hall?

11:20You can't feed a family on propence a week.

11:23Who can't?

11:24Mrs. Doughty.

11:26Oh, Zones.

11:28How much did you make?

11:31Only 90 pounds.

11:33What's going on?

11:35Bailing Doughty out again?

11:37The Dockers' children. They've had no wages for weeks.

11:39Then they should go back to work.

11:41It's a matter of principle.

11:43So is feeding your family.

11:45I shall ask Smither to pour some sherry,

11:47and we will have it in the parlour.

11:51Are you all right?

11:53Do you realise I've had Jolyon Forsyte to see me about Fleur and his battered boy?

12:01As if I would encourage any contact with that side of the family.

12:04You should never have allowed Val to invite her.

12:07They must keep...

12:09They must be kept apart.

12:12And Father's snuffbox?

12:20Not a word of this to Annette, you understand?

12:23This is all your doing.

12:25I hold you personally responsible.

12:30Personally responsible?

12:32I knew nothing about it.

12:34Hope you gave as good as you got, old thing.

12:36Oh, one of these days there'll be a murder.

12:38Oh, hang on, Freddie.

12:40Oh, the rotting's too good for him.

12:42Rotting? Gosh, that'll teach him.

12:45Mr. Profond is here.

12:47Oh.

12:50He's taking me to lunch.

12:51Is he, by Jove?

12:53Oh, don't do this to me, Monty.

12:55He mentioned it yesterday.

12:56Well, I thought things might have moved on since then.

12:59Moved on?

13:02Mrs. Dugty.

13:04Dugty.

13:08Dugty.

13:09I understand you two have an assignation.

13:11Does it match that?

13:12But don't you have an objection?

13:14Of course he doesn't, do you, Monty?

13:16And even if he did, I'm coming anyway.

13:18I'll get my thing.

13:19Providing Freddie doesn't have to pay for our lunch.

13:22I assure you there is nothing like that.

13:25I'll let it go, then.

13:30By the way, how was that boring bit of business last night?

13:33Prevented you from taking Freddie to that play.

13:37Successful, was it?

13:40A telegram.

13:42She's on the 223.

13:43She says she'll walk back along the river.

13:45It'll be good to have her home.

13:47She'll be off again?

13:49There is nothing for her here.

13:53We shall have a house party.

13:56Well, it's time she learned to socialize with young men.

13:59As well as her school friends.

14:02You want to marry her off so soon?

14:04That's the last thing I want.

14:07But it's about time she learned how to conduct herself in society.

14:15I'll be back.

14:17I shall draw up a list of likely people.

14:20I take it some of our friends will be invited?

14:23One or two.

14:24But it will be Fleur's occasion.

14:27You must invite Winifred.

14:29That means Dartie.

14:31Cousin George?

14:33And what about Winifred's friend?

14:35Profond, is he called?

14:37That would put Dartie's nose out of joint.

14:39You suspect him and Winifred?

14:42Yes.

14:44You suspect him and Winifred?

14:47Not seriously.

14:49Profond?

14:51Definitely not the marrying kind.

15:03Mr. Forsyte.

15:05Captain Mott.

15:07Perfect timing.

15:08Fleur should be back in half an hour.

15:10We'll have to sell everyone sometime.

15:12About us?

15:13Not likely.

15:15We're not for ages yet.

15:17Anyway, they've got a secret. Why shouldn't we?

15:19What do you think this feud's all about?

15:21I think someone was murdered.

15:23Like who?

15:25I don't know.

15:26Anyone on your side?

15:28Your dad's been married before, hasn't he?

15:30Twice.

15:31What happened?

15:32They died.

15:33Well, there you are!

15:34Your mother better watch out.

15:37Anyway, I'm going to find out.

15:39And even if I don't, we won't tell them about us.

15:41And that's that.

15:43I do love you.

15:45And no matter what their secret is, it won't make any difference to us, will it?

15:49Fleur!

15:50Trust Daddy. He sent a search party for me.

15:53We'll have to go our separate ways.

