- Nonsense, child.

You have to learn to conquer your silly fears.

- Perhaps you should have gone to India, Miss Mary.

Where at least it's clear who the natives are.

My trunk!

- Don't worry.

This is a civilized country.

- I beg your pardon?

- Mulligan? Mary Mulligan?

- Yes.

- Oh, my name is Ernesto (indistinct).

I'm the administrator of the estancia.

- Oh!

- [Ernesto] My sister asked me to come and meet you.

- Thank you, senor.

- Follow me, please.

(train whistle blows)

- My trunk, it's all I have in the world.

- Okay, this way.

(train chugging)

(car rumbling)

(birds squawking)

(birds chirping) (sprinkler running)

- Oh. No, thank you.

- Welcome to Argentina, Miss Mary. How was your trip?

- [Mary] Oh, quite pleasant, thank you.

- Pleased to meet you.

Please.

- My husband believes that he'd only

go after Jews and communists.

This is Johnny's room.

What do people say in England?

- Oh, in London, people are afraid.

- Of Hitler?

Oh, come on. He's a maniac.

You shouldn't take him that seriously.

- People are afraid of war.

- And this is your room.

- Ah.

- I hope you'll find it comfortable.

- Oh, I'm sure I will.

- You're too pretty to be a governess.

- Oh, I think a good position in a respectable house

is fit for any lady.

- Well this is your kingdom.

The playroom. For rainy days and for after sundown.

This way, please.

Cipriano, Martinez.

This is the little crying room for when I'm sad.

(birds chirping)

- Oh, how lovely.

- Come and meet my mother-in-law.

Mama Victoria?

Mama Victoria?

It's Miss Mary, the new governess.

- Oh yes, yes.

- Come and meet the children.

- [Mary] So you're Teresa.

May I call you Terry?

- It's a dog's name.

- It's lovely.

- That's what we'd call you in England.

- But we're not in England.

- And who are you, may I ask?

- I'm Isadora Duncan.

The dancer who passed away, strangled by herself.

- You don't say "passed away", Carolina.

- And why can't I say "passed away"?

- Because that's the way the servants talk, to us it's died.

- Hello, I'm Johnny.

(gong ringing)

- Lunch is served.

He's my father.

(birds chirping)

- My daughters are not to be out of your sight

a single moment.

- I thought, um, this was a safe country.

- No woman is safe as long as there are men around.

You should know that.

What made you come to Argentina?

- I enjoy traveling and,

well, I knew there was a great demand

for a qualified governesses in Argentina.

I have no income.

- But lovely blue eyes.

Or are they violet?

Now, I expect you to teach my daughters

a little of everything.

English, history, needlework, art, et cetera.

But above all,

I want them well brought up and closely supervised.

- May I say senor, that all the young ladies

I have brought up have attained the state of marriage

in an eminently suitable condition.

- My daughters are difficult.

The eldest wants to be an actress.

Their mother is hopeless, much too soft.

You are the seventh governess to enter this house.

So if you think it necessary, you may use a cane.

- Oh.

- I was often caned when I went to school in England.

- Well, I hope we shall not need to use it.

- You're a Catholic, I presume.

- It's in the contract.

- Good, good.

I also want lots of religion.

- Yes.

- Religion keeps women out of trouble.

(faint piano music) (birds squawking)

(somber piano music)

- Dead,

dead, alive,

dead,

alive.

Dead,

dead,

Tell me, Mecha, has Maria Teresa died?

(somber piano music)

(person speaking Spanish on radio)

(radio clicks off)

(somber piano music)

(billiard balls clack)

- I knew it would happen.

- The Reich have captured Teruel.

- You want to volunteer?

So these things wouldn't happen.

Come on.

Where's your sense of humor?

Pick a cue.

How do you find the new governess?

- An English woman?

- (chuckles) One can't hate you. You're so consistent.

- And for you that's a mistake.

- No, let's just say an exaggeration.

- You know what drives me mad?

That they're fighting a cause for people like you.

- That's the way it is, Ernesto.

Either with us or with the communists.

(billiard balls clack)

- [Mary] Hurry up girls, it's time to go to bed.

