there lived an old gentleman

'Everyone loved the squire.
Even his servants.

Welcome home
to Paradise Hall, Squire.
28
00:02:00,803 --> 00:02:02,843
It's late, away to bed with you all.
29
00:02:02,883 --> 00:02:05,483
I'm sure you've worked long
enough today.

Do as you're told!
31
00:02:22,323 --> 00:02:26,403

Oh, my Lord.
SHE GASPS
43
00:03:14,323 --> 00:03:17,483
Oh, I'm so sorry, one moment.
44
00:03:17,523 --> 00:03:21,803
Never in my life had to look at
a gentleman without his britches.
45
00:03:21,843 --> 00:03:24,123
Look, Deborah. A gift from God.
46
00:03:24,163 --> 00:03:26,523
Oh! Good heavens!
47
00:03:27,803 --> 00:03:30,403
Give the smelly article to me,
48
00:03:30,443 --> 00:03:34,963
and I'll stick it in a basket
and leave it at the church door.
49
00:03:35,003 --> 00:03:37,043
In the morning, you will
find my little one a nurse.

You're never gonna keep it?
51
00:03:40,203 --> 00:03:44,443
Sir! What will your sister say?
52
00:03:44,483 --> 00:03:48,003
My dear brother...
You're never going to keep him?
53
00:03:48,043 --> 00:03:50,843
He was made in the image of God,
just like we all were.
54
00:03:50,883 --> 00:03:55,443
We, sir, are not bastards left
in the beds of innocent gentlemen,
55
00:03:55,483 --> 00:03:57,083
by strumpets.
56
00:03:57,123 --> 00:03:59,843
Look at his little face.
57
00:03:59,883 --> 00:04:01,403
The mother must be found, John.
58
00:04:03,683 --> 00:04:07,363
Some poor girl
betrayed by a wicked villain...
59
00:04:07,403 --> 00:04:11,203
She left him with us, Bridget,
for the chance of a better life.
60
00:04:12,963 --> 00:04:15,483
Mrs Wilkins can go
to the village and find his mother.
61
00:04:15,523 --> 00:04:18,843
'She was found in no time.
62
00:04:18,883 --> 00:04:20,763

'housemaid to
the village school teacher.'
64
00:04:24,043 --> 00:04:26,923
Of all the girls in the county,
65
00:04:26,963 --> 00:04:29,363
of all the girls
in Little Baddington,
66
00:04:29,403 --> 00:04:34,243
you, Jenny Jones, the clever one,
the Sunday School girl,
67
00:04:34,283 --> 00:04:36,163
the one who is learning Latin.
68
00:04:36,203 --> 00:04:38,243
Lock me away in the
House Of Correction if you like.
69
00:04:38,283 --> 00:04:41,763
You know, it is in my power
as a magistrate to do exactly that.
70
00:04:41,803 --> 00:04:47,763
Just don't ask me to tell you
who his father is. I can't. I won't.
71
00:04:51,083 --> 00:04:54,083
Mr Partridge, your employer,
will certainly get the blame
72
00:04:54,123 --> 00:04:55,643
unless you confess the truth.
73
00:04:55,683 --> 00:04:59,643
I'm not sure who he was, sir.
Could have been anybody.
74
00:04:59,683 --> 00:05:01,803
THEY GASP
Jenny Jones,
75
00:05:01,843 --> 00:05:03,843
the villain who did this to you,
whoever he was...
76
00:05:03,883 --> 00:05:07,123
Tom's a nice name. Thomas Jones.
77
00:05:07,163 --> 00:05:10,443
..must pay for his crimes.
78
00:05:10,483 --> 00:05:13,363
Hm? Jenny?
79
00:05:15,843 --> 00:05:17,803
Do you really have
nothing more to say to me?
80
00:05:20,443 --> 00:05:22,683
Omnia vincit amor.
81
00:05:22,723 --> 00:05:25,523
'Love conquers all.'
82
00:05:25,563 --> 00:05:28,643
That's what your poor mother said
as she left, little Tom,
83
00:05:28,683 --> 00:05:30,643
and there's a happy ending.
84
00:05:30,683 --> 00:05:31,963
'Not yet.
85
00:05:32,003 --> 00:05:34,763
'We've not heard the last
of Jenny Jones.

'And she was not the only woman
at Paradise Hall

'nursing a romantic secret.'
88
00:05:50,443 --> 00:05:53,363
Oh, here comes trouble.
89
00:05:53,403 --> 00:05:57,123
Deborah, the Lord asks us
to think well of all His creation.
90
00:05:57,163 --> 00:05:59,603
The Lord can ask all He likes.
91
00:06:01,363 --> 00:06:05,603
Oh, Captain Blifil.
An unexpected pleasure.
92
00:06:05,643 --> 00:06:08,203
Mr Allworthy, your conduct
is the talk of the county
93
00:06:08,243 --> 00:06:11,803
and in the strongest
possible terms, sir,
94
00:06:11,843 --> 00:06:13,883
I object!
95
00:06:13,923 --> 00:06:17,323
A fatherless nobody!
He has acquired a father.
96
00:06:17,363 --> 00:06:19,923
He has acquired me.
I won't have it, by heaven!
97
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:22,923
With respect, Captain Blifil, we've
only known each other five minutes
98
00:06:22,963 --> 00:06:24,243
so I hardly think it's up to you.
99
00:06:24,283 --> 00:06:28,643
Am I to have no say in the morals
of the family into which
100
00:06:28,683 --> 00:06:30,763
I intend to marry?
101
00:06:30,803 --> 00:06:32,683
Marry?
102
00:06:36,523 --> 00:06:41,483
She's past 40!
And he's only after her fortune.
103
00:06:43,443 --> 00:06:44,683
VICAR: Dearly beloved.
104
00:06:44,723 --> 00:06:47,203
We are gathered here today
in the sight of God...

WOMAN SCREAMING
106
00:06:58,283 --> 00:07:00,563
It had better be a boy.
107
00:07:00,603 --> 00:07:05,523
'And that's how little William
Blifil acquired a country estate.
108
00:07:05,563 --> 00:07:08,443
'And little Tom Jones
acquired a playmate.'
109
00:07:08,483 --> 00:07:09,883
Oh, no.
110
00:07:09,923 --> 00:07:11,003
'Of sorts.'
111
00:07:11,043 --> 00:07:14,483
My demand is simple enough.
Husband, you know the answer.
112
00:07:14,523 --> 00:07:17,323
Captain Blifil, once more,
your son is my heir,
113
00:07:17,363 --> 00:07:19,923
and will one day
be Lord of Paradise Hall.
114
00:07:19,963 --> 00:07:21,283
I want your further guarantee
115
00:07:21,323 --> 00:07:23,363
that the bastard
shall only ever be his servant.
116
00:07:23,403 --> 00:07:26,203

Oh, boys, no!

