How did you guess?
:58:05
Cordelia. You're practising the carry.
:58:11
Light?
:58:12
Lighter than you.
:58:14
That work in performance?
:58:16
In performance, I carry a real woman.
:58:18
A former seamstress from Sheffield
twice my size.

:58:22
So, what do you want?
:58:25
Er, I want another go at the death scene.
:58:27
Can't. The Crown
would close me down if I did.

:58:30
- Tommy...
- You cost me the Palace's support.

:58:33
You refused to act with women
:58:34
on the day the King's mistress,
a mistress desirous of a career on stage,

:58:39
was watching.
:58:40
Besides, the company's full up.
:58:43
You weren't the only actor
cut loose by the law.

:58:46
The town's full of your sort now.
:58:49
Mr Betterton.
:58:51
Time to see the Gonerils.
:58:54
Happy days
:59:01
Tommy, is she...?
:59:05
Is she good?
:59:07
The Hughes?
:59:09
As an actress?
:59:17
She's a star.
:59:21
She did what she did first.
:59:23
You did what you did last.
:59:52
Good God.
:59:55
- You'll poach in that.
- Would Your Grace like me to disrobe?

:59:58
Quiet. This isn't the place.
