Upstairs, Downstairs1971
Richard Bellamy:
[after James has expressed concern over his stepmother's relationship with Paynter] Oh, she's perfectly safe with him.
James Bellamy:
Sh- Why should you say that?
Richard Bellamy:
Oh, for reasons I could not possibly mention to her.
James Bellamy:
He's not married, is he?
Richard Bellamy:
[Trying to be delicate] No, he's not the, uh, marrying sort.
James Bellamy:
[Simon slowly realizes his father's meaning] Oh, you mean... ?
Richard Bellamy:
[Nodding] Mmmh-hmm.
James Bellamy:
Oh, I see.
Richard Bellamy:
He's devoted to his mother. [He rises and walks across the room] A great number of ladies have acted as his hostess at the table over the past ten years, and, I daresay. at least half of them expected to marry him, but I'm quite sure nothing would horrify him more thsn to have a woman permanently in his home or temporarily in his bed.
