All language subtitles for Benson s01e08 Jessica

Oh, my goodness.

Look at this.

Oh, Benson, this is a mansion.

Yeah, that's why they don't call it the
Governor's Hut.

Look, I'll go get the rest of your
luggage as soon as I get some feeling

my arms.

What's with all this luggage anyway?
You're only staying overnight.

Well, it's for the banquet tonight.

Well, by the time you unpack, it'll be
over.

I just couldn't decide what to bring.

So you brought everything?

Yes. Jessica!

Oh, Gene.

You look just the same. How long has it
been? And you look just the same,

too. Only better.

So good, in fact, I wouldn't have
recognized you if you didn't look just

same.

Well, even if you didn't look just the
same, I would have assumed it is you,

because, I mean, you are here, and you
did know who I was.

I'm glad we saw this.

I can't thank you enough for filling in
like this. The fact is, the lady I've

been seeing usually attends these
functions with me, but she had to beg

the last minute.

Oh, was she suddenly taken ill?

No, she got married in Rio this morning.

But you just love the Baron. What Baron?

Our guest of honor is the Baron Jacques
Darvenaux. The guest of honor is the

Baron? What'll I wear?

I'll go get the rest of your luggage.
You'll find something.

A real Baron. The Baron's been a guest
here at the mansion.

He's thinking of opening a winery here.

Well, Jean, I certainly think you have
the room for it.

I'm not here, Jessica. Here in the
state.

Excuse me, Governor. The Lieutenant
Governor is in your office.

Oh, well, tell him I'll be there in just
a minute.

Mrs. Tate, I'm Marcy Hill. Yes, I know.
The governor's executive secretary.

Yes, I know. You do?

Yes. Benson has written and told me
everything about all of you. All good, I

hope. Mostly.

You must be Taylor.

That is correct.

And may I say, it is not only an honor,
but an extreme privilege to make your

acquaintance. Thank you.

I see what you mean.

Why don't you just start the meeting
without me?

I always do.

You must be awfully proud of your
cousin. I am.

The whole family is.

Here you are, Governor.

And none of us thought you would amount
to anything.

There's still time.

Even in school, in chemistry class, Gene
was voted the student most likely to

dissolve.

I'd better get to my meeting. I'll see
you later.

Yes.

Tell me all about this baron. Well,
there isn't much to tell. The man's 87

old. 87 years old and he's still a
baron?

You'd think he'd be king by now.

Hi, Vincent.

Hi, Sugar.

I don't believe it. Is this... It is.

It can't be.

It can.

I don't believe it. You better.

Are you Katie?

I hope so.

This is your cousin Jessica, Katie.

Hello, darling.

Oh, my goodness. Do you know, I haven't
seen you since you were six months old.

Seems like only yesterday.

But, of course, it couldn't be just
yesterday because you've grown up so

I mean, not that I didn't expect you to
grow up, but, you see, it's always a

surprise to see someone that you can't
pick up anymore because they've gotten

big. Is this a widow?

I don't think so.

Would you like to show me to my room?

Sure. Did the rest of the family come,
too?

Thank you,

Miss Krause.

You're welcome, Mrs. Tate.

I think you're very sweet.

Thank you.

You're not at all like Benson said you
were in his letters.

Just what did our little poison pen pal
have? to say.

Oh, you know Benson.

Yeah, I'm afraid I do.

Good morning, Mrs. Tate. Good morning,
Benson.

Did you have a good time last night?

Oh, wonderful.

And the night before, and the night
before that.

I'm so glad the Baron talked me into
staying a few extra days.

Benson, he's so thoughtful, so charming,
and so cultured.

You should hear him speak French.

He is French.

Have you seen this morning's paper?

Oh, no, Benton. I never read the paper
anymore. It's so depressing.

Well, this should cheer you up.

Baron Jacques Dogno's constant companion
these nights is none other than

Governor Gatling's cousin, Mrs.

Jessica Tate.

Both are houseguests at the mansion,
which makes things very convenient for

but the taxpayers putting the bill for
their luxurious love nest.

Benson, he's just a sweet old man that
just wants somebody to make a fuss over

him. He's not interested in me in that
way.

I know that, Mrs. Tate, but this is a
state capital. It runs on rumor and

gossip. But that's not fair. We're not
doing anything.

Well, it's not what you and the Baron
are doing that counts. It's what the

and the governor's opponents say you're
doing.

Facts don't seem to matter in a
political town.

Gene is far too intelligent to pay any
attention to that twaddle.

Twaddle?

There's a lot more at stake here than
poo and twaddle.

Nonsense. I'll bet you that Gene thinks
this is very funny.

Jessica, where are you?

I think I hear him laughing now.

Jessica, if you must have a romantic
interview, don't have it in this state.

Turn in on this house.

Oh, Jessica, your capriciousness is
embarrassing my administration.

I hope you've changed, but now you're
still doing things without thinking,

the same old messy Jessie.

And you are still the same old mean
Jean.

No, no.

It is true. Do you know that he broke my
red tricycle? I did no such thing.

