00:01:06,792 --> 00:01:08,915
[Oscar] High above the city,

3
00:01:08,917 --> 00:01:13,417
on a tall column,
stood the statue of the Happy Prince.

4
00:01:14,876 --> 00:01:19,251
He was gilded all over
with thin leaves of fine gold.

5
00:01:20,126 --> 00:01:22,999
For eyes, he had two bright sapphires,

6
00:01:23,001 --> 00:01:26,167
and a large red ruby glowed
on his sword-hilt.

7
00:01:27,084 --> 00:01:29,167
He was very much admired indeed.

8
00:01:29,792 --> 00:01:34,126
One night, there flew over the city
a little swallow.

9
00:01:35,126 --> 00:01:38,959
His friends had gone away to Egypt
six weeks before...

10
00:01:39,417 --> 00:01:41,084
but he had stayed behind.

11
00:01:42,167 --> 00:01:43,290
Where shall I...?

12
00:01:43,292 --> 00:01:47,165
[Oscar, younger] All the next day,
he sat on the Prince's shoulder

13
00:01:47,167 --> 00:01:50,876
and told him storeys of things
he had seen in strange lands.

14
00:01:51,626 --> 00:01:55,751
Of the red ibises who stand
in long rows on the banks of the Nile...

15
00:01:56,376 --> 00:01:58,332
and catch goldfish in their beaks.

16
00:01:58,334 --> 00:01:59,959
[giggles]

17
00:02:00,334 --> 00:02:04,959
Of the King of the Mountains of the Moon,
who is as black as ebony...

18
00:02:06,209 --> 00:02:08,292
and worships a large crystal.

19
00:02:10,251 --> 00:02:13,626
"Swallow, Swallow, little Swallow",
said the Happy Prince.

20
00:02:14,584 --> 00:02:16,917
"You tell me of marvellous things.

21
00:02:18,584 --> 00:02:21,167
But more marvellous than this...

22
00:02:21,709 --> 00:02:25,626
is the suffering of men and women.

23
00:02:27,251 --> 00:02:30,417
There is no mystery so great as suffering.

24
00:02:31,709 --> 00:02:33,959
Fly over my city, little Swallow...

25
00:02:35,042 --> 00:02:36,792
and tell me what you see there."

26
00:02:40,959 --> 00:02:43,209
So the Swallow flew over the great city...

27
00:02:43,667 --> 00:02:47,501
and saw the rich making merry
in their beautiful houses...

28
00:02:48,709 --> 00:02:51,376
while the white faces of starving children

29
00:02:51,917 --> 00:02:55,042
looked out listlessly
at the black streets.

30
00:02:57,001 --> 00:02:59,582
At a table sat a broken man,

31
00:02:59,584 --> 00:03:02,292
a bunch of withered violets by his side.

32
00:03:05,709 --> 00:03:06,959
He was a writer.

33
00:03:09,209 --> 00:03:11,917
But he was too cold to finish his play.

34
00:03:13,667 --> 00:03:14,959
It's a dream.

35
00:03:15,626 --> 00:03:17,834
[indistinct chatter in the background]

36
00:03:23,417 --> 00:03:25,167
[French spoken in background]

37
00:03:34,334 --> 00:03:35,792
I rather agree with you.

38
00:03:37,251 --> 00:03:39,040
Absolutely extraordinary!

39
00:03:39,042 --> 00:03:41,249
- It was very good bottle.
- Lovely place too!

40
00:03:41,251 --> 00:03:44,582
I tell you what. When we're next in
London, will you come to the club? Hmm?

41
00:03:44,584 --> 00:03:46,249
I'd love to! Which one?

42
00:03:46,251 --> 00:03:49,082
- Um... The Carlton.
- Oh, marvellous!

43
00:03:49,084 --> 00:03:50,876
- Never seen a man eat so...
- I...

44
00:03:51,334 --> 00:03:54,459
- What is it, my dear?
- I, I think I left my fan.

45
00:03:56,876 --> 00:03:58,126
Is she all right?

46
00:04:24,834 --> 00:04:25,876
Mr Wilde!

47
00:04:28,167 --> 00:04:29,042
Mr Wilde?

48
00:04:33,709 --> 00:04:36,126
- Madam.
- Surely you remember me.

49
00:04:37,334 --> 00:04:38,667
It's Mrs Arbuthnot.

50
00:04:39,042 --> 00:04:40,624
[she laughs]

51
00:04:40,626 --> 00:04:42,832
I came to all your first nights.

52
00:04:42,834 --> 00:04:44,542
Of course, madam.

53
00:04:45,334 --> 00:04:47,334
One never forgets such a face.

54
00:04:48,417 --> 00:04:50,167
How kind of you to speak to me.

55
00:04:50,917 --> 00:04:53,834
- You are well, I see.
- Very well, sir.

56
00:04:55,334 --> 00:04:57,082
- How are you?
- Oh...

57
00:04:57,084 --> 00:04:59,334
[man] Lydia! Come here immediately!

58
00:05:00,417 --> 00:05:01,417
I have to go.

59
00:05:02,751 --> 00:05:04,417
You couldn't lend me £5, could you?

60
00:05:06,001 --> 00:05:09,499
Things are a little tight at present.
I feel ghastly asking like this but...

61
00:05:09,501 --> 00:05:11,292
- [man] Lydia!
- I'm coming!

62
00:05:13,542 --> 00:05:15,001
[emotionally] Mr Wilde, I...

63
00:05:16,959 --> 00:05:19,040
I... just wish...

64
00:05:19,042 --> 00:05:21,959
Never wish, madam. It might come true.

65
00:05:22,792 --> 00:05:27,126
But thank you... for a moment's harmony
in a discordant fugue.

66
00:05:28,292 --> 00:05:29,709
Go back to Jeffrey at once.

67
00:05:30,751 --> 00:05:31,917
[whimpering]

68
00:05:36,584 --> 00:05:39,832
If you ever speak to my wife again,
I'll kill you. Do you hear me?

69
00:05:39,834 --> 00:05:42,167
[inaudible over applause]

70
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:49,751
[clears throat, then coughs]

71
00:05:57,167 --> 00:05:58,917
[groans]

72
00:06:38,126 --> 00:06:40,626
[breathing heavily]

73
00:06:45,417 --> 00:06:46,501
[sighs]

74
00:06:50,501 --> 00:06:51,584
[groans]

75
00:07:00,751 --> 00:07:02,126
Five pounds.

76
00:07:32,126 --> 00:07:37,999
See, see, my Christ blood streams

77
00:07:38,001 --> 00:07:39,292
through the firmament.

78
00:07:39,834 --> 00:07:41,501
[coughing]

79
00:07:57,126 --> 00:07:58,584
[speaks French]

80
00:08:11,417 --> 00:08:12,584
[man in French] I'm coming.

81
00:08:12,876 --> 00:08:13,876
[crying]

82
00:09:06,376 --> 00:09:07,709
[speaks French]

83
00:09:08,626 --> 00:09:09,667
[sighs]

84
00:09:39,334 --> 00:09:40,376
[scoffs]

85
00:09:51,251 --> 00:09:52,709
[groans and mumbles]

86
00:09:54,834 --> 00:09:56,667
[thudding upstairs, woman moans]

87
00:09:58,251 --> 00:10:00,959
[thudding stops, man and woman laugh]

88
00:10:06,126 --> 00:10:10,209
[speaks English] Shrouded in the symphony
of adjacent copulation.

89
00:10:30,459 --> 00:10:31,292
Ow!

90
00:10:39,751 --> 00:10:40,751
[speaks French] Thanks.

91
00:10:47,501 --> 00:10:48,709
For that.

92
00:10:50,084 --> 00:10:52,209
[Oscar groans and coughs]

93
00:11:03,167 --> 00:11:04,251
[speaks French] Sit down.

94
00:11:31,834 --> 00:11:32,876
[shouts]

95
00:12:03,417 --> 00:12:05,501
[speaks French] My dear Boudicca.

96
00:12:13,792 --> 00:12:16,209
[sings in French]

97
00:12:17,292 --> 00:12:19,626
[music stops, cheering]

98
00:12:20,292 --> 00:12:22,292
[inaudible]

99
00:12:25,084 --> 00:12:25,959
[speaks French] Please!

100
00:12:26,251 --> 00:12:29,334
[coughs and groans]

101
00:12:32,584 --> 00:12:33,834
Garçon.

102
00:12:35,626 --> 00:12:37,251
[speaks French] Very well, sir.

103
00:12:37,876 --> 00:12:39,126
[speaks French] And for you, sirs?

104
00:12:48,126 --> 00:12:50,751
[sings in French]

105
00:12:55,501 --> 00:12:57,751
[sings in French]

106
00:12:59,001 --> 00:13:00,749
- [high-pitched] Ooh, Maurice.
- [Jean laughs]

107
00:13:00,751 --> 00:13:02,917
- [Oscar] Maurice! Maurice!
- [inaudible]

108
00:13:04,417 --> 00:13:05,251
Maurice!

109
00:13:13,667 --> 00:13:14,667
Oscar!

110
00:13:16,626 --> 00:13:17,459
[speaks French] Brother.

111
00:13:41,209 --> 00:13:43,126
[crowd exclaims]

112
00:14:13,209 --> 00:14:14,417
[Oscar speaks English] Shut up.

113
00:14:15,667 --> 00:14:17,001
[applause]

114
00:14:28,292 --> 00:14:30,001
[cheering]

115
00:14:37,459 --> 00:14:38,667
[applause]

116
00:14:44,501 --> 00:14:46,374

[thud, silence]

145
00:16:35,084 --> 00:16:36,292
[sighs]

146
00:16:42,667 --> 00:16:43,792
The actors...

147
00:16:45,334 --> 00:16:48,334
have given a charming rendering
of a delightful play.

148
00:16:50,667 --> 00:16:54,332
- Your appreciation is most intelligent.
- [laughter]

149
00:16:54,334 --> 00:16:57,959
I congratulate you
on the success of your performance.

150
00:16:59,501 --> 00:17:03,501
Which persuades me that you think
almost as highly of the play...

151
00:17:04,209 --> 00:17:05,624
as I do myself.

152
00:17:05,626 --> 00:17:06,959
[thud]

153
00:17:09,334 --> 00:17:10,417
Oscar Wilde.

154
00:17:10,959 --> 00:17:15,165
The crime of which
you have been convicted is so bad

155
00:17:15,167 --> 00:17:17,915
that one has to put the sternest restraint

156
00:17:17,917 --> 00:17:20,915
upon oneself
from describing the sentiments,

157
00:17:20,917 --> 00:17:25,459
which must rise to the breast
of every man of honour.

158
00:17:27,376 --> 00:17:29,624
It is no use to address you.

159
00:17:29,626 --> 00:17:33,709
People who do these things must be dead
to all sense of shame.

160
00:17:34,001 --> 00:17:36,249
I shall, under such circumstances,

161
00:17:36,251 --> 00:17:40,792
be expected to pass
the severest sentence that the law allows.

162
00:17:41,292 --> 00:17:44,624
The sentence of the court
is that you be imprisoned

163
00:17:44,626 --> 00:17:48,417
and kept to hard labour for two years.

164
00:18:05,501 --> 00:18:06,709
[sighs]

165
00:18:07,626 --> 00:18:08,751
[door closes]

[man speaks French]

169
00:18:28,417 --> 00:18:29,334
Robbie.

170
00:18:30,709 --> 00:18:32,917
My lonely rider of the Apocalypse.

171
00:18:34,126 --> 00:18:36,417
You took me into exile, dear boy.

172
00:18:37,917 --> 00:18:39,707
Where will you take me now?

