1
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:39,981
Over the last three years,

2
00:00:40,021 --> 00:00:40,840
I have been in the position

3
00:00:40,861 --> 00:00:41,342
to make a close study

4
00:00:41,361 --> 00:00:43,583
of the forsytes.

5
00:00:43,593 --> 00:00:45,182
Fleur, of course,

6
00:00:45,214 --> 00:00:45,753
being half french,

7
00:00:45,763 --> 00:00:47,484
is not typical,

8
00:00:47,524 --> 00:00:48,494
but her father decidedly is,

9
00:00:48,514 --> 00:00:49,985
and on reflection,

10
00:00:50,025 --> 00:00:50,686
perhaps

11
00:00:50,725 --> 00:00:51,346
their strongest characteristic

12
00:00:51,546 --> 00:00:53,467
is a sort of honest,

13
00:00:53,477 --> 00:00:54,047
dogged determination.

14
00:00:54,247 --> 00:00:57,449
It seemed to me,

15
00:00:57,688 --> 00:00:58,009
and to my father,

16
00:00:58,019 --> 00:01:00,160
that the elderson affair

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:00,579
was over,

18
00:01:00,590 --> 00:01:02,481
but the forsytes

19
00:01:02,491 --> 00:01:03,901
never give up.

20
00:01:04,102 --> 00:01:05,512
They just wait.

21
00:01:33,945 --> 00:01:36,465
Are you praying?

22
00:01:36,507 --> 00:01:37,456
No, of course not, duckie.

23
00:01:37,497 --> 00:01:37,837
It's cou�.

24
00:01:37,848 --> 00:01:39,817
It's what?

25
00:01:40,018 --> 00:01:41,138
La m�thode cou�.

26
00:01:41,158 --> 00:01:41,418
Emile cou�.

27
00:01:41,619 --> 00:01:43,169
You know, auto-suggestion,

28
00:01:43,209 --> 00:01:43,840
all about the subconscious.

29
00:01:43,850 --> 00:01:46,340
Haven't you read his book?

30
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,711
No.

31
00:01:47,731 --> 00:01:49,312
But it's the rage!

32
00:01:49,332 --> 00:01:50,083
Self-mastery by conscious

33
00:01:50,123 --> 00:01:50,232
auto-suggestion.

34
00:01:50,432 --> 00:01:53,595
What's that supposed to mean?

35
00:01:53,614 --> 00:01:54,034
Well, it sounds better

36
00:01:54,235 --> 00:01:54,754
in the french, I'll agree...

37
00:01:54,765 --> 00:01:56,855
oh, french.

38
00:01:56,876 --> 00:01:56,995
Yes.

39
00:01:57,005 --> 00:01:58,766
Michael and I went

40
00:01:58,786 --> 00:01:59,236
to one of his lectures.

41
00:01:59,246 --> 00:02:01,057
Very impressive.

42
00:02:01,258 --> 00:02:01,908
The idea is

43
00:02:01,947 --> 00:02:02,368
that all you have to do

44
00:02:02,387 --> 00:02:04,569
is repeat over and over again...

45
00:02:04,589 --> 00:02:05,609
"every day in every way,

46
00:02:05,639 --> 00:02:06,280
I'm getting better and better."

47
00:02:06,290 --> 00:02:08,510
Every day, in every way,

48
00:02:08,551 --> 00:02:09,081
I'm getting better and better.

49
00:02:09,091 --> 00:02:13,383
It's mumbo jumbo.

50
00:02:13,394 --> 00:02:14,823
No, dear. The repetition,

51
00:02:14,864 --> 00:02:15,423
it trains the subconscious mind.

52
00:02:15,465 --> 00:02:18,425
Don't you see?

53
00:02:18,466 --> 00:02:19,596
Then the mind directs the part

54
00:02:19,616 --> 00:02:20,296
that's ill to cure itself.

55
00:02:20,317 --> 00:02:23,313
Repetitious rubbish.

56
00:02:23,512 --> 00:02:26,508
Ill? You're not ill,

57
00:02:26,518 --> 00:02:26,710
are you?

58
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,270
Of course not, duckie,

59
00:02:28,289 --> 00:02:29,840
but it can affect

60
00:02:29,881 --> 00:02:30,895
anything physical,

61
00:02:31,096 --> 00:02:32,112
so I keep saying,

62
00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:33,122
"day by day,

63
00:02:33,152 --> 00:02:33,612
in every way,

64
00:02:33,653 --> 00:02:34,307
my baby's getting

65
00:02:34,508 --> 00:02:35,163
more and more male."

66
00:02:35,173 --> 00:02:36,848
But what you mustn't say

67
00:02:37,049 --> 00:02:38,725
is, "I will have a boy."

68
00:02:38,765 --> 00:02:41,196
Because this

69
00:02:41,216 --> 00:02:41,666
sets up a reaction.

70
00:02:41,676 --> 00:02:43,136
What you get

71
00:02:43,166 --> 00:02:43,436
is a girl.

72
00:02:43,466 --> 00:02:45,298
Or just as likely,

73
00:02:45,317 --> 00:02:45,528
you don'T.

74
00:02:45,577 --> 00:02:48,310
And another thing.

75
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:49,040
You tie knots

76
00:02:49,079 --> 00:02:49,439
in a piece of string

77
00:02:49,479 --> 00:02:50,189
and you count

78
00:02:50,391 --> 00:02:51,040
the number of times you repeat,

79
00:02:51,060 --> 00:02:52,700
day after day.

80
00:02:52,901 --> 00:02:54,551
It's very soothing.

81
00:02:54,592 --> 00:02:55,852
Or you can use beads.

82
00:02:55,892 --> 00:02:56,922
Like a rosary?

83
00:02:56,932 --> 00:02:58,754
Yes.

84
00:02:58,794 --> 00:03:00,354
You mean to tell me you believe

85
00:03:00,375 --> 00:03:00,854
in all this nonsense?

86
00:03:00,895 --> 00:03:03,555
I don't know,

87
00:03:03,607 --> 00:03:04,517
but you remember telling me

88
00:03:04,716 --> 00:03:04,817
about your father

89
00:03:05,016 --> 00:03:06,367
how he never went to bed

90
00:03:06,407 --> 00:03:06,967
without saying his prayers?

91
00:03:07,007 --> 00:03:09,469
Well, did he believe in it?

92
00:03:09,508 --> 00:03:11,110
I never asked him,

93
00:03:11,119 --> 00:03:12,585
but I imagine he thought that

94
00:03:12,785 --> 00:03:14,251
if there was something in it,

95
00:03:14,261 --> 00:03:15,356
he might as well

96
00:03:15,555 --> 00:03:16,652
get the benefit.

97
00:03:16,662 --> 00:03:18,493
Exactly.

98
00:03:18,512 --> 00:03:19,824
Well,

99
00:03:19,833 --> 00:03:20,123
as I told you,

100
00:03:20,153 --> 00:03:21,184
I don't care

101
00:03:21,204 --> 00:03:21,524
if it is a girl.

102
00:03:21,554 --> 00:03:23,625
I know, duckie,

103
00:03:23,664 --> 00:03:24,185
but michael does.

104
00:03:24,215 --> 00:03:27,796
Yes. So does that baronet chap

105
00:03:27,817 --> 00:03:28,287
too, I shouldn't wonder.

106
00:03:28,487 --> 00:03:30,869
Oh, is michael in?

107
00:03:30,889 --> 00:03:31,349
No, not yet,

108
00:03:31,548 --> 00:03:32,079
but I'll order tea now.

109
00:03:32,089 --> 00:03:34,970
No, I'll do it.

110
00:03:40,302 --> 00:03:44,095
Good old wilfrid.

111
00:03:44,115 --> 00:03:46,196
Do you know, miss perren,

112
00:03:46,215 --> 00:03:47,276
I really do think these are

113
00:03:47,286 --> 00:03:47,796
better than copper coin.

114
00:03:47,816 --> 00:03:50,837
What do you think?

115
00:03:50,868 --> 00:03:51,603
Well, I should

116
00:03:51,802 --> 00:03:52,538
call them...outr�?

117
00:03:52,568 --> 00:03:54,299
Well, they're outr� enough

118
00:03:54,329 --> 00:03:55,010
for the highbrow critics,

119
00:03:55,029 --> 00:04:00,302
but they're strange too,

120
00:04:00,502 --> 00:04:01,722
and to be strange,

121
00:04:01,731 --> 00:04:02,393
you've got to have guts.

122
00:04:02,403 --> 00:04:04,213
If you'll excuse the phrase,

123
00:04:04,243 --> 00:04:04,553
miss perren.

124
00:04:04,593 --> 00:04:06,764
Certainly, mr. Mont.

125
00:04:06,785 --> 00:04:07,124
Thank you.

126
00:04:07,145 --> 00:04:09,166
Is this all?

127
00:04:09,195 --> 00:04:09,666
Yes, for now.

128
00:04:09,706 --> 00:04:11,716
Oh, make sure

129
00:04:11,917 --> 00:04:12,872
that trade journal advert

130
00:04:13,073 --> 00:04:14,027
goes off today, will you?

131
00:04:14,228 --> 00:04:14,668
I'll let you see it

132
00:04:14,708 --> 00:04:15,018
before it goes.

133
00:04:15,218 --> 00:04:16,429
Thanks.

134
00:04:16,629 --> 00:04:18,571
Will you see bicket now?

135
00:04:18,620 --> 00:04:20,150
Oh, help.

136
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,452
Yes, I suppose so.

137
00:04:22,472 --> 00:04:24,993
Hello, bicket.

138
00:04:25,023 --> 00:04:26,723
Keeping well, sir?

139
00:04:26,743 --> 00:04:27,684
Frightfully well.

140
00:04:27,734 --> 00:04:27,884
Thanks.

141
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:29,595
I suppose you've come

142
00:04:29,635 --> 00:04:30,636
about that loan

143
00:04:30,645 --> 00:04:31,196
i gave your wife.

144
00:04:31,235 --> 00:04:32,566
It's quite all right,

145
00:04:32,586 --> 00:04:33,196
you know. I can wait.

146
00:04:33,236 --> 00:04:36,278
Australia's a good idea.

147
00:04:36,288 --> 00:04:37,439
I should think

148
00:04:37,459 --> 00:04:38,109
the sooner you go there,

149
00:04:38,139 --> 00:04:40,109
the better.

150
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:40,840
Mrs. Bicket

151
00:04:40,859 --> 00:04:41,511
doesn't look too strong.

152
00:04:41,550 --> 00:04:45,573
You...you've been a good sort

153
00:04:45,722 --> 00:04:46,198
to me,

154
00:04:46,397 --> 00:04:46,673
and, well,

155
00:04:46,872 --> 00:04:47,523
it's hard to say things.

156
00:04:47,553 --> 00:04:49,924
Then don'T.

157
00:04:49,954 --> 00:04:50,690
It's not what you think.

158
00:04:50,890 --> 00:04:51,625
I want the truth, mr. Mont.

159
00:04:51,664 --> 00:04:55,536
I picked this up

160
00:04:55,567 --> 00:04:55,806
downstairs,

161
00:04:55,817 --> 00:04:58,188
off one

162
00:04:58,388 --> 00:04:58,687
of your books.

163
00:04:58,889 --> 00:04:59,709
There.

164
00:04:59,719 --> 00:05:00,038
Is that my wife?

165
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:03,411
I was right, wasn't I?

166
00:05:03,430 --> 00:05:05,620
That's her face, isn't it?

167
00:05:05,632 --> 00:05:06,242
Painted by that aubrey greene.

168
00:05:06,282 --> 00:05:08,923
And if that's her face,

169
00:05:08,943 --> 00:05:09,763
then it's her body too,

170
00:05:09,773 --> 00:05:10,224
in that blasted gallery

171
00:05:10,243 --> 00:05:11,824
for anyone to have a look

172
00:05:11,834 --> 00:05:12,125
a bob a time.

173
00:05:12,144 --> 00:05:13,625
What's it mean, eh?

174
00:05:13,645 --> 00:05:14,135
What's she been up to?

175
00:05:14,145 --> 00:05:14,991
You better tell me,

176
00:05:15,190 --> 00:05:16,036
or so help me...

177
00:05:16,046 --> 00:05:17,667
steady now, bicket!

178
00:05:17,687 --> 00:05:18,337
Steady, is it?

179
00:05:18,357 --> 00:05:18,907
You'd be steady if your wife...

180
00:05:18,917 --> 00:05:22,570
all that money...

181
00:05:22,599 --> 00:05:23,940
you never gave it to her, never,

182
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:24,650
so don't tell me you did.

183
00:05:24,659 --> 00:05:26,750
I lent her 10 pounds

184
00:05:26,771 --> 00:05:27,242
to make up the round sum.

185
00:05:27,271 --> 00:05:30,763
The rest she earned, honorably,

186
00:05:30,772 --> 00:05:33,064
and you ought to be proud

187
00:05:33,075 --> 00:05:33,264
of her.

188
00:05:33,274 --> 00:05:34,384
Proud? My god!

189
00:05:34,425 --> 00:05:34,865
How did she earn it, eh?

190
00:05:34,875 --> 00:05:36,955
As a model, sitting to

191
00:05:36,986 --> 00:05:37,396
my friend, mr. Greene,

192
00:05:37,436 --> 00:05:39,507
and other painters.

193
00:05:39,537 --> 00:05:41,208
You know what a model is?

194
00:05:41,218 --> 00:05:42,178
Models? Painters?

195
00:05:42,188 --> 00:05:44,123
Yes, I've heard of them.

196
00:05:44,325 --> 00:05:46,260
Swine, that's what they are.

197
00:05:46,460 --> 00:05:46,539
All swine!

198
00:05:46,570 --> 00:05:49,122
Look, I was...

199
00:05:49,151 --> 00:05:51,222
I was stuck on her,

200
00:05:51,253 --> 00:05:51,893
and she's put this up on me.

201
00:05:51,902 --> 00:05:55,993
You were stuck on her,

202
00:05:56,004 --> 00:05:57,125
and when she does her best

203
00:05:57,154 --> 00:05:57,735
to help you, you turn her down.

204
00:05:57,745 --> 00:06:00,335
Is that it?

205
00:06:00,367 --> 00:06:02,237
Do you suppose

206
00:06:02,277 --> 00:06:03,258
she liked doing it?

207
00:06:03,457 --> 00:06:04,438
How should I know?

208
00:06:04,448 --> 00:06:05,389
Come off it, bicket.

209
00:06:05,588 --> 00:06:08,510
Do you happen to remember

210
00:06:08,530 --> 00:06:09,020
what you did for her?

211
00:06:09,030 --> 00:06:13,002
You never told her that?

212
00:06:13,201 --> 00:06:14,122
No, but I will

213
00:06:14,143 --> 00:06:15,413
if you don't pull yourself

214
00:06:15,613 --> 00:06:15,824
together.

215
00:06:15,844 --> 00:06:17,864
What does it matter

216
00:06:17,895 --> 00:06:17,994
now?

217
00:06:18,014 --> 00:06:19,935
When I think of her...

218
00:06:19,944 --> 00:06:20,415
lying like that, naked,

219
00:06:20,616 --> 00:06:25,118
for all the men

220
00:06:25,317 --> 00:06:25,718
in the world to see,

221
00:06:25,728 --> 00:06:27,539
and getting 50 quid

222
00:06:27,559 --> 00:06:27,748
for it.

