Claude Dabney: I think I'm justified in saying that the Dabney line of women's hosiery and undergarments is second...
Miss Briggs: Second?
Claude Dabney: Second to none! - Underline second. - Underline none. - In the United Kingdom or the Empire, for that matter. If sales are falling - comma - and they are falling - comma - underline are - it is to you, as Sales Manager, that we look for an explanation.

Miss briggs, how many years have you been making what for convenience I call my tea?
What's wrong with it this time, Mr Dabney?
Why, nothing, except it tastes absolutely filthy.
Claude
What's the matter, father? Miss Briggs, you may go.
Prepare for a shock. He is out.
Out? Raymond
Yes, Raymond.
But it is six months I thought.
But it is reduced, good behavior.
Good behavior. How do you know about it
I just met his mother on the well. He rang her up, he is on his way home.
It is not that very car nonsense, father.
After all we have kept him dark. You know what will happen if he got about.
It must be near a scandal.
For crystal to find we have a bud in the jail , wouldn't it?
Do you think it will make any difference
Make any difference? The only difference it will make is that Crystal and I won't be married and she take herself and her capital and went back to America. Perhaps you will tell me where we get our new capital from then.
We must keep him dark.
We can't have him in the house I tell you, I thought we agreed about that.
Be firm!
I'm firm. I’m very firm.
That's right.

Oh, Raymond.
Oh, my darling, don't you let me down.
Are you alright?
Perfectly.
It has been such a terribly long time.
Oh, mother. Come on. Blow, harder. That's better.
You know, mother, I think you gained.
No, I have lost 6 pounds.
Really? Perhaps I'm getting weak.
What? More tears? Now, would you tell me why you cry when I come home, are you sorry I'm back?
Oh, darling, don't say such silly silly things.
After all, When you son goes to jail, you expect to cry. But when he comes home, that's something different.
I've been so sorry for you, Raymond. You are so very young, dear, they treated you so harshly.
Don't you be so sure about that. It wasn't such a terrible place. In many ways I think it is a very good thing. I met some very interesting people, I'm fit, well, I've never been fitter. I’m alright now, mother.
You should not have gone. Father and Claude were more sympathetic.
Let's not talk more about it. The whole thing was my fault, and it's over and done with, I've paid my debt to society. And now, there are only two things I want, and it won't be the first time you give them both to me. A kiss, and a hot bath.

Father, he's here.
Where is he
He's taking a bath.
And I suppose he has used up all the hot water by now.
Remember, Claude, he's your brother.
The more is the pity.
You are not going to be hard with him, father.
Certainly not, it is simply a matter of business, father and I will attend to it.
He's in here, father.
Raymond, are you back?
Not yet, I expect it in a minute. Glad to see you.
How do you do
Excuse me, it's soap. Hello, Claude, I'm very well, thank you.
Xx As ever. Will nothing ever teach you that life is serious?
It won't do me much good to feel that life is so serious
We come here especially to talk to you.
That's very thoughtful of you, won't you sit down?
Such facetiousness! Such impudence!
Could you wait a moment
If I had my way. Claude, I will handle this in my way.
Let's get it over.
Get what over?
I mean for a cermon let's have it.
Do you hear it, father?
Will you stop shouting, leave it to me.
You went to a first class school at my expense.
First class prison at my own, my education is complete.
Be quiet. I feel I've done enough for you. I'm not bound to do anything more.
I haven't asked you yet.
Have you any money?
Yes, I have several shillings.
There you are!
In spite everything, in spite the disgrace that you brought upon me and Claude. I’m going to do one more thing for you. I'm prepared to pay your fare to some part of the world where you can make a fresh start . On top of that, I'm going to give you 300 pounds. It was 200, father.
400. Do I hear anything more?(Listen to me, father) going 400, ladies and gentlemen (模仿拍卖)
Shut up. As for where you go, let's make it up to you to decide, that is if you can decide anything xx . I suggest Canada. Leave that to him.
Too wide, Canada. Australia then! Too narrow, in the physical sense of course. How about xx?
You can go to xx if you like if only go!
Like this?
Raymond, I think father is generous enough.
Be quiet, now is there any place you'd like to go to?
There is only one place I know that fills the bill. A place where no one asks you any questions and does not have to be told any lies. A place where no one cares about your past and less about your future. A place where is plenty of money, people and excitement, opportunities and plenty of living!
And where may that be?
London.
Wait a minute.
Father, I really want to thank you for your kind offer to send me to Canada or Australia. However I think it shows a regrettable lack of consideration for the colonies so therefore I must refuse it.
You have no right to refuse it.
Oh, I’m tired of being punished. My crime wasn't so serious.
Not so serious?!
Was it?(萌翻了！)
To buy a motor car and to sell it without having paid for it, not serious?
You and Claude spend your whole lives buying women's underwear on credit and immediately sell it.
With a profit!
Yes, but I'm not so sure that isn't worse. Come to think about it, Perhaps you should go to the colonies.
That's enough. Come, Claude.
Father, just a moment. I see your point now, I want to cooperate. I will change my name and grow a long grey beard.
Stop laughing, what are you going to do?
I'm leaving, by request, by a very special request.
You are not going to do anything of the type. I heard them, Canada, Australia.
They don't care as long as I go.
Where can you go dear?
Oh, I don't know, a hotel. Now now, don't you worry about me, I will get a job.
But why the hurry?
That's what I'd like to know. I think it is for old Claude, he's terrified of people who will find out about me.
Oh of course. His engagement.
Engagement? Claude?
It isn't official yet, but just the same.
You mean to say a woman exists who's willing to put up with, I mean who's once to marry Claude? What's she like?
We haven't met her yet. But I understand she's very beautiful and well off.
So that's it. Wealthy spinster marries into ,the xx of underwear. We have to announce a famous spinster has found a husband a a famous business has found some capital.
Don't you need a little capital yourself dear? I have a few pounds on me.
I’m alright. I’m not entirely strapped. Don't you worry about me. But do you know you are terribly sweet and I love you.
Father, he's here.

