Mother's got a bit of a chest cold. 00:15:17.190 --> 00:15:22.230 I'm sure everyone would be happy to see you though. One afternoon. 00:15:24.900 --> 00:15:27.150 I should leave you to your writing. 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.700 Peter. 00:15:33.700 --> 00:15:35.960 I'll see you later then. 00:15:45.590 --> 00:15:49.110 Why didn't you tell me, Charles? You knew it wasn't any good. 00:15:49.110 --> 00:15:52.640 Why didn't you tell me, James? You knew it wasn't any good.

Take your time. 00:16:19.710 --> 00:16:23.460 It was never meant to be taken seriously. 00:16:23.670 --> 00:16:27.260 You know what happened, James? They changed it. 00:16:28.170 --> 00:16:32.140 - They changed what? - The critics. 00:16:33.300 --> 00:16:36.350 They made it important. 00:16:41.270 --> 00:16:42.650 Hm? 00:16:42.770 --> 00:16:44.860 What's it called? 00:16:47.280 --> 00:16:49.970 What's it called? 00:16:49.970 --> 00:16:52.660 - "Play." - "Play." 00:17:03.790 --> 00:17:04.580 (whip crack) 00:17:04.590 --> 00:17:06.750 (boys) Bang, bang, bang! 00:17:07.170 --> 00:17:08.840 Bang! 00:17:10.800 --> 00:17:13.140 Return the boy to us, you nasty Injun. 00:17:13.180 --> 00:17:16.430 Our people teach boy Indian ways, make him great warrior. 00:17:16.890 --> 00:17:20.640 Our chief, Running Nose, never let him go. 00:17:20.890 --> 00:17:22.940 Bang, bang, bang! 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.860 Me wounded, Peter.

I can't tell you how many times I've been to a charity or a social event 00:19:24.600 --> 00:19:28.350 and seen your name listed among the organizers. 00:19:30.610 --> 00:19:35.440 It's the very thing I would love to do myself 00:19:35.700 --> 00:19:38.780 - if I could just find the time. - (boys snigger) 00:19:38.780 --> 00:19:42.660 My problem is in finding the time to do everything else. 00:19:42.790 --> 00:19:45.790 At the moment I am running two households. 00:19:45.790 --> 00:19:48.170 Sylvia believes she can get by without a housekeeper. 00:19:48.210 --> 00:19:49.330 Mother. 00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:51.250 My house is quite large enough for us all, 00:19:51.380 --> 00:19:55.550 - but the idea of living with me seems... - Not now, please, mother. 00:19:56.010 --> 00:19:58.840 - We help her keep the house in order. - Don't interrupt, George. 00:19:58.840 --> 00:20:02.470 - Where did you get your manners? - Sorry, Grandmother. 00:20:02.470 --> 00:20:07.940 Mr Barrie, I understand you've become playmates of my grandchildren. 00:20:08.190 --> 00:20:13.070 - Oh, they indulge me, really. - On the contrary. 00:20:13.190 --> 00:20:18.240 The other day we took to an exploration of darkest Africa in our garden. 00:20:18.570 --> 00:20:23.830 But Mr Barrie was taken ill by the bite of a... What was it? 00:20:23.830 --> 00:20:26.330 Tsetse fly. Quite horrible. 00:20:26.580 --> 00:20:29.040 Yes, and he swelled to the size of a hippopotamus. 00:20:29.080 --> 00:20:30.460 Fingers like sausages. 00:20:30.580 --> 00:20:33.960 And we had to float in him down the river like he was a great bloated raft. 00:20:34.590 --> 00:20:37.840 (Jack) But the fishing was good, wasn't it? 00:20:41.590 --> 00:20:43.430 James. 00:20:45.970 --> 00:20:48.230 - Please. - (boys snigger and laugh) 00:20:48.270 --> 00:20:51.060 - (James) Bye. - (Mrs du Maurier) Thank you so much. 00:20:51.100 --> 00:20:52.730 - (Mary) Lovely evening. - (Peter) Thank you.

Utterly painful to see. 00:21:09.580 --> 00:21:11.830 I don't know what you mean. I had a lovely time. 00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:14.080 Oh, James, please. 00:21:14.090 --> 00:21:18.460 "My problem is in finding the time to do everything else." 00:21:18.590 --> 00:21:23.140 - I never felt so judged in my life. - Judged? How do you mean? 00:21:23.140 --> 00:21:25.430 (Mrs du Maurier) A grown man, for heaven's sake, 00:21:25.600 --> 00:21:28.350 playing all day long with children? 00:21:28.770 --> 00:21:33.150 In any case, I hardly think they'll be the social contact we'd hoped for. 00:21:33.150 --> 00:21:37.530 I hadn't really thought of them that way. I just enjoy their company. 00:21:37.900 --> 00:21:41.030 He's been a good friend to us, Mother. 00:21:41.030 --> 00:21:44.870 Yes. But what does that mean? Hm? 00:21:44.910 --> 00:21:45.830 Surely you don't intend... 00:21:46.370 --> 00:21:51.330 ...to keep spending your afternoons with those children, do you? 00:21:55.380 --> 00:21:56.960 And so today, ladies and gentlemen, 00:21:58.590 --> 00:22:01.050 using only the wind and his own physical strength, 00:22:01.170 --> 00:22:04.640 George Llewelyn Davies shall test the very limits of the atmosphere 00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:07.100 using his tethered craft. Go on, boy. 00:22:07.100 --> 00:22:09.770 - (Jack) Go on, George. - (Peter) You're going to break it, George. 00:22:09.970 --> 00:22:12.060 - George, stop! - I just need a bit more speed. 00:22:12.100 --> 00:22:13.850 (Michael) I want to do it. 00:22:14.190 --> 00:22:16.860 Hold off a bit, George. I think it's in need of a tail. 00:22:16.860 --> 00:22:18.730 (Sylvia) Oh, wait. 00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:22.400 - Here. James, this will do. - That's a good idea. 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:24.530 - (George) No, it's not heavy enough. - (Michael) I want to do it. 00:22:24.780 --> 00:22:28.530 - You coming, Peter? - (James whistles) Porthos! 00:22:28.700 --> 00:22:30.750 Lt'll work this time. 00:22:30.790 --> 00:22:33.750 Porthos, give us your bell.

