1
00:00:40,430 --> 00:00:43,710
God bless all here, even the barkeep.
Top of the morning.

2
00:00:43,950 --> 00:00:44,950
Top of me head.

3
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:47,950
With a sense there's a blacksmith at
work.

4
00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:52,370
Small wonder. You had that devil's own
robe when you left the two this morning.

5
00:00:52,570 --> 00:00:54,810
Yeah, I must have. I don't remember
leaving.

6
00:00:56,410 --> 00:00:57,590
You're taking it easy.

7
00:00:57,870 --> 00:01:01,790
Well, let's now trade this time of the
day. It was a great temptation when I

8
00:01:01,790 --> 00:01:04,310
saw no one in the bar to make off with a
bottle.

9
00:01:05,630 --> 00:01:06,990
Here are the dogs, what I'm needing.

10
00:01:08,059 --> 00:01:10,060
That devil appending the pantaloons.

11
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,580
I want to know how. Thank you, kind man.

12
00:01:18,580 --> 00:01:22,880
Sure, the good Samaritan was a cruel
haven beside you. It's the same he was

13
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:23,880
drinking last night.

14
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:29,220
His private duke. He keeps it in there
for a margin fee. Leave it to Khan,

15
00:01:29,380 --> 00:01:30,480
never to be caught dry.

16
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:33,180
Your health and inclinations.

17
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,240
If they're virtue.

18
00:01:40,910 --> 00:01:45,130
Khan's not down yet for his morning's
morning. No, he won't be till later.

19
00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:47,250
It's a miracle, me meeting him again.

20
00:01:47,930 --> 00:01:51,990
I come to these parts looking for work.
Only by accident I heard tell of a Khan,

21
00:01:52,110 --> 00:01:53,770
Melody. I come see what's at him.

22
00:01:54,030 --> 00:01:58,310
Until that night, I not seen hiding or
hear of him since the war with the

23
00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:59,590
French in Spain in 12.

24
00:02:00,310 --> 00:02:03,830
I was corporal in the 7th Dragoons. He
was major.

25
00:02:04,150 --> 00:02:06,710
I got this cut at Talavera.

26
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,500
Bad luck to it. Serving under him. He
was captain then. So you told me last

27
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:12,500
night.

28
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:14,020
Did I now?

29
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,980
Oh, yeah. I must have said more than me
prayers for the lashings of whiskey.

30
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,420
More than your prayers, it's the truth.

31
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,540
Take another taste.

32
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,080
Oh, I don't like sponging.

33
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,480
Sure, my credit ought to be good in
this, Shabine.

34
00:02:30,780 --> 00:02:33,440
Ain't I his cousin? Ah, you're
forgetting what himself told you last

35
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:34,720
night as he went upstairs to beg.

36
00:02:35,180 --> 00:02:37,700
He said you could have all the whiskey
you could pour down you, but not a

37
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:41,700
penny's worth of credit. This house, he
asks you to remember, only gives credit

38
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:42,679
to gentlemen.

39
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,060
Gentlemen. You get thinking about his
insults after he's gone out, getting

40
00:02:46,060 --> 00:02:47,220
madder and madder.

41
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,320
God, but that's like him. He hasn't
changed much.

42
00:02:54,100 --> 00:03:00,200
If I was mad at Con and me blind drunk,
I must have told you a power of lies.

43
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,680
Maybe they wasn't lies.

44
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,040
Tell me what I said. I'll tell you if it
was, Lord. You said... You said his

45
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:11,520
father wasn't of the quality of Galway,
like he makes out, but only a thieving

46
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,180
shebeen keeper who got rich by
moneylending and squeezing tenants in

47
00:03:15,180 --> 00:03:16,180
every manner of trick.

48
00:03:16,460 --> 00:03:20,080
And when he's enough, he married and
bought on his stage with a pack of

49
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,040
hounds and set up as one of the gentry.

50
00:03:22,540 --> 00:03:25,980
He'd hardly got settled when his wife
died, give him birth to come. There's no

51
00:03:25,980 --> 00:03:26,859
lie there.

52
00:03:26,860 --> 00:03:30,000
You said none of the gentry would speak
to old Melody.

53
00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:34,600
Yes, but he had a tough hide and he
didn't heed them. He made up his mind.

54
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,940
He'd bring Con up to be a true
gentleman's son.

55
00:03:37,180 --> 00:03:41,140
And so he packed him off to Dublin to
school. And then to the college with

56
00:03:41,140 --> 00:03:45,320
slews of money to prove himself the
equal of any gentleman's son. But Con

57
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,720
soon found that there was plenty to
drink on him and borrow money.

58
00:03:48,980 --> 00:03:52,140
There was few didn't sneer behind his
back at his pretensions.

59
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,800
And that's the truth too. But Con soon
wiped the sneers off their mouths when

60
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,720
he called one of them out and put a
bullet in his hip.

61
00:04:00,750 --> 00:04:01,990
That was his first duel.

62
00:04:02,290 --> 00:04:06,590
And it gave his pride a taste for
revenge, so that after that, he was

63
00:04:06,590 --> 00:04:09,550
always looking for an excuse to
challenge someone. He's done a power of

64
00:04:09,550 --> 00:04:13,610
both and about it. I thought he was
lying. There's no lying in it.

65
00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:17,750
It was that brought disgrace on him in
the end, right after he'd been promoted

66
00:04:17,750 --> 00:04:18,750
to major.

67
00:04:18,850 --> 00:04:24,810
He was caught by a Spanish noble making
love to his wife, and there was a duel

68
00:04:24,810 --> 00:04:25,810
that killed him.

69
00:04:26,970 --> 00:04:29,050
The scandal was hushed up, but...

70
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,940
Conan had to resign from the army.

71
00:04:31,260 --> 00:04:34,900
If it wasn't for his fine record for
bravery in battle, they'd have court

72
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:35,779
-martialed him.

73
00:04:35,780 --> 00:04:39,660
Well, then, I'm saying more and more of
my prayers again. There's no news about

74
00:04:39,660 --> 00:04:40,539
his women.

75
00:04:40,540 --> 00:04:43,900
You'd think to hear him when he's drunk,
there wasn't one who could resist him in

76
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:44,900
Portugal and Spain.

77
00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:47,940
Oh, if you'd seen him then, you wouldn't
wonder.

78
00:04:48,460 --> 00:04:50,000
He was strong as an ox.

79
00:04:50,420 --> 00:04:55,140
On a thoroughbred horse in his fine
uniform, there wasn't a handsomer man in

80
00:04:55,140 --> 00:04:56,140
the army.

81
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,540
And he had the chance he wanted in
Portugal and Spain, where a British

82
00:05:02,540 --> 00:05:06,880
officer was welcome in the gentry's
houses. At home, the only women he'd

83
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:07,880
ever known was whores.

84
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,660
Except Nora, of course. Speaking of
Nora, death night, when he's madder

85
00:05:13,660 --> 00:05:17,020
drunk than most, when he throws it in
her face, he had to marry her because...

86
00:05:17,020 --> 00:05:21,800
Oh, now, mind you, I'm not saying
anything against poor Nora. No, a

87
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,760
sweeter woman never lived. But he tells
her that it was the priests.

88
00:05:26,300 --> 00:05:28,200
tricked him into marrying her. He hates
priests.

89
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,800
He's a liar, Dan.

90
00:05:30,820 --> 00:05:34,780
He may like to blame it on them, but his
little con Melody cared what they said.

91
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,260
He married Nora because he was in love
with her.

92
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,660
He was ashamed of her at the same time
in his pride because her folks was only

93
00:05:41,660 --> 00:05:43,020
ignorant peasants on his estate.

94
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,240
It's poor, it's poor.

95
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,480
Oh, Nora, no. She was pretty a girl he
should meet in a year's travel.

96
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:52,920
And he'd grown bitter lonely with no
woman's company but the whores was

97
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,400
helping him ruin his estate.

98
00:05:55,750 --> 00:05:56,750
Well, anyways.

99
00:05:57,610 --> 00:05:58,610
He married her.

100
00:05:58,790 --> 00:06:00,550
And then he went off to the war.

101
00:06:00,770 --> 00:06:03,070
He left her alone in the castle to have
her child.

102
00:06:03,390 --> 00:06:06,030
He never laid eyes on him again until he
was sent home from Spain.

103
00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:09,930
And then he raised what little money he
was able and brought her and Sarah here

104
00:06:09,930 --> 00:06:11,550
to America, where no one would know him.

105
00:06:11,990 --> 00:06:13,590
Well, thank you for telling me.

106
00:06:13,950 --> 00:06:16,770
And I take my oath. I never breathe a
word of it.

107
00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:18,730
For Nora's sake, not his.

108
00:06:18,950 --> 00:06:21,290
You better keep quiet for fear of him,
too.

109
00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:23,030
He's half the man he was.

110
00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:25,190
He could beat the lights out of both of
us.

111
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:26,830
Drink, Artie. Long life.

112
00:06:29,950 --> 00:06:31,270
Oh, that's Sarah, isn't it?

113
00:06:31,490 --> 00:06:32,710
I'd better be going.

114
00:06:34,210 --> 00:06:37,070
She'd likely blame me for getting
Constable drunk last night.

115
00:06:38,250 --> 00:06:39,830
I'll come back when Con is down.

116
00:06:48,570 --> 00:06:50,730
I'd be damned if I'd run from her.

117
00:06:54,380 --> 00:06:57,740
I'm sorry to interrupt you when you're
so busy, but have you your bar book

118
00:06:57,740 --> 00:06:59,740
ready for me to look over? I have.

119
00:07:00,860 --> 00:07:02,640
I left it on your desk.

120
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:04,600
Thank you.

121
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,580
If it's profit you're looking for, you
won't find them.

122
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,080
Not with all the drinks himself's been
treating to.

123
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,440
Well, you've your airs of a grand lady
this morning, I see.

124
00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:24,220
There's no talking to you ever since you
betrayed your nursemaid, the young

125
00:07:24,220 --> 00:07:25,220
Yankee, upstairs.

126
00:07:26,020 --> 00:07:29,880
Well, you've had your cap set for him
ever since he come to live, by the way.

127
00:07:30,340 --> 00:07:34,160
And how's your chance when he's here
sick and too weak to defend himself?

128
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,020
I warn you, Mickey, to mind your own
business or I'll tell my father of your

129
00:07:38,020 --> 00:07:42,700
impudence. He'll teach you to keep your
place and God help you. Mara, don't try

130
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:45,460
to scare me. I know you've never carried
heads to him.

131
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:48,820
Well, can you take a bit of teasing,
Sarah?

132
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,640
Leave Simon out of your teasing. Oh,
he's Simon to you now, is he? Well,

133
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:54,640
well.

134
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:00,420
Maybe if you'd come down from your high
horse, I could tell you some news.

135
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,780
You're working an old woman for gossip.

136
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,040
I don't want to hear it. Well, you was
upstairs at the back taking him his

137
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,680
breakfast. There was a grand carriage
with a coachman stopped at the corner.

138
00:08:10,820 --> 00:08:12,780
And the Yankee lady got out and come in
here.

139
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,560
I was there sweeping. Nora was scrubbing
in the kitchen.

140
00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:19,590
She asked me... What road would take her
to the lake?

141
00:08:20,510 --> 00:08:23,630
Hmm? So I told her, but she didn't go.

142
00:08:24,310 --> 00:08:28,550
She kept looking around, said she'd like
a cup of tea. And where was the

143
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:33,070
waitress? I knew she must be connected
somehow with Harford, for why would she

144
00:08:33,070 --> 00:08:34,929
want to go near the lake where nobody's
ever lived but him?

145
00:08:35,169 --> 00:08:37,110
So she asked for the waitress, did she?

146
00:08:37,909 --> 00:08:40,669
Well, I hope you told her I'm the
owner's daughter too.

147
00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:41,469
I did.

148
00:08:41,470 --> 00:08:45,810
I don't like Yankee Heirs any more than
you do. I was short with her. I said you

149
00:08:45,810 --> 00:08:46,810
was out for a walk.

150
00:08:46,990 --> 00:08:50,990
And the tavern wasn't open yet anyway,
so she went off and drove away.

151
00:08:51,610 --> 00:08:53,030
What did she look like, Mickey?

152
00:08:53,610 --> 00:08:54,610
Pretty.

153
00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:59,150
If you like that sort, a pale, delicate
wisp of a thing with big eyes.

154
00:08:59,510 --> 00:09:01,170
That fits what he said of his mother.

155
00:09:02,550 --> 00:09:05,890
Maybe he ought to have told her he's
here sick to save her the drive and the

156
00:09:05,890 --> 00:09:09,110
hot sun and the walk in the woods for
nothing. Why would I tell her when she

157
00:09:09,110 --> 00:09:10,110
never mentioned him?

158
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:11,790
Yeah, it's her own fault.

159
00:09:12,690 --> 00:09:13,690
But...

160
00:09:14,890 --> 00:09:18,210
Well, there's no use bothering my head
about her anyway, whoever she was.

161
00:09:19,650 --> 00:09:23,570
Ah, God bless you, Nora. You're the one
I've been waiting to see. Would you keep

162
00:09:23,570 --> 00:09:26,750
an eye on the bar for me while I go to
the store for a bit of backing? Don't do

163
00:09:26,750 --> 00:09:27,469
it, Mother.

164
00:09:27,470 --> 00:09:28,470
Why wouldn't I?

165
00:09:28,530 --> 00:09:29,530
Thank you, Nora.

166
00:09:30,610 --> 00:09:33,390
And the back of me hand to you, young
ladyship.

167
00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:40,370
I shouldn't encourage his laziness. Oh,
never mind, Tammy, the good lad.

168
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,580
That says to the rheumatism.

169
00:09:45,260 --> 00:09:47,200
Has me destroyed, I'm sorry.

170
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,280
Told you a hundred times to see the
doctor.

171
00:09:50,580 --> 00:09:52,280
We've no money for doctors.

172
00:09:53,900 --> 00:09:55,360
What bad luck, anyway.

173
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,660
I bring death with them.

174
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,900
Your father will be down soon.

175
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,000
I got some fine fresh eggs for his
breakfast.

176
00:10:06,340 --> 00:10:07,620
He won't want them.

177
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,640
You mean he'd have dropped too much
taking last night?

178
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,100
Last night? What night hasn't he?

179
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,440
Ah, don't beat so hard on him.

180
00:10:16,860 --> 00:10:23,460
Uh, Neelan sent round a note to me about
his bill.

181
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,580
He says we're going to have to sit with
him by the end of the week or we'll get

182
00:10:27,580 --> 00:10:28,580
no more groceries.

183
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,580
I can't blame him.

184
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,580
But how we'll manage, I don't know.

185
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:38,080
There's the interest and the mortgage do
the first. But that I've saved, God be

186
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,900
thanked. If only you'd let me take
charge of the money.

187
00:10:41,340 --> 00:10:46,280
I won't. You and himself would beat each
other's trots from dawn till dark. It's

188
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,480
bad enough between yous, it is. Well,
why didn't you pay the bill last week?

189
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,100
You told me you had the money put aside.

190
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:58,800
Well, so I did, but... Dickinson was
tormenting your father

191
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,600
with his fee bill for the mayor.

192
00:11:02,350 --> 00:11:06,050
I might have known. The mayor comes
first if she takes the bread out of our

193
00:11:06,050 --> 00:11:10,190
mouths. Don't you be talking like that.
He has great love for you, even though

194
00:11:10,190 --> 00:11:13,150
you don't be provoking him all the time.
Great love for me?

195
00:11:13,470 --> 00:11:15,390
I'd have God pity you, Mother.

196
00:11:15,670 --> 00:11:18,590
And don't you be putting on the brogue
now.

197
00:11:19,310 --> 00:11:21,210
You know how he hates to hear you.

198
00:11:21,510 --> 00:11:25,670
And so do I. There's no excuse for you
not to cure yourself.

199
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,380
But didn't he send you to school so you
could talk like a gentleman's daughter?

200
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:31,500
He did, and I wasn't there long.

201
00:11:31,820 --> 00:11:33,160
It was you who insisted on leaving.

202
00:11:33,460 --> 00:11:37,620
Because if he hadn't the pride and love
for you not to live on, you're slaving

203
00:11:37,620 --> 00:11:40,080
your heart out. I had that pride and
love.

204
00:11:40,660 --> 00:11:42,780
I know, Cush. I know.

205
00:11:44,380 --> 00:11:48,820
We can't afford a waitress, but he can
afford to keep a thoroughbred mare to

206
00:11:48,820 --> 00:11:52,700
prance around on and show himself off.
And he can afford a barkeep.

207
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,860
And if he had any decency, he'd do his
part and tend the bar himself.

208
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,220
Him? A gentleman?

209
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,440
Tend bar?

210
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:01,800
Gentleman?

211
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,680
Mother, it's all right for the two of
us, out of our own pride, to pretend to

212
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,780
the world that we believe that lie, but
it's crazy for you to pretend to me.

213
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:13,100
It's no lie.

214
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,640
He is the gentleman.

215
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,420
Mother, you can humor his craziness if
you want.

216
00:12:18,740 --> 00:12:22,120
You'll never get me to pretend to him
that I don't know the truth.

217
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,880
Don't! Talk as if you hated him. You
ought to be ashamed.

218
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,580
I do hate him for the way he treats you.

219
00:12:28,980 --> 00:12:33,900
I heard him again last night raking up
the past, blaming his ruin on his having

220
00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:36,120
to marry you. That's right talking, not
him.

221
00:12:37,060 --> 00:12:39,660
It's you ought to be ashamed for not
having more pride.

222
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,380
You keep slaving when it's that that's
made you old before your time.

223
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,720
Well, you can't do it much longer, I
tell you. He's getting worse. You'll

224
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:49,720
have to leave him.

225
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,680
I will not hold your pride.

226
00:12:52,170 --> 00:12:53,890
You'd leave him today if you had any
pride.

227
00:12:54,750 --> 00:12:57,270
I've pride in me love for him.

228
00:12:59,090 --> 00:13:03,570
I've loved him since the first day I set
eyes on him, and I'll love him till the

229
00:13:03,570 --> 00:13:04,570
day I die.

230
00:13:06,190 --> 00:13:11,070
Little you know of love, and you never
will, for there's the same devil of

231
00:13:11,070 --> 00:13:14,830
pride in you that's in him, and it'll
keep you from giving all of yourself,

232
00:13:14,930 --> 00:13:19,990
and that's what love is. I could give
all of myself if I wanted to, but I...

233
00:13:19,990 --> 00:13:21,190
If wanted to.

234
00:13:22,020 --> 00:13:25,620
Fakes, that proves how little of love
you know when you prate about ifs and

235
00:13:25,620 --> 00:13:26,620
wantos.

236
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,900
It's when you haven't a thought for all
the ifs and wantos in the world.

237
00:13:32,980 --> 00:13:36,560
It's when if all the fires of hell was
burning between you, you'd go through

238
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:38,600
them gladly to be by his side.

239
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:45,180
And you'd sing with joy at your own
burning if only his kiss was on your

240
00:13:45,180 --> 00:13:46,180
mouth.

241
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,440
That's love.

242
00:13:50,380 --> 00:13:53,300
And I'm proud to have felt the great
sorrow and joy of it.

243
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,960
You're a strange woman, Mother.

244
00:13:58,580 --> 00:13:59,900
And a grand one.

245
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:02,600
I love.

246
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,760
But I love where it'll gain me freedom
and not put me in slavery for life.

247
00:14:07,780 --> 00:14:09,800
There's no slavery in it when you love.

248
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,700
Oh, for the love of God, Sarah, don't
take the pride of me love from me.

249
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:22,820
For without it, what am I at all but an
ugly woman, grown old and sick? Oh,

250
00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:23,820
hush, Mother.

251
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:26,820
Don't mind me.

252
00:14:30,500 --> 00:14:32,720
I have to go finish the bar book.

253
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,300
Mickey can't add two and two together
without making five.

254
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:48,840
I'm very devout, your father.

255
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,960
Father Flynn stopped me on the road
yesterday.

256
00:14:55,340 --> 00:15:00,300
Told me I'd better warn him not to sneer
at the Irish around here and call them

257
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:02,540
scum or he's going to get himself into
trouble.

258
00:15:03,620 --> 00:15:08,720
Most of them were in a rage at him
because he's come out against Andrew

259
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,200
Jackson and the Democrats and says he's
going to vote with the Yankees for

260
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,200
Quincy Adams.

261
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,940
At least they can't say a joke then.

262
00:15:15,450 --> 00:15:19,750
It's a great joke to hear him shout
against mob rule like one of the Yankee

263
00:15:19,750 --> 00:15:21,930
gentry. You know what he came from.

264
00:15:23,330 --> 00:15:28,970
After the Yanks swindled him into
getting him to buy this place, telling

265
00:15:28,970 --> 00:15:31,350
him a new coach line was going to stop
here.

266
00:15:33,330 --> 00:15:35,430
Easiest fool ever came to America.

267
00:15:36,850 --> 00:15:39,030
That I hold against him as much as
anything.

268
00:15:39,670 --> 00:15:43,510
When he came here, the chance was before
him to make himself all his life

269
00:15:43,510 --> 00:15:44,510
pretended to be.

270
00:15:45,180 --> 00:15:48,480
He had education above most yanks and
money enough to start him.

271
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,380
This is a country where you can rise as
high as you like.

272
00:15:53,020 --> 00:15:56,200
No one but the fools who envy you care
what you came from.

273
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,360
A bunch of the money and the power goes
with it.

274
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:06,180
Oh, if I was a man with the chance he
had, there wouldn't be a dream I'd not

275
00:16:06,180 --> 00:16:07,180
make come true.

276
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,020
You're a fine one to talk to, Mother.

277
00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:15,060
Wake up.

278
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,620
What's worrying you now?

279
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:25,640
Oh, Father Flynn told me again I was
going to be damned in hell for letting

280
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,620
your father make a heathen of me and
bring you up a heathen too.

281
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,960
Not to tell the good father we aren't
the ignorant shanty scum he's used to

282
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:33,960
dealing with.

283
00:16:34,940 --> 00:16:35,940
There.

284
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,720
That's done.

285
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,080
Take a walk to the store and have a talk
with Neil and maybe I can blarney him

286
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,740
into giving us another month's credit.

287
00:16:47,940 --> 00:16:48,940
Oh, you can.

288
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,760
Sure, you could charm a bird out of a
tree if you wanted to.

289
00:16:53,540 --> 00:16:57,740
But I don't like you begging to a
Yankee. It's all right for me, but I

290
00:16:57,740 --> 00:16:59,920
know how you hate it. Oh, I don't mind.

291
00:17:00,220 --> 00:17:03,100
As long as it saves you a little of the
worry that's killing you.

292
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:08,520
I'll go change into my Sunday best to
make a good impression.

293
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,480
I'm thinking it's not on kneeling alone
you want to make an impression.

294
00:17:14,060 --> 00:17:16,680
You changed your Sunday best of luck
lately.

295
00:17:17,780 --> 00:17:19,359
Aren't you the sly one?

296
00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:23,640
Well, maybe you're right. How was he
when you took him to breakfast?

297
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:27,339
Hungry. And that's a good sign.

298
00:17:27,819 --> 00:17:29,640
He had no fever last night, all.

299
00:17:30,180 --> 00:17:31,680
He's on the road to recovery.

300
00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:35,520
It won't be long before he's back in his
cabin by the lake.

301
00:17:36,190 --> 00:17:38,950
Look, I declare in my head what he's
been doing out there the past year,

302
00:17:39,050 --> 00:17:43,590
living like a tramp or a tinker, and him
a rich gentleman's son. Oh, he's not

303
00:17:43,590 --> 00:17:44,590
like his kind.

304
00:17:44,970 --> 00:17:50,230
Or like anyone else, for that matter.
He's a born dreamer with a great raft of

305
00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:51,230
dreams.

306
00:17:52,290 --> 00:17:58,870
I told you before, he wanted to get away
from his father's business because he

307
00:17:58,870 --> 00:18:00,170
didn't like being in trade.