You're not to lock yourselves in the bathroom.

- Coming, Miss Mary. We are brushing our teeth.

(liquid trickling)

- Oh, disgusting. It's warm.

- Keep still.

- Now I don't want you to go to the bathroom together

in future, is that clear?

- Miss Mary, we have a welcome present for you.

- Oh, how nice.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

(sniffs loudly)

So.

This is Argentine perfume.

(bottle thunks)

(door slams)

(somber piano music)

- Dead.

Dead.

Alive.

How fortunate that Di Bosio died.

If not, he would've left his wife.

(crickets chirping)

- Did you look your beds?

- Yes, mama. - Yes, mama.

(door creaking)

I've seen a strange man near the woodshed.

- Oh, mama. It's the gardener's brother.

- God bless you.

God bless you.

(crickets chirping)

(footsteps approaching)

- [Mary] My arrival was quite an event.

The whole family was at the station to greet me.

They're warm and friendly

and the two little girls are delightful.

The low, white Spanish house has a large patio

in which this evening, the whole family danced the tango

to the sound of throbbing guitars.

(Mary sobbing)

(Mary sniffling)

It was lovely to watch.

And I soon will be able to dance the tango myself.

So, mother dear, don't you worry about me.

- Well, look who's coming.

- [Carolina] It's Pacheco's widow.

- [Mecha] To me, she's still a manicurist at the jockey.

- But if old Pacheco married her and then died,

she's Pacheco's widow.

(car rumbling)

(people speaking Spanish)

- [Mary] Once upon a time in a huge, splendid palace

lived an old king.

His name was King Lear.

It was winter and the snow was falling gently.

Now the king had three daughters,

Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia.

And as he was getting old,

he had decided to share his kingdom between them.

So he called them to him in his palace and asked them,

which of you loves me the most?

(people speaking Spanish)

(people continue speaking Spanish)

(people continue speaking Spanish)

(people continue speaking Spanish)

- And then, poor King Lear finally died

because his sorrow and his grief

were greater than his madness.

(Teresa crying)

Why, Terry.

Dear, it's nothing but a tale.

- It's so sad.

- Oh, it's a stupid story.

How could the king not know his daughter loved him?

He deserve to die.

(horse hooves clopping) (somber piano music)

- Penny for your thoughts.

- Money couldn't buy them.

- How old are you, Miss Mary?

- A gentleman never asks a lady her age.

- Why?

- Because that's the way it is.

- I still want to know.

- My precious boy.

I'm as old as the hills. (sighs)

- I'm not your precious boy.

- Oh yes you are.

(somber piano music)

(knocking on door) - Miss Mary! Miss Mary!

Miss Mary!

- What is it now?

- Carolina's dying.

- Oh, dear.

- What's going on?

- It's none in your business, go to bed.

- [Carolina] Every month this will happen?

- [Mary] Unless you have a baby.

Now you are a woman, Caroline.

- You mean she's going to have a baby?

- No, I mean that now she is able to have a baby.

- [Teresa] When?

- You grow up and get married.

- What happens when I marry?

Well, you see, you have little eggs inside your body

and men have little pockets with seeds in them.

Tiny, tiny, tiny little seeds.

- Where?

- Between their legs.

And when they get married they

drop those seeds into their wife's body

and the seed meets the egg, and the egg grows.

- Inside my body?

- Not in yours, in mine.

How does the seed get there?

- Never mind Caroline, you'll find that all out

when you get married.

- Miss Mary, do you mean to say my father

did that to my mother?

- [Mary] You wouldn't be here otherwise, dear.

- No wonder Mother's always crying.

I'm never going to marry.

I'm never going to be a woman.

- I'm happy to be one.

I'm proud.

Let's celebrate.

Let's have a party.

- Never. You are not to talk about this.

- Why? - Because you are not to.

This is a secret amongst women.

- But why?

- Alright, Caroline, come to bed.

Oh, don't jump like that.

Just try to keep quiet. (Caroline giggling)

Arms down the side of your body.

Knees down, keep the circulation going.

There, you'll be alright.

- I'm not feeling bad.

- Never mind, you have to stay in bed for three days.

No riding, no swimming and no washing your hair for a week.

