00:00Where have the children got to? They seem to have gone into hiding.
00:07I think they were planning something special.
00:10The wanderer's return.
00:13Can you sort out the wine? We've nothing cold.
00:16Here's the thing. There's only three bottles of the 87,
00:19but I thought a glass each for the toasts.
00:22Are you sure? If you're saving them?
00:25I want it to be special.
00:30Mmm.
00:35Mmm.
00:37Nessa, go and get yourself ready.
00:40I thought I was.
00:43Yeah.
00:47You sure you're not going to come?
00:50This way everything will be ready as soon as you get back.
00:54The register office will be crammed to the rafters as it is.
00:58Daddy.
00:59Oh, doesn't you look handsome?
01:03I think we're ready.
01:05Everyone!
01:08Better than a wedding.
01:09You've got to go.
01:10And so we celebrate and extol the union of Adeline Virginia Stephen to Leonard Sidney Wolfe.
01:28A penniless Jew.
01:29Oh, you adore saying that.
01:30To the bride and groom.
01:31Bride and groom!
01:32Bride and groom.
01:33Bride and groom.
01:34Bride and groom.
01:35I've known Leonard even longer than I've known my beautiful and brilliant sister-in-law.
01:41And I can truthfully say that I never imagined this day would come for either of them.
01:45Yes.
01:46Among our company, Lytton, of course, made a famous assault on the new Mrs. Wolfe's virtue.
01:52You have scarcely an assault.
01:54Thank you, Virginia.
01:56Setting aside the matter of the bride's virtue, I still maintain my infamous proposal was no more than an involuntary twitch of the hand during the auction.
02:05Sorry, I thought I'd creep off and see your Statlin painting.
02:27You're welcome to look.
02:29The lives of the artists.
02:31I said I'd find it for the honeymoon.
02:34It's a happy day.
02:39Hmm.
02:40Although, aren't you meant to be sad, losing a sister?
02:43I prefer to think I'm gaining a Leonard.
02:46Find someone for you next, if you like.
02:49Just bear in mind I'm not the marrying soul.
02:52No, neither was Virginia.
02:55Oh, good God, Roger.
02:56My presence would have to be intoxication enough.
03:00Marriage a la mode.
03:15Well, when it's generally frowned upon, you know, for the honeymoon.
03:18Don't worry, Bill.
03:19I'm sure he had tons of native mistresses all those years in Salon.
03:20Yeah, we saw that.
03:21Yeah, we saw that.
03:22Oh, good God, Roger.
03:23Oh, good God, Roger.
03:24What's wrong?
03:25Marriage a la mode.
03:30Virginia, I love you very much.
03:36I wish you were coming too.
03:40Well, when it's generally frowned upon, you know, for the honeymoon.
03:43Don't worry, Bill.
03:44I'm sure he had tons of native mistresses all those years in Salon.
03:52She's really mine.
03:55I'm as amazed as you are.
03:56And I assure you, that's impossible.
04:00I'll bring you back again.
04:04Oh, no, no, I'll bring you back again.
04:09And so it begins.
04:13Bye, Billy girls!
04:14Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
04:16Bye.
04:16Bye, bye, bye.
04:29I can't stop.
04:32Don't.
04:32I can't stop.
04:44Virginia.
04:47I want us to copulate.
04:48I...
04:49What is it?
04:56That word.
04:57I want us to fuck.
05:05Like proper married people.
05:10It's not...
05:12You know, it's not a symbolic act.
05:14I'm sure if we do it correctly, it could be.
05:28Goodness.
05:28Goodness.
05:28You know, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's not a lot of people, it's
05:58Virginia's letter says she finds the climax immensely exaggerated.
06:05Is it the tool or the workman?
06:08I don't think it's Leonard's fault.
06:12You know, she's always dreaded intercourse.
06:17Probably on account of how awfully those Duckworth boys interfered with her when we were growing up.
06:22Yes.
06:24God.
06:25Poor Virginia.
06:26I promise I'd take the boys to the park.
