00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,839
Janie will probably be playing you
when I mount my play in London.
2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,719
Are you putting me in a play?
3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,119
Well, I'll have to get in
a bit of research.
4
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:13,039
I'd be awfully grateful
if you'd help me out.
5
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,639
You're not going to say
anything personal, though, are you?
6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,879
Well, of course we will,
but it won't seem personal
7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,119
because she'll have
an English accent.
8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,719
WOMAN: Baz, does your mother know
you two are an item?
9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,439
Not yet, but it's better for us,
isn't it, to wait until... after.
10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,279
After what?
11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,239
Well, you know what I mean.
My mother's got me on a short leash.
12
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,639
And I can't really afford
to piss her off at the moment.
13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,679
(LAUGHS) Why would she
be pissed off? She likes me.
14
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,879
Yes, well, as a nurse, she does,
but it's a different story
15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,879
if she knows that you're
possibly carrying the family line.

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,239
Excuse me.
20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,039
I have to go to the toilet.
Lavatory, dear.
21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,565

22
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,879
Oh, that was a fucking disaster.
Why did I have to say that?

BASIL: Flora!
MAN: Oh, go after her, dear heart!
24
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,646

where she lives.

No. Not at all.

Your mother and I share
the spirituality of the night.
29
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,965
You love her, don't you?
30
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,647
Yes. Otherwise,
I couldn't do what I do.
31
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,965
Hm.
32
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,164
Love.
33
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,970
It's so vast.
34
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:15,326
It's difficult to imagine
how one can achieve it.

00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,359
Thank you.
38
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,559
ELIZABETH: It was a charming idea
to pay me a visit, Lal.
39
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,999
I haven't seen you since...
40
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,119
I wanted to thank you in person
for my present.
41
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,679
Letters are unsatisfactory,
don't you think?
42
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,004
Yeah, I thought a gemstone
would suit you more than it does myself.
43
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,482
Do you still have your freckles?
44
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,439
They haven't
turned cancerous, have they?
45
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,679
Oh! Not that I'm aware of.
46
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,921

Uh, no, thank you.
47
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,719
Have you offered Mr Wyburd
a chocolate biscuit?
48
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,879
My husband isn't here.
49
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,599
Yes, he is.
50
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,523
He's right here in my bedroom.
51
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,439
Oh.
52
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,919
Oh, he's slipped away.
53
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,519
We girls can talk about him
now properly.
54
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,159
Milk?
Uh, no... Yes, please. Thanks.
55
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,159
Does he treat you kindly, Lal?
56
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,279
Does he love you?
57
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,439
I believe so. Thank you.
58
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,359
He's my husband,
and he's an honourable man.
59
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,039
Oh, yes.
60
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,281
Honourable, certainly.
61
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,167
And so hairless.
62
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,599
Why... why would you say that?
He isn't bald, even now.
63

Cake?
No, thank you.
64
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,129
I liked the feel of his skin.
65
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:29,648
His was the...
softest and the whitest.
66
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,679
What?
67
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,399
What are you saying?
68
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,086
It was nothing, Lal.
Just flesh on flesh.
69
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,839
It only counts
when love is involved.
70
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:46,047
My husband understood that.
71
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,199
Do you think you shall enjoy
Thorogood Village?
72
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,559
I believe your children
are confident
73
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,449
they'll find suitable accommodation
for you there.
74
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,959
Cherry Cheeseman's mother
died there.
75
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,639
Yes.
76
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,359
I believe the children are waiting
for another such vacancy.
77
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,719
You and Arnold can go there
if you think it's so nice!
78
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,449
We couldn't afford it, Elizabeth.
79
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,239
I'd like you to leave.
80
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,685
I'm tired.
81
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,002
Though not as tired
as my husband was.
82
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,489
I had to give him oxygen at the end.
Do you remember?
83
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,959
I wasn't invited
to your country home.
84
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,327
Goodbye, Mrs Hunter.
85
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,039
How was the visit?
It was awful.
86
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,679
All the staff grilling me about
the children's criminal intention
87
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,239
to put their mother away.
88
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,004
How the leak occurred,
I can't imagine.
89
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:07,285
I told.
90
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,570
You?
91
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,519
I always looked up
to Mrs Hunter
92
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,119
as somebody who was beautiful
and sometimes brilliant,
93
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,199
but she's too selfish
and too greedy.
94
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,929
Lal!
95
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,599
I suppose I didn't stop to think
that I'd been told in confidence.
96
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,319
Didn't stop to think?
97
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,290
After all these years,
not to be ethically conditioned?!
98
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,279
Do you realise
the consequences of your actions?

to one meal a day

and refusing
to accept her salary.
101
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,759
Flora surprised me with
her open condemnation of the children,
102
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,799
and Mary can't stop praying.
103
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,159
If the children applied for power of
attorney at present, they would succeed.
104

has turned lunatic!

to summons us here.

Ah, Mother.
111
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,799

112
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,439

...know about your intentions
regarding Thorogood Village.

00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,999
It is entirely my fault, I'm afraid.
118

I let it slip.

I die before they do.

recite something for me.

more suited to something lighter.

she could stay in your room.

give away my room?

No, you didn't. You know exactly
what you say. To bring up Edvard now!

exhausts me!

Go.

Otherwise he'll be very hurt.

before the storm is over.

00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,079

No-one touched me
when I was a child,

in case I got dirty, Flora.
526
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,679
DOROTHY:
It's not Flora, Mother.
527
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,444
It's me, Dorothy.
528
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,922
No, it isn't.
529
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,288
Don't you know me anymore?
530
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,759
Course I do.

Oh, jasmine.
533
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:38,239
I like... to smell nice
after I've had sex.
534
00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:40,925
Have you just had sex,
have you?
535
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:44,650
Haven't you?
536
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,008
I like... a little slut in a woman.

You have some slut in you, Flora.

So do I.

Everything Dorothy
puts in her mouth

turns into a sour lemon.

Yes.
544
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,879
Dorothy's a prissy dame.
545
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:22,880
She nearly died of shame when you
mentioned the word "penis" out loud.
546
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,046
It's not even a dirty word.
547
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,042
"Penis" is a lovely word.
548
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,359
Sounds lovelier than it looks.

No.

holding back her full radiance,

674

the light breaks from inside
all around her.
675
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:04,519
Mother's belief that she was entitled
to die whenever she damn well pleased
676

never faltered.
677
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,239

because we relish

and exhilarations of living.

if we never allowed ourselves to forget

is only a disguise
684
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,970
until we are
unburdened by death...
685
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,450
...which is our natural conclusion.