223
00:06:27,758 --> 00:06:28,948
50 quid!

224
00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:29,620
Do you think I believe

225
00:06:29,819 --> 00:06:30,479
that was earned honest?

226
00:06:30,501 --> 00:06:31,851
You don't believe it

227
00:06:31,871 --> 00:06:32,321
because you're ignorant.

228
00:06:32,331 --> 00:06:34,012
A girl can do

229
00:06:34,031 --> 00:06:34,292
what she did

230
00:06:34,321 --> 00:06:35,458
and still remain

231
00:06:35,657 --> 00:06:36,794
perfectly honest,

232
00:06:36,813 --> 00:06:38,223
as I haven't the faintest doubt

233
00:06:38,243 --> 00:06:38,483
she is.

234
00:06:38,524 --> 00:06:40,094
She did it

235
00:06:40,125 --> 00:06:40,794
because she couldn't bear

236
00:06:40,804 --> 00:06:41,994
to see you selling balloons

237
00:06:42,025 --> 00:06:42,295
in the gutter.

238
00:06:42,315 --> 00:06:46,007
She wanted to get you out,

239
00:06:46,017 --> 00:06:46,467
give you both a chance,

240
00:06:46,487 --> 00:06:48,107
and now that you've got

241
00:06:48,138 --> 00:06:48,708
the chance she's given you,

242
00:06:48,738 --> 00:06:49,723
all you want to do

243
00:06:49,924 --> 00:06:50,909
is kick her down.

244
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,149
That's all very well,

245
00:06:52,159 --> 00:06:52,710
but it hasn't happened to you.

246
00:06:52,750 --> 00:06:55,072
No, but I'll tell you this.

247
00:06:55,271 --> 00:06:56,762
If she cared to,

248
00:06:56,772 --> 00:06:57,422
your wife could make

249
00:06:57,452 --> 00:06:58,012
good money for herself now,

250
00:06:58,052 --> 00:06:58,839
enough to keep herself

251
00:06:59,038 --> 00:06:59,823
decently and enjoy life.

252
00:06:59,863 --> 00:07:02,224
Well, most girls who found

253
00:07:02,254 --> 00:07:04,175
themselves in her position

254
00:07:04,185 --> 00:07:04,575
wouldn't think twice

255
00:07:04,585 --> 00:07:04,925
about it.

256
00:07:04,956 --> 00:07:06,337
They'd ditch you

257
00:07:06,366 --> 00:07:06,797
in 60 seconds flat.

258
00:07:06,816 --> 00:07:08,938
Why didn't she tell me?

259
00:07:08,957 --> 00:07:10,648
Why didn't you tell her

260
00:07:10,848 --> 00:07:12,539
about stealing books?

261
00:07:19,582 --> 00:07:21,493
Oh, look here, bicket.

262
00:07:21,514 --> 00:07:24,754
There's really

263
00:07:24,805 --> 00:07:25,265
only one question.

264
00:07:25,305 --> 00:07:26,720
Have you any reason to doubt

265
00:07:26,921 --> 00:07:28,335
your wife's love for you?

266
00:07:28,357 --> 00:07:31,737
I've only seen her twice,

267
00:07:31,747 --> 00:07:32,139
and I don't,

268
00:07:32,158 --> 00:07:34,149
and if she loves you,

269
00:07:34,159 --> 00:07:34,850
she wouldn't do you down.

270
00:07:34,859 --> 00:07:37,531
How do I know?

271
00:07:37,731 --> 00:07:37,930
How do I know that?

272
00:07:38,131 --> 00:07:41,552
You've just got to trust her,

273
00:07:41,572 --> 00:07:41,883
bicket.

274
00:07:41,932 --> 00:07:45,864
We all of us

275
00:07:45,874 --> 00:07:46,495
have to do that sometimes.

276
00:07:46,524 --> 00:07:48,395
You've just got

277
00:07:48,425 --> 00:07:49,096
to believe in her, that's all.

278
00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:52,673
Well, if you can't do that,

279
00:07:52,872 --> 00:07:56,409
if you can't bring yourself

280
00:07:56,449 --> 00:07:57,010
to do that, then I'm sorry,

281
00:07:57,039 --> 00:08:00,621
but you're not much of a man.

282
00:08:00,650 --> 00:08:05,123
Bicket...

283
00:08:21,291 --> 00:08:23,050
Oh, don't clear yet, coaker.

284
00:08:23,092 --> 00:08:24,282
Mr. Mont will want

285
00:08:24,302 --> 00:08:24,622
some fresh tea.

286
00:08:24,642 --> 00:08:25,852
Yes, madam. This letter just

287
00:08:25,882 --> 00:08:26,352
arrived for mr. Forsyte...

288
00:08:26,372 --> 00:08:29,664
sent round

289
00:08:29,694 --> 00:08:30,064
from your club, sir.

290
00:08:30,104 --> 00:08:31,064
Sir?

291
00:08:31,075 --> 00:08:34,156
What? Oh. Ye

292
00:08:34,356 --> 00:08:34,807
Bart, will you be

293
00:08:34,836 --> 00:08:35,407
staying for supper?

294
00:08:35,437 --> 00:08:37,678
If I may,

295
00:08:37,698 --> 00:08:38,438
if you don't mind

296
00:08:38,458 --> 00:08:38,978
my not changing.

297
00:08:38,999 --> 00:08:40,479
Not a bit. But I'd better

298
00:08:40,489 --> 00:08:40,980
have a word with cook.

299
00:08:51,004 --> 00:08:52,099
Hello, my darling.

300
00:08:52,299 --> 00:08:53,396
Hello, michael.

301
00:08:53,415 --> 00:08:55,275
Two prehistoric hats?

302
00:08:55,286 --> 00:08:56,141
Both parents?

303
00:08:56,340 --> 00:08:56,819
Mm-hm, both,

304
00:08:57,019 --> 00:08:57,496
and for dinner.

305
00:08:57,526 --> 00:08:58,798
Go and and have a word

306
00:08:58,997 --> 00:08:59,007
with them.

307
00:08:59,027 --> 00:09:00,708
I'd rather talk to you.

308
00:09:00,719 --> 00:09:02,079
Later.

309
00:09:02,099 --> 00:09:02,809
Are you all right?

310
00:09:02,829 --> 00:09:03,009
Rather.

311
00:09:03,030 --> 00:09:06,201
Good evening, sir.

312
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,751
Hello, bart. Nice to see you.

313
00:09:08,771 --> 00:09:11,253
Well, the fat's in the fire

314
00:09:11,303 --> 00:09:11,813
with a vengeance now, mont.

315
00:09:12,013 --> 00:09:14,134
Hm? Why?

316
00:09:14,144 --> 00:09:16,325
Your precious school chum,

317
00:09:16,526 --> 00:09:16,735
elderson.

318
00:09:16,745 --> 00:09:19,037
He's levanted,

319
00:09:19,057 --> 00:09:19,777
skipped

320
00:09:19,807 --> 00:09:20,037
the country.

321
00:09:20,058 --> 00:09:20,427
What?

322
00:09:20,627 --> 00:09:21,108
I don't believe...

323
00:09:21,128 --> 00:09:22,948
listen to this.

324
00:09:22,958 --> 00:09:23,449
"My dear mr. Forsyte,

325
00:09:23,459 --> 00:09:24,139
I'm on my way to immunity

326
00:09:24,158 --> 00:09:25,630
"from the consequences

327
00:09:25,830 --> 00:09:26,179
of any peccadillo

328
00:09:26,210 --> 00:09:27,551
"I may have been guilty of.

329
00:09:27,570 --> 00:09:28,451
"By the time

330
00:09:28,461 --> 00:09:28,840
this reaches you,

331
00:09:29,041 --> 00:09:30,752
"I shall be

332
00:09:30,772 --> 00:09:31,162
out of the country.

333
00:09:31,172 --> 00:09:32,063
"If your object

334
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:32,622
was to corner me,

335
00:09:32,642 --> 00:09:33,593
"I cannot congratulate you

336
00:09:33,633 --> 00:09:33,943
on your tactics.

337
00:09:34,143 --> 00:09:36,134
"If on the other hand,

338
00:09:36,145 --> 00:09:37,005
"you intended butterfield's

339
00:09:37,035 --> 00:09:37,564
visit as a warning

340
00:09:37,585 --> 00:09:39,266
"that you were still

341
00:09:39,286 --> 00:09:39,666
pursuing the matter,

342
00:09:39,685 --> 00:09:42,056
"I should like to add new thanks

343
00:09:42,156 --> 00:09:42,247

"which I expressed

345
00:09:43,458 --> 00:09:44,068

"Believe me, dear

347
00:09:46,249 --> 00:09:46,780
faithfully yours,

348

robert elderson."

349
00:09:48,339 --> 00:09:49,690
Well, I'm damned.

350
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:50,590
Well, happy release.

351
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,070
You're well rid of him.

352
00:09:51,272 --> 00:09:52,722
It's a pretty

353
00:09:52,762 --> 00:09:53,052
kettle of fish.

354
00:09:53,072 --> 00:09:54,077
Where it'll end,

355
00:09:54,278 --> 00:09:55,073
I can't tell.

356
00:09:55,272 --> 00:09:56,334
But this isn't this

357
00:09:56,344 --> 00:09:56,623
the end, sir?

358
00:09:56,664 --> 00:09:58,094
The end?

359
00:09:58,114 --> 00:09:59,225
Well, here's his confession

360
00:09:59,275 --> 00:09:59,636
in my hand.

361
00:09:59,675 --> 00:10:01,035
Why not tear it up?

362
00:10:01,045 --> 00:10:01,897
Say elderson's developed

363
00:10:01,916 --> 00:10:02,606
consumption or something?

364
00:10:02,626 --> 00:10:04,588
You think

365
00:10:04,787 --> 00:10:05,447
that would be honorable?

366
00:10:05,479 --> 00:10:06,968
I'm sorry, sir.

367
00:10:06,998 --> 00:10:08,654
May I?

368
00:10:08,854 --> 00:10:10,509
What? Yes.

369
00:10:16,553 --> 00:10:18,704
Can I help, sir?

370
00:10:18,714 --> 00:10:20,235
Avoid frivolity, if you can,

371
00:10:20,245 --> 00:10:20,705
and keep it to yourself.

372
00:10:20,715 --> 00:10:23,716
I don't want fleur worried.

373
00:10:23,915 --> 00:10:25,367
That's all right, sir.

374
00:10:25,406 --> 00:10:26,938
I'll dutch oyster

375
00:10:26,957 --> 00:10:27,278
the whole thing.

376
00:10:27,288 --> 00:10:27,968
Here. Well, forsyte,

377
00:10:28,018 --> 00:10:28,478
what do you think?

378
00:10:28,498 --> 00:10:32,471
Constantinople?

379
00:10:32,670 --> 00:10:33,660
Monte carlo, more like.

380
00:10:33,671 --> 00:10:40,163
Secret commission,

381
00:10:40,173 --> 00:10:40,993
it's not

382
00:10:41,014 --> 00:10:41,664
an extraditable offense.

383
00:10:41,694 --> 00:10:42,934
I should think he's really gone

384
00:10:42,944 --> 00:10:43,395
to escape his women.

385
00:10:43,415 --> 00:10:47,276
Women?

386
00:10:47,306 --> 00:10:48,177
I understand

387
00:10:48,186 --> 00:10:48,437
he kept two.

388
00:10:48,457 --> 00:10:50,277
I should say

389
00:10:50,309 --> 00:10:50,678
that's one too many.

390
00:10:50,698 --> 00:10:52,749
I said the fat was in the fire

391
00:10:52,769 --> 00:10:53,080
and I meant it.

392
00:10:53,119 --> 00:10:55,490
Surely, my dear fellow,

393
00:10:55,511 --> 00:10:56,730
it's been there ever since

394
00:10:56,740 --> 00:10:57,351
the french occupied the ruhr.

395
00:10:57,371 --> 00:10:59,923
Elderson's cut is lucky.

396
00:10:59,943 --> 00:11:00,643
We appoint a new manager.

397
00:11:00,843 --> 00:11:02,068
What more can we do?

398
00:11:02,268 --> 00:11:03,493
I don't want a scandal

399
00:11:03,535 --> 00:11:04,004
any more than you do,

400
00:11:04,014 --> 00:11:06,756
but we have conclusive evidence

401
00:11:06,945 --> 00:11:06,956
of a fraud.

402
00:11:07,146 --> 00:11:08,100
We know elderson

403
00:11:08,302 --> 00:11:09,057
was illegally paid

404
00:11:09,256 --> 00:11:10,707
for putting through business

405
00:11:10,748 --> 00:11:11,458
by which the shareholders

406
00:11:11,658 --> 00:11:12,208
have suffered a complete loss.

407
00:11:12,238 --> 00:11:13,758
How can we keep this knowledge

408
00:11:13,768 --> 00:11:14,118
from them?

409
00:11:14,150 --> 00:11:15,710
But the mischief's done, sir.

410
00:11:15,749 --> 00:11:17,390
How will the knowledge

411
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:17,570
help them?

412
00:11:17,771 --> 00:11:20,022
I will not undertake

413
00:11:20,221 --> 00:11:22,472
the responsibilities

414
00:11:22,672 --> 00:11:22,793
of concealment.

415
00:11:22,812 --> 00:11:24,934
Well, we'd be accessories

416
00:11:24,964 --> 00:11:25,073
after the fact.

417
00:11:25,274 --> 00:11:27,635
It might come out at any time.

418
00:11:27,665 --> 00:11:28,380
Hmm. I should be glad

419
00:11:28,581 --> 00:11:29,296
to spare elderson's name.

420
00:11:29,496 --> 00:11:32,138
After all, we were

421
00:11:32,177 --> 00:11:32,608
at winchester together.

422
00:11:32,618 --> 00:11:34,438
Yes, I'm aware of that.

423
00:11:34,488 --> 00:11:36,479
But what risk is there

424
00:11:36,499 --> 00:11:36,849
of its coming out?

425
00:11:36,859 --> 00:11:38,519
Elderson

426
00:11:38,530 --> 00:11:38,699
won't mention it,

427
00:11:38,901 --> 00:11:39,920
nor will young butterfield

428
00:11:39,941 --> 00:11:41,021
if you tell him not to.

429
00:11:41,222 --> 00:11:42,101
No, and those who paid

430
00:11:42,302 --> 00:11:42,962
the commission certainly won'T.

431
00:11:42,992 --> 00:11:44,512
So beyond

432
00:11:44,712 --> 00:11:45,123
the three of us here,

433
00:11:45,143 --> 00:11:46,834
nobody knows.

434
00:11:46,854 --> 00:11:47,863
And it's not as if

435
00:11:47,885 --> 00:11:48,234
we profited by it.

436
00:11:48,255 --> 00:11:50,336
No. It won't do.

437
00:11:50,355 --> 00:11:52,536
Out from the law,

438
00:11:52,556 --> 00:11:53,246
and you'll never know

439
00:11:53,256 --> 00:11:54,643
where you'll finish up.

440
00:11:54,842 --> 00:11:55,659
The shareholders have

441
00:11:55,860 --> 00:11:56,678
suffered a loss by this,

442
00:11:56,718 --> 00:11:58,649
and they have a right

443
00:11:58,658 --> 00:11:59,150
to every fact

444
00:11:59,170 --> 00:12:00,491
within the directors'

445
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:00,790
knowledge.

