00:30Miss Murphy, will you hold the damn pose?
01:00Miss Murphy, will you hold the damn pose?
01:25Miss Murphy, will you hold the damn pose?
01:33Miss Murphy, will you hold the damn pose?
01:37Hello, my children. This is my last French lesson.
01:43That's the last lesson you'll ever get from me,
01:46for I'm leaving today and you'll never see me again.
01:49So, repeat after me.
01:55Au revoir mes amis. Au revoir mes amis.
01:59Bonne chance. Bonne chance.
02:01Et baiser mon cul. Et baiser mon cul.
02:05Merci. Très bien. Au revoir.
02:19Ready, Amelia?
02:21Yes.
02:23Come on. Let's say goodbye to the old women.
02:29I have the honour to present Miss Amelia Sedley to her parents
02:33as a young lady not unworthy...
02:35Oh, by no means, sister.
02:37Of their polished and refined circle.
02:41In leaving them all, Miss Amelia carries with her
02:45the hearts of her companions.
02:47Oh, so beautifully you put it, sister.
02:50And affectionate regards of her mistress these last six years.
02:55Your obliged and humble servant, Barbara Pinkerton.
03:01P.S.
03:03Miss Sharp accompanies Miss Sedley.
03:07It is particularly requested that Miss Sharp's stay with you
03:12may not exceed ten days,
03:14at which time she should take up the post of governess
03:18in a very good family.
03:20Ah, here you are.
03:23Come in, Miss Sedley.
03:26And Miss Sharp, I suppose.
03:28Miss Sedley.
03:30Amelia, my dear child.
03:32We wish you all the good fortune in the world.
03:35See?
03:36Johnson's dictionary?
03:38To remind you of your time here.
03:41Thank you, Miss Pinkerton.
03:43Miss Sharp, I bid you good day.
03:50I make no presentation.
03:52You've shown yourself incapable of gratitude.
03:55I beg your pardon.
03:56I taught a little French here,
03:58and you paid me a pittance for it.
04:00No occasion for gratitude on either side, I should say.
04:04Bye, Miss Jemima.
04:06Oh, goodbye, Becky dear.
04:08Is this all your luggage, Miss?
04:22Yes, it is.
04:23What's all it?
04:24I only asked.
04:25Hand me in, then.
04:27Sandwiches, my dears.
04:28And Becky, I brought you a dictionary after all.
04:40But don't tell my sister.
04:42Goodbye, my spouse!
04:44Tell her she can keep her dictionary!
04:50Thank God I'm out of that house.
04:57I wish it were at the bottom of the tent.
05:00Becky, how can you dare have such wicked revengeful thoughts?
05:04Revenge may be wicked, but it's natural.
05:08I've been treated worse than any servant in the kitchen.
05:11I should have told her to baise mon qui.
05:13Except she doesn't understand a word of French.
05:16I know baise is to kiss, but...
05:29Let's see what her letters say.
05:46Did you say your brother would be coming to supper tonight?
05:53Yes, he's newly returned from India.
05:55And his wife, I expect.
05:57No, Joseph isn't married.
05:59Oh, isn't he?
06:01No, there were no white women in Bogdawala.
06:03I believe Joseph has been very lonely there.
06:05Yes, I'll let me, my darling!
06:20Michelle!
06:21I'm so pleased to meet you, Mum.
06:23Well, very, very welcome, my dear.
06:26Now, come here.
06:28What's this here?
06:29Looks like a sharp slope, ladies.
06:30Trevor's a bit light, didn't she?
06:31Governess.
06:32Riff-raff.
06:33Look at these lovely shawls.
06:34Joseph brought them back from India.
06:35Must be delightful to have a brother.
06:36I want you to have one of them.
06:37Which do you like best?
06:38Truly.
06:39My poor father could never afford to give me anything.
06:40didn't she? Go, Bernice. Riff-riff.
06:49Look at these lovely shawls. Joseph brought them back from India.
06:53Must be delightful to have a brother. I want you to have one of them, which you like best.
06:58Truly.
07:05My poor father could never afford to give me anything. I've never had more than two frocks.
07:10Now you must love your brother. Shall we go down? Then you can meet him for yourself.
