Short filmTranscript
00:22The Countess is here to see you, Mrs Hart.
00:25Mummy, what a dreadful week for you.
00:28I just can't bear it.
00:30I said to the florist, your absolute best bouquet, though no roses.
00:33And the girl knew immediately they must be for you.
00:35How about that?
00:36Oh, those wretched papers.
00:38I was so pleased when you suggested lunch.
00:40Are you surviving?
00:41When have you known me not to?
00:43Hello, darling.
00:44I put Patsy's for 1.30.
00:45Will that do?
00:46Janet, I swear she saw Sinatra there only last Tuesday.
00:48My favourite thing to say is that she's done it all for her family,
00:50which is ludicrous, of course,
00:52for a woman who's spent every moment of her adult life avoiding her family
00:56and making grand speeches about bloody revenge.
00:59She's pathetic.
01:01There's a downside, of course,
01:03to making certain one's children never want for anything at all.
01:07And that's being forced to watch them stroll through life,
01:11taking everything in their path for granted.
01:13Mummy, I'm so sorry.
01:14What would you like to explain first, my love?
01:17Your detailed expose to the press of my confidential medical records?
01:21Or your use, too, Mr. Fairley, of the word harridan?
01:26I can explain.
01:27Well, I'd love to hear it, darling.
01:31Truly, I'd love to understand.
01:34Because everything I've ever done has been for my family.
01:54Oh, no!
01:56Oh, no!
01:57Oh, no!
02:09Time sheets, Mr. Farber.
02:11Thanks.
02:13It is all, well, at home.
02:21What about it?
02:22I know some of the staff at the hall were wondering if Emma might have been in touch
02:26with any news, around now.
02:33It's been months since we saw her.
02:36It's been six months.
02:39Six and a half.
02:44She sends money, every month.
02:47Postmark leads.
02:48She's got a good head on her shoulders, Mr. Fairley.
02:51She gets some weight.
02:53No address, no news.
02:55Don't want us to worry.
02:57Anyway, so congratulations are in order for your engagement.
03:04Have a later shift to keep awake.
03:37Now, Mrs. Fairweather, I've been up all night finishing this dress just for you.
03:43So I believe this will be exactly what you're after.
03:45Where do you find the time, Mrs. Hart, in your condition?
03:48There's a name for Mrs. Hart's condition. Tireless.
03:51The fact is, Mrs. Hart, I'm also in the family way.
03:54Congratulations, Mrs. Fairweather.
03:56Perhaps I could make you a skirt like mine with a drawstring waist.
03:58See? Wraps around my front like so.
04:00Well, come and see me and I'll get you measured up. See you soon.
04:08I've never had a shop assistant bring as much costume as you.
04:11It's all adding up.
04:12Three quarters for you, Mr. Lowther.
04:16And a quarter for her.
04:18Your plan? With a capital P?
04:20Capital B for baby.
04:23I'm saving.
04:24Well, you're not saving energy.
04:26I'll sit down when the baby's born.
04:27That's how it works when you're a mother, isn't it?
04:29You do nothing but rest.
04:31Well, I'm not sure that is how it works.
04:33Mrs. Barlow, I was hoping you'd be in.
04:35You've got to love this.
05:00Oh, thank God.
05:08All safe and sound in there.
05:12I'm going to keep you that way.
05:17Okay.
05:18I'm going to keep you that way.
05:33I'm not sure that is how it works.
05:34I don't know if you're going to keep you in there.
05:34I'm on the right.
05:41I'm not sure if you're going to keep you in there.
05:54Oh, my God.
05:56Oh, my God.
06:00No!
06:15All right in there? Having a little play?
06:28Won't be long.
06:32Not slacking up, I hope, Mrs Hart?
06:34Lunch. Don't worry, though, we've not stopped working.
06:37I can forbid.
06:45Closing for the day already? She's never opened.
06:52I think you'd be very pleased with what I've got for you today.
06:56The new silks are perfect.
06:58And to you, only three and six a yard.
07:01Sharon will only pay you two and six, then.
07:03Three shillings.
07:04Two and nine.
07:06Oh, you're a tyrant.
07:12Are those pin marks on those fingers?
07:14Mrs Hart, how long have you been working for Joel Elder?
07:16Six months, is it?
