1
00:01:24,210 --> 00:01:25,920
What's the matter, Mrs. James?

2
00:01:26,004 --> 00:01:29,632
You'd better have a good rest tonight.
It's these 12-hour shifts.

3
00:01:29,716 --> 00:01:31,759
I had some bad news this morning, miss.

4
00:01:31,843 --> 00:01:33,803
My Jim's missing.

5
00:01:33,886 --> 00:01:36,806
Oh, try not to worry.
I'm sure he'll turn up.

6
00:01:36,889 --> 00:01:38,808
Oh, I do hope so, miss.

7
00:01:38,891 --> 00:01:41,185
I expect I'll feel better
when I've had a cup of tea.

8
00:01:41,269 --> 00:01:44,188
That's right. It's finishing time now.

9
00:01:52,238 --> 00:01:54,866
<i>A million bullets
for dispatch by the morning?</i>

10
00:01:54,949 --> 00:01:57,910
<i>But, I tell you, the girls have done
ten hours today already.</i>

11
00:01:57,994 --> 00:01:59,662
<i>Yes, I realize how urgent it is.</i>

12
00:02:01,122 --> 00:02:03,583
<i>But you can't expect these girls to work
14 hours a stretch.</i>

13
00:02:05,126 --> 00:02:06,919
<i>All right, I'll ask them.</i>

14
00:02:07,003 --> 00:02:08,588
<i>She doesn't have to ask us.</i>

15
00:02:08,671 --> 00:02:11,090
<i>A million bullets by the morning.</i>

16
00:02:11,174 --> 00:02:13,343
<i>All right, come on, girls.
It's got to be done.</i>

17
00:02:30,068 --> 00:02:31,944
Stop. Stop there.
Stop the bus there.

18
00:02:32,028 --> 00:02:33,571
All right, can't go no further.

19
00:02:33,655 --> 00:02:34,906
Passengers for Bloomsbury,

20
00:02:34,989 --> 00:02:36,429
you're on foot from here.

21
00:02:52,507 --> 00:02:53,883
Thank you.

22
00:02:53,966 --> 00:02:55,468
- Mmm-hmm.
- This way, miss.

23
00:03:04,811 --> 00:03:08,690
"A million bullets by morning"?
No wonder the audience booed.

24
00:03:08,773 --> 00:03:10,733
- Or snored.
- We learn from our mistakes.

25
00:03:10,817 --> 00:03:13,903
I would have shot the writers,
not the picture.

26
00:03:13,986 --> 00:03:16,030
Authenticity, that's what we're after now.

27
00:03:16,114 --> 00:03:18,616
Authenticity informed by optimism.

28
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:22,412
You think I don't understand
to give an audience optimism?

29
00:03:22,495 --> 00:03:24,789
I have three grandsons in the forces.

30
00:03:24,872 --> 00:03:27,750
Your company reputation
is founded primarily on comedy.

31
00:03:27,834 --> 00:03:31,587
The highest-grossing British picture
of the year was a comedy. Mine.

32
00:03:31,671 --> 00:03:34,132
And Mr. Buckley here wrote it.

33
00:03:34,215 --> 00:03:36,092
Yes, and very entertaining it was, too,

34
00:03:36,175 --> 00:03:40,430
but if we are to capture the public
imagination and their trust,

35
00:03:40,513 --> 00:03:45,268
we need more than fat policemen
toppling off ladders.

36
00:03:45,351 --> 00:03:48,146
We need a story to inspire a nation.

37
00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:51,357
Give me a real brief, Mr. Swain,

38
00:03:51,441 --> 00:03:56,654
and I swear, I will bring you
a picture to win the war.

39
00:03:56,738 --> 00:03:59,657
Or at least one to cheer us up
if we carry on losing it.

40
00:03:59,741 --> 00:04:01,909
So, please, tell us what it is you want.

41
00:04:01,993 --> 00:04:05,621
You have your brief, Mr. Baker.
Authenticity and optimism.

42
00:04:12,044 --> 00:04:13,324
Right, so I'll look for a story.

43
00:04:13,379 --> 00:04:17,216
So sorry. Monstrous of us
to have kept you waiting.

44
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:20,094
Welcome to the Ministry
of Information Film Division.

45
00:04:20,178 --> 00:04:22,096
Roger Swain.
You must be Miss Cole.

46
00:04:22,180 --> 00:04:25,057
- Mrs.
- Ah, splendid. Please, take a seat.

47
00:04:26,476 --> 00:04:28,144
Husband in the forces?

48
00:04:28,227 --> 00:04:32,440
He volunteers as an air-raid warden,
but he wasn't fit for conscription.

49
00:04:32,523 --> 00:04:34,150
He fought in the war in Spain.

50
00:04:34,233 --> 00:04:36,319
Splendid, that's splendid.
Now, about the job.

51
00:04:36,402 --> 00:04:40,865
We need to cultivate a more convincing
female angle in our output.

52
00:04:40,948 --> 00:04:44,619
Mr. Buckley here has been appointed
to the department as a special adviser.

53
00:04:44,702 --> 00:04:46,996
Not special enough to get paid, obviously.

54
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:48,873
He seems to think you're what we need.

55
00:04:48,956 --> 00:04:52,668
I said "might be." She can't be worse
than those chaps you've got.

56
00:04:52,752 --> 00:04:56,255
- Did you write this?
- Mmm-hmm.

57
00:04:56,339 --> 00:04:58,549
It was wrapped around my chips.

58
00:04:58,633 --> 00:05:01,719
I was the secretary
at the copywriting department,

59
00:05:01,803 --> 00:05:04,430
but all the copywriters got called up.

60
00:05:04,514 --> 00:05:07,892
"So-Be-Fee. It ain't beef,
but it ain't bad,

61
00:05:07,975 --> 00:05:11,187
'cause sometimes you just have
to make do with what you've got."

62
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:12,647
Ah, splendid.

63
00:05:12,730 --> 00:05:14,524
Ministry wages start at three and ten.

64
00:05:14,607 --> 00:05:17,318
And obviously, we can't pay you
as much as the chaps,

65
00:05:17,401 --> 00:05:19,570
so shall we say £2 a week?

66
00:05:19,654 --> 00:05:21,405
Thank you.

67
00:05:21,489 --> 00:05:22,824
- You a cinemagoer?
- Yes.

68
00:05:22,907 --> 00:05:25,201
Then you'll be familiar
with informationals.

69
00:05:25,284 --> 00:05:27,954
We sandwich them between the support
and the main feature,

70
00:05:28,037 --> 00:05:30,498
so the public to be informed
don't have time to escape.

71
00:05:30,581 --> 00:05:32,458
<i>What to do in an air raid.</i>

72
00:05:32,542 --> 00:05:33,709
<i>Get under cover at once.</i>

73
00:05:36,963 --> 00:05:40,591
<i>Don't stand staring at the sky.
Take cover at once.</i>

74
00:05:42,927 --> 00:05:45,555
You'll find a page of script equates
to a minute of screen time

75
00:05:45,638 --> 00:05:47,682
or roughly 80 yards of celluloid,

76
00:05:47,765 --> 00:05:50,518
or it would if directors
didn't squander the film stock

77
00:05:50,601 --> 00:05:52,770
as if it were lavatory paper.

78
00:05:52,854 --> 00:05:56,816
Speaking of which,
ladies' is last door on the left.

79
00:05:56,899 --> 00:05:59,485
I wouldn't risk the other facilities
if I were you.

80
00:06:00,695 --> 00:06:03,406
I thought it was a secretarial post.

81
00:06:03,489 --> 00:06:05,324
Oh, for God's sake, keep that to yourself.

82
00:06:17,753 --> 00:06:21,173
What did they say,
the War Artists Committee?

83
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:27,597
They find my interpretations
altogether too brutal and dispiriting.

84
00:06:35,104 --> 00:06:37,190
<i>I saw April today.</i>

85
00:06:37,273 --> 00:06:39,317
She and Tony have made up
ever such a clever code,

86
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,361
so he can write to her
about what he's doing.

87
00:06:41,444 --> 00:06:44,948
"The village green,"
that means "England."

88
00:06:45,031 --> 00:06:47,408
"Onion soup" is "France."

89
00:06:47,492 --> 00:06:49,035
There's a word for "regiment,"

90
00:06:49,118 --> 00:06:52,246
and one for "troop train."

91
00:06:52,330 --> 00:06:54,207
Do you really have
to smoke that thing?

92
00:06:54,290 --> 00:06:56,417
- Couldn't you just mime?
- I can mime smoking.

93
00:06:56,501 --> 00:06:58,252
I can't mime smoke.

94
00:06:58,336 --> 00:06:59,396
That's a cut.

95
00:06:59,420 --> 00:07:01,589
I wonder, would it be possible
to have some knitting?

96
00:07:01,673 --> 00:07:04,860
My hands are aching for something to do,
and it seems so right for the character.

97
00:07:04,884 --> 00:07:06,886
- Props!
- Yeah, I'll try and find some knitting.

98
00:07:06,970 --> 00:07:08,179
Walter, a word.

99
00:07:08,262 --> 00:07:10,532
I fully understand the national
importance of what we're shooting,

100
00:07:10,556 --> 00:07:13,393
and obviously there's no question
of diluting the message.

101
00:07:13,476 --> 00:07:15,019
I just...

102
00:07:15,103 --> 00:07:18,106
Wonder if it mightn't pack
a little more punch

103
00:07:18,189 --> 00:07:21,025
if Mr. Brown were
to <i>express</i> a little more.

104
00:07:21,109 --> 00:07:23,778
For example, at the mention
of the clever code,

105
00:07:23,861 --> 00:07:26,572
I might say, "Well, that'll be
the first clever thing

106
00:07:26,656 --> 00:07:28,032
April's ever done in her life."

107
00:07:30,076 --> 00:07:32,203
Do you see?
So, just a... Just a...

108
00:07:32,286 --> 00:07:35,415
Just a dash of humor.
And then further along...

109
00:07:35,498 --> 00:07:36,791
- Excuse me.
- Hello.

110
00:07:36,874 --> 00:07:38,251
- Hello.
- Oh, certainly.

111
00:07:40,837 --> 00:07:42,296
Oh, no, no, no.

112
00:07:42,380 --> 00:07:45,049
It's just that the caption
at the end's going to be,

113
00:07:45,133 --> 00:07:48,302
"He's not listening,
but the enemy might be."

114
00:07:48,386 --> 00:07:51,764
It's a joke for women who think
their husbands never pay attention.

115
00:07:51,848 --> 00:07:55,268
So if you start answering her,
well, the caption won't make sense.

116
00:07:57,815 --> 00:07:59,734
You're so much better
than all the rest of them.

117
00:07:59,817 --> 00:08:03,154
All the rest of them manage
to put food on the table.

118
00:08:12,830 --> 00:08:14,874
Ellis, I had a meeting today...

119
00:08:16,167 --> 00:08:18,044
about a new job.

120
00:08:19,712 --> 00:08:24,675
They offered it to me.
£2 a week.

121
00:08:26,844 --> 00:08:29,055
You know, Perry wants you
to model for him.

122
00:08:30,765 --> 00:08:34,185
I told him only I'm allowed to paint you.

123
00:08:34,268 --> 00:08:36,479
You only ever put me in
for the perspective.

124
00:08:36,562 --> 00:08:39,940
No, I put you in
because I want you there.

125
00:08:44,904 --> 00:08:48,074
Right. I have to get
to the warden's post.

126
00:08:52,369 --> 00:08:54,246
It's a writing job.

127
00:08:55,706 --> 00:08:57,166
Well done, Catrin.

128
00:09:00,419 --> 00:09:03,547
When there's a raid, I want you to go down
to the tube station.

129
00:09:05,758 --> 00:09:08,677
I didn't bring you all the way from Wales
to see you hit by a bomb.

130
00:09:11,063 --> 00:09:13,357
And you went to Dunkirk?

131
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,694
We meant to, but the engine stopped
five miles out.

132
00:09:17,778 --> 00:09:21,114
Broken bearing.
We never got there.

133
00:09:21,198 --> 00:09:24,868
But in the paper, it said
you brought home troops.

134
00:09:24,952 --> 00:09:27,663
This steam tug on its way back
gave us a tow.

135
00:09:27,746 --> 00:09:31,416
There were soldiers spilling over
the rails, so we pulled some on the Nancy.

136
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:34,962
Someone seen us docking
and put it in the paper.

137
00:09:36,797 --> 00:09:39,007
They got the wrong end
of the stick, didn't they?

138
00:09:39,091 --> 00:09:41,134
Dad said he'd be a laughingstock,

139
00:09:41,218 --> 00:09:44,846
said we mustn't tell the papers.

140
00:09:44,930 --> 00:09:48,684
But you ain't the papers.
You're the pictures.

141
00:09:48,767 --> 00:09:50,769
Can I ask the lady something?

142
00:09:52,229 --> 00:09:54,189
- Can Lily ask you something?
- Yes.

143
00:09:54,272 --> 00:09:57,901
Have you ever met Robert Donat?
The famous actor?

144
00:09:57,985 --> 00:10:00,404
No, no. No, I haven't, I'm afraid.

145
00:10:02,239 --> 00:10:03,448
Dad!

146
00:10:05,993 --> 00:10:08,662
Come quick.
Would you like to see the kitchen?

147
00:10:08,745 --> 00:10:10,122
It's not him.

148
00:10:11,415 --> 00:10:13,166
It's all right, Lil.

149
00:10:13,250 --> 00:10:15,335
He don't like strangers, see?

150
00:10:15,419 --> 00:10:17,546
He don't like a lot of things.

151
00:10:23,802 --> 00:10:26,638
And you took his boat without asking?

152
00:10:28,713 --> 00:10:30,631
So what do you think?
A day at the seaside.

153
00:10:30,715 --> 00:10:32,875
And you never know, if there's
a film at the end of it,

154
00:10:32,925 --> 00:10:34,927
there might be a better job in it for you.

155
00:10:35,010 --> 00:10:36,512
We'll need someone to write the slop.

156
00:10:36,595 --> 00:10:38,556
- Slop?
- Girl talk.

157
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:41,016
Women's dialogue.
"Woof, woof."

158
00:10:50,234 --> 00:10:53,237
Hello. I've come to see
Rose and Lily Starling.

159
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,824
We're not to talk to the papers.
We're not to let no one in.

160
00:10:56,907 --> 00:10:58,284
I'm not from the papers.

161
00:10:58,367 --> 00:11:00,244
I'm from the Ministry of Information.

162
00:11:00,327 --> 00:11:02,580
The Film Division.

163
00:11:03,831 --> 00:11:04,999
Film?

164
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,640
I wrote it. The scenario.

165
00:11:13,724 --> 00:11:17,478
I'll be in my dressing room,
if anyone needs me.

166
00:11:20,606 --> 00:11:23,567
Ahem.
Everybody take ten.

167
00:11:23,650 --> 00:11:25,194
Save the lights.

168
00:11:26,695 --> 00:11:29,823
Banished from the set.
What in God's name possessed you?

169
00:11:29,907 --> 00:11:31,450
The actor was
ruining the script.

170
00:11:31,533 --> 00:11:33,160
Course he was. He's an actor.

171
00:11:33,243 --> 00:11:35,245
What's this? Penance?

172
00:11:35,329 --> 00:11:39,416
<i>- Hello, Mabel. How's baby?
- He's coming along splendidly.</i>

173
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:42,669
<i>With more free time,
I should like to do some war work.</i>

174
00:11:42,753 --> 00:11:45,214
<i>I simply don't know what to do.</i>

175
00:11:45,297 --> 00:11:47,341
<i>Are you good with your hands?</i>

176
00:11:47,424 --> 00:11:49,635
<i>I think so, yes.</i>

177
00:11:49,718 --> 00:11:52,012
<i>Have you thought about factory work?</i>

178
00:11:53,889 --> 00:11:56,475
And the version
without the lines, please.

179
00:11:56,558 --> 00:11:59,019
They want to re-use
the footage for carrots.

180
00:11:59,102 --> 00:12:03,148
<i>- Hello, Mabel. How's baby?
- He's coming along splendidly.</i>

181
00:12:03,232 --> 00:12:05,359
An appetite like his father.

