1:17:01
The usual palm tree.
1:17:04
And then we'll see how you do.
1:17:07
Usual?
1:17:10
Well, sir, what are you doing here?
1:17:12
Wasting your time, as usual.
1:17:15
My dear father, when one pays a visit,...
1:17:18
.. it is for the purpose
of wasting other people's time.
1:17:21
- Why are you here?
- I've important news for Chiltern.
1:17:27
- A seat in the Cabinet!
- You well deserve it, too.
1:17:30
You have got what we want so much
in political life - high character,...
1:17:35
.. high moral tone, high principles.
1:17:37
Everything that you have not got, sir,
and never will have.
1:17:51
I...
1:17:52
.. cannot accept this offer,
Lord Caversham.
1:17:56
I have decided to decline it.
1:17:58
Decline it, sir?
1:18:00
It is my intention to retire at once
from public life.
1:18:04
Decline a seat in the Cabinet and retire?
1:18:06
I never heard such damned nonsense
in the course of my existence!
1:18:11
I beg your pardon. Will you prevent
your husband from making such a...
1:18:15
I think my husband is right.
I agree with him.
1:18:19
You agree?
1:18:20
- Good heavens!
- I admire him for it.
1:18:24
I admire him immensely for it.
1:18:28
I shall write at once...
1:18:30
.. to the Prime Minister.
1:18:32
If you'll excuse me for a moment,
Lord Caversham.
1:18:35
Lord Caversham.
1:18:39
What is the matter with this family?
1:18:43
There's something wrong here, eh?
1:18:45
Idiocy? Hereditary, perhaps.
Both of them, too.
1:18:50
Very sad indeed.
1:18:52
They're not an old family.
1:18:56
Can't understand it.
1:18:57
I suppose I'd better go back
to the Prime Minister...
