Original subtitles

How was it? - I feel like the brute was riding me.

Aye, she's a frisky mare.

Look at them. Still raring to go. How do they do it?

You work harder than they do.

Thank you, milady.

Nothing can save you now. - Steady.

How about lunch?

I'd love to, but I have an appointment at the hairdresser.

At this rate, we'll never get anywhere.

I'm saving you for a rainy day.

Allison, are you alright?

I'm alright.

I should have brought my horse.

Oh Madame .. excusez-moi.

I'm alright.

Mummy, mummy, come on quick.

Wait, I've dropped my hat.

Do I hear my babies?

Daddy's back.

Look what Daddy brought us from King Kong.

Oh darling babies .. "Hong Kong".

Where is your hat, darling? Didn't you get a hat?

Yes, let's see this man from King Kong.

Paul, dear.

Why don't you kids stay here and we'll play Chinese ..

Chinese Cowboys.

It's a wonderful game. He'll show you, won't you, Paul.

Sure, they look like good material. Now the rules of this game are ..

That's the important point. You've got it, Harry.

Thank you, Harry. Now put Carl on the line.

Oh .. Carl, good morning. Wait a minute. I have to kiss my wife.

How is your wife by the way?

Good .. nice to hear.

[ German language ]

[ German language ]

Harry again?

Alright, put him on. What is it?

Well, I'm sorry Harry, you'll just have to work it out.

Yes, we are accepting bids in the morning.

I'm counting on you, Harry.

Thank you .. goodbye.

Darling.

Hello, Paul. - Hello.

Madame Valadier.

Alright children, off you go now.

Prenez les enfants, huh ..

Hello Paul .. good to see you. - You're welcome. Thank you, Eric.

I have something for you. - Yeah?

Here it is.

Watch out for the teeth. - Teeth?

Sounds like a crocodile.

Just what I needed. How did you know?

I asked your secretary.

It's Indian. 12th century.

Marvelous. Thank you, Eric.

You were away longer than we expected.

The talks kept dragging on. Besides ..

I was giving you a chance to sweep Allison off her feet.

Oh .. would you like us to be lovers?

If it would make you both happy.

That would make us all happy.

And relieve your conscience, huh? - Of course.

Madame, it is New York on the phone again.

Again?

It's Robin .. she's left her husband and she's in a state.

[ French language ]

She says he's probably thrown her out.

I knew she couldn't go on making a fool of him.

She may as well get it over with.

They never hit it off.

Are you waiting for her?

Once bitten, twice shy. Not again.

Never again.

What did Robin have to say?

Paul gone?

Yes. Yes, he had to go back to work.

Fleur De Rocas.

Thank you, darling.

About Robin? Something serious?

Would you help me, darling?

Oh yes, of course.

No .. thank you.

Are you upset?

She's coming home.

She has nowhere else to go.

Oh, Eric .. why don't you want Robin to come back?

So. We have the pleasure of having .. Robin again.

Well this is her home.

And she'll be company for me.

You will be back squabbling over each other's toys.

In no time.

Robin is going to be in and out of marriages .. for the rest of her life.

Eric.

Please.

Eric.

Oh .. Eric ..

"A misty, moisty morning, cloudy was the weather."

"He began to compliment, and I began to grin."

"How do you do, and how do you do, and how do you do again."

"There was an old woman .."

Susan, are you eating your carrots?

Yes, mother. - No, she isn't.

"Oh tattle-tale tit, your tongue will split."

Oh hello children. - Robin brought us books from America.

That was nice of her.

Alright now, go back and finish your suppers.

Hello, darling.

Did you tell her?

No. Not yet .. she just got here.

I couldn't tell her. Not right away. Could I?

Eric.

Could I ..

Could I speak to Tony Blake please?

Oh .. you are Mrs Blake?

"Can I ask him to call you back?"

Never mind.

Will you just tell him that Robin Crawford called.

Thank you.

It's fantastic.

All the men I used to know have either gotten married or gone queer.

What did they do with this country?

It's the Welfare State.

When they nationalized sex, people began losing interest.

