00:00I don't know.
00:30I am innocent.
00:35I am innocent.
00:39I am innocent.
00:45I am innocent.
00:57I am innocent.
01:17I must be left to dress myself.
01:25Roddy.
01:27Oh, great.
01:28I had to see you, Pitt.
01:29What, this time of the morning?
01:30Why ain't you at home?
01:31Oh, done for, Pitt.
01:33I'll help you, Rodden.
01:34Every shilling is tiling.
01:36It's not about money.
01:37What is it, then?
01:43It's Roddy.
01:48I want you to take care of him when I'm gone.
01:55Your dear good wife has always been kind to him.
01:58Indeed, he's always been fonder of her than he has of his own mother.
02:04Damn it, Pitt.
02:05You know I should have had Aunt Crawley's money if I hadn't married that woman.
02:08Your marriage was your own doing, not mine.
02:14Well, it's all over now.
02:20Oh, good God.
02:24Is she dead?
02:25No.
02:26But, by God, I wish I was.
02:30And that blasted villain, too.
02:35Am I to take it that you are referring to the Microsoft stain?
02:41I found them together, Pitt.
02:51We'll fight it, of course.
02:55But if it goes fatally with me...
03:11You may rely on me, brother.
03:26Here's 600 pounds I want you to pay to Briggs.
03:30And there's some more for the boy's upkeep.
03:32She never knew I was so rich, did you?
03:34Neither did I, by God.
03:35A thousand?
03:36Not bad.
03:37Only put a bullet through the man that belongs to.
03:42Rawdon!
03:43Excuse me, ma'am.
03:44Won't you stay, for breakfast?
03:46Thank you. No, ma'am.
03:47That'll explain.
03:57You can't come in, sir.
03:58Tell your master that Colonel Rawdon Crawley will be the reach of trouble all day from one o'clock.
04:02At his convenience.
04:08Night's Bridge Barracks.
04:09Night's Bridge Barracks.
04:16Crawley, my wife.
04:17I've been to you here so early in the morning.
04:20Meet a friend, Mac.
04:21Matter of honour.
04:22Come to the right man.
04:24Gambling business, is it?
04:27It's about my wife.
04:30And the Lord Stane?
04:31What the deuce do you know about it?
04:35Oh, not a thing, my boy.
04:36Not a thing.
04:40I knocked him down and thrashed him.
04:41Good.
04:43Now I'm gonna kill him.
04:44Excellent.
04:48You don't know how fond I was of that one, Mac.
04:51I followed her about like a footman.
04:53I gave her everything she wanted.
04:57Pulled my watch so she could have anything she fancied.
05:00And all the time she was making a silk purse of herself.
05:02Mr. Wenham, I was just...
05:13Do you bring word from his lordship?
05:16Has he sent for me?
05:18Shall we?
05:20My dear Mrs. Crawley.
05:22Don't attempt to see Lord Stane.
05:25He'll understand when I explain.
05:28It's all over, Mrs. Crawley.
05:31I urge you to take my advice.
05:34For your own safety.
05:42Don't look at me like that.
05:44I'm not guilty.
05:46Rodden's been here.
05:47I know everything.
05:48I know you know nothing.
05:50He's deceived.
05:54I mean, he's mistaken.
05:56It's all a mistake.
06:00I've done no more with Lord Stane than...
06:03...than with you, dear Pitt.
06:05Shh.
06:09Of course I knew he was partial to me.
06:14Was it wrong of me to use that partiality to help advance my husband?
06:18And my dear brother-in-law?
06:21To get Rawdon an appointment of state.
06:24And for you, dear Pitt, we talked of a peerage.
06:28Good God.
06:30Really?
06:34Of course I did everything to please Lord Stane.
06:38Everything a virtuous wife could do.
06:42And my efforts bore fruit.
06:43I secured the appointment for Rawdon.
06:46Why, it should be in the paper this very day.
06:49Right, Jill. So it is. The governor.
06:52And it was just when I was thanking his lordship for his goodness to us that Rawdon came home and...
07:09Help me, Pitt.
07:11You're so wise. So clever.
07:14You understand a woman's heart?
07:15There, there, there, there.
07:16It was all for Rawdon.
07:18All for you and Rawdon and...
07:19...and now I'm ruined.
