Hotel Portofino S01E01 .eng Subtitles

00:00:14,523 --> 00:00:17,Which ones, roses or daisies?

00:00:35,763 --> 00:00:39,That's enough, Betty.
Yes, thank you.

00:00:39,163 --> 00:00:40,Lovely colour.

00:01:00,843 --> 00:01:03,Wow! Look how beautiful it is
over there!

00:01:29,083 --> 00:01:31,Do be careful not to get
smuts on your dress, Rose.

00:01:46,883 --> 00:01:48,Attenzione, prego!

00:01:50,723 --> 00:01:51,Scusi.

00:01:55,483 --> 00:01:59,Hotel Portofino?
Good. Our luggage.

00:01:59,843 --> 00:02:05,Nostri bagagli.
We have eight cases. Otto?

00:02:05,043 --> 00:02:08,Mrs Drummond-Ward?
Si, Signora.

00:02:08,203 --> 00:02:12,Marvellous. Let's try
not to lose any of them, shall we?

00:02:12,443 --> 00:02:16,Come along, Rose.

00:02:17,803 --> 00:02:20,Do try and keep up, darling.

00:02:28,643 --> 00:02:31,They're one of the oldest families
in the county.

00:02:31,083 --> 00:02:34,I've known Cecil since I was a girl.
And what about Mrs Ainsworth?

00:02:34,203 --> 00:02:38,Oh, she's quite a different sort.
A different sort?

00:02:38,123 --> 00:02:40,Don't be dim, Rose.
You know exactly what I mean.

00:02:40,643 --> 00:02:43,Not sure I do, Mama.
Well...

00:02:43,003 --> 00:02:46,she is the sort of woman who thinks
nothing of opening an hotel,

00:02:46,123 --> 00:02:50,for one thing. God knows what
poor Cecil must make of it all.

00:02:51,803 --> 00:02:54,Grazie.
Prego.

00:03:00,603 --> 00:03:02,Andiamo.

00:03:27,763 --> 00:03:31,Betty, I have come to see
how you're getting on.

00:03:31,323 --> 00:03:34,I'm making do, Mrs Mays-Smith.
Making do.

00:03:34,123 --> 00:03:37,Well, this is not like any
cut of meat I've ever cooked before.

00:03:37,483 --> 00:03:40,It's beef.
Yes, it's beef all right.

00:03:40,403 --> 00:03:41,Italian beef.

00:03:41,923 --> 00:03:45,And is there a problem
with the Italian beef, Betty?

00:03:45,003 --> 00:03:46,Well, there's not much fat in it,
ma'**.

00:03:46,963 --> 00:03:50,Means I won't have any dripping
for me puddings. Or the potatoes.

00:03:50,643 --> 00:03:55,Oh, yes, potatoes. These waxy
little bullet-type things

00:03:55,643 --> 00:03:57,that are not like
proper spuds at all.

00:03:57,643 --> 00:04:01,Well, you'll just have to manage.
I'll do my best, ma'**.

00:04:01,003 --> 00:04:03,Please make sure you do.
My mother is very keen

00:04:03,963 --> 00:04:06,we make a good first impression
on the new arrivals.

00:04:06,443 --> 00:04:08,To make everything feel like a...

00:04:13,603 --> 00:04:15,..a home from home.

00:04:42,523 --> 00:04:46,They could arrive any time, Billy.
Yes, Mrs Ainsworth.

00:04:46,483 --> 00:04:49,Remember... first impressions.

00:04:49,923 --> 00:04:53,First impressions. Yes, ma'**.

00:05:25,403 --> 00:05:27,Billy, go get the suitcases.

00:05:31,763 --> 00:05:36,Mrs Drummond-Ward, Rose. Welcome.

00:05:36,483 --> 00:05:37,Mrs... Ainsworth?

00:05:37,763 --> 00:05:42,Yes, but please call me Bella.
I do hope I can call you Julia.

00:05:44,723 --> 00:05:46,How was your journey?

00:05:46,403 --> 00:05:49,Long. And exceedingly tiresome.

00:05:49,003 --> 00:05:53,Well, we must do our best to make it
all seem worth your while.

00:05:53,203 --> 00:05:58,Welcome to the Hotel Portofino.
How utterly charming.

00:05:58,123 --> 00:06:00,Lucian, I do hope you looked after
our guests

00:06:00,763 --> 00:06:03,on the way from the train station.
Darling?

00:06:03,003 --> 00:06:05,Lucian...
You're Lucian?

00:06:06,443 --> 00:06:08,Why didn't you say something?

00:06:08,603 --> 00:06:10,Well,
the moment never seemed to arise.

00:06:10,723 --> 00:06:12,How very irregular.

00:06:17,163 --> 00:06:19,Oh, darling!
What?

00:06:19,883 --> 00:06:21,What are you doing?
It was a joke!

00:06:59,243 --> 00:07:01,Melissa?

00:07:03,563 --> 00:07:05,Melissa!

00:07:09,683 --> 00:07:11,Yes, Aunt.
What's that dreadful racket?

00:07:11,563 --> 00:07:13,I believe some guests are arriving.

00:07:13,163 --> 00:07:16,Oh, I knew
we should have rented a villa.

00:07:16,403 --> 00:07:19,I very much doubt it would have
been as comfortable as this.

00:07:19,043 --> 00:07:22,A lot more private, perhaps.
How are you feeling, Aunt?

00:07:22,923 --> 00:07:24,Simply ghastly.

00:07:24,203 --> 00:07:26,Shall I let them know
that you won't be down for dinner?

00:07:26,483 --> 00:07:29,Goodness, no.
One has to keep one's strength up.

00:08:17,683 --> 00:08:20,Look at how dear and delightful
everything is.

