The Importance Of Being Earnest (Wendy Hiller) part 6 of 11

[BronteIsCool]

Jack's eyes getting really big every line he says creeps me out.

[cozoxe]

Cecily is about 35 years old. That can't be right.

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

@cozoxe She's supposed to be 18 -_- that's rather a turn off

[megaripcord]

@AnonymoussourceL0L Im not sure I know what to say to you. I just hope you are under 21.

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

@megaripcord Yes, I am... and I don't find a rather older looking actress playing a role that's supposed to be younger. Doesn't quite fit.

[Jarknark1]

"I hope, Cecily, I shall not offend you if I state quite frankly and openly that you seem to me to be in every way the visible personification of absolute perfection"

[megaripcord]

@Jarknark1 Allow me to translate to Jive, "Bitch yo ass got one bad badonkadonk dat a brotha could set a glass on. Eyes jus sayin."

[TheLeakaChannel]

poor servent...catering to every whim of the master...

[laojace]

"i myself am peculiarly susceptible to draughts" what does that mean? /:

[Jacquee9]

@laojace it is dr afts and means he gets a chill when he sits in the draft ( wind coming through the doors)

[laojace]

@Jacquee9 the text says 'draught' though? /:

[Jacquee9]

@laojace

That is because overtime the spelling in the English language has changed since 1895

[extropian]

@Jacquee9 draught is the British usage, in Canada we still spell it that way. This word also means a glass of beer. So in this sense, as is it usually is in Wilde's plays, it's a pun because it means both things--the wind and the drink.

[Jaydoggy531]

@pandaramabear It was much more common in the aristocracy.

[Rekcarevo]

Quite common in classical Britain.

[ubersuperbatman]

I love the name Bumbry... BUMMMBRRRY

[sammygirl121413]

its actually Bunbury

[killer5362]

@sammygirl121413 It is their accent. I believe they are saying it right they just have an accent that blurs the words.

[Quickiezzz]

That was completely acceptable back then.

[fiynsais]
