00:00It's now three years later, and Mackenzie's son, Jamie, has gained a place at Cambridge.
00:05Jamie and Lisa Isaacs drive down for the day to inspect his new college.
00:17Diana!
01:41Oh, Jamie, we must go in a pump.
01:43I want to see you dangling from the end of the pole.
01:45Fat chance.
02:00Oh, I do love it.
02:02Oh, the dreaming spires and all that rubbish.
02:04Idiot, that's Oxford.
02:06Same to me.
02:08Stop pretending to be so blasé.
02:10You know perfectly well you're thrilled to be.
02:11And so am I.
02:12Yeah, you certainly are.
02:40Yeah, you certainly are.
02:42I still fancy you and me.
02:44It's in June, didn't you know?
02:46Of course I did.
02:48I've just seen if you did.
02:49Anyway, it gives me another month to look around.
02:59Well, there it is.
03:01Oh, Jamie, you are lucky.
03:02I wish I could be here.
03:04It'd be a sensation.
03:06Let's go in.
03:06No, I'd rather not.
03:08We're bound to run into some old retainer babbling on about this young gentleman.
03:12Well, what's wrong with that?
03:14I had enough of it in my interview.
03:17They're so bloody obsequious.
03:20As if you were better than they are, only they don't mind because it's an act of God.
03:24Well, it's tradition, that's all.
03:26Frightfully English and all that.
03:28Sorry, British.
03:30I bet it's not the same at St. Andrews.
03:32I bet it is.
03:38Hey, why don't you look where you're going?
03:43Bloody fool.
03:46What's he doing here, anyway?
03:48I thought they'd all gone down for their long vac by now.
03:51He's probably a post-grad.
03:53Bloody chinless wonder.
03:57I'd say staying on here when you could get a job.
04:00I think three years would be enough for anyone.
04:22What's the matter with you?
04:23You're in a rotten mood.
04:25Oh, I don't know.
04:28Come on, it's time we were getting back.
04:30Well, we haven't been in a punt yet.
04:33God, you're not serious, are you?
04:35Of course I am, you promised.
04:37I thought you were joking.
04:40All right, come on.
04:54Time I was off, I suppose.
04:56Already?
04:57Why don't you wait till Jamie comes?
04:58He'd like to see you.
05:00All right.
05:01He's a bit late, isn't he?
05:02Well, he's got to take Lisa home.
05:09Is it serious?
05:11No, they're much too young.
05:15You weren't much older when you got married.
05:17You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand.
05:23You don't have to say forever, I will understand.
05:29Believe me, believe me, I can't help but love you.
05:35Good day, you promised.
05:37I know.
05:38I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to.
05:40It's all right.
05:56And we still haven't fixed a date.
06:00No.
06:01We can't leave it much longer.
06:05Look, lovey, if your annulment doesn't come through soon, we'll just have to go ahead without it.
06:10I mean, we can't go on waiting indefinitely.
06:13I know.
06:15You've been very patient.
06:16I don't look so serious.
06:21If we have a civil wedding now, we can always have a Catholic one later on.
06:25Just as soon as you get your bit of paper.
06:29Ah, that's Jamie now.
06:33Hello, Jamie.
06:34Hello, sir.
06:35Good to see you.
06:36Well, do you have a nice time?
06:38It was all right.
06:40Was Lisa impressed?
06:41Yeah, she thought it was all fantastic.
06:47You might as well know right away I've decided not to go there.
06:51Why?
06:52It's all right, really, it is.
06:54I've just changed my mind, that's all.
06:56About Cambridge?
06:57Yes.
06:58But you were so set on it.
07:00No, you were.
07:02You and Dad, and you, sir.
07:04So I thought I was, too.
07:06I didn't really have a choice.
07:08Anyway, it was a challenge seeing if I could get in.
07:12Jamie, this isn't the sort of opportunity that you turn down lightly, you know.
07:16No, I realise that, sir.
07:17I've been thinking about it for months.
07:19Ever since the interview, really.
07:21The day was just the last straw.
07:23Whatever happened?
07:24Nothing.
07:25Absolutely nothing.
07:27I just decided it's not the place for me.
07:30I don't feel at home now.
07:32Well, that's hardly the point, is it?
07:34Your whole future is at stake.
07:36That's exactly what I'm thinking of, sir.
07:38Jamie, how can you throw away this chance?
