1. Yeah, mate, I said 30, you can't
expect to get away with it like that.
Copy !req
2. Make a better deal or it's off.
Copy !req
3. OK? Well, I'll see you tomorrow then,
ten o'clock, my place.
Copy !req
4. One forty-nine, please.
Copy !req
5. - How much is the milk?
- Forty-nine pence.
Copy !req
6. - Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
7. One pound, please. Thank you.
Copy !req
8. Uh-uh. Too much.
Much too much butter.
Copy !req
9. I like butter.
Copy !req
10. Denis.
Copy !req
11. Mmm.
Copy !req
12. - Milk's gone up.
- Hm?
Copy !req
13. - 49p a pint.
- Good grief!
Copy !req
14. We'll have to economize.
Copy !req
15. I suppose we could always sell the car.
Copy !req
16. - Or take in paying guests.
Copy !req
17. Watch out. She's on the prowl.
Copy !req
18. Eat your egg.
Copy !req
19. - Goodness! There you are.
- Yes. Here we are.
Copy !req
20. How did this happen?
How could she possibly have got out?
Copy !req
21. It's very, very important
that the front door is left locked.
Copy !req
22. - Of course.
- Please, make it clear
Copy !req
23. - to whoever's on after you.
- Dixon.
Copy !req
24. I'm afraid I'm going to have
to phone the station about this.
Copy !req
25. - Anything could have happened.
- I understand.
Copy !req
26. Maria, she's starting to clear
her husband's cupboard, so...
Copy !req
27. - Mm-hm.
- I may need your help.
Copy !req
28. Can you bring up any cases
that you can find in the basement?
Copy !req
29. Of course.
Copy !req
30. Mm!
Copy !req
31. Beautiful day.
Copy !req
32. - Mm...
- Oh, you've made a start.
Copy !req
33. Carol's coming soon,
I'll get some bags.
Copy !req
34. Anything you want to go to Mark,
I'll bring up a suitcase for it.
Copy !req
35. Uh-uh.
Copy !req
36. No, no, no, no. The grey.
Copy !req
37. - You sure?
- Mm...
Copy !req
38. Definitely the grey.
Copy !req
39. Righty oh. Boss knows best.
Copy !req
40. Don't let her take
my paper away.
Copy !req
41. Oh, I haven't had a chance
to look at that yet, dear.
Copy !req
42. Sorry.
Copy !req
43. Atta girl.
Copy !req
44. Ah! Damn!
Copy !req
45. - Damn it.
- Blot it.
Copy !req
46. - Blot it.
- Pardon?
Copy !req
47. You're supposed to be looking after her.
Copy !req
48. Now look what you've done.
Copy !req
49. Are they to keep
the loonies out or you in?
Copy !req
50. Hm...
Copy !req
51. I'll be off then.
Copy !req
52. Wear your scarf.
There is a chill out there.
Copy !req
53. Good morning, Lady Thatcher.
Are you all right?
Copy !req
54. - How are you feeling?
- I'm fine, thank you, Susie.
Copy !req
55. I've just been reading
about the bombings.
Copy !req
56. - Of course. Frightful.
Copy !req
57. - Sorry.
Copy !req
58. These are the books for you to sign.
Copy !req
59. I brought as many as I could find.
Copy !req
60. Shall we go through your appointments?
Copy !req
61. We said we'd go through them today.
Copy !req
62. Yes. Of course, dear. Today.
Copy !req
63. The invitation has come
from Downing Street
Copy !req
64. for the unveiling of your portrait.
I'll put that on the mantelpiece,
Copy !req
65. and there's an invitation
from Lord Armstrong
Copy !req
66. for lunch on the first Friday
of next month.
Copy !req
67. I said no, because you have
a concert that afternoon,
Copy !req
68. but if you'd like to...
Copy !req
69. It looks like a very
interesting program.
Copy !req
70. What are they playing?
Copy !req
71. Um, I think they said...
Copy !req
72. Rodgers & Hammerstein.
Copy !req
73. Oh.
Copy !req
74. Oh...
Copy !req
75. - [chuckles, snorts] Silly man.
Copy !req
76. Oh, he hasn't got his scarf on.
Copy !req
77. - [air-raid sirens blaring]
Copy !req
78. - Did someone cover the butter?
- I'll go.
Copy !req
79. - Leave it!
- Margaret.
Copy !req
80. Good girl.
Copy !req
81. Tomorrow, no matter what they do,
it'll be business as usual.
Copy !req
82. Two of the small beef,
Mr. Roberts.
Copy !req
83. What is the life blood
of any community?
Copy !req
84. It's business.
Copy !req
85. Not just big business,
but small businesses, like mine.
Copy !req
86. Margaret! Cups!
Copy !req
87. We on this island are strong.
Copy !req
88. We're self-reliant. Sometimes,
we're plain bloody-minded.
Copy !req
89. But we also believe
in helping each other.
Copy !req
90. And I don't mean by state handouts.
Copy !req
91. Margaret, do you want
to come to the pictures?
Copy !req
92. She's not coming out,
she's got to study.
Copy !req
93. - Miss Hoity-Toity!
Copy !req
94. Never run with the crowd,
Margaret. Go your own way.
Copy !req
95. Go your own way.
Copy !req
96. Never run with the crowd.
Copy !req
97. Open it then.
Copy !req
98. I've got a place at Oxford.
Copy !req
99. Don't let me down, Margaret.
Copy !req
100. Mother!
Copy !req
101. My hands are still damp.
Copy !req
102. "Margaret Roberts."
Copy !req
103. Oh!
Copy !req
104. - Tea.
- Margaret! Cups!
Copy !req
105. They're talking about you again.
Copy !req
106. Wha... What time is it?
Copy !req
107. Sun's not quite over the yardarm.
Copy !req
108. - It's time for tea.
Copy !req
109. - Look, Margaret.
Copy !req
110. What have you got on your head?
Copy !req
111. Found it in the cupboard,
and thought, bugger it,
Copy !req
112. it's Friday, why not fancy dress?
Copy !req
113. - You look ridiculous.
- Boss lady no like?
Copy !req
114. No, Denis, boss lady no like.
Copy !req
115. [woman, hushed] She's made a start,
that's the main thing.
Copy !req
116. No, no, no. It's going fine.
Copy !req
117. But it's taken Carol eight years
to persuade her to let his things go.
Copy !req
118. Feet!
Copy !req
119. Well, it's her pills.
Copy !req
120. You can never be sure she's taking them.
I think sometimes she hides them.
Copy !req
121. Oh, rumbled!
Copy !req
122. They give her about an hour's
clarity, then she slips again.
Copy !req
123. Can I suggest you remove
the sticker from the back of your car?
Copy !req
124. - Sorry. It's always cash...
- Then take the sticker off!
Copy !req
125. I call that false advertising,
wouldn't you?
Copy !req
126. - I've got another...
- I would say keep the change,
Copy !req
127. but there isn't any change.
Copy !req
128. Hello, June. Any news?
Copy !req
129. Look, I brought every single bag
I could find.
Copy !req
130. He gave a speech recently,
trying to come up with a broad base...
Copy !req
131. Hello, Ma.
Copy !req
132. Bloody taxi driver
wouldn't take my card.
Copy !req
133. I said don't have a sticker saying
you take Visa and then insist on cash.
Copy !req
134. Oh! Can you believe it?
Copy !req
135. Rummaging around the bottom of my bag.
He didn't get a tip.
Copy !req
136. I didn't know that you were
dropping by today, dear.
Copy !req
137. Yes, you said yesterday,
we were going to start on Dad's things.
Copy !req
138. The cupboards,
then I was going to help you dress.
Copy !req
139. - You've got Michael and...
- Jacqueline.
Copy !req
140. - Coming for dinner tonight.
- Yes, of course.
Copy !req
141. We're having halibut.
Copy !req
142. This is a major
catastrophe that has struck our capital.
Copy !req
143. - As you can see...
- Isn't it terrible?
Copy !req
144. They think it's al-Qaeda.
Copy !req
145. are trying to get
all the people out of the building.
Copy !req
146. The Prime Minister and his senior staff
were due to be staying at the hotel,
Copy !req
147. - but checked out earlier.
- Denis!
Copy !req
148. It'll be fine.
Come get your head down.
Copy !req
149. - It's ten to three, for God's sake.
- Denis!
Copy !req
150. At ten to three
this morning, an explosion
Copy !req
151. extensively damaged
the Grand Hotel in Brighton...
Copy !req
152. Brighton, scene
of the Conservative Party conference.
Copy !req
153. the Prime Minister and
a number of her Cabinet were staying.
Copy !req
154. They escaped unhurt,
but it's reported that...
Copy !req
155. Five people have died,
Copy !req
156. many others are injured,
some critically.
Copy !req
157. The IRA have claimed
responsibility.
Copy !req
158. We must release a statement,
offering our condolences.
Copy !req
159. I'm sure they've already...
Copy !req
160. We must never, ever, ever
give in to terrorists.
Copy !req
161. Is it warm in here?
Copy !req
162. Now, Ma, are we going long
or just below the knee tonight?
Copy !req
163. Oh, below the knee,
I should think.
