Downloaded From www.AllSubs.org
00:01:13,096 --> 00:01:14,176
The morning paper, m'Lord.
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,647
Ah Sir Robert Chiltern
a rising star in Parliament...
00:01:24,647 --> 00:01:29,255
tonight hosts a party that
promises to be the highlight
of the social calendar...
00:01:29,255 --> 00:01:31,719
Er, with his wife Lady Gertrude...
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:35,175
who is herself a leading figure
in women's prlitics.
00:01:35,175 --> 00:01:36,039
Together...
00:01:36,039 --> 00:01:40,327
this couple represents what is
best in the English public life...
00:01:40,327 --> 00:01:43,719
and is a noble contrast
to the lax morality...
00:01:43,719 --> 00:01:47,303
Er, so common amongst
foreign politicians.
00:01:47,303 --> 00:01:48,519
Dear oh dear...
00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:51,047
they will never say that about me,
will they
00:01:51,047 --> 00:01:53,316
I sincerely hope not, sir.
00:01:54,118 --> 00:01:55,686
Bit of a busy day today,
I'm afraid.
00:01:55,686 --> 00:01:58,854
Distressingly little time
for sloth or idleness.
00:01:58,854 --> 00:02:00,710
Sorry to hear it, sir.
00:02:00,710 --> 00:02:03,878
Well, not entirely your fault,
Phipps.
00:02:03,878 --> 00:02:05,439
Not this time.
00:02:06,790 --> 00:02:08,350
Thank you, m'Lord.
00:02:26,885 --> 00:02:28,581
Good morning, to Tommy.
00:02:28,581 --> 00:02:29,925
Morning, Lady Chilterm.
00:02:29,925 --> 00:02:32,543
I very much look forward
to this evening.
00:02:33,541 --> 00:02:34,501
Miss Mabel...
00:02:34,501 --> 00:02:35,173
Tommy.
00:02:35,173 --> 00:02:37,540
I hope you'll be able to
make our usual appointment...
00:02:37,540 --> 00:02:40,093
as I have something
particular I wish to say to you.
00:02:41,124 --> 00:02:42,302
Good day, ladies.
00:02:44,356 --> 00:02:47,869
When Tommy wants to be romantic
he talks to one just like a doctor.
00:02:48,836 --> 00:02:50,047
Till tonight.
00:02:51,076 --> 00:02:51,940
Miss Mabel.
00:02:51,940 --> 00:02:54,493
Lord Goring.
00:02:56,420 --> 00:02:57,631
Lord Goring!
00:02:59,556 --> 00:03:01,380
Countess-good morning.
00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:03,459
Aren't you going to congratulate me,
Lord Goring?
00:03:03,459 --> 00:03:05,156
Congratulations.
00:03:05,156 --> 00:03:08,196
Aren't you going to ask what for?
00:03:08,196 --> 00:03:10,595
I have made a great decision.
I've decided to get married.
00:03:10,595 --> 00:03:12,580
My God! Who to?
00:03:12,580 --> 00:03:15,263
That part-is still to be decided.
00:03:16,003 --> 00:03:18,660
Good morning, dear To Gertrude.
00:03:18,660 --> 00:03:20,547
Good morning, Lady Markby.
00:03:21,188 --> 00:03:23,363
Allow me to introduce my friend,
Mrs. Cheveley.
00:03:23,363 --> 00:03:25,795
Two such charming women
should know each other.
00:03:25,795 --> 00:03:26,915
How do you do?
00:03:26,915 --> 00:03:29,443
I think Mrs. Cheveley and I
have met before.
00:03:29,443 --> 00:03:31,003
of course.
00:03:31,650 --> 00:03:32,959
Gertrude.
00:03:33,699 --> 00:03:36,419
And to think you married
Sir Robert Chiltern.
00:03:36,419 --> 00:03:39,938
Do you know, I was so hoping to
meet your clever husband.
00:03:39,938 --> 00:03:41,187
Really?
00:03:41,187 --> 00:03:44,419
Yes. But I have to return
to Vienna on Friday.
00:03:44,419 --> 00:03:46,458
Oh dear, what a shame.
00:03:49,474 --> 00:03:52,738
Well, perhaps I might bring her
this evening?
00:03:52,738 --> 00:03:54,242
Yes, by all means.
00:03:54,242 --> 00:03:55,746
What can I say?
00:03:55,746 --> 00:03:56,898
I'd be delighted.
00:03:56,898 --> 00:03:58,529
Well we'll see you tonight.
00:03:58,529 --> 00:03:59,871
See you tonight.
00:04:24,865 --> 00:04:28,769
You see, Phipps,
fashion is what one wears oneself.
