1
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:03,300
Here we are.

2
00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:25,080
Hello, darling.

3
00:01:29,717 --> 00:01:32,917
I wouldn�t put it past Sebastian
to have started dinner.

4
00:01:38,827 --> 00:01:40,827
Thank you, Wilcox.

5
00:01:40,841 --> 00:01:43,341
Well, darling,
I have collected your chum.

6
00:01:44,868 --> 00:01:46,568
I thought you were dying.

7
00:01:46,595 --> 00:01:50,695
I thought so, too.
The pain was excruciating.

8
00:01:50,622 --> 00:01:53,422
Julia, do you think, if you asked him,
Wilcox might give us champagne tonight?

9
00:01:53,403 --> 00:01:57,403
I hate champagne
and Mr Ryder has already had dinner.

10
00:01:57,335 --> 00:02:01,035
Mister Ryder?
Mister Ryder?

11
00:02:00,979 --> 00:02:03,479
Charles drinks champagne at all hours.

12
00:02:10,088 --> 00:02:15,988
<i>I believed myself very near to heaven,
during those languid days at Brideshead.</i>

13
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:23,239
<i>It is thus I like to remember Sebastian,
as he was that summer,</i>

14
00:02:23,130 --> 00:02:27,530
<i>when we wandered alone
through that enchanted palace.</i>

15
00:02:33,486 --> 00:02:36,486
Is the dome by Vanburgh?
It looks later.

16
00:02:38,377 --> 00:02:41,377
Oh, Charles, don�t be such a tourist.

17
00:02:41,350 --> 00:02:44,150
What does it matter when
it was built, if it�s pretty?

18
00:02:44,131 --> 00:02:46,631
It�s the sort of thing that interests me.

19
00:02:49,213 --> 00:02:55,513
Oh dear, I thought
I�d cured you of all that �

20
00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:57,550
the terrible Mr Collins.

21
00:03:00,241 --> 00:03:02,341
<i>Sebastian in his wheel chair</i>

22
00:03:02,350 --> 00:03:05,350
<i>spinning down the box-edged walks
of the kitchen gardens</i>

23
00:03:05,323 --> 00:03:09,223
<i>in search of alpine strawberries
and warm figs.</i>

24
00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:12,359
<i>Propelling himself through the
succession of hot-houses,</i>

25
00:03:12,323 --> 00:03:14,923
<i>from scent to scent
and climate to climate,</i>

26
00:03:14,912 --> 00:03:17,512
<i>to choose orchids for our buttonholes.</i>

27
00:03:18,940 --> 00:03:22,740
<i>It was an aesthetic education
to live within those walls.</i>

28
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,480
<i>Since the days when, as a schoolboy,</i>

29
00:03:24,502 --> 00:03:26,602
<i>I used to bicycle round
the neighbouring parishes,</i>

30
00:03:26,611 --> 00:03:29,611
<i>rubbing brasses
and photographing fonts,</i>

31
00:03:29,584 --> 00:03:31,884
<i>I had nursed a love of architecture,</i>

32
00:03:31,885 --> 00:03:36,285
<i>but my sentiments at heart
were insular and medieval.</i>

33
00:03:36,201 --> 00:03:39,101
<i>This was my conversion
to the Baroque.</i>

34
00:03:42,530 --> 00:03:45,030
Why is this house called a �castle�?

35
00:03:45,023 --> 00:03:48,223
Because it used to be one
until they moved it.

36
00:03:50,297 --> 00:03:52,697
- What can you mean?
- Just that.

37
00:03:54,325 --> 00:03:58,925
It used to be a castle
about a mile away, down by the village.

38
00:03:58,832 --> 00:04:01,632
Then when they took
a fancy to the valley

39
00:04:01,612 --> 00:04:06,812
and pulled the castle down,
carted it stone by stone up here,

40
00:04:06,695 --> 00:04:08,595
and built a new house.

41
00:04:10,339 --> 00:04:12,539
I�m rather glad they did, aren�t you?

42
00:04:15,229 --> 00:04:18,029
If it was mine,
I couldn�t live anywhere else.

43
00:04:20,887 --> 00:04:23,487
But it isn�t really mine.

44
00:04:23,476 --> 00:04:26,976
I mean, just at the moment it is,

45
00:04:26,928 --> 00:04:29,728
but usually it�s full
of ravening beasts.

46
00:04:31,435 --> 00:04:38,635
If it could only be like this always �
always alone, always summer,

47
00:04:38,435 --> 00:04:41,835
the fruit always ripe,
and Aloysius always in a good temper.

48
00:04:48,217 --> 00:04:50,317
Charles! Charles!

49
00:04:51,573 --> 00:04:52,773
Aloysius!

50
00:05:01,354 --> 00:05:02,554
Are you all right?

51
00:05:04,327 --> 00:05:05,827
- Very funny.
- How�s the ankle?

52
00:05:05,861 --> 00:05:07,961
Very, very funny.

53
00:05:07,971 --> 00:05:10,971
Come on. I suppose
you�ll be in bed for months now.

54
00:05:10,943 --> 00:05:13,943
<i>One day in a cupboard
we found a box of oil paints.</i>

55
00:05:16,505 --> 00:05:18,805
Mummy bought all these paints.

56
00:05:18,807 --> 00:05:21,307
Someone told her that you couldn�t
appreciate the beauty of the world

57
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:23,500
unless you tried to paint it.

58
00:05:23,505 --> 00:05:27,505
<i>Sebastian gave me the idea
of decorating the Garden Room.</i>

59
00:05:27,437 --> 00:05:29,337
She couldn�t draw at all.

60
00:05:30,889 --> 00:05:32,389
The colours in the tubes
were very bright,

61
00:05:32,423 --> 00:05:35,523
but every time Mummy mixed them,
they came out a kind of khaki.

62
00:05:49,972 --> 00:05:53,072
- Be reasonable.
- Well, you�re ahead of me anyway.

63
00:05:57,260 --> 00:05:59,760
Charles, you do that every single time!

64
00:06:03,013 --> 00:06:05,413
It�s surrounded.

65
00:06:05,411 --> 00:06:10,211
<i>I knew little of oil-painting
and learned its ways as I worked.</i>

66
00:06:10,110 --> 00:06:12,610
<i>By luck, and the happy
mood of the moment,</i>

67
00:06:12,603 --> 00:06:14,703
<i>the brush seemed to do
what was wanted of it,</i>

68
00:06:14,712 --> 00:06:17,712
<i>and in a week it was finished.</i>

69
00:06:17,685 --> 00:06:19,985
Not bad, Charles.

70
00:06:19,987 --> 00:06:21,687
Do you think your mother will mind?

71
00:06:21,713 --> 00:06:23,913
Well, we won�t know
until she sees it, will we?

72
00:06:26,316 --> 00:06:29,616
One day we went down
to the cellars with Wilcox

73
00:06:29,576 --> 00:06:33,076
and saw the empty bays which had once
held a vast store of wine.

