:23:03
Look at that!
:23:13
- Tell me about the elephants.
- Are we changing the subject?

:23:16
I would like to know more about Ceylon.
:23:19
Those elephants have been making trouble
for 40 years...

:23:22
and they'll go on making trouble
for another 40.

:23:24
They must resent this house a lot.
:23:27
- Wouldn't you if you were an elephant?
- Yes.

:23:32
I wonder why he did it.
:23:34
Why he built across their trail,
why he insisted on his grave being there.

:23:39
Tom Wiley was Tom Wiley.
:23:41
That doesn't tell me very much.
:23:43
He was the best tea planter in Ceylon
or anywhere else.

:23:46
But they talk about him
as if he'd been a king.

:23:49
He was a king, in his way.
:23:51
But what kind of a man beneath it all?
:23:55
Hard, stubborn.
:23:58
Too stubborn even to die.
:24:01
Don't get your impressions of Tom Wiley
from me.

:24:04
I'm not a disciple like the rest of them.
:24:06
Yes, I know. That's why I asked.
:24:08
Can I give you some friendly advice?
:24:11
Get Tom Wiley out of your mind,
keep him out.

:24:14
Let the others hang on to their myths
if they want to.

:24:17
Just remember that grave out there
is a colossal piece of vanity, nothing else.

:24:21
He's very dead.
:24:25
- Good night.
- Good night.

:24:29
When I wished you happiness this evening,
I really meant it.

:24:32
I mean it even more now.
I hope you're very happy.

:24:36
Thank you. Please come see us often.
:24:39
Didn't John tell you?
I'm leaving Elephant Walk.

:24:42
- You're leaving?
- Yes. I should've gone a long time ago.

:24:44
I only stuck around to keep things running
while John went to England and found you.

:24:50
I guess I'm the one
who should have gone to England.

:24:54
Where are you going?
:24:55
First stop, Paris, to make up for anything
I have missed at jolly old Elephant Walk.
