Transcript
00:00Oh dear Countess, pray for me, for I have sinned against meself and me brother Roderigo.
00:06You've got to say sinned as if you've really sinned.
00:11Sinned. Sinned.
00:14Roderigo, you arrive seeking the Duke of Lancashire.
00:20Harky, who goes there?
00:23Oh, I forgot the symbols.
00:25Why, it's...
00:26It's Roderigo.
00:27I want to be Lady Violet.
00:33I'm exhausted by being the boy.
00:37The play is the thing, Amy.
00:39You're too little to be Lady Violet.
00:41Here, be the Countess de Montanescu.
00:43You don't have any lines.
00:45Besides, who would be our Roderigo?
00:50Gentlemen.
00:51Gentlemen.
00:51I propose the admission of a new member to our theatrical society.
00:59Theodore Lawrence will put it to a vote.
01:01Nay, he'll laugh at our acting and poke fun at us later.
01:05He'll think it's only a game.
01:06No, he won't, upon my word, as a gentleman.
01:09Joe, when it's only ladies, we don't guard our conduct in the same way.
01:12We bare our souls and tell the most appalling secrets.
01:16He would find us improper.
01:17Oh, Teddy would do nothing of the sort.
01:21Oh, please.
01:22Let's try him.
01:23Shall we?
01:28Joe, are you ready?
01:29Hello, artists.
01:30May I present myself as an actor, a musician, and a loyal and very humble servant of the club.
01:38I hope we'll be the judge of that.
01:40In token of my gratitude and as a means of promoting communication between adjoining nations,
01:47shouting from windows being forbidden,
01:48I shall provide the post office in our hedge to further encourage the bearing of our souls
01:59and the telling of our most appalling secrets.
02:06I do pledge never to reveal what I receive in confidence here.
02:16Well, then.
02:20Do take your place, Rodrigo.
02:23Sir, Rodrigo.
02:25And so Laurie was admitted as an equal into our society,
02:38and we March girls could enjoy the daily novelty of having a real brother of our very own.
02:43Bye-bye.
02:53Bye-bye.
03:11Bye.
03:12Bye.
03:12Bye.
03:12Bye.
03:13Bye.
03:13Bye.
