00:00:00Don't break my heart, John.
00:00:03I couldn't stand it if you did.
00:00:06Would it really be so very bad, Daddy, if we struck up together?
00:00:09Leave it well and done, my love. His family will never allow it.
00:00:13Give up my son.
00:00:16I'm dying, Fleur.
00:00:18We could alone.
00:00:21In Scotland, we don't need to be 21, and we don't need parental consent.
00:00:26I want to be with you, Fleur, all of the time.
00:00:28I can't think of anything worse.
00:00:31You're the better half of myself, the missing half.
00:00:34I love her, Mum.
00:00:35I know.
00:00:40Damn, damn, damn, damn.
00:00:42He's 19, and he thinks he's in love.
00:00:44It's her manipulating him!
00:00:47Let's go now, this afternoon.
00:00:49While everyone's watching cricket, we'll be halfway to Scotland before we're missed.
00:00:52Tomorrow morning's soon enough.
00:00:56Dad!
00:00:56I'll do this.
00:00:57Tom, Tom, call the doctor, please!
00:01:01I spake as a child.
00:01:03I understood as a child.
00:01:06My father.
00:01:08You have me, my darling.
00:01:11You have me?
00:01:12She's found this, step by step, and she hasn't cared who's gotten her way.
00:01:16She's not like that!
00:01:17Of course she is!
00:01:18Why do you think that Dad objected to her so much?
00:01:20But if I lose you...
00:01:23Could you?
00:01:24Her son.
00:01:26I don't need to go.
00:01:31Here she does.
00:01:31You
00:01:53Fleur, will you please come? Where have you been?
00:01:57Robin Hill.
00:02:01I'm sorry, Daddy. I had to go.
00:02:03Are you very cross?
00:02:05I thought all that was over.
00:02:07Well, it isn't.
00:02:09Of all things...
00:02:11John and I mean to be together.
00:02:13I've been seeing him.
00:02:15I know you didn't want me to, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
00:02:18He's a darling. I love him, Daddy, and you will too when you meet him.
00:02:22I know you'll come through for me.
00:02:25Like...
00:02:28His mother's been holding on to him, saying horrible things.
00:02:32What sort of things?
00:02:34About you.
00:02:35It's not true, whatever she says.
00:02:38She's a mean woman.
00:02:40She can't care for him, not really, not like you care for me.
00:02:43Talk to her.
00:02:45I can't help you with this, Fleur.
00:02:48It's the one thing that...
00:02:50Tell her that I shall stay yours and John will stay hers.
00:02:54We're not trying to take John away from her.
00:02:56It's preposterous.
00:02:57If you don't want to see each other, we could devise a means.
00:03:00Only you can persuade her, Daddy.
00:03:02And now John's father's dead, it wouldn't be too awkward.
00:03:05Awkward.
00:03:10You don't understand.
00:03:13You wouldn't mind seeing her, really.
00:03:15Would you?
00:03:16I suppose there are some advantages.
00:03:23All the Foresight money would stay together.
00:03:26Exactly.
00:03:27And now the husband's gone.
00:03:29A family thing?
00:03:30She must have had grandchildren.
00:03:32She's alone, after all.
00:03:34Please, Daddy.
00:03:37Please.
00:03:41I could only stir things up.
00:03:43They already are stirred up.
00:03:46You don't care for me.
00:03:50If you do it, John and I will wait.
00:03:52A year, two, if you like.
00:03:55And you and I could go travelling.
00:03:57The grand tour we've always talked of.
00:04:01By rights, I ought to throw you out.
00:04:04Daddy.
00:04:06Stop your allowance.
00:04:07Withhold your capital.
00:04:08Parents do it.
00:04:11Not you.
00:04:16What am I to do if you don't, Daddy?
00:04:22I think I shall die of misery.
00:04:34What am I to do now?
00:04:43I don't deserve it below, because I love you.
00:04:45told me no story.
00:04:46For us to be careful for sin, I 뭐� to do,
00:04:49just put some alcohol in a word.
00:04:52These things seem soplate away,
00:04:53both who are concerned,
00:04:54and the facts are shameful,
00:04:58that we will go away from some events.
