- 00:01:57,249 --> 00:01:58,582
- Sir? Where are you going?
- 3
- 00:01:58,584 --> 00:02:00,017
- Up the line to find a friend.
- 4
- 00:02:00,019 --> 00:02:02,119
- If I'm not back, you know
- where to send my things.
- 5
- 00:02:02,121 --> 00:02:03,489
- Well, wait...
- 6
- 00:02:03,956 --> 00:02:05,056
- Sir, wait!
- 7
- 00:02:05,358 --> 00:02:06,823
- Tolkien, sir!
- 8
- 00:02:06,825 --> 00:02:08,825
- Sir, please don't do this.
- You need to rest.
- 9
- 00:02:08,827 --> 00:02:10,061
- No, I'm fine.
- 10
- 00:02:10,296 --> 00:02:12,695
- Go back to barracks
- and wait for me there.
- 11
- 00:02:12,697 --> 00:02:14,332
- Sir, you really need
- to lay down.
- 12
- 00:02:14,566 --> 00:02:16,065
- The doctor said that the fever
- might get worse.
- 13
- 00:02:16,067 --> 00:02:18,635
- - I really don't think...
- - Look, Hodges, stay here.
- 14
- 00:02:18,637 --> 00:02:20,505
- That's an order.
- 15
- 00:02:21,572 --> 00:02:24,074
- Cover your face, sir!
- Keep down!
- 16
- 00:02:34,821 --> 00:02:36,089
- That water was cold.
- 17
- 00:02:38,124 --> 00:02:39,758
- You need to
- keep yourself warm, sir.
- 18
- 00:02:40,525 --> 00:02:41,927
- It's a long journey
- to the front.
- 19
- 00:02:46,698 --> 00:02:49,000
- I don't think the night
- will treat us well, sir.
- 20
- 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,153
- Fight, men!
- 21
- 00:03:09,155 --> 00:03:10,288
- There's too many of them!
- 22
- 00:03:10,788 --> 00:03:12,689
- We need reinforcements!
- 23
- 00:03:12,691 --> 00:03:14,660
- Take the banner!
- 24
- 00:03:16,595 --> 00:03:18,297
- Yes, I have the banner!
- 25
- 00:03:18,898 --> 00:03:21,601
- Stop them!
- He's getting away!
- 26
- 00:03:30,441 --> 00:03:31,843
- Where's Tolkien?
- 27
- 00:03:33,345 --> 00:03:35,481
- - Where is he?
- - Tolkien!
- 28
- 00:03:47,525 --> 00:03:48,658
- Ah!
- 29
- 00:03:48,660 --> 00:03:50,527
- I prayed
- for a strong pack mule
- 30
- 00:03:50,529 --> 00:03:52,329
- to help carry boxes, and look,
- 31
- 00:03:52,331 --> 00:03:54,434
- my prayers have been answered.
- 32
- 00:03:56,903 --> 00:03:57,803
- Where are we going?
- 33
- 00:03:58,002 --> 00:03:59,770
- Birmingham. I need you to go
- to your room and pack.
- 34
- 00:03:59,772 --> 00:04:02,439
- - What? Why?
- - Because I said so.
- 35
- 00:04:02,441 --> 00:04:04,707
- Because Father Francis
- has found us some rooms.
- 36
- 00:04:04,709 --> 00:04:06,044
- He's been very generous.
- 37
- 00:04:06,244 --> 00:04:07,711
- Find a box
- and collect your things.
- 38
- 00:04:07,713 --> 00:04:09,715
- I don't want to go
- to Birmingham.
- 39
- 00:04:10,181 --> 00:04:11,784
- Listen, both of you.
- 40
- 00:04:12,785 --> 00:04:13,886
- We...
- 41
- 00:04:22,627 --> 00:04:24,096
- Come here, Hilary.
- 42
- 00:04:27,765 --> 00:04:31,601
- Boys, we are going
- to face some difficult times,
- 43
- 00:04:31,603 --> 00:04:34,474
- and we are fortunate to have
- the church to support us.
- 44
- 00:04:35,341 --> 00:04:36,972
- With your father gone...
- 45
- 00:04:36,974 --> 00:04:37,909
- Ronald.
- 46
- 00:04:49,589 --> 00:04:50,854
- Ronald!
- 47
- 00:05:05,036 --> 00:05:07,974
- <i>"Ubi bene ibi patria."</i>
- Remember that, my darling?
- 48
- 00:05:11,409 --> 00:05:12,777
- Wherever you feel happy,
- 49
- 00:05:13,545 --> 00:05:14,580
- that's your home.
- 50
- 00:05:15,147 --> 00:05:17,884
- <i>We will find our place,
- sweetheart, we will.</i>
- 51
- 00:05:19,952 --> 00:05:22,087
- <i>Lock all this
- all in your heart.</i>
- 52
- 00:05:22,721 --> 00:05:25,691
- <i>Lock it tight, and it will be
- there forever, I promise.</i>
- 53
- 00:05:37,836 --> 00:05:40,606
- <i>Boys, listen to me.</i>
- 54
- 00:05:42,707 --> 00:05:45,777
- <i>Do you know what impecunious
- circumstances are?</i>
- 55
- 00:05:46,978 --> 00:05:48,445
- <i>They're what we're in?</i>
- 56
- 00:05:48,447 --> 00:05:49,912
- When I was a little girl,
- 57
- 00:05:49,914 --> 00:05:52,149
- all the new novels
- began like this.
- 58
- 00:05:52,584 --> 00:05:55,251
- A family of good
- and brave people
- 59
- 00:05:55,253 --> 00:05:58,890
- who suddenly find themselves
- in impecunious circumstances.
- 60
- 00:05:59,392 --> 00:06:00,492
- How did they escape?
- 61
- 00:06:01,026 --> 00:06:04,228
- By coming across
- some marvelous treasure.
- 62
- 00:06:04,695 --> 00:06:06,798
- Or else by marrying well.
- 63
- 00:06:07,132 --> 00:06:08,333
- I'm not marrying anyone.
- 64
- 00:06:08,767 --> 00:06:10,935
- Well, it will have to be
- the treasure then, won't it?
- 65
- 00:06:11,202 --> 00:06:13,637
- But, um, people don't
- find treasure, Mother.
- 66
- 00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:14,639
- Not in real life.
- 67
- 00:06:15,106 --> 00:06:17,842
- There's no fooling you,
- is there, John Ronald?
- 68
- 00:06:20,445 --> 00:06:22,248
- Let's just say
- there's treasure...
- 69
- 00:06:22,815 --> 00:06:24,149
- and there's treasure.
- 70
- 00:06:25,450 --> 00:06:26,851
- And leave it at that.
- 71
- 00:06:36,527 --> 00:06:38,096
- Let us begin, Ronald.
- 72
- 00:06:46,103 --> 00:06:50,539
- The earth began to shake
- with the weight of the dragon
- 73
- 00:06:50,541 --> 00:06:53,344
- as he crawled to the water,
- 74
- 00:06:53,712 --> 00:06:56,546
- and a cloud of venom
- flew before him
- 75
- 00:06:56,548 --> 00:06:59,317
- as he snorted and roared!
- 76
- 00:07:00,051 --> 00:07:01,185
- But Sigurd waited
- 77
- 00:07:01,586 --> 00:07:04,123
- till the dragon had
- crawled over the pit
- 78
- 00:07:05,190 --> 00:07:08,592
- and then he thrust his sword
- under his left shoulder
- 79
- 00:07:08,594 --> 00:07:10,127
- and right into his heart.
- 80
- 00:07:10,661 --> 00:07:13,762
- The dragon lashed his tail
- till stones broke
- 81
- 00:07:13,764 --> 00:07:16,301
- and trees crashed about him.
- 82
- 00:07:17,668 --> 00:07:20,204
- And then he spoke, as he died,
- 83
- 00:07:20,805 --> 00:07:23,709
- and said, "Whoever thou art
- 84
- 00:07:24,375 --> 00:07:25,911
- that hast slain me,
- 85
- 00:07:27,245 --> 00:07:29,645
- this gold shall be thy ruin
- 86
- 00:07:29,647 --> 00:07:32,217
- and the ruin of all who own it."
- 87
- 00:07:32,584 --> 00:07:33,918
- Sigurd said,
- 88
- 00:07:34,719 --> 00:07:36,118
- "I would touch none of it,
- 89
- 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,123
- if even by losing it,
- I should never die.
- 90
- 00:07:39,390 --> 00:07:40,623
- But all men die
- 91
- 00:07:40,625 --> 00:07:45,330
- and no brave man lets death
- frighten him from his desire."
- 92
- 00:07:48,567 --> 00:07:49,765
- Do you know
- 93
- 00:07:49,767 --> 00:07:50,799
- how ridiculous you sound?
- 94
- 00:07:50,801 --> 00:07:51,969
- Oh, really?
- 95
- 00:07:52,303 --> 00:07:53,770
- I'm even funnier in Latin.
- 96
- 00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:57,440
- Do you know what that means?
- 97
- 00:07:57,442 --> 00:07:58,944
- An insignificant wart.
- 98
- 00:07:59,178 --> 00:08:00,176
- No.
- 99
- 00:08:00,178 --> 00:08:03,115
- I believe you now sound
- like a drunken peacock,
- 100
- 00:08:03,582 --> 00:08:04,817
- you duffer.
- 101
- 00:08:06,116 --> 00:08:07,616
- Hello, Mother.
- Did you get my stamps?
- 102
- 00:08:07,618 --> 00:08:08,887
- Hello, Mother.
- 103
- 00:08:12,156 --> 00:08:13,925
- Where did you put them?
- 104
- 00:08:42,988 --> 00:08:43,988
- Sir?
- 105
- 00:08:44,824 --> 00:08:46,224
- I'm going to
- have to keep going.
- 106
- 00:08:56,502 --> 00:08:58,436
- Sir, gas.
- 107
- 00:09:33,070 --> 00:09:35,273
- I'm intrigued to see the boys.
- 108
- 00:09:42,781 --> 00:09:44,784
- Well, boys, I was right.
- 109
- 00:09:47,919 --> 00:09:49,288
- She's an enormous beast,
- 110
- 00:09:49,621 --> 00:09:50,956
- with great scaly feet
- 111
- 00:09:51,223 --> 00:09:54,260
- and the most prominent
- pair of tusks I've ever seen.
- 112
- 00:09:54,693 --> 00:09:57,092
- She's chewing,
- on what I can only assume
- 113
- 00:09:57,094 --> 00:09:58,895
- is the femur of a small boy.
- 114
- 00:10:03,167 --> 00:10:05,203
- On the other hand,
- there is cake.
- 115
- 00:10:09,608 --> 00:10:10,709
- King Edward's?
- 116
- 00:10:11,075 --> 00:10:12,310
- That's a very good school.
- 117
- 00:10:12,511 --> 00:10:15,247
- Well, they're very
- bright boys, Mrs. Faulkner.
- 118
- 00:10:15,580 --> 00:10:16,648
- Very diligent.
- 119
- 00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:19,082
- After Africa, their mother
- home-schooled them,
- 120
- 00:10:19,084 --> 00:10:21,083
- and they are now fluent
- in many languages.
- 121
- 00:10:21,085 --> 00:10:23,188
- Yes, but I mean socially.
- 122
- 00:10:23,821 --> 00:10:25,322
- You boys will be mixing
- 123
- 00:10:25,324 --> 00:10:28,591
- with the cream of
- Birmingham's <i>bonnes familles.</i>
- 124
- 00:10:28,593 --> 00:10:31,329
- And quite a change from
- Africa, I shouldn't wonder.
- 125
- 00:10:31,696 --> 00:10:33,395
- They've been living in England
- 126
- 00:10:33,397 --> 00:10:35,630
- far longer than they ever were
- in Bloemfontein.
- 127
- 00:10:35,632 --> 00:10:36,969
- Isn't that right, boys?
- 128
- 00:10:37,235 --> 00:10:39,871
- Yes, we hardly ever carry
- our spears anymore.
- 129
- 00:10:43,642 --> 00:10:45,375
- Been difficult to place,
- have they?
- 130
- 00:10:45,377 --> 00:10:47,947
- They've had one or two
- temporary homes.
- 131
- 00:10:48,347 --> 00:10:51,146
- What they need, of course,
- is the civilizing influence
- 132
- 00:10:51,148 --> 00:10:54,885
- of a stable
- and refined environment.
- 133
- 00:10:55,152 --> 00:10:56,886
- Such as yours, Mrs. Faulkner.
- 134
- 00:10:56,888 --> 00:10:59,323
- If I have a fault,
- it's that I am...
- 135
- 00:10:59,991 --> 00:11:01,924
- too generous
- with my young lodgers.
- 136
- 00:11:01,926 --> 00:11:03,360
- Too attached.
- 137
- 00:11:03,828 --> 00:11:05,898
- Edith, another orphan,
- 138
- 00:11:06,799 --> 00:11:09,068
- is like a child of my own.
- 139
- 00:12:18,637 --> 00:12:20,104
- Stand up, the new man.
- 140
- 00:12:21,806 --> 00:12:23,508
- Tol-Kine.
- 141
- 00:12:26,344 --> 00:12:27,646
- It's Keen, sir.
- 142
- 00:12:34,585 --> 00:12:35,387
- What?
- 143
- 00:12:35,586 --> 00:12:38,589
- It's pronounced Tolkeen, sir.
- Not Tol-Kine.
- 144
- 00:12:39,391 --> 00:12:40,358
- Sorry.
- 145
- 00:12:42,526 --> 00:12:43,528
- Sit down.
- 146
- 00:12:48,599 --> 00:12:50,834
- As we are so sensitive
- 147
- 00:12:51,469 --> 00:12:53,269
- about pronunciation
- this morning,
- 148
- 00:12:53,271 --> 00:12:54,971
- perhaps you could
- all be so good
- 149
- 00:12:54,973 --> 00:12:56,642
- as to take out our Chaucers.
- 150
- 00:12:57,541 --> 00:13:01,412
- Mr. Tol-Keen can keep up
- as best he can.
- 151
- 00:13:02,781 --> 00:13:03,882
- Mackintosh. Begin.
- 152
- 00:13:11,589 --> 00:13:13,422
- Oh, for heaven's
- sake. Goodson-Thomas.
- 153
- 00:13:17,796 --> 00:13:19,198
- Wiseman.
- 154
- 00:13:28,672 --> 00:13:31,075
- Mr. Tol-Keen.
- 155
- 00:14:17,922 --> 00:14:19,423
- Pass to Tolkien.
- Out wide!
- 156
- 00:14:30,669 --> 00:14:31,867
- Moron!
- 157
- 00:14:37,908 --> 00:14:39,043
- Don't speak.
- 158
- 00:14:39,276 --> 00:14:40,679
- Don't say a single word.
- 159
- 00:14:41,046 --> 00:14:42,580
- What if he asks me a question?
- 160
- 00:14:43,382 --> 00:14:44,449
- He won't.
- 161
- 00:14:44,982 --> 00:14:46,552
- He's not interested in you.
- 162
- 00:14:47,953 --> 00:14:49,755
- Come.
- 163
- 00:14:58,696 --> 00:15:01,331
- Is it that you believe
- I have nothing better to do
- 164
- 00:15:01,333 --> 00:15:03,064
- than arbitrate
- in your quarrels?
- 165
- 00:15:03,066 --> 00:15:05,102
- No, sir. Absolutely not.
- 166
- 00:15:05,302 --> 00:15:06,904
- Collegiate relationships
- 167
- 00:15:07,472 --> 00:15:08,740
- are the cornerstone of learning.
- 168
- 00:15:09,206 --> 00:15:10,808
- Isn't that what we say
- at King Edward's?
- 169
- 00:15:11,209 --> 00:15:12,375
- Headmaster, with respect,
- 170
- 00:15:12,377 --> 00:15:14,478
- Gilson and I
- were just playing rugby.
- 171
- 00:15:15,012 --> 00:15:17,248
- A little forcefully,
- I admit, but...
- 172
- 00:15:29,194 --> 00:15:30,829
- Men should be comrades.
- 173
- 00:15:31,028 --> 00:15:32,196
- Wherever they come from.
- 174
- 00:15:32,930 --> 00:15:34,266
- From the highest,
- 175
- 00:15:34,733 --> 00:15:35,800
- to the lowest.
- 176
- 00:15:37,536 --> 00:15:40,470
- - You and Master...
- - Tolkien.
- 177
- 00:15:40,472 --> 00:15:42,874
- ...will demonstrate this
- to the rest of the school.
- 178
- 00:15:43,541 --> 00:15:45,774
- You will do
- everything together
- 179
- 00:15:45,776 --> 00:15:46,942
- for the rest of the term.
- 180
- 00:15:46,944 --> 00:15:48,613
- - But, sir...
- - Everything.
- 181
- 00:15:51,016 --> 00:15:52,017
- Yes, sir.
- 182
- 00:15:52,718 --> 00:15:54,116
- He's made us liegemen.
- 183
- 00:15:54,118 --> 00:15:55,452
- Isn't that a little excessive?
- 184
- 00:15:55,454 --> 00:15:57,053
- It's an impossible standard.
- 185
- 00:15:57,055 --> 00:15:58,353
- It's designed to humiliate me.
- 186
- 00:15:58,355 --> 00:16:01,057
- - Doesn't it also humiliate me?
- - You're irrelevant.
- 187
- 00:16:01,059 --> 00:16:02,257
- Why do you
- keep on saying that?
- 188
- 00:16:02,259 --> 00:16:03,525
- - Because it's true.
- - No, listen.
- 189
- 00:16:03,527 --> 00:16:05,026
- I may not come from
- a respectable background...
- 190
- 00:16:05,028 --> 00:16:06,096
- It's not that, you idiot.
- 191
- 00:16:06,098 --> 00:16:07,862
- You're irrelevant
- to the headmaster.
- 192
- 00:16:07,864 --> 00:16:09,164
- - And you're not?
- - No.
- 193
- 00:16:09,166 --> 00:16:10,368
- Oh, because you're special.
- 194
- 00:16:12,137 --> 00:16:13,472
- Because I'm his son.
- 195
- 00:17:24,742 --> 00:17:26,709
- Oh, please don't stop, Edith.
- 196
- 00:17:41,825 --> 00:17:43,124
- Christopher, darling.
- 197
- 00:17:43,126 --> 00:17:44,192
- Gilson.
- 198
- 00:17:44,194 --> 00:17:45,762
- Christopher, sit still.
- 199
- 00:17:45,764 --> 00:17:48,063
- - Gilson, don't be absurd.
- - Christopher. Sit down.
- 200
- 00:17:48,065 --> 00:17:49,666
- - Stop!
- - Chris, sit down.
- 201
- 00:17:49,668 --> 00:17:51,332
- We're in a library.
- Christopher, sit down.
- 202
- 00:17:51,334 --> 00:17:52,636
- What?
