    [Hamlet playing]
  • 1:15 - 1:18
    (King Claudius)
    Welcome, dear Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    Moreover that we much did long to see you,
  • 1:23 - 1:26
    The need we have to use you did provoke
  • 1:26 - 1:28
    Our hasty sending.
  • 1:28 - 1:29
    Something have you heard
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    Of Hamlet’s transformation;
  • 1:32 - 1:33
    so call it,
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    Sith, nor the exterior nor the inward man
  • 1:37 - 1:40
    Resembles that it was.
  • 1:40 - 1:41
    What it should be,
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    More than his father’s death,
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    that thus hath put him
  • 1:45 - 1:48
    So much from the understanding of himself,
  • 1:48 - 1:50
    I cannot dream of:
  • 1:51 - 1:53
    I entreat you both,
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    That, being of so young days
    brought up with him,
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    And sith so neighbor'd
    to his youth and humor,
  • 1:59 - 2:02
    That you vouchsafe
    your rest here in our court
  • 2:02 - 2:03
    Some little time:
  • 2:04 - 2:06
    so by your companies
  • 2:06 - 2:07
    To draw him on to pleasures,
  • 2:08 - 2:08
    and to gather,
  • 2:08 - 2:10
    So much as from occasion you may glean,
  • 2:10 - 2:13
    Whether aught, unknown to us,
  • 2:13 - 2:14
    afflicts him thus,
  • 2:14 - 2:15
    That, open'd,
  • 2:16 - 2:17
    lies within our remedy.
  • 2:17 - 2:19
    (Queen Gertrude)
    Good gentlemen,
  • 2:19 - 2:21
    he hath much talk'd of you;
  • 2:22 - 2:24
    And sure I am two men there is not living
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    To whom he more adheres.
  • 2:27 - 2:28
    If it will please you
  • 2:28 - 2:31
    To show us so much gentry and goodwill
  • 2:31 - 2:33
    As to expend your time with us awhile,
  • 2:34 - 2:37
    For the supply and profit of our hope,
  • 2:37 - 2:40
    Your visitation shall receive such thanks
  • 2:41 - 2:43
    As fits a king’s remembrance.
  • 2:43 - 2:45
    (Rosencratz) Both your majesties, might
  • 2:45 - 2:47
    Might, by the sovereign power
  • 2:47 - 2:48
    you have of us,
  • 2:48 - 2:50
    Put your dread pleasures more into command
  • 2:51 - 2:52
    Than to entreaty.
  • 2:52 - 2:55
    (Guildenstern) But we both obey,
    And here give up ourselves, in full bent
  • 2:55 - 2:56
    - Guy: What a pleasure
  • 2:56 - 3:00
    in this day and age to hear the language
    so beautifully spoken.
  • 3:00 - 3:01
    [play inaudible]
  • 3:01 - 3:04
    Dear, dear, I'm not walking out.
    I just have to be able to piss, you see.
  • 3:04 - 3:09
    (Gertrude)
    Thanks, genle Guildenstern and Rosencrantz
  • 3:09 - 3:11
    And I beseech you instantly
  • 3:12 - 3:13
    Wait and listen.
  • 3:14 - 3:16
    (Gertrude) Go some of you,
  • 3:16 - 3:19
    And bring these gentlemen where Hamlet is.
  • 3:19 - 3:22
    (Guildenstern)
    Heavens make our presence and practices...
  • 3:31 - 3:33
    [CLEARING THROAT]
    Going to the… excuse me.
  • 3:50 - 3:53
    # Our hope for years to come,
  • 3:55 - 4:01
    # Our shelter from the stormy blast,
  • 4:01 - 4:06
    # And our eternal home.
  • 4:08 - 4:14
    # Before the hills in order stood, #
  • 4:14 - 4:17
    No soap.
    There's never any soap.
  • 4:22 - 4:24
    Do I want to be sick?
    - Huh?
  • 4:24 - 4:26
    No, no, not yet.
  • 4:28 - 4:33
    Hmm. You know, you remind me of a stoker I once knew.
    [MUSIC PLAYING] [APPLAUSE]
  • 5:12 - 5:14
    My dear lady, I do assure you,
  • 5:14 - 5:16
    that I am an old friend
    of the leading actor.
  • 5:16 - 5:22
    We were at Cambridge together.
    Young men together at university.
  • 5:22 - 5:23
    They've come such a long way
  • 5:23 - 5:26
    one should simply
    put the head around the door.
  • 5:29 - 5:31
    My Pass... My Pass...
  • 5:33 - 5:37
    I'm sure I'm not the first person to remark
    on your pronounced resemblance
  • 5:37 - 5:41
    to the late Ernest Bevin.
    It is most striking.
  • 5:42 - 5:43
    You could be sisters.
  • 5:45 - 5:47
    Oh, yes
    striking looks, I know,
  • 5:47 - 5:48
    but quite amusing. Mmm-hmm.
  • 5:48 - 5:50
    One seems such a villain.
  • 5:51 - 5:53
    And I guess I am,
  • 5:53 - 5:57
    Oh, uh, hurry up.
    I'm not feeling at all well.
  • 5:57 - 5:59
    Oh, dear.Thank you.
  • 6:00 - 6:02
    Thank you.
  • 6:25 - 6:27
    The drink, the drink.
  • 6:28 - 6:31
    It's the drink!
  • 6:34 - 6:36
    Aren't you feeling well?
  • 6:36 - 6:40
    Yes, thank you,
    I am perfectly all right.
  • 6:42 - 6:45
    Well, I'll get the woman.
  • 6:49 - 6:51
    I'm in a French faux.
  • 6:52 - 6:54
    Oh, run that tap, for God's sake.
  • 6:54 - 6:55
    - Oh, yes.
    - I wouldn't care,
  • 6:55 - 6:57
    but it's only the interval.
  • 6:57 - 7:00
    If you want to come round and be sick
    you might at least save it
  • 7:00 - 7:01
    for the end of the performance.
  • 7:01 - 7:04
    Oh, Pears soap.
  • 7:05 - 7:08
    Who are you? And who is that boy outside?
  • 7:08 - 7:10
    Boy? Outside?
  • 7:15 - 7:18
    I do not know. I have not seen that one before.
  • 7:18 - 7:21
    Can I get one of these?
  • 7:25 - 7:26
    I love your frock.
  • 7:26 - 7:29
    You are very rude. Are you from the embassy?
  • 7:29 - 7:30
    Not exactly.
  • 7:30 - 7:34
    Well, there can not be many other English
    in Moscow, who are you?
  • 7:34 - 7:36
    I was at Cambridge with Hamlet.
  • 7:37 - 7:40
    Well, why do not we tell him that you are here?
    He's only down the corridor.
  • 7:40 - 7:44
    All in good time. The question is, are we as welcome as ever?
  • 7:45 - 7:47
    I know your face.
  • 7:49 - 7:53
    Craven A, for your throat's sake, Mmm.
  • 7:55 - 7:57
    Are you enjoying the play?
