PAT: OK. Thank you, Lady B.
2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,480
Right, for me, it's a nice day,
3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,760
so I would go for my tracky Bs,
my tracky T and my white Hi-Tecs.
4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,600
ALL: Ooh! Trendy.
5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,240
Robin? Eh...
6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,200
..Apollo A7L spacesuit.
7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,040
You've got liquid cooling,
portable life-support system,
8
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,680
locking cuff, go, "Kshhh..."
9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,600
Spaceman. Yeah, really cool.
10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,400
It is cool. Julian?
11
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,360
Trousers. Right, any sort of...?
12
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,520
No, any kind of trousers.
13
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,560
It's funny, you don't miss them till
they're gone.
14
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,240
No. Kitty?
15
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,640
Blue jeans...and a green jumper.
16
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,320
Like Alison?
17
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,680
Oh, gosh. Yes!
18
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,560
We'd be like twins. Captain?
19
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,720
This.
20
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,600
You're kidding. No. We're saying you
get up in the morning
21
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,080
and you can wear whatever you like.
22
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,280
Thomas is wearing double denim
with aviators!
23
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,160
So...? And Mary
24
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,640
is wearing a dress made out
of seashells.
25
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,840
With a simple lobster hat.
26
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,960
Still wouldn't change a thing.
All right.
27
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,840
Well, that's it for What I Would
Wear If I Could Today...today.
28
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,040
Don't forget, later,
Julian will be giving a speech
29
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,160
at 6pm sharp, on the art of spin.
30
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,640
Is that off spin or leg spin?
Because...
31
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,440
No, no. Different kind of spin. It's
a political tactic, coined in the...
32
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,960
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's save it for later.
33
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:24,400
Yeah, OK, yeah, OK. Cool, cool.
34
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,160
Look at all these bits I found out
there. Could be valuable.
35
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,880
ALL: Ooh... That's interesting.
That might be worth something.
36
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,520
Is that Queen Victoria?
Oh, that's Elizabeth II.
37
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:33,840
Which one's that?
38
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,160
Our one. Oh, I despair!
39
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,320
Hmm. There might be something else
worth something.
40
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:40,360
There's an old pipe
and whatever this is.
41
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,720
Ah, looks like a musket ball.
42
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,920
Yes, I think it is.
They think it's a musket ball.
43
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,440
It is.
44
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,760
Thomas, you don't think
that it's the one that...?
45
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,080
I know it.
46
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,360

Oh, God, it burns!

Are you sure you want me to come?

Everyone's bringing partners.
Yeah, but it's your reunion.

00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:31,120
I didn't even go to your school.
I'll just be like a lemon.

Obi's going to be there.
You can talk to him.

Is that Kevin guy going?

Kevin McMahan?

You know who I'm talking about.

I don't know. Maybe.

Is his partner going to be there?
I don't know.
62
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,680
I don't know if he has one.
63
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,280

Thomas.
69
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,200
I wanted to apologise
for my outburst earlier today.
70
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,520
Which one?
You are kind to make light of it.
71
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,920
It must've been a shock
to see me so ruled by my emotions.
72
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:19,520
Erm... You see, I was overcome with
the memory of it all.
73
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,720
Come in. 'Tis not a pleasant thing
to contemplate, as you can imagine.
74
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,360
Hmm.
75
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,760
Perhaps I can give you account of
the unhappy events
76
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,480

to a gathering at Higham House,

as it was then known.

FRANCIS: What a place.
Imagine inheriting this!
85
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,120
It's pleasant enough to visit.
86
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,560
I wouldn't want to live here!