- 203
- 00:18:05,482 --> 00:18:07,451
- We're going to take some tea.
- 204
- 00:18:07,786 --> 00:18:09,185
- - So?
- - So...
- 205
- 00:18:09,187 --> 00:18:11,420
- I suppose as we're meant to be
- doing everything together...
- 206
- 00:18:11,422 --> 00:18:12,822
- I'll stay where I am,
- thank you.
- 207
- 00:18:12,824 --> 00:18:13,925
- Suit yourself.
- 208
- 00:18:24,835 --> 00:18:26,070
- He didn't want to come.
- 209
- 00:18:36,514 --> 00:18:38,649
- What Robert meant to say
- 210
- 00:18:38,848 --> 00:18:39,916
- is that,
- 211
- 00:18:39,918 --> 00:18:42,487
- with a little encouragement
- from his friends,
- 212
- 00:18:43,054 --> 00:18:44,120
- he has now acknowledged
- 213
- 00:18:44,122 --> 00:18:45,321
- that this punishment
- was his fault
- 214
- 00:18:45,323 --> 00:18:46,324
- rather than yours,
- 215
- 00:18:46,892 --> 00:18:49,628
- and he'd like to make amends,
- by inviting you to tea.
- 216
- 00:18:50,562 --> 00:18:52,460
- You should be flattered,
- really.
- 217
- 00:18:52,462 --> 00:18:54,832
- It was your cleverness
- that rattled him.
- 218
- 00:18:55,566 --> 00:18:56,698
- It would rattle you too
- 219
- 00:18:56,700 --> 00:18:58,536
- if only you had
- a father like Gilson.
- 220
- 00:18:58,803 --> 00:19:00,569
- His marks
- only have to drop below
- 221
- 00:19:00,571 --> 00:19:02,007
- one other boy in the year...
- 222
- 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,875
- It's no excuse, but...
- 223
- 00:19:07,245 --> 00:19:08,346
- Oh, come on.
- 224
- 00:19:08,645 --> 00:19:10,211
- It's a lot more fun
- than sitting around
- 225
- 00:19:10,213 --> 00:19:11,313
- with a load of old books.
- 226
- 00:19:11,315 --> 00:19:12,584
- I like books.
- 227
- 00:19:13,218 --> 00:19:14,518
- So do we.
- 228
- 00:19:17,521 --> 00:19:19,490
- Geoffrey Bache Smith.
- 229
- 00:19:20,624 --> 00:19:22,693
- John Ronald Reuel Tolkien.
- 230
- 00:19:23,428 --> 00:19:24,892
- Gentlemen. A thought.
- 231
- 00:19:24,894 --> 00:19:25,497
- Tolkien.
- 232
- 00:19:26,030 --> 00:19:27,264
- Imagine walking
- into Barrow's Stores,
- 233
- 00:19:27,665 --> 00:19:29,532
- and finding me, guarding the
- door with a very big stick...
- 234
- 00:19:29,534 --> 00:19:30,568
- Where is this going?
- 235
- 00:19:30,834 --> 00:19:32,534
- And I said, there's no need
- to eat the cakes here.
- 236
- 00:19:32,536 --> 00:19:33,537
- I've done it.
- 237
- 00:19:33,738 --> 00:19:35,704
- In fact, I did it so much
- it made me sick...
- 238
- 00:19:35,706 --> 00:19:37,439
- That is the nature
- of parental authority.
- 239
- 00:19:37,441 --> 00:19:39,374
- "I've done it.
- I've decided it was bad.
- 240
- 00:19:39,376 --> 00:19:40,942
- And now I'm going to stop you
- from doing it."
- 241
- 00:19:40,944 --> 00:19:42,879
- - Cakes in this case being...
- - Everything.
- 242
- 00:19:42,881 --> 00:19:45,048
- - Everything that's good.
- - Right.
- 243
- 00:19:45,348 --> 00:19:47,217
- Tolkien, this is Barrow's.
- 244
- 00:19:47,219 --> 00:19:48,516
- Our kingdom,
- 245
- 00:19:48,518 --> 00:19:50,055
- and the best tea in town.
- 246
- 00:20:01,199 --> 00:20:03,466
- - Another pot of tea?
- - Thank you.
- 247
- 00:20:03,468 --> 00:20:05,133
- And what do you have
- that's under a shilling?
- 248
- 00:20:05,135 --> 00:20:05,969
- And isn't toast.
- 249
- 00:20:06,270 --> 00:20:08,370
- - Bath buns are four pence.
- - Good. A bath bun, please.
- 250
- 00:20:08,372 --> 00:20:10,605
- - And three forks.
- - Four.
- 251
- 00:20:10,607 --> 00:20:11,707
- And what about the stick?
- 252
- 00:20:11,709 --> 00:20:12,807
- The stick?
- 253
- 00:20:12,809 --> 00:20:14,576
- My father
- is a perfect example.
- 254
- 00:20:14,578 --> 00:20:16,411
- He knows about music.
- He loves it.
- 255
- 00:20:16,413 --> 00:20:17,813
- He spent the greater part
- of his youth
- 256
- 00:20:17,815 --> 00:20:19,180
- studying and composing music.
- 257
- 00:20:19,182 --> 00:20:21,817
- Christopher has had several
- musical pieces published.
- 258
- 00:20:21,819 --> 00:20:23,253
- Not several. One.
- 259
- 00:20:23,255 --> 00:20:24,352
- Pass me the sugar.
- 260
- 00:20:24,354 --> 00:20:25,420
- And yet when it comes to
- 261
- 00:20:25,422 --> 00:20:26,988
- pursuing a life
- as a composer...
- 262
- 00:20:26,990 --> 00:20:29,492
- No. "Musical dreams
- are a fantasy.
- 263
- 00:20:29,494 --> 00:20:31,593
- You will do as I did.
- You will put them aside."
- 264
- 00:20:31,595 --> 00:20:33,497
- And where does
- the stick come in?
- 265
- 00:20:33,998 --> 00:20:35,898
- The stick was a metaphor.
- Move on from the stick.
- 266
- 00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:38,035
- My mother's exactly the same.
- 267
- 00:20:38,268 --> 00:20:40,403
- She values poetry.
- She loves it.
- 268
- 00:20:40,938 --> 00:20:43,642
- She refuses to see it
- as a potential career.
- 269
- 00:20:44,275 --> 00:20:45,776
- She sees me as...
- 270
- 00:20:46,110 --> 00:20:47,575
- a lawyer or an accountant.
- 271
- 00:20:47,577 --> 00:20:49,711
- Does she carry a stick?
- 272
- 00:20:49,713 --> 00:20:52,081
- I'm gonna go outside and fetch
- a stick, how about that?
- 273
- 00:20:52,083 --> 00:20:53,051
- Thank you.
- 274
- 00:20:53,317 --> 00:20:54,651
- Well, at least
- your parents discuss it.
- 275
- 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,955
- If I even mentioned becoming
- a painter, I'd be disowned.
- 276
- 00:20:58,421 --> 00:21:00,555
- - No. I'd be decapitated.
- - There!
- 277
- 00:21:00,557 --> 00:21:01,892
- That's the stick.
- 278
- 00:21:25,182 --> 00:21:27,486
- I didn't even eat the cake
- that they ordered.
- 279
- 00:21:27,884 --> 00:21:28,952
- Why not?
- 280
- 00:21:29,719 --> 00:21:31,519
- I wasn't sure
- I had enough money.
- 281
- 00:21:31,521 --> 00:21:32,890
- Oh.
- 282
- 00:21:33,556 --> 00:21:34,793
- But this is sweet.
- 283
- 00:21:39,463 --> 00:21:40,731
- What about you?
- 284
- 00:21:41,098 --> 00:21:42,765
- What about me?
- 285
- 00:21:42,767 --> 00:21:44,870
- There must be something
- that you want?
- 286
- 00:21:46,071 --> 00:21:47,272
- To get out of here.
- 287
- 00:21:48,206 --> 00:21:49,207
- To be free.
- 288
- 00:21:50,507 --> 00:21:51,573
- I would go somewhere
- 289
- 00:21:51,575 --> 00:21:53,877
- where I wouldn't
- feel like a poor orphan
- 290
- 00:21:54,545 --> 00:21:57,278
- and... everybody
- would be dressed
- 291
- 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,116
- like kings and queens.
- 292
- 00:21:59,683 --> 00:22:01,252
- I wouldn't be there
- to play piano.
- 293
- 00:22:02,353 --> 00:22:04,989
- Or to carry
- Mrs. Faulkner's purse.
- 294
- 00:22:06,090 --> 00:22:08,927
- I'd be... greeted and...
- 295
- 00:22:10,026 --> 00:22:11,228
- appreciated.
- 296
- 00:22:12,029 --> 00:22:13,197
- Welcomed.
- 297
- 00:22:14,098 --> 00:22:16,100
- Welcomed.
- 298
- 00:22:39,556 --> 00:22:41,058
- Go back to barracks, Hodges.
- 299
- 00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:51,937
- Lieutenant Geoffrey Smith
- is a friend.
- 300
- 00:22:53,470 --> 00:22:55,739
- His mother...
- 301
- 00:22:57,874 --> 00:22:59,243
- His mother wrote to me. She...
- 302
- 00:23:00,344 --> 00:23:02,313
- She hasn't heard
- from him in weeks.
- 303
- 00:23:02,947 --> 00:23:05,283
- And he's not responded
- to my letters.
- 304
- 00:23:08,486 --> 00:23:09,955
- I'm worried he might be...
- 305
- 00:23:13,723 --> 00:23:15,993
- I need to know he's all right.
- 306
- 00:23:17,628 --> 00:23:19,597
- It really has
- nothing to do with you.
- 307
- 00:23:20,230 --> 00:23:22,066
- He must be a very good friend,
- is he, sir?
- 308
- 00:23:23,567 --> 00:23:24,835
- He's the best.
- 309
- 00:23:27,371 --> 00:23:28,806
- He'd do the same for me.
- 310
- 00:23:37,614 --> 00:23:38,880
- Well, if we're halfway there,
- 311
- 00:23:38,882 --> 00:23:40,615
- turning back
- won't take any longer
- 312
- 00:23:40,617 --> 00:23:41,751
- than carrying on, will it?
- 313
- 00:23:41,753 --> 00:23:42,919
- Hodges, please.
- 314
- 00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:44,820
- Perfectly frank, sir,
- by the look on you,
- 315
- 00:23:44,822 --> 00:23:46,188
- if I don't come along,
- 316
- 00:23:46,190 --> 00:23:47,055
- you're not gonna find
- 317
- 00:23:47,057 --> 00:23:48,959
- this Lieutenant
- Geoffrey Smith, anyway.
- 318
- 00:23:53,264 --> 00:23:55,367
- Let me see if I can find
- some medicine for you, sir.
- 319
- 00:24:08,078 --> 00:24:10,044
- Geoffrey, are you trying
- 320
- 00:24:10,046 --> 00:24:11,650
- to trap my bishop,
- you scoundrel?
- 321
- 00:24:14,719 --> 00:24:16,487
- Gentlemen. A thought.
- 322
- 00:24:16,819 --> 00:24:17,986
- You know what the trouble is
- 323
- 00:24:17,988 --> 00:24:19,655
- with all these legends
- Tolkien reads?
- 324
- 00:24:19,657 --> 00:24:20,723
- Enlighten me, Robbie.
- 325
- 00:24:20,725 --> 00:24:21,922
- They don't have
- any women in them.
- 326
- 00:24:21,924 --> 00:24:23,692
- I'm not talking about pale,
- 327
- 00:24:23,694 --> 00:24:25,628
- shivering maidens
- sitting in towers.
- 328
- 00:24:25,630 --> 00:24:27,563
- I'm talking about
- plump, red-blooded women.
- 329
- 00:24:27,565 --> 00:24:30,032
- - Could you sit down, please?
- - The women of Southern Europe.
- 330
- 00:24:30,034 --> 00:24:32,435
- Women with large flagons
- of wine on their heads.
- 331
- 00:24:32,437 --> 00:24:35,204
- Robbie, are you incapable
- of sitting in silence?
- 332
- 00:24:35,206 --> 00:24:37,171
- Like our waitress,
- just over there.
- 333
- 00:24:37,173 --> 00:24:38,640
- Oh, for God's sake.
- 334
- 00:24:38,642 --> 00:24:40,109
- Robbie, if I lose this game
- 335
- 00:24:40,111 --> 00:24:41,511
- because of
- your endless prattle...
- 336
- 00:24:41,513 --> 00:24:43,579
- You will lose this game
- because of me.
- 337
- 00:24:43,581 --> 00:24:44,713
- What are you reading now?
- 338
- 00:24:44,715 --> 00:24:46,482
- I'm reading about
- the realm of the dead.
- 339
- 00:24:46,484 --> 00:24:48,117
- Or at least trying to.
- 340
- 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,150
- See what I mean?
- 341
- 00:24:49,152 --> 00:24:52,123
- Presided over by
- a giant woman, as it happens.
- 342
- 00:24:52,590 --> 00:24:55,959
- Hel, a huge
- and ruthless goddess.
- 343
- 00:24:56,260 --> 00:24:57,927
- Is that not red-blooded enough
- for you?
- 344
- 00:24:57,929 --> 00:24:59,464
- It is our waitress.
- 345
- 00:25:00,265 --> 00:25:01,065
- Hel?
- 346
- 00:25:01,399 --> 00:25:03,534
- Yes, she rules over the realm
- of the dead. Helheimr.
- 347
- 00:25:03,767 --> 00:25:06,001
- It's a place
- where warriors are sent
- 348
- 00:25:06,003 --> 00:25:07,902
- if they die in the wrong way.
- 349
- 00:25:07,904 --> 00:25:10,173
- - What's the wrong way?
- - Peacefully.
- 350
- 00:25:10,507 --> 00:25:12,443
- Illness, old age.
- 351
- 00:25:12,709 --> 00:25:13,909
- Anything other than battle.
- 352
- 00:25:13,911 --> 00:25:15,544
- Now, that's an idea
- I can get behind.
- 353
- 00:25:15,546 --> 00:25:17,813
- I'm sorry, you're getting
- behind dying in battle now?
- 354
- 00:25:17,815 --> 00:25:18,913
- Not literally.
- 355
- 00:25:18,915 --> 00:25:21,251
- I can die in any way
- the Fates choose,
- 356
- 00:25:21,552 --> 00:25:22,786
- that's not up to me.
- 357
- 00:25:23,254 --> 00:25:26,523
- But what is within my power
- is to decide how I live.
- 358
- 00:25:26,723 --> 00:25:29,792
- Courageously or timidly.
- 359
- 00:25:29,794 --> 00:25:31,794
- Helheimr! It should be
- our warning. Our challenge.
- 360
- 00:25:31,796 --> 00:25:32,729
- Yes, I know.
- 361
- 00:25:33,030 --> 00:25:34,130
- But you should learn
- how to pronounce it first.
- 362
- 00:25:34,132 --> 00:25:36,799
- Come on. Challenge me.
- Set me a quest.
- 363
- 00:25:36,801 --> 00:25:38,633
- I'll show you
- how to avoid Helheimr.
- 364
- 00:25:38,635 --> 00:25:40,535
- I challenge you to...
- 365
- 00:25:40,537 --> 00:25:42,604
- sit in silence for 25 minutes.
- 366
- 00:25:42,606 --> 00:25:43,706
- Shut up, Geoffrey.
- 367
- 00:25:43,708 --> 00:25:44,805
- I'm serious.
- 368
- 00:25:44,807 --> 00:25:46,007
- Propose to the waitress.
- 369
- 00:25:46,009 --> 00:25:47,811
- - Christopher.
- - What?
- 370
- 00:25:49,580 --> 00:25:50,879
- An excellent idea.
- 371
- 00:25:50,881 --> 00:25:52,413
- Robbie, don't you dare
- do anything of the kind.
- 372
- 00:25:52,415 --> 00:25:54,885
- That's what I call
- a quest against Helheimr.
- 373
- 00:25:58,422 --> 00:25:59,857
- Helheimr!
- 374
- 00:26:01,424 --> 00:26:05,328
- Madam. My lady of the lake,
- the bearer of my dreams.
- 375
- 00:26:06,095 --> 00:26:07,765
- Would you do me
- the greatest honor,
- 376
- 00:26:08,266 --> 00:26:11,002
- sharing an infinite future
- with me...
- 377
- 00:26:23,546 --> 00:26:24,949
- We should form a club.
- 378
- 00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:27,149
- - What?
- - A brotherhood.
- 379
- 00:26:27,151 --> 00:26:29,752
- Aren't we already a club?
- A tea drinking club?
- 380
- 00:26:29,754 --> 00:26:30,755
- A tea drinking club,
- 381
- 00:26:31,021 --> 00:26:32,655
- sounds like something
- my stepmother would go to.
- 382
- 00:26:32,657 --> 00:26:33,691
- The Tea Club.
- 383
- 00:26:34,092 --> 00:26:36,592
- It doesn't sound any better
- just because you repeated it.
- 384
- 00:26:36,594 --> 00:26:37,692
- The Birmingham Boys.
- 385
- 00:26:37,694 --> 00:26:39,362
- That sounds like a circus act.
- 386
- 00:26:39,930 --> 00:26:42,432
- The Boys of Barrow's Stores.
- 387
- 00:26:43,566 --> 00:26:44,902
- Barrovians.
- 388
- 00:26:46,003 --> 00:26:48,969
- The Tea Club
- and Barrovian Society.
- 389
- 00:26:48,971 --> 00:26:50,573
- I think that's far too long.
- 390
- 00:26:50,575 --> 00:26:51,674
- The T. C. B. S.
- 391
- 00:26:51,676 --> 00:26:53,074
- The T. C. B. S.
- 392
- 00:26:53,076 --> 00:26:55,043
- Are you sure that doesn't
- sound like a disease?
- 393
- 00:26:55,045 --> 00:26:56,445
- No, listen, I don't care
- what it's called.
- 394
- 00:26:56,447 --> 00:26:58,447
- As long as we pledge
- our loyalty to each other.
- 395
- 00:26:58,449 --> 00:26:59,249
- Exactly.
- 396
- 00:26:59,484 --> 00:27:01,749
- T. C. B. S. That's settled.
- Now what do we do?
- 397
- 00:27:01,751 --> 00:27:02,883
- We change the world.
- 398
- 00:27:02,885 --> 00:27:04,386
- Oh, good. Something simple.
- 399
- 00:27:04,388 --> 00:27:05,954
- Through art, you clown.
- 400
- 00:27:05,956 --> 00:27:08,059
- Through the power of art.
- 401
- 00:27:16,700 --> 00:27:17,602
- Brothers,
- 402
- 00:27:18,568 --> 00:27:19,935
- will you join your comrades
- 403
- 00:27:19,937 --> 00:27:21,840
- in this act
- of changing the world?
