00:00:00You
00:02:00Then let us see what we can do here.
00:02:13Mel Mott.
00:02:31Mel Mott.
00:02:33Mel Mott.
00:02:35Mel Mott.
00:02:36Mel Mott.
00:02:37Well, what about him?
00:02:39Mel Mott.
00:02:40Mel Mott.
00:02:41Mel Mott.
00:02:42Office, family, taken a house in Grosvenor Square.
00:02:47What is his business?
00:02:48What is his business?
00:02:49Money.
00:02:50Mel Mott.
00:02:51Mel Mott.
00:02:52Mel Mott.
00:02:53Mel Mott.
00:02:54Mel Mott.
00:02:55The circus dog.
00:02:56Wait a minute.
00:02:57I've heard of this man.
00:02:58Didn't his bank collapse in Vienna?
00:03:00I dare say it did.
00:03:02But Mel Mott got out scot-free with a cool million.
00:03:05Well, I've heard the man's a Jew and a swindler and a scoundrel, and I shan't know him.
00:03:12That's all very well done, staff.
00:03:15Can you afford not to know him?
00:03:18I'm damned if I can.
00:03:27You're five and another ten.
00:03:29Apparently there's a daughter.
00:03:31Is there?
00:03:32What does she look like?
00:03:33It's hardly the point, Felix.
00:03:34She's supposed to be worth a hundred thousand.
00:03:37I hear it's twice that.
00:03:39Anyway, don't look at the mantelpiece when you're stoking the fire.
00:03:43What?
00:03:44That's caddish, Grendel.
00:03:45Oh, I beg your pardon, Sir Felix.
00:03:47Come on.
00:03:48Are you in or are you out?
00:03:49Out.
00:03:51Out.
00:03:53I'll see you.
00:03:59Damn.
00:04:00Damn.
00:04:03You'd better go and have a look at Miss Mel Mott after all.
00:04:07Yes.
00:04:08Very amusing.
00:04:09Nord.
00:04:10What a long face.
00:04:27Who is it, Hitta?
00:04:30It's Mr Wakeham, the wine merchant.
00:04:32At this hour?
00:04:34That's quite beyond the pale.
00:04:37Professor.
00:04:38Shh.
00:04:39He's going away.
00:04:40Who's that?
00:04:41It's Mr Brown and Mr Alf.
00:04:44The two cleverest men in London, Hitta.
00:04:45Here, in my poor little salon.
00:04:46No, no, Lady Carberry.
00:04:47Too kind.
00:04:48Too kind.
00:04:49Not a bit of it, not a bit of it.
00:04:50Without your great newspapers to tell us how should we know what to think.
00:04:53He's going away.
00:04:55Who's that?
00:04:56It's Mr Brown and Mr Alf.
00:04:58The two cleverest men in London, Hitta.
00:05:03Here, in my poor little salon.
00:05:05No, no, Lady Carberry, too kind.
00:05:07Too kind.
00:05:08In my poor little cell.
00:05:11No, no, Lady Carberry, too kind.
00:05:13Too kind.
00:05:14Not a bit of it, not a bit of it,
00:05:16without your great newspapers to tell us
00:05:18how should we know what to think.
00:05:23But will you be kind to my poor little book?
00:05:26Mm-hm.
00:05:26Criminal queens, Cleopatra, Mary Queen, Scots,
00:05:40Murray, Antoinette.
00:05:42Powerful women as the playthings of love.
00:05:46Good heavens.
00:05:49Oh, Mr. Alf, I quake already in anticipation.
00:05:56Will you be as cruel to me as you were to poor Mrs Eppington Stubbs?
00:06:00Will you tell me I'd much better sit at home and darn my stockings?
00:06:04That's as big as I find, Lady Carberry.
00:06:06Well, no amount of critical severity
00:06:09will make me receive you otherwise than with a smile.
00:06:12But do, I beg you, bear in mind that authorship
00:06:17is my only means of providing for my poor children.
00:06:22I don't see how that bears in the literary merit of the work,
00:06:25ma'am.
00:06:26And as for your son, I would have thought
00:06:28he'd be providing for himself by now.
00:06:30I mean, he's not a cripple or an imbecile, I take it?
00:06:32No, no, Alf.
00:06:35Well, good evening, Lady Carberry.
00:06:37Good night, Mr. Alf.
00:06:38Be gentle with my little literary effort.
00:06:40As gentle as you can be.
00:06:42Oh, dear.
00:06:43Just wait a moment, my dear friend.
00:06:45There's something I'd like to consult you about.
00:06:47I've received an invitation from someone called Melmott.
00:06:51Madam Melmott of Grosvenor Square is holding a ball.
00:06:54Who is this person, Mr. Brown?
00:06:55Should one accept her invitations?
00:06:56I understand that all London has been invited,
00:06:59and all London intends to go.
00:07:01The prince will be there.
00:07:02Shall you be there, Mr. Brown?
00:07:03I shall indeed, Lady Carberry.
00:07:04Then I shall follow your lead.
00:07:05I value your guidance so much in this perplexing modern world.
00:07:09Supporting my family single-handedly, as I do,
00:07:11with nothing but my name and my name and my name and my name and my name and my name and my name.
00:07:17You will never be unprotected while I am here, Lady Carberry.
00:07:45Oh.
00:07:48Mr. Brown.
00:07:52Ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:07:55Beg your pardon!
00:07:57How do you do, Mr. Brown?
00:07:59Carry on, carry on.
00:08:00Don't mind me.
00:08:01A little bit of spooning.
00:08:02Don't shock me, you know.
00:08:04Oh, Felix!
00:08:05I'll take my leave, Lady Carberry.
00:08:07I think it's best.
00:08:09If you think so.
00:08:10Abby and two, then.
00:08:12Yes, yes.
00:08:14Good night.
00:08:21Must you, Felix?
00:08:23Yes, as I find a must.
00:08:25Oh, Felix, I wish you'd leave your tobacco behind when you come in here.
00:08:30Well, for you, Mother.
00:08:32I wonder, Mother, could you let me have 20 pounds?
00:08:39Felix, I can't afford to pay the wine merchant.
00:08:41I'm not giving you 20 pounds to fritter away at the Bear Garden if I...
00:08:45Who said anything about the Bear Garden Club?
00:08:47Mother!
00:08:49I...
00:08:50I...
00:08:51I'm about to recover the family fortunes.
00:08:53Aren't you always telling me I've got to find myself a nice rich girl and marry her?
00:08:57Well, I've found one.
00:08:58Name's Marie Melmot.
00:08:59Quarter of a million, guaranteed.
00:09:01Now, I intend to try for her.
00:09:04But I'll need a little something, you know, to set out my shop front, shan't I?
00:09:08I can't go round to Grosvenor Square like a beggar, can I?
00:09:13Felix.
00:09:15Hmm?
00:09:17Do you really think you can bring this off?