182
00:12:05,442 --> 00:12:06,902
He's eating us out of the house.

183
00:12:06,985 --> 00:12:09,530
<i>I simply don't know what to do.</i>

184
00:12:09,613 --> 00:12:12,157
<i>- Are you good...
- in the garden?</i>

185
00:12:12,241 --> 00:12:14,076
<i>I think so, yes.</i>

186
00:12:14,159 --> 00:12:15,953
<i>- Have you thought about...
- carrots?</i>

187
00:12:18,413 --> 00:12:20,290
Right, I'll get that recorded.

188
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,713
- Thank you.
- How's it been, anyway?

189
00:12:26,797 --> 00:12:29,132
Boys in Scenarios
made you feel welcome?

190
00:12:29,216 --> 00:12:30,968
They can't see the point of me.

191
00:12:31,051 --> 00:12:32,427
"If there's a dog in the script,

192
00:12:32,511 --> 00:12:35,681
we don't employ a Jack Russell
to write 'woof-woof, ' do we?"

193
00:12:35,764 --> 00:12:39,268
Just been reading your work.
None of them could do better.

194
00:12:39,351 --> 00:12:41,895
Would you care for some lunch?

195
00:12:41,979 --> 00:12:44,523
Now, don't look so chapel.
It's official business.

196
00:12:44,606 --> 00:12:47,067
I've, uh, got a proposal for you.

197
00:12:53,156 --> 00:12:55,492
When I'm not busy
special advising,

198
00:12:55,576 --> 00:12:58,328
I work for a man called Gabriel Baker.

199
00:12:58,412 --> 00:13:00,747
Remember him?
The Hungarian.

200
00:13:00,831 --> 00:13:02,291
He's a producer.

201
00:13:02,374 --> 00:13:05,836
Desperate to make a film
that will make a difference.

202
00:13:07,504 --> 00:13:09,923
- Hello, Tom.
- Thelma.

203
00:13:10,007 --> 00:13:11,550
Sorry. Excuse me.

204
00:13:14,428 --> 00:13:18,265
Dunkirk. The evacuation of troops trapped
by the German advance.

205
00:13:18,348 --> 00:13:21,393
Seven hundred fishing boats
and the Royal Navy

206
00:13:21,476 --> 00:13:23,061
on a mission to bring our boys home.

207
00:13:24,479 --> 00:13:27,274
Twin sisters took their father's
cockle boat over to join the rescue,

208
00:13:27,357 --> 00:13:28,917
came back with a deck full of soldiers.

209
00:13:28,942 --> 00:13:32,237
- It's everything the Ministry are after.
- Authenticity and optimism.

210
00:13:32,321 --> 00:13:36,199
Contradiction in terms, if you ask me,
but this could be a bloody good story.

211
00:13:36,283 --> 00:13:37,385
Before they'll give it the go-ahead,

212
00:13:37,409 --> 00:13:39,995
they want someone to go down
there to talk to the girls.

213
00:13:40,078 --> 00:13:41,204
Me?

214
00:13:41,288 --> 00:13:43,790
Unless your artist would object.

215
00:13:48,378 --> 00:13:50,631
So, how did you meet?

216
00:13:50,714 --> 00:13:52,442
He came to Ebbw Vale
to paint the steelworks.

217
00:13:52,466 --> 00:13:54,384
Ah, he's one of those artists.

218
00:13:54,468 --> 00:13:55,886
- Older than you?
- Yes.

219
00:13:55,969 --> 00:13:56,970
- Fifty?
- No.

220
00:13:57,054 --> 00:13:59,389
Sixty? Oh, I bet he's a toff.

221
00:13:59,473 --> 00:14:00,992
No one else can afford to be an artist.

222
00:14:01,016 --> 00:14:02,768
Actually, his family disinherited him.

223
00:14:02,851 --> 00:14:04,571
- Because of you?
- Because of his politics.

224
00:14:06,854 --> 00:14:08,355
Weren't you scared?

225
00:14:08,439 --> 00:14:10,482
One of the soldiers had this kit bag,

226
00:14:10,566 --> 00:14:13,319
and suddenly it woofed,
and it give us such a fright.

227
00:14:13,402 --> 00:14:14,528
It was a dog.

228
00:14:16,113 --> 00:14:18,908
And one of them Frenchies
tried to kiss Lil.

229
00:14:20,910 --> 00:14:23,662
No, I meant scared
of what your dad might do.

230
00:14:23,746 --> 00:14:26,457
No. He got himself a bottle.

231
00:14:26,540 --> 00:14:28,667
We thought we'd be back
before he woke up.

232
00:14:28,751 --> 00:14:31,086
Besides, Eric was in Dunkirk.

233
00:14:31,170 --> 00:14:34,215
- Eric?
- Dad's first mate.

234
00:14:34,298 --> 00:14:37,801
He got us photographs for our birthday.

235
00:14:39,929 --> 00:14:41,263
We've got the same birthday.

236
00:14:42,525 --> 00:14:45,486
Robert Donat in The <i>39</i> Steps...

237
00:14:46,487 --> 00:14:50,158
<i>and John Clements
'M The Four Feathers.</i>

238
00:14:50,241 --> 00:14:51,993
Have you ever met John Clements?

239
00:14:52,076 --> 00:14:54,912
No, I haven't.

240
00:14:54,996 --> 00:14:58,124
Those ones are Mum's.
We don't know who he is.

241
00:15:02,253 --> 00:15:05,715
- Well, I did meet...
- Is it going to be a film?

242
00:15:07,550 --> 00:15:08,926
Probably not.

243
00:15:10,887 --> 00:15:13,389
Stupid bloody engine, eh?

244
00:15:16,059 --> 00:15:19,270
- What harm can one little drink do?
- My dad will throttle me if I'm late.

245
00:15:19,353 --> 00:15:21,022
Well, how about a kiss, then?

246
00:15:21,105 --> 00:15:22,231
- No, thank you.
- Come on!

247
00:15:22,315 --> 00:15:23,733
I could be back in action tomorrow.

248
00:15:23,816 --> 00:15:25,902
Shelterers to the left hand side.

249
00:15:25,985 --> 00:15:29,280
Bona fide passengers, come on!

250
00:15:29,363 --> 00:15:32,283
Bona fide passengers, to the right.

251
00:17:18,055 --> 00:17:19,640
Catrin?

252
00:17:22,059 --> 00:17:24,061
I got caught in the raid.

253
00:17:30,026 --> 00:17:32,445
I ended up in the Baker Street shelter.

254
00:17:32,528 --> 00:17:35,156
I didn't know where you were.
I didn't know if you were safe.

255
00:17:35,239 --> 00:17:36,908
I never know if you're safe.

256
00:17:36,991 --> 00:17:38,284
God, look at you.

257
00:17:38,367 --> 00:17:40,536
I'll be all right after a cup of tea.

258
00:17:40,620 --> 00:17:44,040
The raid ruptured the mains.

259
00:17:44,123 --> 00:17:46,083
Now, Catrin, I...

260
00:17:48,211 --> 00:17:50,379
I want you to go back to Ebbw Vale.

261
00:17:50,463 --> 00:17:52,882
Ellis...

262
00:17:52,965 --> 00:17:56,719
It's the biggest steelworks in Europe.

263
00:17:56,802 --> 00:17:59,388
I'm more likely to get bombed
there than here.

264
00:17:59,472 --> 00:18:00,890
It's not just the bombing.

265
00:18:02,558 --> 00:18:05,019
I can't afford for us to live here
anymore.

266
00:18:06,812 --> 00:18:08,606
I can't afford for us to live anywhere.

267
00:18:08,689 --> 00:18:10,483
- But I earn.
- If I were on my own,

268
00:18:10,566 --> 00:18:12,610
I could doss down in Perry's studio.

269
00:18:12,693 --> 00:18:14,362
I could keep painting.

270
00:18:14,445 --> 00:18:17,073
But you don't have to keep me. I earn.

271
00:18:17,156 --> 00:18:19,742
Your wage assumes a husband who
can put a roof over your head.

272
00:18:19,825 --> 00:18:22,425
Please don't turn me into one
of those things that make it harder.

273
00:18:24,205 --> 00:18:27,250
Mr. Cole?
It's Alf, from downstairs.

274
00:18:27,333 --> 00:18:31,337
I'm not the war, I'm not the committee.
I'm what makes it better.

275
00:18:31,420 --> 00:18:34,715
- Mrs. Cole.
- Hello, Alf.

276
00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:36,259
Heavy Rescue.

277
00:18:36,342 --> 00:18:38,195
They wanna know how many in the cellar
at number 12.

278
00:18:38,219 --> 00:18:39,303
All right.

279
00:19:16,632 --> 00:19:19,302
<i>When the twins got to Dunkirk,</i>

280
00:19:19,385 --> 00:19:22,513
they did what every other small boat did,

281
00:19:22,596 --> 00:19:24,307
ferried troops off the beach

282
00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:27,435
and out to the big ships
waiting in the deeper water.

283
00:19:28,894 --> 00:19:34,233
There was shelling and strafing,
but they honestly didn't talk about that.

284
00:19:34,317 --> 00:19:39,697
What really seems to have stuck
with them are the details,

285
00:19:39,780 --> 00:19:42,533
the little authentic details.

286
00:19:44,577 --> 00:19:47,913
The soldier with a dog in his kit bag.

287
00:19:47,997 --> 00:19:51,292
Uh, the Frenchman
that tried to kiss Lily.

288
00:19:51,375 --> 00:19:55,087
I wish I could make you understand
how awfully brave they were.

289
00:19:55,171 --> 00:19:59,425
Their father's a bully,
I think, and a bit of a drunk.

290
00:19:59,508 --> 00:20:01,344
They're terrified of him,

291
00:20:01,427 --> 00:20:04,305
but they took his boat anyway,
the Nancy.

292
00:20:04,388 --> 00:20:07,016
<i>- "The Nancy"?
- The Nancy Starling.</i>

293
00:20:07,099 --> 00:20:09,935
- After their mother.
- The nail on the head.

294
00:20:10,019 --> 00:20:11,520
Mmm?

295
00:20:13,147 --> 00:20:14,440
On the head.

296
00:20:16,108 --> 00:20:21,072
Authenticity, optimism, and a dog.

297
00:20:25,618 --> 00:20:28,454
I imagine call-up's left
quite a hole in your ranks,

298
00:20:28,537 --> 00:20:32,750
so, in the interest of a quick turnaround,
we'll let you have some of our people.

299
00:20:32,833 --> 00:20:35,336
Mrs. Cole, Miss Moore.

300
00:20:35,419 --> 00:20:37,088
- Mmm-hmm?
- Yes.

301
00:20:38,381 --> 00:20:40,341
Be good to get this into the cinemas

302
00:20:40,424 --> 00:20:42,551
while there are still
a few of them standing.

303
00:20:42,635 --> 00:20:43,761
Mmm-hmm.

304
00:20:43,844 --> 00:20:46,389
Well done. Well done.

305
00:20:46,472 --> 00:20:47,640
Yeah.

306
00:20:47,723 --> 00:20:51,060
- Do I have the job?
- Well, why not?

307
00:20:51,143 --> 00:20:53,270
Twins, after all.
Double the slop.

308
00:20:53,354 --> 00:20:55,523
Temporary secondment
to Baker Productions.

309
00:20:55,606 --> 00:20:57,191
No screen credit.
Ministry wages.

310
00:20:57,274 --> 00:20:59,527
- I need more.
- I could throw in a desk.

311
00:20:59,610 --> 00:21:01,612
I need more than Ministry wages.

312
00:21:03,197 --> 00:21:05,116
I'll talk to Baker.

313
00:21:08,327 --> 00:21:10,496
Leslie Banks
is virtually my age,

314
00:21:10,579 --> 00:21:12,915
and he's still staggering
around the studios,

315
00:21:12,998 --> 00:21:15,584
giving his unhinged all
as young love gone bad...

316
00:21:15,668 --> 00:21:17,837
Oh, no, no, no, Cerberus.
Too much glass.

317
00:21:20,965 --> 00:21:24,593
You know, if you paid your clients half
as much attention as you do that hyena,

318
00:21:24,677 --> 00:21:26,196
you might actually be
an agent worth having.

319
00:21:26,220 --> 00:21:28,848
Spitfires.
Won't you help to buy...

320
00:21:28,931 --> 00:21:32,601
<i>Ambrose Hilliard.
The Man with the Glint.</i>

321
00:21:32,685 --> 00:21:35,813
Oh, I know it's a liberty, but would you
do him for me? Would you?

322
00:21:35,896 --> 00:21:37,356
Inspector Charnforth?

323
00:21:39,108 --> 00:21:40,693
"Someone has made a mistake.

324
00:21:40,776 --> 00:21:42,336
It's a simple mistake and easy to miss.

325
00:21:42,403 --> 00:21:44,321
I almost did so myself."

326
00:21:44,405 --> 00:21:46,198
Oh!

327
00:21:47,533 --> 00:21:49,160
Oh, um...

328
00:21:49,243 --> 00:21:52,288
- Spitfires, Sammy.
- In the pocket. The pocket.

329
00:21:52,371 --> 00:21:53,998
Ah.

330
00:21:54,081 --> 00:21:56,250
- Thank you.
- There.

331
00:21:56,333 --> 00:22:02,173
When... uh, when can we expect to see you
back on the screen, Mr. Hilliard?

332
00:22:02,256 --> 00:22:03,924
When indeed?

333
00:22:04,925 --> 00:22:07,678
Well, apparently Baker Films
have a Dunkirk script in the works.

334
00:22:07,761 --> 00:22:08,762
Mmm?

335
00:22:33,162 --> 00:22:35,039
Apparently, you'll be in here.

336
00:22:44,465 --> 00:22:45,925
They want a title.

337
00:22:46,008 --> 00:22:47,843
We haven't started bloody writing it yet.

338
00:22:47,927 --> 00:22:49,237
And they're asking about locations.

339
00:22:49,261 --> 00:22:50,721
Want me to start casting it, too?

340
00:22:50,804 --> 00:22:53,682
- Don't tempt me.
- A boat, a beach, twins.

341
00:22:53,766 --> 00:22:55,768
- That's all you're getting.
- Try Devon.

342
00:22:55,851 --> 00:22:59,271
Or Dunkirk. You can go
and scout it personally.

343
00:23:02,983 --> 00:23:05,194
Her, seconded here to spy on us.

344
00:23:05,277 --> 00:23:07,404
You tell her nothing, understand?

345
00:23:07,488 --> 00:23:10,866
We'll have every government department
and his wife sticking their oar in.

346
00:23:10,950 --> 00:23:13,202
Desk. Parfitt, you've met.

347
00:23:13,285 --> 00:23:15,871
Writing partner.
Delighted to have you on board.

348
00:23:42,439 --> 00:23:44,108
Report.

349
00:23:46,193 --> 00:23:47,486
So, what do you think?

350
00:23:47,570 --> 00:23:49,488
Uh, the father leaves a bad taste.

351
00:23:49,572 --> 00:23:51,824
Drunken sailor angle's good, though.

352
00:23:51,907 --> 00:23:54,702
Make him an uncle.
Uncle Frank.

353
00:23:54,785 --> 00:23:56,120
- Yeah.
- Soused in the hold.

354
00:23:56,203 --> 00:23:57,454
Wakes up in Dunkirk.

355
00:23:57,538 --> 00:23:59,290
Double-take
when he sees the Stukas.

356
00:23:59,373 --> 00:24:01,667
Gives us our laughs,
then takes a bullet in act three.

357
00:24:01,750 --> 00:24:04,420
- Comic life, tragic death.
- Tears all round.

358
00:24:04,503 --> 00:24:08,674
Yeah. First mate, bloke in France,
needs to be a boyfriend.

359
00:24:08,757 --> 00:24:11,093
- Rose or Lily's?
- Either.

360
00:24:11,176 --> 00:24:13,470
Both? What are they like?

361
00:24:13,554 --> 00:24:17,016
Shy, quiet. Lily hardly spoke.

362
00:24:17,099 --> 00:24:19,643
- One quiet, one chatty.
- They're both quiet.

363
00:24:19,727 --> 00:24:22,479
- Not if we want any dialogue.
- How old are they?