- 404
- 00:27:29,513 --> 00:27:30,711
- - We will.
- - We will.
- 405
- 00:27:30,713 --> 00:27:32,380
- Helheimr!
- 406
- 00:27:32,382 --> 00:27:34,783
- - Helheimr!
- - Helheimr!
- 407
- 00:27:34,785 --> 00:27:36,254
- Helheimr!
- 408
- 00:27:59,308 --> 00:28:01,008
- <i>"Not for us, I reckon,</i>
- 409
- 00:28:01,010 --> 00:28:02,110
- to follow the wolves,
- 410
- 00:28:02,112 --> 00:28:03,278
- to fight amongst each other
- 411
- 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,147
- like the cubs
- the Fates rear ravenous..."
- 412
- 00:28:05,149 --> 00:28:06,380
- <i>"...the Norns came,</i>
- 413
- 00:28:06,382 --> 00:28:08,017
- <i>to shape out fate
- for that kingling;</i>
- 414
- 00:28:08,518 --> 00:28:10,919
- they said he'd be the fighter
- most famed,
- 415
- 00:28:10,921 --> 00:28:13,089
- and be reckoned
- the best of princelings.
- 416
- 00:28:13,524 --> 00:28:15,524
- They twisted fast
- the strands of fate,
- 417
- 00:28:15,526 --> 00:28:18,263
- unsettled the strongholds
- in Brálund..."
- 418
- 00:28:44,587 --> 00:28:45,522
- This way, please.
- 419
- 00:28:48,292 --> 00:28:52,194
- <i>Pale hands I loved
- beside the Shalimar</i>
- 420
- 00:28:52,196 --> 00:28:54,963
- <i>Where are you now?</i>
- 421
- 00:28:54,965 --> 00:28:59,603
- <i>Who lies beneath your spell?</i>
- 422
- 00:29:00,136 --> 00:29:03,438
- <i>Whom do you lead on...</i>
- 423
- 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,976
- I don't have a hat.
- 424
- 00:29:05,741 --> 00:29:07,945
- - What?
- - I don't have a hat.
- 425
- 00:29:09,078 --> 00:29:10,313
- That's all right.
- 426
- 00:29:10,881 --> 00:29:12,583
- They all look ridiculous,
- anyway.
- 427
- 00:29:22,526 --> 00:29:23,526
- What does it mean?
- 428
- 00:29:23,727 --> 00:29:25,361
- Oh... It's nonsense.
- 429
- 00:29:25,363 --> 00:29:28,363
- It's about an old man
- who's watching an unlucky frog
- 430
- 00:29:28,365 --> 00:29:30,864
- who can't land softly,
- so he gets eaten by a dog.
- 431
- 00:29:32,937 --> 00:29:35,640
- - And you invented that?
- - Yes.
- 432
- 00:29:36,641 --> 00:29:38,340
- The entire language?
- 433
- 00:29:38,342 --> 00:29:40,811
- Verb structures,
- vocabulary, everything.
- 434
- 00:29:41,245 --> 00:29:43,714
- My next language
- will have a music to it.
- 435
- 00:29:43,948 --> 00:29:45,182
- "Cellar door."
- 436
- 00:29:45,716 --> 00:29:46,717
- Cellar door?
- 437
- 00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:49,584
- That's the most musical word
- I can think of.
- 438
- 00:29:49,586 --> 00:29:50,517
- "Cellar door."
- 439
- 00:29:50,519 --> 00:29:52,120
- There's something
- about the fall of it.
- 440
- 00:29:52,122 --> 00:29:53,591
- The rounding of the mouth.
- 441
- 00:29:53,924 --> 00:29:55,724
- Cellar door.
- 442
- 00:29:55,726 --> 00:29:56,859
- If you say it over and over,
- 443
- 00:29:56,861 --> 00:29:59,729
- it starts to be
- something... magical.
- 444
- 00:30:00,063 --> 00:30:02,132
- Cellar door.
- 445
- 00:30:03,934 --> 00:30:05,335
- Cellar door.
- 446
- 00:30:06,937 --> 00:30:08,003
- I think that's nonsense.
- 447
- 00:30:08,005 --> 00:30:09,638
- I mean, it is
- if you say it like that.
- 448
- 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,177
- A word isn't beautiful
- just because of its sound.
- 449
- 00:30:13,576 --> 00:30:14,575
- Cellar door.
- 450
- 00:30:14,577 --> 00:30:17,748
- It's the marriage
- of sound and meaning,
- 451
- 00:30:17,980 --> 00:30:19,916
- the door to the cellar,
- 452
- 00:30:20,351 --> 00:30:21,949
- a place where
- something magical
- 453
- 00:30:21,951 --> 00:30:23,986
- and mysterious might happen.
- 454
- 00:30:23,988 --> 00:30:25,553
- I'm sorry,
- have you just dismissed
- 455
- 00:30:25,555 --> 00:30:27,322
- the basis
- of my entire language?
- 456
- 00:30:27,324 --> 00:30:28,657
- Your language
- isn't worth anything
- 457
- 00:30:28,659 --> 00:30:30,525
- unless you remember
- this important fact.
- 458
- 00:30:30,527 --> 00:30:32,563
- - Oh, is that right?
- - It is, yes.
- 459
- 00:30:36,767 --> 00:30:38,036
- Listen.
- 460
- 00:30:39,436 --> 00:30:40,237
- Hand.
- 461
- 00:30:40,437 --> 00:30:42,604
- That might be
- a beautiful word...
- 462
- 00:30:42,606 --> 00:30:43,705
- Yes, it is.
- 463
- 00:30:43,707 --> 00:30:45,174
- But it means so much more
- 464
- 00:30:45,176 --> 00:30:47,278
- because of what
- we associate it with.
- 465
- 00:30:58,421 --> 00:30:59,489
- Touch.
- 466
- 00:31:00,624 --> 00:31:03,294
- Things aren't beautiful
- because of how they sound.
- 467
- 00:31:04,394 --> 00:31:06,430
- They're beautiful
- because of what they mean.
- 468
- 00:31:15,672 --> 00:31:16,807
- Tell me a story.
- 469
- 00:31:17,341 --> 00:31:18,239
- What?
- 470
- 00:31:18,241 --> 00:31:20,377
- The story of Cellar Door.
- 471
- 00:31:21,812 --> 00:31:22,811
- No, I can't.
- 472
- 00:31:22,813 --> 00:31:23,514
- Why not?
- 473
- 00:31:23,747 --> 00:31:25,080
- When someone asks me
- to play the piano...
- 474
- 00:31:25,082 --> 00:31:26,982
- That's a different thing
- altogether.
- 475
- 00:31:26,984 --> 00:31:28,385
- Tell me a story.
- 476
- 00:31:28,951 --> 00:31:31,020
- In any language you want.
- 477
- 00:31:31,421 --> 00:31:33,658
- - Don't be ridiculous.
- - The legend...
- 478
- 00:31:34,459 --> 00:31:35,659
- of Cellar Door.
- 479
- 00:31:35,892 --> 00:31:37,325
- No, I'm not
- a performing monkey.
- 480
- 00:31:37,327 --> 00:31:39,328
- It begins with the arrival
- 481
- 00:31:39,330 --> 00:31:41,332
- of a proud
- and opinionated princess.
- 482
- 00:31:42,032 --> 00:31:43,230
- Yes, you're right about that.
- 483
- 00:31:43,232 --> 00:31:44,701
- She demands entertainment.
- 484
- 00:31:45,169 --> 00:31:47,671
- Princess Cellardoor is bored.
- 485
- 00:31:48,005 --> 00:31:50,238
- Bored of cakes and muffins
- 486
- 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,709
- - and exquisite china...
- - No.
- 487
- 00:31:52,442 --> 00:31:54,211
- She longs for another life.
- 488
- 00:31:54,978 --> 00:31:56,580
- - It's not a name.
- - What?
- 489
- 00:31:56,846 --> 00:31:58,248
- It's something else.
- 490
- 00:31:59,482 --> 00:32:02,252
- Cellardoor. It's not a
- princess's name, it can't be.
- 491
- 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,422
- Cellardoor...
- 492
- 00:32:06,623 --> 00:32:07,691
- is a place.
- 493
- 00:32:09,594 --> 00:32:12,361
- It's a place.
- An ancient place.
- 494
- 00:32:12,363 --> 00:32:14,398
- Impossible to reach, except...
- 495
- 00:32:14,998 --> 00:32:16,799
- by the most treacherous climb.
- 496
- 00:32:16,801 --> 00:32:18,436
- It hangs... no...
- 497
- 00:32:19,370 --> 00:32:20,170
- No?
- 498
- 00:32:20,403 --> 00:32:22,873
- It's not a climb... It's not...
- 499
- 00:32:23,140 --> 00:32:24,441
- Door...
- 500
- 00:32:27,378 --> 00:32:29,410
- ...road... path. It's a path.
- 501
- 00:32:29,412 --> 00:32:31,846
- A path through a dense,
- dark forest.
- 502
- 00:32:31,848 --> 00:32:33,148
- Oh, is it, now?
- 503
- 00:32:33,150 --> 00:32:34,314
- And at the heart
- of Cellardoor,
- 504
- 00:32:34,316 --> 00:32:35,419
- which is actually a shrine,
- 505
- 00:32:35,686 --> 00:32:37,953
- there stands
- an extraordinary sight.
- 506
- 00:32:37,955 --> 00:32:41,357
- Is it a proud
- and opinionated princess?
- 507
- 00:32:41,359 --> 00:32:44,793
- It is a place which is revered
- by all who know of it.
- 508
- 00:32:44,795 --> 00:32:47,528
- A sacred place,
- marked at its center by...
- 509
- 00:32:47,530 --> 00:32:48,598
- By?
- 510
- 00:32:54,604 --> 00:32:55,672
- By trees.
- 511
- 00:32:56,207 --> 00:32:57,341
- <i>Trees?</i>
- 512
- 00:32:57,841 --> 00:32:59,807
- <i>One of
- the purest black like ebony,</i>
- 513
- 00:32:59,809 --> 00:33:02,312
- <i>the other... white as bone.</i>
- 514
- 00:33:03,479 --> 00:33:05,780
- <i>They each contain
- a deadly poison in their sap.</i>
- 515
- 00:33:05,782 --> 00:33:08,819
- But they have grown together
- over thousands of years.
- 516
- 00:33:09,253 --> 00:33:11,255
- Leaning into each other, like...
- 517
- 00:33:12,021 --> 00:33:13,657
- they were fighting, or...
- 518
- 00:33:15,926 --> 00:33:16,827
- The roots...
- 519
- 00:33:17,026 --> 00:33:20,861
- the branches of the two trees,
- reaching, twisting,
- 520
- 00:33:20,863 --> 00:33:22,230
- gnarling around each other,
- 521
- 00:33:22,232 --> 00:33:24,969
- have finally become
- a single knotted trunk.
- 522
- 00:33:26,436 --> 00:33:27,902
- Their poisoned saps commingled
- 523
- 00:33:27,904 --> 00:33:29,838
- to create a powerful,
- life-giving potion.
- 524
- 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,877
- The water... of Cellardoor.
- 525
- 00:33:34,077 --> 00:33:35,445
- What does it do?
- 526
- 00:33:36,146 --> 00:33:37,579
- What does it do?
- 527
- 00:33:37,581 --> 00:33:38,783
- Yes.
- 528
- 00:33:39,650 --> 00:33:40,751
- What does it do?
- 529
- 00:33:41,918 --> 00:33:43,517
- - To drink it...
- - Yes?
- 530
- 00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:45,655
- The water of Cellardoor,
- to taste it,
- 531
- 00:33:46,422 --> 00:33:48,959
- is to possess
- the power of sight.
- 532
- 00:33:51,261 --> 00:33:52,893
- Sight beyond sight.
- 533
- 00:33:52,895 --> 00:33:54,697
- Sight into the deepest,
- 534
- 00:33:55,265 --> 00:33:57,098
- darkest parts
- of the human heart.
- 535
- 00:33:57,100 --> 00:33:59,333
- It's a hungry, potent magic.
- 536
- 00:33:59,335 --> 00:34:02,839
- A magic beyond anything
- anyone has ever felt before.
- 537
- 00:34:25,995 --> 00:34:27,296
- What did you do that for?
- 538
- 00:34:27,730 --> 00:34:30,368
- I was filled with the spirit
- of Cellardoor.
- 539
- 00:34:30,901 --> 00:34:32,502
- Go on. Your turn.
- 540
- 00:34:32,969 --> 00:34:34,101
- No.
- 541
- 00:34:34,103 --> 00:34:35,973
- What's the worst
- that could happen?
- 542
- 00:35:15,344 --> 00:35:16,980
- Aren't you supposed
- to be studying?
- 543
- 00:35:17,214 --> 00:35:18,549
- Oh, yes. Thank you.
- 544
- 00:35:34,732 --> 00:35:37,132
- - They sound very exciting.
- - Yes.
- 545
- 00:35:37,134 --> 00:35:39,600
- I mean, I'm not saying
- that everything everyone says
- 546
- 00:35:39,602 --> 00:35:40,902
- is going to be
- absolutely fascinating.
- 547
- 00:35:40,904 --> 00:35:42,670
- - It'll be fine.
- - Yes.
- 548
- 00:35:42,672 --> 00:35:44,608
- I hope
- I've dressed up properly.
- 549
- 00:35:51,448 --> 00:35:52,982
- - More tea?
- - Uh...
- 550
- 00:35:58,754 --> 00:36:00,756
- So, what do you
- normally talk about?
- 551
- 00:36:01,123 --> 00:36:02,125
- Uh, we...
- 552
- 00:36:02,460 --> 00:36:05,426
- We talk about all sorts
- of really interesting things.
- 553
- 00:36:05,428 --> 00:36:06,493
- Really interesting.
- 554
- 00:36:06,495 --> 00:36:08,398
- Interesting
- and fascinating, and...
- 555
- 00:36:08,866 --> 00:36:11,498
- you know, that's when we're not
- trying to change the world.
- 556
- 00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:13,134
- When we're not
- trying to change the world,
- 557
- 00:36:13,136 --> 00:36:16,036
- the thing we're focusing
- on most, Miss Bratt, is...
- 558
- 00:36:16,038 --> 00:36:17,774
- Please. Edith.
- 559
- 00:36:18,741 --> 00:36:20,574
- Is our university entrance.
- 560
- 00:36:20,576 --> 00:36:22,111
- Are you all trying for Oxford?
- 561
- 00:36:22,578 --> 00:36:24,180
- Well, Tolkien and I are.
- 562
- 00:36:24,381 --> 00:36:26,216
- The other two are aiming
- for Cambridge.
- 563
- 00:36:26,450 --> 00:36:28,250
- - Treacherous beasts.
- - Are you nervous?
- 564
- 00:36:28,252 --> 00:36:29,620
- Robbie isn't.
- 565
- 00:36:29,852 --> 00:36:30,752
- Oh.
- 566
- 00:36:30,754 --> 00:36:32,453
- I don't believe
- in examinations.
- 567
- 00:36:32,455 --> 00:36:33,524
- I write what I think.
- 568
- 00:36:33,756 --> 00:36:35,690
- And if they want to give me
- a mark, it's up to them.
- 569
- 00:36:35,692 --> 00:36:37,324
- What a revolutionary approach.
- 570
- 00:36:37,326 --> 00:36:38,328
- Why, thank you.
- 571
- 00:36:38,995 --> 00:36:42,265
- I would love to hear you play
- the piano sometime, Miss...
- 572
- 00:36:42,565 --> 00:36:44,768
- Edith.
- 573
- 00:36:44,968 --> 00:36:45,933
- She plays marvelously.
- 574
- 00:36:45,935 --> 00:36:47,301
- You're a composer yourself,
- 575
- 00:36:47,303 --> 00:36:48,370
- isn't that right, Christopher?
- 576
- 00:36:48,372 --> 00:36:49,437
- Yes.
- 577
- 00:36:49,439 --> 00:36:51,908
- - No, he's been published.
- - Heavens.
- 578
- 00:36:52,542 --> 00:36:54,077
- Which composers do you admire?
- 579
- 00:36:54,344 --> 00:36:56,777
- - Um, I like the Romantics.
- - So do I.
- 580
- 00:36:56,779 --> 00:36:59,716
- Beethoven. Brahms. Wagner.
- 581
- 00:36:59,982 --> 00:37:03,551
- I appreciate Wagner.
- I'm not sure that I like him.
- 582
- 00:37:03,553 --> 00:37:04,752
- You "appreciate" him?
- 583
- 00:37:04,754 --> 00:37:07,290
- Yes. As an agent of emotion,
- I mean.
- 584
- 00:37:07,757 --> 00:37:10,223
- The operas...
- They're somehow...
- 585
- 00:37:10,225 --> 00:37:11,494
- I love Wagner's <i>Rheingold.</i>
- 586
- 00:37:11,861 --> 00:37:13,962
- Christopher
- finds those too long.
- 587
- 00:37:13,964 --> 00:37:14,965
- No, I don't.
- 588
- 00:37:15,265 --> 00:37:16,663
- Well, nobody blames you.
- 589
- 00:37:16,665 --> 00:37:17,799
- It shouldn't take six hours
- 590
- 00:37:17,801 --> 00:37:19,167
- to tell a story
- about a magic ring.
- 591
- 00:37:19,169 --> 00:37:21,069
- No, Gilson, you don't know
- what you're talking about.
- 592
- 00:37:21,071 --> 00:37:23,772
- Of course, operas can be
- considered long and laborious
- 593
- 00:37:23,774 --> 00:37:26,440
- but for my music,
- whatever the length,
- 594
- 00:37:26,442 --> 00:37:28,176
- it is imperative
- that it has heart.
- 595
- 00:37:28,178 --> 00:37:29,109
- A sensation of intoxication...
- 596
- 00:37:29,111 --> 00:37:31,446
- - Look, I'm afraid we must go.
- - Already?
- 597
- 00:37:31,448 --> 00:37:33,348
- Yes, Mrs. Faulkner
- will be worried.
- 598
- 00:37:33,350 --> 00:37:34,649
- Oh, Tollers,
- there's so much tea left.
- 599
- 00:37:34,651 --> 00:37:35,817
- No, but we have
- exams coming up
- 600
- 00:37:35,819 --> 00:37:37,185
- and I, for one, have to study.
- 601
- 00:37:37,187 --> 00:37:38,522
- I'm sorry. Goodbye, all.
- 602
- 00:37:39,223 --> 00:37:40,790
- It was lovely meeting you.
- 603
- 00:37:41,223 --> 00:37:43,560
- - Bye.
- - Goodbye, Edith.
- 604
- 00:37:45,227 --> 00:37:46,796
- I'll fetch our coats.
- 605
- 00:37:48,431 --> 00:37:50,034
- Are you ashamed of me?
- 606
- 00:37:50,466 --> 00:37:51,734
- What?