06:35You see Mrs. Ravenhill today?
06:39Just for tea.
06:41Then I'll stay on in the studio.
06:43Do ask her to dine, though.
06:46Duncan's coming over to go through the designs for the mural commission.
06:50And Roger, too?
06:52I think so.
06:53How well do you arrange things?
06:59Virginia married.
07:02Imagine.
07:06Really?
07:08Nothing at all?
07:09Well, perhaps one of the crab paste.
07:17It's salmon, dear.
07:18No shellfish, I'm afraid.
07:21Your favourite's length.
07:24Bella went to Kirstein's specially.
07:27Virginia, can I tempt you?
07:28No.
07:29I wager you can't get those in Bloomsbury.
07:37Have you noticed, Virginia, how dear everything's becoming?
07:41Um...
07:41Yes, it is, rather.
07:45I imagine that's Len's department now.
07:48He was always so good at managing.
07:50Had to be, once his father passed away.
07:56Oh, dear.
07:57It seems so cruel...
07:59...that Sidney didn't live to see you married.
08:03He almost longed for grandchildren.
08:06What's it called, dear?
08:07What's it called, dear?
08:08What's it called, dear?
08:10Virginia's writing a book, Mother.
08:17How interesting.
08:21What's it called, dear?
08:25Melambrosia.
08:33Wasn't it called something else?
08:35Oh, ages ago.
08:38A whole book, Billy.
08:40Huh?
08:41A new marriage would suit you.
08:43Well, I'd written most of it before we got married.
08:46But, yes, it's nice to think I'm not an entire failure.
08:51Failure.
08:52You can do anything.
08:53You know you can.
08:55Living in extraordinary times, Virginia.
08:58Your next regime will no doubt be a baby.
09:01It appears to be compulsory.
09:04Bill, being a mother is a most marvellous thing.
09:09Better than painting?
09:10No.
09:11But...
09:12as good.
09:13Everything else is difficult.
09:14It never looks difficult.
09:15You always seem to be able to do everything.
09:16Painting.
09:17Children.
09:18Husband.
09:19Lover.
09:20Why didn't you tell me about Roger?
09:21I'd hear it from Clive.
09:22Think I'm allowed some privacy?
09:23Yeah, but you never speak to me anymore.
09:24Not properly.
09:25I speak all the time.
09:26Really, goat.
09:27You're too sensitive.
09:28You know you are.
09:29You're too sensitive.
09:30You know you are.
09:31You know you are.
09:32You know you are.
10:03You don't have a pencil on you, do you?
10:04Um...
10:05I can't imagine why I don't.
10:06I couldn't possibly fight for that.
10:07I couldn't possibly fight for that.
10:08I can't imagine why I don't.
10:09I couldn't possibly fight for that.
10:10I can't imagine why I don't.
10:27I couldn't possibly fight for that.
10:34Not because I'm frightened, though I am.
10:40It's the thought of killing another human being.
10:45I simply couldn't do it.
10:47Even if they put you in jail?
10:49I'm rather used to that possibility.
10:52One has become so used to everyone conducting their private lives exactly as they wish.
10:59One forgets.
11:00Tell those two men who committed suicide last week, rather than be brought up in court.
11:08Didn't you see the papers?
11:13This is incompetence.
11:16Only really look at the papers for the pictures.
11:20It's a disgrace.
11:21I know.
11:22You're dead!
11:23Oh!
11:24Oh, poor Duncan!
11:25You!
11:26Right.
11:27You!
11:28Come here!
11:29Come on!
11:30Come on!
11:31It's a zoological student.
11:34Sounds interesting, your boy.
11:35Thank God, Nessa.
11:36I'm hopeless at the soil.
11:37You're dead!
11:38You're dead!
11:39Oh!
11:40Oh!
11:41Oh!
11:42Oh!
11:43Oh!
11:44Oh!
11:45Oh!
11:46Oh!
11:47Oh!
11:48Oh!
11:49Oh!
11:50That sort of thing.
11:51He's not my boy, exactly.
