01:57Here.
01:58This'll help.
02:00What's that?
02:01A love potion.
02:04I can't, Susan.
02:06I can't do it.
02:08He spends all his time writing obituaries for his friends.
02:12When he's not writing letters to the papers about cleaning up television.
02:16Then don't.
02:17What?
02:18What?
02:18Don't.
02:19Marry him.
02:20Where would I go?
02:22I've sold the house.
02:23I can't buy another one.
02:24I couldn't pay the mortgage on the last one.
02:26Rent a flat.
02:27Rent a room.
02:28It's easy for you, a professional woman.
02:30Nothing's easy for me.
02:33It's just like the last time when I married Morris.
02:36Only then I had the white dress and the veil.
02:39But I still thought I shouldn't be doing this.
02:42And look what happened to you and Morris.
02:46Come on, Belle.
02:47Everybody's waiting.
02:48I can't do it, Nettie.
02:50Oh, is it bridal nerds now?
02:52Away you go.
02:53I hardly know him.
02:55I keep forgetting what he's professor of.
02:58Does that matter?
02:59He's awfully eminent.
03:00He's awfully old.
03:02We are none of us getting any younger.
03:05Now away in there and don't disappoint that poor decent chap.
03:08Think of the mess you were in before he came along.
03:10I was a free agent.
03:12You were a free bankrupt.
03:25I believe he's in for a knighthood.
03:28I believe he's in for a coronary.
03:31Is that the doctor in you speaking, Susan?
03:33Or the unmarried woman?
03:35At least you didn't say disappointed old maid.
03:37Well, I gave you the benefit of the doubt.
03:39If extramarital sex can recall the benefit.
03:44Don't you mean premarital sex in my case?
03:47She was down to one night stands with commercial travelers.
03:52Oh, really?
03:55Anyway, he's done everything for her.
03:58Even paid her milk bill.
04:01It was three hundred pounds.
04:08Confidence?
04:09Never.
04:10That kind of number.
04:11Just keep saying over and over.
04:14It will happen.
04:16And it will.
04:18Voila!
04:19Fill the seats.
04:20Pay the bills.
04:21Well, all we gotta do is live through rehearsals, right?
04:23For a moment.

16:10Ah, the good doctor.
16:12Looking awfully tasteful tonight.
16:14I said no dogs.
16:15You said no anything, doctor.
16:17But I was more afraid of May than I was of you.
16:19May's our leader.
16:20And she said it was my turn for the dog.
16:21You're to be out of here tomorrow morning.
16:23Shh.
16:24Don't take the words out of my mouth.
16:25I'd have put it to her more gently than that.
16:28There now.
16:29Does a nasty doctor frighten you?
16:32She frightens me.
16:33That's why I keep breaking her things.
16:35For which you ought to pay.
16:37Yes, I'm sorry.
16:39Actually, I was going to ask if there's a chance of a rebate on the room.
16:43You've been charged a nominal rent for charity.
16:47I know, I know.
16:47Forget it.
16:48Good night.
16:49No, wait.
16:50Doctor.
16:52Doctor.
16:53I was going to pay for everything.
16:55Oh, actually.
16:56Yes, actually.
16:57When the show opened and people started buying seats and we got our money.
17:02But we can't keep going till we open.
17:04We can't hire the hall and pay our digs and feed ourselves.
17:07You mean you can't accept the consequence of your actions?
17:11Do I?
17:12Well, anyway.
17:13It hasn't come off.
17:14We're short of 700 pounds.
17:17So we're going in the morning.
17:20We blew what was left on a party.
17:23A great party, actually.
17:28Really great.

23:16Now look, I didn't go and...
23:18And, uh, oh, fishing.
23:21Oh, ain't you with the best body in the lineup?
23:26It's a bargain.
23:28It's sale time.
23:29It's anonymous.
23:31All right?
23:34And now it is...
23:37Let us get...
23:39All the way!
23:57You know what?
24:17I don't want to know what you have to do to get it.