364
00:24:22,563 --> 00:24:24,565
- Thirty?
- Ah, marvelous.

365
00:24:24,648 --> 00:24:27,318
<i>Working title, Old Maids of Margate.</i>

366
00:24:27,401 --> 00:24:28,986
It's Southend.

367
00:24:29,069 --> 00:24:32,698
Twenty-one, Lily sweet, Rose spunky.
Rose gets the boyfriend.

368
00:24:32,781 --> 00:24:34,783
"My darling, I couldn't die

369
00:24:34,867 --> 00:24:38,037
without seeing the cornflower blue
of your eyes a final time."

370
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:40,247
You can have that one on me.

371
00:24:40,331 --> 00:24:42,750
What's his name, the boyfriend?

372
00:24:42,833 --> 00:24:44,335
Eric. Eric Lumb.

373
00:24:44,418 --> 00:24:45,711
Do you hear that noise?

374
00:24:45,794 --> 00:24:47,504
That's 200 women in the one and nines

375
00:24:47,588 --> 00:24:51,759
vowing aloud never to call their sons
anything as bloody feeble as Eric.

376
00:24:51,842 --> 00:24:54,011
- Now give me a hero's name.
- John.

377
00:24:54,094 --> 00:24:55,429
- Dull.
- Johnnie.

378
00:24:56,430 --> 00:24:58,557
- Mmm-hmm.
- He'll have to make it back.

379
00:24:58,641 --> 00:25:02,478
- Injured.
- A risk. A rescue.

380
00:25:02,561 --> 00:25:04,581
"Don't be a fool, Johnnie.
There's a sniper out there!"

381
00:25:04,605 --> 00:25:06,815
- Yep. Mm...
- Saves his commanding officer.

382
00:25:06,899 --> 00:25:08,579
Fellow soldier?

383
00:25:08,651 --> 00:25:10,444
Saves the dog.

384
00:25:10,527 --> 00:25:13,656
But he didn't.
In real life, he didn't.

385
00:25:13,739 --> 00:25:15,449
Film, Mrs. Cole.

386
00:25:15,532 --> 00:25:18,494
Real life with the boring bits cut out.

387
00:25:18,577 --> 00:25:21,288
Don't confuse facts with truth
and, for Christ's sake,

388
00:25:21,372 --> 00:25:23,791
don't let either of them
get in the way of the story.

389
00:25:23,874 --> 00:25:28,128
Now we know how it starts.
Johnnie in France.

390
00:25:28,212 --> 00:25:29,963
- We know how it ends.
- Home safe.

391
00:25:30,047 --> 00:25:31,924
And we know that
somewhere in between

392
00:25:32,007 --> 00:25:35,552
we have dog, Dunkirk,

393
00:25:35,636 --> 00:25:38,347
engine failure, and uncle's death.

394
00:25:39,598 --> 00:25:42,685
Now all we have to do is fill in the gaps.

395
00:26:07,918 --> 00:26:09,169
I'm buying it.

396
00:26:11,547 --> 00:26:12,881
Down payment.

397
00:26:15,801 --> 00:26:20,347
Call it rent, call it what you like,
but I am not leaving London.

398
00:26:40,451 --> 00:26:42,619
- Hmm!
- Sorry. Bad night.

399
00:26:42,703 --> 00:26:46,790
Buckley, Parfitt, meeting now.
Ministry of War Transport.

400
00:26:46,874 --> 00:26:49,752
Seems they've had wind of
your proposed filmic scenario.

401
00:26:49,835 --> 00:26:53,589
Apparently, they're concerned
that "the Nancy Starling's engine failure

402
00:26:53,672 --> 00:26:58,927
may cast morale-sapping doubt
on the quality of British engineering."

403
00:27:05,851 --> 00:27:08,771
It was her.
Bloody Ministry spy.

404
00:27:11,774 --> 00:27:16,028
What if it's not the engine?
What if it's the propeller?

405
00:27:16,111 --> 00:27:17,571
It gets snarled up with flotsam,

406
00:27:17,654 --> 00:27:20,282
Uncle Frank goes in the water
to free it, gets shot,

407
00:27:20,365 --> 00:27:22,701
and the girls have to finish
the job under fire.

408
00:27:22,785 --> 00:27:23,970
- Not the girls.
- Not the girls?

409
00:27:23,994 --> 00:27:26,079
- No. Uh, Johnnie.
- Johnnie?

410
00:27:26,163 --> 00:27:28,248
- Is there an echo in here?
- Why him?

411
00:27:28,332 --> 00:27:30,417
- Because he's the hero.
- So?

412
00:27:30,501 --> 00:27:33,021
Well, how do we know he's the hero
if he never does anything heroic?

413
00:27:33,045 --> 00:27:34,085
Well, he's called Johnnie.

414
00:27:34,129 --> 00:27:35,815
Are you trying to pick
a fight with me, Mrs. Cole?

415
00:27:35,839 --> 00:27:39,218
Johnnie can't go in the water.
He's injured, badly injured.

416
00:27:39,301 --> 00:27:41,720
A manly slash on the bicep,
for Christ's sake.

417
00:27:41,804 --> 00:27:44,348
He's not gonna be leaking spleen
through his trousers.

418
00:27:46,141 --> 00:27:49,353
This is Rose and Lily's story,
and you won't let them do anything.

419
00:27:49,436 --> 00:27:51,980
- They go to Dunkirk.
- And Johnnie pilots them home.

420
00:27:52,064 --> 00:27:54,107
They're girls. Girls don't
want to be the hero.

421
00:27:54,191 --> 00:27:56,127
They want to have the hero.
They want to be had by him.

422
00:27:56,151 --> 00:27:57,486
- Tom, cab.
- Oh!

423
00:27:57,569 --> 00:27:59,780
And if that ginger viper
so much as gets her nose

424
00:27:59,863 --> 00:28:01,925
through the office door
while we're out, you're sacked.

425
00:28:01,949 --> 00:28:05,327
And don't think I won't know.
I can smell her shaving cream on the wind.

426
00:28:06,787 --> 00:28:08,831
Anything else?

427
00:28:08,914 --> 00:28:11,625
Since you're so keen to flex
your femininity, you can tidy up!

428
00:28:27,683 --> 00:28:29,184
I heard furniture.

429
00:28:35,607 --> 00:28:37,818
<i>"Angels of the Sea.
Across the Waves.</i>

430
00:28:37,901 --> 00:28:40,362
<i>Two to Dunkirk.
Three to Dunkirk.</i>

431
00:28:40,445 --> 00:28:43,949
<i>Dunkirk or Bust.
Busts to Dunkirk."</i>

432
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,204
Somewhere in the world there is
a bullet with that man's name on.

433
00:28:49,288 --> 00:28:50,873
Why hasn't he been called up?

434
00:28:50,956 --> 00:28:53,709
I mean, Parfitt's too old, but Buckley...

435
00:28:53,792 --> 00:28:55,085
Baker persuaded someone

436
00:28:55,168 --> 00:28:58,130
that Buckley was more use
to the war effort with a typewriter.

437
00:28:59,590 --> 00:29:01,717
It won't last.

438
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,960
He'll end up in uniform,
like every other mother's son.

439
00:29:05,345 --> 00:29:07,556
That is, if he ever had a mother.

440
00:29:07,639 --> 00:29:10,392
More likely, Parfitt found him in a pub,

441
00:29:10,475 --> 00:29:13,228
spawning spontaneously
in the sawdust.

442
00:29:14,438 --> 00:29:16,732
You know,
a lot of men are scared

443
00:29:16,815 --> 00:29:19,735
we won't go back into our boxes
when this is all over.

444
00:29:21,153 --> 00:29:23,030
It makes them belligerent.

445
00:29:41,423 --> 00:29:43,550
Something's changed.

446
00:29:43,634 --> 00:29:46,970
I tidied.
What happened at the meeting?

447
00:29:47,054 --> 00:29:50,849
I outlined our proposed changes.
They accepted them.

448
00:30:02,194 --> 00:30:04,863
- What's this?
- Lunch.

449
00:30:06,365 --> 00:30:08,700
The girls can pilot
the boat home, all right?

450
00:30:10,035 --> 00:30:11,453
They can pilot the bloody boat.

451
00:30:11,536 --> 00:30:13,622
They can lead the damn fleet,
for all I care.

452
00:30:13,705 --> 00:30:15,582
But Johnnie frees the propeller.

453
00:30:20,671 --> 00:30:21,713
Hmm.

454
00:30:47,072 --> 00:30:49,950
You're late. I took
the liberty of ordering.

455
00:30:50,033 --> 00:30:54,204
Sorry. We have guests staying,
friends from Poland.

456
00:30:54,287 --> 00:30:56,456
Things are very bad in Europe.

457
00:30:56,540 --> 00:30:58,660
It's not exactly a picnic here,
if you hadn't noticed.

458
00:30:59,418 --> 00:31:02,921
You can't find a decent waiter in SoHo
since Italy joined the war.

459
00:31:03,005 --> 00:31:06,008
They were all rounded up as so-called
enemies of the state,

460
00:31:06,091 --> 00:31:10,721
apart from Geppetto over there,
who almost certainly <i>is</i> a spy.

461
00:31:12,973 --> 00:31:14,599
Cerberus!

462
00:31:18,478 --> 00:31:20,063
<i>'</i> " Ugh!

463
00:31:20,147 --> 00:31:21,982
Christ, a dead sheep?

464
00:31:22,065 --> 00:31:24,359
- Ugh.
- Not strictly ration book,

465
00:31:24,443 --> 00:31:26,778
but Cerberus can't live
on crusts and scraps.

466
00:31:26,862 --> 00:31:28,113
Ugh...

467
00:31:28,196 --> 00:31:30,782
Sophie's going to boil it up
and make him some broth.

468
00:31:30,866 --> 00:31:32,868
Lucky fellow.

469
00:31:34,453 --> 00:31:37,748
Well, perhaps your sister would
like to start feeding me, too,

470
00:31:37,831 --> 00:31:40,584
unless, of course, you've actually
found me some work.

471
00:31:40,667 --> 00:31:43,837
So, Baker's outline for the Dunkirk film,
you read it?

472
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,840
It rattles along rather better
than one might have expected.

473
00:31:46,923 --> 00:31:51,094
Johnnie's escape from the steel thrust
of the German war machine.

474
00:31:51,178 --> 00:31:53,805
The rescue of the dog was very good.

475
00:31:56,266 --> 00:31:58,101
Here, boy. Here.

476
00:32:00,479 --> 00:32:03,523
No, no. No, not you, Cerberus.

477
00:32:03,607 --> 00:32:06,568
Of course, it all depends on who
they're planning to cast as Rose.

478
00:32:16,286 --> 00:32:17,662
Uncle Frank?

479
00:32:19,498 --> 00:32:23,668
"A shipwreck of a man"? Sammy!

480
00:32:24,878 --> 00:32:27,631
"Sixties. Looks older"?

481
00:32:27,714 --> 00:32:30,008
Senior roles are not
to be sneered at, Ambrose.

482
00:32:30,092 --> 00:32:34,054
- Gravitas. Experience. Maturity.
- Ugh.

483
00:32:34,137 --> 00:32:35,531
We all have a part to play
in defeating Hitler.

484
00:32:35,555 --> 00:32:38,809
Not this part. It's a corpse role.
He's dead before the end of act three.

485
00:32:40,268 --> 00:32:41,645
Mr. Smith.

486
00:32:41,728 --> 00:32:43,939
- Mmm-mmm.
- Mr. Hilliard.

487
00:32:46,525 --> 00:32:48,151
Ambrose, you must see...

488
00:32:48,235 --> 00:32:51,113
You, me, the industry, we are all
at the service of the war now.

489
00:32:51,196 --> 00:32:54,741
The war. The war.

490
00:32:54,825 --> 00:32:57,285
Damn the bloody war!

491
00:32:57,369 --> 00:33:02,082
The war has skimmed off the cream,
and we're left with the rancid curds!

492
00:33:11,883 --> 00:33:14,594
I'm sorry I took so long.

493
00:33:14,678 --> 00:33:17,472
There was a bomb crater
on the Marylebone Road. Oh!

494
00:33:17,556 --> 00:33:19,307
No one told me there was a meeting.

495
00:33:19,391 --> 00:33:22,978
No, we've been rather trying to keep this
under wraps for the present.

496
00:33:23,061 --> 00:33:27,524
It seems that there's a someone
in Mr. Swain's department

497
00:33:27,607 --> 00:33:32,154
who knows a someone who says that
the Starling sisters never got to Dunkirk.

498
00:33:33,155 --> 00:33:38,326
That their engine broke down before
they were even out of British waters.

499
00:33:40,704 --> 00:33:43,707
Pity. Pity all round, really.

500
00:33:43,790 --> 00:33:45,917
Your first draft boded so well.

501
00:33:49,129 --> 00:33:52,716
- Well...
- So the Starling sisters lied?

502
00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:54,676
What difference does it really make?

503
00:33:54,759 --> 00:33:57,470
For God's sake, of course it makes
a difference. It's not the truth.

504
00:33:57,554 --> 00:34:00,640
The truth is, they stole a boat
from a man who terrified them

505
00:34:00,724 --> 00:34:04,769
and set out to cross 5O miles
of open sea into a war.

506
00:34:04,853 --> 00:34:08,064
- They never got there.
- Because their engine failed.

507
00:34:08,148 --> 00:34:11,776
Now, there's a truth we won't be telling.
Morale-sapping, apparently.

508
00:34:13,278 --> 00:34:15,780
We pick our truths.
Isn't that the point?

509
00:34:15,864 --> 00:34:18,783
We're saying this is based
on a true story.

510
00:34:18,867 --> 00:34:20,118
Then don't.

511
00:34:20,202 --> 00:34:23,622
Oh, Christ above, man, you're supposed
to be the propagandist!

512
00:34:23,705 --> 00:34:29,836
700 ships went to Dunkirk.
338,000 men came back.

513
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,588
Don't say it's based on a true story.

514
00:34:31,671 --> 00:34:33,673
Say it's based on 100 true stories.

515
00:34:33,757 --> 00:34:37,010
- A thousand.
- 338,000.

516
00:34:39,387 --> 00:34:41,973
Dunkirk, the biggest retreat
in military history,

517
00:34:42,057 --> 00:34:45,977
or the miracle that put the fire back
in all our bellies?

518
00:34:47,938 --> 00:34:51,524
Very well, carry on as you were.
I have a car waiting.

519
00:34:59,449 --> 00:35:02,911
You won't regret it.
Thank you, Mr. Swain.

520
00:35:20,845 --> 00:35:22,055
Buckley!

521
00:35:23,682 --> 00:35:24,891
Buckley!

522
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,313
Sit. Sit.

523
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,902
I don't care that you lied.

524
00:35:35,986 --> 00:35:38,154
I care that you lied to us.

525
00:35:38,238 --> 00:35:40,573
There wasn't enough money.

526
00:35:40,657 --> 00:35:42,242
Ellis wanted me to go back to Wales.

527
00:35:42,325 --> 00:35:44,828
And you what, you couldn't bear
to miss the Blitz?

528
00:35:44,911 --> 00:35:46,705
I'm sorry.

529
00:35:46,788 --> 00:35:49,416
Well, at least Parfitt will be relieved.

530
00:35:51,084 --> 00:35:54,170
His wife, Mary, she's an invalid.

531
00:35:54,254 --> 00:35:59,384
He pays for a nurse in the day, but then
he has to sit with her himself at night.

532
00:35:59,467 --> 00:36:01,803
When I told him you wanted
more than Ministry wages,

533
00:36:01,886 --> 00:36:05,348
he was worried you'd found yourself
in a similar position,

534
00:36:05,432 --> 00:36:08,310
what with your husband's Spanish War
wound and all.

535
00:36:09,978 --> 00:36:11,146
Should I...

536
00:36:14,816 --> 00:36:17,027
Do you want me to come in tomorrow?

537
00:36:17,110 --> 00:36:18,987
And how would that help, losing you?

538
00:36:20,238 --> 00:36:23,450
Who the bloody hell else do you think's
gonna be writing the slop?

539
00:36:25,660 --> 00:36:27,829
The work's good, Mrs. Cole.

