Gosford Park Page #3

- Which one does Dorothy answer to?

- Both. That's the problem.

She's rushed off her feet as it is.

Are you nearly done there?

- Yes.

- Here she is... Miss Bossy.

Tell me, what was Greta Garbo

really like'?

- Did you get to know her?

- Yes, I did, actually.

She's coming to stay

with me next month.

Tell me, how much longer are you

going to go on... making films?

I suppose that rather depends on how much

longer the public want to see me in them.

Yes, it must be hard to know,

when it's time to throw in the towel.

What a pity about

that last one of yours.

What-What was it called?

- The Dodger.

- The Lodger.

The Lodger.

And it must be so disappointing...

when something just, you know,

flops like that.

Yes, it is...

rather disappointing.

Look at this.

Machine-made lace.

- Hark at her.

- Well, I hate cheap clothes.

They're twice the work,

and they never look as good.

I'll murder that dog one day.

Look at that. All over his waistcoat.

What do you expect from a woman

without her own maid?

Lady Lavinia says a woman who travels

with no maid has lost her self-respect.

- She calls it "giving in."

- I don't have a maid. I haven't given in.

- That's different.

- Why?

- What's your name?

- I think here I'm called Trentham.

No, I meant your real name.

Oh. Mary.

Mary Maceachran.

Blimey. What does

Her Ladyship call you?

Well, she should call me Maceachran,

now I'm a lady's maid.

That's what my mother says.

But Her Ladyship can't pronounce it,

so she calls me Mary.

I don't blame her.

Sylvia.

I'm serious.

There mustn't be any more nonsense.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

Done much shooting this year?

Quite a lot.

- Hello.

- Does Louisa always go out with you?

- Usually.

- It's very good of her.

- Do you have a minute?

- Don't do that! That's bad for him!

Put him down.

Yeah. Bores me stiff.

- All right, Pip.

- I just wondered...

William's such a rotten shot. I usually try

and duck out of it, particularly in Scotland.

I'm rather fond of Scotland.

All right,

get on with your work. Yes?

- Ah, Mr. Weissman. There you are.

- I'm dealing with this.

- What is it, Mr. Weissman'?

- Well, to start with, my name is Denton.

- Henry Denton.

- You're here as valet to Mr. Weissman.

That means you'll be known as Mr. Weissman

below stairs for the duration of your stay.

We stick to the old customs here.

It saves confusion.

- It's about Mr. Weissman's diet.

- Yes?

- He's a vegetarian.

- A what? - A vegetarian.

He doesn't eat meat.

He eats fish, but not meat.

Well, I never!

Doesn't eat meat?

He's coming for a shooting party,

and he doesn't eat meat.

Mr. Weissman doesn't