07:17And every minute of that you've worked like a dog.
07:19Look, people love to tell me to slow down, but babies don't write ahead and make appointments.
07:23And I am running out of time.
07:25The money's not coming in quick enough.
07:28Does your husband mind you working so hard?
07:31He's working too. I've told you the Navy can't spare him.
07:35Well, he's missing out, is all I'd say.
07:39I expect you'll miss him too, being away from home.
07:42I miss my dad and my brother.
07:45No time to miss anyone else.
07:47Anyway, I'm saving up so when the baby's born I can have two months off.
07:50Maybe even three, if I work hard in these last few weeks.
07:53It's looking like another record-breaking day.
07:57Teamwork, Mr Lowther?
07:59I don't think so.
08:00When I watch you selling, you don't have a mind like a woman's at all.
08:05Yours is more like a man's.
08:07Is there a difference?
08:10You're living here now, are you?
08:11I've got work to do.
08:16Is this the new cloth?
08:17Looks pricey.
08:18It was supposed to be.
08:20Is to replace the Fairley stuff, Mr Lowther.
08:22The fact is, customers can spot it.
08:24Cloth from the Fairley mill is just bad quality.
08:26Rotten, some might say.
08:31We've lost another cloth, Aldrin.
08:33More complaints about the quality.
08:36A lot of that equipment is old and tired.
08:39And we can't keep asking the men to work around the clock.
08:42Your usual grabers who don't pay the plebs enough money.
08:44Now we're offering night-time hours, suddenly they have to be home for their tea.
08:47They're not plebs. They're people.
08:49Who have rights and feelings.
08:53Priya!
08:54You're back!
08:58Sorry. Long day.
09:01You must be tired.
09:06Edwin, Priya and I were hoping that tomorrow we might get down to the real business of the week.
09:10Wedding planning.
09:12We should talk about churches, certainly.
09:16It's summer's date.
09:17I was hoping we might decide on a date, at least, while I'm here.
09:20Hm.
09:21Because your father's a busy man.
09:22Silvery Crone needs to make plans.
09:26So...
09:28We must get every wedding detail fixed, mustn't we, Edwin?
09:32He's preoccupied at work.
09:34Hm.
09:35Good old Edwin.
09:36Doing all he can to save the business.
09:38Yes.
09:38Hm.
09:42,

12:40are those lily of the valley
12:44Yes, glorious, aren't they? There's hundreds of them out there.
12:50They do that. They're invasive, if left unchecked.
12:57Lily of the Valley will simply take over the whole garden.
13:01You can't get rid of them.
13:13Well, find that vase.
13:34Oh, sorry, we're closed.
13:37Your guard dog's not with you, no?
13:39Mr Kalinske just does the deliveries. He's only being kind.
13:42Oh, kind, is he? As well as handsome.
13:50Like you were born to work here.
13:59Emma Hart, are you going to avoid looking at me for the whole rest of your life?
14:05What's going on, darling?
14:17Dad doesn't know I'm here.
14:19And he mustn't.
14:21I can't take trouble to his door.
14:25Not after, ma'am.
14:28I haven't seen him.
14:30I haven't seen him.
14:33How can I afford to bring up this baby by myself?
14:39Fine.
14:44How the hell have you got yourself in this old mess?
15:00It was a lad back home.
15:03You don't know him.
15:05He let me down.
15:07Then I'll thrash the living day, lads.
15:09No need.
15:11He said he'd marry me at first and ran away to join the Navy.
15:18And this?
15:21Nobody thinks bad of me.
15:25And also because I like remembering.
15:27Remembering him?
15:28Remembering I won't ever again let someone make me feel the way he did.
15:33Not till the day I die.
15:35Not till the day I die.
15:36I'm remembering what drives me now.
15:38What will drive me my whole life.
15:42Revenge.
15:47Emma, how are you going to look after the baby and work?
15:52I'm making dresses.
15:54And I'm good.
15:56I am.
15:57I get such a thrill to see the money pile up.
16:00I've saved up for two months, which means that when the baby's born I can stop a while.
16:09Did you drop something?
16:10You know I'll marry you.
16:13Emma Hart.
16:14And happily.
16:16It'd be an honour.
16:19Emma.
16:20Emma, will you marry me?
