00:47:32,644 --> 00:47:33,953
Not at all.
00:47:42,595 --> 00:47:44,734
...as you keep saying.
00:47:46,756 --> 00:47:48,355
Is in there?
00:47:48,355 --> 00:47:49,697
Yes, my Lord.
00:47:55,203 --> 00:47:56,893
Oh, my dear fellow.
00:47:57,218 --> 00:48:01,146
I'm sorry, Arthur,
I didn't know where else to go.
00:48:07,715 --> 00:48:10,300
I don't know what to do,
Arthur.
00:48:10,786 --> 00:48:15,074
Robert, last night
you were telling me...
00:48:15,074 --> 00:48:17,218
how much Gertrude
means to you, hmm?
00:48:17,218 --> 00:48:19,682
How much you love her.
00:48:19,682 --> 00:48:21,657
More than anything
in the world.
00:48:22,818 --> 00:48:25,090
But there is a wide gulf
between us now...
00:48:25,090 --> 00:48:27,937
and I fear I shall never bridge it.
00:48:28,482 --> 00:48:30,594
I fear she will never forgive me.
00:48:30,594 --> 00:48:34,178
Surely there must be some sin in her
past life Any sin...
00:48:34,178 --> 00:48:36,514
weakness, perhaps, that might well...
00:48:36,514 --> 00:48:38,178
help her to understand yours.
00:48:38,178 --> 00:48:42,017
No, I don't believe Gertrude knows
what weakness or temptation is.
00:48:42,017 --> 00:48:45,793
But she loves you, Robert.
She cannot but forgive you.
00:48:45,793 --> 00:48:48,929
Now I feel certain
that if she could hear you now...
00:48:48,929 --> 00:48:51,489
the regret you feel about
your past...
00:48:51,489 --> 00:48:52,699
Regret?
00:48:54,368 --> 00:48:56,097
Yes, regret...
00:48:56,097 --> 00:48:59,424
I feel certain that
she would pity you.
00:48:59,424 --> 00:49:01,889
Perhaps even at this moment
she is pitying you.
00:49:01,889 --> 00:49:05,217
Praying that she might
once again be in your arms.
00:49:05,217 --> 00:49:07,900
God grant it but I doubt it.
00:49:09,536 --> 00:49:12,438
There is something else
I need to tell you about.
00:49:13,024 --> 00:49:17,279
The debate on the Argentine canal
is to begin at ten thirty.
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,666
I have made up my mind
what I'm going to say.
00:49:21,247 --> 00:49:23,997
I have decided...
00:49:28,704 --> 00:49:29,849
What was that?
00:49:30,911 --> 00:49:32,220
Nothing.
00:49:33,087 --> 00:49:35,424
I heard a noise from next door.
00:49:35,424 --> 00:49:37,398
No, no you didn't.
00:49:40,927 --> 00:49:42,651
Is there someone there?
00:49:43,871 --> 00:49:44,703
Arthur?
00:49:44,703 --> 00:49:46,719
Robert...you're excited,
unnerved.
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,887
There is no-one in that room.
Now sit down, old man,
for God's sake!
00:49:49,887 --> 00:49:51,135
Do you give me
your word of honor?
00:49:51,135 --> 00:49:52,695
Oh, yes!
00:49:55,839 --> 00:49:57,438
Let me look for myself.
00:49:57,438 --> 00:49:58,078
Oh, Robert...
00:49:58,078 --> 00:49:59,679
If there is no-one there
then why shouldn't I look?
00:49:59,679 --> 00:50:03,323
Robert...there is someone
in that room.
00:50:07,263 --> 00:50:08,638
My dear fellow,
I do apologise but
00:50:08,638 --> 00:50:12,126
I must state she's entirely
guiltless in this matter.
00:50:12,126 --> 00:50:16,382
She is scheming
devious and deceitful.
00:50:16,382 --> 00:50:17,373
I beg your pardon?
00:50:17,373 --> 00:50:19,577
And you...
00:50:20,542 --> 00:50:23,486
you are false as a friend
...and treacherous.
00:50:23,486 --> 00:50:24,093
Robert!
00:50:24,093 --> 00:50:25,915
Good evening, Lord Goring.
00:50:26,558 --> 00:50:27,932
Sir Robert.
00:50:28,478 --> 00:50:31,641
So tell me, Goring, how the devil do
you explain her presence here?
00:50:34,398 --> 00:50:35,966
To be quite honest, I can't I...
00:50:35,966 --> 00:50:38,397
I take you two have been
planning this for some time.
00:50:38,397 --> 00:50:41,021
Look, Robert believes me,
we have not.
