00:00:28What I ask you is, are you Englishmen or are you a lot of foreigners?
00:00:46Are you free and independent citizen or are you a flock of blooming sheep?
00:00:52Do you want England to be ruled by a house-tider?
00:00:55No.
00:00:56No.
00:00:57No, you say.
00:00:59Then who is it here, Israeli, that he should be Prime Minister of England?
00:01:05A Jew, whose grandfather was a Italian, a blooming foreigner.
00:01:11Here he is.
00:01:13What's he done for England, I ask you.
00:01:16What's he done?
00:01:17Nothing.
00:01:18Our friend here says nothing.
00:01:23He must be blind, deaf and dumb as well as intoxicated.
00:01:31And what does he say now?
00:01:33He says Russia is looking at us with eyes of yearning.
00:01:37That the Tsar has set up in his heart to rule the Seventh Sea.
00:01:43Blooming rocks.
00:01:45I says down with Disraeli.
00:01:47Ladson is the man for us.
00:01:51I consider it an affront to every English gentleman that the destinies of our nation should be in the hands of a person like Disraeli.
00:02:11A man who poses as a great patriot, but who is in reality an unprincipled politician seeking only to gratify his mad thirst for power.
00:02:21And now, he wants to involve us in serious international trouble with this infernal nonsense about Russia trying to undermine our power in India.
00:02:31If the fellow keeps on, he'll put England on the rocks.
00:02:35What does the governor of the Bank of England say?
00:02:39I say he's a dreamer.
00:02:41A dangerous visionary.
00:02:43Reaching out for empire with greedy hands.
00:02:46Committing us to a foreign policy of imperialism that makes me tremble for England's safety.
00:02:52But thank God for Gladstone.
00:02:55He's more than a match for Disraeli.
00:02:58A foreign policy such as the Right Honourable Gentleman proposes would not only gain us and deservedly the ill will of other nations,
00:03:14but would ultimately involve us in that red calamity, war.
00:03:20I say that in proposing such a policy, the Right Honourable Gentleman has branded himself as unworthy to be the councillor of England's sovereign.
00:03:33Unworthy to be the guardian of England's welfare.
00:03:37Unworthy to hold the high office of Prime Minister.
00:03:50And now that my Honourable Friend, Mr. Gladstone, with his customary eloquence and tact, has expressed his customary disapproval,
00:04:06the issue, gentlemen, is this.
00:04:09Whether you are content to be a comfortable England, meeting in due course with a sad inevitable fate,
00:04:16or whether you will be a great country, an imperial country,
00:04:20a country where your sons, when they rise, will rise to paramount positions,
00:04:25and obtain not merely the esteem of their own countrymen, but the esteem of the world.
00:04:31Perhaps you think that because no war clouds darken the present horizon, that there is no danger.
00:04:39Have you ever seen one of those marine landscapes of the coast of South America?
00:04:45You behold a range of exhausted volcanoes.
00:04:51Not a flame flickers on a single pallid peak.
00:04:57But beneath, there is a dormant danger that will one day awake.
00:05:15You see, you're worrying about something.
00:05:27No, no, my dear. I sometimes think, but I never worry.
00:05:31Dizzy, you're worrying about something.
00:05:39No, no, my dear.
00:05:40I sometimes think, but I never worry.
00:05:44Well, I'll not bother you now about our garden coffee.
00:05:47But I'm dying to be bothered.
00:05:49Mary, my dear, your morning tribute.
00:05:52Thank you, Dizzy.
00:05:54Every morning, wherever we are, you never forget.
00:05:58Nonsense.
00:05:59You know I married you for your money.
00:06:01Let me see our list of invitations.
00:06:06Lady Clarissa Pevensey.
00:06:08Oh, and her father and mother, the Duke and Duchess of Glastonbury.
00:06:12I'm afraid the Duke and Duchess shiver with contempt at the very name of Disraeli.
00:06:18But Clarissa will see that they come when they want to or not.
00:06:20Dear Clarissa, she thinks you're the greatest man in the world.
00:06:24And she's right.
00:06:26She's quite right, my dear.
00:06:27Who young Deeford will condescend to come in order to protect Clarissa against my diabolical influence.
00:06:33I'm quite sure your party will be a great success.
00:06:38Mary, I want you to invite Bozinov.
00:06:42Yes, dear.
00:06:42The Russian ambassador.
00:06:44Most agreeable gentleman.
00:06:45And, uh, I also want you to invite Mrs. Travers.
00:06:52Mrs. Travers?
00:06:53Why, we scarcely know her.
00:06:55That's why I want you to invite her.
00:06:57I'm anxious to cultivate her acquaintance.
00:07:01Mary.
00:07:02Yes, dear?
00:07:02Where have I met her before?
00:07:06Oh, we've met her at dinner.
00:07:08No, no.
00:07:10I mean, long ago.
00:07:12I connect her with something blue and white.
00:07:18Now, Dizzy, you're off on one of your wild goose chases again.
00:07:29Blue and white.
00:07:30Dizzy.
00:07:32Blue and white.
00:08:02Mrs. Travers.
00:08:08Oh, my dear Mrs. Travers.
00:08:12You're looking more charming than usual.
00:08:15Please, sit down.
00:08:18Um, did you learn anything?
00:08:22We've nothing immediate to fear from this race.
00:08:25He can't act without Parliament.
00:08:28And Parliament has adjourned, thanks the Lord.
00:08:30Yes.
00:08:32England has obligingly tied hands to the one man who might have blocked Russia's plans.
00:08:39And long before his hands are free, we shall have come to terms with Egypt.
00:08:47Russia will control the Swiss Canal.
00:08:49And the Israeli's dream of British supremacy in Asia will still be only a dream.
00:08:57But don't forget, but don't forget, even with his hands tied, Israeli can still get things from up his sleeve.
00:09:07He must be watched as closely as ever.
00:09:12Mr. Pauls, I'm south side.
00:09:19Oh, uh, throw him in.
00:09:22Husbands always arrive at the wrong moment.
00:09:27Hello, Pauls.
00:09:28Hello, sir.
00:09:28Hello, dear.
00:09:29Cigarettes?
00:09:32Oh, thanks.
00:09:33Anything new?
00:09:35Things will be at a standstill at this Israeli's office until he comes back from Huwenden.
00:09:39I got a note from him this morning telling me I might have the rest of the week off.
00:09:43And thanking me for my faithful attention to his interests.
00:09:50I'm afraid the great Israeli is getting old.
00:09:59Dear Clarissa.
00:10:05Dear Lady Becky Steele.
00:10:07Bye, Count.
00:10:08Beaver.
00:10:12My dear, you look charming.
00:10:14How do you do?
00:10:14How do you?
00:10:15Spirit of youth and beauty.
00:10:17Beaver.
00:10:18Behold.
00:10:20Winter hand in hand with spring.
00:10:22Innocence with guile.
00:10:25Experience.
00:10:26Same thing.
00:10:29May I be permitted?
00:10:37If something would only happen to Charles to make him human.
00:10:41Perhaps something may happen to him, my dear, with the help of Teresa.
00:10:46Oh.
00:10:47But to a man of your sound judgment, Mr. Disraeli's ideas must sometimes appear...
00:10:57Utterly impractical.
00:10:59Wildly fantastic.
00:11:01The Bank of England's money will never back any of his crazy enterprises as long as I can prevent it.
00:11:07How fortunate England has men like you.
00:11:13Why, Mrs. Travers, may I be allowed to join you?
00:11:16Oh, yes, certainly.
00:11:17Sit down, dear.
00:11:22What a heavenly spot this is.
00:11:25The Prime Minister's garden.
00:11:26Why do you dislike Mr. Disraeli so much?
00:11:33I neither like him nor dislike him.
00:11:35He's nothing to me.
00:11:37Oh.
00:11:38Don't you feel lonely?
00:11:40Lonely?
00:11:41You're the only man in all the world who neither likes nor dislikes Mr. Disraeli.
00:11:45Yes, yes.
00:11:46I know how much you admire him.
00:11:47But we won't argue about that now.
00:11:50Pray be seated, Lady Clarissa.
00:11:51I have spoken to your mother, and she has given me her gracious permission to address you.
00:12:02Was her permission needed?
00:12:04Well, I'm rather a stickler for formula.
00:12:06I know.
00:12:08I consider it my duty to marry.
00:12:11Yes?
00:12:11I am much interested in the working man.
00:12:14I have plans for building model cottages with improved sanitary appliances.