74
00:06:34,275 --> 00:06:37,475
Lot of this old wine
just wants drinking up.

75
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:40,239
We should�ve laid down
the 18�s and 20�s by now.

76
00:06:42,138 --> 00:06:46,638
Her Ladyship says to ask Lord Brideshead,
he says to ask His Lordship,

77
00:06:46,549 --> 00:06:48,749
His Lordship says to ask the lawyers.

78
00:06:50,864 --> 00:06:52,364
That�s how we get low.

79
00:06:53,837 --> 00:06:56,737
I know there�s enough to last ten years,
but what happens then?

80
00:06:56,714 --> 00:06:58,614
That�s what I want to know.

81
00:07:01,125 --> 00:07:04,025
<i>Wilcox welcomed our interest;</i>

82
00:07:04,002 --> 00:07:06,502
<i>we had bottles brought up
from every bin,</i>

83
00:07:06,495 --> 00:07:09,995
<i>and it was during those
tranquil evenings with Sebastian</i>

84
00:07:09,947 --> 00:07:13,147
<i>that I first made a real
acquaintance with wine.</i>

85
00:07:13,112 --> 00:07:15,912
�Now, for the fullest
of appreciation,

86
00:07:15,892 --> 00:07:19,392
�first warm the glass
gently at a candle flame.�

87
00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:33,279
�Fill it a third high...�
of Ch�teau Lafitte 1899.

88
00:07:47,921 --> 00:07:50,321
�Swirl the wine gently round the glass.�

89
00:07:53,962 --> 00:07:55,462
That is a claret.

90
00:07:55,496 --> 00:07:58,496
It�s a burgundy,
I have a burgundy in my hand.

91
00:07:58,469 --> 00:08:00,669
You didn�t... You haven�t...
Have you just poured this...?

92
00:08:00,675 --> 00:08:03,375
- I have claret in my hand.
- This is burgundy. This is burgundy.

93
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,460
I know this is burgundy.

94
00:08:07,099 --> 00:08:09,999
Yes.
This was claret.

95
00:08:09,976 --> 00:08:16,676
The glass that... inopportunely
dropped out of my hand.

96
00:08:16,497 --> 00:08:18,397
This legless glass.

97
00:08:20,620 --> 00:08:23,020
It is my glass.

98
00:08:23,018 --> 00:08:25,718
Charles, have another biscuit.

99
00:08:25,703 --> 00:08:27,603
Oh, this is claret.

100
00:08:28,963 --> 00:08:31,763
This is a king of clarets.
It is another... a brother.

101
00:08:31,744 --> 00:08:34,544
Definitely a brother.
Go in there.

102
00:08:34,525 --> 00:08:36,425
Up to the light.

103
00:08:37,594 --> 00:08:40,394
Up to the light,

104
00:08:40,374 --> 00:08:43,574
under the nose, breathe it in.

105
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:52,340
It�s like a flute by still water.

106
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,820
Ought we to be drunk every night?

107
00:09:13,074 --> 00:09:15,374
Yes...

108
00:09:15,376 --> 00:09:18,476
I think we should.

109
00:09:18,444 --> 00:09:20,944
Yes, I think we should, too.

110
00:09:25,924 --> 00:09:30,524
<i>On Sundays, a neighbouring priest
called to say mass.</i>

111
00:09:30,431 --> 00:09:33,931
<i>Sebastian�s faith was
an enigma to me at the time,</i>

112
00:09:33,883 --> 00:09:37,883
<i>but not one that I felt
particularly concerned to solve.</i>

113
00:09:37,815 --> 00:09:40,015
<i>I took it as a foible,
like his teddy bear.</i>

114
00:09:41,554 --> 00:09:44,854
Such an old bore, Father Phipps.

115
00:09:44,815 --> 00:09:48,115
He kept me back half an hour after mass,
talking about cricket.

116
00:09:53,541 --> 00:09:56,041
- Do you want some cold coffee?
- Yes, please.

117
00:09:57,569 --> 00:09:59,769
It�s so difficult being a Catholic.

118
00:10:01,980 --> 00:10:06,280
- Does it make much difference to you?
- Of course. All the time.

119
00:10:09,459 --> 00:10:12,559
Well, I can�t say that I�ve noticed it.

120
00:10:12,528 --> 00:10:15,228
Are you struggling against temptation?

121
00:10:15,213 --> 00:10:17,813
You don�t seem to me
much more virtuous than me.

122
00:10:17,802 --> 00:10:20,702
My dear Charles,
I�m much, much wickeder.

123
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:21,979
Well then?

124
00:10:24,419 --> 00:10:28,019
Who was it used to pray,
�O God, make me good, but not yet?�

125
00:10:27,967 --> 00:10:29,567
I don�t know.
You, I should think.

126
00:10:29,597 --> 00:10:32,997
Yes.
I do. All the time.

127
00:10:36,405 --> 00:10:38,005
But it has nothing to do with that.

128
00:10:41,104 --> 00:10:43,004
Good Lord, another naughty scoutmaster.

129
00:10:45,515 --> 00:10:48,715
I suppose they try and make you
believe lots of nonsense?

130
00:10:51,844 --> 00:10:56,844
Is it nonsense?
I wish it were.

131
00:10:56,735 --> 00:10:59,935
It sometimes seems
particularly sensible to me.

132
00:10:59,899 --> 00:11:02,699
My dear Sebastian,
you can�t seriously believe it all.

133
00:11:04,598 --> 00:11:05,898
Can�t I?

134
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:09,900
No, I mean about Christmas
and the star and the ox

135
00:11:09,872 --> 00:11:13,072
and the ass
and the three kings.

136
00:11:13,037 --> 00:11:15,337
Oh yes, I believe all that.
It�s a lovely idea.

137
00:11:15,338 --> 00:11:18,438
But you can�t believe things
because they�re lovely ideas.

138
00:11:18,407 --> 00:11:20,707
Well, I do.

139
00:11:20,708 --> 00:11:22,308
That�s how I believe.

140
00:11:25,407 --> 00:11:28,007
- Do you believe in prayer?
- Oh Charles, don�t be a bore.

141
00:11:27,996 --> 00:11:30,796
I�m trying to read about this woman in Hull
who�s using an instrument.

142
00:11:30,777 --> 00:11:32,677
You started it.
I was just getting interested.

143
00:11:32,695 --> 00:11:34,295
Well, I�ll never mention it again.

144
00:11:35,859 --> 00:11:39,359
<i>But he did, ten days later,
when our peace was disturbed</i>

145
00:11:39,312 --> 00:11:43,012
<i>on the occasion of the
annual Agricultural Fair.</i>

146
00:11:42,955 --> 00:11:46,455
<i>The house, which seemed to have slept
during the past weeks,</i>

147
00:11:46,408 --> 00:11:48,808
<i>awoke to a flurry of activity,</i>

148
00:11:48,805 --> 00:11:53,205
<i>and Brideshead, Sebastian�s elder brother,
came down to preside.</i>

149
00:11:56,668 --> 00:11:58,868
Queer fellow, my brother.