15:58I'll think of you every minute of every day.

16:00And other times.

16:01Let's meet as often as we can.

16:03Tomorrow, one o'clock, Green Park.

16:10I'm perfectly capable of making my own way home.

16:12Thank you very much.

16:14Your father told me you were walking back from the station.

16:16I thought I'd row across and fetch you.

16:18I've missed you all week.

16:19Not even a letter.

16:20I wouldn't waste the postage.

16:22Don't break my heart.

16:40There's something I've been wanting to tell you.

16:44I love you, Fleur Forsythe.

16:46I love you, I do.

16:48Oh, no, you don't.

16:49Oh, yes, I do.

16:51And I shall sail you away to the dark.

16:53Michael! Michael, stop! We're going to tip!

16:56Africa, here we come.

17:00I did ask for you.

17:01Be careful.

17:02Lily will sink us.

17:05Take that, please.

17:07No! No!

17:08Michael, stop it!

17:13Oh, good to have you back, old man.

17:17You look well.

17:19Look who's here.

17:20John.

17:21Hello.

17:25Tell us your news.

17:27Holly sends her love.

17:28And Val.

17:29The stud's doing well.

17:32I usually get up at five, work in the fields till sunset.

17:35I get ragged by the men, but, well, they're decent enough.

17:42And Fleur is there.

17:45Oh.

17:49What is she like?

17:51You know, so-so. Pleasant enough.

17:55To tell you the truth, I've been so busy, I've hardly seen her.

18:02Holly sends her love.

18:03I said that.

18:07I'm going to go and get changed.

18:09It's terrific being home.

18:23I'm scared, Julian.

18:27I have never seen him evasive like that before.

18:30Never.

18:34He's head over heels.

18:38If he takes up with this girl, I shall never see him again.

18:44To lose our son to Soames, well, that's a perfect revenge.

18:49What should we do? Should we forbid them to see each other?

18:53Oh, no, that's been tried already.

18:55Besides, they're impetuous, and she is clever.

18:59Take him on holiday.

19:02He wouldn't go.

19:04Well, have a word. Take his mind off her.

19:07Show him Paris. Take your time.

19:10What about you?

19:12Oh, I'll be all right. I've got plenty to do.

19:14It'd be good for you to spend more time with him.

19:18Some of these photographs are very good, John.

19:23You know, when I left school...

19:25You know, when I left school, your grandfather took me on the Grand Tour.

19:30It was the greatest gift he ever gave me.

19:33And it was in Italy that I decided that I wanted to be an artist.

19:36And I wonder that if I hadn't gone on that holiday,

19:39whether I'd have just gone into the family firm like the rest of the Forsythes.

19:44Come on, Dad. I know you.

19:47What are you really trying to say?

19:49I want you to go on holiday with your mother.

19:53The harvest is coming in. I promised Maple I'd be there.

19:57She thinks the world of you, you know.

19:59And I do of her.

20:01Well, then, if you want to make her happy, one last holiday.

20:04The two of you.

20:05That's unfair.

20:11Another party, then?

20:13That's a lovely idea.

20:15Only...

20:17Well, it's so soon after my birthday, it'll cost you a fortune.

20:22If it pleases my daughter.

20:26Besides, since when has spending my money ever worried you?

20:32Dear Daddy, I don't deserve you.

20:35Can we really have a jazz band?

20:37A small one.

20:41I'll need some new clothes.

20:43Perhaps I could go up to town tomorrow.

20:48Hmm. I'll come with you.

20:51We'll make a day of it.

20:53You and me.

20:57You can help me choose an outfit.

20:59Something fashionable for the party.

21:04Daddy, are you still alive?

21:06I'm not at all sorry about this, dear.

21:09Please, Daddy, don't be tiresome.

21:22Well, the blazer may be, but the hat...

21:26Perfect.

21:28Very elegant, sir.

21:30Straw. Elegant.

21:32Makes me look like a bargee.

21:34Nonsense. It's dreamy.

21:37But...

