1
00:00:31,453 --> 00:00:32,845
[ Mr. Scone ]  Good.

2
00:00:33,062 --> 00:00:33,873
So.

3
00:00:35,209 --> 00:00:39,282
Now, if...If you would stand
over here again,

4
00:00:39,317 --> 00:00:41,092
and put the famous
chair in the fireplace.

5
00:00:41,127 --> 00:00:44,103
Yes.
And drape to the cloth.

6
00:00:44,571 --> 00:00:48,125
as it won't pinch you.
or, uh, more languorous.

7
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:49,533
Hmm?

8
00:00:55,606 --> 00:00:57,576
- And?
- Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

9
00:00:59,888 --> 00:01:02,221
Question of getting
the right pose, you see.

10
00:01:03,202 --> 00:01:05,834
And making these quick
sketches to brood on.

11
00:01:06,756 --> 00:01:10,046
- Then, having selected the one,
getting it down with the passion.

12
00:01:10,081 --> 00:01:10,926
- [ Ralph Bellamy ]  Quite.

13
00:01:13,792 --> 00:01:17,750
I've no time for Sergeant’s method of
painting a face a dozen different ways

14
00:01:17,785 --> 00:01:20,451
and then cutting back
to the first one.

15
00:01:20,958 --> 00:01:23,784
- Isn't the ear of the
jaw line a little angular?

16
00:01:24,199 --> 00:01:27,398
- Well, huh, ha, I see what you're getting at.
It...it's very strong of course.

17
00:01:28,236 --> 00:01:31,466
No, I don't want you drawn soft
to flatter him, Lady Marjorie.

18
00:01:31,774 --> 00:01:35,070
Well, I see you as a woman
of personality, decision.

19
00:01:35,515 --> 00:01:37,398
Strong loyalty, even.
- Ha.

20
00:01:37,433 --> 00:01:39,792
- You're entitled to your
opinion, Scone.  - Huh, huh, huh.

21
00:01:39,827 --> 00:01:42,014
Shall we turn him out?

22
00:01:42,802 --> 00:01:44,602
Husbands with great trials, mind you.

23
00:01:44,943 --> 00:01:47,053
They look on their
wives as possessions

24
00:01:47,688 --> 00:01:50,581
and the portrait
as a kind of display case.

25
00:01:51,045 --> 00:01:53,345
- [ MB ]  And wives, Mr. Scone?
- Huh, huh.

26
00:01:53,750 --> 00:01:55,163
They don't ever see.

27
00:01:55,674 --> 00:01:58,788
Besides, they like their husbands
to appear strong men of the world.

28
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,675
Which is much easier
to comply with.

29
00:02:01,973 --> 00:02:05,277
I mean if I...I saw
your husband as a...a lily,

30
00:02:05,312 --> 00:02:06,880
and wanted to paint
him like that,

31
00:02:07,307 --> 00:02:08,937
what you say, huh?

32
00:02:08,972 --> 00:02:10,677
- [ RB ] Send for the
police, I should think.

33
00:02:10,712 --> 00:02:11,783
- Ha, ha, ha.

34
00:02:11,973 --> 00:02:14,471
- I just got back...
Could you turn this way for me.

35
00:02:14,506 --> 00:02:15,468
- I've come back from Paris.

36
00:02:16,211 --> 00:02:18,644
- Where there's an exhibition
of Sebastian, French painting,

37
00:02:18,679 --> 00:02:21,077
which you really must try and see
next time you're over there.

38
00:02:23,048 --> 00:02:24,649
- And what shall I see,
Mr. Scone?

39
00:02:24,684 --> 00:02:27,373
Life and color as you've
never seen before.

40
00:02:27,818 --> 00:02:30,176
- I sent my cousin,
young John Strack Ken,

41
00:02:30,211 --> 00:02:32,535
- over to buy a Degas
for that drafty seat

42
00:02:32,570 --> 00:02:33,877
- of those in Perkshire.

43
00:02:34,254 --> 00:02:37,194
- But the fool brought one of
those Renoir's lush pieces.

44
00:02:37,783 --> 00:02:39,081
- He said the
Dowager wouldn't have a

45
00:02:39,116 --> 00:02:41,381
- servant hanging in
the drawing room. Huh.

46
00:02:41,416 --> 00:02:42,587
- [ RB ]  That old Lady Abercraven?

47
00:02:42,622 --> 00:02:44,298
- Yes, my own sainted aunt.

48
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:45,937
Uh, head this way a little.

49
00:02:45,972 --> 00:02:47,779
- You'll be going up to
Abercraven for the twelfth?

50
00:02:47,814 --> 00:02:50,966
- My dear Bellamy,
since I ran a...I'm sorry.

51
00:02:51,001 --> 00:02:54,163
Since I ran away to Paris
to become a disreputable painter

52
00:02:54,579 --> 00:02:57,990
I've managed, thank God, to see
as little of my family as I wish.

53
00:02:58,242 --> 00:02:59,389
Aw, uh.

54
00:03:01,387 --> 00:03:05,003
- Besides, the destruction of small
birds doesn't really interest me.

55
00:03:06,112 --> 00:03:06,922
- Yes.

56
00:03:09,292 --> 00:03:11,247
- [ Sighs ]  Now...

57
00:03:12,112 --> 00:03:14,205
- How shall we close
the portrait, huh?

58
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,917
Would you like me...
- My dear Lady Marjorie.

59
00:03:16,952 --> 00:03:19,594
- An artist and a woman
would never agree

60
00:03:19,629 --> 00:03:21,046
- on such a delicate matter.

61
00:03:21,214 --> 00:03:24,236
- Besides, an artists vision is quite
different from that of a lady of fashion.

62
00:03:24,782 --> 00:03:27,040
- Uh, will you join me in an
honorable compromise?

63
00:03:27,075 --> 00:03:29,969
The two words rarely go together,
Mr. Scone, at least not in politics.

64
00:03:30,004 --> 00:03:30,962
- Huh.
- And so?

