Hello, Em

Hello, Fred.

I think you'll like me in
this dress when it's done.

Oh, have you broken your umbrella?

I made you steak and
kidney pudding for tonight.

And I was wondering whether
you'd like to stay in

and listen to the wireless,

or go out to the pictures?

Mr. Baker
will give his 12th talk

on accountancy in three minutes.

The pictures then, dear?

Damn the pictures and the
wireless and the office!

I want some life! Life, I tell you!

Like that.

What you want, dear, is
some little liver pills

and some fruit torte.

I don't want any pills.

I want some of the good things from life.

Money.

Why should you be able
to spend less on yourself

than some women do on
their rotten poodles?

Why shouldn't you have a
hairdresser and a lady's maid?

Why, Fred? I never expect those things.

No, that's just it.

The good little women like
you don't want enough.

Get out of there!

I think the best place
for us is a gas oven.

Fred!

To talk about gas ovens when
we've a roof over our heads.

Food, beds, oh, and lots of things.

Is that the post?

Oh, let it be the gas bill.

Serves you jolly well right if it is,

talking about gas ovens.

-Oh, thanks.
-Have you left

everything ready for me
outside, Mrs. Porter?

-Yes, ma'am.
-Thank you.

-Good night.
-Good night, ma'am.

-Good night, sir.
-Good night, Mrs. Porter.

Is it the income tax?

Em! Quick, look.

Oh.

See this, Em?

Now you can have some real clothes.

Oh! My new dress!

Hurry up, old man,
we'll be late for the office.

You know, Em, I always got into the sea.

I hear it's a
bit rough in the channel.

Hello. We're off.

Come on, Em. Let's take a snap.

I say, Em, I think I'll pop
down and get you some sick,

I, I mean, magazines.

God!

Yeah, but...

Oh, my God. The curtain's
gone up too soon.

They're not dressed! I mean...

Oh, let's get out of
here. I don't like it.

Why not?

Well, somebody just pinched me.

Where?

You know where.

You leave it to me.

So long, folks. See you tomorrow.

-Have a safe trip now.
-So long.

What's in that parcel, Fred?

For you.

Whoo! I couldn't wear this.

People will think we aren't married.

Don't feel a bit as if we are.

One of the sailors told me

-it was a bit rough outside.
-Yes, I heard that too.

I say, Em.

I think I'll go down to the cabin and, um,

I mean, you know,

to see if everything's all right.

All right, Fred.

Oh, pardon me.

Oh, hello, commander.

Hey, how do you do, Miss Emory?

Are we going to have a
lot of fun and mischief?

-Well, I hope so.
-Yes, I hope so too.

We're not off yet.

-No?
-Just about that much.

Yeah.

It's a marvelous night, isn't it?

Yes, isn't it?

Is your husband feeling better?

Oh, yes, he's much better.

He's really a very good sailor,

but he's not used to it.

Yes.

Oh, Commander Gordon,
aren't you coming down?

We're all waiting for you.

Do you mind if I have
one more pipe in peace?

-Oh!
-Oh!

You know,
these bright young people

make one feel awfully old at times.

I like to see people
enjoying themselves.

-Come in.
-How do we go now, sir?

Would you like to try a little something?

Ask my wife, if you would.

Very good, sir.

Hurry up old man,
we'll be late for the office.

You know Em, I've
always got into the sea.

I hear it's a
bit rough in the channel.

Hello, we're off.

May I draw on this?

Huh?

Yes, if you want to.

You're the quaintest person, really.

Why do you say that?

I don't know. You're delicious.

I could sit and listen
to you all the afternoon.

You're laughing at me.

No, no, I'm not, really.

Funny you should say that,
because I always find it

so difficult to talk to people.

-Do you?
-Yes.

But not to you. I find it quite easy,

much easier than I could to my husband.

-Do you know-
-I should bet a wager

-I beg your pardon.
-Oh, no.

Oh, please, I didn't mean to interrupt.

-Goon.
-Well,

what I was saying was, you know,

I couldn't understand it at first,

but now I think I know why it is.

-Oh, why?
-Well, you see,

you're just a man and not my husband.