Cuckoo! Ha-ha!

friends as well as cousins.

There.
I can't see anything.
136

In the undergrowth there,
do you see?

00:08:42,723 --> 00:08:44,443
No.

Yes!
Yeah.

he will give you a lamb to pet.

Now, do you even know
what a good girl is?

A good English girl is polite
and obedient

a good girl is grateful.

She never speaks.
Perhaps she is deaf.
176
00:11:19,403 --> 00:11:24,403
Say good afternoon
to your grandfather, Sophia.
177
00:11:28,323 --> 00:11:30,403
She's just like him.
178
00:11:30,443 --> 00:11:32,283
Fancy that.
179
00:11:32,323 --> 00:11:34,803
Just like my poor boy.
180
00:11:34,843 --> 00:11:37,163
Every time I look at her,
181
00:11:37,203 --> 00:11:41,443
I'll see the son
who lies buried in a farm field.
182
00:11:45,803 --> 00:11:50,963
Do you want to see my stone?
It came down from heaven.
183
00:11:51,003 --> 00:11:53,003
HE SOBS
184
00:11:56,803 --> 00:11:59,003
Don't cry, Grandfather.
185
00:11:59,043 --> 00:12:00,683
HE SOBS
186
00:12:09,403 --> 00:12:12,643
Your go, Black George!
Right.
187
00:12:12,683 --> 00:12:14,523
MUTTERS TO HIMSELF
188
00:12:16,483 --> 00:12:18,923
Ah, see that?
189
00:12:18,963 --> 00:12:20,523
No, Tom!
190
00:12:21,563 --> 00:12:24,843
No. That's Squire Western's land.
Tom, that's off limits!
191
00:12:24,883 --> 00:12:27,443
You get back here!
192
00:12:39,723 --> 00:12:42,163
You do know they hang poachers?
193
00:12:42,203 --> 00:12:44,963
My grandfather hates poachers.
194
00:12:45,003 --> 00:12:47,643
Well, I'm not a poacher
so it's not a problem.
195
00:12:47,683 --> 00:12:50,283
Liars burn in hell, boy.
196
00:12:50,323 --> 00:12:53,363
The gallows will be too good for
you, you thieving little bastard.
197
00:12:53,403 --> 00:12:55,403
Mercy.
Leave him alone!
198
00:12:55,443 --> 00:12:57,403
Mercy!
199
00:12:57,443 --> 00:12:59,883
Oh, no. No. Oh! Oh! Oh!
200
00:12:59,923 --> 00:13:02,603
Oh, no, no!
HE LAUGHS
201
00:13:05,443 --> 00:13:06,723
HE LAUGHS
202
00:13:06,763 --> 00:13:09,603
Oh, my Lord, I laughed
at the pair of them
203
00:13:09,643 --> 00:13:13,643
till the tears ran down my face.
204
00:13:13,683 --> 00:13:17,323
Tom! Tom! Mr Western's dining out on
you again.
205
00:13:17,363 --> 00:13:21,403
I had to send her back to
her aunt to learn some manners.
206
00:13:21,443 --> 00:13:22,883
"Mercy! Mercy!"
207
00:13:22,923 --> 00:13:25,923
I thought my last moments had come.
208
00:13:25,963 --> 00:13:28,123
If I had strung you up that day,
209
00:13:28,163 --> 00:13:30,963
I'd have broken the hearts
of every maiden in the parish!
210
00:13:31,003 --> 00:13:32,243
HE CHUCKLES
211
00:13:32,283 --> 00:13:34,643
Never did get it out of him, though,
did you, Mr Western?
212
00:13:34,683 --> 00:13:37,643
The child never told who gave him
the gun to shoot your pheasants.
213
00:13:37,683 --> 00:13:40,643
Could it be more obvious, Uncle?
It was Seagrim.
214
00:13:45,603 --> 00:13:47,443
Black George Seagrim?
215
00:13:47,483 --> 00:13:50,083
Blifil, hush,
it was a long time ago.
216
00:13:50,123 --> 00:13:53,283
Tom. You think we haven't always
known it was Black George
217
00:13:53,323 --> 00:13:54,603
you were protecting?
218
00:13:54,643 --> 00:13:58,043
I'll wager Black George
is the sneaking villain
219
00:13:58,083 --> 00:14:01,963
what's been taking the pheasants
out of my woods right now.
220
00:14:02,003 --> 00:14:06,803
As magistrate, Uncle, surely
your duty is to the landowner.
221
00:14:06,843 --> 00:14:08,523
And to law and order.
222
00:14:09,963 --> 00:14:11,523
Well said, young man!
223
00:14:12,643 --> 00:14:14,403
I'll have the bugger arrested!
224
00:14:23,803 --> 00:14:25,883
What does it matter
about a few pheasants?
225
00:14:25,923 --> 00:14:27,643
The pheasants
belong to Squire Western.
226
00:14:27,683 --> 00:14:30,883
And property must be respected
or the world will end.
227
00:14:30,923 --> 00:14:33,203
The world will end soon enough
for Black George Seagrim
228
00:14:33,243 --> 00:14:34,803
if he cannot feed his family.
229
00:14:34,843 --> 00:14:37,443
Well, he should have thought of that
before he did what he did.
230
00:14:37,483 --> 00:14:41,123
We must all learn, Tom, to consider
the consequences of our actions.
231
00:14:57,163 --> 00:14:59,883
Molly.
Back again?
232
00:14:59,923 --> 00:15:02,723
Actually, it's your father
I need to see. It's important.
233
00:15:02,763 --> 00:15:04,923
So's this. Come here.
234
00:15:08,003 --> 00:15:11,123
Molly, Molly, I mean it,
I need to see Black George.
235
00:15:11,163 --> 00:15:13,683
He's the one can wait.
236
00:15:13,723 --> 00:15:15,803
MOANING
AND KISSING
237
00:15:22,683 --> 00:15:24,243
SHE GIGGLES
238
00:15:24,283 --> 00:15:25,923
Molly!
239
00:15:48,523 --> 00:15:50,523
PANTING
240
00:15:57,163 --> 00:15:59,163
MOLLY LAUGHS
241
00:16:01,043 --> 00:16:03,123
Do you truly love me, Tom?
242
00:16:04,523 --> 00:16:08,603
Like the clouds love the sky.
Like trumpets love heaven.
243
00:16:11,283 --> 00:16:12,483
Save your charming notions
244
00:16:12,523 --> 00:16:15,123
for when you end up with a lady
in silks and satins.
245
