I was first took to see you
when I were but a lass.

187
00:16:10,072 --> 00:16:13,110
I'm sorry
you're poorly.

188
00:16:13,144 --> 00:16:17,079
You were lovely
in The Corsican Brothers.

189
00:16:20,462 --> 00:16:21,463
Sir!

190
00:16:21,497 --> 00:16:22,464
Sir.

191
00:16:22,498 --> 00:16:23,465
Hey...

192
00:16:23,499 --> 00:16:25,950
[SIR YELLING]

193
00:16:27,607 --> 00:16:29,367
[♪♪♪]

194
00:16:40,033 --> 00:16:42,449
[RADIO PLAYING]

195
00:17:39,058 --> 00:17:41,198
WOMAN: What are we
going to do, Norman?

196
00:17:41,232 --> 00:17:43,476
There'll be an audience
in the theater tonight,

197
00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:45,409
hoping to see him
as King Lear.

198
00:17:45,443 --> 00:17:46,927
What are we going
to do?

199
00:17:46,962 --> 00:17:48,826
Don't upset yourself,
for a start.

200
00:17:48,860 --> 00:17:50,276
I've never had
to make

201
00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:52,105
this sort of decision
before--

202
00:17:52,140 --> 00:17:54,418
any sort of decision
before.

203
00:17:54,452 --> 00:17:56,385
I'm glad
I telephoned Madge.

204
00:17:56,420 --> 00:17:57,731
She'll know
what to do.

205
00:17:57,766 --> 00:17:59,319
Oh, yes, Madge will
know what to do.

206
00:17:59,354 --> 00:18:00,803
Madge will be
ever so sensible.

207
00:18:00,838 --> 00:18:04,290
Of course,
stage managers have to be.

208
00:18:10,537 --> 00:18:12,746
I should have
made him rest.

209
00:18:12,781 --> 00:18:13,816
The doctor said

210
00:18:13,851 --> 00:18:15,404
he'd come to
the end of his rope,

211
00:18:15,439 --> 00:18:16,578
and he'd found it
frayed.

212
00:18:16,612 --> 00:18:17,613
Doctors.

213
00:18:17,648 --> 00:18:19,201
Just imagine trying
to explain to a doctor

214
00:18:19,236 --> 00:18:20,927
what Sir's been through.

215
00:18:20,961 --> 00:18:21,928
"Well, you see, Doctor,

216
00:18:21,962 --> 00:18:23,343
"he's been trying
to recruit actors

217
00:18:23,378 --> 00:18:25,207
"for his Shakespearean
company,

218
00:18:25,242 --> 00:18:26,588
"but all
the able-bodied

219
00:18:26,622 --> 00:18:28,141
"and best ones
are in uniform

220
00:18:28,176 --> 00:18:29,660
"and the theaters
are bombed to bits

221
00:18:29,694 --> 00:18:31,213
"as soon
as you book them,

222
00:18:31,248 --> 00:18:33,008
"not to mention
the trouble this week

223
00:18:33,042 --> 00:18:35,010
with Mr. Davenport
Scott."

224
00:18:35,044 --> 00:18:36,045
Doctors.

225
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,875
He'd have had
his hypodermic rampant

226
00:18:37,909 --> 00:18:39,808
before you could say,
"As you like it."

227
00:18:39,842 --> 00:18:42,190
What's the latest with
Mr. Davenport Scott?

228
00:18:42,224 --> 00:18:43,363
If you don't mind,

229
00:18:43,398 --> 00:18:45,607
I'd rather not discuss
Mr. Davenport Scott

230
00:18:45,641 --> 00:18:46,918
with a lady.

231
00:18:46,953 --> 00:18:48,265
I'll tell Madge
all about it

232
00:18:48,299 --> 00:18:50,750
when she comes in.

233
00:18:52,510 --> 00:18:54,823
Now, this won't hurt.

234
00:18:54,857 --> 00:18:56,411
It's just
to make you sleep.

235
00:18:56,445 --> 00:18:58,067
You want to sleep,
don't you?