00:09:19I'll try, Mother.
00:09:21For you.
00:09:22And Heta.
00:09:24You are a good dear boy.
00:09:30Oh, yes.
00:09:32Heta, what is it?
00:09:33Mother, don't you know he'll go and lose it at cards like all the rest?
00:09:36You might as well just throw your money out of the window.
00:09:38Lord, can't a fellow have a game of cards now?
00:09:40I'd be happy for you to play night and day if you want any money at it.
00:09:43And I'd be happy for you to lose it if it were your own money, but it isn't.
00:09:46It's all we have to live on.
00:09:47Oh, Lord.
00:09:49And should you encourage him to be such a shameless fortune hunter?
00:09:52Shouldn't marriage have something to do with love? I only ask.
00:09:55I'm married for love, Heta.
00:09:56And watch the man I love turn into a heartless brute.
00:09:59If your brother is generous enough to put his wishes last
00:10:02so that you can have the freedom to please yourself,
00:10:05then I think you should be grateful rather than otherwise.
00:10:09Well put, Mother.
00:10:11There's no need to thank me, Heta.
00:10:16To you tomorrow morning, then.
00:10:17Where are you going to at this hour?
00:10:19Urgent unfinished business.
00:10:20Don't forget we're going to the country tomorrow.
00:10:22I'm back.
00:10:23I'm back.
00:10:24You blood at the table.
00:10:25Look lively, lads.
00:10:26Steal me in.
00:10:27Count them.
00:10:28Well, I'll see.
00:10:29Well, not too closely.
00:10:30Quite too closely.
00:10:31Well, well, well, well, well.
00:10:32Would you believe it?
00:10:33Lucky at cards, unlucky in love.
00:10:34Unlucky in love.
00:10:35Lucky at cards, unlucky in love.
00:10:36Well, well, well, well.
00:10:57Would you believe it?
00:11:00Lucky cards, unlucky in love.
00:11:06Looks like a damn fine, clear, cold day.
00:11:14Apparently it's a spot of hunting, Felix.
00:11:17Oh, God.
00:11:18Are you sure you're up to it, Logstar?
00:11:20Three things I can do in any condition.
00:11:22Ride, shoot.
00:11:25I forgot the other one.
00:11:27Anyway, what do you say?
00:11:29Sorry, Dolly.
00:11:30I promised my cousin today, your neighbour, the beastly boy,
00:11:33but there we are.
00:11:34Roger Carberry, finest fellow in England.
00:11:37I won't hear a word said against him.
00:11:39Heart of Oak, and so on.
00:11:41Bit of a dull dog, after all that.
00:11:43Exactly.
00:11:45Mind you, there's some pretty scenery thereabouts.
00:11:50We are.
00:11:51We are.
00:11:52We are.
00:11:53We are.
00:11:54We are.
00:12:57Thank you, Ben.
00:12:58Oh, good Lord.
00:12:59Only just in time.
00:13:00I'm so glad you could be here when they came.
00:13:02Here we are.
00:13:03You made good time.
00:13:04The great thing about the railways is they're so reliable.
00:13:08Lady Carbridge, you know my ward, Paul Montagu.
00:13:09Mr. Montagu?
00:13:10Mr. Montagu?
00:13:11The last time we met you, you were about 12 years old and getting into fearful scrapes
00:13:17at school, as I recall.
00:13:18And my son, Sir Felix.
00:13:19How do you do?
00:13:20My daughter, Petter.
00:13:21Hello.
00:13:22Hello, Roger.
00:13:23Miss Carbridge?
00:13:24Mr. Montagu?
00:13:25The last time we met you, you were about 12 years old and getting into fearful scrapes
00:13:30at school, as I recall.
00:13:31And my son, Sir Felix.
00:13:32How do you do?
00:13:33My daughter, Petter.
00:13:34Hello.
00:13:35Hello, Roger.
00:13:36Miss Carbridge?
00:13:37Mr. Montagu.
00:13:38The last time you saw Hedda, she must have been a very small girl.
00:13:41Do you think she's turned out well?
00:13:42Mother.
00:13:43Yes.
00:13:44Well, uh, shall we go inside?
00:13:47Ah, Carbridge.
00:13:48I thought I might borrow a mount off.
00:13:49You would admire the local scenery.
00:13:50Is it all right?
00:13:51Yes.
00:13:52Certainly, if you wish.
00:14:00Yes.
00:14:01Certainly, if you wish.
00:14:24Why Ruby?
00:14:25What a pleasant surprise.
00:14:27Surprise my fur?
00:14:29I've been waiting and waiting for you.
00:14:36Roger Carbridge is the best man I know.
00:14:39I owe so much to him.
00:14:42Well, you could see that Oxford and Barr meant nothing to me.
00:14:48I wanted a different life.
00:14:51Get into engineering and go west.
00:14:53Go west?
00:14:54Yes.
00:14:55New York first.
00:14:56Then the Midwest.
00:14:57Then California.
00:14:58Texas.
00:14:59New Mexico.
00:15:00How I should love that.
00:15:01What did you do there?
00:15:02Cattle.
00:15:03Property.
00:15:04Roads and bridges.
00:15:05Stringing the telegraph way up into the Sierras.
00:15:07But railways are still the biggest thing out there.
00:15:08I'm convinced of it.
00:15:09I've put all my inheritance into a partnership.
00:15:10And we're going to build a railroad right down into Mexico.
00:15:14From Salt Lake City.
00:15:152,000 miles to Vera Cruz.
00:15:16And if it weren't for Roger Carberry, I should probably be cooped up in some pokey chambers
00:15:21in the city.
00:15:22Yes, he is a dear, good man.
00:15:24Why do you say he's not there?
00:15:25I'm not there.
00:15:26I'm convinced of it.
00:15:27I've put all my inheritance into a partnership.
00:15:28And we're going to build a railroad right down into Mexico.
00:15:31From Salt Lake City.
00:15:322,000 miles to Vera Cruz.
00:15:36And if it weren't for Roger Carberry, I should probably be cooped up in some pokey chambers
00:15:43in the city.
00:15:44Why is he?
00:15:45Yes, he is a dear, good man.
00:15:48Why do you smile?
00:15:51I don't know.
00:15:54Because I'm having a good time, I guess.
00:15:58Why do you?
00:16:03The same, I suppose.
00:16:06I know she has feelings of fondness for me.
00:16:13Perhaps she's still too young to experience the kind of passionate attachment I feel on myself.
00:16:19No, Roger.
00:16:20Don't think she's too young.
00:16:22In fact, if I were you, I'd make my bid as soon as possible before anyone else does.
00:16:29You must take your courage in both hands, my dear friend.
00:16:33Faint heart, never one fair lady.
00:16:35Yes.
00:16:36Uh-uh.
00:16:37Yes.
00:16:38What are you doing in England now if your business is in that country?
00:16:42If your business is in Mexico.