00:16:17,963 --> 00:16:20,443
Ladies in silks
won't go for fellows like me.
246
00:16:22,003 --> 00:16:24,203
So I'm the best
you think you can get?
247
00:16:25,483 --> 00:16:28,243
Fine compliment that is,
from a gentleman.
248
00:16:40,603 --> 00:16:43,723
Oh, I have missed this all so much.
249
00:16:43,763 --> 00:16:45,443
BIRDSONG
250
00:16:45,483 --> 00:16:47,723
Listen, you can hear the birdsong!
251
00:16:47,763 --> 00:16:50,323
They do very well on a plate.
252
00:16:50,363 --> 00:16:52,443
You're such a Londoner.
253
00:16:53,603 --> 00:16:58,323
I like my comforts, miss.
I like my clean, white linen!
254
00:16:58,363 --> 00:17:00,883
Ideas above my station.
SHE LAUGHS
255
00:17:11,963 --> 00:17:13,803
Come on, then!
256
00:17:14,963 --> 00:17:17,723
Maybe I've got better things to do.
257
00:17:17,763 --> 00:17:18,963
Liar!
258
00:17:52,763 --> 00:17:57,643
Sophie! Oh, my lovely girl.
259
00:17:57,683 --> 00:18:00,723
Oh, well, I hope city life
hasn't spoiled you.
260
00:18:00,763 --> 00:18:03,123
I'm never leaving home again!
HE CHUCKLES
261
00:18:04,883 --> 00:18:07,843
SHE SIGHS
The country.
262
00:18:11,243 --> 00:18:13,923
We can have a little cottage
just like my dad's.
263
00:18:13,963 --> 00:18:17,763
He'll need someone to help him
with the shooting and the fencing
264
00:18:17,803 --> 00:18:20,603
and the manure
and all that kind of men's business.
265
00:18:20,643 --> 00:18:23,923
And I'll have babies and keep house
just like my mother...
266
00:18:26,363 --> 00:18:29,523
My dad will likely be home now.
267
00:18:30,723 --> 00:18:32,723
CHILDREN LAUGH
268
00:18:37,603 --> 00:18:40,963
You! They ought to string you up!
269
00:18:41,003 --> 00:18:43,883
Rich folk messing with our families.
270
00:18:43,923 --> 00:18:46,563
The constables came for her father.
271
00:18:51,643 --> 00:18:55,243
But if YOU talk to Squire Western,
Father, I'm sure he'll listen.
272
00:18:55,283 --> 00:18:58,683
Don't you understand that
I have a duty to uphold the law?
273
00:18:58,723 --> 00:19:02,203
I do. But it seems so cruel.
274
00:19:02,243 --> 00:19:05,763
We took you in.
A wretched foundling.
275
00:19:05,803 --> 00:19:09,283
I loved you and reared you
and tried to be a father to you.
276
00:19:09,323 --> 00:19:11,003
No man could have a better father.
277
00:19:11,043 --> 00:19:15,043
And yet you still betray my trust
with your constant wilfulness.
278
00:19:20,963 --> 00:19:25,003
Black George could be hanged.
Or transported.
279
00:19:25,043 --> 00:19:26,523
His children will starve.
280
00:19:26,563 --> 00:19:29,363
I merely stand for what is right.
281
00:19:29,403 --> 00:19:34,563
Kindliness is right.
Generosity of spirit.
282
00:19:34,603 --> 00:19:36,723
You didn't have to tell.
283
00:19:36,763 --> 00:19:39,963
Blifil, cousin, all these years,
when I've tried to be friends...
284
00:19:40,003 --> 00:19:45,083
You chose to make your friends
among the lower classes.
285
00:19:45,123 --> 00:19:49,403
If "friends" is the right word.
286
00:19:49,443 --> 00:19:53,683
Yes, you are the heir,
and I am the bastard, but...
287
00:19:53,723 --> 00:19:56,123
There are no buts, Jones.
288
00:19:58,043 --> 00:20:00,763
Your birth condemns you.
289
00:20:06,363 --> 00:20:09,803
Brutish behaviour, you see?
290
00:20:09,843 --> 00:20:14,963
Incapable of controlling
your own animal instincts.
291
00:20:17,923 --> 00:20:19,803
I pity you.
292
00:20:55,443 --> 00:20:57,403
A city style.
293
00:20:57,443 --> 00:20:59,963
Is it possibly
too fine for breakfast?
294
00:21:00,003 --> 00:21:02,603
Well you're not actually gonna be
milking cows in it, miss.
295
00:21:03,763 --> 00:21:05,683
I shall wear the pink linen.
296
00:21:08,283 --> 00:21:11,043
Oh, where the devil is she?!
297
00:21:12,163 --> 00:21:14,163
HE MUTTERS
298
00:21:14,203 --> 00:21:16,163
SUCKS HIS TEETH
299
00:21:19,403 --> 00:21:21,923
DOG WHINES
300
00:21:24,883 --> 00:21:29,483
Ah, took your time, madam.
A man could starve.
301
00:21:29,523 --> 00:21:32,803
Grandfather, I'm sorry,
you should have started without me.
302
00:21:32,843 --> 00:21:35,283
Seems to me, I've been without you
quite long enough.
303
00:21:35,323 --> 00:21:37,523
Excuse me, I didn't send myself away
to my aunt!
304
00:21:37,563 --> 00:21:41,603
Don't be cross!
How could I teach you to be a lady?
305
00:21:43,883 --> 00:21:45,923
Well, how can
I ever be cross with you?
306
00:21:52,763 --> 00:21:56,563
You back home
and hunting tomorrow... perfect!
307
00:21:56,603 --> 00:21:58,683
Hunting.
308
00:21:58,723 --> 00:22:01,523
It's just the worst thing
about country life.
309
00:22:01,563 --> 00:22:05,203
No. The worst thing about
country life is having no friends.
310
00:22:05,243 --> 00:22:09,163
I can't bear it.
I feel sorry for the fox.
311
00:22:09,203 --> 00:22:11,003
I feel sorry for the horses.
312
00:22:12,443 --> 00:22:14,883
I just can't see the point
in chasing things
313
00:22:14,923 --> 00:22:18,203
that don't want to be caught.
Hmm.
314
00:22:18,243 --> 00:22:19,523
You'll change your mind
315
00:22:19,563 --> 00:22:22,043