07:41You worked so hard for it.
07:44Your father's not going to like this.
07:46Hugh, must be out of your bloody minds.
07:48It's just as well I'm not going.
07:49Don't get clever with me.
07:50I've spent a lot of money on your education,
07:52and I'm not having it thrown away when it's just starting to pay off.
07:55Who needs it?
07:56You didn't go to Cambridge, did you?
07:58Or bloody public school.
08:00You started work at 14.
08:01You seem to have done all right.
08:03Aye, and I worked hard for it.
08:04And it's all the more reason for you to do better
08:06with all the advantages I've given you.
08:08What advantages?
08:09Going to a post school?
08:11You had your reasons for sending me there and Duncan, too.
08:15And you forgot about him.
08:16You were glad enough to see the back of us then
08:19for reasons of your own,
08:20and they didn't have much to do with education.
08:22Aye, that's enough.
08:23Now, look here.
08:23You've got a place at Cambridge.
08:24You're bloody lucky to have it, and you're going to take it.
08:26And that's all I have to say on the matter.
08:27No, Dad, I'm sorry.
08:28I'm not going.
08:29Jamie, please.
08:30Your father's right.
08:31You always stick up for him.
08:33I wonder you aren't sick of it by now.
08:34My God, I've been too soft with you.
08:36It's a pity I didn't think I was strapped to you when you were young.
08:38Yeah, you'd have enjoyed that, wouldn't you?
08:40Well, it's a bit late now.
08:41You lay a hand on me.
08:42I'll take you apart.
08:43Who are you and who else?
08:45For God's sake, you two!
08:47I'm ashamed of you.
08:48Have you both gone raving mad?
08:52I'm going to make some tea.
08:59So, you're not going to Cambridge.
09:01You're going to throw away the chance of a lifetime, and I can't stop you.
09:05Well, don't you think I'm going to keep you in idleness while you strum that guitar of you?
09:09Is there any nonsense like that?
09:12Rather thought you might give me a job.
09:14What?
09:15Why not?
09:16Sons often go into the family business.
09:18I could be very useful to you.
09:20Oh, really?
09:21Doing what?
09:22Something in your finance department, I think.
09:24But you've got no qualifications.
09:26Oh, come on, Dad.
09:27If I was good enough to read maths at Cambridge, I'm good enough to work in your finance department.
09:32They didn't all go to university, those guys.
09:35I've been talking to them.
09:36You can do all that at night school.
09:38What really counts is practical experience.
09:41Well, since you're so keen on practical experience, I'll give you a job.
09:45You can work in one of my building sites.
09:47You can be a tea boy.
09:49You can hunt bricks, mix cement, and put window frames up.
09:51And you can start at the bottom and work your way up, if you're good enough.
09:55Because that's what people with no qualifications have to do.
09:59I think I'm worth a bit more than that.
10:01No, not to me, you're not.
10:02You're still wet behind the ears.
10:03You've never done a day's work in your life.
10:05It's not your fault, but it's a fact.
10:07Now, turning down Cambridge, that is another matter.
10:09That is your fault.
10:10And if you do that, you're worth no more to me than any other boy off the street.
10:12Right.
10:13At least I know where I stand.
10:14You can stuff your job.
10:29I'll try and talk him around, make him see sense.
10:32But you do agree with me.
10:34Yes.
10:35It's a wonderful opportunity.
10:37We can't let him throw it away.
10:38I'd have given my eye teeth for a chance like that when I was his age.
10:41And he just doesn't care.
10:42It's all my fault.
10:43He's had everything too easy.
10:44He'll maybe come round if we play our cards right.
10:53It was very provoking.
11:31Hello, Jamie.
11:33I'm afraid Lisa's not here.
11:34She's going to play tennis.
11:35That's all right, sir.
11:36It's you I want to see.
11:37Oh, come on in.
11:43Have you fixed the wedding day yet?
11:47No, but nearly.
11:49You know I wish you well, don't you?
11:52Both of you.
11:54Yes.
11:58You've had a rough time.
11:59I don't know how you've stuck it.
12:03But he's a good man.
12:05He should be very happy.
12:07I think so.
12:09Where are you going to live?
12:11Well, at the school, of course, during term time.
12:14Now that Jamie's left, it won't be quite so embarrassing.
12:16That's one of the reasons we waited.
