The Forsyte Saga2002

Soames Forsyte:
so... if you couldn't commit the matter to paper...

Jolyon:
keep your daughter away from my son! You probably know, they are together, as we speak.

Soames Forsyte:
[takes off his glasses] I had no idea.

Jolyon:
They met at June's gallery. My son is staying with Val and Holly. Your daughter invited herself down, finagle her way in!

Soames Forsyte:
Val Darty and his wife extended Fleur an invitation...

Jolyon:
She forced their hand! She must be like you, she sees something and decides to get it.

Soames Forsyte:
[puts down his glasses] so what do you want me to do?

Jolyon:
make sure, that this doesn't happen again.

Soames Forsyte:
Stop it, you mean?

Jolyon:
Absolutely.

Soames Forsyte:
You come here, behind your son's back, and tell me to break this up. [gets up from his desk, walks towards Jolyon] You! Of all people, the man who once lectured me on the importance of happiness in marriage; the man who spurned his own family to follow his heart; who stole another man's wife in the name of love...

Jolyon:
Jon and your daughter aren't in love...

Soames Forsyte:
[raising his voice] Have you asked them?

Jolyon:
...

Soames Forsyte:
This liaison is repugnant to me too - your son with my daughter. I will do my best to stop it and I presume you will too. But at least I don't have to play the hypocrite. Good evening to you sir.
