FunTranscript
00:00:00That spring, when the young people walked in terrible naivete through the woods above
00:00:11Salisbury, with the symbolic shoots of nature, pushy as ever, they undid more than they knew,
00:00:19more than I, the butler, knew, more than the established world was prepared to admit.
00:00:25Young people, young at least in mind people, can disturb so amazingly much, one is forced to admire it.
00:00:46Oh, a little yellow daffodil.
00:00:49Oh, I thought you'd never speak.
00:00:51I wonder who dropped it in the mud like this.
00:00:53Hello? Anyone about? Looking for a little yellow daffodil?
00:00:58It doesn't matter.
00:01:00Hello?
00:01:00Please don't. They probably want to take it home to decorate their dinner table. I hate mahogany.
00:01:09Decorate their dinner table?
00:01:11Isn't that what people do?
00:01:13Not my people.
00:01:15Oh.
00:01:15Well, I hadn't said anything before, because I didn't know how to start.
00:01:21Why?
00:01:23Well, I like to think I know things. I mean, we all do know things, don't we? We've been given knowledge. But you seem to know things that are rather far off.
00:01:34Like people who don't decorate their dinner table.
00:01:36Yes, I know. I did have friends, you know, at college. And I have visited.
00:01:40It's just that the feeling of being overwhelmed. I'm seeing a face I always dreamed of. I always thought it belonged to someone whose dinner table would be decorated.
00:01:56Where on earth do you have dinner?
00:01:58It's just when you find you've gone this far towards someone and they're not...
00:02:04At least can make less.
00:02:05You're lovely. Lovely and lost.
00:02:12Pardon?
00:02:13I don't know what I meant by that.
00:02:14Yes, you do.
00:02:15It was presumption.
00:02:16I'm terribly poised.
00:02:17Let's kiss.
00:02:19All right. No, let's not.
00:02:22Oh, bloody hell!
00:02:24We can get back to Salisbury this way.
00:02:26Is this because of a bloody little daffodil?
00:02:27Nothing so innocent it can't disturb you.
00:02:30Even if you're terribly poised?
00:02:31Oh, we all have insecurity, Daniel.
00:02:33It just gets set off by different things and different people.
00:02:37Like mention of dinner tables?
00:02:39I wish I hadn't come to Grandpa's for the weekend.
00:02:42I like people to be clichés.
00:02:45I'm hardly original.
00:02:46Too original for me.
00:02:49What?
00:02:50Someone's coming.
00:02:51He's trying to dodge the puddles of spring.
00:02:54I think the sun is blinding his glasses.
00:02:56Can you hear what he's saying to himself?
00:02:57Good afternoon.
00:03:00What?
00:03:01Oh, yes, I suppose so.
00:03:04Oh, is something wrong?
00:03:05Never have a brother who's cleverer than you.
00:03:10Especially an older one.
00:03:13Goodbye.
00:03:14What a peculiar thing to say.
00:03:17Can we kiss now?
00:03:19All right.
00:03:20Why are lips so dangerous?
00:03:28Why is the silken skin of mouths eating, talking, loving?
00:03:33Why is that the place where devastation lurks?
00:03:37I never knew kissing could be so complete.
00:03:44It's the first time.
00:03:46I've never felt the need to make light conversation afterwards, certainly.
00:03:51Well, let's do it again.
00:03:53Because I don't know where to put all this feeling.
00:04:05Honeyman?
00:04:06Sir Desmond?
00:04:08I'm in the conservatory, watering.
00:04:11Of course.
00:04:16There was a man in the kitchen this afternoon, wearing glasses and a suit.
00:04:21My brother, sir.
00:04:23I hope he didn't disturb you.
00:04:25He's a bank manager.
00:04:26My butler, as a brother, was a bank manager?
00:04:29I'm very sorry, sir.
00:04:31I have kept him quiet, though, up to now.
00:04:33Don't let him out again.
00:04:34Honeyman, every man's entitled to climb wherever he can.
00:04:39But I don't want the family disturbing.
00:04:41I'll tell him.
00:04:43The status quo is what the new rich aim for, Honeyman.
00:04:46So if it disappears when we reach it, our lives have been totally in vain.
00:04:51I sympathise completely, sir.
00:04:53You can't be rich and powerful unless there's someone to be rich and powerful over.
00:04:57I do appreciate comprehensively the delicate position of the rich and powerful, Sir Desmond.
00:05:01We need to feel safe.
