:16:03
I'm in love with him.
:16:08
You've roped him, but he's not yet
broken to harness. Is that it?

:16:14
I wish Charlotte Inwood was in...
:16:17
Oh, do you?
:16:19
I've seen her on the stage.
:16:21
She'd have made me laugh,
if I hadn't been strictly on my guard.

:16:24
Well, she couldn't make me laugh,
off or on the stage.

:16:27
I can't bear to sit by and see
what she's doing to Jonathan.

:16:29
She's like an evil spirit.
Just look at him!

:16:32
Ruined, and by a woman.
:16:36
Now you want me to take the ruins
for a little cruise.

:16:40
- Well, is that it?
- I thought you could take him...

:16:42
...across the channel or to the Irish coast.
Then he could hide out a bit.

:16:45
The journey sounds attractive,
but less so...

:16:47
...to help a suspected murderer to escape,
particularly with my reputation.

:16:51
There's nothing wrong
with your reputation.

:16:53
Oh, indeed.
I rather flattered myself that there was.

:16:56
As a matter of fact, the customs people
have their eye on me.

:16:59
I'm suspected of being a smuggler.
:17:01
- Well, you're not.
- Oh, yes, I am.

:17:03
One cask of brandy?
That doesn't mean you're a smuggler.

:17:06
- Two casks.
- That was 15 years ago.

:17:09
I've done one or two other things since
that I didn't tell you or your mother about.

:17:13
- Can't have been very much.
- Of course not. Not very much.

:17:17
Nothing could appear very much
to a murderer's moll.

:17:21
But I never hope to be appreciated.
:17:23
Yes, your mother cured me of that.
:17:25
That's why I never could be bothered
with your mother.

:17:28
I appreciate you, Father. You and
Captain Kidd are my favorite heroes.

:17:34
My child, I am not deceived.
:17:36
If there's one thing I cannot bear,
it's insincerity.

:17:40
But you've got to help him.
You will help him, won't you?

:17:43
He's lonely. He hasn't got any friends
but me, and maybe you.

:17:47
- You will help him, won't you?
- He hasn't got me...

:17:50
...yet.
:17:54
You're just dying to get into a part of this,
and you know you are.

:17:57
A part in this melodramatic play,
you mean?
