(light music) - Wasn't it Heraclitus who said, "The only constant in life is change?"

- I'll have you know, I'm very adaptable.

I relish change.

- Anything for me, Ridley?

- I'm down from three vets to two.

Or rather one and a half.

- One and three quarters, surely.

- Despite my best efforts.

(cat mewing) Who does this belong to?

I can't be in two places at once.

- There is another option.

- Normally I wouldn't allow it not until you'd completed your training.

- I can do it, Mr. Farnon.

I won't let you down.

- Well, you better not.

- A lot of sacrifices being made all around.

- Tricki and I have been asked to vacate Pumphrey Manor.

It's being requisitioned by the army as a convalescent hospital.

Oh, we'd be perfectly happy in the little cottage.

I do worry about Tricki.

I'm afraid he's going to find it terribly pokey.

- Makes me think I could be doing more than just knitting.

I wish to volunteer to be a blackout warden.

- Oh, good God.

- I don't look too daft.

(chuckling) - Not in the least.

You look very smart.

(light music) - [James] I've come home.

(Helen laughing) Hello there, wee man.

- Are you quite sure about this?

(Jimmy cooing) - [Siegfried] All fathers, God, surrogate, or otherwise, share one common desire.

(Jimmy cooing) To help those under their care become the best version of themselves.

Trouble is when they start to forge their own path.

- Turn about five minutes and you're a woman.

- And you realize the roles have somehow reversed.

You find yourself needing them far more than they ever needed you.

I will never utter a cross word to that boy again if he comes home in one piece.

- The famous Tristan Farnon.

- My replacement, we meet at last.

- Did Siegfried not mention in his letters?

- No, he told me he'd hired a new assistant.

He neglected to tell me he was now sleeping in my bed.

- To things that never change.

(glasses clinking) - [Group] Things that never change.
