00:00I've been riding on before.
00:17Good lass.
00:19What a wetness in the night.
00:22There will be no volcanoes after this.
00:25Hey Jack.
00:28My beautiful, slender young fella.
00:33Which one of us is Noah?
00:45I'm dashed if the jumping rain wouldn't make a body feel as drunk.
00:51Don?
00:54Don?
00:55Don?
00:57There's no more rain on this earth than there was a thousand years ago on all that side of it.
01:12I can't wear water now.
01:17It turns to clouds and falleth as rain on the just and the unjust.
01:27The Brangwins have lived at Marsh Farm above 200 years.
01:46This seems such a little space of time in a whole history.
01:51For even now I am 200 years Brangwen and only 16 years Ursula.
01:58Birth and death seem so tiny before the vast horizon of the great past.
02:06And even love seems as great a waste of human energy as my grandfather's drowning.
02:13Or my grandmother's grief calling to him across the rushing water.
02:18I was eight when my grandfather died.
02:21I was eight when my grandfather died.
02:25What to do?
02:26I'm a rich guy.
02:27I can't really get you from now on the floor.
02:28I can't really get you from now on the floor.
02:30I'm a rich guy.
02:31I have always
02:38to becampus.
02:43I'm a rich guy.
02:45My grandfather is not a charm.
02:46My grandfather is a fool.
02:48I was one of his properties.
02:50My grandfather is a thief.
02:51My grandfather is a thief.
02:52BIRDS CHIRP
03:22Ursula, why are you awake so early?
03:36It's funny.
03:39I thought I was awake, but I wasn't.
03:46Close the curtains, you awaken the others.
03:48I wish you wouldn't touch my head when I'm sleeping, Gudrun.
03:53I don't touch your head.
03:54You do.
03:57Sometimes you stretch out and touch my head.
04:01It gives me bad dreams.
04:04I'm going back to sleep.
04:09I hope it doesn't rain today.
04:18I hope it doesn't rain today.
04:23And it will show me world without end.
04:31Amen.
04:31Here begineth the first verse of the sixth chapter of the book, Genesis.
04:46And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth,
04:51and daughters were born unto them,
04:54that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were fair,
04:58and they took them wives of all which they chose.
05:00Who were the sons of God?
05:03Was Jesus the only son?
05:07Couldn't have been.
05:09The first man was Adam.
05:11There must have been others.
05:13There must have been other men who were not descended from Adam,
05:16but who came from God himself.
05:19Ah, they wouldn't have been put out of the garden of paradise.
05:24They must have stayed.
05:25The daughters must have come from Adam and Eve.
05:30And the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were fair.
05:34Must have looked over the fence at them.
05:37Wish I were fair.
05:40Maybe I could dye my hair when I grow up.
05:42And it repented the Lord, that he had made man on the earth.
05:47And it grieved him at his heart.
05:49Ow!
05:50And the Lord said...
05:51Shhh!
05:51Billy pillings is my hair.
05:53...who I have created from the face of the earth,
05:57both man and beast, and the creeping thing,
06:00and the fowls of the air.
06:02For it repenteth me, that I have made them.
06:06Ah!
06:06You won't pull my hair again, Billy pillings.
06:13Why, shan't I?
06:13You won't, because you're dirty.
06:15You come here and keep on, see if I dare to.
06:17Stop it!
06:18Sorry, Prada.
06:19Oh, we're just jitsy.
06:21She got long hair.
06:23Oh, my goodness.
06:24It's normal.
06:25You're not everybody here, the Pramon.
06:27Ugly mob.
06:28Well, I'm better than you are for all that.
06:30Yeah, you think you are?
06:31Fashion.
06:32Come in here immediately.
06:34Ugly woman.
06:34Razor, Katie.
06:35What a great big fat effort, Prada.
06:37March.
06:43I will not have it.
06:45Fighting right outside the church on Sunday.
06:48Wait till your father is about this.
06:49He doesn't start it.
06:50Fighting and shouting at common lads.
06:53Why do we send you to grammar school?
06:54Why do we throw our money away for you and Gudrun to go to Nottingham
06:58so you can come back and rate the roads of the village with the commonality?
07:03It's not my fault, Mother.
07:04Well, you stop it and the rest will stop it.
