1
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,720
This film contains
some strong language
2
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,920
and some scenes
of a sexual nature.
3
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,600
I want you. I want YOU!
4
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,880
SHE SIGHS
5
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,280
'Iris!'
6
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,240
Iris, wait for me! Just keep tight
hold of me and it'll be all right!
7
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:03,280
You won't keep still!
I can't keep still!
I can't catch up with you!
8
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,400
Speed up! Oh! Whoa!
9
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,400
IRIS SCREAMS, JOHN LAUGHS
10
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,520
CHURCH BELL TOLLS
11
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:30,440
Iris, you've got
bicycle oil on your ankle.
I don't care, John. Oh.
12
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,880
Those of you, our guests, on whose
magnificent generosity we depend,
13
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,000
we really are most
frightfully grateful,
14
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,360
will need no introduction to one
of our most distinguished graduates,
15
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,720
and an honorary fellow,
Dame Iris Murdoch.
16
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,560
She's a noted philosopher,
as well as author of some 26 novels,
17
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:58,200
and we're honoured to have her
with us today, and the distinguished
Warton Professor of Literature,
18
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,320
who has the great good fortune
19
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,320
of being married to her.
20
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,320
HE WHISPERS, AUDIENCE LAUGHS
21
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,960
I need say no more,
for good wine needs no bush,
22
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:12,640
but she will not mind comparison
with, say,
a really fine vintage claret.
23
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,680
LAUGHTER
24
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,120
Dame Iris will speak to you
about the importance of education.
25
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:36,000
Education doesn't make you happy,
and nor does freedom.
26
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:41,520
We don't become happy just because
we're free, if we are,
27
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,640
or because we've been educated,
if we have,
28
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,880
but because education
may be the means
by which we realise we are happy.
29
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,960
It opens our eyes, our ears,
30
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,200
tells us where
delights are lurking,
31
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,640
convinces us that
there is only one freedom
32
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,120
of any importance whatsoever -
that of the mind -
33
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,800
and gives us the assurance,
the confidence,
34
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,240
to walk the path our mind,
our educated mind, offers.
35
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,760
# I shall tell him all my love
36
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,120
# All my soul's adoration
37
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,160
# And I think he will hear me
38
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,440
# And will not say me nay
39
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,480
# It is this that gives my soul
40
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,320
# All its joyous elation
41
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,960
# As I hear the sweet lark sing
42
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:49,640
# In the clear air of the day. #
43
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,760
Of course there's something fishy
about describing people's feelings!
44
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,280
Try to be accurate, but when you
define it, language lets you down.
45
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:02,720
When we really speak the truth,
words are insufficient.
46
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,840
Almost everything, except
things like, "Pass the gravy,"
is a lie of a sort.
47
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:11,440
That being the case,
48
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:11,440
I shall shut up.
49
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:11,440
PEOPLE LAUGH
50
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,480
Oh, and pass the gravy.
51
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,480
MORE LAUGHTER
52
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,600
But love...
53
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,600
BUZZ OF CONVERSATION
54
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:27,600
..and real love, extreme love,
once recognised, has the stamp...
Ah, John. Meet Miss Murdoch.
55
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,680
Iris, my dear - John Bayley,
one of the more promising lecturers
in the English school,
56
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,960
though I caught him out
over Old English grammar.
His weakness, I fear.
57
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,280
A minor question of syntax...
58
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,280
SHE WALKS AWAY
59
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:44,120
Wine...
60
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:44,120
HE COUGHS
61
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,200
I mean...went down the wrong way.
COUGHING CONTINUES
62
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,840
Yes, I like that.
There is a right way down.
63
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:57,280
Amazing how most of us find it
without even thinking about it...
I-I rarely think.
64
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:02,520
If you think about it,
you won't find it.
Best to trust the body. I do.
65
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,280
OLDER IRIS:
Human beings love each other.
66
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:10,320
In sex, in friendship,
and when they're in love.
67
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,160
And they cherish other beings -
68
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:18,160
humans, animals,
plants, even stones.
69
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,920
The quest for happiness
and the promotion of happiness
is in all of this,
70
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,680
and the power of our imagination.
71
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:33,320
I'm writing a n-novel. I don't
suppose you'd have the time or the
inclination to r-read the n-novel.
72
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,360
I've written one.
It's going to be published.
73
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,400
And I'm writing another.
Oh? C-can I read it?
74
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,440
No-one has read it.
None of my friends.
75
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,120
What's it about? About?
76
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,160
It has something for everyone.
A b-bit like Shakespeare?
77
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,880
Perhaps, yes. Please don't
talk to anyone about it.
78
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,400
N-no! Of course not!
I won't t-tell a soul!
79
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,280
Every human soul has seen,
perhaps even before their birth...
80
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,880
..pure forms,
such as justice, temperance,
81
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,320
beauty, and all the great moral
qualities which we hold in honour.
82
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:26,960
We are moved towards what is good
by the faint memory of these forms.
83
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,160
Simple, and calm and blessed,
84
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,920
which we saw once
in a pure clear light,
85
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,440
being pure ourselves.
86
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,000
JINGLE ON TANNOY
FOLLOWED BY ANNOUNCEMENT
87
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,840
Wholegrain. Do we have
wholegrain or something other?
88
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,680
What is whole?
Something in itself or with parts?
89
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:54,120