00:16:44Oh, we're here to meet Melmott.
00:16:47Yet he's a great man for raising money.
00:16:50Melmott.
00:16:51How strange that everything should revolve around him.
00:16:55Shall you be at Madame Melmott's Ball?
00:16:59Yes, I guess so.
00:17:02Shall you?
00:17:04Yes, I shall.
00:17:09Well, I look forward to seeing you there.
00:17:12Longest half.
00:17:13Yes.
00:17:14Father and son.
00:17:15Grendel.
00:17:16Yes.
00:17:17Nitherdale.
00:17:18Yes.
00:17:19Ah.
00:17:20Prime Minister's decline.
00:17:21Well, you'll regret that.
00:17:22But we've got two cabinet ministers and a couple of ambassadors.
00:17:25Here.
00:17:26You make sure you dance with young Nitherdale.
00:17:27Do you hear?
00:17:28I don't like young Nitherdale, Pa.
00:17:29He's got nothing to say.
00:17:30And he's got a funny neck.
00:17:31Do you like who I tell you to like?
00:17:32His father owns South Scotland.
00:17:33He's land rich cash poor.
00:17:34And I call the rest of these dukes and lords.
00:17:36They'll come cap in hand tomorrow morning.
00:17:37Well, I won't like him.
00:17:38Whatever you say.
00:17:39Ah.
00:17:40Thomas.
00:17:41Oh, yes.
00:17:42Oh, yes.
00:17:43Oh, yes.
00:17:44Oh, yes.
00:17:45Oh, yes.
00:17:46Oh, yes.
00:17:47Oh, yes.
00:17:48Oh, yes.
00:17:49Oh, yes.
00:17:50Oh, yes.
00:17:51Oh, yes.
00:17:52Oh, yes.
00:17:53Oh, yes.
00:17:54Oh, yes.
00:17:55Oh, yes.
00:17:56Oh, yes.
00:17:57Oh, yes.
00:17:58Oh, yes.
00:17:59Oh, yes.
00:18:00Oh, yes.
00:18:02Oh, you stupid woman.
00:18:03Cannot you get one simple thing right?
00:18:04And as for you, you'll do as I say.
00:18:08Do you hear?
00:18:09And you'll like who I tell you to like?
00:18:11Do you hear?
00:18:12Not listening.
00:18:13You hear?
00:18:14Not listening.
00:18:16Not listening.
00:18:18Come here.
00:18:19Come here.
00:18:24Listen.
00:18:25It will be magnificent.
00:18:39They will come.
00:18:42They will.
00:18:48You're welcome.
00:18:52Good evening.
00:18:53You're very welcome.
00:18:55Thank you, Mr. Romo.
00:18:59It must have been alright.
00:19:20Sheldon?
00:19:21I'm a bit of my daughter.
00:19:23It's thrilled to meet you, sir.
00:19:24I'm thrilled to meet you.
00:19:27It's lovely to meet you.
00:19:29Good evening.
00:19:30No, no, no.
00:19:31No, no, no, no.
00:19:31No, no, no.
00:19:32Andrew.
00:19:35Good evening.
00:19:39I hardly know a soul.
00:19:42You're very welcome.
00:19:46Very welcome.
00:19:48You're very welcome.
00:19:52Good evening.
00:19:52Good evening.
00:19:53Good evening.
00:19:54You're very welcome.
00:19:55Mm-hmm.
00:20:04My daughter.
00:20:09Very welcome.
00:20:11Good evening.
00:20:21Good evening.
00:20:21Unknown.
00:20:21Oh, my God.
00:20:29And I thank you very much for coming.
00:20:31Miss Calvary?
00:20:33It's to Montague.
00:20:38May I request the pleasure of this dance?
00:20:45I don't think I know this one.
00:20:47I'll gladly teach you, if you like.
00:20:54Round.
00:20:56One.
00:20:58Two.
00:20:59Round.
00:21:08A very quick study, Mr. Montague.
00:21:10Easy to learn with such a good teacher.
00:21:20Good.
00:21:24So tell me, what are the balls like in California and Texas?
00:21:27Not quite so full, no?
00:21:29In Texas, they often end up fisticuffs and gunplay.
00:21:34But...
00:21:35The well-known author, am I right?
00:21:37Yes.
00:21:39Lady Carvey, ain't it?
00:21:58Ah, the well-known authoress. Am I right?
00:22:02Yes.
00:22:03Mr. Velvod.
00:22:06You flatter me.
00:22:07Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not at all.
00:22:10I'm just making my business to know who's who and what's what, ma'am.
00:22:14Very happy to see you here at Grosvenor Square, ma'am.
00:22:17Happy indeed.
00:22:34Go, go, go.
00:22:37There's a shadow of the bedsheet, which looks exactly like you.
00:22:41Can you see these figures here are the teeth.
00:22:44And they're going, I call it, I can make them chew.
00:22:46As you see, I can make them open and shut.
00:22:49That's awfully good.
00:22:51What a strange creature Marie Melwood is.
00:22:55She seems to have plenty of admirers.
00:22:59Should you like to have some, lady?
00:23:04One that I truly liked would be quite enough.
00:23:06Shall we dance again?
00:23:13I've already danced with you twice.
00:23:16Is there a law around here about dancing three times?
00:23:19Not that I know of.
00:23:21Is there in Texas?
00:23:24There aren't very many laws of any kind in Texas.
00:23:27Even less in Mexico.
00:23:28I think I'd like Texas and Mexico.
00:23:34I think they'd like you.
00:23:35Because there's a law.
00:24:05And Carberry goes into an early lead.
00:24:25Nidderdale lengthens to 72.
00:24:27Grendel 20s.
00:24:29Longstaff nowhere.
00:24:35Well, good luck to him.
00:24:39Melmott won't come up to my governor's price.
00:24:42She's a queer little thing, ain't she?
00:24:49Thought we'd get a little fresh air.
00:24:56How well you dance.
00:24:58Do I?
00:25:00No one ever told me that before.
00:25:03No one ever tells me anything.
00:25:05Anything nice, I mean.
00:25:08Well, let me see.
00:25:14I'll tell you what you would like best in all the world.
00:25:17And what is that?
00:25:19Someone who liked you best in all the world.
00:25:22But who would like me best in all the world?
00:25:25No one, I think.
00:25:26Oh, yes.
00:25:27There is someone.
00:25:30Don't you know?
00:25:33Can't you tell?
00:25:34Don't tease me, Sir Felix.
00:25:37Nobody will ever like me best in all the world.
00:25:40Oh, but you're wrong.
00:25:42You're wrong.
00:25:47I do.
00:25:48I don't know.
00:25:49I don't know.
00:25:49I don't know.
00:25:49I don't know.
00:25:50I don't know.
00:25:50I don't know.
00:25:51I don't know.
00:25:51I don't know.
00:25:52I don't know.
00:25:52I don't know.
00:25:53I don't know.
