　　[INT. MR CARSON'S OFFICE - EVENING]

　　[Thomas takes the wallet out of Carson's coat pocket. Molesley enters and pauses when he sees Thomas.]

　　THOMAS

　　Mr Molesley, what you are after?

　　[Thomas puts the wallet back in the coat.]

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　Wanted a word with Mr Carson. I'm here to have my dinner.

　　THOMAS

　　You don't want much, do you?

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　What're you doing?

　　THOMAS

　　Mr Carson dropped his wallet in the passage. I was replacing it.

　　[Molesley steps back so Thomas can exit and then closes the door.]

　　[INT. DINING ROOM - EVENING]

　　[Robert and Matthew sit at the table.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　But everything seemed so settled between you at Sybil's ball.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Things have changed since then.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Not necessarily. I don't seem to be much good at making boys.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Any more than I'm much good at building my life on shifting sands.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　You do know I should be very proud to have you as my son-in-law, whatever your prospects¹.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Unfortunately, sir, your daughter is more practical than you.

　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - EVENING]

　　MR CARSON

　　Will you join us, Mrs Bird.

　　MRS BIRD

　　I don't mind if I do.

　　DAISY

　　I'm not sure Mrs Patmore would like that, Mr Carson. Cook always eats separate, that's what she says.

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　Not in our house. There's only the four of us.

　　[Thomas approaches O'Brien.]

　　THOMAS

　　Well, you're going any minute. She's advertised for your replacement².

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　That filthy³, ungrateful cow.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Let the kitchen maids have theirs on their own. You stay with us.

　　[Mrs Bird nods her appreciation⁴ and sits at the table while Daisy finishes serving up the soup.]

　　MR CARSON

　　Her Ladyship said to tell you that the dinner was delicious.

　　DAISY

　　She can't have.

　　MR CARSON

　　Daisy? Does that surprise you?

　　[The servants all being eating and realise something's wrong. Mrs Bird spits out her soup and looks at Daisy.]

　　MRS BIRD

　　What have you done with this, you little beggar? I knew it. That's why I said it was for upstairs. come on!

　　[Mrs Bird bangs her hand on the table and Daisy jumps.]

　　MRS BIRD

　　Tell us what's in it!

　　DAISY

　　Just...water and a bit of soap.

　　[The servants all put down their spoons.]

　　MRS BIRD

　　And you've put something in the fish sauce as well?

　　DAISY

　　Only mustard and aniseed.

　　[Mrs Hughes stands up enraged⁵.]

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Why, Daisy? Why would you do such a thing?!

　　[Daisy begins to cry.]

　　DAISY

　　Because Mrs Patmore was worried that they'd prefer Mrs Bird's cooking and they wouldn't want her to come back.

　　MR CARSON

　　Is that likely? When they've taken such trouble to get her well?

　　DAISY

　　I'm sorry.

　　[Daisy continues crying. Mrs Bird stands and goes to comfort her.]

　　MRS BIRD

　　There, there. There are worse crimes on earth than loyalty⁶. Dry your eyes, and fetch the beef stew⁷ I was making for tomorrow. You've not had a chance to spoil that, I suppose.

　　DAISY

　　I was going to mix in some syrup⁸ of figs⁹.

　　[The other servants chuckle¹⁰.]

　　DAISY

　　But I've not done it yet.

　　THOMAS

　　Well, at least we'd have all been regular.

　　[Daisy rushes out to fetch the stew as the others continue to chuckle.]