Spaghetti. If you have a whole,
you have a whole. Sausages.
90
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,880
We are a whole. If you toddle off,
there's a hole in it, or if I do.
91
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,360
A whole can't be broken. It just
forms another whole. Beans. Beans!
92
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,880
Do you want premium points?
Do we deserve them?!
Do you want bags? Bags, yes.
93
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,440
It's all around us -
people like us talking nonsense.
94
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,760
I know! I know! Bag for life?
For life?! That's what it says.
95
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:23,200
We have to ask - give you
the choice. Ooh, rather! You just
have to listen. That's the job.
96
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,320
You call it a job.
It's like music, what you do.
97
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,400
You live with angels, speak their
language, the music of the spheres.
98
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,160
The fact is the only language
anyone understands is pictures.
99
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,800
Paint the picture!
100
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,640
See? Now I'm bagged for life.
101
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,640
THEY LAUGH
102
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,680
Love's the only language
everyone understands. Love, yes!
103
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:49,400
I can read it,
but I can't speak it!
104
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,120
Ooh! Ooh!
I'm caught on your chair.
105
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:14,320
Captain says, "Two weevils drop
out of a biscuit - which would you
rather have?" The bigger one, sir.
106
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:20,000
"Wrong, Mr Smith, wrong.
In the Navy, you should choose
the lesser of the two weevils."
107
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,640
Patrick O'Brien.
"Between two evils, choose the one
you haven't tried." Mae West.
108
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,600
Oh, my vest! I tore my vest today!
We must get some new vests. Good.
109
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,120
We must get some new vests.
110
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,800
I just said that.
111
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,960
You're always saying that you just
said something. Me, too!
112
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,600
Good job you reminded me I had
two lectures today. You remembered?
113
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,640
No, only to apologise for the one
I forgot. They were sweet about it.
114
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,000
Glad not to have to listen to you,
I expect. Oh, I'm sure!
115
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,040
They'd have been delighted
to have listened to you.
I always have been.
116
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,160
THUNDER RUMBLES
117
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,680
Iris! John! Eugh!
118
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,120
Thank you. Keep the change
..Janet! Janet!
119
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,640
Oh, my God! Iris!
120
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,880
Am I late?!
121
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,520
Oh, no! It's the hokey cokey!
Everything will be over!
122
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,640
John, wait! My stocking! Oh, dear!
123
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,840
MUSIC STARTS
124
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,840
Stupid thing!
125
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,360
MUSIC:
INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF "Sway"
126
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,760
Sorry.
127
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,920
# Cha-cha-cha!
Cha-cha-cha! Cha-cha-cha! #
128
00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:58,040
Oh!
129
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,840
# Cha-cha-cha... #
130
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,280
Thank you. You, too.
131
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,680
That was my husband.
132
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,760
Are you with Iris?
133
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:23,640
H-H-Hoping so! You know we have...
I thought we had. ..nearly met.
134
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:29,360
Are you a friend of Iris? Yes!
135
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:29,360
She seems to have a lot of...
136
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:29,360
IRIS HUMS ALONG WITH THE TUNE
137
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,360
IRIS SQUEALS AND LAUGHS
138
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:38,040
Janet Stone. John Bayley!
How do you do? H-how do you do?
139
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,640
Shall we? What are your rooms like?
140
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:45,680
Adequate, thank you.
I'd like to see them. Oh?!
141
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:48,040
BUZZ OF CONVERSATION
142
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,640
Do you have a lot of friends?
Is a list of my friends necessary?
143
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:57,360
I-I just wondered if you had many.
There aren't many people that
one wants to know one. Do you...?
144
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,280
SHE SCREAMS
145
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,280
Iris!
146
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,680
SHE LAUGHS
147
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,600
You might f-fall. Would you like
some champagne? That would be nice.
148
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,640
I've had some since Christmas.
It does keep, doesn't it?
149
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,560
I sh-shouldn't be doing this.
150
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:29,800
What? Having women in my room.
It's not p-permitted.
151
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,040
I wouldn't say
you'd had me exactly.
152
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,560
Have you danced before?
It was all right, wasn't it?
153
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:45,000
Oh, I think so.
It b-broke the ice, so to speak.
154
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,120
Ice! What?
155
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,160
Oh, it'll do.
156
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,680
Aren't you particular
about words at your college?
157
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:57,120
I-I'm only here on a sufferance,
really, as a tutor and guide.
158
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,520
I get all the Americans
and Frenchmen to m-mother.
159
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,840
You love words, don't you?
160
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,520
If one doesn't have words,
how does one think?
161
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:11,800
Shall I do that? Hmm...
162
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,240
W-What is your n-novel about?
163
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,080
About?
164
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,960
How to be free. How to be good.
165
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,160
CORK POPS
166
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,160
And how to love.
167
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,400
Well, that's all there is, I'd say.
168
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:35,960
Well, language is all very well,
you know, but it's not the only way
of understanding each other.
169
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,560
There's sight and smell and...
and touch, of course.
170
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,240
I-I love your nose.
171
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,480
It's snub.
172
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,440
Snubby.
173
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,680
(Snubby, snubby.)
174
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,560
(Snubby, snubby, snubby.)
175
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,080
Let me do that to you.
Take off your jacket.
176
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,880
If we were, as it were, m-married,
we could do this all the time.
177
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,720
Perhaps.
178
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,760
We should be doing it nearly
all the time. Yes, we...
179
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,640
Thank you.