00:25:53I don't know.
00:25:54I don't know.
00:25:54I don't know.
00:25:55I don't know.
00:25:55I don't know.
00:25:56I don't know.
00:25:56I don't know.
00:25:57I don't know.
00:25:57I don't know.
00:25:58I don't know.
00:25:58I don't know.
00:25:59I don't know.
00:25:59I don't know.
00:26:00I don't know.
00:26:00I don't know.
00:26:01I don't know.
00:26:01I don't know.
00:26:02I don't know.
00:26:02I don't know.
00:26:03I don't know.
00:26:04Oh, feelings, feelings.
00:26:21You, here.
00:26:40Why not?
00:26:41The evening pulpit goes everywhere.
00:26:44Oh, look, here comes the Prince.
00:26:50Oh, now, what will they do with him now they've caught him?
00:27:20I wouldn't have missed this for anything.
00:27:32I wouldn't have missed this for anything.
00:27:44I wouldn't have missed this for anything.
00:27:54I wouldn't have missed this for anything.
00:27:58I wouldn't have missed this for anything.
00:28:12I wouldn't have missed this for anything.
00:28:26I wouldn't have missed this for anything.
00:28:28I wouldn't have missed this for anything.
00:28:32I wouldn't have missed this for anything.
00:28:48I wouldn't have missed this for anything.
00:28:50I wouldn't have missed this for anything.
00:28:52Well, I really think I should be going.
00:29:13Oh, come on, Alfred. One more hand won't hurt you.
00:29:16It's Lord Alfred, if you don't mind.
00:29:18Caught people by their prop and eggs.
00:29:20Well, if you want me to make you rich, Alfred,
00:29:23you'll take me as you find me and do what I ask of you.
00:29:27Now, one more hand.
00:29:37Good.
00:29:37Here.
00:29:40Now, deal the cards, my boy.
00:29:50There's something wrong with this door.
00:30:02There's an impress...
00:30:03Shh.
00:30:04Roger's in there with Heta.
00:30:06Ah, well, enough said.
00:30:19Fat chance.
00:30:24I've loved you for so long.
00:30:27I've watched you change from the loveliest girl
00:30:29into the loveliest woman in the world.
00:30:36Could you love me as I love you?
00:30:40Could you be my wife?
00:30:44The mother of my children?
00:30:45I'm so sorry, Roger.
00:30:53I don't think I could.
00:30:57You refuse me?
00:30:59Roger, I do love you.
00:31:02I always have done, ever since I was a little girl, but...
00:31:06Not in the way that you mean.
00:31:12But that could grow.
00:31:15I don't think so.
00:31:19I don't think...
00:31:21I could ever love you as you would wish.
00:31:25And it would be wrong for us to marry
00:31:27if I didn't love you in that way.
00:31:29Perhaps I am not
00:31:36one of those girls
00:31:37who ought to marry at all.
00:31:40At any rate,
00:31:41I...
00:31:41I should like to do something with myself.
00:31:44Something in the world
00:31:45before I settle down.
00:31:46What sort of something?
00:31:50Heta, are you being entirely honest with me?
00:31:55Is there someone else
00:31:56who has gained your affections?
00:31:57No.
00:31:59No one has spoken to me of love but you.
00:32:04Then I can still hope.
00:32:05I wish you would not, Roger.
00:32:07I don't think you understand me.
00:32:09All I care about in life is bound up in you.
00:32:11I don't say that.
00:32:12Now, please, hear me out.
00:32:14I beg you, Heta.
00:32:16You have to know
00:32:16that only you have the power to make me happy.
00:32:21And I would move heaven on earth
00:32:23to make you happy, too.
00:32:24I can wait
00:32:29so long as there is a shred of hope.
00:32:32I have proposed to Heta
00:32:45and she has refused.
00:32:47Silly, silly girl.
00:32:50I'm so sorry.
00:32:51But she has given me leave to hope.
00:32:55I shan't give up.
00:32:57Well, mind you don't.
00:33:00Now, would you have that word with Felix
00:33:03as you promised?
00:33:04Please, please, dear friend.
00:33:07Very well.
00:33:14Oh, can't be.
00:33:16Morning.
00:33:16I was just on my way out, actually.
00:33:18You can spare ten minutes from your busy life.
00:33:21Sit down.
00:33:25Very well.
00:33:26But I won't do any good, you know.
00:33:29It's all very well preaching to people who are good
00:33:32but nothing will come from preaching to people who ain't good.
00:33:36Water off a dutch back.
00:33:37Can't be helped.
00:33:38It can be helped and it will.
00:33:41This can't go on, Felix.
00:33:43You've wasted all your inheritance
00:33:45and now you appear to be set upon wasting your mother's.
00:33:47If you're talking about the 20 pounds I had on for the other evening,
00:33:50you ought to know that's laid out in a very good cause indeed.
00:33:53Now, why don't you just sit down with me
00:33:54and eat a grilled chop like a good fellow?
00:33:58Get any luck with Heta, by the way?
00:34:00Never mind that.
00:34:01What I do know is that every penny you lay your hands on
00:34:05goes straight into your friends' pockets at the gaming table.
00:34:08I know very well what I'm doing.
00:34:10Yes.
00:34:11Bringing your mother and sister to beggary.
00:34:14You know nothing of my affairs.
00:34:17In fact, in fact,
00:34:19I hope to be able to support them both very soon
00:34:21and in a finer style than they have ever known.
00:34:24I don't suppose you've heard of Miss Melmott.
00:34:26I've heard of a swindler called Melmott
00:34:28who has lately come over from Paris
00:34:30and is buying his way into society.
00:34:32Hmm.
00:34:33Just so.
00:34:34And he could buy and sell you or me a hundred times over.
00:34:36Well, I expect very soon
00:34:38to be able to announce my engagement to his daughter
00:34:41with a fortune of half a million.
00:34:43All right?
00:34:44All right?
00:34:45Is that enough to satisfy you?
00:34:46You're a fool, Felix,
00:34:48if you're setting all your hopes on that.
00:34:50If Melmott could buy anyone he liked for his daughter,
00:34:53why on earth should he choose you?
00:34:57Because she loves me.
00:34:59Old boy.
00:35:00And I am a baronet.
00:35:02Oh, boy.
00:35:03I know, I know, I know virtue ought to triumph and all that,
00:35:08but that ain't the way the world works.
00:35:11Sorry.
00:35:15I enjoyed our chat.
00:35:20You'll ruin your sister
00:35:22and break your mother's heart.
00:35:25You'll ruin your mother's heart.
00:35:55Ah, for Miss Melmott.
00:35:58I'm from Sir Felix Carberry.
00:36:00I won't come in,
00:36:01press and affairs of business.
00:36:03Good day to you.
00:36:25Tomorrow to set up the business side of things.
00:36:32I'll be overseeing the actual thing itself,
00:36:34the planning, surveying,
00:36:35eventually building the railway.