  • 7:57 - 8:01
    I'm adoring it.
    I like the local Laertes.
  • 8:01 - 8:02
    The stockings are good.
  • 8:02 - 8:04
    Yes, that's what he thinks.
  • 8:04 - 8:06
    It looks like a pair of King Edwards has been put on.
  • 8:09 - 8:10
    How do you like Moscow?
  • 8:10 - 8:11
    Oh, loathe it, darling.
  • 8:11 - 8:15
    I cannot understand what those Three Sisters were on about.
  • 8:15 - 8:18
    It gives the play a very sinister slant.
  • 8:18 - 8:19
    The second act begins, please.
  • 8:19 - 8:20
    Ah, a drink would help.
  • 8:20 - 8:22
    Begin the second act, please.
  • 8:22 - 8:25
    Do not you think you've had enough?
    All right.
  • 8:26 - 8:28
    If you're not at the embassy, what do you do?
  • 8:28 - 8:29
    I establish contacts.
  • 8:29 - 8:30
    Are you press?
  • 8:30 - 8:31
    Something similar, yes.
  • 8:32 - 8:33
    You're not feeling sick again?
  • 8:33 - 8:35
    Uh, you know, I think I am, rather
  • 8:35 - 8:37
    Oh, God.
  • 8:37 - 8:38
    One of the few lessons I've learned in my life
  • 8:38 - 8:40
    is that when we're going to be sick,
    it's always in threes.
  • 8:42 - 8:43
    Your call, Miss Browne.
  • 8:43 - 8:44
    Yes, here it comes.
  • 8:45 - 8:48
    Oh, God! I'll send somebody in.
  • 8:48 - 8:50
    Miss Browne, your call!
  • 8:50 - 8:52
    - I must go.
    - Oh God!
  • 8:52 - 8:55
    Do try to feel better. And go home.
  • 8:55 - 8:57
    Yes.
  • 10:06 - 10:09
    - Oh, I'm so sorry...
    - I'm a sloppy one.
  • 10:10 - 10:12
    Guy.
  • 10:13 - 10:14
    Guy!
  • 10:17 - 10:21
    But I will delve one yard below their mines,
    And blow them at the moon:
  • 10:21 - 10:27
    I have a dressing room for me finally.
    You have the ways of a snake
  • 10:27 - 10:29
    - I am delighted
    - Good. I am very happy...
  • 10:30 - 10:33
    This man shall set me packing:
  • 10:33 - 10:36
    I'll lug the guts into the neighbour room.
  • 10:36 - 10:38
    Mother, good night. Indeed
  • 10:42 - 10:47
    Is now most still, most secret and most grave,
  • 10:47 - 10:49
    Where is Charles?
    who was in life
  • 10:49 - 10:52
    a foolish prating knave.
  • 10:52 - 10:55
    Come, sir, to draw toward an end with you.
  • 10:57 - 10:58
    You're cutting fine, darling.
  • 10:58 - 11:01
    Guess who I've just seen
    coming down the corridor?
  • 11:02 - 11:04
    - Who?
    - Guy Burgess
  • 11:04 - 11:07
    - Who?
    - Guy Burgess, dear.
  • 11:07 - 11:10
    The spy. The lost diplomat.
  • 11:17 - 11:21
    Ah, my good lord,
    what have I seen tonight!
  • 11:21 - 11:23
    What, Gertrude? How does Hamlet?
  • 11:23 - 11:24
    Guy Burgess?
  • 11:26 - 11:27
    How does Hamlet?
  • 11:27 - 11:28
    Mad as the sea...
  • 11:29 - 11:33
    Mad as the sea and wind when both contend
    Which is the mightier.
  • 11:33 - 11:37
    In his lawless fit,
    Behind the arras hearing something stir,
  • 11:37 - 11:41
    He whips his rapier out,
    and cries, "A rat, a rat!"
  • 11:42 - 11:48
    And in his brainish apprehension kills
    The unseen good old man.
  • 11:50 - 11:53
    Oh, heavy deed!
    It had been so with us had we been there.
  • 11:54 - 11:56
    His liberty is full of threats to all,
  • 11:56 - 11:59
    To you yourself, to us, to everyone.
  • 12:17 - 12:18
    I do not want to open my mind.
  • 12:18 - 12:20
    I would not like to eat cabbage
    for breakfast at my house.
  • 12:20 - 12:21
    Why should I eat cabbage for breakfast here?
  • 12:22 - 12:23
    Well, it's a good job, I like beets,
  • 12:23 - 12:25
    Otherwise it would return
    on the skin and bones.
  • 12:25 - 12:27
    Do not push, Madam.
  • 12:27 - 12:29
    - Mum must be the word, truly.
    - Why?
  • 12:30 - 12:31
    Well, we do not want any
    calling The Express.
  • 12:31 - 12:35
    If anyone's going to dinner tonight, knock on my door.
  • 12:36 - 12:37
    He's got fatter.
  • 12:39 - 12:40
    Did you know him?
  • 12:40 - 12:46
    Oh, I used to run across him years ago,
    the way it was done, you know
  • 12:47 - 12:51
    - You're rather that way, aren't you?
    - What way?
  • 12:51 - 12:52
    Left.
  • 12:53 - 12:57
    Oh. I was. Everyone was in those days.
  • 12:58 - 13:02
    I like him. Despite the fact
    that he was sick in my basin.
  • 13:02 - 13:03
    Really?
  • 13:03 - 13:06
    Bags of charm. "Yes."
  • 13:06 - 13:10
    But you're right, I would not want to convert
    to The Express in my worst enemy
  • 13:10 - 13:13
    - Drink?
    - I would love to.
  • 13:14 - 13:17
    Where is it gone? My drink!
  • 13:18 - 13:19
    My cigarettes.
  • 13:21 - 13:22
    My soap!
  • 13:23 - 13:24
    That rogue!
  • 13:25 - 13:27
    The bag has fallen.
  • 13:32 - 13:33
    Thank you.
  • 13:41 - 13:43
    - Sleep Cap?
    - Please!
  • 13:47 - 13:49
    Hot, hot, hot.
  • 13:50 - 13:52
    - Is your room hotter?
    - Boiling.
  • 13:52 - 13:55
    I am sure it's all part
    of the cold war
  • 14:00 - 14:02
    No plug.
  • 14:03 - 14:08
    Secret store.
  • 14:16 - 14:17
    Oh!
  • 14:20 - 14:21
    Have you found any bugs?
  • 14:21 - 14:23
    - Come again?
    - Bugs!
  • 14:24 - 14:28
    - Have you found any bugs?
    - Bugs? No, mine is very clean.
  • 14:34 - 14:35
    Oh.
  • 14:36 - 14:39
    Wonderful rooms!
    Every convenience.
  • 14:39 - 14:42
    - All same.
    - But I have one complaint.
  • 14:43 - 14:44
    Oh, what is that, please?
  • 14:45 - 14:47
    Well, in view
    of the splendid achievements
  • 14:47 - 14:50
    Of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
  • 14:50 - 14:54
    I think, at least, they might put a plug in the sink.
