:32:00
You just had to bring along
some small token of opulence.

:32:03
I don't want them.
:32:06
You Yanks can't even show affection
without buying something.

:32:09
Don't get into a state over it.
I thought you liked chocolates.

:32:12
I do! But my country's at war...
:32:14
and we're doing without chocolates
for a while.

:32:16
I don't want oranges or eggs
or soap flakes, either.

:32:19
Don't show me how profitable it'll be
to fall in love with you, Charlie.

:32:23
Don't Americanize me.
:32:29
That's my father.
He lost a leg in the first war.

:32:33
Got the Victoria Cross for that.
:32:36
He died in an air raid a week after
that portrait was painted.

:32:40
That's my brother, there.
:32:42
His name was Charlie, too, by the way.
:32:44
He was shot down during the blitz.
:32:47
Sacrificed himself to save his squadron.
:32:51
The one you're looking at now
is my husband.

:32:54
He looks like a rake.
:32:57
Yes. He was very bawdy.
:32:59
I was insane about him.
:33:01
He died at Tobruk.
:33:04
The rest of the lot there are cousins.
:33:07
There's two of them still living.
:33:09
I must say the family's been thinned out
nicely one way or another.

:33:14
Charlie, before we go out to my mum,
I must tell you...

:33:18
she's a bit mad.
:33:19
You'll like her very much.
She's very funny.

:33:21
But she may yatter away
about my father and my brother...

:33:24
as though they were still alive.
:33:26
Just go along with her.
Do you understand?

:33:29
I understand.
You don't want my Hershey bars.

:33:33
I think it profane to enjoy this war.
:33:38
I never realized what a sensual
satisfaction grieving is for women.

:33:42
I'm not sure that's a very tasteful thing
for you to say.

:33:45
I'm not sentimental about war.
I see nothing noble in widows.

:33:50
You're jealous of my husband. I like that.
