=== Episode #5.5 (2014) === * http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3696132 * http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=downton-abbey&episode=s05e05 Rose, Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham, Robert, and Rosamund: :Rose: I say, some man has opened a nudist colony at Wickford on Essex. :Violet: What do you mean a man's opened a colony in Essex? :Robert: Not that sort of colony, mama. It's for people who want to take all their clothes off. :Violet: In Essex? Isn't it terribly damp? :Rosamund: Would that make a difference? :Violet: Well, yes, if you had no clothes on. Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Patmore: :Mrs. Hughes: Would you like me to leave? :Mrs. Patmore: I'd love to think I have a secret that was too indelicate for a lady's ear but I haven't. Rosamund to Edith: :Rosamund: I gave up ten months of my life to make sure she came safely into the world. Robert and Tom: :Robert: I would only say this, Tom: In your time here you've learned both sides of the argument, befriended people you'd once have seen as enemies. :Tom: That's true. :Robert: You should be proud. :Robert: Five years ago, would you have believed you could be friendly with my mother? :Tom: (CHUCKLES) I'm not sure I'd have believed it five minutes ago. :Robert: Don't make nothing of what you've achieved. :Robert: That's all. Violet and Dr Clarkson talking about Isobel Crawley and Lord Merton: :Dr Clarkson: May I ask to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit? :Violet: I'll get straight down to it. :Violet: You know how Lord Merton likes to display his interest in all things medical? At least, he likes to, when in the company of Mrs Crawley. :Dr Clarkson: Your confidence is a compliment. :Violet: I confide in you, Dr Clarkson, because I must. :Violet: Only you can help. :Dr Clarkson: That is more flattering still. :Violet: It's the family's fault, really. :Violet: We've trained her in our ways, and the earnest and intellectual 'bonne bourgeoise' has been replaced by a rather less definable figure. :Dr Clarkson: Are you saying you liked her better when she was more middle-class? :Violet: No, I wouldn't go that far. :Dr Clarkson: But you understood her better. :Violet: Precisely. :Violet: Now I do not know who she is. :Violet: I do not know what it is she wants. :Dr Clarkson: Well, there are many who wouldn't be puzzled by the desire to marry a lord and live in a palace. :Dr Clarkson: Can I ask you a personal question? :Violet: I've lived through great wars and my share of grief. :Violet: I think I can manage an impertinent question from a doctor. :Dr Clarkson: Do you perhaps resent the idea of a change of position for Mrs Crawley? :Violet: I'm sorry. :Violet: I do not quite grasp your question. :Violet: It bewilders me. :Violet: But I will say this: Do you wish to see her live a life devoid of industry and moral worth? :Dr Clarkson: I do not. :Violet: And when the glitter is tarnished, you know, what then? A hollow existence in a large and draughty house, with a man who bores her to death. :Dr Clarkson: It's a terrible prospect. :Violet: So our duty is clear. Mrs Hughes and Mrs Patmore: :Mrs Hughes: That's nice of you. :Mrs Hughes: I'll just let Mr Carson know. :Mrs Patmore: Oh, could you leave it, for a moment? He's given me his view, about my money. :Mrs Patmore: He says I should put it into a building firm, WP Moss, or, if not them, then into some other building opportunity. :Mrs Hughes: And you don't want to? :Mrs Patmore: It's not that, exactly. :Mrs Patmore: But I don't know about building, and I don't like to put money into something I don't understand. :Mrs Hughes: Then why did you ask him? :Mrs Patmore: Because he's a man, I suppose. :Mrs Hughes: I'm not sure that's a good enough reason. :Mrs Patmore: Nor am I now. :Mrs Patmore: But I don't want to hurt his feelings. :Mrs Hughes: I wish men worried about our feelings a quarter as much as we worry about theirs. Rosamund and Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: :Rosamund: I don't know what you mean, Mama. :Rosamund: You question my motives every time I come here. :Rosamund: It's as if I weren't welcome. :Violet: Just tell me: what were you and Edith discussing in such a huddle? :Rosamund: Well, it is very hard- :Violet: Rosamund, you are addressing your mother, not the Committee of the Women's Institute. :Rosamund: I'm afraid you've read somewhere that rudeness in old age is amusing, which is quite wrong, you know. :Violet: It's about the child, isn't it? That is the secret you share. :Violet: We both know you are not leaving my house until I learn the truth. :Violet: So, shall I have a bed made up for you here, or are you going to tell me now?
