:43:00
You all right?
:43:02
I'm perfectly all right.
:43:03
Not feeling unwell, are you?
:43:06
A little tired, perhaps.
:43:08
I bet you're tired.
What is it, about 1 :00?
:43:11
Come on.
:43:12
I want you to sit down.
:43:14
Well, sir, I really--
:43:23
I didn't come here by accident.
:43:25
You know that.
:43:27
I had a tip-off, you see...
:43:29
...about what's going on now
in the library.
:43:34
I wish you'd sit down.
I'm your friend...
:43:37
...and you're holding that tray
as if you're about to wander off!
:43:41
Now, come on.
Sit down, damn it!
:43:46
That's better.
:43:49
Now, look, I don't suppose the prime
minister is in the library, is he?
:43:53
Prime minister, sir?
:43:56
In the library--
You don't have to confirm it--
:43:58
--are our prime minister, our foreign
secretary and the German ambassador.
:44:04
-Any idea what they're talking about?
-I'm afraid not.
:44:07
Tell me, Stevens,
don't you care at all?
:44:10
Aren't you in the least bit curious?
:44:12
It's not my place to be curious
about such matters.
:44:15
Not your place.
:44:17
And supposing I told you
that His Lordship...
:44:20
...is trying to persuade
the prime minister...
:44:22
...to enter into a pact with that
bunch of criminals in Berlin?
:44:26
I'm certain His Lordship is acting
from the highest and noblest motives.
:44:30
Don't you see? That's exactly
what makes it so abominable!
:44:33
Twisting these high and noble
motives to their own foul ends!
:44:38
You do, please, realize
that His Lordship's been the most...
:44:41
...valuable pawn that the Nazis
have in this country...
:44:45
...precisely because he is good
and honourable?
:44:48
If I weren't so drunk,
I could make you understand!
:44:52
Sir...
:44:54
...l do understand.
:44:56
His Lordship is working
to ensure peace in our time.
:44:59
Peace in our time
on their beastly terms!
