The bubbles are so...

Ok.

Here's to Hilary and Jackie

and all who've seen enough.

Mmm.

Hils, look.

We're in heaven.

Oh, put that

Excuse me.

Have you seen

my sister?

Is your sister

Jacqueline Du Pr?

Yes.

She'll be in Berlin

by now.

She's playing the Haydn

cello concerto in c.

Oh.

You going back

to London?

Yes. I suppose so.

Oh. Stop, stop,

stop, stop, stop.

What is this blasted

jig ging about?

Stand still, girl.

Stand still.

It is impossible

to produce a proper tone

without proper

deportment.

You have no technique.

That's all right.

Technique can be taught.

We just have to go back

to the beginning

and start again.

Cancel any concert dates

you may have outstanding.

Yes, Mr. Bentley.

Oh, Hilary...

how is your

marvellous sister?

I'm not sure.

She's away at the moment.

In Russia.

Oh.

That's it,

old boy...

keep trying.

That's it!

Ooh.

I felt that.

Listen.

Well done, boy.

What is it?

That is radio Moscow.

This is what Jackie

will be hearing

if she's listening

to the wireless.

No.

No.

No!

No!

No!

Instead of rehearsing

this piece,

I just want you

to practice playing

b-flat.

Just the note b-flat?

The note.

Just the note.

Parcel from Jacks,

everybody!

Want help?

Well, open it!

Can't open it.

Hils...

can't break it.

Here, Hil.

Let me.

It's her washing.

I suppose

it must be difficult

getting her washing done

in a foreign country.

Good afternoon,

ma'am.

My niece

is a student.

Embouchure.

Embouchure.

Miss Du Pr.

Yes?

I was wondering, could I

book you for a concert?

No, it's not me you want.

It's my sister.

But you're

Hilary Du Pr...

the flautist?

Yes.

Yes, it's you I want.

The Bach b-minor.

Oh.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm not allowed

to play concerts

until

after my exam.

Oh. Well,

when's your exam?

Right now,

as a matter of fact.

Oh, well, in that case,

I'll wait.

Please.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Would you like to try

that for us again,

please, Hilary?

Again.

Again.

Miss Du Pr.

Look, do I get my booking?

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

You ran off.

I followed you home.

Oh.

You don't mind,

do you?

No...

as a matter of fact.

I'd ask you in, but, um...

it's a bit awkward.

My sister's just come home.

All right.

What do you think
