Lady Grantham

Scene1

Not for the first time,you suppose wrongly.The family must never be the topic of conversation.

All the more reason.If we can show the county he can behave normally,they will soon lose interest in him.And I shall make sure he behaves normally,because I shall hold his hand on the radiator until he dose.

Oh,here we go.

Scean2

I´m afraid Bade·Powell has stolen it.

Oh,don´t say that.It´s our job to provide employment.An aristocrat with no servants is as much use to the county as a glass hammer!

Scean3

Is it an Irish tradition?

It might have been.You don´t change on the first night of a voyage.

More´s the pity.

Scean4

Tomorro let´s ask the servants to come up and diner with us to make things easier.

Scean5

He´s still dessed as the man from the Prudential,I see.

No,no,I don´t think so.They look too exciting for so early in the evening.Don´t you think so,Carson?

Scean6

Is there any way to shut him up?

Could it be drink?

Forgive?Perhaps.Forget?Never.

Scean 7

Are you going up to the house to welcome the Queen of Sheba?

No.I'll pay homage at dinner.

Was Napoleon overawed by the Bourbons?

You weren't the first drunk in that dining room,I can assure you.

Oh,you've got me there.

Have you quite finished ?

Good.Please take off your coat.Molesley,do help him.

Shouldn't he put the waistcoat on first?

No,he doesn't.And nor do you.

Well.What do you think,Molesley?

I think the shoulders look odd.

Scean 8

I was so afraid I was going to be late.

Oh,I wouldn't say that.But then,I always keep out of the sun.How do you find Downton on your return?

How could you ever do that?

Not as much as you will...when you get to know him.

Oh,no.We won't see him again tonight.

The groom never sees the bride the night before the wedding.

You Americans never understand the importance of tradition.

She is like a homing pigeon.She finds our underbelly every time.

Dreadful woman.

Scean9

For heaven's sake.It was me.

No,Smithers did it.Like all ladies' maids she lives for intrigue.

I wanted Sybil and her husband to here for Mary's wedding,yes.

Silly,wasn't it?

I'm a woman of many parts.

After all,Branson is...I mean, Tom,you're a member of the family now.You'll find we Crawleys stick together.

Oh,I hope she's wrong.That could be rather serious.

Scean10

So encouraging to see the future unfurl.

第二集

So we can see.

Just how she here for?

No guest shuold be admitted with no date of their departure setteled.

Can we talk about it afterwards?

I speak of taste rather than law.

How?She's like a runaway train.

Scean2

Yes,your father told me all about it,but I cannot understand,why so much money was put into one company.

Now we're to be turned out of Downton.Even Lloyd George can't want that.

The point is have overlooked something, you know,some source of revenue previously untapped? If only we had some coal,or gravel,or tin.

Scean 3

Oh,there you are,my dear.

I've been looking for you.Now I want to know if we're serious,about getting that woman,about asking your other grandmother to come to our aid.

We can't wait that long,she looks as if she'll bury us all.No,we must act now.

We must make her feel it is her duty to save Downton.

Get her to sense Its value,Its vital role in the area.You're her granddaughter.This will be your house if it survives.Surely you can make something of that if she has a heart at all.

Then we can begin.

Scean 4

It always seems so strange to me that Cora has a brother.

There's no such thing as an Engish heiress with a brother.Why do we never see him?

Curious.He hates to leave America.I shuold hate to go there.

Indeed,Indeed we are.Never more than now.When the bond betweend the Crawleys and Levinsons is so strong.

I do.It is marvellous the way our families support each other.

I'm quite sure we would not.

Scean 5

Matthew obviously wants you to feel at home in his play clothes.

Don't you agree,Mrs Levinson? We must do everything in our power to keep houses like Downton going.

Scean6

Thank you,I know I'm early...

Oh,excuse us.

Nothing succeeds like excess.

After dinner.We'll get her on her own.

Never mistake a wish for a certainty.Let's hope she won't.

Scean7

You are not in white tie,either. What have you come as?

Wait,why is he still here.I thought you've gave him his marching orders.

No no no,not tonight.She must have it all her own way tonight.Do you think?

I don't even know what that means,but it sounds almost as peculiar as you look.

Certainly not. Would you think I might have a drink? Oh,I'm sorry,I thought you were a waiter.

Scean8

It seems our family owes Downton's survaval to the Levinsons not once but twice.

第三集

oh,hello.Edith,dear.

At my age one must ration one's excitement.

I told her everything would come right but she wouldn't believe me.

I was rather sad you decided against Pat,too.I would've pad.

How's Anthony? Excited,I hope.

What a invigorating prospect!

Scean2

This is very good of you.

Aren't you a wild thing?

Nor a faster one.

Do you think you'll be able to keep up with her?

Well a little.My late husband kept the shooting there.And we'd sometimes have luncheon in the house.

Nice enough,as a retreat from the world.I wuoldn't thought it suited to much else.

Scean3

What about me?Where am I to go?

Oh,perhaps I could open a shop.

If it's like everywhere else,good manners and some decent convesation.

Scean4

I really think you should go to bed,no bride wants to look tired on her wedding.It either means she's anxious or been up to no good.

Scean5

Well,this is the last of them.

Are you?Actually I thought a little sober reflection would not have gone amiss.

Robert,Edith is beginning her life as an old man's drudge.I should not think a large drawing room much compensation.

Because I want to have the pleasure of saying,"I told you so."

Scean6

He looks as if he's waiting for a beating from the headmaster.

How?He's done it before.So he must in possession of all the facts.

Or a difficult one to repeat.

NO,let him go,let him go.Don't stop him doing the only sensible thing he's come up with in monthes.

No,no.It's over,dear,don't drag it out.Wish him well and let him go.

Scean7

If the poor don't want it,you can bring it over to me.

第四集

Oh,thank you,my dear.That's very kind.How much do I owe you?

A guinea?For a bottle of scent?Did he have a mask and a gun? How are you?

Listen,I worry about you.That sort of thing is so horrid.

You must keep busy.

There must be something you can put your mind to.

No,you can't be as desperate as that.

Edith,dear,you're a woman with a brain and reasonable ability.Stop whinning and find something to do.

Scean2

Tell me,Dr.Lang,do you find the war has driven the people back into the churches or further away than ever?

Something to look forward to.

Maybe they do,but no family is ever what it seems from the outside.

Scean3

Well,yes and no,that house was hideous,but of course,that is no excuse.

It's a jungle castle,I rather agree.

Scean4

So at least we can sleep in our beds.

Lady Gregory.Countess Markievicz.Why are the Irish rebels so well born?

Scean5

What do you mean you wrote to a newspaper?No lady writes to a newspaper.

She's a Churchill.The Churchills are different.

Can somebody write that down?

He looks like a footman in a musical review.

If only that were true.

Scean6

Obviously,if you've turned to me.

Into Downton...

About?

Oh,my dear.Oh,I doubt there's a way to achieve that.

You must do what needs to be done,of course,but...I think I can safely say a great many noses will be out of joint.

第五集

The dear Duchess of Truro is full of praises,Sir Philip.Then of course you know that.

And so you did
