0:01:42 > 0:01:46Ladies and gentlemen, you're all aware of what we're here for.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48This sweepstake has been inaugurated

0:01:48 > 0:01:51to provide a harmless sporting flutter

0:01:51 > 0:01:54for the domestic staff of Tottney Castle.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Get on with it! Why do you go on?

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Order! Order! Silence!

0:01:58 > 0:02:03We have come to the conclusion that soon Lady Alyce will make up her mind to get married,

0:02:03 > 0:02:06so I've put all the eligibles in this hat and whoever draws...

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Gets the pot?

0:02:08 > 0:02:14Whoever draws the happy man will become the possessor of the total subscribed.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Well, we will now proceed with the draw.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19THEY ALL CHATTER

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Thomas, the footman.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26He draws..."The Hon. Wilfred Washington Watkins."

0:02:26 > 0:02:30- Why couldn't I pull Reggie? - I don't know why you favour him.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34- With Lady Caroline backing him?- Did you ever know her not get her way?

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Antoine, our respected cook.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46"Sir George Belgrave."

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Oh, too bad!

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Now I draw.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Oh!

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Mr Reggie.

0:02:58 > 0:02:59THEY MURMUR UNHAPPILY

0:02:59 > 0:03:03That, ladies and gentlemen, concludes the proceedings.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Here! What about me?

0:03:05 > 0:03:07What about my go at the pot?

0:03:07 > 0:03:10I'm sorry. There are no more starters, my boy.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Well, what's wrong with writing me out a ticket for Mr X.- Mr X?

0:03:14 > 0:03:18Not in the field. If her ladyship turns down Mr Reggie and the rest,

0:03:18 > 0:03:21and marries some tee-total stranger, it's my pot.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Any objections?

0:03:26 > 0:03:27Very well.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32There we are. Ha!

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Ha, yourself with knobs on!

0:03:35 > 0:03:42- Want me to tell you something?- What? - Lady Alyce is in love with a young American fella she met last year.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Barmy! That's what you are!

0:03:44 > 0:03:50- Oh, barmy, am I? Then why has Lady Caroline appointed you to watch her wherever she goes?- How do you know?

0:03:50 > 0:03:53Listening at keyholes!

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Keggs, she's running off to London.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58- She told me not to tell a soul. - London? What for?

0:03:58 > 0:04:01To see Mr X. It's a walkover!

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Lady Caroline mustn't get a word of this.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05Where you going?

0:04:41 > 0:04:43No, I'm his publicity.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46About what?

0:04:46 > 0:04:50Well, you'll have to talk to my secretary. She's not in yet.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54You'd better call about 12 o'clock. She'll be in then to go to lunch.

0:04:54 > 0:04:55Hello.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00- You should have been in two hours ago.- Why? What happened?

0:05:00 > 0:05:04- What happened?- Yes.- If you're not on time, I'll get another stenographer.

0:05:04 > 0:05:09Another stenographer? Do you think there's enough work for two of us?

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Look, I mean I'm going to fire YOU!

0:05:12 > 0:05:18- Ye... Fire me!?- Yes!- If it wasn't for my father backing Jerry's first show in the United States...

0:05:18 > 0:05:21BOTH: You wouldn't be here in London now. No.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26Without him, you wouldn't work for me for two weeks.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28You wouldn't even work for me for two days!

0:05:28 > 0:05:29Not even for two minutes!

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Well, a girl couldn't ask for shorter hours than that.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Here, sharpen this pencil.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Type that letter I dictated last night?

0:05:38 > 0:05:42Well, no, I didn't have time, so I mailed them my notebook.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43I hope they read shorthand.

0:05:43 > 0:05:48Mailed your notebook! You know, Gracie, I'm beginning to think there's nothing up here.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08He says he's Brown from the Morning Sun.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Look, the man's name is Brown.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14Morning Sun is the newspaper he's working for. Tell him I'm not here.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15Oh, he's not here.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20I tell you, he's not here. Oh, you don't, huh?

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Well, ask him if you don't believe me. ..George...?

0:06:50 > 0:06:54Mr Jerry Halliday, the destroyer of feminine hearts...

0:06:54 > 0:06:57I saw a crowd of women running. Why were they running?

0:06:57 > 0:07:01- Cos you were chasing them?- No, they chased me. You and your publicity!

0:07:01 > 0:07:05Gerry, these people believe you're the same character off stage as on.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08What's the difference if you cash in at the box office?

0:07:08 > 0:07:11Thanks to you, every woman who reads rushes at or away from me.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Has it occurred to you I might like to meet a young lady

0:07:14 > 0:07:16who stands still for one second?

0:07:16 > 0:07:18AHEM!

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Sit down. Sit down! A story is a story, Jerry.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Here he is. Hide me.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36- You sir! You sir! - What's your trouble, my friend?

0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Surely not.- What do you mean? - I've been in the cab all this time

0:08:44 > 0:08:48- and I'd have noticed, sir. - Let me look inside this cab.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- I will not, sir.- Very well. I'll be bound to force my way in.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55- Then, Keggs, I'm bound to force you out.- How did you know my name?

0:09:21 > 0:09:25- I suppose you're wondering what this is about.- Oh, no! Not my business.

0:09:25 > 0:09:30And of course you're much too well bred to enquire about my business.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Of course I am. What's it all about?

0:09:56 > 0:10:00You've committed a breach of the peace. You'll be charged for this.

0:10:00 > 0:10:04Officer, I'm glad you arrived. This man is annoying me.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06There is a young lady in this cab.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Oliver Cromwell went through here in 1628.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28Well, that's fast in those days.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31- I mean he went through the castle. - Couldn't stop the car, huh?

0:19:31 > 0:19:33BOTH: No, he couldn't stop the car!

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Admission is one shilling.

0:19:42 > 0:19:46Oh, well, we usually get more than that but we'll go in.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49I don't pay the people, they pay me.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Oh. Well, then, give me my money back.- You didn't give me any money.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Well, that's not my fault.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Here's your money.- Thank you.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01- How much did he give you? - Two shillings.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04- And how much is the admission? - One shilling.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Well, then, give me my change.

0:20:06 > 0:20:11Oh, I beg your pardon, madam, I was a little confused for a moment.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Thank YOU!- Don't mention it. - Hey! Not so fast, sir.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Oh, hello there, how are you?

0:20:27 > 0:20:29I'm sorry about your hat, old man.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31This castle is not open to you.

0:20:31 > 0:20:36- I thought it was open to anyone who paid a shilling.- To you, not on payment of £1 million.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Thomas, Henry.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Eject him! ..Come, Albert.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Outside the rope.

0:20:48 > 0:20:53Oh, George, imagine meeting a deep-sea diver here. of all places!

0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Deep-sea diver?- Yes.- That's armour.

0:20:55 > 0:20:59Mr Armour must be somewhere in his underwear, he's not in his suit.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01Probably slipped out for a smoke.

0:21:01 > 0:21:02- Oh.- Oh.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06We are now in the main hall.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Bang! Bang!

0:21:14 > 0:21:16You notice what that sign says?

0:21:16 > 0:21:19"Do not finger art..." Well, I don't blame Art.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21If I were Art, I'd object too!

0:21:24 > 0:21:26I don't get it.

0:21:27 > 0:21:31Next, I would like to point out this portrait of a very famous countess,

0:21:31 > 0:21:33mother of five daughters,

0:21:33 > 0:21:35- whose husband was... - I know, an accountant.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39- Oh!- Go right ahead.- Thank you.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41I'm happy to relate that his lordship

0:21:41 > 0:21:45- gave more than £5,000 for that portrait.- 5,000lb of what?

0:21:49 > 0:21:51BOY WHISTLES

0:21:54 > 0:21:58Told you I was your friend, didn't I? Now I'll prove it.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Good boy.- Don't muss my hair!

0:22:02 > 0:22:05- Got a cigarette? - Sorry, this is the last one.

0:22:05 > 0:22:06No.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09See them?