65
00:03:30,997 --> 00:03:34,315
- So, if you would select one or two
of your most favored dresses

66
00:03:34,466 --> 00:03:37,116
and have them sent around to me
to examine for texture.

67
00:03:37,151 --> 00:03:40,362
Something light and frothy, perhaps,
but leave the final decision to me.

68
00:03:40,397 --> 00:03:41,580
- Certainly.
- There.

69
00:03:41,615 --> 00:03:43,879
Wouldn't you call that
an honorable compromise?

70
00:03:43,914 --> 00:03:47,143
Giving us both the...
freedom of decision

71
00:03:47,877 --> 00:03:50,087
yet without the indignity
of a battle.

72
00:03:50,122 --> 00:03:52,487
- Yes, I don't think I'd like
to fight with you, Mr. Scone.

73
00:03:52,545 --> 00:03:53,898
- At least not yet.

74
00:03:54,688 --> 00:03:57,086
Well, as much as I'm enjoying the
carefree atmosphere

75
00:03:57,121 --> 00:03:59,922
of the artist's studio, I'm afraid
that affairs of state beckon.

76
00:04:00,542 --> 00:04:03,716
I'm due at the Admiralty in,
uh...oh, goodness half an hour.

77
00:04:03,855 --> 00:04:06,688
And the First Sea Lord
dislikes unpunctuality.

78
00:04:06,723 --> 00:04:09,470
In fact I require your
wife's patience no longer.

79
00:04:09,505 --> 00:04:10,662
The sketches are done

80
00:04:10,697 --> 00:04:11,906
- [ RB ]  Oh, good,
then you'll begin the paintings?

81
00:04:11,941 --> 00:04:12,845
Tomorrow afternoon.

82
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,866
Capital. Ah, Mr. Scone, I'm sure you'll
produce something quite outstanding.

83
00:04:16,901 --> 00:04:19,286
With such a charming subject,
how could I fail?

84
00:04:19,321 --> 00:04:21,755
Hudson, will you call a hansom?
Mr. Scone is leaving.  - Very good.

85
00:04:21,790 --> 00:04:23,177
Uh, no, not for me, thank you.

86
00:04:23,212 --> 00:04:25,778
I'll, uh, walk back to my studio
across the park.

87
00:04:26,468 --> 00:04:29,092
Till tomorrow, then, and, you uh,
you won't forget the dresses?

88
00:04:29,127 --> 00:04:30,498
- They'll shall be sent out
this afternoon,

89
00:04:30,533 --> 00:04:32,913
and I'll expect you here
tomorrow at three o'clock?

90
00:04:32,948 --> 00:04:35,462
My lady.
Lady Marjorie and Mr. Bellamy.

91
00:04:40,343 --> 00:04:43,020
- Well? - Well, I hope you've
chosen the right man.

92
00:04:43,055 --> 00:04:44,874
- He'll be an exciting painter, Richard.

93
00:04:44,909 --> 00:04:46,990
That I don't doubt, but is
it necessary for a painter

94
00:04:47,025 --> 00:04:48,026
to talk quite so much?

95
00:04:48,061 --> 00:04:51,159
I found his conversation very
interesting and stimulating.

96
00:04:51,194 --> 00:04:54,257
Rather you than me.
I don't have to listen him all day.

97
00:04:54,292 --> 00:04:55,940
Well, I must go.
Now, uh...

98
00:04:55,975 --> 00:04:57,864
dinner at 8:30, I believe
and a white waistcoat?

99
00:04:57,899 --> 00:04:59,939
Uh huh, you won't be late,
will you, the Sethels are coming.

100
00:04:59,974 --> 00:05:02,516
I will not be late.
And if that talkative fellow

101
00:05:02,551 --> 00:05:05,059
does not do justice to my
wife's beauty I shall...

102
00:05:05,094 --> 00:05:06,536
What shall you do?
[ Kiss ]

103
00:05:06,571 --> 00:05:07,679
I shall hang him

104
00:05:08,332 --> 00:05:10,209
- next to one of his
own portraits. - Huh.

105
00:05:13,764 --> 00:05:17,065
[ Knock on door ]
Entrée

106
00:05:18,461 --> 00:05:19,507
[ Knock on door ]

107
00:05:19,829 --> 00:05:21,472
Come in, damn you.

108
00:05:29,336 --> 00:05:30,599
What the devil.

109
00:05:30,634 --> 00:05:32,323
He said to bring
these on up, sir.

110
00:05:32,358 --> 00:05:33,038
He?

111
00:05:33,073 --> 00:05:34,681
The tall chap downstairs.

112
00:05:34,716 --> 00:05:36,212
My servant, my servant.

113
00:05:36,369 --> 00:05:37,940
Why didn't he bring
them up himself?

114
00:05:39,043 --> 00:05:40,067
What are they, anyway?

115
00:05:40,102 --> 00:05:42,343
- Lady Marjorie Bellamy's dresses, sir.
- Oh.

116
00:05:48,078 --> 00:05:49,197
Will that be all, sir?

117
00:05:49,646 --> 00:05:50,552
What's your name?

118
00:05:50,856 --> 00:05:52,487
Sarah,...sir.

119
00:05:53,301 --> 00:05:55,124
You can drop
the "sir" with me.

120
00:05:55,557 --> 00:05:57,048
You don't like
saying it, anyway.

121
00:05:57,083 --> 00:05:59,014
How do you know
what I don't like saying?

122
00:05:59,658 --> 00:06:02,821
Hold that.   I want you
to show me these dresses.

123
00:06:11,219 --> 00:06:12,361
Hold out. Come on.

124
00:06:12,634 --> 00:06:14,131
Hold it up. Hold it up.

125
00:06:15,420 --> 00:06:17,584
Dyesh!
Looks like a dust sheet.

126
00:06:18,156 --> 00:06:19,016
Next.

