:19:05
-Have you been here all night?
-Yes.
:19:09
You said there was a post?
:19:12
Yes. I'll offer you a post, with a house,
a servant and £50 a year.
:19:17
What post?
:19:19
At the new school.
:19:23
A teacher!
:19:25
Richard, no one's going to give you
a place at court.
:19:30
Master Cromwell says
he'll do something for me.
:19:34
Cromwell?
:19:36
Well, if you know Cromwell
you don't need my help.
:19:40
Sir Thomas?
:19:44
If only you knew how much,
much rather, I had your help than his.
:19:50
Not to a place at court.
:19:52
Why not?
:19:56
Look.
:19:58
-What is it?
-It's a bribe!
:20:03
"l am the gift of Averil Machin."
:20:07
And Averil Machin has a lawsuit
in the Court of Requests.
:20:11
Italian silver. Take it. No joke.
:20:18
Thank you.
:20:22
What will you do with it?
:20:25
Sell it.
:20:25
-And buy what?
-A decent gown!
:20:29
But Richard, that's a little bribe.
:20:32
At court they offer you all sorts of things,
home, manor houses, coats of arms.
:20:38
A man should go
where he won't be tempted.
:20:41
Why not be a teacher? You'd be
a fine teacher. Perhaps a great one.
:20:47
-lf I was, who would know it?
-You! Your pupils. Your friends.
:20:51
God. Not a bad public, that.
:20:58
And a quiet life.