236
00:18:58,102 --> 00:18:59,241
Sleep?

237
00:18:59,276 --> 00:19:00,346
[LOUDER]
Sleep?

238
00:19:00,380 --> 00:19:02,796
Glamis hath murdered sleep,

239
00:19:02,831 --> 00:19:08,147
and therefore,
Cawdor shall sleep no more!

240
00:19:08,181 --> 00:19:12,875
Macbeth shall sleep no more!

241
00:19:15,084 --> 00:19:16,741
Any further developments?

242
00:19:17,777 --> 00:19:19,227
We'd better see the manager.

243
00:19:19,261 --> 00:19:20,745
Perhaps
you ought to come with me.

244
00:19:20,780 --> 00:19:22,540
No, please, Your Ladyship.

245
00:19:22,575 --> 00:19:23,645
Now, let's not rush things.

246
00:19:23,679 --> 00:19:25,819
There's no alternative.

247
00:19:25,854 --> 00:19:27,752
I'll be in my room.

248
00:19:29,237 --> 00:19:30,548
No, Your Ladyship--

249
00:19:30,583 --> 00:19:31,549
Madge is right.

250
00:19:31,584 --> 00:19:32,792
He's in hospital.

251
00:19:32,826 --> 00:19:34,380
We can't play King Lear
without the King.

252
00:19:34,414 --> 00:19:35,864
We've got to make
a decision.

253
00:19:35,898 --> 00:19:37,106
Forgive me,
Your Ladyship,

254
00:19:37,141 --> 00:19:38,729
it's not a decision
we have to make,

255
00:19:38,763 --> 00:19:39,833
it's the right decision.

256
00:19:39,868 --> 00:19:40,869
Please,
Your Ladyship--

257
00:19:40,903 --> 00:19:41,904
I had a friend,

258
00:19:41,939 --> 00:19:43,078
before one's face
was lined,

259
00:19:43,112 --> 00:19:44,148
as the saying goes,

260
00:19:44,183 --> 00:19:45,667
in a very low state,
he was.

261
00:19:45,701 --> 00:19:48,152
Ever so fragile,
a pain to be with.

262
00:19:48,187 --> 00:19:50,223
Someone close to him,
his mother, I believe,

263
00:19:50,258 --> 00:19:51,569
though
it was never proved,

264
00:19:51,604 --> 00:19:54,227
understandably upset,
made a decision.

265
00:19:54,262 --> 00:19:55,711
A little rest, she said,

266
00:19:55,746 --> 00:19:57,886
among those similarly
"off-center,"

267
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,957
in Colwyn Bay.

268
00:19:59,991 --> 00:20:01,993
Never a good date,
not in February,

269
00:20:02,028 --> 00:20:04,651
wrapped in a gray rug
gazing at the gray sea.

270
00:20:04,686 --> 00:20:06,032
Talk about bleak.

271
00:20:06,066 --> 00:20:07,413
Mother dear
made a decision,

272
00:20:07,447 --> 00:20:08,621
but it was
the wrong decision.

273
00:20:08,655 --> 00:20:10,519
My friend
never acted again.

274
00:20:10,554 --> 00:20:12,280
We have to face the facts.

275
00:20:12,314 --> 00:20:13,798
I've never done that
in my life,

276
00:20:13,833 --> 00:20:15,006
Your Ladyship,

277
00:20:15,041 --> 00:20:16,801
and I don't see
why I should start now.

278
00:20:16,836 --> 00:20:18,217
I just like things
to be lovely.

279
00:20:18,251 --> 00:20:19,218
"No pain,"
that's my motto.

280
00:20:19,252 --> 00:20:20,219
Things aren't lovely, Norman.

281
00:20:20,253 --> 00:20:21,634
No, they aren't,
if you face facts.

282
00:20:21,668 --> 00:20:22,876
Face the facts?

283
00:20:22,911 --> 00:20:24,878
It's facing the company
I worry about, poor lambs.

284
00:20:24,913 --> 00:20:26,535
What will happen to them
and the customers?

