All language subtitles for Goodnight Sweetheart s01e06 In the Mood

Good night, sweetheart.

All my prayers are for you.

Good night, sweetheart.

I'll be watching over you.

Tears and cutting may make us alone.

But with the dawn, a new day is born.

I have just spent three hours queuing up
outside the greengrocers and all I've

got to show for it is ten pounds of
spuds, a pound of curly kale and chill

blames. It wouldn't hurt you to get your
own tea for once.

I can't imagine Eric in a penny.

Oh, hello,

Gary. I was just giving Dad a piece of
my mind. About the only thing not on the

ration, I suppose.

Yeah, the usual.

Yeah, thanks.

You were asking for a good smack bottom.

Oh, hello. I thought we'd seen the last
of you. Oh, wishful thinking, Eric.

Hello, hello, hello.

That's where it started.

Why are you looking so pleased with
yourself?

I am the custodian of some very
important information. You?

Yes, me.

Well, don't you want to know?

Not really. The last very important
information you had turned out to be the

instalment of Belisha beacons outside
the sub -post office.

Fair enough. If you're not interested in
the impending visit to this very

borough of the King...

His Majesty, King George VI.

No, he means the other king. You know,
the one who helps out George when he's

busy.

Sorry? Well, how do you know?

Well, obviously, this information is top
secret.

Then why are you telling us, you great
bonehead? You can't talk to me like

I'm an officer of the law.

You're still a bonehead. You were a
bonehead before you joined the force.

be a bonehead the day after they chuck
you out. You only got in because your

was a bobby.

In that case, when I do discover their
itinerary, you won't want to know, will

you? Oh, no, you've got to tell us.

I'd hate to miss the chance to see them
in the flesh.

Really? Oh, yes.

When the king was coronated, me and my
friend Beryl slept out on the pavement

down Orscard so we could watch the
carriage go by.

Oh, I get so excited. He's only a human
being. He's not a demigod. What?

How dare you talk about his majesty like
that? Arrest him, Reds. That's got to

be treating the poor. I don't know.

After all, we are supposed to be
fighting for democracy.

What is a demigod, anyway?

Well, it's sort of half -man, half
-deity, you know, like the Roman

Well, fair do, then, Eric. King George
isn't a demigod. Well, he's still the

king of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland, emperor of India, defender of

faith, a living symbol of all that we're
fighting for, and you've just insulted

him. King George has stood by us, the
common people. He could have buggered

to Canada.

Oi! Ladies present!

Lord, don't get so hysterical.

I mean, in 50 years' time, they'll
probably be showing Japanese tourists

Buckingham Palace for eight quid a
throw.

What?

What? The Japs and the Germans are
allies, in case you've forgotten. Who do

think you are, Lord Hoare?

You still say you can't arrest him? We
never make it stick, Eric. In that case,

you're barred. You can't bar me. I've
been coming in here all me life. Not

you bonehead.

Me? You're kidding.

No, no, go on. Out.

I don't want the likes of you in here.
This is a patriotic pub, not the

Luftwaffe sergeant's mess. Go on, op it.

Oh, come on, Eric. It's a bit over the
top.

Don't you talk to me about over the top.
I have been there.

You're barred for life.

Hi.

Oh, boy.

Back on the cheek, perhaps?

Sexual gymnastics on the loose covers?

I'd love to, but I've got to wind a
crease in this oven glove.

Oh.

Notice you haven't done any of my
shirts, then? Correct.

Right, well, that's me done.

Yvonne, how much longer are you going to
keep up this childish stalking?

Childish? Me?

It isn't me who spent hundreds of pounds
on World War II books and videotapes.

It isn't me who got arrested after some
football match in Lithuania.

It isn't me who comes home at all hours.

Something's bothering you, isn't it?

Look at this.

Yeah, it adds up, doesn't it?

Peg two.

Yeah, all right, so I've gone a bit over
the limit. I'm really sorry, I'll cut

back, I promise.

Shall I do the dinner?

There isn't any.

Why not?

I spent over an hour going round the
supermarket today. I got to the checkout

and I presented them with my credit
card.

And I saw the machine reject it.

In front of a queue of people.

One who was Linda Ferguson from over the
road, who's always thought she was a

cut above us just because she's got an
integral garage.

How do you think I felt, Gary?

Yeah, embarrassed.

And humiliated and angry and upset.

Well, it isn't Linda Ferguson's fault.

No, it isn't.

It's your fault, Gary.

It's not much fun being the only woman
in England who's still suffering from

blitz.

