Daphne.

Yes? But it's true,

isn't it?

(DAPHNE AND ALAN LAUGHING)

OLIVE:
Mummy and Daddy

are going to a ball!

ALAN:
Your majesty.

DAPHNE:
(CHUCKLES) My liege.

Don't they look lovely?

Goodbye!

Look, Billy, Mummy and Daddy

are off again on holiday.

Ho-li-day.

Thank you.

OLIVE:

It's Daddy's first night.

CHRISTOPHER ROBIN: Nou,

how can it be his first night?

Blue is about

100 years old.

OLIVE:
It's the first night

of his new play, silly.

Well, for all you cricket

enthusiasts here in the audience...

...I'm sorry

to report that rain

has stopped play at the Oval.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)

Here in the West End,

of course,

nothing stops the play.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)

(FLIES BUZZING)

Um, this, this play...

I-I wrote this play...

This, this play was...

(EXPLOSIONS)

I wrote this...

(BUZZING CONTINUES)

I wrote this...

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

The play was, um...

You're supposed

to make a speech.

You're supposed to say

something sweet about...

(PANTING)

(CHATTERING)

DAPHNE:
You missed

the most enchanting party.

ERNEST:
And the play

was pretty good.

DAPHNE:

It's in all the papers,

if you want the details.

"The Princess Royal

accompanied by

Princess Maud was in a box.

"Sir James Barrie and...

"...the elegant Mrs. Milne."

Alan, if you

hadn't deserted me,

people wouldn't

take the liberty

of making

remarks like that.

Remarks? What remarks?

"Elegant" is not a remark.

DAPHNE:
"Elegant" means

over 30. Everyone knows that.

ERNEST:
You'll never

be elegant in my eyes.

What did we fight

that war for?

Why doesn't anyone

talk about it?

Why does everyone act

as though nothing happened?

Well, it is over.

And what am I doing about it?

Nothing!

You're doing what you're

good at. Writing plays.

Nothing has changed.

Don't you see?

If nothing changes,

then the same thing

will happen all over again.

I need to

get out of London.

A nice day out would

do us all the world of good.

Ernest, you must come too.

I don't think Blue

is talking about a picnic.

I'm talking about

leaving for good.

I'm talking about

going somewhere quiet

and decent and trying

to think for once.

Do something worthwhile.

Surely a West End playwright

needs to be in the West End.

I've had enough of

making people laugh.

I want to make them see.

Well, I think it's

a perfectly horrid idea.

Daphne.

Horrid and ridiculous.

Daphne, don't you see...

For heaven's sake,

don't plead.

If you're going to do it,

get on with it.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Not in the mud! Don't

let them fall into the mud!

Upstairs.

Now where's the desk?

Up here. Up here.

Over there. Actually...

I know you like a view

when you're writing, Alan,
