Lady Windermere s Fan en
00:01:07	Is your ladyship at home this afternoon?
00:01:10	Yes
00:01:11	Lord Darlington,
00:01:14	Show him up...
00:01:17	Yes,
00:01:31	Lord Darlington.
00:01:32	How do you do,
00:01:34	How do you do,
00:01:35	No, I can't
00:01:36	My hands are all wet with these roses.
00:01:40	They came up from Selby
00:01:42	They are quite perfect.
00:01:43	And what a wonderful fan!
00:01:46	Do.
00:01:48	Pretty,
00:01:49	It's got my name on it,
00:01:51	I have only just seen it myself.
00:01:53	It's my husband's birthday
00:01:57	You know to-day is my birthday?
00:01:58	No?
00:02:00	Yes,
00:02:03	Quite an important day
00:02:05	That is why
00:02:06	I wish I had known it was your birthday,
00:02:08	I would have covered the whole street
00:02:10	in front of your house with flowers
00:02:12	They are
00:02:15	Lord Darlington, you annoyed me last night
00:02:18	I am afraid you are going to annoy me again.
00:02:21	I, Lady Windermere?
00:02:22	Put it there,
00:02:33	That will do.
00:02:39	Won't you come over,
00:02:40	I am quite miserable,
00:02:43	You must tell me what I did.
00:02:45	Well,
00:02:46	you kept paying me elaborate compliments
00:02:49	Ah, now it is.
00:02:50	We are all of us so hard up,
00:02:52	that the only pleasant things to pay
00:02:54	They're the only things
00:02:56	No,
00:02:58	You mustn't laugh,
00:03:01	I don't like
00:03:03	and I don't see
00:03:05	why a man should think he is pleasing
00:03:08	when he says to her a whole heap of things
00:03:12	Ah,
00:03:13	I hope not.
00:03:16	I should be sorry
00:03:17	to have to quarrel with you,
00:03:19	I like you very much,
00:03:22	But I shouldn't like you
00:03:23	if I thought you
00:03:26	Believe me,
00:03:28	and I sometimes think
00:03:32	We all have our little vanities,
00:03:34	Why do you make that
00:03:36	Oh, nowadays so many
00:03:38	go about Society
00:03:40	that I think it shows rather a sweet
00:03:44	Besides,
00:03:46	If you pretend to be good,
00:03:50	If you pretend to be bad,
00:03:52	Such is the astounding stupidity
00:03:55	Don't you WANT the world
00:03:56	to take you seriously then,
00:03:58	No,
00:04:01	Who are the people
00:04:03	All the dull people one can think of,
00:04:09	I should like YOU to take me very seriously,
00:04:12	YOU more than any one else in life.
00:04:14	Why... why me?
00:04:18	Because I think we
00:04:20	Let us be great friends.
00:04:23	You may want a
00:04:25	Why do you say that?
00:04:27	Oh! ...we all want friends at times.
00:04:29	I think we're very good friends already,
00:04:33	We can always remain so
00:04:35	Don't what?
00:04:36	Don't spoil it
00:04:42	You think I am a Puritan, I suppose?
00:04:45	Well, I have
00:04:48	I was brought up like that.
00:04:50	I am
00:04:52	Lady Julia was stern to me,
00:04:54	but she taught me
00:04:56	the difference that there is
00:05:00	SHE allowed of no compromise.
00:05:03	_l_ allow of none.
00:05:04	My dear Lady Windermere!
00:05:06	You look on me as
00:05:09	Well, I am!
00:05:11	I should be sorry to be on the
00:05:14	You think the age very bad?
00:05:16	Yes.
00:05:18	Nowadays people seem to look on life
00:05:22	It is not a speculation.
00:05:24	It is a sacrament.
00:05:26	Its ideal
00:05:28	Its purification is sacrifice.
00:05:31	Oh, anything is better than being
00:05:34	Don't say that.
00:05:35	I do say it. I feel it... I know it.
00:05:40	The men want to know
00:05:41	if they are to put the carpets on the
00:05:44	You don't think it will rain,
00:05:46	I won't hear of its raining
00:05:49	Tell them to do it at once, Parker.
00:05:55	Do you think then
00:05:57	- of course I
00:06:01	do you think that in the
00:06:03	say about two years married,
00:06:05	if the husband suddenly becomes
00:06:09	- well,
00:06:11	is always calling upon her,
00:06:14	and probably paying her bills...
00:06:17	do you think that the wife
00:06:21	Console herself?
00:06:23	Yes,
00:06:25	I think she should,
00:06:26	I think she has the right.
00:06:28	Because the husband is vile
00:06:30	- should the wife be vile also?
00:06:32	Vileness is a terrible word,
00:06:35	It is a terrible thing,
00:06:37	Do you know I am afraid
00:06:39	that good people
00:06:41	Certainly the greatest harm that they do
00:06:43	is that they make badness
00:06:47	It is absurd
00:06:50	People are either
00:06:54	I take the side of the charming,
00:06:56	and you, Lady Windermere,
00:06:59	Now,
00:07:02	Don't stir,
00:07:06	And I must say I
00:07:10	There is much against it, I admit.
00:07:12	Women, for instance,
00:07:15	Don't talk of such people.
00:07:16	Well then, setting mercenary people aside,
00:07:21	do you think seriously that women who have
00:07:25	should never be forgiven?
00:07:27	I think they should never
00:07:29	And men?
00:07:30	Do you think that there should be the
00:07:34	Certainly!
00:07:35	I think life far too complex a thing
00:07:37	to be settled by
00:07:40	If we had 'these hard and fast rules',
00:07:45	Ah, what a fascinating Puritan you are,
00:07:48	The adjective was unnecessary,
00:07:51	I couldn't help it.
00:07:52	I can resist everything
00:07:55	You have the modern affectation of weakness.
00:07:58	It's only an affectation, Lady
00:07:59	The Duchess of Berwick
00:08:03	Dear
00:08:06	You remember Agatha,
00:08:08	How do you do, Lord Darlington?
00:08:10	I won't let you know my daughter,
00:08:12	Don't say that, Duchess.
00:08:13	As a wicked man I am a
00:08:14	Why, there are lots of people
00:08:16	I have never really done anything wrong
00:08:19	Of course they only say it
00:08:21	Isn't he dreadful?
00:08:23	Agatha,
00:08:25	Mind you don't believe a word
00:08:27	No, no tea,
00:08:30	We have just had tea
00:08:32	Such bad tea,
00:08:35	It was quite undrinkable.
00:08:37	I wasn't at all
00:08:38	Her own son-in-law supplies it.
00:08:42	Agatha is looking forward so much
00:08:47	Oh, you mustn't think it is going
00:08:49	It is only a dance
00:08:52	A small and early.
00:08:53	Very small, very early,
00:08:56	Of course
00:08:58	But we know THAT,
00:09:01	It is really one of the few houses in London
00:09:05	and where I feel perfectly secure
00:09:09	I don't know
00:09:11	The most dreadful people seem to go
00:09:14	They certainly come to my parties
00:09:16	the men get quite
00:09:19	Really, some one should make
00:09:22	_l_ will,
00:09:23	I will have no one in my house
00:09:27	Oh, don't say that,
00:09:28	I should never be admitted!
00:09:30	Oh,
00:09:31	With women
00:09:33	We're good.
00:09:34	Some of us are,
00:09:36	But we are positively getting
00:09:39	Our husbands
00:09:41	if we didn't nag at them
00:09:43	just to remind them
00:09:47	It's a curious thing, Duchess,
00:09:48	about the game of marriage
00:09:50	- a game, by the way,
00:09:52	the wives hold all the honours,
00:09:55	and invariably lose the odd trick.
00:09:57	The odd trick?
00:09:58	Is that the husband,
00:10:00	It would be rather a good name
00:10:03	Dear Lord Darlington,
00:10:06	Lord Darlington is trivial.
00:10:08	Ah, don't say that,
00:10:09	Why do you TALK so trivially
00:10:12	Because I think
00:10:13	that life is far too important a thing
00:10:16	What does he mean?
00:10:19	Do, as a concession to my poor wits,
00:10:22	just explain to me
00:10:24	I think I had better not,
00:10:25	Nowadays to be intelligible
00:10:29	Good-bye!
00:10:30	And now Lady Windermere,
00:10:33	I may come to-night, mayn't I?
00:10:36	Yes, certainly.
00:10:37	But you are not to say foolish,
00:10:41	Ah! You are beginning to
00:10:43	It is a dangerous thing to reform any one,
00:10:54	What a charming,
00:10:56	I like him so much.
00:10:59	I'm quite delighted
00:11:01	How sweet
00:11:03	Where DO you get your gowns?
00:11:06	And now
00:11:06	I must tell you how sorry I am for you,
00:11:09	Agatha, darling!
00:11:11	Yes, mamma.
00:11:11	Will you go and look
00:11:14	that I see there?
00:11:15	Yes, mamma.
00:11:17	Dear girl!
00:11:18	She is so fond of photographs
00:11:21	Such a pure taste, I think.
00:11:24	But I really am so sorry
00:11:27	Why, Duchess?
00:11:28	Oh, on account
00:11:29	She dresses so well, too,
00:11:30	which makes it much worse, sets such a
00:11:34	Augustus
00:11:37	such a trial to us all
00:11:38	well, Augustus
00:11:41	It is quite scandalous, for she is
00:11:45	Many a woman has a past,
00:11:47	but I am told that she has
00:11:49	and that they all fit.
00:11:51	Whom are you talking about, Duchess?
00:11:54	About Mrs. Erlynne.
00:11:56	Mrs. Erlynne?
00:11:57	I never heard of her.
00:11:59	And what HAS she to do with me?
00:12:02	My poor child!
00:12:04	Agatha, darling!
00:12:05	Yes, mamma.
00:12:06	Will you go out on the terrace
00:12:09	Yes, mamma.
00:12:10	Sweet girl!
00:12:13	So devoted to sunsets!
00:12:14	Shows such refinement of feeling,
00:12:18	After all,
00:12:25	But what is it, Duchess?
00:12:27	Why do you talk to me
00:12:30	Don't you really know?
00:12:31	I assure you we're all
00:12:34	Only last night
00:12:37	every one was saying
00:12:37	how extraordinary it was
00:12:39	that, of all men in London,
00:12:41	Windermere should behave
00:12:42	My husband
00:12:43	what has HE got to do with any woman
00:12:46	Ah, what indeed,
00:12:48	That is the point.
00:12:50	He goes to see her continually,
00:12:52	and stops for hours at a time,
00:12:54	and while he is there.
