"Mr.Hoylake will see you right away." "Come in." "We didn't expect you till Monday." "Sit down." "We are not accustomed to such an excess of zeal." "But it's not exactly that Mr.Hoylake." "I'm not surprised that you wanted to leave Dufton as soon as possible." "You'll find big differences here, you know." "Not only work," "You'll meet a different class of people." "We pride ourselves on being civilized here in Warnley." "Dufton is not much of a place but ... we're not exactly savages there you know Mr.Hoylake." "You think not?" "..." "Well, what did you come to see me about?" "Well, I thought perhaps... you see I have to get fixed up in digs ..." "You shouldn't have any difficulty." " Soames," " Yes, sir" " You might come in." " Right, Mr. Hoylake." "You'll be working with Mr. Soames, Internal audit." "He's got dig somewhere near Top." "Top's the fashionable district." "He's very comfortable, I beleive." "Come in." "Charles Soames, Joe Lampton." "Lampton is the new man." " How do you do?" " How do you do?" "He hasn't got anywhere to live." "Can you help him?" " I think so." " I'll leave it to you then." "We'll have a longer session later on." "I'll keep an hour on Monday morning for you." "This is it." "And that's your desk." "Well, he didn't keep you long in the firing line." "Joe this is Mrs. Samson, better known as June." "This is Joe Lampton, greatest addition to Treasuries Department chain gang." "I think I'm going to enjoy my sentence." "I don't mind you enjoying, but you don't have to smack your lips so vigorously." "Hot tip Charles, dog in 2nd race tonight, interested?" "No, but hold on a minute." "Meet new boy Joe Lampton, Teddy Merrick." "God may help you." "I got to run." " Well Charles how about those reports ?" " Well...those Stampton reports now where did I put them?" "Somewhere in ..."

" Where did you get that proprietorial plural?" "I meant the Teasuries Department." "No, she's h. typist." "We have our own talent." "Now digs, Mabel would you get me an outside line." "No dear, it's not a personal call." "Look Mabel I don't wanna argue with you, just get me an outside line or I will put a tuppence in your moral little slot next time I'm passing." "Constipated bitch, she think's she had shares in corporation." "Warnley 4-3-1-5" "It's not for you lad." "But I can look, can't I ?" "I guess there is no law against looking at women on street." "Hello, is that you Mrs.Thompson?" "Charles Soames here." "I was wondering if I might bring Mr.Lampton to see you?" "Yeah, we'll be at the house long before that, thank you Mrs. Thompson." "That is as good as fixed and one of the best digs in Warnley too." "Is that what you really want ?" "A clerk's dream; a girl with a Riviera tan and a Lagonda?" "That's what I'm going to have." "Ha,ha..." "Come on, let's go." "Nobody ever goes to Dufton, they just pass trough it." "A sunday treat of fish and chips, wrapped in a greasy "News Of The World"." "And chaps like me; prospect appetizing is yesterday's fish paste sandwich." "You know, I was a POW at least there was a limit to the time that you serve, but Dufton it seemed like a lifetime sentence." "You shouldn't be so nostalgic on your first day away of your own place, you know." "I was looking at your river, kids fishing and swimming in it." "in Dufton canal's like a sewer." "kids never had the chance to fish or swim." "And the people ... well I suppose they never had the chance either." "I assume here well... it's so different." "You wouldn't believe it Charles." "But you made Warnley sound so special Joe, so very special ." "It is special." "It's not Dufton." "Not everybody admires the view from here." "Look Joe, there's the Top, that's where the money is." "that'a a lovely houses up there you know Joe." "I'll have one of those." "I'm going to have the lot." "Ha, ha!" "No you're not!" "Not in local goverment you're not." "Did you ever work it out brother?" "In 20 years time, you could be sitting in Hoylake's chair, and that is as high as you can go." "and that means; a 1000 £ a year, a semi-detached downtown, a 2nd