- That's what's exciting.
- I'm glad it excites you. It frightens me.

:16:02
I suggest you keep your voice down.
:16:05
It would have been too easy
with the others, Phillip, and too dull.

:16:09
As for Rupert,
I once thought of inviting him to join us.

:16:13
- Why didn't you? The more the merrier.
- He hasn't the nerve.

:16:16
Oh, intellectually,
he could've come along. He's brilliant.

:16:18
But he's a little too fastidious.
:16:20
He could've invented and admired
but he never could have acted.

:16:23
That's where we're superior.
We have courage. Rupert doesn't.

:16:26
Mr Cadell got a bad leg in the war for his
courage. You've got your sleeve in the celery.

:16:32
(Door Buzzer)
They're here. Are we ready?

:16:35
As ready as we'll ever be.
:16:36
Don't you be so busy
at that piano that you don't eat.

:16:39
You're getting too thin.
:16:41
And don't you let them gobble up
that pâté before you have any.

:16:44
Let's hope it's a success. Oh, my tray.
:16:47
Take it in the kitchen.
I'll answer the door.

:16:49
There wouldn't be this last minute
hustle bustle if you'd kept my table...

:16:53
Now the fun begins.
:17:00
- Hello, come in.
(Kenneth) - How are you, Brandon?

:17:02
- Fine. Just put your hat there.
- Thank you.

:17:05
lt's been quite a while.
:17:06
Yes, that's why l sounded so stupid
on the phone. Surprised, l guess.

:17:12
- Hello, Kenneth. Good to see you.
- You too.

:17:14
- Been up to much lately?
- Oh, nothing to speak of. You?

:17:18
Trying to get ready for exams. I have
to start cramming before everyone else.

:17:22
- Am I the first?
- You are.

:17:25
Why is it I'm always too early
at parties?

:17:27
Probably because you're always on time.
:17:29
Mrs Wilson, champagne.
:17:31
Oh.
:17:33
It... It isn't someone's birthday, is it?
:17:36
Don't look so worried, Kenneth.
It's really almost the opposite.

:17:39
The opposite?
:17:40
Phillip's bidding the world a temporary
farewell. I'm driving him to Connecticut.

:17:45
Oh. Where are you going?
:17:46
To Brandon's mother's place
for a few weeks.

:17:48
- I'm to be locked up.
- What?

:17:51
To make sure he practices
six hours a day.

:17:53
- I've finally wrangled a debut for him.
- Town Hall, at that.

:17:56
That's wonderful.
I hope you knock 'em dead.

:17:59
Thank you.
