01:34Catherine, say hello.
01:36This is Lord Christopher Church.
01:38One day you two will be married.
01:42You must grow up to be a fine lady,
01:44worthy of the church family.
01:49How do you do?
01:59I'm delighted to meet you, Catherine.
02:02I'm sure we will be friends.
02:05She's so beautiful.
02:31I'm so bored.
02:35It looks like you made it yourself.
02:37The doll's dress, I mean.
02:39Oh.
02:40Well, um, yes.
02:42I was practicing my sewing.
02:44Hmm.
02:45My mother said that sewing is work that the maids are supposed to do.
02:50But I wanted to try it for myself.
02:52I don't think I'm very good, though.
02:54I think the dress is very pretty.
02:57Oh.
02:59Pretty?
03:00Really?
03:00Even though it is a bit simple.
03:02Oh.
03:03You're so mean, Kit.
03:06Hmm.
03:11Kit!
03:12Wait for me!
03:20What is Kit's church to me?
03:26Fiancé?
03:27A husband to whom I should devote myself?
03:32I don't know how I feel.
03:36Will the future Catherine Astor be a lady worthy of Kit, worthy of the church family?
03:47I know that the one thing that I do truly long for is that dress of silver thread, the silver
03:55lily,
03:57passed down to Kit's grandmother and then his mother.
04:08Oh.
04:09Someday.
04:10One day.
04:15It will be my turn.
04:20Oh.
04:25Oh.
04:26Oh, my lady.
04:27Rebecca?
04:28Prepare the car.
04:35I have to find out for myself.
05:04What just happened?
05:07Are you in love with her?
05:10With Lily?
05:12Yes, I am.
05:14In love with Lily.
05:17Kit is in love with me?
05:20What?
05:22No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
05:24That's impossible.
05:25It can't be, it can't be, it can't be, it can't be.
05:27It can't be true, can it?
05:29No way, no way.
05:30This is Kit we're talking about.
05:32He couldn't care less about me.
05:33It must be my ears playing tricks on me.
05:35It must be, it must be.
05:44That looks like...
05:53Peter?
05:55Are you alright?
05:56You look so sad.
05:57Why are you here?
05:59Uh...
06:00I was just...
06:02passing.
06:12What happened to the drawing?
06:16Drawing?
06:17I used to love it, Lily, so much.
06:19Huh?
06:20I came to St. Thomas' so I could study art and pursue my passion for it.
06:25It was my life.
06:29But now...
06:31Every time I draw, I hate myself.
06:34I've come to realize I have no talent.
06:38That, that's just not true.
06:41Peter, everyone admires your work, and your pictures are wonderful.
06:44You do have talent, Peter.
06:47It's alright, Lily, really.
06:48Thank you for trying to cheer me up.
06:51I've just lost my confidence a little.
06:54I'll be fine tomorrow.
06:58I'm going back to the Academy.
07:03Peter?
07:14Why would Peter suddenly lose confidence like that?
07:25Finally, you're back at last, Lily.
07:27You had better hurry up.
07:28There's a very special guest waiting for you.
07:30A very special guest?
07:32I showed them up to your room.
07:35Who could it be at this time of night?
07:41Huh?
07:43Rebecca?
07:45Hmm.
07:46This is not good.
07:47You're li-
07:48C-Catherine!
07:57You kept me waiting.
07:58Where the hell have you been?
08:00Wandering around aimlessly.
08:01I've been waiting hours for you in this tiny little attic room that smells like a sewer.
08:05Ugh!
08:06How dare you say it smells like a sewer!
08:08That smell is turpentine!
08:10Anyway, I don't remember ever inviting you over to my boarding house, my lady.
08:14You shouldn't come without a proper invitation!
08:16That's enough!
08:17I'm not concerned about that, you hear?
08:19You have ruined everything for me, Lily.
08:21I hate you!
08:23Why?
08:23What have I done?
08:25It's obvious, isn't it?
08:26You danced with my fiancé right in front of me.
08:29A commoner who turned up like a bad smell from God knows where.
08:32Th-that was-
08:33You humiliated me in front of all those people.
08:36Uh, about that.
08:37It was just-
08:38It was all a mistake.
08:39Then you knew I was being mean to you, but came to my house anyway, didn't you?
08:43Huh?
08:44You were deliberately being mean to me?
08:46And now you're pretending not to know!
08:48There is no way on earth that I would ask a commoner like you to paint my portrait!
08:52You are denser than I thought!
08:54Huh?
08:56Huh?
09:02Of course.
09:03You're right, my lady.
09:06No.
09:07My world, my whole life, is not as easy as you seem to think it is.
09:13Since I was a child, all I've lived for is to become a lady worthy of that dress.
09:19I sacrificed every other opportunity, every other chance.
09:26I tried so desperately hard to try to become the person that everyone wanted me to be.
09:34That's all, Lily.
09:35That's all I've ever lived for.
