:05:02
But I would like to be useful again.
:05:12
-Burned again?
-Yes, I'm sorry, sir.

:05:15
The rule in the kitchen
has always been...

:05:18
...cook cooks the cooked breakfast
while her assistant toasts the toast.

:05:23
Why don't we get her a pop-up toaster?
:05:26
We need not a new gadget
but a revised staff plan, sir.

:05:30
A staff plan, huh?
I didn't know we had one.

:05:33
A faulty one, unfortunately.
:05:37
Sir, quite recently...
:05:39
...you were kind enough to suggest
that I go on a little holiday trip...

:05:44
...around the country.
:05:46
Absolutely. Certainly, take a break.
See the world.

:05:49
Thank you, sir.
:05:51
When did you last see the world?
:05:55
The world always used to come
to this house, if I may say so.

:06:00
You may say so.
:06:02
Take off when I'm in London next week.
:06:06
I tell you what, you take the car.
:06:08
-Take the Daimler.
-Good Lord, sir, I couldn't.

:06:11
You and that Daimler belong together.
:06:13
You were made for each other.
:06:15
That's most kind of you,
I must say, sir. Most kind.

:06:19
I'd meant to travel the West, where l
understand we have splendid scenery.

:06:24
And I might incidentally be able
to solve our problems while I'm there.

:06:28
A former housekeeper, at present
living in Clevedon, has indicated...

:06:33
...that she might be prepared
to return to service.

:06:36
What's this, your girlfriend?
:06:38
Or a former attachment?
:06:40
Oh, no, sir.
:06:42
No, but a very able housekeeper.
:06:45
A most able housekeeper.
:06:48
I was just kidding, Stevens.
:06:51
Sorry.
:06:54
You know what I like best
about your papers?

:06:57
These obituaries.
:06:59
Every son of a gun gets
this stately funeral oration.