Ah!
183
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,880
Stopping you working?
Yes, well, I don't mind.
184
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,560
How's it coming along?
185
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,600
It's harder to write than all the
others, much. Have you noticed?
186
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,680
Just that you've seemed...
puzzled every now and again.
187
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,720
That's it, yes.
188
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,400
Puzzled.
189
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,560
Puzz... Pu...
190
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,920
Puzzled. That's a funny word.
191
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:30,600
All words are like that when you
take them by surprise, aren't they?
192
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,880

00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,160
It's gone.
200
00:17:56,120 --> 00:17:57,720
Hmm.

204
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,680
Other people would tell us.

00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:13,400
You mean lesbians? Yes.
Would it bother you if they did?

The s-same thing happens with me,
with h-homosexuals, I mean.

Lord, no!
217
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:24,400
At the college, they're all,
as somebody once said to me,

"Old-fashioned lesbians

It's this way.
226
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:13,440
'She's written philosophy
and plays and poetry,'
227
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,960
but her novels
are her lasting literary legacy.
228
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:22,080
Iris Murdoch is acknowledged
as the foremost English novelist
of her generation.
229
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,320
A little excessive,
don't you think?
230
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,000
What do you reckon?
Shall I take that again?
231
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:34,440
Her novels embrace
the subjects of freedom
and what it means to be good...
232
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,680
Dame Iris? ..studies in the
successes and failures of love.
233
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,920
She's written philosophy
and plays and poetry,
but her novels are her lasting...
234
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,440
YOUNG IRIS:
People are very secretive,
and, for many reasons,
235
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,560
want to appear
what we call ordinary.
236
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:56,480
Everybody has thoughts
they want to conceal.
237
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,000
Perhaps even quite simple
aspects of their lives.
238
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,600
People have obsessions
and fears and passions
which they don't admit to.
239
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:10,960
I think any character
is interesting and has extremes.
240
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:17,640
It's a novelist's privilege
to...see how odd everyone is.
241
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,920
In your novels, you yourself are
very exact in your use of language.
242
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,080
But in general terms, do you think
the language is becoming debased?
243
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:33,560
Well, reading and writing
and the preservation
of language and its forms
244
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:40,200
and...the kind of eloquence
and the kind of beauty
that language is capable of
245
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:45,360
is something terribly important
to human beings, because...
246
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,280
..this is connected to thought.
247
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,920
If children are not taught...
248
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,760
W-What did you say? I was asking
about the importance of language.
249
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,520
'John!'
250
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,200
John?! John?! John?!
251
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,840
Iris?!
252
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,600
John?!
253
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,200
Oh, you're there! What is it?
I'm back. Earlier than I thought.
254
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,440
I came straight back.
I didn't know why I was there.
255
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,680
To do an interview.
What interview?! I don't know.
256
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,200
So, um... To see your publisher?
257
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,880
So... Was it your publisher?
So I came back.
258
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:05,640
I didn't expect you back...!
Is she around? You didn't answer.
Is Nora?! Iris, Nora's dead!
259
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:10,280
Oh, so she is! Oh, that is sad.
Oh, never mind.
260
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,840
It must've been Ed...before.
261
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,080
Oh, yes! My book!
262
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,760
Oh! So I came back.
263
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,040
What is, er...
the name of the Prime Minister?
264
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,120
Oh, me? Are you asking me?
Yes, I am.
265
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,520
I know. OK, what is the name
of the Prime Minister?
266
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,360
I don't know. Ask John.
Surely it doesn't matter.
267
00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:48,360
OK, well... No, not really.
Someone will know.
268
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:51,120
JOHN GIGGLES
269
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,360
Who would you like to see?
270
00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:58,400
Is there anyone...? I don't know!
Shall I look up some names?
271
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,040
Talk to someone? I have ideas,
but they won't come together.
272
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,560
It happens all the time -
forgetting names.
273
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,640
Um... Does it happen all the time?
274
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:14,280
Does she mean writer's block?
I suppose she does.
Iris can always write... I know.
275
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,520
Iris is a person...
But it doesn't work like...
276
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,360
Surely, in her case -
a woman with a first-class mind...
277
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:25,400
We'll have to be certain.
There'll have to be tests, scans.
278
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,440
I don't think I can... I mean,
it's a little beyond my competence.
279
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,680
Iris finds her new book
very tiring and difficult.
280
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,120
Basically, I'll arrange something.
Iris has a very clear mind.
281
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:41,240
Mine's a muddle, but not hers.
She does everything. Always has.
282
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,880
Food, shopping, tickets for things.
283
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,120
I never know how she m-manages
and does her b-books as well!
284
00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:50,720
Well, they can get you help.
285
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,480
N-No, no.
286
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,520
N-Nobody would suit.
We're a bit odd.
287
00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:00,360
There's a good place, a specialist
nursing home. Unnecessary. Not yet.
288
00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:02,880
I'm sorry. Not your fault.
289
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,520
Well, take care.
Goodbye, Doctor. Thank you.