09:37And then you came along.
09:40And you wore the dress, the dress that I was born to wear.
09:43It's as if the silver lily chose you!
09:45It's not fair!
09:46Why wasn't it me?
09:48Answer me!
09:55I'm sorry, my lady.
09:58I know that you have every right to be angry at me.
10:03That day, I think Kit pitied me and was just feeling sorry for me.
10:08There's no deeper meaning to it at all.
10:12Lady Catherine, you're the one who should have worn that dress.
10:18That beautiful dress.
10:19The silver lily is meant to be worn by someone elegant and refined, just like you.
10:27Someone like me should never have even been there, let alone dancing so happily.
10:34It was so thoughtless of me.
10:36I didn't come here to ask for your apology.
10:40I came to ask, how do you really feel about Kit?
10:44What do you mean, how do I feel?
10:46There have been others, other women who've tried to get close to Kit for his money and title.
10:51If I find out that you, Lily, are one of them, you won't get away with it.
11:00How do I feel?
11:11This strange sensation came over me the first time I saw Kit's artwork in the gallery.
11:15I can't explain...
11:18I can't explain how it made me feel to see it.
11:22It was full of everything that I can't express.
11:25There was no uncertainty.
11:27It had purity, but also glamour and drama at the same time.
11:32I suppose I'm always captivated by his paintings.
11:37I think about what he will paint next, what colours he'll choose for his canvas.
11:44Sometimes his paintings are all I can think about.
11:50I think you...
11:52He's a mess, isn't he?
11:54He looks like a vagrant, sleeps in class, and he's rude to everyone.
11:58But somehow I don't seem to be able to leave him alone.
12:02I didn't mean it like that.
12:04I just meant that as soon as I take my eyes off him, he causes trouble.
12:08He offends people all the time, but underneath there's no malice in him at all.
12:12And people forgive all his faults because his paintings are so good.
12:15But it won't be so easy out in the real world.
12:17All right, that's enough. I understand everything.
12:20Huh?
12:23I see it clearly. You are in love with Kit, Lily.
12:26Huh? Why would you say that?
12:29I've heard enough.
12:31Wait!
12:33Rebecca, we're leaving.
12:34Seriously?
12:35Be careful, there's a dead mouse on the stair by your foot.
12:43Well, you have some lardy-dar friends, don't you, Lily?
12:48We don't have anything else to discuss.
12:51Oh, but Lady Catherine, what should we do about your portrait?
12:55That's right. I've made up my mind. I've decided to let you finish it.
13:00What?
13:01It's such a ridiculously clumsy painting, girl, but it stirred my affections if only a little.
13:05Are you serious? Then why don't we start right away? Or tomorrow?
13:10I can't tomorrow, because I have planned to return to my family home.
13:14How am I supposed to finish it, my lady?
13:17Come to my main residence, Astoria house. I'll give you some suitable dates, my girl.
13:22Oh, as per usual, you're not taking any account of my calendar.
13:26What the hell did you say?
13:28Do not have to tell the world that we're friends. I'm warning you now.
13:32I do not think this means I've forgiven you. I will have my eyes on you at all times.
13:38Rebecca, let's go.
13:39Yes, my lady.
13:40What?
13:47Friends in high places. Well, I never.
13:50She is not my friend.
14:09You are in love with Kit, Lily.
14:16Enough!
14:18I just need some sleep.
14:31I'm so tired.
14:33Good morning, Lily. What a beautiful day.
14:38Lily, what is the matter?
14:40Nothing, I'm fine.
14:42Well, you could have surely fooled me. Why have you got big bags under your eyes again?
14:47Wait, have you been up all night working on that portrait?
14:50Well, I haven't completely finished painting it yet.
14:55Is she making you go there every day again?
14:57No, I don't have to do that anymore.
15:01Well, that's something at least. You were too kind, Lily, and you simply mustn't let her push you around.
15:07Oh, and Lily, have you heard that Shin ended up coming in first place at the critique session? It's amazing!
15:13That's wonderful!
15:14It's the first time an international student has won!
15:17Goodness, his parents will be so proud of him!
15:23What is wrong with you, Lily?
15:27Oh, Kit, hello!
15:30Dorothy.
15:32Good morning!
15:33You're on your own today? That's strange.
15:36I am.
15:40Huh?
15:48What's he doing?
15:56Did something happen between you and Kit?
15:58No, no! Absolutely nothing!
16:00I will take that as a yes, then.
16:09I don't understand...
16:12Hmm? You overheard me tell Lady Catherine, didn't you?
16:15Yes, I do love you.
16:17No, no, no!
16:20You're getting carried away because you wore the silver lily dress!
16:26Yay!
16:28It's possible!
16:30Lily, are you in there?
16:31Oh, sorry, I'm fine, really, honestly!
16:34Hmm, well, if you say so.
16:38Anyway, about Shin.