00:05:00Mr. Forsyte.
00:05:28Barfield.
00:05:30I'm here to see Mrs. Forsyte.
00:05:40On a very important matter.
00:05:58Beauty and proportion.
00:06:00What are you doing here?
00:06:18Well?
00:06:22I need to talk to you.
00:06:23You're not wearing black.
00:06:35Jillian didn't want it.
00:06:38I apologise for the intrusion, but this business must be settled one way or the other.
00:06:43Won't you sit down?
00:06:44No, thank you.
00:06:50It's an infernal mischance.
00:06:53I've done my best to discourage it, but my daughter is persuasive and I've got into the habit of indulging her.
00:06:58I suppose you are fond of your son.
00:07:06Devotedly.
00:07:09Well?
00:07:13It rests with him.
00:07:15You don't oppose it.
00:07:22It's his decision.
00:07:23Well, I suppose it will happen then, this unnatural marriage.
00:07:38Please tell Mr. John I would like to see him.
00:07:42He is in his father's studio.
00:07:43There'll be formalities.
00:07:52Whom do I deal with?
00:07:54Herrings?
00:07:54Um, yes.
00:08:04The poplars along the drive have grown.
00:08:11I planted them.
00:08:13For you.
00:08:17I remember an evening.
00:08:19Please, stop.
00:08:20Well, if only.
00:08:21They might have been brother and sister, for heaven's sake.
00:08:23That is enough.
00:08:24All I mean to say is that all this might have been saved if only you'd done your duty.
00:08:28Been a wife to me.
00:08:29That's all I wanted.
00:08:30All I ever wanted.
00:08:39I'm unlikely to see you again.
00:08:45Will you shake hands?
00:08:47Let the past die.
00:08:49How can I, after what you have just said?
00:08:51Oh, I'm so cold.
00:08:54Made of stone.
00:08:55Always made of stone!
00:09:00What's going on here?
00:09:03Step away from my mother.
00:09:08I said step away!
00:09:15Well, young man...
00:09:16I'm here for my daughter.
00:09:29It rests with you, it seems.
00:09:30Your mother leaves it in your hat.
00:09:36Get out.
00:09:36I've brought myself to come here, and I'm insulted.
00:09:42I know what you did all those years ago.
00:09:44I did nothing.
00:09:45You abused her!
00:09:46John!
00:09:47If you must know, she left me for another man, a string of other men.
00:09:53Please, stop this.
00:09:56My father said he pitied you.
00:09:58Your father was an adulterer.
00:10:00He took her from me.
00:10:01She was mine!
00:10:02She's not yours!
00:10:03Do you understand?
00:10:04I am not anyone's!
00:10:07John!
00:10:09Let go of him!
00:10:10You're brawling like a cop child!
00:10:18And you...
00:10:21Get out of my house.
00:10:24Get out.
00:10:26Get out.
00:10:30I'm sorry.
00:10:55I don't know what came over me.
00:10:57That family is like a disease.
00:11:02It spreads.
00:11:08I need some air.
00:11:10I need some air.
00:11:25Well?
00:11:28What happened?
00:11:29What happened?
00:11:29You married that boy over my dead body.
00:11:43Over my dead body, do you hear?
00:11:44Dad.
00:11:56Dad?
00:12:01Dad?
00:12:02Dad!
00:12:03Dad!
00:12:03What are you doing here?
00:12:15Don't let them do this to us.
00:12:17Come away with me now.
00:12:20I can't.
00:12:22This doesn't matter.
00:12:24They don't matter.
00:12:25Whatever happened here just now is about the past.
00:12:33No.
00:12:37Don't give up on us, John.
00:12:38Please don't give up.
00:12:46Go home with your father, my dear.
00:12:49Give us all time to think.
00:12:50Don't touch me.
00:12:53I know what you're doing.
00:12:55You're pretending to make yourself look nice.
00:12:58Lying.
00:12:59So you can have him all to yourself.
00:13:01He's mine. Do you understand?
00:13:03He's mine.
00:13:03Is that how you really think?
00:13:08But we're meant for each other.
00:13:11We're meant to be.
00:13:14No.