If I didn't know you any better, I'd say
you were having an affair.

Because I'm carrying this marriage.

And I'm carrying you.

And I'm fed up.

Because ever since you started this
1940s fixation, it's like you're not

there.

So I'll make it easier for you.

Get rid of all this stuff.

Or me.

Oh, come on, Yvonne. This stuff costs a
lot of money.

You don't have to tell me.

So go and find some other anal,
retentive, overgrown schoolboy with a

fixation. And sell it to him.

Yvonne, you...

It's very nice of you to think of me,
but I don't need my own Imperial War

Museum. Oh, help us out, Ron. I've got
to get rid of all this stuff, but I want

it to go to someone sensitive and
mature.

Why don't you just store it in your
garage until Yvonne simmers down?

We haven't got a garage. There's
something else that's bugging her.

Maybe it's just her time of the month.

Yeah. No, Yvonne's right.

This 1940 stuff's getting dangerous.

I'm going to stop going back.

Concentrate on here and now.

Is that what you want?

Course not.

Look, I'll store your memorabilia for
you. Then you can carry on visiting

Phoebe, if that's what you want.

Pardon me, he wants to stay there.

Which part?

Face facts, Gary.

You're besotted with Phoebe.

She haunts your every waking moment,
even as she haunts your dreams.

You're right.

How do you know?

I was like, that was still a black.

I was only nine.

There's still no excuse for him.

Look, Gary, do you really believe that
the human male is programmed to be a

monogamous animal?

No way, Attenborough.

If you look at our closest biological
relations, the great apes, you'll

that the dominant male controls families
of several dozen animals, including

several females of childbearing age,
whom he services.

Well, I'm not servicing Phoebe.

More food, you. She's probably panting
for it. Oi, you're talking about the

woman I love.

Well, one of the women I love.

Right.

Gary, you've been granted every man's
wish.

An untraceable bit on the side.

How can you even talk about abandoning
her to the swirling tides of history?

I never said it would be easy, Rowan. I
just... Why are you so keen for me to go

back?

No reason.

I just thought you could do me a small
favour.

How small?

I have in my hand...

A piece of paper.

In fact, several. To wit, £250 in period
fibres.

Ron, you didn't... Don't ask!

They're perfect!

I've been doing a little research into
the stock market of 1940.

Now, you've heard of Eurotronic PLC.

Yeah, of course. They're one of the
biggest companies in Britain. And their

share have changed hands for £50 apiece.

Well, they were founded in 1933 as
Arbuthnot Brothers Radio Limited.

And in 1940, their share have changed
hands for £350.

Old pence.

So if you could see your way clear to
buying a few thousand next time you go

back... Oh, I don't know, Ron.

You could buy some for yourself. We
could both be millionaires.

No, that's meddling with history, isn't
it? Gary!

Gary!

I'm asking you to invest a few pounds,
not assassinate Winston Churchill!

Hi.

Hi.

Are you serious, then?

What are you going to do with all this
stuff?

Car boot sale or safe deposit box?

Oh, no, the 1940s memorabilia fair
coming up next weekend.

In Runcorn, as luck would have it.

I've been to Runcorn and luck doesn't
come into it.

No, I mean, it's lucky because Ron's
brother lives up that way. So I can

overnight at his place, then do the
fair, make a few quid.

Might even bring you back something.

Thanks. Do without my very own personal
gas mask.

That's not what you said the last time
we had chilli con carne with extra

Phoebe. Oi! You, I told you, you're
barred. Oh, come on, Eric, be sensible.

We're all on the same side. My boot will
be on the same side as your behind if

you don't, Scarpa. Coming in here,
insulting the royal family, stirring up

trouble. I've got some very important
news. Eh?

I know exactly when the King and Queen
are going to visit.

What? When?

This afternoon.

Where are they going?

I can't give you all the details, but at
1 .30 this afternoon, they're due to

make a brief visit at the London
Hospital, Whitechapel Road. Hang on, how

know? Er, contacts.

Well, I don't think it's good enough.
I've got a good mind. No, you haven't.

You've got a good heart, but even your
mother wouldn't say you've got a good

mind. Gary, do you think you can get us
in to see them? Well, would I have taken

half a day's leave if I couldn't? I
should have been told first.

Well, we wouldn't be able to do it
without your help, Castlewood Edmund.

Really?

Me? Yeah.

Well, as long as it doesn't involve any
bending of the law.

Oh, no, no, no. But we will need some
white coats, though. Why?