-Hmm?
-And if you get

bored with me, all you've
got to do is to get up

and go away and it doesn't matter.

Yes, but it would matter very much.

Have you ever been in love, Mr. Gordon?

No, I can't say that I have.

-That's a pity.
-Worst luck.

That's a pity. Because it's
difficult for you to understand.

You see, I love Fred and he loves me.

And naturally, I want
him to think well of me.

-Yes, right.
-When I talk to him,

I'm always so frightened of
saying something foolish.

You see, he's terribly clever.

And I'm not, eh?

No.

Oh, I think you're
interesting and amusing.

And you like the things
that I like, but...

-Yes.
-Well that doesn't take

-much doing, does it?
-No, I suppose not.

No, I don't think you're clever.

No, I supposed I'm not really.

I say, it's a very lucky thing that, uh,

we're not in love, isn't it?

Yes. Isn't it?

Love is a very difficult
business, Mr. Gordon.

You'd be surprised.

It makes everything
difficult and dangerous.

You know, I don't think
love makes people brave

like they say it does in books.

I think it makes them timid.

I think it makes them
frightened when they're happy

and sadder when they're sad.

You see, everything's multiplied by two,

sickness, death, the future.

It all means so much more.

Oh, I'm afraid I haven't
made myself very clear.

-Yes, you have been clear.
-You see,

love's a wonderful thing, Mr. Gordon.

Yes.

The kind of love that
you're describing must be.

You know, I think
I shall have to try it.

You must. You're just cut out for it.

But do be sure and get the right girl.

It would be a crime if you were wasted.

Mrs. Hill, will you
give me an honest answer

-to a straight question?
-Why, yes.

Are you trying to pull my leg?

Pull your leg?

I don't quite know why I said that.

It's rather foolish of me.

-Forgive me, will you?
-Oh, yes, of course.

What I was searching to say. I mean...

Hello, Gordon!

-Why, hello, colonel.
-Oh, and, um,

this I presume is Mrs. Gordon.

-Oh, there you are.
-Now, come along, colonel.

You distinctly promised
me you wouldn't run away.

I want you to
help me feed the seagulls.

If you come along with me, colonel.

-There you are.
-Oh,

No, no, commander, no.

If I may intrude for just
a teeny weenie second.

It's just struck me, I have the very thing

for your poor dear husband.

That's very kind of you.

I have a
perfectly marvelous plaster.

You just put one on and the effects?

Magical.

-But what do you-
-There's one on the, uh,

well, next to the skin.

I guarantee he'll be up tomorrow.

I really do. I guarantee it.

-Thank you so much.
-Oh, it's nothing.

I really only carry them for
the benefit of the less fortunate.

Don't you think the world
would be a better place,

commander, if we all did that
sort of thing a little more often?

Yes, I suppose so.

I'm afraid I don't bother
very much about other people.

I don't believe it. No,
no. I don't believe it.

Shall I fetch the plasters later on?

What? Oh, yes, yes.

Now, commander, what
about a four at bridge?

I'm afraid not. I promised
to take Mrs. Hill for a stroll.

If you'll excuse me. Good night.

What a perfect gentle
knight you are, commander.

Good evening.

Like to see a ship we
were once passengers in?

Oh, Gordon.

I, I called you Gordon.

Why, that's a Christian name, too.

Yes. I liked it.

It sounded kind of friendly.

The "Mister" got lost
out here, didn't it?

And I'm glad. Let it stay lost.

It's rather good, eh? Gordon.

Just, just one bloke to another.

Oh! I feel quite dizzy.

Let's get back.

Ah! Well, upon my soul,

I've been looking for you everywhere,

when you were here all the time.

Behold, the wonder worker.

-Thank you.
-And tomorrow

your husband will be up and
looking after you again.

But poor Commander Gordon will be left

right into the background.

There, there. I'm only joking.

You like my high spirits? Isn't that fun?

Well, I must be going.

Good evening.

Well, I suppose I better
be saying good night, too.

Is it all right?

Yes. From the office.

What's for dinner, Em?

Steak and kidney pudding?

What, again?

Every other night it's
steak and the pudding.

Gosh, Em, I'm feeling fine.

I say, Em, these deck
games look good to me.

