:17:00
Shh! Father!
:17:02
I only admit to 32.
:17:04
You are 36 and you must get a wife.
:17:07
Wife?!
:17:13
A shade lacklustre this morning, Chiltern.
:17:18
Mind on other matters,
I shouldn't wonder.
:17:23
I had that Cheveley woman
drive by the office last night.
:17:27
Really?
:17:28
Yes.
:17:30
Wanted me to write a piece...
:17:32
.. about this Argentine thing.
:17:35
Quite interesting, really.
:17:38
- Mentioned you.
- Did she?
:17:40
She did indeed.
:17:45
So what did she say?
:17:47
Oh, outlined the virtues of the scheme,
that sort of thing.
:17:50
Wouldn't be surprised
if she had shares in it.
:17:53
What did she say about me?
:17:55
About your speech on it.
Said I should be prepared for a surprise.
:17:59
Wouldn't say what.
:18:02
Can I take it
you've changed your position?
:18:15
I wonder what kind of a woman she is.
:18:17
Who?
:18:19
That woman - Mrs Cheveley.
:18:22
Smallish.
:18:25
So the question remains,
where to from there, hm?
:18:29
To the Hartlocks and the Basildons...
:18:32
.. or should we go straight
to the Bachelors' Ball?
:18:35
Arthur, I almost wish
I were you sometimes.
:18:38
I almost wish you were, too,...
:18:40
.. except you'd make something useful
out of my life and that would never do.
:18:45
You could always get married.
:18:47
It's the "always" bit that alarms me.
:18:51
I could see by the glare in his eye
he was about to do it again.
:18:55
Poor Mr Trafford.
:18:57
- It sounds quite serious.
- Oh, it is.
:18:59
He proposed to me in broad daylight...
