All language subtitles for Cotton Mary (1999) CD1 - TURKiSO -

I had this kind
of dream, child.

What was it, Auntie?

A baby, child.
What baby?

It was small.

What color was it?
White.

Go on. You're
only dreaming.

I talked to Matron.

What, Matron?
What did Matron say?

She said she was looking for you.
Every day she's looking for me.

I'm standing right there, she's looking
for me. You weren't there, Rosie.

I saw.
You weren't there.

Mummy, look what Mali
cut for you.

Oh, aren't they lovely.
Thank you, darling.

Is Sahib coming for dinner? Did he call?

No. No phone call, madam.

Lines are down.

But I'm making your favorite dish
- prawn masala.

Thank you, Abraham.

Put those in water for
me, would you? Yes, madam.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be
done on Earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day
our daily bread...

and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive th-

And lead us not
into temptation,

but deliver us from evil, for
thine is the kingdom, the power...

and the glory
for ever and ever.

Amen.

Rosie! Give
some respect, child.

You come to church, and you
start looking everywhere?

Every Tom, Dick and
Harry? What Dick and Harry?

It's only the rector's son.
And I have something in my eye.

Something in your eye, eh? I
know what you've got in your eye.

Better listen, Rosie.

Who's going to look after
you like I am?

Who got you the job
at the hospital? You.

You only, Auntie. You. You, you, you.

You want to be like some kind of
village girl? Jungly village girl.

Husband will give you
such a nice wallop.

Send your eyes to God,
Rosie. Give Him your heart.

God bless Mummy, Auntie "G."

God bless Pinky, Blossom,
the sisters, Harriet and Sonny,

and God bless the Queen.

Abraham!

Ten South African school children,
six boys and four girls,

have arrived in London
for a two-week visit to Britain.

It's their prize
in an essay competition...

organized by the British
Travel and Holiday Association-

Abraham!
Coming, madam, coming.

Coming.

Oh, my God!

Jesus.

It's all right, madam.
Don't- Listen. I need-

You'll be all right,
madam.

Hello?
Operator. Yeah.

Hello?
Hello, Operator?

Operator?

Don't worry.
Melvin! Laloo!

You must run for Mummy.
Lines are down. Sahib is gone.

Run fast. Go to hospital.
Wellington Hospital.

Hurry! Go!

Oh, dear. Oh, dear, Abraham.

Quiet. She's
saying a prayer.

Nurse, is madam all right? Yes.

Yes.

Good evening, Mrs.
Macintosh. How are you?

All right. I'd
- I'd like to speak to Dr. Martin, please.

Well, Mrs. Macintosh,
Dr. Martin's gone.

He's left the country
quite some time ago. Oh.

May I? Madam's milk is
still not coming, Doctor.

Mm-hmm. We've tried everything.
Compress, massage and all.

Nothing is coming yet,
Doctor.

Madam has had a fall, some
kind of accident? No, sir.

Madam's first child?
Second, sir.

Is Mr. Macintosh here?

There's been no word
from him, Doctor.

Bring madam's shawl, Mary.

You heard what the doctor said.
Nothing bad is going to happen to you.

Everything's going
to be fine.

Try for Matron.
Try.

I have tried.
It doesn't work.

You heard what the doctor said.
The child must eat.

I must speak with Dr. Correa.
Please take the child, Mary.

This is God's child,
madam.

This is a child
from God, madam.

What are you
talking about?

You are so lucky,
madam.

God sends this kind of child
to show you, madam,

what is love, madam.

Don't lose your courage,
madam. I'm here.

And don't listen
to anybody.

These Indian nurses
don't know anything.

I'm half English,
madam.

Anglo-Indian.

Oh, here, madam.

Let me show you.

My mother
was from here only.

But I'm more
like my father.

Same eyes and all.

Oh, madam.

Come, madam, come.

Drink it all up, madam.
Drink it all up.

This will wash
your system out.

Then you can feed
the child.

What's your name?

Mary, madam.
Cotton Mary.

This is my work now.

You go on.
Do your duties.

Rosie. Rosie, come here.

The child cannot sit like this
all night. It's not possible.

You take her home, and
tell the man he can stay.

But Matron, my family's
waiting for me.

Party, Matron.