Well, that way we can pass our pills off
as doctors and tack our pills on to the

end of the reception line.

Good thinking.

I can get some white coats for my chum
Cyril down at mortuary.

Don't worry. I'll make sure they're
clean.

Right. Hold the fort, Phoebe. I think
this calls for a clean collar.

Have you gone for this, Manny?

I can't.

Some of us really are on duty.

Do you think I should change?

Put on something nicer?

Oh, Phoebe, you look lovely.

But then you always look lovely.

Thank you, kind sir.

Excuse me. Oh.

I see you're reading the financial
section.

So? Doesn't mean I'm a rich man.

How is it you, Yox, always think Jews
know all about money? No, I just

thought... You just thought I had a lot
of stocks and shares, I know.

Listen, a man can dream, Carney.

So, what do you want to know?

Well, I've come into a small
inheritance, you know, just a few quid.

thinking maybe I should buy some shares,
because prices are bound to go up when

we win the war.

If we win.

Oh, we'll win.

Oh, from your mouth to God's ears.

Tell me, what company has actually taken
your fancy?

Arbuthnot Brothers Radio Limited.

Who? Well, I've just got a feeling that
home entertainment's going to be very

big after the war. Do me a favour.
Everyone I know's chucking their piano

Do you think you can help me?

Well, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll
have a word with my brother -in -law. He

dabbles in the market.

But if you want my advice, don't be a
schmuck. Buy Marks and Spencers.

Ready then, Gary mate?

Oh, it's Gary mate now, is it?

Ah, hello.

Yes, Professor Gareth Sparrow of the
Department of Experimental Plastic

and my team.

I didn't know that... You didn't know we
had a Department of Experimental

Plastic Surgery? No. Well, it's very
hush -hush, hence the police escort.

You're very... Very, very, very young.
Yes, yes, that's what Mr Churchill said.

But it's a very young science.

Your Majesty, may I present Professor
Sparrow of the Department of

Plastic Surgery and his team?

Might I present Dr Phoebe Banford?

Is there a doctor in the house?

It's these junior doctors, Your Majesty.
They work such long hours.

Right, how about drinks on the house?

On an occasion like this, of course, a
champagne.

It can call for it. It ain't going to
get any.

The queen spoke to me. She said, are you
feeling better, my dear?

Are you feeling better?

Oh, I don't know how I'm feeling. I'm so
light -headed.

I'm shivering all over. My stomach's
full of butterflies.

You're probably just peckish. I'll open
a tin of pilchards.

Well, you are pushing the boat down,
aren't you?

An occasion like this deserves to be
marked by more than a tin of dwarf

Portuguese fish.

What did you have in mind, son?

What? Slap up meal in the West End is
what I had in mind. Count me in. I'd

pop off home and collect me dinner suit.

No, slap up meal for two, I was
thinking.

Well, that's very kind of you, sir. What
about me and Phoebe?

Oh, of course. I was being silly.

No more than usual.

I'll borrow your dinner suit, Reg. Save
me going all the way home for mine.

Least I could do, son.

What about my drink on the house?

I'll have it for you. Ah, right you are.

in a West End restaurant.

So that's how it's going to be, is it?
Turn her head by introducing her to

royalty, buying her fancy food, and then
when she's putty in your hands... Oh,

Eric, do you really think your daughter
would betray her marriage vows merely

because I introduced her to the king and
then take her for dinner and dancing?

That's a boy.

That's a boy?

Well, what's it all about, then, if it's
not to get your evil way?

I was hoping to break this a little more
gently.

You're going away?

Yeah.

But you'll be coming back, won't you?

Swipe me. Young Ivor Novello is joining
up.

Oh, no.

No, not you and old Gary. I couldn't
stand it. No, no, it's not that.

I'm going back to America.

Well, Hollywood, actually.

Hollywood?

Well, you remember On The Street Where
You Live? That song I wrote the night we

went dancing.

Well, on the strength of that, they've
asked me to go and do a musical version

of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion.

That sounds like a big hit, I don't
think.

Look, we'll talk about it later, please,
OK?

I've had a word with my brother -in
-law.

He says, come and see him tomorrow
morning and introduce you to his

He also says that, in his opinion, you
sound like a right schlemiel.

Is that better than a schmock? It's
about the same.

Your poor husband's been away for
months. Naturally things are difficult.

were more difficult before he went.

But he'll be coming back, God willing.
And he'll be here supporting you when

laughing boy over there has long
forgotten you. Do you think I don't know

Dad? That is why I have got to be with
him tonight. It could be the last time.