hand Austin, and a wife to match if you know what I mean." "I know damn well what you mean." "That's why I'm going to have the lot." "Oh, no no.." "Oh, by the way what you do for entertainment around here?" "Well, there's flicks of course." "Teddy Merrick and I play snooker on Friday nights." "Do you play?" "Badly." "Oh, and then we have our amateur dramatic society "The Thespians", are you interested in theater?" "Yes." "Look, it's only 2 weeks away." "And Charly Soames here as being a part among "The Thespians" can probably still get you tickets for opening night." "(PLAY) And then he went back to bed." "(PLAY) Yes." "(PLAY) To his own bed?" "(PLAY) What's wrong with you?" "(PLAY) Did you really think I would know the minute I saw you two together." "(PLAY) There's nothing to know." "(PLAY) I have no idea what you're talking about." "(PLAY) You're all upset." "Who is she?" "You should have seen her in the "Playground"." "Sex, terrific." "Alice Aisgill." "She's French." "That's her husband, lucky devil sitting at the end of the front row." "(PLAY) Then I refuse to go to the court room." "(PLAY) You can't do that to him." "But she's not married, she couldn't be?" "You mean Susan." "Oh, Susan Brown." "Yeah." "She's the daughter of old millionaire Brown." "He owns most of Warnley." "Have a chew too." "Thanks." "Joe don't waste your time." "Susan is out of your reach, she's way up in the top drawer." "She speaks as if she has a couple of hot potatos in her mouth as if finishing school isn't quite finished with her." "Hello Teddy, didn't you think she was superb?" "I don't know what you're talking about but I thought she was super, didn't you Joe?" "Oh, this is Joe Lampton." "Didn't you think she was a absolutely super Joe?" "Oh, absolutely super." "I thought they were all absolutely super." "Well my children, what was it like out front?" "And where's June?" "Oh, there she's talking to Bernard a foolish virgin." "What dou you think out there Joe?" "Well that wasn't bad." "Oh, dabbing, dabbing us with that phrase." "Come meet some of the company." "I want you to meet Alice Aisgill our leading lady." "Alice, this is Joe Lampton." " How do you do?" " How do you do?" "You're new here, aren't you?" "Yes, I've only been here for a couple of weeks." "He's in our department." "It's Susan Joe wants to meet." "He has a thing for Susan." "Hey Bernard, come meet Bernard." "Our producer." "Bernard, this is Joe Lampton." "Hello June." " How do you do?" " How do you do?" "What do you think of Charles' door effect June?" "It was like thunder." "That's the trouble with these literal minds." "The play writes instructions said crack of door." "That's exactly what we got." "(PEOPLE SPEAKING IN BACKGROUND)" "Come on Joe." "Hello Charles." "Hello." "Was I terrible?" "You were very good as a matter of fact." "I want you to meet a friend of mine." "Joe Lampton, Susan Brown." "He liked the show very much." " How do you do?" " How do you do?" "Where's Jack?" "Ohh, he went to fetch his car." "Oh, Charles you know that scene, the love scene" "I tried to remember what Bernard said." "Do you think I do any better?" "You were fine." "Hey Jenny you don't need to take that home yet, you know we will need it again tomorrow night." "Why don't you leave it for Tilly?" "If I'd only known..." "You'd known what?" "If I'd only known you'd be so beautiful I would have brought you some flowers." "There you are Jack." "Here I am." "You comin' for a drink, darling?" "Oh, we haven't been properly introduced, haven't we?" "I'm Eva, Eva Kent and you are Joe, aren't you?" "We're going after the clearance, are you coming?" "Oh, I'd love to but Jack and I have to go home for dinner." "Oh, what a pitty." " Cyril !" " Joe this is Cyril." "This is Cyril, he is my husband, beleive it or not." "Cyril this is Joe." " Hello." " Hello again." "Teddy was telling me about you, Teddy Merrick." "I hope you gonna like it here." "I know I am." "You don't beat about the bush." "Don't you?" "I would look out if I were you Jack, I think you'll find you have a rival, for Susan's lovely