127
00:06:23,197 --> 00:06:26,533
Ah, the simple milkmaid.
I might have known

128
00:06:26,568 --> 00:06:28,373
there'd be one of those.
Huh.

129
00:06:28,576 --> 00:06:32,439
It never works over 41,
and they never learn.

130
00:06:32,474 --> 00:06:35,157
- Ohh, come off it! She never
suppose you're lookin' for her age.

131
00:06:35,192 --> 00:06:37,048
But a tyrant underneath,
are they, uh?

132
00:06:37,083 --> 00:06:38,759
I don't think you
ought to ask me that.

133
00:06:38,794 --> 00:06:40,383
What about the butler?

134
00:06:40,575 --> 00:06:43,231
- Is he with you?
- Pooh, I'd like to see him try.

135
00:06:43,266 --> 00:06:43,862
- Ha, ha.

136
00:06:43,897 --> 00:06:46,150
Now.
But you're afraid of him.

137
00:06:46,185 --> 00:06:47,568
I'm not afraid of no one.

138
00:06:47,603 --> 00:06:50,380
When he's a little bad to me
he gives us a hour shop every week

139
00:06:50,415 --> 00:06:51,325
much more than most.

140
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,026
When's yours?

141
00:06:52,027 --> 00:06:52,930
Wednesdays.

142
00:06:53,757 --> 00:06:54,652
What do they pay you?

143
00:06:54,867 --> 00:06:56,055
Mind your own business.

144
00:06:57,134 --> 00:06:59,661
Ten pounds a year and
a bed in the basement.

145
00:06:59,696 --> 00:07:01,835
Noo, old clever, it is
twice that much

146
00:07:01,870 --> 00:07:02,947
and a room in the attic.

147
00:07:02,948 --> 00:07:04,206
And Rose gets thirty.

148
00:07:04,425 --> 00:07:05,204
Whose Rose?

149
00:07:05,239 --> 00:07:05,960
She's my friend.

150
00:07:06,461 --> 00:07:08,817
We've got this lovely
room up top together.

151
00:07:08,892 --> 00:07:10,646
And when we get
a bit of money together

152
00:07:10,681 --> 00:07:12,981
we're going up in a
boarding house in Brighton.

153
00:07:13,095 --> 00:07:14,538
No!  Next.

154
00:07:15,570 --> 00:07:18,004
Uh, you'd better fancy this one.

155
00:07:18,464 --> 00:07:21,034
- Yes, put it on. Put it on.
- Because it's the last.

156
00:07:21,322 --> 00:07:22,349
- My word.

157
00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:25,315
- Eh, come over here.
Come over here.

158
00:07:28,767 --> 00:07:29,658
Ah.

159
00:07:32,905 --> 00:07:33,955
Now, look.

160
00:07:34,523 --> 00:07:37,563
Will you bury all that beauty
in a boarding house in Brighton?

161
00:07:37,924 --> 00:07:40,676
- Hmm.
I want to thank you, Brighton.

162
00:07:40,896 --> 00:07:43,499
- Bowls at the pavilion,
and a gentleman to hand me

163
00:07:43,534 --> 00:07:45,674
- after my bathing machine
into the water.

164
00:07:45,795 --> 00:07:49,260
- And perhaps a drive along
the front in a motor car.

165
00:07:49,295 --> 00:07:50,002
Hmm.

166
00:07:50,945 --> 00:07:53,426
He's talking a now they
let you girls read.

167
00:07:53,461 --> 00:07:55,058
Huh. He's never
been to Brighton.

168
00:07:55,093 --> 00:07:56,620
- Aw. Me thoughts are
all the same.

169
00:07:56,655 --> 00:07:58,152
- You've seen one,
you've seen 'em all.

170
00:07:58,187 --> 00:07:59,040
Yes, that's the one.

171
00:07:59,075 --> 00:07:59,669
- Pardon?

172
00:07:59,704 --> 00:08:00,301
That's the one.

173
00:08:00,517 --> 00:08:02,792
Tell your mistress, that's
the one I want her to wear.

174
00:08:03,014 --> 00:08:05,470
Now, put them all back
in the box and off you go.

175
00:08:10,311 --> 00:08:11,789
- I've been to South End.

176
00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:14,801
- Rose!

177
00:08:15,637 --> 00:08:17,116
- Rose.
- Where have you been?

178
00:08:17,151 --> 00:08:18,766
-You've only got
five minutes to change.

179
00:08:18,801 --> 00:08:21,688
- Time to set drawing room two.
- Rose, I've got a letter.

180
00:08:22,243 --> 00:08:23,569
- Look, it says by hand.

181
00:08:23,604 --> 00:08:25,199
I managed to read
that much myself.

182
00:08:25,234 --> 00:08:26,714
You'll have to do the rest.

183
00:08:26,749 --> 00:08:28,194
- You try.
- You know I can't.

184
00:08:28,229 --> 00:08:29,693
You can if you persevere.

185
00:08:29,728 --> 00:08:30,979
Oh, Rose, it's not like print.

186
00:08:31,014 --> 00:08:32,982
Real write is different
with all them squiggles.

187
00:08:33,017 --> 00:08:35,538
It's too hard for me.
Please, Rose.

188
00:08:35,539 --> 00:08:37,808
If you don't hurry up,
you'll be late downstairs.

189
00:08:38,611 --> 00:08:39,808
Where'd you get it then?

190
00:08:39,843 --> 00:08:42,537
Rose, I was coming down
the (idean) steps,

191
00:08:42,711 --> 00:08:45,887
and...this chap
handed it to me.

192
00:08:45,922 --> 00:08:47,090
- What sort of chap?

193
00:08:47,125 --> 00:08:49,337
Oh, nobody special,
just ordinary looking.

194
00:08:49,372 --> 00:08:51,549
And he gave it to you,
just like that?

195
00:08:51,584 --> 00:08:52,789
Yes, just like that.

196
00:08:53,744 --> 00:08:55,470
Well, don't you believe me?