Let's hope so.

Gary, this is such a gorgeous place.

Yeah, it's not bad, is it?

I think this must be the best day of my
life.

The only thing that makes me sad is the
reason we're here.

And even when you do come back, you'll
probably have some glamorous film star

your arm.

If I would.

I wouldn't blame you.

We all know what they're like.

I mean, women like Mae West and Betty
Grable aren't going to be backwards

coming forward, are they?

Bring one of them to a place like this
and I'll bet you she'll be wondering

the bedrooms are like.

Well, I suppose we could always ask the
manager to let us have a look at one of

the bedrooms, you know, just out of
curiosity.

All right.

Madam.

Madam.

Ladies and gentlemen, please do not be
alarmed.

This restaurant is 70 feet below ground
level and is one of the safest places in

London.

Well, it's a bit more comfy than Dad's
salary.

Yeah, well, the tops usually know how to
look after themselves.

I hope you don't go on for too long,
though. I don't fancy having to travel

with all that coming down.

No.

Hang on a sec.

I say... Yes?

Hello. My wife is rather nervous with
the bombing.

You'll be quite safe, sir. Oh,
absolutely, yes, but...

She's somewhat frightened about having
to travel back to our place in

during the raids, so I was wondering if
you might have a room, you know, just

for the one night?

Well, I'll ask the manager, sir, but we
are very busy.

Well, yes, of course.

I believe the Imperial suite may be
available, sir.

The King of the Belgians is not expected
until the day after tomorrow.

Oh, excellent.

Um, obviously, neither of us have
brought any knight attire or

well, don't worry, sir.

My friend is the manager of Andrews and
Errington of German Street.

They always keep a few items of lingerie
in stock for our more important

patrons. Oh, super.

Oh, hang on a sec.

Perhaps they could enclose a card?

Yes, certainly.

Gary, where have you been? Your soup's
getting cold.

It's asking the head waiter if they had
a sweep.

Well, you're getting ahead of yourself.

Sorry? I mean, I... I might not have any
room for a sweet after my bath.

Main gate here, Ron. There's a Yvonne
Sparrow to see you.

Yvonne, er, yeah.

Send her through.

The cool blonde sashayed into the
office.

Marlowe tipped back his fedora and
inspected her through a thin curl of

cigarette smoke.

She sat opposite him, crossed her silk
stocking legs and through full, moist

lips huskily said... Stop pissing about.
I'm worried about Gary.

Why's that, then?

Maybe I've been too hard on him.

OK, so he's made us bankrupt with all
this 40s rubbish.

I thought it could be worse.

I mean, train spotting, for instance.

What's wrong with train spotters?

Perhaps it's me.

Maybe I'm too demanding.

He looks a bit tired sometimes.

Because women need different things from
marriage than men. And men never really

seem to understand what women want, do
they, Ron?

Well, I... You have always struck me as
a really confident bloke where women are

concerned. What would you say I want,
Ron?

What would you say I need?

Hold your horses, Yvonne.

Gary's my mate.

I mean, I know he can be a bit of a
plank sometime, but that's no reason why

and I should embark on some sensual
adventure which, once our immediate

lusts have been slaked, will leave us
spiritually lessened and emotionally

empty. What?

I mean, I'm flattered.

You'll be flattened in a minute.

Do you think I came here to get off with
you?

Well, you just said... Yes, I said, do
you know what I want?

I just meant, do you, as Gary's friend,
understand what a woman needs?

Because if you know, then maybe there's
an outside chance that Gary does too.

You mean I misread the signs?

There were no signs.

I would rather go to bed with Sid
Vicious.

He's dead.

Even so, Ron.

Oh, God, Yvonne.

I'm really sorry.

I mean, I've offended you in any way.
No, it's OK. Actually, you've helped.

You have reminded me that, comparatively
speaking, Gary is a hell of a catch.

Honestly. You men.

You all live in a fantasy world.

And with that, she vanished.

Only the heady scent of her ten -dollar
perfume marking the space where moments

people... Nostradamus printing. We
anticipate your needs.

Oh, hello. Thanks for calling back.

Have you got one in British Racing
Green?

Oh, that's great.

£80 ,000.

Does that include a full tank of petrol?

Never mind.

I'll have one anyway.

Yeah.

I'm about to come into an inheritance.

And then what happens?

Well, then, Professor Henry Higgins and
Eliza Doolittle, they go to this ball,

and she starts singing, I could have
danced all night, I could have danced

night. Excuse me, sir.

