00:03:08Hi.
00:03:10Hi, Julie Schofield.
00:03:24Hello.
00:03:36That thing does work properly, does it?
00:03:38Oh, it works just fine.
00:03:41I want my words preserved for posterity.
00:03:44I won't miss a thing.
00:03:48Drink?
00:03:49Thanks very much.
00:03:57Beer bourbon, I'm afraid. Scotch.
00:04:00Scotch would be great.
00:04:02Ice?
00:04:03Yes, of course.
00:04:06I'm afraid so.
00:04:08I've always wanted fame.
00:04:11I've always liked the idea of my name going down in history.
00:04:15Going down as a spy for Russia?
00:04:17Fame or infamy, what does it matter?
00:04:19I shan't be forgotten.
00:04:20My mother could only see me now.
00:04:27The last of the few.
00:04:29There really was only a few.
00:04:31Oh, there were plenty of people waiting to see which way to jump.
00:04:36Things only had to go a little differently and, well, you know.
00:04:39But yes, in practice we were just a few, happy few, band of brothers.
00:04:50Shakespeare, Henry V, our most patriotic king.
00:04:55How big a band were you, this band of brothers?
00:05:00Some things have to remain secret even now.
00:05:04Sure.
00:05:07Certain, alas.
00:05:10Background, dear lady, is all I can give you.
00:05:14The whole delightful, utterly despicable English background.
00:05:18Well, I understand the delightfulness, all right.
00:05:22But not why you had to despise it.
00:05:25How someone of your class and, well, background...
00:05:28She'd want to kick it in the teeth.
00:05:30Precisely.
00:05:31You've no idea what life in England in the 1930s was like.
00:05:39Treason and loyalty.
00:05:41They're all relative, you know.
00:05:43Treason to what?
00:05:45Loyalty to whom?
00:05:46That's what matters.
00:05:47Good job.
00:06:00Enter and whole and perfect
00:06:05The service of my love
00:06:10The love that has no question
00:06:17The love that stands the test
00:06:22That lays upon the altar
00:06:28The dearest and the best
00:06:34The love that never falls us
00:06:40The love that pays the price
00:06:46The love that lays upon the altar
00:06:53The final word that we find
00:06:59And there's another country
00:07:06I've heard of long ago
00:07:12Most dear to them that love her
00:07:18Most great to them that know
00:07:23We may not see her king
00:07:36Her fortress is a faithful heart
00:07:42Her pride in suffering
00:07:48And so I saw that silently
00:07:54Her shining fountain feast
00:08:00And the ways, the ways of gentlemen
00:08:07They shall grow not old
00:08:21As we that are left grow old
00:08:23Age shall not weary them
00:08:26Nor the years condemn
00:08:28At the going down of the sun
00:08:31And in the morning
00:08:33We will remember them
00:08:36We will remember them
00:08:39Want to come and have lunch?
00:08:44My parents are down
00:08:45That's very nice of you
00:08:46Thanks
00:08:47You were laughing
00:08:48I was not
00:08:48Giggling, then
00:08:49I didn't utter a sound
00:08:50You were giggling silently
00:08:51I couldn't concentrate on the dead at all
00:08:53Just
00:08:54Even a crusty old Tory like you, Devenish
00:08:59Must be able to see
00:09:00That it's absolutely ludicrous
00:09:01For 400 boys to line up and love
00:09:03For a lot of people they never even knew
00:09:04What do you mean they didn't know?
00:09:05And who only died in a businessman's war
00:09:07Because they were too damn stupid
00:09:08To shoot their superior officers
00:09:09And start a revolution
00:09:10Like the Russians
00:09:11They were the superior officers, weren't they?
00:09:15We could all see who you were thinking about
00:09:16Warton!
00:09:18Warton!
00:09:28Yes, Hartley?
00:09:29Take these around all the houses, please
00:09:31I want one on every notice board before lunch
00:09:33Yes, Hartley
00:09:34What you forget is all those people died for us
00:09:38They died for their class
00:09:39You are their class
00:09:40It's damn silly to pretend you're not
00:09:42You're always trying to be different
00:09:44What's wrong with being different?
00:09:46Well, you are
00:09:47I mean, you want to be elected to be a god, don't you, Devenish?
00:09:51Yes
00:09:51They're different
00:09:53That's not what I mean
00:09:54You wait
00:09:58My waistcoats are going to be the most different you've ever seen
00:10:01Why an intelligent person like you
00:10:02Should want to be part of a self-perpetuating oligarchy
00:10:05It's a pity you have to be a prefect before you can be elected
00:10:07Or else I'll be wearing one now
00:10:09Oh, you'll make it next term
00:10:11Meas will see to that
00:10:12Will I?
00:10:13That's the question
00:10:14I expect so
00:10:15Do you mind to do the honours, Barkley?
00:10:20Yes, of course
00:10:21All I must say is that
00:10:24Best service
00:10:25Yeah
00:10:26Yeah
00:10:26Yeah
00:10:26So what about the mobs around?
00:10:36Ah, there was a fool

00:12:57.
