:26:01
- Why did you ask me?
- I was curious also.
:26:03
To see whether you'd come.
And you did!
:26:06
I see you are quite as wilful
as you used to be.
:26:10
Far more. I have greatly improved.
I've had more experience.
:26:13
Too much experience can be
very dangerous, Mrs Cheveley.
:26:17
- Why don't you call me Laura?
- I don't like the name.
:26:20
- You used to adore it.
- Yes, that is why.
:26:23
To think...
:26:24
.. it was so nearly Laura Goring.
:26:26
It has a certain ring, don't you agree?
:26:29
- We were quite well suited.

:26:38

:26:39

that I'd all but forgotten you.
:26:48
I really must go.
I have a pressing engagement.
:26:51
Really? Well, as you know, I hate
to stand between a man and his affairs.
:27:08
- Bunbury, for goodness sake!
- I can't believe it.
:27:12
- You are a deserter!
- I didn't say I was getting married.
:27:15
I was debating the virtues
of the marital state.
:27:17
Short debate, sir!
:27:20
We're a dying breed, old man.
We must stick together.
:27:23
Would you excuse me, gentlemen?
Play the next hand without me.
:27:36
And now I think it's time
you knew the truth.
:27:40
That all these riches,...
:27:42
.. this wondrous luxury...
:27:46
.. amounts, finally, to nothing.
:27:49
That power...
:27:50
.. power...
:27:52
.. over other men...
:27:54
.. is the one and only thing worth having.
:27:58
This is what I call
the philosophy of power,...
