00:00You
01:00Now you must give me some work to do.
01:03Yes.
01:04What can we think of that?
01:06Can you speak Spanish?
01:07No.
01:09What do you know about welfare work?
01:12Well, nothing, I'm afraid.
01:14Oh, dear, how hopeless I am.
01:16Lavender will find you a job.
01:18Lavender.
01:21Lavender Davis!
01:23Hello, Linda.
01:23You two know each other?
01:25Oh, yes, we're great friends.
01:26I was a bridesmaid at her wedding.
01:29Her first wedding to Tony.
01:31Lavender's wonderful.
01:33She works with her mothers and babies.
01:35Oh, how's your little girl?
01:36Oh, she's fine.
01:39I know what you can do.
01:40We're evacuating several thousand refugees to Mexico, and what delicious scent you have.
01:52Apres londes?
01:53Hmm.
01:53I thought so.
01:55You can arrange the accommodation on the ship.
01:57Come on.
01:59Come on.
01:59Come on.
02:06Right.
02:07Calvo family.
02:091, 2, 3, 4.
02:12And the Malzaga family.
02:15One, two, one, two.
02:18Yes.
02:20Now the family Lattapi.
02:22No, no, no, no, no, monsieur.
02:25No, excuse me, sir.
02:26No, excuse me.
02:27Please, please.
02:28Señor, no.
02:31Please, please.
02:32Ladies and gentlemen, please.
02:34No, please.
02:36No, no, no.
02:41No, no, please.
02:43Come on.
02:45Glenda.
02:57Where's my brother?
02:59And my hermana.
03:01Oh, I hoped I'd find you here.
03:04You haven't come to take me home, have you?
03:06No, of course not.
03:08I bolted, too.
03:10With Christian talk.
03:12Christian?
03:13Christian.
03:14I bet they may just stink at home.
03:23The refugees are such terrific hordes.
03:25I don't know far here you say that.
03:27Frogs are slightly better than hunts or wops.
03:31For the fraud is on us where they play bloody.
03:33And all foreigners are beans.
03:34And all foreigners are beans.
03:36Fearful the dead of the time there must be.
03:38Sleeping alone.
03:40Sleeping alone.
03:41Sleeping alone.
03:42Sleeping alone.
03:44Sleeping alone.
03:45Sleeping alone.
03:46Sleeping alone.
03:47Sleeping alone.
03:48Sleeping alone.
03:52In the dead.
03:57Ends of dust.
04:13You've done wonderfully, Linda.
04:16Did you work on any of your special plans when you were allocating the cabins?
04:20Well, wasn't it all right?
04:21It was perfect. Everybody had a place.
04:22I just wondered what you went by when you allocated the good cabins, that's all.
04:26Well, I simply gave the best cabins to the people who had Labrador on their card.
04:29Because I used to have him when I was lifting. He was such a terrific...
04:32So sweet, you know.
04:37Labrador in Spanish means labour.
04:39So, under your scheme, it's excellent, by the way, it's most democratic,
04:42the farmhands all found themselves in luxury, while the intellectuals were battened.
04:47Oh, I do miss having dogs. They love you however silly you are.
04:52Yes, I'm sorry.
04:52Yes, I'm sorry.
04:56And I'm not happy.
05:00What do they do all day?
05:02Boy waters his geraniums.
05:05And you know how bad it is for them to have too much water.
05:07Of course, they're all leaf as a result.
05:09And they can't afford to come home?
05:12Poor boy.
05:13No club, no London library, no Sonia.
05:19Shut up month after month with the cross little girl he's known from a baby.
05:23Poor Polly.
05:24Look, I know it's wrong to rouse the sexual instincts of little girls so they fall madly in love with you.
05:28Well, poor old boy's taking a fearful punishment.
05:34And between you and me, she's having some other trouble with him.
05:40Kitchen maids.
05:41Sonia has never mentioned Polly to me. Never once.
05:52Well, perhaps she doesn't think about her anymore.