308
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,040
Even if it is a great company that
trades with the whole world in its own

309
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,040
ship. That's the way a true gentleman
would feel. He wanted to prove his

310
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:14,680
independence by living alone in the wild
and build his own cabin and support

311
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,020
himself simply and live at one with
nature and think great thoughts about

312
00:18:19,020 --> 00:18:20,020
what life means.

313
00:18:20,460 --> 00:18:27,360
Write a book about how the world can be
changed so people will be able

314
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:29,720
to not be greedy and...

315
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,420
and live in peace together and freedom
and not want money.

316
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,860
I can't remember at all.

317
00:18:39,060 --> 00:18:41,940
Seems crazy to me when I think what
people are like.

318
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:46,780
He hasn't written any of it anyway, only
the notes for it.

319
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,320
All he's written the last few months are
love poems.

320
00:18:51,540 --> 00:18:57,680
Well, it's clear to me young Master
Harford has the touch of the poet in

321
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:58,880
him, same as your father.

322
00:18:59,550 --> 00:19:04,190
Oh, Mother, God help you. Do you think
Father's a poet because he shows off

323
00:19:04,190 --> 00:19:05,810
reciting Lord Byron?

324
00:19:06,110 --> 00:19:07,110
No.

325
00:19:07,490 --> 00:19:09,550
I'm safe to be down any moment.

326
00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:13,350
But I can tell young Harford he's
falling in love with you.

327
00:19:14,250 --> 00:19:17,950
Falling? He's falling head over heels.

328
00:19:19,350 --> 00:19:23,390
But he's so timid he hasn't told me yet.
But I'll get him to soon.

329
00:19:23,850 --> 00:19:25,870
And I know you're in love with him.

330
00:19:26,170 --> 00:19:27,170
I am, Mother.

331
00:19:29,260 --> 00:19:30,260
Not too much, though.

332
00:19:31,060 --> 00:19:34,100
I won't let love make me any man's
slave.

333
00:19:35,180 --> 00:19:38,940
I want to love him just enough to marry
him without cheating him, or myself.

334
00:19:39,860 --> 00:19:41,600
For I'm going to marry him, Mother.

335
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,780
It's my chance to rise in the world, and
nothing will keep me from it. Moshe, but

336
00:19:46,780 --> 00:19:48,040
you boastful talk.

337
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,260
What about his fine Yankee family? His
father likely cut him off without a

338
00:19:53,260 --> 00:19:57,080
penny if he marries a girl who's poor
and Irish. He may at first, but...

339
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,100
Once I've proven what a good wife I'll
be.

340
00:20:00,060 --> 00:20:03,340
Oh, he can't stop me from marrying
Simon, I know that.

341
00:20:04,340 --> 00:20:06,800
It's only his mother I'm afraid of.

342
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:09,820
She's had great influence over him, I
can tell.

343
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,100
She must be a strange creature from all
he's told me. She never goes out at all,

344
00:20:15,220 --> 00:20:19,020
but stays in her mansion reading books
all day, or in her garden.

345
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:24,040
Did you see a carriage stop here,
Mother, this morning? Oh, don't count

346
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,740
your chickens before they've hatched.

347
00:20:26,509 --> 00:20:30,670
Young Harford seems a decent lad, but
maybe it's not marriage that he's up to.

348
00:20:30,850 --> 00:20:32,990
Oh, well, I suppose you're bound to
suspect.

349
00:20:34,850 --> 00:20:38,370
Forgive me, Mother, but it's wrong of
you to think badly of Simon.

350
00:20:39,370 --> 00:20:43,030
Faith, if it came to seducing, it would
be me that would have to do it. Yeah.

351
00:20:43,970 --> 00:20:46,790
It's only in his poems and in the diary
he keeps.

352
00:20:47,390 --> 00:20:51,070
I had a peek at it one day when I was
over tidying up his cabin for him.

353
00:20:51,790 --> 00:20:54,170
He's very ashamed of his sinful
inclination.

354
00:20:54,990 --> 00:20:58,790
And of the insult they are to my purity.
Don't talk so bold.

355
00:21:00,210 --> 00:21:04,550
I'm not sure it's good you to be in his
room so much. Even if he is sick.

356
00:21:05,170 --> 00:21:07,550
There's a power of talk about the two of
you already.

357
00:21:07,770 --> 00:21:09,550
Oh, let there be for all I care.

358
00:21:10,070 --> 00:21:14,110
Or for all Simon cares either. When it
comes to not letting others rule him,

359
00:21:14,150 --> 00:21:16,210
he's got a will of his own behind his
gentleness.

360
00:21:17,050 --> 00:21:18,870
Just as behind his poetry and dreams.

361
00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:22,070
I feel he has it in him to do anything
he wants.

362
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,400
So, even if his father cuts him off,
with me to help him, we'll get on in the

363
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,020
world, for I'm no fool either.

364
00:21:29,340 --> 00:21:33,120
Glory be to God, you have a fine opinion
of yourself.

365
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,640
Haven't I, though?

366
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,380
Well, I'd need to have slaving as a
chambermaid and waitress so my father

367
00:21:42,380 --> 00:21:44,940
can get drunk every night in the bar
like a gentleman.

368
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:49,840
Morning, Sarah.

369
00:21:50,900 --> 00:21:51,900
Morning.

370
00:21:53,070 --> 00:21:54,630
I'm going to get my dress on, Mother.

371
00:21:57,990 --> 00:21:58,990
Good morning, Nora.

372
00:21:59,150 --> 00:22:00,149
Good morning, Con.

373
00:22:00,150 --> 00:22:01,470
I'll get you breakfast.

374
00:22:01,810 --> 00:22:02,810
No.

375
00:22:03,430 --> 00:22:04,430
I want nothing.

376
00:22:04,670 --> 00:22:05,670
Thank you.

377
00:22:05,990 --> 00:22:07,110
You look pale.

378
00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:08,430
Come on,

379
00:22:09,270 --> 00:22:10,270
sit down.

380
00:22:10,610 --> 00:22:14,830
I'll wet a cloth with cold water. Put it
round your head. No, thank you. I want

381
00:22:14,830 --> 00:22:19,770
nothing except a little piece in which
to read the news.

382
00:22:21,450 --> 00:22:22,710
I'll leave him, Kate.

383
00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:45,550
Oh, Kate, stop your tearing!

384
00:22:46,429 --> 00:22:50,750
I was thinking maybe about who would
make you pick them. I told you once, I'm

385
00:22:50,750 --> 00:22:51,750
not hungry.

386
00:22:52,450 --> 00:22:53,450
Laura.

387
00:22:54,230 --> 00:22:57,050
Well, maybe it's the hair of the dog
you're needing.

388
00:22:57,370 --> 00:22:58,630
No, damn the liquor.

389
00:22:59,410 --> 00:23:02,210
In my conscience, I've about made up my
mind I'll have no more of it.

390
00:23:03,130 --> 00:23:07,110
Besides, it's a bit early in the day.
Well, it will give you an appetite.

391
00:23:08,850 --> 00:23:14,750
To tell the truth, my stomach is out of
sorts. Perhaps the drop will become a

392
00:23:14,750 --> 00:23:15,750
missile.

393
00:23:25,070 --> 00:23:27,310
Oh, well, I know what you're thinking.
Why haven't you the courage to say it

394
00:23:27,310 --> 00:23:28,289
for once?

395
00:23:28,290 --> 00:23:30,530
For God, I'd have more respect for you.

396
00:23:30,890 --> 00:23:33,070
I hate the damn meek of this earth.

397
00:23:34,690 --> 00:23:37,910
At the Rock of Cashel, I sometimes
believe you've always deliberately

398
00:23:37,910 --> 00:23:42,050
encouraged me to. It's the one point of
superiority you can lay claim to, isn't

399
00:23:42,050 --> 00:23:42,969
it?

400
00:23:42,970 --> 00:23:48,050
I don't. It's your comfort. I can't bear
it. Oh, forgive me, Nora. That was

401
00:23:48,050 --> 00:23:49,050
unpardonable.

402
00:24:00,970 --> 00:24:02,310
I confess I needed that as medicine.

403
00:24:03,430 --> 00:24:04,730
I begin to feel more myself.

404
00:24:11,810 --> 00:24:12,970
I'm by the immortal.

405
00:24:13,970 --> 00:24:17,110
I may have sunk to keeping a tavern, but
at least I have a conscience in my

406
00:24:17,110 --> 00:24:18,950
trade. I keep liquor a gentleman can
drink.

407
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:28,290
There shall he rot, ambition's
dishonored fool.

408
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,180
That was full of the latest swindling
lies of that idol of the riffraff,

409
00:24:34,260 --> 00:24:35,260
Andrew Jackson.

410
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,980
Contemptible, drunken scoundrel.

411
00:24:39,580 --> 00:24:43,140
But he'll be the next president, I
predict, for all we others can do to

412
00:24:43,140 --> 00:24:44,140
prevent.

413
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:49,260
It's a cursed destiny in these decadent
times. Everywhere the cum rises to the

414
00:24:49,260 --> 00:24:50,260
top.

415
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,840
The day of the 27th.

416
00:24:54,500 --> 00:24:57,080
My God, I would have forgotten.

417
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:58,480
Forgot what?

418
00:24:58,780 --> 00:25:00,380
The anniversary of Talavera.

419
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,960
Oh, ain't I stupid not to remember?

420
00:25:04,300 --> 00:25:05,560
Oh, I would have forgotten myself.

421
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,300
And no wonder.

422
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:14,140
It's a far cry from this dunghill in
which I rot to that glorious day when

423
00:25:14,140 --> 00:25:18,420
the Duke of Wellington, then Lord
Wellesley, did me the honor before all

424
00:25:18,420 --> 00:25:20,740
the army to commend my bravery.

425
00:25:23,310 --> 00:25:24,310
I'll cry indeed.

426
00:25:24,370 --> 00:25:25,470
It would be better to forget.

427
00:25:25,750 --> 00:25:29,210
No, no, you mustn't. You'll never miss
celebrating it, and you won't today.

428
00:25:29,550 --> 00:25:32,910
I'll have a special dinner for you like
I've always had. Good, Nora.

429
00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:35,590
I'll invite Jamie Cregan.

430
00:25:36,130 --> 00:25:40,210
It's a stroke of fortune he's here. He
served under me at Talavera, as you

431
00:25:40,210 --> 00:25:42,870
know. A brave soldier, if he isn't a
gentleman.

432
00:25:43,290 --> 00:25:48,130
If I see him on my right hand, I will
have Pats Riley for music and Poudown

433
00:25:48,130 --> 00:25:51,750
and Roche if they're rabble there, full
of droll humor at times.

434
00:25:52,460 --> 00:25:53,460
But put them over there.

435
00:25:54,780 --> 00:25:58,580
I tolerate their presence out of
charity, but I won't stoop to dining at

436
00:25:58,580 --> 00:26:01,780
the same table with them. Get your
uniform out of the trunk and you'll wear

437
00:26:01,780 --> 00:26:03,500
it tonight as you have each year. Yes.

438
00:26:04,860 --> 00:26:07,420
I must confess I still welcome an excuse
to wear it.

439
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,460
Makes me feel at least the ghost of the
man I was then.

440
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,760
Sure, you were that handsome. No woman
could take her eyes off you and your

441
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,040
stare. I'm afraid you got blarney on
your tongue this morning, Nora.

442
00:26:19,850 --> 00:26:23,250
But it's true in those days in Portugal
and Spain.

443
00:26:25,470 --> 00:26:26,470
Ah.

444
00:26:28,890 --> 00:26:30,810
You're the kindest heart in the world,
Nora.

445
00:26:31,170 --> 00:26:37,170
And I... Oh, one can't, darling. When...
I'll go to the store. I'll get you

446
00:26:37,170 --> 00:26:38,170
something tasty.

447
00:26:38,670 --> 00:26:40,530
Oh, God, help me. Where's the money?

448
00:26:41,010 --> 00:26:42,010
Money?

449
00:26:42,350 --> 00:26:45,450
Since when has my credit not been good?
Don't you fret. I'll manage.

450
00:26:55,350 --> 00:26:57,890
Work on the railroad is progressing at
Baltimore.

451
00:26:59,030 --> 00:27:03,190
By the eternal, if I had not been a
credulous gull and let the thieving

452
00:27:03,190 --> 00:27:06,890
Yankees swindle me of all I had when we
came here, that's how I would invest my

453
00:27:06,890 --> 00:27:08,430
funds and we'd become rich.

454
00:27:09,310 --> 00:27:13,550
This country with its immense territory
cannot depend solely on creeping canal

455
00:27:13,550 --> 00:27:15,010
boats. We need railroads.

456
00:27:15,290 --> 00:27:18,230
Then you'll see how quickly this country
will become rich and great.

457
00:27:19,110 --> 00:27:22,650
Great enough to crush the English and
the next war between them, which I know

458
00:27:22,650 --> 00:27:23,650
is inevitable.

459
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,060
I could live here and celebrate that
victory.

460
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:32,100
If I have one regret for the past, it is
that I shed my blood for a country that

461
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:33,760
thanked me with disgrace.

462
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:40,840
But I'll be avenged. This country, my
country now, will sweep the English from

463
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,400
the face of the earth. Glory be to God
for that, and we'll free Ireland.

464
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:46,680
Ireland.

465
00:27:47,420 --> 00:27:51,820
What benefit would freedom be to her
that she could be freed from the Irish?

466
00:27:52,910 --> 00:27:55,170
Oh, why do I bother to discuss such
things with you?

467
00:27:56,010 --> 00:27:57,010
I know.

468
00:27:57,830 --> 00:27:58,830
I'm ignorant.

469
00:27:59,230 --> 00:28:02,430
And I tried my best to educate you after
we came to America.

470
00:28:03,330 --> 00:28:04,570
But I thought it was hopeless.

471
00:28:04,950 --> 00:28:08,950
Oh, you did surely, and I tried to. You
won't even cure yourself of that damn

472
00:28:08,950 --> 00:28:12,830
peasant's brogue. And your daughter's
becoming as bad. Oh, if she only puts on

473
00:28:12,830 --> 00:28:16,830
the brogue to please you, sure she can
talk as fine as any lady in the land

474
00:28:16,830 --> 00:28:21,110
when she wants. Why, in God's name, do I
reproach anyone with anything?

475
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,880
Why don't you tell me to examine my own
conduct?

476
00:28:25,580 --> 00:28:30,420
You know I never... No.

477
00:28:31,540 --> 00:28:33,140
No, you would not, Nora.

478
00:28:34,820 --> 00:28:38,320
I owe you an apology for what happened
last night. Oh, think about it. But you

479
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,360
understand it was the liquor talking if
I said anything to wound you. I know.

480
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,220
Ah, you're a sweet, kind woman, Nora.

481
00:28:46,020 --> 00:28:47,020
Too kind.

482
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:48,960
Oh, come, darling.

483
00:28:49,950 --> 00:28:53,590
What do I care what you say when the
black thoughts are on you?

484
00:28:54,730 --> 00:28:56,990
Sure, don't you know I love you?

485
00:28:57,650 --> 00:29:00,310
For God's sake, why don't you ever wash
your hair?

486
00:29:00,770 --> 00:29:04,050
It turns my stomach with its stink of
onions and garlic.

487
00:29:04,290 --> 00:29:06,290
Well, I do be washing it often to please
you.

488
00:29:06,530 --> 00:29:10,830
But when you're standing over a stove
all day, you can't help it.

489
00:29:11,050 --> 00:29:12,750
Forget what I said.

490
00:29:13,010 --> 00:29:14,630
My nerves were on edge.

491
00:29:14,850 --> 00:29:16,070
Maybe you'd better leave me alone.

492
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,380
Will you eat some breakfast now? Yes,
yes, in a while.

493
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,580
Fifteen minutes, say, but leave me alone
now.

494
00:29:54,540 --> 00:29:57,540
still bear the unmistakable stamp of an
officer and a gentleman.

495
00:29:59,020 --> 00:30:04,980
So I will remain to the end, spite of
all fate can do to crush my spirit.

496
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,420
I have not loved the world, nor the
world me.

497
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:17,020
I have not flattered its rank breath,
nor bowed to its idolatries a patient

498
00:30:17,020 --> 00:30:22,280
knee, nor coined my cheek to smile, nor
cried aloud in worship of an echo.

499
00:30:22,810 --> 00:30:25,270
In the crowd they could not deem me one
of such.

500
00:30:25,710 --> 00:30:30,370
I stood among them, but not of them.

501
00:30:32,030 --> 00:30:36,710
By the eternal, that expresses it. Thank
God for you, Lord Byron, poet and

502
00:30:36,710 --> 00:30:41,930
nobleman, who made of your disdain
immortal music.

503
00:30:44,090 --> 00:30:45,090
Oh,

504
00:30:45,670 --> 00:30:47,310
it's you, my dear.

505
00:30:48,710 --> 00:30:50,690
You going for a morning stroll?

506
00:30:51,820 --> 00:30:55,040
I leave a beautiful day for it. It will
bring fresh roses to your cheeks.

507
00:30:55,380 --> 00:31:00,180
Well, I don't know about your roses, but
it will bring a blush of shame to my

508
00:31:00,180 --> 00:31:01,180
cheeks.

509
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,820
I have to beg Nealon for another month's
credit because you made poor mother pay

510
00:31:05,820 --> 00:31:08,380
the feed bill for your fine,
thoroughbred mare.

511
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,060
I hope you see something in that mirror
you admire.

512
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,740
I suppose I must have looked a vain
peacock preening myself.

513
00:31:17,740 --> 00:31:21,440
You can blame the bad light in my room.
One cannot make a decent toilet in that

514
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,500
dindry hole in the wall.

515
00:31:23,060 --> 00:31:26,240
You have the best room in the house, the
one we ought to rent together.

516
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,560
I have no complaints. I was merely
explaining my seeming vanity.

517
00:31:31,060 --> 00:31:32,060
Seeming?

518
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,520
Hey, Sarah.

519
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:36,120
Must have written the wrong side of the
bed this morning.

520
00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:40,880
But it takes two to make a quarrel, and
I don't feel quarrelsome.

521
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,420
On the contrary, I was about to tell you
how exceedingly charming and pretty you

522
00:31:45,420 --> 00:31:47,140
look. Oh, thank you, Your Honor.

523
00:31:47,750 --> 00:31:51,830
Every day you resemble your mother more
as she looked when I first saw her. Oh,

524
00:31:51,830 --> 00:31:55,350
Moshe, but it's you who have the blind
end. Oh, God, forgive you. Be quiet,

525
00:31:55,450 --> 00:31:58,590
damn you. How dare you talk like a
common ignorant?

526
00:31:58,890 --> 00:32:00,490
You're my daughter, damn you.

527
00:32:03,810 --> 00:32:04,830
A fair hit.

528
00:32:06,030 --> 00:32:08,570
You're a great tease, aren't you, sir?

529
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,580
and drink. Surely you're not ashamed
before me after all these years.

530
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,060
Ashamed? A gentleman drinks as he
pleases.

531
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,019
A gentleman?

532
00:32:19,020 --> 00:32:21,920
I hesitated because I've made a good
resolve to be abstemious today.

533
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,760
But if you insist, my dear.

534
00:32:27,620 --> 00:32:28,700
To your happiness.

535
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,520
Won't you do me the favor to sit down?

536
00:32:39,180 --> 00:32:41,640
I wanted a quiet chat with you for some
time.

537
00:32:46,700 --> 00:32:47,880
What is it you want?

538
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,220
Your happiness, my dear.

539
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,340
How is our patient, young Simon Harford,
this morning?

540
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,400
He's fine. Better. I'm delighted to hear
it.

541
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,240
Let's be frank.

542
00:33:02,340 --> 00:33:06,060
Young Simon is in love with you. I can
see that with half an eye.

543
00:33:06,540 --> 00:33:07,800
And of course you know it.

544
00:33:09,370 --> 00:33:12,210
You return his love, I surmise?

545
00:33:12,650 --> 00:33:14,270
Surmise whatever you please.

546
00:33:14,850 --> 00:33:16,310
Meaning you do love him?

547
00:33:16,870 --> 00:33:18,150
I'm glad, Sarah.

548
00:33:19,850 --> 00:33:23,970
Requited love is the greatest blessing
life can bestow on us poor mortals.

549
00:33:24,310 --> 00:33:26,670
And first love is the most blessed of
all.

550
00:33:27,610 --> 00:33:32,970
As Lord Byron has it, sweeter than this
and these and all is first and

551
00:33:32,970 --> 00:33:38,220
passionate love. It stands alone like...
Adam's recollection of his fall. I

552
00:33:38,220 --> 00:33:41,740
wanted to listen to you recite Lord
Byron, but I... No, no, no, no, no. What

553
00:33:41,740 --> 00:33:45,540
I was leading up to is that you have my
blessing.

554
00:33:46,740 --> 00:33:48,640
If that means anything at all to you.

555
00:33:49,460 --> 00:33:52,820
Young Simon is, I believe, estimable
youth.

556
00:33:53,340 --> 00:33:56,740
It's been a privilege to converse with a
cultured gentleman again.

557
00:33:57,740 --> 00:34:01,100
True, he's a bit on the sober side for
one so young, but by way of

558
00:34:01,100 --> 00:34:06,180
compensation, there's a romantic touch
of the poet about him. Behind that

559
00:34:06,180 --> 00:34:08,900
Yankee phlegm. It's fine you approve of
him.

560
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,400
In your interest, I have had some
inquiries made about his family.

561
00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:15,699
Oh, have you indeed?

562
00:34:15,980 --> 00:34:18,699
Oh, mushy, but that's cute of you.

563
00:34:19,060 --> 00:34:25,000
Was it old Pat Riley the piper that made
them, or Dan Roche, or Paddy O'Dowd, or

564
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,639
some other drunken sponge?

565
00:34:26,900 --> 00:34:30,940
I find his people will pass muster. Oh,
do you? That's nice. Apparently the

566
00:34:30,940 --> 00:34:31,940
father is a gentleman.

567
00:34:32,540 --> 00:34:37,159
That is by Yankee standards, insofar as
one in trade can lay claim to that

568
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:41,219
title. But if I had become an American
citizen myself, I suppose it would be

569
00:34:41,219 --> 00:34:43,719
downright snobbery of me to hold to old
world standards.

570
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:49,239
Though it is difficult at times for my
pride to remember that I am no longer

571
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:55,880
the master of Melody Castle, an estate
of 3,000 acres of the finest pasture and

572
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,280
woodlands to be found in the whole of
the United Kingdom.

573
00:35:00,330 --> 00:35:04,570
My stable of hunters. Well, you've a
beautiful thoroughbred mare now to prove

574
00:35:04,570 --> 00:35:09,070
you're still a gentleman. Yes, I'm the
mare. And by God, I'll keep her if I

575
00:35:09,070 --> 00:35:10,710
have to starve myself so she may eat.

576
00:35:12,350 --> 00:35:14,390
But where was I?

577
00:35:15,490 --> 00:35:16,790
Ah, yes, yes.

578
00:35:17,050 --> 00:35:18,910
It's about young Simon's family.

579
00:35:20,050 --> 00:35:21,050
The...

580
00:35:21,250 --> 00:35:24,630
Father will pass muster, but I believe
it's through his mother that he comes by

581
00:35:24,630 --> 00:35:28,690
his really good blood. My understanding
is that she springs from generations of

582
00:35:28,690 --> 00:35:32,410
well-bred gentlefolk. Well, I'm sure it
would be a great pride to her to know

583
00:35:32,410 --> 00:35:33,770
that you found her suitable.

584
00:35:34,410 --> 00:35:37,630
I suppose I may expect the young man to
request an interview with me as soon as

585
00:35:37,630 --> 00:35:38,630
he's up and about again?

586
00:35:38,990 --> 00:35:42,790
To declare his honorable intention and
ask for my hand. Is that what you mean?

587
00:35:42,910 --> 00:35:44,110
Yes, naturally. He's a man of honor.

588
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,480
There are certain financial arrangements
his father or his legal representative

589
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,160
will want to discuss with me. There's
the amount of your settlement.

590
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:53,360
My settlement?

591
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,640
Oh, famous father.

592
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,640
Oh, God help me. Yes, naturally, your
settlement.