The day's proceedings were
to feature recitals
89

of both music and poetry.
90
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,320
Try not to embarrass me, cousin.
91
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,360
I looked forward to unveiling my new
work, but most of all,
92
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,000
I looked forward to seeing once
again Lord Higham's daughter...
93
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,200
..my beloved Isabelle.
94
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,480
Oh, my heart is aflutter, cousin.
95
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,440
She is fine indeed.
96
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:17,840
Shall we speak to the girl?
97
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:19,520
Nay! Nay, nay, nay, nay.
98
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,080
She is with her father.
99
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,200
He does not know we have an
attachment - we cannot speak openly.
100
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,240
Though I long to know
that her feelings are unchanged.
101
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,160
Write her a note, then.
102
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,280
I will deliver it.
I will be your Cupid.
103
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,400
I penned a note,
thanked my cousin...
104
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,960
Thank you, Cousin.
105
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,720

I am listening.
109
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,560
Carry on.

What's wrong with Marathon?
112
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,800
Snickers just sounds like,
"It's knickers".
113
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,160
'S'knickers. 'S'knickers.
114
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,440
Well, is that a bad thing?
115
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,000
Well, no, I suppose not, but what
does it mean? I mean, the word.
116
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,720
It doesn't make any bloody sense,
does it?
117
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,680
Am I early? As usual!

You and Lady B are always the first.
119
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,640
What?
120
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,920
I was just saying, you're always the
first.
121
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,000
You could set a clock by you
two.
122
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,280
Well, there's nothing wrong
with being punctual.
123
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:25,680

words.

Oh, welcome, Death...

"Perhaps you misinterpreted my words
or actions when last we met."
166
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,280
Might you have done?
167
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,720
I mean, you do maybe have
the tendency to, you know,
168
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,400
get the wrong idea.
169
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,120
Are you saying what
I think you're saying?
170
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,240
Almost definitely not.
171
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,560
And again, not. No.
172

00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,120
They're late.
183
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,480
Always the same ones. Well...
184
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,400
Well, what else have they got to
do? I know.
185
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,840
Not stuck in traffic, are they?
Or washing their hair.
186
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,880
Let's play a game to pass the time.
187
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,760
How about Grandma Went To The Shops
And Bought An Apple?
188

SOLEMN HARPSICHORD PLAYS
191
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:46,720
THOMAS: As my sweetheart played on,
I was racked with confusion.
192
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,680
I cannot fathom it.
193
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:51,200
Her affections were so clear before.
194
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,640
Poor cousin.
195
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,480
Perhaps her father has discovered us
and forbidden the match.
196
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,840
I must know.
197
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,960
Let her tell me to my face,
at least. Have a care, cousin.
198
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,080
I wouldn't want you
further hurt in this.
199
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,680
MUSIC FINISHES, APPLAUSE
200
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:12,040
Shall we take our leave?
Stand aside, cousin. Excuse me.
201
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,480
Excuse me. Excuse me.
202
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:14,920
Isabelle Higham?
203
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,560
Ha! The girl's unbearable.
204
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:20,080
Ugly and untalented.
205
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,480
Unbearable, you say?!
206
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,800
Untalented, you say?!
207
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,080
Damn your eyes, I say!
208
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,560
Damn your head, shoulders,
knees and toes, sir!
209
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:37,160
And what concern is it of yours?
210
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,800
I happen to love that woman
of whom you speak.
211
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,280
And I demand satisfaction.
212
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,280
SCATTERED GASPS
213
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,440
If her father thought me
unworthy before,
214
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,880
he certainly thought me worthy now.
215
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,120
Very well.
216
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,840
Good luck, cousin.
217
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,560
The evening air was cold.
218
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:07,000
Those of steady stomach
came to witness my bravery.
219
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:14,040
Now count your paces.
220
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,000

Thomas! Cousin!
227
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:40,240
We didn't get to 20.
228
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,120
I am shot.
229
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,840

00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,440
May God welcome me to the heavens.
233
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,080
ISABELLE: My beloved!
234
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,400
My darling!
235
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,360
Oh, how foolish was I
to believe Papa would not approve.
236
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,360
You are the best of men.
237
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,520
Kiss me...
238
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,160
..as the French do.
239
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,560
Oh. Oh!
240
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,400
ROBIN: That didn't happen.
241
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,720
What? It didn't happen!
242
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,240
I was there.
243
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,040
Of course you were!
244
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,120
Well, that's how I remembered it.
245
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,280
Go on, Robin. I remember that day.
246
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,360
Great! Are we really going to...?