00:12:58then he'll shoot a tender yet burning soft yet passionate glance across the
00:13:03300 yards of sacred turf hoping against hope that I shall be there to receive
00:13:08it and I shall lay my heart at his feet must have enormous feet well stretch from Longfords to here
00:13:15oh Mingy just want a peek thank you no you seem mad no no I'm afraid I only have eyes for one
00:13:21person in the entire world any of you probably with his parents I don't think they came down
00:13:26still never mind thanks no thank you for the good humid restraint with which you exercise your
00:13:32power Mingy's it's not only not fair it's not even sensible come on Judd my parents spend hundreds
00:13:41of pounds a year sending us to this prison so it can be educated we spend the entire time playing
00:13:45games quite right too games are good for Bolsheviks teach you a bit of team spirit you could be quite
00:13:51good at cricket if you'd only try I don't want to try I want to be left alone so I can get on with my
00:13:55work I hope you're not taking those binos out of house Bennett then you hope in vain father
00:14:07farcicals give me permission to use him for nature study who farcical if you mean the house master
00:14:15kindly use his proper name you didn't what use his proper name his proper name is mr. Farkerson are you
00:14:22trying to be clever or something I don't have to try I am clever I've half a mind to ask Barkley
00:14:27for permission to beat you well you've half a mind we can all agree on that changed everybody
00:14:36anyone late for the house matches will be up before Barkley for six strokes
00:14:40what you have to grasp Devonish is that Fowler is precisely what the school was designed to produce
00:14:52not empire builders dear me no building empires needs imagination empire rulers I do dry up Fowler
00:15:02will go straight from the king's African rifles into the colonial service you'll see he'll end up with
00:15:06an OBE and syphilis Bennett do you mind he'll catch it off a little native girl we'll visit after dark in her
00:15:14steamy primeval hut and when he gets back to his mildew little wife in Bexhill on the sea he won't be
00:15:21able to look in the face so he'll turn her over and for heaven's sake serves a right for marrying an
00:15:26imperialist and an exploiter there's nothing wrong with the colonial service it's a perfectly
00:15:30decent shut up there is nothing decent about colonialism I don't see why you have to be
00:15:35against everything I'm not I'm for revolution all right everyone umpires for Longfords versus
00:15:43chancellors oh me please me and Judd all right I want to go and umpire yes you do come along
00:16:13umpire umpire that was a wide no it wasn't I couldn't possibly
00:16:43have reached that of course you could you just didn't try it was practically outside the white
00:16:47line are you arguing with the umpire because arguing with the umpire is not school practice
00:16:53at least it might be in your house but it certainly isn't in ours and since we beat
00:16:56you last week and just shut up
00:16:58I think we should have run a muffled peel after the dedication
00:17:28I don't see why we didn't because we're not good enough yet
00:17:30you don't have to be good to know a muffled peel
00:17:33no one can really tell you I'll muffle you if you don't shut up
00:17:37out you lot go out all of you sponging you get a master now
00:17:50out Jezu god did did you see it's happy from治� игра right here
00:18:00thank you
00:18:01thank you
00:18:02thank you
00:18:04thank you
00:18:05thank you
00:18:08thank you
00:18:11thank you
00:18:13thank you
00:18:16thank you
00:18:16thank you
00:18:17thank you
00:18:18thank you
00:18:19This place?
00:18:35This place!
00:18:39This place!
00:18:49Everything should be left to the gods.
00:18:52He'd never have done it if he hadn't been sent to see the headmaster.
00:18:56He knew that meant expulsion.
00:18:58Yes, but once a master had caught him, Delahaye, it was out of our hands.
00:19:02Especially as it was with a man from another house.
00:19:04The gods could have dealt with it. That's what we're here for.
00:19:07Prefects handle house matters. The gods deal with everything else.
00:19:11And masters should mind their own business.
00:19:14Even the mighty gods can't expel people, Delahaye.
00:19:17Who needs people expelled?
00:19:18Well, you wouldn't have let Mardinot stay.
00:19:20Of course.
00:19:21He wouldn't have been able to sit down for a week after the gods have finished with him.
00:19:24But if we start expelling everyone who indulges this...
00:19:27Well, there we are, aren't we?
00:19:28The tone of this whole house has simply gone to pieces,
00:19:30and you, Delahaye, are mainly responsible.
00:19:32Fowler, please.
00:19:33Yes, shut up, Fowler.
00:19:34But it's precisely attitudes like that that will be...
00:19:36Will you shut up!
00:19:44Now, we're all, I know, very distressed about what's happened.
00:19:47Well, personally...
00:19:49Well, I've always tried to make everyone feel he can come to me at any time.
00:19:53Whatever the problem.
00:19:55And he must have been desperate.
00:19:57Probably wouldn't have made any difference.
00:20:00But if he talked to me, to you, anyone...
00:20:07However, we have to try and overcome our personal feelings...
00:20:12...and remember our responsibility to the house.
00:20:15Yeah, yeah.
00:20:16We don't want people rushing off confessing things...
00:20:18...which, quite frankly, they do better to keep to themselves.
00:20:20If people have things to confess, I think they should confess them.
00:20:23A thorough clear-out is just what this house needs.
00:20:25Thanks. I would like there to be a house here next term, for me to be head of.
00:20:29Well, I'm sure it's not nearly on that scale.
00:20:31Well, anyway, wouldn't you like to start with a clean house?
00:20:34Quite frankly, I doubt there's such a thing as a clean house exists...
00:20:37...in this school or any other.
00:20:42What about a special session of house prose?
00:20:44How's prose?
00:21:10Almighty and most merciful Father...
00:21:12...almighty and most merciful Father...
00:21:15...we have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep.
00:21:19We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts.
00:21:33If you ask me, it all comes of having masters who aren't old boys.
00:21:37I see.
00:21:41Well, an old boy would have more sense than to go prowling round gymnasium changing room.
00:21:48Everybody knows what goes on there.
00:21:54Look, you'd better watch yourself, Bennet.
00:21:57Discretion is going to be the better part of valour around here, wouldn't you say?
00:22:01May I go and talk to Jad, please?
00:22:16If you think you can get a word in.
00:22:17Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind.
00:22:31It is abomination.
00:22:32Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith.
00:22:37Neither shalt any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto.
00:22:42It is confusion.
00:22:44Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things.
00:22:47Alone at last.
00:22:52Get off.
00:22:58I'll get you one day.
00:22:59You won't.
00:23:00So, well, everyone gives in in the end. It's Bennet's law.