- 607
- 00:37:52,402 --> 00:37:53,902
- I can't think
- of another explanation.
- 608
- 00:37:53,904 --> 00:37:55,806
- I don't know
- what you're talking about.
- 609
- 00:37:56,439 --> 00:37:58,575
- You know
- how I spend my days, John.
- 610
- 00:37:58,975 --> 00:38:00,109
- You've seen me.
- 611
- 00:38:00,444 --> 00:38:01,679
- I'm a companion.
- 612
- 00:38:02,111 --> 00:38:03,279
- A prisoner.
- 613
- 00:38:03,879 --> 00:38:07,250
- There's no secret
- literary societies for me.
- 614
- 00:38:08,518 --> 00:38:09,919
- No escape.
- 615
- 00:38:11,721 --> 00:38:14,324
- I play piano
- for Mrs. Faulkner.
- 616
- 00:38:14,690 --> 00:38:17,660
- Terrible, sentimental songs
- on the piano.
- 617
- 00:38:18,727 --> 00:38:20,563
- I sit with her in the evening.
- 618
- 00:38:20,830 --> 00:38:23,033
- Read with her. Sew with her.
- 619
- 00:38:23,232 --> 00:38:24,602
- Listen to her.
- 620
- 00:38:25,669 --> 00:38:28,169
- I have a passion for Wagner.
- 621
- 00:38:28,171 --> 00:38:31,873
- I want to talk about him.
- To discuss. To debate.
- 622
- 00:38:31,875 --> 00:38:33,110
- But you...
- 623
- 00:39:43,781 --> 00:39:45,413
- Take cover!
- 624
- 00:39:50,687 --> 00:39:52,056
- Run, sir!
- 625
- 00:39:57,727 --> 00:39:59,129
- Sir, I think we're safe.
- 626
- 00:40:01,998 --> 00:40:03,067
- It's okay.
- 627
- 00:40:11,942 --> 00:40:14,178
- Sir. Let's stay here, sir.
- 628
- 00:40:14,743 --> 00:40:16,113
- Let's stay here, sir.
- 629
- 00:40:46,343 --> 00:40:48,710
- Haven't you anything
- a little more cheerful, dear?
- 630
- 00:41:05,361 --> 00:41:06,527
- <i>"Shapes in the mist</i>
- 631
- 00:41:06,529 --> 00:41:08,399
- It is long since I saw you
- 632
- 00:41:09,299 --> 00:41:12,102
- Pale hands and faces, quiet eyes
- 633
- 00:41:12,435 --> 00:41:15,471
- Crowned with a garland
- that dead hands wrought you
- 634
- 00:41:15,839 --> 00:41:18,075
- Out of remembrance
- that never dies
- 635
- 00:41:19,609 --> 00:41:22,178
- One among you
- is tall and supple
- 636
- 00:41:22,678 --> 00:41:24,981
- Good to love
- and to fight beside
- 637
- 00:41:25,681 --> 00:41:27,817
- Only the stain
- of a deadly quarrel
- 638
- 00:41:28,084 --> 00:41:30,988
- Only that
- and the years divide"
- 639
- 00:41:32,622 --> 00:41:34,221
- - It's dreadful.
- - It's superb.
- 640
- 00:41:34,223 --> 00:41:35,989
- - Stop being such a moron.
- - It isn't finished.
- 641
- 00:41:35,991 --> 00:41:37,290
- It's wonderful.
- 642
- 00:41:37,292 --> 00:41:40,263
- It's Greek, in a way.
- The love of comrades.
- 643
- 00:41:40,663 --> 00:41:42,866
- It's very emotive.
- You should be proud.
- 644
- 00:41:44,500 --> 00:41:46,069
- Right. Who's next?
- 645
- 00:41:46,402 --> 00:41:47,404
- Tollers?
- 646
- 00:41:47,669 --> 00:41:49,305
- No, I haven't anything new.
- 647
- 00:41:50,373 --> 00:41:51,640
- - Really?
- - Mmm.
- 648
- 00:41:51,642 --> 00:41:53,942
- Well,
- if Tolkien is betraying
- 649
- 00:41:53,944 --> 00:41:55,911
- the brotherhood with a blank,
- 650
- 00:41:55,913 --> 00:41:59,048
- I'm going to show you
- something utterly degenerate.
- 651
- 00:42:00,417 --> 00:42:01,919
- This cannot be good.
- 652
- 00:42:02,618 --> 00:42:04,551
- Heavens above.
- 653
- 00:42:04,553 --> 00:42:06,453
- Copied, unfortunately.
- 654
- 00:42:06,455 --> 00:42:08,257
- And what I need
- is life models.
- 655
- 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:10,994
- Not much chance of that,
- of course.
- 656
- 00:42:13,897 --> 00:42:15,596
- I take it
- that's not one of yours.
- 657
- 00:42:15,598 --> 00:42:18,401
- What, my father's
- aristocratic pretensions?
- 658
- 00:42:18,701 --> 00:42:20,801
- Needless to say,
- he hasn't got a rifle,
- 659
- 00:42:20,803 --> 00:42:23,304
- a stately home,
- or a pack of spaniels.
- 660
- 00:42:24,207 --> 00:42:25,642
- Have you really
- not written anything?
- 661
- 00:42:25,942 --> 00:42:27,878
- Not even inspired
- by Miss Bratt?
- 662
- 00:42:28,210 --> 00:42:30,913
- Don't be an ass, Wiseman.
- Edith and I...
- 663
- 00:42:31,747 --> 00:42:32,782
- share a lodging.
- 664
- 00:42:33,015 --> 00:42:34,582
- So, her heart
- is still unclaimed?
- 665
- 00:42:34,584 --> 00:42:35,650
- Thank you, Tolkien.
- Good to know.
- 666
- 00:42:35,652 --> 00:42:36,917
- So, you've written nothing?
- 667
- 00:42:36,919 --> 00:42:40,222
- I can't get into my stride.
- I feel... unfocused.
- 668
- 00:42:40,457 --> 00:42:42,493
- You know what
- I think that's a symptom of?
- 669
- 00:42:43,694 --> 00:42:44,759
- Constipation?
- 670
- 00:42:44,761 --> 00:42:46,594
- Ha-ha-ha.
- 671
- 00:42:46,596 --> 00:42:48,795
- Love.
- Requited or otherwise.
- 672
- 00:42:48,797 --> 00:42:50,297
- Yes. Thank you.
- 673
- 00:42:50,299 --> 00:42:51,266
- What a wonderful insight
- 674
- 00:42:51,268 --> 00:42:53,203
- into the human condition,
- Chris.
- 675
- 00:42:53,902 --> 00:42:56,205
- It's a pity it doesn't find
- its way into your music.
- 676
- 00:42:57,940 --> 00:43:00,208
- You know, I'm surprised
- you expect us to believe
- 677
- 00:43:00,210 --> 00:43:01,708
- a single word you say,
- Tolkien.
- 678
- 00:43:01,710 --> 00:43:02,745
- What's that supposed to mean?
- 679
- 00:43:03,111 --> 00:43:04,913
- You kept the
- delectable Miss Bratt from us.
- 680
- 00:43:05,415 --> 00:43:07,449
- Who knows what else
- you might be concealing.
- 681
- 00:43:07,451 --> 00:43:08,518
- Christopher.
- 682
- 00:43:09,051 --> 00:43:10,851
- A wife, three children
- and a ranch in Argentina.
- 683
- 00:43:10,853 --> 00:43:11,986
- Since you ask.
- 684
- 00:43:11,988 --> 00:43:13,754
- God, I wish
- I had Tolkien's secret life,
- 685
- 00:43:13,756 --> 00:43:14,922
- eh, Geoff?
- 686
- 00:43:14,924 --> 00:43:16,656
- Can we please
- just play the game?
- 687
- 00:43:21,064 --> 00:43:22,498
- I thought you said
- he was away?
- 688
- 00:43:22,832 --> 00:43:25,399
- Yes, he was.
- 689
- 00:43:25,401 --> 00:43:26,469
- He is...
- 690
- 00:43:28,270 --> 00:43:31,440
- Geoffrey, give me
- that quickly. Thank you.
- 691
- 00:43:33,142 --> 00:43:34,542
- Where do I put
- these things?
- 692
- 00:43:34,544 --> 00:43:36,279
- Quickly.
- 693
- 00:43:36,879 --> 00:43:38,314
- Shh!
- 694
- 00:43:48,158 --> 00:43:50,360
- - Sir.
- - Headmaster.
- 695
- 00:43:50,759 --> 00:43:51,761
- What's this?
- 696
- 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,761
- You said I might have
- some friends here, sir.
- 697
- 00:43:53,763 --> 00:43:54,862
- While you were away.
- 698
- 00:43:54,864 --> 00:43:56,266
- Your aunt is better.
- 699
- 00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:58,935
- I came home.
- 700
- 00:44:01,672 --> 00:44:03,605
- I have work to do.
- Send them home now.
- 701
- 00:44:03,607 --> 00:44:05,839
- I've promised the boys that
- they can stay the night, sir.
- 702
- 00:44:05,841 --> 00:44:08,344
- Circumstances
- have changed, however.
- 703
- 00:44:08,745 --> 00:44:10,480
- And now they will go home.
- 704
- 00:44:25,661 --> 00:44:27,029
- Helheimr.
- 705
- 00:44:27,430 --> 00:44:28,498
- Don't be ridiculous.
- 706
- 00:44:29,632 --> 00:44:30,933
- Helheimr.
- 707
- 00:44:32,468 --> 00:44:33,970
- Helheimr.
- 708
- 00:44:34,671 --> 00:44:38,075
- If not now, then when?
- 709
- 00:44:50,786 --> 00:44:52,022
- Sir?
- 710
- 00:44:54,424 --> 00:44:58,295
- I prefer not to go back on
- my offer of hospitality, sir.
- 711
- 00:44:58,594 --> 00:45:00,363
- I think it ungentlemanly.
- 712
- 00:45:00,564 --> 00:45:02,065
- You think...
- 713
- 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,402
- I'm sorry. What?
- 714
- 00:45:06,902 --> 00:45:09,171
- Ungentlemanly, sir.
- 715
- 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,308
- Father, I think it rude.
- 716
- 00:45:13,142 --> 00:45:14,574
- The boys are here to study.
- 717
- 00:45:14,576 --> 00:45:15,645
- And play billiards.
- 718
- 00:45:16,546 --> 00:45:19,049
- Yes, and play billiards.
- 719
- 00:45:20,450 --> 00:45:23,317
- We've worked hard, sir.
- And these are my friends.
- 720
- 00:45:23,319 --> 00:45:25,989
- And I have made them
- a promise, which...
- 721
- 00:45:27,424 --> 00:45:28,525
- with respect,
- 722
- 00:45:29,426 --> 00:45:30,594
- I would like to keep.
- 723
- 00:45:34,698 --> 00:45:36,033
- Very well.
- 724
- 00:45:46,942 --> 00:45:49,710
- Gilson.
- You're a bloody hero.
- 725
- 00:45:49,712 --> 00:45:52,082
- - Boys, stop.
- - Bloody hero.
- 726
- 00:45:53,082 --> 00:45:55,451
- Helheimr.
- 727
- 00:46:08,330 --> 00:46:09,964
- There's a word in old German,
- 728
- 00:46:09,966 --> 00:46:11,634
- it has no translation
- in English,
- 729
- 00:46:12,033 --> 00:46:14,234
- but it means
- a gift offered fearfully
- 730
- 00:46:14,236 --> 00:46:15,672
- in the wake of an argument.
- 731
- 00:46:15,872 --> 00:46:17,373
- <i>Drachenfutter.</i>
- 732
- 00:46:22,879 --> 00:46:24,681
- Literally, "Dragon Food."
- 733
- 00:46:32,922 --> 00:46:34,256
- So now I'm a dragon?
- 734
- 00:46:41,464 --> 00:46:43,632
- <i>Wagner wrote it
- in four acts.</i>
- 735
- 00:46:43,866 --> 00:46:44,966
- <i>It starts with a ring,</i>
- 736
- 00:46:44,968 --> 00:46:46,801
- a magical ring
- which can rule the world
- 737
- 00:46:46,803 --> 00:46:48,569
- and which is forged
- by a dwarf.
- 738
- 00:46:48,571 --> 00:46:49,772
- It's Alberich.
- 739
- 00:46:50,172 --> 00:46:52,408
- Well, I have picked up the odd
- bit of German mythology.
- 740
- 00:46:52,776 --> 00:46:54,442
- But to harness
- the ring's power,
- 741
- 00:46:54,444 --> 00:46:56,009
- you first have to
- renounce love.
- 742
- 00:46:56,011 --> 00:46:58,781
- Oh. A very sensible exchange,
- in my opinion.
- 743
- 00:46:59,082 --> 00:47:01,551
- Well, that's because
- you're a coldhearted Viking.
- 744
- 00:47:03,252 --> 00:47:04,755
- Two, please. Upper gallery.
- 745
- 00:47:05,455 --> 00:47:07,391
- Gallery
- and upper gallery full.
- 746
- 00:47:07,924 --> 00:47:08,991
- Sorry, what?
- 747
- 00:47:09,357 --> 00:47:12,228
- The gallery and upper gallery
- are full. I'm sorry.
- 748
- 00:47:14,096 --> 00:47:15,529
- Nothing at all?
- 749
- 00:47:15,531 --> 00:47:17,767
- That's what we mean
- by full, sir, yes.
- 750
- 00:47:18,167 --> 00:47:20,436
- There is availability
- in the dress circle.
- 751
- 00:47:23,071 --> 00:47:24,507
- The dress circle.
- 752
- 00:47:26,375 --> 00:47:28,377
- But that's five shillings.
- 753
- 00:47:30,846 --> 00:47:32,413
- And we do
- respectfully ask patrons
- 754
- 00:47:32,415 --> 00:47:34,817
- to dress appropriately
- for that tier, sir.
- 755
- 00:47:38,488 --> 00:47:39,522
- Come on.
- 756
- 00:47:42,625 --> 00:47:43,727
- Edith.
- 757
- 00:47:44,993 --> 00:47:46,228
- Follow me.
- 758
- 00:48:13,022 --> 00:48:14,357
- Sorry.
- 759
- 00:48:14,790 --> 00:48:15,792
- It's fine.
- 760
- 00:48:19,728 --> 00:48:21,098
- Humiliating.
- 761
- 00:48:21,997 --> 00:48:25,199
- Counting out the pennies.
- It's shameful.
- 762
- 00:48:28,238 --> 00:48:30,107
- I'm not going
- to live like that.
- 763
- 00:48:31,073 --> 00:48:32,307
- And neither should you.
- 764
- 00:48:32,942 --> 00:48:34,074
- They're just tickets.
- We can...
- 765
- 00:48:34,076 --> 00:48:35,243
- It's not the tickets.
- 766
- 00:48:35,245 --> 00:48:37,380
- It's about not losing
- the people you love.
- 767
- 00:48:38,281 --> 00:48:39,748
- Looking after them.
- 768
- 00:48:42,151 --> 00:48:43,719
- My mother, she...
- 769
- 00:48:45,254 --> 00:48:46,522
- She was sick.
- 770
- 00:48:48,991 --> 00:48:50,459
- I don't know what it was.
- 771
- 00:48:52,962 --> 00:48:54,631
- But, maybe,
- if I could have paid...
- 772
- 00:48:55,196 --> 00:48:56,765
- for a doctor, I...
- 773
- 00:48:56,998 --> 00:48:58,267
- then...
- 774
- 00:49:02,437 --> 00:49:03,539
- Sorry.
- 775
- 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:05,808
- This isn't going to work.
- 776
- 00:49:06,743 --> 00:49:08,341
- It was a nice idea, though.
- 777
- 00:51:54,009 --> 00:51:55,478
- <i>You may begin.</i>
- 778
- 00:51:55,977 --> 00:51:58,379
- Oxford entrance. Paper 1.
- 779
- 00:51:58,381 --> 00:52:00,183
- The time is nine o'clock,
- 780
- 00:52:00,482 --> 00:52:02,751
- and you have three hours.
- 781
- 00:52:03,953 --> 00:52:05,322
- Good luck.
- 782
- 00:52:10,593 --> 00:52:12,127
- <i>Look, I can take it again.</i>
- 783
- 00:52:12,460 --> 00:52:14,627
- I can take it again,
- and I can pass.
- 784
- 00:52:14,629 --> 00:52:16,198
- To pass is not enough.
- 785
- 00:52:16,397 --> 00:52:17,800
- You need a scholarship.
- 786
- 00:52:19,368 --> 00:52:20,736
- I'm worried, Ronald.
- 787
- 00:52:21,603 --> 00:52:25,507
- I'm sure Master Gilson
- has no need for a scholarship.
- 788
- 00:52:25,875 --> 00:52:27,375
- As for Geoffrey Smith...
- 789
- 00:52:27,377 --> 00:52:28,808
- This has nothing to do
- with my friends.
- 790
- 00:52:28,810 --> 00:52:31,680
- We encourage each other,
- we push each other on.
- 791
- 00:52:35,084 --> 00:52:36,386
- Your fellow lodger.
- 792
- 00:52:36,986 --> 00:52:38,020
- Miss Bratt.
- 793
- 00:52:39,189 --> 00:52:41,390
- No, Edith has nothing to do
- with my failing that exam.
- 794
- 00:52:41,656 --> 00:52:45,027
- You were seen coming out
- of her room. At night.
- 795
- 00:52:45,261 --> 00:52:46,329
- We talked.
- 796
- 00:52:46,629 --> 00:52:47,862
- We talk to each other.
- 797
- 00:52:47,864 --> 00:52:49,663
- - Oh. So, it's true.
- - Yes, of course it's true.
- 798
- 00:52:49,665 --> 00:52:50,964
- - It doesn't...
- - The night before the exam,
- 799
- 00:52:50,966 --> 00:52:52,866
- you accompanied her
- to the concert hall.
- 800
- 00:52:52,868 --> 00:52:55,404
- That, also,
- has nothing to do with this?
- 801
- 00:52:55,870 --> 00:52:58,407
- She's not even
- Catholic, Ronald.
- 802
- 00:53:00,910 --> 00:53:02,045
- Your mother
- 803
- 00:53:02,877 --> 00:53:04,013
- made a sacrifice.
- 804
- 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:06,446
- She knew she was dying
- 805
- 00:53:06,448 --> 00:53:09,985
- and she trusted your future
- and education to me.
- 806
- 00:53:10,553 --> 00:53:12,522
- I intend to honor that.
- 807
- 00:53:13,622 --> 00:53:15,823
- The time has come
- for you to choose
- 808
- 00:53:15,825 --> 00:53:18,495
- whether or not you will follow
- in her example.
- 809
- 00:53:19,227 --> 00:53:21,194
- I don't think I understand.