07:06Why do I always get the blame?
07:08Don't answer me back.
07:09I will not have it.
07:10Do you hear me?
07:10I will not have it.
07:11Don't you walk away from me when I'm speaking to you, Madam.
07:15I thought you'd finished.
07:18You are the most selfish, lazy, careless, impudent girl.
07:22People who love me don't think that.
07:24My grandmother doesn't think that.
07:29Your grandmother doesn't have to live with you.
07:32Elaine, the lily maid of Astolat, high in her chamber up a tower to the east, guarded the sacred shield of Amsalot.
07:50Ursula, ah, Ursula.
07:52Oh, God, I will go mad.
07:56It's locked, it's locked.
07:58Ursula, ah, Ursula.
08:00Mother, she won't answer.
08:01She's dead.
08:02I'm not dead.
08:03Go away.
08:04Open the door, ah, Ursula.
08:06What do you want?
08:07Ursula, what are you doing to the children?
08:12What are you doing?
08:14Why did you lock the door?
08:16Were you hiding from the giant?
08:17No, I was hiding from the midgets.
08:20I wanted peace.
08:25What are you doing?
08:26I'm looking for a quiet place.
08:28A little noisy, the nail, huh?
08:29I'm never going to find anywhere I can be alone.
08:32Why don't you go to the parish room?
08:36Oh, my God.
08:37Ursula!
08:41Where's Iris?
08:43She's gone out.
08:50Go away.
08:58Leaving her household and good father.
09:04Leaving her household and good father.
09:05Climbed that eastern tower.
09:08And barred her door.
09:10Stripped of the case.
09:12And read.
09:13Stripped of her case and read the naked shield.
09:17Now guessed a hidden meaning in his arms.
09:20Now made a pretty history to herself.
09:23Sh��로 comes to her.
09:26You know, we're going to be the actress.
09:29You know, she's done in a way.
09:30You know, please.
09:32And you're going to be the actress.
09:34You're going to be the actress.
09:36You know, she's gone and made herowego.
09:36You're going to be the actress.
09:37And you're going to be the actress.
09:39She's gone, my son.
09:39And I'm not a pioneer.
09:40I just haven't.
09:42You know, I just haven't had the actress.
09:43But, you know, she's been a little pioneer.
09:44I'm a huge профессор.
09:45That's why, what?
09:46I was talking about.
09:46You know, he was going to be the actress.
09:48You know, Hollywood.
09:49You know, she touched on her.
09:49You know, her...
09:49You know, she's going to be the actress.
09:51It's Uncle Tom.
10:17You were a curly-headed little lad.
10:29Was I?
10:30Yes, I know.
10:31They were very proud of my curls.
10:33You were a very well-mannered lad, I remember.
10:36Oh, did I ask you to stay the night?
10:38I always used to ask people to stay the night.
10:40I believe it was very trying for my mother.
10:45Ah-ha!
10:47Hello, Uncle Tom.
10:50And this is Anton Skrebensky.
11:00Baron Skrebensky, son, your grandmother's friend from Poland.
11:04We went to visit them in Yorkshire a long time ago.
11:07And we were all much younger.
11:09And no, you didn't ask us to stay the night.
11:12Are you from Poland?
11:12No, no, I was brought up in England.
11:15My mother was English.
11:17Only my father was Polish.
11:19Was?
11:20They're both dead.
11:23Oh.
11:24Are we taking you away from your studies?
11:28Oh, no, Uncle Tom.
11:30She won't wait to be taken away.
11:35I brought you something from Venice.
11:39Oh, Uncle Tom.
11:40It's beautiful.
11:44Don't you like study?
11:46I like some things.
11:48I like Latin.
11:49And French.
11:51And grammar.
11:53I don't.
11:54They say all the brains of the army are in the engineers.
11:58I think that's why I joined them.
12:00To get the credit of other people's brains.
12:02I don't think brains matter.
12:05And what does matter, then?
12:07It matters whether you have courage or not.
12:10Courage for what?
12:12For everything.
12:15Everything's nothing.
12:17She doesn't practice what she preaches.
12:19She has courage for mighty little.
12:22Do you like being in the army?
12:23I like it well enough.
12:25It reminds me of school.
12:27I was very happy at school.
12:28Were you?
