378. Right, that was worse.Copy !req
379. We have to move on, we have six minutesCopy !req
380. to finish the whole play.Copy !req
381. In all my years as a physician—Copy !req
382. No! No, no, no, no!Copy !req
383. Cut the doctor, we don't have time.Copy !req
384. Susan died while I was away.Copy !req

386. Close the house. Scene three! Morning, Jacob.Copy !req
387. Oh.Copy !req
388. Morning, sir!Copy !req
389. I have noticed since you have returned,Copy !req
390. you carry with you such a quiet dignity.Copy !req

392. Sir, would you like to while away an hourCopy !req
393. at the chess board like we used to?Copy !req
394. Thank you, young Jacob, that may ease my pain.Copy !req
395. There is nothing more calming than an hour spentCopy !req
396. in the company of these fine bishops and knights.Copy !req
397. I have missed our games in your absence.Copy !req
398. Good move, Jacob.Copy !req
399. Ah, chess is a game when you must never rush your turn.Copy !req
400. I shall ponder my repost at length while listeningCopy !req
401. to the birds in the orchard.Copy !req
402. Done.Copy !req
403. You always did think strategically,Copy !req
404. always five moves ahead.Copy !req
405. Yet strategy comes naturally to you, Jacob, does it not?Copy !req
406. Well, one must take whatever advantage is presented.Copy !req
407. You have certainly taken advantage, have you not?Copy !req
408. Bishop takes pawn. -What are you getting at sir?Copy !req
409. Susan wrote to me of you. Bishop takes knight.Copy !req
410. Well the truth is she fell illCopy !req
411. while you were away at the front.Copy !req
412. I gave her comfort in your absence as any man would.Copy !req
413. And yes, we grew close. Check.Copy !req
414. Block. -And, dare I say,Copy !req
415. we fell in love, but who are you to pass judgement?Copy !req
416. You never loved her as I could, Roger.Copy !req
417. Checkmate.Copy !req
418. The days grow longer.Copy !req
419. It's as if the world has ground to a halt.Copy !req
420. Well, it must make the days more exciting to have a manCopy !req
421. love you so. -Love me?Copy !req
422. Oh, yes, I've seen the long lingering looksCopy !req
423. Master Jacob gives you.Copy !req
424. Mrs. Wimblegate would not approve.Copy !req
425. One cannot live one's life scared of what others may think.Copy !req
426. Come, play us something soothing and gentleCopy !req
427. for these endless afternoons.Copy !req
428. Thank you! I made you this.Copy !req
429. Do you feel that chill in the wind ma'am?Copy !req

438. He is growing weak.Copy !req
439. Eat your supper.Copy !req
440. And plenty of water.Copy !req
441. No!Copy !req
442. The doctor says he won't survive the night.Copy !req
443. He lives another day!Copy !req
444. I say you are fit and strong, Uncle.Copy !req
445. Never mind what the doctor says.Copy !req
446. Listen to ten of his breaths and tell me if you hearCopy !req

448. A man of sound body and mind.Copy !req
449. Coughs!Copy !req
450. Ugh! -Fetch the doctor!Copy !req

455. No, brother, don't leave me.Copy !req
456. Please, Margaret, read me a Psalm.Copy !req
457. Of course.Copy !req
458. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.Copy !req
459. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures,Copy !req
460. he leadeth me beside the still waters.Copy !req
461. He restoreth my soul, he leadeth me in the pathsCopy !req
462. of righteousness for his name's sake.Copy !req
463. Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadowCopy !req
464. of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me:Copy !req
465. thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Copy !req
466. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies,Copy !req
467. surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the daysCopy !req
468. of my life, I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.Copy !req
469. Amen. -Amen!Copy !req