when all the handsome
young country men come calling.
316
00:22:26,843 --> 00:22:30,843
Honour, I've come home
to look after my grandfather,
317
00:22:30,883 --> 00:22:32,763
not chase after young fellows.
318
00:22:47,523 --> 00:22:50,243
Has nobody seen to you, young man?
319
00:22:50,283 --> 00:22:51,963
I'm waiting for Squire Western,
miss.
320
00:22:53,403 --> 00:22:56,443
He plans to hunt tomorrow,
so I expect he's in the stables.
321
00:22:56,483 --> 00:22:59,883
Let me call somebody.
What is your name?
322
00:22:59,923 --> 00:23:01,603
Tom Jones.
323
00:23:01,643 --> 00:23:04,083
Miss Western.
324
00:23:04,123 --> 00:23:06,243
Well, I'm sure I haven't changed
325
00:23:06,283 --> 00:23:10,483
nearly half as much
as you have, Mr Jones.
326
00:23:10,523 --> 00:23:12,643
I heard you were living in...
Bristol?
327
00:23:12,683 --> 00:23:15,563
Bath. With my aunt.
328
00:23:15,603 --> 00:23:17,443
Who, after some years
of enormous effort,
329
00:23:17,483 --> 00:23:19,883
deems me neither suddenly
ready for the life of a lady,
330
00:23:19,923 --> 00:23:21,723
or never going to be ready.
331
00:23:21,763 --> 00:23:25,323
Either way, here I am, back home
and very glad to be so.
332
00:23:27,123 --> 00:23:29,763
I must have picked them for you.
333
00:23:31,683 --> 00:23:34,643
Although I didn't know it,
obviously, at the time.
334
00:23:36,883 --> 00:23:41,203
Just baby's-breath and...
heartsease.
335
00:23:41,243 --> 00:23:42,563
Um...
336
00:23:47,603 --> 00:23:49,443
Can I ask a favour
for an old friend?
337
00:23:53,243 --> 00:23:55,803
It's about Black George Seagrim.
338
00:23:55,843 --> 00:23:57,603
Oh.
339
00:24:00,323 --> 00:24:02,123
A sad tale, Mr Jones.
340
00:24:02,163 --> 00:24:05,763
We certainly can't have entire
families thrown on the parish.
341
00:24:05,803 --> 00:24:07,923
He's a fine shot,
and a good man at heart.
342
00:24:07,963 --> 00:24:10,403
And if Squire Western
were to take him on as a gamekeeper,
343
00:24:10,443 --> 00:24:13,083
then he'd never have to poach again
and everyone would be happy.
344
00:24:13,123 --> 00:24:15,443
What a splendidly kind suggestion.
345
00:24:15,483 --> 00:24:17,003
I will pass it on.
346
00:24:21,083 --> 00:24:24,083
This means so much.
You have no idea.
347
00:24:24,123 --> 00:24:26,683
Miss Western, I am so grateful.
348
00:24:26,723 --> 00:24:29,363
This is the first thing I have done
all week that has gone right.
349
00:24:29,403 --> 00:24:31,163
Shall I see you at the hunt?
350
00:24:31,203 --> 00:24:35,443
Oh... I love hunting!
351
00:24:54,243 --> 00:24:57,043
Lost your heart, didn't even
know it was in danger.
352
00:24:57,083 --> 00:24:59,443
SHE LAUGHS
353
00:25:08,163 --> 00:25:10,323
Well?
354
00:25:10,363 --> 00:25:14,003
He is beautiful, Grandfather,
I love him already.
355
00:25:14,043 --> 00:25:18,163
Only as beautiful as his mistress.
Oh, oh, look at you both.
356
00:25:18,203 --> 00:25:24,163
The prettiest pair ever to ride
to hunt. Yes. I knew it! Happy now?
357
00:25:24,203 --> 00:25:25,923
One more kindness?
358
00:25:28,843 --> 00:25:30,963
I start work
with the squire tomorrow.
359
00:25:31,003 --> 00:25:33,723
You're a good friend
to this family, Tom.
360
00:25:33,763 --> 00:25:35,443
Happy to help.
361
00:25:37,923 --> 00:25:40,563
See you at the hunt tomorrow,
old friend!
362
00:25:45,003 --> 00:25:47,043
What?
363
00:25:53,363 --> 00:25:55,283
You're growing out of that coat.
364
00:25:55,323 --> 00:25:59,963
We will get you a new one,
more suited to a young gentleman.
365
00:26:00,003 --> 00:26:01,803
Aunt Bridget...
366
00:26:03,723 --> 00:26:07,483
..can a man ever be a gentleman,
who doesn't know who his father is?
367
00:26:10,203 --> 00:26:14,363
Kindness and good conduct
make a true gentleman.
368
00:26:14,403 --> 00:26:17,763
And has Mr Allworthy not proved
himself as good as any father?
369
00:26:17,803 --> 00:26:20,363
No, I don't mean to be ungrateful.
Just remember,
370
00:26:20,403 --> 00:26:23,323
your mother did you a favour
you can never repay,
371
00:26:23,363 --> 00:26:25,043
when she left you in his care.
372
00:26:25,083 --> 00:26:29,443
Look forward, dear nephew.
373
00:26:29,483 --> 00:26:30,963
Not back.
374
00:26:35,323 --> 00:26:39,563
# Jesus, thou art all compassion
375
00:26:39,603 --> 00:26:43,963
# Pure unbounded love thou art
376
00:26:44,003 --> 00:26:48,803
# Visit us with thy salvation
377
00:26:48,843 --> 00:26:53,763
# Comfort every sinking heart... #
378
00:26:53,803 --> 00:26:55,963
What, and you never did?
379
00:26:56,003 --> 00:26:58,603
Out to here with me
on the day you married my dad.
380
00:26:58,643 --> 00:27:00,883
Exactly why you should have had
more sense.
381
00:27:00,923 --> 00:27:02,443
Thanking you kindly, Parson.
382
00:27:02,483 --> 00:27:06,043
When the baby comes, I'm not
helping. I've got enough to do.
383
00:27:06,083 --> 00:27:08,763
Or me.
You're just jealous, skinny cow.
384
00:27:08,803 --> 00:27:10,843
Oh!
Oi!
385
00:27:10,883 --> 00:27:13,083
Ladies, ladies. The Lord's Day!
386
00:27:13,123 --> 00:27:15,763
Mr Supple! Are you hurt, sir?