hand." "Ha,ha.." "Joe this is Jack Wales." "Jack this is Joe sthg. from the terasuries." "Lampton, Joe Lampton." "You and Joe have a lot in common both being entrapped birdmen." "Oh, that." "What outfit?" "Wellington's." "Hmm, sergeant observer ha?" "Yes, how did you know?" "Oh, I can tell." "Did you ever get beyond Wellington's?" "No, as a matter of fact I was shut down early, spent most of the war in a prison camp." "Oh, is that so?" "Must have been rough." "Well ... as a matter of fact..." "Ha,ha come on Sue... 22:40 precisely." "Operation Supper would begin." "Ha, ha what a stinker, don't know how you all stand it." "Come on Sue." "Do come and have a drink with us first." "Well we'd love to but you know Papa Brown, he likes you on the dot." "Some other time." "Good night all." "Good night sergeant." "You must tell me about your POW experiences but some other time." "I'll remember the flowers next time." "Good night." "Sirrrr !" "Freaking Officer." "Jack Wales was a POW too." "He escaped." "Are you ready darling?" "(ENGINE STARTS)" "(BUS ENGINE ROARS)" "(MUSIC PLAYING)" "Hello, Sergeant." "Shoping for lingerie?" "What size are you?" "44?" "Listen, do me a favour, will you?" "I know all about you now." "I know you were a squadron leader with a distinguished war record, the DSO and all the rest of it." "But just do me a favour the war is over, stop calling me sergant!" "I'll try to remember." "But sergant you're selling me short, didn't anyone told you about my DFC?" "Ha, ha, ha !" "(ORDERS GIVEN IN DOG RACE)" "And he just stood there." "Watching this one, gloating over it like a bloody watch dog." "All phony acts and putting on a squadron's leader act with me." "Even threw the DFC at me." "If we've done what ever it was he did we would have only got a DFM." "Just medals, no crosses for us." "Different brands of courage, don't you know." "Oh, there's Charlie S., I'll see what he's on." "Here, isn't that Susan's father's works?" "Joe you're wasting your time." "These two familes, "The Browns" and "The Wales"s they are worth more brass then the rest of Warnley rolls together." "Heyy, what you think about that one?" "Hmm, not bad...but not grade one." "What you mean by that?" "Time I filled you in on the Lampton report on love." "I 've got a full proof method for grading women." "Partly money, partly background and partly J. Lampton's instinct." "Now take Susan Brown." "Are you offering her to me." "No, seriously Susan is grade one on every account." "You just have to look at her to know." "Susan is not for you lad." "It just so happens that I like her." "You lust after her, you mean." "No, no, no." "It's not that at all." "Well, it's partly that but not just that." "She's so wholesome." "And you think you'd find her wholesome if her old man didn't have a million in the bank." "There are plenty of other wholesome girls in Warnley, you know." "Like who?" "Like June?" "Yes, like June." "Say you got you some kind of understanding with her?" "Me lord Nooo!" "June's a good kid but she's got an invalid mother." "And they live of June's salary, the pair of them." "So whom ever marries June marries her invalid mother too." "What you and me should be looking for is a nice girl with no ties and a nice family business in background, shopping." "Joe, 2, track 2." "We got 4 to 1." "What are you on?" "Grade one." "I put my 2 bob on grade one everytime." "In number 2 to win please." "How about that baby?" "That one, she's grade 10." "Grade 9 and over means boredom on Saturday nights, you wanna keep miles away from them." "All on 4 to win, please." "Now grade ones like my girl they'll be really something special in bed, you see that they have almost nothing else to do." "1 to win please." "Come on Joe, there's the bell." "That Brown he must ... , you know." "All those chimneys, that's money." "Beautiful, beautiful brass." "Belching out every minute of the day and night." "Come on." "You know Charles, I've been thinking about that dramatic club." "You remember you said you need man, a fresh blood and all that." "Did you mean it?" "I