Yes.

Ooh!

Oh, I'm most terribly sorry.

I say, damn it! You
ought to be more careful.

I mean, might have knocked my eye out.

They ought to have a rope
round here or something.

-I mean...
-I say, old man.

No need to go on like that.

It was quite an accident.

The princess couldn't help it.

Don't be angry with him.

I am not offended.

Get down. You'll fall.

Ah, Fred.

How love...

Ah, my Devin.

-Ah, you'll stay here?
-Yes.

Well don't run away without me.

No.

Have you seen the colonel?

-No':
-No?

Oh, you're here. He's there all the time.

Now, colonel, don't forget you're
coming with me to buy my carpet.

What? Oh, yes.

Yes, you'd better come now, I think.

Good morning.

Don't forget you're coming with
me to buy my carpet, will you?

Fred, isn't it lovely?

Em, I shouldn't take that with you.

It makes you look like a tourist.

To think that place has
been there all these years.

All those strange people,
having their babies,

dying, cooking their funny meals.

Strange. It's been there all these years.

Well you don't think they built it
especially for us overnight, do you?

Well, you needn't snap my head off.

That's the third time you've spoken to me

-like that since yesterday.
-I'm sorry.

Ah, Emily!

Oh, your husband. He looks so good.

Don't he?

-Anyone going ashore?
-What?

-Oh yes, well.
-Oh come, let's us go.

Hello. Aren't you going ashore?

Yes.

Well, there's not too much time.

-May I carry that for you?
-Come on!

Em, are you coming bathing
with the princess and me?

No, I'm staying with Miss
Emory to buy her carpet.

Oh but my dear, really,
that's quite all right.

I don't mind.

Driver, you're a good
man. Now you drive safe.

Oh.

Yes, we all will.

Yes, I like this. I
think I'll take this one.

Have a question?

Come on.

-Be careful, yeah?
-Funny, that.

Thank you.

There now, Mr. Gordon.

You'll carry this for me, I'm su...

No. He's gone.

Well, colonel, you can carry it.

Hmm. Good eve...

Good morning.

Shall we go?

Fred may be looking for me.

Yes, I suppose we'd better.

Our little twin beds, huh?

Oh! My poor heart.

You make it jump. You feel?

Cabin number 19.

No, no, no. Not right away.

You must be what you call discreet.

You go have your promised dance

with the, um, gossip woman.

Then she will not look for you. Hmm?

Cabin number 19.

Good evening.

Don't you think my shepherdess
costume makes me look young?

Yes.

How old?

19.

Whoo!

Good evening.

Can I get you an ice?

Oh, yes, please do.

Thank you.

Girl!

I'm drunk.

-No, you're not.
-I am.

Admit it.

If you are, I am, too.

Yes.

Hello, Em.

-Hi, Gordon.
-Hello.

Sit down. I'm tight.

What are you gonna have?

All right. I'll get you something.

Steward.

Oh, hello, Fred.

Hello.

Hello, Emily.

Oh, no, no, no. I sit there.

Oh.

-Why, hello, princess.
-What will you have?

Oh, I think, um, a brandy and soda.

-Brandy and soda?
-Mm-hmm.

Oh, steward, a brandy
and soda as well, please.

Have you a cigarette, Fred?

Yes, I think.

Ah, what do you want, a cigarette?

-Please.
-I have one.

-There you are.
-Thank you.

It's a gorgeous night outside.

-Perfect for lovers.
-Oh, dear.

Oh, have you seen my
husband anywhere about?

I think he went ashore
with the princess, madam.

♪ He was bloody broke ♪

♪ Now I have to keep the baby ♪
♪ Time to give the day ♪

♪ My wife won't ♪

♪ Won't let me ♪

Well, uh...

Why not let me show you around town, eh?

All right, I'd be delighted.

-Hey, Quartermaster.
-Yes, sir?

When's there a boat
leaving again for shore?

There's one going in five minutes.

-Five minutes, shall we?
-All right.

You've been thinking.

Oh, I'm as much at sea as ever.

It's a bewildering business, this,

this being at sea.

But on the night of the carnival,

I knew that Fred and the princess were,

were drunk, too.