24:17Yeah, I will get it.
24:18Look at how much of a gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold.
24:23I can help you.
24:23I won't do that.
24:24I will not do that.
24:24I can help you.
26:49About 20,000, would you say?
26:51I'd say it's about that.
26:54Consultants have always done well for themselves.
26:55She's no private patients, of course.
26:57No, and no books.
26:59It's my books that keep the bank balance up.
27:01Even so.
27:02She's got a job.
27:04She's got a top merit award, I believe.
27:06So, about 18 or 20,000.
27:07About that, at least.
27:08Not bad, eh?
27:09Certainly not bad.
27:10A woman on her own.
27:12We're not supposed to say that nowadays, are we?
27:14What?
27:14Well, equality, liberation, all that.
27:16Do you know, there are chaps in my department with three or four children and half that.
27:21It's funny to think one's penalised for following a biological urge.
27:24Who should we decide?
27:25What?
27:26Having children.
27:28Oh.
27:30What is your line again?
27:33Geography.
27:34At the university?
27:36No, at a college of further education, actually.
27:39Oh.
27:39Oh.
27:41We do award degrees, of course.
27:43Mm.
27:48Have you had a holiday this year?
27:49Ah, yes.
27:50We had a week's camping in the borders.
27:52And then we're rained out.
27:53Oh, bad luck.
27:54We're supposed to try again in October, but I got the option of lecturing to this American
27:59study group.
28:00I always manage to steer clear of American study groups, thank God.
28:06Nettie said this morning I'd better do it.
28:08Well, it'd be a little extra, you know.
28:12Yes.
28:16Would it be awfully early for you to have a drop of this in your teeth?
28:19No, it would not.
28:27Do you think the sleeves of this jacket are too long?
28:31What?
28:31Belle says the sleeves are too long.
28:33It makes me look older.
28:35She had a tantrum about it just before you arrived.
28:38I think it's absolutely wonderful.
28:41So it is.
28:42She's been very lonely.
28:43Of course she has.
28:45And it's such a demanding job.
28:48It'll do her good.
28:51I only hope she can cope.
28:54Cope?
28:55Well, young boys, it's always a mistake to encourage them, isn't it?
29:02Oh, I suppose it could be something I've always steered clear of.
29:10Still, that's how she feels.
29:14It's her life.
29:20I think it's marvellous.
29:24Did you think of doing anything about them as a couple?
29:28Oh, an invitation or something like that.
29:31To show we're pleased for her.
29:33No disapproval or anything like that.
29:35Why should we disapprove?
29:37Why should she care if we do?
29:39Oh, that's what I mean.
29:42If he's performing in the festival, he'll not be free.
29:45There's Sunday lunch.
29:48Sunday lunch?
29:49Oh, just to get to know him a little.
29:52Although I don't think our budget can stretch to it this month.
29:56We've got Laura's cello fees.
29:58I'll see what I can do.
30:03Would you like another piece of that?
30:06That would be very extravagant, but it's awfully good.
30:13This is the beginning of evil.
30:22We combine Genesis and evolution
30:25by stuff, Darwin, that kind of number.
30:28In our version, they are all serpents.
30:35Really?
30:40Are the tickets selling well?
30:43I don't talk, box office.
30:47But you want an audience.
30:50Communication, you mean?
30:51Making a hit?
30:53Why not?
30:55That is for admin.
31:05Watch this, watch this.
31:07From crooned marks in the sand
31:09to sophisticated Egyptian hieroglyphics.
31:15See?
31:17Straight off the wall of the Great Pyramid.
31:20Wow!
31:21Wow!
31:22Wow!
31:23Wow!
31:23Wow!
31:24Wow!
31:25Wow!
31:29Monday is opening night.
31:32Get your throats ready for the knives.
31:35Call the blood transfusion van, that kind of number!
31:38Come off it, Mae. It was an accident.
31:50Did you ever have eczema as a child?
31:52Yeah. And asthma, too, actually.
31:55They often go together.
