Brief Encounter (1945) 09/09
00:00
I wonder if they'll ever meet each other?
Couldn't I write to you once in a while?
No, Alec, please.
You know we promised.
Oh, Laura, dear.
I do love you so very much.
I love you with all my heart and soul.
I want to die.
If only I could die.
If you died, you'd forget me.
I want to be remembered.
Yes, I know. I do, too.
We've still got a few minutes.
Laura, what a lovely surprise!
I've been shopping till I'm dropping,
my throat's parched!
I thought of having tea at Spindle's
but didn't want to lose the train.
- This is Dr Harvey.
- How do you do?
Would you get my tea?
I couldn't drag myself to the counter.
No. please.
'It was cruel of fate to be against us up to the last minute.
01:02
'Dolly Messiter! Well-meaning,
irritating Dolly Messiter,
'Crashing into those last few precious minutes we had.
'She chattered, fussed, but I didn't hear.
'I felt dazed, bewildered.'
- No sugar.
- It's in the spoon.
'Alec behaved so beautifully,
perfectly polite.
'No one could've guessed his real feelings.
- 'And then...'
- (Bell)
- There's your train.
- Yes, I know.
- Aren't you coming with us?
- No. My practice is in churley.
I'm a general practitioner.
- Dr Harvey goes to Africa next week.
- How thrilling!
(pA) 'The train arriving at platform 4
'Is the 5.40 for churley,
Leigh Green and Langdon.'
- I must go.
- Yes, you must.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
'I felt the touch of his hand on my shoulder for a moment
02:00
'And then he walked away.
'Away, out of my life forever.'
He's got to get right over on the other platform.
It reminds me of that bridge at Broadham Junction.
'Dolly went on talking,
but I wasn't listening.
'I was listening for the sound of his train.'
(Whistle)
'Then it did.
'I said to myself, "He didn't go.
His courage failed him.
'"He couldn't have gone.
'"Any minute, he'll come back in,
'"pretending he forgot something."
'I prayed for him to do that!
'Just so that I could see him again for an instant!
'But the minutes went by.'
(Bell)
Is that the train?
- Is that the Ketchworth train?
- no, it's the express.
Oh, that doesn't stop, does it?
02:55
- I want some chocolate, please.
- Milk or plain?
(Distant train whistle)
(Whistle getting louder)
'I meant to do it, Fred!
I really meant to do it!
'I stood there trembling,
right on the edge,
'but I couldn't.
'I wasn't brave enough.
'I'd like to say it was you
and the children that prevented me,
'but it wasn't.
'I had no thoughts at all.
'Only an overwhelming desire not to feel anything ever again.
'not to be unhappy any more.
03:59
'I turned...
'and went back into the refreshment room.
'That's when I nearly fainted.'
Laura.
Yes, dear?
05:00
Whatever your dream was,
it wasn't a very happy one, was it?
No.
Is there anything I can do to help?
Yes, Fred. You always help.
You've been a long way away.
Yes.
Thank you for coming back to me.
(Sobs)

Brief Encounter (1945) 08/09
00:01
'So I sat down on one of the seats.
'There was nobody about and I lit a cigarette.
'I know how you disapprove of women smoking in the street
'but I wanted to calm my nerves
and I thought it might help.
'I sat there for ages,
I don't know how long.
'Then I noticed a policeman walking up and down.
'He was looking at me rather suspiciously.
'presently, he came up to me.'
- Feeling all right, miss?
- Yes, thank you.
- Waiting for someone?
- No. I'm not waiting for anybody.
Don't catch cold.
It's a damp night for sitting about.
I'm going now.
I've got to catch a train.
You sure you feel all right?
Quite, thank you. Good night.
Good night, miss.
'I walked away trying to look casual,
knowing he was watching me.
'I felt like a criminal.
'I walked quickly back toward the High Street.
01:01
'I got to the station 15 minutes
before the last train home
'and realised I'd been wandering
about for over three hours.
'It didn't seem to be any time at all.'