  • 14:55 - 14:57
    What?
  • 15:00 - 15:04
    It's like playing Private lives in
    the Wednesday matinee in Oldham.
  • 15:06 - 15:09
    I'll tell you something else. "Mmm?"
  • 15:09 - 15:11
    You can go off caviar.
  • 15:45 - 15:47
    Who came?
  • 16:16 - 16:17
    Thank you.
  • 17:23 - 17:26
    Please, how do I get there?
  • 17:36 - 17:40
    Well, somebody must be able to tell me how to get there.
  • 17:53 - 17:58
    This is ridiculous. Haven't you got
    a street directory an A to Z?
  • 18:00 - 18:03
    - Well, uh... Can I get a taxi?
    - No taxi.
  • 18:03 - 18:07
    - Do you have problems?
    - Oh no. No.
  • 18:10 - 18:12
    Taxi!
  • 18:35 - 18:38
    Excuse me, do you know where this is?
  • 18:41 - 18:42
    Thank you.
  • 19:16 - 19:18
    Good. I just want to know
    where the place is.
  • 19:18 - 19:20
    How do I get there?
  • 19:20 - 19:22
    I thought that's what embassies were for.
  • 19:22 - 19:26
    You have to remember,
    that the gentleman in question was a spy.
  • 19:26 - 19:28
    In England he would be languishing
    in jail.
  • 19:28 - 19:30
    He's rather languishing here actually.
  • 19:35 - 19:37
    Bring a tape measure.
  • 19:37 - 19:39
    Bring a tape measure?
  • 19:39 - 19:42
    Mr Burgess
    has asked me to lunch.
  • 19:43 - 19:45
    With a tape measure?
    - caring for his waistline.
  • 19:45 - 19:47
    Well, you can not stop me from going to lunch.
  • 19:47 - 19:49
    It is a free country.
  • 19:49 - 19:50
    or enough, is not it?
  • 19:50 - 19:54
    Have lunch here. It's Tuesday.
    There is fish with rice and boiled egg. It is delicious.
  • 19:54 - 19:57
    It's Tuesday.
    There is fish with rice and hard-boiled egg.
  • 20:00 - 20:03
    Tessa doesn't think
    we take it seriously.
  • 20:03 - 20:05
    Was he a friend of yours?
  • 20:05 - 20:09
    He popped by my dressing room
    last night and threw up in the basin.
  • 20:09 - 20:11
    It was love at first sight.
  • 20:11 - 20:13
    First impressions are always the best.
  • 20:13 - 20:15
    You never had any contact with him before?
  • 20:15 - 20:17
    No.
  • 20:17 - 20:19
    You didn't meet him when he was
    at the Foreign Office?
  • 20:19 - 20:20
    No.
  • 20:20 - 20:22
    - On the BBC?
    - No.
  • 20:22 - 20:25
    - What about Maclean?
    - No!
  • 20:25 - 20:29
    Strange to pass by his dressing room.
  • 20:29 - 20:32
    - The ladies are exactly their path.
    - Are they yours?
  • 20:32 - 20:36
    Of course, if all that happened to him
    was that he felt bad, that would explain.
  • 20:36 - 20:39
    He was coming around to see one of the actors.
  • 20:39 - 20:40
    Which one?
  • 20:41 - 20:43
    You are not being paid for The Daily Express, are you?
  • 20:43 - 20:45
    They are very keen to take the glove.
  • 20:45 - 20:47
    I should give up the idea.
    Eat with us. Come on.
  • 20:47 - 20:50
    I have no intention of having
    lunch with you. He has asked me to call.
  • 20:51 - 20:53
    Do you know where this is?
  • 20:58 - 21:00
    Oh, Tessa does not know, do you, Tessa?
  • 21:00 - 21:02
    Well, Tessa is very thin.
  • 21:02 - 21:04
    Tessa's interest is to waste time.
  • 21:05 - 21:07
    Until she gets her face on the front page
    of Country Life.
  • 21:07 - 21:09
    After the advertisements.
  • 21:09 - 21:11
    of special tables.
  • 21:11 - 21:13
    Stalin is dead.
  • 21:20 - 21:22
    Exchanges are taking place.
  • 21:23 - 21:25
    You, the Old Vic theater.
    No overtures, I admit.
  • 21:25 - 21:29
    But the preparatory tuning
    of the overtures.
  • 21:32 - 21:35
    For the first time in 10 years, we are in the phase of talking to each other.
  • 21:35 - 21:39
    Our friends, the enemy,
    are just beginning to play ball.
  • 21:39 - 21:42
    We do not want to take the bat home, do we?
  • 21:42 - 21:46
    Burgess and Maclean,
    are yesterday's breakfast.
  • 21:46 - 21:50
    We want to forget them.
    The Russians want to forget them.
  • 21:50 - 21:53
    The thing is, we do not want any fuss at this point.
  • 21:53 - 21:54
    No scenes.
  • 21:55 - 21:56
    This is grown-up stuff.
  • 21:56 - 22:00
    I'm going to lunch. A quiet little meal.
  • 22:01 - 22:03
    I am an actress
    All actresses are crazy.
  • 22:03 - 22:05
    It is a proven fact.
  • 22:05 - 22:08
    Why should there be any fuss?
  • 22:08 - 22:09
    May I just take the note?
  • 22:09 - 22:12
    Certainly not. What a nerve!
  • 22:12 - 22:14
    Oh, do stay to eat,
    there will be jokes.
  • 22:15 - 22:16
    Yes, Giles knows lots of jokes.
  • 22:16 - 22:20
    Only we have heard them all.
    New people make such a change.
  • 22:20 - 22:23
    Well, Tessa wants you to stay.
    Don't you, Tessa?
  • 22:23 - 22:25
    I think you're both shits.
  • 22:26 - 22:28
    I was only teasing! Oh God!
  • 22:28 - 22:31
    This means that we will not talk for a week.
  • 22:33 - 22:37
    Well, thank you for all your help.
  • 22:38 - 22:40
    Oh, do not bother to show me out.
  • 22:41 - 22:43
    Enjoy your fish with rice and hard boiled eggs.
  • 22:56 - 22:58
    Show me that address.
  • 23:01 - 23:03
    Tessa!
  • 23:05 - 23:07
    Naughty.
  • 23:07 - 23:09
    Sorry.
  • 23:48 - 23:49
    Oh...
  • 23:57 - 23:58
    Thank you.
  • 24:20 - 24:21
    Forgive?
  • 26:25 - 26:30
    From the bank and from the river
    He flashed into the crystal mirror,
  • 26:30 - 26:34
    ‘Tirra lira,’ by the river
    Sang Sir Lancelot.
  • 26:35 - 26:38
    She left the web, she left the loom,
    She made three paces through the room,
  • 26:38 - 26:39
    She saw the water-lily bloom,
    She saw the helmet and the plume,
  • 26:39 - 26:41
    She looked down to Camelot.