Not you though.

At least, not according to the letters you've been getting recently.

Oh, it was locked.

You once said I had "sticky, prying fingers".

That was unkind of me.

Not bad.

Then of course, you always had taste.

There is something I want to say.

Come, come. We can't disappoint Allison, can we?

Thank you very much, brother-in-law.

Since you insist, perhaps I'll stay after all.

But I'll have my own room back if you don't mind.

I'm sorry, Robin. I would rather you didn't stay here.

You are not afraid of me?

I don't want it to happen again.

It won't.

Robin, why are you here?

Allison is my sister.

We have a right to be with each other.

Sooner or later, you want her to find out.

Is that it?

You think I may open her eyes to you?

It was hopeless even before she was blind.

I am sure you won't find yourself without a roof over your head.

Your cousin would probably take you.

If you twisted her arm.

No. I like it here.

Please, ask me to stay, brother-in-law.

Yes, I'd tell her.

In the hospital.

When she realized she was blind.

You remember what she did.

You think she'll do it again?

Yes.

She might be better off dead.

You hate her, don't you?

I love her.

His wife is related to the minister.

Now you're being cynical.

Is the toast alright?

Ah, these things never work.

No, not yet.

Oh, here is a picture of the Prime Minister.

He's back from Washington. - How does he look?

He looks a bit tired.

And about three inches shorter.

Thank you.

Good morning. - Oh.

Good morning. - Good morning.

Did you have a good time last night?

Hmm. A lovely time.

Whatever has happened to Paul? He's really learned to dance.

Oh look, the new collections.

They look marvelous.

Allison, you need some up-to-date clothes.

What do you think she did before you came?

I'm sure she dressed to please you.

Right.

Good morning. - Paul.

Good morning.

It was late and he was in no condition to be driving.

So I put him to bed in the study.

Yes.

Well .. pull up a seat.

Oh .. Betty, set another place.

Eric.

So give Paul some coffee, won't you.

Oh yes, of course.

Sugar .. cream.

No thank you. No.

Toast? We like our guests to be comfortable.

Oh Eric, please.

Coffee .. just coffee, thank you.

Now, come, come. That's not a man's breakfast.

You need more than that after a hard night.

The toast is ready, darling.

Eric, please.

It's a bit early in the morning.

Well, I'm sure you are not the one responsible.

You can.

I think I have to go. Good morning.

I'm sorry.

He's just not himself.

He's right there. I should have ..

Excuse me.

Oh dear.

Eric insists I'm a bad influence on you.

Well.

He'll just have to get used to the idea that you're my baby sister.

Won't he.

Eric. - Yeah?

I just wanted to check. Can you still make if for lunch?

I believe so.

At your usual time?

Right.

But.

Get shaved.

Now the.

Shoes, hats.

A couple of spring outfits.

And don't argue because I have been through your wardrobe.

Robbie.

About Paul.

Are you fond of him?

He's fun.

He's in love with you.

Am I taking him away from you?

He's not mine .. alas.

Alright. Here, thank you.

You like that?

A bit Queen Mary isn't it?

Very Queen Mary.

How's this?

Oh, it's a bit big.

Hey.

You've been very patient. Thank you.

You get paid, don't you?

It's going to be .. super.

That's better.

Now, what about that?

It seems it needs ..

A bit of something .. doesn't it?

Wait a minute.

Oh look .. look at this.

Marvelous.

A leopard .. a leopard scarf.

Do you have a pin please?

A leopard-ey scarf. - That's fun.

Brown and yellow.

Thank you.

Now then .. what about that? - How is it?

Why it looks marvelous. Marvelous.

I'll take it.

It's a 3/4 length dress.

Covered in jewels.

The material is sleazy.

Not very special.

Here's a better one. - Let's see it.

It's a Nina Ricci copy.

A black sheath.

Let's look. - It's cut very low.

It's not a copy.

It's not? - No.

Don't tell me the price. Let's try it on.

It's very beautiful. - Try it on.

Me try it on? - Yes, you.

It's your birthday present, in advance.

