"Sir Robert Chiltern,
a rising star in Parliament,...
:01:07
.. tonight hosts a party that promises to be
the highlight of the social calendar...
:01:12
.. with his wife, Lady Gertrude,...
:01:14
.. who is herself a leading figure
in women's politics. "
:01:17
"Together this couple...
:01:19
.. represents what is best
in English public life...
:01:23
.. and is a noble contrast
to the lax morality...
:01:26
.. so common
amongst foreign politicians. "
:01:30
Dear oh dear. They will never say
that about me, will they, Phipps?
:01:34
I sincerely hope not, sir.
:01:37
Bit of a busy day today, I'm afraid.
:01:39
Distressingly little time
for sloth or idleness.
:01:42
- Sorry to hear it, sir.
- Not entirely your fault, Phipps.
:01:45
Not this time.
:01:49
Thank you, my lord.
:02:10
- Good morning, Tommy!
- Morning, Lady Chiltern.
:02:13
I very much look forward to this evening.
:02:15
- Miss Mabel.
- Tommy.
:02:18
I hope you can make
our usual appointment...
:02:20
.. as I have something very particular
I wish to say to you.
:02:24
Good day, ladies.
:02:27
When Tommy wants to be romantic,
he talks to one just like a doctor.
:02:31
Till tonight.
:02:34
- Miss Mabel.
- Lord Goring.
:02:39
Lord Goring!
:02:42
Countess, good morning.
:02:44
- Aren't you going to congratulate me?
- Congratulations.
:02:47
Aren't you going to ask what for?
:02:50
- What for?
- I've decided to get married.
:02:53
My God! Who to?
:02:55
That part... is still to be decided.
:02:58
Good morning, dear Gertrude.