00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,520
Iris?! I'm sure the country
won't go to the dogs.
293
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:19,080
Not knowing the Prime Minister is
not a capital offence. Absolutely!
I know the names that matter.
294
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:25,120
It'll be all right.
I will be, if you stop worrying.
I've got a book to finish.
295
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:28,560
Ah! Tony Blair! So there!
296
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,880
Iris, are you comfortable?
I'm going to start the scan now.
297
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,920
Just keep nice and still.
Try to relax.
298
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,200
It'll take about 15 minutes.
299
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,440
John! Janet. Sorry!
Is Iris still...?
300
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,480
I'm so sorry I'm late! I don't know
what's going to happen, Janet.
301
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:24,920

running. I won't be a mo.
Right. See you out there! Yes!

John, I'm frightened.
Everyone's doing their best.

Janet's got the car.
304
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,160
It'll...be...
305
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,680
It's done. You've finished?!
I thought you were close.
306
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,280
So far,
it hasn't made any difference.
307
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,800
Here's to it.
I'll just try and keep working.
308
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,600
You must! I will.
Here's to the next one.
309
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,440
Keep working, keep talking,
keep the words coming. Keep at it.
310
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,560
I'll be like a deprived animal if
I can't write, like a starved dog.
311
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,360
No, keep at it!
I'll keep you at it.
312
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,880

Thank you, Dame, Iris. Thank you.

So kind of you to come, Dame Iris.
Thank you, I like it.
Is it any help? To us? Yes.
327
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,120
It's...implacable.
What does that mean?
328
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,240
It means...inexorable.
I know what the word means.
329
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,880
Um, to me, to us.
330
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,920
You see?
Words have meant everything to her.
331
00:30:53,920 --> 00:31:00,120
They still mean something,
some thought. It can't just be
dead bird's dropping!

