:21:00
- David?
- Yes, David.
:21:03
Which makes everything
just ginger-peachy.
:21:05
I'm terribly sorry, but it is difficult
trying to keep up with your romances.
:21:10
After me came Kenneth,
and now it's David.
:21:13
Why the switch
from Kenneth to David, anyway?
:21:16
- Obviously, I think he's nicer.
- Well, he's certainly richer.
:21:21
That's a new low even for you, chum.
:21:25
(Kenneth) - Gave me a 'D' in conduct.
(Phillip) - How's your drink doing?
:21:28
How many years has it been since I said,
'Oh, it tickles'? And don't you tell me.
:21:32
- I hear Rupert's coming.
- He was invited, but you never know.
:21:36
- I hope he does. How is he?
- Who is he?
:21:38
Rupert Cadell
was our housemaster in prep school.
:21:41
Housemaster for you three little dears?
:21:44
Four little dears.
He tried valiantly to teach David, too.
:21:48
Rupert's a publisher now, isn't he?
:21:49
Successful? Maybe he can give me a job.
:21:51
Rupert only publishes books he likes,
usually philosophy.
:21:55
Oh. Small print, big words, no sales.
:21:58
- Right.
- Rupert's extremely radical.
:22:01
Do you know that he selects
his books on the assumption that
:22:03
people not only can read
but actually can think.
:22:06
- Curious fellow, but I like him.
- You always did.
:22:09
Golly, those bull sessions you
and Rupert used to have in school.
:22:12
Brandon would sit up till all hours
at the master's feet.
:22:15
Brandon at someone's feet!
Who is this Rupert?
:22:18
- He used to tell you the weirdest things.
- Really? What sort of things?
:22:22
I suppose Kenneth means Rupert's
impatience with social conventions.
:22:27
For example, he thinks murder
is a crime for most men, but -
:22:32
- A privilege for the few.
- Yes.
:22:37
It's alright, Mrs Wilson,
I'll answer the door.
:22:41
- Mr Kentley. So glad you could come.
- Thank you, Brandon.
:22:45
Mrs Kentley isn't well, so I took
the liberty of bringing my sister-in-law,
:22:48
Mrs Atwater, who's staying with us.
:22:50
- Delighted to have you.
- Delighted to come, dear boy.
:22:53
I've been in New York two weeks.
Alice has been ill almost the whole time.
:22:57
Henry is forever cataloging his library.
