This will be frowned upon.

Oh, I'm sorry. I had no idea.
184

Why would you?

Ah, yes.
186
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:19,243
Well, it's been years
since it was used.
187
00:10:19,243 --> 00:10:20,745
Stand up straight.
You're slouching.

I feel we could restore it
189

to its former glory.

191
00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:26,584
Stop sucking it in.
192
00:10:26,584 --> 00:10:28,461
An outrageous slander.
193
00:10:28,461 --> 00:10:29,795
"Sucking it in,"
she said, Yasha.

195
00:10:30,796 --> 00:10:33,466
Maybe there is a reason
this fine china

for the best part of a decade.
197
00:10:36,802 --> 00:10:38,387
It's against Party rules.

Even so,

00:10:41,390 --> 00:10:43,476

Gregor has made suits
for me before.
204
00:10:48,814 --> 00:10:50,650
Shouldn't be difficult for him
to make one in the style
205
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:52,276

206
00:10:52,276 --> 00:10:54,487
[Andrey] We have to be
very careful not to

00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:55,988

Don't worry.

No, no, no. You can't.
You simply can't

They're gaining a foothold,

Well, you were a soldier once,
an infantryman.

How would you know?
257
00:14:11,934 --> 00:14:14,311
Well, it's the business
of gentlemen to distinguish

between men of rank.
259
00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:18,023
And what else?
260
00:14:20,526 --> 00:14:23,195
Only an Eastern Georgian
would have his lunch

with a bottle of Rkatsiteli.
262
00:14:26,407 --> 00:14:28,158
Because he is a hayseed?
263
00:14:28,158 --> 00:14:30,744
No. Because he misses home.
264
00:14:30,744 --> 00:14:33,038
In my family,
265
00:14:33,038 --> 00:14:35,374
we would share a bottle

No.

For thousands of years,
288
00:16:01,251 --> 00:16:05,381
the peppered moth had
white wings with black speckles.
289
00:16:05,381 --> 00:16:07,591

camouflaged against

there were aberrations,

293
00:16:14,932 --> 00:16:17,142
They were quickly
snapped off the trees

by birds before they had
a chance to mate.
295
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:21,647
In the late 19th century,
296
00:16:21,647 --> 00:16:24,316
when Manchester became
crowded with factories,
297
00:16:24,316 --> 00:16:26,819
soot covered
all the buildings and trees,
298
00:16:26,819 --> 00:16:30,698
and the white-winged moth found
itself exposed and picked off,
299
00:16:30,698 --> 00:16:34,118
while the black-winged moths
thrived.
300
00:16:35,869 --> 00:16:39,498
In less than a century,

00:19:49,396 --> 00:19:52,065
May I set it here, where you
might make yourself comfortable?
361
00:19:52,065 --> 00:19:54,526
What in seven blazes
do you think you're doing?
362
00:19:54,526 --> 00:19:56,862
Olga, I think
you're finished for today.
363
00:19:56,862 --> 00:20:00,282