00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,120
I know what it means and...
it doesn't surprise me.
333
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,240
It frightens me, but then,
sometimes it doesn't frighten me,
334
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,440
and that's just as bad, because
that's it winning, isn't it?
335
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,280
N-n-no, no!
336
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,120
It's not! It won't win!
337
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:23,280
It WILL win. There - it will win.
338
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,000
That's very kind.
339
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,280
WOMAN SCREAMING
340
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,280
'Iris!'
341
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:40,920
Iris, wait for me! Just keep tight
hold of me and it'll be all right!
342
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:46,360
You won't keep still!
I can't keep still!
Oh, I can't catch up with you!
343
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,200
Speed up! Oh! Whoa!
344
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,200
IRIS SCREAMS, JOHN LAUGHS
345
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,880
THUNDER RUMBLES,
CAR DOOR SLAMS
346
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,240
Oh, good morning! Oh, no!
347
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,920
Er... I...
348
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:11,520
I think it's the...person
who brings the post, John!
349
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:16,160
Yes, it is. Yes. ..John?
..So sorry. Thank you.
350
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,800
Thank you very much indeed.
Thank you. So sorry.
351
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,920
Right.
352
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,280
Go on. Go on.
353
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,120
It's only the postman.
It's only the postman.
354
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,640
Don't repeat everything, puss.
It's only the postman.
355
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,160
It's for you! It's your book!
356
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,360
What's that?! Your book!
It's only the postman.
357
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:49,000
It's your book!
Isn't it perfectly splendid?!
358
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:54,280
Why don't you look at it?
It's only the postman.
359
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,360
CUPS CLINK
360
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,680
CRASH!
361
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,680
Oh, damn!
362
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,200
Stop nudging up to me
like a water buffalo!
363
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,240
I have a lot to do!
Lots to do, Iris!
364
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:17,120
See what I've done now?!
..It's not your fault. I'm sorry.
365
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:23,160
It's only the postman. Yes!
All right! It's only the postman!
Sorry, so sorry. Lots to do.
366
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,560
Which side do I go?
367
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,440
HE SIGHS
368
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:04,480
TONY BLAIR ON TV:
'Ask me my three
main priorities for government,'
369
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:10,240
and I tell you - education,
370
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:10,240
education and education.
371
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:10,240
APPLAUSE
372
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:13,760
John! John!
Why does he keep saying that?!
373
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,400
What does he mean?! By what?
374
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,240
Education, education, education!
375
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,560
It means learning
and getting enough of it.
376
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:30,400
Why does he keep saying it?!
Politicians have to repeat things
to make themselves heard.
377
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,480
They have to be like travellers
eating sheep's eyes with Bedouins -
378
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,320
they have to do anything
to make themselves liked.
379
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:43,560
Why does he want to eat a sheep's
ear? Shall I turn it off?
380
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,200
No!
381
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:50,840
We could go for a swim tomorrow,
if it's not raining.
No. Yes! You love water.
382
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,120
When you swim, you love it.
Swim? Swim is good for you.
383
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,400
When are we leaving? Not today.
384
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,480
Are we going to London?
No, we're going for a swim.
385
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,000
When are we leaving?
386
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,320
Not today.
387
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,800
When are we leaving?
388
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,280
Iris? Iris, wait for me!
389
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,280
You dirty old man! Hello!
390
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,120
There we go.
391
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,120
No, not with your socks on!
Your socks!
392
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:25,160
BOYS LAUGH
393
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:25,160
Come on! Come on! Come along!
394
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,200
Go on!
395
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:38,280
Ooh! Terribly...
396
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:38,280
HE MUMBLES AND LAUGHS
397
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,880
THEY SHOUT AND LAUGH
398
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,640
Ah!
399
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,760
Agh! Give me your hand. Agh!
..That's it. That's it.
400
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,000
No, no, don't!
You'll pull me in! Agh!
401
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,680
Are you all right?
402
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,680
SHE COUGHS
403
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,320
Hand up. Up with your hands.
Oh! Let's get you warm.
404
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,520
That's it. That's it.
405
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,840
Come on. That's you. No!
No, Iris! Iris! What?!
406
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,760
Put your hands like this.
Let's get your head... Let go!
407
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,320
Let go now! As soon as
we have your head in! No!
408
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,480
As soon as... Let go! Come on!
YOUNG IRIS: Where's my petticoat?
409
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,160
Here. Ah.
410
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,640
SHE RINGS THE BELL
Are you sure he's expecting me?
411
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,680
DOORBELL RINGS
412
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:09,680
Maurice. I brought John.
You said I might. Did I?
And did you say you would?
413
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,080
Yes. Well, come in.
414
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,880
Maurice, John. J-John Bayley.
415
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,560