593
00:35:59,060 --> 00:36:02,900
You didn't think I hoped I would give
you away without a penny, like a poverty

594
00:36:02,900 --> 00:36:04,040
-stricken peasant's daughter.

595
00:36:04,540 --> 00:36:06,740
Please remember, I have my own position
to maintain.

596
00:36:07,980 --> 00:36:10,860
Of course, it is a bit difficult at the
moment.

597
00:36:11,450 --> 00:36:16,050
I thought perhaps mortgage on the inn.
It's mortgage to the hilt already, as

598
00:36:16,050 --> 00:36:17,050
you very well know.

599
00:36:17,210 --> 00:36:20,090
If nothing else, I can always give my
note at hand for whatever amount is

600
00:36:20,090 --> 00:36:23,030
necessary. Sure, you can give it, but
who'll take it? Between gentlemen, these

601
00:36:23,030 --> 00:36:24,030
things are always possible.

602
00:36:24,270 --> 00:36:25,750
Oh, God help you.

603
00:36:26,990 --> 00:36:31,270
Must be a wonderful thing to live in a
fairy tale where only dreams are real to

604
00:36:31,270 --> 00:36:32,270
you.

605
00:36:32,310 --> 00:36:35,390
You needn't waste your dreams worrying
about my affairs.

606
00:36:36,130 --> 00:36:39,930
I'll thank you not to interfere. Attend
to your drinking and leave me alone.

607
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:48,100
Father, will you not let yourself wake
up, not even now when you're sober or

608
00:36:48,100 --> 00:36:49,100
nearly?

609
00:36:49,220 --> 00:36:53,460
Is it stark mad you've gone that you
don't know what's dead and a lie and

610
00:36:53,460 --> 00:36:54,480
what's the living truth?

611
00:36:54,800 --> 00:37:00,800
Sarah, be quiet, damn you. How dare you
talk to me that way?

612
00:37:01,060 --> 00:37:04,000
I said it's Andy Jackson with you and
you're crazy.

613
00:37:04,260 --> 00:37:05,800
And I'll just take your damn...

614
00:37:11,180 --> 00:37:13,780
Good morning, Your Honor. How dare you
come in here in this manner?

615
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,780
You mistake this inn for the sort of
dirty chabine you were used to in the

616
00:37:16,780 --> 00:37:18,560
old world with pigs running in and out
the door?

617
00:37:19,180 --> 00:37:22,700
And you, Dan, didn't I forbid you ever
to mention that scoundrel Jackson's name

618
00:37:22,700 --> 00:37:25,940
in my inn or I'd horsewhip the hide off
you? Perhaps you think I can't carry out

619
00:37:25,940 --> 00:37:28,200
that... No, no, no, no, Major. I forgot.
I forgot.

620
00:37:28,660 --> 00:37:30,460
Good morning, Miss. Good morning, Miss.

621
00:37:31,260 --> 00:37:32,460
Where's your witch, Patch?

622
00:37:32,780 --> 00:37:33,780
Did you hear it, Honor?

623
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,840
Sure, it's you. God bless you.

624
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,040
Looks like a fairy princess as beautiful
as a rose in the morning dew.

625
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:44,900
I'll raise a tune for you. I want none
of your tunes.

626
00:37:46,820 --> 00:37:51,260
That's very sweet of you, Patch. I know
you'd raise a beautiful tune, but I have

627
00:37:51,260 --> 00:37:53,380
to go out. Into the bar, all of you,
where I belong.

628
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:54,800
I told you not to come in here.

629
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:57,080
I suppose it's a free drink hereafter.

630
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,460
No one can say I ever turned away anyone
thirsty from my door, I knew.

631
00:38:01,700 --> 00:38:03,000
Oh, I thank your honor.

632
00:38:03,260 --> 00:38:05,940
Now, now, come on, then. Come along,
Patch.

633
00:38:12,270 --> 00:38:14,250
Containers of your American estate.

634
00:38:18,170 --> 00:38:20,370
Don't let me keep you from the
gentlemen.

635
00:38:22,350 --> 00:38:24,590
Sarah. Have I kept you waiting?

636
00:38:25,050 --> 00:38:29,270
The jibber was in the toast. The first
batch burned black as cake, so my back

637
00:38:29,270 --> 00:38:29,948
was turned.

638
00:38:29,950 --> 00:38:34,190
But the bacon's crisp, and the eggs not
too soft, just the way you like them.

639
00:38:34,430 --> 00:38:35,510
Come sit down now.

640
00:38:37,650 --> 00:38:40,730
Mickey won't believe you said we could
have a drink, Your Honor, unless you

641
00:38:40,730 --> 00:38:41,730
come and tell him so.

642
00:38:42,860 --> 00:38:45,240
I'm coming. Oh, come on. I'm coming.

643
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,100
Find I'm not in the least hungry, Nora.

644
00:38:49,700 --> 00:38:51,920
I regret having caused you so much
trouble.

645
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:19,760
What are you talking about? For Christ's
sake!

646
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,120
Rolling up, rolling!

647
00:39:26,340 --> 00:39:29,360
I used to be alone for a while, quiet
with my memories.

648
00:39:30,820 --> 00:39:33,580
Corporal Began returns, Vicki. Send him
in to me. Right, Major.

649
00:39:38,340 --> 00:39:41,600
He at least knows Talavera isn't the
name of a new brand of whiskey.

650
00:40:17,450 --> 00:40:18,790
What is it, Father? Are you really sick?

651
00:40:19,050 --> 00:40:20,730
Oh, I beg your pardon, my dear.

652
00:40:21,450 --> 00:40:22,530
Didn't hear you come in.

653
00:40:23,590 --> 00:40:26,690
Faith, I was far away in spirit.

654
00:40:27,110 --> 00:40:31,170
Lost to memories of a glorious battle in
Spain 19 years ago today.

655
00:40:31,570 --> 00:40:34,690
Oh, the anniversary of Talavera, is it?

656
00:40:35,330 --> 00:40:40,290
Well, I know what that means. A great
day for the spongers and a bad day for

657
00:40:40,290 --> 00:40:41,009
this inn.

658
00:40:41,010 --> 00:40:45,570
I suppose you've given poor Mother
orders, as usual, to cook a grand feast

659
00:40:45,570 --> 00:40:46,509
for you.

660
00:40:46,510 --> 00:40:50,230
And you'll wear your beautiful uniform,
and I'll have the honor of waiting on

661
00:40:50,230 --> 00:40:51,230
table.

662
00:40:51,350 --> 00:40:54,070
Well, I'll do it just this once.

663
00:40:54,890 --> 00:40:58,210
Or else Mother would have to, but it'll
be the last time.

664
00:40:59,610 --> 00:41:03,290
You'll be pleased to know your daughter
had almost to beg on her knees before

665
00:41:03,290 --> 00:41:06,310
Neelan, before he'd give us another
month's credit.

666
00:41:07,090 --> 00:41:11,150
He let it be known that it was to Mother
he gave it, because he pities her for

667
00:41:11,150 --> 00:41:12,450
the husband she's got.

668
00:41:13,900 --> 00:41:17,320
Here's the milk the doctor ordered for
the young gentleman. It's time for it. I

669
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:18,420
knew you'd be going upstairs.

670
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:19,658
Thank you, Mother.

671
00:41:19,660 --> 00:41:24,420
I've just been telling him. I begged
another month's credit from Nealon, so

672
00:41:24,420 --> 00:41:26,600
he needn't worry. My dear, turn the feed
refuse.

673
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,820
Let me detain you, my dear. Take his
milk to our Yankee guests, as your

674
00:41:31,820 --> 00:41:32,820
mother suggests.

675
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,900
The poor young devil hasn't a chance of
you two scheming peasants laying traps

676
00:41:37,900 --> 00:41:41,060
to snare him. That's a lie, and leave
Mother out of your insult.

677
00:41:41,420 --> 00:41:44,700
And if all other tricks fail, there's
always one last trick to get him through

678
00:41:44,700 --> 00:41:45,399
his honour.

679
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,460
What trick do you mean? Hold your
freight now.

680
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,340
It's your fault for provoking him.

681
00:41:50,580 --> 00:41:51,580
All right, Mother.

682
00:41:52,620 --> 00:41:57,360
I'll leave him to look in the mirror
like he loves to and remember what he

683
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,060
said and be proud of himself.

684
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,320
I, uh... She may have dropped my
meaning.

685
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:13,750
It's as you say, she should... She goads
me into losing my temper and I say

686
00:42:13,750 --> 00:42:18,870
things. I know what made you say it. You
think maybe she's like I was and you

687
00:42:18,870 --> 00:42:23,130
can't help remembering my time with you.
No, no, no. I tell you she mistook my

688
00:42:23,130 --> 00:42:28,270
meaning. And now you damn, you're
creating about your sin, your shame.

689
00:42:30,610 --> 00:42:33,030
There was no shame in you then.

690
00:42:34,150 --> 00:42:36,610
You were the prettiest girl in all
Ireland.

691
00:42:37,730 --> 00:42:39,750
It was love and joy.

692
00:42:40,970 --> 00:42:43,470
There's glory in you then, and you were
proud.

693
00:42:43,970 --> 00:42:48,590
I'm proud still, and I will be till the
day I die.

694
00:42:50,870 --> 00:42:53,170
Now, why do you bring up the past? I
don't want to discuss it.

695
00:42:53,490 --> 00:42:56,390
Well, all the same, you shouldn't talk
to Sarah as if you thought she was up to

696
00:42:56,390 --> 00:42:59,550
anything to catch young Harper. I didn't
say that.

697
00:42:59,770 --> 00:43:03,430
She's my daughter. She is, surely, and
he's a decent lad.

698
00:43:03,670 --> 00:43:05,750
Sure, from all she's told me.

699
00:43:06,370 --> 00:43:07,510
He's that shy.

700
00:43:07,870 --> 00:43:10,250
He hasn't dared even to kiss her hand.

701
00:43:10,930 --> 00:43:13,050
I can well believe it.

702
00:43:13,630 --> 00:43:18,130
When it comes to lovemaking, the Yankees
are clumsy, fish-blooded louts.

703
00:43:18,890 --> 00:43:20,150
I was his age.

704
00:43:22,350 --> 00:43:26,550
Not that I disapprove of young Hartford,
mind you. He's a gentleman. When he asks

705
00:43:26,550 --> 00:43:28,830
me for Sarah's hand, I'll gladly give my
consent.

706
00:43:29,930 --> 00:43:32,650
Provided his father and I can agree on
the terms of his settlement.

707
00:43:32,870 --> 00:43:34,950
Oh, there's no need to think of that
yet.

708
00:43:35,940 --> 00:43:39,740
Yes, she'll be happy because she loves
him dearly, a lot more than she'll

709
00:43:39,740 --> 00:43:40,740
admit.

710
00:43:40,820 --> 00:43:43,480
And it'll give her a chance to rise in
the world.

711
00:43:44,260 --> 00:43:50,380
Oh, we'll live to see the day when
she'll live in a grand mansion, wearing

712
00:43:50,380 --> 00:43:54,960
silks and satins and riding in a
carriage with a coachman on her foot. I

713
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:56,560
desire that as much as you do, Nora.

714
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:58,660
I'm done, finished.

715
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:03,160
No future but the past. But my daughter
has the...

716
00:44:03,420 --> 00:44:05,620
Looks, the brains, ambition, youth.

717
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,240
She can go far.

718
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:12,480
You should just remember she's a
gentlewoman. Stop acting like a bog

719
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:13,620
-trotting peasant wench.

720
00:44:16,500 --> 00:44:17,500
Ah,

721
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:19,040
I'm back.

722
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,060
The sight of me seems to irritate her.
I'll go in the bar for a while.

723
00:44:23,340 --> 00:44:25,820
Let my fill of her insults for one
morning.

724
00:44:28,900 --> 00:44:32,560
And say, went into the bar to be out of
reaching your tongue.

725
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:38,020
Aren't you ashamed you haven't fed him
enough not to torment him when you know

726
00:44:38,020 --> 00:44:39,080
it's the anniversary?

727
00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:40,940
All right, Mother.

728
00:44:41,740 --> 00:44:44,860
Let him take whatever joy he can out of
the day.

729
00:44:46,020 --> 00:44:50,360
I'll even help you get his uniform out
of the trunk and brush it and clean it

730
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,080
for you. Oh, God bless you.

731
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,480
That's the... Glory be, you've changed
all of a sudden.

732
00:44:56,860 --> 00:44:57,960
What's come over you?

733
00:44:58,540 --> 00:45:01,360
Simon kissed me. Oh, oh, oh.

734
00:45:02,830 --> 00:45:04,090
But it was me who made him do it.

735
00:45:04,770 --> 00:45:08,350
I was freshening up his pillows and
leaning over him and he couldn't help it

736
00:45:08,350 --> 00:45:09,350
if he was human.

737
00:45:09,770 --> 00:45:11,350
And then you'd have laughed to see him.

738
00:45:11,810 --> 00:45:16,270
He began apologising as if I'd be so
insulted I'd never speak to him again.

739
00:45:16,430 --> 00:45:19,310
And what did you do? I'll wade your
warts as bright as you pretend.

740
00:45:20,730 --> 00:45:21,730
True, Mother.

741
00:45:22,430 --> 00:45:24,930
He made me as bashful as he was.

742
00:45:26,770 --> 00:45:27,970
What is that all?

743
00:45:28,990 --> 00:45:30,610
Sure, kissing is easy.

744
00:45:31,180 --> 00:45:32,520
Didn't he ask you if you'd marry?

745
00:45:32,940 --> 00:45:33,940
No.

746
00:45:34,220 --> 00:45:35,920
But it was my fault he didn't.

747
00:45:36,220 --> 00:45:39,620
All he needed was a word of
encouragement. But I stood there, dumb

748
00:45:39,620 --> 00:45:40,620
as a calf.

749
00:45:40,660 --> 00:45:44,500
And the end was I ran from the room,
blushing as red as a beet.

750
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:50,340
Oh, Mother, ain't it crazy to be such a
fool? Well, when you're in love, that's

751
00:45:50,340 --> 00:45:51,340
just it.

752
00:45:51,980 --> 00:45:54,180
I'm too much in love, and I don't want
to be.

753
00:45:54,980 --> 00:45:59,100
I won't let my heart rule my head, make
a slave of me.

754
00:45:59,980 --> 00:46:04,590
Oh. Well, he loves me as much, I know
that, and more.

755
00:46:05,290 --> 00:46:07,590
And the next time I'll keep my wits
about me.

756
00:46:08,010 --> 00:46:10,810
You can consider it as good as done,
Mother.

757
00:46:11,390 --> 00:46:12,390
I'm Mrs.

758
00:46:12,450 --> 00:46:18,030
Simon Harford, at your pleasure. Ah,
none of your airs and graces with me.

759
00:46:18,630 --> 00:46:20,890
Come on now, help me like you promised.

760
00:46:21,150 --> 00:46:23,370
We'll get your father's uniform out of
the trunk.

761
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,900
Oh, won't break your back in the attic
like it does mine. All right, come along

762
00:46:27,900 --> 00:46:32,460
then. I don't remember which trunk, and
you're going to have to help me find the

763
00:46:32,460 --> 00:46:33,460
key.

764
00:46:43,620 --> 00:46:45,580
Cursed, ignorant cattle.

765
00:46:47,580 --> 00:46:50,220
I wish Jamie Cregan would come.

766
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,480
Driven pillars of post in my own home.

767
00:47:01,300 --> 00:47:04,480
Everywhere ignorant, a corn of my own
daughter.

768
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:13,640
But by the eternal God, no power on
earth nor in hell itself will ever break

769
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:14,640
me.

770
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,860
I have not loved the world nor the world
me.

771
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:25,700
I have not flattered its rank breast nor
bowed to its idolatry, a patient knee.

772
00:47:26,670 --> 00:47:30,430
nor coined my cheek to smile, nor cried
aloud in worship of an echo.

773
00:47:30,750 --> 00:47:36,970
In a crowd they could not deem me one of
such. I stood among them, but not of

774
00:47:36,970 --> 00:47:37,970
them.

775
00:47:40,030 --> 00:47:41,550
I beg your pardon.

776
00:47:43,730 --> 00:47:45,470
Good morning, mademoiselle.

777
00:47:47,750 --> 00:47:48,950
If I may presume.

778
00:47:50,010 --> 00:47:52,850
I find it comfortable away from the
glare of the street.

779
00:47:54,530 --> 00:47:55,870
Thank you. Mademoiselle.

780
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:58,880
Pray forgive me, I see it is Madame.

781
00:48:00,220 --> 00:48:03,620
Permit me to say again how great an
honour I shall esteem it to be of any

782
00:48:03,620 --> 00:48:04,620
service.

783
00:48:05,420 --> 00:48:06,680
I beg your pardon, Madame.

784
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:11,200
I'm afraid my manners have grown roughly
with diffuse, and it's not often a lady

785
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:12,200
comes here now.

786
00:48:12,340 --> 00:48:15,720
This inn, like myself, has fallen upon
unlucky days.

787
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:22,380
You are, I presume, the innkeeper,
Melody. I am Major Cornelius Melody, one

788
00:48:22,380 --> 00:48:25,060
time of His Majesty's Seventh Dragoons,
at your service.

789
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:30,300
Well, then it is I who owe you an
apology, Major Melody. Oh, no, no, no,

790
00:48:30,300 --> 00:48:33,280
no, dear lady. The fault is mine. I
should not have taken offence.

791
00:48:34,460 --> 00:48:38,540
I may as well confess that my besetting
weakness is that of all gentlemen who

792
00:48:38,540 --> 00:48:39,540
have known better days.

793
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,100
I have a pride unduly sensitive to any
fancied slight.

794
00:48:44,460 --> 00:48:48,600
Well, I assure you, sir, there was no
intention on my part to slight you.

795
00:48:48,780 --> 00:48:50,880
You're as gracious as you are beautiful,
madame.

796
00:48:52,580 --> 00:48:54,080
I'm a poor fool, madame.

797
00:48:54,860 --> 00:48:58,920
I would be both wiser and happier if I
could reconcile myself to being a

798
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,620
proprietor of a tawdry tavern.

799
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,800
If I could abjure pride and forget the
past.

800
00:49:07,180 --> 00:49:10,540
Today, of all days, it is difficult to
forget, for it is the anniversary of the

801
00:49:10,540 --> 00:49:11,620
Battle of Talavera.

802
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:16,520
It was on that glorious day that I had
the honor to be commended for my bravery

803
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:18,600
by the great Duke of Wellington himself.

804
00:49:19,540 --> 00:49:24,100
So I'm sure you can find it in your
heart to forgive one so.

805
00:49:25,100 --> 00:49:30,060
Beautiful. Must understand the hearts of
men full well, since so many must have

806
00:49:30,060 --> 00:49:31,180
given their hearts to you.

807
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:32,840
Ah, yes.

808
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:37,420
I'll wager my all against a penny that
even among the fish-blooded Yankees

809
00:49:37,420 --> 00:49:42,100
there's not a man whose heart doesn't
catch flame from your beauty, as mine

810
00:49:42,100 --> 00:49:43,100
does now.

811
00:49:47,240 --> 00:49:48,460
You're drunk, sir.

812
00:49:50,260 --> 00:49:51,580
You reek of whiskey.

813
00:49:52,430 --> 00:49:57,690
You are both insolent and disgusting. I
don't wonder your inn enjoys such meagre

814
00:49:57,690 --> 00:50:02,110
patronage if you regale all of your
guests with my sex with this absurd

815
00:50:02,110 --> 00:50:03,110
performance.

816
00:50:03,650 --> 00:50:05,430
God help us. What is it, Father?

817
00:50:05,930 --> 00:50:07,430
What does the lady wish?

818
00:50:08,750 --> 00:50:13,350
I've come here to see you, Miss Melody,
hoping you might have some information

819
00:50:13,350 --> 00:50:15,270
about the whereabouts of my son.

820
00:50:16,970 --> 00:50:21,170
Son, you are his mother? Madam, with
God's name, why didn't you say so? I've

821
00:50:21,170 --> 00:50:24,090
been to the cabin to find the hermit
who's flown.

822
00:50:24,410 --> 00:50:25,630
He's here, Mrs. Harford.

823
00:50:26,030 --> 00:50:27,110
He's been sick.

824
00:50:27,790 --> 00:50:31,150
Sick? Well, not seriously. Oh, he's over
it now, or almost.

825
00:50:31,530 --> 00:50:35,250
It was only a spell of chills and fever
he caught from the damp of the lake.

826
00:50:35,750 --> 00:50:39,750
I had him come here where there's a
doctor handy and someone to nurse him.

827
00:50:39,870 --> 00:50:45,010
That someone being you, Miss Mallory?
Yes, me and my mother and I.

828
00:50:45,230 --> 00:50:50,600
Well. I'm very grateful to you and to
your mother for your kindness. Oh, don't

829
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,720
you be thanking us, ma'am. Sure, your
son is a fine, decent lad, and we've all

830
00:50:54,720 --> 00:50:58,680
great fondness for him. Oh, he'd be
welcome here if he hadn't paid a penny.

831
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,520
This is my mother, Mrs. Harford. Well,
how do you do?

832
00:51:01,860 --> 00:51:05,660
Nora, for the love of God, stop it. I'm
sure Mrs. Harford is willing to be taken

833
00:51:05,660 --> 00:51:07,660
to her son. Am I not right, mother? That
is true.

834
00:51:07,980 --> 00:51:11,820
If you would be so kind, Miss Melody,
I've only time for a very short visit.

835
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,060
Please follow me, Mrs. Harford.

836
00:51:14,730 --> 00:51:16,370
What a pleasant surprise for Simon.

837
00:51:17,490 --> 00:51:20,950
He didn't pretend he was sick, only he
didn't want to worry you.

838
00:51:21,870 --> 00:51:23,990
Damn fool of a woman.

839
00:51:25,070 --> 00:51:29,610
But she didn't fool me with her insulted
airs. I've known too many women.

840
00:51:30,330 --> 00:51:35,410
Absurd performance, was it? Goddamn her.
Don't be coarse in her and tormenting

841
00:51:35,410 --> 00:51:37,370
yourself. Sure, she seems a kind lady.

842
00:51:37,830 --> 00:51:42,030
She won't hurl it against you. Once she
stops to think, no, you didn't know who

843
00:51:42,030 --> 00:51:43,190
she was. Be quiet.

844
00:51:43,790 --> 00:51:44,810
Forget it now, do you?

845
00:51:45,070 --> 00:51:46,370
For Sarah's sake.

846
00:51:47,190 --> 00:51:50,230
Sure you wouldn't want anything to come
between her and the lad.

847
00:51:51,810 --> 00:51:53,410
You can go on up to your room.

848
00:51:53,690 --> 00:51:55,650
You'll find something to take your mind
off.

849
00:51:56,430 --> 00:51:59,730
Sarah and I have your uniform brushed
and laid out on the... Put it back in

850
00:51:59,730 --> 00:52:01,310
the trunk. I don't want it to remind me.

851
00:52:02,350 --> 00:52:05,810
By the eternal I'll wager she believed
what I told her of Talavera and the

852
00:52:05,810 --> 00:52:08,250
great duke honoring me was a drunken
liar's boast.

853
00:52:08,550 --> 00:52:10,370
She never can. She couldn't.

854
00:52:12,220 --> 00:52:15,340
Seeing would be believing, wouldn't it,
my fine lady?

855
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:23,700
Thank you for reminding me of my duties
to Sarah. You are right. I owe it to her

856
00:52:23,700 --> 00:52:27,520
interest to forget my anger and make a
formal apology to Diamond's mother for

857
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:28,520
our little misunderstanding.

858
00:52:31,100 --> 00:52:34,760
The lady should come back. Kindly keep
her here on some pretense till I come

859
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:35,760
back.

860
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:39,160
Oh, well.

861
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:41,200
That's all right.

862
00:52:42,190 --> 00:52:44,070
He'd have been his best behaviour now.

863
00:52:45,210 --> 00:52:48,050
And you'd feel proud to get in his
uniform.

864
00:52:51,350 --> 00:52:52,490
What's the father doing?