285
00:20:26,570 --> 00:20:28,744
It's no good,
Sir talking about

286
00:20:28,779 --> 00:20:29,952
struggle and survival,

287
00:20:29,987 --> 00:20:31,609
if you go and cancel
the performance.

288
00:20:31,644 --> 00:20:32,610
It's a disease.

289
00:20:32,645 --> 00:20:33,611
What is?

290
00:20:33,646 --> 00:20:35,061
Hopefulness.

291
00:20:35,095 --> 00:20:37,857
I think we should
discuss this in private.

292
00:20:40,584 --> 00:20:43,656
MAN:
Norman, Your Ladyship!

293
00:20:43,690 --> 00:20:44,864
Your Ladyship!

294
00:20:47,694 --> 00:20:50,076
I asked him, joking like,
if he had been in a fight.

295
00:20:50,110 --> 00:20:51,388
He said no.

296
00:20:51,422 --> 00:20:52,734
I thought he wanted his key,

297
00:20:52,768 --> 00:20:54,218
but he just
sat down there.

298
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:57,877
Telephone the hospital.

299
00:20:57,911 --> 00:21:00,914
Do not telephone
the hospital.

300
00:21:00,949 --> 00:21:03,158
Get me to my room.
To my room!

301
00:21:03,192 --> 00:21:05,194
I must don my robes.

302
00:21:05,229 --> 00:21:06,920
What are we to do?

303
00:21:06,955 --> 00:21:08,370
Charles,
you help Her Ladyship.

304
00:21:08,405 --> 00:21:09,751
I shan't be a tick.

305
00:21:11,753 --> 00:21:15,274
Well, I don't know
exactly, Mr. Mowbray.

306
00:21:15,308 --> 00:21:19,381
It'll mean giving back
an awful lot of money.

307
00:21:19,416 --> 00:21:22,936
We're full tonight
and Wednesday for Lear.

308
00:21:22,971 --> 00:21:26,043
Richard III
is looking healthy.

309
00:21:26,077 --> 00:21:29,080
Merchant of Venice,
cozy.

310
00:21:29,115 --> 00:21:32,325
As You Like It
is cool.

311
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:34,707
No, he hasn't
got an understudy.

312
00:21:34,741 --> 00:21:36,087
NORMAN:
Mr. Bottomley.

313
00:21:36,122 --> 00:21:38,124
Hold hard, Mr. Bottomley.

314
00:21:38,158 --> 00:21:40,747
King Richard's himself again.

315
00:21:50,481 --> 00:21:53,139
Bonzo,
why are you here?

316
00:21:53,173 --> 00:21:56,107
My name is on the door.

317
00:21:56,142 --> 00:21:57,764
Did the doctor say
you could leave?

318
00:21:57,799 --> 00:21:59,835
I discharged myself.

319
00:21:59,870 --> 00:22:01,872
Oh, cancel
the performance.

320
00:22:01,906 --> 00:22:03,218
I can't.

321
00:22:03,252 --> 00:22:04,323
Mustn't...

322
00:22:04,357 --> 00:22:05,496
won't.

323
00:22:05,531 --> 00:22:07,256
Then take
the consequences.

324
00:22:07,291 --> 00:22:09,293
When have I not?

325
00:22:11,191 --> 00:22:12,641
How is he?

326
00:22:12,676 --> 00:22:14,298
Norman!

327
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:15,334
Sir.

328
00:22:15,368 --> 00:22:16,473
I want you by me.

329
00:22:16,507 --> 00:22:17,474
Yes, Sir.

330
00:22:17,508 --> 00:22:20,062
Don't leave my side.

331
00:22:20,097 --> 00:22:21,167
I shall want help.

332
00:22:21,201 --> 00:22:22,133
Yes, Sir.

333
00:22:27,311 --> 00:22:28,830
Madge, dear.

334
00:22:28,864 --> 00:22:30,694
You speak to him.

335
00:22:30,728 --> 00:22:32,385
He doesn't hear
a word I say.

336
00:22:32,420 --> 00:22:34,767
You look exhausted.

337
00:22:34,801 --> 00:22:37,079
That's what I call tact.