173
00:18:39,709 --> 00:18:41,501
- [Robbie] I'm not taking you anywhere.
- What?

174
00:18:42,167 --> 00:18:44,499
What ship? Ireland, you say?

175
00:18:44,501 --> 00:18:45,751
No ships, Oscar.

176
00:18:46,501 --> 00:18:49,040
I'm here in Paris. I have your allowance.

177
00:18:49,042 --> 00:18:52,084
Oh, good. I have been dinnerless.

178
00:18:53,001 --> 00:18:54,251
[sighs]

179
00:18:56,167 --> 00:18:58,917
I'm in mortal combat
with this wallpaper, Robbie.

180
00:18:59,417 --> 00:19:00,959
One of us has to go.

181
00:19:01,417 --> 00:19:03,959
Maurice says you made
quite a scene last night.

182
00:19:05,292 --> 00:19:07,707
It's more or less impossible
to make good scenes

183
00:19:07,709 --> 00:19:10,251
in such reduced circumstances as mine.

184
00:19:10,917 --> 00:19:12,542
But I believe I did my best.

185
00:19:13,042 --> 00:19:16,957
Last night,
I dreamed I was dining with the dead.

186
00:19:16,959 --> 00:19:19,501
You must've been
the life and soul of the party, Oscar.

187
00:19:21,251 --> 00:19:23,376
- What is this?
- Morphia.

188
00:19:24,501 --> 00:19:26,084
I am much distracted, dear boy.

189
00:19:26,709 --> 00:19:31,167
I've had a very bad time lately.
For two days, not a penny in my pocket.

190
00:19:32,001 --> 00:19:34,626
So I had to wander around,
filled with wild longings,

191
00:19:34,959 --> 00:19:37,334
trapped in the circle of boulevards.

192
00:19:37,959 --> 00:19:40,209
One of the worst in the Inferno.

193
00:19:42,167 --> 00:19:44,251
[doctor] Jumping off tables at your age.

194
00:19:49,292 --> 00:19:50,915
[Robbie] What do you think, doctor?

195
00:19:50,917 --> 00:19:52,999
[doctor] The abscess has suppurated.

196
00:19:53,001 --> 00:19:56,209
If things don't improve,
I'm afraid we'll have to operate.

197
00:19:57,667 --> 00:20:02,626
I shall never forget your kindness
when I was released from prison.

198
00:20:06,376 --> 00:20:08,376
What high hopes we had that day.

199
00:20:10,042 --> 00:20:12,376
But I was doomed from the start.

200
00:20:13,959 --> 00:20:16,499
[Oscar] Why does one run towards ruin?

201
00:20:16,501 --> 00:20:18,249
[ship horn blaring]

202
00:20:18,251 --> 00:20:20,959
Why does it hold such a fascination?

203
00:20:30,084 --> 00:20:32,709
[indistinct chatter]

204
00:20:40,834 --> 00:20:43,249
[ship horn blaring]

205
00:20:43,251 --> 00:20:44,167
Oscar!

206
00:20:44,667 --> 00:20:45,626
Robbie!

207
00:20:49,001 --> 00:20:50,792
- Oscar.
- Robbie! [laughs]

208
00:20:54,626 --> 00:20:56,499
- How are you?
- Where's Reggie?

209
00:20:56,501 --> 00:21:00,040
He's waiting for us at the hotel.
He wanted to make sure there were no...

210
00:21:00,042 --> 00:21:02,084
- What?
- Difficulties.

211
00:21:02,584 --> 00:21:04,624
- Have you got everything?
- No.

212
00:21:04,626 --> 00:21:06,959
I left Oscar Wilde at Newhaven.

213
00:21:07,459 --> 00:21:09,917
And this is the last thing he wrote.

214
00:21:10,876 --> 00:21:12,376
The great letter I told you about.

215
00:21:12,917 --> 00:21:15,165
Make three copies,
send one to Bosie Douglas,

216
00:21:15,167 --> 00:21:18,582
one to me and keep the original
under lock and key.

217
00:21:18,584 --> 00:21:20,457
- Understood?
- Come.

218
00:21:20,459 --> 00:21:21,667
[Oscar laughs]

219
00:22:08,792 --> 00:22:10,207
[Oscar speaks French]

220
00:22:10,209 --> 00:22:11,207
[door]

221
00:22:11,209 --> 00:22:13,084
[footsteps]

222
00:22:14,042 --> 00:22:15,915
[Robbie speaks English]
If anyone asks for your papers,

223
00:22:15,917 --> 00:22:17,582
just say they're in your cabin trunk.

224
00:22:17,584 --> 00:22:18,459
What?

225
00:22:19,334 --> 00:22:20,792
Well, well, well.

226
00:22:21,751 --> 00:22:23,457
Sebastian Melmoth.

227
00:22:23,459 --> 00:22:26,542
- Reggie.
- What an absolute joy!

228
00:22:27,542 --> 00:22:30,165
- Your first time in Dieppe, Sebastian?
- Sorry?

229
00:22:30,167 --> 00:22:31,167
What fun.

230
00:22:31,626 --> 00:22:34,207
Let me introduce you immediately
to our good friend, the manager.

231
00:22:34,209 --> 00:22:36,665
- Melmoth, meet Monsieur Duroc.
- [speaks French].

232
00:22:36,667 --> 00:22:39,334
Look after Mr Melmoth, would you?
Best room, and all that.

233
00:22:39,751 --> 00:22:41,501
Well, I'll leave you to it. You lunching?

234
00:22:42,042 --> 00:22:43,667
Er, yes, probably.

235
00:23:00,584 --> 00:23:02,499
[speaks French]

236
00:23:02,501 --> 00:23:04,917
- [Oscar] My favourite blue.
- [Robbie] The case is from Reggie.

237
00:23:05,834 --> 00:23:06,957
[Oscar gasps]

238
00:23:06,959 --> 00:23:09,790
And here's £800 we raised
while you were in prison.

239
00:23:09,792 --> 00:23:10,707
No!

240
00:23:10,709 --> 00:23:14,415
It'll keep you going until you begin
to work again. Uh! I'll look after this.

241
00:23:14,417 --> 00:23:15,542
[door opens]

242
00:23:17,001 --> 00:23:18,042
Reggie!

243
00:23:20,626 --> 00:23:23,751
- Oh, darling Oscar.
- [Oscar groans]

244
00:23:24,417 --> 00:23:25,584
[Oscar sobs]

245
00:23:31,376 --> 00:23:32,626
How do you like your new name?

246
00:23:33,292 --> 00:23:35,834
Almost as much as I loathe the old one.

247
00:23:36,459 --> 00:23:37,959
[clock chiming]

248
00:23:38,917 --> 00:23:41,209
Ah! Letters.

249
00:23:42,167 --> 00:23:43,251
[Reggie] And look!

250
00:23:43,834 --> 00:23:46,415
No exiled fairy's trousseau is complete

251
00:23:46,417 --> 00:23:48,626
without a signed portrait
of the great widow herself.

252
00:23:49,751 --> 00:23:52,376
You must dance naked before it
at the Jubilee next month.

253
00:23:52,626 --> 00:23:54,459
- It's from him.
- [Robbie] Oscar?

254
00:23:58,001 --> 00:23:59,749
I may as well tell you both now

255
00:23:59,751 --> 00:24:02,584
that I fully intend
to effect a reconciliation with my wife.

256
00:24:03,376 --> 00:24:04,667
If she will have me.

257
00:24:05,459 --> 00:24:09,626
And rest assured, I shall never see
Lord Alfred Douglas again.

258
00:24:10,126 --> 00:24:12,292
That part of my life is behind me.

259
00:24:14,751 --> 00:24:17,874
- [porter speaks French]
- [Oscar speaks French]

260
00:24:17,876 --> 00:24:19,665
[Oscar speaks English]
No, he was absolutely furious.

261
00:24:19,667 --> 00:24:22,957
- [Reggie] Really?
- Come on, Oscar, that's simply not true.

262
00:24:22,959 --> 00:24:24,582
[Oscar] That's the whole point.

263
00:24:24,584 --> 00:24:28,459
From what you say, Oscar, it would seem
that Reading Gaol is an enchanted castle.

264
00:24:28,959 --> 00:24:30,917
With the governor as its presiding elf.

265
00:24:32,584 --> 00:24:33,459
Robbie...

266
00:24:34,459 --> 00:24:37,249
- I met Christ in prison.
- And what was she in for?

267
00:24:37,251 --> 00:24:40,917
Don't joke, Reggie.
In the cell, there is only God and man.

268
00:24:42,042 --> 00:24:45,459
After three days in hell,
Jesus rose from the dead...

269
00:24:46,792 --> 00:24:47,915
broke open his tomb,

270
00:24:47,917 --> 00:24:52,792
discarded his cerements and took his place
forever in the heart of man.

271
00:24:53,834 --> 00:24:57,834
After 700 days of hard labour,
my tomb is opened.

272
00:24:58,084 --> 00:25:01,540
I have tiptoed to the boat train
and am born again,

273
00:25:01,542 --> 00:25:03,584
through him, with him and in France.

274
00:25:05,334 --> 00:25:07,707
Very good, Oscar.
We'll make a Catholic of you yet.

275
00:25:07,709 --> 00:25:09,917
Only unlike dear Jesus, you have luggage.

276
00:25:10,251 --> 00:25:12,832
And £800 to spend
before your ascension into heaven.

277
00:25:12,834 --> 00:25:14,040
Or purgatory.

278
00:25:14,042 --> 00:25:17,665
I'm afraid a delegation of 15 young poets
are arriving from Paris at the weekend

279
00:25:17,667 --> 00:25:19,457
- to welcome you into exile.
- Oh.

280
00:25:19,459 --> 00:25:21,542
- They're bringing a cheque.
- Oh, good.

281
00:25:22,667 --> 00:25:28,209
All I'm saying, Reggie, dear, is I have
lived in the grip of vice and pleasure.

282
00:25:28,917 --> 00:25:30,667
It was wrong and I have paid.

283
00:25:31,417 --> 00:25:34,667
Perhaps the slate is wiped clean,
perhaps it is not, who knows?

284
00:25:35,709 --> 00:25:39,042
At any rate,
I am now ready to return to life.

285
00:26:13,626 --> 00:26:15,040
- [knocking at door]
- [Reggie] You coming down, Oscar?

286
00:26:15,042 --> 00:26:16,876
[Robbie] I need to get my bathing things.

287
00:26:49,084 --> 00:26:54,417
[Oscar]
Constance, my dear, good, beautiful wife.

288
00:26:56,126 --> 00:27:00,334
There is nothing I can ever say that will
undo the great hurt I have caused you.

289
00:27:01,167 --> 00:27:02,542
We both know that.

290
00:27:03,209 --> 00:27:06,249
For two years, I have lain on hard boards,

291
00:27:06,251 --> 00:27:11,834
knelt on cold stone, dined on shame
and thought of little else.

292
00:27:13,042 --> 00:27:16,167
You and my sons are the only things
that tie me to life.

293
00:27:16,501 --> 00:27:17,707
I don't know if...

294
00:27:17,709 --> 00:27:20,917
[Oscar] Were it not for the hope
that one day I would meet you all again...

295
00:27:21,584 --> 00:27:23,209
I don't think I could go on.

296
00:27:24,667 --> 00:27:25,999
Good God.

297
00:27:26,001 --> 00:27:29,624
[Oscar] My desire to live,
dearest Constance, is as intense as ever.

298
00:27:29,626 --> 00:27:31,790
- [laughter]
- Oh, for God's sake.

299
00:27:31,792 --> 00:27:35,832
[Oscar] And though my heart is broken,
hearts are made to be broken.

300
00:27:35,834 --> 00:27:39,042
[speaks French]
Waiter, more champagne, please!