00:36:37And you want to get this man, Melmott, involved?
00:36:40Well, he's the only man in Europe for raising capital,
00:36:42so everyone says.
00:36:46I don't like what I've heard of him, Paul.
00:36:47People say all sorts of things.
00:36:50He's a bit coarse, I dare say.
00:36:53I was at his house last night, huge place.
00:36:56Your cousins were there.
00:36:58Yes, I know.
00:37:02What a lovely girl, Heather Carberry is.
00:37:04Yes, she is.
00:37:09She's the loveliest girl in England.
00:37:16There's something I want to tell you, Paul.
00:37:18I've...
00:37:19I've offered my hand to Heather Carberry in marriage.
00:37:23And has she accepted?
00:37:31No.
00:37:32Not as yet, no.
00:37:34She needs time to get used to the idea.
00:37:37But everything in life, to me, depends upon it, Paul.
00:37:44Oh, God, sorry.
00:37:53I think I may count on your sympathy.
00:38:01I must have told me this before, Roger.
00:38:03Before?
00:38:04Why should I have told you before?
00:38:06Before what?
00:38:09Before you introduced us.
00:38:13Oh, come on.
00:38:15Come on, Paul.
00:38:16This isn't a joking matter.
00:38:18I'm not joking, Roger.
00:38:21But you've barely spoken to the girl.
00:38:23Hey, Heather Carberry is the one and only lover of my life.
00:38:30And she loves me, too.
00:38:31She said so.
00:38:34I promise me you will abandon this fancy, Paul.
00:38:37Anyway, aren't you involved with a woman whom you told me you wanted to marry?
00:38:41Just as much only a year ago.
00:38:42It's all over.
00:38:46Oh, hardly a model of constancy.
00:38:52Roger.
00:38:53Let's not break our friendship over this.
00:38:59If Heather really loves you and wants to marry you, I shan't try to interfere.
00:39:05Anyway, I've got my work cut out with this railway business.
00:39:09I shall stay out of your way for a while.
00:39:10Look, here's where we break off from the San Francisco line, right here at Salt Lake City.
00:39:34And then it is down through Arizona, and then New Mexico, and all the way through Mexico City, and then out at the Gulf at Veracruz.
00:39:45Look at that.
00:39:46Now, that is one hell of a railway, boy.
00:39:48And we're really going to build it.
00:39:49It's you and me, pal.
00:39:52And look at this.
00:39:53You see this?
00:39:53This is a detailed business plan.
00:39:56Forward investment and profit forecast.
00:39:58Fort Caspi, you know what?
00:39:59You don't have to worry about any of that.
00:40:01You let me deal with that, because that's my department.
00:40:04Well, we've got the concession from the U.S. Congress.
00:40:07I'm all set up to open up offices, Mexico City, Veracruz.
00:40:11So when can I go out there and get some work started?
00:40:14All right, just as soon as we get our finances sewn up here, all that we have to do now is sell it.
00:40:28Well, more than company.
00:40:31All the pokey premises for the greatest financier in Europe, don't you think?
00:40:36These great men have their own way of doing things, Paul.
00:40:44Good morning, gentlemen.
00:40:56Mr. Hamilton K. Fisker and Mr. Paul Montague to see Mr. Melmont.
00:41:02He's expecting you.
00:41:03The South Central Pacific and Mexican Railway.
00:41:17Would anyone want to take a train from Salt Lake City to Veracruz?
00:41:26I wouldn't.
00:41:27Yes, but there are thousands who would, sir, and we're talking about opening up a whole
00:41:36continent for trade.
00:41:38That's so?
00:41:40You have a very nice turn of phrase, Mr. Montague, but I'm just a plain man of business.
00:41:47I like to stick to practical matters.
00:41:55All right, then, Mr. Fisker, how far have you got?
00:41:57Well, we've got the concession from Congress in principle.
00:42:02We're to have the land for free, of course.
00:42:05And we are all set up to float the company in New York, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Chicago.
00:42:11And I can tell you that they are going wild.
00:42:15The price of shares is forecast to go right through the roof just as soon as this issue
00:42:20goes public.
00:42:22Oh, is that?
00:42:22So what do you want me for?
00:42:35Chairman of the English Board of Directors, I suppose.
00:42:38Exactly, sir.
00:42:40And I can assure you that if you gave yourself up to it, heart and soul, Mr. Melmont, it
00:42:46would be the finest thing out.
00:42:49There would be such a mass of stock.
00:42:54And the rest of the board?
00:42:55Up to you, sir.
00:42:58Well, we get a few names.
00:43:01Lords, dukes, baronets, that sort of thing.
00:43:04And that's just about what I thought myself, Mr. Melmont.
00:43:11This kind of thing, it can only be brought off once in a lifetime, you know.
00:43:21That's it, sir, exactly.
00:43:23That's what's so splendid about it.
00:43:26Or perhaps one should say, only once in each continent.
00:43:30That's very good, Mr. Montague, once in each continent.
00:43:38I would say you were just about right.
00:43:41Yeah, Gru?
00:43:43Hmm.
00:43:44Hmm.
00:43:48All right, gentlemen, I'll look into it.
00:43:50I won't say any more just now.
00:43:51But if this thing is properly set up, we could do business together.
00:44:01Well, it's no go, Mr. Melmont.
00:44:21Who says?
00:44:22It's too big.
00:44:24Too risky.
00:44:25I know it's a big idea.
00:44:28It's a beautiful idea.
00:44:29A railway across half the continent, I should say.
00:44:32Yeah, but the cost of building it could soak up ten times the value of the capital raised and bankrupt us all.
00:44:39It's all a matter of confidence, Crow.
00:44:42This is the kind of opportunity that happens once in a lifetime.
00:44:46And who better than Melmont and Company to bring it off?
00:44:49I tell you the truth now.
00:44:51I can't resist it.
00:44:53I'm sorry.
00:44:54I don't know.
00:45:24Well, Mother, I'm going to be a director of the Mexican Railway, invited by Melmott himself.
00:45:38Oh, Felix, what wonderful news! Mr. Melmott must think very highly of you.
00:45:46I can't think why. Are you sure they haven't made a mistake?
00:45:49Why should they have? I'm rather good with money and all that sort of thing, you know?
00:45:53Yes, you're rather good at losing it, aren't you?
00:45:55Oh, very amusing.
00:45:56And begging for it and stealing it out of other people's purses. Yes, I do know that was you.
00:46:00I shan't stay and listen to this. Mother, tell her to stop.
00:46:03I hope Mr. Melmott's safe has a stout lock on it.
00:46:08Really, Hedda, that was rather unkind.
00:46:11This new post might be the making of Felix.
00:46:15Now, I think it's time I invited Marie Melmott to call on us.
00:46:30My lords, gentlemen,
00:46:54this inaugural dinner is to celebrate the formation
00:47:01of the English Board of Directors
00:47:03of the South Central Pacific and Mexican Railway Company.
