Barry Lyndon

2:01:01

And what of those excellent boys
of yours?

2:01:03

They're well. Charles has gone to sea
under Captain Geary on the Ramillies.

2:01:07

John has gone to Oxford to learn
how to preach and pray.

2:01:11

Good, good!

2:01:13

Your Majesty, may I present
Mr. Barry Lyndon.

2:01:16

Mr. Lyndon. We were very fond
of Sir Charles Lyndon.

2:01:19

And how is Lady Lyndon?

2:01:21

She's very well, Your Majesty.

2:01:23

Mr. Lyndon raised a company of troops
to fight in America against the rebels.

2:01:28

Good, Mr. Lyndon. Raise another company
and go with them, too.

2:01:44

Barry was born clever enough
at gaining a fortune...

2:01:49

...but incapable of keeping one.

2:01:52

For the qualities and energies
which lead a man to achieve the first...

2:01:56

...are often the very cause of his ruin
in the latter case.

2:02:01

Now he was burdened with
the harassing cares and responsibilities...

2:02:06

...which are the dismal adjuncts
of great rank and property.

2:02:10

And his life now...

2:02:12

...seemed to consist mostly of drafts
of letters to lawyers and money-brokers...

2:02:17

...and endless correspondence...

2:02:18

...with decorators and cooks.

2:02:44

Gentlemen, I'm going to leave you for
a few minutes. Carry on with your work.

2:02:49

Yes, sir.