21:39pink would be smarter.

21:41Pink.

21:43Pink.

21:45Pink.

21:47Pink.

21:49Pink.

21:51He'll take it. The stripe.

21:53And the blazer, sir?

21:55Yes.

21:57Flannels?

21:58Those two.

21:59Flower.

22:00If you're going to have a garden party, you may as well look the part.

22:05Am I finished?

22:06Hmm.

22:07Good.

22:08Then we'll take a taxi to the station and be home for lunch.

22:13I need to call up my club...

22:16to collect my post.

22:20Well, I'll wait for you at the station.

22:23Don't be long.

22:33I'm sorry, Flower, but my father insisted I go.

22:36Three months. I can't bear it.

22:39Neither can I.

22:41Then why did you agree?

22:44No, you don't love me. You can't.

22:46Oh, come on. Of course I do.

22:50Anyway, who was that man in the boat?

22:52Him?

22:54A friend of my father's.

22:56Michael Mont.

22:58He's an idiot. I don't care for him one bit.

23:01Will you be at this party?

23:03I've said he's nothing to me.

23:09It won't make any difference.

23:11Being apart, not to me it won't.

23:14Nor to me.

23:19One last kiss.

23:22Remember, whatever happens while you're away,

23:25we'll pick up just as we are.

23:28What do you mean?

23:30Whatever happens.

23:32I'll be faithful to you.

23:34I will.

23:36I promise.

23:38I love you.

23:40I love you.

23:42I love you.

23:44I love you.

23:46I love you.

23:48I will.

23:50I promise.

23:52Forever and ever.

24:19There's something I need to know.

24:23John Forsyte.

24:26And what about him?

24:29You were together at Valdati's place.

24:32He was the reason you ever stayed.

24:34Correct.

24:38I haven't seen John Forsyte in three weeks.

24:41Seen him, spoken to him,

24:43talked to him.

24:45Crossed my heart. Hoped to die.

25:01Ladies and gentlemen.

25:03If you step up to the board,

25:05you'll find a list of all the couples in the draw for this weekend.

25:08It can't be.

25:10It can't be.

25:12It can't be.

25:14It can't be.

25:18Struth it is. Beau Forsyte.

25:20Very humbled, Soames.

25:23It's quite a bevy you've dished up.

25:25Well done.

25:26Been through the old address book.

25:29They're Fleur's old school friends.

25:31If you must know.

25:38Who's your partner, Mary?

25:40M. Daugherty. Whoever he is.

25:42I think I'm going to enjoy this weekend, I'll say.

25:46M. McKenzie.

25:48M. Daugherty.

25:50At your service.

25:51Mary, I'm not very good, I'm afraid.

25:54Oh.

25:56We'll have a spot of practice, then.

25:58Who've you got?

26:00Michael Mont.

26:01What a fecks.

26:03It's not my idea.

26:04He's super.

26:06We're on in half an hour. Care for a spot of practice?

26:09I don't really feel like it.

26:10Oh, well, if you like.

26:11Oh, thanks. That's decent.

26:13You must be, uh, Mary.

26:15Cherry.

26:16Ah, got you. Cherry from Brighton.

26:26Was this your idea?

26:28Hmm?

26:30Me and Michael.

26:35I thought so.

26:40Oh.

26:46Fifteen, love.

27:04I know you're there.

27:06You can't get rid of me that easily.

27:08Don't I know it?

27:10You're a pest, that's what you are.

27:12I'm smitten.

27:15You soon will be.

27:21Come on.

27:24Oh.

27:36Oh.

27:39Rospa. Hello.

27:41Rospa. Hello.

27:53Woo!

28:16Your daughter dances well.

28:18With the right partner.

28:20So do I.

28:24May I suggest a quick step outside?

28:36I must just... Will you excuse me, sir?

28:39I won't be long.

28:45Oh, Rospa.

28:53Get up.

29:02It's a rotten old world.

29:06Yes.

29:08Bad form, that, using my Freddy as a decoy.

29:11Dash non-sporting.

