(0.00 / 0 votes)for lending me the book.
Did you read it?
Yes.
- Did you get caught?
- No.
And anyway, I'm not sure
what all the fuss is about.
I wasn't corrupted.
Good for you.
Let them put that in their pipes.
'I stole milk from breakfast
and made butter in an old cocoa tin.'
But I'm going to share it with the team
so it's only half a sin, really.
And I had lustful thoughts
about the gardener's boy.
But he was only here for the summer
and I never even spoke to him.
Actually, I've had rather
a lot of lustful thoughts.
Do I have to be sorry
for all of them?
One, two, three, four, five...
- Did you tell him?
- Yes.
- Everything?
- Not everything.
- Did you mention the book?
- And get Miss G into trouble?
They don't understand art
and culture.
It's stupid to ban books
that tell you the truth about life.
I don't think it's wrong
to want to know about the real world.
We can't stay pure forever.
Come on, Rosie.
I'm so hungry.
Excuse me. Coming through.
Excuse me.
I said excuse me!
Hello, team.
The new girl is arriving today.
Toast, fag.
Yes, Radfield?
Where's my butter?
On your toast.
Really? Where? Show me.
Oh, how generous of you
It's funny. I go to all the trouble
making butter for the team,
and then I actually
expect to have it on my toast.
Sorry, captain.
Do it again.
From edge to edge. Or I'll have you
on a fork over that fire.
I have to set the standards,
or everything goes to hell.
Quick, she's coming.
We have a new girl coming all the way
from Spain to join your team.
And I want you to welcome her
on her arrival.
I know you are not always pleasant
to new girls,
but I want you to be particularly nice
to this girl
because she's travelling
such a distance,
from another country,
another background.
She's also a Roman Catholic,
but she will attend religious services
with the rest of you.
I want you to be kind.
This girl is an aristocrat.
She is accustomed to the best.
Yes, Miss Nieven.
- Do you all understand?
- Yes, Miss.
Bugger.
Roman Catholics are superstitious
and ignorant.
That's why they have
those ghastly pictures of Christ
bleeding with nails in his hands
and thorns on his head.
Catholic nuns bury their babies
in the backs of convent gardens.
And then they're walled in, standing up.
Can't even sit down to die!
- When's she arriving?
- I don't know and don't want to know.
I hear the Spaniard is a gymnast.
I hardly see the relevance
of cartwheels to what we do.
Miss G allowed it, so I don't want
to hear another word about it.
Shh, she's coming.
It's freezing in here!
with your parents' money?
It's not going on the heating,
that's for sure.
Must be throwing it away on drink,
eh, girls?
Fuzzy, why are you hanging
like a sack of spuds?
I lost my bounce, Miss G.
Laurel, give her some bounce.
That's it. Feet together.
Arms straight, eyes forward.
You are sinew and muscle,
cutting through air and water.
With grace, with form,
with agility!
Fuzzy, you can do better than that.
I had seconds of porridge and toast
for breakfast and now I feel a bit queer.
Fuzzy.
Is that the most important thing
in life? Porridge?
- No, Miss G.
- Then what is?
- Think.
- God, Miss G.
- No. Rosie?
- Being kind to all God's creatures?
No, you're missing the point, dear.
Poppy?
- Death.
- In life, Poppy!
- Di?
- Desire, Miss G.
Yes! Thank you, Radfield!
The most important thing in life
is desire.
You can achieve anything you want.
The world is yours for the taking.
Nothing is impossible for you,