Mr Raymondd, it is a surprise. Abroad?
How are you, Frank.
What shall it be sir, a dry martini?
No, I think I'll have some whiskey, Frank. I'm a little depressed.
Depressed? Well, don't drink whiskey, Mr. Raymond. Allow me to suggest a Champagne Cocktail. Drinks are like lifts, Mr. Raymond. Whiskey sends you down into the cellar and champagne up to the roof.
Are you an old fool or an old philosopher, Frank?
You have to be both, sir, to be a waiter.
I have a little philosophy, sir. I borrowed it from the poet Browning. But, I improved it, sir, developed it a bit: Zest in quest. Keep going. Get somewhere.
Going where? What's the quest?
The quest is of no importance, sir. It's the zest that matters.
Zest in quest.
Good evening, madam.
A champagne cocktail, please.
Certainly, madam.
Make it two, Frank.
Two, sir, thank you.
I hope you don't mind my following your example. No? Good. Haven't we met somewhere before?
No, we have not.
Very foolish of it, wasn't it?
That is a matter of opinion.
Your face seems strangely familiar to me.
So do your manners.
Don't pretend to be in a hurry, because the opera doesn't start until 8:00.
Opera? How did you know I'm going to the opera?
The ticket in your hand, very elementary, my dear miss wetherson.
Good night, Mr fair xx, and goodbye.
Please don’t be angry.
Waiter, Do you know miss Catherine burns.
Yes, madam, should I phone her room?
No, she isn't there. Would you please give her these tickets and tell her I took the liberty of going on.
Yes, madam.
Oh, waiter, you might call the manager and tell him that the person who is responsible for sweeping out the lounge neglected one of his duties.
Yes, madam.
Oh, she is beautiful, Frank. How could I help it?
Help what, Mr Ramon?
Help yourself, Frank.
Good luck.

Quite right, sit down.
Now look here, young man, this just happens to
Music, Sit down.
Would you please tell me what you are doing in this box?
Trying to listen to the music, will you stop talking?
Will you leave instantly?
Don't be so inhospitable.
I shall send for the manager.
I will not stand for this.
What's your answer?
Answer, what are you driving at.
Don't you hear me?!
I will call the police.

Clara, please change the music.
Certainly, madam. You are back early, wasn't the opera nice?
Would you, please go answer the doorbell.
Answer the doorbell? Not to answer any doorbell in this, If I answer that doorbell every time it rang I should be full of creditors. The man on the radio has told me, the man for last three month’s rent, the butcher, the baker, the candy stick maker, oh no, thank you.
Don't be hysterical, Clara, it won't do you any good.
Let them ring, that's what I would say.
Clara, this isn't a creditor.
That's what you say, madam.
Well, will you please go answer the door?
Is that an order, madam?
Yes it is, Clara.
Oh, very well. Once more into the breach, dear friends.
Don't grumble.
Why not? Cook’s left, Steven’s left, I have to grumble
Who's at the door
I don’t know
Why, didn't you ask him
I did
What did he say?
He said he was the xx, even I can see that wasn't true. And he smiled.
Oh, he smiled, did he.
Operator, give me the police station.

They seem to be out.
On the contrary, we seem to be out, they're in.
Why don't they answer
Because they can't hear.
I'll tell you why they're don't answer because they think it's me.
Yes, or me.
Are you sure they are in?
Positive.
Funny they may tell me six in town this morning, they were at home.
I saw her going myself.
So I shall stop here until they do answer.
So should I. Well since we are going to spend such a lot of time together perhaps we should introduce ourselves, Ramon xx
How do you do
Do you spend a lot of time here, Mr
I've been here all day, 6 this morning
You must get very lonely
Think we should ring again?
Doesn't seem to do any harm.
Very considerate, this sort of thing
You mean for them or for us?
For us, especially for me. I might tell you, I'm having a baby sometime this evening.
A What? Baby.
Is it the first time this has happened?
First.
Do you think you should be asked in now?
Yes, the trouble is I ought to be in the hospital.
Gracious, I hope not.
How much is your fault
A bill, now I don't think you should leave your wife alone at a time like this, it as serious as business having a baby.
Well do I know it.
Perhaps I can be of some assistance to you.
Put on me. I wonder if you could.
They seem to be out.