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:32,321
What is unfashionable...
00:04:32,321 --> 00:04:33,985
is what other people wear.
00:04:33,985 --> 00:04:35,168
Yes, my Lord.
00:04:35,168 --> 00:04:36,576
Other people are quite dreadful.
00:04:36,576 --> 00:04:38,689
The only possible society is oneself.
00:04:38,689 --> 00:04:40,001
Er, yes, my Lord.
00:04:40,001 --> 00:04:42,237
To love oneself...
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,976
is the beginning of
a lifelong romance.
00:04:46,976 --> 00:04:48,405
Yes, my Lord.
00:04:57,888 --> 00:05:02,143
Their Graces,
the Duke and Duchess of Berwick.
00:05:05,951 --> 00:05:08,155
Lord Windermere.
00:05:11,359 --> 00:05:12,766
Countess Basildon.
00:05:13,535 --> 00:05:19,423
...and it is widely agreed,
the last truly decent man
in London...such...
00:05:19,423 --> 00:05:22,943
and that you're a very
personable man possessed of
a most attractive personality...
00:05:22,943 --> 00:05:26,623
and that you have brought into
British politics an honesty,
an integrity...
00:05:26,623 --> 00:05:27,647
a finer, a...
00:05:27,647 --> 00:05:31,806
a nobler atmosphere a finer
attitude and higher ideals...
higher ideals.
00:05:31,806 --> 00:05:34,046
Well, one mustn't believe everything
one reads in the newspapers.
00:05:34,046 --> 00:05:39,678
Yes, in the old days we had the rack.
Nowadays we have the press.
00:05:39,678 --> 00:05:43,134
Your own newspaper being the notable
exception, of course, Sir Edward...
00:05:43,134 --> 00:05:45,822
where truth shines out like a beacon...
00:05:45,822 --> 00:05:48,030
and lies run vainly for the shadows.
00:05:48,030 --> 00:05:50,366
Bravo, Lady Chiltern.
00:05:50,366 --> 00:05:53,694
But may I ask, do I detect
in your conversation a lyricism...
00:05:53,694 --> 00:05:57,277
not entirely uncommon
in your husband's excellent speeches?
00:05:57,277 --> 00:05:59,741
If you are suggesting Sir Edward...
00:05:59,741 --> 00:06:02,493
that my position in society
owes anything to my wife,
you are utterly mistaken.
00:06:02,493 --> 00:06:04,509
It owes everything to my wife.
00:06:04,509 --> 00:06:06,046
I demand that you make it known
00:06:06,046 --> 00:06:09,755
immediately without her, it's true,
I am entirely unexceptional.
00:06:10,109 --> 00:06:12,411
Without her love...
00:06:13,053 --> 00:06:14,776
I'm nothing.
00:06:17,116 --> 00:06:21,724
Anyway, all I know is, Chiltern,
a serious shake-up in the Government
looks inevitable now...
00:06:21,724 --> 00:06:25,212
and I have to tell you
the Prime Minster himself was
asking about you this morning.
00:06:25,212 --> 00:06:26,557
Really?
00:06:26,557 --> 00:06:28,444
Probably afraid you'd
be taking his job.
00:06:28,444 --> 00:06:30,141
Lady Markby.
00:06:30,141 --> 00:06:32,180
Mrs. Cheveley.
00:06:37,756 --> 00:06:40,924
Oh, my dear if I had a jewel
for every staring eye...
00:06:40,924 --> 00:06:44,347
I'm glad to say, Lady Markby,
you evidently do.
00:06:44,347 --> 00:06:44,955
Excuse me.
00:06:44,955 --> 00:06:48,251
Ah, chere Madame
quelle surprise!
00:06:48,251 --> 00:06:49,436
Lady Markby.
00:06:49,436 --> 00:06:50,684
I have not seen you since Berlin.
00:06:50,684 --> 00:06:52,891
Not since Berlin, Vicomte,
five years ago.
00:06:52,891 --> 00:06:56,731
And you are younger and
more beautiful than ever.
00:06:56,731 --> 00:06:57,755
How do you manage it?
00:06:57,755 --> 00:07:01,820
By making it a rule only to talk
to charming people like yourself.
00:07:01,820 --> 00:07:03,478
Mrs. Cheveley.
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:05,147
What do we know about her?
00:07:05,147 --> 00:07:08,859
Very influential in Vienna
In the highest circles.
00:07:08,859 --> 00:07:11,515
A force to be reckoned with.
00:07:11,515 --> 00:07:12,859
And are you staying in
London long?
00:07:12,859 --> 00:07:14,491
That depends partly
on the weather...