05:56This Polly can't be much of a personality.
05:59To have left such a small dent where she used to be.
06:03Well, the thing about Polly is her beauty.
06:11More beautiful than one?
06:14Well, with Polly you just gaze and gaze.
06:19Maybe I should have a nip and a tuck like Sonia. What do you think?
06:23When you think how rich she would have been.
06:26No cruel looks at one.
06:28Fair's fair, you know.
06:33It's from your wicked mother, the bolter, I expect.
06:49Oh, might I not have bought it for myself?
06:52No, no, my love.
06:53You are saving up to educate your twelve brilliant sons.
07:00You stay as you are, my darling.
07:02There is no point in your wearing expensive clothes.
07:08You are like the royal family.
07:12Whatever you wear, you look exactly the same.
07:15You, you look exactly the same.
07:16You are like the supervision of theさん.
07:25You, you look exactly the same.
07:29Have you?
07:36Oh, and.
07:37Oh, my God.
08:07Little houseless match.
08:09It has no roof, no thatch.
08:12It lies alone.
08:13It makes no moan.
08:14The little houseless match.
08:19Oh, Matt.
08:22What's the matter?
08:24He loves her.
08:26What?
08:26He loves Lavender.
08:29Lavender Davis?
08:31Oh, I haven't seen them kissing or anything like that.
08:33I just know that they're perfectly happy together.
08:38They're utterly suited.
08:41Their work.
08:42Their ideals.
08:45Their soulmates.
08:47Dear Christian,
09:00I can see that our marriage has been a failure.
09:05I'm going away.
09:07Please don't look for me.
09:09Please look after Matt.
09:11P.S.
09:17I think you had much better marry Lavender.
09:21The journey this time was horrible.
09:48Linda had torn up the past two years
09:51and thrown them away like so much waste paper.
09:56She had found neither great love nor inspired it in others.
10:01And now she was doomed to the lonely, hunted life
10:04of a beautiful but unattached woman.
10:07A woman like my mother.
10:09The voter.
10:10A woman like my mother.
10:20Oh, monsieur.
10:22Excusez-moi, monsieur.
10:23Le train pour Londres, s'il vous plaît.
10:25Mais voyez-vous, madame, c'était pour le 29 et nous sommes aujourd'hui le 30.
10:31Qu'est-ce que je dois faire maintenant?
10:33Nous sommes aujourd'hui le 30.
10:35Monsieur!
10:35Je n'ai pas un donjon.
10:39Je n'ai pas un donjon.
10:39Je n'ai pas un donjon.
11:05Je n'ai pas un donjon.
11:10Je n'ai pas un donjon.
11:16Je suis la fille d'un très important l'ordre anglais.
11:19One does not have to be Sherlock Holmes to get that.
11:22Why?
11:26Well, French ladies never, never sit crying on their suitcases at the garden or at the very
11:30early morning.
11:31While white slaves always have protectors and it is only too clear that you are unprotected
11:36just now.
11:37Oh.
11:41Let's see.
11:42My return ticket's expired.
11:47Well, I invite you to luncheon with me.
11:49At first, you must have a bath and dress and a cold compress on your face.
11:57Hotel Montalembert will be back.
11:59Je vous prie de m'excuser, madame, for not taking you to the bridge, but I have a feeling
12:02for the Hotel Montalembert just now that it will suit your mood this morning.
12:07I will fetch you a little before one o'clock.
12:09You kept me waiting.
12:14That is a very good sign.
12:15A sign?
12:16Of what?
12:17That our affair would be happy unless long.
12:19We are not having an affair.
12:22My name is Fabrice.
12:23May I ask yours?
12:26Linda.
12:26Linda.
12:28Comme c'est joli.
12:30With me, it usually lasts five years.
12:35Well, my first was a Conservative.
12:37And my second is a Communist.
12:39Just as I guess.
12:41Your first is rich and your second poor.
12:44How can you tell?
12:45The fur coat, though it is a hideous colour, still it's usually betoken as a rich husband
12:49somewhere.