We have never planned anything.
00:50:41,021 --> 00:50:42,973
Except marriage, of course,
Lord Goring.
00:50:42,973 --> 00:50:46,557
Come now, Arthur, you can't
have forgotten we were engaged
for at least three weeks.
00:50:46,557 --> 00:50:48,125
Yes, but...
00:50:48,125 --> 00:50:51,709
At this moment I find it hard to
see why on earth
you broke it off You seem to be...
00:50:51,709 --> 00:50:53,660
entirely well suited to each other.
00:50:53,660 --> 00:50:55,165
Robert, I give you my word...
00:50:55,165 --> 00:50:56,539
No, sir.
00:50:57,660 --> 00:50:59,067
Oh no, sir.
00:51:00,892 --> 00:51:05,529
You have lied enough upon your
word of honor.
00:51:09,948 --> 00:51:12,697
I appear to have caused
something of a commotion.
00:51:17,051 --> 00:51:18,262
Goodnight, Sir Robert.
00:51:33,051 --> 00:51:38,843
You've come here to sell me
Robert Chiltern's letter.
00:51:38,843 --> 00:51:40,763
To offer it to you on condition.
00:51:40,763 --> 00:51:43,032
How did you guess?
00:51:43,322 --> 00:51:45,850
What is your price for it?
00:51:45,850 --> 00:51:47,355
My price...
00:51:47,355 --> 00:51:50,584
I've arrived
at the romantic stage.
00:51:51,162 --> 00:51:53,819
When I saw you the other night
at the Chilterns'...
00:51:53,819 --> 00:51:57,978
I knew you were the only person
I'd ever cared for.
00:51:57,978 --> 00:52:01,722
If I've ever cared for anybody,
Arthur.
00:52:01,722 --> 00:52:03,249
So...
00:52:05,114 --> 00:52:08,633
on the morning
of the day that you marry me...
00:52:08,633 --> 00:52:11,830
I will give you
Robert Chiltern's letter.
00:52:13,882 --> 00:52:15,638
That is my offer.
00:52:18,553 --> 00:52:19,930
Are you quite serious?
00:52:19,930 --> 00:52:20,954
Yes.
00:52:20,954 --> 00:52:22,645
Quite serious.
00:52:23,257 --> 00:52:26,705
My dear Mrs. Cheveley.
00:52:27,449 --> 00:52:29,753
I'm afraid I should make you
a very bad husband.
00:52:29,753 --> 00:52:32,377
I don't mind bad husbands,
I've had two
00:52:32,377 --> 00:52:34,743
They amuse me immensely.
00:52:35,512 --> 00:52:39,864
Here is a chance to rise to great
heights of self-sacrifice, Arthur.
00:52:39,864 --> 00:52:41,624
I think you should.
00:52:41,624 --> 00:52:45,401
And the rest of your life
you could spend in contemplating
your own perfections.
00:52:45,401 --> 00:52:47,481
I do that as it is.
00:52:47,481 --> 00:52:49,304
For the privilege of
being your wife...
00:52:49,304 --> 00:52:54,290
I am ready to sacrifice the greatest
prize in my possession.
00:52:58,008 --> 00:52:59,252
I'm honored.
00:53:04,152 --> 00:53:05,720
Arthur...
00:53:05,720 --> 00:53:09,560
you loved me once
you asked me to be your wife...
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,703
ask me again.
00:53:11,703 --> 00:53:13,613
Ask me now.
00:53:19,895 --> 00:53:21,422
Bonsoir.
00:53:30,071 --> 00:53:31,479
My dear Mrs. Cheveley.
00:53:31,479 --> 00:53:33,999
My dear Lord Goring.
00:53:37,366 --> 00:53:39,959
Now I'm going to give you
some good advice.
00:53:39,959 --> 00:53:42,295
Pray, don't One should never
give a woman anything
she can't wear in the evening.
00:53:42,295 --> 00:53:44,854
Oh, I'm sorry but I don't seem
to be able to stop myself.
00:53:44,854 --> 00:53:48,919
Now, I'm going to tell you...
that love...
00:53:48,919 --> 00:53:52,854
about which I admit I know
so little...
00:53:52,854 --> 00:53:56,566
Iove cannot be bought.
It can only be given.
00:53:56,566 --> 00:54:00,597
And I sense it is not
in my power to give to you.
00:54:00,597 --> 00:54:05,014
And nor is it in yours I suspect...
00:54:05,014 --> 00:54:05,526
at all.
00:54:05,526 --> 00:54:09,300
Dear boy,
you underestimate us both.
00:54:10,901 --> 00:54:13,040
To give...
