All language subtitles for A Very Peculiar Practice s02e07 Death Of A University

It's a long way from anywhere you've
ever been before.

Got to get your act together.

We're not sure.

We're not.

Riley, what's the matter?

I was... It was... Oh, I had this

horrible dream.

Hey.

You here?

You all right?

What are you up to?

You're supposed to be the first class
sleeper. Like the Orient Express.

No, I was... I never...

I was playing chess.

With death.

And death looked just like... Ron Rust.

And who is Ron Rust?

You know, a fellow in creative writing,
writes novels and stuff.

So maybe it was a dream about the death
of the English novel.

No, no, it was worse than that.

I was playing for my life, Greta.

And I'm a really lousy chess player.

I don't even know how to castle.

Hey, brilliant person.

Just a dream.

This is real.

You, me, bed.

Nice, warm, sleepy smell.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I haven't had panic and terror like that
for ages.

Come here. Lie down.

Why have you been so nice to me?

I don't know.

Maybe I make a big mistake.

I don't play chess, you see.

I like games of chance.

You know, always like to bet more than I
can afford to lose.

Otherwise, no fun, eh?

And I like your smell in your wonderful
pyjamas.

And, um... Oh, Klein, sometimes my
English

goes crap, you know? I talk like a dog.

I really like the way you talk, Greta.

Shut up. Lie still.

Close your eyes.

I want to say something in Polish.

I found it really lovely.

legal agreements with the university
rest assured your union is going to

all these new proposals we have the will
we have the muscle and we have right

on our side certainly we are ready
willing and able to implement a

rent strike but we are a democratic
union we are going to the vice

and we are going to demon

university accommodation.

No implementation of the pyramid failing
policy.

Full investigation of the union
officers.

Hello, Sammy.

Pissed again, I see. Yeah, but who paid
for Harry Point as Montego, eh? Come on,

Sammy, we'll buy you a drink. No, I'm
saying the union.

Union accounts are always open to
inspection, as Sammy Lim knows.

Of course the administration are going
to try to divide us and discredit us at

time like this. Of course.

in our mix. Let go, you beastly brother!

But we must stand together!

College kids.

Who needs them, right?

Kind of sad, though.

I had a good enough time at Harvard.

Our fraternity house, stuff that went
down there.

You know what the freshman had to do to
get acceptance?

Go out and catch a rat, bring him home,
skin him, roast him, and eat him.

Is that right, Jack?

Any other trouble with this place?

Has no tradition.

Okay, so the letters go down to
departments.

Those we still have, yeah.

Restructuring on the pyramid principle
throughout.

Use examinations to take out half the
students in each year.

Make every department as lean and fit as
electroacoustics. I guess that'll give

us the highest proportion of first
-class degrees in Europe.

Release some teaching facilities, too.
We can turn them over to research.

And the halls of residence.

Yeah, the letter's gone out to all
resident staff and students.

New rent scheme based on open market
levels. Index linked.

Yeah, I like that, Charlie.

That's a new deal.

No favors, no discrimination.

White or yellow, black or tan.

You get what you pay for.

I don't care if you're a hick from the
sticks. If you want a penthouse suite,

your money's as good as if you were one
of the royal princes.

Jack, you know a full grant wouldn't buy
a single room for a month at the new

rates.

Hey, Charlie, we're doing these kids a
favor.

We're offering them choice, and choice
is freedom.

They can lie around on welfare checks so
they can get off their butts and work

their way through college the way we
did, Charlie.

We're giving them a chance to stand
tall.

Sure we are.

I'm assuming in practice we'll be
evicting 90, 95 % of them.

Well, yeah.

I guess they're figures.

I have the roughs for the new brochure
here.

What do you think?

Lowlands University, a new concept in
conference and leisure facilities for

industry and business. Yeah.

Kind of wordy.

Yeah, the pictures sure look pretty,
though.

Make it clear we're offering a year
-round facility, not just vacations.

Jack, you don't feel we might be, uh...

Going a bit fast here.

We're frontrunners, Charlie.
Frontrunners have to go fast.

Now, listen, if you're thinking Kent
State, forget it. This is England. We're

strictly legal.

And if there is trouble, we have the
best police force in the world.

But there won't be trouble.

Harry Pointer is a sensible guy.