- 810
- 00:53:21,196 --> 00:53:22,362
- I must ask you
- 811
- 00:53:22,364 --> 00:53:23,864
- to have nothing more
- to do with Miss Bratt.
- 812
- 00:53:23,866 --> 00:53:26,732
- That's ridiculous.
- That's completely unfair.
- 813
- 00:53:26,734 --> 00:53:29,037
- - Nevertheless.
- - No. No, I...
- 814
- 00:53:29,439 --> 00:53:30,603
- I can't. I won't.
- 815
- 00:53:30,605 --> 00:53:32,306
- I am your legal guardian...
- 816
- 00:53:32,308 --> 00:53:33,841
- Yes, but you don't understand.
- 817
- 00:53:33,843 --> 00:53:36,178
- - Oh, I understand perfectly.
- - No. Father.
- 818
- 00:53:37,846 --> 00:53:38,948
- I love her.
- 819
- 00:53:43,018 --> 00:53:44,187
- I wish...
- 820
- 00:53:45,053 --> 00:53:46,687
- Ronald, I wish you could enjoy
- 821
- 00:53:46,689 --> 00:53:48,623
- the same luxuries
- other boys do.
- 822
- 00:53:48,625 --> 00:53:51,391
- - I wish...
- - No, you're jealous.
- 823
- 00:53:51,393 --> 00:53:53,027
- You don't want that at all.
- You're jealous.
- 824
- 00:53:53,029 --> 00:53:54,728
- You say that but you don't
- mean it. You're a priest.
- 825
- 00:53:54,730 --> 00:53:56,429
- You don't know anything
- about love. How could you?
- 826
- 00:53:56,431 --> 00:53:57,832
- - Listen to me.
- - You want me to be alone.
- 827
- 00:53:57,834 --> 00:53:59,565
- You want me to live alone
- like you and have nothing.
- 828
- 00:53:59,567 --> 00:54:00,868
- I won't.
- I won't live like that.
- 829
- 00:54:00,870 --> 00:54:03,603
- If after the age of 21,
- you still feel the same way,
- 830
- 00:54:03,605 --> 00:54:06,609
- you are, of course,
- free to do as you please.
- 831
- 00:54:08,377 --> 00:54:09,778
- Until that time,
- 832
- 00:54:10,178 --> 00:54:11,844
- you have a duty to fulfill.
- 833
- 00:54:11,846 --> 00:54:14,049
- And you will fulfill it,
- Ronald.
- 834
- 00:54:14,984 --> 00:54:17,620
- So, help me God,
- you will fulfill it.
- 835
- 00:54:26,629 --> 00:54:28,096
- <i>I can't fail it again.</i>
- 836
- 00:54:28,797 --> 00:54:31,000
- And you know what will happen
- if I don't get into Oxford.
- 837
- 00:54:35,404 --> 00:54:36,469
- I could become a priest,
- 838
- 00:54:36,471 --> 00:54:37,737
- but I don't think
- a life of celibacy
- 839
- 00:54:37,739 --> 00:54:39,508
- is what either of us
- had in mind.
- 840
- 00:54:42,877 --> 00:54:43,912
- Edith?
- 841
- 00:54:49,917 --> 00:54:52,185
- Edith, it's just until
- I reach my majority.
- 842
- 00:54:52,187 --> 00:54:53,723
- Oh, for God's sake, Ronald.
- 843
- 00:54:54,056 --> 00:54:55,525
- Don't be so dramatic.
- 844
- 00:54:57,593 --> 00:54:58,893
- It doesn't matter.
- 845
- 00:54:58,895 --> 00:55:00,726
- No, don't say that.
- Of course, it matters.
- 846
- 00:55:00,728 --> 00:55:02,765
- I don't know why
- you're taking it so hard.
- 847
- 00:55:02,964 --> 00:55:06,035
- Things are just returning
- to normal, that's all.
- 848
- 00:55:06,268 --> 00:55:07,435
- To reality.
- 849
- 00:55:07,437 --> 00:55:10,270
- No, I won't give up
- on our future.
- 850
- 00:55:10,272 --> 00:55:11,274
- That's why I'm...
- 851
- 00:55:12,808 --> 00:55:14,544
- I refuse to give up on that.
- 852
- 00:55:17,980 --> 00:55:19,248
- Of course, you will.
- 853
- 00:55:20,850 --> 00:55:22,719
- More quickly than you think.
- 854
- 00:55:26,455 --> 00:55:28,087
- - So will I.
- - No, that's not true.
- 855
- 00:55:28,089 --> 00:55:29,625
- Edith, please. Look...
- 856
- 00:55:32,328 --> 00:55:33,362
- I let myself believe
- 857
- 00:55:33,629 --> 00:55:35,698
- that there were happy endings
- for people like us.
- 858
- 00:55:36,431 --> 00:55:37,700
- But there aren't.
- 859
- 00:55:37,933 --> 00:55:38,868
- There can't be.
- 860
- 00:55:42,538 --> 00:55:44,306
- But you get your happy ending.
- 861
- 00:55:46,776 --> 00:55:48,710
- Hope you enjoy Oxford.
- 862
- 00:55:49,477 --> 00:55:51,547
- No. Edith.
- 863
- 00:56:16,404 --> 00:56:17,739
- I need your help.
- 864
- 00:56:18,140 --> 00:56:19,509
- I need to rest, Sam.
- 865
- 00:56:19,908 --> 00:56:21,910
- You have to find Geoffrey.
- 866
- 00:56:22,477 --> 00:56:23,676
- Sir, I'm not leaving you here.
- 867
- 00:56:23,678 --> 00:56:26,145
- - Sam.
- - I'm not leaving you here.
- 868
- 00:56:26,147 --> 00:56:28,549
- Sam. It's an order.
- 869
- 00:56:28,984 --> 00:56:32,154
- Find Geoffrey
- and tell him not to lose hope.
- 870
- 00:56:34,390 --> 00:56:36,725
- Tell him that
- the T.C.B.S., we...
- 871
- 00:56:39,761 --> 00:56:41,163
- Just keep him alive.
- 872
- 00:57:01,384 --> 00:57:03,252
- Thank you, Sam.
- 873
- 00:57:08,223 --> 00:57:10,556
- - Is it a dragon?
- - It's a dragon. It's a dragon.
- 874
- 00:57:10,558 --> 00:57:11,792
- For goodness' sake.
- 875
- 00:57:11,794 --> 00:57:14,094
- I was wondering,
- did I mention before...
- 876
- 00:57:14,096 --> 00:57:15,763
- The set of the play is
- very much inspired
- 877
- 00:57:15,765 --> 00:57:17,031
- by the architecture
- of Trinity.
- 878
- 00:57:17,033 --> 00:57:17,864
- Sorry, chaps.
- 879
- 00:57:17,866 --> 00:57:20,168
- - But what's it about?
- - Well...
- 880
- 00:57:20,368 --> 00:57:23,270
- - And so, you're the poet?
- - No, uh, that's Geoffrey.
- 881
- 00:57:23,272 --> 00:57:25,808
- I think you Oxford men
- should be upping the game. No?
- 882
- 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:27,774
- - Where are we off to next?
- - Yes, do tell.
- 883
- 00:57:27,776 --> 00:57:29,942
- Yes, where shall we...?
- Sorry, excuse me.
- 884
- 00:57:29,944 --> 00:57:31,080
- Um...
- 885
- 00:57:31,913 --> 00:57:32,915
- Right.
- 886
- 00:57:38,152 --> 00:57:39,987
- Stealing a bus?
- That's your plan?
- 887
- 00:57:39,989 --> 00:57:42,522
- - Gilson! Quiet!
- - Hurry up!
- 888
- 00:57:42,524 --> 00:57:43,593
- Shh!
- 889
- 00:57:43,859 --> 00:57:46,091
- I think that particular match
- it was the Oxford men
- 890
- 00:57:46,093 --> 00:57:48,027
- versus the Cambridge boys.
- 891
- 00:57:48,029 --> 00:57:50,698
- Oh, come on,
- the referee was blind.
- 892
- 00:57:50,700 --> 00:57:52,098
- I hereby declare
- 893
- 00:57:52,100 --> 00:57:54,734
- the third Oxford council
- of the T.C.B.S.
- 894
- 00:57:54,736 --> 00:57:56,671
- well and truly open.
- 895
- 00:57:56,904 --> 00:57:58,004
- And would like to welcome
- 896
- 00:57:58,006 --> 00:57:59,640
- our damsels
- from the Eagle and Child
- 897
- 00:57:59,642 --> 00:58:00,775
- as honorary guests.
- 898
- 00:58:00,777 --> 00:58:02,808
- May all our meetings
- take place
- 899
- 00:58:02,810 --> 00:58:03,879
- on an abandoned omnibus.
- 900
- 00:58:04,113 --> 00:58:05,712
- I think the word "abandoned"
- might be stretching it.
- 901
- 00:58:05,714 --> 00:58:06,913
- Maybe a bit.
- 902
- 00:58:06,915 --> 00:58:08,584
- What is the T.C.B.?
- 903
- 00:58:09,018 --> 00:58:10,886
- - Oh, the T.C.B.S.
- - Oh.
- 904
- 00:58:11,687 --> 00:58:14,223
- I don't think you like me,
- Mr. Burglar.
- 905
- 00:58:14,756 --> 00:58:16,957
- - Sorry, I was just...
- - I apologize for my friend.
- 906
- 00:58:16,959 --> 00:58:18,926
- - He's pining for someone.
- - What?
- 907
- 00:58:18,928 --> 00:58:20,861
- He's pining
- for the delectable Miss Bratt.
- 908
- 00:58:20,863 --> 00:58:21,929
- Take no notice of him.
- 909
- 00:58:21,931 --> 00:58:23,129
- Who's the delectable
- Miss Bratt?
- 910
- 00:58:23,131 --> 00:58:24,663
- - She's no one.
- - Oh, is she, Tollers?
- 911
- 00:58:24,665 --> 00:58:25,766
- The way you've been
- moping around
- 912
- 00:58:25,768 --> 00:58:26,769
- for the past couple of months.
- 913
- 00:58:26,968 --> 00:58:28,467
- It's not very nice
- to talk about another lady
- 914
- 00:58:28,469 --> 00:58:29,471
- when you're with someone.
- 915
- 00:58:29,739 --> 00:58:31,274
- No, you're absolutely right.
- I apologize, Myrtle.
- 916
- 00:58:31,540 --> 00:58:33,105
- It's Beryl.
- 917
- 00:58:33,107 --> 00:58:35,542
- See? See? Sitting in the arms
- of a beautiful girl
- 918
- 00:58:35,544 --> 00:58:36,975
- and he can't even
- remember her name.
- 919
- 00:58:36,977 --> 00:58:38,312
- I'm sorry if my difficulties
- 920
- 00:58:38,314 --> 00:58:39,812
- are getting in the way
- of your diversions.
- 921
- 00:58:39,814 --> 00:58:41,380
- Ah, you made a decision,
- Tolkien.
- 922
- 00:58:41,382 --> 00:58:42,584
- Nobody forced you into it.
- 923
- 00:58:42,884 --> 00:58:44,317
- - What?
- - Edith or Oxford.
- 924
- 00:58:44,319 --> 00:58:46,020
- You chose Oxford,
- and here you are!
- 925
- 00:58:46,022 --> 00:58:48,087
- Sat on a commandeered bus
- with three beautiful girls
- 926
- 00:58:48,089 --> 00:58:49,922
- and your best friends. For
- God's sake, enjoy yourself!
- 927
- 00:58:49,924 --> 00:58:51,725
- - Nobody forced me?
- - Oh, yes...
- 928
- 00:58:51,727 --> 00:58:53,025
- The priest. Your benefactor.
- 929
- 00:58:53,027 --> 00:58:54,096
- Chris, this is
- getting out of hand.
- 930
- 00:58:54,495 --> 00:58:56,161
- - Don't talk about things you...
- - Thank you. This was wonderful.
- 931
- 00:58:56,163 --> 00:58:57,596
- You let her go.
- You didn't want her
- 932
- 00:58:57,598 --> 00:58:58,567
- - more than you wanted Oxford.
- - No.
- 933
- 00:58:58,935 --> 00:59:00,533
- - I didn't have a choice.
- - Does that make you a rotter?
- 934
- 00:59:00,535 --> 00:59:01,734
- Does that make you
- something else?
- 935
- 00:59:01,736 --> 00:59:03,704
- - What's the matter with you?
- - Just shut up!
- 936
- 00:59:03,904 --> 00:59:05,438
- Oh, for God's sake, Tollers.
- 937
- 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:07,810
- Chris. Sorry, Chris.
- 938
- 00:59:09,143 --> 00:59:11,312
- - Bloody hell, Tollers.
- - Are you all right?
- 939
- 00:59:11,747 --> 00:59:12,846
- For an intellectual,
- 940
- 00:59:12,848 --> 00:59:14,515
- you've quite
- an impressive right hook.
- 941
- 00:59:14,517 --> 00:59:16,183
- - Hit me back. Please.
- - No.
- 942
- 00:59:16,185 --> 00:59:17,887
- Hit me back right now.
- Please, Chris.
- 943
- 00:59:18,087 --> 00:59:19,919
- - Forget it. Forget it.
- - Chris, please.
- 944
- 00:59:19,921 --> 00:59:21,223
- It's fine.
- 945
- 00:59:23,326 --> 00:59:25,461
- No, that was horrible of me.
- I'm sorry.
- 946
- 00:59:28,964 --> 00:59:32,335
- What you need
- to understand, Tolkien, you...
- 947
- 00:59:32,902 --> 00:59:34,569
- poor lawless orphan,
- 948
- 00:59:35,069 --> 00:59:37,073
- is that we are your brothers.
- 949
- 00:59:37,707 --> 00:59:38,839
- Through everything.
- 950
- 00:59:38,841 --> 00:59:40,777
- Yes, absolutely.
- 951
- 00:59:41,143 --> 00:59:42,176
- Exactly.
- 952
- 00:59:42,178 --> 00:59:45,080
- This is more than...
- just a friendship.
- 953
- 00:59:45,547 --> 00:59:46,949
- It's an alliance.
- 954
- 00:59:47,649 --> 00:59:50,118
- An invincible alliance.
- 955
- 00:59:50,785 --> 00:59:51,786
- Helheimr!
- 956
- 00:59:52,020 --> 00:59:54,721
- - Helheimr.
- - Still Helheimr.
- 957
- 00:59:54,723 --> 00:59:56,690
- Every time he gets it wrong.
- 958
- 00:59:56,692 --> 00:59:57,757
- Right, I need a drink.
- 959
- 00:59:57,759 --> 00:59:58,891
- Where did the girls go?
- 960
- 00:59:58,893 --> 01:00:00,796
- Shh. Get down.
- 961
- 01:00:02,297 --> 01:00:04,200
- Hold the door, George.
- 962
- 01:00:08,969 --> 01:00:10,973
- They let you out in one piece.
- 963
- 01:00:11,906 --> 01:00:14,376
- They're speaking to the rector
- in the morning.
- 964
- 01:00:15,777 --> 01:00:16,779
- What about you?
- 965
- 01:00:17,046 --> 01:00:19,645
- Well, Gilson and Wiseman,
- the Cambridge swines,
- 966
- 01:00:19,647 --> 01:00:21,015
- have been let go already.
- 967
- 01:00:21,415 --> 01:00:22,815
- I wasn't quite so lucky.
- 968
- 01:00:22,817 --> 01:00:23,884
- Looks like I'll be joining you
- 969
- 01:00:23,886 --> 01:00:25,486
- in the rector's office
- tomorrow.
- 970
- 01:00:25,488 --> 01:00:27,056
- Death by lecture.
- 971
- 01:00:27,489 --> 01:00:28,422
- I'm sorry, Geoff.
- 972
- 01:00:28,424 --> 01:00:30,626
- - No, it's not your fault.
- - No, it is.
- 973
- 01:00:31,058 --> 01:00:32,859
- If it wasn't for me,
- you'd be in the arms
- 974
- 01:00:32,861 --> 01:00:34,762
- of the delightful Mary by now.
- 975
- 01:00:35,062 --> 01:00:37,330
- Please. The moment
- I showed any interest,
- 976
- 01:00:37,332 --> 01:00:39,201
- she started talking about
- her sweetheart.
- 977
- 01:00:39,502 --> 01:00:41,871
- I was doing all right
- until Wiseman ruined it.
- 978
- 01:01:15,603 --> 01:01:17,806
- The rector was
- honestly writing to my mother.
- 979
- 01:01:18,239 --> 01:01:20,408
- Do you think I stand a chance
- of becoming a poet after this?
- 980
- 01:01:21,176 --> 01:01:24,243
- She's going to lose her mind.
- So, that's that.
- 981
- 01:01:24,245 --> 01:01:26,814
- Oh, Geoffrey's
- only lost his career.
- 982
- 01:01:27,149 --> 01:01:28,917
- What did you get, Tolkien?
- 983
- 01:01:30,618 --> 01:01:33,154
- I got sent down.
- 984
- 01:01:34,156 --> 01:01:35,688
- Are you joking, Tollers?
- 985
- 01:01:35,690 --> 01:01:36,924
- They can't
- send you down for that.
- 986
- 01:01:36,926 --> 01:01:38,290
- For a bloody picnic on a bus.
- 987
- 01:01:38,292 --> 01:01:39,961
- The bus was the least of it.
- 988
- 01:01:41,062 --> 01:01:42,497
- I haven't achieved the grades.
- 989
- 01:01:42,696 --> 01:01:43,830
- According to the rector,
- 990
- 01:01:43,832 --> 01:01:45,297
- I have no flair
- for the Greats,
- 991
- 01:01:45,299 --> 01:01:48,469
- and only a passing interest
- in the ancient Greeks.
- 992
- 01:01:48,471 --> 01:01:49,672
- So, they won't endorse
- my scholarship.
- 993
- 01:01:49,939 --> 01:01:51,605
- Yes, but that doesn't mean
- you have to go down.
- 994
- 01:01:51,806 --> 01:01:54,473
- No, of course not.
- How stupid of me.
- 995
- 01:01:54,475 --> 01:01:56,442
- Yes, when Mama gets back
- from Monte Carlo,
- 996
- 01:01:56,444 --> 01:01:57,944
- I'll ask her
- to write another check.
- 997
- 01:02:00,783 --> 01:02:02,084
- What are you going to do?
- 998
- 01:02:03,051 --> 01:02:04,884
- They'll endorse my scholarship
- until the end of term.
- 999
- 01:02:04,886 --> 01:02:07,022
- After that, I have to finance
- my own studies.
- 1000
- 01:02:07,221 --> 01:02:08,754
- Which is, of course,
- impossible,
- 1001
- 01:02:08,756 --> 01:02:10,558
- so, get a job, I suppose.
- 1002
- 01:02:12,993 --> 01:02:14,062
- Well, doing what?