00:12:55	She is not at home to any one
00:12:57	Not that many ladies call on her, dear,
00:12:59	but she has a great many disreputable
00:13:02	my own brother particularly,
00:13:03	as I told you
00:13:04	and that is
00:13:07	We looked upon HIM as
00:13:09	but I am afraid
00:13:11	My dear nieces
00:13:13	You know the Saville girls,
00:13:15	such nice
00:13:19	plain, dreadfully plain,
00:13:22	but so good
00:13:23	well, they're always at the window
00:13:26	and making ugly things
00:13:28	which I think so useful of them in these
00:13:31	and this terrible woman has taken a house
00:13:35	right opposite them
00:13:36	such a respectable street, too!
00:13:38	I don't know what
00:13:40	And they tell me
00:13:41	that Windermere goes there
00:13:45	they SEE
00:13:46	They can't help it
00:13:47	and although they never talk scandal,
00:13:49	they
00:13:51	they remark on it to every one.
00:13:52	And the worst of it all
00:13:55	that this woman has got
00:13:57	for it seems that she came to London
00:13:59	six months ago without anything at all
00:14:01	and now
00:14:05	drives her ponies in the
00:14:08	and all-
00:14:09	- well,
00:14:10	all since she has known
00:14:15	Oh, I can't believe it!
00:14:17	But it's quite true, my dear.
00:14:19	The whole of London knows it.
00:14:20	That is why I thought it was better to come
00:14:24	and advise you to take Windermere
00:14:26	to Homburg or to Aix,
00:14:28	where he'll have something to amuse him,
00:14:30	and you
00:14:32	I assure you, my dear,
00:14:34	that on several occasions
00:14:37	I had to pretend
00:14:39	and was obliged to drink
00:14:43	merely to get Berwick out of town.
00:14:45	He was so
00:14:49	Though I am bound to say he never gave away
00:14:53	He is far too high-principled for that!
00:14:55	Duchess,
00:14:56	Duchess,
00:14:59	We are only married
00:15:01	Our child is but six months old.
00:15:03	Ah, the dear pretty little baby!
00:15:07	Is it a boy or a girl?
00:15:09	I do hope a girl
00:15:12	Ah, no, I remember
00:15:14	I'm so sorry.
00:15:16	Boys are so wicked.
00:15:18	My boy is
00:15:20	You wouldn't believe
00:15:22	And he's only left Oxford
00:15:24	I really don't know
00:15:26	Are ALL men bad?
00:15:27	Oh, all of them, my dear, all of them,
00:15:31	And they never get any better.
00:15:32	Men become old,
00:15:35	Windermere and I
00:15:39	Yes,
00:15:42	It was only Berwick's
00:15:47	that made me accept him at all,
00:15:48	and before the year was out,
00:15:50	he was running
00:15:52	every shape,
00:15:53	every colour,
00:15:54	every material.
00:15:55	In fact,
00:15:57	I caught him
00:15:58	a most pretty,
00:16:01	I dismissed her at once
00:16:02	No,
00:16:05	I passed her
00:16:07	poor dear Sir George is so short-sighted,
00:16:12	But it did, though-
00:16:13	it was most unfortunate.
00:16:16	And now, my dear child,
00:16:17	I must go, as we are dining out.
00:16:19	And mind you don't take
00:16:21	this little aberration of Windermere's
00:16:24	Just take him abroad,
00:16:26	Come back to me?
00:16:28	Yes, dear, these wicked women
00:16:31	but they always come back,
00:16:36	And don't make scenes,
00:16:38	men hate them!
00:16:40	It is very kind of you, Duchess,
00:16:44	But I can't believe
00:16:47	Pretty child!
00:16:49	Now I know
00:16:52	The only thing to do
00:16:55	A good cook
00:16:56	and that I know you have.
00:16:59	My dear Margaret,
00:17:02	You needn't be afraid, Duchess,
00:17:05	That's quite right,
00:17:07	Crying is the refuge
00:17:09	but the ruin of pretty ones.
00:17:16	Agatha, darling!
00:17:17	Yes, mamma.
00:17:19	Come and bid good-bye
00:17:21	and thank her
00:17:25	Oh, by the way,
00:17:26	thank you for sending a card
00:17:28	he's that rich
00:17:31	people are taking such notice
00:17:33	His father made a great fortune
00:17:35	by selling some kind of
00:17:38	- most palatable,
00:17:40	I fancy it is the thing the servants
00:17:43	But the son is quite
00:17:46	I think he's attracted
00:17:49	Of course,
00:17:51	but I think
00:17:52	that a mother who doesn't part
00:17:55	has no real affection.
00:17:57	We're coming to-night,
00:18:00	And remember my advice,
00:18:02	take the poor fellow
00:18:05	it is the only thing to do.
00:18:07	Good-bye,
00:18:09	come,
00:18:17	But it is quite true,
00:18:19	The all of London knows it.
00:18:20	Did you think then
00:18:23	say, about two year married,
00:18:24	if the husband suddenly becomes
00:18:27	of a woman, of a, well,
00:18:31	is always calling upon
00:18:35	We looked upon him as being
00:18:38	Well,
00:18:45	No,
00:18:49	Some silly scandal!
00:18:52	He loves ME!
00:18:54	He loves
00:19:05	I am his wife,
00:21:00	Has the fan been sent home yet?
00:21:14	Cut open my bank book.
00:21:16	You have no right
00:21:19	You think it wrong that you are found out,
00:21:22	I think it wrong that a wife should spy
00:21:28	I did not spy on you.
00:21:30	I never knew of this
00:21:33	Some one who pitied me
00:21:36	was kind enough to tell me
00:21:40	your daily visits to Curzon Street,
00:21:43	your mad infatuation,
00:21:45	the monstrous sums of money
00:21:48	on this infamous woman!
00:21:49	Margaret! Don't talk like that
00:21:52	you don't know
00:21:54	You are very jealous
00:21:56	I wish you had been as jealous
00:21:59	Your honour is untouched.
00:22:01	You don't think that I
00:22:02	I think
00:22:02	that you spend your money strangely.
00:22:06	Oh, don't imagine I mind
00:22:10	As far as I am concerned,
00:22:15	But what I DO mind
00:22:18	is that you
00:22:20	you who have taught me
00:22:23	should pass
00:22:26	to the love that is
00:22:29	Oh,
00:22:32	And it is I
00:22:36	YOU don't feel anything.
00:22:39	I feel stained,
00:22:42	utterly stained.
00:22:44	You can't realise how hideous
00:22:50	every kiss you have given me
00:22:54	Don't say that.
00:22:55	I never loved any one
00:23:00	Who is this woman,
00:23:02	Why do you
00:23:03	I did not take a house for her.
00:23:05	You gave her the money to do it,
00:23:09	Margaret,
00:23:12	Is there a Mr. Erlynne
00:23:15	He died many years ago.
00:23:17	She is alone
00:23:18	No relations?
00:23:20	None.
00:23:21	Rather curious,
00:23:25	Margaret,
00:23:29	she has conducted herself well.
00:23:31	If years ago -
00:23:32	Oh! I don't want details
00:23:34	I am not going to give you details.
00:23:37	I tell you simply this
00:23:40	Mrs. Erlynne was once
00:23:43	She was well born,
00:23:46	she lost everything
00:23:47	threw it away,
00:23:49	That makes it all
00:23:56	Margaret,
00:23:58	they come from outside,
00:24:02	But to suffer for one's own faults
00:24:05	- there is the sting of life.
00:24:09	It was twenty years ago,
00:24:10	She was little more than a girl.
00:24:13	She had been a wife for even
00:24:15	I am not interested in her
00:24:17	and you should not mention
00:24:20	It is an error of taste.
00:24:23	Margaret,
00:24:24	She wants to get back into society,
00:24:29	Me!
00:24:31	Yes, you.
00:24:33	How impertinent of her!
00:24:37	Margaret,
00:24:38	and I still ask it of you.
00:24:41	I want you to send Mrs. Erlynne
00:24:47	You are mad!
00:24:48	I entreat you.
00:24:52	Margaret...
00:24:54	People may chatter...
00:25:00	do chatter about her,
00:25:02	but they don't know anything
00:25:06	She has been to several houses
00:25:08	- not to houses where you would go,
00:25:10	but still to houses where women
00:25:12	who are in what is nowadays called Society
00:25:15	That does not content her.
00:25:17	She wants you to receive her once.
00:25:19	As a triumph for her,
00:25:22	No; but because she knows
00:25:26	she knows that if she comes here once
00:25:28	she will have a chance of a surer
00:25:33	She will make no further
00:25:38	Margaret... won't you help a woman
00:25:41	No!
00:25:42	If a woman really repents,
00:25:44	she never wishes to return to the society
00:25:48	I beg you.
00:25:49	I am going to dress
00:25:50	and don't mention the subject again
00:25:52	Margaret...
00:25:53	Arthur!
00:25:54	You fancy because I have no
00:25:56	that I am alone in this world,
00:26:00	You are wrong,
00:26:01	I have friends,
00:26:04	You are talking foolishly,
00:26:06	I won't argue with you,
00:26:08	but I insist upon your asking
00:26:11	I shall do nothing of the kind.
00:26:13	You refuse?
00:26:15	Absolutely!
00:26:20	Ah, Margaret,
00:26:22	do this for my sake;
00:26:25	it is her last chance.
00:26:27	What has that to do with me?
00:26:31	How hard good women are!
00:26:33	How weak bad men are!
00:26:37	None of us men may be good enough
00:26:39	- that is quite true...
00:26:42	you don't imagine I
00:26:48	the suggestion is quite monstrous!
00:26:50	Why should YOU be different
00:26:53	I am told that
00:26:56	who does not waste his life over
00:26:59	I am not one of them.
00:27:01	I am not sure of that!
00:27:03	You are sure
00:27:09	Margaret, don't make chasm
00:27:13	God knows the last few minutes
00:27:14	have thrust us wide enough apart.
00:27:24	Sit down and write the card.
00:27:28	Nothing in the whole world
00:27:33	Then I will!
00:27:35	You are going
00:27:37	Yes.
00:27:52	Parker!
00:27:53	Yes, my lord.
00:27:56	I want this note sent to Mrs. Erlynne
00:28:10	There is no answer!
00:28:19	Arthur,
00:28:21	if that woman comes here,
00:28:24	I shall insult her.
00:28:26	Margaret,
00:28:27	I mean it.
00:28:29	Child,
00:28:30	there's not a woman in London
00:28:32	There is not a GOOD woman in London
00:28:36	We have been too lax.
00:28:38	We must make an example.
00:28:42	I propose
00:28:46	You gave me
00:28:48	it was your birthday present to me.
00:28:51	If that woman
00:28:53	I shall strike her
00:28:56	You couldn't.
00:28:58	You won't do such a thing!
00:28:59	You don't know me!
00:29:02	Parker!
00:29:03	Yes, my lady.
00:29:03	I shall dine in my own room
00:29:05	I don't want dinner,
00:29:06	See that everything is ready
00:29:09	And, Parker,
00:29:10	be sure to pronounce
00:29:12	very distinctly to-night.
