　　[THE VILLAGE - DAY]
　　[Matthew and Isobel ride in a motorcar.]
　　TAYLOR
　　Here we are, ma'am. Crawley House.
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　For good or ill.
　　[The chauffeur 1 opens the door for them.]
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　I still don't see why I couldn't just refuse it.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　There's no mechanism 2 for you to do so. You will be an earl. You will inherit the estate. Of course, you can throw it away with your habit, that's up to you.
　　[A man comes out to meet them.]
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　Can I help?
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　I'm Molesley, sir, your butler and valet.
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　Mr Molesley, I'm afraid--
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　May I introduce ourselves? I am Mrs Crawley, and this is my son, Mr Matthew Crawley.
　　MR MOLESLEY (nods)
　　I'll just give Mr Taylor a hand with the cases.
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　I can--
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Thank you, Molesley.
　　[Molesley helps with the luggage and Matthew sulks alongside his mother.]
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　I won't let them change me.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Why would they want to?
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　Mother, Lord Grantham has made the unwelcome discovery that heir is a middleclass lawyer and son of a middleclass doctor.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Upper middleclass.
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　He'll have to limit the damage by turning me into me into one of his own kind.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　When you met him in London, you liked him.
　　[INT. MAIN STAIRCASE - DAY]
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　I simply do not understand why we are rushing into this.
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　Matthew Crawley is my heir.
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Patrick was your heir; he never lived here.
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　Patrick was in and out of this house since the day he was born. You saw how many of the village turned out for the service.
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　But nothing's settled yet.
　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
　　It is settled, my dearest one, whether you like it or not.
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　I wouldn't say that. Not while your mother breathes air.
　　[INT. CRAWLEY HOUSE - DAY]
　　[The Crawleys' housemaid leads them through the new house.]
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Oh, Ellen. This is much better than I thought it would be. You have done well.
　　ELLEN
　　Thank you, ma'am.
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　Would you like this in here, ma'am, or taken up to your room?
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　In here, thank you. So, are you the whole of our new household?
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　There's a local girl, ma'am, Beth. She to double under housemaid and kitchen maid.
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　This is ridiculous--
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Thank you very much, Molesley. Might we have some tea?
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　Very good, ma'am.
　　[The servants leave.]
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　We can go right now.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Why?
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　Because we do not need a butler or a  valet, if it comes to that. We've always managed perfectly 3 well with a cook and a maid and they cannot expect us to alter our--
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　What they expect, Matthew, is that we won't know how to behave. So, if you don't mind, I would rather not confirm their expectations.
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　I have to be myself, Mother. I'll be no use to anyone if I can't be myself. And before they, or you, get any ideas, I will choose my own wife.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　What on earth do you mean?
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　Well, they're clearly going to push one of the daughters at me. They'll have fixed 4 on that when they heard I was a bachelor.
　　[Molesley enters to announce...]
　　MR MOLESLEY
　　Lady Mary Crawley.
　　[Matthew turns, stunned 5.]
　　LADY MARY
　　I do hope I'm not interrupting.
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Lady Mary.
　　LADY MARY
　　Cousin Mary, please. Mama has sent me down to welcome you and to ask you to dine with us tonight. Unless you're too tired.
　　[Matthew stares at Mary.]
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　We would be delighted.
　　LADY MARY
　　Good. Come at eight.
　　[Mary turns to go.]
　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY
　　Won't you stay and have some tea.
　　LADY MARY
　　Oh, no. You're far too busy.
　　[Mary finally looks at Matthew.]
　　LADY MARY
　　And I wouldn't want to push in.
　　[Matthew takes that blow for a moment before going after Mary outside. Mary is already astride her horse with a servant mounting another horse next to her.]
　　LADY MARY
　　Lynch, I think we'll go back by the south road.
　　LYNCH
　　Very good, my lady.
　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY
　　Lady Mary, I hope you didn't misunderstand me. I was only joking.
　　LADY MARY
　　Of course. And I agree. The whole thing is a complete joke.
　　[Mary rides off.]
　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - EVENING]
　　THOMAS
　　So, what do you think we'll make of them?
　　MISS O'BRIEN
　　I shouldn't think much. She hasn't even got a lady's maid.
　　ANNA
　　It's not a capital offense 6.
　　MR BATES
　　She's got a maid; her name's Ellen. She came a day early.
　　MISS O'BRIEN
　　She's not a lady's maid. She's just a housemaid that fastens hooks and buttons when she has to. There's more to it than that, you know.
　　[Mrs Patmore shouts in the kitchens.]
　　MRS PATMORE
　　Daisy!
　　ANNA
　　We'll want some very precise reporting when dinner's over.
　　WILLIAM
　　Are we to treat him as the heir?
　　MISS O'BRIEN
　　Are we heck as like. A doctor's son from Manchester? Humph. He'll be lucky if he gets a civil word out of me.
　　ANNA
　　We're all lucky if we get a civil word out of you.
　　[Carson enters with a package and the other servants stand.]
　　MR CARSON
　　Gwen, parcel for you. Came by the evening post.
　　GWEN
　　Thank you, Mr Carson.
　　[Carson motions for the servants to sit.]
　　MR CARSON
　　William?
　　THOMAS
　　Have you seen him yet, Mr Carson?
　　MR CARSON
　　By \"them\", I assume you mean the new family, in which case, no. I have that pleasure to look forward to this evening.
　　[Mrs Patmore enters.]
　　MRS PATMORE
　　Daisy, did you hear me call, or have you gone selectively deaf?!
　　DAISY
　　No, Mrs Patmore.
　　MRS PATMORE
　　Then might I remind you we are preparing dinner for your future employer, and if it goes wrong, I'll be telling them why!
　　[Daisy rushes after Mrs Patmore.]
　　[INT. LADY MARY'S BEDROOM - EVENING]
　　LADY MARY
　　Why are they here at all when you're going to undo 7 it?
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Your father's not convinced it can be undone 8.
　　LADY MARY
　　But you'll still try?
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Granny and I are willing to try.
　　LADY MARY
　　And Papa is not?
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　We'll bring him 'round, you'll see. We're trying to find lawyer who'll take it on. So, what are they like?
　　LADY MARY
　　She's nice enough, but he's...very full of himself.
　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM
　　Why do you say that?
　　LADY MARY
　　Just an impression. Let's go down and you can decide for yourself.