0:22:09 > 0:22:11They're the madrigal singers.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15You can slip in with them and I'll take you to see Lady Alyce.

0:22:15 > 0:22:16Good.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18You've got here just in time.

0:22:18 > 0:22:22If I've ever seen an impatient woman, she's one.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28Now, this balcony is an historical spot

0:22:28 > 0:22:31known in family tradition as Leonard's Leap.

0:22:31 > 0:22:36In the year 1787, a young Scottish nobleman, Lord Leonard Strathbungo,

0:22:36 > 0:22:41hurled himself from that balcony to avoid compromising the beautiful Countess Of Marshmoreton.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44This was a feat of bravery and daring which,

0:22:44 > 0:22:46in the whole history of the castle,

0:22:46 > 0:22:49- has never been duplicated. Thank you.- Thank you.

0:22:50 > 0:22:55- Did he break his neck?- George, maybe he didn't like his neck.- Maybe.

0:22:55 > 0:22:59Now those of you who may wish, will be conducted by the footmen to inspect the model dairy.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Why?

0:23:01 > 0:23:03I am happy to relate

0:23:03 > 0:23:08that his lordship is the owner of no fewer than 15 hundred cows.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12- Does he herd sheep?- Oh, George, you can't say, "Does he heard sheep?"

0:23:12 > 0:23:15You mean, "Does he hear sheep?" or "Has he heard sheep?"

0:23:15 > 0:23:18- But you can't say... - ALL: "Does he heard sheep?" NO.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21Well, now we will return by way of the ballroom.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24George, isn't he a silly man!

0:23:42 > 0:23:44Now, let's all start together.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47Right-ho. And let's try and finish together.

0:26:07 > 0:26:11You're surprising her, ain't you? It'll be more romantic.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15She can creep softly in and plant a kiss on your brow.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19All right.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21Count.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02You did?

0:27:02 > 0:27:03Yes.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05You're feeling quite well?

0:27:05 > 0:27:08Well, I'm not used to all this excitement.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11Oh, one of our gardeners got sunstroke yesterday.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Is that so?

0:27:13 > 0:27:17Yes, um...he stood out in the sun too long without his hat on.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20That made HIM all funny in the head.

0:27:20 > 0:27:21Yes.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26Um...now what happens? What can I do to help you?

0:27:26 > 0:27:28Help?

0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Well, you're in distress, aren't you?- In a way, yes.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33They're keeping you prisoner.

0:27:33 > 0:27:38- Yes.- Well, I wouldn't have dreamed it possible in this day and age!

0:27:38 > 0:27:42- Locking a girl up like a prisoner to keep her away from... - The man she loves.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47How did you know?

0:27:47 > 0:27:51Um...you're quite sure about this being-in-love thing?

0:27:51 > 0:27:56- I mean, it isn't just a quick schoolgirl crush?- Oh, no.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59It's the real thing?

0:28:00 > 0:28:04Oh, well, really, I...find it quite embarrassing.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08Don't be shy. Not with me.

0:28:08 > 0:28:12I mean, I want you to just, well, tell me everything.

0:28:12 > 0:28:17But I couldn't possibly! I've only met you once.

0:28:19 > 0:28:23I'll tell you what, let's pretend I'm an old friend of the family,

0:28:23 > 0:28:25an uncle or something like that,

0:28:25 > 0:28:31and, well, you're talking about a third person who isn't here. How's that?

0:28:31 > 0:28:34It might make it easier.

0:28:35 > 0:28:36Now...

0:28:38 > 0:28:41All right. Here we go.

0:28:41 > 0:28:46Um...you do really, shall we say, um...

0:28:47 > 0:28:49- ..care for this man?- I love him.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57Why?

0:28:57 > 0:28:59Well, in the first place, he's...

0:28:59 > 0:29:02the most charming man in the world.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07And...in the second place,

0:29:07 > 0:29:10he's divinely handsome.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14You're crazy!

0:29:14 > 0:29:17Well, I beg your pardon, I think so.

0:29:17 > 0:29:21Well, all right. We won't argue that point any further.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24Go on.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26Um...American?

0:29:26 > 0:29:28Yes.

0:29:28 > 0:29:32Um...you'd say, "He's got what it takes."

0:29:34 > 0:29:38- Listen, you know, I can stand so much and then... - KNOCK AT DOOR

0:29:38 > 0:29:40Alyce! Alyce!

0:29:40 > 0:29:42- It's Aunt Caroline.- Alyce?- Yes?

0:29:42 > 0:29:44I want to speak to you.

0:29:44 > 0:29:47Just a moment. ..Get out of here. Aunt Caroline will find you.

0:29:47 > 0:29:51- The balcony.- Alyce? - But don't go near the edge.

0:29:56 > 0:30:00- Where's that man?- What man? - It's no good staring like that.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02That man was seen coming upstairs. You're hiding him.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04Psst!

0:30:08 > 0:30:12- The balcony!- Don't be silly, Aunt Caroline. The balcony?!

0:30:16 > 0:30:19Well, it appears I was mistaken. I'm sorry.

0:30:23 > 0:30:24- He did it.- Did what?

0:30:24 > 0:30:26The leap!

0:30:26 > 0:30:29- Leonard, I mean. - Well, of course he did.

0:30:29 > 0:30:33Aunt Caroline, has any man been known to do it since Leonard?

0:30:33 > 0:30:35Certainly not!

0:30:36 > 0:30:38Oh, what courage!

0:30:38 > 0:30:40Leonard, you mean?

0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Yes, Leonard, of course.- Oh.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58- Keep the motor running. - Did you see her, Jerry?- Yes, yes.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00Good. Now we can go to Paris.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03"Don't lose courage. I'll be waiting to help you.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05"What do I do next?" Thanks.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07Say, you, gardener?

0:31:07 > 0:31:10Look, where can one stay around here?

0:31:10 > 0:31:12There's several cottages down the road.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14Can you keep your mouth shut?

0:31:15 > 0:31:21Look, I want you to give this note to Lady Alyce, first chance. And here's £1 for your trouble.

0:31:30 > 0:31:34- Did you tell his lordship I wish to see him?- Yes, m'lady.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Where is he, then?- He's coming now.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40- He was taking his bath.- Very well.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44REGGIE PIPES A JOLLY TUNE

0:31:56 > 0:31:57Stop that infernal noise!

0:31:57 > 0:32:00- Yes, stop it, Reggie.- Right-ho!

0:32:00 > 0:32:03BAGPIPES WHEEZE

0:32:04 > 0:32:06Well, what is it? What is it?

0:32:06 > 0:32:09- I want to speak to you, John. - Nice time to choose!

0:32:09 > 0:32:13- Keggs, repeat to his lordship what you just told me.- Very good.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16I have been informed by the cook, who was informed by the footman,

0:32:16 > 0:32:20who was informed by the scullery maid, who had it from the milkman...

0:32:20 > 0:32:22- You forgot the first maid.- Shut up!

0:32:22 > 0:32:26Oh, go ahead, man. What did the syndicate tell you?

0:32:26 > 0:32:30That three Americans now occupy Leonard's Manor, m'lord.

0:32:30 > 0:32:34Alyce's American and his friends. They're just down the road!

0:32:35 > 0:32:39- Well, John?- What do you mean, "Well, John?" What do you expect me to do?

0:32:39 > 0:32:41You will go and horsewhip him immediately.

0:32:41 > 0:32:45Oh, but I couldn't possibly. Why, I-I hardly know the person.

0:32:45 > 0:32:48You'll do it directly you've had breakfast.

0:32:48 > 0:32:50Oh, all right, I'll think it over.

0:32:54 > 0:33:00Well, now you've rented this bungalow, what am I expected to do? Sit and watch you being a hermit?

0:33:00 > 0:33:02Where's your sense of romance?

0:33:02 > 0:33:04Did you hear what she said? Leonard lived here.

0:33:04 > 0:33:07Oh, have some sense, Jerry. Come on!

0:33:07 > 0:33:10- Oh, I can't go now. She needs me. She's in trouble.- Oh, Jerry!