12:29How lucky.
12:30I much preferred school to the vicarage.
12:33The vicarage?
12:34My home.
12:37Was your father a vicar?
12:38I thought he was a baron.
12:40I thought you were going to help me.
12:42I'll help you tomorrow.
12:43My workshop's in a terrible state.
12:45You let the door open!
12:47I don't know why he gets so angry with me.
12:50I didn't wreck his parish room.
12:53He loves you.
12:54He loves you more than any of us.
12:56So he gets angry sometimes.
12:59Strange.
13:00What?
13:02Love.
13:15If I fall in love, it'll be in the spring.
13:33Your grandfather proposed to grandmother in a field of daffodils.
13:36No, he didn't.
13:38He proposed in the vicarage kitchen.
13:40Well, he brought a bunch of daffodils, picked himself.
13:44Tilly saw him.
13:45She watched him pick them in the orchard.
13:48Tilly says, when the wind's in the right direction, it's a certain time of evening.
13:55She can still see him walking through the orchard picking daffodils.
13:59That's silly.
14:00No, it isn't.
14:02It means that every season he comes back.
14:04People keep coming round again.
14:08When the daffodils are in the orchard, grandfather appears.
14:12Granny says the same.
14:14I don't believe in ghosts.
14:17It's a trick of light.
14:18Hello, Uncle Fred.
14:37Grandmother's expecting you.
14:39How is she?
14:40Talking Polish again, Tilly says.
14:43Where are you going?
14:44Second cows and set by her.
14:45Can I help you?
14:46If you'd like.
14:48Come on.
15:18Come on.
15:34All night.
15:36If you'd like.
15:38Bye.
15:42Bye.
15:43Bye.
15:43Bye.
15:44Bye.
15:46Bye.
15:47Bye.
15:47Oh, my God.
16:17Hello, Timmy.
16:33Oh, what pretty flowers.
16:36Such a darling little bunch.
16:39This is just how the peasants tied them at home.
16:43Just such tight little bunches.
16:46They weave the stalks and make wreaths for their hair.
16:51When I was a little girl, I had golden hair.
16:55And I had a wreath of little blue flowers.
16:59Oh, so blue.
17:02They came after the snow was gone.
17:04André, the coachman, used to bring me the very first.
17:11Why do you have two wedding rings, Grandfather?
17:14Because I had two husbands.
17:17Which was my grandfather's ring?
17:21This grandfather whom you knew?
17:23Hmm.
17:24This was his ring, the red one.
17:27The yellow one was your real grandfather's, whom you never knew.
17:31Which grandfather did you like best?
17:34I liked them both.
17:36Anna, is that you?
17:43No, Grandmother.
17:44It's me, Ursula.
17:46Oh, Ursula.
17:48How nice to see you.
17:51Oh, thank you.
17:53I hope I didn't wake you.
17:57No, no.
17:59I sleep too much.
18:01And I don't like to.
18:02I have such dreams.
18:04Oh, I have dreams, too.
18:07What do you dream about?
18:08The past.
18:09My family.
18:11Do you ever dream about Poland?
18:13Hmm, not about Poland, no.
18:17About my mother and father when I was a child.
18:20And how my mother used to cry a lot.
18:24Because my father sold the woods and forests to have money to jingle in his pocket.
18:29So that he could go to Kiev, Warsaw, Paris.
18:33I wish I had money.
18:34Money won't make you happy.
18:37No, but if I had money, I could be free.
18:40Is it so bad?
18:43Yes.
18:47I think you're very lucky, Grandmother.
18:50Lucky?
18:52To have come from so far.
18:54And to have had two husbands.
18:57Oh, I see.
18:59Well, you must be patient with life, Ursula.
19:03Not rush through it.
19:05Things will come to you.
19:08Do you think that anyone will ever love me?
19:11We all love you, my dear.
19:14But when I'm grown up, will somebody love me?
19:18Yes.
19:20Some man will love you because it is your nature, Ursula.
19:23I hope it will be somebody who will love you for what you are and not for what he wants of you.
19:32We have a right to what we want.
19:36You must never be afraid of that.
19:39Oh, they're coming!
19:48Oh, they're coming!
19:48We're a little late.
20:07I'm afraid it's my fault.
20:09You're not late.