Copy !req
164. No! Don't... Don't move those.
Copy !req
165. I haven't finished sorting.
Copy !req
166. I hear you went out today.
Copy !req
167. You mustn't go out on your own,
Mummy. We've talked about that.
Copy !req
168. There was no milk.
Copy !req
169. Call Robert, he'll get it
for you if June's not up.
Copy !req
170. I am not for the knacker's yet.
Copy !req
171. - Now, take it easy, Margaret.
- No one's saying that.
Copy !req
172. If I can't go out to buy a pint of milk,
what is the world coming to?
Copy !req
173. Really, Carol.
Please don't fuss about it.
Copy !req
174. You've always been like this,
fuss, fuss, fuss.
Copy !req
175. You must find something better
to do with your time.
Copy !req
176. It's most unattractive in a woman.
Copy !req
177. When I was your age,
Copy !req
178. the last thing I wanted to do
was fuss around my mother.
Copy !req
179. Four down, nine letters.
Copy !req
180. Something B,
something T, something N...
Copy !req
181. Something, something, something.
Refusal to change course.
Copy !req
182. - Obstinate.
Copy !req
183. - What?
- I knew you'd get it.
Copy !req
184. Ob... I'll wear the pearls.
Copy !req
185. I'll wear the pearls.
Copy !req
186. There they are.
Copy !req
187. My little twins.
Copy !req
188. Thank you, dear.
Copy !req
189. It's nearly all familiar faces:
Copy !req
190. - William, Michael and his lovely wife.
- Jacqueline.
Copy !req
191. And then there's Peter,
James R, James T,
Copy !req
192. and that very nice man
we met last year.
Copy !req
193. - I remember.
- He's bringing his new lady friend,
Copy !req
194. just to mix things up a bit,
because we're rather short of women,
Copy !req
195. but I'm sure we'll manage.
Copy !req
196. I've always preferred
the company of men.
Copy !req
197. - Ma?
Copy !req
198. Ah, Miss Roberts. Hoping to be
chosen as our candidate for Parliament.
Copy !req
199. Well, I don't like coalitions,
I never have.
Copy !req
200. Start on the outside, work your way in.
Copy !req
201. Attlee has his sights set on
the steel industry, you mark my words.
Copy !req
202. They'll be nationalizing
the bloody air next.
Copy !req
203. Yes, hold your breath, sir.
That's government property.
Copy !req
204. Dreadful.
Copy !req
205. Was your father a political man,
too, Miss Roberts?
Copy !req
206. Oh, yes, to his core.
Copy !req
207. And Mayor of Grantham.
Copy !req
208. - And a grocer as well.
- Yes.
Copy !req
209. And did you help... in the...
Copy !req
210. - Oh, yes. It was a family business.
- ... shop?
Copy !req
211. A very good starting point
for the political life, I'm sure.
Copy !req
212. That and a degree from Oxford.
Copy !req
213. No, don't. Whiskey, please.
Copy !req
214. What I do think is
that a man should be encouraged
Copy !req
215. to stand on his own two feet.
Copy !req
216. Yes, we help people.
Of course we help people.
Copy !req
217. But for those that can do,
they must just get up and do.
Copy !req
218. And if something's wrong,
they shouldn't just whine about it,
Copy !req
219. they should get in there and do
something about it, change things.
Copy !req
220. With all due respect, Miss Roberts,
what may have served in Grantham...
Copy !req
221. Can serve very well
for the people of Dartford, too.
Copy !req
222. - Really?
- I know much more than those
Copy !req
223. who have never lived
on a limited income.
Copy !req
224. Just like the man or woman
in the street,
Copy !req
225. when I am short one week,
I have to make economies the next.
Copy !req
226. Nothing like a slice
of fiscal responsibility.
Copy !req
227. A man might call it
fiscal responsibility,
Copy !req
228. a woman
might call it good housekeeping.
Copy !req
229. I'm not sure a home economics lesson
Copy !req
230. is quite what the Dartford
constituents need.
Copy !req
231. They see industry being nationalized,
Copy !req
232. the unions on the up,
the pound on the slide.
Copy !req
233. Whoever can sort that lot out,
he's my man.
Copy !req
234. - Or woman?
Copy !req
235. Ladies, shall we?
Copy !req
236. Miss Roberts, do join the ladies.
Copy !req
237. Well. That's told us!
Copy !req
238. So, Margaret, how would you have dealt
with this if you'd been Prime Minister?
Copy !req
239. Where?
Copy !req
240. The bombings, Mummy.
Copy !req
241. Today.
Copy !req
242. We were just talking about them.
Copy !req
243. No... yes.
Copy !req
244. We have always lived alongside evil.
Copy !req
245. But it has never been so patient,
Copy !req
246. so avid for carnage,
Copy !req
247. so eager to carry innocents
along with it into oblivion.
Copy !req
248. Hear, hear.
Copy !req
249. Western civilization
must root out this evil,
Copy !req
250. wherever it hides, or she risks defeat
Copy !req
251. at the hands of global terror
in a nuclear age. Unimaginable.
Copy !req
252. The Prime Minister made a very
good statement, I thought.
Copy !req
253. Yes. Clever man.
Quite a smoothie.
Copy !req
254. Miss Thatcher, it's been such
a pleasure to meet you.
Copy !req
255. - You don't mind if I sit down.
- No, no.
Copy !req
256. I heard you speak at the conference
in Brighton in 1984,
Copy !req
257. just after the IRA
bombed the Grand Hotel.
Copy !req
258. You were remarkable.
Copy !req
259. I hope you appreciate
what an inspiration you've been
Copy !req
260. to women like myself.
Copy !req
261. Well, it used to be
about trying to do something.
Copy !req
262. You see. Now, it's about
trying to be someone.
Copy !req
263. - Mm. Anyway, I... thank you.
Copy !req
264. - Good night, Lady Thatcher.
- Good night to you.
Copy !req
265. I am so pleased to see
your mother looking so well.
Copy !req
266. - Yes, doesn't she.
- She certainly does.
Copy !req
267. William, great to see you,
thank you so much for coming.
Copy !req
268. Thank you.
It was lovely, absolutely lovely.
Copy !req
269. - Can I call you a taxi?
- No, no...
Copy !req
270. OK, hold on to me, that's right.
Copy !req
271. Ah.
Copy !req
272. Better.
Copy !req
273. Do the clasp. I can't quite...
Copy !req
274. - OK.
Copy !req
275. Yes.
Copy !req
276. - Oh, you have an eyelash.
- Oh?
Copy !req
277. - Make a wish.
Copy !req
278. Oh, I spoke to Dr. Michael today.
Copy !req
279. He's very good. Very expensive.
Copy !req
280. I know you're not due
to see him for another month,
Copy !req
281. but I've spoken to him
and he can fit you in tomorrow.
Copy !req
282. Just for a checkup.
Copy !req
283. Ma, please.
Copy !req
284. What does Mark think about it?
Copy !req
285. - Mark?
- Mm.
Copy !req
286. Tell him to come up.
I want to talk to him about this.
Copy !req
287. Mark's with Sarah and the children.
Copy !req
288. Well, tell him to come up and see me
after he's kissed them good night,
Copy !req
289. would you, Carol, darling?
Copy !req
290. He's not here, Mummy.
Copy !req
291. Mark lives in South Africa.
Copy !req
292. And you're not Prime Minister anymore.
Copy !req
293. And Dad is, uh...
Copy !req
294. Dad is dead.
Copy !req
295. You look exhausted, dear.
Copy !req
296. You really must try
to get some sleep.
Copy !req
297. Taxis will be few and far
between at this hour.
Copy !req
298. Righty oh. Night-night, Ma.
Sleep well.
Copy !req
299. Good night, dear.
Copy !req
300. Twenty-four-year-old
Miss Margaret Roberts lost her bid
Copy !req
301. to win a seat in Parliament today,
but she has put new life
Copy !req
302. into the Dartford
Conservative Association.
Copy !req
303. Winning candidate, Mr. Dodds,
had better watch out.
Copy !req
304. This bright young woman is on his tail.
Copy !req
305. - Eat.
- Oh. Disaster.
Copy !req
306. Hang on. Hang on.
Copy !req
307. Hang on.
Copy !req
308. You shaved thousands off their
majority. You did splendidly.
Copy !req
309. Not splendidly enough.
Copy !req
310. Ah, I see. Self-pity.
Copy !req
311. No one's saying
you don't need a safe seat.
Copy !req
312. You deserve a safe seat.
Copy !req
313. But it does not come unless
you learn to play the game a little.
Copy !req
314. - What game?
- You're a grocer's daughter.
Copy !req
315. - And proud of being...
- And in their eyes...
Copy !req
316. a single grocer's daughter.
Copy !req
317. But if you were to become the wife
of a moderately successful businessman,
Copy !req
318. then you'd get to Parliament.
Copy !req
319. And I'd get to be the happiest man in...
Copy !req
320. wherever they select you.
Copy !req
321. Margaret, will you marry me?
Copy !req
322. Well?
Copy !req
323. Yes.
Copy !req
324. Yes!
Copy !req
325. - Oh...
- What?
Copy !req
326. I love you so much, but...
Copy !req
327. I will never be one
of those women, Denis,
Copy !req
328. who stays silent and pretty
on the arm of her husband.