0:33:10 > 0:33:14Don't be pessimistic. She may still be in trouble when you get back.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Don't unpack, Mr Halliday, he's on his way over!- Who?

0:33:22 > 0:33:25His lordship! He's coming to chase you out of the place!

0:33:25 > 0:33:27Chase me out of the place?

0:33:27 > 0:33:31Please, sir. You'd better hurry. If you don't go, he'll horsewhip you.

0:33:31 > 0:33:34How old-fashioned! Horsewhipping in this day and age,

0:33:34 > 0:33:38when they can run over him! What will they think of next?

0:33:38 > 0:33:40Please, sir. Hurry! Hurry!

0:33:40 > 0:33:44Relax, my dear boy, I'm not leaving. I like it here.

0:33:44 > 0:33:48- I'm filled with the spirit of Leonard.- Please, change your mind.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51- You can't defy him!- It's time someone defied the old wolf.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58That's him! He'll kill me if he finds me here!

0:34:03 > 0:34:06You'd better take Gracie into the next room.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08- I want to see what happens. - You'll hear.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13Oh!

0:34:28 > 0:34:30Enter.

0:34:37 > 0:34:40Oh! I was expecting someone else.

0:34:40 > 0:34:43However, peasantry is always welcome across my threshold.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46Take a stool and sit down, sir.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49- THUD! - As a matter of fact, I....

0:34:53 > 0:34:55..I was expecting your boss.

0:34:55 > 0:34:59And it would have been a most unpleasant time he'd have spent.

0:34:59 > 0:35:05Pray tell, who does he think he is, ordering me out of the county and horsewhipping me?

0:35:05 > 0:35:06I'd like to see him try it!

0:35:06 > 0:35:10What do I care if he's the earl of yon neighbouring castle?

0:35:10 > 0:35:12An earl? So what?

0:35:13 > 0:35:16And how did he become an earl?

0:35:16 > 0:35:21Because some ancestor did common people out of their lands, the old pirate!

0:35:21 > 0:35:23Want to know what else I think?

0:35:23 > 0:35:27Why, he's nothing but a... a high-binder.

0:35:31 > 0:35:33- Have you finished?- Yes.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35- I think that's all.- Good.

0:35:37 > 0:35:42- Come out, you young scoundrel! Come out!- No, lord. Please, lord.

0:35:42 > 0:35:46Please, sire. Go on, get out. Yes, m'lord. No, m'lord.

0:35:57 > 0:36:01- You're Lord Marshmoreton.- I am.

0:36:01 > 0:36:02Oh!

0:36:02 > 0:36:05Oh! Oh, isn't it awful? Isn't it terrible?

0:36:05 > 0:36:09- What's awful? What's terrible? - I can't hear a thing.

0:36:15 > 0:36:18- What's this?- The answer to the letter you gave me.

0:36:18 > 0:36:22- You mean that you gave my note to Lady Alyce?- Of course I did.

0:36:22 > 0:36:26You tipped me most liberally. There's her answer.

0:36:27 > 0:36:30- Oh, then you're on my side. - Of course I am.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32- Alyce loves you.- What?

0:36:32 > 0:36:36And I respect her judgment. She loves you, that's enough for me.

0:36:36 > 0:36:41I don't think the Marshmoretons are fenced off from the rest of the world by some sort of nobility.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44My sister does, but she's an ass.

0:36:44 > 0:36:45Isn't she?

0:36:45 > 0:36:47I mean, is she?

0:36:47 > 0:36:49Course she is! Always has been.

0:36:49 > 0:36:53Why, she wants her step-son, Reggie, to marry Alyce.

0:36:53 > 0:36:55Over my dead body, sir.

0:36:55 > 0:36:59Well, she didn't specify that, but she'd be glad if it was arranged.

0:36:59 > 0:37:04Look... We're going to take her to a fair this afternoon.

0:37:04 > 0:37:09- Caroline expects him to propose to her on the chute de chutes. - Well, I'll be darned!

0:37:10 > 0:37:12Is that all you're going to say?

0:37:13 > 0:37:15No, sir, it is not.

0:37:15 > 0:37:17Well, if I were a man in your position,

0:37:17 > 0:37:19I'd go myself and take her from him.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21That's just what I shall do, sir.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Good boy!

0:37:23 > 0:37:24Well...

0:37:24 > 0:37:27I must be getting back to my roses.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30Oh, by the way,

0:37:30 > 0:37:33if you should happen to run into my sister,

0:37:33 > 0:37:37- tell her I horsewhipped you within an inch of your life.- Right-ho.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42JERRY HUMS A CHEERFUL TUNE

0:37:42 > 0:37:43Still alive, huh?

0:37:43 > 0:37:47- Alive? I've just begun to live. - Just begun to live?

0:37:47 > 0:37:51- Why, I've just begun to live. - Oh, he's just begun to live.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53- # Oh, I've just begun to live - I've just begun to live

0:37:53 > 0:37:56# Yes, I've just begun to live I've just begun to live

0:37:56 > 0:37:59# Oh, I've just begun to live I've just begun to live... #

0:40:42 > 0:40:47Step up, ladies and gents! This way! The tunnel of love!

0:40:47 > 0:40:49All for the price of half a shilling.

0:40:49 > 0:40:54Now, I've no doubt many are shy. You'd like to pop the question but don't know how.

0:40:54 > 0:40:59Give your girl sixpence for the tunnel of love and achieve your wish.

0:40:59 > 0:41:03Get your money back if she don't fling her arms round your neck and say yes.

0:41:03 > 0:41:07When she says nothing, say, "Will you be mine?" How can she help,

0:41:07 > 0:41:12but say the word that keeps the clergyman out of the poor house? Money will be returned

0:41:12 > 0:41:16to all men who don't click in the first five minutes.

0:41:16 > 0:41:21Step up! This way for the tunnel of love. Buy your tickets and hurry in.

0:41:21 > 0:41:26- Oh, come on, George.- No, that's for children. I don't like them - never did, never will.

0:41:26 > 0:41:29- Jerry, don't get me a ticket. - Why not?- I've got a weak heart.

0:41:29 > 0:41:33Don't be silly! If Jerry pays, how can that affect your heart?

0:41:33 > 0:41:36- Come on.- No, no. Not me. I don't get pleasure out of this.

0:41:36 > 0:41:41Come along, George. It's lots of fun having fun, even if you don't enjoy it.

0:41:41 > 0:41:42Heel!

0:42:15 > 0:42:17Ah!

0:42:38 > 0:42:40- Good afternoon.- Good afternoon.

0:42:40 > 0:42:43I've, um...been hoping that I'd meet you again.

0:42:43 > 0:42:46- Oh, you have? - Yes, to thank you about yesterday.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48Did you hurt yourself?

0:42:48 > 0:42:52Oh, no, no. No. Just skinned my hands a little.

0:42:52 > 0:42:54It's nothing at all.

0:42:54 > 0:42:59- It's a lot of fun, isn't it?- It's all right.- What do they call it?

0:42:59 > 0:43:00The tunnel of love.

0:43:04 > 0:43:05Oh.

0:43:07 > 0:43:10I say, I'm with the lady in the car ahead.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12My, my! You must be a magician!

0:43:12 > 0:43:16No, but really, aren't you with the gentleman in the car ahead?

0:43:17 > 0:43:18Oh! So I am!

0:43:19 > 0:43:24Well, if we're in the car ahead, who can the people be in this car?

0:43:24 > 0:43:27Yes, that's right. There must be some mix-up.

0:43:27 > 0:43:31- Shall I strike a match?- Why hit a match? It isn't his fault.

0:43:31 > 0:43:34Although I always say...

0:43:34 > 0:43:37How do? ..Although I always say...

0:43:38 > 0:43:41Say! You're pretty!

0:43:41 > 0:43:44You know, I was about to say the very same thing.

0:43:44 > 0:43:49Why don't you say it? If you think you're pretty, you have as much right to say it as I have.

0:43:49 > 0:43:51I say, do you live here.