Compared with them, we
were a pair of sober sods.

But I can't feel sorry.

About them?

About us.

Tell me, Fred, have you not a regret

for treating Emily so?

Well, I wouldn't be
human if I had no regrets.

Naturally, I feel for her.

I'd be a pretty poor
sort of fish if I didn't.

Of course, she's fond of me I know.

I suppose we were happy enough

in our own quiet little way

until we came on this trip and I met you.

After that, of course, it was all out.

I mean, how can I be expected
to love Emily when I,

when I love you?

Water is a good drink, but champagne,

he is better, yes?

That's it. That's it.

And having developed
a taste for champagne,

what's the use of trying
to stick to water?

Oh, well, maybe she will find someone

who is nearer her own level.

Yes. She'll probably be much happier.

Of course, you know, she
never really understood me.

I was a bit too much for her.

Like to see a ship we
were once passengers in?

It's running away from us now.

Em, is it going to be this?

You are going to let me take
care of you, aren't you?

Oh, I don't know.

Let me make this figure real.

After all, you know, you drew it.

Isn't it marvelous to
think that after tonight

we should always be together?

Yes.

But don't forget, Fred.

Tomorrow when we go ashore,

I must get off alone.

Oh, yes.

-My hand.
-Sorry.

But I can't help feeling
a bit worried about Em.

I hope she'll be all right.

-Fred.
-Hmm?

If a woman can't hold her man,

there's no reason why he
should take the blame.

No. I suppose you're right.

-You always are.
-Oh.

Shall we go inside?

Al right.

-Hip-hip!
-Hooray!

-Hip-hip!
-Hooray!

Hip-hip!

Hooray.

I've seen it all along.

Look at the way you made
yourself an absolute slave to him.

Anyway, I'll be able
to make you happy now.

You wouldn't go back to
that dull life again.

Fred may have to go back.

Oh, he's fickle.

If he were a man, I'd feel ashamed.

As it is, I frown for him.

Bluff. Empty shirt.

-Hmm.
-Gordon.

It used to make my heart
ache to hear you worship

that overgrown sham,

the way you kowtowed to him.

He was just a great baby
masquerading as a big, strong man.

I've held my tongue, because I hadn't

the heart to open your dear eyes.

But now, you're not his wife anymore.

Yet a princess fell in love with him.

Yes.

Do you know why Fred
succeeded so admirably

with her royal highness?

Because she's not a princess.

She's just a common adventuress

and he was the biggest ass aboard.

She set her trap and caught him.

Why didn't you warn him?

Much good that would've
done, sweetheart.

You can't teach the Freds of this world.

What'll happen to him?

I don't know, and I don't care.

When she's spent all his money,
she'll drop him like a hot brick.

Then he can come to his senses.

Alone.

It's not our business, sweetheart.

We've got to forget him.

But don't you see, I can't, Gordon.

A wife's more than half a mother.

And I've been married to
him for over eight years.

It's a long time, you know that?

Oh, think what it means, Gordon.

I hate to.

No, Gordon. I can't!

Ask him to stop.

Fred, I've been down to make certain,

she has gone.

Well that must be the bill I sent for.

Come in.

Oh, uh, wait there.

Put the bill on the table there.

Fred?

Oh, how...

Perhaps you would wish to
speak alone with Fred? Eh?

I will wait downstairs for you, Fred. Yes?

Uh, I'll go and get a shirt.

Thank you, princess.

You did not go with him.

You little fool. You damn little fool.

I was, um, I was just fixing up

to go bathing with the princess.

You don't want to come, do you?

I suppose you'll be going
somewhere with Gordon.

He's gone.

-He's what?
-He's gone to his home.

Up country.

Oh, fancy that.

He wanted to take me with him.

-What's that?
-He loves me.

And how far has this thing gone?

Oh! Fred, don't start
play acting over this.

It'll only make things worse.

Oh, play, huh! Sorry state of affairs.

Yes, yes, Fred! Let's
take all that as said!

I'd have gone with him if
it hadn't been for you.

-Me?
-He'd have made me happier.

-But dear, you've no right!
-When I said I would,

he started to show me you as
the outside world sees you.