Copy !req
329. Or remote and alone in the kitchen,
doing the washing-up, for that matter.
Copy !req
330. We'll get a help for that.
Copy !req
331. No. One's life must matter, Denis.
Copy !req
332. Beyond all the cooking
and the cleaning and the children,
Copy !req
333. one's life must mean more than that.
Copy !req
334. I cannot die washing up a tea cup.
Copy !req
335. I mean it, Denis.
Copy !req
336. Say you understand.
Copy !req
337. That's why I want to marry you, my dear.
Copy !req
338. Oh.
Copy !req
339. Now eat.
Copy !req
340. Oh!
Copy !req
341. Oh...
Copy !req
342. There we go.
Copy !req
343. There they are, my little twins.
Copy !req
344. Oh... Mark.
Copy !req
345. Cornwall, wasn't it?
Copy !req
346. Bloody hell.
Copy !req
347. Look at 'em, little imps.
Copy !req
348. You never really got golf,
did you?
Copy !req
349. You look happy.
Copy !req
350. Yes, I do, don't I?
Copy !req
351. You're drinking too much.
Copy !req
352. Whatcha doing?
Not like you, looking back.
Copy !req
353. Don't want to dig around too deep, M,
don't know what you might find.
Copy !req
354. You can rewind it,
but you can't change it.
Copy !req
355. They grow up
so fast, don't they?
Copy !req
356. Mark.
Copy !req
357. Oh...
Copy !req
358. Mr. Eric Deakins,
Copy !req
359. Labor, 13,437.
Copy !req
360. Mr. Ivan Spence, Liberal,
Copy !req
361. 12,260.
Copy !req
362. - We won!
Copy !req
363. Mrs. Margaret Thatcher,
Conservative,
Copy !req
364. 29,697.
Copy !req
365. I can now announce the new
Member of Parliament for Finchley,
Copy !req
366. - 1959...
- Come along, please!
Copy !req
367. Mrs. Margaret Thatcher.
Copy !req
368. Please!
Copy !req
369. Mummy, don't go!
Copy !req
370. You promised! Hey! Mummy!
Copy !req
371. Wait, Mummy!
Copy !req
372. Please don't go!
Copy !req
373. No.
Copy !req
374. - Oh!
Copy !req
375. Mrs. Thatcher.
Copy !req
376. Excuse me. Sorry.
Copy !req
377. Mrs. Thatcher, Airey Neave.
Copy !req
378. Welcome to the madhouse.
Follow me.
Copy !req
379. The Honorable Lady,
the Member of Parliament for Finchley!
Copy !req
380. Order! Order!
Copy !req
381. The Right Honorable Lady,
the Secretary of State for Education.
Copy !req
382. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Copy !req
383. The Right Honorable Gentleman
knows very well that we had no choice
Copy !req
384. - but to close the schools.
Copy !req
385. - Shame!
- Disgrace!
Copy !req
386. Because his union paymasters
Copy !req
387. have called a strike deliberately
to cripple our economy.
Copy !req
388. - Rubbish!
- Teachers cannot teach
Copy !req
389. when there is no heating,
no lighting in their classrooms.
Copy !req
390. And I ask the Right Honorable
Gentleman, whose fault is that?
Copy !req
391. Yours!
Copy !req
392. Methinks the Right Honorable
Lady doth screech too much.
Copy !req
393. And if she wants us
to take her seriously,
Copy !req
394. she must learn to calm down!
Copy !req
395. - Very good!
- If the Right Honorable Gentleman
Copy !req
396. could perhaps attend more closely
to what I am saying,
Copy !req
397. rather than how I am saying it,
Copy !req
398. he may receive a valuable
education in spite of himself!
Copy !req
399. Why has... Why has this
Conservative government failed?
Copy !req
400. - It hasn't failed.
Copy !req
401. Why has it forced
so many in the public sector
Copy !req
402. into taking strike action
to save their own jobs?
Copy !req
403. Minister, the breakdown
in essential public services,
Copy !req
404. in transport, in electricity,
in sanitation,
Copy !req
405. is not the fault of the trade unions.
Copy !req
406. It's entirely the fault
of the trade unions.
Copy !req
407. But of this Conservative government
Copy !req
408. in which you so shamefully serve!
Copy !req
409. These power cuts will continue
unless we can reach a compromise.
Copy !req
410. The miners are asking
for a 35 percent increase in wages.
Copy !req
411. Obviously, we can't
go anywhere near that.
Copy !req
412. The unions are not our enemies
and never have been.
Copy !req
413. We want, and have always wanted,
the broadest consensus.
Copy !req
414. - Hear, hear.
- I'm sure we are all in agreement
Copy !req
415. that we must do nothing for the moment
Copy !req
416. that will further inflame
the current situation.
Copy !req
417. - Hear, hear, Prime Minister.
- The fact of the matter is,
Copy !req
418. it's absolutely crucial
that we are seen by the public
Copy !req
419. to be acting as conciliators
and not aggressors.
Copy !req
420. Hear, hear.
Copy !req
421. - Yes, Education Secretary.
- Yes, Prime Minister.
Copy !req
422. With the miners' union leader today
Copy !req
423. calling for the army to mutiny
in support of the strikes,
Copy !req
424. this seems the wrong time
for conciliation.
Copy !req
425. - Be patient.
Copy !req
426. They'll come back on
again in a moment.
Copy !req
427. - Anybody got a shilling?
- Ah, Boy Scout.
Copy !req
428. Be prepared.
Copy !req
429. Thank you, Margaret.
Copy !req
430. Oh! It lives.
Copy !req
431. Your thoughts are duly noted.
Copy !req
432. Compromise,
compromise, compromise...
Copy !req
433. We on this island are strong.
Copy !req
434. We're self-reliant.
Copy !req
435. Napoleon called us a nation
of shopkeepers.
Copy !req
436. He meant it as an insult,
but to me it's a compliment.
Copy !req
437. That's why he couldn't beat us,
that's why Hitler can't beat us.
Copy !req
438. We Conservatives believe
in giving people the freedom
Copy !req
439. and opportunity to fulfill their own
potential, especially the young.
Copy !req
440. There's no good in pretending we're
all equal, we're not all the same,
Copy !req
441. never have been, never will be.
Copy !req
442. We should encourage our children
to aspire to achieve more than we have,
Copy !req
443. for our children today
will be the leaders of tomorrow.
Copy !req
444. It's 1974,
you'd think it was World War II.
Copy !req
445. Blackouts, no petrol. It's a mess.
Copy !req
446. Heath should resign now and make way
Copy !req
447. for someone who's not afraid
to tackle the unions.
Copy !req
448. I swear, it's all gone
completely out of my head.
Copy !req
449. My driving instructor says
I should pass, but I feel
Copy !req
450. as if I've hardly had any lessons.
Which is ridiculous, isn't it?
Copy !req
451. - Maybe third time lucky.
- Right.
Copy !req
452. The only thing you should
remember is that everyone else
Copy !req
453. is either reckless or inept.
Usually both.
Copy !req
454. One must be brave if one
is to take the wheel.
Copy !req
455. - Right oh.
- Right, move.
Copy !req
456. Move to your right a little bit.
Copy !req
457. But if I move to the right, aren't
I on the wrong side of the road?
Copy !req
458. - Carol!
- Well, he's in the way!
Copy !req
459. - To the right. Move to the right!
Copy !req
460. - Hey! Look out!
Copy !req
461. So sorry! Terribly sorry!
Copy !req
462. Hey, look at me, driving!
Copy !req
463. Thanks, Ma, that was terrific!
Copy !req
464. I really feel like I've got
a handle on it now.
Copy !req
465. You should have seen us, Pa.
Copy !req
466. Are you trying to cook
your own breakfast?
Copy !req
467. - Denis!
- I can boil a bloody egg.
Copy !req
468. Mummy took me for a test drive.
Copy !req
469. We went absolutely everywhere.
All over the place.
Copy !req
470. - Yeah?
- I've decided. I'm going to run.
Copy !req
471. What for?
Copy !req
472. I'm going to run
for Leader of the Party.
Copy !req
473. - Silly me!
- Good luck!
Copy !req
474. All the time I thought
I was having a driving lesson,
Copy !req
475. it was all about my mother,
just for a change!
Copy !req
476. - What's she on about?
- Her driving test this morning!
Copy !req
477. - Oh, right. Of course.
- Are you saying you want
Copy !req
478. to be Prime Minister?
Copy !req
479. Oh! What I'm saying is that
someone must force the point,
Copy !req
480. someone must say the un-sayable.
Copy !req
481. None of these men have the guts.
Copy !req
482. - The Prime Minister has been
Copy !req
483. very loyal to you, MT.
Copy !req
484. But he's weak,
and he's weakened the party.
Copy !req
485. One must know when to go.
Copy !req
486. You're shaking. Here, let me...
Copy !req
487. I can do it!
Copy !req
488. Goodness me!
Copy !req
489. What is the matter
with everyone this morning?
Copy !req
490. I've told you what the matter is.
Copy !req
491. The business is a bit rocky
at the moment
Copy !req
492. and the doctor says I need a rest.
