Iris
|
| 00:02:15 |
I want you to come quick. |
| 00:02:17 |
Don't go! |
| 00:02:34 |
Edward Lanman was sitting in |
| 00:02:40 |
The sun was shining |
| 00:02:58 |
Iris. |
| 00:03:00 |
Iris, wait for me. |
| 00:03:02 |
Just keep tight hold of me and it'll be all right. |
| 00:03:05 |
-You won't keep still. |
| 00:03:08 |
I can't catch up with you. |
| 00:03:33 |
-Iris, you've got bicycle oil on your ankle. |
| 00:03:39 |
Those of you, our guests... |
| 00:03:41 |
... on whose magnificent generosity |
| 00:03:43 |
...we really are most frightfully grateful... |
| 00:03:46 |
...will need no introduction to |
| 00:03:51 |
... an honorary fellow, Dame Iris Murdoch. |
| 00:03:55 |
She's a noted philosopher as well as |
| 00:04:00 |
And we are honoured to have her with us today. |
| 00:04:03 |
As well as the distinguished |
| 00:04:07 |
...who has the great good fortune |
| 00:04:11 |
I need say no more about her. |
| 00:04:13 |
For good wine needs no bush. |
| 00:04:15 |
But she will not mind comparison with... |
| 00:04:19 |
... say, a really fine vintage claret. |
| 00:04:25 |
... Dame Iris will speak to you |
| 00:04:41 |
Education doesn't make you happy. |
| 00:04:48 |
We don't become happy |
| 00:04:53 |
... or because we've been educated, if we have. |
| 00:04:56 |
But because education may be the means... |
| 00:04:59 |
... by which we realise we are happy. |
| 00:05:02 |
It opens our eyes, our ears. |
| 00:05:04 |
Tells us where delights are lurking. |
| 00:05:07 |
Convinces us that there is only one freedom... |
| 00:05:11 |
... of any importance whatsoever. |
| 00:05:14 |
That of the mind. |
| 00:05:16 |
And gives us the assurance,the confidence... |
| 00:05:19 |
...to walk the path our mind, |
| 00:05:26 |
I shall tell him all my love. |
| 00:05:31 |
All my soul's adoration. |
| 00:05:35 |
And I think he will hear me. |
| 00:05:39 |
And will not say me nay. |
| 00:05:43 |
It is this that gives my soul. |
| 00:05:47 |
All it's joyous elation. |
| 00:05:52 |
As I hear the sweet larks sing. |
| 00:05:57 |
In the clear air of the day. |
| 00:06:03 |
Yes, of course there's something fishy... |
| 00:06:05 |
... about describing people's feelings. |
| 00:06:07 |
Try hard to beaccurate, but... |
| 00:06:09 |
... as soon as you start to define |
| 00:06:11 |
... language let's you down. |
| 00:06:12 |
When we really speak the truth, |
| 00:06:15 |
Almost everything, |
| 00:06:20 |
... is a lie of a sort. |
| 00:06:26 |
And pass the gravy. |
| 00:06:33 |
But love, or at least unsatisfied love... |
| 00:06:34 |
... is concerned as much with understanding. |
| 00:06:36 |
And real love, extreme love... |
| 00:06:38 |
... once it's recognised |
| 00:06:40 |
Ah, John, may I call you, John, may I? |
| 00:06:42 |
Meet Miss Murdoch. |
| 00:06:44 |
Iris, my dear, John Bayley. |
| 00:06:45 |
One of the more promising young lecturers |
| 00:06:47 |
Though I caught him out over |
| 00:06:51 |
A minor question of Anglo-Saxon syntax. |
| 00:06:57 |
Wine! |
| 00:07:00 |
I mean... |
| 00:07:02 |
... It went down the wrong way. |
| 00:07:04 |
Yes, I like that. |
| 00:07:07 |
There is a right way down, of course. |
| 00:07:09 |
Amazing how most of us find it |
| 00:07:12 |
I rarely think... |
| 00:07:14 |
If you think about it, you'll never find it. |
| 00:07:16 |
Best thing to do |
| 00:07:19 |
Human beings love each other. |
| 00:07:21 |
In sex, in friendship... |
| 00:07:24 |
... and when they're in love. |
| 00:07:28 |
And they cherish other beings. |
| 00:07:30 |
Humans, animals, plants - even stones. |
| 00:07:35 |
The quest for happiness |
| 00:07:40 |
--is in all of this |
| 00:07:45 |
I'm writing a novel. |
| 00:07:48 |
I don't suppose you have the time |
| 00:07:52 |
I've written one. It's going to be published. |
| 00:07:54 |
And I'm writing another. |
| 00:07:56 |
Can I read it? |
| 00:07:59 |
No-one has read It -- None of my friends. |
| 00:08:03 |
What's it about? |
| 00:08:05 |
About? It has something for everyone. |
| 00:08:08 |
A bit like Shakespeare? |
| 00:08:09 |
Perhaps, yes. |
| 00:08:11 |
Please don't talk to anyone about it. |
| 00:08:14 |
No. Course not. |
| 00:08:16 |
I won't tell a soul. |
| 00:08:26 |
Every human soul has seen, |
| 00:08:31 |
... pure forms. Such as justice, temperance... |
| 00:08:37 |
... beauty ... |
| 00:08:39 |
... and all the great moral qualities |
| 00:08:42 |
We are moved towards what is good... |
| 00:08:45 |
... by the faint memory of these forms. |
| 00:08:48 |
Simple - -and calm and blessed... |
| 00:08:52 |
...which we saw once in a pure clear light... |
| 00:08:56 |
... being pure ourselves. |
| 00:09:03 |
'Wholegrain'. |
| 00:09:07 |
What is whole? |
| 00:09:11 |
Oh, spaghetti. |
| 00:09:13 |
If you have a whole you have a whole. |
| 00:09:14 |
Ooh, sausages. |
| 00:09:16 |
You and me is a whole. |
| 00:09:17 |
If you toddle off there's a hole in the whole. |
| 00:09:20 |
But a whole can't be broken, |
| 00:09:23 |
-Baked beans. |
| 00:09:25 |
Do you want Premium points? |
| 00:09:27 |
Do we deserve them? |
| 00:09:28 |
-Do you want bags? |
| 00:09:30 |
You know, it's all around us, |
| 00:09:33 |
I know, I know. |
| 00:09:35 |
Bag for life: |
| 00:09:37 |
-For life? |
| 00:09:39 |
We have to ask, give you the choice. |
| 00:09:42 |
Ooh, rather. |
| 00:09:44 |