11:53He prefers girls.
11:54Nice to have a bit more depth in the team.
11:57But you are friendly.
11:59You and Bunny.
12:01Bunny?
12:02Hmm.
12:03It's a childhood nickname.
12:05Friendly.
12:07As I said to him, I've quite enough friends already.
12:17I told you, I'm all thumbs.
12:20Duncan, old chap.
12:21Is there an artist in the house?
12:23Help me with my wife, will you?
12:24Clive.
12:25Righty-o.
12:26See?
12:27I knew he'd have a knack.
12:40See?
12:41I knew he'd have a knack.
12:58Actually, he wants to be a writer, Bunny.
13:01Oh, dear.
13:02I know.
13:03I was rather keen on the scientific angle myself.
13:04There's something so attractive about someone confident of the rules, isn't there?
13:18Is there?
13:19Isn't that one of the things you like about Roger?
13:25He's so certain about what he thinks.
13:31I...
13:32I suppose it is.
13:35One of the things I've always admired about you, you always know so clearly what you want.
14:05The sisters always so terrifyingly thorough.
14:27Who else would have considered the nipples?
14:30Consider the nipples.
14:32They toil not but they do spin.
14:34You can't be tired already.
14:46Well, by all means, go and dance with them if you still have the energy.
14:49I prefer to dance with you, as you all know.
14:51Dunker, Bunny.
14:54I've been perfectly open with you about my raging heterosexuality.
14:59You're terribly nice.
15:04You want me, drink me, want to grow smaller, want to grow bigger.
15:06I mean, don't you think it's terrifying?
15:07It's certainly not something to give to children.
15:09There's ten of your drawings.
15:10Actually, your father knew ten of yours.
15:11Or was it du Maurier?
15:12I mean, I didn't turn the page into Abawaki.
15:14Such gifts you were given, my dear.
15:17Garlands, cornucopias.
15:19Come on, you copious?
15:20.
15:21.
15:34.
15:36Virginia's not sleeping.
15:44Stupid of me to drink so much.
15:48You seem terrifyingly sober.
15:51That's me, isn't it?
15:54She's not sleeping and she's had a headache every day for the last month.
15:58I think it's the book.
15:59She's worrying it's not good enough.
16:01Ah, she's such a loony.
16:02She, all her life, all Virginia's wanted to be is a writer.
16:07If I live to be a hundred, I'll never understand her.
16:10She's frightened, Nessa.
16:13What the world will think of her, what you think.
16:15She knows what I think of her.
16:17Book's not going to change that.
16:19What one knows and what one feels can often be quite different.
16:28Do I need to talk to Dr. Hislop?
16:30I think perhaps we do.
16:47You shouldn't be afraid to use the Veranol to help you sleep.
16:50Didn't I say that?
16:52You expect too much of yourself.
16:53It clouds my thoughts, so it makes me woolly in the head.
17:00Mrs. Wolfe, you have been here before, have you not?
17:03If you trusted the treatment, all will be well.
17:05Feeding, resting, nothing to tax the brain.
17:08Otherwise, we might have to think of sending you somewhere you can rest properly.
17:14Once I'm well, might I have a child?
17:17I beg your pardon?
17:18No reason why not, Bill.
17:19But only if you follow Dr. Hislop's advice.
17:23The rules are there to be followed.
17:30Then just as she began to dread to hear of their engagement,
17:34for what could she have done with that big house all alone with Stevie on her hands,
17:38that romance came to an abrupt end,
17:40and Winnie went about looking very dull.
17:42About Mr. Verloc turning up providentially to occupy the first-floor front bedroom,
17:46there had been no more question of the young butcher.
17:50It was clearly providential.
17:54And that's your lot.
17:56I shan't sleep.
17:58Doesn't matter.
17:59Get on pillow.
18:00Half an hour.
18:00You know, when I was mad after Father died,
18:20I thought the birds were speaking to me.
18:30Speaking to me in Greek.
18:34Aren't sparrows supposed to be pure cockney?