00:47:13I'd like to extend our warmest wishes
00:47:15to our American partner, Mr. Fisker.
00:47:17Wish him a safe journey across the Atlantic to New York,
00:47:21where he will be talking up the shares over there.
00:47:29Those of you who know me
00:47:32will know that I am a man of few words.
00:47:36All I want to say is
00:47:40this is going to be
00:47:44the biggest thing ever seen
00:47:47on either side of the Atlantic for 50 years.
00:47:53We'll be making history, gentlemen.
00:47:58And making money, too.
00:48:07To the South Central Pacific
00:48:09and the Mexican Railway.
00:48:12To the South Central Pacific
00:48:15and the Mexican Railway.
00:48:26You're a good fellow, Montague.
00:48:28We're all damn good fellows.
00:48:29This is a great thing we're on, you know.
00:48:31Yes.
00:48:32Glad you agree.
00:48:33Yes.
00:48:34And the great thing about being directors,
00:48:36you know,
00:48:37is that we don't have to do any work.
00:48:38The money just comes in by itself.
00:48:40It's wonderful.
00:48:41It's wonderful.
00:48:42I'm afraid I'll have to do quite a bit of work for my money, actually.
00:48:46Really?
00:48:47Really?
00:48:48Yes.
00:48:49Really?
00:48:50That's a shame.
00:48:51A good fellow like you.
00:48:52You're a good fellow.
00:48:54Hello.
00:49:10I don't think she needs to be encouraged as a writer.
00:49:13I hope she shows great promise.
00:49:15No.
00:49:16I have the utmost respect for our hostess,
00:49:18but her book is a bad book.
00:49:21It is a thoroughly rotted book.
00:49:23And I, for one, refuse to tout it.
00:49:25You see, I have more respect for my readers than that.
00:49:27But to praise a friend's book,
00:49:29it's just the way of the world.
00:49:31Everyone understands that.
00:49:32You seem to think it's the greatest historical work of the age.
00:49:36Oh, come, come.
00:49:37I didn't quite say that, you know.
00:49:38Mr. Brown, may I have a word?
00:49:43I'll never forget what you've done for me.
00:49:45Never.
00:49:46You're more than my duty, Lady Carverine.
00:49:48Much, much more.
00:49:50And I hope you'll learn to know
00:49:51that a woman can really be grateful.
00:49:57Mr. Alf,
00:49:58I forgive you.
00:50:00And I'm so glad you feel
00:50:02you can still come here as my friend.
00:50:04Madam Mailman.
00:50:05Your mama's not much of a one for talking, is she?
00:50:10No.
00:50:11And nobody's much for talking to her, either.
00:50:14Anyway, she's not my mama.
00:50:15She's my stepmother.
00:50:16Papa got rid of my real mama when I was just a little girl.
00:50:17Got rid of her?
00:50:18I see.
00:50:19How?
00:50:20I didn't know.
00:50:21She was there when we lived in Frankfurt.
00:50:24is she? No. And nobody's much for talking to her either. Anyway, she's not my mama. She's
00:50:34my stepmother. Papa got rid of my real mama when I was just a little girl. Got rid of
00:50:40her? I say. How? Didn't know. She was there when we lived in Frankfurt. We were so poor
00:50:51then. And then we were in New York. But by the time we were in Paris, he wasn't married
00:50:56to her. My poor, sweet darling. I know what you need. You need someone to take care of
00:51:07you and love you, don't you? Yes. I most certainly do. I'm not sure we should... Come on.
00:51:15Oh, Felix. Will you be that someone? Will you love me and take care of me? Well, yes,
00:51:29if you want me to.
00:51:36If it were up to me, but Papa settles everything.
00:51:45Lord, haven't I done enough? But you must make sure of her, Felix. Now, Madam Melmott told
00:51:54me they're going down to the country to stay with the Longstaffs for Whitson. Is that so?
00:52:00I didn't think they were that thick. Lady Pomona won't like it. Or Georgiana. That girl's the
00:52:04biggest snob in England. I hope they're not thinking of young Adolphus for Marie.
00:52:08Donny? No, no. No. Don't think so. They say at the club that Melmott wants to buy one of
00:52:16their old properties, Pickering Pile. Donny's not so keen to sell. It's come to him, you see.
00:52:21Maybe Melmott's thinking of throwing in Marie as part of the bargain. But he mustn't. Not now that
00:52:27you... It's quite distasteful that the poor girl should be used as a bargain encounter
00:52:33in a property sale. She has a heart. And she's entrusted it to my only son. I believe
00:52:40she has. There's no need to make those faces, Heta. We should be there too. We can stay with
00:52:50Roger and get ourselves invited over to Caversham for dinner. You can ask Papa then.
00:52:58All right. Oh, Felix. You are becoming quite a treasure. Dear, dear boy.
00:53:08I hope you're not expecting me to come as well, Mother. Of course you'll come. Why not?
00:53:13Well, don't you see it might be rather awkward for me? And for Roger too. That's nonsense.
00:53:20You've been going there since you were a little girl. And if Roger asks you again, I hope you'll
00:53:25have the good manners to accept. Really, Heta, it's most ungrateful of you. It's not as if
00:53:32you've had any other offers, is it? No, not as yet, Mother. Well then.
00:53:40Willie, Heta, you must learn to behave with more consideration. Dear.
00:53:47He's invited the Melmots. All of them. So I understand, Georgiana. But that foreign woman,
00:54:00who can barely speak a word of English. And that strange little monkey-faced creature of
00:54:04a daughter. I can understand going to a crush at their house in town when everybody else
00:54:08goes. One doesn't speak to them and one needn't see them afterwards. But to have them in one's
00:54:13own house? For how long? A week, I believe. Well, they are very wealthy, you know. It would
00:54:19be an idea if Adolphus could marry the daughter. Dolly will never marry anyone. He'd never take
00:54:24the trouble to ask a girl. Well, I'm sure I don't know what your papa is to do. Or how there
00:54:30is never any money for anything. I don't spend it. It really is too bad of papa.
00:54:37Oh, my dear Adolphus. I didn't think you'd come down.
00:54:41Papa wouldn't leave me alone till I said I would. Give him some tea, Georgiana.
00:54:45Oh, I'd sooner have a soda and brandy. Oh, Lord, here's the governor. Now for a row.
00:54:53Well, Adolphus, have you changed your mind? Well...
00:55:00No. Matter of fact, I haven't, Pa. Pickering Park's my inheritance and I shan't see it sold
00:55:06just to pay off the debts on Caversham. It ain't right and it ain't fair.
00:55:10Very well, then. You leave me with no alternative. My dear, we shall not be going back to London
00:55:16for the rest of the season. We cannot afford the expense.
00:55:21But, my dear, our ball is fixed. Then it must be unfixed.
