East Hill bus.
All right, lady, on or off, please.
- Oh, yes.
That's all. Next bus.
- Fares, please.
Beverly Crescent?
- Who?
Beverly Crescent.
- Get off next stop, take number 19.
Fares, please.
- I'm sorry, conductor.
Would you mind stopping?
- Leaving us already?
It's in the opposite direction.
That's about the only place
we don't go, lady. Fares, please.
Why, Mrs. Miniver.
- You know, l....
Don't tell me it's gone.
Just a minute.
Oh, I was so afraid you'd sold it.
No. We knew you'd come back.
I know it's foolish and extravagant...
...but I've simply got to have it.
Yes, pack it up quickly,
don't give me time to think.
Oh, careful, careful.
Why, vicar. This is nice.
For me. Let me put those on the rack.
- Thank you.
Oh, no, not this one. I might leave
it behind, and it's rather precious.
Yes, I know the feeling.
Guess what this is.
Port.
- Worse than that.
Cigars.
- Well, why not? My husband does.
He can afford it.
- I'm not so sure.
He has a very extravagant wife.
- Nonsense.
It's quite true. I can't help it.
I'm afraid I do like nice things.
Things far beyond my means sometimes.
Oh, pretty clothes...
...and good schools for the children,
the car, the garden, you know.
Yes, I know.
- Does it give you a lovely guilty feeling?
Lovely.
- Oh, vicar.
Fellow sinners.
What will the village say?
you're a very understanding person.
That's why you do so much good.
- Well, I hope I do.
I hope I can when they need me.
You mean, you think
there is trouble coming?
I think it's here.
Good evening, Lady Beldon.
- Good evening, vicar.
Good evening.
Oh, shopping's absolutely impossible
nowadays. You can't get near the counter...
...and when you do, they haven't got it
and you pay twice as much for it.
What a wonderful description.
- Sit down, Simpson. And don't sniff.
I spent the whole afternoon being
pushed around by middle-class females...
...buying things they can't afford.
- Oh, dear, that means me.
Oh, no, much worse.
You're Mrs. Mannering, aren't you?
Miniver.
- Oh, yes. The lawyer's wife.
No, my husband's an architect.
- I knew he was something of that sort.
I don't know what the country's coming to.
Trying to be better than their betters.
No wonder Germany's arming.
Good evening, your ladyship.
- Good evening, Ballard.
Good evening, ma'am.
- Good evening, Mr. Ballard.
Dear, this bag.
Vicar, do go on, please.
Well, goodbye, then.
- Goodbye.
Thank you.
I was looking for you on the 5:00.
- I missed it by two minutes.
Isn't that shameful?
- Well, time and tide waits for no man.
And trains neither.
Are you too late, ma'am,
to spare me a moment?
I got something to show you.
- Well, I--
It's something very special.
Well, of course, Mr. Ballard.
Do show me.
This way, ma'am.
Thank you.
Oh, Mr. Ballard.
It's my masterpiece.
How lovely.
You like it, ma'am?
I think it's the most beautiful rose
I've ever seen.
The shape.
- And the scent.
Divine. And the color....
I adore red roses.
'Tis said, as Cupid danced among the gods,
he down the nectar flung...
...which on the white rose being shed,
Wherever did you find that?
- Hutter's seed catalog, ma'am.
It's pretty, but it ain't true.
What goes to make a rose, ma'am,
is breeding...
...and budding and horse manure,
if you'll pardon the expression.
And that's where you come in, ma'am.
- I?
I gotta have a name for it.
Oh, you want me to name it for you.
- No, ma'am, I got a name for it...
...if you'll give me your permission.
- Why, of course. But I don't see--
I want to call it the 'Mrs. Miniver.'
If you'll pardon me, ma'am...
...I've watched you go in and out of town
for years now...
...and you've always had time
to stop and have a word with me...
...and I've always waited
for you to come home...
...and you remind me of the flower.
And I figured it'd be a very good name
for my rose.
It's a lovely compliment, Mr. Ballard.
I'd be very happy indeed
to have you name your rose after me.
Well....
I really must go now. I'm terribly
late already. Goodbye, Mr. Ballard...
...and thank you. Thank you very much.
- No, no, no, thank you.
I think it's lovely
having flowers named after you.
Goodbye.
- Bye.
Thank you.
That's my wife.
Good as new?
- Well, almost, sir.
It's a nice car, but afraid
it's a little more than I can afford.
Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
We have some nice cars
in a cheaper bracket.
But I like this one.
Well, I'm going to take it.
Perhaps you'd better think it over.
- No, I'm going to take it.
Will you bring it tonight?
- Very good, sir.
And don't let my wife know
how much it cost.
Hello, Judy.
- Daddy.
Good evening.
Mr. Miniver, you're just in time
to hear Judy play her piece.
But I'm afraid--
- lt'd encourage her so much.
Encourage both of us, in fact.
- I'm a little late. Next time.
See you later, Judy.
- Bye, Daddy.
What's the hurry, Toby?
- I can't stop, Daddy.
- Oh, does he?
I wouldn't dare tell you the price, though.
I feel terribly guilty about it.
I was already on my way home
and something seemed to come over me...
...a sort of trance. I got off the bus--
- Hello, darling.
Oh, Clem.
- How are you?
That's Clem, dear.
As I was saying, I got off the bus...
...and then I suddenly remembered that Vin
was due down from Oxford tomorrow.
Yes, Vin, dear, tomorrow.
Isn't that exciting?
And so we're all going down
to the station to see him.
Isn't that wonderful?
Sophie, you idiot,
Clem was standing right here beside me.
Of course I haven't told him.
You don't just throw things
like that at a man.
Well, there wasn't any connection,
I just had to say something.
Well, I'll probably tell him
after dinner tonight.
He's usually most docile
when having his coffee.
May we go to the station
and meet Vin tomorrow?
Of course, darling, if you're good.
Is Vin still a vege-- 'Vegetenarian,' mother?
I doubt it, darling.
He'll have some new idea.
That was just a phase
he was going through.
What's a phase?
- Oh, it's just a thing people go through.
Do I go through it?
- Yes, you're going through one right now.
Am I? I'm going through a phase.
Stop waving your arms and finish supper.
What phase will he be going through?
- We'll have to wait and see.
Darling, I mustn't keep Daddy waiting.
Good night, sweetheart.
Be a good girl.
Could I run down to the post, ma'am?
Cook says she'll clear.
Well, of course, Gladys,
but don't let Horace keep you out too late.
Rather a dashing fellow,
young Horace Perkins, eh, Gladys?
Sir.
You know, Kay, I--
- You know, Clem, I--...
I'm sorry. Go ahead, dear.
- No, what were you going to say?
Nothing important. I just wondered if you
had a nice time in town today, that was all.
Oh, wonderful.
I shopped and shopped.
Just little things, you know.
Oh, I had a puncture in the car today.