20:10We weren't going anywhere.
20:11Where have you been?
20:12Just now.
20:13We went to Derby to see a friend of my father's.
20:16Of who?
20:18Why, he's a clergyman.
20:20He's my guardian.
20:22One of them.
20:25Mrs. Lenski, my father always said you'd look like a girl when you're 60.
20:29My dear child, I passed 60 some time ago.
20:33And no one has called me Mrs. Lenski for years.
20:37But you look more like Mrs. Lenski than Mrs. Brangwen.
20:40You have your father's charm.
20:48How did you know Baron Skrebensky, Grandmother?
20:50I stayed swear close by.
20:52I knew him when he was young.
20:55He was very dashing.
20:57And so generous.
20:59Was he?
21:01Why did he come to England?
21:03Was he a patriot too?
21:04He felt very strongly about being a Pole.
21:07He never talked to me about that.
21:09I think my father found it different.
21:12He came here expecting to be treated like an aristocrat.
21:15But he wasn't.
21:15He was treated like a vicar and a foreigner.
21:17It's very hard when you have lost so heavily.
21:21It's very hard to live again.
21:23I think life is hard if you make unreasonable demands on it.
21:26What sort of demands?
21:28I think order is more important than liberty.
21:32And duty is more important than rights.
21:35Do you?
21:36The rights of man are a nonsense.
21:37You mustn't be angry with your father.
21:43I'm not angry.
21:46Won't you have tea with us?
21:48My teeth.
21:49I can't eat anything.
21:54Have you ever been in Poland?
21:56No.
21:57My father's estates were confiscated many years ago.
22:02So I don't suppose there's anything to go back to.
22:04Wouldn't you like to see where your people come from?
22:06No.
22:07It belongs to the past.
22:09Where's your home now?
22:10My home?
22:12I wonder.
22:12I'm very fond of my colonel.
22:15Colonel Hepburn.
22:16Then there's my art.
22:18My real home, I suppose, is the army.
22:21Do you like being on your own?
22:23I suppose so.
22:25I went away to school when I was nine,
22:27so the outside world was always more naturally a home to me.
22:30I don't know why.
22:32Do you feel like a bird, blown out of its latitude?
22:35Oh, no.
22:36I find everything very much as I like it.
22:41Are you very rich?
22:45I have about 150 a year of my own,
22:47so I am rich or poor, as you like.
22:50You're not poor, are you?
22:51You will earn money.
22:52I shall have my pay.
22:54I have my pay now.
22:55I've got a commission.
22:55That's another 150.
22:57You will have more, though.
22:59I shan't have more than 200 pounds a year for 10 years.
23:02I shall always be poor if I have to live on my pay.
23:05I should very much like to earn money.
23:08Do you mind it?
23:10What?
23:10Being poor.
23:12Not now.
23:13Not much.
23:15I may later.
23:17People, the officers, are good to me.
23:19Colonel Hepburn has a sort of fancy for me.
23:22He is rich, I suppose.
23:24Is Colonel Hepburn married?
23:26Yes.
23:27He has two daughters.
23:32You look very lazy.
23:37I am lazy.
23:39You look really floppy.
23:41I am floppy.
23:43Can't you stop it?
23:45No.
23:46It's perpetual motion.
23:49You look as if you haven't a bone in your body.
23:51That's how I like to feel.
23:54I don't admire your taste.
23:56That is my misfortune.
24:02Damn it.
24:08What is wrong with you?
24:10Men don't rot themselves.
24:11Girls don't pull men's hair.
24:14Good run.
24:19And we're going to have some tea.
24:21We were waiting for you.
24:22I'm going to Derby again on Thursday.
24:26I'll have school on Thursday.
24:28After school.
24:29That'll be lovely.
24:32Ah, ah.
24:33Let's go.
25:03Let's go.
25:33Do you know the difference between a Gothic arch and a round one?
25:48No.
25:50Well, a round arch is a bow.
25:54It has its roots in the earth but reaches endlessly to heaven.
25:57And it signifies eternity.
26:00Whereas a Gothic arch is broken.
26:03It never reaches eternity or the infinite.
26:07And it signifies human aspirations.
26:11Because they never quite reach heaven.
26:14That's ingenious.
26:15My father studies church architecture.