338
00:22:38,391 --> 00:22:39,358
Are you sure

339
00:22:39,392 --> 00:22:40,531
you're able
to go on tonight?

340
00:22:40,566 --> 00:22:41,946
He wouldn't be here
if he wasn't.

341
00:22:41,981 --> 00:22:43,085
Would you, Sir?

342
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:45,502
How long have you been with me,
Madge, dear?

343
00:22:45,536 --> 00:22:47,504
Longer than anyone else.

344
00:22:47,538 --> 00:22:48,608
How long?

345
00:22:48,643 --> 00:22:50,817
Twenty years,
nearly 20 years.

346
00:22:50,852 --> 00:22:52,716
Have I ever
missed a performance?

347
00:22:52,750 --> 00:22:54,442
No, but then,
you've never been ill.

348
00:22:59,412 --> 00:23:01,449
I only want what's best for you.

349
00:23:01,483 --> 00:23:02,864
What's best for Sir

350
00:23:02,898 --> 00:23:06,454
is that he's allowed
to get ready.

351
00:23:06,488 --> 00:23:09,905
Ready... Yes, yes.
I must get ready.

352
00:23:13,944 --> 00:23:15,152
Ready for what?

353
00:23:15,186 --> 00:23:16,395
Excuse me,
Your Ladyship,

354
00:23:16,429 --> 00:23:17,879
but shouldn't you
be getting ready, too?

355
00:23:17,913 --> 00:23:19,708
I can't bear
to see him like that.

356
00:23:19,743 --> 00:23:21,020
Then best to leave us.

357
00:23:21,054 --> 00:23:22,262
I've had experience
of these things.

358
00:23:22,297 --> 00:23:24,023
I know
what has to be done.

359
00:23:24,057 --> 00:23:27,198
Imagine waking to that,
night after night.

360
00:23:32,307 --> 00:23:35,034
My dear,
is he all right?

361
00:23:35,068 --> 00:23:37,416
We hear dreadful rumors.

362
00:23:37,450 --> 00:23:39,314
Surely the performance
is not to be canceled.

363
00:23:39,348 --> 00:23:40,557
No, no, no, no.

364
00:23:40,591 --> 00:23:42,041
He's just
a little tired,

365
00:23:42,075 --> 00:23:43,283

545
00:32:13,172 --> 00:32:16,865
There, now, doesn't that
feel better?

546
00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:18,591
You're back here
in the theater,

547

safe and sound,
where you belong,

548
00:32:21,008 --> 00:32:23,079
and a full house.

549
00:32:23,113 --> 00:32:24,425
Lovely.

550
00:32:24,459 --> 00:32:25,495
Really?

551
00:32:25,529 --> 00:32:26,496
A full house?

552
00:32:26,530 --> 00:32:29,292
They'll be standing
in the gods.

553
00:32:29,326 --> 00:32:31,915
Do you know...
they've bombed

554
00:32:31,950 --> 00:32:34,262
the Grand Theatre,
Plymouth?

555
00:32:34,297 --> 00:32:35,815
And much else
of the city besides.

556
00:32:35,850 --> 00:32:37,369
I made my debut

557
00:32:37,403 --> 00:32:39,026
at the Grand Theatre,
Plymouth.

558
00:32:39,060 --> 00:32:40,993
They weren't to know.

559
00:32:47,517 --> 00:32:50,451
I shouldn't have
come out this spring,

560
00:32:50,485 --> 00:32:52,453

He made me.

Who?

562
00:32:53,488 --> 00:32:54,455
I should have rested.

563
00:32:54,489 --> 00:32:56,284
I had a friend
who was ordered to rest.

564
00:32:56,319 --> 00:32:57,976
He obeyed--
that was the end of him.

565
00:32:58,010 --> 00:32:59,391
He was ever so ill.

566
00:32:59,425 --> 00:33:00,909
Nearly became a Catholic.

Mr. Davenport Scott...

of Davenport Scott?

569

They're keeping him
in the cells.

00:33:10,505 --> 00:33:12,818

immediately.