There are so many others, staff nurse
and all, you can ask someone else?

This is an emergency. I'm surprised
to hear you talk like this.

Go do your duties
and get ready,

and tell him you'll
be taking over.

Yes, Matron.

As soon as I finish my rounds,
I'll be taking the girl.

Matron's orders.

Eat something,
mummy girl.

You'll feel better
soon, love.

Oh, I won't feel better, and I'll
never be able to feed the baby.

Oh, madam,
don't talk like that.

You will feel better.
The baby will be better.

And what will master say? He'll be
so happy to see his little baby girl.

He'll say it's all my
fault. Oh, no, madam.

Baby will be fine,
madam.

She's just very weak.

And madam
must rest now.

Mary-ma? Auntie?
Are you there?

Shh.

Matron ordered me to take Macintosh
madam's child home. Shh, shh, shh, shh.

I can't believe it. Mugs
and all were waiting for me.

We were going to have a
party. It's not fair, Ma.

Why so much fuss
for these people?

If it was Indian child,
Matron won't care like this.

A child is a child,
Rosie.

Why do you talk about India
this, India that? Listen to you.

Child is like me only.

I can't leave this child with these
hospital people. Madam won't like it.

If a child's not meant to live,
there's nothing you can do.

God is my witness, Rosie.

Nothing is going to happen to this
child. I swear on my mother's life.

But you're
not a doctor, Ma.

I will know the way.
God will show me the way.

You know, Ma, I think
she wants to sack me.

She's always after me, no?

Ah, yes, yes, Rosie.

Everyone's always after you.

Auntie, look.
See what Mummy wrote.

You must talk to her.
She's desperate.

Matrimonials.
I'll read it to you.

"One educated,
lily-white girl...

"looking for one
educated bachelor.

Fair-skinned preferred. Balance
of East/West values desired. "

Lily-white, lily-black. How
many colors God sees, Rosie?

You must listen, or you
lose all self-respect, child.

Matron was rushing me so much, I
didn't have any time to get dressed.

I have to go to a party,
you know.

What to do?
Just sit there, please.

Come. Theresa, I have
to go find a friend.

You stay here and wait,
then I'll come soon.

Shall I come with you? No, no.
Better to stay and watch, no?

Will you be back soon?
Five minutes!

I'll just be there, near the
statue. You can see me from here, no?

Don't worry.
I won't be long.

Ah!

I've been
looking for you.

Nothing.
Nothing at all.

Try the other side.

She can't go on
like this.

Mary, call the doctor.

I'll look after her,
Matron. It's no use.

And if something happens,
who's to take the blame?

Go on.
Call him in.

There you are!
Where did you go?

I've been looking
for you everywhere.

What if something were to happen to
you, who would have taken the blame?

But I was right here! Come on!
They could be frantic by now.

You'll walk
with us, Mugs?

Jesus Christ, our Savior,

we are praising You
as a loving gift from above.

Please. Please help me.

I have her, madam.
I have her.

I will look after her,
madam.

I'll feed her.

She's gone to sleep.

Good child.
No, no, no, don't cry.

Thank you.

Oh, sister.

Oh, sister, what is up?
Something happened, sister?

Child's mother couldn't
give milk. British lady.

She came to
the hospital tonight.

I'm worried that the child
will die, Blossom. Uh-huh.

I don't know if it can take
mother's milk. Early child.

Give her to Blossom.
Let her try.

Oh, what a beautiful baby.

What a sweet
little baby it is.

A beautiful baby.

Just like those old days.

Oh, my little one.

We will see which baby
doesn't have my milk.

Blossom will do it.

Come on.

Come on, Baba.
Come on.

Come on, darling.
Come on. Drink.

Your English madam was looking for
you. Matron was looking for you too.

So what?

Auntie, I was
looking for you.

Looking, looking.
Look at yourself, Rosie.

What? What's wrong, Auntie?
Check yourself, Rosie.

Why are you so angry?
Go on, Rosie.

Your mind
is somewhere else.

You took the baby
to Blossom, Auntie?

She's my sister, no?
Why shouldn't I take her?

Good morning.
Look at Baba.

See? She is so fine.

So what did
the doctor say?

Is she going to be all
right? No need to talk.

Please.

I can give special care.