Run, Michael! - Run! 00:22:58.690 --> 00:23:02.740 - Oh, I told you this wasn't going to work. - I don't think he's fast enough. 00:23:02.900 --> 00:23:04.740 It's not going to work if no one believes in him. 00:23:04.900 --> 00:23:07.240 - Now, give him a chance. - Michael, go back to your starting position. 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:09.660 - Come on, darling, try again. - George, you take the kite. 00:23:09.780 --> 00:23:15.830 Now this time, I don't want a flea's breath of doubt. We must get that kite in the air. 00:23:16.290 --> 00:23:19.130 (Sylvia) Right. Look, I think I feel a bit more breeze. Are you ready, Michael? 00:23:19.170 --> 00:23:22.130 - You can do it, Michael. - You've got to run. Run, Michael, run. 00:23:22.130 --> 00:23:24.050 - (all) Run! - (James) That's it! 00:23:24.590 --> 00:23:28.090 (George) Yes! He did it! 00:23:28.090 --> 00:23:31.350 (Jack) Keep running!

That's a fantastic idea. Why not give it a try? 00:24:31.620 --> 00:24:36.330 I hope you haven't been talking about anything too serious with this one. 00:24:36.700 --> 00:24:40.620 No. Talking a bit of silliness really. 00:24:49.380 --> 00:24:51.340 Can we have him for supper? 00:24:51.390 --> 00:24:53.760 Have him to stay for supper, Michael. We're not cannibals. 00:24:53.890 --> 00:24:55.260 You are welcome, you know. 00:24:55.390 --> 00:24:57.850 (laughter) 00:24:57.890 --> 00:25:00.420 Sylvia. Mr Barrie. 00:25:00.420 --> 00:25:02.940 Where have you been? 00:25:03.190 --> 00:25:04.860 Flying a kite, Mother, and having a wonderful time. 00:25:05.190 --> 00:25:06.940 I'm sorry. I didn't know you were coming this evening. 00:25:07.190 --> 00:25:10.200 No? Well, apparently you forgot then. 00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:13.240 - I brought some supper along for us all. - You didn't need to do that. 00:25:13.410 --> 00:25:15.830 Well, there's no food in the house, is there? 00:25:15.870 --> 00:25:18.040 Really. You don't need to wait till the cupboard is bare. 00:25:18.290 --> 00:25:20.000 Please, Mother. Come on, darlings. 00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:23.130 Wipe feet. There's been enough tracking round here. 00:25:23.500 --> 00:25:26.630 George, I thought you said you were going to help your mother take care of the house. 00:25:26.630 --> 00:25:28.840 Coat, Michael, please. Yes. 00:25:29.300 --> 00:25:33.550 - And... coat hanger. Good. - (Michael) Will we see you tomorrow? 00:25:33.550 --> 00:25:36.640 No. You're going to be helping round the house tomorrow. 00:25:36.890 --> 00:25:39.430 Mother, there is absolutely no need for this. 00:25:39.770 --> 00:25:42.140 You can't do everything yourself. 00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:47.530 Look at you. You're horribly flush. You're wearing yourself out. 00:25:47.530 --> 00:25:50.950 Thank you for a lovely day, James. Excuse me, Mother. 00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:57.030 So from tomorrow, we're going to have some discipline around here. 00:25:57.040 --> 00:26:01.660 And not one of you will escape. 00:26:06.670 --> 00:26:08.460 - Good evening, Mr Barrie. - Good evening, Sarah. 00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:12.630 - Good evening, Mr Barrie. - Good evening, Emma. 00:26:20.770 --> 00:26:22.730 You missed supper. 00:26:24.190 --> 00:26:27.570 Perhaps I'll have something later. I have a bit of writing I wanted to do. 00:26:27.570 --> 00:26:31.650 Are you sure? It was a lovely meal. Duck. 00:26:31.990 --> 00:26:35.740 Sarah let Emma cook this evening. 00:26:35.910 --> 00:26:40.160 Is that right? Listen, what would you think of loaning Emma out to the Davies 00:26:40.370 --> 00:26:41.830 for the occasional evening? 00:26:41.870 --> 00:26:44.250 They don't actually have a cook. 00:26:45.210 --> 00:26:48.540 I take it Mrs Davies enjoyed the meal that she had here? 00:26:51.590 --> 00:26:55.130 I imagine she could use an extra hand now and again. That's all. 00:26:55.140 --> 00:26:57.850 That's very charitable of you. 00:26:58.970 --> 00:27:02.060 Perhaps we can send over some of the silver as well. 00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:04.480 And what about linen? 00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:07.440 I wouldn't be surprised if some of hers was looking a bit shabby. 00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:09.730 Please, Mary, stop. 00:27:10.900 --> 00:27:14.950 Maybe she can send over some of the things we've run short on. 00:27:14.950 --> 00:27:17.660 My husband, for example. 00:27:18.570 --> 00:27:21.740 We rarely see him in this house. 00:27:22.080 --> 00:27:24.750 That hasn't seemed to bother you for some time now. 00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:27.460 (clatter) 00:27:28.790 --> 00:27:30.630 (rumble of thunder) 00:28:04.700 --> 00:28:07.540 (carriage draws up, horses whinny) 00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:15.760 (James) Lords and ladies, His Royal Highness, King Michael the Benevolent, 00:28:15.800 --> 00:28:18.300 protector of the realm. 00:28:18.300 --> 00:28:21.140 (Peter) That scepter's made of wood. 00:28:21.300 --> 00:28:24.270 Yes, well, we dream on a budget here, don't we? 00:28:24.810 --> 00:28:29.850 No, I mean, everyone thinks it's made of gold, but it's just an old hunk of wood. 00:28:29.860 --> 00:28:32.150 The means to an end, Peter. 00:28:32.690 --> 00:28:36.150 What we've done is taken an old hunk of wood 00:28:36.190 --> 00:28:40.450 and transformed it for all the world to see into the most magnificent gold. 00:28:41.570 --> 00:28:45.160 - There you go. - What's this? 00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:50.750 All great writers begin with a good leather binding and a respectable title. 00:28:51.290 --> 00:28:53.540 Open it. 00:28:56.590 --> 00:28:58.550 "The Boy Castaways." 00:28:58.590 --> 00:29:03.140 "Being a record of the terrible adventures of the brothers Davies, 00:29:03.600 --> 00:29:08.100 faithfully set forth by... Peter Llewelyn Davies." 