00:05:04I know.
00:05:06You are fully admired and appreciated by me, and you can put my brother completely out of your head.
00:05:11Then why was he here?
00:05:13We always spend our holidays together, and we're talking about the summer.
00:05:17We're going to trace Stevenson's travels with a donkey in the Cévennes.
00:05:21It's in southern France.
00:05:25Not Stockton to Darlington?
00:05:27That was a different, Stevenson.
00:05:29You make me nervous sometimes.
00:05:31I don't mean to.
00:05:32Then get the tea.
00:05:34And the children are coming, so mash it properly.
00:05:37I'll tell Mrs. Fellows.
00:05:38I was a grammar school boy, like poor brother Harry, fearfully intelligent and deeply in love with the life of the very, very rich, because it purchased so much culture.
00:05:55I mean to live with Rembrandts and sit on heifer white.
00:05:58However, I also felt scorn and loathing for the way huge wealth was acquired, depressing humanity in general for the benefit of the few, that is, the basic immorality of life, the elementary evil.
00:06:15So, to satisfy my longing and to keep my conscience clear, both at the same time, I became a butler, living well and taking no responsibility for it.
00:06:27We all do that, don't we?
00:06:30And as I had long ago rejected loyalty as incompatible with clarity of thought, I also felt no duty to my master and was prepared always, when the time came, to ditch him.
00:06:46I might have been a very great man, Harry said, but then he was my younger brother and hated me hysterically, for which I was genuinely sad.
00:06:57Family tea, Mrs. Fellows, they'll be here at any moment.
00:07:05Our father, which art in the conservatory.
00:07:08Welcome to the simple pleasures, the country.
00:07:11We're all so locked into your daydreams, father, that we almost don't exist.
00:07:16How are you?
00:07:17Where's your husband?
00:07:18At the gallery.
00:07:19I warned you about art, Samantha. Spoils Sunday, always has done.
00:07:23Hello, Alfred.
00:07:25Father.
00:07:26Anything new since Friday?
00:07:28Just the gulf.
00:07:30Wentworth?
00:07:31Moorpark.
00:07:32Near Watford, which isn't up to much.
00:07:34Make it Wentworth next week.
00:07:36Yes, father.
00:07:37And your daughter needs smacking, Samantha.
00:07:40She's been out ever since she came home.
00:07:42Home isn't here.
00:07:43It's with us in London.
00:07:44She's got her own flat.
00:07:46Yes.
00:07:47Then she ought to have a husband.
00:07:49I don't like the way the young make mock of what we all aspire to.
00:07:54Get her settled, Sam.
00:07:56Family-like.
00:07:58Yes?
00:07:59We'll see.
00:08:00We will.
00:08:01Now, tea.
00:08:07Next week, you'll come for lunch.
00:08:09Um.
00:08:09It'll be no trouble to us, will it, honeyman?
00:08:12It'll be a great pleasure, as it isn't.
00:08:14What else could you say, honeyman?
00:08:17It's the truth.
00:08:17You're not paid to tell the truth, honeyman.
00:08:19Just the credible.
00:08:21And remember, you two, if it weren't for me, you'd have grown up in the north.
00:08:26In the back streets of Stockport.
00:08:28So you needn't look gloomy at the thought of Sunday lunch.
00:08:31We lived all week in Holland Park, and only came to Salisbury at the weekend.
00:08:37I loved driving the Daimler.
00:08:40Low, unshakable.
00:08:42And I always had the use of it for myself, which made Harry wild.
00:08:48You don't know anything about life, Tom Honeyman.
00:08:50I know immense things, Harry.
00:08:53The sheer silk of driving this black dart through London teaches me more about life
00:08:59than all your days struggling up the ladder at your bank.
00:09:02Struggle teaches you everything that matters.
00:09:05Oh, I know about struggle.
00:09:07I watch television.
00:09:08He's given you that as well.
00:09:10You've never even had to buy a license.
00:09:11Nor a meal, Harry.
00:09:13You and I are about to feast once again on the diner's card he pays for,
00:09:18and you're going to adore it, aren't you?
00:09:20Oh, God, I'm weak, and the food will be so lovely.
00:09:23Stick with me.
00:09:25Sir Desmond's family are, as always, in my hands,
00:09:29giving me my pleasure.
00:09:31What would we do without you, Honeyman?
00:09:33Very little, Mr. Alfred.
00:09:35Part of the family, Honeyman.