I thought you might need them
Oh Catherine, how are you, aren't you at the opera? But I gave them to the waiter. Yes, at your hotel. Why, he didn't? I don't understand. (泰勒拿了)I came home at a frightful headache.
Crystal has got a headache.
Headache? Oh let me talk to her.
Just a minute, darling, mother wants to talk to you for a couple of hours.
Hello, crystal darling, is that you? Oh it is. You poor darling. Is it a headache or a xx?What, both?
Oh I will tell you what to do. Take some cotton seeds, just a handful. And get some boiling water, you have to get some boiling water. Well, be sure the water is absolutely boiling.
Alright, goodbye.
Madam, it's the police.
Fine.
Good evening, Mrs wetherby, you sent for someone?
I certainly did and with reason.
I wonder what's your command is, madam.
I want that man arrested and thrown in jail. He has caught me in the xx hotel and followed me to the theater and now I find him at my home.
He's only doing his duty.
Is it his duty to follow me all over the place?
I'm afraid it is, it's entirely within their rights.
Well, I like that. Who do you think you are anyway?
And if I might offer a few words as explanation.
You'd better Leave it to me, too. I won't stand this nonsense anymore. How about getting out of my house
Clara, put them out
If I might offer a little advice
I didn't ask for advice, I asked for help
Sorry, madam, is there anything else?
Anything else, you haven't done anything yet.
You see, madam, these gentlemen are bailiffs. They've a writ.
Will you stop saying things I don't understand? What are bailiffs and what are writs
This is a writ
Happy to be of your assistance
I take that you are a sheriff.
A bailiff, madam, Mr xx
And what's he supposed to be ?
Sheriff officer, madam.
Raymond, must do things orderly. Follow the xx, lady.
Writ, xx, yes, the old pronunciation. In the high court of justice, division of g no. Three, xx,Defiant, George the sixth, by the grace of god and the Great Britain, (Get on with it) to the sharif of the county of London, greetings. (Greetings? That's not)We command the goods and the sheatos in your balleyweek. You are called to make some 483 pounds 7 shillings or so. The interest rate is 5 pounds per …(反正就是她欠钱)
I see. I rather gather what it's all about. How about get out of my house and I will send you a check in the morning, goodnight.
Very sorry, madam, but I must leave my man until your money is paid.
You have to what?!
It is the law. He must stay here to see that nothing is moved from the house.
Are you insane?
It's not me madam, it's the law. You can get rid of him anytime by paying the money in full, plus his fee, 86 per day.(Very reasonable a pay)
I will settle with you later.
When you settle with him, he'll go. In the meanwhile, don't you worry. He's a gentleman, you can see. He has his orders. Treat him right and he'll treat you right. There you are... the man in possession.
Wait a minute. What do you mean? Man in possession? Man in possession of what? Me?
Well, you see that the order...
Will you let me get a word in edge ways! Who are you anyway?
Bailiff of the County...
Eh, Sheriff's Officer, if you please.
Sheriff’s officer, will you go right back to the sheriff and tell him if he wants to take possession of me he'd better come himself. And if you are as half smart as I think you are, you will get out before I say something rude.
She's been staff you know.
She's glorious. I said she's furious.
Set off. Thanks very much for your offer to me.
Not at all. Thank you very much for the job. But, does she really owe all this money ?
She'll bet.
She must be well off.
That happens on that account . You are new on the job, and I will give you a few edges. All you have to do is to stay here until the judgement is satisfied.(I see). See that nothing is moved, watch everybody that goes out. And don't let them put you where you can't see nothing, see. Do it all in a fine and gentleman’s piety. And if you can find yourself another job about the household, the better. That helps pass the time.
I don't think I have to worry about that.
And remember trying behaving like a gentleman.
I'll try. Of course this is the first time I’ve been a bailiff.
Not a bailiff. Sheriff’s officer if you please.
And in that capacity, be helpful, courteous and considerate. And establish pleasant personal relationships.
Rely on me.
Alright. Hold on, I'll see you later.
I thought you might need them
Oh Catherine, how are you, aren't you at the opera? But I gave them to the waiter. Yes, at your hotel. Why, he didn't? I don't understand. (泰勒拿了)I came home at a frightful headache.
Crystal has got a headache.
Headache? Oh let me talk to her.
Just a minute, darling, mother wants to talk to you for a couple of hours.
Hello, crystal darling, is that you? Oh it is. You poor darling. Is it a headache or a xx?What, both?
Oh I will tell you what to do. Take some cotton seeds, just a handful. And get some boiling water, you have to get some boiling water. Well, be sure the water is absolutely boiling.
Alright, goodbye.
Madam, it's the police.
Fine.
Good evening, Mrs wetherby, you sent for someone?
I certainly did and with reason.
I wonder what's your command is, madam.
I want that man arrested and thrown in jail. He has caught me in the xx hotel and followed me to the theater and now I find him at my home.
He's only doing his duty.
Is it his duty to follow me all over the place?
I'm afraid it is, it's entirely within their rights.
Well, I like that. Who do you think you are anyway?
And if I might offer a few words as explanation.
You'd better Leave it to me, too. I won't stand this nonsense anymore. How about getting out of my house
Clara, put them out
If I might offer a little advice
I didn't ask for advice, I asked for help
Sorry, madam, is there anything else?
Anything else, you haven't done anything yet.
You see, madam, these gentlemen are bailiffs. They've a writ.
Will you stop saying things I don't understand? What are bailiffs and what are writs
This is a writ
Happy to be of your assistance
I take that you are a sheriff.
A bailiff, madam, Mr xx
And what's he supposed to be ?
Sheriff officer, madam.
Raymond, must do things orderly. Follow the xx, lady.