12:18And then we thought we might buy somewhere small on the south coast for the holidays.
12:24We'd both like to be near the sea.
12:28Sounds ideal.
12:30Have you got the annulment?
12:32No, not yet.
12:35I never thought I'd see the day when you went against your church.
12:38No.
12:41Well, it's not an easy decision.
12:43Well, we have waited a long time and it's something we can always put right later.
12:46I'm not blaming you.
12:47I think you're absolutely right.
12:52I'm only sorry it's happening just now.
12:55And she's not with you.
12:57Do you ever hear from her?
13:00No.
13:04She lives in New York.
13:09Running a model agency.
13:12She doesn't keep in touch.
13:15She showed no interest in the child.
13:17Well, she never did.
13:20It's over.
13:21It's been over for years, though.
13:22I'd never met her.
13:24I'm sorry.
13:27You loved her very much.
13:29Oh, well.
13:31Serves me right.
13:45I know this isn't what you've come to hear, Jamie.
13:49But I think your father's right.
13:51You'd be throwing away a great opportunity.
13:54I've had the chance of going to Cambridge.
13:56That's just what Dad said.
13:58Don't you see?
13:59I can't go there just because everyone else wishes they could.
14:03That's not the point.
14:04I have to go there because it's the best thing for me or not at all.
14:07And I know I'd be better off doing a job.
14:11What sort of a job?
14:12Something to do with property.
14:14It's all I'm interested in.
14:15Why didn't you take the job your father offered you?
14:17That wasn't a job.
14:19He was just trying to punish me for not going to Cambridge.
14:23When I went into my father's firm, I'd already got my degree.
14:26But I still had to start at the bottom.
14:28I was just a glorified office boy doing the copying, making tea,
14:32going out with negotiators and watching them work.
14:35There was nothing glamorous about it.
14:37I wouldn't mind that.
14:38Not in your firm.
14:39You wouldn't be trying to humiliate me the way my father is.
14:44Are you asking me for a job?
14:50Robbie?
14:51Robbie, are you all right?
14:54I'm just tired.
14:56Shall I make some coffee?
15:00I'm not drunk, if that's what you're thinking.
15:14I don't want to go home.
15:17It's not a home anymore.
15:18It's just a house.
15:21Me and the child and the nanny in it, and that's all it is.
15:26I'm all alone there, Gene.
15:30Without a judgment on me, I should have never left you.
15:34That's all there is to it.
15:44Well, goodbye, then.
15:46Goodbye.
16:03No, thanks.
16:06You know you're crazy.
16:08Why?
16:08That boy.
16:09He's nothing but trouble.
16:11I don't see why.
16:13He's not trying to marry Lisa, if that's what you're afraid of.
16:16He's just after a job.
16:18Up to you.
16:19Nothing to do with me.
16:20But?
16:21You are crazy.
16:23This whole thing is between him and his father.
16:25But you have to step right in the middle of it.
16:27He's a bright boy.
16:28Why shouldn't I give him a chance?
16:29Because Robert's going to hate it, that's why.
16:32I can't spend my life pleasing Robert.
16:34You might even feel you're trying to steal his son.
16:38Oh, come on.
16:39Robert doesn't want to give him a job, and I do.
16:41We've got a vacancy, as it happens, and I think he might do rather well.
16:45I like the way he came straight in here and asked for what he wanted.
16:48I like his nerve.
16:49Oh, David.
16:49No, in this business, you've got to make your own luck half the time,
16:51and he can.
16:53That's a gift.
16:55Taking a big risk.
16:57So, maybe it's time I did.
17:00Some people even enjoy living dangerously.
17:03Do they?
17:05Don't you?
17:07I can't recognise you in this mood.
17:12Well, it's nice to know I can still surprise you.
17:21Janey, your breakfast's on the table.
17:23I'll be right down.
17:25Suit yourself.
17:26I'm off out now.
17:26Good luck.
17:35Looks great.
17:37Don't let it get cold.
17:39Mum, have you thought about bridesmaids at all?
17:42What?
17:43Only I was thinking, you like Lisa, don't you?
17:46And I know she's going to be upset about me not going to Cambridge.
17:49But she's hurt her heart on the May ball and all that rubbish.
17:52So I thought it might cheer her up if you asked her to be a bridesmaid at your wedding.
17:57Wow, all this Jewish Catholic nonsense won't matter in her register office, will it?