00:09:37And its secrets, Miss Sam.
00:09:39Run me a bath.
00:09:40Run me a bath.
00:09:42If it weren't for me.
00:09:44Oh, if it weren't for me.
00:09:48That's what I thought then.
00:09:50The truth is, Harry, do you have to slurp your soup?
00:09:56I'm a bachelor.
00:09:57So am I, but I don't offend myself by doing that.
00:10:03The truth is, I'm no different from anyone else, superficially.
00:10:07I serve wealth, like we all do, and I take my pleasures where I can.
00:10:14But, and here's the real truth, very soon I can and will change everything by one simple...
00:10:24Oh, for heaven's sake!
00:10:26I wish you'd been a great man and left me alone.
00:10:29You'd miss our lovely holidays.
00:10:30Not me.
00:10:30You would.
00:10:31Take someone else.
00:10:31I want you...
00:10:32To treat like dirt.
00:10:33You're a highly intelligent manager of a bank in the West End of London.
00:10:36That's not dirt.
00:10:37It's a rarity on lots of cups.
00:10:39You always make my job sound like a joke.
00:10:43Try to learn about jokes, will you?
00:10:46And try to get hold of some views, so we can tussle brilliantly over our back end.
00:10:53I hate Matisse.
00:10:56Is that a joke or a view?
00:10:58You see, dirt.
00:10:59By views, I mean ideals.
00:11:04You must have some somewhere.
00:11:06Convictions, passions.
00:11:08We passed the 11 plus to be purged of those.
00:11:11I don't know how you did it, but you still seem to have convictions and passions and all
00:11:17sorts of things that should have been balanced out of you at school.
00:11:21Oh, school.
00:11:23We were exhorted there to be honest and to be loyal to mutually incompatible ideals.
00:11:28We weren't purged, Harry.
00:11:30We were simply placed in an impossible position which turned into a trauma.
00:11:34Oh, God.
00:11:36The city's full of men who've been shocked into immobility by having to be honest and yet
00:11:44never to reveal the duplicity of their friends.
00:11:47They look glazed and grin a lot and talk without inflection.
00:11:55They can't live creative lives at all because they're caught by the balls by English middle-class
00:12:00morality.
00:12:01The searing, almost castrating, stiff upper lip, ready to engage its teeth, unless they swear
00:12:09to believe in honesty and loyalty at the same time, which, of course, they can't.
00:12:14Well, I've thrown off loyalty.
00:12:22The truth is, Harry, the truth about me, the real truth, is that I am in a position to unravel
00:12:31so much wealth, so much dishonestly acquired money, that I could make the world an infinitely
00:12:39happier place tomorrow.
00:12:41And one day soon, I will.
00:12:45How?
00:12:45Well, you see, I could kill Sir Desmond Lyle, couldn't I?
00:12:53Oh, for God's sake.
00:12:55Oh, why not?
00:12:56Human life is sacred.
00:12:58To whom?
00:12:59It doesn't matter whom to.
00:13:01It's a useful phrase to stop us killing people we don't like.
00:13:05Are you showing loyalty to the human race?
00:13:07Yes.
00:13:08How humdrum.
00:13:09How typically colourless.
00:13:11I hate you.
00:13:13Shh.
00:13:13Sibling rivalry.
00:13:17And you're not to visit Salisbury again, Sir Desmond says.
00:13:22I was very nearly part of the family.
00:13:25Even in my little flat, my area at the top of the Holland Park home, with my television
00:13:30window to the world outside, even there, the family visited me.
00:13:35Part of their lives.
00:13:40Miss Paula.
00:13:41Do sit down.
00:13:42I, uh...
00:13:43You've got a new television.
00:13:44Your grandfather provides me always.
00:13:47Did you choose it?
00:13:48Oh, that would have been too much.
00:13:50I'm simply grateful for all the generosity.
00:13:52Gratitude is dangerously near servitude, don't you think?
00:13:55I am a servant.
00:13:57Part of the family.
00:13:59I came to you because there was no one in, and I wanted to tell someone I was happy.
00:14:03I'm honoured that you...
00:14:03Oh, for God's sake, how starchy can you be?
00:14:06What made you happy?
00:14:08I can't tell the butler, can I?
00:14:10He's just a servant.
00:14:12Love?
00:14:13In the woods above Salisbury.
00:14:16Oh, honeymoon, I'm happy for the first time in my life.
00:14:19That's the rain forest you're watching.
