:02:00
They'll come to dinner next Friday.
:02:02
l just had a radio from them on the boat.
:02:05
Wasn't that brilliant of me,
getting the Ferncliffes?

:02:08
Yes, that was very brilliant of you,
if you want the Ferncliffes.

:02:12
But l do. You remember them, darling.
:02:15
They entertained us in London.
:02:17
l remember them well,
and very dull it was, too.

:02:22
Australian mutton...
:02:24
and a lot of people
who'd been buried for years...

:02:27
and got up just to eat that mutton.
:02:30
You don't realize
how important it is, Oliver.

:02:32
Everybody will be after them.
:02:34
l thought you and Ferncliffe
had lots in common.

:02:37
lsn't he interested in shipping, too?
:02:39
Mr. Oliver Jordan accepts.
:02:42
Of course, it's terribly short notice.
:02:48
Thank you, Gustave.
:02:50
Let's see. Lord and Lady Ferncliffe...
:02:52
the Talbots: the Doctor and Lucy.
:02:55
l saw that your precious Carlotta Vance
arrived on the Europa yesterday.

:03:00
Carlotta? Fine, let's have her.
:03:03
Of course, she goes with a different crowd
than the Ferncliffes over there.

:03:07
All those impossible fast people.
At her age, too.

:03:10
Nonsense. Carlotta has no age.
:03:14
Oliver, just because she was once
your favorite actress.

:03:23
Dad, l thought you'd gone.
:03:25
Well, if it isn't her ladyship.
:03:28
Don't look at me, l'm a sight.
Didn't sleep a wink.

:03:31
l thought l heard you moving around
in your room.

:03:35
Couldn't you sleep, either?
:03:37
- Nerves?
- l don't know. l suppose so.

:03:41
Say, pips,
there isn't anything really wrong, is there?

:03:46
Now, how can the shipping business go on
if the owner's tie isn't straight?

:03:57
Paula, l'll want you and Ernest
for dinner next Friday.