18:41This might be John about the magazine job.
18:43Like belief in God, the benevolent creator,
19:07narrative painting has had its day.
19:10Form should be separated from life.
19:15Roderick, nothing should be separated from life.
19:19Where did that come from?
19:20You thought of painting the ceiling in here.
19:23Matisse says,
19:24a work of art must carry in itself its...
19:26Oh, it's complete significance.
19:27I don't disagree,
19:28but it doesn't follow that pain should be cut off
19:30from one's experience of the world.
19:32Distortion.
19:32Isn't distortion rather like sodomy?
19:35People think it's abnormal,
19:36so they deny its existence.
19:37Distortion is the way we actually see.
19:39There's no need to keep art apart.
19:41No, son.
19:42Life.
19:43Leonard's on the telephone.
19:45It's Virginia.
19:46How much is she taking?
19:57A hundred grains at least.
20:00The Daryl has reached her system sufficiently
20:02to depress a vital mechanism.
20:05The danger should be...
20:06If we can see her through till morning,
20:07the danger should be passing.
20:08The Daryl has reached her...
20:32The Daryl has reached her...
20:36Oh, Billy Goat.
20:49You're such an extraordinary animal.
20:53Oh, God.
20:58I'm sorry, Virginia.
21:03I'll talk to you. I'll talk to you about everything.
21:14Please.
21:21All those silly women Clark goes to bed with, but you...
21:27Him just being close to you, it was worse.
21:32I admire you more than anyone in the world.
21:39I think he's still a little in love with you.
21:45And, you know, spiritual love isn't enough for Clive.
21:58Or me.
22:00As it turns out.
22:06What I want to know.
22:07Were you told, before you asked her to marry you, how bad she was?
22:12If this sort of thing has happened before, Len, you said it had.
22:15Obviously, if I knew it had happened before.
22:19Someone had told me about Virginia's illness, Mother.
22:22There's no need to get at me. I'm only trying to help.
22:25There'll be no question now of you having children, you know.
22:30I suppose the strain would be too much.
22:35That sort of defect gets passed on.
22:38Hereditary weakness.
22:41The less that worlds have been taken, shouldn't it be stopped?
22:48The less that it is, you know.
22:50The less that you eat...
22:51The less that you eat...
22:54What's the hell?
22:58The more that you eat...
23:00Another sense of love.
23:17And these.
23:19Apparently he mentioned you like aniseed.
23:30Delicious.
23:57How's Virginia?
23:59Better, but not better.
24:03Leonard's taking her out of London.
24:06Somewhere quiet.
24:07Best for her if there is going to be a war anyway.
24:11Golly.
24:20Not really Clive's sort of thing.
24:23Or Roger's.
24:25But mine, as you know.
24:27Actually, I've been arranging what to do myself, if there's a war, keeping the boys out of danger.
24:38You're still planning to visit us in the country, aren't you?
24:41I've found a house.
24:42You know me.
24:43I tend to turn up as a guest and stare as a lodger.
24:47A tenant, I hope.
24:50No rent.
24:51That's taken care of.
24:53And there's a good-sized room for you.
24:57And Bunny.
24:59Of course.
25:01He'll be delighted.
25:01He's desperate to get away and do some writing.
25:16I'm in love with you.
25:17I'm sorry.
25:23I thought it was just oddies.
25:33But, um...
25:34It's not going to change.
25:39Nessa, it's...
25:48You must know I'm fonder of you than any woman on Earth.
25:58Than almost anyone, in fact.
26:09Yes.
26:14You're a bugger.
26:15There it is.
26:18I don't expect anything.
26:20I don't expect anything.
26:50It's all right.
26:53I'm awake.
27:20So the die is cast.
27:31It's war.
27:32Johnny, get your gun, get your gun, get your gun.
27:49Take it on the run, on the run, on the run.
27:53Hear them calling you and me.
27:56Every son of liberty.
28:00Hurry right away, no delay, go today.
28:02Make your daddy glad to have had such a lad.
28:06Tell your sweetheart not to find...