150
00:12:02,422 --> 00:12:04,922
Now he�s here, I think we should
stay out of the way.

151
00:12:06,737 --> 00:12:09,537
He�s in his element today.

152
00:12:09,518 --> 00:12:12,318
He�s a very big part
of the Agricultural Show.

153
00:12:12,299 --> 00:12:16,799
- He looks normal enough to me.
- Oh, but he�s not. If you only knew.

154
00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:22,910
He�s much the craziest of us,
only it never comes out at all.

155
00:12:22,751 --> 00:12:28,151
He�s all twisted inside.
He wanted to be a priest, you know.

156
00:12:29,272 --> 00:12:30,572
I didn�t.

157
00:12:34,258 --> 00:12:35,858
I think he still does.

158
00:12:43,368 --> 00:12:44,968
He nearly became a Jesuit.

159
00:12:47,204 --> 00:12:52,704
It was awful for Mummy.
She couldn�t exactly try and stop him,

160
00:12:52,574 --> 00:12:55,374
but of course it was
the last thing she wanted.

161
00:12:55,355 --> 00:12:58,155
I mean, imagine what people
would have said � the eldest son;

162
00:12:58,136 --> 00:12:59,936
it�s not even as if it were me.

163
00:13:10,314 --> 00:13:12,214
And poor papa.

164
00:13:13,383 --> 00:13:16,783
The Church had been enough trouble to him
without that happening.

165
00:13:19,328 --> 00:13:22,528
I wonder if I�d have been like that
if I�d gone to Stoneyhurst.

166
00:13:22,493 --> 00:13:27,393
I should have gone, but papa went
abroad before I was old enough.

167
00:13:27,287 --> 00:13:29,787
The first thing he insisted upon
was my going to Eton.

168
00:13:31,699 --> 00:13:33,899
Has your father given up religion?

169
00:13:36,493 --> 00:13:38,393
Well, he�s had to, in a way.

170
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,380
He only took it up
when he married Mummy.

171
00:13:45,315 --> 00:13:49,115
When he went off,
he left it behind,

172
00:13:49,055 --> 00:13:50,955
with the rest of us.

173
00:13:59,220 --> 00:14:01,720
You must meet him.
He�s a very nice man.

174
00:14:12,070 --> 00:14:13,670
Now, don�t look down, Charles.

175
00:14:33,933 --> 00:14:37,133
So, you see,
we�re a mixed family religiously.

176
00:14:39,303 --> 00:14:42,903
Brideshead and Cordelia
are both fervent Catholics;

177
00:14:42,851 --> 00:14:44,751
he�s miserable, she�s bird-happy.

178
00:14:46,975 --> 00:14:49,175
Julia and I are both semi-heathens.

179
00:14:51,194 --> 00:14:53,394
I am happy.

180
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,600
I rather think Julia isn�t.

181
00:14:57,811 --> 00:15:01,511
Mummy is popularly believed to be a saint
and papa is excommunicated.

182
00:15:04,715 --> 00:15:06,915
I wouldn�t know
which of them were happy.

183
00:15:10,565 --> 00:15:13,065
Anyway, however you look at it,

184
00:15:13,058 --> 00:15:16,658
happiness doesn�t seem
to have much to do with it.

185
00:15:16,606 --> 00:15:18,406
And that�s all I want.

186
00:15:23,510 --> 00:15:25,310
I wish I liked Catholics more.

187
00:15:27,921 --> 00:15:29,521
They seem just like everyone else.

188
00:15:29,552 --> 00:15:32,352
My dear Charles, that�s exactly
what they�re not �

189
00:15:32,332 --> 00:15:35,532
particularly in this country,
where they�re so few.

190
00:15:37,607 --> 00:15:39,807
I mean, it�s not just
that they�re a clique.

191
00:15:42,209 --> 00:15:45,309
Everything they think is important
is different from other people.

192
00:15:45,278 --> 00:15:48,078
I mean, they try and cover it up,
but it comes out all the time.

193
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,740
So you see it�s difficult for
semi-heathens like Julia and me.

194
00:15:54,676 --> 00:15:55,876
Sebastian!

195
00:15:57,361 --> 00:15:58,661
Sebastian!

196
00:15:59,950 --> 00:16:02,450
God, that sounds like my sister Cordelia.
Cover yourself up.

197
00:16:07,429 --> 00:16:08,729
Where are you?

198
00:16:10,594 --> 00:16:13,694
Go away, Cordelia.
We�re not decent.

199
00:16:13,663 --> 00:16:15,563
Yes, you are.

200
00:16:15,580 --> 00:16:17,780
I guessed you were here.

201
00:16:17,786 --> 00:16:19,886
You didn�t know
I was about, did you?

202
00:16:19,896 --> 00:16:24,596
I came down with Bridey
and I stopped off to see Francis Xavier.

203
00:16:24,498 --> 00:16:25,798
He�s my pig.

204
00:16:25,841 --> 00:16:29,941
And then I had lunch with Colonel Fender
and then onto the show.

205
00:16:30,827 --> 00:16:33,027
Francis Xavier got a special mention.

206
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:40,180
But that beast Randal got first
with a very mangy-looking animal.

207
00:16:40,033 --> 00:16:42,533
Darling Sebastian,
it is lovely to see you.

208
00:16:42,526 --> 00:16:45,426
- How�s your poor foot?
- Say how-d�you-do to Mr Ryder.

209
00:16:45,403 --> 00:16:49,103
- Sorry. How do you do?
- I am sorry about your pig.

210
00:16:50,581 --> 00:16:54,081
They�re all getting pretty boozy
down there, so I came away.

211
00:16:54,034 --> 00:16:57,134
I say, who�s been painting
the Garden Hall?

212
00:16:57,102 --> 00:16:58,902
I went in to get a shooting stick
and saw it.

213
00:16:58,924 --> 00:17:01,824
Be careful what you say.
It�s Mr Ryder.

214
00:17:01,801 --> 00:17:05,501
But it�s lovely.
I say, did you really?

215
00:17:05,445 --> 00:17:07,345
You are clever!

216
00:17:07,363 --> 00:17:10,163
Oh, why don�t you both come down?
There�s nobody about.

217
00:17:10,144 --> 00:17:12,044
Bridey�s bound
to bring the judges in.

218
00:17:12,062 --> 00:17:14,762
No, no, he won�t. I heard him
making arrangements not to.

219
00:17:14,747 --> 00:17:16,347
He�s very sour today.

220
00:17:16,377 --> 00:17:18,877
He didn�t want me to have
dinner with you, but I fixed that.

221
00:17:18,870 --> 00:17:20,370
Oh, do come on.

222
00:17:20,404 --> 00:17:22,504
I�ll be in the nursery
when you�re fit to be seen.