You just have to listen, that's the job. |
| 00:09:46 |
You call it a job but it's like music, what you do. |
| 00:09:50 |
You live with the angels, |
| 00:09:54 |
Nowadays the only language |
| 00:09:58 |
...is pictures. Paint the picture. |
| 00:10:02 |
See, now I'm bagged for life. |
| 00:10:06 |
Love's the only language everyone understands. |
| 00:10:08 |
Ooh love, yes. |
| 00:10:10 |
I can read It but I can't speak it. |
| 00:10:20 |
My coat's caught on your chair. |
| 00:10:33 |
And the captain said |
| 00:10:36 |
..."which would you rather have, Mr Smith?" |
| 00:10:38 |
"The bigger one, sir." |
| 00:10:40 |
"Wrong, Mr Smith, wrong." |
| 00:10:43 |
...choose the lesser of the two weevils." |
| 00:10:45 |
Patrick O'Brian. |
| 00:10:46 |
"Between two evils |
| 00:10:49 |
Mea West. Oh my vest! |
| 00:10:52 |
I tore my vest again this morning. |
| 00:10:53 |
You must get some new vests. |
| 00:10:55 |
Jolly good. |
| 00:10:57 |
You must get some new vests. |
| 00:10:59 |
I just said that. |
| 00:11:03 |
You're always saying |
| 00:11:06 |
Good job |
| 00:11:09 |
You remembered. |
| 00:11:11 |
No, but I remembered |
| 00:11:14 |
They were very sweet about it. |
| 00:11:16 |
Glad not to have listen to you, I expect. |
| 00:11:18 |
Oh, I'm sure. |
| 00:11:20 |
They'd have been delighted |
| 00:11:22 |
I always have been. |
| 00:11:34 |
-Iris! |
| 00:11:39 |
Than kyou. Keep the change. |
| 00:11:41 |
-Janet. Janet! |
| 00:11:45 |
Am I late? |
| 00:11:47 |
Oh no, it's the hokie-cokie. |
| 00:11:51 |
Oh, John, wait. I've got my stocking caught up. |
| 00:11:56 |
Stupid things. Really. |
| 00:12:11 |
I'm not sure I'm entirely -- I'm so sorry. |
| 00:12:15 |
Oh, sorry. |
| 00:12:19 |
Cha-cha-cha. |
| 00:12:28 |
Cha-cha-cha. |
| 00:12:33 |
-Thank you. |
| 00:12:37 |
That was my husband. |
| 00:12:41 |
Cha-cha-cha. |
| 00:12:45 |
Are you with Iris? |
| 00:12:48 |
Hoping so. |
| 00:12:50 |
You know we have... |
| 00:12:51 |
I thought we had. |
| 00:12:52 |
...nearly met. |
| 00:12:54 |
-Are you a friend of Iris? |
| 00:12:56 |
She seems to have a lot of f... |
| 00:12:59 |
Janet Stone. John Bayley. |
| 00:13:06 |
-How do you do? |
| 00:13:09 |
Shall we? |
| 00:13:10 |
What are your rooms like? |
| 00:13:12 |
Adequate,thank you. |
| 00:13:14 |
I'd like to see them. |
| 00:13:19 |
Do you have a lot of friends? |
| 00:13:22 |
Is a list of my friends necessary? |
| 00:13:23 |
I justwondered if you had many. |
| 00:13:26 |
There aren't many people |
| 00:13:30 |
Iris! |
| 00:13:39 |
You might fall. |
| 00:13:41 |
Would you like some champagne? |
| 00:13:43 |
That would be nice. |
| 00:13:44 |
I've had some since Christmas... |
| 00:13:56 |
I shouldn't be doing this. |
| 00:13:59 |
What? |
| 00:14:00 |
Having women in my room. It's not permitted. |
| 00:14:03 |
I wouldn't say you'd had me exactly. |
| 00:14:06 |
Have you danced before? |
| 00:14:12 |
It was all right, wasn't it? |
| 00:14:15 |
Oh, I think so. |
| 00:14:16 |
Broke the ice, so to speak. |
| 00:14:19 |
-"Ice"? |
| 00:14:21 |
It'll do. |
| 00:14:24 |
Aren't you particular |
| 00:14:27 |
I'm only here under sufferance really, |
| 00:14:32 |
I get all the Americans |
| 00:14:36 |
You love words, don't you? |
| 00:14:39 |
If one doesn't have words, how does one think? |
| 00:14:44 |
Shall I do that? |
| 00:14:47 |
What is your novel about? |
| 00:14:50 |
About? |
| 00:14:54 |
How to be free. |
| 00:14:55 |
How to be good... |
| 00:14:59 |
...and how to love. |
| 00:15:01 |
Well, that's all there is, I'd say. |
| 00:15:06 |
Language is all very well, you know, but... |
| 00:15:09 |
...it's not the only way |
| 00:15:13 |
There's sight and... |
| 00:15:14 |
...and smell and...touch, of course. |
| 00:15:22 |
I love your nose. |
| 00:15:26 |
It's snub. |
| 00:15:36 |
Snubby... |
| 00:15:38 |
...snubby, snubby. |
| 00:15:42 |
it's snubby, snubby, snubby. |
| 00:16:06 |
Let me do that to you. |
| 00:16:08 |
Take off your jacket. |
| 00:16:33 |
If we were, as it were, married... |
| 00:16:37 |
...we could do this all the time. |
| 00:16:39 |
Perhaps? |
| 00:16:41 |
We should be doing it nearly all the time. |
| 00:16:43 |
Yes, but if... |
| 00:16:51 |
Thank you. |
| 00:17:27 |
Look. |
| 00:17:38 |
I'm stopping you working. |
| 00:17:40 |
Yes, well, I don't mind. |
| 00:17:45 |
How's it coming along? |
| 00:17:48 |
It's harder to write than all the others. Much. |
| 00:17:50 |
Have you noticed? |
| 00:17:52 |
Just that you've seemed... |
| 00:17:57 |
That's it, yes. |
| 00:18:00 |
Puzzled. |
| 00:18:04 |
Puzzled. It's a funny word. |
| 00:18:10 |
All words are like that |
| 00:18:15 |
Have you got a title? |
| 00:18:19 |
'A lot of trees... |
| 00:18:21 |
...seem near.' |
| 00:18:27 |
We must stop it. |
| 00:18:28 |
What to do? |
| 00:18:30 |
The window, John, the window! |
| 00:18:34 |
No. See... |
| 00:18:36 |
...it's gone. |
| 00:18:46 |
We all worry about going mad, don'twe? |
| 00:18:51 |
How would we know... |
| 00:18:53 |
...those of us who live in our minds anyway? |
| 00:18:59 |
Other people would tell us. |
| 00:19:03 |
Would they, John? |
| 00:19:10 |
I don't want to set the world... |
| 00:19:12 |
Sorry. |
| 00:19:14 |
...on fire. |
| 00:19:20 |
John Bayley. |
| 00:19:39 |
Haven't seen her for ages. |
| 00:19:41 |
Jolly good -- nice. |
| 00:19:44 |
Takes all sorts. Not that I ... |