197
00:08:55,663 --> 00:08:58,245
But, go on open it, maybe
it'll show who it's from.

198
00:08:59,051 --> 00:09:00,188
What's it say?

199
00:09:00,408 --> 00:09:03,480
If this is one of your games.

200
00:09:05,575 --> 00:09:07,956
Who'd you get
to write if for you, then?

201
00:09:07,991 --> 00:09:10,897
Same person as wrote your
French reference, I suppose.

202
00:09:10,932 --> 00:09:13,241
Well, you may have fooled
Lady Marjorie and the agency,

203
00:09:13,276 --> 00:09:14,496
but you can't fool me.

204
00:09:14,531 --> 00:09:16,964
Rose, honest to God
and cut me throat

205
00:09:16,999 --> 00:09:18,296

- There!

- You expect me
to believe that?

216

Well, why shouldn't
I have an admirer.

- Who is he, then?
- Oh, um, probably someone

218
00:09:56,918 --> 00:09:59,854
- who's seen me around
in the park or something.

219
00:09:59,915 --> 00:10:01,837
- Oh, now does he
know your name?

220
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,551
- "Divine Sarah."

221
00:10:03,586 --> 00:10:06,490
- Sarah Bernhardt.
She's an actress, French woman.

222

- He's laughing at you.

223

- He shouldn't even laugh
real easily

- Oh, I won't sleep tonight.

- You're not going.
- Why not!

227
00:10:16,047 --> 00:10:19,054
- Gentlemen don't make
assignations with house maids

228
00:10:19,089 --> 00:10:22,234
- for the charm of
their conversation, you know.

229
00:10:22,269 --> 00:10:25,113
- Assignations!
Oh, that sounds very romantic.

230
00:10:25,148 --> 00:10:27,957
Not so romantic when
you're turned off in disgrace

231
00:10:27,992 --> 00:10:29,542
- and the father won't marry you.
- Oh.

232

- They never do, you know.

233
00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:35,949
- When it's all over
you're thrown in the corner

234
00:10:35,984 --> 00:10:38,623
- like a rag doll
the moths have been at.

235
00:10:39,103 --> 00:10:42,078
- Sometimes girls don't
come back at all.

236
00:10:42,345 --> 00:10:45,593
- They end up on a slab
in a morgue.

237
00:10:45,628 --> 00:10:48,806
- Don't, you make me
feel all funny.

- How can you bear
anyone pulling you about?

- Aw, it's only you
says he will.

- If he's a gentleman...
- If he's a gentleman

- he'll pull you about.

242
00:10:56,966 --> 00:10:58,155
- Sarah, don't go.

243
00:10:58,190 --> 00:11:00,542
- Don't worry, Rose,
I'm ever so strong.

244
00:11:00,624 --> 00:11:02,136
- If'n he gets you tipsy?

245
00:11:02,171 --> 00:11:04,323
- Yeah, that's right, I'm bubbly.

246
00:11:14,649 --> 00:11:16,631
Very refreshing, I must say.

247
00:11:34,835 --> 00:11:37,073
What's that bed doing there?
It wasn't there before.

248

- For models...posing.

- Sometimes I use it myself.

250
00:11:42,858 --> 00:11:43,887
I'll bet.

251
00:11:46,867 --> 00:11:50,734
Um,...what was this
proposition that you

252
00:11:50,769 --> 00:11:52,095
wanted to talk to me about?

253
00:11:52,727 --> 00:11:55,202
I  only take propositions
from gentlemen, mind.

254
00:11:55,237 --> 00:11:56,283
- How do you know
I'm not a gentleman?

255
00:11:56,318 --> 00:11:57,752
Cause you're a painter!

256
00:11:57,787 --> 00:11:59,361
- Hah, cousin to an earl.

257
00:11:59,396 --> 00:12:00,899
Ooh, and I'm (bobbing) away.

258
00:12:00,934 --> 00:12:02,402
- It's true!
- Prove it!

Well, go on. Off you go.

Isn't it a little bit late
for you to be out? Hmm?

Of course you won't
have much to tell,

but I'm sure you'll make up
something as you go along.

really an earl?

turned out to be a gent,

I wasn't to trust you.

271
00:12:39,769 --> 00:12:41,609
Rose is a very wise girl.

272
00:12:44,288 --> 00:12:46,632
Rose says this Sarah...
what's her name?

273
00:12:46,682 --> 00:12:47,794
- Bernhardt.
- Yes.

274

Uh, is a French actress.

be able to resist that.

Sarah Bernhardt!

All right, what is it?

why does he bother painting you?

Aw, Rose, you see,
he's been in Paris all this while,

until they become famous.

to me in terms of paint.

to give our chosen impression.

-  Huh.  He can't be.

Bishop's Gate Street.

517
00:24:57,698 --> 00:24:58,963
That's within reason.

518
00:24:59,187 --> 00:25:00,703
- Moving pictures?
- Yeah!

519
00:25:00,738 --> 00:25:02,218
Alfred went once
on his night off,

520
00:25:02,253 --> 00:25:03,728
and he told us
all about it.

521
00:25:03,792 --> 00:25:06,759
They're real people,
not painting and still,

522
00:25:06,794 --> 00:25:11,429
but...moving and motorcars
in all seasons. The King, himself.

523
00:25:11,464 --> 00:25:12,448
- I know.

524
00:25:12,483 --> 00:25:14,956
Have you been?
Oh, take me. You promised.

525
00:25:14,991 --> 00:25:18,137
- Then what is so exciting about
the series of flickering shapes?

526
00:25:18,172 --> 00:25:19,414
Because they're real!

527
00:25:19,449 --> 00:25:22,281
They happen just like that.
Nobody made them up.

528
00:25:22,316 --> 00:25:23,101
They're true!

529
00:25:23,136 --> 00:25:24,022
And what about art?

530
00:25:25,343 --> 00:25:28,205
Aw, art's all right
for those than can afford it

531
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,152
- but...it's not true, is it?
- Naw.