00:23:02I won't give in.
00:23:04Well, you're not normal.
00:23:12My God, that was quick. Who did it?
00:23:13Matron.
00:23:17Matron.
00:23:27Poor Matron.
00:23:37The reason everyone gives in in the end
00:23:40is they get lonely doing it on their own.
00:23:43They long for company.
00:23:44Well, I don't.
00:23:46Not your sort, anyway.
00:23:47That's why my mother's marrying this awful colonel person.
00:23:50Arthur.
00:23:52It couldn't just possibly be that she loves him.
00:23:55Out of the question.
00:23:57He's got one of those awful little moustaches.
00:23:59He's ghastly.
00:24:01Almost as much of a lover as my father was.
00:24:04You mean even you would draw the line?
00:24:06Don't be revolting.
00:24:08He's a grown-up.
00:24:10Of course.
00:24:11And it's all just a passing phase.
00:24:13Exactly.
00:24:14Just like you being a communist.
00:24:15Aha.
00:24:19Judd.
00:24:20You and your usherette.
00:24:24What about her?
00:24:28Is it really so different?
00:24:30From what?
00:24:32Boys.
00:24:34Well, how would I know?
00:24:35She's only ever had a girl.
00:24:37What is it, Wharton?
00:24:38What is it, Wharton?
00:24:39I don't know what to do about Spongeon's water.
00:24:41I want him to pass it on his own.
00:24:43Then pour it out and go to bed.
00:24:44He makes a terrible fuss if his water's cold.
00:24:47He said he'd report me to Barclay.
00:24:49Then go and fill up the jug with new hot water,
00:24:51bring it back to the dorm,
00:24:53cover it with a flannel and leave it by Spongeon's bed, alright?
00:24:56Thank you, Judd.
00:25:02Hurry up, Wharton.
00:25:03Yes, the lady.
00:25:04Come on.
00:25:07God, does Capitan looks difficult.
00:25:10Well, I haven't found anything I couldn't understand eventually.
00:25:14I mean, if they taught us any economics there,
00:25:16instead of children's and bloody stewards.
00:25:19Marks should be a set book for the Sixth.
00:25:22They should only give us to fight our way through it on our own.
00:25:25And under the blankets.
00:25:28Barkley confiscated another torch last night.
00:25:31How many is that?
00:25:32Twelve.
00:25:34Twelve torches taken away to stop me getting the education I'm supposed to be here for.
00:25:38God, if our parents only knew what actually went on here.
00:25:42They do know.
00:25:44The fathers, anyway.
00:25:45They do know.
00:25:46They do know.
00:25:48The fathers, anyway.
00:26:15They touch us, you know,
00:26:16we'll get our ranch, now.
00:26:17Go.
00:26:19It's fine.
00:26:21Well, it's fine.
00:26:22Benet, what the hell are you doing?
00:26:43Go to bed.
00:26:52Kingdom stands and rose forever
00:27:00Till all thy creatures don't lie sway
00:27:22To be continued...
00:27:41Oh, my God.
00:28:11What's this?
00:28:29I'm very sorry, Father. I thought I'd...
00:28:30Juniors are not required to think, Wharton.
00:28:32They are required to obey orders.
00:28:34And I told you to make this cup shine.
00:28:36Yes, Father.
00:28:38Well.
00:28:38Not bad, except for that smear.
00:28:43Get it off.
00:28:45This far.
00:28:54You know, if you are going to be in the south of France,
00:28:56you might as well look around for a nice little villa for August.
00:28:59Might I?
00:29:00Why not just extend the honeymoon?
00:29:04I could pop down on the blue train just as soon as school's over.
00:29:07I see.
00:29:09I only want to bring one friend.
00:29:11It won't be at all expensive.
00:29:12I don't think Arthur would like Judd, darling.
00:29:15I don't mean Judd, darling.
00:29:16Anyway, Arthur thinks everyone under the age of 18 is either a pinko or a pansy,
00:29:22so it won't make much difference to I bring, will it?
00:29:26You know, I'm awfully worried.
00:29:31You see, it is an established fact
00:29:32that people who go around suspecting vice in others are highly suspect themselves.
00:29:37But Arthur's the most normal man I've ever known.
00:29:41What better disguise?
00:29:43Listen, there's still time to call yourself.
00:29:45Come on, let's stop the car.
00:29:46You really shouldn't joke about it, Gary.
00:29:50Not after that poor boy.
00:29:53I suppose he was dreadfully unpopular.
00:29:55Aren't you now?
00:29:57No.
00:29:58Well, I should have thought a boy like that.
00:30:00Oh, well, better off dead, no doubt about it.
00:30:01Well, I have known one or two of, uh, of those.
00:30:05And they're never very happy, you know.
00:30:07Or me.
00:30:08Oh, they can be very amusing, but, uh, oh, here we are.
00:30:31Oh, they can be very happy, you know.
00:31:01Oh, they can be very happy.
00:31:12Oh, they can be very happy.
00:31:17If you ask me, public schools go on too long.
00:31:20Arthur means the fees.
00:31:21It's not just the fees.
00:31:23I mean, look at Guy.
00:31:24He's not a boy anymore.
00:31:25He's a young man, aren't you, old chap?
00:31:27Right there.
00:31:28Well then, I think you should leave at the end of this term.
