:15:02
- You walked out?
- Of course.
:15:05
I wasn't going
to let some illiterate bitch make fun of me.
:15:09
I've given four years' devoted service
to that series.
:15:12
But you said yourself they don't like
contract artists having tantrums.
:15:15
They've no right to treat me like this.
I'm a senior member of the cast.
:15:19
If they wanted to write me out,
they should have asked me...
:15:23
to come to the office,
and told me in the proper manner.
:15:25
Don't be ridiculous.
Nobody wants to write you out.
:15:28
- Applehurst couldn't survive without you.
- Don't you be too sure.
:15:32
Applehurst is more than a village.
It's a way of life.
:15:36
It doesn't depend on individuals.
:15:38
Belt up, George. You talk as if it was real.
:15:41
It is real, to millions of people.
:15:43
Much more real than you, or I, or any of us.
:15:48
There's many a stone in that churchyard.
:15:52
Maybe to some people. I don't know.
:16:01
- Who have you been drinking with?
- Drinking?
:16:06
- Miss Whiplash came in from over the road.
- I thought you didn't like her?
:16:09
- I don't. She was looking for you.
- Was she?
:16:12
Anyway, don't call her Miss Whiplash.
Her name is Thaxter. Betty Thaxter.
:16:18
Bet that's not what she calls herself
in those crummy little paper shops.
:16:21
"Miss Whiplash, Corrective Therapy."
Probably more like it.
:16:26
Too rich for your blood, eh?
You're a prude, you know.
:16:30
And what's more, you're a hypocrite.
:16:33
That's what you are. A hypocrite.
:16:36
Because I don't happen to get on
with a common prostitute?
:16:38
I would say that Betty Thaxter
was an exceedingly uncommon prostitute.
:16:43
- She enjoys her work, does she?
- I've never discussed it with her.
:16:47
But anyone who succeeds in being kept
in the manner that Betty's accustomed to...
:16:51
and manages to have a bit on the side...
:16:54
could hardly be described
as a common prostitute.
:16:58
A bit on the side?