0:43:51 > 0:43:54No! Where I live we sit in chairs.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57I must admit something else.

0:43:57 > 0:43:58I, um...

0:43:58 > 0:44:00It's lovely weather, isn't it?

0:44:00 > 0:44:04- Yes. Shame we can't see it.- Rather. - ..How do?

0:44:04 > 0:44:08Oh, by the way, did you see the newspapers this morning?

0:44:08 > 0:44:10No. Did you see them?

0:44:10 > 0:44:11No.

0:44:11 > 0:44:14But I wished it was yesterday.

0:44:14 > 0:44:17Although I didn't see the papers yesterday.

0:44:17 > 0:44:20- Did you see the papers yesterday morning?- No.

0:44:20 > 0:44:23I never see the papers.

0:44:23 > 0:44:26- But they're nice to talk about. - Yes. They're so true to life.

0:44:26 > 0:44:29Oh, well, aren't we all!

0:44:29 > 0:44:30How do?

0:44:31 > 0:44:36- I say, everybody knows you, don't they?- Yes.

0:44:36 > 0:44:39By the way, I, um... I saw your father this morning.

0:44:39 > 0:44:42- Oh, yes?- Yes, he called at my house.

0:44:42 > 0:44:47- I thought he was a grand person. - Oh, yes.- And truthful, I suppose?

0:44:47 > 0:44:49What do you mean?

0:44:49 > 0:44:51I mean you can rely upon what he tells you.

0:44:51 > 0:44:55He wouldn't just have fun, like a practical joke or anything.

0:44:55 > 0:44:56Of course not.

0:44:56 > 0:45:00- What did he tell you?- About you. - What about me?

0:45:00 > 0:45:05He told me about you having fallen in love with...

0:45:05 > 0:45:07Oh! Well, I'm not ashamed of it.

0:45:07 > 0:45:09Course not!

0:45:09 > 0:45:11You can't help falling in love.

0:45:13 > 0:45:14I know that.

0:45:15 > 0:45:18It's like being hit by a thunderbolt.

0:45:18 > 0:45:20That's right.

0:45:21 > 0:45:25I know some people laugh at the idea of falling in love at first sight.

0:45:25 > 0:45:28- They're wrong. - I'm glad you think so

0:45:28 > 0:45:31because I did, head over heels.

0:45:32 > 0:45:33Alyce...

0:45:33 > 0:45:35SLAP!

0:45:38 > 0:45:40How do?

0:45:54 > 0:45:56You look nice and happy. What's happened to you?

0:45:56 > 0:45:59George, that was fun! Let's go down the moving stairs!

0:45:59 > 0:46:01Oh, oh, no. Come here.

0:46:03 > 0:46:06"The safest way - take the lift." Inside.

0:46:17 > 0:46:20GRACIE LAUGHS

0:46:24 > 0:46:26The safe way?

0:46:28 > 0:46:32# What made good Queen Bess such a great success?

0:46:32 > 0:46:36# What made Wellington do what he did at Waterloo?

0:46:37 > 0:46:40# What makes every Englishman a fighter through and through?

0:46:40 > 0:46:44# It isn't roast beef or ale, or home, or mother

0:46:44 > 0:46:48# It's just a little thing they sing to one another

0:46:49 > 0:46:52# Stiff upper lip, stout fella

0:46:52 > 0:46:54# Carry on, old bean

0:46:54 > 0:46:56# Chin up

0:46:56 > 0:46:58# Keep muddling through

0:46:58 > 0:47:01# Stiff upper lip, stout fella

0:47:01 > 0:47:03# Dash it all, I mean

0:47:03 > 0:47:05# Pip-pip to old man trouble

0:47:05 > 0:47:07# And a toodle-oo too

0:47:07 > 0:47:10# Carry on through thick and thin

0:47:10 > 0:47:13# If you feel you're in the right

0:47:13 > 0:47:15# Does the fighting spirit win?

0:47:15 > 0:47:18# Oh, quite, quite, quite quite, quite

0:47:18 > 0:47:20# Stiff upper lip, stout fella

0:47:20 > 0:47:22# When you're in a stew

0:47:22 > 0:47:25# Sober or blotto this is the motto

0:47:25 > 0:47:27# Keep muddling through... #

0:54:44 > 0:54:47HE SINGS

0:54:49 > 0:54:52I'm sorry, m'lady. So sorry.

0:54:52 > 0:54:58I thought it was clearly understood, Keggs, that I would not tolerate another of these outbursts.

0:54:58 > 0:55:01Yes, m'lady. I fight the urge constantly, m'lady

0:55:01 > 0:55:04but this time it seemed to get the better of me.

0:55:04 > 0:55:09A man of character, Keggs, should learn to control his passions.

0:55:09 > 0:55:11Yes, m'lady. Thank you, m'lady.

0:55:23 > 0:55:26- Father!- Just a minute, dear. I'm looking for a snail.

0:55:26 > 0:55:28It's behind this bush somewhere.

0:55:28 > 0:55:30Go round there and cut off its retreat.

0:55:30 > 0:55:32I'll teach him to eat the flowers.

0:55:32 > 0:55:35Father, do stop talking about snails. I want to ask something.

0:55:35 > 0:55:39Do you think it shows a very weak character, changing one's mind?

0:55:39 > 0:55:43- About?- About, um...for instance, um...falling in love.

0:55:43 > 0:55:45Oh, hello, what's this you're telling me?

0:55:45 > 0:55:49You've changed your mind about that ski-jumping fellow?

0:55:49 > 0:55:52I just found, suddenly, that I don't love him.

0:55:52 > 0:55:56- I suppose that delights you.- Not at all. I'm sorry, I liked the chap.

0:55:56 > 0:56:01- But you've never met him.- Of course I've met him. I called at his house yesterday to deliver that note.

0:56:01 > 0:56:03- Oh, that's not the man. - Not the man?

0:56:03 > 0:56:06No, that's the American I met in London in a cab.

0:56:06 > 0:56:10Well, whoever he is, I told him you were potty about him.

0:56:10 > 0:56:13- I gave him my blessing. - You told him I was...?

0:56:14 > 0:56:15Oh!

0:56:15 > 0:56:18- Then that's why.- Why what? - Why he kissed me.

0:56:18 > 0:56:23- Naturally. - Father, you don't understand. I slapped him.- Naturally.

0:56:23 > 0:56:25- He's a stranger. - But he's not a stranger.

0:56:25 > 0:56:28That is, in a way he is, and he isn't.

0:56:28 > 0:56:33I realised in a flash that I love him. I can't help myself.

0:56:33 > 0:56:35- I know you think I'm crazy. - Love him?

0:56:35 > 0:56:39- But you said you didn't.- I didn't say I didn't, I said I did.

0:56:39 > 0:56:43- But now he won't want anything to do with me any more.- Why?

0:56:43 > 0:56:45Because you slapped him? What rot!

0:56:45 > 0:56:49Why, your mother used to slap me frequently before we got engaged.

0:56:49 > 0:56:52You think I minded? Course I didn't!

0:56:52 > 0:56:54Showed she was beginning to take an interest in me.

0:56:54 > 0:56:59Every time I kissed her, she slapped me. Every time she slapped me, she apologised.

0:56:59 > 0:57:02And every time she apologised, I kissed her again

0:57:02 > 0:57:05and before long, there we were in a private suite

0:57:05 > 0:57:07shaking the confetti out of our hair.

0:57:07 > 0:57:11- Do you think I ought to apologise? - Well, he might kiss you again!

0:57:11 > 0:57:14Suppose he didn't. I mean, suppose he didn't forgive me?

0:57:14 > 0:57:20- He'll forgive you. Everything will end happily and I shall come along and dance at your wedding.- Father!

0:57:20 > 0:57:23You go along and do your apologising.

0:57:23 > 0:57:25I've got to get this snail.

0:57:33 > 0:57:35- Hello, Keggs.- M'lady.

0:57:38 > 0:57:40Come here, you.

