All language subtitles for On Approval (1982) 4[English]

I walk up that hill because Mariah wants

to read don't be

funny there's a book in this house that

you should read do you know what it is

no the Bible what do you know about the

Bible more than you think I do it's full

of examples to selfish women and if for

selfish men yes read about Judas and

you'll find he was the type of fellow

who was too lazy to bring his friend the

times do you know you're very nearly an

idiot am I Helen will you walk if you

mean it George I don't understand so

often after I've taken the trouble to

change my clothes you've changed your

mind oh no no no I mean to walk very

well I was right when I told you to you

didn't look at all

well

[Laughter]

oh may I take part in the joke certainly

not oh I met the telegraph boy coming up

the hill he gave me this telegram for

you h thank you don't you open telegrams

not the ones I sent to myself what do

you send yourself one for tell me your

joke and I'll tell you very well well

when Helen said to me you don't look at

all

well I thought she said tell her to go

to

hell I'll have you know Richard that my

fiance is not in the habit of using that

type of language your fiance are you and

heren going to be married yes we are I

feel feel hurt I I think she ought have

told me oh she couldn't she doesn't know

herself yet what do you mean you may

have thought I've been wasting my time

here I haven't I've been watching her

very carefully and I've come to the

profound conclusion that she is in every

way a fit person to be the Duchess of

Bristol oh I agree she has the

disadvantage of having no family behind

her as it were her father unfortunately

was only a prickle maker but she is by

nature a lady and as I have to marry I'd

rather marry her than anyone that I know

although I realize first my family will

strongly disapprove oh I don't see why

Helen's one of the nicest women in the

world oh yes I

agree he you didn't tell me you got any

cigars I only brought 50 consequently I

only smoked them when you weren't here

you mean devil only where cigars are

concerned now to

continue I resolved to play my

part in addition to the position I'm

giving her I am going to compel myself

to make her a good and faithful husband

very kind of you let me tell you this

it's a most unusual thing in our family

I suppose there's no doubt that she'll

want to marry you leaving me out of

it are you suggesting that there's a

woman in England who would refuse to be

the Duchess of Bristol oh no that's true

don't be childish that isn't a mother

with an eligible daughter who won't read

the news with pain true true the relief

Richard of having made up one's mind is

considerable I can now return to London

the same careless fellow that you've

always known hence that telegram I'm

required in London immediately I think I

deserve a few days Amusement is Helen

returning with you no she'll return with

you and Mariah if you care to wait until

tomorrow I may be able to come with you

what are you going to leave the old

George Mara is expecting two more

servants tomorrow and um if they come

there'll be nothing more than I can do

for her you're through with her the

reverse she's through with me did she

say so every time she speaks to me I get

on her nerves George the poor dear

simply can't bear me it's a Pity and I'm

sorry but there it is don't be a fool

she's always like this oh George I've

known Mariah all my life I've never

known her like this leave her and Come

Away with me tonight oh no certainly not

nothing would induce me to leave her so

long as I can be of use to her it's

Noble I call

it ah an idea the moment I married

Richard you can make our house your home

home oh thank you George let f it

Charming of you and I'll go further my

word I am a good

friend I should insist on Helen making

you a smaller Liv oh certainly not oh

very well but never forget that I made

you a damn good offer an offer you

should be ashamed of well I'm not I'm

what an American friend of mine would

call a farseeing son of a

gun it's a nice cigar Richard

very I have very expensive but very

pleasant memories of women Richard and

I've only loved one woman all my life

it's a

Pity you've missed a good deal oh it's

fun while it

lasts do you know I've always believed

did you know Molly uh just uh my

word she was

expensive but she was a very a sweet

woman I like

money very much

[Music]

games a no peace in this

[Music]