532
00:25:31,187 --> 00:25:32,882
- Well, I'll tell you something.
- Yes, but...

533
00:25:32,917 --> 00:25:34,543
- Can we go?
- Be quiet and listen.

534
00:25:35,315 --> 00:25:36,847
They've betrayed art.

535
00:25:37,627 --> 00:25:39,772
All the academicians that
have spent a lifetime

536
00:25:39,807 --> 00:25:43,164
painting a...a chair so exact
that you could almost sit on it.

537
00:25:43,192 --> 00:25:45,032
And now they take
sixty pictures first

538
00:25:45,067 --> 00:25:47,281
to make sure to get
every angle, right?

539
00:25:47,316 --> 00:25:49,496
They are destroying
artistic imagination.

540
00:25:49,907 --> 00:25:50,936
You know what will happen?

541
00:25:51,021 --> 00:25:54,580
We will be so sickened by these
pictures of eight photographs

542
00:25:54,870 --> 00:25:57,417
that we won't be able
to paint a human being at all.

543
00:25:57,452 --> 00:26:01,161
And it'll be your fault, with your
naive demand for the truth.

544
00:26:01,196 --> 00:26:04,319
- It's not my fault. - Um.
Get ready. - Are we going?

545
00:26:04,403 --> 00:26:07,633
Who am I to stop
the march of civilization?

546
00:26:07,668 --> 00:26:10,553
- Allons.  - Pardon.
- Au Bioscope. - Huh?

547
00:26:11,164 --> 00:26:12,344
- Get dressed!

548
00:26:12,511 --> 00:26:16,480
- Oh, we're going! - Yes.
- Ohhh. - Ha, ha, ha.

549
00:26:18,033 --> 00:26:19,687
- It was kind of you
to take it away

550
00:26:19,722 --> 00:26:21,341
- and frame it yourself.
- Not at all.

551
00:26:21,607 --> 00:26:23,743
- To the inexperienced eye
an unframed canvas

552
00:26:23,778 --> 00:26:25,170
- always looks like
rough work.

553
00:26:25,269 --> 00:26:27,012
- Also I wish to
give you pleasure.

554
00:26:27,396 --> 00:26:29,264
- You're very courteous,
Mr. Scone. [ Door opens ]

555
00:26:29,299 --> 00:26:30,321
- Ah, Richard.

556
00:26:30,356 --> 00:26:31,865
- I hope I'm not too late.
[ Door closes ]

557
00:26:31,900 --> 00:26:33,849
- [ Scone ] Lady Marjorie
tells me that she's as impatient

558
00:26:33,884 --> 00:26:35,662
- as a child before
a coveted treat.

559
00:26:35,698 --> 00:26:37,847
- Well, I must say I'm
a little curious myself.

560
00:26:37,882 --> 00:26:39,195
We've never had
a portrait before.

561
00:26:39,462 --> 00:26:41,328
Well, ah, where would
you like us to stand

562
00:26:41,363 --> 00:26:42,938
for the, uh,
for the unveiling.

563
00:26:42,973 --> 00:26:44,213
- Oh, just there, I think.

564
00:26:45,609 --> 00:26:49,412
- I must admit to, uh, feeling
a little like a conjuring uncle

565
00:26:49,447 --> 00:26:50,560
at a birthday party.

566
00:26:50,776 --> 00:26:52,367
Well, here goes.

567
00:26:53,205 --> 00:26:54,443
- Abracadabra.

568
00:26:57,625 --> 00:26:59,487
- Oh, Richard, say you like it.

569
00:27:01,316 --> 00:27:03,745
Well, I, ha...I don't know
what to say, ah.

570
00:27:04,413 --> 00:27:07,110
- [ R ]  It takes a little
getting used to, ah.

571
00:27:08,053 --> 00:27:10,412
- [ R ]  It, it's almost glowing.

572
00:27:10,904 --> 00:27:14,533
- [ R ]  Uh, uh, (tawnid),
ha, ha, is that the word?

573
00:27:15,663 --> 00:27:17,596
Makes you look
a bit of a wild cat.

574
00:27:19,933 --> 00:27:21,681
- It, it's certainly unusual.

575
00:27:22,654 --> 00:27:25,572
- [ R ]  Distinguished, in a way.

576
00:27:26,589 --> 00:27:28,788
- It, it, it does grow on one.

577
00:27:31,401 --> 00:27:33,282
- Is your hair really
that color?

578
00:27:33,317 --> 00:27:34,463
- [ S ]  I think so.

579
00:27:35,558 --> 00:27:37,715
You don't think
you've gone too far?

580
00:27:40,703 --> 00:27:46,674
- It's, uh,...a bit blurry.
- That's the new brush work.

581
00:27:46,709 --> 00:27:48,545
- Mr. Scone will think
us such philistines.

582
00:27:48,580 --> 00:27:51,155
- Lady Marjorie, I'm afraid you
won't convert your husband

583
00:27:51,190 --> 00:27:53,730
- to the new impressionist.
- No. No, no, no, I like it.

584
00:27:54,446 --> 00:27:56,049
- I've made up my mind.

585
00:27:56,737 --> 00:27:59,653
- Thank you, Scone.
Now, then...

586
00:28:01,035 --> 00:28:02,197
where shall we hang it?

587
00:28:02,229 --> 00:28:04,412
- Uh, first, I would
like to borrow it.

588
00:28:04,447 --> 00:28:06,406
- To borrow it?
- If I may, yes.

589
00:28:06,512 --> 00:28:08,686
- I would like to submit it
to the hanging committee

590
00:28:08,721 --> 00:28:10,446
- at the Royal Academy.
- The Academy?

591
00:28:10,481 --> 00:28:12,910
Aren't they rather more
traditional in their requirements?

592
00:28:12,983 --> 00:28:15,469
- Well, I think if you leave that
to me I think it can be arranged.

593
00:28:15,982 --> 00:28:18,224
- Ah, yes, guaranteed
a safe return, of course.