00:08:22,283 --> 00:08:24,Do you think Mrs Ainsworth
does it all herself?

00:08:24,963 --> 00:08:27,I'm sure she enjoys
getting her hands dirty.

00:08:28,843 --> 00:08:30,Let's take a look at you.

00:08:38,163 --> 00:08:40,Well, I suppose you'll have to do.

00:08:42,563 --> 00:08:46,Remember, Rose, first impressions.

00:08:52,043 --> 00:08:55,Hello. Oh, Champagne. How lovely.

00:08:55,083 --> 00:08:58,It's Prosecco.
Lighter and fruitier than Champagne.

00:08:58,723 --> 00:09:02,From a local vineyard.
How did you find your room?

00:09:02,203 --> 00:09:04,Somewhat smaller than we're used to.

00:09:04,403 --> 00:09:07,But so exquisitely decorated.

00:09:07,163 --> 00:09:09,We were wondering
if you did it all yourself.

00:09:09,323 --> 00:09:12,Thank you.
Weren't we, Mama?

00:09:12,083 --> 00:09:16,Well, I do hope that
all of our guests are as observant

00:09:16,283 --> 00:09:19,and sweet as you, Rose.
Are we amongst your first?

00:09:19,643 --> 00:09:21,We've been open since Easter,

00:09:21,203 --> 00:09:24,but it's only in the last month
or so that we've g***t busy.

00:09:24,203 --> 00:09:26,How many times do I have
to tell you? I don't drink alcohol.

00:09:26,563 --> 00:09:30,I ** very sorry, Lady Latchmere.
It won't happen again.

00:09:30,043 --> 00:09:31,It's deeply irritating.

00:09:31,483 --> 00:09:33,Is there anything else
I can get you? No.

00:09:40,443 --> 00:09:41,And that is...?

00:09:41,883 --> 00:09:44,Oh, Count Albani and his son,
Roberto.

00:09:44,923 --> 00:09:46,I shall introduce you.

00:09:46,563 --> 00:09:48,I understood that all the guests
were to be English.

00:09:48,683 --> 00:09:51,Your advertisement
was quite specific.

00:09:51,243 --> 00:09:54,"A very English Hotel
on the Italian Riviera."

00:09:54,363 --> 00:09:58,Yes, quite.
English or... English speaking.

00:09:58,003 --> 00:10:00,Count Albani is an Oxford man.

00:10:00,923 --> 00:10:04,And what about that gentleman?
Ah, Mr Sengupta.

00:10:04,963 --> 00:10:06,Yes, he's a dear friend of my son's.

00:10:06,923 --> 00:10:08,Afternoon.
It's evening.

00:10:08,923 --> 00:10:12,Speak of the devil. Lucian, perhaps
you'd like to redeem yourself

00:10:12,483 --> 00:10:15,to Mrs Drummond-Ward and to Rose.

00:10:15,283 --> 00:10:17,You could tell them
all about Portofino.

00:10:17,203 --> 00:10:20,Hmm? Erm... Ooh, I hardly know
where to start.

00:10:20,683 --> 00:10:22,Will you excuse me?

00:10:22,323 --> 00:10:24,Well, then...
start from the beginning.

00:10:24,963 --> 00:10:28,How does an English family
come to be here in the first place?

00:10:28,203 --> 00:10:30,Oh, well, that one's easy.

00:10:30,603 --> 00:10:32,Mother really rather
fell in love with the place

00:10:32,603 --> 00:10:36,when she was on her honeymoon
with Father.

00:10:36,083 --> 00:10:37,But what made her
decide to move here?

00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:42,I think she thought we would all
benefit from... a fresh start.

00:10:42,003 --> 00:10:44,A new adventure. After the war.

00:10:46,683 --> 00:10:50,For Alice, for Lottie, for myself.
Even for Father.

00:10:52,123 --> 00:10:55,And will Cecil be gracing us
with his presence this evening?

00:10:55,843 --> 00:11:01,Erm, I'm afraid my father
sends his most sincere apologies.

00:11:01,123 --> 00:11:04,He has been unavoidably delayed.

00:11:29,603 --> 00:11:32,The main course.
Thank you.

00:11:41,363 --> 00:11:44,May I have some salt, please?
That's enough.

00:11:49,083 --> 00:11:53,Billy, when you have a moment,
can we have another?

00:11:56,123 --> 00:12:00,Oh, Billy. Thank you so much.

00:12:02,243 --> 00:12:04,Well done.

00:12:06,043 --> 00:12:08,Take it off. It's sweltering.

00:12:13,923 --> 00:12:18,I'm ready. Come on!
See you out there.

00:12:20,123 --> 00:12:23,Come on! Get in!
The water is beautiful!

00:12:37,163 --> 00:12:42,Darling, you were an absolute
trooper tonight, thank you so much.

00:12:42,043 --> 00:12:43,Oh, botheration!
What is it?

00:12:43,523 --> 00:12:46,Another stain.
Don't worry, I can fix that.

00:12:48,283 --> 00:12:50,I think it went about as well
as can be expected.

00:12:50,523 --> 00:12:53,Dinner?
No, the introduction to Rose.

00:12:53,163 --> 00:12:56,Oh.
She's very pretty, isn't she?

00:12:56,203 --> 00:12:58,Not that it matters.
No, no. Of course, of course not.

00:12:58,883 --> 00:13:00,It's character that counts, but...

00:13:00,683 --> 00:13:04,Her father's 6,000 acres
of prime arable land is what counts.

00:13:04,203 --> 00:13:06,Don't be so cynical!
You know it's true.

00:13:06,683 --> 00:13:09,She could look like
the back end of an omnibus

135...