00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,040
Oh, what you got there?
254

258
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,160
APPLAUSE
259
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,640
No, do it again. Do it again!

It was big boring,
but outside, something happened.
265
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,560
Blink one for yes, two for no.
266
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:41,960
No!
267
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,520

And then I see baby deer - dead.
276
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,040
What beast did this?
277
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,200
ALISON: Robin?
278
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,360
What creature...? Robin?
279
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,680
What demon...? Robin! Robin.
280
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:17,560
It's a bit off topic.
But it just getting to a good bit.
281
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:19,520
It's got nothing to do
with how I died.
282
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,360
Eh... Oh, I remembers that!
283
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,480
Oh, yes! Not you two as well.
284
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,520
This is amazing.
285
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,840
OK, you're sure?
Is he definitely going tonight?
286
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,160
Well, I mean, the event page
says he is.
287
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,720
Grandma went to the shops
and bought an apple,
288
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,480
a packet of Monster Crunch...
289
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,120
Munch. Munch,
290
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,280
a bottle of sherry...
291
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,520
..Playboy magazine...
292
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:45,840
..and...
293
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,280
An Enfield No.2 standard-issue
revolver. Yes, that.
294
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,240
You know he's a boxer now?
Yeah, he got into that in prison.
295
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,440
Prison?
296
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,440
..a swingball, and a...
DISTANT: ..big tank of a man.
297
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,760
Oh, ah...
298
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,200
Well, it's your go.
It can be anything.
299
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,600
Come on, Fanny.
..a-a-a lace brassiere!
300
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,040
Ooh, saucy!
301
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,640
What are you worried about anyway?
Alison dumped him when she met me.
302
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,480
Oh. Did she?
303
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,920
It was ages ago, wasn't it?
304
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,120
So, he'd be over it by now,
wouldn't he?
305
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,760
Hmm, probably, yeah, yeah.
306
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,360
Mm...
307
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,600
Mary, you must remember what
happened.
308
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:23,680
Oh, yeah.
309
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,520
THOMAS SIGHS
310
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,520
I remembers it well.
311
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,960
MARY: The room was full
of dandies and wenches,
312
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,480
talking and all floating
about the place.
313
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,920
They had wine coming out
of their ears.
314
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,080
It happens all the time.
The people all laughed and danced.
315
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,120
ALL SHOUT AND LAUGH
316
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,240
When Thomas came in,
Lady Isabelle did look at him.
317
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,200
Said I to Annie...
318
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,600
Is he the man of which she spoke?
319
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,520
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait. Annie? Who's Annie?
320
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,560
ALL MUMBLE IN SURPRISE
321
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,560
Oh, did we never tell you?
322
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,640
Oh, yeah, yeah, Annie ghosted here
for 100 year or more.
323
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,160
A true friend to me.
324
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,440
I see.
325
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,160
Till she got sucked off.
326
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,400
I'm sorry?
327
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,520
SHE HUMS CELESTIAL TUNE
328
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,800
Ah, like, moved on? Oh, yeah.
There's many that's been sucked off
329
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,240
in this house. Moved on.
I used to dream of the day
330
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,240
that I would be sucked off.
Moved on.
331
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,720
But I've long since given up hope
of ever being sucked off.
332
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,520
Moving on. Anyways...
333
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,880
..Annie and I did watch,
and Thomas said his poem...
334
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,440
Summer hath aroused the twilights
of lifes in the haze...
335
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,960
..and the people all turned to
statues.
336
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,080
Honestly, I think they died
of boredoms.
337
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,680
Oh, come, now. This is a nonsense!
338
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,680
I says it as I remembers
I sees it, mate.
339
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,560
Kitty, you must have been there,
too. Yes.
340
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:49,800
HUMPHREY: And me!
341
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,040
Good God, how long have you been
there?! Oh, the whole time.
342
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,400
Yeah, I remember it.
So many beautiful shoes.
343
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,680
Some heeled, some flat, one pair of
boots with lovely buckles.
344
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,520
Wait, did you just see shoes?
345
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,680
Pretty much, yeah.
346
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,200
Hmm. Kitty, what did you see?
347
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,920
Oh, I don't know if I should say.
348
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,440
Aren't you meant to be going out
with Michael this evening?
349
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,320
We've already detained you long
enough.
350
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,000
No, but I want to hear what Kitty
saw. Mike, I'll be five minutes.
351
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,800
Take your time.
352
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,520
Great.
353
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,240