540
00:36:30,206 --> 00:36:32,083
You're doing a good job.

541
00:36:44,429 --> 00:36:45,555
Hello, Catrin.

542
00:36:49,017 --> 00:36:50,518
- Hello.
- Hello.

543
00:36:57,650 --> 00:36:58,735
Ellis?

544
00:37:03,406 --> 00:37:05,992
I just saw Perry and Conroy.
You had friends over?

545
00:37:09,537 --> 00:37:10,872
I got a letter.

546
00:37:10,955 --> 00:37:14,292
A commission to document
bomb damage in the provinces,

547
00:37:14,376 --> 00:37:17,420
and an exhibition in London
straight after.

548
00:37:17,504 --> 00:37:20,715
The National Gallery.

549
00:37:20,799 --> 00:37:22,133
Oh, Ellis.

550
00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:32,185
Will there be Sunday trains,
do you think?

551
00:37:32,268 --> 00:37:35,063
Only I'll need to get back
to London on Monday mornings.

552
00:37:38,358 --> 00:37:41,111
- What are you talking about?
- Coming to see you.

553
00:37:41,194 --> 00:37:42,434
Well, you'll be <i>with</i> me, silly.

554
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,448
Yes, of course.

555
00:37:46,699 --> 00:37:48,576
After the script is finished.

556
00:37:51,538 --> 00:37:54,541
Well, you can get out of that now, surely.

557
00:37:54,624 --> 00:37:56,543
But I don't want to get out of it.

558
00:37:57,961 --> 00:38:00,338
I don't want to let them down.

559
00:38:01,678 --> 00:38:03,430
His office.

560
00:38:03,514 --> 00:38:06,725
Last night, he was working late.
It was bombed.

561
00:38:08,102 --> 00:38:10,187
They have asked me to identify him.

562
00:38:12,106 --> 00:38:13,607
I am unable.

563
00:38:48,902 --> 00:38:50,695
Mr. Hilliard?

564
00:38:52,030 --> 00:38:53,573
Mr. Hilliard?

565
00:38:54,658 --> 00:38:58,119
I'm afraid, my dear,
someone has made a mistake.

566
00:38:58,203 --> 00:38:59,830
I almost did so myself.

567
00:38:59,913 --> 00:39:05,794
You see, Sammy Smith has two fingers
missing from his left hand.

568
00:39:05,877 --> 00:39:08,463
I'm sorry, we try very hard to...

569
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,425
to make a whole person.

570
00:39:12,509 --> 00:39:14,553
For the relatives.

571
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,528
No, of course not.

572
00:39:19,612 --> 00:39:23,574
Well, I leave on Monday, and I'll be back
in London for the exhibition.

573
00:39:23,657 --> 00:39:26,160
I suppose it's not so very far off.

574
00:39:26,243 --> 00:39:29,205
No, it's not so very far off.

575
00:39:30,206 --> 00:39:32,333
And I'll come and visit as often as I can.

576
00:39:36,796 --> 00:39:38,130
Right, then.

577
00:39:47,681 --> 00:39:51,102
Veal's off. I've ordered
cutlets Milanese...

578
00:39:52,728 --> 00:39:56,148
and semolina... pudding.

579
00:39:56,232 --> 00:39:59,360
You are Mr. Ambrose Hilliard?

580
00:39:59,443 --> 00:40:00,820
Yes.

581
00:40:02,238 --> 00:40:05,866
I'm Sophie Smith, Sammy's sister.

582
00:40:05,950 --> 00:40:07,368
Ah.

583
00:40:16,598 --> 00:40:17,641
Oh!

584
00:40:17,724 --> 00:40:21,061
Is it him?
Is it your friend?

585
00:40:24,272 --> 00:40:25,565
MY agent.

586
00:40:27,067 --> 00:40:28,235
Yes.

587
00:40:29,361 --> 00:40:30,696
That's him.

588
00:40:34,282 --> 00:40:36,159
You can stay with us, if you like.

589
00:40:38,453 --> 00:40:42,040
It's very peaceful.
I'm sure we can make room.

590
00:41:20,871 --> 00:41:22,456
Thank you.

591
00:42:51,795 --> 00:42:53,797
Happy New Year, Mr. Hilliard.

592
00:42:56,299 --> 00:42:59,803
Sammy liked the veal, I believe.
Do you also recommend it?

593
00:42:59,886 --> 00:43:05,183
It's not veal in the pre-war sense.

594
00:43:05,267 --> 00:43:07,310
Oh.

595
00:43:09,020 --> 00:43:10,438
Um, now that Sam...

596
00:43:14,860 --> 00:43:16,403
Now that my brother has gone,

597
00:43:16,486 --> 00:43:20,031
I must find something
with which to occupy myself.

598
00:43:20,115 --> 00:43:23,493
I have responsibilities, dependents.

599
00:43:23,577 --> 00:43:26,496
I have decided therefore
to continue with the agency.

600
00:43:29,374 --> 00:43:35,130
I understand Sammy discussed
with you Baker's Dunkirk film,

601
00:43:35,213 --> 00:43:38,300
- the role of the inebriated uncle.
- No.

602
00:43:42,178 --> 00:43:47,475
You know, after conversations
like this with my brother, I would say,

603
00:43:47,559 --> 00:43:50,687
"What have you got to lose
by being honest, Sammy?

604
00:43:50,770 --> 00:43:55,191
Explain to the man he is 63, not 36.

605
00:43:55,275 --> 00:43:58,653
And that his brief moment
of fame as Inspector Charnfort..."

606
00:43:58,737 --> 00:44:00,947
Charnforth!
Inspector Charnforth!

607
00:44:01,031 --> 00:44:02,908
Please be calm, Mr. Hilliard.

608
00:44:02,991 --> 00:44:05,869
I am perfectly calm.

609
00:44:05,952 --> 00:44:10,457
What you are seeing is controlled anger
tempered with icy detachment.

610
00:44:10,540 --> 00:44:14,920
It's one of the many subtle emotions
of which a good actor is capable.

611
00:44:15,003 --> 00:44:18,465
Three weeks on location in Devon,

612
00:44:18,548 --> 00:44:20,717
followed by three in a London studio.

613
00:44:22,844 --> 00:44:27,515
There are currently only nine films
in pre-production in British studios.

614
00:44:27,599 --> 00:44:30,185
None of the others holds a role for you.

615
00:44:30,268 --> 00:44:35,273
I hope I share some of my brother's
qualities, Mr. Ambrose.

616
00:44:35,357 --> 00:44:39,110
I do not, however, share
his sentimental attachments.

617
00:44:39,194 --> 00:44:42,739
I will not keep unprofitable clients
on the books.

618
00:44:42,822 --> 00:44:45,283
Veal, twice, please.

619
00:44:46,618 --> 00:44:48,787
Oh, and semolina pudding?

620
00:44:49,913 --> 00:44:51,706
Excellent choice.

621
00:45:26,241 --> 00:45:27,909
Too long. Lose half.

622
00:45:27,993 --> 00:45:30,120
- Which half?
- The half you don't need.

623
00:45:30,203 --> 00:45:32,163
What's the matter?

624
00:45:32,247 --> 00:45:34,040
You look like
you haven't slept in a month.

625
00:45:34,124 --> 00:45:35,834
I'm all right.

626
00:45:35,917 --> 00:45:37,728
I just found it easier
when it was every night.

627
00:45:37,752 --> 00:45:39,379
At least you knew what was coming.

628
00:45:39,462 --> 00:45:41,965
Well, never having known the joys
of married love myself...

629
00:45:42,048 --> 00:45:44,634
- The bombing.
- Ah.

630
00:45:44,718 --> 00:45:49,264
I thought perhaps too many long treks
to see the husband in the provinces.

631
00:45:50,348 --> 00:45:52,308
Not really.

632
00:45:52,392 --> 00:45:56,104
It's difficult, you know? The trains.

633
00:46:12,537 --> 00:46:13,872
All right, then

634
00:46:13,955 --> 00:46:16,166
What's that?

635
00:46:16,249 --> 00:46:18,918
- It's France, Uncle Frank.
- Oh.

636
00:46:21,588 --> 00:46:23,256
Oh!

637
00:46:24,549 --> 00:46:26,634
It's Hitler!

638
00:46:28,094 --> 00:46:31,097
- Bloody what?
- Meeting now with Mr. Swain.

639
00:46:31,181 --> 00:46:34,059
Rot. We're about to issue this
as a shooting script.

640
00:46:34,142 --> 00:46:35,560
- They want all of you.
- Oh, no.

641
00:46:35,643 --> 00:46:37,854
Oh, don't worry.
All that's dead and buried.

642
00:46:37,937 --> 00:46:40,023
No, this'll be some rear admiral
in a lather

643
00:46:40,106 --> 00:46:42,418
because we've got the wind speed wrong
for the day in question.

644
00:46:42,442 --> 00:46:45,236
Oh, and did I mention?
It's at Whitehall.

645
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:46,613
The Ministry of War.

646
00:46:49,032 --> 00:46:53,203
"We few, we happy few,

647
00:46:53,286 --> 00:46:55,705
we band of brothers.

648
00:46:55,789 --> 00:46:59,918
For he today who sheds his blood
with me shall be my brother.

649
00:47:00,001 --> 00:47:02,670
And gentlemen in England now abed

650
00:47:02,754 --> 00:47:05,965
shall think themselves
accursed they were not here,

651
00:47:06,049 --> 00:47:08,426
and hold their manhood cheap

652
00:47:08,510 --> 00:47:14,808
whilst any speak who fought with us
upon Saint Crispin's Day."

653
00:47:18,895 --> 00:47:22,065
The power of the dramatic arts.

654
00:47:30,824 --> 00:47:32,617
Ah...

655
00:47:32,700 --> 00:47:34,160
America.

656
00:47:34,244 --> 00:47:40,542
Firmly against any military involvement
in a war they see as Europe's business.

657
00:47:40,625 --> 00:47:42,961
I'm sure I need not tell you

658
00:47:43,044 --> 00:47:46,297
how many people attend the cinema
every week in this country.

659
00:47:48,424 --> 00:47:50,802
- Thirty...
- Thirty million.

660
00:47:50,885 --> 00:47:53,888
And in America
that figure is closer to 90.

661
00:47:53,972 --> 00:47:58,351
Mr. Churchill is persuaded that film,

662
00:47:58,434 --> 00:48:00,520
in particular your film,

663
00:48:00,603 --> 00:48:05,567
presents us with a unique opportunity
to put our case to the American people.

664
00:48:05,650 --> 00:48:07,735
They fear that we are already beaten.

665
00:48:07,819 --> 00:48:09,904
You show that we fight on.

666
00:48:11,573 --> 00:48:16,786
They believe this country to be dominated
by an upper-class elite.

667
00:48:16,870 --> 00:48:21,249
You present a vision of Britain

668
00:48:21,332 --> 00:48:24,002
in which ordinary working people
are the heroes.

669
00:48:25,587 --> 00:48:27,172
But most crucially of all,

670
00:48:27,255 --> 00:48:33,928
your film concerns itself directly
with the feminine experience,

671
00:48:34,012 --> 00:48:36,598
to show your American sisters

672
00:48:36,681 --> 00:48:41,019
that this is a war their sons
and husbands and brothers

673
00:48:41,102 --> 00:48:43,479
should be fighting.

674
00:48:43,563 --> 00:48:48,067
Of course, if we want America to listen,
we must give them someone to listen to,

675
00:48:48,151 --> 00:48:51,654
a character with whom
they can really identify.

676
00:48:51,738 --> 00:48:55,241
- You want us to put an American in it?
- Exactly so.

677
00:48:55,325 --> 00:48:58,661
Ideally, of course, one would cast
a star with British connections,

678
00:48:58,745 --> 00:49:00,830
a Cary Grant or an Errol Flynn,

679
00:49:00,914 --> 00:49:05,376
but the war will not wait on the
convenience of a Hollywood schedule.

680
00:49:05,460 --> 00:49:10,048
Besides, we rather think
we've done one better.

681
00:49:14,010 --> 00:49:16,304
Carl Lundbeck.

682
00:49:16,387 --> 00:49:19,349
<i>American boy,
Norwegian forefathers.</i>

683
00:49:19,432 --> 00:49:23,102
<i>Before the war, he flew crop dusters
on his parents' farm in Michigan.</i>

684
00:49:25,855 --> 00:49:27,857
<i>When Germany invaded Norway,</i>

685
00:49:27,941 --> 00:49:30,610
<i>Carl made his way to England
to join the RAF...</i>

686
00:49:35,156 --> 00:49:38,409
<i>where he's made himself
very much at home.</i>

687
00:49:41,454 --> 00:49:42,789
<i>Salmon aren't the only creatures</i>

688
00:49:42,872 --> 00:49:45,208
<i>who should stay out of Flight Lieutenant
Lundbeck's way.</i>

689
00:49:45,291 --> 00:49:48,753
<i>So far he's shot down 24 German planes,</i>

690
00:49:48,836 --> 00:49:51,714
<i>for which Britain gives her gratitude.</i>

691
00:49:54,092 --> 00:49:56,135
A genuine hero.

692
00:49:58,054 --> 00:50:02,976
An inspiration to all other Americans,
and, as I believe you chaps say,

693
00:50:03,059 --> 00:50:04,894
- the camera loves him.
- Yeah.

694
00:50:06,396 --> 00:50:08,856
Even more if he was in Technicolor.

695
00:50:10,191 --> 00:50:14,862
Color? I think we can manage that.

696
00:50:14,946 --> 00:50:17,532
But there weren't
any Americans at Dunkirk.

697
00:50:17,615 --> 00:50:19,075
Pedant

698
00:50:19,158 --> 00:50:21,786
Pack your bags, Mrs. Cole.
You're coming to Devon.

699
00:50:30,253 --> 00:50:32,547
<i>♪ Pretty copper kettle,
pretty copper kettle ♪</i>

700
00:50:32,630 --> 00:50:35,091
<i>♪ Bright copper kettle,
bright copper kettle ♪</i>

701
00:50:35,174 --> 00:50:37,135
<i>♪ I've got to get a kettle
I've got to get... ♪</i>

702
00:50:37,218 --> 00:50:39,554
<i>♪ I've got to get a kettle,
I've got to get a kettle ♪</i>

703
00:50:39,637 --> 00:50:42,140
<i>♪ Pretty copper kettle... ♪</i>

704
00:50:42,223 --> 00:50:43,558
I'm nearly finished.

705
00:50:43,641 --> 00:50:46,019
No, you're completely finished.

706
00:50:46,102 --> 00:50:49,814
If I hear the fucking word "kettle"
one more fucking time,

707
00:50:49,897 --> 00:50:53,234
I'm gonna find one
and shove it up your arse.

708
00:50:53,318 --> 00:50:55,987
- Sideways.
- Mm...

709
00:51:03,703 --> 00:51:04,912
Sorry.

710
00:51:13,254 --> 00:51:15,357
I think some Fuller's earth
through your hair and grease.

711
00:51:15,381 --> 00:51:16,382
God. Fuller's earth?

712
00:51:16,466 --> 00:51:18,946
But I would like to make your eyebrows
really unruly, you know,

713
00:51:19,010 --> 00:51:20,946
so that they're sticking out
in different directions.

714
00:51:20,970 --> 00:51:23,681
- Different directions? What, you...
- And then...

715
00:51:23,765 --> 00:51:28,394
I'd rather have four honest words
than 50 pages of bilge.

716
00:51:28,478 --> 00:51:31,564
- Now, you play Rose...
- No, I play Rose.

717
00:51:31,647 --> 00:51:33,066
And <i>I</i> play Lily-

718
00:51:33,149 --> 00:51:37,070
This script is the best thing I have read
in a month of Sundays.

719
00:51:37,153 --> 00:51:38,529
- Don't you think?
- Well...

720
00:51:38,613 --> 00:51:40,948
- Wyndham Best. I play Johnnie.
- Johnnie?

721
00:51:41,032 --> 00:51:42,533
- The soldier.
- Ah.

722
00:51:42,617 --> 00:51:45,328
Or the hero, if you will.

723
00:51:45,411 --> 00:51:47,455
A documentary
about the Clydeside dockers.