Copy !req
493. Do you need a rest?
Copy !req
494. Oh, God.
Copy !req
495. We both know it's highly unlikely
Copy !req
496. that I would ever be elected leader.
Copy !req
497. I'll never be elected leader.
But I will run. I will run.
Copy !req
498. Just to nip at their heels and make them
reaffirm the principles on which
Copy !req
499. - the Conservative Party must stand.
Copy !req
500. There's so much to do.
Copy !req
501. You're insufferable,
Margaret, do you know that?
Copy !req
502. Denis, you married someone
Copy !req
503. who is committed to public service,
you knew that.
Copy !req
504. - And it is my duty...
- Don't call it duty.
Copy !req
505. It's ambition that's gotten
you this far. Ambition.
Copy !req
506. And the rest of us, me, the children,
we can all go to hell!
Copy !req
507. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine!
Copy !req
508. Where did you go?
Copy !req
509. - South Africa.
- Yes.
Copy !req
510. How many days passed
before you realized I'd gone?
Copy !req
511. Probably had to ask
the cleaning woman where I was.
Copy !req
512. When did I lose track of everyone?
Copy !req
513. - Too busy climbing the greasy pole, MT.
- How did I...?
Copy !req
514. Mrs. Thatcher,
I understand you recently visited
Copy !req
515. - the United States of America.
- Oh, oh...
Copy !req
516. What is it you took away
from your visit which may be of value,
Copy !req
517. - here in Great Britain?
- That's rather easy to answer.
Copy !req
518. They are unafraid of success.
Copy !req
519. We in Great Britain and in Europe
Copy !req
520. are formed mostly by our history.
Copy !req
521. They, on the other hand,
are formed by their philosophy.
Copy !req
522. Not by what has been,
but by what can be.
Copy !req
523. Oh, we have a great deal that
we can learn from them, yes.
Copy !req
524. Oh, yes!
Copy !req
525. Well...
Copy !req
526. Uh...
Copy !req
527. For a start, that hat has got to go.
Copy !req
528. And the pearls.
Copy !req
529. In fact,
I think all hats may have to go.
Copy !req
530. You look and sound like
a privileged Conservative wife,
Copy !req
531. and we've already got her vote.
Copy !req
532. You've got lovely hair,
but we need to do something
Copy !req
533. with it, to make it more...
Copy !req
534. - Important.
- Yes. Give it more impact.
Copy !req
535. But the main thing is your voice.
Copy !req
536. It's too high,
and it has no authority.
Copy !req
537. Methinks the lady
doth screech too much.
Copy !req
538. People don't want to be harangued
by a woman or hectored.
Copy !req
539. Persuaded, yes. That "Oh, yes,"
at the end of the interview,
Copy !req
540. that's authoritative,
that's the voice of a leader.
Copy !req
541. Quite.
Copy !req
542. It's all very well to talk
about changing my voice, Mr. Reece,
Copy !req
543. but for some of my colleagues to imagine
me as their leader...
Copy !req
544. would be like imagining,
I don't know,
Copy !req
545. being led into battle
by their chambermaid.
Copy !req
546. It's my background and my sex.
Copy !req
547. No matter how I've tried,
and I have tried, to fit in,
Copy !req
548. I know I will never be
truly one of them.
Copy !req
549. If I may say so, I think
that's your trump card.
Copy !req
550. You're flying in the face of everything
the Tories have been thus far.
Copy !req
551. It's really terribly exciting.
Copy !req
552. One simply has
to maximize your appeal,
Copy !req
553. bring out all your qualities,
Copy !req
554. and make you look, and sound,
like the leader that you could be.
Copy !req
555. You've got it in you
to go the whole distance.
Copy !req
556. Absolutely.
Copy !req
557. What... Prime Minister?
Copy !req
558. Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no.
Copy !req
559. In Britain?
Copy !req
560. There will be no
female Prime Minister here,
Copy !req
561. not in my lifetime. No.
Copy !req
562. And I told Airey, I don't
expect to win the leadership,
Copy !req
563. but I am going to run,
just to shake up the party.
Copy !req
564. Respectfully, Margaret, I disagree.
Copy !req
565. If you want to change this party,
lead it.
Copy !req
566. If you want to change
the country, lead it.
Copy !req
567. What we're talking
about here today is surface.
Copy !req
568. What's crucial is
that you hold your course,
Copy !req
569. and stay true to who you are.
Copy !req
570. Never be anything
other than yourself.
Copy !req
571. Leave us to do the rest.
Copy !req
572. Gentlemen, I am in your hands.
Copy !req
573. I may be persuaded
to surrender the hat.
Copy !req
574. But the pearls were a gift from my
husband on the birth of our twins,
Copy !req
575. and, um,
Copy !req
576. they are absolutely non-negotiable.
Copy !req
577. And...
Copy !req
578. Good, I think we can lose
the handbag, Mrs. Thatcher. Yes?
Copy !req
579. And hands down by side.
Copy !req
580. - Right up.
Copy !req
581. Because this isn't about the voice,
it's about belief.
Copy !req
582. The very core. So a nice deep breath
and really fill out against my hands.
Copy !req
583. You're calling Mr. Thatcher,
how would you do that?
Copy !req
584. - Denis.
- Yes, I want authority.
Copy !req
585. - I want conviction, I want...
- Denis.
Copy !req
586. That's right, one more time,
and breathing in. And...
Copy !req
587. Denis.
Copy !req
588. - Yes, M!
- Sorry. No, no, no.
Copy !req
589. You are the backbone
of our nation!
Copy !req
590. Small firms like
Loveday's Ice Cream.
Copy !req
591. - So nice to meet you, ladies.
- Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
592. I'll just have a small one,
because I'm watching my figure.
Copy !req
593. Whoo! That's for you, young man!
Copy !req
594. I passionately
believe that it's the growth
Copy !req
595. of small businesses
into larger ones
Copy !req
596. that is critical for Britain's future.
Copy !req
597. Well, it has to be something icy
on a stick for Denis.
Copy !req
598. That's the only way
that we will produce jobs,
Copy !req
599. real jobs, jobs that sustain.
Copy !req
600. The Trade Union Movement
was founded to protect workers.
Copy !req
601. Now it persecutes them.
It stops them from working.
Copy !req
602. It is killing jobs and it is bringing
this country to its knees.
Copy !req
603. I say enough.
It's time to get up.
Copy !req
604. It's time to go to work.
Copy !req
605. It's time to put the "Great"
back into Great Britain!
Copy !req
606. The incompetence
of the Labor government...
Copy !req
607. - ... continue to misinform
Copy !req
608. and spend in this incessant
and blasé manner.
Copy !req
609. - We have paid the price...
- Mrs. Thatcher, they're ready for you.
Copy !req
610. - Thank you.
- Give 'em hell.
Copy !req
611. - You look magnificent.
Copy !req
612. Next stop, Prime Minister.
Copy !req
613. - Oh, Airey...
- Let's go.
Copy !req
614. The new leader
of the Conservative Party,
Copy !req
615. - Margaret Thatcher!
- [cheering, whistling]
Copy !req
616. Hm...
Copy !req
617. - Good night, Margaret.
- Oh...
Copy !req
618. My money's on the filly to win.
Copy !req
619. Oh...
Thanks, Airey. Good night.
Copy !req
620. No!
Copy !req
621. No, no! No! Airey!
Copy !req
622. Airey!
Copy !req
623. The Irish National
Liberation Army has claimed
Copy !req
624. responsibility
for the death of MP Airey Neave,
Copy !req
625. Margaret Thatcher's spokesman
on Northern Ireland.
Copy !req
626. If you want
to change the party, lead it.
Copy !req
627. If you want to change
the country, lead it.
Copy !req
628. You've got it in you
to go the whole distance.
Copy !req
629. - [up-tempo music plays]
- Now, as the test draws near,
Copy !req
630. - I ask your help.
Copy !req
631. That together we can shake off
the shackles of Socialism
Copy !req
632. and restore to greatness this
country that we love...
Copy !req
633. And the only way is
for the Conservative Party to win!
Copy !req
634. Is she gonna get there?
Watch those blocks rise...
Copy !req
635. Go, Maggie!
Copy !req
636. It's Friday the 4th
of May, an historic day for Britain,
Copy !req
637. a Conservative government
led by Mrs. Thatcher is set to lead...
Copy !req
638. Mrs. Bandaranaike
in Sri Lanka, Mrs. Gandhi in India,
Copy !req
639. but never in the West has there
ever been a woman Prime Minister.
Copy !req
640. The place that she has
now secured in British history,
Copy !req
641. as the first woman ever to be
invited to form a government.
Copy !req
642. The bonus of one of the most
famous addresses in the world,
Copy !req
643. Number 10 Downing Street.
Copy !req
644. This is it.
Steady the buffs, old girl.
Copy !req
645. - Good afternoon.
- Congratulations, Prime Minister.
Copy !req
646. - I should just like to say
Copy !req
647. that I take very seriously
the trust placed in me
Copy !req
648. by the British people today,
and I will work hard every day
Copy !req
649. to live up to that responsibility.
Copy !req
650. And now, I should like to share with you
Copy !req
651. a prayer of St. Francis of Assisi.
Copy !req
652. Where there is discord,
may we bring harmony.