865
00:52:52,830 --> 00:52:56,470
Oh, we got him to go upstairs and try on
his uniform. It'll console him.

866
00:52:57,330 --> 00:52:58,430
Console him?

867
00:52:59,270 --> 00:53:04,250
It's me ought to be consoled for having
such a great fall for a father. Yes, no.

868
00:53:04,790 --> 00:53:06,150
How could he know?

869
00:53:06,390 --> 00:53:07,390
Yes.

870
00:53:07,790 --> 00:53:08,790
Serves her right.

871
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,540
And she didn't act as insulted as she
might.

872
00:53:12,240 --> 00:53:14,280
Maybe she liked it for all her
pretenses.

873
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:22,960
As crazy as he is, him and his drunken
lovemaking, well, he won't forget in a

874
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,520
hurry how she snubbed him and treated
him as if he was no better than dirt

875
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,240
under her feet. She did not.

876
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,940
She had the sense to see that he'd been
drinking and not to mind him.

877
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:33,400
Maybe.

878
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,080
But isn't that bad enough?

879
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:41,380
What woman would want her son to marry
the daughter of a man like... Oh,

880
00:53:41,380 --> 00:53:42,380
Mother.

881
00:53:43,020 --> 00:53:45,160
Why did she have to come today?

882
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:50,040
If she'd waited till tomorrow even, I'd
have got him to ask me to marry him.

883
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:54,320
Once he's done that, no power on earth
can stop him.

884
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:59,740
If he really loves you, no power on
earth can change him anyway.

885
00:54:00,900 --> 00:54:01,900
Don't I know?

886
00:54:04,110 --> 00:54:06,690
She's his mother, and she loves him.

887
00:54:07,170 --> 00:54:10,930
And she'll want him to be happy, and
she'll see that he loves you.

888
00:54:13,070 --> 00:54:15,830
What makes you think she'll try to
change him?

889
00:54:16,190 --> 00:54:20,970
Because she hates me, Mother, for one
reason. She doesn't. She couldn't. She

890
00:54:20,970 --> 00:54:25,050
does. Oh, she acted as nice as nice, but
she didn't fool me.

891
00:54:26,170 --> 00:54:28,630
It isn't just to see Simon that she's
come here.

892
00:54:29,010 --> 00:54:33,050
It's because Simon's father got a letter
from him. Someone telling him.

893
00:54:33,500 --> 00:54:37,120
About us, and he showed it to her. Oh,
did a dirty trick like that.

894
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:39,420
It wasn't signed, she said.

895
00:54:40,420 --> 00:54:44,680
I suppose someone around here who hates
father and who doesn't. I'd look to the

896
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:45,880
black art whoever it is.

897
00:54:46,340 --> 00:54:50,100
She said Simon's father's wild with
anger and he's gone to his lawyer.

898
00:54:50,740 --> 00:54:52,020
But that doesn't worry me.

899
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,880
It's only her influence that I'm afraid
of.

900
00:54:55,380 --> 00:54:57,000
How do you know about the letter?

901
00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,760
I sneaked back to the door and listened
outside.

902
00:55:00,340 --> 00:55:02,460
Shame on you. You should have more
pride.

903
00:55:02,940 --> 00:55:06,600
I was ashamed, Mother, after a moment or
two, and then I came away.

904
00:55:08,940 --> 00:55:10,960
No, I'm not ashamed.

905
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:15,040
I wanted to learn what tricks she might
be up to, so I'll know how to fight

906
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:16,040
them.

907
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,800
Don't look for trouble before it comes.

908
00:55:20,860 --> 00:55:25,700
Wait and see now. Maybe you'll find it.
I'll find what I said, Mother, that she

909
00:55:25,700 --> 00:55:26,700
hates me.

910
00:55:27,660 --> 00:55:29,540
Even if she'd come here with good
intentions.

911
00:55:30,300 --> 00:55:34,180
She wouldn't have them now after our
great gentleman has insulted her.

912
00:55:35,140 --> 00:55:37,480
Thank God he's putting on his uniform.

913
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,920
He'll be hours before the mirror and
she'll be gone before he can make a fool

914
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:42,920
of himself again.

915
00:55:44,100 --> 00:55:47,280
But I'd like her to see him in his
uniform if he were sober.

916
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,440
She'll find she couldn't look down on
him.

917
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,480
I'm as crazy as he is.

918
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,660
As if she wouldn't have the brains to
see through him.

919
00:55:58,860 --> 00:56:04,520
Leave him be for the love of God. Well,
let her try whatever game she likes.

920
00:56:05,100 --> 00:56:11,440
She'll find I have brains too. Only,
like Simon says, I feel she's strange

921
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:15,600
and queer behind her ladylike airs. And
it'll be hard to know what she's really

922
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:16,600
up to.

923
00:56:18,060 --> 00:56:19,060
That's her now.

924
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:21,200
She didn't waste much time.

925
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,020
Go into the kitchen, Mother.

926
00:56:24,300 --> 00:56:26,480
I want to give her a chance to have it
out with me alone.

927
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:30,960
Didn't you hear me, Mother?

928
00:56:31,900 --> 00:56:32,900
Hurry!

929
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:47,700
Well, I'm glad to see you again, Miss
Melody.

930
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,800
It gives me another opportunity to
express my gratitude.

931
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:54,100
For your kindness to my son.

932
00:56:54,340 --> 00:56:55,340
Thank you, Mrs. Harford.

933
00:56:55,820 --> 00:56:58,600
My mother and I have been only too happy
to do what we could.

934
00:56:59,180 --> 00:57:01,240
We're very fond of Simon. Yes.

935
00:57:02,660 --> 00:57:03,960
Yes, I believe you are.

936
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,520
And Simon's told me how fond he is of
you.

937
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:13,260
This is the first time I've seen Simon
since he left home to seek self

938
00:57:13,260 --> 00:57:15,320
-emancipation at the breast of nature.

939
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:20,820
I find him not so greatly changed as his
letters have led me to believe.

940
00:57:21,740 --> 00:57:25,560
I would have thought the discovery that
the poetry he hoped the freedom of

941
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:30,200
nature would inspire him to write is
after all but a bad imitation of Lord

942
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,860
Byron's would have more bitterly
depressed his spirit.

943
00:57:33,980 --> 00:57:39,440
But it seems he found a new romantic
dream by way of recompense, as I might

944
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:40,440
have known he would.

945
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,720
Simon is an inveterate dreamer.

946
00:57:44,100 --> 00:57:46,800
It's a quality he inherited from me, I'm
afraid.

947
00:57:48,140 --> 00:57:51,580
Although the Harfords have been great
dreamers, too, in their way.

948
00:57:52,180 --> 00:57:54,260
Even my husband has a dream.

949
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:58,280
Oh, it's a conservative material dream,
naturally.

950
00:57:59,700 --> 00:58:06,160
I've just been reminding Simon that
his... father is rigidly unforgiving

951
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:07,720
when his dream is flouted.

952
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:12,740
And very practical in his methods of
defending it. I don't think Simon

953
00:58:12,740 --> 00:58:13,980
imitates Lord Byron.

954
00:58:14,300 --> 00:58:16,300
I hate Lord Byron's poetry.

955
00:58:16,860 --> 00:58:19,100
And I think there's a true poet in
Simon.

956
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,000
Oh, in feeling, of course.

957
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,440
It's only natural that you should admire
that in him now.

958
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:34,320
But I warn you, it's a quality very
difficult for a woman to go on admiring

959
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,920
in a Harford, judging from what I know
of the family history.

960
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:45,220
Simon's grandfather had the same
quality, a fanatic in the cause of

961
00:58:45,220 --> 00:58:46,220
freedom.

962
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:50,700
He went to France and became a rabid
Jacobin, a follower of Robespierre.

963
00:58:51,300 --> 00:58:54,960
He would have liked to have gone to the
guillotine with his incorruptible

964
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:59,020
redeemer, but he was just too
unimportant.

965
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:02,100
They simply forgot to kill him.

966
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:04,800
I remember him very well.

967
00:59:06,100 --> 00:59:12,160
A cruel, gentle, futile old idealist who
used to often dress in his old uniform

968
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,600
of the French Republican National Guard.

969
00:59:15,790 --> 00:59:17,290
He died wearing it.

970
00:59:18,890 --> 00:59:25,630
But the point is, you see, you have no
idea of the revengeful

971
00:59:25,630 --> 00:59:31,390
hate this harford passion for freedom
has imposed upon the women who've shared

972
00:59:31,390 --> 00:59:32,390
their lives.

973
00:59:33,610 --> 00:59:39,690
Simon's great aunts, the sisters, as
everyone called them, were actually

974
00:59:39,690 --> 00:59:43,070
driven to make a large fortune in the
slave trade.

975
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:51,100
It's a sort of triumphant climax, I
imagine, of their long battle to escape

976
00:59:51,100 --> 00:59:54,260
the enslavement of freedom by enslaving
it themselves.

977
00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:00,420
I'm sorry they're dead and can't know
you.

978
01:00:02,180 --> 01:00:04,180
They would approve of you, I think.

979
01:00:05,700 --> 01:00:12,520
They would see that you are young and
ambitious and determined to take

980
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:13,520
what you want.

981
01:00:13,820 --> 01:00:17,740
They would have smiled like hungry
serpents and welcomed you into their

982
01:00:17,740 --> 01:00:18,740
coils.

983
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:21,000
Evil old witches.

984
01:00:23,220 --> 01:00:24,540
Quite detestable.

985
01:00:27,140 --> 01:00:30,460
But I... I couldn't help admiring them.

986
01:00:32,420 --> 01:00:33,860
Pitying them, too, in the end.

987
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,640
You see, we had a bond in common.

988
01:00:38,500 --> 01:00:40,020
They idolized Napoleon.

989
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,260
And I used to dream that I was
Josephine.

990
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,860
Even after my marriage, I'm afraid.

991
01:00:48,460 --> 01:00:50,540
I've always admired him, too.

992
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:55,940
It's one of the things I've held against
my father, that he fought against him

993
01:00:55,940 --> 01:01:00,740
and not for him. Well, Miss Melody, it's
very tiresome of me to stand here giving

994
01:01:00,740 --> 01:01:02,740
you a discourse on Harford family
history.

995
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:07,820
But no doubt Simon has told you I am a
little eccentric at times.

996
01:01:08,650 --> 01:01:14,790
I really don't know what's inspired me,
except that I wish to be fair and warn

997
01:01:14,790 --> 01:01:15,790
you.

998
01:01:15,910 --> 01:01:17,850
Warn me about what, Mrs. Harford?

999
01:01:19,030 --> 01:01:25,510
Why, that the Harfords never part with
their dreams, even when they deny them.

1000
01:01:26,770 --> 01:01:27,770
They cannot.

1001
01:01:29,410 --> 01:01:30,830
That's the family curse.

1002
01:01:34,290 --> 01:01:35,290
Well...

1003
01:01:35,630 --> 01:01:39,410
I began to resemble Cassandra with all
my warnings, and I continued to stand

1004
01:01:39,410 --> 01:01:40,710
here boring you with words.

1005
01:01:41,090 --> 01:01:42,090
Goodbye, Miss Melody.

1006
01:01:42,350 --> 01:01:43,670
Goodbye, Mrs. Harford.

1007
01:01:44,310 --> 01:01:48,810
Oh, Mrs. Harford, I... Yes, Miss Melody.

1008
01:01:50,330 --> 01:01:53,970
Isn't there some sort of cooling drink I
can get you?

1009
01:01:54,290 --> 01:01:57,610
You must be parched after your long walk
in the woods. No.

1010
01:01:58,590 --> 01:01:59,590
No, thank you.

1011
01:02:00,370 --> 01:02:04,570
Yes, I did find my walk in the woods a
strangely overpowering experience.

1012
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,660
I shall never venture forth again to do
my duty.

1013
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:14,780
A noble occupation, no doubt, for those
who can presume to know what their duty

1014
01:02:14,780 --> 01:02:15,780
to others is.

1015
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:18,480
This time I really am going.

1016
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:30,900
God forgive you, sir, for letting her
go.

1017
01:02:31,260 --> 01:02:34,260
Your father told me. Oh, she hates me.

1018
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,380
I can feel it, but you can't tell.

1019
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:41,460
She's crazy, I think.

1020
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:45,760
She may be daft, but she's no fool.

1021
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:47,520
Oh, no.

1022
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:52,100
I know she never let Simon guess she'd
rather have him dead than married to me.

1023
01:02:52,940 --> 01:02:58,620
No, she'd... she'd say... she'd say he
ought to wait to prove he's sure,

1024
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,000
anything to give her time.

1025
01:03:00,220 --> 01:03:01,620
I'm said to be down any moment.

1026
01:03:01,980 --> 01:03:04,940
I'm going out into the garden. Oh, come
along with me.

1027
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,420
Give him a chance to get over his rage.
Leave me alone, Mother.

1028
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,300
I have to plan the best way to act when
I see Simon.

1029
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,120
I won't go to him again today.

1030
01:03:16,060 --> 01:03:18,980
You can take his meals and his milk to
him if you will, Mother.

1031
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:23,060
I want him to be anxious and afraid that
maybe he's done something wrong.

1032
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:28,820
If he once gets the idea that maybe he's
lost me, that ought to help, don't you

1033
01:03:28,820 --> 01:03:29,820
think, Mother?

1034
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:32,440
Oh, God, help me.

1035
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:54,280
happened to go to my room and I found
your mother and you had laid out my

1036
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,720
uniform so invitingly I couldn't resist
the temptation to put it on at once

1037
01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:59,600
instead of waiting till tonight.

1038
01:04:00,100 --> 01:04:01,240
I see you did.

1039
01:04:02,180 --> 01:04:04,560
You look grand and handsome, Father.

1040
01:04:05,660 --> 01:04:08,120
It's very kind of you to say that, my
dear Sarah.

1041
01:04:09,340 --> 01:04:13,160
I flatter myself I don't look too unlike
the man I was when I wore this uniform

1042
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:13,879
with honor.

1043
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:18,520
Father, why can't you ever be the thing
you seem to be? The man you were.

1044
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:20,860
I wish I knew that soldier.

1045
01:04:21,460 --> 01:04:24,340
I think he was the only man who wasn't
just a dream.

1046
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:26,820
I don't understand you.

1047
01:04:29,380 --> 01:04:33,100
I suspect you're still holding against
me my unfortunate blunder with your

1048
01:04:33,100 --> 01:04:34,100
future mother-in-law.

1049
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,240
I did put my foot into it, didn't I?

1050
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:44,140
Devil of it is, I can never make up
these Yankee ladies.

1051
01:04:44,980 --> 01:04:48,740
Do them the honor of complimenting them
with a... Harmless bit of flattery, and

1052
01:04:48,740 --> 01:04:52,680
lo and behold, suddenly the lady behaves
as if I'd insulted her.

1053
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:57,800
But what I wanted to tell you was, I'm
sorry it happened, Sarah, and I shall do

1054
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:02,200
my best to make an honorable amends for
the sake of your interests.

1055
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:06,540
I shall do the lady the honor of
tendering her my humble apologies when

1056
01:05:06,540 --> 01:05:07,540
she comes downstairs.

1057
01:05:07,660 --> 01:05:11,740
You'll get no chance to make bad worse
by trying to fascinate her with your

1058
01:05:11,740 --> 01:05:12,740
beautiful uniform.

1059
01:05:13,260 --> 01:05:14,260
She's gone.

1060
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:20,860
You're lying, damn you. I'm not. She's
been gone ten minutes or more.

1061
01:05:21,220 --> 01:05:22,400
I told you, Mother.

1062
01:05:22,740 --> 01:05:26,160
Oh, that's why Mother was so frightened.

1063
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:31,140
Well, I was the one who let her go, so
you needn't take your rage out on poor

1064
01:05:31,140 --> 01:05:32,200
Mother. Rage?

1065
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:34,740
My dear Sarah, all I feel is relief.

1066
01:05:35,380 --> 01:05:37,840
Surely you can't believe that I could
have looked forward to humbling my

1067
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:39,700
pride, even though it would have
furthered your interest.

1068
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:44,300
Furthered my interest by giving her
another chance to laugh up her sleeve at

1069
01:05:44,300 --> 01:05:45,300
your pretenses?

1070
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:48,240
Ara, God pity you.

1071
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,580
Here's Cregan back to see you, Major.

1072
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:01,040
Cregan?

1073
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:03,260
Oh, Jamie.

1074
01:06:04,420 --> 01:06:06,860
My old comrade in arms.

1075
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:11,820
By the powers, I'm glad to see you,
Jamie. Come on in. You'll join me in a

1076
01:06:11,820 --> 01:06:12,820
drink? I know.

1077
01:06:13,450 --> 01:06:15,870
Be gone, it's the old uniform, Norris.

1078
01:06:16,910 --> 01:06:19,850
And just look as fine a figure in it as
ever you did in Spain.

1079
01:06:20,170 --> 01:06:21,170
Hardly, Jamie.

1080
01:06:21,230 --> 01:06:22,990
Not a total ruin yet, I hope.

1081
01:06:23,370 --> 01:06:24,730
Put it on in honour of the day.

1082
01:06:25,530 --> 01:06:28,730
Shame you dog not to remember Talavera.

1083
01:06:29,350 --> 01:06:33,630
Talavera? Where I got my shaver cut, be
the mortal, I remember that.

1084
01:06:34,410 --> 01:06:36,270
And you have a cause to celebrate.

1085
01:06:36,510 --> 01:06:39,910
You was worth only ten men in the army
that day. You think I may say I did

1086
01:06:39,910 --> 01:06:40,910
acquit myself with honour?

1087
01:06:41,450 --> 01:06:42,670
So for that matter, did you?

1088
01:06:43,500 --> 01:06:48,140
To the day and your good health,
Corporal Cregan. To the day and

1089
01:06:48,140 --> 01:06:50,220
yourself. God bless you, Con.

1090
01:06:51,700 --> 01:06:54,620
I said to the day and your good health,
Corporal Cregan.

1091
01:06:55,940 --> 01:06:56,940
Oh, thank God.

1092
01:06:57,340 --> 01:06:59,940
As you can beat the world and never let
it change you.

1093
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:02,140
To the day and yourself.

1094
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:04,120
Major Melody.

1095
01:07:06,980 --> 01:07:08,100
Drink hearty, Corporal.

1096
01:07:39,009 --> 01:07:41,950
Now here, here is the river Tagus.

1097
01:07:44,250 --> 01:07:46,370
And here, Palavera.

1098
01:07:48,910 --> 01:07:53,870
This one, on the rise of ground with the
plane, between our lines and theirs.

1099
01:07:54,510 --> 01:07:58,710
And over here, in the little valley to
our left, is our brigade.

1100
01:07:59,090 --> 01:08:02,230
Do you remember it, your corporal?
Remember it? I see it as clear as

1101
01:08:02,230 --> 01:08:03,230
yesterday.

1102
01:08:03,890 --> 01:08:08,230
That's enough of your loud blathering.
We can't hear each other. Oh, quiet it

1103
01:08:08,230 --> 01:08:14,790
is, Major. Be quiet, Potch. Now, where
was I? Oh, yes, yes.

1104
01:08:15,250 --> 01:08:19,550
We were waiting in the valley, and we
heard a French trumpet. from behind the

1105
01:08:19,550 --> 01:08:22,069
line, and we saw them forming for the
attack.

1106
01:08:23,069 --> 01:08:26,250
Never forget the blast of death from the
French squares.

1107
01:08:26,510 --> 01:08:29,550
I'll have your plate of your plays,
Major, before your gallant dragoons

1108
01:08:29,550 --> 01:08:31,210
charge over it and break it.

1109
01:08:33,470 --> 01:08:34,910
Wet your lip, Corporal.

1110
01:08:36,790 --> 01:08:39,689
W-30, Talavera, as you remember.

1111
01:08:40,010 --> 01:08:41,010
It was that.

1112
01:08:42,250 --> 01:08:45,569
That's good wine, good wine, Corporal,
good wine. Thank God I still have wine

1113
01:08:45,569 --> 01:08:46,750
in my cellar fit for a gentleman.

1114
01:08:47,010 --> 01:08:49,729
Are you going to let me have your plate?
Oh, no, no, no. I have no need to

1115
01:08:49,729 --> 01:08:52,870
apologize for the wine or for the
dinner, for that matter. But I do owe

1116
01:08:52,870 --> 01:08:54,569
you an apology for the quality of the
service.

1117
01:08:55,170 --> 01:08:58,810
I'll try to teach the waitress not to
snap plates from the table as if she

1118
01:08:58,810 --> 01:09:01,729
were feeding dogs in a kennel, but she
cannot learn. There, now.

1119
01:09:02,210 --> 01:09:03,210
Let's see you take it properly.

1120
01:09:14,790 --> 01:09:19,010
It was where the French artillery opened
up on us, Major.

1121
01:09:21,029 --> 01:09:22,029
Yes.

1122
01:09:22,450 --> 01:09:26,930
We charged a column here that was
pushing back the guards.

1123
01:09:28,990 --> 01:09:31,090
I'll never forget the blast of death.

1124
01:09:31,590 --> 01:09:34,410
Never forget that blast of death from
the French guards.

1125
01:09:34,630 --> 01:09:37,910
You escaped with only a bullet through
your coat.

1126
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:42,439
I have this token on me cheek to
remember a French sabre. Brave days,

1127
01:09:42,819 --> 01:09:46,080
corporal brave days. By the eternal then
one lived.

1128
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:48,160
Then one forgot.

1129
01:09:50,260 --> 01:09:54,660
Little did I dream then the disgrace
that was to be my reward later on. Oh,

1130
01:09:54,700 --> 01:09:56,860
well, that's the bad luck of things.

1131
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:01,120
You'd have been made colonel soon if
you'd left that Spanish woman alone and

1132
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:02,120
not fought that duel.

1133
01:10:02,420 --> 01:10:04,560
You're presuming to judge my conduct in
that affair?

1134
01:10:04,820 --> 01:10:06,900
Sorry, I bet not. Don't mind me now.

1135
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:11,160
Except what your apology go for.

1136
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:18,880
He's a lunatic, though. I mean, standing
there in his red coat like a play actor

1137
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:21,000
lying about his battles with the French.

1138
01:10:21,420 --> 01:10:25,260
He ought to be ashamed he ever wore the
bloody red of England. God's curse on

1139
01:10:25,260 --> 01:10:29,460
him, anyway. Don't wish him harm, for
it's thirsty we'd be without him.

1140
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:35,400
Drink long life to him, and may he
always be the fool he is tonight.

1141
01:10:36,480 --> 01:10:37,760
I'll toast him on that.

1142
01:10:39,630 --> 01:10:40,770
A toast to you, Major.

1143
01:10:42,130 --> 01:10:46,230
To the finest gentleman that ever came
from the shores of Ireland.

1144
01:10:46,750 --> 01:10:47,990
Long life to you, Major.

1145
01:10:48,250 --> 01:10:49,250
For all.

1146
01:10:50,150 --> 01:10:52,250
Long life to your honour.

1147
01:10:53,270 --> 01:10:56,670
And to all that belong to you. Long life
to you, Major.

1148
01:10:57,490 --> 01:10:58,850
Thank you for your toast.

1149
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:17,340
shock of men to hear to see to feel and
to possess

1150
01:11:17,340 --> 01:11:23,940
roam along the world's tired denizen of
none who bless us none whom we can

1151
01:11:23,940 --> 01:11:30,640
bless minions of splendor shrinking from
distress none

1152
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:35,240
that with kindred consciousness endued
if we were not would seem to smile the

1153
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:39,490
less of all that flattered, followed,
sought, and sued.

1154
01:11:39,990 --> 01:11:41,470
This is to be alone.

1155
01:11:42,410 --> 01:11:44,610
This, this is solitude.

1156
01:11:49,090 --> 01:11:50,770
Not that you don't understand me, lads.

1157
01:11:52,010 --> 01:11:53,390
Well, all the better for you.

1158
01:11:54,490 --> 01:11:58,810
So you may go on fooling yourselves that
I am fooling you.

1159
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,860
Give us a hunting song, Pats. You've not
forgotten Motherina Roo, I'll be bound.

