== Season 5 == * http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/episode_scripts.php?tv-show=downton-abbey&season=5 === Episode #5.1 (2014) === * http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3325518 * http://downton-abbey.hypnoweb.net/script-vo-501.211.1043/ * http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/episode_scripts.php?tv-show=downton-abbey&season=1 :INT. DINING ROOM – Robert, Mary, Tom, Tony, Cora, Violet, Isobel, Carson, Kitty, Rose, "Man", Lady Anstruther, Sarah: :Robert make a speech. :Robert: Marriage is a lottery, as we are often told, but I am a man who has drawn a winning ticket. I have been awarded a bumper prize: beauty, brains, a heart, a conscience, all in one. I give you my Cora, the best companion in the world. :Mary: Mama. :Tom: Lady Grantham. :Tony: What a tribute. :Cora: Indeed. If only it were true! :Violet: What's happened to Molesley's hair? :Isobel: Carson, Lady Mary tells me that you're to lead the Memorial Committee. :Carson: That is so, madam. Yes. :Isobel: You'll drive it splendidly. :Kitty: Rose, is that friend of yours terribly clever? :Rose: She's Tom's friend, not mine, but I think so. Yes. :Kitty: She certainly thought I was terribly stupid. :Man: Well, let's not shoot her down for that. :(Carson sees Lady Anstruther put a paper in Jimmy’s Pocket.) :Tony: No, thank you. Do you know that footman? :Lady Anstruther: Yes, he used to work for me. It's always nice to see a friendly face. :Mary: Especially a friendly, pretty face. :Sarah: I'm not convinced these memorials are a good idea, but I suppose that's a different issue. :Tony: Why not? Won't they give people a focus for their sorrow? :Mary: And a reminder of the sacrifices that were made. :Sarah: If it were a memorial service, then I might agree, but a stone edifice on the green, to remind us for ever of death and a pointless war - what's the good of that? To say nothing of the waste of money. :Robert: Forgive me, but you're talking nonsense. :Isobel: Forgive me, but I suppose she's allowed an opinion. :Robert: Not that opinion. Not in this house. :Tom: I think what she means is… :Robert: She is here as your friend, so of course you must defend her. :Tom: But was the war worth fighting? What did it achieve, beyond the Russian Revolution? :Sarah: Millions of men dead and no more 'justice' than there was before. :Robert: You are wrong, both of you. But we must strive to keep things light. :Sarah: It's a pity they didn't want you on their Committee. You put up a stout defence of their intentions. :(Everyone don’t talk. Carson wants to save Robert’s honor) :Carson: They do want His Lordship on the Committee. Forgive me, My Lord. I'd have told you later, but they held a meeting this afternoon, and they would like you as their patron. :Cora: Oh, how nice. I dare say that was always their plan. :Carson: I dare say it was, Your Ladyship. :Robert: I should be glad to accept. :Violet: Now, if you can all put your swords away, perhaps we can finish our dinner in a civilised manner. :Isobel: But I admire it, when young people stand up for their principles. :Violet: Principles are like prayers. Noble, of course, but awkward at a party. === Episode #5.2 (2014) === * http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3666186 * http://downton-abbey.hypnoweb.net/guide-episodes/saison-5/episode-502/script-vo-502.211.1044/ * http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=downton-abbey&episode=s05e02 INT. SHOP Anna comes in to take protections. :Man: Yes, miss. :Anna: Erm Is there a lady I could deal with? :Man: Very good, madam. If you'll just wait there. :(A customer enters) :Anna: I've not quite made up my mind. Why not serve the gentleman first? :Customer: That's kind of you. Packet of safety razor blades, please. :Man: That's sixpence, sir. Thank you. :Woman: If we keep this up we'll have another customer along soon. :Anna: Yes. Erm I would like to buy one of these. :Woman: I can see you're married. :Anna: I am married, yes. :Woman: But you don't with for any more children. :Anna: That's it. That's right. :Woman: There is always abstinence. :Anna: Of course there is but I don't want to take any risks because of my health. :Woman: Oh, I see. Well, that does put a slightly different colour on it. Three and eleven. :Anna: '''Keep the change.''' :Woman: '''What about the instructions? They can be very difficult to manage.''' :Anna: I'm sure it's perfect. Thank you. INT. STRAIRS :Cora sees their guest front of a paint. :Cora: Mr Bricker. :Mr Bricker: This is wonderfully kind of you. :Cora: You can see the painting now or after dinner or wait until tomorrow. :Cora: It's entirely up to you. :Mr Bricker: I think I'd like a glimpse of it later this evening. :Mr Bricker: I can take a proper look in the daylight with my wits about me. :Robert: You look as if you've spent the winter away from these shores. :Mr Bricker: I've been in Alexandria. :Robert: Really? '''I don't envy you. I'm not very good at abroad.''' Rose leaves. :Blake: '''I loved Rose's definition of ordinary life. Dancing and shopping and seeing one's friends.''' I'm going to bed too. I'm worn out. :Mary: But I hope you'll be happy for me. If it is Tony in the end. :Blake: Nothing will make me happier than seeing you happy. But please be absolutely sure before you decide. :Mary: Why do you say that? :Blake: Because you're cleverer than he is. That might have worked in the last century when ladies had to hide their brains behind good manners and breeding. But not now. :Mary: I don't agree. I think Tony is quite as clever as I am. :Blake: Then one of us is right and one is wrong. :Mary: You not fair. I'm not some overheated housemaid drooling over a photograph of Douglas Fairbanks. :Blake: Plantagenets are as susceptible as housemaids when it comes to sex. :Mary: Are we talking about sex or love? :Blake: That is a question mankind has wrestled with since the dawn of time. Good night. === Episode #5.3 (2014) === * http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3689408 * http://downton-abbey.hypnoweb.net/script-vo-503.211.1078/ * http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=downton-abbey&episode=s05e03 Violet and Isobel: :Violet: Oh, what is the latest from your ageing Romeo? :Isobel: If it's of interest, I haven't heard anything from him ~ since you and I last met. :Violet: Oh, how disappointing. :Isobel: To you, perhaps. Not especially to me. By the way, how is Spratt? :Violet: He's well, I think. Why do you ask? :Isobel: He wasn't there to open the door. I wondered if he might be ill. :Violet: Oh, no. He's not ill. He's in Liverpool. His niece got married yesterday and Spratt had to take her down the aisle. :Isobel: Oh. It seems unlikely to think of Spratt with a private life. :Violet: Hm. Yes. Unlikely and extremely inconvenient. :Isobel: But you can't begrudge him that. Servants are human beings too. :Violet: Yes. But preferably only on their days off. Violet and Spratt: :Violet: I hope you're not too tired after your exertions. :Spratt: Ooh, M'Lady. I'm not tired exactly. :Violet: Oh, good. I'm glad if the wedding was a success. :Spratt: Oh. The wedding was a success. Yes. :Violet: Spratt, I have told you before, I do not appreciate a man of mystery. If you have something to say, say it. :Spratt: I would, Your Ladyship, but it may not be quite right for me to tell. :Violet: Well, if that is the case then do no say it. Do you have some other business? :Spratt: Only that it may not be mine to tell, but it is, in a way, yours. :Violet: You're testing me, Spratt. And I warn you, being tested does not bring out the best in me. :Spratt: No, Your Ladyship. :Violet: I will not repeat myself. Either impart this piece of information, if you can empower yourself to do so, or go. :Spratt: Very well. I hope Lady Mary enjoyed her time in Liverpool. :Violet: What? :Spratt: I was standing outside the Grand Hotel this morning, M'Lady, when I saw her come out with her suitcases. She was accompanied by Lord Gillingham who had clearly also been staying in the hotel. :Violet: Well, yes. They were both staying there. They were attending an informal conference of northern landowners. Lord Gillingham thought Lady Mary might derive benefit from it. :Spratt: So you knew about it? :Violet: Of course I did. Why? What do you imagine you were witnessing? :Spratt: Well :Violet: Nothing vulgar, I hope! Nothing beneath the dignity of a butler of this house. :Spratt: Oh. Nothing of that sort, M'Lady. :Violet: I'm glad to hear it. Now, if you'll be good enough to let me drink my brandy in peace. :Spratt: Your Ladyship. Diasy, Carson, Hughes: :Daisy: Oh, by the way, Mr Carson… :Carson: Yes, Daisy. :Daisy: You wouldn't mind if I were to sit an examination, would you? I mean, not now. But when I'm ready for it. :Carson: That's a question for Mrs Patmore or Mrs Hughes. :Daisy: But you don't object? :Carson: Well, since you ask, I'm not convinced any of this extra work is necessary for your place in the scheme of things. :Hughes: My advice Daisy is to go as far in life as God and luck allow. INT. GRANTHAM’S HOUSE (Mary, Spratt, Violet:) Mary is arrived. :Mary: Thank you, Spratt. :Spratt: I trust you enjoyed your stay in Liverpool, M'Lady? :Violet: You found it extremely interesting, didn't you, dear? :Mary: Yes, I did. I think we'll have some tea. Thank you, Spratt. :Spratt: Very good, Your Ladyship. :Mary: Obviously, it's very shocking to someone of your generation. :Violet: Don't let us hide behind the changing times, my dear. This is shocking to most people in 1924. :Mary: Yes. :Violet: Can we be confident that there will be no unwanted epilogue? :Mary: You can be quite sure. :Violet: Well, I must say that makes a nice… :Mary: A nice what? :Violet: A nice kettle of fish. Is there any chance of a proposal? :Mary: Every chance. He already has. He wants to set the date. :Violet: Oh. Oh, I see. Well, I'm not saying I approve because I don't. But it does put things in rather a different light. :Mary: Yes. :Violet: When will you announce it? :Mary: I'm not sure. We haven't decided. :Violet: Then you'd better get on with it. If I was seduced by a man, I would not let any grass grow under his feet if he'd offered to do the decent thing. :Mary: I wasn't seduced, Granny. :Violet: A young woman of good family who finds herself in the bed of a man who is not her husband has invariably been seduced. :Mary: She couldn't have gone to bed with him of her own free will? :Violet: NOT if she was the daughter of an Earl. (Spratt comes back) :Violet: Oh, there you are, Spratt. Lady Mary's been telling me all about her conference. :Spratt: I hope you found it interesting, M'Lady. :Mary: I learned a great deal that I never knew before. :Violet: Thank you, Spratt. Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, to Lady Mary Crawley: :Violet: I hope his arrival means you intend to make it public. :Mary: Darling, granny, you know how much I value your advice… :Violet: Which means you intend to ignore it. :Mary: The point is I won't be hurried into anything. Not by you or him. :Violet: But if you weren't certain, why on earth did you go to bed with him? Well, in my day a lady was incapable of feeling physical attraction until she had been instructed to do so by her mama. :Mary: I don't believe that. :Violet: Seriously, my dear, you have to take control of your feelings before they take control of you. === Episode #5.4 (2014) === * http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3714404 * http://downton-abbey.hypnoweb.net/guide-episodes/saison-5/episode-504/script-vo-504.211.1111/ * http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=downton-abbey&episode=s05e04 Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, and Isobel Crawley: :Violet: Hope is a tease designed to prevent us accepting reality. :Isobel: You only say that to sound clever. :Violet. I know. You should try it. Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, and Isobel Crawley: :Isobel: Lord Grantham sounds rather more subtle than I'd realized. :Violet: Well, like all Englishmen of his type, he hid his qualities beneath a thick blanket of convention so I didn't see who he really was at first. :Isobel: It's lucky you found out in time...If it was in time. :Violet: I forget. Robert and Violet: :Robert: He flatters her. He keeps asking her opinion on everything. :Violet: Well, don't you ever ask her opinion? :Robert: Of course I do. Sometimes. Robert Crawley, Sarah Bunting, Mary: :Robert: Obviously, the lessons have proved successful. I'm pleased to hear it. :Sarah: Are you, Lord Grantham? :Mary: Oh, for heaven's sake, let it go. You've proved your point. :Sarah: Have I, though? All I've proved is that Lord Grantham would like us serfs to stay in our allotted place from cradle to grave. :Robert (angrily): There is only one thing I would like and that I would like passionately. It is to see you leave this house and never come back! (He leaves the room) :Mary: Happy now? Violet and Edith: :Violet: Edith, dear, are you still writing that very interesting column? :Edith: Yes, Granny. :Violet: Oh, you must show me some of them. What is the latest one about? :Edith: What are they all about? The way the world is changing. === 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? === Episode #5.6 (2014) === * http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3810550 * http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=downton-abbey&episode=s05e06 Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham, and Isobel: :Violet: I do apologize. :Isobel: Oh, don't. I'm enjoying it immensely. :Violet: That's what I was afraid of. Dr. Clarkson: :Dr. Clarkson: Harsh reality is better than false hope. Robert and Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: :Robert: Maybe it would be good for (Edith) to have a bit of time on her own to think. :Violet: All this endless thinking. It's very overrated. I blame the war. Before 1914, nobody thought about anything at all. === Episode #5.7 (2014) === * http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3810556 * http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=downton-abbey&episode=s05e07 Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham, and Rosamund: :Violet: We have to tell Cora. :Rosamund: Well isn't that rather a betrayal? :Violet: If anything happens to Edith and Cora learns later we knew all along, she would never forgive us. And I wouldn't blame her. You see, as a mother, it is her right. :Rosamund: But you don't plan to tell Robert. He is Edith's father. :Violet: He's a man. Men don't have rights. Mary and Violet: :Mary: What's the matter, granny? :Violet: I was worried about Edith. :Mary: I can't think why. :Violet: My dear, a lack of compassion can be as vulgar as an excess of tears. === Episode #5.8 (2014) === * http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3810558 * http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=downton-abbey&episode=s05e08 Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham, and Lord Sinderby: :Violet: Is it a long list, Lord Sinderby? The things you disapprove of? :Sinderby: No, as long as I can steer clear of card sharps and undercooked fish. Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: :Violet: Love is a far more dangerous motive than dislike. Susan and Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: :Susan: I don't believe it. Is that it? Am I just expected to be a good loser? :Violet: It's too late for that, my dear, far too late. Susan and Rose: :Susan: Whatever I said or did was done from love. :Rose: I'm afraid we must have different definitions of the word. Lady Anville and Cora: :Lady Anville: I do feel for you. It must be very trying but I so admire you for putting on a good face. :Cora: I wonder if you remember that my father was Jewish. :Lady Anville: Oh. I'm afraid I, that is, how interesting. Barrow and Miss Denker: :Barrow: Why are you bullying him, Miss Denker? Can't you pick on someone your own age? :Denker: He'll have fun when he gets there. :Barrow: Maybe, but I suspect you're a bad influence all the same. :Denker: Then I suspect we have something in common, Mr. Barrow. :Barrow: Cheeky! Mary: :Mary: Now that Lord Sinderby and Lady Flincher both have a reason to look down on the other, that should keep them quiet. === Episode #5.9=christmas special (2014) === * http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3962976 * http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=downton-abbey&episode=s05e91 [[Category:ToBeExported]]