28:09Without her foiling land.
28:10She's the only one who's in love.
28:11My heart will find...
28:12She's the only one who's in love.
28:14She's the only one who's in love.
28:15dearest goat how I loved your last letter I can't tell you how remote it can feel here
28:32as though we're a lost world
28:36our car got stuck in the lane
28:42Mary welcome to Charleston
28:44I can scarcely tell who's most savage the boys Duncan or me
28:51bunny seems to hang on to some sort of gloss being less weary of society
28:56I must say the thought of any kind of society increasingly fills me with a
29:00kind of horror we're going to have the lake paddled
29:06that'd be right to make it hold water better
29:10the lake it's more of a pond really
29:14so the boys can swim in it once it's warmer
29:17and we have tremendous plans for the garden I don't know if you saw but
29:21we're growing lots of potatoes
29:23you keen on guns no oh I thought you were going to say potatoes
29:29no not particularly
29:32has Duncan shown you his hands
29:37what an extraordinary conversation
29:40turnips and manglewurzels 12 hours a day

31:50and some to leonard if it can be spared
31:53nesa
31:58all my love to you
32:09Perfection.
32:26I knew it would be.
32:29How glorious, Bill.
32:32But words are words. You make the thing itself.
32:35All of this.
32:39I promised myself I'd never make the mistake of confusing books with children.
32:44Seems I made my choice, though.
32:46Or you and Leonard did when I was raving.
32:48No.
32:49It's all right, truly.
32:51Leonard keeps me on an even keel.
32:54Three meals a day, no late nights, no excitement.
33:00And I'm writing another one, so fertile as anything.
33:05You shall have the children, and I shall have the fame.
33:09What are they playing?
33:13War.
33:13It's all they ever play.
33:18And built a heaven in hell's despite.
33:20What was that?
33:22Love seeketh not itself to please.
33:26You'll be made to memorise it at High Park Gate.
33:29Mother?
33:30Oh, it's pictures.
33:34No words.
33:38You were right, it seems.
33:42Anything is possible.
33:43Dinner suits, or just the trousers without the arse ripped hat?
34:07Go down to supper like that.
34:08I want to make the right impression.
34:13No, Virginia won't care.
34:14I promise.
34:25I promise.
34:34What I'm aiming for in my writing is something entirely different.
34:38A singular effect.
34:40Truthful, yet universal.
34:42I'll give this up.
34:44You can barely hold a brush.
34:45It's all right.
34:47Nessa!
34:48No chapters in your book, I imagine.
34:56Like all the radical gentlemen.
34:58I haven't decided yet.
35:01You mean you haven't started it?
35:03I have very little time in the day, Virginia.
35:07Perhaps if you didn't go up to London every weekend.
35:10I dare say you're right.
35:24Bunny's a young man in a hurry.
35:26I wish he'd be nicer to Duncan.
35:29It's a vine for him being here.
35:32But he and Duncan should count themselves lucky to have won their tribunals.
35:36Yes.
35:38Be careful what you wish for.
35:39Never think, Nessa, it's an invalid and her nurse between Leonard and me.
35:51We meet in so many ways.
35:55I never thought we could be so happy together.
35:58I'm glad.
36:01I can't tell you what it's like to wake up every morning.
36:04I can make work with Duncan.
36:07Discuss it together.
36:07I think he's the best painter of his generation.
36:12That must make everything worthwhile.
36:18Although there was a time when you had those hopes for your own painting.
36:22Who's to say I haven't still?
36:25This is not a competition.
36:26What does it do with you?
36:35I'm asking you to consider my feelings.
36:37I do nothing.
36:38But consider your feelings.
36:39But being a bugger isn't enough of me.
36:41Bunny.
36:41Bunny.
36:42He's going up to see Alex again. He's mad about her.
37:04It'll pass. I did with the opium woman. Anyway, I shall have the pleasure of an evening with you all to myself.
37:19I think I'll... I think I'll pop up to Lewis.
37:34I think it's a good one.