18:01And Lisa loves dressing up.
18:03I know it's silly, but I think she'd like it, that's all.
18:05You wouldn't mind, would you?
18:07I can't talk about it just now.
18:08I'm going to be late for work.
18:09What's the matter?
18:10I haven't got time to go into it just now.
18:12What is there to go into?
18:13You either want Lisa for a bridesmaid or you don't.
18:16You can't be narrow-minded like her mother.
18:18You just can't.
18:19I know you're not.
18:21I'm sorry, Jamie.
18:22I can't have Lisa for a bridesmaid.
18:24Why not?
18:24What's wrong with her?
18:25Nothing, nothing.
18:26You like her, don't you?
18:27Yes, I like her.
18:28Only, well, I'm not getting married.
18:31What?
18:32I'm sorry.
18:34But the organ.
18:35He loves you.
18:36He's been hoping and waiting all this time.
18:38Mum, you gave him your word.
18:40You promised.
18:40Yes, well, I'm sorry, Jamie.
18:41I've changed my mind, that's all.
18:43Well, you can't.
18:43It's too late for that.
18:44No.
18:45It's Dad, isn't it?
18:47I could kill him.
18:48What's he been saying to you?
19:00The area manager is Mr. Watson, and he and his staff will be happy to assist you with any problems
19:05you may have.
19:06Yours, et cetera, et cetera.
19:09Right, I think that's a lot for now, Lorna.
19:11Will you be around for dinner?
19:13Tonight?
19:14Well, uh, I don't think I can.
19:16I've got a lot of work to do tonight.
19:17Tomorrow's meeting to prepare for us.
19:19Oh, pity.
19:20I bought two wonderful steaks.
19:23Well, if I get through in time, I'll ring you.
19:25Well, I may have gone out by then.
19:27You know how impatient I get.
19:31What the hell have you been saying to my mother?
19:34Thank you, Lorna.
19:35I can say I've been wasting my money.
19:37They don't teach you any manners at that school.
19:38What did you say to her?
19:40He was the best thing that ever happened to her, and she's turned him down because of you.
19:43Hammond.
19:44Don't pretend you didn't know.
19:46You got at her last night, didn't you?
19:48While I was out, made her feel guilty.
19:51Told her how lonely you are, how shocked the Pope would be.
19:54Jamie, as far as I know, the wedding's still on.
19:56Don't give me that.
19:58You can't bear to see her happy, can you?
20:01God, you make me sick.
20:05It's all right for you to leave her.
20:06Go off with that woman.
20:08All right for you to send us off to boarding school for six years and leave my mother all alone.
20:13But the minute she finds someone decent to look after her and make her happy, that's not all right, is
20:18it?
20:18You have to come whining back and mess it all up.
20:22Jamie, I give you my word.
20:23Yeah?
20:24We know how much that's worth.
20:27I'm getting out of here.
20:28I don't like the smell.
20:30Oh, by the way, just for the record, I'll start work on Monday for Isaacson's son.
20:35Oh, I?
20:35As office boy?
20:37As assistant to their negotiator for residential properties.
20:41I'll say this for you.
20:42You may have no manners to speak of, but you certainly don't lack imagination.
20:46You're going to be so sorry I'm not working for you because I'm going to do you a lot of
20:50damage.
20:50As you are not working for you because I'm not working for you to have an affront to the sensibilities.
21:13I want you to live forever.
21:15Quite a simple request.

24:03about this
24:03jean please jean jean look jean
24:11jean jean
24:46so
26:48Thank you for staying on Lorna.
26:49You can get off home now.
26:52I'll leave all that. I'll sort it out.
26:54I want to talk to you.
26:56I want it keep. I'm very tired.
26:58I have to meet Kovacs.
26:59They won't take long.
27:01I'd just like to know where I stand, that's all.
27:03I get the feeling you've been avoiding me lately.
27:06Well, forgive me for being so blunt, but it seemed the best way.
27:10After all, we've never been exactly sentimental about our relationship, have we?
27:13Either of us.
27:15No.
27:16I thought that was one of the reasons it worked so well.
27:20Well, it has worked well, hasn't it?
27:22I mean, it certainly suited me.
27:25Has something happened to change all that?
27:27Not really.
27:27That means it has.
27:29No!
27:29Look, you can tell me.