    Out flew the web and floated wide ;
    The mirror cracked from side to side ;
  • 26:48 - 26:49
    ‘The curse is come upon me,’ cried
    The Lady of Shalott.
  • 26:56 - 27:00
    I have walked through the middle of Russia
    to get here.
  • 27:00 - 27:01
    Oh, dear!
  • 27:01 - 27:03
    I guess that's my soap.
  • 27:03 - 27:06
    It is, it is, and very good.
  • 27:06 - 27:07
    Now, have a seat.
  • 27:08 - 27:10
    What a wonderful coat.
  • 27:11 - 27:12
    We are already here.
  • 27:14 - 27:16
    I have been ordering.
  • 27:17 - 27:20
    Here, have a drink?
  • 27:21 - 27:24
    You know, quite honestly,
    I thought that you would leave me planted.
  • 27:25 - 27:30
    I nearly did. You steal my soap,
    you steal my cigarettes,
  • 27:30 - 27:32
    you even stole my face powder.
  • 27:32 - 27:36
    I know, I know. One should have asked.
    One is such a coward.
  • 27:38 - 27:42
    Good, hard to live in abundance.
    In fact, almost a swine.
  • 27:42 - 27:45
    You know, I used to live
    on Jermyn Street.
  • 27:45 - 27:48
    Tragic, you can think. Well, not really.
  • 27:49 - 27:51
    That was a pigsty, too.
  • 27:51 - 27:55
    Knows for its standards,
    is quite palaciego.Casi very spacious.
  • 27:57 - 27:58
    One is very lucky.
  • 28:01 - 28:03
    If it is our lunch,
    it is burning.
  • 28:03 - 28:05
    Oh, oh, dear. Oh yeah.
  • 28:07 - 28:10
    Can one salvage some of it?
  • 28:11 - 28:13
    No.
  • 28:18 - 28:21
    Ah! All is not lost.
    I managed to squeeze two tomatoes.
  • 28:21 - 28:24
    And, a topic of discussion,
    a grapefruit.
  • 28:24 - 28:26
    Treats.
    - Have a seat.
  • 28:34 - 28:36
    - Garlic?
    - No. thank you.
  • 28:36 - 28:37
    I love it!
  • 28:39 - 28:41
    Well, tell me all the gossip.
  • 28:42 - 28:44
    Do you see Harold Nicolson?
  • 28:44 - 28:48
    He, uh...
    I've seen him, but I do not know him.
  • 28:48 - 28:50
    Oh! Nice man, nice man
  • 28:51 - 28:53
    What about Cyril Connolly?
    He is everywhere.
  • 28:53 - 28:55
    Well, I have not run across him either.
  • 28:55 - 29:00
    Oh! Somehow, one remembers everyone knowing everyone else.
  • 29:00 - 29:03
    Everyone I knew, knew all the others.
    Auden, do you know him?
  • 29:04 - 29:05
    Pope-Hennessy?
  • 29:09 - 29:12
    The theater is in a terrible state.
  • 29:12 - 29:15
    The three plays closed in Shaftue
    in one week.
  • 29:16 - 29:17
    Really?
  • 29:20 - 29:24
    A ballet on ice is coming here.
    All the comrades are nervous about it.
  • 29:25 - 29:27
    I am rather old-fashioned about ice.
  • 29:28 - 29:30
    I used to drive in Cambridge, you know.
  • 29:31 - 29:34
    One thinks about the past and wonders
    maybe I lost my way.
  • 29:35 - 29:37
    You are not eating your tomato?
  • 29:37 - 29:39
    Well, I'm not hungry.
  • 29:39 - 29:42
    Oh, I do. Yum, yum. Mmm.
  • 29:45 - 29:46
    There.
  • 29:49 - 29:52
    - Mmm. "Do you see a lot of people here?"
  • 29:53 - 29:56
    Oh, yes. Montones of friends.
  • 29:59 - 30:02
    Do not know what you are missing
    with this tomato.
  • 30:04 - 30:07
    There is a half orange,
    I suppose.
  • 30:07 - 30:09
    What? Oh yeah. Hmm.
  • 30:09 - 30:12
    He is a virtuoso of the balalaika.
    We play duets.
  • 30:12 - 30:13
    Maclean?
  • 30:15 - 30:17
    Maclean? Oh no.
  • 30:19 - 30:22
    Maclean is not my friend. "No, honey, oh, no. No no.
  • 30:22 - 30:25
    No, no, he's so serious.
    No jokes, no jokes at all.
  • 30:25 - 30:27
    Positively the last person
    that I would have chosen
  • 30:27 - 30:29
    if I had had a choice.
  • 30:29 - 30:32
    And yet we are here in this
    terrible tandem together, you see
  • 30:32 - 30:34
    Debenham and Freebody.
  • 30:34 - 30:37
    Crosse and Blackwell.
  • 30:37 - 30:39
    Auden and Isherwood.
  • 30:39 - 30:41
    Burgess and Maclean.
  • 30:41 - 30:42
    Do you know Auden?
  • 30:42 - 30:44
    You asked me. No.
  • 30:44 - 30:48
    Do not look.
    The seeds get inside my plate.
  • 30:48 - 30:51
    You know, people ask me
    if I have any regrets
  • 30:51 - 30:53
    The one regret I have
    is that before I came away
  • 30:53 - 30:58
    I did not get a good pair of
    National Health teeth.
  • 30:58 - 31:01
    Admirable as most things are
    in the Soviet Socialist Republic,
  • 31:01 - 31:04
    making of dentures
    is still in its infancy.
  • 31:06 - 31:07
    Hmm.
  • 31:08 - 31:11
    You know, there is no one in Moscow at all.
  • 31:12 - 31:15
    It's rather like staying in Cambridge
    during long vacations.
  • 31:15 - 31:17
    I settle with anyone who is around here.
  • 31:17 - 31:18
    Me.
  • 31:18 - 31:20
    = No, no, no, no, no.
  • 31:20 - 31:23
    Besides, I asked you here for a reason.
  • 31:24 - 31:27
    Did you bring a tape measure?
  • 31:30 - 31:34
    I want you to measure me
    for some suits for my tailor.
  • 31:34 - 31:37
    I only have one suit
    the one I came away.
  • 31:37 - 31:39
    And I've fallen down a lot since then.
  • 31:39 - 31:42
    But I shan't know where to start - what measurements will he want?
  • 31:43 - 31:46
    Oh, measure it all, he will work it out.
    He is a nice man.
  • 31:46 - 31:49
    Won't your people here
    get you a suit?
  • 31:49 - 31:50
    What people?
  • 31:50 - 31:51
    The authorities.
  • 31:51 - 31:53
    Oh, yes, but have you seen them?
  • 31:54 - 31:57
    Clothing has never been the strong point
    of the comrades.
  • 31:57 - 32:01
    Besides, I do not want to look like everybody else, right?
  • 32:01 - 32:06
    But, I seem to remember how it is done.
  • 32:08 - 32:10
    Your arms can not have changed.