07:30Don't be alarmed, Joseph. It's only your sister.
07:41This is my friend Miss Sharp.
07:46You've heard me mention her, I know.
07:48No, never. My word.
07:51That is to say, um...
07:53Bumbling will have killed with him, Miss.
08:04He's very handsome.
08:06Do you think so? I'll tell him.
08:08Oh, please, don't think of it.
08:12Shall we have the pleasure of your company at dinner, Mr. Sedley?
08:15What?
08:16Oh, Lord, no.
08:18That is to say, um...
08:19I promise Bonomy, you know, my buggy should be at the door at this moment.
08:26Oh, Lord!
08:29Well, well.
08:30Papa!
08:32School days are over, eh?
08:34Come and give your old papa a kiss.
08:36Oh, oh.
08:38That's it. That's my good girl.
08:39And this is your friend, Emmy.
08:41Miss Sharp, I'm very happy to meet you.
08:43Sir.
08:45What have you been doing to Joseph?
08:47He says he won't dine with us, Papa.
08:49Can't, sir.
08:50Not in this regard. Impossible.
08:52Nonsense.
08:54A chap like you, handsome enough to dine anywhere.
08:56Isn't he, Miss Sharp?
08:57Mm.
09:02Excellent.
09:07Careful, Mother.
09:09Good as my own curry's ninja, hmm?
09:12I must try some if it's an Indian dish.
09:15I'm sure everything must be good that comes from there.
09:17Oh, be careful, Becky.
09:28Delicious.
09:30You like it as well as everything else that comes from India, Miss Sharp?
09:34Mm. Excellent.
09:38Try a chilli with it, Miss Sharp.
09:39Oh, yes.
09:40How fresh and cool they look.
09:41Becky!
09:42Well, Amy, your friend's got pluck, I'll say that.
10:00Well done, Miss Sharp.
10:02More curry.
10:09Shame, sir.
10:10Take advantage of my innocence.
10:14But truly, truly,
10:16did you think of handsome Becky?
10:19Yes, truly, I did.
10:21And what's more important?
10:27I'm sure he has a warm heart.
10:29And that's worth more than anything.
10:31Far more than riches.
10:33Oh, I believe Joseph is quite rich.
10:36He's the collector of Buckley Waller, you know.
10:40There's no need to rub so hard, Mrs Blenkinsop.
10:42I don't need to rub so hard, Mrs Blenkinsop.
11:14What a wonderful picture.
11:20How brave you must be to sit up so high.
11:23Oh.
11:24Didn't know about that.
11:25Didn't know about that.
11:28What a big...
11:38Nose he had.
11:41He's a trunk.
11:42We call that his trunk.
11:45Oh.
11:46Yeah.
11:48And in India, do all the gentlemen ride about on elephants every day as they do on horses here?
11:55No.
11:56Not every day.
11:58But for tiger hunting and such like.
12:00Tigers?
12:01You go tiger hunting.
12:03Truly.
12:03I should be terrified.
12:06And have you shot any?
12:10More or less, you know.
12:13I'd like to see the tiger could get the better of Joss Sedley.
12:17Well.
12:18That girl's setting her cap at our Joss.
12:24The hurtful little creature.
12:27She'll go tomorrow.
12:29Oh, why shouldn't she use your mind to him?
12:31That boy's destined to be a prey to women.
12:33She has no breed, a drawing master.
12:37We haven't all that much breeding ourselves, Mrs Sedley.
12:42Mama.
12:43Miss Sharp has no kind parents to arrange these delicate matters for her.
12:47Do you remember promising to take me to Vauxhall Gardens when I was old enough?
12:56Me?
12:56No, never.
12:58Yes, you did.
13:00And now would be the perfect time when Becky is with us.
13:03Oh, delightful.
13:04I've always longed to see Vauxhall.
13:07And, uh, at your service, Miss Sharp.
13:10Hold on, hold on.
13:11The girl should have a gentleman of peace.
13:14Emmy, send round to number 96.
13:17And ask George Osborne if he'll come.
13:20Oh, is the regiment returned?
13:22Yes, I heard it in the club this morning.
13:24But do you think it'd be proper of me to invite him?