00:29:14	Sometimes you speak so fast
00:29:17	I am particularly anxious
00:29:21	so as to make no mistake.
00:29:23	You understand,
00:29:24	Yes,
00:29:25	That will do!
00:29:33	Arthur...
00:29:34	Margaret,
00:29:36	Us!
00:29:39	From this moment
00:29:45	But if you wish to avoid
00:29:49	write at once
00:29:50	and tell her that I forbid her
00:29:52	I will not
00:29:56	- I cannot...
00:30:01	she must come here tonight!
00:30:05	Then I shall do
00:30:07	You leave me no choice.
00:30:18	Margaret!
00:30:50	So strange
00:30:54	Mr. Hopper is very late,
00:30:57	You have kept those five dances
00:31:00	Yes, mamma.
00:31:01	Just let me see your card.
00:31:03	I'm so glad Lady Windermere
00:31:06	They're a mother's
00:31:09	Oh, you dear simple little thing!
00:31:11	No nice girl should ever waltz
00:31:14	with such particularly
00:31:16	It looks so fast!
00:31:20	You might pass the last two dances
00:31:25	Yes, mamma.
00:31:26	The air
00:31:29	Lady Stutfield.
00:31:31	Sir James Royston.
00:31:36	Mrs. Cowper-Cowper.
00:31:38	Ah, good evening,
00:31:40	I suppose this will be
00:31:44	I suppose so,
00:31:45	It's been a delightful season,
00:31:49	Quite delightful!
00:31:53	Good evening,
00:31:55	I suppose this will be
00:31:58	I suppose so,
00:31:59	It has been a very
00:32:02	Oh, dreadfully dull!
00:32:04	Good evening,
00:32:05	I suppose this will be
00:32:09	I think not.
00:32:10	There'll probably be at least
00:32:13	Mr. Rufford.
00:32:14	Lady Jedburgh and Miss Graham.
00:32:18	Mr. Hopper.
00:32:22	How do you do,
00:32:27	How do you do,
00:32:28	Dear Mr. Hopper,
00:32:30	how nice of you
00:32:31	We all know how you are run after
00:32:34	Oh, capital place,
00:32:36	They are not nearly so exclusive
00:32:40	Ah! We know your value,
00:32:42	We wish
00:32:44	It would make life
00:32:47	Do you know,
00:32:49	dear Agatha and I
00:32:52	It must be so pretty
00:32:54	with all the dear little kangaroos
00:32:57	Agatha has found it
00:33:00	What a curious
00:33:02	Just like a large packing case.
00:33:03	However, it is
00:33:08	Wasn't it made at the same time
00:33:11	How clever you are,
00:33:13	You have a cleverness
00:33:15	Now I mustn't keep you.
00:33:17	But I should like to dance
00:33:21	She has a dance left.
00:33:23	Have you a dance left,
00:33:27	Yes, mamma.
00:33:29	The next one?
00:33:30	Yes, mamma.
00:33:32	May I have the pleasure?
00:33:33	Mind you take great care
00:33:51	Margaret,
00:33:53	In a moment.
00:33:56	Lord Augustus Lorton.
00:33:59	Good evening,
00:34:01	Sir James,
00:34:04	Augustus has been dining with us
00:34:06	I really have had quite enough of Augustus
00:34:09	Mr. And Mrs. Arthur Bowden.
00:34:12	Lord and Lady Paisley.
00:34:18	Lord Darlington.
00:34:27	Want to speak
00:34:30	I'm worn to a shadow.
00:34:32	Know I don't look it.
00:34:34	None of us men do look
00:34:37	Demmed good thing,
00:34:39	What I want to know
00:34:41	Who is she?
00:34:42	Where does she
00:34:43	Why hasn't she got
00:34:46	Demmed nuisance,
00:34:48	But they make one
00:34:51	You are talking of Mrs. Erlynne,
00:34:54	I've only known her
00:34:56	Till then,
00:34:58	You have seen a good deal of her
00:35:00	Yes, I have seen a good deal of her
00:35:03	I have just seen her.
00:35:04	Egad!
00:35:05	I have been dining
00:35:09	You should have heard
00:35:10	She didn't leave a rag on her.
00:35:12	Berwick and I told her
00:35:14	as the lady in question must have
00:35:17	You should have seen
00:35:19	But, look here,
00:35:21	I don't know what to do about Mrs. Erlynne.
00:35:23	I might
00:35:24	she treats me with such
00:35:28	She's deuced clever,
00:35:30	She explains you.
00:35:31	She has got any amount
00:35:33	all of them different.
00:35:34	No explanations are necessary
00:35:40	Hem! Well, look here,
00:35:43	Do you think she will ever get into this
00:35:48	Would you introduce her
00:35:50	No point in beating about the
00:35:52	Would you do that?
00:35:53	Tuppy,
00:35:55	Your wife has sent her a card?
00:35:57	Mrs. Erlynne has received a card.
00:36:00	Then she's all right,
00:36:02	But why didn't you
00:36:03	It would have saved me a heap of worry
00:36:08	Mr. Cecil Graham!
00:36:12	Good evening,
00:36:15	Why don't you
00:36:17	I like people to ask me
00:36:19	It shows
00:36:23	Now, to-night I am not
00:36:25	Been dining with my people.
00:36:28	Wonder why it is one's people are always
00:36:31	My father would talk morality
00:36:36	I told him he was old enough
00:36:38	But,
00:36:39	my experience is that as soon as people
00:36:43	then they don't know anything at all.
00:36:45	Hallo,
00:36:47	You're going to be
00:36:49	I thought you were tired
00:36:51	You're excessively trivial, my dear boy,
00:36:54	By the way, Tuppy,
00:36:56	Have you been twice
00:37:00	is it twice divorced
00:37:03	I say it's
00:37:06	Sounds so much
00:37:08	I have a very bad memory.
00:37:13	Lord Windermere,
00:37:16	If you will excuse me, Lady Plymdale,
00:37:19	Oh, you mustn't dream of such a thing.
00:37:22	It's most dangerous nowadays
00:37:24	for a husband to pay any attention
00:37:26	It always makes people think
00:37:30	The world has grown so suspicious
00:37:32	of anything that looks like
00:37:36	But I'll tell you what it is
00:37:40	Margaret!
00:37:42	Lord Darlington,
00:37:46	Thanks.
00:37:49	What you said before dinner...
00:37:50	That woman is not coming here
00:37:52	Mrs. Erlynne is coming here,
00:37:54	and if you in any way wound
00:37:58	you will bring shame and sorrow
00:38:01	Remember that!
00:38:05	Ah, Margaret!
00:38:07	A wife should
00:38:10	London is full of women
00:38:13	One can always recognise them.
00:38:15	They look so
00:38:17	I am not going to be one of them.
00:38:20	Lord Darlington,
00:38:22	Thanks...
00:38:24	A useful thing a fan,
00:38:27	I want a friend to-night,
00:38:29	I didn't know I would want one
00:38:31	Lady Windermere!
00:38:32	I knew the time would come some day;
00:38:35	Margaret
00:38:36	Mrs. Erlynne!
00:39:10	You have dropped your fan,
00:39:14	How do you do, again,
00:39:16	How charming your sweet wife looks!
00:39:18	Quite a picture!
00:39:23	It was terribly rash of you
00:39:26	The wisest thing
00:39:28	And, by the way, you must pay me
00:39:31	I am afraid of the women.
00:39:33	You must introduce me
00:39:34	The men
00:39:37	How do you do,
00:39:42	You have quite neglected me lately.
00:39:44	I have not seen you
00:39:45	I am afraid you're faithless.
00:39:46	Every one told me so.
00:39:48	Now really, Mrs. Erlynne,
00:39:51	No, dear Lord Augustus,
00:39:54	It is your chief charm.
00:39:55	Ah! If you find charms in me,
00:39:59	allow me to say...
00:40:04	How pale you are!
00:40:06	Cowards are always pale!
00:40:09	You look faint.
00:40:11	Come out on the terrace.
00:40:15	Lady Windermere,
00:40:19	Reminds me of Prince Doria's
00:40:24	Oh, Mr. Graham,
00:40:26	Isn't that your aunt,
00:40:28	I should so much like to know her.
00:40:32	Certainly,
00:40:39	Aunt Caroline,
00:40:45	So pleased to meet you,
00:40:47	Your nephew and I are great friends.
00:40:50	I am so much interested
00:40:53	I think he's certain
00:40:56	He thinks like a Tory,
00:40:58	and that's so importand nowadays.
00:41:01	He's such a brilliant
00:41:03	But we all know
00:41:06	Lord Allandale was saying to me
00:41:09	that Mr. Graham talks
00:41:13	Most kind of you
00:41:17	Did you introduce Mrs. Erlynne
00:41:21	Had to,
00:41:22	Couldn't help it!
00:41:24	That woman can make one do
00:41:27	How,
00:41:30	Hope to goodness
00:41:33	On Thursday?
00:41:35	With great pleasure.
00:41:37	Goodby, my dear.
00:41:43	What a bore it is to have to be civil
00:41:47	But they always insist on it!
00:41:49	Who is that well-dressed woman
00:41:54	Haven't got the slightest idea!
00:41:56	Looks like an edition de luxe
00:41:59	meant specially
00:42:03	So that is poor Dumby
00:42:06	I hear
00:42:09	He doesn't seem anxious
00:42:12	I suppose he is afraid of her.
00:42:14	Those straw-coloured women
00:42:18	Do you know, I think I will
00:42:21	It will make Lord Augustus
00:42:28	Lord Augustus!
00:42:29	Lord Windermere insists
00:42:32	and, as it's his own house,
00:42:35	You know
00:42:37	I wish I could think so,
00:42:40	You know it far too well.
00:42:41	I can fancy a person dancing
00:42:44	and finding it charming.
00:42:46	Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:42:51	What a nice speech!
00:42:53	So simple
00:42:55	Just the sort of speech I like.
00:42:58	Well,
00:43:06	Oh, Mr. Dumby,
00:43:09	I am so sorry I have been out
00:43:12	Come and lunch
00:43:15	Delighted!
00:43:23	What an absolute brute
00:43:25	I never can believe a word you say!
00:43:28	Why did you tell me
00:43:31	What do you mean by calling on her
00:43:34	You are not to go to lunch there!
00:43:36	Of course
00:43:41	My dear Laura,
00:43:46	You haven't told me her name yet!
00:43:48	She's a Mrs. Erlynne.
00:43:49	That woman!
00:43:50	Yes;
00:43:53	Very interesting!
00:43:55	How intensely interesting!
00:43:57	I really must have a good stare
00:44:05	I have heard the most
00:44:08	They say she is ruining
00:44:10	And Lady Windermere,
00:44:12	who goes in for being so proper,
00:44:15	Oh, extremely amusing!
00:44:19	It takes a thoroughly good woman
00:44:21	to do a thoroughly stupid thing.