1160
01:12:09,060 --> 01:12:11,080
Does the duck forget water? I'll show
ye.

1161
01:12:11,300 --> 01:12:13,540
I hate Motherina Roo. Motherina Roo.

1162
01:12:14,020 --> 01:12:15,020
Boy.

1163
01:12:17,500 --> 01:12:20,740
Oh, the fox sat him down and looked
about.

1164
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:22,880
Many were feared to follow.

1165
01:12:23,500 --> 01:12:27,200
Maybe I'm wrong to see, but I doubt that
you'll be as gay tomorrow.

1166
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:31,720
For loud as you cry and high as you
ride, just a little yell will heal my

1167
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:36,460
sorrow. I'll be free on the mountainside
when you lie low to me.

1168
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:42,740
Mother in a row, mother in a row, mother
in a row, mother in a row, mother in a

1169
01:12:42,740 --> 01:12:48,360
row, mother in a row, mother in a row,
mother in a row, mother in a row, mother

1170
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:50,880
in a row, mother in a row, mother in a
row, mother in a row, mother in a row,

1171
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:50,940
mother in a row, mother in a row, mother
in a row, mother in a row, mother in a

1172
01:12:50,940 --> 01:12:57,060
row, mother in a row, mother in a row,
mother in a row,

1173
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:06,860
and a true Irish hunter under me that
knows and loves me and would raise to a

1174
01:13:06,860 --> 01:13:08,820
jump over hell if I gave the word.

1175
01:13:09,100 --> 01:13:14,980
The hell with men, I say. Give me a
horse to love and I'll cry quits to men.

1176
01:13:15,340 --> 01:13:21,140
And then away with the hounds in full
cry and after them, off with devil a

1177
01:13:21,140 --> 01:13:26,080
care for your neck over ditches and
streams and stone walls and fences, the

1178
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:30,140
fox doubling up the mountain sides of
the falls and the heather.

1179
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,720
Well, what is it? What do you want? What
are you waiting for?

1180
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:38,220
What would I be waiting for but for you
to finish your blather about loving

1181
01:13:38,220 --> 01:13:41,000
horses and give me a chance to get on
with my work?

1182
01:13:41,860 --> 01:13:46,920
Can you and the other gentleman finish
getting drunk in the bar and leave me to

1183
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:47,920
clear the dishes?

1184
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:52,400
No, Sarah, be easy.

1185
01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:00,260
I beg your pardon, my dear, if I have
interfered with your duties.

1186
01:14:01,860 --> 01:14:03,080
Into the bar, you louts.

1187
01:14:03,340 --> 01:14:07,660
Right. Come on. Come on.

1188
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:10,540
Wake up. Go along, Copper Creek, and
I'll join you later.

1189
01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:17,200
I won't. I have no time for a mother
who's half dead in her feet.

1190
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:18,720
I want to help her.

1191
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:24,320
Won't fit the time, my dear.

1192
01:14:26,340 --> 01:14:28,660
You never dared face the truth about
yourself.

1193
01:14:29,370 --> 01:14:31,070
You'd hate and despise yourself.

1194
01:14:31,930 --> 01:14:35,830
All I pray to God is that one day when
you're admiring yourself in the mirror,

1195
01:14:35,910 --> 01:14:38,510
something will make you see what you
really are.

1196
01:14:38,870 --> 01:14:41,030
Sit down, my dear. I won't detain you
long.

1197
01:14:41,970 --> 01:14:45,950
I think you'll find what I have to tell
you a very great interest.

1198
01:14:47,750 --> 01:14:49,970
You better think well before you speak,
Father.

1199
01:14:50,870 --> 01:14:54,970
I know well the devil that's in you when
you're quiet like this and your brain

1200
01:14:54,970 --> 01:14:55,970
mad with drink.

1201
01:14:56,530 --> 01:14:58,690
And what you mean by that?

1202
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:04,260
All I wish is to relate something that
happened this afternoon.

1203
01:15:04,660 --> 01:15:09,260
Oh, when you were out riding your
beautiful thoroughbred mare, sure.

1204
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:14,520
Hope you didn't jump your proud beauty
over a fence into somebody's garden like

1205
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:15,520
you've done before.

1206
01:15:15,740 --> 01:15:17,280
Damn Yankee yokels.

1207
01:15:18,170 --> 01:15:22,330
should feel flattered that she deigns to
set her dainty hooves in their paltry

1208
01:15:22,330 --> 01:15:26,110
gardens. She's a truer, born-well-bred
lady than any other airwomen, and the

1209
01:15:26,110 --> 01:15:29,610
one who paid us a visit this morning,
for example. Mrs. Harford was enough of

1210
01:15:29,610 --> 01:15:33,410
a lady to make a fool out of you and put
you in your place. You are very simple

1211
01:15:33,410 --> 01:15:37,170
-minded, my dear, to let yourself be
taken in by such an obvious bit of

1212
01:15:37,170 --> 01:15:38,170
clever acting.

1213
01:15:38,410 --> 01:15:40,910
Naturally, the lady was a bit
discomposed when she heard you and your

1214
01:15:40,910 --> 01:15:43,190
mother coming after she just allowed me
to kiss her.

1215
01:15:43,550 --> 01:15:46,670
So she had to pretend, of course. He let
you kiss her.

1216
01:15:48,620 --> 01:15:49,620
It's a lie.

1217
01:15:50,620 --> 01:15:54,540
But I don't doubt you've made yourself
believe it's the truth. I'm going.

1218
01:15:57,980 --> 01:16:00,660
Why are you so jealous of the mayor, I
wonder?

1219
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:04,840
Is it because of his slender ankles and
dainty feet?

1220
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:12,160
Keep your ugly, rich, filthy peasant
paws off the table in my presence, if

1221
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:13,440
you please. They turn my stomach.

1222
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:16,320
I advise you never to let Simon Harper
get a good look at them.

1223
01:16:17,110 --> 01:16:18,110
Oh, devil!

1224
01:16:19,070 --> 01:16:22,370
I knew you... Oh, God, I'm sorry, Sarah.
I didn't mean that. It was the whiskey

1225
01:16:22,370 --> 01:16:23,510
talking. I'm sorry.

1226
01:16:28,130 --> 01:16:34,350
Are you going, my dear? I was about to
tell you of the talk I had with young

1227
01:16:34,350 --> 01:16:35,510
Harford this afternoon.

1228
01:16:37,770 --> 01:16:40,230
It was after I returned for my ride.

1229
01:16:43,020 --> 01:16:47,040
I cantered the mare by the river, but
she pulled up lame, so I dismounted and

1230
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:48,040
led her back.

1231
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:50,240
No one noticed when I returned.

1232
01:16:51,940 --> 01:16:55,040
When I went upstairs, it occurred to me
I would not again find such an

1233
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:58,180
opportunity to have a frank chat with
young Harford, free from interruption.

1234
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:02,440
I didn't beat about the bush. I told
him.

1235
01:17:03,060 --> 01:17:07,800
He must appreciate it was my duty as a
gentleman and as your father to demand

1236
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:09,600
that he lay his cards on the table.

1237
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:15,140
He said he must realize that even before
you began nursing him here and going

1238
01:17:15,140 --> 01:17:20,220
alone to his bedroom, there was a deal
of gossip about your visits in his cabin

1239
01:17:20,220 --> 01:17:21,960
and your walks through the woods with
him.

1240
01:17:22,480 --> 01:17:26,400
I put it to him that such an intimacy
could not continue without gravely

1241
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:27,680
compromising your reputation.

1242
01:17:28,140 --> 01:17:29,540
God help you.

1243
01:17:30,500 --> 01:17:31,560
What did he say?

1244
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:33,800
What could he say? He's a man of honor.

1245
01:17:34,180 --> 01:17:36,920
He looked damn embarrassed and guilty
for a minute.

1246
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,780
When he found his tongue, he admitted
that I was right most partly.

1247
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:43,680
He said his mother had told him the same
thing.

1248
01:17:43,980 --> 01:17:45,220
Oh, did she?

1249
01:17:46,220 --> 01:17:50,280
Well, I suppose she did that to find out
by watching him how far he... Well,

1250
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:51,280
naturally.

1251
01:17:51,700 --> 01:17:55,320
It was his mother. It was her duty as
his mother to discover all she could

1252
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:56,320
about you.

1253
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:59,260
She's the woman of the world. She was
bound to suspect you might be his

1254
01:17:59,260 --> 01:18:02,540
mistress. Oh, would she? Now, now,
that's beside the point.

1255
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:04,640
The point is...

1256
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:12,560
My bashful young gentleman finally
blurted out that he wanted to marry

1257
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:13,560
you.

1258
01:18:14,260 --> 01:18:16,800
He told you that? Yes, yes.

1259
01:18:17,620 --> 01:18:19,560
He said he told his mother, too.

1260
01:18:20,260 --> 01:18:22,620
She had said all she wanted was his
happiness.

1261
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:28,340
She felt in fairness to you and to
himself he should test his love by

1262
01:18:28,340 --> 01:18:32,000
letting a decent interval of time elapse
before the marriage she mentioned a

1263
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:33,000
year, I believe.

1264
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:36,360
Oh, didn't I think that would be her
trick?

1265
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:38,120
Trick?

1266
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:42,740
Mother, the reason she gave a sound,
they show a consideration for your good

1267
01:18:42,740 --> 01:18:47,760
name. She warned him a sudden wedding
would look damnably suspicious, start a

1268
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:48,780
lot of evil-minded gossip.

1269
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:52,820
She's clever, all right, but I'll beat
her.

1270
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:56,300
I told him I agreed with his mother.

1271
01:19:00,440 --> 01:19:01,440
Tell me this.

1272
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:04,440
Did she get him to promise her he'd
wait?

1273
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:10,200
I told him I appreciated the honor he
did me by asking for your hand, but I

1274
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:14,100
could not commit myself till I had
spoken to his father and was assured the

1275
01:19:14,100 --> 01:19:18,380
necessary financial arrangements could
be concluded to our mutual satisfaction

1276
01:19:18,380 --> 01:19:22,560
as the amount of your settlement to be
agreed upon, for example. Dream again.

1277
01:19:23,710 --> 01:19:28,670
I suppose it never occurred to you that
old Harford might not consider it an

1278
01:19:28,670 --> 01:19:30,950
honour to have his son marry your
daughter.

1279
01:19:32,170 --> 01:19:34,270
No, it has never occurred to me.

1280
01:19:34,810 --> 01:19:39,050
And if it had ever occurred to him, I'd
damn soon disabuse his mind. Who is he

1281
01:19:39,050 --> 01:19:40,930
but a money-grubbing trader?

1282
01:19:41,950 --> 01:19:46,010
I would remind him that I was born in a
castle. There was a time when I

1283
01:19:46,010 --> 01:19:49,990
possessed wealth and position and an
estate compared to which any Yankee

1284
01:19:49,990 --> 01:19:54,090
upstarts home in this country is a hovel
stuck up in a cabbage patch. I'd remind

1285
01:19:54,090 --> 01:19:56,310
him that you, my daughter, were born in
a castle.

1286
01:19:56,590 --> 01:19:58,270
Well, that's no more than the truth.

1287
01:19:58,550 --> 01:19:59,489
Yeah.

1288
01:19:59,490 --> 01:20:04,370
Oh, what crazy blather. I've had enough
of your... Wait a minute. Just a minute.

1289
01:20:06,390 --> 01:20:09,030
There was another reason why I told
Hofford I couldn't make a final

1290
01:20:09,030 --> 01:20:10,030
decision.

1291
01:20:10,300 --> 01:20:11,700
Well, I have been reflecting.

1292
01:20:12,780 --> 01:20:17,560
I've been watching you, examining your
conduct, without prejudice to you,

1293
01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:22,700
trying to be fair to you. Well, to be
brutally frank with you, my dear, all I

1294
01:20:22,700 --> 01:20:28,780
can see in you is a common, greedy,
scheming, cunning little peasant wench

1295
01:20:28,780 --> 01:20:33,260
who's only thought his money and who has
shamelessly thrown himself at a young

1296
01:20:33,260 --> 01:20:36,060
man's head because his family happens to
possess a little wealth and position.

1297
01:20:36,300 --> 01:20:37,300
It's a lie.

1298
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:42,200
I have about made up my mind to decline
for you, Simon Hartford.

1299
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:45,520
Request for your hand. Oh, you have,
have you?

1300
01:20:45,820 --> 01:20:50,280
As if I cared a damn what you... As a
gentleman, I feel I have a duty and

1301
01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:51,280
honor to Simon.

1302
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:56,040
Such a marriage would be a tragic
misalliance for him, and God knows I

1303
01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:58,280
know the sordid tragedy of such a union.

1304
01:20:58,500 --> 01:21:01,980
It's Mother that's had the tragedy. The
man who would be the ideal husband for

1305
01:21:01,980 --> 01:21:05,240
you from the standpoint of conduct and
character would be Mickey Malloy, my

1306
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:08,720
bartender, and I would be very happy to
give him my parental blessing. Let you

1307
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:11,960
stop now, Father. You and he would be
congenial together. You can match

1308
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:13,480
tongues, you and he.

1309
01:21:13,740 --> 01:21:18,400
He's a healthy animal. He'll give you a
raft of peasant brats to squeal and

1310
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:22,430
fight with on the pigs and the dirty
hovel of the floor. It's the hut in

1311
01:21:22,430 --> 01:21:25,750
which your father was raised and born
you're remembering, isn't it? Of course.

1312
01:21:25,890 --> 01:21:29,330
If you trick Harper into getting you
with child, I couldn't refuse my

1313
01:21:29,330 --> 01:21:31,930
consent. Oh, my God, even then.

1314
01:21:32,490 --> 01:21:37,450
If I remember my own experience, I'll be
damned if I could advise you to... You

1315
01:21:37,450 --> 01:21:39,170
drunken devil!

1316
01:21:44,610 --> 01:21:49,030
Well, I want to thank you for your kind,
fatherly advice on how to trick Simon.

1317
01:21:50,510 --> 01:21:55,270
I don't think I'll need it, but if the
worst ever comes to the worst, I promise

1318
01:21:55,270 --> 01:21:57,670
you I'll remember that my... That's all
I care to say to you.

1319
01:21:58,350 --> 01:22:00,190
Excuse me, I will join Corporal Cregan.

1320
01:22:05,110 --> 01:22:08,010
Sarah, there are things I said which I
regret even now.

1321
01:22:08,730 --> 01:22:11,330
That's what you can overlook.

1322
01:22:12,330 --> 01:22:15,330
Your mother knows it's the liquor
talking, not...

1323
01:22:16,110 --> 01:22:21,190
I must confess that owing to celebrating
the anniversary, my brains are somewhat

1324
01:22:21,190 --> 01:22:22,190
addled.

1325
01:22:45,450 --> 01:22:46,450
To the bitter end.

1326
01:22:47,610 --> 01:22:50,110
No weakening, so help me, God.

1327
01:22:52,770 --> 01:22:55,210
I have not loved the world, nor the
world me.

1328
01:22:55,970 --> 01:23:00,470
I have not flattered its rank breath,
nor bowed to its idolatry as a patient

1329
01:23:00,470 --> 01:23:03,290
knee. Come in, dammit!

1330
01:23:11,660 --> 01:23:15,080
When I called, I thought it was one of
the damn rip-raps mistaking a bar and

1331
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:16,100
bar. Pray be seated, sir.

1332
01:23:17,020 --> 01:23:18,220
Pardon again, sir.

1333
01:23:18,860 --> 01:23:22,240
We've been feasting late, which accounts
for the disarray. I will summon a

1334
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:25,820
servant to apply your pleasure. Thank
you, but I want nothing, sir.

1335
01:23:26,180 --> 01:23:31,120
I came here to seek a private interview
with the proprietor of this tavern by

1336
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:32,120
name Melody.

1337
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:35,040
Are you by any chance he? No, I am not.

1338
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:40,580
You wish to see Major Cornelius Melody,
one time of his majesty's seventh

1339
01:23:40,580 --> 01:23:43,800
dragoons, who served with honor under
the Duke of Wellington in Spain? I am

1340
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:45,520
he. Very well, sir.

1341
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:49,120
Major Melody. Who will I be honor of
addressing?

1342
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:01,300
Pretty young woman.

1343
01:24:01,660 --> 01:24:05,660
Is he your daughter, sir? I seem to
detect a resemblance. No, do I look...

1344
01:24:05,660 --> 01:24:09,160
like the man who would permit his
daughter to work as a waitress.

1345
01:24:10,740 --> 01:24:13,620
I'm still waiting for you to inform me
who you are and why you should wish to

1346
01:24:13,620 --> 01:24:14,438
see me.

1347
01:24:14,440 --> 01:24:15,580
My card, sir.

1348
01:24:20,500 --> 01:24:21,500
Nicholas Gadsby.

1349
01:24:22,540 --> 01:24:23,540
Attorney, hmm?

1350
01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:26,640
I have small liking for your profession,
sir.

1351
01:24:27,060 --> 01:24:30,560
I cannot imagine what business you can
have with me. The damn thieves of the

1352
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:33,540
law did their worst to me in Ireland
many years ago, so I really...

1353
01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:36,120
That is,

1354
01:24:37,420 --> 01:24:40,960
do you happen by any chance to represent
the father of young Simon Harford?

1355
01:24:41,340 --> 01:24:43,000
Then you were expecting.

1356
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:48,600
That makes things easier. We need not
beat about the bush.

1357
01:24:48,940 --> 01:24:51,940
I do represent Mr. Henry Harford, sir.

1358
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:56,280
Then accept my apologies, sir, for my
animadversions against your profession.

1359
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:58,000
I'm afraid I may be prejudiced.

1360
01:24:59,860 --> 01:25:05,560
In the army, were you... We suffered
more casualties from your attacks at

1361
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:09,640
home than the French ever inflicted.
Indeed, sir. But I must tell you, my

1362
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:10,920
time is short.

1363
01:25:11,220 --> 01:25:15,620
With your permission, we will proceed at
once to the matter in hand.

1364
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,740
I think I can hazard a guess as to what
that matter is. You've come about the

1365
01:25:18,740 --> 01:25:23,460
settlement. Exactly, sir. Mr. Harford
was of the opinion, and I agreed with

1366
01:25:23,460 --> 01:25:27,800
him, that a settlement would be foremost
in your mind. It does me honor, sir,

1367
01:25:27,900 --> 01:25:31,600
that Mr. Harford appreciates his dealing
with a gentleman, and he knows how these

1368
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:34,300
matters can be properly arranged. He has
that kind of breeding.

1369
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:41,320
I will be quite frank with you, sir. The
devil of it is, it comes at a very

1370
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:42,880
difficult time for me.

1371
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:47,380
Temporary, of course, but I cannot deny
that I'm pinched at the moment.

1372
01:25:47,440 --> 01:25:48,440
Definitely pinched.

1373
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:53,860
No matter. But my only child's happiness
is at stake. I'm prepared to do every

1374
01:25:53,860 --> 01:25:59,400
possible, every possible step. I will
sign my note at hand, no matter how

1375
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:02,620
ruinous the interest demanded by the
scoundrelly moneylender.

1376
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:07,780
By the way, what amount does Mr. Harford
think proper? Anything in reason?

1377
01:26:08,300 --> 01:26:12,400
I do not know what you are talking
about, sir.

1378
01:26:12,990 --> 01:26:17,110
Unless you think to make a fool of me,
if this is what is known as Irish wit...

1379
01:26:17,110 --> 01:26:18,550
I care not, sir. What's your word?

1380
01:26:20,010 --> 01:26:23,830
Since I'm making a fool of you, sir, I
would be the fool if I attempted to

1381
01:26:23,830 --> 01:26:27,270
improve on God's handiwork. I wish no
quarrel with you, sir.

1382
01:26:27,890 --> 01:26:34,150
I cannot for the life of me see... I
fear we're dealing at gross purposes.

1383
01:26:34,310 --> 01:26:39,190
Will you tell me plainly what you mean
by your talk of settlement?

1384
01:26:40,390 --> 01:26:42,710
Obviously, I mean the settlement I'm
prepared to make on my daughter.

1385
01:26:44,150 --> 01:26:47,610
Isn't your purpose in coming here to
arrange on Mr. Harford's behalf for the

1386
01:26:47,610 --> 01:26:49,070
marriage of his son with my daughter?

1387
01:26:49,690 --> 01:26:52,970
Marriage? Good God, no, nothing of the
kind.

1388
01:26:53,230 --> 01:26:57,170
Well, what have you come for, then? To
inform you, sir, that Mr. Henry Harford

1389
01:26:57,170 --> 01:27:02,870
is unalterably opposed to any further
relationship between his son and your

1390
01:27:02,870 --> 01:27:06,290
daughter, whatever the nature of that
relationship in the past.

1391
01:27:07,480 --> 01:27:12,480
If you dare to insinuate... I insinuate
nothing, sir.

1392
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:16,780
I am here on Mr. Harford's behalf to
make you an offer.

1393
01:27:17,460 --> 01:27:24,420
Mr. Harford is prepared to pay you the
sum of $3,000, provided, mark you,

1394
01:27:24,500 --> 01:27:29,320
that you and your daughter sign an
agreement which specifies that you

1395
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:32,480
relinquish all further claims of
whatever nature.

1396
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:38,060
And provided also that you agree to
leave this part of the country at once

1397
01:27:38,060 --> 01:27:44,240
with your family, Mr. Harford suggests
that it would be advisable that you go

1398
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:46,620
west to Ohio, say?

1399
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:49,500
So, Henry Harford.

1400
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:54,880
It does me the honor to suggest that,
does it? Well, Charlie, you could not

1401
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:57,700
have spoken seriously when you talked of
marriage.

1402
01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:00,660
There's such a different sensation.

1403
01:28:01,220 --> 01:28:05,400
But the idea's preposterous. If you knew
Mr. Hoffman, you would realize that he

1404
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:09,380
would never... Know him by the immortal.
I'll know him soon, and he'll know me.

1405
01:28:09,420 --> 01:28:10,900
But first, you Yankee. What?

1406
01:28:11,340 --> 01:28:14,040
No! Just give me a bank card!

1407
01:28:14,480 --> 01:28:16,460
You're surprised that you're dirty or
not?

1408
01:28:19,070 --> 01:28:20,610
You're right, sir. You're right.

1409
01:28:21,150 --> 01:28:25,410
It would be beneath me to soil my hands
on this vile lickspittle.

1410
01:28:25,730 --> 01:28:28,770
But you won't get away scot-free here,
Roshan. Get over here.

1411
01:28:29,090 --> 01:28:33,570
Here, you stunkard scoundrel. Take your
hands off me. You may tell the swindling

1412
01:28:33,570 --> 01:28:37,690
traitor Harford who employs you that he
will hear from me. Throw this thing out.

1413
01:28:51,690 --> 01:28:55,510
down the street. It's with his master I
have to deal and by the powers I'll deal

1414
01:28:55,510 --> 01:28:57,650
with him. You come with me, Jamie. I
want you for a witness.

1415
01:28:58,090 --> 01:28:59,750
He'll apologize to me.

1416
01:29:01,250 --> 01:29:04,550
More than that, he will come back here
this very minute and publicly apologize

1417
01:29:04,550 --> 01:29:11,510
to my daughter or he will meet me in the
morning. By God, I'll face him at

1418
01:29:11,510 --> 01:29:13,150
ten paces or across a handkerchief.

1419
01:29:13,390 --> 01:29:18,910
I'll put a bullet through his head. Shut
up, woman.

1420
01:29:31,950 --> 01:29:33,590
I didn't say that, Father.

1421
01:29:33,930 --> 01:29:35,490
But you're not in Ireland now.

1422
01:29:35,790 --> 01:29:40,910
You'll never be let see him. Old Harford
will never fight. Oh, he won't, won't

1423
01:29:40,910 --> 01:29:42,770
he? Well, by God, I'll make him.

1424
01:29:44,370 --> 01:29:48,490
I'll take a whip and drag him out of his
house. I'll lash him down the street for

1425
01:29:48,490 --> 01:29:51,650
all his neighbors to see. He'll
apologize or he'll fight.