Copy !req
653. Where there is error,
may we bring truth.
Copy !req
654. Where there is doubt,
may we bring faith.
Copy !req
655. And where there is despair,
may we bring hope.
Copy !req
656. - Shoulders back, tummies in!
Copy !req
657. - Thank you, Michael.
Copy !req
658. - Look this way, please.
Copy !req
659. Three, two, one.
Copy !req
660. Robert, could you bring the car
around? She's been ready for ages.
Copy !req
661. I am perfectly healthy.
Copy !req
662. No need for any of this.
Copy !req
663. Just let them look
under the bonnet, MT.
Copy !req
664. Make sure everything is hunky dory.
Copy !req
665. Oh, really, this is
becoming quite tiresome.
Copy !req
666. - What is?
- You.
Copy !req
667. I was on my own
for 24 years before I met you,
Copy !req
668. and I can manage perfectly well
without you now.
Copy !req
669. So will you please go away,
Copy !req
670. and stop bothering me?
Copy !req
671. Just look straight ahead,
straight at me, that's it.
Copy !req
672. - Are you noticing night sweats?
- No.
Copy !req
673. - Hallucinations?
- No.
Copy !req
674. - Sleep?
- Yes. I sleep.
Copy !req
675. Four, five hours a night.
Copy !req
676. So you wake early?
Copy !req
677. And I stay up late. I always have.
Copy !req
678. We just want to keep
abreast of it, that's all.
Copy !req
679. Yes. Of course.
Copy !req
680. Grief is a very natural state.
Copy !req
681. My husband has
been gone for years.
Copy !req
682. Cancer.
Copy !req
683. Carol says you've decided to let his
things go. Probably a good thing.
Copy !req
684. Yes. It was my idea. To Oxfam.
Copy !req
685. Perfectly good stuff.
People can use these things.
Copy !req
686. Hm...
Copy !req
687. Still, it must be a bit disorientating.
Copy !req
688. - You are bound to be feeling...
- What?
Copy !req
689. What am I "bound to be feeling"?
Copy !req
690. People don't think anymore.
They feel.
Copy !req
691. "How are you feeling?"
"Oh, I don't feel comfortable."
Copy !req
692. "Oh, I'm so sorry,
we, the group, we're feeling..."
Copy !req
693. Do you know,
one of the great problems of our age
Copy !req
694. is that we are governed by people
who care more about feelings
Copy !req
695. than they do about thoughts and ideas?
Copy !req
696. Now, thoughts and ideas,
that interests me.
Copy !req
697. Ask me what I am thinking.
Copy !req
698. What are you thinking, Margaret?
Copy !req
699. Watch your thoughts,
for they become words.
Copy !req
700. Watch your words,
for they become actions.
Copy !req
701. Watch your actions,
for they become habits.
Copy !req
702. Watch your habits,
for they become your character.
Copy !req
703. And watch your character,
for it becomes your destiny.
Copy !req
704. What we think, we become.
Copy !req
705. My father always said that.
Copy !req
706. And I think I am fine.
Copy !req
707. But I do so appreciate
your kind concern.
Copy !req
708. Oh, do please answer that.
Copy !req
709. It might be someone
who needs you.
Copy !req
710. I'll give Carol a quick ring,
let her know we're back,
Copy !req
711. and then I'll put your
electric blanket on.
Copy !req
712. Steady, steady, steady!
Copy !req
713. Damn. Fore!
Copy !req
714. What about that medicine man, eh?
Copy !req
715. Ah. Cold supper.
Copy !req
716. Standards are slipping, Margaret.
Copy !req
717. You really gave it to that
quack, didn't you, darling?
Copy !req
718. Just like the old days.
Hallucinations, my eye!
Copy !req
719. How dare he? But then, you give us
all the runaround, don't you?
Copy !req
720. I know you can hear me, sweetheart,
so there's no use pretending you can't.
Copy !req
721. Enough. Denis, enough!
Copy !req
722. Dismissed!
Copy !req
723. She does it in the end. Kills him.
Copy !req
724. I don't know why you're
being so scratchy.
Copy !req
725. It's not as if you've
got anyone else to talk to.
Copy !req
726. "When the Himalayan peasant
meets the he-bear in his pride..."
Copy !req
727. It's a marvel to me that you can still
quote whole chunks of Kipling,
Copy !req
728. but try remembering the name
of that woman who just made you
Copy !req
729. that god-awful cold collation.
Copy !req
730. No? Come on, you can do it.
Copy !req
731. Month of the year.
Copy !req
732. One syllable.
Copy !req
733. Rhymes with moon.
Copy !req
734. - June.
- June! Bingo!
Copy !req
735. Knew you'd get there in the end.
Copy !req
736. "When the Himalayan peasant
meets the he-bear in his pride,
Copy !req
737. he shouts to scare the monster,
who will often turn aside."
Copy !req
738. - "But the she-bear, thus accosted,
Copy !req
739. rends the peasant tooth and nail,
Copy !req
740. for the female of the species
is more deadly than the male."
Copy !req
741. - "When Nag, the basking cobra,
Copy !req
742. hears the careless foot of man..."
Copy !req
743. If I can't hear you, I can't see you.
Copy !req
744. If I can't see you, you're not here.
Copy !req
745. And if you're not here,
I'm not going mad.
Copy !req
746. I will not go mad.
Copy !req
747. I won't go mad...
I will not go mad...
Copy !req
748. I will not go mad. I will not.
Copy !req
749. Baroness Thatcher made
an apparently routine visit
Copy !req
750. to her doctors today.
Copy !req
751. Although rarely seen in public,
Copy !req
752. Britain's longest-serving
Prime Minister of the twentieth century,
Copy !req
753. remains a controversial figure.
Copy !req
754. Almost lovingly dubbed
by the Soviets "The Iron Lady,"
Copy !req
755. she is credited,
with her friend Ronald Reagan,
Copy !req
756. with a decisive role
in the ending of the Cold War.
Copy !req
757. - Margaret...
- Her supporters claim she transformed
Copy !req
758. the British economy and reversed
the country's post-war decline.
Copy !req
759. - I am so sorry.
- Her detractors blame
Copy !req
760. her savage public spending cuts
and sweeping privatization of...
Copy !req
761. - I... don't recognize myself.
Copy !req
762. Hm...
Copy !req
763. Am I out of the doghouse yet?
Copy !req
764. Oh. They're unveiling
that portrait of me
Copy !req
765. at Number 10 next month.
Copy !req
766. Mm.
Copy !req
767. Yes, it's... the invitation,
it's on the mantelpiece.
Copy !req
768. So it'll be Churchill,
Copy !req
769. Lloyd George and me.
Copy !req
770. - Just the three of us.
Copy !req
771. I said I didn't want any big fuss...
Copy !req
772. - No.
- ... but they insisted.
Copy !req
773. Lovely little article in The Telegraph.
Copy !req
774. "The Woman Who Changed
the Face of History."
Copy !req
775. Huh...
Copy !req
776. Less than two years ago,
Copy !req
777. the Prime Minister quoted St. Francis...
Copy !req
778. Yes, and talked about bringing faith,
Copy !req
779. - hope, and harmony to this country.
Copy !req
780. Mm... Denis?
Copy !req
781. Can the Right Honorable Lady deny
Copy !req
782. that having brought about the highest
level of unemployment since 1934...
Copy !req
783. - ... the biggest fall in total output
Copy !req
784. in steel and coal production
in one year since 1931 ...
Copy !req
785. and the biggest collapse
in industrial production since 1921?
Copy !req
786. - Order! Order!
Copy !req
787. Can she also accept
that her free-market economics,
Copy !req
788. designed to create
a growing middle class,
Copy !req
789. ensures that the rich get richer
and the poor are irrelevant?
Copy !req
790. Out! Out! Out!
Maggie! Maggie! Maggie!
Copy !req
791. - Out! Out! Out!
- Look at me!
Copy !req
792. Look at me!
You're supposed to be a mother!
Copy !req
793. You're not a mother,
you're a monster!
Copy !req
794. You're a monster!
Copy !req
795. May we have a word,
Prime Minister?
Copy !req
796. Yes, but in order
to arrive at the palace on time,
Copy !req
797. Geoffrey and I are will be walking out
of that door in 15 minutes.
Copy !req
798. - As you can see...
- I know you're running late, Margaret,
Copy !req
799. but we have to address
this situation
Copy !req
800. in the light of tomorrow's
blistering press coverage.
Copy !req
801. Blistering! The knives are out.
Copy !req
802. Your draft budget has
been leaked, Geoffrey.
Copy !req
803. They are baying for our blood.
Copy !req
804. Michael, we can't possibly buckle
at the first sign of difficulty.
Copy !req
805. - No one is saying we have to buckle.
- But is this really the time
Copy !req
806. to be making these spending cuts
Copy !req
807. in the middle of one
of the deepest recessions
Copy !req
808. this country has ever experienced?
Copy !req
809. - We need a plan of action, Margaret.
- Absolutely. A strategy.
Copy !req
810. - We must be armed.
- Agreed.
Copy !req
811. There's a perception, Margaret,
rightly or wrongly,
Copy !req
812. that we are now completely
out of touch with the country.