Perfect. Fantastic.
354
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,600
Go on, Kitty. All right.
355
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,760
Well, to start with, it was so
exciting.
356
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,560
SHE GIGGLES
357
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,120
All sorts of interesting people
coming to the house,
358
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,160
food laid out on a table.
359
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,080
PAT: What kind of food?
360
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,040
No, come one, come all!
361
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,000
The more, the merrier.
We're only talking about my death!
362
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,680
We were supposed to muster at 1800
hours in the common room
363
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,800
for Julian's talk. Postpone it.
You've literally got forever.
364
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,120
Carry on, Kitty.
365
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,560
Where was I? You were
talking about a spread.
366
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,960
Now, was it like a buffet
sort of thing?
367
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,680
You know, cheese and pineapple?
368
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,120
Pineapple?!
369
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,160
Goodness, no. They were wealthy,
but they weren't royalty.
370
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,000
I remember Thomas arriving,
so in love with Lady Isabelle.
371
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,360
MARY: Is he the man of which she
spoke?
372
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:10,840
Looks a silly arse.
373
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,080
I remember his poem.
Welcome, Death!
374
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,800
Oh, sweetest sleep...
375
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,920
I don't understand poetry very well,
but it must have been funny
376
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,000
because people were giggling.
377
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,360
And he always...
378
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,360
..her Roger!
379
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:28,760
HE SNORTS
380
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,640
SCATTERED APPLAUSE
381
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,080
The man's a penis.
382
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,760
And I remember the argument - Thomas
didn't like something he heard.
383
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,440
What do you think of this Shelley
woman I keep hearing about?
384
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,920
Oh, she's unbearable.
385
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,480
Ugly and untalented.
386
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:44,720
Shelley?
387
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,120
No, that can't be right.
You've got that wrong.
388
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:50,200
That's what I heard -
Mary Shelley, the writer.
389
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,520
Unbearable, you say?
390
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,040
Untalented, you say?
391
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,640
Damn your eyes, I say!
392
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,960
Damn your head...
393
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:04,120
..shoulders, knees and toes, sir.
394
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:07,040
And what concern is it of yours?
395
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,440
I happen to love that woman
of whom you speak.
396
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,320
And I...
397
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,560
Sorry, does anybody have a glove?
398
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,080
Can I borrow your glove?
399
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,000
No. Fine.
400
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,560
Imagine the glove.
401
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,600
I demand satisfaction.
402
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,080
Very well. Really?
403
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,400
Yes.
404
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,840
QUIET: God... ALOUD: Good.
405
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,320
Good God.
406
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,000
Lady Isabelle didn't see
what Thomas had done.
407
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,760
Why are they duelling?
Over Mary Shelley.
408
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,880
Apparently, the poet is in love
with her.
409
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:44,080
WHISPERS: Seven, eight, nine, ten...
410
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,040
Ah!
411
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,240
MACHINE-GUN FIRE
412
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,640
FANNY: Do you mind?!
413
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,440
Kitty was telling the story!
414
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,120
You weren't even there!
415
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:02,760
Well, it's what I would have done.
416
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,360
Close-quarter battle...
417
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,360
THEY SHOUT OVER HIM
418
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:07,120
Excuse me, but what shoes was he...?
419
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:09,600
I don't know why that's relevant.
All I wanted to do was...
420
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,000
ALL TALK AT ONCE
421
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,000
..they're a low-model rifle.
422
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,840
ALL ARGUE
423
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,840
Alison.
424
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,720
I just want to hear what... Alison.
Yeah, hi. Hi, sorry. I'm going to be
down in, like, one second.
425
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,360
Just... Shh!
You don't even know her!
426
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:23,640
Shh-shh-shh! Just... It looks like
you've got something to deal with
here. Maybe second thoughts about
427
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,120
the reunion? That's cool. We don't
have to go. No problem.
428
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:27,960
What? I can just...go back to...
No, no.
429
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,400
We're still going to go. I just need
to finish something real quick.
430
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,640
Yeah, it's just that I actually...
Just really quickly.
431
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,200
Everyone, just let Kitty finish.
432
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,800
OK. They marched away
from each other.
433
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,520
I could hardly bear to watch.
434
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:43,840
Oh...
435
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,680
WHISPERS: Five, six...
436
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,960
..nine, ten...
437
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,720
..11, 12.
438
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,240