31:59Breathe out.
32:05Found, Isabel.
32:08I haven't wheezed since I was four.
32:11I get itchy eyelids, though.
32:13When? Early mornings.
32:15Not every day. Only sometimes.
32:17It's an allergy. Try avoiding feather pillows.
32:21Really? Mm. Really? Mm.
32:24You're marvellous. You're terrific.
32:26Listen, I sometimes get this stabbing pain from my ankle.
32:29No, really, it's quite tender.
32:31Honest...
32:32Oh!
32:39Tell me about your last man.
32:42There's nothing to tell.
32:43And he was only the third?
32:46Only the third.
32:49He was 48.
32:52And he had a mummy and a daddy and a train set.
32:56Mm. A big train set.
32:59Gigantic.
33:00With goods wagons.
33:02And milk floats.
33:04And little milk churns you could take on and off.
33:07And what did you do?
33:10We spent a couple of weekends in the Transport Museum at York.
33:16And a bit of embarrassed grappling afterwards.
33:19No, but here, what did you do?
33:22Did you go out to dinner?
33:23In the theatre?
33:25Go for drives in the country?
33:27And do everything all on time, all planned?
33:30All planned.
33:33And what would your friends think of this?
33:37First, she said they couldn't.
33:39But then she rang this morning and said if the invitation was still open, they would.
33:43Oh!
33:43Well, we'll look forward to that, won't we?
33:46I told Belle that we didn't have to.
33:48Oh, one of us did.
33:49Really.
33:51Looks as if it'll be good anyway.
33:52We can cut down on the joint this weekend.
33:54Duncan, don't lift that.
33:56You know you'll regret it.
33:58We'll see you tomorrow, then.
34:00And no laughing, eh?
34:02What do you mean, no laughing?
34:04Hmm?
34:05What do you mean, no laughing?
34:07I mean, eh, it was just a joke, that's all.
34:08Well, why say if it doesn't mean anything?
34:10Well, it was just a joke.
34:11I don't understand.
34:21You were not at rehearsal today, little pigeon.
34:23I know.
34:24I'm sorry.
34:25What was it?
34:26Morning sickness?
34:29Escort's itch?
34:31Where are you going?
34:32Oh!
34:33So this is it!
34:35This is simple!
34:37I don't know what you mean.
34:38What's wrong?
34:43I had to see this.
34:45I had to see where your mind has been squatting for the last ten days.
34:51Where is she?
34:55Landscaping the face in the boudoir?
34:57That kind of number?
34:58She's at work, actually.
34:59Oh, right.
35:01Of course.
35:02Giving enemas to the poor.
35:04All right, Mae.
35:05Let's talk about it.
35:06Oh!
35:07Oh!
35:09Oh, it's so subtle, isn't it?
35:11Good.
35:12It's all graduated shades of playing safe.
35:17And does she have matching sheets and duvet covers?
35:22And pillow slips?
35:23And curtains?
35:25And lamp shades?
35:26And alarm clock?
35:27And tea maker?
35:28And underwear?
35:29And flesh?
35:31All beige?
35:32Oh, come off it, Mae.
35:33I miss one rehearsal.
35:34Right.
35:35You miss one rehearsal.
35:37That is a definitive statement, Farnalski.
35:39Well, the others miss rehearsals sometimes.
35:42You really want me to say it, don't you?
35:44What?
35:45The star on the dressing room door.
35:47That kind of number.
35:47We need you.
35:48No, of course not.
35:49I don't see what's wrong.
35:51It's not as if you and me were having...
35:52You and me?
35:54You and me?
35:55Yes.
35:55It's not as if we were...
35:56Well, no.
35:57It's not as if bubonic plague.
35:59I mean, it's not as if the end of the world.
36:02Right.
36:02So...
36:02So...
36:04We do our work, soulmate.
36:07That is what we do.
36:10Look, we went to a light...
36:11Clear clock, Christopher.
36:13Extra rehearsal.
36:14Be there.