Isn't it hot? Yes, it is.
I've got just the thing will cool.
416
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,160
I imagine your friend Maurice
is hoping to have his wicked way.
417
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,240
Not today, is he?
418
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:38,480
HE BREAKS THE FOOD NOISILY
419
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:49,520
You and I are much the same age,
aren't we, John? I-I think so.
420
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,520
Does it matter? No.
421
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:57,360
It's not important, is it? Maurice
means that most of my real f...
422
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:02,160
my OTHER friends are...
older than me. Much older.
423
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,680
There's a very good reason
for that, isn't there?
424
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:10,520
Is there?! What? She likes
people with a bit of a past.
425
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,560
She uses them, don't you?
No, I don't. For your novel.
426
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,800
Don't you, Iris? I haven't read it.
..Haven't you?
427
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:23,040
Neither have you, Maurice, so don't
428
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:23,040
play games. Nobody has read it.
429
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:23,040
CORK POPS
430
00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:27,760
The gentle lady hasn't yet
bestowed her favour on anyone.
431
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:33,600
Iris doesn't like to talk about it.
..Do you, Iris? It's because
it's full of people she knows.
432
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:39,040
All these masters of thought
you're so chummy with.
Bound to be. We all know.
433
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:44,480
Isn't it, Iris? No, it isn't,
but you can think what you like.
You know nothing about it.
434
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,320
Nobody knows but me,
and...I'm not telling.
435
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,160
I thought it was a secret -
Iris doesn't want it talked about.
436
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:58,840
Come on, Iris. I'm sure we'll all
recognise ourselves. I don't see
how you or anyone can. They won't!
437
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,320
Th-they... They won't!
I hate that sort of thing!
438
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:07,840
I won't write a novel that's
an autobiography. That's no fun.
They won't see themselves.
439
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:12,360
People written about in novels see
themselves differently. I'm sure...
440
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:18,000
Who said that you can use anyone
you like in a novel as long as you
say they're good in bed?
441
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,240
Even though... They might not be.
442
00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:26,760
Evelyn Waugh.
"And so to bed." Samuel Pepys.
443
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:31,760
So have you granted your favour to
John? ..Told him who's in the novel.
444
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,600
We h-have other things
to talk about!
445
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,520
No-one has read my novel.
No-one but the publisher.
446
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,160
It doesn't matter.
Well, it does. I feel let down.
447
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,800
Am I not a part...
some small part of your life?
448
00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:01,960
You were very gallant.
V-Very stupid. No, John.
449
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,400
Will you come in?
450
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,840
Have you been e-entertaining?
451
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,880
Yes.
452
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,720
All these people.
And to think I chose you.
453
00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:26,840
Obviously, I thought that...
I thought, "No competition."
454
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,880
What's this?
455
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,400
A friend made it.
Is she a cook, your friend?
456
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:37,640
No, he's a philosopher,
but his real interests
are cooking and telephones.
457
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,240
I'd like you to read this.
458
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,160
I was rather afraid
you might not like it.
459
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,120
Thank you.
460
00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:54,400
I value your opinion.
461
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,880
Perhaps it's time we made love.
462
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,240
Yes?
463
00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:05,760
Yes. That's what I thought.
464
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,400
Have you got a French letter?
465
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,400
SHE SNIGGERS
466
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,640
A rubber thingy. Oh! Lord, no!
467
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,240
Well...
468
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,560
We'll just have to be careful.
469
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,200
I-I don't exactly...
470
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,960
Probably easier
if you take your trousers off.
471
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:58,200
HE LAUGHS
Yes! Yes, of course. I've never...
472
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:03,680
I'm a r-rather late s-starter.
My brother used to have to...
473
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:08,520
tie my shoelaces for me till I was
seven. I don't know if... I do.
474
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,600
It'll all go...
475
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,920
HIS BREATHING QUICKENS
Swimmingly.
476
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,880
Oh! Go!
477
00:43:25,720 --> 00:43:28,240
Agh! Help! No! No!
478
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:31,280
No, no, no! No, Iris!
479
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:31,280
SHE WHIMPERS
480
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:35,320
Help! No! No! Don't, Iris!
No, Iris! Don't...! No! No!
481
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:40,160
No! Help! No! Help! Help!
I'm trying to help you!
482
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,120
BOTTLES CLATTER,
DOOR SLAMS
483
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,760
SHE TAPS LIGHTLY
484
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,440
S-s-s-s... (Sorry.)
485
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,880
WHIMPERING: Please don't, Iris.
486
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:30,040
You have n-n-nothing
to be sorry about.
487
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,720
It'd be unfair,
and I couldn't bear it.
488
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:40,160
We should be saying s-sorry to you.
489
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:45,120
And not just sorry, but...
490
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,560
Shall I read to you?
491
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,600
Shall I?
492
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:05,920
"Occupied in observing Mr Bingley's
attentions to her sister,
493
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,960
"Elizabeth was far from suspecting