00:55:31He doesn't mean it. He can't mean it, can he, Mama? I fear, my love, he does.
00:55:35But we must be in London for the rest of the season. I don't like to be indelicate,
00:55:39but if I'm to be married, I must meet men.
00:55:42And London is the only place where they are to be found.
00:55:45Do you really want me on your hands for the rest of your life, Mother?
00:55:50Oh, dear.
00:55:52Perhaps, after all, Mr. Melmott will do something for us.
00:55:56Here you are.
00:55:58This is so kind of you. What must you think of me inviting myself and my children?
00:56:04You're not so much as a buy or leave.
00:56:06Only that I'm delighted you should like to come again so soon.
00:56:09Can't imagine how it has raised my spirits, Hedda.
00:56:15Morning, Roger. Still here, then.
00:56:17There's more to life than Carberry, you know. You ought to get out a bit more.
00:56:20Or if I borrow a horse and take a little bit of a canter.
00:56:23Perfect. Take as long as you like.
00:56:24Thanks, I will.
00:56:28Oh!
00:56:29Oh!
00:56:30Oh!
00:56:31Oh!
00:56:32Oh!
00:56:33Oh!
00:56:34Oh!
00:56:35Oh!
00:56:36Oh!
00:56:37Oh!
00:56:38Oh!
00:56:39Oh!
00:56:40Oh!
00:56:41Oh!
00:56:42Oh!
00:56:43Oh, really?
00:56:44You know, I've never done that before. Not with anyone ever.
00:56:49Well, I should be sorry to hear that you had, Ruby.
00:56:52And you do love me, don't you?
00:56:54Of course I do. More than anything else in the whole world.
00:56:57Well, you better.
00:56:59Because there's ever such a lot of men who want to be my sweetheart.
00:57:02So you better behave yourself.
00:57:04Well, don't I? Always.
00:57:06I wish you'd come and see me more often.
00:57:09Yeah.
00:57:10Oh, you've got such soft skin. Soft as a little baby.
00:57:15Yeah.
00:57:16Oh, I say, Ruby, draw it mild.
00:57:21You know what?
00:57:23I think I'm gonna let you do it again.
00:57:25I love you that much.
00:57:27Yes, well, look here, Ruby. I'm not at all sure that I can.
00:57:30Oh, I am.
00:57:31I'm certain sure.
00:57:36I'm afraid I haven't been able to arrange much entertainment for you.
00:57:39My dear cousin, it was to escape the eternal parties that we came down here.
00:57:44Well, the bishop will be pleased to come and dine tomorrow.
00:57:48Well, I should be glad to see the bishop once more.
00:57:50Well, look, this article is about Mr Montague.
00:57:54Yes, he left it with me when he came.
00:57:56Could I borrow it?
00:57:58Of course, yes, if you wish.
00:58:09I have asked the Longstarts for Friday, but they won't come.
00:58:12I dare say they ought to have a house with guests themselves.
00:58:15Yes, I did know they were to have guests.
00:58:18The Melmots are coming to them.
00:58:21The Melmots?
00:58:22I fancy he wants a little pecuniary assistance, Roger.
00:58:26Well, you might well indeed, but I should have thought he would have kept such a man as Mr Melmott out of his wife's drawing room.
00:58:31Why should you dislike the Melmots so much, Roger?
00:58:33I don't dislike them.
00:58:34How should I dislike people I never saw?
00:58:37No, I...
00:58:38But I do dislike those who seek their society simply because they are rich.
00:58:42Meaning me, I suppose.
00:58:44Not meaning you, no.
00:58:45Of course I don't dislike you, as you very well know.
00:58:50No, I meant the Longstarts, then.
00:58:55But I can't say I'm happy to discover that you are come down to the country
00:58:58just because you knew the Melmots are to be a caption.
00:59:01Not just.
00:59:03You know how I love to be here.
00:59:05But I will admit to partly.
00:59:08Not for my own sake.
00:59:09I should never run after such a man.
00:59:11But for my poor son.
00:59:13Felix has spent every penny of his inheritance, as you know.
00:59:16But he does have other assets.
00:59:18He's good looking.
00:59:19He's a baronet.
00:59:20And I must say the girl seems quite in love with him.
00:59:23So he'll save his bacon by marrying her for her money.
00:59:26Well, what is wrong with that?
00:59:28It's nothing less than stealing her money.
00:59:30Oh, Roger.
00:59:32How hard you are.
00:59:33Does he feel anything at all for the girl?
00:59:36Well, I never...
00:59:37It's entirely beside the point, I suppose.
00:59:41Well, I have nothing more to say on the matter.
00:59:43It's no fear of mine.
00:59:44But when I'm told that the girl is in the neighborhood,
00:59:46in such a house as Caversham,
00:59:47and that Felix is coming down here to be near his prey,
00:59:50and that I am asked to be a party to such a thing,
00:59:52I can only say what I think.
00:59:54Felix is welcome here because he is your son and my cousin,
00:59:59but I wish he'd chosen some other place for the work he has in hand.
01:00:02If you wish it, we will return to London.
01:00:05I had hoped you'd be glad to see us,
01:00:07perhaps particularly glad to see my Hetta.
01:00:09Mother!
01:00:10But we have offended you,
01:00:12and I think we should leave.
01:00:14You are very harsh,
01:00:16and it crushes me.
01:00:18Of course you mustn't leave.
01:00:19If I've hurt you, I regret it very much.
01:00:21Let me beg your pardon, please.
01:00:24No more about going away.
01:00:25I shall return to my room.
01:00:27My head hurts so I can hardly speak.
01:00:32Shall I come with you?
01:00:33No, no.
01:00:34I shall be well.
01:00:35Stay with your cousin.
01:00:44Oh, that was badly done.
01:00:46No.
01:00:47You said what you thought.
01:00:48That was all.
01:00:49A gentleman should never be rough to a lady,
01:00:51and a man should never be rough to his own guests.
01:00:58I hope she will forgive me.
01:01:05Oh, Sir Felix, how delightful.
01:01:10Lady Tremona.
01:01:14Madame Melbourne.
01:01:20Beautiful gardens.
01:01:21For myself, I don't care much for gardens,
01:01:23but if one is to live in the countryside,
01:01:24this is the sort of place one would like.
01:01:26Oh.
01:01:27Carberry's a very poor place.
01:01:28For a small place,
01:01:29Carberry is very pleasant and pretty.
01:01:32Though it isn't extensive.
01:01:34Oh, no.
01:01:35By Jove, no.
01:01:36It's as pokey as a prison.
01:01:37You were in prison?
01:01:38Hmm?
01:01:39No.
01:01:40No, no.
01:01:41That was...
01:01:42That was...
01:01:43Is that your daughter there, madame?
01:01:47I must just...
01:01:57Miss Longstaff.
01:01:59Miss Melmott.
01:02:00Miss Longstaff.
01:02:03I'm sure you two would like to be left together?