You know what I think, Charlie?

I think you spent too long in Nicaragua.

Yeah.

Sometimes I think that, too. Come on,
Charlie. Loosen up.

We're having a ball.

Jesus, Marilyn, Joseph, the whole campus
is on sickness now.

Right, I'll take anybody who's come for
jabs or dressing.

And I've laid on a pot of tea and jam
bodies for any of you who haven't had

breakfast. Ah, maybe I'd best say no
more than three at a time. Nurse Gaggan,

is not half past nine yet.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Kramer. Have they
not permitted to be here till after half

past nine then?

Come on.

Poor little scrap.

Well, clearly we're just going to have
to extend surgery hours. Today?

Can't be done, buddy. On the court at 11
.15.

With the vice -chancellor.

Humiliate him, Bob.

Crush him. Make him crawl on his belly
like a snake.

I thought I'd let him win, actually.

You know.

About the surgery hours, I didn't just
mean today. Till the end of term, I

meant. Have you seen them out there?

It's been like...

But it's been like Walsall all week, and
it's getting worse. Oh, Lord, look

here. We can't give in to the rabble. If
they haven't the wit to come in out of

the rain, then it's their lookout.

Those students are suffering as a direct
result of the policies of the Midnight

Cowboy. I'm surprised at you, Bob.
You're a doctor, man. Do your duty, damn

Don't come the heavy housemaster with
me, Jock. You're not the head of the

practice anymore, and neither will you
be for much longer, buddy, unless you

your act together. We're not living in a
bleeding -heart culture anymore.

Your bleeding heart is perfectly all
right. right now, is it, Bob? I'm so

Look here, Rose, I've never struck a
woman in my life, but one more crack

Daphne or Glenn Oates, and it's you and
me in the gym with the gloves on. Oh,

Robert, we understand your deep psychic
pain, but you wouldn't threaten to pull

me lasses.

I can look after myself, thank you,
Jock. And less about the deep psychic

or the same goes for you, you old fart.
Oh, you all, for Christ's sake, shut up.

Now, we have a crisis here.

Vitamin deficiencies, malnutrition,
bronchitis.

Pleurisy, pneumonia, you name it. I
actually saw my first case of what they

to call trench foot this week. I've also
got six cases of severe clinical

depression. Six!

And they're just the serious ones, the
ones I'm going to have to refer.

And I think Jock is right. This crisis
is the direct result of policies pursued

by this administration.

The students can't afford to buy books,
eat or pay the rent. And no matter how

hard they work, half of them expect to
be thrown out at the end of this term.

Well, that'll get the numbers down a bit
to roll on next term, eh?

I've also had a nice friendly letter
from Charlie Duesenberry inviting us to

show how the centre can be run on a
profit -making basis within the next two

years.

Or else, eh?

Brilliant!

Leave it to me, Stephen.

I propose to tell him and Jack Daniels
to get stuffed.

I'd like your support.

An excellent notion, Stephen.

And I could recommend a first -class
taxi there, Mr Edinburgh Man.

I'm sure he'd be happy to make the trip.

Thank you, Jock.

Robert, you must be joking, buddy.

Oh, you certainly have my support,
Stephen, as a doctor and as a woman.

Thank you, Rose.

Jack Daniels is a brilliant man, a
powerful man. He is a force for good or

I think he recognises another such man
in you, Stephen.

Well, I don't know about that. Oh, yes,
he needs you, Stephen.

He needs you to fight him tooth and
nail.

Force him to recognize the strength that
lies in gentleness, in caring, in love.

Ah, love.

So rarely do we hear that word now in
the pith and swamp.

But the ceremony of innocence is not
finally drowned.

There is still love here for those who
can tap its secret source.

Ah, Lord.

rake out the Beatles albums on with the
caftans past the lentils.

Pathetic! Oh, Robert, you really mustn't
bury your feelings.

I don't! Deep down, you know, I think
Jock's right.

Perhaps all we do need, finally, is
love.

If it is not a vulgar suggestion, I
think what's needed round here is a bit

hard work from the doctors. Do you know
they're stacked up four deep in the

waiting room?

Sammy!

You were like an emblem of our battered
dreams.

Take my advice and give up the fight
game while you're still young.