00:12:19I trust my wife and I.
00:12:21We'll show our humble friends a model English household.
00:12:24Model children.
00:12:25In short, a model...
00:12:26One moment.
00:12:27What have all these models to do with me?
00:12:31Have I not made myself clear?
00:12:34Since first I had the privilege of meeting you, I have watched you closely.
00:12:38And, Clarissa...
00:12:39May I call you Clarissa?
00:12:43I have decided that in time, you will become admirably suited to occupy the position I have adumbrated.
00:12:50I beg your pardon?
00:12:53Adumbrated.
00:12:55Outlined.
00:12:56Oh, thank you.
00:12:57You will think me very silly, Charles.
00:12:59May I call you Charles?
00:13:03But is this...
00:13:04Is this really an offer of marriage?
00:13:07I hoped I had made that clear without offensive plainness of speech.
00:13:11How wonderful.
00:13:12Oh, but you have the right to expect a high matrimonial alliance.
00:13:17I mean the manner of your proposal.
00:13:20Well, surely...
00:13:21You are a young man of 25.
00:13:23I am a girl of 19.
00:13:24And you come to me with an essay on political economy.
00:13:27I am a man of heavy responsibilities.
00:13:29Not a hero of romance.
00:13:31You will enter a family of which the men have never done anything to be ashamed of.
00:13:36Have they ever done anything?
00:13:37Nothing, thank God, to attract attention.
00:13:43Well, I think the next thing will be to announce our betrothal.
00:13:48Not quite.
00:13:50I am very much honored, Lord Deeford.
00:13:51But I must decline the responsibilities and the privileges.
00:13:55I beg your pardon?
00:13:56Oh, Charles, Charles, you've made a horrible hash of the whole thing.
00:13:59Hash?
00:14:00Yes, for pity's sake, let me talk, slang, or I shall have hysterics.
00:14:03I did like you.
00:14:05I liked you very much.
00:14:06But your model cottages leave me cold, because I know the laborer wants bread, not bricks.
00:14:11And oh, those model children.
00:14:13I want flesh and blood children, who tear their pinafores and smear their faces with jams.
00:14:18But Lady Clarissa...
00:14:19If ever I marry, and I hope I shall, I want a husband who is at the bottom in his climbing.
00:14:24Climbing on hands and knees.
00:14:27Bleeding hands and bleeding knees.
00:14:29With his eyes fixed on the summit.
00:14:31Never mind if he never gets there.
00:14:33I can help him to climb.
00:14:34And if he falls, I can fall with him.
00:14:37But, no, you were born at the top.
00:14:39You sit in a rarefied atmosphere like the gods on Olympus.
00:14:43Oh.
00:14:43I see I have made a mistake.
00:14:56Well, you refused him, eh?
00:15:00Oh, how did you know?
00:15:02That back was eloquent of refusal.
00:15:06You have no sympathy with ready-made greatness.
00:15:09You refused Eiffel, because he's a mere descendant.
00:15:12I'm not an ancestor.
00:15:14Well, am I not right?
00:15:18Well, he may become an ancestor, you know.
00:15:22Tell me.
00:15:26Are you fond of him?
00:15:27I like him very much.
00:15:29If he had simply said, Clarissa, will you marry me?
00:15:33I might have answered just as simply, yes.
00:15:36But he lectured me on model cottages and the model family.
00:15:39You know, I have a very high opinion of him.
00:15:41You?
00:15:43But he has no initiative.
00:15:45Who knows?
00:15:46If the opportunity occurred, he might rise to it.
00:15:49A man should make his own opportunity.
00:15:51And it's no use talking.
00:15:52I refused him and I told him why.
00:15:54Did you?
00:15:55Quite frankly.
00:15:55Did you?
00:15:56I told him I must have a man who tries.
00:15:58As he is now, I would sooner marry a bricklayer.
00:16:01He does lay bricks.
00:16:02And he may build a cathedral.
00:16:04Don't be hard on defense.
00:16:06Go along and tell him you're sorry.
00:16:07Very good advice, Mr. Disraeli, which I'm not going to follow.
00:16:17A telegram phone.
00:16:21All right.
00:16:22A telegram.
00:16:43A telegram.
00:16:44Personally, I can't endure these disringings.
00:16:51But Clarissa would come.
00:16:53Well, I can't stand the fellow's confounded assurance.
00:16:57Ah, pardon me.
00:16:58Sir Michael, will you come into the library a moment?
00:17:01There's a little matter on which I particularly want your advice.
00:17:04Oh, very well.
00:17:06You'll excuse me.
00:17:08And Mrs. Travers, Duke, I'm sure you'll forgive me
00:17:12for taking Sir Michael away.
00:17:29Sit down, Sir Michael. Sit down.
00:17:38I've just had private information.
00:17:40But Ishmael Pasha is in desperate need of money.
00:17:44As you know, he holds the controlling shares of the Suez Canal.
00:17:48Robert, this is an unparalleled opportunity for England.
00:17:52Opportunity for England? You don't mean that in earnest.
00:17:55Pardon me in dead earnest.
00:17:58Do you seriously mean that you're thinking of purchasing the Suez Canal for England?
00:18:02I have seldom meant anything half so seriously.
00:18:05And you are about to suggest to me that the Bank of England should back you?
00:18:08I am.
00:18:09Until Parliament meets again.
00:18:11Then let me tell you, Sir, at once, I shall never consent. Never, Sir.
00:18:14Wait a moment.
00:18:15No, Sir, there's nothing to wait for.
00:18:17I'll not allow the bank to play ducks and breaks with its money on an Egyptian ditch.
00:18:22An Egyptian ditch? That's rather neat.
00:18:25There won't be ducks and breaks because the government will be at your back.
00:18:28How do I know that?
00:18:29I say so.
00:18:30Suppose the government falls?
00:18:32The dear man is always falling.
00:18:34What difference does that make?
00:18:36Don't the Conservatives invariably go on just for the radicals left off and vice versa?
00:18:41Besides, in this case it hasn't time to fall.
00:18:44This thing must be done within the next three weeks, long before Parliament meets.
00:18:49But why is such a hurry?
00:18:51Because Russia...
00:18:52Oh, that ancient bugbear.
00:18:54That ever-present peril knows of this opportunity to purchase the high road to India.
00:18:59Why hasn't she purchased it?
00:19:00She's not ready.
00:19:01She has no fleet.
00:19:03But she's watching us.
00:19:05She's watching me.
00:19:06The spy mania.
00:19:08And if she sees the slightest move on my part, she'll snap up the canal.
00:19:12Fleet or no fleet.
00:19:14A pretty moon, Mrs. Travers.
00:19:19Yes.
00:19:22Such pretty ears.
00:19:26Yes, sir.
00:19:45After that delightful interlude...
00:19:47No, sir.
00:19:48Your scheme is harebrained.
00:19:49Unconstitutional.
00:19:50And the bank will be no party to it.
00:19:52I tell you there is no...
00:19:53You exaggerate the importance of the thing.
00:19:56You have the eastern imagination.
00:19:58Because this canal runs through a desert, you see it in a dream.
00:20:02In a mirage.
00:20:04Meet again.
00:20:05The canal is a confessed failure.
00:20:07Oh.
00:20:08Whatever doesn't pay is a failure.
00:20:10The tonnage that passed through it last year...
00:20:12Oh, please.
00:20:13And it's filling up, sir.
00:20:15Filling up.
00:20:16Soon the only ship sailing on it will be the, uh, the ship of the desert.
00:20:22I mean the camel, sir.
00:20:24Yes, I thought you meant the camel.
00:20:26Beware of the east.
00:20:28Remember Pharaoh, sir.
00:20:29Remember Pharaoh.
00:20:30Yes, but what about Moses?
00:20:33He was a Jew.
00:20:34That is, uh, he was privileged.
00:20:37In short...
00:20:38In short, I disapprove of your imperialistic ideas, Mr. Disraeli.
00:20:43And the bank will not stir a finger to father them.
00:20:48Why are you, uh...
00:20:53I feared you were getting too warm.
00:20:56Ah.
00:20:57I rejoice to think that I have made this rash enterprise impossible.
00:21:01Oh, but you haven't.
00:21:04Where would you go for the money?
00:21:07Where Pharaoh went.
00:21:10Where all Christians go.
00:21:12I shall go to Moses.
00:21:14At any rate, understand it will be no use coming to me.
00:21:18This, sir, is definite and final.
00:21:25Nothing is final, Sir Michael.