00:14:23Miss Paula, you must have been happy before this.
00:14:25Miss Paula, you must have been happy for the first time in my life.
00:14:26No.
00:14:28What a pity they have to chop it down.
00:14:30Still, we can't have everything.
00:14:34Miss Paula?
00:14:36It's no use.
00:14:37I can't talk to you.
00:14:39We're miles and miles apart.
00:14:40There was, to be frank, an awful lot of triviality.
00:14:47The curly crockery, the embossed silver.
00:14:51Rich men so frequently get lost in luxury,
00:14:54and then the shapes of things get blurred,
00:14:56and the sharpness of life is blunted.
00:15:00He had so many art treasures.
00:15:02I swooned daily over his Impressionists.
00:15:06Yet it was the chintz that took up all my time,
00:15:08straightening it, dusting it, preparing it as the scenery
00:15:11for his game of happy families.
00:15:16Honeyman!
00:15:17Mr. Alfred?
00:15:18I have to speak to you.
00:15:20Come down off that ladder.
00:15:22Your father can't abide the possibility of cobwebs in the pelmits, Mr. Alfred.
00:15:27It reminds him of Stockport.
00:15:30Shouldn't you be at the office?
00:15:32I'm at a business lunch.
00:15:34And I'm not coming to Salisbury next weekend.
00:15:37I'm going to France.
00:15:39La petite maison secondaire in Normandie.
00:15:43I have to guard my property and see that it's all right.
00:15:47He set his heart on everyone.
00:15:49You, Miss Sam, Miss Paula.
00:15:51Sunday lunch.
00:15:53Tell him it's an investment.
00:15:55I'll do my best.
00:15:57What would we do without you?
00:15:59I wondered even then,
00:16:01was I almost too good at butling?
00:16:03Drawing baths, for instance.
00:16:09I loved drawing baths.
00:16:13I'm drawing the bath, Miss Samantha, in your old room.
00:16:16No need to mention this to Father Honeyman.
00:16:18Very well.
00:16:19Oh, you keep the rooms exactly as they were.
00:16:22He likes to feel his home is solid and secure.
00:16:25To keep away the memory of Stockport.
00:16:27Have you ever been to Stockport?
00:16:30I'm happy to say not,
00:16:31though I know it well from his bath-time lectures.
00:16:35Unzip me, will you?
00:16:37Me?
00:16:37There's no need to be afraid, Tom.
00:16:40You're practically a member of the family.
00:16:42And being wealthy,
00:16:43we're not that sort of family, are we?
00:16:45No.
00:16:46Besides...
00:16:48Oh, besides...
00:16:49Besides...
00:16:51Miss Sam?
00:16:51Things happen to one.
00:16:53One accidentally looks through a new window
00:16:55and the view's wildly different.
00:16:58Don't you want to know why I'm here at four in the afternoon?
00:17:00Well, it's hard at my place to ask, Leslie.
00:17:02Please.
00:17:03I'm here because my husband...
00:17:05He does have a name.
00:17:07We must try to remember it.
00:17:09Alistair.
00:17:10Alistair is at home this afternoon cataloguing things.
00:17:13And I can't meet him smelling of another man.
00:17:17I see.
00:17:17And I don't think I can make lunch on Sunday, Hunnaman.
00:17:24Oh, dear.
00:17:25You'd better go now, I suppose.
00:17:27Though you've seen me often enough in my knickers as a child.
00:17:30And out of them.
00:17:31Oh, good heavens.
00:17:32Addressing gown.
00:17:33You prude.
00:17:36She wasn't beautiful,
00:17:38but there are things a butler shouldn't see
00:17:40and shouldn't be seen to see.
00:17:43Like all the family,
00:17:44she was immensely sensual and largely unaware of it.
00:17:47Paula was the same.
00:17:49The most sensual of all of them.
00:17:51Drawing you to her without meaning to.
00:18:01Daniel,
00:18:02I don't know if I'm into this yet.
00:18:05So?
00:18:10People seem to do it all over the place.
00:18:13Like Uncle Alfred's golf.
00:18:15That's confusing.
00:18:18It isn't known I'm here, either.
00:18:19By whom?
00:18:21I don't know why I said that.
00:18:24What do you do here in London?
00:18:26Geology.
00:18:27I work at the...
00:18:27Oh, yes, of course.
00:18:28I forgot.
00:18:30What do you do?
00:18:31Oh, the plan is for me to become an architect's assistant,
00:18:35which I am,
00:18:36and then an architect.