37:41I'll see you next time.
37:43We'll see you next time.
37:46We'll see you next time.
37:49We'll see you next time.
37:54Charming.
38:23Not too charming.
38:29That's my weakness, not yours.
38:43My time.
38:53You know it won't last.
39:13These old walls.
39:20Plaster will just absorb the pigment.
39:27I can look into it if you like.
39:32Some sort of primer.
39:33I can always repaint it.
39:39You never find offers of help helpful, do you?
39:43You're marvellous when the pump broke down.
39:47You know, Nessa, if we fucked, you'd probably find me less irritating.
39:55I don't think we can be certain of that, do you?
39:57Good night, ma'am.
40:14Selfish sod.
40:16How's the rest of the house supposed to keep warm?
40:17I happen to be in...
40:18Put in yourself first every bloody time!
40:21He's taken it upon himself to use up the rest of the coal!
40:23Oh, we do need to keep the kitchen stove going.
40:27Do you really think I wouldn't make sure we could spare it?
40:29The sheets were actually damp!
40:31Obviously, no-one cares if I get pneumonia.
40:33Oh!
40:33And the cocoa as well!
40:34Yes, Duncan!
40:35I'm living it up!
40:36It's practically Claridge's in here!
40:38It's not the last of the milk, or is it just the boys' cocoa in them?
40:41I can always water it down.
40:42Thank you for pointing that out.
40:43Don't you dare start on her, you little swine!
40:46Nessa's an absolute saint!
40:47Yes, she's a fucking saint!
40:49Aren't you lucky to have the devotion of an actual living saint?
40:52Stop it, both of you.
40:53Here, have the bastard cocoa!
40:55I'm sure she'd rather you bloody have it!
40:57You'll hurt yourself!
40:59Stop it at once!
41:03You're behaving like children!
41:05I'm ill!
41:05You're not ill!
41:06Aren't they past fists anymore?
41:10Come on, boys.
41:11Bastard!
41:12Ah!
41:12Ah!
41:13Ah!
41:13Ah!
41:13Ah!
41:13Ah!
41:13Ah!
41:13Ah!
41:13Ah!
41:13Ah!
41:14Ah!
41:15Ah!
41:15Ah!
41:15Ah!
41:15Ah!
41:15Ah!
41:16Ah!
41:16Ah!
41:17Ah!
41:17Ah!
41:18Ah!
41:18Ah!
41:19Ah!
41:19Yeah.
41:20Ah!
41:21Are we right at that end, Alex?
41:22Yes, right.
41:24Yeah.
41:27Ah!
41:31Duncan!
41:38There you are!
41:39Hi!
41:40The size we ordered has arrived.
41:44These games, you see?
41:46I say, don't go to London, so he invites her down here.
41:48In store, sir. Oh, God, I've had enough.
41:51Stop! Stop it!
41:53It's hitting so. The fields, every day, never enough to eat.
41:56No time to paint, and him telling me I'm hysterical.
41:59God, I wish I were dead.
42:00Oh, well, join up, then.
42:03That'll take care of it quickly enough.
42:07I do know how hard it is.
42:10It's hard for me, too.
42:12Oh, God, Nessa, I am so sorry.
42:14I should go away.
42:19No.
42:23I can bear any of it if you're here.
42:28I wish you wouldn't say things like that.
42:30I don't, generally.
42:34I try very hard not to.
42:39Sorry.
42:40Sorry.
42:40What in hell's name do you have to be sorry for?
42:46What in hell's name do you have to be sorry for?
43:10I wish so much I could make you happy.
43:29You do.
43:31Nessa, you do.
43:32You and the children.
43:37As much as is possible.
43:43I'm a bear.
43:45I'm afraid these days.
43:49Bloody hell.
43:49If there could only be one thing.
43:55Loving him and loving...
43:58Loving you.
44:00I thought I was thinking we should have a child together.
44:11Oh, I've even thought it would be two.
44:12Please, please.
44:24What's the matter?
44:34I thought it would be
44:37Well...
