1. 'One potato, two potato,
three potato, four...'Copy !req
2. 'This is Mandy,Copy !req
3. 'otherwise Amanda Jane Garland.Copy !req
4. 'Aged two.Copy !req
5. 'Amanda is Latin for
"one who deserves to be loved".Copy !req
6. 'I don't know about deserving love.
She certainly gets it.Copy !req
7. 'She's our only childCopy !req
8. 'so Harry and I have
plenty of chance to daydreamCopy !req
9. 'about whether she'll be
a businesswomanCopy !req
10. 'or some sort of an artistCopy !req
11. 'or just an ordinary housewife like me.Copy !req
12. 'And to fuss and worry about whether
she's all right and developing properly.Copy !req
13. 'She seems intelligent enough.'Copy !req
14. The more intelligent they are,
the slower they start.Copy !req
15. Don't you want this?Copy !req
16. She isn't even beginning to speak.Copy !req
17. Oh, darling, what are you fussing about?Copy !req
18. Most kids don't start talking
until much later than that.Copy !req
19. It's Harry.Copy !req
20. Darling... darling, Lily's here.Copy !req
21. Lily? Hello, Lily.
You're not going?Copy !req
22. Yes, trains to catch.
How are you, mister?Copy !req
23. I'm fine. What, are you going
North tonight? How's Jimmy?Copy !req
24. Oh, he's wonderful.
He's so good to me.Copy !req
25. Sent a postcard suggesting
I should stay away another week.Copy !req
26. So you're rushing home
to see who she is, hey?Copy !req
27. You bet! Bye-bye, dears.Copy !req
28. So nice to see a happy little family
where the husband doesn't drink.Copy !req
29. How's my little girl?Copy !req
30. Been a good girl today, have you?Copy !req
31. Been a good girl, have you?
It's time you were in bed, you know.Copy !req
32. What are you going to do
with those pencils?Copy !req
33. Ooh! Poor Daddy!Copy !req
34. Bye-bye, darling.Copy !req
35. Not too much of the anxious
young mother stuff.Copy !req
36. Come and see us soon.
God bless.Copy !req
37. Goodbye.Copy !req
38. Bye-bye.Copy !req
39. What's up, Kit?Copy !req
40. I'm frightened.Copy !req
41. - Frightened?
- Yes.Copy !req
42. Remember what you were saying
about Mandy the other day?Copy !req
43. Yes.Copy !req
44. That she didn't seem
to be frightened by noises.Copy !req
45. - Yes.
- She hasn't begun to talk at all.Copy !req
46. Well, I believe it's because
she can't... hear properly.Copy !req
47. Oh, come!Copy !req
48. I've tried calling to her
and clapping and so on.Copy !req
49. She doesn't seem to hear any of it.Copy !req
50. Darling, she's bright enough.
She doesn't miss a thing.Copy !req
51. Not when she can see.Copy !req
52. When she can't,
she doesn't notice anything.Copy !req
53. You try. You'll see.Copy !req
54. There you are. Did you see
her head come round?Copy !req
55. She can't see us from there
but she heard us all right.Copy !req
56. Yes.Copy !req
57. You can hear fast enough,
can't you, my beautiful?Copy !req
58. Of course you can.Copy !req
59. What do you want, a daughter who turns
around every time someone whistles?Copy !req
60. Honestly, Harry,
I couldn't make her...Copy !req
61. What people don't realise is that
little girls don't want to turn aroundCopy !req
62. every time somebody makes
silly noises, do they, hey?Copy !req
63. I never knew such a gaff,
getting into a flap!Copy !req
64. Good night, sweetie.Copy !req
65. Harry!Copy !req
66. - What?
- Look.Copy !req
67. She could see that,
even if she couldn't hear you.Copy !req
68. - Oh, darling, really!
- No.Copy !req
69. Harry, make her hear something where
she couldn't possibly have seen it.Copy !req
70. Mandy...Copy !req
71. Mandy!Copy !req
72. Mandy!Copy !req
73. Mandy!Copy !req
74. Go on.Copy !req
75. If she's really deaf, stone-deaf,
she'll be dumb, too.Copy !req
76. In a child at this age
it's difficult to tellCopy !req
77. but there's no trace
of any mental defect.Copy !req
78. The actual physical structure
of the ear is perfectCopy !req
79. so there's no question
of an operation, Mrs... er...?Copy !req
80. Mrs Garland.Copy !req
81. This is one of those interesting casesCopy !req
82. when the auditory nerve
has failed to develop during prenatal life.Copy !req
83. And this is what we call
a congenital condition.Copy !req
84. 'They all told us
in the most reassuring wayCopy !req
85. 'there was nothing
to be done about it.Copy !req
86. 'Mandy would never hear.Copy !req
87. 'She would never be able
to imagine what sound was likeCopy !req
88. 'so, naturally, she would be dumb, too.Copy !req
89. 'To the doctors, it was
an interesting case but not at all unusual.Copy !req
90. 'One child in every 16,000
is born like that.Copy !req
91. 'And they explained that all over
the countryCopy !req
92. 'we should find special schools.Copy !req
93. 'Day schools or residential.'Copy !req
94. We couldn't send Mandy
to a place like that.Copy !req
95. - What was it like?
- Well, the teachers seem kind.Copy !req
96. I should think they do a good job.Copy !req
97. The whole place... gave me the shivers.Copy !req
98. - What do we do now?
- Well, she's got to be taught.Copy !req
99. But privately.
Here, at home, with us.Copy !req
100. A private teacher?Copy !req
101. Where would we put her?
We have no room for her here.Copy !req
102. No, I know.Copy !req
103. That offer that your parents made...Copy !req
104. You know, about having
the top floor in their house...Copy !req
105. Darling, I can't ask you to go there.
You'd hate it.Copy !req
106. - They're old now and...
- We've got to do something for her.Copy !req
107. Fred, they're here.Copy !req
108. - Let me have her.
- She's rather hefty, I'm afraid.Copy !req
109. That's a good girl.
What a good girl!Copy !req
110. - Hello, my dear.
- Dad, for you.Copy !req
111. One of your chess games.Copy !req
112. Look at all these things.Copy !req
113. If you can find any use for them,
please do.Copy !req
114. Oh, that's a very German move.Copy !req
115. And there's a wardrobe for you in here.
That's bound to come in useful.Copy !req
116. Of course, it's never been used
since it was Harry's nursery.Copy !req
117. It really wants redecorating.
It used to look lovely.Copy !req
118. You don't think it will be
too much for Mother?Copy !req
119. My dear boy, it will make
no difference to me.Copy !req
120. I don't know what it will do
to you and ChristineCopy !req
121. but of one thing you can be certain,
your mother will have a wonderful time.Copy !req
122. It will be nice to have
a baby about again.Copy !req
123. Are you sure you can bear
to have us all here?Copy !req
124. Bear it? My dear, it'll be like starting
life again to have Harry hereCopy !req
125. and you and the little one.Copy !req
126. 'Mandy was to be one of the lucky ones.Copy !req
127. 'There were at least plenty of people
who loved herCopy !req
128. 'and wanted to look after her
and shelter her from the outside word.Copy !req
129. 'She spent the next five years
being... sheltered.'Copy !req
130. Hey, you!Copy !req
131. What do you think you're doing,
running under my wheels like that?Copy !req
132. You might have got yourself killed!Copy !req
133. Dear me! Can't you keep that dog
on a lead? You nearly...Copy !req
134. Keep that mongrel on a lead,
you understand, hey?Copy !req
135. Darling! What is it?
What's happened?Copy !req
136. No, darling! You mustn't do that!
Did she bite you or something?Copy !req
137. All right, darling, all right.
I won't go. Mummy's got you.Copy !req
138. - There.
