:35:04
- A seat in the Cabinet!
- You well deserve it, too.
:35:07
You have got what we want so much
in political life - high character,...
:35:11
.. high moral tone, high principles.
:35:14
Everything that you have not got, sir,
and never will have.
:35:27
I...
:35:28
.. cannot accept this offer,
Lord Caversham.
:35:32
I have decided to decline it.
:35:34
Decline it, sir?
:35:36
It is my intention to retire at once
from public life.
:35:40
Decline a seat in the Cabinet and retire?
:35:43
I never heard such damned nonsense
in the course of my existence!
:35:47
I beg your pardon. Will you prevent
your husband from making such a...
:35:51
I think my husband is right.
I agree with him.
:35:55
You agree?
:35:57
- Good heavens!
- I admire him for it.
:36:00
I admire him immensely for it.
:36:04
I shall write at once...
:36:06
.. to the Prime Minister.
:36:08
If you'll excuse me for a moment,
Lord Caversham.
:36:12
Lord Caversham.
:36:16
What is the matter with this family?
:36:19
There's something wrong here, eh?
:36:21
Idiocy? Hereditary, perhaps.
Both of them, too.
:36:26
Very sad indeed.
:36:28
They're not an old family.
:36:32
Can't understand it.
:36:34
I suppose I'd better go back
to the Prime Minister...
:36:36
.. and tell him Chiltern won't take the seat.
:36:39
Not yet. I'd rather you took a seat yourself.
:36:42
- What are you prattling on about?
- Go in there for a while, Father.
:36:46
Second palm tree to the right.
The usual palm tree.
:36:50
- I want you to talk to somebody.
- What about?
:36:53
About me, sir, hmm?
:36:56
Not a subject on which
much eloquence is possible.