26:19He says that Gothic arches are beautiful and sad.
26:28I prefer the bow because it's eternal and changeless.
26:33Shall we go?
26:42I don't think human aspirations have anything to do with reaching heaven.
26:53What have they to do with them?
26:54Well, as long as the average man can feed his little child, clothe his wife, live in his own house and work for his own living, he's happy.
27:04Yes, but what would make you happy?
27:06Well, it's not my personal happiness that's important.
27:10It's the happiness of the nation as a whole.
27:13Oh.
27:14Well, just look ahead.
27:43Just look in and say goodnight and I'll walk you home.
27:49The moonlight does such strange things to the countryside.
27:54When you come back, you won't be able to see at all.
27:58Why not?
28:00The moon will be behind you.
28:13I came to ask you if you'd marry me.
28:43You're all free, aren't you?
28:46The moon will be behind you.
28:47I'm going to ask you if you're the sun will be behind me.
28:52I'm going to ask you if you're the sun will be behind you.
28:56The baby didn't see, Mother.
29:16Oh, aren't the children in bed yet, Mother?
29:20I'll be in bed in half an hour.
29:22There's no peace.
29:23The children have to live.
29:25Why should I follow you with your gown, Cassie?
29:28I've got all my soldiers.
29:30Haven't you any homework?
29:32Near the end of time, I don't get so much.
29:35When are you off again, Anton?
29:37Oh, Friday.
29:38Oh, let's go to the parish room.
29:40I meant to show you my little wood carving.
29:43I'm sure it's not worth showing that.
29:45My father's done some carvings, too.
29:47His are better.
29:48Come.
29:49Come in.
29:50Do you want an apple or a glass of milk?
29:53I can't put any sand of milk.
29:54Oh.
29:55Oh.
29:56Oh.
29:57Oh.
29:58Oh.
29:59Oh.
30:00Oh.
30:01Oh.
30:02Oh.
30:03Oh.
30:04Oh.
30:05Oh.
30:06Oh.
30:07Oh.
30:08Oh.
30:09Oh.
30:10Oh.
30:11Oh.
30:12Oh.
30:13Oh.
30:14Oh.
30:15Oh.
30:16Oh.
30:17Oh.
30:18Oh.
30:19Oh.
30:20Oh.
30:21Oh.
30:22Oh.
30:23Oh.
30:24Oh.
30:25Oh.
30:26Oh.
30:27Oh.
30:28Oh.
30:29Oh.
30:30Oh.
30:31Oh.
30:32Oh.
30:33Oh.
30:34Oh.
30:35Oh.
30:36Oh.
30:37Oh.
30:38Oh.
30:39Oh.
30:40Oh.
30:41I wish my father was more than he is.
30:49If I had a father as he ought to be,
30:52he would be Earl William Brangwen
30:54and I should be Lady Ursula.
30:58What right have I to be poor?
31:02If I had my rights,
31:04I should be seated on horseback in a green riding habit
31:08and my groom would be behind me.
31:11And I should stop at the gates of the cottages
31:13and inquire of the woman who comes out with a child in her arms.
31:18How did her husband...
31:19Stop talking nonsense.
31:22Some women are made for talking
31:23and some for making love.
31:29You are made for making love.
31:33Am I not intelligent?
31:38Do you think Miss Inga's pretty?
31:40Maude doesn't think so.
31:41I'm not sure.
31:42No, I don't.
31:44I think she's very handsome.
31:46Come along here, Lebrangwen.
32:09I'll race you.
32:09I'll race you.
32:28I'll race you.
32:30No.
32:31No.
32:32No.
32:33No.
32:34No.
32:35No.
32:35What are you talking about?
32:37What are you talking about?
32:46Oh my God!
33:05I didn't see you come in.
33:10I enjoyed our race, did you?
33:12Yes.
33:16I won't be long.
33:19Your hair is so beautiful.
33:35My father was a classical scholar in the clergyman.
33:38He was rather a progressive thinker as far as women are concerned,
33:41so I was allowed to study science at Newnham.
33:43I should love to go to college.
33:45Oh, you must.
33:46You look a very good student.
33:48Do you think so?
33:50Yes, I do.
33:51Education is the bridge for women to independence.
34:21I believe that Jesus died for me.