12:51Then this dreadful linen suit you are wearing has ready-made written all over it.
12:55You are rude.
12:56It's a very pretty suit.
12:57And last year's.
13:00If you were well-dressed, you would be quite good-looking.
13:03Though it's true your eyes are small.
13:06Blue a good colour, but small.
13:08In England, I am considered a beauty.
13:13Well, you have part.
13:19Merci.
13:20Merci.
13:21How fortunate you are to live in such a city.
13:26It would be impossible to be very unhappy here.
13:30One's emotions are intensified in Paris.
13:32One can be more happy and also more unhappy here than in any other place.
13:36But the rest of the world seems unbatterably bleak to us.
13:42Hardly worth living.
13:50Comments, my flat.
13:53No, no.
13:55No, the time has come for me to point out that I am, in some, serious.
14:01What a phrase.
14:02Where did you find it?
14:04Then, if so serious, how do you explain the second husband?
14:08Well, I admit that I did wrong.
14:10Very wrong indeed.
14:12But that is no reason for losing control altogether.
14:16And please, if you would be so kind as to lend me some money,
14:20I want to catch the London train tomorrow morning.
14:23Of course, but how old me?
14:29I will come back at 8 o'clock and take you to dinner.
14:33I will be Although Manick
14:42I will come back with you.
14:53I will see you later in the morning.
14:55Three more questions.
14:56I will be here in the morning.
14:56Bye.
14:57Hello.
15:25Hello.
15:26Hello.
15:27Good morning.
15:28Are you having breakfast?
15:30Is it good?
15:31It's so delicious that I have to keep stopping for fear of finishing it too quickly.
15:35I must tell you that I like very long conversations in the morning.
15:39And I shall expect you to raconter des histoires.
15:42Well, as a matter of fact, I adore chatting.
15:44It's my favorite thing.
15:45And I expect that you'll want to ring off ages before I do.
15:51Bonjour.
15:52Bonjour.
15:56Haven't you any other engagements?
15:59Of course.
16:00I've cancelled them.
16:02Well, who are your friends?
16:04Les gens du monde.
16:05And yours?
16:06Well, I used to know worldly people.
16:09But since my second marriage, I've become more serious.
16:11Oh, everybody's getting more serious.
16:13That's the way things are going.
16:15But whatever one may be in politics, a communist or a fascist,
16:18les gens du monde are the only possible ones for friends.
16:21Why?
16:22What else is there to distinguish man from the animals but his social life?
16:25And who understands it so well as les gens du monde?
16:29But one cannot have it at the same time as a love affair.
16:32So I have cancelled all my engagements.
16:35Well, what a pity.
16:37Because I'm going back to London tomorrow morning.
16:40And this time I really am.
16:42Ah, yes.
16:43I had forgotten.
16:45What a pity.
16:47Hello?
16:48Hello.
16:49Hello.
16:50Were you asleep?
16:51Yes, of course.
16:52What time is it?
16:53About two.
16:54Shall I come round and see you?
17:08Do you mean now?
17:09Yes.
17:10Well, I must say it would be very nice.
17:15But the only thing is, what would the night porter say?
17:20What would the night porter say?
17:21What would the night porter say?
17:22What would the night porter say?
17:27What would the night porter say?
17:29No.
17:30Bye-bye!
17:32Bye-bye!
17:33Bye-bye!
17:34Bye-bye!
17:37Bye-bye!
18:11Why do you always love when you make love?
18:14I suppose I do.
18:16I generally laugh when I'm happy and cry when I'm not.
18:19I'm a very simple character, you know.
18:22Don't most women laugh?
18:25Oh, no. More often they cry.
18:27Extraordinary. Don't they enjoy it?
18:30They call on the Virgin Mary to forgive them.
18:34But you, my dear, it's very strange.
18:37But it's incredible for you.
18:39It's very...
18:40This is where I'm going to live.
19:01When I was young, I used to hide in wardrobes,
19:05disguise myself as a footman,
19:07climbing out the windows.