I don't like to hurt your feelings, but
it's clearly not your metty. I know

that, but what was a bite in the way I
took to get up people's noses?

Ali gave me a bit of a scene to last
night.

Me own fault.

I've been a bit unnecessary, one of her
friends.

Oh, yeah.

And then I got into this hot political
discussion with a couple of Harry

Pointless friends.

Thing is, none of that's my style.

I'm into litigation.

I'm taking the university and the union
to the Court of Human Rights.

And I think I've got a chance of a
result there.

Isn't it hot in here?

How are the dizzy spells?

Come and go.

Quite sort of nice.

Like dreaming.

Sammy, when you came off the bike...

Did they give you an X -ray at the
hospital?

No, I don't think so. It was just cuts
and bruises, please.

I think you'd better toddle down there
and have one.

It is just the faintest of marginal
possibilities that you are wandering

with a hairline fractured skull, which
might adversely affect your reason of

keen forensic skill, if you follow me.

Yeah, right.

Here.

Send it.

Sammy, you must take care of yourself,
my boy.

Men like you and me are rare today.

Men who know the loveliness of a lovely
girl.

Men who understand the sovereignty of
love and justice.

A great battle is hard upon us, Sammy. I
feel it in my bones.

Sammy, we must love one another or die.

Yeah, right.

I know what you mean, Doc.

Or was it?

Love one another and die.

Right to a day, early nights, plenty of
liquid.

Don't come back for a fortnight.

Ben and Phil, don't come back at all.

Oh, Lord.

Mr Smallcock for Dr Buzzard, please.

Buzzard! Ah, Mr. Corazon.

Corazon, then, quite.

Yes, Robert Buzzard, Buzzard Lowlands
International Supplies.

Yes, I'm happy to say that everything is
in order.

Yes, we've managed to locate the goods
to your precise specification.

Small cop. Let's see your tongue. Small
cop? Tongue? Tongue, you deaf?

Sorry, Mr. Corazon, yes?

An impeccably reliable source. As soon
as we get your banker's draft, we'll

authorise express shipment of the arms
and accessories by private air freight,

CIF Bogota, all documents ahead.

That civil war must be a bloody
nuisance, I should think.

Jolly good.

Pretty quiet here, too.

Well, we're always at your service, Mr
Corathon.

Give us a ring, we'll give you a code.

We try harder at buzzard lowland.

Right. Two a day.

Plenty of liquid. Early night.

Off you go, Mr. Smallcock.

Miss Poynter for Dr. Bugger, please.

Smallcock?

Smallcock?

Oh, go away!

So what is this with the cart?

Am I ill and I don't know it?

You get me frightened, you know. I'm
sorry.

It seemed the only way I've seen you.
You've been so inaccessible lately.

So... Here I am, where you want me. So
what now? You want me to take my clothes

off? You want to examine the breath? You
want to get inside my pants? Is this

what it is? I don't understand.

Greta, please.

Don't humiliate me.

You know I care for you. Don't cheapen
it.

I'm not like... Oh, I can't bear to
think of you with him. But I'd never use

same devious walk to... Oh, right.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what you want, all right?

I don't understand English people.

Say one thing, mean another thing, then
do the opposite of everything.

I can't say what I... Shit.

You know, sometimes I feel so foreign
here.

You're a woman, Greta.

Women understand each other, they do.

Remember when you first came to see me?

Yes.

I'm sorry it didn't work over whatever
you wanted.

Too many people.

Bad timing.

So maybe just friends.

Is this possible with you?

Whatever happens, I'll always be your
friend.

I'd like to help you, Greta.

Not so easy with Polish disaster pests.

They're chopping my crab department, so
I have no job.

You have a job for me?

You might be able to keep your job here.

I know Jack Daniels would be sorry to
lose you.

There's so much new thinking going on.

Jack wants to put the emphasis on
individual talent rather than cumbersome

departmental structures.

There might be some lovely maverick jobs
going for... Oh, for lovely mavericks.

Let me see what I can do with Jack.

With Jack?

Hey, you mean you have something going
on with Vice -Chancellor? You see? him.

Oh, Greta, you know that's not my style.

But I do have his ear.

You're having his ear?

Oh, yes.

Never mind. Carry on.

And, well, with Stephen leaving... What?

Oh, he hasn't mentioned it.

