00:00We simply must be brave, mustn't we?
00:12Heaven knows it'll be hard.
00:15It'll be beastly.
00:17But we're strong people, Tony, you and I.
00:20And what we feel for each other, it'll endure.
00:23It will endure.
00:28So...
00:29I shall stay in my shop.
00:32And you and yours.
00:34And all I ask is that you don't go to hate me.
00:38How could I hate you, Madeline?
00:40You mean everything to me.
00:43What the hell was that?
00:45Cut!
00:47Billy, what was that?
00:49Just a car back bar, I think, Mr.
00:51I sounded like a pistol.
00:53Didn't it sound like a ruddy pistol, Stu?
00:55You all right, my pet?
00:56Yeah, I'm fine.
00:57I think I'm just a bit tired.
00:59Of course, darling.
01:00You must be.
01:01Tell you what, how about a proper dinner after this?
01:04Like we used to before the war.
01:06Oh, yeah.
01:06That would be wonderful.
01:08None of this canteen muck.
01:09No offense.
01:10Sandra, are you okay?
01:13Yes.
01:13Yes, Jessie, I'm fine.
01:15Don't fuss.
01:16How was my pout at the end?
01:18What could do with a dab, actually?
01:22Miss dear, anywhere's victory red.
01:24Besseme.
01:24Please, can we just stop faffing and get on with it?
01:27Mary, thank you.
01:28Yes, I'm fine.
01:29All right.
01:30All right.
01:31Ad Astra Peraspira.
01:33We must have bodies.
01:35Abracadabra.
01:35Stuart, stop it.
01:36I'd like to concentrate.
01:39Have.
01:40Quiet!
01:41Love, Lorne in London.
01:42Scene 28, take three.
01:45Action!
01:48We simply must be brave, mustn't we?
01:51Heaven knows it'll be hard.
01:53It'll be beastly.
01:55I'm strong.
02:03Oh, my.
02:06And this is on his bedroom wall.
02:12Rose red and rolled gold.
02:16I said to him, Stuart, Stu, I said.
02:18You are just like this paper.
02:20You're so strong and modern.
02:22He handled this very role.
02:27Can I touch it?
02:31I shouldn't really, but...
02:34Well, since your extra's in my cake shop.
02:44This is the last thing he sees when he gets into bed.
02:47Yes.
02:48And the first thing he sees when he gets up in the morning
02:51and his hair's all disarranged.
02:5414 shillings.
02:55Tell you what, it's a bit irregular, but, um...
03:04I could let you have a sample for, well, sixpence, say?
03:10And then you could keep a little reminder of him wherever you go.
03:13Oh.
03:14Yes.
03:14Keep change.
03:35Mr. Buck.
03:37Didn't expect a welcoming committee.
03:38I thought I'd better prepare you.
03:41For what?
03:42There have been some changes since you went away on your long errand, Jack.
03:45Oh, by the way, Lord Belbrus' first folio.
03:48What did they say?
03:49Is it genuine?
03:50As his teeth.
03:52Oh, dear.
03:54Inside, please.
03:58What the hell?
04:00Close.
04:00Hollywood.
04:02Or rather, the nearest England can get to it.
04:05Yes, Jack.
04:07We're going to be in pictures.
04:09All right, then.
04:10Let's hear it.
04:11Now we're ready.
04:14Life and death.
04:16The whole world is here in this little patch of London town.
04:21You're going to do it like that?
04:25Life and death.
04:27The whole world here in this little...
04:28No, I think we'll just lose the line.
04:30I'm already worried about the...
04:32Nostarge.
04:34You'll be smashing in the background now.
04:37Let's take ten.
04:39Ten minutes, all.
04:41Ten minutes.
04:41Billy.
04:42Nerina.
04:43Rather jumpy this morning, isn't she?
04:45Our dear Sandra.
04:47We worked on the hours in the picture business, Nerina.
04:50Oh, don't I know it?
04:51And it must be so hard to keep that from telling on the faces of your stars.
04:56If you'll excuse me.
04:58Just the exteriors are being done here, you understand.
05:02The rest is at Ladyhurst.
05:04That's the studios.
05:05You see, I know all the jargon.
05:06Who's in it?
05:07Morning, Mr. B.
05:08Good morning.
05:10Stuart Howard.
05:11I like him.
05:14He's passed me by entirely, I'm afraid.
05:16He plays the hero.