13:27Well, of course it would.
13:28You've been sweethearts since you were children, haven't you?
13:30But, Pa, you mustn't talk so before, Miss Sharp.
13:43Joss.
13:44Has this Mr. George Osborne really been any sweethearts since you were little?
13:48No.
13:49Pa, Pa loves to tease me.
13:51But, you know, I have known him ever so long.
13:54Pa, I helped Mr. Osborne, George's father, to get started in business.
13:58And I think he and Mr. Osborne have always hoped and intended that one day George and I...
14:02And, indeed, I've always liked George more than anyone.
14:07He's the sweetest, kindest, bravest.
14:11Oh, Becky, I believe he's the best of men.
14:13Is he very handsome?
14:17I think so.
14:19I think he's handsome more than any man I've ever set eyes on.
14:22He's a lieutenant in the 130th, you know.
14:26Oh, Becky.
14:27What is it?
14:29There, it is he.
14:30Well, he's a turn-up.
14:33I was just coming to call.
14:39This is my friend, Miss Sharp.
14:41Delighted to make your acquaintance, Miss Sharp.
14:43Thank you, sir.
14:43Hello, Joss.
14:44How are you?
14:44Oh, I'm...
14:45Well, now you ask my liver aid to...
14:48Have you come to heel, sir?
14:49Yes, we were planning a little outing tomorrow evening, Amelia, Miss Sharp and I, to Vauxhall Gardens.
14:58Care to join us?
14:59Vauxhall Gardens?
15:00Capital idea, Joss.
15:02Capital idea.
15:08Well, are we all ready?
15:10I've remembered who you are, Miss Sharp.
15:12Your, uh, father was drawing master at Pinkerton's, wasn't he?
15:15And you were engaged to, uh, talk French to the girls.
15:18Am I right?
15:20Yes, sir.
15:21Quite right.
15:22And soon I'm to leave all my friends behind me to become a governess.
15:26Sir Pitt has summoned me early.
15:29So I shall be quite beneath the notice of fine gentlemen like yourself and Mr. Sedley.
15:34I say, now, do you take it that's not honour?
15:37I mean, uh...
15:37Oh, by the way, I hope there's room.
15:40I've invited Captain Dobbin of our regiment to go with us to Vauxhall.
15:43God knows.
15:45He is no adonis.
15:48But he's, uh, wonderfully useful for carrying shawls, finding waiters and so on.
15:54Captain Dobbin.
16:03Sorry, I'm late, Joss.
16:05Amelia, I don't think you remember.
16:06Captain William Dobbin of the 130th.
16:08And this is Miss Rebecca Sharp.
16:09Rebecca Sharp.
16:21Well, come on, Dobbin.
16:21What are you staring at, you gawky?
16:23I-I had not thought that Miss Sedley would have grown up to be so beautiful.
16:32Oh, good God, man.
16:33Why shouldn't she have done?
16:34And there's another lady present, William?
16:36Oh, Miss Sharp.
16:38I do beg your pardon.
16:39I-I didn't mean...
16:39Granted, I'm sure.
16:41Oh, we all have to forgive Dobbin.
16:42He's the clumsiest man alive.
16:44But there's not a finer fellow in the service.
16:46But I remember you, Miss Sedley, from when you were growing up as a small child.
16:48But I remember you, Captain Dobbin.
16:51Indeed, I always had an idea that you were at least seven foot high.
16:56Well, no.
16:57Ain't that touching.
16:59Miss Sedley?
17:00Miss Sharp.
17:18Very nice when he turned out.
17:46I say, Dobbin, just look to the shawls and things.
17:53There's a good fellow.
17:54And make sure we get a decent table for supper.
17:56If we get separated, we'll all meet there.
17:58Now, Miss Sharp, don't do any jug joss astray.
18:03Mia!
18:03And did you ever think of me, George, when you were so far away?
18:26Did I ever think of you, every hour of every day, Annie?
18:32Oh, George.
18:45Help me!
18:46Help!
18:49Help me!
18:50Help!
18:50Help!
18:51Help!
18:52Help!
18:53Help!
18:54Help!
18:55Help!
18:56Help!
18:57Help!