Only 3 months.

It's far too expensive. I don't need it.

Can I help you madam? - No. - Yes.

I'm your bossy sister and I insist.

You win.

Thank you.

There is a chair.

I'll be back in a minute.

What a charming hat.

Did you get it here? - Yes.

But I'm afraid it's the only one.

A pity.

It looks lovely. It just needs shortening. We can do that at home.

Of course. Shall we have tea?

Yes. That's a marvelous idea.

I saw a belt that will go with your new suit. I bought it for you.

Thank you.

Now we're even.

What about the doctors?

You hear of these fantastic operations nowadays.

Corneal transplants?

There is nothing wrong with my eyes.

The trouble is in the head.

What do you mean?

My brain won't accept the images that my eyes make.

You mean, you're not really .. - Blind.

As blind as a bat.

But not for physical reasons.

You were hurt .. the accident?

There was an accident.

I fell down the stairs and I hit my head .. and after that I was blind.

A pressure on the brain centre from a small haemorrhage.

Complicated by post-natal reaction.

A hysterical blindness after childbirth isn't impossible.

It happens .. anything happens.

You mean you could see if you wanted to?

If I wanted to?

Aren't people marvelous.

There is one of my children I've never seen.

The color of her hair, her eyes.

Only words to me. Other people's words.

Have some more tea. - No.

But why?

I can tell you what the psychiatrist said.

I'm afraid to see.

There is something I'm afraid to look at.

That's the way the psychiatrist put it.

Have you any idea what it is?

I've searched my brain.

A thousand times looking for a clue.

I lie awake at night.

Listening.

I think maybe it's the sound of footsteps that will turn the key.

It's close, close.

Sometimes I can almost touch it going by.

How do you know?

Because it hurts my eyes.

Allison. - Just a minute.

Yes Eric?

You have a letter from the country.

Your grandmother said the repairs aren't coming along.

Damn. I knew we shouldn't have left it to her. What does she say?

Listen.

"Dear Allison, I'm sure everything is going well for you and the children."

"Because the conjunction of Neptune and Mercury .."

"Has always favoured the family."

Well, she's mad.

"Unfortunately."

"The plumbing repairs will not be finished in time for your visit."

"As I was compelled to send the workmen away."

What?

"Mars."

"Is in the negative sign of Scorpio."

"So there is no use you paying for repairs."

"As they will only have to be done over again."

Another summer without a decent hot bath.

Perhaps you ought to go down a bit earlier with Robin and the children?

And see if you can't straighten things out.

I don't care that much about plumbing.

And I'll try to get off earlier too, and ..

Oh, excuse me.

I just wanted to show you the dress.

Oh, it's a beautiful dress.

It fits perfectly.

Oh I'm glad we got it.

Will you do me up, please?

Thank you.

Zipped?

That's all.

Carry on.

Eric!

Sorry darling.

I broke something.

How clumsy of me.

Eric.

What's the matter?

Nothing, darling.

[ Radio: ]

"Here now is the weather forecast."

"The general situation."

"The pressure will remain rather low .."

"Over the southern and northern areas of the British Isles."

"During tomorrow, it is expected to remain mainly cloudy."

"For the rest of tonight there will be a tendency for the rain to clear."

"If this tendency continues .."

There may be a chance of a few hours of scattered sunshine tomorrow."

"Especially in the late afternoon."

Incredible .. cloudy, rainy.

But .. sunshine.

"Predominantly cloudy weather .."

"With a little rain in places will persist for the rest of the day."

It's alright now, darling.

Let me help you, huh?

This is a job.

That needs a pair of ..

Large.

Clumsy hands.

What do you have to do here?

There is a report from your real-estate agent.

Do I have anything left?

A bit. You might even be able to feed your children next week.

May I join the family?

I thought you already had.

But try not to get nail-polish on the carpet.

Yes, Daddy.

Robin. Do you want to go to the country with me and the children?

We're going a little earlier this year.

There's nothing to do down there.

I'm going to stay in town and irritate Eric.

How? By trying to seduce him?

