anybody can sing in tune...
but I sing with wonderful feeling.
Yes, sir.
You have got the cucumber sandwiches
for Lady Bracknell?
- Yes, sir.
- Ah!
- Excuse me, sir.
- Have Lady Bracknell
and Miss Fairfax arrived yet, Lane?
- No, sir.
- Mr. Ernest Worthing.
- Jack! I don't seem to remember
inviting you.
No, you're absurdly careless
about sending out invitations.
Cucumber sandwiches? Why such
reckless extravagance in one so young?
Don't you touch them! They're ordered
specially for Aunt Augusta.
- Well, you're eating them.
- That's quite a different matter.
She's my aunt.
Have some bread and butter.
The bread and butter
is for Gwendolen.
Gwendolen is devoted
to bread and butter.
And very good bread and butter
it is too.
My dear fellow, you needn't eat it
as if you were going to eat it all.
you were married to her already.
You are not married to her already,
and I don't think you ever will be.
- Now, Algy...
That must be Aunt Augusta.
Only relatives or creditors
ever ring in that Wagnerian manner.
If I can get her out of the way
for ten minutes...
in order that you may have the
opportunity for proposing to Gwendolen,
may I dine with you
at Willis' tonight?
- I suppose so, if you want to.
- But you must be serious about it.
I hate people who are not serious
about meals.
Lady Bracknell and Miss Fairfax.
Good afternoon, dear Algernon.
I hope you're behaving very well.
- I'm feeling very well, Aunt Augusta.
- Yes, that's not quite the same thing.
In fact, the two things
rarely go together.
Oh. How do you do,
Mr. Worthing.
- Dear me, Gwendolen, you are smart.
- I am always smart.
- Aren't I, Mr. Worthing?
- You are quite perfect, Miss Fairfax.
Oh, I hope I am not that.
for development,
and I intend to develop
in many directions.
Gwendolen?
Won't you come
and sit here, Gwendolen?
Thank you, Mama.
I am quite comfortable where I am.
I'm sorry if we are
a little late, Algernon.
I was obliged to call
on dear Lady Harbury.
I hadn't been there
since her poor husband's death.
I never saw a woman so altered.
She looks quite 20 years younger.
And now I'll have a cup of tea...
and one of those nice cucumber
sandwiches you promised me.
Certainly, Aunt Augusta.
Good heavens, Lane!
Why are there no cucumber sandwiches?
I ordered them specially.
There were no cucumbers in the market
this morning, sir. I went down twice.
No cucumbers?
No, sir.
Not even for ready money.
Thank you, Lane.
That will do.
I'm greatly distressed,
Aunt Augusta,
about there being no cucumbers,
not even for ready money.