00:54:13,653 --> 00:54:17,013
and not expect return, hmm?
00:54:17,013 --> 00:54:20,693
That is what lies
at the heart of love.
00:54:20,693 --> 00:54:25,397
I fear though the notion
is a stranger to us both.
00:54:25,397 --> 00:54:27,189
And yet...
00:54:27,189 --> 00:54:28,917
if we are honest...
00:54:28,917 --> 00:54:31,957
it is something we both long for
00:54:31,957 --> 00:54:36,626
something that it takes
great courage to do.
00:54:36,980 --> 00:54:42,612
Yes that is our dark secret.
00:54:42,612 --> 00:54:46,507
Your coming here tonight is
the first whisper of it.
00:54:47,060 --> 00:54:49,995
And for that I admire you.
00:54:50,324 --> 00:54:52,528
Give me the letter.
00:54:52,980 --> 00:54:58,740
Prove your affections to me
and give me the letter.
00:54:58,740 --> 00:55:02,384
And surrender my position
of power?
00:55:02,643 --> 00:55:05,843
The future of a great man is
in your hands, Mrs. Cheveley.
00:55:05,843 --> 00:55:10,323
Crush him and your power dies
with him...
00:55:10,323 --> 00:55:13,555
as will any feeling
I've ever had for you.
00:55:13,555 --> 00:55:15,562
If you ever loved me...
00:55:19,347 --> 00:55:20,874
I did love you.
00:55:21,171 --> 00:55:23,921
I know, I know.
00:55:29,907 --> 00:55:31,630
But not that much.
00:55:34,611 --> 00:55:37,927
I know, I must admit
I never thought you did.
00:55:38,195 --> 00:55:41,138
Even so, I felt it worth a try.
00:55:41,138 --> 00:55:44,210
I understand and respect
you all the more for the attempt.
00:55:44,210 --> 00:55:46,482
And I take it you reject
my offer?
00:55:46,482 --> 00:55:52,592
I fear I must
when tempting as it seems...
in truth...
00:55:53,746 --> 00:55:55,474
...it is little
more than blackmail.
00:55:55,474 --> 00:55:56,750
True.
00:56:04,913 --> 00:56:05,905
Gertrude!
00:56:05,905 --> 00:56:07,858
Mabel.
00:56:07,858 --> 00:56:10,705
I suddenly remembered
you were due to meet Arthur.
00:56:10,705 --> 00:56:13,361
Oh,
at least somebody remembered.
00:56:13,361 --> 00:56:15,750
You mean he's not here either?
00:56:17,425 --> 00:56:18,766
Oh strange.
00:56:19,313 --> 00:56:21,233
Gertrude, are you quite well?
00:56:21,233 --> 00:56:23,175
Me? Yes, of course
00:56:24,657 --> 00:56:26,566
No, I'm not at all.
00:56:28,752 --> 00:56:30,061
Could we talk?
00:56:30,352 --> 00:56:32,784
Everything I have ever learned,
indeed all that I believe,
00:56:32,784 --> 00:56:35,632
Ieads me to reject and revile
him for what he has done.
00:56:35,632 --> 00:56:36,720
And yet...
00:56:36,720 --> 00:56:37,904
And yet?
00:56:37,904 --> 00:56:43,152
...I have never known such joy
as when I'm with him.
00:56:43,152 --> 00:56:45,648
I've never felt so...
00:56:45,648 --> 00:56:49,325
free as when I'm lying in his arms.
00:56:51,856 --> 00:56:54,736
Well, Arthur, I shall look out
for you at the Commons...
00:56:54,736 --> 00:56:57,168
where at least I'll see your friend
submit to my desires.
00:56:57,168 --> 00:56:58,703
I wouldn't be too sure.
00:56:58,703 --> 00:57:01,807
Come now, we both know how dearly
he values his career.
00:57:01,807 --> 00:57:03,727
I look froward to him proving
you wrong I anticipate it keenly.
00:57:03,727 --> 00:57:08,079
In fact, I'd stake my shirt on it.
00:57:08,079 --> 00:57:09,295
Your shirt?
00:57:09,295 --> 00:57:13,071
Indeed I think I'd probably
wager my entire wardrobe
on his integrity.
00:57:13,071 --> 00:57:14,895
What confidence.
00:57:14,895 --> 00:57:17,164
Would you stake your liberty?
00:57:17,871 --> 00:57:19,278
My liberty?
00:57:19,951 --> 00:57:22,671
A rather charming little idea
has sprung into my head...
00:57:22,671 --> 00:57:24,047
and now I consider it,
00:57:24,047 --> 00:57:27,821
I discover it to be
a rather charming, big idea.
