00:00Girls, here is to marriages, men, parties.
00:05Not particularly in that order.
00:08But darlings, we always come first.
00:13For certain girls of refinement, New York has become too limited.
00:16I quite agree.
00:18I insist that I invite you and your daughters to London.
00:21London.
00:23London, London.
00:24For the debutante's ball.
00:27Americans, they're all new money.
00:30And I'm quite sure they'll be frightful.
00:32We must just grit our teeth and think of the bucketloads of cash.
00:35Here is to a new world.
00:38Shoulders back, head high.
00:40Be fearless.
00:42Sorry.
00:43Sorry.
00:44I'm Nan.
00:45Welcome.
00:46Fresh from New York.
00:47Imagine a whirlwind romance with a handsome English lord.
00:50Of course you have no interest at all in being admired.
00:53I can admire myself, can't I?
01:01They're like cattle.
01:02Rather harsh.
01:03I think they're all lovely.
01:04Yes, they are lovely, but they're also human beings who are funny and smart.
01:08Girls I generally meet don't think or talk to freely.
01:10Or so passionately.
01:13Imagine not realizing you're in the presence of a duke.
01:16Oh, is this? Are you?
01:18What?
01:24Give me one good reason why you couldn't be a duchess.
01:26I can't possibly.
01:27What actually is a duchess?
01:31This is Guy Fraud, my oldest friend.
01:34You've met Nan?
01:35Yes.
01:40She moves in such an unexpected way.
01:44Have you noticed?
01:45Yeah.
01:47Girls are taught that if a story isn't a love story, it's a tragedy.
01:54Well, we have us.
01:57And what if this is our love story?
02:05Goodness, what a lady you are.
02:06All I've ever wanted to be.
