:17:03
Why, it's better than living in a club...
:17:05
so don't you go thinking
there's no social activity.
:17:08
- There's more social activity that goes on...
- All right, Peter.
:17:11
I was only trying to welcome
a new member.
:17:14
Thank you very much.
:17:15
It's the finest club in the world,
founded by John's father...
:17:18
old Tom Wiley, the Governor.
God bless him.
:17:25
I'd like to hear more about the Governor.
:17:26
He was the biggest-hearted man
that ever trod this earth.
:17:29
All his good fortune
he shared with his friends.
:17:32
You could talk for a month
and never come to the end of the stories...
:17:35
about the Governor. He was a legend.
:17:37
He's been dead for many years, Mrs. Wiley,
but that's a legend, too.
:17:41
The truth is he's much more alive today
than ever he was.
:17:44
Let's drink to the Governor!
:17:45
- To the Governor!
- To the Governor!
:17:51
Let's go in to dinner. It's no use
waiting for Carver. He's always late.
:17:56
- You've met Dick Carver?
- No, I haven't.
:17:58
Not a bad type. A bit unsociable.
Not one of us, eh, John?
:18:02
He works, which is more than you do.
With him on the job, I can retire.
:18:05
You? Retire? Never.
:18:07
Not until you're lying out there
beside your Governor.
:18:14
- That chair's been vacant far too long.
- Yes.
:18:34
- How did you find things in England, John?
- A bit battered, very rationed.
:18:38
I hope they ease up
on their wartime restrictions soon.
:18:41
But, darling,
things really have eased quite a lot.
:18:44
I can't imagine what they were like before.
:18:47
Then I shan't put a blight
on this wonderful dinner by telling you.
:18:51
Good evening, everybody.
I'm sorry I'm late, John.
:18:53
Dick, this is my wife. Dick Carver, Ruth.
:18:58
Well, hello. If I had known,
I would have had the flags out.