223
00:17:29,035 --> 00:17:32,135
<i>We were a somber
little party that evening.</i>

224
00:17:32,103 --> 00:17:36,003
<i>Brideshead was only three years older
than Sebastian and I,</i>

225
00:17:35,939 --> 00:17:38,439
<i>but he seemed of another generation.</i>

226
00:17:38,432 --> 00:17:40,632
I hope Sebastian is seeing to the wine.

227
00:17:40,638 --> 00:17:43,938
Wilcox is apt to be rather grudging
when he is on his own.

228
00:17:43,898 --> 00:17:47,498
- He�s treated us very liberally.
- I�m delighted to hear it.

229
00:17:47,446 --> 00:17:49,946
- You�re fond of wine?
- Very.

230
00:17:51,282 --> 00:17:52,782
I wish I were.

231
00:17:54,926 --> 00:17:58,026
It�s such a bond with other men.

232
00:17:57,995 --> 00:18:00,495
At Oxford I tried to get drunk
once or twice.

233
00:18:02,118 --> 00:18:04,218
But I didn�t enjoy it.

234
00:18:04,228 --> 00:18:07,628
Beer and whisky
I find even less appetizing.

235
00:18:07,584 --> 00:18:12,184
Events like today�s show
are in consequence a torment to me.

236
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:13,591
I like wine.

237
00:18:14,776 --> 00:18:16,876
My sister Cordelia�s last report

238
00:18:16,886 --> 00:18:19,386
said that she was not only
the worst girl in the school,

239
00:18:19,379 --> 00:18:24,079
but the worst that had ever been
in the memory of the oldest nun.

240
00:18:23,982 --> 00:18:27,482
That�s because the Reverend Mother said
that if I didn�t keep my room tidy,

241
00:18:27,434 --> 00:18:30,034
Our Lady would be very grieved.

242
00:18:30,023 --> 00:18:33,023
and I told her that our Blessed Lady
didn�t give two hoots

243
00:18:32,996 --> 00:18:37,596
whether I put my gym shoes on the left
or the right of my dancing shoes.

244
00:18:37,503 --> 00:18:39,203
Reverend Mother was livid.

245
00:18:39,229 --> 00:18:42,429
Cordelia, Our Lady cares
about obedience.

246
00:18:43,927 --> 00:18:47,227
Bridey, don�t be so pious.

247
00:18:47,188 --> 00:18:49,388
We�ve an atheist in our midst.

248
00:18:51,503 --> 00:18:54,203
- Agnostic.
- Really?

249
00:19:14,422 --> 00:19:20,622
What were the entries like this year?
Were you pleased?

250
00:19:20,463 --> 00:19:25,363
No, the standard was remarkably low.
Not a decent animal to chose between.

251
00:19:25,257 --> 00:19:28,057
If I�d had my way,
no prizes would have been awarded.

252
00:19:31,107 --> 00:19:34,307
- It would have served Randal right.
- Cordelia!

253
00:19:35,806 --> 00:19:39,906
By the way, did I tell you
I�d seen the Bishop of London?

254
00:19:39,833 --> 00:19:42,133
No, Bridey, you didn�t.

255
00:19:42,135 --> 00:19:44,335
He wants to close the chapel.

256
00:19:47,984 --> 00:19:49,184
He couldn�t.

257
00:19:52,108 --> 00:19:55,608
- Do you think Mummy would let him?
- There are so few of us.

258
00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:00,460
It isn�t as though we�re old Catholics
with everyone on the estate coming to mass.

259
00:20:00,354 --> 00:20:03,454
Do you mean we have to drive miles
on winter mornings?

260
00:20:04,766 --> 00:20:07,266
We must have
the Blessed Sacraments here.

261
00:20:09,752 --> 00:20:12,252
I like popping in at odd times;
so does Mummy.

262
00:20:12,245 --> 00:20:17,145
So do, I but it�ll have to go
sooner or later,

263
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,440
perhaps after mummy�s time.
No, thank you.

264
00:20:21,355 --> 00:20:25,055
The point is whether it wouldn�t
be better to let it go now.

265
00:20:27,492 --> 00:20:31,792
You�re an artist, Ryder,
what do you think of it aesthetically?

266
00:20:34,109 --> 00:20:36,309
I think it�s beautiful.

267
00:20:38,712 --> 00:20:40,612
Is it Good Art?

268
00:20:44,657 --> 00:20:47,357
Well, I don�t quite know
what you mean.

269
00:20:49,644 --> 00:20:52,044
Oh, Bridey, stop being so Jesuitical.

270
00:20:52,041 --> 00:20:54,541
I�m sorry, I thought
it was an interesting point.

271
00:20:56,356 --> 00:20:58,456
Well, if you�ll excuse me.

272
00:20:58,466 --> 00:21:00,966
I must take Sebastian away
for half an hour.

273
00:21:00,959 --> 00:21:03,959
There are some family matters
to deal with.

274
00:21:03,932 --> 00:21:06,332
It�s time you were in bed, Cordelia.

275
00:21:06,329 --> 00:21:09,029
Must digest first.

276
00:21:09,014 --> 00:21:11,814
I�m not used to gorging
like this at night.

277
00:21:13,138 --> 00:21:15,838
I�ll talk to Charles.

278
00:21:15,823 --> 00:21:20,523
�Charles�? �Charles�?
�Mr Ryder� to you, child.

279
00:21:23,110 --> 00:21:25,310
Send her to bed if she�s a bore.

280
00:21:39,604 --> 00:21:41,504
Are you really an agnostic?

281
00:21:44,399 --> 00:21:47,199
Does your family always talk
about religion all the time?

282
00:21:47,180 --> 00:21:49,080
Not all the time.

283
00:21:49,098 --> 00:21:52,098
It�s a subject that comes up
naturally, doesn�t it?

284
00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:56,370
Does it?
It never has with me before.

285
00:21:59,070 --> 00:22:01,270
Then perhaps you are an agnostic.

286
00:22:02,906 --> 00:22:06,006
- I�ll pray for you.
- Thank you.

287
00:22:07,605 --> 00:22:09,805
I�m sure it�s more than I deserve.

288
00:22:09,811 --> 00:22:12,411
Oh, I�ve got harder cases than you.

289
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,400
I�ve got Lloyd George, the Kaiser,

290
00:22:16,331 --> 00:22:19,031
and Olive Banks.

291
00:22:19,016 --> 00:22:20,216
Who�s she?

292
00:22:20,263 --> 00:22:22,863
She got bunked last term
from the convent.

293
00:22:22,852 --> 00:22:25,952
The Reverend Mother found something
she�d been writing.

294
00:22:28,702 --> 00:22:31,302
If you weren�t an agnostic,

295
00:22:31,291 --> 00:22:34,791
I should ask you for five shillings
to buy a black goddaughter.

296
00:22:36,757 --> 00:22:39,157
Nothing would surprise me
about your religion.

297
00:22:39,154 --> 00:22:41,754
It�s a new thing
that a priest started last term.