34:33He suffered for me, but I don't believe in his humanity.
34:37I don't believe he was just a man living an ordinary life.
34:41It's only vulgar people who insist on the humanity of Christ.
34:43Jesus is of another world.
34:49I don't believe in a Jesus who thrust his bloody wounds under my face and say,
34:55look, Ursula Brangman, I got these for you.
34:58Do as you're told.
35:00No.
35:01No, Jesus is...
35:02Jesus is like the moon,
35:05shining in the distance,
35:07beautiful and remote.
35:09You don't believe, do you?
35:14I just don't think it...
35:15I just don't believe every hair of my head is numbered.
35:19I think my own things belong to me,
35:21and I can do as I like with them,
35:22as long as I leave other people's things alone.
35:24I adore chocolate cake.
35:27Would you like some?
35:28Oh, taste it, please.
35:30I do so love tea.
35:33Hate dinner.
35:34I could eat cakes all the time.
35:37Aren't you hungry?
35:39Oh, have one.
35:39I don't like cheese.
35:41Don't you?
35:41I love it.
35:44I'm going back to my regiment this afternoon.
35:45Oh, excuse me.
35:47Could you bring some other kind of sandwiches?
35:48We don't like cheese.
35:50And also two glasses of that rather nice Rhone wine.
35:55You will have a glass, won't you?
35:57I don't want any.
35:58Oh, uh, just one glass.
36:01You can have some of mine.
36:03No, you can't apply the everyday world to the world of God.
36:06It's not literal.
36:07How could it be?
36:08It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle
36:12than for a rich man to enter heaven.
36:14Well, does that mean we have to go around
36:16giving away our two cows, mother's jewellery,
36:19the capital at the bank, to the labourers of the district?
36:23Because if it does, well, I'll just forgo heaven.
36:28What's the matter?
36:31I've brought you something.
36:33What is it?
36:35Parting gift.
36:43Anton.
36:45How beautiful.
36:48Oh, I'm so happy.
36:49It's such a lovely day.
37:05Now.
37:09We each must drink
37:10till it's finished.
37:12To us.
37:18To us.
37:18To us.
37:18To us.
37:20To us.

37:43To us.
37:44To us.
37:44To us.
37:45To us.
37:45To us.
37:46I'll wear it on a ribbon.
38:16Around my neck, next to my heart.
38:46I wanted to kiss him.
38:53I wanted to kiss him, to take him in my arms and hold him.
39:00But I could only touch his hand.
39:07Goodbye.
39:12Everything happens so quickly and the moments pass.
39:19Except my grandmother says that nothing that has been ever really goes away.
39:24Summer, the leaves on the trees.
39:25Love.
39:26I could never die while there's a tree.
39:31Dear Anton.
39:32The sunshine has come out.
39:33Especially for your birthday.
39:34I made the cake myself.
39:35And wish you many happy returns.
39:36The sunshine has come out.
39:37Especially for your birthday.
39:38I made the cake myself.
39:39And wish you many happy returns of the day.
39:45Don't eat it if it is not good.
39:46Don't eat it if it is not good.
39:52That looks nice.
39:53I'd have helped you with the icing if you'd ask me.
39:54That looks nice.
39:55I'd have helped you with the icing if you'd ask me.
40:00Why?
40:01What's wrong with it?
40:02It's very nice.
40:03Mother hopes and I'll have the icing.
40:04I'd have helped you with the icing if you'd ask me.
40:12Why?
40:13What's wrong with it?
40:14It's very nice.
40:16Mother hopes I'll have to do so.
40:19I'd have helped you with the icing, if you'd asked me.
40:23Why? What's wrong with it?
40:25It's very nice.
40:29Mother hopes you will be able to get leave for Uncle Fred's wedding.
40:33I am your sincere friend, Ursula Brangham.
40:45Shut up, sinner!
40:49What's up?
40:53That's a fine side friend!
40:57Way after, to the station.
40:59Ursula's going to have tea with a teacher.
41:02A teacher?
41:04Didn't know I used to find the lessons.
41:05It's not a lesson, it's a social invitation.
41:08I hope some of it rubs off.
41:10Oh, I nearly forgot. Mother said to tell Auntie Laura.
41:12I know you're not married yet, but I think of her as me aunt already.