Well if I did.

It would only be to teach him a lesson.

He's too sure of himself.

Oh, so you'd be doing me a favor, naturally.

Uhuh ..

When I give him back to you.

He'd know he was mortal like the rest of us.

When you give him back to me? How very kind of you.

Now listen, Robin .. about this summer.

If it makes any difference to you, Paul may be spending the holidays with us.

Would you help me, dear?

Did you hurt yourself, darling?

Eric?

It went on the sofa. Here it is.

Robbie.

Robbie.

What are you wearing?

You frightened me. - I'm sorry. I forget.

That's alright.

You really shouldn't have flounced out like that.

Robbie.

Would you close the door.

I want to ask you something about my accident.

When I was going to the psychiatrist ..

He asked me what happened before .. just before.

I couldn't tell him.

There's a hole in my memory.

I thought perhaps you could help me.

Oh, I was in my room.

I didn't know anything was happening until I heard you fall down the stairs.

Did I.

I remember .. you were crying.

I was asleep .. and something woke me.

What woke you?

Suddenly, I knew the baby was going to be born.

I started to wake Eric.

He wasn't there.

I had to find him.

I got up.

Started down the hall.

And then I heard you crying.

And then?

It's a blank.

Next thing I remember, I was in the hospital.

You were crying, weren't you?

Yes .. I ..

I didn't want to go to America and get married.

And it was too late to back out.

I shouldn't have let you go.

You were crying.

There is something else.

It's in here.

I can't ..

Trying to remember gives me a headache.

I think I'll take a pill and go to bed.

I've changed my mind about going to the country .. I'll come with you.

Oh, we'll have a summer like we used to. - Yeah.

Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Get a good rest. - Yes.

You are comfortable, now?

Oh presents! - Sweets!

Yes.

There you are. It cost me an arm and a leg.

Alright .. guess what?

An arm and a leg ..

And here.

This was washed up this morning. It's an extra-special fish.

Look .. now you mustn't pull this until you reach the beach.

Alright? Don't pull it until you reach the beach.

Don't forget to stop the milk, darling.

I'll take care of it.

Have fun.

What about .. auntie Robbie?

Thank you, Daddy. - Goodbye now.

Goodbye, kids. - Goodbye uncle Paul. Goodbye Daddy.

And goodbye auntie Robin.

Look what's happening!

I didn't touch it. - Yes you did. You pulled the string.

Hey, you can't leave us with this beast.

Punch a hole in it. - Or buy it a ticket.

You beasts.

We must be near the marshes.

We just passed them.

We'll be coming to the old windmill soon.

It's still turning.

Nothing has changed.

There is a factory there, now.

Don't protect me, Robbie.

Don't make up windmills.

Oh, we're awfully glad to see you ma'am. And you too, Miss Robin.

Hello, Derby.

Wipe your feet, close the door quietly.

And don't make any noise.

It never changes.

It's musty here.

You know, she still gives me the creeps.

"You're not afraid of astral vibrations are you?"

Mind the light.

Is the girl with the pussycat still there?

Still there.

Are the men in trunks still there?

Yes, unfortunately.

I'm alright.

Be quiet! You'll disturb Granny.

Your darling Granny.

Allison. - Hello Grandmother.

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

I didn't hear the car.

Come and sit down, my dear.

Here.

I ..

I wanted to talk to you.

I suppose you're upset about the repairs?

No. It's something .. very serious.

You're not pregnant I hope.

I think not, Grandma.

Venus is on your descendant you know.

I'm not pregnant.

I'm trying to find ..

I wanted to talk to you about Eric.

Eric's a decent husband. He stood by you.

Don't be afraid, Grandmother.

I'm not going to make any problems.

I was only thinking of your welfare.

You were thinking of your own comfort, as usual.

"Gemini. You can always tell a Gemini."

Gemini, you can always tell a Gemini.

Grandmother. Will you ..

Help me .. if you can.

You never let anyone help you, even as a child.

Did you try?

"You wanted your own way."

"I was too old to fight."

You wanted your own way.

I was too old to fight.

