00:00The New York Times
00:30We are here on the lands of Miss Sophie.
00:34The name of this old man, of course, is because of the description.
00:41Miss Sophie has invited her four best friends to a birthday dinner.
00:46And I will now give you the Tisch-Folge.
00:48There will Miss Sophie sit.
00:50Here Sir Toby.
00:52Here Admiral von Schneider.
00:54There Mr. Comeroy.
00:56And there Mr. Winterbottom.
00:58Eh, meine Damen und Herren, es ergibt sich dabei leider eine kleine Schwierigkeit.
01:05Miss Sophie ist nicht mehr die allerjüngste.
01:08Wir feiern heute ihren 90. Geburtstag.
01:10Und sie hat ihre vier besten Freunde längst überlebt.
01:14Den letzten hat sie vor 25 Jahren beerdigt.
01:18Dennoch will Miss Sophie auf dieses Geburtstags-Dinner nicht verzichten.
01:24Und da die Herren aus verständlichen Gründen nicht persönlich erscheinen können, werden sie durch ihren Butler James vertreten.
01:31Das ist alle die Jahre recht gut gegangen und es wird auch heute wieder gut gehen, denn der Ablauf dieses Dinner for One ist seit Jahren genau gleich.
01:40James wird immer wieder fragen, same procedure as last year, auf deutschsprachlich übersetzt, die gleiche Prozedur wie im letzten Jahr.
01:50Und Miss Sophie wird antworten, same procedure as every year, die gleiche Prozedur wie in jedem Jahr.
01:58Wobei eine besondere Betonung auf every year in jedem Jahr liegt.
02:04Nun, das weitere Gespräch zwischen Miss Sophie und ihrem Butler James ist nicht interessant, es ist völlig ohne Belang.
02:11Sie werden also dieses ungewöhnlichste Geburtstags-Dinner, das es je gab, ohne Mühe verfolgen können.
02:19Ich wünsche Ihnen sehr viel Vergnügen, meine Damen und Herren, verehrtes Publikum, und hier ist James.
02:25Ich wünsche Ihnen sehr viel Vergnügen, meine Damen und Herren.
02:45Ich wünsche Ihnen sehr viel Vergnügen, meine Damen und Herren.
03:13Ah, good evening, Miss Sophie, good evening.
03:33Good evening, James.
03:35You're looking very well this evening, Miss Sophie.
03:38Well, I'm feeling very much better, thank you, James.
03:41Good, good, good, good.
03:43Well, I must say that everything looks very nice.
03:45Thank you very much, Miss Sophie, thank you.
03:48Is everybody here?
03:50Indeed they are, yes, yes.
03:52They're all here for your anniversary, Miss Sophie, yes?
03:56All five places laid out?
03:58All laid out, as usual.
04:00Sir Toby.
04:02Sir Toby, yes, is sitting here this year, Miss Sophie.
04:06Admiral Von Schneider.
04:07Admiral Von Schneider is sitting here, Miss Sophie.
04:11Mr. Pomeroy.
04:12Mr. Pomeroy, I've put round here for you.
04:16And my very dear friend, Mr. Winterbottom.
04:20On your right, as you requested, Miss Sophie.
04:24Thank you, James.
04:25You may now serve the soup.
04:27The soup.
04:28Thank you very much, Miss Sophie, thank you.
04:30Thank you very much, Sophie, thank you.
04:32You're all waiting for you.
04:33I'll have some more.
04:49A little drop of Mulligatoni soup, Miss Sophie.
04:52I'm particularly fond of Mulligatoni soup, James.
04:55Yes, I know you are, Miss Sophie.
04:56I think we'll have sherry with the soup.
04:59Sherry with the soup, yes.
05:02Oh, by the way, the same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?
05:09The same procedure as every year, James.
05:13The same procedure as every year, James, yes, yes.
05:18Is that a dry sherry, James?
05:27Yes, a very dry sherry, Miss Sophie.
05:30Very dry.
05:32Straight out of the cellar this morning, Miss Sophie.
05:48That was a try, James.
05:49Yes, yes.
05:50Yes, yes.
06:02Yes, yes, yes.
06:11Yes, yes.
06:14Sir Toby.
06:26Cheerio, Miss Sophie.
06:34Admiral von Schneider.
06:36Must I say it this year, Miss Sophie?
06:39Just to please me, James.
06:41Just to please you. Very good, yes.
06:45Skull.
07:02Mr. Fungeroy.
07:04Happy New Year, Sophie.
07:11And dear Mr. Winterbottom.
07:14Well, here we are again, all love is to me and thee.
07:16Last bless you all.
07:23You may now serve the fish.
07:26Fish. Very good, Miss Sophie.
07:27Did you enjoy the soup?
07:28Delicious, James.
07:29Thank you, Miss Sophie.
07:30I didn't let you enjoy it.
07:31I didn't know if you enjoyed it.
07:34No.
07:47A little bit of North Sea haddock, Miss Sophie.
07:50I think we'll have white wine with the fish.
07:55White wine with the fish?
07:58The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?
08:01The same procedure as every year, James.
08:06Yes.
08:07Thanks.
08:07Oh.

09:31Admiral von Schneider.
09:32Oh, must I, Miss Sophie?
09:35James, please.
09:40Skull.
09:41Mr. Pomeroy.
10:03Happy New Year, Sophie, back.
10:22Mr. Winterbottom.
10:23Well, here we are again, our love is for me now, that's all that.
10:27By going, you're looking younger than ever, love.
10:31Younger than ever.
10:32Please serve the chicken.
10:55Yeah.
10:56That looks a very fine bird.
11:14Yeah, that's not so lovely choc-choccy as I thought, are you?
11:20I think we'll have champagne with the bird.
11:24Champagne, yeah.
11:27Same procedure as the last hour, Miss Sophie.
11:29Same procedure as every year, James.
11:35All right, thanks.
11:35Miss Sophie.
11:35Down the line.
11:38Let's see.
13:11Everything is open up.
13:13Mr. Winterbottom.
13:17It's one of the nicest little women.
13:23One of the nicest little women!
13:27Men, there's never, there's never braved, never braved.
13:44Never braved.
13:47I now declare this bizarre open.
13:51Stop open.
13:57Bye.
13:59Do you like some Truett?
14:03Do you like some Truett?
14:13Do you like some Truett?
14:27I think we'll have port with the Truett.
14:43Oh, no.

16:15Mr. Winterbottom.
16:21Oh, I'll kill that cat.
16:33Well, Jane, it's been really a wonderful party.
16:44And I think I'll retire.
16:49Sit down, I'll give you a hand up, madam.
16:53As I was saying, I think I'll retire.
17:00Yes, yes, yes.
17:02Well, by the way, the same procedure as last year, Mrs. Loughby?
17:06The same procedure as every year, James.
17:10Well, I'll do my very best.