724
00:51:47,538 --> 00:51:48,915
Right. Who have we got here?

725
00:51:48,998 --> 00:51:52,126
Ah, Alex, mind if I join you?

726
00:51:52,210 --> 00:51:54,629
Documentary makers and authenticity.

727
00:51:54,712 --> 00:51:56,923
The rancid curds.

728
00:51:58,174 --> 00:52:00,510
Buckley, just hide me, hide me.

729
00:52:03,596 --> 00:52:04,889
What?

730
00:52:04,972 --> 00:52:07,850
Uncle Frank. Mr. Hilliard.

731
00:52:07,934 --> 00:52:11,104
- You knew he was gonna be here.
- Yes, but <i>I</i> didn't expect to be.

732
00:52:11,187 --> 00:52:14,023
Is she all right?

733
00:52:14,107 --> 00:52:17,235
Avoiding Hilliard.
Unfortunate experience.

734
00:52:17,318 --> 00:52:20,071
- Carnal?
- What? No.

735
00:52:20,154 --> 00:52:22,949
Oh, that? Oh, I shouldn't
worry about that.

736
00:52:23,032 --> 00:52:24,784
He's an actor.

737
00:52:24,867 --> 00:52:29,122
Unless you review them, have intercourse
with them, or do both simultaneously,

738
00:52:29,205 --> 00:52:31,082
they don't remember you.

739
00:52:31,165 --> 00:52:32,834
Uh, ladies and gentlemen,

740
00:52:32,917 --> 00:52:36,129
it is my privilege
to introduce you now

741
00:52:36,212 --> 00:52:40,425
to a young man to whom
we all owe a great deal.

742
00:52:40,508 --> 00:52:45,304
Soon we hand him back to the RAF
for a very different kind of shooting.

743
00:52:45,388 --> 00:52:49,058
Until then,
he is our very own American.

744
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,479
Mr. Carl Lundbeck.

745
00:52:53,563 --> 00:52:56,232
- Hi. Hello.
- Alex Frayle, director.

746
00:52:56,315 --> 00:52:58,860
Hi. Good to meet you.

747
00:52:58,943 --> 00:53:00,945
Wyndham Best. How do you do?
I'm playing Johnnie.

748
00:53:01,028 --> 00:53:02,655
Carl Lundbeck, Flight Lieutenant.

749
00:53:05,032 --> 00:53:06,325
- Hi.
- Hello.

750
00:53:07,827 --> 00:53:09,787
- Mr. Hilliard.
- If I've got the right...

751
00:53:09,871 --> 00:53:11,747
Mr. Ambrose Hilliard.

752
00:53:11,831 --> 00:53:13,291
Yes.

753
00:53:13,374 --> 00:53:17,336
Sir, I saw every Inspector Charnforth
picture there ever was.

754
00:53:17,420 --> 00:53:19,547
Just used to go right back
and watch them again.

755
00:53:19,630 --> 00:53:20,756
Oh!

756
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,093
"You see, someone has
made a mistake."

757
00:53:24,177 --> 00:53:25,803
"A simple mistake, but easy to miss."

758
00:53:27,305 --> 00:53:29,307
Yes! Oh!

759
00:53:31,058 --> 00:53:32,310
Sir, I need to wire my mom.

760
00:53:35,104 --> 00:53:36,424
There's our secret weapon.

761
00:53:36,481 --> 00:53:41,319
Now you write him in.
No excuses and no bar bills.

762
00:53:41,402 --> 00:53:44,489
- God bless America.
- God bless America.

763
00:53:46,365 --> 00:53:49,702
- Well, he's very handsome.
- Oh, come on!

764
00:53:51,370 --> 00:53:54,040
So, what's an American doing in Dunkirk?

765
00:53:54,123 --> 00:53:55,374
No, scrub that.

766
00:53:55,458 --> 00:53:56,959
- What isn't he doing?
- Fighting.

767
00:53:57,043 --> 00:54:00,379
- Yeah, so what does that make him?
- A priest?

768
00:54:00,463 --> 00:54:02,757
- No, we need a hero.
- I don't know...

769
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:06,093
- Travel writer? Journalist?
- A journalist.

770
00:54:06,177 --> 00:54:11,516
Hard-boiled, wise-cracking Yankee hack
who can pilot a boat heroically.

771
00:54:11,599 --> 00:54:13,851
You're not pinching any more action
from Rose and Lily.

772
00:54:13,935 --> 00:54:16,437
I'm not unpicking
the entire bloody structure either.

773
00:54:16,521 --> 00:54:18,898
Will somebody give them
a hand over there, please?

774
00:54:18,981 --> 00:54:20,399
All the way up.

775
00:54:20,483 --> 00:54:23,861
Of course, the irony is,

776
00:54:23,945 --> 00:54:26,822
they've given this to a bloody
documentaries director.

777
00:54:26,906 --> 00:54:28,300
He won't want any dialogue, anyway.

778
00:54:28,324 --> 00:54:31,327
It will all be fishing nets
and local kids playing football, you wait.

779
00:54:31,410 --> 00:54:34,830
What if it's not what the American does
that makes him heroic,

780
00:54:34,914 --> 00:54:36,958
it's what he doesn't do?

781
00:54:37,041 --> 00:54:38,543
He falls for Rose,

782
00:54:38,626 --> 00:54:40,604
but he doesn't try to come
between her and Johnnie.

783
00:54:40,628 --> 00:54:42,380
Self-sacrifice, that's noble.

784
00:54:42,463 --> 00:54:45,675
- Only if he stands a chance.
- Maybe he does.

785
00:54:45,758 --> 00:54:50,304
Maybe she likes him, because he's the sort
that'd let her fix the propeller.

786
00:54:53,599 --> 00:54:55,601
So give him a name, our journalist.

787
00:54:55,685 --> 00:54:57,061
Joe.

788
00:54:57,144 --> 00:54:58,896
Hard-boiled types only have last names.

789
00:54:58,980 --> 00:55:00,773
- Buckley.
- Taken.

790
00:55:02,483 --> 00:55:04,610
And what were you
before you became Cole?

791
00:55:04,694 --> 00:55:06,028
Catherine Pugh.

792
00:55:08,072 --> 00:55:11,534
- Catherine?
- Catrin's the Welsh version.

793
00:55:11,617 --> 00:55:15,955
It was his idea. "A beautiful Welsh girl
deserves a beautiful Welsh name."

794
00:55:16,038 --> 00:55:17,540
Where would you have drawn the line?

795
00:55:17,623 --> 00:55:19,542
"Cardiff Cole.

796
00:55:19,625 --> 00:55:22,503
Caerphilly Cole.
Coalmine Cole."

797
00:55:25,339 --> 00:55:26,340
<i>'</i> - Hey!

798
00:55:27,633 --> 00:55:28,968
Those were my chips!

799
00:55:29,051 --> 00:55:31,387
Right, Catherine Pugh,
you're coming with me.

800
00:55:32,888 --> 00:55:34,140
All right.

801
00:55:55,411 --> 00:55:58,956
Brannigan, Johnnie, positions.

802
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,500
- No. Uh, no, thank you.
- Let... Let me.

803
00:56:01,584 --> 00:56:04,754
Quiet, please.
Quiet, please, everyone.

804
00:56:04,837 --> 00:56:05,838
Thank you.

805
00:56:12,511 --> 00:56:15,097
I'll give you a finger click
for a sniper shot.

806
00:56:15,181 --> 00:56:17,433
Just a very quiet click, please.

807
00:56:17,516 --> 00:56:20,269
It's hard to explain to a non-actor,

808
00:56:20,353 --> 00:56:23,606
but I want to react
to the sniper up there

809
00:56:23,689 --> 00:56:26,150
and not the click down here.
Do you see?

810
00:56:26,233 --> 00:56:29,320
In fact, there's no chance of firing
a real gun up there, is there?

811
00:56:29,403 --> 00:56:31,697
- No.
- Right.

812
00:56:31,781 --> 00:56:33,741
Going for a take. Sound?

813
00:56:33,824 --> 00:56:35,451
Sound rolling.

814
00:56:35,534 --> 00:56:37,703
Speed.

815
00:56:37,787 --> 00:56:41,457
Dunkirk film, scene 17, take one.

816
00:56:41,540 --> 00:56:43,167
Good luck, Lieutenant Lundbeck.

817
00:56:46,462 --> 00:56:47,713
Action!

818
00:56:47,797 --> 00:56:50,424
Here, boy.

819
00:56:50,508 --> 00:56:52,176
Here.

820
00:56:52,259 --> 00:56:54,470
Come on, boy.

821
00:56:57,223 --> 00:56:59,433
Don't be a fool, Johnnie.
There's a sniper out there.

822
00:56:59,517 --> 00:57:02,436
And he's got a friend.
It's a Karabiner 98 Kurz.

823
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,280
Best damn gun since the Win...

824
00:57:04,313 --> 00:57:05,523
Chester 73.

825
00:57:09,276 --> 00:57:12,738
I'm most awfully sorry.
I'm afraid I've lost my line.

826
00:57:12,822 --> 00:57:14,782
Cut.

827
00:57:16,033 --> 00:57:18,494
Jesus.

828
00:57:18,577 --> 00:57:20,996
Twenty-three takes.

829
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,125
We only stopped because
we ran out of film stock.

830
00:57:24,208 --> 00:57:26,419
The War Office wanted him.
The distributors wanted him.

831
00:57:26,502 --> 00:57:29,213
And no one thought to give him
a bloody screen test?

832
00:57:30,548 --> 00:57:32,758
Well, can't we replace him?

833
00:57:32,842 --> 00:57:34,403
This film has a significant part to play

834
00:57:34,427 --> 00:57:36,321
in putting the national case
to the American public.

835
00:57:36,345 --> 00:57:38,639
- He's the template.
- If that lump of Yank stays,

836
00:57:38,723 --> 00:57:40,933
the film fails
and the national case with it.

837
00:57:41,016 --> 00:57:44,103
He is a brave boy.

838
00:57:44,186 --> 00:57:46,272
Would you or I be so brave?

839
00:58:12,177 --> 00:58:14,513
He was a soldier, my dad,
in the last one.

840
00:58:17,766 --> 00:58:20,894
The thing about men who get
sent away to war, Mrs. Cole,

841
00:58:20,977 --> 00:58:24,731
is that some of them
don't come back at all,

842
00:58:24,815 --> 00:58:27,109
some come back as heroes...

843
00:58:29,611 --> 00:58:32,489
and some of them come back
drunk, squalid bullies.

844
00:58:32,572 --> 00:58:34,658
I was better off out of his way.

845
00:58:34,741 --> 00:58:38,453
- In the pub.
- Or the pictures.

846
00:58:40,622 --> 00:58:42,499
I liked the pictures best.

847
00:58:45,877 --> 00:58:49,840
Once in a while you just need
to make one that's worth it,

848
00:58:49,923 --> 00:58:53,885
worth the hour and a half of someone's
life it's gonna cost them to see it.

849
00:58:55,933 --> 00:58:59,353
Why do you think people like films?

850
00:58:59,437 --> 00:59:02,356
It's because stories are structure.

851
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:05,985
They're a shape, a purpose, a meaning.

852
00:59:08,070 --> 00:59:11,699
And when things turn bad, it's still
part of a plan, you know, it's...

853
00:59:11,782 --> 00:59:13,159
There's a point to it.

854
00:59:14,744 --> 00:59:17,496
Unlike life.

855
00:59:17,580 --> 00:59:19,874
You don't believe in much, do you?

856
00:59:19,957 --> 00:59:22,293
I believed this was gonna be
a good picture.

857
00:59:24,045 --> 00:59:28,007
How did you get to do this?
Writing, I mean.

858
00:59:28,090 --> 00:59:30,009
Parfitt.

859
00:59:30,092 --> 00:59:32,678
He was making comedies for Baker.

860
00:59:32,762 --> 00:59:34,482
I used to collect gags
I heard in the street

861
00:59:34,555 --> 00:59:37,141
and sell them to him
in the pub, penny a time.

862
00:59:37,224 --> 00:59:38,934
Phyl thinks that
you were born in the pub.

863
00:59:39,018 --> 00:59:41,395
I certainly spent
enough time in them as a kid.

864
01:00:01,309 --> 01:00:03,811
Is Mr. Baker all right?

865
01:00:03,895 --> 01:00:06,814
- He lost one of his grandsons.
- Oh...

866
01:00:06,898 --> 01:00:11,194
- Hit by a tram on shore leave.
- Oh!

867
01:00:11,277 --> 01:00:14,906
It must make it so much worse
that it wasn't for anything.

868
01:00:14,989 --> 01:00:17,992
- Poor Mr. Baker.
- It's never for anything.

869
01:00:23,188 --> 01:00:25,565
I really thought this one would be.

870
01:00:28,568 --> 01:00:29,569
The bloody Yanks.

871
01:00:29,653 --> 01:00:32,656
It would be all right if all you had to do
was look at him.

872
01:00:41,831 --> 01:00:46,920
We strip Lundbeck's dialogue
down to essentials and use a VOICEOVER.

873
01:00:47,003 --> 01:00:50,632
"I wasn't there
at the beginning of the story,

874
01:00:50,715 --> 01:00:55,220
but it all began in a little fishing
village in England."

875
01:00:55,303 --> 01:00:57,931
Yes, yes. inarticulacy, authenticity.

876
01:00:58,014 --> 01:01:01,768
- He still can't act.
- No, no, he really can't.

877
01:01:01,851 --> 01:01:05,480
But Hilliard can, so we get
Hilliard to coach him,

878
01:01:05,563 --> 01:01:08,233
some sort of on-the-spot dumb show,

879
01:01:08,316 --> 01:01:09,919
so the Yank knows
what he's meant to be doing.

880
01:01:09,943 --> 01:01:13,905
Gentlemen, I fear there has been
some sort of misapprehension.

881
01:01:13,988 --> 01:01:17,701
I am an actor,
a somewhat derided calling,

882
01:01:17,784 --> 01:01:19,703
but mine nonetheless.

883
01:01:19,786 --> 01:01:22,539
Perhaps because we are engaged
in an imitation of life,

884
01:01:22,622 --> 01:01:26,960
there is a common misconception
that anything living can do what we do.

885
01:01:27,043 --> 01:01:28,878
You have found that not to be so,

886
01:01:28,962 --> 01:01:33,007
for which I offer my, urn,
sincerest commiserations.

887
01:01:33,091 --> 01:01:36,886
But I am an actor.

888
01:01:36,970 --> 01:01:39,514
I know only my art.

889
01:01:39,597 --> 01:01:43,852
Of teaching, of coaching, of dumb show,

890
01:01:43,935 --> 01:01:45,979
of these things,
I'm afraid I know nothing.

891
01:01:47,105 --> 01:01:50,525
I'm so sorry to disappoint.

892
01:01:52,527 --> 01:01:55,905
Mr. Hilliard, you're right.

893
01:01:55,989 --> 01:01:58,491
You're right.
Everything you just said.

894
01:01:58,575 --> 01:02:03,163
It's about respect for the art
and for the artists.

895
01:02:03,246 --> 01:02:06,791
And it makes me think
how wrong we've been,

896
01:02:06,875 --> 01:02:08,460
playing Uncle Frank for laughs.

897
01:02:08,543 --> 01:02:11,171
Yes, he's a drunkard and a clown,

898
01:02:11,254 --> 01:02:15,091
but he's also all those people
who gave their sons to one war

899
01:02:15,175 --> 01:02:17,761
and now their grandsons to another.

900
01:02:18,762 --> 01:02:21,306
If we served that truth,

901
01:02:21,389 --> 01:02:25,935
if we gave you an Uncle Frank
really worth your time and your talent,

902
01:02:26,019 --> 01:02:30,023
I wonder if you would consider
putting that same time and talent

903
01:02:30,106 --> 01:02:34,110
towards helping Mr. Lundbeck
and the picture?

904
01:02:38,531 --> 01:02:40,575
Mmm.

905
01:02:40,658 --> 01:02:43,244
I don't think we've been
properly introduced.

906
01:02:45,121 --> 01:02:48,917
I'm Catrin Cole.
I'm one of the writers.

907
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:53,755
Catrin, between us,
we'll have them weeping in the aisles.