Nothing to fear.

Later on, child can
take from the bottle.

But now it must
take mother's milk.

I will look after her.
You must trust me.

How can you feed her?
What did she eat?

I must know.

Look here, madam.

We have our ways.

Hello. Uh, where is
Mrs. Macintosh?

Come.

Madam, madam, master's here. Daddy!

Daddy! Hello, sweetheart! Ooh!

What took you so long?
Come on, give me a kiss.

Sir, as matron of this hospital,
which was a British hospital,

I must tell you that we have taken
only the best care of your family.

Now, what are we
going to call you?

She is, uh,
a little small, isn't she?

We'll fatten her up, sir.
Come, nurse.

I'll take her now, sir.
Madam is still very weak, sir.

She needs to build up
her strength, sir.

Come. Come.
Leave Mummy and Daddy alone.

Bye.

John, the baby's not
well. She'll be all right.

You're just upset
that I wasn't here.

Why didn't you call? I couldn't
call from the middle of the jungle.

The doctor says
she's not fully developed.

He says that she can't
process her food properly.

She seemed fine to me. You can't believe
everything the bloody doctor tells you.

She's like a little weaver bird
that's fallen out of her nest.

I wish you'd been at home.
I wish you hadn't have left.

Maybe this wouldn't
have happened. Darling,

I have to work.

The doctor wants to see you.
He wants to talk to you...

this afternoon.

Why does he want
to talk to me?

He wants
to explain everything.

It's very complicated.
It's-

I haven't told you all of it.

But what can I do? You're
the one he should talk to.

I can't do anything
about all this.

Look, if something's really wrong with
her, let's take her back to England,

sort it out there.

For Christ sakes, Lily, I just
walked in the door five minutes ago.

Yes. Yes, it's all right.

How was your trip?
Did you get your story?

Hey! Babu! Babu!

Take the tape!

I forgot to tell the driver to drop
the tape off. I'll be back in a minute.

Oh, madam, madam.

Oh, madam.

What are we going to do?
I'll look after you, madam.

Can you come with us?

Come home with us.

Of course, madam.
Nothing can stop me.

It's so exhausting to bring
her downstairs each time.

Thank you. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Bunny. Thank you.

Gwen, leave her to me.
I'll manage.

Take me there. You're going
to feel much better over here.

It's cooler here,
you know.

Aunt Mattie, please do a
good job of keeping her up,

otherwise nobody
will want to hire her.

We can't rely on these kind
of people, Mattie.

Look, there's Mary.
Straighten yourself up, Blossom.

Hello, sister.
The child is hungry.

Hello. Hello, Blossom. Hello, sister.

No.
What, Blossom?

I can't feed the child,
sister.

The doctor said the child
must eat, or it's going to die.

It's too weak, Blossom. You know
I have to wait for madam to come.

All my children are like
that. Not one is different.

Wait for madam?
But she's sick!

She's lying
in the bed!

She's still sick?

Uh-huh.

And madam has asked me
to come home with her...

and look after the child.

She needs my help, sister!

Hospital is finished. My
life is with this child now.

Oh. You're going home
with the child?

To an English house?

Then you'll tell us all about
the parties, no? The food and all.

Oh, sister.
Feed her, Blossom.

Wonderful, Mary.
You're so lucky.

Some food. Huh?
Come on.

Macintosh master
is good-looking, huh?

Chi, what a jungly girl
you are.

New shoes, Mary?

Madam gave me.
She has exactly same size.

You could ask Mary to make you
one of those garlands.

You know, a lovely string of
jasmine, like the Indian girls wear.

And Red Cross helpers
at Victoria Station-

Theresa, cornflakes!
You better go have breakfast.

Ah, Mary. Good morning. How's Baba?
I was wondering where you were.

You're not to go off like that without
telling me. Yes, madam. Baba's fine.

She just now
went to sleep.

Morning, Daddy. Good
morning, sweetheart.

I met with Dr. Correa yesterday,
and he examined the baby.

Excuse me.

So sorry.

He said she's still
terribly underweight.

He said she may have to go back to
the hospital if she doesn't improve.

Baba has improved, madam.
She's eating very well.

John,
are you listening?

Yes. Of course
I'm listening.