05:17The idealistic young bookshop owner in love with the girl next door.
05:22Did you never see him in that submarine picture?
05:24He went mad and tried to throttle everyone.
05:26I mean, he was proper sweaty.
05:28Alash.
05:29Well, who else?
05:30Patience.
05:31You've literally arrived halfway through this picture.
05:33And you've yet to set eyes on our leading lady, who's also Stuart's fiancée.
05:38His real-life fiancée.
05:41Sandra there.
05:43She's using my room.
05:44He canted my thing so she can do her mascara, sip her Vichy water, whatever it is these people do.
05:50I had a cigarette card of her.
05:54Before the war, of course.
05:56Ah.
05:58Mr. Book.
05:59Ah.
06:00Not getting too much in your way, I trust?
06:02Not at all.
06:03Certainly an education.
06:05Larry Olivier calls film an anemic little medium.
06:08He's such a crashing snob.
06:10For he today would shed his blood with me, shall be my brother, be he ne'er so vile.
06:15Churlish when they gave him the Oscar.
06:16Jack, this is Mr. McKendrick.
06:19Delighted.
06:19Oh, but here's Nora.
06:20The gang's all here.
06:22So, you're all the director?
06:24And the writer.
06:25I thought you'd be older, with a monocle and a riding quad.
06:28I mustn't believe everything you read in the film magazines, young lady.
06:31I've seen you before.
06:33Mr. McKendrick had a lot of green penguins from us last summer.
06:36Oh, yeah.
06:38You look different.
06:39It's the shorts.
06:40I'm not wearing shorts.
06:42That's why you look different.
06:43Yes, you're very busy me, as I recall.
06:45You're always running about the place, weren't you, Mr. McKendrick?
06:47Jessie.
06:48Jessie.
06:49Ahem.
06:49Ah, hello, Norena.
06:53In search of material for your next article?
06:55Always.
06:56Well, the bin's around the back.
06:58Ahem.
07:00Aren't you going to introduce me?
07:01This is Mr. Book, from...
07:04Oh.
07:05The apostrophe man.
07:06They subbed your sign.

07:13Norena Bean.
07:15Picture-goer.
07:16If you have juicy titbits, my door is open.
07:19I'll bear that in mind.
07:20Nice fingers.
07:28But they're not real.
07:30Don't break a tooth.
07:31Oh.
07:31Don't break a tooth.
07:33Don't break a tooth.
07:34Don't break a tooth.
07:39It's lovely.
07:43Yeah.

07:47From his ceiling.

18:15Underneath Hardy Perennials, The Biography of Danton and the Stack of Unpaid Bales.
18:22Got anything on how to cook?
18:25I beg your pardon?
18:26That's what she needs.
18:28Can hardly boil a ruddy egg.
18:31How are your feet?
18:33Oh, how much better.
18:34Oh, I'll wait in the car.
18:39Ah, that's just a bomb.
18:41Oh, and I put this to one side too, on the house.
18:44What is it?
18:45Oh, just a little play, Ibsen, A Doll's House.
18:49It's about a woman who realises she's rather trapped, unfulfilled.
18:55But you might find it enlightening.
18:59Cheerio.
19:04How's business been?
19:06Booming.
19:08Goodbye to bullying.
19:09All the Stuart Howard fans are mad for it.
19:12Is he in the film version?
19:13That's what I'm telling them.
19:18I, er, better unpack.
19:21Oh, Jack, be a darling and fetch my bag from my room, would you?
19:24It's the green one with the amber glass.
19:29Right.
19:30I don't know.
19:58Ah.
19:58Ah.
20:28Oh, my God.
20:58You really think someone tried to kill me?
21:13It really looks that way.
21:15Good God.
21:17At least we'll be back at Ladyhurst tonight.
21:19Are you sure you're okay to shoot?
21:21I'd have to be, wouldn't I?
21:22Deirdre?
21:24See me?
21:26My memory.
21:26Sandra?
21:27Are you ready?
21:28Ready?
21:29My exclusive.
21:31Oh, excuse me.
21:34I promised an interview.
21:36Harold.
21:36Mr.
21:37Marina, I can give you two minutes.
21:41Necessary evil, I suppose.
21:44I must feed the machine.
21:45You must look.
21:45Ah.
21:50Finally.
21:54If you'd be so great.
21:56You know my motto.
21:58If you've nothing nice to say, come and sit by me.