00:13:17I don't think so.
00:13:23Come on, Mother.
00:13:25It's getting cold.
00:13:26John!
00:13:34John!
00:13:35Just go home, Fleur.
00:13:37Just go home.
00:13:42John!
00:13:46John!
00:13:47John!
00:14:09John!
00:14:10John!
00:14:16John!
00:14:21John!
00:14:29John!
00:14:40Fleur. Come. Come away, my dear.
00:14:57Don't let these people hurt you. They're not worth your little finger.
00:15:01What you must have done all those years ago!
00:15:10John!
00:15:29Here. You're cold.
00:15:32Keep away from me!
00:15:36No way!
00:15:41Thank you, Spade.
00:16:00Fleur.
00:16:01Fleur.
00:16:07Fleur, my love, you should eat.
00:16:13Fleur.
00:16:14Fleur.
00:16:15Fleur.
00:16:16Fleur.
00:16:17Fleur.
00:16:26Fleur.
00:16:27Why don't you call Mrs. Forsyte?
00:16:47How is John?
00:16:51Fleur came last night.
00:16:54It's over.
00:16:55Are you sure about that?
00:16:58Positive.
00:16:59Good thing, too.
00:17:01He's upset.
00:17:02So he should be.
00:17:05Have you two argued?
00:17:07A small matter.
00:17:19Where is she?
00:17:25Fleur?
00:17:37Fleur?
00:17:38Fleur?
00:17:52My petite Fleur, what has happened?
00:17:58Oh, hey!
00:17:58Hey!
00:18:08Hey!
00:18:38Do you remember, when you were a little girl, I used to brush your hair, a hundred strokes.
00:18:55How you hated it.
00:18:59Do you want it up?
00:19:06Or maybe a bow?
00:19:08I don't care.
00:19:12A bow, I think.
00:19:16The more miserable one is on the inside, the more important it is to decorate the outside.
00:19:26It doesn't matter anymore.
00:19:30You feel too much.
00:19:33Like your father.
00:19:35You always have.
00:19:37What does he know?
00:19:44This extraordinary idea that one should marry the person one is in love with.
00:19:51In France, a husband is for convenience.
00:19:56Like love is our for love.
00:20:01What do you think?
00:20:03The new look.
00:20:05It's very chic.
00:20:07Very corlette.
00:20:10I brought you the new book from Paris.
00:20:14I'm getting lines.
00:20:15It's fine.
00:20:16It's fine.
00:20:17You are very beautiful, and no one can take that away from you.
00:20:28Find yourself a good man.
00:20:30A man that won't cause you trouble.
00:20:34Then look elsewhere for your passion.
00:20:36Come in.
00:20:37Mr. Montt's here again.
00:20:38I don't want to see him.
00:20:39He brought these.
00:20:43And these.
00:20:44He's an idiot.
00:20:45And these.
00:20:46He's an idiot.
00:20:47And these.
00:20:48He's an idiot.
00:20:49And these.
00:20:50Oh.
00:20:51Oh.
00:20:52Oh.
00:20:53Oh.
00:20:54Oh.
00:20:55What shall I tell him?
00:20:56What shall I tell him?
00:21:11Can't I tell him?
00:21:12And these.
00:21:24What shall I tell him?
00:21:28Come back tomorrow.
00:21:30He might find me up.
00:21:42You shouldn't invest in stocks. Too high risk. Take out bombs.
00:21:53Bombs are boring.
00:21:54I have bombs.
00:21:56Exactly.
00:21:58So did your father and mine.
00:22:01Foresight's probably invented the concept.
00:22:05Monsieur Puffin, ma'am.
00:22:12Foresight.
00:22:22Prosper.
00:22:25I thought you'd gone.
00:22:31How lovely to see you.
00:22:34Europe is a dull place and I pined for, Green Street.
00:22:38Nonsense.
00:22:39Business brought you back then?
00:22:44A long-term investment.
00:22:50Delighted, old boy.
00:22:54Oh, you're just the thing.
00:22:56I want to park my money and George is no good.
00:23:00Well, if you insist on shares, you should get Soames to handle it for you.
00:23:04Keep it in the family.