You even took Robin from me.

It's Robin I'm sorry for.

Robin.

"She grew up under your thumb."

"She waited on you."

"Anything of hers you wanted, you .. took."

Like what? Her teddy-bear?

You were jealous because we loved each other.

"Do you remember how you met Eric?"

"Who introduced you to him?

It was an adolescent crush.

"The first time he took you out dancing."

"She locked herself in her room and cried all night."

She locked herself in her room and cried all night.

You didn't hear her.

Did you?

"She locked herself in her room and cried all night."

"You didn't hear her."

"Did you?"

Did you?

I heard.

Oh, stop snivelling.

You're no worse than a lot of other people.

Neither am I.

You been waiting? - No. I just got here.

Cheers. - Cheers.

By the way .. my holiday is about due.

Yes. Allison said you might be coming down.

It wasn't definite. I could buzz down to Cornwall.

Nonsense. They're expecting you.

You're almost a member of the family.

An honored guest. - Of course.

Your table is ready now gentlemen. - Thank you.

I'll bring the drinks if you like. - No. I'll do that.

May I suggest, roast leg of lamb.

No, I think .. chops.

Underdone. And ..

Peas .. and boiled potatoes.

How is it going with Robin?

Oh .. I'm hopeful.

These Crawford girls have something. As you know.

Do I?

Well, you are married to one.

Oh yes, of course.

But then you've been cultivating a taste for Spain lately, haven't you.

That's over.

And by the way, she was Peruvian.

Please don't talk about women as if they were wines.

A sign of youth.

Thanks for the tip.

Alright, I'll have the same. - Very good, sir.

I've got half a notion ..

When would you be leaving? - Saturday.

It would be quite a surprise for Allison if I showed up with you.

What do you say ..

We drive down together?

Great.

Hi, Robbie. - Hi, Charlie.

What's this then, eh? - It's a seal, silly.

Is it a boy seal or a girl seal?

Why don't you find out.

Don't you know the difference between a girl and a seal?

She's with those animals again.

Oh Granny, she's been married, off to America, and back again.

Why a girl here age should be keeping Gigolos?

They're not Gigolos. They just don't have any money.

She's typically Sagittarius.

Can't you keep off her?

Well, you stand up for each other.

I have to say that.

Robin, how about a bite to eat?

Solo .. just you and us.

I'm sorry, I can't. I promised Allison my sister we would go for a walk.

Well, bring your sister as well.

How old is she?

Allison? You must be joking. She's not a type like you.

She .. she's kind of square.

Well, we could round off her corners for her.

Hey look, I'll take you to lunch tomorrow. I promise, okay?

Okay. - Ciao.

Ah .. whee ..

Me next .. whee ..

Any news from Allison?

The roof leaks.

Susan has learned how to swim.

Did she say anything about Robin?

She is amusing herself.

But nothing serious.

It never is.

Maybe you ought to get tough.

How?

Beat her.

Use your hand, and use your belt.

When she's had enough, make love to her.

Did you and Robin ..?

Uhuh .. a long time ago.

Were you in love?

No.

A bit of a braggart, wasn't she.

Good morning. - Super, sir?

Fill it up please.

How old was Robin?

Seventeen.

She was living with you and Allison, wasn't she?

Only on holidays .. she was at school.

And you helped her with her lessons.

She probably idolized you. She never knew her father.

That was part of it.

I watched her grow up.

The skirts lengthen, the hairdo.

The little apples filling out. - And finally you picked the fruit.

When a man is beginning to count his grey hairs ..

That sort of flattery is hard to resist.

Besides, you were educating her, weren't you.

Uhuh .. she was an eager pupil I must say.

What really happened?

Ask her.

Got the message?

Oh, it's in there. I just can't make out the words.

Robbie ..

When I married Eric.

Were you in love with him?

I hated him.

He was taking you away from me.

And you were all I had.

Oh, it's funny how differently we see things.

I mean, to me you were the one who had everything. Everything.

That's what people always said.

Talent, beauty.

And you?

Oh, they admitted I was pretty, but ..