22:02And here you are.
22:04Sitting by me.
22:06Ah, yes.
22:07Yes, but I do have something nice to say, Marina.
22:09Oh?
22:11Lovelorn in London is the first of a new three-picture deal.
22:15A deal Stuart and I have signed on for.
22:20Isn't that marvellous?
22:22Marvellous.
22:24And you're shooting interiors at Ladyhurst, aren't you?
22:27Not exactly MGM, is it, Ladyhurst?
22:30Oh, it'll do nicely.
22:33You know the place, though, don't you?
22:35You make plenty of pictures there in the past.
22:38I like the one where you played the simple crofter's daughter who married a duke.
22:42Ahem, yes.
22:43And the one where you played a simple fisherman's daughter who married a duke magnet.
22:48Yes.
22:49I always forget what duke is.
22:51It's a kind of fibre.
22:53People make bags with it.
22:56What's the first film you made there, Sandra?
23:00At Ladyhurst?
23:02Hmm.
23:03Um, I don't know.
23:06Uh, Springtime for Mary, I think.
23:10Oh, about a simple blacksmith's daughter who married...
23:13All right.
23:16I think it was quite a bit before that.
23:20But you know, our readers would be fascinated to learn that not all Sandra Day's pictures were talking pictures.
23:27I love those old inter-titles, Came the Dawn and all that.
23:33Or I can check the date later, Deidre.
23:37That is your real name, isn't it?
23:39The one you used to go by, Deidre Piddock.
23:44Or perhaps you should concentrate on the present, Noreena.
23:49Well?
23:50Someone is trying to kill me.
23:52Jesse and I are taking Sandra for supper.
24:07Trying to take her mind off things.
24:09If that's not inappropriate under the circumstances.
24:12Well, one must eat.
24:14Where are you going?
24:15Wheeler's?
24:15No.
24:16Camille's.
24:17On the Strand.
24:18Good choice.
24:18Don't have the oysters.
24:23I saw them taking that girl away.
24:26I assumed it was an accident.
24:28Poisoned chocolates.
24:29Really?
24:30And they were intended for me.
24:33And that poor, sad girl intercepted them.
24:36Oh, what?
24:37How's that for an exclusive?
24:39Tragic.
24:40And what an angle.
24:43Oh, sorry.
24:44That was crass of me.
24:46But still...
24:46What an angle.
24:49Well, there's your story, Noreena.
24:52You ready, darling?
24:53Oh, yeah.
24:54I was just leaving.
24:56Congratulations on the new contract, Stuart.
25:04Much to chew on.
25:07Always lovely to see you.
25:12Trust the lady, Hursties, in five minutes.
25:14Five minutes, everyone.
25:17What are you waiting for?
25:18The last post?
25:21Mr. Masterson.
25:23What a pleasure to see you again.
25:25The Reign of Bane.
25:27Looking lovely as ever.
25:29What can I do for you?
25:37Here we go.
25:39Tarr.
25:46We met through, um, picture-goer.
25:49Me and Barbara, I mean.
25:50There's lots of correspondence, you see.
25:53Like-minded folk finding each other.
25:54Someone to dare, fans.
25:56Some.
25:57And the other big names, too.
25:59There's a hairdresser I know who's potty on James Mason.
26:03But, you know, Stuart was our favourite.
26:07That's why we...
26:08Why we chose to get jobs as extras.
26:10To get close.
26:12Oh, you're doing very well, my dear.
26:15You admit to taking the chocolates?
26:21Yeah.
26:21I'm awfully sorry.
26:24We just couldn't resist them.
26:25We saw them there on the table when the bookshop and...
26:29I mean, chocks.
26:31Come on, it's been years.
26:33They were through there?
26:35Yeah, just through there.
26:37What did you do with the note?
26:42Note?
26:43Well, there was obviously an enclosure of some kind.
26:48It's not there now.
26:49What did you do with it?
26:50I...
26:51I...
26:52I didn't see any note.
26:58It was over there, look.
26:59On the table.
27:03It's funny how easy it is to get close to them.
27:07The stars, I mean.
27:08Sally Gray once brushed past me in the powder room at the Walsingham.
27:12You opened the box.
27:14Maybe the card fell out.
27:18Do you have...
27:19back issues?
27:21Picture-goer, I mean.
27:23Of course.
27:23January 35 onwards.
27:25Would you be so good as to let us have them?