298
00:22:41,743 --> 00:22:45,343
You send five bob
to some nuns in Africa

299
00:22:45,291 --> 00:22:48,491
and they christen a baby
and name her after you.

300
00:22:49,894 --> 00:22:52,094
I�ve got six black Cordelias.

301
00:22:54,113 --> 00:22:55,713
Isn�t that lovely?

302
00:23:06,196 --> 00:23:11,996
<i>That night I began to realise
how little I really knew of Sebastian,</i>

303
00:23:11,854 --> 00:23:17,654
<i>and to understand why he had always sought
to keep me apart from the rest of his life.</i>

304
00:23:17,511 --> 00:23:21,411
<i>He was like a friend made on
board ship, on the high seas;</i>

305
00:23:21,347 --> 00:23:23,747
<i>now we had come to his home port.</i>

306
00:23:23,744 --> 00:23:26,244
Sorry I�ve been ignoring you.

307
00:23:26,238 --> 00:23:29,338
Bridey�s got all these papers
he wants me to take to Papa.

308
00:23:31,991 --> 00:23:34,391
I�d had a nice talk with Cordelia.

309
00:23:34,388 --> 00:23:36,488
She�s going to pray for me.

310
00:23:36,498 --> 00:23:39,198
She made a novena for her pig.

311
00:23:39,183 --> 00:23:40,883
Now, come on. We must pack.

312
00:23:40,909 --> 00:23:43,409
I�ve decided you�d better
come to Venice with me.

313
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,620
But that�s absurd,
I haven�t got any money.

314
00:23:47,622 --> 00:23:50,522
I�ve thought of that.
We live off papa when we�re there.

315
00:23:50,499 --> 00:23:54,399
The lawyers pay my fare �
plus first class and sleeper.

316
00:23:54,334 --> 00:23:56,234
We can both travel third for that.

317
00:23:58,074 --> 00:24:00,174
You see, it�s fixed.

318
00:24:01,718 --> 00:24:05,518
- But I haven�t got any clothes for Venice.
- Oh, Charles...

319
00:24:31,349 --> 00:24:34,749
<i>And so Sebastian and I came to Venice.</i>

320
00:24:36,144 --> 00:24:38,744
<i>We had travelled
on the long cheap route</i>

321
00:24:38,733 --> 00:24:41,333
<i>by boat and train,
on wooden seats,</i>

322
00:24:41,322 --> 00:24:45,622
<i>in hot carriages filled with
peasants and the smell of garlic,</i>

323
00:24:45,541 --> 00:24:50,541
<i>as the sun mounted higher
and the country began to glow with heat.</i>

324
00:25:02,610 --> 00:25:04,210
You�ve been here before?

325
00:25:06,158 --> 00:25:07,358
No.

326
00:25:08,748 --> 00:25:12,048
I came once from the sea.

327
00:25:12,008 --> 00:25:13,908
This is the way to arrive.

328
00:25:43,461 --> 00:25:44,961
- Hello, Plender.
- Hello, my Lord.

329
00:25:44,995 --> 00:25:47,095
- How are you?
- Very well, thank you.

330
00:25:47,105 --> 00:25:48,905
- Mr Ryder.
- How do you do, sir?

331
00:25:48,927 --> 00:25:51,827
- How do you do?
- We expected you on the morning express.

332
00:25:51,804 --> 00:25:54,004
His Lordship thought you must
have looked up the train wrong.

333
00:25:54,009 --> 00:25:56,209
Ah, well. We came third.

334
00:25:59,379 --> 00:26:01,979
His Lordship said to tell you
that he was at the Lido.

335
00:26:01,968 --> 00:26:03,268
Did he?

336
00:26:56,436 --> 00:26:59,236
This is your room, my Lord,
the one you had before.

337
00:27:00,751 --> 00:27:02,251
Right, thank you.

338
00:27:02,285 --> 00:27:04,785
Mr Ryder, you�re next door.

339
00:27:44,095 --> 00:27:46,295
Mosquito.

340
00:27:46,300 --> 00:27:47,900
Mostica not now.

341
00:27:52,438 --> 00:27:53,638
Make hot wash.

342
00:27:55,123 --> 00:27:56,523
If I may, sir.

343
00:28:18,041 --> 00:28:21,441
It�s this Venetian plumbing, my Lord.
It�s not to be trusted.

344
00:28:21,397 --> 00:28:23,597
I�ll get some hot water.

345
00:28:46,234 --> 00:28:48,734
- A bit bleak.
- Bleak?

346
00:28:51,700 --> 00:28:52,900
Come here.

347
00:28:56,398 --> 00:28:57,698
Now, look at that.

348
00:29:00,618 --> 00:29:03,618
I don�t think you could call it bleak.

349
00:29:13,084 --> 00:29:15,284
- Hot wash?
- Not so hot wash.

350
00:29:21,235 --> 00:29:23,035
Better look respectable to meet Papa.

351
00:29:24,208 --> 00:29:27,308
- Plender, is my father alone?
- At the moment, my Lord, yes.

352
00:29:27,276 --> 00:29:29,176
Good.
Charles, we needn�t dress for dinner.

353
00:30:16,565 --> 00:30:19,165
Darling papa.

354
00:30:19,154 --> 00:30:21,354
Goodness, how young you�re looking!

355
00:30:23,086 --> 00:30:24,786
This is Charles, papa.

356
00:30:24,812 --> 00:30:27,312
Charles, don�t you think
my father very handsome?

357
00:30:29,511 --> 00:30:31,911
- How do you do?
- How do you do, sir?

358
00:30:31,908 --> 00:30:35,608
Whoever looked up your train
made a b�tise. There�s no such one.

359
00:30:35,552 --> 00:30:38,752
- We came on it.
- You can�t have done.

360
00:30:38,717 --> 00:30:42,217
Only a slow train from Milan
at that time.

361
00:30:42,169 --> 00:30:44,169
I�ve just been to the Lido.

362
00:30:44,183 --> 00:30:46,483
I�ve taken to playing tennis there
with a professional

363
00:30:46,484 --> 00:30:47,784
in the early part of the evening.

364
00:30:47,827 --> 00:30:50,127
It is the only time of day
when it�s not too hot.

365
00:30:50,128 --> 00:30:53,028
How very energetic of you, papa.

366
00:30:53,005 --> 00:30:55,205
I hope you boys will be comfortable.

367
00:30:55,210 --> 00:30:58,010
My room�s wonderful.

368
00:30:57,991 --> 00:31:02,191
This house was built
for the comfort of one person only.

369
00:31:02,115 --> 00:31:05,015
I am that person,
and I have a room this size

370
00:31:04,992 --> 00:31:07,392
and a very splendid
dressing-room besides.

371
00:31:07,389 --> 00:31:12,089
And Cara has taken possession
of the only other sizeable room.

372
00:31:13,718 --> 00:31:15,918
- How is she?
- Cara?