29:15I can't bear your sympathy.

29:17Haven't had my eyes shut, you know.

29:21Not that he's been particularly discreet.

29:23Still, I suppose there's a whole idea of using a decoy.

29:27Right under old Sam's nose.

29:35Dare say you've learnt something along the way?

29:40Regret.

29:42That, all right.

29:45That I was faithful to you.

29:48Hmm?

29:51Those girls in there.

29:54They're laughing at you.

29:57I'm sorry?

29:59You've never grown up.

30:01You're not even half the age of your own son.

30:04Steady on.

30:06And why do you think Val isn't here?

30:08Well, he's too busy with the horses.

30:10He's ashamed of you.

30:13Oh, come on.

30:16The gambling.

30:18The lies.

30:20Never there when we needed you.

30:22And when you were there, you were drunk and useless.

30:24And what kind of father is that to the children?

30:26What kind of example?

30:28I'm not entirely sure. I know what you mean.

30:30Then think, Monty.

30:33Think.

30:35Before it's too late.

30:46MUSIC

30:59Come on, everybody. Join in.

31:09Just look at them.

31:11Isn't she terrific?

31:15MUSIC

31:25Your backhand needs a spot of practice.

31:27Is that what you call it?

31:29I'll pop round.

31:34Thank you for a terrific weekend.

31:40Nothing wrong with your service, though.

31:43Ahem.

31:46Come along, darling.

31:52Should you not be saying goodbye to your guests?

31:57You're right.

32:03Goodbye, Prosper.

32:13MUSIC

32:21You're in love.

32:23How can you tell?

32:25The way you look at each other.

32:27It's Prosper's car.

32:29He's out with Mum all the time.

32:37MUSIC

32:43CAR ENGINE REVS

33:00Oh, Jude.

33:02You scared the living daylights out of me.

33:05What do you think? Half an hour, door to door?

33:08I think you'll break your neck.

33:13Oh, dear.

33:15I think I'll have a sit down.

33:17I'm exhausted.

33:19Have you been to see Dr Liddell?

33:21Yes, yes, of course I have.

33:23What did he say?

33:26Oh...

33:28I promise you won't say a word to Irene or John.

33:31I'm going to tell them myself.

33:34It's my heart, June.

33:38It's on its last legs, it's...

33:40It's quite loving.

33:45It can't be.

33:48It comes to all of us, sooner or later.

33:52Not you.

33:54You're all I've got.

33:56You can't die.

33:58I don't want to.

34:02I'm happier than I've ever been.

34:05I don't...

34:07I think we ought to face it.

34:09Why do I always lose everyone I love?

34:12You can't die. You're a Forsyte.

34:17All that talk of love.

34:20What about my love for you?

34:26No one loves you more than I do.

34:30You're my role. Who else can I cling to?

34:33You're my role. Who else can I cling to?

34:36I won't let this happen.

35:23On the house.

35:25And may I congratulate Mademoiselle on her play?

35:29Mademoiselle thinks maybe le patron has been sampling his...

35:33excellent wine with too much enthusiasm.

35:36Au contraire. The wine sharpens the senses.

35:40You play with esprit.

35:43So does Monsieur in his own way.

35:47My son also plays the piano.

35:50Ah, your son.

35:52Yes.

35:54How long are you in Paris?

35:57That depends on when we tariff it.

36:01Then I shall make sure that you stay a long time.

36:04I shall hold you to that.

36:06With the permission of your son.

36:08He's making a pass at you.

36:10I am old enough to look after myself.

36:15You were saying, Monsieur?

36:17Perhaps you would care to dance?

36:20Why not?

36:22Perhaps Monsieur would care to play?

36:24Yes.

36:32What are you waiting for?

36:54Hello.

37:09You on a hike?

37:11No, just exploring.

37:13I walked from the station.

37:17I've just spotted the most beautiful house.

37:25My dear.

37:26I say, are you all right?

37:30How far to go?

37:33Just across the field there.

37:36Oh, it's your house.