446
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,051
They may have some form

447
00:12:02,070 --> 00:12:02,461
of restitution,

448
00:12:02,471 --> 00:12:04,012
even financial remedy

449
00:12:04,211 --> 00:12:05,752
against ourselves.

450
00:12:05,782 --> 00:12:08,993
If that's so,

451
00:12:09,035 --> 00:12:09,194
forsyte,

452
00:12:09,234 --> 00:12:10,804
I'm with you.

453
00:12:10,835 --> 00:12:14,156
I take it that you'll support

454
00:12:14,356 --> 00:12:14,756
a proposal to the board

455
00:12:14,956 --> 00:12:16,837
that we hold

456
00:12:16,868 --> 00:12:17,318
a shareholder's meeting.

457
00:12:17,348 --> 00:12:18,378
I will, of course,

458
00:12:18,398 --> 00:12:18,818
if you think we must.

459
00:12:18,828 --> 00:12:21,049
I do.

460
00:12:21,069 --> 00:12:27,382
I don't know

461
00:12:27,582 --> 00:12:28,133
what we're coming to.

462
00:12:28,332 --> 00:12:28,683
Well, if we did, sir,

463
00:12:28,883 --> 00:12:29,483
shouldn't we all die of boredom?

464
00:12:29,683 --> 00:12:33,579
Speak for yourself.

465
00:12:33,781 --> 00:12:37,677
All this unreliability.

466
00:12:37,697 --> 00:12:39,137
It's a symptom of the age.

467
00:12:39,167 --> 00:12:40,378
There's no moral stamina,

468
00:12:40,398 --> 00:12:40,578
no grit.

469
00:12:40,598 --> 00:12:43,690
Well, I'm no judge of morals...

470
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:46,090
but as for grit,

471
00:12:46,111 --> 00:12:46,561
I don't agree with you.

472
00:12:46,571 --> 00:12:49,972
Oh?

473
00:12:50,173 --> 00:12:50,853
Look at butterfield

474
00:12:51,053 --> 00:12:51,733
standing up to elderson

475
00:12:51,763 --> 00:12:54,004
the other day.

476
00:12:54,014 --> 00:12:55,634
Look at the unemployed.

477
00:12:55,656 --> 00:12:56,180
How they stick it,

478
00:12:56,380 --> 00:12:56,906
I can't imagine.

479
00:12:56,926 --> 00:12:59,698
What about that girl?

480
00:12:59,897 --> 00:13:01,238
What girl?

481
00:13:01,277 --> 00:13:01,508
Mrs. Bicket.

482
00:13:01,528 --> 00:13:02,618
Husband down end out,

483
00:13:02,628 --> 00:13:03,078
so what does she do?

484
00:13:03,098 --> 00:13:04,889
Give up? Not on your life.

485
00:13:04,899 --> 00:13:06,220
She gets herself a job modeling

486
00:13:06,239 --> 00:13:06,960
and earns enough

487
00:13:06,970 --> 00:13:07,560
to take them both to australia.

488
00:13:07,590 --> 00:13:09,211
Wouldn't you say

489
00:13:09,411 --> 00:13:09,991
that took some courage, sir?

490
00:13:21,006 --> 00:13:22,317
You've been a long time.

491
00:13:22,347 --> 00:13:24,778
Yeah, well,

492
00:13:24,798 --> 00:13:25,949
I nearly didn't

493
00:13:25,969 --> 00:13:26,318
come home at all.

494
00:13:31,351 --> 00:13:33,623
I see you know, then.

495
00:13:33,643 --> 00:13:35,063
I know you've been

496
00:13:35,073 --> 00:13:35,563
making a show of yourself

497
00:13:35,583 --> 00:13:36,904
all over london.

498
00:13:36,914 --> 00:13:37,364
I want to hear the rest.

499
00:13:37,384 --> 00:13:39,605
The rest?

500
00:13:39,635 --> 00:13:40,556
What else have you been

501
00:13:40,755 --> 00:13:40,856
getting up to?

502
00:13:41,055 --> 00:13:42,106
The whole

503
00:13:42,136 --> 00:13:42,255
bleeding story,

504
00:13:42,457 --> 00:13:42,956
and don't give me no lies

505
00:13:43,156 --> 00:13:45,712
for I won't stand for it.

506
00:13:45,913 --> 00:13:48,470
If you believe there's any

507
00:13:48,669 --> 00:13:48,949
more...that's enough.

508
00:13:48,969 --> 00:13:51,070
Oh, for god's sake.

509
00:13:51,271 --> 00:13:53,476
Don't be mysterious.

510
00:13:53,676 --> 00:13:55,384
I'm half off me nut!

511
00:13:55,584 --> 00:13:57,294
Yes, I can see that,

512
00:13:57,313 --> 00:14:00,604
and I can see this.

513
00:14:00,614 --> 00:14:02,105
You're not what

514
00:14:02,125 --> 00:14:02,485
i thought you are.

515
00:14:02,686 --> 00:14:07,447
Do you think

516
00:14:07,478 --> 00:14:07,818
i liked doing it?

517
00:14:07,828 --> 00:14:10,449
Do you think I wanted

518
00:14:10,479 --> 00:14:10,749
to stand there

519
00:14:10,779 --> 00:14:12,399
with my clothes off?

520
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,132
Here.

521
00:14:17,142 --> 00:14:18,202
It's honest money,

522
00:14:18,212 --> 00:14:18,633
all of it.

523
00:14:18,643 --> 00:14:20,743
Take it. Go to australia

524
00:14:20,943 --> 00:14:21,689
without me.

525
00:14:21,890 --> 00:14:22,635
And leave you

526
00:14:22,644 --> 00:14:23,265
to them bleeding painters?

527
00:14:23,295 --> 00:14:25,075
And leave me to myself.

528
00:14:25,106 --> 00:14:27,246
Take it.

529
00:14:27,258 --> 00:14:30,578
Not me.

530
00:14:30,608 --> 00:14:32,809
Well, I

531
00:14:33,009 --> 00:14:35,460
I only earned that money

532
00:14:35,470 --> 00:14:35,991
to get you out of this hole.

533
00:14:36,021 --> 00:14:38,392
What, 50 quid?

534
00:14:38,432 --> 00:14:39,662
You expect me to believe

535
00:14:39,682 --> 00:14:40,142
they're going to pay you

536
00:14:40,343 --> 00:14:40,803
all that just for sitting...

537
00:14:40,813 --> 00:14:42,693
five shillings an hour.

538
00:14:42,724 --> 00:14:43,164
That's the rate of pay.

539
00:14:43,185 --> 00:14:45,975
Cleaning doorsteps

540
00:14:45,985 --> 00:14:46,405
is a shilling an hour,

541
00:14:46,435 --> 00:14:48,176
and I'd have done that

542
00:14:48,186 --> 00:14:48,806
if I'd been strong enough,

543
00:14:48,836 --> 00:14:51,108
or if I could have

544
00:14:51,138 --> 00:14:51,457
found the work.

545
00:14:51,468 --> 00:14:55,010
I'd have done anything...

546
00:14:55,049 --> 00:14:55,590
except one thing.

547
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:01,022
Vic, will you swear...

548
00:15:01,042 --> 00:15:06,235
swear to me

549
00:15:06,265 --> 00:15:06,865
you never let them touch you?

550
00:15:06,885 --> 00:15:11,197
Yes, I can swear that.

551
00:15:18,190 --> 00:15:20,541
Vic...

552
00:15:20,741 --> 00:15:23,092
vic...

553
00:15:23,112 --> 00:15:26,834
when you were ill...

554
00:15:26,844 --> 00:15:27,314
I stole for you.

555
00:15:27,324 --> 00:15:33,947
God's truth, vic.

556
00:15:33,967 --> 00:15:35,528
I got the sack for it.

557
00:15:35,537 --> 00:15:39,629
What did you steal?

558
00:15:39,830 --> 00:15:41,390
Books.

559
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,492
All your extra feeding

560
00:15:43,501 --> 00:15:43,741
was books.

561
00:15:51,745 --> 00:15:53,176
Tony...

562
00:15:53,196 --> 00:15:53,666
why didn't you tell me?

563
00:15:53,866 --> 00:15:56,857
I don't care, vic.

564
00:15:56,867 --> 00:16:00,589
I don't care about anything,

565
00:16:00,599 --> 00:16:00,989
so help me,

566
00:16:00,999 --> 00:16:04,520
so long as you're fond of me.

567
00:16:04,571 --> 00:16:07,912
Neither do I, tony.

568
00:16:08,112 --> 00:16:09,733
Let's get away from this town,

569
00:16:09,754 --> 00:16:10,034
this country.

570
00:16:10,073 --> 00:16:13,875
Let's get out of it all.

571
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:25,261
Oh, what do you look like?

572
00:16:25,290 --> 00:16:29,162
Are you all right,

573
00:16:29,203 --> 00:16:29,562
darling?

574
00:16:29,603 --> 00:16:30,622
Yes, of course, michael,

575
00:16:30,653 --> 00:16:31,213
but should you have left them?

576
00:16:31,413 --> 00:16:33,624
, Lord, yes.

577
00:16:33,645 --> 00:16:34,905
They're a funny old pair,

578
00:16:34,915 --> 00:16:35,941
chalk and cheese,

579
00:16:36,140 --> 00:16:37,166
but they get on

580
00:16:37,195 --> 00:16:37,446
pretty well.

581
00:16:37,455 --> 00:16:38,275
Are you sure

582
00:16:38,317 --> 00:16:38,636
you're not ailing?

583
00:16:38,667 --> 00:16:40,137
It's just the heat.

584
00:16:40,337 --> 00:16:42,588
Oh, michael,

585
00:16:42,628 --> 00:16:43,188
if it goes on being hot as this,

586
00:16:43,198 --> 00:16:46,090
the whole thing is going

587
00:16:46,130 --> 00:16:47,296
to be rather a bore.

588
00:16:47,496 --> 00:16:48,661
Oh, but it won'T.

589
00:16:48,861 --> 00:16:49,691
Three days

590
00:16:49,732 --> 00:16:50,092
and a thunderstorm,

591
00:16:50,131 --> 00:16:50,856
and you've got

592
00:16:51,058 --> 00:16:51,783
six weeks to go.

593
00:16:51,842 --> 00:16:54,473
Anyway, english summer.

594
00:16:54,484 --> 00:16:56,104
By that time,

595
00:16:56,114 --> 00:16:56,605
it'll probably be snowing.

596
00:16:56,634 --> 00:16:58,605
And as for you,

597
00:16:58,626 --> 00:16:58,976
nose out of joint,

598
00:16:58,996 --> 00:17:01,517
except

599
00:17:01,547 --> 00:17:01,978
there's no nose to put.

600
00:17:01,987 --> 00:17:06,119
Michael...

601
00:17:07,850 --> 00:17:08,679
I don't seem to care

602
00:17:08,710 --> 00:17:10,141
about anything now.

603
00:17:10,341 --> 00:17:11,772
It's a funny feeling.

604
00:17:11,782 --> 00:17:12,782
It's the weather.

605
00:17:12,982 --> 00:17:13,983
No. It's this whole business.

606
00:17:14,182 --> 00:17:14,463
It's too long.

607
00:17:14,483 --> 00:17:18,304
Everything's ready.

608
00:17:18,325 --> 00:17:20,136
Now it all seems rather stupid.

609
00:17:20,335 --> 00:17:22,146
One more person in the world,

610
00:17:22,176 --> 00:17:22,786
one more out of it...

611
00:17:22,796 --> 00:17:25,278
what does it matter?

612
00:17:25,298 --> 00:17:26,518
Don't, fleur. You mustn'T.

613
00:17:32,540 --> 00:17:35,563
Is wilfrid's book out yet?

614
00:17:35,572 --> 00:17:37,874
In a fortnight.

615
00:17:37,883 --> 00:17:40,935
I'm sorry I gave you

616
00:17:40,954 --> 00:17:42,345
such a bad time there.

617
00:17:42,546 --> 00:17:43,936
I only didn't want

618
00:17:43,955 --> 00:17:44,277
to lose him.

619
00:17:44,316 --> 00:17:45,676
Nor did I, goodness knows.

620
00:17:45,717 --> 00:17:50,460
He's never written,

621
00:17:50,469 --> 00:17:50,829
I suppose?

622
00:17:50,839 --> 00:17:52,290
No, no.

623
00:17:52,329 --> 00:17:54,061
Well, I expect he's over it

624
00:17:54,071 --> 00:17:54,261
by now.

625
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,492
Nothing lasts.

626
00:17:56,521 --> 00:18:01,504
I do.

627
00:18:01,514 --> 00:18:03,965
Oh, you...

628
00:18:04,165 --> 00:18:07,477
I'm not as good

629
00:18:07,497 --> 00:18:07,818
as you deserve.

630
00:18:07,847 --> 00:18:09,308
I think you are.

631
00:18:09,337 --> 00:18:11,519
No, I'm selfish,

632
00:18:11,559 --> 00:18:11,870
especially now.

633
00:18:12,069 --> 00:18:12,819
Oh, well,

634
00:18:12,859 --> 00:18:13,459
that's just the 11th baronet.

635
00:18:13,469 --> 00:18:15,290
Perhaps.

636
00:18:15,311 --> 00:18:17,931
I only hope he'll be like you.

637
00:18:17,961 --> 00:18:19,872
If he's like me,

638
00:18:20,072 --> 00:18:22,139
I shall disown him.

639
00:18:22,339 --> 00:18:24,404
Anyway, sons take after

640
00:18:24,424 --> 00:18:24,704
their mothers.

641
00:18:24,724 --> 00:18:26,245
I meant in character.

642
00:18:26,276 --> 00:18:27,376
I want him so much

643
00:18:27,396 --> 00:18:27,946
to be, well, cheerful,

644
00:18:27,986 --> 00:18:31,688
and not restless,

645
00:18:31,698 --> 00:18:34,268
to have the fethat life's worth.

646
00:18:34,469 --> 00:18:35,991
He will. We'll tell him.

647
00:18:36,010 --> 00:18:40,001
Michael, I don't want him greedy

648
00:18:40,011 --> 00:18:41,952
and self-centered

649
00:18:42,153 --> 00:18:44,094
like the forsytes.

650
00:18:44,124 --> 00:18:45,905
It's in my blood, you know.

651
00:18:45,924 --> 00:18:47,706
I know it's ugly

652
00:18:47,725 --> 00:18:48,114
and I can't help it,

653
00:18:48,124 --> 00:18:51,217
so he must be like you.

654
00:18:51,227 --> 00:18:54,117
How do you manage it?

655
00:18:54,138 --> 00:18:55,209
Do you think I'm not greedy?

656
00:18:55,408 --> 00:18:56,549
No, seriously.

657
00:18:56,589 --> 00:18:56,990
But I am.

658
00:18:57,009 --> 00:18:59,761
Look at the way I want you.

659
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,722
Nothing will ever cure me

660
00:19:01,922 --> 00:19:02,122
of that.

661
00:19:08,115 --> 00:19:10,016
Fleur...

662
00:19:10,026 --> 00:19:14,577
do you remember that day

663
00:19:14,627 --> 00:19:15,733
in the conservatory

664
00:19:15,932 --> 00:19:16,838
at mapledurham?

