"THOMAS:" "Blimey!" "What happened to you?" "Leave her alone." "I fell." "I cut my lip." "Now, if either of you need help to carry things down just ask." "Alfred and James will be glad to help." " That's good to know." " What was that, James?" "Nothing, Mr Carson." " I'd better go up." " Lady Mary hasn't rung yet." "I've things to do." "How was Anna?" "When you lent her that dress last night?" "How should she be?" "She told me she'd fallen and cut her lip, but I wondered if it might be more serious than that." "She's always one to minimise things." "I'm sure I don't know anything you don't know." "(BELL RINGS)" "What's the matter with everyone this merry morn?" "I always think there's something rather foreign about high spirits at breakfast." "Now I shall be supervising the departure if anyone wants me." "Well, Mr Gillingham, I hope you haven't forgotten anything." "On the contrary, Mr Carson," "I shall remember this visit for a long time to come." "Goodbye, Lord Grantham." "And thank you very much for everything." "Oh, nonsense." "I'm the one who should be thanking you." "You look as if you're glad to see the back of us." "No." "You've been kind to me, but I'm afraid I haven't been much fun to be with." "Grief's odd, Tom, when the Duke died it made me terribly clumsy." "I kept dropping and breaking things, but it was because it felt disloyal to manage anything properly without him, do you see?" "But you could manage." "Yes, I could." " And so can you." " I wonder." "The trouble is that..." "I'm not really out and all that, but it should be possible." "I don't think people care about those rules, not like they used to." "Well, I don't." "The luggage is loaded, m'lord." "It's nice to see you're well looked after." "It seems rather ungrateful, but I can't pretend I really like him." "Then again, I'm lucky to have anyone nowadays." "You said it." "Oh, I'll just say goodbye to Tony Gillingham..." "Don't interrupt them, not yet." "(CHUCKLES)" "Are you sure we can't meet?"