439
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,040

440
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,000
Oh! Good God!
441
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:06,120
GUNSHOT, BIRD SCREECHES
442
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:06,120
Sorry.
443
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,760
FRANCIS: Cousin!
444
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,520
We didn't get to 20.
445
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,880
I am shot!
446
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,800
He cheated, the coward!
447
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,760
I know she doesn't love me
but, please, fetch Isabelle,
448
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,560
that I might say goodbye to her.
449
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:30,800
Of course.
450
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,600
THOMAS PANTS AND GROANS
451
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,240
He waited...
452
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,880
..and waited...
453
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,800
..but she never came.
454
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,320
KITTY GIGGLES
455
00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:10,400
You OK?
456
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,520
Fine, yeah. Just...something
in my eye.
457
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,280
HE CLEARS THROAT
458
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,600
So now you know.
459
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,000
I wanted you to believe better of
me, but the truth is...
460
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,720
..I was a fool.
461
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,720
A fool who died alone and unloved.
462
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,880
Hang on. Your cousin,
he wasn't wearing boots
463
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,800
with bronze buckles, was he?
464
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,240
We've finished now, Humphrey.
465
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,080
Yes. Why?
466
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,560
Well, who was he writing letters to?
467
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,920
What?
468
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,160
Well, he wrote two letters.
469
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,200
On the stairs, where I was.
470
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,440
Why would he...?
471
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,720
Please, fetch Isabelle,
that I might say goodbye.
472
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,680
Of course.
473
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,640
No!
474
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,280
What a place.
475
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,720
Imagine inheriting this.
476
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,120
My heart is aflutter, cousin.
477
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:05,520
She is fine indeed.
478
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,640
Write her a note, then.
I will deliver it.
479
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,680
I will be your Cupid.
480
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,520
Thank you, cousin.
481
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,160
ISABELLE READS: "Please understand,
482
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,520
"I do not love you.
483
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,480
"Thomas Thorne."
484
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:28,840
SHE GASPS
485
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,400
And held aloft by rosy buds.
486
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,400
But how could his feelings
have cooled so quickly?
487
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,640
You deserve better.
My cousin... How can I say this?
488
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,880
..has many fancies.
489
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,320
A typical poet.
490
00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:46,000
Nectar sweet forbade...
491
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,280
THOMAS READS: "Dear Mr Thorne,
I'm sorry, but I do not love you."
492
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,000
I must know!
493
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,440
Let her tell me to my face, please.
494
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,520
Have a care, cousin.
495
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,760
I would not want you further hurt
in this.
496
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,560
Come to think of it, it was Francis
who told me about the officer.
497
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,320
Excuse me.
498
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,200
Say, what do you think of this
Shelley woman I keep hearing about?
499
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,640
Oh, she's unbearable.
500
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,560
Ugly and untalented.
501
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,320
He called Isabelle
unbearable and untalented.
502
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,760
Damn your eyes, I say!
503
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,120
Very well.
504
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:23,880
20 paces, cousin.
505
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,320
20?
506
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,120
WHISPERS: 11, 12...