  • 32:11 - 32:13
    You know, I never cared for cumin
    the clothes before.
  • 32:13 - 32:16
    I always wore traditional clothes
    in my class, you know.
  • 32:17 - 32:21
    Black coat, striped trousers, diplomatic
    stripe suits, tweeds on weekends.
  • 32:21 - 32:23
    Shit order, of course.
    Always in shit order.
  • 32:23 - 32:26
    But lovely, I always had charm.
  • 32:26 - 32:30
    "Well, you still have charm," she said through clenched teeth.
  • 32:31 - 32:33
    Not here, not for them.
  • 32:33 - 32:37
    For charm one needs words,
    I have no words.
  • 32:37 - 32:39
    And without my clothes, I have no class.
  • 32:39 - 32:42
    For them, I am the Englishman.
  • 32:42 - 32:45
    You would want to go to bed with the English? I wonder? I do not think so. As I have been so spoiled during the war. London awash with rude soldiery.
    - You speak Russian? - I manage.
  • 32:45 - 32:47
    I should learn, simply for the sex.
  • 32:47 - 32:51
    Boys are quite thin on the ground here.
  • 33:04 - 33:06
    They can not speak my language,
    I can not speak theirs.
  • 33:06 - 33:09
    so that when I contact one
    soon I get bored.
  • 33:09 - 33:10
    Sex needs language.
  • 33:10 - 33:13
    Well, at least you found a friend.
  • 33:13 - 33:15
    I do not know whether I've found one.
  • 33:15 - 33:18
    or if I have chosen one.
  • 33:18 - 33:20
    And I... I know what I've done
    to deserve him.
  • 33:20 - 33:23
    But what has he done to deserve me?
  • 33:23 - 33:25
    Am I a reward or a punishment?
  • 33:26 - 33:29
    He plays the balalaika and
    I play the piano.
  • 33:30 - 33:31
    It's funny.
  • 33:32 - 33:35
    He is a ballet electrician.
  • 33:35 - 33:38
    Of course, he might be a policeman.
  • 33:38 - 33:40
    If you are a policeman
    disguises it well.
  • 33:40 - 33:43
    Forster lived with a cop, did not he? Do you know him?
  • 33:43 - 33:47
    I'm afraid I'm a disappointment
    in the friends department.
  • 33:47 - 33:48
    Oh, no matter.
  • 33:48 - 33:52
    You know,
    nobody will believe me when I go home.
  • 33:52 - 33:54
    What did you do in Moscow, darling?
  • 33:54 - 33:59
    Nothing much.
    I took measurements to Guy Burgess' inside the leg.
  • 34:01 - 34:05
    I would not think the inside of one's leg changes much, does it?
  • 34:05 - 34:07
    One of the things that does not change.
  • 34:08 - 34:09
    The knee is such a distance
    from the main body,
  • 34:09 - 34:11
    while the groin,
    as your honour knows,
  • 34:11 - 34:13
    is in the curtain of the place.
  • 34:13 - 34:15
    Come again?
  • 34:15 - 34:17
    Tristram Shandy.
  • 34:18 - 34:21
    Of course, you would not, right?
  • 34:22 - 34:24
    Do what?
  • 34:24 - 34:26
    Go around telling everyone.
  • 34:27 - 34:30
    My people here would not like that.
  • 34:31 - 34:32
    No?
  • 34:34 - 34:35
    No.
  • 34:37 - 34:39
    A hat would be nice.
  • 34:40 - 34:42
    7 and 5/8.
    Now, I will write the name of my...
  • 34:42 - 34:44
    I have it here, and, oh,
    and that of my cobbler, too.
  • 34:44 - 34:46
    Oh, it's an outfit.
  • 34:46 - 34:49
    Yes, for marriage
    at gunpoint.
  • 34:51 - 34:53
    Look, how do you know he will not say no?
  • 34:53 - 34:55
    - Hmm?
    - Your tailor.
  • 34:55 - 34:59
    It would be vulgar to say no.
    He will not say no.
  • 35:01 - 35:02
    I will see what I can do.
  • 35:02 - 35:04
    Oh, you're not leaving already, are you?
  • 35:04 - 35:06
    You do not want to leave, right?
  • 35:06 - 35:11
    Well, could not we go somewhere?
    You could show me the sights.
  • 35:11 - 35:16
    Uh... Well, I can not go out yet,
    I have to wait for a telephone call
  • 35:16 - 35:19
    When calling the phone,
    I am permitted to leave.
  • 35:19 - 35:21
    Who from?
  • 35:23 - 35:25
    Oh, you know, my people.
  • 35:27 - 35:29
    It's generally around four.
  • 35:31 - 35:33
    That's another two hours.
  • 35:36 - 35:40
    Never mind.
    I'll put my Jack Buchanan record.
  • 35:50 - 35:54
    *# Who stole my heart away
  • 35:54 - 36:00
    # Who makes me dream all day
  • 36:00 - 36:05
    *# Dreams I know can never come true
  • 36:05 - 36:11
    *# Seems as though I'll ever be blue
  • 36:12 - 36:17
    *# Who, means my happiness
  • 36:17 - 36:25
    *# Who, would I answer yes to
  • 36:26 - 36:30
    *# To none other than you
  • 36:31 - 36:34
    *# No one, but you!
  • 37:05 - 37:08
    Good, isn't it?
    Want to hear it again?
  • 37:08 - 37:11
    - You only have the one?
    - only the one.
  • 37:11 - 37:12
    What's on the other side?
  • 37:12 - 37:14
    Oh, you do not want to listen to the other side.
  • 37:14 - 37:18
    The other side is rubbish. "I never hear the other side.
  • 37:20 - 37:24
    *# Who stole my heart away
  • 37:24 - 37:26
    What do you miss the most?
  • 37:29 - 37:35
    Well, um... Apart from Club Reform,
    the streets of London
  • 37:35 - 37:38
    and occasionally
    the English countryside
  • 37:40 - 37:44
    I think the only thing I really miss
    are the gossip
  • 37:46 - 37:48
    Comrades, although they are
    in any other respect,
  • 37:48 - 37:51
    do not gossip in the way we do it,
  • 37:51 - 37:53
    or on the same issues.
  • 37:53 - 37:56
    Well, pardon me for saying it, dear
    but the comrades seem to me to be...
  • 37:56 - 37:59
    ... a sad disappointment in every department.
  • 38:00 - 38:03
    No gossip
    their clothes are terrible
  • 38:03 - 38:06
    can not make false teeth,
    what else is there?
  • 38:07 - 38:09
    The system.
  • 38:09 - 38:13
    I thought, that being English,
    we would be interested in that.
  • 38:15 - 38:17
    What do people say about me in England?
  • 38:18 - 38:20
    They do not say much anymore.
  • 38:22 - 38:25
    I thought you were
    a little like Oscar Wilde.
  • 38:28 - 38:29
    No, no.
  • 38:31 - 38:36
    Although, he was a performer
    and I was an performer.