00:31:30take a job for a year or two go around the world you must be mad school's just
00:31:35getting to the good bit I think you need to find out a bit about life before you
00:31:38go up to the varsity I second it why not the army why not first class I mean one
00:31:46learn so much about life in the army yeah killing people mommy how dare you talk like that how do you
00:32:03plan to send me around the world without even consulting it's all right it was only an idea
00:32:07darling it was just that Arthur thought we only want to do what's best for you guys if either of
00:32:14you seriously thinks that I'm going to leave now after 10 years of hard labor in the salt mines of
00:32:19prep and public school if you want to stay I'm going to be a god mummy what the school elite
00:32:25the creme de la creme oh yes of course it's the only thing that's made the last 10 years
00:32:30endurable the thought that one day I'm going to be top of the whole stinking heap well if that's
00:32:34how you feel darling I really must get back to my wedding
00:32:44you
00:32:53you
00:32:54you
00:33:00so
00:33:06Would you care for a drink, sir?
00:33:34Uh, yes, a glass of sherry, thank you.
00:33:37You'll be able, sir.
00:34:04Gosh, you are brave.
00:34:07Did you think I wouldn't come?
00:34:09I, um, didn't know.
00:34:12I hoped you would.
00:34:18Well?
00:34:21Here I am.
00:34:21I, um, hope you're hungry.
00:34:29I'm ravenous.
00:34:30I've had nothing to eat but bits of caviar and toast all day long.
00:34:33It doesn't sound bad.
00:34:35Oh, it's awful.
00:34:37Listen, I, um, I can't call you Harcourt.
00:34:42My name's Guy.
00:34:43I know.
00:34:45I found out.
00:34:47Mine's James.
00:34:49James.
00:34:53That's a very nice name.
00:34:56I nearly lost my nerve.
00:35:00I passed a couple of masters on the way here.
00:35:02Oh, don't worry about them.
00:35:03They won't come in here.
00:35:04They can't afford to.
00:35:06Listen, um, do you like smoked salmon?
00:35:10I love it.
00:35:11I, I love, I love food and drink.
00:35:22Should we get terribly, terribly drunk?
00:35:24If you like.
00:35:26The only thing is, uh, sometimes when, when I get drunk, I, I say things I shouldn't.
00:35:34Still, we, we ought to have something to celebrate with, wouldn't we?
00:35:37Huh.
00:35:39Your sherry, sir.
00:35:41Are you ready to order?
00:35:43Uh, not yet.
00:35:44Bring me the wine, this, would you?
00:35:46Here we are, sir.
00:35:49We've a nice little hock, if you care for hocks, huh?
00:35:52No, no, no, champagne.
00:35:53I've been drinking it all day and it doesn't do to mix one's drinks.
00:35:57What's the best champagne you've got?
00:35:58Well, the Moet, I suppose, sir.
00:36:00It's been a most unfortunate affair, of course, but on the whole, the school has not come out of it too badly.
00:36:15For that, we must be extremely grateful to Barclay and Henderson
00:36:19for the admirable way they've handled their respective houses
00:36:22through what could have been a most serious crisis.
00:36:25Here.
00:36:26Here.
00:36:26Here.
00:36:26Here.
00:36:26Here.
00:36:26Here.
00:36:26Here.
00:36:26Here.
00:36:26Here.
00:36:29We all know how quickly scandal can spread.
00:36:32As a matter of fact, my father won't have anyone in the firm from Harrow because of what he's heard.
00:36:36Well, I can't imagine him wanting anyone from Harrow anyway.
00:36:40But we do still have to make it absolutely clear to the outside world
00:36:45that this was a completely isolated incident.
00:36:48I cannot emphasize too strongly
00:36:49that nothing even remotely like it can ever be allowed to occur again.
00:36:54All right.
00:36:55All right.
00:36:56My real father died when I was 14.
00:37:01How awful.
00:37:03It was the Easter halls.
00:37:08I was reading one night in my bed when I had the most peculiar noise, sort of muffled, squeaky.
00:37:15Couldn't think what it was at first.
00:37:16It sounded trapped somehow.
00:37:28So I went down the passage and it seemed to be coming from my parents' room and there was
00:37:35a light under the door.
00:37:36So I assumed none of my business.
00:37:41Gosh.
00:37:42Then I distinctly heard my mother say, help.
00:37:48Help.
00:37:51It was terribly eerie.
00:37:54Complete silence and there it was again.
00:37:57Help.
00:37:58I didn't know what to do.
00:37:59No.
00:38:00I went down the passage and I knocked loudly on the door and I said, are you all right?
00:38:01And she said, guy, quick help.
00:38:02She sounded absolutely at her last gasp.
00:38:03So I went in and...
00:38:04Listen, are you sure you really want to hear this?
00:38:05No.
00:38:06No not if you don't want to tell me.
00:38:08No, no I do.
00:38:09My...
00:38:10My...
00:38:11My...
00:38:12My...
00:38:13My...
00:38:14My...
00:38:15My...
00:38:16...
00:38:35my father had had a heart attack right in the middle of no happens all the time
00:38:47apparently a better way to go for the man but for my mother she was trapped
00:38:58absolutely incredible. it was awful. my mother kept her eyes closed the whole time
00:39:06what i wish i could have done it was so embarrassing. god it must have been. she never really looked me in the eye again
00:39:17you see i always hated him he was he was vile. my mother
00:39:28i've always been very fond of my mother
00:39:32but well things haven't been quite the same between us since since then
00:39:44perhaps that's why she married again
00:39:48perhaps it is never thought about that
00:39:58you know what i'd like to do sometime
00:40:14ride around europe on a bicycle
00:40:16a tent
00:40:20sharing it with someone you really like
00:40:25i've never spent a night with anyone

00:40:30no

00:42:12Sit.
00:42:28Sit.
00:42:33Sit.
00:42:41All right, Bennett. I've got you this time.
00:42:45Oh, God. I thought you were fouler.
00:42:54That drain pipe's a bloody disgrace. How much have I wear with the housemaster?
00:42:58Psst.
00:43:01Tommy.
00:43:04May I call you Tommy, Tommy?
00:43:06If you want.
00:43:11I'm in love.