| 00:19:47 |
...we're all men at St Anthony's. |
| 00:19:50 |
Do you like women? |
| 00:19:52 |
I mean, do women like you? |
| 00:19:55 |
You mean lesbians? |
| 00:19:57 |
Yes. |
| 00:19:59 |
Would it bother you if they did? |
| 00:20:00 |
Oh no, the some thing happens with me. |
| 00:20:04 |
And do you go to bed with them? |
| 00:20:06 |
Lord no. |
| 00:20:08 |
At the college... they are all, |
| 00:20:12 |
..."Old fashioned lesbians of the highest type". |
| 00:20:15 |
And do you go to bed with them? |
| 00:22:59 |
-Dame Iris? |
| 00:23:03 |
It's this way. |
| 00:23:04 |
She's written philosophy and plays and poetry... |
| 00:23:07 |
...but her novels are her lasting literay legacy. |
| 00:23:11 |
Iris Murdoch is acknowledged |
| 00:23:15 |
...of her generation. |
| 00:23:16 |
A little excessive, don't you think? |
| 00:23:20 |
What do you reckon, shall I take that again? |
| 00:23:24 |
Her novels embrace the subjects of freedom... |
| 00:23:27 |
...and what it means to be good. |
| 00:23:29 |
And they're all studies |
| 00:23:33 |
She's written philosophy and plays and poetry... |
| 00:23:37 |
...but her novels are her lasting literay legacy. |
| 00:23:40 |
People, ofcourse, |
| 00:23:43 |
...want to appear what they call 'ordinary'. |
| 00:23:48 |
Everybody has thoughts they want to conceal. |
| 00:23:52 |
Perhaps even |
| 00:23:56 |
People have obsessions and fears and... |
| 00:24:00 |
...and passions which they don't admit to. |
| 00:24:02 |
I think any character |
| 00:24:09 |
it's a novelist's privilege to... |
| 00:24:12 |
...see how odd everyone is. |
| 00:24:15 |
In your novels you yourself... |
| 00:24:17 |
...were very exacting your use of language... |
| 00:24:20 |
...but in general terms, do you think |
| 00:24:25 |
Reading and writing... |
| 00:24:27 |
...and the preservation of language |
| 00:24:30 |
...and... |
| 00:24:32 |
...the kind of eloquence |
| 00:24:39 |
...is something terribly important |
| 00:24:42 |
...this is connected to thought. |
| 00:24:47 |
If children are not taught... |
| 00:25:01 |
What did you say? Did you ask...? |
| 00:25:03 |
I was asking about the importance of language. |
| 00:25:31 |
John. |
| 00:25:33 |
John. John. |
| 00:25:35 |
Iris? |
| 00:25:39 |
John. |
| 00:25:42 |
-Oh, you're there. I'm back. |
| 00:25:44 |
-Much earlier than I thought. |
| 00:25:48 |
I didn't know why I was there. |
| 00:25:50 |
You were going to do an interview. |
| 00:25:52 |
-Well,what interview? |
| 00:25:53 |
And see your publisher? |
| 00:25:56 |
-Was it your publisher? |
| 00:26:00 |
I didn't expect you back for ages. |
| 00:26:01 |
-Has Norah rung? |
| 00:26:03 |
Iris, Norah's dead. |
| 00:26:07 |
Oh, so she is. Oh,that is sad. |
| 00:26:11 |
Of, well, nevermind. |
| 00:26:12 |
It must have been Ed. |
| 00:26:14 |
What for? |
| 00:26:16 |
Oh, so I came back. |
| 00:26:23 |
What is... |
| 00:26:26 |
...the name of the Prime Minister? |
| 00:26:34 |
-Are you asking me? |
| 00:26:39 |
I know. |
| 00:26:41 |
Okay, what is the name of the Prime Minister? |
| 00:26:44 |
I don't know. Ask John. Surely It doesn't matter. |
| 00:26:46 |
Okay. Well, no, not really. |
| 00:26:49 |
Someone will know. |
| 00:26:56 |
Who would you like to see? |
| 00:26:58 |
-I mean, is there anyone...? |
| 00:27:00 |
Shall I look up some names, talk to someone? |
| 00:27:03 |
I've got a lot of ideas, |
| 00:27:05 |
It happens all the time, forgetting names. |
| 00:27:11 |
So, does it happens all the time? |
| 00:27:13 |
Does she mean "writer's block"? |
| 00:27:16 |
-Iris can always write, Doctor. |
| 00:27:17 |
-Iris is a person of some... |
| 00:27:22 |
But surely in her case, |
| 00:27:26 |
We'll have to be certain. |
| 00:27:29 |
Well, I don't think I can... |
| 00:27:34 |
Iris finds her new book very tiring and difficult. |
| 00:27:37 |
Basically, I'll arrange something. |
| 00:27:40 |
Iris has a very clear mind... |
| 00:27:42 |
...mine's a muddle but not hers. |
| 00:27:45 |
She does everything, always has. |
| 00:27:47 |
...tickets for things... |
| 00:27:49 |
I never know how she manages |
| 00:27:54 |
Well, they can get your help. |
| 00:27:56 |
No, nobody would suit. We're odd, you know. |
| 00:28:02 |
There's a very good place, |
| 00:28:04 |
-Not necessary. |
| 00:28:06 |
-Not your fault. I'm sorry. |
| 00:28:08 |
Well...take care. |
| 00:28:11 |
Goodbye, Doctor. |
| 00:28:16 |
Iris! |
| 00:28:18 |
I'm sure the country won't go to the dogs. |
| 00:28:20 |
Not knowing the Prime Minister's name |
| 00:28:24 |
-Absolutely. |
| 00:28:26 |
It'll be all right. |
| 00:28:28 |
Well, it will be if you stop worrying. |
| 00:28:31 |
I've got a book to finish. |
| 00:28:33 |
...Tony Blair. So there. |
| 00:28:43 |
Iris, are you comfortable? |
| 00:28:46 |
I'm going to start the scan now. |
| 00:28:50 |
Try to relax. |
| 00:29:21 |
John. |
| 00:29:23 |
-Oh Janet. |
| 00:29:25 |
Is Iris still...? I'm so sorry I'm late. |
| 00:29:27 |
I don't know what's going to happen, Janet. |
| 00:29:29 |
I've left the car outside - the engine's running. |
| 00:29:32 |
-...won't be a mo. |
| 00:29:33 |
-See you out there. |
| 00:29:52 |
-John, I'm frightened. |
| 00:29:59 |
Janet's got the car. |
| 00:30:03 |
It will -- be... |
| 00:30:14 |
-It's done. |
| 00:30:17 |
I thought you were close. |
| 00:30:19 |
So far it hasn't made any difference. |