You were ravishing.

You never knew how your ravishing sister was ravished .. did you?

On your wedding night.

What were you trying to do?

Get even?

Oh, it didn't work anyway.

I made a date with a man I had picked up on the beach.

He was middle-aged and balding.

But he had a great sports car.

I took him to our "secret place".

He had sand in his shoes, poor man.

I remember, I cried a little bit.

Not for what had happened, but ..

Because I wanted to come home and tell you all about it.

And ..

And I couldn't.

Oh .. we have visitors.

Duck again.

Alright?

Bravo!

Well done, well done.

Bravo.

Hello.

There you are.

Lady Godiva.

Can I help you down?

She's jumped Derby over the hedge.

She's a witch with horses.

Come back here!

Come on .. quickly.

Help!

Leave it, leave it .. come on.

Quick. Come on!

I see you finally got the bath fixed.

All I had to do was make mad, passionate love to the plumber.

Come back here!

Bloody young rips ..

Pinching my blackcurrants.

Oh, Mr Jackson. Calm yourself.

I'll be right down. - It's alright.

I'll have the law on you if it's the last thing I do.

Alright, alright, alright.

You aren't going to pay him? Don't be ridiculous.

You silly old man.

What do you mean, chasing children over a few worthless blackcurrants?

Well, go to the police if you like. I could tell them a thing or two.

All the country knows what goes on in your barn.

You dirty old man.

What's all the shouting about.

It's Robin again.

She's had the children out stealing berries.

Oh .. is that all?

Is that all?

What must she do before you find fault with her.

She is irresponsible.

She has her reasons.

Such as?

Things that happened to her.

Things we did.

What did we do?

We took her for granted.

She took us for granted too.

But .. she was young.

And do you think she's still our little Robin?

Let her grow up, Allison.

We pushed her out once.

I'm not going to do it again.

Cut yourself free.

Think of yourself.

For once.

She needs me.

Eric .. don't go.

It's cruel.

It's the cruellest thing you can do.

What do you want me to do?

I can't .. help myself.

Did you find this place?

Allison and I used to come here and hide.

Who was looking for you?

No-one.

That's why we hid.

Do you want some jam?

Why won't you marry me?

Because you don't love me.

You need proof?

Do you know what it is to want?

To really want someone?

A want beating against your ..

Brain, until nothing else exists.

Self-respect.

Shame.

Other people's lives ..

Is that how you want Eric?

He told you, didn't he?

He warned you.

Naturally .. he's your friend.

I guessed. If it matters.

You still came, didn't you.

Love is humiliating, isn't it.

I learned that a long time ago. From Eric.

I worshipped him.

Finally, he took pity on me.

He gave me a crumb.

He was kind.

Eric?

It's me, Paul.

Hey, you're smoking again.

I just felt like it tonight.

Can I swipe one? - Hmm. Do.

What do you think about us, Allison?

You and Robbie?

I'm in love with her, but I'm afraid it's hopeless.

But you keep hoping.

It's absurd isn't it?

Cut yourself free, Paul.

Love has to stop somewhere along the line.

Otherwise it's like ..

Like committing suicide.

Who are we talking about, Allison?

Shall we have rice or potatoes?

Mrs Valadier? - She went to market.

She waited for you until 10:10.

Excusez-moi.

Where is everyone?

The children are at the beach.

Eric and Paul have gone skin-diving. They'll be back soon.

Skin-diving?

Do you disapprove?

Yes.

Men ought not to be allowed to do things together.

Unless they do them with you.

Has the thought ever crossed your mind ..

About the money?

What thought?

Well, they're so friendly. They tell each other everything.

You're marvelous.

If you can't poison my marriage one way, you'll try another, won't you Robin?

I was only trying to open your eyes.

Eric told me you'd be helpful.

He thinks all women are bitches.

Objects of pity.

Like you.

You cut your finger.

Yes. I've cut myself!

We're finished, Robin.

He likes you blind.

He like me, what?

What .. did you say?

Well, that's why you're blind, isn't it?