572

The police have opposed bail.

573

How, then,
do we dispose our forces?

is standing by

576
00:33:20,515 --> 00:33:22,069
And who as Oswald?

577
00:33:22,103 --> 00:33:24,795
Mr. Brown,
I'm afraid.

578
00:33:24,830 --> 00:33:26,935
But that leaves me
a knight short

00:33:26,970 --> 00:33:28,316
for "reason, not the need."

00:33:28,351 --> 00:33:29,421
Well, 98 short,

if you take the text
as gospel,

582

What have I come to?

I've never had a company
like this one.

589
00:33:47,956 --> 00:33:53,617
I've been reduced to old men,
cripples, and nancy-boys.

Herr Hitler has made it
very difficult

It'll be a chapter
in the book, Sir.

I hate
to mention this,

594
00:34:02,488 --> 00:34:04,318
but we're going to be short
for the storm.

595

We have no one,

596
00:34:05,526 --> 00:34:07,769
but no one
to operate the wind machine,

not if Mr. Thornton
is to play Fool.

at full strength.

I'll have a word with him.

I'd better talk

604
00:34:24,890 --> 00:34:26,305
to Thornton, too.

00:34:26,340 --> 00:34:27,306

I'll go tell them
to come see you.

611
00:34:34,727 --> 00:34:35,901
I'll clean the wig
and beard.

a minute.

Please say it's canceled.

617
00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:53,608
he wants to see you

00:34:53,643 --> 00:34:55,886
in the makeup and costume
of Fool just after the half.

Oh, my God.

620
00:34:57,164 --> 00:34:58,924
Are you sure
he's well enough to go on?

621
00:34:58,958 --> 00:35:00,788
He seemed quite deranged.

622
00:35:00,822 --> 00:35:03,204
Sir? Deranged? Never.

I'm not exaggerating.

to Davenport Scott,

to uphold."

00:35:24,018 --> 00:35:27,021
If he wants me
any further downstage,

632
00:35:27,055 --> 00:35:29,541
I shall end up
at the back of the stalls.

you're playing Oswald tonight.

Do you know the lines?

635
00:35:34,201 --> 00:35:35,443
Yes, I do,

636
00:35:35,478 --> 00:35:37,445
so long as he doesn't
hiss at me.

00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,172
I get very quivery

Now, where was I?

640
00:35:45,212 --> 00:35:48,491
Oh, yes.

01:22:51,311 --> 01:22:53,244
When you talk of it,

1439
01:22:53,278 --> 01:22:56,972
say Edmund Kean
and I wore it.

1440
01:23:01,148 --> 01:23:04,013
I once
had it in mind

1441
01:23:04,048 --> 01:23:07,499
to give it to you
years ago,

1442
01:23:07,534 --> 01:23:11,227
but you were younger then.

1443
01:23:11,262 --> 01:23:14,368
I thought
you would misunderstand.

1444
01:23:17,164 --> 01:23:22,342
Yes, a ring from a man
to a woman

1445
01:23:22,376 --> 01:23:26,173
is easily misunderstood.

1446
01:23:26,208 --> 01:23:30,143
I know I'm thought insensitive,

1447
01:23:30,177 --> 01:23:31,799
but I'm not blind.

1448
01:23:31,834 --> 01:23:34,216
No...

1449
01:23:34,250 --> 01:23:37,564
No, I've always known
that you were aware

1450
01:23:37,598 --> 01:23:41,913
of what the spinster
in the corner felt.

1451
01:23:41,947 --> 01:23:47,056
You were right
not to give me a ring years ago.

1452
01:23:47,091 --> 01:23:50,025
I lived in hope then.

1453
01:23:53,373 --> 01:23:56,238
At least I've seen you
every day,

1454
01:23:56,272 --> 01:23:59,689
made myself useful to you.

1455
01:23:59,724 --> 01:24:03,314
I settled for what I could get.

1456
01:24:05,212 --> 01:24:09,182
I've always been aware
of my limitations.

1457
01:24:09,216 --> 01:24:13,013
Speak well of me.

