I haven't time
to be idling around here all day.

:37:03
I should be idling somewhere else shortly
or I shall fall behind.

:37:07
No, I'll see myself out.
:37:09
No doubt you have
many pleasant reminiscences...

:37:12
-.. of your schooldays to talk over.
- Goodbye.

:37:16
Goodbye, my dear.
:37:21
Wonderful woman, Lady Markby,
isn't she?

:37:24
Talks more and says less
than anybody I ever met.

:37:27
- Now, Gertrude...
- Mrs Cheveley,...

:37:30
.. I think it is right to tell you...
:37:33
.. that I wish you never to return
to this house again...

:37:36
.. and never to attempt
to contact my husband.

:37:39
I see that after all these years
you've not changed.

:37:42
- I hope I never will.
- Life has taught you nothing.

:37:45
A person who has once been guilty...
:37:48
.. of a dishonest action may be guilty
a second time and should be shunned.

:37:52
Would you apply that rule to everyone?
:37:56
Yes, without exception.
:37:58
Then I am sorry for you, Gertrude,
very sorry for you.

:38:01
I thank you for your sympathy,...
:38:05
.. but it is your departure I would prefer.
:38:09
Gertrude, I don't mind
your talking morality.

:38:12
Morality is simply the attitude we adopt
towards people whom we dislike.

:38:16
You dislike me, I am aware of that,
and I have always detested you.

:38:21
And yet I have come here
to give you some advice.

:38:24
I hold your husband
in the hollow of my hand...

:38:27
.. and if you are wise
you'll make him do what I tell him.

:38:31
How dare you class my husband
with yourself!

:38:35
Leave my house! You are unfit to enter it!
:38:39
Your house? A house
bought with the price of dishonour,...

:38:43
.. everything paid for by fraud.
:38:47
Ask him what the origin of his fortune is.
:38:49
Get him to tell you how he sold
to a stockbroker a Cabinet secret.

:38:54
Learn from him
to what you owe your position.

:38:58
It is not true!