- But why?

- Because you are unwell.

- (laughing) I'm not.

- Yes you are, and don't argue about it.

Good night dear.

(upbeat music)

Caroline, what's the name of that bird?

Can you see that bird on the side of the tree there?

Just over there?

(Caroline speaking in Spanish)

in English.

- I don't know.

- Woodpecker, don't you remember?

Woodpecker. - Woodpecker.

So pretty.

- [Teresa] Miss Mary, may I have a sandwich?

- [Mary] Oh yes, you can have as many as you want today.

- Away with boys, away.

- Come on Johnny, this is a private party, for ladies only.

- And for special men.

- I'm special.

- No you are not. You have no seeds.

- Caroline, that will do.

(Caroline laughs)

He's a special man.

(children laughing)

- The party is over.

Come here, Caroline.

Hands out. Hands.

Knuckles up.

- [Mecha] She's done it on purpose. That pushy woman.

- She's our neighbor, Mecha.

We can't do this to her.

- [Mecha] Nobody invited her.

- You are organizing this and-

- She came for her first communion.

- [Alfredo] She came to bring the children

from her estancia.

- Her estancia at the moment.

Pacheco's sons are going to sue her.

- And they're going to lose.

- Smile Mecha, please.

(bright accordion music) (children laughing)

- Go on, say it.

- Grandpapa?

Grandpapa?

(Teresa speaking in Spanish)

(utensil rattles) (children giggling)

- What did you just say, Terry?

- Miss Mary, where is Monte Carlo?

- In the south of France, why?

- Because that's where grandpapa became poor.

- Oh, elbows off the table.

- (sighs) He was so stingy, the poor thing.

He didn't like to be that way.

But you see he couldn't help it.

One morning he comes and gives me a pile of money.

"What's this?" I ask him.

"It's for you, buy yourself something nice."

He tells me.

"And even if I myself ask you for it back," he says,

"don't give it to me."

All right, I told him.

That night there he is.

"Give me back the money." (laughs)

What?

"My daughter has to have an urgent operation."

You are lying, Pacheco. (chuckles)

I won't give it back to you.

Oh, he got mad. He had a fit.

Called me all sorts of names.

So I gave him back his money and he left.

A short while later,

there he is again, angrier than ever

with the money in his hand.

Why did you give it back?

Didn't I tell you not to?

You want me to be a miser all my life?

And he left with all the money.

(all laughing)

- What did she say?

(Alfredo laughing)

What did she say?

- Nothing.

- I loved him.

- How old are you Miss Mary?

- Ask no questions and you'll get no lies.

(server speaking Spanish)

Two, please.

- You could say "dos, por favor."

You could learn speak to Spanish right now.

- Nonsense, that's the strength for the British Empire,

even Cipriano is learning to speak English.

Thank you.

(wagons creaking)

(upbeat music) (people speaking in Spanish)

(band playing upbeat music)

(man speaking in Spanish)

- What's he saying?

- [Carolina] He's trying to say-

- [Johnny] He says he wants to dance with you.

- Oh! (man speaking in Spanish)

(Johnny and Caroline laughing)

(band playing upbeat music)

Oh, if only they could see me at home.

(band playing upbeat music)

(Mary gasps)

(Mary laughing)

Hands off, you native.

(organ playing Wedding March)

My little Terry, how lovely you look.

May God bless you.

(Wedding March continues)

They're all alike.

These senoras with their sad painted faces.

So arrogant and so helpless.

What a waste.

(somber piano music)

- [Girl Doll] Am I pretty Miss Mary?

- [Mary Doll] Stop looking at yourself in the mirror

or you'll end up by seeing devil.

- [Girl Doll] Are you pretty Miss Mary?

- [Mary Doll] That's unimportant. What matters is the mind.

- [Girl Doll] Have you ever been in love Miss Mary?

- [Mary Doll] Yes, of course. May times.

- Oh Caroline, that's not fair, I never told you that.

- [Girl Doll] And who's the soldier in the picture

you keep in your trunk?

- [Mary Doll] Oh he's-

- May I ask you, young lady,

what you were doing prying in my room?

- [Girl Doll] Johnny told me about that picture.