1458
01:24:13,048 --> 01:24:18,018
You are the only one
who really, truly loves me.

1459
01:24:52,535 --> 01:24:55,504
EDGAR: Life would not
yield to age.

1460
01:24:55,538 --> 01:24:58,748
OLD MAN: Oh, my good Lord,
I have been your tenant

1461
01:24:58,783 --> 01:25:03,270
and your father's tenant
these four-score years.

1462
01:25:03,305 --> 01:25:04,547
GLOUCESTER: Away,
get thee away,

1463
01:25:04,582 --> 01:25:07,136
my friend, be gone!

1464
01:25:07,171 --> 01:25:09,897
Thy comforts can do me
no good at all.

1465
01:25:09,932 --> 01:25:12,037
He said
you were far better

1466
01:25:12,072 --> 01:25:15,144
than Mr. Davenport Scott
in every way.

1467
01:25:15,179 --> 01:25:17,560
Did he?
Did he really?

1468
01:25:17,595 --> 01:25:18,768
He said
you were very fine

1469
01:25:18,803 --> 01:25:20,011
in the storm scene,
Geoffrey.

1470
01:25:20,045 --> 01:25:21,737
Very agile, he said.

1471
01:25:23,394 --> 01:25:25,879
You know, Fool's by far
the most important part

1472
01:25:25,913 --> 01:25:28,744
I've ever played
in Shakespeare.

1473
01:25:30,297 --> 01:25:33,404
Trouble is, it gives one
a taste for more.

1474
01:25:33,438 --> 01:25:34,888
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

1475
01:25:34,922 --> 01:25:36,441
Yes?

1476
01:25:36,476 --> 01:25:37,649
It's Irene.

1477
01:25:37,684 --> 01:25:39,513
I'm returning
the triple crown, Sir.

1478
01:25:39,548 --> 01:25:40,997
Yes.

1479
01:25:42,309 --> 01:25:44,242
Put it down.

1480
01:26:01,017 --> 01:26:04,780
Sir, will it disturb you
if I say something?

1481
01:26:04,814 --> 01:26:06,747
It depends
on what it is.

1482
01:26:06,782 --> 01:26:08,853
I just wanted
to thank you.

1483
01:26:08,887 --> 01:26:10,579
For what?

1484
01:26:10,613 --> 01:26:12,960
The performance
this evening.

1485
01:26:12,995 --> 01:26:15,239
It isn't over yet.

1486
01:26:15,273 --> 01:26:18,276
I felt honored
to be on the stage.

1487
01:26:18,311 --> 01:26:20,589
In the drawer
of the makeup table

1488
01:26:20,623 --> 01:26:23,385
you will find
a photograph of me.

1489
01:26:47,547 --> 01:26:51,136
I love coming
into your room.

1490
01:26:51,171 --> 01:26:56,176
I can feel the power...
and the mystery.

1491
01:26:58,351 --> 01:27:00,318
In days gone by,

1492
01:27:00,353 --> 01:27:01,871
this would have been
the place

1493
01:27:01,906 --> 01:27:05,185
where
the high priests robed.

1494
01:27:06,566 --> 01:27:09,534
I feel frightened,

1495
01:27:09,569 --> 01:27:11,433
as though
I'm trespassing.

1496
01:27:17,404 --> 01:27:20,200
A kindred spirit?

1497
01:27:26,275 --> 01:27:28,588
Lock the door.

1498
01:27:47,676 --> 01:27:50,299
Come nearer, uh...

1499
01:27:50,334 --> 01:27:51,887
Irene.

1500
01:27:51,921 --> 01:27:53,647
Irene...

1501
01:28:02,311 --> 01:28:04,348
And you want to act?

1502
01:28:04,382 --> 01:28:06,039
Yes.

1503
01:28:06,073 --> 01:28:07,868
Passionately?

1504
01:28:07,903 --> 01:28:09,042
Yes.

1505
01:28:09,076 --> 01:28:11,009
To the exclusion of all else?

1506
01:28:11,044 --> 01:28:12,114
Yes.