373
00:31:15,923 --> 00:31:20,823
Oh, she�s gone to visit some Americans
at a villa on the Brenta canal.

374
00:31:20,718 --> 00:31:23,118
She�ll be back with us tomorrow.

375
00:31:23,115 --> 00:31:25,515
So what shall we do tonight, papa?

376
00:31:25,513 --> 00:31:29,213
Oh, we could go to the Luna,

377
00:31:29,157 --> 00:31:32,557
though it�s getting very filled up
with English people now,

378
00:31:32,513 --> 00:31:35,513
or would it be too dull to stay here?

379
00:31:35,486 --> 00:31:37,886
Cara is bound
to want to go out tomorrow.

380
00:31:37,883 --> 00:31:40,683
No, no. That would be lovely.

381
00:31:40,664 --> 00:31:46,264
Well, we dine at eight.
We could go out and have a drink first.

382
00:31:54,281 --> 00:31:58,281
<i>I had been full of curiosity
to meet Lord Marchmain.</i>

383
00:31:58,212 --> 00:32:02,812
<i>When I did so
I was first struck by his normality,</i>

384
00:32:02,719 --> 00:32:06,219
<i>which, as I saw more of him,
I found to be studied.</i>

385
00:32:06,171 --> 00:32:08,671
<i>It was as though he were
conscious of a Byronic aura,</i>

386
00:32:08,665 --> 00:32:12,165
<i>which he considered to be in bad taste
and was at pains to suppress.</i>

387
00:32:13,555 --> 00:32:17,955
Why, I wonder, are the Italians always
supposed to be so good at sweets?

388
00:32:19,117 --> 00:32:22,517
We had an Italian pastry-cook
at Brideshead until my father�s day.

389
00:32:22,473 --> 00:32:25,573
Then we changed to an Austrian,
so much better.

390
00:32:27,076 --> 00:32:31,476
Now, I suppose, there is a British matron
with beefy forearms.

391
00:32:33,885 --> 00:32:36,385
How do you two propose
to spend your time here?

392
00:32:36,378 --> 00:32:38,578
Bathing or sight-seeing?

393
00:32:41,077 --> 00:32:44,077
Well, I should like to do
some sight-seeing.

394
00:32:44,049 --> 00:32:47,049
Cara will love that.
You can�t do both, you know.

395
00:32:47,022 --> 00:32:49,722
Charles is very keen on painting.

396
00:32:49,707 --> 00:32:52,407
- Yes?
- Yes.

397
00:32:52,392 --> 00:32:54,892
Any particular Venetian painter?

398
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:59,770
Bellini.

399
00:32:59,776 --> 00:33:02,276
Ah, which one?

400
00:33:02,269 --> 00:33:03,869
I didn�t know there were two.

401
00:33:05,434 --> 00:33:07,834
There are three, to be precise.

402
00:33:07,831 --> 00:33:10,731
Painting then was very much
a family business.

403
00:33:13,489 --> 00:33:15,689
How was England when you left?

404
00:33:16,845 --> 00:33:19,345
It�s been lovely this summer.

405
00:33:19,338 --> 00:33:20,938
Was it?

406
00:33:22,790 --> 00:33:24,290
Was it?

407
00:33:25,955 --> 00:33:30,055
It�s my tragedy that I abominate
the English countryside.

408
00:33:29,982 --> 00:33:33,282
I suppose it�s very wrong
to inherit great responsibilities

409
00:33:33,243 --> 00:33:35,843
and be entirely indifferent to them.

410
00:33:35,832 --> 00:33:38,332
I am all that the Socialists
would have me be,

411
00:33:38,325 --> 00:33:43,325
and a great stumbling-block
to my own party.

412
00:33:43,216 --> 00:33:48,716
However, no doubt my elder son
will change all that,

413
00:33:48,586 --> 00:33:51,386
if they leave him anything to inherit.

414
00:34:21,285 --> 00:34:23,185
He�s rather a poppet, isn�t he?

415
00:34:25,025 --> 00:34:29,625
Don�t worry.
He�s really very sweet underneath.

416
00:34:29,532 --> 00:34:32,432
He does frighten me a bit.

417
00:34:32,409 --> 00:34:34,509
You�ll soon get used to that.

418
00:34:36,724 --> 00:34:38,924
Well, shall we walk, or take a cab?

419
00:34:40,176 --> 00:34:41,776
Oh, I think a cab.

420
00:34:55,615 --> 00:34:57,815
Where do you want to go?

421
00:34:59,355 --> 00:35:01,355
I�ll show you something
very, very special.

422
00:35:01,369 --> 00:35:03,569
The Bridge of Sighs, St Marks...

423
00:35:29,657 --> 00:35:33,257
<i>Lord Marchmain�s mistress
appeared the next day.</i>

424
00:35:33,205 --> 00:35:36,505
- Buon giorno, Cara.
- Buon giorno.

425
00:35:36,466 --> 00:35:38,866
<i>I was completely ignorant of women</i>

426
00:35:38,863 --> 00:35:43,463
<i>and could not with any certainty
recognise a prostitute in the streets.</i>

427
00:35:43,370 --> 00:35:45,770
<i>I was not, therefore,
indifferent to the fact</i>

428
00:35:45,767 --> 00:35:48,867
<i>of living under the same roof
as an adulterous couple.</i>

429
00:35:48,836 --> 00:35:52,036
<i>But I was old enough
to hide my interest.</i>

430
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,700
<i>Lord Marchmain�s mistress, therefore,</i>

431
00:35:53,726 --> 00:35:57,826
<i>found me with a multitude of
conflicting expectations about her,</i>

432
00:35:57,754 --> 00:36:00,854
<i>all of which were, for the moment,
disappointed by her appearance.</i>

433
00:36:00,823 --> 00:36:03,723
How lovely to see you, Sebastian.

434
00:36:05,234 --> 00:36:07,834
- You must be Charles.
- How do you do?

435
00:36:11,659 --> 00:36:12,859
My dear.

436
00:36:14,248 --> 00:36:18,548
Alex, Vittoria Corombona
has asked us to her ball.

437
00:36:18,467 --> 00:36:19,967
Shall we accept?

438
00:36:20,001 --> 00:36:24,201
Very kind of her.
But, as you know, I do not dance.

439
00:36:24,125 --> 00:36:26,225
No, but for the boys?

440
00:36:26,234 --> 00:36:28,734
It is a thing to be seen �
the Corombonna Palace,

441
00:36:28,728 --> 00:36:30,428
lit up for a ball.

442
00:36:30,454 --> 00:36:34,654
And one does not know how many
such balls there will be in the future.

443
00:36:34,577 --> 00:36:37,977
The boys must do as they like,
but we must refuse.

444
00:36:40,522 --> 00:36:42,922
And I have asked Mrs Hacking Brunner
to luncheon.

445
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:48,320
She has a charming daughter.
Sebastian and his friend will like her.

446
00:36:48,194 --> 00:36:53,994
Sebastian and his friend are more
interested in Bellini than heiresses.