You did, too.

All right. Ask her what happened to my
catcher's mitt.

I don't want to know.

You lost it. I did not. You did, too.

Do you think me and Jane and Messy
Jessie can say they're sorry and be

again?

I think Benson's trying to tell us we're
being childish.

I was leaning more toward idiotic.

I'm sorry, Jessica.

I'm sorry, too, Gene.

Look, there's a simple way to put an end
to all this gossip about the Baron.

I'll get him a suite at the Marquis
Plaza.

No, the Baron's an official guest of the
state. I can't move him to a hotel.

No, no, I think the best thing to do is
I will move to the Marquis Plaza.

No, no.

I'll move to the Marquis Plaza.

You'll move to the Marquis Plaza?

That's very gracious, Governor, but it
doesn't solve the problem.

I really think the best thing is for me
to go. Fine, I'll reserve you a room.

And, Gene, I want you to know, in spite
of all the gossip, I promised the Baron

that I would go to the opera with him
tonight, and I cannot disappoint him.

I'll go and pack.

I'll get you a nice suite.

Thank you, Benson.

And I'll see to it that you get a new
catcher's mitt.

Come in, come in. Get in, quick.

I came as fast as I could.

What's the problem?

Oh, Benson.

Why couldn't you talk on the phone?

Oh, Benson.

My God, you're white.

But I've always been white.

No, no, I mean pale.

What's the problem?

Oh, well, you know the Baron, and we
were supposed to go to the opera this

evening. And he didn't show? Oh, no, no,
he showed up.

And then he ordered champagne from room
service.

I was in the other room, changing
clothes.

I came out in my gown, and he said to
me, Oh, you look so beautiful, très

charmant, très formidable.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, right, right.
And then he took a step toward me, and

went... And he sort of died.

He sort of died?

Well, forget the sort of he died.

Oh, you sure?

Oh, yes. Yes, I'm positive.

And after he died, did he take a cab
home?

Oh, no, no. He hasn't moved.

And where did he do this dying?

There. Where?

There.

I just didn't know what to do, Benson. I
mean, this never

happened to me before.

Well, it never happened to him before
either.

called you, because I figured you'd know
what to do. Did you call the police?

No, I wanted you to be here when they
came.

Thank you. That's one of my favorite
things, standing next to the body when

police come.

So, Benson, what are we going to do?

We? Yes.

Well, I don't know, but when the Baron's
found here, it's going to cause a

scandal that will embarrass you and the
Governor and the Baron. Not that he

cares anymore.

So, what are you saying, Benson?

Well, I guess what I'm saying is we've
got to find a way to get him out of here

and back to the mansion.

You mean move the Baron?

Well, he ain't gonna move himself.

Benson, what about respect for the dead?

Well, this is respect for the dead.
We're preserving his good name and

a scandal.

So, what are we going to do?

A lot of people saw him come in here and
they gotta see him go out.

I wish I could be of more help, Benson,
but you see, I've never been involved in

a sudden death before.

I once saw my hamster pass away.

He was so busy running and squeaking,
and then he just dropped into

the shredded paper.

His little wheel went around a couple of
more times.

Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak. Woman!

I don't think you understand the
seriousness of this situation.

Aaron was a hamster. I could put him in
my pocket and we could all take the hell

out of you.

Oh, Benson, please hurry up. I'm so
nervous.

Well, what do you think?

I think he looks much better.

All dressed up and no place to go.

Well, he was going to take me to the
opera tonight.

Obviously, he changed his mind.

Will we please go?

Oh, Benson, wouldn't it be wonderful?

You know, if we never had to part
company.

If we could be with our loved ones
forever, just the way they were.

You know, sort of the way Roy Rogers
stuffed Trigger.

Mrs. Tate. Of course, I realize it would
create a storage problem for your

larger families.

Mrs. Tate, we've got our own problems
here. We've got a dead body strapped to

luggage cart. We've got to get him out
of this room, into the car, down an

elevator, 14 floors, through a crowded
lobby, out the swinging doors, down...

the street and into my car without one
person saying, hey, look at those two

fools wheeling that dead body.

It's hard to believe that he's gone.

He ain't gone yet.

Would you please get the door?

Okay, Baron, let's get rolling.

the street. Ah, there is no English word
for that.

Baron, hello.

Bonjour. Say, I'm glad I caught you. I'm
Don.

I'd like to speak to you about your
Chateau Double No.

Can't you see the Baron doesn't want to
be bothered now? Baron? The Baron can't

talk shop at the moment. Perhaps I can
help you. Oh, Baron.

Are you associated with the Baron? Are
you kidding? He doesn't make a move

without me.

deal about wine?

All three flavors, red, white, and pink.

Look, I'm quite serious about this. I'm
thinking about buying a substantial

quantity of Chateau d 'Abonneau, shall
we say, 300 cases.

Are you having a party?

I'm buying it as an investment, and I
want some advice.

Hey!

What is it you'd like to know?

I'd like the Baron to recommend his best
year.

Oh, last year.

