　　[INT. ENTRYWAY - EVENING]
　　[The footmen take the guests' coats as Robert enters.]
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　Hello again. It's a pleasure to meet you at last, Mrs Crawley.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　We're delighted to be here, aren't we, Matthew?
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　Delighted.
　　[Robert leads them into the great hall where the house staff are lined up as the family enters from the other side.]
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Welcome to Downton.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Thank you. You've been so kind.
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　What a reception committee.
　　[The family is surprised and amused by his comment. Isobel senses the awkwardness 1 of his comment and tries to recover.]
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Yes, thank you.
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　This is Carson. We'd all be lost without him. Mama, may I present Matthew Crawley and Mrs Crawley, my mother, Lady Grantham.
　　[Isobel steps forward and holds out her hand.]
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　What should we call each other?
　　VIOLET 2, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Well, we could always start with Mrs Crawley and Lady Grantham.
　　[Cora steps forward to guide Isobel.]
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Come into the drawing room and we can make all the proper introductions.
　　[Violet looks at Carson, who tries to contain his amused smirk 3. The family moves into the next room.]
　　[INT. DINING ROOM - EVENING]
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　Do you think you'll enjoy village life? It will be very quiet after life in the city.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Even Manchester.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　I'm sure I'll find something to keep me busy.
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　You might like the hospital.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　What sort of hospital is it? How many beds?
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Well, it--it isn't really a hospital.
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　Don't let Dr Clarkson hear you. He thinks it's second only to St Thomas's.
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　It's a cottage hospital, of course, but quite well equipped.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Who pays for it?
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Oh, good. Let's talk about money.
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　My father gave the building and an endowment to run it. In a way, he set up his own memorial.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　But how splendid.
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　And Mr Lloyd George's new insurance measures will help.
　　[Mr Carson notices a tear in William's uniform coat.]
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Please don't speak that man's name, we are about to eat.
　　[Thomas leans forward over Matthew's shoulder with the first dish.]
　　THOMAS
　　I will hold it steady and you can help yourself, sir.
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　Yes, I know. Thank you.
　　[Robert notes the exchange and Mary smiles.]
　　LADY MARY
　　You'll soon get used to the way things are done here.
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　If you mean that I'm accustomed to a very different life from this, then that is true.
　　LADY SYBIL
　　What will you do with your time?
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　I've got a job in Ripon. I said I'll start tomorrow.
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　A job?
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　In a partnership 4. You might have heard of it, Havel and Carter. They need someone who understands industrial law, I'm glad to say. Although, I'm afraid most of it will be wills and conveyancing.
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　You do know I mean to involve you in the running of the estate 5?
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　Oh, don't worry. There are plenty of hours in the day. And, of course, I'll have the weekend.
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　We'll discuss this later. We mustn't bore the ladies.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　What--what is a weekend?
　　[INT. KITCHENS - EVENING]
　　DAISY
　　Why shouldn't he be a lawyer?
　　MISS O'BRIEN
　　Gentlemen don't work, silly. Not real gentlemen.
　　ANNA
　　Don't listen to her, Daisy.
　　MRS PATMORE
　　No, listen to me! And take those kidneys 6 up to the serve room before I knock you down and serve your brains as fritters!
　　DAISY
　　Yes, Mrs Patmore!
　　ANNA
　　I wonder what that Mr Molesley make of them.
　　THOMAS
　　Poor old Molesley. I pity the man who's taken that job.
　　MR BATES
　　Then why did you apply for it?
　　THOMAS
　　I thought it might help me to get away from you, Mr Bates.
　　[INT. GREAT HALL - EVENING]
　　[The ladies exit the dining room.]
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY (to Cora)
　　I'm so interested to see the hospital.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Mm, well, you would be with your late husband a doctor.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Not just my husband, my father and brother, too, and I trained as a nurse during the war.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Oh, fancy 7.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　I'd love to be involved in some way.
　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Well, you could always help with the bring and buy sale next month. That would be most appreciated.
　　[The girls exchange amused smiles as they follow behind. Thomas bows as they pass his post.]
　　[INT. SERVANTS' CORRIDOR 8 - EVENING]
　　[Thomas talks to a housemaid on their way down the stairs.]
　　THOMAS
　　I should say so. She's a match for the old lady. She wasn't going to give in.
　　MR CARSON
　　What old lady are you referring to, Thomas? You cannot mean Her Ladyship the Dowager Countess. Not if you wish to remain in this house.
　　THOMAS
　　No, Mr Carson.
　　[Carson passes Thomas to enter the servants' hall where William is playing the piano as the others visit with each other. They stand as Carson enters.]
　　MR CARSON
　　William? Are you aware the seam 9 at your shoulder is coming apart?
　　WILLIAM
　　I--I felt it go a bit earlier. I'll mend it when we turn in.
　　MR CARSON
　　You will mend it now and you will never again appear in public in a similar state of undress.
　　WILLIAM
　　No, Mr Carson.
　　MR CARSON
　　To progress in your chosen career, William, you must remember that a good servant at all times retains 10 a sense of pride and dignity that reflects the pride and dignity of the family he serves. And never make me remind you of it again.
　　[Carson leaves.]
　　DAISY
　　I'll do it.
　　[Daisy helps William remove his coat.]
　　DAISY
　　And cheer up. We've all had a smack 11 from Mr Carson.
　　ANNA
　　You'll be the butler yourself one day. Then you'll do the smacking 12.
　　WILLIAM
　　I could never be like him. I bet 13 he comes from a line of butlers that goes back to the conqueror 14.
　　MR BATES
　　He learned 15 his business and so will you. Even Mr Carson wasn't born standing 16 to attention.
　　THOMAS
　　I hope not for his mother's sake 17.
