longer again after the ceremony.
Oh, I'll kill her.
Henrietta, it's not too late.
I love you, Henrietta.
Please don't do this insane thing.
Oh, Henrietta, I just talked to his uncle ...
I'll kill myself, Henrietta ...
Would you step back just half a step,
so Henry can stand next to Henrietta?
Dearly beloved.
in the sight of God ...
and in the face of this company ...
to join together this man and
this woman in holy matrimony ...
which is an honorable estate
instituted of God ...
signifying unto us the mystical union
which is betwixt Christ and his church ...
- I'll be leaving now.
I hope you'll enjoy your stay.
Thank you. Thank you.
Erm, Henrietta, I will use this chest
and you can use that one.
Or would you prefer that I use
that chest and you use this one?
That one will be fine.
And I will unpack my own things.
I have a certain way
that I unpack my things.
And if anyone touches anything
I get mixed up.
- Yes, Henry.
- Alright. Then shall we unpack?
I'm just going to dig up this specimen ...
and take it home for classification.
It's probably been classified for years ...
but I might as well just try it anyway.
Why not?
This is really incredible.
I know this isn't a Cyathea.
I know it's an Alsophila but ...
it seems to have some kind of
vestigial indusium.
Whoops!
Henry?
Commonly found in gardening sheds.
Perfect.
Spreading and emulsifying agents.
Soap, saponins, gelatin ...
Sticking agents, defloculating agents ...
Get poison from gardening shed.
Toxides:
arsenic acid, sodium arsenite,boron compounds, cyanides ...
cyo-cyenates and
related compounds ...
Oh, Henrietta, I meant to ask you ...
which, er ... which bed do you prefer ?
This one or that one?
Either one is fine for me.
This one is fine.
Fine. Then I will take that one.
And when we both use the same
bed, we'll use this one.
- Champagne?
- Thank you.
Henrietta, where is your other arm?
It's in the nightgown.
It's a Graecian-style nightgown.
It fits over one shoulder and
the other one goes inside.
It's very uncomfortable. I can barely
move my head all the way around.
Fine ... I just think you have
your head through the arm-hole.
If you'll just stand up for a minute.
That's it. There you are ...
I think ... You see, you have
your head through the arm-hole.
Now, pick your arm up ...
No, not that one.
Put that one down.
That arm down. Let's pick
this arm up. Thaaaat's it.
That's it.
Now, here we are.
- Just get this ... over here ...
- Let me put my glasses ...
Oh, here. Let me put
your glasses down here.
Alright. Now, hold it ...
No, just a minute.
See, you have your ...
you have your head through the arm-hole.
We have to get your head out ...
out of the arm-hole.
See, both of the holes look very similar.
Where ... where is your head-hole?
Well, I thought my head was in it.
No. You had your head in the arm-hole.
Where are you now?
- Where ...?
- Just a minute.
Oh. Here. That's it.
Here you are.
- I'll get your arm ...
- This arm?
Yes. Get this arm through ... through ...
No, wait a minute. You have ...
There. That's it.
Now put this arm ...
through here.
This is a head-and-left-arm hole.
Here. There you are.
- That's it. That's it!
- Oh, I see.
Now, there! That's the way ... it's
supposed to ... It still looks strange.
I'm sorry to be so much trouble to you.
That's alright. It's not for long ...
- Harold, Harold!
- Welcome home.
- Where is Mrs Graham, sir?
- Who?
Is she not with you, sir?
Where is she, sir?
Hello.
Oh, there you are, Madam.
Oh, welcome home, Mrs Graham.
May ... may I express my great
joy at seeing you ... again.
Thank you, Harold. Heavens.
Harold, where is the chauffeur?
I couldn't find him, sir.
He disappeared just as
I was about to leave.
- Couldn't find him ?
- No.
John is a little forgetful, dear.
That's why I usually take the bus.
- Who's John?
- John is the chauffeur.
His memory lapses.
prepare yourself, sir.
Mrs Graham's household is
incredibly democratic.
Couldn't find the chauffeur?
Chauffeur? Chauffeur!
Well, you're early.
Well, welcome home and
congratulations.
Mrs Traggert, I'd like you to meet
my husband, Henry Graham.
How do you do?
Henry, this is the housekeeper,
our housekeeper, Mrs Traggert.
May I ask where the chauffeur is?
Well, didn't he pick you up at the airport?
No, he did not.
Oh, well ...
I guess, er, his car broke down.
I'll have to look into that.
Will you ... you're wanting dinner
at home this evening?
Henry, would you want dinner
at home this evening?
Yes, supper for two, Mrs Traggert.
Very good.
Thank you, Mrs Traggert.
You're welcome.
- Well, how do you like it so far, dear?
- Well, I've only seen the foyer.
Oh, well, this is the main hall.
Oh, baby. Oh, I need you.
Oh, I want you. Aah ... ooh ...
Oh, who ... who are they?
Erm, one of them was a maid and
the other ... er ... was the chauffeur.
- John, the chauffeur?
- Yes.
Tell me, Henrietta, on what basis
do you hire your servants?
Efficiency or personal charm?
Both, actually. I mean,
I don't actually hire them.
Mrs Traggert does now
do the hiring, but I, er ...
When I did hire them,
I used both criteria.
Oh, er, madam?
Are you a guest in ...?
Is she ...?
Madam, would you mind using
the servants' staircase?
This is Mrs Blair.
This is the cook's daughter, Mandy.
Er, Madam, would you mind
letting us through? We ... Harold!
- Harold?
- Yes, sir?
Harold, get the household accounts
from Mrs Traggert immediately ...
and meet me in the
drawing room in ten minutes.
You can finish the luggage later.
- You may go now, Harold.
- Yes.
This is insane. Absolutely astonishing.
She keeps it under the mattress.
Hm. Look at this, Harold.
There are 17 servants in this house,
including a cook's daughter ...
who gets $200 a week
as her mother's helper.
The food bills average out to $130 a day.
And there are no receipts.
Miscellaneous:
$6,000 a month.I want all the servants in this room ...
and be sure that Mrs Graham
is not present.
Copy this ledger exactly and put it
back under the mattress.
Certainly, sir.
Harold, do you happen to know
where the gardening shed is?
Yes, sir. It's in the back of the garden.
Oh, good. Well, I guess I'll take
We don't have anything like that,
Mr Graham.
She's a strict believer
in the organic method.
But surely some of the
more basic pesticides ...
arsenic, strychnine ... that kind of thing.
No. A healthy plant in a healthy soil.
That's the organic method.
It works, too.
Oh, really?
Well ... if it really works,
why change it?
Mr Graham, on behalf of the entire staff,
I would like to welcome you aboard ...
and drink a toast to your success.
Thank you very much, Mrs Traggert.
