The Loved One Page #3

What is your field exactly?

Well, actually,

I haven't quite settled on anything, as yet.

- Really? Allan.

- Thought I'd...

...shop around a bit. See what's going.

There is one thing

I would say to you, sir.

There are certain jobs out here which

an Englishman simply does not take.

Hey, kid. Over here. Bring it here.

- That's right. Thank you.

- Hey, get those towels up here!

Hurry up, now!

Hey, pal.

Where's the switch for this thing?

Towels. Get the towels here,

you slowpoke.

- Hey, step up the towels over here.

- Thanks.

Turn up the heat, old chap.

Where are the towels?

So I told Her Majesty, I said, "Ma'am,

you've done us a very great honor."

"Not at all," she said. "Not at all.

I enjoyed the picture."

Of course, Edinburgh was with her,

you know.

She takes him along everywhere these days.

I don't know why.

- He is her husband, you know.

- Yes, I suppose that would account for it.

So I said, "Ma'am, I..."

You know, I believe

this damn thing's on fire.

- Oh, and what did she say?

- No. No. You listen!

Help! Help!

- Boy! Boy!

- Turn it off, Barlow.

- Help, Barlow! You'll sweat for this, Barlow.

- Shut it off!

How's Dusty here coming along

with the English bit, Frank?

I think it's coming along.

Don't you, Dusty?

Well, I sure hope I am.

Damn, if I don't.

Won't you take my seat?

Frank, I've got an idea.

Now, you're an artist, right?

Right. Supposing you get Dusty here...

...all dolled up English-style,

then you paint his picture in it.

I see the idea, Harry. It's a sort of...

...a character portrait

of an English gentleman.

- Uncle Frank! Uncle Frank!

- Oh, Dennis! Do come and look at this.

Though I say it myself,

I'm delighted with it.

I haven't been so excited

about anything for years.

I believe it's the beginning

of a new period for me. My best!

Do try and sit

on that horse properly, Dusty.

Sorry, Frank.

Don't be ashamed of displaying

of a certain arrogance.

It's perfectly hopeless, you know.

He simply hasn't got it in his blood.

Wait until the studio sees this, Dennis.

You going off somewhere, my boy?

Just for three or four days.

That's what I came to tell you about.

A kind of holiday, is it?

Oh, it's just another job.

Wait for me!

Come back!

- I don't like the look of this.

- Yes, it may get a bit dikey.

- Dicey.

- Dicey, if he decides to use the giant squid.

- What do you think we ought to do?

- Remember that girl?

- Do you think she'll do it?

- Maybe not.

But I've always said it's better

to bag a bird than go for a Burton.

Yeah. I think we're top of it now.

And you, Dust,

you are looking good in there.

Good day, everybody.

Hello? It's your father.

Yes, D.J. Oh, no, no, D.J. No sweat.