00:44:25	You are
00:44:29	Why?
00:44:30	Because,
00:44:35	He has been so attentive that he's
00:44:39	Now, this woman
00:44:41	He'll dance attendance upon her
00:44:44	as long as she lets him,
00:44:46	I assure you,
00:44:47	women of that kind
00:44:54	Her coming here is monstrous,
00:44:59	I know now what you meant at tea-time.
00:45:00	Why didn't you tell me right out?
00:45:02	You should have!
00:45:03	I couldn't!
00:45:03	A man can't tell these things
00:45:05	But if I had known
00:45:06	he was going to make you ask her
00:45:09	That insult, at any rate,
00:45:12	I did not ask her.
00:45:13	He insisted on her coming
00:45:15	- against my entreaties...
00:45:17	against my commands.
00:45:21	Oh! The house is
00:45:25	I feel that every woman here
00:45:27	sneers at me
00:45:32	What have I done
00:45:36	I gave him my all life.
00:45:39	He took it
00:45:40	- used it...
00:45:42	spoiled it!
00:45:45	I am degraded
00:45:48	I lack courage
00:45:49	- I am a coward!
00:45:50	If I know you at all,
00:45:51	I know that you can't live
00:45:54	What sort of life
00:45:56	You would feel that he was lying to you
00:45:59	You would feel that the look in his eyes
00:46:02	his voice false,
00:46:04	his touch false,
00:46:06	his passion
00:46:08	He would come to you
00:46:11	you would have to confort him.
00:46:13	He would come to you
00:46:16	you would have to charm him.
00:46:17	You would have to be to him
00:46:21	the cloak
00:46:24	You are right,
00:46:25	you are terribly right.
00:46:27	But where am I to turn to?
00:46:31	You said you would be my friend,
00:46:34	Tell me,
00:46:36	Be my friend now.
00:46:38	Between men and women
00:46:40	there is no friendship
00:46:43	There is passion,
00:46:44	enmity,
00:46:47	worship,
00:46:49	love,
00:46:52	but no friendship.
00:46:55	I love you
00:46:56	No, no!
00:46:57	Yes, I love you!
00:47:00	You are more to me
00:47:03	What does your husband give you?
00:47:04	Whatever is in him
00:47:07	whom he has thrust into your society,
00:47:09	into your home,
00:47:10	to shame you
00:47:12	I offer you my life.
00:47:15	Lord Darlington!
00:47:16	My life...
00:47:17	my whole life.
00:47:20	Take it,
00:47:22	and do with it
00:47:25	I love you...
00:47:30	I love you
00:47:31	more than I have never loved
00:47:35	From the moment I met you
00:47:37	loved you blindly,
00:47:40	adoringly, madly!
00:47:43	You did not know it then...
00:47:47	you know it
00:47:50	Leave this house to-night.
00:47:53	I won't tell you that the world
00:47:55	or the world's voice,
00:47:56	or the voice of society.
00:47:57	They matter a great deal.
00:47:58	They matter far too much.
00:47:59	But there are moments
00:48:02	between living
00:48:02	one's own life,
00:48:03	fully,
00:48:04	entirely,
00:48:05	completely...
00:48:06	or dragging out some false,
00:48:08	shallow,
00:48:08	degrading existence
00:48:10	that the world
00:48:10	in its hypocrisy demands.
00:48:13	You
00:48:17	Choose!
00:48:19	Oh, my love,
00:48:25	I have not the courage.
00:48:27	Yes;
00:48:30	you have the courage.
00:48:43	There may be six months of pain,
00:48:46	of disgrace even,
00:48:48	but when you no longer bear his name,
00:48:52	all will be well.
00:48:54	Margaret,
00:48:56	my wife
00:48:57	that shall be some day
00:48:59	- yes, my wife!
00:49:01	What are you now?
00:49:02	Nothing!
00:49:02	This woman has the place that
00:49:05	Oh! Go... go out of this house,
00:49:09	with a smile upon your lips,
00:49:10	with courage in your eyes.
00:49:12	All London will know why you did it;
00:49:14	and who will blame you?
00:49:15	If they do, what matter?
00:49:18	What is wrong?
00:49:19	It's wrong
00:49:20	for a man
00:49:21	to abandon his wife
00:49:23	It is wrong
00:49:24	for a wife
00:49:24	to remain with a man
00:49:28	You said once
00:49:30	that you would make
00:49:33	Make none now.
00:49:35	Be brave!
00:49:37	Be yourself!
00:49:42	I am afraid
00:49:44	Let me think!
00:49:45	Let me wait!
00:49:47	My husband may return to me.
00:49:52	Would you take him back?
00:49:57	You are not
00:49:58	You are just the same
00:50:00	You would stand everything
00:50:02	rather than face
00:50:04	whose praise you would despise.
00:50:07	In a week
00:50:07	you will be driving
00:50:09	She will be your constant guest
00:50:11	- your dearest friend.
00:50:12	You would endure anything
00:50:14	rather than break with one blow
00:50:19	You are right.
00:50:22	You have no courage;
00:50:24	none!
00:50:25	Ah, give me time to think.
00:50:28	I cannot answer you
00:50:29	It must be now
00:50:31	or not at all.
00:50:41	Then,
00:50:48	You break
00:50:51	my heart!
00:50:55	Mine is already broken.
00:51:02	To-morrow
00:51:04	I leave England.
00:51:10	This is the last time
00:51:12	I shall ever look upon you.
00:51:16	You will never see me again.
00:51:20	For one moment
00:51:24	- our souls touched.
00:51:28	They must never meet
00:51:32	or touch again.
00:51:36	Good-bye,
00:51:39	Margaret.
00:51:50	How alone I am in life!
00:51:54	How terribly alone!
00:52:05	Dear Margaret,
00:52:08	I've just been having
00:52:12	I am so sorry for the things I said
00:52:16	Of course, she must be all right
00:52:19	A most attractive woman,
00:52:21	and has such sensible
00:52:24	Told me she entirely disapproved
00:52:27	so I feel quite safe about poor Augustus.
00:52:31	Can't imagine why
00:52:33	It's those horrid nieces of mine
00:52:36	- always talking scandal.
00:52:40	Still,
00:52:40	I should go to Homburg, dear,
00:52:43	She is just a little
00:52:46	But where is Agatha?
00:52:47	Oh, there she is:
00:52:51	Mr. Hopper,
00:52:52	I am very, very angry
00:52:53	You have taken Agatha
00:52:55	and she is so delicate.
00:52:57	Awfully sorry,
00:52:59	We went out for a moment
00:53:00	and
00:53:02	Ah, about dear Australia,
00:53:06	Yes!
00:53:07	Agatha, darling!
00:53:09	Yes, mamma.
00:53:11	Did Mr. Hopper definitely -
00:53:13	Yes, mamma.
00:53:14	And what answer did you give him,
00:53:17	Yes, mamma.
00:53:19	My dear one!
00:53:20	You always
00:53:22	Mr. Hopper!
00:53:23	James!
00:53:24	Agatha has told me
00:53:26	How cleverly
00:53:29	You don't mind my taking Agatha off
00:53:31	To Australia?
00:53:33	Oh, don't mention
00:53:35	But
00:53:38	Did you say that, Agatha?
00:53:39	Yes, mamma.
00:53:40	Agatha, you say the most
00:53:45	I should think on the whole
00:53:47	would be a more
00:53:49	There are lots of vulgar people
00:53:52	but at any rate there are no
00:53:55	But we'll talk about that to-morrow.
00:53:57	James,
00:53:58	you can take Agatha down.
00:54:10	You'll come to lunch, of course,
00:54:12	At half-past one, instead of two.
00:54:14	The Duke will wish
00:54:17	I should like
00:54:19	He has not said a single word
00:54:21	I think you'll find he will have
00:54:33	And now good-night,
00:54:34	I'm afraid it's the old,
00:54:37	Love... well,
00:54:41	but love at the end of the season,
00:54:45	Good-night,
00:55:08	My dear Margaret,
00:55:10	what a handsome woman your
00:55:13	Oh!
00:55:15	Is she a great friend of yours?
00:55:17	No!
00:55:19	Really?
00:55:20	Good-night, dear.
00:55:24	Awful manners
00:55:26	Ah!
00:55:30	the worst
00:55:33	Sensible woman,
00:55:36	Lots of wives
00:55:38	would have objected to
00:55:39	But Lady Windermere has that
00:55:42	common sense.
00:55:44	And Windermere knows
00:55:48	as an indiscretion.
00:55:50	Yes;
00:55:51	dear Windermere is becoming almost modern.
00:55:54	Never thought
00:55:55	Good night,
00:55:57	What a fascinating woman
00:55:59	She is coming to lunch
00:56:01	won't you come too?
00:56:02	The Bishop and dear Lady Merton
00:56:05	I am afraid I am engaged,
00:56:08	So sorry.
00:56:11	Come.
00:56:30	Charming ball it has been!
00:56:33	Quite reminds me
00:56:35	And I see that there are just as many fools
00:56:38	as there used to be.
00:56:39	So pleased
00:56:42	The dear Duchess!
00:56:44	And that sweet
00:56:46	Just the type of girl I like!
00:56:48	Well, really,
00:56:50	if I am to be the Duchess's sister-in-law.
00:56:53	Are you...?
00:56:54	Oh, yes!
00:56:55	He's to call to-morrow at twelve o'clock!
00:56:57	He wanted to propose to-night.
00:56:58	In fact
00:57:00	He kept on
00:57:01	Poor Augustus,
00:57:02	you know how he repeats himself.
00:57:05	But I told him I wouldn't give him
00:57:07	Of course
00:57:09	And I dare say I'll make him
00:57:13	And there is a great deal
00:57:16	Fortunately
00:57:18	Just where good qualities should be.
00:57:20	Of course
00:57:23	I am not called on to encourage
00:57:26	Oh, no!
00:57:27	I do the encouraging.
00:57:29	But you will make me a handsome settlement,
00:57:32	won't you?
00:57:33	Is that what you want to talk to me about
00:57:36	Yes.
00:57:37	I will not talk about it
00:57:40	Then we will talk of it
00:57:43	Even business
00:57:45	Should it not,
00:57:47	With a proper background
00:57:49	women can do anything.
00:58:00	Won't to-morrow do as well?
00:58:02	No;
00:58:03	you see, to-morrow
00:58:05	And I think
00:58:07	if I was able to tell him
00:58:09	- well,
00:58:10	- 2000 pounds a year
00:58:12	left to me
00:58:14	- or a second husband
00:58:16	- or some distant relative
00:58:19	It would be an additional attraction,
00:58:23	You have a delightful opportunity now
00:58:28	But you are not very clever
00:58:31	I am afraid Margaret doesn't encourage
00:58:34	I's a great mistake
00:58:36	When men give up
00:58:39	they give up
00:58:43	But what do you say
00:58:45	2500 pounds,
00:58:49	In modern life
00:58:54	Windermere,
00:58:56	don't you think the world
00:59:02	I do!