00:07:14,491 --> 00:07:16,155
partly on the cooking...
00:07:16,155 --> 00:07:18,331
and partly on your brother.
00:07:18,331 --> 00:07:20,859
My dear... Sir Robert has been
dying to meet you.
00:07:20,859 --> 00:07:24,122
Everyone is dying to meet
the brilliant Mrs. Cheveley.
00:07:24,122 --> 00:07:26,202
Our Attaches in Vienna write to us
about nothing else.
00:07:26,202 --> 00:07:27,194
Thank you, Sir Robert.
00:07:27,194 --> 00:07:31,610
An acquaintance that begins with
a compliment is sure to develop
into a real friendship.
00:07:31,610 --> 00:07:32,699
I see you've met my sister.
00:07:32,699 --> 00:07:34,291
Yes indeed.
00:07:35,130 --> 00:07:40,116
My dear child allow me to introduce
you to the Vicomte De Nanjac.
00:07:41,978 --> 00:07:44,666
You have a beautiful house,
Sir Robert.
00:07:44,666 --> 00:07:46,010
We're very happy here.
00:07:46,010 --> 00:07:48,665
I am sure. I would so love
to look around.
00:07:48,665 --> 00:07:49,625
Allow me.
00:07:49,625 --> 00:07:50,486
Thank you.
00:07:50,874 --> 00:07:53,459
Lord Goring.
00:07:56,281 --> 00:07:59,161
Good evening, Lady Rosebury.
00:07:59,161 --> 00:08:01,049
Good evening, young lady.
00:08:01,049 --> 00:08:03,449
Well, sir,
what are you doing here?
00:08:03,449 --> 00:08:04,825
Wasting your life as usual.
00:08:04,825 --> 00:08:06,777
You should be in bed, sir.
You keep too late hours.
00:08:06,777 --> 00:08:09,753
I heard of you the other night
at Lady Rufford's dancing
till four o'clock.
00:08:09,753 --> 00:08:11,545
Er, good evening, father.
00:08:11,545 --> 00:08:14,073
Can't make out how you stand
London society.
00:08:14,073 --> 00:08:16,697
Lot of damn nobodies
talking about nothing.
00:08:16,697 --> 00:08:19,544
I love talking about nothing, father.
It's the only thing
I know anything about.
00:08:19,544 --> 00:08:22,392
That is a paradox, sir.
I hate paradoxes.
00:08:22,392 --> 00:08:23,769
So do I, father.
00:08:23,769 --> 00:08:26,072
Everyone one meets is
a paradox nowadays.
00:08:26,072 --> 00:08:29,176
Makes society so... obvious, hmm?
00:08:29,176 --> 00:08:31,800
Do you always understand
what you say, sir?
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,957
Yes. If I listen attentively.
00:08:38,424 --> 00:08:40,977
Oh, conceited young puppy!
00:08:41,496 --> 00:08:45,303
And I have it on very good authority
that you have some
delightful Corots as well.
00:08:45,303 --> 00:08:47,064
Oh, really whose?
00:08:47,064 --> 00:08:49,136
Baron Arnheim.
00:08:54,711 --> 00:08:55,960
Did you know the Baron well?
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,847
Intimately. Did you?
00:08:57,847 --> 00:08:58,935
At one time.
00:08:58,935 --> 00:09:00,151
Wonderful man, wasn't he?
00:09:00,151 --> 00:09:02,007
He was very remarkable in many ways.
00:09:02,007 --> 00:09:06,582
I often think it a pity he never
wrote his memoirs.
They would have been interesting.
00:09:06,582 --> 00:09:10,230
Allow me to introduce my dearest
friend. The idlest man in London.
00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:12,375
Good evening, Lord Goring.
00:09:12,375 --> 00:09:14,135
You've met?
00:09:14,135 --> 00:09:17,238
I did not think you'd remember me,
Mrs. Er Cheveley.
00:09:17,238 --> 00:09:20,055
My memory is
under admirable control.
00:09:20,055 --> 00:09:22,294
Sir Robert,
the Indian Ambassador.
00:09:22,294 --> 00:09:23,504
Excuse me!
00:09:27,318 --> 00:09:29,238
And so, my dear Arthur...
00:09:29,238 --> 00:09:31,798
are you not just
a little bit pleased to see me?
00:09:31,798 --> 00:09:34,742
Oh, my dear woman...
possibly even less than that.
00:09:34,742 --> 00:09:36,693
should you wish to
avoid me entirely...
00:09:36,693 --> 00:09:40,085
it is well to know that I'll be
staying at Claridges Hotel until Friday
00:09:40,085 --> 00:09:42,256
when I shall return to Vienna.