07:20There, there, there, there.
07:21There, there, there, there.
07:23It was all for Rawdon.
07:25All for you and Rawdon and...
07:27...and now I'm ruined.
07:28There, there, there, there.
07:29Perhaps something may be done.
07:30Ah!
07:31Ah!
07:32There, there, there, there.
07:33There, there, there.
07:35There.
07:36There, there, there.
07:37There, there, there, there.
07:39There, there, there, there.
07:40Perhaps something may be done.
07:42Ah!
07:44Ah.
07:45Ah!
07:46Ah!
07:47Ah!
07:48Ah!
07:52Ah!
07:54Ah!
07:56Ah!
07:57What is that woman doing in my house?
07:58How dare you? Tell her, Pitt. Tell her I'm innocent.
08:03Upon my word, my love, I think you do her an injustice.
08:06Do I?
08:08She's a heartless mother and a faithless wife.
08:11She's deceived her husband as she's deceived everybody, including you, Pitt.
08:15I've been a true and a faithful wife to you, Pitt.
08:18But righteous obedience has its limits.
08:21You must choose, sir, between her and me.
08:28It was that diamond clasp, Pitt.
08:36I think she always knew it was you that bought it for me.
08:39Really? She never mentioned it.
08:43No. She wouldn't.
08:48I won't make things difficult for you, Pitt.
08:51I know you'll do your best for me.
08:58Send the observer.
09:04What is it?
09:06No, no, don't know.
09:07The other such has given up the ghost.
09:09Colonel Gordon there is the new governor of Coventry Island, my boy.
09:13Good God, that's run.
09:15I wonder where the hell it is.
09:17Just in the nick of time, eh?
09:22Chap hasn't got two shillings to rob together.
09:25What's the salary?
09:27Oh, two or three thousand.
09:29The climate's so infernal they don't enjoy long.
09:32It does say that was part of the plan.
09:35Whose plan?
09:36Staines, of course.
09:38How do you do, Crawley?
09:50I'm glad to see you.
09:52This is my friend, Captain McMurdo of the Heavy Dragoons, who acts for me in this matter.
09:57I'll leave you two together to discuss the time and place.
10:01No, Colonel Crawley.
10:03I think all may be brought to a happy conclusion.
10:08Now, you are irritated against my noble friend.
10:16Irritated, sir?
10:18I understand, Colonel.
10:20You come home from a journey and find my Lord Staine in your house.
10:26But he has been in your house a hundred times before.
10:32I saw what I saw, damn you!
10:35Name me a place and time, sir!
10:37No, sir.
10:39I found Lord Staine this morning determined to challenge the Colonel.
10:43One of us, he said, must not survive the outrage of last night.
10:47Good God, sir, I said.
10:50How I wish now that Mrs Wenham and I had accepted Mrs Crawley's invitation to sup with her.
10:58She asked you to sup with her as well?
11:02After the opera.
11:04Here's the note of invitation.
11:06No, that's another paper.
11:08Thought I had it with me.
11:10But I assure you, it was only one of Mrs Wenham's headaches that prevented us.
11:15I don't believe one word of your whole damn story, sir.
11:21And if the challenge doesn't come from Staine, by God, it'll come from me!
11:25Hold hard now, hold hard.
11:26You put this affair into my hands, therefore you will act as I think fit.
11:31And not as you do.
11:32Now, as for this, uh, this affair with Mrs Crawley, my belief is there's nothing proved at all.
11:49Your wife is innocent.
11:50And I think you'd be a damn fool not to let it go at that.
11:55Captain McMurdo, you speak like a man of sense.
11:59To know all is to forgive all.
12:03Wouldn't you agree, Colonel?
12:05To comprendre, c'est tout pardonner.
12:08And you're a damned liar, sir.
12:12In English or in French.
12:17I forgive you, Crawley.
12:19Heat of the moment, I'm sure.
12:22Heat of the moment.
12:24You don't stick at trifles, do you, Mr Wenham?
12:31Here is a thousand pound note.
12:34And tell your Lord Staine we will not kill him today.
12:38And we would rather not take his money.
12:40All right?
12:42Good day to you, sir.
12:43Thank you, sir.
12:44I think it pained him to part with the boy.
12:47I think it did, my love.
13:11I think it pained him to part with the boy.