"(KISSING) Not for me, nor for you either, Duchess." "Not these days." "You look very earnest." "I'm just on my way to convince the board of the merits of an out-clinic, so people can come early for treatment." "I don't suppose?" " Don't suppose what?" " I could do with some extra help." "I know you always suspect me of trying to get you back into harness." "But, er, well, it would leave a nurse free for other duties." "I'll think about it." "I will." "I promise." "The tax people have had a cancellation, so they can see us on Wednesday at noon, but I think we should go up tomorrow." "I wouldn't like to risk being late." "And you don't want me to come?" "There's no point in you all going." "It's not that you're afraid I might put the case for selling?" "It's not a question of putting the case." "They don't care how they get their money, so long as they get it." "I'll ask how long they can give us, and what scale of payment they'll accept." "Then I'll report back." "And we'll make a decision together." "But I will try to persuade you." "Even though you'd be dragging a debt behind you for twenty years?" "I don't care." "Not if Downton is self-sufficient by the end of it." "(SIGHS)" "I can see I'll spend the rest of my life paying by installments." "Papa, you are always saying that we're not the owners of Downton but the caretakers." "Very well." "Let's take care of it." "Aunt Rosamund said we can stay with her." "You don't mind keeping an eye on the children, do you, Mama?" "Is this London?" "When are you going?" "Can I come?" "Tomorrow, and I don't see why not." "Nor me." "Will you meet Tony Gillingham while you're there?" "I don't think so." "Why should I?" "I just thought you might." "Don't be transparent, Mama." "It doesn't suit you." "I thought you might come down to see me." "After last night." "Look, Edna, I blush to admit it, but I was very drunk." " So you're not going to deny it?" " Of course not." "And if I behaved badly, I am sorry." "You'll just have to put it down to our low spirits and self-indulgence." "I suppose you're so cold because you're ashamed of what you did." "I'm neither cold nor ashamed." "But, as I say, if I made a mistake, then I'm sorry." "I dare say we both are." "What are you making there?" "Feuilletes." "What's that when it's at home?" "Puff pastry layers with asparagus." "And I'm doing the Hollandaise." "Do they really like that stuff, or do they order it just to show off?" "We don't all have to live off battered fish and meat pies." "It's the first thing Mrs Patmore's trusted me with." "First big thing." " I'm quite nervous." " So you should be." "Mess it up, and it's back to kindergarten." "(DOOR UNLOCKS)" "What are you doing?" "You can't treat a poor girl like this." "Like what?" "To use her one minute and to cast her aside the next." " I've said I'm sorry..." " Yes you're sorry." "I know." "But suppose I'm pregnant." "What will you do then?" "Don't be ridiculous." "You can't be pregnant." "It's not as easy as that." "But it is." "Just as easy." "What's the point of talking about it now?" "You won't know for weeks." "Because I must be sure that you'll marry me if I'm carrying your child." "I need to know that you won't cast me off, that you'll be a man of honour if it comes to it." "And don't say I'm not good enough." "If you were good enough for Lady Sybil Crawley then I'm good enough for you." "Don't speak her name." "You weren't so severe last night." "All I need is your word that you'll marry me if there's a baby." "Don't worry." "If it happens, I mean to make a go of being your wife." "I won't hold you back." "You won't have any regrets." "I am already full of regrets." "There is nothing but regret in me." " COUNTESS:" "Did you enjoy the concert?" " ISOBEL:" "I did." "It was a great treat to hear Melba in person." "Hmm." "And the evening generally?" "You mean did I find it hard to see Mary come alive again?" "Yes, I did." "I confess it." "But I don't think my feelings are at all defensible." "They are defensible to me." "But it's immoral." "To react in such a jealous and selfish way." "(SCOFFS) Well, if we only had moral thoughts, what would the poor churchmen find to do?" "I'm fond of Mary." "I love her." "I don't want her to be alone and unhappy." "It makes no sense, even to me." "I don't criticise either you or her." "But I hope you find a way to make friends with the world again." "When we get to London, would you mind helping Lady Rose?" "We can't take Madge off Lady Edith." "Anna, are you all right?" "Yes." "Only you've been very quiet." "Will that be all, m'lady?" "Yes, I suppose so." "Very good, m'lady." "I telephoned Rosamund." "I thought Mary was doing that." "Yes, but I wanted to speak to her." "Mmm." "That's a first." " She'll give a little dinner." " What about Tom?" "She said she won't mind if he wants to be included." "(SCOFFS) Who could resist such a love call?" "She'll ask that young man for Rose, so it won't be too obvious." "It'll be pretty obvious." "Do you think something might come of it?" "CORA:" "Probably not but I wouldn't mind if it did." "After all, being a family means welcoming new members." "Don't you agree, Braithwaite?" "I think anyone would be lucky to be a part of this family, m'lady." "That's nice." "Thank you." "ROBERT:" "Aren't we encouraging a nation of hypochondriacs?" "If they're to rush to a doctor at every twinge." "On the contrary, I think it encourages people to look after themselves and not become a burden." "Hmm, so you mean to help?" "A little." "Just to provide some free labour." "No more than that." "I wish someone would provide me with some free labour." "Oh?" "Lloyd George would never allow it." "Rosamund is so looking forward to seeing you." "Poor Aunt Rosamund." "We use her like an hotel." "She enjoys it." "It gives her a surrogate real life." "What do you think, Tom?" "Do you think she minds?" "Tom?" "I'm sorry." "What were you saying?" "I'd far rather know what you were thinking." "(CHUCKLES)" "Let me taste it." "Go on, then." " It's like eating paper." " Thank you." "I mean it." "Do you really care about this stuff?" "I want to be a good cook." "I want a skill." "Why shouldn't I?" "You sound like Alfred." "Well, what do you want?" "To have a good time." "To see the world." "To meet beautiful women and spend money and drink Champagne." "You can't make a career out of that." "Some people do." "I want a life that's fun." "I wish I was more like you." "I should report you to Mrs Patmore." "Report me for what?" " You know." " No he does not know and nor do I." "What don't you know?" "Why everyone's making such a fuss over my cooking." "Because you did well, Ivy." "They're not very hard." "They're hard enough for a beginner, as you ought to remember." "Yes, but Ivy moves so fast for a beginner, don't she?" "It's just one night." "We'll be back for dinner on Wednesday." " I'll miss you..." " Don't!" "I'm sorry." "I'm just tired." "(CLEARS THROAT)" "And before you ask, you've done nothing wrong." "I must have done something wrong." "You won't talk to me, you won't look at me, I can't come near you." "We're in each other's pockets." "We live together, we work together." "Sometimes I think it's just too much." "There's not a lot to say." "We worked in a few theatres together." "She had a singing act with her sister." "The Lark and the Dove they were called." "Which was she?" "The dove, I suppose." "Her sister had the voice but Alice was a gentle soul, a sweet and a gentle soul." "And you were courting?" "Well, you know how it was then." "Not like today." "You were lucky if you got to walk them to the corner." "But you wanted to marry her." "So much I could taste it." "I know." "Where is that young man now so full of passion?" "Anyway, she chose Charlie and that was that." "But what's changed?" "He told me that she regretted it." "That she wished she'd chosen me." "She's dead now and so it doesn't matter, but that's what she said." "I disagree." "It matters a lot." "The woman you loved, loved you." "But it doesn't change anything." "It changes you from where I'm looking." " (KNOCKAT DOOR) - (DOOR OPENS)" "You're busy." "No, no, no." "I'll say goodnight." "Goodnight, Mr Carson." "What is it?"