301
00:27:40,126 --> 00:27:43,042
[Oscar speaks English] That is why
God sends sorrow to the world.

302
00:27:43,626 --> 00:27:49,376
Write to me as soon as you can
and tell me that I am still your Oscar.

303
00:27:52,626 --> 00:27:55,501
[raucous laughter and chatter]

304
00:28:11,459 --> 00:28:14,001
[speaks French]

305
00:28:17,084 --> 00:28:20,124
[chanting in French]
Speech! Speech! Speech!

306
00:28:20,126 --> 00:28:23,501
Speech! Speech! [continues]

307
00:28:30,792 --> 00:28:33,334
Speech! Speech!

308
00:28:42,334 --> 00:28:43,959
[cheering]

309
00:28:48,667 --> 00:28:49,709
[laughter]

310
00:29:03,251 --> 00:29:04,292
[groaning]

311
00:29:19,876 --> 00:29:21,209
[laughter]

312
00:29:30,501 --> 00:29:31,834
[laughs]

313
00:29:32,709 --> 00:29:34,667
[cheering]

314
00:29:36,542 --> 00:29:40,540
[speaks French] No, to you!
You are really wonderful!

315
00:29:40,542 --> 00:29:41,790
[speaks French] Wonderful!

316
00:29:41,792 --> 00:29:44,126
[man in distance speaks English]
Come on, boys! Let's have him!

317
00:29:56,251 --> 00:29:57,917
[man] Oh, shot!

318
00:30:03,459 --> 00:30:05,001
[both speak French]

319
00:30:15,792 --> 00:30:17,459
[laughter]

320
00:30:21,542 --> 00:30:24,707
[man in English laughing] You can't bowl!
You just simply can't bowl!

321
00:30:24,709 --> 00:30:25,751
[man #2] No, you can't.

322
00:30:30,376 --> 00:30:32,457
Get away from me!
I don't want to catch anything.

323
00:30:32,459 --> 00:30:35,165
[laughter]

324
00:30:35,167 --> 00:30:36,499
[man] Er, coffee.

325
00:30:36,501 --> 00:30:38,501
- Six café au lait.
- [speaks French]

326
00:30:39,042 --> 00:30:40,084
[speaks English] Go away.

327
00:30:44,167 --> 00:30:46,751
Not wearing
your silk stockings today, Oscar?

328
00:30:49,876 --> 00:30:53,126
- [effeminate voice] Darling boy.
- Yes, my Hyacinth.

329
00:30:54,542 --> 00:30:57,834
Oh, remind me to change
the sheets today, darling boy.

330
00:30:58,167 --> 00:30:59,374
Your slim, gilt cheeks

331
00:30:59,376 --> 00:31:02,207
have left a shit stain all the way down
your side of the bed.

332
00:31:02,209 --> 00:31:03,707
[wild laughter]

333
00:31:03,709 --> 00:31:04,957
You go too far, sir!

334
00:31:04,959 --> 00:31:08,334
No you go too far, madam.

335
00:31:08,959 --> 00:31:12,082
Garçon, there's a piece of shit
on the pavement. Get rid of it!

336
00:31:12,084 --> 00:31:14,376
[Reggie] Oscar! There you are!

337
00:31:15,751 --> 00:31:17,917
We're late. They're waiting for us.

338
00:31:28,626 --> 00:31:29,709
[laughing]

339
00:31:31,959 --> 00:31:33,251
Are you all right, Oscar?

340
00:31:33,667 --> 00:31:34,709
No, not really.

341
00:31:35,709 --> 00:31:36,957
Let's go back to the hotel.

342
00:31:36,959 --> 00:31:38,917
[laughter continues]

343
00:31:40,167 --> 00:31:41,084
Let's follow them.

344
00:31:43,709 --> 00:31:46,874
- [whooping and cheering]
- [Robbie] Christ, they're following us.

345
00:31:46,876 --> 00:31:50,374
Wait for me! I want to cover you in honey
and lick it off again!

346
00:31:50,376 --> 00:31:51,584
This is intolerable.

347
00:31:52,876 --> 00:31:53,876
This way.

348
00:31:55,751 --> 00:31:59,292
[church bell ringing]

349
00:32:01,251 --> 00:32:03,209
[men jeering and laughing]

350
00:32:04,834 --> 00:32:06,501
Oh, look! Sticks, sticks!

351
00:32:07,709 --> 00:32:09,792
[whooping and jeering]

352
00:32:11,084 --> 00:32:13,167
- This is better than hunting!
- Come on!

353
00:32:17,334 --> 00:32:18,834
- [church bell]
- [Robbie] Quick! A church!

354
00:32:24,834 --> 00:32:27,459
[panting]

355
00:32:35,084 --> 00:32:36,834
- What's the matter, Oscar?
- [students laugh]

356
00:32:38,709 --> 00:32:41,874
[yells] What more do you want?

357
00:32:41,876 --> 00:32:43,251
What more do you want?

358
00:32:44,042 --> 00:32:45,334
Get your hands off me!

359
00:32:45,876 --> 00:32:48,415
You've taken everything, you little shit!
Everything!

360
00:32:48,417 --> 00:32:51,124
My family, my work, my freedom!
Everything!

361
00:32:51,126 --> 00:32:52,542
There's nothing left to take!

362
00:32:53,334 --> 00:32:57,126
What are you gonna do, kill me?
I'm already dead, you cunt!

363
00:32:57,876 --> 00:32:58,751
Now, go!

364
00:32:59,751 --> 00:33:02,290
The natural habitat of the hypocrite
is England.

365
00:33:02,292 --> 00:33:05,001
Go back there, leave me in peace! Go!

366
00:33:11,084 --> 00:33:12,667
[laughter resumes]

367
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:24,876
I didn't know you had it in you.

368
00:33:28,542 --> 00:33:29,584
[panting] I don't.

369
00:33:30,292 --> 00:33:31,542
I've nothing in me.

370
00:33:32,417 --> 00:33:33,626
Not even fear.

371
00:33:42,959 --> 00:33:46,207
[Oscar] With no warning,
I was transferred one afternoon

372
00:33:46,209 --> 00:33:48,542
from Wandsworth to Reading Gaol.

373
00:33:49,751 --> 00:33:51,790
In broad daylight, by train,

374
00:33:51,792 --> 00:33:54,709
shackled to a warder
like a performing bear.

375
00:33:55,959 --> 00:34:01,792
That journey was the most exquisite of
the tortures Her Majesty contrived for me.

376
00:34:03,209 --> 00:34:06,501
At Clapham Junction,
we had to wait for a connexion.

377
00:34:07,334 --> 00:34:10,459
Half an hour, my dears, on platform two.

378
00:34:11,709 --> 00:34:14,582
Sadly, my public had not forgotten me.

379
00:34:14,584 --> 00:34:16,207
[excited chatter]

380
00:34:16,209 --> 00:34:19,251
At first, they simply giggled and pointed.

381
00:34:20,334 --> 00:34:21,915
And then a man began to shout.

382
00:34:21,917 --> 00:34:24,499
It's Oscar bleeding Wilde!

383
00:34:24,501 --> 00:34:27,124
He paced up and down,
wagging his finger...

384
00:34:27,126 --> 00:34:28,207
Backs to the wall, boys!

385
00:34:28,209 --> 00:34:32,790
...as he catalogued my crimes
to his growing and spellbound audience.

386
00:34:32,792 --> 00:34:36,751
We don't want any of that love,
but don't speak its moniker here!

387
00:34:36,959 --> 00:34:41,001
At each twist,
they moaned and swayed as one...

388
00:34:41,417 --> 00:34:44,834
spitting and screaming,
hungering for my blood.

389
00:34:45,876 --> 00:34:46,792
And I...

390
00:34:49,209 --> 00:34:50,459
I saw the future.

391
00:34:52,542 --> 00:34:54,626
It was the end of all peace.

392
00:34:57,751 --> 00:34:59,417
I shall see it on my deathbed.

393
00:35:03,042 --> 00:35:04,459
[both speak French]

394
00:35:16,251 --> 00:35:18,584
Oh, dear. It's from the Chief of Police.

395
00:35:19,167 --> 00:35:20,209
You read it.

396
00:35:21,834 --> 00:35:24,626
It seems he's to be deported
if his behaviour doesn't improve.

397
00:35:24,959 --> 00:35:28,207
Our celebration of young French poets
didn't go down very well in the voisinage.

398
00:35:28,209 --> 00:35:29,874
Well, for God's sake, don't tell him now.

399
00:35:29,876 --> 00:35:32,542
In his current mood,
he's likely to set fire to the hotel.

400
00:35:33,167 --> 00:35:34,667
Thank Christ I'm leaving tomorrow.

401
00:35:37,667 --> 00:35:38,626
Be careful, Robbie.

402
00:35:39,501 --> 00:35:40,584
He'll eat you.

403
00:35:41,792 --> 00:35:42,876
Can't help it.

404
00:35:44,917 --> 00:35:46,126
Goodnight, dear boy.

405
00:36:14,126 --> 00:36:15,292
[speaks French]

406
00:36:33,626 --> 00:36:35,167
[Robbie] I read your letter from prison.

407
00:36:37,751 --> 00:36:39,292
It's really rather marvellous.

408
00:36:40,584 --> 00:36:42,376
You should call it De Profundis.

409
00:36:43,542 --> 00:36:45,959
Well, it was written from the depths.

410
00:36:46,751 --> 00:36:48,957
Bosie will probably try to kill you
when he reads it.

411
00:36:48,959 --> 00:36:52,834
I wrote some harsh letters to you, Robbie.
I'm sorry.

412
00:36:53,167 --> 00:36:55,667
- You wrote harsh letters to us all.
- I know.

413
00:36:59,709 --> 00:37:01,376
It's hard to explain the feeling...

414
00:37:03,334 --> 00:37:07,292
of utter impotence
and desperation in there.

415
00:37:08,667 --> 00:37:10,084
One becomes a Fury.

416
00:37:10,417 --> 00:37:13,501
One never speaks.
One simply weeps and has diarrhoea.

417
00:37:13,792 --> 00:37:15,292
Result: lunacy.

418
00:37:19,001 --> 00:37:20,084
Do you forgive me?

419
00:37:20,792 --> 00:37:22,957
Who'd have thought that afternoon we met,

420
00:37:22,959 --> 00:37:25,376
fifteen years ago, that here we'd be?

421
00:37:26,542 --> 00:37:29,834
Lepers dining under a full moon
in a foreign hotel.

422
00:37:30,667 --> 00:37:32,001
It's quite romantic, in a way.

423
00:37:33,667 --> 00:37:35,667
Except that you, dear boy,
are not a leper.

424
00:37:35,917 --> 00:37:40,167
Tomorrow morning, you will blow away
on the sea breeze, destination Dover.

425
00:37:41,751 --> 00:37:45,292
As to who would've thought...
We met in a public lavatory, Bobby dear.

426
00:37:45,709 --> 00:37:46,917
And we ended up here.

427
00:37:47,792 --> 00:37:50,584
You wouldn't have to be the Sybil
of Mortimer Street to join the dots.

428
00:37:52,334 --> 00:37:53,626
I was going to a matinee.

429
00:37:54,542 --> 00:37:55,834
And I was going to my club.

430
00:37:57,001 --> 00:37:59,417
A different corner, a minute later...

431
00:38:00,126 --> 00:38:02,749
another play and who knows,

432
00:38:02,751 --> 00:38:05,542
perhaps I should be the poet laureate,
but I doubt it.

433
00:38:06,501 --> 00:38:09,749
Intimacy in the sewers,
followed by fantasy in the Gods.

434
00:38:09,751 --> 00:38:11,584
The rest is silence.