00:29:08.100 --> 00:29:11.060 Kipling would swallow his own ear for a title like that. 00:29:11.190 --> 00:29:14.150 Stab him, George. You can do it. 00:29:14.690 --> 00:29:17.230 I still have no idea what to write. 00:29:17.570 --> 00:29:20.030 Write about anything. Write about your family. 00:29:20.280 --> 00:29:23.030 - Write about the talking whale. - What whale? 00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:29.160 The one that's trapped in your imagination and desperate to get out. Come sit down. 00:29:32.380 --> 00:29:36.340 I have actually begun writing about the adventures of the Davies brothers myself. 00:29:36.380 --> 00:29:39.630 - A play? - A play indeed, yes. 00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:42.340 And I would be extremely honored 00:29:42.390 --> 00:29:46.850 if you would allow me the use of your name for one of the characters. 00:29:46.890 --> 00:29:49.640 I don't know what to say. 00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:51.440 Say yes. 00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:54.400 Good man. 00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:56.440 Porthos! That's mine. Let go. 00:29:56.770 --> 00:29:59.570 (Michael) I won't go to bed. I won't, I won't. 00:29:59.570 --> 00:30:04.450 You should have been in bed half an hour ago, young man. 00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:07.740 I'm afraid I've grown hopelessly lax in my discipline. 00:30:07.740 --> 00:30:11.040 Nonsense. Young boys should never be sent to bed. 00:30:11.210 --> 00:30:14.250 They always wake up a day older. 00:30:14.500 --> 00:30:18.460 And then, before you know it, they're grown. 00:30:18.500 --> 00:30:20.510 Their father would have been horrified. 00:30:20.510 --> 00:30:22.630 Of course, he never would have allowed a dog in the house either. 00:30:22.970 --> 00:30:25.550 He'd have tied him up in the yard. 00:30:25.590 --> 00:30:29.430 Right! Last one in bed's a hairy toad. 00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.530 You mean a lot to my boys, you know. 00:31:24.070 --> 00:31:26.860 Especially Peter. 00:31:27.570 --> 00:31:31.660 It seems to me that Peter's trying to grow up too fast. 00:31:33.580 --> 00:31:39.250 I imagine he thinks that grown-ups don't hurt as deeply as children do when they... 00:31:39.250 --> 00:31:41.630 when they lose someone. 00:31:44.590 --> 00:31:49.430 I lost my elder brother, David, when I was just Peter's age. 00:31:49.600 --> 00:31:52.560 And it nearly destroyed my mother. 00:31:53.100 --> 00:31:56.060 James, I'm so sorry. 00:31:57.100 --> 00:32:00.940 Your poor mother. I can't imagine losing a child. 00:32:01.110 --> 00:32:03.030 Aye. 00:32:04.070 --> 00:32:06.450 She didn't get out of bed for months. 00:32:06.780 --> 00:32:09.160 She wouldn't eat. 00:32:09.410 --> 00:32:12.540 I tried everything to make her happy, but... 00:32:13.870 --> 00:32:16.250 she only wanted David. 00:32:16.370 --> 00:32:17.960 So... 00:32:18.080 --> 00:32:20.130 one day... 00:32:21.170 --> 00:32:24.260 I dressed myself in David's clothing 00:32:26.670 --> 00:32:29.090 and I went to her. 00:32:29.090 --> 00:32:32.260 You must have frightened her to death. 00:32:32.470 --> 00:32:38.230 I think it was the first time she ever actually... looked at me. 00:32:42.900 --> 00:32:45.940 And that was the end of the boy James. 00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:51.240 I used to say to myself he'd gone to Neverland. 00:32:51.280 --> 00:32:53.330 Where? 00:32:53.370 --> 00:32:56.950 Neverland. It's a wonderful place. 00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:10.260 I've not spoken about this before to anyone. 00:33:10.890 --> 00:33:12.760 Ever. 00:33:22.690 --> 00:33:26.650 What's it like... Neverland? 00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:32.240 One day I'll take you there. 00:33:33.780 --> 00:33:35.450 (Charles) Wait a minute, James. He's a fairy? 00:33:35.790 --> 00:33:39.460 Er, no. He's the irrepressible spirit of youth. Tinker Bell is the fairy. 00:33:39.460 --> 00:33:42.540 - Tinker Bell is a woman? - She's not a woman. She's a fairy. 00:33:42.790 --> 00:33:45.750 He is a boy who stays young forever. 00:33:45.800 --> 00:33:48.130 James, how does anyone stay young forever? It doesn't work. 00:33:48.300 --> 00:33:50.930 He just believes, Charles. He imagines life the way he wants it to be, 00:33:51.300 --> 00:33:56.430 and he believes in it long enough and hard enough that it all appears before him, see? 00:33:56.430 --> 00:33:58.930 James, I'm your friend. You're coming off a flop. 00:33:59.270 --> 00:34:03.560 - You have a man who is a fairy. - No, a boy who has a fairy. 00:34:03.560 --> 00:34:05.230 And this girl calls herself Tinker. 00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:09.440 And you have a pirate ship on stage surrounded by tons and tons of water. 00:34:09.490 --> 00:34:11.490 - That's a lot of water. - It's a lot of water. 00:34:11.490 --> 00:34:15.240 - Yes, and that's a lot of money. - It is, but we can fake the water. 00:34:15.490 --> 00:34:18.240 Oh, well, if we can fake the water then I'm sure your play will be a hit. 00:34:18.490 --> 00:34:21.830 You know what I think I'll do? I think I'll imagine life the way I want it to be... 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:22.830 Long enough and hard enough? 00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:27.340 Yes, and then the money for the play will appear magically before me. 00:34:27.500 --> 00:34:29.260 - That's right. That's it. - Yes. 00:34:29.510 --> 00:34:32.340 How does the clock wind up inside the crocodile? 00:34:32.470 --> 00:34:34.640 - He swallows it. - Ah, of course he does. 00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:38.260 (men) Out! 00:34:40.600 --> 00:34:42.100 How was he? 00:34:42.100 --> 00:34:43.940 - Well done. - (woman) Good show! 00:34:46.110 --> 00:34:48.230 I finally get the courage to invite the boys to a game 00:34:48.230 --> 00:34:51.240 and we have to suffer this grave humiliation. 