00:59:21	To stay in this house any longer
00:59:25	To-night a man who loves me
00:59:27	offered me his whole life.
00:59:29	I refused it.
00:59:33	It was foolish of me.
00:59:36	I will offer him mine
01:00:31	Is Lady Windermere still in the ball-room?
01:00:32	Her ladyship has just gone out.
01:00:34	Gone out?
01:00:36	No,
01:00:37	Her ladyship
01:00:40	Out of the house?
01:00:41	Yes, madam-
01:00:44	- her ladyship told me she had left a letter
01:00:48	A letter for Lord Windermere?
01:00:50	Yes, madam.
01:00:51	Thank you.
01:01:28	No!
01:01:30	No,
01:01:33	Life doesn't repeat its tragedies
01:01:55	Oh,
01:01:58	The same words
01:02:03	And how bitterly
01:02:08	No;
01:02:10	my punishment,
01:02:14	my real punishment is to-night,
01:02:18	is now!
01:02:28	Have you said good-night to my wife?
01:02:30	Yes.
01:02:31	Where is she?
01:02:32	She is very tired.
01:02:34	She has gone to bed.
01:02:36	She said
01:02:39	I must go to her.
01:02:41	No!
01:02:43	She's only very tired,
01:02:45	Besides,
01:02:47	She wants you
01:02:50	She said
01:02:52	She asked me
01:03:00	Oh yes, thank you,
01:03:03	It's my wife's
01:03:05	Yes,
01:03:06	Will you ask them
01:03:09	Certainly.
01:03:10	Thanks!
01:03:28	Dear lady,
01:03:30	I am in such suspense!
01:03:31	May I not have an answer
01:03:34	Lord Augustus,
01:03:36	You are to take Lord Windermere
01:03:39	and keep him there
01:03:41	Do you understand?
01:03:42	But you said
01:03:45	Do what I tell you.
01:03:47	And my reward?
01:03:48	Your reward?
01:03:50	Your reward?
01:03:52	Oh!
01:03:54	Ask me that to-morrow.
01:03:55	But don't let Windermere
01:03:58	If you do
01:04:00	I will never forgive you.
01:04:02	I will never speak to you again.
01:04:03	I'll have nothing to do with you.
01:04:07	Remember
01:04:09	you are to keep
01:04:12	and don't let him
01:04:17	Well,
01:04:18	I might be her husband already.
01:04:21	Positively I might.
01:04:24	Arthur?
01:04:43	Why doesn't he come?
01:04:46	This waiting is horrible.
01:04:50	He should be here.
01:04:52	Why is he not here,
01:04:53	to wake by passionate words
01:05:00	I am cold...
01:05:03	cold as a loveless thing.
01:05:10	Arthur must have read my letter
01:05:14	If he cared for me,
01:05:16	would have taken me back
01:05:21	But he doesn't care.
01:05:25	He's
01:05:27	entrammelled by
01:05:31	fascinated by her...
01:05:33	dominated by her.
01:05:36	If a woman wants
01:05:39	she has merely to appeal
01:05:43	We make gods of men
01:05:47	Others make brutes of them
01:05:49	and they fawn and are faithful.
01:05:58	How hideous life is!...
01:06:05	Oh!
01:06:07	It was mad of me to come here,
01:06:09	horribly mad.
01:06:14	And yet,
01:06:19	to be at the mercy
01:06:20	of a man who loves me,
01:06:23	or the wife of a man
01:06:24	who in one's own house
01:06:30	What woman knows?
01:06:33	What woman in the whole world?
01:06:42	But will he love me always,
01:06:45	this man to whom I am giving my life?
01:06:50	What do I bring him?
01:06:59	Lips
01:07:04	eyes
01:07:08	chill hands
01:07:12	and icy heart.
01:07:17	I bring him nothing.
01:07:20	I must go back...
01:07:22	no; I can't go back,
01:07:24	my letter
01:07:29	Arthur
01:07:32	Lord Darlington
01:07:35	I will go with him
01:07:49	No, no!
01:07:50	I will go back,
01:07:52	let Arthur do with me
01:07:55	I can't wait here.
01:07:58	It has been madness my coming.
01:07:59	I must go at once.
01:08:03	Lord Darlington!
01:08:06	What can I say to him?
01:08:10	Will he let me go away at all?
01:08:18	I have heard that men are
01:08:20	brutal,
01:08:21	horrible...
01:08:26	Lady Windermere!
01:08:29	Thank Heaven
01:08:33	You must go back
01:08:35	Must?
01:08:36	Yes, you must!
01:08:37	There is not a
01:08:38	Lord Darlington
01:08:40	Don't come near me!
01:08:41	Oh!
01:08:43	You are on the brink of ruin,
01:08:45	you are on the brink
01:08:47	You must leave this place at once,
01:08:49	my carriage is waiting
01:08:52	You must come with me
01:08:55	What are you doing?
01:08:57	Mrs. Erlynne-
01:08:59	- if you had not come here,
01:09:00	I would have gone back.
01:09:02	But now that I see you,
01:09:04	I feel that nothing
01:09:06	would induce me
01:09:07	to live under the same roof
01:09:10	You fill me with horror.
01:09:13	There is something about you
01:09:17	- rage within me.
01:09:19	And I know
01:09:22	My husband sent you
01:09:25	that I might serve
01:09:26	as a blind to whatever relation exists
01:09:31	Oh! You don't think that
01:09:33	Go back to my husband,
01:09:36	He belongs to you
01:09:39	I suppose he is afraid of a scandal.
01:09:42	Men
01:09:44	They outrage every law of the world,
01:09:46	and are afraid
01:09:49	But he had better prepare himself.
01:09:51	He shall have a scandal.
01:09:53	He shall have the worst scandal
01:09:55	there has been in London
01:09:58	He shall see his name
01:10:01	mine
01:10:03	No-
01:10:04	Yes!
01:10:05	Had he come himself,
01:10:07	I admit
01:10:08	I would have gone back
01:10:10	degradation you and he
01:10:12	- I was going back-
01:10:15	- but to stay himself at home,
01:10:17	and to send you as his messenger-
01:10:20	- oh!
01:10:22	It was infamous-
01:10:24	- infamous.
01:10:27	Lady Windermere,
01:10:28	you wrong me horribly-
01:10:30	- you wrong your husband horribly.
01:10:33	He doesn't know
01:10:35	- he thinks
01:10:37	He thinks you are asleep
01:10:39	He never read
01:10:41	Never read it!
01:10:43	No-
01:10:45	How simple you think me!
01:10:47	You are lying to me!
01:10:48	I am not.
01:10:50	I am telling you the truth.
01:10:52	If my husband
01:10:54	how is it
01:10:56	Who told you
01:10:58	you were shameless enough to enter?
01:11:00	Who told you
01:11:02	My husband told you,
01:11:06	Your husband has never seen the letter.
01:11:09	L-
01:11:12	I opened it.
01:11:13	L-
01:11:16	You opened a letter of mine
01:11:20	You wouldn't dare!
01:11:21	Dare!
01:11:23	Oh! To save you from the abyss
01:11:26	there is nothing in the world
01:11:28	nothing in the whole world.
01:11:31	Here is the letter.
01:11:33	Your husband has
01:11:35	He shall never read it.
01:11:38	It should never have been written.
01:11:41	How do I know
01:11:45	You seem to think
01:11:48	Oh! Why do you disbelieve
01:11:51	What object
01:11:54	except to save you
01:11:57	to save you from the consequence
01:12:00	That letter
01:12:03	I swear it to you!
01:12:04	You took good care to burn it
01:12:08	I cannot trust you.
01:12:10	You,
01:12:12	whose whole life is a lie,
01:12:14	how could you speak the truth
01:12:17	Think as you like about me-
01:12:19	but go back,
01:12:20	go back to the husband you love.
01:12:22	I do NOT love him!
01:12:23	You do,
01:12:27	He does not understand
01:12:31	He understands it
01:12:35	but I see
01:12:37	It would be a great advantage to you
01:12:41	Dear Heaven!
01:12:44	Living at the mercy
01:12:45	of a woman who has neither mercy
01:12:49	a woman whom
01:12:52	a degradation to know,
01:12:54	a vile woman,
01:12:56	a woman who comes
01:12:58	Lady Windermere,
01:12:59	Lady Windermere,
01:13:03	You don't know
01:13:05	how terrible
01:13:07	Listen,
01:13:08	you must listen!
01:13:11	Only go back to your husband,
01:13:13	and I promise you
01:13:15	never to communicate with him again
01:13:16	on any pretext...
01:13:17	never to see him...
01:13:19	never to have
01:13:23	The money that he gave me,
01:13:27	but through hatred,
01:13:29	not in worship,
01:13:32	The hold I have over him -
01:13:33	Ah! You admit you have a hold!
01:13:35	Yes,
01:13:37	It is his love for you,
01:13:40	You expect me
01:13:42	You must believe it!
01:13:43	It is the truth.
01:13:44	It is his love for you
01:13:47	oh! Call it what you like,
01:13:48	tyranny, threats,
01:13:50	But it is his love for you.
01:13:52	His desire to spare you-
01:13:55	shame and disgrace.
01:13:57	What do you mean?
01:13:59	You are insolent!
01:14:02	Nothing.
01:14:04	but I tell you
01:14:08	that you may never meet
01:14:11	that such love you will never meet...
01:14:14	and if you throw it away again now,
01:14:16	the day may come when you will starve
01:14:21	beg for love
01:14:24	Oh!
01:14:26	Arthur?
01:14:28	And you tell me
01:14:30	Lady Windermere,
01:14:32	before Heaven your husband
01:14:37	And l...
01:14:38	I tell you that
01:14:41	that such a monstrous suspicion
01:14:45	I would have died
01:14:46	rather than have crossed your life
01:14:49	oh! Died,
01:14:55	You talk as if you had a heart.
01:14:57	Women like you
01:15:01	Heart is not in you.
01:15:03	You are bought and sold.
01:15:10	Believe what you choose
01:15:12	I am not worth
01:15:17	But don't spoil your beautiful young life
01:15:21	You don't know what may be in store for you,
01:15:26	You don't know what it is
01:15:30	to be despised,
01:15:32	mocked,
01:15:33	abandoned,
01:15:34	sneered at...
01:15:36	to be
01:15:38	To find the door shut against one,
01:15:41	to have to creep in
01:15:45	afraid every moment lest the mask be
01:15:49	and all the while
01:15:52	the horrible laughter
01:15:55	a thing more tragic
01:15:58	than all the tears
01:16:01	You don't know what it is.
01:16:05	One pays for one's sin,
01:16:07	and then one pays again,
01:16:11	and all one's life
01:16:14	You must never know that.
