: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.

:32:00
Yes, the doctor was telling me.
Seems incredible.

:32:04
Strange things happened
during the war.

:32:06
Yes.
:32:09
Strange landing places.
:32:12
Strange meetings.
:32:23
Dinner! Dinner!
:32:27
It's delicious.
:32:31
Shall we go?
:32:39
Some more curry, Mr. Forrester.
You're not eating a thing.

:32:42
- Did you not like it?
- Oh, it was terrific.

:32:44
I've eaten too much already, thanks.
:32:47
I've been admiring your tablecloth.
:32:49
Ah, you have an eye
for fine things, Mr. Forrester.

:32:53
It was worked by the girls
at the mission in Rangoon for Miss McNab.

:32:55
They gave it to her
on her 21st birthday.

:32:59
Take no notice of him, Mr. Forrester.
I'm not ashamed of my age.
