Albert Nobbs Page #6

but then all those years,

and no one suspecting.

Not even you, and you slept here,

in the same bed with him.

Her.

And Dr. Holloran left us.

Took off to England with,

what's-her-name, Mary.

Said he was tired of secrets.

Can you imagine?

And that good-for-nothing Joe Mackins

went off to America,

and left me with an unwed hussy

of a maid, with a brat.

Now, Mr. Page, I have a heart.

I couldn't throw her out

onto the streets

and call myself a Christian,

now could I?

Oh, my lordship.

I trust you're finding

your suites satisfactory.

Splendid, Mrs. B. Splendid.

However, we seem to have misplaced

the key to the connecting door.

Could you have your man

open it for us?

I'll have it done right away.

Thank you.

I have an appetite.

Lovely, lovely people.

- So you want the whole place painted?

- Yes.

Top to bottom. You'll have

to hire in help, I should think.

Well, it's a big job.

It won't be cheap, ma'am.

Oh, don't worry about that.

I... I came into a bit of money.

A bit of good fortune.

Well, to work, Mr. Page.

I've put you up in Albert's old room.

For old time's sake.

Mr. Page.

Hello, Helen Dawes.

I heard Mrs. Baker

say you were coming.

Well, it's a big job

she wants me to do.

Good.

May I?

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

His name is Albert.

Albert Joseph.

So, it's a "he," is it?

So, Mrs. Baker

is letting you stay, is she?

Oh, she told you that, did she?

Out of the kindness

of her Christian heart?

The truth is, Mr. Page...

The truth is,

she says she won't tell the priest

about my Albert

as long as I work here for nothing.

But they are going to take

him away from me.

You know they will.

And they will throw me

out onto the street.

It's just a matter of time.

Well, now...

We can't let that happen, can we?