00:34:51.490 --> 00:34:53.190 It's perfect actually. 00:34:53.200 --> 00:34:55.450 Spend a good deal of time with them, don't you? 00:34:55.700 --> 00:34:57.950 Every moment I can spare, in fact. 00:34:58.200 --> 00:35:00.330 I'm glad for you. 00:35:00.700 --> 00:35:04.250 And Mrs Davies seems to be having a good time of it as well. 00:35:04.290 --> 00:35:08.840 You should be aware though, James, what some people have been saying. 00:35:09.300 --> 00:35:13.050 Mind you, I wouldn't bring it up if I thought the rumors would pass. 00:35:13.300 --> 00:35:16.050 I'm not surprised. What are they saying? 00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:19.300 V ery well. 00:35:19.310 --> 00:35:22.730 That you spend much more time with Mrs Davies than you do with your own wife. 00:35:22.770 --> 00:35:25.440 She's a widow. And... 00:35:25.900 --> 00:35:29.150 And a friend. That's it. Nothing more. 00:35:29.900 --> 00:35:35.150 There have also been questions about how you spend your time with those boys. 00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:37.450 And why. 00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:42.540 That's outrageous. How could anyone think something so evil? 00:35:42.790 --> 00:35:47.250 They're children. They're innocent children. 00:35:48.500 --> 00:35:50.540 You find a glimmer of happiness in this world, 00:35:50.590 --> 00:35:52.960 there's always someone who wants to destroy it. 00:35:53.090 --> 00:35:59.430 No. Thank you, Arthur, but I don't think many will give credence to such nonsense. 00:35:59.600 --> 00:36:02.060 Then why is no one sitting with them? 00:36:03.390 --> 00:36:06.060 Once you get a bit of notoriety, James, 00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:12.360 people watch you and they will look for ways to drag you down. 00:36:15.990 --> 00:36:18.740 (Sylvia) Are you sure your wife doesn't object to us taking over your cottage 00:36:18.740 --> 00:36:19.870 for the summer, James? 00:36:20.070 --> 00:36:22.330 - She doesn't go there anymore. - Really? 00:36:22.490 --> 00:36:25.250 It's such a relief to get away. You'll come and visit, I hope? 00:36:25.500 --> 00:36:28.250 - Of course. Are we in? - Everyone in? 00:36:28.500 --> 00:36:31.340 - Can I drive, Uncle Jim? - Er, no. 00:36:31.500 --> 00:36:32.460 (laughter) 00:36:34.590 --> 00:36:37.050 (horn) 00:36:46.600 --> 00:36:48.560 Out of the way or I'll make haggis out of you. 00:36:49.100 --> 00:36:51.150 (Michael) Get the sheep out the way. 00:36:51.770 --> 00:36:54.150 (horn) 00:37:08.500 --> 00:37:12.130 - (Peter) Are we there yet? - (James) Almost. Almost there. 00:37:12.500 --> 00:37:15.460 (George) I can see the cottage! 00:37:33.270 --> 00:37:36.230 - (Jack) Shall we explore, Michael? - Don't tear your clothes, please. 00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:39.240 - Come on. Follow me. - (Sylvia) Be careful of stinging nettles. 00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:40.240 (Jack) Hurry up, everyone. 00:37:46.290 --> 00:37:49.960 - Would you like to see the rest of it? - Mm. Yes. 00:38:11.890 --> 00:38:13.400 'Ello! 00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:16.360 Thought you could escape from Captain Swarthy, eh? 00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:20.440 Off to the ship with you, then. Off to the ship, son! 00:38:22.910 --> 00:38:27.030 So now you can either choose to become a pirate with the rest of us, 00:38:27.370 --> 00:38:30.040 or we'll toss you to the sharks. 00:38:30.580 --> 00:38:35.460 - (Michael) How marvelous. - Well, maybe the crocodiles, eh? 00:38:35.580 --> 00:38:38.960 - No one's escaped, Captain. - Excellent work, matey. 00:38:39.090 --> 00:38:39.960 Now then. 00:38:40.090 --> 00:38:43.430 Now is your only chance to speak. 00:38:43.590 --> 00:38:46.930 Who amongst you is ready to tie your hopes and dreams to the sea? 00:38:47.100 --> 00:38:49.350 - I am! - Not finished yet. 00:38:49.390 --> 00:38:52.730 To enter upon the most dangerous chapter 00:38:52.890 --> 00:38:56.230 in your young and soon-to-be-wasted lives? 00:38:56.270 --> 00:38:57.360 (giggling) 00:38:57.610 --> 00:38:59.530 What did you say? What are doing, son? 00:38:59.570 --> 00:39:02.740 Are you giggling? On my ship? Giggling? What did you say? 00:39:03.070 --> 00:39:05.240 - I said I'm ready, Captain. - What's your name, boy? 00:39:05.570 --> 00:39:08.450 I'm Curly, the oldest and wisest of the crew. 00:39:08.580 --> 00:39:10.830 Cut him loose, matey. 00:39:11.080 --> 00:39:15.250 Welcome aboard, Curly.

It says here I'm to play the nanny. 00:40:29.990 --> 00:40:35.160 - I don't imagine I quite fit that part, eh? - You're not actually the nanny. 00:40:35.160 --> 00:40:37.040 You're a dog. 00:40:37.500 --> 00:40:39.500 - What? - A Newfoundland. 00:40:39.500 --> 00:40:41.840 We'll put you in a great big fluffy dog suit. 00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:44.460 Rrr. 00:40:45.510 --> 00:40:47.630 Oh, right. 00:40:49.470 --> 00:40:53.060 Actually, we don't have a Tinker Bell cast, do we? He could play Tinker Bell. 00:40:53.600 --> 00:40:57.440 Heavens, no. Tinker Bell's a light. It moves around the stage. 00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:00.060 Just a wee light that moves around the stage. 00:41:02.980 --> 00:41:05.030 Bit worried about this. 00:41:05.480 --> 00:41:09.030 (Charles, under his breath) Let's see. We've got John Darling, Michael Darling, 00:41:09.030 --> 00:41:12.030 Tiger Lily, Smee, Skylights. 00:41:12.490 --> 00:41:16.540 It's a play for puppets. Tootles, Nibs, Curly. 00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:19.540 All these names are absurd when you see them all together. 00:41:19.540 --> 00:41:21.630 Captain Hook, S... 00:41:22.500 --> 00:41:25.550 (under his breath) Oh, hello, James. 00:41:27.010 --> 00:41:28.470 You're out of your mind. 00:41:28.510 --> 00:41:31.260 (door opens and closes) 00:41:40.980 --> 00:41:43.230 How were rehearsals? 00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:48.940 Fine.