Copy !req
813. Really.
How much is a pack of Lurpak?
Copy !req
814. - Lurpak?
- Butter, Francis.
Copy !req
815. Forty-two pence.
Anchor butter is 40 pence.
Copy !req
816. Flora margarine,
still the cheapest, at 38p.
Copy !req
817. I can assure you
I am not out of touch.
Copy !req
818. - Sorry. I didn't hear you.
Copy !req
819. - What did you say?
- Nothing, Prime Minister. Nothing.
Copy !req
820. No, no, please.
Don't try to hide you opinions.
Copy !req
821. Goodness me, I'd much rather you were
open and straightforward about them,
Copy !req
822. instead of continuously and damagingly
leaking them to the press.
Copy !req
823. Well?
Copy !req
824. - Well...
- People can't pay their mortgages.
Copy !req
825. The manufacturing industry
is practically on its knees.
Copy !req
826. Honest, hard-working, decent
people are losing their homes.
Copy !req
827. - It's terribly shameful.
- The point is, Prime Minister,
Copy !req
828. we must moderate the pace...
Copy !req
829. If we even have a hope
of winning the next election.
Copy !req
830. Ah. Worried about our careers, are we?
Copy !req
831. - Really.
- That's quite absurd.
Copy !req
832. Gentlemen, if we don't cut
spending, we will be bankrupt.
Copy !req
833. Yes, the medicine is harsh,
Copy !req
834. but the patient requires it
in order to live.
Copy !req
835. Should we withhold the medicine?
Copy !req
836. No. We are not wrong.
Copy !req
837. We did not seek election
and win in order to manage
Copy !req
838. the decline of a great nation.
Copy !req
839. The people of this country
chose us because they believe
Copy !req
840. we can restore the health
of the British economy,
Copy !req
841. and we will do just that.
Copy !req
842. Barring a failure of nerve.
Copy !req
843. Anything else?
Copy !req
844. - Prime Minister.
- Prime Minister.
Copy !req
845. You have saved the day once again,
Crawfie. You're an angel.
Copy !req
846. You can't just
close down a conversation
Copy !req
847. because it's not
what you wish to hear.
Copy !req
848. Oh, Geoffrey, I don't expect everyone
to just sit there and agree with me.
Copy !req
849. But what kind of leader am I
if I don't try to get my own way,
Copy !req
850. do what I know to be right?
Copy !req
851. Yes. But, Margaret...
Copy !req
852. one must be careful not to test
one's colleagues' loyalties too far.
Copy !req
853. We are now one split nation,
Copy !req
854. with a huge gulf dividing
the employed from the unemployed.
Copy !req
855. The Thatcher plan is
to break the Trade Union Movement.
Copy !req
856. There must be closures
of uneconomic coal mines.
Copy !req
857. We seek only an efficient industry.
Copy !req
858. The miners are being starved
back to work, the need is desperate!
Copy !req
859. There are those
who would say hold back,
Copy !req
860. there are those
who would make us retreat,
Copy !req
861. but we shall never give in to them.
Copy !req
862. We shall never waver, not for a second,
Copy !req
863. in our determination to see
this country prosper once again.
Copy !req
864. A car bomb has exploded
outside Harrods department store,
Copy !req
865. killing six people and injuring 71.
Copy !req
866. Eleven soldiers died
today when two bombs were detonated
Copy !req
867. during military parades
in Hyde Park and Regent's Park.
Copy !req
868. Seven horses also died in the blast.
Copy !req
869. The IRA have claimed responsibility.
Copy !req
870. And now,
it must be business as usual.
Copy !req
871. Come on, love, come to bed.
Copy !req
872. I don't know why you do this
to yourself every year.
Copy !req
873. It's a speech at conference,
not the Magna Carta.
Copy !req
874. Time to call it a day, darling.
Copy !req
875. It's ten to three, for God's sake.
Copy !req
876. Oh, I know, I'm coming, DT.
Copy !req
877. - Come on...
- Nearly there.
Copy !req
878. Denis!
Copy !req
879. Denis!
Copy !req
880. Oh, there you are.
Are you all right?
Copy !req
881. My shoes!
Copy !req
882. That's
when I thought I'd lost you.
Copy !req
883. Mark?
Copy !req
884. Hello, darling.
Copy !req
885. Oh... No. No, I'm fine.
Copy !req
886. I... I'm very well.
Copy !req
887. How... How is, uh...
Copy !req
888. Sarah?
Copy !req
889. Yes, and the children?
Copy !req
890. Oh.
Copy !req
891. Oh, you can't.
Copy !req
892. That's a pity.
Copy !req
893. Well, I was hoping to see you.
Copy !req
894. Yes. Oh, no, that's fine.
Copy !req
895. Really, darling. That's fine.
Copy !req
896. Of course. Another time.
Copy !req
897. Yes, darling.
Copy !req
898. Yes. I can't wait. Lovely.
Copy !req
899. Yes.
Copy !req
900. Mark?
Copy !req
901. Mm...
Copy !req
902. Oh. Oh, dear.
Copy !req
903. That was Mark.
Copy !req
904. Not able to come.
Copy !req
905. That boy's always going AWOL.
Copy !req
906. Well, it costs him a great deal
to fly everyone up here.
Copy !req
907. There you go, making excuses for him.
Now look where it's got you.
Copy !req
908. Did you know that Yul Brynner
was a gypsy from Vladivostok?
Copy !req
909. Yes. Yes, he moved
to Paris when he was 14.
Copy !req
910. And he played the King of Siam
Copy !req
911. 4,625 times
Copy !req
912. on the London and Broadway stages.
Copy !req
913. - What are you doing?
- One likes to make an effort.
Copy !req
914. - A snifter?
- You're dead, Denis.
Copy !req
915. - Well, if I'm dead, who you talking to?
Copy !req
916. - Shall we dance?
- Oh.
Copy !req
917. Oh!
Copy !req
918. - The Falkland Islands,
Copy !req
919. the British colony
in the South Atlantic, has fallen.
Copy !req
920. Argentina claims its marines
went ashore
Copy !req
921. as a spearhead this morning
to capture key targets,
Copy !req
922. including the capital, Port Stanley.
Copy !req
923. Gentlemen, the Argentinean junta,
which is a fascist gang,
Copy !req
924. has invaded our sovereign territory.
This cannot be tolerated.
Copy !req
925. May I make plain
my negotiating position:
Copy !req
926. I will not negotiate
with criminals or thugs.
Copy !req
927. The Falkland Islands
belong to Britain,
Copy !req
928. and I want them back.
Copy !req
929. Gentlemen, I need you to tell me today
if that is possible.
Copy !req
930. Possible... just, Prime Minister.
Copy !req
931. We can have a task force ready
to sail in 48 hours.
Copy !req
932. - Forty-eight hours. But?
- But...
Copy !req
933. We have a very narrow weather window.
Copy !req
934. We can't fight in winter down there,
nobody can.
Copy !req
935. If we are going, we have to go now.
Copy !req
936. Why were the islands left
without any naval protection?
Copy !req
937. In the last round of defense cuts,
Copy !req
938. we judged the risk of invasion
to be small.
Copy !req
939. - Did we?
- And if you remember, Prime Minister,
Copy !req
940. you agreed that we should reduce
the naval presence in the area
Copy !req
941. to an absolute minimum.
Copy !req
942. Margaret, the cost of sending 28,000 men
and a hundred ships 12,000 miles,
Copy !req
943. almost to Argentina,
will be absolutely crippling.
Copy !req
944. I don't think we should be worrying
about money at this point, Geoffrey.
Copy !req
945. We can't afford to go to war.
Copy !req
946. We have to go now.
Copy !req
947. Now.
Copy !req
948. The government
has now decided
Copy !req
949. that a large task force will sail,
Copy !req
950. as soon as all preparations
are complete.
Copy !req
951. - Prime Minister,
Copy !req
952. we do still have three weeks
before our ships reach the islands.
Copy !req
953. All we're saying is
that we shouldn't give up
Copy !req
954. on trying to find a diplomatic solution.
Copy !req
955. The US Secretary of State
has arrived, Prime Minister.
Copy !req
956. So you are proposing
to go to war over these islands.
Copy !req
957. They are thousands of miles away,
a handful of citizens,
Copy !req
958. politically and economically
insignificant, if you'll excuse me.
Copy !req
959. Just like Hawaii... I imagine.
Copy !req
960. - I'm sorry?
- 1941,
Copy !req
961. when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
Copy !req
962. Did America go, cap in hand,
Copy !req
963. and ask Tojo for a peaceful
negotiation of terms?
Copy !req
964. Did she turn her back
on her own citizens there
Copy !req
965. because the islands were thousands
of miles away
Copy !req
966. from the mainland United States?
Copy !req
967. No! No! No!
Copy !req
968. We will stand on principle,
or we will not stand at all.
Copy !req
969. But, Margaret, with all due respect,
when one has been to war...
Copy !req
970. With all due respect, sir,
Copy !req
971. I have done battle
every single day of my life,
Copy !req
972. and many men have
underestimated me before.
Copy !req
973. This lot seem bound to do the same,
Copy !req
974. but they will rue the day.
Copy !req
975. Now, shall I be mother?
Copy !req
976. Tea, Al, how do you take your tea?
Black or white?