00:21:27In the unlikely event of Moses failing me,
00:21:30I may send for you again.
00:21:32And I shall not come, sir.
00:21:41I think you will.
00:21:48Hazy, what are you and Sir Michael talking about?
00:21:50Lady Probst did a dreadful way.
00:21:52She's missed her husband.
00:21:53Has she?
00:21:54He's missed his opportunity.
00:21:55Come, dear.
00:21:56Everybody will wonder what's become of you.
00:21:58Alright, my dear.
00:21:59I must get hold of Hugh Myers.
00:22:00Hugh Myers the banker.
00:22:01Hugh Myers the banker.
00:22:02Hugh Myers the banker.
00:22:03That's the man Mary.
00:22:04He missed his opportunity.
00:22:06Come dear, everybody will wonder what's become of you.
00:22:10All right, my dear.
00:22:12I must get hold of Hugh Myers.
00:22:14Hugh Myers, the banker?
00:22:16Hugh Myers, the banker.
00:22:17That's the man, Mary.
00:22:19That's the man.
00:22:21You'd very kindly send that telegraph.
00:22:26Dizzy, you're not worrying about money.
00:22:28No, no, no, my dear.
00:22:30Trobert and I were just talking politics.
00:22:34You know, I told you something might happen to him.
00:22:36Yes.
00:22:37Well, it has happened.
00:22:39He has asked Clarissa to marry him.
00:22:41That will be a good match, I suppose.
00:22:43Yes, but she's refused.
00:22:44Oh.
00:22:45Mary, I'm going to play fairy godfather and bring them together.
00:22:48You a matchmaker.
00:22:49The prime minister neglecting his work.
00:22:51The less the prime minister does,
00:22:53the fewer mistakes he has to make.
00:22:55That's rather good.
00:22:57I'm going to say that it's not fair enough.
00:22:59It's not fair enough.
00:23:00It's not fair enough.
00:23:01It's not fair enough.
00:23:03I'm sailor to Gladstone one night in the house.
00:23:07I've been searching for a young man.
00:23:09With such a priceless Clarissa,
00:23:11Charles may become just what I need.
00:23:13And think what a splendid couple they'd make.
00:23:16Ah, Dizzy.
00:23:17Always dreaming a romance.
00:23:19And living one, my dear,
00:23:21while you are by me side.
00:23:33Is that Dizzy?
00:23:35Yes.
00:23:36Run along, my dear.
00:23:37He's eager to speak to me.
00:23:39I think he wants to kill me.
00:23:41Oh.
00:23:46Mr. Disraeli.
00:23:47I know that tone of voice so well.
00:23:49What do you mean, sir?
00:23:50What do you mean, sir?
00:23:51It's the tone of an angry man.
00:23:52Now, what can I put you out?
00:23:54Blur and speak.
00:23:55Interruptions are annoying.
00:23:57If they hadn't interrupted me the first time I addressed the House of Commons,
00:24:00I might have become a vestureman.
00:24:02Unrespectable.
00:24:03Really, Mr. Disraeli.
00:24:04You make it difficult to talk to you seriously.
00:24:06You never talk seriously.
00:24:07Keep your grave face for your jokes.
00:24:09I, uh, never make jokes.
00:24:11Ah.
00:24:12A man who never makes jokes is a standing joke to the world.
00:24:16Humor is of several kinds.
00:24:18We Oxford men have a humor of our own.
00:24:20I know.
00:24:21An unconscious humor.
00:24:23Mr. Disraeli.
00:24:25Clarissa has refused me.
00:24:27Yes.
00:24:28And I, sir?
00:24:29I attribute her refusal to your influence.
00:24:32I see.
00:24:34I was thoroughly justified in thinking well of you.
00:24:37What do you mean?
00:24:38You have courage.
00:24:39Oh, you would never say that to me.
00:24:41Well, why should I not say it?
00:24:42Because it's true.
00:24:43And when a very young man speaks an unpleasant truth to a very old one,
00:24:47he shows absolutely reckless courage.
00:24:49There was no other way.
00:24:51A hundred.
00:24:52You take a girl's no as final?
00:24:54I suppose she knows her own mind.
00:24:56Certainly.
00:24:57It'll make her change it.
00:24:58How?
00:25:02I'm glad you're asking me to help you.
00:25:03Because I'm interested in you.
00:25:06Interested in me?
00:25:07Deeply.
00:25:08Why?
00:25:09Because England stands in terrible need of men like you.
00:25:13I can't see that.
00:25:15England was never so prosperous as now.
00:25:18She has a wise aristocracy.
00:25:20An industrious middle class, a contented and happy peasantry.
00:25:24Bravo!
00:25:25Bravo!
00:25:26How many old Tory squires have I heard talk just like that?
00:25:31And that's how they talked since the beginning of things.
00:25:34That's how they talked when we lost America.
00:25:36When the Indian mutiny burst upon us.
00:25:38When our soldiers froze and starved in the Crimea.
00:25:41When we deserted Denmark.
00:25:43And when we remained idle while France and Germany threw at each other's throats.
00:25:48And just that talk that has lost us all our friendships.
00:25:52Oh!
00:25:53Continental friendships.
00:25:55Frog eaters.
00:25:56Beer swillers.
00:25:58Is that how you talk too, Clarissa?
00:26:00I do not discuss politics with women.
00:26:03I do.
00:26:08Think men, think.
00:26:09England is as isolated as a ship lying off the coast.
00:26:14Our crew know nothing of what they call the landlubbers.
00:26:18They go on shore now and then for a debauch.
00:26:21But as they only hunt out the vice, they come back with a headache.
00:26:24And righteously thank God they are not as other men.
00:26:27I tell you, our farm is at work all over the world.
00:26:31Titanic forces are unchained in America.
00:26:33Forces you have no conception of.
00:26:35The spirit of nationality is aroused in France.
00:26:38In Italy.
00:26:39In Germany.
00:26:40New wine has been poured into old bottles.
00:26:43And an explosion must follow sooner or later.
00:26:46I shall not live to see it.
00:26:48But I hear the seething of the yeast.
00:26:51But you, my God, what things you will witness.
00:26:55Take care, you are not asleep.
00:26:58All the nations must expand.
00:27:01And everywhere, our empire is in their way.
00:27:04Russia, for instance.
00:27:05Now, while England stands alone.
00:27:08While France is crippled.
00:27:09And before Germany has recovered.
00:27:11Now is Russia's opportunity to snatch at India.
00:27:14With India lost, the whole fabric crumbles.
00:27:18And England sinks into insignificance.
00:27:21A Belgium at sea.
00:27:24Now do you see why Clarissa's refuge?
00:27:27These are the things I've shown her.
00:27:29You wonder she wants a man of action.
00:27:31You wonder she's not content with being a mere Duke's wife.
00:27:35I see.
00:27:37But what can I do?
00:27:41What can any one man do?
00:27:43What one man has already done.
00:27:46You, sir.
00:27:48But how can I help to emulate you?
00:27:50You can learn.
00:27:51Will you learn?
00:27:52Will you teach me, sir?
00:27:53Yes.
00:27:54How can I begin?
00:27:55Leave your small ideals.
00:27:57Or better still, grow from small ideals to greater.
00:28:00You have begun well.
00:28:02You're putting your house in order.
00:28:04Now pass on.
00:28:05Us and the parish to the Empire.
00:28:08The parish?
00:28:09How small it seems.
00:28:10And everything I've done in politics, how utterly insignificant.
00:28:14In politics, nothing is insignificant.
00:28:16Contrast it with this question of India.
00:28:18Whether we hold it or lose it.
00:28:20Yes.
00:28:21What's the solution?
00:28:22War?
00:28:23War is never a solution.
00:28:24It's an aggravation.
00:28:26What then is the solution?
00:28:27A very small thing.
00:28:29A thing men are laughing at.
00:28:31What's a what?
00:28:32A ditch.
00:28:34A ditch dug in sand.
00:28:38A ditch?
00:28:39A ditch dug in shifting sand.
00:28:44You mean that...
00:28:46I mean that a ditch dug in sand grows the very best celery.
00:28:52Ah, Mrs. Truller.
00:28:55We were just in the thick of most interesting horticultural argument.
00:28:59Really?
00:29:00Yes.
00:29:01Mary.
00:29:02Yes, dear?
00:29:03Now, Deferd has done me the honor of accepting a secretaryship.
00:29:07What?
00:29:08What?
00:29:09Lord Beaver's working.
00:29:10Clearly, sir, isn't that unexpected?