36:18I don't know how you can say Oxford's done nothing for you.
36:21Well, I learn more in the vacations.
36:23Oh, I've had that before.
36:25I mean, we won't mind if Joanna doesn't get into Oxford.
36:28In fact, we were prepared for it, weren't we, Andrew?
36:30When they said they'd only take her on late entry.
36:33Andrew?
36:34Have you done something to your hair?
36:36But we thought as the school put her up, she might as well try.
36:40Aberdeen is quite an acceptable alternative.
36:42Sort of up and back.
36:43You look about 14.
36:46That's nice because Chris looks 14, too.
36:49Chris did my hair.
36:52Aberdeen's great.
36:53I went there with the troupe at Easter.
36:54We got stoned for the whole fortnight.
36:57When I was teaching at Oxford in...
36:59More cheese, anyone?
37:00More cheese, anyone?
37:01Pre-war, anyway.
37:03I expect it's different now, Duncan.
37:05Will you see if I've switched on the coffee?
37:09A boy's appetite, isn't it wonderful?
37:12It was a great meal.
37:12Yes, it was.
37:14Well, it was a sort of thank you to you from Susan's friends for all that you've done for her.
37:21What worries us is what's going to happen after the festival's over.
37:29Duncan, you can't really have taught at Oxford in 1937.
37:33Yes, indeed, from 1935.
37:34Well, who would have thought?
37:35You're amazing.
37:36Belle's brought me a new lease of life.
37:38She came to me just when I qualified for free travel and public transport.
37:42Talking of the festival, wasn't the ballet disappointing this year?
37:46I don't think I've ever seen your collarbone before.
37:48Oh, it's a great collarbone.
37:50I thought the ballet was superb.
37:52We can't afford the ballet.
37:53Just as well, really, because it's not our cup of tea.
37:55It's my cup of tea.
37:57Oh, I agree.
37:58We can't afford it.
38:00It's my cup of tea.
38:01I don't mean that.
38:02Why do you say things you don't mean?
38:05I do mean it.
38:09Listen, something really funny happened to me.
38:11It was just before I came up to Edinburgh, actually.
38:13I went round to see this dealer.
38:14Oh?
38:15Well, he's just a man that you buy pot from.
38:18Drugs?
38:18I don't want to hear this.
38:20What?
38:21I'm sorry if it's about drugs.
38:22I don't want to hear.
38:23No, no, it's just there was a girl.
38:24I'm sorry, but I don't think you can joke about drugs.
38:27There's too much suffering involved.
38:28No, there's no suffering.
38:29Well, just count me out.
38:31And I don't know what Susan thinks.
38:34As a doctor, I think I'd like some coffee.
38:37Coffee?
38:38What?
38:40You've been in the sun.
38:41You're all brown.
38:44I wonder if the festival isn't more trouble than it's worth these days.
38:48Just one big disruption.
38:49There's something to be said for routine.
38:51Belle and I are going to haul up for the winter while I write a book
38:54and she helps me with the research.
38:55Thank you, Belle.
38:56Will you open a window?
38:58It's awfully hot in here.
38:59Winter?
38:59It'll be a fearful draft!
39:01Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
39:05Oh!
39:06All right.

42:34Is he here?
42:35Who?
42:36Andrew, of course.
42:37Andrew?
42:38Yes, Andrew.
42:39Why should he be here?
42:41Because he's done nothing but talk about you for the last five days.
42:45Susan's skin, Susan's hair, Susan's legs, Susan's gold earrings.
42:49I'd wear gold earrings if I could afford them.
42:51I'd wear diamonds, I'd wear rubies.
42:53And now he's gone.
42:56When?
42:57Last night.
42:59I'd just driven Laura home from her chair a lesson through the rush hour with her moaning all the way
43:03about her teacher having a down on her.
43:05I was up to hide myself at the time we got in.
43:07And then there's this note, away for a few days, don't worry.
43:11Then don't.
43:11What?
43:13Sorry.
43:14Next to the note, he'd left the building society account book.