0:57:42 > 0:57:44I want a few words with you in private.

0:57:44 > 0:57:48Eavesdropping is a low habit his lordship will not tolerate

0:57:48 > 0:57:52and so, young idiot Albert, I'm forced to give you the sack.

0:57:52 > 0:57:54Please, Mr Keggs, let me off this once.

0:57:54 > 0:57:59Well, I'm soft-hearted and would hate to ruin a lad's prospects.

0:57:59 > 0:58:01- Promise you won't do it again? - Word of honour.

0:58:01 > 0:58:03Very well.

0:58:03 > 0:58:05Thank you, Mr Keggs.

0:58:05 > 0:58:06Oh, by the way,

0:58:06 > 0:58:11- do you happen to have that ticket? The one marked "Mr X"?- Yes.

0:58:11 > 0:58:15- Would you mind exchanging it for the one marked "Mr Reggie"?- No chance.

0:58:15 > 0:58:16Just as you please.

0:58:16 > 0:58:20But, on second thoughts, I'll have to discharge you after all.

0:58:20 > 0:58:24Pity it is too, being dismissed without a character,

0:58:24 > 0:58:26breaking your poor old mother's heart.

0:58:26 > 0:58:30It's men like you what lead half the crimes in the country! Here.

0:58:31 > 0:58:34- Thank you.- Thank you.

0:58:36 > 0:58:39HE HUMS A CHEERFUL TUNE

0:58:45 > 0:58:47What are you so cheerful about?

0:58:47 > 0:58:49We're going to Paris!

0:58:49 > 0:58:51What are you so cheerful about?

0:58:51 > 0:58:52We're going to Paris.

0:58:52 > 0:58:55I suppose you'd like to stay here

0:58:55 > 0:58:58and play Leonard so you can save Lady Alyce again, huh?

0:58:58 > 0:59:03- I never want to see her again. - She's here.- Who?

0:59:03 > 0:59:06- The girl who slapped you.- Where?

0:59:06 > 0:59:07On the jaw.

0:59:07 > 0:59:09She's coming up the lane.

0:59:15 > 0:59:17Let's go outside.

0:59:17 > 0:59:24- The man is in love. He wants to be by himself with the girl he loves. - George, I didn't know you liked me!

0:59:24 > 0:59:27- This is so sudden. Come on.- Oh.

0:59:27 > 0:59:28Hello.

0:59:28 > 0:59:31- How do you do?- May I come in?

0:59:34 > 0:59:36Is there something I can do for you?

0:59:44 > 0:59:49- I suppose it seems very odd, my coming here like this.- Not at all.

0:59:49 > 0:59:51Neighbourly. Won't you have a seat?

0:59:51 > 0:59:55Um...no, thank you. I can only stay a moment.

0:59:55 > 0:59:57I'd feel safer if you were sitting.

0:59:57 > 1:00:01- I just wanted to speak to you. - You've come just in time.

1:00:01 > 1:00:05- I'm leaving for Paris immediately. - You're never coming back?

1:00:05 > 1:00:07You can always buy a punching bag.

1:00:07 > 1:00:10But that's what I came to speak to you about.

1:00:10 > 1:00:13I, um...came to say that I'm sorry I slapped you.

1:00:13 > 1:00:17You see, Father's just explained everything to me

1:00:17 > 1:00:19and I understand how it happened.

1:00:19 > 1:00:22Oh, I see. You father explained to you why you slapped me.

1:00:22 > 1:00:24No, no!

1:00:25 > 1:00:27Things are frightfully mixed up.

1:00:27 > 1:00:29Father made a mistake about you.

1:00:29 > 1:00:32Then after he spoke to you yesterday, well,

1:00:32 > 1:00:36- you naturally thought you were somebody else.- Naturally.

1:00:36 > 1:00:39I didn't know, of course. I thought you were being yourself.

1:00:39 > 1:00:42Then Father explained he thought you were the other man

1:00:42 > 1:00:45and how were you to know I didn't mean you? Do you understand?

1:00:45 > 1:00:49- Perfectly. - And you see why I slapped you?

1:00:49 > 1:00:51Let me get this straight.

1:00:51 > 1:00:55- Whom did you slap? Me or the other fella?- Why, you!

1:00:55 > 1:00:58- Who's the other fella?- Jeffrey.

1:00:58 > 1:01:00Jeffrey? Who's he?

1:01:00 > 1:01:03An American I met in Switzerland about a year ago.

1:01:03 > 1:01:05Oh.

1:01:05 > 1:01:07They don't want me to marry him.

1:01:07 > 1:01:10That's why they locked me up to keep me from seeing him.

1:01:10 > 1:01:13Oh, I see. Your father thought I was he.

1:01:13 > 1:01:15Naturally, I thought he meant me.

1:01:15 > 1:01:17I see.

1:01:17 > 1:01:21Well, I'm afraid I've made an awful fool of myself.

1:01:21 > 1:01:22No. No, you haven't.

1:01:22 > 1:01:26- And this chap, um...Egbert? - Jeffrey.- Jeffrey.

1:01:26 > 1:01:28- He's the man you love?- No.

1:01:28 > 1:01:30No.

1:01:30 > 1:01:32What do you mean, "No"?

1:01:32 > 1:01:36Look, I-I suddenly realised that...that I didn't love Jeffrey.

1:01:36 > 1:01:39All that had just been a schoolgirl crush

1:01:39 > 1:01:41and the reason that was so clear was, well...

1:01:41 > 1:01:44I suddenly realised that...that...

1:01:45 > 1:01:47I love somebody.

1:01:47 > 1:01:49A third man?

1:01:49 > 1:01:50No.

1:01:52 > 1:01:56Will you please stop saying no and talk sense?

1:01:58 > 1:02:01You're just about the stupidest man I ever met.

1:02:06 > 1:02:09How I fell in love with you, I'll never understand!

1:02:18 > 1:02:21- Did I hear correctly? Did you just say...?- Yes.

1:02:21 > 1:02:24- Well, are you sure it's me?- Yes.

1:02:25 > 1:02:29Well, when did you first feel this, what you just said, coming on?

1:02:29 > 1:02:33- Yesterday, in a flash, right after I slapped you.- Whoa!

1:02:33 > 1:02:35Then slapping me made you love me.

1:02:35 > 1:02:36Yes.

1:02:36 > 1:02:38Darling, slap me again.

1:02:42 > 1:02:44# Or stand on my head or anything

1:02:44 > 1:02:46# Don't think that I've lost my senses

1:02:46 > 1:02:50# It's just that my happiness finally commences

1:02:51 > 1:02:54# The long, long ages of dull despair

1:02:54 > 1:02:56# Are turning into thin air

1:02:56 > 1:02:59# And it seems that suddenly I've

1:02:59 > 1:03:04# Become the happiest man alive

1:03:04 > 1:03:07# Things are looking up

1:03:07 > 1:03:10# I've been looking the landscape over

1:03:10 > 1:03:14# And it's covered with four-leaf clover

1:03:14 > 1:03:16# Oh, things are looking up

1:03:16 > 1:03:19# Since love looked up at me

1:03:21 > 1:03:23# Bitter was my cup

1:03:23 > 1:03:27# But no more will I be the mourner

1:03:33 > 1:03:36# Since love looked up at me

1:03:38 > 1:03:40# See the sunbeams

1:03:40 > 1:03:41# Everyone beams

1:03:41 > 1:03:44# Just because of you

1:03:44 > 1:03:46# Love's in session

1:03:46 > 1:03:48# And my depression

1:03:48 > 1:03:51# Is unmistakably through

1:03:51 > 1:03:54# Things are looking up

1:03:54 > 1:03:57# It's a great little world we live in

1:03:57 > 1:03:59# Oh, I'm happy as a pup

1:03:59 > 1:04:03# Since love looked up at me... #

1:05:56 > 1:05:58When am I going to see you again?

1:05:58 > 1:06:00I do wish you could come to the ball tonight.

1:06:00 > 1:06:03To see you, I'd risk Aunt Caroline's bloodhounds.