00:29:12Not altogether.
00:29:13And how he'll have to work.
00:29:16You'll have so much to teach him.
00:29:18Mr. Disraeli has already begun.
00:29:20Yes.
00:29:21I've been teaching him what it took me many years to learn.
00:29:25What is that?
00:29:26A dear lady, that a ditch dug in sand grows the very best celery.
00:29:32Dizzy, what do you mean?
00:29:34Celery?
00:29:35Hello.
00:29:36Hello.
00:29:37Hi, Robin.
00:29:38Morning, Mr. Disraeli.
00:29:39Morning, Williamson.
00:29:40Morning, sir.
00:29:41Oh.
00:29:42Good morning, Mr. Disraeli.
00:29:43Morning, Williamson.
00:29:44Morning, sir.
00:29:45Oh.
00:29:46Good morning, Mr. Falger.
00:29:47Good morning.
00:29:48You can tell me, Mr. Falger, I was waiting.
00:29:49He was not here, sir.
00:29:50Oh.
00:29:51Good morning, Mr. Falger.
00:29:52Good morning.
00:29:53You can tell me, Mr. Falger, I was waiting.
00:29:54He was not here, sir.
00:29:55Ah.
00:29:56These are ready for delivery, sir.
00:29:57Thank you, sir.
00:30:01Dispatch is from Russia.
00:30:02You can tell me, Mr. Falger, I was waiting.
00:30:07You're welcome.
00:30:08And you're welcome.
00:30:09The captain is coming.
00:30:10I'm a man.
00:30:11You're welcome.
00:30:12I'm a man.
00:30:13I'm a man.
00:30:14You're welcome and now, Mr. Walger.
00:30:15As I say, I'm a man.
00:30:16I'm a man.
00:30:17I'm a man.
00:30:18I'm a man.
00:30:19I'm a man.
00:30:20I'll go.
00:30:21I'm a man.
00:30:22Mr. Incredible.
00:30:27Well, you might look over these figures, will you?
00:30:32And have those delivered for me.
00:30:37Is there anything else, sir?
00:30:40Nothing else, Mr. Falzian.
00:30:46Mr. Falzian!
00:30:47You have the figures about the fortification?
00:30:55Yes, sir.
00:31:03Those are the dispatches from Russia, aren't they?
00:31:07I beg your pardon, sir.
00:31:09Quite a natural mistake.
00:31:11Mr. Hugh Myers, sir.
00:31:13Ah!
00:31:15Mr. Myers!
00:31:16How do you do?
00:31:20Well?
00:31:21The money is on its way.
00:31:23From?
00:31:24The Argentine.
00:31:25One little rack.
00:31:26In three weeks.
00:31:27Good.
00:31:28To be placed at my disposal in the Bank of England.
00:31:30The Bank of England?
00:31:31That's rather humorous.
00:31:33Why?
00:31:34I was thinking of probes.
00:31:35Oh.
00:31:38A defense.
00:31:42This is Mr. Hugh Myers.
00:31:44One of the world's greatest powers.
00:31:47We have to raise money, you know, for the fortifications of the Gulf of Aden.
00:31:51Oh, I hoped it was something much more romantic than that, sir.
00:31:55Oh, what?
00:31:57The Stewart Canal.
00:32:00Oh, did you?
00:32:06You're quite right.
00:32:08It is the Stewart Canal.
00:32:10Since you've hit on the truth, it's better that I should tell you that until I am ready, not a syllable must be breathed on this matter.
00:32:17Is that clear?
00:32:18On my honor, sir.
00:32:20Good.
00:32:22Will you come into my room, Mr. Myers?
00:32:27Excuse me, sir.
00:32:29I forgot to give you your list of engagements.
00:32:31Oh, thank you, Mr. Falger.
00:32:33Uh, Mr. Myers.
00:32:35This is Mr. Falger.
00:32:37Such a worker.
00:32:39Let me see.
00:32:40What was the exact amount required for the fortifications of the Gulf of Aden?
00:32:45You have the papers, you know, the blue one.
00:32:47I'll find out, sir.
00:32:49Come, Mr. Myers.
00:32:50Do you know why Mr. Myers is here?
00:32:52I'm very busy.
00:32:54He's not here for any fortification scheme.
00:32:57He's here for the Suez Canal.
00:32:59Lady Cliris of Heavensy and Mrs. Travers are here.
00:33:03Here's an invasion.
00:33:04Delighting.
00:33:05Mrs. Travers and I were dying to see how you looked in the throes of toil.
00:33:08Oh, well, it hasn't undermined my constitution yet.
00:33:11We expected to find you with a wet towel around your head.
00:33:14Oh, no.
00:33:15So far, I've done nothing but look on.
00:33:17It's a wonderful opportunity for you.
00:33:19That would be a bombsharp appropriate.
00:33:20I am delighted.
00:33:22Well, well, well, well, well.
00:33:24Well, well, well.
00:33:26I've done nothing but look on.
00:33:28It's a wonderful opportunity for you.
00:33:30That would be a bombsharp appropriate.
00:33:31I am delighted.
00:33:33Well, well, well.
00:33:35Well, well.
00:33:36Well, well, well.
00:33:39Come to see the neophyte, eh?
00:33:41Ah.
00:33:42Mrs. Travers.
00:33:44You know, I half expected this visit.
00:33:47Allow me.
00:33:48Mr. Hugh Miles, Lady Clarissa Pevensey, Mrs. Travers.
00:33:53How do you do?
00:33:55Dear ladies, you'll excuse me.
00:33:59Was this a momentous interview?
00:34:02I really cannot tell you.
00:34:04Ah, that means that it was.
00:34:06How exciting to be in all the space secrets.
00:34:09But I'm not.
00:34:10I am only an apprentice.
00:34:12How humbly you speak of yourself.
00:34:16I know now, but I know nothing.
00:34:19That's a great stride towards your goal, isn't it?
00:34:22Is it?
00:34:23I think so.
00:34:24I think so.
00:34:30May we?
00:34:32Please do.
00:34:34But let an old woman rest her weary bones.
00:34:36Agapot.
00:34:38Myles?
00:34:40Yes.
00:34:42About the canal?
00:34:44Yes.
00:34:45And she's in the middle of her weary bones.
00:34:46Agatha.
00:35:04Miles?
00:35:05Yes.
00:35:05About the canal?
00:35:06Yes.
00:35:07They're agreed.
00:35:08How do you know?
00:35:09Both radiant.
00:35:10Then?
00:35:11Cairo.
00:35:12Start now.
00:35:13Yes, but I...
00:35:13Now.
00:35:14Instructions.
00:35:15At Trieste.
00:35:16Trieste.
00:35:18How?
00:35:18By way of off 10.
00:35:20Off 10.
00:35:23Hello, Mrs. Travers.
00:35:27Oh, Mr. Fauger.
00:35:29Here are the papers.
00:35:30Giving the figures you asked for, sir.
00:35:32Oh, thank you.
00:35:33The blue one and the white one.
00:35:36Blue and white.
00:35:38That's cute.
00:35:41Mrs. Travers, this is Mr. Fauger.
00:35:44Such a worker.
00:35:45Now, how's your poor husband?
00:35:48No better, I fear.
00:35:49Still abroad.
00:35:51Taking the waters, you know.
00:35:53Will you kindly make my excuses to the young people?
00:35:56They're up there.
00:35:57You're not going.
00:35:58So abruptly.
00:35:59I'm sorry.
00:36:00But dear Lady Plobert is organizing a bazaar.
00:36:02Always occupied in good work.
00:36:05Always with your hand in some great undertaking.
00:36:09In secret, too.
00:36:10Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:12Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:14No, not a step.
00:36:16Not a step.
00:36:17Goodbye.
00:36:18Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:29I'll stand.
00:36:30I'll stand.
00:36:33I'll stand.
00:36:34Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:35Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:36Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:37Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:38Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:39Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:40Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:41Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:42Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:43Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:44Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:45Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:46Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:47Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:48Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:49Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:50Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:51Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:52Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:53Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:54Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:55Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:56Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:57Goodbye, Mrs. Travers.
00:36:58I beg your pardon, sir.
00:37:21I thought you called.
00:37:28Charles!
00:37:30Charles!
00:37:31Very sorry, sir.
00:37:32Did you tell you I'd make any comment about Myers' visit?
00:37:35Yes.
00:37:36I thought him rather impertinent.
00:37:37Oh, how?
00:37:38Shall I go?
00:37:39No, no, my dear.
00:37:40Well...
00:37:41He asked questions.