This chap seems to think
we've nothing better to do...

than run backwards and forwards
to the hospital.

He's doing special tests. Of course
we have to go to the hospital.

Better ask madam for a new
jacket, eh, Abraham? Yes, sir.

I take care of things like that. You
don't need to worry yourself about them.

I haven't had time to buy a new
uniform. You've plenty of time now.

You need a new jacket,
don't you, Abraham?

You're not going already?

I got a call last night
from a tea plantation...

about an Englishman who was
killed by his own workers.

How dreadful. I'll call you
as soon as I can. Promise.

Look after Mummy.

Abraham, you can show Mary
the larder this morning.

Yes, madam. We may be
needing some more supplies.

Yes, madam.

That's enough,
Theresa!

Lemon curd.

Everything
is finished here?

Madam wants something more? Mm-hmm.

Madam gives you
the keys?

Yes. I am madam's
right-hand man.

If you want anything
for Sahib, ask me also.

Mm-hmm! Madam's
right-hand man.

Madam's right-hand man.

We'll have to wait and see
who will be asking who, my man.

Anyway, how do you know
it will grow?

Every night you must pull your
hair very tight from the root,

and then plait it
to the very end.

But I want to cut it
like Mummy's hair.

Later, when you are older,
then you can cut it.

Not now.

You know what I saw by the
hospital before we left?

What, sweetie?
A snake!

A black one.

Aha! I told you,
that's the hair snake.

He knew you wanted
to cut your hair.

He comes to find these
girls, once every month.

Did you see it too?
Of course!

And if you cut your hair, next
time he might try and bite you.

Really?
Of course!

Why else do you think
I keep on growing my hair?

Mary?
What, sweetie?

What's wrong
with my sister?

Nothing's wrong,
darling.

She is God's child.
Special child.

But she's so small.

Madam is lucky.

Big baby is too costly.

Small baby doesn't take
too much food.

Mary.

Is this another trick of your union?
Hmm? We don't want any violence.

Any excuse
to throw us out.

Uh, John Macintosh, BBC World Service,
reporting for the Delhi Bureau.

I see. Inspector Raj. Delhi
Bureau? I don't want to interfere,

but I'd like to interview some of
these people, uh, about the murder.

Ashok, get me
the other man.

Get me the man.
Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

What have you to say?

We haven't done anything.

I understand, Inspector,
that the, uh, unions...

have been trying to recruit support
among tea workers, with some success.

Is this true?

Yes, it is true.

These British,
they have to go!

The "Britishers" think
they can go where they want.

This will not do.
Out of Munar tomorrow!

You will have to go!

What does the district commissioner
have to say? All I have to tell you is,

these hooligans were stirred up
by an outsider. Ah, hooligans!

We are hooligans? They are
hooligans! Stop right there.

Let me talk to them. Listen. Stop it!

Let Gordon be an example to you!
It's a warning! Please! Stop!

Listen to me.
My father was a union man.

You speak English? Speak
English? My father. Union.

Tell them. Tell them.

You tell me your story,
I'll report it.

Okay. Press. Were
there people here? Yes.

I'm from outside. Yeah? There were
- Okay.

Seven people. Seven. Ah, seven people.

Come on.
Cut the cards.

We're waiting for you.

Pass the cards.

Don't be too friendly with her.
Let her come to you. Please.

Who lives here, Mary? You
go wait downstairs, okay?

Hello, sister.

Is that Theresa?

Hello, darling.

Mummy's feeling better,
I hope?

Tell her I send my regards.
You go downstairs and play.

The baby is so beautiful.
Go on. Go down.

But I'd like
to stay here.

Not one word to Mummy
and Daddy. Understand? Go.

Hello.

Ah, Mary.

Such a big room I have.
Just like the house we had.

Same style, nah.
Large drawing room and all.

Good people, good respect, no?
Not like Indian house.

No, not like Indian house.

- Even the butler's under me. And the sweeper too.
- The butler under you?

Lucky getting such a-
See what I've brought.

Madam's regards.

Ooh.
Ooh.

The smell
is so heavenly.

Mmm, exactly lavender.
Ahh!

English soap.
Smell, smell.

Tell madam Blossom
orders her to come.

How cheeky she's getting,
after all we've done for her.