41:16Tell Auntie Laura the bridesmaid dresses are ready for fitting.
41:19Aye, all right.
41:21Have a good day. Bye.
41:23Bye-bye.
41:27What train back will you get?
41:28I'll get the last one at ten o'clock.
41:31There's no point in me going if I have to come back early.
41:34Well, I'll meet your train.
41:35No, there's no need.
41:36I'll still meet your train.
41:38Human desire is the criterion for all truth and all good.
41:52But how can we trust our desires?
41:54It's not as simple as it sounds.
41:55If we say what we desire is good, what is good is what makes us happy.
41:59Pain is the only evil.
42:01But if I fall in love, that is good.
42:02That gives me pleasure.
42:04Yes.
42:05And absence from the person I love causes me pain.
42:09Exactly.
42:10So we must educate our desires.
42:11Oh, how can I do that?
42:13You must avoid pain.
42:14The absence of pain is itself a pleasure.
42:16There are two possible paths open to us as I see it which lead to personal happiness.
42:21The first is through emotional relations with others or another, and the second is through knowledge.
42:28Now, both can lead to personal happiness, but the presence of pain is greater on the first path than on the second.
42:34And the second path offers independence.
42:38Are you saying that I should not love in order to avoid pain?
42:42Well, that seems such a cowardly way to live.
42:45It's so dull.
42:47I don't want a quiet life.
42:48I want a passionate and vigorous life.
42:50But an intellectual excitement isn't cowardly, especially when men offer so little.
42:55A man doesn't come to know me.
42:57He comes to an idea of me.
43:00Love is a dead idea.
43:04They go to women to abuse themselves.
43:07They do not come to discover themselves.
43:11It is better to remain neutral than to be used in such a way.
43:16You know many men.
43:20I do not think it is possible to find happiness with men.
43:25Why are you so nervous?
43:36Anybody think you were getting married?
43:37Aren't you, bridesmaid?
43:39Well, I hope it makes Uncle Fred happier.
43:41He's cross all the time.
43:43He's so cross he even shouts at the dog.
43:46You should hear him in the field sometimes.
43:47Woof, woof, woof, oh shut up, sinner.
43:51Shut up, sinner!
43:52Enough, good room.
43:55Isn't it lovely having a summer wedding?
43:57You got married at Christmas, didn't you, mother?
43:5923rd of December, day before Christmas Eve.
44:02Your grandfather came and stood outside our window and serenaded us with carols.
44:06On your wedding night?
44:07Shepherds with their flocks abiding.
44:10He was drunk, of course.
44:12I shall never forget it.
44:13He gave her the fright of our lives.
44:16And a man and a woman make an angel.
44:21Here he is at last.
44:22I'm so glad you can come.
44:23I have until tomorrow morning.
44:25Splendid.
44:26The real celebrations this evening.
44:27You look like a wood nymph.
44:50Would you like to be a soldier?
44:52I'm not exactly a soldier.
44:54But you only do things for war?
44:56Yes.
44:57Would you like to go to war?
44:59Yes.
45:00It'd be very exciting.
45:03But what would you be doing if you went to war?
45:06If you'd be making railways or bridges.
45:08If you'd only make them to be pulled down again when the armies are done with them,
45:11it seems just as much a game.
45:14If you call war a game.
45:15What is it then?
45:16It's about the most serious business there is, fighting.
45:19Why is fighting more serious than anything else?
45:22Because you either kill or get killed.
45:23But when you're dead, you don't matter anymore.
45:28But the result matters.
45:32It matters whether we settle the Mahdi or not.
45:35I don't care about cartoon.
45:39But you have to have room to live in.
45:42Somebody has to make room.
45:43But I don't want to live in the Sahara Desert, do you?
45:46Well, I don't.
45:47But you have to back up those who do.
45:48Why?
45:49Well, where is the nation if we don't?
45:50I don't want to be the nation.
45:51I want to be myself.
45:52But you couldn't be yourself if there wasn't a nation.
45:54Why not?
45:55You'd be a prey to everybody and anybody.
45:57How?
45:57They can take everything you've got.
45:58Good.
45:59They can take what they like.
46:01I'd rather have a robber who carried me off than a millionaire who'd given me everything
46:04I asked for.
46:04That's because you're a romanticist.