13:14I think it did, my love.
13:15It's not a word from the poor child's mother, of course.
13:20Is anything known with her?
13:22On the continent, I understand.
13:25Boulogne.
13:27Maple walls.
13:29And so on.
13:31She receives a small allowance, I believe.
13:34From whom, I wonder?
13:36I don't imagine we shall see her again, my love.
13:45Major William Dobbin, Bungle Gunge, India.
13:59My dear William.
14:01Here we continue very quietly.
14:04More quietly than I would wish, since Georgie is now with his grandfather in Russell Square.
14:09It is very selfish of me to mind so.
14:13He receives far more than I could ever give him.
14:16And he comes to see us once a week.
14:19A little bird informs me that we may shortly hear of your marriage.
14:23What?
14:24I wish you and the fortunate Miss Glorvina O'Dowd every happiness in the world.
14:33And I hope that your loving godson Georgie and his mother will continue to claim a corner in your heart.
14:40Corner?
14:41Your affectionate friend, Amelia Osborne.
14:52Dear brother, we all hope you are well and bearing the frightful heat of India.
14:57I write to tell you that we expect very soon to hear of the engagement of your old acquaintance, Amelia Osborne,
15:03to one of the curates at Brompton, the Reverend Mr Binney.
15:06Not a good match, but, nevertheless...
15:10Colonel!
15:12O'Dowd!
15:15Colonel O'Dowd!
15:17Mrs O'Dowd!
15:18What's the matter?
15:19I really must speak with your husband, ma'am.
15:20Colonel O'Dowd, will you get out of your bed?
15:22Come and attend to the major here!
15:24What is it, Darby boy?
15:26I must go back to England.
15:27One most urgent private business.
15:29Now.
15:30Tonight.
15:32Major Darbyn.
15:36Come on up!
15:38Come on up!
15:39Come on up here!
15:40You're now safe!
15:41Stop it!
15:45Good God!
15:47Josh Sedley.
15:49You won't have heard the sad news yet, I'm sure.
15:52I only hurt myself this morning.
15:53What do you mean, Josh?
15:54What sad news?
15:56Mother passed away.
15:59Very peaceful.
16:00Short illness.
16:02It's a chapter a bit...
16:04...cut up there.
16:06Oh, my poor Josh.
16:08I'm so sorry.
16:11Your father will feel her lost keenly.
16:14Yes.
16:16Yes, I must do what I can for them.
16:19I shall take a house, Dobbin.
16:21Josh Sedley need never work again if you don't care to.
16:24Your sister will be glad to see you.
16:27Yes.
16:28I dare say she will.
16:33And I trust she'll be happy in the marriage she's about to make.
16:38Marriage?
16:39What marriage?
16:41To the Reverend Binney.
16:43Really?
16:45She never mentioned it to me.
16:48Reverend Binney, eh?
16:50It meant a stick, in my opinion.
16:58Time to escape the whole outside.
16:59Thank you, mother.
17:00We're ready to do it.
17:04She's ready to get some stuff.
17:06She's ready to go.
17:08She's ready to do it.
17:10What?
17:12She's ready to come.
17:14A little.
17:16She's ready to do it.
17:18We'll do it.
17:19We're ready to go.
17:21She has a special situation.
17:23She has a special situation where she's ready to do it.
17:24William, you've come home.
17:42Yes.
17:45This is Major Dobbin, our dear old friend.
17:49This is Mr Binney, will you?
17:54How do you do, sir?
17:57Honoured to meet you, Major.
17:59I hope to make you a better acquaintance.
18:02But for the present, I beg you'll excuse me.
18:05Mrs Binney will be wondering what's become of me.
18:13Mrs Binney.
18:16Yes.
18:17Miss Gritz that was.
18:18I don't think you ever knew her.
18:21No.
18:24Forgive me.
18:26I should have begun by saying how sorry I was to hear of your sad news.
18:31Thank you, William.
18:36And I've another arrival to announce.
18:40Mrs Dobbin.
18:42No.
18:44No, your brother Joss.
18:45Oh.
18:45I came on before him.
18:47He'll be in London tomorrow.
18:59It will be well now.
19:02He said he's going to take a good house for you all.
19:06Papa.
19:07You remember Major Dobbin, don't you?