- Johnny.

- Did you love the soldier?

- Yes I did.

- Why didn't you marry him?

- Because he never came back from the war.

- Was he killed?

- I don't know.

- [Mary Doll] Enough questions, young ladies.

We're just on time for some homemade (indistinct).

- Oh, Miss Mary, you shouldn't.

Not just before supper.

(somber piano music)

- Now, a firm tap.

(billiard balls clack)

(Perla laughing)

Thanks.

Okay, try again.

Now, let me show you.

- Oh yes, yes, yes.

- Your eyes must be level with the table.

(Ernesto chuckles)

Take a good hold of it.

A firm tap now. - Yes.

(billiard balls clack)

- Excellent. - Oh.

(both laughing)

- You see it's not very difficult.

- Yes. - Try again.

- Wait.

- Yes.

(Alfredo clears throat)

- Uncle Ernesto?

Uncle Ernesto.

- What is it?

- Bad news.

The radio said that Lugones is dead.

They're saying he committed suicide.

I thought I had to tell you.

- Excuse me.

- Ghastly, isn't it?

Who is Lugones? (laughing)

- (laughing) He's a good poet, but with no sense of humor.

He thought General Uriburu was a hero.

He started messing in politics and that's no job

for a delicate soul.

Your eyes level with the table.

(crickets chirping)

(animals chittering)

(cue striking) (billiard balls clacking)

(Alfredo breathing heavily)

(gun firing) (glass shattering)

- Mecha! Mecha! (Mecha crying)

I'm going to kill him!

I want to kill him, leave me!

(Mecha shouting and crying)

- It's alright. There's nothing to fear.

It's alright. There's just been an accident.

It's alright.

- No it wasn't. It's the mafia.

They're coming to kidnap me.

- Enough. Enough, Caroline.

- [Teresa] Mum is crying.

- Yes, darling, she's crying because she's nervous.

She's nervous Because of the accident.

- Maybe she's gone crazy.

- You shut up.

- Miss Mary, do you think my family's mad?

Do you believe we have too much money?

(somber piano music)

(thunder rumbling)

(fly buzzing)

- I believe we made it, nurse.

Brush.

We made it, nurse.

- Oh Doctor, you're a genius.

I'm so proud of you.

- I did nothing but my duty.

- Oh, doctor I, I would like to say...

- Yes, nurse Terry?

- Well, you know I'm so...

- Oh, nurse Terry.

- Oh, doctor.

(children giggling)

- What on earth are you doing?

- I'm Robert Taylor and she's Loretta Young. We are in love.

- You are not to kiss on the mouth.

- [Teresa] Why?

- Because it's unhealthy.

And you are not to play with flies.

- Why?

- [Mary] Because it's also unhealthy.

(fly swatter smacks)

(somber piano music)

- Has President Ortiz been sworn in yet?

- Yes. Mother.

- What?

- [Alfredo] Yes, mother.

He's sworn in.

- About time. We've had enough of that socialist.

- No mother.

The socialist was Juan B. Justo.

And he died long ago.

The last president was Augustine P. Justo.

- Exactly, a socialist.

It's unheard of.

- Aren't you going to eat anything?

(birds squawking)

- She's going to the little crying room.

- How do you know?

- I saw her yesterday-

- Little girls should be seen and not heard.

- What's socialist?

- In England, we call them robbers.

Now Terry, sit up straight.

(thunder rumbling) (rain pattering)

(organ playing wedding music)

(people chanting)

Who are these people?

Where are they all coming from?

(Johnny speaking in Spanish)

Why don't you speak to me in English?

- Because when I speak in English, I feel like an actor.

- And when you speak in Spanish?

- When I speak in Spanish too.

Mother told us you'd returned to England.

- Well, I didn't.

I like Buenos Aires, so.

It's so clean and so peaceful and so,

so far away from that dreadful bombing.

- And I was so worried about you all during the war.

- Well go on. Go on about Terry, but in English.

- Well, one day, one stupid day

on a stupid yacht, something stupid happened.

Damn party was supervised by a bunch of chaperones.

Friends of my mother.

(jazz music)

- Oh, how could you! This is outrageous.