18:58Help!
18:59Help!
19:00Help!
19:01Help!
19:02Help!
19:03Help!
19:04Help!
19:05Help!
19:06Help!
19:07Help!
19:08Help!
19:09Help!
19:10Help!
19:11Help!
19:12Help!
19:13Help!
19:14Help!
19:15Help!
19:16Help!
19:17Help!
19:18So, what is there besides tigers and elephants?
19:34Oh, parades, you know, dole bars.
19:41They're like gatherings of the clans.
19:44And balls.
19:45And what sort of people go to the balls?
19:48Too many Scotsmen, I can tell you that.
19:52Yes, I can't abide as Scotsman, you know.
19:56And some damn fine pretty ladies, too.
20:00But...
20:01What did you say?
20:04These precious few of them are as pretty as you, Becky.
20:08Oh, you mustn't say such things, but I'm sure you don't mean them.
20:14Indeed, I do mean them, Becky.
20:15I dare say you've said them to a score of girls before.
20:19No, not I.
20:21Well, I'll believe you then.
20:25Oh, how I should love to see India.
20:33Should you?
20:34Oh, I should.
20:37Oh, well.
20:39Here.
20:41Stranger things have happened.
20:43Mr. Sedley.
20:45Joseph.
20:46Joseph.
20:46What do you mean?
20:52What a fright.
20:56Good Lord.
20:57Well, it's already.
20:59That means it's supper time.
21:01You're just hungry, ain't you?
21:05Starving.
21:06And the governor himself.
21:14That's Lord Minter, you know.
21:17Fine man.
21:17He knows me well.
21:19He says, in front of them all, you know.
21:23Nabobs and Rajas, the whole panjandrum.
21:26No, he says.
21:28We won't begin without Tiger Sedley.
21:31Tiger Sedley?
21:33Who's that?
21:34Says the Nawab of Pertudi.
21:36Why, the collector of Boggly Wallows, says Minter.
21:39A very good friend of mine.
21:42I'm not going hunting without my friend Tiger Sedley.
21:45Because he can shoot tigers.
21:48Yeah, bang, bang.
21:50Show it for me.
21:52Yeah, I do go to it.
21:55Tiger Sedley, they call me that, you know.
21:58Because I shoot tigers.
22:02Those poor tigers.
22:04I'm surprised there's any left alive.
22:07Oh, there's plenty left, you know.
22:09Indians full of them.
22:11When I go to...
22:12If I should go to India,
22:16I'm sure I would feel safe with you, Joseph.
22:22Yes.
22:24Let's have a bowl of rack punch.
22:27Greater!
22:31Greater!
22:35Find a way to Tobin.
22:40Becky.
22:42Excuse us, gentlemen.
22:44Of course.
22:54Where'd they go?
22:56They've gone to piss, Josh.
22:58Ladies do it too, you know.
23:00Now?
23:01What are you up to with that little governess, you rogue?
23:04Nothing disreputable, George.
23:06I say, she's as fine a girl as ever I saw.
23:10She can speak French better than...
23:13Better than Lady Minto.
23:16I wager she'll be a sensation of the Calcutta ball.
23:20You can see for yourself.
23:22Lord knows how,
23:24but somehow the poor girl's fall madly in love with me.
23:27Damn me,
23:28I shouldn't be surprised if I popped the question tonight.
23:30And what question would that be, Josh?
23:32Now, George.
23:35Well, I asked the girl to marry me.
23:37What else?
23:40Wait a rack punch!
23:41Only more times!
23:42And how long have you known her, Josh?
23:44What's that got to do with it?
23:46Josh Sedley is a man of decision.
23:49If I were you, I'd sleep on it.
23:51In my view,
23:52young Becky Sharp is not the sort of girl
23:53one has to marry,
23:56if you see what I mean.
23:58I don't know what you mean, sir.
24:00I don't care to.
24:02Becky Sharp is an angel!
24:05I don't care who he is we say, sir.
24:09Wait a rack punch!
24:10How many more times?
24:10That counts for the crack-sink finder!
24:13And let's see you walk the eye wire!
24:18I can hold my lips, sir, as well as any man alive!
24:21Whoa!