Really? I thought the frost ruined the
grapes. Oh, no, not at all. No, we put

little sweaters on them.

Pardon me, Baron.

I need a little hard of hearing.

Sir, I brought your call out front.

Oh, really?

Yes, to take you to the opera.

Oh, how lovely.

We probably should be going now.

Well, uh...

As a matter of fact, you see, the Baron
and I have decided to walk to the opera.

Walk? Oh, yes.

You see, it's so good for his
circulation.

It's ten miles to the opera house.

We know a shortcut.

Here you are. Thanks so much.

Excuse me.

Blessmanship, is there?

Last one to the door is a rotten egg.

Are you sure you're going to be all
right?

Eventually. I can't tell you how it
upset me to do this to the Baron.

I ain't too thrilled myself.

Why is it that people always assume that
when a man and woman are together that

it's always this?

Wishful thinking.

I bet this happens a lot.

Why? This.

No, this is the first.

I bet you there are people in hotel
rooms all over this country wheeling

bodies around like crazy.

You really ought to have someone to
help. You know, like they have a valet

they have a bell captain. They could
have somebody in charge. Mrs. Tate, I am

tired. You better get yourself out of
here so I can get the Baron to bed.

I'm so sorry that the Baron died.

Me too, because he could have walked.

You take my car and get yourself back to
the hotel.

I'm going to see if the coast is clear.

Benson, I don't know what I'd do without
you. I wish you'd have done this

without me.

Good night, Benson. Good night, Mrs.
Tate. Good night, Bear.

Well, look who's here.

I assume you have come to my kitchen to
apologize.

Well, I have never been one to hold a
grudge.

But it is hard for you to talk about it,
yeah?

other day.

I am sorry for slapping you if you are
sorry for, well, you know.

It just took me by surprise, that's all.

So, I tell you what, tomorrow morning I
will make your favorite breakfast for

you, anything you like.

What do you say, Baron?

Are we still friends?

Forgive and forget?

Oh, you think you are too good for me,
is that what it is?

a big shot.

I have been ignored by better men than
you.

Ah, Krauss.

What are you doing here? Never mind,
Benson.

The Baron and I were just having a
little discussion.

What did he say?

Nothing.

Good.

Come on, Baron. Let's get you to bed.

You look dead on your feet.

Believe it. Poor man.

Yeah. And poor me.

I feel so guilty.

There's no reason you should, Miss
Krause. But I said such terrible things

him last night.

Well, probably went in one ear and out
the other.

You're just saying that to try and cheer
me up.

Why would I want to do that?

Good point.

Thank you, Benson.

Good morning.

Good morning. How is everyone this
morning?

Just fine, considering.

Have all the arrangements been made? The
Baron's family will meet the plane.

I'm sure he's happy where he is.

At the airport?

Oh, Benson, I mean his spirit.

You see, I happen to believe that there
is an afterlife.

Oh, of course there is. That's why we
have Social Security.

Oh.

No, Jean, I mean even after that.

You see, we may all be thousands of
years old. I happen to believe that we

back in other forms.

My luck, I'll come back as myself.

Benson, what do you think you'll be when
you come back?

I don't know, but I ain't coming back
without a Reese.

Daddy, it's almost time for Cousin
Jessica's play.

Oh, are you ready?

Yes. Mrs. Tate, I'm really sorry to see
you go. It was a pleasure meeting you. I

certainly wish you all the best.

I like you a lot.

Thank you, Marcy. I like you, too.

I'll have them bring the car around.
Thank you.

around here all day, you're going to
miss your plane.

All right.

We'd better go.

I'll be along in a minute.

All right.

Let's go.

Benson, now you know that it's hard
enough for me to say goodbye to you at

But I mean, to say goodbye to you in an
airport is absolutely impossible.

I mean, we'd hug and I'd cry and my
mascara would run. And I'd think of a

thousand things to say. I'll probably
miss the plane. Then we'll have to say

goodbye all over again.

Mrs. Tate.

You know, we've been through a lot
together.

Mm -hmm.

But I think this just about tops it.

I certainly hope so.

You know, you are the most remarkable
man I ever met.

Oh, come on. Oh, I mean, there is
nothing you can't do.

Well, there is one thing I can't do.

What's that?

Stop missing you.

Goodbye, Vincent.

Goodbye, Jessica.

Hi, Katie.

Thank you.

Did you like the Baron?

Well, I didn't really know him that
well.

Did you like the part you knew?

Yeah.

He seemed to really appreciate being
alive.

Doesn't everyone?

Nope. Some people spend their lives
complaining about what they haven't got

getting more than they need.

They never seem to enjoy what they have.

What do you have, Benson?

Oh, I got a pretty good job, my family.

A few friends, and you to fill in the
dull spots.

Too bad for Darren when he died.

We're all born and we all die, Katie.
It's what we do in between that counts.

Like being patient with kids bouncing
the ball while you're trying to work.

Like working later and challenging that
kid to a bike race. You're on till I get

a head start. Are you kidding? You're
way ahead of me already.