435
00:38:11,834 --> 00:38:13,959
[humming]

436
00:38:44,542 --> 00:38:47,126
[Oscar] He did not wear his scarlet coat

437
00:38:48,042 --> 00:38:50,334
For blood and wine are red

438
00:38:51,751 --> 00:38:54,292
And blood and wine were on his hands

439
00:38:55,084 --> 00:38:57,209
When they found him with the dead

440
00:38:58,167 --> 00:39:00,834
The poor dead woman whom he loved

441
00:39:02,001 --> 00:39:05,209
And murdered in her bed

442
00:39:06,917 --> 00:39:07,999
[chuckles]

443
00:39:08,001 --> 00:39:09,209
Superb.

444
00:39:11,751 --> 00:39:14,832
As the boys' guardian,
I can't impress upon you too strongly

445
00:39:14,834 --> 00:39:18,626
my alarm at your being in contact
with your husband at all.

446
00:39:19,209 --> 00:39:21,084
- Mrs Holland.
- Mrs Wilde.

447
00:39:22,417 --> 00:39:23,584
Constance.

448
00:39:25,167 --> 00:39:26,957
We have been friends for many years.

449
00:39:26,959 --> 00:39:29,876
I am the executor
of your grandfather's estate.

450
00:39:30,917 --> 00:39:34,415
- You must trust us. Please sign.
- [boys shouting outside]

451
00:39:34,417 --> 00:39:35,499
[bangs window]

452
00:39:35,501 --> 00:39:37,209
Cyril and Vyvyan, stop fighting!

453
00:39:42,959 --> 00:39:47,542
Be extremely cautious
when you reply to his letter.

454
00:39:47,917 --> 00:39:52,917
I feel sure that if I was to see him once,
I would forgive him everything.

455
00:39:53,126 --> 00:39:56,626
Precisely, my dear, and then you would be
stuck here in Heidelberg forever.

456
00:39:57,626 --> 00:39:59,417
We may go to Genoa in the spring.

457
00:40:00,917 --> 00:40:04,542
A surgeon there thinks he might be able
to do something for my wretched back.

458
00:40:04,917 --> 00:40:06,084
You must wait.

459
00:40:06,751 --> 00:40:08,167
[Mr Howard] Think of your children.

460
00:40:08,459 --> 00:40:12,334
He must prove to you that he will change,
that he can.

461
00:40:28,209 --> 00:40:30,374
[Oscar] Since you left,
I've been completely alone.

462
00:40:30,376 --> 00:40:32,124
[Robbie] Oscar, that's simply not true.

463
00:40:32,126 --> 00:40:33,790
My wife has written me a revolting letter,

464
00:40:33,792 --> 00:40:36,790
in which she tells me that perhaps
she will see me at some later date,

465
00:40:36,792 --> 00:40:39,709
but not in the foreseeable future,
and the boys probably never.

466
00:40:40,167 --> 00:40:42,749
Quite frankly, Oscar,
I'm amazed you should imagine

467
00:40:42,751 --> 00:40:44,667
that Constance
would want to see you at all.

468
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:48,874
You wrote her one letter
full of your usual perfumed shit

469
00:40:48,876 --> 00:40:50,832
and you suppose everything
you've put her through

470
00:40:50,834 --> 00:40:53,082
for the past few years
can simply be forgotten.

471
00:40:53,084 --> 00:40:56,499
Robbie, if you've come here to upset me,
I suggest you return to Dieppe

472
00:40:56,501 --> 00:40:59,582
where you'll find a train that leaves at
three minutes past the hour, every hour.

473
00:40:59,584 --> 00:41:02,915
I'm not here to upset you, Oscar.
I just want you to be reasonable.

474
00:41:02,917 --> 00:41:05,624
Bosie, whom you all deplore,
at least offers to help me.

475
00:41:05,626 --> 00:41:09,417
Oh, really? How, Oscar?
How is Bosie gonna help you?

476
00:41:10,417 --> 00:41:11,667
Bosie loves me, Robbie.

477
00:41:12,501 --> 00:41:14,626
In a way that you could never understand.

478
00:41:15,334 --> 00:41:17,959
At any rate, he's coming here next week.

479
00:41:22,876 --> 00:41:24,917
Then you will never see Constance again!

480
00:41:25,542 --> 00:41:26,790
You seem to forget, Oscar,

481
00:41:26,792 --> 00:41:30,834
that despite everything you've put her
through, she still allows you £4 a week.

482
00:41:31,334 --> 00:41:35,959
That £4, Oscar, is dependant
upon Bosie's absence from your life.

483
00:41:36,501 --> 00:41:39,040
But doubtless he'll settle money on you
when he gets here,

484
00:41:39,042 --> 00:41:40,540
if his mother's given him any.

485
00:41:40,542 --> 00:41:43,290
[yells] I'm all alone! I have no one!
Why are you being so harsh?

486
00:41:43,292 --> 00:41:45,584
You have me, Oscar! I am here!

487
00:41:48,459 --> 00:41:49,501
But it's not enough, is it?

488
00:41:51,001 --> 00:41:53,417
Why is it not enough, Oscar?

489
00:42:00,876 --> 00:42:02,042
Well, frankly, my dear...

490
00:42:02,459 --> 00:42:05,417
you're not really grand enough
and you're certainly not rough enough.

491
00:42:05,626 --> 00:42:07,251
Let's get a drink, for God's sake.

492
00:42:07,501 --> 00:42:10,167
And don't be cross, Robbie.
You weren't built for rage.

493
00:42:10,626 --> 00:42:15,665
I went on the most marvellous pilgrimage
yesterday to Notre-Dame de Liesse.

494
00:42:15,667 --> 00:42:18,582
Did you know liesse
is the mediaeval word for happiness?

495
00:42:18,584 --> 00:42:20,582
- [Robbie] No, I didn't.
- Well, it is.

496
00:42:20,584 --> 00:42:22,042
I go there every day.

497
00:42:22,501 --> 00:42:26,001
It takes all of ten minutes to get to it
and just as many to get back.

498
00:42:26,709 --> 00:42:29,790
The priest, who is charming
and terribly attractive,

499
00:42:29,792 --> 00:42:31,334
has become a great friend.

500
00:42:32,209 --> 00:42:34,542
Yesterday, he showed me all his vestments.

501
00:42:35,001 --> 00:42:38,917
He looked particularly captivating
in his martyr's garb.

502
00:42:39,667 --> 00:42:42,376
Rose dorée streaked with blood.

503
00:42:46,126 --> 00:42:47,209
[groans]

504
00:42:54,209 --> 00:42:56,001
[gulls in distance]

505
00:43:01,959 --> 00:43:03,501
[snoring]

506
00:43:12,709 --> 00:43:13,667
[door]

507
00:43:30,834 --> 00:43:32,876
[priest prays in French]

508
00:43:39,417 --> 00:43:41,876
[continues praying in French]

509
00:43:52,376 --> 00:43:54,209
[continues praying]

510
00:43:56,459 --> 00:43:58,165
[Oscar speaks English] You see, Robbie.

511
00:43:58,167 --> 00:44:01,042
Suffering is nothing when there is love.

512
00:44:03,042 --> 00:44:05,334
Love is everything.

513
00:44:31,584 --> 00:44:33,542
[indistinct chatter]

514
00:44:38,459 --> 00:44:39,501
[whispering] Bosie.

515
00:44:42,167 --> 00:44:44,959
♩ The boy I love ♩

516
00:44:45,667 --> 00:44:48,126

♩ There he is, can't you see... ♩

519
00:44:57,001 --> 00:45:00,292
- [Bosie] Oscar.
- [Oscar] ♩ Waving his handkerchief ♩

[sobbing]

523
00:45:09,084 --> 00:45:11,792
Oh, come on, Oscar,
it's not like you to have nothing to say.

524
00:45:15,959 --> 00:45:16,959
Oscar.

525
00:45:17,917 --> 00:45:19,084
Oh, Bosie!

526
00:45:25,126 --> 00:45:27,040
- Come on.
- [Oscar sobs]

527
00:45:27,042 --> 00:45:29,082
- It's all right.
- [sobs]

528
00:45:29,084 --> 00:45:30,376
Come on.

529
00:45:32,084 --> 00:45:33,292
Come on, let's sit down.

530
00:45:37,001 --> 00:45:38,834
[train whistle blaring]

531
00:45:53,209 --> 00:45:55,334
[laughter turns to crying]

532
00:45:59,501 --> 00:46:01,876
- It's all right, shh.
- Oh, thank you.

533
00:46:02,959 --> 00:46:04,167
Oh, how are you?

534
00:46:13,126 --> 00:46:14,832
[laughter continues]

535
00:46:14,834 --> 00:46:18,332
[Oscar] Oh, Bosie,
it is so lovely to see you!

536
00:46:18,334 --> 00:46:20,709
- Oh, you too.
- Anyway, that night...

537
00:46:27,709 --> 00:46:30,084
Bosie, about that letter
I sent you from prison.

538
00:46:31,084 --> 00:46:32,709
I never got it. What did it say?

539
00:46:33,876 --> 00:46:36,459
Oh. Nothing much. Huh.

540
00:46:37,501 --> 00:46:38,959
It was just my testament.

541
00:46:40,376 --> 00:46:41,876
De Profundis.

542
00:46:43,626 --> 00:46:46,584
Oh, Oscar, you silly old fairy. Come here.

543
00:46:52,751 --> 00:46:54,376
I am my own Judas.

544
00:46:55,542 --> 00:46:56,459
I need a drink.

545
00:46:57,542 --> 00:46:58,876
[clears throat] Come on.

546
00:47:02,167 --> 00:47:05,292
- What are your plans?
- What plans can I have?

547
00:47:06,292 --> 00:47:08,499
The doom of Melmoth
is to wander the earth,

548
00:47:08,501 --> 00:47:10,084
seeking shelter where he can.

549
00:47:11,251 --> 00:47:13,376
- [Oscar] I may go south.
- [Bosie] Naples.

550
00:47:14,084 --> 00:47:16,584
- See it and die.
- If only it were that simple.

551
00:47:17,584 --> 00:47:19,751
- Have you written anything?
- Mm.

552
00:47:21,376 --> 00:47:24,042
A ballad about prison.
It's almost finished.

553
00:47:24,501 --> 00:47:25,709
Rather good, actually.

554
00:47:27,584 --> 00:47:30,584
Oscar, let's run away.
Somewhere no one could find us.

555
00:47:31,626 --> 00:47:33,042
Naples, in fact.

556
00:47:36,042 --> 00:47:39,667
[whispering] Dear boy,
you don't know what you're saying.

557
00:47:43,751 --> 00:47:46,290
I'm starving. Let's order, for God's sake.

558
00:47:46,292 --> 00:47:48,709
[Train rumbles past]

559
00:47:50,709 --> 00:47:54,584
Why do we huddle without the city walls
at a station hotel?

560
00:47:55,251 --> 00:47:57,792
[speaks French]

561
00:47:58,251 --> 00:48:01,626
[speaks French]

562
00:48:02,167 --> 00:48:04,584
[speaks English]
Because I am a ruined man...

563
00:48:07,042 --> 00:48:08,540
if you came with me to Naples,

564
00:48:08,542 --> 00:48:11,501
the world would become a picture
you could look at but never touch.

565
00:48:13,209 --> 00:48:14,626
Do you love me that much, Bosie?

566
00:48:16,876 --> 00:48:19,165
But anyway, we have no money.

567
00:48:19,167 --> 00:48:22,707
Oh, money. Oscar, for Christ's sake,
my mother's got masses.

568
00:48:22,709 --> 00:48:23,667
[Oscar chuckles]

569
00:48:24,459 --> 00:48:26,542
[Bosie laughs] What are you laughing at?