37:38Oh, how lovely.

37:48Ah, there you are.

37:51Lemonade.

37:54I don't know your name.

37:57Cherry.

37:59Jolian. Jolian Forsyte.

38:03All on his own.

38:05Missing his other half.

38:08Oh, listen to me go. Hang on.

38:11So, they're in Paris?

38:14Yes.

38:15They've been gone a month.

38:18When are they back?

38:20Another month.

38:22Maybe longer.

38:25Take my advice. When you find someone you love,

38:28never let them go.

38:32You should drink up. You're going to miss your train.

38:35There'll be another one.

38:37You're just like my son. Hang the consequences.

38:42It's charming.

38:44Come on.

38:46I'll walk you.

38:50Thank you for the lemonade.

38:52My pleasure.

39:07I'm back.

39:10I'm in here.

39:13Oh, there you are.

39:17You and your old records.

39:39That was Cherry.

39:41Exhausting.

39:47What did you buy?

39:49Oh, nothing in the end.

39:52Is my mum back?

39:54She wasn't on the train?

39:56No.

40:01Well, have dinner at the usual time, whether or not.

40:08That'll be her now.

40:11Annette!

40:41I just forgot the bag.

41:06John?

41:12Did you get to the gallery?

41:14Mm.

41:16Dozens of Impressionists.

41:18I got some postcards.

41:20Ah.

41:26Degas? Mm-hm.

41:28Oh. She has got imbish eyes.

41:33Quite beautiful.

41:42Your boyfriend was asking after you.

41:45Oh, I don't know who you mean.

41:47I think you do, mademoiselle.

41:49I think you enjoy dancing with him.

41:51Oh, that's so terrible.

41:53What would Dad say?

41:55He would laugh.

42:04Do you want to go home?

42:07Yes.

42:09Mm, so do I.

42:25What a surprise!

42:30Where did you get that telegram?

42:32About an hour ago.

42:34Oh, hello, Dad.

42:39Wait till you see what I've got!

42:46Hello.

42:48I missed you.

42:50I missed you so much.

42:52Oh!

42:56So what changed your mind?

42:58It was making things worse.

43:02The longer we were there, the more he was missing her.

43:05Hmm.

43:07I'm afraid it failed.

43:11There should be a table for us now.

43:13Oh, no, that's my father.

43:15Oh, Val!

43:17Val, come and join us.

43:19That's my son.

43:25You remember John?

43:27Yes, Julian's boy.

43:29Hello.

43:32We'll start with the dovetail.

43:34Yes.

43:35And the duck to follow.

43:37And two more places, please.

43:39Please, sit down, sit down, sit down.

43:41Ah!

43:44Splendid.

43:46It's good to see you, my boy.

43:50I thought George was joining us.

43:52Committee meeting.

43:54Oh, probably pushing up the cost of the grub.

43:56Or the wine.

43:59How's your father?

44:01He's fine.

44:03I think he missed my mother while we were away.

44:05He's pleased we're back.

44:07And how is the lovely Irene?

44:09She's well, thank you.

44:11So you will not know Somme's forsaken?

44:15He and my father don't seem to get on.

44:18That's one way of putting it.

44:20Do you know what happened?

44:23Best not inquire, John.

44:25Stable secret.

44:26It's a bed of nettles.

44:32How is the filly?

44:34Fine.

44:35I won't breed for me yet, though.

44:37Rum lot, the four sides.

44:39When you breed a duck be winner, not before.

44:43A bit of advice, John.

44:46Don't let Somme's call the shots.

44:49He tried to put Winifred off me, but I married her all the same.

44:53You're sweet on his daughter, that's the word.

44:59Well, you stand up to the buggers.

45:02Never say die.

45:04Oh, and another thing.

45:07Flir.

45:09Don't dilly-dally, you understand me?

45:12Some other chap might sprint past on the inside.

45:23How difficult it is.

45:25Seems I've drawn a short straw.

45:27You'll suffer, boy.

45:33Excuse me, gents.

45:35Come on.