43:18Oh.
43:18He'd drawn out 350 pounds.
43:21Sit down.
43:21Three hundred and fifty.
43:24Well, he could cause perhaps.
43:25That money represents nine months' savings.
43:29It was towards Joanna's fees at Oxford.
43:31She'll not be able to go now, even if she gets her place.
43:34I'm sure something could be managed.
43:35What do you mean?
43:36You'd lend it to us?
43:37Well, of course, if you ask me what I mean.
43:39Oh, what do you think we are?
43:41What I meant was the bank.
43:44Some other economy.
43:45What other economy?
43:47I don't know.
43:48No.
43:49No, you don't know.
43:50You don't know anything about economy.
43:52Look.
43:52A single woman.
43:53Professional status.
43:54I can't help it, Nettie.
43:55Have you never thought, Susan, that you were a wee bit overpaid?
43:58I mean, I know doctors have special skills, but do you think that's enough to account for the differential?
44:02Nettie, what's all this?
44:03I mean, Andrew could have earned more if he'd let his integrity go a bit and licked a few boots.
44:07Yes, and I don't mind teaching home economics part-time.
44:11What I mind is having to.
44:13Sit down.
44:14And there's all this barbaric income tax.
44:16Would you like a coffee?
44:17He was supposed to be doing the school run this week.
44:20Not just our girls, but the ones next door as well.
44:23He's letting them down.
44:25It's so irresponsible.
44:28He was supposed to pick up the dry cleaning and disinfect the outside drains,
44:33and now I'll have to do it all.
44:35Oh, all of it.
44:38All of it.
44:42Nettie.
44:47What a night.
44:50What a night.
44:52What a night.
44:54What a night.
44:54What a night.
45:08So the plunge and voices may have come in at the finish,
45:12but they have managed nonetheless to clean up two of the most coveted awards at the festival.
45:19Congratulations on a most amusing show.
45:26I hope you were more than amused, dearness, but thanks anyway.
45:33Well, hordes of people I have to thank.
45:36The cast, the designer, the program sellers, that kind of number.
45:42But the point is, they wanted to do it.
45:46I wanted to do it.
45:48So thanks are just so much, Flabsky.
45:55Well, thank you, all of you, for one of the best laughs at the festival.
45:59There's just one other person I should thank.
46:02Without her, we would have been back on the M6 two weeks ago.
46:06Dr. Susan Bavistock of Edinburgh put up the money.
46:11On the line, no strings.
46:13And for that, we will all be eternally grateful.
46:17Thanks to her, we were able to say,
46:19stuff the Arts Council.
46:21Though I concede that is a fairly lousy state of affairs.
46:25Did I ever see myself as a recipient
46:28and therefore an upholder of private patronage?
46:31Duncan!
46:32Believe me, media folk.
46:33Duncan, darling!
46:34Anyone who knows me...
46:35She bought him.
46:36...knows that is just not my kind of number.
46:39She bought him.
46:40But, on the whole, I think allowing Dr. Bavistock
46:44some space to indulge her finer...
46:55No, he just walked in and said,
46:57did you see the TV at 6.30?
47:00I said, Andrew, I have had more to do than watch TV.
47:06Oh, it was nothing.
47:09Just some notion he'd got about taking a cancelled room in a hotel
47:13and doing the festival on return tickets.
47:15Well, he's been under a strain lately.
47:19And most of the money's intact.
47:23Yes, I know.
47:25Poor Susan.
47:28She's going to need every ounce of our support.
47:47There's plenty of time.
47:48For you, perhaps.
47:50I have to cook lunch for a colleague.
47:52Today?
47:53Yes, today.
47:55Life goes on.
47:57Does it?
47:59I'll write.
48:00The only thing you'll write in the next few weeks
48:02will be your name on a contract.
48:05What are you going to do with your colleague?
48:08Play records.
48:09Talk.
48:10What are you going to talk about?
48:12This and that.
48:14What turned up in the spit lately.