Stan, you are awful!
- See you in the yard.
- All right.
(Beryl giggles)
- A glass of brandy, please.
- We're just closing.
You're not closed yet, are you?
- Three Star?
- That'll do.
Have you got a piece of paper
and an envelope?
- You'll have to go to the bookstall.
- The bookstall's closed.
- Please. I'd be so much obliged.
- All right. Just a minute.
02:01
Thank you very much.
- We close in a few minutes.
- Yes, I know.
- Darling, I was looking for you!
- please go away.
- I watched every train.
- please go away!
- I can't leave you like this.
- You must!
You're being very cruel.
He doesn't know who you are.
He never saw you.
I suppose you spoke of me together
as men of the world!
We didn't speak of you.
Why didn't you tell him who I was
and that we were cheap and low?
03:02
- Stop it!
- It's true, isn't it?
We know we really love each other.
That's all that matters.
No. Other things matter, too.
Self-respect matters, and decency.
I can't go on any longer.
Could you really say goodbye,
Never see me again?
Yes. If you'd help me.
I love you, Laura.
I shall love you always,
until the end of my life.
I can't look at you now because I know something.
I know that this is the beginning of the end.
Not the end of my loving you,
but the end of our being together.
But not quite yet, darling.
Please, not quite yet.
Very well, not quite yet.
I know what you feel about this evening,
about the sordidness of it.
04:03
I know about the strain of our lives,
our lives apart from each other.
The feeling of guilt and doing wrong is too strong, isn't it?
Too great a price to pay for the happiness we have together.
I know all this because it's the same for me, too.
You can look at me now.
I'm all right.
Let's be very careful.
Let's prepare ourselves.
A sudden break now, however brave,
would be too cruel.
We can't do such violence to our hearts and minds.
- Very well.
- (Bell)
- I'm going away.
- I see.
- But not quite yet.
- please, not quite yet.
(Door opens)
That's the 10.10. It's after closing time.
I have to lock up.
05:02
All right.
I want you to promise me something.
What is it?
promise me that however unhappy you are,
you'll meet me again next Thursday.
- Where?
- Outside the hospital, 12.30.
- All right. I promise.
- I have to talk to you and explain.
- About going away?
- Yes.
Where will you go?
You can't give up your practice.
I've had a job offered me.
I wasn't going to take it.
But I know now it's the only way out.
- Where?
- A long way away. Johannesburg.
Oh, Alec.
My brother's out there.
They're opening a new hospital.
They want me in it.
It's a fine opportunity.
I'll take Madeleine and the boys.
06:02
It's been torturing me,
the necessity of making a decision.
I haven't told anybody,
not even Madeleine.
I couldn't bear the thought of leaving you.
But now I see it's got to happen soon, anyway.
It's almost happening already.
(Beryl) Stanley!
(Giggling)
(Bell)
When will you go?
Almost immediately.
In about two weeks' time.
Quite near, isn't it?
Do you want me to turn down the offer?
Oh, don't be foolish, Alec.
I'll do whatever you say.
That's unkind of you, my darling.
(pA) 'The Ketchworth train is now arriving at platform 3.'
07:10
- You're not angry with me, are you?

00:04
A cup of tea, please.
- Good afternoon.
- Couple of whiskies, please, lady.
Sorry. It's out of hours.
Hide 'em under them poor old sandwiches.
Them sandwiches are fresh.
I will not!
Be a sport!
You can have as much as you want after six.
My throat's like a parrot's cage!
I'm sorry.
I'm not permitted to serve alcohol out of hours.
You want to get me into trouble?
Just give us the chance, lady!
That's all we ask!
- Beryl!
- Yes, Mrs Bagot?
Ask Mr Godby to come here, will you?
Who's he when he's at home?
You'll see. cheeking me.
- Come off it, mother.
- I'll give you mother, upstart!
01:00
- Who are you calling an upstart?
- You! Get out, double-quick!
Making a nuisance of yourselves!
