I Capture the Castle Page #3

Rose, you're making too much of it.

I mean they might ask us

to parties and things

and that would be wonderful, but you

couldn't marry that man with the beard.

I'd marry a chimpanzee if he had money.

Simon, you cannot stay in this country.

You'll either get washed away by the rain

or sucked down into the mud

and never seen again.

I don't want to buy

a ranch in California.

Oranges are wonderful things. I'm sure

growing them is a very stimulating pursuit,

but I'd go mad.

And you'll stay sane

in that pokey old mansion.

Getting it cleaned and building

bathrooms for Mother.

How many mirrors does a dame

with one face need?

She's never stayed anywhere in

Europe that wasn't a hotel before.

If I don't get the plumbing

fixed by the time she comes,

she'll take one look at the place,

head straight back to the Queen Mary.

I guess I don't know her

quite as well as you do.

Rose?

Don't stop washing your hair!

Simon.

- Thank you.

- Neil.

Darling.

So, who's the artist in the family?

Her.

It's called "War and Peace."

Based on the novel.

I think it might work better

on a circular canvas.

Why are you all dressed in green?

Simon, you may turn the pages for me.

- I'm afraid I don't read music.

- I don't either.

That need not detain us.

Come on.

Thank you.

I'll give you a nudge each time.

Blow, blow

Thou winter wind

Thou art not so unkind

As man's ingratitude

Christ.

You were lucky to get out alive.

She wasn't like that last night.

Did I do something to encourage her?

You own Scotney Hall,

7000 acres, and their house,

and they obviously don't have a cent.

She can't help that.

Well, she can't help

being so darn obvious,

but if you want a pack of insane

broads chasing after you

in theatrical costumes,

that's your choice.

One insane broad.

My God, I was embarrassed for that girl.

We're going to have to drop them, Simon.

If we don't, you could end up

in a very awkward situation.

He's dangerous.

I guess so.

It's a pity we didn't see

that kid again, though.

The one with the glasses

or the one in the bathtub?

The bathtub.

She was quite funny.

A bit consciously naive, don't you think?

I feel worse about dropping the old man.

I wanted to help him, but I guess he

probably is a drunk, like people say.

If only we could afford

to send her to the cinema,

she'd have a much better idea

of how to behave.

It's too late.

I've got this brick wall sort of feeling.

They won't come back.

Please don't.

It's broad daylight.

It brings me release.

Do you want me to run mad?

What did you think of them?

The Americans?

I don't know.

They weren't like anyone

I've ever met before.

- Did you think they were handsome?