27:27Of course.
27:27Yes.
27:27I know that look.
27:42Oh, dog.
27:44You naughty boy.
27:47This, sir.
27:49This, sir.
27:50Session.
27:51Well, I'm going for it.
27:53Session, sir.
27:54He gives you full pay for that.
27:56Oh.
27:57He does.
27:58He's got a card.
28:01We're sure he knows about it.
28:04Yeah, he does know where we are.
28:05Thank you, Miss Bruce.
28:06You've been most helpful.
28:10Uh, uh, constable?
28:22Well?
28:25Oh, Stuart.
28:27Oh, Stuart, my love.
28:28There's so much I want to say to you.
28:30From that moment on the submarine, I knew.
28:34Your look of concentration.
28:35Your strength.
28:36We were destined to love each other.
28:39Ship of shame.
28:40Good picture, that one.
28:41They were meant for him.
28:43They were meant for him.
28:44We imagine we control our passions, but they direct us to the stars we strive, despite adversity.
28:55They drive ordinary people to extraordinary actions, like injecting strychnine into strawberry creams.
29:01So, Stuart, my own best darling, I implore you not to try.
29:08Follow your heart, break off your engagement, and we can be together, you and I, my sweetest boy, in life, or in the cold, cold tomb of death.
29:21And if one proves impossible, I'll take the other, joyously.
29:27Well, that seems pretty clear.
29:28If the writer can't have him, nobody can.
29:30So we're looking for a film fanatic.
29:32Fanatic being the word.
29:34That would be the obvious explanation.
29:35All right, then.
29:37Bring me up to speed.
29:39What do we know about this film, Will?
29:43Stuart Howard.
29:45Proof that smouldering Latin books sometimes occur spontaneously in Bermondsey.
29:50He and Sandra have bound their careers together, the nation's sweethearts.
29:55But who can know the truth of it?
29:57He's an actor, and he's young and ruthless and rather over-rewarded.
30:02It appears to be hopelessly in love with someone else.
30:04Who?
30:05Himself.
30:08Then there's the Honourable Jesse McKendrick.
30:11He lived in rooms on the lane last year just for a few weeks.
30:14Witch boy, slumming it for the summer.
30:16Ran up and down like a billy goat.
30:18He was always pounding the streets in his plimsolls.
30:20Left when it got cold.
30:21Ran straight back to Daddy's place.
30:23In Wiltshire, I think.
30:25I'm sure I looked it up.
30:27And then we must presume wrote his script on the private lives of the proletariat.
30:32Thank you so much for joining me.
30:33Good neighbour, was he?
30:34Didn't pay much attention, to be honest.
30:37I find that hard to believe.
30:38Well, he was obviously taking notes on how to run a bookshop.
30:42And Miss Dash, she had a rich husband who died, didn't she?
30:44An Italian national.
30:46Is that why they went to the States?
30:48Well, if they'd stayed, he'd have been interned as an enemy alien.
30:50I suppose that they preferred the Californian sunshine.
30:53That's made me think rather better of her.
30:55I thought she was just running away from the bombs.
30:58What about Billy?
31:00Clapper boy.
31:01Positions, please.
31:02And from the look of it, Stuart Howard's now ex-whipping boy.
31:05Doesn't seem to be much love lost there.
31:08They pose a lot, don't they, these film stars?
31:12Why is he marrying her, do you think?
31:16To show she's still here.
31:19To show she knows what the audience wants.
31:21Stuart Howard's just arrived at the top, ain't he?
31:23Saja's been there for years, but she can only stay there for so long.
31:35Very perceptive of you, Jack.
31:38What a brutal business this is.
31:43It captures people in time, then they change, and it mocks them for it.
31:51Right, I'm gonna get on to the film security people, see if anyone saw who dropped the chocolates
31:58off.
31:59What will you do now?
32:02Jack and I are taking this note to dinner.
32:21up.
32:24That's lovely.
32:28Oh, is that lovely?
32:29Dad!
32:30Dad!
32:31Dad!
32:32Dad!
32:33Dad!
32:34Dad!
32:35Dad!
32:36Dad!
32:37Dad!
32:38Jesus Christ.
32:39Me!
32:40You?
32:41You have no idea how draining it is, Mr. Book.
32:48Glad-handing.
32:49Scribbling one's autograph, failing to recognize someone whom you apparently met at a village
32:53fate ten years ago, and the smiling, great god, the smiling.