665
00:19:17,038 --> 00:19:19,450
You were there, and you said,

666
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,860
"come back

667
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:21,461
when I haven't got my wish."

668
00:19:21,471 --> 00:19:24,962
I remember.

669
00:19:24,982 --> 00:19:26,133
Do you know I thought

670
00:19:26,152 --> 00:19:26,732
that was the end of everything,

671
00:19:26,753 --> 00:19:28,774
and I was finished,

672
00:19:28,784 --> 00:19:29,274
not an earthly chance.

673
00:19:29,294 --> 00:19:32,044
I was a pig to you.

674
00:19:32,066 --> 00:19:33,106
Never.
Yes.

675
00:19:33,256 --> 00:19:34,607
But I was

676
00:19:34,646 --> 00:19:34,986
desperate.

677
00:19:34,996 --> 00:19:38,188
I know, my darling.

678
00:19:38,198 --> 00:19:40,029
But, michael, it's all gone.

679
00:19:40,059 --> 00:19:43,890
I want you to be

680
00:19:43,901 --> 00:19:44,361
quite sure of that.

681
00:19:44,382 --> 00:19:48,032
Yes, it's gone

682
00:19:48,062 --> 00:19:48,303
at last.

683
00:19:48,322 --> 00:19:52,134
There's nothing wrong now

684
00:19:52,165 --> 00:19:52,635
except my own nature.

685
00:19:55,186 --> 00:19:58,586
Well, if that's all...

686
00:19:58,598 --> 00:20:04,160
hop into bed now,

687
00:20:04,170 --> 00:20:04,360
darling.

688
00:20:04,370 --> 00:20:06,011
I'd better go down

689
00:20:06,210 --> 00:20:07,761
and feed those old parents

690
00:20:07,782 --> 00:20:08,031
some brandy.

691
00:20:08,042 --> 00:20:10,523
Well, mont,

692
00:20:10,722 --> 00:20:11,204
what do you think?

693
00:20:11,223 --> 00:20:15,135
It's a splendid work,

694
00:20:15,165 --> 00:20:15,305
but...

695
00:20:15,324 --> 00:20:19,047
yes, quite.

696
00:20:19,057 --> 00:20:20,547
I'm inclined

697
00:20:20,568 --> 00:20:20,938
to agree with you.

698
00:20:21,138 --> 00:20:22,858
Those eyes...

699
00:20:22,877 --> 00:20:23,739
exactly.

700
00:20:23,939 --> 00:20:25,039
You can't be too careful

701
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:25,389
at such times.

702
00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:27,691
I'm sure you're right.

703
00:20:27,711 --> 00:20:29,202
Well, if you'll

704
00:20:29,231 --> 00:20:29,761
give me a hand...

705
00:20:29,782 --> 00:20:30,732
certainly.

706
00:20:30,752 --> 00:20:31,162
If you'll hold him...

707
00:20:31,183 --> 00:20:33,073
no, you hold him.

708
00:20:33,084 --> 00:20:34,514
Ahair.

709
00:20:34,524 --> 00:20:34,653
Ah.

710
00:20:52,671 --> 00:20:55,102
Have you got it?

711
00:20:55,124 --> 00:20:57,434
Yes, yes, lower away.

712
00:20:57,634 --> 00:20:59,945
What on earth's going on?

713
00:20:59,976 --> 00:21:00,376
Your father thought...

714
00:21:00,386 --> 00:21:00,816
forsyte had an idea...

715
00:21:00,826 --> 00:21:03,317
oh, dear. I see.

716
00:21:03,327 --> 00:21:06,458
Wrong mood, eh?

717
00:21:06,478 --> 00:21:08,029
Yes, too pessimistic.

718
00:21:08,039 --> 00:21:08,889
Doesn't do for fleur

719
00:21:08,910 --> 00:21:10,270
to keep on looking at it.

720
00:21:10,470 --> 00:21:11,830
I hope you don't mind,

721
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:12,031
michael.

722
00:21:12,050 --> 00:21:13,231
Not at all, bart.

723
00:21:13,241 --> 00:21:14,032
It's very thoughtful

724
00:21:14,052 --> 00:21:14,292
of you both.

725
00:21:14,322 --> 00:21:15,813
Oh, thank you.

726
00:21:15,823 --> 00:21:16,833
Yes, well,

727
00:21:16,842 --> 00:21:17,524
put it away till it's over.

728
00:21:17,723 --> 00:21:20,544
Ah.

729
00:21:27,558 --> 00:21:30,188
Ah, here we are.

730
00:21:30,229 --> 00:21:32,490
Yes, you can say

731
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:33,260
i wanted an opinion

732
00:21:33,281 --> 00:21:33,940
on the period or something.

733
00:21:33,951 --> 00:21:35,902
Well, there's no doubt

734
00:21:35,932 --> 00:21:36,272
about that, sir...

735
00:21:36,282 --> 00:21:38,173
the present.

736
00:21:38,183 --> 00:21:39,163
What?

737
00:21:39,182 --> 00:21:39,613
No, thank you.

738
00:21:39,643 --> 00:21:41,794
Oh, yes.

739
00:21:41,995 --> 00:21:43,815
The greene chap.

740
00:21:43,825 --> 00:21:44,971
Was that it he said?

741
00:21:45,171 --> 00:21:46,317
Eat the fruits of life,

742
00:21:46,327 --> 00:21:46,916
scatter the rinds...

743
00:21:46,936 --> 00:21:49,559
and get copped

744
00:21:49,588 --> 00:21:49,797
doing it.

745
00:21:49,807 --> 00:21:50,999
Yeah.

746
00:21:51,199 --> 00:21:54,190
Well, there's elderson for you.

747
00:21:54,390 --> 00:21:57,382
Except he didn't get copped.

748
00:21:57,581 --> 00:22:02,944
That sort never do.

749
00:22:02,974 --> 00:22:04,344
Yeah.

750
00:22:04,354 --> 00:22:06,915
There's no justice.

751
00:22:06,936 --> 00:22:09,246
Well, michael, I must go.

752
00:22:09,287 --> 00:22:11,918
My regards to fl

753
00:22:11,938 --> 00:22:12,519
and thank her for me, will you,

754
00:22:12,538 --> 00:22:13,208
for an excellent dinner?

755
00:22:13,409 --> 00:22:15,390
Of course, bart.

756
00:22:15,410 --> 00:22:17,731
Well, forsyte,

757
00:22:17,751 --> 00:22:19,111
I expect you'd like me

758
00:22:19,311 --> 00:22:19,902
to break this news to fontenoy?

759
00:22:19,912 --> 00:22:24,044
Yes, if you would.

760
00:22:24,054 --> 00:22:25,074
He'll want the board to decide

761
00:22:25,105 --> 00:22:25,675
about calling the shareholders,

762
00:22:25,704 --> 00:22:28,446
but if you insist,

763
00:22:28,465 --> 00:22:28,745
they'll do it.

764
00:22:28,765 --> 00:22:31,486
Well, in that case,

765
00:22:31,516 --> 00:22:32,037
I shall have to insist.

766
00:22:32,237 --> 00:22:34,328
Good night.

767
00:22:35,348 --> 00:22:36,729
Good night.

768
00:22:36,739 --> 00:22:40,261
What about a cab,Bart?

769
00:22:40,451 --> 00:22:41,971
No, thanks.

770
00:22:41,981 --> 00:22:43,792
I'll pick one up.

771
00:22:43,992 --> 00:22:45,804
Thank you. Thank you.

772
00:22:45,843 --> 00:22:49,130
Well, good night.

773
00:22:49,330 --> 00:22:52,616
Good night, bart.

774
00:22:58,629 --> 00:23:01,430
Does your father realize

775
00:23:01,450 --> 00:23:01,971
the position we might be in?

776
00:23:01,981 --> 00:23:04,702
Probably.

777
00:23:04,722 --> 00:23:05,903
He's pretty bright,

778
00:23:05,912 --> 00:23:06,373
real

779
00:23:06,392 --> 00:23:07,064
though he doesn't approve

780
00:23:07,093 --> 00:23:07,443
of showing it.

781
00:23:07,472 --> 00:23:12,115
Of course, if the shareholders

782
00:23:12,125 --> 00:23:13,067
come down on us hard...

783
00:23:13,266 --> 00:23:13,940
they won't get much

784
00:23:14,141 --> 00:23:14,816
out of poor old bart.

785
00:23:14,836 --> 00:23:16,887
All he's got is land.

786
00:23:16,907 --> 00:23:17,958
Most of that's mortgaged

787
00:23:17,998 --> 00:23:18,358
or entailed.

788
00:23:18,378 --> 00:23:21,010
I dare say.

789
00:23:21,209 --> 00:23:22,019
My own assets are only too easy to realize.

790
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:27,313
So I've come to a decision.

791
00:23:27,322 --> 00:23:28,873
I'm going to settle another

792
00:23:28,913 --> 00:23:29,503
50,000 on fleur and the child.

793
00:23:29,522 --> 00:23:30,728
But, sir,

794
00:23:30,929 --> 00:23:32,134
should you?

795
00:23:32,165 --> 00:23:34,246
What else would I do with it?

796
00:23:34,255 --> 00:23:36,136
As long as I know she's all right,

797
00:23:36,467 --> 00:23:38,057
they can take all I've got.

798
00:23:38,066 --> 00:23:38,792
It can't come

799
00:23:38,993 --> 00:23:39,718
to that, sir.

800
00:23:39,738 --> 00:23:40,738
Probably not,

801
00:23:40,939 --> 00:23:42,059
but we have to be prepared

802
00:23:42,069 --> 00:23:42,359
for the worst.

803
00:23:42,369 --> 00:23:46,911
I shall want you to come down

804
00:23:46,931 --> 00:23:47,361
to the office next week.

805
00:23:47,381 --> 00:23:50,153
Whatever you say.

806
00:23:50,352 --> 00:23:51,873
Then I shall go to bed now.

807
00:23:55,196 --> 00:23:56,731
There'll be a storm,

808
00:23:56,930 --> 00:23:58,466
I shouldn't wonder.

809
00:23:58,666 --> 00:24:00,517
Sir?

810
00:24:00,667 --> 00:24:02,929
Is fleur's mother

811
00:24:02,938 --> 00:24:03,489
still living in paris?

812
00:24:03,508 --> 00:24:09,531
I believe so. Why?

813
00:24:09,571 --> 00:24:10,736
Well, forgive me, sir,

814
00:24:10,938 --> 00:24:12,103
but shouldn't she be here?

815
00:24:12,123 --> 00:24:14,904
No.

816
00:24:14,924 --> 00:24:17,615
Well, in that case, I wonder,

817
00:24:17,625 --> 00:24:18,375
would you mind

818
00:24:18,395 --> 00:24:18,916
if I asked mrs. Dartie?

819
00:24:18,936 --> 00:24:20,276
I mean,

820
00:24:20,306 --> 00:24:20,917
when fleur's time comes...

821
00:24:20,936 --> 00:24:22,018
she and fleur get on well

822
00:24:22,037 --> 00:24:22,417
together...

823
00:24:22,437 --> 00:24:23,348
I see. You think she should

824
00:24:23,388 --> 00:24:23,848
have another woman about?

825
00:24:23,888 --> 00:24:26,028
Well, yes.

826
00:24:26,038 --> 00:24:26,230
Well...

827
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,330
you may be right.

828
00:24:29,350 --> 00:24:30,721
I would never have thought

829
00:24:30,921 --> 00:24:31,131
to mention it myself,

830
00:24:31,151 --> 00:24:32,771
but...yes, I'm glad

831
00:24:32,802 --> 00:24:33,132
you brought it up.

832
00:24:33,152 --> 00:24:37,504
Yes.

833
00:24:37,524 --> 00:24:40,415
Good night.

834
00:24:40,425 --> 00:24:41,856
Good night, sir,

835
00:24:41,866 --> 00:24:42,157
and thank you.

836
00:25:04,816 --> 00:25:06,987
Fleur!

837
00:25:07,008 --> 00:25:10,999
Fleur, my darling,

838
00:25:11,029 --> 00:25:11,339
it's all right.

839
00:25:11,350 --> 00:25:13,761
All right, darling, all right.

840
00:25:13,781 --> 00:25:15,632
Michael, I was...

841
00:25:15,651 --> 00:25:15,971
I was dreaming.

842
00:25:15,993 --> 00:25:17,663
All right.

843
00:25:17,692 --> 00:25:18,672
It was horrible.

844
00:25:18,694 --> 00:25:19,954
All right, my darling.

845
00:25:19,964 --> 00:25:21,739
Oh, michael.

846
00:25:21,939 --> 00:25:23,715
Where's ting?

847
00:25:23,755 --> 00:25:25,471
He's under the bed, I bet.

848
00:25:25,671 --> 00:25:27,387
Oh, look, do you want him up?

849
00:25:27,407 --> 00:25:28,427
No, no.

850
00:25:28,458 --> 00:25:28,788
He hates thunder.

851
00:25:28,807 --> 00:25:32,699
I never liked it much

852
00:25:32,709 --> 00:25:33,190
myself, and now it hurts.

853
00:25:33,209 --> 00:25:36,030
Oh, darling. Shh.

854
00:25:36,071 --> 00:25:38,892
I wish

855
00:25:39,092 --> 00:25:39,432
it were all over.

856
00:25:39,462 --> 00:25:40,642
It will be soon. Come on.

857
00:25:40,663 --> 00:25:41,013
Back into bed.

858
00:25:47,026 --> 00:25:49,497
There you are.

859
00:25:49,697 --> 00:25:52,459
If I come through, I'm going

860
00:25:52,468 --> 00:25:53,029
to be quite different to you.

861
00:25:53,048 --> 00:25:54,830
Come through? Of course

862
00:25:54,849 --> 00:25:55,460
you'll come through. Oh...

863
00:25:55,489 --> 00:25:58,971
I'm afraid.

864
00:25:58,981 --> 00:25:59,871
You mustn't be, darling.

865
00:25:59,901 --> 00:26:00,142
You mustn'T.

866
00:26:00,151 --> 00:26:02,068
Look, sweetheart,

867
00:26:02,268 --> 00:26:04,183
you'll probably know

868
00:26:04,213 --> 00:26:04,543
nothing about it.

869
00:26:04,553 --> 00:26:06,174
This twilight

870
00:26:06,204 --> 00:26:06,485
sleep thing...

871
00:26:06,515 --> 00:26:07,415
I shan't have it

872
00:26:07,435 --> 00:26:08,135
if it's not good for him.

873
00:26:08,336 --> 00:26:10,447
I mean, is it?

874
00:26:10,476 --> 00:26:11,601
Everybody says it is.

875
00:26:11,802 --> 00:26:12,927
What makes you think

876
00:26:12,947 --> 00:26:13,217
it's not safe?

877
00:26:13,257 --> 00:26:14,128
Only that it isn't natural.

878
00:26:14,158 --> 00:26:14,779
I want to do it properly.

879
00:26:19,540 --> 00:26:21,901
Who's that?

880
00:26:21,941 --> 00:26:22,852
It's probably your father.

881
00:26:22,863 --> 00:26:23,053
Oh.

882
00:26:23,062 --> 00:26:25,114
All right, darling.

883
00:26:25,143 --> 00:26:30,516
Is she all right?