- 1003
- 01:02:15,464 --> 01:02:18,600
- I will go back to Birmingham
- and work in a bakery.
- 1004
- 01:02:19,100 --> 01:02:22,736
- Or I will make shoes
- for rich dimwits like you
- 1005
- 01:02:22,738 --> 01:02:23,939
- who come in
- waving their wallets.
- 1006
- 01:02:24,339 --> 01:02:26,408
- I could do with a new pair
- of Oxfords, anyway.
- 1007
- 01:02:28,710 --> 01:02:29,779
- But, in all seriousness,
- 1008
- 01:02:29,978 --> 01:02:32,281
- you've always had more flair
- than any of us.
- 1009
- 01:02:33,181 --> 01:02:34,216
- And...
- 1010
- 01:02:34,917 --> 01:02:35,918
- I'll be honest,
- 1011
- 01:02:36,218 --> 01:02:37,520
- I sometimes hated you for it.
- 1012
- 01:02:39,455 --> 01:02:40,154
- But, out of us all,
- 1013
- 01:02:40,455 --> 01:02:42,491
- you're the last person
- who should be sent down.
- 1014
- 01:02:44,993 --> 01:02:47,194
- So, tomorrow is our last game.
- 1015
- 01:02:47,196 --> 01:02:49,062
- We're gonna really
- miss thrashing you, chaps.
- 1016
- 01:02:49,064 --> 01:02:50,230
- Please.
- 1017
- 01:03:00,776 --> 01:03:02,542
- Wiseman, stop him!
- 1018
- 01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:14,189
- - Well done, Tolkien.
- - Thank you.
- 1019
- 01:03:14,823 --> 01:03:17,024
- Good game, boys.
- 1020
- 01:03:17,225 --> 01:03:19,826
- - That was a beautiful run.
- - Well played, you big oaf.
- 1021
- 01:03:19,828 --> 01:03:21,228
- You weren't a total fool,
- Tollers.
- 1022
- 01:03:21,230 --> 01:03:22,962
- Sorry, what was
- the score, Wiseman?
- 1023
- 01:03:25,167 --> 01:03:26,569
- Well played, lads.
- 1024
- 01:03:27,703 --> 01:03:28,969
- Hello, Mother.
- 1025
- 01:03:28,971 --> 01:03:30,672
- - Well played, Geoffrey.
- - Thank you for coming.
- 1026
- 01:03:31,205 --> 01:03:32,571
- Are we still on
- for dinner later?
- 1027
- 01:03:32,573 --> 01:03:34,075
- Yes. Seven o'clock.
- 1028
- 01:03:34,276 --> 01:03:36,178
- And your father will be there.
- 1029
- 01:03:43,685 --> 01:03:44,953
- Excuse me, Mrs. Smith.
- 1030
- 01:03:45,654 --> 01:03:48,056
- I wondered if I might
- have a brief word.
- 1031
- 01:03:49,290 --> 01:03:50,191
- Well?
- 1032
- 01:03:50,526 --> 01:03:53,527
- It's about Geoffrey and, um,
- this business with the rector.
- 1033
- 01:03:53,529 --> 01:03:55,094
- It's been the most dreadful
- misunderstanding.
- 1034
- 01:03:55,096 --> 01:03:57,098
- I'd prefer not to talk about
- that, if you don't mind.
- 1035
- 01:03:58,466 --> 01:04:00,567
- I'm responsible for everything
- that happened that night
- 1036
- 01:04:00,569 --> 01:04:02,804
- and I assure you
- I've been thoroughly punished.
- 1037
- 01:04:03,038 --> 01:04:04,203
- I'm trying to say,
- please don't
- 1038
- 01:04:04,205 --> 01:04:05,371
- make things harder
- on Geoffrey.
- 1039
- 01:04:05,373 --> 01:04:08,074
- He's one of the most
- diligent people I know.
- 1040
- 01:04:08,076 --> 01:04:09,010
- And the kindest.
- 1041
- 01:04:09,210 --> 01:04:10,576
- He tries so hard
- to make you proud of him.
- 1042
- 01:04:10,578 --> 01:04:11,846
- And he has such
- exceptional talents.
- 1043
- 01:04:12,047 --> 01:04:13,413
- I know
- I'm speaking out of line...
- 1044
- 01:04:13,415 --> 01:04:15,315
- - And you were responsible?
- - Yes.
- 1045
- 01:04:15,317 --> 01:04:18,118
- Yes, and I've been sent down.
- 1046
- 01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,489
- So, you needn't worry about
- my influence anymore.
- 1047
- 01:04:21,656 --> 01:04:22,825
- And, um...
- 1048
- 01:04:23,959 --> 01:04:27,627
- What... What talents
- are you referring to?
- 1049
- 01:04:27,629 --> 01:04:28,728
- He's a poet.
- 1050
- 01:04:28,730 --> 01:04:31,163
- He's had his work published
- in college magazines.
- 1051
- 01:04:31,165 --> 01:04:33,102
- He'd kill me for telling
- you this. But he's good.
- 1052
- 01:04:33,935 --> 01:04:35,303
- Good afternoon to you.
- 1053
- 01:04:43,846 --> 01:04:45,081
- Mr. Tolkien?
- 1054
- 01:04:46,214 --> 01:04:48,417
- - This is for you.
- - Thank you.
- 1055
- 01:05:29,158 --> 01:05:31,123
- Students off the grass!
- 1056
- 01:05:31,125 --> 01:05:33,393
- Have you any idea
- what time it is?
- 1057
- 01:05:34,462 --> 01:05:36,198
- You silly old sod!
- 1058
- 01:05:36,497 --> 01:05:39,031
- I say, Wright,
- is he one of yours?
- 1059
- 01:05:39,033 --> 01:05:40,669
- I don't believe he is.
- 1060
- 01:05:43,538 --> 01:05:45,373
- You silly old...
- 1061
- 01:05:46,241 --> 01:05:47,910
- Get off the lawn!
- 1062
- 01:05:59,254 --> 01:06:01,156
- Hail Earendel,
- 1063
- 01:06:03,959 --> 01:06:06,761
- brightest of angels
- sent unto men.
- 1064
- 01:07:02,183 --> 01:07:04,786
- Ronald.
- Ronald, get up.
- 1065
- 01:07:05,419 --> 01:07:07,920
- Get up. It's me. Wake up.
- 1066
- 01:07:07,922 --> 01:07:08,989
- Yes, I'm awake.
- 1067
- 01:07:08,991 --> 01:07:10,355
- You've woken up
- the whole college.
- 1068
- 01:07:10,357 --> 01:07:11,690
- They can't send me down twice,
- can they?
- 1069
- 01:07:11,692 --> 01:07:13,661
- - Pull yourself together.
- - Can they?
- 1070
- 01:07:13,962 --> 01:07:16,263
- Geoff! Geoff, sit down.
- 1071
- 01:07:16,265 --> 01:07:18,397
- Have a drink. Wonderful malt.
- 1072
- 01:07:18,399 --> 01:07:20,768
- I don't want a drink.
- Pull yourself together, John.
- 1073
- 01:07:28,509 --> 01:07:30,743
- Would you like to come
- to a wedding?
- 1074
- 01:07:30,745 --> 01:07:31,880
- What?
- 1075
- 01:07:32,279 --> 01:07:34,547
- - Very beautiful, English...
- - John...
- 1076
- 01:07:34,549 --> 01:07:36,652
- - ...summer wedding.
- - You're not making any sense.
- 1077
- 01:07:37,718 --> 01:07:38,720
- Edith.
- 1078
- 01:07:39,221 --> 01:07:40,556
- Congratulations.
- 1079
- 01:07:42,089 --> 01:07:43,658
- Yes, she wrote to me. She's...
- 1080
- 01:07:44,225 --> 01:07:45,493
- She's engaged.
- 1081
- 01:07:46,093 --> 01:07:47,328
- She's getting married.
- 1082
- 01:07:48,263 --> 01:07:49,598
- Oh, John, that's...
- 1083
- 01:07:50,332 --> 01:07:51,866
- That's awfully bad luck.
- 1084
- 01:07:53,502 --> 01:07:55,467
- I'm sorry.
- I'm in a bit of a mess.
- 1085
- 01:07:55,469 --> 01:07:57,937
- - No, that's okay. Hey, hey...
- - Sorry, Geoff.
- 1086
- 01:07:57,939 --> 01:07:59,605
- It's okay. It's okay.
- 1087
- 01:07:59,607 --> 01:08:01,610
- That's okay.
- 1088
- 01:08:04,846 --> 01:08:06,415
- I've got you.
- 1089
- 01:08:08,951 --> 01:08:09,952
- I've got you.
- 1090
- 01:08:10,886 --> 01:08:12,688
- Fencers salute!
- 1091
- 01:08:17,459 --> 01:08:19,892
- How are you feeling?
- 1092
- 01:08:19,894 --> 01:08:21,729
- Oh, absolutely fantastic.
- 1093
- 01:08:22,897 --> 01:08:24,099
- Delightful.
- 1094
- 01:08:24,666 --> 01:08:27,068
- And what a marvelous idea
- this was, thank you.
- 1095
- 01:08:31,674 --> 01:08:32,940
- To love someone,
- 1096
- 01:08:33,908 --> 01:08:38,145
- who, for whatever reason,
- cannot return your feelings
- 1097
- 01:08:38,346 --> 01:08:40,381
- is painful.
- 1098
- 01:08:42,617 --> 01:08:44,419
- But if you listen
- to the poets,
- 1099
- 01:08:46,354 --> 01:08:49,892
- perhaps there's a kind
- of beauty to that love.
- 1100
- 01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:52,928
- It burns.
- 1101
- 01:08:53,595 --> 01:08:54,561
- Bright.
- 1102
- 01:08:54,563 --> 01:08:58,434
- And it's never tainted
- by reality or by...
- 1103
- 01:08:59,033 --> 01:09:00,035
- overuse.
- 1104
- 01:09:01,970 --> 01:09:03,735
- It's as clear and fierce today
- 1105
- 01:09:03,737 --> 01:09:05,637
- as it was
- the very first day it began.
- 1106
- 01:09:05,639 --> 01:09:07,575
- And there's beauty to that,
- 1107
- 01:09:09,077 --> 01:09:10,379
- I think.
- 1108
- 01:09:12,746 --> 01:09:14,682
- At least, that's what
- I cling to, anyway.
- 1109
- 01:09:27,929 --> 01:09:29,098
- <i>Hails!</i>
- 1110
- 01:09:30,832 --> 01:09:32,000
- Uh... <i>Hails!</i>
- 1111
- 01:09:35,336 --> 01:09:37,605
- Another gobbledygook speaker.
- 1112
- 01:09:42,777 --> 01:09:46,581
- How are you, uh,
- finding the Gothic Primer?
- 1113
- 01:09:47,114 --> 01:09:50,350
- Yes. Not bad. The preface
- is pretty well written.
- 1114
- 01:09:50,352 --> 01:09:52,785
- There's not much
- of the language itself.
- 1115
- 01:09:52,787 --> 01:09:54,856
- - Ah, a pity about that.
- - Yes.
- 1116
- 01:09:55,657 --> 01:09:59,491
- - Last night in the quad...
- - God. You were there.
- 1117
- 01:09:59,493 --> 01:10:02,264
- ...I heard a language
- I was unfamiliar with.
- 1118
- 01:10:02,596 --> 01:10:04,129
- Well, of course,
- the greater part
- 1119
- 01:10:04,131 --> 01:10:05,865
- of Oxfordshire heard it too,
- 1120
- 01:10:05,867 --> 01:10:08,470
- right up to
- the Chiltern Hills.
- 1121
- 01:10:09,537 --> 01:10:11,039
- I was very drunk.
- 1122
- 01:10:11,473 --> 01:10:12,940
- I don't doubt it.
- 1123
- 01:10:16,310 --> 01:10:18,179
- It was utter nonsense.
- 1124
- 01:10:18,746 --> 01:10:20,614
- A language I invented
- for the fairies.
- 1125
- 01:10:21,081 --> 01:10:24,751
- I thought perhaps
- I heard some Finnish.
- 1126
- 01:10:25,220 --> 01:10:27,188
- - Yes. I stole a good deal.
- - Ah.
- 1127
- 01:10:27,522 --> 01:10:29,655
- - Not stole.
- - No.
- 1128
- 01:10:29,657 --> 01:10:31,894
- Languages never steal.
- 1129
- 01:10:32,493 --> 01:10:34,761
- - Right.
- - Influenced.
- 1130
- 01:10:35,529 --> 01:10:38,000
- Sorry, I didn't
- catch your name. I'm...
- 1131
- 01:10:40,902 --> 01:10:44,573
- I'm Tolkien. Ronald.
- Exeter College.
- 1132
- 01:11:10,465 --> 01:11:11,700
- Excuse me.
- 1133
- 01:11:19,974 --> 01:11:22,009
- A child points,
- 1134
- 01:11:23,411 --> 01:11:24,980
- and is taught a word.
- 1135
- 01:11:26,147 --> 01:11:27,181
- Tree.
- 1136
- 01:11:27,448 --> 01:11:30,350
- Later, he learns
- to distinguish this tree
- 1137
- 01:11:30,352 --> 01:11:31,618
- from all the others.
- 1138
- 01:11:31,620 --> 01:11:33,956
- He learns its particular name.
- 1139
- 01:11:34,688 --> 01:11:36,390
- He plays under the tree.
- 1140
- 01:11:36,590 --> 01:11:38,359
- He dances around it.
- 1141
- 01:11:39,059 --> 01:11:43,831
- Stands beneath its branches,
- for shade or shelter.
- 1142
- 01:11:44,599 --> 01:11:47,636
- He kisses under it,
- he sleeps under it,
- 1143
- 01:11:48,135 --> 01:11:49,837
- he weds under it.
- 1144
- 01:11:50,538 --> 01:11:53,642
- He marches past it
- on his way to war,
- 1145
- 01:11:54,675 --> 01:11:58,279
- and limps back past it
- on his journey home.
- 1146
- 01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:03,084
- A king is said to have
- hidden in this tree.
- 1147
- 01:12:03,684 --> 01:12:08,389
- A spirit may dwell
- within its bark.
- 1148
- 01:12:08,822 --> 01:12:10,255
- Its distinctive leaves
- 1149
- 01:12:10,257 --> 01:12:13,825
- are carved onto the tombs and
- monuments of his landlords.
- 1150
- 01:12:13,827 --> 01:12:16,995
- Its wood might have built
- the galleons
- 1151
- 01:12:16,997 --> 01:12:19,999
- that saved his ancestors
- from invasion.
- 1152
- 01:12:20,001 --> 01:12:21,703
- And all this,
- 1153
- 01:12:22,403 --> 01:12:24,736
- the general and the specific,
- 1154
- 01:12:24,738 --> 01:12:26,172
- the national and the personal,
- 1155
- 01:12:26,174 --> 01:12:27,743
- all this,
- 1156
- 01:12:28,343 --> 01:12:29,745
- he knows,
- 1157
- 01:12:30,144 --> 01:12:31,612
- and feels,
- 1158
- 01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:35,082
- and summons, somehow,
- however faintly,
- 1159
- 01:12:35,384 --> 01:12:39,288
- with the utterance
- of a single sound.
- 1160
- 01:12:42,224 --> 01:12:43,292
- Oak.
- 1161
- 01:12:45,792 --> 01:12:48,494
- Saxon word. Proto-Germanic.
- 1162
- 01:12:48,496 --> 01:12:50,933
- Cognates in Old Norse. <i>Eik.</i>
- 1163
- 01:12:51,666 --> 01:12:54,232
- Language is never nonsense.
- 1164
- 01:12:54,234 --> 01:12:56,336
- Language is meaning.
- 1165
- 01:12:56,636 --> 01:12:59,674
- History.
- Layer upon layer upon layer.
- 1166
- 01:13:00,474 --> 01:13:03,911
- And a word without meaning
- is what?
- 1167
- 01:13:04,612 --> 01:13:06,047
- Merely a sound.
- 1168
- 01:13:07,047 --> 01:13:08,884
- Someone else
- once said that to me.
- 1169
- 01:13:09,117 --> 01:13:12,054
- With a good deal more economy,
- I shouldn't wonder.
- 1170
- 01:13:13,587 --> 01:13:16,254
- There are one or two
- original Gothic texts
- 1171
- 01:13:16,256 --> 01:13:17,356
- in the library.
- 1172
- 01:13:17,358 --> 01:13:18,427
- You should take a look.
- 1173
- 01:13:18,626 --> 01:13:20,860
- But I can't just walk in
- and ask for the originals.
- 1174
- 01:13:20,862 --> 01:13:22,931
- Tell them Professor Wright
- sent you.
- 1175
- 01:13:39,915 --> 01:13:41,547
- <i>He wouldn't have cared.</i>
- 1176
- 01:13:41,549 --> 01:13:42,681
- That's not the point.
- 1177
- 01:13:42,683 --> 01:13:43,915
- He's probably
- the greatest philologist,
- 1178
- 01:13:43,917 --> 01:13:45,450
- certainly
- of the Gothic language.
- 1179
- 01:13:45,452 --> 01:13:46,852
- He might have
- even been flattered.
- 1180
- 01:13:46,854 --> 01:13:48,023
- Of course, he was flattered.
- 1181
- 01:13:48,290 --> 01:13:50,591
- Nobody's taken that book out
- of the library in 1,500 years.
- 1182
- 01:13:50,791 --> 01:13:52,592
- Well, actually,
- I had it out last week.
- 1183
- 01:13:52,594 --> 01:13:53,793
- Oh.
- How did you find it?
- 1184
- 01:13:53,795 --> 01:13:54,895
- I don't want to spoil it
- for Tollers.
- 1185
- 01:13:55,130 --> 01:13:56,762
- He won't finish it. He doesn't
- even know who wrote it.
- 1186
- 01:13:56,764 --> 01:13:58,799
- Please. Will you all just
- shut up? It's not funny.
- 1187
- 01:13:59,134 --> 01:14:00,535
- Listen, Tolkien,
- 1188
- 01:14:00,734 --> 01:14:02,670
- you absolute clown.
- 1189
- 01:14:03,004 --> 01:14:04,872
- This is your chance,
- can't you see?
- 1190
- 01:14:05,072 --> 01:14:07,740
- Your Gothic professor
- is encouraging you to defect.
- 1191
- 01:14:07,742 --> 01:14:08,775
- What are you talking about?
- 1192
- 01:14:08,777 --> 01:14:10,444
- He's enticing you
- into his class.
- 1193
- 01:14:10,912 --> 01:14:12,477
- Sorry.
- 1194
- 01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:13,447
- He's right.
- 1195
- 01:14:13,881 --> 01:14:16,214
- But I can't just breeze
- into the philology department.
- 1196
- 01:14:16,216 --> 01:14:16,917
- Why not?
- 1197
- 01:14:17,285 --> 01:14:19,084
- Because I don't have
- a scholarship, for a start.