Copy !req
977. The Argentinean ship
the General Belgrano and her escorts
Copy !req
978. are pursuing course 273 degrees
towards the Argentinean mainland.
Copy !req
979. We are tracking them
with our submarine HMS Conqueror.
Copy !req
980. Is this ship a threat?
Copy !req
981. Both of these ships are carrying
Exocet missiles, Prime Minister.
Copy !req
982. Just yesterday,
they launched, then aborted,
Copy !req
983. an attack inside the exclusion zone.
Copy !req
984. There is a risk they could try it again.
Copy !req
985. The Belgrano is sailing
directly away from the islands.
Copy !req
986. Can it really be regarded
as a threat?
Copy !req
987. She's been changing course continually.
Copy !req
988. There's a strong possibility
that they'll attempt a pincer movement
Copy !req
989. on our carrier group.
Copy !req
990. I advise that we engage them.
Copy !req
991. Hit the Belgrano as a warning to the
others, send them all back to port.
Copy !req
992. It'll play badly internationally.
We'll be seen as aggressors.
Copy !req
993. This will be an escalation,
Prime Minister.
Copy !req
994. If there is to be an escalation,
it's better that we start it.
Copy !req
995. It is steaming away, Prime Minister.
Copy !req
996. Sink it.
Copy !req
997. HMS Sheffield,
a Type 42 destroyer,
Copy !req
998. was attacked and hit late this afternoon
by an Argentine missile.
Copy !req
999. It is seen as retaliation
for the sinking of the General Belgrano,
Copy !req
1000. in which over 300
Argentinean sailors died.
Copy !req
1001. Prime Minister. The latest casualty
figures from the Sheffield.
Copy !req
1002. - I must write to them.
Copy !req
1003. Prime Minister?
Copy !req
1004. The families.
Copy !req
1005. I must write to them.
Copy !req
1006. A Type 21 frigate, HMS Ardent,
Copy !req
1007. was hit by bombs and rockets.
Copy !req
1008. Antelope went the way
of the other two British ships
Copy !req
1009. - lost so far...
- Foreign Secretary.
Copy !req
1010. I've just been briefed by Admiral
Fieldhouse. He told me, bluntly,
Copy !req
1011. that if the Argentineans are prepared
and willing to risk their aircraft,
Copy !req
1012. they have enough Exocet missiles
to cripple most of our fleet.
Copy !req
1013. President Reagan and President Belaunde
of Peru have some new proposals...
Copy !req
1014. new proposals for the peace plan.
Copy !req
1015. Peace plan?
There will be no appeasement.
Copy !req
1016. This is a war.
It's a war they started,
Copy !req
1017. but by God, we will finish it.
Copy !req
1018. Shall I tell you
what I'm going to write
Copy !req
1019. to every single one of these families,
these heartbroken families?
Copy !req
1020. I'm going to tell them
Copy !req
1021. that no British soldier will die
in vain... for the Falklands.
Copy !req
1022. Lieutenant Colonel Jones.
Captain Wood. Captain Dench.
Copy !req
1023. As the only Prime Minister
in the history of our country
Copy !req
1024. who is also a mother
with a son of my own,
Copy !req
1025. I can imagine your agony,
and your grief.
Copy !req
1026. Prime Minister,
we have secured the beachhead.
Copy !req
1027. The Argentinean troops are
demoralized and ill-equipped.
Copy !req
1028. The paratroops have taken Goose Green.
Copy !req
1029. Shortly after dark last night,
Copy !req
1030. our forces surrounding Port Stanley
carried out what the Commander in Chief
Copy !req
1031. has described
as a brilliant surprise night attack.
Copy !req
1032. Thatcher, bed.
Copy !req
1033. From their new
positions, our forces can see
Copy !req
1034. large numbers
of Argentine soldiers retreating
Copy !req
1035. and streaming back into Port Stanley.
Copy !req
1036. Our forces are moving forward
to exploit their success.
Copy !req
1037. - Well done, Margaret.
- Congratulations.
Copy !req
1038. We congratulate
the men and women
Copy !req
1039. of our armed forces
for their skill, bravery,
Copy !req
1040. and loyalty to this country.
Copy !req
1041. We were faced with an act
of unprovoked aggression,
Copy !req
1042. and we responded
as we have responded in times past:
Copy !req
1043. with unity, strength, and courage...
Copy !req
1044. - ... sure in the knowledge
Copy !req
1045. that though much is sacrificed,
Copy !req
1046. in the end,
right will prevail over wrong.
Copy !req
1047. Hear, hear!
Copy !req
1048. And I put it to the Right
Honorable Gentleman opposite
Copy !req
1049. that this is not a day for him to carp,
Copy !req
1050. find fault, demand inquiries.
Copy !req
1051. They will happen,
I can assure him of that,
Copy !req
1052. for we have nothing to hide.
Copy !req
1053. No. This is a day
Copy !req
1054. to put differences aside,
Copy !req
1055. to hold one's head high
Copy !req
1056. and take pride in being British.
Copy !req
1057. Hear, hear!
Copy !req
1058. Well done, Prime Minister.
Copy !req
1059. Gotcha!
Well, that paid off, old girl!
Copy !req
1060. Your ratings have soared,
Copy !req
1061. from the most hated Prime Minister
of all time to the nation's darling.
Copy !req
1062. The world at your feet,
and Britain was back in business.
Copy !req
1063. The Berlin Wall has
fallen. The gates have been opened!
Copy !req
1064. The police are making no attempt...
Copy !req
1065. I don't agree.
I don't agree in any measure.
Copy !req
1066. Prime Minister, the question of the
European single currency will come up.
Copy !req
1067. I don't think the country is
ready for it yet.
Copy !req
1068. But we cannot bury
our heads in the sand...
Copy !req
1069. A lot of Conservative
MP's and Ministers are saying
Copy !req
1070. that there must be a change
in that style of management,
Copy !req
1071. that Mrs. Thatcher must listen more,
and on occasion, give in.
Copy !req
1072. The point is, Prime Minister,
Copy !req
1073. I don't think we can sell
the idea of a tax
Copy !req
1074. that asks everyone
to pay the same.
Copy !req
1075. Our policies
may be unpopular,
Copy !req
1076. but they are the right policies.
Copy !req
1077. Prime Minister, I just don't think
we can ask the poorest of the poor
Copy !req
1078. to pay the same amount of tax
as a multi-millionaire.
Copy !req
1079. There you go again! Why not?
Copy !req
1080. - Because...
- Because people, on the whole,
Copy !req
1081. think that the tax
is manifestly unfair.
Copy !req
1082. Nonsense. Errant nonsense.
Copy !req
1083. This is a simple proposition.
Copy !req
1084. If you live in this country,
you must pay for the privilege.
Copy !req
1085. Something, anything.
If you pay nothing, you care nothing.
Copy !req
1086. What do you care
where you throw your rubbish?
Copy !req
1087. Your council estate is a mess,
your town, graffiti, what do you care?
Copy !req
1088. It's not your problem,
it's somebody else's problem.
Copy !req
1089. It's the government's problem.
Copy !req
1090. Your problem, some of you,
Copy !req
1091. is that you haven't got
the courage for this fight.
Copy !req
1092. No, you haven't had
to fight hard for anything.
Copy !req
1093. It's all been given to you,
and you feel guilty about it.
Copy !req
1094. Well, may I say, on behalf of those
who have had to fight their way up,
Copy !req
1095. and who don't feel guilty about it,
Copy !req
1096. we resent those slackers
who take, take, take,
Copy !req
1097. and contribute nothing
to the community.
Copy !req
1098. And I see the same thing,
the same cowardice
Copy !req
1099. in our fight within the European Union,
cowardice,
Copy !req
1100. for the sovereignty of Britain,
the integrity of the pound!
Copy !req
1101. Some of you... want to make concessions.
Copy !req
1102. Some of you want to make concessions.
Copy !req
1103. I hear, some of you,
Copy !req
1104. agree with the latest French proposals.
Copy !req
1105. Well, why don't you get
on a boat to Calais? Hm?
Copy !req
1106. Why don't you put on a beret,
Copy !req
1107. and pay 85 percent of your income
to the French government!
Copy !req
1108. Right.
Copy !req
1109. What can we realistically hope
to achieve by the end of session,
Copy !req
1110. Lord President? And why have we not made
more progress to date?
Copy !req
1111. What is that?
Is that the timetable?
Copy !req
1112. - I haven't seen that.
- It is, Prime Minister.
Copy !req
1113. - May I see it?
- Yes, yes, of course.
Copy !req
1114. The wording is sloppy here.
Copy !req
1115. - And here.
Copy !req
1116. - If you say so.
- I do say so.
Copy !req
1117. - It's merely a first draft.
Copy !req
1118. This is ridiculous. There are
two "T's" in "committee."
Copy !req
1119. Two "T's." Geoffrey,
this is shameful. Shameful!
Copy !req
1120. I can't even rely on you...
for a simple timetable.
Copy !req
1121. Are you unwell?
Copy !req
1122. Yes, you are unwell.
Copy !req
1123. Give me your pencil.
Give it to me!