1507
01:28:12,148 --> 01:28:14,219
You must be prepared
to sacrifice

1508
01:28:14,254 --> 01:28:16,532
what most people call life.

1509
01:28:16,567 --> 01:28:18,465
I am.

1510
01:28:22,745 --> 01:28:25,334
Have you good legs?

1511
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:44,146
Higher.

1512
01:29:03,165 --> 01:29:05,098
There's not much to you.

1513
01:29:10,862 --> 01:29:13,313
Such small bones.

1514
01:29:22,391 --> 01:29:24,876
Are you getting enough to eat?

1515
01:29:24,911 --> 01:29:27,223
Oh, yes.

1516
01:29:35,887 --> 01:29:38,234
So young...

1517
01:29:39,926 --> 01:29:41,376
So young.

1518
01:29:47,416 --> 01:29:49,660
Aha!

1519
01:29:51,109 --> 01:29:54,181
That's more like it.

1520
01:29:54,216 --> 01:29:55,804
[LAUGHS]

1521
01:29:55,838 --> 01:29:57,426
Oh!

1522
01:29:59,911 --> 01:30:01,430
Too late.

1523
01:30:01,465 --> 01:30:04,399
It's... it's too late.

1524
01:30:10,128 --> 01:30:11,509
Well, now,
my dainty duck.

1525
01:30:11,544 --> 01:30:13,131
He seems much better.

1526
01:30:13,166 --> 01:30:14,374
What was all that
about?

1527
01:30:14,409 --> 01:30:16,376
Let go of me.

[MUFFLED SPEECH]

1529
01:30:26,110 --> 01:30:27,732
You think
I don't know the game?

1530
01:30:27,767 --> 01:30:29,596
You think I've dressed
the rotten bugger

1531
01:30:29,631 --> 01:30:30,701
for 16 bloody years,

1532
01:30:30,735 --> 01:30:31,978
nursed him, spoiled him,

1533
01:30:32,012 --> 01:30:33,738
washed his sweat-sodden
doublet and hose

1534
01:30:33,773 --> 01:30:34,843
and his foul underpants

1535
01:30:34,877 --> 01:30:36,016
night after night

1536
01:30:36,051 --> 01:30:38,329
without knowing
every twist and turn

1537
01:30:38,363 --> 01:30:40,952
of what is laughingly known
as his mind?

1538
01:30:40,987 --> 01:30:43,576
He did something,
something unseen and furtive,

1539
01:30:43,610 --> 01:30:45,750
something that gave him
pleasure.

1540
01:30:45,785 --> 01:30:47,131
That's more like it.

1541
01:30:47,165 --> 01:30:48,891
More like what, Irene?

1542
01:30:48,926 --> 01:30:51,584
I have to know all he does.

1543
01:30:51,618 --> 01:30:54,414
He lifted me up?

1544
01:30:54,449 --> 01:30:56,312
He lifted you up?

1545
01:30:56,347 --> 01:30:59,695
"So young," he said,
and lifted me up.

1546
01:30:59,730 --> 01:31:01,145
Ah!

1547
01:31:01,179 --> 01:31:02,560
Why do you laugh?

1548
01:31:02,595 --> 01:31:06,322
He was trembling and so was I.

1549
01:31:06,357 --> 01:31:09,187
It's youth and newness he needs.

1550
01:31:10,637 --> 01:31:12,605
With my eyes closed,

1551
01:31:12,639 --> 01:31:16,988
I imagined what it would be like
to be carried on by him...

1552
01:31:17,023 --> 01:31:18,403
Cordelia...

1553
01:31:19,681 --> 01:31:23,339
Dead in his arms... young.

1554
01:31:23,374 --> 01:31:26,135
Never mind the "young Cordelia,"
ducky.

1555
01:31:26,170 --> 01:31:29,311
He wants
a light Cordelia.

1556
01:31:30,588 --> 01:31:32,487
Light, ducky, light.

1557
01:31:32,521 --> 01:31:33,936
Look at yourself.

1558
01:31:33,971 --> 01:31:34,937
Look at Her Ladyship.