1:06:03 > 1:06:08Father will help you get in. Besides, there'll be so many people, I'm sure no-one would notice you.

1:06:08 > 1:06:10I'll be there.

1:06:10 > 1:06:11Bye!

1:06:25 > 1:06:28MADRIGAL SINGERS SING IN CHORUS

1:06:39 > 1:06:43Beg your pardon, sir. A lady and gentleman have just arrived.

1:06:43 > 1:06:47- The lady said I was to mention the tunnel of love.- Oh, yes!

1:06:47 > 1:06:49Right-ho.

1:07:08 > 1:07:12Uncle John? Let me introduce Miss Allan, Mr Burns.

1:07:12 > 1:07:17- My Uncle, Lord Marshmoreton.- How do you do?- Swell crowd here tonight.

1:07:17 > 1:07:20- Must be taking in a lot of shillings.- Gracie, we're guests.

1:07:20 > 1:07:23- I know.- Mother, these are my friends, Miss Allan, Mr Burns.

1:07:23 > 1:07:27- How do you do?- How do? - Well, come along.

1:07:27 > 1:07:29Now, you wait here

1:07:29 > 1:07:32and I'll go and get that surprise I told you about at the fair.

1:07:32 > 1:07:36Miss Allan, is he coming here tonight, your friend, Mr Halliday?

1:07:36 > 1:07:40Oh, sure he's not coming here. You know why?

1:07:40 > 1:07:43He wasn't invited. That's why, Lord Marshmallow.

1:07:43 > 1:07:47- Gracie, it's Marshmoreton, not Marshmallow.- That's what I said!

1:07:47 > 1:07:51- Marshmallow.- Look, Gracie, Marshmallows are soft and mushy.

1:07:51 > 1:07:55Please, George! You don't know the gentleman well enough to say that!

1:07:55 > 1:07:58- I'm sorry. Would you explain that, please?- Certainly.

1:07:58 > 1:08:01Miss Allan, have you seen a toasted marshmallow?

1:08:01 > 1:08:05No, but I'm dying to see you that way. I'll bet you're a scream!

1:08:11 > 1:08:13Well, here we go.

1:08:13 > 1:08:16TROMBONES PLAY A SWING TUNE

1:08:23 > 1:08:27John, I insist you make Reggie stop that noise.

1:08:27 > 1:08:29Noise? It's dance music.

1:08:29 > 1:08:31- Swing!- Swing?

1:08:31 > 1:08:35- In Tottley Castle?- It's time the old place was brightened up a bit.

1:08:35 > 1:08:40Oh! ..Oh, how do you do? I'm so glad to see you.

1:08:42 > 1:08:44Oh, you're grand!

1:08:44 > 1:08:48- Really? Well, thanks.- Yes. Oh, you're a beautiful dancer.

1:08:48 > 1:08:50- Thank you.- Thank you.

1:08:50 > 1:08:53- If it weren't for two things, you'd be a TERRIFIC dancer.- What's that?

1:08:53 > 1:08:55Your feet!

1:08:55 > 1:08:56Pardon me.

1:09:12 > 1:09:15Makes my heart glad to see your ladyship so happy tonight.

1:09:21 > 1:09:22Why, Albert!

1:09:24 > 1:09:28- Your ladyship... - ALBERT SOBS

1:09:29 > 1:09:32Oh, goodness gracious, Albert. What's the matter?

1:09:33 > 1:09:35Your ladyship...

1:09:35 > 1:09:37Oh! I can't tell you!

1:09:38 > 1:09:41Oh, course you can.

1:09:41 > 1:09:43I won't give you away to Keggs.

1:09:43 > 1:09:46- Have you been eating green apples again?- No.

1:09:46 > 1:09:49No, it's not that, it's my heart!

1:09:49 > 1:09:51Your heart?

1:09:51 > 1:09:53- Are you in love?- No.

1:09:53 > 1:09:57But you are with someone not worthy of your attention.

1:09:57 > 1:09:59Oh!

1:10:01 > 1:10:03And I helped bring you together!

1:10:03 > 1:10:06That's what hurts! Oh!

1:10:06 > 1:10:07What do you mean?

1:10:07 > 1:10:10That American. That Halliday!

1:10:10 > 1:10:13Look what he went and wrote about you!

1:10:16 > 1:10:19Nice, young, respectable fellow I thought he was.

1:10:19 > 1:10:24I heard your ladyship was keen on him and did all I could to help.

1:10:24 > 1:10:28I should have busted his bloomin' head in when I first seen him, that's what!

1:10:28 > 1:10:30And I've a good mind to do it!

1:10:30 > 1:10:34There, there, Albert. You won't have to. Don't cry any more.

1:10:39 > 1:10:41Good evening, Mr Keggs!

1:10:41 > 1:10:44You're uncommonly gay, young Albert. Any reason?

1:10:44 > 1:10:46Wouldn't you like to know?

1:10:46 > 1:10:50- Did I hear there was £10 in the pot?- Yes. What of it?

1:10:50 > 1:10:53You wouldn't know what to do with all that money, Mr Keggs.

1:10:56 > 1:11:00- Find Father and tell him not to admit Mr Halliday.- Yes, m'lady.

1:11:03 > 1:11:08- And tell him I never want to see the gentleman again.- Yes, m'lady.

1:11:11 > 1:11:13JERRY WHISTLES "A FOGGY DAY"

1:11:45 > 1:11:48# I was a stranger in the city

1:11:49 > 1:11:52# Out of town were the people I knew

1:11:52 > 1:11:55# I had that feeling of self-pity

1:11:55 > 1:11:58# What to do, what to do What to do?

1:11:58 > 1:12:01# The outlook was decidedly blue

1:12:01 > 1:12:05# But as I walked through the foggy streets alone

1:12:05 > 1:12:11# It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known

1:12:12 > 1:12:14# A foggy day

1:12:14 > 1:12:17# In London town

1:12:18 > 1:12:20# Had me low

1:12:20 > 1:12:23# And had me down

1:12:24 > 1:12:29# I viewed the morning with alarm

1:12:29 > 1:12:34# The British Museum had lost its charm

1:12:34 > 1:12:37# How long, I wondered

1:12:37 > 1:12:40# Could this thing last?

1:12:40 > 1:12:46# But the age of miracles hadn't passed

1:12:46 > 1:12:51# For suddenly, I saw you there

1:12:51 > 1:12:54# And through foggy London town

1:12:54 > 1:12:57# The sun was shining

1:12:57 > 1:12:59# Everywhere... #

1:13:23 > 1:13:26# ..How long, I wondered

1:13:26 > 1:13:29# Could this thing last?

1:13:54 > 1:13:58- Excuse me, your lordship, are you watching for a Mr Halliday?- Sh!

1:13:58 > 1:14:01- Yes.- Lady Alyce told me to tell you he was not to be admitted.

1:14:01 > 1:14:04- What? - She never wants to see him again.

1:14:04 > 1:14:06Thank you, m'lord.

1:14:07 > 1:14:10Yoiks, yoiks, yoiks!

1:14:14 > 1:14:16Sorry, sir, you're not to be admitted.

1:14:16 > 1:14:18Oh, I see.

1:14:29 > 1:14:31Good evening, Mr Halliday.

1:14:31 > 1:14:33Good evening, Keggs.

1:14:33 > 1:14:37- It is indeed a pleasure to see you, sir.- A pleasure to see you too.

1:14:37 > 1:14:41Nothing would please me more than to assist you, Mr Halliday.

1:14:41 > 1:14:45- Do you feel all right?- Why, on a romantic night like this? Yes, sir.

1:14:45 > 1:14:48Keggs, just what's on your mind?

1:14:48 > 1:14:51Um...you, um...wish to see Lady Alyce, of course.

1:14:51 > 1:14:54- I do.- Very well. I'm happy to relate

1:14:54 > 1:14:58that I'm now in a position to extend to you a helping hand.

1:14:58 > 1:15:02You didn't exactly give me that impression the last time.

