"It's a horse for a mansion, not a farmer's horse." "Well, you didn't marry a farmer." "You married me, and I'm doing my best." "They're all dead." "Every single one." "There must be something, that we can do." "We planted too late." "If there is to be no wine, I want my money back." "I just wanted to thank you, for coming to Reggie's funeral."

"In a marriage of convenience, it's easy to say." "Not always easy to live." "I hope you're very certain, that she doesn't expect you to love her." "You do well to think of your wife, as an obsessive 15-year old girl." "Mr. Bligh, please." "And when slighted, a 15-year old girl can be very unstable." "Hey, hey, hey, hey !" "I'm fine." "Give it here." "Which way?" "Where do you want it?" "Put it on the bed, thanks." "Just looking for Rene's prayer cloth and yamuka." "He should wear them." "He was always packing things away, in case we had to run." "I wasn't thinking, bringing him back here." "Now, why's that, Missy?" "The least I can do for his family and for him, is a proper burial." "Well, tell people what to do, and I'll help." "A Jewish man should be sitting with him now and into the night, until the rabbi comes." "Right." "I should have stayed near the synagogue." "I don't even know, if the rabbi can be here tomorrow." "Well, will I do, to sit with Rene?" "I'm not much fun with prayers, but he was a mate." "Thank you." "Ah, here we are."

"The Jewish bloke from Brungston turned up took over from me and he's staying until the rabbi gets here." "Did the rabbi telephone?" "Yes, he did." "Depending on the road, he should be here in time for a midday service on the property." "Yah, Missy, if you want people to come back here afterward..." "I need to go to the hospital." "I have to call the rabbi." "He said he was leaving right away, and that was a good half hour ago." "There's supposed to be a minyan, prayers said in the home." "Yes, I have been reading about your funeral practices, in the encyclopedia." "I need him to find ten men." "Well, ten men, no worry." "Ten Jewish men Roy, to say Jewish prayers."

"It really is a tragedy, for all concerned." "Indeed." "I should get going." "This is such a pleasant surprise." "Please make yourselves at home." "Aah !" "I'm afraid, I have some sad news." "Jack just called by, to let us know that" "Dr. Nordmann has passed away." "Oh my God !" "And the burial is at midday, here in Inverness." "Well, that's very sudden." "It's very Jewish." "We'll all attend of course, and Jack mentioned a gathering at Roy's, later in the afternoon." "I am sorry for you, George." "You are fond of Sarah, of course." "But in my opinion, we should not attend." "The papers will have a field day." "In my experience, a political campaign can easily be lost over petty distractions." "Regina, this is nobody else's business." "And I don't intend to live my life in some sort of fishbowl." "I will attend." "They could bring up the shooting again." "Which would be unfair on all concerned, including his widow." "George, this is unfair, but.." ".. in the lead-up to the elections, everything you do, will be scrutinised to the n-th degree." "Darling, where are you going?" "Riding, to see the new fencing." "I assume, no one has an objection to that?" "Carolyn, thank you for the congratulations." "Go to hell, Regina !" "I didn't expect." "Rene was a decent bloke, everyone could see that." "And people feel for you too, Missy." "Are you alright?" "Rabbi Cohen." "Can I help you?" "Mrs. Nordmann is most upset, that she didn't have time to ask you, to organise a prayer," "I'm sorry I forgot the name of the word." "A minyan?" "That's the one, Sir." "Would it be too late to arrange, do you think?" "I know you wanted the separate rooms but," "I've missed talking to you." "And this way, we can be... .. not completely." "It does put things into perspective, doesn't it?" "A funeral." "I can't get that sound out of my head." "The soil, hitting the coffin." "So sorry to keep you waiting, Elizabeth." "I've got the painters working on Anna's old room." "Now, I'm all yours." "I've discussed with George, the nature of this marriage." "I can accept it, for what it is." "I hope you can do the same." "I embrace it." "Because, if you ever cause harm, or embarrassment to" "George or any member of my family," "You'll have me drawn and quartered." "Or skinned alive, if you prefer." "Thank you for the motherly chat." "You do realise that a marriage of this nature, can be easily annulled?" "A gentleman here to see Mrs Bligh Sr, sir." "He called Mrs Bligh by her first name." "May I help you?" " George Bligh." " Douglas Goddard." "I see from the paper, congratulations are in order." "The wedding yesterday and of course, your pre-selection." "Thank you." "Not that I bat for your team, I'm afraid." "You're a friend of my mother's?" "Mr Goddard?" "This is a surprise." "I realise you're on your way out, ehm.." "Not at all, we have a family friend in mourning." "I would having to pay my respect sometime this afternoon." "Aha." "Of course." "Sorry, I'm..." "Ah, before I forget."