16:25You're the best man I know.
16:28I'm sure to marry you would be a privilege.
16:30A burden more like.
16:31Have you seen these shoulders?
16:33I could look after the both of you.
16:36I know.
16:38I know you would.
16:41But I've got it planned.
16:43I'm going to look after us myself.
16:46Somehow.
16:47I'm going to be a mother, Mac.
16:49A mum.
16:50I'm going to have a real baby.
16:52The most precious thing you can have.
16:54And more than anything I've ever done, I want to take care of it.
16:58Well I could have at least and I...
17:00Mac.
17:02You have the biggest heart I know.
17:05It's bursting.
17:06Which is why I want you to be able to give that heart to someone you love.
17:09For real.
17:11Not just a girl you feel sorry for.
17:13Ah, Emma, but...
17:14The answer's no.
17:16It's a no with the biggest thank you in the world.
17:28You might want to...
17:30Get under that seat with the...
17:33Sweeping brush.
17:34The...
17:34Dust is shocking.
17:46Good morning.
17:50Good morning.
17:52Good morning.
18:18Let me rent next door.
18:20Let me rent it from you and open a dress shop.
18:21My own shop filled with dresses made by me.
18:24Give me one reason why not.
18:26Oh, you only want one.
18:27Well, which reason do you want?
18:29That you've no experience running a shop?
18:32That you've no experience running a business of any kind?
18:34That you're barely 19?
18:36That you're pregnant?
18:37Mr Lowther, the answer to all of them is the same.
18:39I can do it.
18:40Mrs Hart, that's fanciful at best.
18:42Two people are filled in that shop this year.
18:44Two inefficient people?
18:45Mrs Cleveland, her stock was shoddy and too expensive for its quality.
18:48She didn't know her customers.
18:49I do.
18:50I know what kind of clothes they're like.
18:52And I'm good.
18:53You know I am.
18:54And you said it yourself.
18:55I'm a grafter.
18:56I can sell.
18:57Which is why I can't afford to lose you from my shop.
18:59You wouldn't be losing me.
19:00We'll drive business to each other.
19:02Right now, when people come in, all they see is rolls of cloth.
19:05With my dress shop next door, you'll have a showroom for what that cloth can become.
19:08Double your profits in a month.
19:10Treble them, probably.
19:11Plus, I'll be your best customer.
19:12Every dress that I sell, I'll be buying the cloth from you.
19:15And the shop's empty, Mr Lover.
19:17Gathering dust.
19:18I can take it off your hands today.
19:20Now.
19:20This minute.
19:21So you don't lose a moment's rent.
19:22Mrs Hart, you forget I know your circumstances.
19:25You live in my upstairs room.
19:27The deposit on that shop is sky high.
19:41I have enough in here for your deposit.
19:44And because I know you're nervous about me, which you won't be the moment you see the profits I bring
19:47in.
19:48I know you usually ask for four weeks' rent in advance.
19:51But I have enough in here for eight.
19:54It's all in here.
19:57Take it.
19:58Mrs Hart.
20:00But I need to remind you.
20:02You're having a baby.
20:04That's a need to take care of.
20:06And it's why I'm absolutely certain that this is right.
20:16You're having a baby.
20:19I'm so happy.
20:22I'm so happy.
20:25I'm so happy.
20:28Thank you, asseY.
20:30I can't believe it.
20:31I can do this.
20:33That's a need to be prepared for you.
20:36I can't believe it.
20:36I can believe it.
20:36You're having a baby.
20:36I can give you a baby.
20:37You're having a baby.
20:37I can't believe it.
20:37I can't believe it.
21:15Oh, I'm sorry.
21:16No, it's fine. I was just...
21:17I was just walking home.
21:18You're allowed to walk where you like.
21:23Nice aim. You got there?
21:24I've sat through three days now of your aunt talking about bridal bouquets
21:28and of you and your father shouting at each other about looms.
21:31I had some steam to let off.
21:39Oh!
21:41Okay, let's see.
21:44Not bad, not bad.
21:45Not bad.
21:48Terrible.
21:50Dreadful.
21:53Well, there'll be one on your bad dinner.
21:55Yes.
21:59You know, when you asked me to marry you,
22:01I thought we had a connection.
22:04That you were optimistic, like me.