| 00:30:22 |
Here's to it. |
| 00:30:25 |
Must try and keep working. |
| 00:30:27 |
-You must. |
| 00:30:29 |
And here's to the next one. |
| 00:30:30 |
Just keep working, |
| 00:30:33 |
Keep at it. |
| 00:30:34 |
I shall come on |
| 00:30:37 |
Be liked a starved dog. |
| 00:30:39 |
No, no, no. I'll keep you at it. |
| 00:30:42 |
I feel... |
| 00:30:45 |
...as if I'm sailing into darkness. |
| 00:30:54 |
Thing you eat with. |
| 00:30:58 |
animal |
| 00:31:00 |
An-im-al. |
| 00:31:07 |
Toothbrush. |
| 00:31:10 |
...no... |
| 00:31:13 |
Yes. |
| 00:31:16 |
Por... |
| 00:31:21 |
No. See... |
| 00:31:24 |
Portrait |
| 00:31:26 |
Tennis thing. |
| 00:31:31 |
dog |
| 00:31:33 |
God. |
| 00:31:36 |
Iris is getting tired, I'm afraid. |
| 00:31:38 |
Can we have the blinds? |
| 00:31:41 |
Dame Iris, thank you very much. Than kyou. |
| 00:31:44 |
Well done, puss. |
| 00:31:45 |
Dame Iris, thank you very much indeed. |
| 00:31:48 |
It's so kind of you to come, Dame Iris. |
| 00:31:50 |
Thank you, I like it. Thank you very much. |
| 00:31:52 |
Is it any help? |
| 00:31:53 |
Well to us? Yes. |
| 00:31:55 |
It's implacable. |
| 00:31:59 |
What does that mean? |
| 00:32:01 |
It means inexorable. |
| 00:32:03 |
I know what the word means -- to me. To us. |
| 00:32:07 |
You see, words have meant everything to her. |
| 00:32:10 |
They would still mean something? |
| 00:32:13 |
It can't just be dead birds dropping. |
| 00:32:17 |
I know what it means and, |
| 00:32:21 |
... it frightens me, but... |
| 00:32:23 |
...and then sometimes |
| 00:32:26 |
...that's just as bad |
| 00:32:31 |
No, it's not...It won't win. |
| 00:32:36 |
It will win. |
| 00:32:39 |
There. It will win. |
| 00:32:42 |
That's very kind. |
| 00:32:52 |
Iris. |
| 00:32:53 |
Iris,wait for me. |
| 00:32:55 |
Just keep tight hold of me and it'll be all right! |
| 00:32:59 |
You won't keep still! |
| 00:33:01 |
I can' tkeep still! |
| 00:33:03 |
I can't catch up with you! |
| 00:33:05 |
Speed up! |
| 00:33:21 |
Oh, good morning. |
| 00:33:23 |
Ah, no... |
| 00:33:25 |
I think it's the... |
| 00:33:28 |
...person who brings the post, John! |
| 00:33:31 |
-Yes, it is. |
| 00:33:34 |
John! So Sorry. |
| 00:33:36 |
-Thank you. |
| 00:33:38 |
So Sorry. |
| 00:33:45 |
Go on. Go on, go on, go on... |
| 00:33:51 |
It's only the postman. |
| 00:33:52 |
-It's only the postman. |
| 00:33:55 |
It's only the postman. |
| 00:33:57 |
It's for you -- It's your book. |
| 00:34:00 |
-What's that? |
| 00:34:03 |
It's only the postman. |
| 00:34:05 |
It's your book. |
| 00:34:07 |
-IRIS MURDOCH - JACKSON'S DILEMA |
| 00:34:10 |
Why don't you look at it? |
| 00:34:14 |
It's only the postman. |
| 00:34:24 |
Oh, damn! |
| 00:34:26 |
Stop nudging up to me like a water buffalo. |
| 00:34:30 |
I have a lot to do. Lots to do, Iris. |
| 00:34:35 |
See what I've done now?! |
| 00:34:37 |
It's not your fault. Not your fault. Sorry, sorry. |
| 00:34:40 |
-It's only the postman. |
| 00:34:43 |
So sorry. There's lots to do. |
| 00:35:08 |
Which side do I go? |
| 00:35:25 |
Ask me my three |
| 00:35:29 |
...and I tell you... |
| 00:35:31 |
...education, education and education. |
| 00:35:35 |
John. John! Why does he keep saying that? |
| 00:35:40 |
-By what? |
| 00:35:46 |
I think he means learning, |
| 00:35:50 |
Why does he keep saying it? |
| 00:35:52 |
Politicians have to keep repeating things |
| 00:35:57 |
They have to do anything |
| 00:36:04 |
Why does he want to eat a sheep's ear? |
| 00:36:09 |
Shall I turn it off? |
| 00:36:10 |
No! |
| 00:36:11 |
We could go for a swim tomorrow, |
| 00:36:14 |
-No. |
| 00:36:17 |
When you swim you love it, swim? |
| 00:36:23 |
When are we leaving? |
| 00:36:26 |
Not today. |
| 00:36:28 |
Are we going to London? |
| 00:36:30 |
No, we're going for a swim. |
| 00:36:33 |
When are we leaving? |
| 00:36:36 |
Not today. |
| 00:36:39 |
When are we leaving? |
| 00:36:53 |
Iris -- Iris, wait for me. |
| 00:37:05 |
-You dirty old man! |
| 00:37:11 |
There we go. Well done. |
| 00:37:14 |
No, Iris, not with your socks on, your socks! |
| 00:37:30 |
No, no, give me your hand. Give me your hand. |
| 00:37:32 |
Give me your hand... |
| 00:37:34 |
You'll pull me in. No, no... |
| 00:37:38 |
You're all right. I won't let you go. |
| 00:37:42 |
Let me get you dry. You're all right. |
| 00:37:45 |
Where are your socks? Socks? No? |
| 00:37:51 |
Uppy, uppy hands. Uppy hands. Let's get it on. |
| 00:37:53 |
That's it. |
| 00:37:55 |
Iris, come on. Just put your hand... |
| 00:38:00 |
...like this. Up hand. Up. |
| 00:38:01 |
-Let's get your head through. |
| 00:38:04 |
No, let's go now. |
| 00:38:06 |
Iris, as soon as we've got your head in! Iris. |
| 00:38:07 |
-Let's go now... |
| 00:38:09 |
Where's my petticoat? |
| 00:38:11 |
Here. |
| 00:38:19 |
Are you sure he's expecting me? |
| 00:38:35 |
Maurice. |
| 00:38:37 |
I've brought John. You said I might...? |
| 00:38:39 |
Did I? And did you say you would? |
| 00:38:43 |
Yes. Well...come in. |
| 00:38:46 |
-Maurice Charlton. |
| 00:38:55 |
Isn't it hot? |
| 00:38:57 |
Yes, Itis. I've got just the thing will cool. |
| 00:39:03 |
I imagine your friend |
| 00:39:07 |
Not today, is he? |
| 00:39:19 |
You and I |
| 00:39:22 |
I think so. |
| 00:39:24 |
Does it matter? |
| 00:39:26 |
No. |
| 00:39:27 |
It's not important, is it? |