19:09Yes, I knew your father well, sir, once upon a time.
19:12Indeed, you did, sir.
19:19He's very much shaken.
19:22But he's glad to see you, William.
19:30He's a fine boy.
19:31Oh, it hardly does him justice.
19:33He's so much handsome in the flesh.
19:36He's the comfort of my life.
19:40And he's the image of...
19:42him that's gone.
19:48So, you're not to marry Glorvino, Dad, after all?
19:51No, indeed.
19:52My heart is safe.
19:59From her.
20:00I see.
20:06Then you intend to remain a bachelor?
20:17Oh, Papa, you've been asleep.
20:19Who's that?
20:20Why, it's Major Dobbin, Papa.
20:24Ah.
20:26I believe I knew your father well, sir.
20:28Once upon a time.
20:33I fancy the siblings may hold their heads high again, eh?
20:37You've done everyone proud, Joss.
20:41Well, chap does what he can, you know.
20:45What about you, little man?
20:46I don't suppose you remember me at all.
20:49I'm your...
20:49I remember Major Dobbin, because Ma spoke of him hundreds and hundreds of times.
20:54He was a hero of Waterloo, you know.
20:56Like my papa.
20:58Weren't you, Major Dobbin?
21:00Well, your uncle played his part of Waterloo as well, you know, Georgie.
21:03Did he really?
21:04Yes, and he is the best of brothers.
21:06Yes, and you can come and stay here as often as you like.
21:09Old Mr. Osborne has given his consent.
21:11Ah, Amelia Dobbin, you must excuse me.
21:15I have an appointment to the club for luncheon.
21:17Can you see a ledge, perhaps?
21:19Thank you, yes.
21:20Tell me what you did at Waterloo, Uncle Joss.
21:23Well, I, er, I had a huge moustache.
21:28I see you still have your piano.
21:30Oh, yes.
21:31I'm so glad you kept it.
21:36I was afraid you didn't care about it.
21:38I value it more than anything I have in the world.
21:48Do you, Amelia?
21:51Truly?
21:56But, of course.
21:59Didn't he go and buy it for me at that horrid auction
22:01when all our things were sold and have it sent to me
22:03and never said a word?
22:05It was the dearest thing he ever did for me.
22:15Yes.
22:16Of course.
22:21I didn't know.
22:27It was you.
22:32It was you, wasn't it?
22:35I did buy it for you.
22:42I loved you then, and I love you still.
22:47I think I loved you from the moment I saw you
22:49when George brought me to your house
22:51to show me the girl he was engaged to.
22:55Since then,
22:57there's not an hour
22:58of any day
23:00for ten years
23:02that I haven't thought about you.
23:12I'm very ungrateful.
23:18No.
23:20No, I know what you're feeling.
23:21You heard in your heart
23:25that the piano came from me
23:26and not George.
23:30I beg your pardon
23:31for being a fool for a moment
23:33and thinking that years
23:35of constancy and devotion
23:36might have pleaded my cause with you.
23:41Now you are being cruel.
23:43George is my husband
23:46here and in heaven.
23:48How could I forget about him?
23:50I do care about you, William.
24:03You've been everything
24:04to my little boy and me.
24:07Please be his friend still
24:09and mine.
24:11Please be your pardon.
25:11She's a handsome little woman. There. What do you say, sir?
25:15That lady's my sister, sir. This is George Osborne.
25:19Is she? No offence. And a lad.
25:23Her son, George.
25:25Handsome boy. And that's the father?
25:29Lord Noah. She's a widow. That's Major Dobbin.
25:33Her admirer, I presume.
25:37I say, no, no. Old Dobbs, not a lady's man.
25:41His dear old friend.
25:43We're all at Waterloo together.
25:46Saw a little of that myself.
25:50Major Loader, sir.
25:52At your service.
25:54Jesus said.
25:56Taking the cure. So am I.
25:58With a share of me, if you follow.
26:00Quite the place these days, Batpumpernipple.
26:03Lots of swells here in the high season.
26:06May I recommend the Edelweiss Hotel?
26:09The Edelweiss. Just mention the name. Major Loader. They'll see you right.
26:12Thank you very much, sir.
26:14Loader.
26:15Edelweiss.
26:16That's it, old boy.
26:17A benito, as they say.
26:20Vilcomen am batpumpernickel.
