British Love Poems
Harley 2022-01-05 08:01:11
A fresh and timeless little British love poem produced by BBC and Lionsgate. There is no particularly cool theme conception, but there is the kind of warmth and humor in the warmth that British movies are good at, simple and warm, and a small love story that is slowly and timelessly told. It's not a coincidence or exaggeration, but it's healing and warm, just like that cup of English citrus tea that you drink in the summer afternoon. Professor Salmon of ewan, cuteness of stand-up collar sweater and plaid shirt, handsome of outdoor vest Martin boots, softness of white shirt and beige pants, rigorous and elegant three-piece suit and tie, pedantic and stubborn as simple as a child. Of course, maybe the ending of the film is consistent with the book and there is no happy ending. It would be more in line with the style of British drama, but looking at Professor Salmon’s innocent baby face, who can bear not giving him a Happy Ending?

-
Dr. Alfred Jones: Did you get my email?
Bernard Sugden: Yes. What did it say?
Dr. Alfred Jones: Took the meeting. Waste of time as predicted. Now if you don't mind I'll get back to my work.
Bernard Sugden: Dr. Jones.
[holds up a document which Dr. Jones takes]
Dr. Alfred Jones: What is this?
Bernard Sugden: P45.
Dr. Alfred Jones: I'm sorry. I don't, I don't understand.
Bernard Sugden: Oh, well, a P45 is the official document given to an employee when his services are no longer required by his or her employer.
Dr. Alfred Jones: Yes, but Bernard, this has got my...
Bernard Sugden: Or, you can sign this letter stating that you are delighted to assign yourself exclusively to the Yemeni salmon fishing project with immediate effect. Up to you.
Dr. Alfred Jones: But Bernard, you know as well as I do this thing is a bloody joke. Where the hell you gonna get salmon that far...
Bernard Sugden: [interrupts and taps the P45] Just there.
Dr. Alfred Jones: This is blackmail Sugden. This is a bloody outrage.
Bernard Sugden: Fitzharris & Price will be paying your salary while on secondment. Almost double what it is now. I'd say that's a bloody outrage.
Dr. Alfred Jones: Double. Can I have time to think about this?
Bernard Sugden: Nope.
Dr. Alfred Jones: Can I borrow your pen?
Bernard Sugden: Yah. It's my special one with the italic nib.
[Dr. Jones grabs it, scribbles his signature on the P45 and storms out]

Tom Price-Williams: Have you any idea what an outcry there'd be if the Environment Agency stripped British rivers of *ten thousand* salmon and shipped them off to the effing Yemen?
Bernard Sugden: Well how many can you spare?
Tom Price-Williams: None! Christ! Bernard. Anglers, they're obsessive crazies. You think Al-Qaeda are a threat, think again mate! I've seen a fly fisherman wade into a river and try and drown a canoeist just for passing by in a Day-Glo jacket. You haven't got a hope in hell of getting these fish from British rivers.