00:18:38Whose plan?
00:18:39Mine.
00:18:40Yes.
00:18:40Mine.
00:18:41Not your grandfather's?
00:18:43They laugh at him where I work.
00:18:45They call him the dread developer.
00:18:50Has anyone ever laughed at your relatives?
00:18:53Oh, isn't that what people do?
00:18:54Not my people.
00:18:57We've had this conversation once.
00:18:59I haven't come for that.
00:19:01What have you come for?
00:19:03Actually, I feel foolish.
00:19:05And I haven't come for that, either.
00:19:07I don't think it's my fault.
00:19:09I'd better go away again and do some drawings I'm supposed to work on.
00:19:12Why?
00:19:13Daniel, I'm a grown-up girl with a job.
00:19:16I'm not supposed to be here.
00:19:18Supposed by whom?
00:19:19You do pry, don't you?
00:19:21We met over Saturday, Sherry, in Wiltshire,
00:19:24kissed in the Springwoods,
00:19:25and felt very much part of each other.
00:19:28What lies behind all this?
00:19:30Haven't you come to find out?
00:19:31You said I could call whenever I liked.
00:19:34Was that all?
00:19:35Isn't it enough?
00:19:36Are you always like this?
00:19:37There you go again, prying.
00:19:39Oh, for heaven's sake.
00:19:40We'll have you Vinnie Mozart.
00:19:41I'll see.
00:19:46I know I'm disappointing.
00:19:49But that's what I am.
00:19:50I'm a disappointment.
00:19:52Who, too?
00:19:53Well, people float towards me and then float away again.
00:20:02I watch it happen.
00:20:06I meant more cheerful Mozart than this.
00:20:08I haven't any.
00:20:12I'm in love with you.
00:20:15You don't know who I am.
00:20:19I'm finished.
00:20:20The end of something.
00:20:23No, don't ask.
00:20:24Do not ask what I am the end of.
00:20:27Wouldn't you like to know about me?
00:20:29No.
00:20:32Well, I do know about you.
00:20:34And the way you move and things.
00:20:36How people smell.
00:20:38How they invite you to inquire.
00:20:39How they put you aside.
00:20:41That comes so quickly.
00:20:43But you have to use words, too.
00:20:45And your words are different from the way you smell.
00:20:51I'm a nice girl.
00:20:52I was brought up in Salisbury.
00:21:02So I, too, have suffered niceness.
00:21:05I'm very straightforward, very interested in what I do, which is research into the platelets of the earth's crust.
00:21:13My father, a solicitor, is very fond of me, as is my mother.
00:21:19And I'm fond of them.
00:21:23Though we don't share a single view, I think.
00:21:25We rarely talk about it.
00:21:27My sister's married to a lecturer in art in Newcastle with a family.
00:21:32And she's very nice.
00:21:34Very contributive.
00:21:35Very happy when we meet.
00:21:36Because we like each other.
00:21:37And I'm happy about that.
00:21:40It's nice.
00:21:43Nicer even than being friends.
00:21:45But I don't know what it is.
00:21:49Or even if I ought to try to find out.
00:21:52Because I'd have to pick away at things we've only said to each other once.
00:21:56And maybe thought of long ago.
00:21:58And underneath there are questions that are very tender.
00:22:04You've touched those questions.
00:22:06And I'm not what I was at midday last Saturday when I parked my car in the drive of the Lansing-Thompson's large house and walked in for Sherry.
00:22:18Something...
00:22:19Universal...
00:22:21has reared up and stared at me.
00:22:24You're prepared to talk about all this?
00:22:26I have to.
00:22:27Is that what people do?
00:22:29I do.
00:22:30And you laugh at your relations?
00:22:32I'd hit them otherwise.
00:22:36I'm going to kiss you now.
00:22:38All right.
00:22:39It might be a bit unkempt this time.
00:22:43All right.
00:22:44And then perhaps you'll talk?
00:22:46Can I stay with you in Salisbury this weekend and make love in the woods?
00:22:50The green dressing gown, honeyman.
00:23:05Green eases the spirit after a busy day.
00:23:08Sir.
00:23:09And now...
00:23:12A bath.
00:23:14Oh, I love that bath.
00:23:17Don't we all?
00:23:18I've never thought of you feeling things.
00:23:22Don't go.
00:23:23Sir.
00:23:26Oh!
00:23:28Ah!
00:23:30Ah!