884
00:26:30,526 --> 00:26:31,716
Yes, yes. Don't worry.

885
00:26:31,756 --> 00:26:33,787
All this rumpus...

886
00:26:33,807 --> 00:26:34,217
she oughtn't be alone.

887
00:26:34,257 --> 00:26:36,359
She won't be.

888
00:26:36,379 --> 00:26:38,839
Well, call me

889
00:26:38,849 --> 00:26:39,230
if there's anything.

890
00:26:39,250 --> 00:26:41,540
Yes, I will.

891
00:26:56,557 --> 00:26:58,438
Every way in every day

892
00:26:58,448 --> 00:26:58,988
i'm getting better and better.

893
00:26:59,008 --> 00:27:04,702
No. Every day in every way,

894
00:27:04,722 --> 00:27:05,311
I'm getting better and better...

895
00:27:05,321 --> 00:27:09,483
every day in every way,

896
00:27:09,494 --> 00:27:10,104
I'm getting better and better.

897
00:27:10,144 --> 00:27:14,286
Better and better...

898
00:27:14,296 --> 00:27:18,627
oh, balderdash and bunkum!

899
00:27:27,641 --> 00:27:29,682
Aunt, dear. Should you?

900
00:27:29,883 --> 00:27:31,042
Before luncheon?

901
00:27:31,052 --> 00:27:32,028
No, perhaps not.

902
00:27:32,228 --> 00:27:32,786
But I do enjoy

903
00:27:32,986 --> 00:27:33,544
the mixing up part

904
00:27:33,584 --> 00:27:35,175
and the shaking.

905
00:27:35,194 --> 00:27:36,075
Now, you see, dear, this thing

906
00:27:36,106 --> 00:27:37,382
is called a shaker,

907
00:27:37,581 --> 00:27:38,856
so what do they call

908
00:27:38,897 --> 00:27:39,327
the person who does it?

909
00:27:39,337 --> 00:27:41,358
The shakee?

910
00:27:41,397 --> 00:27:41,518
Yes...

911
00:27:41,538 --> 00:27:43,519
what are you concocting?

912
00:27:43,719 --> 00:27:44,760
A ragger-jagger.

913
00:27:44,779 --> 00:27:45,030
A what?

914
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,120
It's oxford slang for rum jar.

915
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,030
You know,

916
00:27:47,050 --> 00:27:47,695
like the prince of wales.

917
00:27:47,896 --> 00:27:48,541
Oh, yes, the pragger wagger,

918
00:27:48,551 --> 00:27:50,912
and a wagger-pagger-bagger.

919
00:27:51,112 --> 00:27:53,474
Is a wastepaper basket.

920
00:27:53,513 --> 00:27:53,673
Exactly.

921
00:27:53,714 --> 00:27:57,025
Oh, now, let me see.

922
00:27:57,035 --> 00:27:58,025
Yes, I think

923
00:27:58,035 --> 00:27:58,455
it ought to be cooked.

924
00:27:58,465 --> 00:28:00,787
Now, would you try one?

925
00:28:00,826 --> 00:28:01,857
Oh, of course.

926
00:28:01,867 --> 00:28:04,659
Will you be seeing uncle soames?

927
00:28:04,679 --> 00:28:06,800
Yes, dear. Why?

928
00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:08,200
Well, you know old cousin george

929
00:28:08,230 --> 00:28:09,150
left his three race horses

930
00:28:09,351 --> 00:28:09,671
to val in his will?

931
00:28:09,691 --> 00:28:11,171
Yes, and 12,000 pounds

932
00:28:11,191 --> 00:28:11,752
to a very dubious lady indeed.

933
00:28:11,952 --> 00:28:14,273
It should have been

934
00:28:14,283 --> 00:28:14,773
the other way around.

935
00:28:14,792 --> 00:28:16,753
Here we are.

936
00:28:16,763 --> 00:28:23,117
Golly.

937
00:28:23,156 --> 00:28:24,392
Yes, well, you see, dear,

938
00:28:24,592 --> 00:28:25,828
the ingredients should be

939
00:28:25,848 --> 00:28:26,518
quite carefully measured.

940
00:28:26,549 --> 00:28:29,200
Let's have some sherry

941
00:28:29,219 --> 00:28:29,400
instead.

942
00:28:29,420 --> 00:28:32,330
Now, what about those horses?

943
00:28:32,371 --> 00:28:32,601
Well...

944
00:28:32,621 --> 00:28:36,233
val doesn't want to take them.

945
00:28:36,282 --> 00:28:37,012
Why not? Gift horse

946
00:28:37,214 --> 00:28:37,944
in the mouth, you know.

947
00:28:37,993 --> 00:28:39,745
Val says

948
00:28:39,784 --> 00:28:40,294
they're about 500 years old.

949
00:28:40,495 --> 00:28:41,955
Two are broken-winded,

950
00:28:42,156 --> 00:28:43,616
and the other falls down

951
00:28:43,636 --> 00:28:44,206
if you look at it.

952
00:28:44,407 --> 00:28:46,006
Poor thing.

953
00:28:46,208 --> 00:28:47,227
And he says that by the time

954
00:28:47,238 --> 00:28:47,728
he's paid legacy duty,

955
00:28:47,748 --> 00:28:51,129
boxed them off to a sale

956
00:28:51,149 --> 00:28:51,430
and sold them,

957
00:28:51,450 --> 00:28:53,040
he'll be

958
00:28:53,050 --> 00:28:53,340
out of pocket.

959
00:28:53,350 --> 00:28:54,942
Dear me.

960
00:28:54,951 --> 00:28:55,771
Well, couldn't he put them

961
00:28:55,812 --> 00:28:56,442
out to grass or whatever it is?

962
00:28:56,461 --> 00:28:59,444
Val says they'll die

963
00:28:59,463 --> 00:29:00,568
of exposure and old age

964
00:29:00,769 --> 00:29:01,875
and he doesn't want them

965
00:29:01,894 --> 00:29:02,255
on his conscience.

966
00:29:02,265 --> 00:29:03,855
No, I should think not.

967
00:29:03,865 --> 00:29:04,656
So he wants to know

968
00:29:04,676 --> 00:29:04,936
whether he can write

969
00:29:05,136 --> 00:29:06,637
and say he's not rich enough

970
00:29:06,837 --> 00:29:06,986
to take them.

971
00:29:07,007 --> 00:29:09,198
Well, I'll ask soames.

972
00:29:09,237 --> 00:29:11,159
I shall be seeing him

973
00:29:11,178 --> 00:29:11,458
and fleur.

974
00:29:11,478 --> 00:29:13,300
Oh.

975
00:29:13,340 --> 00:29:14,500
Now, you don't like her, do you?

976
00:29:14,540 --> 00:29:16,841
Not much.

977
00:29:17,041 --> 00:29:19,343
And michael?

978
00:29:19,363 --> 00:29:20,974
Well, I think so.

979
00:29:20,993 --> 00:29:22,103
I don't really

980
00:29:22,153 --> 00:29:22,784
know him.

981
00:29:22,984 --> 00:29:23,614
He's a dear.

982
00:29:23,644 --> 00:29:24,714
He called in this morning.

983
00:29:24,726 --> 00:29:25,614
He asked me if I'd go

984
00:29:25,655 --> 00:29:26,086
and stay at south square

985
00:29:26,106 --> 00:29:28,016
during fleur's

986
00:29:28,046 --> 00:29:28,286
confinement.

987
00:29:28,306 --> 00:29:28,741
And shall you?

988
00:29:28,942 --> 00:29:29,834
Oh, yes, dear.

989
00:29:30,035 --> 00:29:30,927
Aunts have to

990
00:29:30,967 --> 00:29:31,398
make themselves useful.

991
00:29:31,408 --> 00:29:32,998
But I wanted to know if you

992
00:29:33,009 --> 00:29:33,429
and val would come up

993
00:29:33,469 --> 00:29:34,549
and look after

994
00:29:34,749 --> 00:29:35,830
the house for me.

995
00:29:35,869 --> 00:29:36,901
Have some evenings out,

996
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:37,300
theaters and so on.

997
00:29:37,321 --> 00:29:39,181
Well, I'd love to,

998
00:29:39,191 --> 00:29:39,741
but... well, val.

999
00:29:39,782 --> 00:29:43,403
Yes, he hates town,

1000
00:29:43,602 --> 00:29:43,644
doesn't he?

1001
00:29:43,663 --> 00:29:45,414
So unlike his poor father.

1002
00:29:45,425 --> 00:29:47,315
When will it be, aunt,

1003
00:29:47,335 --> 00:29:47,815
fleur's baby?

1004
00:29:47,835 --> 00:29:50,126
In about 10 days' time

1005
00:29:50,136 --> 00:29:50,626
then let me know when

1006
00:29:50,636 --> 00:29:51,327
you want me. Good health.

1007
00:29:51,336 --> 00:29:53,728
Bung ho.

1008
00:29:54,918 --> 00:29:57,570
Thank you.

1009
00:29:57,580 --> 00:30:01,271
Mr. Michael mont, I think.

1010
00:30:01,301 --> 00:30:02,372
I've been expecting you.

1011
00:30:02,382 --> 00:30:05,883
Mr. Forsyte won't be long.

1012
00:30:05,913 --> 00:30:08,444
Is the mrs. Michael well,

1013
00:30:08,465 --> 00:30:08,655
I hope?

1014
00:30:08,665 --> 00:30:10,435
Thanks.

1015
00:30:10,636 --> 00:30:10,926
As well as...

1016
00:30:10,936 --> 00:30:12,056
yes. It makes you anxious.

1017
00:30:12,076 --> 00:30:14,988
Take a seat.

1018
00:30:15,038 --> 00:30:15,048
Thank you.

1019
00:30:15,248 --> 00:30:17,059
Perhaps you'd like to read

1020
00:30:17,078 --> 00:30:17,914
the draft.

1021
00:30:18,114 --> 00:30:18,541
Oh, thank you

1022
00:30:18,742 --> 00:30:19,170
very much.

1023
00:30:19,180 --> 00:30:26,162
It seems to mean

1024
00:30:26,363 --> 00:30:26,383
something.

1025
00:30:26,393 --> 00:30:28,314
Eh? What's that?

1026
00:30:28,324 --> 00:30:30,084
Calculating what might happen

1027
00:30:30,105 --> 00:30:30,584
if something else doesn'T.

1028
00:30:30,605 --> 00:30:33,326
It must be rather

1029
00:30:33,346 --> 00:30:33,786
like being a bookmaker.

1030
00:30:33,806 --> 00:30:35,426
We don't waste our time here.

1031
00:30:35,467 --> 00:30:39,889
You'll excuse me.

1032
00:30:40,089 --> 00:30:42,910
Ah, michael.

1033
00:30:43,110 --> 00:30:45,931
Hello, sir.

1034
00:30:45,961 --> 00:30:48,343
I've asked your father

1035
00:30:48,383 --> 00:30:48,743
to meet us here.

1036
00:30:48,783 --> 00:30:50,244
We can go on to the

1037
00:30:50,283 --> 00:30:50,913
shareholder's meeting together.

1038
00:30:50,935 --> 00:30:56,506
Oh, have you read that?

1039
00:30:56,707 --> 00:30:58,428
Well, I...

1040
00:30:58,448 --> 00:30:59,828
understand it?

1041
00:30:59,848 --> 00:31:00,958
Up to a point, I think.

1042
00:31:01,008 --> 00:31:04,140
Now...

1043
00:31:04,150 --> 00:31:07,972
the interest on this 50,000

1044
00:31:08,001 --> 00:31:08,022
is fleur's

1045
00:31:08,222 --> 00:31:10,313
until her eldest child,

1046
00:31:10,333 --> 00:31:10,423
if it's a boy,

1047
00:31:10,623 --> 00:31:12,634
attains the age of 21.

1048
00:31:12,834 --> 00:31:13,784
Then the capital becomes his

1049
00:31:13,814 --> 00:31:14,054
absolutely.

1050
00:31:14,065 --> 00:31:15,710
Lucky little chap.

1051
00:31:15,910 --> 00:31:17,556
If it's a girl,

1052
00:31:17,576 --> 00:31:18,186
half the interest is fleur'S.

1053
00:31:18,227 --> 00:31:21,288
The other half

1054
00:31:21,327 --> 00:31:21,989
is paid to the girl at 21,

1055
00:31:22,038 --> 00:31:24,429
or when she marries,

1056
00:31:24,449 --> 00:31:24,700
if earlier,

1057
00:31:24,710 --> 00:31:26,300
and the capital

1058
00:31:26,340 --> 00:31:26,570
of that half

1059
00:31:26,590 --> 00:31:27,751
goes to her child

1060
00:31:27,950 --> 00:31:28,011
or children,

1061
00:31:28,041 --> 00:31:29,912
lawfully begotten,

1062
00:31:29,932 --> 00:31:30,912
at majority or marriage,

1063
00:31:30,922 --> 00:31:31,962
in equal shares.

1064
00:31:32,163 --> 00:31:32,943
The other half of the capital

1065
00:31:32,964 --> 00:31:33,463
falls into fleur's estate

1066
00:31:33,663 --> 00:31:35,215
and can be disposed

1067
00:31:35,244 --> 00:31:35,485
by her will.

1068
00:31:35,504 --> 00:31:36,885
You make it wonderfully clear.

1069
00:31:36,904 --> 00:31:37,885
Now wait.

1070
00:31:37,905 --> 00:31:39,426
If fleur has no children...

1071
00:31:39,456 --> 00:31:39,686
no children!

1072
00:31:39,707 --> 00:31:42,497
Anything is possible.

1073
00:31:42,508 --> 00:31:44,428
And in my experience,

1074
00:31:44,468 --> 00:31:45,199
the contingencies

1075
00:31:45,219 --> 00:31:45,728
not provided for

1076
00:31:45,769 --> 00:31:46,740
are those which usually happen.

1077
00:31:46,769 --> 00:31:47,940
In such a case,

1078
00:31:47,979 --> 00:31:49,390
the income

1079
00:31:49,590 --> 00:31:49,990
is fleur's for life,

1080
00:31:50,191 --> 00:31:51,171
and the capital

1081
00:31:51,191 --> 00:31:51,652
hers at death

1082
00:31:51,851 --> 00:31:52,312
to do with

1083
00:31:52,322 --> 00:31:52,712
what she likes with.

1084
00:31:52,722 --> 00:31:54,012
Well, ought she

1085
00:31:54,023 --> 00:31:54,642
to make a fresh will?

1086
00:31:54,683 --> 00:31:56,053
Gradman,

1087
00:31:56,083 --> 00:31:56,583
bring me the deed, will you?

1088
00:31:56,604 --> 00:31:58,044
Yes.

1089
00:31:58,084 --> 00:31:59,515
Not unless she wants to.

1090
00:31:59,535 --> 00:32:03,257
Now, get bellman in.

1091
00:32:03,297 --> 00:32:03,726
You and he can witness.

1092
00:32:03,747 --> 00:32:10,670
This meeting this afternoon,

1093
00:32:10,710 --> 00:32:10,970
I don't know,

1094
00:32:11,010 --> 00:32:13,341
but anything

1095
00:32:13,351 --> 00:32:13,431
can happen,

1096
00:32:13,631 --> 00:32:15,472
but whatever happens,

1097
00:32:15,512 --> 00:32:15,943
this deed should stand.