"To a concert tomorrow night, actually." "Beethoven's 5th Symphony." "Eugene Goossens conducting the Sydney Symphony Orchestra" "You came all this way, to invite me to a concert?" "Well, it's a first step of course." "To see if we can't make some sort of a go of it" "Oh Douglas, I ehm..." "I am not who you think I am." "Well, you're not perfect." "Not like the rest of us, hmm?" "I don't treat people well." "Well, you could." "Elizabeth, unlike a lot of other people you're curious." "You're well read, got a sense of humour." "You'd rather drop dead in your tracks than let anyone get too close." "It's perfectly understandable, it's just that.." "we can live smaller, safer lives until we cark it." "Or we can share some parts of ourselves." "Share some of our dreams." "Father wants a word." "Glad you could stay." "Tell him, you're happy for him." "I'll never call her stepmother." "EVER." "Ah, there she is." "Hello father." "I wanted a quiet word." "To reassure you, that my marriage to Regina, it changes nothing." " Really." "In terms of Ash Park, your trust, your inheritance." "Now, the solicitor was here this morning, and we've made and.." "signed new wills, as one must." "But our wills and our finances are completely independent." "Do you understand?" "Any questions?" "I'm very disappointed in you." "And you !" "She loved him, since they were children." "Her certainty, that one day they'd marry, had never wavered." "The conviction, that the feelings they had, for one another, was stronger than anything, she had ever known." "Now, it all seemed like such hard work." "What was once his pride, now seems like plain stubbornness." "The voice in her head, repeated over and over again, that she may have made a mistake." "Was there a way out of this mess?" "His silence was more than she could bear." "Her anger at his attitude rose within her... .. Beth was furious." "Their neighbour had left no doubt... ..she felt, she no longer needed him... ..perhaps her family had been right all along." "She longed for home." "I appreciate your visit very much." "And the dish." "My dear, this is the hardest of days." "My heart goes out to you." "I'm sorry." "Sarah, you did everything you could, for him." "And if I may be so bold," "At least, you have a part of him, to carry with you through life." "To give you joy." "Yes." "If there's anything at all that you need, you let me know." "Rose, could you call the car, please." "Where are you off to, George?" "I'll be back for dinner." "He will not be forgotten." "For that is not our way." "His loved ones, we'll draw close to us." "We'll not forget this day." "For Dr. Rene Nordmann." "May he rest in peace." "For Dr. Rene Nordmann !" "Sarah, we all feel so much for you." "You were so brave." "I was?" "Excuse me." "You think it's alright to make a prayer?" "Hi everyone !" "Missy would like to lead us in a prayer." "Now, traditionally, this prayer, the mourners' kadish, should be said, by a group of Jewish men, for the woman alone." "But given, that Rene and I, didn't exactly live traditional lives," "(In Hebrew)" "(Have they come?" ")" "Mrs. Nordmann?" "Ah no," "This is Mrs. Nordmann, Dr. Nordmann's widow." "Mrs. Nordmann," "I wish you a long life." "Thank you so much, for coming all this way." "(In Hebrew)" "May his memory be a blessing." "Thank you." "G'day mate, Roy Briggs." "Thanks for coming down." "James Bligh." "This is my father George Bligh." "Welcome to Inverness." "Carolyn, can we talk?" "Perhaps later, I'm not feeling very well." "Would you mind, driving Anna home?" "Excuse me." "So sad." "Where shall I put this?" "In the kitchen please, Regina." "Actually dear, it's Mrs. Bligh." "George and I are married." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I thought, you would have known." "Why are you here?" "Why are you here?" " To pay my respects." " Liar." "LIAR !" "Take this woman from this house !" "It's time to go." "NOW." "I'm not sure, why I should apologise." "You heard what she called me." "She's just buried her husband." "I thought she knew, I thought ..." "I tend to defend you out of diplomacy, but in this situation..." "Have you been enjoying the garden, Mr Goddard?" "Oh yes." "I now know everything I'll ever need to know, about roses." "I'm not convinced you listened to a word I said." "Oh yes, the red ones are called red." "George, do you