Original subtitles

This is a very proud day for me.

I trust the House of Elliot feels the same.

Indeed. Well, you couldn't ask for a fairer deal.

Mr Wynne knows how to protect your interest.

A certain amount of give and take is always necessary, isn't it? Well, just

long as one side isn't doing all the taking.

So, do we have a name for the ready -to -wear yet?

We thought we might call it the Aurora Collection.

The Aurora Collection?

The New Dawn.

Ah. Excellent.

Well, I look forward to seeing what the House of Elliot is going to come up with

to justify the title.

Cheers.

He's done wrong. You don't know that.

Don't I?

There's people who could have spoke up for him and didn't. You don't want to

tell the truth.

Since when have places like this been about the truth?

in his nose into other people's business.

I'm sorry, Mrs Butcher.

I wouldn't have had it happen like this for the world.

Words come cheap.

He's in prison.

And you've got off scot -free. Come on, then.

I'm sorry.

You can see how upset she is.

Can I say something?

All suggestions gratefully received.

Who do you expect to buy a design like this?

A young woman who wants to look stylish without spending a fortune. A young

working woman. They need clothes that are practical.

And this isn't.

I'd wear this for work.

Yeah, but you don't travel to work on a crowded bus.

It'd be earthlessly creased in no time at all.

Look at this.

It's jersey.

It doesn't crease.

And it's got a bit of giving it, so the fitting isn't quite so crucial, which

makes sense for ready -to -wear.

It's cheap, too.

Cheapness isn't the only consideration.

Let me know what you think of these.

I like that.

It's Gracer's.

Interesting.

You're obviously working well together. I'll leave these.

I am grateful, Grace.

If you could keep on coming up with ideas for the ready -to -wear, it's

give me time to work on the autumn collection.

Good.

I appreciate this, Joseph. Thank you.

Tilly, Madge.

Hello.

What are you doing here?

Nothing too suspicious.

Have dinner with me on Thursday night and I'll tell you.

I'll collect you from here.

We've decided to take on a new member of staff.

Only three days a week.

She'll mainly be here to help me with the ledger work and the invoicing.

There's more than I can cope with on my own now.

She? Yes.

Katya Beletsky.

A young Russian girl.

From what I've heard, she should be a real asset.

So why are you telling us this, then?

You're heads of the workroom and entitled to be consulted.

Besides, I'm not sure there'll always be enough work to keep her occupied.

I thought perhaps you might find her useful in the workroom. Whenever you

an extra pair of unskilled hands.

She'll be here on Thursday.

Thanks much.

Well, thought I'd push the boat out a bit to celebrate.

And what are we celebrating?

Albert's in the clear.

You've had a lucky escape then, haven't you?

Meaning?

Meaning that's what happens when you go rabble -rousing. Now listen... Can we

just enjoy our meal, please?

I do feel bad about Stan.

It really went against him, him having been a prizefighter.

What's going to happen to him?

He's being held till the trial comes up.

What's the charge?

Manslaughter. Oh.

Think you'd get anything from nine years to life for that?

Courtesy of the great British legal system.

Poor Bessie.

Poor Bessie. Never thought I'd do myself saying that.

Well, Albert, you've been lucky in no mistake.

Look, I didn't hit anybody.

Agnes told him that.

All the same.

All the same, what?

Look, as soon as I can find somewhere I'm off, I'm not wanting to stay where

not wanted.

Ladies, this is Katja Bilecki. What sort of name do you call that then?

Katja will be working part -time in the office and giving a helping hand in here

as necessary.

Well, Katja, you're a lucky girl.

Yes. Mr. Maddox is kind. We lose everything in Berlin.

Mr. Maddox?

He speaks to Mr. Wins for me.

Mr. Maddox?

Yes? Can I have a word?

Of course not.

It's about my brother, Albert.

Mm -hm.

When I tried to get him work here, there was nothing doing.

But when some gentle little foreigner needs work, all it needs is a word from

you and he's got a job.

Well, it's all right for some, isn't it? But not for hard -working English folk.

Now, listen, Madge.

I know nothing about your brother's circumstances.

I'm sure if there had been work... But Albert's a minor.

He lost his job because he stood by his principles.

You did very well out of the strike with that film of yours, didn't you? But

suppose that was all for show.

You didn't mean any of it. I think that will be enough, Matt.

I'm sorry.

It's just, Albert's a good man.

I can't bear to see his life going to waste.

I'm desperate to help him.