1098
00:32:15,962 --> 00:32:18,654
It's very good of you, sir.

1099
00:32:18,664 --> 00:32:20,084
We'll take it down

1100
00:32:20,115 --> 00:32:20,554
to the bank on the way.

1101
00:32:20,575 --> 00:32:21,956
I've asked the trustees

1102
00:32:21,975 --> 00:32:22,556
to meet us there. Remember them?

1103
00:32:22,576 --> 00:32:24,657
Cousins of fleur's, I think.

1104
00:32:24,667 --> 00:32:25,757
Second cousins.

1105
00:32:25,776 --> 00:32:26,888
Young roger's eldest

1106
00:32:26,927 --> 00:32:27,397
and young nicholas' son...

1107
00:32:27,408 --> 00:32:31,069
very young nicholas.

1108
00:32:31,089 --> 00:32:35,701
What about his son, sir?

1109
00:32:35,752 --> 00:32:37,182
Very, very young nicholas

1110
00:32:37,192 --> 00:32:37,962
would sound almost insulting.

1111
00:32:38,163 --> 00:32:42,925
Hm.

1112
00:32:42,955 --> 00:32:44,265
What are you going

1113
00:32:44,276 --> 00:32:44,926
to call yours?

1114
00:32:45,125 --> 00:32:45,570
If it's a boy,

1115
00:32:45,771 --> 00:32:46,216
christopher.

1116
00:32:46,266 --> 00:32:47,826
If it's a girl, anne.

1117
00:32:47,857 --> 00:32:50,279
Yes, very neat.

1118
00:32:50,289 --> 00:32:53,340
I'm afraid I got in wrong

1119
00:32:53,359 --> 00:32:53,829
with your clerk, sir.

1120
00:32:53,860 --> 00:32:56,771
Gradman?

1121
00:32:56,791 --> 00:32:57,512
Well, accidentally,

1122
00:32:57,531 --> 00:32:58,211
I called him a bookmaker.

1123
00:32:58,222 --> 00:33:00,253
Huh. Yes.

1124
00:33:00,263 --> 00:33:00,692
Oh, he's a character.

1125
00:33:00,703 --> 00:33:04,094
There aren't

1126
00:33:04,294 --> 00:33:04,654
many of them left.

1127
00:33:04,685 --> 00:33:06,656
I don't know.

1128
00:33:06,695 --> 00:33:07,126
Here's another one.

1129
00:33:07,146 --> 00:33:08,527
Ah.

1130
00:33:08,546 --> 00:33:08,666
Yes.

1131
00:33:08,676 --> 00:33:10,307
Morning, forsyte.

1132
00:33:10,507 --> 00:33:12,998
Nice place, this. Cool.

1133
00:33:13,018 --> 00:33:15,239
Hello, bart.

1134
00:33:15,269 --> 00:33:21,313
This is a post-nuptial

1135
00:33:21,323 --> 00:33:21,542
settlement

1136
00:33:21,582 --> 00:33:22,953
on my daughter.

1137
00:33:22,983 --> 00:33:24,423
I deliver this

1138
00:33:24,433 --> 00:33:24,824
as my act and deed.

1139
00:33:24,834 --> 00:33:28,305
Are you ready, bart?

1140
00:33:28,506 --> 00:33:29,116
Ready for

1141
00:33:29,146 --> 00:33:29,516
the guillotine?

1142
00:33:29,545 --> 00:33:30,026
That white piping

1143
00:33:30,227 --> 00:33:30,706
will show the blood.

1144
00:33:30,716 --> 00:33:32,717
Old fontenoy will feel it

1145
00:33:32,918 --> 00:33:34,214
if things go wrong.

1146
00:33:34,413 --> 00:33:35,710
It's a rum show,

1147
00:33:35,719 --> 00:33:35,939
isn't it?

1148
00:33:35,948 --> 00:33:36,769
How titles still work.

1149
00:33:36,810 --> 00:33:37,019
I mean...

1150
00:33:37,219 --> 00:33:38,370
there can't be any belief

1151
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:38,970
in their business capacity.

1152
00:33:39,010 --> 00:33:41,081
Character?

1153
00:33:41,101 --> 00:33:41,551
That's still important?

1154
00:33:41,562 --> 00:33:42,652
No, bart.

1155
00:33:42,662 --> 00:33:43,083
Shareholders' complex.

1156
00:33:43,112 --> 00:33:45,984
Their parents showed them a lord

1157
00:33:45,993 --> 00:33:46,483
when they were young.

1158
00:33:46,494 --> 00:33:49,755
Bart, I should like

1159
00:33:49,775 --> 00:33:50,095
to be with you.

1160
00:33:50,126 --> 00:33:51,696
They won't let you in.

1161
00:33:51,705 --> 00:33:52,897
No?

1162
00:33:52,926 --> 00:33:53,197
Certainly not.

1163
00:33:53,226 --> 00:33:54,163
What papers are sure

1164
00:33:54,362 --> 00:33:55,297
not to be represented?

1165
00:33:55,338 --> 00:33:57,399
Country life. Horse and hound.

1166
00:33:57,439 --> 00:33:57,909
Gardener's weekly.

1167
00:33:57,939 --> 00:34:00,960
Well, I'll slide in on them.

1168
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:02,911
Well, michael,

1169
00:34:02,951 --> 00:34:05,807
I hope you'll see us die game.

1170
00:34:06,008 --> 00:34:07,645
Are you telling the meeting

1171
00:34:07,846 --> 00:34:09,484
that mr. Elderson took bribes?

1172
00:34:09,504 --> 00:34:12,186
Unlawful commission.

1173
00:34:12,205 --> 00:34:13,300
Surely, that's

1174
00:34:13,502 --> 00:34:14,597
the same thing!

1175
00:34:14,616 --> 00:34:16,027
And are you saying that

1176
00:34:16,048 --> 00:34:16,527
it was known to the board

1177
00:34:16,577 --> 00:34:18,838
over five months ago,

1178
00:34:18,879 --> 00:34:19,829
four whole months

1179
00:34:19,878 --> 00:34:20,328
before elderson absconded?

1180
00:34:20,380 --> 00:34:23,841
And if this is the case,

1181
00:34:23,871 --> 00:34:24,741
may I ask why the board

1182
00:34:24,762 --> 00:34:25,342
failed to take immediate action?

1183
00:34:25,371 --> 00:34:28,743
Because, mr. Botterill,

1184
00:34:28,783 --> 00:34:29,968
the board as a whole

1185
00:34:30,169 --> 00:34:31,354
was not informed.

1186
00:34:31,374 --> 00:34:33,301
Not informed?

1187
00:34:33,500 --> 00:34:35,426
The board

1188
00:34:35,436 --> 00:34:35,786
was not informed?

1189
00:34:35,805 --> 00:34:36,597
Wh

1190
00:34:36,776 --> 00:34:36,796
informed?

1191
00:34:36,976 --> 00:34:37,967
It first came to the attention

1192
00:34:37,978 --> 00:34:38,297
of mr. Forsyte,

1193
00:34:38,317 --> 00:34:41,709
one of your directors.

1194
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:42,469
I think it best that he

1195
00:34:42,499 --> 00:34:43,170
gives you his own account.

1196
00:34:46,061 --> 00:34:50,583
As you know,

1197
00:34:50,603 --> 00:34:51,053
the clerk, butterfield,

1198
00:34:51,073 --> 00:34:52,214
reported to me

1199
00:34:52,243 --> 00:34:52,654
what he had overheard.

1200
00:34:52,674 --> 00:34:54,375
There was not proof,

1201
00:34:54,575 --> 00:34:55,125
no corroboration of his story.

1202
00:34:55,154 --> 00:34:57,286
It was his unsupported word

1203
00:34:57,306 --> 00:34:57,926
against that of mr. Elderson,

1204
00:34:57,936 --> 00:35:00,227
a man of considerable reputation

1205
00:35:00,247 --> 00:35:00,527
and authority.

1206
00:35:00,568 --> 00:35:02,839
Miss sawdry?

1207
00:35:02,868 --> 00:35:04,990
Surely, but...

1208
00:35:05,189 --> 00:35:07,090
wouldn't it have been in order

1209
00:35:07,290 --> 00:35:07,540
to inform the board?

1210
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,192
Perhaps you are unaware, madam,

1211
00:35:10,202 --> 00:35:11,913
that such a course

1212
00:35:11,932 --> 00:35:12,743
could have led

1213
00:35:12,773 --> 00:35:13,413
to criminal proceedings.

1214
00:35:13,433 --> 00:35:14,454
But surely, would you not

1215
00:35:14,473 --> 00:35:14,954
have been privileged?

1216
00:35:14,994 --> 00:35:18,256
As between members of the board,

1217
00:35:18,296 --> 00:35:20,227
perhaps,

1218
00:35:20,246 --> 00:35:20,567
but any leakage

1219
00:35:20,596 --> 00:35:21,216
would have made us liable.

1220
00:35:21,417 --> 00:35:23,327
However,

1221
00:35:23,349 --> 00:35:23,937
I did inform sir lawrence mont.

1222
00:35:23,948 --> 00:35:25,738
And did sir lawrence

1223
00:35:25,749 --> 00:35:26,369
agree to keep it all dark?

1224
00:35:30,552 --> 00:35:34,683
You must understand, sir,

1225
00:35:34,722 --> 00:35:35,303
that mr. Elderson had enjoyed

1226
00:35:35,504 --> 00:35:36,083
our confidence for many years.

1227
00:35:36,114 --> 00:35:38,354
There had been

1228
00:35:38,365 --> 00:35:38,955
no possible reason to doubt him.

1229
00:35:38,965 --> 00:35:40,756
I preferred to wait and see.

1230
00:35:40,776 --> 00:35:43,297
What does the chairman say

1231
00:35:43,337 --> 00:35:43,697
to that?

1232
00:35:43,737 --> 00:35:45,367
We're all perfectly satisfied

1233
00:35:45,377 --> 00:35:47,199
with the attitude

1234
00:35:47,229 --> 00:35:47,749
of our co-directors

1235
00:35:47,759 --> 00:35:49,910
in a very delicate situation.

1236
00:35:49,930 --> 00:35:52,110
Well, I'm not,

1237
00:35:52,142 --> 00:35:52,511
I can tell you.

1238
00:35:52,541 --> 00:35:54,383
If you'd acted

1239
00:35:54,393 --> 00:35:54,652
quicker,

1240
00:35:54,662 --> 00:35:55,783
we might have got

1241
00:35:55,802 --> 00:35:56,483
that money back from him.

1242
00:35:56,503 --> 00:35:59,023
As you support the action,

1243
00:35:59,044 --> 00:36:00,785
or should I say, inaction,

1244
00:36:00,985 --> 00:36:02,725
of these two directors,

1245
00:36:02,766 --> 00:36:04,226
it's clear the board as a whole

1246
00:36:04,266 --> 00:36:04,597
is responsible

1247
00:36:04,616 --> 00:36:06,127
for allowing a suspected person

1248
00:36:06,147 --> 00:36:06,637
to remain as manager.

1249
00:36:06,667 --> 00:36:08,498
Hear, hear!

1250
00:36:08,519 --> 00:36:10,279
The policy

1251
00:36:10,289 --> 00:36:10,699
of foreign insurance

1252
00:36:10,900 --> 00:36:11,941
was initiated

1253
00:36:11,970 --> 00:36:12,510
by elderson for his own ends.

1254
00:36:12,519 --> 00:36:15,141
We have made a severe loss

1255
00:36:15,161 --> 00:36:15,311
by it.

1256
00:36:15,331 --> 00:36:17,012
The question, therefore,

1257
00:36:17,022 --> 00:36:17,513
for the shareholders,

1258
00:36:17,533 --> 00:36:19,523
is clearly this:

1259
00:36:19,533 --> 00:36:20,174
Can we any longer trust this

1260
00:36:20,373 --> 00:36:21,013
board to conduct our affairs?

1261
00:36:21,034 --> 00:36:24,365
No.

1262
00:36:24,386 --> 00:36:26,126
It's a serious matter, this,

1263
00:36:26,146 --> 00:36:27,021
gentlemen.

1264
00:36:27,222 --> 00:36:28,097
I propose

1265
00:36:28,117 --> 00:36:28,557
that the board withdraw

1266
00:36:28,598 --> 00:36:30,318
and leave us to discuss it.

1267
00:36:30,519 --> 00:36:31,238
Hear, hear!

1268
00:36:31,698 --> 00:36:36,130
If that is your wish, gentlemen,

1269
00:36:36,331 --> 00:36:37,371
we shall be happy

1270
00:36:37,391 --> 00:36:37,952
to comply with it.

1271
00:36:37,962 --> 00:36:40,082
Will those

1272
00:36:40,103 --> 00:36:40,512
in favor of the motion

1273
00:36:40,532 --> 00:36:43,554
hold up their hands?

1274
00:36:43,574 --> 00:36:47,586
Carried.

1275
00:37:02,463 --> 00:37:05,614
Now, ladies and gentlemen,

1276
00:37:05,655 --> 00:37:06,285
ladies and gentlemen, please.

1277
00:37:06,484 --> 00:37:09,077
As shareholders,

1278
00:37:09,276 --> 00:37:09,896
we must protect ourselves,

1279
00:37:09,916 --> 00:37:13,098
and from what we've just heard,

1280
00:37:13,117 --> 00:37:14,268
I think there's only one way

1281
00:37:14,309 --> 00:37:14,669
to do that.

1282
00:37:14,708 --> 00:37:16,709
In the first place,

1283
00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:17,470
the board ought never

1284
00:37:17,509 --> 00:37:18,139
to have touched anything

1285
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,741
to do with the germans.

1286
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,201
In the second place,

1287
00:37:22,403 --> 00:37:24,843
I say they showed

1288
00:37:24,873 --> 00:37:25,223
bad judgment.

1289
00:37:25,233 --> 00:37:29,305
In my opinion,

1290
00:37:29,506 --> 00:37:30,755
we should propose a vote

1291
00:37:30,786 --> 00:37:31,126
of no confidence.

1292
00:37:33,397 --> 00:37:34,758
No!

1293
00:37:34,787 --> 00:37:37,169
If you'll forgive my saying so,

1294
00:37:37,208 --> 00:37:37,368
sir,

1295
00:37:37,378 --> 00:37:38,118
your proposal seems to be

1296
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:38,929
a very rough-and-ready justice.

1297
00:37:39,130 --> 00:37:41,441
I should be interested

1298
00:37:41,460 --> 00:37:41,781
to know how you

1299
00:37:41,810 --> 00:37:43,051
would have handled the situation

1300
00:37:43,061 --> 00:37:43,671
if you had been on the board.

1301
00:37:43,711 --> 00:37:44,798
It is extremely easy

1302
00:37:44,997 --> 00:37:46,083
to condemn other people.

1303
00:37:46,123 --> 00:37:47,589
It's all very well

1304
00:37:47,789 --> 00:37:49,254
in cases of this sort

1305
00:37:49,264 --> 00:37:51,154
to blame a directorate,

1306
00:37:51,164 --> 00:37:52,785
but speaking

1307
00:37:52,826 --> 00:37:53,892
as a director myself,

1308
00:37:54,092 --> 00:37:55,157
I would like to know

1309
00:37:55,177 --> 00:37:55,567
whom one is to trust

1310
00:37:55,577 --> 00:37:57,567
if not one's manager.