Writ, xx, yes, the old pronunciation. In the high court of justice, division of g no. Three, xx,Defiant, George the sixth, by the grace of god and the Great Britain, (Get on with it) to the sharif of the county of London, greetings. (Greetings? That's not)We command the goods and the sheatos in your balleyweek. You are called to make some 483 pounds 7 shillings or so. The interest rate is 5 pounds per …(反正就是她欠钱)
I see. I rather gather what it's all about. How about get out of my house and I will send you a check in the morning, goodnight.
Very sorry, madam, but I must leave my man until your money is paid.
You have to what?!
It is the law. He must stay here to see that nothing is moved from the house.
Are you insane?
It's not me madam, it's the law. You can get rid of him anytime by paying the money in full, plus his fee, 86 per day.(Very reasonable a pay)
I will settle with you later.
When you settle with him, he'll go. In the meanwhile, don't you worry. He's a gentleman, you can see. He has his orders. Treat him right and he'll treat you right. There you are... the man in possession.
Wait a minute. What do you mean? Man in possession? Man in possession of what? Me?
Well, you see that the order...
Will you let me get a word in edge ways! Who are you anyway?
Bailiff of the County...
Eh, Sheriff's Officer, if you please.
Sheriff’s officer, will you go right back to the sheriff and tell him if he wants to take possession of me he'd better come himself. And if you are as half smart as I think you are, you will get out before I say something rude.
She's been staff you know.
She's glorious. I said she's furious.
Set off. Thanks very much for your offer to me.
Not at all. Thank you very much for the job. But, does she really owe all this money ?
She'll bet.
She must be well off.
That happens on that account . You are new on the job, and I will give you a few edges. All you have to do is to stay here until the judgement is satisfied.(I see). See that nothing is moved, watch everybody that goes out. And don't let them put you where you can't see nothing, see. Do it all in a fine and gentleman’s piety. And if you can find yourself another job about the household, the better. That helps pass the time.
I don't think I have to worry about that.
And remember trying behaving like a gentleman.
I'll try. Of course this is the first time I’ve been a bailiff.
Not a bailiff. Sheriff’s officer if you please.
And in that capacity, be helpful, courteous and considerate. And establish pleasant personal relationships.
Rely on me.
Alright. Hold on, I'll see you later.
9、
Clara, do you think it's awful to marry for money?
No, madam. Not for a lot of money.
You're very practical, aren't you.(thank you)
I'm afraid we haven't a chance.(why not)
With that man downstairs, he'll ruin every chance we ever had. Oh, I wish we could get rid of him.
Would you like me to poison him, madam?
Oh, no Clara, let's not be too enthusiastic.
How did the late Mr. Wetherby pass on, madam?
Oh, eh, he used to love to fight.
Oh, the fighting type. I've experienced them.
Yeah and he always won, except the last time he picked a tiger, a Bengal tiger.
Hmmm. Kinda overmatched itself, as you might say.
Oh, definitely.
10、
Well, Mr sheriff man.
Sheriff’s officer, please. I was just admiring your smiling friends.
Rather nice, aren't they.
Yes, they must have cost you a tiny sum.
Cost? We didn't buy them. My husband shot them. When he comes back from Africa, he always brings a whole boatload of these sorts of things. He is one of the world’ s very best marksman.
That's very interesting. You are smiling.(这里好帅啊) You know, it's the first time that I have seen you smile. And if I do say so, it's very very becoming.
I'm not a big loser really, although you did trick your way into the house. I'll make the best of it I suppose.
I'll tell what's the best to do. You make the best of me and I make the best of you.
That's hardly an even thing. Come along and I'll show you your room.
Don't you think we get to talk a little first?
Is that one of your duties?
Absolutely.
I suppose you have a name.
Oh yes, my friends call me bobo.
Nevertheless, you sleep in the butler’s room.
Just a moment, where is the butler’s room.
Just across the kitchen.
Where do you sleep
Upstairs
Well, then I'll sleep upstairs too.
Now, say here young man, if you think
I'm very sorry but it's my duty. You have a guest room don't you.
Well, whether you like it or not, I'm the guest.
Alright, Mr bobo to you.
A very charming house you have, Mrs xx.
I like it . I think English houses are adorable, don't you.
Adorable, crystal.
Is that one of your duties also?
No, that's my own idea.
Let's stick to business.
You won't like it.
Well I'll try if you don't mind.
I dare you'll hate me by tomorrow.
Well, I'm not exactly fond of you now.
I’m afraid you scarcely know me.
Must you keep your eyes on me all the time?
It's all in the line of duty and I love my work.
By the way how much did you pay that bailor.
Pay him?
For the job. You think you are very clever don't you.
Well, I wanted that job very bad really I did.
You need that 86 pence a day.
We have much in common.
This is your room.
Where's your room if I may ask.
You are not xx by any chance
The duty again, my room is just across the hall.
You mean there, I have to be sure you don't remove all the furniture in the night.
You read my mind.
Now you read mine.
What do you think of it
Charming
I hope you'll be comfortable
I'm sure I will be. Except any pajamas
That's too bad. Perhaps I can lend you some
Think it big enough
You may have a little trouble getting them over your head outside of that. I think it is big enough for you. Now you just look like a stick from Micandi.
Does this belong to your husband. I hope he won't mind my using them.
I'm sure he won't. They are too small for him anyway.
Is your husband an African?
He isn't an African
Oh darling, I'll only be a minute. don't be cross with me, and don't drink anymore.
It's my husband.
What of it
You don't understand, he's so quick tempered and so jealous, something awful might happen
What do you want me to do
Come with me, please for my sake
Clara, do you think it's awful to marry for money?
No, madam. Not for a lot of money.
You're very practical, aren't you.(thank you)
I'm afraid we haven't a chance.(why not)

