:15:06
the champagne now, my lord?
:15:08
thank you, Antoine.
:15:10
and for you, madame Lambert?
:15:12
I'd prefer beer but I mustn't,
:15:14
so I'll make do with bubbly.
:15:16
thank you.
:15:19
it's for you. open it.
:15:27
oh.
:15:28
it's a portrait of Clairon.
:15:30
she was a great actress,
:15:32
and I believe you
have many of her gifts.
:15:35
Charles, you are sweet.
:15:38
I thought you might like it.
:15:41
it's by way of being a parting present.
:15:43
you're going away?
:15:45
no. but I shan't be seeing you anymore.
:15:48
oh, Charles, not again.
:15:50
no. this is becoming a ritual. why?
:15:53
we have such a beautiful
friendship, Julia.
:15:56
it's unique in my
experience, but people talk.
:16:01
they don't understand.
:16:02
and even though we know the truth,
:16:05
if we go on seeing one another,
:16:07
there will be a terrible scandal.
:16:08
no, there won't.
:16:09
Michael and I lead separate lives.
:16:12
that's why we're so happily married.
:16:15
more or less.
:16:17
jumped-up little tart,
that's what she is.
:16:20
never stops acting, on-stage or off.
:16:22
she's just one big pose.
:16:25
dashed pretty.
:16:25
shut up, Rupert, don't
show your ignorance.
:16:29
I know all about her.
:16:31
we were both born
:16:31
in the channel islands, jersey.
:16:34
her father was our
doctor. a jersey doctor!
:16:38
you can't get more common than that.
:16:43
it's only common sense, darling.
:16:46
I don't want to lose you.
:16:48
I--I have few
friends. real friends.
:16:53
you're the only person in my life
:16:55
with whom I can be entirely myself.
:16:58
I'm terribly low at the moment.