Not as I've seen you, blinded by love

and all this long time together.

Don't, you're mad!

Yes, I was to have missed my chance.

But after what he said...

Oh, come in!

-Would you like to-
-Get out of here!

Well, what did he say then?

Just the truth, Fred.

He said you were a sham,
nothing but a bluff.

I'll smash him to bits, is what I'll do.

He wouldn't have any fear of you, dear.

He knows you're just a great big coward.

Well, if you thought
so much of him to listen

to all his dirty lies about me,

why the devil didn't you go with him?

Because I recognized your faults.

Whereas, before I'd always dressed you up

in all kinds of silly virtues.

Oh, very much obliged, I'm sure.

I saw that I was a wife for you.

That without me, you'd be lost.

I couldn't allow that.

It wouldn't be right, would it?

Oh, not right, eh?

Oh, very kind of you, I'm sure.

And do you think that after
the way you've behaved

I suggest that if you
want to get this thing

straightened out and not wreck everything

through the, this trip,

you've got to do something about this.

Well, what's that?

She's a sham, too.

You don't tell me.

Is anybody or anything real then?

And in what way is the princess a sham,

if it's not troubling you too much?

She's not a princess at all.

Because she's just a
common, cheap adventuress.

And she only threw her hat at you because

you were the one man on board

-big enough to-
-Oh, shut up!

-Shut up, damn you!
-It's true!

Shut up, I tell you. Shut up!

I'll shut up when I've
said you think she's a

Shut up!

That's all.

-I'll go to the princess.
-My things can be sent on.

Goodbye.

Just a minute.

Come in.

Thank you.

"Dear,

Knowing you, I accept your verdict.

You have made your choice
and I see the way of it.

I don't know much about love,

how long it lasts or
what the remedies are,

but I love you, Emily.

So much that I can't write anymore,

only blessings and prayers for you.

Don't you dare say, "I told you so."

She...

Caught the train for Rangoon.

But I can't make it out why she would...

Um, do you think that
this has got her...

Give it to me, what do you
mean by hiding my letters?

She's gone.

She was a fraud.

She thanks me for my company and says

her father kept a cleaning shop in Berlin.

That little swine.

Yes! That's what she is.

A swine! To treat you like that.

Oh, I could...

What a fool she's made of me.

What a fool.

Oh, Fred. Poor Fred.

Oh, for god's sake, keep your pity!

But I tell you again, If
you say, "I told you so,"

I'll strangle you I will, I swear I will.

Wish I could strangle her.

And all the time she was
just a rotten streetwalker.

I'll set the police on
her, that's what I'll do.

But you can't. She hasn't done anything.

I mean, not broken any law.

-Well hasn't she just?
-That's all you know.

-Nearly robbed us of £1,000.
-What?

-You would like-
-Get out!

But...

Oh, she told me a pack of lies about
an expected remittance or something.

Anyway, it was only to be a loan.

Well, not a loan exactly because

we were pooling everything we had.

And then there were our
passages to Australia.

Of course, I was gonna see
that you were all right.

I mean, well, you were gonna run away

with your precious Gordon.

-But I didn't.
-Well, did 1?

I wish I'd never come on the trip.

Think of that tart heading for Burma

with a thousand of the best in her pocket,

shoving her fingers to her nose.

How in god's name are we
going to get home, Fred?

Shall we have enough?

Oh, I dare say we have
enough to pay this bill

and a cheap boat home.

Fred! Fred!

-That's all right, darling.
-All hands on deck!

You'll be all right soon.

What's up, Em?

Em, what's happened? We've stopped.

-I don't know, I-
-You must know.

-I don't.
-What is it?

I don't know. I don't.

There was a big bang and something fell.

It hit you on the head.

You'll be fine.

Can't get the damn thing open.

The bolt!

Why can't you open this door, you fool?

Help! Help!

Help! Oh, help!

-Help!
-Help, help!

There go the lights, Em.

Help, help!

Help! Help!

It's no use, Fred.

We can't get out, Em.

We're dying.

Oh, Em, for God's sake.

Fred.

Do you mind very much?

Not now.

I did at first.

I'm, I'm scared, Em.

