唐顿庄园第一季第二集_7
[EXT/INT. FRONT DOOR/OUTER HALL - DAY]
MR BATES
Sorry to have kept you waiting, sir.
CHARLES GRIGG
I'm here to see Lord Grantham.
MR BATES
Is he expecting you?
CHARLES GRIGG
No. But he'd be very interested in what I have to tell him.
MR BATES
His Lordship is not at home, but if you will leave your name--
CHARLES GRIGG
Ah, ah, ah. Don't go all high and mighty1 with me. I don't know who you are, but you're certainly not the butler,
so don't try and make out you are.
MR BATES
How do you know?
CHARLES GRIGG
Because Charlie Carson's the butler 'round here.
MR BATES
Does your business concern him?
CHARLES GRIGG
It might do.
MR BATES
Excuse me for one moment, sir.
MR BATES
Fetch Mr Carson as fast as you can.
[Anna nods and the stranger walks in uninvited. Bates turns back to Anna.]
MR BATES
Use the front door.
MR BATES
If you would like to follow me, sir.
CHARLES GRIGG
MR BATES
You will be more comfortable, sir.
CHARLES GRIGG
Sorry, chump.
[The stranger waltzes into the library and looks around.]
CHARLES GRIGG
Oh, aye. I'll not mind waiting in here.
LADY SYBIL
Bates...?
MR BATES
This...gentleman is an acquaintance of Mr Carson, milady.
LADY SYBIL
What is he doing in here?
MR BATES
He says he has urgent business with His Lordship.
CHARLES GRIGG
Urgent.
MR BATES
I've sent for Mr Carson to come at once.
LADY SYBIL
Then I'll stay with you in case explanations are needed.
MR BATES (mouths)
Thank you.
[EXT. DOWNTON ABBEY, GROUNDS - DAY]
[Anna runs down the road.]
ANNA
Mr Carson! You're needed at once in the library.
[INT. OUTER HALL/LIBRARY - DAY]
[Robert enters through the open front door to hear the stranger complaining loudly.]
CHARLES GRIGG
How long are you expecting me to wait? I'm a very busy man, you know.
MR BATES
If you could just be patient for a little longer, sir.
[The stranger sees Robert entering.]
CHARLES GRIGG
Ah.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
[Mr Carson and Anna enter.]
MR CARSON
Mr Bates, what are you...? Er...I'm sorry, Your Lordship. Mr Bates, you may go now.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
No, stay where you are. No one is going anywhere. Do I take it you know this man?
CHARLES GRIGG
Don't try and deny it.
MR CARSON
No, I won't deny it. I do know him, my lord, but not what he is doing in the library.
MR BATES
I tried to take him downstairs out of sight, Mr Carson, but he wouldn't come.
MR CARSON
Thank you, that was thoughtful.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
But who is he?
[Carson hesitates.]
CHARLES GRIGG
Will you tell him or shall I?
MR CARSON
His name is Charles Grigg. We worked together at one time.
CHARLES GRIGG
Oh, I'm a little more than that, aren't I, Charlie? We're like brothers, him and me.
MR CARSON
We are not like brothers.
CHARLES GRIGG
We were a double act. On the halls.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
You were on the stage? Carson, is this true?
MR CARSON
It is, my lord.
CHARLES GRIGG
The Cheerful Charlies, that's what they called us.
[Carson rolls his eyes while Grigg does a tap dance and hands Robert a flier for their old act.]
CHARLES GRIGG
We did quite well, didn't we?
MR CARSON
Until you couldn't keep your hands out of the till.
ANNA
Would you like us to go, Mr Carson?
MR CARSON
No. You know it now. You might as well bear witness to my shame. He turned up in the village with no warning some
days ago on the run, asking for somewhere to hide and, of course, for money.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
God in heaven.
MR CARSON
CHARLES GRIGG
Hey, steady on.
MR CARSON
He threatened to expose my past to make me a laughingstock in this house. And in my vanity8 and pride, I gave him
what he wanted.
CHARLES GRIGG (scoffs)
You did not.
MR CARSON
I put him in an empty cottage and fed him from the kitchens. I couldn't buy food in the village, it would raise
too many questions. I stole. I'm a thief. She...saw it.
[Carson indicates Anna.]
ANNA
I'd never have said anything, Mr--
MR CARSON
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Really, Carson, there's no need to be quite so melodramatic. You're not playing Sydney Carton.
[Robert turns to Grigg.]
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
So, why have you come here, if he has done everything you asked of him?
CHARLES GRIGG
Because he hasn't.
[Grigg sits down in a chair.]
CHARLES GRIGG
He wouldn't give me any money.
MR CARSON
If I had, how could I have prevented his returning to Downton once it was spent?
[Robert clears his throat.]
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
My dear Mr Grigg...
CHARLES GRIGG
Ah. Nice to see someone 'round here's got some manners.
MR CARSON
Hold your tongue!
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
I'll tell your what is going to happen. When I have given you twenty pounds, you will leave Downton immediately
and we will never set eyes on you again.
CHARLES GRIGG
I'll have to see about that.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
[Grigg springs up from the chair.]
CHARLES GRIGG
Just a minute--
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
[Robert pulls out his wallet.]
CHARLES GRIGG
You think you're such a big man, don't you? Just 'cause you're a lord, you think you can do what you like with
me.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
I think it, because it is true.
[Robert holds out the cash and Grigg debates for a moment, then takes the money.]
CHARLES GRIGG
You'll not always be in charge, you know. The day is coming when your lot will have to toe the line just like the
rest of us.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
Perhaps. But happily for Carson, that day has not come yet.
MR CARSON
I...take it my resignation has not been accepted?
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
My dear fellow, we all have chapters we would rather keep unpublished. To be honest, Carson, I'm rather
impressed. Did you really sing and dance and everything in front of an audience?
[Sybil smiles.]
MR CARSON (ashamed)
I did.
ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM
And do you ever miss it?
MR CARSON
Not in the least, my lord.