24:22At last!
24:25This is the stuff.
24:27I say, Josh, don't you think you've had enough?
24:30Nonsense!
24:31Who ever went to Vauxhall and never had a bowl of rack punch?
24:35Well, it may make him incapable of the other sort of folly.
24:40He'll be incapable of anything at all in half an hour.
24:44That's what you think about getting him home.
24:46Hmm, excellent.
24:46If you see to that, old friend, I'll look after the young ladies.
24:50How's that?
24:50Fair division of labour?
24:54And do you really think he would declare himself tonight?
24:57I think he was on the brink of it just before the fireworks.
25:00Perhaps the little rack punch will give him the courage.
25:02Becky, think if we were to be married together,
25:04I would be so happy.
25:06Oh, Lord, now what's the matter?
25:08I will!
25:09Oh, there you are, thank you.
25:12This is a different family.
25:14Family, girl!
25:16Family!
25:17Joseph, please, put me down!
25:20Come on, Josh.
25:22Call me Tiger.
25:24Come on, Tiger.
25:24Let's get me home.
25:25I'm sure he'll be back here first thing in the morning to see you, Becky.
25:36Well, I wish he could take his liquor as well as he takes his curry.
25:41And how did Emmy fare this evening?
25:43Oh, I was so happy.
25:45Is he not the very best and most beautiful man?
25:49Well, he's very handsome, as to the rest.
25:54Well, I hope you get what you deserve.
25:59And I pray that I don't.
26:03He must propose tomorrow.
26:09Oh...
26:09There you are, Joseph.
26:13Oh, thank you, darling.
26:17You're a good chap.
26:19Oh, Lord.
26:22That rack punch is the foulest person.
26:26I should never drink alcohol again, Dobbin.
26:30And I advise you not to.
26:32Morning, Sedley.
26:33How are you?
26:34No burns broken?
26:37Morning, Dobbin.
26:38Morning, George.
26:39I say, Josh, there's a hackney coachman outside with a black eye and a tied-up jaw who says
26:43you'll have the law on you.
26:44Law?
26:45What do you mean?
26:47For thrashing him last night.
26:48Dad, you hit out like Molyneux.
26:51The duty sergeant says he never saw a man go down so straight.
26:54I believe I am very terrible when roused.
26:58Oh, Lord.
26:59We buy him off, do you think?
27:01Why didn't you stop me, Dobbin?
27:03You.
27:06Terrible.
27:07You could hardly stand and alone fight.
27:11Old Dobbin here had to carry you upstairs like a baby, didn't you, Dobbin?
27:15It's true.
27:15And before that, you had the whole of Vauxhall Gardens laughing, didn't you?
27:21You were as drunk as a fiddler's bitch, man.
27:24You made a complete show of yourself.
27:27Your sister was quite disgusted with you.
27:30Dobbin and I were ashamed to be seen with you, weren't we, Dobbin?
27:33All right, George, steady on.
27:34As for that pert little miss, I shouldn't think she'll ever speak to you again.
27:40Or even look in your general direction.
27:43Do you remember anything concerning her, Joss?
27:45Do you remember putting your hands round her waist and twirling her round and calling her
27:53your dearest diddle-diddle darling?
27:57Remember that, Joss?
28:00Oh, Lord.
28:03And then you fell down.
28:06The first time, that is.
28:09Oh, Lord.
28:11You promised to visit her this morning, you know?
28:20Should I go round, you think, and beg her pardon?
28:26If I were you, I'd leave the country.
28:31I wouldn't show my face within a hundred mile of her.
28:35Write her a note and pack your bags.
28:40That's my advice.
28:41I'll take the message round for you.
28:47Yes.
28:49Yes.
28:50Perhaps that's best.
28:55Dobbin, could you lend me pen and paper?
28:58Oh, Lord.
29:02Acupuncture is very bad stuff.
29:05I thought you were very hard on poor Sedley, Osborne.
29:11Why should I spare him?
29:12Why should I spare him?
29:14The great booby.
29:16And I don't like the little schoolgirl ogling and making love to him.
29:19Hang it.
29:19The family's low enough without her.
29:22The governess is all very well, but I'd rather have a lady for my sister-in-law.
