:30:00
I entered straight into Parliament
and I've...
:30:03
Well, I've never looked back.
:30:06
Is it fair that some act of youthful folly...
:30:09
.. should be brought up against me
all these years later?
:30:12
Robert, life is never fair!
:30:15
Perhaps it's a good thing
for most of us that it's not.
:30:18
Now, what does Gertrude
make of all this?
:30:24
Robert.
:30:27
My dear Robert,
secrets from other people's wives...
:30:31
.. are a necessary luxury in modern life.
:30:34
But no man should have a secret
from his own wife.
:30:37
She invariably finds it out.
:30:39
If I were to tell her, Arthur, I would lose
the love of the one woman I worship.
:30:44
I couldn't tell her,...
:30:45
.. but it... did strike me
that perhaps you might...
:30:51
Go on.
:30:52
Well, perhaps you might...
:30:54
.. talk with her.
:30:56
- Oh, really?
- Not to tell her, of course.
:30:59
But... just to talk with her.
:31:03
I see.
:31:05
It's just that Gertrude can sometimes
be a little... hard-headed.
:31:09
You are her oldest... and closest friend...
:31:12
.. and I just thought talking
with you might perhaps...
:31:16
- Soften her head a little.
- Mmm.
:31:18
Well, it has been known.
:31:24
Thank you, Lady Chiltern,
that was most inspiring.
:31:27
Oh, I'm so glad.
:31:31
Wonderful speech!
:31:38
Well, I must say, Arthur,...
:31:40
.. I'm delighted to find you showing
such a keen interest in women's politics.
:31:45
Oh, yes, very keen.
:31:47
I had a bit of a late night last night.
:31:49
So I gather. I'm so glad to see you.
:31:52
- Are you?
- Yes.
:31:53
I wanted to talk to you about Robert.
:31:55
Really?
:31:57
He seems a little distracted of late,
a little anxious.