32:58This is simply the next step.
33:00They can only love once so much, and there's only one way to go from there.
33:07Can I bloody well eat after that?
33:14Well, a crazed fan is only the most obvious theory, but we don't like to be obvious, do
33:19Jack?
33:20What?
33:21Oh.
33:22No.
33:23No, we don't.
33:24Sir, if I might repurpose the inspector's earlier question, can you think of anyone who
33:27might want to kill you, Mr. Howard?
33:29Take your ruddy pick.
33:31There's quite a lot of angry ladies out there, not to mention their husbands, Savile Row tailors,
33:37producers, directors, writers, my ex-agent, my ex-ex-agent, Uncle Tom Conway and all.
33:44And what about prison?
33:46What?
33:47You started to eat your dinner with your spoon.
33:52Ah.
33:53Old habits.
33:54Dead giveaway.
33:56Takes one to know one.
33:59I was younger than you.
34:01Nothing too terrible.
34:03But I shouldn't like it to get into the popular press, Mr. Book.
34:08I should think not.
34:12Where'd they get you from?
34:13I went for a drive.
34:14Where?
34:15Through a ferrier's window in Mayfair.
34:18You?
34:19Went to the bank to make a withdrawal.
34:21You have a stocking over your face?
34:23Yeah.
34:24My mother's.
34:27I'm a Bermondsey boy, Jack.
34:29Rough as a sailor's arse.
34:31Despite all of this.
34:33Do you think it could have something to do with that?
34:37The prison?
34:38Well, as you've indicated, it's a wide field.
34:41Tell you what, why don't you take on young Jack here as your new factotum?
34:45Huh?
34:46No harm in having a strapping young fellow like him hanging around and you are looking for a new assistant.
34:50Yeah.
34:51I can't.
34:52I've already got a job at the bookshop.
34:53Well, I'm sure I can spare you for a few days and you know how Nora loves to help out.
34:57Well.
34:58Splendid.
34:59Yes.
35:00This is a good idea.
35:01You know, Mr. Book, you should all come to Ladyhurst.
35:03Help us get the details right and keep an eye on things.
35:07You'll be delighted.
35:08Thank you for the ease.
35:09I'm the film star.
35:11You all right?
35:12Yeah.
35:13I want to be.
35:14I'll leave you to it then.
35:15Let me know if anything interesting turns up.
35:16Oh, and be careful.
35:17There is a killer on the loose.
35:18Good night.
35:19Good night.
35:20Yes, sir.
35:21What's your poison?
35:22Varsity's sp agree, but I'm not afraid.
35:23… What do you want to say if I am...
35:24… Ward-Warsity's sp rang.
35:25Yeah, well, I'll leave you to it then.
35:26Let me know if anything interesting turns up.
35:27Oh, and be careful.
35:28There is a killer on the loose.
35:29Mhm?
35:32Good night.
35:33Good night.
35:34Yes, sir.
35:35What's your poison?
35:37Varsity's sparingly with a harper.
35:51Varsity's Sporting Review.
35:57There you are.
36:21What's this?
36:31Come on. It's usually around now that you deign to share.
36:38Three things then.
36:40Who would benefit from Love, London, London collapsing?
36:43What was missing from that box of chocolates?
36:45It was lying there with all the other fan mail.
36:47But no envelope.
36:48Top of the class, Mrs. Book.
36:50So, unless the envelope was disposed of...
36:53The chocolates didn't arrive by post.
36:55So anyone on the films there could have put it there.
36:58Precisely.
36:59And finally, the chocolate method, haphazard though it was,
37:02has been tried and failed.
37:04Which means whoever's behind this...
37:05Is going to try again.
37:07What are you going to do?
37:09We're invited to the film studios tomorrow.
37:11And Jack has a new job.
37:13The Stuart Howard stand-in.
37:17When are we going to tell him?
37:21Not yet.
37:24Shall I read?
37:26Well, I know how you enjoy it, so I'll humour you.
37:30Punch up then.
37:36Oh, there it is.
37:37I've been fretting about that since we moved my stuff to accommodate the stars.
37:45Then fret not, dear.
37:47And recall our solemn pact.
37:49Cave of fancy.
37:50I've seen some dives in my time for this.
38:03So dirty.
38:04So shady.
38:06The pansies in my garden abhor the shade.
38:11Right.
38:12Sir.
38:13It is sir.