certainly did." "Well I don't know if I'm really good, mind but I'd like to try." "Oh, I get it." "You're not interested in dramatics it's Susan." "Ohh, I know. "You're wasting your time Joe." But do you wanna bet on it?" "Did I here somebody say bet ?" "I bet you'd never gonna get a length of a date with her." "A Dollar on it then." "Right then." "Cut it." "(BACKGROUND TALKING)" "Hello Susan." "Hello." "You know I never seemed to get a chance to speak to you." "I only joined the club because of you now I hear that you're not even in the new play." "Somebody else has to have a chance, it's only fair." "Gwen is awfully good, she will do it very well." "Quiet, please." "Damn..." "What are you doing after rehearsal." "We've got a party at home tonight." "Jack's gonna collect me." "He should be here any minute." "I thought he was back at Cambridge." "He came for the weekend." "Come on Joe." "We're wasting time." "Take your coats off." "Come on Joe, speed it up." "On top of the sofa there." "Alice, love I want you to start at the scene where you defend your lover." "It's the top of page 12." "Now stand there." "Here we are. "I don't see why ..." and don't forget love, there's the audience." "Push it right out." "From when I say go, ready ?" "Right!" "I don't see why he didn't even know my late husband, I ensure you inspector he has got nothing to do with it." "He's something to do with you love, hasn't he?" "Really?" "Just what do you mean by that inspector?" "Oh, you are a friend of her's sir?" "You are, aren't you?" "I tell you, I didn't see anything." "It was pitch dark." "And the only sign of light was that old workman or nightwatchman sitting by his brassiere." "(PEOPLE LAUGHING)" "Brazier." "That's a wonderful thought." "Erotic vise among the working class." "Let me tell you, I am working class." "I didn't mean..." "Working class and proud of it!" "You're nothing of the sort, you're a stock broker and Alice is the lover and the suspected of murder in the play." "Now shut up the lot of you." "Now we'll start again." "When you come to the point when you say "What's the point?" I want you to make a turn, half turn towards the window." "(PEOPLE TALKING IN BACKGROUND)" "I didn't mean to snap at you." "Oh, forget it." "We'll you come and have a coffee with me?" "No, but you may buy me a drink." "Can you drive?" "Yes, oddly enough." "Cause I never owned a car but I learned to drive in the RAF." "Here, you're very touchy, aren't you?" "Where to?" "To the Saint Claire." "It's quiet." "(HE STARTS THE ENGINE)" "That's the Brown's place." "Yes, I know." "I walked passed it." "Hmm, seems like there's something going on tonight." "Susan told me that they were having a party." "What a place!" "It's like a castle." "Charles tells me that they've even got a swimming pool." "They've got just about everything, haven't they?" "I wouldn't say that." "If you really want to know I thought you would be coming the lady of the mansion over me that's all." "My father didn't know engineering works or a mill." "He never even owned his own house." "But that doesn't mean that I can't drive a car or pronounce brazier." "Who cares about these things?" "Some people do." "It's Susan, isn't it?" "That was bothering you." "It's Jack Wales, really." "That type they make me mad." "The boys with the big mouths and a silver spoon stuck in them." "But they think they can take everything worth having by sort of divine rights." "Calling me sergeant." "It is Susan, A. could we have the same again please ?" "Right away, Mrs. Aisgill." "You're jealous." "I suppose I am." "Very well, why don't you phone the girl and ask her to go out with you then?" "Why don't you?" "Hmm, you feel inferior to Jack Wales?" "No, I don't." "I've a feeling I know I'm right." "I know she doesn't want him." "I suppose you think I am conceded." "Young and terribly inexperienced but not conceded." "Well if that's the way you really feel about her, then you must be right." "Your trouble is you don't believe enough in yourself." "I'll tell you something Alice." "I like you, I don't