570
00:48:27,042 --> 00:48:29,459
Nothing. Just something Robbie said.

571
00:48:30,084 --> 00:48:32,667
Robbie's been against me
since the day we met. He's...

572
00:48:33,917 --> 00:48:35,376
riddled with jealousy.

573
00:48:35,751 --> 00:48:37,126
Robbie loves me, Bosie.

574
00:48:38,792 --> 00:48:40,876
In a way that you could never understand.

575
00:48:44,917 --> 00:48:46,042
Shall we take a room?

576
00:48:50,417 --> 00:48:51,251
Hmm?

577
00:49:09,751 --> 00:49:10,834
[train whistle blaring]

578
00:49:17,709 --> 00:49:20,834
[Oscar] My going back to Bosie
was psychologically inevitable.

579
00:49:21,834 --> 00:49:24,751
I cannot live
without the atmosphere of love.

580
00:49:25,459 --> 00:49:29,292
"I must love and be loved,
whatever the price I pay for it."

581
00:49:30,626 --> 00:49:32,417
[train whistle continues]

582
00:49:41,334 --> 00:49:43,501
[Oscar] I dare say
what I have done is fatal.

583
00:49:44,126 --> 00:49:48,624
I love him as I always did.
With a sense of tragedy and ruin.

584
00:49:48,626 --> 00:49:50,251
[distant screaming]

585
00:49:51,292 --> 00:49:54,001
- [Bosie] Oscar!
- Oh, God.

586
00:49:58,292 --> 00:50:00,832
- [screaming] Oscar!
- Bosie?

587
00:50:00,834 --> 00:50:02,834
[Bosie] Listen to me, you little...

588
00:50:03,042 --> 00:50:05,207
It's under my chair, it's under my chair!

589
00:50:05,209 --> 00:50:07,624
There it is! Get it! [Bosie screams]

590
00:50:07,626 --> 00:50:11,499
It's behind the cupboard! Get it!
Oscar, there are fucking rats everywhere!

591
00:50:11,501 --> 00:50:14,542
- For God's sake, Bosie, calm down.
- It was in the fucking bed, Oscar!

592
00:50:15,042 --> 00:50:16,292
Kill it! Kill it!

593
00:50:16,792 --> 00:50:18,667
[Oscar] It's only a rat,
don't worry about it.

594
00:50:20,042 --> 00:50:21,665
Bosie, you're completely hysterical.

595
00:50:21,667 --> 00:50:25,376
Get that fucking thing away from me.
You keep that fucking away from me!

596
00:50:25,876 --> 00:50:27,209
[speaks Italian]

597
00:50:29,251 --> 00:50:32,417
[speaks English] This place is
fucking ridiculous! Fucking ridiculous!

598
00:50:32,917 --> 00:50:34,042
[Constance groans]

599
00:50:36,334 --> 00:50:39,999
I forbid it. I forbid him
to live with that infernal man.

600
00:50:40,001 --> 00:50:43,124
- There was nothing anyone could do.
- Well, I shall not pay his allowance.

601
00:50:43,126 --> 00:50:45,501
- You can tell him when you see him.
- That's unlikely, madam.

602
00:50:46,001 --> 00:50:48,084
I've resigned as his literary executor.

603
00:50:49,626 --> 00:50:51,042
He doesn't know you're here, I presume.

604
00:50:52,501 --> 00:50:53,334
He does not.

605
00:50:55,292 --> 00:50:56,751
Why do you mind so much?

606
00:51:06,042 --> 00:51:09,126
They told me to be wary of you, Mr Ross.
They say you can't be trusted.

607
00:51:11,459 --> 00:51:13,376
But we're the same, you and I.

608
00:51:15,709 --> 00:51:17,459
He's hurt you too, hasn't he?

609
00:51:23,667 --> 00:51:27,376
Oscar destroyed himself
and everyone around him.

610
00:51:30,042 --> 00:51:32,709
Look at me, Mr Ross. Just look at me.

611
00:51:36,001 --> 00:51:36,876
He's killed me.

612
00:51:45,042 --> 00:51:46,667
Someone walking over my grave.

613
00:51:50,042 --> 00:51:51,457
[Oscar] Our dear friend, the witch,

614
00:51:51,459 --> 00:51:54,040
is coming back on Friday
to finish things off.

615
00:51:54,042 --> 00:51:54,957
[Bosie] Oh, God.

616
00:51:54,959 --> 00:51:57,499
But her spells and smells
appear to have worked.

617
00:51:57,501 --> 00:52:00,751
- [Bosie] About time.
- The good news is there are no more rats.

618
00:52:01,417 --> 00:52:03,582
The bad news is
my allowance is being cut off.

619
00:52:03,584 --> 00:52:04,832
[speaks Italian]

620
00:52:04,834 --> 00:52:07,207
[speaks English] Do you always have
to talk about money during lunch?

621
00:52:07,209 --> 00:52:10,626
Obviously, I should prefer to discuss
serving techniques with our waiter.

622
00:52:12,626 --> 00:52:14,499
We must make some sort of plan, Bosie.

623
00:52:14,501 --> 00:52:17,832
I came here at your invitation.
You said you had funds, you do not.

624
00:52:17,834 --> 00:52:19,332
I accept that.

625
00:52:19,334 --> 00:52:21,959
Why should a perfectly divine leopard
change its spots?

626
00:52:22,292 --> 00:52:24,665
But the fact remains we have, what, £6?

627
00:52:24,667 --> 00:52:25,709
Five.

628
00:52:26,667 --> 00:52:28,126
I had to pay last week's rent up.

629
00:52:29,709 --> 00:52:31,542
Careful, his mother is watching.

630
00:52:33,167 --> 00:52:34,876
Yes, and she's thrilled.

631
00:52:36,834 --> 00:52:40,417
Don't be such a bore.
Oscar, what's happened to you?

632
00:52:42,084 --> 00:52:44,959
- We have £6 a week from my mother.
- [sighs]

633
00:52:45,334 --> 00:52:48,334
We have £100
for the libretto you will never write.

634
00:52:48,959 --> 00:52:51,915
We have studs and cuff-links,
friends and relations,

635
00:52:51,917 --> 00:52:53,457
and, above all, we still have each other.

636
00:52:53,459 --> 00:52:54,376
[cork pops]

637
00:52:55,334 --> 00:52:57,667
One of us could eat the other
and make a tent of the hide.

638
00:52:57,917 --> 00:52:59,084
For God's sake, stop worrying.

639
00:53:12,667 --> 00:53:14,251
[speaks Italian]

640
00:53:16,042 --> 00:53:18,334
[speaks English] You always talk to boys
as though they were blood stock.

641
00:53:18,792 --> 00:53:21,917
You should tell them to lift their hoofs
and open their mouths.

642
00:53:26,584 --> 00:53:27,917
And then thrash 'em.

643
00:53:30,084 --> 00:53:32,540
I need to make sure
they don't fall at the first fence.

644
00:53:32,542 --> 00:53:36,042
[all singing in Italian]

645
00:54:08,667 --> 00:54:10,540
[tuts, taps skin]

646
00:54:10,542 --> 00:54:11,584
Go on, dear, fuck him.

647
00:54:39,751 --> 00:54:41,376
[birds chirping]

648
00:54:51,584 --> 00:54:52,626
[Oscar] Oh.

649
00:54:53,376 --> 00:54:54,709
Isn't it beautiful?

650
00:54:56,417 --> 00:54:59,376
You see? I can make you happy.

651
00:55:01,334 --> 00:55:02,334
Yes.

652
00:55:03,376 --> 00:55:04,376
You can.

653
00:55:06,751 --> 00:55:08,042
No more anxiety.

654
00:55:10,001 --> 00:55:12,334
No more ambition. No time.

655
00:55:13,584 --> 00:55:15,376
Just now.

656
00:55:16,959 --> 00:55:18,959
Fisherman diving for pearls.

657
00:55:19,917 --> 00:55:21,959
An old sheep with his butcher.

658
00:55:22,834 --> 00:55:24,917
A bobbing boat on a silver sea.

659
00:55:26,251 --> 00:55:27,459
And scandal...

660
00:55:30,959 --> 00:55:32,834
just a small black dot...

661
00:55:34,626 --> 00:55:36,542
against the edge of dawn.

662
00:55:38,792 --> 00:55:41,126
[no sound except wind]

663
00:56:06,084 --> 00:56:09,001
[Oscar] Yet each man kills the thing
he loves

664
00:56:09,959 --> 00:56:11,834
By each, let this be heard

665
00:56:12,792 --> 00:56:14,584
Some do it with a bitter look

666
00:56:15,959 --> 00:56:17,751
Some with a flattering word

667
00:56:18,792 --> 00:56:20,709
The coward does it with a kiss

668
00:56:22,126 --> 00:56:24,209
The brave man with a sword

669
00:56:25,876 --> 00:56:26,834
It's finished

670
00:56:38,959 --> 00:56:41,542
Some kill their love when they are young

671
00:56:42,292 --> 00:56:43,792
And some when they are old

672
00:56:44,709 --> 00:56:47,667
Some strangle with the hands of Lust

673
00:56:48,292 --> 00:56:49,959
Some with the hands of Gold

674
00:56:51,251 --> 00:56:53,834
The kindest use a knife, because

675
00:56:54,376 --> 00:56:56,584
The dead so soon grow cold

676
00:56:58,209 --> 00:57:00,709
Some love too little, some too long

677
00:57:01,167 --> 00:57:03,334
Some sell and others buy

678
00:57:04,126 --> 00:57:06,582
Some do the deed with many tears

679
00:57:06,584 --> 00:57:08,667
And some without a sigh

680
00:57:09,626 --> 00:57:12,459
For each man kills the thing he loves

681
00:57:13,251 --> 00:57:15,751
Yet each man does not die

682
00:57:18,709 --> 00:57:20,457
[Oscar] Oh, look, here we go. Bosie.

683
00:57:20,459 --> 00:57:22,501
[shouting in Italian]

684
00:57:32,042 --> 00:57:33,959
[speaks English]
Is Father all alone in the hospital?

685
00:57:34,209 --> 00:57:35,751
No, of course not, darling.

686
00:57:36,834 --> 00:57:38,832
At Christmas,
all the patients have a party.

687

00:58:17,626 --> 00:58:21,126
♩ Deep and crisp and even ♩

695
00:58:21,501 --> 00:58:24,042
- ♩ Brightly shone the moon that night... ♩
- [door opens, woman shouts]

696
00:58:24,376 --> 00:58:25,376
[baby crying]

697
00:58:26,126 --> 00:58:26,959
Felice!

698
00:58:49,126 --> 00:58:49,959
Huh?

699
00:58:55,792 --> 00:58:57,084
[baby crying]

700
00:59:45,001 --> 00:59:47,167
- [baby crying]
- [speaks Italian]

701
00:59:47,626 --> 00:59:49,292
[laughter]

702
00:59:50,917 --> 00:59:52,459
[Constance speaks English]
This one's from Papa.

703
00:59:54,126 --> 00:59:55,915
[Cyril] Vyvyan doesn't know who Papa is.

704
00:59:55,917 --> 00:59:57,374
Yes, I do!

705
00:59:57,376 --> 00:59:58,751
[Felice shouting in Italian]

706
01:00:06,792 --> 01:00:08,334
[Oscar speaks English]
What an earth is going on?

707
01:00:08,834 --> 01:00:12,624
One can run up a bill for everything
in this swamp except sex, it seems.

708
01:00:12,626 --> 01:00:15,584
There's never credit where love is
concerned, Bosie. You should know that.