19:09Now I prefer to be comfortable.
19:11Your femme de menage called you Monsieur le Duc.
19:24Well, who exactly are you?
19:26Oh, haven't you discovered that?
19:28What an extraordinary lack of curiosity.
19:31My name is Soufter.
19:32In short, madame, I am happy to tell you
19:35that I am a very rich duke.
19:37A most agreeable thing to be,
19:39even in these days.
19:42He met you apparently at Hampton.
19:44He said you went for a walk and discussed Polly.
19:48We have a routine.
19:49I must tell you that my family
19:50is not entirely without virtue.
19:52Fabrice dines with me every night
19:54and stays until seven o'clock the next morning.
19:57When he goes home,
19:58gets into bed with his breakfast in the newspapers,
20:00phones me up at nine and we talk nonsense for an hour
20:02as though he hasn't seen me for days.
20:05Oh, I know it's wicked.
20:06But I'm so happy, Fanny.
20:08So very happy.
20:23Polly, what a treat!
20:25How marvellous to see you!
20:28Hello, boy.
20:29Hello.
20:30How lovely Italy must have been.
20:34Yes.
20:35Yes, though, I rather think Polly is
20:37delighted to be back.
20:41Do forgive, boy.
20:42He's dying to get to the library.
20:45Ah, yes.
20:48Yes.
20:51Don't hurry a bit!
20:53I admit it was run.
20:54Run.
20:55Oh, it's so wonderful to be home!
20:59Oh, full as walnut cake.
21:06What bliss!
21:07Why have you come home now?
21:12I can't have a baby abroad.
21:15Poor little thing.
21:17Not a cow in the place.
21:18We're so lucky that Geoffrey came to the rescue.
21:22Geoffrey?
21:22Lord Paddington.
21:23Lord Paddington.
21:24He's asked Boy to write the history of his family.
21:26That's why we can afford to come home.
21:28Do you know him?
21:30Yes.
21:32He never came to Hampton because he couldn't stand Mama.
21:35I wonder what's going to come first.
21:49This war of my baby.
21:52Are you going to see your mother?
21:54Boy's frightened.
21:55But there's rarely nothing more she can do to us, is there?
22:00Well, I don't think you have to worry about her.
22:03She's altered completely in this past year.
22:08I'm dying to meet Cedric.
22:10Oh, he's dying to meet you, too.
22:12You're Rebecca to him.
22:14You mean they're in love?
22:15Oh, no.
22:18Not in that way.
22:19It's not Cedric's thing.
22:21I used to think at one time that Mummy rather fancied Boy.
22:24Though he says not.
22:35Sip your plate.
22:38Good heavens!
22:40Nessie.
22:45Are you in disguise?
22:48Oh, no.
22:48I have to wear these when I go abroad.
22:50I have such kind eyes, you see.
22:53Beggars cluster around and annoy me.
22:56Why are you here?
22:57I'm staying with baby.
22:59But I really wanted to see how you are.
23:04I've been madly curious.
23:07Do Ma and Varno?
23:09No.
23:10They think you're still with Christian.
23:11It is a great pleasure to see you in the park.
23:17I wouldn't have missed it from the world.
23:18My goodness.
23:19How funny it all is.
23:21Such a wonderfully old-fashioned little loveness.
23:25What an interest you are in one's life, Linda dear.
23:29Don't tease.
23:30I'm so happy you can't think.
23:33What time does your lover usually arrive?
23:35Not till seven.
23:36Oh, do stay and see him, Merlin.
23:37He is such a terrific horn.
23:39Who is he?
23:40He is called the Duc de Sauveterre.
23:42Oh.
23:44Do you know him?
23:46Darling, Linda.
23:48One always forgets, under that look of sophistication,
23:50what a little provincial you really are.
23:52Of course I know Fabrice.
23:54And all about him, and so does everyone else.
23:58Except you.
24:01Well, what do you mean?