mean sex, I mean "like you"." "I like to talk to you." "I just ..." "like you." "You look about 18 sometimes." "Do you know that?" "You remind me of a boy I used to know in university in Paris." "It must be funny being French here in Warnley." "No, it's not funny." "Are you very unhappy Alice?" "Not very..." "Come on... (MUSIC PLAYING)" "Susan, there's a telephone call for you." "Then who is it ?" "It's a gentleman." "I think he said Mr.Lampton." "What will I tell him?" "Oh, it's allright Marry." "I'll take it." "Very well Miss." "Susan." "Hello..." "Susan Brown." "Well hello Joe, I didn't know it was you." "Saturday evening?" "I'd love to but .. hold on a minute." "Hello Joe, I just looked up on my book, I've got another engagement on Saturday." "Yes I'd love to some other time." "Gosh!" "Here's mummy..." "Bye..." "Who's that telephoning, Susan?" "Joe Lampton." "I met him at "The Thespians"." "What did he want?" "He wanted to take me to cinema on Saturday." "But we don't know him, do we?" "Socially I mean." "Well I suppose so." "He works at the town hall" "Really?" "Ah, it's allright mummy, I told him I had a previous appoinment but only because I had." "He's very nice really." "What did you say his name was ?" "Lampton, Joe Lampton." "Curious names some of these people have." "Listen Alice..." "Tell me, but supposing you are a girl," "I mean a young girl." "And I asked you out, I mean would you hang up in a hurry just because your mother came into the room." "Look Joe, if I had a mother like Mrs. Brown, I would hang up in a great hurry whenever she came into the room." "Aren't you two coming?" "Where's Charles?" "He'll be over in a minute." "I still think she was trying t give me the brush off." "Well supposing she was." "Keep trying, call her again." "You really mean it?" "Ofcourse, why not?" "Oh, errr... well While I'm handing out advice," "Do you mind if I tell you about our last scene, the bedroom one..." "Oh, I know I..." "I made a mock of it." "You're not frightened of me, are you?" "No." "Well you must take hold of me as if you meant it." "I'm not fragile, you know I won't break." "I'll try Alice." "Is it so difficult?" "That we'll be another bitter gin  tonic... (PEOPLE TALKING AND LAUGHING LOUDLY)" "Hello Alice." "I'm just telling them about Gwen." "Bernard and I were talking to her after the rehearsal the other day and she said" "I'll take him on myself but I can't bare bandy legged man." "Ha, ha,ha !" "Good evening." "Bernard said you'd be here." "Hello, George." "This is a surprise." "It's not a social call." "I think you know everybody, don't you?" "Yes, I think so." "And ofcourse Joe Lampton, my lover in the play." "The war hero." "Well I'm always glad to meet one of Alice's lovers." "Look Alice, let me have the keys,will you?" "I've got to take the Citroen." "Why?" "My ignition's gone and I've got to get over to Leeds tonight." "So late?" "Something cropped up unexpectedly." "I'll be away couple of days." "(SNAPPING HIS FINGERS)" "But errr..." "What about the car for tomorrow." "What about it?" "You know I was going to take Elspeth to Manchester to the ballet." "You know I arranged it weeks ago." "Well you'll just have to make it some other time, won't you?" "Enjoy yourselves everybody." "Goodnight dear." "CAR DRIVES OFF)" "Well I thought you said you were going to be word perfect tonight." "Well I thought I would till I got on stage." "Well Bernard..." "You know what that means couple of days hard labor with his secretary." "Yeah..." "Does she..." "Shall I see you home?" "No." "Alice, I hate to see you hurt." "I'm not hurt." "You sure you don't want me to take you home?" "I'd like to." "I'd rather not." "Good night Joe." "Joe!" "Shhh!" "What are you doing here?" "I was just thinking about you." "You were?" "I was thinking about you when I passed town hall and the thought stuck on." "Like a hangover." "What were you thinking about me?" "Nothing exactly." "What are you doing here?" "I often come down here to do the library account." "You know Susan, you're looking very pretty." "Thank you