I'd be willing to do anything.

I understand.

I don't see how I can help him, but if there is anything I can do, I shall.

Well, since it seems Madge took it upon herself to take you to task, I see no

reason for me to do so as well.

I didn't realize she'd approached you about her brother.

There was nothing we could find for him.

You can't help everyone with the problem, Jack.

After all... Do you know Matthew Judson? His wife's one of your clients.

He's got new building works all over London.

Perhaps he could find work for Magic's brother on one of his sites.

Not necessarily skilled work, but better than nothing.

Why not telephone him?

Here I am trying to put the world to rights and not a word about us.

What more is there to say?

Well, after the other evening, I rather thought... I still care for you, Jack.

But? A great deal has happened.

Ah.

Do you like it, Evie?

Mm, very much.

You should come with us to the Piero Club then, shouldn't you, Grace?

The Piero Club?

It's the place to go. Miles loves it. We could make up a party and go dancing.

I'd love to.

Let's settle that.

Cigarette?

Uh, no, thank you.

As far as potential producers are concerned, I've nearly reached the

the barrel.

It doesn't seem fair.

Your writing is so good.

If no one likes the scenario, there's not a lot I can do, is there?

Don't give up hope.

No.

No, I'll never do that.

I ought to go.

Well, I've had a lovely evening.

Both of you. I've really enjoyed it. Good.

I'll show you out. Bye.

Miles?

Yes? You're not funny can't fooling with Benjamin, are you?

I do think he's wonderful.

You don't have to work with her.

Only everything is neat and simple.

But it isn't.

Meaning?

Meaning it's wrong to think we can just start up again if nothing had happened.

Choose your moment, Bea.

I'm trying to be honest.

And how am I supposed to react?

I don't like playing guessing game.

When you've sorted out whatever this is that you have to sort out, then come and

talk to me. Until then, I'm really not interested.

You look pleased with yourself, Madge.

Mr. Wheat's just told me I'm going to be in charge of the finishing on the ready

-to -wear collection.

That'll bring you in a pretty penny.

The money will be useful, yes?

Yes, well, that's how life is, isn't it?

Some get things handed them on a plate.

Look, you know I'm sorry about what happened, Betty, but don't take it out

me.

How's Percy, then, Agnes? We ain't heard much of him lately.

Well, he took me dancing last night, treated me like royalty.

Nothing's too much trouble, except paying up, Beth.

Oh, that ain't fair.

Percy's not mean.

Let's just say he's chronically broke.

It'll show the lot of you. You'll see.

I was told to bring this.

I was told to bring this.

Yeah, but be careful of that fabric, Tilly. There might be foreign bodies

lurking in it.

You mustn't let them upset you.

They'll come round in time.

Have you found someone to look after?

No.

Mr Maddox is most kind, but...

It's not fair to him.

We look, but... Well, I have a proposal to make.

My daughters are grown -up women now. Both of them fled the nest, as it were,

and their bedrooms are free. They're only small rooms, mind, but my wife and

have talked it over and would like to offer the rooms to you and your

grandfather, if you like them when you see them, that is.

The rent would come in very handy, believe me.

And if you don't believe me...

Ask my wife.

You are so kind.

Thank you.

This way.

Not this way.

No, no, not at all.

Well, we've got everything we're happy with so far.

Good, good.

Now, the thing to remember is not to get nervous.

It's this way.

Captain Robson's an influential man. If he decided to take the Aurora collection

in any quantity, it'd be a real feather in our cap.

Now, the thing is, some people think he's a bit stuffy, but there's no need

worry. He's a friend of mine.

What do you think?

They're certainly very modern.

Not aggressively so, I trust.

Jersey is very much the coming fabric.

Our customers do not always take kindly to innovation, Miss Elliot.

How about that?

Now, that I must certainly could not sell.

What are you talking about? It's got everything.

Style, practicality, good quality fabric.

Thank you very much for letting me look at this.

I appreciate your courtesy in showing it to me so early in your preparations.

Yeah, but come on, Robson, what do you think?

I think, on due consideration, there are several lines I might be interested

in purchasing to put into our store later in the year.

He did like the collection, didn't he?

Well, most of it.

Oh, yes. And when it came down to it, he particularly liked that jersey suit.

Of course, we must be cautious. At the moment, we're just testing the water.

One step at a time, remember?

Oh.

I didn't realise you were back from Paris.

Not an unpleasant surprise, I hope.