- 1198
- 01:14:19,086 --> 01:14:20,819
- So, are you telling me
- that the philology department
- 1199
- 01:14:20,821 --> 01:14:22,254
- don't give out scholarships?
- 1200
- 01:14:22,256 --> 01:14:25,993
- Yes, for someone who happens
- to be a genius with languages.
- 1201
- 01:14:27,094 --> 01:14:29,831
- Moron.
- 1202
- 01:14:30,732 --> 01:14:31,897
- Professor!
- 1203
- 01:14:31,899 --> 01:14:33,732
- - Excuse me, Professor Wright.
- - Yes.
- 1204
- 01:14:33,734 --> 01:14:35,670
- I've been thinking
- about the oak.
- 1205
- 01:14:35,970 --> 01:14:37,268
- Uh, the symbolism of it.
- 1206
- 01:14:37,270 --> 01:14:40,271
- The guardian tree,
- the harbinger of change.
- 1207
- 01:14:40,273 --> 01:14:43,610
- How fascinating. Are you
- a student of arboriculture?
- 1208
- 01:14:43,612 --> 01:14:47,346
- No. I'm studying Greats.
- But I would like...
- 1209
- 01:14:47,348 --> 01:14:48,448
- That's why I stopped you,
- 1210
- 01:14:48,450 --> 01:14:49,748
- I'd like to change
- to your class.
- 1211
- 01:14:49,750 --> 01:14:51,817
- - To study philology.
- - To my class?
- 1212
- 01:14:51,819 --> 01:14:55,754
- Yes. I'm Tolkien.
- Ronald Tolkien.
- 1213
- 01:14:55,756 --> 01:14:57,923
- I stood outside your window
- and shouted obscenities
- 1214
- 01:14:57,925 --> 01:14:59,759
- in a kind of
- bastardized Finnish.
- 1215
- 01:14:59,961 --> 01:15:01,963
- And you consider
- that a recommendation?
- 1216
- 01:15:02,397 --> 01:15:03,695
- I know this is irregular,
- 1217
- 01:15:03,697 --> 01:15:06,065
- but I've realized
- my true passion,
- 1218
- 01:15:06,067 --> 01:15:08,270
- the thing I've been working on
- my entire life...
- 1219
- 01:15:10,371 --> 01:15:11,803
- Can I speak candidly, sir?
- 1220
- 01:15:11,805 --> 01:15:14,742
- You cannot conceive
- how much I would welcome it.
- 1221
- 01:15:15,410 --> 01:15:16,508
- I need a scholarship.
- 1222
- 01:15:16,510 --> 01:15:19,813
- I need a scholarship
- to study philology. With you.
- 1223
- 01:15:20,281 --> 01:15:21,914
- And there are no lengths
- I wouldn't go to,
- 1224
- 01:15:21,916 --> 01:15:23,582
- to prove that
- I'm a worthy candidate.
- 1225
- 01:15:23,584 --> 01:15:24,786
- - No lengths?
- - Yes.
- 1226
- 01:15:30,358 --> 01:15:31,426
- No.
- 1227
- 01:15:32,193 --> 01:15:33,295
- - No?
- - No.
- 1228
- 01:15:33,495 --> 01:15:35,962
- No, because if I left you
- alone to work in peace,
- 1229
- 01:15:35,964 --> 01:15:37,695
- then I wouldn't
- get the privilege
- 1230
- 01:15:37,697 --> 01:15:38,797
- of learning from you,
- 1231
- 01:15:38,799 --> 01:15:40,332
- and that would defeat
- the purpose
- 1232
- 01:15:40,334 --> 01:15:43,839
- of this entire, frankly,
- quite terrifying, interlude.
- 1233
- 01:15:46,273 --> 01:15:47,272
- - Tolkien.
- - Yes, sir.
- 1234
- 01:15:47,274 --> 01:15:49,142
- - German origin.
- - I think so, sir.
- 1235
- 01:15:49,144 --> 01:15:51,143
- From the Anglo-Saxon, perhaps.
- 1236
- 01:15:51,145 --> 01:15:53,415
- - Exactly.
- - <i>Tollkühn.</i>
- 1237
- 01:15:54,148 --> 01:15:55,448
- I'm assuming you don't need me
- 1238
- 01:15:55,450 --> 01:15:58,086
- to translate
- that particular word for you.
- 1239
- 01:15:59,287 --> 01:16:00,355
- Foolhardy.
- 1240
- 01:16:00,988 --> 01:16:02,120
- Professor Wright...
- 1241
- 01:16:02,122 --> 01:16:04,390
- My class is full, Mr. Tolkien.
- 1242
- 01:16:04,392 --> 01:16:08,127
- Full with students who can
- translate Old English,
- 1243
- 01:16:08,129 --> 01:16:10,329
- at least as quickly
- and skillfully as you,
- 1244
- 01:16:10,331 --> 01:16:13,900
- and they've already had two
- terms to establish themselves.
- 1245
- 01:16:13,902 --> 01:16:15,403
- Good afternoon.
- 1246
- 01:16:15,670 --> 01:16:17,005
- Helheimr.
- 1247
- 01:16:17,471 --> 01:16:18,806
- Professor.
- 1248
- 01:16:20,041 --> 01:16:23,075
- Since childhood, I have
- been fascinated with language.
- 1249
- 01:16:23,077 --> 01:16:25,311
- Obsessed with it.
- I've invented my own.
- 1250
- 01:16:25,313 --> 01:16:27,482
- Full, complete languages.
- Look.
- 1251
- 01:16:27,915 --> 01:16:30,452
- This is, it's... everything.
- 1252
- 01:16:31,118 --> 01:16:35,122
- From the <i>Breost-hord.</i>
- My heart.
- 1253
- 01:16:35,555 --> 01:16:37,091
- The treasure of the breast.
- 1254
- 01:16:38,526 --> 01:16:39,725
- And the drawings?
- 1255
- 01:16:39,727 --> 01:16:42,163
- I made stories. Legends.
- 1256
- 01:16:43,130 --> 01:16:44,829
- After all,
- what is language for?
- 1257
- 01:16:44,831 --> 01:16:46,999
- It's not just the naming
- of things, is it?
- 1258
- 01:16:47,001 --> 01:16:50,137
- It's the lifeblood
- of a culture, a people.
- 1259
- 01:16:50,504 --> 01:16:53,007
- - Yes. Exactly.
- - Exactly.
- 1260
- 01:16:57,577 --> 01:16:59,378
- Could you write 5,000 words
- 1261
- 01:16:59,380 --> 01:17:03,117
- on the influence
- of Norse elements in <i>Gawain?</i>
- 1262
- 01:17:03,416 --> 01:17:06,453
- Yes, absolutely.
- When would you like it by?
- 1263
- 01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:08,055
- This evening.
- 1264
- 01:17:12,594 --> 01:17:13,929
- This evening.
- 1265
- 01:18:04,545 --> 01:18:06,180
- Middle Earth.
- 1266
- 01:18:14,089 --> 01:18:17,359
- <i>"Both of these brothers
- marshaled the warriors</i>
- 1267
- 01:18:19,225 --> 01:18:21,660
- <i>They bid their dear kinsman
- through words</i>
- 1268
- 01:18:21,662 --> 01:18:24,564
- <i>that they had to endure there
- in time of need</i>
- 1269
- 01:18:25,166 --> 01:18:27,702
- <i>make use of their weapons
- without weakening"</i>
- 1270
- 01:18:28,368 --> 01:18:32,973
- The way you follow
- the rhythms of the poetry,
- 1271
- 01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,408
- your sensitivity to it.
- 1272
- 01:18:35,410 --> 01:18:37,511
- I have to tell you,
- Mr. Tolkien,
- 1273
- 01:18:38,278 --> 01:18:40,681
- I've never come across
- anything like it.
- 1274
- 01:18:41,782 --> 01:18:43,051
- Never.
- 1275
- 01:18:45,653 --> 01:18:47,388
- "Byrthwold spoke out..."
- 1276
- 01:18:47,721 --> 01:18:51,056
- "Byrthwold spoke out,
- brandished his shield..."
- 1277
- 01:18:51,058 --> 01:18:55,263
- War! War! England's at war!
- 1278
- 01:18:55,563 --> 01:18:57,998
- Germany's invaded Belgium!
- 1279
- 01:19:08,108 --> 01:19:11,145
- "He instructed the warriors
- most boldly of all:
- 1280
- 01:19:14,715 --> 01:19:16,584
- Courage must be the harder
- 1281
- 01:19:18,353 --> 01:19:19,587
- heart the keener
- 1282
- 01:19:20,420 --> 01:19:24,058
- <i>spirits the greater,
- as our strength wanes</i>
- 1283
- 01:19:25,660 --> 01:19:28,328
- <i>Here lies our lord,
- entirely cut to pieces</i>
- 1284
- 01:19:28,795 --> 01:19:31,298
- <i>a good man in the dirt"</i>
- 1285
- 01:20:23,983 --> 01:20:25,652
- Here you go, Chris.
- 1286
- 01:20:29,857 --> 01:20:32,223
- Ladies and gentlemen,
- Robert Gilson.
- 1287
- 01:20:32,225 --> 01:20:33,428
- Gilson!
- 1288
- 01:20:34,162 --> 01:20:35,660
- Aren't you going to ask me
- to dance?
- 1289
- 01:20:35,662 --> 01:20:36,596
- Did you lose a bet?
- 1290
- 01:20:36,863 --> 01:20:39,030
- I've had three envious
- glances already, actually.
- 1291
- 01:20:39,032 --> 01:20:40,533
- People must have mistaken you
- for the Kaiser.
- 1292
- 01:20:40,535 --> 01:20:42,433
- What is this?
- A war or a tea dance?
- 1293
- 01:20:42,435 --> 01:20:44,837
- - First-class mustache, Gilson.
- - Why, thank you.
- 1294
- 01:20:44,839 --> 01:20:47,475
- - You need a drink, young man.
- - On the ball.
- 1295
- 01:20:49,175 --> 01:20:51,442
- I think
- we're all here, Tolkien.
- 1296
- 01:20:51,444 --> 01:20:52,447
- Yes.
- 1297
- 01:20:53,747 --> 01:20:55,215
- Shall we make a toast?
- 1298
- 01:20:55,950 --> 01:20:58,752
- To all the future
- T.C.B.S. meetings.
- 1299
- 01:20:59,586 --> 01:21:00,721
- All across Europe.
- 1300
- 01:21:05,559 --> 01:21:06,761
- Cheers, gentlemen.
- 1301
- 01:21:08,461 --> 01:21:11,198
- - Gentlemen! May I?
- - I don't see why not.
- 1302
- 01:21:11,898 --> 01:21:13,401
- Eyes front, Tolkien.
- 1303
- 01:21:20,174 --> 01:21:22,310
- And watch the birdie!
- 1304
- 01:21:22,943 --> 01:21:24,843
- Helheimr!
- 1305
- 01:21:26,412 --> 01:21:28,280
- I've just written a
- play where a French waitress
- 1306
- 01:21:28,282 --> 01:21:29,914
- falls madly in love
- with an English hero.
- 1307
- 01:21:29,916 --> 01:21:31,016
- You'll have to shave
- 1308
- 01:21:31,018 --> 01:21:32,420
- if you want to play
- a French waitress.
- 1309
- 01:21:32,787 --> 01:21:33,985
- Cheers.
- Never too many.
- 1310
- 01:21:33,987 --> 01:21:35,154
- One more?
- 1311
- 01:21:35,156 --> 01:21:36,454
- All bets
- Wiseman goes to sleep first.
- 1312
- 01:21:36,456 --> 01:21:37,789
- I'll take that bet. Scotch?
- 1313
- 01:21:37,791 --> 01:21:38,923
- Easy money.
- 1314
- 01:21:46,267 --> 01:21:47,469
- Good luck, Ronald.
- 1315
- 01:21:49,938 --> 01:21:51,239
- I'll take that.
- 1316
- 01:21:52,773 --> 01:21:54,242
- I'll try and hold the ship.
- 1317
- 01:22:00,814 --> 01:22:03,384
- - How's your brother?
- - He's fine.
- 1318
- 01:22:03,716 --> 01:22:05,120
- He's in France already.
- 1319
- 01:22:06,554 --> 01:22:08,790
- How about you?
- How's your music?
- 1320
- 01:22:09,122 --> 01:22:10,657
- I teach piano.
- 1321
- 01:22:11,291 --> 01:22:12,861
- Small girls, mostly.
- 1322
- 01:22:13,661 --> 01:22:15,296
- Not very good.
- 1323
- 01:22:16,229 --> 01:22:17,531
- And you're engaged.
- 1324
- 01:22:19,666 --> 01:22:20,834
- He's very kind.
- 1325
- 01:22:22,001 --> 01:22:23,435
- Very considerate.
- 1326
- 01:22:23,437 --> 01:22:24,602
- A good person, really.
- 1327
- 01:22:24,604 --> 01:22:26,538
- There is something
- I have to say...
- 1328
- 01:22:26,540 --> 01:22:27,440
- Ronald.
- 1329
- 01:22:27,442 --> 01:22:29,307
- I made the biggest mistake
- of my life
- 1330
- 01:22:29,309 --> 01:22:31,477
- and there hasn't been a day,
- a moment...
- 1331
- 01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:33,347
- I've never stopped
- thinking about you.
- 1332
- 01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:38,116
- You are the most remarkable
- spirit I have ever met.
- 1333
- 01:22:38,118 --> 01:22:41,456
- You have courage
- and resourcefulness, talent,
- 1334
- 01:22:42,189 --> 01:22:43,457
- you're proud,
- 1335
- 01:22:43,925 --> 01:22:45,490
- maddeningly, wonderfully, so;
- 1336
- 01:22:45,492 --> 01:22:48,694
- and you are
- cunning and vibrant
- 1337
- 01:22:48,696 --> 01:22:50,398
- and completely alive.
- 1338
- 01:22:52,433 --> 01:22:54,769
- You deserve
- every happiness you find.
- 1339
- 01:22:58,104 --> 01:22:59,706
- No. No, you don't.
- 1340
- 01:23:00,507 --> 01:23:02,544
- You don't deserve happiness,
- that's not what I...
- 1341
- 01:23:06,746 --> 01:23:07,848
- What I mean is...
- 1342
- 01:23:09,215 --> 01:23:10,884
- You deserve much more.
- 1343
- 01:23:12,786 --> 01:23:14,255
- You deserve magic.
- 1344
- 01:23:35,742 --> 01:23:36,777
- Is it that one?
- 1345
- 01:23:38,444 --> 01:23:39,813
- It's the <i>Ascanius.</i>
- 1346
- 01:23:40,648 --> 01:23:43,384
- Sounds like something
- out of one of your stories.
- 1347
- 01:23:45,086 --> 01:23:48,990
- Yes. "Pity the poor citizens
- of the kingdom of Ascanius."
- 1348
- 01:23:49,322 --> 01:23:50,757
- Why shall we pity them?
- 1349
- 01:23:51,559 --> 01:23:53,261
- For their terrible history.
- 1350
- 01:23:54,362 --> 01:23:55,596
- For their shame.
- 1351
- 01:23:56,898 --> 01:23:57,931
- Their regrets.
- 1352
- 01:24:01,202 --> 01:24:03,071
- They should
- forgive themselves.
- 1353
- 01:24:03,337 --> 01:24:04,572
- They can't.
- 1354
- 01:24:06,639 --> 01:24:08,941
- Lancashires
- on the <i>Ascanius!</i>
- 1355
- 01:24:08,943 --> 01:24:09,911
- I'd better...
- 1356
- 01:24:12,045 --> 01:24:13,714
- This has been so nice.
- 1357
- 01:24:17,452 --> 01:24:18,586
- Goodbye, little one.
- 1358
- 01:24:52,019 --> 01:24:53,021
- Edith.
- 1359
- 01:24:59,292 --> 01:25:01,392
- - I love you.
- - I love you.
- 1360
- 01:25:01,394 --> 01:25:03,598
- - I love you so much.
- - I know.
- 1361
- 01:25:04,398 --> 01:25:06,130
- There's nothing
- I could do about it.
- 1362
- 01:25:06,132 --> 01:25:08,303
- I know. I can't either.
- 1363
- 01:25:14,075 --> 01:25:15,309
- I have to go.
- 1364
- 01:25:17,010 --> 01:25:18,578
- - Stay alive.
- - Yes.
- 1365
- 01:25:19,346 --> 01:25:20,848
- And come back to me.
- 1366
- 01:25:22,116 --> 01:25:24,719
- Stay alive
- and come back to me.
- 1367
- 01:26:00,487 --> 01:26:03,224
- Sir, I found them.
- Get up!
- 1368
- 01:26:03,491 --> 01:26:05,826
- - I found the 19th Lancashires.
- - Geoff.
- 1369
- 01:26:06,093 --> 01:26:07,191
- You have to get up, sir.
- 1370
- 01:26:08,395 --> 01:26:10,495
- Let's find your friend.
- We're almost there.
- 1371
- 01:26:13,768 --> 01:26:15,066
- Fire!
- 1372
- 01:26:15,068 --> 01:26:16,167
- Get up the ladder!
- 1373
- 01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:22,509
- Attach your bayonets!
- 1374
- 01:26:23,210 --> 01:26:24,342
- I can't do it.
- 1375
- 01:26:24,344 --> 01:26:25,843
- Come on, Private.
- Come on!
- 1376
- 01:26:25,845 --> 01:26:27,114
- Geoffrey!
- 1377
- 01:26:28,314 --> 01:26:29,548
- This way! Quickly!
- 1378
- 01:26:29,550 --> 01:26:31,717
- Right, you Lancashires!
- 1379
- 01:26:31,719 --> 01:26:32,584
- Geoffrey!
- 1380
- 01:26:35,089 --> 01:26:36,355
- Where's Geoffrey Bache Smith?
- 1381
- 01:26:36,357 --> 01:26:37,923
- Lieutenant
- Geoffrey Bache Smith?
- 1382
- 01:26:37,925 --> 01:26:40,025
- Bache Smith isn't here.
- He's already gone over the top.
- 1383
- 01:26:40,027 --> 01:26:41,692
- - No!
- - Yes. Sorry.
- 1384
- 01:26:43,831 --> 01:26:44,695
- Geoffrey!
- 1385
- 01:26:44,697 --> 01:26:45,996
- Don't stop for wounded.
- 1386
- 01:26:45,998 --> 01:26:46,800
- Geoffrey!
- 1387
- 01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:48,933
- - Sir, what are you doing? Wait!
- - Don't follow me.
- 1388
- 01:26:48,935 --> 01:26:51,136
- Up the ladder,
- Lancashires!
- 1389
- 01:26:51,138 --> 01:26:52,407
- Geoff!
- 1390
- 01:26:53,206 --> 01:26:54,472
- Geoffrey!