709
01:00:21,834 --> 01:00:27,542
[speaks Italian]

710
01:00:28,417 --> 01:00:29,415
[Oscar sighs]

711
01:00:29,417 --> 01:00:32,334
- [Bosie yells]
- [speaks English] No, no! Right, stop it!

712
01:00:33,209 --> 01:00:34,667
Be silent! Stop!

713
01:00:39,667 --> 01:00:41,167
- Oh, what bollocks.
- I said be quiet!

714
01:00:53,459 --> 01:00:54,751
[speaks Italian]

715
01:01:20,167 --> 01:01:22,167
[Bosie speaks English]
What the hell did you give him that for?

716
01:01:24,167 --> 01:01:25,667
A foolish question, I know.

717
01:01:26,917 --> 01:01:29,751
- Why didn't you just pay him?
- With what?

718
01:01:30,209 --> 01:01:31,792
[sighs] Money.

719
01:01:33,084 --> 01:01:34,334
I haven't got any.

720
01:01:35,834 --> 01:01:37,709
What do you mean, you haven't got any?

721
01:01:43,959 --> 01:01:44,792
Well?

722
01:01:46,626 --> 01:01:51,084
- My mother has stopped my allowance.
- What? When did this happen?

723
01:01:52,251 --> 01:01:53,334
Oh, Christ!

724
01:01:53,626 --> 01:01:55,834
I was waiting
for the right moment to tell you.

725
01:01:56,834 --> 01:01:59,459
In the meantime, you imagined
that wretched boy would fuck you for fun.

726
01:01:59,667 --> 01:02:03,334
- And why not?
- Oh, your vanity is extraordinary.

727
01:02:04,251 --> 01:02:06,624
The only person who ever fucked you
for fun was me,

728
01:02:06,626 --> 01:02:08,667
and look where it got me, the dock.

729
01:02:08,917 --> 01:02:11,167
- [Bosie] What?
- Nothing.

730
01:02:12,376 --> 01:02:14,209
So, that's it, then!

731
01:02:14,542 --> 01:02:16,626
We appear to have come
to the end of the road.

732
01:02:17,626 --> 01:02:20,501
- We're penniless.
- Well, not exactly.

733
01:02:22,251 --> 01:02:23,251
Oh?

734
01:02:25,667 --> 01:02:28,459
You could have £200
and I could keep my allowance.

735
01:02:29,292 --> 01:02:30,167
If?

736
01:02:39,667 --> 01:02:40,792
[Bosie] Well...

737
01:02:45,334 --> 01:02:47,874
You see, what mama and the family
really can't stomach

738
01:02:47,876 --> 01:02:49,584
is the fact that we live together.

739
01:02:51,667 --> 01:02:57,499
She says that if we agree to separate,
then she will reinstate my allowance

740
01:02:57,501 --> 01:03:00,957
and very generously, I think,
give you a substantial...

741
01:03:00,959 --> 01:03:02,042
Tip!

742
01:03:08,126 --> 01:03:09,626
For services rendered...

743
01:03:10,626 --> 01:03:11,792
to the family.

744
01:03:12,751 --> 01:03:16,001
Will I get a good reference?
Can I keep my cottage?

745
01:03:16,751 --> 01:03:19,584
God, you all make me sick!

746
01:03:20,001 --> 01:03:25,126
And your sanctimonious mother
thinks I can be bought off for £200.

747
01:03:25,834 --> 01:03:28,792
Your family has destroyed me,
stripped me of everything!

748
01:03:29,834 --> 01:03:31,251
Not least my genius.

749
01:03:31,584 --> 01:03:33,876
And all for £200!

750
01:03:35,626 --> 01:03:36,584
Genius?

751
01:03:37,417 --> 01:03:39,915
- You destroyed yourself, Oscar!
- Oh, fuck off!

752
01:03:39,917 --> 01:03:42,834
Because underneath the pose,
there was no substance!

753
01:03:43,292 --> 01:03:47,082
One good comedy,
three pot-boiling melodramas

754
01:03:47,084 --> 01:03:49,876
and those ridiculous
fucking fairy storeys.

755
01:03:50,459 --> 01:03:54,292
That's all you find when you scrape away
the powder and the pancake.

756
01:03:54,542 --> 01:03:58,582
Your success was interesting,
your hunger for it perversely fascinating,

757
01:03:58,584 --> 01:04:02,334
but you, my dear... never were.

758
01:04:02,584 --> 01:04:04,957
You found me interesting
when you were faced with blackmail!

759
01:04:04,959 --> 01:04:06,624
Oh, you were in your element.

760
01:04:06,626 --> 01:04:10,334
You saw the green baize door swing open
and you scuttled through it.

761
01:04:10,917 --> 01:04:13,290
You are talking drivel. My father...

762
01:04:13,292 --> 01:04:16,834
Was a drunken groper
with dirty fingernails, just like his son.

763
01:04:17,209 --> 01:04:20,582
Whereas your father
is an assassin at large!

764
01:04:20,584 --> 01:04:22,334
Oh, come on, Oscar, you're still alive.

765
01:04:25,792 --> 01:04:26,667
Barely.

766
01:04:27,667 --> 01:04:29,459
For God's sake, stop acting.

767
01:04:31,667 --> 01:04:32,917
[softly] It's strange.

768
01:04:34,126 --> 01:04:36,126
I've never really looked at you before.

769
01:04:37,584 --> 01:04:39,667
I gave you my whole life.

770
01:04:40,584 --> 01:04:45,001
And now I see it before me,
daubed in shit.

771
01:04:48,209 --> 01:04:51,084
I'll write to you when I get to Rome.
Where will you be?

772
01:04:52,459 --> 01:04:53,667
I've really no idea.

773
01:04:54,542 --> 01:04:56,917
I suppose I may as well stay here
till the lease runs out.

774
01:04:57,709 --> 01:04:59,626
Then I shall probably go to Paris.

775
01:05:00,167 --> 01:05:01,167
Who knows?

776
01:05:01,751 --> 01:05:03,417
At any rate, we'll be in touch.

777
01:05:04,292 --> 01:05:06,126
Dear boy, do you mind awfully
if I don't wait?

778
01:05:06,667 --> 01:05:10,084
I'm not really built for waving
pocket handkerchiefs at parting trains.

779
01:05:14,501 --> 01:05:15,876
[Oscar] I'm too big!

780
01:05:18,917 --> 01:05:22,501
[indistinct chatter in French]

781
01:05:28,126 --> 01:05:29,334
[groans]

782
01:05:57,834 --> 01:05:58,792
Hello, Oscar.

783
01:05:59,459 --> 01:06:00,501
Constance.

784
01:06:02,126 --> 01:06:03,334
Is that you?

785
01:06:05,084 --> 01:06:06,292
Where's Lord Alfred?

786
01:06:07,792 --> 01:06:08,834
Has he left?

787
01:06:10,417 --> 01:06:13,415
- Are you quite alone now?
- [stammers]

788
01:06:13,417 --> 01:06:14,667
Where are the boys?

789
01:06:17,459 --> 01:06:18,584
Must get on.

790
01:06:20,709 --> 01:06:22,209
Such a long way to go.

791
01:06:23,376 --> 01:06:24,292
Constance...

792
01:06:25,584 --> 01:06:27,834
- We never meant...
- I loved you so much.

793
01:06:29,501 --> 01:06:30,501
Always.

794
01:06:32,626 --> 01:06:33,584
It's odd, isn't it?

795
01:06:39,751 --> 01:06:44,124
[Constance]
♩ The boy I love is up in the gallery ♩

796
01:06:44,126 --> 01:06:48,292
- ♩ The boy I love is looking down at me ♩

797
01:06:48,834 --> 01:06:51,792
[fading] ♩ There he is, can't you see ♩

- [speaks French]
- Hmm.

01:08:45,001 --> 01:08:46,626

[speaks French]

809
01:09:21,209 --> 01:09:22,834
[speaks English] My pleasure, Mr Melmoth.

810
01:09:32,292 --> 01:09:33,126
Mmm.

811
01:09:55,376 --> 01:09:56,542
[speaks French]

[counting continues]

[counting continues]

816
01:10:48,667 --> 01:10:49,834
Hmm...

[speaks French]

819
01:11:06,626 --> 01:11:07,751
Ah!

820
01:11:48,709 --> 01:11:49,751
[chuckles]

821
01:12:12,626 --> 01:12:13,876

[speaks English] Robbie!

829
01:13:16,084 --> 01:13:17,251
Stop a minute, please!

830
01:13:18,292 --> 01:13:19,209
Oscar.

831
01:13:19,709 --> 01:13:24,665
"Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania."
[chuckling] Yes, dear boy, it is I.

832
01:13:24,667 --> 01:13:25,834
Why are you sitting in the rain?

833
01:13:26,626 --> 01:13:30,959
I've spent all my ready cash on youth
and beauty and I cannot pay.

834
01:13:31,167 --> 01:13:33,709
- Please help me.
- Let's go inside.

835
01:13:35,501 --> 01:13:36,626
[groans]

836
01:13:39,126 --> 01:13:42,624
[Oscar] Like dear St Francis,
I am wedded to poverty.

837
01:13:42,626 --> 01:13:45,376
Only in my case,
the marriage is not a success.

838
01:13:45,751 --> 01:13:48,251
Robbie, you are naughty.
How long have you been here?

839
01:13:51,834 --> 01:13:53,959
- [speaks French]
- [speaks English] Twelve francs!

840
01:13:54,251 --> 01:13:56,249
- God, Oscar.
- It's been a long day.

841
01:13:56,251 --> 01:13:59,292
- Do you have 12 francs for me or not?
- Yes, of course.

842
01:14:00,667 --> 01:14:01,501
[speaks French]

843
01:14:02,042 --> 01:14:04,415
[speaks English]
Once again, I am in your debt.

844
01:14:04,417 --> 01:14:05,667
[speaks French]

845
01:14:07,126 --> 01:14:10,251
[chuckles] [speaks English]
Dear Robbie, I've missed you so much.

846
01:14:10,751 --> 01:14:13,207
Almost a year of punitive silence.

847
01:14:13,209 --> 01:14:17,542
Naples was, as you so accurately
predicted, a disaster.

848
01:14:18,126 --> 01:14:19,667
I know I'm always asking for it...

849
01:14:21,292 --> 01:14:23,290
but do I have your forgiveness?

850
01:14:23,292 --> 01:14:27,082
Forgiveness is for amateurs and you,
dear Oscar, are a professional masochist.

851
01:14:27,084 --> 01:14:29,374
Ooh! [chuckles]

852
01:14:29,376 --> 01:14:30,459
It's stopped raining.

853
01:14:31,042 --> 01:14:33,584
- I'll take you home.
- Oh, dear boy, so cruel. What?

854
01:14:34,126 --> 01:14:37,209
Let us not squabble
like two disgruntled housemaids.

855
01:14:37,417 --> 01:14:41,084
Let us rather black our grace with
a light-hearted chatter about our betters.

856
01:14:41,459 --> 01:14:45,957
Bosie, we hear, has come into £20,000.

857
01:14:45,959 --> 01:14:47,415
He arrives next week.

858
01:14:47,417 --> 01:14:50,042
I thought I might touch him
for a tiny pourboire.

859
01:14:50,292 --> 01:14:51,584
How long are you here, Robbie?

860
01:14:51,876 --> 01:14:53,832
I'm joining my mother in Menton
on Tuesday.

861
01:14:53,834 --> 01:14:55,626
More paraffin injections.

862
01:14:56,084 --> 01:14:57,084
How lovely.

863
01:14:57,709 --> 01:15:00,959
You should take Oscar.
He looks like a rotten egg in aspic.

864
01:15:02,001 --> 01:15:02,876
What happened?