1311
00:37:57,588 --> 00:37:58,348
Oh, that's

1312
00:37:58,548 --> 00:37:59,309
a point there.

1313
00:37:59,339 --> 00:38:00,149
As to the policy

1314
00:38:00,349 --> 00:38:00,769
of foreign insurance,

1315
00:38:00,789 --> 00:38:02,239
we have had that before us

1316
00:38:02,260 --> 00:38:02,710
at two general meetings,

1317
00:38:02,721 --> 00:38:04,882
and we have pocketed

1318
00:38:04,901 --> 00:38:05,282
the profits from it

1319
00:38:05,301 --> 00:38:06,882
for nearly two years.

1320
00:38:06,892 --> 00:38:08,182
Have we said one voice

1321
00:38:08,203 --> 00:38:08,513
against it? No.

1322
00:38:08,532 --> 00:38:12,655
I differ from the last speaker

1323
00:38:12,675 --> 00:38:13,295
in his diagnosis of the case.

1324
00:38:13,305 --> 00:38:16,496
When a government

1325
00:38:16,517 --> 00:38:17,096
makes a bad mistake of judgment,

1326
00:38:17,118 --> 00:38:18,602
the electorate turns against it

1327
00:38:18,802 --> 00:38:20,545
as soon as it feels the effects.

1328
00:38:20,746 --> 00:38:22,488
Call it rough-and-ready justice

1329
00:38:22,690 --> 00:38:22,939
if you like,

1330
00:38:22,980 --> 00:38:24,941
but it's the lesser

1331
00:38:24,970 --> 00:38:25,440
of two evils,

1332
00:38:25,481 --> 00:38:27,711
and it's a sound check

1333
00:38:27,722 --> 00:38:28,102
on administration.

1334
00:38:28,302 --> 00:38:30,122
The same

1335
00:38:30,132 --> 00:38:30,682
goes for a board of directors.

1336
00:38:30,703 --> 00:38:32,604
It backs its judgment.

1337
00:38:32,804 --> 00:38:35,505
When it loses, it should pay.

1338
00:38:38,897 --> 00:38:39,532
ladies and gentlemen,

1339
00:38:39,732 --> 00:38:40,368
I have proposed a vote

1340
00:38:40,377 --> 00:38:40,927
of no confidence.

1341
00:38:40,947 --> 00:38:43,199
Will anyone second it?

1342
00:38:43,219 --> 00:38:43,869
I do believe

1343
00:38:43,908 --> 00:38:44,369
we are going too far,

1344
00:38:44,410 --> 00:38:46,640
and I think

1345
00:38:46,661 --> 00:38:47,150
we should compromise.

1346
00:38:47,161 --> 00:38:48,981
The directors

1347
00:38:49,011 --> 00:38:49,652
that knew about the manager

1348
00:38:49,662 --> 00:38:51,783
ought to go,

1349
00:38:51,822 --> 00:38:52,632
but I think

1350
00:38:52,834 --> 00:38:53,284
we should stop at that.

1351
00:38:53,323 --> 00:39:00,147
We're wasting time.

1352
00:39:00,346 --> 00:39:00,466
In business,

1353
00:39:00,487 --> 00:39:01,096
you've got to trust somebody,

1354
00:39:01,137 --> 00:39:02,797
and we've had no cause

1355
00:39:02,837 --> 00:39:04,153
mistrust the board so far.

1356
00:39:04,354 --> 00:39:05,668
It's the same for them

1357
00:39:05,688 --> 00:39:06,138
as far as I can see.

1358
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,900
They had no previous reason

1359
00:39:07,940 --> 00:39:08,411
to mistrust elderson.

1360
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,182
It wouldn't be right

1361
00:39:12,202 --> 00:39:13,322
to pass a vote of no confidence

1362
00:39:13,353 --> 00:39:13,622
at this stage,

1363
00:39:13,643 --> 00:39:16,994
not behind their backs.

1364
00:39:17,004 --> 00:39:19,786
Let's hear what assurances

1365
00:39:19,985 --> 00:39:20,296
they can give us

1366
00:39:20,306 --> 00:39:21,776
against this sort of thing

1367
00:39:21,786 --> 00:39:22,296
happening again.

1368
00:39:24,817 --> 00:39:26,608
Have them in,

1369
00:39:26,618 --> 00:39:26,908
by all means.

1370
00:39:26,918 --> 00:39:28,409
Pass a vote of no confidence

1371
00:39:28,419 --> 00:39:28,989
to their faces for all I care,

1372
00:39:29,190 --> 00:39:31,510
but there's one point

1373
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:32,040
nobody's touched on.

1374
00:39:32,082 --> 00:39:36,303
How far, if we do turn them out,

1375
00:39:36,503 --> 00:39:38,924
could we make them liable

1376
00:39:38,934 --> 00:39:39,214
for this loss?

1377
00:39:39,243 --> 00:39:40,365
I'm not a lawyer,

1378
00:39:40,395 --> 00:39:41,025
so I don't know the answer,

1379
00:39:41,034 --> 00:39:42,466
but I should have thought

1380
00:39:42,506 --> 00:39:43,066
there was a good sporting chance

1381
00:39:43,096 --> 00:39:45,256
if we liked to take it.

1382
00:39:45,307 --> 00:39:46,637
But if we don't turn them out

1383
00:39:46,658 --> 00:39:47,638
it's obvious we can't take it

1384
00:39:47,658 --> 00:39:48,179
even if we wish to.

1385
00:39:48,208 --> 00:39:50,179
Yes.

1386
00:39:50,219 --> 00:39:50,449
Hear, hear.

1387
00:39:50,459 --> 00:39:52,650
Let them in.

1388
00:39:52,660 --> 00:39:55,952
Very well, ladies and gentlemen.

1389
00:39:55,972 --> 00:39:56,482
We'll have them in.

1390
00:39:56,501 --> 00:39:58,883
Yeah. Fetch them.

1391
00:39:58,913 --> 00:39:59,193
Fetch them in.

1392
00:40:04,226 --> 00:40:06,496
Would you come in, please,gentlemen?

1393
00:40:14,890 --> 00:40:16,276
Well, ladies and gentlemen,

1394
00:40:16,476 --> 00:40:17,861
we await your pleasure.

1395
00:40:21,874 --> 00:40:25,124
To put it shortly,

1396
00:40:25,166 --> 00:40:25,424
mr. Chairman,

1397
00:40:25,466 --> 00:40:26,826
we're not satisfied.

1398
00:40:26,865 --> 00:40:28,177
No.

1399
00:40:28,376 --> 00:40:29,067
But before we take

1400
00:40:29,087 --> 00:40:29,407
any resolution,

1401
00:40:29,417 --> 00:40:30,187
we want to hear

1402
00:40:30,387 --> 00:40:30,837
what you've got to say.

1403
00:40:30,868 --> 00:40:32,708
We wish to know, sir,

1404
00:40:32,729 --> 00:40:33,279
what guarantee we have

1405
00:40:33,289 --> 00:40:35,850
against anything

1406
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:36,240
of this kind

1407
00:40:36,261 --> 00:40:39,302
happening in the

1408
00:40:39,501 --> 00:40:40,122
in the nature of things, sir,

1409
00:40:40,131 --> 00:40:40,421
none whatever.

1410
00:40:43,303 --> 00:40:45,129
You can hardly suppose

1411
00:40:45,329 --> 00:40:47,155
that had we had known

1412
00:40:47,184 --> 00:40:47,666
our manager was not worthy

1413
00:40:47,686 --> 00:40:49,927
of our confidence

1414
00:40:49,956 --> 00:40:51,207
we would have continued him

1415
00:40:51,236 --> 00:40:51,467
in the post

1416
00:40:51,487 --> 00:40:52,898
for one moment.

1417
00:40:53,098 --> 00:40:54,508
That won't do.

1418
00:40:54,549 --> 00:40:55,509
He's gone back

1419
00:40:55,538 --> 00:40:55,779
on himself.

1420
00:40:55,789 --> 00:40:56,809
Yes. They'll spot it.

1421
00:40:56,850 --> 00:40:58,780
That's just the point.

1422
00:40:58,800 --> 00:40:59,060
Two of you did know.

1423
00:40:59,260 --> 00:41:01,566
Yet there was this fellow

1424
00:41:01,767 --> 00:41:03,880
for months afterwards,

1425
00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:06,194
playing his own hand

1426
00:41:06,204 --> 00:41:06,989
and cheating the society

1427
00:41:07,190 --> 00:41:08,611
for all he was worth.

1428
00:41:08,812 --> 00:41:10,235
You have admitted

1429
00:41:10,265 --> 00:41:10,725
collective responsibility.

1430
00:41:10,766 --> 00:41:13,237
You said that

1431
00:41:13,247 --> 00:41:13,836
you were perfectly satisfied

1432
00:41:13,847 --> 00:41:14,838
with the attitude

1433
00:41:14,848 --> 00:41:15,308
of your co-directors

1434
00:41:15,328 --> 00:41:18,068
in the matter.

1435
00:41:18,090 --> 00:41:18,569
Perhaps

1436
00:41:18,599 --> 00:41:19,199
you would answer that point.

1437
00:41:19,399 --> 00:41:20,100
Yeah.

1438
00:41:20,299 --> 00:41:20,681
Hear, hear!

1439
00:41:20,700 --> 00:41:24,712
Allow me a word.

1440
00:41:24,742 --> 00:41:27,123
Speaking for myself,

1441
00:41:27,133 --> 00:41:29,355
I find it impossible

1442
00:41:29,394 --> 00:41:30,155
to accept the generous attempt

1443
00:41:30,194 --> 00:41:30,315
of the chairman

1444
00:41:30,514 --> 00:41:31,670
to shoulder a responsibility

1445
00:41:31,871 --> 00:41:33,026
which clearly rests upon me.

1446
00:41:33,226 --> 00:41:35,316
If I made

1447
00:41:35,517 --> 00:41:35,967
an error of judgment

1448
00:41:36,007 --> 00:41:37,068
in not disclosing

1449
00:41:37,107 --> 00:41:37,418
our suspicions,

1450
00:41:37,429 --> 00:41:39,478
I must pay the penalty.

1451
00:41:39,509 --> 00:41:40,930
And I think

1452
00:41:41,129 --> 00:41:41,780
it will clear the situation

1453
00:41:41,810 --> 00:41:44,481
if I tender my resignation

1454
00:41:44,491 --> 00:41:45,031
to this meeting.

1455
00:41:47,002 --> 00:41:53,265
Well, I, apparently,

1456
00:41:53,305 --> 00:41:54,706
am the other

1457
00:41:54,716 --> 00:41:55,267
incriminated director.

1458
00:41:55,306 --> 00:41:57,097
Yes.

1459
00:41:57,116 --> 00:41:57,917
I'm not conscious

1460
00:41:58,118 --> 00:41:59,367
of having done anything

1461
00:41:59,408 --> 00:41:59,717
but my duty.

1462
00:41:59,727 --> 00:42:01,429
I am confident

1463
00:42:01,629 --> 00:42:02,199
i made no mistake of judgment,

1464
00:42:02,219 --> 00:42:03,649
and I consider it

1465
00:42:03,660 --> 00:42:03,981
entirely unjust

1466
00:42:04,010 --> 00:42:05,481
that I should be penalized.

1467
00:42:05,511 --> 00:42:06,726
I have had worries

1468
00:42:06,926 --> 00:42:07,939
and anxieties enough

1469
00:42:08,138 --> 00:42:09,152
without being made

1470
00:42:09,172 --> 00:42:09,753
a scapegoat by shareholders

1471
00:42:09,772 --> 00:42:11,723
who accepted this policy

1472
00:42:11,743 --> 00:42:12,063
without a murmur

1473
00:42:12,074 --> 00:42:13,155
and are now angry because

1474
00:42:13,174 --> 00:42:13,694
they have made a loss by it.

1475
00:42:13,725 --> 00:42:16,596
You owe it to me

1476
00:42:16,635 --> 00:42:17,516
that the policy

1477
00:42:17,716 --> 00:42:18,596
has been dropped.

1478
00:42:18,616 --> 00:42:20,538
You owe it t

1479
00:42:20,557 --> 00:42:21,238
that you no longer have a

1480
00:42:21,278 --> 00:42:21,838
fraudulent person as a manager,

1481
00:42:21,868 --> 00:42:24,109
and you owe it to me

1482
00:42:24,139 --> 00:42:24,680
that you were called together

1483
00:42:24,690 --> 00:42:25,684
to pass judgment

1484
00:42:25,885 --> 00:42:26,880
on this matter.

1485
00:42:26,900 --> 00:42:27,811
I have no intention

1486
00:42:27,841 --> 00:42:28,461
whatever of singing small,

1487
00:42:28,471 --> 00:42:31,593
but there is another aspect

1488
00:42:31,603 --> 00:42:31,922
to this affair.

1489
00:42:31,953 --> 00:42:34,283
I don't propose

1490
00:42:34,314 --> 00:42:34,774
to go on giving my services

1491
00:42:34,974 --> 00:42:36,975
to people who do not value them.

1492
00:42:36,985 --> 00:42:38,436
I have no pati

1493
00:42:38,446 --> 00:42:39,135
for the attitude displayed

1494
00:42:39,145 --> 00:42:39,666
here this afternoon.

1495
00:42:39,686 --> 00:42:40,447
If anyone here thinks

1496
00:42:40,456 --> 00:42:41,067
he has a grievance against me,

1497
00:42:41,077 --> 00:42:43,268
let him bring an action.

1498
00:42:43,287 --> 00:42:43,807
I shall be happy

1499
00:42:43,839 --> 00:42:44,277
to carry it

1500
00:42:44,289 --> 00:42:45,608
to the house of lords

1501
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:46,110
if necessary.

1502
00:42:46,129 --> 00:42:47,579
I have been familiar

1503
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:48,210
with the city all my life,

1504
00:42:48,250 --> 00:42:51,020
and I have not been in the habit

1505
00:42:51,052 --> 00:42:52,082
of meeting with suspicion

1506
00:42:52,102 --> 00:42:52,622
and ingratitude.

1507
00:42:52,652 --> 00:42:53,271
If this is an instance

1508
00:42:53,473 --> 00:42:54,093
of present manners,

1509
00:42:54,103 --> 00:42:55,094
I have been familiar

1510
00:42:55,104 --> 00:42:55,793
with the city long enough.

1511
00:42:55,804 --> 00:42:58,435
Mr. Chairman,

1512
00:42:58,464 --> 00:42:59,195
I do not tender my resignation

1513
00:42:59,205 --> 00:42:59,725
to this meeting.

1514
00:42:59,766 --> 00:43:01,736
I resign.

1515
00:43:17,774 --> 00:43:19,865
Hello, ting, old boy.

1516
00:43:19,894 --> 00:43:20,315
What's the matter?

1517
00:43:20,514 --> 00:43:21,816
Oh, sir.

1518
00:43:22,015 --> 00:43:23,267
Coaker, what is it?

1519
00:43:23,376 --> 00:43:24,367
Mrs. Mont, sir.

1520
00:43:24,416 --> 00:43:24,666
She's started.

1521
00:43:24,717 --> 00:43:26,138
What? When?