27:30You know I'm not the type to make a scene.
27:36Nothing's happened, Lorna.
27:38It's just that...
27:40Well, I don't think I've been very fair to you.
27:42I mean, you have your future to consider.
27:45You shouldn't be wasting your time with me.
27:47Oh, is it really such a waste?
27:50Well, I have nothing to offer you.
27:52I mean, I've been very selfish.
27:54I enjoy your company and your, uh, butt.
27:59Yes, but you're still in love with Diana.
28:01I'm very tired, Lorna.
28:03Right, well, thank you for being so honest with me.
28:05Look, I hope...
28:06See you in the morning.
28:14How was New York?
28:16I'm sorry, my friend.
28:17I didn't see her.
28:19I talked to Piers.
28:20He said she was away.
28:22I don't think he was lying.
28:24She doesn't write.
28:26She doesn't phone.
28:28I didn't think it was possible to miss someone so much.
28:31You mustn't let Diana crush you like this.
28:35And you've been working too hard.
28:37I've been watching you.
28:38When do you enjoy yourself?
28:39I enjoy working.
28:41That's what I want to talk to you about.
28:42I've been thinking of going public.
28:44Oh, that's your new excitement.
28:46Don't you approve?
28:48It was only a matter of time.
28:50Do you think it's too soon?
28:52No.
28:54No, I welcome the chance to capitalize on an investment.
28:58Oh, yes.
28:58Your bank should do very well out of it.
29:00And so will you.
29:01We will all do well.
29:03Otherwise, we won't do it at all.
29:06I thought I'd mention it to you now, because it's not something we can do in a hurry.
29:09Oh, no.
29:10It'll take time.
29:11A year, maybe longer.
29:13We have to pick our moment.
29:15And we must have people with the best reputation to ensure the issue is a success.
29:20I'll introduce you to them.
29:22Is that you, Mr. McKenzie?
29:25Oh, I am glad you're back.
29:27What's happened?
29:28Is Adrienne all right?
29:29Oh, she's fine.
29:30She's asleep.
29:31No, I've had bad news.
29:32It's my sister.
29:33She's had a stroke.
29:34Oh, Nanny.
29:35I am sorry.
29:36They rang me two hours ago, but I didn't know where to reach you.
29:39I'd like to go to her, if you don't mind.
29:42Yes, of course you must.
29:44Would you like to go tonight?
29:46Oh, if I could.
29:48Will you and Adrienne be all right?
29:50Oh, yes.
29:50We'll be fine.
29:51For a few days.
29:53Well, it may be a bit longer than that.
29:56But I'll ring you when I know how bad she is.
30:02How about going dancing tomorrow night?
30:05I don't know.
30:05Maybe down at the cottage.
30:07Come and ask Mummy now.
30:08I'd rather not.
30:09That's my father's car.
30:12You'll only want to know how the job's going.
30:14Well, I'd quite like to know how it's going.
30:16Being there for nearly two weeks now,
30:18you hardly tell me anything about it.
30:20There's nothing much to tell.
30:22I know how to work the copying machine.
30:25I know how to work the duplicating machine.
30:27I make the best cup of tea in the office.
30:29And I'm pretty good at holding down the end of a tape for measurement.
30:32Shall I go on?
30:33Oh, I suppose it's bound to be like that in the beginning.
30:36I never get to do any negotiating
30:37because none of the clients know my name.
30:39And until I do some negotiating,
30:41none of the clients will know my name.
30:43It's a bloody vicious circle.
30:45I sometimes think I'll have to wait for someone to die
30:47before I can even answer the phone.
30:52So what's your favourite flower, Vivian?
30:54Rose.
30:55Rose?
30:56You tell me that.
30:57There you are, sweetheart.
31:00Do you remember me?
31:02Of course you do.
31:03You remember Ruth.
31:04Has been a long time.
31:05She could have forgotten.
31:06I don't think so.
31:07It doesn't matter.
31:08She's probably just shy.
31:14No, she's been like that ever since Nanny left.
31:17It gives me the creeps
31:18because that's just how she was when Diana went off
31:20and it took us months to get her out of it.
31:23The nursery school people kept saying
31:25she was withdrawn and uncommunicative.
31:30Sorry, Robert.
31:30Would you like a drink?
31:32Whiskey.
31:32Please.
31:35David should be home soon.
