We have an invitation for Saturday night - From whom? - The Townsends Dorothy Townsend Do you not like her? Ive only met her once, but theres no reason for her to put on such airs - Does she? - Yes I have no idea why Because she was, what, married to a vice consul?

How fascinating Are you enjoying it? Ive never seen anything like it Every gesture has a meaning See how she covers her face with the cloth? She is mourning her misfortune What happened to her? She was sold into slavery Condemned to a life of drudgery and despair in a strange land far from home See the chains? They represent the heavy bondage of her poor trapped soul from which there is no escape And so she weeps She weeps for the lively, vivacious girl she once was the lonely woman she has become and most of all, she weeps for the love shell never feel for the love shell never give Is that really what shes saying? Actually, I havent a clue what shes on about I dont speak chinese What was that? Perhaps it was the amah Theyve gone - He heard us - Who? Walter Walter What if it was? - For all he knows, you were taking a nap - With my doors locked? Kitty, dear, you need a drink Even if it was, my impression is hell do nothing Thats flattering He knows as well as anyone theres nothing to be gained by making a scandal Has it occurred to you that my husband is in love with me? I have a feeling youre about to say something awful Its just that women are often under the impression that men are much more in love with them than they really are I wouldnt delude myself for a second that you were in love with me Now there youre wrong Do you like your present? Its good enough Charlie? Do I make you as happy as you make me? Of course you do, darling - Hassan? - Yes? - Who brought this package around? - Dr Fane - When? - While you sleeping Its nearly midday We could stop up here under the trees but Id like to press on if its all right with you Certainly my comforts of no concern to you Right Then well continue Charlie Townsend, please Charles Townsend I need to see you Kitty, I cant possibly see you Ive got a meeting in an hour at the club What is it? I have to go What are you doing home? Im sorry, theres something I need to speak with you about Actually, I was just about to take my bath Im afraid its rather important, darling Cant wait Sit down Do you know a place called Mei-tan-fu? No Well, it It was in the papers the other day Its a small town on a tributary of the Yangtze River, in the interior Theyve had an outbreak of cholera there Its the worst epidemic anyones seen in a long time The chinese medical officer has died Theres a convent of French nuns trying to run the hospital Theyre doing the best they can, but people are dropping like flies I have volunteered to go and to take charge - Why? - Because they need a doctor But youre not a doctor Youre a bacteriologist Im an MD The fact that Im foremost a scientist is actually all to the good in this case Wont it be awfully dangerous? I suppose it might, yes Now, Mei-tan-fu is a -day journey You can go by rail for the first part But after that its carriage, and then well have to take a sedan chair Whos we? - Why, you and I, of course - Youre not expecting me to come too I hoped that if I was going, you would want to go Surely its no place for a woman It would be madness for me to go - Why should I? - To cheer and comfort me? No No, I wont go In fact, its monstrous of you to even ask me Fine Then I shall file my petition for divorce tomorrow Im afraid that you have thought me a bigger fool than I am I dont know what youre talking about Dont you? I am divorcing you for adultery I am naming charles Townsend as your lover Im sorry, walter I realize this is very unpleasant But, please, lets not make this uglier than it needs to be By all means What is it that you propose that we should do? You could let me divorce you quietly You divorce me? - On what grounds? - Thats what a gentleman would do Give me one reason to put myself to an inconvenience on your account Please, walter, dont be so hateful We didnt mean to hurt anyone But charlie and I have fallen in love - He wants to marry me - Really? I knew that you werent the cleverest girl but I didnt know you were actually a fool Yes Well, if it makes you feel better to hurt me, then go ahead But you might as well get used to it We love each other And were sick to death of the secrecy and compromise and the rest Now you curse the day that you ever met me Stop mocking me Theres no other response for such pathetic behavior Its comic When I think about how hard I have tried to make you happy Debasing myself, acting as though I was as thrilled as you by the latest gossip - I dont have to listen to this - And as ignorant of the world as you are If you interrupt me again, Ill strangle you Sit down I knew when I married you that you were selfish and spoiled But I loved you I knew that you married me only to get as far away from your mother as possible and I hoped that one day thered be something more I was wrong You dont have it in you If a man hasnt whats necessary to make a woman love him then its his fault, not hers Either way Tomorrow morning we are to leave for Mei-tan-fu, or I shall file my petition You cant be serious about taking me into the middle of a cholera epidemic Do you think that Im not? My God Thats what you want, isnt it? Do you really think charlie will let you do this? I dont think charlie has very much to say about it Everything you said is true Everything I married you even though I didnt love you But you knew that Arent you as much to blame for whats happened as I? All right Heres what Ill do Gentlemen, we all have assets to protect here Unfortunately, Mr Nagatas actions have created a rather urgent situation It was an unfortunate but unavoidable incident - Your foreman