16:39Joffrey said we should all go out to the pub tonight to celebrate his win.
16:43Yes, that would be nice. For Shin.
16:45As you haven't been there before, we must go together so you don't get lost.
16:49Yes!
16:50It's very near the British Museum.
16:52It's a quaint boozer called the Old Duchess.
16:55It's a popular student haunt, and everyone is going to be there.
17:08Congratulations to our new friend Shin for coming top of the class!
17:12To Shin!
17:14I heartily thank you all.
17:16I simply cannot believe that you did it, though I expect it no less.
17:20Is it true that you already have a buyer interested in your work? That bodes well for your future.
17:25That's kind of you, Dorothy.
17:28Shin, congratulations! As your fellow countrymen, I'm doubly proud of you.
17:32Ah, thank you. I was a little worried about it, because it's quite an experimental piece. I'm so glad I
17:38decided to give it a go.
17:39No one was more surprised than me. Such an unusual approach. You very skillfully combined the contemporary with the archaic.
17:51The wood texture gave it a distinct ethereal quality, my friend.
17:56You're rambling, Joffrey. What you're trying to say is that it depicts a beautiful woman.
18:00Well, yes, that too.
18:03I have to concede that the veiled look to the woman was alluring.
18:06What species of tree did you use?
18:08Holly, but it has a lot of oil, so it was really a bit of a pain to finish it
18:12off.
18:12It was commended for its beauty and how it felt to the touch. Really well done.
18:16Thanks, but I'm not there yet.
18:18Yes, bravo.
18:20You have only just arrived here, and your work is already on display in the gallery.
18:26That's it. Come on, Peter. Don't be ungracious. We've come here to-
18:29Do you care so little about it?
18:33You're a sculptor here too, Joffrey. Do you not mind your work's been overshadowed by someone new?
18:39No? That's so unfair. Sin deserves to be top.
18:43Peter, what on earth are you going on about? This isn't like you at all.
18:48Peter.
18:51Every time I draw, it's just so obvious that I'm ordinary, unremarkable.
18:58I'm just not like Kit.
19:02Look, don't you beat yourself up about it. Let's face it, Kit here is made differently.
19:08Huh?
19:08Oh, no.
19:09What the hell do you mean? I'm made differently.
19:11I meant it in a nice way. It's a good thing.
19:14You were born with a talent that's unlike any of ours, and that's just a fact.
19:18That's ridiculous.
19:19What do you say?
19:21If you have time to complain, aren't there better things you could be doing?
19:25Instead of slighting other people's skill, you should ask yourself whether you have done all you possibly can to refine
19:30your own.
19:32Practice.
19:33Hey, Kit, you might be going a little too-
19:35I don't think you understand at all how it feels!
19:38When you were just unable to capture on canvas the image in your mind's eye!
19:42Not only are you an English aristocrat, you're blessed with natural talent!
19:46The art world showers you with praise!
19:49So don't you dare, Lord Christopher Church, lecture me about practice!
19:58So what?
19:59If you're talking about being able to give shape to the image in your mind, it sounds like you're just
20:04making excuses for your own lack of skill.
20:07You're just not good enough.
20:09Peter!
20:10Will you both stop?
20:11Oi, Peter!
20:12Calm down, both of you for goodness sake!
20:14Peter, unhand him!
20:16You're like a man possessed all of a sudden!
20:18Aren't you studying here to get better, Peter, precisely because you're not good enough?
20:22I mean, that's why we're here.
20:23How dare you say that?
20:24You're not one of us, are you?
20:27You think you're better than us in every way!
20:29Why on earth are you so obsessed with gaining other people's approval?
20:33Is it that you just want to be showered with praise?
20:35It's absurd.
20:37What meaning would all that praise possibly have?
20:39If the only reason you study painting is for acclaim, then you should just quit right now!
21:02That is quite enough! You lack any kind of compassion for others!
21:07You have no respect for anyone. You say exactly what is on your mind, and you hurt people.
21:13Everyone is trying so very hard to produce their best work.
21:16And that often means struggling and suffering, ripping up the page and starting again.
21:21But we do try again.
21:23Not everyone can do it like you.
21:26And you're too self-absorbed to notice how we all feel.
21:29Maybe you shouldn't actually be here with us!
21:39K-Kid?
21:46I've never...
21:49I've never thought my paintings were any good.
21:52Never.
21:52Huh?
21:54I doubt my work too.
21:56That's why I always draw so desperately.
22:09After that night, I never saw Kit at the Academy again.
22:23How about that?
22:34Well, I'm just gonna do that.
22:37What did you say?
22:38Well, I don't think that I can lose my mind.
22:41I was just going to run out.
22:44That is.
22:44How should I rise?
22:45I'm just gonna be down, I know.
22:46How should I rise?
22:47You've never seen this game.
22:47You've never seen it!
22:48Yes, you've never seen it!
22:50Where are we?
22:50The human beings are only letting you know.