00:37:42Yes?
00:37:43But I snubbed him.
00:37:44Finally, he had the impertinence to say that you were seeing Myers about...
00:37:47Well?
00:37:48Am I to speak in Lady Clarissa's room?
00:37:50No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:37:57Yes, yes.
00:37:58Go on.
00:37:59About the Suez Canal.
00:38:00And what did you say?
00:38:01Not a word, of course.
00:38:04Oh.
00:38:07How did you snub him?
00:38:09I merely stood up and looked at him.
00:38:12Oh.
00:38:14What, sir?
00:38:15What more could you have told him that you've talked for an hour?
00:38:18Do you accuse me of speaking?
00:38:19No, sir.
00:38:20I accuse you of holding your tongue too eloquently.
00:38:22Oh, well, easily, my sir.
00:38:23Oh.
00:38:24If you want his parole, I'll fetch you.
00:38:25Yes, fetch him.
00:38:26Miss Terrell.
00:38:27Miss Terrell.
00:38:28Yes, sir.
00:38:29Send for the Senior Queen's messenger immediately.
00:38:31Yes, sir.
00:38:34Well?
00:38:35He's not there.
00:38:36He's not in his room, sir.
00:38:37No.
00:38:38Sir, tell you where he is.
00:38:39He's at Victoria Station.
00:38:40Catching the 1030 Express.
00:38:41On his way to our stand, to Est, and so to Cairo.
00:38:43For God's sake, sir, who is he?
00:38:45He's Mrs. Travers' husband.
00:38:46What?
00:38:47Yes.
00:38:48He and she are agents, spies.
00:38:49Russia has sent here to discover what you have told them.
00:38:51Have him arrested?
00:38:52How?
00:38:53What's he done?
00:38:54Sir, why did you employ him knowing he was a spy?
00:38:56Because I knew it.
00:38:57Because I wanted to have a man in my eye.
00:38:58For weeks, he's been secretly entering this room.
00:39:00I knew it.
00:39:01I've planted papers and letters for him to read.
00:39:03I had him on the wrong scent when you...
00:39:05When I blundered.
00:39:06When you lost control of your features.
00:39:08Will you tell us why silence is so important?
00:39:10Oh.
00:39:11Now it's of no importance whatever.
00:39:13Yes.
00:39:14You often know.
00:39:15So that in future...
00:39:16Future!
00:39:17What future is there for me?
00:39:18In future you may learn to control your features as well as your tongue.
00:39:20Sit down.
00:39:21Ishmael Bashar, the native of Egypt, is under the impression that he ramesses the great.
00:39:25That the only pyramid he has raised is the pyramid of death.
00:39:42Egypt is a dry bone out of which he has sucked the last ounce of marrow.
00:39:47The last assets he has are the controlling shares in the Suez Canal.
00:39:52These he is dying to sell to the highest bidder.
00:39:55France built the canal which is too far to buy it.
00:39:57Russia covers it as a means of snatching India.
00:40:00England as a means of defending it.
00:40:02Both pretend the purchase is the last thing in the world they are thinking of.
00:40:07Both are watching each other like cats.
00:40:10And Ishmael sits and waits for the cat to jump.
00:40:14Those shares I mean to have.
00:40:17Ah!
00:40:18The Bank of England refuses to back me.
00:40:20But today Miles has given me a blank check and I thought the thing was done.
00:40:23But now Pajam knows.
00:40:24Russia knows.
00:40:25In a week Pajam will be in Cairo and whatever Sam may offer he will double.
00:40:29Now do you see the importance of it?
00:40:31Is there no remedy?
00:40:34Of course there is.
00:40:36What the what?
00:40:37I'm going to send a man to Keely with unlimited powers.
00:40:40Ready to output anything.
00:40:42Ready to pound the nail.
00:40:44What must be the man's qualifications?
00:40:46Strong and stern and silent man.
00:40:49Subtle and cunning.
00:40:51Fighting wiliness with wiliness.
00:40:52Have you such a man sir?
00:40:53I've sent to him.
00:40:55What's the matter Clarissa?
00:40:57What is it my dear?
00:40:59Oh I hope for a minute.
00:41:01While you were speaking.
00:41:03But perhaps Charles might.
00:41:05Oh don't say it.
00:41:06Clarissa don't say it.
00:41:07Yes.
00:41:08Do say it Clarissa.
00:41:10Do say it.
00:41:11For there's another kind of man who might be twice as useful.
00:41:14What kind?
00:41:15A man so honest that the rogues would think him a rogue.
00:41:18So truthful they'd swear he was lying.
00:41:20So simple they'd never fathom him.
00:41:22Why laugh at me sir?
00:41:23I feel my folly bitterly enough.
00:41:24What's the matter Charles?
00:41:25Disgust.
00:41:26Not a disgust at myself and despair.
00:41:28Why despair?
00:41:29Queen's messenger.
00:41:30Not wanted.
00:41:31You are the man.
00:41:32I...
00:41:33I to be trusted with this mission after what I've done?
00:41:36Why not?
00:41:37Because I'm a useless conceited either and a perfect complete fool.
00:41:40Well granting that.
00:41:41What?
00:41:42I didn't say it.
00:41:43But granting that.
00:41:44That's a very good reason for sending you.
00:41:45But I've failed already.
00:41:46Nearly all my successes are founded on previous failures.
00:41:48On your own showing no one will suspect you.
00:41:50You're going to meet all their cunning with that stolid British fate of yours.
00:41:55And the schemes will be disarmed.
00:41:56Come will you go?
00:41:57Will I go?
00:41:58Ah!
00:41:59You're a man who asked him for it sir.
00:42:02I warn you.
00:42:03There will be grave danger.
00:42:05You ready to meet it?
00:42:07Yes sir.
00:42:08I mean danger of death.
00:42:11Yes sir.
00:42:12Death?
00:42:13Every step of the way.
00:42:16Every hour of the day.
00:42:18Danger lurking in every disguise.
00:42:20When one sees in Egypt.
00:42:22If his errand be known.
00:42:23His life will not be worth a moment's purchase.
00:42:25Oh I didn't know.
00:42:27I didn't know.
00:42:28You see my child.
00:42:30Do you forbid him to go?
00:42:31I.
00:42:32I cannot forbid.
00:42:33Oh yes you can.
00:42:34He shall obey you.
00:42:35But think a moment.
00:42:36If you forbid.
00:42:37And he obeys.
00:42:38And I send that other man.
00:42:39How will you feel?
00:42:40Clarissa.
00:42:41You must go.
00:42:42Well done.
00:42:43I think I may tell you may enough.
00:42:45That a great reward is awaiting his return.
00:42:46If I succeed.
00:42:47Whether you succeed or fail.
00:42:48Eh?
00:42:49Good.
00:42:50Now then.
00:42:51When can you be ready to start?
00:42:52I think I could start today after the motto.
00:42:54Capital.
00:42:55That will make the enterprise so much more interesting.
00:42:56How do you mean sir?
00:42:57Well far jam will have 48 hours start with Ishmael.
00:42:58You mean I should be too late?
00:42:59I am trying to convey that impression.
00:43:00Well tomorrow then if it must be.
00:43:01Ah that's better.
00:43:02Although hard jam can do but a great deal in a day.
00:43:03Well there is a nightmare.
00:43:04Tonight is we'll get nine.
00:43:05Now.
00:43:06Now?
00:43:07Now you know what must be amazing.
00:43:08We'll get those and make your damn job magnification.
00:43:10Come up here.
00:43:12Ann.
00:43:13Well.
00:43:14Yes sir sir.
00:43:15Let tentative.

00:43:24O-o-o-o-o.
00:43:25You over here that, Doctor.
00:43:26I try to somehow turn that bullet to suppose.

00:43:33But my luggage, you shan't even have a clean collar.
00:43:35Damn you, Carla.
00:43:36That's the Dover Express delivered from Jane Cross.
00:43:38You'll be in Marseilles tomorrow morning,
00:43:39and in Cairo a day ahead of Fajan.
00:43:41A day ahead!
00:43:42I don't want to do it!
00:43:43Of course you will!
00:43:44Now, children,
00:43:45say goodbye to one another
00:43:47while I write your instructions.
00:44:00Clarissa, did you hear what Mr. Disraelis said just now?
00:44:05The hope he held out of reward?
00:44:07If he had not said it, I should have.
00:44:09The reward will be mine if I succeed.
00:44:11Or if you fail.
00:44:13Oh.