1426
01:29:51,850 --> 01:29:54,290
Father, you'll never be let see him. His
servants will keep you out.

1427
01:29:54,940 --> 01:29:57,760
He'll have the police arrest you and
it'll be in the paper about another

1428
01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:01,200
drunken mick causing a crazy row. Tell
him. Tell him I'm telling the truth,

1429
01:30:01,440 --> 01:30:03,440
Jamie. Well, maybe Sarah is right,
Major.

1430
01:30:04,980 --> 01:30:07,320
Of course, if you become such a coward,
you're afraid to go.

1431
01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:08,520
Coward, is it?

1432
01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:10,880
I'll go be damned to you. Jamie, you
fool.

1433
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:14,220
Oh, it's like talking to two crazy men.

1434
01:30:15,060 --> 01:30:18,120
Father, for the love of God, don't do
it. Have I ever asked you for anything

1435
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:21,900
before? Well, you can ask me now. I'll
beg you on my knees. Anything you want.

1436
01:30:22,500 --> 01:30:24,700
Why, you've paid that lawyer for...

1437
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:28,320
Please, why can't you please? You talk
like a scheming peasant.

1438
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:30,480
It's a question of my honour.

1439
01:30:30,740 --> 01:30:33,080
No, it's a question of my happiness.

1440
01:30:33,540 --> 01:30:36,120
And I won't have your marriage
appearing.

1441
01:30:37,900 --> 01:30:39,420
Listen, father.

1442
01:30:40,340 --> 01:30:43,640
If you'll keep out of this, I'll show
you how I'll make a fool of old

1443
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:44,640
Hartford.

1444
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:49,420
Simon won't let anything his father does
keep him from marrying me. It's only his

1445
01:30:49,420 --> 01:30:51,920
mother who might have the influence over
him to come between us.

1446
01:30:52,300 --> 01:30:56,690
He's just waiting for an excuse to
turn... Simon against marrying me.

1447
01:30:57,470 --> 01:31:01,490
Can't you see what an excuse, what a
chance that will give me if you go

1448
01:31:01,490 --> 01:31:03,010
making a public row?

1449
01:31:03,330 --> 01:31:06,310
Insolent, insolent Yankee bitch. She's
all the more reason.

1450
01:31:06,910 --> 01:31:11,070
Marrying, you say. You dare think that
there can be any question now of

1451
01:31:11,070 --> 01:31:15,250
marrying the son of a man who has
insulted my honor and yours? Yes, I dare

1452
01:31:15,250 --> 01:31:16,148
to think it.

1453
01:31:16,150 --> 01:31:19,370
I love Simon and I'm going to marry him.
I say you're not.

1454
01:31:19,690 --> 01:31:21,710
I forbid you ever to see him again.

1455
01:31:21,990 --> 01:31:26,060
If you, if you defy me. Yes. For the
sake of that dirty money.

1456
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:32,820
I defy you. Or anyone who tries to come
between us. You filthy peasant slut, you

1457
01:31:32,820 --> 01:31:34,720
whore. I'll kill you first.

1458
01:31:36,220 --> 01:31:40,100
I've got to kill you. I've got to kill
you.

1459
01:31:41,980 --> 01:31:43,940
We're going after Harford, Major. We'd
better go.

1460
01:31:44,220 --> 01:31:45,900
That thief and the lawyer will warn him.

1461
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:48,560
Yes.

1462
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:50,180
Let's go, Jamie. Let's go.

1463
01:31:54,440 --> 01:31:55,620
We'll start a cup and we'll be off.

1464
01:31:56,300 --> 01:31:57,980
If the mayor wasn't lame, I'd ride
alone.

1465
01:31:58,500 --> 01:32:00,040
We can pick up a rigger that's stable.

1466
01:32:01,060 --> 01:32:03,420
Don't let me forget to stop at the barn
for a whip.

1467
01:32:03,900 --> 01:32:08,760
Father, you'll force me to go to Simon
and do what you said.

1468
01:32:10,220 --> 01:32:15,900
The army is back, Major, with the foe
flying in retreat.

1469
01:32:17,820 --> 01:32:18,820
Works himself.

1470
01:32:19,140 --> 01:32:21,200
I'll let her be. He'll be in the back.
Come on.

1471
01:32:21,440 --> 01:32:25,840
You should have seen the Yankee. The
coachman had to help him up into the rig

1472
01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:30,360
at the corner. And Roach gave the
coachman a clout on the head for good

1473
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:31,360
measure.

1474
01:32:34,060 --> 01:32:35,060
Sarah?

1475
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:37,440
Is Sarah worth himself?

1476
01:32:39,480 --> 01:32:41,060
I couldn't stop him.

1477
01:32:44,680 --> 01:32:47,080
Oh, it's like the old times come again.

1478
01:32:50,860 --> 01:32:51,860
in the chloro.

1479
01:32:53,900 --> 01:33:00,900
Even in them days before I'd done more
than speak a word to him or made

1480
01:33:00,900 --> 01:33:02,760
him a bow as he'd ride by in his hunter.

1481
01:33:04,960 --> 01:33:11,120
I used to lie awake at night and pray
for him when I'd hear he was fighting a

1482
01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:12,120
jolt in the morning.

1483
01:33:14,420 --> 01:33:16,220
I was in love with him even then.

1484
01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:23,260
But I'll not worry this time, and let
you not either.

1485
01:33:23,980 --> 01:33:27,240
There wasn't a man in gangway with
Ezekiel with a pistol.

1486
01:33:27,700 --> 01:33:31,020
And what chance did this old stick of a
Yankee have with him?

1487
01:33:32,980 --> 01:33:36,520
That's him! Leave him! Go on! Die!
Don't!

1488
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:43,340
What's that, God?

1489
01:33:45,940 --> 01:33:46,940
No good.

1490
01:33:49,840 --> 01:33:51,940
Well, let him go his way and I'll go
mine.

1491
01:33:53,260 --> 01:33:58,440
I won't let his madness destroy my life,
not after the dreams I've dreamed,

1492
01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:01,320
plans I've made.

1493
01:34:03,740 --> 01:34:09,140
I'll show him I can play at the game of
gentleman's honor, too.

1494
01:34:12,420 --> 01:34:14,500
I'm going upstairs to bed, Mother.

1495
01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:16,500
To bed, it is.

1496
01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:24,120
I didn't say sleep, but I can try and
rest. I'm dead tired, Mother.

1497
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:26,880
Oh, you must be, Darren.

1498
01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:30,740
It's been the devil's own day for you,
though.

1499
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:39,640
Oh, forgive me, Darren. I was forgetting
about you and young Hartford.

1500
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:43,180
Oh, God, help us.

1501
01:34:46,700 --> 01:34:47,700
Never mind.

1502
01:34:48,140 --> 01:34:53,400
If it's true love between you, you'll
not let a duel or anything else keep you

1503
01:34:53,400 --> 01:34:54,820
from each other, whatever the cost.

1504
01:34:55,660 --> 01:34:56,660
Don't I know?

1505
01:35:00,180 --> 01:35:02,300
You'll stay down here and wait up,
Mother?

1506
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:07,520
I'd be destroyed with worry lying down
in the dark.

1507
01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:11,360
The noise of them in the bar keeps
something spiraling away.

1508
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:13,080
Yes.

1509
01:35:13,740 --> 01:35:15,400
You'd better wait down here.

1510
01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:18,800
Good night, Mother.

1511
01:35:18,900 --> 01:35:22,300
Good night, John.

1512
01:36:10,390 --> 01:36:11,390
Sure a bit.

1513
01:36:11,850 --> 01:36:13,810
Oh, don't be worrying now.

1514
01:36:14,270 --> 01:36:15,550
Sure, it's not so late yet.

1515
01:36:15,990 --> 01:36:21,010
I come in to see how you are, and bring
a taste to put heart in you.

1516
01:36:21,390 --> 01:36:27,290
Oh, I know, I know you don't indulge,
but I've known you once in a while, and

1517
01:36:27,290 --> 01:36:28,290
you need it this night.

1518
01:36:29,150 --> 01:36:30,430
Now, come now, don't be stubborn.

1519
01:36:31,090 --> 01:36:35,770
I'm the doctor, and I highly recommend a
drop to drive out black thoughts and

1520
01:36:35,770 --> 01:36:36,770
rheumatism.

1521
01:36:42,250 --> 01:36:43,250
A taste only.

1522
01:36:43,750 --> 01:36:44,930
That's the talk.

1523
01:36:45,710 --> 01:36:46,710
Now drink, Artie.

1524
01:36:50,810 --> 01:36:53,370
Oh, I've no taste for anything.

1525
01:36:54,790 --> 01:36:56,310
But I thank you for the thought.

1526
01:36:57,570 --> 01:36:58,690
You're a good lad, Mickey.

1527
01:36:58,930 --> 01:36:59,950
Here's news to cheer you.

1528
01:37:00,470 --> 01:37:04,110
The word got round among the boy. And
they've all come in to wait for Craig

1529
01:37:04,110 --> 01:37:04,789
and himself.

1530
01:37:04,790 --> 01:37:07,810
There'll be more money taken over the
bar than any night since this has been

1531
01:37:07,810 --> 01:37:08,810
started.

1532
01:37:09,070 --> 01:37:11,090
Ah, if they do hate Conmelody, he's
Irish.

1533
01:37:11,390 --> 01:37:12,710
And I hate the Yanks worse.

1534
01:37:13,030 --> 01:37:17,030
They're all hoping he's paid the living
lights of the Harford. So they have, I

1535
01:37:17,030 --> 01:37:18,910
know. Ah, that's the thought.

1536
01:37:19,910 --> 01:37:22,170
I'm glad to see you roused from your
worrying.

1537
01:37:24,250 --> 01:37:27,490
Well, I... I'd better get back.

1538
01:37:31,050 --> 01:37:33,730
I left O'Dowd to ten bar.

1539
01:37:34,250 --> 01:37:36,370
And I'll wager he's three drinks stolen
already.

1540
01:37:38,460 --> 01:37:39,520
Sarah's not been down?

1541
01:37:39,740 --> 01:37:43,380
No. Well, you'd think she'd have more
talk for you than leave you to sit up

1542
01:37:43,380 --> 01:37:45,180
alone. I made her go to bed.

1543
01:37:46,500 --> 01:37:49,900
She was destroyed with tiredness and
sick with worry.

1544
01:37:50,460 --> 01:37:54,480
She must have fallen asleep like the
young calf. And none of your talk

1545
01:37:54,480 --> 01:37:56,020
against Sarah now. The devil take her.

1546
01:37:58,340 --> 01:38:00,140
There's no baiting you, Nora.

1547
01:38:01,260 --> 01:38:04,420
Sure, it'd be the joy of me life to have
a mother like you to fight for me.

1548
01:38:05,260 --> 01:38:06,260
Or better still.

1549
01:38:06,860 --> 01:38:07,880
A wife like you.

1550
01:38:08,420 --> 01:38:14,060
Oh, thank you, darling, for the young
girl. The devil take the young girls.

1551
01:38:15,220 --> 01:38:17,800
You're worth a hundred of them. Get
along with you.

1552
01:38:42,220 --> 01:38:43,220
Oh, darling, it's you.

1553
01:38:44,500 --> 01:38:46,300
Proud of me of coming last there.

1554
01:38:46,820 --> 01:38:50,020
Sick of worry I got to the point where I
can't stand waiting alone.

1555
01:38:51,020 --> 01:38:53,720
Just under drugs, dancing, celebrating.

1556
01:38:54,160 --> 01:38:55,160
It's cruel, it is.

1557
01:38:56,860 --> 01:39:00,580
There's no heart or thought for himself
and devil or one of them. And don't tell

1558
01:39:00,580 --> 01:39:01,580
me not to worry.

1559
01:39:01,780 --> 01:39:03,000
You're as bad as Mickey.

1560
01:39:05,540 --> 01:39:09,220
I think he didn't apologise. Your
father'd have been back here long since.

1561
01:39:10,890 --> 01:39:12,150
It's a duel for certain.

1562
01:39:14,030 --> 01:39:19,010
He must have taken a room in the city to
be near the ground. I hope he'll sleep.

1563
01:39:20,510 --> 01:39:25,670
But I'm afraid he'll stay up drinking
and at dawn he'll have had too much to

1564
01:39:25,670 --> 01:39:26,710
shoot his best maybe.

1565
01:39:28,330 --> 01:39:29,870
Will you let go of me?

1566
01:39:30,810 --> 01:39:32,910
You've hardened yourself not to care.

1567
01:39:34,410 --> 01:39:35,690
I'd rather stay alone.

1568
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:40,120
Oh, no, no, excuse me.

1569
01:39:41,100 --> 01:39:42,140
Sit down, darling.

1570
01:39:51,260 --> 01:39:55,280
Oh, if he didn't, Betty, why hasn't he
sent Jamie Craig or someone back with

1571
01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:56,280
word from me?

1572
01:39:56,340 --> 01:39:59,780
He knows well I'd be tormented with
waiting.

1573
01:40:00,140 --> 01:40:03,140
Oh, don't talk like a loon.

1574
01:40:04,140 --> 01:40:07,260
I'm going to say I've required for
anyone but himself and his pride.

1575
01:40:09,550 --> 01:40:13,810
He never stopped to think of me. The
grand gentleman and his red livery of

1576
01:40:13,810 --> 01:40:14,810
bloody England.

1577
01:40:15,230 --> 01:40:16,710
His pride indeed.

1578
01:40:16,930 --> 01:40:18,850
What is it? But a lie.

1579
01:40:19,950 --> 01:40:24,870
What's in his veins? God pity him. But
the blood of thieving old Ned Melody who

1580
01:40:24,870 --> 01:40:26,290
kept a dirty shebane.

1581
01:40:27,850 --> 01:40:29,030
Oh no.

1582
01:40:30,570 --> 01:40:32,810
I won't say it. I'll never.

1583
01:40:35,010 --> 01:40:37,210
Break his heart if he heard me.

1584
01:40:38,570 --> 01:40:45,070
All the same, I won't stay here,
worrying me heart out about a man who...

1585
01:40:45,070 --> 01:40:52,030
Oh, it isn't only fear over the jewel.

1586
01:40:56,190 --> 01:41:02,870
It's because I'm afraid of God's
punishment and

1587
01:41:02,870 --> 01:41:05,470
all the sorrow and trouble that's come
on us.

1588
01:41:08,540 --> 01:41:10,640
I got the black torment in me mind.

1589
01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:16,000
And it's the fault of my mortal sin I
did with him unmarried.

1590
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:23,880
And the promise he made me make to leave
the church, it's kept me from ever

1591
01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:25,300
confessing to the priest.

1592
01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:35,560
Go to a doctor, you say, to cure
rheumatism.

1593
01:41:39,790 --> 01:41:41,490
It's the pain of guilt in me soul.

1594
01:41:42,490 --> 01:41:44,750
Can a doctor's medicine cure that?

1595
01:41:46,630 --> 01:41:47,630
No.

1596
01:41:49,910 --> 01:41:51,970
Only a priest to God Almighty.

1597
01:41:56,290 --> 01:42:03,070
Joseph Conrad, if I took a chance now,
broke my promise and woke the priest to

1598
01:42:03,070 --> 01:42:06,290
hear my confession, hopefully I had the
courage.

1599
01:42:11,370 --> 01:42:12,370
I'll do it.

1600
01:42:14,770 --> 01:42:15,770
No, I wouldn't.

1601
01:42:17,650 --> 01:42:18,970
I'll call the police, then.

1602
01:42:23,270 --> 01:42:25,350
Well, why don't you go, Mother?

1603
01:42:25,590 --> 01:42:26,770
Ain't I gone?

1604
01:42:37,170 --> 01:42:39,390
God forgive me, I can't.

1605
01:42:40,590 --> 01:42:41,770
What's the use of pretending?

1606
01:42:42,870 --> 01:42:43,870
No use.

1607
01:42:44,590 --> 01:42:46,030
I've learned about that.

1608
01:42:46,930 --> 01:42:51,090
He'd feel I'd betrayed him, and my word
and my love for him.

1609
01:42:53,210 --> 01:42:58,510
He knows well, for all his scorn, that
my love is all he has in the world to

1610
01:42:58,510 --> 01:42:59,510
comfort him.

1611
01:43:01,330 --> 01:43:04,590
And it's my honour, too. It's not for
his sake, it's all.

1612
01:43:05,730 --> 01:43:06,730
Devourment him.

1613
01:43:06,850 --> 01:43:09,630
You always preach as if he had all the
honour there is.

1614
01:43:10,280 --> 01:43:12,740
But I've mine too, as proud as his.

1615
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:14,000
Yes.

1616
01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:17,360
The honor of her love to a woman.

1617
01:43:18,680 --> 01:43:20,660
I've learned about that too, Mother.

1618
01:43:21,100 --> 01:43:23,320
Oh, you've found your tongue, have you?

1619
01:43:24,540 --> 01:43:25,540
Thank God.

1620
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:31,640
The cold comfort of sitting here silent
like a statue and me talking to myself.

1621
01:43:34,660 --> 01:43:37,140
Moshe, but it's pleased and pretty you
look.

1622
01:43:38,480 --> 01:43:42,440
If you hadn't a care in the world for
your poor father... Oh, Mother, I know

1623
01:43:42,440 --> 01:43:46,360
it's no use telling you that there won't
be any duel, but maybe you'll take

1624
01:43:46,360 --> 01:43:48,420
Simon's word for it if you won't take
mine.

1625
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:53,000
He said his father would be paralysed
with indignation at the thought he'd

1626
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:54,620
fight a duel. It's against the law.

1627
01:43:55,920 --> 01:43:58,500
Well, if the young lad said that, maybe
it's true.

1628
01:43:58,760 --> 01:44:00,280
Of course it's true, Mother.

1629
01:44:00,740 --> 01:44:04,260
Your father'd be satisfied with half his
apology and that's ended.

1630
01:44:04,960 --> 01:44:08,980
And you think what's kept him out is he
and Jamie had a pour of drinks to

1631
01:44:08,980 --> 01:44:12,220
celebrate? Oh, well, they'd drink for
sure, whatever happened.

1632
01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:15,600
All that doesn't matter now, Mother.

1633
01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:19,420
Gee, what a queer way of talking, as if
you'd been asleep and were still having

1634
01:44:19,420 --> 01:44:20,420
a dream.

1635
01:44:21,020 --> 01:44:26,320
It's a dream that's true, Mother, and
always will be till the end of life, and

1636
01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:29,540
I'll never wake from it. Sure, what's
come over you, Tor?

1637
01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:31,720
Joy.

1638
01:44:32,780 --> 01:44:34,460
That's what's come over me. I'm happy.

1639
01:44:35,420 --> 01:44:41,080
I'm happy because I know now Simon is
mine and no one can take him from me.

1640
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:43,100
Oh, God, I'm afraid.

1641
01:44:44,900 --> 01:44:49,680
The great sorrow tormenting me that the
steward would come between us. I was a

1642
01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:52,980
great fool to think that Simon's mother
could turn him against me.

1643
01:44:53,320 --> 01:44:54,740
Have you had a talk with her?

1644
01:44:54,960 --> 01:44:55,960
I have.

1645
01:44:56,080 --> 01:44:57,220
That's where I've been.

1646
01:44:57,800 --> 01:44:59,740
But then there's rumor that she went
home.

1647
01:45:00,160 --> 01:45:01,160
Almost.

1648
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:05,220
Took me a little while to get up my
courage after I got upstairs.

1649
01:45:05,640 --> 01:45:06,840
Time the dead a night.

1650
01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:09,540
And it's nice, don't I? I have a right.

1651
01:45:09,800 --> 01:45:10,800
Oh, excuse me.

1652
01:45:11,060 --> 01:45:14,560
Were you the way you are? You're only
your nightgown and wrapper. I was.

1653
01:45:15,460 --> 01:45:18,900
And Simon likes my costume, if you
don't.

1654
01:45:19,660 --> 01:45:23,860
Although he got as red as a beet when I
came in. Small wonder he did.

1655
01:45:24,280 --> 01:45:25,280
Shame on you.

1656
01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:28,140
He was trying to read a book of poetry
and he couldn't.

1657
01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:29,780
He was that worried.

1658
01:45:30,300 --> 01:45:34,040
Hoping I'd come to say goodnight and
being afraid I wouldn't. Oh, Mother, it

1659
01:45:34,040 --> 01:45:36,020
was the cutest thing I've ever done.

1660
01:45:36,240 --> 01:45:38,060
Not to see him since his mother left.

1661
01:45:38,300 --> 01:45:43,520
He kept worrying and hoping I'd come.
And when I didn't, he got scared to

1662
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:46,560
death that his kissing me this morning
had made me angry.

1663
01:45:47,040 --> 01:45:52,380
So he was wild with joy to see me. In
your bare legs with only your nightgown

1664
01:45:52,380 --> 01:45:55,120
and wrapper to cover your nakedness.
Where's your modesty?

1665
01:45:56,120 --> 01:45:57,380
I had it with me.

1666
01:45:58,240 --> 01:46:03,300
Although I tried hard to leave it
behind, I got as red as he was.

1667
01:46:04,280 --> 01:46:08,980
Isn't that a great joke on me, Mother?
Here I've gone to his room with my mind

1668
01:46:08,980 --> 01:46:14,840
made up to be as bold as any street
woman and tempt him because I knew his

1669
01:46:14,840 --> 01:46:21,160
honour would make him marry me right
away if... And all I could do was stand

1670
01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:23,060
and gape at him and blush.

1671
01:46:25,840 --> 01:46:28,260
Oh, well, I'm glad you had the decency
to push.

1672
01:46:30,380 --> 01:46:31,740
Simon spoke first.

1673
01:46:32,360 --> 01:46:35,780
And once he'd started, everything he'd
been holding back came out.

1674
01:46:36,140 --> 01:46:39,760
The waiting for me and the fear made him
forget his shyness.

1675
01:46:40,540 --> 01:46:41,860
And he said he loved me.

1676
01:46:42,460 --> 01:46:44,880
And he asked me to marry him as soon as
I could.

1677
01:46:45,300 --> 01:46:52,300
Without knowing how it happened there, I
was with my arms around

1678
01:46:52,300 --> 01:46:54,920
him and his around me and my lips on
his.

1679
01:46:55,610 --> 01:46:56,930
And it was heaven, Mother.

1680
01:46:57,290 --> 01:47:04,230
Then I was crying, telling him how
scared I was his mother hated me.

1681
01:47:04,570 --> 01:47:08,570
And the father's madness with the duel
would give her a chance to come between

1682
01:47:08,570 --> 01:47:12,490
us. And he said no one could ever come
between us.

1683
01:47:13,250 --> 01:47:18,650
And that I was foolish to think his
mother wouldn't be anything but amused.

1684
01:47:19,490 --> 01:47:24,070
That it would be a great joke on his
father after he'd been so sure he could

1685
01:47:24,070 --> 01:47:25,070
buy us off.

1686
01:47:25,340 --> 01:47:28,400
If he had to call the police to save
him. The police?

1687
01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:30,720
Yes, sir. The dirty coward.

1688
01:47:31,280 --> 01:47:34,180
I've gone melody curse for police and
I'm in a rage.

1689
01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:37,380
And Simon told me how scared he'd been.

1690
01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:39,060
That I didn't love him.

1691
01:47:39,580 --> 01:47:43,140
And that I wouldn't marry him and that
he was a failure because he... He

1692
01:47:43,140 --> 01:47:44,780
couldn't be what he wanted to be, a
poet.

1693
01:47:45,480 --> 01:47:50,400
So I kissed him, and I said he was to a
poet, and that he always would be, and

1694
01:47:50,400 --> 01:47:54,220
it was what I loved most about him. Just
let one of them put his dirty on and con

1695
01:47:54,220 --> 01:47:57,120
melody. He'll knock him senseless with
one blow.

1696
01:47:57,360 --> 01:48:01,640
And Simon told me how poor he was, and
that he'd never accept a penny from his

1697
01:48:01,640 --> 01:48:04,800
father, even if he offered it, and I
told him, never mind.