- What is it, darling?Copy !req
139. Oh, never mind. Better now.Copy !req
140. I'll take her up, Mrs Garland.Copy !req
141. Now come to tuckey, sweetheart.
There's a girl!Copy !req
142. What happened?
Did the dog bite her or something?Copy !req
143. I don't know. Something frightened her.Copy !req
144. She couldn't tell me what.Copy !req
145. Harry, I can't go on like this.Copy !req
146. It was all right when she was a baby
but now... you never know.Copy !req
147. I don't know whether
she's being naughtyand playing me upCopy !req
148. or whether there's something
really the matter.Copy !req
149. There's just no contact.Copy !req
150. There must be something we can do.Copy !req
151. 'C... A... T.'Copy !req
152. C... A... T.Copy !req
153. Cat.Copy !req
154. C...Copy !req
155. A... T... T...Copy !req
156. 'Mandy? T...Copy !req
157. 'Watch, Mandy. Watch.'Copy !req
158. 'There must be something we could do.Copy !req
159. 'There must be someone
who could help.'Copy !req
160. - I don't want to go in, Lily.
- Why not?Copy !req
161. Harry saw this place.
He told me about it.Copy !req
162. Harry didn't see it! Not properly.
I found that out later.Copy !req
163. Harry saw a bit of it and then made
excuses that he had to catch a train.Copy !req
164. He didn't give the place a chance.
He just ran away from it.Copy !req
165. I don't blame him.Copy !req
166. Dick Searle was probably rude to him,
same as he is to everyone.Copy !req
167. But I'm going to make you see him
and talk to him at least.Copy !req
168. Come on, Chris.Copy !req
169. - Dick, this is Christine Garland.
- How do you do?Copy !req
170. - You already know about her little girl?
- Oh... yes. Is she here?Copy !req
171. Er, no. She...Copy !req
172. Well, I can't say whether I'll take
the child without seeing her, can I?Copy !req
173. Nobody was asking you
to take her, Mr Searle.Copy !req
174. I just wanted to see if you had anything
to offer that she isn't getting already.Copy !req
175. Oh, I see. What is she getting already?
And how old?Copy !req
176. - Six.
- At school?Copy !req
177. - No.
- Well, why not?Copy !req
178. My husband and I have always felt that...Copy !req
179. She needs care, gentleness, kindness
and understandingCopy !req
180. that can only be provided at home.
Yes, I know.Copy !req
181. - Does anybody teach her anything?
- She has a nurse.Copy !req
182. - Teaches her finger speech?
- Yes.Copy !req
183. I thought so.
An old biddy of about 60.Copy !req
184. Now listen, Dick Searle.Copy !req
185. I've already told Christine
that you've no mannersCopy !req
186. so there's no need to demonstrate!Copy !req
187. I also told her you were good at your job
which is probably an understatementCopy !req
188. so get on with the business
of showing her aroundCopy !req
189. and take that chip off your shoulder.Copy !req
190. I've got to get back to my own kids.
I'll see you later.Copy !req
191. - Well, perhaps you'd like to walk around.
- If you could spare the time.Copy !req
192. Colin, you've got the dirtiest face in
the school and that's saying something.Copy !req
193. - What's your name?
- Mic...Copy !req
194. - Michael.
- Michael.Copy !req
195. - Good. And who is this?
- Michael.Copy !req
196. No, no, no. You're Michael.
He's Colin.Copy !req
197. So, he's only been here
about ten weeks.Copy !req
198. - And he's quite deaf?
- Oh, yes. No hearing at all.Copy !req
199. He can't do very much yetCopy !req
200. but when he first came here,
he couldn't even lip-read.Copy !req
201. Miss Lamer...Copy !req
202. Who is that, Leonie?
You better keep an eye on her.Copy !req
203. She's better than she was this morning.Copy !req
204. Yes, and better
than she'll be this evening.Copy !req
205. - Oh, this is Mrs Garland. Miss Larner.
- How do you do?Copy !req
206. Supposing you were starting
with a six year old,Copy !req
207. how long would it be
before she could... speak?Copy !req
208. Oh, it depends on the child.
Depends on what you mean by speak.Copy !req
209. Ah, here you are.
Oh, excuse me.Copy !req
210. Dick, that girl is here for the interview,
Miss Crocker.Copy !req
211. Oh, right. Jane, this is Mrs Garland.
Dr Ellis here founded this place.Copy !req
212. She's supposed to have retired
but she won't stay awayCopy !req
213. so we let her keep her room here.Copy !req
214. She knows more about this job
than I do or ever will.Copy !req
215. Oh, please.Copy !req
216. - You've been around the classrooms?
- Yes.Copy !req
217. Good. And have you seen
everything that you want?Copy !req
218. I've seen... a lot of things that I want.Copy !req
219. She's rather young, but her references
say that she's clever with children.Copy !req
220. Hmm... that usually means
clever at children.Copy !req
221. - This is Mr Searle. Miss Crocker.
- Oh, yes.Copy !req
222. Miss Crocker, would you mind
answering a purely personal question?Copy !req
223. Just why do you want to take on
a job like this?Copy !req
224. Well, I... I didn't think it'd be so dull
as teaching just ordinary children.Copy !req
225. I see. You think children are dull
unless they're deaf?Copy !req
226. Well, of course not.Copy !req
227. I see by your references, they say
you're clever with children. Are you?Copy !req
228. Well, I can... usually handle them all right.Copy !req
229. For sense of isolation,
the deaf feel most.Copy !req
230. A school of this kind has the advantage
of giving childrenCopy !req
231. companionship with others
like themselves.Copy !req
232. It gives them, I think,
the confidence they need.Copy !req
233. Yes, I noticed how generous
they were with each other.Copy !req
234. She's having a rather difficult time
which used to end in tears.Copy !req
235. Now she just comes here
and sits quietly until she feels better.Copy !req
236. There is one thing I'd like to ask.Copy !req
237. How far can this be carried?Copy !req
238. I mean, you can teach them
to say a few words and...Copy !req
239. But do they ever get to the stage
where they can live a normal life?Copy !req
240. Can they...?Copy !req
241. Oh, I beg your pardon.Copy !req
242. Yes, I'm one of them.
You were asking me something?Copy !req
243. This is a personal call
for Mr Harry Garland. I'll hang on.Copy !req
244. To steady the nerves.Copy !req
245. The old girl is the one
who's going to be hard to persuade.Copy !req
246. - You keep out of this, my dear.
- Mmm.Copy !req
247. I shouldn't think that Harry
will be all that enthusiastic either.Copy !req
248. What are you going to tell him?
I should say...Copy !req
249. Shall I gag this woman?Copy !req
250. I'm sure it's the right thing to do.Copy !req
251. If only I could get him to come up
and see the place again.Copy !req
252. - Will he come?
- He must.Copy !req
253. Hello?Copy !req
254. Hello, darling. Listen, you remember
that school you came up here to see?Copy !req
255. I've been there today.Copy !req
256. But, Kit, darling,
I can't rush up North just like that.Copy !req
257. If it's going to help Mandy in any way,
it's importantCopy !req
258. but it can't be all that urgent.Copy !req
259. Well, if that's the idea
we will certainly discuss it.Copy !req
260. Darling, we can't come to decisions
like that in a few minutes.Copy !req
261. I'm not turning it down.Copy !req
262. I just think you ought to come home
and we can talk about it here.Copy !req
263. All right, darling.Copy !req
264. Yes.Copy !req
265. What was that, Harry?Copy !req
266. Oh, Lily Tabor took her over
to that school up there.Copy !req
267. - School?