24:02Fabrice is undoubtedly one of the wickedest men in Europe
24:10as far as women are concerned.
24:14But, I must admit, he's a most agreeable companion.
24:18Oh.
24:27Bonjour, Madame.
24:32Je voudrais voir le Duc.
24:34Do you want to attend a monsieur here?
24:50Yes, thank you.
25:34Why did you come to my house today?
25:49I suddenly wanted to see you very much.
25:53Why didn't you wait?
25:59I wanted to ask you something.
26:00And then I realised it wasn't important.
26:07Nothing matters except this.
26:22Us.
26:24Now.
26:25I don't want to go back home ever.
26:42But you will probably have to.
26:46Soon.
26:47German troops are mobilising close to the border.
26:50I never want to leave you.
26:57For as long as I live.
26:58You must promise me, monsieur, that the very minute I tell you to leave for luncheon, you must do so.
27:06I have a flat in Chelsea.
27:07It's all ready for you.
27:10But what about you?
27:11I have duties that will keep me here.
27:18Hello, darling.
27:20Have you seen?
27:22They started putting sandbags up all along...
27:23Polly's baby died.
27:27Polly's baby died.
27:40Polly's baby died.
27:40Fanny.
27:40How lovely to see you.
27:44Oh, Polly.

31:02he loves me
31:04he loves me not
31:06He loves me. Don't interrupt, my angel. He loves me not.
31:11Oh, heaven, he loves me.
31:14I may as well tell you, my darling, that the second big thing in my life has begun.
31:36Cedric managed the whole thing quite beautifully. As soon as Polly had recovered her health, he took Boy away for a few weeks, during which time a Maurice Cowley was seen more and more frequently in the drive, until before very long, Polly got into it.
32:06And was taken to Paddington Park, where she remained.
32:23When war was finally declared in September, Alfred was called up and I took refuge at Alkenley.
32:29Good.
32:34Good.
32:37Very good.
32:39Another foot, Josh. Come on, no slacking.
32:43This will stop the sewers for at least two hours.
32:48Possibly three.
32:51Before we all get killed.
32:56He's ready.
32:57Come on.
32:58Keep at it.
32:59Oh, Sadie, it's so lovely to be back.
33:00More the merrier, dear.
33:01Then Linda will be home soon, I hope.
33:02It could be just like old times.
33:03Though we can't seem to get in touch with her.
33:04She and Christian still seem to be in Paris.
33:05You'll never guess in a thousand, thousand years did you just arrive.
33:06Who?
33:07Hitler?
33:08Who?
33:09Linda?
33:10Who?
33:11Who?
33:12Hitler?
33:13Linda?
33:14Who?
33:15Who?
33:16Good God.
33:17Good God.
33:18Good God.
33:19The bolter.
33:21The bolter!
33:22That's the boulder.
33:23Who?
33:24You can see her.
33:25I said the boulder.
33:26You can see her.
33:27How are you doing?
33:28We are going to get back home soon, I hope.
33:29It could be just like old times.
33:30Though we can't seem to get in touch with her.
33:31She and Christian still seem to be in Paris.
33:33You'll never guess in a thousand, thousand years did you just arrive.
33:34Hitler?
33:36Linda?
33:44Good God!
33:46The bolter!
33:52My darling daughter.
34:02How I've missed you.
34:04I've missed you.
34:20So Juan, the darling boy, help me escape across the Pyrenees.
34:25We walk for days and days. The blisters!
34:29You must be very brave.
34:31It's no use talking to him, darling. He doesn't speak a word of English.
34:43I'm sorry, Mummy, but it is absolutely disgusting.
34:46What is it?
34:47What can I do? The meat ration only lasts about two meals.
34:51Why can't you shoot some pheasants, Fav?
34:53Because I'm saving my ammunition for the Hun.
34:55He's Spanish, Matthew.
34:57How many husbands has she had?
35:03It's either six or seven.
35:05The Germans have invaded Denmark. They must leave this afternoon.