00:44:14Clarissa, do you love me then?
00:44:17I love you.
00:44:21Time's up.

00:45:01Good luck.
00:45:02Well, now then.

00:45:11Oh, you're heartless.

00:45:14How am I to wait?
00:45:15You?
00:45:16You don't love him.
00:45:17No.
00:45:18Then, why did I send him?
00:45:20Listen.
00:45:21I've got an idea.
00:45:22What?
00:45:23Come into the country and feed peacocks.
00:45:24Peacocks?
00:45:25Very noble and intelligent birds, I assure you.
00:45:28He can't.
00:45:37Well, I say they are intelligent birds.
00:45:48Hey, master.
00:45:49Where are we going with that speed?
00:45:51What?
00:45:52Oh, bless my soul.
00:45:54And them dirty boots.
00:45:57Splendid morning's work, eh, putter?
00:45:59Uh, don't blame me if you've caught your death.
00:46:02Caught me death? What do you mean?
00:46:05It is well known you ought to be in your bed.
00:46:08Why?
00:46:09I'm not you.
00:46:11You're sure.
00:46:12Mortal bad you are.
00:46:14Says so in print.
00:46:15Oh?
00:46:16Where?
00:46:17Last night's globe.
00:46:19I read it with me own eyes.
00:46:21A highly respectable sheet.
00:46:23And what does it say?
00:46:25Says Dr. Williams have been seen going in and out here.
00:46:30And that be true, too.
00:46:36For he just drove by and left this bottle of stuff for him.
00:46:40For me?
00:46:41For me?
00:46:42No, no.
00:46:43For Lady Beaconsfield.
00:46:51Very kind of them to be so anxious about me.
00:46:53Dr. Williams has been here twice to see Lady Beaconsfield who had a fainting fit.
00:47:00And that's all.
00:47:02That's all.
00:47:04Oh, them London newspapers.
00:47:10Ah.
00:47:11My coffee.
00:47:14Good morning, Mr. Baskett.
00:47:15Good morning, sir.
00:47:17So, Mr. Staring?
00:47:19I believe so, sir.
00:47:21And Lady Clare, sir?
00:47:23Yes, sir.
00:47:25Good morning, Mr. Disraeli.
00:47:27Good morning, my dear.
00:47:28Any news of Charles?
00:47:29Not yet.
00:47:30Not yet, not yet.
00:47:31It should have come days ago, shouldn't it?
00:47:32Shouldn't it?
00:47:33Are you so deeply in love?
00:47:34Oh, dreadfully.
00:47:35Have you had breakfast?
00:47:36Breakfast?
00:47:37Tell me.
00:47:38How's the secret?
00:47:39About Mrs. Clare?
00:47:40Yes.
00:47:41You heard from her?
00:47:42Not of sound.
00:47:43She's keeping very quiet.
00:47:44I don't like people who keep quiet.
00:47:45She might do a great deal of mischief.
00:47:46So, Lady Beaconsfield has persuaded her to come here today.
00:47:48And she's not here.
00:47:49She's not here.
00:47:50She's not here.
00:47:51She's not here.

00:59:45I can't move secretly.
00:59:47The Prime Minister can't sit down without sending the whole world to God.
00:59:50The papers have said I'm ill.
00:59:51If I ever seen him down in the street now, during the recess when I was supposed to be ill,
00:59:55every newspaper in the world would grow hysterical.
00:59:57It's horrible, Mary.
00:59:59I'm bound hand and foot.
01:00:02Mrs. Travers.
01:00:03What?
01:00:04Mrs. Travers in a station cab, sir.
01:00:05I'll get rid of her.
01:00:06Get rid of her, Mr. Baskett.
01:00:08Ask her to wait.
01:00:08Turn her when I ring.
01:00:09Surely you'll not receive her now.
01:00:10You must keep her here.
01:00:11You must keep her here.
01:00:11Why?
01:00:12She must stay here.
01:00:14We mustn't let her out of our sight.
01:00:15Susie, what is this play, actually?
01:00:33I'm ill.
01:00:35I'm very ill.
01:00:36The newspapers have said I'm ill.
01:00:39She shall see the sickest man she ever saw in her life.
01:00:42Mrs. Travers is here.
01:00:43Shall I send her away?
01:00:44No, no, no.
01:00:47Shana.
01:00:49Hand and foot.
01:00:51But Mrs. Baskett.
01:00:53I'm ill.
01:01:07Very ill.
01:01:10Mrs. Travers.
01:01:11Oh, dear Lady Beckinsfield.
01:01:17I'm so sorry.
01:01:19I heard Mr. Disraeli was ill.
01:01:21I didn't know whether to come or not.
01:01:24I'm sure you can't want to see me.
01:01:26Is that Mrs. Travers, please?
01:01:28Yes, dear.
01:01:29Oh, dear Mrs. Travers, it's so good of you.
01:01:38I'm very weak.
01:01:40Very weak.
01:01:41I'm so sorry.
01:01:43What is the matter?
01:01:45Well, I'm very weak.
01:01:50I'm very glad to see you.
01:01:52You're so bright.
01:01:54You're so young.
01:01:55So, how's your poor husband?
01:01:59Still abroad.
01:02:01In search of health, you know.
01:02:03Very sad.
01:02:05And you've come to see the poor sick man.
01:02:08Isn't it good of her marriage?
01:02:10Yes, dear.
01:02:11But do sit down.
01:02:14There.
01:02:14Where I can see you.
01:02:19Miss Clarissa.
01:02:21More beautiful every day.
01:02:23I saw the dear Duchess, your mother, yesterday.
01:02:26She seems very anxious about Lord Beepard.
01:02:29He's abroad, too, isn't he?
01:02:32Uh, Egypt or somewhere.
01:02:34Yes, he is abroad.
01:02:35Yes, he is in Egypt.
01:02:37I do hope he's not too bencheson.
01:02:41Cairo is such a dreadful place.
01:02:44Those Orientals, you know.
01:02:46One can never trust them.
01:02:47No.
01:02:49So sly.
01:02:50Yes.
01:02:51And defeatful.
01:02:52Ah.
01:02:54Dear sympathetic creature.
01:02:56Isn't she sympathetic, Mary?
01:02:58Yes, dear.
01:02:59But don't be uneasy.
01:03:01We've just heard from Deefa.
01:03:03Yes, sir.
01:03:06Indeed?
01:03:08Mary.
01:03:10Yes, dear.
01:03:11Isn't it time I have my beef tea?
01:03:15You say you have heard?
01:03:19Hmm.
01:03:21Oh, Mrs. Traven.
01:03:23Oh.
01:03:24Oh, from Deefa.
01:03:26Oh, yes.
01:03:28We, uh, we had a telegram.
01:03:29Where is that telegram, Mary?
01:03:35On the table, dear.
01:03:36Help me up, dear.
01:03:45Why, there it is.
01:03:47Under the paperweight.
01:03:49Read it for yourself, Mrs. Traven.
01:03:51Hmm.
01:03:59Heavens, how pale I am.
01:04:06But celery is right to cut.
01:04:08How odd.
01:04:10Yes.
01:04:12Why odd?
01:04:13Well, that anyone should cable all the way from Egypt
01:04:16about celery.
01:04:17Well, you know, he's engaged in a very interesting
01:04:20agricultural experiment.
01:04:23You remember we were discussing that very subject
01:04:25for the garden party.
01:04:26Oh, yes, and what a delightful party that was.
01:04:30And all his purpose.
01:04:32Lord Deefa did eat it.
01:04:33Poor Mr. Disraeli, very ill.
01:04:36Sir Michael Probert out of town.
01:04:37Oh, I beg your pardon?
01:04:40A twinge.
01:04:40Thank you so much.
01:04:41I've been trying to remember his name all day.
01:04:45Probert, of course.
01:04:47Oh!
01:04:50Is that one of the famous Peacock?
01:04:52Yes.
01:04:55Dizzy's very proud of them and of the swarms.
01:04:57I've heard so much about them.
01:04:59May I have a look at them?
01:05:01Yes.
01:05:07He's given them such funny names.
01:05:09She has the code.
01:05:11Don't let her read it.
01:05:11Follow it.
01:05:12Stick to her.
01:05:14I'll show you their houses.
01:05:19Oh, please don't trouble.
01:05:20No problem.
01:05:28Mary.
01:05:30Yes, dear?
01:05:31You know the proper country place.
01:05:33You can drive there in three minutes.
01:05:35I want you to fetch him at once.