447
00:36:53,852 --> 00:36:56,752
Oh, but that�s what I�ve always wished.

448
00:36:56,728 --> 00:36:59,428
I have been here
more times than I can count

449
00:36:59,413 --> 00:37:03,213
and Alex has never let me
inside San Marco even.

450
00:37:03,153 --> 00:37:05,253
Let�s become tourists.

451
00:37:05,263 --> 00:37:09,663
There�s an extraordinary little man,
Daisy Guzzoli�s uncle,

452
00:37:09,578 --> 00:37:11,878
he knows everybody.

453
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,080
He�ll make a marvellous guide.

454
00:37:30,003 --> 00:37:35,303
And now, off to see our works of art.
Tiepolo, Tinteretto, Bellini...

455
00:37:35,182 --> 00:37:37,882
<i>So we became tourists.</i>

456
00:37:37,867 --> 00:37:41,967
<i>All doors were open to Cara�s
little Venetian nobleman.</i>

457
00:37:41,894 --> 00:37:45,594
<i>With him and a guide book
she came with us,</i>

458
00:37:45,538 --> 00:37:48,538
<i>flagging sometimes,
but never giving up.</i>

459
00:37:48,511 --> 00:37:53,511
<i>A neat, prosaic figure amid the
immense splendours of the place.</i>

460
00:38:08,648 --> 00:38:11,148
<i>As a child I had no religion.</i>

461
00:38:11,142 --> 00:38:15,942
<i>I was taken to church weekly,
and at school attended chapel daily,</i>

462
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,740
<i>but, as though in compensation,</i>

463
00:38:17,758 --> 00:38:22,858
<i>from the time I went to my public school
I was excused church on the holidays.</i>

464
00:38:22,745 --> 00:38:26,945
<i>The view implicit in my education was
that the basic narrative of Christianity</i>

465
00:38:26,868 --> 00:38:29,968
<i>had long been exposed as a myth.</i>

466
00:38:29,937 --> 00:38:31,637
<i>And that opinion was now divided</i>

467
00:38:31,663 --> 00:38:35,463
<i>as to whether its ethical teaching
was of present value.</i>

468
00:38:35,403 --> 00:38:38,003
<i>A division in which
the main weight went against it.</i>

469
00:38:40,293 --> 00:38:44,693
<i>Religion was a hobby which some people
professed and others did not.</i>

470
00:38:44,608 --> 00:38:47,308
<i>At the best, it was slightly ornamental.</i>

471
00:38:47,294 --> 00:38:52,794
<i>At the worst, it was the province
of complexes and inhibitions.</i>

472
00:38:52,664 --> 00:38:55,264
<i>Catchwords of the decade,</i>

473
00:38:55,253 --> 00:38:59,053
<i>and of the intolerance,
hypocrisy, and sheer stupidity</i>

474
00:38:58,992 --> 00:39:01,592
<i>attributed to it for centuries.</i>

475
00:39:02,636 --> 00:39:05,736
<i>No one had ever suggested to me
that these quaint observances</i>

476
00:39:05,705 --> 00:39:09,005
<i>expressed a coherent
philosophical system,</i>

477
00:39:08,965 --> 00:39:12,565
<i>and in transigents historical claims.</i>

478
00:39:12,513 --> 00:39:16,613
<i>Nor, had they done so,
would I have been much interested.</i>

479
00:39:36,679 --> 00:39:39,479
<i>My father did not go to church</i>

480
00:39:39,460 --> 00:39:43,160
<i>except on family occasions
and then with derision.</i>

481
00:39:45,980 --> 00:39:49,280
<i>My mother, I think, was devout.</i>

482
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,200
<i>It once seemed odd to me that she
should have thought it her duty</i>

483
00:39:53,172 --> 00:39:57,172
<i>to leave my father and me and go off
with an ambulance, to Serbia,</i>

484
00:39:57,104 --> 00:40:00,304
<i>to die of exhaustion
in the snow in Bosnia.</i>

485
00:40:01,323 --> 00:40:04,823
<i>But I later recognised
some such spirit in myself.</i>

486
00:40:07,173 --> 00:40:09,573
<i>Later, too, I have come
to accept claims</i>

487
00:40:09,570 --> 00:40:15,670
<i>which, then in 1923,
I never troubled to examine,</i>

488
00:40:15,515 --> 00:40:19,315
<i>and to accept
the supernatural as the real.</i>

489
00:40:22,036 --> 00:40:25,736
<i>But I was aware of no such needs
that summer.</i>

490
00:40:37,954 --> 00:40:41,154
<i>Some days life kept pace
with the gondola,</i>

491
00:40:41,119 --> 00:40:43,719
<i>as we nosed through the side-canals</i>

492
00:40:43,708 --> 00:40:49,408
<i>and the boatman uttered his plaintive
musical bird-cry of warning;</i>

493
00:40:49,270 --> 00:40:52,370
<i>on other days with the speed-boat</i>

494
00:40:52,338 --> 00:40:56,038
<i>bouncing over the lagoon
in a stream of sun-lit foam.</i>

495
00:40:59,626 --> 00:41:04,226
<i>Every morning after breakfast,
Sebastian, Cara and I</i>

496
00:41:04,133 --> 00:41:06,933
<i>would leave the palace
by the street door</i>

497
00:41:06,914 --> 00:41:12,014
<i>and wander through a maze of bridges
and squares and alleys,</i>

498
00:41:11,901 --> 00:41:15,101
<i>for Florian�s for coffee,</i>

499
00:41:15,065 --> 00:41:21,865
<i>and watched the grave crowds crossing
and recrossing under the campanile.</i>

500
00:41:21,682 --> 00:41:26,782
<i>I was drowning in honey, stingless.</i>

501
00:42:27,081 --> 00:42:30,581
<i>The fortnight at Venice
passed quickly and sweetly,</i>

502
00:42:30,533 --> 00:42:32,733
<i>perhaps too sweetly.</i>

503
00:42:34,081 --> 00:42:38,681
<i>it left a confused memory
of fierce sunlight on the sands,</i>

504
00:42:38,588 --> 00:42:42,088
<i>of cool, marble interiors;</i>

505
00:42:42,041 --> 00:42:46,241
<i>of water everywhere,
lapping on smooth stone,</i>

506
00:42:46,164 --> 00:42:51,064
<i>reflected in a dapple of light
on painted ceilings;</i>

507
00:42:50,959 --> 00:42:54,659
<i>of a night at the Corombona Palace
such as Byron might have known.</i>

508
00:42:57,383 --> 00:43:01,183
<i>I remember most particularly one
conversation towards the end of my visit.</i>

509
00:43:02,753 --> 00:43:05,253
<i>Sebastian had gone
to play tennis with his father,</i>

510
00:43:05,247 --> 00:43:09,447
<i>and Cara at last
admitted to fatigue.</i>

511
00:43:09,370 --> 00:43:11,770
<i>We sat in the late afternoon</i>

512
00:43:11,767 --> 00:43:15,767
<i>at the windows
overlooking the Grand Canal.</i>

513
00:43:15,699 --> 00:43:18,499
<i>It was the first time
we had been alone together.</i>

514
00:43:19,631 --> 00:43:22,131
I think you�re very fond of Sebastian.