00:09:43,221 --> 00:09:44,789
Are you still a bachelor?
00:09:44,789 --> 00:09:46,101
Resolutely so.
00:09:46,101 --> 00:09:48,213
Lord Goring is the result of
Boodle's Club, Mrs. Cheveley.
00:09:48,213 --> 00:09:50,709
He reflects every credit
on the institution.
00:09:50,709 --> 00:09:51,691
Thank you.
00:10:03,509 --> 00:10:06,771
And now, Sir Robert,
I have something to say to you.
00:10:07,189 --> 00:10:08,757
You'll find me an eager audience.
00:10:08,757 --> 00:10:09,973
I'm so glad.
00:10:09,973 --> 00:10:13,461
I want to talk to you about a great
political and financial scheme...
00:10:13,461 --> 00:10:16,428
about this Argentine Company,
in fact.
00:10:18,004 --> 00:10:21,332
What a tedious, practical subject
to talk about, Mrs. Cheveley.
00:10:21,332 --> 00:10:25,652
Oh, I like tedious, practical subjects.
What I don't like are
practical people.
00:10:25,652 --> 00:10:30,324
Besides, you're interested. I know,
in international canal schemes.
00:10:30,324 --> 00:10:31,731
Yes.
00:10:33,139 --> 00:10:36,148
But the Suez Canal was a very
great and splendid undertaking.
00:10:36,148 --> 00:10:39,246
It gave us our direct route
into India.
00:10:40,371 --> 00:10:43,763
This Argentine scheme is
a commonplace Stock Exchange swindle.
00:10:43,763 --> 00:10:47,572
It is a speculation, Sir Robert,
a brilliant, daring speculation.
00:10:47,572 --> 00:10:51,283
Believe me, Mrs. Cheveley,
it is a swindle.
00:10:51,283 --> 00:10:54,861
Let us call things by their proper
names. It makes matters simpler.
00:10:57,811 --> 00:11:00,018
I hope you've not invested in it.
00:11:00,018 --> 00:11:01,938
I'm sure you're far too clever
to have done that.
00:11:01,938 --> 00:11:05,651
I have invested very largely in it.
00:11:05,651 --> 00:11:07,123
Who could have advised you to do
such a foolish thing?
00:11:07,123 --> 00:11:08,594
Your old friend and mine.
00:11:08,594 --> 00:11:09,202
Who?
00:11:09,202 --> 00:11:10,034
Baron Arnheim.
00:11:10,034 --> 00:11:12,969
It was one of the last things
he said.
00:11:23,058 --> 00:11:27,953
The future of the canal depends,
of course, on the attitude
of Her Majesty's Government.
00:11:27,953 --> 00:11:30,673
And...
00:11:30,673 --> 00:11:34,225
I will personally be
presenting my report...
00:11:34,225 --> 00:11:37,324
to the House of Commons
on Thursday night.
00:11:38,257 --> 00:11:41,105
I can tell you now that I will
be condemning the scheme in
00:11:41,105 --> 00:11:42,737
no uncertain terms.
00:11:42,737 --> 00:11:43,825
That you must not do.
00:11:43,825 --> 00:11:45,969
In your own interests,
to say nothing of mine...
00:11:45,969 --> 00:11:48,369
you must not do that.
00:11:48,369 --> 00:11:50,449
Mr. dear Mrs. Cheveley
what do you mean?
00:11:50,449 --> 00:11:52,721
Sir Robert,
I will be quite frank with you.
00:11:52,721 --> 00:11:57,073
I want you to amend that report
to state that the canal
will be of international value.
00:11:57,073 --> 00:11:59,047
Will you do that for me?
00:12:02,193 --> 00:12:04,113
You cannot be serious.
00:12:04,113 --> 00:12:05,360
I am quite serious...
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,680
and if you do what I ask
I will pay you very handsomely.
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:10,481
Pay me?
00:12:10,481 --> 00:12:14,032
My dear Sir Robert, you are
a man of the world and
you have you price, I suppose.
00:12:14,032 --> 00:12:15,760
Everybody has nowadays.
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,504
If you will allow me,
I will call your carriage for you.
00:12:19,504 --> 00:12:21,328
You have lived so long abroad,
Mrs. Cheveley...
00:12:21,328 --> 00:12:24,431
that you seem to be unable to
realise that you're talking
to an English gentleman.
00:12:24,431 --> 00:12:26,224
I realize that
I'm talking to a man...
00:12:26,224 --> 00:12:30,664
whose past is perhaps less perfect
than his reputation would suggest.
00:12:33,455 --> 00:12:35,599
What are you saying?
