:27:00
The colonel seems to think.
:27:02
- What do you think?
- I don't know.
:27:07
Then why are you
trying to find out?
:27:09
[Chuckling]
I don't know that either.
:27:13
Does it make any difference,
having an aim in life?
:27:18
- An aim?
- Not just floating about-
:27:21
tea at 5:00, dinner at 8:00,
Tuesdays at the hairdresser's.
:27:23
Having- Oh, I used to
know the word for it-
:27:27
a- a cause.
:27:29
That should depend a great deal
on the person, I should imagine.
:27:32
You think I'm rather useless, don't you?
Parasitic- that all women of my kind are.
:27:36
Oh, no, it's true
that we don't know anything-
:27:39
oh, the ground rules for tennis
or a recipe for shrimp curry...
:27:42
a- a little charity nursing-
but nothing very important.
:27:46
I wish there were
something worthwhile...
:27:49
I could learn
about people, about-
:27:55
There's a great deal to learn
right here on this island...
:28:00
if you really mean it.
:28:28
Oh, it's beautiful.
:28:30
Used to be the summerhouse
where the governors'wives did their sewing.
:28:39
I told the governor
I'd like somewhere to do my writing, and, uh-
:28:45
- Oh, is this what you're writing?
- Yes.
:28:49
- Is it a novel?
- Sort of.
:28:52
- What's it about?
- Oh, people and places.
:28:55
Begins in London,
and then goes on to Hong Kong...
:28:59
Cairo, Malta, the West Indies.