  • 38:36 - 38:38
    Both vain.
  • 38:39 - 38:40
    But I never pretended.
  • 38:40 - 38:44
    If I wore a mask, it was to be exactly what I seemed.
  • 38:44 - 38:48
    And in relation to the other, well
    I do not want to hide it
  • 38:50 - 38:52
    But my analysis of situations,
  • 38:52 - 38:55
    The reports that I had to send to the Foreign Office
    were always Marxist.
  • 38:55 - 39:00
    openly so, impeccably so.
  • 39:00 - 39:02
    But nobody minded.
  • 39:02 - 39:05
    It is already known Guy, the old and dear Guy.
    Quite safe. If you do not want to tune into something
  • 39:05 - 39:06
    You have to adapt to everything else
  • 39:06 - 39:07
    And in all important things
    I did conform.
  • 39:07 - 39:11
    How can he be a spy?
    My tailor says.
  • 39:11 - 39:14
    The average Englishman, you see, is not interested in ideas.
  • 39:15 - 39:18
    Say what you like about political theory. No-one will listen.
  • 39:21 - 39:24
    You could shove a whole slice
    of the Communist manifesto
  • 39:24 - 39:26
    into the Queen's Speech.
    Nobody would turn a hair.
  • 39:27 - 39:29
    Least of all, I suspect, HMQ.
  • 39:33 - 39:35
    Am I boring you?
  • 39:36 - 39:38
    It does not matter.
  • 39:57 - 40:02
    I'll think of 101 things to ask you
    when you've gone.
  • 40:02 - 40:04
    How is Cyril Connolly?
  • 40:04 - 40:07
    You've asked me that.
    I do not know.
  • 40:10 - 40:12
    So little, England.
  • 40:13 - 40:15
    Little music, little art.
  • 40:15 - 40:19
    Timid, tasteful, nice.
  • 40:20 - 40:24
    And I still love her.I love her.
  • 40:26 - 40:30
    You know, I can say I love London
    and I can say that I love England.
  • 40:30 - 40:32
    I can't say I love my country.
  • 40:32 - 40:35
    I don't know what that means.
  • 40:38 - 40:40
    Do you watch cricket?
  • 40:40 - 40:41
    No.
  • 40:42 - 40:44
    Anyway, it has changed.
  • 40:45 - 40:46
    Cricket?
  • 40:46 - 40:48
    London.
  • 40:49 - 40:52
    Why? I do not want it to change.
  • 40:53 - 40:55
    Why does anybody want to change it?
  • 40:55 - 40:59
    It is none of your business to change it.
    The fools!
  • 40:59 - 41:02
    I should stop them,
    tie them together.
  • 41:03 - 41:07
    Listen, dear. I'm only an actress.
  • 41:07 - 41:10
    I am not a bright lady,
    by your standards.
  • 41:11 - 41:13
    I have never been much interested in politics
  • 41:13 - 41:17
    But if this is Communism
    I don't like it because it's dull!
  • 41:17 - 41:20
    The poor things look so tired.
  • 41:21 - 41:23
    Some people think Australia's dull.
  • 41:23 - 41:27
    And that is not Communism. And look at Leeds!
  • 41:30 - 41:34
    Only it occurs to me that
    we have sat here all afternoon
  • 41:34 - 41:37
    pretending that spying,
  • 41:38 - 41:41
    which is what you did, darling,
  • 41:41 - 41:44
    it was just a minor social misdemeanor.
  • 41:44 - 41:48
    no worse – and I’m sure in
    certain people’s minds much better –
  • 41:48 - 41:50
    than being caught in a public lavatory
  • 41:50 - 41:54
    the way gentlemen
    in my profession constantly are,
  • 41:54 - 41:59
    and that it’s something one shouldn’t mention.
  • 42:00 - 42:01
    out of politeness.
  • 42:02 - 42:05
    So that we won't be embarrassed.
  • 42:07 - 42:09
    That's very English.
  • 42:09 - 42:13
    We will pretend it has not happened
    because we are both sensible people.
  • 42:14 - 42:15
    Well,
  • 42:16 - 42:20
    I am not English, I am not sensible,
  • 42:21 - 42:22
    I am an Australian.
  • 42:24 - 42:27
    I can't muster much morality.
  • 42:28 - 42:32
    Outside Shakespeare, the word "treason" to me means nothing -
  • 42:33 - 42:37
    only you pissed in our soup, and we drank it.
  • 42:40 - 42:42
    Well, very well.
  • 42:43 - 42:46
    It does not affect me, darling.
  • 42:46 - 42:49
    I will order your suit and your hat
  • 42:49 - 42:53
    And I will upload it to my account.
    To mine, not a word.
  • 42:54 - 42:56
    but for one reason,
  • 42:57 - 42:59
    I'm sorry for you
  • 43:01 - 43:04
    Now, in your book,
  • 43:04 - 43:07
    in your real book,
  • 43:07 - 43:11
    where you'll probably add my name
    to the list of all the other fools you've conned
  • 43:11 - 43:14
    But you are not conning me, darling.
  • 43:16 - 43:17
    I know.
  • 43:19 - 43:22
    The pipe is not fooling pussy.
  • 43:28 - 43:32
    A shame. I was enjoying that.
  • 43:36 - 43:39
    You spoiled the lady's big speech.
  • 43:45 - 43:48
    I just want to be told why.
  • 43:52 - 43:56
    At the time, I thought
    it was the right thing to do.
  • 43:57 - 44:02
    And solitude, I suppose.
    - Oh, solitude!
  • 44:04 - 44:07
    If you have a secret, you are alone.
  • 44:07 - 44:11
    But you told people - you told several people.
  • 44:11 - 44:15
    There is no point in having a secret
    if you make a secret of it
  • 44:15 - 44:18
    In fact, another thing that can bring me
    is an old Eaton necktie
  • 44:18 - 44:20
    This one is in the last.
  • 44:20 - 44:22
    Ah, here is Tolya.
  • 44:26 - 44:29
    Oh, yes. Now, this is Mrs. Browne.
  • 44:29 - 44:32
    She is an actress from England.
  • 44:32 - 44:34
    How do you do?
  • 44:34 - 44:36
    - How do you do?
    - Very good.
  • 44:36 - 44:38
    If you give him a cigarette,
    an English cigarette.
  • 44:38 - 44:40
    he will be your friend for life.
  • 44:41 - 44:42
    Hmm.
  • 44:43 - 44:44
    Ah.
  • 44:56 - 44:57
    Oh, dear. I'm sorry.
  • 44:59 - 45:00
    No.
  • 45:01 - 45:03
    No, no, please.
  • 45:04 - 45:05
    Please.
  • 45:18 - 45:20
    He is a real Queen Mary.
  • 45:21 - 45:23
    I could not ask him for a suit too, right?
  • 45:23 - 45:25
    He would look so nice.
  • 45:25 - 45:27
    Anything. Anything.
  • 45:27 - 45:29
    Hello, Guy, Guy.