31:37He's been around to visit his father.
31:42When's Nanny coming back?
31:44She isn't.
31:46I had a letter this morning
31:47full of apologies.
31:49She says her sister is too ill
31:50to manage without her.
31:52Oh, poor old thing.
31:53I'm sure she'd find a way to stay on
31:55if Diana was here.
31:56I don't think you're being fair to her.
32:00Anyway, you need a housekeeper now.
32:01Adrienne's at school, not a nanny.
32:05I suppose so,
32:06but it isn't easy finding the right person.
32:09And Adrienne's not good at adjusting to new people.
32:11Oh, God, I'm sorry.
32:12I'll fetch her.
32:13No, no, it's all right.
32:14Leave her.
32:15It doesn't matter.
32:16Might make her feel better.
32:25Mummy, are we going to the cottage tomorrow or not?
32:27Because Jamie wants to know if I can go dancing.
32:29Oh, hello.
32:29You remember James' father, don't you, darling?
32:32Yes, of course.
32:33Hello, Lisa.
32:33You're quite grown up now.
32:35Yes, I'll leave in school next year.
32:36Only if you pass your exams.
32:40Oh, is that your daughter?
32:46Hello.
32:49You must be very proud of her.
32:52Yes.
32:53She's going to be quite a beauty.
32:55Just as well.
32:56She's bone idle.
32:57Keep telling us she ought to get a holiday job.
33:01If we do go to the cottage at the weekend,
33:03would you like Adrienne to come with us?
33:06Well, that's very kind of you,
33:07but I can manage quite well on weekends.
33:11It's during the week and it's difficult.
33:16Well, we could look after her during the week
33:19and bring her back to you with the weekend.
33:35Well, you're an early bird.
33:37Couldn't you sleep?
33:38Something like that.
33:51Oh, gosh, you're awake already.
33:55When's Nanny coming back?
33:57I don't know, darling.
33:59She's got to look after her sister.
34:00Her sister's not very well.
34:02Do you want to cuddle?
34:04Oh, come on then.
34:05Oh!
34:13Good morning, Isaacson, son.
34:15No, I'm afraid he's not in yet.
34:17Can I help you?
34:19Yes, which property was it?
34:22Would you like to make an appointment to view?
34:26Yes, three o'clock would be fine, Mr. Harris.
34:28Just ask for Jamie McKenzie.
34:34That's for me.
34:39Good morning, Isaacson, sons.
34:41No, I'm afraid he's not in yet.
34:43This is Jamie McKenzie.
34:44What can I do for you?
34:45A lot more.
34:56Bye-bye.
34:58Bye.
35:02Bye.
35:04Bye.
35:08Bye.
35:12Bye.
35:13Bye.
35:13Oh, my God.
36:01Oh, I nearly must go back in.
36:04Mummy's not very good with Adrian.
36:05I promised I'd read her a story before she went to sleep.
36:08Why did you take on the brat?
36:09My father can afford to pay someone to look after her.
36:12Oh, Jamie, she needs someone to love her.
36:14And I don't.
36:22Stop it.
36:41Thank you, Lorna.
36:42That should be the lot for today.
36:44Just one more.
36:51That's how you feel?
36:53I'm sorry.
36:54I do have some holiday owing to me.
36:57Maybe I could take it in lieu of notice.
36:58Sure.
37:17What are you drawing?
37:19Mummy.
37:20Can I see?
37:21No.
37:42Hello, darling.
37:44How's it going?
37:45All right.
37:47Oh, I don't know.
37:48She's funny.
37:49I keep thinking I'm getting through to her and then wham, she just cuts out.
37:53What's she doing now?
37:55Drawing.
37:56Very good.
37:57She won't let me look.
37:59Mummy, is Diana ever coming back?
38:02I shouldn't think so.
38:03Oh?
38:04Oh, well, they weren't actually married.
38:30Oh, well, they weren't actually married.
38:39I don't know.
38:44Surprise.
38:50What have you been doing?
38:52It's like a morgue in here.
38:54Living next door.
38:56Why?
38:57It seemed easier.
38:59You could have let it.
39:01I thought you were still here.
39:03Otherwise, I would have let it.
39:04Why didn't you tell me you were coming?
39:06You might have told me not to.
39:11How is everyone?
39:13Nanny's gone.
39:15Sister had a stroke.