01:16:18	As for me,
01:16:19	if suffering
01:16:24	then at this moment I have expiated
01:16:28	for to-night you have made a heart
01:16:33	made it and broken it.
01:16:36	But let that pass.
01:16:38	I may have wrecked my own life,
01:16:40	but I will not let you wreck yours.
01:16:43	You-
01:16:44	- why, you are a mere girl,
01:16:47	You haven't got the kind of brains
01:16:51	You have neither the wit
01:16:54	You couldn't stand dishonour!
01:16:56	No!
01:16:59	Go back,
01:17:01	to the husband
01:17:04	whom you love.
01:17:08	You have a child,
01:17:11	Go back to that child
01:17:14	in pain or in joy,
01:17:19	God gave you that child.
01:17:22	He will require from you that
01:17:25	that you watch over him.
01:17:28	What answer will you make to God
01:17:35	Back to your house,
01:17:37	Your husband loves you!
01:17:39	He has never swerved for a moment
01:17:43	But even
01:17:47	you must stay with your child.
01:17:49	If he was
01:17:52	you must stay with your child.
01:17:55	If he ill-treated
01:17:57	you must stay with your child.
01:18:01	If he abandoned you,
01:18:04	your place
01:18:06	is with your child.
01:18:09	Lady Windermere!
01:18:11	Take me home.
01:18:13	Take me home.
01:18:17	Come!
01:18:19	Here is
01:18:20	Come,
01:18:22	Come at once!
01:18:25	Stop!
01:18:26	Don't you hear voices?
01:18:27	No, no!
01:18:29	Yes, there is!
01:18:30	Listen!
01:18:31	Oh!
01:18:33	He is coming in!
01:18:35	Save me!
01:18:36	Oh,
01:18:38	You have sent for him.
01:18:39	Silence!
01:18:40	I'm here to save you,
01:18:42	But I fear it maybe too late!
01:18:44	There!
01:18:46	The first chance you get,
01:18:48	if you ever get a chance!
01:18:48	But you?
01:18:49	Never mind me.
01:18:52	Nonsense, dear Windermere, you must not
01:18:55	Lord Augustus!
01:18:58	Then it is I
01:19:15	Damned nuisance their turning us
01:19:18	It's only two o'clock.
01:19:21	The lively part of the evening
01:19:24	It is very good of you,
01:19:26	allowing Augustus to force our company
01:19:30	I can't stay longer I'm afraid.
01:19:31	Really! I am so sorry!
01:19:33	Oh, thank you!
01:19:34	My dear boy,
01:19:36	I have a great deal
01:19:38	of demmed importance,
01:19:39	Oh!
01:19:41	Tuppy can't talk about anything
01:19:44	Well, that is none of your business,
01:19:46	None!
01:19:47	That is why it interests me.
01:19:49	My own business
01:19:51	I prefer other people's.
01:19:52	Have something to drink, you fellows.
01:19:55	you'll have a whisky and soda?
01:19:56	Thanks.
01:19:58	Mrs. Erlynne looked very handsome to-night,
01:20:01	I am not one of her admirers.
01:20:03	I usen't to be,
01:20:05	Why!
01:20:05	She actually made me introduce her
01:20:09	I believe she is going to lunch there.
01:20:11	No?
01:20:12	She is,
01:20:13	Excuse me, you fellows.
01:20:15	And I have to write a few letters.
01:20:17	Clever woman,
01:20:19	Hallo, Dumby!
01:20:20	I thought you were asleep.
01:20:22	I am,
01:20:24	A very clever woman.
01:20:25	Knows perfectly well
01:20:27	knows it as well as I do myself.
01:20:29	Ah, you may laugh,
01:20:31	but it is a great thing
01:20:33	to come across a woman
01:20:36	It is an awfully dangerous thing.
01:20:38	They always end up
01:20:40	But I thought,
01:20:41	you were never going to see her again!
01:20:43	You told me so
01:20:46	You said you'd heard.
01:20:47	She had a list of admirers...
01:20:49	Oh, she's explained that.
01:20:51	And the Wiesbaden affair?
01:20:53	She's explained that too.
01:20:55	And her income,
01:20:56	Has she explained that?
01:20:58	She's going to explain that
01:21:00	Awfully commercial,
01:21:02	Our grandmothers threw their caps
01:21:06	but, by Jove,
01:21:07	their granddaughters only throw their caps
01:21:11	for them.
01:21:11	You want to make her out a wicked woman.
01:21:13	She is not!
01:21:14	Oh!
01:21:15	Wicked women bother one.
01:21:17	Good women bore one.
01:21:19	That is the only difference between them.
01:21:21	Mrs. Erlynne
01:21:24	Mrs. Erlynne
01:21:27	I prefer women with a past.
01:21:28	They're so demmed amusing
01:21:30	Well, you'll have lots of topics
01:21:34	You're getting annoying,
01:21:35	no getting
01:21:37	Now,
01:21:39	you've lost your figure,
01:21:40	you've lost your character.
01:21:41	Don't lose your temper;
01:21:42	you have only got one.
01:21:44	My dear boy,
01:21:44	if I wasn't the most
01:21:47	We'd treat you with more respect,
01:21:49	The youth of the present day
01:21:52	have no respect for dyed hair.
01:21:55	Mrs. Erlynne has a very great
01:21:59	Then Mrs. Erlynne sets an admirable example
01:22:03	It is perfectly brutal
01:22:05	behave to men
01:22:07	Dumby,
01:22:09	and Cecil,
01:22:10	you let your tongue run away with you.
01:22:12	You really must stop
01:22:15	You don't know anything about her,
01:22:16	and you're always talking
01:22:18	My dear Arthur,
01:22:19	I never talk
01:22:21	_l_ only talk
01:22:23	What is the difference between scandal
01:22:26	Oh!
01:22:27	Gossip is charming!
01:22:28	History
01:22:31	Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.
01:22:35	Now,
01:22:37	A man who moralises is usually a hypocrite,
01:22:40	and a woman who moralises
01:22:44	Just my sentiments, dear boy,
01:22:46	Sorry to hear it,
01:22:48	whenever anyone agrees with me,
01:22:51	My dear boy,
01:22:53	when I was your age -
01:22:55	But you never were,
01:22:57	and you never will be.
01:22:59	I say,
01:23:00	let us have some cards.
01:23:02	You will play,
01:23:03	won't you?
01:23:04	No, thanks,
01:23:06	Good heavens!
01:23:07	How marriage ruins a man!
01:23:08	It's as demoralising as cigarettes,
01:23:11	far more expensive.
01:23:12	You'll play, of course,
01:23:14	Can't, dear boy.
01:23:15	I promised Mrs. Erlynne
01:23:18	Now,
01:23:20	don't be led astray
01:23:23	Reformed,
01:23:27	Oh,
01:23:29	that
01:23:31	They always want
01:23:34	And if we are good,
01:23:35	when they meet us,
01:23:37	they don't love us at all.
01:23:38	They like
01:23:40	quite irretrievably bad,
01:23:41	and to leave us
01:23:43	quite unattractively
01:23:44	They always do find us bad!
01:23:47	I don't think we are bad.
01:23:49	I think we are all good,
01:23:51	except Tuppy.
01:23:52	No, we are all in the gutter,
01:23:54	but some of us
01:23:56	We are all in the gutter,
01:23:59	but some of us
01:24:01	Upon my word, you are getting
01:24:05	Too romantic!
01:24:07	You must be in love.
01:24:09	Who is the girl?
01:24:11	The woman I love is not free,
01:24:13	or, at least,
01:24:15	A married woman, then!
01:24:18	Well,
01:24:19	there's nothing in the world
01:24:23	It's a thing no married man
01:24:26	No!
01:24:27	She is a good woman.
01:24:29	The only good woman
01:24:32	The only good woman
01:24:35	Yes!
01:24:36	Well,
01:24:37	you are a lucky fellow!
01:24:39	Why,
01:24:42	I never seem to meet
01:24:45	The world is perfectly packed
01:24:49	To know them is a middle-class education.
01:24:52	This woman has purity and innocence.
01:24:54	She has everything
01:24:57	My dear fellow,
01:24:59	should we men do
01:25:02	A carefully thought-out buttonhole,
01:25:05	She doesn't really love you then?
01:25:08	No,
01:25:10	Well, I congratulate you,
01:25:12	In this world
01:25:15	One is not getting what one wants,
01:25:17	and the other is getting it.
01:25:19	The last is much the worst;
01:25:22	the last
01:25:25	But I am interested to hear
01:25:28	How long could you
01:25:31	A woman who didn't love me?
01:25:33	Oh, all my life!
01:25:34	So could I.
01:25:35	But it's so difficult to meet one.
01:25:37	How can you be so conceited,
01:25:39	I didn't say it
01:25:41	Said it
01:25:44	Now, I have been
01:25:45	wildly, madly adored.
01:25:48	I am sorry I have it.
01:25:50	...been an immense nuisance.
01:25:52	I should like to be allowed
01:25:54	a little time to myself now and then.
01:25:55	Time to educate yourself,
01:25:58	No,
01:26:01	That is much more important,
01:26:03	What cynics you fellows are!
01:26:06	What is
01:26:08	a cynic?
01:26:09	A man who knows the price of everything
01:26:12	And a sentimentalist,
01:26:15	is a man who sees
01:26:19	and doesn't know
01:26:22	You always amuse me, Cecil.
01:26:23	You talk
01:26:25	I am.
01:26:27	You are far too young!
01:26:29	That is a great error.
01:26:30	Experience is a question of
01:26:33	I have got it.
01:26:35	But,
01:26:38	Experience is the name
01:26:42	That is all.
01:26:43	Experience is the name
01:26:46	One shouldn't commit any.
01:26:49	Life would be awfully dull without them.
01:26:53	Of course you are quite faithful
01:26:54	to this woman
01:26:56	to this
01:26:58	Cecil,
01:27:00	all other women in the world
01:27:02	Love changes one...
01:27:05	Dear me!
01:27:06	How very interesting!
01:27:08	Tuppy,
01:27:11	No.
01:27:13	You might just as well talk
01:27:15	I like talking to a brick wall...
01:27:16	it's the only thing in the world
01:27:18	Tuppy!
01:27:19	Well, what is it?
01:27:21	Come over here.
01:27:22	I want you
01:27:29	Darlington has been moralising
01:27:30	and talking
01:27:32	and that sort of thing,
01:27:33	and he has got some woman
01:27:37	No, really!
01:27:39	Yes,
01:27:43	here is her fan.
01:27:45	By Jove!
01:27:46	By Jove!
01:27:49	And I must be off now,
01:27:52	I am sorry
01:27:55	Pray call on when you get back!
01:27:59	I will be charmed
01:28:00	I am afraid
01:28:02	Arthur!
01:28:05	What?
01:28:06	I want to speak to you
01:28:08	No,
01:28:10	I can't
01:28:11	It is something very particular.
