It's too late to telegraph
the Mrs Temple now.
2:03:04
What'll you do?
2:03:06
I suppose I shall toddle across the river
to my mother's. She never sleeps.
2:03:14
There's g'aye few like us...
2:03:17
...and they're all dead.
2:03:20
My father used to say that.
2:03:22
Laughter.
2:03:24
Tears.
2:03:26
Curtain.
2:03:38
- Good afternoon, Bovill.
- Good afternoon, Mr Gilbert.
2:03:41
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon, Miss Russell.
2:03:44
Good afternoon, Rhys... Good heavens!
2:03:47
- Afternoon, Mr Gilbert.
- Good afternoon.
2:03:49
- Might you, er... spare us a moment?
- Of course, we're here to rehearse!
2:03:53
- Please, Mr Gilbert, sir.
- Yes, Price, what is it?
2:03:56
- We, er...
- Hmm?!
2:04:00
The... ladies and gentlemen
of the chorus...
2:04:04
Yes?
2:04:06
Concerning Mr Temple's song, sir.
2:04:11
Ah, the Mikado's song.
2:04:14
Yes, sir.
2:04:15
What of that mercifully
released aberration?
2:04:17
- We all consider it... a very fine song, sir.
- Indeed we do.
2:04:22
Gratifying, I'm sure.
2:04:24
That must be a matter of opinion,
mustn't it, Price?
2:04:27
Well, yes, Mr Gilbert,
but we believe it a great loss.
2:04:31
- Do you?
- Yes, sir.
2:04:34
Especially after all our
extremely hard work.
2:04:37
And, of course, Mr Temple.
2:04:39
I'm really very sorry for you,
but as we all know, it's an unjust world.
2:04:43
We all feel it would have been
of great benefit to the opera.
2:04:47
And that perhaps
the audience should decide.
2:04:49
Is this the considered opinion of you all?
2:04:52
It is, sir.
2:04:53
- I am not party to this, Mr Gilbert.
- Ah, Mr Kent.
2:04:57
As ever, the sole voice of reason.