39:18Adrienne's staying with the Isaacs.
39:20So we're all alone?
39:22A plague on both your houses.
39:28Sorry, that was a bad joke.
39:39You look wonderful.
39:41Just older.
39:43No, I mean more established. I can't explain.
39:48My new high-gloss finish for New York.
39:51Businesswoman's image.
39:52How's it going?
39:54Very well, at last.
39:56Tough starting there.
39:58Been working my tail off, as they so quaintly put it.
40:01I must say I look at my agent with new respect these days.
40:04I had no idea it was such hard work.
40:09I've missed you.
40:12I've missed you too, darling.
40:17I'll say you're looking a bit haggard though.
40:19Have you been living it up?
40:20No, not exactly.
40:22Neither have I.
40:23Hasn't been time.
40:29Well, we must stop meeting like this.
40:32Would you like to come next door for a drink?
40:35Yes, I would.
40:37It's terribly gloomy in here.
40:52I've missed you.
40:53Poor old house.
40:56What a shame.
40:58It looks so unloved.
41:21Now that's what I call a welcome home.
41:25I've forgotten how lovely you are.
41:28I haven't forgotten anything about you.
41:31Where you look.
41:32Where you feel.
41:33Where you taste.
41:35Where you come.
41:37Don't get me excited again.
41:39I certainly haven't got the energy.
41:40Are you sure?
41:41I'm exhausted.
41:43It was a flight and then visiting mummy and now all days.
41:46Was it worth it?
41:48Hmm.
41:50Yes, I would say so, wouldn't you?
41:52I'd call it good value.
42:00I'll make some coffee.
42:01Oh, that would be nice.
42:03Just might pull myself together again then.
42:12Haven't done much of the house.
42:14Well, it's just a place to sleep and eat.
42:18Oh, visitors.
42:20Yes, that'll be Lisa bringing Adrienne back.
42:24She's been staying with the Isaacs.
42:25Comes back weekends.
42:27I'll go and prepare the ground.
42:39Daddy, Daddy.
42:40I've had a lovely time.
42:42Who's my best girl then, eh?
42:43Who's the best wee lassie in the whole world?
42:44Me.
42:46Was she good?
42:47No trouble at all.
42:48I hope we didn't wake you up.
42:50Oh, not at all.
42:51Listen, I've got a surprise for you.
42:53Someone's come back.
42:54Can you guess who it is?
42:56Nanny.
42:57No, not Nanny.
42:58Better than that.
42:59Who do you most want to see?
43:00If you could have a wish and magic that person here right now, who would it be?
43:06Hello, darling.
43:08Do you remember me?
43:13It's your memory.
43:15That's right.
43:17What a good memory she has.
43:19Her age, I mean.
43:21You have grown up a lot, haven't you, Lisa?
43:24Oh, I believe you've been helping out.
43:26It's very kind of you.
43:26We do appreciate it.
43:27It was a pleasure.
43:29I expect it was.
43:32My goodness.
43:33What a big girl you are now.
43:35Hmm?
43:36No, no.
43:37And very pretty.
43:40Hmm.
43:41Well, I'll be off now.
43:42I'll pick her up Monday morning early.
43:44That is, if you still want me to.
43:46What?
43:47Oh, yes.
43:48I'll ring you if there's any change of plan, Lisa.
43:50Right.
43:50Bye.
43:51Bye, Lisa. Have fun.
43:54Bye, Adrian.
44:14What took you so long? You were ages.
44:22She's back.
44:23Nanny, thank God for that.
44:25I don't have to look after that bloody awful child anymore.
44:28She's not bloody awful.
44:30She's lovely and I didn't mean Nanny.
44:32Not that bitch.
44:33Diana, yes.
44:36Gosh, what a bit of luck.
44:38What do you mean?
44:39My mother might marry old Hammond after all.
44:42Can't you stop thinking about yourself for one minute?
44:45She went off and left that child, just walked out.
44:48She's a rotten mother.
44:50Why should she expect to come back and pick up where she left off?
45:12Oh, that looks wonderful.
45:15Could you take it, darling?
45:16Yes.
45:17She's awfully heavy.
45:17Come on now, let Mummy have a coffee in peace.
45:19There'll be plenty of time for a cuddle later on.
45:21Don't tell her that.
45:22I've got to go in a minute.
45:23Go?
45:25Look, we really must talk about the houses.