38:14Is it?
38:15Let's find you on my list.
38:16Name.
38:17Occupation.
38:18Marital status.
38:19Engaged.
38:20Who are you?
38:21Medical officer's struck with Perry.
38:22Trotty to my friends.
38:23Lady for the Gary Baldy Brigade.
38:24And I don't mean the biscuits.
38:25I can pull out shrapnel.
38:26I can strip it to Shanker in under two seconds.
38:27And I want to call it south of the Urba, which I wouldn't recommend even to you, Sergeant.
38:28And I never, ever leave a man behind.
38:29He's sitting there.
38:30And I'm getting married to him next Saturday.
38:31And the chief constable's daughter is one of our bridesmaids.
38:32So if I were you, I'd just admit the error right away and cross him off his face with
38:58If I were you, I'd just admit the error right away and cross him off your list.
39:03What say you?
39:10Trotty.
39:12Is that today all right for you?
39:14Forecast is good.
39:16Quite all right, Trotty.
39:22Kiss me.
39:26Oh.
39:29Where would I be without you?
39:33I think we both know the answer to that, my love.
39:40Anyway.
39:42You are going to read.
39:45Of course.
39:58I've just noticed you.
39:59Yeah, they always notice me.
40:00Girls.
40:01It doesn't mean anything.
40:02It's like when kids pointed dogs in the street and say, dog.
40:04Yeah, what are you getting married soon, Sam?
40:05I may have seen it in a column by Lorena Bean, but let me tell you something, Jack.
40:06I've never gone down on one knee to anyone.
40:07Sandra, what the question ended, see?
40:08I can imagine that.
40:09Most of the questions are from her business manager.
40:11Oh.
40:12Oh.
40:13Oh.
40:15So you've got an arrangement then?
40:16I shouldn't drink so much, should I?
40:17Yes, an arrangement.
40:18Yes, an arrangement.
40:19But we all have those, don't we?
40:20Well, we all have those, don't we?
40:21Oh.
40:22Oh.
40:23Oh.
40:24Oh.
40:25Book has one with Mrs. Book if we're talking about unusual marriages.
40:26No, then why'd you say Book's marriages are from you?
40:27Oh, no.
40:28Oh.
40:29Oh, no, no, no.
40:30I don't know.
40:31But I'll tell you what I'm seeing in a column by Lorena Bean, but let me tell you something,
40:32Jack, I've never gone down on one knee to anyone.
40:33Sandra, what the question ended, see?
40:34I can imagine that.
40:35Most of the questions are from a business manager.
40:37Oh.
40:38Oh.
40:39Oh.
40:40So you've got an arrangement, then?
40:43I shouldn't drink so much, should I?
40:45Yes, an arrangement.
40:46We all have those, don't we?
40:49You have one with Book.
40:50Book has one with Mrs. Book if we're talking about unusual marriages.
40:53Why'd you say Book's marriage is unusual?
40:57You're like him. Book.
40:59How?
41:00Because you read.
41:01So go on, read me.
41:07Well, um...
41:11You keep coming here because you think this is the sort of place that film stars go.
41:15But here's the thing.
41:17You don't like it here.
41:19You hate it.
41:21And you hate that drink, too.
41:23Like a pudding from the war.
41:25So you're thinking, how can I be the chap I was?
41:29You know, before I knew that the camera loved me.
41:32Which is a terrible thing to know.
41:34It's not all it's cracked up to be. Can you believe that?
41:36Yeah, I wouldn't mind a bit of it.
41:37Careful what you wish for, son.
41:39Got someone sending me poison in the post, remember?
41:44I was a bit stuck when I met Sandra.
41:47Typecast.
41:49Not officer material, they said.
41:51It was a problem, kid.
41:53Sandra changed that.
41:55Pulled strings, whispered in ears.
41:57Producers started casting us as lovers.
41:59They were lovers by then, of course.
42:01Do you love her now?
42:03Oh, no, don't. I hate her.
42:06You won't be your own man.
42:10Of course I do.
42:12But it's impossible, isn't it?
42:13We're a pair.
42:14Like Hope and Crosby.
42:16Fred and Ginger.
42:17Garbo and Gilbert.
42:18Yeah, except he left, didn't he?
42:19What?
42:20John Gilbert.
42:22Didn't survive when the talkies came.
42:24Yeah.
42:25So it's all an act then.
42:28You and her.