00:23:05I've never had the ready in my life.
00:23:08Not about to give it to anyone else to play with.
00:23:10Well said.
00:23:12As far as I can see, investment is just a sophisticated form of gambling.
00:23:16And it's not as if I don't know about that, is it?
00:23:20The American market is where you should start now.
00:23:22Wall Street is in the doldrums at the moment, but it is going to go up.
00:23:26I think I'll go to the club.
00:23:34Oh, dear.
00:23:37Excuse me.
00:23:41Excuse me.

00:37:08ah
00:37:22where's Fleur
00:37:36Who is the boy, sir, with Profund?
00:37:39Boy?
00:37:40Dark, good-looking. Fleur looked like she'd seen a ghost.
00:37:44With Profund, are you sure?
00:37:45If she had a former attachment, I need to know.
00:37:53A silly romance. He trifled with her. He threw her over.
00:37:57Is she over it now?
00:37:58If she wasn't, she wouldn't be marrying you.
00:38:02Annette, my dear.
00:38:06Are you all right?
00:38:16Stupid to feel so faint.
00:38:18The play's about to start again.
00:38:21I thought I saw someone I knew.
00:38:23Well, they're not here now. If you saw them, they've gone.
00:38:28Are you ready to go back in?
00:38:30I'm ready.
00:38:31Good.
00:38:36A flower.
00:38:37I haven't got much time.
00:38:38Shopping with Michael and Mother.
00:38:39Presents for the bridesmaids.
00:38:40Presents for the bridesmaids.
00:38:41So what do you want?
00:38:42I had to see you.
00:38:43I had to see you.
00:38:44No.
00:38:45No.
00:38:46No.
00:38:47No.
00:38:48No.
00:38:49No.
00:38:50No.
00:38:51No.
00:38:52No.
00:38:53No.
00:38:54No.
00:38:55No.
00:38:56No.
00:38:57No.
00:38:58No.
00:38:59No.
00:39:00No.
00:39:01No.
00:39:02No.
00:39:03No.
00:39:04No.
00:39:05No.
00:39:06No.
00:39:07No.
00:39:08No.
00:39:09No.
00:39:10No.
00:39:11No.
00:39:12No.
00:39:13No.
00:39:14No.
00:39:15No.
00:39:16No.
00:39:17No.
00:39:18No.
00:39:19No.
00:39:20No.
00:39:21No.
00:39:22No.
00:39:23No.
00:39:24No.
00:39:25No.
00:39:26No.
00:39:27No.
00:39:28No.
00:39:29No.
00:39:30No.
00:39:31No.
00:39:32No.
00:39:33I can't stand my father.
00:39:38Michael's nice. He'll look after me.
00:39:41Nice.
00:39:42Well?
00:39:43Nice isn't enough.
00:39:46A marriage for convenience is terrible.
00:39:49What are my alternatives?
00:39:52No, I still love you.
00:39:54How can I know that?
00:39:56I think about you every moment of every day.
00:39:59Is that why you're here?
00:40:03You're ruining too many people's lives.
00:40:16My mother's your father's.
00:40:18Not this again.
00:40:19We cannot exist in a bubble flower.
00:40:21We can't exist for other people.
00:40:25You see?
00:40:26We think differently.
00:40:34No, John.
00:40:35Not really.
00:40:37I might be selfish, but at least I'm honest.
00:40:41None of this matters. It's all excuses.
00:40:44The truth is, they poisoned you against me.
00:40:47Your mother, your family...
00:40:49They made you doubt me.
00:40:55I can see it now in the way you look at me.
00:40:58Does she really like her father a grasping, greedy foresight?
00:41:01No, I don't think like that.
00:41:05But you don't want me back.
00:41:08You brought me here today to make sure I don't belong to someone else.
00:41:11And what's that if not possession?
00:41:16Possession of the lowest sword.
00:41:21I'm so sorry.
00:41:23No, I am.
00:41:25I love you, John.
00:41:27So much it hurts.
00:41:36Please don't go.
00:41:37There's nothing to stay for.
00:41:39We've hardly talked.
00:41:39Don't try and see me again.