In my own yacht, get out of here.

Get out of here at once, you hear me?

Get out! In my very own yacht.

Come back immediately!

(water splashes)

Terry, come back!

How dare you, under my very nose! This is a scandal.

Wait 'til I tell your mother. Come back!

Come back at once.

Terry. Terry!

(dramatic music)

(typewriter clacking)

(door clicks)

- Carolina.

I did it.

- What?

- I'm no longer a virgin. (giggles)

I slept with Toribio.

- Is it nice?

- I don't know.

- Where's Terry?

- So you know, quick service.

- You prefer father to know?

- Terry doesn't love Toribio.

- I don't care. Where is she?

(typewriter clacking)

What are you doing?

- I'm copying the phone book.

(typewriter dings)

The psychiatrist told me it would do me lots of good.

(swords clanging)

- Wait till I go and change.

- I'm in a hurry.

And you know what I've come for.

- You needn't have bothered.

I know exactly what I'm supposed to do.

- Then do it.

I'm still asking myself, whose name was I trying to protect?

Whose honor?

- Nonsense. You did your duty as the eldest brother.

Remember who you are.

- You talk like my father.

- Yes.

Was he very angry?

- He's never very angry.

He doesn't have to be.

- What about Peron? Isn't he angry with Peron?

- Not even with him.

- So what does he have to say about this rabble rouser?

- He says we made a terrible mistake

when we defeated the British army.

- The British Army, defeated? Here?

- Yes. Twice.

1806. 1807.

(Mary laughing)

- Oh, Johnny, stop pulling my leg.

- I'm serious.

If we hadn't defeated the English,

we now would be an ex-British colony.

- I don't see the advantage, sir.

- Can you imagine Peron in Canada?

- Must we talk about this fellow every day?

- You think it best to ignore the danger?

- The best way to end that danger

is to negotiate with Peron.

- Never, that would be treason.

- Have no fear, Toribio.

We are not that smart.

We are going to fight him.

(band playing jazz music)

- Your attention, please.

Please.

I have wonderful news for all of you,

especially for his excellency, the British ambassador.

Our dear friend, Sir David Kelly.

(crowd applauding)

- Thank you.

- I want to tell you that thanks

to your generous contributions this evening,

we have collected sufficient funds

for us to buy two ambulances,

fully equipped for the field hospital of the British Army.

(crowd applauding)

- Thanks.

- I have something here for you.

(Sir Kelly laughing)

(crowd laughing and applauding)

Isn't he lovely? - Very funny.

- It looks like you.

(band playing jazz music) (crowd chattering)

- Can you take me home? I want to leave.

- Why don't you stay a little while longer?

This is just beginning.

- Will you take me or won't you?

- [Johnny] Excuse us, please.

- Oh, sorry, so sorry.

- Don't touch a thing.

Go away.

(car rumbling)

(drawers rattling)

- The key.

The key.

(dramatic music)

(box rattling)

(door closes)

- Do you think my family's mad?

Do you believe we have too much money?

Johnny, please.

Perhaps Caroline was right. Maybe it's us that's fucked up.

- Johnny, I'm ashamed of you.

A young officer using words like that.

What are you smiling at?

- You sound like a governess.

I like it.

- I don't want you talking about your family like that.

Caroline is sick, it's true, but she's seeing a doctor

and she'll soon be as healthy as she was before.

You have a pretty wife and you'll someday

have some wonderful children.

And Terry made a beautiful bride.

- [Johnny] May I come in?

(man speaking French)

- [Carolina] Come in.

- [Johnny] You look beautiful.

- [Terry] I don't want to get married.

- Would you wait outside for a moment please?

(man speaking French)

- Please.

(man speaking French)

- What's wrong, Terry?

- Didn't you hear her?

- I don't want to get married.

- You're just nervous.

- I don't want to get married.

- Come on Johnny.

Bring the car around the back door

and we'll go out the balcony

and the three of us go far away.

- Stop talking nonsense, Carolina.

Everything's going to be all right.

Toribio is a good fellow.

And you've received more than a thousand presents.

You can't do this to people.

- I'm not going to the church.

- [Johnny] Carolina.