Well, no doubt he would find it
difficult to tell you.

There's going to be some restructuring
at the health centre, too.

I think Stephen will be quite pleased to
be moving on.

Moving on?

What do you mean?

What moving on?

Where to?

What are you saying now?

Oh, Greta.

I hoped I wouldn't have to be the one to
tell you.

So it's one of the tablets four times a
day.

What about the other stuff?

Three times a day. Roughly breakfast,
lunch and supper time. And as much as

can manage, OK?

What is it exactly?

Well, it's a concentrated protein mix.

It's food, basically.

You can't afford to buy the food you
need, so I'm prescribing it for you. Not

too thrilling, I'm afraid, but I'm not
allowed to prescribe Cock -o -Ban.

It's all right. I'm a veggie.

Come back and see me in a week.

And take care of yourself, OK?

Dr. Dacre?

Yes, Mrs. Kramer.

There's a chief inspector of police to
see you.

What?

Uh, yes, all right. I'm free now. Send
him through.

Morning, Doc.

Lynn. You remember?

Chief Inspector Turtle to you.

Accelerated promotion.

Good, eh?

But you... It's me.

Honest.

Look.

There.

Does that refresh your memory?

Oh, Lynne.

Right. On your feet, son.

Come on.

Over here.

Right. Go round here, remember?

Is there something you'd like to tell
me, Stephen?

I feel really dreadful about it.

Hey, listen, I know how these things
happen.

Me only thought for going away and
leaving you, wasn't it?

Tasty bloke like you.

Actually, they'd all be coming in the
window. Look, I'm not... What?

Well, attractive to women.

No, of course you're not.

It's just that one or two of us have
warped tastes.

Um, actually, there was quite a bit of
stuff I was thinking I was going to have

to tell you.

Well, no need now, eh?

Oh, come on, Doc.

Cheer up.

It's really... It's really all right.

Disappointed?

You always were one bad on a bad time.

I'll tell you one thing.

I wish you weren't such a one -at -a
-time person.

Didn't come here just to see you anyway.

I'm, um, well, sort of police spy.

Um, brilliant disguise.

Yeah, well, you know, there's been a bit
of a bug going around that something's

going to happen here.

They might be joking, I said. Things
happening at Lowland?

Well, you're an old Lowland lad, they
said.

Go and have a look round.

So, what have you all been up to, eh?

Wow. 6 -3 to Daniels. Not often I get
hammered like that, sir.

Well, I like to keep in shape.

And you certainly are in good shape,
sir.

I mean, well, I didn't mean to... So are
you, Bobby.

But then on the other hand... Bobby.

Yes? I know what went down just now.

On the court.

Next time I want your best game, Bobby.

Right? Um, right.

After you, sir.

Hey.

chance to glance through those
privatization proposals, sir?

Why, sure I did, Bobby. Oh, good!

And, um, what did you think, sir?

Well, Bobby, I guess we like the quality

of your thinking.

Thank you, sir.

Strike!

Strike!

Strike!

And when the Lamb opened the fifth seal,
I heard a voice like the sound of

thunder saying, On the twenty -seventh
day, when the temple shall burn, and

darkness cover the Pisanth swamp, on
that day shall the nuns leave the barren

lands forever, and that day shall be the
day before the last day.

Dangerous mood?

I don't think so, Harry.

I think you're putting me on.

Straight up, Mr.

Duesenberry. I don't think we can hold
them. We've got nothing to hold them

with. This is the late 80s, Harry.

People don't have expectations anymore.

They're grateful for anything they can
get.

You're not offering them anything.

I mean, if there was some easy payment
facility, something that sounds like a

concession, I've got to go to them with
something.

I guess you could use a bigger car,
Harry. That is not the point.

Well, yeah.

You like Mercedes?

I think they're so reliable.

When are you going to move them out?

Uh -uh.

I've got to know, Charlie.

I'm trying to help.

Ten days.

But I don't think the case of the riots
quite exactly.

I mean, look.

Can't see them storming the Winter
Palace, can you?

No.

I've been wasting police time here, Doc.

Apart from seeing you.

It has been nice.

Well, not as nice as it might have been,
but really nice.

Are you paying attention, Doc?

Oh, why, yes.

I saw her on the piazza, do you know
her?

That's her, that's Greta.