908
01:02:58,092 --> 01:03:01,095
I need to let Ellis know
that I won't be there for his opening.

909
01:03:01,179 --> 01:03:05,308
I'll arrange a telegram.
The least we can do.

910
01:03:08,102 --> 01:03:10,021
Time and talent was good.

911
01:03:11,397 --> 01:03:14,359
Did you think of it beforehand?

912
01:03:14,442 --> 01:03:17,487
His exhibition
only lasts two weeks.

913
01:03:19,322 --> 01:03:21,783
We'll have you back in London
before it closes.

914
01:03:28,790 --> 01:03:30,375
Damn!

915
01:03:33,586 --> 01:03:35,588
- Here!
- Cheers.

916
01:03:39,634 --> 01:03:41,010
<i>Johnnie Lumb.</i>

917
01:03:41,094 --> 01:03:42,428
Kent, England. You?

918
01:03:42,512 --> 01:03:46,015
Brannigan. Made in America
and not for export.

919
01:03:46,099 --> 01:03:48,476
- So what are you doing here?
- Trying to get back.

920
01:03:52,438 --> 01:03:53,648
The propeller's snarled.

921
01:03:53,731 --> 01:03:58,027
If I can just cut it free...

922
01:03:58,111 --> 01:04:00,655
Hurry, Uncle Frank.

923
01:04:06,119 --> 01:04:08,288
Oh!

924
01:04:10,665 --> 01:04:11,833
Hey! Hey, there!

925
01:04:19,674 --> 01:04:21,718
Uncle Frank?

926
01:04:21,801 --> 01:04:25,722
I Dr... I dro... I Dr...
I dropped the knife.

927
01:04:31,269 --> 01:04:34,898
William... Archie...

928
01:04:34,981 --> 01:04:38,568
My... My boys.

929
01:04:40,737 --> 01:04:45,533
<i>Boys, such an age you've been gone.</i>

930
01:04:47,243 --> 01:04:50,830
Why didn't you send word
you were still in France?

931
01:04:50,914 --> 01:04:53,917
I could... I could
have fetched you home.

932
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:57,795
I could... I could have
carried you both...

933
01:04:59,213 --> 01:05:00,924
home.

934
01:05:06,429 --> 01:05:08,514
You're mustard these days,
aren't you?

935
01:05:14,228 --> 01:05:17,065
- Night, Buckley.
- Night, Mrs. Cole.

936
01:05:19,525 --> 01:05:22,195
<i>- Pretty copper kettle.
- Such an age since...</i>

937
01:05:22,278 --> 01:05:25,448
- Bright copper kettle.
- Been such an age since...

938
01:05:25,531 --> 01:05:27,241
Pretty copper kettle,
bright copper kettle.

939
01:05:29,953 --> 01:05:33,081
There it is.
Dunkirk.

940
01:05:33,164 --> 01:05:37,794
Blimey. There's so many of us.
They'll never...

941
01:05:37,877 --> 01:05:39,420
Mrs. Cole?

942
01:05:40,713 --> 01:05:42,632
They'll never get us all out.

943
01:05:42,715 --> 01:05:44,425
Uh, where... Where is she?

944
01:05:44,509 --> 01:05:47,261
- Thank you.
- Cut!

945
01:05:47,345 --> 01:05:50,056
Could someone please get Mr. Hilliard
out of Dunkirk?

946
01:05:50,139 --> 01:05:52,225
- Find Mrs. Cole!
- Train ticket.

947
01:05:52,308 --> 01:05:55,186
Ration card.
Authorization to travel.

948
01:05:55,269 --> 01:05:57,706
Oh, don't be nervous.
Mr. Hilliard won't notice you're gone...

949
01:05:57,730 --> 01:06:00,566
It's not Hilliard. It's Ellis.

950
01:06:00,650 --> 01:06:04,237
He's gonna be so disappointed in me
for missing the opening,

951
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,114
for not turning up till the last minute.

952
01:06:06,197 --> 01:06:09,492
Nonsense. Your husband
is a lucky man, Mrs. Cole.

953
01:06:09,575 --> 01:06:11,536
I'm sure he knows it.

954
01:06:11,619 --> 01:06:14,122
He's not my husband.

955
01:06:14,205 --> 01:06:16,749
I mean, he's not anyone else's either.
It's just...

956
01:06:18,084 --> 01:06:20,837
We're not actually married.

957
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:22,797
I bought the ring myself
in Woolworths.

958
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:25,800
- I see.
- In love enough to run away with him.

959
01:06:25,883 --> 01:06:30,471
Just too proper not to care
what other people thought.

960
01:06:30,555 --> 01:06:33,141
- Er, behind...
- Better get moving.

961
01:06:33,224 --> 01:06:34,809
Hilliard's looking for you.

962
01:06:34,892 --> 01:06:37,079
Wants to discuss the stuff you wrote
for Uncle Frank's death.

963
01:06:37,103 --> 01:06:39,605
- What did you think?
- Too long, obviously.

964
01:06:39,689 --> 01:06:41,733
But apart from that...

965
01:06:41,816 --> 01:06:43,067
His final moments,

966
01:06:43,151 --> 01:06:46,863
believing Brannigan and Johnnie
are the sons he lost in the last war...

967
01:06:46,946 --> 01:06:49,240
- Well...
- Hmm.

968
01:06:49,323 --> 01:06:53,202
"Such an age you've been gone."

969
01:06:54,704 --> 01:06:56,706
- Really.
- Hmm.

970
01:06:56,789 --> 01:07:01,711
I still think we need a little more
in terms of... of, um, of back-seeding.

971
01:07:01,794 --> 01:07:03,546
Oh, I'm... I'm awfully sorry,
Mr. Hilliard,

972
01:07:03,629 --> 01:07:05,882
but Mrs. Cole has a train to catch.

973
01:07:05,965 --> 01:07:07,425
- What?
- She must go.

974
01:07:07,508 --> 01:07:08,843
- Wha...
- It's...

975
01:07:08,926 --> 01:07:11,345
- It's a personal matter.
- Oh.

976
01:07:11,429 --> 01:07:13,598
Well, will she be back tonight?

977
01:07:13,681 --> 01:07:16,642
- Let's get you into makeup.
- Hmm.

978
01:07:16,726 --> 01:07:18,978
You do look handsome in your sou'wester.

979
01:07:19,062 --> 01:07:20,980
Really?

980
01:07:21,064 --> 01:07:22,774
Gin.

981
01:07:35,620 --> 01:07:38,664
Mr. Hilliard's going to be awfully angry.

982
01:07:38,748 --> 01:07:41,250
Oh, we'll blame war transport.

983
01:07:41,334 --> 01:07:44,670
The old ham can make do with me.

984
01:07:49,258 --> 01:07:50,384
So...

985
01:07:51,844 --> 01:07:54,639
Positions! Positions!

986
01:07:54,722 --> 01:07:57,225
Everybody please be quiet for a take.

987
01:08:04,065 --> 01:08:07,068
Don't stand under any thousand-pounders.

988
01:08:13,116 --> 01:08:14,784
The director wants
to speak to you.

989
01:08:14,867 --> 01:08:19,831
Let me guess. He's canceling my fitting
for the dog costume.

990
01:08:19,914 --> 01:08:22,667
No, he didn't say what it was about.

991
01:08:22,750 --> 01:08:24,669
Tell him you couldn't find me.

992
01:08:24,752 --> 01:08:27,713
But... But I have found you.

993
01:08:27,797 --> 01:08:29,423
No, you haven't.

994
01:08:33,010 --> 01:08:36,013
You are exhausted.

995
01:08:37,014 --> 01:08:39,642
You're leaning
against the rail of the ship,

996
01:08:39,725 --> 01:08:43,229
the wounded Johnnie cradled...
Cradled in your arms.

997
01:08:43,312 --> 01:08:45,857
Oh, uh, no, thank you.

998
01:08:49,235 --> 01:08:50,778
You look up,

999
01:08:50,862 --> 01:08:54,574
and you see, coming
towards you across the deck,

1000
01:08:54,657 --> 01:08:57,702
a vision of loveliness.

1001
01:08:57,785 --> 01:08:59,829
And you say...

1002
01:08:59,912 --> 01:09:03,791
Careful. The kid's pretty messed up.

1003
01:09:05,918 --> 01:09:08,838
Careful. The kid's pretty messed up.

1004
01:09:08,921 --> 01:09:12,800
He kept talking about some broad
called Nancy.

1005
01:09:12,884 --> 01:09:16,179
Kept talking
about some broad called Nancy.

1006
01:09:16,262 --> 01:09:18,764
I guess that must be you.

1007
01:09:18,848 --> 01:09:20,975
I guess that must be you.

1008
01:09:25,521 --> 01:09:26,772
Okay.

1009
01:09:28,191 --> 01:09:29,192
Action.

1010
01:09:35,239 --> 01:09:39,702
Careful. The kid's pretty messed up.

1011
01:09:39,785 --> 01:09:43,247
Kept talking
about some broad called Nancy.

1012
01:09:43,331 --> 01:09:45,833
I guess that must be you.

1013
01:09:45,917 --> 01:09:47,960
To which she replies...

1014
01:09:48,044 --> 01:09:49,629
Ooh.

1015
01:09:49,712 --> 01:09:52,673
I'm Rose. This is Nancy.
The Nancy.

1016
01:09:52,757 --> 01:09:54,592
To which you say...

1017
01:09:57,094 --> 01:09:58,471
Rose...

1018
01:09:58,554 --> 01:10:03,559
Do you know, if one were 2O years younger
and differently inclined,

1019
01:10:03,643 --> 01:10:06,646
one might almost be tempted.

1020
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:03,744
Cat... Catrin...

1021
01:11:07,415 --> 01:11:08,874
Catrin!

1022
01:11:08,958 --> 01:11:11,335
Cat, don't make me run.

1023
01:11:20,761 --> 01:11:23,139
They're always gonna be
like that, aren't they?

1024
01:11:23,222 --> 01:11:27,935
Younger, in awe of you, like I was.

1025
01:11:28,019 --> 01:11:30,313
Oh, come on, Cat, you had a choice.

1026
01:11:31,355 --> 01:11:32,481
You didn't choose me.

1027
01:11:34,233 --> 01:11:36,736
I'll come back in a few days
and move my things.

1028
01:11:36,819 --> 01:11:39,613
Oh, for God's sake, the flat's yours.

1029
01:11:39,697 --> 01:11:43,242
You're the one who pays the rent.

1030
01:11:43,326 --> 01:11:45,870
Anyway, I'm going
to Manchester tomorrow.

1031
01:11:45,953 --> 01:11:47,872
They decided to take
the exhibition on tour.

1032
01:11:47,955 --> 01:11:49,790
It's a success, then?

1033
01:11:49,874 --> 01:11:51,125
It's a success.

1034
01:11:52,209 --> 01:11:53,461
I'm glad.

1035
01:11:55,338 --> 01:11:56,756
Hmm.

1036
01:11:58,674 --> 01:12:01,802
You know, the first time I painted you
outside the steelworks...

1037
01:12:03,429 --> 01:12:05,229
maybe I shouldn't have
shown you walking away.

1038
01:12:05,306 --> 01:12:07,600
Oh, I don't know, Ellis.

1039
01:12:07,683 --> 01:12:10,936
Maybe you just shouldn't have
made me so bloody small.

1040
01:12:18,569 --> 01:12:20,613
Your ticket, madam.

1041
01:12:20,696 --> 01:12:22,948
Safe journey. Next, please.

01:12:23,032 --> 01:12:25,534

You knew I'd cover for you.

1088

01:16:25,910 --> 01:16:26,953
So...

1104
01:16:28,371 --> 01:16:30,457
Another couple of days in Devon.

1105
01:16:32,959 --> 01:16:34,878
London for the studio shoot.

1106
01:16:36,212 --> 01:16:37,297
Then what?

1107
01:16:39,090 --> 01:16:41,217
Back to Careless Talk and carrots?

1108
01:16:44,137 --> 01:16:45,597
Don't know.

1109
01:16:47,474 --> 01:16:50,268
Swain's talking about another feature.

1110
01:16:50,352 --> 01:16:51,978

1111
01:16:53,813 --> 01:16:55,690
There'll be slop.

1112
01:16:57,442 --> 01:16:58,902
I don't know.

1113
01:16:58,985 --> 01:17:01,237
Here.

1114
01:17:03,406 --> 01:17:05,367
I'll get you a real desk.

01:17:07,786 --> 01:17:09,662

1116
01:17:11,208 --> 01:17:15,671
Quiet. No bombing
since Tuesday, apparently.

1117
01:17:15,754 --> 01:17:18,591
I meant the exhibition.

1118
01:17:18,674 --> 01:17:21,468

Likewise.

1122
01:17:31,896 --> 01:17:33,814
So why didn't you stay?

1123
01:17:34,993 --> 01:17:36,369
What?

1124
01:17:39,247 --> 01:17:41,666
I'm already married.

1125
01:17:41,750 --> 01:17:43,668
No, you're not.

1126
01:17:44,836 --> 01:17:46,713
That was private.

1127
01:17:46,796 --> 01:17:49,132
It was a private conversation.

1128
01:17:49,215 --> 01:17:52,719
You had to buy the ring yourself
in Woolworths.

When times got hard,
he tried to send you back to Wales,

1130
01:17:56,056 --> 01:17:59,100
and he's disappointed in you?

1131
01:17:59,184 --> 01:18:03,229
He's a stupid bloody fool,
but he's not as much of a fool as you.

1132
01:18:03,313 --> 01:18:05,440

You have no one.
You don't know.

1136
01:18:16,785 --> 01:18:19,287
- I know you deserve better.
- You?

1137
01:18:19,370 --> 01:18:20,997
You're the better?

01:18:27,420 --> 01:18:32,884

you're a drunk, squalid bully.

1141
01:18:59,577 --> 01:19:00,787
Come and get out of the water.

1142
01:19:00,870 --> 01:19:02,205
Hush!

1143
01:19:02,288 --> 01:19:04,999
You were speaking
of Flight Lieutenant Lundbeck.

1144
01:19:05,083 --> 01:19:07,794
Ah. You know he only did the film
under orders.

1145
01:19:07,877 --> 01:19:09,688
"They told me it would be good

1146
01:19:09,712 --> 01:19:11,714
for Eagle Squadron recruitment, sir."

1147
01:19:13,341 --> 01:19:15,343
He's desperate to get back
in the air, poor boy.

1148
01:19:15,426 --> 01:19:17,053
- Tea, sir?
- Thank you.

1149
01:19:17,137 --> 01:19:20,390

- Thruppence, please.

1151
01:19:23,393 --> 01:19:25,145
There.

1152
01:19:25,228 --> 01:19:27,689
Well, as long as you receive
an adequate coaching fee,

1153
01:19:27,772 --> 01:19:30,316
I see no objection to your continuing
to instruct him.

1154
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:32,485
- Fee?
- Yes. Certainly a fee.

1155
01:19:32,569 --> 01:19:35,405
I shall be raising the matter
with Mr. Baker today.

1156
01:19:35,488 --> 01:19:38,992
Is there anything else you wish me
to discuss with him?

1157
01:19:39,075 --> 01:19:41,244
Your dressing room is adequate?

1158
01:19:41,327 --> 01:19:45,165
Uh... Oh, your intimate needs
are being catered for?

1159
01:19:45,248 --> 01:19:47,167
Mmm?

1160
01:19:47,250 --> 01:19:52,463
Sammy once mentioned you do not like
to share studio facilities with crew.

1161
01:19:52,547 --> 01:19:54,716
Electricians in particular?

1162
01:19:54,799 --> 01:19:58,428
Yes. Well, one mustn't complain.

1163
01:19:58,511 --> 01:20:00,346
They do their best
to make one comfortable.

1164
01:20:00,430 --> 01:20:03,683
And as for the work, uh,
people...

1165
01:20:03,766 --> 01:20:07,520
People seem to be responding
rather well to Uncle Frank.

1166
01:20:07,604 --> 01:20:11,524

to your opinion.

1167
01:20:13,193 --> 01:20:14,903

1168
01:20:21,492 --> 01:20:24,287

1170
01:20:27,916 --> 01:20:30,460

1185
01:21:12,752 --> 01:21:15,922
When the film's been treated for color,
it's going to look marvelous.