- Yes.Copy !req
268. Surely she doesn't mean we ought
to send Mandy away, does she?Copy !req
269. No, Mother, don't start anything.Copy !req
270. I'd never send Mandy away.Copy !req
271. And if it came to the point,
nor would Christine.Copy !req
272. - Difficult?
- Hmm... sort of.Copy !req
273. Courage of your convictions, my sweet.Copy !req
274. - Your convictions, do you mean?
- Oh, shut up!Copy !req
275. I know I'm right.Copy !req
276. Anyhow, I've permitted myself now.Copy !req
277. Fixed up with Searle to take Mandy.Copy !req
278. Ooh, er...Copy !req
279. - You didn't tell Harry that, did you?
- No.Copy !req
280. Hey, you! Give us a ride!Copy !req
281. - Give us a ride on your bike!
- Go on, be a sport!Copy !req
282. - Mingey blighter!
- We won't hurt it! Be a sport!Copy !req
283. Give us a ride!Copy !req
284. - What's the matter? Lost your tongue?
- Stingy, stingy, stingy!Copy !req
285. It's a free school.
The authorities pay or something.Copy !req
286. - What sort of children are they?
- They're Mandy's sort. They're deaf.Copy !req
287. Harry, if only you'd stay to see the rest
of it. I know you'd feel differently.Copy !req
288. Kit, there may be something
in their methodsCopy !req
289. but you can't seriously suggest
that we should pitchfork Mandy into a...Copy !req
290. Into an institution.Copy !req
291. Children can be very cruel to each other.Copy !req
292. That's life. She's got to face up
to that one day, whatever happens.Copy !req
293. Yes, but not yet. She's not seven
and she's backward.Copy !req
294. In that school,
I saw children younger than MandyCopy !req
295. and deaf like her that could speak.Copy !req
296. They'll grow up
to have some place in the world.Copy !req
297. They'll get the chance
to live like normal people.Copy !req
298. Not shut up like Mandy is.
What we are doing to Mandy is criminal!Copy !req
299. - Christine!
- Why do I have to fight both of you?Copy !req
300. You had no right to tell them that we'd
send Mandy there without consulting us.Copy !req
301. What right had you to promise your
mother not to consider my point of view?Copy !req
302. Look, Kit, we couldn't send Mandy
to a barracks like that,Copy !req
303. if they could teach her to speak Chinese
and jump through hoops!Copy !req
304. She's staying here with us,
where she belongs.Copy !req
305. Look, darling, why don't
you come with me on this trip to Wales?Copy !req
306. What is it, dear?Copy !req
307. Do let her run about a bit.
It's so dull for her if you don't.Copy !req
308. We could take Mandy with us.Copy !req
309. I'll see if I can find a cottage
or get rooms or something.Copy !req
310. That doesn't answer anything, does it?Copy !req
311. I'd give all I have for the right answer,
you know that.Copy !req
312. Yet you won't give the school a trial.Copy !req
313. Must we subject her to more misery
in order to give ourselvesCopy !req
314. the satisfaction of knowing
that we've tried everything once?Copy !req
315. - I don't think you've...
- Darling, I've been there...Copy !req
316. Is this yours?Copy !req
317. Here you are.Copy !req
318. Ask for it nicely. Say please.Copy !req
319. Say please.Copy !req
320. - Let's play Piggie in the Middle.
- All right!Copy !req
321. Come on, Dot!
Come on, Dot! To me!Copy !req
322. Come on! Come and get it!
Come on!Copy !req
323. Oh, give it to her.Copy !req
324. Dougie, don't be mean.
Give it to her.Copy !req
325. All right.Copy !req
326. But not till she says please.Copy !req
327. Stop it! Grab her!Copy !req
328. Darling, control yourself!Copy !req
329. Look at the child! She's insane!Copy !req
330. She's not fit to be with other children!Copy !req
331. Don't you see?Copy !req
332. It's because she isn't used to them
that this sort of thing happens.Copy !req
333. She must learn to live
with other children.Copy !req
334. Kit, we've had this argument 50 times.
We've all tried to explain...Copy !req
335. All? You mean you and your family!Copy !req
336. Your father who's so lazy
he wouldn't lift a finger to helpCopy !req
337. and your mother who uses Mandy
as something to gush aboutCopy !req
338. and sentimentalise over,
like a spinster with a lapdog!Copy !req
339. And you are ashamed of Mandy,
wanting to keep her out of sight.Copy !req
340. You don't care a rap about her!Copy !req
341. - Shut up!
- All you care about is yourself!Copy !req
342. You'd rather she remain dumb!Copy !req
343. 'It was that
that made up my mind.Copy !req
344. 'I knew what I had to do.'Copy !req
345. Mr Chairman...Copy !req
346. Chairman, I'm afraid I must ask for it
to be recorded in the minutesCopy !req
347. that I don't consider a case has been
made out for the increase of staff.Copy !req
348. You mean the trust
won't put up the money?Copy !req
349. I can't speak for my colleagues
on the trust.Copy !req
350. I can only put my views before them.Copy !req
351. May the trust be told the views
of the people who teach children?Copy !req
352. I mean after all... after all
we do know the facts of the case.Copy !req
353. I find it best to remind Mr Searle,
once again, that the teaching staff,Copy !req
354. including himself are at the service
of the board and not its masters.Copy !req
355. Good morning.Copy !req
356. I'm afraid Mr Searle may be delayed
but he's been told you're here.Copy !req
357. - Oh, thank you.
- Hello, Mandy.Copy !req
358. Shall we go in and see what's happening
in your class this morning?Copy !req
359. But we are faced
with a great deal of expenditure.Copy !req
360. The estimate for cleaning the front
of the building and indoor painting aloneCopy !req
361. come to well over £1,000.Copy !req
362. - It that really essential?
- I certainly think it is.Copy !req
363. When the Lord Mayor came around
at Christmas, I was positively ashamed.Copy !req
364. Oh, damn the Lord Mayor.Copy !req
365. If I'm to be sworn at, Mr Chairman,
then I have no more to say.Copy !req
366. We can't spend money on making
everything look pretty for visitorsCopy !req
367. and then say
we can't afford the staff.Copy !req
368. - Hear, hear!
- The children are, after all, the point.Copy !req
369. I've been a member of this board
for the last 25 years.Copy !req
370. I might have been lectured
and overruled...Copy !req
371. No, Mr Ackland.Copy !req
372. The board hopes you will give us
the money for the teachers and the paint.Copy !req
373. Exactly.Copy !req
374. Then we all agree the matter be left
to the offices of Mr AcklandCopy !req
375. to put up to the trust.Copy !req
376. Now we come to the very generous
offer of bulbs to go in the beds outside...Copy !req
377. Mr Chairman, I wonder
if the board will excuse me.Copy !req
378. The other items don't concern me
and I've got some people waiting.Copy !req
379. Mr Chairman, before Mr Searle goes,
I think he should make some apologyCopy !req
380. for the remark
he made a short time ago.Copy !req
381. - You mean, "Damn the Lord Mayor"?