Hello, Greta. This is the... Double dry
white wine.

Hey, let me...

I'm

sorry.

I shouldn't have come in here.

I don't know why I did this.

Don't be silly. Come and join us.

I wanted to see you.

Now I don't feel so good.

I'm not that horrible.

Lynn, this is Greta. Greta, this is
Lynn.

Wonderful girlfriend meets a big
disaster.

Well, heard a lot about you.

Polish, right?

Yes.

Polish.

Polish.

Foreign and Polish.

Good for bad times in bed while the
wonderful girlfriends are not there.

What's the matter? There's something in
Polish, all right?

I'm sorry.

Okay.

You come in here and take him away.

Take him away.

I'm not going to take him away. Well,
stay here with him if you like,

No hassle.

They give me a boot anyway.

I go away.

Hey, hasn't he told you?

Haven't you told her, you daft prat? I
didn't...

I didn't tell her you were here.

Look, Greta.

He's not going away.

I'm going away.

Not what I hear.

He loves you now.

So there you are.

You can have him.

Something the matter with him?

Well, he's a dark prat.

He's ridiculously inhibited and he's a
bloody awful swimmer.

No, he's all right.

What it is, he's jacked me in because
he's gone and fallen in love with you.

And I'm just being really, really nice
about it.

Is this true?

Think we should start again from where
you walk in?

Well, come on, Doc.

Empty glass is here. Get him in.

Well, that's kind of interesting, Rose.

You know, I've been real disappointed in
Steve's input. Nothing I say seems to

strike him right.

I guess I made a mistake about Steve.

You sure about this?

She told me so herself, Jack.

He seduced her while she was still his
patient.

Yeah, I hate to remind you, but you were
sure about George Bunn as well, honey.

He did resign, Jack. Yeah, he resigned,
but we didn't look too good either for a

while.

So, the chick will stand up, will she?

Well, I think that rather depends, you
see.

As things stand, she doesn't have a job
here after the end of term.

She doesn't?

You act her department, Jack.

Oh, yeah, sure.

Art history.

Old purse flat.

It would be a very liberal gesture if
you were to create a special post for

And I'm sure she'd be very grateful.

Yeah, I guess.

You know, I'm not too happy about
appointing faculty members from the

Bloc. I know you do things differently
in Europe, but, hell, it seems plain

crazy to me.

How do you know she's not a Soviet
plant?

Jack.

She's Polish.

She's not even a communist.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I did major
in political theory, and I have to tell

you that Poland is a communist state.

You trying to tell me General
Jaruzelski's a Republican?

She hasn't lived there since she was a
girl, Jack.

Oh, well.

She was raised in the Catholic faith,
Jack, like you.

Is that right?

Oh, Jack.

The Pope's Polish.

Oh, yeah.

You seem kind of hot on this Polish
chick, Rose.

We had a raw deal.

And she could be very helpful.

And very grateful.

Yeah, okay.

I'll see what I can do.

Now, listen, Rose.

Don't take this wrong, but this is small
stuff.

And right now I got a lot of big stuff
going. I got to keep my desk clear for

the big stuff, you know.

I do understand, Jack.

And I trust you.

It's quite a crucial time in the
university's history, isn't it?

It sure is, Rose.

A whole new philosophy of higher
education is on the launching pad.

We're really going for it, Rose.

The eyes of the world are on Lowlands
now.

When you talk like that, Jack...

I get a... I can't put it into words.

But you know what I mean.

I guess I do, Rose.

I guess I feel the same way about you,
too.

It seems such a shame.

We have to be strong.

We have to think of Julie.

Yes.

Jack!

Do you think Julie's been entirely fair
about all this?

Well, I guess she was kind of sore about
it. But hasn't she surrendered her...

well, her moral advantage?

I don't understand you.

Oh, you didn't know.

She's... She's seeing someone, Jack.

Seeing someone?

Yes, I'm so sorry. He's...

Well, I suppose one could describe him
as an older man.

Keep in touch, eh?

Take care of yourself.

Thank you.

Well, bye, Greta.

See you again, I hope.

Go, go, go, go.

through that judgment.

Can't you see what you're doing is
totally immoral? You put the rents up to

level that no one can meet except the
odd few Saudi Arabians and Japanese, and

then you evict them when they can't pay.
Steve, I'm getting a little tired of

your attitude.

