Gosford Park

Don't just stand there.

Give me a hand with the canopy.

- Mary? Merriman? Are you ready?

- Mary?

Yes, Mr. Burkett.

Everything's ready, milady.

- I think she's knocking.

- Well, see what she wants.

I can't open this wretched thing.

I suppose we better stop.

I can't get this top off.

Hello. ls everything all right?

Are-Are you okay?

- Am I what?

- We're all right, thank you.

Is that Lady Trentham?

Lady Trentham.

It's, uh...

I'm William McCordle's cousin, Ivor.

- Ivor Novello.

- Yes, of course.

May I introduce

a friend of mine from California?

- Mr. Morris Weissman.

- Hello.

Hi.

Uh, we were just wondering if

we were headed in the same direction.

I dare say we might be.

Well, if-if everything

seems to be all right...

Bye.

Could we get on

before I freeze to death?

- Was that really Ivor Novello?

- Yes. Could we get on?

Oh, hello. Nice house. I like it.

- Hello, Ivor.

- Welcome back, Your Ladyship.

Constance, welcome.

Hello, dear. If he has to call me

by my Christian name,

why can't he make it

"Aunt Constance"?

I'm not the upstairs maid. He's still

got that vile little dog, I see.

Yes, the ones we hate last forever.

Did you have a horrid journey?

Yes, fairly horrid.

Take the car around the back

to unload it.

You better follow him.

Mrs. Wilson will look after you.

Your Ladyship.

- Your Lordship.

- Mm-hmm.

- Louisa.

- William.

- Raymond. Lots of good shooting coming.

- William.

That's what we're here for.

Just leave everything in one pile

around the corner there.

Make sure it's properly labeled.

It'll go up in the luggage lift.

These are the guns.

Where's the gun room?

Down there on the right. Find Mr. Strutt, the keeper.

He'll show you what to do.

- I know what to do.

- Ellen, what do you think you're doing over there?

Take that rain off those cases

before you take them up.

Those are Mr. Novello's bags.

- Who are you?

- I'm Mr. Weissman's man.

- The Countess of Trentham.

- Yes.

Make sure they're properly labeled.

Put them down there.

- Where am I?

- You're in the stable block with the grooms.

Her Ladyship is in the Chinese room.

Elsie! Elsie!

You'll be sharing with the head housemaid.

She'll show you where everything is.

Elsie, this is Miss Trentham.

- Mrs. Wilson... Excuse me, ma'am...

- Take care of her, will you?

My name's Mary. Mary Maceachran.

Not here it's not.

It's Trentham.

- Lord Stockbridge. Guns.

- Down there on the right.

- The name's Parks. Robert Parks.

- Mr. Parks'?

Mr. Parks, below stairs

you'll be known as Mr. Stockbridge.

- There's three more outside.

- I knew a Mr. Parks who was in service in Norwich.

Is he any relation of yours?

No. London born and bred.

What should I do

with Her Ladyship's jewels?

It's this way.

George is in charge of the safe.

He's the first footman, and you

wanna watch where he puts his hands.

She's new.

Have you got the ones for tonight?

Oh, sorry.

Always bring a separate box

for the first night. It saves bother.

Freddie, do wait.

For goodness sakes, Mabel.

What is it this time?

- Does my hair look all right?

- It looks fine. Where the hell were you?

We're not late.

Freddie, do please stop going on.

Isobel?

- Hello.

- Hello, Isobel.

Darling, I'll see you in there.

There's been something I've been meaning to say to you.

- Have you, uh... Have you spoken to your father?

- No.

What do you mean, no?

Hey, you promised.

I never promised.

I said I'd do my best.

- You're so beautiful

when you resist me. - Stop it.

I'll ask him tonight.

Well, you bloody well better.

- You shouldn't sneak up on people like that.