00:41:41You can't marry him!
00:41:44You can't.
00:41:45And who are you to tell me that?
00:41:48If you won't have me, then I shall do it my own way.
00:41:52And I'll forget about you, John Forsyte.
00:41:53I swear I will.
00:42:04Ah, that's it.
00:42:06Hmm.
00:42:09Who was that?
00:42:12An old friend, I believe.
00:42:15You knew she was meeting this boy?
00:42:18I had an inkling.
00:42:20You English men.
00:42:21I don't understand.
00:42:23Absurd codes of honour.
00:42:24These things have to be cleared up.
00:42:27And what if you've lost her?
00:42:28Then I never heard her.
00:42:33Are you all right, my dear?
00:42:35You look cold.
00:42:37Maybe a little.
00:42:42But I'm all right, Mother.
00:42:45Fact.
00:42:47I've never been better.
00:42:48Thank you so much for coming.
00:43:13Thank you so much for coming.
00:43:13John.
00:43:14I didn't know you were in London.
00:43:29They were so calm, weren't they?
00:43:31His pictures.
00:43:36Looking at them, it's like his hair.
00:43:37You've hung them thematically.
00:43:43Let me show you.
00:43:45I've decided I'm going to New York.
00:43:49Can I take a picture, please?
00:43:50A drawing?
00:43:52Of course.
00:43:53Anything that you like.
00:43:59Another time.
00:44:00John, why New York?
00:44:01I thought you hated cities.
00:44:06Or is she going out there and you're tagging along?
00:44:15I'm sorry I didn't...
00:44:17I've been so cross and miserable.
00:44:23She's marrying someone else.
00:44:31Oh, John.
00:44:34It's not her fault.
00:44:36It's me.
00:44:38I've been loathsome.
00:44:41Ever since Dad died, I can't think straight.
00:44:44One moment, I want Fleur the next.
00:44:46I...
00:44:46I don't recognise myself.
00:44:52You've been caught by the past, my love.
00:44:56All that pain and anger.
00:44:58I found this in an old portfolio.
00:45:12It's Mum.
00:45:16He was a man.
00:45:19He was her lover.
00:45:21The person who gave her the strength to leave Fleur's father.
00:45:27He was also my fiancé.
00:45:28There are a great deal of things in my life that I'm proud of.
00:45:36This gallery, for one.
00:45:38The best thing, the most important thing,
00:45:41is that Irene and I found a way to put the past behind us.
00:45:45You can do that too, John.
00:45:48But nothing means anything, honey.
00:45:50It will.
00:45:52It will, believe me.
00:45:53It will.
00:45:53It will.
00:45:53It will.
00:45:53It will.
00:45:53It will.
00:45:54It will.
00:45:54It will.
00:45:54It will.
00:45:55It will.
00:45:55It will.
00:45:55It will.
00:45:56It will.
00:45:56It will.
00:45:56It will.
00:45:56It will.
00:45:56It will.
00:45:57It will.
00:45:58It will.
00:46:15It will never do.
00:46:15It's filthy.
00:46:18Bilson and the rest of the staff will give a final clean tomorrow.
00:46:21I think Michael should go home.
00:46:25It's bad luck to see your bride the evening before a wedding.
00:46:27Fleury's happy. That is the important thing.
00:46:36It's getting rather late.
00:46:39You're right. I should be getting back.
00:46:41Oh, no, Michael, please don't go.
00:46:43You can stay all night if you like.
00:46:47Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:46:49Ah, save that for tomorrow.
00:46:54Good night.
00:46:55Good night, Mr. Montt.
00:46:57Good night, sir.
00:46:58Michael.
00:47:00I'll see you out.
00:47:14You know, you're a pig to your father.
00:47:16He deserves it.
00:47:17I rather like him.
00:47:19After all, he introduced me to you.
00:47:35You know, you've never said it.
00:47:39Say what?
00:47:39That you love me.
00:47:41Because if you don't,
00:47:44we should stop all this now.
00:47:49What a chump you are.
00:47:52Giving a girl the let out
00:47:53might make me think you don't care.
00:47:55Don't twist things.
00:47:57You know I do.
00:48:00And you.