515
00:43:25,001 --> 00:43:26,301
Certainly.

516
00:43:28,836 --> 00:43:32,236
I know of these romantic friendships
of the English and the Germans.

517
00:43:33,919 --> 00:43:36,419
They are not Latin.

518
00:43:36,412 --> 00:43:41,112
I think they are very good
if they don�t go on too long.

519
00:43:43,508 --> 00:43:48,708
It�s a kind of love that comes to children
before they know its meaning.

520
00:43:48,591 --> 00:43:53,891
In England it comes a little later,
when you are almost men.

521
00:43:54,824 --> 00:43:56,024
I think I like that.

522
00:43:58,563 --> 00:44:02,963
I think it�s better to have this first
kind of love for a boy than for a girl.

523
00:44:07,577 --> 00:44:11,977
Alex, you see, had it for a girl,
his wife.

524
00:44:16,495 --> 00:44:19,495
Do you think he loves me?

525
00:44:19,468 --> 00:44:24,268
Really, Cara, you do ask
the most embarrassing questions.

526
00:44:24,167 --> 00:44:27,067
How should I know?

527
00:44:27,044 --> 00:44:29,544
I assume...

528
00:44:31,743 --> 00:44:35,843
He does not.
But not the littlest piece.

529
00:44:37,113 --> 00:44:39,513
But then why does he stay with you?

530
00:44:39,510 --> 00:44:42,610
Because I protect him
from Lady Marchmain.

531
00:44:42,578 --> 00:44:45,578
He hates her.

532
00:44:45,551 --> 00:44:48,951
But you can have no conception
how he hates her.

533
00:44:50,921 --> 00:44:53,421
My friend, he is a volcano of hate.

534
00:44:55,045 --> 00:44:58,345
He can�t breathe the same air as she.

535
00:44:58,305 --> 00:45:01,405
He won�t set foot in England
because it�s her home.

536
00:45:02,908 --> 00:45:06,608
He can scarcely be happy with Sebastian
because he�s her son.

537
00:45:09,812 --> 00:45:12,712
But Sebastian hates her, too.

538
00:45:12,689 --> 00:45:14,689
Oh no, I think you�re wrong there.

539
00:45:14,703 --> 00:45:16,903
He may not admit it to you.

540
00:45:18,634 --> 00:45:20,834
He may not admit it to himself.

541
00:45:22,758 --> 00:45:24,958
They are full of hate.

542
00:45:27,361 --> 00:45:30,861
Hate of themselves.

543
00:45:30,813 --> 00:45:33,313
Alex and his family.

544
00:45:35,895 --> 00:45:38,195
And how has she deserved all this hate?

545
00:45:39,923 --> 00:45:44,323
She�s done nothing except to be loved
by someone who was not grown up.

546
00:45:46,539 --> 00:45:49,939
When people hate
with all that energy,

547
00:45:49,896 --> 00:45:52,396
it is something in themselves
they are hating.

548
00:45:54,403 --> 00:45:57,403
Alex is hating
all the illusions of boyhood �

549
00:45:58,430 --> 00:46:02,530
innocence, God, hope.

550
00:46:09,266 --> 00:46:14,266
Sebastian is in love
with his own childhood.

551
00:46:15,499 --> 00:46:19,299
That will make him very unhappy.

552
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:24,339
His teddy-bear, his nanny,

553
00:46:24,225 --> 00:46:26,725
and he is nineteen years old.

554
00:46:34,294 --> 00:46:37,694
How good it is to sit in the shade
and talk of love.

555
00:46:39,568 --> 00:46:41,468
Come, let�s go and meet them.

556
00:48:17,955 --> 00:48:21,655
Sebastian drinks too much.

557
00:48:21,599 --> 00:48:23,699
I suppose we both do.

558
00:48:23,709 --> 00:48:28,509
Oh, with you it doesn�t matter.
I�ve watched you together.

559
00:48:28,407 --> 00:48:31,607
With Sebastian it�s different.

560
00:48:31,572 --> 00:48:35,872
He�ll become a drunkard if someone
doesn�t come to stop him.

561
00:48:35,791 --> 00:48:38,591
I have known so many.

562
00:48:38,572 --> 00:48:42,072
Alex was nearly a drunkard
when I met him.

563
00:48:42,024 --> 00:48:44,024
It�s in the blood.

564
00:48:44,038 --> 00:48:48,438
I see it in the way Sebastian drinks.
It�s not your way.

565
00:49:01,395 --> 00:49:02,895
Cara!

566
00:49:04,559 --> 00:49:06,559
English weather!

567
00:49:06,573 --> 00:49:09,773
Well, thank God,
it�s driven the English away.

568
00:49:13,286 --> 00:49:17,086
It is sad, for the boys� last day.

569
00:49:35,053 --> 00:49:38,253
<i>We arrived back
the day before term began.</i>

570
00:49:38,218 --> 00:49:42,218
<i>On the way from Charing Cross I dropped
Sebastian in front of Marchmain house �</i>

571
00:49:42,149 --> 00:49:45,649
<i>his family�s London home
on the edge of Green Park.</i>

572
00:49:46,944 --> 00:49:48,244
Good morning, Austin.

573
00:49:54,711 --> 00:49:57,011
Well, �Marchers�.

574
00:49:58,164 --> 00:50:01,564
I won�t ask you in because the place
is probably full of my family.

575
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,020
See you in Oxford.

576
00:50:04,876 --> 00:50:06,776
Have a good journey up tomorrow.

577
00:50:25,781 --> 00:50:28,781
<i>The taxi took me all alone to Bayswater,</i>

578
00:50:28,754 --> 00:50:33,454
<i>where my father greeted me
with his usual air of mild regret.</i>

579
00:50:33,356 --> 00:50:39,256
Here today and gone tomorrow.
I seem to see very little of you.

580
00:50:39,110 --> 00:50:43,810
Perhaps it�s dull for you here.
How else could it be otherwise?

581
00:50:45,631 --> 00:50:48,931
Have you enjoyed yourself?

582
00:50:48,891 --> 00:50:50,391
Very much.

583
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:55,880
- I went to Venice.
- Yes. Yes. I suppose so.

584
00:50:55,796 --> 00:50:59,196
- The weather was fine?
- Yes, father.

585
00:51:03,563 --> 00:51:07,763
That friend you were so
concerned about, did he die?

586
00:51:09,412 --> 00:51:11,412
No. I went to Venice with him.

587
00:51:11,426 --> 00:51:15,226
I�m very thankful.
You should have written to tell me.

588
00:51:15,166 --> 00:51:17,366
I worried about him so much.

589