No, it's not. Thank you.

Come in, do.

I'm sorry, I really am.

And yet you're saying you like it?

As an idea, yes. What does that mean?

Well, taking all this very personally.

I don't have much choice, do I?

Listen, I know it's good. Everyone I've shown it to seems to agree, and yet no

one will... Is there something wrong with me?

Jack, you're being naive.

Am I?

This is dangerous stuff.

People are still angry with the Germans. You can't expect them to feel sorry for

a nation of warmongers. They are just the same as us.

Well, that's only your view, which, forgive me, is a rather controversial

So that's it. The word's out to give me a wide berth because I'm a dangerous

radical. It's ridiculous. I can't comment on the views of others. But that

your view. But I, for one, would always be very willing to consider...

other, less abrasive ideas from you.

Yes.

I don't think I should be giving you the opportunity.

Good day.

Is your work going well?

Yes, on the whole.

We're very busy.

Not too busy, I hope.

You should come and see both of our shows. The Ready to Wear and the Autumn

Collection would value your opinion.

Wouldn't we be?

Indeed. Well, I'd be delighted if I'm still here, that is.

Bea, I wonder if you'll be free to dine with me one evening.

Soon. Yes.

Yes, of course.

Good. I'll hold you to that.

Well, I suppose I'd better be going.

I'll let you get on with your work.

Evie?

What now? What do you mean?

Well, they both still seem very interested in you.

And one of them's a married man.

I'm starting next week.

So happy for you.

Congratulations.

Thanks, Gerry.

You're a lucky man.

Not many people have friends in high places. I just can't win with you, can

Oh, don't start up again.

Why don't we all go out together for once and celebrate?

Where? Well, some of the feeks on at the pavilion.

Valentino. All them wailing women when he died.

Ridiculous.

You've had sillier ideas.

But what that old man's got hidden away in all those bags, I can't imagine.

Come in.

I thought you might like some tea.

Oh, thank you.

How are you getting on?

We make a mess.

I'm sorry.

This is all that is left of my life.

That jewelry, where did that come from? I made it.

Well, that is beautiful.

I had to sell most of my work just to survive.

That one, I'm afraid, is not for sale.

I made it for my wife.

Oh.

And... Where is she now, your wife and Katya's mother and father?

They were killed in Russia.

Grandfather take me to Berlin.

I am so sorry.

No, don't be.

No.

What a bloody shambles.

Is it always like this?

No. Sometimes it's worse.

That Judson seemed an efficient sort of love.

Judson? Did you say Judson?

Yeah. Well, he's the boss, isn't he?

Well, yeah.

But we're working for somebody who's working for somebody who's working for

if you get me.

By the time it's down to us, nobody cares what happens.

We'd never have put up with it back home.

Well, if we're saying this is the cutting room, then the cutting tables

have to go along that wall there.

Joseph, my friend, you look unhappy.

I had expected somewhere better appointed, Mr. Carter.

Oh, I've seen worse than this.

I've rented them, too.

I don't doubt it.

But the House of Elliot has always prided itself on good conditions for its

workers. Are you saying this isn't good enough? I don't want to pre -empt any...

No, no, no, that's fine by me, Joseph.

Plenty of other warehouses to look at.

And what the House of Elliot wants, the House of Elliot shall have.

Here.

I've missed you, Beatrice.

It hasn't been so very long.

Time enough to think.

Think?

About what I feel and what I want.

I'll have to go back to the States before too long. The business won't run

itself. I can appreciate that.

What happened between us is very important to me.

And I hope it is to you.

I want to marry you, Bea.

I need an answer before I go back to New York.

You see, I need to know whether I'll be coming back to England as soon as I can

to marry you.

Or whether I'd forget you.

I wish I could be as direct and honest as you are.

Can't you?

When we met... I thought my marriage was over.

And it isn't.

I don't know.

Let's see.

Donald, you've taken me completely by surprise.

You're very special to me.

When I give you my answer, I want it to be wholehearted.

And for you to know that it is wholehearted.

Will you give me a little time to consider?

Of course.

After all, I've only just asked you.

The old companies in this country have always played safe. Not this time.

They're all businessmen in search of a profit.

You can't expect them to want a controversial director on their books

you? Ben, they're all scared stiff.

It's the usual state of mind.

You know, you should write it all up.

It would be interesting.

Write a few people, actually.

There are several magazines where you can place an article.

describing your experiences.

Only small journals, but better than nothing if you're prepared to quote

and verse, that is.