It's the only way you can hold him.

If I could see you!

Let go of me!

What's the matter?

What happened?

Oh, I'll get you something.

I'll take you away.

The children are supposed to visit their cousins tomorrow.

We'll drive off together and ..

Spend our anniversary ..

Alone.

I can't leave.

It's Robin, isn't it?

It's over.

Then, come with me.

I'm not going to run away.

Whatever happens.

No, I didn't think you would.

I suppose I've always known.

I love you, Eric.

What goes on?

Your sister's on that horse again.

Get back!

What is it Eric?

Get out of my way!

Robin! Get off that horse! Get off!

Shut up! All of you!

I'm alright.

Robin.

Don't touch her.

Better get a doctor .. hurry!

Whoa .. whoa!

Easy boy! Easy boy!

We'll send for the doctor.

Where is she?

Eric's taken her into the house.

Ali .. Allison?

Allison is alright.

No thanks to you.

"I think that's a warning."

"He wants to take care of you."

"She loves you."

"It's going to be in no country."

"No people."

"Please don't send me away."

"There is no other way now."

"We've got to end it."

Allison.

I think you'd better go to your room.

She'll be alright.

The Doctor is coming.

I'll manage it.

Let me be alone.

Let me go!

It's not going to be as it was before.

And I'm not going to be second best.

And Allison?

Ha!

Tell her!

Tell her that you're leaving her.

You're leaving everything.

You're leaving the children.

For me.

You tell her.

Horse.

Horse.

What am I going to do?

Where have you been?

I was walking. And I didn't notice the time.

There is some dinner in the oven.

Thank you. I am not hungry.

Eric.

Eric.

"A" is for "Allison".

"Tall and fair."

"R" is for "Robin".

"With long, red hair."

"One misty, moisty morning."

"Cloudy was the weather."

"There I met an old man, dressed all in leather."

"He began to compliment, and I began to drink."

"How do you do?"

"How do you do what you do and .."

"How do you do it again?"

[ Door knocks ]

Come in.

Please, Madame. The taxi is here.

0h, is it time? Alright.

Off we go.

Now, don't forget to eat your carrots.

Why do I have to eat my carrots?

Because they are better for you than sweeties.

I'm ready. Are we going now?

Now children, have you got everything? - Yes.

Well, you must say goodbye to Mummy.

The car is here. Will he wait for us?

Be my good girls. - Goodbye mummy. Goodbye.

Come along. Come along, off we go.

Madame Valadier.

You will be kind to them?

Of course, Madame.

Children!

Why must you always forget things. - Because.

Now come along.

Hey! Wait a minute!

Have a nice trip. - Au revoir, Monsieur.

Goodbye then. - Goodbye .. goodbye.

Lunch is nearly ready.

Bye.

Allison, where are you off to?

I .. have a headache.

I want to lie down for a while. - Lunch is almost ready.

If you'll excuse me, please. - Nonsense, it's already prepared.

I'll read us another chapter of "The Red Sands Of Mars".

Here.

Do something useful.

Chapter Four.

"Beyond the twin moons of Mars .."

"The Ion-Pulse drive sent the craft into hyperspace."

"The Martian at the controls set the coordinates .."

"For the green world: The Earth."

"The Viz-Eye plates revealed the vast sphere of the Earth."

"Thinking of his own distant red sands, the Martian wondered .."

"Whether there was life on the alien world below."

Alright Grandmother, that's enough. I'm going to my room.

How's lunch, eh?

Is it nearly ready?

It's time for a drink, isn't it.

You can if you like.

But you'll have to wait for Robin.

Anyone join me?

No thank you.

Happy anniversary.

Those are my roses .. ha.

Anniversary? Why didn't anyone tell me?

Because he's forgotten it.

Haven't you, Eric?

Shall we go in to lunch? - I have ..

I have a little announcement to make first.

You don't mind if I tell them, do you?

Go ahead.

I'm asking Paul to be my next husband.

He says "Yes".

I hope you'll be very happy.

Happy anniversary .. everyone!

Aren't you going to kiss the bride?