26:29Drake!
26:31Lee!
26:33Drake!
26:35Uncle Josh, I'm just going through a stroll around town.
26:42Here I work!
26:43Yeah!
26:44Woo!
26:45Yeah!
26:46Whoosh!
26:48Oh!
26:49Step no!
26:50To a bottle Y display.
26:52Let the apple xenon see organize us!
27:00Let the apple crumble and see the actors.
27:05Oh
27:35Oh
28:05Oh
28:29Monsieur Departure
28:31No, madame
28:35Well
28:47Put it on any number you like
28:49and see if you can bring my luck back
29:01Make a strong, strong wish
29:05You see
29:11You're lucky for me
29:13Shall you try again?
29:15Yes, please
29:19George
29:21Oh Lord, I have to go
29:23What's your name?
29:25George Osborne
29:27Of course
29:29Come again another day, George
29:31I shall
29:33Come on
29:39Are you coming, Joss?
29:41I'll linger a moment
29:43As you wish
29:47May I
29:49Please do
29:51Please do
29:57Have you come to bring me luck like my young friend?
29:59Oh
30:01Hope so, ma'am
30:03Yeah
30:05I see you're the same bold, generous soul you always were
30:07You have not changed
30:09You have not changed
30:11Nor have I, not at heart
30:13Do you not know me, Joss?
30:15Good God
30:17Good God, who is it?
30:18Can't you guess
30:23Good heavens
30:25This is Crawley
30:27Good heavens
30:35Now, you must forgive my shabby old lodgings
30:37Fortune has not been kind to your poor Rebecca
30:41But where is your party, George?
30:43Oh, ah
30:45The Ad Prince
30:46Of course
30:47The best hotel in all the Rhineland
30:49So
30:50Life has been good to you
30:52Oh
30:55I know what you're thinking
30:58What a strange place this is for a woman who's lived in a very different world
31:13Oh
31:19I think
31:22If you had known what was to come
31:25You wouldn't have been so cruel as to desert me all those years ago
31:29Oh
31:30I see, look here, you know
31:33But we'll say no more of that
31:36You weren't to know
31:40Now all my friends have been false to me
31:44I was the truest wife
31:47Even though I married my husband out of peak
31:51Because
31:53Well
31:55Never mind that
32:00Oh, Mrs Crawley
32:02Rebecca
32:06And that man betrayed me, Joseph
32:09He trampled upon me and deserted me
32:11Damn swine
32:14So now
32:16I think back all those years ago
32:19And how I wish
32:22But it's all no use
32:28You wish
32:29You
32:30Were the first man I ever saw
32:39Or ever
32:41I was scarcely more than a child when you broke my heart
32:47But I forgive you
32:49You of all others never meant me any harm
32:53And perhaps
32:55Perhaps
32:57Perhaps
33:01Perhaps
33:07There you are, Joss
33:09We'd almost given you up for lost
33:10No, no, no
33:12No, no, no
33:14Amelia, my dear
33:15I've just had the most extraordinary
33:17Yes, God bless my soul
33:19The most extraordinary adventure
33:22An old friend of ours is staying here
33:26And I would like you to see her
33:29An old friend here?
33:30Yes, I may say one of your oldest and dearest friends
33:35And
33:37She has fallen on hard times
33:40Rebecca, I'm sure it's Rebecca
33:44Her family has been most cruel to her
33:47Her son
33:49The same age as little Georgie here
33:51The Ruffians tore him shrieking from her arms, you know
33:54They took her child from her
33:56Emmy, there are two sides to this story
33:59But to lose her child, William
34:04Perhaps I should see her
34:09I think you should not, Emmy
34:12So, share and share about
34:18The fat one for you
34:20And the pretty little widow for me, what do you say?