00:23:32Ah!
00:23:34Ah!
00:23:35That's marvellous.
00:23:37Ah!
00:23:37I'd like to be able to say we kept coal in ours in Stockport, but that'd be too colourful.
00:23:44Stockport was stale.
00:23:47The grey, stale light of keeping body and soul together.
00:23:51And the great, grieving Stockport railway viad up to cross the valley.
00:23:55I can never quite see the valley.
00:23:58The word valley makes it sound like Switzerland, that's why.
00:24:01But Stockport was a mud pie of trolley tracks and cobblestones and greasy black sludge.
00:24:09It was as if a huge slug had crawled across the banks of the river and stopped, coughed and died.
00:24:16The whole ugly mess as far as Hazel Grove, stinking of smoke and grime.
00:24:22And bloody hell, the Germans missed it in the war, would you believe it?
00:24:26It's all still there.
00:24:29Cleaner in some places, drabber in others.
00:24:32But still rotting.
00:24:34Dead but endlessly suppurating.
00:24:38And bits of green grass fighting through and withering around Davenport.
00:24:41And motorways skirting round it.
00:24:43Derelict buildings in moth's side.
00:24:46Oh, funny man.
00:24:49A bath here.
00:24:52In Holland Park.
00:24:54With fitted carpets and massive curtains.
00:24:56Old masters on the heavy wallpaper.
00:24:58I tell you, it's a great fortress against the slug.
00:25:02And the gardens in Salisbury.
00:25:05Flowery, cushioned ramparts against the oozing north of England.
00:25:09You don't know the terror lurking in the woods, Stockport.
00:25:14And Crewe.
00:25:15And Bury.
00:25:16And those awful seeping Lowry paintings.
00:25:20And Buxton.
00:25:21The Buxton moors were covered in sooty sheep, like bodies from Belson.
00:25:26The Pink District.
00:25:27With all the sort of glossop falling on it.
00:25:30You know, black heather till you got to Chatsworth.
00:25:33Chatsworth?
00:25:35Now.
00:25:36Oh, Chatsworth was a student wife to Versailles.
00:25:40And I can't think how the Duke lives so near the enemy.
00:25:44Sheffield pushing over the hill.
00:25:46Derby dragged to the south.
00:25:48I couldn't do it.
00:25:49I'd be frightened to death.
00:25:51I truly believe you are braver than you think, sir.
00:25:54Fear makes you do brave things, certainly.
00:25:57I made money because I was afraid.
00:26:02Money keeps me safe.
00:26:05It gives me...
00:26:07Home.
00:26:09Your brother and no?
00:26:09I don't think he considers money in that way.
00:26:13Oh, for me, money's the power that keeps Stockport at bay.
00:26:17And on Sunday, I shall have my family about me.
00:26:25For lunch in the country.
00:26:29That honeymoon is achievement.
00:26:32A big house in the southern counties.
00:26:35And all my family about me.
00:26:38It's a pity Lady Lillian won't be...
00:26:40She used to interrupt.
00:26:42You can go now.
00:26:45I should have killed him then and there with the word family on his lips.
00:26:50He would have been happy.
00:26:51I would have been happy.
00:26:52As it was, there was that cocky little lover of Samantha's
00:26:58at one of those functions in the art gallery.
00:27:05Darling, we can't meet in Alistair's gallery.
00:27:09We aren't meeting.
00:27:10We're bumping into one another.
00:27:13Which one's Alistair?
00:27:14The one with the pleasant face and the half-smile,
00:27:16nodding slowly to the serious man in the Italian jacket,
00:27:19and then nodding fast at the end of each sentence as he laughs nervously.
00:27:23Well, sir, he seems nice.
00:27:26Yes, he does seem nice.
00:27:29Why have you come?
00:27:31To look.
00:27:32I can't stay long.
00:27:33The mail train goes at four,
00:27:35and I have to film my parcel leaving the depot.
00:27:37Well, can't someone else?
00:27:38Then we could...
00:27:39Look, I have to be there myself if I'm to prove it gets interrupted.
00:27:43I just came to get a glimpse of you in your habitat,
00:27:46and to ask if everything's fixed for Sunday.
00:27:49Alistair will go to Father's in his car,
00:27:53and I'll say I'm picking up Paula from somewhere remote in mine.
00:27:57Well, she'll go up by train as usual.
00:27:59This isn't just an affair, Sam.
00:28:01You won't be going back.
