:23:03
- You wallow in luxury all the year...
- I don't wallow!
:23:06
...and think a few weeks playing
Lady Bountiful...
:23:08
- Come, Vin.
- It's not much, perhaps...
:23:10
...but it's the only thing I know.
:23:13
- What have you been doing?
- I?
:23:16
- Well...
- I see. Just talk.
:23:19
- That's all right. It's easier.
- Listen, I didn't say...
:23:22
Oh, don't apologize.
:23:24
I know how comfortable it is to curl up
with a book full of big words...
:23:27
...and think you're going to solve
the problems of the universe.
:23:31
But you're not.
A bit of action is required now and then.
:23:34
Action? If that's what you
and your class are asking for...
:23:37
...maybe you'll get it one of these days.
- Maybe. But not from the talkers.
:23:41
Vin! Remember, Miss Beldon is a guest.
If you have any manners at all...
:23:45
Manners? A humble working man
is denied the reward of his artistry...
:23:49
...to gratify the vanity of an aristocrat...
- Quiet. This isn't your concern.
:23:53
I beg to differ. I'm concerned
for a fellow man's dignity.
:23:56
And the indignity
that's heaped upon him.
:23:59
- You'll excuse me, I'm sure, Miss Beldon.
- Certainly.
:24:04
- I must apologize for Vin.
- Oh, no, please, it's all right.
:24:08
And besides, he's rather nice, isn't he?
:24:11
- What?
- Well...
:24:12
Really, you know, he's perfectly right.
:24:14
I have not a leg to stand on
in this business.
:24:17
I shouldn't have asked you.
:24:19
I realized that before the words
were out of my mouth.
:24:22
It's just that my grandmother's over 80
and takes such pride...
:24:25
...in winning year after year.
- Of course.
:24:27
But please forget
I said anything about it.
:24:30
Anyhow, I'm glad we met at last.
:24:31
- I hope we see more of each other.
- I hope so too.
:24:35
- You'll be at the sailing club dance?
- Oh, yes.
:24:37
- Good. I'll see you there, then.
- Goodbye.
:24:40
To hear people, you'd think
Mr. Ballard committed a crime.
:24:43
I don't hold with people getting
ideas above their station.
:24:46
Who's he to think he can
enter his rose in the show?
:24:49
- And who's to say he can't?
- Nobody's ever entered a rose...
:24:52
...against Lady Beldon since she started
30 years ago. Keep a civil tongue...
:24:57
...or I'll be doing my shopping
in Meekham after this!
