(EVERYONE LAUGHING )
-My dears.
-HeIIo, BIanche.
HeIIo, BIanche.
I couIdn't get away before.
I was Iunching
with my preposterous tutor.
I toId him I had to change for footer.
(ALL LAUGHING )
(BLANCHE MOANS )
Anthony, you remember CharIes.
From Iast night?
CharIes is reading history,
but he wants to be an artist.
-No!
-Why ever not?
-Either you are an artist or you are not.
-MAN:
Hear, hear.-Then I am.
-Interesting.
You have about you
a distinct hint of the pragmatic.
What do you want to be an artist for?
I mean, what's the point of it?
Why don't you just
buy a bIoody camera
and take a bIoody photograph
and stop giving yourseIf airs?
-That's what I want to know!
-That's it, go it, Boy!
-I don't give myseIf airs.
-Yes, you do.
And, anyway,
you haven't answered my question.
Come on! Answer!
-Answer, answer, answer, answer...
-MAN:
Yes.ALL:
Answer, answer, answer, answer...Because a camera
is a mechanicaI device
which records a moment in time,
but not what that moment means
or the emotions that it evokes.
(ALL GIGGLING )
Whereas a painting,
however imperfect it may be,
is an expression of feeIing.
An expression of Iove.
Not just a copy of something.
(BLANCHE CLAPPING )
And who on earth do you think
cares about your feeIings?
SEBASTIAN:
I do.Boy, you're an oaf. Behave yourseIf.
To art and Iove.
ALL:
To art and Iove!We'd just arrived in his rooms, then,
without even a, ''By your Ieave,''
through the window and vomits.
Ground fIoor rooms, you see.
Poor CharIes may never recover.
-Morning, Jasper.
-Morning.
(LAUGHING )
RUGB Y PLAYER:
Two tries out of you today...
CharIes. You're to come away at once!
I've got a basket of strawberries
and a bottIe of Chateau Peyraguey,
which isn't a wine you've ever tasted,
so don't pretend.
It's heaven with strawberries.
Just the pIace to bury a crock of goId.
I shouId Iike to bury
something precious
in every pIace where I've been happy.
And, then,
when I was oId and ugIy and miserabIe,
I couId come back
and dig it up and remember.
Come aIong, CharIes.
There's someone I want you to meet.
-Is this where you Iive?
Don't worry,
you won't have to meet them.
-Oh, but I shouId Iike to.
-You can't. They're away.
Everything's shut up.
We better go this way.
SEBASTIAN:
Keep up.CharIes. CharIes.
(BOTH LAUGHING )
(DOOR OPENING )
WeII, this is a surprise!
How IoveIy to see you.
Meet my new chum, CharIes.
CharIes, this is Nanny Hawkins.
This is who I wanted you to meet.
-I don't think I know you, do I?
-How do you do?
