Violet Bradman:
Can you foretell the future? Madame Arcati:
Certainly not. I disapprove of fortune-tellers most strongly. Violet Bradman:
Oh, really - why? Madame Arcati:
Too much guesswork and fake mixed up with it - even when the gift is genuine - and it only very occasionally is - you can't count on it. Ruth Condomine:
Why not? Madame Arcati:
Time again. Time is the reef upon which all our frail mystic ships are wrecked. Ruth Condomine:
You mean because it has never yet been proved that the past and the present and the future are not one and the same thing? Madame Arcati:

but for a child of my tender years
it was most gratifying.
00:00:04.623 --> 00:00:05.951
Can you tell fortunes?
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.618
Certainly not.
I disapprove of fortune-tellers most strongly.
00:00:15.761 --> 00:00:20.258
Edith, we don't want to be disturbed for
the next hour or so for any reason whatsoever.
00:00:20.308 --> 00:00:21.969
- Is that clear?
- Yessum.
00:00:22.001 --> 00:00:26.396
- Unless it's an urgent call for George.
- Unless it's an urgent call for Dr. Bradman.
00:00:26.439 --> 00:00:29.358
Well, Madame Arcati, the time is drawing near.
00:00:29.401 --> 00:00:32.032
- Who knows? It may be receding.
- How very true.
00:00:32.363 --> 00:00:34.044
I hope you feel in the mood, Madame Arcati.
00:00:34.491 --> 00:00:37.492
It isn't a question of mood,
it's a question of concentration.
00:00:37.536 --> 00:00:41.617
You must forgive us being impatient.
We can easily wait if you're not ready to start.
00:00:41.665 --> 00:00:45.664
Nonsense, my dear. I'm absolutely ready.
Hey-ho, hey-ho, to work we go!
00:00:45.712 --> 00:00:49.544
Is there anything you'd like us to do...
well, hold hands or anything?
00:00:49.592 --> 00:00:53.672
All that will come later.
First, a few deep, deep breaths of fresh air.
00:00:58.477 --> 00:01:01.394
You may talk, if you wish.
It won't disturb me in the least.
00:01:07.999 --> 00:01:09.771
An excellent dinner, I congratulate you.
00:01:09.822 --> 00:01:14.997
- The mousse wasn't quite right.
- It looked hysterical, but tasted delicious.
00:01:14.003 --> 00:01:16.995
- That cuckoo's very angry.
- I beg your pardon?
00:01:17.006 --> 00:01:19.745
I said, that cuckoo was very angry. Listen.
00:01:21.419 --> 00:01:22.962
How do you know?
00:01:23.955 --> 00:01:24.547
Timbre.
00:01:27.001 --> 00:01:29.752
No moon. That's as well, I think.
00:01:29.804 --> 00:01:31.881
A mist rising from the marshes.
00:01:31.931 --> 00:01:35.846
There's no need for me to light my bicycle lamp?
No-one's likely to fall over it?
00:01:35.001 --> 00:01:38.646
- No. We're not expecting anyone else.
- Splendid.
00:01:40.001 --> 00:01:42.649
Good night, foolish bird.
00:01:44.999 --> 00:01:47.858
- You have a table?
- We rather thought that one might do.
