I've joined the Fire Brigade. 745 00:55:29,326 --> 00:55:33,245 * La-da-dah, di 746 00:55:33,246 --> 00:55:36,606 * Di-di, di-di... * 747 00:55:36,606 --> 00:55:39,486 I love that song. I love it! 748 00:55:41,286 --> 00:55:43,686 We could dance, if you wanted. 749 00:55:44,686 --> 00:55:45,926 There's no-one here. 750 00:55:48,046 --> 00:55:51,046 If we did, I'd miss you when you go. 751 00:55:51,046 --> 00:55:54,006 I'll miss you anyway. Will you? 752 00:55:58,886 --> 00:56:03,286 Will you write? I'm stopping here. I won't have much to tell you. 753 00:56:03,286 --> 00:56:08,406 That's why I want you to. You can be my bit of home. 754 00:56:34,086 --> 00:56:36,525 What's this? 755 00:56:36,526 --> 00:56:40,965 Something I owe you, sir. Something I shouldn't have taken. 756 00:56:40,966 --> 00:56:43,686 I thought you were using it to travel to America. 757 00:56:43,686 --> 00:56:46,966 Beryl wasn't well enough to sail. We missed our passage. 758 00:56:48,246 --> 00:56:51,245 I see. Lady Agnes wrote to Mr Landry, asked him to help us, 759 00:56:51,246 --> 00:56:53,766 but I've been passed fit for the forces now, 760 00:56:53,766 --> 00:56:56,446 so we don't know what we're going to do. 761 00:56:58,366 --> 00:57:00,286 We won't speak of this again. 762 00:57:00,286 --> 00:57:02,246 Sir. 763 00:57:05,926 --> 00:57:10,526 Do you like Mummy's outfit, Hector? It's a St John's Ambulance uniform. 764 00:57:10,526 --> 00:57:15,406 And while you're in the country, Mummy is going to be helping people who've been hurt. 765 00:57:32,166 --> 00:57:36,525 We would appear to have an air-raid warning, your ladyship, Dr Mottershead. 766 00:57:36,526 --> 00:57:40,206 I advise you to take cover, if you would be so kind. Yes, of course, Pritchard. 767 00:57:40,206 --> 00:57:42,806 The refuge is prepared. This way, if you please. 768 00:57:59,069 --> 00:58:27,331 Subtitles by MemoryOnSmells http://UKsubtitles.ru 769 00:58:27,381 --> 00:58:31,931 Repair and Synchronization by Easy Subtitles Synchronizer 1.0.0.0