01:02:16She doesn't like me.
01:02:17She doesn't like anyone.
01:02:19I'm very imperceptive of her.
01:02:21I like you very much indeed.
01:02:23I wonder, am I to believe that?
01:02:27Well, of course you are.
01:02:29Haven't I come all this way just to tell you so?
01:02:31And to ask you again.
01:02:33Will you accept me?
01:02:36Do you really love me well enough, Philip?
01:02:39Of course I do.
01:02:41I'm not good at making pretty speeches and all that,
01:02:43but you know I love you.
01:02:45Then I will love you, too.
01:02:47I will, with all my heart.
01:02:53Oh, Philip.
01:03:11No one ever kissed me like you do.
01:03:14I don't know what Papa will say when we tell him.
01:03:18You'll be angry?
01:03:19Yes, I expect so.
01:03:21But you will speak to him, won't you?
01:03:23Well, yes, of course I will, yes.
01:03:25Well, there he is.
01:03:32Who's that chap with him?
01:03:33Lord Alfred Grendel.
01:03:35Oh.
01:03:36Spends a lot of time with old Grendel, don't he?
01:03:39Papa says he can make old Grendel do anything he likes.
01:03:42He says old Grendel will jump through hoops for him.
01:03:45Does he?
01:03:47Have to be pretty big hoops, what?
01:03:53You're so funny.
01:03:56I do love you, so...
01:04:05Look here.
01:04:06I don't think now is the time to talk to Papa.
01:04:09Not in the country, in another man's house, you know.
01:04:11It's not quite the thing.
01:04:12I never know what the thing is.
01:04:14But you will speak to him soon, won't you?
01:04:17Oh, yes, yes.
01:04:19Very soon.
01:04:23Mr Melmott's given his consent.
01:04:25No, well, not in so many words, no.
01:04:27But it's all settled apart from that.
01:04:30Oh, Felix.
01:04:32It's almost too good to be true.
01:04:36Darling, darling Bond!
01:04:39Oh, leave off, Mother, do.
01:04:41I ain't quite sure I care about being married and all that, you know.
01:04:44You will care very much when you have enough money to do anything you like
01:04:47and go anywhere you like.
01:04:49Well, I suppose you're right.
01:04:51So you must come with us to the Longstaffs tomorrow.
01:04:54If you run away now,
01:04:56it will be an affront to her
01:04:58and might set Mr Melmott against you
01:05:01just at a time when you should be laying yourself out to please him.
01:05:09Don't bother.
01:05:11All right, Mother, I'll come.
01:05:13Dear boy.
01:05:14Please, please, please.
01:05:17I've had a very tiring day.
01:05:21There's your inamorata, Felix.
01:05:34I know, Mother.
01:05:37Why don't you go and talk to the Father now?
01:05:40Not in front of all these people. He might cut me.
01:05:44Well, if you won't, I shall.
01:05:51Lord.
01:05:55Mr Melmott.
01:05:56Lady, come.
01:05:58My lords, ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served.
01:06:06Thank you very much.
01:06:13I hope you like Suffolk, Mr Melmott.
01:06:16Pretty well.
01:06:17It's a very nice place for fresh air.
01:06:20I'm thinking of getting a place down here myself.
01:06:23Sooner be in London, though.
01:06:24It's a very nice place in London.
01:06:26It is if you have plenty of money, Mr Melmott.
01:06:29And if you haven't, it's the best place to get it.
01:06:35You've written any more books?
01:06:38Wicked women of history, wasn't it?
01:06:40How kind of you to remember, Mr Melmott.
01:06:43Well, I know a bit about wicked women myself.
01:06:47And girls.
01:06:48There are books I could write.
01:06:50Lady Carberry, if I had a mind, too.
01:06:52Your son is Sir Felix Carberry, ain't he?
01:06:58Sitting over there with my daughter.
01:07:01Happy fellow.
01:07:03He sits on the same board with you, I believe.
01:07:07I trust he's diligent there.
01:07:09No, you don't trouble me much, Mum.
01:07:11I don't trouble him much.
01:07:13Ah.
01:07:18I've told Mama.
01:07:22Did she say anything?
01:07:23Yes, a lot.
01:07:24She says Papa will think you're not rich enough.
01:07:26But I don't care about that.
01:07:28Talk about something else or people will hear.
01:07:32Have you been riding?
01:07:34No.
01:07:35I don't really know how to ride.
01:07:38You ride beautifully.
01:07:40What, on that old screw of Rogers?
01:07:42I think you'll do.
01:07:49When are you going back to town?
01:07:51Tomorrow.
01:07:52We go on Wednesday.
01:07:53You will come and see me, won't you?
01:07:55Hmm?
01:07:56Uh, yes.
01:07:57I expect so.
01:07:59And you'll go and see my father.
01:08:00He's in the city every day.
01:08:02Best to go there.
01:08:04Right.
01:08:06You will stick to it, though, Marie, won't you?
01:08:09I always stick to things when I've made my mind up.
01:08:11Papa knows that.
01:08:15You're a good girl, Marie.
01:08:18I'll be a very good girl to you.
01:08:23What a lovely couple they make.
01:08:33Oh.
01:08:42Whatever happens, we should always be friends.
01:08:45Yes.
01:08:46That's what I want, too.
01:08:50I shan't tell you that I love you again.
01:08:52You know that already.
01:08:54I shan't press you to make a sacrifice of yourself.
01:08:58But I think you may come to love me.
01:09:05Unless your heart is already given elsewhere.
01:09:10What do you mean?
01:09:12You seem very interested in my friend, Paul Montague.
01:09:20Who would not be?
01:09:22He has done such extraordinary things and may do more.
01:09:25Yes, but he is rather wild, you know.
01:09:29And just now he's engaged in a risky and possibly a dishonest venture
01:09:34in what I regard as very bad company.
01:09:37You speak this way about your friend, your protege.
01:09:40Yes, because I care very much about his welfare and his happiness.
01:09:48And I care even more about yours.
01:09:52Then we must hope that your fears are misplaced, mustn't we?
01:09:55Yes, mustn't we?
01:10:25Yes, Numbers.
01:10:27All right.
01:10:28So, we see him as well.
01:10:29We must love a princess.
01:10:32Yes, perfect.
01:10:35Yes, perfect.
01:10:37Yes, perfect.
01:10:39Yes, perfect.
01:10:40All right.
01:10:42Yes.
01:10:52Yes, perfect.
01:10:53Oh. Here you are, sir. Would you like anything sent up?
01:11:07No, thank you. I won't be staying very long.
01:11:23Paul. You came. You came to me. I knew you would.
01:11:49I can't stay very long.
01:11:53You can't stay long. I see.
01:11:58I don't think we have very much to say to you till then. Not now.
01:12:04Paul. I came 3,000 miles to see you. I think you owe me a little more than that.
01:12:12I don't know.