34:22You have no chance there, so just stay clear
34:26As a matter of fact, another ship is coming into port
34:29This evening
34:31With a large party
34:33The greatest prize of all
34:35The greatest prize of all
34:51My lord
34:55My lord
35:05You cut you, Becky
35:15I didn't
35:17You wouldn't want to make a scandal
35:19I think you flatter yourself, Becky
35:21You're not the prize you were
35:23To him I am
35:25There
35:26To think I was considering Joss Sedley
35:28Mrs. Crawley
35:30Mr. Wenham
35:32What a happy coincidence
35:34There
35:36To think I was considering Joss Sedley
35:38Mrs. Crawley
35:40Mr. Wenham
35:42What a happy coincidence
35:44I have arranged for you to leave the restaurant now, Mrs. Crawley
35:48The bill has been settled, of course
35:50Yeah
35:51Lord Stane will be leaving Bad Pumpernickel tomorrow morning
35:54And will return in two weeks' time
35:56He will not find you in town
36:00If you stay
36:02You will risk very serious illness
36:04Or worse
36:08Sassinate poor little me
36:10How romantic
36:12Tell your master
36:19That I shall stay
36:21And tell him that
36:23I am not without friends to defend me
36:25If it should come to that
36:27Who?
36:29The Major here?
36:31I don't think so
36:33We know things about Major Loda
36:35That would send him to the gallows
36:37We have friends everywhere, Mrs. Crawley
36:39And we know everything
36:41Where you have been
36:43And who with
36:45Where you have debts
36:46And who you owe them to
36:48How was it, do you think
36:50That no minister on the continent
36:52Would receive Mrs. Crawley?
36:54Because she has offended someone
36:56Who never forgives
37:00You did wrong to show yourself to him
37:03For myself
37:08I am sorry to be the bringer of bad news
37:13I always found Madame's company quite
37:17Enchanting
37:33I never cared for him in any case
37:38He has a heart of stone
37:40I pity that poor creature by his side
37:43Be a different tune if you'd snared him a fancy
37:45Well, that's one gone and just two weeks left to nab the other
37:50I shall
37:52And if you do one thing to interfere
37:54What?
37:56Just don't, that's all
37:58Now go
38:00Now?
38:01I need my beauty sleep
38:03I need to
38:08I have to be the Becky they first knew
38:12Well, at least let me come up with you
38:14No, you'll frighten her with your disapproval
38:16You wait down here
38:18Amelia?
38:19No, she'll be perfectly all right
38:30That creature will wrap Emmy round her little finger
38:33Just as she did her husband
38:35Now, Dob, draw it mild
38:37She's a good girl at heart, I do believe
38:39And very fond of me
38:42And so might have her by Jove
38:59André
39:08Oh, Becky
39:11And so they took your darling child from you
39:14How could they?
39:16Oh, Emmy
39:19You can imagine my agonies
39:22I thought I should die
39:24I fell into a brain fever
39:28The doctors quite gave up on me
39:32But somehow I recovered
39:35And here I am
39:38Alone and friendless
39:43And how old is he now?
39:47Who?
39:50Seven
39:51Only seven
39:53Only seven
39:55But surely you
39:58Wasn't he born the same year as Georgie?
40:01Oh, Emmy
40:04Grief has made me forget so many things
40:09Becky, you cannot be happy in this place
40:13Needs must
40:18You don't mean to say you're going to have that woman here
40:19Living in your apartments under your protection
40:22Yes, I am
40:24So don't be angry and break all the furniture
40:26The poor creature and after all her sufferings
40:29Deserted by her husband
40:31Her child stolen from her very arms
40:34Forced to give singing lessons to get her bread
40:36Singing lessons?
40:38Is that what she told you?
40:40Well, take singing lessons by all means
40:42But don't have her in the house
40:44I'm astonished at you
40:47You who are always good and kind
40:51Now is the moment to help her
40:54Now she is miserable
40:56The oldest friend I ever had
40:59She was not always your friend, Emmy
41:02For shame, Major Dobbin
41:04I never thought you could be so cruel
41:06Oh, George
41:08For shame, Major Dobbin
41:11I never thought you could be so cruel
41:16Oh, George
41:20Oh, George
41:31Emmy?
41:33Forgive me
41:34Let her come and lodge with us if you will
41:46But you and I mustn't be enemies
41:54How could you, William?
41:55If I had forgiven it, was it for you to speak?
42:04And it's from his own lips that I know how wicked and groundless my jealousy was
42:13My husband was pure
42:17My saint in heaven
42:18My son
42:25No
42:26No
42:28No
42:29I
42:32No
42:36No
42:37No
42:39No
42:42No
42:44No
42:45Rebecca, this is my boy.
42:52Georgie, this is Rebecca Sharp, as she was, my oldest friend.