- Yes.Copy !req
382. Mr Chairman, I certainly do withdraw
the remark and apologise for it.Copy !req
383. I've got nothing against the Lord Mayor.
He's a nice man.Copy !req
384. I'm not going to withdraw or apologise
for saying that our jobCopy !req
385. is to teach deaf children
and not impress important visitors.Copy !req
386. Does that satisfy you, Mr Ackland?Copy !req
387. She'll be a bit shy at first but you'll be
surprised how soon they settle down.Copy !req
388. - Would you like to stay around for a bit?
- No. No, I think I'll go.Copy !req
389. - Goodbye.
- Bye.Copy !req
390. - Oh. Everything settled?
- Yes, thank you.Copy !req
391. Oh, she'll be all right.
There's no need to worry.Copy !req
392. I shall be at the Tabor's
if you should want me.Copy !req
393. You see, she's never been away from
home before or been with other children.Copy !req
394. - We'll have to see how it works out.
- Thank you.Copy !req
395. But surely as the child's father,
I must have some say in the matter.Copy !req
396. Yes. It's a pity, of course,
that you struck her.Copy !req
397. Striking a little woman
is always a mistake.Copy !req
398. We know they often ask for it
but the courts take it in view.Copy !req
399. That doesn't give her the right
to take her to... this place.Copy !req
400. You're the child's legal guardian.Copy !req
401. In the matter of custody,Copy !req
402. the court usually awards it to the mother,
with a child that age.Copy !req
403. And a girl.Copy !req
404. After the statutory period of desertion,Copy !req
405. you would presumably
have grounds for divorce.Copy !req
406. I don't want a divorce.Copy !req
407. I simply want them both back.Copy !req
408. You might refuse to provide for her
if she stays up there.Copy !req
409. Well, that wouldn't do any good.Copy !req
410. She's already said she'd get a job
and keep herself.Copy !req
411. She will, too. She's not
the sort of person that's easy to bully.Copy !req
412. Well, frankly, I don't think that we
can do anything, except for the school.Copy !req
413. If we wrote and told them
that they'd be taking the childCopy !req
414. against its father's wishes,
it might be a bit dodgy for them.Copy !req
415. He means the school would be
in an awkward position.Copy !req
416. I've looked it up here, and there's
a fellow called Ackland, the governor,Copy !req
417. an honorary solicitor to add.Copy !req
418. I think the thing to do
is to write a nice, dignified letterCopy !req
419. telling them that they're up the creek
without a paddle.Copy !req
420. A delicate situation.Copy !req
421. - It's that Crocker girl, indeed.
- Now look here, child...Copy !req
422. She got out of bed. I tried
to put her back and she wouldn't go.Copy !req
423. But she just sits there and sulks
and then this happens!Copy !req
424. - Horrible, ill-natured...
- That'll do, Miss Crocker.Copy !req
425. She's just like a wild animal.Copy !req
426. You're speaking of a child of six
who is deaf and dumb.Copy !req
427. - You're here to help her.
- I was trying to help her.Copy !req
428. Look at me when you speak.
I'm deaf, remember.Copy !req
429. If you have any pity to spare,
give it to the child.Copy !req
430. Don't waste it on yourself.Copy !req
431. I'm sorry.Copy !req
432. What's wrong, Mandy?Copy !req
433. Come on, now. Eat it.Copy !req
434. Mandy, which one is the donkey?Copy !req
435. Joan, show me.Copy !req
436. Donkey? That's right.Copy !req
437. Donkey?
Mandy, show me donkey.Copy !req
438. Which one is the tiger? Tiger.Copy !req
439. Colin, which one is the tiger?Copy !req
440. That's right, tiger.
Mandy, which one is the tiger?Copy !req
441. Tiger. Come on, Mandy.Copy !req
442. Tiger. Show me the tiger.Copy !req
443. Tiger, Mandy.
Which one is the tiger? Tiger...Copy !req
444. - How is it going with that one?
- Not too good. She's a very tricky one.Copy !req
445. - And how was it last night?
- Not much better.Copy !req
446. We'll give it another couple of days
and we'll see.Copy !req
447. Mandy, you mustn't get out of bed, dear.
Now do try to go to sleep.Copy !req
448. There's a good girl. Now come on.
Come on, back to bed.Copy !req
449. Back to bed.Copy !req
450. Give the child time.Copy !req
451. While she's upset
about this night business,Copy !req
452. we're getting nowhere with her
during the day.Copy !req
453. That's nobody's fault.
Least of all yours, Dick.Copy !req
454. - We failed, let's face it.
- Huh?Copy !req
455. Oh, I'm sorry. I said we failed.Copy !req
456. No, not yet.
She's just one of the difficult ones.Copy !req
457. - We've had difficult ones before.
- Not at her age.Copy !req
458. She came to us late.Copy !req
459. She was wholly dependent
on the mother.Copy !req
460. Never mixed with other children.Copy !req
461. Meanwhile, we're losing out.Copy !req
462. If you've made a bloomer,
the best thing is to admit it.Copy !req
463. You must do what you think best.Copy !req
464. Most important,
what you think best for the child.Copy !req
465. I'll get on to the mother.Copy !req
466. Darling!Copy !req
467. Oh, let's wipe those tears away.Copy !req
468. Come on, love. Smile, come on.Copy !req
469. I'm driving up to town,
if you want a lift to the Tabor's.Copy !req
470. Thank you. Come on, love.Copy !req
471. Look, this is no business of mineCopy !req
472. but I gather your husband
is against her going to a school.Copy !req
473. He wants her at home.Copy !req
474. Seems he was right.Copy !req
475. So, if you take her back to London,
even a day school is out.Copy !req
476. It will be if we go back to the family.Copy !req
477. Well, it's no good here
while she's in that state.Copy !req
478. If I found a room somewhere near
the school, could you keep her?Copy !req
479. - You mean, as a day-boarder?
- Yes.Copy !req
480. Well, what about your husband?Copy !req
481. Presumably, that would mean
leaving him in London.Copy !req
482. I've already left him.Copy !req
483. As the school's solicitor,
what answer can I give to that?Copy !req
484. You're obviously in the wrong.Copy !req
485. The child is boarding here
against her father's wishes.Copy !req
486. I'd just tell them to get their facts right.Copy !req
487. She's not boarding here,
she's living in town with her mother.Copy !req
488. - That is not my information.
- Then your information is wrong.Copy !req
489. Well, in that case,
she has no right here at all.Copy !req
490. It's against the rules of the school
to take day pupils.Copy !req
491. Except in special cases
and under discretion of the headmaster.Copy !req
492. This is a special case
and I happen to be the headmaster.Copy !req
493. The child needs my help.
Her mother needs help.Copy !req
494. I'm going to give it to them.
That's what I'm here for.Copy !req
495. Mr Searle, I'm going to ask you
a blunt question.Copy !req
496. Why is it that since you came here
you've consistently opposed my wishes?Copy !req
497. Opposed your wishes?Copy !req
498. I'm too busy with these to wonder
about opposing your wishes or not.Copy !req
499. You talk as if you've invented children!Copy !req
500. Let me tell youCopy !req
501. that I was working for this school
when you were still a boy!Copy !req
502. - Its reputation is...
- Mr Ackland.Copy !req
503. The difference between you
and me is thatCopy !req
504. you think a school is a lot of buildings
and a balance sheet and a reputation.Copy !req
505. I think it's just a lot of individual...Copy !req
506. kids.Copy !req
507. About tomorrow, if I go and fetch herCopy !req
508. at five in the evening,
would that be all right?Copy !req
509. Trouble?Copy !req
510. I will not tolerate
that man's rudeness and arrogance!Copy !req
511. - Searle?