  • 45:37 - 45:41
    Uh... Tolya wants to play a song for you.
  • 45:41 - 45:43
    Uh, do let him, he will be so pleased.
  • 45:48 - 45:51
    Gilbert and Sullivan.
  • 45:55 - 45:58
    # Take a pair of sparkling eyes,
  • 45:58 - 46:00
    # Hidden, ever and anon,
  • 46:00 - 46:03
    # In a merciful eclipse
  • 46:04 - 46:06
    # Do not heed their mild surprise
  • 46:06 - 46:09
    # Having passed the Rubicon.
  • 46:09 - 46:11
    # Take a pair of rosy lips ;
  • 46:12 - 46:16
    What do you think? Reward or punishment?
  • 46:17 - 46:19
    # (Be particular in this) ;
  • 46:19 - 46:21
    # Take a tender little hand,
  • 46:21 - 46:24
    # Fringed with dainty fingerettes,
  • 46:24 - 46:25
    # Press it in parenthesis ;
  • 46:28 - 46:29
    Where are we going?
  • 46:29 - 46:30
    Church.
  • 46:30 - 46:33
    Do you like church? I adore it.
  • 46:33 - 46:34
    In this one, the songs are very good.
  • 46:34 - 46:39
    The opera singers are in the choir,
    warming up for the evening performance
  • 46:40 - 46:42
    Is not that, uh, another friend?
  • 46:42 - 46:44
    Oh, good God no.
  • 46:44 - 46:46
    You know, when I first came here,
  • 46:47 - 46:49
    I was shadowed by a rather large
    police.
  • 46:49 - 46:50
    That was when I was a celebrity.
  • 46:51 - 46:53
    Nowadays they just send me to those who are in training..
  • 46:53 - 46:54
    Irony, that.
  • 46:55 - 46:57
    Good afternoon.
    (Russian) Good afternoon.
  • 46:59 - 47:00
    They are not strong in ironies, comrades.
  • 47:03 - 47:05
    Did you know Jack Buchanan?
  • 47:05 - 47:07
    Yes, I suppose.
  • 47:08 - 47:10
    We nearly got married.
  • 47:20 - 47:22
    It's strange.
  • 47:23 - 47:25
    Sybil Thorndik loved it.
  • 49:21 - 49:23
    I gave you my old mama's number, didn't I?
  • 49:23 - 49:24
    Yes.
  • 49:26 - 49:30
    I... do like it here.
  • 49:31 - 49:33
    Do not tell anyone I do not.
  • 49:33 - 49:36
    And thanks again, in advance.
  • 50:11 - 50:13
    Are you Mrs. Burguess?
  • 50:13 - 50:15
    My name is Coral Browne,
  • 50:15 - 50:18
    I just saw Guy in Moscow,
    and asked me to call him.
  • 50:18 - 50:20
    - What does it look like? "Oh, he looks good."
  • 50:20 - 50:22
    I wish I could see you.
  • 50:22 - 50:23
    Old rogue.
  • 50:23 - 50:26
    Will not you go again?
    I know you'd like to see him.
  • 50:26 - 50:29
    I do not think I can now
    I got a stupid hip.
  • 50:29 - 50:31
    Oh, I'm so sorry.
  • 50:31 - 50:35
    Well, maybe they will let him come back
    sometime.
  • 50:35 - 50:38
    You should not be on the corner
    for the rest of his life.
  • 50:38 - 50:41
    They are site years. People are silly.
  • 50:43 - 50:45
    Let me see? Come back.
  • 50:45 - 50:48
    Yeah, yeah, well, it's a little short on the left
  • 50:48 - 50:50
    We can easily alter that.
  • 50:50 - 50:53
    You have changed very little
    over the years, you know.
  • 50:54 - 50:57
    Credit. Good.
  • 50:57 - 51:02
    And, if I wanted to try on the pants,
    with which we had no problems,
  • 51:02 - 51:05
    And now there's this, which has a nondescript amount of work to make...
  • 51:05 - 51:09
    I will be with you in a moment! "That's fine, I think.
  • 51:11 - 51:12
    Yes, ma'am, can I help you?
  • 51:13 - 51:15
    Good morning.
    I would like to order some suits
  • 51:15 - 51:17
    Certainly, ma'am, have a seat.
  • 51:17 - 51:19
    You have made suits
    for this gentleman before
  • 51:19 - 51:21
    but now he lives abroad.
  • 51:21 - 51:22
    I see.
  • 51:22 - 51:24
    I took his measurements.
  • 51:25 - 51:26
    I do not know if they're quite right.
  • 51:27 - 51:28
    Let me see.
  • 51:30 - 51:33
    Oh, yes. Yes,
    this is more than adequate.
  • 51:33 - 51:36
    Uh, could we know the gentleman's name?
  • 51:37 - 51:38
    Burgess.
  • 51:42 - 51:44
    I seem to remember that we had, uh...
  • 51:44 - 51:46
    We had two Mr. Burgesses.
  • 51:54 - 51:57
    This I take it as Mr.Burguess, G.
  • 51:58 - 52:00
    How is Mr Burgess?
  • 52:00 - 52:03
    Fatter, I see.
  • 52:04 - 52:06
    He was one of our more colorful customers.
  • 52:06 - 52:09
    Too little color in our drab lives these days
  • 52:09 - 52:12
    Mr Guy favoured this pattern.
  • 52:12 - 52:14
    It's a... It's a durable fabric.
  • 52:14 - 52:16
    Their costumes always suffered
    enough punishment.
  • 52:16 - 52:18
    I hope, that you have been useful
  • 52:18 - 52:19
    Oh, yes, they have been.
  • 52:19 - 52:21
    I am glad to hear it.
  • 52:21 - 52:25
    Always getting scratches.Mr Guy.
  • 52:25 - 52:26
    And your name is?
  • 52:26 - 52:27
    Browne.
  • 52:27 - 52:29
    No discretion is needed here, ma'am
  • 52:30 - 52:31
    No, truly.
  • 52:32 - 52:33
    My apologies.
  • 52:35 - 52:39
    And this is the address?
  • 52:39 - 52:42
    We put little of ourselves
    into our suits,
  • 52:42 - 52:44
    that is our loyalty.
  • 52:44 - 52:47
    And mum's the word.
  • 52:48 - 52:51
    Mum is always the word here, madam.
  • 52:51 - 52:56
    Moscow or Maidenhead,
    mum is always the word.
  • 52:57 - 53:00
    Baldwin, Brooks...
  • 53:02 - 53:03
    Burgess...
  • 53:04 - 53:08
    Burgess, Burgess, Burgess,
  • 53:08 - 53:10
    Burgess.
  • 53:10 - 53:11
    No.
  • 53:11 - 53:15
    - I'll call back later.
    - Burgess, Burgess, Burgess.
  • 53:16 - 53:18
    5807.
  • 53:18 - 53:20
    Well, if I wanted to follow the
    bowels of the Earth.
  • 53:20 - 53:23
    We'll see what we can find.
