I've appointed him as my secretary
at the conference.

:35:05
He's been jolly thorough
in helping me to prepare.

:35:16
I realize this is a somewhat
irregular thing to ask you to do.

:35:21
I'd be glad to be of any assistance.
:35:23
I'm sorry to bring this up...
:35:25
...but I just can't see how on earth
to make it go away.

:35:30
You are familiar with
the facts of life?

:35:32
-My lord?
-The facts of life.

:35:35
Birds, bees.
You are familiar, aren't you?

:35:39
I'm afraid I don't quite follow you.
:35:41
Let me put my cards on the table.
:35:44
I'm so busy with this conference.
Of course, you are too...

:35:48
...but someone has to tell him.
:35:51
In a way, it would be easier for you.
:35:54
Less awkward.
:35:56
I'd find the task rather daunting,
I'm afraid.

:35:59
I might not get to it
before Reginald's wedding day.

:36:02
Of course, this goes far beyond
the call of duty.

:36:11
I shall do my best.
:36:12
I'd be grateful if you'd try.
lt'd be a lot off my mind.

:36:16
There's no need to make a song and
dance of it. Just convey the facts.

:36:38
God! Stevens!
:36:41
Sorry. Most sorry, sir...
:36:42
...but I do have something to convey
to you rather urgently.

:36:46
If I may, I'll come to the point.
:36:49
Perhaps you noticed this morning the
ducks and the geese by the pond?

:36:54
Ducks and geese?
I don't think so.

:36:57
Well, perhaps the birds
and the flowers, then...