| 00:39:30 |
What Maurice means is that most of my real... |
| 00:39:32 |
...my other friends are -- older than me. |
| 00:39:35 |
Much older. |
| 00:39:38 |
Yes, and there's a |
| 00:39:40 |
She likes people with a bit of a past. |
| 00:39:45 |
She uses them... Don't you? |
| 00:39:47 |
No I don't. |
| 00:39:48 |
For your novel, don't you Iris? |
| 00:39:50 |
-I haven't read it |
| 00:39:53 |
Neither have you Maurice, so don't play games. |
| 00:39:55 |
Nobody reads it. |
| 00:39:59 |
The gentle lady hasn't yet |
| 00:40:03 |
Iris doesn't like to talk about it. Do you Iris? |
| 00:40:06 |
It's because it's full of people she knows. |
| 00:40:09 |
All these masters of thought |
| 00:40:13 |
Bound to be. We all know. Isn't it, Iris? |
| 00:40:17 |
No. You can think what you like, |
| 00:40:20 |
Nobody knows but me. |
| 00:40:22 |
And -- I'm not telling. |
| 00:40:25 |
I thought it was as secret? |
| 00:40:26 |
I know Iris doesn't want it talked about. |
| 00:40:29 |
Come on, Iris, |
| 00:40:32 |
I don't see how you -- anyone can. |
| 00:40:35 |
They won't. They won't. |
| 00:40:38 |
I hate that sort of thing. I won't ever do it. |
| 00:40:40 |
I don't see the point |
| 00:40:41 |
There's no fun in that. |
| 00:40:43 |
They won't see themselves. |
| 00:40:44 |
Don't people written about in novels |
| 00:40:48 |
-I'm sure they do, but... |
| 00:40:50 |
"You can use anyone you like in a novel... |
| 00:40:52 |
...as long as you |
| 00:40:55 |
-...even though..." |
| 00:41:00 |
Evelyn Waugh. |
| 00:41:01 |
"And so to bed." Samuel Pepys. |
| 00:41:05 |
So, have you granted your favour to John? |
| 00:41:08 |
Told him who's in the novel? |
| 00:41:10 |
We have other things to talk about. |
| 00:41:18 |
No-one has read my novel. |
| 00:41:20 |
-No-one but the publisher. |
| 00:41:22 |
Well, it does matter, I feel let down. |
| 00:41:25 |
Am I not a small part of your life? |
| 00:41:36 |
You were very gallant. |
| 00:41:37 |
Very stupid. |
| 00:41:39 |
No, John. |
| 00:41:46 |
Will you come in? |
| 00:41:54 |
Have you been entertained? |
| 00:41:56 |
Yes. |
| 00:41:59 |
All these people... |
| 00:42:00 |
...and to think I chose you |
| 00:42:05 |
thought that... I thought no competition. |
| 00:42:08 |
What's this? |
| 00:42:09 |
A friend made it. |
| 00:42:11 |
Is she a cook, your friend? |
| 00:42:13 |
No, he's ap hilosopher. But |
| 00:42:18 |
I'd like you to read this. |
| 00:42:23 |
I was rather afraid you might not like it. |
| 00:42:29 |
Thank you. |
| 00:42:33 |
I value your opinion. |
| 00:42:41 |
Perhaps it's time we made love? |
| 00:42:44 |
Yes? |
| 00:42:45 |
Yes. That's what I thought. |
| 00:42:50 |
Have you got a French letter? |
| 00:42:54 |
A rubber thingy? |
| 00:42:56 |
Oh, good Lord, no. |
| 00:42:59 |
Well... |
| 00:43:06 |
...we'll just have to be careful. |
| 00:43:31 |
I don't exactly... |
| 00:43:34 |
Probably easier if you take your trousers off. |
| 00:43:38 |
Yes, of course. I've never... |
| 00:43:43 |
I'm a rather late starter. |
| 00:43:46 |
My brother used to have to... |
| 00:43:48 |
...tie my shoelaces for me till I was seven. |
| 00:43:51 |
-I don't know if... |
| 00:43:56 |
It'll all go... |
| 00:44:00 |
swimmingly. |
| 00:44:02 |
-Help. |
| 00:44:03 |
Iris, calm down. No. |
| 00:44:08 |
No. Help, help. |
| 00:44:13 |
I am trying to help you. |
| 00:44:53 |
Sorry. |
| 00:44:57 |
Please don't, Iris. |
| 00:45:02 |
You have nothing to be sorry about. |
| 00:45:09 |
It'd be unfair and I couldn't bear it. |
| 00:45:14 |
We should be saying sorry to you. |
| 00:45:19 |
And not just sorry, but... |
| 00:45:28 |
Shall I read to you? Shall I? |
| 00:45:40 |
Occupied in observing |
| 00:45:44 |
Elizabeth was far from suspecting... |
| 00:45:47 |
...that she was herself |
| 00:45:51 |
...in the eyes of his friend. |
| 00:45:54 |
Mr Darcy had, at first, |
| 00:45:59 |
I wrote. |
| 00:46:03 |
Yes, my darling clever cat. |
| 00:46:07 |
You wrote books. |
| 00:46:09 |
Books. I wrote. |
| 00:46:13 |
You wrote novels. |
| 00:46:15 |
Wonderful novels. |
| 00:46:20 |
I wrote. |
| 00:46:22 |
Such things you wrote. |
| 00:46:26 |
Special things... |
| 00:46:28 |
...secret things. |
| 00:46:38 |
Do you know many secrets now, Iris? |
| 00:46:44 |
You have shown me a map of Iris'... |
| 00:46:48 |
...brain world. Empty... |
| 00:46:51 |
You tell me that its hidden mysteries and ... |
| 00:46:54 |
...and all the unknown life |
| 00:46:59 |
How then... |
| 00:47:01 |
How can she say things |
| 00:47:05 |
Which bit of the empty jungle |
| 00:47:10 |
-We don't know. |
| 00:47:13 |
Don't hide, please. |
| 00:47:17 |
Is it not remotely possible... |
| 00:47:22 |
...that what Iris says |
| 00:47:27 |
yes, perhaps. |
| 00:47:28 |
So, perhaps we ought to learn her language... |
| 00:47:34 |
...before the lights go out. |
| 00:47:36 |
The lights -- will go out. |
| 00:47:39 |
Yes, of course they will. |
| 00:47:40 |
You all keep telling me, us, that. |
| 00:47:42 |
I know that. She may even know that herself. |
| 00:47:46 |
Iris. |
| 00:47:51 |
I'm sure you can write it. |
| 00:47:54 |
Persevere. |
| 00:47:56 |
Iris, your notebook! |
| 00:48:13 |
No, Iris. No, no. Come, come. |
| 00:48:18 |
That's it. |
| 00:48:23 |
we'll walk -- we'll read... |
| 00:48:27 |
...and then you'll write. Be just like the old days. |
| 00:48:41 |