- Mmm.Copy !req
512. I thought you said
you'd got him this time.Copy !req
513. He's taken the child in
without the father's consentCopy !req
514. but not as a boarder.
He's fixed that.Copy !req
515. She's taking the time with her mother
and coming in as a day pupil.Copy !req
516. He's falling over himself
to help the mother, isn't he?Copy !req
517. What's she like? Good-looking?Copy !req
518. I can't imagine.Copy !req
519. When a man says a girl needs helping,Copy !req
520. it's nearly always
the same sort of help he means.Copy !req
521. Is Searle married?Copy !req
522. - Separated from his wife.
- People get lonely.Copy !req
523. If there were
a slightest question of a scandal,Copy !req
524. it would do the school
a great deal of harm.Copy !req
525. Yes. They'd throw him out of his job.Copy !req
526. - Get Davey in.
- Yes, Mr Ackland.Copy !req
527. Get Mr Davey, please.Copy !req
528. Send a letter to this fellow,
whatshisname,Copy !req
529. Garlands solicitor's, Woollard and Son.Copy !req
530. Make the point that this girl is now...
Just a minute, Davey.Copy !req
531. Is now a day pupil and no longer
under the school's jurisdiction.Copy !req
532. But that I, as a governor, regard
the whole position as very unsatisfactoryCopy !req
533. and that I intend
making further enquiries,Copy !req
534. which I shall be happy
to acquaint them.Copy !req
535. Now, Davey, I want you to...Copy !req
536. Baby.Copy !req
537. Baby.Copy !req
538. Baby. Baby.Copy !req
539. Baby. Baby.Copy !req
540. Baby. Baby.Copy !req
541. Baby.Copy !req
542. Baby.Copy !req
543. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
You try, Mandy.Copy !req
544. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
Come on, now.Copy !req
545. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
Feel the vibration. You try it.Copy !req
546. Ba-ba-ba-ba.Copy !req
547. No, dear, you're not feeling it.Copy !req
548. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba...Copy !req
549. Again! That's it, Mandy! Feel it!Copy !req
550. Now again!Copy !req
551. Good. That's it, Mandy.
Feel your voice.Copy !req
552. Keep it going. That's right, that's right.Copy !req
553. Come on. You've got it. That's right.Copy !req
554. Keep it going.Copy !req
555. Now... feel it.Copy !req
556. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.Copy !req
557. Come on.
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.Copy !req
558. Ba... ba... ba... ba...Copy !req
559. - Ba...
- That's it, Mandy.Copy !req
560. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.Copy !req
561. Nina, show me what you've written.Copy !req
562. Ba... ba... ba...Copy !req
563. Ba... ba... ba...Copy !req
564. - Mr Searle?
- Yes?Copy !req
565. There is something
that I wanted to ask you.Copy !req
566. Yes.Copy !req
567. - You know that I wanted to leave.
- Yes.Copy !req
568. Well... I wondered whether
it would be possible for me to stay.Copy !req
569. I thought you might be asking that.
Yes, of course you can stay if you want.Copy !req
570. - What does she say, dear?
- Oh, loving as ever.Copy !req
571. Very sorry for what she's done
but proposes to go on doing it.Copy !req
572. "Darling, I hate having made you hit me.Copy !req
573. "It was my fault for saying those things
and I'm sorry. Really I am.Copy !req
574. "I know you'll have hated it, too,
because it isn't like us."Copy !req
575. Us?Copy !req
576. Harry, don't you think
you ought to go up there and talk to her?Copy !req
577. Then I suppose if you didCopy !req
578. she'd think it was weakness
and become even more stubborn.Copy !req
579. This is a nice little touch.Copy !req
580. The post script.Copy !req
581. 'It was my fault
for saying those thingsCopy !req
582. 'and I'm sorry. Really I am.Copy !req
583. 'I know you'll have hated it, too,
because it isn't like us.Copy !req
584. 'You know you're the only person
in the world I love except Mandy.Copy !req
585. 'And I'm very lonely,
rather frightenedCopy !req
586. 'and... missing you quite horribly.'Copy !req
587. Hello, telegram?Copy !req
588. Daddy. Daddy.Copy !req
589. Mummy. Mummy.Copy !req
590. Me.Copy !req
591. It's from Daddy.Copy !req
592. He's coming to see us.Copy !req
593. It's from Daddy.Copy !req
594. Daddy.Copy !req
595. Do you want to talk about things now?Copy !req
596. You were quite right.
It was too big a change for her.Copy !req
597. Marmalade?Copy !req
598. She hated it.
We weren't getting anywhere.Copy !req
599. Well, it was worth trying.
It might have gone the other way.Copy !req
600. Darling.Copy !req
601. Anyhow, as soon as she started as
a day girl she settled down beautifully.Copy !req
602. You know... we've been a pair of asses.Copy !req
603. We were both partly right
and partly wrong.Copy !req
604. I think we probably shall
have to find a school for her.Copy !req
605. Find a school?Copy !req
606. - Yes, one she can go to from home.
- Darling?Copy !req
607. As soon as we get back,
we'll start looking around.Copy !req
608. We can't take her away from here
now that she's doing so well.Copy !req
609. Why not? What...?Copy !req
610. What's so special about this school?Copy !req
611. Well, she's got used to them.
She trusts them.Copy !req
612. We can't go through all that again.Copy !req
613. Anyhow, darling, there's no doubt about it
that Dick has an absolute genius for...Copy !req
614. - Dick?
- Dick Searle.Copy !req
615. - You met him.
- Yes?Copy !req
616. The Tabors call him Dick
so I do, too.Copy !req
617. Of course.Copy !req
618. Well, just wait until you see him
with Mandy and then you'll understand.Copy !req
619. See him with Mandy?Copy !req
620. Yes, he's coming here this morning.
I thought you'd want to talk to him.Copy !req
621. Why should I?Copy !req
622. Darling, let's face it.Copy !req
623. We both love Mandy,Copy !req
624. but here is somebody
who can help her more than we can.Copy !req
625. You mean more than I can?
She needs you but...Copy !req
626. All right, we'll play it that way.Copy !req
627. As long as you don't expect me to stay
and be enthusiastic about it.Copy !req
628. Hello.Copy !req
629. Good morning.
I gather Mandy is doing well.Copy !req
630. Oh, yes, she is fine.Copy !req
631. Well, darling. I'm sorry
I've got to rush back but...Copy !req
632. - Must you?
- I'm afraid so.Copy !req
633. Bye, Mandy.Copy !req
634. Goodbye. Write to me.Copy !req
635. - Goodbye.
- Goodbye.Copy !req
636. Look up the London trains for me.Copy !req
637. Isn't it rather... giving in to her, dear?Copy !req
638. What else could I do,Copy !req
639. when your wife tells you flat
that you can't help your childCopy !req
640. and somebody else can?Copy !req
641. But doesn't the child's home
and father mean anything to her?Copy !req
642. Apparently not.Copy !req
643. This... This teacher?Copy !req
644. What sort of man is he?Copy !req
645. Oh, it's the old witch-doctor thing.Copy !req
646. Kit's always wanted to believe
in miracles,Copy !req
647. especially where Mandy is concerned.Copy !req
648. He's told her that he's going to teach
Mandy to talk and she believes him.Copy !req
649. The only person in the world
who can help Mandy is Searle.Copy !req
650. I'm no good, you're no good,
nobody else is any good.Copy !req
651. Take the genuine witch-doctor medicine
and refuse all substitutes.Copy !req
652. If only I could prove to him,
show him how well she was getting on.Copy !req
653. Well, do you think
he'd come round, then?Copy !req
654. Of course.Copy !req
655. Come here, I'll do that.Copy !req
656. If you like, I could come in sometimes
in the evenings and coach her.Copy !req
657. That would speed things up a bit.Copy !req
658. But have you got the time?Copy !req
659. Well, I'll manage it somehow.
I'll come in tomorrow evening.Copy !req
660. That's awfully good of you.Copy !req
661. It would help
my husband and me a lot if...Copy !req
662. Well, maybe, but the main thing
is to get her on.Copy !req
663. Then you can all sort it out how you like.Copy !req
664. Bye, Mandy.Copy !req
665. Mrs Garland?Copy !req
666. - Garland? Yes, she's on the first floor.