- Where's the fire?
- What's going on in 'ere?
Mr Godby, these gentlemen are annoying me!
- We haven't done nothing!
- We just asked for a drink.
- They insulted me, Mr Godby!
- Nothing of the kind!
- A little joke.
- Hop it, both of you.
- We got a right to stay.
- You heard me, hop it!
Is this a bloomin' Sunday school?
Your train's due in one minute, platform 2.
Hop it.
- Look here.
- Come on, Johnny.
Don't argue with the poor basket.
Hop it!
Cheerio, mother!
If them sandwiches were made this morning,
you're Shirley Temple!
Thank you, Albert.
What a nerve, Mrs Bagot!
Beryl, pour me a nip of Three Star.
I'm feeling upset.
02:00
- I must get back to the gate.
- I'll see you later, Albert.
OK.
(Bell)
(pA) 'The train now at platform 3
is the 5.43 for Ketchworth.'
- (Laura) 'I really must go home.'
- (Alec) 'I'm going to the flat.'
(Laura)
'I must go home. I must go home.'
(Alec) 'I'm going back to the flat.'
(Laura) 'I'm going home.'
02:58
Excuse me. I forgot something.
Darling.
It's raining.
It started just as I turned out of the High Street.
You had no umbrella and your coat's wet.
You mustn't catch cold.
That would never do.
I look an absolute fright.
- Let me put that down for you.
- Thank you.
I hope the fire will perk up in a few minutes.
- I expect the wood was damp.
- Yes, I expect it was.
Do sit down, darling.
I got right into the train then got out.
Wasn't it idiotic?
04:58
We were both very, very foolish.
- Alec, I can't stay. Really I can't.
- Just a little while.
(Key in lock)
Quickly, quickly! I must go.
Through the kitchen,
there's a tradesman's staircase.
- (Man) Is that you, Alec?
- Yes!
- You're back early.
- Yes, I felt a cold coming on,
So I decided not to dine with that arch-arguer Roger Hinchley.
Inflamed membranes are unsympathetic to dialectic.
What will you do about food?
I can always ring down to the restaurant later.
- This is a service flat!
- Yes. Yes, of course.
05:56
It, er, caters for all tastes.
- Dear Alec, you have hidden depths.
- Look here, Stephen.
Alec, no explanations or apologies.
I should apologise for returning so inopportunely.
Clearly, you were interviewing a patient privately.
Women are neurotic and the hospital atmosphere can be upsetting.
By the rather undignified scuffling I heard,
I gather she beat a hasty retreat down the back stairs.
I'm surprised at this farcical streak in your nature, Alec.
Such carryings-on are quite unnecessary.
After all,
we've been friends for years.
I'm really very sorry, Stephen.
The situation must seem inexpressibly vulgar to you.
Actually, it isn't in the least.
However, you're right.
Explanations are unnecessary. I must go now.
- I'll collect my hat and coat.
- May I have my latchkey back?
06:59
I'm so afraid of losing one of them.
You know how absent-minded I am.
- You're very angry, aren't you?
- No, Alec. Just disappointed.
'I ran until I couldn't run any longer.
'I stopped to get my breath
in a side road off the High Street.
'I know it was stupid to run,
but I couldn't help myself.
'I felt utterly humiliated and so dreadfully,
dreadfully ashamed.
'After a moment or two,
I pulled myself together
'and walked on towards the station.
08:00
'It was still raining
but not very much.
'I realised I couldn't go home,
'not until I was more under control
and had had time to think.
'Then I thought of you waiting at home
'so I went into the High Street
'and found a tobacconist's and telephoned to you.
'Do you remember? '
Hello, Fred. Is that you?
Yes, dear. It's me, Laura.
Yes, everything's perfectly all right
but I shan't be home to dinner.
I'm with Miss Lewis.
You know, the librarian I've told you about at Boots.
Yes, I can't explain in detail because she's outside the box now.
09:01
I met her in the High Street a while ago in a terrible state.