370
00:20:16,089 --> 00:20:17,674
Madam.
371
00:20:25,933 --> 00:20:28,101
Are you not pouring
yourself one?
372
00:20:28,101 --> 00:20:30,229
That is why you brought
two glasses?
373
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:33,941
Well, in hope
rather than presumption.
374
00:21:01,843 --> 00:21:05,389
I must confess that,
after our...
375
00:21:05,389 --> 00:21:07,099
previous liaison
376
00:21:07,099 --> 00:21:10,435
and your subsequent disregard,
377
00:21:10,435 --> 00:21:14,398
that I was concerned
that I may have caused
378
00:21:14,398 --> 00:21:17,442
some... offense.
379
00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:18,944
- Why are you smirking?
- I'm not.
380
00:21:18,944 --> 00:21:21,029
Oh, certainly you are.
381
00:21:21,029 --> 00:21:23,865
When a man is dismissed
from a woman's bed,
382
00:21:23,865 --> 00:21:26,118
it is incomprehensible to him
that she might simply
383
00:21:26,118 --> 00:21:28,412
have had her enjoyment
and now wishes to sleep.
384
00:21:28,412 --> 00:21:30,664
- Her enjoyment?
- And yet, when the shoe
385
00:21:30,664 --> 00:21:31,748
is on the other foot...
386
00:21:31,748 --> 00:21:33,542
Well, that's not true
of all men.
387
00:21:33,542 --> 00:21:36,253
I imagine I'm rather
more experienced in the matter.
388
00:21:36,253 --> 00:21:38,338
You make a fair point.
389
00:21:38,338 --> 00:21:41,883
So, I was merely
a passing fancy?
390
00:21:41,883 --> 00:21:44,219
No, there was nothing mere
about it, but...
391
00:21:44,219 --> 00:21:46,346
yes, if you like.
392
00:21:46,346 --> 00:21:47,806
I did like. I do.
393
00:21:47,806 --> 00:21:49,558
And I suppose there's
an added attraction
394
00:21:49,558 --> 00:21:51,852
to a man who's unable
to chase me down the street
395
00:21:51,852 --> 00:21:53,228
when I choose to leave.
396
00:21:53,228 --> 00:21:55,522
So why has it taken us
so long to speak again?
397
00:21:55,522 --> 00:21:57,983
- I was waiting for you.
- Waiting for me?
398
00:21:57,983 --> 00:22:00,694
- But I-I sent you champagne...
- You did.
399
00:22:00,694 --> 00:22:03,322
And I enjoyed drinking it.
400
00:22:03,322 --> 00:22:06,116
You didn't send yourself.
401
00:22:06,116 --> 00:22:08,952
You mean, all those nights
you stayed at the hotel, I...
402
00:22:08,952 --> 00:22:11,204
I could just have
knocked at the door?
403
00:22:11,204 --> 00:22:13,165
Depends.
404
00:22:13,165 --> 00:22:14,166
Depends on what?
405
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:16,626
On whether or not
I was in the mood
406
00:22:16,626 --> 00:22:18,337
for you to knock on my door.
407
00:22:24,468 --> 00:22:25,886
Bring the champagne.
408
00:22:34,770 --> 00:22:38,023
[Count] I was surprised
to read that your father
409
00:22:38,023 --> 00:22:39,900
was a factory worker
from Saint Petersburg.
410
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:43,195
Mm. His hands always smelt
of machine oil,
411
00:22:43,195 --> 00:22:45,364
no matter how long
he scrubbed them.
412
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:48,909
You told me he was a fisherman.
413
00:22:48,909 --> 00:22:50,535
I thought it might
appeal to you,
414
00:22:50,535 --> 00:22:52,954
as I thought the rise
of a factory worker's daughter
415
00:22:52,954 --> 00:22:55,207
would appeal to the readership
of Spectacles.
416
00:22:55,207 --> 00:22:57,376
Neither story is true?
417
00:22:57,376 --> 00:22:58,710
No.
418
00:22:59,669 --> 00:23:01,838
So what did your father do?
419
00:23:04,216 --> 00:23:06,635
My father was a famous matador.
420
00:23:08,595 --> 00:23:11,390
We toured the great arenas
of Spain together.
421
00:23:13,767 --> 00:23:16,937
One day, before the crowds
arrived, I, I stole his cape
422
00:23:16,937 --> 00:23:18,897
and snuck into the bullring.
423
00:23:20,774 --> 00:23:23,568
I wasn't quick enough.
The... the bull caught me
424
00:23:23,568 --> 00:23:25,404
by the shoulder
425
00:23:25,404 --> 00:23:27,239
with his horn.
426
00:23:27,239 --> 00:23:29,366
I fell to the ground.
427
00:23:33,078 --> 00:23:34,579
Just as the bull
was bearing down on me,
428
00:23:34,579 --> 00:23:36,331
my father...
429
00:23:38,583 --> 00:23:40,877
...threw himself in front of me
to save my life.
430
00:23:42,379 --> 00:23:44,506
Costing him his?
431
00:23:45,465 --> 00:23:47,384
He died in my arms.

I have no idea what that means.

Well, towards the end
of the 19th century--
436
00:24:03,692 --> 00:24:06,027
I'm sorry, what are you doing?
437
00:24:06,027 --> 00:24:08,280
I was about to explain to you
about the moths of Manchester?
438
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:09,781
No, please, Lord, no.
439
00:24:09,781 --> 00:24:11,450
Oh.
440
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:12,659
Why were you upset?
441
00:24:12,659 --> 00:24:15,328
In the bar, with your friend.
442
00:24:16,663 --> 00:24:18,957
My grandmama passed away.
443
00:24:18,957 --> 00:24:21,835
She brought me up
from the age of ten.
444
00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:25,630
I'm sorry for you.
445
00:24:26,798 --> 00:24:29,050
It's a privilege to grieve.
446
00:24:29,050 --> 00:24:32,804
Means you loved someone
and someone loved you.

Thank you.

Well, it won't make
a difference now.

I think my career might be over.

Stalin didn't enjoy the film.
727
00:44:47,893 --> 00:44:50,521
I suspect it went over his head,
728
00:44:50,521 --> 00:44:53,649
which is hardly surprising,
given his diminutive stature.
729
00:44:58,904 --> 00:45:01,573
A toast.

a bottle of Bollinger.