- Thank you.Copy !req
667. Toller, maybe that was the name?
Big woman, heavy built.Copy !req
668. No, that's not her.
This one's quite thin. Pretty.Copy !req
669. She's the one that's got a kid
that's a bit...Copy !req
670. You know, can't speak,
just makes noises.Copy !req
671. Eyes.Copy !req
672. Eye.Copy !req
673. Nose.Copy !req
674. Nose.Copy !req
675. Ear.Copy !req
676. Ear.Copy !req
677. Nose.Copy !req
678. Nose.Copy !req
679. That's a good girl!Copy !req
680. - Apple or orange?
- Apple.Copy !req
681. Apple.Copy !req
682. - Thank you.
- Good.Copy !req
683. Mandy. Come on.Copy !req
684. Apple or orange?Copy !req
685. Which do you want?Copy !req
686. Where's the clock?Copy !req
687. Where's the door?Copy !req
688. Where's the fireplace?Copy !req
689. Where's Sophie? Sophie?Copy !req
690. Clever girl!
Come and give me a great big kiss!Copy !req
691. Then on his way home,
he passed a bridge.Copy !req
692. Michael, you be the little boy.Copy !req
693. That's right.Copy !req
694. And he wanted to put the basket
under a tree.Copy !req
695. Mandy, you be the tree.Copy !req
696. That's right.Copy !req
697. Put the basket under the tree, Michael.Copy !req
698. Thank you. Climb on the bridge.Copy !req
699. The little boy climbed on the bridgeCopy !req
700. and he took his fishing rod
to catch a fish.Copy !req
701. Brian, you be the fish.Copy !req
702. - P.
- P.Copy !req
703. - P.
- P.Copy !req
704. Flick at the front. T, T.Copy !req
705. T, T.Copy !req
706. Flick at the back. K, K.Copy !req
707. K, K.Copy !req
708. - Mmm.
- Mmm.Copy !req
709. - Nnn.
- Nnn.Copy !req
710. - Ooo.
- Ooo.Copy !req
711. - Sss.
- Sss.Copy !req
712. Man.Copy !req
713. D.Copy !req
714. D.Copy !req
715. Eee.Copy !req
716. Man-dee.Copy !req
717. M. M.Copy !req
718. A. A.Copy !req
719. You were there
on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nightCopy !req
720. for one hour and a half, two hours
and two and a half hours, respectively.Copy !req
721. Another week
and you'll see the sun rise.Copy !req
722. Please. Does the landlady
have any information?Copy !req
723. Nothing of a compromising nature, sir.Copy !req
724. She can never give him a chance.Copy !req
725. Quite, thank you.
Carry on, will you?Copy !req
726. When Searle was appointed,
the board got a letter from his wife.Copy !req
727. - Have we got it here?
- I think the Chairman's still got it.Copy !req
728. All right, thank you.Copy !req
729. Ah, I know what that is. Train.Copy !req
730. Train.Copy !req
731. And that's a house.Copy !req
732. House.Copy !req
733. Tree. Tree.Copy !req
734. Lady.Copy !req
735. Miss Stockton?Copy !req
736. Miss Larner?Copy !req
737. Mmm.Copy !req
738. If you'll make this do for a minute,
I'll have another look.Copy !req
739. - Never mind.
- I'll bring it up.Copy !req
740. Christine! Here!Copy !req
741. What is it?Copy !req
742. Mmm. Mmm.Copy !req
743. - Quickly!
- What's the matter?Copy !req
744. Mmm.Copy !req
745. Mmm.Copy !req
746. Mummy. Mummy.Copy !req
747. Mummy.Copy !req
748. Mummy. Mummy. Mummy.Copy !req
749. Mummy.Copy !req
750. - Yes, she's... done very well.
- I'm sorry.Copy !req
751. After two months that's not bad.Copy !req
752. She spoke!
It means that she can!Copy !req
753. It means she has a chance.Copy !req
754. Now, you mustn't expect too much
because it will never be easy for her.Copy !req
755. She has a chance.Copy !req
756. Do you know, it's like seeing the door
of a cage beginning to open.Copy !req
757. I wish we could celebrate or something.Copy !req
758. That might not be a bad idea for you.
You ought to get out a bit more.Copy !req
759. Look, why don't you get somebody to sit
with her and take an evening off?Copy !req
760. Hello, Jane. Do you want me?Copy !req
761. Hello, Dick. Yes, nothing very important.Copy !req
762. Just to tell you
about the Pitcher Trust meeting.Copy !req
763. You'll get your new teachers.Copy !req
764. Ah, so Ackland's been overruled?Copy !req
765. No, he climbed down
of his own accord.Copy !req
766. That's odd.
Doesn't sound like our little pal.Copy !req
767. No.Copy !req
768. I've got good news, too.Copy !req
769. The Garland child
got its first word out tonight.Copy !req
770. You know I've been giving it
extra tuition in the evenings.Copy !req
771. Yes, I heard you were doing that.Copy !req
772. It's good news
because it means we can proveCopy !req
773. we were justified over the trouble
when she first came.Copy !req
774. Yes.Copy !req
775. I wanted to ask you
something about that, Dick.Copy !req
776. I wanted to say something
I hope you won't resent.Copy !req
777. Resent? Why?Copy !req
778. I think you should coach that child
here at the school,Copy !req
779. not at Mrs Garland's.Copy !req
780. Why?Copy !req
781. I think it would be... wiser.Copy !req
782. Jane...
Jane, don't beat about the bush.Copy !req
783. Are you suggesting that I'm having
an affair with Mrs Garland?Copy !req
784. - No.