kindly, sir." "You think this is any good?" "I wanted it, but there was a waiting list." "If you could wait for me for about 10 minutes, we can go and have some coffee together." "I can't, I'm meeting my mother for lunch." "Oh well... they tell me that there's a very good film on at the Regal." "The musical?" "Super!" "Have you seen it?" "No." "Would you like to go?" "Yes." "When?" "Oh." "You know Susan, you're not only pretty, you're beautiful." "Tonight then." "Oh, Tonight will do like no other night has ever done." "I'll pick you up at your house." "At 7 o'clock." "No, I'd rather meet you there." "7 o'clock at the Regal." "7 o'clock then ... at the Regal." "Charles!" "Lend me some money." "What for?" "Come on." "I'm late." "I'll explain to you later." "All right." "Hurry up!" "Thank you." "By the way do you remember that bet I made you the other day?" "Which one?" "At the dog races." "Do you remember?" "Yes." "Well you've lost, you owe me 15 Bob." "Oh, NO!" "Yessss!" "You know, you're the sort of girl I'd like to take out." "Why?" "Well, there's you're shape and you're size and then the sheen in your hair, sort of light in your eyes." "Oh but, the most important because I think you're a dear keeper." " A what?" " A dear keeper." "What a lovely word!" "What does it mean?" "My mother called me that everytime I asked her for something that cost more than she could afford." "I'd like to meet your mother, she sounds fun." "She's dead." "I'm sorry." "My mother and my father were both killed in an air raid." "I don't even know if it was an air raid." "The only bombs that ever do dropped in Dufton, probably by mistake," "Anyway they had to fall in our house." "Joe how awful for you?" "I'm terribly sorry." "It's allright." "It happened a long time ago." "Good evening." "Aren't you going to offer me a drink?" "Jack !" "I thought you were washing your hair tonight." "Waiter!" "You are not a hair dresser too, are you sergeant?" "No, I'm not a hair dresser and I'm not your bloody back ..." "A large Scotch for me please." "Don't let us keep you ..." "Not at all, it's a pleasure." "As a matter of fact, I wanted to have a chat with you for a long time, about your acting actually." "I think you have distinct comic possibilities." "Don't you agree Susan ?" "If you'll excuse me..." "If I live to be a hundred, Jack I never forgive you for this." "I thought you were gonna wash your hair tonight." "Well I don't know what you were thinking there but I would take that away for a start." "I want to build a new administration block not a ladies lavatory." "We make machine tools at Brown's, remember not silk stockings." "You should never let this young man get so far with it." "I only saw a sketch Mr. Brown." "It looked very handsome." "You come back tomorrow with some designs I can use or don't bother to come back at all!" "Either of you, go on - get out!" " Miss Bishop!" "Yes,sir!" "What happened to that London call?" "It's engaged sir!" "Well will you try the other number?" "I must get those shares on the market before they close." "Very good, sir." "Hello, what are you two doing here?" "Susan just told me she's going out tonight." "I want you to tell her not." "Ohh, why?" "One thing, the number of guests will upset my table, another it is that Joe Lampton again." "Can't you put him off for once Susan just to please your mother?" "No, I can't." "It isn't just tonight." "Mother doesn't like him, she doesn't think he's suitable." "Do you?" "I don't know about suitable but I like him." "He calls me a dear keeper." "A what?" "You'll explain to mother daddy, I'm sure you know." "Good bye..." "Don't be cross." "You know I love you both." "That doesn't get me anywhere with my dinner party." "Why didn't you stop her?" "Because stopping her seeing that man isn't the way to put an end to it." "Then what is?" "Don't you mind her getting mixed up with a small town nobody." "Small town nobody sometimes do well enough." "You saw that wrong once with one, mother." "I happened to be Susan's mother, not yours." "Now listen, would you stop bothering your head