He's just arrived. 00:42:49.010 --> 00:42:53.930 But I said I'd get him. They always send Peter to do things. I said I'll do it. 00:42:54.300 --> 00:42:58.310 - It will spoil the surprise. - What surprise, darling? 00:42:58.310 --> 00:43:02.940 It's a great surprise. We've taken most of the day preparing for it. 00:43:03.390 --> 00:43:07.480 - Everybody's waiting for you. - Then we mustn't keep them waiting. 00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:11.860 (gasps) Please don't tell them that I told you the surprise. I said I wouldn't. 00:43:11.990 --> 00:43:13.860 Oh, well, you didn't really tell us anything about it, did you? 00:43:13.860 --> 00:43:17.740 - Yes I did. It's a play. - It's a play? 00:43:19.290 --> 00:43:21.330 (medieval music) 00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:32.630 (Peter) "The Lamentable Tale of Lady Ursula." 00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:35.930 "A play in one act by Peter Llewelyn Davies." 00:43:38.680 --> 00:43:42.850 - This is just a bit of silliness, really. - I should hope so. Go on. 00:43:42.980 --> 00:43:45.440 I just wanted to take a stab at writing, you know. 00:43:45.690 --> 00:43:48.150 Well, the others do a good job with it anyway. 00:43:48.270 --> 00:43:50.360 Well, let's see it then. 00:43:52.570 --> 00:43:56.160 "The Lamentable Tale of Lady Ursula." 00:43:56.570 --> 00:43:58.570 "One morning, just after sunrise, 00:43:58.570 --> 00:44:02.160 Lady Ursula, the most beautiful daughter of Lord and Lady Dubon, 00:44:02.370 --> 00:44:07.630 made her way up the steps of the great cathedral to pray to her blessed saint." 00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:10.730 "Suddenly, as she reached the cathedral doors, 00:44:10.730 --> 00:44:13.460 the gargoyle that guarded the sacred structure 00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:16.340 came to life and swooped down upon her." 00:44:16.470 --> 00:44:18.550 (Sylvia coughs) 00:44:18.800 --> 00:44:20.930 "The people of the village all ran to safety, 00:44:20.970 --> 00:44:23.770 but Lady Ursula slipped on the cathedral steps 00:44:23.770 --> 00:44:27.940 and the gargoyle descended upon her, wrapping her in its huge wings 00:44:28.270 --> 00:44:32.530 and taking her high up into the spires of the cathedral." 00:44:32.780 --> 00:44:36.150 - Go on, Peter. - "Not long after this sorrowful event, 00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:40.950 a young knight named JM Barnaby came into the city." 00:44:41.700 --> 00:44:43.950 Sylvia. 00:44:44.290 --> 00:44:46.660 - Do you want some water? - Mother? 00:44:46.790 --> 00:44:50.250 - No, James. - Let's get her back to the house. Go on. 00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:57.930 She won't discuss it with me at all. She claims it was nothing. 00:44:57.930 --> 00:45:00.890 I tell you, Doctor, she couldn't breathe. 00:45:00.890 --> 00:45:04.430 You can't very well treat a patient who won't admit there's anything wrong. 00:45:04.890 --> 00:45:08.350 Well, you'll have to make her understand that something is. 00:45:08.390 --> 00:45:12.150 - I'll try and do my best. - Great. Just there. 00:45:42.970 --> 00:45:45.260 Get your hand flat like that. 00:45:46.390 --> 00:45:48.350 Ow. 00:45:49.390 --> 00:45:51.650 Then... Like that. 00:46:16.090 --> 00:46:18.130 (knock at door) 00:46:18.170 --> 00:46:20.260 Come in. 00:46:29.180 --> 00:46:32.850 The good doctor didn't feel up to the challenge on this one. 00:46:33.190 --> 00:46:36.650 He thinks you need to go to hospital for further tests. 00:46:36.690 --> 00:46:40.150 Nonsense. When would I have time for that? 00:46:40.190 --> 00:46:44.450 Besides, this family's had enough of hospitals. 00:46:45.700 --> 00:46:49.250 - Perhaps they can help you. - I know what they can do for me. 00:46:49.700 --> 00:46:52.710 I saw what they did for my husband. 00:46:52.710 --> 00:46:55.960 No, James. I've no interest in hospitals. 00:46:57.170 --> 00:46:59.760 I'm keenly interested in having some supper. 00:47:02.170 --> 00:47:04.260 (banging and crashing) 00:47:29.580 --> 00:47:34.040 What did you and Mother decide to tell us this time? "It's only a chest cold"? 00:47:34.500 --> 00:47:36.960 - We hadn't decided anything. - Stop lying to me! 00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:40.050 I'm sick of grown-ups lying to me. 00:47:40.380 --> 00:47:43.300 I'm not lying to you. I don't know what's wrong. 00:47:43.300 --> 00:47:47.760 "Father might take us fishing," that's what she said. "In just a few weeks." 00:47:48.100 --> 00:47:50.510 And he died the next morning. 00:47:50.520 --> 00:47:52.930 That wasn't a lie, Peter. 00:47:53.270 --> 00:47:54.270 That was your mother's hope. 00:47:54.270 --> 00:47:58.650 He barely moved for a week, but I started planning our fishing trip. 00:47:58.900 --> 00:48:02.860 I will never lie to you. I promise you that. 00:48:02.990 --> 00:48:06.530 No, all you'll do is teach me to make up stupid stories 00:48:06.910 --> 00:48:11.330 and pretend that things aren't happening until... 00:48:14.870 --> 00:48:17.250 I won't! I'm not blind. 00:48:17.500 --> 00:48:19.960 I won't be made a fool. 00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:23.840 What's this? Peter. 00:48:24.170 --> 00:48:26.260 The play. 00:48:26.800 --> 00:48:30.050 Darling, I wanted to see the rest of it. 00:48:31.810 --> 00:48:35.230 Magic's gone out of it a bit now, hasn't it? 00:48:35.770 --> 00:48:38.440 All because of a silly chest cold. 00:49:08.090 --> 00:49:11.260 (speak in low voices) 00:49:22.770 --> 00:49:24.650 James. 00:49:26.780 --> 00:49:29.160 Well, you remember Gilbert Cannan, don't you? 00:49:29.280 --> 00:49:30.280 Good evening. 00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:36.450 Mr Cannan has been working on the committee to fight government censorship. 00:49:36.790 --> 00:49:39.250 I know how involved you've been as well. 00:49:39.290 --> 00:49:44.550 He wanted to speak to you. I did think you'd be home so much sooner. 