594
00:28:18,259 --> 00:28:20,186
- Richard, I think it's
a wonderful idea.

595
00:28:21,189 --> 00:28:23,451
- Here!
- Artistic license.

596
00:28:23,486 --> 00:28:24,670
- (Piggy thought).

597
00:28:26,723 --> 00:28:28,362
- Do I really look like that?

598
00:28:29,948 --> 00:28:31,544
- That's our room all right.

599
00:28:33,157 --> 00:28:34,924
- But, how do you know?
You've never been there.

600
00:28:34,959 --> 00:28:36,006
- I didn't need to.

601
00:28:37,637 --> 00:28:38,809
- Who's that behind me?

602
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:39,715
- Rose.

603
00:28:40,887 --> 00:28:42,995
- You've never seen Rose.
- I have

604
00:28:43,030 --> 00:28:44,430
- through your eyes.

605
00:28:46,318 --> 00:28:49,345
- Ah, there's all my things.
I leave them lying around.

606
00:28:49,380 --> 00:28:52,372
- Rose hangs hers up.
She's the tidy one.  - I know.

607
00:28:53,781 --> 00:28:56,252
- And, you don't mind
me mentioned it, but

608
00:28:56,287 --> 00:28:58,541
- here there should be a
little plaque with,

609
00:28:58,576 --> 00:29:01,170
- To Work is to Play,
written on it.

610
00:29:01,205 --> 00:29:03,764
- Ah, To Work is...
Yes. Uh, huh.

611
00:29:05,676 --> 00:29:06,666
- What'cha gonna' call it?

612
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:07,981
- The Maids.

613
00:29:08,412 --> 00:29:09,618
- Uhhhh.

614
00:29:10,492 --> 00:29:12,462
- That's not very
romantic, is it?

615
00:29:13,274 --> 00:29:15,257
- Why don't you call it
something nice like...

616
00:29:16,302 --> 00:29:18,771
- Waiting for Dawn, or
something like that.

617
00:29:18,806 --> 00:29:19,589
- Uh-uhh.

618
00:29:19,624 --> 00:29:21,546
- Well, there are pictures
subtitled like that.

619
00:29:21,581 --> 00:29:23,249
- Well, we have other
artists, too.

620
00:29:26,212 --> 00:29:28,086
- What'cha gonna' do with it now?

621
00:29:28,355 --> 00:29:29,223
- Sell it.

622
00:29:31,544 --> 00:29:33,547
- Sell me and Rose?
- Uh-huh.

623
00:29:37,581 --> 00:29:39,574
- You won't need me
anymore now, will you?

624
00:29:42,174 --> 00:29:44,841
- Now you've finished
your rotten old picture.

625
00:29:47,338 --> 00:29:49,472
- Cast off like an old shoe.

626
00:29:52,003 --> 00:29:53,563
- You've used me.

627
00:29:53,672 --> 00:29:56,401
- No...art has used you, Sarah.

628
00:29:57,165 --> 00:29:58,814
And it's used me, too.

629
00:30:02,477 --> 00:30:03,162
- There.

630
00:30:06,764 --> 00:30:08,379
Just a minute, Mr. Scone.

631
00:30:09,625 --> 00:30:11,608
Why aren't I your mistress?

632
00:30:12,497 --> 00:30:13,832
What's the matter with me?

633
00:30:13,867 --> 00:30:16,895
I was good enough for your
bleeding picture!

634
00:30:16,987 --> 00:30:19,613
- Oh, such language,
Madame Bernhardt!

635
00:30:19,749 --> 00:30:21,729
- Oh!
- Damn you!

636
00:30:21,764 --> 00:30:22,742
- What!
Now, wait a minute.

637
00:30:22,777 --> 00:30:26,276
- I wouldn't be your mistress if
you were the last man on earth!

638
00:30:26,311 --> 00:30:31,745
- But you might have bleeding
asked me!  - Ha, ha, ha.

639
00:30:32,899 --> 00:30:34,524
- What are you
laughing for?

640
00:30:34,737 --> 00:30:37,041
- You and your idea of decency.

641
00:30:38,517 --> 00:30:41,109
- Stop it!
Ha, ha.

642
00:30:53,515 --> 00:30:55,275
- That's not shocking.
There's a good girl.

643
00:30:58,058 --> 00:30:59,423
- It's our last night together.

644
00:31:00,678 --> 00:31:01,937
- I'll take you out to supper.

645
00:31:03,856 --> 00:31:05,315
- Then we'll go to the Bioscope.

646
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,149
- How about that, huh?

647
00:31:10,947 --> 00:31:13,365
- Charmed I'm sure, Mr. Scone.

- I don't know what
the world is coming to.

- What's that, Mr. Hudson?

653
00:31:31,296 --> 00:31:35,610
- House of Commons (Cumberland) sends
transfer to Middleboro for 1000 pounds.

654
00:31:36,144 --> 00:31:38,368
- No footballer is worth
that amount of money.

655
00:31:38,962 --> 00:31:40,966
- It's not a game anymore,
it's a blooming trade.

656

- (Not to me), Mr. Hudson.

657

- I didn't ask for
your opinion, Sarah.

658

clear the table.

I haven't done nothing, Mr. Hudson.
[ Bell rings ]

- Gasp! That's today's paper.
- Burn this

at once in the kitchen range,
you understand?

666
00:32:04,731 --> 00:32:06,788
And nobody must see it.
Burn it!

Don't just stand there, girl,
burn it!

And you wait in here,
my girl, until I return.

this morning, Hudson?

- Eh, not come yet sir.

672
00:32:22,895 --> 00:32:24,688
- It would be late this morning
when I especially wanted it.

673
00:32:24,723 --> 00:32:26,457
- I shall send someone
around to enquire just

674

- as soon as convenient, sir.

675
00:32:27,641 --> 00:32:29,530
- (I shall them to age)
and I'll get my papers elsewhere

at the Academy entrance at 4:30.

afternoon, eh, Hudson?