It's Iris, mama. |
| 00:48:47 |
Look who's here, Iris. |
| 00:48:48 |
Hello. Hello. |
| 00:49:02 |
Yes, Iris, sea. |
| 00:49:05 |
I thought we'd walk, calm her down a bit. |
| 00:49:07 |
She has an idea for a novel. |
| 00:49:10 |
-Hello, Iris. |
| 00:49:12 |
Talk to her, Janet. |
| 00:49:15 |
Hello, Iris. The sea's a bit cold for swimming. |
| 00:49:20 |
Stay as long as you like, there's plenty of room. |
| 00:49:22 |
-We don't want to be nuisance... |
| 00:49:25 |
It's as much for mum as anyone, |
| 00:49:27 |
Can't rush around these days, |
| 00:49:33 |
-Is she ill? |
| 00:49:36 |
She's really not... |
| 00:49:41 |
What do we do? |
| 00:49:42 |
Just talk to her. |
| 00:49:44 |
Say things to her |
| 00:51:13 |
It's all right, is it, John? |
| 00:51:17 |
It'll get better |
| 00:51:24 |
Iris has got more than one world |
| 00:51:27 |
...a secret world. |
| 00:51:30 |
Until another book comes out. |
| 00:51:33 |
I'm only friend that knows of her secret world. |
| 00:51:35 |
Oh, John. |
| 00:51:37 |
No, no, it's like living in a fairy story. |
| 00:51:39 |
I'm the young man in love |
| 00:51:42 |
...who disappears into an unknown |
| 00:51:45 |
...but who always comes back. |
| 00:51:57 |
Iris! |
| 00:51:59 |
Look. |
| 00:52:01 |
Iris, look, he's got his clothes on. |
| 00:52:04 |
He's got his clothes on! |
| 00:52:06 |
He's got his clothes on. He's got his clothes on. |
| 00:52:12 |
Seems very sensible to me. |
| 00:53:02 |
-Janet, are you all right? |
| 00:53:04 |
I thought I'd get her to sign this. |
| 00:53:09 |
Anything is fine. Just get her to write. |
| 00:53:14 |
Does she know anything about her past? |
| 00:53:17 |
Her career, work, friends? |
| 00:53:19 |
Something of a closed book. |
| 00:53:24 |
But it's there -- I know it. |
| 00:53:45 |
Oh, that's wonderful. Well done, puss. |
| 00:53:49 |
Good to see your book so well received, Iris. |
| 00:53:53 |
Yes, wasn't it? |
| 00:53:54 |
You thought you'd never finish it, didn't you? |
| 00:53:57 |
I read her the reviews. |
| 00:53:58 |
You hated me doing it before. |
| 00:54:03 |
Would you sign your new book for me, Iris? |
| 00:54:07 |
Like postcards, do it at once or you don't. |
| 00:54:09 |
Please? |
| 00:54:47 |
I see an angel. |
| 00:54:50 |
I think it's you. |
| 00:55:02 |
We're undewater now. |
| 00:55:05 |
There are some drugs, aren't there, Iris? |
| 00:55:08 |
But they don't last long. |
| 00:55:10 |
And when the friendly fog disperses... |
| 00:55:14 |
...there yawns |
| 00:55:21 |
They're beautiful. |
| 00:55:24 |
Horrible, isn't it, puss? |
| 00:55:26 |
Horrible thing... |
| 00:55:30 |
...when you're there |
| 00:55:35 |
You can say anything you like as... |
| 00:55:37 |
...long as you make it sound like it's a joke. |
| 00:55:39 |
Oh, don't John, that's cruel. |
| 00:55:40 |
that's where you're wrong. |
| 00:55:41 |
It's not cruel, it's nothing... |
| 00:55:43 |
...because it's not understood. |
| 00:55:44 |
She's in her own world now. |
| 00:55:48 |
Which is perhaps what she's always wanted. |
| 00:56:00 |
Come on. Let's go in. |
| 00:56:38 |
When do we go? |
| 00:57:20 |
Chin up, John. |
| 00:57:27 |
Janet. |
| 00:57:29 |
Yes, puss. Yes. |
| 00:57:50 |
Going, going. No, I do go. |
| 00:57:54 |
Soon, we'll -- we'll go soon. |
| 00:57:59 |
Now... now. |
| 00:58:05 |
Who is it? Who is it? |
| 00:58:09 |
Hello, hello. |
| 00:58:11 |
Are you there? |
| 00:58:14 |
Where this? |
| 00:58:23 |
...soars enchanted... |
| 00:58:27 |
As I hear the sweet lark sing |
| 00:58:32 |
In the clear air of the day. |
| 00:58:33 |
How much is that doggy in the window? |
| 00:58:37 |
The one with the waggly tail |
| 00:58:41 |
How much is that doggy in the window? |
| 00:58:44 |
I do hope that doggy's for sale. |
| 00:58:57 |
Sing your mother's song. |
| 00:59:00 |
Sing your mother's song. |
| 00:59:03 |
All my soul's adoration. |
| 00:59:07 |
And I think he will hear me. |
| 00:59:11 |
...soars enchanted |
| 00:59:15 |
I hear the sweet lark sing... |
| 00:59:25 |
...of the day. |
| 00:59:28 |
It is this that gives my soul. |
| 00:59:32 |
All its joyous elation |
| 00:59:36 |
As I hear the sweet lark sing |
| 00:59:41 |
In the clear air... |
| 00:59:45 |
...of the day. |
| 00:59:48 |
Dear thoughts are in my mind |
| 00:59:54 |
And my soul soars enchanted. |
| 00:59:59 |
As I hear the sweet lark sing |
| 01:00:05 |
In the clear air of the day. |
| 01:00:11 |
For a tender beaming smile... |
| 01:00:15 |
...to my hope has been granted |
| 01:00:21 |
And tomorrow he shall hear... |
| 01:00:27 |
...all my fond heart can say |
| 01:00:34 |
As I hear the sweet lark sing... |
| 01:00:38 |
...in the... |
| 01:01:00 |
Come, gentlemen... |
| 01:01:02 |
...we shall have to do better than this. |
| 01:01:18 |
aren't you a bad cat? |
| 01:01:28 |
And tomorrow he shall hear... |
| 01:01:31 |
...all my fond heart can say |
| 01:01:37 |
Teletubbies! |
| 01:01:43 |
Morning. |
| 01:01:45 |
Morning. Oh thank you. |
| 01:01:47 |
-Okay. Bye. |
| 01:01:52 |
It's only the postman. |
| 01:01:58 |
Time for teletubbies -- Time for Teletubbies. |
| 01:01:59 |
Tinky winky Tinky Winky |
| 01:02:01 |
It's only the postman. |
| 01:02:07 |
It'sonlythepostman. |
| 01:02:11 |
It's only the postman. |
| 01:02:15 |
It's only the postman. |
| 01:02:47 |
Where have the Teletubbies gone? |
| 01:03:03 |
