The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

:49:03
I had reckoned
on my prime lasting...

:49:05
till I was
at least... 50.

:49:09
Are you listening,
Sandy?

:49:11
I'm listening,
Miss Brodie.

:49:14
I have been dismissed
from Marcia Blaine.

:49:20
I am accused of teaching
treason and sedition to my students.

:49:25
I am being transported
for radicalism...

:49:28
like Thomas Muir
of Huntershill.

:49:32
But if Miss Mackay
and her conspirators...

:49:34
expect that I shall meekly lay my head
on their chopping block...

:49:37
- they're in for a wee surprise.
- What will you do?

:49:40
As I informed Miss Mackay,
I will resort to public petition.

:49:44
I have no doubt that many supporters
will rally to my defense.

:49:47
My students are loyal.
:49:50
My girls.
:49:55
Someone betrayed me, Sandy.
Someone spoke against me to the board.

:49:59
Who could it
have been? Who?

:50:01
Are you thinking that
maybe one of your girls betrayed you?

:50:06
I said
to Miss Mackay...

:50:09
"I have the loyalty
of my girls,"

:50:11
and she said,
"Do you?"

:50:15
I'll not believe it. I'll not believe
it was one of my girls.

:50:18
Perhaps it's true.
:50:24
I thought possibly Monica.
There's very little soul...

:50:27
- Monica is a loyal girl.
- I know. You all are.

:50:30
Monica and Jenny.
Oh, notJenny.

:50:34
She's like
a part of myself.

:50:37
You, Sandy... As you see,
you are exempt from all suspicion.

:50:40
You have had more
of my confidence than anyone.

:50:42
You know more than anyone
what I have sacrificed for my girls.

:50:46
Teddy Lloyd was greatly
in love with me, Sandy...

:50:50
as I think
you've always known.

:50:53
And I gave him up to consecrate
my life to the young girls in my care...

:50:58
you and Monica
and Jenny.