00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:29,480
Yes, my darling, clever cat.
You wrote books!
498
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,080
Books...I wrote.
499
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,720
You wrote novels.
500
00:45:35,720 --> 00:45:38,000
Wonderful novels!
501
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,120
I wrote.
502
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,640
Such things you wrote.
503
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,960
Special things.
504
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,000
Secret things.
505
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:02,480
Do you know many secrets now, Iris?
506
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:08,760
You have shown me a map
of Iris's brain world empty,
507
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,720
tell me that its hidden mysteries
508
00:46:11,720 --> 00:46:17,040
and all the unknown life in there
has gone, has been wiped.
509
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:22,680
How then can she say things
of such a terrible lucidity?
510
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:27,200
Which bit of the empty jungle
does that come from?
511
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,440
Well, we don't know...
WE?! YOU don't know!
512
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,480
Don't hide, please!
513
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:38,640
Is it not remotely possible
514
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:43,720
that what Iris says
is of some consequence, yes?
515
00:46:43,720 --> 00:46:45,720
Yes, perhaps.
516
00:46:45,720 --> 00:46:50,360
So perhaps we ought
to learn her language
517
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,120
before the lights go out, what?
518
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,760
The lights WILL go out.
Yes, of course they will!
519
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:01,400
You all keep telling me...us that!
I know that! SHE may even know!
520
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,200
Iris!
521
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:11,360
I'm sure you can write.
Just get one word down! Persevere!
522
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,080
Iris! Your notebook!
523
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,240
Wait! No, no, no!
524
00:47:30,240 --> 00:47:32,280
There! There!
525
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,720
Now... That's it.
526
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,480
Well... Come on.
527
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,520
Walk.
528
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,360
We'll read, paddle in the sea...
529
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:49,600
HE GASPS
530
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:49,600
..then you'll write,
531
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:49,600
just like the old days.
532
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,440
CHILDREN LAUGH AND SHOUT
533
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,560
John! Ha-ha!
534
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:56,920
Iris, Mama.
535
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,560
Look who's here, Iris.
536
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,800
Look who's here. ..Hello! Hello!
537
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,760
Hello.
538
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,120
IRIS IMITATES THE WAVES
539
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,640
Yes, Iris! Sea!
540
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:23,080
I thought we'd walk, to calm her
down. She has an idea for a novel.
541
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:27,680
Hello, Iris.
BOTH GIRLS: Hello, Iris.
Talk to her, Janet.
542
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,520
Hello, Iris.
The sea's a bit cold for swimming.
543
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:37,520
Stay as long as you like. There's
plenty of room. Don't worry.
We don't want to be... You're not!
544
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:43,880
It's as much for Mum - give her
a bit of rest. I can't rush around
these days - tummy trouble.
545
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:48,720
Is she ill? She gets tired easily.
She's really not...
546
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:58,400
What do we do? Just talk to her.
Say things that she can write.
She can, you know.
547
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:23,000
It's all right, is it, John?
548
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:27,240
You know, it'll get better as you
get to know each other better.
549
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:35,320
Iris has got more than one world
going on inside her head.
550
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:39,080
A secret world.
Until another book comes out.
551
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,560
I'm the only friend
that knows of her secret world.
552
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:46,040
Oh, John! No, no.
It's like living in a fairy story.
553
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:51,680
I'm the young man in love
with a beautiful maiden
who disappears into an unknown
554
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:57,120
and mysterious world every now and
again, and who always comes back.
555
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,000
Iris!
556
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,800
Look! Iris!
557
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:12,240
- Look! He's got his clothes on!
- He's got his clothes on!
558
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,920
He's got his clothes on!
559
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:19,160
THEY KEEP REPEATING:
He's got his clothes on!
560
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:24,040
Seems very sensible to me.
561
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:24,040
THE GIRLS GIGGLE
562
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,960
CAMERA CLICKS
563
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,480
Janet, are you all right?
I'm absolutely fine. I'm fine.
564
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,120
I thought I'd get her to sign this.
565
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,960
Anything. Anything is fine.
Just get her to write.
566
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,880
Does she know anything
about her past?
567
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,640
Her career, work, friends?
568
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,160
Something of a closed book.
569
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,400
But it's there. I know it.
570
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:43,080
FOOTSTEPS ON THE PEBBLES >
571
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,720
That's wonderful! Well done, puss!
572
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:55,280
Good to see your book so well
received, Iris. Yes, wasn't it?
573
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:59,520
You thought you'd never finish it,
remember? ..I read her the reviews.
574
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:04,040
I read you the reviews, Iris.
You hated me doing it before.
575
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,480
Would you sign your new book
for me, Iris?
576
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:12,640
It's like postcards - do it
at once or you don't. Please.
577
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,680
LAUGHTER
578
00:53:56,720 --> 00:53:59,560
I see an angel.
579
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,080
I think it's you.
580
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:12,240
They're underwater now.
581
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,920
There are some drugs,
aren't there, Iris?
582
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:22,920
They don't last long,
when the friendly fog disperses.
583
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,280
There yawns the precipice
before you, doesn't it, puss?
584
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,480
They're beautiful.
585
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,760
Horrible, isn't it? Horrible.
586
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:40,920
Horrible thing.
You're there with your toes
at the edge of the precipice.
587
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:46,560
HE GIGGLES
You can say what you like, as long
as you make it sound like a joke.
588
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:52,080
Don't, John! That's cruel.
You're wrong. It's nothing,
because it's not understood.
589
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,080
She's in her own world now.
590
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,720
Perhaps what she's always wanted.
591
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,120
Come on. Let's go in.

