Downton abbey and it's heros

1920 wedding/sybil death pt2

MR CARSON
Dinner is served, Your Ladyship.
*****************************************
[dining room]

TOM
No, I don't agree! And I don't care who knows it!

[Sybil puts down her silverware, upset by Tom's behaviour.]

TOM
Or that the Black and Tans are there to restore order, are they? Well, why don't they just murder the entire population, and then you wouldn't hear a squeak out of any of them!?

[Mary is also tense from Tom's awkward shouting.]

VIOLET
Is there any way to shut him up?

ROBERT
If I knew how to control him, he wouldn't be here in the first place.

CORA
Are you interested in Irish politics, Lord Merton?

LORD MERTON
Well, I was only just saying that I thought--

TOM
He's interested in Irish repression! Like all of you.

[Larry smiles, trying to hold in his laughter.]

MATTHEW
Look, old chap, of course this stuff matters a great deal to you.

TOM
Yes, it does matter. This stuff.

[Mary and Gabriella looks over and sees Larry holding in another smile.]

TOM
It matters a very great deal.

MARY
What's so funny?

LARRY GREY
Nothing, I'm just enjoying this vivid display of Irish character.

[Sir Anthony looks at Larry sharply.]

SYBIL
Please, Tom, we don't need to wear everyone out.

TOM
Why? What's the matter? Am I not being polite enough?

[Tom tosses his napkin on the table.]

SIR ANTHONY
Well, wait a minute. This was down to you, wasn't it?

[Larry furrows his eyebrows in confusion.]

LARRY GREY
I don't know what you mean.
GABRIELLA
Yes, you do. Me and Sir Anthony saw you. You put something in his drink, didn't you? Just before we came in.

[Everyone looks at Larry.]

SYBIL
That's not true, is it, Larry?

GABRIELLA
Such stupid prank, you should never put such a prank on people

EDITH
What a beastly thing to do.

LARRY GREY
Oh, come on, Edith and Gabriella That's not like you. You could always take a joke.

[Edith and Gabriella stares in surprise.]

MARY
A bully's defence.

[Larry turns to Mary and his smile drops.]

MARY
Listen everyone, Mr Grey has given my brother-in-law something to make him appear drunk.

VIOLET
Could it be drink?

GABRIELLA
No, not drink. Some horrible pill. Sybil, take him upstairs.

ROBERT
Il ne manque ça.

[Sybil and Isobel fuss over helping Tom.]

CORA
Tom has been the victim of a cruel prank, which I know you will all be kind enough to forget.

VIOLET
Forgive, perhaps. Forget, never.

LORD MERTON
Is this true, Larry?

LARRY GREY
I don't know why you're getting so hot under the collar. He's only a grubby little chauffeur chap--

[Lord Merton, Matthew, and Robert all bolt out of their chairs in indignation.]

LORD MERTON
Be silent this instant, sir!

[Larry stares wide-eyed at his father. Lord Merton turns calmly to Tom, who's slightly hunched over on the serving table with Sybil's support.]

LORD MERTON
I apologize for my son, Mr Branson. Unreservedly. I only hope you'll recover before the wedding.

[Tom nods.]

*****************************************
(The grey and the Crawley family leaves the dining room)

[as Gabriella were the last one that walked out the drawing room then Gabriella's bracelet started to glow.]

GABRIELLA
Jesus, all time you could glow you glow it now (Gabriella looks at the bracelet as she whispers to herself)

GABRIELLA
Mama, could I take a walk to fresh my mind?

CORA
Gabby, it's 7 pm now come back before it's dark?

GABRILLA
I will mama, Carson could you fetch my coat?

CARSON
Certainly my lady