Those students have a choice. If they
don't want to live on campus, they don't

have to live on campus. I'm running a
university, not a soup kitchen.

I don't see anything immoral in asking
for a little financial commitment, a

little personal investment in their own
future.

Oh, I don't know about you, Steve, but I
didn't have it so soft when I was a

college student. I worked my way through
college, Steve. I'm not ashamed of

that. Yes, fine, except there aren't any
jobs that they can do.

I'm disappointed in you, Steve. All I
hear from you these days is whining,

beefing, and bellyaching.

You have a positive suggestion?

Yes.

Reverse the rent policy, reverse the
failing policy, subsidize teaching and

accommodation out of all these...
profits we're making. All right, Steve,

up to Senate. Now, if you'll excuse me.
There isn't another Senate meeting till

next month, and there's no point in
raving things at Senate because you've

rid of all the opposition.

You see what I mean?

Negative attitudes.

If you could just learn to think
positive, Steve, you could have a ball

Lowlands.

Harry Poynter's thinking positive.

He's helping us find solutions.

And we're going to be very grateful to
Harry.

Think about it.

bastard on you.

Oh, I haven't called worse than that by
bigger guys than you, Steve.

It don't mean diddly squat to me.

I'm not doing anything I'd be ashamed to
tell my mother about.

I don't think you're happy here at
Lowland, Steve. You're not coming on

of the team.

I guess I'm going to have to let you go.

No, I'm not leaving.

I don't think you hear what I'm saying,
Steve. I want you to get the hell out of

my university.

I hear you're sleeping with your
patients, and I don't like that kind of

We go for family values here.

So I guess I'd like to see your
resignation, Steve.

I'd hate to see you... What do you guys
call it?

Struck off?

Bloody Welts Riot.

Okay, Steve.

Just as soon as I find a window in my
diary.

Well, I'm frightfully sorry, Mr.
Corathon. I can't understand it at all.

The crate was flown out yesterday. It
should be with you.

Wait a minute.

What time do you have there?

Ah, bingo!

Time zones.

9 .17 tomorrow, Bogota.

Not at all, Mr Corazon. Buzzard lowlands
are always at your service.

Right, Mr Little Dick.

Smallcock. You're fine, Smallcock.

You're cured. Take yourself off.

But I'm rather worried.

We're all rather worried.

Try going into the arms trade. That'll
make you worry. Wait till your wife

you. You'll go bananas.

Now, listen to me.

I'll just say this once.

It's got nothing to do with the Huns.
It's what you do with it.

You don't have to take it because it's
not legal.

Tear him down and take him to court.

Amanda Gross, Charles Dusenberry,
Lowlands University.

We touched base last week.

Right.

It's all quiet now. There was a minor
incident this morning, just a scuffle.

I guess what we're anticipating is a
fair -sized, peaceful demonstration.

We're getting good intelligence from the
Students' Union, and there is a small

troublemaking element.

A token police presence would be very
helpful in nipping any trouble in the

Yeah, I'm sure that should do it fine.

We really appreciate your input,
Commander.

I like this country, Jack.

Make a call like that in Salvador, and
either you get nothing, or a hundred

swarm in, stealing typewriters and
tearing people's heads off.

British moderation.

Yeah.

Julie. Hi, Jack. Charlie. Mrs. Daniels.
Beat it, Charlie.

I'm leaving, Jack.

You're leaving Lowlands?

I'm leaving you.

What the hell for?

Because you're an asshole, Jack.

And because I guess I finally found the
love of a good man.

Don't be shy, honey.

Come on in.

What is it with you goddamn doctors?

Oh, God.

Oh, God. Come back.

Consuelo, all is forgiven.

Buzzard! You are going to have to come
back in, Dr. Buzzard.

There's this big crate arrived and you
have to sign for it personally.

Would you get a move on? Because it's
filling the waiting room.

And it has this strange smell on it.

What? Oh, my God!

Maureen, stay there!

Oh, God!

That's Dr.

Buzzard.

Sign there. You bloody fool! This is
supposed to be in Bogota!

Want to punch out the throat, mate? You
watch your lip and sign there.

Yes, if that's any of your business.

Don't you think there's enough violence
in this world without you putting your

oar in? What are you talking about?