865
01:15:03,334 --> 01:15:05,792
I was poisoned by a moule last week
when Robbie arrived.

866
01:15:06,209 --> 01:15:09,459
- I've had mysterious skin ever since.
- Leprosy, I expect.

867
01:15:09,792 --> 01:15:12,915
Oh, thank you, my dear. But let us talk
about more cheerful things.

868
01:15:12,917 --> 01:15:15,915
Your father's death, for example.
How did it go?

869
01:15:15,917 --> 01:15:19,249
Without a hitch, for the most part.
In and out of consciousness.

870
01:15:19,251 --> 01:15:20,374
As in life.

871
01:15:20,376 --> 01:15:22,709
My brother, Percy, went to see him
just before the end.

872
01:15:23,209 --> 01:15:26,501
- Father opened his eyes and spat at him.
- Queensbury rules.

873
01:15:26,876 --> 01:15:28,876
Well, I, at least,
have outlived my nemesis.

874
01:15:30,126 --> 01:15:32,167
Although I'm more or less
starving at the moment.

875
01:15:32,501 --> 01:15:34,292
Shovelling down lobster Newberg.

876
01:15:34,542 --> 01:15:38,207
A magnificent treat,
and, at the moment, sadly all too rare.

877
01:15:38,209 --> 01:15:41,082
Bosie dear, this brings me rather neatly
to an awkward point.

878
01:15:41,084 --> 01:15:45,165
Oscar, do not ask me for money.
I have absolutely none spare.

879
01:15:45,167 --> 01:15:48,582
Dear boy, you've just inherited £20,000.

880
01:15:48,584 --> 01:15:50,457
Surely, you don't wish
to see me on the street.

881
01:15:50,459 --> 01:15:53,124
As you're behaving like an old prostitute,
Oscar, perhaps that's where you belong.

882
01:15:53,126 --> 01:15:55,665
- For God's sake, Bosie.
- Keep out of this, Robbie.

883
01:15:55,667 --> 01:15:57,834
- This has nothing to do with you.
- Unfortunately, it has.

884
01:15:58,501 --> 01:16:02,457
Since Oscar threw in his lot with you in
Naples, he's been cut adrift by everyone.

885
01:16:02,459 --> 01:16:04,832
Constance has died, his sons
have been taken away from him,

886
01:16:04,834 --> 01:16:06,499
his so-called friends have deserted him

887
01:16:06,501 --> 01:16:08,832
and now you, who owe him everything,
turn your back.

888
01:16:08,834 --> 01:16:10,999
I am sick and tired of being blamed

889
01:16:11,001 --> 01:16:13,374
for the self-inflicted wounds
of a gluttonous snob!

890
01:16:13,376 --> 01:16:16,207
I'm not my lover's keeper!
If he wants to eat, he should work!

891
01:16:16,209 --> 01:16:19,415
- Oscar, what have you written recently?
- Ah, the pudding trolley.

892
01:16:19,417 --> 01:16:21,917
I see your little eyes light up.
What shall we have?

893
01:16:22,209 --> 01:16:24,874
Robbie, you'll burst a haemorrhoid.
It was only a passing thought.

894
01:16:24,876 --> 01:16:27,040
- Like all your work.
- You disgust me, Bosie!

895
01:16:27,042 --> 01:16:28,126
Do you suppose I care?

896
01:16:30,292 --> 01:16:33,001
I asked you a question, Oscar.
Does the flame still burn?

897
01:16:33,626 --> 01:16:35,417
No, it doesn't, does it?

898
01:16:35,751 --> 01:16:37,290
So I'm supposed to keep you in luxury

899
01:16:37,292 --> 01:16:39,707
while you stumble about
the boulevard begging for drinks.

900
01:16:39,709 --> 01:16:40,792
Christ!

901
01:16:41,334 --> 01:16:42,751
Some of us have to work!

902
01:16:43,459 --> 01:16:44,417
Come along.

903
01:16:48,584 --> 01:16:52,251
Reggie will be here when you wake up,
and I'll be back in no time.

904
01:16:53,876 --> 01:16:56,751
- Have you told Bosie?
- I haven't seen him since that lunch.

905
01:16:57,042 --> 01:16:59,040
But you must. If something happens.

906
01:16:59,042 --> 01:16:59,876
It won't.

907
01:17:04,376 --> 01:17:07,792
Is it really necessary, Doctor Tucker?
I feel perfectly well, you know.

908
01:17:08,167 --> 01:17:09,709
We shall be as quick as we can.

909
01:17:11,667 --> 01:17:13,667
[Oscar groans in pain]

910
01:17:14,001 --> 01:17:15,751
[Oscar screams]

911
01:17:17,001 --> 01:17:19,584
- [speaks French]
- [Oscar yells]

912
01:17:21,001 --> 01:17:23,834
[screaming]

913
01:17:25,042 --> 01:17:26,459
[coughing]

914
01:17:48,584 --> 01:17:50,374
[speaks English] Oscar, you old fraud.

915
01:17:50,376 --> 01:17:51,667
You look perfectly well.

916
01:17:52,459 --> 01:17:54,917
I know. Can you believe it?

917
01:17:55,542 --> 01:18:00,082
Once poisonous moule four months ago and
I've been in and out of bed ever since.

918
01:18:00,084 --> 01:18:01,042
[groans]

919
01:18:03,167 --> 01:18:07,332
Dear boy, behind the commode,
you will find a bottle of Champagne.

920
01:18:07,334 --> 01:18:10,334
Open it.
Let us drink to your arrival. Hmm?

921
01:18:13,292 --> 01:18:14,417
[Reggie] Shouldn't really.

922
01:18:15,084 --> 01:18:16,501
Of course we shouldn't.

923
01:18:17,709 --> 01:18:20,209
You've crossed the water
for a treasured friend.

924
01:18:20,751 --> 01:18:22,459
There are glasses under the bed.

925
01:18:27,001 --> 01:18:28,124
[groans]

926
01:18:28,126 --> 01:18:29,084
You poor darling.

927
01:18:30,584 --> 01:18:32,542
But I hear you're writing a new play.

928
01:18:33,209 --> 01:18:34,832
Yes, in a way.

929
01:18:34,834 --> 01:18:40,167
Robbie has left me some divine notebooks
in which to scribble beautiful thoughts.

930
01:18:41,501 --> 01:18:42,667
But unfortunately...

931
01:18:44,001 --> 01:18:45,459
I haven't had any this year.

932
01:18:48,917 --> 01:18:50,042
Mmm.

933
01:18:53,542 --> 01:18:55,499
I will tell you a terrible secret.

934
01:18:55,501 --> 01:18:58,084
And don't tell Robbie,
please, Reggie, there's a dear.

935
01:18:59,876 --> 01:19:03,334
I have sold the play
to three different individuals.

936
01:19:03,709 --> 01:19:05,334
And I haven't written a single word.

937
01:19:06,959 --> 01:19:08,292
Rather clever, don't you think?

938
01:19:09,376 --> 01:19:12,374
There's nothing like an Irish beggar
when he gets into his stride.

939
01:19:12,376 --> 01:19:14,624
What will you do
when the times comes to deliver it?

940
01:19:14,626 --> 01:19:15,876
[sighing] Oh.

941
01:19:16,501 --> 01:19:17,376
Die.

942
01:19:19,126 --> 01:19:19,959
I am...

943
01:19:21,126 --> 01:19:23,417
paralysed by dark thoughts.

944
01:19:25,084 --> 01:19:26,334
Sometimes I wonder.

945
01:19:28,001 --> 01:19:29,126
Is it a moule?

946
01:19:30,584 --> 01:19:31,876
It could be something else.

947
01:19:32,709 --> 01:19:33,834
Oh, God.

948
01:19:34,334 --> 01:19:37,084
Reggie, why did Constance die?

949
01:19:37,834 --> 01:19:39,417
Why have I become so mad?

950
01:19:39,834 --> 01:19:43,417
My brain is crashed and shattered.
Is this...?

951
01:19:43,917 --> 01:19:44,751
Syphilis.

952
01:19:47,792 --> 01:19:48,626
What?

953
01:19:51,167 --> 01:19:53,251
Do you see the hell in which I live?

954
01:19:54,417 --> 01:19:58,082
Robbie wants me to write a play,
but I am wrestling with my soul.

955
01:19:58,084 --> 01:20:00,999
- Reggie, I cannot write a play!
- Of course you can.

956
01:20:01,001 --> 01:20:03,082
Now come on, Oscar,
pull yourself together!

957
01:20:03,084 --> 01:20:05,999
The doctor says, within a few days,
we'll be able to take you out for a drive.

958
01:20:06,001 --> 01:20:07,334
We're going to have a lovely time.

959
01:20:10,751 --> 01:20:14,459
I can't think what happened last week.
My whole life was a blur.

960
01:20:16,751 --> 01:20:18,876
[indistinct chatter]

961
01:20:22,709 --> 01:20:24,376
- [speaks French]
- [speaks English] Very well.

962
01:20:28,292 --> 01:20:30,249
- [speaks French]
- [Reggie speaks English] Oscar!

963
01:20:30,251 --> 01:20:33,334
Oh, Reggie, fuck off!
One last drink before I die.

964
01:20:39,001 --> 01:20:41,582
I've been teaching Maurice English,

965
01:20:41,584 --> 01:20:43,624
but he is much more fluent
in the language of love.

966
01:20:43,626 --> 01:20:45,834
[chatter and laughter]

967
01:20:53,334 --> 01:20:55,126
- [Maurice] Oscar!
- Can I have a scarf, please?

968
01:20:58,626 --> 01:20:59,957
Thank you very much.

969
01:20:59,959 --> 01:21:01,167
Oh, it's freezing!

970
01:21:03,292 --> 01:21:04,376
[Oscar shrieks]

971
01:21:05,084 --> 01:21:06,040
Get off!

972
01:21:06,042 --> 01:21:08,457
- Reggie, I didn't know you cared.
- Off they come.

973
01:21:08,459 --> 01:21:10,834
Oh, God, Reggie! [groans]

974
01:21:12,584 --> 01:21:15,626
- [Maurice counts in French]
- [Oscar speaks English] Careful of my ear.

975
01:21:16,792 --> 01:21:18,834
Can you pull me up a bit more, dear boy?

976
01:21:20,792 --> 01:21:21,709
[grunts]

977
01:21:24,626 --> 01:21:25,792
[sneezes]

978
01:21:26,251 --> 01:21:28,959
- [knocking at door]
- Who can that be at this hour?

979
01:21:39,834 --> 01:21:41,334
[Reggie]
Christ, are we to be spared nothing?

980
01:21:54,626 --> 01:21:57,542
[speaks English] You see, Reggie,
more creditors to add to our list.

981
01:21:57,792 --> 01:22:00,001
I am dying beyond my means.

982
01:22:15,126 --> 01:22:16,334
[groans]

983
01:22:37,334 --> 01:22:39,292
- Hmm?
- [pats the bed]

984
01:23:17,126 --> 01:23:18,792
Reggie, turn down the gaslight, would you?

985
01:23:23,042 --> 01:23:24,292
[coughing]

986
01:24:43,667 --> 01:24:45,207
[speaks English]
He had just enough strength

987
01:24:45,209 --> 01:24:47,959
to fly up to
the Prince's shoulder once more.

988
01:24:48,751 --> 01:24:52,126
"Goodbye, dear Prince", he murmured.

989
01:24:54,084 --> 01:24:57,417
"I'm glad you're going to Egypt,"
said the Happy Prince.

990
01:25:38,834 --> 01:25:40,542
[speaks English] The disciples sleep.

991
01:25:42,751 --> 01:25:44,251
[hushed] The end is nigh.