1522
00:43:26,148 --> 00:43:27,538
Three hours ago now.

1523
00:43:27,557 --> 00:43:28,328
Mrs. Dartie's with her,

1524
00:43:28,529 --> 00:43:28,638
and the doctor.

1525
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,422
Oh, god!

1526
00:43:35,442 --> 00:43:42,165
There you are,

1527
00:43:42,175 --> 00:43:42,394
dear boy.

1528
00:43:42,435 --> 00:43:43,696
Now, you mustn't worry.

1529
00:43:43,715 --> 00:43:44,456
Everything's

1530
00:43:44,486 --> 00:43:44,896
perfectly normal.

1531
00:43:45,095 --> 00:43:45,506
Normal? But it's

1532
00:43:45,536 --> 00:43:46,076
10 days too soon.

1533
00:43:46,276 --> 00:43:47,597
But that's

1534
00:43:47,637 --> 00:43:48,008
absolutely splendid.

1535
00:43:48,037 --> 00:43:49,208
It's so much better

1536
00:43:49,238 --> 00:43:49,709
than being late, you know.

1537
00:43:49,738 --> 00:43:51,048
The doctor thinks it might have

1538
00:43:51,059 --> 00:43:51,509
been that thunderstorm.

1539
00:43:51,549 --> 00:43:53,310
It was most helpful.

1540
00:43:55,250 --> 00:43:56,221
And that is normal too.

1541
00:43:56,231 --> 00:43:57,851
Now, go downstairs

1542
00:43:57,891 --> 00:43:58,251
like a sensible man.

1543
00:43:58,272 --> 00:43:59,853
I suggest

1544
00:43:59,893 --> 00:44:00,222
you have a drink.

1545
00:44:00,233 --> 00:44:02,124
What?

1546
00:44:02,144 --> 00:44:04,065
But when will it all be over?

1547
00:44:04,105 --> 00:44:06,266
Not very long.

1548
00:44:06,296 --> 00:44:07,436
She's behaving

1549
00:44:07,446 --> 00:44:08,991
beautifully.

1550
00:44:09,192 --> 00:44:10,737
Yes, she would.

1551
00:44:10,757 --> 00:44:11,813
Perhaps you might like

1552
00:44:12,013 --> 00:44:13,069
to telephone my brother?

1553
00:44:13,119 --> 00:44:14,779
He'd like

1554
00:44:14,809 --> 00:44:15,040
to be told.

1555
00:44:15,059 --> 00:44:16,480
Yes, of course.

1556
00:44:16,500 --> 00:44:18,400
Run along then,dear.

1557
00:44:18,592 --> 00:44:19,456
There's nothing

1558
00:44:19,657 --> 00:44:20,522
you can do here.

1559
00:44:20,542 --> 00:44:23,523
I'm quite well aware of that.

1560
00:44:23,544 --> 00:44:26,865
Thanks, aunt winifred.

1561
00:44:26,895 --> 00:44:27,336
I mean, for being here.

1562
00:45:06,362 --> 00:45:08,513
This thing...

1563
00:45:08,714 --> 00:45:10,265
there's something chinese

1564
00:45:10,304 --> 00:45:10,315
about it.

1565
00:45:10,515 --> 00:45:11,596
I wasn't expecting you back,

1566
00:45:11,615 --> 00:45:11,935
mr. Soames.

1567
00:45:11,955 --> 00:45:14,367
I was off early.

1568
00:45:14,407 --> 00:45:15,137
My wife's got a little party.

1569
00:45:15,157 --> 00:45:19,679
So I see.

1570
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,250
I came in to ask you

1571
00:45:22,260 --> 00:45:23,481
to draw up my resignation

1572
00:45:23,500 --> 00:45:23,951
from the forsyte trusts.

1573
00:45:23,971 --> 00:45:28,843
No, mr. Soames. You'd never...

1574
00:45:29,042 --> 00:45:29,898
keep me in timothy's,

1575
00:45:30,098 --> 00:45:30,954
but the rest can go.

1576
00:45:31,155 --> 00:45:32,965
Young roger

1577
00:45:32,985 --> 00:45:33,364
can look after them.

1578
00:45:33,385 --> 00:45:35,207
He's got nothing else

1579
00:45:35,236 --> 00:45:35,377
to do.

1580
00:45:35,386 --> 00:45:36,107
Dear me.

1581
00:45:36,117 --> 00:45:36,807
Well, they won't like it.

1582
00:45:36,826 --> 00:45:40,478
Well, they must lump it.

1583
00:45:40,499 --> 00:45:43,879
I want a rest.

1584
00:45:43,900 --> 00:45:45,320
Then I shan't see you so often.

1585
00:45:45,340 --> 00:45:48,371
There's never anything

1586
00:45:48,572 --> 00:45:48,722
in timothy'S.

1587
00:45:48,763 --> 00:45:51,564
I'm quite upset.

1588
00:45:51,574 --> 00:45:52,854
Won't you keep

1589
00:45:52,883 --> 00:45:53,294
mrs. Dartie's?

1590
00:45:53,314 --> 00:45:57,506
Oh. Well, yes.

1591
00:45:57,516 --> 00:45:57,835
Keep me in hers.

1592
00:45:57,846 --> 00:46:00,487
I shall be in

1593
00:46:00,687 --> 00:46:01,108
about my own affairs.

1594
00:46:03,599 --> 00:46:08,901
Yes?

1595
00:46:09,102 --> 00:46:11,462
Mr. Mont, sir. For you.

1596
00:46:11,493 --> 00:46:13,924
Will you hold on?

1597
00:46:20,947 --> 00:46:23,218
Hello?

1598
00:46:23,228 --> 00:46:26,229
What did you say?

1599
00:46:26,429 --> 00:46:28,050
What?!

1600
00:46:28,070 --> 00:46:29,250
Yes, I'll be around

1601
00:46:29,271 --> 00:46:29,451
at once.

1602
00:46:36,503 --> 00:46:43,237
It's all right, coaker.

1603
00:46:43,256 --> 00:46:43,578
I'll get it.

1604
00:46:43,588 --> 00:46:46,678
Well?

1605
00:46:46,688 --> 00:46:47,259
No, not yet, sir.

1606
00:46:48,730 --> 00:46:52,961
Mrs. Dartie's

1607
00:46:52,971 --> 00:46:53,261
with her.

1608
00:46:53,281 --> 00:46:54,292
Ah.

1609
00:46:54,312 --> 00:46:54,692
She's being a brick.

1610
00:46:54,712 --> 00:46:56,393
Everything's going

1611
00:46:56,412 --> 00:46:56,833
very well, apparently.

1612
00:46:56,863 --> 00:46:58,223
Good.

1613
00:46:58,264 --> 00:46:58,595
Won't you come in?

1614
00:46:58,614 --> 00:47:04,236
Would you like a peg?

1615
00:47:04,267 --> 00:47:04,897
I've got some brandy here.

1616
00:47:05,097 --> 00:47:06,668
Oh, yes, yes.

1617
00:47:06,698 --> 00:47:06,998
Anything.

1618
00:47:21,004 --> 00:47:23,725
Thank you.

1619
00:47:23,926 --> 00:47:28,148
That was some speech

1620
00:47:28,167 --> 00:47:29,108
of yours this afternoon.

1621
00:47:29,308 --> 00:47:30,248
You certainly gave it

1622
00:47:30,258 --> 00:47:30,748
to them between the eyes.

1623
00:47:30,768 --> 00:47:32,829
Yes. Did it do the trick?

1624
00:47:32,839 --> 00:47:34,050
Not half.

1625
00:47:34,070 --> 00:47:35,051
When I left,

1626
00:47:35,071 --> 00:47:35,560
they were passing a vote

1627
00:47:35,762 --> 00:47:36,251
of confidence in the board.

1628
00:47:36,261 --> 00:47:39,262
They would.

1629
00:47:39,273 --> 00:47:39,592
Well, it was all

1630
00:47:39,622 --> 00:47:39,953
your doing, sir.

1631
00:47:40,203 --> 00:47:42,233
Very gallant,

1632
00:47:42,254 --> 00:47:42,564
if I may say so.

1633
00:47:42,583 --> 00:47:43,564
Nothing of the sort.

1634
00:47:43,584 --> 00:47:44,145
I lost my temper.

1635
00:47:49,147 --> 00:47:51,578
What about your father?

1636
00:47:51,598 --> 00:47:52,779
Oh, he pressed

1637
00:47:52,798 --> 00:47:53,108
his resignation.

1638
00:47:53,149 --> 00:47:58,871
It was quite unnecessary.

1639
00:47:59,072 --> 00:48:00,793
Yes, so I told him.

1640
00:48:07,815 --> 00:48:09,106
He'll miss the fees.

1641
00:48:09,116 --> 00:48:15,119
It's hard going, sir.

1642
00:48:15,128 --> 00:48:15,349
I'm sorry.

1643
00:48:52,425 --> 00:48:55,777
It's all over...

1644
00:48:55,797 --> 00:49:00,719
and it's all quite marvelous.

1645
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,190
Michael, you've got a son.

1646
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:05,492
I'll take him now,

1647
00:49:05,691 --> 00:49:06,773
mrs. Mont, shall I?

1648
00:49:06,972 --> 00:49:08,522
Oh, just a moment, nurse,

1649
00:49:08,554 --> 00:49:08,883
please. I want...

1650
00:49:09,084 --> 00:49:10,284
michael!

1651
00:49:10,483 --> 00:49:12,204
I want ting-a-ling

1652
00:49:12,214 --> 00:49:12,606
to see him.

1653
00:49:18,818 --> 00:49:20,918
There's no telling him

1654
00:49:20,928 --> 00:49:22,474
any fancy stories

1655
00:49:22,675 --> 00:49:24,220
about the stork.

1656
00:49:24,230 --> 00:49:25,301
I'm afraid it's time

1657
00:49:25,501 --> 00:49:26,021
for our sleep now, mr. Mont.

1658
00:49:26,041 --> 00:49:28,502
Oh. Well...

1659
00:49:28,703 --> 00:49:31,032
thank you, nurse.

1660
00:49:36,045 --> 00:49:38,507
All right?

1661
00:49:38,526 --> 00:49:39,588
Yes, I am now,

1662
00:49:39,788 --> 00:49:40,848
but it was...

1663
00:49:40,858 --> 00:49:41,978
oh, it was like being held down,

1664
00:49:42,019 --> 00:49:42,348
michael...

1665
00:49:42,368 --> 00:49:45,950
months of not being yourself.

1666
00:49:45,969 --> 00:49:46,840
Well, the process is a bit

1667
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:47,190
behind the times.

1668
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,693
Well, it's over.

1669
00:49:50,712 --> 00:49:51,162
Has anybody called?

1670
00:49:51,182 --> 00:49:54,164
Everybody.

1671
00:49:54,184 --> 00:49:54,435
Really?

1672
00:49:54,454 --> 00:49:54,954
Yes! Alison, brenda...

1673
00:49:55,154 --> 00:49:55,655
bart, of course. Aubrey...

1674
00:49:55,854 --> 00:49:59,706
and holly dartie's

1675
00:49:59,747 --> 00:50:00,046
downstairs now.

1676
00:50:00,056 --> 00:50:00,967
Well, aunt winifred

1677
00:50:00,996 --> 00:50:01,307
said last night

1678
00:50:01,347 --> 00:50:03,407
you wanted to see her.

1679
00:50:03,449 --> 00:50:04,578
Yes, I did say something.

1680
00:50:04,598 --> 00:50:05,079
I can't think why.

1681
00:50:05,089 --> 00:50:07,609
Now, michael,

1682
00:50:07,660 --> 00:50:08,150
about godparents...

1683
00:50:08,170 --> 00:50:09,791
alison, of course,

1684
00:50:09,810 --> 00:50:10,321
but what about men?

1685
00:50:10,351 --> 00:50:11,191
I had a letter

1686
00:50:11,211 --> 00:50:11,781
from wilfrid desert yesterday.

1687
00:50:11,983 --> 00:50:15,033
Where is he?

1688
00:50:15,233 --> 00:50:17,570
In arabia.

1689
00:50:17,769 --> 00:50:20,106
Fleur,

1690
00:50:20,116 --> 00:50:20,505
would you like him?

1691
00:50:20,526 --> 00:50:22,552
He's staying there,

1692
00:50:22,751 --> 00:50:24,778
but I could hold

1693
00:50:24,788 --> 00:50:25,319
a sponge for him in church.

1694
00:50:25,348 --> 00:50:27,319
Is he all right again?

1695
00:50:27,329 --> 00:50:29,144
He says so.

1696
00:50:29,344 --> 00:50:31,161
Well, wilfrid,

1697
00:50:31,171 --> 00:50:31,621
if you'd like that.

1698
00:50:31,661 --> 00:50:33,572
Yes.

1699
00:50:33,912 --> 00:50:36,133
That'll be holly.

1700
00:50:36,143 --> 00:50:39,844
Hello.

1701
00:50:39,865 --> 00:50:40,995
Is it all right, michael?

1702
00:50:41,194 --> 00:50:41,275
Can I come in?

1703
00:50:41,314 --> 00:50:42,825
Yes, of course.

1704
00:50:43,026 --> 00:50:43,076
Come in.

1705
00:50:43,096 --> 00:50:45,817
Hello, fleur. Congratulations.

1706
00:50:45,827 --> 00:50:48,318
Oh, thank you.

1707
00:50:48,339 --> 00:50:49,448
Would you like

1708
00:50:49,469 --> 00:50:50,379
to see christopher?

1709
00:50:50,579 --> 00:50:51,490
"Kit" for short.

1710
00:50:51,529 --> 00:50:53,051
Very much.

1711
00:50:53,071 --> 00:50:55,192
Oh, thank you.

1712
00:50:55,202 --> 00:50:56,592
Well, just go straight in.

1713
00:50:56,632 --> 00:50:57,263
The nursery's next door.

1714
00:50:57,273 --> 00:50:59,864
Oh, but holly...

1715
00:50:59,874 --> 00:51:00,865
yes, fleur?

1716
00:51:00,874 --> 00:51:02,454
You were against me,

1717
00:51:02,656 --> 00:51:02,705
weren't you,

1718
00:51:02,734 --> 00:51:05,206
three years ago?

1719
00:51:05,236 --> 00:51:07,457
Well, I...

1720
00:51:07,657 --> 00:51:11,769
yes, yes, you were.

1721
00:51:11,969 --> 00:51:12,120
And it was...

1722
00:51:12,149 --> 00:51:13,220
well, it was hard for me

00:51:13,249 --> 00:51:13,620
to forgive.

1724
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,881
But I'm sort of starting

1725
00:51:15,911 --> 00:51:16,570
all over again. Shake hands?

1726
00:51:16,771 --> 00:51:19,033

00:51:22,915 --> 00:51:23,435

00:51:25,075 --> 00:51:26,325
growing peaches.

1731
00:51:26,526 --> 00:51:27,776
Oh... farmer jon.

1732
00:51:27,796 --> 00:51:29,208

1733
00:51:29,227 --> 00:51:29,537
he's met a girl.

1734
00:51:29,577 --> 00:51:31,517

00:51:31,527 --> 00:51:33,449
Anne wilmot.

1736
00:51:33,479 --> 00:51:34,749
Is she nice?

1737
00:51:34,780 --> 00:51:38,000
I hope she is.