You should be more
grateful. Madam will come.

But you must give
more milk, sister.

I can't keep coming here
every few hours, right?

Let's see.

Mrs. Macintosh?
Dr. Correa will see you now.

Thank you.

Thank you for seeing me,
Dr. Correa. Not at all.

How's the baby? You haven't
brought her today. No.

How are you,
Mrs. Macintosh?

I'm all right,
thank you.

I'm afraid I'm still having
a problem with the feeding.

I can't seem
to get enough milk.

I was wondering if-
if I might be ill.

But I gave you
a thorough physical exam.

You're quite healthy. I could
find nothing wrong with you.

You know, Mrs. Macintosh, this
has to do with the mind sometimes,

with one's emotions.

Yes.

It could be... a rest,
a trip to the hills.

Yes, that would be nice.

Doctor, I- I wondered,

were you at the hospital when
Dr. Martin was working here?

He was our family physician. I
remember him when I was a girl,

and he looked after
my mother.

She often mentioned him
in her letters.

I'm sorry.
It's long before my time.

Maybe one of the nurses
could help you.

Don't worry, Mrs. Macintosh.
If you can't today,

then tomorrow.

- It can still happen.
- Yes.

Is there something
I should be doing?

Yes, I'll give you
a special diet,

some special exercises too.

I'll write it out for you.
Thank you.

Little by little,

you'll improve.

You can go take a rest now.
I'll finish everything.

Nothing to do. All finished. There's
some rice and curry in the pot.

No, I don't eat that food.
It's too spicy. I don't like it.

You can go now.

I'll call you
if madam needs anything.

Madam knows
where to find me.

Madam knows, but I'm
on duty in the afternoon.

I'm not like you people.
I don't need to take a rest.

All you people
like to sleep too much.

Hello, Mary.

Just-Just cleaning up, madam. That
Abraham man leaves such a dirty mess.

I can't even finish my lunch.

Child is full, madam.

Madam can try, but I don't
think madam's milk can come now.

This kind of child only feeds
twice in a morning, madam.

Stomach is small.

Mary, how do you
feed the baby?

Mother's milk, madam!
Yes, but-

Otherwise this kind of child
won't survive.

Doctor can talk, but you must look
at the child. Only child can tell.

If you don't trust me, madam,
let me go. No, no. Of course I do.

Please, madam. God is
looking after this child.

Mother's milk
is coming for her.

Child is not going
to get sick.

Nothing is going to happen
to this child.

But madam, I don't want any children
eating from this kind of dirt.

Sickness will come,
and then you'll blame me only.

You must tell
this Abraham man.

Child's health
is more important.

Yes, of course.

Of course it is.

Don't forget
your bag, Pam.

I won't.

My goodness!

Why aren't you at school,
dear? It's Vishnu's birthday.

Goodness, another holiday.
All these holidays.

It's a wonder you get
an education at all.

Oh, welcome home, Lily.

What a joy to see you.

I think of your dear mother
every day.

We didn't want to come
too soon, Lily,

because one's so very wretched
after a baby.

But you seem to have managed
quite well somehow.

Happy to be home,
aren't you, dear?

Oh, look at the garden!
Yes.

It's almost just
as your mother left it.

Oh, all the things
she loved most,

in the place
she loved best of all.

Oh, Lily, what
heavenly delphiniums.

Oh, yes.
Aren't they?

Where did you
get the seeds from?

I brought them from the
garden in Surrey. Oh, did you?

They're doing rather well. And I
planted an herb garden over there.

So like her dear mama.
Mm-hmm.

John's from a rather ordinary
background. But terribly charming.

Do come and sit down.

Glorious.
Ah, how nice.

There were lots of butterflies
here this morning. Yes?

I saw some very rare ones,
magnificent colors.

Oh. Oh, dear.

Oh, must he do that now?

I don't give the dhobi
any of our very personal items.

Certainly wouldn't trust him
with any of my daughter's things.

Oh, madam, these dhobi men,
they get all fired up.

They're not like our kind of men
- Christian men.

We know what they're thinking. I
wouldn't even give them the child's nappy.

See, I just now went
to hang it up.

Oh, Mary. Why don't you ask
your ayah to bring the baby?

We're all desperate
to see her.