- Uh, quite, sir.

681
00:32:38,735 --> 00:32:41,152
Splendid morning.
I think I'll walk across the park.

682
00:32:41,977 --> 00:32:44,801
Tell Pearce he can put the carriage
away unless her ladyship wants it.

00:41:13,412 --> 00:41:16,216
- in the castle.
- I want you to tell 'em the truth.

846
00:41:16,251 --> 00:41:16,936
What truth?

847
00:41:16,971 --> 00:41:19,353
They think we let you
come up into our bedroom

848
00:41:19,388 --> 00:41:20,444
and paint us in bed.

849
00:41:20,479 --> 00:41:22,862
[ Laughing ]
- What are you laughing for?

850
00:41:22,897 --> 00:41:25,105
- The bourgeois mentality.

851
00:41:25,375 --> 00:41:28,461
- So they think I've been creeping
through the little green beige door

852
00:41:28,496 --> 00:41:29,659
- up to the attic, do they?

853
00:41:29,694 --> 00:41:31,157
- Lady Marjorie's terribly upset.

854
00:41:31,192 --> 00:41:32,673
- You shouldn't have done it to us.
- Done what?

855
00:41:32,708 --> 00:41:34,500
- Humiliated her in public.

856
00:41:34,879 --> 00:41:36,961
- That is the price of
being in the public eye.

857
00:41:36,996 --> 00:41:39,044
- And, now don't pretend
you're sorry for her.

858
00:41:39,079 --> 00:41:39,810
- I am.

859
00:41:40,001 --> 00:41:42,437
- If it had been me, I'd of...
I'd of died of shame.

860
00:41:42,472 --> 00:41:45,522
- Look, I am a painter and I
paint pictures, and that's that.

861
00:41:45,785 --> 00:41:48,818
- You can all go to hell
with your sickly hothouse emotions.

862
00:41:48,853 --> 00:41:51,210
- I'm going back to Paris
first thing in the morning.

863
00:41:51,854 --> 00:41:53,713
- (And hear of this damp and cloy.)

864
00:41:53,748 --> 00:41:56,058
- Don't go like that.
You can't.  - I am.

865
00:41:56,093 --> 00:41:57,633
- Now, go away and leave me alone.

866
00:41:58,544 --> 00:41:59,411
- Ugh!

867
00:42:02,249 --> 00:42:02,917
Look.

868
00:42:12,904 --> 00:42:14,601
I'll come and live here with you.

869
00:42:15,268 --> 00:42:17,739
And look after you,
and be your...

870
00:42:18,853 --> 00:42:22,137
Whatever you like, only...
get Rose off.

871
00:42:22,525 --> 00:42:23,778
Just do that.

872
00:42:26,491 --> 00:42:27,893
I'll do anything you want.

873
00:42:31,900 --> 00:42:32,750
Anything?

874
00:42:35,421 --> 00:42:36,480
All right.

875
00:42:38,167 --> 00:42:39,431
Take your clothes off.

876
00:42:45,028 --> 00:42:46,077
All of them.

877
00:42:50,041 --> 00:42:50,872
Go on!

878
00:42:54,198 --> 00:42:55,304
Would you like a drink?

879
00:42:56,851 --> 00:42:58,105
You may need one.

880
00:42:59,001 --> 00:43:02,084
You've no idea how bizarre
my tastes might be.

881
00:43:02,119 --> 00:43:05,168
[ Voices heard ]
I guess there's someone coming.

882
00:43:05,203 --> 00:43:07,055
- I know.
[ Knocking on door ]

883
00:43:07,555 --> 00:43:08,159
- Go on.

884
00:43:09,361 --> 00:43:11,497
[ Knocking on door ]
- Scone!

885
00:43:11,532 --> 00:43:13,633
- Oh, no. That's all I need.

886
00:43:14,407 --> 00:43:17,232
- You better get behind that screen.
You might learn something.

887
00:43:22,043 --> 00:43:23,575
[ Off-screen ]  - Ah, Bellamy.
- May I come in?

888
00:43:23,610 --> 00:43:24,763
- By all means.

889
00:43:27,871 --> 00:43:30,742
- Mr. Scone, I'd like to get
this thing settled once and for all.

890
00:43:30,777 --> 00:43:33,245
- Uh, Have you, uh, come to
challenge me to a duel?

891
00:43:33,667 --> 00:43:35,967
- Walking sticks or paint brushes
at fifty yards.

892
00:43:36,002 --> 00:43:38,028
- You can drop the flippancy
and tell me why you did it.

893
00:43:38,063 --> 00:43:38,838
- I did what?

894
00:43:39,622 --> 00:43:40,513
- The paintings.

895
00:43:40,548 --> 00:43:42,212
- I painted two pictures
and exhibited them.

896
00:43:42,247 --> 00:43:42,998
- And that's what they're for.

897
00:43:43,033 --> 00:43:45,106
- Surely you must know that
to hang those pictures side by side

898
00:43:45,141 --> 00:43:46,592
- will lead to gossip and comparison.

899
00:43:46,627 --> 00:43:47,891
- It never entered my head.

900
00:43:47,926 --> 00:43:49,413
- Huh. Would you like a drink?
- No.

901
00:43:49,448 --> 00:43:51,993
- I forgot about our
class conscious society.

902
00:43:52,028 --> 00:43:54,618
- I thought they were works of art
not social comment.

903
00:43:54,653 --> 00:43:56,366
- Was it necessary to
use my underhouse maid?

904
00:43:56,401 --> 00:43:58,478
- Sarah of the expressive eyes?

905
00:43:58,644 --> 00:44:01,187
- Both girls have got some
cock-and-bull story about

906
00:44:01,222 --> 00:44:02,507
- her visiting this studio.

907
00:44:02,542 --> 00:44:03,816
- Well, what do you
want me to say?

908
00:44:04,087 --> 00:44:06,759
- Sarah came here
on her evenings off.