What have I got to lose?

That's the spirit.

Most people don't have the guts.

They think it will be the end of their career. I don't see a future for myself

in an industry that turns its back on unpleasant truths.

It's sounding good already.

I've never done anything like it before.

Try.

And you think people would be interested?

If you don't do it, I shall be very tempted to write it myself.

Oh, Pip.

I hope you didn't spoil your dress.

No, really, it was a letter.

Oh, I know her.

Who? That girl over there.

She and her mother are playing.

So you haven't met her girlfriend, then?

That's why the Clare O 'Clock says it.

Everyone can be themselves, Pip.

And nobody mine.

Excuse me, there must be some mistake.

Daniel, good to see you.

I'm sure you weren't expecting to.

Evening, this is Daniel Page, an old friend of ours from art school. He's a

painter.

Evangeline Elliot.

I'm sorry, I thought you were a winter.

I am.

I had to make ends meet somehow.

Daniel was the most talented member of our class. Oh, come on, Miles.

But you were, you are.

You should see his paintings, even.

I'd love to.

I'll bring around.

How about tomorrow?

Well, if you're sure.

Look, I'd better get back to work or I'll get a telling off.

Miss Elliot?

Let's have a drink later on, when it quietens down.

Oh, well.

Who'd have thought it?

Good morning,

Grace.

Evie is indisposed this morning.

Would you supervise work on the autumn collection?

Just for this morning.

I'll be happy to.

Thank you.

So I looked at them and I thought, you miserable pair.

My sister Violet says Salishu's lovely.

Well, I'm going to go and see it on my own on Friday so I can put that in the

pipes and smoke it.

The neckline isn't working, is it?

I beg your pardon, Miss Keeble?

The neckline.

It should be wider.

It's all right, Mr Charles.

Miss Edie's not feeling well, so Miss Beatrice has put me in charge of the

collection.

Well, thanks for being a person.

Be seeing you.

What are you going to ask me?

I can't do that.

Come on.

You always aren't going to be back here, are you? No, but... I want to see where

you work, Agnes.

I've heard so much about it.

Here, Agnes.

Do you care for the next dance?

I'll put it back, for goodness' sakes. I'll be in trouble.

I'll put it back if you give me a kiss.

It wasn't too bad, was it?

You'd better go now, Purse. Please.

All right.

Take care of yourself girl.

After a minute.

Feeling any better?

Yes, until I saw this.

The neckline has been completely changed in my absence.

I'm afraid that's my fault.

Oh? I asked Grace to supervise the collection when you weren't here.

But you didn't ask her to redesign it.

No.

Grace is really going too far.

She's trying to run before she can walk. She'll be fine on the ready -to -wear,

reworking original ideas, but she cannot be let loose on couture like this.

I'm sorry, I'll have a word with her.

I didn't realise she would misinterpret my instructions.

Hello, Mars.

Is now a good time to show you what I've been working on?

Of course.

Um... This one... It's called Harlequin's Serenade.

There's lovelorn Harlequin with his lute.

And there on the balcony is his columbine in a dress designed for her by

House of Elliot.

Bea, well, the autumn collection has wonderful ideas so far, but there's no

dominant theme.

Maybe we should use the illustrations to give the collection its identity.

Commedia dell 'arte is so alluring.

We could use it to convey a whole atmosphere, not just simply record what

designed.

It may even inspire a few designs themselves, Miles.

Gosh.

So you see, Beatrice, our evening at the Piero Club wasn't a complete waste of

time. I never suggested it was.

I'll leave these with you.

Oh, Evie, don't forget about Daniel.

Oh, I hadn't. I'm looking forward to it.

Calm down, Tilly.

I'm sure there's an explanation.

I can't believe what we've lost.

Were you sure you couldn't have left it somewhere?

Somebody's stolen it.

Who'd want to do that to Tilly, of all people?

Katya, you wouldn't by any chance know anything about a purse?

I don't understand.

Tilly's purse has gone missing.

And there aren't many people around here we think would take it. Oh, you think I

steal her money? I just can't spare it. At the moment, everything I pay it

counts.

What's going on?

These ladies think I steal Tilly's purse.

I see.

That's a very serious accusation. Katya, Tilly, would you step into my office,

please?

I hope we're not putting too much trouble.

That's all right.

Milk?

Please.

Must be very difficult for you, painting in these conditions.

Yes, I was painting, that is.

Well, I'm sure you will again soon.