God, the American's teeth!
Can they be real?

1187
01:21:18,841 --> 01:21:21,219
If the studio shoot goes half as well,

1188
01:21:21,302 --> 01:21:24,180
this picture's going to be a triumph.

1189
01:21:24,264 --> 01:21:27,183
There is, however,
one area of concern...

1190
01:21:27,267 --> 01:21:28,810
Memo, please.

1191
01:21:28,893 --> 01:21:31,729
From our American distributors.

1192
01:21:31,813 --> 01:21:37,652
I'd ask you to absorb what's said
without derision, Buckley.

1193
01:21:37,735 --> 01:21:41,155
"American picture-goers like
to be knocked off their feet.

1194
01:21:41,239 --> 01:21:45,535
Bangs, crashes, ambulances
careening around corners.

1195
01:21:45,618 --> 01:21:47,912
The same goes for romance.

1196
01:21:47,996 --> 01:21:53,710
What you call understatement
translates as a lack of oomph."

1197
01:21:56,212 --> 01:21:59,924
The Americans feel that
the ending as presently written

1198
01:22:00,008 --> 01:22:01,426
is too subtly nuanced,

1199
01:22:01,509 --> 01:22:05,054
- too... restrained.
- Restrained?

1200
01:22:05,138 --> 01:22:06,889
I mean, it's practically a call to arms.

1201
01:22:06,973 --> 01:22:10,893
Their concern is more
what one might crudely call

1202
01:22:10,977 --> 01:22:13,521
the love triangle.

1203
01:22:13,604 --> 01:22:15,732
I have to say, as far as
the home front goes,

1204
01:22:15,815 --> 01:22:18,255
we can't let it look as if she'd rather
have had the American.

1205
01:22:18,318 --> 01:22:19,986
Well, that'll be the teeth.

1206
01:22:20,069 --> 01:22:21,738
Teeth or no teeth,

1207
01:22:21,821 --> 01:22:24,824
what all parties need is a morally clean,

1208
01:22:24,907 --> 01:22:28,328
romantically satisfying resolution.

1209
01:22:30,872 --> 01:22:36,210
Well, perhaps if Mrs. Cole could carry on
her good work with Hilliard on set,

1210
01:22:36,294 --> 01:22:39,964
Buckley and I could tackle
the new ending in the office.

1211
01:22:40,048 --> 01:22:42,342
You'll enjoy the studio.

1212
01:22:42,425 --> 01:22:43,718
Change of scene.

1213
01:22:43,801 --> 01:22:45,636
Excellent. Excellent.

1214
01:22:57,774 --> 01:23:01,235
Slowly forward.
Two steps.

1215
01:23:01,319 --> 01:23:02,779
- Look to the side.
- Like this?

1216
01:23:02,862 --> 01:23:05,490
No, left side to the camera,
your good side,

1217
01:23:05,573 --> 01:23:09,077
and now raising your eyes
and turning as the Stuka...

1218
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:12,622
Please, if you don't mind...
Stuka.

1219
01:23:15,208 --> 01:23:16,834
Johnnie is hit!

1220
01:23:16,918 --> 01:23:19,212
Can you bring the light
over here? Thank you.

1221
01:23:19,295 --> 01:23:20,546
Could you move, please?

1222
01:23:20,630 --> 01:23:22,215
We're trying to get big boy up there.

1223
01:23:22,298 --> 01:23:24,509
- Sorry.
- Tea. Excuse me.

1224
01:23:24,592 --> 01:23:27,220
- Coming through.
- Anyone for a cup of tea?

1225
01:23:27,303 --> 01:23:28,781
I thought that was
really rather convincing,

1226
01:23:28,805 --> 01:23:30,390
- don't you think?
- Very real.

1227
01:23:30,473 --> 01:23:33,726
Oh, I say, are those rock cakes?

1228
01:23:33,810 --> 01:23:35,770
Ooh!

1229
01:23:35,853 --> 01:23:37,980
They want to know
when it'll be ready.

1230
01:23:38,064 --> 01:23:40,233
<i>It's very much on its way.</i>

1231
01:23:40,316 --> 01:23:43,361
Only you keep saying that you'll be
sending over the new ending, but...

1232
01:23:43,444 --> 01:23:45,488
- It's almost ready.
- Oh.

1233
01:23:45,571 --> 01:23:47,115
Let me know when it is.

1234
01:23:47,198 --> 01:23:50,284
- <i>Bye,</i> Parfitt.
- Mrs. Cole.

1235
01:23:57,291 --> 01:23:59,752
Shall we find the lady
who'll do our makeup?

1236
01:23:59,836 --> 01:24:01,212
I suppose so.

1237
01:24:04,924 --> 01:24:07,635
It's coming over.
Mind your heads.

1238
01:24:07,718 --> 01:24:09,178
Cigarette?

1239
01:24:12,515 --> 01:24:14,517
That's it. Okay, line it up, please.

1240
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:17,895
Line it up and keep it straight.
That's it.

1241
01:24:20,648 --> 01:24:23,192
I've never much
seen the point in men.

1242
01:24:23,276 --> 01:24:26,237
Still, I do hate to see you pining.

1243
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:28,156
Oh, I'm not pining.

1244
01:24:28,239 --> 01:24:30,700
Ellis moved out weeks ago.
I'm already used to it.

1245
01:24:30,783 --> 01:24:32,326
It wasn't Ellis I was thinking of.

1246
01:24:34,245 --> 01:24:36,789
Forgive me.
It's just that...

1247
01:24:37,790 --> 01:24:43,421
When we were shooting in Devon,
you always seemed so... vivid.

1248
01:24:47,216 --> 01:24:49,469
Perhaps I'm just
in a sentimental mood.

1249
01:24:51,345 --> 01:24:54,891
My landlady was killed yesterday.

1250
01:24:54,974 --> 01:25:00,938
I could hear her husband crying
through the wall all night long.

1251
01:25:01,022 --> 01:25:04,150
It seems to me when life
is so very precarious,

1252
01:25:04,233 --> 01:25:06,527
it's an awful shame to waste it.

1253
01:25:13,743 --> 01:25:19,040
I was wondering.
On page 76, I say...

1254
01:25:52,990 --> 01:25:57,537
They're getting worried.
About the ending.

1255
01:25:59,747 --> 01:26:01,832
Turned Ministry spy now?

1256
01:26:07,129 --> 01:26:09,006
Is that it?

1257
01:26:13,511 --> 01:26:14,720
Could I...

1258
01:26:23,312 --> 01:26:25,481
' Sorry.

1259
01:26:25,565 --> 01:26:28,359
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean...
- Don't bother.

1260
01:26:28,442 --> 01:26:30,736
It's not worth it.

1261
01:26:52,508 --> 01:26:54,260
What do you think?

1262
01:26:54,343 --> 01:26:56,012
It's not very good.

1263
01:26:57,430 --> 01:27:01,309
It's not very... Buckley.

1264
01:27:01,392 --> 01:27:03,644
It's not your fault, you know.

1265
01:27:03,728 --> 01:27:05,563
It really isn't.

1266
01:27:07,773 --> 01:27:09,609
You'd better go home, Mrs. Cole.

1267
01:27:17,450 --> 01:27:20,119
<i>Exterior train. Station.</i>

1268
01:28:16,926 --> 01:28:20,554
<i>A full moon, a clear sky.</i>

1269
01:28:20,638 --> 01:28:25,142
<i>A man sits by the shore.
There has been a quarrel.</i>

1270
01:28:25,226 --> 01:28:27,728
<i>A woman is walking away from him.</i>

1271
01:28:27,812 --> 01:28:29,855
<i>Now she turns back.</i>

1272
01:28:33,359 --> 01:28:35,861
<i>"I didn't mean what I just said.</i>

1273
01:28:38,823 --> 01:28:42,535
And, anyway, you said worse."

1274
01:28:45,913 --> 01:28:47,790
It was a declaration.

1275
01:28:49,500 --> 01:28:52,712
"Stupid bloody fool" was good.

1276
01:28:52,795 --> 01:28:54,839
Did you think of that beforehand?

1277
01:28:56,590 --> 01:28:59,510
Are you trying to pick a fight
with me, Mrs. Cole?

1278
01:28:59,593 --> 01:29:01,262
No.

1279
01:29:02,555 --> 01:29:05,307
What I'm trying to say is that...

1280
01:29:07,643 --> 01:29:09,437
if all of this stopped...

1281
01:29:10,563 --> 01:29:14,692
the sparring and the jibing
and the insults and the arguments...

1282
01:29:15,943 --> 01:29:17,611
I'd miss it.

1283
01:29:19,739 --> 01:29:22,616
Even if I were dead,

1284
01:29:22,700 --> 01:29:25,244
I'd still miss it.

1285
01:29:25,327 --> 01:29:28,831
The Catrin Cole School of Dialogue.

1286
01:29:28,914 --> 01:29:31,292
On and on and on and on and on.

1287
01:29:33,586 --> 01:29:35,713
Lose half.

1288
01:29:35,796 --> 01:29:37,840
- Which half?
- The half you don't need.

1289
01:29:37,923 --> 01:29:39,967
All right.

1290
01:29:40,050 --> 01:29:43,888
All right. I'd miss you.

1291
01:29:47,016 --> 01:29:49,310
I'd miss you more than I can say.

1292
01:30:30,100 --> 01:30:31,852
Help me take this.

1293
01:30:35,606 --> 01:30:39,026
None on that side.
Keep going.

1294
01:30:39,109 --> 01:30:41,403
Let's go around this way.

1295
01:30:44,406 --> 01:30:46,325
Mrs. Cole?

1296
01:30:53,666 --> 01:30:55,376
Watch yourself, girl.

1297
01:30:59,630 --> 01:31:01,841
- Mrs. Cole?
- Hmm?

1298
01:31:01,924 --> 01:31:05,636
- I thought you was under it.
- I was in the office.

1299
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:08,055
Hmm.

1300
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:16,397
Okay, coming in from the left.

1301
01:31:22,945 --> 01:31:25,614
I might have to borrow clothes.

1302
01:31:25,698 --> 01:31:29,410
Talk to the costumes mistress,
but don't be surprised if she's tetchy.

1303
01:31:29,493 --> 01:31:32,288
A parachute mine took the roof
off Studio Four last night

1304
01:31:32,371 --> 01:31:35,040
and her Panzer division uniforms
are ruined.

1305
01:31:35,124 --> 01:31:37,293
They're saying it was
the worst night of bombing yet.

1306
01:31:37,376 --> 01:31:39,336
Nothing left of Wimbledon, apparently.

1307
01:31:39,420 --> 01:31:42,131
The props master hasn't turned up,
the best boy's in hospital,

1308
01:31:42,214 --> 01:31:43,757
and no one knows where the grip is,

1309
01:31:43,841 --> 01:31:45,926
so we're having to make do
with whatever we can get.

1310
01:31:46,010 --> 01:31:48,804
It's got a bit of a wobble.
Might have to lash it to the gantry.

1311
01:31:48,888 --> 01:31:51,015
There'll be tears before bedtime,
mark my words.

1312
01:31:51,098 --> 01:31:52,474
No, you've got a bit of a wobble.

1313
01:31:52,558 --> 01:31:54,351
Chick.

1314
01:31:55,936 --> 01:32:00,190
Could we save that lamp
till we roll, please?

1315
01:32:00,274 --> 01:32:02,359
Sorry, Mr. Hilliard.
It's heavy.

1316
01:32:02,443 --> 01:32:03,795
- More?
- Much more.

1317
01:32:03,819 --> 01:32:07,114
This man hasn't had a bath
since the last time he fell off the boat.

1318
01:32:07,197 --> 01:32:09,241
Change of plans.

1319
01:32:09,325 --> 01:32:11,076
Going straight
from Uncle Frank's Mayday

1320
01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:13,579
to wounded Johnnie
fixing the propeller.

1321
01:32:13,662 --> 01:32:15,581
Hurry up, Rex.
We need you over here.

1322
01:32:15,664 --> 01:32:17,708
Yes, sir. Corning.
Quick as I can.

1323
01:32:19,710 --> 01:32:21,587
Right, what can I do for you, sir?

1324
01:32:25,925 --> 01:32:29,011
Right, be careful. Careful.

1325
01:32:29,094 --> 01:32:31,805
And watch out for that...
Watch the wires, please.

1326
01:32:31,889 --> 01:32:35,351
- I thought you'd be at the office.
- Don't lean against it.

1327
01:32:37,102 --> 01:32:38,312
I was.

1328
01:32:58,749 --> 01:33:00,376
I read your ending.

1329
01:33:01,961 --> 01:33:03,462
You bagged it.

1330
01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:07,967
- You were almost there.
- Nowhere near.

1331
01:33:08,968 --> 01:33:11,887
I've been useless for weeks.

1332
01:33:15,057 --> 01:33:17,351
I read your other stuff, too.

1333
01:33:19,687 --> 01:33:21,772
Oh?

1334
01:33:21,855 --> 01:33:24,483
- What did you think?
- Hmm.

1335
01:33:24,566 --> 01:33:28,737
Bit inconclusive. I wasn't really sure
where it was going next.

1336
01:33:30,406 --> 01:33:31,782
No.

1337
01:33:33,283 --> 01:33:34,868
I wasn't too sure of that, either.

1338
01:33:43,585 --> 01:33:44,628
Crumbs.

1339
01:33:57,850 --> 01:34:01,228
Find Mrs. Cole!
I need to talk to Mrs. Cole.

1340
01:34:01,311 --> 01:34:02,896
Mrs. Cole!

1341
01:34:02,980 --> 01:34:05,482
Has anyone seen Mrs. Cole?

1342
01:34:06,942 --> 01:34:09,069
- Come on before they find us.
- Where?

1343
01:34:09,153 --> 01:34:11,071
I don't know. I never come to the studio.

1344
01:34:11,155 --> 01:34:12,448
Mrs. Cole!

1345
01:34:18,537 --> 01:34:21,331
The boss wants to try a take
without Uncle Frank's lines

1346
01:34:21,415 --> 01:34:24,752
'cause he says
we are losing visual tension.

1347
01:34:24,835 --> 01:34:27,880
Mr. Hilliard is talking about
the integrity of the story,

1348
01:34:27,963 --> 01:34:32,509
saying he will play the scene
as you wrote it or not at all.

1349
01:34:32,593 --> 01:34:36,680
- Nobody's had any sleep and you're just...
- It's all right. I'm coming.

1350
01:34:43,937 --> 01:34:46,273
No. Let me deal with it.

1351
01:34:46,356 --> 01:34:49,777
Once Hilliard gets his hands on you,
he won't let you go for hours,

1352
01:34:49,860 --> 01:34:54,239
and I was rather hoping to do that myself.

1353
01:34:54,323 --> 01:34:55,783
Careful of big boy,

1354
01:34:55,866 --> 01:34:57,746
it's got a bit of a wobble on it.

1355
01:34:58,827 --> 01:35:00,829
Don't... Don't lean against it.

1356
01:35:16,512 --> 01:35:18,305
- Whoa! Nobody move!
- Buckley!

1357
01:35:19,890 --> 01:35:23,352
Nobody move, stay exactly where
you are until we have some lights in here.

1358
01:35:23,435 --> 01:35:25,187
Stay where you are.

1359
01:35:27,439 --> 01:35:29,525
Back. Back, please.
Everybody get back.

1360
01:35:56,510 --> 01:35:59,012
Please take the girls
away from the stage.

1361
01:35:59,096 --> 01:36:00,889
Mr. Brown, please take them away.

1362
01:37:18,300 --> 01:37:20,219
<i>Almost dawn.</i>

1363
01:37:23,305 --> 01:37:25,974
<i>Johnnie has been doing
his best to fix the engine,</i>

1364
01:37:26,058 --> 01:37:28,018
<i>but he is getting weaker by the minute.</i>

1365
01:37:28,101 --> 01:37:30,562
<i>And we all know
when the sun comes up,</i>

1366
01:37:30,646 --> 01:37:32,856
<i>the German planes will be back.</i>

1367
01:37:48,956 --> 01:37:52,042
No one wants to be here,

1368
01:37:52,125 --> 01:37:54,336
but we have a hole in this picture.