'and with nothing in the way.'
(Orchestra tuning up)
'I saw us in Paris, in a box at the opera.
'The orchestra was tuning up.
'Then we were in Venice, drifting along in a gondola
'with the sound of mandolins coming over the water.
'I saw us travelling far away together,
'all the places I've always longed to go.
'I saw us leaning on the rail of a ship,
'looking at the sea and the stars.
'Standing on a tropical beach in the moonlight
'with palm trees sighing above us.
'Then the palm trees changed into those pollarded willows by the canal.
'And all those silly dreams disappeared.
'I got out at Ketchworth and gave up my ticket and walked home as usual.
'Quite soberly and without wings.
'Without any wings at all.
01:03
'Then I'd changed and was doing my face.
'I don't suppose you remember, but I do.
'You see, that was the first time in our life together I'd lied to you.
'It started then.
'The shame of the whole thing, the guiltiness, the fear.'
- Good evening, Mrs Jesson!
- Hello, dear.
- Had a good day?
- Yes, lovely.
What did you do?
I shopped, had lunch, went to the pictures.
- By yourself?
- Yes. Er, no, not exactly.
What do you mean, not exactly?
I went to the pictures by myself, but I had lunch with Mary norton.
She couldn't come to the pictures because she had to see her in-laws.
I walked her to the bus and came home.
I haven't seen Mary for ages.
How's she looking?
Very well, really. A little fatter.
Hurry up with the beautifying.
I want my dinner.
02:02
You go down. I won't be five minutes.
- (Operator) 'number, please? '
- Ketchworth 37.
'Ketchworth 37.'
- 'Hello.'
- Mrs norton, please.
- 'Yes. Will you hold on? '
- Yes, I'll hold on.
- Hello.
- 'Is that you, Mary? '
Laura! Fancy you calling!
I thought you were dead.
No. I haven't seen you for ages.
Listen, my dear,
will you back me up in the most appalling domestic lie?
02:59
- 'As bad as all that? '
- My life depends on it.
Well, today I went into Milford to do my shopping
with the special intention of buying Fred's birthday present.
'Spink & Robson's hadn't got any of those clocks with barometers,
'but their branch in Broadham had one
'so I hopped on the train and went to get it.'
Well, this is where the black lie comes in!
Fred asked me about my day and I said that you and I had had lunch,
and you'd seen your in-laws and I'd gone to the pictures.
If you see him, don't let me down!
- 'Darling, of course not!'
- I'll do as much for you, promise.
- Let's really lunch.
- Yes, that'd be lovely.
'What about Thursday? '
No. Thursday's my Milford day.
What about Friday?
'Fine. Better make it here.'
All right. perfect.
'You know what my cook's like.
It'll have to be early.
Yes, all right.
04:00
- 'Goodbye.'
- Goodbye.
'That week was misery.
'I went through it in a sort of trance.
'How odd of you not to have noticed that you were living with a stranger.
'Thursday came at last.
'I'd arranged to meet Alec outside the hospital at 12.30.'
- Hello!
- Hello!
I thought you wouldn't come.
I've been thinking that all week.
I didn't mean to, really, but here I am.
04:59
'I hadn't been inside the Royal since Violet's wedding.
'It all seemed very grand.
'He ordered champagne and said we were only middle-aged once!
'We were gay and talked about ordinary things.
'Fred, he was charming.
You'd have liked him if things were different.
'As we went out, he said he had a surprise,
'and if I waited five minutes he'd show it to me.
'He went down the steps at a run,
'more like a schoolboy than a respectable doctor!
'Suddenly, out came Mary norton and that cousin of hers.
'They must've seen Alec and the champagne and everything.
Laura! So it was you after all.
Hermione said it was.
But I peered and peered and still couldn't be sure.
I never saw you at all.
I expect it was the champagne!
I'm not used to champagne for lunch. Or dinner!
- Alec insisted.
- Alec who, dear?
05:58
Alec Harvey. You remember the Harveys?