01:28:13	It will interest you
01:28:14	It is some of your nonsense,
01:28:17	It isn't!
01:28:18	It isn't really.
01:28:19	My dear fellow, you mustn't go yet.
01:28:21	And Cecil has something
01:28:24	Well,
01:28:29	Darlington
01:28:34	Here
01:28:37	Amusing,
01:28:42	Good God!
01:28:43	What is the matter?
01:28:46	Lord Darlington!
01:28:48	Yes!
01:28:49	What is my wife's fan
01:28:52	Hands off, Cecil.
01:28:55	Your wife's fan?
01:28:57	Yes, here it is!
01:28:59	I don't know!
01:29:00	You must know.
01:29:05	Speak, sir!
01:29:07	Why is my wife's fan here?
01:29:09	Answer me! By God!
01:29:13	You shall not search my rooms.
01:29:16	I forbid you!
01:29:17	You scoundrel!
01:29:18	I'll not leave your room
01:29:24	Lord Windermere!
01:29:26	Mrs. Erlynne!
01:29:30	I am afraid I took your wife's fan
01:29:34	when I was leaving your house
01:29:38	I am so sorry.
01:30:22	How can I tell him?
01:30:26	I can't tell him.
01:30:28	It would kill me.
01:30:31	If he knows
01:30:35	how can I look him in the face
01:30:40	He would never forgive me.
01:31:05	How securely
01:31:09	out of reach of temptation,
01:31:13	sin,
01:31:15	folly.
01:31:17	And then suddenly...
01:31:25	Life is terrible.
01:31:29	It rules us,
01:31:31	we do not rule it.
01:31:35	Did your ladyship
01:31:38	Yes.
01:31:39	Have you found out at what time
01:31:41	Lord Windermere came in last night?
01:31:46	His lordship did not come in
01:31:49	He knocked at my door this morning,
01:31:51	Yes, my lady
01:31:54	I told him
01:31:57	Did he say anything?
01:31:58	Something about your ladyship's fan.
01:32:01	I didn't quite catch
01:32:03	Has the fan been lost,
01:32:05	I can't find it,
01:32:07	and Parker says
01:32:09	He has looked in all of them
01:32:10	and on the terrace
01:32:11	It doesn't matter.
01:32:13	Tell Parker not to trouble.
01:32:15	That will do.
01:32:30	She is sure to tell him.
01:32:33	Why should she hesitate between her ruin
01:32:41	There is a bitter irony in things,
01:32:46	a bitter irony in the way
01:32:53	What a lesson!
01:32:59	And what a pity that in life
01:33:02	when they are
01:33:07	For even if she doesn't tell,
01:33:10	I must.
01:33:17	To tell it is
01:33:23	Actions are the first tragedy in life,
01:33:27	words are the second.
01:33:30	Words are perhaps the worst.
01:33:33	Words are merciless...
01:33:39	Good morning.
01:33:59	You look pale.
01:34:03	I slept very badly.
01:34:08	I am so sorry.
01:34:12	I didn't get in till very late,
01:34:14	and didn't like to wake you.
01:34:17	You are crying.
01:34:18	Yes, I am crying,
01:34:23	For I have something to tell you
01:34:25	My dear child,
01:34:27	You've been doing too much.
01:34:31	Let us go away to the country.
01:34:33	You'll be all right at Selby.
01:34:36	The season is almost over.
01:34:40	My poor darling!
01:34:43	We'll go away to-day,
01:34:47	We can easily catch the 3.40,
01:34:50	I'll send a wire to Fannen.
01:34:53	Yes...
01:34:55	let us go away to-day.
01:34:59	No; I can't go to-day,
01:35:02	There is some one I must see
01:35:05	some one
01:35:08	Kind to you?
01:35:11	Far more than that.
01:35:20	I will tell you,
01:35:24	only love me,
01:35:26	love me as you used to love me.
01:35:28	Used to?
01:35:30	You are not thinking of that
01:35:35	Look, dont think I...
01:35:36	I don't.
01:35:37	I know now I was wrong and foolish.
01:35:42	It was very good of you
01:35:45	But you are never to see her again.
01:35:48	Why do you say that?
01:35:52	I thought Mrs. Erlynne
01:35:54	was a woman
01:35:56	more sinned against than sinning,
01:35:59	I thought she wanted to be good,
01:36:03	to get back into a position
01:36:07	to lead again a decent life.
01:36:09	I believed what she told me,
01:36:13	I was mistaken in her.
01:36:15	She is bad,
01:36:17	as bad as a woman can be.
01:36:19	Arthur,
01:36:20	Arthur, don't talk so bitterly
01:36:25	I don't think now that people can be divided
01:36:30	as though they were
01:36:34	What are called
01:36:36	good women
01:36:37	may have terrible things in them,
01:36:40	mad moods of recklessness,
01:36:42	assertion,
01:36:44	jealousy,
01:36:47	sin.
01:36:50	Bad women,
01:36:53	may have in them
01:36:54	sorrow,
01:36:56	repentance,
01:36:58	pity,
01:37:02	sacrifice.
01:37:05	And I don't think Mrs. Erlynne
01:37:07	a bad woman
01:37:08	I know
01:37:10	The woman's impossible.
01:37:16	Margaret,
01:37:18	you must never see her again.
01:37:23	She is inadmissible anywhere.
01:37:26	I want to see her.
01:37:28	I want her to come here.
01:37:31	Never!
01:37:35	She came here once as YOUR guest.
01:37:37	She must come now as MINE.
01:37:42	She should never have come here.
01:37:44	It is too late, Arthur,
01:37:46	Margaret,
01:37:48	if you knew where Mrs. Erlynne
01:37:50	you would not
01:37:52	It was absolutely shameless,
01:37:54	I can't bear it any longer.
01:37:57	I must tell you.
01:38:00	Mrs. Erlynne has called,
01:38:02	to return your ladyship's fan
01:38:04	which she took away by mistake
01:38:06	Mrs. Erlynne has written a message
01:38:08	Ask Mrs. Erlynne to be kind enough
01:38:12	Say I shall be very glad
01:38:16	She wants to see me,
01:38:18	Oh, grace!
01:38:22	Let me see her first,
01:38:24	She's a
01:38:26	The most dangerous woman I know.
01:38:30	You don't realise
01:38:32	It is right that I should see her.
01:38:34	Child, you may be on the brink
01:38:36	Don't go to meet it.
01:38:39	It is absolutely necessary
01:38:42	Why should it be necessary?
01:38:43	Mrs. Erlynne.
01:38:46	How do you do,
01:38:48	How do you do?
01:38:49	Do you know, Lady Windermere,
01:38:54	I can't imagine
01:38:57	Most stupid of me...
01:38:58	And as I was driving in your direction,
01:39:00	I thought I would take the opportunity
01:39:02	of returning your property to you
01:39:05	with many apologies
01:39:07	and of bidding you good-bye.
01:39:09	Good-bye?
01:39:11	Are you going away, then,
01:39:13	Yes;
01:39:15	The English climate doesn't suit me.
01:39:17	My... heart is affected here,
01:39:21	I prefer living in the south.
01:39:23	London is too full of fogs
01:39:26	- and serious people,
01:39:29	Whether the fogs produce the serious people
01:39:31	or the serious people produce the fogs,
01:39:34	but the whole thing
01:39:36	and so I'm leaving
01:39:40	This afternoon?
01:39:41	But I wanted so much
01:39:44	How kind of you!
01:39:45	But I am afraid I have to go.
01:39:47	Shall I never see you again,
01:39:49	I am afraid not.
01:39:50	Our lives lie too far apart.
01:39:52	But there is a little thing
01:39:55	I want a photograph of you,
01:39:58	- would you give me one?
01:39:59	You don't know
01:40:02	With pleasure.
01:40:03	There is in there.
01:40:10	It is monstrous your intruding yourself here
01:40:14	My dear Windermere,
01:40:22	I'm afraid
01:40:24	I am not
01:40:27	You are much prettier.
01:40:29	But haven't you got one of yourself
01:40:32	I have.
01:40:34	Yes.
01:40:35	I'll go and get it for you,
01:40:37	I have one upstairs.
01:40:38	So sorry, Lady Windermere,
01:40:41	No trouble at all,
01:40:44	Thanks so much.
01:40:50	You seem rather out of temper this morning,
01:40:53	Why should you be?
01:40:54	Margaret and I
01:40:56	I can't bear to see you with her.
01:40:58	Besides, you have not told me the truth,
01:41:01	I have not told HER the truth,
01:41:04	I sometimes wish you had.
01:41:06	I should have been spared then the misery,
01:41:08	the anxiety,
01:41:09	the annoyance
01:41:11	But rather than let my wife know
01:41:13	that the mother
01:41:14	whom she was taught to consider as dead,
01:41:16	the mother whom
01:41:18	is living,
01:41:19	a divorced woman, going about
01:41:23	a bad woman
01:41:24	preying upon life,
01:41:27	rather than that,
01:41:28	I was ready to supply you with money
01:41:30	to pay bill after bill,
01:41:31	extravagance after extravagance,
01:41:33	to risk
01:41:36	the first quarrel
01:41:40	You don't understand what that means to me.
01:41:43	But I tell you this:
01:41:45	The only bitter words
01:41:49	were on your account,
01:41:50	and I hate to see you with her.
01:41:52	You sully the innocence
01:41:56	And then I used to think that
01:41:58	frank and honest.
01:42:00	Why do you say that?
01:42:01	You made me get you an invitation
01:42:04	For my daughter's ball
01:42:05	You came,
01:42:06	and within an hour of your leaving the house
01:42:09	you are found in a man's rooms
01:42:10	you are disgraced
01:42:12	Yes.
01:42:13	And therefore I have a right
01:42:15	- a worthless, vicious woman.
01:42:18	I have the right to tell you
01:42:20	never to attempt
01:42:23	My daughter,
01:42:25	You have no right
01:42:27	You left her,
01:42:28	abandoned her
01:42:31	abandoned her for your lover,
01:42:33	who abandoned you in turn.
01:42:35	Do you count that to his credit,
01:42:37	To his, now that I know you.
01:42:38	Take care
01:42:40	Oh, I am not going to mince words
01:42:42	I know you thoroughly.
01:42:47	I question that.
01:42:48	I DO know you.
01:42:50	For twenty years of your life
01:42:52	you lived without your child,
01:42:55	One day
01:42:56	you read in the papers
01:42:58	You saw your hideous chance.
01:43:00	You knew that to spare her the ignominy
01:43:02	of finding that a woman like you
01:43:05	I would endure anything.
01:43:07	You began your blackmailing,
01:43:10	Don't use ugly words, Windermere.
01:43:13	I saw my chance, it is true,
01:43:15	Yes, you took it
01:43:16	and spoiled it all last night
01:43:19	You are quite right,
01:43:20	I spoiled it all
01:43:22	And as for your blunder in taking
01:43:25	and then leaving it about
01:43:27	it is unpardonable.