29:26It's not a crime to be poor, George.
29:31Where is he, then?
29:33What have you done with him?
29:34I hope you'll realise what a prize you've got in Miss Sedley.
29:39She's...
29:39She's an angel, George.
29:43An angel?
29:45Yes.
29:46Well, who should know that better than I?
29:53If you could have seen him this morning.
29:56Moaning...
29:57Look, morning, Michelle.
29:59Moaning.
30:00Rising on the sofa.
30:02Lolling his tongue out to the doctor.
30:06Who?
30:07Who do you think?
30:11Becky?
30:13Joseph's going away.
30:14Dear Amelia.
30:17I leave town today for Cheltenham.
30:21Pray excuse me, if you can, to the amiable Miss Sharp.
30:25For my conduct at Vauxhall.
30:27And entreat her to pardon and forget every word I may have uttered when excited by that fatal supper.
30:33And I'm truly yours, Joss Sedley.
30:38Oh, Becky, I'm so sorry.
30:41Too ashamed to face you, Miss Sharp.
30:46Nothing to be done about it.
30:50And does he act upon the counsel of his friends, Lieutenant Osborne?
30:53No, indeed, Miss Sharp.
30:58Dobbin and I did everything we could.
31:01But it was no use.
31:04His mind was made up.
31:06He has renounced his diddle-diddle darling forever.
31:09Well, if you should see him, send him my best regards.
31:18And tell him Miss Sharp forgives him.
31:22Damn you, George Osborne, for being an interfering, official snob.
31:27And damn you, Joss Sedley, for not being able to withstand your overweening friends.
31:32And damn you, Captain Dobbin, for...
31:37I don't know what.
31:41Damn you, Miss Emmy, Sedley, for being rich and happy.
31:46Well, I'm poor and put upon.
31:48Becky, are you really going?
32:15No point putting off the inevitable.
32:19Oh, why should I miss you so?
32:21Oh, and I, you, my dearest, my only friend.
32:27Goodbye, Becky, my dear.
32:30It seems such a short time.
32:33Much too short for me.
32:36I shall miss you all so much.
32:38You're going to a very good family.
32:41Crawley's a queen's crawly.
32:43They're a very old family.
32:45You'll be in a baronet's family, and that's a lot higher than what we are, Becky Sharp.
32:49I dare say they live very high.
32:51Very high indeed.
32:53I doubt their governess does.
32:55Well, here's a little something for you, Miss.
32:58Emmy tells me there's no one else to look out for you.
33:01Mr Sedley,
33:02you're too kind to a poor orphan.
33:07Indeed, I've
33:08never known such kindness as I've known here.
33:11Well, well, never mind, never mind.
33:13You must come and see us whenever you're in power.
33:14Carrot is waiting, Miss.
33:15Oh, Becky.
33:20Goodbye, Miss.
33:21All the very best.
33:26Nasty little thing.
33:30Get him!
33:31Get him!
34:01Bring that bell for me, boy.
34:21You asked to glue me on, please, eh?
34:29What do you want?
34:30Is this Sir Pitcrawley's?
34:36Yes.
34:37I brought his new governess.
34:40Hand down her trunk, then.
34:42Hand her down yourself.
34:43What do you take me for? I'm no porter.
34:46Come on, man, be quick about it.
34:47Little miss will give you some beer.
34:50Oh, well.
34:52That's the way of it.
34:53Come along there, little miss.
35:05Take this basket, please.
35:07I shall write to Mr. Sedley and inform him of your conduct.
35:16Ooh, I see.
35:19Whip him up, John.
35:20Not too warm for you.
35:38How about a drop beer, little miss?
35:39Where's Sir Pitcrawley?
35:42I think you should be told of my arrival.
35:46He's here.
35:50I'm Sir Pitcrawley.
35:54Bet you owe us me a pint of beer for bringing in your luggage.
35:57You don't believe me?
35:59Our sinkery.
36:01Mrs. Sinker.
36:02Miss Sharp.
36:03Miss Governess, Mrs. Chairwoman.
36:05Here's your Pikes, here's your Bucky, and here's your porter.
36:09Where's my change?