Em, I'm sorry.

What for, Fred?

There's only been you.

-There's only ever been you.
-Oh, I know, I know.

Fred.

Fred! It's daylight.

Look.

Look at the port hole.

Don't do that. You'll let the sea in.

Be quicker anyway.

Fred, we could have got out last night.

The gangway is just outside.

If only we'd thought.

Oh, I'll go first to
see if it's all right.

Come on, darling.

-Come on.
-All right.

Don't forget, feet first.

Ooh! Ah, ah!

-Ooh, ah.
-Come on.

Ooh!

Ahoy!

Ahoy!

Ooh!

Have they gone?

Don't go sneaking up
to a chap like that.

It's scary enough without
playing funny tricks.

Of course they've gone.

They'll come back, chappy.

Oh, will they?

They'll reckon it's gone down hours ago

instead of floating on like this.

Why did it, Fred?

How the dickens do I know?

The silly things you ask.

What the hell do we do
now? That's the question.

Well, we want a boat
or a raft or something.

You don't tell me.

Fred, hadn't we better go and find

some clothes or something?

Somebody might come.

Yes, that's very likely.

Let's see what's in here.

I'd better give you a hand with these.

-All right?
-Yes.

That's better.

Will Dover.

He sat next to me at dinner.

Let's go.

It's getting on my
nerves. I need a drink.

I know. Let's go down to the bar.

Have an ole brandy. It'll warm us up.

We're gonna move on and
find some way out of this,

make a raft or something.

Fred.

-Here. Listen.
-What?

Do you think it's mad
if I use the gentleman's?

Ours is underwater.

Yes. Go on.

No sense in being suburban.

Listen.

Fred, look!

A Chinese junk.

Hey, let's go.

Give me your hand.

That's right.

Oh!

Uh, good afternoon.

Fred, look! She's going to have a baby.

Seems all right, Em.

Mm! Best meal I've eaten for ages.

Much better than all those
swell meals we had in Paris.

Mm!

I like being shipwrecked.

It's not half as bad as people make out.

Hmm. Nothing ever is.

Why, this is as good as yachting.

Hi!

Dullard dummies, aren't they?

Oh.

Ah, has one bone in it.

Hello. What's the old boy up to?

Help me up, Fred.

Up!

Ooh! Sat on a knot.

I'll tell you one thing, Em.

-What's that?
-Well that ship going down

has done us a bit of
good in a way, you know.

Well, don't you see?

That £1,000 I gave, I lost, well,

well we can say it went
down with the ship.

Why, yes.

And then we'll be able to get some more

and buy some clothes
and things when we land.

Yes. When we land.

Fred. Do you hear that?

It's a baby.

What do you mean?

That woman's had her baby.

-How could she?
-Well, anyway, she has.

Isn't it wonderful.

I'd better go and see if I can help.

Better keep out of it,
Em. They don't want us.

We'd only be in the way.

I suppose.

There, there. Don't cry, Em, old dear.

Why, these darn Chinese
breed like rabbits.

We're all right, Em. We've got each other.

Oh, the poor little mite.

Gosh, isn't it ugly?

You mustn't do that! You mustn't!

No newly born baby could stand it!

Stop it, stop!

-Don't be silly, Em.
-Oh!

How would you like
a Chinaman to tell you

how to manage your baby?

Besides, look how strong it is.

I bet that chap holding it is the father.

See how proud he is of it?

I made a nice steak and kidney pudding,

and I've ordered the papers

and I had the wireless batteries charged.

Have issued
the following gale warning.

Strong northwesterly gales all
coasts of the British Isles.

Rain in most districts,
some hail or sleet locally.

Channel crossings extremely rough.

What are you looking at, Fred?

I was wondering if we could
get a pram down that passage.

But I'm not gonna be here.

-What, why not?
-When you get your new job

as traveler for the firm,

I'm going to a bigger,
better house than this.

Oh, that's absurd. What
do you want to move for?

Well there won't be enough room here.

Oh, I never heard of
anything so ridiculous.

We've been here for all these years.

-What do you want to move for?
-Yes.

That is the very reason why.

Well I'm definitely gonna stay here.

Damned if you do! When I...