387
00:27:16,963 --> 00:27:18,843
No, I think I'm all right.
Thank you, Tom.
388
00:27:18,883 --> 00:27:22,243
Oh, Tom! Take me home, do.
389
00:27:27,243 --> 00:27:29,243
Are you all right, Parson?
390
00:27:29,283 --> 00:27:32,283
Just got in the way
of a little altercation.
391
00:27:32,323 --> 00:27:33,843
THEY CONTINUE
QUIETLY
392
00:27:40,163 --> 00:27:42,163
You're a good man, Tom.
393
00:27:43,283 --> 00:27:44,763
Hmm.
394
00:27:47,363 --> 00:27:50,883
After what happened to your poor
mother, you'd never abandon a girl.
395
00:27:53,803 --> 00:27:55,123
Course not.
396
00:27:59,083 --> 00:28:00,283
Molly...?
397
00:28:00,323 --> 00:28:03,883
So you'll make
an honest woman of me? Will you?
398
00:28:05,083 --> 00:28:07,203
Cos you were my first love, Tom.
399
00:28:10,683 --> 00:28:12,483
My only love.
400
00:28:16,443 --> 00:28:18,923
Yes. Er...
401
00:28:20,643 --> 00:28:23,643
Of course. Good Lord.
How did that happen?
402
00:28:23,683 --> 00:28:25,683
You do know how babies are made?
403
00:28:27,123 --> 00:28:29,643
Well, I suppose I just thought...
404
00:28:29,683 --> 00:28:31,523
Well, you gave me
the impression that you...
405
00:28:31,563 --> 00:28:34,163
It's the gentleman's job to take
care of such things. I forgot.
406
00:28:34,203 --> 00:28:36,083
You're no gentleman.
407
00:28:53,043 --> 00:28:56,243
CHATTER AND
BARKING DOGS OUTSIDE
408
00:29:09,963 --> 00:29:12,523
BUGLE SOUNDS
409
00:29:12,563 --> 00:29:14,923
HORSES NICKER,
DOGS WHINE
410
00:29:20,883 --> 00:29:22,363
HE CHUCKLES
411
00:29:24,203 --> 00:29:26,923
Filled to the top this time.
412
00:29:29,243 --> 00:29:31,243
A nice draw!
413
00:29:35,723 --> 00:29:38,283
Grandfather,
people are looking at me.
414
00:29:38,323 --> 00:29:40,403
They're admiring your beauty,
my love,
415
00:29:40,443 --> 00:29:43,963
for you've come home
the prettiest girl in the county.
416
00:29:44,003 --> 00:29:45,563
And melted my old heart
417
00:29:45,603 --> 00:29:49,563
so far as to give that villain
Black George employment.
418
00:29:49,603 --> 00:29:53,363
See! I know how to make you happy.
419
00:29:54,483 --> 00:29:56,803
You've done me a good turn
and I won't forget it.
420
00:29:56,843 --> 00:29:59,883
You have Miss Western to thank for
that, the old fellow dotes on her.
421
00:29:59,923 --> 00:30:02,083
But Molly's secret is out.
422
00:30:02,123 --> 00:30:04,843
She's off to the magistrates
for a right telling off.
423
00:30:12,923 --> 00:30:14,963
BUGLE SOUNDS
424
00:30:19,643 --> 00:30:24,323
Are you quite well, my love?
Aye, sir, I'm as happy as a bee.
425
00:30:24,363 --> 00:30:25,923
Hunt's away!
426
00:30:25,963 --> 00:30:28,483
BUGLE SOUNDS
427
00:30:42,003 --> 00:30:45,843
You must name the father, Molly.
For he must pay to keep you.
428
00:30:45,883 --> 00:30:47,763
Not the good people of this parish.
429
00:30:47,803 --> 00:30:50,443
The parish won't be troubled,
for I shall be married,
430
00:30:50,483 --> 00:30:52,083
I have his promise.
431
00:30:53,403 --> 00:30:57,563
How many rooms you got here, Squire?
I don't know. Why does it matter?
432
00:30:57,603 --> 00:31:01,883
We've got three rooms at home,
think ourselves pretty lucky.
433
00:31:01,923 --> 00:31:03,523
And there's ten of us.
434
00:31:05,243 --> 00:31:06,883
So far.
435
00:31:06,923 --> 00:31:09,723
You must name him.
You know who he is.
436
00:31:09,763 --> 00:31:10,963
Molly!
Tom?
437
00:31:11,003 --> 00:31:14,483
Molly! Leave her alone, get off her.
No. No.
438
00:31:14,523 --> 00:31:18,643
Do not make this worse by violence!
As if it isn't bad enough.
439
00:31:18,683 --> 00:31:21,283
If anyone is guilty here,
if anyone's a sinner, it's me.
440
00:31:21,323 --> 00:31:23,283
Yes, you're right.
441
00:31:23,323 --> 00:31:27,603
I'm ready do my duty.
This is not a children's game, Tom!
442
00:31:27,643 --> 00:31:32,523
I never thought the boy I have loved
could disappoint me so much.
443
00:31:34,643 --> 00:31:36,523
Constable, take the girl home.
444
00:31:36,563 --> 00:31:40,163
There'll be no need
for the House Of Correction today.
445
00:31:40,203 --> 00:31:41,803
Come along, miss.
446
00:31:45,043 --> 00:31:46,523
Oh, Tom.
447
00:31:47,803 --> 00:31:50,803
Have I not tried
to teach you prudence?
448
00:31:50,843 --> 00:31:54,003
Restraint. Just common sense!
449
00:31:55,643 --> 00:31:58,643
Well, I try every day
to become more like you.
450
00:31:58,683 --> 00:32:01,163
Well, then you must learn to be
a man, and not a boy.
451
00:32:01,203 --> 00:32:05,203
I will.
I promise.
452
00:32:07,523 --> 00:32:10,723
Look, only forgive me, Father,
please.
453
00:32:10,763 --> 00:32:13,283
Look, I cannot bear
to disappoint you.
454
00:32:17,003 --> 00:32:20,323
You will promise me faithfully you
will not see Molly Seagrim again.
455
00:32:20,363 --> 00:32:22,843
But, sir, my obligations to her...
Will be met by me.
456
00:32:22,883 --> 00:32:26,043
I will make her family
a generous offer.
457
00:32:26,083 --> 00:32:27,563
Give them money?
458
00:32:27,603 --> 00:32:31,963
I have loved you like a father,
