whose past is less perfect...
.. than his reputation would suggest.
What are you saying?
I am saying that I know the real origin
of your wealth and your career...
.. and I have got your letter, too.
You are very late!
- Did you miss me?
- Awfully.
I'm sorry I did not stay away later.
I like being missed.
- How very selfish.
- I am selfish.
You always tell me
about your bad qualities.
- I haven't told you half of them.
- Really? Are the others very bad?
Quite dreadful. When I think of them
at night, I can go to sleep at once.
Well, I must tell you
that I like your bad qualities...
.. and I would not have you
part with a single one.
It shows admirable good taste.
May I have the pleasure
of escorting you to the music room?
- Why, Tommy, I'd be delighted.
- As would I.
Are you coming to the music room?
Not if there's any music
going on, Miss Mabel.
Well,... the music is in German,
so you would not understand it.
Quite so, quite so.
- Arthur!
- Gertrude, good evening.
I didn't think you liked political parties.
I adore them. They're the only place left
where people don't talk politics.
The affair to which you allude
was no more than a speculation.
It was a swindle, Sir Robert.
Let us call things by their proper names.
Now I'm going to sell you
that letter back...
.. and the price I ask is your public support
of the Argentine scheme.
I cannot do what you ask me.
You are standing
on the edge of a precipice.
- Supposing you refuse...
- What then?
Suppose I were to pay a visit
to a newspaper office...
.. and give them this scandal
and the proof of it.
Think of their joy and the delight
they would have in tearing you down.
Think of... Sir Edward!
My dear Mrs Cheveley,...
.. I do hope
we have the opportunity to meet up.
I so enjoy the cut and thrust
of continental politics.
I shall make it a particular priority.
Sir Robert.
It is infamous, what you propose.
Infamous!
Oh, no. It is the game of life, Sir Robert,...
.. as we all have to play it...
.. sooner or later.
What a charming house.
I have spent a delightful evening.
I'm so glad.
And so glad, too, you had a chance
to meet my husband, Mrs Cheveley.
Though I must confess
to some curiosity...
.. as to the matter of your conversation.
Your carriage is waiting, Mrs Cheveley.
Thanks. Well, another time perhaps,
Lady Chiltern. Good evening.
Good evening, Mrs Cheveley.
Will you see me out, Sir Robert?
Now that we have the same interests,
we will be great friends, I hope.
Certainly.
Let me have more time
to consider your proposal.
There is nothing to consider.
Support the scheme
and I will return the letter.