00:43:13That's not exactly news.
00:43:15I don't mean in love. I mean...
00:43:18I mean in love.
00:43:20You're drunk.
00:43:22You know, till now. It's just been a game, but...
00:43:26Now.
00:43:28What are you doing here?
00:43:30I thought you didn't have to be back till tomorrow.
00:43:32And why are you dressed like a god?
00:43:34I'm practicing for next term.
00:43:37Well, you'd better be careful not to get any more food in that waistcoat then. It's grubby already.
00:43:40Oh, damn the waistcoat. I've been waiting for this ever since my...
00:43:43Nothing's ever going to be as good again till I'm ambassador in Paris.
00:43:46Don't be so pathetic.
00:43:49Life is ladders, Tommy, that's all.
00:43:52Prep school to here.
00:43:54First form to sixth, second assistant, junior under-secretary to ambassador in Paris, Sir Guy Bennett, KCVO, KCMG.
00:44:02Contemptable sycophant in the service of the bourgeoisie.
00:44:05Huh?
00:44:06It's what Lenin called the renegade, Karl Kautsky.
00:44:09Did he indeed?
00:44:10Because he substituted eclecticism and sophistry for dialectics.
00:44:14Oh, that is bad.
00:44:15Groveling about to kings and queens, walking backwards, kissing hands.
00:44:20You're utterly imbued with a spirit of servility, that's what he'd have said.
00:44:24You mean he wouldn't have liked me?
00:44:26No.
00:44:27What about James?
00:44:29Who's James?
00:44:30Harcourt. His name's James.
00:44:32Quite frankly, I don't think he'd have cared much for the pair of you.
00:44:37God.
00:44:38First, they take away my tortures.
00:44:40Then when I take my life, or at least my bum in my hands, and creep down here to do some work, they send me you.
00:44:45This place is impossible.
00:44:47Good night.
00:44:52Who stole my heart away?
00:44:58Who makes me dream all day?
00:45:02Dreams I know will never come true.
00:45:06Seems as though I'll never be blue.
00:45:11Who's last?
00:45:12Wharton.
00:45:13Find Mingy's and ask him to come to me in garden right away.
00:45:16Yes, Farclay.
00:45:17Come on.
00:45:22uraing...
00:45:27Which is one last?
00:45:33Wharton.
00:45:38Find Mingy's and ask him to come to me in garden, right away.
00:45:41Jim, good. What is it? I'm sorry, I've just discovered something awful. Mr. Farquharson is thinking of asking Fowler to stay on, to be head of house instead of you.
00:46:09What? You see, the house isn't going to have enough prefects next term. Why not? What do you mean? It'll only be you and Bennett. Two's not enough. What about Devonish? He's leaving. His parents take a very dim view of the Martineau business. They want him to go to agricultural college straight away. And as Fowler's a year senior to you, and as Judd refuses to be a prefect. Judd? Unless you can get him to take a more responsible attitude, you're a man short, Jim. Fat chance.
00:46:39I'm terribly sorry. He's our only hope.
00:46:44The answer is no.
00:46:46I wish you'd reconsider.
00:46:48No.
00:46:49No.
00:46:50No.
00:46:51No.
00:46:52No.
00:46:53No.
00:46:54No.
00:46:55No.
00:46:56No.
00:46:57No.
00:46:58No.
00:46:59No.
00:47:00No.
00:47:01No.
00:47:02No.
00:47:03No.
00:47:04No.
00:47:05No.
00:47:06No.
00:47:07No.
00:47:08No.
00:47:09No.
00:47:18No.
00:47:19No.
00:47:21No.
00:47:22No.
00:47:23No.
00:47:24No.
00:47:25Right.
00:47:26call nothing really me the makings of a politician I'm really speaking as one
00:47:34friend to another you have well well look you don't want father to be head of
00:47:39house any more than I do he'll make your life a complete misery too bad but I
00:47:44still refuse to collaborate with the system of repression oh for god's sake
00:47:56oh my god I can't look are you all right Bennett shall I get made for him I was a smile it made me dizzy
00:48:11everything beautiful is slightly lopsided there's a hollow at the base of his throat that makes me
00:48:19want to pour honey all over him and lick it off again Bennett this washing up was supposed to be
00:48:24finished 10 minutes ago Bennett you come with me you completely lost your mind yes actually after
00:48:35all this happened you talk like that in front of a junior doesn't understand of course he does you
00:48:39better take a pull on yourself guy I'd rather do it with you you're gonna start showing a little
00:48:48responsibility what on earth are you talking about you don't know what's going on Devonish may be
00:48:54leaving Fowler may be going to stay on as head of house
00:49:06it can't be true unfortunately it can I need your help guy it's all Judd's fault for refusing to be a
00:49:14prefect I want you to talk to him you're much more his friend than I am should think there's a hope in
00:49:21hell well there must be remember if Fowler becomes head of house he certainly won't put you up for the
00:49:27guards I'm relying on you guy prove your worth for once
00:49:33all right Devonish let's have a look
00:49:56not bad not bad not bad at all
00:50:06bed where don't be silly let me see your uniform
00:50:12well it won't do it won't do at all what's wrong with it do you call those creases
00:50:25well I'm not very handy with the iron actually do them again do everything again I'm not having
00:50:32you let down the whole house it won't be the whole house Fowler I mean the juniors aren't in the core
00:50:38the moon shines bright
00:50:53on such a night as this when the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees and they did make no noise
00:51:03on such a night Bennett methinks mounted the Gascoigne walls inside his soul toward the Longford tents
00:51:16where Harcourt lay that night
00:51:18I can't do it
00:51:30I just cannot be a prefect