00:57:28,335 --> 00:57:29,578
Go on.
00:57:30,222 --> 00:57:34,286
If as you suggest,
he stands by his principles...
00:57:34,286 --> 00:57:37,358
condemns the scheme in question,
then shall I give you his letter.
00:57:37,358 --> 00:57:40,173
...to dispose of as you choose.
00:57:40,173 --> 00:57:41,998
But if as I project...
00:57:41,998 --> 00:57:45,581
he surrenders to my demands,
and publicly supports the scheme
00:57:45,581 --> 00:57:47,010
then...
00:57:47,501 --> 00:57:49,390
then shall I give you my hand
in marriage.
00:57:49,390 --> 00:57:50,670
Precisely.
00:57:50,670 --> 00:57:51,982
To dispose of as you please.
00:57:51,982 --> 00:57:55,693
As a better man, you must concede
there is a certain thrill to it.
00:57:55,693 --> 00:58:01,101
Concede too how elegantly I've eased
from proposal to proposition.
00:58:01,101 --> 00:58:04,109
And with barely any loss of face.
I'm most impressed indeed.
00:58:04,109 --> 00:58:07,109
We are creatures of compromise,
you and I.
00:58:08,045 --> 00:58:11,789
I await your response.
You're all of a sudden less
certain of your friend's true nature...
00:58:11,789 --> 00:58:14,658
when your own future
rests upon it.
00:58:16,204 --> 00:58:19,405
Not at all I accept
your wager in all confidence.
00:58:19,405 --> 00:58:21,037
You do?
00:58:21,037 --> 00:58:22,412
I do.
00:58:22,412 --> 00:58:23,917
Oh, Arthur...
00:58:23,917 --> 00:58:27,943
isn't it remarkable
how those two little words
can quicken the heart?
00:58:29,229 --> 00:58:33,580
Would you do something for me,
Gertrude?
00:58:33,580 --> 00:58:35,532
Would you accompany me to
the House of Commons?
00:58:35,532 --> 00:58:39,148
I believe there is a rather
interesting debate there tonight.
00:58:39,148 --> 00:58:42,731
I believe the Prime Minister
himself has taken an interest.
00:58:42,731 --> 00:58:45,068
And I believe...
00:58:45,068 --> 00:58:48,939
that its outcome will prove
particularly interesting to you.
00:58:48,939 --> 00:58:50,368
And to me.
00:58:52,075 --> 00:58:53,984
Whatever it may be.
00:59:10,058 --> 00:59:11,106
Damn!
00:59:30,186 --> 00:59:34,474
The Honourable Member
for Witney.
00:59:34,474 --> 00:59:36,042
Good evening, Chiltern.
00:59:36,042 --> 00:59:37,705
Prime Minister.
00:59:37,705 --> 00:59:40,073
I beg to ask the President of
the Board of Trade...
00:59:40,073 --> 00:59:44,106
to what extent he believes
the projected Argentine Canal...
00:59:44,106 --> 00:59:47,684
merits the nation's attention
and support.
00:59:48,937 --> 00:59:50,661
Mr. Speaker...
00:59:55,113 --> 00:59:57,545
I believe this excellent scheme...
00:59:57,545 --> 01:00:00,457
represents a genuine opportunity...
01:00:00,457 --> 01:00:02,281
to extend our trading routes...
01:00:02,281 --> 01:00:06,921
and to stamp our authority
on an increasingly vital...
01:00:06,921 --> 01:00:09,474
portion of the globe.
01:00:14,632 --> 01:00:16,585
Didn't expect to see you here.
01:00:16,585 --> 01:00:21,887
Nor did I But I find
I have developed a sudden and
very singular interest in politics.
01:00:22,184 --> 01:00:23,777
Married yet?
01:00:24,296 --> 01:00:26,151
Ask me again in half an hour.
01:00:28,584 --> 01:00:30,504
What?
01:00:30,504 --> 01:00:31,336
Nothing.
01:00:31,336 --> 01:00:32,519
The Honourable Member
for Cheltenham.
01:00:32,519 --> 01:00:33,704
Arthur...?
01:00:33,704 --> 01:00:36,519
I beg to ask the Under Secretary
for Foreign Affairs...
01:00:36,519 --> 01:00:41,159
to clarify his position
in respect to the proposed scheme.
01:00:41,159 --> 01:00:42,653
Answer.
01:00:45,735 --> 01:00:47,783
Let me first of all thank the...
01:00:47,783 --> 01:00:51,841
Honourable Member for his articulate
contribution to the debate.