11、
Your bag sir.
Oh yes, thank you very much. Here you are
Thank you sir
Didn't get dressed
Don't ask me who told me about your little joke. Because I promised Clara I wouldn't tell. As we see that though the late Mr. Wetherby's head was small, his feet were large.
Is that so. Well, with you, it's just the other way around.
Would you be good enough to shut the door.
I already shut the door.
On your way out!
Oh, you mean you'd rather I left.
I mean I'd rather you hadn't come at all.
That's a fine way to talk to me after the night I've been put in. That bed down there, no wonder your butler left.
Will you take off that sill looking hat
Where's Clara
She's down in the kitchen trying to find some bread
Hello who is it. Oh darling it's you. It's nice of you to call me so early. Oh no I've been awake for ages. Where are you
A late Mr xx, say hello for me
Will you shut up and go away. Not you, I was just talking to the dog. What was that.
I said your are adorable.
There must be something wrong with the line, will you say that again
Did you hear that now, what do you mean no. Never mind I'll see you tonight anyhow. I'm bringing my father and mother. Not brother I haven't got a brother I said mother.
Goodbye sweetheart
How did that get there
By the dump waiter
But we haven't any
You'd get downstairs Mr, the bailiff is waiting for you
Will you excuse me please
It will be a pleasure
12、
It's a boy, I thought you'd like to know. Eight pounds fourteen. I don’t quite understand. That's what he weighs
I see, I thought you were trying to borrow some money
And he's got his father’s nose exactly
How do you come for that
Exactly. The first thing a doctor said about a boy Is that he's got his fathers nose
That's nice
By the way, anything to report
Nothing
How's she taking it
I think you'd better keep an eye on her
Tricky
Oh, good morning, Ma'am. I just pop 'round to see if everything was shipshape.
Oh, is that so. Well everything is just as shipshape as it can be, whatever that means.
How about the morning’s check
The check. I'm afraid you have to come back a bit later
Very good. At what time
Mr bailiff, would you do something for me
With pleasure
I'm having a few guests in for dinner and I really want to be alone.
You wouldn't want to embarrass me would you. You can just have him out of the house from six to midnight please
I'm sorry, Ma'am. Orders is orders. I'd oblige if I could but I can't.
What's wrong
Everything. Can't you see this part, I'm having a dinner party with you in the house
Is it an important dinner party
I've invited my fiancé and he will invite his parents here. I don't want the house full of bill collectors
Is there anyone you can get money from
There isn't anyone. Can you lend it to me
I wish I could
That's awfully sweet of you. I wish you could too
Haven't you any family or friends or anything
All my real friends are as broke as I am and my family is in Des Moines, Iowa. Have you ever heard of Des Moines, Iowa?
No. I haven't.
Well, that will give you a rough idea of where it is.
How did you end in this place
Quite easily. I just married Mr xx
He's dead, didn't he leave you anything
How could he he didn't have anything, except those dump friends on the wall
I see. Where did you meet xx.
On the boat coming over. I won a contest and the first prize was a trip to Europe. That was nice, it certainly was. Except they only gave me a one way ticket
What kind of contest was this? Bathing beauties?
Well, it was sort of intellectual. What do you mean bathing beauties?
Are you intellectual too?
Well, I had to think of a slogan for canned fish.
A slogan for canned fish? What did you think of?
Would you really like to know?
Certainly!
If you can't fish, canned fish.
That's marvelous.
Do you like it
You have a genius for such things haven't you
It's nothing
With a mind like yours you should go a long way
I had
Then, you married Mr. Wetherby.
I think he married me. I wasn't really noticing.
Are you nothing this time
You bet your life on it I'm not taking any chance. I like him and he's got money tons of it. Then you have to come barging in just for critical science
Just a moment Perhaps I can help you
Not that you care to evaporate
How are you going to take care of all the people tonight
What do you mean
Two of your servants already left you haven't a butler
What of it
Who's going to serve the dinner
Clara
I thought she has to do the cooking
Certainly, can't she do more than one thing at a time
I don’t know but I doubt it
What's your big idea?
Simply this, I can't evaporate; but, I can cooperate - as part of my duties.
Well?
I was thinking that I might butle for you.
Butle? Eh, what's butle?
Well, that's the infinitive of butler. I butle. Thou butleist. He butles.
You mean you'd...
Yes! I know something about wines and you saw this morning how I handle a tray. So, tonight I'll be the butler instead of the Sheriff's officer. What do you say?
What do I say? It's a grand idea! Would you do that
For you I would
But wait a minute you haven't got any uniform
Good heavens, I must have left it at my last place
Maybe my butler did the same thing come on let's see
Your bag sir.
Oh yes, thank you very much. Here you are
Thank you sir