00:51:34why not
00:51:38I do have my reputation you know
00:51:41you're what
00:51:43I'm a school joke I quite realize that
00:51:46but I am don't you think a respected joke
00:51:51I do at least stick to my principles people appreciate that
00:51:56I abandoned them now
00:51:59I'm sorry
00:52:02you don't care what people think
00:52:05about me personally no
00:52:06they'll say it was all a fake
00:52:09no
00:52:10no
00:52:12so that's what we said all along is all just a form of showing off
00:52:15on the contrary they'll
00:52:16they'll see the means justifying the ends
00:52:19what could be more communist than that
00:52:21they'll think it was all a fake
00:52:23they'll think all communists are fake
00:52:26it's what they say about Stalin
00:52:29now what on earth Stalin got to do with it
00:52:32that man is sweating blood night and day to drag his country into the 20th century
00:52:36and creates a whole new concept of society at the same time
00:52:39I can't stand it when people sneer at him
00:52:41jokes about the Tsar and Commissar
00:52:42thought I might find you here
00:52:56it's all right I couldn't sleep either
00:53:04that bloody dog of Wharton's gets on my nerves
00:53:08I thought I'd go walkies myself
00:53:11want to come
00:53:12not exactly dressed for walking actually
00:53:15how's working
00:53:18well
00:53:19I won't disturb you
00:53:21would you like my torch
00:53:24it is yours
00:53:26thanks
00:53:31this drain pipe's still all right isn't it
00:53:34afraid I can't tell you
00:53:35Barclay
00:53:38yes
00:53:39the housemaster really going to ask Fowler to stay on
00:53:42things do get about don't they
00:53:45is he
00:53:45I don't know
00:53:47to tell you the truth I don't actually care anymore
00:53:51I've had enough
00:53:53I haven't slept for nights and nights
00:53:56really
00:53:57quite frankly I've got to the pitch where I wonder why we bother
00:54:00who
00:54:00any of us
00:54:01why we keep the whole thing going
00:54:04sometimes I think none of us really believes in it
00:54:07of course I don't believe in it
00:54:08you're afraid to think of anything better
00:54:10do you think so
00:54:12you know perfectly well it's all nonsense
00:54:14you know it's positively wrong but you don't act on your knowledge
00:54:17you don't accept the logical consequences
00:54:20is that it
00:54:21you're afraid for your status
00:54:23your money
00:54:24your class
00:54:26everything that makes your life safe and comfortable and privileged
00:54:29you're afraid to live like an ordinary human being
00:54:32perhaps I am
00:54:36yes
00:54:44leave the window in for me won't you
00:54:51my god

00:55:21and he's got no right to either
00:55:22I'm into bed
00:55:24are you going to join in the fight against Fowler?
00:55:31I hate him so much it's difficult to be objective
00:55:33well the objective fact in this case
00:55:35is that Fowler is absolutely objectionable
00:55:37please Tommy
00:55:45if you appeal to me as your friend
00:55:47I'll never forgive you
00:55:48Mingy's tried that

01:00:33You are right, Mr.
01:00:41Tyrone!
01:00:43But Tyrone!
01:00:46Shut up!
01:00:49Battalion ready for inspection, sir.
01:01:04Thank you, Sergeant Major.
01:01:19How's your father?
01:01:43Very well, thank you, sir.
01:01:44Good.
01:01:45Good.
01:01:46Good.
01:01:53Good.
01:01:56Good.
01:02:04Good.
01:02:09Good.
01:02:11Good.
01:02:13Why did you do it, Bennett?
01:02:43Do what?
01:02:44You lost us the pot.
01:02:46Oh, surely not just me. Not all on my own.
01:02:48You were far and away the worst dressed soldier on the whole parade.
01:02:51I'm not a soldier. I'm a schoolboy and so are you.
01:02:54You were a disgrace to the house. You were a disgrace to the entire school.
01:02:57I'm hopeless with brass. I can only ever get a really good shine on my nails. Look.
01:03:01Let me see your belt.
01:03:03You want me to undress in front of all these people?
01:03:06Give it to me.
01:03:13I reckon that's worth a full six strokes.
01:03:26All right, Fowler. You can go ahead.
01:03:29Thank you. Come on, Bennett.
01:03:32I appeal to Barclay and Delahaye. Of course.
01:03:35It's my right. They're our house gods.
01:03:37It won't do you any good.
01:03:39It's still my right.
01:03:41All right. If you insist.
01:03:44If you let him off, we won't.
01:03:47He's in the head.
01:03:48That would go ahead, Fowler.
01:03:50He needs an Amaz
01:04:11Off satisfy compromised.
01:04:13I mean, it's appealed to house gods.
01:04:14I wonder what they'll do to him, give him a jolly good beating, I should think.
01:04:28Well, um...
01:04:33I just thought you ought to know
01:04:37that if one stroke of fowler's cane lands on my arse
01:04:41I should go straight to Mr. Farkerson
01:04:44and, er, give him the names of all the people I've done it with over the past three years, that's all.
01:04:56Bennett, you can't do this.
01:04:58Oh, I shall begin at the top.
01:05:02Well, can I, um, go now?
01:05:05Bloody fowler!
01:05:08You never thought it particularly bloody at the time.
01:05:11Oh, my God, I'll thrash you myself!
01:05:13It's only a game, Delehead, there's no need to get so excited.
01:05:17I thought sportsmen were supposed to be good losers.
01:05:21I'd never have dared do that.
01:05:24It's only cheating.
01:05:27Everyone cheats here the whole time.
01:05:30I don't.
01:05:32I don't.
01:05:33I don't.
01:05:34I bet you do.
01:05:35And you've got the chance.
01:05:36Play an even crib.
01:05:37I don't mean work.
01:05:38I mean games.
01:05:39I don't mean work.
01:05:40I mean games.
01:05:41It's only cheating.
01:05:44Everyone cheats here the whole time.
