1:30:01
...of your remonstrations in time.
1:30:03
Yes, GG. Do you not agree with me
that this garment is rather vulgar?
1:30:07
I do, as it happens.
1:30:09
Mr Grossmith...
1:30:11
...kindly oblige me by removing your hat.
1:30:13
Why, sir? Are you ready for me?
1:30:15
Would that I were, sir!
1:30:17
I'll thank you not to refer
to my designs as vulgar, Mr Lely.
1:30:21
Mr Wilhelm, to my eyes, your designs
are not only vulgar but obscene!
1:30:26
- How dare you, sir?
- Strong words, Lely. What do you mean?
1:30:30
Mr Gilbert, I'm a respectably married man
and I love my wife dearly.
1:30:35
One of the few pleasures
she has enjoyed...
1:30:37
...since the untimely demise
of my beloved mother-in-law...
1:30:40
...has been to watch me
perform upon the stage.
1:30:43
But I am not prepared to allow her to
suffer the embarrassment of seeing me...
1:30:48
...flaunted before the public like a...
half-dressed performing dog!
1:30:54
You have my sympathies, Lely.
1:30:56
But, unfortunately,
your avocation as an actor...
1:30:59
...compels you on occasion to endure
the most ignominious indignities...
1:31:03
...as Grossmith will doubtless testify.
1:31:06
- Without question, sir.
- Mr Lely, let me be clear.
1:31:09
I will not alter
one stitch of your costume...
1:31:11
...to protect the sensibilities of your wife...
1:31:14
...your children or any other member
of your unfortunate family.
1:31:17
Mr Wilhelm, I would strongly advise
you not to speak of my family...
1:31:21
...in such a despicable manner!
1:31:23
Sir.
1:31:25
Will you remove your corset?
1:31:27
I beg your pardon?!
1:31:30
Kindly remove your corset, Mr Lely.
1:31:32
It'll spoil the hang of the cloth.
1:31:38
Mr Gilbert.
1:31:40
I never perform without my corset.
1:31:42
- What, never?
- I'm afraid not, sir.
1:31:46
Why not?
1:31:48
One cannot produce
the required vocal vigour...
1:31:51
...without the necessary
diaphragmatical support...
1:31:54
...that the corset affords.
1:31:56
Come, come, Lely.
This is not grand opera in Milan.
1:31:59
It is merely low burlesque in a small
theatre on the banks of the Thames.