01:05:37I'll order the carriage.
01:05:38Wait.
01:05:39Is Mrs. Travers' cab still there?
01:05:42Yes.
01:05:42Well, you can take that.
01:05:44But if he refuses to come.
01:05:46You tell him it's a matter of life and death.
01:05:48But Mrs. Travers.
01:05:49I'll look after her.
01:05:51Mary.
01:05:52Yes, sir.
01:05:53Take Clarissa with you.
01:05:55I want that woman alone.
01:05:59That must be signed.
01:06:10Yes, they are beautiful.
01:06:12And so tame.
01:06:14I'm so glad you like them.
01:06:16Do come and sit down.
01:06:24I really ought to be going.
01:06:26Oh, no.
01:06:28Do sit down.
01:06:29Lady Beaconsfield and Clarissa have to go and meet the specialist.
01:06:33We shall be gone only a very few moments.
01:06:35Come, Clarissa.
01:06:36Specialist.
01:06:41Oh, are you so ill?
01:06:43Yeah.
01:06:44But he'll cure me.
01:06:46He'll cure me.
01:06:47And you shall stay and nest the poor, sick man.
01:06:51I'm dreadfully sorry.
01:06:53Oh, you must stay.
01:06:59Till they come back.
01:07:00But my cab is waiting.
01:07:03No.
01:07:04I sent that away.
01:07:07Really?
01:07:08Oh, don't be angry.
01:07:11What a dainty hand.
01:07:16Such supple fingers.
01:07:19So long and thin.
01:07:23So exquisitely shaped.
01:07:26Oh, please.
01:07:27So quick to grasp things.
01:07:31Unconsidered trifles.
01:07:33Scraps of paper.
01:07:35Oh, just let me go.
01:07:36You're hurting me.
01:07:37In such a hurry to get away from the poor, sick man.
01:07:40To get away and read...
01:07:44the code.
01:07:47Well, thought of it.
01:07:49Ah, that's better.
01:07:52That's how I remember you.
01:07:53Remember me?
01:07:55So strange.
01:07:56When we first met at the Duke of Glastonbury.
01:07:59I remembered you, but I couldn't trace you.
01:08:03I connected you with something blue and white.
01:08:06Milk and water?
01:08:08No.
01:08:09Snow and water.
01:08:11Mont Blanc and the Lake of Geneva.
01:08:14Geneva in the 60s.
01:08:16Russian refugees and their English sympathizers.
01:08:19A man called Lumley and his ravishing, shall I say, wife?
01:08:25No.
01:08:26Comrade.
01:08:27That was the term.
01:08:29Charming relationship.
01:08:30Delightful couple.
01:08:31So good to the unhappy exiles.
01:08:34The people of Cruel.
01:08:35They said the good Mr. Lumley and his charming comrades were agents.
01:08:39decoys in Russian pay, engaged in warming up the secrets of the refugees, in tempting them
01:08:46back to Russia, to Siberia, to death.
01:08:49You pray, what has all this to do with me?
01:08:55Ah, what indeed.
01:08:58With you, the friend of Duke, some banker.
01:09:02Good Mr. Lumley and his charming comrades were driven out of Geneva by the slanderers.
01:09:08And where do you think I saw him next?
01:09:11In Downing Springs.
01:09:13He had changed his name to Folger.
01:09:15I was so sorry for him that I gave him work.
01:09:18But you did more.
01:09:20You gave him instructions.
01:09:26To hurry to Trieste.
01:09:28Now do I know you, dear Mrs. Lumley Traverse Folger?
01:09:34Well, and what next?
01:09:36Admiration.
01:09:41Profound admiration.
01:09:45Until this moment.
01:09:47Today you've disappointed me.
01:09:50Why steal that?
01:09:53Weak.
01:09:54Very weak.
01:09:55You had only to ask me and I would have told you.
01:09:58The celery is ripe to cut.
01:10:00Means the Suez Canal purchase is completed and the check accepted.
01:10:04Why, dear Lumley has had all that tiresome journey for nothing.
01:10:11I congratulate you.
01:10:14Your apple-faced boy has blundered into success.
01:10:16Well, that's all any of us do, Mrs. Traverse.
01:10:19A success that will cost you dear.
01:10:21Ah, that's the sort of thing Gladstone will say.
01:10:24It's what the world will say when it knows that Myers is bankrupt.
01:10:30Who knows what?
01:10:31Myers is bankrupt.
01:10:34Bankrupt.
01:10:35Bankrupt.
01:10:36Mrs. Traverse, I'm very weak.
01:10:38Don't, don't jest with me.
01:10:41Myers is bankrupt.
01:10:42And his check, waste paper.
01:10:45Wait, wait.
01:10:46It's easy for you to tell me this, but why should I believe you?
01:10:50Because it was my invention.
01:10:53You thought to circumvent me with your apple-faced boy.
01:10:56Oh, what you say now, Mr. Desirelli?
01:11:02You can't expect me to say much.
01:11:04I am a child in your hand.
01:11:07Now, Mr. Desirelli, I'm sorry to hear that you are ill.
01:11:18I'm so much better.
01:11:21This is Traverse-stimulating company.
01:11:24Sir Michael Probst.
01:11:25How do you do?
01:11:26But he is not a...
01:11:27A specialist?
01:11:29Oh, yes, he is.
01:11:30Why, what's going on?
01:11:32If you're not ill, why have you sent for me?
01:11:34Probst, sit down.
01:11:35I want to tell you a little story.
01:11:38No, don't go, Mrs. Traverse.
01:11:40This may interest you, too.
01:11:42I repeat, why have you sent for me?
01:11:46I told you I might send for you.
01:11:48When?
01:11:49What do you mean?
01:11:50When we had our last delightful interview.
01:11:52Ah, I thought as much.
01:11:54Your harebrained scheme.
01:11:56Moses has failed you and you had to give it up.
01:11:58Well, it's no use repeating to me.
01:12:00Moses has not failed me, and I've carried the scheme through.
01:12:04What?
01:12:06You mean to tell me that you have purchased the Suez Canal?
01:12:09The power and the glory of my country will at stake.
01:12:12I had to act quickly, and I had to act on my own responsibility.
01:12:15Then let me tell you, sir, you have committed a crime.
01:12:18Parliament is not sitting to vote for money.
01:12:19I had to seek it elsewhere.
01:12:21Five million starry.
01:12:22You refused.
01:12:23I did, and I'm proud of it.
01:12:25So I went to the wealthiest private firm, to Hugh Myers.
01:12:27Ha!
01:12:28A Jew.
01:12:29Myers, not being a party man, but a patriot,
01:12:32saw the greatness of the idea and stood by me.
01:12:34I sent Deeper to Ishmael.
01:12:36Spies got wind of what I was doing, and Russia knew.
01:12:38So Deeper had to go in a hurry, a race for an empire.
01:12:41He had succeeded, understand me?
01:12:43I put the matter quite simply.
01:12:46Deeper has bought the canal and has paid for it
01:12:48with Myers' check drawn on the Bank of England.
01:12:51Wait.
01:12:52Meanwhile, Russia has been at work by the intermediary
01:12:56of one of the most charming women of my acquaintance.
01:13:02Myers is bank of thought?
01:13:04Yes.
01:13:05Russia has ruined it.
01:13:06Mr. Israeli, I warned you of this.
01:13:09I foresaw it.
01:13:10Your high-handed action has landed you just where I said it would.
01:13:13You must get out of it as best you can.
01:13:16It's no use appealing to me.
01:13:18No?
01:13:19Then I will not appeal to you.
01:13:20I will command you.
01:13:22What?
01:13:24You will sign this note giving Myers unlimited credit.
01:13:28Aye, are you mad?
01:13:29I was never more sane in my life.
01:13:31Myers' position is saved if we can gain time.
01:13:33The Bank of England must give him unlimited credit today and now.
01:13:37You don't know what you're saying.
01:13:38You don't know to whom you're speaking.
01:13:40I refuse.
01:13:40You can't.
01:13:41I refuse emphatically.
01:13:43You've mistaken your man.
01:13:44I'm an Englishman, the head of a great national institution.
01:13:48And I am not to be ordered about by a, by an alien, a Jew.
01:13:52The alien, the Jew, happens to be the better citizen.
01:13:55Moreover, he happens to be prime minister.
01:13:57You threaten me?
01:13:58Yes, if you force me to it.
01:13:59Oh, empty threats.
01:14:00You think so?
01:14:01You say the Bank is a national institution.