00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:47.340 It's been a long evening, Mary. 00:49:48.300 --> 00:49:50.260 Yes. 00:49:50.300 --> 00:49:52.800 Well, if I'd realized how late it was, of course. 00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:56.060 I should perhaps talk to you at another time? Not so late? 00:49:56.310 --> 00:49:58.350 That will be fine. 00:50:00.770 --> 00:50:02.770 We'll talk then. 00:50:02.770 --> 00:50:05.650 Thank you for your patience, Mrs Barrie. 00:50:05.780 --> 00:50:07.530 Mr Barrie. 00:50:07.780 --> 00:50:09.950 - Good night. - Night. 00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:30.030 Well, aren't you going to speak? 00:50:30.030 --> 00:50:33.050 What would you like me to say? 00:50:33.890 --> 00:50:37.260 "Curious how late Mr Cannan stayed," I suppose. 00:50:37.390 --> 00:50:40.850 And then, let's see. What comes next? 00:50:42.900 --> 00:50:45.860 "No later than you were out, James." 00:50:45.900 --> 00:50:48.650 "And how is Mrs Davies this evening?" 00:50:49.570 --> 00:50:51.950 Oh, yes, I would have a great answer for that one, wouldn't I? 00:50:51.950 --> 00:50:53.660 How dare you. 00:50:56.200 --> 00:50:58.540 This isn't one of your plays. 00:50:58.700 --> 00:51:02.460 I know that, Mary. It's quite serious. 00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:08.130 But I'm not ready for this conversation, wherever it may lead. 00:51:08.500 --> 00:51:13.340 Perhaps we can talk in the morning, yes? Good night then. 00:51:20.470 --> 00:51:22.560 (door shuts) 00:52:36.380 --> 00:52:40.810 Mr Barrie. Don't you agree this is a little bit tight? 00:52:40.810 --> 00:52:45.230 - No. No, in fact I think it's quite... baggy. - Baggy? 00:52:45.390 --> 00:52:48.060 Quite frumpy. I'd bring it right in just there. 00:52:48.190 --> 00:52:49.730 That's very tight. 00:52:50.190 --> 00:52:52.650 And put maybe a plank of wood there to straighten him up. 00:52:52.690 --> 00:52:54.650 - Oh, aye. Yes, Mr Barrie. - Plank of wood? 00:52:54.690 --> 00:52:57.030 Some wood there on the shoulders as well. 00:52:57.200 --> 00:53:01.030 - Otherwise, it's marvelous. - Right, sir. 00:53:01.990 --> 00:53:03.830 (Porthos barks) 00:53:12.300 --> 00:53:13.250 (gasps) 00:53:13.380 --> 00:53:16.260 - You'll be sick tomorrow. - I'll be sick tonight. 00:53:16.380 --> 00:53:19.140 (quacking) 00:53:20.300 --> 00:53:22.640 James. 00:53:22.810 --> 00:53:26.560 We're just having some tea. You remember my mother, of course. 00:53:26.770 --> 00:53:29.940 Yes. Of course. How do you do? 00:53:32.270 --> 00:53:36.150 - May I take your hat? - (Mrs du Maurier) That's enough, boys. 00:53:39.570 --> 00:53:42.030 Boys, please don't run in the house. You'll break something. 00:53:42.370 --> 00:53:44.330 Come away from that door. Come on, come on. 00:53:44.490 --> 00:53:47.660 (Mrs du Maurier) I'd like a word with you, Mr Barrie, before you go. 00:53:47.660 --> 00:53:49.750 We'll only be a few minutes. 00:53:50.210 --> 00:53:52.460 Boys, why don't you go and play in the garden? Go on. 00:53:52.460 --> 00:53:54.050 - Is he in trouble? - Sh. 00:53:54.500 --> 00:53:58.340 Because I've been alone with Grandmother and I know what it's like. 00:53:58.510 --> 00:54:02.550 - Should we retire into the study? - Why don't you join them, dear? 00:54:02.550 --> 00:54:04.260 V ery well. 00:54:06.470 --> 00:54:09.850 - I do apologize for interrupting. - Would you close the door, please? 00:54:10.100 --> 00:54:11.600 Certainly. 00:54:11.600 --> 00:54:16.650 Sylvia has told me you have offered her the services of your household staff. 00:54:16.650 --> 00:54:20.860 - Well, not exactly. - That won't be necessary. 00:54:21.200 --> 00:54:23.370 I'll leave that to Sylvia, of course. 00:54:24.080 --> 00:54:26.200 You'll leave that to me, Mr Barrie. 00:54:26.200 --> 00:54:29.200 You see, I'm moving in here from now on. 00:54:29.210 --> 00:54:33.830 - You're moving in? - I'm going where I'm most needed. 00:54:34.090 --> 00:54:36.750 And I can certainly see to it that this house is managed 00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:39.260 without resorting to your charity. 00:54:39.380 --> 00:54:44.260 It isn't charity, Mrs du Maurier. I was only trying to help, as a friend. 00:54:44.300 --> 00:54:48.560 Have you no idea how much your friendship has already cost my daughter? 00:54:48.770 --> 00:54:51.440 Or are you really that selfish? 00:54:51.690 --> 00:54:54.230 I beg your pardon? 00:54:54.610 --> 00:54:58.650 Don't you see what a visit to the summer cottage of a married man 00:54:58.650 --> 00:55:01.740 does for a widow's future prospects? 00:55:03.410 --> 00:55:07.330 Sylvia needs to find someone. The boys need a father. 00:55:10.290 --> 00:55:14.750 And you are destroying any hope this family has of pulling itself together again. 00:55:14.790 --> 00:55:18.550 I have only wanted good things for this family, Mrs du Maurier. 00:55:18.550 --> 00:55:21.050 I'll look after them. 00:55:22.470 --> 00:55:25.260 You have your own family to concern yourself with. 00:55:25.300 --> 00:55:27.050 What are you suggesting? 00:55:27.100 --> 00:55:31.060 I'm suggesting that you protect what you have, Mr Barrie. 00:55:31.390 --> 00:55:35.150 That is precisely what I am doing. 00:55:57.290 --> 00:56:00.960 I was so certain what I would find in this. 00:56:01.380 --> 00:56:06.140 Some little confession would leak out onto the page. 00:56:06.390 --> 00:56:08.760 I don't write love notes in my journal. 00:56:08.800 --> 00:56:11.270 No. 00:56:11.390 --> 00:56:14.850 Still, you knew who I meant, didn't you? 00:56:14.890 --> 00:56:17.650 That's some comfort, actually. 00:56:18.480 --> 00:56:21.150 It means I know you just a little after all. 00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:24.950 You needn't steal my journal to get to know me, Mary. 00:56:25.070 --> 00:56:29.530 No. I suppose I could just go see the plays. 00:56:31.990 --> 00:56:36.750 I was hopelessly naive when I married you. 00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:43.340 I imagined that brilliant people disappeared to some secret place 00:56:43.340 --> 00:56:47.340 where good ideas floated around like leaves in autumn. 