Don't go. Now, do go.

Oh, dear.

I thought I'd...take notes.
735
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:21,080
There was a friend
who was a student with me.
736
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:23,680
Um...he'll wait.
737
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:29,200
He was not the first person
I went to bed with. That was Harry.
738
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:33,480
Then there was Roger,
who wanted to marry me.
739
01:09:33,480 --> 01:09:37,320
And Oscar, who said
he couldn't live without me.
740
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:41,960
And Tom...
who far too clearly could, but...
741
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:48,040
So, the student friend
I had resisted going to bed with
742
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:52,080
joined the army during the war
and promptly asked me to marry him
743
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:57,320
for he was certain he was going
to be killed and wanted me
to have the widow's pension.

01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:01,080
SHE SIGHS

01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:03,920
Anyway...
746
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,600
I didn't want to marry him.
747
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:11,080
But I did go to bed with him.
I...
748
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:15,920
I thought that best before he went
to fight, because you never know.
749
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:23,360
Anyway, he was killed.
My student friend.
750
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:27,040
And we weren't married.
751
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:30,480
So, no pension.
752
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:41,600
There. It wouldn't have been much.
I know, because I had friends
killed.

I don't know.

She said, "Oh, yes, there is.
I want to take a bath."
783
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:28,280
I was hoping to be able
to tell Janet that story.

She would have enjoyed it.
785
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,960
She would have laughed.

01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,560

Anna Karenina - Tolstoy, you know -
on her way to the station
to throw herself under a train,
788
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:55,480
sees something funny,
which she thinks to tell Vronsky,
her lover, about. We all do it.
789
01:13:55,480 --> 01:13:59,320
I do it with Iris and Janet,
all our friends.
790
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:04,360
But then, Anna thought that she
wouldn't be seeing Vronsky again,
791
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:07,600
because she was
about to kill herself.
792
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:12,520
You... You don't want to hear this.
793
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:16,800
Janet didn't k-kill herself.
794
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:26,760
But if there's one thing
that would have prevented Anna
795
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:31,360
from throwing herself
under a train, that would be it -
796

01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,320
I like things that are worn down...
840
01:17:39,440 --> 01:17:41,960
..which wear, wear, wear...
841
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,480
..until they go.
842
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:54,960
SHE GIGGLES
843
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:04,920
We've had a bit of luck.
844
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:08,440
The usual thing, I'm afraid -
somebody's died.
845
01:18:09,440 --> 01:18:14,080
Iris? Don't you have
a smile for Dr Gudgeon?
846
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:17,480
No?
847
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:20,640
No.
848
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:23,240
So, the time has come.
849
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:28,560
You knew it would, Professor Bayley.
850
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:30,160
Yes.
851
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:34,200
She d-didn't have a smile
for you today. Yes.
852
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:36,720
Well, we must make a start.
853
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,600
What do I do? Nothing any more.
854
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:45,560
Vale House is a very friendly place.
855
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:51,000
I was, er... Well, I mean,
this is one of the best.
856
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:56,880
More difficult to get into
than...well, Eton.
857
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:35,800
KNOCK ON DOOR
858
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:38,480
Taxi for Vale House? Yes.
859
01:19:38,480 --> 01:19:42,520
The l-lady's on the s-stairs.
I can't get her down.
860
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,760
Shall I?
861
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,160
You all right, my love?
862
01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:57,600
We're going for a little drive.
That's all right, isn't it?
863
01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:01,360
What's your name, then?
864
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:06,720
Iris.
865
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:11,560
Yes, it's Iris.
All right, then, Iris.
866
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:15,400
You'll be all right, my love.
Come on, upsy-daisy.
867
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:24,080
There you go.
868
01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:53,400
'Human beings love each other.'
869
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:58,440
In sex, in friendship,
and when they're in love.
870
01:20:58,440 --> 01:21:01,200
And they cherish other beings -
871
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:04,960
humans, animals, plants,
872
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,720
even stones.
873
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:10,400
She'll be fine now, won't you, Iris?
874
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:16,360
You can visit any time you like.
Come all day, if you want to.
875
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:22,760
Stay the night. That's all right.
876
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:26,880
We can make arrangements
for you to do that any time.
877
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:20,720
It was so q-quiet...
878
01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:25,480
..when she died.
879
01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:32,480
Do you know, I thought, "I wouldn't
mind doing that myself."
880
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:37,160
I had a joke to tell her.
881
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:43,120
It wasn't a very good one,
but she'd have laughed.
882
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:48,560
We need to believe in something
divine without the need for God.
883
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:52,120
Something we might call love.
884
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:54,240
Or goodness.
885
01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:56,720
As the psalm says,
886
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:59,240
"Whither shall I go from thy spirit?
887
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:02,280
"Whither shall I flee
from thy presence?
888
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:05,320
"If I ascend unto Heaven,
thou art there.
889
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:09,600
"If I make my bed in Hell,
behold, thou art there.
890
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,200
"If I take the wings of the morning
891
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:15,440
"and dwell
in the uttermost parts of the sea,
892
01:23:15,440 --> 01:23:18,080
"even there shall thy hand lead me.
893
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:21,120
"And thy right hand shall hold me."
894
01:23:35,480 --> 01:23:38,200
HE BREATHES IN DEEPLY
895
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:37,960
# Dear thoughts are in my mind
896
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:43,200
# And my soul soars enchanted
897
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:09,080
# And tomorrow he shall hear
898
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:16,320
# All my fond heart can say. #
