And have you... found something?
- Yes, I think I have.
- Mm.
It hasn't solved my problem.
- Problem? With history?
- People. That's what I've realised.
People are what matter. They're so
much more fascinating than ideas.
Well... y-y-you could think of changing
course to something more vocational.
I want to be with you.
Hm.
Um, I wish all my students
were so... appreciative.
You couldn't get it up? F***!
- Shh! Maurice!
- What? Not at all? Not even a twitch?
Not... entirely.
Maurice! Maurice!
- Look, look, you'd had a lot
to drink, right? - Yes.
You're under a lot of pressure.
- I was a bit... overwhelmed.
- Well, there you go.
It's been a long time since
I'd done anything so...
impulsive.
- And there was Helen...
- Ah, yes, the lovely Helen. How is she?
I couldn't sleep. I
wanted to play something.
- Well, I was just on my way up.
- All right.
- It's... It's another one of my students.
- Ah.
She... Soaking wet, poor thing.
Can't very well go home on a night
like this. I've made up a bed.
Oh, will he be warm enough?
"She. " I gave her a blanket, so...
Erm... Who'll make breakfast?
I'll make her breakfast!
Are you all right?
- I've... I've had some brandy.
- Mm. Come here.
What is it, John?
Your father...
told me I'd never get anywhere
unless I joined the Party.
Normally, my father saying something
would make you do exactly the opposite.
What if he's right?
I hate to see you
agonise like this, John.
Have a little faith in yourself.
You'll do the right thing.
You always do.
Do I?
Look...
I can't deny it, I do find
myself attracted to you.
But in my circumstances as a
lecturer and a married man...
I simply can't.
What was that?
- Must be the start of the parade.
- Parade? What parade?
Isn't that why we're here?
No, this was the most
discreet spot I could think of.
They have to go and have another
- Let's go and watch. - No, I really
can't stand that sort of thing.
- I'd rather slip away before we
get caught up... - Oh, come on!
What if someone sees us?
We'll say we bumped into
each other in the crowd.
- Why would we even be here? - To see
what all the fuss is about, of course.
Oh, everyone looks so happy. Anything that
makes people happy can't be bad, can it?
Well, I do find some of it rather offensive.
The ideas behind it... or lack of them.
But feel this energy!
All it needs is a few good people to
help channel it in the right direction.
- Yes.
Burning all those books
- of course it's shocking, but then,
you said so yourself, wouldn't it be liberating to