The imperial suite is available, sir.

Eight guineas a night.

Oh, that's OK. And your purchases, sir?

I'm afraid there are six guineas, sir.
Oh, well, quality seldom comes cheaply.

Here's the change.

Most kind.

Thank you. Well, he'll love them, he
ain't. Well, they've got problems.

She's got a dad. Bit of an interfering
old so -and -so.

Oh, well, that rings true, innit?

So what were you and that waiter chap
looking at?

Well, you know you said you didn't want
to go home during the raid.

Yeah.

Well, when I mentioned suite before,
it's like... Well, suite's another name

a hotel bedroom.

Very narrow.

Only it's called a suite because it's
more than one room. You know, there's a

bedroom, a bathroom, a living room.

That's a house.

You know,

you can have the bedroom and I'll sleep
on the cell phone.

That's a stupid idea.

But what do we tell Dad?

Well, we could always hope he spent the
night sheltering in the restaurant.

I'm not sure he'd believe us.

But on the other hand, he couldn't prove
otherwise, could he?

Fancy a cup of coffee and I'm sweet.

You must be joking.

Oh.

I just thought... I don't like coffee.

Cup of tea now.

Excuse me, sir. Do you have a
reservation?

I was in both battles of the Somme. I
don't have to reserve.

Oh, God.

What are you doing here? I can't even
spend a quiet...

You've had a telegram.

I thought you'd want to see it straight
off.

I can't open it.

It's Donald, isn't it?

What's it say?

He's been taken prisoner by the
Italians.

Oh, thank God.

He could have been killed.

Come on, love.

Let's go.

Do you have the money for a taxi?

A taxi? In the blitz? Not bloody likely.

Aye, sir.

Ladies' print.

Goodbye, Phoebe.

Gary,

I thought you were staying in Roanoke.

And why are you wearing Neville
Chamberlain's dinner suit?

Well, it's...

I just picked it off one of the stalls,
you know. I thought, well, it's in good

nick, they never go out of fashion, so I
tried it on in the toilets. Who with?

Sorry.

Whilst I was looking in the mirror, I
thought, nick my jeans and sweatshirt.

It's like that in Runcorn, Gary. It's
the wild north -west.

So, does that mean the memorabilia
affair was a complete disaster?

No, I managed to get rid of nearly
everything.

That's a shame.

Eh?

Maybe I was too tough on you.

Maybe I should have tried to share your
interests more.

Well, it doesn't matter. It's all over.

I'm not going back.

Back where?

Runcon.

What's that?

Oh, yeah.

I... I bought you something.

Now, before you open it, there's a story
attached.

Apparently, in 1940, this officer fell
in love with a married woman.

She loved him too, but although things
weren't too good between her and her

husband... She couldn't bring herself to
be unfaithful to him.

Until one night when this chap booked a
suite at the Savoy and bought her that.

But before anything happened between
them, she got this telegram saying her

husband had been taken prisoner.

She felt she couldn't go through with it
and so she left.

How romantic.

I wonder what happened to them all.

Well, he probably went back to his wife,
you know.

They took their marriage vows very
seriously in those days.

He must have been hell to be stuck in a
loveless marriage.

Oh, Gary.

This is gorgeous.

It looks like it was made yesterday.

Yeah.

That was so sweet, Gary.

Thank you.

Gary, there's a card inside.

Tonight, tonight won't be just any
night.

Tonight there will be no morning star.

So, what have you been watching, then?

That's from West Side Story, isn't it?
Looks like some old weepy, is it?

This couldn't have been written in 90...
Gary, you wrote this?

No, Stephen, sometimes.

I meant the card, you idiot.

You see, you can be sentimental
sometimes.

Actually, I wasn't watching a weepy.

It was the tape you left in the machine.

It's amazing what they went through.

Lunch may have been delayed a bit by
Thursday's visit of the King and Queen

the London Hospital in Whitechapel Road,
but these cherries passed from the

patients say it all.

Adolf, you're not beating us.

Now we see the King being introduced to
a privileged young plastic surgeon.

Gary?

Yeah?

Who does he remind you of?

Who?

The Doctor.

He's a dead ringer for you.

Well, yeah.

I suppose I'm glad I look like that.

If I'd been around then.

Good night, sweetheart.

Sleep well, banished sorrow.

Good night, sweetheart.

Till we meet tomorrow.

Dreams and fall due.

In memory I'll fold you.

Good night, sweetheart.