Right may you never be able to pay them
I think you make a wonderful butler except I don’t like your name. Not not for a butler. Breton?

Pick the potato off the floor
Do you like that
Alright you're xx from now on and don't forget it
With a name like that Mrs burns will go crazy about you. You'll see. How where did you get him I mean the treasure, he's too wonderful and with such a profile you're the luckiest thing, I mean the way you attract that kind of butler. By the way do you know anything about announcing
I've never been a butler before. I guess I just ask the name and announce
That's the front door, you are from the outside and the door is closed and you ring the bell
Who am I?
You are Mrs burns aren't you

You could be someone important. What I mean is I think you do look rather important. Announce me please. And let that be a lesson to you, butlers and bailiffs are never as important as they look. That's fine, every inch a butler. Who's next? Lord xx, I thought he gives the party class. Here are the realms, 140 years old and very absent minded. Don't be surprised if he's wearing a xx.

You better answer it. Eh, don't leave me here barefooted!
And don't be surprised, Mother, if Crystal seems a little outspoken. She doesn't mean it. She's American. And, well, you know what Americans are. By the way mother, not a word about Raymond
Wait a moment. What are you doing here. Listen, steady, father
Whom shall I announce please
I'll find out what's happening
I have looked forward to meeting you
It is a pleasure a great pleasure
How do you do, won't you come in and sit down

Mother what do you think? What do you say father. Father speechless
Your butler, he's new isn't he. What happened to stenvens
He just walked out. They do that you know
Where did you get this man
He just happened along, pure luck. Won't you sit down, you do seem so restless
I restless? That's a good one. My cigarette case, oh it's in my overcoat. Excuse me a moment
Won't you please sit down
What are you doing here
Who told you you can wear my hat
Never mind about the hat. How did you know? About crystal. I suppose mother told you.
No she won't tell me anything
Don't lie. You must know. You just came here to embarrass everyone. I suppose you think it funny
I'm afraid I didn't tell you to xx I told you to xx out
Yes I do brother. Even you should see that
I told you to kill out
I can't do that.
Yes you can and you will.
I only just come . And I'm allowed to earn an honest living. I’m employed here as a butler
Did you say who you are
I giving away our family secret and my own brother’s
I'll kill out with you. Very well crystal will kick you out, I'll see to that
She will. How much do you like Tibet? I need a little money.
You better answer it. Eh, don't leave me here barefooted!
And don't be surprised, Mother, if Crystal seems a little outspoken. She doesn't mean it. She's American. And, well, you know what Americans are. By the way mother, not a word about Raymond
Wait a moment. What are you doing here. Listen, steady, father
Whom shall I announce please
I'll find out what's happening
I have looked forward to meeting you
It is a pleasure a great pleasure
How do you do, won't you come in and sit down
What's a nice butler you have my dear
Xx? I’m glad you like it. May I take your rat?
I'll just throw it down here
Mother what do you think? What do you say father. Father speechless
Your butler, he's new isn't he. What happened to stenvens
He just walked out. They do that you know
Where did you get this man
He just happened along, pure luck. Won't you sit down, you do seem so restless
I restless? That's a good one. My cigarette case, oh it's in my overcoat. Excuse me a moment
Won't you please sit down
What are you doing here