00:48:02Face to face.
00:48:03Can you say it?
00:48:06I love you, Michael.
00:48:11More than anything, more than anyone.
00:48:16There.
00:48:17Now I've said it.
00:48:19You probably care for me less.
00:48:21I care for you more.
00:48:25That's possible.
00:48:25Don't.
00:48:38Don't.
00:48:40Don't.
00:48:42Don't.
00:48:43Don't.
00:48:43Don't.
00:48:44Don't.
00:49:00Blast.
00:49:01Are you ready?
00:49:03You look very beautiful, my dear.
00:49:16I'm away with you, both of you.
00:49:33I'll do that.
00:49:34You can always pull out, you know.
00:49:45If you want to.
00:49:47And why should I do that?
00:49:49Marriage is for life.
00:49:51Or at least it should be.
00:49:55Think very carefully.
00:49:57I have thought.
00:49:58Not about Michael, you haven't.
00:50:01But the other one.
00:50:02Don't talk about him.
00:50:03You don't have the right.
00:50:05The right.
00:50:06I'm your father.
00:50:07I've given you everything.
00:50:09I'll give it all back when I'm married.
00:50:10I'll throw it at you if needs be.
00:50:13My whole life, I have dedicated to you.
00:50:15To making you happy.
00:50:19But you got it wrong, didn't you?
00:50:22You thought I cared about dresses and frippery.
00:50:26I'd have married John in my underclothes.
00:50:29And because of you.
00:50:31You!
00:50:31He stopped loving me.
00:50:34The one thing I really wanted.
00:50:39Of course.
00:50:41It's my fault.
00:50:42It always was.
00:50:45That's how she saw it.
00:50:46How she still sees it.
00:50:47I don't want to hear about her.
00:50:48I'll tell you anyway, shall I?
00:50:50The great sin your father committed.
00:50:53Then you can write me off altogether.
00:50:54You said I don't want to hear it.
00:50:56I married her because I loved her.
00:51:00Very simple.
00:51:03That's why Michael's marrying you.
00:51:06She abused my trust.
00:51:08She denied me my right as a husband.
00:51:11She ignored me.
00:51:13She flaunted her lover in my face.
00:51:15She locked me out of her life, her body.
00:51:17Please.
00:51:20One night, her door was open.
00:51:25She was lying there looking very beautiful.
00:51:29She is very beautiful, don't you think?
00:51:31I whispered her name when she was asleep.
00:51:35Stop.
00:51:35I must have been mad.
00:51:36And I think I was mad for her.
00:51:44So I took her.
00:51:50Forcibly.
00:51:56A punishment.
00:52:01And now when I see her,
00:52:03I know she's thinking only of that.
00:52:31It's all in the past, Teddy.
00:52:33It's a terrible thing.
00:52:45John didn't have to leave me.
00:52:48He didn't change his mind.
00:52:52He did that all for himself.
00:52:55Fool.
00:52:55Well, he could have had you.
00:53:06He didn't want me.
00:53:08Not enough.
00:53:09What a day, Bilston.
00:53:34I never thought I'd see it.
00:53:38Not a bad turnout.
00:53:39You're probably wondering the same as me.
00:53:41When will the bride reach the starting block?
00:53:43Of course it will.
00:53:44It's a heavy-carvy business.
00:53:46Oh.
00:53:46It's all for the best.
00:53:50Now get in.
00:53:52The aristocracy is such a disappointment.
00:53:55We'll expect them to look different.
00:53:57Who for?
00:53:57Well, from us, of course.
00:53:59No, Bob.
00:54:00But if anything, we've got the edge.
00:54:02Smarter.
00:54:03Better turned out.
00:54:04Well, Fleur's done that at least.
00:54:05What?
00:54:06Officially pulled us into the upper classes.
00:54:09Oh.
00:54:09Her names will be recorded on the stub book.
00:54:11Money joined to land.
00:54:16Annette.
00:54:18Annette.
00:54:19Is everything all right?
00:54:21She's on her way.
00:54:22Oh, she's on her way.
00:54:23She's on her way, George.
00:54:31Fleur!
00:54:33I've got it.