"But whatever happened was not Mr Bates' fault, surely?" "Of course not." "He is without fault and that's the point." "I'm not good enough for him." "Not now." "Why say that?" "Because I think that somehow, I..." "I must have made it happen." "Stuff and nonsense!" "You were attacked by an evil, violent man." " There is no sin in that." " But I feel dirty." "I can't let him touch me because I'm soiled." "Anna, I've been thinking." "We must go to the police." "No!" "(SIGHS) But suppose you're with child." "What will you do then?" "(SNIFFLES) I'll kill myself." "I won't listen to that." "No man should be able to do what he did and get away with it." "And when Mr Bates has killed him, will you come with me to the prison when my husband is hanged?" "But the poor man's heart is breaking for not knowing." "Better a broken heart than a broken neck." "So can I have a room, please?" "You can." "You must wait until there's some reason for you to give Mr Bates, but I wish you would decide that honesty is the best policy." "In the meanwhile, try to take a break from it, while you're in London." "(SNIFFLES)" "There can be no break from it." "Come and talk to me while I'm cleaning them." " I've got work to do." " Five minutes." "(DOOR OPENS)" "(DOOR CLOSES)" "Ivy can make the savoury for tonight." "There's only three of them, it'll be good practise." "What about me?" "Er, collect the trays from the nursery and make the pancakes for the pudding." "Put them in the steam warmer." " Have you seen this?" " What?" "They're setting up a training school at the Ritz Hotel in London, in honour of Monsieur Escoffier." "Just for a few candidates." " And how much will it cost?" " Nothing." "If they pass the test they'll get free training with a basic wage and the chance of a job after." "They'll have two examinations a year." "You could do that, Daisy."

"Cora said it had been a success." "I think it's so clever of you both to be free at such short notice." "They brought your message to my club." "I thought I had an evening of cards and whisky ahead, so it was a very welcome change of plan." "And what about you?" "Well, I cancelled what I was supposed to be doing." "I hope Miss Lane Fox didn't mind." "Don't punish me for wanting to see you again." "John's got a marvellous idea for later on, haven't you?" "After dinner I thought I could take you all to hear the new band at the Lotus Club." "If you'll let me?" "You and Mary can be my chaperones, so what could be more proper?" "It isn't too jazzie, Lady Rosamund." "Just a club with a good dance band." "We can keep the young in order." "That's if you like the sound of it?" "Please say yes, Mary, do." "It's such eons since we've had any fun." "What about you, Tom?" "I'll stay here with Lady Rosamund." "Oh." "I was thinking I might go, too." "That settles it."

"Can I see you again before you go?" "How?" "The meeting's at noon and then we go straight to the station." "Oh." "And anyway, you've told me you're engaged to be married." "Almost engaged." "Almost is good enough for me." "And even if you weren't the truth is..." "I'm not ready and I won't be for some years." "I don't believe that." "Don't misunderstand me." "It's been lovely, here and at Downton." "I feel quite refreshed, but now it's time to go back to real life again." "And that doesn't include me." "How could it?"

"Although it'll be hard, it'll be better if you part friends." "I promise." "One moment of nastiness, and I'II be paying for the rest of my days." "Maybe it's good if he goes."

"Not all but it is partly your fault." "There's no point in denying that." "And you expect me to help you with it?" "I couldn't think of anyone else to turn to." "Not the most flattering invitation I've ever known." "The question is, what's to be done?" "Should I speak to her again?" "Should I beg?" "We've not quite come to that." "It is you." "When Anna told me, I thought there must be a mistake." "How did you get here?" "On the same train as you." "But I was travelling in Third." "Why?" "Because I didn't want to speak to you in a railway carriage, with, you know, Tom and everyone else listening." " Would you like some tea?" " Yes if I may." "I assume you're going to give me an explanation at some stage?" "It's not complicated." "I have made a long journey to ask a short question." "Will you marry me?" " Tony, you don't know me."

"It reminds me of Lady Warwick having the stable bell at Easton rung at 6:00, so everyone had to time to get back to the right beds before their maids and valets arrived." "Isn't that apocryphal?" "No, actually." "Papa and Mama stayed there once and they said it was quite true." "Of course they already were in the right bed." " I don't know why I said all that." " I hope I do." "Don't be silly." " Will you miss me?" " Of course." " Is it really only a week until you leave?" " Hmm." "You haven't told me if there's anything I can do to keep things running whilst you're in Munich." "Well, as a matter of fact I've got something I want you to sign."