35:17The Germans have invaded Denmark. They must leave this afternoon.
35:29Good Bunny!
35:30Good Bunny!
35:37Good Bunny!
35:38Good Bunny!
35:40When this is over, you will come and find me in London.
35:55Promise.
35:58Quite a month.
36:00Years.
36:03I shall wait.
36:10Attention à la fermeture des portes.
36:17Attention.
36:18Au revoir.
36:20Au revoir.
36:20Au revoir.
36:21A bientôt.
36:40Sous-titrage ST' 501
37:10He has my eyes, don't you think?
37:30Well, isn't this nice?
37:32Just us together.
37:35A family again, after all this time.
37:38There's something I want to ask you.
37:44All these years I've been curious, and now I'm a mother myself.
37:47I've been thinking about it even more.
37:50What I mean is, now I've got David, I...
37:52Listen, Mota.
37:54I'm not having that day-go in my house any longer.
37:56Oh, but, darling...
37:57You'll have to make other arrangements.
37:58You're such a passion, darling.
38:00You want to keep all your women to yourself.
38:02It's been two months, Mota.
38:03He saved my life in Spain.
38:06I can't stand the sight of that sewer lounging about here.
38:09He's not lounging, sweetie.
38:10He's unhappy.
38:11He's got nothing to do.
38:14He used to be a cook, you know.
38:15He ran a restaurant before the Civil War.
38:18He kept it going through all the fighting.
38:20He made the most wonderful meals out of absolutely nothing.
38:23Mmm.
38:32Ooh.
38:34Ooh, what is it today, Juan?
38:36Arroz con azafrán.
38:38Menestra de verduras.
38:40Y pollo en pepitoria.
38:42Delicious.
38:43Señora?
38:43Churro.
38:44It smells of a broad.
38:46I'm going to go.
38:47The moment I'm 21.
38:49Do you know how much I got in my post office book?
38:51Can't go abroad, dear.
38:53None of us care now.
38:54Oh.
38:55I wish Linda would telephone.
38:59At least she's in London now.
39:03What's that Talbot fella think he's doing?
39:07Why can't he put her on a train?
39:09Can't you go and see her, Fanny?
39:11Perhaps she would listen to you.
39:16Linda, darling.
39:18You must come to Orkhamley.
39:19Well, I can't.
39:21Fabrice might call.
39:22Well, London's going to be bombed any day soon.
39:26He's working for de Gaulle now.
39:28It's very dangerous.
39:30I've got to be here for him.
39:33You look terrible.
39:34Oh, I just feel sick, that's all.
39:39I'm having his baby.
39:46But you're not supposed to have another child.
39:49Well, doctors, they don't know anything.
39:55They're such fearful idiots.
39:56If this comes out, he'll telephone.
40:08If this comes out, he'll write.
40:21If this comes out, he'll write.
40:27If this comes out, he won't be killed.
40:52Hello?
40:53Yes?
40:54Fabrice.
40:55Fabrice.
40:56Hello?
40:57Yes?
40:58Fabrice.
40:59Fabrice.
41:00Hello?
41:01Yes?
41:02Fabrice.
41:03Fabrice.
41:04Hello?
41:05Hello?
41:06Hello?
41:07Yes?
41:08Fabrice.
41:09Fabrice.
41:10Fabrice.
41:35I came to tell you I love you.
41:37The others were false, but this is real, and I came to tell you.
41:51Do you think we shall ever live together?
41:55But of course we shall.
41:57For years and years and years.
42:00Until I'm 90.
42:02I have a very faithful nature.
42:05But you weren't very faithful to the others.
42:07You said they lasted five years.
42:10Ah, but as I love you ten times more than them, that brings me to 90.
42:19I have been so romantic with so many women.
42:24But with you, I knew from the first moment it was like recognizing somebody.
42:32Well...
42:34Little...
42:35I can't explain it.
42:37Don't try to.
42:38I love you too.
43:08There's no question of evacuation.
43:38You women, with the family, must go down to the cellar while the battle is on.