Catherine, dear, just where did we see "Ferguson" before? His face is so familiar.
Not to me, it isn't.
You never have any memory for faces.
Could it have been in Cairo, Madam?
Yes, of course, that's it. Cairo.
Just a minute, Mother, you've never been to Cairo.
Oh, haven't I? I thought I had.
Well, now that I think of it, I've never been to Cairo myself, Madam.
That's funny. Have you ever been to Cairo, dear.
Not that I can remember, I haven't.
Well, then, it can't have been in Cairo!
What a coincidence.
It's a small world.
We must get to the bottom of this, "Ferguson".
By all means, Madam.
Hello crystal, come to join the party?
Crystal darling, how's it going, I mean the headache. Won't you come in First we thought it was in Cairo.
I hope we haven't embarrassed you.
Be a butler（这时候已经喜欢上他了）
Most extraordinary. The moment I saw him I said to myself I've seen you somewhere before I said.
Yes, his face seems familiar to me too.
Really is that so.
He's good looking isn't he
His profile is positively classic. Have you seen it
But, Crystal, darling, haven't you been well? You look so tired.
Oh, no, I've been all right. But, needless to say, you're the picture of health! You've gained, haven't you? It's very becoming though.(呼应她根本没有好朋友，好朋友都跟她一样穷)
What is it.
May I speak to you.
I’m sorry to bother you, but I thought it rather important
What's the matter, something wrong
No it's a question a very important question. How am I doing.
You are simply
I just wanted to be sure
Hello Clara
Hello. For heaven’s sake, what do you want
I want cocktails
Have I got you the cocktails instead of everything else. I think I've got enough to do. Cooking from ten o'clock this morning, setting the tables, getting all the dinner ready xx. As if that is not enough to do, and you come in and ring the doorbell, shouting where are the cocktails. I’m asking you. You are the butler aren't you? Why don’t you get the cocktails?
Clara, but you already made them.
For heaven’s sake, why couldn't you say so at first?
Now I tell you, as a butler, You are a dump thing. Get it out of here.
I'm afraid I'm a little late. Couldn't find my xx anywhere. So I have to come without them
Should I remove your glarcious my lord
Well I forgot them I should go back and get them
This is xx’s house my lord
Well I'd better speak to her
Whom should I announce sir. I beg your pardon
Uncle how are you
Let me introduce you, Mrs burns, Mr xx.
He's a music author.
Music? You're a musician. I just adore music.
I married a man who plays the saxophone Fortunately I got a divorce. By the way I hope that you don't play the saxophone?
Oh really, will you tell more about it to me, I want to hear more
I just can't help being tickled about it
I don’t want you to be tickled, understand that
Cocktails. Thank you dear
You're looking very lovely tonight mother
What are you doing, aren't you afraid this will get you into trouble
Not at all, it's all perfectly legal.
Will you keep your way from us, boy?
Don't grab, father
Which one should I take
As far as I know, they are all alike madam
Tell me, have you always been a butler?
Oh, yes, Madam, for generations.
Oh, I see. The family profession?
Yes. Handed down from father to son.
How would you like to work in America?
America?
Oh, yes. All the best American families have English butlers. They are sort of handed down from mother to daughter.
I called him the sales manager and said to him my dear this sort of thing simply won't do
Catherine dear, is there something wrong with the cocktail?
No everything is fine.
Furgson, cocktail for Mrs burns
So I called him the sales manager and said to him my dear this sort of thing simply won't do(细节，呼应开头公司的危机，爱财的哥哥在巴结有地位的人)
Xx, it is too marvelous
Just a moment, I'll have one for xx
Xx, thank you
(第一次知道他叫啥。只有他听不懂他在讲什么)
You would be delighted to hear that I bought a special license, we can now be married whenever we like. We go to the attorney and sign the bond by which we mutually share each other's possessions. It's a very beautiful thought, don't you think
That's a lovely thought. Claude dear, would you really have cared for me if I have been absolutely penniless
What a question
Forgive me. I shouldn't have said that. Have you set the date
Tomorrow I can't, I have a sales convention. What about Wednesday
No, Thursday, Wednesday is the house cleaning day
Xx, We are going to be married in a church
Oh no I always get married at home
My dear, don't be facetious about such sacred a matter. If we are married at home, that will mean a special special license.
Surely, I'm with the special special license
Crystal my dear, here to us, may we live happily ever after, and of course in peace and prosperity, it's the most important toast I've ever drunk my dear
I say it and I'll say it again. What did you say. What did I say. That's it.
Why not cut off their arms
How blood thirsty
Not at all. The armchair is the most uncomfortable thing ever invented. No amber room.
Xx has got it
Who got what
He said why not cut off the arms of armchairs and put them onto chairs that haven't any arms
Maybe I'm wrong
It's all very confusing isn't it
Yes, One in the furniture business. Thank heavens I'm not
What is your line, Mr. Dabney? It must be very interesting, I'm sure.
Me? Oh. I'm in ladies underwear.
What?
Well, we're both in ladies underwear.
Really? How very odd.
Catherine dear, who was the name of the woman we know who always wore xx
I'm glad my lawyer advised me to stay out of business
Personally, I don't see any reason why young women shouldn't invest in some well established xx, take our xx
Now what was it you were saying
I was going to say, if advise you to invest in anything at all, I should advise you to make your investment in some private corporation
You are absolutely right
Thank you my boy
Of course the last thing to be saved for is the stock exchange oon the other hand a little thing to be said against it.
for instance, Supposing my broker says to me: now, this stock will go up! Or, this stock will go down. What do I say? I say to him: my dear fella, my business is ladies' underwear. And that does not go up and it does not go down. It stays just where it is.
The best investment of all is marriage, if two people really love each other
Quite right Claude my boy. So Let us drink to the best investment in the world, marriage
I think so too, provided you buy it in bulk
Mr xx, that really is the funniest. Poor darling, is that one of the funniest things you have ever heard
Tell me, How he really comes out
About the question of the honeymoon
How romantic all this seems. You know I often think of my own honeymoon. Indeed I shall never forget it, not if I live to be 100. Oh, you weren't there you can't remember.
It's not an accident.
If I may say so sir
You may say nothing. It was done on purpose. Stop dabbing on me. I won't keep my temper.
Somebody Spill something?
Crystal, how did this guy get here.
Please don't make a fuss
Claude you're really behaving badly please don't make a fuss
I will make a fuss. Listen to me, crystal, I know this man and he is not the fit person for you to have in the house
Do you know something about furgson.
I know that I want him to pack up and go. I won't keep calm
You are losing head over nothing.
Nothing, you call this nothing
Just a moment, Mr Dabney, you had a lot to say, Perhaps this is time I say something
Remember your position
I'm remembering my position but after all I must have some consideration on this matter. Now, Mr Dabney, just what do you know about me
Enough I say. This has gone far, too far, I seriously suggest that
Thank you Mr Dabney, And I also have a suggestion to make. Suppose we all go to the drawing room and have a little coffee to soothe our nerves
You will serve coffee for me
With pleasure
Catherine, dear, just where did we see "Ferguson" before? His face is so familiar.

