RALEIGH
ST.CLAIR
You have a visitor, my darling.
But why is this bloody necessary?
You don’t love me anymore, do you?
How long do you intend to stay here?
Are you ever coming home?
You’re joking.
I want to die.
Have you met someone else?
Richard, I know you’re terribly close to
Margot, and perhaps you understand her
better than anyone else.
Nevertheless, may I confide in you?
I believe she’s having an affair.
I’m utterly devastated. I don’t know
where else to turn. Will you advise me?
Well, I thought, perhaps --
(pause)
Well, no. I thought we might --
(hesitates)
I don’t know, at the moment.
Very little, I assure you.
We would, rather. Yes.
She smokes.
No.
You’ve made a cuckold of me.
Many times over.
And you’ve nearly killed your poor
brother.
She’s balling Eli Cash.
May I have a cigarette?
Shall I repeat the question?
(bitterly)
I bloody well know that.
And a light, please?
Thank you.
That’s not terribly serious, is it?
(to the priest)
Do you have an alternative?
What’s so funny, Dudley?
Oh, my Lord, no.