44:38I thought it would be two.
44:39I thought it was.
44:40Oh, my God.
45:10Oh, my God.
45:40Oh, my God.
45:42The negotiations with French have been positively increased.
45:46Mother is as surprised by my publication as she would be by my presenting her with a grandchild.
45:50And as delighted, I would...
45:52Far more, if truth be told.
45:55Reviews.
45:56So many cousins, she can finally look in the eye.
45:59Now, have you really managed to convince Clyde's family or to deliver yourself of another little bell?
46:03Well, so far as we know, Clyde isn't here for the birth and Duncan will telegraph him and he will telegraph them.
46:10All the formalities, nicely observed.
46:12It's all they care about, really.
46:13Speaking of which, do you think it's getting late for you?
46:16Oh, Leonard, we can't possibly leave yet.
46:19I mean, please, I feel like we haven't tasted foul in years.
46:22Greatest.
46:23And it's a high holiday, after all.
46:24Peace.
46:25I promise obedience in all things, all week.
46:28Oh, Mum, set his grandest.
46:30Besiegement urging.
46:32I'm so sorry.
46:33Flossie has had such trouble with the oven.
46:37Careful.
46:38No more wine, then.
46:39You don't want a bad head.
46:40As soon as I finish the memorandum, the airman will fly it to Versailles.
46:44See, how can we miss such important matter in the fate of nations?
46:46An admirable practical arrangement, all this, Clyde.
46:49You really don't mind?
46:50If I had, I'm not sure it would have prevented anything.
46:52And why not?
46:53I'll have my sons.
46:54And whatever will you tell the child?
46:56I don't.
47:00I assume we can discuss this among friends.
47:04Of course we can.
47:05I'm sure we'll contrive something suitable.
47:08Human beings do seem to be able to adjust to the most improbable situations.
47:16Leonard refuses to consider me learning to drive a motor car.
47:20Very wise of him.
47:21I'm transformed.
47:23You should see me now in London.
47:24And I'm every inch the lady of letters.
47:26The great and the good clamoring for invitations to tea.
47:29Well, the great-ish and good-ish, anyway.
47:33The chicken was delicious.
47:36What a world you've made.
47:37I've never tried to do that.
47:38Me?
47:38Me?
47:38Me?
47:38Me?
47:39Yeah.
47:39One, two, three.
47:41That's an extraordinary feat, all of this.
47:44I'm glad you think so.
47:46Most of the time, it seems to be living in a sort of shambles.
47:51Yeah, but it's living to the top of your bent, and it takes a particular genius to keep Roger
48:01as a friend and Clive as a husband.
48:03Duncan is...
48:04Duncan is...
48:06Duncan is...
48:08What is Duncan exactly?
48:09Duncan is...
48:14Duncan.
48:16God.
48:17What is Duncan?
48:18I don't know.
48:19I don't know.
48:20I don't know.
48:21I don't know.
48:22Well done.
48:23Well done.
48:24Yes, it's...
48:25It's all right.
48:26There we go.
48:27God, how ever am I to manage once you're back in London?
48:48You always manage.
48:50You're a cat. Drop you from the roof, you end up on your feet.
48:53Anyway, now the war's over, you can paint all hours of the day.
48:56You shan't miss me at all. Merry Christmas, peace on earth, all that twaddle.
49:03Oh Lord.
49:07We have to call him Jesus.
49:12Little baby Jesus.
49:14And you're Joseph?
49:16No, I'm the father, definitely.
49:21Will you go by God or a simple father?
49:25Papa?
49:26Peter?
49:27Pa?
49:28Dad?
49:29Pop?
49:30We should get you into bed, Mrs Belle.
49:31No.
49:32The sting.
49:33Here.
49:34Duncan!
49:35Oh.
49:36Oh.
49:37Oh.
49:38Oh.
49:39Oh.
49:40Oh.
49:41Oh.
49:42Oh.
49:43Oh.
49:44Oh.
49:45Oh.
49:46Oh.
49:47Oh.
