Maurice.
:38:10
I brought John.
You said I might.
:38:12
Did I? And did
you say you would?
:38:15
Yes.
Well, come in.
:38:18
- Maurice Charlton.
- J-John Bayley.
:38:26
Isn't it hot?
:38:28
Yes, it is.
:38:29
I've got just the thing
will cool.
:38:35
I imagine
your friend Maurice
:38:37
is hoping to have
his wicked will, is he?
:38:39
Not today is he.
:38:50
You and I are much the same age,
aren't we, John?
:38:53
Yeah, I-I think so.
:38:55
Does it matter?
:38:56
No.
:38:58
This is not important,
i-is it?
:39:00
What Maurice means
is that most of my real...
:39:02
my "other" friends
are older than me.
:39:05
Much older.
:39:07
Yes, and there's
a very good reason for that,
:39:09
isn't there?
:39:10
Is there? What?
:39:12
She likes people
with a bit of a past.
:39:15
She uses them...
don't you?
:39:17
No, I don't.
:39:18
For your novel.
Don't you, Iris?
:39:20
- I-I haven't read it.
- Haven't you?
:39:23
Neither have you, Maurice,
so don't play games.
:39:26
Nobody has read it.
:39:28
The gentle lady hasn't yet
bestowed her favour on anyone.
:39:32
I-Iris doesn't like
to talk about it.
:39:34
I know that, too, Iris.
:39:35
That's because it's full
of people she knows...
:39:38
All these masters of thought
you're so chummy with.
:39:41
Bound to be.
We all know.
:39:44
Isn't it, Iris?
:39:46
No, it isn't, but you can
think what you like.
:39:49
You know nothing about it.
Nobody knows but me.
:39:51
And... I'm not telling.
:39:53
I thought
it was a secret.
:39:55
I mean, I know Iris
doesn't want it talked about.
:39:57
Come on, Iris.
:39:59
I'm sure we'll all
recognise ourselves.