474. Over these months since my Uncle died,Copy !req
475. you have seemed somewhat quiet.Copy !req
476. Well, my bowel has decayed. -Of course it has.Copy !req
477. And I had come to care so deeply for your Uncle.Copy !req
478. Manure boy, you look so thin, so pale, so ghoulish.Copy !req
479. Not goulash!Copy !req
480. Manure boy, you are so disgusting,Copy !req
481. I never asked your name. What is it?Copy !req
482. Gavroche. -Galosh?Copy !req
483. Go away!Copy !req
484. I feel closer to you now,Copy !req
485. perhaps we might share our grief together?Copy !req
486. Right, now there's this whole long sceneCopy !req
487. where we discuss our predicamentsCopy !req
488. and, after many years of feeling animosity,Copy !req
489. we realize that, actually, we're very similar.Copy !req
490. Then, Gavroche dies of typhoid and that's the end of that.Copy !req
491. Scene five.Copy !req
492. Roger, have you seen the— -No time.Copy !req
493. Margaret and I realize we're reading the same bookCopy !req
494. and we meet for dinner by the lake in secret.Copy !req
495. That happens, dinner finishes.Copy !req
496. There's a love scene which we pre-recorded, play that.Copy !req
497. Right, good.Copy !req
498. Oh, my soul is wracked with shame.Copy !req
499. This baby will have no future.Copy !req
500. Because she's a peasant. Baby. Baby! Baby! Baby!Copy !req
501. Oh, look, it's beautiful.Copy !req
502. You have your father's eyes.Copy !req
503. This baby brings shame onto Northwood Manor!Copy !req
504. I decide I can't be with Margaret,Copy !req
505. so I send her away.Copy !req
506. Farewell, my love. -Yep.Copy !req
507. I will write you every day. -Fine.Copy !req
508. Circumstance drives us apart, but love knowsCopy !req
509. not the bounds of class or creed.Copy !req
510. All good. -Perhaps in another age,Copy !req
511. in another life, in another worldCopy !req
512. we could have been together.Copy !req
513. Why not. Many years pass.Copy !req
514. Eventually, the boy grows up, comes back to see me,Copy !req
515. but there's no time for that.Copy !req
516. We reconnect.Copy !req
517. I give him ten shillings because he's poor,Copy !req
518. and then we meet back up every year.Copy !req
519. But then, one year he doesn't comeCopy !req
520. and it turns out it's because he's died of typhoid.Copy !req
521. I feel remorse so I go on a religious pilgrimageCopy !req
522. to Jerusalem that—Copy !req
523. That's a really long sequence where I meet a wise priest,Copy !req
524. but there's no time for that.Copy !req
525. That whole sequence was supposed to happenCopy !req
526. in front of this huge tapestry of a Levantine pastoral sceneCopy !req
527. which cost a fortune, so we will show that.Copy !req
528. There it is.Copy !req
529. Months of work there.Copy !req
530. I receive a message saying my mother is ailing,Copy !req
531. so I return home.Copy !req
532. There's a sandstorm, which we'll skip.Copy !req
533. I see my mother...Copy !req
534. Keep her moving.Copy !req
535. I think, all things considered,Copy !req
536. it's probably best that we're not doing that.Copy !req
537. I lose an eye in a duel with Jacob, and then he finds outCopy !req
538. he has typhoid and kills himself before the typhoid kills him.Copy !req
539. In rehearsal, that was very moving.Copy !req
540. Then, Mrs. Wimblegate,Copy !req
541. who was really in love with Jacob all along,Copy !req
542. kills Monty the dog...Copy !req
543. It made sense in context. Something about loss.Copy !req
544. The ghost of my Uncle appears to me in a dream...Copy !req
545. Though I'm gone, I'm always hard.Copy !req
546. That's not the line.Copy !req
547. Mrs. Wimblegate and I have an argument.Copy !req
548. He's gone! Your mother's estate is in ruin and now she's dead!Copy !req
549. All of that. And then, as I start to succumbCopy !req
550. to my illness...Copy !req
551. Oh, no, I forgot that!Copy !req
552. Yes, there's a scene where you find out I have typhoid as well.Copy !req
553. That happens in the second scene,Copy !req
554. we skipped that. So...Copy !req
555. So imagine I was dying all along, okay?Copy !req
556. So, all through that, I was dying,Copy !req
557. so there's a layer of subtext to it.Copy !req
558. Quite, quite sad. Right, what's next?Copy !req
559. Oh, yes, now it's spring.Copy !req
560. Jesus! So, that's spring.Copy !req
561. Okay, now...Copy !req
562. That's the stove!Copy !req
563. Put a wet cloth on that.Copy !req
564. And then, as I die, I say,Copy !req
565. "It will soon be summer once again."Copy !req
566. And that's...Copy !req
567. That's the end.Copy !req
568. Yeah. Right. Now, because we've rushed,Copy !req
569. there are quite a few minutes left.Copy !req
570. Does anyone have any questions?Copy !req
571. No? Anyone?Copy !req
572. How many mistakes was that, Robert?Copy !req
573. Tell you what.Copy !req
574. We'll go back, we'll do the second scene with the doctor.Copy !req
575. Open the house.Copy !req
576. In all my years as a physician—Copy !req
577. No, no. Sorry, my watch is slow.Copy !req
578. That is the end.Copy !req