like a son, you will obey me.
459
00:32:32,003 --> 00:32:33,723
Do I have your promise, boy?
460
00:32:47,003 --> 00:32:50,843
Problem is, I don't want to stop.
461
00:32:50,883 --> 00:32:52,483
And neither do you.
462
00:32:54,643 --> 00:32:58,203
I promised my father.
You promised me!
463
00:32:58,243 --> 00:32:59,603
Molly, I have nothing.
464
00:33:00,883 --> 00:33:03,883
No money, no parents,
no standing.
465
00:33:05,243 --> 00:33:08,203
All I have that's worth anything
to me is the love of my father.
466
00:33:12,483 --> 00:33:14,203
Come on.
467
00:33:15,923 --> 00:33:17,163
Where is the harm?
468
00:33:19,003 --> 00:33:21,323
You can't get me pregnant twice.
469
00:33:27,323 --> 00:33:29,043
I'm sorry.
470
00:33:36,203 --> 00:33:37,643
BUGLE SOUNDS
471
00:33:52,923 --> 00:33:55,603
Please get out of the way!
472
00:33:55,643 --> 00:33:57,843
Ah!
473
00:33:57,883 --> 00:33:59,283
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
474
00:34:04,963 --> 00:34:08,243
Mr Jones.
Miss Western.
475
00:34:08,283 --> 00:34:10,003
Will you let me up, sir?
476
00:34:10,043 --> 00:34:11,283
I should like to do so,
477
00:34:11,323 --> 00:34:13,683
but unfortunately I think
I may have broken my arm.
478
00:34:13,723 --> 00:34:15,803
Oh, Tom!
479
00:34:17,883 --> 00:34:19,523
It's nothing.
480
00:34:22,283 --> 00:34:25,803
Set it true, mind,
and none of your messing about.
481
00:34:27,163 --> 00:34:31,123
It doesn't hurt, honestly.
Surgeons. All murderers!
482
00:34:31,163 --> 00:34:32,283
Will you stay?
483
00:34:32,323 --> 00:34:35,203
Grandfather, he must stay
until the break is mended!
484
00:34:35,243 --> 00:34:39,203
Not broken. Bit of a sprain, is all.
485
00:34:39,243 --> 00:34:41,603
Well, he must stay anyway.
486
00:34:41,643 --> 00:34:43,443
The shock, and so on.
487
00:34:43,483 --> 00:34:46,163
It's the least we can do.
488
00:34:46,203 --> 00:34:49,203
Oh, eh. Yes. Capital idea!
489
00:34:53,563 --> 00:34:56,283
SQUIRE ALLWORTHY: I know Tom
to be an excellent boy at heart.
490
00:34:56,323 --> 00:34:59,963
And I forgave him because his
apologies was completely sincere.
491
00:35:00,003 --> 00:35:02,083
And because he showed honour
and nobility
492
00:35:02,123 --> 00:35:03,843
in stepping up to take the blame.
493
00:35:03,883 --> 00:35:06,363
No, no, no.
Tom wants to do the right thing.
494
00:35:06,403 --> 00:35:10,323
It pains me to say this...
Then don't!
495
00:35:10,363 --> 00:35:13,603
Will a young man, so addicted
to vice
496
00:35:13,643 --> 00:35:17,083
be capable of recognising
"the right thing"
497
00:35:17,123 --> 00:35:19,163
if it jumps up and bites him?
498
00:35:19,203 --> 00:35:22,963
Mr Jones has always been very
generous to the girl's family.
499
00:35:23,003 --> 00:35:24,763
Exactly, Thwackum, exactly.
Thank you.
500
00:35:24,803 --> 00:35:29,123
But one has to wonder, now...
was it just a trick?
501
00:35:29,163 --> 00:35:32,043
Was Jones worming his way
into the affections of the father,
502
00:35:32,083 --> 00:35:34,563
to gain access to the...
503
00:35:34,603 --> 00:35:36,963
notorious charms of the daughter?
504
00:35:39,123 --> 00:35:42,603
I took him in. I brought him up.
505
00:35:42,643 --> 00:35:44,403
I must have faith in him.
506
00:35:54,003 --> 00:35:58,083
I owe Mr Allworthy everything.
I was just a foundling.
507
00:35:58,123 --> 00:35:59,683
A poor servant girl's child.
508
00:35:59,723 --> 00:36:02,003
And a very fortunate one,
to be taken in by kind people.
509
00:36:02,043 --> 00:36:04,043
HE SNORTS
AND MUMBLES
510
00:36:07,883 --> 00:36:09,443
I never knew my mother.
511
00:36:09,483 --> 00:36:15,363
Or anything about her, save
that she did not survive my birth.
512
00:36:15,403 --> 00:36:20,523
A common fate, for women like her.
And, if you ask about my father...
513
00:36:22,563 --> 00:36:26,443
..a smell of tobacco. Which I liked.
514
00:36:31,843 --> 00:36:35,963
In his will, my father
granted me my freedom.
515
00:36:39,283 --> 00:36:40,763
Freedom?
516
00:36:42,283 --> 00:36:47,363
I came into this world on a sugar
plantation in Jamaica, Mr Jones.
517
00:36:48,923 --> 00:36:51,243
No child there is born free.
518
00:36:51,283 --> 00:36:54,083
To learn my own father
was the man responsible
519
00:36:54,123 --> 00:36:56,723
was more than painful.
520
00:36:58,563 --> 00:37:01,163
I was six when I left the island.
521
00:37:02,563 --> 00:37:07,483
Perhaps it's odd that all I remember
is that it rained every day.
522
00:37:07,523 --> 00:37:10,043
And there were goats.
523
00:37:10,083 --> 00:37:12,683
Dear little goats
with sticky-up tails.
524
00:37:12,723 --> 00:37:14,363
SHE CHUCKLES
525
00:37:14,403 --> 00:37:17,883
It almost sounds like you left
part of yourself there.
526
00:37:17,923 --> 00:37:19,123
No.
527
00:37:19,163 --> 00:37:21,603
Home is right here.
528
00:37:21,643 --> 00:37:25,083
With the grandfather
that brought me across the ocean.
529
00:37:26,763 --> 00:37:29,563
I know how fortunate that makes me.
HE SNORES
530
00:37:31,763 --> 00:37:34,123
Home is right here for me, too.
531
00:37:36,963 --> 00:37:38,763