Of course he will.

Look, you can't put it off much longer, particularly if you're due at work soon.

You're not shocked. No.

No, it's very simple.

Now do you see why I wanted you to come here?

I really felt I was getting somewhere when I painted that.

How much is... I was going to ask you the painting for sale.

Oh, yeah.

Definitely.

There's nothing there except what rightfully belongs to Katya.

I'm sorry about your loss, Tilly, and I'll do my best to find out who the

is.

Nothing will be gained by accusing innocent people.

Thank you, Mr. Reed.

I just hope you won't hold what happened against the others, Katja.

Oh, um, when I go to basement after lunch, there is man there with scar

here.

Agnes, if you please.

Did you bring Percy into the workroom today?

I'm not holding you responsible for what he may have done, but I do need to

know.

Well, yeah.

I did bring him in for a few minutes.

There weren't any harm in that, was there?

Besides, he couldn't have done it because I heard him leave.

Did you?

Yeah, I'm sure I did.

We'll just be more careful in future, Agnes.

You're taking a big risk bringing anybody in who isn't a member of staff.

Dwayne, may I go now, please?

All right, Agnes.

Silly. What?

How much did you lose?

Only wages.

Well, make it up, do you? Oh, Agnes, don't be silly. It's not your fault.

We are.

Take mine.

But, Agnes, I don't understand why.

I have spoken to Grace.

What do you think of this?

This is by Miles's friend, is it? That's right.

He's talented, no doubt about it.

More than that, Bea.

It's such a terrible waste.

I've decided to help him out.

What do you mean?

Well, at the moment, he can't even afford to buy new canvases or paints.

I thought I'd help him find a new studio, equip it properly.

Studios can be expensive.

I know. I can afford it.

Just think of the prestige his success could bring the house of Elliot.

Hey, you.

You're talking to me, by any chance?

You're right, I am.

And don't come to high and mighty with me.

You're here to work, and you're damn lucky to have some, so I don't want you

stirring up more trouble.

What am I supposed to have done? You know very well I've had weeks of you

pounding off to the others.

So, what do you want me to do?

You used to be a miner, didn't you?

You ought to be used to working underground.

Over the other side, digging the sewers.

Any objections?

No.

Perhaps we should put Mr Robson there between Miss Beatrice and Miss

These people are hard nuts to crack, Miss Keeble. I'm sure we'll do it.

I wish I was.

We can't fail.

Why can't you accept my help?

You could give up working at the club.

Find new paints, new canvases. It's all there for the asking.

Maybe that's why I feel I can't take it.

Pride, you mean?

It's more complicated than that.

I appreciate your good intentions, but no.

I'm not just doing you a favour, you know.

I've discussed it with my sister. Sometimes expenses like this can be

the business.

And it's as simple as that.

Look, Daniel, please.

That painting I bought was superb.

I can't bear the thought of someone with that kind of talent never painting

again.

Can you at least understand that?

The others are having their dinner.

Hallelujah.

Fair, fair, isn't it?

Hello? I'll take three in the 34, three in the 36, one each of the 32 and the

38.

How are we doing, Joseph?

See for yourself, Miss Keeble.

Quite a number of orders for the rayon blouses.

Indeed. Albert?

Albert?

It's Mr Maddox.

Albert, I don't know what to say.

You don't have to say anything.

I feel responsible.

I sent you to Judson. It's got now to do with Judson.

At least, I'm sure he doesn't know what goes on in his name.

He doesn't want to know properly.

I shall tell him.

It won't make any difference.

The site was unsafe.

You're all working every hour that God sends with no proper safety precautions.

It is immoral.

You don't have to tell me, Mr Maddox.

No, of course not.

But if there is anything, anything I can do to bring these people to court...

There's nothing special about them, Mr Maddox.

It's like that everywhere.

Worse in some places.

There's nothing we can do.

Believe me, I know.

We fought the mine on this and lost.

Thank you all the same.

Wish it wasn't sending me home like this.

You can't look after me much with all you've got on your plate.

Life's hard sometimes, isn't it?

I'm sorry I'm late.

Don't worry, my little girl. It's a big show tomorrow.

And the dresses...

It's a beautiful grandfather.

The colors.

I'm glad you're happy, Dushka.

That is what matters most.

We've come a long journey together, Katya.

And I do not think we will ever need to move again.

Sorry to crash in like this.

I just wanted to come and see how you were getting on.

Very kind of you.