909
00:44:07,168 --> 00:44:09,097
- Oh, she seems
to like you, by the way.

910
00:44:09,482 --> 00:44:11,796
- I trust you haven't been
discussing me with my servants?

911
00:44:11,831 --> 00:44:14,507
- Really, Bellamy, there's no
pleasing you this evening, is there?

912
00:44:14,948 --> 00:44:16,275
I thought you would
like to know that

913
00:44:16,310 --> 00:44:19,264
a pretty girl thinks
you're a good master.

914
00:44:19,299 --> 00:44:20,844
And which of the two
did you find the prettier?

915
00:44:20,879 --> 00:44:21,731
Which did you?

916
00:44:22,116 --> 00:44:22,945
I've only seen one.

917
00:44:22,980 --> 00:44:24,695
Do you honestly expect
me to believe that...

918
00:44:24,730 --> 00:44:25,710
Yes, I do.

919
00:44:25,994 --> 00:44:27,649
Do you think I'm such
a poor artist that I can't

920
00:44:27,684 --> 00:44:29,269
imagine the interior
of a housemaid's attic?

921
00:44:29,304 --> 00:44:31,398
Are you prepared to give me
your word that you were never

922
00:44:31,433 --> 00:44:32,359
upstairs in that room?

923
00:44:32,394 --> 00:44:32,917
Yes.

924
00:44:33,775 --> 00:44:36,960
I went to your house every
afternoon for one reason only.

925
00:44:37,472 --> 00:44:39,168
To paint your wife's portrait.

926
00:44:40,434 --> 00:44:41,566
- So they were telling the truth?

927
00:44:41,601 --> 00:44:43,618
Your servants?
Yes.

928
00:44:44,424 --> 00:44:45,852
I'm afraid you'll
have to keep them.

929
00:44:46,852 --> 00:44:48,925
That will depend on
my wife's attitude.

930
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:49,918
Oh, I don't know.

931
00:44:50,317 --> 00:44:52,587
Think of the ammunition
it will give the Liberals

932
00:44:52,658 --> 00:44:54,590
when they find out
a junior minister,

933
00:44:55,319 --> 00:44:58,014
a member of the Committee
for Imperial Defence,

934
00:44:58,833 --> 00:45:01,668
had dismissed two of his
servants for no reason at all

935
00:45:01,703 --> 00:45:03,566
except that his
wife's vanity was ruffled.

936
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:04,886
- Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

937
00:45:04,921 --> 00:45:08,313
- The radicals would call it
victimization, a favorite word of theirs.

938
00:45:08,348 --> 00:45:09,918
- I don't think that Balfour
would thank you

939
00:45:09,953 --> 00:45:11,324
- for adding to his troubles.

940
00:45:12,072 --> 00:45:13,592
- Even if you offered to resign.

941
00:45:14,827 --> 00:45:16,677
- I'd forget all about it
if I were you.

942
00:45:17,020 --> 00:45:18,750
- You'll find that everyone
else will do the same.

943
00:45:19,185 --> 00:45:20,914
You sound like a
blackmailer, Scone.

944
00:45:21,539 --> 00:45:25,336
However, I will accept your word that
you painted my servant in the studio.

945
00:45:25,986 --> 00:45:28,944
Well, I'll leave you to your...
[ A noise behind the screen ]

946
00:45:29,185 --> 00:45:30,015
- to your work.

947
00:45:31,048 --> 00:45:32,495
- Well, thank you for receiving me.

948
00:45:32,530 --> 00:45:34,439
- Yes, sir. - Goodnight, Scone.
- Goodnight.

949
00:45:49,166 --> 00:45:50,879
- Thank you, Mr. Scone.

950
00:46:01,876 --> 00:46:03,969
- And you'd have done that....

951
00:46:05,974 --> 00:46:06,937
- for Rose?

952
00:46:07,186 --> 00:46:07,871
- Huh?

953
00:46:09,318 --> 00:46:11,629
- Well, my divine Sarah...

954
00:46:12,813 --> 00:46:14,875
- we'll open another
bottle of champagne

955
00:46:15,294 --> 00:46:16,253
- to celebrate.

956
00:46:16,557 --> 00:46:17,632
- Celebrate what?

957
00:46:19,075 --> 00:46:20,512
- We'll think of something.

958
00:46:22,895 --> 00:46:25,589
- Oh, I wished you'd seen
our picture, Rose.

959
00:46:25,854 --> 00:46:26,940
- Just once.

960
00:46:28,509 --> 00:46:30,975
- We could still go, you know.
It's open to the public.

961
00:46:31,010 --> 00:46:32,974
- Why, you'd be recognized.

962
00:46:33,866 --> 00:46:36,011
- No, it's best to forget all about it.

963
00:46:37,046 --> 00:46:38,630
- I don't think I'll ever forget.

964
00:46:39,676 --> 00:46:41,209
- Was he that nice?

965
00:46:44,101 --> 00:46:45,386
- He's funny.

966
00:46:49,747 --> 00:46:50,712
- Rose!

967
00:46:51,501 --> 00:46:52,427
- Yes.

968
00:46:53,276 --> 00:46:55,540
- D'you think you could come along
when I meet him again?

969
00:46:56,221 --> 00:46:58,014
- Yes, if you want to.

970
00:46:58,049 --> 00:47:01,294
- You see, at the Bioscope,
there's words between the pictures.

971
00:47:01,329 --> 00:47:04,539
- and if you can't read them
you don't know what's going on.

972
00:47:04,574 --> 00:47:05,367
- Oh.

973
00:47:06,780 --> 00:47:09,539
- Aw, we'll go together someday, Rose.

974
00:47:10,096 --> 00:47:11,122
- I'll take you.

975
00:47:14,848 --> 00:47:16,763
- I'm sorry I got you
in all that trouble.

976
00:47:17,065 --> 00:47:19,210
- Oh, you made it come
all right in the end.

977
00:47:22,795 --> 00:47:24,265
- Aren't men funny.