remember Proteus? |
| 01:03:05 |
-What about Proteus? |
| 01:03:07 |
You've got to keep hold of me |
| 01:03:10 |
Even thought he changed into... |
| 01:03:12 |
... a lion and a fish... |
| 01:03:14 |
...and a snake. |
| 01:03:58 |
I'm worried about the river, we swim. |
| 01:04:05 |
You never know, sir. |
| 01:04:32 |
I have, of course, |
| 01:04:57 |
Everything you do... |
| 01:04:59 |
...everything you say, write... |
| 01:05:04 |
...you do it superbly. |
| 01:05:06 |
And you're always going to, all your life... |
| 01:05:09 |
...whatever you turn your hand to. I know it. |
| 01:05:14 |
And I know you must feel |
| 01:05:19 |
I don't. |
| 01:06:22 |
Between the soup and the baked beans. |
| 01:06:24 |
Thank you so much. |
| 01:06:26 |
I caught her before she got to the check-out. |
| 01:06:28 |
She's been gone for hours... |
| 01:06:30 |
..I thought I'd never see her again. Never. |
| 01:06:33 |
Well... all's well that... |
| 01:06:35 |
Please do, tell me your name? |
| 01:06:39 |
I'm Maurice, John. |
| 01:06:43 |
Iris' friend. |
| 01:06:45 |
I was a witness at your wedding. |
| 01:06:50 |
Well, I'm late for a meeting. |
| 01:06:52 |
-Maurice, so sorry... |
| 01:07:28 |
Were you trying to get away from me? |
| 01:07:32 |
Did you want to leave me, Iris? |
| 01:07:38 |
Please? |
| 01:07:54 |
I feel as if I don't know anything about you. |
| 01:07:58 |
When you know |
| 01:08:00 |
He's a Professor of Ancient History.. |
| 01:08:02 |
They have a maling influence on you I think. |
| 01:08:04 |
They all have, all your 'friends'. |
| 01:08:05 |
He's a teacher, a master of thought. |
| 01:08:08 |
You talk, do you. You master thoughts together? |
| 01:08:11 |
We make love, yes, |
| 01:08:13 |
Then he goes home to his wife in London. |
| 01:08:15 |
Does it frighten you? |
| 01:08:17 |
I feel as if I'm standing in a long line of suitors... |
| 01:08:21 |
...waiting for a kind word. |
| 01:08:23 |
I'll always give you a kind word. |
| 01:08:25 |
We must accept me as I am. |
| 01:08:27 |
And I'm to be kept in my box or not kept at all. |
| 01:08:30 |
Nothing matters except... |
| 01:08:34 |
...loving what is good. |
| 01:08:35 |
Am I good? |
| 01:08:39 |
Just... |
| 01:08:41 |
...keep tight hold of me and it'll be all right. |
| 01:08:50 |
Who are you with now, Iris? |
| 01:08:53 |
Who is it? |
| 01:08:59 |
We're lost. |
| 01:09:04 |
We're lost. We're lost... |
| 01:09:16 |
There is no reason for this. |
| 01:09:18 |
And if there is I don't know it. |
| 01:09:20 |
I hate you Iris. You stupid cow. |
| 01:09:24 |
I bloody loathe you. |
| 01:09:26 |
Every bloody inch of you. |
| 01:09:29 |
All your friends have finished with you. |
| 01:09:32 |
Nobody else has you anymore... |
| 01:09:35 |
...except your fucking best friend |
| 01:09:40 |
...with all his fucking gifts. |
| 01:09:43 |
I've got you now and I don't want you. |
| 01:09:47 |
I've never known anything about you at all... |
| 01:09:50 |
...and now I don't care. |
| 01:10:01 |
I think it's time I told you about... |
| 01:10:02 |
...some of my friends... |
| 01:10:04 |
...the people in my past -- of my heart and... |
| 01:10:08 |
...and not. |
| 01:10:11 |
Oh dear. |
| 01:10:20 |
ought I to take notes? |
| 01:10:29 |
There was a friend who was a student with me. |
| 01:10:33 |
No, no, he can wait. |
| 01:10:37 |
He was not the first person I went to bed with... |
| 01:10:40 |
...that was Harry.. |
| 01:10:43 |
then there was Roger, |
| 01:10:46 |
And Oscar |
| 01:10:50 |
...and Tom... |
| 01:10:53 |
...who far too clearly could but... |
| 01:10:58 |
So, the student friend |
| 01:11:03 |
...joined the Army during the war.... |
| 01:11:04 |
...and promptly asked me to marry him for... |
| 01:11:07 |
...he was certain he was going to be killed... |
| 01:11:09 |
..and wanted me to have the window's pension. |
| 01:11:13 |
Yes, I know they all said that. |
| 01:11:16 |
Anyway... |
| 01:11:18 |
...I didn't want to marry him... |
| 01:11:22 |
...but I did go to bed with him. |
| 01:11:24 |
...I thought that best before |
| 01:11:34 |
...anyway, he, he was killed-- |
| 01:11:36 |
--my student friend... |
| 01:11:40 |
...and we weren't married. |
| 01:11:44 |
So no pension. |
| 01:11:53 |
there. |
| 01:11:55 |
It wouldn't have been much anyway... |
| 01:11:56 |
I know, because I had friends killed. |
| 01:11:58 |
Their wives got very little, they get very little. |
| 01:12:05 |
Is that all? I mean, roughly? |
| 01:12:09 |
What about the 'friends' in your other world? |
| 01:12:13 |
You know more about me than anyone on earth. |
| 01:12:19 |
You are my world. |
| 01:12:42 |
Thank you. |
| 01:12:45 |
After all that I rather hoped it might be time... |
| 01:12:47 |
...for me to get my kind word. |
| 01:12:56 |
You don't need to do it on your own. |
| 01:12:59 |
You're exhausted, you know that. |
| 01:13:01 |
Of course I am. It's something that we share. |
| 01:13:03 |
We're in a state of grace. |
| 01:13:06 |
I think we understand each other. |
| 01:13:09 |
What do you think? |
| 01:13:11 |
I don'tknow. There's always help if you need it. |
| 01:13:16 |
There isn't any help for her. |
| 01:13:22 |
What? |
| 01:13:24 |
Sorry? Sorry? |
| 01:13:27 |
Nothing. |
| 01:13:37 |
Why has Willie Thorne |
| 01:13:39 |
I don't know, why has Willie Thorne |
| 01:13:42 |
Cos from a distance they look like hares. |