Not at all.

It's a relief to be here.

I meant over everything, as a matter of fact.

Chosen well, isn't he?

I was lucky.

It's just become vacant.

A studio this good will like gold dust.

We should go and have a drink to celebrate.

Daniel?

I was hoping to start work first thing tomorrow.

I think we'd be very rude if I didn't come along.

You two go.

Evie.

I ought to be going too.

With the show tomorrow, I should get an early night.

Good night, Miles.

Good night. Good night, Daniel.

Good night.

Hello, Charles.

Hello there.

Were you watching the film too?

I was indeed.

Did you like it?

Oh, yeah.

Don't you forget your troubles, don't you?

How is the whole book?

Oh, um, it's, uh, it's that cold now.

My mother's up again.

Well, that's fine.

Um, is your fiancé not here with you then?

Uh, no, no.

Clara, no, no.

He wasn't feeling well, so I'm on my own.

Me too.

I ought to be going.

Gerry will be wondering what's happened to me.

Well, I'll see you tomorrow then, Charles.

There's still no line of catching yet.

Typical, just when we really need her.

How are you at times?

Wouldn't you if you had Miss Keeble laying down the law all the time?

Oh, I'll be all right.

Agnes, can you get this press, please, quickly?

Tilly, can you come and give me Anne, please?

Catcher isn't here, Mr. Wint. He could have done with her for once.

I'm afraid she won't be here, Major. Oh?

Her grandfather died this morning.

Moving away from the familiar English countryside, we now come to

the immortal world of the Commedia dell 'Arte.

Speak.

Sorry.

Where were we?

Helen, we'll start again.

Moving away from the familiar English countryside, we now come to the immortal

world of the Commedia dell 'arte.

Be careful. We begin with a charming thing.

What is the matter, Charles?

It's Tilly.

She's fainted.

Come on, Tilly.

I'm fine.

Honestly, I'm fine. The taxi's been ordered.

Tilly, no argument.

I really don't want to miss your collection.

Everything's in hand. You mustn't worry.

Besides, there's your baby to consider now.

Some things are more important than work.

Thank you, Miss Evie.

I hope the show goes well.

I'm still glad that you enjoyed it. The whole show was lovely.

Thank you.

Would you excuse me, please?

Of course.

You really have been busy, haven't you?

Congratulations. Thank you. I'm glad you could come.

I know this isn't the play, but I really think it's the time you gave me an

answer.

Don't you?

Congratulations. It's such a relief when it's a moment.

Even when it's been such a big success?

Even then.

But you're all right this evening?

Can't wait to relax.

Grace. Yes?

Well, I suppose now's the time to give you the good news.

You've survived the trial period. We'd like you to stay on.

I've been talking it through with Beatrice, and we'd like you to take

the ready -to -wear.

Under our supervision, of course.

And the couture? Well, better than I can manage that on our own. It's the ready

-to -wear I have problems with.

I just don't seem to have your flair. I see.

Thank you, Evie.

Well, I'll see you two later on tonight.

I thought you'd be pleased.

What? To be excluded from all the couture work?

I'm thrilled to bits.

I think I should turn in.

I'm exhausted.

Good night now, Miles.

Good night,

Grace.

Grace doesn't usually go to bed this early.

I thought we were supposed to be celebrating.

Maybe it's deliberate.

Deliberate?

So that you and I can be alone together.

You must have guessed how I feel about you.

I think about you all the time.

I'm crazy about you, I really am.

But I'm... I'm not very good at saying what I feel.

Is that any hope?

I'm very fond of you, Miles.

You're a good friend, but... But that's all.

You don't want to be burdened with a problem like me.

Don't I just?

I admire your talent, Miles.

I enjoy your company. I've loved all the evenings I've spent here.

But... the spark isn't there.

And if it isn't there, I can't pretend it is, can I?

You do understand.

Can I come in?

I didn't get a chance to beat you at the collection.

I read your article on the German film.

I thought it was very good.

Not everyone would agree with you.

But it was well received, wasn't it?

In the main, yes.

Is that what you came here to tell me?

No.

I have been involved in a close relationship with another man for some

Close? No, not like that, Jack.

We were friends, good friends.

No more than that.

But it's over now.

You sure?

He asked me to marry him.

I said no.

He's gone back to America.

You knew, didn't you?

I guessed.

Why did you send?

Because I still love you.

Well, that's wonderful to hear.

And there's something else.

What?

I'm pregnant.