22:07You seemed starry-eyed.
22:10And I wasn't sure if we made each other's hearts sore.
22:12Not too many people talk about hearts soaring in books.
22:15You probably don't read those kind of books.
22:18Not really.
22:20But you know the concept of hearts soaring?
22:25Yes.
22:26Anyway, I just wanted to say,
22:29not everyone gets that.
22:30The hearts soaring.
22:32That's not what life is, I don't think.
22:35But recently,
22:37stars have left those eyes of yours and
22:40I know this engagement pleases your father
22:42and he's not an easy man to please, but
22:46we could just walk away.
22:52There's a lot to be said for pleasing people.
22:56And not just parents.
22:59Priya,
23:01I wouldn't have asked you.
23:04I wouldn't have considered it if I had intended
23:08somehow
23:10to do my very best to please you.
23:15Well, let me know, will you?
23:18when the trying to please me starts.
23:43Mother,
23:45how are you?
23:48I suppose I
23:49wanted to see you.
23:53If you don't mind.
24:06Because everything just feels a bit
24:09wrong somehow.
24:12Priya's a sweet girl in many ways.
24:13Where is your father?
24:18He never comes to me.
24:20Your father never comes anywhere near me.
24:22Where is he?
24:25He's not back yet.
24:27I don't know.
24:28He's been busy at the mill.
24:29But does he not know that I'm here, Edwin?
24:33And I'm not nobody.
24:36I'm not nobody.
24:38I'm not nobody.
24:42I'm not nobody.
24:43But take your hands with me.
24:51Stop it!
24:54Get out!
24:55I'm sorry.
24:58I'm sorry.
25:00Sorry.
25:07Sorry.
25:37I'm sorry.
25:41Shelves here, rails of dresses here and here, and a fitting area here.
25:46And also a range of elasticated skirts for pregnant women.
25:49And a chair for them, but also for people like you.
25:53Menfolk.
25:55And there'll be a fire. The shop will always be warm.
25:57And you'll pay to heat it, will you?
25:59Yes, and it'll be worth it, because people will want to come.
26:01And every customer will be greeted by name.
26:03And Emma, in a few weeks' time, the baby.
26:08I'll manage.
26:11I'll manage.
26:35I'll manage.
26:42Oh.
26:50Fire!
26:51Fire!
26:52No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
27:24No, no, no, no, no.
27:33No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
28:08No, no, no, no, no, no.
28:28No, no, no, no, no.
28:55No, no, no, no, no.
29:01No, no, no, no, no.
29:31No, no, no, no, no, no.
29:49No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
30:18No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
30:43No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
31:33No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
32:03No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
32:07no, no, no, no, no, no.
32:07Because look at her mother.
32:14She didn't even cry.
32:19So what has she got to cry about?
32:24What are you going to say when the registrar asks for her father's name?
32:31When no.
32:34Emma, don't go making her unknown.
32:36Don't give her that.
32:40But me.
32:44Mac, it's such a responsibility.
32:46And how do I have to be telling you again about these shoulders?
33:01Well, darling, how do you feel?
33:10I'm going to feel me and Edwina might be safe.
33:16Sure if that little girl's not the luckiest in the world.
33:21No one in my family is going to suffer.
33:23Not ever again.
33:51No one in my family is going to look at me.
33:54I don't know.
34:44Do you mind, darling?
34:50Stay, Olivia.
34:52Please.
35:00I will stay in this house while my son needs me.
35:03Then, the moment Edwin's well, I need to be too.
35:08I need to leave.
35:22My darling, I've not been the mother you deserve.
35:30And I'm so sorry.
35:33But I promise I will put this right.
35:38I promise you.
36:08It's all right.
36:09I'm so sorry.
36:30I'm so sorry.
36:33I'm so sorry.
36:35Ma-PRK
36:45Hey...
37:08you're my baby girl
37:11yes you are
37:13and Edwina you are so loved
37:15so loved
37:18and I won't let anything
37:20happen to you
37:22I'll take care of you
37:26and you will have the best
37:27of everything
37:30I promise you
37:33you know
37:34that's fair
37:35he's turned their back on us
37:37because they think
37:38they're better than us
37:39that's what they think
37:41and if it takes my whole life
37:43all of my energy
