:32:02
Are you afraid of Boyeur too?
:32:04
He represents the people, or they think he does.
It amounts to the same thing.

:32:09
You don't think I have
a chance of winning, do you?

:32:13
- No.
- Well, I do!

:32:15
I'm not afraid of Boyeur!
I'm not afraid of opposing him!

:32:19
Is there something to drink?
I'd like a sour.

:32:21
Right.
:32:28
Your father and I were talking about
taking Jocelyn to England for a while.

:32:32
It's death for a young girl
like her on this island.

:32:35
She ought to have the chance
of meeting the right people, don't you think?

:32:38
Do you think he'd ever trust me
to run the estate single-handed?

:32:41
Your father felt like that about
the election because he was concerned for you...

:32:45
- what a defeat might mean to you.
- Was he?

:32:48
I don't remember his ever
being concerned about me before.

:32:52
I can't remember his ever
worrying whether or not I went to England...

:32:55
whether I ever had a chance
to meet the right people.

:32:58
All I've ever had
is this dreary island.

:33:00
Ah, now,
you're not being fair.

:33:03
Fair? I'm being truthful.
I know what people say.

:33:06
I know what people think.
I know what you think. I know what he thinks.

:33:09
I never lived up
to the great Fleury name.

:33:13
But I might have,
if I'd gone to Oxford and Eton like Arthur did.

:33:17
Many things might
have been different.

:33:19
But instead you sent me
to school here with a load of colored brats.

:33:21
All I ever heard about was Arthur-
:33:23
how well he was doing,
what good reports you had.

:33:26
That's who father cared about.
:33:28
Elder son, apple of his eye.
:33:30
- Arthur's dead.
- No, he's not dead. He's alive.

:33:34
Always will be for him.
And I'll always live in his shadow.

:33:37
Charming Arthur. Modest Arthur.
:33:39
And then Arthur
dead in the war, a- a hero.

:33:42
- Maxwell, be quiet, will you?
- All right. Father was kind.

:33:46
He gave Sylvia and me Belfontaine
as a wedding present.

:33:49
A decaying house out
on the God-forsaken tip of the island.

:33:53
And I'm supposed to be grateful
for being Julian Fleury's son.

:33:56
I'd have been better off
if I'd been born black.

:33:58
Maxwell!