- I'm not.

- Carolina, come here. Carolina.

- [Carolina] I'm not going.

- [Johnny] Carolina.

Carolina. - I'm not.

I'm not going.

- Doesn't she have a young man?

Doesn't Caroline have a nice young man

who can look after her?

- She can choose anyone she wants, but she drives them away.

She talks to them with such strange words.

They can't understand her.

What does she want?

(banging on door)

- What the hell do you want?

If Caroline wants to stay, let her stay.

If she wants to stay forever, let her stay forever.

- Excuse me, the bishop is waiting.

- We're coming.

- What if I spoke to her?

- Tell that woman to shut up.

- That woman is my wife, Mecha.

- Precisely. Have her shut up.

- Tell your sister that if she didn't wear glasses,

I'd slap her. - Perla, please.

- What did she say?

- Carolina?

Carolina.

(dramatic music) (typewriter clacking)

- [Mary] Caroline.

Caroline!

(Carolina giggling)

Caroline, come along.

You'll be late for your brother's party.

- [Carolina] Just a minute, Miss Mary.

- [Mary] What are you doing, child?

- I'm thinking of things! (laughing)

(upbeat jazz music) (shoes tapping)

(music stops)

- Excuse me, my darlings.

It's very nice.

I'm sorry, but Johnny and I have to go.

- I want to go too.

- Don't talk nonsense, Carolina.

- [Carolina] Why can't I go?

- Won't you give me a kiss before you go?

(crickets chirping)

- (clapping) Come along girls, the show's over.

Time to go to bed.

- Just you wait. When I grow up, I'm going to be a spy.

- [Mary] Caroline.

- Who is it?

Who is it?

And why couldn't you knock?

What's wrong, Johnny?

What's wrong?

- It's raining.

- Yes, I know it's raining.

So you go to your room, you take off your wet clothes,

get into bed.

Well, why are you just standing there?

You're going to catch your death of cold.

All right, turn around.

Turn around, please.

Johnny, what has happened?

Take off your shirt.

(sighs) Well you could do this yourself.

It's unbelievable, you're not a little boy anymore.

You shouldn't need any help.

- I need you.

- How did you get yourself in such a mess?

- Miss Mary?

- What?

- Miss Mary, I love you.

- Be quiet please.

(thunder rumbling)

Johnny.

(Mary crying)

- What, Ernesto isn't with you?

Hold on, I'll go and see.

(footsteps slapping)

Hurry up, children.

Come on.

(whip cracks)

(carriage rattling)

(birds chirping)

(Mary sobbing)

(cows mooing)

Don't you dare move til I get back.

- What's the matter?

- How should I know?

- What's the problem Mecha?

- I won't have the children set eyes on her again.

- Ah, that's the problem.

- [Mecha] Alfredo?

- [Alfredo] No, no, not that heifer.

- Alfredo!

Do you hear me Alfredo?

- Wouldn't you wait til I finish with this?

Anyway, Johnny's now a man.

- How can you say such a thing? You should be ashamed.

- Well, if you're in such a rush, go do it yourself.

- I don't want to see her again in my life.

(cows mooing)

Oh no. Miss Mary, you are not leaving.

You are dismissed.

- [Mary] What difference does it make?

- How could you? Have you no shame?

- Yes, I have.

What more? Do you want to see me crying?

All right? (crying)

- [Teresa] Mama, let me out, mama!

(kicking and banging door)

Mama, let me out, please open the door.

Miss Mary!

(Teresa and Carolina crying)

Miss Mary, come please.

(fists banging) Open the door!

Mama! (crying)

Miss Mary! (rattling door)

Mama, let me out! Mama!

Miss Mary!

Miss Mary!

(clock ticking)

- Penny for your thoughts?

- Money wouldn't buy them.

Why did you ask me to come?

- Because I'm leaving.

The war's over, the British soldiers are going home.

So is old Miss Mary.

- You'll never be old.

- Thank you for the compliment.

- It's not a compliment.

- I wanted to say goodbye.

I didn't think you'd come.

- How could I refuse to come?

I have no regrets.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- I'm talking about the storm, about rain.

- It's not raining, Johnny.