00:56:47.970 --> 00:56:52.640 And I hoped, at least once... 00:56:54.100 --> 00:56:56.940 you would take me there with you. 00:56:57.100 --> 00:57:00.060 There is no such place. 00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:03.530 Yes, there is. 00:57:05.190 --> 00:57:07.240 Neverland. 00:57:09.700 --> 00:57:12.280 It's the best you've written, James. 00:57:12.280 --> 00:57:16.330 And I'm sure the Davies will adore the world you've created for them. 00:57:16.790 --> 00:57:19.830 I only wish I were part of it. 00:57:20.790 --> 00:57:24.340 I've wanted you to be. I've tried. 00:57:27.970 --> 00:57:29.470 Mary. 00:57:29.470 --> 00:57:34.350 I always imagined us going off on great adventures once we were together. 00:57:34.470 --> 00:57:38.060 But we moved into this house and you started, I don't know, 00:57:38.600 --> 00:57:42.360 - you started rearranging the furniture. - What was I supposed to do, James? 00:57:42.610 --> 00:57:43.820 You were always gone. 00:57:43.820 --> 00:57:45.030 I was right here. 00:57:45.570 --> 00:57:52.530 Sitting in your parlor, staring off into other worlds as though I didn't exist. 00:57:53.490 --> 00:57:56.040 Look. Just give me bit more time to finish up the play. 00:57:56.200 --> 00:57:58.160 To spend with your muse? 00:57:58.210 --> 00:58:03.750 No, I'm tired of waiting, James. I'm tired of looking like a fool. 00:58:05.090 --> 00:58:08.340 Well, I can't very well give up the play. 00:58:09.470 --> 00:58:12.140 Of course not. 00:58:12.470 --> 00:58:17.930 Just come home to me at the end of the day. Rehearse and be home for dinner. 00:58:18.180 --> 00:58:23.060 No more trips to the country, no more long afternoons in the park. 00:58:23.070 --> 00:58:27.230 If you can't give us that much of a chance, 00:58:27.690 --> 00:58:30.660 then we must end this. 00:58:31.490 --> 00:58:34.330 And I will. 00:58:39.370 --> 00:58:41.830 Pitiful display. 00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:46.960 (whistle) 00:58:47.380 --> 00:58:49.550 (James) Nanny. Nanny. 00:58:49.550 --> 00:58:51.930 What? 00:58:54.390 --> 00:58:57.770 First you get the pajamas, then you make the bed. 00:58:57.770 --> 00:58:59.730 With my paws? 00:59:00.180 --> 00:59:04.210 You make the bed with your paws. The pajamas you get with your teeth. 00:59:04.210 --> 00:59:08.230 Because in fact, being a dog, you haven't any proper digits, have you? 00:59:09.280 --> 00:59:11.740 Well, I don't have any teeth, either. 00:59:11.780 --> 00:59:14.240 I mean, I can't see. I can't breathe. 00:59:14.570 --> 00:59:17.740 All I've got is this rubbery snout. 00:59:20.710 --> 00:59:24.630 - Can we get him some teeth? - He can have mine. 00:59:24.670 --> 00:59:26.840 We'll get you teeth. 00:59:27.170 --> 00:59:30.550 - Let's have a wee break, shall we? - Right. 00:59:33.470 --> 00:59:34.840 - I thought you were wonderful. - You were marvelous. 00:59:35.390 --> 00:59:37.350 I think you're better on four legs than you are on two. 00:59:37.390 --> 00:59:39.850 - Oh, give it a rest. - I do. 00:59:41.390 --> 00:59:44.350 - Just say it, Charles, go on. - Well, you picture it, James. 00:59:44.400 --> 00:59:48.070 Opening night, doctors, lawyers, businessmen and their wives, 00:59:48.400 --> 00:59:49.860 all dressed to the nines. 00:59:49.900 --> 00:59:54.530 They've paid good money, they're expecting theater, what we call theater. 00:59:54.530 --> 00:59:59.160 The curtain opens and it's crocodiles and fairies and pirates and Indians. 00:59:59.370 --> 01:00:02.750 I don't even know what it is. 01:00:02.870 --> 01:00:07.130 But you did know, Charles. You're an absolute genius, Charles. That's it. 01:00:07.380 --> 01:00:09.250 Oh, don't patronize me, James. 01:00:09.380 --> 01:00:12.340 You know how much money I put into this show that I haven't even found yet? 01:00:12.670 --> 01:00:15.840 Listen, listen. Opening night, I want 25 seats set aside. 01:00:15.840 --> 01:00:17.680 - Set aside? 25? - 25 seats. 01:00:17.680 --> 01:00:20.350 Scattered throughout the theater. Two here, two there, three up there. 01:00:20.680 --> 01:00:22.640 - Are they paying for it? - They're filled. 01:00:22.680 --> 01:00:25.060 - No, no, no. I'm asking... - The seats are filled. 01:00:25.190 --> 01:00:27.730 - Uncle Jim? - Hello, boys. 01:00:28.190 --> 01:00:29.440 Could I speak to you for a moment, please? 01:00:29.440 --> 01:00:30.860 Certainly. 01:00:31.190 --> 01:00:34.150 25 seats, Charles. It'll be great. It'll be fantastic. 01:00:34.200 --> 01:00:35.740 25 scattered seats? Who's paying for them? 01:00:35.740 --> 01:00:36.660 Throughout the theater. 01:00:37.200 --> 01:00:40.660 - Who's paying for these 25 seats? - They're filled-up seats, Charles. 01:00:40.700 --> 01:00:42.700 Whoa. Look. 01:00:42.700 --> 01:00:45.460 This is great. I'm flying. 01:00:45.580 --> 01:00:49.840 We don't need to use much pull at all, see? As long as we've got the balance down. 01:00:50.170 --> 01:00:52.630 Mother asked me to take the boys out for the afternoon. 01:00:52.800 --> 01:00:55.300 She said she only wanted a bit of quiet, 01:00:55.300 --> 01:00:59.640 but she was trembling so badly she couldn't even finish her tea. 01:00:59.680 --> 01:01:02.850 I'm not a fool, Uncle James. I deserve to know the truth. 01:01:03.100 --> 01:01:06.440 I don't know the truth. She won't talk about it. 01:01:06.440 --> 01:01:08.850 But you think it's serious? 01:01:10.980 --> 01:01:13.730 It could be. The doctor felt she should go and have some tests. 01:01:13.990 --> 01:01:15.740 Then you'll have to convince her to go then. 01:01:15.990 --> 01:01:18.360 I've tried. She won't listen to me. 01:01:19.570 --> 01:01:20.570 And lately, to be quite honest, 01:01:20.570 --> 01:01:25.250 it seems that all my best intentions for your family have come to nothing but harm. 01:01:25.580 --> 01:01:27.750 Apparently I've made quite a mess of things. 