01:05:50I don't.
01:05:53I bet you do.
01:05:55And you've got the chance.
01:06:00Play an even crib.
01:06:04I don't mean work. I mean games.
01:06:09Sportsmanship.
01:06:12It's all hypocrisy.
01:06:17Well, we all know what goes on in the scrum when the ref's not looking.
01:06:24Oh, well.
01:06:27If that's what you...
01:06:31Yes, of course.
01:06:32Yes, of course.
01:06:46Be getting light soon.
01:06:47Mm.
01:06:49I must be going.
01:06:50I must be going.
01:06:53I must be going.
01:06:54I must be going.
01:06:55I must be going.
01:06:56I must be going.
01:06:58Yes.
01:06:59Yes, of course.
01:07:00Yes, of course.
01:07:01Yes.
01:07:02Yes.
01:07:03Yes.
01:07:04Yes.
01:07:05Yes.
01:07:06Yes, of course, there.
01:09:51Thanks.
01:09:52Thanks.
01:09:53Hey.
01:09:54There he is at the school shop.
01:09:57Isn't he awesome, Tommy?
01:10:00You're drawing attention to yourself again.
01:10:03He's not even waving back.
01:10:05Of course he's not.
01:10:08You should learn from his discretion.
01:10:10Oh, if only I could.
01:10:12Sir, I really can't get you to change your mind.
01:10:18It's not so much me as my father.
01:10:20Quite frankly, when he asked me what I'd be staying on for, it was damned hard to say.
01:10:23You might be on the first eleven next time.
01:10:25It's a long time to wait, just on the off chance.
01:10:27If I was going to be a god, that would be one thing.
01:10:30But as it is, just being an ordinary prefect doesn't really make it worthwhile.
01:10:34Sorry.
01:10:35No way.
01:10:36I've decided that the greatest happiness of the greatest number will best be achieved
01:10:53if I do agree to be a prefect.
01:10:55Tommy!
01:10:56Stop it.
01:10:57I shall insist on the terms set forth by Mingy's, but with one extra condition.
01:11:02I shall refuse to take house prayers.
01:11:04Oh, he won't care about that.
01:11:05Oh, Tommy, my cup runneth over.
01:11:08You really are a hero of the people.
01:11:10You know, I'm going to award you the order of Lenin first class with oak leaves.
01:11:14You know, if I wasn't in love with James, I'd be in love with you.
01:11:17Don't be so emotional.
01:11:18It's a purely rational decision.
01:11:20Oh, go on.
01:11:21Go and tell Mingy's before you change your mind.
01:11:23All right.
01:11:24I'm in the music school.
01:11:25Well, hurry.
01:11:26Going, going.
01:11:27Wharton?
01:11:28Yes, Lenin?
01:11:29Yes, Lenin?
01:11:30Yes, Lenin?
01:11:31Yes, Lenin?
01:11:32Yes, Lenin?
01:11:36Wharton?
01:11:41Yes, Bennett?
01:11:57Do you want to bring yourself another ice cream?
01:11:59I wouldn't mind.
01:12:02If you go to a school shop, you'll find a man from Longford, sir, Harcourt.
01:12:05Do you know him?
01:12:07Nice side.
01:12:08Good. Give him this.
01:12:12Here's sixpence.
01:12:17Why are you so keen on Harcourt?
01:12:20If you really don't know, Wharton, I'm certainly not going to tell you.
01:12:23Now, get along.
01:12:36I'll have that if you don't mind, Wharton.
01:12:39Now, come on. Give it to me.
01:12:45All right, Wharton. Thank you.
01:12:48Thank you very much.
01:12:49Thank you very much.
01:13:03Wiggies, can I have a word?
01:13:04Yes, of course. What is it?
01:13:07I've decided I am willing to become a prefect.
01:13:09Wiggies!
01:13:10Look at this.
01:13:12What is it?
01:13:16I've got him this time.
01:13:17He can't get away now.
01:13:18Taking the street debacle.
01:13:19What on earth is that all about?
01:13:22Just one moment, Judd.
01:13:23We can discuss this later.
01:13:41Stepnish, do you think it would make any difference to your attitude?
01:13:44Or your father's attitude?
01:13:46If you were to tell him you were going to be in the Gods next term,
01:13:49instead of Bennett?
01:13:51I'm sure it would.
01:13:54Perhaps you should go and telephone him.
01:13:59You mean there's a real chance?
01:14:23Yes.
01:14:24Maybe he's not.
01:14:25That's not what I was going to be.
01:14:26I'm sure he's not.
01:14:27How's the question?
01:14:28What is it?
01:14:29How's the question?
01:14:30I'm sure he's not.
01:14:31I'm sure it's as though he's not.
01:14:32He's not.
01:14:33I'm sure he's not.
01:14:34You're not.
01:14:36Many people are not.
01:14:38You're not.
01:14:40You're not.
01:14:42I'm sure he's not.
01:14:44I'm sorry.
01:14:45I'm sorry.
01:14:46I'm sorry.
01:14:47I'm sorry.
01:14:48Tell Bennett to come to hall table.
01:16:18I can't do it.
01:16:28What's the matter?
01:16:29Lost your nerve?
01:16:31All right.
01:16:32I'll do it.
01:16:33Come on.
01:16:48All right, Bennett.
01:16:56Bend over.
01:16:57All right.
01:16:58Let's go.
01:16:59Let's go.
01:17:00Let's go.
01:17:01Let's go.
01:17:02Let's go.
01:17:04Let's go.
01:17:17Let's go.
01:17:25Let's go.
01:17:55Let's go.
01:18:25Let's go.
01:18:55Let's go.
01:19:25Let's go.
01:19:56Why didn't you just use the blackmail again?
01:20:02Because.
01:20:04Because what?