Oh, guns, bombs, rocket launchers. How
would I know what you have in there? Oh,

no. Arms!

Arms! For Bogota University Medical
School!

Come on!

We've got to get them in the freezer.
There's 40 grand's worth here and

defrosting!

You're disgusting.

I'm going home.

Hello, my darling.

Yes, I've come back.

And I'll never leave you again.

You're an absolute bounder of it, my
darling.

But I just can't live without you.

No, tell me, tell me.

have, my darling. That was the whole
idea.

But everything's going to be fine now.

Of course it is.

Oh, by the way, Mr. Dewsbury phoned
while you were out.

Oh, my God. He said the Vice -Chancellor
had some very good news for you.

Really? I think this is really it, my
darling.

We're really and truly getting on with
our lives.

Yeah, I guess we made a miscalculation
here.

Well, they're in now. It won't be easy.

Still, they're just kids, you know.

Nice talking to you.

You told me a lot of porkers, I think.

I wanted to help.

Greta, it was all for you.

Yes? And now what? You're joining us or
what?

Oh, Greta, these are just... boys'
games.

Not boys.

People. Vulnerable human bodies.

Goodbye, Greta.

Oh, the hero of the hour.

How does it feel, my dear fellow?

Well, all right, like.

As a matter of fact, I feel a bit funny.

I've got a sort of tingle down my right
arm.

Sammy, you did go for that X -ray.

Yeah, sure.

Well, I was going to go, but a bite
wouldn't.

Don't worry, Don.

I'll go tomorrow, all right?

quiet now. I know these people, and I
think it's going to be all right.

My very firm advice is you hold them on
the perimeter.

I've got someone here who's going in to
talk, and I think we'll get a result.

Who is it?

It's a bloke from the Senate, head of
the medical center.

Sensible type, is he?

Yes, sir. He seems a sensible bloke to
me.

Thank you, ma 'am.

Thank you, sir.

You're in, Doc.

No, Steve, I guess I'm not going to give
the bastards anything.

The way I look at it, a few students are
expendable.

The way I look at it, all the students
are expendable.

You're mad.

I'm not crazy, Steve.

I am the future, and you better believe
it.

All that crap out there, all those
people.

They're irrelevant, Steve.

A university is about knowledge and
power.

Cosmic knowledge, cosmic power.

It is about understanding and
controlling the universe.

Jack, you've been under a terrible
strain these past few weeks. Your

breaking up. Now, I know what that feels
like. Listen, I don't give a shit about

marriage.

I am talking ultimate values here.

What, do you think a university is about
being kind to dumb old farts?

You think a university is about a lot of
middle class kids getting their rocks

off?

The university is bigger than all of
that.

Now, don't you understand yet, you dumb
ass bastard?

Those students are expendable.

You are expendable.

And ultimately, Steve, even I

am excited.

I'm bored with you now, Steve.

Why don't you go and screw yourself?

No, he's not rational. He seems to want
Armageddon or something.

Sorry, sir, no result as yet.

No,

really, sir, I think that would be
counterproductive.

Sorry,

sir.

Right. That will be there in two
minutes.

Right.

That's it.

They're coming in.

We'd better get clear. He's going to be
lasting.

Never. We stand firm. Right, Sammy?

Yeah, right, Doc.

Look, I'm sorry.

Coma. He had a bang on the head over a
week ago, tingling down the right side

today. Subjural hematoma?

Stephen, he must have had intracranial
bleeding all this week.

Oh, Sammy!

Sammy!

Plato's Republic?

I am talking.

Camelot.

And when the lamb opened the fifth
field, I heard a voice like the sound of

thunder saying, On the twenty -seventh
day, when the temple shall burn, and

darkness cover the fifth swamp,

On that day shall the nuns leave the
barren lands forever, and that day shall

the day before the last day.

Well, Doc, are you going to like it in
Poland?

Well, I'm a bit nervous about it.

Hey, listen, person.

You are not as much different.

Just another desperate country.

Strange to think that used to be Lowland
University.

Well, we were there, Doc.

Bob Buzzard's still there.

Head of the medical center.

Looking after Jack Daniels and a gang of
robots.

Right up his alley.

Oh, God.

Could have been such a good place, you
know.

Could have been really... OK.