36:10One farthing.
36:12You can tell he's a baronet.
36:13Only baronet scares about farthings.
36:16Farthing a day, seven shillings a year.
36:19Seven shillings a year is the interest on seven guineas.
36:22Take care of the farthings and the guineas will come quite natural.
36:25Look at her stare.
36:29You'll know me better before long, miss.
36:33I'm very sorry for my mistakes, Sir Pit.
36:36And I beg that you'll forgive me.
36:41There you know.
36:41Ain't that pretty smoke?
36:42Mm-hmm.
36:49Bit for you.
36:53Bit for me.
36:55Bit for her.
37:00Nothing like a nice bit of tripe.
37:07See, I'm a baronet, but I don't put on hairs and graces.
37:13When I'm in town, Mrs. Tinker here dines with the family.
37:18Don't you, Tinker?
37:18I do, sir.
37:19Come on.
37:20Drink and drink about.
37:23This is my last night in town, Miss Sharp.
37:26As you see, we're shutting up Sharp here and you and me are off to Queen's Crawley.
37:31First thing tomorrow.
37:32Have you been in town for business or pleasure, sir?
37:38Business, my dear.
37:39Law business.
37:41He's always at law business.
37:43I've won and lost more lawsuits than any man in England.
37:45Look at all these papers.
37:53Crawley, Baronet v. Snapple.
37:56Oh, overseers of Snapple parish.
38:03Be Crawley.
38:04I'll wager you're a quick reader and write a tolerable ending.
38:15I am a good reader, sir, and I write a very fair hand.
38:19I say so myself.
38:23And you're a pretty little thing here.
38:28You are.
38:28I think we'll rub along very nicely, you and I, little miss.
38:37I hope I shall always give satisfaction, sir.
38:42Satisfaction?
38:45Yes, indeed.
38:49Right, now, you'll sleep with Tinker tonight.
38:56It's a big bed.
38:57Plenty of room for two.
38:58Lady Crawley died in it.
39:03I hadn't realised Sir Pitt was a widower.
39:07Widower?
39:08You're not a widower.
39:11No use setting your cap at him, if that's what you was thinking.
39:15It's the first Lady Crawley died in this bed.
39:19Her two sons are grown men now.
39:23I should like to see the governess of Gerdandle Vorden Crawley.
39:27That's him on the wall there.
39:28Next to his brother, Pitt.
39:30Well, then, he married an ironmonger's daughter.
39:35And two girls by her.
39:37That's all you'll be governessing.
39:38Come on.
39:48Come on.
39:50Look my weight.
39:53Down four o'clock.
40:07Down four o'clock.
40:07Round four o'clock.
40:22Oh, let's go.
40:22Drive on!
40:30Hope you don't feel the cold, miss.
40:36I do a little, sir.
40:38This will warm you up.
40:42Oh, here's a rug.
40:44Cover both of us, you see.
40:46Thank you, sir.
40:52I'll go.
41:22Oh, Billy there.
41:30Good day to you, good day.
41:34Get off this line, you thief!
41:36Picture them hearts, sir.
41:38Floggin' little souls up.
41:46Thievin' roves a lot of them.
41:50Hello, Miss Sharp.
41:54Six thousand pound of timber in them trees.
41:58First Lady Crawley.
42:00Always honor me.
42:02Say those, not them pit.
42:04Is she right?
42:06I think she was, sir, strictly speaking.
42:08Rich baronets don't need to be too particular about grammar.
42:12That's poor governess's must.
42:14It's just what I says.
42:16What a beautiful little church, sir.
42:18Is it yours?
42:20It is.
42:22And my brother Bute slip it out of it, damn his eyes.
42:24He's not a bad chap.
42:26I'd rather set the dog fight the preacher, sir.
42:28You tell him my beauty, my love.
42:30And his wife's a nasty, interfering little body.
42:32Sharp as a tech she is.
42:34Don't get yourself the wrong side of her.
42:36Here we are, Queen's Crawley.
42:38What do you think of it?
42:40It's, uh...
42:42Very fine, Sir Pit.
42:44Aye, very fine idea, see.
42:46Yeah, I think it's a good idea.
42:48It's a good idea.