00:54:35I'm ready now.
00:54:39Let's get away from here.
00:54:45Now.
00:54:47I've ran torn.
00:54:50Dressed like this?
00:54:52I should stand out, rather, don't you think?
00:54:56But I'm sure about this.
00:54:58Your marriage to Michael.
00:55:00Marriage can be a misery.
00:55:04We'll be all right.
00:55:06Michael and I.
00:55:07We'll rub along.
00:55:09But thank you all the same.
00:55:13Here.
00:56:25You know what's happening now?
00:56:30This moment?
00:56:31Yes.
00:56:32You know that you'll forget her soon enough out there?
00:56:46How long did it take you to forget this other chap?
00:56:52The one before Dad?
00:56:54Oh.
00:56:56A while.
00:57:02A long while.
00:57:04I saw Fleur again.
00:57:05Oh.
00:57:06So she made contact?
00:57:07Oh, I did.
00:57:09The way we parted before was terrible.
00:57:10But this time...
00:57:11We met in Green Park.
00:57:12She was different.
00:57:13Grown up.
00:57:17Grown up.
00:57:18Everything she did that day...
00:57:19Everything she said...
00:57:20Reminded me of why I loved her.
00:57:21John.
00:57:22John.
00:57:23John.
00:57:24Hi, John.
00:57:25Hi, John.
00:57:26I thought I might go to Paris.
00:57:27Stay with us.
00:57:28I thought I might go to Paris.
00:57:29Stay with some old friends.
00:57:30I thought I might go to Paris.
00:57:31Stay with some old friends.
00:57:33I thought I might go to Paris.
00:57:34Stay with some old friends.
00:57:36Then maybe on to Spain.
00:57:37And the house.
00:57:39Oh, man.
00:57:40What?
00:57:41What?
00:57:42I thought I might go to Paris.
00:57:43Stay with some old friends.
00:57:45And maybe on to Spain.
00:57:56And the house?
00:57:57What?
00:57:58What?
00:57:59What?
00:58:00What?
00:58:01What?
00:58:02I thought I might go to Paris.
00:58:03I thought I might go to Paris.
00:58:04And the house? What will happen to it?
00:58:08I shall let it, or...
00:58:12put it up for sale.
00:58:16For sale?
00:58:20Well, a house...
00:58:23is only a possession, after all.
00:58:27Still, it's hard not to care.
00:58:34But...
00:58:39you're welcome!
00:58:44We've been here for the first time,
00:58:46and we've been here for years.
00:58:49Let's go!
00:58:50Let's go!
00:58:51Let's go!
00:58:53Let's go!
00:58:54Let's go!
00:58:56Let's go!
00:58:57Let's go!
00:58:58Let's go!
00:59:00Let's go!
00:59:01It's profound.
00:59:25She did say she wouldn't invite him.
00:59:27Well, don't let it spoil things.
00:59:29Not today.
00:59:30Winifred, this is Michael Munt's grandfather.
00:59:35It's rather nice, isn't it?
00:59:38It's rather nice, isn't it?
00:59:40The last wedding I was at was in the Cape.
00:59:44The tribe buried the bride up to the west.
00:59:49Didn't Fleur look lovely?
00:59:51And that dress.
00:59:54Have you ever been married, Mr. Performe?
00:59:56A number of times.
00:59:59I don't recommend it.
01:00:01It's like Miss Anne used to say, Miss Hester.
01:00:03Marriage is not the be-all, but one might like to try it.
01:00:08All the same.
01:00:09Ah, a successful affair, Mr. Fox-Eyde.
01:00:13The bride looked in a top-notch elf.
01:00:16Indeed.
01:00:17Why shouldn't she?
01:00:18A splendid display of the feminine sex.
01:00:21But the gem, the cherry on the cake, is your sister, of course, Mrs. Winifred Darty.
01:00:32Oh, Prosper.
01:00:34I, I, I, I, I just must, um, yes.
01:00:39It's an American stockbroker of yours.
01:00:43The fellow Winifred uses.
01:00:44He's bona fide.
01:00:45And high risk.
01:00:47You've ruined my sister, Mr. Profond.