01:01:28.080 --> 01:01:31.250 It's Grandmother, isn't it? She's run you off, hasn't she? 01:01:31.290 --> 01:01:36.470 Oh, she's absolutely tried with great effort. And perhaps with good reason. 01:01:36.470 --> 01:01:39.840 It isn't you, Uncle Jim. She just... 01:01:39.890 --> 01:01:44.140 She just doesn't want to see Mother hurt anymore. 01:01:47.770 --> 01:01:50.650 Look at that. 01:01:50.770 --> 01:01:53.360 How magnificent. 01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:56.530 The boy's gone. 01:01:58.990 --> 01:02:03.470 Somewhere during the last 30 seconds, you've become a grown-up. 01:02:03.470 --> 01:02:07.960 Right then. I think you should be the one to talk to her, George. 01:02:08.290 --> 01:02:14.050 - But I wouldn't know what to say. - You'll do fine. You'll do just fine. 01:02:14.090 --> 01:02:17.090 Mr Barrie, sir. Sorry to interrupt. 01:02:17.090 --> 01:02:21.260 - It's Nana, he's expired backstage. - What's happened? 01:02:21.590 --> 01:02:24.350 I think his costume is too tight. 01:02:24.600 --> 01:02:29.940 It's not possible, too tight. George, give me a minute, I'll be back. 01:02:30.100 --> 01:02:32.560 (laughter from the boys) 01:02:33.400 --> 01:02:38.030 (stage manager) Pull that one tight. Here, last one. 01:02:39.900 --> 01:02:42.030 OK. Flap those wings. 01:02:42.030 --> 01:02:44.160 - There you go. - Whoa! 01:02:44.990 --> 01:02:47.450 - Can I have a go? - Yeah, you can have a little go if you want. 01:02:47.500 --> 01:02:48.960 Give that a tug. Go on. 01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:51.330 - Just give it a little pull. - (Michael) Can I have a go? 01:02:51.500 --> 01:02:52.830 - In a minute. In a minute. - Can I have a go? 01:02:53.000 --> 01:02:54.960 - Jack. Pull me higher. - I have to concentrate. 01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:56.630 - Stop it now, boys. - No, Michael. 01:02:56.880 --> 01:02:58.340 Stop mucking about, boys. Come on now. 01:02:58.380 --> 01:03:00.260 - I want to do it now. - No, don't go down there. 01:03:00.800 --> 01:03:01.930 What are you...? 01:03:04.680 --> 01:03:06.260 Ow! 01:03:10.480 --> 01:03:12.730 (stage manager) Oh, no. Oh, no, I'm sorry. 01:03:12.770 --> 01:03:15.860 - I'm so sorry. - (Jack) George? 01:03:22.070 --> 01:03:23.450 Mr Barrie? 01:03:23.570 --> 01:03:27.160 Mrs Davies would like a word with you. 01:03:27.490 --> 01:03:29.750 No, just Mr Barrie. 01:03:46.100 --> 01:03:51.350 - Did you encourage this? - Encourage what? 01:03:51.390 --> 01:03:55.560 Oh, James, please. You know perfectly well what. 01:03:56.400 --> 01:04:02.650 George won't allow them to set his arm unless I submit to an examination. 01:04:04.200 --> 01:04:07.240 I see. Well, I suppose you'll have to then, 01:04:07.700 --> 01:04:12.750 because he's quite a stubborn young man when he sets his mind to it. 01:04:12.870 --> 01:04:17.630 This is absurd. They won't tell me anything different. 01:04:17.630 --> 01:04:19.840 Different? 01:04:20.000 --> 01:04:22.470 So you've already spoken to a doctor then? 01:04:23.010 --> 01:04:25.640 That is not your concern. 01:04:31.310 --> 01:04:35.560 (Sylvia, quietly) My understanding is that my condition may be quite serious. 01:04:35.900 --> 01:04:40.650 However... my wish is that life should go on as normal. 01:04:41.570 --> 01:04:43.030 So, 01:04:43.570 --> 01:04:46.070 I'll have the examination, 01:04:46.070 --> 01:04:49.160 and I'll take whatever medications they advise. 01:04:49.160 --> 01:04:51.830 But I don't want to know what they're for. 01:04:52.080 --> 01:04:56.170 And I don't want you inquiring into it any further. 01:04:57.080 --> 01:04:59.460 Wouldn't dream of it. 01:05:00.590 --> 01:05:03.260 (clock strikes three) 01:05:18.190 --> 01:05:20.230 Mary? 01:05:22.190 --> 01:05:24.440 Mary?

Darling? - Yes, Mother. 01:05:51.930 --> 01:05:55.730 Jack, how do you manage to always come untucked? 01:05:55.980 --> 01:05:58.140 Would you check your shirt-tails in the intermission, please? 01:05:58.480 --> 01:05:59.650 Yes, Mother. 01:05:59.980 --> 01:06:02.440 You're not planning on attending any after-theater events, are you? 01:06:02.480 --> 01:06:06.150 Only for a short time if we do. The tickets! 01:06:06.190 --> 01:06:08.190 - With the children? - George! 01:06:08.200 --> 01:06:11.430 Um, possibly. Would you see if George has the tickets, please? 01:06:11.430 --> 01:06:14.660 - I'll just check the dressing table. - Sylvia, there's a... 01:06:15.200 --> 01:06:19.750 Mother, please see if George has the tickets. Michael, where are your socks? 01:06:19.750 --> 01:06:22.040 Wait here, don't move. 01:06:22.880 --> 01:06:25.250 (coughs) 01:06:28.510 --> 01:06:30.550 (coughs) 01:06:42.690 --> 01:06:45.230 (orchestra warms up) 01:06:56.700 --> 01:06:59.540 Take her feet, George. 01:07:01.710 --> 01:07:04.040 We'll need some more blankets. 01:07:05.290 --> 01:07:08.260 Oh, take Michael with you, would you? 01:07:10.800 --> 01:07:15.050 She looks much worse than when we were at the cottage. 01:07:15.300 --> 01:07:18.310 (George, whispering) Sh, Michael. 01:07:18.310 --> 01:07:21.230 - Those 25 seats, has anyone shown up? - No, sir. Not yet. 01:07:21.270 --> 01:07:23.730 Precisely. Have there been many people asking for seats? 01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:25.230 - Yes, sir. - (James) Charles. 01:07:25.400 --> 01:07:27.360 I suggest you start selling them. Yes, James? 01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:29.240 Have you seen any of the Davies family yet this evening? 01:07:29.240 --> 01:07:30.240 The 25 seats, are they filled? 01:07:30.490 --> 01:07:32.150 - It's taken care of. - Yes. Yes. 01:07:32.490 --> 01:07:35.530 Who did you invite? Because obviously whoever you invited decided not to come. 01:07:35.570 --> 01:07:38.160 - The seats will be filled, I promise. - Yes. You've been promising me all... 01:07:38.160 --> 01:07:39.660 - Charles? - Hello, Mr Stanley. 01:07:40.080 --> 01:07:41.750 Have you seen the Davies family this evening? 01:07:41.750 --> 01:07:42.540 No, sir. 01:07:43.500 --> 01:07:46.630 - Jack has gone to get Dr Brighton. - Oh, no, Mother.