1:15:02 > 1:15:05No. Since then there's been a readjustment of matters close to me.

1:15:05 > 1:15:07As a result of which,

1:15:07 > 1:15:11Lady Alyce's wishes and yours are very close to my heart.

1:15:11 > 1:15:15Keggs, I have always felt that beneath that macabre exterior,

1:15:15 > 1:15:17there lies a heart of gold.

1:15:17 > 1:15:21Thank you, sir. Do you mind slipping in through the music room door?

1:15:24 > 1:15:28# The man who only lives for making money

1:15:28 > 1:15:30# Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny

1:15:30 > 1:15:33# Likewise the man who works for fame

1:15:33 > 1:15:38# There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name

1:15:38 > 1:15:40# The fact is

1:15:40 > 1:15:43# The only work that really brings enjoyment

1:15:43 > 1:15:46# Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant

1:15:46 > 1:15:49# Fall in love You won't regret it

1:15:49 > 1:15:53# That's the best work of all If you can get it

1:15:55 > 1:15:58# Holding hands at midnight

1:15:58 > 1:16:00# 'Neath a starry sky

1:16:00 > 1:16:02# Whoa

1:16:02 > 1:16:04# Nice work if you can get it

1:16:04 > 1:16:07# And you can get it if you try

1:16:13 > 1:16:14# Boy, it is

1:16:14 > 1:16:16# Nice work if you can get it

1:16:16 > 1:16:20# And you can get it if you try If you try

1:16:23 > 1:16:26# Waiting at the cottage door

1:16:26 > 1:16:29# Where two hearts become one

1:16:29 > 1:16:33# Who could ask for anything more? Zip-doo-doo

1:16:33 > 1:16:35# Loving one who loves you

1:16:35 > 1:16:39# And then taking that vow

1:16:39 > 1:16:41# Nice work if you can get it

1:16:41 > 1:16:43# And if you get it

1:16:43 > 1:16:46# Won't you tell me how?

1:16:48 > 1:16:51# Holding hands at midnight

1:16:51 > 1:16:55- # 'Neath a starry sky... # - Charlie's pretending he's a singer!

1:16:55 > 1:16:58- A little louder, Gracie. Everybody didn't hear you.- All right.

1:16:58 > 1:17:00Jerry's pretending he's... Ow!

1:17:00 > 1:17:02# ..Strolling with the one girl

1:17:02 > 1:17:05# Sighing sigh after sigh

1:17:35 > 1:17:39# Ho-o-o-o-w? #

1:17:45 > 1:17:46Alyce.

1:17:49 > 1:17:51I got in.

1:17:51 > 1:17:53So I see.

1:17:53 > 1:17:56Yes, but it was very difficult. Why didn't you come to help me?

1:17:56 > 1:17:58Oh, I just thought I wouldn't.

1:17:58 > 1:18:02- You just thought...?- I changed my mind.- I don't understand.

1:18:02 > 1:18:06Well, I was a little too tired to come down, I'm awfully lazy,

1:18:06 > 1:18:09and, um... it did seem a lot of trouble.

1:18:09 > 1:18:13- What's happened? What's caused this sudden change in you?- Change?

1:18:13 > 1:18:17- Why, yes. This afternoon...- Surely you didn't take that seriously!

1:18:17 > 1:18:21Imagine, man of the world like you! Do you believe everything a girl tells you?

1:18:21 > 1:18:24Yes, when it's a girl like you.

1:18:24 > 1:18:25How simple you are.

1:18:25 > 1:18:28I can't believe this is you.

1:18:28 > 1:18:30Yes, it is.

1:18:30 > 1:18:35And when you're leaving, you'll find the front door much more convenient than my balcony.

1:18:35 > 1:18:36You might fall and break your neck

1:18:36 > 1:18:39and if that happened...

1:18:39 > 1:18:41I wouldn't even notice it.

1:18:54 > 1:18:56No, it's you.

1:18:56 > 1:18:59Yes, it is. At least I think it is. I'm not quite sure.

1:19:01 > 1:19:04Albert, have you ever been in an earthquake?

1:19:04 > 1:19:09- No.- Well, I've just been in one. It's a very interesting experience.

1:19:09 > 1:19:13Going great, then all of a sudden, the bottom drops out of the world.

1:19:13 > 1:19:16Albert, my boy, we were misinformed.

1:19:16 > 1:19:19- Huh?- I mean regarding the state of Lady Alyce's feelings.

1:19:19 > 1:19:23You were mistaken, Father was mistaken, I was mistaken.

1:19:23 > 1:19:25Now I find she was mistaken.

1:19:25 > 1:19:27She does not love me.

1:19:27 > 1:19:31- Did she say so? - She did and in no uncertain terms.

1:19:31 > 1:19:33Shall I tell you something, mister?

1:19:33 > 1:19:36Yes, my boy. Make it funny - I need a laugh.

1:19:36 > 1:19:40You aren't the first to have this happen. She does it to all boys.

1:19:41 > 1:19:43Well, that's some consolation.

1:19:43 > 1:19:45Toodle-oo.

1:19:45 > 1:19:47Albert?

1:19:49 > 1:19:53Well, my little man. I've got some good news for you.

1:19:53 > 1:19:57- Thank you, Mr Keggs.- I'm going to give you back your original ticket.

1:19:57 > 1:20:02- That's fair enough, isn't it?- But I don't want Mr Halliday!- You do.

1:20:02 > 1:20:06Or would you like me to remember that I caught you eavesdropping?

1:20:10 > 1:20:13- Thank you.- Thank you.

1:20:32 > 1:20:33Ahem!

1:20:33 > 1:20:37- Well, um...now how are you getting along?- Oh, just wonderful.

1:20:37 > 1:20:39- Reggie made up his mind.- Good.

1:20:39 > 1:20:43- I don't know if she'll have me. - Why don't you ask her?

1:20:43 > 1:20:45You always ask a girl first.

1:20:45 > 1:20:48- I don't know how to do these things gracefully.- Maybe I can help.

1:20:48 > 1:20:51Just sit right down. Right there.

1:20:51 > 1:20:53That's it.

1:20:53 > 1:20:55Now, I sit on your lap like this.

1:20:55 > 1:20:57Gracie, you sit right there.

1:20:57 > 1:20:59- Oh, isn't this fun?- This is fun.

1:20:59 > 1:21:02Well, now, just carry on from there.

1:21:05 > 1:21:08Well, um... now that that's over with,

1:21:08 > 1:21:10- will you marry me?- Yes.

1:21:12 > 1:21:14Did you say marry YOU?

1:21:14 > 1:21:15Yes.

1:21:15 > 1:21:17Well, certainly.

1:21:17 > 1:21:19Well, um...

1:21:19 > 1:21:21Thank you.

1:21:21 > 1:21:23Thank you.

1:21:30 > 1:21:31George!

1:21:31 > 1:21:36- Yes?- We've just become engaged. What do we do now?- A little kiss?

1:21:36 > 1:21:38Oh, I'd be glad to.

1:21:48 > 1:21:51Would you play this, please? It's a request.

1:21:51 > 1:21:53Certainly, Albert.

1:25:01 > 1:25:05Well, I couldn't make a flying tackle, could I? I don't love her!

1:25:05 > 1:25:11Nonsense! Of course you love her. I suppose she said she doesn't love you. My dear boy!

1:25:11 > 1:25:14Her mother told me that a hundred times!

1:25:14 > 1:25:15And you married her?

1:25:15 > 1:25:19Well, you see, I, um... Of course I married her.

1:25:19 > 1:25:21At St George's, Hanover Square.

1:25:21 > 1:25:24In a dashed tight pair of trousers, I remember.

1:25:24 > 1:25:28If it isn't too personal, how did you convince her?

1:25:28 > 1:25:32By being firm, dash it! Firm! Resolute! Ruthless!

1:25:32 > 1:25:34- Oh, hello.- Hello, John.

1:25:34 > 1:25:37Alyce is just like her mother -

1:25:37 > 1:25:39always changing her mind.