I never want to leave.
532
00:37:57,163 --> 00:38:00,843
Well, then. Enough memories.
533
00:38:00,883 --> 00:38:04,083
Good night... Mr Jones.
534
00:38:04,123 --> 00:38:06,203
Good night, Miss Western.
535
00:38:07,323 --> 00:38:09,763
You still here?
536
00:38:09,803 --> 00:38:13,763
Mr Jones is staying with us,
Grandfather. You invited him.
537
00:38:34,163 --> 00:38:37,683
HONOUR: He's pretty enough.
He's got good teeth, I'll grant you.
538
00:38:37,723 --> 00:38:41,483
But, miss, I don't trust him.
Nonsense.
539
00:38:41,523 --> 00:38:45,003
I found myself telling him all sorts
of things I never talk about.
540
00:38:45,043 --> 00:38:46,723
Never even think about...
541
00:38:47,963 --> 00:38:50,603
Miss, you ought to know
that it's, um,
542
00:38:50,643 --> 00:38:53,763
common knowledge that there's
a village girl with child by him.
543
00:38:53,803 --> 00:38:56,283
Mere gossip from the servants' hall.
544
00:38:56,323 --> 00:38:58,643
Shame on you, Honour,
for repeating it.
545
00:39:00,363 --> 00:39:04,323
You, you don't want to be giving
your heart to a bad boy, miss.
546
00:39:04,363 --> 00:39:08,683
He doesn't seem at all bad to me.
He seems kind.
547
00:39:08,723 --> 00:39:10,323
And unlike everyone else round here,
548
00:39:10,363 --> 00:39:14,843
he doesn't look at me as though
I'm some kind of exotic flower.
549
00:39:21,123 --> 00:39:23,523
FOOTSTEPS RETREATING
550
00:39:23,563 --> 00:39:26,963
DOOR OPENS, CLOSES
551
00:39:48,803 --> 00:39:51,563
A fine morning, Goody Seagrim.
She's not here.
552
00:39:59,603 --> 00:40:01,723
CHILDREN GIGGLE
553
00:40:03,283 --> 00:40:07,843
I just need to talk to her.
Talk, really?
554
00:40:16,403 --> 00:40:19,643
You'll find out what men are like
soon enough, Betty.
555
00:40:19,683 --> 00:40:22,243
And you'll find
they're not worth the trouble.
556
00:40:22,283 --> 00:40:23,363
Molly?
557
00:40:27,243 --> 00:40:28,923
I thought it was all over.
558
00:40:28,963 --> 00:40:31,203
It is, yes.
559
00:40:31,243 --> 00:40:33,443
But you know we have to talk.
560
00:40:40,723 --> 00:40:44,563
You're all the same. Men.
561
00:40:44,603 --> 00:40:46,963
Full of it until you've
had your wicked way with us,
562
00:40:47,003 --> 00:40:48,643
and then fling us aside.
563
00:40:50,123 --> 00:40:52,123
I've come to say
I can provide for you.
564
00:40:53,443 --> 00:40:56,043
I will provide for you,
and the child.
565
00:40:56,083 --> 00:40:58,923
Money?
566
00:40:58,963 --> 00:41:00,763
It's not about money!
567
00:41:00,803 --> 00:41:05,763
I'm not your whore. I loved you.
568
00:41:05,803 --> 00:41:07,003
The first man I've ever loved.
569
00:41:07,043 --> 00:41:09,163
And now you've ruined me
and left me with child...
570
00:41:09,203 --> 00:41:12,603
Molly, please don't...
Mr Thwackum.
571
00:41:16,323 --> 00:41:20,123
It's not... how it looks?
572
00:41:21,763 --> 00:41:23,283
Oh, for God's sake.
573
00:41:26,763 --> 00:41:29,123
Don't hit me.
574
00:41:29,163 --> 00:41:34,763
It's wrong to corrupt an innocent,
I agree, but I didn't do that.
575
00:41:34,803 --> 00:41:37,243
To be fair, neither did you.
576
00:41:40,083 --> 00:41:42,163
Well, I was her first lo...
577
00:41:48,643 --> 00:41:51,323
Molly!
578
00:41:51,363 --> 00:41:53,883
You didn't really think
the baby was yours?
579
00:42:07,603 --> 00:42:12,283
Don't say, "You can do better."
Don't say, "I'm no good for you."
580
00:42:12,323 --> 00:42:14,283
Look, I'll just say
you were my first love,
581
00:42:14,323 --> 00:42:17,043
and I will never think of you
without affection.
582
00:42:19,123 --> 00:42:21,483
Oh. Go away, Tom.
583
00:42:21,523 --> 00:42:24,323
I'll be fine here with my family.
584
00:42:26,443 --> 00:42:28,083
Oh, and Tom...
585
00:42:28,123 --> 00:42:30,923
Try to keep it in your britches.
586
00:43:21,803 --> 00:43:26,683
Miss Western!
Tom! I didn't see you there.
587
00:43:30,003 --> 00:43:34,683
I didn't drop it on purpose.
Of course not. The very idea.
588
00:43:38,323 --> 00:43:42,323
I'd hate you to think...
I don't. I wouldn't.
589
00:43:42,363 --> 00:43:44,443
Sophia...
590
00:43:45,963 --> 00:43:47,323
Good day to you, Mr Jones.
591
00:43:59,283 --> 00:44:03,843
Oh. Oh, God! God! God! God!
592
00:44:07,443 --> 00:44:08,843
KNOCKING
593
00:44:18,363 --> 00:44:20,443
If I could keep it forever,
I would.
594
00:44:24,723 --> 00:44:26,883
You are a gentleman.
595
00:44:28,843 --> 00:44:30,603
Thank you.
596
00:44:39,883 --> 00:44:42,123
I have lots more.
597
00:45:00,203 --> 00:45:03,123
'I saw the wretch with my own eyes.'
598
00:45:03,163 --> 00:45:05,923
Marching about our neighbour's
property as though he owns it,
599
00:45:05,963 --> 00:45:07,603
goods and chattels.
600
00:45:07,643 --> 00:45:12,643
Everything Jones does and everything
he says betrays his bad blood.
601
00:45:12,683 --> 00:45:17,643
The boy's birth was low, indeed,
but he has a good heart.
602
00:45:17,683 --> 00:45:20,643
And everyone makes excuses for him!
Even you, Mother.
603
00:45:20,683 --> 00:45:22,523
William...
604
00:45:22,563 --> 00:45:26,163
My dear son, come here.