01:00:49You'll have me to account for.
01:00:50Ruiner?
01:00:52Look at her.
01:00:53Winifred is the only foresight who seems to enjoy spending money.
01:00:57Then, of course, she's the only foresight who was never given any.
01:01:02Oh, gosh, sorry, I didn't mean.
01:01:12It's all right.
01:01:14You're Michael's cousin, aren't you?
01:01:18Do you want me to go?
01:01:21Stay if you like.
01:01:23You looked so beautiful in your wedding dress.
01:01:27I can't wait to be married.
01:01:32How old are you?
01:01:33Nine.
01:01:34Nine.
01:01:37That's a lovely age to be.
01:01:42Your sash is undone.
01:01:46Ew.
01:01:46You're not crying.
01:01:58On my wedding day.
01:02:00Of course not.
01:02:02Go and tell them I'm almost ready.
01:02:04No.
01:02:28I'm sorry.
01:02:28I've brought the car to the front. Where's Flo?
01:02:38I'll go and see.
01:02:39I will.
01:02:42She's coming down! She's coming down!
01:02:45She's coming down!
01:02:51Excuse me. Excuse me.
01:02:55Excuse me.
01:02:58He's coming down.
01:02:59Oh!
01:03:00Oh!
01:03:01Oh!
01:03:06Oh!
01:03:07Oh!
01:03:08Oh!
01:03:09Thank you very much for all your help, and we'll see you soon.
01:03:36Daddy.
01:03:39Will you do something for me?
01:03:42The picture.
01:03:43The dagger.
01:03:44Come on, Fleur, we've got a boat to catch.
01:03:46Throw it away, will you?
01:03:48Get rid of it.
01:03:49I don't want it here when I get back.
01:03:52Reminding me.
01:04:09Move, move, move.
01:04:24Wait here, Spade. I'll walk the rest of the way.
01:04:44Very good, sir.
01:04:54I thought I'd start on the cellar, ma'am.
01:05:22Mr. Jolyon's fishing equipment.
01:05:25If you would, perfect.
01:05:28There's somebody coming to view the house this afternoon.
01:05:34Probably be them now.
01:05:36Oh, I shall see to it.
01:05:52You haven't come for the house.
01:06:00You cross my mind.
01:06:02But no.
01:06:05Hmm.
01:06:11This is for your boy.
01:06:13Flair wanted me to get rid of it, but...
01:06:15But I couldn't.
01:06:18I think he should have it.
01:06:21It's a small thing.
01:06:24Not valuable.
01:06:29Important.
01:06:39Come in.
01:06:41Please.
01:07:03You're going away.
01:07:05John's abroad.
01:07:06I've nothing to keep me here.
01:07:19Fleur.
01:07:20Hmm.
01:07:23A likeness, certainly.
01:07:26Something in the eyes.
01:07:28Yes.
01:07:28My daughter was an imp.
01:07:33She was never bad, you understand.
01:07:35Has something happened to her?
01:07:36No.
01:07:37You talked of her in the past tense?
01:07:41Well, honeymooning, that's all.
01:07:46Forever, it seems.
01:07:48Yes.
01:07:48I sometimes wonder if I was right.
01:07:59About what?
01:08:02I got a letter from John today.
01:08:06So formally.
01:08:08He writes like a 45-year-old, and he was...
01:08:11He's always so alive.
01:08:13Yeah.
01:08:13Did we ruin it for them?
01:08:24Were we too blind to see that...
01:08:27My daughter is happily married.
01:08:32Of course.
01:08:37We are anticipating grandchildren.
01:08:39That would be a happy occurrence.
01:08:50I'll leave you to your packing.
01:09:05Soans?
01:09:09Bye, then.
01:09:18Bye, then.
01:09:18I won't see you again.
01:09:48Probably not.
01:10:18Come and go.
01:10:20Come and go.
01:10:46Come and go.
01:10:56You didn't want anything.
01:11:08You didn't want anything.
01:11:20You didn't want anything.
01:11:32You didn't want anything.
01:11:44You didn't want anything.
01:11:56You didn't want anything.
01:12:08You didn't want anything.
01:12:24You didn't want anything.
