唐顿庄园第二季第一集_4

　　[INT. LADY GRANTHAM'S BEDROOM - DAY]

　　[O'Brien helps Lady Grantham dress to go out.]

　　O'BRIEN

　　They want to use her as a maid of all work at the hospital. Isuppose it's cheaper when Lady Sybil can live here for nothing,but it doesn't seem quite right somehow to take advantage.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　No, it does not.

　　O'BRIEN

　　I hear the young men that are being brought in now are very disfigured.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　How terrible.

　　O'BRIEN

　　Limbs missing and faces blown apart. And Lady Sybil's been nurtured so very gently. And whattypes would she be working with?

　　[Cora looks more and more concerned.]

　　O'BRIEN

　　Still, you'll know what's best to do.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Yes. I certainly will.

　　[Lady Grantham exits with her gloves and hat.]

　　[INT. KITCHENS - DAY]

　　[Daisy shells peas, Anna polishes, William mends a shirt, Branson reads the newspaper, and O'Briensits down to sew.]

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Where's the butter for the pancakes?

　　DAISY

　　It's in the cold larder.

　　ETHEL

　　Are we having pancakes tonight?

　　O'BRIEN

　　No we [?] is like.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Upstairs dinner Crepe Suzette.

　　ETHEL (gasp)

　　I've always wanted to try those. Could you save me some? If they don't finish them all.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Er, save you some Crepe Suzette?

　　[Branson regards Mrs Patmore. Anna smiles at the strange request.] ETHEL

　　If you don't mind. [Ethel files her nails.]

　　ETHEL

　　What are we having?

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Lamb stew and semolina.

　　ETHEL

　　Do you eat a lot of stews?

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Don't you fancy that, dear?

　　ETHEL

　　Not all the time.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Oh, I see. And would you like to sleep in Her Ladyship's bedroom while you're at it? [Ethel looksup.]

　　ETHEL

　　Wouldn't mind. I hate sharing a room. I didn't in my last place.

　　ANNA

　　There were only two maids and a cook.

　　ETHEL

　　Well, I'm just saying.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　And I'll just say, if you don't look out.

　　[Ethel smiles in amusement as Mrs Patmore leaves.] O'BRIEN

　　You've got a cheek on your first day.

　　ETHEL

　　I don't see why. I want the best and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

　　O'BRIEN

　　And you think we don't?

　　ETHEL

　　I think it's hard to change at your age. I don't blame you. But I suppose, in the end, I want to bemore than just a servant.

　　[INT. CARRIAGE - DAY]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I'm sorry, but if Dr Clarkson needs free labour, I'd prefer him not to find it in my nursery.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　But Sybil isn't in the nursery.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　No, and in case you haven't noticed, she hasn't been there for some time.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　You know what I mean.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, no, not really. You can't pretend it's not respectable when every day we're treated topictures of queens and princesses in Red Cross uniform, ladling soup down the throat of someunfortunate.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　But Sybil won't be ladling soup. She'll have to witness unimaginable horrors, and she's an innocent.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Her innocence will protect her.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　For once I agree with Cousin Isobel. Sybil must be allowed to do her bit like everyone else. [MrMolesley opens the carriage for Isobel and hands her out in front of her house.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　What about you, Molesley? Are you ready for the call if it comes?

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　It won't be coming for me, milady. I had a letter from the war office. They say I'm not suitable forservice.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Why not?

　　[Molesley looks uncomfortable.]

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　I really couldn't say, milady.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　As you can imagine, Molesley's father is beside himself with joy.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　God moves in a mysterious way, his wonders to perform. [Violet nods to Molesley and closes thecarriage.]

　　--

　　[EXT. DOWNTON TRAIN STATION - DAY]

　　[Mr Bates steps out of 3rd class. A station employee opens a 1st class door for Lady Mary and sheruns into Bates.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Bates!

　　[Bates touches his hat to her.] LADY MARY

　　No one told me you were on this train.

　　MR BATES

　　They didn't know, milady.

　　LADY MARY

　　We'll give you a lift to the house.