house that is very very

interesting sorry BR you you you

frightened me I was asleep really you

know how one says things when one's half

unconscious perfectly the last person I

was married to was frequently in that

situation and I found that was the only

time he spoke the

truth but you know I didn't mean it then

why is it but good Heavens woman surely

call me a woman and don't shout at me

I'm not there and if you must smoke

cigars which I told you I hate you might

at all events try not to drop your Ash

on the carpet get something and clear it

up yes daring

there's another little bit

here

Richard I am sorry your afternoon sleep

was disturbed by me very

sorry that I think was put the lid on

it what would you advise me to do I've

always resolved never to be concerned at

an inquest she's a most unreasonable

woman I'd never known her like

this I've always believed when I came

away with her that she liked me it's a

it's a great

pity anything the matter yes there is

rather being a little tired I I

unfortunately fell asleep Mari woke me

with great suddenness by playing the

gramophone with the result that I

unhappily inquired if there was no

damned peace in the house was she hurt

or angry Richard dear hurt I think I

expect

so I could kick myself

what do you think the best thing is to

do tell her to go to hell h e l Helen

you don't understand believe me I do

Richard

darling there's one of the sweetest men

I've ever known are you ready George ah

H the sun's gone you mean you don't want

to walk well of course I want to walk

but I'm thinking it's you entirely the

sun's gone and incidentally i' Helen

I've had some very bad news from London

I'm sorry it means you'll have to leave

for London at once I'm sure I thought of

every conceivable way of avoiding it but

alas there is just no way I shall

literally have to tear myself away

tonight I'm sorry so we don't walk if

you don't mind too much not at all I

understand that's what I like about you

Helen you do understand I hope you'll

always think so George dear I Shall

Believe me and you don't mind cigars I

like

them Miss

hail Helen

I anxious to tell you

something which I have given

considerable thought to please

do I hope you won't think that it's the

impulse of Youth or the lack of much

consideration I won't George dear there

is only one lady in the world whom I

would ask to be the Duchess of Bristol

that's very interesting

George and if you will ask me who she is

I will tell you who is she George

you

Helen I'm very touched and very

flattered and

I'm very

happy thank you George

dear and I would like to tell you that I

suppose in the whole world there is only

one woman who would refuse to be the

Duchess of Bristol and if you will ask

me who she is I'll tell you

um remember who is it me George

darling do I hear

correctly but you're refusing my offer

to M your hearing is perfect you

refuse you refuse to be the Duchess of

Bristol I

do I ask why only because you are the

Duke George only

because

hen Helen are you insulting me not

nearly as much as you have insulted me

may I ask why you should have only asked

me for my money you should not have

included me with you are you suggesting

that I only ask you to be my wife

because of your money but didn't you I

indignantly emphatically denied then

tell me the color of my

eyes brown

look blue so that was easily settled I

do hope it won't mean you're having to

send yourself another telegram George

and I thought all this time that you

liked me 3 weeks ago I adored you if

you'd ask me to marry you run away with

you without marrying you if you'd asked

me anything I would have done it I

adored you so much then why won't you

now I've been alone with you for 3 weeks

well and I realize you're charming until

one gets used to you to look at but

nothing else it's been my greatest

disappointment I died on you is is that

it the second day the

second indeed well that is not the

experience I've had with other women

believe me may I be frank I insist other

women who have known you have put up

with your bord and George until they got

the Family Jewels and then they left you

but my case is rather different I'm not

only asked to replace the Family Jewels

I'm asked to remain with the

boredom refuse my offer of marriage if

you like but don't be impertinent you

asked me to be

friend B

indeed I'll have you know I am invited

to dinner parties because I'm so amusing

a dinner party lasts 2 hours marriage

has been known to last two years but

you're not in that danger George I know

you won't believe this but there are

many women who would be delighted to

marry me I know there are many women who

would like to be the Duchess of Bristol

frankly I rather wanted to be myself

until I spent 3 weeks with you really

how

kind I know you hate being talked to

like this because you're unused to it

but your contribution to life George

darling is that you allowed your mother

to bring you into the world and having

done that you were quite satisfied that

everyone else who has been brought into

it is for the purpose of approving of

you I'm not aware of it of course you're

not I should be angry with you if you

were but take it from one who once

believed she loved you your conceit is

beyond imagination your selfishness has

no comparison

may I give you a word of advice it

depends Mary Mariah how dare you AR

you're being funny not at all but for

selfishness you both win the cup

outright she has money you'd have a

grand time you know if a man had said

that to me I'd have knocked him down are

you suggesting that I have one single

thing in common with only your clothing

distinguishes you it's a filthy lie I

have one single thing in common with her

nonsense if you don't get your own way

about everything you Suk so does Mariah

if Richard who has walked up that hill

twice forgets your times you are injured

if he doesn't wait on her hand and foot

she is angry so are you I have never let

Richard wait on me once only because

you've been too busy allowing me to I

thought you liked it you thought I liked

waiting on you as though I were a

serpant you never said you

didn't George there's one thing I like

about you you are the living

illustration of the puril of bringing a

stupid man into the world with a title

and taking a useful man out of it

without

one well what an escape thank you

George I was thinking of myself few I

would have asked you to marry me