- Then who is?Copy !req
785. Nobody... yet.Copy !req
786. But you must realise Mrs Garland
is a very attractive woman.Copy !req
787. There's bound to be a little gossip.Copy !req
788. That's harmless enough,Copy !req
789. unless it comes to the ears of someone
who wants to make mischief.Copy !req
790. Ackland.Copy !req
791. When you were appointed,Copy !req
792. your wife wrote to the board
a very malicious letter.Copy !req
793. I never knew that.Copy !req
794. There was no point in telling you.Copy !req
795. But today, Ackland asked the Chairman
for a copy of that letter.Copy !req
796. I see.Copy !req
797. It may be nothing
but I wanted to warn you.Copy !req
798. Yes.Copy !req
799. I don't need to tell you, Dick,Copy !req
800. that in work like this,
you are very vulnerable.Copy !req
801. You're dealing with mothers of children
when they're in a very emotional state.Copy !req
802. You're helping them.Copy !req
803. They're relying upon you.Copy !req
804. So, it wouldn't be surprising if...Copy !req
805. You're quite right, of course.Copy !req
806. You meet an attractive woman
and she trusts you and is grateful to you.Copy !req
807. It's flattering.Copy !req
808. Before you know where you are,
you think it's...Copy !req
809. But you know it isn't.Copy !req
810. Well, of course not.Copy !req
811. All right, Jane. I'll deal with it.Copy !req
812. Hello?Copy !req
813. No, I'm afraid Mr Ackland's
in court this morning.Copy !req
814. This is his confidential
secretary speaking.Copy !req
815. Oh! Mr, Woollard, isn't it?Copy !req
816. Yes, yes, we're very busy on that.Copy !req
817. Our man brought in
some more evidence yesterday.Copy !req
818. Evidence?Copy !req
819. Look, my sweet, are you sure
we're on the same wavelength?Copy !req
820. Garland, that's it.Copy !req
821. It's just that they said Master Tykes
made things a bit difficultCopy !req
822. and Ackland said
he'd go into it for us but if...Copy !req
823. Yes?Copy !req
824. Mr Davey? Who's he?Copy !req
825. He's the little man
who does our divorce stuff.Copy !req
826. Divorce? Yes.Copy !req
827. Oh, no, of course not.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to rush you.Copy !req
828. Divorced. Did you know?Copy !req
829. Yes. No, it's just that I was trying
to find out how things were going.Copy !req
830. I seem to be a bit out of touch.
Goodbye.Copy !req
831. What do you suppose
those characters are up to?Copy !req
832. It's most irregular.Copy !req
833. Harry should have advised us
if he's instructed this man.Copy !req
834. Yes.Copy !req
835. If.Copy !req
836. And get me Mr Garland,
Harry Garland at his office.Copy !req
837. I want you to wait.
I shall only be five minutes.Copy !req
838. Darling, what's the matter?Copy !req
839. Oh, it's some nonsense up at the school.
I've got to go and sort it out.Copy !req
840. - Christine?
- Yes, of course.Copy !req
841. - Harry, what is it?
- Nothing.Copy !req
842. You wouldn't go dashing off like this
if it were nothing.Copy !req
843. I've got to catch a train.
I'll tell you about it later.Copy !req
844. - Fred?
- Yes.Copy !req
845. I don't know what's happened
but Harry's back.Copy !req
846. He's packing and rushing off
and he won't tell me why.Copy !req
847. Well, perhaps
he doesn't want you to know.Copy !req
848. Look, darling, do something for me.Copy !req
849. Put a trunk call through
to this chap, Ackland.Copy !req
850. Tell him I want to see him tonight
at his office. It's very important.Copy !req
851. I shan't be there until seven
but make him wait for me.Copy !req
852. All right, dear.Copy !req
853. What's all this, Harry?Copy !req
854. Oh, well, if you must know, Woollard
tells me that these solicitors up thereCopy !req
855. have... been spying on Kit.Copy !req
856. - Spying on her?
- Yes.Copy !req
857. Why?Copy !req
858. I don't know.Copy !req
859. They've pitched him some yarn
about her playing around with a man.Copy !req
860. What man?Copy !req
861. They didn't say.Copy !req
862. Mr Woollard was asking for information
about Mr Garland.Copy !req
863. How was I to know you wanted things
kept back? I'm not a mind-reader.Copy !req
864. No, you're a confidential secretary.
You might behave like one occasionally.Copy !req
865. On duty or off?Copy !req
866. Listen...Copy !req
867. We've no real facts on this case yet. We
haven't even heard from Searle's wife.Copy !req
868. There he is now.Copy !req
869. See that Davey is standing by, will you?Copy !req
870. Mr Garland.Copy !req
871. Do come in. We've been expecting you.Copy !req
872. How do you do?Copy !req
873. How do you do? Oh, er...Copy !req
874. Won't you sit down?Copy !req
875. Now, I gather there's been
some misunderstandingCopy !req
876. between my secretary and Mr Woollard.Copy !req
877. I hope so.Copy !req
878. Good night, darling.
Be a good girl.Copy !req
879. I won't be very late, Mrs Jackson.Copy !req
880. She'll be all right with me,
don't you worry.Copy !req
881. I'm ready.Copy !req
882. You say you were accosted
by the landlady?Copy !req
883. - She came over to the pub?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
884. How did she know you were there?Copy !req
885. - Had you talked to her before?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
886. I've had enough of this dirt.
Get this man out of here.Copy !req
887. All right, Davey.Copy !req
888. Mr Garland, your attitude
does you great credit.Copy !req
889. But in my profession,Copy !req
890. I'm afraid if it weren't
for the Daveys and the landladies,Copy !req
891. honourable people would have
no defence against those who are,Copy !req
892. well, less honourable.Copy !req
893. - What do you mean less honourable?
- I was only generalising.Copy !req
894. - I'm going to see my wife.
- As a legal man I must tell you...Copy !req
895. - You're not my legal man!
- Consult your solicitors.Copy !req
896. The only person
I should consult is my wife.Copy !req
897. 'She does live here
but she's out at the moment.'Copy !req
898. 'Where's the child?'Copy !req
899. - 'Upstairs.'
- 'Alone?'Copy !req
900. No, but you can't go up
without Mrs Garland and she's gone out.Copy !req
901. 'I'm Mrs Garland's husband.'Copy !req
902. Where's my daughter?
Is she in there?Copy !req
903. Yes.Copy !req
904. She's asleep.Copy !req
905. What time do you expect
Mrs Garland back?Copy !req
906. She said she didn't know.Copy !req
907. I'm taking my child away.
Where can I phone for a car?Copy !req
908. The telephone's across the road.Copy !req
909. You can't go taking her,
not until her mother comes back.Copy !req
910. I'm in charge of that child.Copy !req
911. You may be her father
but I don't know, do I?Copy !req
912. Yes, you're quite right.Copy !req
913. Look, I'll go and phone for a car then
I'll come back and wait for Mrs Garland.Copy !req
914. But who's been saying these things?Copy !req
915. Can't I tell them...?Copy !req
916. Tell them what?Copy !req
917. That it's all nonsense.Copy !req
918. Well, the trouble is
it isn't quite all nonsense, is it?Copy !req
919. I know, I know
these people are wrongCopy !req
920. because to them... loving somebody
can only mean one thing.Copy !req
921. The only thing that worries me is that...Copy !req
922. I think they might try
and get hold of Evelyn.Copy !req
923. That's my wife.
And spin her some kind of a yarn.Copy !req
924. She's...Copy !req
925. a very unstable person
and might make some unpleasantness.Copy !req
926. You never told me you were married.Copy !req
927. You think I should have told you?Copy !req
928. No.Copy !req
929. No, of course not.Copy !req
930. Would you mind waiting?
I may be some time.Copy !req
931. Yes, sir.Copy !req
932. Hello, darling.Copy !req
933. Come on.Copy !req
934. Thanks for the dinner...Copy !req
935. and everything else.Copy !req
936. Mrs Jackson says that Harry is upstairs.Copy !req
937. Hello, darling. Why didn't you tell me
you were coming?Copy !req
938. Where have you been?Copy !req
939. Out to dinner with Mr Searle.Copy !req
940. What do you mean by leaving Mandy
alone in a place like this?Copy !req
941. Mr Garland...Copy !req
942. I'd rather you kept out of this if
you don't mind. I want to talk to my wife.Copy !req
943. Yes, I dare say.Copy !req
944. But I don't want you to get the ideaCopy !req
945. that your child
is being neglected in any way.Copy !req
946. I can assure you that Mrs Garland
has never left her alone for a single hourCopy !req
947. of a single evening until this evening.Copy !req
948. Well, you should know, shouldn't you?Copy !req
949. I understand you've been here
practically every night.Copy !req
950. - Darling!