01:00:53,895 --> 01:00:57,735
Since I last opportunity
to investigate this scheme...
01:00:57,735 --> 01:01:00,679
I have had the opportunity
to investigate this scheme...
01:01:00,679 --> 01:01:02,567
more thoroughly...
01:01:02,567 --> 01:01:07,869
and to grasp fully the ramifications
of our lending it support.
01:01:10,214 --> 01:01:13,149
I have to inform the House...
01:01:13,638 --> 01:01:15,525
that I was...
01:01:15,750 --> 01:01:17,506
mistaken...
01:01:18,566 --> 01:01:20,933
in my original perceptions...
01:01:21,350 --> 01:01:23,870
and that I have now taken
a rather different view.
01:01:37,318 --> 01:01:39,973
I, I find that now
I must agree with...
01:01:39,973 --> 01:01:45,925
my Right Honourable Friend that
this is indeed an excellent scheme.
01:01:45,925 --> 01:01:49,088
A genuine...opportunity.
01:01:51,909 --> 01:01:53,189
An opportunity...
01:01:53,189 --> 01:01:56,833
particularly if you happen
to be a corrupt investor...
01:02:01,765 --> 01:02:03,620
a corrupt investor...
01:02:03,620 --> 01:02:07,482
with nothing but self-interest
at heart.
01:02:10,340 --> 01:02:13,636
For now it is my utter conviction
that this scheme never should have had...
01:02:13,636 --> 01:02:17,252
or should ever have
any chance of success.
01:02:17,252 --> 01:02:20,708
It is a fraud
an infamous fraud at that.
01:02:20,708 --> 01:02:25,726
Our involvement would be
a political fraud of
the worst possible kind.
01:02:28,579 --> 01:02:32,355
This great nation...
01:02:32,355 --> 01:02:35,428
has long been
a great commercial power.
01:02:35,428 --> 01:02:39,843
Now it seems there exists
a growing compulsion to
use that power...
01:02:39,843 --> 01:02:42,403
merely to beget more power.
01:02:42,403 --> 01:02:46,691
Money merely to beget
more money...
01:02:46,691 --> 01:02:50,563
irrespective of the true
cost to the nation's soul.
01:02:50,563 --> 01:02:54,242
And it is this sickness,
a kind of moral blindness...
01:02:54,242 --> 01:03:00,322
...commerce without conscience,
which threatens to strike
at the very soul of this nation.
01:03:00,322 --> 01:03:04,251
And the only remedy that
I can see is to strike back and
to strike now!
01:03:06,722 --> 01:03:11,807
Hear, hear!
01:03:14,114 --> 01:03:18,658
As we stand as we stand
at the end of this most...
01:03:18,658 --> 01:03:21,186
eventful century...
01:03:21,186 --> 01:03:24,353
it seems that we do,
after all, have...
01:03:24,353 --> 01:03:26,529
...a genuine opportunity.
01:03:26,529 --> 01:03:30,689
One honest chance to shed our...
01:03:30,689 --> 01:03:34,017
sometimes imperfect past...
01:03:34,017 --> 01:03:35,841
to start again...
01:03:35,841 --> 01:03:39,649
to step unshackled
into the next century...
01:03:39,649 --> 01:03:43,904
and to look our future squarely...
01:03:43,904 --> 01:03:47,734
and proudly in the face.
01:03:50,305 --> 01:03:54,298
Order!
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,134
Gentlemen, if you please! Order!
01:04:01,121 --> 01:04:02,779
Order!
01:04:11,072 --> 01:04:14,400
You must agree,
it has been a romantic interlude,
Arthur.
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:19,582
You might even confess to
some faint and secret regret
at its outcome.
01:04:19,871 --> 01:04:23,552
For I do indeed feel some slight
relief that in the end...
01:04:23,552 --> 01:04:24,671
...Sir Robert has come to no harm.
01:04:24,671 --> 01:04:25,824
Really?
01:04:25,824 --> 01:04:30,143
Oh yes, you see I'm not
really quite as wicked
as you suppose.
01:04:30,143 --> 01:04:31,550
Mrs. Cheveley!
01:04:31,839 --> 01:04:35,385
And a lady must always honour
her bets.
01:04:36,127 --> 01:04:38,200
Come back with me, Arthur.
01:04:40,990 --> 01:04:42,998
Come back to Vienna.
01:04:44,959 --> 01:04:47,039
Bravo, Sir Robert.
01:04:47,039 --> 01:04:48,926
Seems I underestimated you.
01:04:48,926 --> 01:04:49,598
Robert.
01:04:49,598 --> 01:04:51,391