1698
01:48:05,360 --> 01:48:10,540
But if we had to live in a hut, or sleep
in the grass of a field without a roof

1699
01:48:10,540 --> 01:48:13,240
to our head, and work our fingers to the
bone...

1700
01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:18,820
or starve itself, I'd be in heaven and
sing with the joy of our love. And I

1701
01:48:18,820 --> 01:48:22,080
meant it, Mother. I meant every word of
it from the bottom of my heart.

1702
01:48:22,200 --> 01:48:25,860
Torshita, darling, isn't that a great
joke on me?

1703
01:48:26,340 --> 01:48:30,460
All my crazy dreams of riches and a
grand estate.

1704
01:48:31,960 --> 01:48:33,160
You were right, Mother.

1705
01:48:33,920 --> 01:48:39,520
I know nothing of love and the pride a
woman can take in giving everything.

1706
01:48:40,270 --> 01:48:41,750
Pride in her own love.

1707
01:48:42,110 --> 01:48:43,570
Oh, I'm sure you do, darling.

1708
01:48:43,790 --> 01:48:46,010
You just let the police try it.

1709
01:48:46,370 --> 01:48:49,690
We'll whoop them back to their kennels,
that dirty curse.

1710
01:48:49,970 --> 01:48:51,090
And then we put out the light.

1711
01:48:51,930 --> 01:48:56,730
And Simon forgot whatever shyness he had
left in the dark.

1712
01:48:57,770 --> 01:49:01,650
And he said he meant all the bold things
he'd written in the poems I'd read.

1713
01:49:02,730 --> 01:49:05,950
I confessed to him that I was up to
every scheme to get him.

1714
01:49:07,630 --> 01:49:12,110
And all the time we were kissing each
other, wild with happiness, and then...

1715
01:49:12,110 --> 01:49:13,110
I know, Jordan.

1716
01:49:15,890 --> 01:49:17,010
You know, Mother?

1717
01:49:20,290 --> 01:49:21,310
I know what?

1718
01:49:23,750 --> 01:49:24,770
What are you saying?

1719
01:49:28,050 --> 01:49:29,070
Look up at me.

1720
01:49:30,350 --> 01:49:31,690
I can see.

1721
01:49:32,630 --> 01:49:39,250
You let him. You let him. There was no
letting about it. Only love making

1722
01:49:39,250 --> 01:49:41,370
the two of us. Ain't you ashamed to
boast?

1723
01:49:41,650 --> 01:49:43,610
No. Well, you know I'm not.

1724
01:49:44,290 --> 01:49:48,430
Ashamed? There was no shame in it.
Haven't you told me of the pride you had

1725
01:49:48,430 --> 01:49:50,190
in your love? Were you ashamed?

1726
01:49:50,510 --> 01:49:53,910
I was. I was dead ashamed. You were not.
You were proud like me. I'm a mortal.

1727
01:49:53,950 --> 01:49:55,970
And God will punish you. Oh, let him.

1728
01:49:56,380 --> 01:50:00,500
If he were to say to me, for every time
you kiss Simon, you'll spend a thousand

1729
01:50:00,500 --> 01:50:05,440
years in hell, I wouldn't care. I'd wear
out my lips kissing him. But no, he may

1730
01:50:05,440 --> 01:50:07,300
hear you. Wouldn't you have said the
same?

1731
01:50:07,640 --> 01:50:11,940
Oh, don't be, don't, don't make me with
your simple questions. I won't answer.

1732
01:50:12,060 --> 01:50:14,820
Oh, all right. All right, Mother. All
right.

1733
01:50:15,460 --> 01:50:16,460
All right.

1734
01:50:17,720 --> 01:50:18,720
Forgive me.

1735
01:50:32,520 --> 01:50:34,100
who was guilty and repentant.

1736
01:50:34,780 --> 01:50:39,600
If he'd had his way, we'd be up out of
bed now, and the two of us walking

1737
01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:43,340
around in the dead of night trying to
wake up someone who could marry us.

1738
01:50:44,660 --> 01:50:51,620
But I was so mad with love, I'd lost all
care or thought of marriage.

1739
01:50:53,460 --> 01:50:57,180
It got to the point where all you know
or think about is that you belong to

1740
01:50:57,180 --> 01:50:58,180
love.

1741
01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:02,040
You were right, Mother.

1742
01:51:10,760 --> 01:51:13,500
I always knew you were the sweetest
woman in the world.

1743
01:51:14,480 --> 01:51:18,700
But I never suspected you were a wise
woman, too, until I knew the truth of

1744
01:51:18,700 --> 01:51:19,720
what you said tonight.

1745
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:26,440
That a woman can forgive whatever the
man she loves could do and love him

1746
01:51:26,440 --> 01:51:27,440
still.

1747
01:51:28,240 --> 01:51:30,980
Because it's through him she found the
love in herself.

1748
01:51:34,780 --> 01:51:36,980
It's love, slaves, we are.

1749
01:51:37,600 --> 01:51:38,780
Not men's.

1750
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:43,440
Wouldn't it shame their boasting and
vanity?

1751
01:51:43,820 --> 01:51:45,660
We let them know our secret.

1752
01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:50,620
I'm glad Simon can't hear me.

1753
01:51:57,710 --> 01:52:02,810
I can even understand now, a little
anyway, how you can still love father

1754
01:52:02,810 --> 01:52:06,150
and be proud of it. Gosh. Oh,

1755
01:52:09,270 --> 01:52:14,570
for the love of God, Sarah, where is he?

1756
01:52:14,830 --> 01:52:18,850
Why doesn't he come? What's happened to
him? Mother, don't be a fool. Nothing's

1757
01:52:18,850 --> 01:52:19,850
happened to him.

1758
01:52:20,520 --> 01:52:24,520
Except he's made a mass of himself for
Simon's mother to sneer at. Oh, he'll

1759
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:28,560
come home as drunk as two lords,
boasting of his glorious victory over

1760
01:52:28,560 --> 01:52:31,080
old Tarthas, no matter what the truth
is.

1761
01:52:31,420 --> 01:52:32,420
Jamie!

1762
01:52:36,740 --> 01:52:38,960
Please be to the sense you're back.

1763
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:40,240
Jamie,

1764
01:52:40,360 --> 01:52:41,339
where's your sense?

1765
01:52:41,340 --> 01:52:42,820
I got him in a rig outside.

1766
01:52:43,700 --> 01:52:46,580
I had to make sure no one was here. I'll
bring him in.

1767
01:52:53,580 --> 01:52:54,720
Did you see Jamie's face?

1768
01:52:55,200 --> 01:52:56,560
They've been fighting terribly.

1769
01:52:57,120 --> 01:52:58,340
Oh, sir, I'm afraid.

1770
01:52:58,860 --> 01:53:03,420
Afraid of what? Well, I told you, a
crazy row, and now he's paralysed. Oh,

1771
01:53:03,640 --> 01:53:04,640
come on, darling.

1772
01:53:04,720 --> 01:53:05,720
Are you hurt or sad?

1773
01:53:06,040 --> 01:53:07,320
Come on, don't you know me?

1774
01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:09,980
Oh, God help us!

1775
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:14,080
Look at his head! Mama, be quiet. Do you
want them in the bar to know he's come

1776
01:53:14,080 --> 01:53:16,880
home this way? Oh, that's it, Sarah.
We've got to rouse him first.

1777
01:53:17,100 --> 01:53:19,400
His pride will never forgive us if we
let them see him.

1778
01:53:19,690 --> 01:53:23,270
Dead beat like this. He's drunk. That's
all it is, isn't it, Jamie? No, he is

1779
01:53:23,270 --> 01:53:25,450
not. He's not taken a drop since we left
here.

1780
01:53:26,330 --> 01:53:28,970
It's them clouts on the head he got.
That's what ails him.

1781
01:53:29,550 --> 01:53:32,670
Taste of the whiskey would bring him
back if only he'd take it, but he won't.

1782
01:53:32,710 --> 01:53:34,650
He won't? Yeah, try and wake him.

1783
01:53:34,850 --> 01:53:35,850
Yeah.

1784
01:53:37,050 --> 01:53:39,030
Here now, Major, drink this.

1785
01:53:39,930 --> 01:53:41,150
You'll be right as rain.

1786
01:53:43,270 --> 01:53:44,270
He won't, see?

1787
01:53:45,150 --> 01:53:48,010
That's the way he's been all the way
back when I tried to persuade him.

1788
01:53:49,130 --> 01:53:52,690
Well, if he won't, I will by your leave.
I'm needing it bad.

1789
01:53:55,190 --> 01:53:57,190
It's the devil's own rampage we have.

1790
01:53:57,610 --> 01:54:01,890
From your looks, it must have been.
You're taking it cool enough. And you've

1791
01:54:01,890 --> 01:54:03,190
seen the marks of the beating we got.

1792
01:54:03,570 --> 01:54:06,910
If we're marked, there's others is
marked worse.

1793
01:54:07,230 --> 01:54:13,130
And some of them is the police. God be
praised, the dirty coward. Be quiet.

1794
01:54:13,370 --> 01:54:14,690
Tell us what happened, Jamie.

1795
01:54:15,030 --> 01:54:16,270
Fakes what didn't happen.

1796
01:54:17,150 --> 01:54:18,410
We're the Rocket Castle.

1797
01:54:18,960 --> 01:54:21,580
I've never engaged in a livelier shimmy.

1798
01:54:23,140 --> 01:54:28,600
We had no trouble finding where Harford
lived. That's a grand mansion with a big

1799
01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:29,660
walled garden behind.

1800
01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:32,180
And we went to the front door.

1801
01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:34,320
Flunky and livery answered.

1802
01:54:34,600 --> 01:54:38,160
With two others behind. Big black nigger
was one.

1803
01:54:38,440 --> 01:54:40,000
That pig of a lawyer.

1804
01:54:40,280 --> 01:54:42,380
He must have warned Harford to expect
us.

1805
01:54:42,720 --> 01:54:43,720
Anyway, calm.

1806
01:54:44,040 --> 01:54:46,000
We spoke with the ears of a lord.

1807
01:54:47,230 --> 01:54:52,470
Kindly inform your master, says he, that
Major Cornelius Melody, late of His

1808
01:54:52,470 --> 01:54:56,450
Majesty's Seventh Dragoons, respectfully
requests a word with him.

1809
01:54:56,830 --> 01:54:59,850
The flunky. He puts an insolent sneer on
him.

1810
01:55:00,110 --> 01:55:02,990
Mr. Harford won't see you, says he.

1811
01:55:03,250 --> 01:55:06,450
I could see Con's rage rising, but he
kept polite.

1812
01:55:07,090 --> 01:55:12,550
You tell him, says he, if he knows
what's good for him. You see me.

1813
01:55:12,850 --> 01:55:17,080
If he don't... I'll come in and see him.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

1814
01:55:17,420 --> 01:55:20,180
Oh, you will, says the flunky.

1815
01:55:20,500 --> 01:55:22,220
I'll have you know, Mr.

1816
01:55:22,480 --> 01:55:27,300
Harford don't allow drunken mix to come
around here disturbing him. Anyway, says

1817
01:55:27,300 --> 01:55:31,320
he, the police has been informed. If
there's any trouble, you'll be arrested.

1818
01:55:31,880 --> 01:55:35,720
And anyway, says he, you've come to the
wrong door. The place for the likes of

1819
01:55:35,720 --> 01:55:40,480
you... It's the servants' entrance. You
let old Harford's servants insult you.

1820
01:55:40,540 --> 01:55:44,780
Well, I warned you. Let them be down.
You keep your mouth shut now and let me

1821
01:55:44,780 --> 01:55:46,200
tell it. You'll see if we let them.

1822
01:55:46,500 --> 01:55:52,020
Now, when he says that, Flunky, he tried
to slam the door in our face, but Con

1823
01:55:52,020 --> 01:55:55,920
was too quick. He pushed it back on him,
leapt into the hall, roaring mad, and

1824
01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:59,440
hit that Flunky, cut with his whip
across his ugly mouth, sent him

1825
01:55:59,440 --> 01:56:02,860
screaming like a stuck pig. God for you,
Condor. Mother, hush.

1826
01:56:03,470 --> 01:56:08,050
The famous duelist in a drunken brawl
with butlers and coachmen.

1827
01:56:08,370 --> 01:56:12,210
Now, shut your mouth, Sarah, and don't
be trying to plague him. And don't you

1828
01:56:12,210 --> 01:56:17,770
be putting on fine airs about fighting.
And use the whole cause of it. That's a

1829
01:56:17,770 --> 01:56:19,870
lie. I... Wait till you hear, Nora.

1830
01:56:20,270 --> 01:56:26,390
The nigger, he took me a clout, had me
head dizzy. He had me down on a con.

1831
01:56:26,950 --> 01:56:31,210
Broke the butt of his whip across his
black skull, sent him to his knees.

1832
01:56:31,450 --> 01:56:32,630
The third man...

1833
01:56:32,880 --> 01:56:36,120
He punches Con. I give him a kick where
I do him the least good. He goes rolling

1834
01:56:36,120 --> 01:56:38,760
on the floor, grabbing his guts. Be the
saints.

1835
01:56:38,980 --> 01:56:43,120
We had the three of them licked, and
we'd have dragged old Harford from his

1836
01:56:43,120 --> 01:56:47,080
den and tanned his Yankee hide if the
police hadn't caught him. Out of the

1837
01:56:47,080 --> 01:56:51,340
dirty cowards. I was hiding against the
rich, with the rich shags against the

1838
01:56:51,340 --> 01:56:55,640
poor Irish. Can't you be still, Mother?
Four of them, with clubs, come behind

1839
01:56:55,640 --> 01:56:59,580
us. And before we knew it, they grabbed
us and dragged us in the street.

1840
01:57:00,120 --> 01:57:04,580
Khan broke away, hit the one that held
him. I gave another a knee in the belly,

1841
01:57:04,640 --> 01:57:06,320
and then, big glory, there was a fight.

1842
01:57:06,700 --> 01:57:09,000
Oh, it would have done your heart good
to see himself.

1843
01:57:09,920 --> 01:57:14,900
He was worth any two men, letting out
left and right, roaring with rage,

1844
01:57:15,020 --> 01:57:19,700
cursing like a trooper. Bravely done,
Major Melody. A commander of the forces

1845
01:57:19,700 --> 01:57:22,940
commends your exceptional gallantry.

1846
01:57:24,190 --> 01:57:29,190
Like the field of Talavera, like the
charge on the French square.

1847
01:57:31,490 --> 01:57:38,290
Cursing like a drunken foul-mouthed son
of a thieving

1848
01:57:38,290 --> 01:57:40,010
Shabine keeper.

1849
01:57:40,530 --> 01:57:45,510
I sprang from the filth of a peasant
hubble with pigs on the floor.

1850
01:57:46,610 --> 01:57:52,770
That pale Yankee bitch watching from a
window.

1851
01:57:54,019 --> 01:57:56,080
Sneering of disgust.

1852
01:57:57,780 --> 01:58:03,440
Can't preserve us. It's crazy as... He's
not crazed, Mother. He's come to his

1853
01:58:03,440 --> 01:58:04,720
senses at last.

1854
01:58:05,500 --> 01:58:09,620
So, she was sneering, was she? Well, I'm
glad you've been taught a lesson.

1855
01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:11,020
Shut your gap, sir.

1856
01:58:11,700 --> 01:58:13,320
Leave him be. Take no heed.

1857
01:58:13,760 --> 01:58:17,280
That's the same crazy blather he's
talked every once in a while since we

1858
01:58:17,280 --> 01:58:19,260
brought him to. About that Harford
woman.

1859
01:58:19,950 --> 01:58:24,410
And talking of his father and pigs one
minute and his honour and pride and his

1860
01:58:24,410 --> 01:58:25,410
mayor the next.

1861
01:58:26,570 --> 01:58:30,610
Well, anyways, that was too much for us.
Four of them with clubs.

1862
01:58:30,830 --> 01:58:35,010
But be the mortal, we went down fighting
to the last for the glory of all

1863
01:58:35,010 --> 01:58:40,230
Ireland. Like a rum-soaked trooper
brawling before a brothel on a Saturday

1864
01:58:40,230 --> 01:58:42,430
night puking in the gutter.

1865
01:58:42,810 --> 01:58:45,690
We wasn't in condition if we had been.

1866
01:58:47,300 --> 01:58:51,960
But they knocked us senseless and they
rode us to the station and locked us up.

1867
01:58:52,020 --> 01:58:55,500
And we'd have been there yet if old
Harford hadn't made them turn us loose.

1868
01:58:56,140 --> 01:58:58,660
He's rich and has influence.

1869
01:58:59,060 --> 01:59:03,360
Small thanks to him. He was afraid the
row would get in the papers and put

1870
01:59:03,360 --> 01:59:04,360
shame on him.

1871
01:59:05,420 --> 01:59:07,860
How are you going?

1872
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:11,140
Don't cross him out, Nora. He don't know
you.

1873
01:59:12,360 --> 01:59:14,420
Sure, he's only going upstairs to bed.

1874
01:59:15,050 --> 01:59:17,230
You know what's best for you, don't you,
Major?

1875
01:59:17,450 --> 01:59:18,450
Jamie's right, Mother.

1876
01:59:18,750 --> 01:59:20,690
The best thing will be if he falls
asleep.

1877
01:59:21,630 --> 01:59:22,630
Oh, my God.

1878
01:59:23,150 --> 01:59:25,290
What if he takes revenge on Simon?

1879
01:59:27,950 --> 01:59:30,730
No, he's... He's gone into a throma.

1880
01:59:31,650 --> 01:59:35,290
I'm a fool. He'd never hurt a sick man.
I've never heard him talk like that in

1881
01:59:35,290 --> 01:59:36,290
all the years.

1882
01:59:36,570 --> 01:59:38,710
That crazy dead look in his eyes.

1883
01:59:39,810 --> 01:59:40,810
Oh, my third.

1884
01:59:41,390 --> 01:59:43,830
Leave me be. I want to make sure he's
gone to bed.

1885
01:59:45,770 --> 01:59:47,570
Stay where you are unless you're a fool,
Sarah.

1886
01:59:48,390 --> 01:59:52,810
He might come to all of a sudden and
give you a hell of a thrashing.

1887
01:59:53,130 --> 01:59:56,290
Troth, you deserve one. Ain't you to
blame for what happened? Wasn't he

1888
01:59:56,290 --> 01:59:58,090
fighting to revenge insults on you?

1889
01:59:58,950 --> 02:00:01,690
Oh, thank you to mind your own business,
Jamie Cregan.

1890
02:00:02,390 --> 02:00:06,090
Just because you're a relation... Off to
hell with your heirs.

1891
02:00:08,130 --> 02:00:11,330
I can revenge my own insults, and I
have.

1892
02:00:12,610 --> 02:00:14,430
He's only made a fool of himself.

1893
02:00:15,690 --> 02:00:18,010
For Simon's mother to sneer at.

1894
02:00:19,150 --> 02:00:20,950
And I've beaten her.

1895
02:00:21,670 --> 02:00:23,570
And I'll sneer last.

1896
02:00:25,510 --> 02:00:30,790
Oh, merciful God, what a... What a way
to think of... I

1897
02:00:30,790 --> 02:00:33,770
must be crazy, too.

1898
02:00:34,390 --> 02:00:35,390
Oh, don't be.

1899
02:00:36,790 --> 02:00:41,090
Didn't the two of us lick them all? And
Khan's all right. He's all right, I'm

1900
02:00:41,090 --> 02:00:45,490
saying. Just the club on the head, he
took the hasn't queer a while.

1901
02:00:46,270 --> 02:00:52,430
All the same, it's no fun listening to
his mad blather about the pale bitches,

1902
02:00:52,490 --> 02:00:53,490
he calls her.

1903
02:00:54,050 --> 02:00:59,290
Like she was some ghost haunting and
scorning him. And his mad gab about his

1904
02:00:59,290 --> 02:01:01,450
mare is madder still.

1905
02:01:02,510 --> 02:01:07,710
What a grand, beautiful lady she is with
her slender ankles and dainty feet and

1906
02:01:07,710 --> 02:01:09,770
sobbing, begging her forgiveness.

1907
02:01:10,750 --> 02:01:12,110
Talking of dishonour and death.

1908
02:01:13,090 --> 02:01:15,530
To hell with this night.

1909
02:01:16,410 --> 02:01:17,410
He's come down.

1910
02:01:17,990 --> 02:01:18,990
He's come down.

1911
02:01:19,350 --> 02:01:20,590
He's gone out to the barn.

1912
02:01:20,830 --> 02:01:21,830
Go after him.

1913
02:01:22,090 --> 02:01:26,050
Go after him. I will not. He's all
right. Leave him alone. He's only gone

1914
02:01:26,050 --> 02:01:28,710
to call on his sweetheart. Will you shut
up? I told you.

1915
02:01:28,950 --> 02:01:30,950
I heard him open the closet in his room.

1916
02:01:31,280 --> 02:01:34,480
where he keeps his set of old Jordan
pistols, and he was carrying that box

1917
02:01:34,480 --> 02:01:37,440
when he come down. Oh, the lunatic. He's
going to ride that mare over to

1918
02:01:37,440 --> 02:01:40,780
Hanford's and going to murder somebody
for the love of God, Jim. Hey, Christ,

1919
02:01:40,860 --> 02:01:42,160
I'll stop him for you, Nora.

1920
02:01:43,200 --> 02:01:44,540
Pistols are no pistols.

1921
02:01:46,800 --> 02:01:53,460
And he must be... Oh, God.

1922
02:01:54,360 --> 02:02:00,460
As if he hadn't done enough to destroy
my... Oh, the mad fool I was. He was...

1923
02:02:03,120 --> 02:02:04,200
I didn't mean it, Mother.

1924
02:02:05,120 --> 02:02:06,280
I didn't mean it.

1925
02:02:07,300 --> 02:02:09,760
Mother, you know I didn't mean it.

1926
02:02:11,080 --> 02:02:14,340
No, no, not Jamie.

1927
02:02:15,260 --> 02:02:17,360
Oh, I can't bear waiting.

1928
02:02:18,300 --> 02:02:19,540
I'm afraid to know.

1929
02:02:20,520 --> 02:02:22,540
I'm afraid to know.

1930
02:02:36,970 --> 02:02:41,470
I found him in the stable with that
pistol in his hand and made to it on the

1931
02:02:41,470 --> 02:02:42,470
floor beside the mayor.

1932
02:02:42,970 --> 02:02:44,690
He's mad. He's grown entirely.

1933
02:02:45,590 --> 02:02:49,330
Now, you take care of him now, wife and
daughter. I've had enough. I'm no damn

1934
02:02:49,330 --> 02:02:50,330
keeper of lunatics.

1935
02:02:51,770 --> 02:02:54,610
Jamie, Jamie, we heard a shot. What was
it?

1936
02:02:55,250 --> 02:02:57,110
You ask him, not me.

1937
02:02:59,530 --> 02:03:02,090
It killed the poor mayor, the mad fool.

1938
02:03:03,400 --> 02:03:07,460
I found him on the floor with her head
in his lap and her dead and he's sobbing

1939
02:03:07,460 --> 02:03:08,960
like a soul in hell.

1940
02:03:10,700 --> 02:03:12,740
Let me get out of the sight of him.

1941
02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:18,740
To where there's men in their right
senses laughing and singing. And don't

1942
02:03:18,740 --> 02:03:23,240
be afeard, Sarah, that I'll tell the
boys a word of this. It's our fight in

1943
02:03:23,240 --> 02:03:25,800
the city I'll talk of only. That's all I
want to remember.

1944
02:04:08,720 --> 02:04:10,020
since time began.

1945
02:04:10,400 --> 02:04:13,520
You call killing the mayor a joke?

1946
02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:18,380
Look at the dead face on him. He's like
a corpse. Come, darling, don't. I should

1947
02:04:18,380 --> 02:04:20,360
not worry, Alana, sure.

1948
02:04:20,580 --> 02:04:27,100
I'm no corpse. And with a few drinks in
me, I'll soon be lively enough to

1949
02:04:27,100 --> 02:04:28,100
torture.

1950
02:04:29,140 --> 02:04:30,160
This is true.