01:20:05Because if I'd gone to a housemaster, it'd have all come out about James.
01:20:14So what?
01:20:15I mean, you're both been expelled.
01:20:22Lucky you.
01:20:23I couldn't do that.
01:20:24I couldn't do that.
01:20:26I love him.
01:20:30Oh, come on, guy.
01:20:31Look, I'm not going to pretend anymore.
01:20:34I'm sick of pretending.
01:20:35You think it's all a joke.
01:20:36Well, it's not.
01:20:37I'm not going to love women.
01:20:39I'm not going to love women.
01:20:39Don't be ridiculous.
01:20:40Martin only knew that about himself when he was ten.
01:20:43He told me.
01:20:44You can't possibly know a thing like that at ten or now.
01:20:46Yes, you can.
01:20:47Look, it doesn't come as any great revelation.
01:20:52It's like admitting to yourself something you've always known, owning up to yourself.
01:20:57It's a great relief in some ways.
01:21:01You can't trust intuitions like that.
01:21:04Oh, but what else is there?
01:21:05Are you a communist because you read Karl Marx?
01:21:07No.
01:21:08You read Karl Marx because you know you are a communist.
01:21:11Well, I'm very sorry.
01:21:12Well, thanks.
01:21:13That's our friend's real.
01:21:19I'm sorry.
01:21:23You're quite right.
01:21:23That was patronizing and unforgivable.
01:21:28She couldn't help it, could you?
01:21:29Because in your heart of hearts, like Barclay and Delahaye and Fowler and Mingy's,
01:21:38you still believe, in spite of your talk of equality and fraternity, you still believe
01:21:42some people are better than others because of the way they make love.
01:21:51Well, think of that for a lifetime.
01:21:58Think of the names.
01:21:59It's a pansy, Nancy, fairy, fruit, brown nose.
01:22:13Look, um, this hurts like hell.
01:22:17I'm, I'm going to walk it off.
01:22:21Coming?
01:22:21You're about to settle, then, Donald.
01:22:29Thanks.
01:22:30I mean, well, thanks.
01:22:33Benedict can't complain.
01:22:34I've want him time and game.
01:22:35I'm going to walk it off.
01:22:36I'm going to walk it off.
01:22:37Good.
01:22:37Here they are.
01:22:38Wonderful news.
01:22:39Devenish is staying on after all.
01:22:42It's most generous for you to offer, Judd, but you can keep your principles untarnished now.
01:22:48But I have a disappointment for you, Bernard.
01:22:52Though it can hardly come as a surprise after recent events.
01:22:56I'm afraid I shall be nominating Devenish for the gods next time instead of you.
01:23:08You bastard.
01:23:09You really gave me no choice, Guy.
01:23:13Don't you ever call me by my Christian name again.
01:23:17Ever.
01:23:18You were easily bought.
01:23:21Well, my father was a god himself when I told him.
01:23:25Oh, yes.
01:23:25And your son will be a god and your son's son, even until the end of the school.
01:23:29Look, we saved the house from Fowler.
01:23:31We saved your conscience.
01:23:32Oh, yes.
01:23:33All problems solved for life.
01:23:34No commies and no queers.
01:23:36Don't let's quarrel.
01:23:38We've all got to live together next term.
01:23:40Let's try and do it as amicably as possible, shall we?
01:23:48It isn't the end of the world.
01:24:11Isn't it?
01:24:18When people like Mingy's rule the world.
01:24:23Do you want to be ambassador in Paris?
01:24:27Oh, Bennett, yes.
01:24:30Nice enough chap.
01:24:33Quite amusing, actually.
01:24:34We had high hopes of him once, but, oh, yes, you heard.
01:24:38Not quite one of us.
01:24:42Bogota, do you think?
01:24:43No, maybe not.
01:24:44Haiti, isn't that coming up?
01:24:45That's much more his line, you see.
01:24:46He was never a god.
01:24:51Only ever an ordinary prefect.
01:25:00No need to be even that.
01:25:08Oh, yes, there is.
01:25:09If I'm spending the rest of my life
01:25:16hiding my true nature
01:25:18and taking every comfort that's going when it is going.
01:25:24Oh, well, if that's your attitude.
01:25:25And besides, being absolutely objective would dish me once and for all, wouldn't it?
01:25:34You can't have things both ways, guys.
01:25:36Why not?
01:25:38Ow!
01:25:41Why not?
01:25:42Let's pretend to do one thing, but you really do the other.
01:25:49Fool the swine.
01:25:52Play along with them.
01:25:53Let them think what they like.
01:25:54Let them despise you, but all along.
01:25:55Don't talk drivel.
01:25:58And if the last laugh would be revenge.
01:26:00That's just sentimental twaddle.
01:26:02You wouldn't be in the mess you are now
01:26:03if you had any discretion at all.
01:26:10What better cover for someone like me
01:26:12than total indiscretion?
01:26:14Wouldn't it be wonderful if communism were really true?
01:26:26It is true.
01:26:30What? Heaven on earth?
01:26:31Earth on earth.
01:26:34The just earth.
01:26:44Of course, Tommy was killed in the Spanish Civil War.
01:26:54Tough as old boots, Tommy was.
01:26:59Till the bloody fascists got him.
01:27:06Have you ever wanted to go back?
01:27:14Is there nobody that you'd want to see?
01:27:22Nope.
01:27:24Isn't there anything you miss at all?
01:27:31I...
01:27:32I miss the cricket.
01:27:44We may not count her armies
01:27:56We may not see her king
01:28:02Her fortress is a faithful heart
01:28:08Her pride is suffering
01:28:12And soul by soul
01:28:18And silently
01:28:19Her shining bounds
01:28:23Increased
01:28:26And her weight
01:28:29The weight
01:28:30Of gentleness
