:24:00
How could I possibly forget?
:24:04
I love your play.
:24:06
The audience didn't know whether
you meant your jokes or not.
:24:09
You shocked them -
:24:11
especially with your speech.
:24:12
But the more
frivolous you seem,
:24:14
the more serious
you are, aren't you?
:24:17
I love that.
:24:18
Thank you. I always say,
:24:20
the young are the only critics
:24:22
with enough experience
to judge my work.
:24:24
We need shocking.
People are so banal.
:24:27
And you use your wit
like a foil -
:24:30
you cut through all those
starched shirt-fronts.
:24:33
You draw blood.
It's magnificent.
:24:36
I wish you'd draw some blood
down in Oxford.
:24:39
Though you'd need a miracle.
:24:40
All the dons at my college
have dust in their veins!
:24:43
At which college
do you educate the fellows?
:24:46
Magdalen.
:24:47
My own college.
:24:49
Well, I shall claim
the privilege of a graduate
:24:52
and come and take
tutorials with you.
:24:55
Come soon, then.
:24:56
They're threatening
to send me down.
:24:58
How could they be so cruel
:25:00
to one so beautiful?
:25:07
Dons.
:25:08
They're so middle-class.
:25:10
My dear Oscar,
:25:11
you've shocked London,
smoking on stage like that.
:25:14
Excellent!
We shall run for a year.
:25:16
You must say something
to Marion Terry.
:25:18
She was good, wasn't she?
:25:20
So good, she wrote
most of the lines herself.
:25:22
Excuse me, Lord Alfred.
:25:24
Bosie, please.
:25:26
Bosie.
:25:30
You must
be so thrilled, Oscar.
:25:33
I know!
Isn't that humiliating?
:25:35
"'My own garden is
my own garden, said the giant.
:25:40
"So he built a high wall
all round it
:25:44
"and put up a noticeboard.
:25:46
"'Trespassers
will be prosecuted. '
:25:48
"He was a very selfish giant.
:25:50
"The poor children
had now nowhere to play.
:25:53
"They tried to play
on the road
:25:55
"but the road was very dusty
and full of hard stones
:25:58
"and they did not like it.