- 1391
- 01:27:00,214 --> 01:27:01,748
- Don't slow down!
- 1392
- 01:27:04,151 --> 01:27:05,486
- Geoff!
- 1393
- 01:27:05,952 --> 01:27:07,218
- Ronald!
- 1394
- 01:27:07,220 --> 01:27:08,923
- Geoff!
- 1395
- 01:27:11,125 --> 01:27:12,493
- Geoff!
- 1396
- 01:27:14,995 --> 01:27:16,061
- Geoff!
- 1397
- 01:27:16,063 --> 01:27:17,665
- Ronald!
- 1398
- 01:27:18,131 --> 01:27:19,500
- Geoffrey!
- 1399
- 01:27:21,568 --> 01:27:23,638
- Ronald!
- 1400
- 01:27:27,741 --> 01:27:28,743
- Geoff!
- 1401
- 01:27:32,379 --> 01:27:33,581
- What?
- 1402
- 01:27:34,147 --> 01:27:35,149
- Ronald!
- 1403
- 01:27:37,050 --> 01:27:38,182
- Geoff!
- 1404
- 01:27:38,184 --> 01:27:39,687
- Ronald!
- 1405
- 01:27:41,087 --> 01:27:42,456
- Ronald!
- 1406
- 01:27:45,158 --> 01:27:46,227
- Geoff!
- 1407
- 01:27:48,895 --> 01:27:50,096
- Geoffrey!
- 1408
- 01:28:35,542 --> 01:28:36,909
- Gas!
- 1409
- 01:28:41,447 --> 01:28:43,017
- Get that bloody mask on!
- 1410
- 01:28:45,819 --> 01:28:47,255
- Gas!
- 1411
- 01:30:45,205 --> 01:30:46,806
- Hello.
- 1412
- 01:30:50,478 --> 01:30:52,013
- Don't try to sit up.
- 1413
- 01:30:59,252 --> 01:31:01,554
- You've been asleep
- for a very long time.
- 1414
- 01:31:01,921 --> 01:31:05,058
- You've had trench fever,
- but you're all right.
- 1415
- 01:31:06,126 --> 01:31:07,294
- You're home.
- 1416
- 01:31:10,897 --> 01:31:12,700
- I tried to find him.
- 1417
- 01:31:15,135 --> 01:31:16,203
- Who?
- 1418
- 01:31:16,470 --> 01:31:17,872
- Geoffrey, I...
- 1419
- 01:31:19,239 --> 01:31:20,741
- I heard him...
- 1420
- 01:31:22,309 --> 01:31:23,444
- I could hear him.
- 1421
- 01:31:27,380 --> 01:31:30,084
- Geoffrey is... is dead.
- 1422
- 01:31:31,283 --> 01:31:33,219
- He died weeks ago.
- 1423
- 01:31:33,519 --> 01:31:34,754
- What?
- 1424
- 01:31:36,322 --> 01:31:37,422
- No.
- 1425
- 01:31:37,424 --> 01:31:38,993
- Robert Gilson, he was...
- 1426
- 01:31:39,658 --> 01:31:41,094
- he was hit.
- 1427
- 01:31:43,663 --> 01:31:44,864
- He's also dead.
- 1428
- 01:31:47,835 --> 01:31:49,270
- Robbie and Geoffrey.
- 1429
- 01:31:50,636 --> 01:31:51,938
- I'm sorry.
- 1430
- 01:31:52,906 --> 01:31:54,742
- Ron, I'm so sorry.
- 1431
- 01:31:58,644 --> 01:32:01,447
- But you're fine. You're home.
- Every...
- 1432
- 01:32:02,081 --> 01:32:04,884
- Everything's going to be fine.
- I promise.
- 1433
- 01:32:13,327 --> 01:32:15,493
- I spend my every afternoon
- 1434
- 01:32:15,495 --> 01:32:18,465
- with mothers, widows.
- 1435
- 01:32:19,899 --> 01:32:21,367
- What can I say to them?
- 1436
- 01:32:23,504 --> 01:32:27,140
- Your sons have died
- in the war to end all wars.
- 1437
- 01:32:28,575 --> 01:32:29,977
- What do you say?
- 1438
- 01:32:31,810 --> 01:32:33,412
- Words are useless.
- 1439
- 01:32:33,712 --> 01:32:35,349
- Modern words, anyway.
- 1440
- 01:32:37,785 --> 01:32:39,252
- I speak the liturgy.
- 1441
- 01:32:41,220 --> 01:32:45,091
- There's a comfort, I think,
- in distance.
- 1442
- 01:32:45,626 --> 01:32:46,927
- Ancient things.
- 1443
- 01:32:50,697 --> 01:32:52,699
- Throughout the whole
- of your illness,
- 1444
- 01:32:53,166 --> 01:32:55,803
- Miss Bratt
- never left your bedside.
- 1445
- 01:32:57,504 --> 01:32:58,939
- Not once.
- 1446
- 01:33:02,075 --> 01:33:03,978
- You were right to pursue her.
- 1447
- 01:33:08,614 --> 01:33:09,983
- Thank you.
- 1448
- 01:33:11,984 --> 01:33:15,822
- Oh. This arrived for you via...
- 1449
- 01:33:16,322 --> 01:33:17,991
- a very circuitous route.
- 1450
- 01:33:20,359 --> 01:33:23,496
- He wrote it, I believe,
- during his last days.
- 1451
- 01:33:40,014 --> 01:33:41,648
- <i>My dear John Ronald,</i>
- 1452
- 01:33:42,648 --> 01:33:46,150
- <i>It is my chief consolation
- that if I am scuppered tonight</i>
- 1453
- 01:33:46,152 --> 01:33:49,454
- <i>there will still be left
- a great member of the T.C.B.S.</i>
- 1454
- 01:33:49,456 --> 01:33:52,826
- <i>to voice what I dreamed
- and what we all agreed upon.</i>
- 1455
- 01:33:53,260 --> 01:33:55,593
- <i>That the death
- of one of its members cannot,</i>
- 1456
- 01:33:55,595 --> 01:33:56,694
- <i>I am determined,</i>
- 1457
- 01:33:56,696 --> 01:33:59,132
- <i>dissolve the T.C.B.S.</i>
- 1458
- 01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:04,168
- <i>Death can make us loathsome
- and helpless as individuals,</i>
- 1459
- 01:34:04,170 --> 01:34:06,973
- <i>but it cannot put an end
- to the immortal four!</i>
- 1460
- 01:34:07,541 --> 01:34:09,676
- <i>May God bless you,
- my dear John Ronald,</i>
- 1461
- 01:34:10,109 --> 01:34:12,843
- <i>and may you say the things
- I have tried to say</i>
- 1462
- 01:34:12,845 --> 01:34:15,281
- <i>long after I am not there
- to say them.</i>
- 1463
- 01:35:01,361 --> 01:35:02,893
- Good evening,
- Professor Tolkien.
- 1464
- 01:35:02,895 --> 01:35:04,128
- - Evening, sir.
- - Ah.
- 1465
- 01:35:43,937 --> 01:35:45,506
- What are you doing out here?
- 1466
- 01:36:02,488 --> 01:36:05,125
- We had a jam pudding today
- with the children.
- 1467
- 01:36:06,393 --> 01:36:07,627
- Michael's request.
- 1468
- 01:36:09,394 --> 01:36:11,998
- He and John put a tray
- outside your study.
- 1469
- 01:36:12,832 --> 01:36:14,300
- I hope you had some.
- 1470
- 01:36:14,801 --> 01:36:16,336
- I'm sorry, I...
- 1471
- 01:36:19,473 --> 01:36:20,506
- I'm sorry.
- 1472
- 01:36:23,209 --> 01:36:24,909
- Edith, it was
- a very difficult day.
- 1473
- 01:36:24,911 --> 01:36:26,346
- Nothing I'm writing...
- 1474
- 01:36:28,047 --> 01:36:29,446
- You used to
- write for pleasure.
- 1475
- 01:36:29,448 --> 01:36:30,315
- I know, it's...
- 1476
- 01:36:30,317 --> 01:36:32,618
- - It was a passion.
- - I know it's...
- 1477
- 01:36:34,587 --> 01:36:35,656
- pointless.
- 1478
- 01:36:46,666 --> 01:36:47,598
- I wish you would decide
- 1479
- 01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:49,267
- what it is
- you want from it, Ronald,
- 1480
- 01:36:49,269 --> 01:36:51,138
- or abandon it entirely.
- 1481
- 01:37:37,917 --> 01:37:39,486
- Mr. Tolkien?
- 1482
- 01:37:41,087 --> 01:37:42,422
- Mrs. Smith.
- 1483
- 01:37:43,756 --> 01:37:45,826
- It's wonderful to see you.
- Thank you for coming.
- 1484
- 01:37:48,295 --> 01:37:50,663
- Robert Gilson was the...
- 1485
- 01:37:51,697 --> 01:37:53,999
- son of the headmaster
- at King Edward's.
- 1486
- 01:37:54,201 --> 01:37:55,569
- Yes, that's right.
- 1487
- 01:37:55,969 --> 01:37:57,671
- I remember the stepmother,
- I think.
- 1488
- 01:37:58,170 --> 01:38:00,473
- And Christopher Wiseman?
- 1489
- 01:38:00,808 --> 01:38:02,109
- He survived.
- 1490
- 01:38:04,178 --> 01:38:05,746
- Although I'm sorry
- to say he's...
- 1491
- 01:38:07,581 --> 01:38:10,451
- Some of us who came through
- have other sorts of scars.
- 1492
- 01:38:16,055 --> 01:38:18,257
- My sister lost three sons.
- 1493
- 01:38:19,125 --> 01:38:20,394
- I lost two.
- 1494
- 01:38:21,795 --> 01:38:23,363
- All in the same week.
- 1495
- 01:38:25,165 --> 01:38:26,500
- I'm sorry.
- 1496
- 01:38:32,672 --> 01:38:34,474
- And this is where you sat.
- 1497
- 01:38:35,975 --> 01:38:37,176
- <i>Yes.</i>
- 1498
- 01:38:38,778 --> 01:38:40,214
- It's very cozy.
- 1499
- 01:38:42,983 --> 01:38:45,119
- Thank you
- for bringing me here.
- 1500
- 01:38:46,653 --> 01:38:48,288
- I can imagine, I can...
- 1501
- 01:38:50,056 --> 01:38:51,457
- see you here.
- 1502
- 01:38:52,091 --> 01:38:53,292
- <i>All of you.</i>
- 1503
- 01:38:53,926 --> 01:38:55,394
- <i>I can picture it.</i>
- 1504
- 01:38:56,261 --> 01:38:58,331
- It must have been
- a wonderfully happy time.
- 1505
- 01:39:03,001 --> 01:39:04,571
- This is where Geoffrey sat.
- 1506
- 01:39:14,212 --> 01:39:17,183
- I was wondering,
- with your permission,
- 1507
- 01:39:18,350 --> 01:39:19,917
- perhaps I might try to get
- 1508
- 01:39:19,919 --> 01:39:21,755
- a volume
- of his poems published.
- 1509
- 01:39:23,657 --> 01:39:25,159
- His poems?
- 1510
- 01:39:26,858 --> 01:39:28,327
- I think he was...
- 1511
- 01:39:28,862 --> 01:39:29,730
- really very talented.
- 1512
- 01:39:29,929 --> 01:39:32,031
- I would like to bring him
- to people's attention.
- 1513
- 01:39:32,331 --> 01:39:34,667
- I thought, perhaps, I could
- write the foreword myself.
- 1514
- 01:39:36,068 --> 01:39:37,703
- I don't know, I...
- 1515
- 01:39:39,538 --> 01:39:41,505
- I'm inclined to say no,
- Mr. Tolkien.
- 1516
- 01:39:41,507 --> 01:39:44,611
- He was really very good.
- I think it's important.
- 1517
- 01:39:47,546 --> 01:39:49,648
- I used to be fond of poetry.
- 1518
- 01:39:50,582 --> 01:39:53,353
- I sometimes wondered
- if that was where Geoffrey...
- 1519
- 01:39:58,625 --> 01:40:02,395
- I'm sorry, I can't see what
- possible good it would do.
- 1520
- 01:40:03,462 --> 01:40:05,262
- It would do the most
- extraordinary good.
- 1521
- 01:40:05,264 --> 01:40:06,632
- Please believe me.
- 1522
- 01:40:10,170 --> 01:40:11,738
- I never knew Geoffrey
- 1523
- 01:40:13,238 --> 01:40:14,875
- as much as I would have liked.
- 1524
- 01:40:18,010 --> 01:40:19,412
- Was he happy?
- 1525
- 01:40:20,246 --> 01:40:22,281
- Please, tell me.
- 1526
- 01:40:25,652 --> 01:40:26,853
- Did he know love?
- 1527
- 01:40:33,126 --> 01:40:34,561
- I was an orphan
- 1528
- 01:40:35,028 --> 01:40:36,530
- when I came to King Edward's.
- 1529
- 01:40:38,197 --> 01:40:39,865
- And even at the beginning,
- even...
- 1530
- 01:40:41,166 --> 01:40:42,736
- before we were friends,
- 1531
- 01:40:44,837 --> 01:40:45,973
- Geoffrey was gentle.
- 1532
- 01:40:48,707 --> 01:40:49,809
- Kind.
- 1533
- 01:40:51,810 --> 01:40:54,078
- He was,
- I think, of anyone I ever met,
- 1534
- 01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:55,482
- the person...
- 1535
- 01:40:57,149 --> 01:40:59,018
- He was the person
- who most embodied
- 1536
- 01:40:59,352 --> 01:41:00,953
- what it means to love.
- 1537
- 01:41:04,157 --> 01:41:05,525
- And to be loved.
- 1538
- 01:41:06,126 --> 01:41:07,494
- Truly that's...
- 1539
- 01:41:12,197 --> 01:41:14,300
- That's why
- this is so important. Please...
- 1540
- 01:41:15,234 --> 01:41:17,002
- forgive me, but you ask...
- 1541
- 01:41:17,737 --> 01:41:20,741
- what good it could do,
- and the... poets,
- 1542
- 01:41:22,943 --> 01:41:23,977
- the writers...
- 1543
- 01:41:25,245 --> 01:41:27,046
- or what our art could do.
- 1544
- 01:41:30,817 --> 01:41:32,484
- I cannot think of anything
- more necessary.
- 1545
- 01:41:32,486 --> 01:41:34,451
- Especially
- at a time like this.
- 1546
- 01:41:34,453 --> 01:41:35,788
- Especially now.
- 1547
- 01:41:56,309 --> 01:41:58,612
- A foreword would be lovely.
- 1548
- 01:42:01,880 --> 01:42:03,082
- Thank you.
- 1549
- 01:42:20,733 --> 01:42:23,402
- Remember how mother
- made us kiss the trees?
- 1550
- 01:42:24,437 --> 01:42:25,971
- And listen to them talk.
- 1551
- 01:42:26,605 --> 01:42:28,442
- What dark magic was that?
- 1552
- 01:42:28,875 --> 01:42:30,542
- Come on, you savages.
- 1553
- 01:42:30,776 --> 01:42:31,644
- Come on.
- 1554
- 01:42:31,877 --> 01:42:33,477
- Who wants to speak
- to the trees?
- 1555
- 01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:35,082
- Hey, wait for me.
- 1556
- 01:42:37,250 --> 01:42:38,583
- What are you thinking?
- 1557
- 01:42:38,585 --> 01:42:39,816
- What's your name?
- 1558
- 01:42:39,818 --> 01:42:41,955
- We're not scary.
- Don't be worried.
- 1559
- 01:42:42,688 --> 01:42:44,422
- Children, I need your help.
- 1560
- 01:42:44,424 --> 01:42:45,655
- Will you do something for me?
- 1561
- 01:42:45,657 --> 01:42:47,124
- Is it homework?
- 1562
- 01:42:47,126 --> 01:42:48,426
- Uh, no, not if I get it right.
- 1563
- 01:42:48,428 --> 01:42:49,927
- I want you to listen
- to a story.
- 1564
- 01:42:49,929 --> 01:42:50,860
- What story?
- 1565
- 01:42:50,862 --> 01:42:52,396
- Is it a good story?
- 1566
- 01:42:52,398 --> 01:42:53,530
- I hope so.
- 1567
- 01:42:53,532 --> 01:42:54,901
- Is it long?
- 1568
- 01:42:55,134 --> 01:42:56,433
- Extremely long.
- 1569
- 01:42:56,435 --> 01:42:58,037
- Has it been started?
- 1570
- 01:42:59,139 --> 01:43:00,507
- Yes, I think...
- 1571
- 01:43:01,541 --> 01:43:04,408
- I think, up here, yes,
- I think it has.
- 1572
- 01:43:04,410 --> 01:43:05,812
- What's it about?
- 1573
- 01:43:06,278 --> 01:43:08,714
- It's about journeys.
- Adventures.
- 1574
- 01:43:09,314 --> 01:43:10,817
- Magic, of course.
- 1575
- 01:43:11,917 --> 01:43:12,818
- Treasure.
- 1576
- 01:43:13,853 --> 01:43:14,955
- And love.
- 1577
- 01:43:18,325 --> 01:43:19,723
- It's about
- all kinds of things, really.
- 1578
- 01:43:19,725 --> 01:43:21,493
- It's hard to say. I suppose...
- 1579
- 01:43:22,495 --> 01:43:24,962
- I suppose it's about quests,
- to a certain extent.
- 1580
- 01:43:24,964 --> 01:43:27,466
- The journeys we take
- to prove ourselves.
- 1581
- 01:43:27,934 --> 01:43:29,436
- About courage.
- 1582
- 01:43:40,479 --> 01:43:41,848
- Fellowship.
- 1583
- 01:43:45,919 --> 01:43:47,487
- It's about fellowship.
- 1584
- 01:43:51,357 --> 01:43:52,893
- Friendship.
- 1585
- 01:43:57,063 --> 01:43:59,562
- - Little people just like you.
- - I'm not little!
- 1586
- 01:43:59,564 --> 01:44:01,731
- No. Little in stature.
- 1587
- 01:44:01,733 --> 01:44:03,133
- Not little in spirit.
- 1588
- 01:44:04,203 --> 01:44:05,237
- <i>It's about wizards, too.</i>
- 1589
- 01:44:05,572 --> 01:44:07,003
- - <i>Wizards?</i>
- - <i>Wizards, yes.</i>
- 1590
- 01:44:07,005 --> 01:44:11,075
- <i>And mountains,
- and dragons, and journeys...</i>
- 1591
- 01:44:11,077 --> 01:44:12,977
- Christopher, if you
- break your neck wearing those,
- 1592
- 01:44:12,979 --> 01:44:15,749
- I will not be taking you
- to the hospital.
- 1593
- 01:45:05,130 --> 01:45:06,165
- Hobbit.
- 1594
- 01:46:17,180 --> 01:46:22,180