00:12:35,599 --> 00:12:39,119
I am saying that
I know the real origin of your wealth
and your career...
00:12:39,119 --> 00:12:42,054
...and I have got your letter too.
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:46,254
You are very late.
00:12:46,254 --> 00:12:47,311
Did you miss me?
00:12:47,311 --> 00:12:48,047
Awfully.
00:12:48,047 --> 00:12:50,927
Then I am sorry I did not stay away
later. I like being missed.
00:12:50,927 --> 00:12:51,982
How very selfish of you.
00:12:51,982 --> 00:12:53,230
I am very selfish.
00:12:53,230 --> 00:12:55,726
Lord Goring, you are always telling
me about your bad qualities.
00:12:55,726 --> 00:12:57,678
And I haven't told you the half of
them as yet. Miss Mabel.
00:12:57,678 --> 00:12:59,631
Really? Are the others very bad?
00:12:59,631 --> 00:13:04,202
Quite dreadful.
When I think of them at night
I can go to sleep at once.
00:13:04,591 --> 00:13:06,542
Well...
00:13:06,542 --> 00:13:10,958
I must tell you that
I like your qualities and
I wouldn't have you part with one.
00:13:10,958 --> 00:13:13,678
This shows
your admirable good taste.
00:13:13,678 --> 00:13:16,269
Miss Mabel. May I have the pleasure
of escorting you to the music room?
00:13:16,269 --> 00:13:18,605
Why, Tommy, I'd be delighted.
00:13:18,605 --> 00:13:19,790
As indeed would I.
00:13:19,790 --> 00:13:21,102
Are you coming to the music room?
00:13:21,102 --> 00:13:23,949
Um, not if there is any music
going on, Miss Mabel.
00:13:23,949 --> 00:13:26,670
Well the music is in German...
00:13:26,670 --> 00:13:28,430
so you would not understand it.
00:13:28,430 --> 00:13:30,502
Quite so, quite so.
00:13:31,470 --> 00:13:32,877
Arthur!
00:13:32,877 --> 00:13:34,285
Gertrude, good evening.
00:13:34,285 --> 00:13:36,077
Didn't think you liked
political parties.
00:13:36,077 --> 00:13:40,965
I adore political parties.
They're the place left
where people don't talk politics.
00:13:44,141 --> 00:13:47,340
The affair to which you allude
was no more than a speculation.
00:13:47,340 --> 00:13:48,749
It was a swindle, Sir Robert.
00:13:48,749 --> 00:13:52,426
"Let's call things by their proper
names. It makes matters simpler."
00:13:53,037 --> 00:13:55,661
And now I'm going to
sell you that letter back...
00:13:55,661 --> 00:14:00,679
and the price I ask for it is
your public support
of the Argentine scheme.
00:14:02,188 --> 00:14:04,236
I cannot do what you ask me.
00:14:04,236 --> 00:14:07,499
You are standing on the edge of
a precipice, Sir Robert.
00:14:07,499 --> 00:14:10,379
Supposing you refuse?
00:14:10,379 --> 00:14:10,987
What then?
00:14:10,987 --> 00:14:13,580
Suppose I were to pay a visit
to a newspaper office
00:14:13,580 --> 00:14:16,428
and give them this scandal...
and the proof of it.
00:14:16,428 --> 00:14:17,963
Think of their loathsome joy.
00:14:17,963 --> 00:14:20,524
Think of the delight they would
have in tearing you down.
00:14:20,524 --> 00:14:21,771
Think...
00:14:21,771 --> 00:14:23,364
Sir Edward.
00:14:23,819 --> 00:14:26,219
My dear Mrs. Cheveley.
00:14:26,219 --> 00:14:29,099
I do hope we have the opportunity
to meet up while you're in London.
00:14:29,099 --> 00:14:31,787
I so enjoy the cut and thrust
of continental politics.
00:14:31,787 --> 00:14:34,308
I shall make it a
particular priority.
00:14:34,891 --> 00:14:36,865
Sir Robert.
00:14:42,603 --> 00:14:45,962
It is infamous what you propose.
00:14:45,962 --> 00:14:46,762
Infamous.
00:14:46,762 --> 00:14:49,771
Oh no... it is the game of life,
Sir Robert...
00:14:49,771 --> 00:15:15,625
...as we all have to play it...
sooner of later.
00:15:15,625 --> 00:15:19,305
What a charming house, Lady Chiltern.
I have spent a delightful evening.
00:15:19,305 --> 00:15:21,033
I'm so glad.
00:15:21,033 --> 00:15:25,097
And so glad, too, you had a chance
to meet my husband, Mrs. Cheveley.