01:43:28	I can't bear the sight of it now.
01:43:30	I shall never let
01:43:33	The thing is soiled for me.
01:43:34	You should have kept it
01:43:35	I think I shall keep it.
01:43:37	I shall ask Margaret
01:43:39	It is extremely pretty.
01:43:40	I hope my wife will give it you.
01:43:42	Oh, I'm sure she will have no objection.
01:43:44	I wish that at the same time
01:43:44	she would give you a miniature
01:43:46	every night before she goes to sleep.
01:43:48	It's the miniature
01:43:52	with beautiful DARK hair.
01:43:54	Ah, yes,
01:43:55	How long ago that seems!
01:43:57	It was done
01:43:58	Dark hair and an innocent expression
01:44:12	What do you mean
01:44:17	What is your object?
01:44:19	To bid good-bye to my dear daughter,
01:44:22	Oh, don't imagine I am going
01:44:25	weep on her neck
01:44:27	and all that kind of thing.
01:44:28	I have no ambition
01:44:31	Only once in my life
01:44:35	That was last night.
01:44:37	They were terrible
01:44:39	- they made me suffer...
01:44:42	they made me suffer
01:44:44	For twenty years, as you say,
01:44:50	- I want to live childless
01:44:53	Besides,
01:44:55	how on earth could I pose as a mother
01:44:58	Margaret is twenty-one,
01:44:59	and I have never admitted
01:45:02	or thirty at the most.
01:45:03	Twenty-nine
01:45:06	thirty
01:45:07	So you see
01:45:09	No,
01:45:12	let your wife cherish the memory
01:45:14	stainless mother.
01:45:16	Why should I interfere with her illusions?
01:45:18	I find it hard enough
01:45:20	I lost one illusion
01:45:22	I thought
01:45:24	I find I have,
01:45:25	and a heart doesn't suit me,
01:45:29	Somehow it doesn't go with modern dress.
01:45:30	It makes one look old.
01:45:32	And it spoils one's career
01:45:35	You fill me with horror,
01:45:37	absolute horror.
01:45:39	I suppose,
01:45:41	you would like me
01:45:43	or become a hospital nurse,
01:45:45	as people do in silly modern novels.
01:45:47	That is stupid of you,
01:45:50	in real life
01:45:52	not as long as we have any good looks left,
01:45:55	No... what consoles one
01:45:57	is not repentance,
01:45:59	Repentance is quite out of date.
01:46:02	Besides,
01:46:03	if a woman really repents,
01:46:04	she has to go to
01:46:07	otherwise no one believes in her.
01:46:08	And nothing in the world
01:46:12	No; I am going to pass
01:46:15	My coming into them
01:46:17	I discovered that
01:46:19	A fatal mistake.
01:46:22	Almost fatal.
01:46:24	I wish now that I'd told my wife
01:46:28	I regret my bad actions.
01:46:31	You regret your good ones-
01:46:32	- that is the difference
01:46:35	I don't trust you.
01:46:36	I think I WILL tell her.
01:46:38	It's better for her to know,
01:46:41	It will cause her infinite pain
01:46:45	but it's right
01:46:47	You propose to tell her?
01:46:48	I am going to tell her.
01:46:49	If you do,
01:46:51	I will make my name
01:46:53	it will mar every moment of her life.
01:46:55	It will ruin her,
01:46:59	If you dare to tell her,
01:47:00	there is
01:47:05	no pit of shame I will not enter.
01:47:09	You shall not tell her
01:47:12	Why?
01:47:14	If I said to you
01:47:17	perhaps loved her even
01:47:20	I should feel it was not true.
01:47:22	A mother's love
01:47:25	unselfishness, sacrifice.
01:47:27	What could you know of such things?
01:47:30	You are quite right.
01:47:32	What could I know of such things?
01:47:34	Don't let us talk about it
01:47:35	As for telling my daughter who I am,
01:47:39	It is my secret, it is not yours.
01:47:41	If I make up my mind to tell her,
01:47:43	and I think I will,
01:47:44	I will tell her
01:47:46	If not,
01:47:48	Then let me beg of you
01:47:51	I shall make your excuses to Margaret.
01:47:54	I am so sorry, Mrs. Erlynne,
01:47:57	I couldn't find the photograph anywhere.
01:48:00	At last I discovered it
01:48:02	in my husband's dressing-room
01:48:03	- he had stolen it.
01:48:06	I am not surprised.
01:48:09	It is charming.
01:48:14	And so that is your little boy!
01:48:17	What is he called?
01:48:18	Gerard,
01:48:22	Really?
01:48:23	Yes.
01:48:24	If it had been a girl,
01:48:27	My mother had the same name as myself,
01:48:29	My name is Margaret too.
01:48:31	Indeed!
01:48:32	Yes.
01:48:34	You are devoted to your mother's memory,
01:48:36	your husband tells me.
01:48:37	We all have ideals in life.
01:48:39	At least
01:48:41	Mine is my mother.
01:48:43	Ideals are dangerous things.
01:48:46	Realities are better.
01:48:47	They wound,
01:48:50	If I lost my ideals,
01:48:53	Everything?
01:48:54	Yes.
01:48:57	Did your father often speak to you
01:49:01	No,
01:49:04	He told me how my mother had died
01:49:09	His eyes filled with tears
01:49:11	Then he begged me
01:49:15	It made him suffer
01:49:17	My father-
01:49:20	- my father died really
01:49:24	His was the most ruined life I know,
01:49:31	I am afraid I must go now,
01:49:34	Oh no, don't.
01:49:35	I think I had better.
01:49:36	My carriage must have come back
01:49:38	I sent it to Lady Jedburgh's with a note.
01:49:40	Arthur,
01:49:41	would you mind seeing
01:49:43	has come back yet?
01:49:44	Pray don't trouble,
01:49:46	Yes, Arthur,
01:49:56	Oh!
01:49:58	You saved me last night?
01:50:00	Hush
01:50:01	I must speak of it.
01:50:02	I can't let you think
01:50:05	I am not.
01:50:06	It is too great.
01:50:07	I am going to tell my husband everything.
01:50:09	It is my duty.
01:50:10	It is not your duty
01:50:11	- at least you have duties
01:50:14	You say you owe me something?
01:50:15	I owe you everything.
01:50:17	Then pay your debt by silence.
01:50:19	That is the only way
01:50:21	Don't spoil the one good thing
01:50:24	by telling it to any one.
01:50:26	Promise me
01:50:28	will remain a secret between us.
01:50:34	You must not
01:50:37	Why spoil his love?
01:50:38	You must not spoil it.
01:50:40	Love is easily killed.
01:50:41	Oh!
01:50:45	Pledge me your word,
01:50:47	that you will never tell him.
01:50:51	It is your will, not mine.
01:50:53	Yes, it is my will.
01:50:54	And never forget your child-
01:50:57	- I like to think of you as a mother.
01:50:59	I like you to think of yourself
01:51:02	I always will now.
01:51:04	Only once in my life
01:51:07	- that was last night.
01:51:09	Oh, had I remembered her
01:51:13	so wicked.
01:51:14	Hush,
01:51:20	Your carriage has not come back yet,
01:51:23	It makes no matter.
01:51:24	I should take a hansom.
01:51:25	There is nothing in the world so respectable
01:51:29	And now, dear Lady Windermere,
01:51:33	Oh, I remember.
01:51:35	You'll think me absurd,
01:51:37	I've taken a great fancy
01:51:40	but I was silly enough
01:51:42	Now, I wonder
01:51:44	Lord Windermere says
01:51:46	I know it is his present.
01:51:48	Oh, certainly,
01:51:51	But it has my name on it.
01:51:52	It has 'Margaret' on it.
01:51:54	But we have the same Christian name.
01:51:56	Oh,
01:51:57	Of course, do have it.
01:52:00	What a wonderful chance
01:52:03	Quite wonderful.
01:52:05	Thanks
01:52:10	Lord Augustus Lorton.
01:52:12	Mrs. Erlynne's carriage has come.
01:52:15	Good morning,
01:52:18	Good morning,
01:52:21	Mrs. Erlynne!
01:52:22	How do you do,
01:52:24	Are you quite well
01:52:25	Quite well, thank you,
01:52:28	You don't look at all well,
01:52:30	You stop up too late
01:52:32	- it is so bad for you.
01:52:34	You really should take more care
01:52:37	Good-bye,
01:52:44	Lord Augustus!
01:52:45	Won't you see me to my carriage?
01:52:47	You might carry the fan.
01:52:49	Allow me!
01:52:51	No;
01:52:53	I have a special message
01:52:55	Won't you carry the fan,
01:52:57	If you really desire it,
01:53:01	Of course I do.
01:53:02	You'll carry it so
01:53:04	You would carry off anything gracefully,
01:53:07	dear Lord Augustus.
01:53:23	You will never speak against
01:53:28	She is better than one thought her.
01:53:31	She is better than I am.
01:53:35	Child,
01:53:37	she lives in different worlds.
01:53:40	Into your world
01:53:43	Don't say that,
01:53:45	There is the same world
01:53:48	and good and evil,
01:53:49	sin and innocence,
01:53:51	go through it hand in hand.
01:53:55	To shut one's eyes
01:53:56	to half of life
01:53:59	is as though one blinded oneself
01:54:01	that one might walk
01:54:03	in a land of pit and precipice.
01:54:04	Darling,
01:54:06	Because I,
01:54:09	came to the brink.
01:54:11	And one who had separated us
01:54:13	We were never separated.
01:54:15	We never must be again.
01:54:18	Oh Arthur,
01:54:20	don't love me less,
01:54:23	and I will trust you more.
01:54:26	I will trust you absolutely.
01:54:30	Let us go to Selby.
01:54:32	In the Rose Garden at Selby
01:54:39	Arthur,
01:54:44	My dear boy
01:54:47	she has explained
01:54:50	We all wronged her
01:54:52	It was entirely for my sake
01:54:55	Called first at the Club
01:54:57	wanted to put me out of suspense
01:54:59	- and being told we had gone on...
01:55:01	- naturally frightened
01:55:04	- retired to another room-
01:55:06	- I assure you,
01:55:06	most gratifying to me,
01:55:09	We all behaved
01:55:11	She is just the woman
01:55:12	Suits me
01:55:14	The only conditions she makes are
01:55:18	A very good thing
01:55:20	Demmed clubs,
01:55:22	demmed climate,
01:55:23	demmed cooks,
01:55:24	demmed everything.
01:55:26	Sick of it all!
01:55:27	Has Mrs. Erlynne...?
01:55:30	Yes,
01:55:35	- Mrs. Erlynne has done me the honour
01:55:40	Well, Tuppy,
01:55:41	you are certainly marrying
01:55:45	Ah, you're marrying