1369
01:37:54,419 --> 01:37:56,463
A stranded boat,
a broken propeller,

1370
01:37:56,546 --> 01:37:59,383
no one to fix it,
and no Tom Buckley.

1371
01:38:01,677 --> 01:38:04,638
- Well, maybe we could reshoot.
- Who with?

1372
01:38:04,721 --> 01:38:07,349
Ambrose Hilliard is still in plaster,

1373
01:38:07,432 --> 01:38:09,851
Wyndham Best's
in the North Atlantic,

1374
01:38:09,935 --> 01:38:13,355
and Carl Lundbeck
is back with the RAF.

1375
01:38:13,438 --> 01:38:16,191
Could one of the Frenchies do it?

1376
01:38:16,275 --> 01:38:19,278
Come to our rescue,
same way we came to theirs?

1377
01:38:19,361 --> 01:38:22,531
It doesn't seem right morale-wise.

1378
01:38:23,657 --> 01:38:27,077
We could, uh, pan across
the faces of the soldiers

1379
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:29,288
and never actually see who fixes...

1380
01:38:29,371 --> 01:38:32,582
<i>The work's good, Mrs. Cole.</i>

1381
01:38:37,212 --> 01:38:39,548
None of them
could have done any better.

1382
01:38:43,635 --> 01:38:45,679
You're mustard these days.

1383
01:38:50,017 --> 01:38:51,893
Rose could do it.

1384
01:38:55,397 --> 01:38:57,816
Rose could free the propeller.

1385
01:39:06,158 --> 01:39:08,243
Cerberus, sit.

1386
01:39:18,253 --> 01:39:19,546
Rugelach...

1387
01:39:20,672 --> 01:39:23,842
- and koge/ mogel.
- Mmm-hmm.

1388
01:39:23,925 --> 01:39:27,304
To build you up in time
for the premiere.

1389
01:39:35,020 --> 01:39:39,316
You'll be interested to learn I received
several unexpected propositions this week.

1390
01:39:39,399 --> 01:39:43,528
How delightful for you.

1391
01:39:43,612 --> 01:39:46,615
Of course, I do not speak
of erotic advances.

1392
01:39:46,698 --> 01:39:50,452
These were professional inquiries
regarding your availability.

1393
01:39:50,535 --> 01:39:54,247
You will be kind enough to read,
give your opinion.

1394
01:39:57,376 --> 01:40:00,962
The doctors tell me you are
to be discharged in a few days.

1395
01:40:01,046 --> 01:40:05,884
I cannot see you will be in a condition
to look after yourself. I...

1396
01:40:08,428 --> 01:40:12,349
I therefore propose that we should ready
a room in the apartment for your use.

1397
01:40:13,767 --> 01:40:17,020
I believe a few weeks' proper care
will be of great benefit...

1398
01:40:18,355 --> 01:40:20,774
to your career.

1399
01:40:20,857 --> 01:40:23,610
You're still a very handsome man,
Mr. Hilliard.

1400
01:40:23,693 --> 01:40:25,362
Yes.

1401
01:40:25,445 --> 01:40:29,825
But your good looks have fallen prey
to a certain scrawniness.

1402
01:40:29,908 --> 01:40:33,286
Oh, no, we can correct this,
I believe, together.

1403
01:40:35,664 --> 01:40:37,392
Thank you, Mr. Hilliard.

1404
01:40:37,416 --> 01:40:38,601
This way, Mr. Hilliard.

1405
01:40:42,796 --> 01:40:44,840
Young ladies, thank you.

1406
01:40:44,923 --> 01:40:46,508
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

1407
01:40:46,591 --> 01:40:49,177
I'm not concerned
about how many lines I have.

1408
01:40:49,261 --> 01:40:50,887
I'd rather have four honest words

1409
01:40:50,971 --> 01:40:52,573
- than 50 pages of bilge.
- Wyndham Best.

1410
01:40:52,597 --> 01:40:53,932
Young lady.

1411
01:40:54,015 --> 01:40:56,268
Remarkably good turnout.
Mr. Frayle.

1412
01:40:58,145 --> 01:41:01,773
- Hello. Did you... Is this...
- Yes.

1413
01:41:01,857 --> 01:41:03,442
Congratulations.
Well done.

1414
01:41:03,525 --> 01:41:05,777
- Good evening.
- Miss Moore. Very ship shape.

1415
01:41:05,861 --> 01:41:07,571
- Why, thank you.
- Hello.

1416
01:41:07,654 --> 01:41:09,239
Let me do this.

1417
01:41:09,322 --> 01:41:12,784
Mrs. Cole? She's coming?

1418
01:41:12,868 --> 01:41:14,119
I tried.

1419
01:41:24,463 --> 01:41:27,382
Oh, Miss Pugh,
your uncle's here to see you.

1420
01:41:36,391 --> 01:41:37,726
Forgive the deceit.

1421
01:41:37,809 --> 01:41:40,896
Your landlady didn't look the sort
to approve a gentleman caller.

1422
01:41:42,314 --> 01:41:44,250
To be perfectly frank, she's the first
person I've met for weeks

1423
01:41:44,274 --> 01:41:45,609
who didn't recognize me.

1424
01:41:45,692 --> 01:41:48,987
She doesn't hold
with the pictures. Ungodly.

1425
01:41:58,163 --> 01:41:59,915
Ah!

1426
01:41:59,998 --> 01:42:03,418
That's...
That's charming.

1427
01:42:03,502 --> 01:42:05,587
It's from Rose and Lily.

1428
01:42:05,670 --> 01:42:07,881
The real Rose and Lily.

1429
01:42:07,964 --> 01:42:09,508
They ran away to join the ATS.

1430
01:42:09,591 --> 01:42:13,845
Rose thought if she could fix
a propeller in a film,

1431
01:42:13,929 --> 01:42:16,515
she could learn to mend
an engine in real life.

1432
01:42:16,598 --> 01:42:18,308
Ah.

1433
01:42:18,391 --> 01:42:20,352
They're both mechanics now.

1434
01:42:22,437 --> 01:42:23,939
Um...

1435
01:42:31,112 --> 01:42:34,032
Baker's planning a new film.

1436
01:42:34,115 --> 01:42:38,078
Air-raid wardens.
Wants me in it.

1437
01:42:38,161 --> 01:42:40,789
He's pretty much left the part up to me.

1438
01:42:40,872 --> 01:42:45,877
So, I was thinking,
newly retired cat burglar,

1439
01:42:45,961 --> 01:42:49,422
not quite reformed.
That's why he's so good at the rescues.

1440
01:42:49,506 --> 01:42:52,050
He knows the way in and out
of any property.

1441
01:42:54,177 --> 01:42:56,972
Thing is, in the hands
of the wrong writer...

1442
01:42:59,432 --> 01:43:01,101
So, I was wondering

1443
01:43:01,184 --> 01:43:04,521
if you would consider putting
your time and talent...

1444
01:43:04,604 --> 01:43:06,398
I don't do that anymore.

1445
01:43:07,649 --> 01:43:10,151
I'm sorry. I just can't.

1446
01:43:30,714 --> 01:43:33,049
You'll get... You'll get soap in your eyes.

1447
01:43:37,012 --> 01:43:38,597
Here.

1448
01:43:55,447 --> 01:43:56,906
Hmm.

1449
01:43:56,990 --> 01:43:58,700
My agent's.

1450
01:44:00,785 --> 01:44:07,125
You and me, given opportunities
only because young men are gone.

1451
01:44:07,208 --> 01:44:09,878
Or dying-

1452
01:44:11,588 --> 01:44:15,717
But to turn our back
on those opportunities,

1453
01:44:15,800 --> 01:44:20,722
even when one has suffered
such great loss,

1454
01:44:20,805 --> 01:44:25,477
wouldn't that be giving death
dominion over life?

1455
01:44:39,032 --> 01:44:42,452
Have you seen it yet?
Our film?

1456
01:44:42,535 --> 01:44:46,081
You should.
It's very good.

1457
01:44:46,164 --> 01:44:48,958
I'm awfully good.

1458
01:44:51,711 --> 01:44:53,213
And so are you.

1459
01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:08,311
<i>Calling all small boats.</i>

1460
01:45:08,395 --> 01:45:12,440
<i>All seaworthy vessels to report
to your local harbor master immediately.</i>

1461
01:45:12,524 --> 01:45:14,651
<i>Dunkirk. on, Lily!</i>

1462
01:45:14,734 --> 01:45:16,986
<i>I think they're gonna get 'em out.</i>

1463
01:45:17,070 --> 01:45:20,824
<i>Then they're going to need
all the boats they can get, aren't they?</i>

1464
01:45:20,907 --> 01:45:22,826
<i>The Nancy.</i>

1465
01:45:22,909 --> 01:45:25,745
Here, boy.

1466
01:45:25,829 --> 01:45:27,872
Here.

1467
01:45:30,750 --> 01:45:31,977
<i>Don't be</i> a <i>fool, Johnnie.</i>

1468
01:45:32,001 --> 01:45:33,336
<i>There's a sniper up there.</i>

1469
01:45:33,420 --> 01:45:34,939
<i>I don't care if he's got
a bleedin' cannon.</i>

1470
01:45:34,963 --> 01:45:36,803
<i>I'm not gonna sit by
and watch him shoot a dog.</i>

1471
01:45:44,013 --> 01:45:46,266
Aww!

1472
01:45:58,528 --> 01:46:01,781
<i>What in the... What is that?</i>

1473
01:46:01,865 --> 01:46:04,033
<i>It's France, Uncle Frank.</i>

1474
01:46:05,577 --> 01:46:06,995
<i>Dunkirk.</i>

1475
01:46:07,078 --> 01:46:10,206
<i>Blimey.
There's so many of us.</i>

1476
01:46:10,290 --> 01:46:12,375
<i>They'll never get us all out.</i>

1477
01:46:16,546 --> 01:46:19,257
<i>Hitler? Hitler?</i>

1478
01:46:19,340 --> 01:46:22,343
<i>Who the bleedin' hell
does he think he is?</i>

1479
01:46:22,427 --> 01:46:23,863
Who the bleeding heck

1480
01:46:23,887 --> 01:46:24,929
do you think you are?

1481
01:46:25,013 --> 01:46:26,264
Who do you think you are?

1482
01:46:33,730 --> 01:46:35,482
Johnnie!

1483
01:46:39,903 --> 01:46:43,031
<i>That's it. There you go.</i>

1484
01:46:43,114 --> 01:46:45,950
<i>Thank you, Grandad.
You deserve a medal, mate.</i>

1485
01:46:58,171 --> 01:46:59,214
<i>Johnnie.</i>

1486
01:47:02,175 --> 01:47:04,052
<i>- Johnnie. Johnnie.
- Careful.</i>

1487
01:47:04,135 --> 01:47:05,970
<i>The kid's pretty messed up.</i>

1488
01:47:06,054 --> 01:47:09,432
<i>He kept talking
about some broad called Nancy.</i>

1489
01:47:09,516 --> 01:47:11,643
<i>I guess that must be you.</i>

1490
01:47:11,726 --> 01:47:14,854
<i>I'm Rose. This is the Nancy.</i>

1491
01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:17,732
<i>Rose.</i>

1492
01:47:23,947 --> 01:47:26,115
<i>The propeller's snarled.</i>

1493
01:47:26,199 --> 01:47:30,620
<i>If I... If I can just cut it free...</i>

1494
01:47:42,090 --> 01:47:45,426
<i>Just pretend you're Errol Flynn.
He can do anything.</i>

1495
01:48:01,734 --> 01:48:03,611
<i>I've cut it free.</i>

1496
01:48:13,580 --> 01:48:15,623
She's <i>moving.</i>

1497
01:48:17,250 --> 01:48:19,168
<i>Come on, you beauty.</i>

1498
01:48:19,252 --> 01:48:22,130
She'll do it.

1499
01:48:35,685 --> 01:48:39,355
<i>I haven't had the chance to thank you,
Mr. Brannigan, for bringing Johnnie back.</i>

1500
01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:43,109
<i>There's no mister, and back home,
they call me Gene.</i>

1501
01:48:43,192 --> 01:48:46,029
- Thank you, <i>Gene.</i>
- Thank you, Gene.

1502
01:48:46,112 --> 01:48:48,239
<i>Tell</i> me one <i>thing.</i>

1503
01:48:48,323 --> 01:48:50,617
<i>In another time, another place,</i>

1504
01:48:50,700 --> 01:48:52,577
<i>could it have been me?</i>

1505
01:48:52,660 --> 01:48:56,623
<i>Perhaps, but you're talking
about a world without Johnnie.</i>

1506
01:48:58,541 --> 01:49:01,252
<i>And that's not a world
I'd care to live in.</i>

1507
01:49:10,887 --> 01:49:14,140
<i>Have you ever looked at something
and known you want it,</i>

1508
01:49:14,223 --> 01:49:17,268
<i>want it more than anything
you've ever wanted in your life before,</i>

1509
01:49:17,352 --> 01:49:19,103
<i>and known that it can never be yours?</i>

1510
01:49:20,897 --> 01:49:24,233
<i>I have, and I tell you,</i>

1511
01:49:24,317 --> 01:49:26,653
<i>it'll either finish you
or put a fire in your belly</i>

1512
01:49:26,736 --> 01:49:29,238
<i>that'll keep burning
to the end of your days.</i>

1513
01:49:32,742 --> 01:49:35,536
<i>I wasn't there at the beginning
of the story,</i>

1514
01:49:35,620 --> 01:49:38,831
<i>but you can bet your bottom dollar
I'm not leaving before the end.</i>

1515
01:49:38,915 --> 01:49:43,086
<i>Because I know now that it has to be
the right sort of ending.</i>

1516
01:49:45,088 --> 01:49:47,757
<i>The sort of ending
that's worth fighting for.</i>

1517
01:50:13,825 --> 01:50:15,034
Miss.

1518
01:50:15,118 --> 01:50:16,577
Oh.

1519
01:50:16,661 --> 01:50:18,371
Wanna stay and watch it again?

1520
01:50:18,454 --> 01:50:21,708
You'll find more in to make you laugh
second time round.

1521
01:50:21,791 --> 01:50:23,751
I've seen it five times.

1522
01:50:23,835 --> 01:50:28,297
It's our picture, isn't it?
They're our girls.

1523
01:50:31,217 --> 01:50:35,555
Thanks, but I'd better get back to work.

1524
01:50:35,638 --> 01:50:37,807
What's work?

1525
01:50:37,890 --> 01:50:40,518
Air-raid wardens.

1526
01:50:51,070 --> 01:50:53,614
- They want an outline.
- We haven't got a story yet.

1527
01:50:53,698 --> 01:50:57,910
And they're asking about characters,
apart from Hilliard as a cat burglar.

1528
01:50:57,994 --> 01:51:00,079
Three girls,
three different walks of life.

1529
01:51:00,163 --> 01:51:01,289
I need specifics.

1530
01:51:01,372 --> 01:51:03,291
A nun, a showgirl,
a lady wrestler.

1531
01:51:03,374 --> 01:51:06,044
Seriously, you push us now,
and that's what you'll get.

1532
01:51:06,127 --> 01:51:07,211
Men?

1533
01:51:07,295 --> 01:51:09,630
Well, who else are the girls
gonna fall in love with?

1534
01:51:09,714 --> 01:51:12,675
- Each other?
- We've got titles.

1535
01:51:12,759 --> 01:51:15,928
<i>Raiders Overhead. Fires Overhead.
Fire in the Sky.</i>

1536
01:51:16,012 --> 01:51:18,014
They are looking
for the female angle again.

1537
01:51:18,097 --> 01:51:20,475
<i>A Tin Hat for Tallulah.</i>

1538
01:51:20,558 --> 01:51:22,935
<i>- Girls Like Them?
- Girls Like You.</i>

1539
01:51:23,019 --> 01:51:24,353
<i>Girls Like Us?</i>

1540
01:51:29,358 --> 01:51:31,736
- You need an ending.
- We're working on it.

1541
01:51:36,491 --> 01:51:38,117
Make it a happy one.

1542
01:51:38,201 --> 01:51:40,620
It Will be.