Yes. All right. Mary, why
don't you go and get Baba?

- Take the flowers in for madam.
- Oh, yes. Thank you, Mary.

Spectacular view, Lily.

You really must be much tougher
with the servants, Lily,

or you'll end up
in terrible trouble.

Let me pour the tea.

Come to the club for
a good game of bridge.

Yes, you must come
and spend some time with us.

I'm sure the servants are
capable of looking after things.

I say, leave the babies to the
ayahs and the gardens to the malis.

Oh, bring her here.

Oh, she's so tiny!

Oh, little thing. Oh, the
darling. Can I hold her?

Be careful, madam. Head must
be up or breathing is difficult.

Oh, aren't you
beautiful.

You are going to go back to
England for more tests, aren't you?

I wouldn't trust these people.
Not with something like this.

Well, John has his doubts about
the doctor, but I rather like him.

Too many tests
are not good, madam.

This kind of child
needs love only, madam.

She's just like my own
child, madam. No difference.

Mary looked after the baby
in hospital.

No, but why, madam! That's the
truth! She is like my own child.

Lily, where is
your ayah from?

- She's-
- I'm from Tenga Seri, madam.

My father was an officer in the
British regiment. You can ask madam.

I'm like you only.

Oh, dear.

Yes, thank you, Mary.
That will be all.

Well, you must know they're
particularly difficult, Lily.

Well, your mother
must've told you.

Anglo-Indians have the worst
characteristics of the Indians...

and the worst
of the British.

Wait a minute.

"He cannot be a soldier.

"There's no room as a clerk.

"He's not wanted
by the merchants.

"His skin is rather dark.

"His rise was our own father
who claimed for us the land.

"That's to be one
with a darky's son.

"We will not understand.

"Nor can he with the Hindu
stand equally on swearing.

"But eats his fill
and like John Bull,

"has English ways and airings.

"Why don't
the good-for-nothings...

"pack up and emigrate
and leave the run to babudom...

and go to Utah state?"

Very good, Gladys.

However did I remember that?

It's been years since I thought of
it. Where did you fetch that from?

I don't know.

Oh, dear.

More tea for anyone?
Oh.

Look at Mary.
She's looking so smart.

See, Rosie,
she's changing, no?

Beautiful pattern.

English cotton, no? Cotton
Mary only likes English cotton.

Not Indian cotton, no?
You bought it?

No! Madam just
throws everything.

She has so many clothes.
Tell us. Madam has parties?

Hmm. All the time.

I heard from Susie Auntie.
Master likes big dinner parties.

She said he came to her
house. Talks very well.

Master talks very well.

- Rosie told me master in BBC, reporter and all that.
- He travels all the time.

When master is transferred,
he will take you with him?

Of course. Who else is going
to look after the child?

See, this is the kind of job
I want for you.

Then you can go home to England,
leave this place. Stop it, Ma.

I told her she should leave the hospital,
get another job. Why to stay there?

She does not listen to Mother.
Mother gives her a headache.

- It's a good place, Mary?
- Why don't you come over, no?

Come. Come and see. She
can start with something,

and then later on,
some kind of ayah work.

I don't want ayah work! Why
not? What's wrong with ayah work?

You have to
start with something,

and then maybe later on
you can change it.

Mary, whole world is
changing. This girl is still.

Ready?
Match point!

Well played.

You see? Got you on your
backhand again. Thanks.

I can see you've
been practicing your serve.

Come on, Abdul.
Your turn to play.

Mary, please,
stop clapping!

Nice to see you. Bless you. Thank you.

The chair, just a little
further towards the center.

Good, good. Thank you.
And the dresser, further back.

Yes. Fine.
Thank you.

Mr. Panamal, please. All these
chairs have to be put into rows.

And please, will you tell the
others they can run along now?

Uh
- They mustn't stand gaping like that.

Excuse us, ladies. I've just
come to borrow the flowers.

Not much scent, though. Frieda!

Tony's fallen sick.
Disaster!

Arthur's gone missing, can't
find a Kitty, haven't got a play.

Oh, no. I suppose we
could always ask an Indian?

He'd have
to be young.

We're already using the
American. John. John?

There he is.
Our Lord Fancourt.

John, you've saved the
day. Well done, Gladys.

