唐顿庄园第二季第六集_10
[INT. SERVANT'S HALL - EVENING]
MR CARSON
A German republic? No, I don't think so, Mr Branson. The Kaiser will go, I grant you, and maybe the Crown Prince, too, but there'll be a regency, mark my words. Monarchy 1 is the lifeblood of Europe.
BRANSON
Sorry, Mr Carson, but I think you'll find the kings and emperors've had their day, if President Wilson has anything to say about it.
MR BATES
I'll have to go up to London.
ANNA
But what will you say to her that you haven't said already?
MR BATES
I don't know, but I know staying here won't make any difference.
O'BRIEN
You're always going up and down to London these days, Mr Bates.
MR BATES
I have business in London.
O'BRIEN
Oh, yes? Well, judging by your expression, your business doesn't seem to be prospering 2.
ANNA
The trick of business is mind your own.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
I'm sorry to disturb you, but I--
[There's a great shuffling 3 of chairs and silverware as the servants all stand.]
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
I've just heard news from the war office and I thought you'd all like to know...that the war is over.
[There is much rejoicing.]
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Cease fire will begin at eleven o'clock on the morning of the eleventh of November.
MRS PATMORE
Why can't it begin now?
THOMAS
The eleventh of the eleventh seem pretty tidy to me.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
We will mark the moment in the great hall, and I expect all of you, including the kitchen staff and hall boys, everyone, to be there. And Carson...
[Robert motions for Carson to step aside with him. Mrs Patmore hugs Daisy.]
MRS PATMORE
Oh, such good news.
MRS HUGHES
Is there anymore glass [?]
[The servants all drink a toast.]
ALL
To peace.
[INT. CRAWLEY HOUSE - DAY]
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
The truth is, Cora, there is a reason for inviting 4 you here today and I very much fear I'm going to be a great disappointment to you.
[Cora cringes as she waits for the unpleasant news that Isobel might continue to invade Downton.]
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Oh?
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Cousin Violet is, in part, to blame.
VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Yes, I usually am.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
It was she who drew my attention to the plight 5 of the war refugees. I feel very guilty since I chivvied you and now I'm jumping ship. But I can't run Downton as well.
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
You must go where you can make a difference.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Well, this is what I think, but I hope you'll consider keeping the house open without me.
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
I must be honest with you. It was your idea, not ours, so I doubt very much we'll go on with it now. But what does that matter when one thinks of the work you'll be doing? Don't you agree, Mama?
VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Well-- I-- I can't find the words to say how I feel. What do you-- what do you think Molesley?
MR MOLESLEY
Sometimes fate knows best, milady.
VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
I couldn't put it better myself.
ISOBEL CRAWLEY
Well.
[INT. MOTORCAR - DAY]
[Branson drives the motorcar away from Isobel Crawley's house.]
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
There really is something for her to do?
VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
Absolutely. It's all set up. I had to promise to be a patron, but it seemed a small price to pay.
CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
I know it was for Robert and the girls, but I thank you without irony 6 from the bottom of my heart.
VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
And I accept your thanks, my dear, with no trace of irony either.
[They grin at each other.]
[INT. GREAT HALL - DAY]
LADY EDITH
Lawyers take forever to answer anything, so they can charge more.
PATRICK GORDON
But the others don't believe me, do they? Not like you.
LADY EDITH
I think they want to be certain
PATRICK GORDON
But how can they ever be? If the lawyer casts even the slightest doubt, won't that give them the excuse to cut me out and stay with Matthew? If only one of them recognised me!
LADY EDITH
They will do. Soon.
PATRICK GORDON
No, they won't. They've forgotten me.
[Patrick slams the table. Everyone looks over, including Sybil.] PATRICK GORDON
I'm a stranger to them now!
[Everyone turns back to their own tables pretending as if nothing happened.]
LADY EDITH
You're not a stranger to me.
[Patrick doesn't seem to take comfort in this.]