45:27Yes, you're right.
45:27I've been thinking about that.
45:28Let's try it your way this time.
45:30I was maybe too stubborn before.
45:31Let's have one each and visit the way you wanted.
45:35I think we're at cross purposes.
45:37I want to sell mine.
45:39I'm going to ask if you mind it.
45:40No, of course not.
45:41It's yours to do what you like with, only it won't leave as much space.
45:44But you haven't been using it all this time.
45:47And I really do need the money so I can buy a place in New York.
45:52You're not staying?
45:54No.
45:56What on earth made you think I was?
45:59Well maybe last night had something to do with it.
46:02That was for Auld Lang Syne.
46:07Look, I really must be going.
46:09I'm going to be late now and you know how much I hate that.
46:14Look, I'll ring you about the house, okay?
46:17I don't have time to think about it.
46:19You're not going anywhere.
46:21I'm leaving, Mac.
46:22Get out of my way.
46:23You bitch!
46:42Darling, you're back early.
46:44Did you have a nice day?
46:45It was all right.
46:49I thought I'd have an early night so I got to fetch Adrian first thing.
46:52She's here.
46:54Robert brought her around.
46:55Diana's gone off again.
46:56Adrian was in a frightful state and didn't know what to do with her.
47:00Poor little thing.
47:01Shall I go up and see her?
47:02Not now, darling.
47:03Just got her off to sleep.
47:04She was exhausted.
47:05She cried so much.
47:07How awful.
47:09Was Robert very upset?
47:11He seemed quite calm when he brought her.
47:13Probably for her benefit.
47:15Not only just now and he sounded absolutely plastered.
47:18Probably the best thing.
47:21Now where are you off to?
47:22Supper's nearly ready.
47:23I'm just going to wash and change.
47:24Go and talk to your father.
47:26He's hardly seen you all again.
47:27All right.
47:28Mummy, I thought after supper I might go and see Judy.
47:31Now I don't have to get up early.
47:32Yes, lovely.
47:35It was awful.
47:36I thought he was going to strangle me.
47:38But then the child made so much noise he suddenly let go.
47:42Ridiculous marks on my neck like something out of a movie.
47:44Why didn't you tell him at once you weren't going to stay?
47:47It honestly never occurred to me he'd think I was.
47:50When people say honestly with such conviction
47:53I generally find they're lying.
47:57Well.
48:01I was going to tell him straight away.
48:05We just got talking and he was so attractive.
48:07All I wanted to do was make love again.
48:11I thought it might put him off if I said look I'm only back for a week
48:14and I want to sell the house just like that.
48:16You're impossible.
48:18I must take after you.
48:21You're not angry with me, are you?
48:23I could never be angry with you, Kislyny.
48:26But you stayed away too long.
48:29Well, there was all that business about your will.
48:31I was terribly angry about that.
48:34Do you want me to change it?
48:37It doesn't matter.
48:39Then I was so busy working I wanted to prove I could do it.
48:44And if I'd seen you, you might have offered me money and I might have taken it.
48:48You know how weak I am.
48:50Well, you must come back more often now that you're rich and successful.
48:55I'm just an old man and I'm tired of flying the Atlantic.
49:00You do go on about being old.
49:04You're not ill, are you?
49:05Of course I'm not ill.
49:07The doctors say I will make medical history by being the oldest hypochondriac in the country.
49:14It's not enough to be Hungarian.
49:16You must also live forever.
49:19Please live forever, Apuka.
49:21Please.
49:29It's not a practical sense to go to all these places where they have, in fact, nothing to do.
49:40There's no food there or no practical things.
49:42So it's in curiosity trying to think that it is the subject of one of our films.
49:48One of the things I find a little disturbing is that all your filming has been done without the knowledge
49:53of your subject.
49:54Are you asleep?
49:54Not necessarily, sir.
49:55I quite see this.
49:56But two questions are raised by this.
49:59How do you deal with this legally for a start?
50:02I mean, did you have to get everybody?
50:24How do you deal with this?
50:29How do you deal with this?
50:32How do you deal with this?
50:35How do you deal with this?
50:38How do you deal with this?
50:44How do you deal with this?
50:44How do you deal with this?
50:44How do you deal with this?
50:45How do you deal with this?
50:45How do you deal with this?
50:48How do you deal with this?
50:50How do you deal with this?