605
00:45:30,243 --> 00:45:34,483
You had a real father, who,
for all his faults,
606
00:45:34,523 --> 00:45:38,723
gave you his name
and a place in the world.
607
00:45:38,763 --> 00:45:42,403
Tom Jones has nothing, and no-one.
608
00:45:42,443 --> 00:45:44,363
So what is there to envy?
609
00:45:44,403 --> 00:45:46,003
Hm?
610
00:45:58,923 --> 00:46:02,203
And in to me. Arms down.
SHE GIGGLES
611
00:46:02,243 --> 00:46:05,283
Other way.
612
00:46:11,043 --> 00:46:13,083
Two, three, four.
613
00:46:13,123 --> 00:46:15,363
Stretch your arms out.
614
00:46:22,843 --> 00:46:25,523
SHE CHUCKLES
615
00:46:31,123 --> 00:46:33,363
Whoa!
SHE LAUGHS
616
00:46:37,123 --> 00:46:39,523
Well, don't just stand there!
617
00:46:42,163 --> 00:46:44,603
That was really good.
I know.
618
00:46:44,643 --> 00:46:46,803
SHE LAUGHS
619
00:46:58,043 --> 00:47:00,283
Oof!
Concentrate, Tom!
620
00:47:02,163 --> 00:47:03,963
Again!
621
00:47:06,163 --> 00:47:08,803
Oh-ho-ho!
622
00:47:08,843 --> 00:47:10,763
A pretty show this is.
623
00:47:10,803 --> 00:47:14,563
I have, it is clear,
arrived in the nick of time.
624
00:47:17,323 --> 00:47:19,523
When I sent Sophia back to you,
brother,
625
00:47:19,563 --> 00:47:21,723
the child was a credit to her sex.
626
00:47:21,763 --> 00:47:25,683
Pretty, well mannered,
kind, and always tidy.
627
00:47:25,723 --> 00:47:29,003
My little girl is perfect.
Not a little girl any more.
628
00:47:29,043 --> 00:47:34,083
Young gentlemen will flock.
Flock? Flock?!
629
00:47:34,123 --> 00:47:35,843
I'll kill the flocking lot of them!
630
00:47:35,883 --> 00:47:38,803
You've just let one of them
play cricket with her!
631
00:47:38,843 --> 00:47:39,923
What, Tom?
632
00:47:39,963 --> 00:47:42,843
Tom's no need to flock,
633
00:47:42,883 --> 00:47:46,523
for he'll have any number of village
girls happy to pull their skirts up.
634
00:47:48,243 --> 00:47:51,523
Her background is against her.
The mother a slave.
635
00:47:51,563 --> 00:47:55,163
The father dead of tropical fever.
636
00:47:55,203 --> 00:47:58,963
My girl is beautiful,
and she is rich.
637
00:47:59,003 --> 00:48:03,563
Who cares if she be Black? Huh!
And a bastard, too!
638
00:48:03,603 --> 00:48:08,083
Good Lord, brother,
the world may care rather a lot.
639
00:48:08,123 --> 00:48:10,883
She must be married without delay.
640
00:48:10,923 --> 00:48:13,563
There must be someone
who will take her,
641
00:48:13,603 --> 00:48:17,323
among the good families hereabouts?
642
00:48:17,363 --> 00:48:21,323
# Can love be controlled by advice?
643
00:48:21,363 --> 00:48:25,203
# Will Cupid our mothers obey?
644
00:48:25,243 --> 00:48:29,363
# Though my heart
Were as frozen as ice
645
00:48:29,403 --> 00:48:33,203
# At his flames
Would have melted away... #
646
00:48:33,243 --> 00:48:35,443
His fortune is not so big as hers.
647
00:48:35,483 --> 00:48:37,163
It's big enough.
648
00:48:37,203 --> 00:48:43,483
# Twas so sweet that I messed... #
SHE FALTERS
649
00:48:43,523 --> 00:48:45,523
# So I thought it both safe... #
650
00:48:45,563 --> 00:48:48,643
You see the little flutterings?
The missed note?
651
00:48:48,683 --> 00:48:52,603
Hm? Oh, she blushes, sir.
She is ahead of our plans.
652
00:48:52,643 --> 00:48:55,123
And in love already!
653
00:48:57,763 --> 00:49:02,283
# Can madness and reason agree?
654
00:49:02,323 --> 00:49:07,123
# O Molly, who'd ever be wife
655
00:49:07,163 --> 00:49:11,363
# If madness is loving of thee?
656
00:49:11,403 --> 00:49:16,163
# Let sages pretend to despise
657
00:49:16,203 --> 00:49:20,723
# The joys they want
Spirits to taste
658
00:49:20,763 --> 00:49:26,203
# Let me seize old Time as he flies
659
00:49:26,243 --> 00:49:29,083
# And the blessings of life
660
00:49:29,123 --> 00:49:33,523
# While they last. #
661
00:49:36,803 --> 00:49:38,883
Lovely!
662
00:49:51,603 --> 00:49:53,883
Watch your dress!
Ugh! God!
663
00:49:58,883 --> 00:50:03,763
He sits too close. He looms.
Honour, he pants.
664
00:50:03,803 --> 00:50:06,683
A marriage made in heaven, then!
665
00:50:06,723 --> 00:50:09,803
I'm not marrying Mr Blifil!
666
00:50:09,843 --> 00:50:12,683
My sister and I can think
of no match we like better.
667
00:50:12,723 --> 00:50:15,363
As long as Miss Western
freely consents.
668
00:50:15,403 --> 00:50:17,843
Who cares if she do or don't?
669
00:50:19,483 --> 00:50:23,123
Well, in a modern world...
What, marry for love?
670
00:50:23,163 --> 00:50:26,523
Did any of us?
Yes, actually. I did.
671
00:50:27,963 --> 00:50:30,003
Send him over
with a pretty proposal,
672
00:50:30,043 --> 00:50:32,123
and we'll have
a wedding by Michaelmas!
673
00:50:34,763 --> 00:50:37,723
'Forced to marry a man
I do not love.'
674
00:50:37,763 --> 00:50:40,923
Will you be first to congratulate
me on my marriage, Jones?
675
00:50:40,963 --> 00:50:43,443
'My life's path chosen for me.'
676
00:50:43,483 --> 00:50:45,203
She doesn't want you.
677
00:50:48,243 --> 00:50:50,763
'Not in a million years.
678
00:50:53,803 --> 00:50:55,643
'I know what I want.'
679
00:50:58,483 --> 00:51:00,483