  • 53:26 - 53:28
    5807...
  • 53:28 - 53:31
    This is Mr. Burguess
    who got into hot water.
  • 53:31 - 53:32
    George!
  • 53:32 - 53:34
    Yes.
  • 53:34 - 53:38
    5807... 5807...
  • 53:43 - 53:44
    It's a graveyard.
  • 53:44 - 53:48
    On the contrary, ma'am,
    they are all very much alive and indeed kicking
  • 53:49 - 53:51
    5807...
  • 53:51 - 53:55
    From time to time we make
    a small bonfire.
  • 53:55 - 53:57
    George, 5807.
  • 53:59 - 54:01
    Ah, excuse me, sir.
  • 54:05 - 54:07
    Well, it is a very long way from him.
  • 54:07 - 54:09
    I thought I would never ask for others.
  • 54:09 - 54:11
    George is quite inconsiderate.
  • 54:15 - 54:17
    Here it is.
  • 54:18 - 54:19
    GB.
  • 54:20 - 54:21
    Great Britain.
  • 54:26 - 54:27
    I wish I had told her
    in due time,
  • 54:27 - 54:29
    I would have liked to have seen the old thing again.
  • 54:29 - 54:32
    Well, he wanted me to take him to lunch.
  • 54:32 - 54:34
    - Oh! "Give me a check."
  • 54:34 - 54:35
    Oh!
  • 54:35 - 54:37
    I'm not sure I should
    charge it.
  • 54:37 - 54:39
    Oh, for Guy.
  • 54:41 - 54:43
    Did you have a problem
    to send the goods?
  • 54:43 - 54:44
    Oh, no, no, no.
  • 54:44 - 54:47
    No one moved a tab,
    why should they?
  • 54:47 - 54:48
    Everything has been sent.
  • 54:48 - 54:52
    Only now she has written
    asking for some pajamas
  • 54:52 - 54:53
    - Hmm? "Look."
  • 54:53 - 54:56
    - Goodbye, Mario.
    - Goodbye, madam.
  • 54:56 - 55:01
    What I really need, really,
    the only thing is pajamas.
  • 55:01 - 55:06
    Rations that can not sleep late,
    in fact, are not made for that purpose.
  • 55:06 - 55:08
    What I would like are four pairs...
  • 55:09 - 55:10
    Oh!
  • 55:14 - 55:16
    fairly flat,
    and of these two colors.
  • 55:16 - 55:18
    And finally my set will be complete.
  • 55:18 - 55:21
    and I should look like a real agent,
    again.
  • 55:21 - 55:22
    What?
  • 55:24 - 55:27
    and I should look like a real gent
    again
  • 55:27 - 55:28
    Oh.
  • 55:30 - 55:33
    Well, I think the pyjamas are going to be the end.
  • 55:34 - 55:36
    Otherwise
    the little Dolly
  • 55:36 - 55:38
    will be betraying, betraying, betraying
    until the cows come home.
  • 55:38 - 55:41
    Or until the revolution comes.
  • 55:50 - 55:53
    I'm afraid this gentleman does not have
    already an account with us, ma'am
  • 55:53 - 55:56
    His account was closed. "I know, but he wants to open it again."
  • 55:56 - 55:59
    I'm afraid that's impossible.
  • 55:59 - 56:01
    Why?
    - Well...
  • 56:01 - 56:05
    We send pajamas to the royal family.
  • 56:05 - 56:06
    So?
  • 56:06 - 56:08
    The gentleman is a traitor, Madame.
  • 56:08 - 56:11
    So? Must traitors sleep on a cloth?
  • 56:11 - 56:14
    Sorry. We have to trace the line
    somewhere.
  • 56:14 - 56:17
    Well, why there?
  • 56:17 - 56:19
    Suppose someone commits
    adultery in your precious pajamas
  • 56:20 - 56:22
    And I imagine it has occurred?
  • 56:22 - 56:25
    What happens when he orders
    his next pair of jim-jams?
  • 56:25 - 56:26
    Is it sorry, no can do?
  • 56:26 - 56:31
    - I'm very sorry.
    - She says the whole time she's sorry!
  • 56:31 - 56:32
    Oh, Jesus Christ!
  • 56:32 - 56:34
    You were quite happy to satisfy this man
  • 56:34 - 56:38
    when he was one of the most
    notorious buggers in London!
  • 56:38 - 56:40
    And a drunk on offer.
  • 56:40 - 56:42
    Oh, yes. But then it was someone in the
    Foreign Office.
  • 56:43 - 56:46
    A little red pipe on the sleeve,
    Mr Burguess?.Of course.
  • 56:46 - 56:49
    A discreet initials in the pocket,
    Mr Burguess?.Oh, yes, certainly.
  • 56:49 - 56:51
    And if there's anything else you need,
    Mr Burgess,
  • 56:51 - 56:55
    We would be very happy to lower your pants
    striped
  • 56:55 - 56:56
    and make them!
  • 56:58 - 56:59
    But not anymore.
  • 56:59 - 57:02
    Look, ma'am, I do not know why
    is doing this for him.
  • 57:02 - 57:03
    But as far as we are concerned,
  • 57:03 - 57:05
    Mr Burgess is a client
    with whom we have finished.
  • 57:06 - 57:07
    Ours is a respectable firm..
  • 57:07 - 57:09
    Highly respectable!
  • 57:09 - 57:13
    It’s pricks like you that
    make me understand why he went!
  • 57:13 - 57:15
    Thank God I'm not English!
  • 57:15 - 57:19
    In fact, lady, our signature
    is not English either, in origin
  • 57:19 - 57:22
    Oh? What nationality is it?
  • 57:22 - 57:23
    Hungarian.
  • 57:24 - 57:26
    I see.
  • 57:26 - 57:31
    Well, you can not resist buying an old Eaton tie.
  • 57:31 - 57:33
    Cash, of course.
  • 57:33 - 57:35
    It is for the mother of the Archbishop
    of Canterbury
  • 57:47 - 57:50
    # That he is an Englishman!
  • 57:52 - 57:54
    *# That he is an Englishman!
  • 57:54 - 57:58
    *# For he might have been a Roosian,
  • 57:59 - 58:02
    *#A French, or Turk, or Proosian,
  • 58:03 - 58:10
    *# Or perhaps Itali-an!
  • 58:10 - 58:15
    *# But in spite of all temptations
  • 58:15 - 58:19
    *# to belong to other nations,
  • 58:19 - 58:22
    *# He remains an Englishman!
  • 58:22 - 58:29
    *# He remains an Englishman!
  • 58:31 - 58:36
    *# For in spite of all temptations
  • 58:36 - 58:40
    *# to belong to other nations,
  • 58:40 - 58:51
    *# He remains an Englishman!
  • 58:55 - 58:59
    *# For he himself has said it,
  • 58:59 - 59:04
    *# And it's greatly to his credit,
  • 59:04 - 59:08
    *# That he is an Englishman!
  • 59:08 - 59:15
    *# That he is an Englishman!