- Who told you that?Copy !req
951. - Well, isn't it true?
- Well, yes, but...Copy !req
952. He's been coming here
to coach Mandy.Copy !req
953. Night after night.Copy !req
954. When he's finished a day's work,
he's been coming here to work with her.Copy !req
955. So as to get her on quickly.Copy !req
956. And tonight?Copy !req
957. Tonight... we went out.
For a very special reason.Copy !req
958. Harry, it's beginning to work.Copy !req
959. She's beginning to speak.Copy !req
960. I didn't tell you before
because I wanted it to be a surprise.Copy !req
961. I've had my surprise, thanks.Copy !req
962. Look, man, use your brains!Copy !req
963. The child's making real progress.Copy !req
964. - Doesn't that mean anything to you?
- Harry, you can hear for yourself.Copy !req
965. All right, then, show me!
Let's hear what she can do.Copy !req
966. - Now?
- Yes, now!Copy !req
967. - We'll do nothing of the kind!
- What right have you to give orders?Copy !req
968. Because that child
is just beginning to speak.Copy !req
969. If you drag her out of bed
and put her on trial now, she may fail.Copy !req
970. And if she does,
it will put her back for weeksCopy !req
971. and you'll be the one who makes her fail!Copy !req
972. She won't forget that!Copy !req
973. All right.Copy !req
974. Go ahead if you want to.Copy !req
975. I can't stop you
but I won't be a party to it.Copy !req
976. Don't you realise that DickCopy !req
977. doesn't care about anything
except the children?Copy !req
978. Darling!Copy !req
979. Who dressed her?Copy !req
980. - I did.
- Why?Copy !req
981. Because we're catching
the midnight train. All three of us.Copy !req
982. - I won't have her here another hour.
- Harry!Copy !req
983. Mandy... Look, show Daddy
how you can say words.Copy !req
984. Who's this? Mummy.Copy !req
985. Show Daddy what you can say.
Who's this?Copy !req
986. Mum-my.Copy !req
987. Say mummy, darling.Copy !req
988. Mummy. Mummy.Copy !req
989. Mandy, you can say mummy.
You said it yesterday.Copy !req
990. Say mummy. Say mummy.Copy !req
991. Mummy. Say mummy. Mummy.Copy !req
992. Darling, mummy.Copy !req
993. Mummy, please, darling.Copy !req
994. Mummy. Mummy.Copy !req
995. Stop it! Stop it!Copy !req
996. I won't have it.Copy !req
997. It's all right, darling, it's all right.Copy !req
998. I shouldn't have done it.
Dick told me not to.Copy !req
999. - Now you don't believe me.
- I don't know what to believe!Copy !req
1000. I've heard enough for one day.
I'm sick to the stomach with it!Copy !req
1001. Did you and your boyfriend know
they've set divorce detectives on you?Copy !req
1002. What do you think I feel when they bring
your dirty, sneaky stories to me?Copy !req
1003. - What...?
- That he's been here every night.Copy !req
1004. - But, darling I...
- That you've been seen kissing him.Copy !req
1005. - Is it true?
- Is what true?Copy !req
1006. Have you ever kissed him?Copy !req
1007. Yes...Copy !req
1008. Harry...Copy !req
1009. Go to sleep, darling.Copy !req
1010. - Harry!
- Mother.Copy !req
1011. - Where's Christine?
- I...Copy !req
1012. I left her up there.Copy !req
1013. Is my husband in, Miss Cameron?Copy !req
1014. He's in there, Mrs Garland.Copy !req
1015. - Hello, Harry.
- Hello, Christine.Copy !req
1016. Dick Searle's here.Copy !req
1017. I've got something I want to say to you.
Will you listen to it?Copy !req
1018. What I want to say to you is this,Copy !req
1019. that in the whole of the dirty little scandal
about your wife and me,Copy !req
1020. you're just being made a mug.Copy !req
1021. You're being taken in by a man named
Ackland. Have you heard of him?Copy !req
1022. Yes, I thought so.Copy !req
1023. Well, Ackland doesn't like me
and I don't like AcklandCopy !req
1024. and this whole business
is something he's cooked upCopy !req
1025. to get me out of my job.Copy !req
1026. With your kind help and cooperation,
it looks as though it's going to work.Copy !req
1027. So you've come here
because your job may be in danger?Copy !req
1028. Yes, and I think that's important.Copy !req
1029. More important than any mess
you and your wife are in.Copy !req
1030. I teach deaf children like Mandy.
I'm a good teacher.Copy !req
1031. P.Copy !req
1032. P.Copy !req
1033. P.Copy !req
1034. P.Copy !req
1035. Fred, what's the matter?Copy !req
1036. Emily, I don't know what's been going on
in this school and I don't care,Copy !req
1037. but I do know that Mandy's a different
child from when she went away.Copy !req
1038. Harry had no right
to take her away from Christine.Copy !req
1039. No, I know. I don't think
Harry realised what he was doing.Copy !req
1040. Well, it's time he did.Copy !req
1041. - That child should go back.
- To the school?Copy !req
1042. - Hello, Christine.
- Hello, Mother. Hello, Dad.Copy !req
1043. - Where's Harry?
- In there.Copy !req
1044. No, no, you stay here.Copy !req
1045. This time I'll do the interfering
and you do the keeping-out.Copy !req
1046. I'm glad you're back.Copy !req
1047. - Oh, Mr Searle, you're not going?
- Dad, do you mind not butting in?Copy !req
1048. My dear boy, I don't want to butt in.Copy !req
1049. I just wondered
what you'd decided on this question.Copy !req
1050. Has Mr Searle
been making love to ChristineCopy !req
1051. or has he been teaching Mandy?Copy !req
1052. Harry, sometimes I'm not quite certain
just what you do believe.Copy !req
1053. I mean, if you believe that Christine
has been unfaithful to you,Copy !req
1054. presumably you're going to do
something about it.Copy !req
1055. Divorce her or something,
is that the idea?Copy !req
1056. He doesn't believe it.
He knows perfectly well...Copy !req
1057. Mr Searle, I'm talking to my son.Copy !req
1058. Whereas if you believe that it's all
just a silly piece of gossip,Copy !req
1059. and that Christine and Mr Searle have
merely been doing their best for Mandy,Copy !req
1060. and have indeed done a lot for her,Copy !req
1061. the question
of his wife's faithfulness, Harry,Copy !req
1062. is one on which a man
must make up his mind.Copy !req
1063. He may not make it up correctly
but he must make it up.Copy !req
1064. No, I don't believe it.Copy !req
1065. Kit isn't like that.Copy !req
1066. I don't believe a word of it.Copy !req
1067. I can't find her anywhere.Copy !req
1068. There she is!Copy !req
1069. She's got a ball.Copy !req
1070. Hey, lend us your ball!Copy !req
1071. Your ball!Copy !req
1072. Wait.Copy !req
1073. You can have it back.Copy !req
1074. Ta.Copy !req
1075. You want to join in?Copy !req
1076. What's your name?Copy !req
1077. Mandy.Copy !req
1078. What?Copy !req
1079. Mandy.Copy !req
1080. Her name is Mandy. Mandy?Copy !req
1081. Right, get the bat!
Come on, let's go!Copy !req
1082. Come on, Mandy!Copy !req