46:06Yes, I am.
46:06I want to be a romanticist.
46:09I hate soldiers.
46:10They're all so stiff and wooden.
46:12What do you fight for, really?
46:14I fight for the nation.
46:16For all that you aren't the nation.
46:17What would you do for yourself?
46:19I belong to the nation and must do my duty by it.
46:21No.
46:23Seems to me as if you weren't anybody.
46:25As if there weren't anybody there.
46:27Are you anybody, really?
46:29You seem like nothing to me.
46:35Farewell, St. George.
46:36That's end of the form.
46:37A doctor, a doctor.
46:38Or I am done.
46:40Doctor, doctor.
46:41Do come.
46:41Then comes I, the doctor.
46:43The soldier of all pain.
46:45Take this heel with wax.
46:47Down, thy kiff-jaff.
46:48Rise up to God and fight again.
46:51Hit that.
46:52Hooray!
46:55There's four honours here.
46:58Four actors called.
47:00And we've come forth to tell of a man.
47:04His name was St. George.
47:07The champion of all.
47:10And we've told you the best that we've done.
47:15Hooray!
47:16Hooray!
47:16Thank you!
47:16Hooray!
47:33Hooray!
47:36Ho Jeep!
48:07Do you remember this comb, Theo?
48:35I do.
48:37You proposed to me here at harvest time.
48:47When the sheaves were lying on the stubble.
48:50I said, we'll get married soon.
48:53And you said, I want to go home.
48:55Did I say that?
49:01What is it?
49:04I was just thinking, Father, isn't he?
49:08It seems so unfair.
49:09I said, I want to go home.
49:39Where, Grandfather?
49:45Where?
49:46Where?
49:46I said, I want to go home.
49:54Wait a minute.
49:55I saw the floor.
49:56I saw the floor.
49:57Come on guys, I give you three.
50:00Come on guys.
50:01Come on guys.
50:01Come on guys.
50:03Come on.
50:04Come on guys.
50:04Let's go.
51:05Don't you like me, Ursula?
51:10Don't you like me anymore?
51:11Don't you like me anymore?
52:05Come in, Mother.
52:23Take the bed.
52:26Take them indoors now.
52:35Take them indoors now.
53:05Where are we going, Ursula?
53:23Come write me down, ye powers above, the man that first created love.
53:43For I've a diamond in my eyes, where all my joys and comforts lie.
53:53Where all my joys and comforts lie.
54:01Let me come.
54:02I'll give you gold, I'll give you pearl, if you can fancy me, dear girl.
54:13Rich costly robes that you shall wear, if you can fancy me, my dear.
54:23If you can fancy me, my dear.
54:31So to the church they went that very next day,
54:37And were married by asking, as I've heard say.
54:43And now that girl, she is his wife.
54:48She'll prove his comfort day and night.
54:54She'll prove his comfort day and night.
55:02In the 600th year of Noah's life, in the second month, the 17th day of the month,
55:09The same day where all the fountains of the great deep broken up,
55:14And the windows of heaven were opened,
55:17And the rain was upon the earth,
55:21Forty days and forty nights.
55:25Forty nights.
55:35I wonder if I'm the just, or the unjust.
55:55Ooh, woohoo!
55:57Woo-ah!
55:58Ooh-ah!
56:08Fuck!
56:20Ooh-ah-ah!
56:21I will establish my covenant with you.
56:43Neither shall all flesh be cut off anymore by the waters of a flood.
56:48Neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
56:55And God said, this is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you for perpetual generations.
57:09I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
57:18But it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud.
57:29And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh.
57:35And the waters shall, no more, become a club to destroy all flesh.
57:46And the bow shall be in the cloud.
57:50And I will look upon it.
57:52What?
57:52I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
58:00Don't leave me.
58:03Come back to me.
58:05Yes.
58:06This is the token of the covenant.
58:08You will come back to me.
58:10Which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
58:17You will come back to me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
58:20You will come back to me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
58:21You will come back to me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
58:22You will come back to me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
58:23You will come back to me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
58:24You will come back to me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
58:25You will come back to me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
58:26You will come back to me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
58:27You will come back to me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
58:28You will come back to me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
58:29You will come back to me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
58:31You will come back to me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
58:32You will come back to me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
