:13:03
And I take it you reject my offer?
:13:05
I fear I must...
:13:07
.. when, tempting as it seems,...
:13:09
.. in truth,...
:13:11
.. it's little more than blackmail.
:13:14
True.
:13:24
- Gertrude!
- Mabel.
:13:26
I... suddenly remembered
you were due to meet Arthur.
:13:29
At least somebody remembered.
:13:32
You mean he's not here either?
:13:36
Oh... strange.
:13:38
- Gertrude, are you quite well?
- Me? Yes, of course.
:13:43
No, I'm not at all.

Come now. We both know
how dearly he values his career.
:14:21
I look forward to him proving you wrong.
I anticipate it keenly.
:14:25
- In fact, I'd stake my shirt on it.
- Your shirt?
:14:28
Indeed, I'd probably wager
my entire wardrobe on his integrity.
:14:32
What confidence.
:14:33
Would you stake your liberty?
:14:36
My liberty?
:14:38
Mmm, a rather charming little idea
has sprung into my head...
:14:42
.. and, now I consider it, I discover it
to be a rather charming big idea.
:14:47
Go on.
:14:49
If, as you suggest,
he stands by his principles...
:14:52
.. and condemns the scheme,...