00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,120

We didn't get to 20!
511

ISABELLE: Thomas!
FRANCIS: Cousin!
512
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,280
I am shot!
513
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,160
He cheated, the coward!
514
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,560
Please, fetch Isabelle,
that I might say goodbye.
515
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:47,800
Of course.
516
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,960
HE PANTS AND GROANS
517
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,320
Mm.
518
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,600
But he didn't fetch her.
519
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,560
ISABELLE: He was taken too soon!
520
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,320
He is gone. He is gone,
and there's nothing we can do.
521
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,520
SOBBING: Oh, God, Thomas!
Oh, you poor thing.
522
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,320
Oh, what he's put you through,
it is not fair.
523
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,840
Let me lend you some comfort.
Oh, you are kind.
524
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,520
Forgive me. I...
525
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,320
..I don't even know your name.
526
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,560
Button. Francis Button.
527
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,720
Button?!
528
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,400
Yes. They got married.
529
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,440
It was their son
who returned here to live.
530
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,320
My George's grandfather.
531
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,240
This letter...
532
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,520
..is a lie.
533
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,720
I thought it was not her usual hand.
534
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,400
And her name is misspelt.
I just thought
535
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,000
she'd written it in a hurry.
536
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,280
Mm. All those years
537
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,720
I thought I'd been spurned
when, really...
538
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,760
..she did love me.
539
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,520
Does that make you feel any better?
540
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,560
No, it's worse!
541
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,160
Mm.
542
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,240
Wait, hold on. Button? So...
543
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,760
..that means we're related.
Yes!
544
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,520
Yeah. No.
545
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,600
I mean, very distantly related.
Our children would be fine.
546
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,840
We're probably all related,
if you go back far enough.
547
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,640
Yeah, you all come from me.
548
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,080
And my sister.
549
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,440
Mm?
550
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,560
Heh-heh, joking!
551
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,960
Right, that's quite enough
of this nonsense.
552
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,680
Shall we go and listen to Julian's
talk? It's only 43 minutes late.
553
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:22,920
MARY: What be it about?
554
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,960
The art of spin -
555
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,600
how the same fact or story can be
told in different ways to, you know,
556
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,560
promote a particular bias.
557
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,040
Well, I think we've covered that.
558
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,160
Well done, Humphrey.
559
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,920
Not just a pretty face.
560
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,000
Well, I am.
KITTY: Yes, I suppose you are.
561
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,360
Right, shall we hit the road?
562
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:49,360
I don't want to go.
563
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:51,040
What? I don't want to go,
564
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,080
because Kevin, right,
you dumped him for me,
565
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,840
and I looked him up, and he's a
boxer.
566
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,800
He fights people. And Obi says he's
done time, so if he's not over you,
567
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,920
I don't want to go because...
He dumped me.
568
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:03,840
What?
569
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,960
He dumped me.
570
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,680
I told you that I dumped him because
571
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,720
I thought it made it sound better.
572
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,240
And I wanted to make you think
that I was choosing you.
573
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,800
Which I...which I was.
So...
574
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,600
No, I was choosing you.
So I was a rebound?
575
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,400
No!
576
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,600
Well, kind of. At first.
577
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,480
Look, he's not going to be angry at
you, because he dumped me.
578
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,240
And I'm glad he did.
579
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,480
Come on, then. Let's go.
580
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,040
Of course, I don't know
what you're worried about,
581
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,320
because you're a black belt
in taekwondo.
582
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,120
Yeah...
583
00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:44,720
..I did say that.
584
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,760
YELLS: Fie!
