:15:02
I don't quite understand
what you're getting at.
:15:06
I am the housekeeper in this house,
and your father is the under-butler.
:15:11
I am accustomed to addressing under-
servants by their Christian names.
:15:17
If you would stop to think for a moment,
you'd realize...
:15:21
...how inappropriate it is for one such
as yourself to address as William...
:15:25
...someone such as my father.
:15:28
It must have been very galling for
your father to be called William...
:15:32
...by one such as myself.
:15:34
My father is a person from whom...
:15:37
...if you'd observe him more,
you may learn things.
:15:40
I'm grateful for your advice,
but do tell me...
:15:43
...what things might I learn from him?
:15:45
I might point out that you're...
:15:48
...often unsure of what goes where
and which item is which.
:15:52
I'm sure Mr. Stevens Sr.
is very good at his job...
:15:56
...but I can assure you
that I'm very good at mine.
:15:59
-Of course.
-Thank you.
:16:01
If you will please excuse me.
:16:07
Oh, well.
:16:16
My compliments to cook.
:16:18
What a lovely piece of crackling.
:16:22
I'm sure you said something witty.
Share it with the rest of us.
:16:27
I said the sprouts is done the way
I like them. Crisp-like, not mushy.
:16:31
Sprouts "are" done, not " is" done.
:16:34
Isn't that right, George?
:16:35
Yes, Mr. Stevens.
:16:37
Forgive the correction,
as I would have done...
:16:40
...at your age for the sake
of my education.
:16:43
I'm sure even you have ambitions
to rise in your profession.
:16:48
Oh, yes. I want to be
a butler, to be called Mister...
:16:52
...sit in my own pantry by my own fire,
smoking my cigar.
:16:56
I wonder if you realize what it takes
to be a great butler?
:16:59
Takes dignity, that's what it takes.