"I've always fancied myself a novelist, I've never had the time." "Now I've got nothing but." "How long is it going to take?" "I'm not sure." "I'll set the wheels in motion as soon as I arrive and we'll stop when and if we hit a rock." "But the lawyers are quite optimistic." "I thought lawyers were never optimistic." " That's why it's a good sign." " (CHUCKLES)" "Are we going out tonight?" "Rose was talking about the new band at the Lotus Club." "Hmm, well, no, I hadn't planned on going anywhere." "No?" "No." " Michael, I..." " Oh, my darling." "So I can move back in?" "Edna's room will be empty now and if I'm to dress her ladyship and Lady Mary, I think it makes sense." "If that's what you really want." "I'm sorry it didn't work out with Miss Braithwaite." "Not that I care much for her," "I'm sorry about the disruption for her ladyship." "Well, one of these days I'll tell you the whole story." "Then you'll be less sorry." "But the truth is we were mad as hatters to let her back in the house." "Mmm." "I've got a present for you." "It's for your desk." "What made you think of that?" "It's good for you to be reminded you once had a heart, and it'll reassure the staff to know you belong to the human race." "This frame looks expensive." "She was pretty, though, wasn't she?" "She was very pretty and I'm sure she was very nice." "And now you can look at that and remember her." "You're right, Mrs Hughes." "I will." "The business of life is the acquisition of memories." "In the end that's all there is." "Thank you." "Bates, do you know anything about why Braithwaite left?" "I don't, m'lord." "They say she had some troubles at home." "I hope it's not too much for Anna." "Bates?" "She wants to move back into the house, m'lord." "She says she needs to if she is to perform her duties properly." "Is something wrong between you?" "Yes." "But I don't know what it is." "She says it's nothing I've done, but how can I believe that?" "It must be my fault because she is incapable of fault." "I don't know what to do." "There is no such thing as a marriage between two intelligent people that does not sometimes have to negotiate thin ice." "I know." "You must wait until things become clear." "And they will." "The damage cannot be irreparable when a man and a woman love each other as much as you do." "My goodness." "That was strong talk for an Englishman." "ANTHONY:" "I don't really want to go back to London," " but I suppose I have to." " Hmm." "That's after I get your answer, that is." "I was wondering how long it would take you to get to the point." "Are you ready?" "What happens if I refuse?" "We both know I must marry." "I don't need to explain to you how the system we're trapped in works." "Please don't rush into anything." "I won't make a fool of Mabel." "It wouldn't be fair." "I'd break up with her for you and I will credit her by saying that she would understand." "She sounds rather fine." "If you don't want me, then..." "I think I'm honour-bound to go through with it." "It's no good, Tony." "I can't." "I'm not free of him." "Yesterday, you said, I fill your brain, well, Matthew fills mine." "Still." "And I don't want to be without him." "Not yet." "(BIRDS CHIRPING)" "Can I ask one favour?" "And then I really will go, and leave you in peace." "What is it?" "Will you kiss me?" "Please." "I will never love again as I love you in this moment." "And I must have something to remember." "Good-bye, Mary, my darling Mary," "my prayers go with you for everything that you do." " May I have a word, your lordship?" " Mmm." "If Miss Braithwaite is not coming back," "I wondered if her replacement had been decided on." "Not yet." "Only I have a candidate I'd like to put forward, who I know very well and is more than qualified." "You must discuss it with her ladyship when she comes down, but I've no objection." "She's a little older than Miss Braithwaite." "Well, that won't hurt." "Why do you say that?" "No reason." "Where's Tony?" "Has he gone?" "He thought he'd said all his goodbyes and he wanted to catch the half past 9:00." " Are you ready?" " ROBERT:" "Where are you going?" "York." "For estimates to re-equip the saw mill." "So, will we be seeing Tony Gillingham again?" "I'm sure we will." "Eventually." "He was telling me about Mabel Lane Fox." "Apparently, they're getting engaged." "I imagine he'll be very taken up with that." "Yes, I dare say." "Right." "I'll get my hat." "ROSAMUND:" "There you are." "Well, you don't look too bad." "I thought you might be a little the worse for wear." "Why should I be?" "After only two hours' sleep?" "My maid saw you come in." "Aren't you going to tell me what kept you out until 6:00 in the morning?" "Well, we... (CHUCKLES)" "Please don't say you were talking and you lost all track of time." "Quite apart from the morality... or lack of it in this situation." "You do realise you are taking a great risk?" "You're trusting this man with your name and your reputation." "He wants to marry me." "Of course I trust him." "As you trusted Anthony Strallan?" "That was rather unkind." "Are you going to tell Mama?" "No." "You're a grown woman and I'm not a spy." "But you're gambling with your future, my dear." "Be under no illusions." "A lot may be changing, but some things will stay the same." "I'm not a bit sorry." "No, you don't look sorry." "But you may find yourself feeling very sorry later." "(DOOR CLOSES)" "You seem more cheerful than you were in London." "I am." "I took your advice." "I talked it over and I'm off the hook." "So whatever it was, it's gone away?" "I think so." "I envy you." "Why?" "Because I've just done something which I have a sneaking fear I may regret." "For a long time to come."
