:05:00
That you're a very personable man
with a most attractive personality,...
:05:05
.. and you have brought into British politics
an honesty and integrity...
:05:09
A nobler atmosphere, a finer attitude...
:05:12
And higher ideals.
:05:14
One mustn't believe everything
one reads in the newspapers.
:05:18
Yes, in the old days we had the rack.
Nowadays we have the press.
:05:22
Your own newspaper being
the notable exception, Sir Edward.
:05:26
Where truth shines out like a beacon
and lies run vainly for the shadows.
:05:31
Bravo, Lady Chiltern!
:05:33
Do I detect in your conversation
a lyricism...
:05:36
.. not uncommon in your husband's
excellent speeches?
:05:40
If you are suggesting that my position
owes anything to my wife,...
:05:44
.. you are mistaken.
It owes everything to my wife.
:05:47
I demand that you make it known!
Without her, I am entirely unexceptional.
:05:52
And without her love,...
:05:55
.. I'm nothing.
:05:59
All I know is, a serious shake-up
in the government looks inevitable now.
:06:04
The Prime Minister himself
was asking about you this morning.
:06:08
Really? Probably afraid
you'd be taking his job!
:06:11
Lady Markby, Mrs Cheveley.
:06:20
Oh, my dear,...
:06:21
.. if I had a jewel for every staring eye!
:06:24
I'm glad to say, Lady Markby,
you evidently do!
:06:27
Excuse me.
Chère madame, quelle surprise!
:06:30
Lady Markby.
:06:32
- I have not seen you since Berlin.
- Five years ago, Vicomte.
:06:36
You are younger and more beautiful
than ever. How do you manage it?
:06:40
By making it a rule only to talk
to charming people like yourself.
:06:44
Mrs Cheveley.
:06:46
What do we know about her?
:06:48
Very influential in Vienna -
in the highest circles.
:06:51
A force to be reckoned with.
:06:54
And are you staying in London long?
:06:56
That depends on the weather,
the cooking,...
:06:59
.. and partly on your brother.