Copy !req
1124. If this is the best you can do,
I had better send you to hospital,
Copy !req
1125. and I shall do your job as well
as my own and everyone else's.
Copy !req
1126. Gentlemen, as the Lord President has
chosen to come to Cabinet unprepared...
Copy !req
1127. I shall have to close the meeting.
Copy !req
1128. Good morning.
Copy !req
1129. Can't pay! Won't pay!
Can't pay! Won't pay!
Copy !req
1130. Geoffrey.
Copy !req
1131. My letter of resignation.
Copy !req
1132. Our differences, I'm afraid,
Copy !req
1133. cannot be reconciled.
Copy !req
1134. I have done
what I believe to be right
Copy !req
1135. for my party and my country.
Copy !req
1136. The time has come for others to consider
their own response
Copy !req
1137. to the tragic conflict of loyalties
with which I have myself wrestled...
Copy !req
1138. Geoffrey's speech
in the House of Commons was devastating.
Copy !req
1139. He just couldn't take
any more of the bullying.
Copy !req
1140. He was almost inviting someone
Copy !req
1141. to challenge her for leadership
of the party.
Copy !req
1142. She behaved appallingly.
Copy !req
1143. I wouldn't have spoken
to my gamekeeper like that.
Copy !req
1144. I don't think she can survive this.
Copy !req
1145. I'm here to announce my decision
to put my name forward
Copy !req
1146. as leader of the Conservative Party.
Copy !req
1147. I have nothing but admiration
for our Prime Minister,
Copy !req
1148. Margaret Thatcher,
but I believe our party
Copy !req
1149. and our country need a new leader.
Copy !req
1150. - It's extraordinary...
- I'm the Prime Minister.
Copy !req
1151. make it possible
for Conservative MPs to depose
Copy !req
1152. - a sitting Prime Minister.
- Sweetie.
Copy !req
1153. He already has open support.
Copy !req
1154. As Conservative MPs gather
in Westminster to decide
Copy !req
1155. who they will back
in the leadership contest,
Copy !req
1156. the Prime Minister said
she would not be diverted
Copy !req
1157. from critical international affairs.
Copy !req
1158. Tonight in Paris, Mrs. Thatcher
is among 34 world leaders
Copy !req
1159. who came here to celebrate
the end of the Cold War
Copy !req
1160. and to herald the start of a peaceful
new age of East-West cooperation.
Copy !req
1161. There's a general feeling
that Mrs. Thatcher
Copy !req
1162. is going to win on the first ballot.
Copy !req
1163. "We're going to put it
to bed tomorrow night,"
Copy !req
1164. is how one of her
campaign staff puts it.
Copy !req
1165. M, I think you should
come home and defend yourself, old girl.
Copy !req
1166. Heseltine is campaigning ferociously.
Copy !req
1167. I do think
my time is better spent
Copy !req
1168. seeing an end to the Cold War.
Don't you?
Copy !req
1169. After all this time,
they know what I stand for.
Copy !req
1170. Will she, or will she not,
be in the job tomorrow?
Copy !req
1171. - Margaret, they can't touch you.
Copy !req
1172. Mrs. Thatcher
has failed to win enough votes
Copy !req
1173. to secure an outright win
in the leadership contest
Copy !req
1174. and must now decide whether to put her
name forward for the second round.
Copy !req
1175. As Mrs. Thatcher
leaves Paris for London to make
Copy !req
1176. her last-ditch attempt to pull together
support for her leadership,
Copy !req
1177. the ship may have sailed.
Copy !req
1178. Treachery!
Copy !req
1179. We will never win another
election led by that woman.
Copy !req
1180. We need a leader who listens.
Copy !req
1181. This isn't about her,
it's about the party.
Copy !req
1182. One must know when to go.
Copy !req
1183. The question is,
how does anyone put it to her?
Copy !req
1184. If you were to stand, I, of course,
would vote for you, Prime Minister.
Copy !req
1185. Prime Minister, I, of course,
would vote for you...
Copy !req
1186. But I don't think you can win.
The loyalty of all of my colleagues...
Copy !req
1187. It was the people who put me here.
Copy !req
1188. The loyalty of all of my colleagues
cannot be counted upon.
Copy !req
1189. It's up to them to tell me when to go.
Copy !req
1190. Margaret, you can't
let them do this to you.
Copy !req
1191. Please, boss.
Copy !req
1192. They'll destroy you.
Copy !req
1193. Throw in the towel now, love.
Copy !req
1194. Don't let those bastards
see you humiliated.
Copy !req
1195. You just won't win, darling.
Copy !req
1196. Not this time.
Copy !req
1197. - Oh, Denis.
Copy !req
1198. I am the Prime Minister.
Copy !req
1199. - Order! Order!
Copy !req
1200. The Right Honorable
Gentleman is afraid.
Copy !req
1201. This is their naked
strategy of closing
Copy !req
1202. some coal mines and then selling off...
Copy !req
1203. They believe in striking,
I believe in working!
Copy !req
1204. This is the woman who's
watched ten men on hunger strike
Copy !req
1205. starve themselves to death
and never flinched!
Copy !req
1206. Despicable and cowardly.
Copy !req
1207. - Cynical Falklands war...
- More homeowners,
Copy !req
1208. - more shareowners, more savings...
- Showing to the bankers...
Copy !req
1209. - Yes, yes, yes!
Copy !req
1210. I offer my resignation
Copy !req
1211. after 11 and a half
extraordinary years...
Copy !req
1212. proud to have left Britain
in a much better state
Copy !req
1213. than when we took office.
Copy !req
1214. What's this then?
Copy !req
1215. A radio.
Copy !req
1216. How useful.
Copy !req
1217. Steady, MT.
Copy !req
1218. - Mrs. Thatcher!
Copy !req
1219. The greatest
Prime Minister since Churchill
Copy !req
1220. deposed by a bunch
of spineless pygmies!
Copy !req
1221. All those years
of taking the tough decisions.
Copy !req
1222. Does any of it matter now?
Copy !req
1223. It's all been turned to mush!
Copy !req
1224. - Hm?
- By these fools!
Copy !req
1225. These lily-livered pinkos!
Copy !req
1226. - These inept placaters.
Copy !req
1227. Very good! These vacillators.
Copy !req
1228. - Vacillators! Poll takers.
- Popularity seekers.
Copy !req
1229. So busy taking
the pulse of the public!
Copy !req
1230. - Weak! Weak! Weak!
- These weak, weak...
Copy !req
1231. - All of them, weak!
- ... weak men!
Copy !req
1232. Don't they know
if you take the tough decisions...
Copy !req
1233. yes, people will hate you today,
Copy !req
1234. but they'll thank you for generations.
Copy !req
1235. Or forget you entirely
and chuck you out with the rubbish.
Copy !req
1236. Oh!
Copy !req
1237. All I wanted was
to make a difference in the world.
Copy !req
1238. And you did, love, you did.
Copy !req
1239. Yes... Oh...
Copy !req
1240. All I wanted was for my
children to grow up well and be happy,
Copy !req
1241. happier than I was, certainly.
Copy !req
1242. He kept all this.
Copy !req
1243. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
1244. And I wanted you
to be happy, of course.
Copy !req
1245. Were you happy, Denis?
Copy !req
1246. Tell me the truth.
Copy !req
1247. Denis?
Copy !req
1248. Here's your bag.
Copy !req
1249. All packed, sorted.
Copy !req
1250. Denis, wait.
Copy !req
1251. Where are your shoes?
Copy !req
1252. You... You can't go without your shoes.
Copy !req
1253. - Not yet.
- Steady.
Copy !req
1254. Yes. Steady.
Copy !req
1255. - Steady the buffs.
- Steady the buffs.
Copy !req
1256. No. Not yet!
Copy !req
1257. Denis! Wait!
Copy !req
1258. I don't...
I said I don't want you to go yet.
Copy !req
1259. Denis! Please!
Copy !req
1260. Not... Don't... No.
Copy !req
1261. I'm not...
Copy !req
1262. I don't want to be on my own.
Copy !req
1263. You're gonna be fine
on your own, love.
Copy !req
1264. You always have been.
Copy !req
1265. Denis...
Copy !req
1266. No, no, no!
Copy !req
1267. - Mummy.
Copy !req
1268. - Good God!
Copy !req
1269. - Mum, are you all right?
- Yes.
Copy !req
1270. - What have you been doing?
Copy !req
1271. Mummy, you should have called
for help, silly old sausage.
Copy !req
1272. Have you not even been in your bed
properly? You've done all this?
Copy !req
1273. Yes, it's all sorted. Finished.
Copy !req
1274. Yes, well, don't worry about that.
June and I can crack on with it.
Copy !req
1275. I was just going to get dressed.
Copy !req
1276. Shall I call someone,
see if anyone can come and do your hair?
Copy !req
1277. No... You do it.
Copy !req
1278. Right, I'm off, June.
Susie's going to drive me.
Copy !req
1279. - Just loading the car.
- OK. Bye!
Copy !req
1280. Oh, let me do that, Margaret.
Copy !req
1281. No, dear, it's all right. I'll do it.
Copy !req
1282. Carol said you might go
to the House of Lords today?
Copy !req
1283. - No, no. I'm not going anywhere.
Copy !req
