:01:03
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
:01:05
The boy's on the run, so he turns defensive.
What am l, then?
:01:08
Wicked little bastard.
He knew exactly what questions to try.
:01:11
Not that there's anything awful about that.
:01:14
Advanced neurotics can be dazzling at that.
:01:16
They aim unswervingly
at your area of maximum vulnerability...
:01:21
which is, l suppose, as good a way as any
of describing Margaret.
:01:25
Now, stop it.
:01:26
-Do l embarrass you?
-l suspect you're about to.
:01:29
My wife doesn't understand me, Your Honor.
:01:32
Do you understand her?
:01:35
No.
:01:37
Obviously, l never did.
:01:40
l'm sorry.
:01:43
l never like to ask.
:01:45
But l always imagined
you weren't exactly compatible.
:01:48
We were. lt actually worked for a bit.
:01:51
l mean, for both of us.
:01:53
She, for me, through a kind of...
:01:55
briskness...
:01:56
a clear, redheaded, inaccessible briskness
that kept me keyed up for months.
:02:02
Mind you, if you're kinky
for northern hygiene which l am...
:02:05
you can hardly find anything more
compelling than a Scottish lady dentist.
:02:08
lt's you who are wicked, you know.
:02:11
Not at all.
:02:12
She got exactly the same from me.
Antiseptic proficiency.
:02:16
l was like that in those days.
:02:18
l see us in our wedding photograph...
:02:21
Dr. and Dr. MacBrisk.
:02:23
We were brisk in our wooing, brisk in
our wedding, brisk in our disappointment.
:02:27
We turned from each other briskly
into our separate surgeries.
:02:31
And now, there's a nice, brisk nothing.
:02:35
You never had children, did you?
:02:41
No.
:02:43
We did not go in for them.
:02:48
lnstead she sits and knits things
for orphans in some home...
:02:51
and l sit opposite turning over the pages
of books on mythical Greece.
:02:55
Mentally, we're in different parts
of the world.
:02:58
She's forever in some drizzly chapel
of her own inheriting...