42:57I say, weren't you the lady?
43:01Oh, Emmy.
43:04He reminds me so of...
43:07And dear Joseph,
43:10this is just like those happy times so long ago.
43:15Major Tobin, how wonderful to see you.
43:22I am bound to tell you, ma'am, that it's not as your friend that I come here now.
43:26No, no, let's not have this sort of thing.
43:28I want to hear what he has to say.
43:30Well, well, I don't.
43:42Leave the room, Georgie.
43:45I came to say,
43:50and as you stay, Mrs. Crawley, I must say it in your presence,
43:55that I think a lady who is separated from her husband,
43:59who travels under a false name,
44:02and who frequents public gaming tables,
44:04is not a fit companion for Mrs. Osborne and her son.
44:10And there are people here who know you
44:11and have mentioned conduct I don't care to speak of
44:15before Mrs. Osborne.
44:18What is this conduct you don't care to speak of?
44:26My honour is as untouched as my dear friends here.
44:31But if you accuse me of being poor and forsaken,
44:35then, yes, I plead guilty to those faults,
44:38and I'm punished for them every day.
44:40Oh, Becky.
44:40You'd better let me go, Emmy.
44:45My stay interferes with the plans of this gentleman.
44:48Indeed it does, ma'am.
44:51And if I have any authority in this house...
44:53Authority?
44:54None!
44:55Come with me, Rebecca.
44:57He may go where he likes.
44:59Amelia, stay one moment and let me speak to you in private.
45:05You wish to speak ill of me when I'm not here.
45:09On my honour, ma'am, this is not to do with you.
45:13Emmy, please.
45:13I was confused just now.
45:31I misused the word authority.
45:33Yes, you did.
45:36But I do have claims to be heard.
45:39The claims left to me by George's father.
45:41Whose memory you insulted this very morning.
45:43And I will never forgive you for it.
45:46Never.
45:49You don't mean that, Amelia.
45:52It was not his memory I impugned.
45:59But I know why you cannot hear me.
46:02Why you will not hear me.
46:06I have loved and watched you for years in vain.
46:11Because you would rather cling to a memory than feel an attachment such as mine for you deserves.
46:19And which I would have won from a woman more generous than you.
46:22I think I knew all along that the prize I'd set my life on wasn't worth the winning.
46:34I was a fool, bartering all my truth and ardour against your little feeble remnant of love.
46:49Goodbye, Amelia.
46:50Goodbye, Amelia.
47:00Let it end.
47:01We're both weary of it.
47:05Am I to understand, then, that you are going away, William?
47:08I went once before and came back.
47:17I've spent enough of my life at this play.
47:19I'll see you soon be back.
47:21Bye.
47:43Bye.
47:45Bye.
47:45Bye.
47:45Bye.
47:46Bye.
47:46Bye.
47:48Bye.
47:48Bye.
47:48Bye.
47:48Bye.
47:49Bye.
47:49Oh, Peggy, I feel so...
48:08Now, listen to me, Amelia.
48:14It's time you saw sense.
48:15One of the best men I've ever known has offered you a hundred times.
48:25That man has a noble heart.
48:28And you've played with it shamefully.
48:30I tried, Peggy.
48:32I did, honestly.
48:35But I couldn't forget...
48:37Couldn't forget him.
48:41That preening boobie.
48:43He was ready to forget you soon enough.
48:51He would have jilted you except Dobby made him keep his word.
48:56It's false.
48:58It's false, Rebecca.
49:05Read this.
49:06He gave it to me at the ball the night before he was shot at Waterloo.
49:16He wanted me to run away with him.
49:18Oh, Peggy.
49:45It's all right.
50:00Now you can love Dobby with a clear conscience.
50:04And you've all the time in the world together.
50:10Oh, Peggy.
50:11Dove, Major Dobby!
50:32Wait!
50:33My ma wants to marry you after all!
50:39It was time you sent for me.
50:57So you will never go again, will you?
51:00No.
51:02Never.
51:02This is what you pined for, so cling tightly to him.
51:25Link to your rugged old oak and grow green again.
51:34Parasite.
51:36That's right.
51:37What?
51:38Do you understand that, Becky?
51:40Never you mind, Charles.
51:42Never you mind.
51:43Very you mind.
51:55That's right.