remember, when the Goddard catalogue used to arrive?" "All of George's school uniforms came from you." "If only I had known, I could have thrown in a pair of socks." "If you'll excuse me." "Of course." "You will stay the night, won't you?" "I was planning on taking a room at the pub." "We insist." "Rose, prepare the blue room for Mr Goddard, please." "If you'll excuse me." "What a charming woman." "To Sarah Nordmann, I give, devise and bequeath, finances held in trust, on behalf of our unborn child, for maintenance, education, advancement and benefit, reaching the age of 21." "I'm sorry you found out like that." "What were you thinking, George?" "The fact is, to have a successful political career," "I need someone by my side." "Regina and I..." "You of all people, know what she's like." "It's a pragmatic union." "This is a woman, who has never called me anything other than 'The Jew' and worse." "You have a right to be angry." "Yes I have a right to be angry." "At you !" "And Rene !" "You need to know the... .. you and the baby will be looked after." "It is almost laughable, really." "Rene and I were so close, to having some sort of a family life." "And now, I'm a widow." "Having a child, on my own." "You won't be on your own." "Because no matter how charitable you may feel towards me, or to the baby, we WILL be on our own." "It won't be charity." "Anyway," ".. I've just buried my husband." "But..." ".. go home, George." "Go home, to your wife." "Thank you so much for this." "A pleasure." "You seemed rather sad at dinner." "Oh." "Elizabeth?" "I'm sad for my son." "From what you've told me, your marriage was a very affectionate one." "Unfortunately my late husband and I, were not particularly demonstrative." "One does worry about the example that one has set one's children." "Were you not allowed, to chose your husband?" "Was there someone else, you'd rather had married?" "You know..." "Everyone deserves a chance at happiness." "So, are we going to the concert, tomorrow night?" "Oh darling, I really feel as though I'm needed here." "But I do appreciate the invitation." "And I look forward to hearing all about it." "Goodnight, Douglas." "Goodnight James." "Goodnight." "Where are you going?" "Sydney, I told you." "The Agricultural Society meeting." "I'll be back tomorrow." "No breakfast this morning?" "No." "Are you alright, George?" "Yes." "Here, let me." "Good." "Shall we go through your schedule a little later?" "No, no, this is having the desired effect." "Now, Sir Richard thinks your wireless interviews have been excellent." "Does he now?" "I've set up three more, for next week." "And if you approve, I put them into your diary, and my duplicate." "Where would I be, without a duplicate diary?" "I'm sure, you'd muddle along." "Oh, goodness me !" "Oh sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you." "Carolyn, will you tell me how I can help you." "Whatever it is." "I can't." "Darling, something's happened." "Tell me." "I just need you to hold me." "Stardust." "Stardust !" "Hey, that's my horse !" "Stardust !" "Rider !" "Gino, guess what I've just seen ?" "Well, I just met the new owner of Stardust." "It's just for the girl to try her out." "Carlo wants his money back now I have to show I can pay my debt somehow." "Stardust is MY horse !" "She's mine !" "Whatever made you think, that you have a right to do that?" "Do you have any idea, what that horse is worth?" "Gino, I can get us money !" "Gino's in debt father." "I have to bail him out father huh?" "!" "No, it's not like that !" "It's exactly like that." "I know what goes on in your head." "Well, clearly you don't !" "Gino !" "It's all in here." "That is a novel." "It's a story." "You're lucky I didn't burn it." "How long have you been reading it?" "No one reads this rubbish." "RUBBISH ?" "!" "Gino !" "Hey." "You don't show it to any one." "You don't read it, to any one." "I will show it, to who ever I want !" "And I've already sent the first two chapters to a publisher !" "It should be burnt." "No !" "This is a princess, slumming it." "Looking down her nose at everything !" "Looking down her nose at ME ?" "Everything that he has worked for, hand it over to her !" "Give it to me, that's my work !" "Anna, hey Anna !" "Bella." "Bella, I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry, Bella." "Anna please." "Cara, forgive me."