49:48We should get you into bed, Mrs Belle.
49:49Oh.
49:50Oh.
49:51Oh.
49:52The sting.
49:54The sting.
49:55Here.
49:56Duncan!
49:57Duncan!
50:15Just read anything!
50:17Tiger!
50:19Not that one!
50:21Love seeketh not itself to please,
50:24nor for itself hath any care,
50:26but for another gives its ease
50:28and builds a heaven in hell's despair.
50:32So sang a little clod of clay,
50:34trodden with the cattle's feet,
50:36but the pebble of the brook
50:38That's it, Sister Bell!
50:40Breathe for me!
50:42Love seeketh only self to please,
50:44to bind another to its delight.
50:46Joys in another's loss of ease,
50:50and builds a hell in heaven's despite!
50:52Emma!
51:00What's that?
51:22It's a girl.
51:24Imagine.
51:26She's very beautiful.
51:28Shall I marry her some day?
51:30She's very beautiful.
51:32Shall I marry her some day?
51:36Shall I marry her some day?
51:38She's very beautiful.
51:40I love you!
51:42I love you, too.
51:44I love you, too.
51:46I love you.
51:47I love you, too.
51:52I love you!
51:59Oh, God...
52:00Go on.
52:22Maybe for inside?
52:24Yes.
52:25Would you like that?
52:26No, it's fine.
52:27Thank you, thank you.
52:28I think it would go well.
52:30All your ducks in a row, eh?
52:33One of them almost a swan.
52:47We're coming up.
52:48Oh, my God, here he is.
52:49Come on, Duncan!
52:50Julian!
52:51Clive, he's here!
52:52Oh, you're so thin.
52:54Oh, but so handsome.
52:55Let me look at you.
52:56Good God, George.
52:57I can see my telegram didn't make it.
52:58My dear fellow.
52:59I thought you were in Spain.
53:00Oh, dear fellow.
53:01Oh, dear fellow.
53:02I thought you were in Spain.
53:03Oh, dear fellow.
53:04I thought you were in Spain.
53:05What a day.
53:06Oh.
53:07What a day.
53:08Oh, dang, it's a little bit ugly.
53:09постро, I'm sticking out for some, though.
53:10Oh, whatever.
53:11Look at me.
53:12See?
53:13Oh.
53:14Oh, my God.
53:15George.
53:16I can see my telegram didn't make it.
53:18My dear fellow.
53:20I thought you were in Spain.
53:30What a day.
53:41Angelica.
53:46Oh, champagne. Marvellous.
54:02Of course. Only the best for my son.
54:05Oh, it'd better be Irish stew.
54:07I've been dreaming of Grace's Irish stew since Shanghai.
54:12It's marvellous to see you, George.
54:14Do it.
54:18Brother dear, we shall make all your dreams come true.
54:20Shalln't we, Clyde?
54:22Of course, my darling.
54:23Now, that would be dangerous.
54:25You must be careful what you wish for.
54:27You must know that, Angelica.
54:29I can see China has made you terribly wise.
54:32Yeah.
54:33Thank you, Maya.
54:34Thank you for your love.
54:36Thank you for your love.
54:45Welcome home Julian, darling.
54:47Here's to family.
54:48Family!
54:49George has managed to get hold of a ticket on the Queen Mary.
55:02And you intend to go?
55:04That'd be all right with you.
55:07Five miles from the coast, we won't stand a chance.
55:10He'll put you in a camp.
55:12If I'm lucky.
55:14We can't be separated.
55:16Promise me.
55:17You do realise, Nessa, you need to tell Angelica the truth.
55:20Everyone's got a right to know who they really are.
55:23Angelica.
55:24You know Bunny's seen a fair bit of her up in town.
55:27I understand how you feel.
55:28I don't want to be understood.
55:30I just want to live my own life.
55:32Is she in love with you?
55:33Right, why did you ask her?
55:35Everyone should be free to live as they please, otherwise we may as well be our parents.
55:47I don't know who they are.
56:05Bye.
56:06Amen.