Hello crystal, come to join the party?
Crystal darling, how's it going, I mean the headache. Won't you come in First we thought it was in Cairo.
I hope we haven't embarrassed you.
Be a butler（这时候已经喜欢上他了）

Goodbye, crystal darling, it has been a charming dinner
Mrs
Goodbye, crystal darling, it has been a charming dinner
Mrs Dabney, I'm so sorry on our first meeting too
Don't give it this thought dear, I love so meeting you
Not too late, Claude
Crystal, I'm sorry I lost my temper
I know you would be
But I stick to what I said. This man must go
Claude dear I thought we forgot all about it
Oh no, I'm not the one to forget. Would you leave sensibly or must I go on
I don’t see how I can leave now
Very well, it's the police
No I will not have the police in my home
You won't have to, they're the last people he wants to see
I shouldn't go on if I were you
Claude, I'm certain there must be some misunderstanding, I think furgson is a most respectable person.
His name is not furgson, and he is not a butler
How do you know that
Because I happen to be aware that he has just been let out of prison
Perfectly true
Well then how did you
That I was right. Will you go or should I send for the police
You may send for the whole Scotland Yard if you wish. My position here is perfectly legal. However it you want me to go I'll, all it means is to lose another job
I thought you see reason
It isn't reason, it is sentiment, now should I pack and leave
If you lose this job, what will you do
That I don't know
What do you got to do with it
You stay here
You must be mad
That's settled, so we won't talk about it any more
But crystal I demanded a explanation
You demand? I think you'd better go Claude because you are being very silly
If I go, I may not come back.
And if you don't go, I may not want you to come back.
Very well
My hat, sir
Don't bother, I'll be back tomorrow
Tell me how did Mr Dabney happen to know you
We used to live in the same house together
He gets to know what you do
He was never quite able to figure that out
Where else have you been besides prison
Well knocking around places
Haven't you any family
Oh yes indeed I have a family
Wouldn't they help you
Yes they would if I leave England
Why don't you
I sort of like your place
What's the matter, I changed?
Completely
For the better?
And how?
There is room for improvement
Plenty
Nevertheless I don't see how ever I get around without you
When is the wedding
The day after tomorrow
Not really, how are you ever going to wait so long
Don't be silly. Really I'm very grateful to you
For what
Well you could have given the game away
What, to spoil the most brilliant marriage of the season
You could have done it
No I hope you will be very happy.
Let's see, after the wedding you'll be able to pay the bill and I'll be able to go. After all, you're going to marry you know. You don't want two men in possession do you
I was thinking of you as a butler
Butler to Mr Claude Dabney? No thank you
What's wrong with Mr Dabney
I don't know. That's for you to find out
That's fine, certainly glad to find out that there is something that you don't have to help me over
Goodbye, crystal darling, it has been a charming dinner

What do you got to do with it
You stay here
You must be mad
That's settled, so we won't talk about it any more
But crystal I demanded a explanation
You demand? I think you'd better go Claude because you are being very silly
If I go, I may not come back.
And if you don't go, I may not want you to come back.
Very well
My hat, sir
Don't bother, I'll be back tomorrow
Tell me how did Mr Dabney happen to know you
We used to live in the same house together
He gets to know what you do
He was never quite able to figure that out
Where else have you been besides prison
Well knocking around places
Haven't you any family
Oh yes indeed I have a family
Wouldn't they help you
Yes they would if I leave England
Why don't you
I sort of like your place
What's the matter, I changed?
Completely
For the better?
And how?
There is room for improvement
Plenty
Nevertheless I don't see how ever I get around without you
When is the wedding
The day after tomorrow
Not really, how are you ever going to wait so long
Don't be silly. Really I'm very grateful to you
For what
Well you could have given the game away
What, to spoil the most brilliant marriage of the season
You could have done it
No I hope you will be very happy.
Let's see, after the wedding you'll be able to pay the bill and I'll be able to go. After all, you're going to marry you know. You don't want two men in possession do you
I was thinking of you as a butler
Butler to Mr Claude Dabney? No thank you
What's wrong with Mr Dabney
I don't know. That's for you to find out
That's fine, certainly glad to find out that there is something that you don't have to help me over
Goodbye, crystal darling, it has been a charming dinner
Mrs Dabney, I'm so sorry on our first meeting too
Don't give it this thought dear, I love so meeting you
Not too late, Claude
Crystal, I'm sorry I lost my temper
I know you would be
But I stick to what I said. This man must go
Claude dear I thought we forgot all about it
Oh no, I'm not the one to forget. Would you leave sensibly or must I go on
I don’t see how I can leave now
Very well, it's the police
No I will not have the police in my home
You won't have to, they're the last people he wants to see
I shouldn't go on if I were you
Claude, I'm certain there must be some misunderstanding, I think furgson is a most respectable person.
His name is not furgson, and he is not a butler
How do you know that
Because I happen to be aware that he has just been let out of prison
Perfectly true
Well then how did you
That I was right. Will you go or should I send for the police
You may send for the whole Scotland Yard if you wish. My position here is perfectly legal. However it you want me to go I'll, all it means is to lose another job
I thought you see reason
It isn't reason, it is sentiment, now should I pack and leave
If you lose this job, what will you do
That I don't know
What do you got to do with it
You stay here
You must be mad
That's settled, so we won't talk about it any more