42:50It's a good idea.
42:52You tell him my beauty, my love.
42:54And his wife's a nasty, interfering little body.
42:56Sharp as a tech she is.
42:58Don't get yourself the wrong side of her.
43:00Here we are, Queen's Crawley.
43:02What do you think of it?
43:04It's, uh...
43:06Very fine, Sir Pit.
43:08Aye, very fine idea, see.
43:12Goss are meant to keep up.
43:16Been in the family 400 years or so.
43:18Horrocks!
43:20Sir.
43:21Show the young lady to her room.
43:22Yes, sir.
43:23She'll meet the family at dinner.
43:29This way, yes.
43:30Now, where's my gun?
43:32My gun.
43:48Lady Crawley.
43:49This is Miss Sharp.
43:51New governess.
43:53Pleased to meet you, Miss Sharp.
43:56Likewise, my lady.
44:04I hope you'll be kind to my girls.
44:07Lord, Ma, of course she will.
44:09Lady Crawley don't say much, Miss Sharp.
44:21And that suits me well enough.
44:23The First Lady Crawley was such a quarrelsome, high-bred jade.
44:27When she died, I said,
44:28I'll have a nice, pretty girl with no airs and graces, and...
44:35That's what I done.
44:37She's not as cheery as I hoped she'd be, but...
44:40By and large, I don't regret it.
44:42And pity is me elder son by the First Lady Crawley.
44:51He's known as Mr. Crawley.
44:54He's a dull dog, but there you are.
44:57Hm?
44:58Ah, how do you do?
45:00Charmed, I'm sure, sir.
45:03Might I inquire what you're perusing?
45:05Um, it's a pamphlet of my own composition.
45:12On malt.
45:14On malt?
45:16That's so interesting to me, sir.
45:20I hope you'll let me read it one day.
45:25Why, yes, of course, Miss, er...
45:27Miss Sharp.
45:30Of course, Miss Sharp, if you wish.
45:32And, er, is your brother Mr. Rawdon Crawley here as well, sir?
45:39No.
45:44Rawdon don't care for country life, Miss Sharp.
45:47And pity I don't care for Rawdon.
45:50Pitt's...
45:52a bore, you see, and Rawdon's a bit of a blackguard.
45:56Captain in the lifeguards.
45:58We don't see much of him down at Queen's Crawley.
46:00He will come, my dear.
46:02When Miss Crawley visits,
46:05the whole family will...
46:07be here then.
46:09That's because Miss Crawley's got all the money.
46:11Ain't it, Mum?
46:15Dinner is served, my lady.
46:18Boat time.
46:19What have we got, Horrocks?
46:21Potage du mouton à l'Écosse, sir.
46:24Mutton?
46:27Yes, sir.
46:29Can't think of anything nicer.
46:32One of our black-faced scotch, was it?
46:35Yes, sir.
46:36Excellent.
46:38In we go.
46:40Lord of all the sins and vices which degrade the human character,
46:45drunkenness, is the most odious and contemptible.
46:53Save us, Almighty Father, from that undue love of drink,
46:56which leads to the most monstrous of crimes,
46:59and occasions the greatest misfortune.
47:01Grant us, O blessed Redeemer, that strength, that we may resist temptation.
47:15For as a drunken man will impoverish his family,
47:20and often lead them to ruin.
47:23My dearest Amelia,
47:25what a change between today and yesterday.
47:28Queen's Crawley is the ugliest, dismalest place you could imagine.
47:33Sir Pitt is a vulgar old fellow, half drunk from morning to night,
47:38but he's quite good-natured and may be getting a soft spot for me.
47:42I've caught you, me beauty.
47:53What?
47:55What's the matter, sir?
47:57No candles up till eleven o'clock.
48:01You can go to bed in the dark, you...
48:04pretty little hussy.
48:07Or I'll let go of here, have you?
48:12I'll let go of here.
48:15He's killed a man as well, huh?
48:18I believe you, sir.
48:23Blow you out then, my pretty.
48:29Good night, sir.
48:30Good night, sir.
48:43Good night, my dear.
48:45What?
48:47What?
48:49What?
49:02Who is the bear coming?
49:06What?