1:25:39 > 1:25:43First the ski-jumper, then you. In my case it was a skating instructor.

1:25:43 > 1:25:46He was the most conceited, arrogant, supercilious...

1:25:46 > 1:25:51Oh, I'm sorry. ..What I'm driving at is Alyce needs a lesson,

1:25:51 > 1:25:55just as her mother did, and I gave it to her. I dashed to her room

1:25:55 > 1:25:59and I said, "Emmeline, I mean business."

1:25:59 > 1:26:01Oh, I see.

1:26:01 > 1:26:03You'll find her in the sitting room now.

1:26:03 > 1:26:09Though you may not imagine it, my boy, I had a reputation of being quite a fellow with the ladies.

1:26:09 > 1:26:12I can tell you an episode with a tobacconist's assistant that, um...

1:26:12 > 1:26:15Well, that's neither here nor there. Go to her.

1:26:15 > 1:26:18And I'm glad I've not been too subtle.

1:26:18 > 1:26:22Oh, um...do you think Lady Caroline will approve of this?

1:26:22 > 1:26:26Never you mind about Caroline. You do your part, I'll take care of her.

1:26:26 > 1:26:28Right-ho.

1:26:30 > 1:26:31Oh, Thomas?

1:26:31 > 1:26:34- Yes, m'lord.- Find Lady Caroline.

1:26:34 > 1:26:38- Tell her to see me in the library. It's important.- Very good, m'lord.

1:26:39 > 1:26:43- KNOCK AT DOOR Who's there?- Opportunity.

1:26:43 > 1:26:45And it only knocks once.

1:26:45 > 1:26:48- What are you doing here? - I shall need time to explain.

1:26:48 > 1:26:51And also a little privacy.

1:26:52 > 1:26:54Palma, stay here.

1:26:54 > 1:26:55Palma, go.

1:26:56 > 1:26:58- Go!- Oh!

1:27:06 > 1:27:10- This is much better. You and I, here alone.- Get out of here.

1:27:10 > 1:27:12Oh, no.

1:27:12 > 1:27:13I mean business!

1:27:14 > 1:27:17I demand that you leave immediately.

1:27:17 > 1:27:20I'm not the kind of fellow to be led on and then pushed aside,

1:27:20 > 1:27:25just another one of those fish you've caught, reeled up and then given a slap.

1:27:25 > 1:27:29This time, the fish jumps out of the water and bites YOU!

1:27:29 > 1:27:32Are you mad?

1:27:32 > 1:27:36Yes. About you. I'm like the Northwest Mounted Police.

1:27:36 > 1:27:38I always get my girl.

1:27:39 > 1:27:43- Get out of here.- Oh, anger makes you even more beautiful, Alyce.

1:27:43 > 1:27:47- I imagine you'll be interesting, after I get to know you.- Oh!

1:27:47 > 1:27:50What do you expect to accomplish by this?

1:27:50 > 1:27:53You're the sort of girl who has to have her mind made up for her.

1:27:53 > 1:27:56And I am going to bend you to my will.

1:27:56 > 1:28:00I see. It ought to make a good story for the papers.

1:28:00 > 1:28:02You...you wine press!

1:28:03 > 1:28:08- Wine press?- Beneath whose feet, women's hearts are crushed like grapes in a wine press.

1:28:08 > 1:28:11- Where did you get that?- I read it. - In a newspaper?- Yes.- Oh!

1:28:12 > 1:28:16And despite the fact that it might spoil your publicity,

1:28:16 > 1:28:19I'm not going to be number 28.

1:28:22 > 1:28:26Oh...this is the reason you changed your mind about me.

1:28:26 > 1:28:28Yes.

1:28:28 > 1:28:31Well, it's entirely untrue and not one of these women exists,

1:28:31 > 1:28:34- except in his horrible imagination. - Whose?

1:28:34 > 1:28:37That wine-press agent of mine! The idiot!

1:28:39 > 1:28:43Oh, Alyce. I can't tell you how sorry I am you've been in this.

1:28:43 > 1:28:45Number 28!

1:28:45 > 1:28:48Well, I wouldn't have minded being number 28,

1:28:48 > 1:28:51if it weren't for the other 27.

1:28:54 > 1:28:59- I beg your pardon, m'lady.- What is it?- Something very odd in Lady Alyce's room.- Quite. I understand.

1:28:59 > 1:29:02You can go, Palma. Well, go, go, go!

1:29:03 > 1:29:05You see.

1:29:05 > 1:29:09- In half an hour, it'll be all over the house.- What ARE we to do?

1:29:09 > 1:29:11There's never been a scandal in Tottney Castle.

1:29:11 > 1:29:18If I remember correctly, 150 years ago, Lord Leonard was seen slipping into Lady Marshmoreton's room.

1:29:18 > 1:29:20It had quite slipped my memory.

1:29:20 > 1:29:22Oh!

1:29:22 > 1:29:25Don't you recollect, John? They subsequently married.

1:29:25 > 1:29:31Do you seriously suggest Alyce should marry that awful bounder Halliday?

1:29:31 > 1:29:33Of course! There's nothing else to do,

1:29:33 > 1:29:36otherwise we'll be centuries living down this scandal.

1:29:36 > 1:29:38Come, John. We will act.

1:29:38 > 1:29:41Now, how will we break the good news to Aunt Caroline?

1:29:41 > 1:29:44- Father ought to tell her after we tell him.- Father!

1:29:44 > 1:29:48Yes, he doesn't believe in letting boy scouts do all the good deeds,

1:29:48 > 1:29:51- this is his chance.- Good old Father! - KNOCK AT DOOR

1:29:51 > 1:29:53Alyce! Open the door, please.

1:29:53 > 1:29:56- She mustn't find you. It'll ruin everything.- But we're to be married.

1:29:56 > 1:29:59Yes, but if she finds you, she won't understand and we'll never marry.

1:29:59 > 1:30:01Alyce! Open the door, please.

1:30:01 > 1:30:05- W-Well, what can I do? Hide? - You can't, they'll find you.- Alyce!

1:30:05 > 1:30:07Alyce!

1:30:07 > 1:30:10- What shall I do?- Do it again.

1:30:11 > 1:30:14- Do what again? - The leap. Leonard's Leap.

1:30:14 > 1:30:15- Leap?- Yes!

1:30:15 > 1:30:18Oh. Oh!

1:30:18 > 1:30:19Of course, the leap.

1:30:19 > 1:30:23But isn't there some other way that we could...

1:30:23 > 1:30:24Hurry! Hurry!

1:30:26 > 1:30:29- This one out here?- Yes, that one.

1:30:29 > 1:30:31KNOCKING CONTINUES

1:30:35 > 1:30:37Oh, you mean over here?

1:30:37 > 1:30:38Yes! Hurry!

1:30:48 > 1:30:49Wait!

1:30:56 > 1:30:59- He's done it again.- What a man!

1:30:59 > 1:31:00Young man, come back.

1:31:06 > 1:31:07- Are you all right?- Come back.

1:31:07 > 1:31:10- Into the house.- Me?

1:31:10 > 1:31:14You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Alyce! The scandal! Consider us.

1:31:14 > 1:31:16(OK. I'll come inside.)

1:31:16 > 1:31:21You know, you only go on a honeymoon once. Wouldn't you like Paris for a few days, then Venice,

1:31:21 > 1:31:26- then home to your own love nest?- Oh, George, I didn't think you cared.

1:31:26 > 1:31:30- Goodbye, Reggie.- Wait a minute, you can't leave Reggie like this.

1:31:30 > 1:31:33Don't be silly! We can't take him on our honeymoon. Goodbye!

1:31:33 > 1:31:35Goodbye.

1:31:35 > 1:31:37Goodbye.

1:31:37 > 1:31:39Ha! Goodb...

1:31:47 > 1:31:51- My boy, we win.- We do?- You'll marry Alyce.- I am?- Tonight.- You mean it?

1:31:54 > 1:31:57Come on, you Tottley Wildcats. Give!