about Joe Lampton." "And just leave it to me." "Get me the town hall." "I have a minute to do, I thought we might have a little chat." "You picked up the work very quickly." "6 months now, aint it?" "Not quite." "You're a bright lad Lampton." "And you've also lover's sense." "Sense enough I'm sure and not to resent what I'm gonna say to you." "This is a small town, Lampton." "I've lived in it all my life." "I know the people, I know the business." "Councillor Brown for instance." "I went to school with him." "You know ofcourse he's the chairman of the establishment commity." "Yes but I don't quite see..." "He is a powerful man Lampton." "That engineering works of his, built it up from nothing." "Now it is the biggset of it's kind in Warnley." "Ruthless, well I suppose you've got to be ruthless in business." "He knows what he wants and he gets it." "He can drive a coach and (...) trough that commity anytime he wants." "Every councill is the same there is always one strong man, a danger man, towns officials are concerned." "Mind you, no matter how influentual any councillor may be (...) but when it comes to promotion there is the rump." "That's a different matter." "You follow me Joe ?" "I follow you." "I thought you would." "Do you mind if I give you a word of advice Joe?" "It's this; find a girl, a girl of your own..." "Class!" "Is that what you mean Mr. Hoylake?" "A girl of my own class?" "Well let's say background." "Plenty of nice girls in Warnley, pretty ones too." "You'll find the right kind of girl Joe." "You go a long way here in Warnley." "You wouldn't believe this!" "The hell does he think he is sitting there like a phony putting the finger on me." "Oh, I got the works, the chairman of the establishment commity and the rest." "As neat a job of blackmail as you ever saw." "You follow me Joe?" "Yes, he even called me Joe." "If you don't leave Susan alone there will be no promoiton for you." "I told you months ago Joe, I warned you." "She's not for you !" "I tell you, after another couple of minutes longer, I would have taken his promotion out of his mouth and shove it up his...waist coat." "Fares please..." "Two to Warnley Theatre please." "What's the matter?" "Nothing." "Just mood." "I have bad mood sometimes." "Don't you?" "Damnable moods." "Take today for instance." "Here." "You need a drink." "No." "You want me to drive you home?" "No, I'd like to go to Sparrow Hill." "It's cold up there." "But that's what I want." "Somewhere cold and clean." "With no people, no dirty people." "Something going on there." "Well you know Alice."

"She can't if she has any pride." "Why did you go away without letting me know?" "I had to, they sent me away." "Don't you believe me?" "Oh, I believe you." "But that's why I didn't write." "Because I knew how hopeless it was." "Why?" "You know it's hopeless Susan." "Tell me Joe, please." "Well you saw them there, when I met your parents, the way they were needling me and you couldn't do anything about it." "I wanted to, really I did."

"That's not a very kind thing to say..." "I sometimes don't feel very kind." " Why?" " Your mother and father, were they kind to me the other night?" "I can just see your mother now." "Saying "You mustn't see that vulgar Lampton boy again or whatever his name is, the one with the bulging shirt and the chromium cufflinks."" "And then there is you..."

"Alice told me she wants to divorce me." "Well I'm not agreeable." "You haven't any choice." "She's my wife and she's going to remain my wife." "I want to make it quite clear to you." "She has no grounds for divorce." "Everybody knows the way you treat her, that's about you and your women." "But nobody can prove anything." "The difference between you and me is that I haven't been indiscreet enough to leave evidence lying around." "Meaning what?" "Just this;" "If she brings an action of divorce I'll fight it." "I'll smear you both across the headlines." "It will make fine reading, Elspeth's flat, the naked bathing in Dorset and all the rest of it." "How did you know?" "I make it my business to know."