What luck
we found you.

Oh, you will help us. You
must. You'd be marvelous.

- Wait- Wait a minute. -
It'll be such fun. We need you.

- I'm not in your league, ladies, I'm afraid.
- Oh, Lily, how are you, dear?

Doesn't she look like her
mother today, Pam?

Wouldn't she make
a wonderful Kitty?

Lily, you can be in the play.
Oh, no. No.

I'd be awful. Any way, it's nearly
lunchtime and I was getting a few books.

- You need a good distraction.
- No, I can't, really.

- I must go.
- Lily?

Well, I haven't done this
since I was at school, but...

I'll give it a shot.
You will?

Oh, John!

We've found our Charlie's
aunt. Oh, bravo!

You are terrific.
Pleasure.

So sorry everybody.
Sorry for the delay.

Uh, Pam, dear.
Will you read Kitty for us?

We're going from John's
entrance. Thank you very much.

Yes, from Lord Fancourt's entrance.
Ah, Nigel, so glad you could make it.

Girls, are you ready behind
the door? Yes. Nearly.

Everybody got the right page
number? John, are you ready?

Ready! All right with you,
Frieda? Good, now begin.

And... cue!

I say!
Look here, how's this?

Splendid. Splendid.

Door knock.

Who's that?
It's the girls.

The girls? L-I must
take Auntie's things off!

No, no, no, no, no, no.

- Can't stay. They won't go.
- It's not nice to make master dress like that.

He doesn't need to do it.

We've been longer
than we intended.

But Amy wanted to get some
flowers for Charlie's aunt.

Ooh, sorry. Sorry.
Frieda, quick, flowers!

Sorry, Bunny.

Has she come? Yes. Has
she? I hope she has.

Oh, yes. She has!
Donna Lucia,

Miss Fettigue.
Miss Verdun.

Donna Lucia Salvadores,
Charlie's aunt.

Go on, say something.
I'm Charlie's aunt.

From Brazil. From Brazil. Brazil.

From Brazil.
Where the nuts come from.

He's very good.

Very good, John.

Mr. Panamal, absolute silence
at the back!

Madam wants all of the
children out of the way!

Madam has
to clear the space.

I have to give master some cold
water. He drinks only boiled water.

I have to give it to him. You can
tell your madam if you want to.

Mary, be careful.
Club manager.

Bunny dear, you must speak up. They
can't hear you at the back. Again, please.

I know this kind of fellow
- one side here, one side there fellow.

My father was reading
Shakespeare.

He doesn't know what
is the play about.

I don't speak English.

I work for an English family,
and I don't speak English.

He thinks
he's a burra sahib.

Big man! "Gentleman of
rank, no money in the bank. "

He just dresses like that. Go
home and you'll see a small hut.

"Of course, my dear.
It was only my duty...

to see after the welfare
of my poor brother's-"

Sister's, you fool. Sister's, you
fool. "Sister's and brother-in-law's...

orphan girl-"
Boy! Boy-Boy!

I'll say twins in a minute.

Don't mind my talking
like this to you, do you?

"My dear, you are
a very charming little girl...

of whom, I am sure,
I could soon grow very fond. "

Good! Good!
It's all very good.

Very good and well done.
Thank you very much, everybody.

I think
we'll take a break.

- Some cold water for you.
- Thank you.

Your throat must be dry.
So much talking.

- Bunny, will you open my dress?
- Yes.

I'll do it. I'll do it,
master. I'll help you.

I'll do it.
I'll do it.

Extraordinary behavior,
don't you think?

It's so inappropriate. I'm
worried about Lily employing her.

I think
she's rather odd.

Hello.
These are lovely.

Are you going to be creating
a new border with them? Yes.

It looks quite dead,
doesn't it?

This is not dead. This
is still green. No?

Oh, yes.

All right, basically.

Look, John.

This is hard soil. Lack of water. Right.

Let's- Let's go
back inside, huh?

Rice duty?

Rosie! You've become a kitchen ayah.

I thought you were
a high-class madam.

From Mummy.
Oh, thank you!

Oh, thank you, child.
Thank you.

Madam and master are here?
You said something?

Don't worry, child.
Madam's in the garden, no?

I'll show you the house.
And we'll talk with her later.