shot a worker - He was an agitator He was a chinese You may have suppressed a very small strike but in doing so, you have started a very large demonstration I need to use your pen, please - Here you are, miss - Thank you What about support from chiang Kai-shek? Where does he stand? Hes a nationalist He will stand on the side of the chinese Thats why they call themselves nationalists Excuse me Mr Townsend I think you underestimated the situation I have three of my mills shut down because of walkouts - There is talk about boycotts - What do you propose? A handful of municipal soldiers is hardly a show of force If youll excuse me Mrs Fane What a pleasant surprise Youve rescued me from a pack of wild bores I wouldnt have come if it wasnt necessary Are you all right? I needed to see you Im sorry Kitty, this is not the most opportune time for me to charlie He knows Right After you, Mrs Fane - Hello, charlie - Hello, George - Hello, Townsend - Pardon He wants a divorce You didnt commit yourself, did you? - Acknowledge anything? - No - Are you sure? - Quite sure Well, this is a bloody scrape were in He says he has proof We deny it He cant prove anything Besides, it wouldnt do him any good to create a scandal But there isnt going to be a scandal Walters agreed to let me divorce him quietly Thats not so terrible, is it? - Will you hold me? - Of course I will Oh, God Charlie? His offer comes with a condition - Im not a rich man - He doesnt want your money Hes agreed to let me divorce him if Dorothy will agree to divorce you And if what? If youll promise to marry me You know, darling, whatever happens, we must try to keep Dorothy out of it What do you mean? We cant only think of ourselves I know Dorothy Nothing in the world will induce her to divorce me You dont want to divorce her - Its not a question of my marriage - Then what is it? Do you have any idea of the importance of my station here? If I were why are you laughing? I dont think walter intended for one minute to divorce me He knew youd let me down - Try to understand - I understand, all right Kitty Kitty, please Well work this out, I promise - Im coming with you - Good I thought you might I suppose I neednt take more than a few summer things? And a shroud? Ive told Hassan what youll need Shes packing already I wouldnt touch that if I was you They may have died in that bed This can be your room You must be the doctors wife Ive just met your husband and invited myself to dinner Ive kept the watsons cook for you Shes not bad Shell have to do as your amah as well Were a little short-handed here Sorry, my name is waddington Oh, yes, of course Kitty Fane - Im the deputy commissioner - Please I believe youre one of our neighbors Only neighbor, Im afraid Last one standing And watson was the missionary living here? Yes Nice fellow American Lovely family Ill show you their graves tomorrow, if you like How kind of you I hope your journey wasnt too arduous Weve been traveling for two weeks Two weeks? - What did you do, swim? - No, we didnt come upriver - Came overland - Whatever for? Well, we wanted to take in a bit of the countryside Get a bit of sun Didnt we, darling? Anyone for a cocktail? Heres luck I was told I might get some help from the local army officer Colonel Yu, is it? Good luck with him Hes not fond of us British Listen, Ill warn you, things are pretty dicey even out here Im afraid that if the cholera doesnt get us, the nationalists might Tried to get those nuns to go but they refused They all want to be martyrs, damn them Well, why have you stayed? I was posted here Simple as that I was shocked to hear youd volunteered Opportunity for research I couldnt pass it up Yes And you? I dont suppose youve come to Mei-tan-fu for the research My husbands the scientist Indeed Did you have any reaction to the inoculation? - You have been inoculated? - Yes, of course No guarantee The watsons were inoculated and it didnt do them much good Oh, have you brought any gramophone records? - No, unfortunately not - Pity Im sick of all mine Listen Whats all that? Across the river Trying to frighten off the spirit of death Im going to town in the morning, have a look around I expect youll want to rest I can inoculate you in the evening - Will you be doing yourself? - No, I dont think so - You neednt bother with me, then - Suit yourself Tell me, walter is it a long, drawn-out affair, dying of cholera? No All of the fluid goes out of you in the first hours You die of dehydration, actually So its messy and very painful But it is relatively quick Good night Its rather unfortunate I thought perhaps that you and your wife youd like to take precautions in case youd have to leave this place Do you think all this is really necessary? You can see the picture I thought youd like to put your wifes mind at rest from this situation This is colonel Yu Hes the KMTs man Hes posting one of his men here at the house Am I a prisoner? No It was Mr Waddingtons idea, actually - He feels we should take precautions - Precautions against what? A few days ago, British troops opened fire on a group of chinese workers who were demonstrating in Shanghai Eleven were killed Weve only just heard Those were plastered around the town last night I shouldnt worry too much Even the nationalists are afraid of cholera Do they take that water from the well? Can I see where they get their drinking water? Well, for starters, weve got to stop people from using this well until I can test it Do you understand? Yes, I understand, Dr Fane I received my military training in Moscow If you dont like English, we can speak Russian English will be fine Thank you Here You have seen cholera before, yes, doctor? - At the laboratory, of course - No, I mean in a patient No I havent had the chance, actually Well, Im not a clinician Did they not tell you?