"You got everything pretty well worked out, haven't you?" "I have, there are no loop holes, get it clear from now on you'll leave Alice alone." "Understand me?" "Why won't you let her go?" "Why?" "Because she's my wife." "That's why." "You trying to tell me you still love her?" "I'm not trying to tell you anything." "I've let you off lightly." "There will be no more warnings." "Say that again." "I said, June and I decided to go steady and I wanted you to be the first one to know." "That's just wonderful." "Oh, Joe show some enthusiasm." "Well I seem to remember you wanted a girl with no responsibilities and a small family business in the background." "Well that don't seem to matter much anymore." "Oh, what about the invalid mother?" "Oh, I get it." "She's died and left you a large insurance policy." "Hah, Joe..." "No seriously, what about her invalid mother?" "Well don't seem to matter much either." "(PHONE RINGING)" "June is a fine kid, you couldn't have done better Charles." "As a matter of fact, I'm thinking about settling down myself." "That might be June." "I'll be right with you Joe."

"Ohh, no Joe, come on quick, he's waiting." "Oh, let him wait." "Joe, what's got into you lately?" "I had enough threats for one day." "Come on!" "Allright, I'm coming." "Yes?" "Are you sure it's me, you want to speak to Mr. Brown?" "Oh, yes." "What did he want?" "He wants me to have lunch with him at the conservative club at 1 o'clock." "Sit down." "You're late." "We'll have the game soup." "First time you've been in this club, is it?" "This or any other Conservative Club." "My father would turn in his grave if he could see me now." "Who would mind?" "But we are not bound by our fathers." "I've got a proposition for you." "You're a clever young man, you don't want to stay in the Town Hall for the rest of your life, do you?" "Now is the time that accountants can do well for themselves." "Now, I'm willing to set you up in business." "Buy you a partnership." "Well, what do you say?" "There's a catch somewhere." "Not a catch but a condition." "I'll set you up on condition that you never see Susan again or communicate with her." "Now just what's so funny about that young man?" "Nothing I could explain." "If you agree I'll make you a rich man." "You'll be a damn sight better of than you'll ever be in local goverment." "Well, what do you say?" "Are you trying to buy me off?" "That's right." "I'm buying you off and I'm paying a damn fine price for it." "Come on now, use your head." "You want to improve yourself, you want to get in among the money." "Allright, I don't blame you for that." "But you're not getting my brass through Susan." "You wouldn't talk to me like that I if I were Jack Wales and had a rich daddy behind me." "I don't give a damn for Jack Wales." "A nice business merger between the two families." "I don't barter my daughter." "You tried to barter her now." "That's enough!" "I told you my offer, it's the best chance you'll ever have." "Now take it or leave it but get this into your head, if you refuse it" "I'm going to break you." "And what's more, I shall run you out of Warnley!" "Everybody wants to run me out of Warnley." "Let's say you kick me out and I take Susan with me." "She's in love with me you know." "Susan's too young to know her own mind, she'll do as I tell her."

"She's so old!" "Just an old whore like her, that's what you mean, isn't it?" "Well, it's all over now." "So just forget about it." "How do I know that?" "Because I'm telling you." "Listen Joe, if you so much as look at her again we are through." "I don't care about the baby or anything, I mean it!" "I won't be second best!" "Promise me, you never ever gonna see her again!"

"Finally, you've got everything you wanted, haven't you?" "There's something you would never understand Joe, these people are the top." "They are the same as anybody else." "but you had it inside of you, to be so much bigger than anyone of them." "You just had to be yourself, that was all." "With me you were yourself, only with me." "Try to understand what you have done." "Look Alice, I'm going to marry Susan." "Allright, maybe I do love you, but I'm going to marry her." "Now please don't make it any more difficult for us both." "Oh, to hell with you!" "You think our love is just like a layer of dirt, that I can wash it off?" "I believed in our love." "What else have I got?" "It's all I had to believe in." "You ask me not to make it difficult." "But I'm not like you, aunt in Dufton, why should I make it difficult for you?" "Because it won't do you any good, that's why." "I'm going to marry Susan." "Don't say it again." "Please don't say it again." "I think we need a little drink." "Look Alice, I wish you face facts." "I never loved anyone else." "But there's just, isn't any future for us together." "That was a pretty speech." "I suppose you worked that out before you came, didn't you?"