00:28:03We'll kill the ghosts in Salisbury Wood and then run off together.
00:28:06I might be frightened to begin with.
00:28:11A life in jeans.
00:28:12I haven't worn jeans for years.
00:28:15You worked in television once?
00:28:16I was passing time then.
00:28:18Why are you talking into your catalogs?
00:28:20Paula, darling!
00:28:21I need to see you.
00:28:24Who's this?
00:28:25His name is Sean.
00:28:27He makes investigative television.
00:28:29And this is Paula, my only child.
00:28:33Can't you go back to work or something?
00:28:35Yes, I can.
00:28:37Goodbye, Sam.
00:28:39So nice to bump into you.
00:28:44And what is it?
00:28:45I won't be coming on Sunday.
00:28:47What?
00:28:48I might not see you again for ages, actually.
00:28:50I'm not running away, but I'm rather sick of you.
00:28:55You're 24, Paula.
00:28:57You should have done this at 16.
00:28:59Better late than never.
00:29:01Goodbye.
00:29:02Paula!
00:29:02Hello, Sam.
00:29:03Hello, Paula.
00:29:05Alistair, Paula's leaving us.
00:29:07Oh, goodbye, Paula.
00:29:10Goodbye, darling.
00:29:12What is it?
00:29:13A man, I should think.
00:29:14It's time for one.
00:29:15Yes.
00:29:16Is it?
00:29:17Oh, God, Alistair.
00:29:19You really are the dullest man in art.
00:29:22You make me sicker than brother Alfred, which is saying something.
00:29:25It is.
00:29:26Alfred makes me sick.
00:29:29Goodbye, Alistair.
00:29:31Paula's got a flat of her own, so she's left us already.
00:29:35Have I missed something?
00:29:38Sam?
00:29:38Could I have sensed a need to act sooner?
00:29:52Perhaps quite differently from how I did?
00:29:55I put away so many things I didn't want to know.
00:30:01That Sunday, he still expected them for lunch after church in the cathedral, because I hadn't
00:30:07managed to tell him otherwise.
00:30:08I didn't believe otherwise.
00:30:11I know the answer.
00:30:12I would be happy if I could have stayed
00:30:12富 Wolfpack.
00:30:14Harry's was spread.
00:30:15I think they still happened to me.
00:30:22Speculation that the Chancellor may have to raise interest rates even further
00:30:26brought outspoken comment in today's papers.
00:30:28they pointed out that the increase in home ownership is already causing an
00:30:32underlying strain on disposable income and that any increase in mortgages is
00:30:36likely not only to curb the current spending boom but to increase wage
00:30:41inflation thus putting a further break on domestic industrial growth already
00:30:45under pressure the family of course is the center of all Christian imagery and
00:31:00the image of the father bears the central weight of that great metaphor as we all
00:31:08sit together around our family dinner tables today we should recall that we
00:31:13are part of one of the greatest and weightiest poems of social and
00:31:19religious significance for the family is the seat of all that is good and right
00:31:27in human life just as this great building with its mighty spire is the center of all
00:31:35that is good and right
00:31:39so where the bloody hell are they mr. Alistair will be here very soon all full
00:31:44of sparks but mr. Alfred had to attend to his capital investment in France French
00:31:49letters more like miss Sam has been called away she's got a lover I've had the
00:31:54correspondence interrupted but there's nothing I can do and miss Paula an only
00:31:59child and spoiled I told Samantha you must have two like I did but she's stubborn
00:32:05well I said a family bloody lunch and I meant a family bloody lunch your geraniums this
00:32:15morning's sermon more on this the family the great poem the begonias and God the father
00:32:24which of my children would hang themselves on a cross at my command I'm sure they're totally devoted I've
00:32:33made this family safe and all I've got to show for it is a half-wit owner of an art gallery full of
00:32:39cubes and splodges and chairs covered in milk bottle tops they'd lock him up in Stockport oh you love the
00:32:49scenery areas I painted them for you why didn't you tell me all this earlier you
00:32:56had the pleasure of anticipation and the pain of disappointment well I'm sorry so

00:33:23family paid not to let me down but I'd be out of place you'll be out of place if you don't do what

00:33:40with panic and I'd never known panic in my life I can't help it mrs. fellows I must eat with him he
00:33:48says or else be sacked I know you like my conversation of a Sunday but there's nothing to be done I'll take
00:33:56the soup and come back for the joint why was I so frightened of being sacked had I accepted my position
