:33:00
.. had, years ago,
written some foolish letter to someone.
:33:04
What do you mean by a foolish letter?
:33:07
I mean, a letter
gravely compromising one's position.
:33:13
I'm putting an imaginary case, of course.
:33:15
I cannot help but feel, Arthur,
that you are wanting to tell me something.
:33:24
What I really want to say, dear Gertrude,
is that if for any reason...
:33:28
.. you are ever in trouble,...
:33:33
.. come to me at once and know that
I will help you in every way I can.
:33:37
Lord Goring,...
:33:39
.. you are talking quite seriously.
:33:42
Oh, you must forgive me,
it won't occur again.
:33:45
I like you to be serious.
:33:47
Gertrude, please don't say
such dreadful things to Lord Goring.
:33:51
Seriousness would be very unbecoming.
:33:53
Good morning.
Pray be as trivial as you can.
:33:56
I should like to, but I'm afraid
I'm a little out of practice this morning.
:34:00
Besides, I really ought to be going.
:34:02
Oh. Will you be there tonight?
:34:04
- I've received no invitation.
- Well, you have now.
:34:09
I'm sorry, Mabel,
I'm not in the mood for modern art.
:34:12
You don't mind, do you,
if Arthur escorts you in my place?
:34:15
As long as he promises
not to be too serious.
:34:18
I've observed a worrying trend.
:34:20
I swear on my life to be utterly trivial
and never to keep my word.
:34:24
- Then I shall be delighted.
- Then so shall I.
:34:27
My dear Gertrude, thank you.
:34:31
You will remember what I said,
won't you?
:34:34
Yes,... but I still don't know
why you said it.
:34:37
I hardly know myself.
:34:39
Goodbye, Miss Mabel.
:34:42
Lord Goring.
:34:45
Lord Goring... What dreadful manners
you have, leaving just as I arrive.
:34:50
- I'm sure you were badly brought up.
- Mm, I was.
:34:53
- I wish I had brought you up.
- I'm sorry you didn't.
:34:56
It is too late now, I suppose.
:34:58
I shouldn't think so for a moment.