42:30Golden couple.
42:31All an act.
42:32As much an artifice as Stuart Howard himself.
42:36Film is for dreamers, you see, Jack.
42:40When you sit there in the dark,
42:42there has to be space for you up there.
42:45In that kiss.
42:47Those scenes in the moonlight.
42:49Standing by the rail of a ship.
42:51You just read in the fan mags
42:53that the screen lovers have broken off the engagement.
42:55Can't stand to be in a room together.
42:57And there's no space to dream.
43:10When you came up with Kai,
43:11why don't you do nothing else?
43:12I tell you how many weeks ago…
43:13If you do nothing…
43:14You want to?
43:15Get shut.
43:16If all you normally meet,
43:17you'll just leave your head like this.
43:18You can save that.
43:19I've got a funny idea.
43:21I'm nothingconscious.
43:22I really highlight a nightmare.
43:23And I have帶 you back the window.
43:24I honestly think he has done that no matter what you want to be.
43:38You and Jim, whom you can see the rest?
43:39I don't know.
44:09I don't know.
44:39I don't know.
44:41I don't know.
44:43Scene 49, take 8.
44:49And...
44:50Action.
44:52It was then I knew
44:54we had fallen in love from the pages
44:56of a book.
44:57But was that love strong enough to thrive
45:00out in the teeming world?
45:01Can we, um, try it again
45:04without him reading in? I can do it
45:06in time.
45:06Yes, of course.
45:08Reset.
45:12Rolling.
45:13Sandra.
45:15And...
45:16Action.
45:17Oh, God, I don't know.
45:28I'm so sorry, Jessie.
45:30Can I beg ten minutes?
45:33Siggy will sort me out.
45:34Cut it there.
45:35Cut it there.
45:36Right.
45:37I'll stay in a bit.
45:38Ten minutes off.
45:40Back at five past.
45:44Is that a coffee, sir?
45:45No.
45:46Get out of here.
45:48I'll see you, sir.
45:49Take care.
45:49I'll see you.
45:50I'll see you next time.
45:51I'll see you next time.
45:52What if it's going to be, no?
45:53No.
45:54No.
45:54No.
45:55No.
45:57No.
45:58No.
45:59No.
45:59No.
45:59No.
46:00No.
46:01No.
46:01No.
46:03No.
46:05No.
46:09No.
46:10No.
46:11No.
46:11No.
46:12No.
46:12No.
46:13No.
46:14No.
46:16I don't know.
46:46I don't know.
47:16Eric Percival Banks, she's been married before.
47:30I don't know.
47:31I don't know.
47:32I don't know.
47:33I don't know.
47:35I don't know.
47:36I don't know.
47:38I don't know.
47:39I don't know.
47:40I don't know.
47:41I don't know.
47:42I don't know.
47:43I don't know.
47:44I don't know.
47:45I don't know.
47:46I don't know.
47:47I don't know.
47:48I don't know.
47:49I don't know.
47:50I don't know.
47:51I don't know.
47:52I don't know.
47:53I don't know.
47:54You're up early.
47:55Oh, I thought you might want a tea.
48:01I don't know.
48:02I don't know.
48:03I don't know.
48:04I don't know.
48:05I don't know.
48:06I don't know.
48:07I don't know.
48:08I don't know.
48:09I don't know.
48:10I don't know.
48:11I don't know.
48:12I don't know.
48:13I don't know.
48:14I don't know.
48:15I don't know.
48:16I don't know.
48:17I don't know.
48:18I don't know.
48:19I don't know.
48:20Hey kid.
48:21You want to be in pictures?
48:22Your name's not on the list.
48:24Who are you?
48:25We're antiquarian booksellers.
48:26Isn't it obvious?
48:27And I know we're being extra vigilant, Jerry Love, but they're with me.
48:36They're with me.
48:38Alright.
49:06What's this?
49:07The address of Barbara Markham's parents.
49:11I'll go visit them.
49:13No, no.
49:14There's the inquest first.
49:16Let's write them a kind letter.
49:18I will.
49:19Thanks book.
49:21You boys in for the biggest surprise are your lies.
49:28Keep going.
49:30Better this way.
49:32More dramatic.
49:34Geordi.
49:36Can I get some lights on please?
49:38Yes.
49:39Amazing.
49:40It's absurd.
49:41Ridiculous.
49:42The bizarre exaggeration of reality.
49:56It is wonderful.