1951
02:04:30,500 --> 02:04:33,500
Put him on the boat of torment. He no
heed.

1952
02:04:34,440 --> 02:04:35,440
He's playing.

1953
02:04:35,500 --> 02:04:38,880
acting to amuse himself. No, no, no.
It's from the blow he got on her head.

1954
02:04:39,000 --> 02:04:41,620
Let her blow me. My foot. Blather.

1955
02:04:42,460 --> 02:04:47,480
That Jamie Cregan blather. Sure, it'll
take more than a few clubs on the head

1956
02:04:47,480 --> 02:04:49,600
to darken my witch's slug.

1957
02:04:50,120 --> 02:04:53,480
Me brains, if I have any, is clear as a
bell.

1958
02:04:55,060 --> 02:04:59,640
And I'm not putting on broke to torment
you, my darling.

1959
02:04:59,880 --> 02:05:03,320
Play Acton, Sarah. That was the Major's
game.

1960
02:05:04,020 --> 02:05:09,060
Sure. It's queer, surely, for the two of
you to object when I talk in me natural

1961
02:05:09,060 --> 02:05:13,740
tongue and yours and not be putting on
airs like the late lamented old liar and

1962
02:05:13,740 --> 02:05:20,100
lunatic Major Cornelius Melody of his
majesty's seven dragoons used to do. Oh,

1963
02:05:20,100 --> 02:05:25,600
God help us, pal, our little... You've
fought his death now, and his last

1964
02:05:25,600 --> 02:05:28,700
prison line's pride is murdered and
taken.

1965
02:05:29,360 --> 02:05:33,160
So let you be easy, darling. He'll never
again hurt you with his...

1966
02:05:33,560 --> 02:05:40,300
and his pretending he's a gentleman
blathering about pride and honor and

1967
02:05:40,300 --> 02:05:46,680
boasting of jewels in the days thus gone
and showing off before the Yankees and

1968
02:05:46,680 --> 02:05:51,480
them laughing at him, prancing around
drunk on his beautiful thoroughbred

1969
02:05:51,480 --> 02:05:52,480
mare.

1970
02:05:53,480 --> 02:05:54,980
But she's dead now.

1971
02:05:56,340 --> 02:05:57,500
Poor beast.

1972
02:05:58,980 --> 02:06:01,780
Why? Why did you kill her?

1973
02:06:04,940 --> 02:06:06,220
Well, it's a major, you mean.

1974
02:06:08,240 --> 02:06:13,060
Right. I thought if you can't see that,
wasn't she the living reminder, so to

1975
02:06:13,060 --> 02:06:15,520
speak, of all his lying boasts and
dreams?

1976
02:06:16,280 --> 02:06:20,500
He meant to kill her first with one
pistol and then himself with the other.

1977
02:06:20,600 --> 02:06:24,760
But, fake, he thought the shot that
killed her had finished him too.

1978
02:06:25,020 --> 02:06:28,900
There wasn't much pride left in the old
lunatic anyway, and seeing her die made

1979
02:06:28,900 --> 02:06:29,900
an end of him.

1980
02:06:30,170 --> 02:06:35,430
So he didn't bother shooting himself
because that would be a mad thing to

1981
02:06:35,430 --> 02:06:38,750
waste a good bullet on a corpse. Don't,
Father.

1982
02:06:39,430 --> 02:06:42,750
I tell you, there was a great joke in
it. Well, that's the joke.

1983
02:06:44,510 --> 02:06:47,370
Sweet Christ.

1984
02:06:49,010 --> 02:06:52,750
The look in her eyes by the lantern
light.

1985
02:06:53,610 --> 02:06:56,910
The life ebbing out of them, wondering
and sad.

1986
02:06:59,679 --> 02:07:03,380
Still trustful, not reproaching me with
no fear in me.

1987
02:07:04,900 --> 02:07:08,340
Proud, understanding, pride.

1988
02:07:08,600 --> 02:07:13,280
She saw I was dying with her. She
understood. She forgave me.

1989
02:07:18,580 --> 02:07:22,840
He can't live. That wasn't the bad
major. Go speak to him.

1990
02:07:23,080 --> 02:07:24,980
But be damned to him.

1991
02:07:26,040 --> 02:07:28,040
He'll not haunt me long if I know it.

1992
02:07:28,540 --> 02:07:33,680
I intend to live at my ease for the rest
of me life and not let the dead bother

1993
02:07:33,680 --> 02:07:38,140
me, but enjoy life in me proper station
as old Nick Melody's son.

1994
02:07:38,660 --> 02:07:44,480
I'll bury his nature's temperate livery
of bloody England

1995
02:07:44,480 --> 02:07:48,720
deep in the ground, and he can haunt its
grave if he likes.

1996
02:07:49,390 --> 02:07:54,150
boasted the lonely knight of Talavera
and the ladies of Spain and fight in the

1997
02:07:54,150 --> 02:07:58,510
French. I think the boys is right when
they say he stole the uniform and he

1998
02:07:58,510 --> 02:08:02,410
never fought under Wellington at all. He
was a terrible liar and I remember him.

1999
02:08:02,530 --> 02:08:06,530
Oh, darling, don't be crazy. I'm about
to marry you. Shall you come get him?

2000
02:08:06,530 --> 02:08:11,890
Mother has fathered. When you stop this
mad game you're playing. A game? Is

2001
02:08:11,890 --> 02:08:14,490
that? Oh, you'll find us no game.

2002
02:08:15,240 --> 02:08:19,340
As the Major played a game all his life,
the crazy old loon, and cheated only

2003
02:08:19,340 --> 02:08:24,480
himself, but I'll be content to stay
meself in me proper station as old Nick

2004
02:08:24,480 --> 02:08:26,200
Melody's son for the rest of my life.

2005
02:08:26,940 --> 02:08:33,900
And it's meself that feels it's my duty
to give you a bit of fatherly

2006
02:08:33,900 --> 02:08:38,360
advice. Well, my mind is on it, Sarah,
darling. I know you have great ambition,

2007
02:08:38,460 --> 02:08:42,360
so remember it to hell with honour if
you want to rise in this world.

2008
02:08:43,180 --> 02:08:48,280
Remember the blood in your veins and be
your grandfather's true descendant.

2009
02:08:48,400 --> 02:08:53,860
There was an able man for you. But
Jesus, he never felt anything beneath

2010
02:08:53,860 --> 02:08:55,020
him that could gain him something.

2011
02:08:55,340 --> 02:09:00,580
And for lying tricks and swindling the
bloody fools of Gentry, there wasn't his

2012
02:09:00,580 --> 02:09:04,180
match in Ireland. And he ended up with a
grand estate and a castle and a pile of

2013
02:09:04,180 --> 02:09:06,240
gold in the bank. I hate you.

2014
02:09:08,170 --> 02:09:12,850
I know that he'd advise that to give you
a first step up, darling, you know what

2015
02:09:12,850 --> 02:09:13,850
I mean.

2016
02:09:14,070 --> 02:09:20,030
He'd tell you to have the young Yankee
gentleman in your bed. Make him have

2017
02:09:20,030 --> 02:09:24,710
you, see? And after he's had you, weep
great tears and appeal to his honour to

2018
02:09:24,710 --> 02:09:26,350
marry you and save yours.

2019
02:09:26,930 --> 02:09:28,910
Oh, shut...

2020
02:09:29,130 --> 02:09:32,110
He'll never resist that. I know him for
his young fool.

2021
02:09:32,910 --> 02:09:38,410
He's full of decency and dreams and
loony, too, with a touch of the poet in

2022
02:09:38,410 --> 02:09:43,390
the war. It'll be easy for you, darling.
I'll make you stop your dirty brogue and

2023
02:09:43,390 --> 02:09:44,590
your play-acting.

2024
02:09:45,310 --> 02:09:50,810
Thank you kindly for your wise advice,
Father, but I've already made him have

2025
02:09:50,810 --> 02:09:56,250
me in his bed while you were out drunk
fighting with the police. Hold your

2026
02:09:56,250 --> 02:09:57,250
brazen tongue!

2027
02:10:00,380 --> 02:10:02,240
Now, God bless you.

2028
02:10:03,720 --> 02:10:09,060
I might have known you'd not take any
chance. The old fool of a major going

2029
02:10:09,060 --> 02:10:12,680
out to revenge an insult to you would
spoil your schemes.

2030
02:10:14,240 --> 02:10:18,360
Be the living God, it's me you should be
proud this night.

2031
02:10:18,620 --> 02:10:24,800
One of the Yankee gentry has hoped to be
seduced by mine.

2032
02:10:25,880 --> 02:10:27,080
Slut of a daughter.

2033
02:10:27,620 --> 02:10:30,380
Oh, for the love of God, Conn, will you
be mother and son?

2034
02:10:33,080 --> 02:10:34,600
Mother and son, is it?

2035
02:10:35,420 --> 02:10:36,420
Is it that?

2036
02:10:36,780 --> 02:10:39,280
All I want to do is congratulate her.

2037
02:10:40,180 --> 02:10:45,040
Oh, it's all right, Conn. It's all
right. The young lad wants to marry her

2038
02:10:45,040 --> 02:10:48,240
as soon as he can. She told me that, and
he did before.

2039
02:10:48,460 --> 02:10:51,160
Oh, worship this kind of a...

2040
02:10:51,980 --> 02:10:55,260
Be sure to be proud of our daughter,
Nora.

2041
02:10:55,720 --> 02:10:58,500
Leave it to her to get what she wants by
hook or crook.

2042
02:10:58,960 --> 02:11:04,320
Oh, we'll be proud of her, watching her
rise in the world like a grand lady. Oh,

2043
02:11:04,320 --> 02:11:05,320
yes, surely.

2044
02:11:05,540 --> 02:11:08,920
Father. She'll have to root out his
dreams, though. She'll have some trouble

2045
02:11:08,920 --> 02:11:09,759
doing that.

2046
02:11:09,760 --> 02:11:12,420
He's set in his proud noble ways, you
know.

2047
02:11:12,640 --> 02:11:15,340
But she'll find the way. She'll find it.

2048
02:11:16,460 --> 02:11:18,880
Me God, what am I doing with a major's
pistol?

2049
02:11:19,480 --> 02:11:25,220
I don't need pistols. Me fists are a
club of his hand ain't enough.

2050
02:11:25,520 --> 02:11:29,940
And me and Jamie lick a whole regiment
of police this night. You're dead

2051
02:11:29,940 --> 02:11:31,460
enough. There haven't been so many of
them.

2052
02:11:32,300 --> 02:11:33,380
That's the talk.

2053
02:11:33,960 --> 02:11:37,840
Ah, so there's devil a more loyal wife
in this whole world.

2054
02:11:43,740 --> 02:11:45,440
I love you.

2055
02:11:46,570 --> 02:11:48,990
Go on. I wanted to tell you that so
often.

2056
02:11:49,330 --> 02:11:52,170
Only the Major, damn him, had me under
his proud thumb.

2057
02:11:54,890 --> 02:11:58,390
Oh, they cut my hair. It is, it is. Why
wouldn't I be?

2058
02:11:58,710 --> 02:12:01,630
You have beautiful hair. God bless you.

2059
02:12:02,970 --> 02:12:05,690
And don't you be remembering anything
the Major told you.

2060
02:12:05,970 --> 02:12:10,250
A gentleman sneers that he put on his
buried with him.

2061
02:12:10,610 --> 02:12:12,470
I'll be a real husband to you now.

2062
02:12:13,210 --> 02:12:14,810
And I'll help you run the Chabin.

2063
02:12:15,490 --> 02:12:20,250
And I'll fire Mickey Malloy and tend the
bar, mister, like my father's son ought

2064
02:12:20,250 --> 02:12:22,310
to do. I'll never. I'll not let you.

2065
02:12:22,810 --> 02:12:25,150
But I offered, remember, as you refused.

2066
02:12:26,490 --> 02:12:27,490
Jeez.

2067
02:12:27,810 --> 02:12:30,230
Maybe you're right not to trust me too
near the whiskey, eh?

2068
02:12:31,870 --> 02:12:33,150
Jesus, that reminds me.

2069
02:12:33,650 --> 02:12:35,910
I've not had a taste for hours. I'm
dying at first.

2070
02:12:36,130 --> 02:12:38,490
I'll get you. No, you won't do that.

2071
02:12:39,110 --> 02:12:40,110
I want company.

2072
02:12:40,710 --> 02:12:45,320
I want singing and dancing and that.
I'll join the boys in the bar and help

2073
02:12:45,320 --> 02:12:48,960
Cousin Jamie celebrate the wonderful
Sydney with the police. You ought to go

2074
02:12:48,960 --> 02:12:52,300
to Bad Con, darling, with your head
hurt. I'm fresh as a man newborn.

2075
02:12:52,820 --> 02:12:54,040
I'll see you goodnight, darling.

2076
02:12:58,500 --> 02:13:00,900
You go to bed too, Sarah.

2077
02:13:02,960 --> 02:13:07,080
You deserve a long, dreamless sleep
after all you've accomplished this day.

2078
02:13:07,380 --> 02:13:08,380
Father, please.

2079
02:13:10,060 --> 02:13:11,640
Won't you be yourself again?

2080
02:13:13,420 --> 02:13:15,680
You keep your mouth closed, you slut.

2081
02:13:15,920 --> 02:13:18,000
And not talk like you was ashamed of me,
your father.

2082
02:13:19,660 --> 02:13:22,740
Jesus, I'm not the major. It was too
much of a gentleman to lay a hand on

2083
02:13:22,740 --> 02:13:25,220
your face. I'll give you such a box on
the nose.

2084
02:13:25,940 --> 02:13:28,040
I'll teach you to raise the dead.

2085
02:13:29,080 --> 02:13:31,480
Father, don't go in with those drunken
scum.

2086
02:13:32,720 --> 02:13:33,840
Jamie will come here.

2087
02:13:34,400 --> 02:13:38,560
He'll keep you company. He'll laugh and
sing and help you celebrate Taliban.

2088
02:13:38,800 --> 02:13:40,660
Help with Taliban!

2089
02:13:44,880 --> 02:13:49,300
Oh, be Jesus, if it ain't them there,
the old rule who's always admiring is

2090
02:13:49,300 --> 02:13:55,340
mogging while he's spouting by and
pretending himself was a great lord with

2091
02:13:55,340 --> 02:13:56,580
a touch for the poet.

2092
02:13:57,400 --> 02:14:01,160
I have not loved the world, nor the
world me.

2093
02:14:01,640 --> 02:14:08,340
I have not flappered at, shrank,
pressed, nor bowed to at idolatries,

2094
02:14:08,340 --> 02:14:14,360
a patient me, nor coined me cheek to
smiles, nor cried aloud in worship of an

2095
02:14:14,360 --> 02:14:20,560
echo. In the crowd they could not deem
me one of such. I stood among them, but

2096
02:14:20,560 --> 02:14:22,440
not of them.

2097
02:14:23,140 --> 02:14:24,580
Oh, be Christ.

2098
02:14:25,210 --> 02:14:29,010
He was the joke of the world, the major.
He should have been a clown in a circus.

2099
02:14:29,050 --> 02:14:33,490
God rest his soul in the flames of
torment.

2100
02:14:34,730 --> 02:14:36,470
That's the hell with the dead.

2101
02:14:36,750 --> 02:14:37,930
Be God, I'm alive.

2102
02:14:38,870 --> 02:14:41,330
And I am one of the crowd.

2103
02:14:41,570 --> 02:14:44,930
Be God, I'll be among them and of them
too.

2104
02:14:45,590 --> 02:14:49,770
I'll make up for the lonely dog's life,
the major. Let me... Father, please

2105
02:14:49,770 --> 02:14:51,670
don't put this final shame on yourself.

2106
02:14:52,480 --> 02:14:55,940
You're not drunk now. You have no
excuse. You'll be as dead to yourself

2107
02:14:55,940 --> 02:14:59,020
after as if you were shot yourself along
with the mayor.

2108
02:14:59,500 --> 02:15:04,700
Listen to the little one reproaching me
because I'm not drunk. Oh, that's a

2109
02:15:04,700 --> 02:15:05,980
condition soon mended.

2110
02:15:06,880 --> 02:15:08,700
Leave him alone, Sarge.

2111
02:15:09,860 --> 02:15:12,880
Oh, I'm missing a lot of fun out there.

2112
02:15:14,560 --> 02:15:18,140
God, I've a bit of news to tell the boys
that'll make them roar the house down.

2113
02:15:18,280 --> 02:15:22,680
The Major's passing to his eternal rest
has set me free to join the Democrats.

2114
02:15:23,020 --> 02:15:29,920
And I vote for Andy Jackson, the friend
of the common man, like me.

2115
02:15:30,040 --> 02:15:32,240
God bless him. No,

2116
02:15:33,240 --> 02:15:36,240
I won't let you. It's my pride, too.

2117
02:15:37,140 --> 02:15:40,960
Listen, Father, forgive me. I know it's
my fault.

2118
02:15:41,440 --> 02:15:46,120
For always sneering at you and insulting
you. But it was only the lies I meant.

2119
02:15:46,700 --> 02:15:47,700
The truth.

2120
02:15:48,680 --> 02:15:51,660
Talavera. The buke praising your
bravery.

2121
02:15:52,700 --> 02:15:57,840
Even the ladies in Spain. Deep down,
that was my pride, too. That I was your

2122
02:15:57,840 --> 02:15:58,840
daughter.

2123
02:15:59,560 --> 02:16:00,880
Please forgive me.

2124
02:16:01,700 --> 02:16:07,240
I'll do anything you want. I'll even
tell Simon that after his father's

2125
02:16:07,240 --> 02:16:08,240
insult to you...

2126
02:16:09,070 --> 02:16:12,550
I'm too proud to marry the son of a
Yankee coward.

2127
02:16:13,030 --> 02:16:17,030
Sarah, let me go. For the love of God,
stop and let me go.

2128
02:16:17,330 --> 02:16:19,490
Leave your poor father alone at best.

2129
02:16:22,410 --> 02:16:25,850
Why couldn't you be still? Why can't
you, you mean?

2130
02:16:26,410 --> 02:16:30,530
I warned you what you'd get if you kept
on interfering and trying to raise the

2131
02:16:30,530 --> 02:16:31,530
dirt.

2132
02:16:32,330 --> 02:16:35,090
Pity you, Con. Will you be heading for
Sarah now?

2133
02:16:35,309 --> 02:16:38,010
I tell you, I'll put up with enough. Are
you shut up, darling?

2134
02:16:39,400 --> 02:16:40,440
I won't have to again.

2135
02:16:41,660 --> 02:16:43,219
I'll teach you, me proud Sarah.

2136
02:16:44,180 --> 02:16:47,379
I know you won't try to raise in the
dead anymore.

2137
02:16:49,059 --> 02:16:52,040
And let me hear no more gabber to you
about not marrying the young lad

2138
02:16:52,040 --> 02:16:55,440
upstairs. But Jesus, haven't you any
honor, any shame?

2139
02:16:56,200 --> 02:17:00,260
You seduce him and you'll make an honest
gentleman of him if I have to march you

2140
02:17:00,260 --> 02:17:02,280
both by the scruff of the neck to the
nearest church.

2141
02:17:04,740 --> 02:17:07,219
Forgive me.

2142
02:17:08,020 --> 02:17:09,020
Both?

2143
02:17:09,770 --> 02:17:12,430
I'll join my good friends in the bar.

2144
02:17:19,330 --> 02:17:21,410
Don't mind his giving you a slap.

2145
02:17:21,650 --> 02:17:22,830
He's still corning his head.

2146
02:17:24,270 --> 02:17:31,250
But he'll drink and sing and laugh and
have a power of whiskey and sleep

2147
02:17:31,250 --> 02:17:33,990
sound after. And pimp himself again
tomorrow.

2148
02:17:35,090 --> 02:17:36,090
Maybe.

2149
02:17:38,639 --> 02:17:39,639
He's beaten.

2150
02:17:40,559 --> 02:17:42,420
And he wants to stay beaten.

2151
02:17:44,860 --> 02:17:46,440
Well, I did my best.

2152
02:17:47,320 --> 02:17:48,620
Though why, I don't know.

2153
02:17:49,600 --> 02:17:51,900
I must have a crazy pride in me.

2154
02:17:54,280 --> 02:17:56,900
I mean the late Major Mulledy's pride.

2155
02:17:57,100 --> 02:17:59,860
I mean... I did.

2156
02:18:00,660 --> 02:18:01,660
Now it's dead.

2157
02:18:03,700 --> 02:18:04,700
Thank God.

2158
02:18:06,990 --> 02:18:10,969
And I'll make a better wife to Simon for
her. This is the next president, Andy

2159
02:18:10,969 --> 02:18:12,469
Jackson. Hello, Paul.

2160
02:18:12,910 --> 02:18:13,910
Hi,

2161
02:18:16,090 --> 02:18:17,290
Peter Codd.

2162
02:18:17,910 --> 02:18:19,950
June, for Andy Jackson. Did you hear
him, sir?

2163
02:18:20,530 --> 02:18:21,629
I heard someone.

2164
02:18:22,930 --> 02:18:26,150
But with no one I know or want to know.

2165
02:18:26,990 --> 02:18:28,330
Well, that's good.

2166
02:18:28,530 --> 02:18:30,309
They won't all be hating him now.

2167
02:18:32,709 --> 02:18:34,049
And did you hear him?

2168
02:18:35,350 --> 02:18:36,629
Telling me he loved me.

2169
02:18:39,230 --> 02:18:41,490
Did you see him kiss me on the mouth?

2170
02:18:42,469 --> 02:18:44,809
And then he kissed my hair.

2171
02:18:47,530 --> 02:18:49,629
Sure, he must have gone mad, don't you
think?

2172
02:18:51,129 --> 02:18:52,129
No.

2173
02:18:53,590 --> 02:18:54,830
He meant it, Mother.

2174
02:18:56,410 --> 02:18:59,250
And he'll go on meaning it. He's free to
go.

2175
02:18:59,549 --> 02:19:00,809
Oh, if he wants to go on.

2176
02:19:01,260 --> 02:19:04,760
Making games with everyone, putting on
the brogue and acting like he's one of

2177
02:19:04,760 --> 02:19:05,760
them in there.

2178
02:19:07,020 --> 02:19:11,219
Why shouldn't he if it brings him peace
and company in his loneliness?

2179
02:19:13,600 --> 02:19:14,660
I'd pity him.

2180
02:19:16,639 --> 02:19:20,080
He's had to live his whole life alone in
the hell of pride.

2181
02:19:23,240 --> 02:19:26,139
He can play any game he likes and I'll
give him love in it.

2182
02:19:26,600 --> 02:19:27,900
Sure haven't I, August?

2183
02:19:29,100 --> 02:19:31,260
There's no pride at all except that.

2184
02:19:32,160 --> 02:19:35,020
You're a strange, noble woman, Mother.

2185
02:19:37,240 --> 02:19:39,120
I'll try to be like you.

2186
02:19:42,260 --> 02:19:44,520
Regis Simon never heard the shot or
anything.

2187
02:19:45,480 --> 02:19:48,260
He was sleeping like a baby when I left
him.

2188
02:19:49,400 --> 02:19:51,260
A cannon wouldn't wake him.

2189
02:19:54,540 --> 02:19:58,260
That's right, you don't know it, but
he's playing a requiem for the dead.

2190
02:20:02,950 --> 02:20:05,410
May the hero of Tenevara rest in peace.

2191
02:20:10,830 --> 02:20:12,990
Why do I cry, mother?

2192
02:20:14,610 --> 02:20:17,630
Why should I mourn for him? Come on,
darling.

2193
02:20:17,970 --> 02:20:20,690
You're destroyed with tiredness, that's
all.

2194
02:20:21,850 --> 02:20:23,390
Come on, I've fucked that.

2195
02:20:23,950 --> 02:20:25,470
I'll help you undress.

2196
02:20:25,830 --> 02:20:26,830
I'm not talking.

2197
02:20:29,350 --> 02:20:30,370
Shame on you.

2198
02:20:33,000 --> 02:20:34,500
when you have to laugh?

2199
02:20:36,020 --> 02:20:38,240
What would the young laugh think of me?