992
01:25:48,209 --> 01:25:50,792
- [sneezes]
- [theatre audience laughs]

993
01:25:51,459 --> 01:25:53,876
Was the cause of death mentioned?

994
01:25:54,209 --> 01:25:56,040
A severe chill, it seems!

995
01:25:56,042 --> 01:25:58,084
[audience laughs]

996
01:25:58,876 --> 01:26:02,167
As a man sows, so shall he reap.

997
01:26:04,501 --> 01:26:08,457
Will the... internment take place here?

998
01:26:08,459 --> 01:26:12,126
No! He seems to have expressed
the desire to be buried in Paris.

999
01:26:13,001 --> 01:26:15,751
- Come home soon, Father.
- Tomorrow.

1000
01:26:16,459 --> 01:26:18,792
And tomorrow and tomorrow.

1001
01:26:25,667 --> 01:26:27,792
- Oscar.
- Oh, Reggie.

1002
01:26:28,709 --> 01:26:31,001
[hushed] Look. The boys.

1003
01:26:32,334 --> 01:26:35,165
Which boys? Maurice? Bosie?

1004
01:26:35,167 --> 01:26:36,209
I'm sorry.

1005
01:26:37,709 --> 01:26:39,084
I'm awfully sorry.

1006
01:26:40,209 --> 01:26:41,751
So many broken hearts.

1007
01:26:42,251 --> 01:26:45,917
And they will have to live with it
forever and ever and ever and ever.

1008
01:26:47,626 --> 01:26:49,126
[sobs] World without end.

1009
01:26:57,334 --> 01:27:00,251
[speaks French]

1010
01:27:01,501 --> 01:27:03,709
[speaks English]
Yesterday, she decided I was a waiter.

1011
01:27:04,042 --> 01:27:06,251
- And today?
- I don't know.

1012
01:27:07,001 --> 01:27:08,626
Hasn't spoken. Listen.

1013
01:27:10,084 --> 01:27:12,542
The doctor said
he can't last more than 48 hours.

1014
01:27:14,501 --> 01:27:17,042
- Have you called a priest?
- No, should I?

1015
01:27:17,626 --> 01:27:18,917
Well, I will, then.

1016
01:27:19,876 --> 01:27:24,376
I must tell you, Father, the dying man has
been quite a well-known literary figure.

1017
01:27:25,167 --> 01:27:28,251
Oh, well, that's all one and the same
to God, Mr Ross.

1018
01:27:29,417 --> 01:27:30,874
He has very little time to read,

1019
01:27:30,876 --> 01:27:33,792
what with all us sinners clogging up
the road to hell.

1020
01:27:35,376 --> 01:27:39,499
Well, what is the name of this friend
of yours who comes home so late,

1021
01:27:39,501 --> 01:27:43,292
and yet is so thirsty
for the sacred blood of our Lord?

1022
01:27:45,376 --> 01:27:48,042
- Oscar Wilde.
- Oh, Jesus Christ!

1023
01:27:49,751 --> 01:27:50,999
[stammers] Well, I...

1024
01:27:51,001 --> 01:27:54,707
Has Mr Wilde expressed
a desire for extreme unction?

1025
01:27:54,709 --> 01:27:57,459
Most certainly.
While he could still speak.

1026
01:27:57,709 --> 01:28:00,376
Has been received? Is he not a Protestant?

1027
01:28:02,417 --> 01:28:04,042
He was meant to be a Catholic.

1028
01:28:06,084 --> 01:28:07,792
Oh! No...

1029
01:28:08,334 --> 01:28:09,665
[Robbie weeps]

1030
01:28:09,667 --> 01:28:10,709
Don't...

1031
01:28:11,251 --> 01:28:14,709
Don't worry, my son.
Don't worry, don't worry, Mr Ross.

1032
01:28:15,084 --> 01:28:16,957
Don't... We'll sort something out.

1033
01:28:16,959 --> 01:28:19,334
I've got everything here we'll need.

1034
01:28:20,042 --> 01:28:24,209
Unless, of course,
um... exorcism is required.

1035
01:28:27,126 --> 01:28:29,876
That's, that's my little joke.

1036
01:28:35,751 --> 01:28:38,540
- Ah, well, we're in time.

1037
01:28:38,542 --> 01:28:42,084
[speaks English] Good evening,
Mr Dupoirier. We missed you on Sunday.

1038
01:28:42,584 --> 01:28:43,709
Oscar, can you hear me?

1039
01:28:44,292 --> 01:28:46,917
This is Father Dunn.
[whispering] Reggie, move!

1040
01:28:48,542 --> 01:28:53,501
Father Dunn is willing to receive you
into the church and give you absolution.

1041
01:28:54,001 --> 01:28:56,584
But you need to sit up and pay attention.

1042
01:28:56,792 --> 01:28:58,084
Now, now, Mr Ross.

1043
01:28:58,584 --> 01:28:59,915
Between the stirrup and the ground,

1044
01:28:59,917 --> 01:29:02,834
there's always time
for an act of contrition.

1045
01:29:04,667 --> 01:29:05,917
There's no need to hurry.

1046
01:29:07,709 --> 01:29:08,751
[clears throat]

1047
01:29:15,001 --> 01:29:15,959
Thank you.

1048
01:29:16,209 --> 01:29:20,209
Good evening, Mr Wilde.
My name is Father Cuthbert Dunn.

1049
01:29:21,042 --> 01:29:24,207
Now, I'm going to say
a few simple things to you, but I need...

1050
01:29:24,209 --> 01:29:27,917
I need to know that you understand them.
A little sign will do.

1051
01:29:31,917 --> 01:29:35,126
That's very good. Let us kneel and pray.

1052
01:29:38,167 --> 01:29:41,459
In the name of the Father,
the Son and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

1053
01:29:42,709 --> 01:29:43,709
Father...

1054
01:29:44,709 --> 01:29:47,209
look with pity on your servant, Oscar.

1055
01:29:48,417 --> 01:29:50,292
Absolve him of his sins.

1056
01:29:51,417 --> 01:29:53,542
And Mr Wilde, examine your conscience.

1057
01:29:54,417 --> 01:29:56,959
There are no secrets between God and man.

1058
01:29:58,209 --> 01:29:59,417
Talk to him.

1059
01:30:02,834 --> 01:30:06,209
Where did you lose sight
of our blessed Lord?

1060
01:30:10,001 --> 01:30:11,667
Clapham Junction.

1061
01:30:12,917 --> 01:30:14,584
[steam train rattling]

1062
01:30:15,084 --> 01:30:17,124
[inaudible]

1063
01:30:17,126 --> 01:30:20,292
[Father Dunn] Jesus Christ was nailed
to the cross in Golgotha

1064
01:30:20,542 --> 01:30:22,707
so that our sins might be forgiven.

1065
01:30:22,709 --> 01:30:23,959
[groaning]

1066
01:30:26,917 --> 01:30:29,874
I baptise you in the name of the Father...

1067
01:30:29,876 --> 01:30:32,792
and of the son and of the Holy Ghost.

1068
01:30:33,292 --> 01:30:36,292
Though I walk
through the valley of death...

1069
01:30:36,917 --> 01:30:39,501
and raise my eyes to the hills...

1070
01:30:40,542 --> 01:30:42,376
whence cometh my delight.

1071
01:30:44,959 --> 01:30:46,915
That was beautiful, wasn't it?

1072
01:30:46,917 --> 01:30:49,207
- We're so grateful.
- Ah, no, not at all.

1073
01:30:49,209 --> 01:30:54,209
But it is a great privilege
to meet such a distinguished author.

1074
01:30:54,542 --> 01:30:58,126
If you need me, our friend, Mr Dupoirier,
knows where to find me.

1075
01:31:07,292 --> 01:31:08,917
[Reggie] It's going to be a beautiful day.

1076
01:31:10,459 --> 01:31:11,792
[Oscar groans]

1077
01:31:22,501 --> 01:31:24,209
[groaning faintly]

1078
01:31:54,584 --> 01:31:56,334
[old woman] Do go on, Mr Wilde.

1079
01:31:58,709 --> 01:32:01,917
[Oscar] So they pulled down
the statue of the Happy Prince.

1080
01:32:02,459 --> 01:32:05,876
"As he is no longer beautiful,
he is no longer useful,"

1081
01:32:06,376 --> 01:32:09,792
said the Art professor at the University.

1082
01:32:10,959 --> 01:32:13,501
And they melted the statue in a furnace.

1083
01:32:15,209 --> 01:32:20,084
"What a strange thing," said the overseer
of the workmen at the foundry.

1084
01:32:21,126 --> 01:32:23,876
"This broken lead heart will not melt.

1085
01:32:25,084 --> 01:32:26,667
They must throw it away."

1086
01:32:29,042 --> 01:32:34,626
So they threw it on a dust heap,
where the dead Swallow was also lying.

1087
01:33:17,709 --> 01:33:22,082
[Latin prayer]

1088
01:33:22,084 --> 01:33:24,126
[crying]

1089
01:33:25,584 --> 01:33:29,167
[prayer continues]

1090
01:33:30,709 --> 01:33:32,749
[crying]

1091
01:33:32,751 --> 01:33:34,834
For Christ's sake, Bosie, shut up!

1092
01:33:38,501 --> 01:33:40,667
You can't understand, Robbie,
but how could you?

1093
01:33:41,459 --> 01:33:45,001
- Understand what?
- The sort of love that Oscar and I shared.

1094
01:33:45,584 --> 01:33:49,876
You've never shared anything with anybody.
You're too fucking selfish.

1095
01:33:50,084 --> 01:33:51,040
Robbie.

1096
01:33:51,042 --> 01:33:53,251
- Where were you when he was dying?
- Here we go.

1097
01:33:53,542 --> 01:33:56,542
You could never accept the fact
that Oscar loved me and not you.

1098
01:33:57,376 --> 01:33:58,832
Because he didn't, did he?

1099
01:33:58,834 --> 01:34:00,542
However hard you tried.

1100
01:34:01,876 --> 01:34:03,417
And how you tried.

1101
01:34:09,126 --> 01:34:10,334
Bosie!

1102
01:34:12,001 --> 01:34:14,124
- Fuck!
- [Reggie] For Christ's sake, Bosie!

1103
01:34:14,126 --> 01:34:18,334
[Bosie] You're a second-rate prole!
You know what Oscar thought about you?

1104
01:34:19,042 --> 01:34:21,501
He thought you were a useful bore!

1105
01:34:21,959 --> 01:34:24,626
When history looks back,
it won't be at you!

1106
01:34:24,917 --> 01:34:27,042
It will be at him and me!

1107
01:34:27,459 --> 01:34:30,542
You'll just be a footnote,
you dreary little cunt!

1108
01:34:33,959 --> 01:34:37,082
[Oscar] "Bring me
the two most precious things in the city",

1109
01:34:37,084 --> 01:34:38,917
said God to one of his angels.

1110
01:34:40,209 --> 01:34:43,542
And the angel brought him
the leaden heart and the dead bird.

1111
01:34:45,209 --> 01:34:47,709
"You have rightly chosen", said God.

1112
01:34:48,542 --> 01:34:52,834
"For in my garden of paradise,
this little bird shall sing forever.

1113
01:34:53,584 --> 01:34:57,792
And in my city of gold,
the Happy Prince shall praise me."

1114
01:35:20,459 --> 01:35:24,334
[audience] Author! Author! Author! Author!

1115
01:35:26,751 --> 01:35:28,126
It's a dream.

1116
01:35:31,001 --> 01:35:32,667
[drum roll]

1117
01:35:34,959 --> 01:35:36,209
[cymbals crash]

1118
01:35:40,001 --> 01:35:43,917

01:36:25,084 --> 01:36:28,626