01:14:03What becomes of that title if it refuses to save the nation?
01:14:06What becomes of you?
01:14:07Mr. Israeli.
01:14:08Well, it is known that the lack of patriotism of one man has placed our country in the position
01:14:11of a person who is trying to pass a fraudulent check, exposed the nation to the ridicule
01:14:15of the world, lost the canal, lost India, baffled England, beat a disgracer, dragged us
01:14:20with a mug.
01:14:21What becomes of the Bank?
01:14:22You can't touch the Bank.
01:14:23I'll smash the Bank.
01:14:26Parliament granted the Bank's charter.
01:14:28Parliament comes right.
01:14:29And showers right in my bidding.
01:14:31Your board of directors will be swept away.
01:14:33Your shadow of the bank's the bank ruined, and you displace.
01:14:37I am prime minister.
01:14:38I can do this.
01:14:40And if you don't sign, by God, I will.
01:14:46Now.
01:14:46Now.
01:14:47Now.
01:14:59Now.
01:15:00I have signed it to save the bank.
01:15:30It's an outrage that a man like you should have such power.
01:16:00Oh, Mr. Disdraining, thank God you have such power.
01:16:26I hadn't, dear child, but he doesn't know that.
01:16:29Oh!
01:16:59She must on no account be disturbed.
01:17:06Let her sleep as long as possible.
01:17:10Yes, sir.
01:17:13Well?
01:17:14We can't tell.
01:17:15I'm very hopeful of the result of this deep sleep, but I can't say anything more present.
01:17:20I can't go.
01:17:21I can't believe I like this.
01:17:23Mr. Disraeli, I can't believe I like this.
01:17:24Mr. Disraeli, I know how you feel, but you must go.
01:17:30I feel bound to remind you that Queen Victoria is going to attend your reception in person.
01:17:37That is an honor she has never before paid to a prime minister.
01:17:39All the court will be there.
01:17:40every country in the world will be there.
01:17:41Every country in the world will be represented, and all to pay homage to you.
01:17:47Mary walked with her.
01:17:48Mary walked with her.
01:17:49You know she always loved people to flatter me.
01:17:50And all England will be at your feet tonight.
01:17:54Mary walked with her.
01:17:55Mary walked with her.
01:17:56I promised her the best.
01:17:57I would love her.
01:17:58But you know she will never before paid to a prime minister.
01:17:59She is never before paid to a prime minister.
01:18:00She is never before paid to a prime minister.
01:18:01All the court will be there.
01:18:02Every country in the world will be represented, and all to pay homage to you.
01:18:04Mary walked with her.
01:18:07You know she always loved people to flatter me.
01:18:13And all England will be at your feet tonight.
01:18:19Mary walked with her.
01:18:22I promised her that we would meet the queen hand in hand.
01:18:31How can I go through it?
01:18:33The glitter.
01:18:34The music.
01:18:35The dancing.
01:18:37And worst of all, the congratulations.
01:18:43Alone.
01:18:44You've always been a fighter, Mr. Disraeli.
01:18:47If it were possible for you to stay, I would advise it.
01:18:50But you cannot break faith with her majesty.
01:18:53The queen would understand and pardon me.
01:18:57But you are right.
01:18:59I cannot break faith with the nation.
01:19:02I must go.
01:19:03If there's any change for the worse, I'll send you a telegram and you can be home in a few hours.
01:19:21Home.
01:19:22Without her, I have no home.
01:19:52When she wakes, I'll give her this from me.
01:20:04I want to give her this from me too.
01:20:10You can press the button.
01:20:13I'll give him the tears.
01:20:16Now.
01:20:17I can do it.
01:20:19I've seen her.
01:20:20Now.
01:20:21I'll give her the tears.
01:20:23I'll give her the tears of my tears.
01:20:25What a day this has been for Dizzy, eh, Belinda?
01:20:37It's all very astonishing.
01:20:39They say the Queen is delighted with her new title, Empress of India.
01:20:42And how did Israeli sway the house when he announced the new title?
01:20:46Even Gladstone was silenced.
01:20:49Dizzy is a great man.
01:20:51Oh, Father, so you've come round to that at last.
01:20:53Well, there's no use denying it now.
01:20:57I never deny it, Mr. Grayson.
01:21:00Well, Miles, on your legs again.
01:21:03Thanks to you, Sir Max.
01:21:04Yes, yes.
01:21:05Great patriotic idea.
01:21:07Dizzy and I talked it over long before you came into it.
01:21:10So he told me.
01:21:11And the bank was a great patriotic institution.
01:21:14Couldn't let it go.
01:21:16How fortunate you saw it in that land.
01:21:18Glad to help you.
01:21:20Glad to help you.
01:21:21Mr. Miles.
01:21:21Ah, Lady Clarissa.
01:21:24The Viscount Deeford has come home.
01:21:25Yes, but think of it.
01:21:26I've not been allowed to see him yet.
01:21:28Too bad.
01:21:29Too bad.
01:21:30Why not?
01:21:31He only arrived half an hour ago.
01:21:33And had to come straight to Downing Street.
01:21:35Naturally.
01:21:37They say Lady Beaconsfield is here.
01:21:39Mr. Miles, I'm dreadfully anxious.
01:21:41Nothing serious, I hope.
01:21:42I don't know.
01:21:43I don't know.
01:21:44And I daren't ask Mr. Disraeli.
01:21:46Their absence tonight is such a horrible disappointment for him.
01:21:49Of course.
01:21:50Of course.
01:21:52Mr. Disraeli.
01:21:53Mr. Disraeli.
01:21:55Mr. Disraeli, come.
01:21:56Let's go.
01:22:17Here, Mr. Desraelis.
01:22:19Lady Provost.
01:22:21Charmed.
01:22:22Charmed.
01:22:26So sorry, dearest Lady Beckerfield, cannot be here tonight.
01:22:31So is she.
01:22:33And so am I.
01:22:35So am I.
01:22:36No doubt only a passing in this position.
01:22:40I trust her.
01:22:45A dear child.
01:22:46How is she, really?
01:22:48Don't ask me.
01:22:50I daren't trust myself to speak.
01:22:53I'm horribly anxious.
01:22:55Dr. William reassured me, for I shouldn't be here now.
01:22:58Not even to meet the Empress of India.
01:23:10Her Majesty is on her way.
01:23:14Before she arrived, I want to thank those men who have so splendidly stood at my side and made our enterprise successful.
01:23:23First, there is my friend, Mr. Hugh Myers.
01:23:28Mr. Myers.
01:23:30Concerning whose services I cannot speak too highly.
01:23:36Next, there is Sir Michael Probert.
01:23:39At a moment of grave crisis, he came to my aid against his, shall I say, prejudices.
01:23:46Mr. Myers, Sir Michael Probert, it is my privilege to inform you that in recognition of your patriotic action, your sovereign has bestowed a peerage upon each of you.
01:23:59My congratulations.
01:24:01May I add mine?
01:24:02Your grace is most kind.
01:24:03Lastly, you will be glad to know that my young friend, who carried through these delicate negotiations with such consummate tact, I refer to Charles Viscount Dieford arrived in London half an hour ago.
01:24:21Viscount Dieford.
01:24:22Ah.
01:24:23Charles.
01:24:24Our Majesty desires to confer the ribbon of the bath upon you with her own hand.
01:24:29Marissa.
01:24:30Charles.
01:24:31My dear.
01:24:32Oh, hang all these people.
01:24:33Why didn't you come earlier?
01:24:34Well, I had to see Dizzy and get into this rig.
01:24:36I'm sorry.
01:24:37I'm sorry.
01:24:38I'm sorry.
01:24:39I'm sorry.
01:24:40I'm sorry.
01:24:41I'm sorry.
01:24:42I'm sorry.
01:24:43I'm sorry.
01:24:44I'm sorry.
01:24:45I'm sorry.
01:24:46I'm sorry.
01:24:47I'm sorry.
01:24:48I'm sorry.
01:24:49Be Dizzy and get into this rig.
01:24:51My dear, Mr. Meyer.
01:24:57I beg your pardon, sir.
01:24:58But this telegram has been waiting.
01:25:12Charles, I'm frightened.
01:25:13What?
01:25:14Lady Beckhamfield has been very ill.
01:25:16You don't mean?
01:25:18Maybe news of her death.
01:25:48Mr. Meyer?
01:25:59I didn't know.
01:26:01But the doctor sent you a telegram, dear.
01:26:06Yes.
01:26:07Mr. Meyer?
