:30:01
- I'm glad you were able to come.
- That's very kind of you.
:30:04
Nobody told me
you were so handsome.
:30:07
Come on, let me introduce you.
:30:09
This is Anna's mother.
:30:11
How do you do?
:30:14
She can't answer you
because she can't speak.
:30:16
She hasn't spoken
since the Japs bombed us in Rangoon.
:30:19
I'm sorry.
:30:21
- Hello, Mr. Phang.
- A pleasure, Doctor, as always.
:30:24
- This is Mr. Phang.
- How do you do, Mr. Phang?
:30:27
Very pleased indeed, sir,
to meet so distinguished an officer.
:30:29
It'll be no surprise to you to learn that
Mr. Phang studied English at the university.
:30:34
English literature
to be precise, Mr. Forrester.
:30:36
Oh, Doctor,
remember I am relying on you
:30:39
to have plenty of ideas
about the hymns for Easter.
:30:42
I've been thinking of nothing else.
:30:44
Mr. Phang!
:30:45
Excuse me.
Yes, Miss McNab?
:30:48
- Get me another glass, please.
- Certainly.
:30:52
- I'm glad you were able to come.
- It's good to see you again.
:30:55
It was very good
of Miss McNab to ask me.
:30:57
Mr. Forrester, do you know
that foul, benighted, godless city Katarba?
:31:03
I'm telling you, the only good thing
that ever came out of it
:31:05
was the bottle of whiskey
the doctor brought us back from there.
:31:08
I don't touch the stuff myself.
:31:10
But I daresay it won't do you
any harm while you're waiting for the dinner.
:31:13
- There.
- Thank you, Miss McNab.
:31:16
- And what is it you fly?
- Mosquitoes, fighter-bombers.
:31:20
I say they are
wicked, devilish things.
:31:23
True.
:31:28
I see you are one of the quiet,
thoughtful ones, Mr. Forrester.
:31:31
You didn't tell me that, Anna.
She's very shy, of course.
:31:35
Well, drink your whiskey.
Dinner will be ready soon.
:31:42
I told you I'd come again.
:31:44
I hoped you would.
:31:46
Miss McNab says you're very shy.
:31:48
Compared to Miss McNab,
everyone is shy.
:31:51
She's quite a character.
:31:54
We love her.
:31:56
If it hadn't been for her, none of us
would have got here from Rangoon.