45:51The fact is, Doughty, we've had a meeting about that money you owe.

45:55I spoke up for you.

45:57But they voted you out.

45:59What?

46:00I'm afraid so.

46:02And I'll have to ask you to leave.

46:04It's a bit sudden.

46:06They've given you two weeks to settle up.

46:08Then you can reapply, mind.

46:10I guarantee.

46:12But there must be some mistake.

46:14No?

46:27Oh, um...

46:29Don't tell the old girl, this good chap.

46:31Of course, you're any more upset than I have already.

46:35Pity you didn't think of that before.

47:01Mr Soames is here to see Mrs Doughty.

47:04Well?

47:06Well, he'll just have to come back later.

47:09No.

47:11No showmen.

47:29Ah, she won't be long.

47:33Sniffed her?

47:37No, not me.

47:41Please.

47:45Jolly good do at your place.

47:47Appreciate it.

47:49Family and all that.

47:52I'm glad you've turned up.

47:56I have a proposition for you.

47:58It may interest you.

48:00Interest being the operative word.

48:02Thing is...

48:03You're short of cash.

48:05I wouldn't put it like that.

48:07Gosh, no, no.

48:09It's just that what's coming in

48:11is coming in slower than what's going out.

48:14Gone out.

48:15You're in debt.

48:16Giving you the chance to earn a bit of dosh.

48:19If it wasn't so pathetic, I'd find it amusing.

48:22Oh, come on, Soames, old chap.

48:24No-one's so well-heeled they're not looking for another opportunity.

48:28Go on.

48:30You see?

48:362% over the Bank of England.

48:39Two.

48:41And how much do you need?

48:43As much as you can spare.

48:45A hundred and... 50?

48:47200?

48:49With what security?

48:52Well, the house isn't yours.

48:55Yes, I hardly need reminding.

48:57Um...

48:59Winifred, she's my security, if you like.

49:02You're offering your wife in security for a loan?

49:04Yes, because she's your sister, old boy.

49:06Look, I'm asking you for help

49:08to protect the good name of the family.

49:10The only way you could have done that was to have married someone else.

49:15Yes, well, that's one thing I don't regret.

49:18Winifred may have other ideas.

49:20At least I don't bully her and treat her like a dunce.

49:23Pity you don't have some of her qualities.

49:25Forgiveness, for one.

49:26She's had a lot of practice.

49:28It hasn't all been one-sided.

49:30We've got to rub along together.

49:32For better, for worse, and all that.

49:37You've always been jealous of me, haven't you?

49:39Unfortunately, where women are concerned,

49:42it's not just what's in the bank that counts,

49:44it's in other departments.

49:46Careful, Dante.

49:47Oh, it's common knowledge.

49:48Talk of the town.

49:50Annette and her continental appetite.

49:56How dare you?

50:00Come on.

50:11John?

50:12Ma!

50:27Guess what?

50:28What?

50:29In my father's room, hidden, a secret.

50:33Well?

50:34It was of your mother, when she was young.

50:36Are you sure?

50:37Yes.

50:38They must have been in love, and that's what the feud is about.

50:41She married your father instead of mine, that's why they don't get on.

50:44Why should that stop us from being together?

50:46It's up to us to make them see sense.

50:49I'm sure your father would be on our side.

50:51In fact, I know he would.

50:53I've met him.

50:55When?

50:56I've been to Robin Hill.

50:59What?

51:00I wanted to see where you lived.

51:02I missed you so terribly, it was the next best thing.

51:05And you met my father?

51:07He never mentioned it.

51:09Because he didn't know it was me.

51:11It didn't come up, and then, when it did, it was too late.

51:14This is awful!

51:15No, it isn't.

51:17We got on.

51:18He's a sweetie.

51:24What did you talk about?

51:27Not you.

51:28Your mother made me.

51:31He told me I ought to do what my heart tells me.

51:34So, you see, he'll give us his blessing. I know he will.

51:59It's okay.

52:03It's okay.

52:05It's okay.