1559
01:31:34,972 --> 01:31:36,525
You don't understand.

1560
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:37,561
He needs youth.

1561
01:31:37,595 --> 01:31:39,908
You're lighter than she is.

1562
01:31:39,942 --> 01:31:42,531
You're not the first one
to be placed on the scales.

1563
01:31:42,566 --> 01:31:44,878
How do you think Her Ladyship
got the job?

1564
01:31:44,913 --> 01:31:46,501
Her Ladyship,
when a slip of a girl,

1565
01:31:46,535 --> 01:31:47,640
went from map carrier

1566
01:31:47,674 --> 01:31:49,504
to youngest daughter
overnight.

1567
01:31:49,538 --> 01:31:50,505
I remember it well.

1568
01:31:50,539 --> 01:31:51,885
That was the tour

1569
01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:54,750
the Doge of Venice
gave Lancelot Gobbo clap.

1570
01:31:54,785 --> 01:31:56,683
It's not youth or talent

1571
01:31:56,718 --> 01:31:58,961
or star quality
he's after, ducky,

1572
01:31:58,996 --> 01:32:01,757
but a moderate eater.

1573
01:32:01,792 --> 01:32:03,379
Off you go, ducky.

1574
01:32:05,934 --> 01:32:09,385
She'll have to find
another canoe to paddle.

1575
01:32:09,420 --> 01:32:13,044
Ours, I'm afraid, has holes.

1576
01:32:16,565 --> 01:32:17,946
Did I tell you, Sir?

1577
01:32:17,980 --> 01:32:20,500
I mingled during the interval.

1578
01:32:20,535 --> 01:32:22,433
You should hear
what they think out there.

1579
01:32:22,467 --> 01:32:25,919
Michelangelo, William Blake,

1580
01:32:25,954 --> 01:32:30,165
God knows who else
you reminded them of.

1581
01:32:30,199 --> 01:32:32,132
Michelangelo?

1582
01:32:34,238 --> 01:32:35,826
Do they?

1583
01:32:36,896 --> 01:32:38,829
And Blake.

1584
01:32:42,073 --> 01:32:44,869
I know what they mean.

1585
01:32:44,904 --> 01:32:48,528
Moral grandeur.

1586
01:32:52,601 --> 01:32:55,052
I talked to the girl.

1587
01:32:55,086 --> 01:32:58,020
She's not as light
as she looks.

1588
01:33:03,923 --> 01:33:06,615
We are none of us
strong enough

1589
01:33:06,650 --> 01:33:09,273
for a change of cast.

1590
01:33:10,619 --> 01:33:13,346
You can never be properly paid.

1591
01:33:13,380 --> 01:33:15,624
In pectoral, I name you friend.

1592
01:33:15,659 --> 01:33:17,592
The debt is all mine

1593
01:33:17,626 --> 01:33:20,422
and I shall find a way
to repay you.

1594
01:33:20,456 --> 01:33:22,251
I must-- must
settle all my debts.

1595
01:33:22,286 --> 01:33:23,252
Oh, stop it.

1596
01:33:23,287 --> 01:33:24,253
You're making me
tearful.

1597
01:33:24,288 --> 01:33:26,842
God, your breath smells
of stale tights.

1598
01:33:26,877 --> 01:33:28,119
How much have you had?

1599
01:33:28,154 --> 01:33:29,431
Not enough.

1600
01:33:29,465 --> 01:33:31,502
Iago, Iago...

1601
01:33:31,536 --> 01:33:33,228
Wrong play.

01:33:34,954 --> 01:33:37,784
I have to wake up
in bliss.

1603
01:33:37,819 --> 01:33:40,304
I have to carry on
Her Ladyship.

1604
01:33:40,338 --> 01:33:41,892
I need you sober.

1605
01:33:41,926 --> 01:33:43,065
I am sober.

01:33:46,586 --> 01:33:48,692
It's no laughing matter.
The final push!

1609
01:33:48,726 --> 01:33:50,763
I hope you're up to it.
Yes, and you, dear.