00:34:07as a parasite more completely than I thought and I yielded my independence was I truly part of the
00:34:15family Oh Tom Honeyman you were an arrogant fool and up above Salisbury in the woods there was more
00:34:25life happening than you could control oh it is your face ever since I was at boarding school and had my
00:34:38first crush it was a face like yours am I just a fantasy not yet so far you're still real your stomach

00:35:38miss samantha miss paula mr alpha a sort of parrot
00:35:45who's mad
00:35:49two other people prancing about without their
00:35:54good heavens it's your mother
00:35:57picking daffodils for a table
00:35:59not exactly pull something on and don't look I don't know should I
00:36:03I choose this wood for killing ghosts your father's been interfering with the public mail for years and I have to
00:36:16exorcise my anger over that by making love to you above his house
00:36:22he's made your film about him
00:36:24oh I love you I love you I love you
00:36:28I've got things to say and things to do
00:36:31I've often done things with my clothes off but hardly ever said things
00:36:35now then I've been waiting for you ever since Paula left school
00:36:40before really since she was at boarding school and I've been bored ever since I packed her off
00:36:46are we doing this simply out of boredom
00:36:49boredom is a formative experience like any other
00:36:53it makes its mark by sealing you in
00:36:55denying you existence
00:36:57forbidding any expression of yourself
00:36:59withering your feelers into life
00:37:02and the longer it goes on the more you shrink
00:37:06and you squeeze out stuff
00:37:08little excuses
00:37:10little jobs
00:37:11little illnesses
00:37:13little
00:37:14little
00:37:15which thickened the boundaries between you and life
00:37:19your thinking limbs shorten and shrivel
00:37:22so you begin to need the bandages of little doings as protection against the world where once you were
00:37:28it's a barrier of dozens of little voluntary committees
00:37:32I don't know what the ones I sat on were for
00:37:36and if you share any life at all
00:37:38it's as a trapped wasp
00:37:40a buzzfly
00:37:42whirring round charity shows and fancy dress balls
00:37:45oh the humming sessions I went to about Shakespeare with well-known actors
00:37:50the entertaining drone nights I rigged up for Alastair's artists
00:37:55and no one would have noticed if I'd stopped
00:37:58mummified by triviality
00:38:00they won't now
00:38:02no one will miss the tiny tic-tac of my life
00:38:05the frantic round of buzzing scratchings always elegant
00:38:09and pointless
00:38:11I thought the two
00:38:14want somebody like you
00:38:17all-consuming
00:38:18oh no
00:38:20that was immoral
00:38:22extravagant
00:38:23whore-ish
00:38:25but it turns out
00:38:27that I was waiting for just that
00:38:29for you to smash my life open
00:38:33how did I do that exactly
00:38:36you showed me the thrill of the chase
00:38:39you took me into the editing room on that tour of the BBC
00:38:43I'd organised for some squeaking ladies like myself
00:38:46and
00:38:47just
00:38:48shifted my whole perspective
00:38:50like giving me new glasses
00:38:52I wanted to be behind the camera where you'd been
00:38:56hunting the men
00:38:57or my father's men in this case
00:38:58I wanted to nail those awful people with you
00:39:02take those
00:39:02prying shots
00:39:04ask those impermissible questions
00:39:07feel the unforgivable passion
00:39:11then there you were
00:39:13sexy as hell
00:39:14offering it to me
00:39:15you worked in TV before
00:39:17I'll fix it if you really want
00:39:19and you did
00:39:21and we made love with such excitement
00:39:25finding out about each other
00:39:27and not caring for a second
00:39:28that my clothes were underneath
00:39:30and getting crumpled
00:39:31and I was certain then
00:39:34that the whole of me
00:39:35was twice as big
00:39:37and then twenty times as big
00:39:40as it had been before
00:39:41and what about you?
00:39:44you said
00:39:45this has to be it
00:39:47at the end of the editing session
00:39:49and I couldn't wait to be with you from then on
00:39:51I also wanted to do this
00:39:54this love
00:39:56as near your father's prison house as possible
00:39:59to kill that monstrous connection
00:40:01I thought of St. George
00:40:03how delicious
00:40:05someone else is over there
00:40:09give me that shirt
00:40:10mother
00:40:11oh my god
00:40:13Paula
00:40:13my pants
00:40:14I thought you'd left home
00:40:16what are you doing?

00:42:51as can be
00:42:52without the guilty
00:42:53feeling that
