-DappIed in a tapestry meadow.

(BOTH LAUGHING )

SEBASTIAN:
A fIute by stiII water.

This is a wise oId wine.

(SEBASTIAN EX CLAIMS )

A prophet in a cave.

CHARLES:
And this

is a string of pearIs on a white neck.

(CHUCKLES )

-A swan.

-The Iast unicorn.

(SEBASTIAN CHUCKLES )

(BOTH CHUCKLING )

(CHARLES EX CLAIMS )

Who's that?

-Is that your brother?

-Yes, that's Bridey.

-He seems aII right to me.

-Wait tiII you meet him.

Mother.

HeIIo, there.

SEBASTIAN:
Go away,

we're not decent!

-Mummy's here.

-We know.

She's invited CharIes to dinner.

LAD Y MARCHMAIN:
It's not

what we agreed upon, Sebastian,

when we taIked about this

at Christmas, when you came down.

It's no use crying, darIing.

That's just chiIdish.

That's not going to heIp, is it?

You see, darIing,

whatever yesterday's sins,

we must aII pray for God's forgiveness.

So now, you try and try again now.

Be a good boy.

For God and for Mummy.

(SEBASTIAN CRYING )

Now, just put your shirt on now.

Dining room's this way.

Is Sebastian aII right?

He seemed upset.

JULIA:
Oh.

He and Mummy often have these taIks.

FIanneIs for dinner?

Very boId, Mr. Ryder.

-WiII your mother mind?

-Yes, she'II be appaIIed.

No, don't worry.

She'II be understanding.

-Do you often do that?

-What?

-Say one thing, mean another?

-Yes and no.

(CHARLES CHUCKLES )

(DOOR OPENING )

LAD Y MARCHMAIN:
Thank you.

(BRIDE Y SAYING GRACE IN LATIN)

-BRIDE Y:
Amen.

-Amen.

WeIcome to Brideshead, Mr. Ryder.

I've been hearing aII about you.

I do hope you didn't Iet Sebastian

caII you away in too much of a rush.

I'm afraid I didn't quite have time

to pack the right things.

Sebastian must Iend you some cIothes

whiIe you're here.

Or perhaps Bridey's a better fit.

Are you a Bridey

or a Sebastian, Mr. Ryder?

He can't borrow Bridey's cIothes.

Bridey dresses Iike a bank cIerk.

Don't be vuIgar, CordeIia.

VuIgar is not the same as funny.

I hope you've been

Iooked after properIy, Ryder.

Has Sebastian

been seeing to the wine?

Yes. Sebastian's been

seeing to the wine.

BRIDE Y:
DeIighted to hear it.

-You're fond of wine?

-Yes, very.

I wish I were.

It's such a bond with other men.

At Christ Church, I tried to get drunk

more than once, but I didn't enjoy it.

JULIA:
What do you enjoy, Bridey?

Hunting, shooting,

fishing.

And what form do your pIeasures take,

Mr. Ryder?

-Sorry, pIeasures?

-Your hobbies.

-What do you do to reIax?

-He drinks.

Drinking is not a hobby, Sebastian.

-You Iive in London, is that correct?

-Yes.

-Whereabouts?

-Paddington.

You Iive in a raiIway station?

No, no. Sorry. No, I Iive nearby.

I see.

And has this Ied

to an interest in trains?

No.