43:46There's an excellent tap, and I provisioned you with bully beef for a week.
43:51Matthew, Linda's building has been bombed.
43:54What? What? Oh, God.
43:58Hello! Bloody cut off again!
44:03We could try Christian's friend. What was his name?
44:05Try the people who phoned in the first place.
44:07I told you! I don't know who it was! Nanny took the message!
44:18Oh!
44:20My bed simply went through the floor, and I went with it.
44:29Most comfortable.
44:31Oh!
44:33Oh, thank God I didn't lose the baby.
44:37The baby?
44:43Is that garlic?
44:50Darling, you know what the doctor said.
44:54Isn't this lovely?
45:03Did you have it made when you were living in Paris?
45:07Hmm.
45:09It's really wonderful what you can get there on no money if you're clever.
45:22And look, this goes with it.
45:24It was Soph Tare you were living with, wasn't it?
45:31How do you know?
45:33Everybody knew on the Riviera, darling.
45:37Clever you, napping him.
45:43Don't tell anyone.
45:44Oh, I know.
45:46They think that you're still living with your husband.
45:50Hmm.
45:51Don't worry.
45:52I'm not that kind of girl.
45:56Excuse me.
46:01Well, you needn't be like that with me, sweetie.
46:09She thinks I'm like her.
46:11Honestly.
46:12I'm sorry, Fanny.
46:13I know she's your mother.
46:14You're different.
46:15Why?
46:16You're not a bolter.
46:18Is Polly a bolter?
46:19I think if anyone's a bolter in that marriage,
46:22it's probably a boy.
46:27So, here we are, darlings,
46:29having our lovely cake and eating it too.
46:34One's great aim in life.
46:36Oh.
46:43Hmm.
46:44What's the time, darling?
46:46Guess.
46:47He'll ring soon.
46:48I know he will.
46:53You know what I was thinking, Fanny?
46:55We're a lost generation, you and me.
46:58In history, I expect the two wars will count as one more
47:00and we should be squashed out of it altogether.
47:03We might just as well never have lived at all.
47:06I do think it's a shame.
47:07Quick!
47:20Down to the cellars!
47:22Air attack!
47:26There's a whole squadron of the sewers!
47:28Come on, bolter!
47:29Come on, boys!
47:30There, man!
47:31There, man!
47:32There, man!
47:33There, man!
47:34There, man!
47:35There!
47:36There, man!
47:37There, man!
47:38There, man!
47:39There, man!
47:41You're steng to fight!
47:43To fight!
47:44Well, did it come in, then?
47:45What?
47:46Linda?
47:48Linda?
48:00Answer the phone, honey!
48:04Answer the phone!
48:16Go up!
48:20Follow her on.
48:23Help!
48:25Help!
48:27Help!
48:29Help!
48:35Help!
48:47The doctors were right, for it did kill her.
48:57Fabrice was caught by the Gestapo and subsequently shot.
49:02He was a hero of the Resistance, and his name has become a legend in France.
49:07Alfred and I adopted the little Fabrice.
49:17He has black eyes the same shape as Linda's blue ones,
49:22and is a most beautiful and enchanting child.
49:27I love him quite as much as, and perhaps more than, I do my own.
49:32Ah!
49:36Poor Linda.
49:39But don't you think it's just as well?
49:42The lives of women like her and me are not much fun when one begins to grow older.
49:48Oh, she would have been happy with Fabrice.
49:53He was the great love of her life, you know.
49:57And she of his.
49:58She is.
50:01Oh, darling.
50:04One always thinks that.
50:06Every, every time.
50:28Each day, he knows they're coming.
50:30Take care, pose
50:36the civilian eyes of hearts.
50:39By Jamie.
50:41One always thinks that.
50:42That's what's really good.
50:44Is she telling you.
50:45The country does.
50:47It's just as far as, you know.
50:49She calls the family, now he says.
50:52Take care let's go.
50:53You're welcome.
50:54I'll see you next time.