| 01:13:49 |
Janet's dead, Iris. |
| 01:13:55 |
They want me to say a few words |
| 01:13:58 |
Janet's dead, Iris. |
| 01:14:11 |
I miss Janet very much. |
| 01:14:16 |
I miss Janet because I used to store up... |
| 01:14:21 |
...funny things to tell her that happened to us. |
| 01:14:25 |
...things I can no longer tell Iris. |
| 01:14:28 |
Another friend visited us... |
| 01:14:31 |
...in Oxford overnight recently.... |
| 01:14:33 |
...and I found her cleaning the bath. |
| 01:14:36 |
I said, "Oh, please, there's no need". |
| 01:14:39 |
She said, "Oh yes there is, |
| 01:14:47 |
I was hoping to be able... |
| 01:14:49 |
...to tell Janet that story... |
| 01:14:51 |
...she would have enjoyed it. |
| 01:14:54 |
She would have...laughed. |
| 01:14:59 |
I mean, I think... |
| 01:15:06 |
...Anna Karenina, Tolstoy, you know... |
| 01:15:09 |
...when on her way to the station |
| 01:15:14 |
...sees something funny |
| 01:15:17 |
...her lover, about... |
| 01:15:18 |
...we all do it, I do it with Iris... |
| 01:15:21 |
...and Janet, all our friends... |
| 01:15:23 |
...but, then Anna thought that |
| 01:15:29 |
...because she was about to kill herself. |
| 01:15:35 |
Oh, but, you don't want to hear this... |
| 01:15:40 |
...Janet didn't kill herself... |
| 01:15:46 |
But, if there's one thing |
| 01:15:52 |
...Anna from throwing herself under a train... |
| 01:15:55 |
...that would be it, |
| 01:16:02 |
...to the man she loves. |
| 01:16:08 |
The love is over... |
| 01:16:14 |
...though... |
| 01:16:20 |
...life will... |
| 01:16:23 |
...soon be over. |
| 01:16:27 |
That's all. |
| 01:16:30 |
Goodbye, Janet. |
| 01:16:32 |
No, no, Janet. Jan! |
| 01:16:35 |
It's all right, Iris. |
| 01:16:49 |
Wrong, wrong, wrong. |
| 01:16:50 |
-Wrong driving. |
| 01:16:51 |
Wrong driving! |
| 01:16:53 |
No. Stop it, Iris. |
| 01:16:54 |
-Not house. Not mother.. |
| 01:16:58 |
Them! Them! |
| 01:17:05 |
Iris! |
| 01:17:12 |
Puss. |
| 01:17:16 |
My old mouse -- My old cat mouse. |
| 01:17:19 |
Where are you? |
| 01:17:48 |
I... |
| 01:17:53 |
...love... |
| 01:17:57 |
...you. |
| 01:18:00 |
Ah, little mouse. I know you do. |
| 01:18:21 |
I used to be... |
| 01:18:23 |
...so afraid of being alone with you... |
| 01:18:27 |
...now I can't be without you. |
| 01:18:38 |
Let's get us -- home... |
| 01:18:42 |
...and then there'll be tomorrow... |
| 01:18:46 |
...and the nex tday... |
| 01:18:49 |
...and the next... |
| 01:18:51 |
...and on we go... |
| 01:18:54 |
...getting closer and closest together... |
| 01:19:01 |
Oh, your ring. |
| 01:19:04 |
It's so worn now. |
| 01:19:05 |
Where did you get it? |
| 01:19:06 |
From a pawnbrokers. |
| 01:19:09 |
I like things that are worn down. |
| 01:19:13 |
Which wear and wear and wear... |
| 01:19:18 |
...until they go. |
| 01:19:37 |
We've had a bit of luck. |
| 01:19:39 |
Usual thing, I'm afraid -- Somebody's died. |
| 01:19:44 |
Iris... |
| 01:19:46 |
...don't you have a smile for Doctor Gudgeon? |
| 01:19:50 |
No? |
| 01:19:54 |
No. |
| 01:19:56 |
So -- the time has come. |
| 01:20:01 |
You know it would, Professor Bayley. |
| 01:20:04 |
Yes. |
| 01:20:06 |
She didn't have a smile for you today. |
| 01:20:09 |
Yes. Well, we must make a start. |
| 01:20:14 |
-What do I do? |
| 01:20:19 |
Vale House is a very friendly place, you know. |
| 01:20:23 |
I was, surpr.... |
| 01:20:26 |
...I mean, this is one of the best. |
| 01:20:30 |
More difficult to get into than...well, Eton. |
| 01:21:14 |
-Taxi for Vale House? |
| 01:21:18 |
Lady's on the stairs, but I can't get her down. |
| 01:21:22 |
Shall I? |
| 01:21:29 |
You all right, my love? |
| 01:21:34 |
We're going for a little drive. |
| 01:21:38 |
What's your name then? |
| 01:21:44 |
Iris. |
| 01:21:47 |
Yes, it's Iris. |
| 01:21:50 |
All right then, Iris... |
| 01:21:53 |
...you'll be all right, my love, come on. |
| 01:21:54 |
Come on, upsy-daisy. |
| 01:22:02 |
There you go. |
| 01:22:04 |
Lovely. |
| 01:22:32 |
Human beings love each... |
| 01:22:35 |
...in sex -- in friendship... |
| 01:22:38 |
...and when they're in love. |
| 01:22:41 |
And they cherish other beings... |
| 01:22:43 |
...humans -- animals, plants... |
| 01:22:48 |
...even stones. |
| 01:22:50 |
She'll be fine now, won't you Iris? |
| 01:22:55 |
You can visit any time you like... |
| 01:22:57 |
...come all day if you want to. |
| 01:23:03 |
Stay the night, that's all right... |
| 01:23:06 |
...we can make arrangements |
| 01:24:04 |
It was so quiet... |
| 01:24:09 |
...when she died. |
| 01:24:13 |
Do you know, |
| 01:24:19 |
I had a joke to tell her. |
| 01:24:25 |
It wasn't a very good one |
| 01:24:31 |
We need to believe in something divine. |
| 01:24:33 |
Without the need for God. |
| 01:24:36 |
Something we might call love... |
| 01:24:39 |
...or goodness. |
| 01:24:41 |
As the psalm says... |
| 01:24:44 |
..."Whither shall I go from thy spirit... |
| 01:24:47 |
...whither shall I flee from thy presence? |
| 01:24:50 |
If I ascend unto Heaven thou art there... |
| 01:24:53 |
...if I make my bed in Hell behold thou art there. |
| 01:24:58 |
If I take the wings of the morning... |
| 01:25:00 |
...and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea... |
| 01:25:03 |
...even there shall thy hand lead me... |
| 01:25:06 |
...and thy right hand shall hold me." |
