00:06:22 (Carrington) Don't you like Ottoline?
00:11:13 Why don't you stay the night?
00:15:39 if you saw a German soldier raping your sister?
00:18:49 in some entirely ridiculous war they seem quite unable to grasp
00:21:25 Surely it wouldn't be right to plant nothing but cabbages and cauliflowers.
00:25:36 Let's see if we can't avoid all this, shall we?
00:29:12 Anything you like, Lytton.
00:35:06 So, would you mind if I left you directly after dinner?
00:40:40 My God!
00:43:43 - That's not the point. - Of course it is.
00:47:56 "l am confident, had I been damn'd in hell, and should have heard of this
00:51:04 - (Lytton) Yes, but will I like him? - Gerald? I don't see why not.
00:54:42 Oh. Well, never mind.
00:59:06 - A great deal of difference. - It's just a piece of paper.
01:02:36 But of course that is absurd.
01:08:27 I feel as if I'm drowning.
01:13:53 All right. Let's go through this step by step, shall we?
01:17:07 Tell him.
01:21:29 No, it's more than that.
01:25:05 I've done something rather impulsive.
01:33:24 One doesn't intend to let it get out of hand, and then it does.
01:36:55 So, I abandoned the gumboots and began to sidle up to the blond.
01:45:10 It is to you I owe the happiness, probably, of my life with Lytton.
